Presidents Message
The word steel brings to mind words like strength. Stability. Solidness. For civil engineers, steel gives form to our creations whether they are buildings, bridges, dams and ot her s tr uc tur e s . Sometimes steel creates a facade of beauty and strength while other times steel is embedded deep within, providing the inner framework that gives our creations purpose and function. But steel does not exist naturally. It must be made. Steel, an alloy consisting mainly of iron and carbon, requires intense heat, energy and raw materials to create a substance that we rely on

Region 9
This Month in Sacramento - ASCE Region 9 By Richard Markuson, Pacific Advocacy Group
Governor Jerry Brown has disposed of the bills passed by the Legislature; signing the vast majority of them. Despite some of his early statements about the relative merit of the bills being sent to him he is signing the vast majority of measures over 90% so far. Vetoed Brown vetoed AB 1210 (Garrick) that would have exempted Civil Engineers from the requirements imposed by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for certification as a QSD or QSP. Region 9 joined the supporters of the bill to argue that the qualifications to practice engineering should be established by the Engineers Board and that the SWRCB and other regulatory bodies should not set standards and enforce additional requirements on what are fundamentals of the practice of Civil Engineering. In his veto message Brown explained; I am returning Assembly Bill 1210 without my signature. This bill would exempt licensed civil engineers from training requirements related to the preparation of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans. Many of these storm plans are found to be deficient and those preparing them need a much better understanding of the necessary elements of a solid plan. It is not feasible to inspect every plan or every construction site but it is essential to have some process in place to ensure compliance in preparing complete and sound storm water plans. The current process depends on a training education program for all professionals who prepare storm plans -- engineers, geologists, hydrologists, and landscape architects. This bill, a piecemeal approach, exempts only one profession, the civil engineers. A more comprehensive solution would be better. I am directing the State Water Board to review the entire program and evaluate compliance alternatives that are more efficient and workable for all professionals. From the wording of the message it would appear the SWRCB had a role in the veto. Suffering the same fate was AB 275 (Solorio) that would allow the installation of rainwater capture systems (RCS) to store rainwater that has not yet collected urban pollutants for non-potable purposes. Brown noted I am returning Assembly Bill 275 without my signature. This measure seeks to adopt an interim standard for rainwater capture outside the established Building Standards Commission process. Without some urgency or a more compelling reason, I think it is better to stick with the process and follow existing California law. This veto was slightly more convoluted. At the behest of the plumbers union, AB 275 became a tug-of-war between two competing code development organizations International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) and the International Code Council (ICC). AB 275 would have required that the work on RCS comply with the requirements contained in the 2010 Green Plumbing and Mechanical Code Supplement (GPMCS), published by IAPMO unless the California Building Standards Commission (BSC) adopts superseding building standards. ICC objected to this and with the plumbers union persuaded Brown to veto the bill. Brown also vetoed Region 9 supported SB 263 (Pavley) that would have requir

ASCE Region 9 Update Jennifer Epp, P.E., M.ASCE, ASCE Region 9 Director
With the start of the new (fiscal) year, Id like to update you on ASCE Region 9 (California) activities. Id like to extend a warm welcome and thanks to all the new ASCE Section and Branch officers. Im very excited to begin my term as ASCE Region 9 Director and look forward to working with and meeting many of you over the next three years. Jay Higgins has joined the ASCE Region 9 Board this year. Jay is our Governor representing the Los Angeles Section. Jay brings many years of ASCE service to the Region 9 Board including terms as president of the Los Angeles Section and the Metropolitan Los Angeles Branch. Those of you that know Jay know he will be an excellent addition to the Board. Jay will be our Region 9 Treasurer. Kathy Haynes (Region 9 Governor from the San Diego Section), Rich Haller (AtLarge Governor), Fareed Pittalwala (Governor from the Sacramento Section), Camilla Saviz (At-Large Governor), and Brent Siemer (Governor from the San Francisco Section) comprise the remaining Board members. Kathy Haynes will Chair our annual Region 9 Awards Dinner again this year.

