IN RE: BRIEFINGS ~ QuarterlY Undate on Snrinq Hollow Water proiect (Gary Robertson. utility Director) Gary Robertson and John Bradshaw, Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, made presentations to the Board. Mr. Robertson reported on the Water Treatment Plant, advising that two of the three 2-million gallon concrete tanks are complete, site grading is 95% complete, and raw and finished water lines between the reservoir and plant are complete. He also reported on the status of the Glenvar Pump Station, the South Transmission Lines, and advised that staff will be meeting with local civic groups in March/April to discuss alternate routes for the North Transmission Line. The cost will be lOb February 14, 1995 L- approximately $3.5 million and will be paid by savings realized from other portions of the project. John Bradshaw, Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern, reported on the dam as follows: with the pool at 1335 feet the reservoir is doing fine. They are still observing a net inflow into the pool at this elevation which is better than was expected. When pumping stops, there is a continual increase in the level of the pool which is a positive factor, even with evaporation, the expected losses from dam seepage and the reservoir seepage which was less than they anticipated. Mr. Bradshaw advised that they expect a reversal of this trend at maximum pool of 1410 feet with seepage through the dam and reservoir a little greater. Mr. Bradshaw emphasized that they were confident that this will be a manageable amount which they expected, and that the grouting has reduced the amount of outflow. He reported that they did not feel that the seepage in any way endangers stability, function or safety of the dam. He advised that all dams experience seepage, but roller compacted concrete dams have a tendency to heal themselves. Mr. Bradshaw recommended a test grouting program in the end portions of the gallery to confirm the water source and assist in the natural healing process. The test grouting program will last approximately 30 days. He reported that the filling of the reservoir is on schedule and will be completed well in advance to support the treatment plant. He advised that the February 14, 1995 107 ::::J Spring Hollow Reservoir is a good, stable, sound project for the Valley. Mr. Robertson advised that the additional grouting is estimated to cost $50,000. Following the test, staff will determine whether to recommend additional grouting. IN RE: NEW BUSINESS ~ Request for Annroval of Amendment to Inteqrated Automated Library System contract to Allow Botetourt County to Join the System. (Snencer Watts. Library Director) A-21495-1 Mr. Watts advised that in 1990, Roanoke County entered into a contract with the cities of Salem and Roanoke to establish and maintain a joint automated library system. Botetourt County was invited to join at that time but was unable to do so. On May 12, 1994, Botetourt County formally applied for membership as a full partner. Based on terms outlined by the Roanoke Area Libraries (RAL) Committee, an amendment to the original contract has been drafted. Mr. Watts reported that Botetourt's participation in RAL will reduce shared operational costs and central site capital costs for the original partners with Roanoke's net savings approximately $4,500 for next year. In response to a question, Mr. Watts advised that Botetourt County did not have to share in the original cost 108 February 14, 1995 ,..- - because the main frame computer has depreciated substantially and they will have to pay for the future costs.
