Wednesday, November 2, 1994
Regular Meeting
MEMBERS PRESENT: Jerry Insley; Paul Mace; Linda Katzen; Lyle Smith; Laura Craven;
Merle Mills; Alan DeBoer; Cathy Golden and Steve Hauck. Staff
present: Steve Hall; Pam Barlow and Caralyn Dusenberry.
I. CALL TO ORDER: 12:00 Noon, COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Chairman Katzen called the meeting to order at 12 noon.
II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Wednesday, October 5, 1994
Insley moved approval of the minutes for October 5, 1994. Smith seconded motion.
Motion approved.
III. OLD BUSINESS:
A. FAA Grant Application: Progress Report
Hall stated with the bad weather setting in it does not look like the Airport
improvement project will begin before the end of the year. L.T.M., Inc. (the
company awarded the bid) was hoping to have the road built before the end of the
year. FAA agreed to change the gravel specifications. A change order will be
prepared and implemented.
The fence along Dead Indian Memorial Road was discussed and will possibly be
constructed this winter.
B. Impact of Proposed Wilderness Area on Air Corridor: Status
Katzen referred to letter in packet from Layne Lang, BLM. Barlow and Katzen
will draft a letter before the next meeting.
PAGE
C. New Land Lease Lottery:
Barlow stated we will begin this soon. She reviewed two maps prepared by
engineering which showed the two layouts with different size hangars and possible
locations. The road easement requirement can be_met.with either proposal.
Changes to the asphalt area will need to be addressed in the lottery. Mills stated
he is in favor of splitting off the proposed FBO hangar from the regular hangars.
Discussion was held on developing the additional twenty=acres. Hall stated we
should be moving towards ground lease fees based on square footage. Discussion
was held on hangar sizes. Discussion was held on persons interested in hangars,
commercial and regular. The 22 acres should have been marked as "hangar sites".
Commercial activity in the CAP Hangar area conflicts with general aviation
operations. Mace stated the Master Plan neglected parking for automobiles which
is a problem. He also stated that, provided it doesn't contravene the spirit of the
Master Plan, he does not see site "A" or "B" as commercial. He thinks parking
needs formal consideration. The hangars are for people to keep their airplanes in.
Discussion was held on commercial operations, customer access and parking.
DeBoer stated he is for the three private hangars. He said a commercial hangar
involves something for profit and the City should share in the profit. There could
be an additional surcharge. Barlow reviewed the map and the Master Plan for
parking. Katzen appointed a subcommittee to address this situation.
Subcommittee will be Mace, Smith, Katzen and DeBoer. They will meet with
Barlow and discuss parking and commercial hangars.
D. Hold Harmless Agreements for New Development Near Airport:
Barlow referred the Commission to her memo in the packet. Public Works
Director Hall, Planning Director MacLaughlin, City Attorney Paul Nolte, she and
Assistant City Engineer Olson met to discuss how to effectively apply the Hold
Harmless Agreements to property within Ashland. Public Works was under the
impression that when the Oak Knoll Subdivision expanded that the Hold Harmless
Agreements would be included, but they were not. The current Jackson County
Planning Department building permit procedure requires applicants to apply at
Barlow's office, and agreement is discussed and then signed. Modifications to
the City's requirements for Hold Harmless Agreements will make City and
County requirements more comparable. A draft document should be available to
Airport Commission by January.
E. Review of Safety Reports:
Skinner stated copies were in Commissioner's packets. South end wind cone will
be replaced. The fuel island has a hose broken past the nozzle. Continuing
problems in maintenance hanger with the doors. Bad weather makes the inside
colder. The fiberglass on the door is broken which could cause a security
problem. He is recommending replacement of the fiberglass with metal on lower
end, six to eight feet up. The monthly meetings for CAP are continuing to be
held. There is a little activity from a couple of small groups which utilize the
PAGE 2-(c:.+m\minuV+Xnov%Mm)
l
facility. A ground school is being conducted, it is a 12 week course with eight
students.
F. Other: —
DeBoer asked about airport overlay. Hall stated this will go to.Planning and then
proposed to the Planning Commission. Airport Commission will receive this,
hopefully, some time in January.
IV. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Reoort from the Ashland Airport Association:
B. Flyer/promotions: Status Report:
Barlow stated this is pending.
C. Other:
Hall handed out financial report and reviewed with the Commission. He stated
there is $5,000 in the contingency which will cover the ODOT Oregon Aeronautic
Grant that was dropped. The unappropriated money is set aside for future use.
This can be looked at when we go through the budget process for next year. The
cost of sampling the storm drains is more expensive than anticipated. Hall is
looking at above ground fuel tanks:
V. Airport Manager Report/FBO REPORT
A. Status of Airport:
Skinner stated the Airport is doing well with activity dropping off as usual for
winter. The October activity was real good. There was 8500 gallons of fuel
sold in September which is above average and 6500 for October. Maintenance is
remaining very active. A new aircraft mechanic, Scott Vogel, has been hired and
will begin working in the near future. He does over-all engine, turbo prop
aircraft, and metal work. He is taking his IA exam shortly.
B. Financial Report:
Skinner stated each Commissioner received a copy. The semi-annual hangar
notes were due and some lessees paid for the entire year.
VI. Informational Items:
Insley stated he has been on the Commission over five years and he would like ideas for
advertising. He requested a member of the Chamber attend the next Airport Commission
PAGE 3-c�:•ve� � M�>
meeting and that a joint PR packet be prepared and given to the public. Insley stated the
more people brought in, the more benefit the Airport will receive and pass on to the
community. Katzen will contact Sandra at the Chamber.
VII. ADJOURN:
Katzen adjourned the meeting at 12:45 p.m. _

