Box 309 Truckee, Ca 95734 WAIVER OF WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS FOR TAHOE-DONNER SUBDIVISION WATER MAIM REPLACEMENT PROJECT, TRUCKEE, NEVADA COUNTY Dear Mr. Holzmeister: On May 9, 1991 , we received a complete Report of Waste Discharge for the above-referenced project. We have reviewed the Report of Waste Discharge and have determined that a waiver of waste discharge requirements is not against the public interest. Project Description Truckee-Donner Public Utility District (TDPUD) proposes to replace approximately 20 percent of the existing water mains in the Tahoe Donner Subdivision. The water mains are being replaced because of severe leakage that was caused by poor construction and backfilling techniques during the original construction. The project consists of replacing approximately 72,000 linear feet of pipeline with 4, 6, 8 and 10-inch ductile iron pipe. Service laterals and new fire hydrants shall also be installed. The new water mains will be placed approximately 8 feet from the existing water mains and all work will be done within the street and shoulder areas. The existing water mains will be abandoned in place, and when appropriate, existing valve boxes will be removed, filled in, and paved over to prevent use of the existing mains. The project will be done under three separate contracts. The approximate amount of replacement pipe and construction time for each 'contract is as follows: Contract Amount of _Pipe Construction Time A 28,060 feet 120 working days S 37,420 feet 150 working days C 6,160 feet 75 working days A list of streets and pipe sizes that are involved in each contract is attached to this waiver. Mr. Peter Holzmeister -2- CE• A Com liance TDPUD has determined that this project is categorically exem t from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQApj pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Conditions This waiver is conditioned upon the following: 1. The project shall be constructed in accordance with: (a) the project plans and other information submitted to this office, and (b) the "Truckee River Hydrologic Unit Project Guidelines for Erosion Control' (attached). 2. TDPUD shall notify the Regional Board when construction begins and is completed, so Regional Board staff can inspect the project site. 3. TDPUD shall be responsible for informing any contractors of the conditions specified in this waiver and verifying compliance with these conditions. 4. TDPUD shall permit the Regional Board staff: • a. to enter the project site; b. to access and to copy any records required to be kept under terns and conditions of this waiver; c. to inspect monitoring equipment or records; and d. to sample any discharge. Waiver Authorit Regional Board Resolution No. 6-88-18 waives waste discharge requirements where, in the opinion of the Executive officer, waste discharge requirements are not necessary for erosion from construction and for inert solid wastes which include earth, rock and concrete. Waiver Granted In accordance with Section 13269 of the California Water Code, waste discharge requirements for your project are waived. This waiver will be revoked and enforcement action taken upon violation of any of the above conditions or creation of a water quality problem or nuisance. This waiver shall expire October 15, 1992.

I. Surplus or waste material should not be placed in drainage ways or within the 140 year flood plain of any su rface water. 2. All loose piles of soil , silt, clay, sand, debris, or other earthen materials should be protected in a reasonable manner to prevent the discharge of these materials to waters of the State. 3. After completion of a construction project, all surplus or waste earthen materials should be removed from the site and deposited in an approved disposal location or stabilized onsite. 4. Dewatering should be done in a manner so as to eliminate the discharge of earthen materials from the site. 5. All disturbed areas should be stabilized by appropriate soil stabilization measures by October 15th of each year. 6. All work performed between October 15th and May Ist of each year should be conducted in such a manner that the project can be winterized (all soils stabilized to prevent runoff) within 48 hours if necessary. 7. Existing drainage patterns shall not be modified. 8. Where the Regional Board exempts projects within the 100-year floodplai disturbances in drainage ways from construction activities should be stabilized by appropriate soil stabilization measures to prevent erosion. 9. All non-construction areas should be protected by fencing or other means to prevent unnecessary disturbance. 10, During construction, temporary gravel , hay bale, earthen, or sand bag dikes and/or nonwoven filter fabric fence should be used as necessary to prevent discharge of earthen materials from the site during periods of precipitation or runoff. 11. Impervious surfaces should be constructed with measures to treat stormwater runoff. 12. Revegetated areas should be continually maintained in order to assure adequate growth and root development. Erosion control facilities should be installed with a routine maintenance and inspection program to provide continued integrity of erosion control facilities.

