Maass Patricia S.Sutton August 5, 1991 MEMORANDUM To Board of Directors From: Peter L. Holzmeister, Gene al Manager Subject: Staff Report a) Bridge Street bridge replacement CalTrans is planning on rebuilding the bridge over the Truckee River in downtown Truckee next year. They have asked us if we want to have the new bridge accommodate a water pipe. Please read the attached memorandum from Keith Sauers regarding this issue. b) EP rule for lead and coRper, in drinkin water Attached is a notice from the American Water Works Association informing our District of recent action taken by USEPA regulating lead and copper in drinking water. our District should have no problem demonstrating that our water meets the EPA standards. However, the new regulation is unique in that it requires us to sample water at the consumer' s tap, not at our service entry to the property. For the first time we will be held responsible for the qualify of water after it has passed through the customer' s plumbing. If the customer's plumbing contains lead and copper that leaches into the water, we the water purveyor, will be required to treat the water to stop the leaching. We are now responsible for correcting problems caused by the customer on his side of the service. c) Financial reports Attached are the following financial reports for the month of June 1991: Investment Report, statement of General Fund, Electric and Water Balance Sheets, Electric and Water Income Statements. d) Letter from CalOsha A few meetings ago I reported to the Board that CalOsha had conducted a surprise inspection of our building. Attached is a letter indicating the matters they would like to see corrected. Compliance with items 1 and 2 will require the most effort. I have contacted Cal©sha' s consulting service for technical assistance. They will assign a staff person to help us and call me for an appointment in Truckee. Items 3 , 4, 5, 6 and 7 are relatively easy to comply with and can be handled by current staff. We will respond in writing to Cal©sha and let them know when we have corrected the deficiencies noted.

Holzmeister , General Manager FROM : Keith Knibb( DATE : July 31 , 1991 SUBJECT: Bridge Street Bridge Replacement CALTRANS is currently in the process of designing a replacement bridge for the Highway 267 crossing of the Truckee River at Bridge Street . The District water system includes a 6" pipeline attached to the existing bridge. CALTRANS contacted District staff regarding possible replacement of the pipeline as part of the construction of the new bridge . CALTRANS requested information including pipe sizes and materials so that if the District decided to have CALTRANS replace the pipeline , they could proceed with design and cost estimates . Sauers Engineering , Inc . provided preliminary design information for a pipeline replacement which consisted of a 24" steel carrier pipe and 18" ductile iron water pipe . CALTRANS is using this information in their bridge design in anticipation that the District will enter into an agreement for CALTRANS to do the replacement . CALTRANS has been made aware that the District is in no way committed to the pipeline replacement at this time and that any work done by CALTRANS prior to entering into an agreement with the District is at their own risk . A representative of CALTRANS has told . me that their preliminary cost estimate for the pipeline replacement, including design , materials and construction , is approximately $50 ,000 . CALTRANS will be sending out a letter regarding the preliminary cost estimate . Also, a representative of CALTRANS anticipates having a proposed agreement for the replacement to the District for review by September , 1991 . ,eiex: 45-0895 r'-OVVW'A`ID'VR ' Cable: WATERI NF© Fax: (303) 794-731,D RECD J IU L 2, 2 I9 911 American Water V;o, ks Ass©ciation € 6666 West Quincy Avenue Denver,CO 80^r35 I (3D^, 7S4.7711 1ES TO: 4 ' TO: AWWA Water Utility Personnel FROM: John B.Mannion,Executive Director DATE: June 24, 1991 Notice of Significant Regulatory Action The US Environmental Protection Agency published final regulations for lead and copper in drinking water on June 7,1991. At'vAVA has developed the enclosed materials to fill y ou in on the new rules. Enclosed you will find four items: 1. An outline explaining the new regulations. 2. Tables that make the regulations easier to understand. 3. A guide to help you assess the impact of the regulations on your utilit),including additional sources of information. 