MEMBERS PRESENT: Bill Robertson; Teri Coppedge;
Don Ferguson; Pattie Acklin and
Isaac Walker. Staff Present: Pam
Barlow; and Caralyn Dusenberry.
I. Call To Order:
Robertson called meeting to order at 7:10 p.m.
II. Minutes of Meeting: October 12, 1994:
Coppedge moved the approval of minutes. Robertson seconded. motion. Motion
approved.
III. Items for Discussion:
A. Forest RFP/Prescription/Inventory: Status
Barlow stated she met with Marty Main. He was not comfortable to go directly
into bidding. He would be interested in preparing a preliminary review of the
parcels in relationship to the Forest Plan. The purpose would be for him to get
to the parcels and also for staff to have more time. No cost or dollar figure was
given. A list of technical items that need to be covered were given to Barlow
from Don Ferguson.
Discussion was held on McCormack and Main's roles in doing the prescription,
inventory and thinning. Prescription and inventory would be developed at the
same time.
Robertson recommended to Coppedge that the Park's Commission adopt the
Forest Plan. Coppedge recommended the Forest Commission review the plan
with the Park's Commission to help them understand the most important issues.
B. Neighborhood Forest Management Meetings/Public Information Program
Barlow stated we were looking at starting the Neighborhood Forest Management
Meetings in January. It would be advantageous to meet in sub-committee before
PAGE 1-(c:foresaminues\«t94.A+w
the meetings begin to plan advertising and meeting dates. An outline and
preliminary dates will be given to the Commission at their January meeting.
Coppedge, Robertson and Walker offered to work on this sub-committee. The
same neighborhood meetings set-up for the TransPlan will be used by the Forest
Commission. The Sub-committee will meet Tuesday, November 29th,_3:30p.m.,
769 S. Mountain, the home of Isaac Walker.
C. Watershed Management Council Conference: Hikes
Barlow stated the Conference is coming together. Robertson and Rees Jones will
be guiding the Bike rides. A Watershed drive through with municipal people is
still in the works. Bike rentals were discussed. Barlow stated there many people
have an opportunity to go in the van and hike. Discussion was held on the
different hiking areas that could be used.
D. Funding_Mechanisms: Real Estate Transfer Tax. etc.
Robertson stated he does not want to see the Commission riding on coat tail. If
the Commission had proposed the Real estate Transfer Tax it would have been
dealt with in an entirely different manner. A funding mechanism will be done by
the Commission. Acklin stated that, from experience, the testimony is very
similar in a public hearing on raising revenue.
This item will remain on the agenda for two more meetings to for the purpose of
receiving input on revenue sources.
IV. Review/Set Commission Calendar:
A. Set Date for Interface Hike:
This will be placed on future agenda.

ASHLAND HISTORIC COMMISSION
Minutes
December 7, 1994
CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Jim Lewis at 7:35 p.m. Members present
were Terry Skibby, Larry Cardinale, Jim Lewis, Steve Ennis, Keith Chambers, Bill Harriff
and Casey Mitchell. Also present were Senior Planner Bill Molnar, Associate Planner Mark
Knox, Secretary Sonja Akerman, and Council Liaison Pat Acklin. H.L. Wood and Chloe
Winston were absent.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Ennis pointed out that the third paragraph on page 4 of the November 2, 1994 Minutes
should say 24 foot building height rather than roof. Mitchell moved and Ennis seconded to

