1. Minutes of November 21, 1973 meeting i
A correction to the minutes of the November 21, 1973 meeting

2. Proposed Macario Independent Refinery- Request for letter of
intention for use in EIR
Bruce Bean, o-f Macario, presented two different approaches to
disposal of refi-nery waste water to the Cc ittee. The first <
involved use of domestic water exclusively with the waste water to
be treated and disposed of directly into the Encina outfall. The
second involved use of domestic water and also reclaimed water from
the EWPCF with the waste water to be treated and disposed of, also
directly into the Encina outfall. After much discussion, the
committee passed a motion CChase-Dunne) stating that the request
of the Macario Independent Refinery for the JAC to provide a
letter approving in principle the disposal of refinery waste '
water, which will'meet the standards of the California Water
Quality Control Plan, through the Encina outfall,be granted, and
that the staff continue to work on details of such a concept.
A motion was also passed (Chase-Meyer) that the committee lean
towards the concept of using reclaimed water.
3... Operations and Maintenance Reports
Mr. Oldsen reported that the November flow is up«. Vista, Buena,
San Marcos, and Leucadia were up and Carlsbad down.
Significant items included:
a) November 1973 sewage flow was 6.395 which is .78 above
October, 1972 flows.
b) The operation and maintenance costs for November, 1973
were below the prorated budget.
k. Review of Existing and Projected Flows of Participating Agencies
This month the projected flows were all accounted for. It was
pointed out by Mr. Oldsen that according to projected total
flows we would be over our rated capacity in six months. At the
end of 12 months Vista would be over their capacity, if Phase II
is not completed within 12 months, but they would be close to
Phase II capacity, at that time.

5. Report of progress made on the construction of the 1972 Enlarge-
ment of Encina Water Pollution Control Facility and Extension of
Ocean Outfal1.
The construction ship will be gone by the end of the week. A
movie has been made of construction of the outfall which will
soon be in use.
6. Progress Report on interim chemical treatment investigation.
The concrete base for the ferric chloride tank is now poured.
The tank will be placed later this week. The pump and the
material are on hand and will be ready to go after the first
of the year.
7. Report on progress made on planning and preliminary engineering
for Phase III. .
The committee was informed that Brown and Ca1 dwell need the
population input promised by each agency. Also, Brown and
Caldwell will not be paid until the problems with Supplement
Number 7 are solved. Brown and Caldwell did the preliminary
engineering on good faith and connot be expected to proceed with-
out a contract. Vista has approved the supplement, but none
of the other agencies have done so. In order to facilitate '
acceptance of the 7th supplement by the agencies, a motion
(Chase-Mahr) changing Section 3, Engineering Services, page
6 1ine 7 of the seventh supplement to read if the former
are approved by the parties hereto, then It was felt
that this would remove any objections by San Marcos and Leucadia
to their approving the agreement.
8. Election of Chairman and Vice Chairman for 197^
«.
Mr. Stiles and Mr. Mahr were reelected as Chairman, and Vice-
Chairman respectively, by a unanimous vote. The motion was
made by Mr. Chase and seconded by Mr. Jerrel1.
9. Discussion of Progress made on Phase I I-A Enlargement Project
The contract has been signed by San Marcos. A preconstruction
meeting was held last Friday and there .will be a negative change
order because a less expensive baffle will be used in the grit
tank than promulgated on' the base bid. The on line date will be
300 days from date the contract was signed. However, Mr. Oldsen
anticipates problems with deliveries on metal goods and oil and
this may delay completion date.
10. Other Business
Mr. Kubota advised the Committee that the land immediately to the
south of the Plant is for sale and that they should consider
acquiring some of this land in the interests of future plant
expansion.
11. Set date for next meeting
