they were looking at East 14th Street at one time. And, they had other alignments that <br />they did look at. That would have been untreated sewage in a force main. Not very <br />interesting to any city to have that coming through their city limits. On the EIR stage, <br />San Leandro was very involved in protesting the EIR -there were a lot of negotiations <br />trying to get the City to a point where they would accept that. Some of the things that <br />you are talking about, Council Member Glaze, the $12M and some of these other things - <br />a lot of that had to do with that particular negotiation. It was later found that it was just <br />not really feasible or practical -the amount of public sentiment against raw garbage/raw <br />sewage coming through the City - it just made it that they didn't ever think that they <br />could get a project going. They went back and re-approached EBDA with a different <br />type project. As most of you know, the East Bay Dischargers Authority has a deep <br />water pipeline that has a capacity of approximately 186 million gallons per day. Each <br />of the member agencies have a percentage of that as their capacity. At the time the <br />facility was being built, they talked, LAVWMA, about the possibility of becoming a <br />member of EBDA -they opted not to be a member. Then about the time the out-fall was <br />being built, they did elect to purchase 19.2 million gallons per day of firm out-fall <br />capacity -even though they are not a member of the EBDA. They have ownership of <br />that capacity in the pipeline -they purchased it. The next stage was -whenever they <br />started looking at coming to EBDA again, they first talked about trying to buy actual <br />capacity from the member agencies. San Leandro was interested in that concept and we <br />do have some capacity that could be either long-term leased to LAVWMA or sold - it <br />would be at the Council's discretion as to what they wanted to do in that regard. But, <br />the City of San Leandro only uses about 30 to 40 percent of its actual capacity on a <br />October 20, 1997 -Verbatim Transcript, Item 6.A 4 <br />