Richard Wagner
Knox related that last March, a second story addition was approved for this building.
Because of difficulties, those plans were discarded and the new plans consist of adding on
600 square feet at various locations. The exterior material will be similar to what is existing.
He noted the conditions of approval will be the same as the ones approved in March, with
the addition of a laurel hedge by the sidewalk.
Architect Richard Wagner clarified the location of the additional space and what will be
removed. He said the additions will be in segmented small areas to accommodate more
needed space. Wood windows will replace the horizontal aluminum sliders, and glass doors
will replace the existing entry doors. Everything will be kept simple and straight forward.
Harriff moved and Chambers seconded to recommend approval of this action, and the
motion was unanimously passed.
PA 94-122
Site Review and Variance
509 Siskiyou Boulevard
Christopher Briscoe
Knox explained the applicant proposes to add a second story to the existing building. Staff
has worked with the designer for the past four months and is satisfied with the elevations
which have been presented. The existing building was probably built in the 1950s and is
non-contributing to the area. The applicant and his designer, Les Langmeyer, have been
sensitive to the close proximity of the E.V. Carter House which is on the National Register,
and have designed the addition to be four feet back from the existing building to make sure
it will not impact the Carter House, while still adding interest to the building. The parapet
will no longer exist, and Staff feels this is a nice addition compared to what exists now. The
applicant is also requesting a parking variance. The building itself takes up most all of the
property area. According to the applicant, a single parking space was deeded to the
property at the time of its creation. There are agreements between the neighboring
property owners to share spaces. Knox noted if the second story were to be converted to
residential use, there may be a deed restriction placed on the property to offset the parking.
Ennis questioned the flat roof. Langmeyer stated the front part of the building is square
and then it angles back. It would be very difficult to gable the roof, so it was designed flat.
Knox stated Staff is requesting the balcony be no less than six feet in order to have more
usable space. It is currently drawn as a four foot balcony. Lewis and Skibby both stated
that would be a major design change. Ennis agreed the balcony would be more usable,
however the hipped roof of the porch would be lost.
Ennis said he was not comfortable with the design concept of the building. It is typical of
a downtown type of building, but in his eyes, it is out of place in this location, especially
between the Carter House and the Stratford Inn.
Skibby asked about the siding. Langmeyer said that in discussing this with Staff, it was felt
a natural color stucco would be best. Skibby then noted there has been commercial
buildings along Siskiyou Boulevard at that site in the past.
Harriff said there isn't much that could be done differently to the building in order to utilize
the property unless the existing building were torn down. Lewis stated he felt the building
will be less bulky with the flat roof. He then noted the designs of Fire Station 1 and the
Blue Mountain Cafe do not have gabled roof lines. Ennis responded the Carter House and
Stratford Inn are more relevant.
When questioned about the height, Langmeyer stated the total height of the addition is 61/z
feet. Ennis maintained he personally feels the building will be too bulky and he thinks this
bulk could be trimmed. Mitchell stated the concept is not just three buildings here, but a
mixture in the area.
Regarding the balcony, Langmeyer stated it would probably not be used extensively. Knox
responded if it was six feet, it would at least give people the opportunity to use the balcony.
Harriff suggested if the second story were to be converted to an apartment, a deed
restriction would ensure the doors and windows would be moved back two feet in order to
make the balcony six feet at that time. Christopher Briscoe added he has attempted to
conduct staff meetings on the roof top, but the noise is too loud. The reason for the
Ashland Historic Commission
Minutes
December 7, 1994 Page 2
addition is that he needs more shooting space and he needs high ceilings for his
photography work.
Ron Thurner, 1170 Bellview Avenue, stated if the deed restriction is important to put on
now, he does not see that the plans would come before the Historic Commission again if
changed to residential use.
Knox recommended the designer draw up alternate sketches for the Review Board depicting
the recessed doors and windows. Harriff asked about the purpose of having a six foot
balcony. Molnar stated it is not necessarily a personal staff preference, but there is
extensive literature on the subject and planners have to look at long term influences.
Harriff asked if the six foot balcony condition could be placed on the property if it were
converted to a residence, and at that time, the doors and windows could be set back.
Langmeyer said he would offer to reset them at the time of residential conversion.
Harriff stated he felt the smaller balcony offsets the bulk of the building. Chambers related
the Historic Commission has a responsibility that is longer term. He likes the design of the
building, but said it would fit in better on Fourth Street. Skibby disagreed, stating the site
is in a transition area, and asserted he felt comfortable with the design.
Skibby moved to recommend approval of this application with the condition the windows
and doors be set in two feet at the time of a residential conversion in order to make the
balcony a depth of no less than six feet. The motion passed with Lewis, Skibby, Mitchell
and Harriff voting aye, and Ennis, Chambers and Cardinale voting nay.

