It is our understanding that, at the present time, the Board of Directors ' annual workshop is the single opportunity the Board has to review and evaluate the actual financial results on a formal basis . In the past several years, the Board work- shop has been held in a time frame of five to seven months after the end of the fiscal year. We recommend that the Board of Directors institute a formal review of the flnancial results of the District on a quarterly basis . Such review should occur as soon as practical after the District ' s financial statements for such period have been prepared. The benefits of performing such a review on a timely basis include the following: 1. Evaluation of the District ' s actual per- formance as compared to the budget per- formance which would disclose situations in which the Board could adopt budget modi- fications based upon actual results . 2 . Improved understanding of the financial results of the District on a timely basis which would allow for Board action. 3. A framework for the determination of whe- ther or not the District has met its loan indenture covenants. ly/ ARTHUR ANDERSEN 8c Co• TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC -2- JUNE 19 , 1980 UTILITY DISTRICT 4 . Improved evaluation techniques to determine the need for rate increases in today ' s in- flationary economy. The performance of an indepth review of actual fin- ancial results on an annual basis only, does not provide the Board of Directors an adequate opportunity to react and pro- vide management with direction in response to a changing fin- ancial picture. A review.>of financial data four to seven months after the period has ended, also does not provide the Board with an up-to-date picture of the current financial situation_ We propose to meet with the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis to provide assistance in the analysis, review and understanding of the District ' s actual financial results. Our work, to be performed quarterly, would consist of the following: 1 . Review the District 's financial statements to gain an understanding and knowledge of the results of operations and the status of the financial position for the quarter just ended. 2. Discuss with the District management the major variations from the budget and from �-- the prior period' s actual results. 3 . Determine that the significant accounting and reporting issues have been properly and accurately reflected in the quarterly financial statements. 4 . Meet with the Board of Directors to present the analysis of the results of operations and status of financial position. Assist the Board in understanding the results and respond to the Board's questions . S. Provide assistance and consultation to the Board of Directors in developing any budget modifications required from the review of the results of operations. • _ ARTHUR ANDERSEN 8c Co. TRUCKEE-DONNER PUBLIC -3- JUNE 19 , 1980 UTILITY DISTRICT Our charges for this engagement would be at our normal per diem rates plus out-of-pocket expenses . Based upon our experience in the utility industry and our know- ledge of Truckee-Donner Public Utility District, we estimate that such fees would- be approximately $650 for each of the quarterly sessions. We would be happy to discuss this proposal further with the Board of Directors at the July 7, 1980 meeting in which we have been previously scheduled to present the 1979 audit report. If there are any questions we may respond to prior to that time, please do not hesitate to contact us. Very truly yours, ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO. By Richard J.

I have been an elected Director of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District for more than Gz years, and I am in the Run-Cff Election for Slevada County Supervisor. HY concerns are about the validity of the document which is under revlew, and its adequacy in addressiriti impacts on ,_;round water quality, I.

