10 <br /> 1 USGS to investigate ground water recharge rates in Orange County. Basically, the report uses years of <br /> 2 stream flow data at a number of different gauging stations on streams in Orange County and streams <br /> 3 that cover land area covered by Orange County to estimate the recharge to ground water in Orange <br /> 4 County. He outlined the conclusions and the next steps suggested by the Water Resources <br /> 5 Committee. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Steve Yuhasz expressed a concern about the specifics of example #1 -- an example of an <br /> 8 individual lot. He feels that that example does not take into account the effect of the reintroduction of <br /> 9 water into the ground through the septic system. He feels the demand is overrated by 2-1/2 times and <br /> 10 should be looked at as the difference between what is taken out of the ground and what is returned to <br /> 11 the ground through the septic system. Because of this difference in demand between 160 gpd and 400 <br /> 12 gpd, the minimum lot size would be 2-1/2 times what it could reasonably be expected to be. He asked <br /> 13 that the board take this into account when looking at the conclusions of this report. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 In answer to the concern expressed by Steve Yuhasz, Dr. Daniel said that they did not take <br /> 16 into account reused water. In doing this report, fresh water was the primary concern -- clean water <br /> 17 from recharge. They did not want to count on reused water from septic systems being used as drinking <br /> 18 water. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 <br /> 21 B. 1995-96 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT <br /> 22 The Board received as information the Comprehensive Annual financial Report and Single <br /> 23 Audit Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

A copy of this presentation is in the permanent agenda file in the <br /> 25 Clerk's office. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 <br /> 28 11. APPOINTMENTS - NONE <br /> 29 <br /> 30 12.
