Odin Rasco An update on the city's Sewer and Water Rate Study brought before the Placerville City Council May 14 indicates water and sewer rates will rise over the next five years due to increased costs and a need for more personnel.

During its Nov. 9, 2022, regular meeting, the council approved a $29,000 agreement with Bartle Wells Associates to conduct the rate study; since then, city staff has worked with the contractor preparing the study and conducting analysis, according to city Director of Finance Dave Warren.

The presentation given May 14 was a status update intended to discuss what options the council would like to see further explored and to clarify assumptions made in the calculations so far, Warren explained.

"We didn't want to get too far down the road without having a discussion with the council about these assumptions," Warren said.

Cost assumptions include a notable rise in retail water rates adopted by the El Dorado Irrigation District Dec. 11, 2023, meeting. The EID Board of Directors approved water rates for 2024 through 2028 with a 13% increase in the first year and an additional 12% bump for each following year. City and EID staff have met regarding wholesale water rates for Placerville for the same time period, with EID proposing city rates increase by the same percentages as retail rates. Details on the proposed wholesale rates, which go into effect in July, are planned to be brought before the City Council on May 28.

■ Emergency

With fire season here, El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office and the county Office of Emergency Services officials want to make sure residents know what to expect should wildfire strike and evacuation become necessary.

That started with a first-of its-kind wildfire evacuation drill Saturday morning as sheriff ’s deputies could be seen driving up and down Crystal Boulevard, a one way in and out road, near Logtown.

Michael Edward Raffety

Oct. 23, 1946 – April 28, 2024

Michael Edward Raffety, (the retired long-term editor of The Mountain Democrat), passed away April 28, 2024 at UC Davis Hospital in Sacramento.

Michael was 77 years old. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Cherie Raffety, and daughter Natasha Santos of Plymouth, son Wolfgang Raffety, son-in-law Peter Santos, and daughter-in-law Rortveaktey Raffety, and five grandsons: Alex, Evan, Leonidas, Michael and Lorenzo.

Michael, better known as Mike, was born Oct. 23, 1946 in Berlin, Germany. After World War II, Mike’s birth mother had difficulty finding food for her son, so she put him up for adoption. (Think of the U.S. efforts to bring food to the Germans in the aftermath of WW II. It was a massive operation called “The Berlin Airlift.”) Lucky for Michael, Charles A. and Lois F. Raffety arranged to adopt Mike and flew him to the United States of America where his new mother nursed him back to health. While in the eighth grade Mike became a naturalized citizen of the USA. After graduating high school, Mike joined the Navy. The Navy sent him to electronics training on the East Coast of the United States. Then the Navy sent him on tour in the Mediterranean. Mike had a terrific time “basking in the sun.” Next, he was sent on a tour in the South Pole. That too was just another great adventure for Mike. He loved it.

After his military service obligations were completed, he took some photography jobs and settled in California to continue his education.

He studied art, art history and photography. He received several degrees including a master’s degree from California State University after his children were born.

Mike met his future wife Cherie when he was a reporter for The Mountain Democrat and Cherie Albusche was a candidate for the Los Rios Community College Board of Trustees. He interviewed her and they started dating. Within a year they were married on Oct. 18, 1980. Yes, Cherie won the election and Mike became a devoted family man.

Over the years, Mike attended almost all of his children’s sports games: whatever it was ... soccer, baseball, volleyball, or basketball. He also took the the two children to 4-H meetings and taught them on vacations how to swim. He always enjoyed their company. He found time for family despite the fact that he often had two jobs, one full-time at The Mountain Democrat and another teaching art, or art history or photography or journalism for the Los Rios Community Collage.

Mike’s caring stretched beyond his immediate family. He cared about the community, his church and those less fortunate. He served as an American Legion Commander more than once and encouraged others to “honor those who served the cause of freedom.” Mike also served as President of the Mother Lode Lions three times. He supported their projects for kids and eyesight. He worked to get playground equipment at Indian Creek School.

He supported the mobile eyesight van which was set up to give eye exams. Local optometrists volunteer to help the homeless (and others) with eyesight check-ups, glasses and referrals, if needed.

The work he did with the service clubs was a labor of love, he also liked the camaraderie.

Mike liked to travel and his wife did too.

They saw, for instance, plays in New York City, Impressionist art in Paris, France, and the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, Russia. They took a walking tour of the gardens of Japan and let the kids pick where they’d like to go in England, Spain and Portugal. But no matter where the Raffetys traveled, Mike was happy to come home to the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills and his friends and neighbors.

The Celebration of Life for Michael Raffety will be on Saturday, May 25, at 11 a.m. at the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, 2979 Coloma St., Placerville. Parking is limited so it’s suggested that people park on Spring Street where parking spots are abundant.

All friends and family are also invited to the noon reception on May 25 which will be at the Mother Lode Lions Hall at 4701 Missouri Flat Road in Diamond Springs.

Eddie Thomas Keller

CRIME LOG

June 6, 1941 – May 4, 2024

Eddie Thomas Keller passed away peacefully on May 4, 2024. Eddie was born and raised in Sacramento, CA. He descended from a long line of early California settlers and was very proud of his heritage.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Eddie Jay Keller and Lois Pearl Lack, his siblings Bruce, Jeanneane and Walter, his wife Susan and his daughter Cheri. Eddie attended Sacramento High School and graduated in 1958.

It was in high school that Eddie decided to devote his life to public service. He wanted to help people.

He always knew that he would go to college to provide him the skills to fulfill his life’s mission.

He first attended Sacramento City College in 1958.