Project 79-1 Attached as page 8 of this Engineer's Report is the tentative calendar of events as provided by Samuel A. Sperry, concerning the 79-1 Water System Improvements that the voters of the District approved June 3, 1980. You will note that the next item on the tentative calendar of events is the adoption of a resolution calling for construction bids that are to be opened August 18, 1980. Enclosed for your review, consideration, and if appropriate, adoption is a draft resolution approving the plans , specifications and contract documents for Project 79-1 Water System Improvements and directing the call for construction bids . The time line is exceptionally short, as you see, with the notice to proceed being provided September 2, 1980. The objective expressed by bond counsel and the financial consultants , is to allow as much time as possible for construction this fall. If the contractor can proceed on September 2, 1980, most likely the. work can be completed prior to the onset of winter. Enclosed as page 11 of this report is the Advertisement for Bids that would be published in the trade journals and in the Sierra Sun. The signature of the president of the Board is required on the call for bids . Also enclosed for your information and use is the cost estimate for Project 79-1 as detailed on the improvement plans, specifications and bidding documents . 8. Water Rate Proposal Milt provided you with a narrative discussion of the need for water rate adjustments during the July 7 th Board Meeting. An item that was not specifically included in the proposed rate adjustments was the maintenance of the fire hydrant system through- out the District. Enclosed for your ready reference is a copy of the Fire Protection District's letter of March 27, 1980, and included as page 16 of this report is a narrative discussion provided at your April 7th meeting detailing the implications as I see them of the Fire District' s action. Also enclosed as page 18 is a copy of a very recent letter concerning exposure, additional premiums and a plan of action that the District should adopt to accomplish the fire hydrant maintenance. It may be best to hold off any in-depth discussion about a rate proposal until after the debt service analysis for Project 79-1 has been completed by Stone and Youngberg. However, such a decision is not in the engineering realm and I only advance it for your consideration. 8A. Truckee Governmental Infra-structure There is, in my opinion, a pressing need for a meaningful exchange of basic information between the Planning Department and the various public entities that are within the overall project approval process. Enclosed as page 19 of this Engineer's Report is my view of the Truckee area governmental structure. You will note its irregular form and shape. This is primarily the result of a constantly shifting form, requirements , objective and subjective internal agency response. Attached as page 20 of this Engineer's Report is our letter of May 27 and Brian Watson's letter of May 29. The approximate cost of accomplishing the system overlay maps that would highlight problem areas and prevent repeat problems similar to those of the six-plex on Ski Slope, is $1,000. It will take approximately one week to ten days to accomplish the graphic designs and provide the Planning Department with the end product. 9. Martis Valley Substation We have completed the topographic surveying and related outside activities at the site of the proposed substation. We have previously recommended that the District acquire the substation site by metes and bounds description rather than wait for the conclusion of the parcel map submitted by Mr. Aiello. Mr. Aiello's parcel map, you will note from previous submissions, indicates the substation site to be located on the easterly property line of the 20 acre Aiello parcel rather than the extreme northwest corner of the parcel. Plats of the acreage and legal descriptions have been previously provided with the recommendation to acquire by metes and bounds . f f�5 We have accomplished the grading plan in a preliminary fashion which has been reviewed by Sierra Pacific Power Company and the District staff members . Prior to your August 4 Board Meeting, we will have completed and circulated the draft initial study and environmental assessment dealing with the particulars of the substation site. Our current thrust on the initial study and environmental assessment is to provide a single document that will •^ satisfy the District's guidelines as well as the County require- ments for the change in land use. Approvals will be required from the Nevada County Planning Department for the change in land use. Approvals will be required from the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board for the excavation and placing of fill adjacent to the Truckee River. Approval of the proposed project will be required from the Sierra Pacific Power Company. Approval by the T.D.P.U.D, is required in accordance with your CEQA Guidelines . Approval would be required from Mr. Aiello for the acquisition i 'of the desired site. The accomplishment of the above list approvals will probably take not less than 60 calendar days following the initial adoption of the environmental documents . NEW BUSINESS 3. Water Main Extension, T.S.D. During your July 7th meeting, you directed the preparation of various materials that would accommodate the Truckee Sanitary District's shop and warehouse that is proposed to be constructed southerly of the sewage treatment plant. Enclosed as page 23 thru 29 are the various documents necessary to provide for the line extension under the District's Rule 15 ten year repayment period. The basic cost. of the line extension is some $322700, of which the Truckee Sanitary District will recapture approximately $25,000 over a ten year period of time from the adjoining areas, if they develop. 5. Approval: Airport Pump Station and Tank Dart Resorts has provided us with the revised plans for the Airport Pump Station and Tank. The plans as revised are consistent with the District's rules, regulations and design objectives. I recommend approval of the improvement plans, specifications and contract documents and request that the Board provide authorization for the Chairman to sign the cover sheet. ENGINEER'S REPORT 1. Current Construction A. Sewer Assessment District No. 5 - The S.A.D. 5 contractor is just now beginning to install the water facilities that are a portion of the overall project. The new Armstrong Booster Pump has been set and by the time you read this, I would suspect that the booster building would be in the early erection stages. As noted in earlier Engineer's Reports, the contractor elected to install a 100,000 gallon steel storage reservoir in lieu of the E relocation and installation of a vinyl liner in the District's 100,000 gallon redwood reservoir. Hood Corporation's election to use the steel tank resulted in a no cost change order being prepared, which has been executed by ourselves and the contractor and is included as pages 30 thru 31 of this Engineer's Report. I would like authorization for the Chairman to sign the no cost Change Order No. 1. The subcontractor on the tank fabrication performed in the excellent manner, utilizing industrious and highly skilled personnel. The subcontractor is Resource Develop- ment from Reno, Nevada. B. Airport Transmission Main, Phase IV - Hood Corporation has installed approximately 20 feet of the 48" diameter conductor casing under the Southern Pacific Railroad adjacent to the west right of way of Highway 267 . Contractor is having a little difficulty with the jacking operation and I believe by the time you read this will have completely reconstructed the jacking pit in a more substantial fashion. C. Airport Transmission Main Phase VI - Harker and Harker is making excellent progress on the Airport Transmission Main. Their operation seems to be well organized, operating with good equipment and adequate staff. Mr. Bob Jones of our firm is providing the on-site everyday inspection services on behalf of the T.D.P.U.D. ,�99 D. Reconstruct Southside No. 2 - The reconstruction of Southside No. 2 is sort of at a stale-mate pending the delivery of the electrical control panel. It is anticipated the panels should be on site within the next week to ten days . 2. Annexation A. C.S.A. 19 - Enclosed as page 32 to this Engineer's Report is a letter from Wes Zachary, Assistant Director of Public Works, Nevada County, stating that he has found the map to be correct and without errors. Also enclosed for your consideration are letters from the Nevada County Local Agency Formation Commission seeking direction with respect to the Placer County request for jurisdiction. Enclosed as page 35 is my response in accordance with the directives previously issued by the Board. B. C.S.A. 19 Ad_joiners - We have not yet submitted the adjoining parcels for Placer County consideration. We are at this time still. awalting the arrival of the tentative maps and environmental impact reports that the proponents alluded had been completed. The use of previously approved documents in this fashion should reduce the overall costs of the annexation and shorten the overall time line. 3 . T.T.S.A. Environmental Impact Report/Groundwater Attached as page 36 thru 40 of this Engineer's Report are excerpts from the T.T.S.A. 's .Environmental Impact Report. It is my consdered ,opinion that the report adequately addresses the potential interface between T.T.S.A. effluent and groundwater ex;tractions,- through the Airport Well and/or at some future date, from the Joerger Well No. l in addition to the Airport Well. The protection of the community drinking water. supply within the Martis Valley aquifer is not in any jeopardy as a result of the existing or proposed wastewater disposal practices in the area. 4. Goldtown Condominiums Submitted at your July 7th board meeting was a copy of the proposed developer agreement for Goldtown Condominiums . Agents for the developer will be at the July 21 meeting to discuss any fasces of the agreement and/or improvements proposed with the Board. rtH Hm rtH�+ — 0 0 � titW H- ti m 0t-rtr• a rtr• rtaro o' � m CrJ d1 ; Ito O''� tt � H to G' x G' o m x n Itft0 ti 0 0 m G ID rt p rt ' ai tt �n ' 0 zG H m 0 0 m o o W (Drt (D H(D 0 rtmam40, rtV (D Wmmm (D0Wmrt 0 (Dtt0 7 rtm t+ Ho'U 0 w � � r N 0 Hm WNrrtro PW � 0 H :4HltN V o H hrt'• ti o W P.,O, m rtG r• Wxo mrD r• OWmrt0 timGrt0WmHE3Wmt1m 0 prDcnw0ocnm G n (Drt o t0 GCNrtw GQ � AAG co m � 14 a rCmG (D rt rtHG • 7 rt H. 0 wrtWbC0 OQ 0 rt'�• mtt rt (Dr• m (D00Hrtr• mr• Hti0 0rt0 0 m m m m 0m0 m td r' E a+ W H. ri 0 � 0 o 0 Fit c 0 0 cn m W 0 rb W E3 0 Fh W `y' m 0 m m rt C m It rt rt ro � rt rt H. rt 0 H. m o ro 0 m ti rt Fh w rr�t rrtt � �• rtGm0rrt mr• rt r• r• H0m ti � � rtWCrthhH rt r Wmm rtCp' H. o 0 E r• rt o d W r• m r• r• W o m m H.ro x ro H. p ro a o m F.