4. General information that will help you handle questions from your customers or the media. Monitoring requirements for lead and copper in tap water and source~eater,monitoring for additional water quality constituents,analytical methods,reporting requirements,and record keeping become effective July 7, 1991.Treatment technique requirements become effective December 7,1992. The final regulations will impact your utility and the drinking water community at large.As always,be prepared to answer questions from the media and public truthfully and as fully as possible. Help Is on the Way The new regulations for lead and copper are technically complex.This initial summary of the rule is only the beginning.AINrWA will be developing additional materials and is planning future programs to help systems understand and comply with the new rules. President: FREDERICK H. ELWELL, Boston, Massachusetts President-Elect: J. E SWARD SINGLEY, Ph.D., Gainesville, Florida Vice-President: FOSTER S. BURBA, Louisville, Kentucky im,-nediate Past-President: HAROLD E. SNIDER, Kansas City, Missouri Treasurer. A.E. BECHER.JR., Wa:tsau,Wisconsin Executive Director: JOHN B. MANNiON, Denver,Colorado USEPA Lead and. Copper ulations On June 7, 1991,the US Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA)published in the Federal Register final national primary drinking water regulations for lead and copper.The new rule replaces the existing interim maximum contaminant level(MCL)for lead with a treatment technique requirement. The total regulatory package includes: Maximum contaminant level goals(MCLGs)for lead and copper. Treatment technique requirements for lead that include: —optimal corrosion control treatment, source water treatment, —public education,and —lead service line replacement. Treatment technique requirements for copper that include: —optimal corrosion control treatment and —source water treatment. - Monitoring requirements for lead,copper,and other constituents. - Analytical methods and laboratory certification requirements. - Public notification requirements. System record keeping and reporting requirements. Variances and exemptions. - Compliance schedules based on system size. The following summarizes the final requirements: 1. MCLGs 1. Table 1 (all tables appear in part 2 of this alert) lists the MCLGs,action levels,health effects, and sources of lead and copper in drinking water. 2. MCLGs are nonenforceable health-based targets. 11. Tap Water Monitoring for Lead and Copper 1. Monitoring for lead and copper is required every six months.One monitoring period is equivalent to six months;two monitoring periods are required per calendar year,i.e.,January to June and July to December. 2. Starting dates for monitoring are: January 1992 Large systems(>50,000) July 1992 Medium-sized systems(>3,300 to 550,000) July 1993 Small systems(53,300) 3. Tap eater samples are required from the following high-risk locations: • homes with lead solder installed after 1982, homes with lead pipes,and - homes with lead service lines. S. Large systems are considered to have optimized corrosion control treatment if the difference between the source water monitoring for lead and the 90th percentile tap water monitoring for lead is Iess than 0.005 mg/L for two consecutive six-month monitoring periods. 9. States will assign values for a set of water quality limits that constitute optional corrosion control treatment,including • pH; • alkalinity; : • calcium,when carbonate stabilization is used; • orthophosphate,when an inhibitor with a phosphate compound is used;and • silica,when an inhibitor with a silicate compound is used. 10. Systems must operate within the water quality limits established by the State. V. Source Water Treatment 1. All public water systems that exceed the tap water lead or copper action level must collect source water samples and submit the data with a treatment recommendation to the State. 2, States may specify one of the following treatments or an alternative treatment at least as effective for the system to install: (1)ion exchange,(2)reverse osmosis,(3)lime softening, or(4)coagulation/filtration. 3. Systems will have 24 months to install source water treatment specified by the State and 12 months after treatment installation to collect follow-up source water samples. 4. States will review follow-up source water monitoring results and assign maximum permissible lead and copper concentrations in source water entering the distribution system. 5. Systems must provide to all entry points to the distribution system water that does not exceed the maximum permissible lead and copper concentrations established by the State. 6. Source water monitoring will be standardized to 3/6/9 year cycles after treatment is installed or the State determines that no treatment is necessary. VI. Public Education 1. All public water systems exceeding the lead action level must deliver the LSEPA-developed public education program to their customers within 60 days.See Table 6.The public education program must be continued as long as the system exceeds the lead action level. 2. The public education program informs the public about the adverse health effects of lead and explains the steps people can take in their homes to reduce their exposure to lead in drinking water (i.e.,flushing the tap,cooking with cold water rather than hot,checking for lead solder in new plumbing,and testing their water for lead). 