He then followed in his grandfather’s footsteps and attended Cal Berkeley in 1960 and graduated in 1962 with a BA degree in history. He then focused his studies on law at Hastings in San Francisco where he graduated in 1965 with an LLB Degree in Law. He then passed the CA State Bar Exam and decided to go into the Peace Corps. He lived in Chile for two years with the Alvarado family.

His primary assignment was to help organize and advise credit unions to establish a strong financial basis for Chile. He had kept close contact with his Chilean family and returned to the country with his children to meet this wonderful family. In 1968 he started his career with the Attorney General’s Office in Sacramento where he spent the next 21 years. One of the highlights of his career from his time at the AG’s office was a case called Keller v.

California State Bar, which was heard at the U.S. Supreme Court in 1990 and won in a unanimous decision. In 1989, Eddie was appointed to the El Dorado County Superior Court as a judge. Here he served for 20 years as a highly respected community leader. He was also nicknamed “Killer Keller” as he quickly gained a reputation with being tough on crime. While being tough on those who deserved it, he was also lenient when the correct circumstances warranted it. In the community, he founded multiple groups including the Children’s and Family Network, Teen Court, Job One and others.In 1970, Eddie married his first wife Susan Yost White who had two daughters, Cindy and Cheri. He and Susan then added two sons, Dynan and Justin. They raised their family in the Georgetown Divide where their girls could raise animals and their boys would enjoy playing baseball. Eddie was a 4H leader, a baseball umpire, served on the BOMUSD School Board and was a part of the Rotary Club. His wife Susan passed away in 2006. He then married Davis Morrow in 2010. She has 2 children, Don and Denise from a previous marriage. Eddie’s extended family includes Cindy’s husband David Carroll and Justin’s wife Julie Metesser. Eddie also has 7 grandchildren Whitney (Michael), Logan (Briana), Taylor, Nicole (Steven), Cassandra (Michael), Kaylie and Lucas, as well as 10 great grandchildren. Above all, Eddie loved God, his country, his family and dear friends, who will miss him severely.Services will be held on June 7th at the Foothill United Methodist Church at 10:30 am, 3301 Green Valley Rd, Rescue, CA. Donations in Eddie’s name can be made to The American Cancer Society, the ASPCA or The American Battlefield Trust.

Dr. Little’s Dental News Presented by Jeffery Little, D.D.S.

HOW ALCOHOL AFFECTS ORAL HEALTH The acids found in alcohol and the sugars in many mixers can damage your teeth.

Drinking alcohol also causes additional health problems that create higher risk for oral health issues. Regular drinkers are at higher risk for tooth decay and loss, while heavy drinkers are three times as likely to have permanent tooth loss. Alcohol causes dehydration and dry mouth, which reduces the salvia that helps wash away food and bacteria. Dry mouth causes more plaque, tartar, and tooth decay. Heavy alcohol consumption weakens the immune system, making it harder to fight infections like gingivitis (gum disease) and periodontitis (advanced/chronic gum disease). Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral

health effects of regular, longterm alcohol consumption.

We are strong believers in the importance of education and preventive care as key components to optimal dental health as well as overall health. That’s why we are focused on a healthy smile as well as a healthy body for all our patients.

Fire crews mop up after flames torched grass along eastbound Highway 50 early Monday afternoon.

Freeway fire burns 2 acres Noel Stack Editor

El Dorado Hills and Cal Fire firefighters teamed up to fight a string if small vegetation fires on the south side of Highway 50 near the eastbound Bass Lake Road exit Monday.

The fires, which began right before noon, scorched approximately 2 acres right next to the freeway and briefly threatened one structure, according to EDH Fire Deputy Chief Michael Lilienthal.

“Firefighters were able to stop the fire before any damage was caused,”

Blazes

Lilienthal shared with the Mountain Democrat. “The collaboration and teamwork between local fire agencies and Cal Fire provides a tremendous benefit to the residents of our county.”

The cause of the fires remains under investigation.

About an hour after the call came in crews remained on scene to mop up and ensure no new flare ups.

With grass drying out and the fire season at its start, Lilienthal advised all property owners, “Please make sure you protect your home by completing your defensible space this year.”

Continued from A1

There were no injuries and the fire is believed to have begun from the logging operation. Responding agencies were the Georgetown Fire Department, CalFire and the U.S. Forest Service.

On May 12 crews from the Georgetown Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire in the 2000 block of Breedlove Road just

after 9:30 a.m. The fire started as the result of an accident between a pickup and motorcycle, and involved some milling materials.

Georgetown Fire, Garden Valley Fire and U.S. Forest Service crews quickly controlled the blaze.

There were no injuries and crews remained on the scene mopping up for several hours.

What Causes It?

Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems.

Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate.

Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

1

What is the underlying cause?

2

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

3

How much treatment will your condition require?

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs.

Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

1

Increase Blow flow

2

Stimulate small fiber nerves

3

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

“My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

CHECK TO PROTECT

Agencies encourage residents to fix urgent vehicle safety recalls News release State and federal agencies are joining forces to educate California residents on free tools to check the recall status on their vehicles and have any open recalls fixed. This simple step is especially critical for the roughly 700,000 vehicles in California that still have defective, potentially deadly airbags almost a decade after the largest automotive recall in history.

The Office of Traffic Safety, New Motor Vehicle Board, California New Car Dealers Association, National Safety Council and Automobile Club of Southern California joined together during a news conference in a continuing effort to alert vehicle owners of the urgent safety risks of unchecked recalls and that they are free to repair.

The important message to “check to protect” the recall status of vehicles comes nearly 10 years since the start of the largest and most complex safety recall in automotive history, covering more than 67 million affected vehicles worldwide.

