OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 6 ESTABLISHING SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES The Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No. 6 of -Orange County, California, does hereby ORDAIN as follows: Section 1: Purpose. The purpose of this Ordinance is to establish a system of sanitary sewer service charges required to be paid by property owners for the services and facilities furnished by the District in connection with its sanitation treatment works and sewage collection system. Revenues derived under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance and operation of the sewage collection facilities and wastewater treatment and disposal facilities of the District, together with costs of administration and provisions for necessary reserves. Section 2: Annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge. Each parcel of real property located within the District which is improved with structures designed for residential, commercial or industrial use and connected to the District' s system, shall pay a sanitary sewer service charge based on the average volume of wastewater discharged by a class of users in the sum or sums as set forth in Table A of this Ordinance. Section 3 : Application of Ordinance. The provisions of this Ordinance shall be in addition to Ordinance No. 606 of the District establishing regulations for use of District's sewage facilities, including provisions for payment of charges or fees "A-1 AGENDA ITEM #16 - DISTRICT 6 "A-1" related thereto. Section 4 : Exceptions. The provisions of this Ordinance shall apply to all properties in the District, and no exception shall be provided for properties otherwise deemed exempt by • provisions of the State Constitution or statute, such as properties owned by other public agencies or tax exempt organizations, except as expressly provided in Section 5 hereof. Section 5: Exemptions and Appeals. In recognition that certain legal parcels of real property exist within the District which are not connected to the District system and that other properties acquire considerably greater potable water than is ultimately discharged to the District's system, it is the intent of the District that said parcels be exempt totally or in part from the 'payment of charges as prescribed herein. Any property owner may appeal the assessment of the charges and submit a claim for rebate to the District on the forms prescribed and provided by the District, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the annual property tax bills are mailed by the Orange County Tax Collector. All applications for rebate of an assessment will be determined by the General Manager of the District, who may grant a partial or full rebate or adjustment of the charge based on receiving satisfactory proof that an inequity exists between the amount or assessment and the amount of wastewater discharged to the District' s systems. Such inequities may include, but are not limited to: a) the number of connections on the parcel differs from the assessment; -2- "A-2" AGENDA ITEM #16 - DISTRICT 6 "A-2" b) no service connection to the District system exists from the parcel assessed; c) principal water use is agricultural d) any other use wherein the amount of wastewater discharged to the District' s system is significantly less on a regular basis than the amount of potable water received as measured by the meter on the property. Section 6: Assessment Based on Fiscal Year. The sanitary sewer service charge established by this Ordinance shall be for the fiscal year commencing July 1 and terminating June 30 , and there shall be no proration of such charges. Section 7: Method of Collection. Pursuant to the authority granted by California Health and Safety Code Section 5473, all charges established herein shall be collected on the County Tax Roll in the same manner, by the same persons and at the same time as, together with and not separately from, its general taxes. The County Tax Collector is authorized and hereby ordered to make said collections in accordance with the terms and conditions of agreements between the County of Orange and this District. In the event District determines that errors or inequities exist in the amount of charges to be collected by the County Tax Collector , District may submit a bill for any difference directly to the property owner. Said invoiced amount shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of invoice date. Section 8: Credit for Industrial Permittees: A credit shall be allowed to all dischargers permitted pursuant to Article 3 of Ordinance No. 606 for the annual sanitary sewer service charge -3- "A-3 AGENDA ITEM #16 - DISTRICT 6 "A-3" established by this Ordinance in the same manner as credit is allowed for ad valorem taxes pursuant to Section 302.6 of �1 Ordinance No. 606. Section 9: Severability. If any provisions of this Ordinance or the application to any person or circumstance is held invalid by order of court, the remainder of the Ordinance or the application of such provision to other persons or other circumstances shall not be affected. Section 10: Effective Date: This Ordinance shall become effective July 9, 1983.

At the regular meeting on May llth the Boards held a public hearing on the proposed revisions to the Uniform Ordinance Establishing Regulations for Use of Districts' Sewerage Facilities (Industrial Waste Ordinance) . At the conclusion of the hearing the Boards incorporated all final suggestions and other changes in wording that they deemed appropriate with the exception of Section 308 regarding excess capacity charges. Because of the broad and general nature of the language in this section staff was requested to review it and report back to the Boards. Enclosed is a report prepared by the Chief Engineer which recommends the following minor change in Section 308: 308. EXCESS CAPACITY CHARGE New developments or existing developments that expand operations that require substantial s, sewerage facilities capacity may be subject to an excess capacity facilities charge in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis. The intent of this section is to assure that high users of Districts ' facilities be required to pay their fair share of the added capital cost to provide service capacity. It is felt that by reviewing on a case-by-case basis the circumstances regarding new permittees that place a significant demand on the Districts ' system and existing permittees that substantially expand their operation and thus increase their system loading, a policy based on our experience with actual situations would evolve over the next few years that could then be incorporated into the ordinance. This is consistent with the Executive Committee' s conceptual endorsement of this new item in the ordinance. 6/l/83 .r, The agenda item is for each District to conduct the second reading and adopt its respective industrial waste ordinance. At the meeting the Chief Engineer will review the staff report and any written comments received on the proposed ordinance since the May 13th Board meeting. DISTRICT NO. 6 No. 16 : Proposed Ordinance No. 607 Establishing Sanitary Sewer Service Charges. In accordance with the schedule for implementation of sewer service charges authorized by the Boards, Ordinance No. 607 Establishing Sanitary Sewer Service Charges has been placed on the agenda for the first reading. Public hearing and consideration of adoption of the ordinance is scheduled for June 9, 1983 at 7: 30 p.m. at the Costa Mesa City Hall. Directors have previously been mailed a copy of the notice of the proposed user fees that was mailed to all property owners on May 23rd. The first workshop will be conducted on May 31st and staff will brief the Directors at the June lst Board meeting on public commentary to date. REGULATIONS FOR USE OF DISTRICT SEWERAGE FACILITIES - r/� 7 i COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS OF i ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA DULY 1 , 1983 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County were formed during the 1946-47 era, but did not commence operation until 1954 when they acquired the existing treatment facilities in Fountain Valley and completed the treatment plant and ocean outfall in Huntington Beach. Recognizing the need to control the quantity and quality of wastewaters discharged to the sewer system, the Districts' Boards ,r of Directors adopted their first Ordinance regulating the use of the sewerage systems in February 1954. This Ordinance was later amended in February 1958 and again in April 1970. The 1970 revision formally established the Districts ' NNW Industrial Waste Division for the purpose of issuing permits, setting flow and quality limits and monitoring discharges to the system. The administrative procedures and use charges were modified with each revision, but the basic quality requirements remained essentially the same. These quality requirements were effective from February 1954 until July 1, 1976, when a new Ordinance titled "Regulations for Use of District Sewerage Facilities" became effective. That Ordinance was established with four primary goals: • To control heavy metals and non-compatible wastes discharged to the sewer system in a practical and cost-effective manner. • To encourage industry to reduce the volume of water discharged to the sewer system. • To establish an effective monitoring program for the control of industrial wastewaters, with enforcement to insure equal treat- ment to all dischargers. • To equitably allocate treatment costs . This document incorporates necessary modifications to implement and enforce current Federal , State and District standards and goals. low It will continue to be the Districts ' objective to issue permits to all Industrial/Commercial Users who discharge, or have the potential to discharge, incompatible pollutants to the sewerage system and/or whose charge for use exceeds that amount allocated to the Districts through the ad valorem tax bill .

PURPOSE AND POLICY A. The purpose of this Ordinance is to provide for the maximum public benefit from the use of District' s facilities. This shall be ``d accomplished by regulating sewer use and wastewater discharges, by providing equitable distribution of costs in compliance with applicable State and Federal regulations, and by providing pro- 091 cedures that will allow District to comply with requirements placed upon the District by other regulatory agencies. The revenues to be derived from the application of this Ordinance ,Mw shall be used to defray all costs of providing sewerage service by the District, including, but not limited to, administration, operation, monitoring, maintenance, financing, capital construction, low replacement and recovery, and provisions for necessary reserves. B. This Ordinance shall be interpreted in accordance with the definitions set forth in Section 102. The provisions of the Ordinance shall apply to the direct or indirect discharge of all liquid wastes carried to facilities of the District. �.+ C. To comply with Federal and State of California policies and to permit the District to meet applicable standards of treatment plant effluent quality, provisions are made in this Ordinance for the regulation of wastewater discharges to the public sewer. This Ordinance establishes quantity and quality limitations on all wastewater discharges which may adversely affect the District's sewerage systems, processes, effluent quality, or inhibit the District' s ability to meet special discharge criteria. It is the intent of these limitations to improve the quality of wastewater being received for treatment and to encourage water conservation by *•+ all users connected to a public sewer. Implication of this intent is the District' s policy of discouraging an increase in the quantity (mass emission) of waste constituents being discharged. This Ordinance also provides for regulation of the degree of waste pretreatment required, the issuance of permits for wastewater discharge and connections and other miscellaneous permits, and the establishment of penalties for violation of the Ordinance. D. Since the District is committed to a policy of wastewater reclamation and reuse in order to provide an alternate source of water supply, the adoption of programs for reclamation ,� -1- i through secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment processes may necessitate more stringent quality requirements on wastewater 4 discharges. In the event that more stringent quality requirements are necessary, the Ordinance will be amended to reflect those changes. 102. DEFINITIONS tow A.

A discharger who is issued a Class I wastewater discharge permit L, under the provisions of this Ordinance shall pay a charge for use in accordance with the formula contained herein and the unit charge rates adopted annually by resolution of the Board of Directors. 1.1 These fees shall be invoiced on a quarterly basis. The quarterly invoice may be based upon an estimate of the annual use as -- determined by the District. Annually, the District shall compute the charge for use based upon actual use for the preceding 12-month period on an annual reconciliation statement. The charge for use is payable within forty-five (45) days of invoicing by the District. A credit will be allowed for the annual ad valorem tax basic levy allocated to the District for the property for which a permit has been issued by the District, exclusive of that portion of the tax paid for debt service. A credit will also be allowed -18- for any separate use fee adopted by the Board of Directors by ,..� separate ordinance. Debt service shall be considered as interest payable on District' s general obligation bonds and annual bond redemptions. C. The charge for use shall be computed by the following formula: Charge for Use = VoV + BoB + SoS - Tax Credit Where V = total annual volume of flow, in millions of gallons B = total annual discharge of biochemical oxygen demand, in thousands of pounds S = total annual discharge of suspended solids, in thousands of pounds Vo,Bo,So = unit charge rates adopted annually by resolution of the District' s Board of Directors, based upon the funding requirements of providing sewerage service, in dollars per unit as described in Paragraph D below: D. The unit charge rates in the charge for use formula shall be determined by the following method: 1 . The total annual operation and maintenance funding requirements of the sewerage system shall be allocated among the three wastewater charge parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand 4a and suspended solids in accordance with the General Manager' s determination as to the costs associated with each parameter and pursuant to applicable requirements of State and Federal regulatory agencies. The operation and maintenance costs as distributed to flow, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids shall be divided by the projected annual total flow volume and weights of biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids to be treated by the sewerage system in the budgeted year. + 2. A capital facilities charge for capital recovery and capital improvement shall be levied at the rate of $200 per million gallons of wastewater. This charge shall be allocated among wastewater charge parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids in accordance with the General Manager' s determination of which portion of the charge predominantly relates to each parameter. The capital facilities charge distributed to biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids shall be divided by the projected annual weights of biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids to be treated by the sewerage system in the budgeted year. low -19- V* 3. The unit charge rates for each respective wastewater parameter in (1) and (2) above shall be summed. The unit wastewater charge rates so determined will be expressed in dollars per million gallons for Vo, and in dollars per thousand pounds for Bo and So. E. Other measurements of the organic content of the wastewater of a - discharger, such as C.O.D. or T.O.C. , may be used instead of B.O.D. However, the discharger must establish for the District a relationship between the B.O.D. of his wastewater and the parameter of measure. This relationship shall be used by the District in determining the charge for use. When wastewater from sanitary facilities is discharged separately from the other wastewater of a discharger, the charge for use for discharging the sanitary wastewater may be determined by using the following: 1. 10,000 gallons per employee per year; i 2. B.O.D. and suspended solids to be calculated at 250 mg/l per employee per year. (The number of employees will be considered as the average number of people employed full-time on a daily basis. This may be determined by averaging the number of people employed at the beginning and ending of each quarter, or other period that reflects normal employment fluctuations. ) tir 303.

A credit will VOW also be allowed for any separate use fee adopted by the Board of Directors by separate ordinance. Debt service shall be considered as interest payable on District' s general obligation bonds and annual bond redemptions. C. The charge for use shall be computed by the following formula: low Charge for Use = VoV + BoB + SoS - Tax Credit Where V = total annual volume of flow, in millions of gallons B = total annual discharge of biochemical oxygen demand, in thousands of pounds S = total annual discharge of suspended solids, in thousands of pounds Vo,Bo,So = unit charge rates adopted annually by resolution of the District' s Board of Directors, based upon the funding requirements of providing sewerage service, in dollars per unit as described below. 40" D. The unit charge rates in the charge for use formula shall be established annually and shall be determined by the following method: �r 1 . The total annual operation and maintenance funding requirements of the sewerage system shall be allocated among the three wastewater charge parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids in accordance with the General Manager' s determination as to the costs associated with each parameter and pursuant to applicable requirements of State and Federal low regulatory agencies. The operation and maintenance costs as distributed to flow, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids shall be divided by the projected annual total flow volume and weights of biochemical oxygen demand and suspended ,,r -23- W solids to be treated by the sewerage system in the budgeted year. w 2. A capital facilities charge for capital recovery and capital improvement shall be levied at the rate of $200 per million gallons of wastewater. This charge shall be allocated among the three wastewater charge parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids in accordance with the General Manager' s determination of which portion of the charge predominantly relates to each parameter. The capital facilities charge distributed to biochemical oxygen demand and suspended 1 solids shall be divided by the projected annual weights of biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids to be treated by the sewerage system in the budgeted year. w� 3. The unit charge rates for each respective wastewater parameter in (1) and (2) above shall be summed. The unit wastewater charge rates so determined will be expressed in dollars per million gallons for Uo, and in dollars per thousand pounds for Bo and So. E. Other measurements of the organic content of the wastewater of a discharger, such as C.O.D. or T.O.C. , may be used instead of B.O.D. _ However, the discharger must establish for the District a relationship between the B.O.D. of his wastewater and the other parameter of measure. This relationship shall be used by the Districts in determining the charge for use. When wastewater from sanitary facilities is discharged separately from the other wastewater of a discharger, the charge for use for discharging the sanitary wastewater may be determined by using the following: 1. 10,000 gallons per employee per year; 2. B.O.D. and suspended solids to be calculated at 250 mg/1 per employee per year. +w (The number of employees will be considered as the average number of people employed full-time on a daily basis. This may be determined by averaging the number of people employed at the beginning and ending of each quarter, or other period that - reflects normal employment fluctuations. ) 1.r 304.

Preliminary Determination of Non-Compliance with Permit ,W Requirements Non-compliance with permit discharge requirements may be determined by an analysis of a grab (for pH only) or composite sample of the effluent of a discharger for any constituent or condition specified in the user' s permit. If the effluent of a user is found by the analysis of the sample to be in excess of the concentrations or '-+ conditions specified in Section 204 or Section 208, routine sampling charges as set forth in Tables II and III shall be levied. A subsequent composite sample will be taken within thirty (30) days, which will also be subject to routine sampling charges if found to be in non-compliance. If the second sample reveals non- compliance, then a Sampling and Evaluation Program may be initiated by the District. C. Sample and Evaluation Program *� 1 . If the Sampling and Evaluation (S&E) Program reveals non- compliance by the permittee with the mass emission rates or conditions specified in the user' s permit, the permittee .� shall pay the fees as specified in Tables II and III and may be .assessed all other costs incurred during the S&E Program for sampling and analysis, including labor, equipment, materials and overhead. The fees specified shall become retroactive to the date the Sampling and Evaluation Program started. The fees for non-compliance shall continue to accumulate for each day sampled, not to exceed ten (10) low normal working days. 2. If non-compliance by the permittee with mass emission rates or 419 conditions as specified in the user' s permit is determined, the District' s Chief Engineer may proceed with one of the following: VW a) Amend the existing permit through an Enforcement Compliance Schedule Agreement (ECSA) . This may be done after consultation with the permittee and when the discharger has shown good faith in trying to comply but requires MW additional time for construction and/or acquisition of equipment related to pretreatment. The permit may be amended with the ECSA for a period of up to 180 days, MW however, this period may be extended for a period not to exceed an additional 180 days upon determination by the Chief Engineer that good cause exists for an additional period. No further extensions shall be granted except upon approval of the Board of Directors. Any condition of the ESCA not acceptable to the Permittee may be appealed under the provisions of Section 601 .8 of this Ordinance. b) If corrective action is not taken within a reasonable time after completion of the Sampling and Evaluation -+ Program and notification to the Permittee of the expiration of the ECSA and the discharger is still not in compliance, then a Cease and Desist order may be issued. -35- . trr c) Commence enforcement action as outlined in this Article. j The payment of non-compliance fees will not bar the District from undertaking enforcement procedures as specified in Article 6. Wr 601 .1 Non-Compliance with Permit Requirements (Wastehauler) 1 ! A. Non-compliance with permit requirements shall be determined by an anaylsis of a grab sample of the effluent for any constitutent or _ condition specified in the user's permit. If the effluent of a user is found by the analysis to be in excess of the concentrations or conditions specified in the user' s permit and it can be proven to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer to be of septic tank/cesspool or non-industrial origin, the following shall apply: 1 . First violation and all subsequent violations - wastehauler shall identify, in writing, the source of the discharge. � { 6W 2. Second violation - permittee' s disposal privileges shall be suspended for five (5) days. ! ! 3.

BOX 8127 10844 ELLIS AVENUE FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CALIFORNIA 92708 (714) 540-2910 (714) 962-2411 May 25 , 1983 { STAFF REPORT Subject: Districts ' "Regulations For Use of District Sewerage Facilities , " Section 308, Excess Capacity Charge At the conclusion of the public hearing at the regular Board meeting held on May llth on the Districts ' Industrial Waste Ordinance, all articles and sections of the Ordinance were finalized with the exception of Article 3, Section 308, entitled "Excess Capacity Charge. " This matter was discussed in detail at the May 11 meeting, and it was felt that the section as set forth in the Ordinance would not change in substance, but perhaps clarification could be made. The staff, in review of Section 308, suggests the following minor change: 308 . EXCESS CAPACITY CHARGE New developments or existing developments that expand operations that require substantial sewer sewerage facilities capacity may be subject to an excess capacity facilities charge in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis. The staff feels it would be difficult at this time to incorporate finite excess capacity charges in the Ordinance until sufficient experience has been gained in dealing with this problem. It is the staff ' s recommendation that Section 308 should remain as is at this time with the minor correction noted above. However, after sufficient experience has been gained in this matter, the Ordinance may be revised. As an initial guideline to the staff, but not to be incorporated in the Ordinance at this time, the Directors may consider a definition of "substantial" as set forth in Section 308. "Substantial" may be defined as follows : New developments: If a new user 's anticipated discharge is greater than twice the District's maximum land use flow co-efficient (10,000 gallons per acre per day) and/or the strength of the sewage (BOD or suspended solids) is greater than twice the strength of domestic sewage (500 mg/1) . r Existing developments : Any existing user who expands his wastewater discharge by more than 25% and if the total anticipated expanded discharge is greater than twice the strength of domestic sewage (500 mg/1) . A staff report will be made to the Fiscal Policy Committee and to the Boards of Directors to determine the amount of the excess capacity charges that will be imposed under the above situations. The development will be given credit against this excess capacity charge for all connection fees applicable under Article 7. Attached to this Memorandum are excerpts from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District 's Ordinance dealing with sewer connection fees . Since the adoption of this Ordinance by the LACSD, many of the industries are trying to relocate in our service area to avoid paying LACSD 's capacity charges, ranging from $100 ,000 to in excess of $1,000, 000 . This enclosure is for Directors ' information only and not to be considered for inclusion in our Section 308. -2- �r0UN T Y S,^ NIT, t 10N -D { S "MiC►S SOLID WAITS M!►NAOlMLM OF LOS ^,NO `LE S CJOUNTY 1955 Workman Milt s?ood / Wi ittier, Cciifornia t:ciiina Address: / P.

This program requires all new users of the sewerage system, as well as existing users who expand their wastewater discharge by more than 25%, to pay a connection fee to the Districts based upon the quantity and the strength of their wastewate discharge. This connection fee applies to residential , commercial and industrial dischargers. The connection fee is to be paid prior to the time the facility is actually connected to the sewer or, in the case of expanding existing facilities, at the time of expansion of the wastewater discharge. Companies that expand their wastewater dis- charge will be required to pay a connection fee for only the increased discharge. Baseline capacity for connection fees to existing users is determined from the Districts' industrial permit and surcharge records. The connection fee program is designed to require that new or expanding users of the sewerage system pay for the costs of new facilities required to provide the service. During the recent development of the Sanitation Districts' service (user) charge program, the public expressed concern about the increased costs of con- struction and operation of sewerage facilities needed to accommodate new homes, apartments, commercial businesses, and industrial companies connecting to the sewer system. Existing users indicated that they did not wish to subsidize this growth of new wastewater discharges. Due to this input, the Sanitation Districts' Boards of Directors requested that a connection fee program be developed for new and significantly expanding users of the sewerage system. These users will pay their fair share of the costs required to expand the sewerage system to adequately treat and dispose of their wastewater. One impact of this program will be that current sewer use charges (surcharge program for industrial dischargers) will not be used to pay for the costs of providing facilities for new dischargers. Should you have questions regarding the industrial connection fee program, please contact Paul Martyn of the Industrial Waste Section at 699-7411 , extension 284. Very truly yours, Walter E.

SECTION 1.02 - PURPOSE The purpose of this Ordinance is to impose charges for the privi- lege or connecting a parcel within the District directly or indirectly to the District 's sewerage system as hereinafter defined or for increasing the strength and/or quantity of wastewater attributable to a connected parcel, and to pro- vide for collection of said charges. Funds derived under this Ordinance shall be used by the District for capital facilities and to meet contractual obli- gations for additional capital facilities. SECTION 2.02 - CAPACITY UNIT Capacity Unit shall mean the burden in terms of capacity that a typical single family home places on the sewerage system based on flow, chemical oxygen demand, and suspended solids . SECTION 3.02 - CALCULATION OF THE CONNECTION FEE (1) The connection fee for any parcel within the District 's boundaries connecting directly or indirectly to the sewerage system shall be based on anticipated use and shall equal the product of the estimated number of capacity units which will result from the connection, as determined in paragraph (2) of this section, and the connection fee rate dece=ined pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof. (2) Calculation of the Number of Capacity Units Being Connected The anticipated use of the sewerage system shall be calculated in terms of capacity units (CU) . The number of capacity units (CU) shall be determined by the following formula: CU X ITE; cYCODc + Z SScTC CODSFH SSSF: where: X The proportion of the total capital costs required to construct an incremental expansion of the sewerage system of the existing configuration for conveyance, treatmen,, and disposal of wastewater which is attributable to I ow, �l 1 Y The proportion of the total capital costs required to construct an incremental expansion of the sewerage system of the existing configuration for conveyance , -treatment, and disposal of wastewater which is attributable to COD, Z The proportion of the total capital costs required to construct an incremental expansion of the sewerage system of the existing configuration for conveyance, treatment, and disposal of wastewater which is attributable to suspended solids , FL SF Average flow of wastewater from a single family home in gallons per day, CODSrg Average loading of COD in the wastewater from a single family home in pounds per day, + SSS—jH = Average loading of suspended solids in the wastewater from a single family home in pounds per day, FLc s Estimated flow of wastewater which will enter the sewerage system via the connection in gallons per day, gad CODc Estimated loading of COD which will enter the sewerage system via the connection in pounds per day, SSc Estimated loading of suspended solids which will enter the sewerage system via the connection is pounds per day, and where FLSr—H, CODSFH, SSSFd, X, Y, and Z shall be determined from time to time by the Chief Engineer in accordance with accepted engineering standards .

The loadings of flow, COD, and suspended solids resulting from the connection of such a facility, for the purpose of calculating the number of capacity units attributable to such a connection, shall equal the loadings based on information contained in the Industrial Wastewater Permit, including the estimated sanitary wastewater loadings . Each full-time employee shall be considered to discharge 15 gallons per day of single family home strength wastewater. The Chief Engineer may, at any time after connection, verify the actual flow, COD, and suspended solids attributable to the new connection. Should a discrepancy exist between measured quanti- ties and the estimated quantities of flow, COD, and suspended solids upon which the connection fee had been based, the owner of the parcel shall, upon written notification, pay to the District the difference beween the connection fee paid and the amount due on the basis of the verified quantities. SECTION 3.03 - CALCULATION OF THE CONNECTION FEE RATE The total capital cost required to construct an incremental expansion of the sewerage system of the existing configuration shall be determined by the Chief Engineer. In addition, he shall calculate the number of capacity units which can be accommodated by the incremental expansion. He shall then divide the former value by the latter value. The resulting value shall be known as the connection fee rate. The Board of Directors of the District shall annually adopt this connection fee rate to be utilized in Section 3.02 (1) hereof. SECTION 3.04 - CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS Connection fee revenue collected pursuant to this Ordinance shall be deposited into a separate account known as the "Capital Improvement Fund. " The Capital Improvement Fund shall be owned and maintained by District . The Capital Improvement Fund shall be used for capital facilities in District and to meet contractual obligations for additional capital facilities.

Lewis, Chief Engineer County Sanitation Districts of Orange County 10844 Ellis Avenue Fountain Valley, California 92708 Dear Mr. Lewis: The yellow cover draft regulations for use of District Sewerage Facilities has been reviewed by Cherry. We find this draft to be acceptable as written. I appreciated the opportunity to serve on the Industrial Ad-Hoc Committee. The exposure of the Industrial Coalition to the problems Vd faced by the County Sanitation Districts were enlightening. The County Sanitation Districts also benefited by exposure to Industry' s concerns. I believe the County made concessions or modifications based on recommendations where it was possible to do so. Overall, Cherry feels the regulation was improved by my participation on the Industrial Ad-Hoc Committee. We have had a very good working relationship with the Districts through the years and expect this to continue. The new regulations reflect the changes dictated by society, therefore, industry must keep pace. Cherry's commitment is to continue to improve their facilities to meet or surpass the limitations imposed by society. Yours very truly, Edward J.