3. Systems that do not meet the lead action level must offer to sample the tap water of any customer who requests it. Systems are not required to actually collect and analyze the sample or pay for sample collection or analysis.Sample collection and analysis may be at the customer's expense. VIi. Lead Service Line Replacement 1. All public water systems that continue to exceed the lead action level after installing optimal corrosion control treatment and source water treatment must replace lead service lines that contribute in excess of 0.015 mg/L to total tap water lead levels. 2. A system must replace 7 percent of its lead lines each year or demonstrate that the lines not replaced contribute less than 0.015 mg/L of lead to drinking water at the tap. 3. A lead service line sample is collected to determine the contribution of lead from the service line either by tapping directly into the service line,sampling at the tap after flushing the volume of water between the tap and the service line,or,in single-family residences,allowing the water to run until a significant change in temperature occurs indicative of water that has been standing in the sen=ice line. 4. A system must replace the entire lead service line unless it can demonstrate that it does not control the entire line.Water systems must offer to replace the owner's portion of the service line at the owner's expense. 5. A system that exceeds the lead action level after installing optimal corrosion control treatment and source water treatment has 15 years to replace all lead service lines,unless a shorter time 40 period is specified by the State. 4. Failure to meet action levels is not a violation and does not initiate public notification,but does initiate public education. 5. Failure to comply with testing procedures and monitoring requirements are Tier 2 violations. 6. Violations of reporting requirements do not require public notification. XI. Record Keeping and Reporting 1. Systems must retain original records of all sampling data and analyses,reports, surveys, letters,evaluations,schedules,State deterdnations, and any other information required rr by the rule for at least 12 years. 2. Separate reports are required for each of the following: • tap water monitoring for lead and copper,and other water quality monitoring; • source ivater monitoring; • corrosion control treatment; • source water treatment; • lead service line replacement;and • public education program. XII. Variances and Exemptions 1. Variances from treatment technique requirements may be granted if a system can demonstrate that it is lead-free. 2. Exemptions are allowed that extend deadlines for compliance if the water system is unable to comply because of compelling factors (including economic), the exemption will not cause an unreasonable risk to health,and no reasonable alternative source of drinking water is available. 3. Variances and exemptions will include a compliance schedule and State-specified requirements to ensure that an unreasonable risk to health does not exist. XIII. Compliance Schedule 1. Compliance schedules are based on system size.The schedules are summarized in Tables 10, 11,and 12. 2. Monitoring is the first requirement.Monitoring results determine additional actions by the system.

Cleaver, COso235 (303)79A-7711 American Water Works Association 1 6666 West Quincy Avenue I I Assessing the Impact of the Regulations The USEPA lead and copper regulations will affect every community and nontransient, noncommunity water system.The impact ,•ill vary depending on water source,materials used in the distribution system and household plumbing,age of the system, and the quality of the water being served to the consumers.The following points should be considered as you assess the impact of the new regulations on your utility. 1. Source Water • Does your existing water quality data indicate high lead levels in the source water? • If the source water contains lead,can existing treatment be modified,or would a new source have to be developed or additional treatment constructed? 11. Monitoring and Treatment Technique Requirements • Does existing monitoring data indicate compliance with the "action" levels? • How will the sampling pool of high-risk homes be selected?'What information is needed to make the selection? • Will there be problems gaining access to private homes for sampling?Should residents be enlisted to collect samples? • What type of treatment studies v,,ill be needed? • Will raising the pH achieve lead or copper reductions?Will it cause other problems such as tastes and odors or increased formation of deposits within the system? • How would a public education program be developed and implemented?Can this be done by utility staff or would it have to be done by individuals outside of the utility? • Is the utility laboratory capable of conducting all the analyses or will a contract laboratory be needed? • If samples have to be shipped, does the