Referred to as the Takata Airbag Recall for the name of the now bankrupt parts supplier, the airbag canisters in defective airbag inflators could explode and spray sharp metal fragments toward the driver and passengers — like shrapnel from an exploding grenade. The defective airbags have killed 27 people in the U.S., including four California residents, and caused more than 400 injuries nationwide.

Since the Takata Airbag Recall started in June 2014, California has more vehicles still with defective airbags than any other state — roughly 700,000 vehicles, according to the NSC — posing a potentially life-threatening safety risk. More than half of California vehicles with defective airbags are in Los Angeles (more than 200,000), Riverside (more than 90,000) and Sacramento (more than 60,000).

“The Takata Airbag Recall has

helped make lifesaving repairs on millions of vehicles, but after nearly 10 years there are still more than a half a million vehicle owners in California who might not be aware they are driving an unsafe vehicle,” OTS Director Barbara Rooney said.

“We are joining forces to intensify our efforts so every Californian knows there is an easy way to check if their vehicle has an open safety recall — CheckToProtect.org — and that, if it does, it is free and easy to get it fixed.”

Certain vehicles made between 2000-10 are considered especially high risk of Takata defects that they now have a “do not drive” warning, underscoring the urgency to have car owners check for recalls.

“If your vehicle has an open safety recall, don’t wait; schedule to get it fixed for free at a local dealership right away,” NMVB Executive Director Tim Corcoran said. “Car dealerships are obligated to repair any recall free of charge, whether you purchased your vehicle there or not. We want California drivers to understand the urgency to get your recall fixed as soon as possible and that the service is free.”

“The safety of customers and fixing recalls is a top priority,” CNCDA President Brian Maas said. “All of our dealers want to make sure your car is working efficiently and safely any time you are driving.”

“Automobile recalls help ensure that all cars and trucks on our roads are safe to drive, not only for the occupants of that vehicle but also for all other road users who share the roads, including pedestrians,” AAA Senior Public Affairs Specialist Anlleyn Venegas said.

There more than 50 million vehicles in the U.S. with unresolved recalls, according to the NSC. With nearly 28 million drivers and 35.8 million registered vehicles — the most of any state — California has the highest number of unrepaired vehicles. n See SAFETY, page A8

Plenary focuses on partnerships, COMICS n SHOE by Jeff MacNelly investment in the watershed Lisa Yarbrough News release

A

t its recent Countywide Plenary for Water, El Dorado Water Agency officials brought together water and utility managers, business and community leaders, nonprofit organizations and staff from local, state and federal agencies to collaborate on sustainably managing the watershed.

EDWA General Manager Rebecca Guo kicked off the recent plenary by highlighting the Programmatic Watershed Plan, which identifies resource management strategies to address watershed threats, as well as a new report on the valuation of ecosystem goods and services in the upper American River watershed.

The valuation report found that the working landscapes (including working and natural lands) within the watershed are an incredibly valuable asset worth more than $1.6 trillion over a 100-year period.

“It was eye-opening to see the immense value of our watershed quantified and understand the multitude of beneficiaries who depend on the ecosystem goods and services that our watershed produces,” said Lori Parlin, El Dorado County District 4 Supervisor and EDWA Board Chair.

“We have an amazing natural capital asset at our doorstep — a ‘supershed’ — and I’m thrilled that the plenary is helping to increase collaboration and information sharing so we can protect the watershed now and into the future.”

Highlights from the panel discussion with David Batker, president, Batker Consulting; Michelle Wolfgang, partnership coordinator, Eldorado National Forest; Karen Garner, director of Planning and Building, El Dorado County; Phil Saksa, co-founder & chief scientist, Blue Forest; and Trevor Joseph, manager of Technical Services, Regional Water Authority, included: • Watersheds are the lifeblood of our communities: We need to look at watershed restoration and protection more holistically to build community resilience.

• Partnerships are key: Knowing what others are working on helps

Rates

build economies of scale and promotes landscape scale projects where multiple partners collaborate across jurisdictions.

• Investments are needed: The watershed benefits us all and even in times of a state deficit, we need to secure more funding.

• Policies should reflect our new realities: We need to incorporate into policies the impacts from wildfires, population increase, and economic development as well as account for the enormous value the watershed provides to residents and tourists.

• Understanding the value of the watershed will inform investments: Having quantitative data is critical to leveraging existing funding, encouraging re-investment and securing new resources.

Investment priorities should include rural landscapes: It is important to look beyond population centers and invest in natural capital projects which appreciate over time, help maintain built infrastructure projects and provide imperative goods and services to downstream urban areas.

“Understanding the immense value of the watershed reinforces the need for a cohesive strategy for actively managing our natural resources and increasing investments to make our watershed resilient for a changing climate and growing population,” said Guo. “We’re excited to bring together partners who have a vested interest in watershed health to facilitate the dialogue about ways to maximize our collective efforts.”

Breakout discussions focused on raising awareness of the watershed’s value especially for downstream beneficiaries. Attendees discussed how green infrastructure is intimately tied into gray infrastructure and how the value of work being done outlasts the time it takes to complete the project.

There was consensus that the scale of the solution needs to meet the scale of the problem and the first step is to break down silos between agencies by recognizing the interconnection of different projects, establishing multi-jurisdictional partnerships and leveraging interagency agreements to increase efficiencies.

Another factor in expected cost increases stems from a need for improved employee and talent retention and adding maintenance positions. The need for additional maintenance workers was made clear when the issue of hydrants in the city was brought up.

