'['his addition was riot made to the San Joaquin County Water Quality Management Plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors; however, as a separate resolution to the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservaton District Board of Directors did unanonymously recommended that the Board of Supervisors act as the necessary public agency applicant authority for this Section 205 (j), Clean Water Act Grant, of which the local share costs would be paid by the Citizens Committee at no cost to San Joaquin County. The following three documents pertinent to the above hearing are presented in appendix as Exhibit A-1, A-2 do A-3. The Citizens Committee has requested through Ms. Evelyn Costa, their District's Supervisor, County Counsel and others that San Joaquin County act as the contracting agent with the State Water Resources Control _ Board for this Section 205 (j) Clean Water Act Grant, at no cost or expense to the County of San Joaquin. The Citizens Committee will pay for this application preparation and the local share of the Ground Water Study. (See Appendix A-3). The Citizens Committee of Santos Ranch Development are definitely committed to implementation of a plan to mitigate their suspected ground water problems. At least one of the local School Board Members is committed to seeing ground water improvements if needed. Local and State agencies are not apparently aware of specific documented public health and safety hazards, however, correspondence and memorandum from the California Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region and the San Joaquin County Local Health District (see Appendix A-2, pages B-1 to D-2) indicates that these agencies suspect that ground water and domestic water well pollution and/or contamination may exist at Santos Ranch/Currier Estates or Lammersville School. In view of past action of both agencies, if a public health and safety condition is demonstrated to exist they may provide reasonable and suitable commitment to implement the management practices developed by this 205 (j) Study.
