Proposed Ordinance Wo was presented and read, authorizing and directing the Executive Director to amend an Underground Gas Storage Easement Deed, dated March 31, Mr. Kaiser said there was an existing easement and. two leases on the Coldwater Creek treatment plant site when we acquired it (the subject of this and the next two ordinances.) These were for the storage of gas in the porous rock, lying'1000 feet or more below the surface. The Gas Corapany has apparently found that the gas has risen 30 or 40 feet, and it wishes to extend the easement and leases to reflect this change. The change is stated as including"the use of the Trenton limestone and its cap rock, the Maquoketa shale" instead of a certain number of feet.. This use in no way interferes with the District's use of the surface and subsurface treatment plant and.-sewer operations. There was considerable discussion including the question propounded by Mr. Concannon about insurance coverage in case of catastrophe. Mr. Kaiser said that he would have the Gas Company protect the District by''-,i'ts:rinsurance..coverage..

Mr. Enger said in May, 1970 the Board approved participation with St. Louis County to make a study of the remaining portion of the County outside the District. The total cost of the study which was to be made by E-W Gateway Coordinating Council was $170,000. One-half was to be paid by the Federal Water Pollution Control Adrainistration, now the Environmental Protective Agency, and the other" half by lo'cal'agencies. This $85,000 was agreed by the District and St. Louis County to be shared on an equal basis, with each giving $27,500 in cash and $15,000 in services. The study was divided into Phases and.. Phase was Grand Glaize-Fishpot and. adjacent south County areas, and Phase was to be the balance of the County. The District has expended $20,000 in cash and $5000 in services on Phase, leaving $7500 in cash and $10,000 in services for Phase. We have contributed $8000 of the $10,000 in services by this time for Phase, and so need $2000 more in services and $7500 in'cash. This ordinance is for the purpose of appropriating that $7500. St. Louis County has appropriated its share.
