similar . The quarry was built in 1932 at a much smaller size than it should have been , so it is not sufficient . For example , there is 30 square miles of water pouring into the reservoir and the capacity is too small to hold it so a lot of water is lost . Cane Creek reservoir was built to a size , which was compatible to the 30 square miles . The quarry reservoir should have been built to that size also . Extensive studies have been done on increasing the size of the reservoirs . The storage necessary could be easily reached by expanding the quarry reservoir . The yield of each reservoir — one being 3 - 1 / 2 million and the other 10 million gallons per day was noted . With the additional reservoir there could be 20 million gallons per day yield using the same watershed area . The blast effects were reported as being similar to daily California tremors that move pictures on walls . Other concerns discussed were effects on wells , water supply issues , and stone needs , Jordan Lake — increase size unlikely because it has drains of heavily industrialized areas with problems , and other safety issues of drinking water . Two requirements of the quarry company and OWASA could be to provide piped water supply to people in the watershed if their wells are adversely effected , secondly they should be recompensed for any damages that occur . An example was given that when gravel is lost on the roadways by trucks hauling rock this causes damage to others using roadways . A possible solution might be that as a truck leaves a construction site it could be washed including the wheels to remove stones and also the loads should be covered thereby alleviating further damages by flying rock . The costs of these types of compensations will be small compared to the value of the water supply . Other concerns discussed were the water issues surrounding growth and development, using water to discourage growth , being at the headwaters of all the streams the water will be valuable whether for OWASA service area now or future , growth will occur and the water will be an valuable resource . The excess water we now have flows downstream and could be used in the future . The CfE concluded to reserve making a statement until further investigation and detail studying of this issue is completed . Tucker volunteered to attend the meeting in a citizen capacity and report back at a later time . Another idea was to assign investigation of this issue to the future water committee if the CfE determines to take on this study . VI . CfE Goals for FY 2000 - 01 The CfE adopted to goals as distributed with the following changes . Reword the fourth goal under the Air Quality Committee to say , " Investigate potential for state to establish additional air quality monitoring stations in Orange County . " And change the completion date to " June 2001 . " DRAFT CFE 4/ 10/00 Minutes Page 4 of 6
