He further stated Lahontan Staff
would set up a reliability assess-
ment program with So. Tahoe PUD
to determine whether or not the
corrections made on the South side
(Phase I) were adequate and if so,
they will say Phase II is no longer
needed.
2) May have District Staff submit a
"spill contingency plan" since
Phase I has emergency storage, but
Phase II does not, in the event there
is a spill on the East side.
3) State there is a time schedule for
Phase II, if it is necessary to do it,
in the environmental documents* for
Phase I.

3) District's application for any
"fix it" grant monies; and
4) To include FLL District in with
the main District, with no
special assessments (after the
completion of Phase II if that
phase should be necessary).
