to-exceed $25,000. DPW staff closely monitors expenditures and projected the contract
maximum could be exceeded prior to the December 12, 2017 Board meeting. In order to
facilitate continued availability of bins for fire debris removal, the Interim Chief Administrative
Officer signed amendment 1 to the agreement on November 29, 2017, increasing the maximum
amount of the contract to$50,000 and extending the term of the contract to December 31, 2017

3.36 Ratification of Agreement with Sewerage Commission-Oroville Region for Disposal/Exchange of
De-Watered Sewage Bio-Solids and Landfill Liquids - For the last several years, the Department
of Public Works and Sewerage Commission-Oroville Region (SC-OR) have operated under a letter
agreement which established a formula of exchange for the disposal of Neal Road Recycling and
Waste Facility's(NRRWF)septage supernatant and SC-OR's water pollution control plant treated
bio-solids. A letter agreement between the Department of Public Works and SC-OR for FY 2017-
18 was signed by the Public Works Director in June 2017. The terms were the same as in the
Page 9
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-DECEMBER 12,2017
previous year and typically the net due to either party was very small as SC-OR would typically
receive only landfill liquids from the NRRWF up to the exchange amount. Recently SC-OR offered
to accept more liquids as the NRRWF commences with decommissioning the septage
impoundments. The final volume SC-OR can accept is yet to be determined, but it may be
possible for the NRRWF to dispose of up to four million gallons of septage liquids at SC-OR this
fiscal year. The liquid disposal rate is $0.085 per gallon, which amounts to $382,500 if the total
estimate is realized. The Department of Public Works requests ratification of the agreement
signed by the Public Works Director and authorization to pay invoices in accordance with the
rates listed in the agreement, in an amount not-to-exceed $382,500—action requested - RATIFY
AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE PAYMENT TO SC-OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RATES LISTED IN
THE AGREEMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $382,500. (Public Works)
3.37 Contract Amendment 2 with Synagro, Inc. for De-watering of Septage Biosolids at Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility - On June 16, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract
with Synagro, Inc., for removal of biosolids from the septage impoundments at the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility. Synagro, Inc. removed approximately 2,100 dry-tons during the
summer of 2016. A post-project pond survey was performed to determine the amount of
biosolids remaining in the primary pond. It was estimated 5,000 dry-tons remained. On January
10, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved contract amendment 1 for Synagro to remove
additional biosolids in the summer of 2017 on a "per dry-ton" basis for the remaining funds in
the contract. The total amount of the contract is $2,550,500. Synagro removed approximately
4,168 dry tons during the summer of 2017. The department and contractor tracked monthly
invoices and contract progress during 2017. However, upon final analysis, it was determined that
the contractor removed more biosolids than was previously estimated.Amendment 2 increases
the contract amount by $95,000 to account for the additional dry-tons removed for a not-to-
exceed amount of $2,645,500. An estimated 1,230 dry-tons remain in the primary
impoundments. Final decommissioning of the primary impoundment is anticipated to require
an additional two years to remove liquid wastewater from the impoundment and another year
to de-water remaining accumulated biosolids. This is all in anticipation of final closure of the
septage impoundment, in preparation for conversion to solid waste storage—action requested

3.42 Extension of the Program to Deliver Non-Project Water to California Water Service Company,
Oroville -California Water Service Company, Oroville (CWS) currently purchases a portion of its
water supply from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Historically, this water flowed
from the West Branch of the Feather River to the Miocene Canal and was ultimately delivered to
the CWS treatment plant on the Thermalito Powers Canal. This conveyance system produced
turbid and warm water, which was costly to treat into drinking water. CWS also purchased a
portion of its water supply from Butte County's Table A allocation from Lake Oroville and blended
this water with the PG&E-purchased water to improve water quality before it was treated. As a
State Water Project (SWP) Contractor, the County is eligible to convey non-project water
pursuant to Article 55 of their water supply contract with the State Department of Water
Resources(DWR). In 2014,the County entered into a letter agreement with the DWR to allow up
to 3,000 acre feet of the PG&E purchased water to be conveyed through the SWP facilities on an
annual basis as a pilot program which sunsets on December 31, 2017. Conveying the PG&E water
through Lake Oroville improves the water quality and reliability.The pilot program was a success
and all parties would like to continue the program for ten years with an option to renew for ten
additional years. An environmental review was completed for the extension and resulted in a
Negative Declaration determination. On November 14, 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted
Resolution No. 17-193 approving the Negative Declaration, which evaluated extending the
program through December 2027. Extending the program through December 2027 requires
entering into an agreement with DWR and amending the existing agreement with CWS—action
requested - APPROVE AGREEMENTS (2) AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water and