Vital pieces of water infrastructure for emergency response, fire hydrants have received limited attention in recent years, leading to situations where some are not working when they need to, according to Director of Public Works Nick Stone.

"These additional positions would take care of maintenance on a proactive level for all the fire hydrants," Stone explained. "Right now, we get frequent calls that hydrants aren't in service or there's issues with them at the worst times possible. These positions would go out proactively to make sure they're fully operational when they need to be.

I think that's a huge benefit."

El Dorado County Fire Protection District Board of Directors Vice President Mickey Kaiserman spoke in favor of the city taking on the additional costs that would allow for an increase in public works staff to conduct such maintenance.

"It's really important that the fire hydrants are taken care of," Kaiserman said. "It's really critical that we test all of those turnoff valves once a year and we're not doing that.

When there's a break in them, that's more people without water and more

havoc in the streets."

Stone also explained the need to expand the current Public Works superintendent position into a deputy director of Public Works role to account for changes in how much work the position takes on. Once example Stone used to illustrate a larger workload brought on by increased regulatory oversights is how the city's typical state sewer rate spill report for a year has jumped from three pages to 37 pages long. Other personnel adjustments include certification programs, water reclamation facility staff and utility service specialists.

Staff and EID costs assumed in the ongoing study are estimated to increase costs to the Water Enterprise Fund by $162,749 annually, equal to a 6.64% rate increase. Annual costs to the Sewer Enterprise Fund would increase by $524,579, meaning a 7.27% rate increase, according to data in the City Manager's report on the study.

Because city wastewater rates are "relatively high as compared to other agencies in the surrounding area," city staff recommended utilizing Measure H Funds to absorb debt service for past improvements to the Water Reclamation Facility, freeing up money to pay for additional personnel costs — Measure H funds cannot be directly used for personnel costs — and thereby avoiding the full 7.27% jump in rates.

The use of Measure H funds to take on Sewer

Enterprise Fund debts does come at a longterm cost, however.

Wastewater projects that rely on Measure H funds would be subject to delay. The most significant impact would be on the Clay Street to Locust Avenue sewer relocation project, which is entering the final design phase.

Construction for the project, estimated at $3 million, is not yet funded, and staff has recommended using Measure H funds. A reduction in those funds in order to cover debt service is expected to set the project back by at least a year, according to the study report.

Impacts would then "trickle down," affecting implementation of other projects currently in the design and environmental review phase, such as the Acacia Way sewer line replacement project currently slated for construction in 2027-28.

"Kind of sounds like we're robbing Peter to pay Paul," Councilmember David Yarbrough commented on the proposed plan of action.

The council voted to direct city staff and BWA to continue the study with the assumptions they had presented, including the use of $1,016,070 in Measure H funds to cover Sewer Enterprise Fund annual debt service and the cost of the service study.

The council approved the direction 3-1; Councilmember Yarbrough was the sole nay vote. Vice Mayor John Clerici did not vote, as he was absent.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis n TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s a day of simple pleasures that bring a smile to lips and heart. You’ll find beauty in the smallest of details and get constant affirmations of how rare and wonderful it is to experience the things you do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People will want what you offer, so don’t forget that the supply is limited. Because of this, the price should be raised. This probably has nothing to do with money. The commodity in question is something more subtle and complex than a financial deal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re a champion, a cheerleader and an advocate. You’ll stand behind, speak up for, give wings to -- you’ll elevate the ones who are lucky enough to be loved by you. Now, please turn some of it back to yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you let go of the need to be right, you’ll gain a considerable advantage. People lose more in the name of proving a point or standing by a bad decision than they do in the natural course of the game.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even though everyone is entirely responsible for their own situation, no one is entirely to blame for the situation they are in. You’ll get the help you need and give the help that is needed in the name of improvement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Apply your intelligence, indulge your curiosity, and play around with different perspectives and taking part in extraordinary discussions that could only happen at this moment in time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While much may go to the greedy, the spoiled and the cheaters, too, the top prize will go to the humble, curious searchers like you. Keep your eyes on your own scene and let the others deal with their own karma.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Thinking about how a choice might affect you in the long term will help you make the best decision for today. Perhaps there will be no longterm effects, but imagining the future will still center and focus you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Like most people, you typically don’t enjoy doing things you’re bad at. But since it’s very rare to be good at something you are doing for the first time, you’ll drum up the courage, openness and humility to give a new thing a try.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be in a position to let someone know who you are. If you find yourself exaggerating your strengths, focusing on the more glamorous aspects of your lifestyle or fudging the facts a bit, it’s a good indication that you really like someone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t have to know everything. Your hesitation to open communication to certain topics is understandable. Once innocence or ignorance are lost, there’s no going back.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You do what you do for reasons. Some are conscious, others mysterious, and all with their own curious math. Every time you add it up, the sum is a particular course of action. You’ll take it today.

Economy hinders the efforts to close state budget gap

A

s Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislators spend the next few weeks fashioning a state budget that’s plagued by a multibillion-dollar deficit, they can’t count on a booming economy to make their task easier.

California’s recovery from the devastating DAN WALTERS economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been sluggish at best, trailing what’s happening in the nation as a whole and in the state’s archrivals, such as Texas and Florida.

According to Employment Development Department data, there are 200,000 fewer Californians in the labor force — those employed or seeking employment — than there were in February 2020, just before the pandemic exploded. There are 500,000 fewer employed and 200,000 more unemployed.

While California’s unemployment rate of 5.3% in March was just a third of what it was at the height of the pandemic-induced recession, it was still the highest of any state, markedly higher than the national rate of 3.9% and nearly two percentage points higher than it was before the pandemic.