PA 94-117
Site Review, Outline Plan Approval and Solar Waiver
Church Street
M.H. Hedges
Molnar explained this was heard at the October Historic Commission meeting, but was
delayed before it went to the Planning Commission meeting. The Commission had
expressed concerns about the scale of the project as it related to Church Street. Since that
time, the property has been surveyed and it was found to be 400 square feet larger, so the
permitted density is seven units outright, without bonus points. The lap pool, however, is
still part of the project. The percentage of lot coverage has changed with the reduction of
impervious surfaces (private front concrete areas and walkways have been removed). While
the scale has not changed much along Church Street, the designer has submitted a
streetscape drawing of the area from North Main Street to High Street.
Harriff stated the submitted streetscape has reduced his concerns. Designer David Larsen
verified the streetscape was drawn to scale. He also said the center building has been set
back a bit, lawn areas will still be in front, and the elevation along Church Street has been
Ashland Historic Commission
Minutes
December 7, 1994 Page 3
M 1
scaled down to 66 feet. Skibby declared he also felt more comfortable with the project after
seeing the streetscape.
Density was discussed. Lewis stated it is difficult to predict the impact of the project on the
rear of the property. Mitchell said the design and massing do not seem that large, especially
compared with the Bard's Inn. Although Harriff likes the design, he said he does feel for
the neighbors. Skibby agreed, but added it is already a busy area because it is so close to
North Main Street.
Mark Jenne, 92 Church Street, asked about the color. Larsen said each unit or every other
unit will be painted a different color. All the trim will probably be the same color. He
noted they will be using historic colors. Jenne remarked he was certainly calmed somewhat
by the elevations, as he likes the design. He declared, however, that the neighbor directly
across the street was ill and she had asked him to voice her concerns about the density on
Church Street. (Mary Maher, the neighbor, had written letters to that effect and were
included in the packet.)
Skibby noted the houses around the comer on High Street are fairly close together.
Mitchell and Chambers both expressed concern that after projects are approved by the
Historic and Planning Commissions, there are instances whereby the plans change quite a
bit and they are not brought back to the respective commissions for review.
When asked about the conditions, Molnar clarified all the conditions of the applicant will
be incorporated into the conditions of approval.
Harriff moved and Cardinale seconded to recommend approval of this project to the
Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously.

1995, 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.) Pete Belcastro has agreed to at least tape meeting and replay at a later date.
(There is the possibility of a live broadcast.)
Brown and Caldwell letter report: If this meets Council request, accept letter report.
BACKGROUND
DEO Meeting_ See attached letter from Jon Gasik. Note: This is a DEQ meeting and not a City Council
meeting.
Brown and Caldwell Letter Report: It is interesting to note how large a portion of the costs are associated
with phoslkiorau removal ($13,281,000) and a Level IV effluent ($4,412,000). To meet winter standards,
the estimated cost is$15,735,000. The construction cost of$17,693,000 is required to meet phosphorous
and Level IV standards!
The costs have been upgraded using the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index. The figures
will be refined over the next few weeks by John Holroyd and will include construction, operation and
maintenance, replacement water costs and net present value. In addition, visual aides are being prepared
for the public review process.
If the Council wishes, I will invite John Holroyd to discuss his report at your January 17 meeting.
STAFF COMMENTS
As I noted at the last Council meeting, a key decision should be made by the Council. The decision is whether
Ashland will continue to consider an option which will allow year around discharge to Bear Creek I have a concern
PAGE 1-(c:scwer\-,vwb.Mcm)
for year around discharge. The concern is the ability of either a tertiary treatment plant or a combination of wetlands
and soil filtration to consistently meet summer standards. Based on my review of the options, I cannot recommend
either solution to the Council because neither option has a proven track record.
If Council elects not to pursue a year around discharge option, I believe that there are only three candidates available
for serious consideration. I have dropped our "alphabet soup" system for _this-ieview. The first two options I
consider a "toss up". The third option I have some reservations.
OPTION 1 requires a major upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant with winter discharge to Bear Creek
and summer discharge to the TID canal near Oak Street. A gallon-for-gallon exchange with TID stored
provides a "no loss" condition for Bear Creek. The TID Board of Directors has expressed a concern for their
customers with the use of reclaimed water. In that light, a 25 acre wetland and a Level IV effluent probably
will be required to satisfy TID and their customers. A minimum addition to the major plant upgrade would
be a 25 acre pond to store water during the spring and fall "windows" of time between the summer standards
and the TID irrigation season. The TID exchange option meets the Council's written goal of not reducing
flows in Bear Creek.
OPTION 2 is similar to Option 1 but would have summer discharge applied as spray irrigation to
approximately 750 acres of land. The costs assume City purchase of the land. The land could be used in a
positive manner by producing a grass crop. A 20 acre storage pond would be required to balance the effluent
flow with available irrigation days. If wetlands are deemed a value to the community by the Council the pond
could be constructed as wetlands. The initial investigation of property for this option included 1300 acres.
Of the 1300 acres, portions of 520 acres have TID stored water rights totalling 708 acre-feet of stored water.
These water rights have a priority date of 1915, the same as all other agriculture stored water rights in the
-=Bear Creek basin. The following table gives the volumes available for given durations, assuming different
7-'scenarios for percent of water available from storage. I am not aware of the allocation falling below 80% in
the past seven years. As a general rule, 2 months supply would fill the low flow gap after TID stopped
flowing water in Bear Creek until the first rains of the fall season.

