Hyde, District Civil Engineer SUBJECT: Tahoe Donner Leak Analysis _ Status Report 1990 Staff Report for Board Meeting, SEA is proceeding with Phase II of the Tahoe Donner Leak Analysis. As you might recall, Phase II is the field study portion of the analysis. The work includes a sonic leak survey by a subcontractor. The leak survey is currently underway and should take one or two more weeks to complete. The subcontractor is surveying all the mains and a portion of the service lines and fire hydrant laterals. After the survey is done, SEA will determine the location of about a dozen excavations to expose the pipelines in both "bad" (leaky) and "good" (not leaky) areas. The locations will depend on the results of s he leakworking survey h EA also on input from the corrosion engineer that Another part of Phase II involves training of the water crew to detect and prevent corrosion during their repair work. This training, to be done by the corrosion engineer, will be scheduled soon. As this phase progresses, SEA will be attending a future Board meeting to present tentative results.

That proposal was finally beaten but water and electric utilities have had some fees placed on them as part of the adopted budget. The De artment of Health S � $3.6 million in fees, starting at $.50 Der service connection purveyors serving over 200 service connections. This language does not con any o e res ctions or contro t we had negotiated as part of AB 2155 (Costa). In addition $5 million was authorized by an increase of the energy surcharge on electric consumers. Legislation Was also passed (SB 2557 - Maddy) authorizing counties to pass a utility users tax on utility services in unincoEporated areas. SB 65 CHAPTERED: SB 65, which would place a measure on the ballot to include public agencies under the disclosure provisions of Proposition 65, was allowed to become law without the Governor's signature. The bill, which was opposed by CMUA, still would allow listed chemicals to be used in water to protect public health but would require disclosure of those chemicals under Prop 65. In spite of the many letters of Opposition sent to the Governor by CMUA members and other public agencies the Governor allowed the bill to become law. It was strongly supported by the California Manufacturers Association. The provisions will only become law, however, if approved by the voters on the November ballot. E WETLANDS Negotiations continue with Assemblymen Sher and Isenberg over two of the most significant wetlands bills. The Sher bill AB 4231 would create a policy under CEQA calling for a no net loss of wetlands habitat or acreage. The R only remaining difficulty with the bill is the lack of definition. We have suggested to the author and the Legislature that the bill should be amended to include the Corps of Engineer definition expanded to include mudflats and also including a provision that declares that water conveyance facilities and/or areas created by the seepage of water from conveyance facilities not be considered as wetlands. The lack of definition is a particular problem P because of the addition of the no net lass language. Although, public agencies are often the lead agency under CEQA (not the case for powerplant o siting under the jurisdiction of the Energy Commission) the lack of def` -Ation would seem to invite law suits claiming that the public agency used the Rwrong criteria. The Isenberg bill, AB 4327, requires ratios of two to one habitat value for mitigation of wetlands on site and three to one for mitigation of wetlands off site. This provision is a substantial improvement over the previous provision
