WHEREAS:

1.  Threats to water quality exist at the four United States Department of Energy (DOE) sites within the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board's (RWQCB) jurisdiction.

2.  These sites are: Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, located in Menlo Park, San Mateo County; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, located in Berkeley, Alameda County; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore Site and Sandia National Laboratory both located in Livermore, Alameda County.

3.  The DOE has established an Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Plans to bring its facilities into compliance with the letter and spirit of the state and federal environmental laws, regulations, and requirements.
Communication and coordination with State agencies is critical to DOE's success in this endeavor.

4.  State Board Resolution 94-103 approved the initial DOE grant request providing financial resources of $1,080,167 to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and RWQCB to fund oversight work from 1 October 1994 to 30 September 1999. The grant amendment provides an additional $300,000 to fund oversight work from 1 October 1999 to 30 September 2002.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

The State Water Resources Control Board authorizes the Executive Director or his designee to execute a grant amendment in the amount of $300,000 with the Department of Energy regarding State oversight of the four DOE facilities within the San Francisco Bay Region.

The undersigned, Administrative Assistant to the Board, does hereby certify the foregoing is a full, true and correct copy of a resolution duly and regularly adopted at a meeting of the State Water Resources Control Board held on August 19, 1999.