Post Office Box 309Y" Truckee, CA 95734 Chairman Kuttel and Members of the Board: t� E FIRE HYDRANT AGREEMENT-OCTOBER 10, 1978 -- TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT AND TRUCKEE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT _ Paragraph 8 of the above-referenced agreement sets forth provisions for the termination of the agreement. I have been instructed by the Board of Directors of the Fire Protection District to notice termination of the agreement pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 8 and this letter is delivered to effect such notice. f Thirty days from date of delivery of this letter to your District Office the agreement shall terminate pursuant to this notice and the provisions of Paragraph 8 thereof. The Truckee Fire Protection District Board has instructed that I advise that termination of the agreement has been found by their Board to be in the public interest. The 1979 enactment of Assembly Bill No. 1653 sets forth in the Civil Code and the Government Code provisions which enable your District in their view to impose charges providing for the maintenance of fire hydrants. The statutes of California provide for no grant of similar authority to the Truckee Fire Protection District Board. The 1978 agreement shifted the burden on maintaining fire hydrants to this District. The Truckee Fire Protection District Board has concluded that the burden should be borne by the entity capable of imposing charges commensurate with the burden and on persons, properties, or entities realizing benefit from the installation of the hydrants.

Copeland Fire Chief s jm RIGHT OF WAY EASEMENT PAT SHANE/SENIOR .C-IIT-�IZENS ---�� During a previous ' s Reps '"ecr'"-comm certain conditions and qualifi t ld be attached to the granting of ane/Senior Citizen right o The previous n ations are restated. NEW BUSINESS C 5. TRUCKEE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT HYDRANT MAINTENANCE The Fire Districts were more persuasive upon the Legislators than were the water purveyors of the State of California. The argument as to who should maintain the fire hydrants and whether or not there should be rental fees has been a hot issue between agencies for the last ten to fifteen years , to my personal knowledge. AB 1653 would appear to set the matter to rest once and for all with the over-riding conditions imposed by Proposition i 13. The ramifications of AB 1653 as it relates to the Truckee Fire Protection District and the T.D.P.U.D. are significant in my view. The implication is that the maintenance of the fire hydrants will be transferred from the fire district to the ! utility district. I foresee several potential problems associated with the transfer, which would include the following: A. The reduction in paid personnel on the staff of the Truckee Fire Protection District. The reduction in the paid personnel could effect the overall favorable fire rating presently enjoyed by the members of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District, which of course are essentially the same as the members of the ' Truckee Fire Protection District. The maintaining of the excellent rating now enjoyed is of significant economical value. B. The subject matter of concern has to do with the life, safety and emergency response facilities. The awareness, attitudes and training of the personnel of the Truckee Fire Protection District are keyed directly to the life safety aspect of their responsibility. Conversely, the water maintenance department is not directly keyed to life safety considerations . If the water department is to assume the maintenance of the fire hydrants, including winter snow removal, a complete change in the priorities and the staffing will be required. -2- �S,NrTply�4 - ,:°.;, R.t� »•'s.W.aad` .__. _ r:, 0 CO �J a) a 0 N a) 0td � U u p \ IJ 4 Z 0 .0 .A r 4 0 0 X- H ��' G .A •r4 cd to �J 0 p sa � r! � g +� G 4 .,4 {.1C �, 0) 0 � o H ro •�+ cd � N4' uuo• 4J 4J 3 � 4. 0 a) U b0 44 •rl �J 4-I D, .uCdro roop 00 �D04rou4 •H mo ro �' u d guu aoi u� cad a� a� cd •�1 a� a� •�+ aU 4u .0 a ca a� u a) •� 3 �1 b0 a) •rl X4 ra b0 a) ro 41 cd 41 u cd u 41 �J •rt-A P C 0 4j ro m 4j o •� , 4 .0 •r+ 4- P (n cd •ri p C •r{ m U rA •r4 a) Nb4 a) a) (d -1 41 >.a) > N •r! •H 0 1J -H cd •rl �, P cd a) rl dJ 0 P 'n q w 5 0 a) ra s~ a) v 4w m a1 �u -4 x m �, o r+ u ,� a) u ra +J •rt o u o u u x •� cd a) E o m o CO 4 cd 4J m 0 3 a) a� m m •r� >: r-4 tH 0 w -H m a) cd m a H a) 0 P •r+ bD•rl a) •n 0) 4-1 �+ U m - •rl •H a ro 0 Q) m 4 p m •H :J co0 -1 ma) u 0) � 3UN � 0 �+ 0 rul � UA � 5P60 utoa) ACC 0 uro .ucd4u � qucncd �+ a a) 0 II' 0 cd 'G1 0 0 0 u 11 c 10 A 0 Q�l 0 •P 0 ro 4J ro v0i � G 0 0 401 W rW Q01 a m 0 ro a) U cd Q) LH 0 u a) a) 0 mu 1Ja) � 0ro U � u 0occ0roq •� u �j -H 1~ 'C mONm � � 4jAm � OC � m � O � U •r4 o0 •rqu ppU � ,gUAHS, $ a.0 a1 �+ 0 -H cd •ri0 - mr4 'G •rl 4-1UN ^ �, C5 AuUUa) .n0Ap0codoa00 mroro ra � •�+ ro u �+ � u au 3 o a) 41 ra � cd P ra -H a) o H 0 t; cd •,1 a) a 1 >, 0 a) •rl a) C a) x m ro m )J d,J Cd ro 4 LH p U 4J .>� ''0 0 G 4 .0 U 41 p ,4J Q ",� ro cd 0 C u � m SJ q 0 a) -H 0 0 U " v r-4 •H b0 a) G' 4-.1 •rl •r4 ac m U r4 •rl G '� cd a) G. a) H U) N �rri r-4 N X.a) co •� • r, P L14 .W -H a) .N P P 0 4 U � H Oa N •o � .z o .o �+ � � •ri �' 0 44 0 0 Cl 0 tJ ro � 04 0 '0 0 Lo r. -A H 3 +J u r4 •n 0 a a� 41muro uma) oa'H > ma) 00u � •r4p •r+ 0w U) -H •r4 cd �u4.4 -H 04 um � 5 � 0 u � uu r-4r4 *� A wu vuro0 .o0m u 0 A 4J CO r 4 N 0 (D Cdd p A •4 Q) •H c3 0 •H Q) C� r4 .G N 0 ro 4J -H•H CN Pp-1 •H H � rU• 4'Id 4JJ 1 .H D,.0 •� U 44 0 41 P LH a) •4-I P 1PJ � LH m P o 41 X •r4 cd � a) m N C .H ,C ro n +4 A C 41 C cd co a A 4 cd •r4 ro •r! 41 co q 0 oroof •�+ . roLHmmNx344 •r♦ �J4u dJ •ra0mP .umro a•uC •0rl -H � 4a a) G U m •0 � 0r. � ^ P� H cd a) 11 o u C n cd ro m •ri •rl C a) C a) 0 td A 41 A ',�, ''� 4j ,° •H � 0 (a '�ca a) 0 Q) A a (u 3 U a) 0 4 x 0 41 w v 0 w41 4J a M A ro p • a) u •r4 .4 u a) m a x •r� +� o b0.0 u a a) ro •rl CO a Cd 4J �rl,• 41 44 0C Pw •H r-4 0) r-4 cd m a) AP a) m 0 u � I a• , �+ b • C a 0 N CO W Gr • U r4 U •H a 41 � � 4J w a) o m V >` � b cd a) ra u A 41 a) o o p u ro •r � a) q H cd m 44 •r a) 0 C ro a) 0 4 :J a) •r •r r4Qm rl r-40 > r-4 0,1 J +J NcdA 0 •rl GPa mH10J4� co 4a •� 'dAccdd 0 •H � � �� ,1.1 � H iGHO • �1 � � d1 0 41 }I r-4 •rl '"4 a) a) 0 a.1 a) N •rl w m • 41 Q) 0 44 0 A U G � m N Ca a a) >1 >•U .�" 41 A � a) 401 aJ �{ {a 4J H 'J" �1 0 a) u m cd o �, a) a•rq m 0 0 0 •rl p, cd N .� cd cd 41 0 4J co 4J p 4d 0 v � r1 m •rl 4.1 •rl a) � N U cd ro � a) m m �,•rl a a 044 o 0 •r{ cda) 0 >, 0) 41 w0 aa) cd -Wrlaa) � cd4J .ouCr4uroom a) m •r4a) u 044PN � ra ,C rimE •r; - (U 0g, �1m (d 5A 4 � 0aZa) P4j �1 m H � W ro .ra .rt ni C) cd •ra a) ro u a) 4J m 4 N x u ro �, 0 44 0 o a E P : Pa U :r{ cn ro Q'•r1 a) a 0 0 U aJ U 4 m ?a ?a .f•' U 'J, '� 'J, m a) 0 U �I 0 +J 44 ro m •r4 N 0 •r4 wuoQ) 4aDcd a) a) u 'o0of� C � mcd �a9ralJcd t~ u „C 41 a) N 0t~ a) ma M 4J 0 00 0 � 5 � a) 4� � cd Oto0P40 r-I•rl4-I � GHa) 0A01Acd 41 � NN0 � 0oVu) m m .ra ra u •r4 ro G 3 u .� +� (U cd to v ro ro o 3 •r4 >, •ra a) p •r4 cd p r. 3 � > u m m •rl . >,aJ a) y 1 H r! 41 C A X •r4 41 5 :3 a) 0 0 C a) .o ra 10 0 •r1 ra 4-I a) ra P 4J 5 a) •r4 ro •r4 0 M � •rI m u 4 � 'J, 'a Rt •rt ;J u ro C •r� U 'a � 0 � r-4 U) cd 4 � cd C r♦ cd cd $ ro •rt a) 0 •r4 �1 Id C 3 N rl ro •r4 •r4 a) aJ •r4 u JJ a cd � m •r+ •r4 a ra A o cd - a) � .o W � � `� o '� 4 04 � LH -W � a (D b 4j 0 a rl ai � � ro ro � u cd ro U a) •r4 rd Fq N 0 Ia U G a1 U 0 •ra 4a ro g •cad o G •r4 �4 'C m 4- •0rl '0 X o •H •H a) 00 0•rl 0 0 0 •-1 On 410) r� roa�ixm 0 H 34-1 ucd +lmcdroacd H •r+ orocdu3A4a0 oA3A 3 m a -� July 14, 1980 ;tilt Seymour Truckee Donner Public Utility District P.O.

