Re: Reclamation of Lodi Lake
Dear Co,:ru:il Members
This is my third attempt at reclaiming Lodi Lake. Some of you
remember my first proposal ten years ago, others remember my last
proposal in 1991. Since that time I have hired Monterey Institute
of International Studies (MIIS) to help me apply for all city,
county state and federal permits, that is, those required for the
reclamation process of Lodi and other lakes.
After speaking with Mr. Ronsko at Public Works last week, it is to
be understood that item # III. B. 6. on page 3 of Controlled
Ecosystems Business Plan, shall be defined that when the bottom of
the lake is removed, there will be no sealer laid down. The reason
being that percolation should be allowed to occur to replenish
local ground waters which feed all area wells. Since the water
will be filtered as it is pumped into the lake from the Mokolumne
River, it will aid in purifying ground waters used by all.
Ms. Jennifer Perrin City Clerk has scheduled me for the October
20th, 1993 City Council Meeting. I am on the 7 PM Communications
agenda and will be heard at that time.
Seemingly the city is still unwilling to come up with any funds to
hire my company to reclaim the lake. I am presently working on a
national 6 hour telethon called "Operation Clean Lakes", it will
be a nonprofit organization accepting donated funds, energy,
equipment and materials. Those gifts will be used by Operation
Clean Lakes to hire Controlled Ecosystems to not only reclaim Lodi
Lake but as many as possible.
-1.-
I am asking again, please allow me the opportunity to reclaim Lodi
Lake as I have proposed in my Business Plan.
I am enthusiastically looking forward to your continued support.
Sincerely