By the federal government’s more nuanced measure of employment called U-6, which counts not only the unemployed, but workers who are “marginally attached” to the labor force and those who are involuntarily working part time, the state’s 9.5% rate of underemployment is also the nation’s highest.

Those numbers imply an economy that’s not even operating at cruising speed, much less accelerating.

Even the state’s technology sector, centered in the San Francisco Bay Area, has cooled off as its once high-flying corporations announce layoffs virtually every day.

“California’s civilian employment growth has been essentially flat since the second half of 2022 while the U.S. has remained relatively healthy, resulting in the state’s unemployment rate rising faster than the nation,” the revised budget Newsom recently unveiled acknowledges.

Letters to the Editor Memorial Day meaning

Brainwashed

EDITOR: o many people Memorial Day heralds the advent of summer barbecues, parades and long weekends. When I pause and truly reflect on its essence, it is so much more profound than a seasonal marker.

For me, Memorial Day is a heartfelt remembrance of the sacrifices made and the lives forever altered in the name of freedom. At its core, Memorial Day serves as a testament to the power of collective memory. The weight of our nation’s history is carried forward not in the pages of dusty textbooks, but in the stories of our grandparents.

The silent reverence at cemeteries and the moments of silence during freedoms we often take for granted were hard won.

Each year as I observe this day I’m transported to moments shared with my grandfather, a veteran himself. Through his eyes I saw that Memorial Day was not just about remembering the fallen, but about cherishing the values which they fought for.

Memorial Day also serves as a bridge, connecting us from the past to the present and the sacrifices made to the liberties we enjoy. In the quiet moments amidst the hum of barbecues and the laughter of children, I’m reminded that these simple joys are bequeathed to us by those who believe in a greater future. They laid down their lives not for abstract concepts, but for tangible moments like a child’s first step, a shared meal or a community united in celebration. In embracing this day, I acknowledge the dual nature of my feelings — gratitude for the immense sacrifices made and sorrow for the immeasurable losses endured.

Beyond emotional depth, Memorial Day compels me to act. It is a call to be a better citizen, to engage in my community and to never forget the cost of our collective freedom. In essence, Memorial Day isn’t just a date on a calendar, but a continuous commitment. It’s a pledge to remember the honor and bravery of our fallen heroes and strive for a world where such sacrifices are memories of a distant past.

Feeling unsafe EDITOR: am writing this letter as I’m mad and upset with President Joe Biden.

Why? Because of all the protesters on college campuses. Biden will not send in the National Guard to the college campus protests. The local officers are risking their lives when the National Guard could come in and help.

But Biden will not do it as he needs the votes from the protesters.

These protesters have tents set up at the colleges.

A lot of other college students do not feel safe and this is not right at all. Many parents have paid a lot of money for their kids to go to school.

Now I hear a lot of colleges have canceled their graduations because of fear. This is sad. The kids are going to miss their graduation because of idiot protesters. The students have worked hard for this special day and now it’s not going to happen.

On Trump’s watch, none of this would be tolerated. I felt safe under Trump’s watch. I do not feel safe under Biden’s watch.

Continued from A6

California as Newsom shut down large segments of the state’s economy. Countless employers, particularly small businesses, never reopened after the health crisis eased and those that did survive have had to contend with inflationary costs, tighter loan conditions and changed consumer habits.

The budget blames stubborn inflation and the high interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserve System to tame inflation for California’s slowdown, but economies of other states have experienced the same factors and prospered despite them.

However, they don’t contend with factors unique to California, such as extremely high costs for housing, utilities and labor that make job creation more difficult here. Until recently, California has been losing population, thanks to outward migration to other states. The state has also seen employment shifts, particularly in technology.

Those conditions underscore the sluggish recovery that sets California apart from other states. For instance, Texas’ unemployment rate, 3.9%, is identical to the national rate while Florida’s 3.2% is even lower.

So, one might ask, where is California’s once-

Jensen

booming economy headed?

Newsom’s Department of Finance officials says it “has not modeled a recession scenario. However, if inflation takes longer to cool and interest rates remain high for longer than projected in the May Revision baseline forecast, continued tight credit conditions could further discourage economic activity.”

A few days before he released his revised budget, Newsom stood at the top of a Golden Gate Bridge tower to record a video celebrating the tourism industry’s recovery.

Visitors to California spent $150.4 billion last year, he said, surpassing the previous record of $144.9 billion in 2019.

That’s good news, even though an adjustment for inflation would probably reduce the recovery’s relative impact. But while it’s a high-profile economic sector, tourism is scarcely 3% of the state’s overall economy. It’s the other 97% we should be nurturing.

Drill

Continued from A1

Mountain Democrat photo by Eric Jaramishian

EDSO Deputy Joe Camarillo gives an evacuation order to Vinnie Zasa on Crystal Boulevard during the evacuation exercise Saturday morning. situation could be more complicated especially if residents refuse to leave, do not answer the door or have a secured gate at their property.

“If I couldn’t get in the gate, I would hit my air horn and siren and make a whole lot of noise,” said sheriff ’s deputy Joe Camarillo, who works

for OES. “If that didn’t work, I would probably just jump the fence and knock on the door.

“If they have a fortress built around and we can’t get in, we’ll give a bunch of PA announcements and say ‘Hey, there’s a fire coming,’ which is rare, but we have run into

that,” he added.

Following the drill was a town hall on evacuations and wildfire preparedness.

OES and EDSO officials picked Crystal Boulevard in an attempt to simulate what it would be like to conduct an evacuation on a road with no alternatives,

testing internal systems and processes while spreading awareness on how to properly prepare to evacuate in the event of an emergency.