In my wandering I came across two fire hydrants that have been knocked completely off the bury assembly. I save others that I strongly suspect are not operational. As I recall the Fire District very effectively placed total and complete operationt maintenances responsibility. and liability upon the T.D.P.U.D. The cost associated with your new responsibility I assume is built into your rate increase proposal. I would think that this new responsibility would be of interest to the District insurance carrier. Extra premium for inclusion in the rates? Should a fire occur at the location of a defective hydrant, today July 14, 1980, what is the District's exposure? What should be don4r:to limit the exposure?

Increases in population and develop- _ ment have already pushed the competitive demand for water to a i crucial point. ; Pyramid Lake is the habitat of the world-famous Lahontan cutthroat trout and the now rare cui-ui sucker, a prehistoric ! ti- holdover found only in the lake. Over the years, the inflow to 4 Pyramid Lake decreased and the lake elevation dropped. The l resultant change in stream gradient caused the Truckee River to cut # through its banks and bed to form a sediment delta barrier at the river mouth so that spawning of the lake'"s cutthroat trout in the river was curtailed. In recent years, through the combined efforts of the Nevada Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, action has been taken to restore the fishery, but fish are not as plentiful as they were originally. Groundwater. Groundwater occurs within alluvial and glacial deposits, as well as within deep-seated igneous rocks, throughout C # the Truckee River basin. In valley areas, especially in the ` Martis and Union valleys, south and east of Truckee, depths of alluvium and glacial till are sufficient to provide a significant amount of groundwater storage. Where such groundwaters are extracted and utilized, local geology and topography influence the interconnection of these sources. j In mountainous areas of excess precipitation, the configuration of the groundwater table normally follows the land, and perennial streams are usually line sinks of groundwater seepage. Assuming a common water table for all underlying aquifers , the line i ` sink prohibits groundwater movement beneath the stream. Thus, under natural conditions a gaining-water stream becomes a boundary to groundwater movement. 20 t In the vicinity of the T-TSA plant, the water table is very # flat in areas of thick glacial deposits. The water table steepens towards the Truckee River where the clay ridge of the Truckee ? Formation impedes subsurface flow. Groundwater contours, based on observations made in August 1974, show that the Truckee River is a f water gaining reach in the vicinity of T-TSA plant; that is, the water table intersects and flows into the river. This eliminates any possibility of percolated effluent moving subsurfacely across the Truckee River under the current groundwater regime. 20 Martis Creek, along its lower reach near the confluence with k the Truckee River, is also a water gaining reach. The upper end of Martis Creek is a losing reach, but the contours show the groundwater flow lines to be parallel with the creek, indicating no subsurface flow across the creek. ! i It is apparent that under existing conditions water percolating at the T-TSA disposal area moves downward to the water table and then northeasterly . The percolated water then discharges into the Truckee River and Martis Creek near its mouth. 20 Thus, only a very small portion of Martis Creek near its mouth is i affected by the T-TSA discharge. This conclusion has been t Environmental Setting -25 • a confirmed by T-TSA monitoring of Martis Creek TFR and chloride concentrations at intervals of about 1, 000 ft from the dam to its mouth. This monitoring indicates that the last 2,000 to 3,000 ft -_� of the creek are impacted by the T-TSA discharge. Analysis of groundwater samples obtained in the vicinity of the T-TSA disposal area indicates a calcium sodium-bicarbonate water varying in total filtrable residue (TFR) from 61 to 166 mg/l. The quality type and TFR of water from the Truckee Formation and overlying glacial deposits were found to be the same. Quality analyses from Martis -Creek and the airport wells show nearly identical quality type and TFR levels as groundwater sampled in the i vicinity of the T-TSA disposal area. Other Truckee River Basin Water Resources. A number of other 1 water bodies in the Truckee River basin could be affected by the T-TSA project or by the growth it will accommodate. These include r Donner Lake, Donner Creek , Cold Creek , Prosser Creek , Prosser Reservoir, Station Creek, Little Truckee River, Stampede Reservoir, Independence Lake, Sage Hen Creek, and Boca Reservoir. Available information on these water resources is summarized below. Donner Lake is located at the head of Donner Creek about 3 miles west of Truckee. It is approximately 3 miles long and i 1/2 mile wide with a surface area of about 960 acres. The maximum depth is about 230 ft. Donner Lake has a relatively small drainage area and there are no large streams tributary to the lake. The lake level is controlled by a dam on the outlet which is 16 ft, high r and stores 11,000 acre-ft of water for release in the late fall. U-S. Highway 40 parallels the northern shore of the lake. Much of the land around the lake is privately owned, but the public has access along the north shore and where Donner Memorial State Park borders the southeastern shore. Donner Lake is a popular fishing lake. It contains rainbow, .� brown, eastern brook and mackinaw trout. Catchable-size rainbow trout have been planted annually and kokanee salmon have been j planted in the lake for many years. An effort has also been I made to reestablish the native Lahontan cutthroat trout which' disappeared from the lake some years ago.21 Donner Creek is tributary to the Truckee River, approximately 1-1/2 miles upstream from Truckee. It is approximately 2-1/2 miles long. The flow of Donner Creek is partly controlled by a dam at the cutlet of Donner Lake. The stream formerly meandered through a large meadow below the Donner Memorial State Park, but highway construction between Donner Lake and Truckee completely changed its character. Donner Creek was formerly an important fishing stream. It was easily accessible from Highway 40 and produced good fishing for f rainbow and brown trout. Between 5,000 and 7,000 rainbow trout of is catchable size were planted annually. It was also an important spawning stream for trout from the Truckee River when flows were adequate. The upper section of Donner Creek that flows through nti[: CA_Dt-c.L ....f lit.