one-litre sample size create problems? • Will staff have to be hired and/or trained to do the required sampling? Ill. Costs—How much will costs increase as a result of the following? • Monitoring of source water • Treatment necessary to optimize corrosion control. • Monitoring at the tap for lead,copper,and other constituents. • Development of a treatment plan for compliance with the "action" levels. • Development and implementation of a public education program. Communicating With the Media and the Public When new regulations are passed,questions are often raised about drinking-water quality. Because pollution and public health are major concerns today,issues of drinking water safety attract attention from both the media and the public.You may have already been contacted by the media and the public about the quality of}our system's water. As a provider of drinking water,your responsibility involves not only supplying safe water to consumers,but also communicating the truth about water quality and addressing public health concerns. The new lead and copper rule contains provisions for a mandatory public education program, summarized in Table 6. Information that you provide to customers must be consistent with USEPA-developed mandatory language. Strategize with your public information officer and customer service manager to anticipate questions and develop responses that fit your situation.The USEPA-specified language is provided below to help you in developing your responses. I. Mandatory Public Education if your system exceeds the lead action level based on tap water samples,you must deliver public information materials specified in the rule.If a significant proportion of the population in your community speaks a language other than English,public education materials must be developed in the appropriate languages.Public education program requirements are summarized in Table 6, II. Mandatory Alert Language Community water systems that fail to meet the lead action level must print the following alert on each water bill in large print issued within 60 days: SOME HOMES IN THIS COMMUNITY HAVE ELEVATED LEAD LEVELS IN THEIR DRINKING WATER. LEAD CAN POSE A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO YOUR HEALTH. PLEASE READ THE ENCLOSED NOTICE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. A notice or bill staffer with mandatory written language(see section III below)must be sent with each bill. determine if it contains excessive concentrations of lead.Testing the water is essential because you cannot see,taste,or smell lead in drinking a>ater.Some local laboratories that can provide this information are listed at the end of this booklet. For more information on haying your water tested,please call [inscrt phone number of eater systenn]. (ii) If a water test indicates that the drinking water drawn from a tap in your home contains lead above 15 ppb,then you should take the following precautions: (A) Let the water run from the tap before using it for drinking or cooking any time the water in a faucet has gone unused for more than six hours.The longer water resides in your home's plumbing the more lead it may contain.Flushing the tap means running the cold water faucet until the grater gets noticeably colder,usually about 15-30 seconds. If your house has a lead service line to the water main,you may have to flush the water for a longer time,perhaps one minute,before drinking. Although toilet flushing or showering flushes water through a portion of your home's plumbing system,you still need to flush the water in each faucet before using it for drinking or cooking. Flushing tap water is a simple and inexpensive measure you can take to protect your fanvly's health.It usually uses Iess than one or two gallons of water and costs less than [insert a cost estinnate rased oil flushing two times a day for 30 days] per month.To conserve water,fill a couple of bottles for drinking water after flushing the tap, and whenever possible use the first-flush water to wash the dishes or water the plants.If you live in a high-rise building,letting the water floov before using it may not ivork to lessen your risk from lead.The plumbing systems have more and sometimes larger pipes than smaller buildings.Ask your landlord for help in locating the source of the lead and for advice on reducing the lead level. (B) Try not to cook with or drink xva ter from the hot«eater tap. Hot water can dissolve more lead more quickly than cold water.If you need hot water,draw water from the cold tap and heat it on the stove. (C) Remove loose lead solder and debris from the plumbing materials installed in newly constructed homes or homes in Vchich the plumbing has recently been replaced by removing the faucet strainers from all taps and running the water for 3 to 5 minutes. Thereafter,periodically re no\-e the strainers and flush out any debris that has accumulated over time. (D) if your copper pipes are joined with lead solder that