“Obviously it was preplanned so people were ready for it,” Camarillo said of Saturday’s drill.

“But if we were in a real life situation, if we are making a lot of noise, they would probably come out of their houses asking what is going on and we would let them know, but I think it was well set up and organized from the get go.”

As if fire was just around the corner, deputies went doorto-door in the area telling those who participated to evacuate to the shelter. Staff from EDSO, the California Highway Patrol, Cal Fire, the U.S. Forest Service and EDC’s Office of Wildfire Preparedness and Resilience were all present during the town hall held at Union Mine to educate the public on wildfire preparedness and evacuation.

“We are relatively new up here, so it is a good thing to know how it all works and comes together,” said Crystal Boulevard resident Vinnie Zasa, who has lived in the small community for four years. hepacked essentials, including paperwork, clothes, water, snacks and passports.

Though recognizing it was just a drill, other residents told the Mountain Democrat they obtained a better understanding of how the co-responsible agencies would handle evacuations, including the use of EDSO’s emergency notification service RAVE and the new evacuation warning and order information website, perimetermap. com.

Joan Pohlman, who

Safety

has lived in the area for 15 years, said she got the RAVE notification, but would not wait around for an order in the case of a fire.

“Normally, I would have been frantically packing and getting my stuff together, but we were told to not leave until the deputy comes,” said Pohlman, who added she expected more traffic during the exercise. “I wouldn’t care who comes to my door at any time at that point.”

EDSO Lt. Troy Morton said the drill went well and helped emergency personnel and residents gain insight on preparedness.

“The ... main questions that were posed were people asking why they didn’t get the alert or why the deputy showed up before or after the alert,” Morton told the Mountain Democrat, who explained that either the alert or a deputy could come first.

“It depends how long it takes for a deputy to drive to your house versus how long it takes for the OES team to draft and send the alert.

If deputies are close by, the deputy might show up to your door first. If the deputies are far away, you may get the alert first.”

Deputies and other first-responder professionals gathered at the Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Protection District’s Station 44 Saturday morning to discuss how the drill would coincide with the use of RAVE and perimetermap.com.

The drill included a mock incident where a fire incident commander and a sheriff deputy worked behind firefighting apparatus to determine which areas would be evacuated while figuring out what resources to deploy, common practice among the first responders,

MORE INFO Evacuation & Emergency information:

eldoradocounty.ca.gov/ Public-Safety-Justice/ Safety-Justice/sheriff/ operations/oes Register for RAVE at:

ready.edso.org according to Morton.

EDSO and OES plan to make the evacuation drills a yearly program, Morton shared, with one on the West Slope and one in the Tahoe Basin.

Both would include town halls.

Enrolling in RAVE, getting easier access to perimetermap.com, familiarizing oneself with exit routes from their neighborhoods, preparing for evacuation with a kit containing essential items, medications and important documents and only trust information from verified sources, including the EDSO, are all points the law enforcement agency wants the public to understand.

“A more prepared and informed community is safer,” Morton said.

“If we can prepare and inform them, it’s going to be safer for the community.”

Regardless of the evacuation and warning tools, going door-todoor remains EDSO’s preferred method of notifying the public it’s time to move.

“Now, we hope you get our RAVE notification and can go on Perimeter Map but that is not going to stop us from doing our job and go door to door because we cannot rely on technology to get to you,” Morton explained.

In February the California Department of Motor Vehicles started including vehicle safety recall information on vehicle registration renewal notices for vehicles with open recalls.

Later this month, the DMV will also start issuing notices to the last known registered owners of vehicles on file with defective Takata airbags that have not been fixed.

Due to automakers and even the DMV not always having the most

recent vehicle owner data on file, it is critical that vehicle owners use the NSC’s free Check to Protect program to check the recall status of their vehicle online. The program encourages vehicle owners to check for any open recalls every three months and to schedule free recall repairs as soon as a fix is available.

The website allows you to determine if your vehicle is eligible for a free repair by entering the license plate or vehicle identification number.

Gold Trail musicians celebrate their awards at the Music in the Park competition.

■ Bands earn awards at regional competition Kristi Webber

Gold Trail Union School District

M

iddle school students from Gold Trail School’s music program participated in the annual Music in the Park competition, a competitive music festival that showcases Bay Area and Northern California middle and high school performing arts ensembles.

Gold Trail’s Sixth-Grade Beginning Band received 1st place in the Middle School Concert II Division, the Symphonic Band (advanced band) received 2nd place in the Concert I Division and the before-school Jazz Club received 1st place in the Jazz Division.

Trumpeter Brooke Jahn, an eighth-grader, who serves as the school’s student body president as well as the student rep for Gold Trail’s board, was awarded the Outstanding Jazz Solo award.

The students also earned the Esprit de Corps Award at the

April 27 event, which recognizes the participating organization that displays an exemplary attitude of positive support and outstanding personal behavior throughout the festival weekend.

“I’m very proud of the students’ musical achievements at the festival this year, but this last award was special for me as an educator,” music program Director Robert Keedy said. “Outside of me wanting students to enjoy and perform well on their instruments, there are ‘life skills’ that I hope all of my students get out of their time in a band, such as learning how to work as a team, being empathetic with each other and being good citizens on and off the stage. The Esprit de Corps captures some of these values and I was thrilled that Gold Trail was the recipient of this citizenship award.”

“What I am most proud of is that we received the Esprit de Corps award for embodying the spirit of caring, respect and camaraderie,” Gold Trail Union School District Superintendent Keri Phillips added. “Our young people have talent and bright futures. This honor is very special and I am thrilled that our students were selected to receive this year’s award.”

