Project Issues
Water Right Transfers: Mark Marquis reported that all the applications were reviewed by the DOE for a short period of time. They provided a laundry list of questions. They requested that the transfers be withdrawn until the questions can be answered. The DOE offered to come out and do a walkthrough of all the sites and the changes. They want to get a visual idea of the changes. Mark Dunbar is the DOE staff person that will be doing the walkthrough. He indicated that he could do it anytime the week of July 29th. However the Conservancy board member, Don Phelps is only available on Thursday, Aug 1st as is Marc. Marc requested that one or two Commissioners be present. Commissioner Harris and Charlie Cruickshank offered to be available. Cleve Borth of the LWWU offered to be available to address the LWWU transfer issue. Marc contends that when the water rights were transferred from a private party to the LWWU the water right became a Municipal water right which protects them from relinquishment. The DOE contends that it is not. If not a Municipal, it is still protected by determined future development. Marc feels that he can get the DOE to come around with additional information. Marc pointed out that a Municipal water right must serve 15 or more connections which the LWWU water right does.
SEPA Addendum: Gwen Clear was informed by her Supervisor in Washington DC that you cannot add anything to the SEPA. Karen had contacted the DOE and did not get a response on how to handle the change. Gwen was given Karen Kornher’s number to resolve the issue.
Maria Meyer: The lawyer thanked us for Marc’s response and he also requested a copy of the wetland permit. Our wetland permit does not cover her wetland area. If Maria wants to add an additional pipe she will have to apply for her own wetland permit.
Forest Service Permit: We have not had a response on the tree harvesting issue. It is not pertinent for the permit. The cultural report has been submitted to the Colville Indians and they have 30 days to respond. We are still waiting for responses. Basically we are still in limbo as to the completion. Prindle of the USFS, Amelia’s replacement, is aware that we need the permit by the middle of August. Commissioner Klasell is concerned that we will not have the permit until November 2013 which could prevent putting the project out for bid in November.
DWSF Funding: Karen Klocke said that the announcement should be on the website soon. They have moved the application period to fall.

Carbonite Renewal: Bonnie will use the District Debit card to renew.
McCord Connection: Bruce will contact Mike Wilson of the DOH to find out if we can add another connection. If we get the go ahead, Mr. McCord will be sent a letter stating that he can connect if he pays the cost of connecting and any engineering costs.
Meter Reading Software: If we do need to get a new laptop, a Master Read employee will help with the transfer of the software.
Other Issues:
Charlie Cruickshank talked about the surplus equipment availability. He did not feel that he had the expertise to evaluate the available equipment.
Charlie talked about the Discharge Monitoring Report required by the DOE. It will probably involve turbidity measuring. They want a monthly report even though we have not started construction. More investigation needs to be done on what they want done. Commissioner Klasell emailed Karen at RH2 to find out what we need to do.
Commissioner Klasell moved to sign Resolution 2013-7-25 to raise the Commissioners Compensation to 114.00 per meeting as directed by Washington State Department of Financial Management affective July 1, 2013, Commissioner Harris seconded, passed.
Commissioner Harris moved to adjourn the meeting at 12:15 am, Commissioner Klasell seconded, passed.