-iiivG f'i•fU'i,,,-[;2c------------- - Environmental Impacts 5-3 Seismicity. The T-TSA plant and disposal field, as well as the interceptor sewers that carry untreated wastewater to the plant, are subject to damage by earthquakes. Because existing T-TSA facilities were designed to withstand a maximum credible earthquake of about 6.5 on the Richter scale, structural damage due to ground motion is not anticipated. Furthermore, because none of the facilities cross active faults, structural damage due to fault } movement is not anticipated. Damage of unsupported ^'^ pported laboratory glassware and other equipment during seismic events, as well as minor spills of liquids stored in open tanks, however, can be expected. Seismic damage to the existing T-TSA interceptor sewer, while possible, is highly unlikely. Water Quality. Discharge of effluent (treated wastewater) from y the T-TSA plant to the environment alters the quality of the following receiving waters: Groundwater in the vicinity of the disposal field • Martis Creek downstream from Martis Creek Lake Dam (approximately the last 2,000 to 3 ,000 ft of Martis Creek) ® Truckee River downstream from its confluence with Martis i Creek • Pyramid Lake i = Hy drogeological studies of the T-TSA disposal area conducted by CH2M HILL indicated that effluent percolating at the disposal site t �r would move downward to the water table and then northeasterly., i Receiving water monitoring data obtained by T-TSA (presented in 1 Appendix D) has revealed that effluent disposal has increased salt i concentration of groundwater in the glacial outwash (Tahoe outwash) and possibly in the underlying Truckee Formation. near the disposal area. Because the disposal area is currently down-gradient from i wells (other than T-TSA plant wells) used to supply drinking water 1 and because the Truckee River on the north and Martis Creek on the i east act as boundaries to groundwater movement, no significant impacts on local public drinking water supplies are anticipated. i a i More recent hydrogeological studies conducted by Frederick R. 1 McLaren Environmental Engineering, Inc. , have revealed that ( groundwater in the shallow aquifer into which T-TSA effluent is t � generally discharged y g flows from west to east.34 Groundwater in i the deep regional aquifer beneath the disposal area flows basically ' from south to north. These findings substantiate the findings of earlier studies that vertical mixing of groundwater between the two aquifers is extremely limited due to clay layers of appreciable thickness which form the boundary between the deep and shallow aquifers. More recent studies discount the apparent degradation of groundwater in the regional aquifer beneath the T-TSA disposal j 5-4 Environmental Impact Report area. They postulate that the uppermost of the many clay layers separating the two aquifers was incised prior to deposition of the Tahoe outwash material. Thus, the groundwater obtained by T-TSA from beneath the first clay layer in the vicinity of the T-TSA r disposal site is representative of water in the shallow aquifer and not of water in the regional aquifer. Because the regional aquifer and not the shallow aquifer exhibits the greatest potential for water supply development, T-TSA disposal operations should not significantly affect t supplies. Water supply wells would be affected if public water extracted from upper layers of the regional aquifer tooasuchwere an i extent that the local groundwater gradient was reversed. This situation is highly unlikely11 . by the T TSA able that d discharge would essentially continue and the Truckee River. to percolate and to be discharged to Martis Creek (near its mouth) Potable water for the T-TSA plant is obtained from wells that may eventually withdraw a mixture of groundwater and treated wastewater. Although recharge of groundwater basins used for It domestic water supply is a common practice in California the California Department of Health Services has expressed concern about the potential for stable organic materials ' effects in man if ingested over a period to cause chronic of many years. The quality of the waters of Martis Creek downstream from Martis Creek Lake Dam is altered by T-TSA effluent disposal. The magnitude of this alteration can be roughly estimated by using a version of a simple mathematical mass balance dilution model. The model was developed and used by the staff of the Lahontan RWQCB { and by Frederick R. McLaren Environmental Engineering to assess 11 impacts of T-TSA waste discharges on Martis Creek and the Truckee River.2.3 Simplifying assumptions used in construction of model are explained in Appendix F. the I The model indicates that at an annual average T-TSA plant flow of 3 .1 mgd and an annual average flow in Martis Creek at the i gaging station below i4artis Creek Lake Dam (based on 1972-1978 j water years} of 13. 5 mgd (20. 9 cfs) , effluent with about 25 percent of the entering the creek , the following long-term average changes in Martis Creek water quality would occur: ' Increase Constituent in concentration 4 due to effluent disposal, m ' Total filtrable residue Chloride 30 Total nitrogen 8 f Total phosphorus 0.1 I <0 . 01 The addition of algal nutrients to the last portion of Martis Creek could cause an increase in biological productivity of that portion of the creek. The magnitude and significance of the change 5-46 Environmental Impact Report Accidents The following measures would be taken to minimize adverse effects due to accidents: • T-TSA management would assure that all operations personnel ! are familiar with the hazardous materials and equipment i used in the plant. 0 T-TSA management would formulate contingency plans and procedures to minimize the adverse effects of accidental releases of hazardous materials. ! Public Health The following measures would be taken to minimize adverse effects on public health: • T-TSA plant effluent would be regularly monitored for compliance with state and federal drinking water standards. i • If tertiary treatment is determined to be an appropriate minimizing means of �- g algae g growth in receiving waters, the process used to remove phosphorus would also inactivate some viruses and remove a major portion of heavy metals contained in the wastewater after secondary treatment. The tertiary treatment process used to remove dissolved organic compounds (activated carbon adsorption) would also remove a major portion of the stable organic compounds contained in the wastewater after secondary treatment. Subsurface disposal and resultant soil filtration would also remove a portion of the heavy metals and stable organics remaining in the effluent. -- o Compliance with DHS reclamation criteria and guidelines would reduce public health risks associated with reclaimed water use to acceptable levels. Archaeological and Historical Resources The following measures would be taken to minimize adverse effects on archaeological and historical resources: o In the event that construction is proposed in areas that j have not been surveyed by a professional archaeologist ` during previous facilities planning studies, such surveys would be conducted prior to final site selection. f • T-TSA would arrange for g prompt professional consultation and cessation of work should archaeological discoveries be made during construction of wastewater management facilities.

