MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: November 28 , 1989 SUBJECT: SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 15 COST SHARING OF NEW WELLS IN ZONE 2 Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors as the Board of Directors of Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 15 's APPROVE the District's participation in the cost of drilling two new water wells for the Zone 2 water system in the amount of $12, 000. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT This will expend $12, 000 of Sanitation District No. 15 Zone 2 money that is budgeted for re-drilling of water well No. 2 . These monies have been accumulated from water service fees. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND In 1975 Boyd Development Company constructed a water system to provide water service to the Willow Park Marina condominium project. The water system was accepted by Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 15 in 1978 and Zone 2 was established to provide separate funding and accounting for its operation. A yearly service fee is collected from each unit connected to the water system, a portion of which has been set aside to provide for drilling of 'new water wells in the event of failure of the existing wells. Zone 2 provides service solely to the Willow Park Marina condominium complex.

Attested NOV 2 8 1989 PHIL BATCHELOR, CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR By DEPUTY CLERK Board of Supervisors November 28, 1989 Page 2 III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND To relieve traffic congestion in eastern Contra Costa County, the County has proposed widening and lowering a portion of Highway 4 extending from the Willow Pass Road interchange in Concord to the Bailey Road interchange in Pittsburg. The lowering of Willow Pass grade for the project will require the excavation and grading of large quantities of material. As a result, this proposed activity would impact approximately two and one-half acres of wetlands. Currently, Highway 4 has a narrow median, thus feasible alternatives to impacting the wetland areas are not available. A preliminary delineation of the wetland areas within the proposed right-of-way has been conducted by WCC for Contra Costa County. The wetlands which would be impacted by the proposed project are potentially under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) , pursuant to their authority under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The regulations established under this law require a permit to conduct development activities in wetlands. In many instances, such as the Highway 4 project, the ACOE require a mitigation plan before granting a 404 permit. Thus, the purpose of the proposed scope of work is to develop a plan to mitigate the impact on wetlands in the proposed project area. The item was heard by the Transportation Committee. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Failure to approve a Consulting Services Agreement with WCC will result in a delay in project development, including environmental clearance. This delay could ultimately result in the loss of State funds for project construction.