II . Full Description.n of Project: Adoption of a Master Plan for the District' s Water System. The Master Plan will serve as a planning tool to assist the istr° ct in t I ) identifying existing defIciencies and budgeting for correction of such deficiencies , ( 2 ) anticipating areas where growth is likely to occur, consistent with the Nevada county General Plan , and identify system improvements necessary to serve such growth , and ( analyzing theDistrict' s current fac! iities. fees and setting future facilities fees. Adoption of the Master Plan will not, in and of itself, constitute a decision to construct any of the 38 different potential improvements discussed i n the MasterPlan . o i nd�i v i dual potential i rip r ovement will be constructed without a separate decision by the District Board of Directors. Prior to any such decision, AA compliance i11 occur . Some of the potential improvements may never be constructed , because the assumptions upon hi:,h their construction is based maybe incorrect. For instance , the growth anticipated by the Nevada C—ounty General Plan may not occur . Finally , although the Master sari will assist in setting future facilities fees , no facility fee increases will occur without separate CEQA compliance. The octential improvements are discussed in considerable detail in the graft, Master Plan dated October , 1990, and are also 'listed below. oter:tial improvements include construction f 1 .

Elevation ranges from roughly 5800 feet above sea level in the eastern portion of the District, which contains the broad , open , fairly level ar t i s Valley , to g. over 7 , 500 feet along thewestern edgeo the District, hii n extends almost to the crest of the Sierra Nevada. Slopes vary from level on the valley floor to extremely steep ( nearly vertical in some spots in the mountainous areas in the west Conifers such as pine and f i r are common and plentiful , as are sage brush and other shrubs. The amount of grass land is only modest due to thin , volcanic soils and heat dry seers. Donner Lake , a glacial lake about, three miles in length and approximately one half mile in width , is located within the District near its western ends The Truckee River flows Into the District from the south and then turns eastward , passing through the northern edge of the Martis Valley as it drains towards Nevada. interstate 80 passes through Truckee , and serves as the a-ior transportation link to the past and west. major railway parallels the freeway . State highways, two t the south and one to the north . are also major roadways . `ahoe and Paiute Indians v; sited the Truckee area in the summertime . Early -Immigrants passed through the area, Parts of the Danner Warty camped at the east end of Donner fake and also along Alder Creek north of Truckee . Many of these historical sites have been preserved as parks or monuments and are under �-,ontrol of the federal or state governments . in the past, the economy of the area was supported mainly by the railroad and timber industries, and now recreational interests play a major role. Commercial , industrial and institutional developments are concentrated aionq the railroad/freeway corridor , while residential subdivisions are dispersed throughout, the District. The population is a mix of full-time local residents, second home owners and t ur7stse Some of the improvements identified by the Masterplan wi l l iely be located at existing District facilities, which are typically small parcels within currently developed areas , These sites, and these areas in general , due to previous development, have been disturbed , graded and built on , and modification or expansion of such District. faci 1 i ties wi = l not a? ter the character or resources of these sites Other improvements will likely be located at currently undeveloped sites® Again , the sites will typically be small and the alteration of the site will be limited to grading to construct a level pad for the new structure and construction of an access driveway if necessary . It is not possible to conduct a review of the settings of the proposed new sites at this time because the determination that the projects wi 1 l be constructed has not yet been made and the exact site for any particular project has not yet been selected® Thorough descriptions will be prepared as part of the environmental review for each project when and if the project is undertaken .