Mr. Toomey agreed that -on rlonday, June 30, 1930, he would pay his long over-due account with the Truckee Donner Public Utility District in the amount of some $700.00 representing the second payment for plan checking and construction inspection for the water main extension along Nest diver Street. 2. We discussed at great length Cook Associates billing to the Truckee Donner Public Utility District raking reference to the copies (in his hands) of our billings that were provided to the d;strict complete with ledger card back-up detail and in turn the district provided said copies to Mr. Toomey. Mr. Toomey expressed the belief that he was over-charged for inspection services on the West River. Street pipeline. The basis of his expressed belief had to do with t-7o basic factors: a) inspection is definAtely not required on a continuous basis and should only be provided at the acceptance and testing levels of such an installation; b) it is impossible for Cook Associates to have J �C") Milton Seymour Truckee, California July 1, 1980 Page 2. r a line item entry under any given date that exceeds 24 hours. We discussed ejae difference in inspection procedures that the District follows for work that the District will accept, operate, maintain and replace as compared to the State Division of Housing Inspection for an on-site mobile home park system to be operated and maintained by the property owner. We also discussed the fact that our ledger cards are posted by pay period and it is every bit proper for entry to exceed 24 hours in any given two week (80 u-orlon- hours) pay period. We also explained that the construction of the pipeline was i exceedingly slow and very inefficient. In fact, not yet r complete nearly one calendar year later. We agreed to provide Mr. Toomey with backup information'as it related to the inspection trips and timing during the construction sequence. Mr. Toomey proposes to sue or otherwise recoop his inspection fees from the contractor_ t We discussed at considerable length the component parts necessary for Mr. Toomey to conduct an acquisition assessment proceeding. We provided Mr. Toomey with 35 xerox copies of background data on assessment district proceeding guidelines, engineer's check- list and related so that Mr. Toomey could provide his engineers; R.V.A. , with specific instructions in how the acquisition Proceedings should be conducted.

