A staff meeting was held at the UPA office to evaluate damaged areas, and discuss how the repairs would be handled. The UPA men would be assigned to new emergency repair duties. UPA was also fortunate to get two individuals from Tuolumne Irrigation District, who volunteered their time to help develop a plan of repair.

Because UPA did not have an accounting system in place to support the accounting needs of these emergency crews, the CCWD was paid to act as a Temp Agency to hire temporary CDF crews and handle payroll. Once this labor force method was agreed upon, the crews were contacted and then sent to CCDWD to sign up for the project.
