WHEREAS, By letter of April 9, 1975, from Mr. Bill B. Dendy to Mr. Paul DeFalco the State has preliminarily indicated that the total grant fundable capacity for the expanded V.C.S~D. plant has been determined to be 6~516 MGD; and WHEREAS, The proposed total combined capacity of 6.516 MGD is less than the sum of the existing separate capacities of 6.7 MGD, is less than the projected flows at the time of completion of the proposed expansion, is less than necessary to provide for fulfilling existing legal and moral obligations of the City and V.CoS~D., is less than necessary to provide for the planned, orderly and reasonable growth of the City, and would be detri- mental to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City; and WHEREAS, Said preliminary determination is in direct conflict with the conditions set forth in the above mentioned Resolution Noo 74-212, and therefore unacceptable to the City of Pleasanton; and WHEREAS, By previously referred to letter State has indicated its intention to include a grant condition relating to air quality restricting connections to the sewer system until various standards are met and until approved by the State; and WHEREAS, The City finds said proposed condition to be of dubious legality, imprac- tical to implement, inappropriate with respect to the control of water pollution, a flagrant usurpation of local authority, counterproductive in that it will prolong water pollution control problems that the grant pro- gram is intended to solve, and generally unacceptable in that it would effectively prevent the City from fulfilling its obligations.