PAGE 2-(=:scwcr\.vopV.Mem)
OPTION 3 would contemplate the raising of the existing wastewater treatment plant and constructing a pump
station and approximately 7 miles of sewer line. Ashland's effluent would be transported by the Bear Creek
Valley Sanitary Authority (BCVSA) system to the Medford Wastewater Plant. My main concern with this
option is the permanent removal of approximately 2 million gallons of water a day from the upper reaches of
Bear Creek and the City of Ashland. Part of my reservations towards t)_iis option is the future need for
drinking water for the ensuing generations. Technology is available to produce drinking water from the
effluent. Cost, public acceptance and other less costly options for drinking water do not make this an attractive
alternative at this point in time. The Medford Reclamation Project holds promise for replacement of the
treated effluent removed from Bear Creek.
Medford Reclamation Project: The approximate construction cost for the project is
$15,000,000 with annual operating costs estimated at $60,000. This does not include
costs which either the Medford Irrigation District (MID) or Rogue River Valley
Irrigation District (RRVID) may have to invest if their existing canal system is
inadequate to transport the reclaimed water.
Howard Prairie has a capacity of 60,000 acre-feet which is split TID (48,000 acre-feet),
MID (8,000 acre-feet) and RRVID (4,000 acre-feet). With the Medford Reclamation
Project all or a portion of the 12,000 acre-feet assigned to MID and RRVID could be
redistributed for instream, agriculture and municipal use. There would be legall hurdles
to overcome involving the three irrigation districts, the Oregon Water Resources
Department and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
SUMMARY
The decision is not a simple or an easy one for the Council. The impacts are far reaching as they set a commitment
for the future of Ashland and Bear Creek while severely restricting Ashland's ability to finance any other projects for
the next 20 years.

Dear Mr. Hall:
I thank you and Paul Nolte for meeting with me on December 21, 1994 to discuss the issued
raised at the Ashland City Council meeting. During the Council meeting, several questions
were raised that Gary Arnold and I were unable to answer at that time. The Council
requested that they be allowed to postpone a decision on the proposed Mutual Agreement and
Order (MAO) until these questions are answered.
These questions centered around the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), the Waste Load
Allocations (WLAs) and the computer model used to arrive at these limits. Since Gary and I
were not involved in the development of the limits or the computer model, we have asked the
staff involved to come to Ashland to respond to these concerns.
In order to reach all interested people, we will hold a public meeting to present information
on the water quality of Bear Creek and the development of the TMDLs, the WLAs and the
computer models. We will also include a discussion on seasonal flows in Bear Creek.
Immediately following our presentation, we will have a question/answer session.
I have reserved the Ashland City Council chambers on January 12, 1994 for this purpose.
No time has been set, but we expect it to be in the early evening. Please get back to me
with your time preference.
Please present this letter at the next City Council meeting.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 776-6010 x230.

Subject: Cost Effective Analysis — Wastewater Facilities Plan Facilities Plan
Dear Mr. Hall:
During a council work session on October 24, 1994, we discussed at length the Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) permit limits for discharge to Bear Creek. We were
asked to develop for the council a summary of the permit limits, the associated treatment
requirements, and their associated costs. The purpose of this exercise was to assist the
council in judging the environmental benefits which would accrue from each additional
treatment step.
The analysis begins with a summary of the permit limits. Four basic treatment increments
are then presented along with their expected performance and cost.
PERMIT LIMITS AND REQUIREMENTS
The DEQ discharge limits for Bear Creek address a large number of constituents and are
somewhat complicated. They can be found in their complete form in OAR 340-41-362,
340-41-375, and 340-41-385. Exhibit A includes a condensed version of these regulations.
Many of the requirements vary in relation to flow in Bear Creek. For the purposes of
discussion, the permit limits can be divided into four general categories. These permit
categories and the related environmental concerns are presented below.
Organic/Ammonia Contaminants
The oxygen demand exerted by contaminants in the effluent are limited by the stream
standards. This includes both biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) as well as ammonia.
Both pollutants extract oxygen from the stream during their decomposition. Oxygen
depletion will impact fisheries and encourage growth of undesirable vegetation. In
addition, ammonia is know to be toxic to many forms of aquatic life. To prevent this
process these contaminants are degraded biologically in the treatment plant.

