GAGAS farther requires us to perform tests oE the llistrict's compl.iancc with laurs, regulations, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements, in which noncompliance could have a ciirect and material effect on d�e determination of financial statement amounts. Ifo�vc�er, a financial staternent auciit is nat designed to provide assurance on compliance or internal control o�rer financial reporting or to idenrify imma�erial instances of noncompliance or internal control deficiencies. �X'hen conducting an audit, the auditor is required to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements axe free from material misstatcment, whether due to Eraud or error, to enable the auditor to express an opinion on �vhether the financial statcincnts are presented fairl}�, in all material respects, in accordance �vidi accounting principles generally accepted in the L'nited States of America.

Cotuila, Assistant General Manager MEETING DATE: April 2, 2015 ITEM- PROJECT NAME: United States Forest Service (USFS) Master Water Special Use Permit REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Authorize execution of the USFS Master Water Special Use Permit (SUP) for a term of 30 years, and sign the permit pending minor changes made during staff review; and, (2) Authorize payment of the yearly rental and permit fee in the amount of$2,669.56. DISCUSSION: The District's SUP for water facilities on Forest Service land expired a number of years ago. The District began the SUP process for the water and sewer systems in March, 2010. The SUP for the sewer facilities was completed and approved by the Board in September, 2012, and the SUP for water facilities has been prepared. The USFS has reviewed the District water facilities which reside on their parcels and has developed a permit which includes all of the forest service specialist reviews, maps of the facilities on forest service properties, an Operation and Maintenance Plan, and general guidelines for completing work under the permit.This permit will combine all the water facilities into a single permit and there will only be a single charge for maintaining the permit. The permit will not expire until 2045, but the District will be required to pay the yearly fee as well as participate in a yearly planning meeting (which will develop the work required of the District in the coming year). It is likely the yearly fee will increase each year. The 2015 fee has been calculated as $2,669.56.

This agreement may be terminated by either party upon at least 60 days prior written notice, except that such termination shall in no way affect or change any commitment made authorizing the use of roads or rights-of-way for purposes for which Federal funds were expended, or any operation in progress at time of notice, and provided that such termination shall in no way affect the agreement of the parties hereto with respect to any obligations incurred under the agreement until a full settlement has been made. 7. Miscellaneous. A. It is understood that any default by a permittee or other authorized road user creates no liability on the part of the Forest Service. B. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to obligate the Forest Service or STPUD beyond the extent of available funds allocated or programmed for any work, or contrary to applicable laws, rules and regulations. C. Where applicable, any contract, agreement,or understanding entered into pursuant to this agreement providing for work to be performed shall include the requirements of Federal laws, Executive orders, and Regulations. 8. South Tahoe Public Utilitv District agrees to: A. Repair all road surfaces damaged by their operations or replace gates, barriers, signs, or other Forest Service property damaged by their operations. B. Walk into sensitive areas to check for problems. Vehicle access may occur for emergency purposes only, such as cleaning out large debris or repairing lines. C. Maintain roads they have responsibility for,as stated in Exhibit C and this plan. Maintenance of roads shall be focused on resource protection, including preserving all drainage structures, barriers, gates, and road characteristics such as cross sections and existing surface types. Control of surface erosion and enhancement of water quality are primary concerns. D. Coordinate the use and maintenance of nonsystem/decommissioned roads with the Forest Service. When no longer using these, decompact, stabilize(mulch), and camouflage the area with approved materials. When these roads are still needed, camouflage the area with approved materials and install and maintain natural barriers where needed to restrict public vehicular access. E. Install Forest Service approved gates on roads that are only used for STPUD improvements; doing this will create less damage from use by the general public. These gates will be installed on an as-needed basis and shall be discussed at the annual meeting provided for in item D5. STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 13 -51- F. Install and maintain their own locking system on gated roads listed in Exhibit C, being careful not to damage, remove or lock out Forest Service or other locking systems. Return all Forest Service keys issued to STPUD employees to the Supervisor's Office. G. Notify the LTBMU Hazardous Materials Coordinator as soon as possible when spills or other hazardous events occur. H. Notify the LTBMU Lands Department as soon as possible when emergency responses occur. I. Implement temporary construction Best Management Practices(BMPs)and runoff control measures on construction,maintenance, or emergency repair sites with the objective of preventing the discharge of degraded runoff water on all ground disturbing activities. 9. Forest Service a re� es to: A. Maintain roads that they have responsibility for, as stated in Exhibit C and this plan. B. Cooperate with STPUD on emergency water system repair work and subsequent access road repair. C.

STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 14 -52- SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC LJTILITY DISTRICT(STPUD) WATER MASTER SPECIAL USE PERMIT ELD400821 EXHIBIT F RESOURCE PROTECTION GUIDELINES These guidelines specify the various measures to be taken by South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) to protect,restore, or enhance National Forest natural resources and prevent erosion damage during installation and maintenance of water system improvements. Landscapin Ve eg tation 1. Vegetation removal shall be performed only when necessary and in a manner that maximizes preservation of natural beauty, conservation of natural resources, and prevents marring and scarring of the landscape or silting of streams. 2. Vegetation removal shall be limited to that material which poses an immediate hazard to the water system improvements, is required by law to be removed, or is required for the construction and maintenance thereof. The Forest Service must approve all clearing in - writing in advance. Reference Exhibit C for water improvement ingress and egress. 3. The use of"brush blades" instead of dirt blades on bulldozers is recommended in clearing operations where such use will preserve the cover crop of grass, low growing brush, etc. 4. Soil that has been excavated during construction and not used shall be evenly backfilled onto the cleared area, or removed from site, at the discretion of the Forest Service. If soil is to remain, it shall be graded to conform to the terrain and the adjacent land. Soil would not be placed or left in the watercourse or wetland areas or left in a manner that it could access the watercourse or wetland or impede overland flow. 5. Bare soil will be stabilized with invasive species free mulch. 6. Replacement of earth adjacent to water crossings for access roads should be at slopes less than the normal angle of repose for the soil type involved. Seeding and mulching should be accomplished without undue delay. 7. Trees, shrubs, grasses, natural features and topsoil that are not removed will be protected from damage during construction. 8. All trenches for buried water improvements will be backfilled and compacted, and slightly crowned to provide for drainage. STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 15 -53- Erosion Control Erosion control and prevention of sediment transport will be implemented in accordance with UDSA, Water Quality Management for Forest System Lands in California-Best Management Practices,or any supplements thereafter. The Forest Hydrologist or Soils Specialist may consider any or all of the erosion control measures outlined in the above referenced document as an appropriate and applicable requirement, on a site-specific basis. The following are examples of commonly implemented and minimal erosion control measures: 1. All proposed roads, trails, and trenches will be staked on the ground and approved by the Forest Service prior to construction. 2. Erosion problems attributed to the construction or maintenance of existing lines will be resolved as soon as possible and subsequent follow-up action initiated as needed to prevent or correct deterioration of the site. ' 3. Temporary roads and/or cleared right-of-way routes used for access will be decompacted, seeded, mulched, and barricaded immediately after they have served their intended purpose unless otherwise approved by the Forest Service. Water bars shall be installed on rights-of-way or temporary roads at appropriate intervals dependent on slope. 4. Cross drains and other erosion control devices will be constructed where necessary to prevent erosion along rights-of-way or temporary access routes. Cross drains will be constructed for every 20 feet change in elevation at an angle of approximately 20-30 degrees to the centerline and will extend to a minimum depth of 12 inches into mineral soil. 5. Areas of soil disturbance favorable to revegetation on which groundcover has been destroyed will be reveaetated to grass or other suitable vegetation when deemed necessary by the Forest Service. This determination will be made on an area or project basis. 