vice Chairman Onysko opened the
Public Hearing at 5:14 PM.
OPEN HEARING
Rick Hydrick stated he did not have a
lot to add to the presentation he made
at the first Public Hearing held on
this matter, February 6, 1992. He re-
ported on his 2/20/92 phone conversation
with Mark Huston, one of the liaison
persons between the District and Fallen
Leaf Lake property owners: The people
Mr. Huston had spoken to supported the
Ordinance, but had concerns about the
June 30th deadline and the 60,000 GPD
figure designated to the F.L.L. area.
They asked what would happen if there
were future overages and how these
overages would be handled.
Hydrick stated he intended to present
to the Board, sometime in March, a
method of measuring flows in the area.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING MINUTES - FEBRUARY 20. 1992
Diane Gilbert stated she had sent
all F.L.L. property owners and permit-
ees copies of Draft Ordinance 440,
Rebate Program Info. & Application,
and the Tribune article describing the
dilemma of the District. She reported
on phone conversations with two F.L.L.
property owners: (1) Everett Lundy and
(2) Mansfield Smith and read aloud
letters received by F.L.L. property
owners:
1) Edgar P. Whittemore, Jr.
2) James B. Hill/President
F.L.L. Associates
3) Frederick J. Sobeck, M.D.
4) Peter E. Thieriot
5) Everett w. Lundy
STAFF REPORTS
(continued)
Bill Craven/F.L.L. Homeowners Assn. PUBLIC COMMENTS
stated they were in agreement with the
basic concept of installing low-flow
fixtures, but in no way in agreement
with the 60,000 GPD figure and displayed
a graph he used at the previous Public
Hearing showing calculations for I/I.
He requested an actual fixture count
and asked for a credit for the number
of gallons for which they are presently
paying. He felt the District should
"eat" any infiltration within the
system and then they would have a
fighting chance to live with the
60,000 GPD figure.
He also noted a portion of the F.L.L.
Associates are on-line at the present
time and contributed to the July 4,
1991 flow count.
Chris Thomsen/Stanford Sierra Camp
supported water conservation and re-
viewed their plans for replacing
their fixtures with low-flow fixtures.
He felt the June 30th deadline date
would not allow the residents a
reasonable amount of time to
accomplish the retrofit.
He requested the District investigate
infiltration into the system. Hydrick
noted the portions of the gravity
system at Stanford Camp and other F.L.L.
areas which were susceptible to I/I
were in the private portion of the
system, not the public portion.

Wayne Koch said he had been in
contact with many property owners
and most of them had no knowledge of
the flow problems until a short time
ago. He said he may not have access
to many of the homes (depending on
the weather) until July 1st. and the
June 30th deadline was not realistic.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
(continued)
In regards to I/I, he suggested the
District might like to compare the
water flow figures (pumping figures
for 120 customers) with the sewage
flow figures.
He stated he could secure over 1,000
toilets in less than 4 weeks, but there
would be problems with retrofitting
many cabins with low-flow fixtures.
Keith Klein/Citv Council said he
personally supported the Board in
its attempt to solve the problem for
the entire community.
6:20 PM - Chairman pierini closed the CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION
Public Comment portion of the Hearing. OF HEARING
Board members discussed the dilemma of BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
the District to meet the F.L.L. 60,000
quota in order to preserve the 1992/93
community-wide building season.
Dale Sare explained the TRPA position
on the overages at F.L.L.: TRPA will
measure the peak-day flows (July 1 - 6,
1992) and every 96 gallons over 60,000
will force the District to reserve those
representative sewer units, taking away
sewer units for new building on the
South Shore.
Director Wallace thanked the F.L.L.
property owners for their courtesy in
approaching the problem.
Director Onysko felt the Ordinance
should be enacted, but would propose
at the next meeting considering
instituting an accurate flow measure-
ment system.
Director Mason said he had questions
concerning options to the District if
it was determined there really were
these flow overages. He questioned
what the options might be and sug-

