By Atmospherics Incorporated letter of October 1, 1998, copy attached, Atmospherics Incorporated is offering the 1998-99 program on the same terms of the 1997-98 program. I recommend we give Atmospherics the go ahead for November 1, 1998 with extension option for May 1999. 2. By Atmospherics Incorporated letter dated September 9, 1998, Tom Henderson notes the Washington D.C. types are trying again to limit our efforts within the Wilderness areas. Most of our target area is either National Park or Wilderness. Tom's letter and a letter from Senator Feinstein are attached. I have requested Tom to draft up a letter for us which each can use as a pattern--if it is not too late. Since this is U.S. Forest Service interpreting ESA, I think a letter to our representatives and the U.S.F.S., Department of Agriculture are in order until we are notified that the eggheads have retreated.

Box 81435 Bakersfield, CA 93380-1435 Dear Chuck: From the loo1~ of the two powdered ~ugar snow events in the Sierra last month, I would say that summer ha~ decided to "move on". After the earlier 106° stuff, the present weather is a blessing. Even Forester Pass, Mt. Williamson and the Whitney area looked a little white for a couple of days. I had hoped to wander into Golden Trout Country in October but Mother-Nature is making me nervous. On a more important subject, the cloud seeding season will soon be upon us. ~Iust as a formal note, we are willing to again operate the program during WY 1998/99 for the same cost and contract terms as 1997/98. I'd be pleased to come down for a luncheon discussion most anytime. Of course, the doors always open around here as well.

Wilderness Management Plan Dear Chuck: A few weeks ago I wrote to Senator Dianne Feinstein noting our objection to Sec. 2323.45, Weather Modification Over Wilderness in the U.S.F.S. Draft Environmental Impact Statement which is intended to revise the wilderness management direction for the Ansel Adams, John Muir, Dinkey Lakes and Monarch Wilderness areas in Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests. A copy of her reply is attached. This is a continuing important issue in regards present and future weather resources management programs (cloud seeding) which may affect the indicated wilderness areas. I'm still hopeful that all those concerned will make their thoughts known to both our political representatives and the U.S.F.S. If a joint meeting of representatives fi.om all groups involved in weather resources management programs is of any interest, our door is always open here in Fresno.

