Regional Transportation Plan Update Michael Litschi, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Section Manager of Long -Range Strategies, reported that there were concerns regarding the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines, which required OCTA and Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) to identify full funding for the Corridor B (tunnel) project. Clarification was received in writing from the FHWA regarding programming projects in the Southern California Association of Governments' 2008 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). OCTA and RCTC could split the tunnel project into a study phase with a specific amount of money, and the balance of the project could go in the strategic plan of the RTP. OCTA and RCTC have agreed to split the project into a study phase and construction phase, which would preserve the $15.8 million in federal funds earmarked for studying the tunnel project. Member Campbell complimented OCTA and RCTC staff for their work in clarifying the concerns. 4. Update on Riverside County — Orange County Geotechnical Efforts Tony Rahimian, Consultant from RMC Inc., reported that the permit applications have been submitted to the United States (U.S.) Forest Service along with the borings plan. The U.S. Forest Service staff anticipates that at least three of the boring sites will be have a permit by March 25, and drilling could begin by mid -April. In addition, should everything stay on schedule; the feasibility study could be finalized by the end of 2009, and at that time, there could be a recommendation on the feasibility of the tunnel. There was additional discussion regarding: • The Metropolitan Water District (MWD) met with the feasibility study team to share their preliminary results, which have not been finalized. The preliminary recommendations are that the ground water condition is more favorable than what was originally anticipated; however, the rock mass condition is not as good as previously envisioned. The use of tunnel boring machines could be limited and blasting methods may be a feasible choice, which could take longer to construct and potentially result in more cost. March 21, 2008 Page 2 of 3 MINUTES Riverside Orange Corridor Authority Meeting (ROCA) 4. (Continued) • The MWD requested that RCTC or ROCA consider assisting them with their geotechnical studies with the federal funds that Congressmen Calvert and Miller set aside for this project. RCTC had determined that it would not be an appropriate use of those funds. 5. ROCA Members' Reports There were no ROCA Members' reports. 6. Public Comments There were no public comments. 7. Closed Session There was no Closed Session conducted. 8. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 10:28 a.m. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Riverside Orange Corridor Authority is scheduled for Friday, May 30, 2008, and will be held at the Orange County Transportation Authority Headquarters, 600 South Main Street, First Floor — Room 154, Orange, California.
