Attention: Mr. Richard Ambrose, City Manager
Gentlemen:
The Tri-Valley Wastewater Authority is beginning the environmental review process for
providing additional wastewater disposal capacity for the; communities in the Amador,
Livermore and Southern San Ramon valleys. The Authority's Board of Directors at its
organizational meeting held on March 24, 1986, authorized the formation of an
environmental review advisory committee to assist in the environmental review process.
The Board requested that an invitation be extended to your agency to provide either an
elected official or a senior staff person to represent your agency on this committee.
Please acknowledge this invitation and indicate your agency's designated representative
by return mail to my attention by April 18, 1986.
For background purposes, the Tri-Valley Wastewater Authority (TWA) is a public agency
formed in March, 1986 by a Joint Powers Agreement between Alameda County, the Dublin
San Ramon Services District and the City of Pleasanton.
The Dublin San Ramon Services District, on behalf of the three agencies, contracted in
August, 1983, with Brown and Caldwell, consulting engineers, for the preparation of a plan
for wastewater reclamation for the San Ramon Valley, and in December, 1983, with
CH2M-Hill, consulting engineers, for the preparation of a wastewater management
planning study. The planning efforts were required to identify the most desirable and
cost-effective plan to provide wastewater treatment, transmission and disposal facilities
with adequate capacity for future needs. The agencies have received the foregoing
studies and plans and have determined that the public interest, convenience and necessity
require the development of one or more projects consistent with said plans.
The purpose of the Authority shall be to continue and expand the above-described planning
efforts, select a project or projects implementing such plans, perform necessary
environmental reviews, arrange required financing, acquire property, design and construct
a project or projects and provide for management, operation and maintenance of such
project or projects.
