The proposed "Notice of Termination" to Chevron U.S.A. concerning
the discharge of oilfield wastewater into the Beardsley-Lerdo
Canal system was brought before the Board at this time. Mr. Dow
presented this item before'the Board. Scott Kuney, attorney
representing North Kern Water Storage District, spoke regarding
this Notice of Termination. Mr. Kuney stated that there were
various reasons why this Notice of Termination should be im-
plemented, but the first and foremost should be emphasized to
co,m~ittee, that it would be done to encourage a commencement of
negotiation for the execution of a new agreement. It would set
a date certain from which the time for negotiation would commence
and it would be a one year period, and probably within that one
year period a new agreement would be executed. Secondly, this
Notice of Termination would in no way affect Chevron's operations
for at least a year and this does not cause them t° prevent con-
tinuation of the operations. Mr. Milo Hall and Mr. Lloyd Phillips,
both from North Kern Water Storage District, also had some comments
regarding this item. Following further discussion, Dr. Ratty made
a motion to recommend the City Council. approve and execute the
Notice of Termination and authorize staff to enter~ negotiationS
with North Kern Water Storage District and Chevron U.S.A. Motion
passed.
The proposal for a Groundwater Banking Program in Kern County
between Kern Water Districts and Metropolitan Water'District was
discussed at length before the Board. Mr. Moore attended a meeting
on this subject and gave a brief report. Mr. Mil0 Hall of North
Kern Water Storage District added his comments; and Mr. Tom Clark,
of Olcese Water District, spoke regarding Olcese's concerns for
this program. Mr. Clark would like a designated representative
from the City to meet with Olcese Water District to discuSs this
program. Mr. Moore suggested Mr. Dow, with the City, and Mr.
Clark get together to discuss and see what' recommendations they
may have.
Mr. Moore brought before the Board for discussion the suggestion
of changing the day and/or time of the regularly scheduled Water
Board meetings. It was recommended that this be deferred until
the next Water Board meeting.
