The Board of Directors
Truckee Donner Public Utility District
Box 309
Truckee, Ca 95734
Dear Fellow Directors:
Over the weekend I received some TDPUD Board information in the mail.
Among the materials was a copy of a September 100 1979 letter from the
Manager to Mr. Steven Williamson of the State Clearinghouse enclosing a
copy of a resolution purported to have been adopted by the Board at the
September 5 meeting regarding the Notice of Determination on the Airport
Well Water Transmission Main.
The TDPUD Board never saw a draft of this resolution and never reviewed
Its contents. No draft resolution was presented at the September 5 meeting
for the Board's consideration by the Manager, the Counsel, or the Engineer.
The Chairman simply asked after the motion to file the Notice of Determination
was made that it be by resolution number 7933s which the maker of the motion
agreed to.
Attached to this letter to you is a verbatim transcript of this action,
which I prepared from my tape of the September 5 meeting.
You will note that the resolution which was executed by the President of
the Board, and attested to by the Manager/Clerk, and certified by the Deputy
Clerk, contains information not included in the motion as well as precise
Information which was never reported to or considered by this Board at the
September 5 or any other meeting.
The resolution number 7933 sent to the State Clearinghouse is a fabrication
which goes way beyond the authorization in the motion passed by a majority
of the Board.
I am gravely concerned that Officers of this Board have exceeded their
ministerial function in the execution, attestation, and certification of
a false document.
V truly yours

VERBATIM TRANSGRIPTION.
EXCERP FROM SUTTON RECORDING OF
SEFrEMBER 5, 1979 TDPUD BOARD MEETING
Board action re Notice of Determination
on Airport Well Water Transmission Main
SUTTON: . . . I don't want to stop it. I want this Board to control the
amount
SEYMOUR & GRUMER: unintelligble comments
SUTTON: I beg your pardon?
HUBER: I move the question.
SUTTON: Well, there hasn't been a motion.
HUBER: Okay. I move that the Negative Declaration - Notice of Determination
of the Negative Declaration - be filed with the County Clerk with the
County of Nevada, and in view of the positive impacts of the line,
which in my view, fax out weigh any imaginary or potential negative
impacts, that the growth inducement potential, which is only someplace
out there - we don't know whether it's there or not - is and will be
addressed in several other documents, and we don't need to say the
same things 50 million times at great expense to the rate-payers of
this District.
CHAIRMAN: Before the Chair asks for a second, could I ask that that be done
In a resolution, 7933t adopting the Notice of Determination and
directing filing of same, for the Airport Well Transmission Main
HUBER: I so move.
..., CHAIRMAN: and related facilities
HUBER: I so move.
CHAIRMAN: . . as the direct title.
HUBER: Thirty-three.
CHAIRMAN: Thirty-three. Chair will ask for a second.
KUTTEL: I second the motion. . .
There was disposition of a question of possible conflict of interest, but no
further discussion of the contents of the resolution to be number 7933• There
was a roll call vote on the motion (3 yes. 1 no, 1 absent) to file the Notice
of Determination, and a for-the-record statement after the vote was recorded.

5. SEWER ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 5
The protest hearing of September 11 was conducted at the
school building and continued as previously indicated to you
until October 9, 1979. There was some questions raised by
members of the Armstrong Tract as to why they were being
assessed for water and should not the improvements to the
water system be carried and financed by the entire District
at large. There was concern expressed also about the
quality of maintenance that the system was receiving in the
vicinity of the persons protesting. The Armstrong residents
I believe are going to request District representation at the
town hall type meeting to be held at 7 : 30 P.M. , September 25,
1979.
6. TOUPS CORPORATION
Enclosed as pages 7 thru 16 are the letters that were received
from Toups Corporation concerning the Prosser Well and the
proposed Well Standards for your District. These are the
letters that were discussed during the questioning of the
engineering bill during your September 5 meeting.
7. WEST RIVER STREET LINE EXTENSION
Don Toomey has previously submitted to the District improvement
plans for the extension of the West River Street water main
that was constructed by the West River Street Assessment
District. Some time back, you will recall that the District
committed to pay the oversizing from S" to 12" diameter for
the main in question. Mr. Toomey at the present time would
like to install the main in accordance with the District
approved plans and standards and then have the District conduct
a special assessment proceedings for the acquisition of the
line as installed. By so doing, Mr. Toomey can bond the
improvements and relieve the heavy financial obligation of
extending the line past non-participating owners . Owner
participation on behalf of Mr.Hendrix can also be forced by
the acquisition proceedings , if the Board so desires.

