April 2003 <br /> California Regional Water Quality Control Board, <br /> San Francisco Bay Region <br /> 1515 Clay Street, Suite 1400 <br /> Oakland, CA 94612 <br /> Re: Clean Water Revival Project <br /> Dear Regional Board: <br /> On March 21, 2000, your Executive Officer, Lawrence P. Kolb, approved a technical <br /> report that was required as a pre- condition to the implementation of Dublin San Ramon Services <br /> District's "DSRSD Clean Water Revival Project "Project The Project would have created <br /> a small -scale recycled wastewater project pursuant to Order 95 -159, producing tertiary- treated <br /> wastewater for injection into the Livermore Amador Valley groundwater basin. The City of <br /> Pleasanton and Alameda Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7 "Zone 7 <br /> objected to injection of the highly treated water into the groundwater basin because of the basin's <br /> role as a potable water supply for the region, and filed petitions for writs of mandate to overturn <br /> the Executive Officer's decision. On April 29 and May 21, 2002 the San Francisco Superior <br /> Court granted the petitions for writs of mandate, requiring the Board to set aside the Executive <br /> Officer's decision to issue approvals for the project and hold a hearing to consider the additional <br /> factors identified in the court's order and statement of decision, filed May 22, 2002. <br /> DSRSD requests that the Regional Board take no further action on the Project at this <br /> time, including holding any further hearings. DSRSD initiated the project primarily to provide <br /> needed wastewater disposal capacity, which will be available through the expanded LAVWMA <br /> facilities. As DSRSD no longer requires the project for wastewater disposal, DSRSD, as part of <br /> a settlement with the City of Pleasanton and Zone 7, has agreed to not to pursue any water <br /> recycling project that would involve direct injection of recycled water into any potable <br /> groundwater basin through recharge or injection wells or other specific facilities without first <br /> obtaining the approval of the legislative bodies of the City of Pleasanton and each of the agencies <br /> permitted to pursue recycling projects pursuant to Order 93 -159. DSRSD is, therefore, <br /> withdrawing its Project from any further Board review at this time. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Dublin San Ramon Services District <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
