Assistant District Engineer East Valley Water Distric~ ,~, 1155 Del Rosa Avenue ~ :~' ' San Bernardino. California 92410 Re: Agreement bet~ee'n EVWD and the Shh Manuel'B'~*hnd of MissiOn Indians Mr. Buchwald. I am form~ly subrmttmg,a~,request to East Valley W~ter District (EVWD) to abandon the apparatus located on the San Manuel Indian ReserVation that is owned and operated by EVWD. I believe that abandoning the operation and maintenance of the apparatus will enhance East Valley Water District's position with regard to the apparatus in three ways: 1. Elimination Of OlS~r~tion and mairitenance costs 2. Ehnunat~on of both pubhc health and damage habfl~ty,f0r the system 3. Incre~ase EVWD's storage, and domestic water system capabilities With regard t~6 the increase storage and d~mestie, Water system capal0ilities, the San Manuel Band of Mis~sion fndians is prepai:ed lo offer to EYWD ~use 6f up to 750,000 gallons per d~y of storage and distribution on an e~nerg~ncy basis, provided the Amber Hills pump station remains operational. This means that should a failure occur to the ~mmediate west of the reservatmm the Tribe would allbw~ES/WD to pump through the reservation system from Mountain Shadows to thC affected areas. The benefit to th~)Tribe is tO be able to operate and maintain-its own domestic water system as part of~Sserting its inherent sovereignty. I hop& that an agreement can be reached between the Tribe and EVWD that will benefit both entities. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, pleas~ do not hesitate to contact me at (909) 648-8657. Sincerely, Eddie Phillips Environmental Protection Coordinator 1482 E.
