RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. ?g>C-3 approving Encina Joint Advisory
Committee recommendation related to Encina 301h Waiver.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The Encina Joint Advisory Committee (JAC), acting on recom-
mendations from its Public Participation Committee (PPC),
has requested the member agencies to approve the following
policy related to the Encina 301h Secondary Treatment Waiver:
1. That Encina return to full secondary treatment
as soon as there is a reasonable, reliable method
of sludge reuse/disposal;
2. That JAC send a letter to the San Diego County
Board of Supervisors and meet with Supervisors
John MacDonald and Susan Golding to ask that the
County adopt a landfill moisture disposal priority
system giving precedence to municipal wastewater
sludge and allowing Encina to return to full
secondary treatment (allowing all Encina sludge
to be disposed of at Otay);
3. That Encina retain the current "waiver" permit,
rather than applying for a new National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
This would allow maximum flexibility to respond
to changing energy costs and/or treatment tech-
nologies while continuing with the more extensive
waiver-level ocean monitoring;
4. That JAC authorize continued PPC meetings as
necessary to address specific issues (waiver,
sol ids management, wastewater facilities expansion,
etc.) as they arise; and
5. That JAC authorize Encina to hire a part-time
Public Information Officer on an as-needed basis
(not to exceed $15,000 per year) for FY 1987/88
to prepare press releases, information for dis-
tribution to the general public, and reports as
requested by the General Manager.
These recommendations are consistent with the intent of
previous Council actions related to the waiver issue.bo

FISCAL IMPACT
Relinquishment of the waiver will increase operating costs
at Encina which will result in increased user fees. Approval
of a part-time Public Information Officer at $15,000 would
be paid for partially by Carlsbad.
Interim cost impacts will be subject to further review at
submittal of the Encina 87-88 Fiscal Budget.
