Tracking a Quarter Century of Fraud and Embezzlement that Continue to this Day.
The following series of emails will contain a summary Audit of Beaumont’s Sewer Plant. The Requisitions released by the City of Beaumont can be viewed on beaumontgate; http://beaumontgate.org/beaumont-sewer-requisitions/
In the early 1990’s the population of Beaumont was 10,000. The City was attempting to bring in a 2,212 unit Housing Development with Commercial and Light Industrial, but the City had no Water or Sewer to accommodate the Development. The City’s only natural water resource is 42% of the water supply in the Beaumont Basin.
The first hired in Beaumont was the Law Firm of Aklufi Wysocki and Finance Director William Aylward. The City then hired ‘Trans-Pacific Consultants’, which employed Dave Dillon, Ernest Egger, and Dennis Janda.
In 1929 the City of Beaumont built their Sewer Plant and installed clay pipes in part of the original town. By 1993 the State Water Quality Control Board was demanding the City close down the old Plant and build a NEW PLANT because the Plant was at the end of its useful life and had repeated water quality violations.
California Government Code 66473.7. (a) requires a 20-year water supply before the Purveyor can issue a ‘Will-Serve’ Letter. In 1993 the City of Beaumont and the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District signed an Illegal Agreement that the Water District would Issue ‘Unlimited Will-Serve Letters’ in exchange for Recycled Water to supplement the additional water use.
By the time the 1993 Sewer Bond was written in August, 1993, Urban Logic Consultants was listed on the Bond as ‘Project Manager’ and Trans-Pacific Consultants was listed as ‘Civil Engineer’. Alan Kapanicas was listed as ‘Interim Director of Administrative Services’, but GGMS was not listed on the Bond. Deepak Moorjani ,ULC, signed every Requisition since 1993 as Beaumont’s Public Works Manager.
The $8,500,000 Bond was acquired in 1993 to: “construct new waste water treatment facilities” and to “comply with new water quality standards”.
The City was to build 1.0 MGD new capacity for the existing sewer users and an additional .4 MGD capacity for the planned 2,212 houses in CFD 93-1.
Every Executive Officer in the City of Beaumont was profiting from the Bonds and Construction:
William Aylward: Finance Director, Principal of MOKRAY (Moody Construction), William Aylward, CPA.
Law Firm of Aklufi Wysocki: Dave Wysocki: Yucaipa Valley Water District Counsel; Joe Aklufi: Beaumont City Attorney, STWMA Counsel, Watermaster Counsel.
James Gregg: Risk Manager, Principal of General Government Management Services (GGMS).
Alan Kapanicas: City Manager, Principal of GGMS
Ernest Egger: Planning Director, Principal of Urban Logic Consultants (ULC).
Dave Dillon: Economic Development Director, Principal of Urban Logic Consultants (ULC).
Deepak Moorjani: Public Works Director, Principal of Urban Logic Consultants (ULC).
Jim Love: Planning Commissioner, Building Inspector, Principal of Beaumont Electric.
Dennis Janda: City Surveyor, ULC Employee, now paid directly by City.
Rebecca Deming: Former ULC Employee, became Planning Director when Egger went into hiding.
Kyle Warsinski: Former ULC Employee, became Economic Development and Public Works Director when Dillon and Moorjani went into hiding.
Utility Partners: Originally Urban Logic Consultants, then Urban Logic Services, then Aquarion.
Gerard Thibeault: Former Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Officer, Father-in-Law of Timothy Wildermuth.
Kurt Berchtold: Current Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Officer.
Hisam Baqai: Former Supervising Engineer for the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board during Erin Brockovich Water Contamination scandal, former ULC Employee, then hidden in Willdan Engineering.
Stephen Boughton: Former Union Bank Trust Department VP, oversaw the acquisition of $2 Billon Municipal Bonds without Voter Approval.
In an email dated December 2, 2009, Kapanicas stated: “In 1989 another ‘contractor consultant firm’ spent 100% of the $3.5M sewer project money to design and determine that the City would need another $12M to actually build the plant. The City, with ULC’s help, designed and built a better sewer plant in 1995 for $6M total.”
Beaumont did not close down the original sewer plant and build 1.4 MGD of new Capacity. The City simply added .4 MGD Capacity to the old Capacity, which is the reason the City has continued to have problems with the Plant. The City has been fined multiple times for SCAQMD and EPA Violations because they are still using the original 1929 Sewer Plant.
01/30/2017: Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Officer Kurt Berchtold sent Libi Uremovic b.s. Letter. “..the City’s Facility produces tertiary equivalent of treated water and disinfected recycled water which is consistent with Title 22 requirements.”
“tertiary equivalent of treated water”
STWMA Project Committee One (PC 1) Work Product for Fiscal Year July 1, 2005 thru June 30, 2006
Task Group A: Groundwater Development in the Beaumont South Basin. “…to determine the feasibility of pumping groundwater from the Beaumont South Basin in the vicinity of Cooper’s Creek (Bingham Property groundwater) and downstream from the Beaumont Recycled Water Plant.”
The City of Beaumont embezzled all the money. There is no Machinery and/or Equipment to produce “tertiary equivalent of treated water and disinfected recycled water which is consistent with Title 22 requirements.”
The City is either falsifying the water quality test results or the City is producing “tertiary equivalent of treated water” by diluting wastewater with potable water stolen from the Bingham Property and other Overlyers in the South Beaumont Basin with the State Water Quality Control Board’s knowledge and consent.
I demand a Cease and Desist Order on the City of Beaumont Sewer Plant until it is confirmed exactly how the City is able to produce “tertiary equivalent of treated water”.

04/27/1993: RWQCB Director Thibeault issued followup letter to City regarding Submittal of time Schedule for sewage Treatment Plant Upgrades. “We wish to reiterate that the City’s waste discharge requirements call for all discharges to surface waters or surface water courses to be treated to a tertiary level, and meet specified limitations for total inorganic nitrogen and ammonia. The City has not complied with these requirements and has no apparent means to do so in the foreseeable future.”

BWRA was designed to treat 1.5 million gallons per day (“Mgd”) of wastewater to a “tertiary” level and is currently being expanded to treat 2.0 Mgd of effluent per day. The expansion is expected to be completed by September, 2002. The tertiary treated wastewater generated by the facility complies with all Title 22 and State Regional Water Quality Control Board discharge requirements. On May 19, 2000, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a new permit for treatment up to 2.0 Mgd of effluent per day.”
