SANTA MARGARITA WATER MASTER Wayne Gherring informed the Board that he will not be able to state a position on the Water Master question until after reviewing the results of the base-wide water study being conducted at Camp Pendleton, and primary results are expected July 31. Gordon Tinker stated that their attorney is going to proceed to make a filing to get a judge assigned to the case unilaterally. Mr. Thomas stated that Rancho California has no objection to the procedure of appointing a judge, but they want the matter to be given considerable thought. Concern was expressed about whether or not the Water Master should become involved in the quality as well as the quantity issue, particularly relative to "Live Stream Discharge." The Committee agreed that they should take a stand on this concept, but it would require some time and education. Mr. Tinker suggested putting some educational presentations on the Agenda, and Norm Thomas suggested inviting Ladin Delaney to get his ideas on Live Stream Discharge. George Buchanan explained to the Board the series of situations which led to the Metropolitan Water District's discharging of some 380 acre feet of water. Norm Thomas reported on the meeting at Rancho California Water District relative to starting the basin plan amendment process to consider all of the environmental problems and hydraulics of live stream discharge down the Santa Margarita River. UPDATE ON WATER QUALITY IN LOWER SAN LUIS KEY RIVER Jim Turner reported on the monthly testing of chlorides and total dissolved solids in the lower basin and the San Luis Rey River.