gested the District get a correct
fixture count. He felt June 30th was
not a good deadline date.
BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
(continued)
Director Mosbacher said she did not
like the June 30th date, but felt the
District had to try to cooperate with
the other Agencies.
Chairman pierini questioned staff about
the maximum flows at F.L.L. Manager
Baer stated District staff had convinced
TRPA staff the meter is reading at least
10% high and TRPA had agreed to lower
the overage total by 12,000 GPD, changing
the overage total to 18,000 GPD.
Chairman pierini felt there was no reason
to pass an Ordinance which could not be
enforced (the June 30, 1992 deadline
date). He felt October, 1992 was the
better of the two dates.
Moved Mosbacher/Second Onysko/Mason & BOARD ACTION
pierini Voted No/Passed to enact
Ordinance No. 440/To Provide For
Installation of Low Water Use Plumbing
Fixtures.

Re: Proposed Ordinance - Fallen Leaf Lake
Dear Ms. Gilbert:
Thank you for sending us a copy of the referenced ordinance. We
have reviewed it and wish to go on reoord in support of the
proposed ordinance as drafted. As you know, we plan to install
100% Low Water Use Plumbing Fixtures in the 39 rental units and
the manager's unit which we plan to construct on our property.
We feel that is appropriate and necessary for all other Fallen
Leaf property owners to retrofit their properties in the spirit
of the cooperative effort described in your letter. The rebate,
proposed by your District is consistent with such a cooperative,
effort and we commend you for this aspect of the plan.
I have a question in reqard to the construction of new facilities
such as we contemplate. - Should not the proposed ordinance
require all new construction to incorporate Low Water Use
Plumbing Fixtures? Or, if another ordinance containing such a
requirement is already in force, should the new ordinance not
refer to that fact? I feel that the property owners who will be
affected by the new ordinance should be assured of the fact that
all new construction must comply with ~he same dictates as
existing construction.
By copy of this letter I am notifying the Secretary to the Board
of Directors of the Fallen Leaf Lake Community Services District
of our position vis-a-vis the proposed ordinance. I feel that
the C.S.D. will favor the ordinance and will comply with its
requirements as they apply to new facilities which they plan to
construct in the Public Access Area at the south end of the lake.

RE: Draft Ordinance No. 440
Dear Directors:
I am a property owner at Fallen Leaf Lake and I
have just received the letter of Diane Gilbert dated
February 12, 1992. I am writing to ask that you post-
pone your decision on proposed Ordinance No. 440 tor
several reasons.
First, I read with amusement the article from the
Tahoe Tribune included with Ms. Gilbert's letter. The
reason for the "minimal resistance" from Fallen Leaf
Lake residents to this ordinance is that none of us
were aware of your proposed action. In the short time
that has passed since receiving your letter on
Tuesday, February 18, I have spoken with several other
property owners. None of us were aware of your
proposal because none had received notice.
I do appreciate Ms. Gilbertts letter of February
12, However, it was received well after your first
meeting, and just two days before what is planned as
the last hearing before the Board is to take action.
Two days is virtually no time to act in the best of
circumstances. It is absolutely no time when those to
be directly affected do not live in the area during
the winter and are, unable to attend a meeting on such
short notice.
Second, additional time is necessary to give your
proposed ordinance adequate attention. As proposed,
I believe that the ordinance may be unnecessarily
broad; is not supported by accurate data; and will
work a great hardship on a number or property owners.