Permit requirements limit the amount of organic and ammonia loading allowable in Bear
Creek as shown in Table 1.

Winter 2.5 (h)
CBOD + NBOD, mg/L Summer 3.0
Winter 2.5 (h)
Ammonia-N, mg/L Summer 0.25
Winter 1.0
Chlorine
Either liquid and gaseous chlorine have been traditionally used to disinfect effluent prior to
discharge to receiving waters. Elevated levels of chlorine are toxic to many elements of
the stream biological community. In particular, fish spawning can be interrupted due to
relatively low levels of chlorine. Ashland's permit requirements limit the concentration of
chlorine to 0.011 milligram per liter (mg/L) both in winter and summer.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is one of the primary nutrient sources for aquatic growth in streams. Excess
available phosphorus can cause algal blooms which will remove oxygen from the stream
and depress the pH. The DEQ has established 0.08 mg/L as the phosphorus concentration
in Bear Creek upstream of the treatment plant. While it is unclear what phosphorus level
will stimulate aquatic growth, the DEQ has taken the conservative approach of requiring
the plant effluent to not exceed background phosphorus levels in the stream. Therefore,
the summer requirement for phosphorus is 0.08 mg/L for discharge from the plant. There
are no winter limits on phosphorus due to the increased stream flows and lower water
temperatures.
Temperature
Elevated water temperatures are known to impede fish spawning, hence, the DEQ has
established a maximum desired stream temperature of 58 degrees F. At stream
Mr. Steve Hall
December 22, 1994
Page 3
temperatures below 58 degrees F, the effluent can increase the stream temperature by no
more than 2 degrees F. At stream temperatures above 58 degrees F,-no increase in stream
temperature is allowed.
Level 4 Effluent Reclamation
Level 4 is a DEQ designation of effluent quality. It represents the highest level of
treatment for irrigation purposes and means the effluent can be used for most irrigation
applications. The DEQ has not indicated that Level 4 effluent will be required for
discharge to the Talent Irrigation District (TID) canal. It is assumed that Level 4 effluent
will be required by TID prior to discharge to their system.
Table 2 shows the treatment requirements and public access constraints of a Level 4
effluent.

