10 The Nevada County Nugget Wed., Jan. 24-4973 . ~ Penn Valley News by Elsie Dillberg , Several nice, cold-but nice days greeted us this past week and they were . certainly welcome after the deluge of rain. Everything at our end of the valley.is extremely wet and long overdue for a drying out period. Congratulations are in order for Harry and Sarah Burdett, who live on the east corner of Easy Street and Siesta Drive. On Thursday of last week they welcomed a new member into their family. Deanna Marie was born at Sierra Nevada Hospital and weighed 6 pounds and 2 ounces. Visitors for Tom and Carol Cox over the’past weekend were Tom’s mother Joan Cox and her grandson, Kenneth Goff, On Saturday they drove to Virginia »--City for the day and stopped in Reno enroute home for dinner. * Last Wednesday evening “there was a meeting of the Penn Valley Betterment Association, held at Ready Springs School. Attendance was small as, there was also a dinner at the fire hall for the Penn Valley Riders. Ivan Branson opened the meeting and spoke on the problems that we are having in and around the valley. Much of the county government is town-orientated and that in review of the events that took place in the county in 1972 there was nomention made of the county park or the sewage disposal-plant. The dump road, Indian Springs Road to McCourtney is in-very bad condition. Kim Paine, a representative from ‘Claire Berryhill’s office was in attendance at the meeting and he spoke briefly. He said Mr. Berryhill is interested in our problems. David Irvin talked to the group about the sewage disposal plant. As of the present time, the water quality control board has not decided upon a definite site but that the one NEW LOOK under closest consideration now is the May ranch, which is located in the Camp Beale area at the end of Spenceville Road. He discussed briefly the charges to the people of this community if this becomes a reality. The hookup or entry fee would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $400,° but this does not include the changeover from the present septic system. Also there would be a $2 $7 a foot charge from a’ residence to the common line. Also on the agenda was a discussion of the County Park, as of the present time the county owns the land and has use of the interest on the $175,000. Present plans call-for the demolishing of the building in the form of bids. The Penn Valley Fire Department was denied a permit to burn the buildings for fire practice. The Penn Valley Betterment Association has been _instrumental in obtaining the 45 mph speed through the majority of the valley and they have worked closely with the Ready Springs School Board in stabilizing the tax for this area. The nominating committee met Monday night and the results of that meeting will be forthcoming. On Thursday afternoon, a group of ladies met at the home of Ellie Pettigrew for sewing and an afternoon of just getting together. Those who enjoyed the day were Elaine Vogt, Evelyn Mitchell, Carolyn Crane, Lynn Hostetler, Janet Cooper, Ellie and yours truly. Ellie’s neice, Gail Wetterstrom; from Omaha, Nebrasks, arrived Monday for an extended stay with Ellie and _Diane.

Three month test Breakthrough on Tahoe sewage TAHOE VISTA Reports on a $19,600, 3-month test of the underground’ disposal of reclaimed water at a site near the proposed 6 million gallons per day (mgd), Tahoe-Truckee regional sewage treatment plant near Truckee, were hailed as a success Thrusday by Ossian R. Butterfield, general manager of the Tahoe Truckee Sanitation ° Agency, (T-TSA). “‘This breakthrough gives us a plan for disposal that satisfies everyone. It is recommended by the environmental impact statement, the engineers, and Satisfies the Pyramid Lake Indians. It requires no change in ‘he adopted Truckee River standards, provides maximum treatment to protect the Reno water supply and the Truckee Basin water supply,’’ But‘terfield said. The tests were the final detail to be checked on Plan H, one of 14 alternates for treatment and disposal of Tahoe Truckee area sewage. Costs of studies on the & plant is expected to be negligible,’ the report concludes, stating that. the actual Plant flows would be only one twentieth of the test flows. With the feasibility of Plan H established, the T-TSA board authorized Butterfield to have its financial consultants; Bartle Wells Associates, San Francisco, to draft a financial feasibility study predicted on the ground disposal alternate. The directors made it clear, however, they were adopting no alternate until public hearings, slated for February, have been concluded. The under ground disposal method would-be coupled with the highly sophisticated treatment process as reported by Dr. T. T. Galloway, University of California, at the Reno hearing. The hearing was attended by water quality task forces of both Califfornia and Nevada. The treatment process goes beyond the tertiary treatment 'discharged into the Truckee without lowering its water quality standards. Since a 1967 CaliforniaNevada agreement forbids direct discharge of any sort to the Truckee River, the ground disposal alternate is favored, using the tested new treatment process.