Re: Truckee Donner Public Utility District
Dear Clarence:
Enclosed for your information and use is the Nevada County
Sheriff's Department Report covering the destruction of the
pump enclosure at South Side Well No. 2.
The destroyed structure as it now exists, in gay opinion,
constitutes an attractive nuisance and Increases the potential
exposure to injury and litigation and therefore should be
I c learned up at the very earliest opportunity.
The specifications provide that you roust protect the property
and the property will be covered under your insurance during
that period of time that you have jurisdiction over the work. ..
I am convinced that you can and will recover the cost of
reconstruction from those persons responsible for the damage.
However, in the interim period of time it is your responsibility
F to. accomplish the reconstruction.
I' Would you Please provide me with a schedule of the proposed
reconstruction effort. The South Side area of the Truckee
Donner Public Utility District is dramatically deficient in
water source. It is essential that the South Side Well No; 2
be placed on line at the earliest possible date.
Very truly yours,

Dear Dan:
1 With respect to the Prosser Well , I have completed my review of
the literature and data you provided me . My analysis is as
follows :
1 . Because of the unconfined nature of the sediments
penetrated by the well and because petroleum
products are lighter than water, the Prosser_
Well ' s existence does not pose any additional
threat to the groundwater reservoir that might
be due to leakage from the high pressure petro-
leum line .
Downward percolating petroleum products , resulting
from a leak, would not penetrate the unconfined
water table to any greater extent because of the
existence of the well . Even if the well ' s opera-
tion was continued after the leak, which is doubtful,
there is no hydraulic condition that would drive
the lighter-than-water petroleum products down
hole into the deeper portions of the groundwater
reservoir . These products would rest upon the
surface of the water table . The hydrocarbon
materials might tend to disperse vertically
through difussion within the cone of depression.
This would not occur if the well were shut down
in the event of a leak . Even if the well con-
tinued operation after a leak, no significant
increase in reservoir contamination would result,
in my opinion.
There is a set of conditions that would result in
more contamination directly attributable to the
well . If the sanitary seal does not extend to
the water table (or the casing above the water
table is corroded to such an extent as to allow
downward percolating fluids to enter the well) ,

then the well ' s existence would accentuate the
rate and extent of petroleum contamination,
provided that the shallow strategraphic units
would normally have functioned as aquitards ,
thus preventing or substantially inhibiting
the downward migration of the petroleum. The
strategraphic units do not, however, act as
impervious materials and the sanitary seal
probably extends into the water table . (The
water table appears to be about 40 feet below
ground surface and a sanitary seal in a
properly constructed well should be at least
50 feet in length. ) Thus , the necessary set
of conditions do not appear to exist that
would attribute increased pollution via the
well .
2 . The history of siesmic activity of the general
area of the Prosser Well is so great that the
petroleum pipeline must be considered as
potent—Lally rupturable , t us , the we s
nearness to t e pipeline makes it quite
vulnerable—to contamination.
3 . Because of the proximity of the well to the
pipeline (about 60 feet) , the well sHoulT not
F-F—Used for potable purposes .
If a leak in the pipeline occurred in the
vicinity of the well , the lack of impervious
geologic stratum would allow the foreign
fluids to migrate downward to the water table
E and along to the surface of the cone of de-
pression until the material enters the well
casing. Thus , substantial contamination, for
potable purposes , would result.
4 . If there is a need for a monitoring well in
this area of the groundwater reservoir, the
Prosser Well could e use d For this purpose
without posing additional threat to t e
groundwater reserves from a pipeline rupture .
In conclusion , I recommend that the well be abandoned for potable
uses and consideration should be given to conversion of the pro-
duction well to a monitoring well .

By PRC Toups Corporation, 5/18/79
14.15 Public Water Supply Well Ratings - Each public water supply
i well that is subject to these standards shall be rated in accordance
with the p ovisions set forth herein, both for the initial rating and
the long t rm rating.
A. nitial Rating - The initial rating shall follow immediately
the well development as provided in Section 14.17 of these standards
and shall a based on a step drawdown pump test to be conducted prior
to the installation of a permanent pump. The step drawdown test shall
consist of no less than three stages of pumping for a minimum of one
hour per s age. The initial rating shall be the result of an analysis
of the tes pump data, the well log and geological report as specified
in Section 14.08 of these standards and shall be presented to the District
in report form together with appropriate supporting data. The initial
rating shall be based on the specific capacity and maximum safe drawdown
s determined by the procedures detailed in Appendix _
B. -ong term Rating - Long term well rating shall be based upon
a continuois production experience of no less than one year (see Appendix ).
Daily records of water levels, pumping rates, pumping duration and
production shall be collected and evaluated by the District to arrive
at the long term rating.