TREATMENT ALTERNATIVE COMPONENTS
Four treatment alternatives would be employed to comply with the discharge permit limits
described above. The categories include a base treatment plant upgrade project, wetlands
for temperature attenuation, a phosphorus removal system, and treatment to Level 4
effluent reuse standards.
Treatment Plant Upgrade. Improvements to the existing wastewater treatment plant
would allow the city to comply with discharge limits for organic constituents (BOD),
ammonia, and chlorine residuals. The plant's current activated sludge treatment process
would be retained.
Mr. Steve Hall
December 22, 1994
Page 4
To comply with discharge limits for organics and ammonia, new aeration basins and a new
secondary clarifier would be constructed. In addition, the plant's existing aeration basins
would be modified to improve performance. The aeration basins would convert both
organics and ammonia into harmless by-products. The basins would be sized to ensure
compliance with discharge limits, even during the winter months, when low temperatures
impair the performance of biological treatment systems. The new secondary clarifier
would increase solids removal efficiency and enhance reliability.
Two options exist to prevent the discharge of toxic chlorine residuals. One option is to
remove chlorine prior to discharge with a sulfur-based chemical such as sulfur dioxide.
Sulfur dioxide reacts with chlorine to form chlorides and sulfates both of which are
harmless at low concentrations. Sulfur dioxide is available in both gaseous and liquid
forms. An alternative means of disinfection, such as ultraviolet (UV) light, would end the
use of chlorine altogether. UV irradiation prevents microorganisms from reproducing by
altering their DNA structure. Due to both environmental and safety concerns, many
wastewater treatment plants are converting from chlorine to UV disinfection. However, at
this time chlorine is almost universally used at plants that provide effluent for irrigation
because chlorine residuals can be continuously monitored, providing a positive indication
that the disinfection process is functioning properly. This treatment plant upgrade will
produce a Level 3 effluent as shown on Table 2.
Other major improvements to the liquid stream treatment process include modifying the
primary clarifier, constructing a new blower building, and installing aeration blowers.
Improvements to the plant's solids management program are also needed. Proper solids
treatment and handling is critical to the performance of a wastewater treatment plant.
Sludge must be removed from the plant consistently to ensure compliance with discharge
permit limits. In general terms, a successful solids management program consists of three
components: treatment, storage during wet weather, and beneficial reuse. The following
improvements are recommended:
• Constructing a new anaerobic digester and control building. The new digester
would increase the plant's solids treatment capacity.
• Installing a new sludge thickening system. A thickener would enhance the
performance of the anaerobic digesters.
• Constructing a facultative sludge lagoon. The lagoon would provide storage
during wet weather.
Mr. Steve Hall
December 22, 1994
Page 5
• Purchasing a new sludge truck. The new truck would allow the plant to
continue its successful program of sludge reuse on agricultural land as a soil
amendment.
Wetlands
The primary treatment function of wetlands at the Ashland wastewater treatment plant
would be to reduce the temperature of the treatment plant effluent. Unfortunately, it is
difficult to accurately predict the effects of a wetland on effluent temperature. Site specific
factors such as ambient air temperature, wind direction and speed, surrounding topography,
and vegetation type and density all affect wetlands water temperature. During certain
conditions wetlands may actually increase effluent temperature.
Wetlands also provide a degree of additional effluent treatment commonly referred to as
polishing. Ammonia, BOD, and solids concentrations can all be reduced. The degree of
treatment provided will vary seasonally.
Other benefits of wetlands include the creation of wildlife habitat, educational and .
recreational opportunities, and increased public awareness.
Phosphorus Removal System
To Attain the effluent phosphorus limit of 0.08 mg/L, the treatment system would likely
employ chemical precipitation of phosphorus. Biological phosphorus removal systems
normally can only achieve effluent phosphorus concentrations of 1 to 2 mg/L. The plant
effluent currently contains approximately 4 to 6 mg/L of phosphorus. The proposed
phosphorus removal system would utilize both biological and chemical methods. . The
system would consist of all of the components in the treatment plant upgrade described
previously as well as the following:
• A new primary clarifier.
• A chemical addition and mixing system.
• A recycle pumping system for biological phosphorus removal.
• Tertiary clarifiers for chemical phosphorus precipitation.
• Tertiary filters to remove the phosphorus associated with solids.
• Sludge gravity thickeners.
A soil treatment system may be an alternative to the chemical phosphorus removal system
described above. Certain types of soils absorb phosphorus due to their chemical makeup
and electrical charge. With a soil treatment system, plant effluent would be applied to a
large bed of soil with the appropriate chemical properties. Phosphorus in the effluent
Mr. Steve Hall
December 22, 1994
Page 6
would absorb into the soil. After percolating through the soil the treated effluent would be
collected and discharged. Over time all of the sorption sites on the soil would become
filled and the soil would be replaced.
At this time there are no full-scale soil treatment systems in operation. Therefore, prior to
construction of the system, an extensive pilot study should be performed to ascertain
whether a soil treatment system could treat plant effluent to the required levels. In
addition, information about operation and maintenance costs, soil replacement intervals,
and construction costs would be gathered.
To attain a Level 4 effluent, chemical addition and filtration must be added to the basic
plant upgrade. Chemicals such as alum are added in mixing chambers upstream of the
filters to aid in coagulation and enhance filter efficiencies. The filters will use a media of
both sand and anthracite to remove minute suspended solids. This operation will result in
lower effluent BOD concentrations. Disinfection efficiencies downstream of the filters are
also improved.
COST BENEFIT SUN1MARY
Table 3 shows the incremental costs associated with compliance of each permit
requirement. It should be noted that the costs for each alternative are still being refined
slightly. For consistency, we have used the 1991 Draft Facilities Plan and the 1994
Woodward-Clyde Facilities Plan Addendum costs updated with the current cost index.

BACKGROUND
The Engineering Division has measured the proposed sites to verify that adequate land is available for the
proposed land lease areas.
The six existing hangars shown on Exhibit "A" were constructed by individuals who were selected through a
lottery process. An advertisement was placed in the local newspapers. Each individual wishing to have their
name placed in the lottery was required to post a$2,000 refundable deposit with the City to be eligible for the
lottery drawing. A proposed lease agreement was given to each individual wishing to be placed on the eligibility
list An agreement was then negotiated with the six successful individuals which were in substantial conformance
with the proposed agreement. Paul Nolte reviewed and approved the lottery process and prepared the agreements
for the individual leases.
The Airport Commission has directed staff to evaluate the land lease amount and to require the successful
individuals to agree to paving the area and construct the storm drain system as shown on Exhibit "A". In
addition,the Commission is requiring each hangar to providea-paved parking area forone automobile.
In summary, the proposed lease requires the successful individuals to sign an agreement similar to the attached
agreement and pay the City a monthly land lease. The standards for constructing hangars will be established by
the Airport Commission. Hangars shall become the property of the City after the issuance of an occupancy