Beginning her journey in educational libraries, Tignanelli excelled in assisting students with complex research and collaborating with faculty to enhance academic resources.

“She is our No. 1 cheerleader and a confidential, quiet ear for those who need her.

EDCOE Deputy Superintendent Kevin Monsma, above left, and El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala, right, congratulate Anne Tignanelli on her award. Below, EDCOE’s Payroll Department was honored. It’s dedicated staff ensures that all EDCOE employees receive timely and accurate pay.

department’s pivotal role in ensuring that all EDCOE employees receive timely and accurate pay, a fundamental aspect of educational administration.

The Payroll Department — led

by Manager Nancy Lawrence and comprising four dedicated payroll specialists — manages the payroll for more than 600 employees.

These employees include full-time staff, who receive monthly payrolls, and parttime team members, such as extended day employees, who receive supplemental payrolls.

The department handles routine payroll tasks and excels in customer service, reassuring and supporting all EDCOE colleagues.

“The Payroll Team is extremely honored to receive the Excellence in Education Award and we extend our thanks to all members of the EDCOE team for the special recognition,” Lawrence said. “As the department leader, I am proud that our team is collaborative and has a strong relationship with program staff to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of paychecks for all EDCOE employees.

Our payroll specialists — Kristin Arnal, Rayegon French, Diana Sampson, and Lisa Velasco — contribute unique strengths and innovative ideas that continually enhance our payroll processes.

They also bring a lighthearted spirit to our office; if you visit the Business Department during break time, you might even catch a lively snowball fight in our payroll pod.”

“Their unwavering passion for education and exemplary service has significantly enriched our systems,” Manansala noted.

The department’s commitment extends beyond traditional duties. Team members participate in backto-school orientations and support staff

with any inquiries regarding payroll issues. In line with EDCOE’s commitment to innovation, the department is transitioning to electronic timesheets to improve efficiency and accuracy. This initiative includes a phased implementation of the Frontline digital absence request and timesheet system, in collaboration with the IT department, to streamline operations and reduce manual entry.

The department’s proactive approach and diligent work ethic have been instrumental in maintaining high morale among EDCOE employees. The team’s efforts to automate processes and their continuous engagement with staff to refine these systems have made a significant impact, ensuring that all employees feel supported and valued.

With the Excellence in Education Award, EDCOE recognizes the Payroll Department’s critical role and exemplary commitment to service. It is a testament to their hard work and dedication, which though often behind the scenes, is vital to the smooth operation of the entire organization.

Another Excellence in Education Award was given to Laura Smith, honoring her as an outstanding certificated team member.

Smith is a cherished figure in the educational community, exemplifying passion, resilience, and innovation throughout her career. Her journey began at California State University, Sacramento, where she earned her bachelor’s in psychology and multiple teaching credentials. Smith’s dedication to selfimprovement and her commitment to child development have been evident since she started as a student assistant in EDCOE’s Extended Day Program in 1999.

Following notable positions, including serving as a behavioral

technician specializing in working with children diagnosed with autism, Smith rejoined EDCOE in 2006. Her profound impact on the educational community began when she was promoted to a teacher in the Rescue Elementary School primary autism class.

Currently serving at the EDCOE program site Camino Upper, formerly named Winnie Wakeley, she continues to inspire students and colleagues with her innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Most recently, Smith collaborated on a classroom-based core board communication system adopted across multiple classroom programs, showcasing her ability to drive educational innovation.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we celebrate an exceptional member of our EDCOE family, whose dedication and commitment have profoundly impacted the lives of many students and families,” Manansala remarked during the award presentation. “It is my personal honor to present this award for a certificated team member to the very deserving Laura Smith.”

Smith’s work extends beyond the classroom.

She mentors new teachers, particularly in Special Services, and fosters a collaborative and supportive learning environment. Her approach to education is described as being “all in” when supporting teaching and learning with passion, grace and grit.

“I would not be able to accept this award without the support and acknowledgment of my team, including the relationships I feel so fortunate to develop with my students and their families,” Smith said.

For her unwavering dedication, innovative teaching methods and significant contributions to the lives of students with diverse needs, Smith was celebrated with heartfelt applause.

GROW FOR IT! Improving irrigation efficiency

E

veryone is starting to turn on their irrigation systems this time of year. We’ve had a couple of good Dolores Morrison years of rain, which UCCE Master Gardener of has helped maximize El Dorado County the efficiency of our irrigation systems and not only save water, but has also allowed our plants to develop good root systems that will help them survive the next drought.

Here are some of the best tips for improving irrigation efficiency: • Know what type of soil you have. Sandy soil will need shorter, more frequent irrigation and clay soil does better with slower, longer and less frequent irrigation.

• Group plants with similar water needs together.

• Use mulch to cover your soil to help moderate soil temperatures and retain moisture.

• Irrigate in the early morning hours to help reduce evaporation.

If you have trees in your lawn, know that trees and lawns have very different water needs. Lawns need more regular water to a depth of about 6 inches. Your trees need about 10-12 inches of deep watering. Sprinkler water hitting tree trunks may cause crown rot and damage the tree. When a tree is planted in a lawn, they both compete for resources. Pull your lawn away from the trunk of the tree out toward the outer diameter of the tree canopy.

Knowing when and how much to water will ensure your plants and trees thrive.

Young trees, less than 5 years old, may need about 10-15 gallons of water a week. An easy way to apply this water is with a 5-gallon bucket with a 1/8-inch hole on the bottom. Place the bucket next to the tree, fill it two or three times a week. Established trees will need less frequent but deeper watering. A soaker hose circling the tree starting a few feet out from the trunk and continuing until the outside of the canopy can do the job. Depending on the tree, deep watering a few times during summer may be enough. The Sacramento Tree Foundation has some great information on tree irrigation sactree. org/tree-care-tips/how-to-water-trees.