Chuck Spinks will Chair our Infrastructure Symposium that will also be held in Sacramento on February 28th. Save the date to participate in this informative annual event where we plan to have another top-notch line up of speakers on Water and Transportation issues in the State. Camilla Saviz and Tony Akel will be Chairing our Committee on Communications with Sections and Branches. They plan to have more calls this year where Section and Branch leaders throughout Region 9 can share best practices with each other and we can share information between the Region and the Sections and Branches. Shahn Ahmad will be Chairing our Government Affairs committee. Our legislative Fly-In event to Sacramento will be held in February. Mark Norton and Ken Rosenfield, will continue as Chairs of our Water and Transportation Committees. They will be assisted by our legislative consultant Richard Markuson. These committees will continue to play a crucial role in impacting state legislative issues related to Civil Engineering. The Region is also working on updating the statewide Report Card and will continue to be involved with the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists to help position us to positively impact licensing issues. A challenge the Region is facing this year is to determine how to balance our budget while continuing to provide the best service we can to our members, Sections and Branches. The Region has intentionally been operating in a deficit spending mode recently to spend down our financial reserves but will need to achieve a balanced budget in the near future. I believe ASCE Region 9 is uniquely prepared and positioned to provide increasing value to the ASCE members in California. Im extremely proud of what the Region has accomplished during our first 6 years of existence and believe we have built a solid foundation that can be leveraged to expand the Regions value to our membership. The Region will continue to advance Civil Engineering issues in the state, strengthen the link between our Sections and Branches, as well as the link from the local level to the Society. If you have any questions or would like to get involved with any Region 9 activities, you can contact me at jennifer.b.epp@gmail.com or 530-867-2663.

with confidence every day. On their own, the elements of steel are brittle and susceptible to change from simple external forces. Combined together, the materials are stronger. People in India are credited with being the first to use high carbon steel regularly, starting around 300 B.C. Using a wind furnace, fueled by the monsoonal winds common to the area, men forged high carbon steel that could keep a sharp edge. Over the centuries, the production methods improved and the practice of making steel spread throughout Asia, Europe and Africa. Modern steel making emerged in the 19th century with the introduction of Henry Bessemers process in 1858 that created large quantities inexpensively. Modifications to the Bessemer process quickly improved steel making so that by 1900 individuals such as Andrew Carnegie began mass producing steel in ways that revolutionized our world. With the readily abundant steel society built railroads, power plants, powerlines, skyscrapers, subways, bridges, reinforced concrete, ocean freighters, cranes, bulldozers, tractors and thousands of other items we use regularly. Steel has made our society stronger. At our December general member meeting we will hear about how steel will provide the strength for our airport expansion. Used within the concrete or as beams for supports of structures and as aesthetic components of the project, steel is an integral part of the expansion. Once a year, every December, we have a joint meeting with members of the Structural Engineers Association of San Diego. They will join us at our meeting this month to share in this interesting and informative topic. Together, as engineers, we are stronger. Another annual event allows engineering colleges to compete in a variety of contests, one of which is a steel bridge competition, where a team of students erect a bridge within minutes, a bridge they have spent several months designing, fabricating and testing. At our December meeting, we will meet the steel bridge teams from both UCSD and SDSU. The teams will assemble their structures used in last years challenge. We will have the opportunity to talk with them, and find out how we can help contribute to their success in this years competition. We will see how the students collaborate, support each other, and function as a team to win. Together, with our participation, the students are stronger. Finally, during December we all find ourselves affected by the events of the season. Each one of us finds different ways to support each other, to find strength in lifes challenges, and to savor the moments that bring us comfort and peace. Despite our differences, when we join together we complement each other, forging a solid bond, much like when the elements of steel combine to form a better result. Whatever your beliefs, I hope you have a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season! Together we make the world stronger.
