The three alternate bids were taken because it was not known at the time if Chino Basin Municipal Water District would partici pate in the project.However,Alternate I may now be eliminated from consideration inasmuch as the Water District has advised that they will proceed with joint participation in the construc tion of the interceptor. The proposed concept for increasing the capacity,which has been approved by the State Water Resources Control Board subject to approval by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),would be accomplished by issuing a change order to the contractor to construct the larger diameter pipe line (Alternate III,l8~mgd). This would increase the pipe capacity by 122%at an additional cost to District No.2 of only approximately $l.Ll million or 22%,and provide a system to enable the optimum multiple use of major facilities to Improve environmental quality in the Basin, which is the largest self—contained natural drainage basin in Southern California.The State and Federal construction grant program wduld not share the additional cost. Director Finnell pointed out that members of the Environmental Protection Agency’s staff expressed concern that the larger pipe size might encourage population growth in the Southern California area which is contrary to existing Federal policy, and for this reason,EPA had reservations of approving the concept. Federal representatives have suggested that the District Board declare its intent with respect to increasing the capacity of the interceptor,following which EPA will further consider the proposal arid advise the Board of their decision in this regard. Following a report by the Director of Finance concerning the financing capability of the District to fund the cost of increasing the capacity of the Santa Ana River Interceptor,the Board entered into a general discussion of the proposal.It was then moved, seconded and duly carried: That the letter from the State Water Resources Control Board, dated August 2Lt,1972,approving the concept for increasing capacity of the Santa Ana River Interceptor,Contract No.2—1~4—l, be received and ordered filed;and, FURTHER MOVED:That the Board of Directors hereby declares Its intent to increase the capacity of the Santa Ana River Interceptor Sewer from Reclamation Plant No.1 to Katella Avenue,Contract No.2_lL~_l,as recommended by the General Manager,by issuance of a change order to the contractor Increasing the pIpe size proposed to be awarded under Alternate II (80 mgd)to Alternate III (18L mgd)subject to approval by the Environmental Protection Agency.