Fallen Leaf presents a unique situation. There
is one major producer of wastewater at the Lake, and
that is stanford Camp. As a Fallen Leaf property
owner, I can assure the Board that the level of
activity at stanford Camp has increased significantly
since the 1977 standards were established, a decade
and one half ago. It now operates for a longer season
with a large number of guests. stanford is always at
full capacity during the season, and it accommodates
some 250-270 quests plus 70-75 staff for a total of
325-345. It has approximately 100 toilets, only four
of which are low-flow. At a rate of consumption of 45
gallons per capita per day, Stanford will produce
14,400 gallons of wastewater a day, with a population
of only 320 people. It is reasonable to assume that
stanford's guests are less conscious of the need to
limit flow than are local residents. The result may
well be that guests exceed the 45 gallon per day rate.
Compared to this rather heavy daily use, most
individual property owners do not use their cabins at
all during the winter, and only for sporadic and
temporary periods during the balance of the year.
The Board's objective is to reduce the level of
wastewater flows from Fallen Leaf Lake to an
acceptable level. There is no opposition to this goal
at Fallen Leaf. However, it may not be necessary to
force conversion of all of Fallen Leaf to low flow.
The conversion of only Stanford Camp may well be
sufficient to reduce the flow to the desired level.
If this action should prove inadequate to meet the
goal, then the balance of property owners will
convert.
This alternative should be given consideration.
Most of the cabins at Fallen Leaf Lake were
constructed forty to seventy years ago. Many of these
cabins have their original plumbing fixtures. These
fixtures cannot be fitted with low flow devices and
this would necessitate replacement of all of the
plumbing fixtures in these cabins. This would be a
financial hardship and would also remove much of the
"old timey" atmosphere of these homes.
Finally, I question that the Board has adequate
information upon whi.ch to make its determination.
Judging by the statements of Mr. onysko which were
contained in the newspape~.4rticle, the statistics
_ FEB-19-'92 WED 16:36 ID:PETER THIERIOT/CPC TEL NO:415/512-8269
l:I~'51 P03
generated by the flow meters are not generally
recognized as accurate. In addition, the math
contained in the draft ordinance appears to be wrong.
The draft of findings indicates that the per
capita flow rate is to be 45 gallons per person per
day. Further, II . . . a peak occupancy of 1, 277
population was factored, resulting in a peak flow of
59,770 gallons per day. . ." However, unless I am
wrong, 45 x 1,277 - 57,465, not 59,770 as the draft
ordinance indicates. I realize that this may only be
a simple mistake in math, but it suggests that a
prudent person would wish to re-examine the figures
upon which the Boardts decision will be made.
In sum, I petition the Board to examine first
Stanford's wastewater flow rather than mandate low-
flow fixtures for the entire Lake, i.e. for the
occasional visitors at individual cabins. If the
Board would like to hear the response of the Fallen
Leaf community to its proposal, I suggest that
adequate time be provided for reply and adequate time
for attendance at Board meetings. Until then I
petition the Board to postpone action of Ordinance No.
440.

Dear Ms. Gilbert:
I received your letter regarding the proposed draft ordinance
yest.erday and will not be able to attend the second public
hearing on February 20.
I understand and approve of the need to reduce sewer outflow from
the Fallen Lake region.
I feel your proposed solution is unfair as it intends to be
applied to all users, however.
Our cabin is one of four on the most remote spur of the existing
sewer system. We have one bedroom, one bath, no dishwasher, no
washing machine. Our cabin cannot accommodate many people at any
oue time. The cabin is in use perhaps 30 days each year. We
were not even there during the high peak flow times of early July
1~91 that you de~cribe.
Our water use was so low that prior to being required to join the
sewer system, we got by with simply an outhouse "pit toilet".
I would hope that you would grant an exemption to small cabins
with inf~equent occupancy who can demonstrate that they do not
signIficantly contribute to the total sewage volume.
Sincerely, ...

Dear Fallen Leaf Lake Homeowners:
Last week the District's Board of Directors held a public hearing in
consideration of draft Ordinance No. 440, An Ordinahce of the South
Tahoe Public utilitv District to Provide for the Installation of Low
Water Use plumbinq fixtures at Fallen Leaf Lake. The Ordinance was
initiated to reduce the wastewater flows from Fallen Leaf Lake. The
average peak wastewater loadings generated from Fallen Leaf Lake
(77,000 gallons per day) are well above the design criteria flow
projections made in 1977 (60,000 gpd). Those projections became the
established limits for the Fallen Leaf Lake wastewater flows.
The enclosed draft ordinance requires property owners to retrofit
plumbing fixtures with ultra low-flow fixtures by June 30, 1992 in order
to facilitate a solution to the overloading problem. We are hopeful
that through a cooperative effort between the District and the Fallen
Leaf property owners we can greatly reduce the wastewater flows.
Please review the draft ordinance. Your comments are welcome, either in
writing or in person at the second public hearing February 20, 1992.
The public hearing on the ordinance will be held during the District's
regularly scheduled Board meeting at 5:00 p.m. at the city council
Chambers, 1900 Lake Tahoe Blvd. (corner Tata Lane). The Board may take
action to enact the ordinance following the public hearing.
Here's the good news! I am also enclosing a letter describing our
current ULTRA LOW-FLOW REBATE PROGRAM, a rebate application, list of
recommended fixtures and a "lucky buck." The District will pay
commercial and residential property owners $75 for every ultra low-flow
toilet that is installed between now and June 30, 1992. In addition,
South Tahoe Refuse has agreed to dispose of the old toilets for only $1
each. The District's rebate program will take the sting out of your
retrofit costs.
If I can be of further assistance, just call (916) 544-6474, Ext. 208.
Sinserely,