Our work is to consist of an examination of the balance sheet at December 31, 1980 and the related state- ments of net revenue and changes in finanical position for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards , including such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we consider necessary to enable us to express our opinion on the fin- ancial statements . Our examination is to include a review and evaluation of the existing system of internal accounting control to provide a basis for reliance thereon in determining the nature, timing and extent of selective audit tests to be applied to recorded transactions and data for certain periods of the year. Primary reliance for the prevention and de- tection of errors or irregularities must be placed on such systems of internal accounting control because it is in con- stant operation and covers all periods and transactions. Such a system cannot eliminate, however, the possibility that such errors or irregularities may occur . While there can be no guarantee that such errors or irregularities will be detected by us, we will plan our examinati-)n to search for errors or irregularities that would have a material effect on the financial statements .

As you recall, our fee for the 1979 audit was $12, 000. We are proposing to per- form the 1980 audit for a fee of $15, 000. The increase in fees reflects the following : 1. Our billing rates have increased approximately 14% since we proposed to do the 1979 audit for $12, 000 2. The Farmer ' s Home Administration loan indenture requires additional reporting in 1980 above the level re- quired in 1979. As a result of the Board ' s resolution re- garding the accounting for the Farmer ' s Home Administration, additional work would be required for the 1980 audit . it should be noted that the additional work is less than what would be required if the Board had not adopted the separate cash accounting we recommended. 3. We have performed the 1978 and 1979 audit at a level of fees less than our actual amount incurred . We continue to absorb part of the audit cost in this estimate for 1980. 4. The estimate at $15,000 reflects the efficiencies of approximately $1, 000 which would result from the Board ' s adoption of our proposal to perform quarterly reviews . As you are aware, a professional services organization such as Arthur Andersen & Co. is very sensitive to inflationary pressures since most Of our costs are payroll and travel . A RTHUR ANDERSEN & CO- Board of Directors - 2 - July 15, 1980 As a result, each year we must reevaluate the level of fees we propose for each of our engagements . Our fee estimate of $15, 000 for 1980 is based upon our experience in the utility industry, our familiarity with Truckee- Donner Public Utility District and an evaluation of what we believe is the fair and reasonable answer for you, the Board of Directors . If we can answer any further questions , regarding our proposal to perform the December 31, 1980 audit of the Truckee-Donner Public Utility District, please do not hesitate to contact us .

CALIFORNIA 95734 TELEPHONE 567-3896 - M E M O R A N D U M TO: Susan Craig FROM: Merrilyn Marsh, Customer Accounting DATE: July 18, 1980 SUBJECT: Presorted Mailing of District Statements/Mail Under the current computer system, it appears to me that using a presorted first-class mailing permit could not be accomplished successfully for the following reasons : 1. The District computer does not print the statements in ZIP code sequence but rather by account number by book. Reprogramming would be required by other than in-house personnel . It is also questionable whether there is adequate diskette storage for such additional programming. Manual separation would be impractical . 2 . A condition of the permit is to have mailings of 10 or more pieces sorted to the same 5-digit ZIP or 50 or more to the same 3-digit ZIP Code prefix. This would present a problem in that one book of 125 customers could be mailed all over the state. Although we do have a considerable amount of Truckee mail , we do have approx- imately 50% out of town mailings; some of these are out of state . 3. The requirement of 500 pieces presorted mail per mailing would require holding daily billings until that number is accumulated. We could only mail statements about 8 times a month. We currently try to mail the statements as soon after they are billed as possible. Our present .first-class permit requires 300 pieces per mailing and that at times has been a problem. We do not like holding statements as it results in showing past-due balances when payments were received during the "holding" process . I think the idea of presorted mail is great but not feasible under out present computer system. In order to stay current with the accounts receivable, we must bill daily. Another computer system might allow us to do 500 or more statements at one sitting and accomplish the sorting requirements. mhm i i ' D1 .10 Erosion Control 9/ Erosion control features shall be constructed at the earliest practical time ' Care shall be exercised to preserve vegetation beyond the limits of construction.

Milton Seymour, General Manager Re: Water Rate Proposal The attached sheets outline a proposal to increase the water rates for the Truckee Donner Public Utility District to meet the projected revenue requirements as envisioned in the 1980 budget. This rate proposal is based on expected costs as of May 1 , 1980. 1 urge each Director to consider this proposal carefully, and perhaps consider its enactment or revision following the close on bidding on the District' s 1 .9 acres, June 30, 1980. Several possible events could effect the need for the rate increase or the amount of the increase. First, if the District is successful in leasing the 1 .9 acres at an annual rent of approximately $40,000, a portion of the proposed rate that is designated as applying to the fixed costs could be avoided. However, even if the, 1 .9 acres is leased, it is unlikely that the District will realize any rev- enue during the calendar year of 1980. Therefore, an interim rate increase would appear to be justified pending the receipt of monthly rentals on District prop- erty. A second factor that could affect the proposed rates is the probability of incurring additional debt for project 79-1 . This debt will add additional expense to the District's budget and, thus, increase the amount of rate increase i^ necessary. The pumping costs associated with the delivery of water to any of our customers have been divided into two parts: 1) a fixed amount based on consumption, and the GS-1 commercial rate, and 2) a variable amount that would change from month to month depending upon the fuel charge. The reason for separating the fuel cost from the basic per kilowatt hour GS-1 rate is because of the rapid fluctu- ation in the fuel cost in the last several months. If the District does not adjust its pumping charge each month, any fixed pumping charge increase could be gradually wiped out by the increasing cost of fuel . A work order presently under way to shift pumping times of the District' s major Pumps to off-peak electrical load periods will have a direct benefit to the District. It is entirely justifiable, in my opinion, to pass this reduction in demand cost (if we can determine it) on as a credit to the Water Department' s cost of pumping. This would have the effect of reducing the monthly water bill slightly. A water meter program to meter domestic users would also have a beneficial affect on individual users because they would undoubtedly reduce their consumption, and cost would be distributed more accurately according to the individual customer' s usage. There would , however, be an offsetting expense and additional meter reading costs and maintenance costs. Properly implemented, however, the use of water �., meters should have a net beneficial effect. AMS/slp Cc: Office Manager, Counsel Attachments a/n and Engineer RATE PROPOSAL WATER SERVICE 1980 The 1980 cash flow budget shows a total revenue requirement for the water department as follows : Operations and Maintenance $247,728 General and Administrative 150,582 Other Expenses and Transfers 64,000 Debt Service 19,641 TOTAL Of this total , $109,000 is the estimated pumping cost or purchased power. To determine the revenue requirement, exclusive of purchased power, deduct the $109,000. The result is the revenue needed to yield a zero 109,000 margin for the year 1980. $372,641 Part of this revenue is derived from non-usage sources such as interest, facility fees, rents, standby charges, connection fees, etc. This revenue is estimated to be $122,466. Deducting -122,466 this amount from the revenue requirement above yields $250, 175 Sales from usage then must equal or exceed this amount to yield a zero margin -�r^ The 1980 budget estimates that with a 15 % rate increase the usage revenue will be $280,000 Adjusting the figure to remove the anticipated rate increase ($280,000 -t 1 . 15) yields $243,478 This shows that without a rate increase, usage revenue will be $6,697 short of achieving a zero margin ($250, 175-243,478) = 6,697 deficit If an operating margin of $30,000 is desirable then the total revenue deficiency is 30,000 $ 3 ,9 To achieve a $30,000 margin, usage revenue of $280, 175 is required and a rate increase is required. The percentage rate increase needed is ($280,715 _ 1) X 100 = 150 $2 43,47 For domestic users this could mean increasing the fixed portion of their monthly water rate as follows : $7. 90 x 1 . 15 = S9 . 09 For ease of computation , I recommend $9 . 00 which is a 14% increase .