has been installed illegally since it was banned in 1956,notify the plumber N,,-ho did the work and request that he or she replace the lead solder with lead-free solder. Lead solder looks dull gray,and when scratched with a key looks shims In addition, notify your State [insert iimne of department responsible for enforcing the Safe Drinking Water Act in your Statel about the violation. (E) Determine whether or not the service line that connects your home or apartment to the water main is made of lead.The hest way to determine if your service line is made of lead is by either hiring a licensed plumber to inspect the line or by contacting the plumbing contractor who.installed the line.You can identify the plumbing contractor by checking the city's record of building permits,which should be maintained in the files of the[insert naine of department that issues building pennits].A licensed plumber can at the same time check to see if your home's plumbing contains lead solder,lead pipes, or pipe fittings that contain lead.The public water system that delivers water to your home should also maintain records of the materials located in the distribution system. If the service line that connects your dwelling to the water main contributes more than 15 ppb to drinking water, after our comprehensive treatment program is in place,we are required to replace the line. If the line is only partially controlled by the[insert name of the city,county_or water system €7wt controls the linel,we are required to provide you with information on how to replace your portion of the service line,and offer to replace that portion of the line at your expense and take a follow-up tap water sample within 14 days of the replacement.Acceptable replacement alternatives include copper,steel, iron,and plastic pipes. (F) Have an electrician check your iti Mng.If grounding wires from the electrical system are attached to your pipes, corrosion may be greater.Check with a licensed electrician or your local electrical code to determine if your wiring can be grounded elsewhere. DO NOT attempt to change the wiring yourself,because improper grounding can cause electrical shock and fire hazards.

Boivin, Planner I SUBJF=: Revised Initial Study for T mckee Donner Public Utility District Master Plan Il�TE: June 19, 1991 We appreciate the opportunity to review the revised Initial Study on the District's revised draft master plan. According to the revised Study, the only change in the draft master plan is the addition of 18 new potential improvements. The following are our comments on the revised Initial Study: I. Enclosed is a copy of our November 14, 1990, meimo to you in response to the original draft Master Plan and Initial Study. The cats are still relevant and need to be addressed. II. The revised Initial Study, Item VII. , indicates that the project is consistent With existing zoning and plans. The list of new potential improvements includes the Boca Tank and transmission main located east of Glenshire in the proposed Tahoe Boca Estates. Tahoe Boca Estates, as proposed with the developer's original tentative map, and a revised tentative map being considered this month, is not consistent with the current Martis Valley General Plan. The Eastern Nevada County Planning c =i.ssion has indicated it will not min a General Plan amendment outside of the currently-ongoing cxmprehensive General Plan update. III. Again in regard to Item VII., the absence of information required in the existing i rig Martis Valley General Plan may make a finding of Genet-al Plan consistency difficult for the Eastern Nevada County Planning Fission. If that is the case, the conclusion in that Item may be incorrect. IV. We note that another well is proposed between the railroad tracks and the Truckee River, west of Olympic Heights. Would a well in this location count against the 10,000 acre feet surface water allocation to California? Truckee Danner FU.D. . June 19, 1991 Page 2. At this point in time, we don't know if the currently-ongoing comprehensive update to the Martin Valley and Nevada County General Plans will alter the existing policies which require the groundwater dwater studies. We expect that the update, including the Eastern Nevada County chaPter, will be adopted in early 1993. mat document will provide more up-to-date information on which to base your 2015 Master Plan, but we recognize that the District is anxious to proceed so that a facilities fee program can get underway. As indicated in the November, 199o, mem, we will set the Master Plan for a consistency finding with the Eastern County Planning Commission when your request and filing fee are received. Please feel free to give me a call if you have questions or wish to discuss the matter. We are anxious to be of any assistance to you that we can. cc/David Shpak, Planner III Denis Cook, Assistant Planning Director Attachment TDPCJD/MP/Intl Stdy6.19 COUNTY OF NEVADA PLANNING DEPARTMENT Eric Rood Adm.