Eliminate runoff! Runoff from residential irrigation not only wastes water but is a major source of pollution in our waterways. Residual pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer may cause a stream of water that could kill healthy organisms or encourage excess plant growth, creating a damaging imbalance. Turn your irrigation on, note the time when it starts to run off. Wait 30-60

minutes and run again. Repeat until you know the water has reached the correct depth. Set your controller to run for the needed multiple short periods. The El Dorado Irrigation District has more information on how to determine the best turf irrigation at eid.org/about-us/district-information/ faqs.

Finally, know that even though the rains may have stopped, your landscape will need less water in the spring than in our hottest months of July and August, and its needs will reduce in September, even though the rains haven’t yet started. Consider adjusting your irrigation controllers to reflect these needs. Commercially available smart controllers that use either soil moisture sensors or weatherbased data to adjust irrigation can help you not waste water. EID is currently offering rebates for such controllers. Visit eid.org/customers/waterefficiency. While you are on that site check out all the helpful links and ideas for water efficiency indoors and out.

n May 28 members of the public are invited to join the next meeting of the El Dorado Chapter of the California Native Plant Society (to be held in person, not on Zoom). After chapter business is handled, attendees can enjoy hearing local experts Debra Ayres and Sue Britting present a visual and factual tour of the Pine Hill area.

The Pine Hill area of western El Dorado County is a football shaped “island” of 26,000 acres that stretches from Cameron Park in the south to Salmon Falls Road in the north. It is defined by the soil type, called gabbro or Rescue soil, which is home to plant diversity many times the diversity of the richest places in the world. The Pine Hill region contains only 0.05% of the area of California but contains about 7% of the state’s total plant species, including eight species listed as rare. Approximately 5,000 acres

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be

aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site - www.

Auction.com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 164637. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 2802832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale, or visit this internet website www.auction.com or https:// auction.com/sbl079/ for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case Ts# 164637 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

MCFADDEN, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN AND ROGER MILLER, AN UNMARRED MAN AS TENANTS IN COMMON, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for CHANGE LENDING, LLC as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4661 TROTTER LANE, SHINGLE SPRINGS, CA 95682 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $536,253.52 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Specifically, the project would consist of up to 800 residential units on approximately 358 acres, an 8-acre village park with recreational amenities, and approximately 335 acres of public and private open space. The balance of the area would be comprised of roads and rights of way. Other features of the plan include a network of pedestrian trails and pathways that would connect to and enhance existing and proposed trails in the area, including the El Dorado Trail (please refer to the DEIR document for more detailed project description and associated figures.)

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This DEIR discusses that potential significant environmental impacts that may result from the project include Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geologic, Soils and Paleontological Resources, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use, Noise, Public Services and Utilities, Recreation, and Transportation.

(ben@veruxinc.com) 5/22, 5/24 13229 NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING EL DORADO IRRIGATION DISTRICT FIVE-YEAR CONSERVED WATER TRANSFER The El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) proposes to adopt a Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Section 15000 et seq., Title 14, California Code of Regulations) for the EID Five- year Conserved Water Transfer Project (proposed project). EID plans to transfer up to 740 acre-feet (AF) annually of its pre1914 water right water to Westland’s Water District (WWD). The proposed project includes potential annual transfers of conserved water from 2024 – 2028.

In the spring of 2022, EID completed construction of the Upper Main Ditch Piping Project (piping project). The piping project involved converting the earthen unlined Upper Main Ditch that delivered water from El Dorado Forebay to the Reservoir 1 Water Treatment Plant to a piped conveyance (Main Pipeline). The water made available for transfer is water that was previously lost through evaporation and seepage from the Upper Main Ditch and is now conserved through operation of the Main Pipeline. Under the proposed project, EID’s diversions from the South Fork American River (SFAR) at the El Dorado Diversion Dam will not change. The same amount of water will be diverted into the El Dorado Canal and conveyed to the El Dorado Forebay. However, because EID is able to meet the same customer consumptive demands as they did prior to the pipeline project with less water, the conserved water would either remain instream in the SFAR or be used for non-consumptive hydropower production and then returned into the SFAR and flow into Folsom Reservoir. From Folsom Reservoir, the conserved water would be re-regulated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for delivery to WWD for use in their service area south of the Delta. The actual transfer quantity of conserved water will depend on hydrologic conditions and consumptive demand patterns leading up to and during the transfer period; however, the quantity will not exceed 740 AF annually during 2024 – 2028.

EID has directed the preparation of an Initial Study (IS) on the proposed project in accordance with the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and EID’s guidelines for CEQA compliance.

The IS describes the proposed project and assesses the proposed project’s potential to result in significant adverse impacts on the physical environment. It concludes that the proposed project would not have any potentially significant or significant adverse effects on the environment and, therefore, no mitigation is required or proposed and as such a Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared.

DOCUMENT REVIEW & AVAILABILITY: The 30-day public review period begins on May 15, 2024 and ends on June 13, 2024.

A copy of the IS/ND is available for public review at 2890 Mosquito Road, Placerville, CA 95667, or online at http://www.eid.org/ceqa.

PUBLIC HEARING: The EID Board of Directors intends to consider adoption of the ND at its regularly scheduled board meeting on June 24, 2024 after 9:00 a.m. at EID’s main headquarters building located at 2890 Mosquito Road in Placerville, CA.
