Hd «3£cr . C. Atty.^ Mgr.lPj Carlsbad Wastewater Reclamation Feasibility Study Lake Calavera Hills Statement of the Matter In an effort to provide the information necessary to expedite the 'proposal to provide wastewater reclamation facilities for his proposed development, Mr. Roy Ward of Lake Calavera Hills has proposed to finance a Carlsbad sub-regional wastewater reclamation study. This study would provide valuable information as to the suitability and location of potential wastewater reclamation facilities within the City of Carlsbad. This information would be valuable not only to Mr. Ward, but to the City in establishing a planning process for siting and location of other potential wastewater reclamation facilities. Exhibits Staff Memorandum of August 23, 1977 Letter of August 18, 1977 to Mayor from Roy Ward Letter of July 22, 1977 "from R°Y Ward 1"° Dennis O'Leary of Lowry & Associates Recommendation That City Council accept the offer of Mr'. Roy Ward, as stated in his letter of August 18, I977, with the exceptions as outlined in Staff Memorandum of August I977, and that Staff be authorized to-negotiate the agreement with Mr. Ward and return it to Council for ratification. 30, Council action 9-13-77 The Council accepted the offer made by. Lake Calavera Hills in letter dated August 18, 1977, with the modification as recommended by staff set forth in Memorandum dated August 30, 1977 from the Public Works Administrator to the City Manager. X'.", August 18, 1977 The Honorable Mayor Robert Frazee City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Dear Mayor Frazee: This letter constitutes a request by Lake Calavera Hills Associates to fund on behalf of and for the City of Carlsbad, a study of secondary treatment sewer facility potential and waste water reclamation for Carlsbad and its sphere of influence. We respectfully request that the City Council instruct the City Manager and the Public Works Director to prepare a scope of work study along the lines as those presented by us to Lowry & Associates adding any relevant areas of study that they would see fit to include. This study would be performed for the City of Carlsbad with the supervision of the Public Works Director. It is our belief that if a decision on Lake Calavera Hills' pro-, posal for waste water reclamation and secondary treatment facility is to be a valid one made in the best long-range interests of the City, this study must be completed now in order to have a basis for discussion and decision. We would recommend that the study be performed by Lowry & Associates who, firstly, want to perform the study and, secondly, can do it now, in a timely manner and, thirdly, in the opinion of most authorities are as qualified as any firm in the state. The conditions under which we are willing to fund this study are as fol1ows : 1. Lake Calavera Hills negotiates the contract for the study (subject to approval of the City Manager and Public Works Di rector), 2. The study be performed by Lowry & Associates with Dennis O'Leary as the consultant in charge. .

That the study begin promptly and be completed in no more than 45 days. 4. That the Staff move forward rapidly on the certification of the supplemental EIR for Lake Calavera Hills as a tool to use to: a. Submit immedi ately to the Regional Water Quality Control Board for a water discharge permit based on the general ^proposal in the Lake Calavera Hills Feasibility Study known as Alternative #9 (the reasons for this is to begin the processing time for the permi t'.w.hi chi s '.usual ly 120 days). In summary, Lake Calavera Hills Associates believes that this study is essential to having enough data available for the Council to make a logical and reasonable decision on waster water reclamation in Carlsbad. We believe it is important to Lake Calavera Hills, but is probably more important to the City of Carlsbad. Carlsbad can take the lead in the area of reclamation and conser- vation of resources by moving forward at this time at no expense to the City.