The checklist does maize the potential impacts to water but provides no discussion on the matter. We are aware of previous studies undertaken by the District in regard, to ground water resources, and their content should be referenced from the aspect of environmental. review. The same information can be supplied to the Planning Commission to assist Commissioners with the general plan consistent' issue when you make your rat for findings. Because Senate Bill 2457 was finally adopted by Congress in October, and, hopefully will be signed by the President soon, you probably also should reference that legislation since it will requixe a future operating Agreement 0 which will provide allocation of waters, including ground water, in California. We understand that it is probably at least five years off. We have no information on when the "safe yield" of the aquifer will be determined. Thank you again for letting us comment at this early stage, and we would appreciate receiving a copy of the draft Negative Declaration when it has been prepared. Please feel free to give me a call. if I can be of assistance to you in finalizing it. In accordance with our telephone discussions, we have tentatively scheduled your general plan consistency request for December 20, 1990, before the Eastern Nevada Canty/Truckee Planning ca=l.ssian. To meet that date, we will need your letter request, filing fee and five copies of the Masterplan by December 3, 1990.

It is our understanding that the proposed project is the adoption of a Masterplan for the District's water supply, which defines potential system improvements needed through the year 2010. Twenty potential system improvements are identified, each of which will require separate compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . Our first concern is with the pipeline crossing of the Truckee River, as stated in Item No. 2. The proposed negative declaration does not state whether the crossing will be over or under the Truckee River. The Regional Board prohibits any disturbance within the boundaries of the 100-year flood plain of the Truckee River or any of its tributaries. Our second concern is with potential discharges into surface waters. It is stated that new tanks will contain overflow piping that discharge into local surface drainages. Granted, the water is of drinking-water quality, but constituents such as residual chlorine may adversely impact other beneficial uses of the Truckee River. Such discharges would then be in violation of our basin plan and may be subject to an enforcement action by our agency. Our final concern is with discharges of hazardous materials. The proposed negative declaration states that liquid solutions of chlorine and other materials may be released as a result of accidents. Containment facilities should be designed to prevent these accidental spills from impacting surface waters. Dr. Gordon Snow -2- We understand that these concerns can be addressed in the individual CEQA document for each proposed activity. Provided that this is indeed the case, we have no objections to the proposed negative declaration for this project. Please contact Eric J. Taxer or me at this office: if you have any questions regarding these comments.

Craig, Deputy Distr' t Clerk smc RESOLUTION NO. 9126 OF THE TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT AUTHORIZING EMERGENCY REPAIR WORK WHEREAS, an automobile accident on July 23, 1991 on Ski Slope Drive in the Tahoe Donner Subdivision caused one of the three Tahoe Donner substation transformers to short-circuit, resulting in substantial damage to the transformer; and WHEREAS,the damaged transformer,which was manufactured by General Electric Company, was examined by a General Electric field service technician who recommended that the unit be repaired, at an approximate cast of $55,000; and WHEREAS, a spare transformer was moved to the Tahoe Donner substation to replace the damaged one, but the spare transformer is in poor condition and cannot be expected to operate indefinitely; and WHEREAS, although a new transformer can be purchased, a new transformer could not be received for approximately 12 months; and WHEREAS, General Electric Company has estimated that the damaged transformer can be repaired and returned to use within approximately 10 weeks; and WHEREAS, the District is presently operating without a spare transformer; and WHEREAS, although it might be possible for another company to repair the damaged transformer, General Electric Company can undoubtedly repair the transformer more efficiently and cost-effectively and is the logical choice to repair the transformer; and WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20205.1 requires that the District engage in competitive bidding on any expenditure in excess of $10,000; and -1- WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20205.1 provides that in cases of great emergency, by consent of at least two-thirds of its members, the Board may at once do or cause to be done without notice all repair or replacement work necessary to meet the emergency; and WHEREAS, the District's lack of a spare transformer, its urgent need to have the damaged transformer repaired, and its inability to purchase a new transformer sooner than the damaged transformer can be repaired, constitutes a great emergency, which pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20205.1, would justify the District dispensing with competitive bidding procedures for the repair of the damaged transformer; and WHEREAS, District Counsel has advised the District that it may dispense with competitive bidding in this situation, for the reasons set forth above, NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED by the Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District as follows: 1. The recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as findings of the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District. 2.
