    Intra-agency EPA email from Aaron Setran to David Albright regarding attending BIA's consultant's proposed solution to addressing Pine View's sewer system. CC:d to Rich Campbell. Email sent 4/11/12 at 2:11 p.m. Mr. Setran noted, "Tetra Tech asserts that the size, slope and make-up (soils) of the current leach area is insufficient to handle the current and future wastewater loads. Not sure I'd entirely agree with them on this, but they seem 'hell-bent' on a surface water discharge, and who am I to rain on their parade, at least at this point." In an earlier email on the thread, Mr. Setran wrote at 10:45 a.m., "Tetra Tech gave a presentation which basically confirmed that the existing system is broken and the best plan of action is to replace it with a state-of-the-art package plant (SBR), which discharges the final effluent to a tributary to the Carson River via an NPDES permit. It appears that BIA will be providing the funding for the project, although some complicating issues relative to the BIA lease, Kizer, PTP and HOA need to be worked-out.....thus all the attorneys." Several of the earlier threads in the email were redacted by the EPA under Freedom of Information Act Exemption (b)5 for attorney-client privilege, deliberative process, or attorney work product and for Exemption (b)7 for law enforcement purposes.

    Grant Vaughn is from the Solicitor's office, representing BIA. Regarding their proposed surface
    discharge, the end-of-pipe looks to be located off the property, so NDEP will likely issue such a
    permit.....but there's quite a lot to be explored before such a plan could move forward. Re: UIC, Tetra
    Tech asserts that the size, slope and make-up (soils) of the current leach area is insufficient to handle the
    current and future wastewater loads. Not sure I'd entirely agree with them on this, but they seem
    "hell-bent" on a surface water discharge, and who am I to rain on their parade, at least at this point.

    Thanks. So PTP was present and accounted for. I see that Mark Kizer was present, as well as 4 people
    "representing" him. Who is Grant Vaughn (SOL)?

    BIA-Pineview mtg

    Attached is a pdf of the sign-in sheet for yesterday's mtg. Tetra Tech gave a presentation which basically
    confirmed that the existing system is broken and the best plan of action is to replace it with a
    state-of-the-art package plant (SBR), which discharges the final effluent to a tributary to the Carson River
    via an NPDES permit. It appears that BIA will be providing the funding for the project, although some
    complicating issues relative to the BIA lease, Kizer, PTP and HOA need to be worked-out.....thus all the
    attorneys.

    A follow-up mtg between Kizer, HOA and BIA took place after the main mtg, but it appeared that my
    participation would have made things a bit awkward given the potential finger-pointing. So, I did not
    attend this mtg., but told my BIA contact that I'd touch base with him early next week to learn about next
    steps.