APPENDIX
WATER WELL TESTING AND RATING PROCEDURES
A water well is tested to obtain information about the performance
and efficiency of the well . The result is usually reported in terms
of the yield, the observed drawdown, and the calculated specific capacity.
These data give a measure of the productive capacity or initial rating
of the completed well.
The best method available for determination of the capacity of a well
is the step-drawdown test. The step-drawdown test is a controlled
test at various pumping rates which allows determination of the true
pumping level in the well for various pumping rates, and also allows
for determination of proper completion of ell development.
During the surging and cleaning stages of aell development, the well
is overpumped. This pumping rate is an in ication of the maximum capacity
for that well . To conduct the step-drawdo n test, a minimum of three
pumping levels are selected between zero and the overpumping rate.
At each pumping level , the well is pumped until the drawdown stabilizes.
After stabilization, the well is pumped at each constant rate for a
minimum of one hour and usually for three o four hours per step.
During each pumping step, measurements are made of the pumping rate
and drawdown from the static water level .
2 ? =,
Refer to Figure 1 for a graphical presentation of the measurements
related to pumping tests.
From information obtained during the step-drawdown test, the initial
rating on capacity of a well is determined. The specific capacity
of a well is defined as its yield per unit of drawdown, usually expressed
as gallons per minute per foot of drawdown. Dividing the yield by
the drawdown, each measured at the same time, gives the value of the
specific capacity. For instance, if the pumping rate is 200 gpm and
the drawdown is found to be 20 feet, the specific capacity of the well
is 10 gpm per ft of drawdown at the time the measurements are taken.
Occasionally at higher pumping rates the specific capacity will drop
indicating turbulent flow. If the specific capacity shows a significant
variation between the three stages, the value closest to the anticipated
pumping rate that the water agency will use should be utilized. The
initial rating of the well would then be the specific capacity times
" the maximum possible drawdown for the existing pump installation.
The maximum drawdown is the difference between static water surface
elevation and the lowest practical pumping water level in the well.
This is determined by evaluating the following factors:
1) the static water level elevation during a high demand period,
usually summer time;

2) the elevation of the top of the perforations or well screen;
these should be fully submerged; and
3) the elevation of the pump intake; this should be fully
submerged with a safety submergence of 10 feet above the
intake.
1
The resulting capacity determination is the maximum amount that the
well can deliver over a sustained period to time, usually during the
maximum monthly demand period. These data, including system pumping
heads, should also be used to select a pump and motor.
If the installed pump and motor, including system pumping heads, have
capacity to deliver the initial well capacity amount, then this is
the initial rating of well capacity. If the pump and motor, including
system pumping heads does not have the ability to deliver the quantity
determined by the maximum drawdown method, the well is "equipment limited"
and its capacity is what it can deliver.
Initial capacities are generally expressed in gpm. Long term ratings
are usually expressed in AF/yr and are always less than the initial
rating multiplied by number of minutes in a year and converted to AF.
The smaller long term capacity results from: (a) wells are seldom
pumped continuously, but in response to a varying seasonal demand;
and, (b) continuous long term extraction operation would probably result
4 - '
r
in greater than expected water table lowerings or drawdowns. The long
term rating is, therefore, usually determined from operating experience.
Thus, initial ratings are used to assess the well 's ability to meet
short term peaking demands (peak - hourly, daily and monthly) while
the long term rating is used to assess the wells contribution to annual
water requirements of an agency.

Truckee, California 95734
Dear Mrs. Sutton:
At last night's PUD Board Meeting, you began reading a letter regarding the
Board' s adoption of Resolution No. 7933. Since the Board's direction was to move
on to the Engineer's Report, I ruled you out of order and requested the letter
be attached to the minutes of the meeting - the Directors could read it on their
own time. Also prefacing the attempted reading was your question to me as to
where Resolution No. 7933 came from. That question was not answered then, but
will be answered now. It came from Mr. Cook.
Now that I have read your letter, I have the following comments to make:
1. I suggest you go back and listen to your tapes again - to the entire
one-hour discussion of the topic. You will hear Mr. Cook discuss the
various topics contained in Resolution No. 7933.
2. I suggest you look through your stack of papers since a copy of the
Resolution was handed out to all Directors at the September 5th meet-
ing. I have mine! (A copy has been attached) .
3. I suggest you review your own transcription attached to your September
17th letter. Look closely at my comments as Chairman. First of all,
after Director Huber's motion I asked that it be done in Resolution
form - 7933 - and indicated the title to be "Adopting the Notice of
Determination and directing filing of same for the Airport Well trans-
mission Line." Director Huber then said, "I so move," followed by my
addition to the title - "and related facilities." My next comment
even says - "as the direct title." (The only word that is different
in my statement from the actual title of Resolution 7933 is the word
"well" instead of the word "water," an error I remember making.)
Since the title did not appear on the September Sth agenda, I had to
be reading from my copy which was, in fact, in' front of me at that
time. Your transcription proves this!
4. You have also accused the Board of taking action without seeing the
Resolution. This is untrue.
5. You have called the Resolution a "fabrication which goes beyond the
authorization in the motion." Again, the statement is not true.
6. You call the Resolution a false document. Untrue.

7. Furthermore, you have made some very serious accusations against me,
the Manager and the Deputy District Clerk claiming we exceeded our
ministerial functions. These accusations have no basis of fact.
Therefore, I demand a written and public apology to me, Mr. Seymour and
r Ms. Craig for your unwarranted and unjustified attack against our actions, which
were legally done by Board direction and which are done in the best interests
of this community.
In addition, Mrs_ Sutton, your attack against me, the Manager and the Deputy
District Clerk seems to be the culmination of your attempts to thwart the con-
struction of the Airport Transmission Line. Your effectiveness as a Director
on this Board now appears to be in serious doubt_ Whether you realize it or not,
questions have been arising in this community as to your ability to serve this
Board in the best interest of the people you represent.
Therefore, I suggest you consider resigning your position as a Director on the
Truckee Donner Public Utility District Board in the best interest of this com-
munity.