6. When required, stabilization of"bare" soil by tilling and reseeding will be accomplished in accordance with all or a combination of the following procedures as specified by the Forest Service. a. Sequence of Treatment On each area to be reseeded, the site will be seeded, then the seed will be covered by raking or dragging and spreading mulch. b. Seeding Seeding will be done at a time of the year, in a manner, and with the species which the Forest Service considers offer the best chance of success. Seeding prescriptions (type of seed to be used and rate of application, etc.) will be prepared on a project basis with respect to and in consideration of site conditions. c. Mulching Seeded areas shall be uniformly covered with weed-free rice straw or other suitable mulch, spread at a rate of two tons per acre, or manufacturer's recommended rate. STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 16 -54- Biological Resources Biological resource design features are elements of the project applied in treatment areas. These features were developed based on Forest Plan direction and site-specific evaluations in order to reduce or avoid negative impacts of the project. Biological resource project design features associated with this project include the following: 1. Control invasive plants • An invasive plant prevention plan will be submitted by STPUD to the Forest Service every five years, with the operating plan. A USFS botanist or ecologist must approve the plan before work can be performed. • Clean all equipment that is to be used for water system improvement maintenance before they enter the National Forest and if they come from areas known to be infested with invasive-exotic plants. Ensure equipment is free of soil, seeds, vegetative material, or other debris that could contain or hold seeds of non-native invasive species. Equipment is considered clean when visual inspection does not reveal soil, seeds,plant material,or other such debris. • Ensure that all plant material used for erosion control and/or road maintenance is invasive plant free,use invasive plant"weed free"certified rice straw or other approved materials. Copies of invasive plant free certifications will be provided to the USFS • If gravel is needed for road repair or to prevent further road damage,utilize gravel from Forest Service approved gravel sources_ Gravel sources will be pre-inspected by the county agricultural inspector or a USFS botanist or ecologist for the presence/absence of invasive plants prior to utilization of gravel from those sources. If an inspector is not available STPUD will provide an invasive plant free certificate for the gravel • When working in areas known to harbor non-native invasive species, equipment shall be cleaned at a washing station before moving to other National Forest Service system lands. • Staging areas for equipment, materials, or crews will not be situated in areas infested by non-native invasive species. Areas containing non-native invasive species should be "flagged and avoided"before implementation. Contact the USFS invasive plants coordinator before project implementation so the area to be avoided can be flagged. GIS layers showing the locations of the work will be sent to the Forest Service in advance of s the work. � Minimize the amount of ground and vegetation disturbance in construction areas. Reestablish vegetation where feasible on disturbed bare ground to minimize non-native invasive species establishment and infestation. Revegetation is especially important in staging areas. • Utilize locally collected native seed sources when possible. Seed mixes must be approved by a USFS botanist or ecologist. Plant and seed material should be collected from or near the project area, from within the same watershed,and at a similar elevation when possible. • GIS layers showing the locations of the work will be sent to the Forest Service in advance of work. STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 17 -55- 2. Avoid or minimize impacts on threatened, endangered, Forest Service sensitive, or TRPA special-interest plant species. . For any inspection or maintenance activities of facilities along the Lake Tahoe shoreline, including beaches,back beaches,dunes, lagoons, and back lagoons, stream mouths, and edge of Lake Tahoe, the area will be surveyed prior to any activities by a professional botanist, and if Tahoe yellow cress is found, it will be flagged and avoided. This survey can be conducted just prior to visitation so that flagging will not need to remain on the landscape and attract the attention of the public. • If there are known threatened, endangered, or sensitive plant species or invasive plants present within 100 feet of water improvement maintenance activities then a USFS botanist or ecologist will need to be notified prior to implementation so that the plants can be flagged and avoided. • Sensitive plants and sensitive plant habitat will be protected by identification and avoidance. Known occurrences and appropriate buffers will be flagged so that direct and indirect impacts to those areas can be avoided. . When sensitive or watch list plant species occur within the road surface and cannot be avoided, maintenance activities may need to be planned when roads are dry and plants have completed the flowering stage. A consultation with a USFS botanist or ecologist would be required to agree on site access and timing. . In new project areas, sensitive plants surveys will be completed in advance of the project. 3. Ensure updated plant surveys are used. Plant surveys will be reviewed to protect sensitive species and to prevent the spread of invasive plants. If a current plant survey(controlled: within 5 years, cursory: within 2 years) is not available, a protocol-level threatened endangered, Forest Service sensitive, or TRPA special-interest plant species survey will be conducted. . Recommended in areas with known locations of sensitive species and where an action is proposed. • Recommended in areas where no surveys have been conducted. • The size of the area surveyed would follow the requirements specified in survey protocols. At times, the USFS may determine that protocol-level surveys are not necessary for a specific location if survey results are still valid from recently conducted protocol-level surveys. In areas that are not known to support sensitive species, general surveys are recommended before any proposed action. General surveys would include, at a minimum, a desktop(GIS) evaluation of habitat as well as a reconnaissance-level survey of the habitat quality. Surveys can be conducted by the USFS or a contractor hired by STPUD. If a contractor is hired, all work will be reviewed by the USFS. 4. Avoid or minimize impacts to federally threatened or endangered, LTBMU sensitive, or TRPA special interest wildlife species. Any detection of federally threatened or endangered, LTBMU sensitive, or TRPA special interest wildlife species or of nests, dens, roost sites, or other areas of concentrated use(e.g., perch or plucking post)by these species, before or during maintenance activities, within or STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 18 -56- from the project area, will be reported to a USFS wildlife biologist and protected as directed in the Forest Plan. 5. Protocol-level wildlife surveys. Recommended in areas with known locations of sensitive species and where action is proposed. The size of the area surveyed would follow the requirements specified in survey protocols. At times,the USFS may determine that protocol-level surveys are not necessary for a specific location if surveys results are still valid from recently conducted protocol-level surveys. In areas that are not known to support sensitive species, general surveys are recommended before any proposed action. General surveys would include, at a minimum, a desktop(GIS evaluation of habitat(i.e., California Wildlife Habitat Relationship data) as well as a reconnaissance-level survey of the habitat quality. Surveys can be conducted by the USFS or a contractor hired by STPUD. If a contractor is hired, all work will be reviewed by the USFS. • GIS layers showing the locations of the work will be sent to the Forest Service in advance of work. • Surveys within a 50-foot corridor defined as being 25 feet from the centerline of the water main can be conducted by the Forest Service or a contractor hired by STPUD. If the Forest Service conducts surveys,cost recovery fees may apply. 6. Implement limited operating periods. To avoid or minunize disturbance to breeding activities and suitable habitat of species, limited operating periods(LOPs) will be implemented around nests,dens, roost sites,and other areas of concentrated use(e.g., Protected Activity Centers)by these species as directed in the Forest Plan. LOPs limit the type, spatial extent, and timing of project activities permitted. Limitations to the types of project work that may be conducted during a LOP and the spatial extent of the LOP are to be determined by a USFS wildlife biologist and are rypically based upon the potential of the activity to disturb relevant federally threatened or endangered, LTBMiJ sensitive, or TR.PA special interest species. 7. Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. Coordinate annually with a USFS fisheries biologist to review the Annual Maintenance Plan. The fisheries biologist may need to be on site during implementation, as determined through annual coordination, and/or provide additional site-specific design features to avoid direct or indirect impacts to threatened Lahontan cutthroat trout(LCT)or Sierra Nevada yellow- legged frog or implement elements (e.g. large woods debris in pools)of their habitats. Site- specific environmental site assessment consultation for LCT may be needed if impacts to LCT cannot be avoided. 8. STPUD Coordination. STPUD will coordinate with a USFS wildlife biologist at 530-543-2600 for any questions regarding sensitive wildlife species, including but not limited to survey needs and LOPs, identification of sensitive species,and reporting of any dead or injured wildlife species and their location.

STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 20 -58- SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT(STPUD) WATER MASTER SPECIAL USE PERMIT ELD400821 EXHIBIT F TREE/SLASH REMOVAL AND PRUNING GUIDELINES STPUD will conduct operations in a manner to protect the National Forest System lands and resources near the water system improvements as well as ensure the safety of the water system improvements. These guidelines address activities having to do with vegetation management, including the impact of such management on public safety and recreation and scenic enjoyment of the National Forest, and protecting the natural watershed conditions in the water line corridors while providing for the continued and safe use of the subject corridors by STPUD. Areas of special concern are the protection and avoidance of fragile areas (such as marshes, sh-eam zones, etc.)when accessing the area, falling, skidding,decking,hauling timber, and cleaning up slash. STPUD will notify the Forest Service of planned vegetation treatments, no later than November of the year prior to the planned activities. The vegetation plan will specify the area where tree pruning, tree cutting, or vegetation removal is to be done, the trees that will be removed or pruned,and the method of disposal of trees and slash resulting from the water line clearing. The Forest Service will review proposed work and issue a notice to proceed once the review is completed. No vegetation management work may proceed(except in emergency cases)until a notice to proceed is issued to STPUD by the Forest Service. The Forest Service will also review completed work to assure the management objective of both parties were met. All vegetation management activities of STPUD and its subcontractors will be carried out in a manner that does not interfere with natural hydrologic processes or increase fire hazard. STPUD will specify what types of equipment will be utilized,and mirigation measures. This is particularly critical where streams and other areas of critical concern are encountered such as marshes and meadows. It is essential to realize that motorized vehicle access is not necessary in all areas. If helicopters are proposed to be used during vegetation management, a safety plan will be submitted to the Forest Service, and approved before implementation commences. General Guidelines for Vegetation Management Activities: • All activities involving tree trimming or tree removal, clearing and slash disposal on National Forest will be coordinated between STPUD, subcontractors, and the Forest Service. • All activities involving tree trimming or vegetation removal will comply with the Fire Prevention Guidelines(Exhibit H). • Trees proposed for trimming,pruning or topping should maintain at least 30% live crown or be considered for removal when less than 30% live crown cannot be retained. STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 21 -59- • All trees to be cut will be marked and cruised by the Forest Service prior to cutting. In the event that the Forest Service disagrees with the need to remove an individual tree, STPUD will be notified,the tree will not be marked for removal, and other options such as topping or pruning may be agreed upon. • Stumps of green trees larger than 12"dbh(diameter at breast height)will be treated with : sporax and dye within four hours of cutting to prevent the spread of Fornes Anosus root rot disease. A Forest Service or STPUD certified pesticide applicator must be present when sporax is applied. • All trees cut by STPUD shall have a maximum stump height of 6"on the high side of the stump or 4"above an obstacle. • Timber may be disposed of in the following ways: 1. Merchantable timber may be sold to STPUD at the prevailing minimum stumpage rate as determined by a Standard Rate Appraisal. The Forest Service will issue a separate permit for cutting and removing merchantable trees. A permit must be issued prior to the Notice to Proceed. 2. Merchantable timber may be retained and disposed of by the Forest Service in a method and place mutually agreeable by STPUD and the Forest Service. Locations for decking of inerchantable timber and resource protection measures for skidding, forwarding and processing will be agreed upon prior to issuance of a Notice to Proceed. • Treatment of Cut Material and Activity Fuels 1. All cut material will be treated by STPUD in a manner that is acceptable to the Forest Service. It is preferable for all cut merchantable material to be either removed from National Forest by STPUD under permit or to be made accessible ` for disposal by the Forest Service. In areas where slope, limited access or other environmental conditions prevent removal of inerchantable material, cut material may be left as downed logs if agreed upon in advance. In areas where access prevents removal of cut material, STPUD should avoid, to the extent possible, cutting green merchantable trees and should instead prune or top whenever feasible. 2. All non-merchantable material will be treated by STPUD in a manner acceptable to the Forest Service The Forest Service standard for acceptable fuel loading is < 10 tons per acre, except for in stream environment zones(SEZs) and wildlife protected activity centers (PACs), where the acceptable fuel loading is 15 tons per acre. Acceptable treahnents for non-merchantable materials are: A. Chip and/or remove. This is the preferred method for treatment of non- merchantable materials whenever access allows. Where chip materials remain on site, chip depth must be<4"and be evenly dispersed across the forest floor. No chip material will be permitted within SEZs. STPUD water master permit exhibits Page 22 -60- B. Lop and Scatter. Lop and scatter of non-merchantable materials will only be p�rmitted in areas where activity fuels are lightly distributed across the landscape and where retention of activity fuels does not exceed tons per acre standards for acceptable fuel loading. When lop and scatter is permitted, all material less than 10"diameter and greater than 3 feet in length must be lopped and scattered, treated slash depth will not exceed 8". Where feasible,within the immediate foreground(up to 150 ft.) of highly visible areas (i.e. residential areas, major roadways, recreational improvements and trails), remove excess slash.
