Truckee Sanitary District, the Tahoe Truckee Sanitation Agency and the Donner Summit Public Utility District 5.1 East County Wastewater MSR Preliminary Draft Local Agency Formation Commission of Nevada County 950 Maidu Avenue Nevada City, CA 95959 Phone 530-265-7180 or 888-846-7180 ... Fax 530-265-9862 Date: July 19, 2018 To: LAFCo Commissioners From: SR Jones, Executive Officer Subject: Commission Review of Preliminary Draft East County Wastewater Municipal Service Review Nevada LAFCo’s consultant SWALE, Inc., has prepared a draft of the East County Wastewater Municipal Service Review (MSR), and the Commission is now asked to provide direction to staff and the consultant to ready the draft for release to the public. The MSR reviews wastewater services as provided in eastern Nevada County. Service re- sponsibilities are handled by three separate agencies: the Truckee Sanitary District, the Tahoe Truckee Sanitation Agency and the Donner Summit Public Utility District. The Truckee Sanitary District and the Tahoe Truckee Sanitation Agency work in partnership as the former is responsible for sewer collection and conveyance while the latter handles treatment and disposal. The MSR process involves the Commission adopting written determinations on seven factors specified by statute: • Growth and Population Projections for the Affected Area • Location and Characteristics of any Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities • Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services • Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services • Status of and Opportunities for Shared Facilities • Accountability for Community Service Needs • Any Other Matter Related to Effective or Efficient Service Delivery The draft Municipal Service Review lists suggested written determinations and sphere boundary options for the Commission’s consideration for the Truckee Sanitary District, as Nevada LAFCo is the principal county LAFCo for the district and is therefore responsible for all sphere of influence actions for the agency. The chapters on the Tahoe Truckee Sanitation Agency and the Donner Summit Public Utility District are excerpted from the Placer LAFCo’s Municipal Service Review on the North Tahoe and Martis Valley, which is in the final stages of completion. Placer LAFCo is the principal county LAFCo for both agencies, and will therefore be responsible for all sphere actions. LAFCo law (Section 56430 (a)) requires a commission to conduct a service review of municipal services provided in the county or other designated area. Although the stated purpose of the MSR is to prepare and to update spheres of influence, Section 56430 (b) indicates an MSR should review all municipal services in the area subject to the study: In conducting a service review, the commission shall comprehensively review all of the agencies that provide the identified service or services within the designated geographic area. […] Page 2 Donner Summit Public Utility District serves the Soda Springs community, an area recognized by Nevada County as a Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community. LAFCo law calls for the Commission to be cognizant of DUCs and the provision of water, wastewater and structural fire protection services to those communities. At this time, LAFCo staff is requesting that the Commission review the draft MSR and give direction to staff and the consultant as to preparation of the public review draft. The public review draft will be circulated to the public and the subject agencies for a period of at least 30 days. The consultant will prepare written responses to comments or make appropriate modifica- tions to the draft, which would be presented to the Commission in final form at a public hearing tentatively scheduled for the Commission’s regular meeting on September 20, 2018.

The MSR discusses service delivery and efficiency, including an analysis for each of the following analytical factors: • Growth and population projections for the three affected areas; • Disadvantaged unincorporated communities; • Present and planned capacity of public facilities; • Financial ability of each agency to provide services; • Opportunities for shared facilities; • Accountability for government service needs; and • Any other matter related to service delivery as required by Commission Policy. The areas of description and analysis contain the essential operational and management aspects for the three service providers and together constitute a review of each provider’s ability to meet the service demands of the customers within their respective boundaries. Only wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services are considered in this MSR Update. These services are primarily provided to residents and visitors by the three special districts, in cooperation with Nevada County, Placer County, and the Town of Truckee. These agencies operate under “principal acts,” which govern the provision of one or more public services. Boundaries and spheres of influence (SOI) are determined by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) of each agency’s principal county (the county having the greater portion of the entire assessed value of all taxable property within the district, pursuant to Section 56066 of the Government Code). Several options for the Commission to consider when they next update the SOI for the Truckee Sanitary District are described in Appendix 1. Executive Summary 1-1 Eastern Nevada County – Wastewater Services DRAFT MSR Nevada County is considered the principal county for the Truckee Sanitary District, while Placer County is the principal county for the Tahoe-Truckee Sanitation Agency and the Donner Summit Public Utility District. Since Nevada LAFCo is the Principal LAFCO for the Truckee Sanitary District, this MSR also presents a written statement of conclusions, known as determinations, for this District. The key facts that support each determination are discussed in Chapter 3. 1.1 SUMMARY OF DISTRICTS The Truckee Sanitary District (TSD) and the Tahoe-Truckee Sanitation Agency (T-TSA) were last reviewed by Nevada LAFCo in a 2003 MSR called the ‘Eastern Nevada County Wastewater MSR.’ The Donner Summit Public Utility District (DSPUD) was last reviewed by Nevada LAFCo through an MSR in 2005.

These seven developments occupy 6,190 acres of federal land within the Eldorado National Forest and 54 acres of federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The proposed The Iowa Hill Development will be located in El Dorado County and will occupy 185 acres of federal land within the Eldorado National Forest. Due to the proximity of the Chili Bar Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2155) under licensee Pacific Gas & Electric Company(PG&E) located immediately downstream of the Upper American Project on the South Fork American River (and also under-going re-licensing), both projects were the subject of a collaborative proceeding and settlement negotiations. The current seven developments include Loon Lake, Robbs Peak, Jones Fork, Union Valley, Jaybird, Camino, and Slab Creek/White Rock. White Rock Powerhouse discharges into the South Fork American River just upstream of Chili Bar Reservoir. In addition to generation-related facilities, the project also includes 47 recreation areas that include campgrounds, day use facilities, boat launches, trails, and a scenic overlook.

  • The Last Decade of Research in the Tahoe-Truckee Area And
    TAHOE REACH REVISITED: THE LATEST PLEISTOCENE/EARLY HOLOCENE IN THE TAHOE SIERRA SHARON A. WAECHTER FAR WESTERN ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH GROUP DAVIS, CALIFORNIA WITH CONTRIBUTIONS BY WILLIAM W. BLOOMER LITHIC ARTS MARKLEEVILLE, CALIFORNIA The last decade of research in the Tahoe-Truckee area and surrounding High Sierra has provided clear evidence of early Holocene and perhaps latest Pleistocene human activity, probably coming immediately on the heels of the Tioga glacial retreat. In this discussion we summarize this research, and compare environmental proxy data and obsidian hydration profiles from high-elevation sites in Sierra, Placer, Nevada, El Dorado, Alpine, and Washoe counties, to suggest “big-picture” trends in prehistoric use of the Tahoe Sierra. The title “Tahoe Reach Revisited” is in reference to work by Robert Elston, Jonathon Davis, and various of their colleagues along the Tahoe Reach of the Truckee River – that section of the river from Lake Tahoe to Martis Creek (Figure 1). In the 1970s these researchers did the first substantive archaeology in the Truckee Basin, and developed a cultural chronology that has stood for 30 years without significant revision – not, as I’m sure Elston would agree, because it was completely accurate, but because no one offered any meaningful alternative. Instead, archaeologists working in the Tahoe Sierra and environs – even as far away as the western foothills – simply compared their data to the Tahoe Reach model to date their sites: “Lots of big basalt tools? It must be Martis.” But this is not a paper about Martis. My focus instead is on a much earlier period, which Elston and his colleagues called the Tahoe Reach Phase.