I. Business Concept
A. Overview
Purpose: To restore all bodies of water back to their natural
unpolluted states by Phase I: Reclamation and Filtration, and
Phase II: Augmentation of restoration by mariculture and
aquaculture systems. Starting with lakes, then in any order,
canals, streams, estuaries, bays and intertidal areas. The
culmination leading to restoration of all Oceans.
Proposal: Begin by reclaiming the lakes of California. Being that
each lake is somewhat unique in its existence, each may require a
different approach but all will generally be dealt with in
essentially the same manner.
Reason For Endeavor: Generally speaking present day lakes have
become too polluted for safe recreation, and have entered a state
whereby all living things within them and those that use them are
endangered.
B. Product Firm
Upon returning from active duty in 1966 I saw our pristine water
ways becoming polluted and something within myself told me I must
undertake a most arduous course in my life. In the summer of 1967
I founded Controlled Ecosystems (then called Controlled Ocean
Product Ecosystems - COPE Enterprise), began my invention of
mariculture and filtration systems, and started my education in the
field of Oceanography to lend credence to and validate my
credibility. It was my manifest destiny at that time as it is now,
to see that all of my time and effort brings this dream to a
fruition of reality.
COPE Enterprise was meant to be the parent company however as it
turns out it will be a subsidiary of CE. COPE Enterprise will be
the exclusive company dealing with the mariculture system I have
designed.
C. Major Users
The General Public, Parks & Recreation Departments, and Fish and
Game Departments have the most to gain from reclamations, however
many companies and agencies may adapt the filtration systems for
use to comply with government guidelines, restraints, and clean up
policies.
D. Geographical Markets
The master plan is eventually world wide but the target area and
home base will be California.
=C
II. Opportunity And Reasons For Expected Success
obviously the time for this project is overly ripe. The public
outcry is extremely loud and they are very tuned in to the
immediate need of such an undertaking. The governments response is
complacency but concern, that is, the present administration seems
to be more ecologically in tune than the prior administrations.
A. The competitive advantage for my company is that no one in the
world is doing this now. Duke foster the National Grant Services
Project Coordinator for the Lodi Lake Master Plan, the Lodi Parks
& Recreation Department and the California Wildlife and Fish & Game
Departments are behind me 100%; also, I have the academic
education, construction, and electrical and mechanical know how, to
bring this project together and orchestrate a competent, speedy,
and successful reclamation for a nominal cost.
B. More and more lakes are becoming dead, thousands of species are
lost every year and the public is begging for someone to do
something.
C. I believe once the equipment for completing this task is
amassed and used on the first lake, it will be a formidable force.
If one lake a month were to be reclaimed, it would almost negate
the need for another company to come in and compete. With the
initial invention of the equipment one may duplicate or franchise
and thereby create sister contingency forces to begin reclamation
in other states and/or countries.
III. Operations To Meet Business Plan Requirements
A. Site Operation
I have an option to purchase a manufacturing company on a ten acre
parcel. This company has the capacity to create, fabricate and
produce all of the tanks, machinery, and equipment needed in any
reclamation process aforementioned. Being that this companies
location is only a few miles from the first target lake, it is
large enough to park all of the eighteen wheelers, and house all of
the equipment, which makes it a perfect choice. Additively this
company is located somewhat in the middle of the state of
California which gives it a very good focal point for this
operation.
B. Actual Reclamation Process
First Example or Target Lake: Lodi Lake has come to the final
state where it is now posted indefinitely - no longer safe for
swimming, mainly due to pollutants, toxins and Escherichia Coli
(bacteria). The odors of the lake are quite foul, and the
remaining fauna and flora are extremely endangered.
-2-
r
History: Every year Lodi Lake undergoes its annual drainage due to
fears of flooding from melting snow caps in the Sierra's.
Procedure: The project at hand is to totally self contain the lake
from the Mokolumne River which feeds the lake and then restore the
environment.
Steps In Reclamation Method of Lodi Lake:
I. There are several access points connecting the river to the
lake, these are to be blocked off.
2. All storm drainages will be diverted to river.
3. All flora and fauna will be removed and placed in specially
designed holding tanks where: harmful parasites can be removed,
they may detoxified, and then contained in maximum growth and
reproduction conditions.
4. The lake will be pumped dry.
S. The sides of the lake will be cleaned by scraping and sand
blasting.
6. The bottom will be removed and may or may not be replaced with
a layer of clay, plastic or polybutylene (inner tube .rubber). A
layer of sand will be put down and all habitats placed back into
position so as to maximize floral and faunal comeback, and
reproduction.
7. Photo voltaic and/or wind driven generators will be installed
to augment city power to operate pumps and filtration units.
S. The water will be filtered back into the lake from the river.
The lake will remain on a float system thereby insuring it will be
full year round.
9. Finally, all flora and fauna will be reintroduced to the lake.
10. There is a pond at the north west end of the lake that should
be used as a breeding area for frogs, crawfish and minnows. These
organisms would be a great source of staple food supplement for the
lakes fauna.
-3-
1
Source Material And Dump Site: Ideally a plot of land should be
purchased in the foothills (Clements, Lake Comanche, Highway 88
area) just to the east of the project. The land in this area is
predominantly red clay and would be excellent for sealant of the
bottom of the lake; also the sediment removed from the lake may be
spread down approximately one foot thick after a layer of clay has
been removed from the plot site. This area is very hot and gets
maximum sunlight and aeration. Note: Sunlight is the primary
factor in photo -actively degenerating (breaking down) many of the
common pollutants. This soil may be tilled once a month until it
has become much less toxic, at that time be grade A - number one
fertilizer.
IV. Organization And Contingency Force:
A. Organization: The organizing and timing of crews is imperative
for a successful and rapid reclamation process. The ideal
situation would be to hire bonifide qualified employees to perform
all operations, however I think a majority of the work force will
resemble much that of a rag tag outfit, that is, workers comprised
of individuals from the general public who are more than happy to
help by donating their time and energy.
B. Contingency Force: The amount of donated time by individuals
will cause the employee work force to vary. Full time employees
will be greater at the inception of the project. The fabrication
of equipment and set up of the first task force will hopefully
require no more than 20 to 30 full time employees.
V. Financial Issues:
A. Estimated Funding Required:
1. Purchase of manufacturing company between $800,000 and
$1,000,000.
2. Eighteen wheelers, flat bed and compartment trailers:
purchased and/or rented as needed.
The projected quantity and type of trucks:
a) 60 Trucks and 120 flat bed trailers (or 60 doubles).
b) 20 Trucks and 40 compartment trailers (or 20 doubles).
c) 20 Sand/Gravel/Dirt Dumpster trucks
3. Heavy duty equipment, hoppers and conveyor belt systems:
purchased and/or rented as needed.
The projected quantity and type:
a) 4 D -81s, 4 Caterpillars, 2 Back -hoes and 1 Grader.
b) 6 Hoppers and conveyor belt systems.
4. Materials for constructing tanks, filtration systems, towers,
diversion lines and equipment.
-4-
(- l
B. Probable Sources Of Fynds:
I am looking forward to much of the needed capital, equipment and
materials being gifted to CE as a result of a telethon. I am also
hopeful that some individuals and companies may offer the use of
their equipment and trucks as gifts_ All other capital must be
raised either by local, state or federal funding or grants; and/or
offering of stocks.
C. Why Attractive To Investors:
1. This company may after the first successful reclamation hire
itself out to a city, state or country.
2. The subsidiary COPE Enterprise will be producing seafood
products which will bring in a profit.
3. Any subsidiary aquaculture system will also bring revenues.
D. Estimated Rates Of Returns And Schedule:
Since no one has ever formed a reclamation company like this, it is
essentially impossible to ascertain what the profit margin will be
like.
E. Planned Allocation Of Kajor Resources:
As mentioned earlier much of the contingency work force, capital,
equipment and materials will hopefully be gifted as the result of
one or more telethons.
VI. COPE Enterprise:
The copyright and patent abstract, summary, illustrations, glossary
and bibliography for COPE Enterprise have been completed. These
items as well as the manuscript will be included in the next phase
of this executive summarized business plan.