ORDINANCE NO. 440
AN ORDINANCE OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
TO PROVIDE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF
LOW WATER USE PLUMBING FIXTURES
AT FALLEN LEAF LAKE
BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Directors of the SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC
UTILITY DISTRICT, County of El Dorado, as follows:
SECTION I. - FINDINGS
A. The existing Fallen Leaf Lake sewer collection system design
is based on estimates made in 1977 of occupancy loads and from field
observations. The estimated per capita flow rate of 45 gallons per
capita per day was established and a peak occupancy of 1,277 population
at Fallen Leaf Lake was factored, resulting in a peak flow of 59,770
gallons per day being fixed as the project flow design criteria. The
project flows can be broken down as follows:
Stanford Camp
Permittees
U.S. Forest Service
Fallen Leaf Lake Associates
Private Propoerty Owners
Frederick's Property
14,400
7,160
2,000
12,600
23,310
300
B. The sewer collection system at Fallen Leaf Lake was, based on
the 1977 design studies, restricted to a maximum average discharge of
60,000 gallons per day.
C. The limit of the Fallen Leaf Lake sewer collection system of
60,000 gallons per day was also imposed by the Tahoe Regional Planning
Agency in the SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT'S ("District" herein)
0.2 expansion program.
D. The District is responsible for enforcing the 60,000 gallons
per day discharge limitation for the sewage collection system at Fallen
Leaf Lake.
E. Measurement of existing wastewater flows establish peak flows
in excess of 60,000 gallons per day. A reserve flow of 12,600 gallons
per day for future use by Fallen Leaf Lake Associates is not included.
F. Reducing sewage influent by water conservation will help
reduce the collection system loading below 60,000 gallons per day. The
specific rules, regulations and restrictions established herein are
necessary and appropriate to the accomplishment of that end.
Additional measures may need to be taken to reduce flows below 60,000
gallons per day. Additional measures may include, but are not limited

ATTENTION Property Owners:
Thank you for your interest in replacing your existing toilet with an
efficient, ultra low-flow fixture. The utility District encourages you
to take advantage of our REBATE program now! Here's how it works:
.
. District customers replace ("retrofit") their existing toilet(s)
with ultra low-flow fixtures. The new toilet(s) shall use no more
than 1.6 gallons per flush. The brand of toilet shall be at the
discretion of the property owner, however we recommend you consider
one of the models listed on the attached sheet. The method of
installation, whether by a professional contractor, handyman, or
property owner, shall be determined by the property owner.
. When the retrofit is complete, the property owner will complete a
simple Toilet Rebate Application. This can be accomplished by mail
or in person at the District's Customer Service Office, 1275 Meadow
Crest Drive, South Lake Tahoe.
. A District Inspector will inspect the retrofit at the residence or
business.
. The utility District will process a $75 per toilet rebate check to
defray the cost of the water conserving toilet and its
installation. The property owner can expect his/her check within
four weeks of inspection.
. The South Tahoe Refuse Company will dispose of your old toilet for
$1. simply use the "lucky buck" attached!
Attached you will find a Toilet Rebate Application for your use. If you
have already retrofitted your toilet fixtures, simply fill out the form
and send/bring it to the District so we can schedule an inspection. The
utility District has funded $50,000 for this program for the budget year
beginning July 1, 1991. The rebates will be handled on a first-come,
first-served basis, while funding lasts.
Thank you for your interest in this worthwhile program. Together we can
reduce the amount of this precious resource, WATER, getting flushed down
the drain.
Sincerely,
