John List, owner of Flow Science gave an
oral and visual presentation of the surge
analysis of the B-Line. The surge analysis
indicated that an air cushioned surge tank
should be added to the B-Line to alleviate
problems that arise when power outages occur
and recommended the existing surge valves be
modified and a surge pressure tank be
installed.
EXPORT PIPELINE
SURGE ANALYSIS
Jack Burnam, John Carollo Engineers, gave
an oral and visual presentation outlining
the leak analysis of the export pipeline.
He emphasized the need to develop a schedule
by determining a priority list for the
replacement/rehabilitation of the export
pipeline. A financial analysis and required
lead times should be incorporated with the
priority list. A schedule to proceed could
then be developed as outlined in Attachment A.
The various pros and cons of the leak analysis
were discussed by the Board.

Manager Baer made the following recommen-
dations: 1) Come back as quickly as
possible with a contract and scope for the
design of the surge tank; 2) Develop scope
of work to extend the replacement section
through Meyers and the associated environ-
mental documentation. He further recommended
that a selection of a preferred route alter-
native (based on right-of-way that has the
most access) should be determined, along
with a timeline, so that Bartle Wells can
prepare a matrix of financial options;
3) Develop life expectancy for various
reaches of pipe in preparation for a fall
meeting with Lahontan.
The Board directed staff to implement the
recommendations noted above.

Richard Solbrig reviewed the schedule for EXPORT PIPELINE RELOCATION
certifying and permitting the EIR/EIS docu- EIR/EIS
ment. The EIR/EIS will be presented to the
TRPA APC Board on July 12, 1995, for certifi-
cation, and to the TRPA Governing Board on
July 26, 1995 for the permit. A proposal of a
preferred alternative should be determined at
the July 6, 1995 regular Board meeting so the
TRPA timeline can be met.
Solbrig summarized and gave a visual presenta-
tion of the differences between the route
alternatives. After review of all comments
and discussions from Lahontan and the League
to Save Lake Tahoe he recommended Route 4 be
selected because it would be the easiest route
to permit. This route would provide improved
access and it would reduce disturbances to
SEZ areas.
Rick Angelocci reviewed the TRPA two-part
certification and permit process.