Dr. Dave Roberts and I have discussed your situation in depth over the past few days. We
think we can help. I think that in our meeting last week with the students, th._y (the students)
were quite overwhelmed with the magnitude of what you were proposing to do. From our
point of view, this is understandable. They have a heavy courseload and are very skeptical
about taking on additional projects which would require an unspecified amount of time with no
well-defined endpoint.
For this reason, we would propose the following approach. We have met with the students
and they agreed. Since this appears to be a long-term situation, we suggest a phased approach
which could be accomplished over the next year.
PH I- Project Definition. This phase would define in detail the legal anti administrative
hurdles which must be dealt with to get the project underway. Since you have identified the
lake at Lodi to be the test case, the concentration would be on all the impediments, legal and
otherwise, to accomplish the task you have in mind. In the broader sense, oilier locals in
greater California would also be considered. We have Water Management Districts, local
councils, Coastal Commissions, county supervisors, etc., to deal with. These: would be
spelled out here. The approximate time to complete this phase is about 3 months. We are
assuming the engineering and technical aspects for implementing the project are workable.
PHASE 11- Project Costs and Feasibility. We would be concentrating on the Lodi project.
This would involve the costs associated with completion of the purification of the lake and
operational costs required thereafter to maintain the desired level of ecocare. Of course,
implementing the Lodi project would involve a level of investment which would be, in part,
transferable to other projects throughout the state. This would be defined during this phase.
This phase would provide a clue as to the amount of fundraising which would be required for
initial investment in order to complete the Lodi project. The investment in raced assets would,
in part, presumably be usable on other projects in other localities in California. Some of the
questions to be answered during this phase are:
1. Who will pay for the cleanup'?
2 How much is the expected recurring operations cost after the cleanup, and who will
pay for these?
3 Are the cities, counties, etc., willing to pay these costs?
4. Other sources of funds.

OCT -08-1993 13:35 FROM MI IS TO 96255110 P.02
This phase will require an additional 3 to 5 months to complete. The overriding assumption
here is that the engineering and technical aspects of the project are workable.
PHASE III- Project Implementation. This phase will require 3-6 months ro complete. The
phase will encompass the scope of work involved in the Lodi project on a step-by-step basis.
The research and analysis accomplished during PHASE U will be important in identifying the
costs associated with each step of this phase. Careful attention will have to be paid to
accomplishing the technical aspects involved in the project. The applications here are
expected to be applicable to other projects statewide.
At this point, we believe that this is the best approach. We look forward to your response.

his brochure briefly outlines the accomplishments of the Monterey Institute as we prepare
our students to enter the 21st century its purpose is to increase your understanding of the unique
nature of our programs and to provide an overview of an institution that is a genuine innovator in
international education.
American colleges and universities have been slow to meet the challenges of the new internation-
al business and political arenas. Only very recently has the educational establishment recognized the
handicap that this deficiency places on its graduates. Applied professional education in tite United
States is just beginning to make the necessary structural changes in the way it designs and delivers its
product, a task that probably will require most institutions a generation to accomplish. There is an
exception: the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
For almost forty years, the Monterey Institute has been engaged in preparing international pro-
fessionals who can deal effectively with the problems posed by a turbulent international environment.
This calls for bilingual, bicultural skills, in addition to required substantive knowledge. Our graduates
have made a difference as managers, public officials, researchers, teachers, and translators and
interpreters, and they have given the Monterey Institute the reputation as the graduate school
for international careers.
Because of the importance of international affairs to all our Ilves, I request your support as we
muster the resources required to fulfill our mission, which describes the Monterey Institute as an
academic community committed to preparing innovative professionals able to provide leadership in
crosscuttural, multilingual environments. I hope that you will find the Institute a worthy investment.