The Contractor shall meet all local agency's requirements and dispose of all chlorinated water in a safe and lawful imatter. If dechlorination of the water is required, then the chlorinated water that is discharged I to an open stream or storm drain shall be dechlorinated by water industry accepted methods. The dechlorinated water will be tested for chlorine residual to verify that no detectable amount of free chlorine is present. This testing will take place from the onset of discharging the water and at frequent I intervals throughout the dewatering of the pipe. Revision Date- Ocl~ober 15. 1998 PAGE - 19 - I City of Bakersfield Standards & Specifications for Domestic Water Division 7.3.1 Connection to Existing System: The water system under construction shall remain separate from the existing City domestic water system. Final "tie-ins" may only be connected after completion of disinfection procedures and acceptance of bacteriological test(s). After acceptance by City or its authorized representative, the Contractor shall make the final tie-in(s), connecting the new mains to the existing system. The Contractor must adjust from nominal line and grade to match existing facilities. The purpose of this procedure is to eliminate the strong chlorine solution used in the disinfection process and/or bacteria entering the City's existing domestic water system. 7.3.2 General Instructions: 1. After hydrostatic testing has been completed, the entire newly constructed water system including pipe, valves, fittings, hydrants, and other accessories shall be disinfected in accordance with AWWA C-601 and herein. Precautions shall be taken to soiling specified as prevent of pipe, fittings and other materials. Pipe and fittings shall be stored so as not to accumulate mud or water, and other material shall be stored in a clean, dry location. Particular care shall be taken to keep rubber gaskets and pipe ends clean. 2. All pipe shall be clean before lowering the pipe into the trench. 3. When the main is left unattended, even for a short time, the ends shall be plugged to prevent the entrance of foreign material or small animals. 4. Apply chlorine, using one of the methods described under "Chlorine Application Methods". 5. Isolate the main by closing valves and allow heavily chlorinated water to stand therein for a contact period of at least twenty-four hours. 6. At the end of the contact period, flush the main thoroughly. The test for chlorine should show no more chlorine in the water leaving the main than in the water entering the main. 7. The City's representative will collect a sample for bacteriological examination and send it to the laboratory. The sample should be taken from a service located near the end of the chlorinated section or from the sampling device. 8. If bacteriological tests are positive, the action to take will be noted on the laboratory report. Prompt attention to these orders is essential. Revision r~a~ - O~o~r ~5. ~998 PAGE - 20 - I I City of Bakersfield Standards & Specifications for Domestic Water Division ! 7.3.3 Chlorine Application Methods: I Method No. 1 - H.T.H. Tablet Method: This method is preferred for short jobs and for small diameter pipe of any kind. It cannot be used where trench water has entered the main. The I main cannot be flushed prior to disinfection, so the method requires that the pipe be kept clean during laying. I Using Permatex No. 1 as an adhesive, fasten the required number of tablets (see Table II) to the top of each length of pipe. Tubes of Permatex may be purchased locally at any auto parts I store, the tablets may be fastened to the pipe before it is placed in the trench provided the top of the pipe is marked to avoid the possibility that the pipe may be rotated. In addition to the tablets, place 10 ounces of H.T.H. granules at the upstream end of the first length of pipe into which water will flow. This will insure that heavily chlorinated water flows into crevasses caused by couplings and valves. For long runs, this should be repeated about every 500 feet. When "Dresser" similar additional H.T.H. in the annular using or couplings, place granules space between the coupling and the pipe. Fill the pipe very slowly and proceed as outlined under the "General Instructions". Method No. 2 - Liquid Bleach or H.T.H. Solution with Hand Pump: This method is general in scope and must be used when it is necessary to re-chlorinate an existing main. It may also be used on new mains, in which case place 10 ounces of H.T.H. granules at eh upstream end of the first length of pipe into which water will flow, and every 500 feet thereafter. This method consists of pumping a strong chlorine solution into water which is being used to fill the water main. Equipment required includes an ordinary hand test pump, solution hose, and a five gallon or larger container to hold the strong chlorine solution. A Gould Hydraulic Test Pump is satisfactory. A compact and convenient assembly can be made by mounting the solution container and the pump on a suitable board with a pipe connection from the container to the suction side of the pump. The strong chlorine solution can be made by mixing liquid Chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) or H.T.H. granules (calcium hypochlorite) in a five-gallon or larger container in the proportions shown in Table III. Liquid chlorine bleach is available in stores as laundry bleach (Clorox, Purex, grocery etc.) with a chlorine concentration of 5 %. It is also available as high strength solution (for commercial laundries or swimming pool) with a chlorine concentration of approximately 12%. H.T.H. comes as Revision Date- October 15. 1998 PAGE - 21 - I ICity of Bakersfield Standards & Specifications for Domestic Water Division ,! granules which must be dissolved in water. Strong chlorine solutions should be handled with care. I The solutions are dangerous to the eyes, irritating to the skin, and will damage shoes and clothes. 7.3.4 Procedure: I 1. Choose a suitable filling rate and determine the time required to fill the water main i from Table IV. 2. Compute the gallons of strong chlorine solution required by dividing 3 into the time I required to fill the water main. 3. Use Table III to determine the strength of chlorine solution required. I 4. Connect pump to water main to be disinfected. Use a corporation cock for this purpose and make connection at, or ahead of, the inlet end of the water main to be disinfected. I 5. After flushing the line thoroughly, adjust the filling rate by measuring the time i required to fill a five-gallon or other suitable container. 6. Pump strong chlorine solution into the line at a rate of one-gallon of strong solution I per three minutes. 7. Continue pumping until a chlorine residual test on a sample taken from the discharge end of the water main being disinfected shows at least 25 p.p.m, chlorine. 8. Then close filling valve or blow-off and stop pumping chlorine solution. I Disconnect and flush pump thoroughly with fresh water. I 9. During the disinfection process, all valves and other appurtenances shall be operated while the system is filled with heavily chlorinated water. Refer to "General Instructions" for the steps on flushing and sampling new water mains. I Special Note for Tapping Sleeves - Before a tapping sleeve is installed, the inside surface of the tapping I sleeve must be heavily dusted with H.T.H. granules or swabbed with grocery store liquid bleach.