New pipeline con truction will Involve excavation and backfill of trenches. Any such ar'hwork would involve only a small , well-defined area, and would not represent a i gn i f;cant effect. i®d, construction of new facilities such: as tanks will involve leveling of sloped areas to create stable sites for foundations. Again, such leveling would involve only a small , , well-defined area. 1 -e . Modification or destruction of unique geologic or physical features could possibly occur , although the District s not aware of any such features in close proximity to potential facility sites . It is impossible to determine if such events will occur at this time since exact construction sites have not yet been identified . ac i l i t i es will be sited in order to avoid disruption of any such features ®a. During painting of any new structures , paint fumes could be emitted from the project site. Such em i ss i cn will be of a i; nor and temporary nature. -d . See ®a. 3-ee New tanks will contain overflow piping that discharge into local surface drainages . Any discharge would occur only on a sporadic , temporary basis and w i 11 be potable water" that meets drinking water standards . 3 -ge New or expanded we is wi l 1 withdraw groundwater from aquifers , Such withdrawals could alter the existing direction or rate of flow of groundwater in the aquifer near the well site . ydrogeologic data indicates that the water bearing soil layers are deep , very thick . and have considerable goal extent and that water is plentiful . The influence of the wells will be confined to a relatively small locality near the wells and will not alter flows globally throughout the aquifer. 3_h 4 New or expanded wells will withdraw water directly from the aquifer. Even at total development of all proposed new or expanded sources , total yearly withdrawals will be less than; half the estimated annual average net recharge of the groundwater basin , so it is unlikely that this project will decrease the quantity of water in the aquifer . 03 Page Two Attachment A -d. Wildlife habitats could be affected by construction of new facilities in currently undeveloped sites . District facilities are generally small , and rarely occupy any more land than a single family residence, Any such disruption of habitat would be of a very minor nature. 6-a. During constructions , noise levels will increase due to the use of mechanical equipment such as excavators, trucks, cranes and small motorized devices. Such increased nose levels would exist for only a short permed , during actual construction . ®a. New or expanded facilities could increase energy and water arse. Most increases weld be only temporary , during constructlon . New or expanded ells car pumping stations would represent a permanent increase in the use of energy, although the additional energy consumed weld not be significant. 10 . New chlorination facilities will contain either gasecus or liquid solutions of chlorine, which could be released in the event of accident or upset. During construction, paint or related materials could also be released . Such risk if accident is no greater than commonly accepted by water utilities, and in fact is relatively slight. 11 ®am Water service could be extended to areas that currently are not served by a public water system. Provisions of water service in previously undeveloped areas would allow these areas to develop and weld alter the location , distribution, density or growth rate of that area. The District would extend water service to only those areas previously approved for development by the County General Plan and related planning agencies. 11-b. The ; asterplan identifies both current population and the population projected by the current Nevada County General Plant to occur over the next 2$0 years . The t asterp ah identifies alternative ways to provide adequate service to existing customers as well as how to provide adequate service "L-10 the population that is projected to exist in the 2010n The District would extend water service to only those areas previously approved Ifor development by the Nevada County Genera' Plan and related planning agencies 1 -c a The projects that could be undertaken wi 1 1 al 1 be water system improvement projects . Any such projects would be undertaken only to correct existing system deficiencies or to serve future development that is approved by the appropriate planning agencies. 21 Page Three - Attachment i7a Construction and use of new chlorination equipment could expose people t o potential health hazards related to accidental release of chlorine . Such risk of accident s nQ greater than common l y accepted by water uti ? i ties , and fact s relatively slight. 7 -as New facilities such as tanks or buildings could potentially obstruct views . District facilities are generally small and WOu 1 d not be 7 i ke 7 y to affect views to any greaser extent than a single-family home . Since the exact sites of the new facilities have not yet been identified , it is impossible to determine if scenic vies will be obstructed at this time. 18_c a Construction of new facilities will involve removal of trees on forested sites and wi11 alter the existing natural features y clearing and leveling the original site. District facilities are generally small , and any disruption of natural features would occur on a relatively sr a 1 i , wel !-defined area. Since the exact sues of the new facilities have not yet been identified, it is impassible to determine if any disru tFcn of natural features would occur at this time. 20 If the new construction sites contain significant archaeological , historical , paleontological or cultural resources, it is possible that alteration of these resources could occur . Facilities will he sited in order to avoid disruption of any such resources . The Distr . ct is not swam of any such resources in close rcx i mi ty to potential facilities sites , Since the exact sites of the new f aci l i t i es have not yet been identified , it is impossible to determine if such resources will be altered at this time .
