The members debriefed staff on the August 22 Directors Workshop. Before making the presentation to the Board in September, the colors and highlights on the alternatives chart should be changed. Staff will be making a recommendation and requesting that the Directors determine the preferred alternative. The CEQA process considers all of the alternatives. There is a dilemma because of the timing of the OCWD's GWR EIR process. The impacts of this project must be Geary understood by the Directors. Mr. McIntyre indicated that we can ask the OCWD to slow down their process, which is three months ahead of our CEQA process. Staff was directed to get the legal counsels of both agencies to address CEQA conformity and report back next month. Consultants from both agencies should also be meeting. Staff was encouraged to make a strong recommendation. The draft agenda report should be sent to the Ad Hoc Committee members for review before including it in the September agenda package.

Minutes of the Combined Steering/Ad Hoc Committees Meeting Page 3 July 29, 1998 (9) STEERING COMMITTEE DISCUSSION ITEMS (Items A-D) C. Biosolids Disposal in Kern Countv Blake Anderson explained the activities of staff pertaining to the issues of concern expressed by the Board of Supervisors of Kem County. To address the concems, the Supervisors decided in July to develop an ordinance that includes monitoring, reporting, and inspection of the biosolids land application program. Kern County staff was directed to prepare a report on Class B biosolids and costs to repair the roads that have been damaged by the biosolids haulers. District's staff, as well as staff from Los Angeles County Sanitation District and the City of Los Angeles, has been working with Kem County to develop a plan to address the concerns, including paying a fair share for the road repairs. Additional fees may be included in the ordinance in the future, to pay for a Kern County on-site inspection program. The Supervisors also expressed concern about providing early education on the program, to help maintain public confidence in the use of biosolids. One of the growers has suffered crop losses for two seasons after applying our biosolids. This is the first instance of this occurrence. Soil testing will be done to try to determine what is causing the loss. However, a proposal has been made to reimburse the grower for the loss. Our share (about 80% of the total) will be split 50/50 with Pima Gro, the hauling contractor. Others would reimburse the balance. Mike Moore, Acting Director of Technical Services, Layne Baroldi, and others from LACSD and the City of LA have been meeting with the fanners who apply the biosolids. There was some discussion about developing a reserve (insurance)fund to address problems in the future. This could be in the torn of an additional charge added to the per/ton disposal fee. Al this time, 80% (about 150,000 tons)of our biosolids are trucked to Kem County. The remainder is trucked to Riverside or King Counties. The biosolids applied in Kern County make up 5% of the total fertilizer needs of the area. Director Debay questioned the status of the state-wide biosolids EIR. This is underway, and is a two-year effort. It will set the stage for biosolids disposal into the next century. Staff requested no action by the members of the Steering Committee. However, if disposal costs are affected, the matter will be presented to the working committees. Action Item: Blake will prepare a report for the General Manager's August Letter to the Board. A. Settlement Agreement with Operating Industries, Inc. Superfund Site Mike Moore gave the background on this dump site, which was active between 1975 and 1982. During that time, the District hauled about 29,000 gallons of oil, water and sewage to the site. EPA has designated the property a'superfund' site, and it is estimated that cleanup costs will run about $600 million. EPA offered a diminimus settlement as a Tier 1 participant. Payment of the settlement ($100,000)would remove the District from any liability. A 5% discount would be allowed if there was no challenge to the lawsuit. The staff recommendation to accept the settlement offer is on tonight's Board agenda. Minutes of the Combined Steenng/Ad Hoc Committees Meeting Page 4 July 29, 1998 B. Staff Attendance at Committee Meetings Jean Tappan, on behalf of the working committees secretaries, asked that the Directors consider moving the committee meetings to the Board Room to provide more seating for attendees other than committee members and involved staff. The members of the committee decided to keep the meetings in Conference Room A/B and provide additional seating separate from the tables for those whose attendance is not required. D. Discussion re DART Presentations At the General Manager's request, this item was deferred to a future meeting. (10) REPORT OF THE AD HOC COMMITTEE CHAIR Chairman George Brown did not make a report. (11) COMBINED STEERING AND AD HOC COMMITTEES DISCUSSION ITEM A. Revisions to Strategic Plan Schedule Jim Herberg, Planning Engineer, reviewed the draft quarterly schedule. He recommended a delay of two months to the overall schedule to take another look at the effectiveness of the ballast around the outfall. This will result in some additional costs to extend the consultant's contract. With the delay, final adoption of the EIR will be in July 1999. The Board Workshop on Saturday, August 22, will review the PAC-, staff- and consultant- recommended alternatives and a straw vote will be taken. At the Combined Steering/Ad Hoc Committees meeting on August 26, the members will be polled to see if they are ready to make a decision on the preferred option. At the Regular Board meeting of September 23, a vote will be taken on the preferred alternative to include in the Draft EIR. There were no revisions to the proposed schedule changes. Before convening in Closed Session, the Directors agreed to delay the Closed Session item on the General Manager's performance evaluation to August. (12) CLOSED SESSION The Committee convened at 6:06 p.m. in Closed Session, pursuant to Sections 54956.9(a)(2) and 54957, to discuss one item of significant exposure of litigation against the District, and the status of Supervisory and Professional (SPMT) bargaining unit contract negotiations. Minutes of the Closed Session are on file with the Board Secretary. The minutes of a future Board Meeting will report on the actions when they are approved. At 6:15 p.m., the Committee reconvened in regular session. l Minutes of the Combined Steering/Ad Hoc Committees Meeting Page 5 July 29, 1998 (13) OTHER BUSINESS, COMMUNICATIONS OR SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA ITEMS, IF ANY Dates for the November and December Board of Directors Meetings were confirmed as November 18, 1998 and December 16, 1998.