at other universities Cours",vork inciudes a wide variety of contemporary
topics in eight languages, and the Institute campus is an international labora-
tory, where these languages and others are used informally on a daily basis.
Recently, other professional graduate programs in the United States have
begun to respond to the demand for international preparation by adding lan-
guage and area studies to the usual professional coursework, H:)wever, the
emphasis given to intwriat!cnal concerns in all Institute programs continues
to set the Institute apart. By minimizing the difference between first and sec-
ond language usage, students and faculty find themselves in an internationat
environment where the use of a second language and the study of area
materials are integrated rather than parallel activities.
All of the Monterey Institute's 62 full-time resident faculty members possess
international expertise and experience, and almost all 700 students have
lived, worked or studied abroad. This shared experience in working outside
ones own culture provides the background for concentration on the practi-
cal problems that abound in an international system that is increasingly
interdependent.
Those problems are ad iressed hath m and outside the classroom and also m

Global arms control and nonproliferation negotiations are simulated in a
class that uses both Russian and English under the supervision of Professor
William Potter. The reality of the simulation is assured by the participation of
Ambassador Roland Timerbaev, who was one of the Soviet Union's top arms
control negotiators. He played a significant role in the ratification of the
Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in 1368, and was the Soviet Union's
Permanent Representative to the international Atomic Energy Agency.
Interpretation students regularly interpret plenary sessions of multilingual
policy courses on the European Community. The plenary sessions are fol-
lowed by breakout sections in which students conduct discussions in their
secondlanguages.
Students from all professional programs have been involved in the
institute's sponsored research on topics that include nuclear and missile pro-
liferation, the development of the Siberian economy, labor relations of
Japanese multinationals operating in the United States, international peace-
keeping, and environmental concerns in the former Soviet Union.
As the national debate intensifies over how to develop the human resources
required for American participation in the new international environment, the
Monterey Institute increasingly is cited as a model. The utility of its interna-
tional career programs, which emphasize applications to the reai world of
trade, diplomacy, security, and education, has been proved in a broad range
of contexts. This has given the Monterey Institute a worldwide reputation for
expertise in delivering innovative international programs in a multilingual
environment — programs that produce individuals with the linguistic, man-
agerial and interpersonal skills needed for effective operation across cul-
tures in the United States and abroad

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LODI PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOGNIZED BY NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
(CBM - Citizen Board Members Committee
Lodi, California - October 27, 1993
Saturday, October 23. 1993, in San Jose at the National Recreation and Parks Association Conference.
the Lodi Parks and Recreation Commission received the National Outstanding Commission/Board Award
for service, commitment and dedication to our community.
Mr. Robert Casalegno, vice-chairman of the local commission and Ron Williamson, Parks and Recreation
Director, represented Lodi at the conference luncheon where community and individual national awards
were presented (see attached luncheon program for more information). The luncheon was attended by
some 200 commissioners and professionals.
As such, the "Community Commission Excellence Award' was #1 on the list of recognitions presented
that day. Lodi was the only community award, the others %were individual professional or volunteer
recognitions.
Much of the criteria for selection was based on a number of item3: Program - A wide variety and mixed
offering by the communities' parks and recreation departments, influenced by the commission. 1 ney took
into account adult sports, youth sports, specialty classes, childcare programs, aquatics, special events,
and parks programs_ Projects - Capital projects in the area of develo ,mant over the past five years, they
saw Lodi very high in grant projects, both Federal (HUD) and State (tor _; programs. They gave the
commission/departmerd a very high rating in community service club/organization giving, donations,
involvement, and volunteer services. They also saw an internal supported list of general projects done
by internal staff to upgrade the parks system. (We can support the projects with lists, if so desired.)
Commitment - In addition to all this, community commitment and involvement were very important. They
saw a commission responding to its constituents, department and city council. Committee work was
important, Mokelumne River Task Force, Parks. Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, and many
commission assigned committees of special interest. Dedication -With this comes the dedication of its
board members - many commissioners serving two or more four-year terms.