MEMORANDUM
TO Mayor Cathy Golden and City Council
FROM Keith E. Woodley, Fire Chief k�
SUBJECT Automatic Fire Sprinklers In Airport Hangars
In August of 1992, the Council adopted the 1991 edition of
the Uniform Fire Code, to improve our ability to provide
adequate fire protection for structures constructed within the
city. A significant part of this code is Appendix III-A, which
provides for adequate water supplies for firefighting purposes.
We have had two years of implementation experience with this
requirement of the code, and can truthfully state that it has
not, in any circumstance, prevented the construction of a
building anywhere within the city. The code is flexible, in that
it allows up to a 75% reduction of required water flow for fire
protection purposes, if the building is equipped with automatic
fire sprinklers. This means that building may still continue in
certain water deficient areas of the city. We have been applying
the sprinkler requirement fairly, and evenly, in numerous
situations throughout the city, irrespective of who owned the
properties or who was performing the construction. It is vitally
important to the integrity of our efforts that our city
government follow the same requirements when supervising
construction on city-owned property. If we do not, the integrity
and effectiveness of the fire department will be severely
compromised.
A number of years ago I witnessed the loss of an airplane
hangar due to fire at the Aurora, Oregon, airport. This complex
is very similar to our own small airport in Ashland. The hangar
and contents, burned with great intensity due to the fiberglass
and resins present in the aircraft in the building. The building
was "on the ground" in approximately 15 minutes, and damaged
nearby hangars and aircraft due to radiant heat. Given the low
fire flows at our airport, we will have difficulty controlling a
major hangar fire at the site. We need to fire sprinkler the
hangar buildings in accordance with the code requirements. To do
less will be a disservice to those other property owners who have
met the fire sprinkler requirement, and be viewed as a "do as I
say, not as I do" policy on the part of the fire department.

Mayor Catherine Golden
20 E. Main Street
Ashland OR 97520
Dear Mayor Golden:
As a 27 year Ashland resident and business owner, I have
observed good and bad changes to our city. I have tried to keep
a low profile, but feel it is time to be more involved with the
management of my city.
I know that the city council will soon appoint a new budget
committee and I highly recommend three candidates for the job.
They are Gene Morris, Jim Hibbert, and Dave Lewallen.
It was very exciting to find that citizens of this quality
would give their time to this very important position. I will
feel confident in how our city money is managed if any, or better
all, of these men have a part in the process.
For the good of our fine city please consider these
gentlemen seriously.
Thank you,
Z Brombacher

Memo: City Council Members
From: Concerned Residents of the Woodland Interface
Regarding: FIRE HAZARD IN THE WOODLANDS INTERFACE
Let's begin now to remove fire hazard materials in City owned land.
a. The City Ordinance regulating slash burning has shortened the allowable time
frame too much; revise the ordinance to again coincide with Jackson County burn
dates. Ideally, for two or three years while the heaviest clearing is done., slash burning
should be done on any day, October- April, when the air index is appropriate. (No cost)
b. Connect with AMERICORPS to clear land; it is a federally funded program with
approximately 45 insured volunteers. Director Bill Murphy, and his assistant, Alice
Pearce, are interested in working in Ashland. Their phone 503-899-1812, is the Applegate
Ranger Station. (No cost)
c. Residents paying the two separate taxes for woodland interface protection want those
monies to pay for the physical clearing of hazardous woodlands, not sent away to a state
fund, nor used to pay for consultant's studies! Revise the tax recipients . (No cost)
d. The City should apply for a grant to give per cent rebates to City residents for replacing
combustible roofs, (shakes& shingles), with non combustible roofs. (No cost)
e. Set aside a per cent of the Open Space Funding Tax, (meals tax), to pay for clearing
city owned land. (No cost).
f. Arrange a volunteer program with the Ashland Schools so that students help with the
clearing. It would be a"in kind" repayment for the special tax the schools are now
receiving. (No cost)
g. Arrange a volunteer program for any interested citizen to assist in the cleanup. (No
cost)

c. Residents paying the two separate taxes for woodland interface
protection want those monies to pay for the physical clearing of
hazardous woodlands, not sent away to a state fund, nor used to pay for
consultant's studies! Revise the tax recipients. (No cost)
d. The City should apply for a grant to give percent rebates to City
residents for replacing combustible roofs, (shakes & shingles), with non-
combustible roofs. (No cost)
e. Set aside a percent of the Open Space Funding Tax, (Meal's Tax), to pay
f o r c I e a r i n g City owned land. (No cost)

special tax the schools are now receiving. (No cost)
g. Arrange a volunteer program for any interested citizen to assist in the
cleanup. (No cost).'
It must also be noted that several roads leading into the woodland 5-17 viF�
