BOX 8127 10844 ELLIS AVENUE FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CALIFORNIA 92708 (714) 540-2910 (714) 962-2411 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO RECOMMEND FINANCING TO IMPLEMENT THE DISTRICT NO. 3 CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM At the direction of the Board, the Committee has met with the staff and financial consultant and reviewed the recommendations contained in the Report on Financing Major Sewerage Improvements. The basic data and information developed and presented in the report was studied. Particular scrutiny has been given the proposed connection fees for commercial and industrial developments, and the recommendations for a general obligation bond issue. Considerable input was obtained from the Committee members, Director Vanderwaal, staff, and the financial consultant. Mr. Bodnar of Stone and Youngberg has submitted a supplement to his report, which is attached herewith. The Committee concurs with the recommendationscontained in Mr. Bodnar's supplemental report, summarized as follows: Establish the following recommended connection fees as soon as practicable: Residential Units $250 Commercial & Industrial $50/1000 sq. ft. with $250 minimum Commercial and industrial establishments having a high volume of water discharges will continue to be subject to excess capacity connection charges as provided in the existi~g Uniform Industrial Use Ordinance. Defer decision re amount of bond issue and timing of election for up to nine months. Current cash flow projections indicate that determination of a general obligatiqn bond issue can be deferred up to the beginning of 1974, pending a·decision by EPA regarding-the definition of secondary treatment. It should be pointed out that although adoption of the above- recommended-connection charges is a step toward meeting the requirements of the new Federal Water Pollution Control Act with respect to user charges, increas~in the schedule of use charges contained in the existing Uniform Industrial Use Ordinance will, in all likelihood, have to be adopted to ensure that the user charges, particularly with respect to the industrial community, conform to this provision of the Act. The Environmental Protection Agency has published regulations which provide, in part, that: "Prior to award of any grant after March 1, 1973, for a project which includes the building and erection of a treatment works, the applicant (a) has adopted or will adopt a system of char!·ges to assure that each recipient of waste treatment service will pay its proportionate share of the. costs of operation and maintenance (including replacement);. (b) has received firm written commitments satisfacto~y to the Regional Administrator for the payment to such applicant by the industrial users for their proportionate share of the Federal share of capital costs of the project allocable to the treatment of such industrial wastes to the extent attributable to the Federal share of the cost construction." The EPA is presently drafting guidelines which will set forth the manner and method for compliance with these provisions. The Committee directed the staff to redraft the proposed Sewer Connection Ordinance, incorporating the above-suggested fees and other recommendations of the Committee. In the case of additions to, or alterations of, structures other than residential dwellings that fall within the minimum square footage charge of $250, the Committee suggests a credit be allowed equal to the unused area, up to a period of five years, emanating from the initial connection permit. For property currently developed, but not discharging to the sewer, the Committee also recommends that connection fees be waived for a period of one year. A schedule comparing the proposed charges with those of the other Districts is included herewith. • Robert Root, Chairman Donald L. Fox Jack Green George B. Scott Charles Stevens, Jr . ..

The report, rel~a3ed Thursday, contradicts many of the a3sumptions that have resulted in tight federal and state regulations on ocean dis- charges. These regulations, it said, apply to inland or freshwater dispoEal, rather than on what actually happens in the ocean, and are technically un- sound. Beyond recommending step.; to cut dom1 on the dL.:charge of toxic and floatable material~. the report said that "no sub:otantial modifica- tion of existing wastewater disposal practices ... is justified at present." This conclu . .;;ion rnns cnnt1·ary to positions held ·by a variety of government agencies, as well a.~ cn- viromnental group:; and parts of the scientific community, and is -expect- ed to rcin\"igorate the debate over ocean discharge:-:. Kor is the debate academic since sewer agencies estimate that it will cost the taxpayers $600 million by the end of the decade if the agencie.;; have to upgrade their treatment plants to meet government stand- ards. 'fhe study, which took three yeari to complete mid fill~ 531 pC1ges, .was conducted by the Southern Califor- nia Coastal \Vater Hesearch l'l'ojctt (SCCWHP), a unit organized by fin~ government age n c i cs: Ventura.

Control of th~ Sl.l million projcd was delcgatrcl to a commi,;,.;ion of lo- ral civic leaders and <:lccted olfi- dal,:;. The study, conducted by a teclmi- cal staff with the assis- tance of con·.-mltants and government experts, cov- ered a :::on-mile stretch of coast from Point Concep- tion to Caho Colnett in Baja California, known as the Southern C1lifornia Bight. r:Clch day se\·en nrnjor outfall.::-along the hight • pour out almo:0t a billio:l !!alien..; of \\'a'-'te into the ocEan and little is known cibout the effects of this waste on marine life. The SCCWnP studv said that its review of available information, plus data ol;>- tainetl from field and la- borator~', prodded "an im- proved scientific pet'.~pcc tiv'! of the effect-> of ocean wastewater di.::-charges" a:id shot down "manv myths Jbout the ocean anJ man'::; effect on it." One area of the studv thaL confirmed pre\'ioti:> data, ho\':e\·et'. was the section on DDT and PCB, a chemically rel:itcd sub- stance u::ed widely in in- dustry. Both long-lasti:1g d1Pmkals are known to · build up in fat ti~sues and to affect the environment. Strict Controls Urged T1'.e SC\YHRP report urged stric:t controls and indicatHl that the sub- stances are still being dis- charged in large quanti- tie::: along the coa.~t. Duril~ l~J71, the ~tudv saicJ t ltat more th•m i'n ton:=; of DD'l' anrl 10 tons of PCD were cli.:<"hargt•d by municipal w<istcwatcr rli.::<'ln1"rr>r· ·1·11~ .. ~;-;~;atcrials \\'ct·~ found to lJc l'Oncentratc1l in the ::l'«lim('nts al'ottnd the outfall" and were pick- ed up hy fi:-h. :\bout GO';, of the sam- ~les of muscle tissue from diments and that gill de- fo1·m~ties in surf perch and. grunion are more frequent off ::iouthern California. Disease Link Ho\vever, the study con- cluded that few of these ecological effects were clearly due to \vastewatet• and that the levels of me- tals found in the fish did not appear to be related to db: ease. Surprisingly, the .:otudy found that metab. ;-;uch as sih·e1', chromium ·and cop- per, were iower in fish near. the ouHall.;;; than in fish living on normal se- diment5 far from the dis-charg~. j It said there \vas no I e•:idcnce f o r increased control of trace metals, a prime target of state and federal regulations, but ac- k now ledge d that im- proved control of toxic 1 metals is a "prudent and I meaningr"ul step." 1• It also said there was no evidence f o r changing treatment to remo,·e nu- trients, such as nitrates, but said they \vould ac- tually have a "mildly stim- ulating" eff cot on marine life. Particulate matter, which ·federal law says m u s t be drastically re- d uced, only affects the "immediate vicinity" of the outfalls, according to SC\VHHP. an area that a project scientist estimated to be about the size of Los Angeles International Air- port. Fewer Kelp Ho,1.:ever, the studv .:;aid that su~pendccl pai·ticles in wastewater may be af- fecting wate1· transparency m·c1· a witlcr area and may lie partially responsible fo1· the re<luctic:n of kelp off Southern California. It recommended further study before any major chan;.re::; are made fa the treatment of particulate matter. It clitl call ho,vev- er, for d1anges ' in the treatment of floatable material. "The vbihk .oli<:k or oily- watc1· .'ltl'face abo,·e the subf!1erged outfall is aes- thetically di.:;plea~ing," the report :-aid. "The materi- als can be ca1·riecl into em- bayments. marinas, the surf zone and onto beaches." These materials, it .said "bear ·:-ewage bacteria .to the surface, where they can be readily transported onto beache:-; 01· shellfish beds." They also probably contain DDT anc! other fat-::0oluble chemicals that can enter the food chain, according to the report. Part o{ Law SC\VH.RP omcials said Thur . .::day that they hoped the repo1t would influence the federal Environm~ntal J>rotection .r\ g e n c y and state \\'a tc r I'.esources Control Board to review t h e i r new a n d t o u g h c r i t e r i a on ocean dis- charges. One Jederal official said, l1owever, that a change in the criterk, which will force Southern California dischargers to build co2tly secondary treatment facil- ities, will probably require a change in Jaw, sin~e the Jeyel of treatment is writ- ten into the Clean Water Act of 1970. There is a possibility that one of the dischargers will challenge the criteria ~mu the constitutionality of the l:iw, usin~ the SC\\"!!riP data to indicate that the kd-:ral law L ar- bitrary and un.;:;upported by .scientific evidence. But to further ccmpli- • CJ•te the .picture, inclepcn- dcnl r~scart·h on the po.:;.:;i- ble toxic effect~ of ~.;ewage is bein;; carried out in oth- er laboratories in Califor- nia and more data may rnon be genc1·:.itcd to con- tradict SC\VHH.P or to fill ~aps in that study, such as the effects of sewage on eggs and Jan·ae. ------- SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COA.STAL WATER RESEARCH PROJECT A iocul ~overnment ngenr.y for marine ecologir.ol researr.h Commission Project Mcinager Cunsulting bo<1rd Elf nT oor,•o. p,,.\1:11mt LIND~Ll YI' ARSONS.

As you well know, the Consulting Board has guided the Project and its staff since its inception. The program has now culminated in a creditable report on the characteristics and quality of the waters, creatures, and sediments of a major portion of the Southern California Bight. We believe that the extensive list of specific findings of the Project and the very relevant and timely conclusions and rt:coi1ui11.~ndatio11s go .far to document existing conditior1.:, anci to point botl1 the dircctirns for needed ~mprovcmcnts and the studies necessary for further understanding and improvement of our local marine environment. The Consulting Board is most pleased to inform you that the Board unanimously agrees with and endorses the findings, summary and conclusions as enunciated by the Project staff. We wish to emphasize the practical and relevant nature of several of the report's conclusions concerning present·wastewater management practice: 1. The Board concurs that there is no evidence to document that present wastewater disposal practices have had any sub- ~tantial adverse or irreversible effects on the general ecological characteristics or environmental quality of the Bight. 2. On balance, marine wastewater management practices in the study region have been generally competent and responsive to new findings and dcivclopmcnts. ..i I .I 3. Implementation of the recommended changes for marine wastewater discharge (particularly improved control of persistent pesticides, other persistent organics, toxic metals,.and floatables) and continuation of research into man's general marine effects are essential for the continued preservation and enhancement of the quality of Southern California's marine environment. 4. The perspective attained by the study on the broad area of man's effects on the Southern California Bight is of major importance, along with the specific findings, for the guidance of future marine related activities. 5. Present disposal regulations designed largely for freshwater and estuarine environments have limited specific applicability to Southern California discharge practice. The Consulting Board wishes to express their great pleasure in serving the Coramission in the unique capacity as scientific and technical consultants to this most interesting and important project. We hope that the findings, conclusions and recommendations will prove to be of substantial benefit to the Conunission, its members' agencies and to the general public. Should you have any questions related to the statement presented in this Report, please do not hesitate to call on the members and chairman of the Consulting Board. John D.

Box 812 7 Fountain Valley, California 92 708 Gentlemen: Per your directions, we have reviewed our report of March 9, i9 73 with the staff as it relates to: (1) suggested connection charges for industrial and com- mercial users, and (2) the suggested principal amount of the proposed bond authorization. From our meeting of March 21 with the Committee, it is our understanding that: (1) The basic rationale for the setting of connection fees on the basis of District costs to provide a unit of trunk sewer and sewage treat- ment-disposal capacity is agreeable to members of the Committee. These unit costs are $65 per 100 gallons of trunk sewer and sewage treatment-disposal capacity. (2) The criteria relative to projected sewage flows from various types of land use employed by the consul ting engineers in designing the trunk sewer system have been approved by the District with its adoption of the master plan trunk sewer program. These projected flows are l, 550 gpd per acre in low density (1-6 units per acre) residential uses; an average of 4, 850 gpd per acre in medium-high density (7 or more units per acre) residential uses; and 3, 555 gpd per acre in industrial-commercial uses. (3) The suggested connection fee of $250 per residential unit appears to be reasonable and is agreeable to the Committee. (4) The suggested connection fee of $250 per 5, 000 square feet of com- mercial and industrial facility needs further study. It is felt that a connection fee for industrial and commercial uses at this level may have an adverse effect upon future development within the Dis- trict. Secondly, the Committee desires further information as to coordination of an industrial-commercial connection charge with the Districts' Uniform Connection and Use Ordinance. . . 989. 2300 SUITE 2750 •ONE CALIFORNIA STREET• SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 94111 • (415)~ Orange County Sanitation District No. 3 Connection Fee and Bond Issue Study Committee April 3, 19 73 Page 2 (5) The suggested principal amount of the bond is sue requirement be recon- sidered in view of the uncertainty regarding the extent to which secondary treatment, equivalent to activated sludge, may be required for the Districts 1 flows; the amount of connection fee revenue that may be realized by District No. 3 and the extent to which this amount of revenue will relieve the District No. 3 projected cash flow defects; and sewage treatment-disposal improvement implementation schedule. This report treats points 4 and 5 listed above. The findings, conclusions, and recommendations outlined below are presented as a result of a meeting held on March 28 with the staff. . . EXISTING UNIFORM CONNECTION AND USE ORDINANCE In April 19 70, the Joint Organization adopted a Uniform Connection and Use Ordinance which requires dischargers, who place an excessive demand on the Districts 1 sewerage facilities, to purchase additional capacity. Pertinent sections of this Ordinance include the following: Article 6, Paragraph 6: Prior to commencement of use and upon invoicing by the District, an excess capacity connection charge shall be payable by a user when, during the 12-month period after commencement of use, the peak flow rate may be reasonably expected to exceed 25,000 gallons per day unless such peak flow rate is a reasonable use as defined in Article 2 of this ordinance. Article 2, Paragra~ For the purpose of computing excess ca- pacity connection charges, reasonable use is hereby established at 25,000 gallons per day peak flow rate per $100,000 of assessed valuation. Article 6, Paragraph b: Subject to the provisions hereinabove, excess capacity connection charges payable shall be computed at the rate of $350 per 1, 000 gallons per day of peak flow rate. Orange County Sanitation District No. 3 Connection Fee and Bond Is sue Study Committee ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES OF UNIFORM CONNECTION AND USE ORDINANCE April 3, 19 73 Page 3 Two case ~xamples have been prepared by Robert A. Webber, Chie~, Industrial and Permit Division, to illustrate the application of the Excess Capacity Con- nection Charge Ordinance. Company A is a government-owned facility which is~ not subject to ad valorem taxation. Company A was invoiced in June 1972 for $9, 240. Company B is an existing carpet manufacturer that is contemplating an expansion of its operations to include carpet dyeing which would place a very substantial demand ·on the sewerage facilities. Company Assessed Value Allowable Discharge Rate of Flow Actual Discharge Rate of Flow A $0.00 0 gallons/day 26, 400 gallons/day Computation of Excess Capacity Connection Charge Actual Discharge Allowable Discharge 26,400 gallons/day 0 gallons/day 26, 400 gallons/day x $350/1, 000 gallons = $9,240.00 B $450,000.00 113, 000 gallons/day 500, 000 gallons/day Computation of Excess Capacity Connection Charge Actual Discharge Allowable Dis charge 500, 000 gallons/day 113, 000 gallons/day 387, 000 gallons/day x $350/1, 000 gallons = $135,450.00 EVALUATION OF EXISTING PRACTICE 1. Under the existing Uniform Connection and Use Ordinance, reasonable use is established at 25,000 gallons per da_Y peak flow rate per $100,000 of assessed valuation. Orange County Sanitation District No. 3 Connection Fee and Bond Issue Study Committee April 3, 1973 Page 4 2. Our report of March 9 indicated on page 32 that it is reasonable to as- sume that a typical dwelling unit in low density residential areas (1-6 units per acre) contributes approximately 383 gallons per day to the District's sewerage system. The estimated assessed valuation of typical owner occupied housing units within the District is assumed to be approximately $7, 000. 3. From the above, the following relationships can be identified with respect to Companies A and B cited in the previous section of this report. e Company A Company B a. Actual Discharge 26,400 gpd 500,000 gpd b. Excess Capacity Charge $ 9,240 $135,45·0 c. District Cost of Providing Sewerage Facilities @ $65/100 gals Capacity $17, 160 $325, 000 d. Actual Discharge in Terms of Dwelling Unit Equi val en ts @ 383 gpd 68. 9 1, 305. 5 e. Connectio'n Charge Revenue District Would Realize from (d) Dwelling Unit Equivalents @ $250 per unit $17, 225 $326, 3 75 f. Assessed Valuation District would Realize from (d) Dwelling Unit Equivalents @ $7, 000 per unit $482, 300 $9, 138, 500 g. Property Tax Potential of (d) Dwelling Unit Equivalents @ $7, 000 per unit@ $0. 4 740 per $100 Assessed Valuation $ 2, 286 $43, 316 h. Estimated Property Tax Potential of Company @ Assessed Valt:.ation@ $0.4740 · per $100 Assessed Valuation $ 2,133 Orange County Sanitation District No. 3 Connection Fee and Bond Is sue Study Committee April3, 1973 Page 5 4. From a comparison of b and Q, it appears. from the relationship cited ~ above that the excess capacity charge does not recover the District's cost of providing sewerage facilities, especially in the case of "wet" type of industry. · 5. On the basis of relative demand placed on District sewerage facilities, residential land uses provide significantly greater assessed valuation and prop~ erty tax potential compared to industrial uses. Company B, with a discharge of 500, 000 gpd, has a relative demand equivalent to l, 305 residential dwelling units. Company B assessed valuation is $450, 000 whereas the potential assessed valua- tion of l, 305 residential dwelling units is estimated to be $9, 138, 500. In terms of property tax potential, 1, 305 residential dwelling units would provide approxi- mately $43, 300, whereas Company B provides a property tax potential of $2, 133. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS NON-RESIDENTIAL CONNECTION CHARGES 1. In the interest of attempting to achieve optimum equity among potential residential and non-residential users, it is recommended that the suggested method of setting connection charges for non-residential users as outlined in our March 9 report be considered for adoption as a matter of Board policy. 2. The consul ting engineers have projected estimated flows from non- """' residential users at the rate of 3, 555 gpd per acre. The estimated cost of pro- viding sewerage system capacity for this amount of flow is about $2, 300 per acre, or approximately $50 per 1, 000 square feet. 3. In administering the suggested non-residential connection charge, it is recommended that the charge be established at the rate of $50 per 1, 000 square feet of facility, with a minimum charge of $250, equivalent to a residential dwelling unit. It is suggested that this charge be applied to non-residential uses which ·do not place an inordinate demand upon sewerage facilities. 4. With respect to "wet industry" which places an inordinate demand on sewerage facilities, it is recommended that the District continue with the ad- ministration of the Districts' Uniform Connection and Use Ordinance as adopted by the Joint Boards in April, 19 70. In continuing the use of this Ordinance, it should be realized, however, that Federal and State revenue program require- ments may necessitate revision in this Ordinance as a condition for receiving Federal and State assistance for sewerage projects. In this connection, the Environmental Protection Agency published Rules and Regulations in the Orange County Sanitation District No. 3 Connection Fee and Bond Issue Study Committee April 3, 1973 Page 6 February 28, 1973 Federal Register which provide in part as follows: "#35. 92 5-11 User charge system. That, prior to award of any grant after March 1, 1973, for a project which includes the building and erection of a treat- ment works (Step 3) the applicant (a) has adopted or will ·adopt a system of charges to assure that each recipient of waste treatment service will pay Hs proportionate share of the costs of operation and maintenance (includlng replace- ment); (b) has received firm written commitments satis- factory to the Regional Administrator for the payment to such applicant by the industrial users for their proportionate share of the federal share of capital costs of the project allocable to the treatment of such industrial wastes to the extent attri- butable to the Federal share of the cost of construction; and (c) has legal, institutional, managerial, and financial capa- bility to insure adequate construction, operation and main- tenance of treatment work. s throughout the applicant's juris- diction. Grants awarded prior to March 2, 1973, are subject to #35. 835-5 requirements in lieu of the above." It is our understanding that detailed Federal guidelines are being drawn to indicate the manner nnd method for compliance with these provisions of EPA Rules and Regulations. BOND ISSUE REQUIREMENT At our meeting of March 21 with the District staff, data was presented which indicated that the potential bond issue requirement could be significantly less than the $13 million authorization noted in our March 9 report. These data which took into account anticipated revenues of $2. 4 million in connection fees, indicated it may be possible to fund the anticipated cash flow deficit with a bond authorization of approximately $9 million. At this date, we have yet to get an indication of sewage treatment requirements from Federal and State authorities, although such information may be forthcoming shortly. In addition, the Director of Finance has indicated that investment income should exceed original estimates somewhat in view of the dramatic in- crease in interest rates on short term intestments that has been experienced in recent weeks. Orange County Sanitation District No. 3 Connection Fee and Bond Issue Study Committee April 3, 19 73 Page 7 In view of the continued uncertainty regarding level of treatment requirements and the level of revenue realized from connection fees, it is recommended that a decision regarding the amount of bond authorization be deferred at this time until additional information is made available to the Districts. In making a decision regarding the amount of bond authorization to seek, it should be borne in mind that an allowance of six to nine months be made for conducting a bond election and sale of authorized bonds. We sincerely hope this information is helpful to members of the Committee in its deliberations. We ~re prepared to provide additional information as needed by the Committee to complete its deliberations. Very truly yours, .

The report, rel~ased Thursday, contradicts many of the assumptions that have resulted in tight federal and state regulations on ocean dis- , charges. These regulations, it said, apply to inland or freshwater disposal. rather than on what actually happens in the ocean, anu are technically un- sound. Beyond recommencHng step;; to cut dm\·n on the discharge of toxic and floatable materials, the report said th:1t "no substantial modifica- tion of existing \vastewat.er cli::posal practices . . . is justified at present." Thi.s conclusion run.:; contrury. to positions held by a rnriety ot government agencie::. as well a;:; en- vironmental groups and parts of the scientific community, and is ·expect- , -ed to rcin~·igorate the debate over ocean cli~charges. Nor is the debate academic since sew-er agencies estimate that it will <'Ost the taxpayers $600 million by the end of the decade if the 2gencieg have to upgrade their treatment plants to meet government stand- ards. The study, which took three year~ to complete and fills 531 pages, .was conducted by the Southern Califor- nia Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWHP), a unit organized by fiv-a government agencies: Yentura. County, the city of San Diego, the city of Los Angeles. the Sanitation Dh;trict of Orange County and the Sanitation Dbtrict of Lo;:; Angeles County. Control of the $1.1 million J).t'ojed was delegated to a commi:-;-:ion of lo- cal civic leaders and clec:ted offi- cials. The study, conducted by a tcchni- cal staff with the assis- tance of con::ultants and government experts, cov- ered a 000-mile stretch of coa::;t from Point Concep- tion to Cabo Colnett in Baja California, known as the Southern California Bight. Each day seven major outfall.:: along the bight • pour out ;:dmo::t a billicn gallcn:; of waste into the ocean and little is known <>bout the effects of this waste on marine life. The SCC\\'RP :otudy said that its review of avllilable information, plu;o; data ol;>- tained from fielrl and la- boratory. prod(led "an im- proved scientific pcr.spcc- tiv'! of the effects of ocean w a s tf•water discharges" a:iu shot down 11 many myths about the ocean and man's effect on it." One area of the study that ronfirmed pre,·iou;; data. howe,·cr, ,\·as the scc!ion on DDT and PCB, a chemically related sub- stance u:::ed \videly in in- du:::try. Doth long-lastbg chemic<tls are known to build up in fat ti-sues and to affect the environment. Strict Controls Urged 'I'l'-.e SCWHHP report urged :;trict controls and indicated that the sub- stance's are still being di.;.;- char;scd in large quanti- tie:;; along the coa5;t.

Disease Link H O\Vever, the study con- cluded that few of thc3e ecological effects were clearly due to wastewater and that the levels vt me- tals found in the fish did not appear to be related to db ease. Surprisingly, the ~tudy found that metal:=. such as silvet·, chromium ·an<l cop- per, \rere iower in fish near the outfalls than in fish lidng on normal se· diments far from the dis- charges. j ~t said there . was no I evidence f o r increased control of trace metals, a prime target of state and federal regulations, but ac- k n o w 1 e cl g e d that im- proved control of toxic metals is a "prudent and I' meaningful :;.tep." .• It also said there was no evidence for changing treatment to remove nu- trients, such as nitrates, but said they 'vould ac- tually have a "mildly stim- ulating" effect on marine life. Part i cu 1 ate matter, v.rhich federal law says m u s t be drastically re- d ucecl, only affects the "immediate vicinity" of the outfalls, accordin~ to SCWHHP. an area that a project scientist estimated to be about the size of Los Angeles Internlltional Air- port.

"The ,·Lihk .slick or oily- watel' :-;urf:.ice abo\·e the .submerged ou l fall is ae~ thetf cally displL•asing," the report .:;aid. "The materi- als can be carl'iecl into em- bayment.', marinas, the surf zone and onto beaches." These materials, it said: "bear ·sewage bacteria to the surface, where thev can be readily transported onto bcache.s m· shellfi:'ih beds." They al:-:o probably contain DDT and other fat-::oluble chemicals that can enter the food chain, according to the report.

One federal official .said, however, that a change .in the criteria, which will force Southern C.alifornia di2chargers to build co2tlv secondary treatment facil- ities, will probably require a change in law, sirn;e the level of treatment is "Tit- ten into the Clean Water Act of 1970.

As you well know, the Consulting Board has guided the Project and its staff since its inception. The program has now culminated in a creditable report on the characteristics and quality of the waters, creatures, nnd sediments of a majo.r portion of the Southern California Bight. We belie'~ that the extensive list of specific findings of the Project and the very relevant and timely conclusions and l't;COili1110ndations go Ear o document existing conJi tior1:, anci to point bot11 the directicns :~r needed improvements and the studies necessary for further understanding and improvement of our local marine environment. The Consulting Board is most pleast:d to inform you that the Board unanimously agrees with and endorses the findings, summary and conclusions as enunciated by the Project staff. We wish to emphasize the practical and relevant nature of several of the report's conclusions concerning prcsent·wastewater management practice: 1. The Board concurs that there is no evidence to document that present wastewater disposal practices 11ave had any sub- stantial adverse or irreversible effects on the general ecological characteristics or environmental quality of the Bight. 2. On balance, marine wastewater management practices in the study region have been generally competent and responsive to new findings and developments. I .I 3. Implementation of the recommended changes for marine wastewater discharge (particularly improved control of persistent pesticides, other persistent organics, toxic metals, .and floatables) and continuation of research into man's general marine effects are essential for the continued preservation and enhancement of the quality of Southern California's marine environment. 4. The perspective attained by the study on the broad area of man's effects on the Southern California Bight is of major importance, along with the specific findings, for the guidance of future marine related.activities. 5. Present disposal regulations designed largely for freshwater a.~d estuarine environments have limited specific applicability to Southern California discharge practice. The Consulting Board wishes to express their great pleasure in serving the Co111II1ission in the unique capacity as scientific and technical consultants to this most interesting and important project. We hope that the findings, conclusions and recommendations will prove to be of substantial benefit to the Commission, its members' agencies and to the general public.

BOX 8127 10844 ELLIS AVENUE FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CALIFORNIA 92708 (714) 540-2910 (714) 962-2411 FROM: EDWARD JUST, CHAIRMAN, SPECIAL COMMITTEE STUDYING IMPLEMENTATION OF AB 2146 SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION FOR CHANGES IN THE PRESENT DIRECTORS' FEES SCHEDULE In February, 1972 these Boards took action requesting permissive legislation from the State Legislature to reduce multiple directors' fees. On July 10, 1972 the Governor signed AB 2146, which made this possible and it became law on March 7, 1973. Accordingly, this committee is submitting to you tonight a resolution for possible consideration by each district. Also submitted to you tonight is a brief synopsis of some of the past actions of these boards and the alternatives considered. Although we are submitting a resolution to you, we cannot endorse this measure as we do not believe it to be the answer. Its effect is minimal in cost savings as to fees and could result in higher administration costs which would more than offset these savings. This is discussed in greater detail in the analysis. Our committee is not in agreement as to the best alternative. There is one school of thought for maintaining the present structure. There is another favoring consolidation. · If, after our discussion tonight, you wish to proceed with the resolution eliminating the multiple fees, we recommend that Board members discuss the situation with their respective agencies and come back to the Boards in April prepared to vote. Each Board must vote individually on the issue. EJ:ss Respectfully submitted, Edward Just Chairman REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE STUDYING IMPLEMENTATION OF AB 2146 Assembly Bill 2146 applies to Directors representing more than one district at a joint board meeting. It allows the Districts, after passage of a joint resolution approved by all of the districts involved, to limit the compensation of such a Director to $50 per joint board meeting attended by him, not to exceed $100 per month. The measure amends Section 4733 of the California Health and Safety Code, and reads as follows: SECTION 1. Section 4733.5 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read: 4733.5 Where two or more county sanitation districts have joined in the purchase, ownership, use, constr1,Jction, maintenance, or operation of a sewerage system, or sewage disposal or treatment plant, or refuse transfer or disposal system, or both, either within or without the districts, or have so joined for any combination of these purposes, as provided in Section 4742, and the districts hold their meetings jointly, and one or more of the directors serve as a director on more than one of such districts meeting jointly, the districts may, by joint resolution approved by each district, limit the compensation of such a director to compensation equal to not more than fifty dollars ($50) for each jointly held meeting attended by him, not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100) in any one month for attendance at jointly held meetings. Introduction of the legislation allowing limitations of Directors' compensation was initiated by the Orange County Sanitation Districts Joint Boards. It was one of four recommendations by a Special Committee appointed by the Joint Boards March 10, 1971 to study possible changes in the present Directors' fees schedule. The four recommendations presented by the Special Committee at the January 12, 1972 Joint Board meeting were: (1) Maintain the Directors' compensation at the present level as established by resolution of the individual Districts in 1967 and 1968. (2) Amend the fee schedule so that those Directors repre- senting more than one District at a joint meeting would only receive compensation equal to that of a Director representing a single District. (3) Consolidate the various Sanitation Districts into one County Sanitation District with operations, maintenance, and capital outlay costs split evenly throughout the new District . • -1.:.. (4) Consolidate the present Sanitation Districts into one County Sanitation District with special zones which would be co-terminus with existing Districts' boundaries and it would have separate budgets, could issue bonds, and incur bonded indebtedness for improvements and the maintenance thereof within the special zone. Discussion by the Joint Boards at that time centered on alternatives (2) and (4). A motion to adopt alternative (4), consolidation, failed to pass, after which a motion to adopt alternative (2), amending Directors' fees through legislation, was successfully adopted. The permissive legislation was drawn up by the Districts' General Counsel, and through the California Association of Sanitation Agencies, in which the Orange County Sanitation Districts hold membership, the measure was introduced to the Legislature by Assemblyman Townsend. At the January 10, 1973 regular meeting of the Joint Boards, Joint Chairman Finnell appointed Past Joint Chairmen Norman E. Culver, Edward Just, and Clifton Miller to a Special Committee on Directors' Fees for Concurrent Board Meetings, to study and make a recommendation to the Joint Boards in connection with implementing provisions of Assembly Bill 2146. Since that time, the Committee has studied the situation, and compiled the foliowi~g information for the consideration of the Joint Boards. There are presently 48 seats on the Joint Boards: Agencies Sitting on For a total Represented ( ) Boards of ( ) seats 11 1 11 9 2 19 2 .. 3 7 1 4 4 1 7 7 24 48 There are 35 active Directors now on the Joint Boards. Directors Sit on For a total ( ) Boards of ( ) seats 23 1 23 11 2 22 1 3 3 35 48 -2- ' If Districts No. 5 and No. 11 annex presently unincorporated areas, the.entire city councils of the Cities of Newport Beach and Huntington Beach will automatically become the Board of Directors for those two Sanitation Districts, increasing the total number of seats on the Joint Boards to 55. The Committee determined that it would re-submit the four alternatives presented by the prior Special Committee, and the reasoning behind them, plus a fifth alternative originating with the present Special Committee. (1) Maintain the Directors' compensation at the present level as established by resolution of the individual Districts in 1967 and 1968. Both Special Committees concluded that the present fee structure is inequitable and that another alternative should be sought. • It should be noted that this alternative is the only one presented maintaining the existing structure which does have some good features. While the fee structure is under attack, it has been -demonstrated that the present composition of the Boards does provide a powerful lobbying effort. This has been of value most recently in effecting changes in proposed state and federal legislation. It is difficult to place a dollar value on these changes or to give sole credit for their happening to this structure. (2) Amend the fee schedule so that those Directors representing more than one District at a joint meeting would only receive compensation equal to that of a Director representing a single District. Assembly Bill 2146 was designed to accomplish this end. Implementation of the measure will require passage of a joint resolution by each of the Districts involved. It should be pointed out that where a Director represents two or more districts and one of those districts fails to adopt the joint resolution, the Director will continue to collect compensation for each. It is the opinion of the committee that this is not the best solution. Under current law, each city may name an alternate to the Mayor, whereas Sanitary Districts may not. Therefore, we anticipate a total reduction of only five fees; two from the Costa Mesa Sanitary District, one from the Garden Grove Sanitary District, and two from the County Board of Supervisors. It remains a possibility that both Costa Mesa and Garden Grove could name separate individuals to the differ€nt boards, raising the total number of Directors to 46 under the existing boundaries, for a reduction of only two fees. -~ I (3) ( 4) Consolidate the various Sanitation Districts into one County Sanitation District with operations, maintenance, and capital outlay costs split evenly throughout the new District. While this would achieve many of the goals the committee felt were needed, it would create tax increases in Districts 5, 6, and 7, while lowering taxes in Districts 1, 3, and 11. It would have no effect on District 2. The Committee concluded that this would not be an equitable distribution of costs and therefore does not recommend this alternative. Consolidate the present Sanitation Districts into one County Sanitation District with special zones which would be co-terminus with existing Districts' boundaries and it would have separate budgets, could issue bonds, and incur bonded indebtedness for improvements and the maintenance thereof within the special zone. The previous Special Committee selected this alternative as their first choice for adoption. . . In effect, this alternative would provide for only one Sanitation District but would allow for special zones which would be the equivalent of the present County Sanitation Districts which would have no effect on the tax rates of each of the present Districts. The consolidated agencies would act as a single Sanitation District now acts. The existing Joint Administrative Organization would be eliminated as would the necessity for seven sets of resolutions, minutes,·seals, etc., for joint business. Rather than having Distric~ No. 1 act as agent for all the Districts it would merely be one District. There would be no duplication of Directors in that each city within the District, each Sanitary District now represented, and the County Board of Supervisors, would have a single repre- sentative and an alternate for a total of 24 active Directors. This compares to a projection of the present Boards. Currently there are 35 directors representing 20 cities, three Sanitary Districts and the County Board of Supervisors, or a total of 24 agencies. If alternate Directors are selected wherever possible, this could increase to as high as 46. Ultimately, if Districts 5 and 11 annex currently unincorporated areas, the entire city councils of Newport Beach and Huntington Beach will automatically become the Board of Directors for those districts. This would increase the number of Directors to 53 for 55 seats. Two cities would have seven members each voting on matters before the Joint Boards. -4- ., This alternative would also have the effect of substan- tially reducing the number of special districts, an objective formally endorsed by the Orange County Board of Supervisors, the Orange County Division of the League of California Cities, and the Orange County Grand Jury. At the same time, it would still provide the mechanism for solving local problems by providing for zone committees equivalent to the present Districts Boards. Last but certainly not least, the reduction in Directors fees would amount to a substantial savings to the taxpayers of the Districts. (5) Abolish the Joint Boards. Place operation of the Joint Treatment Works under the jurisdiction of the Executive Board, consisting of the chairman of each of the Districts. This action would require passage of special legislation by the State. It would be necessary to word it as per- missive law, as with AB 2146, to make passage feasible, since it would affect all other Sanitation Districts in the State . . Under this proposal, the Executive Board would conduct all business relating to the Joint Treatment works. Individual District boards would meet separately, as needed, to resolve matters pertaining only to their areas. Directors representing more than one District would have to physically attend two meetings to collect double fees if this alternative is selected. Individual board meetings would be smaller and allow closer participation of all directors. It should be noted that this alternative would result in eight separate and distinct meetings, compared to the present two. Consequently, the staff would be attending more meetings, although it is entirely possible that all boards would not have to meet monthly.

' APRIL 11, 1973 JOINT MEETING #6 -Report of the Joint Chairman Chairman Finnell called a meeting of the Executive Committee for 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 24 , and invited Directors Patterson and Fox to attend. He reported on his visit to Washington for the WPCf and AMSA meetings. Said he spent about 30 minutes in WPCf meeting and never got to AMSA meeting. Met with about a dozen Congressmen and Senators regarding the Districts concern over definition of secondary treatment that EPA is about to issue. From information available the best he could determine is that definition does state 85% BOD which is ·criteria for secondary treatment . Would be excellent criteria for inland waterways but not for deep ocean discharges . Said he understood that definition has undergone a series of reviews and is still undergoing r eview. Hopes to continue that review cycle through OMB until other plans can be accomplished . One of the means to express our concern to OMB is by working with Congressman Henshaw, and have worked on a letter with his staff. He has agreed to submit such a letter to OMB asking for further review. Will be pointing out that solution requiring 85% BOD will cost Districts $65 mil lion more and will not enhance marine environment in the ocean. Also met with Orange County Congressman and Senator Cranston in Senator Tunney 's office . Cranston was extremely interested in SCCRWP report. We were able to provide Chapter 12, conclus'ions and recommendations chapter, of that report which supports the position the Boards have taken relative to deep ocean discharge. Met with Leon Billings who works for Senator Muskie. He has been very instrumental in the language of the Clean Water Act passed last Octobe r. Said Director Griset and Mr . Harper both indicated that they saw a change jn the attitude of Billings after talking to him . Bi llings indicated that rather than an 85% BOD blanket type of regulation, he was looking for·very specific objectives , as the State of Ca l ifornia came out with . Also had a long discussion with C ~ngressman Blatnik , who is Chairman of the House Public Works Committee. His understanding is that the adm i nistra- tor of EPA would be given flexibi l ity in def ining secondary treatment. Received a great dea l of sympathy from people but not a lot of recommenda- tions . Congressman Henshaw presented only positive approach to problem, and that was to write to OMB. Said that after meetings, it became obvious that it would be awfully t ough to amend the Bill this term. Ta lked to Hawaii's Congressman . They have as serious a · situation as any state. Effect of 85% BOD could mean loss of 45,000 jobs in sugar industry . To achieve objectives of federal ~overnment at l ess cost, he suggested that a concurrent resolution be passed through both Houses of Congress stating that in passing the Clean Water Bill , it was the intent of Congress to grant flexibility to the Administrator of EPA in defining the term secondary treatment. This idea would be much easier than getting the Bill amended and can b e done quicker . Finnell said that the management of EPA has to rely on their administrator 's advice , and they have advised that they don't believe thet have that flexibility. Said that we have two ways to go : Have regulations continued to be reviewe d and not published in Federal Register , and secondly, to start action to attempt to get this con c urrent resolution passed through the Houses of Congress . .... ,.. p. c.: . .. , ..... Miller asked who our allies were and Finnell answered Washington and Hawaii. Finnell also said that Los Angeles County needs between $400 and $700 million and their approach is to meet this plan. Their approach is different from ours. Said San Diego would like us to succeed and Finnell told them he would like to see them join hands. . . Green stated that he thought they had very little knowledge in LA County and Finnell agreed from what they had said in talking to them in Washington. Finnell then stated that as a result of his trip, the Chair requests a motion authorizing the Board and staff members to meet with officials in Washington, D.C., at the direction of the Joint Chairman until such time as the definition of secondary treatment has been finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency; and authorizing reimbursement for travel, lodging, meals and incidental expenses incurred in connection with said meetings. Finnell said that Congressman Blatnik had asked if he could come back and he had told him yes. Said he thought the Chair should have the flexibility of attending meetings, if necessary. The motion was then made and seconded and carried. ~ #7 .-Report of the General Manager Regardin·g SCCWRP report, stated that it has received quite a bit of notariety and newspapers have written sever-al stories about it. We have distributed Chapter 12 to various people in Washington and have been turning over requests for report K~XKRX from Hawaii, Northern California, and East Coast. Said he believed report is going to be utilized and hopefully, will pay off, and thinks it will. Mr. Harper said regarding EPA, one area we are going to have to concentrate on if we expect to get federal funds is application of equity to individuals that receive services from each of the Districts. Said sometime during this calendar year we are going to have to prepare some ordinances that will deal with this equity situation for all the Districts and should have some type of implementation planned that will have to be f'assed on hy tJle :._S:ta_t_e _, as well as EPA. Mr. Harper said the guideline h for this section of the Act are not available yet; however, they did become effective March 1. Will be no grants issued anywhere until these user charges are dealt with. Said that the staff would be coming to the Board with some- thing but don't know what yet until we see the guidelines. Prime concern is what industry is paying for the services being provided through a ·publicly-owned treatment facility. One of the clauses in the Act that we ·will have to deal with is the collection of any Federal funds that have gone into the treatment works. This money has to be collected and one-half returned to the U.S. Treasury. Will pose a lot of problems for many agencies throughout the country. Mr. Harper said he thought that when this clause was considered, people were looking at some small community ·with one or two industries. In our particular case it is going to be quite difficult and will be a real problem in major metropolitan areas. One problem is that in many cases long-term financial arrangements have been made with communities by industries. Hopes that this is another one of the things that they defer for a year. Will be talking to the Directors about it more in the next few months. ;. p. 3 • r #8 -Report of the General Counsel Nisson reported that he attended the Attorneys Committee Conference of CASA in San Francisco on March 22, where they put the finishing touches on the gui de l ines for the California Environmental Quality Act . Said that in general, the guidelines adopted by our Boards would be the same through- o~t the State· for many many special dis t ricts with regard to headings and layout of the guidelines, so if Directors should be involved in another district, the guidelines here would serve them to understand those. He alsci stated that our first use of the guidelines is in Item 44 of their agenda for that night. Said that he also discussed with some of the other attorneys their particular problems on financing etc . and there are some agencies in the State that are now collecting service charges . Nissop reviewed one of the methods being used by home owners which is notification of hearing , setting it up and then putting it on the tax bill. The initial problem is setting it up but ·flows pretty easily after that. Does present a b i g problem for industries and commercial users . Indicated that that was handled on an individual negotiation basis . Until we get guidelines , won 't know what to do . These are probabilit i es in the future. Stated that he had been working on problems back and forth with Flood ~ontrol District re 3-18 in trying to put sewer in under their line . Said that he will be filing the next day against the City of Westminster on r i ght of way problem . Wo r ked on revision of Ordinances 203 and 303 with r egard to discuss i on at adjourned meeting of District 3 . Said that 2-14 right of way negotiations were proceeding and progressing with contractor. ·Regarding District 7 suit by Su l ly-Miller , contractor and attorney are anxious to work some kind of sett~ement out , but haven't had a chance to discuss it with staff yet. #1 1 -Sp e cial Committee on Directors ' Fees Director Just reviewed the Committee 's feelings and that from those that have indicated their opinion , appears that it i s still between Alternatives 2 and 4 . Director Root stated that the Fu l lerton City Council looked the report over individually and the consensus was that what the Committee real l y started out to do was to try to rectify the wage problem. Said it may be prudent to look further at Districts ' structure but think we should adopt re 5 o l ution cutting back on fees at this time. Commented that the fees of the Joint Chairman should be given some consideration for the great deal of additional time he puts in and that some recommendation should be given to the Chair on this . Said his council was in favor of that. Mcinnis stated that Newport Beach City Council indicated a unanimous position in support of what Mayor Root said . Thinks we should get on with original concept here--fee structure. Vanderwaal said La Palma feels the same way regarding fee structure only . Scott asked if this particular reso l ution had anything to do with Joint Chairman's fee and was just rega~ding Directors' fe e s. Nisson answered that that was rig ht. p. 4 Scott also asked if i t was correct that if the resolution i s adopted the way it is, it would mean that someone that is on two Boards now could appoint another person. Finnell answered that the mayor has the right to ~ppoint a~ alternate. Miller then moved that the Board direct the staff to place on the agenda for e~ch Dist~ict at the neit meeting, a res6lution regarding Directors' compensation, properly numbered and worded , to be acted on individually by each District. Nisson r estated the motion and said that he wanted to review this action with regard to the Joint Chairman and see how it affects him. Lacayo asked if when a Director sits on more than one Board, will he be able to vote individually on each separate Board? Finnell answered yes, but would receive only one paycheck. Gibbs stated that the intent of the whole study was that the Joint Chairman should get due compensation because he is the one that _deserves it most. The review was for the other Directors'~fees. Just said that if he remembered correctly, the legislature specifically excluded the Joint Chairman. Finnell reviewed the past action of·,the Boards in that there was a separate motion that the Joint Chairman's fees be reduced. Were two motions: (1) Which is Alternate 2 to go for legislation; and (2) To reduce the fees of the Joint Chairman, and that motion was defeated. That was the action of the Boards a year and a half ago. Miller stated that the vote did pass to reduce compensation to $250 per month but that didn't carry with legislature. The question was then called for. Motion was seconded and carried. #13 -Action after executive session re Nisson Just moved that we revise the compensation for the legal ~ounsel in concurrence with the request submitted on April 11, and further added that this be taken as a recommendation for a complete vote of confidence ·in our legal counsel. Winn seconded the motion. Ca ll ed for the question and motion carried. Resolution No. 73-38 (repealing or amending ·70-7)? #26 -Dist. 5· Other business Mr. Harper reported that the staff had another discussion .with State Division of Highways, City of Newport Beach, and the latest thing on the ·restriping of mariner's mile (?)will be on April 26 or 27. #45 -Re City of Westminster request?? Finnell advised that Mr . McWhinney , representative from Midway City, had be~n excused because of the death of the manager of the funeral home and services are this evening. -- p. 5 . ,- #46 -Report of General Counsel re 3-18 Nissan reviewed the fact the the Board had adopted Route B and have formally requested an excavaticin permit from the City of Westminster. Said according to our information, they did not grant it. The City : said they wou.ld like the Board to reconsider the routing. We applied for the permit and they turned it down, so have taken action and will file suit tomorrow #48(a) -New item re 3-18-1 Mr. Harper reviewed background regarding this work and requested that Resolution No. 73-37-3 be adopted approving plans and specifications for the Knott Interceptor Crossing of the Westminster Flood Control Channel, Contract No. 3-18-1, authorizing advertising for bids on April 26. Motion was made, seconded and carried. #49 -Ordinance 303 Culver re-opened public hearing and asked if there was anyone from the public that would like to make a statement and there were none. Root reported that subject to the Board's direction, at another meeting of the Special Committee to study connection charges especially relating to industrial and commercial charges, they ·met with Mr. Bodnar and DirectorsVanderwaal and Smith and they provided some additional data. Result of the meeting which took 2-1/2 hours, was that they could not find a better substitute than what Mr. Bodnar recommended in his report to the.Board. Said that the thing the Committee found ·most important was that we are trying to develop optimum equity. Are · not just trying to develop equitable solution to funding problems but one that would ·provide us a method for governmental requirements. Root further stated that the $250 connection charge would raise the funds that would be required for District 3 at present time, and the $50 per thousand square feet see1 ·1ed to provide a more equitable approach than anything else that Corru tittee discussed. He said as far as the bond issue is concerned, it was ':.i·~e consensus of Committee that we could and should delay it up to nine months, because of construction schedule and unknowns in EPA guidelines. Should wait until we have better recommendations to make back to our constituents. Stated the staff has concurred that we can get by with this. \ Recommendation of Committee is that the Board accepts the $50 per · ~housand square feet for commercial and industrial charge, and stay ~ ~itn the $250 residential fee per unit. Opened floor for discussion. Fox stated that his staff reviewed financial consultant's proposals and the council would like to have the opportunity to have the staffs of the cities of District 3 and also District 2, and the Districts' staff, meet and go through some of the analyses or conclusions that the con- sultant arrived at. Said they were not questioning the fact that the funds were needed. Also stated that his city would be most happy to make the arrangements and invite the other cities of both Districts to meet and air some of their questions, and this would also give our staff an opportunity to review some of the questions that the City of Brea forwarded to them this week. Culver asked if his recommendation was that the each individual city has the privilege of meeting with our staff at one time. p. 6 Fox answered that this was not a delaying tactic but want to know exactly what the facts are. l Lacayo asked since this is a pu~lic hearing , are they allowed to have more sessions? Nissen answered yes, that they did not have to have a public hearing. It was only to get public opinion . . Lacayo added that he was willing to support the ordinance that night. Doubted that any further work sessions would reduce the fees but first consideration is to come up with fees . tu l ver stated that Committee has clearly defined $250 and other charges , but do have to take into consideration that possibly some of the cities are shocked with regard to the increase from $50. · 'Y Vanderwaal advised that his council had authorized him to support the ~ $250 and $50 per thousand square feet charge. Based on our information , \~\felt this was adequate. ~~ Root said that this had gone through the City's staff at Fullerton also ~ ~ and their only comment was not to put any more exceptions in the ordinance ~(v as it would make it harder to administer if we have too many breakdowns . ~~Ready to approve the $250 and $50/1000 sq. ft . charges . Lewis also stated that her council was in favor of this. Stevens advised that La Habra had passed on this as suggested by Committee. Said he could understand City of Brea's concern and thought what they were .concerned about was that it might place them in an uncompetitve position wi th other Districts. Fox said that was one of their concerns . Green conunented that the longer we delay , may have to go to $300 charge. Said Don's council should have been here tonight and asked their questions . The longer we wait , the more money we are losing on the fees . Don't see any alternative than to go ahead with this . Should discuss later inviting city councils and sanitary districts' directors to discuss bond issue, and .at that time fill them in on any other information they need . Jesse Davis stated that his staff and council was extremely upset and unhappy with the fees , but knowir.5 there was a need for them , they authorized him to go ahead and v~ce for them . Said he thought it would be a very good idea to set up a iueeting . Culver asked Director Fox if it was his intent to pass a resolution tonight or hold the informative meeting first . Fox answered that they wanted to hold the informative meeting first and get information and then come back . Staff was concerned with how the numbe~s_were derived . Introduced Brea's City Manag§.r , Wayne Wedin, who stated a number of questions that his council would like to have answered . There was then some discussion regarding the equity of charges for warehouses . tLacayo then said that the Board and Stone & Youngberg had spent considerable time on this financial report and it was time to vote . Moved to close the public hearing . Motion seconded and carried. Mr . Harper then stated that since the Chairman of the Special committee had mentioned the staff, his opinion was that there is two points we must keep in mind . First of all , regarding the program of adopting the connection charges, the only way it is going to work successfully is if we have the cooperation of all of the cities involved within the Districts . Without them collecting the money based on the permits they issue, it would be very difficult for us to police the funds . Also, we are going to have to develop a program for all of the Districts that we can p. 7 demonstrate that we are collecting the proper amount in the various places. Said only problem has to do with the industrial charges . One complaint they might have if we adopt a rather substantial charge for the industrial, and then come tack within six months with another us er type charge on top of it . That might be difficult to explain to \ the District we are working with . Mo r e discussion regarding what the Committee considered in their I meet~ngs and their conclusions regarding balancing the equity of the c h arges . Lacayothen asked i f it was proper to move the tit l e only for adoption? Ni ssan answered yes. He then moved adoption by title only . There was then some discussion regarding the current industrial waste o r dinance which Mr . Harper commented on . The motion to read by title only was voted on and carried . Mr. Nisson read the title of Ordinance No. 303 . Lacayo moved adoption , the motion was seconded and carried by a roll call vote of 13:2 Gree n then recommended that the staff set up an informative meetings to discuss with all the cities ' staffs , their questions and information regarding the bond issue. #58 -Formal report re Dist. 2 financing Don Smith r eported that they had a couple of alternatives to consider that night. Because of the need for equity in their charges and because of the .cash flow outlay needs for $1 .7 million, should .maybe consider having the consultant report in District 2 so that the Directors will -have support if their are any problems with the i r councils. Mr . Smith s t ated that h e received information from Stone & Youngberg that they would do a report for District 2. Are some differences between Dis trict 3 and Dist~ict 2 , and one of them is that in District 2 there is a lot of u ndevelo)ed property where District 3 hasn't that situation . Stated t hat St~ 1e & Youngberg could make the r eport by April 27th, and District 2 cou l d p~Jceed with public hearing. Cost involved for this report would be $250 per day with a maximum of $3,000 .00 . Smith .said because District 2 may need support to feds and state regarding charges in the District , they may need report by professional consu l tant . Hard to tell about that tho. Sm i th sai d what they needed to do that night was to compile information regarding changes in fee schedule from charges previously given. Said he thought they should give 30 days notice of public hearing on adoption o f the ordinance. F i n n ell said he was not opposed to idea of consultant doing report. Added he wou l d like to see in the r eport over and above the basis for the charges , i n the area of industrial, a comparison of the consultant's proposed ~barges in District No. 2 and the existing charges in all other districts n Orange County. Said he thought that in the area of residential cti vity , they. get the development in their city based on a number of d i f f e r ent criteria that developers have . Same thing may hold true in i ndustrial. If a number of cities are competing in this county , would like to know that by passing a certain connection charge in District 2 that his city is not going to be placed at an unfair compet i tive edge for industri al land. Would like to see the consultant show some compara- t ive information as to the affect on industrial--whatever they propose vs . what it is in other areas of the county. p. 8 Root then stated that District 3 wasn 't in the same position as District 2. Didn't feel industrial was quite as competitive . Finnell added that his council was very concerned regarding this. Smith asked if the point was to see if it was pretty well equalized or too high or what? Finnell answered that in ~re a -of industrial cha~ges, w~nt to make sure that we aren't instituting a connection charge that would put us at an disadvantage to other areas of the county that we are _competing with . Smith asked Directors if they thought they should have study done. Commented that it may not take full $3 ,000. Root stated that he thought that it was probably money well spent just to have it in the file. Don't have any rationale for increase in charges without some backup information. Castro said he was i~ favor of report.and his council wou ld like to know why figures for residential tripled. Smith then stated that he thought the Board should request report from Stone & Youngberg and have it mai led to Directors by April 27, for a maximum fee not to exceed $3 ,000.00, with an additional report concerning industrial charges . Motion was made to do so, Motion seconded and carried. #59 -Public Hearing on Ordinance 203 After some discussion regarding a date that was open for everyone, it was moved to hold public hearing meeting on May 23. Winn asked if there would be some numbers in Ordinance 203 that they would see or would they be left blank? Asked if they were still talking ·about $50 charge or what. Mr. Harper recommended that since they would have consultant's report by' April 27, they could determine the numbers that they wished to consider by the M<y 2nd meeting. Finnell ~aid he thought the information should be mailed directly to the Directors. The motion was then amended or changed to read that on May 2nd the Board establish the amounts to be used for residential and commercial, and that the hearing on these be held May 23 at 5:00 p.m. COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS NOS. 1, 2, 3 2 5 2 6 2 7 2 8 2 AND 11 DISTRICT NO. 1 Directors present: Directors absent: DISTRICT NO. 2 Directors present: Directors absent: DISTRICT NO. 3 Directors present: Directors absent: DISTRICT NO. 5 Directors present: Directors absent: DISTRICT NO. 6 Directors present: Directors absent: DISTRICT NO. 7 Directors present: Directors absent: ~ DISTRICT NO. 8 Directors present: Directors absent: DISTRICT NO. 11 Directors present: Directors absent: MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING April 11 2 1973 -7:30 p.m. 10844 El~is Avenue Fountain Valley, California ROLL CALL Jerry Patterson (Chairman pro tern), Robert Battin, Clifton Miller and Ellis Porter None Donald Smith (Chairman), Rudy Castro~ Ralph Clark, Norman Culver, Robert Finnell, Donald Fox, Jerry Patterson, Edward Just, Rebert Nevil, Robert Root, Mark Stephenson and Donald Winn None Norman Culver (Chairman), Robert Battin, Jesse Davis, Donald Fox, Jack Green, Jerry Patterson, Otto Lacayo, Alicita Lewis, Charles Long, Derek McWhinney, Robert Root, Frank Sales, George Scott, Mark Stephenson, Charles Stevens, Jr., and Cor Vanderwaal None Donald Mcinnis (Chairman), David Baker, and Carl Kymla None Ellis Porter (Chairman), Robert Battin, and Donald Mcinnis.

ALL DISTRICTS Report of the Joint Chairman Joint Chairman Finnell reported that he and Directors Griset, Just, and the General Manager had met the week of April 1st with key Congressional representatives·in Washington, D. C. in oonnec- tion with the proposed definition of secor.dary treatment being formulated by the Environmental Protection Agency. Concurrently, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project published the results of their three-year study in a report entitled "The Ecology of the Southern California Bight: Implications for Water Quality Management." Copies of the conclusions and recommendations of the report, which support the position of the Districts' Boards, that wastewater discharge to the ocean is not deleterious to the marine environment, were provided the congressmen and their staff members. Mr. Finnell observed that their meetings with Congressional representatives were quite fruitful, and it appears as if support from key members of both the House and Senate, to clarify the intent of Congress with regard to the flexibility granted the Administrator of EPA in defining the term secondary treatment for different types of dischargers, will be forth- coming. EPA's General Counsel has ruled that the proposed definition must be uniformly applied to both fresh water and ocean water dischargers. The Office .of Management and Budget was also very interested in the information which was presented to them by our Districts' representatives. OMB will be very influential in the final determination of the secondary treatment definition to be published in the Federal Register. The Joint Chairman then called a meeting of the Executive Committee for 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 24, and invited Directors Patterson and Fox to attend and participate in the discussions. -3- 4/11/73 ALL DISTRICTS Authorizing Directors and staff to meet with officials in Washington, D.

C., at the direc- tion of the Joint Chairman, until such time as the definition of secondary treatment has been finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency; and, FURTHER MOVED: That reimbursement for travel, lodging, meals, and incidental expenses incurred in connection with said meetings be authorized. ALL DISTRICTS Report of the General Manager The General Manager commented briefly on the three-year study published by the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project and observed that it had received considerable press coverage since its release the first week in April.· The Districts have furnished copies to several officials in Washington in ·connection with our efforts regarding the proposed definition of secondary treatment. Mr. Harper reviewed the provisions of the new Federal Water Quality Control Act which require implementation of user charges as a requisite for construction gr~nt eligibili~y. Although the provision became effective March 1, EPA has not yet published the user charge system guidelines. The General Manager pointed out, it appears as if each District will have to adopt an ordinance in the near future establishing fees that demonstrate equity of charges for all users of the Districts' system. The uniform Connection and Use Ordinance presently provides for excess use and capacity charges for industrial and commercial dischargers; however, the charges will have to be increased to meet the requirements of the Act.

Report of Special Committee -Director Root, Chairman of the Special Committee to Recommend Financing to Implement the District No. 3 Construction Program, reviewed the activities of his Committee. 'rhe Committee considered the recommendations contained in the report on financing major sewer·age improvements prepared by the firm of Stone and Youngberg, Municipal Financing Consultants, Inc. Particular attention was given the proposed connection fees for commercial and industrial developments and the recommendations for a general obligation bond issue. It was the Committee's recommendation that the following connection fees be established as soon as practicable: Residential Units Commercial and Industrial $250 $50/1000 sq. feet with $250 minimum Commercial and industrial establishments having a high volume of water discharges will continue to be subject to exc~ss capacity connection charges as provided in the existing Uniform Connection and Use Ordinance. Defer decision on amount of bond issue and timing o~ election for up to nine months. -10- 4/11/73 Current cash flow projections indicate that a determination on a general obligation bond issue can be deferred up to the beginning of 1974, pending a decision by EPA regarding the definition of secondary treatment and its effect on the District's funding requirements. During the general discussion that followed, several of the Directors pointed out. the position which the governing boards of their respective agencies had taken with regard to the proposed connection fees. Director Fox stated that he felt the representatives of the cities within the District should be afforded the opportunity to meet with the financial con- sultant and the District staff to review and clarify the basic information developed and presented in the consultant's report and recommendations. The Chair then recognized Mr. Wayne Wedin, City Manager of Brea, who outlined a number of questions that his Council had posed with regard to the financial consultant's recommendations. Mr. Harper pointed out that in o~der to implement the proposed Connection Ordinance, ·it would be necessary for the District to enter into agreements with each of-the cities to provide for collection of the proposed fees. Each city has been contacted in this regard and provided with a draft copy of a proposed agreement for collecting sewer connection charges. He further pointed out that pursuant to the recently-adopted Federal Water Pollution Control Act, in all·likelihood, .each of the Joint Districts will have to adopt a ratner substantial increase in the present industrial excess-·use charges provided for in the Uniform Connection and Use Ordinance, in order that the Districts may demonstrate equitability of user charges for all District services.
