Minutes of September 19, 1973 meeting were approved as submitted.
2. Operations and Maintenance Reports
Mr. Oldsen reported that San Marcos & Vista flows were up for the
month of September, possibly due to start of school. Burroughs
effluent continues to meet the established requirements.
Significant items included:
a) September 1973 sewage flow was 6.3 MGD, which is 1.3 MGD above
the September 1972 flows.
b) The operation and maintenance costs for September were within
the prorated budget.
3. Review of Existing and Projected Flows of Participating Agencies
Two of the participating member agencies, SMCWD and LCWD, again
did not provide the required information for the month of September,

4- Progress Report on Construction of the 1972 Enlargement of Encina
Water Pollution Control Facility and Extension of Ocean Outfall
The sedimentation tank excavation is down to grade at present. Some
excavation work has been done on Phase IIA at the Encina Facility
in anticipation that the negotiations for construction will be
successful. Construction on the ocean outfall has been held up due
to labor difficulties and weather problems, but will commence this
week.
5. Progress Report on Interim Chemical Treatment Investigation
Approximately $5,600 worth of equipment ($20,000 budgeted) is on
order. No further progress from last month.
6. Preliminary Presentation of Proposed Water Reclamation Project
Concerning a Portion of Encina Effluent and Disposal of Treated
Industrial Waste via the Encina Ocean Outfall to Serve the
Projected Oil Refinery.
Mr. Dennis O'Leary introduced Bruce Bean who gave a presentation
explaining the operation of a proposed oil refinery, to be called
the Macario Independent Refinery. The refinery could utilize
about 2200 GPM of effluent from the Encina Plant, reclaiming the
water for the operation. After use at the refinery, the effluent
would then be put directly into the outfall, first being treated to
meet the EWPCF specifications, without the necessity of being
routed through the Encina Plant a second time. The plant would
also require about 1200 GPM of fresh water. Mr. Oldsen suggested
that the staff be authorized to work with representatives of
Macario on any problems arising from the installation of the
refinery. A motion to that effect (Mahr-Jerrell) was passed.
7. Progress Report on Proposed Phase IIA Enlargement
The Sixth Supplement to the Basic Agreement has been approved by
. each Council or Board of Directors and specifications and plans
will be ready by the end of the week. Signed agreements are still
forthcoming from San Marcos. A complete copy of each agreement,
with all signatures, will be sent to each agency, when all signed
agreements have been received by the County. A permit from the
Coastal Commission will be forthcoming by October 19, 1973.
8. Discussion of Proposed Seventh Supplement Agreement for Phase III
Enlargement
After much discussion, a motion was passed (McKay-Dominguez) that
the proposed 7th Supplement be revised to include full voting rights
for Leucadia and Encinitas with ownership for all six agencies to be
equal to capacity rights in unit I. Mr. Pressman suggested that this
supplement be reviewed by each agency so that a draft can be brought
to the next meeting.

9. Report on Progress made by Brown & Caldwell on Preliminary Engineer-
ing Portion of Phase III Enlargement Contract
Eric Mische of Brown & Caldwell presented a report on the progress
of the preliminary engineering of Phase III enlargement with tables
comparing 3 different methods of calculating grant eligibility,
distribution of costs, and allocation of Federal-State grants and
local funding. Following a lively discussion, Mr. Oldsen suggested
that the report be studied in depth by each agency for feedback at
a later date. A staff meeting was set for Friday, October 26, at
2:00 P.M. to discuss the input from each agency.
10. Review of Proposed Agreement (Third Supplement to Leucadia Interim
Agreement) to Permit Leucadia to Pump Increased Flow of Raw and
Treated Sewage to Encina Water Pollution Control Facility
Dick Hanson of LCWD requested that the proposed agreement to permit
Leucadia to pump increased flow of raw and treated sewage to the
Encina Plant be revised and redrafted and sent out to each agency
for a final vote at the next meeting. The agreement is to include
four items, as listed in the minutes of the last meeting, as
follows: 1. a booster pump, to be purchased and installed by LCWD,
is to be installed in the existing temporary force main; 2, the
capacity of the force main is not to exceed 1.25 MGD; 3. the first
.750 MGD is to be treated; and 4. the balance of effluent is to be
screened to remove solids. The temporary system will be in use
until July 1974, or when Phase IIA is on-line.
11. Set Date for Next Meeting
The next meeting was set for Wednesday,.November 21, 1973, at
9:00 A.M. at the Encina Plant.