Pumping costs are based on zone ( lift) , electricity cost , and usage . A study of the Posser. Heights and Prosser Lakeview areas in 1977 revealed that for those areas , average domestic water use was 8 , 750 gallons per household per month . Using this usage figure the pumping charges per domestic use per month were calculated . The formula for computing the pumping costs per 1 , 000 gallons can be found in engineering handbooks or derived from basic factors such as lift and the weight of water and pump and motor efficiencies . Pumping cost/ 1 , 0009als = Lift X . 00315 x Electric cost Efficiency per KWHR Efficiency is wire to water and includes motor and pump efficiency plus water line efficiency . It is estimated to be 40% or . 4 per unit . Using this formula and 5/3,1,/KWHR (GS- 1 rate) , the following table was developed. These costs do not include fuel costs .

EFFECT OF WELLS A & B Wells A & B in Tahoe Donner are owned by the Tahoe Donner Property Owners Association . Their use during the period when the Tahoe Donner Golf Course is being watered should have a material effect on the cost of Golf Course watering . I propose that water pumped from Wells A & B be credited to the Golf Course as follows : The Golf Course has 5 meters ; some in zone #7 and some in zone #9 . Wells A & B are in zone 9 . The cost of pumping water from Wells A & B is essentially the same as zone i pumping costs . Therefore , water pumped from Wells A & B should be credited to the Golf Course meters giving first preference to those meters in zone 9 . Example : The Golf Course uses 1 , 000 , 000 gallons from zone 7 during a month and 500 , 000 gallons from zone 9 . During the same month Wells A & B produce 1 , 200 , 000 gallons . The billing would be : 1 . Meters in zone 9 would be billed for 500 ,000 9a ] long at zone 1 rates . --- � 2 . Meters in zone 7 would be billed for 700 , 000 gallons at zone 1 rates and 300 , 000 at zone 7 rates . SMALL COMMERCIAL USERS Among our 300+ commercial water customers there are many whose use of water is always less than the minimum ; i . e . offices and dry goods stores . For these customers , I recommend a special non-metered rate be established that would result in a fair return to the District and at the same time be fair to the customer . For simplicity and ease of billing , I recommend that the commercial rate for a 3/41, service be charged and a usage of 6 , 000 gallons be assumed . Thus the monthly bill for this class of customer would be $ 7. 98+pumpin.g costs for 6 , 000 gallons . In zone 1 , with a 9 mill fuel charge this would be : Basic charge $7 . 98 Base pumping . 55 Fuel charge . 09 TOTAL BILL $$ BOARD OF DIRECTORS JACK MARQUETTE Manager Don J.Westbrook,Chairman George Wurst,Vice Chairman Ron Sweet,Secretary Marjorie Adkerson,Director ' Dr.Robert W.Affeldt,Director TR UCKEE BO-• . -_--- ' ��.

Agent for the T.D.P.U.D. i THE ADDITION OF A TEMPORARY MOBILE UNIT TO PROVIDE NEEDED OFFICE SPACE FOR THE TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT .f- With the District' s present work load and number of office employees , it is necessary to utilize the District' s Board Room for office space and thereby making it unavailable for Board Meetings and other numerous activities of the District. Therefore, the District proposes to add a temporary mobile unit until the new office complex is constructed, presumably in 1985. r The District presently has 12 full time office employees and 11 employees working on field crews or as warehouse personnel. After the temporary mobile unit is erected and attached, one additional employee will be added to the office staff. The present office building provides approximately 2900 square feet of office space on the ground level and approximately 300 square feet upstairs. The remainder of the existing office building is used as a shop. The temporary mobile unit will provide an additional 800 square feet for a total of approxi- mately 4000 square feet of office space. Proposed parking spaces are as follows : Office Space = 4000 SF 200 SF = 20 Parking Spaces Warehouse, 11 employees = 11 Parking Spaces 31 Parking Spaces Total A total of 56 parking spaces could be provided, 19 feet long by 9 feet wide, however, the formal striping is not proposed. See site plan for arrangement. The existing parking lot is paved with asphaltic concrete and was repaired and repaved with an asphalt concrete overlay in 1978. 3� C K ASSOCIATES ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS - COPIES TO: 2060 PARK AVENUE OROVILLE.

The District is most anxious to proceed with the annexation in the most expeditious fashion. If Placer County can accomplish the annexation in a timely manner, then the District has no objections whatsoever. i The request for jurisdiction has been discussed several times j by the Board, However, it was anticipated that the request would come much earlier in the proceedings .
