DISTRICT MANAGERS’ REPORTS

Interim General Manager Ken Nelsen:

• The Regional Board contacted the District last week regarding information about stoppages and the work the District is doing to try to prevent stoppages and overflows from District’s sanitation system. There have been five incidents since April 2007. While the Regional Board expressed concern about the number of incidents, they commented that the quantity (amount of spills) and reporting is exemplary. District staff is stopping overflows as quickly as possible. Most spills are less than 500 gallons. Only one spill was 1,000 gallons. District sent letter to Regional Board outlining District actions; projects; Fats, Oils & Grease program; and maintenance schedule. District expects a response from the Regional Board within 2 weeks.
  
• Through the end of August the District received 502 acre feet of State Water Project water through CLAWA, produced more than 115 acre feet of ground water and transferred 134 acre feet of lake water to Grass Valley for irrigation. The lake’s elevation at the end of the summer season was just over 5,100 feet elevation. It is currently at 5099.95. The Burnt Mill tank should be ready to fill with CLAWA water at end of September.

Maintenance Manager Bob Ardis:

• Following up on the Regional Board topic, the District’s stoppage ratio has dropped significantly over last five years with the 20-year average at 54 per year. Last year was lowest ever at 28 stoppages. Currently, with drought conditions, the District is anticipating a total of 34 stoppages by the end of the year. The increase from last year is what concerned the Regional Board.
  
• The District must be in full compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board’s SSMP soon. The District submitted a letter of intent to comply with all guidelines and restrictions as well as completed the required questionnaire. The District is now required to electronically submit all blockages through State office. Next phase will be submitting: 1) a detailed organization chart along with contact information; 2) District goals; and 3) District management plan. Those items will be approved by board prior to submittal, which is required by November 2007.
  
• A new water main in Terrace Road has been completed. Service lines are to be installed next. Replacing the water main in Hillside Road began today with the goal to complete it by October 19, 2007.

District Engineer Ryan Gross:

• The next IWRP meeting will be held on Friday, September 14. The preferred alternatives will be presented to the Board of Directors on September 25.
  
• State Revolving Fund preliminary funding commitment for just under $10 million and approval of final plans and specifications is expected by early October, which will allow the District to go to bid on the project. Additional funding commitment is expected in 2008.
  
• The Groundwater Phase II project is currently in the environmental review stage for next five well sites. It is expected to go out to bid in November 2007 for up to seven well sites pending agreements with Lake Arrowhead Country Club and Arrowhead Lake Association.