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:20 am-Summary of 2017 Housing Bills-On September 29, 2017,the Governor signed into law
a significant package of housing legislation that will have far-reaching consequences to cities and
counties in California. The 15 bills in the package deal with a broad range of issues and propose
a variety of potential solutions to deal with housing needs in the State.The package has six main
components: 1) Provides funding for affordable housing through fees, a State general obligation
bond, and tax credits; 2) Mandates changes to local planning and zoning laws to allow for easier
development of housing and affordable housing; 3) Streamlines the building application process
for housing; 4) Enforces housing laws through penalties and allows the Department of Housing
and Community Development to refer violations to the Attorney General's Office; 5) Requires
localities to submit an annual progress report on housing; and 6) Changes the State's Affordable
Housing Preservation Notice Law and adds noticing requirements.Some bills were implemented
immediately as an urgency measure. Most will take several years before being fully
implemented. The key piece of the package, the $4 billion housing bond, still needs to be
approved by California voters in November 2018. Over the coming months and years, staff will
bring recommendations to the Board on how to best implement the various bills — action
requested -ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (County Administration)
5.02 9:30 am—Water Well Destruction Fee-On October 24,2017,the Board requested that the Public
Health Department staff return at a future meeting to discuss the potential of lowering the
current Water Well Destruction Fee from $266 to $0. This request was based upon public
comment at the meeting, suggesting that a $0 fee may incentivize property owners to properly
destroy abandoned or non-functioning wells, thus promoting protection of groundwater. The
Public Health Department staff in the Environmental Health Division have reviewed historical
data regarding issued permits, and do not recommend lowering the fee, as there is no indication
at this time it would actually incentivize proper well destructions — action requested - HOLD A
PUBLIC HEARING AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (Public Health)
5.03 9:40 am - Adoption of Craig Access Road Interim Urgency Ordinance and Rescission of Board
Minute Order 79-346 - At the November 14, 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting, staff was
directed to schedule a public hearing and prepare an interim urgency ordinance temporarily
limiting the approval and construction of new development projects and the creation of new
parcels that result in additional vehicle traffic on Craig Access Road. Craig Access Road is a
California Department of Water Resources owned road that provides access to approximately
Page 13
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-DECEMBER 12,2017
214 Assessor Parcels. The proposed ordinance is an interim zoning ordinance adopted as an
urgency measure pursuant to State law that temporarily limits new development projects that
would likely result in the generation of additional vehicle trips to and from parcels of land that
rely on Craig Access Road as their legal access.The interim urgency ordinance would apply to all
parcels in Sections 25, 26,31,35,and 36 of Township 20 North, Range 5 East of the Mount Diablo
Base and Meridian for which it cannot be established that there is approved access and
traversable access to the parcel from roads other than Craig Access Road. Board of Supervisors
Minute Order 79-346 recognized Craig Access Road as a non-county maintained access road for
the purpose of satisfying requirements to provide access for approval of certificates of
compliance and approval of new development. Rescission of Minute Order 79-346 would mean
that Craig Access Road no longer satisfies Butte County requirements for traversable access to
parcels for the purpose of satisfying conditional certificates of compliance —action requested -
1) FIND PURSUANT TO SECTION 15061(B)(3)OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY
THAT ADOPTION OF THE INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE
EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT; 2)ADOPT THE INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE
