World Health Organization/US EPA Address Health Risk in Bathing Waters Mamher Charles McGee,%the District's Environmental Sciences Laboratory Supervisor, was AgenpCs invited to participate in a joint World Health Organization (WHO)/US EPA meeting held in Annapolis, Maryland. Thirty invitees from around the world were convened to cities address limitations inherent in established approaches to monitoring and assessment Anaheim of bathing waters. There was unanimous agreement that an improved approach Brea better reflecting health risks and providing an enhanced scope for effective Buena Park management intervention was necessary for bathing waters.

Mitway City Water Districts Irvma Hancn Y21K Testimony to U.S. Senate Special Committee On December 18, 1998, the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) was called upon to testify before the U.S. Senate's Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem. Patrick Miles, OCSD's Director of Information Technology, represented the Association and provided testimony that detailed AMSA member agencies' response to the Y2K problem and highlighted OCSD's Y2K project status. 'To Protect the Public Health and the Environment through Excellence in vc§atewator Systems' Members of the Board of Directors Page 2 January 21, 1999 During his testimony, Patrick addressed the different functions -- such as process control, laboratory, industrial compliance, billing, inventory and maintenance management-- which computers perform for publicly owned treatment works (POTWs), and how the Y2K problem could impact these functions. He also provided the committee members with an assessment of the progress POTWs are making in responding to potential Y2K impacts, describing efforts to both fix Y2K problems through reprogramming, and by developing contingency operation plans as a response for possible Y2K-induced system failures. Patrick's verbal testimony to the committee summarized the information contained in the written text. 'A copy of Patrick's testimony is attached. Feast or Famine An article in the San Jose Mercury News indicates that this year's Sierra snow pack is well below normal. Its a little early to tell for sure, but early indications are that it will be a drier than normal water year. Remember that at this time last year we were receiving record wastewater flows through our treatment plants as a result of the El Nino storms of 97-98. This points out that the Southern California region must be well prepared for both eventualities of severe weather and dry 75° Januarys. Water reclamation, long-term wastewater facilities planning, and groundwater storage become increasingly important to the interests of Orange County—particularly in the light of the vagaries of our weather. Supervisor and Professional Group Negotiations The District has reached impasse with the supervisor and professional group. There are two issues of disagreement. The first is the concept of merit-based pay vs. across-the-board increases. The second issue is the District's firm stance on no retroactive pay increases. The next step in the process will be advisory arbitration which begins on February 1. Marc Reid, the supervisor and professional group negotiator, and management have agreed to have David Hart act as the arbitrator. The arbitrator will render an advisory award after hearing all of the facts. The District may accept or reject that award. Resolution of the impasse is not expected until March. Wheeler Ridge Option Agreement Staff has determined that because of significant environmental issues the agreement to purchase the site should not go forward. Attached is a copy of a January 14, 1999 letter from General Counsel notifying the owner that the agreement is terminated. However, our due diligence efforts have revealed that there are several other sites Members of the Board of Directors Page 3 January 21, 1999 that may be even more desirable for our specific needs. Blake Anderson will update the Board at the January meeting. Sewaoe Spills and Beach Closures A recent Los Angeles Times article (Beach Closures Soared in '98 as El Nino Stones Spread Pollution, January 7, 1999—copy attached) reported that 251 El Nino-induced sewage spills were a major contributor to the 40 Orange County beach closures in 1998. The District had five rain-related sewage spills during this El Nino season, none of which caused a beach closure. However, the District did have one contractor-related spill that resulted in a beach closure. The figures below document the District's recent experience. To minimize the number of spills, the District's maintenance program consists of proactive maintenance to keep the collection system in good operating condition. This effort minimizes the amount of staff time that must be spent to contain, clean up, and notify the appropriate regulatory agencies of sewage spills. When a spill from a District line does occur, staff conducts a "post-mortem" to review internal procedures and consider necessary improvements. For example, last summer's Newport Beach spill lead to improvements in the District's internal procedures for responding to Dig Alen notices (notices from contractors may be excavating near District's subsurface structures). Staff is also working with Dig Alen to propose stricter notification legislation. Staff is participating in a newly formed, interagency beach closure and spill prevention group aimed at developing statewide guidelines for spill prevention, public notification, and beach closure protocols. Members include staff from Orange, Los Angeles, and San Diego counties' Regional Water Boards, Health Care Agencies, and POTWs.

The Cooperative Projects Guidance Committee continues to review proposals received from cities and agencies for funding consideration. Underground Service Alert Revisions On July 21, 1998, a contractor, drilling dewatering wells in conjunction with the construction of a natural gas line in the City of Newport Beach, drilled into one of the District's sewage force mains, resulting in the spill of over 100,000 gallons of raw sewage. The incident, in part, was caused by inaccurate information being transmitted through the Underground Service Alert Program to the District's staff. In response to the incident, the Engineering Department has taken the lead to form a consortium of underground utilities including: Sunset Beach Sanitary District, Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, Southern California Water Company, Underground Technology, Inc., Times-Wamer Cable, and General Telephone to review the current law. The consortium will be proposing revisions to the legislation to require more thorough information be transmitted in the Underground Service Alert notification, and to make the underground contractors more accountable for the information that they provide and the actions that they take. These changes, when implemented, should help to prevent future incidents such as these. 1 Members of the Board of Directors Page 5 January 21, 1999 Agriculture on Biosolids The California Farm Bureau Federation (CFBF) discussed biosolids at its annual conference held in December in Anaheim. The CFBF took a vote urging caution but endorsing the continued use of biosolids for certain restricted applications. Basically, we can live with this position, at the least for the near term. A December 9, 1998 article from The Fresno Bee is attached. (See 'Farmers split on sewage sludge use'.) The SCAP January 1999 Monthly Update also features several articles on the biosolids issue. A copy is attached. Grand Jury Discontinues Study Attached is a copy of a January 4, 1999 letter from the Grand Jury regarding the issue of governmental buildings not being charged for sewer service that is self explanatory. Staff continues to work on this problem. Multi-Agency Benchmarking Study On Friday, January 15, an article appeared in the Metro section of the Los Angeles Times (copy attached). The article discussed the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Study, in which we, along with six other wastewater treatment agencies, compared costs, operational performance and other data. The goal of the study was to enable each of the participating agencies to improve its business practices, reduce costs and, therefore, become more competitive. One of the comparisons was the 1997 cost per million gallons of wastewater treated. Because all the agencies participating in the study calculate overhead differently, we had to agree on a common allocation. According to Mark Esquer, the District's lead in the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Study, our cost per million gallons, as defined by the study, is $605. This includes the operations and maintenance of the treatment plants, administration and overhead, training, laboratory services, and Source Control services that are primarily allocated to Zones (prior Districts) rather than the Joint Operating budget. Additionally, administrative overhead and Engineering services normally charged to Zones were 1 Members of the Board of Directors Page 6 January 21, 1999 allocated into the Multi-Agency figure of$605/MG. The cost does not include offsetting revenues, such as energy sales. It also does not include the cost of operating or maintaining the collections system. The average cost, according to the Benchmarking Study, was $791 per million gallons treated, with costs ranging between $582 and $1,282 per million gallons. As we calculated our Joint Operating (JO) cost per million gallons treated for fiscal 1996-97, the cost was $494. Note that this JO budget cost does not include those items described above and contained within our$605/mg benchmark figure. The Executive Dr'aft of the study's Technical Memorandum was distributed to the seven participating agencies yesterday and a copy is included with this agenda package. Mark will be sharing the complete results of the study with you in the very near future and we will have more information at the January Board meeting. We Have a New Information Video The Communications Department recently completed a new information video as part of our external communications program. The eight-minute tape describes our wastewater treatment operations in non-technical language and was sent to each of our 21-member cities. Huntington Beach and La Habra have already expressed an interest in airing the video on their local cable channels. The video will also be incorporated into our tour program and will be used when we make presentations to community organizations. If you're interested in receiving a copy of the video, please contact Michelle Tuchman, Director of Communications, ext. 7120. Smoke Testing at Plant 2 As part of our odor control program, we conducted smoke testing at Plant 2 on January 12. A smoke machine was used to fill one of our wastewater settling basins with white-colored smoke. The smoke simulated the path of migrant odors, allowing us to see which odor control systems are most effective. The attached flyer, "Where there's SMOKE...there might NOT be fire", was distributed to area residents to inform them of the testing and as another way of reinforcing our commitment to odor containment. ' A , Members of the Board of Directors Page 7 January 21, 1999 Published Articles of Interest I have also included other articles that have appeared in publications on the many issues facing the Distract that might interest you.

McIntyre General Manager DFM:jt X 1WV DT�DNiMDIM IFTTEXS TO ME 9OAFO8 127WDC Attachments AMSA - Y2k Section -AMSA's Testimony Page 1 of 11 amsa AMSA's Testimony l Statement of the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies before the Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem U.S. Senate Field Hearing December 18, 1998 Testimony presented by Patrick B. Miles Director of Information Technology/CIO Orange County Sanitation District Fountain Valley, CA Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies 1000 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 410 Washington, DC 20036 2021833-AMSA Mr. Chairman and members of the Special Committee, I am Patrick Miles, Director of Information Technology/CIO for the Orange County Sanitation District in Fountain Valley, California. I appear before the Special Committee today representing the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA). AMSA is a dynamic coalition of over 200 of the nation's publicly owned wastewater treatment agencies. AMSA members collectively serve the majority of the sewered population in the United States, and treat and reclaim more than 18 billion gallons of wastewater each day. Over the past 28 years, AMSA has maintained a close working relationship with both Congress and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the development of environmental legislation and policymaking. Locally, AMSA member agencies play a major role in their communities, often spearheading watershed management efforts, promoting industrial/household pollution prevention and water conservation, and developing urban stormwater management programs. AMSA members are true environmental practitioners who work daily to ensure the safety and quality of our nation's water supply. AMSA appreciates the opportunity to present the results of a survey of its members on the issue of Year 2000 Technology Problem to the Special Committee. AMSA Year 2000 Survey AMSA conducted a survey of its members to assess the extent to which http://www.amsa-cleanwater.org/y2k/decl8test.htm 12/29/98 AMSA - Y2k Section -AMSA's Testimony Page 2 of 11 wastewater agencies have evaluated the Year 2000 (Y2K) problem, the estimated costs to remedy the problem, the status of implementing solutions, the impacts of potential system failures, and whether plans are in place should systems fail. Seventy-six of AMSA's 206 agencies responded to the June 10, 1998 survey, and 43 responded to the October 2, 1998 follow-up survey. The testimony which follows provides the combined results of AMSA's June and October 1998 survey. Computer Use and Level of Automation Computers, microchips, electronic data logging/analysis, and remote monitoring/control systems are widely used and are critical components in the overall functions of the nation's public wastewater treatment agencies. These systems contribute to varying levels of automation in the industry. While many of the functions within wastewater agencies can be automated or computerized — such as administrative functions (i.e., billing, payroll, finances, etc.), process control operations, or laboratory functions —all these functions can be performed manually, and a significant portion of the industry is not fully automated. Respondents to AMSA's survey indicated an average level of automation of 54 percent. For example, some agencies use automated billing systems, while treatment plants may operate manually. Other agencies have fully automated administrative operations, process operations, and industrial compliance programs, but may not have automated data processing in their laboratory. The survey examines the level of implementation of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems within the AMSA membership. SCADA systems can allow operators to remotely collect operational data, and control operations of pump stations or treatment plant processes from a single location. Among the survey respondents, 88 percent currently implement some form of SCADA system, and nearly 100 percent of respondents indicated future plans to use SCADA systems. It should be noted that although a wastewater treatment agency may use SCADA in some of its processes, this does not necessarily mean that the entire treatment process is automated. For instance, a SCADA system may be used to monitor and collect data from remote pumping stations, however, the SCADA may not monitor treatment plant processes. Nearly 100% of the agencies responding to the recent AMSA survey indicated that computers were used in process control, laboratory, industrial compliance, billing systems, and for other administrative purposes, such as finances, inventory, and maintenance management. A complete listing of responses on the use of computers/microchips in agency functions includes: . Administrative: billing, accounts payable, payroll, human resources, purchasing, telephone systems, assessments, procurement, contract management, capital investment programs, general ledger, office automation, pensions hftp://www.amsa-cleanwater.org/y2k/decl8test.htm 12/29/98 AMSA - Y2k Section -AMSA's Testimony Page 3 of 11 .

Other., interactive voice response, Internet, energy management, telephones, security, radio, elevators, fire alarms. Assessment and Action A vast majority of AMSA survey respondents (90 percent) have developed a plan to assess and address the Y2K problem. Many of these assessments are very formal processes which are either initiated under a comprehensive local government assessment or as part of the agency's overall planning processes (it should be noted that 50 percent of the AMSA membership are agencies which operate under the jurisdiction of a local city or county government, while another 50 percent of AMSA members operate as regional districts). A little more than half of the agencies are addressing (or intending to address) the problem in-house, while the remainder are using consultants or a combination of in-house staff and consultants. Costs The costs to address the Y21K problem vary widely for survey respondents. Forty-five percent of the wastewater agencies which reported estimated costs indicated that the cost to address the Y21K problem was relatively minimal, ranging from 0 to $100,000, while 15 percent reported estimated costs in excess of $1,000,000, with the two highest reported values being $15,000,000. Most of the agencies reporting expenditures in excess of$1,000,000 were relatively large systems, however 17 percent of these were agencies serving populations less than 250,000. In general, most agencies reported total estimated costs to fix the Y2K problem between 0 to 2 percent of annual operation costs. Four agencies reported estimated costs to fix the Y21K problem over 10 percent of annual operation costs. The average annual budget for an agency serving one million people is approximately $125,000,000. Progress in Implementing Solutions Implementation of solutions to the Y21K problem varies widely, though most http://www.amsa-cleanwater.org/y2k/decl8test.htm 12/29/98 AMSA - Y2k Section -AMSA's Testimony Page 4 of 11 responding agencies have made some progress. Approximately 95 percent have begun to implement solutions to the Y2K problem, while 26 percent are complete or nearly complete. To address the Y2K problem, many agencies are systematically checking and upgrading systems which are not Y21K compliant. Figure 1 illustrates a timeline of responding AMSA POTW Y2K efforts. As illustrated in the graph, a majority of the agencies will have completed the awareness, inventory, and assessment phases of Y2K conversion by January 1, 1999. Responding agencies are poised to focus Y2K efforts on repair, testing, contingency planning, and implementation in 1999 and most have plans to implement Y2K ready systems by January 1, 2000.

Embedded microchips present a special challenge to the Y2K issue as they are pervasive in a range of systems and equipment including: meter readers, programmable logic controllers, security systems, elevators, alarms, etc. Responding agencies are testing these systems and receiving assurances from vendors that these systems are Y2K compliant. As the graph illustrates, a majority of the responding agencies are still in the assessment phase for each type of system, while many have completed embedded chip assessments, and are currently implementing remediation efforts, especially for mission critical systems such as plant process and remote process operations.

A breakdown by agency function follows: Administration - Computers are used throughout the administrative functions of a wastewater treatment agency. Billing, payroll, human resources, and many other functions depend on accurate computerized record-keeping and reporting. Potential failures in billing systems are the most troublesome to agencies responding to the survey. Should systems fail in the event of a Y2K problem, nearly all agencies indicated that delays in billing would result in serious cash flow interruptions. These interruptions in cash flow are unlikely to directly affect operations, as many agencies have cash reserves on hand, or may be able to negotiate with vendors to extend bill due dates, however, such a failure is likely to have major impact on the administrative functions of the agency. Some agencies reported that they have backup contingencies should there be a failure in automated billing. Process Control-All responding agencies with automated process controls have the ability to switch to manual operations almost immediately or within hours in the event of a Year 2000 failure. Approximately 15 percent of AMSA agencies reported potential treatment plant problems and possible compliance issues as a result of switching to manual mode. Potential additional costs would be incurred with the addition of staff or the payment of overtime. One of the biggest concerns in this situation is that collection system and plant operational data would not be immediately accessible for the operators, and whether this would lead to sewage backups, overflows, or compliance problems. However, most agencies reported that switching to manual mode would pose no, or very minor, problems as many automated operations run in parallel with "manual" instrumentation and control. For instance, a wastewater treatment plant may use programmable logic controllers (PLCs) within its treatment operations to control valves or pump operations based on flow or pressure readings. In normal operations, the data from these controllers would be relayed http://www.amsa-cleanwater.org/y2k/decl Btest.htm 12/29/98 AMSA- Y2k Section - AMSA's Testimony Page 7 of 11 readings. In normal operations, the data from these controllers would be relayed to an operator's computer control screen, and the PLCs would automatically activate valves or pumps accordingly. Should one or more PLCs malfunction, an operator would no longer receive data via the computer control screen and would have to "manually" read flow meters or pressure gauges. The operator also could not rely on the PLCs to automatically activate appropriate valves or pumps, and would thus have to "manually" adjust these controls. One potential catastrophic failure issue which was noted and which is beyond the control of the wastewater agency is the occurrence of a major regional electrical power failure. There are a wide-range of capabilities in terms of operating treatment plants in the absence of a electrical power. During a recent meeting with the electric power industry trade groups, power industry officials indicated a "cautious optimism" regarding their industry's ability to meet the Y2K challenge by January 1, 2000. The groups referenced a recently released report titled, "Preparing the Electric Power Systems of North America for Transition to the Year 2000-A Status Report and Work Piano which was submitted to the Department of Energy on September 17, 1998 (available at htfnl/www.nerc.com). In the report, officials indicated that any power outages that occur due to Y2K issues are likely to be localized and short-term (i.e. hours or days), and that the chance of a widespread power grid failure is basically zero. Localized and short-term power outages will not produce widespread treatment plant disruption as most facilities have dual power feeds from differing electrical sub-stations as backup, and/or have reserve capacity within the treatment and collection system to store flows until power is restored. In the extreme case of a regional, long-term electrical power failure, 37 percent of the responding agencies indicated that all treatment plants under their control could operate indefinitely throughout the power outage. Most of these facilities would use diesel, methane, or natural gas powered generators, though fuel availability would clearly be an issue. Some plants could operate generators with methane produced from on-site solids digestion processes. Another 28 percent of the agencies indicated that their plants could operate at partial capacity, or that some, but not all of the plants under their control could operate fully. Remote pumping stations may also be affected by a regional, long-term power failure. While, 70 percent of responding agencies would be able to operate their remote pumping stations in the case of a long-term electrical power failure using diesel generators, other agencies would have to rely on mobile generators, or in-line and off-line storage capacity to contain any flows that could not be pumped to the treatment plant. Laboratory-Should laboratory systems fail, the issue would be whether agency laboratories could adequately and accurately analyze sample results, and report compliance problems adequately to regulatory and public health agencies. Some agencies can operate in manual mode, while others indicated that out- sourcing of lab functions could be implemented. Industrial Compliance Programs- Should industrial compliance systems fail, the wastewater treatment agency would not be able to adequately monitor industrial http://www.amsacleanwater.org/y2k/decl8test.htm 12/29/98 AMSA- Y2k Section -AMSA's Testimony Page 8 of 11 wastewater treatment agency would not be able to adequately monitor industrial , customer compliance, which could result in undetected high strength discharges leading to treatment plant upsets, delays in issuing permits, and noncompliance with federal regulatory pretreatment requirements. Plan of Action Nearly 55 percent of the agencies have plan of action should all or a portion of their computer systems fail as a result of the Y2K problem. As noted in Figure 1, all respondents plan to address the issue of contingency plans by January 1, 2000. Contingency plans will discuss issues concerning: 1) how manual operation should be initiated in the case of system failures; 2) chemical and fuel supply needs; 3) coordination with other local entities; 4) manpower needs; and, 5) correction of system failures. One Agency's Story The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is the third largest wastewater treatment facility west of the Mississippi River and exists solely to provide wastewater treatment services to its customers in Orange County, California. The District's highest priority is protecting the public health and environment through excellence in wastewater systems. OCSD's major Year 2000 Program goal is to have all internal process and permit compliance systems Year 2000-Ready by September 1999. To ensure progress and to make policy decisions expeditiously, the District has formed a Y2K Steering Committee consisting of a senior person from each department within the District. The Assistant General Manager and the Director of Information Technology chair the Y2K Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is responsible for achieving the following Y2K project objectives, in priority order: 1. PUMP WATER INTO AND OUT OF THE PLANTS Ensure personnel safety systems are functional and meet Occupational Safety & Health Act requirements. Keep wastewater flowing into the treatment plants and through the 120" outfall. 2. TREAT WASTEWATER TO PERMIT LEVELS Achieve full compliance with discharge quality requirements 3. ENSURE FULL PERMIT COMPLIANCE Maintain full compliance with all other terms and conditions of permits issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), EPA, and Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). http://www.amsa-cleanwater.org/y2k/decl8test.htm 12/29/98 AMSA - Y2k Section -AMSA's Testimony Page 9 of 11 4. MAINTAIN DISTRICT BUSINESS PROCESSES Ensure compliance for non-process related systems including the Financial Information System, desktop computing systems, security systems, and other systems. In support of Objective#1, the District has prepared a risk analysis plan for plant process systems classed by their importance to overall operation. Critical systems include influent pumping, outfall pumping, electrical generation, instrument air, and water systems. Additionally, the District intends to research, correct (if required), and test all embedded systems which may affect Objectives #1 and #2. Objective#3 involves an effort to ensure that required laboratory and field testing continues and that operating requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Air Quality Management District not directly related to ocean discharge quality requirements are also met. Objective#4 involves the effort to ensure that the District's normal business processes continue with minimal disruption. The following five-step process is being applied uniformly across OCSD to ensure the successful completion of the four project objectives: 1. Awareness and Evaluation 2. Assessment of Hardware and Software and Associated Risk of Failure 3. Correction of Problems or Work Around Plans Developed for Problems Discovered in Assessment 4. Testing of the Corrective Action or Work Around Plan 5. Deployment of the Tested Software/Hardware on Live Systems OCSD has made significant progress in evaluating the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System. Initial examination of these process control systems has not found any non-compliance issues. The District has evaluated its complete inventory of approximately 20,000 embedded electrical and instrumentation devices for possible problems. Through this process, the District has identified approximately 3,200 devices that may have a Y2K compliance problem. The District is currently in the process of assessing each of these devices to determine if corrective action is required. Some of the laboratory equipment will not function properly without upgrades or replacement. The District is actively working with its vendors for an appropriate solution. The District's laboratory has completed an inventory of equipment with potential problems and is progressing with a detailed assessment of each item. OCSD's non-process control systems, HVAC, elevators, security systems, telephones, etc. are also being evaluated for compliance. The District has http://www.amsa-cleanwater.org/y2k/decl8test.htm 12/29/98 AMSA- Y2k Section -AMSA's Testimony Page 10 of 11 completed an initial assessment of this equipment and have found some minor , problems. The District's schedule anticipates addressing all these problems well before January 2000. Externally, the most visible events include the temporary loss of critical utility service, electricity, natural gas, city water, industrial water, and process chemicals. As a result, a third party is in the process of providing OCSD with an independent risk assessment that will include not only risks associated with internal failures but also risks associated with external failures. The third party will also assist OCSD with additional contingency plans that will extend the already comprehensive Integrated Emergency Response Plan ("IERP"). OCSD's customary live tests of the emergency procedures will be conducted in the second half of 1999 and will include scenarios made more probable by the millennium change. Further, simple steps such as lopping off plant chemicals and diesel tanks, scheduling extra staff, and managing vacation schedules will be low cost and very beneficial in responding to potential challenges. The District realizes that no program can foresee all possible difficulties, but progress is being made to ensure that its processes continue to perform as expected. Conclusion Based on the results of the AMSA survey and follow-up discussions with wastewater treatment agency staff, it can be concluded that the large segment of wastewater industry represented by AMSA's membership will respond effectively to the challenges presented by the Y21K problem. However, a significant portion of work will need to be completed prior to January 1, 2000. Remediation, testing, implementation, and contingency planning should be high priorities in 1999. While treatment plants have become more and more automated over the past ten years, many treatment plants still operate fully manually, and even automated plants can be reverted back to manual mode in a matter of a few minutes or hours depending upon the complexity of the system and manpower availability. Some problems are bound to occur, and may involve either or both internal system problems or external factors that are beyond the control of a public wastewater treatment agency; however, careful program management and proper contingency planning should minimize the impacts of these problems on public health and the environment. In the area of enforcement, AMSA members continue to be concerned with their potential liability after January 1, 2000 for noncompliance based on factors that are beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a policy on November 10, 1998 on Y2K enforcement issues which lays the groundwork for waiving all civil penalties and recommending against criminal prosecution for environmental violations that may arise from testing Y2K-related malfunctions. AMSA understands that the liability relief in the policy would effectively end on February 1, 2000, implying that EPA will commence with full enforcement of its civil and criminal penalty provisions. AMSA is concerned that following February 1, 2000, members may http://www.amsa-cleanwater.org/y2k/deci8test.htm 12/29/98 AMSA - Y2k Section - AMSNs Testimony Pagel 1 of 11 provisions. AMSA is concerned that following February 1, 2000, members may be inappropriately exposed to numerous enforcement actions arising from violations that are beyond their control. While we are encouraged that EPA is proactively addressing enforcement issues, it is currently unclear how the enforcement policy will affect AMSA members. EPA should be strongly encouraged to take a flexible approach towards enforcement for any wastewater treatment agencies experiencing Y2K-related problems beyond February 1, 2000. This is an important issue that should be addressed and we suggest strongly that the enforcement policy warrants Congressional oversight as it proceeds. On behalf of AMSA, thank you for this opportunity to testify on Y2K readiness. This brings my testimony to a close. I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

By DAY/D REYES, Times Staff Wmer ollution generated by fierce El Nifto storms prompted RELATED12 officials to close Orange County beaches 40 times in "'SECTIONS. 1998,marking the worst year for coastal water quality in more than a decade. NEWS BY County officials blamed the high number of closures on COMMUNITY heavy winter and spring rainfall,which caused havoc for waste-water systems and sent millions of gallons of raw SPORTS sewage flowing into the ocean.The county Health Care PREP SPORTS Agency recorded 251 sewage spills in 1998, up from 226 in 1997. BUSINESS Parts of nearly all beaches along the county's 42-mile coastline were closed because of pollutants last year. LIFE&SINE South County beaches were the hardest hit when a pipeline CALENDAR broke in February and sent 3 million gallons of waste-water down San Juan Creek and into the Pacific Ocean. Portions of CALENDAR Doheny State Beach and beaches as far south as San Clemente WEEKEND were closed for more than three months. HOME DESIGN In March,a pipeline operated by the East Valley Water District in San Bernardino failed, sending an estimated 21 COMMENTARY million gallons of sewage through Prado Dam and down the Santa Ana River. Beaches from Brookhmst Street in T.V.TIMES Huntington Beach south to 51st Street in Newport Beach closed for 10 days. The beach closure figures alarmed coastal water quality advocates,who warned that increased development,combined with the public's habit of washing used oil,antifreeze,yard ADVERTISEMENT debris and the like down storm drains,threaten county beaches. M-RRIMIRM "We all wish that Orange County's coastline is pristine," XYIUniTrrtitr said Pierce Flynn, Surfrider Foundation executive director. J Alliance' "We all want the tourist from the Midwest to think it's pristine. http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/0RANGE/OCNEWS/t000001704.html 1/7/99 ndaua i,wswcn ouwcu w >o w ci rvnw owuna oprdau ruuuuun ugc �� But if they're seeing'beach closed' signs at Doherty, Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach, that reality changes the image." There were 15 beach closures in Orange County in 1992, i seven in 1993, and 17 in 1994. There were 22 closures in 1995 wheel and • . and 1996,and 20 in 1997. Flynn cautioned against blaming EI Nifto,a severe weather phenomenon. He said El Nino could be used as a "smoke AUCTION�; screen" for antiquated sewage pipes and other weak infrastructures in the county's water and sanitation districts. "We know that the septic tanks and sewage lines from the toilet to the plant are leaking and breaking," said Flynn, "and we have a chance now to be either proactive or reactive,and reactive is just not going to cut it." John Robertus from the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, which oversees water and sanitation districts in Orange County,said the county's agencies "were very responsive" in reporting spills and taking appropriate action. "The agencies were very responsive to the board's cleanup and abatement orders," Robertus said. "As part of our enforcement action,the water agencies are given a time schedule to correct what happened so it doesn't happen again. And they must fix the environment. But because the spills went out into the ocean and there were heavy rains at the time,the ocean was already impacted." When spills are reported,the county posts signs warning swimmers away. Usually,the county closes a beach area for 72 hours after it finds bacteria levels above the allowable standard, officials said. The area is reopened after tests confine the bacteria level is safe for people. At times, Flynn said, surfers complained of sore throats, earaches and flu-like symptoms after surfing new storm drains. It was unclear what impact, if any, the closures had on the county's tourist industry. "These closures were mostly during the winter months, and you don't have a lot of tourists at the beaches," said Diane Baker,president of the Huntington Beach Conference and Visitors Bureau. "Those visitors are jogging along the trails and enjoying the view but not exactly going into that water because it's very cold." rat Water Woes Poor water quality forced Orange County beaches to close 40 times last year, twice as often as in 1997. Most of the closures,resulting from spills totaling more than 25 million gallons of sewage,were due to line breaks and blockages: Closures 1992: 15 1993: 7 1994: 17 1995: 22 1996: 22 1997: 20 1998: 40 http://www.latimes.com/HOMEINEWS/0RANGE/OCNEWS/t000001704.html 1/7199 neacn uusures auareu in ra w ct rvtnu awnus �Preaa ruuuuuu 1998 Causes Line breaks, blockages: 23* Sewer system back flow: 6 Measurement closure: 5** Pump failure: 4 Other: 3 * Includes line washouts ** Closure ordered when routine measurement shows water quality is substandard; cause may be unknown Note: One closure had two causes Source: Orange County Health Care Agency, Environmental Health Division Coovright 1999 Los Angeles Times.All Rights Reserved b Search the archives of the Los Angeles Times for similar stories about: BEACHES--ORANGE COUNTY OCEAN POLLUTION 1998 YEAR PUBLIC HEALTH,SEWAGE SPILLS.

The Sanitary District is in full support of these programs and urges the Sanitation District to continue staffing these committees since they will play an ever increasing role in the future of sewer service in Orange County. A brief list of the programs and services provided by OCSD that reflect this commitment is as follows: • Spill Response seminar and manual • Cooperative Projects Program-M Reduction • Storm Water inflow metering • Grit Disposal Program • Eventual Consideration of Grease Interceptor regulations • Upcoming Trenchless Technologies seminar • Data gathering and compilation of member agency infrastructure and programs • Odor Control studies and eventual dissemination of information • Consideration of OCSD assistance in cleaning large diameter sewers • OCSD Staffmeetings with counterparts from L.A. County and San Diego County to exchange information Programs that involve data gathering,research,testing,and reporting will prevent member agencies from overlapping their efforts. Most local agencies are run very lean and do not have the budget or manpower to continually search the horizon for better solutions. As technology advances, more time is needed to evaluate new approaches and solutions, and the results of these investigations will be an important tool in guiding the decision makers. The Sanitary District also realizes that OCSD has very large projects such as the Groundwater Replenishment System that take Considerable time and effort,which makes the commitment to the smaller programs that much more difficult.

Many of us remember the publicity surrounding Ventura County: the Washington State farmer who claimed that biosolids Mark Norris, City of Oxnard, Member caused his cattle to die. And though the subsequent lawsuit Mark Moise, City of Oxnard, Alternate the farmer filed was dismissed (it seems that the farmer was having financial problems and fed his cattle bad feed), a lot of damage was done to agriculture's, and the public's, perception of biosolids. The agreeable state of affairs that exists today in the northwest is almost solely due to the work of the Northwest Biosolids Management Association. The NBMA is a coalition of 205 wastewater agencies and private companies from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia and Alaska. In addition to participating in the development of regulations (Washington State has a general biosolids permit program), they have conducted research and sponsored public information campaigns aimed at educating farmers and the general public about the documented benefits of biosolids reuse. They have developed an equipment sharing network, a continuing education program, and in one of the most significant efforts, they have assisted in developing disposal sites that can be used by any agency. In fact, in Boulder Park, Washington, there exists a 40,000 acre site, with 100 owners wanting CLASS B biosolids—yes, you read that right, Class B. Like the NBMA, the Biosolids Recyclers of Southern California (BRSC)was formed to educate the public about biosolids reuse and to conduct cooperative research projects with academia to produce the scientific documentation to support the expanded use of biosolids.

While we have not ironed out all of the details involved in this proposed merger, Staff has strongly supported this effort and has brought it to the SCAP Board of Directors for their input, and hopefully, their ratification. We do have substantive issues to discuss, such as membership and fee structures, but I am confident that these can be resolved—if and only if—there is a compelling belief amongst our membership that this is a necessary and vital part of SCAP's mission. As i mentioned at the beginning of this article, SCAP was formed primarily to address regulatory inequities and injustice. And while there are still significant regulatory issues to be hammered out, it is the agricultural community—and by logical extension, the public—who are now providing the unlevel field. We have a nation that believes that its drinking water supplies are unsafe; that on any given day [pick one] coffee, chocolate, beef or apples will give you cancer or cure you of it; and that biosolids is just a fancy name given to toxics laden sewage sludge. And while we all generate it, there is no advocacy group for biosolids besides POTWs. It is my belief that now is the time for SCAP to expand the breadth of its operations and provide the public with information about this rich, valuable resource before we lose it because of untruths, half-truths and fear. Tell me what you think.

Cheney and O'Connor on the lack of risk. Mr. Yanko gave an outstanding presentation on the methods used by POTWs to reduce pathogen levels in biosolids, so much so, that Dr. Atwell spoke more about his concerns regarding pathogens from the use of cattle manure.' At the end of the meeting, Ronald Talbot, the Laboratory Director of the Kenn County Health Department summed up the information presented by stating that it was obvious that there was no scientific controversy about biosolids use—the issue was about money, not science. The Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) has similar concerns and has injected itself into this issue. Siting the attempts to disregard the science and substance behind biosolids use, WSPA suggested that the BOAC is too polarized and too large to develop a consensus for the ordinance, and supported the appointment of a smaller, focused group to develop the final ordinance. A group was subsequently appointed: David Price, Kem County Resource Management Agency; Steve Schuett, Assistant County Counsel; Jim Stahl, LACSD; Bill Tracy, a farmer advocating biosolids use; Jeff Green, a carrot grower, Edwin Camp, a farmer opposed to biosolids, and Steve Arrita, WSPA. On December 18, the focus group met with Jeff Green of the carrot growers still pressing for inclusion in the ordinance of his nine requirements for biosolids use including: ♦ Bonding requirements of$1,000 per ton of SCAP Welcomes New Water Committee Chair biosolids applied (for the City of LA alone that would mean $300 million per year).

Jeff Green also objected to WSPA's participation. WSPA voiced concerns about the bonding requirements, fees on trucks and the fad that the ordinance wouldn't be based upon sound scientific fads. Nothing was finalized that day. The next scheduled meeting of the focus group is January 11. The next regular meeting of the Monthly Update 4 January, 1999 Kern Board of Supervisors is January 12 at which time they must extend the emergency interim ordinance that want into effect on September 1. As of today, we are expecting that David Price will recommend that the interim ordinance be extended through January 12, 2000. The emergency ordinance will expire at the end of this proposed extension. Stay tuned.

Ken Bums Monthly Update 5 January, 1999 Litigation Supplement(Confidential) Background—At their September meeting, the Board directed SCAP staff to further Investigate the problems related to two Issues: 1)a lawsuit filed by Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District against the State Water Resources Control Board,the Central Valley and San Francisco RWQCB's challenging how they assembled and adopted their 303(d) lists and 2) the Notice of Intent(NOI)to Sue the EPA that was filed by Heal the Bay and the Santa Monica Baykeeper environmental organizations that has culminated In closed negotiations being conducted regarding Total Maximum Daily Load(fMDL) development for Impaired [303(d)) waters. Hereafter,we will refer to the first lawsuit as the"Sacto lawsuit"and the second as the"Heal the Bay lawsuit." As part of their Investigation, staff met twice with representatives from Heal the Bay/Baykeeper and the National Resources Defense Council(NRDC is acting as legal counsel to the other organizations)to explore common ground and ask for a seat at the negotiating table with EPA. While interesting discussions were held, neither organization was In favor of our participation. At about the same time as these discussions were being held, CASA filed a motion to intervene in the Sacto lawsuit, and to file an NOI to sue EPA in the Heal the Bay lawsuit. Staff reported back to the Board via a memorandum that was circulated in November, and telephonically discussed Its contents with each Member. A critical element in the timing of the memo and the conversations was that, due to legal time constraints, a decision was required prior to Thanksgiving. In the memo, staff recommended that we join with CASA to Intervene in both lawsuits—that Is, participate jointly with CASA in becoming a party to the lawsuits; the Board ratified that recommendation. SCAP is now working with CASA's attorney, Colin Lenard of the Los Angeles firm of Fulbright&Jaworskl and a litigation task force that Includes several SCAP members(LACSD, Montecito Sanitary District and Orange County Sanitation District). Current Status—In the Sacto lawsuit,the Attorney General's office(the AG represents the State &Regional Boards) has agreed to allow CASA/SCAP's intervention. A motion has been filed with the court and a decision is pending by the Judge; we have no reason to think R will be denied. Again, the Issue in this lawsuit is: Did the SWRCB and its RWQCB's violate federal and state regulations in how they determined which water bodies are impaired? If a court finds that they did, these agencies would have to go back and conduct a much more extensive study of water bodies than they have done. In the Heal the Bay lawsuit, on December 1, 1998 an NOI to sue EPA was jointly filed by CASA/SCAP. There is a 60 day period that must elapse before a lawsuit can be filed. During that period,and even afterward, negotiations can take place to avoid a lawsuit Another important development is that the enviro organizations filed their lawsuit in mid-December, apparently In order to be able to make the settlement they are trying to negotiate more enforceable. This, however,opens them up to our intervention efforts,similar to the Sacto lawsuit,where we become party to the lawsuit—they are very opposed to this idea. The Issue in this case Is: Can EPA negotiate how trey will determine TMDLs, and the schedule upon which they will do this, without talking with affected parties, such as POTWs, who could see their discharge limits seriously affeded by the TMDLs? If a court find that affected parties must be allowed to participate, POTWs, and others holding NPDES permits, will be allowed a say in this important subject. Funding—The issue of funding was a subject of Intense discussion at the December Board Meeting. CASA originally allocated$75,000 for legal fees to initially fund both lawsuit efforts. SCAP has agreed to seek voluntary contributions from members to fund one-third to one-half of that total ($25,000 to $37,500). There is the possibility that the Bay Area Dischargers Association (BADA) may participate,which could further reduce the cost. Several Board Members asked that an estimate be developed of what the costs would be should both lawsuits go through to a full trial. Discussion was also held on how the funds for these costs would be sought from member agencies. A special meeting will be held on January 15 at LACSD to resolve these issues. w > a c U U z O LU m .......u.b..• a .u....o.u....•..,a.n.a.wcaawuw nexalCLL rage i ot .4 rc ryes co i e n ex oe X" Friday, January 15, 1999 Valley Edition Section: Metro Page: B-4 L.A. Sewer Fees Below Average, Study Shows; Sanitation: Agency has taken heat for wasteful spending. Co-funded by Public Works Department, report fuels debate.; By: PATRICK MCGREEVY TIMES STAFF WRITER Hoping to blunt charges that Los Angeles sewer fees are excessive, the city issued a long-awaited study Thursday indicating it spends less to treat sewage than the average for public agencies. But the study, co-funded by the Los Angeles Public Works Department, only fueled the debate over the perception that the agency is not operating efficiently, which critics believe has led to overcharging. Los Angeles spends less, on the average, for maintenance and operation, but more on administration, a fact attributed to the city's large bureaucracy, according to the study. Sanitation Bureau director Judith Wilson said the multi-agency study shows some areas where costs can be cut, but should answer critics who allege wasteful or uncontrolled spending. "I'm hoping they will realize we're doing a good job of controlling our maintenance and operations costs," Wilson said. "We're below average, but we also have the most stringent permits of any agency in the study, so we do more with less." Los Angeles spends $697.22 to treat 1 million gallons of sewage,compared with an average of$791 for the other agencies studied. They are Oakland, Sacramento, Orange County, Contra Costa County, Portland and King County, Wash. The Orange County Sanitation District spends $605 per million gallons of treated sewage, while other agencies ranged from $582 to $1,282, the study said. Wilson said the study shows that cost-cutting moves are working and ratepayers should be confident that they are not being overcharged. But City Councilman Joel Wachs renewed his calls for a management audit of the agency, which he believes will show$30 million or more can be saved. "You can't tell me there isn't room for dramatic savings," Wachs said. Such an audit would compare the city with agencies nationwide, including private treatment operations, not just local public ones, because the private sector often does a betterjob, Wachs said. httpJ/www.latimes.com/archives/doe/rArchive/temp/temp.12592 1/19/99 "It's then, when you do that kind of comparison, that you identify areas for dramatic savings," Wachs said. Also unconvinced was Richard Fine, an attorney representing more than 100 residents who filed a class action lawsuit claiming the sewer fees are excessive. Fine's lawsuit charged that the sewer fund is sitting on a$20-million surplus, even after giving $60 million away in recent years to the city general fund in the form of a franchise fee for running pipes under city streets. "We aren't satisfied," he said. "They are charging [ratepayers]more than it costs to do the work." In particular, Fine said it was "outrageous" that 42%of the cost of treating sewage goes to administration. The average for the seven public utilities was 34%.

In 1950, he was employed by the Orange T.V.TIMES County Flood Control District, first as a civil engineer and, from 1955 to 1974,as the agency's chief engineer and operating manager. During those years he was instrumental in the passage of a $42.6-million bond issue that was to become the seed money to ADVERTISEMENT build the county's now-elaborate system of dams, basins, channels,storm drains and water conservation facilities for flood control. He also played a pivotal role in the early planning and News authorization for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to explore http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ORANGE/t000004264.htmi 1/15/99 v.r..s water Saar sites, was rat rtsutuuon rage c sir , flood-control measures along the Santa Ana River basin,a r study that eventually led to the$1.2-billion project that now fors the backbone of the flood-control systems in Orange, 4 Riverside and San Bernardino counties. In 1974,the Orange County Board of Supervisors appointed Osborne as the first executive director of its newly formed VISA Environmental Protection Agency. The building housing the agency's headquarters in Santa Ana was later named in his honor. Osborne retired from government service in 1980 to become a consultant and later to serve on the water district's Board of Directors. "He was a very bright and insightful man with a good sense of history," fellow board member John Fonley said. "His knowledge has come in very handy from time to time because not all events have always been written down." Phil Anthony, another board member and friend for 25 years,described Osborne as an encyclopedia of experience and knowledge. "He was a soft-spoken man of few words but well known for his wisdom," Anthony said. "He was a very intelligent man. He didn't say a lot, but when he spoke people usually paid attention." He was also a man of considerable humor. In 1992,when the county's environmental headquarters in Santa Ana's Hutton Towers was renamed the H. George Osborne Building,the former water czar—who county officials called simply HGO—had a characteristic response. "I was numb,but I was honored" he said. "I did ask if this would mean a free parking pass." Osborne is survived by his wife, Dorothy; daughter Georgia Stone; six grandchildren; and two sisters, Marion Findley and Dorothy Cole. Funeral services are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Fullertons First United Methodist Church. The family asks that,in lieu of flowers,donations be made to the Assn. of the California Institute of Technology.

Regional water-quality officials knew about the leak but didn't feel it was serious enough to alert the public. Other spills, leaks and toxic sites on the base have a far higher priority, base officials said, including a plume of hydrocarbons that has expanded off base property and beneath the Woodbridge community in Irvine. Still, news of the leak raised questions among environmental activists and others concerned about the legacy of underground pollution that will be left behind when the Marines close the base in July and turn it over to civilians. "That's a lot of jet fuel," said Bob Caustin, a water- quality activist in Newport Beach. "The question is, did they get it all? Does it flow downhill and into the http://www.ocregister.comfarchives/1999/01/13/science/leakOl 3w3.shtml 1/14/99 (Upper Newport) Bay, and also into our water supply?" Most of the jet fuel has been removed and recycled, said Lt. Adrienne Dewey, spokeswoman for the base. Monitoring wells 300 feet deep show no indication that the fuel is sinking deeper. In fact, there is so little left that pumps and extraction equipment became ineffective after the last major fuel removal from November 1997 to September 1998, totaling 1,800 gallons. A "bailer" system now siphons the remaining fuel from the top of the ground water. "We don't know how much leaked," Dewey said, because no one knows how long the pipe had been leaking when it was discovered in 1988. "We really don't know how much'is left. Because there's less and less through fuel removal, it indicates the amount left is minimal." Cleanup crews removed 11,600 gallons of the kerosene-based fuel gradually over seven years in an operation that ended only four months ago. The leak, described in interviews and in documents obtained by The Orange County Register, was repaired in the late 1980s, and no fiuther jet fuel is leaking into the site, which goes by the name "tank 398" and is near the control tower. The kerosene-based jet fuel, known as JPS, is similar to gasoline, said toxicologist Dan Stralka of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is processed from crude oil and contains carcinogenic benzene, and possibly other carcinogens, depending on the formula used, he said. The fuel also floats on water, a characteristic that simplified cleanup operations. Some of the fuel could dissolve in water, Stralka said, and it would neither bind tightly to soil particles nor bypass them quickly, moving moderately through soil in much the same way as gasoline. Greg Hurley, co-chairman of the base Restoration http://www.ocregister.com/archives/1999/01/13/science/leak013w3.shtml 1/14/99 . . , ._ ___. -"'•._r ........... Advisory Board, a citizens group that monitors cleanup of the base, said he knew about the leak at tank 398 but believed it was being handled properly by the military. "That's a 5,000-acre base," Hurley said. "There are a lot of other things to lose sleep over long before you start worrying about tank 398." Far more troublesome, Hurley said, are heavy metals or nitrates leaching into ground water beneath the base from sites scattered across it. Although the shallow ground water is not used for drinking now, he said, the day might come when, as the county population grows, water supplies become so tight that water agencies will begin processing shallow ground water for human use. "Eventually, we are going to need to use that resource," he said. ne.eWcm in ege umy. m . .fie ..

January 3, 1999 Eb'tb^' By DAVID PARRISH The Orange County Register For more than five decades, Henry Akers has been operating a one-man shop, upholstering chairs and restoring furniture using hammers, saws and other time-honored tools. But a government edict and a changing world have now coerced the 69-year-old craftsman into using a newer type of tool — a computer. Starting Tuesday, Akers and about 20,000 others who bid on county government contracts will need a computer, or at least access to one. Orange County is only the second county in the state to go to an online procurement system, requiring vendors to register at a county Internet site (www.oc.ca.gov) and then submit their bids via E- mail, said Mike Kolodisner, director of county purchasing. San Diego County was the first to use on- line procurement. Akins, who bids on contracts to repair courthouse furniture, said he wanted to continue seeking county jobs, so he went out and purchased a computer that should arrive at his Re-Store Furniture shop in Santa Ana this week. "I just never needed one before," Akins said. 'But I got a deal from a friend who builds them. It costs $550, and its got a monitor, a laser printer, a http://www.ocmgister.com/politics/bid003w.shtml 1/4/99 t-ounry to require omme uiaamg rage w keyboard and that computer thing where they put all the chips." So far, Kolodisner said, Akins has been the only vendor who said he didn't have a computer. "Vendors tell us it will reduce their cost by not having to drive around to the county," he said. The county's online procurement system has met with the approval of Tustin architect Richard Rengel, who is redesigning the interior of an unused county building for use by the Public Defender's Office. "It's easier than before, when you would have to get a bunch of paperwork and then mail it in and never really know if someone got it," Rengel said. "You'd have to stand in line at county offices; now you can just do it while sitting at your desk." Making the procurement process easier by going online should pay off for the county as well, Kolodisner said. When companies register on-line, they will indicate the type of business they are interested in, and then when similar contracts come up, an E-mail message will be sent to them. "This will save us a lot of money in not mailing out solicitation bids," Kolodisner said. "We think this will increase our responses and we will get more competitive bids." The online purchasing replaces a paper system that required companies to pick up paperwork at a county office. Each bid was then sealed in an envelope and mailed or hand-delivered back to the county. At a specified time the envelopes would be opened and the results posted—with the lowest qualified bidder winning the contract. Companies worldwide will now be able to see what goods and services the county is seeking and be able to participate in the bidding. To ensure the integrity of the system, each vendor will have a secret password, allowing bids to be submitted confidentially. "People will not be able to get into the system and see http://www.ocregister.com/politicstbid003w.shtml 1/4/99 trounry to regwm uwtn: otauwg r:1gc w others'responses," Kolodisner said. Because of the complexity of some contracts, the county will continue to require a limited number of bids to be mailed in over the next several months as new procedures are worked out, he said. —71 newspaper in Orange County,Callhanui, Cgryright 01996-1999 Tire Grange County Register Phase send mmmams b Poreauderti6nk.keeEam.com http://wv ,.ocregister.com/politicsfbid003w.shiml 1/4/99 Orange County Sanitation Districts Newspaper Clippings Name of Paper Section Page# Date Subject I Orange County Register FOUNTAIN VALLEY The dry has finished drilling a new water well in the north- east corner of Mile Square Park.Development will con- tinue on the$1.2 million pro- ject,which was financed by a low-cost loan from the Orange County Water Dis. trict-The IS percent inter- est rate for the 2O-year loan will keep the city's water rate among the lowest in the county,according to Mayor John Collins.

Some will also go toward a children's shelter.

SO CAL LIVING Even with the early payoff,the county still has one huge bankruptcy debt remaining: $750 million borrowed in 1996 to CALENDAR pay off county bondholders, a move that allowed the county to emerge from bankruptcy. CALENDAR That debt is costing the county $62 million a year, paid WEEKEND through a variety of sources including park fees, redevelopment HOME DESIGN proceeds and landfill revenues. "The people who think the county has recovered should COMMENTARY look at the debt we still have and the needs that we have," T.V.TIMES county Chief Financial Officer Gary Burton said. "This is not going to be over for many years to come." Board of Supervisors Chairman Jim Silva said the county is withstanding the temptation to use some bankruptcy litigation proceeds for new programs and services, deciding instead to ADVERTISEMENT make debt repayment a top priority. "It's important for our long-term financial health,and it's Mimportant in restoring Wall Street's confidence in our ability to make prudent economic decisions," Silva said. . But others were saddened that the most vulnerable county http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ORANGE/t000116955.html 12/23/98 U.U. 10 Maxe Uem In tsanxruptcy uem ragc . m _ residents--the poor, the sick and the elderly--won't get more of _ the proceeds from the bankruptcy litigation. "It's really a shame because the needs are greater than they've ever been, especially for health care. And there's a dearth of affordable housing," said Jean Forbath, founder of Share Our Selves, a social-services organization based in Costa ,., Mesa. Forbath pointed out that the county is spending millions to repair aging buildings neglected during the bankruptcy but has refused to significantly increase spending on health and social services. "They talk about deferred maintenance [on buildings], but what about deferred maintenance on human beings?" she said. In May, the board approved a five-year strategic financial plan that predicts income and expenditures and establishes priorities for high-priced needs like constructing new buildings and earmarking money to operate them. Supervisors last week agreed to expand the county's system for sheltering abused and neglected children. The board approved $45 million in spending over the next five years for construction of a second Orangewood Children's Home at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, renovating the Los Pinos Honor Farm, expanding Juvenile Hall and building a resource center run by the Probation Department for teenagers encountering their first brushes with the law. An additional $32 million was earmarked for a new South County courthouse, and $38 million was set aside to start paying for deferred maintenance on county buildings and facilities. Burton estimated that the county must find $98 million in the next seven years to replace decades-old roofs, air- conditioning and heating systems,and indoor fire-sprinkler systems that languished unattended during the county's fiscal crisis. Burton said he hopes to know within the next six moths the details of a state settlement with the tobacco industry that should yield the county $33 million a year. Forbath said she'll urge supervisors to use the tobacco money on health-care needs, including boosting funds for the county's community clinics for low-income residents.

Appaloosa contends that Merrill Lynch handed the county government crucial information that gave it the upper hand in talks with Appaloosa. The tangled story begins in November 1995 when the county's bankruptcy attorneys were preparing a list of creditors. They knew that Merrill Lynch owned a $64 million county note. They publicly vowed that the county never would pay Merrill, which the county then was suing for$2 billion. So Merrill sold the note to Appaloosa. The sale price was $48 million, a 25 percent discount. Anticipating that the county would refuse to pay Appaloosa, Merrill Lynch agreed to pay interest plus 62.5 percent of legal bills Appaloosa incurred pursuing the claim. Merrill Lynch settled with the county for$420 million in June. To help settle the case, the suit contends, Merrill gave the county confidential information about the 1995 agreement with http://w .ocregister.com/business/ocsue022w-.shtmi 12/22/98 t,ourl memii Lyncn names in conuswn suit rage < ui < Appaloosa: Merrill would stop paying the firm's legal bills if Appaloosa rejected a county offer exceeding $54.8 million. Using that information, Appaloosa contended, Merrill and the county "whipsawed Appaloosa" into accepting $58 million for its note —$10 million more than Appaloosa had paid Merrill but $6 million less than the note's face value. Appaloosa is seeking $11.3 million from Merrill for breach of contract. "The lawsuit has no merit," Merrill Lynch spokesman Bill Halldin said.

The two exceptions are: (1) the Fuji Securities payment was made directly by wire transfer to the Litigation Representative's litigation account on December 3, 1998, and (2) KPMG Peat Marwick will escrow its settlement payment (with accrued interest) when the District Court issues an order (and prior to any appeals) barring claims for contribution and indemnity against KPMG Peat Marwick. The Representative has also received Litigation Proceeds from other sources. As a result of other claims or settlements, the Representative has received (or will soon receive) the payments set forth in the fpllowing table. Date Received by Source Amount Representative Transfer of money received $27,671,252 December 29, 1997 by County as a result of District Attorney's settlement of potential claims by People of California against Merrill Lynch Amount obtained in settling $17,400,000 Not yet transferred to larger taxable note claim Representative, but interest against County by is accruing Appaloosa Investment Limited Partnership I Recovery on clain: rala*_+.g $1,060,000 January 7, 199' to County's taxable notes Recovery on County's $1,000,000 June 30, 1997 fidelity bond Recovery to County as class $912,284 March 11, 1998 member in litigation against Overland Express for claims relating to money market fund Total $48,043,536 2nrems. a All Members of the Orange County Official Investment Pool Participants' Distribution List January 7, 1999 Page 4 Each of the settling defendants (other than Fuji) made their settlement conditional on obtaining an order of the United States District Court: (1) finding that the pertinent settlement is in good faith pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure sections 877 and 877.6 (a "Good Faith Finding"), and (2) barring future claims against the pertinent settling defendant by nonsettling defendants or tolled parties (a 'Bar Order"). Moreover, each settling defendant, other than Fuji, insisted that the foregoing District Court order withstand any appeals that are taken prior to any distribution of the settlement proceeds. Beginning in June 1998, the County filed a series of motions seeking the required District Court orders with regard to the first $703 million in settlements.' The nonsettling defendants filed six briefs opposing the motions. Among the issues raised was whether the settlements should be analyzed under California law or under federal law. In addition, the nonsettling defendants took issue with the Representative on the application of both California law and federal law to the settlements. On November 23, 1998, the District Court (Judge Taylor) conducted a hearing on the settlement motions. On November 30, 1998, Judge Taylor issued an order providing: • If state law is applicable the settlements were entered into in good faith. • No separate good faith determination is necessary under federal law. • That a committee of ten lawyers, representing the Representative, the settling defendants and the nonsettling defendants, be formed to meet with the Court to farther discuss particulars of the application of California and/or federal law to the settlements before the court. 2 This included the Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, KPMG Peat Marwick, CS First Boston, Nomura Securities International, LeBocuf Lamb Greene & MacRae and Bear Stearns settlements. The County intends to seek approval of settlements reached in November 1998 and December 1998 after the District Court issues its order on the pending motions for good faith settlement determination. 21MM. All Members of the Orange County Official Investment Pool Participants' Distribution List January 7, 1999 Page 5 In other words, Judge Taylor made the Good Faith Findings, but he did not grant the required Bar Orders. The parties have agreed on the composition of the ten person committee. It will consist of Mike Hennigan and Jim Mercer for the Representative, counsel for four of the settling defendants, counsel for Standard & Poor's, counsel for Kidder Peabody, counsel for Lehman Brothers and counsel for BA Securities. The Court has not yet scheduled the meeting, but has icdicated that a scheduling order :dll be issued shortly. It is expected that Judge Taylor will issue the Bar Orders after he resolves the still pending questions concerning the application of California and/or federal law to the settlements. A. Appellate Approval Of The Settlements Each settlement agreement provides that the settlements are not final until the conclusion of appeals, if any, of the Bar Order -- including any petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. The Representative and the settling defendants have asked Judge Taylor to enter a Bar Order that is immediately appealable. If the Court grants that request, the nonsettling defendants have 30 days after the date of the Court's order to file an appeal. If the Bar Orders are appealed, the Representative will seek expedited treatment of the appeals based on the significant public interest in distributing the settlement proceeds to Pool Participants and the County as quickly as possible. The Ninth Circuit's latest statistics reflect that the duration of an appeal can be as short as six months and as long as three years. The average length of the appellate process is approximately 18 months. Further appeal to the Supreme Court could consume additional time. During any appeaL(including appeals to the Supreme Co'_ut) the aenlement proceeds cannot be distributed, but will continue to accrue interest for subsequent distribution. H. STATUS OF PENDING CASES A. Standard & Poor's The District Court has set the case against McGraw Hill, Inc. d/b/a Standard & Poor's for trial on March 2, 1999. Among other things, the Representative alleges that Standard & Poor's breached its contract with the County in rating the County's indebtedness and that Standard & Poor's was negligent in providing ratings to the County in 1993 and 1994. The damage claim against Standard & Poor's is in excess of$2 billion. rresera. All Members of the Orange County Official Investment Pool Participants' Distribution List January 7, 1999 Page 6 B. Fuji Securities On October 22, 1998, Judge Taylor granted Fuji's motion for summary judgment with respect to the claims that certain reverse repurchase agreements were unauthorized under California law. The Representative has asked the District Court to enter a judgment based on this ruling so that the Representative can appeal it. The District Court has determined that this judgment shall be entered no earlier than January 11, 1999, in order to consider coordination with a pending motion in th^ County's case against other trokers. The appellate court will review Judge Taylor's order in the Fuji case de novo, meaning that the Court of Appeals can substitute its judgment for Judge Taylor's order if it disagrees with any aspect of Judge Taylor's order. The.Representative believes that there are grounds for disagreeing with Judge Taylor's order. Subsequent to the October 22 Summary Judgment decision, settlement discussions between the Representative and Fuji led to a partial settlement agreement, dated December 3, 1998. The Representative and Fuji agreed to settle certain claims relating to Fuji's liquidation of the County's reverse repurchase collateral after the chapter 9 filing. Pursuant to the partial settlement agreement, Fuji made an immediate payment of$7.9 million to the Representative and the Representative agreed that Fuji will not be obligated to pay more than an additional $8.6 million with respect to the remaining claims against Fuji. C. Remaining Broker Defendants The Representative has two suits pending against other broker-dealers. In one action, the Representative is proceeding against Cantor, Fitzgerald Securities Corp., Citibank, N.A., Citicorp Securities, Inc., Daiwa Securities America, Inc., Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp., DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc., Kidder, Peabody & Co., Lehman Brothers International (Europe), Le:unar. Capital Corp:, Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc., Lehman Brothers, Inc., PaineWebber, Inc., PaineWebber Real Estate Securities, Inc., Prudential Securities, Inc., Sanwa Securities (USA) Co., L.P., and Smith Barney, Inc. In a second action, the Representative is proceeding against BA Securities, Inc. The complaints allege that the defendants facilitated the investment program of the County's former Treasurer in their reverse repurchase transactions with the County and/or by selling to the County certain securities which violate restrictions in borrowing and investment activities by municipalities. The complaints also allege improper liquidation of certain collateral securities of the County during the bankruptcy case. n2Wu . All Members of the Orange County Official Investment Pool Participants' Distribution List January 7, 1999 Page 7 The broker defendants have filed a motion requesting the District Court enter an order similar to the Fuji summary judgment in their actions. The Representative's opposition to this motion was filed on December 28, 1998 and a hearing on this matter is set for January 11, 1999. D. The Option B Litigation A recent event it, the "Option B" litigation (-ethnically known a-. City of Atascadero v. Merrill Lynch) may prove significant in the Representative's remaining cases. In early December, a California Court of Appeal determined that the "Option B's" separate litigation against Merrill Lynch could proceed. The decision determined that certain claims for aiding-and-abetting breach of fiduciary duty could potentially be asserted against third parties (such as broker-dealers and other professionals) who assisted former Treasurer Citron in his speculative scheme. The Representative had asserted substantially similar claims against Standard & Poor's and Fuji, but these claims were dismissed by the Bankruptcy Court (in the S&P case) and the District Court (in the Fuji case). It appears that the conclusion in the Court of Appeal's decision is inconsistent with these Courts' earlier rulings in the Representative's cases. The Representative filed a motion for reconsideration in the Fuji and S&P cases on December 18, 1998. The hearing will be set for January 25, 1999. We will continue to monitor the status of these litigation matters. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Earlier this month, the stale Court of Appeal here handed a major victory to the Killer Bs—so known because they chase "Option B,"retaining the right to Ole their own lawsuits rather than jam Orange Comity's action against Merrill Lynch and other Wall Street firms associated with the Comity's 1994 bankruptcy. A Ihreemember panel unanimously Concluded that a Contra Costa County Su- perior Court Judge -erred- in granting Merrill Lynch's moron to dismiss a 1995 suit filed by the 14 California cities and Public agencies—which together bad a loss of about 5200 million in the Investment Pool. Merrill Lynch had argued—and the Superior Court judge agreed—that only the pool's operator, Orange County. and not the Investors themselves had a right to we for damages. In a 46-page opinion for the appellate panel, however. Justice William McGui- - ness found that the Option B group Could "proceed directly against third parties such as Merrill Lynch"—and that they had nor surrendered to Orange County their rights to recover.

CIOS: We're Not Going to be Ready for Y2K SAN DIEGO--More than two-thirds of the 330 technology executives polled at a CIO conference recently believe the Y2K problem will not be solved before the dock strikes midnight at the turn of the century. Other results of the survey: "73 percent said the Y2K problem has the potential to cause a U.S. economic slowdown. "More than 50 percent believe the U.S.government should create a disaster recovery fund and an emergency management agency for Y2K planning and response. 80 percent of respondents plan to document their financial records to minimize Y2K impacts on their personal lives. "Flying on commercial airplanes is a top concem, with 60 percent of respondents saying that they will not fly on Jan. 1, 2000. "Almost half(48 percent) of respondents plan to cut off suppliers who are not Y2K compliant. "35 percent plan to freeze software upgrades or application development projects between now and the year 2000. "55 percent have either set aside cash reserves for potential Y2K litigation and product recalls or are planning to set aside reserves for those purposes.

Bob Bennett, R-Utah, is calling for a Y21K first-alert system that would give U.S. officials up to 23 hours advance warning of problems occurring Jan. 1, 2000. Because the new millennium will begin at a spot in the middle of the Pacific Ocean 17 time zones earlier than Eastern Standard Time, officials in the United States can observe how the dawn of the new century affects systems in countries in earlier time zones. The new millennium won't creep over the east coast until 17 hours after Jan. 1,2000, begins in Wellington, New Zealand. On the west coast, the new century will begin another three hours later, and in Hawaii,the new year will begin three hours after that. "My colleagues and I feel it is absolutely foolish not to use this advance notice for the good of the nation,"said Bennett in a statement released Oct. 2. "Wouldn't it be useful to know that utility and transportation problems are likely to occur, based on information we received as a result of our Y2K First Alert System, before everyone is already out and about celebrating on New Years Eve?" Bennett said the Senate Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem is prepared to introduce legislation that would implement the Y2K early warning system. "We look forward to working in partnership with Federal Emergency Management Agency within the context of its existing authority to achieve this goal,"he added. Thanks, Patrick B.

The Year 2000 problem arises in computers systems that record only the last two digits of a year, raising the possibility they could mistake the year 2000 for 1900, for example. The glitch could confuse computers and microchips embedded in machines, causing them to spit out bad data or not work http://cnnfn.com/digitaijam/wires/9901/04/y2k_wg/ 1/5/99 U.S. firms lag in Y21K readiness - Jan. 4, 1999 Page 2 of 3 at all. With Year 2000 errors putting profits at risk, industry consultants report companies doubling or tripling spending to ensure key systems are Y21K compliant and insulated from outside failures. 'The fundamental cost of Y2K is the risk of business interruption;' said Jeff Ray, a vice president at Comouware Coro. (CPWR), a leading software testing company. Companies have still not done most of the tedious and costly work to fix Year 2000 computer bugs. "it appears that over half the work will be crammed into 1999,"said Steven Hock, chief executive of research company Triaxsys Research LLC. Of the 500 largest U.S. companies, 70 percent have been reporting in Securities and Exchange Commission filings on their progress with the Y2K bug. As of the end of September, those companies had spent 42 percent of their year 2000 budgets, according to a report by Triaxsys. At that rate, the Missoula, Mont., company estimates many companies will fall short of fixing all their computers and machines by the Year 2000. As companies realize they and their partners may not achieve full compliance, they are planning back-up systems and looking for alternate vendors. Coca-Cola Co. (KO) has contingency plans for the failure of power, water and phone systems. They include stockpiling raw and packaged materials, increasing inventory levels and securing alternate supply sources. McDonald's and DuPont are developing plans to handle problems that may arise if a number of vendors do not fix their computer bugs. While some companies devise contingency plans, others are still wrestling with modifications to their own systems. The technologically complex telecommunications sector ranks dead last among all other industries in progress toward completion of Y2K projects, according to Triaxsys. Also behind are the utilities industry and the energy sector. http://cnnfn.com/digitaljamlwiresl9901/04/y2k_wg/ 1/5/99 U.S. firms lag in Y2K readiness - Jan. 4, 1999 Page 3 of 3 Industries leading the race are banking, securities and insurance, all of which began looking at Y2K up to 10 years ago largely because of regulatory requirements. Most telecom companies began looking at the issue only two to three years ago. Chevron has said it will not fix all its systems by Dec. 31, and Year 2000 business interruptions could prevent it from making and delivering refined products and producing oil and gas. AT&T has acknowledged the potential for failure across its systems and has cranked up Year 2000 spending by more than 50 percent. While disclosing such problems in SEC filings may protect them from lawsuits, it won't keep the business running if the computers operated by the companies and their vendors don't work. "You can't announce to your shareholders that you went out of business because of a vendor ... but you're going to sue," Ray said. home I digital m I contents I searc I stock guotes I helo Copyright 1998 Reuters.

Monday, December2b, 1998 Report on Sewage Spill Cleanup Efforts Expected From Associaled Press ■NCLINE VILLAGE,Nev:-Regional and federal regulators are awaiting a report on the handling of a Dec. 17 sewage spill at this North Lake Tahoe community. An undetermined amount of sewage spilled into the Sierra ADVERTISEMENT lake known for its clear blue waters after a pipeline on Shoreline Circle broke. The Incline Village General Improvement District must r present evidence to both the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and Environmental Protection Agency showing it properly handled the spill. "It's very serious. Any sewer spill is serious especially when it's right on the shoreline," said Steve Chilton, chief of Tahoe agency's environmental compliance division. Roger Eggenburg, director of utilities, said the district is unsure how much sewage spilled because of uncertainty over A when the line broke. But he estimates no more than 2,000 • gallons were released. District crews were called after a building contractor at an adjacent property spotted the discharge. Crews found wastewater coming from the pipe under a rock shoreline stabilization wall and contained the spill a short time later. Cleanup efforts were completed the next day. The line failure was caused by the shifting of large rocks that crushed a 12-foot-long section of pipe. Although the spill was one of the worst in recent years, Eggenburg said, it poses no immediate health risk except to people swimming next to the pipe.

"It's like seeing a castle," Gomez declares. ADVERTISEMENT It is not a castle. It is a sewage treatment plant. But for ® Gomez and thousands of other long-suffering denizens of the Tijuana River Valley and Imperial Beach just north of the Mexican border, it just might be salvation. The plant,which has raised the ire of some environmentalists, will treat 25 million gallons of raw sewage from Tijuana daily when it fully cranks up in coming weeks with the completion of a giant ocean outlet. Many see the L� system as a solution to the region's most stubborn cross-border conundrum: raw sewage that overwhelms Tijuana's rickety system and flows north into the United States through the Tijuana River or down canyons across the international divide. Financed by U.S. federal dollars with some Mexican help, it is the first plant situated in the United States to treat sewage that comes exclusively from south of the border. It confronts a long-running problem that grew chronic as Tijuana's population exploded in the past 20 years. The plant, located 300 feet inside the United States,will be run by U.S. officials of the joint International Boundary and Water Commission and coincide with a flurry of planned improvements to Tijuana's overtaxed sewer network. The treatment center and ocean outlet--combined cost so far, $400 million--are hailed by federal officials from the two countries as a triumph of international cooperation and a model for border zones elsewhere. But the biggest changes are expected in the communities just north of Tijuana, where the runaway sewage is so basic a fact of life that the Imperial Beach Chamber of Commerce is as likely to field inquiries about beach contamination as about hotel rooms. Decades of spills have befouled postcard-pretty wetlands, cast a broad stench over subdivisions. cropland and horse farms and spawned a political movement that came to include suburban families. farmers and congressmen. In working-class Imperial Beach, where 164 days of closed beaches this year shooed away tourists and surfers and afflicted waterfront businesses, leaders now dream of a civic flowering in the post-sewage era. No more barbs from out-of--town colleagues. No longer will feel-good events, such as the http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/STATE/t000117067.httpl 12/23/98 U.S. Plant to begin 1 resting 10uana Sewage ragc :u. J signature sandcastle contest, be hostage to what might wash up on the beach. Many predict a rush on long undervalued seaside property. "There's no single factor," said former Mayor Michael Bixler, "that has held our city back over the years as this has." Still,more conflict probably awaits. Environmental groups oppose discharging through the ocean outfall,a giant undersea pipe built by San Diego and extending 3.5 miles offshore,until the effluent is treated to a greater degree of cleanliness.The U.S. government plans additional processing, called secondary treatment,probably by building ponds next to the plant. But that method has sparked anger among residents on both sides of the border that they will be punished anew by foul odors and a proliferation of mosquitoes. Opinion is divided over an alternative proposal by a private firm to build the ponds in nmal Tijuana instead and then sell the recycled water to Mexican industry. Winter Storms Will Still Pose Problem Even officials and nearby residents thrilled to see the plant open concede that the sewer improvements are powerless in the face of winter storms that in a flash can turn the Tijuana River into a roiling,waste-ladenjuggemaut. "Every winter will be the same," said Gomez, who summoned neighbors, later called Citizens Revolting Against Pollution, in 1990 after becoming fed up with the stink of human waste wafting across the otherwise bucolic valley. "This is a dry-weather solution." The problem it aims to solve is a function of topography, demographics and simple math. Tijuana,ribbed with steep canyons feeding into the Tijuana River, sits about 90 feet uphill from southern San Diego County,where the waterway wends through wild scrub, farmland and a major estuary before emptying into the Pacific Ocean at Imperial Beach. Tijuana's galloping population growth--some estimates far exceed the official count of 1.3 million—has outpaced the government's ability to build water and sanitation lines. About a third of the city lacks sewers. In outlying areas rapidly being settled,nearly two-thirds of residents rely on outhouses, according to a survey by researchers at the College of the Northern Border in Tijuana. Those factors,plus a fast-growing industry of foreign- owned maquiladora plants, add up to a huge strain on the city's sewers,which suffer frequent clogs,breakdowns and spills. The math: Tijuana generates about 40 million gallons of sewage a day, while its main treatment plant south of the city can handle only about 17 million gallons. Another 13 million is routinely piped north for treatment in a Point Loma plant that also handles San Diego waste. The rest pours into the Mexican surf untreated--at times swept by tides north to Imperial Beach--or escapes along the way to end up in the Tijuana River.The river, lined in concrete until shortly after crossing the U.S. border,can become a putrid broth thinned only by fresh water leaking from Tijuana's reservoir upriver.All told, anywhere from 1 million to 5 million gallons can make its way into the United States each http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/STATE/t000117067.html 12/23/98 u.a. rtant to negm r mating t t3 uana Jewage Page i or 3 day. The worst overflows onto the U.S.side have reached 30 million gallons. North of the border,the spills have stirred resentment over the years among residents and moved local and state officials to declare states of emergency repeatedly. Rep. Brian Bilbray, an Imperial Beach Republican,etched his way into local lore years ago when,as mayor of that city,he commandeered a skip loader to dam the sewage flow.Residents on the U.S. side packed local meetings to express health concerns and politicians echoed their dismay.But small victories count: The cities of Imperial Beach and San Diego lent crews and specially equipped trucks to Tijuana this fall and succeeded in clearing clogs that had sent spills northward. "It's been a serious and continuing cross-border environmental issue and one of the most persistent we've seen in this area,"said Paul Ganster,who directs the Institute for Regional Studies of the Californias at San Diego State University. "It's been so obvious and had such clear and obvious impacts on the U.S. side of the border." Other Steps Planned in Tijuana -The international plant is the grandest attempt to harness cross-border sewage since the 1930s,when the then-tiny burgs of Tijuana and San Ysidro shared a septic tank on the U.S. side. Mexico later built its own system to carry sewage to the ocean and,under the auspices of the boundary commission, opened its main plant about four miles south of the border in 1987. The international plant was proposed in response to Mexican plans to build an additional facility in Tijuana that U.S. officials worried could send more sewage into the Tijuana River and inundate the saltwater estuary downstream with treated water. Mexico agreed to sign on to the international plant instead,pledging the amount it would have spent to build its own,about$17 million. Interim remedies have been inadequate. Since 1991, San Diego has accepted up to 13 million gallons of sewage diverted daily from the river in Tijuana and piped to a San Diego plant in Point Loma. The arrangement,while reducing waste downstream,didn't come close to filling the gap in Tijuana's system. The boundary commission also has installed collectors at the bases of several canyons to capture so-called "renegade" sewage flows. The 25 million gallons that the new plant will take from Tijuana's central system will ease the load significantly, officials say.And an expansion of the Tijuana plant and concoction of four small treatment facilities around the city during the next four years should accommodate all of the sewage,said Sara Leal,spokeswoman for the Baja California state agency that provides drinking water and sanitation services in Tijuana Officials also plan to build a big backup sewer line to prevent spills and to upgrade the city's main pump station. "This is not only a San Diego project," said Arturo Herrera Solis,commissioner for the Mexican section of the boundary and water commission. "By taking part in such projects,we've had to tend to our own infrasWcture that the people of Tijuana demand. . . . Were going to have fewer international http://www.latimes.comtHOMFJNEWSISTATFh000117067.hhW 12/23/98 U.b. Plant to uegtn r reattng 1 puana bewage rage + of D problems." The new plant,beset by years of construction delays and legal challenges, is hardly assured a quiet start-up. It has repeatedly failed toxicity checks since opening on a limited, test basis early last year. Operators haven't pinpointed the cause,but suspect the presence of high concentrations of detergents. Officials say the planned secondary pond treatment should clear the problem,though any additional processing is at least two years away. Meantime, at least one environmental group,the Surfrider Foundation, is considering trying to block the ocean discharges on legal grounds.The organization worries that undersea terrain,currents and wind will push the effluent back ashore. Others are concerned about the levels of toxic metals from Tijuana's factories. Some activists say the long-term answer lies in removing dangerous chemicals at the factory sources and in shoring up sewer lines south of the border. San Diego officials have been helping counterparts in Tijuana carry out a new program for keeping metals and other industrial pollutants out of the sewers and for inspecting factories. "You could invest a fraction of what we've spent on the treatment plant on infrastructure [in Tijuana] and you'd see a huge improvement on the beaches," said Lori Saldana of the Sierra Club's San Diego chapter. Changes will be measured in various ways from the point where the Tijuana River crosses the border west of the San Ysidro port of entry to the sea six miles downstream. Equestrians hope no longer to fear for their horses while fording the waterway in the popular riding area. Biologists are curious to see how birds and plants in the vast Tijuana River National Estuarine Sanctuary respond after decades of sewage and runoff have subtly altered the mix of life there. And in Imperial Beach, a city of 28,000,officials hope to snap out of what they call a self-esteem crisis. A$15-million spruce-up—including a new plaza and archway at the foot of the 35-year-old wooden pier--is underway along the beach,where property goes for about half the price of that in neighboring seaside communities. Those who have mastered the complex lexicon of sewage contamination look forward to crafting a more flattering definition for their 1950s-style beach town. It has not been the city's only border problem in recent years. Locals have noticed the calming effects of a border crackdown that in four years has reduced to almost zero a tide of undocumented immigrants who disrupted residential life as they scurried through backyards and alleys on their way north. "Getting rid of the illegal immigrant problem, now the sewage—the next 10 years in the life of Imperial Beach are going to be very different," said Lorie Bragg,executive director of the Imperial Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. "You'll really see a change." • . r http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/STATE/t000117067.htm1 12/23/98 U.S. Plant to begin 1 resting 1 quart sewage Page 3 of z, Cross-Border Cleanup An international waste water treatment plant will process up to 25 million gallons of sewage piped daily from Tijuana's overtaxed system.

By TONY PERRY, FRANK CLI ORD, Times Staff Writers IsAS VEGAS--It was a day of good news and bad news for California as Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt on Thursday assessed his attempts to end California's seemingly endless water wars in a speech to 1,000-plus water ADVERTISEMENT officials from seven states that depend on the Colorado River for survival. OEven as he announced a "peace accord" between two R feuding water agencies in Southern California whose bitter dispute has threatened the entire state's water future, he revealed that the 4-year-old struggle to find a solution to equally complex and important water and environmental issues Looking fora in the Sacramento River-San Joaquin Delta has come up short. new or used Babbitt announced that the Imperial Irrigation District and 7 the Coachella Valley Water District have agreed on major issues that have been points of contention between the two neighbors since 1934. Although several key points remain, Babbitt was confident that the two agencies can reach agreement in the next six months, with his office acting as a goad. "I am not going away, I'm going to continue the pressure," said Babbitt, who has threatened to reduce the amount of water California takes from the Colorado River unless the state learns to be more efficient and, in effect, do more with less. Although little known to the public,the Imperial-Coachella feud is classic in water circles and, given the domino effect of water issues, could block the historic water transfer between Imperial and San Diego. That transfer has been praised by Babbitt and Gov. Pete Wilson as the linchpin of the slate's ability to have sufficient water in coming decades by reallocating water from water-rich farm areas to thirsty coastal communities. "I am very impressed that Imperial and Coachella have at last discovered their fraternal bonds." said Babbitt. He called their newfound cooperative spirit "a minor miracle." But no such familial warmth has yet been achieved in the negotiations between water agencies, agricultural interests and environmentalists in solving the problems of the delta. The delta and the Northern California rivers that feed it make up the state's largest watershed, a 61,000-square-mile http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ASECTION/t000115530.htm1 12/18/98 t wirer war Nearty Vver,r3aoont Jays Yage L of 4 t system that provides water for 22 million Californians. It also is the principal irrigation source for the state's $24-billion-a- year agricultural industry, while supporting one of the richest ecosystems on the continent with close to 1,000 plant and animal species. Babbitt had hoped fervently to join Wilson on Friday to announce an agreement under the joint federal and state project called Calfed that would lay out a final blueprint for a 30-year project to ensure the equitable distribution of water from the delta to agriculture, growing urban areas from San Francisco south and to the environment of the delta. The idea is to serve the needs of a big and growing state, simultaneously improving water quality and keeping enough volume in the delta to repair an ecosystem so starved for water in the past it has been in danger of collapse. It was a dream deal promised with great fanfare in 1995 when Babbitt and Wilson brought the "stakeholders" together, put the Called bureaucracy at their disposal and invited them to come up with a formula that would end an escalating water war between environmentalists,agribusiness and urban water agencies. Instead of announcing the end of the war Thursday,Babbitt called the parties "intransigent" and said they are not yet to the point of signing an agreement "and I'm not sure we ever will be." Babbitt has spent considerable time in Sacramento attempting to broker a Called compromise. By their own admission,the environmentalists were the spoilers. They would not sign on to an approach they thought all but committed taxpayers to an old-fashioned,multibillion-dollar public works project that might well guarantee sufficient supply to agricultural interests and metropolitan areas but would require diversions potentially harmful to fisheries and the delta ecosystem. Moreover,critics of the plan argued that Calfed was relving on inflated forecasts of water demand while overlooking the water savings achievable through conservation,recycling,new irrigation technology,ground water banking and water marketing. Touting the performance of low-flush toilets, horizontal axis washing machines,drip irrigation and water pricing formulas that discourage profligacy, Peter Gleick of the Pacific Institute, a Bay Area think tank,said that Calfed and the state's Department of Water Resources grossly underestimated potential water savings. "DWR estimates that in 2020 the shortfall between supply and demand will be 2.4 million acre-feet. We think the errors in their analysis show far more than 2.4 million in potential water savings." Activist Criticizes Officials' Reasoning Gary Bobker,one of the environmental holdouts in the Calfed process, said the impasse could be explained by one word: "storage." "There is an engineering logic to the idea that you can build a lot more flexibility into the system if you can bank more water in more pots," said Bobker,a policy analyst with the Bay Institute. "What is not proven is whether you can http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ASECTION/t000115530.html 12/18/98 l Water War hearty ever,navolu Jays rdge J ut y take more water out of the system and bank it without doing ' harm to the environment." Lester Snow, who directs the Calfed process,disagrees. "1 think it's fair to say conservation alone won't do it," he said,adding that even if more reservoirs are built,there will be no net gain in such facilities. "After we are done, fewer streams will be blocked by dams. We have tom one down already,and we have identified four or five more to take down." Bobker and other environmentalists readily acknowledge that environmental gains have been made. "I think there are a lot of areas in the Calfed process where amazing progress has been accomplished," he said. Close to a billion dollars has been committed to ecological restoration including rehabilitation of marshes and wetlands, replanting of riverside forests,the construction of fish ladders to help migrating salmon and the installation of fish screens to prevent fish from being drawn into irrigation canals. The turmoil in the southeast comer of the state, meanwhile, dates to 1934, when the federal government was taming the Colorado River to transform the area from a forbidding and unprofitable desert into a land of homes, farms and economic growth. In a nutshell,Coachella feels it got cheated in the allocation of Colorado River water and the feeling has been festering for six decades. Unless it gets more water from the Colorado River, Coachella has threatened to sue to block the San Diego- Imperial Irrigation District deal. The agreement announced Thursday includes more water for Coachella and a concession by imperial to agree to a cap on the amount it draws from the Colorado River. But issues involving timing and cost remain;the negotiations also include the mighty Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, water wholesaler to 16 million people in six counties. Before MWD will agree to pay for$50 million or more of storage facilities to keep Coachella happy, it wants assurances of more Colorado River water through new rules for the operation of Lake Mead,the system's main reservoir. That will take agreement from the six other Colorado River-dependent states,which look upon California with suspicion and annoyance. "There are seven sovereign states on the river,not one sovereign state and six lesser partners," said Patricia Mulroy, general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority. "California needs to remember that." Still, Mulroy and other officials sent a letter to Babbitt expressing interest in changing the Lake Mead rules to aid M WD as long as their states also profit.Negotiations may began as early as next week.

Editorial: Sludge does run uphill to Kern Page 1 of 3 'I�.IQfi�la � Well Beat Any Deal On What We Sell Yr �J ...OR IT'S FREE! news Mr ilUkcr,1ngb iCaktonnan Editorial: Sludge does run uphill to Kern Filed: December 17. 1998 The Bakenfirld Californian Los Angeles tr umph has become Kern County's headache. Last week, the city of Los Angeles celebrated its triumph over Santa Monica Bay pollution. After nearly three decades of court battling, squabbling with environmental activists and investment of$1 billion,the city announced it is no longer dumping its sewage into the ocean. The city's huge Hyperion sewage treatment plant is finally meeting federal pollution standards set 26 years ago. The urban region that had turned one of its popular playgrounds into its toilet bowl now proudly boasts that it has solved the problem by shipping the sewage that once contaminated the bay to farm land - mostly in Kern County. Defying the principles of physics, Los Angeles and other participating Southern California communities have proven that effluent CAN run uphill - or in this case, over the Tehachapi Mountains. The use of treated waste water to irrigate and fertilize non-food crops is not new. Cities, such as Bakersfield, have been doing this for years to dispose of municipal sewage. It is estimated that about 10,000 tons a year of locally generated sludge is spread on Kern County farm land each year. But a relatively new wrinkle is the importation and spreading of out-of- county sludge in Kern -to the tune of about 1 million tons a year. The scope of this activity went relatively unnoticed until county officials complained about the wear and tear on local roads caused by trucks hauling waste from Southern California to farm land. The attention resulted in the Kern County Board of Supervisors passing an urgency ordinance this fall that established county oversight of the dumping and requiring farmers to prove they were using the material as fertilizer, rather than simply operating disposal plants. These rules will expire next month, when an advisory committee returns with a permanent bnn ip,�,.o h,t P. F,qd �....,4.dr 4-_1'+nc�m t 1 t . 1„1 a me I Editorial: Sludge does run uphill to Kern Page 2 of 3 regulatory proposal. Producers of food crops, such as carrots, were also slow to take notice. They now are pressing supervisors to ban the operation. Some of the county's top growers are warning spreading of sludge threatens the area's agricultural industry. Dueling scientists have both praised and condemned use of human and industrial waste to fertilize crops. Contaminants seeping into ground water and left in the soil are cited as concerns. Opponents also note that many of the major U.S. food processors, as well as international buyers are refusing to buy vegetables grown in soil where sludge has once been applied. Sludge proponents claim the material is safe, cost-effective and has been useful in restoring marginal farm land. Southern California's pollution solution has placed Kern County supervisors in the middle of an ugly local food fight. The stakes for both sides are real and big. While sludge disposal has been profitable for a handful of farmers, others claim these profits come at the expense of Kern's entire agricultural industry. It will take more than the wisdom of Solomon to cut this sludge baby in half It will take time, study and a great deal of caution. Supervisors have wisely expanded their advisory committee to include food producers. Now,the committee must be given time to weigh sludge's risks and benefits. Supervisors should extend the urgency ordinance for six months to provide time to carefully consider the environmental, economic and political consequences of spreading sludge onto Kern's farm land. During this extension, the waste allowed to be spread should be limited to Class A. Presently both Class A and Class B waste is being trucked to and spread around Kem. Class A requires more processing, reducing more of the contaminants. This type of limit is common. Neighboring Tulare County, for example, only allows Class A waste to be spread. Some Central Valley counties ban the importation and spreading altogether. The limitation would require Southern California to bear the cost of treating its waste to the Class A level. But, that should be their headache.

Board extends timetable for biosolids regulation Filed: January 12, 1999 By WENDY OWEN Californian staff writer e-mail:wommIlbakersfield.com The Kern County Biosolids Ordinance Advisory Committee has one more year to work on regulations controlling the use of human and industrial waste on county fields. The County Board of Supervisors made that decision on Tuesday, bringing the time the committee has spent on the regulations to three years. Supervisor Jon McQuiston, who said he was disappointed that the county still lacked a permanent ordinance, called for a first draft in 30 to 45 days for public review. Meanwhile, the county will continue to follow an interim ordinance approved in September. Biosolids, also known as sludge, are a mixture of human and 1/13/99 Board extends timetable for biosolids regulation Page 2 of 3 industrial waste. The material is then filtered and heated to eliminate a portion of the worms, bacteria, heavy metals and viruses found in it. About 1 million tons of it is trucked from the Los Angeles area and used as fertilizer on several thousand acres in Kern County. Supervisors listened to two hours of testimony over the extension. Many of those speaking on both sides of the issue are also members of the biosolids committee. The testimony underscored the difficulties committee leaders have had in gaining consensus on the ordinance. The committee is extremely diverse, with some members refusing to budge from their"no biosolids on private land" stance and others agreeing to allow the waste but with limited restrictions. David Price Ilk Kern County Resource Management Agency director, heads the committee. 'This is probably one of the greatest challenges I've ever had," Price said. "For most issues, there are three to four sides to every story. On this one, there are about 20 and that's really not much of an exaggeration," he said. He defended the time extension for the ordinance, saying such complex issues often take a few years. "San Joaquin (county) worked on theirs for four years," he said. San Joaquin's board recently voted to virtually ban biosolids on private land. But Price said the diversity of opinions within the group has required more time to work through issues. 'The dynamics that come into play when you have ... more diverse interests add considerably to projects that are this complex," he said. According to state law, the ordinance must be complete in a year, Price said, adding he hopes to have it done before then. But he doesn't expect a consensus. 'There will be a day when we exhaust our efforts in trying to reach compromise," he said. 1/13/99 Board extends timetable for biosolids regulation Page 3 of 3 At that point, Price will complete the ordinance. "I'm just going to have to weigh the information and make a decision," he said. "I would suspect all sides may not be satisfied with what I come up with." That's where the public will help, Price said. He plans five public workshops in Bakersfield and the surrounding areas to gather comments on the draft ordinance before taking it to the Board of Supervisors. It may also require an environmental review. Supervisor Steve Perez also recommended a public discussion of the science behind biosolids. Concerns of heavy metals, viruses and other toxins were brought up several times during the Tuesday board meeting. m ® Q back back tP mp home CapyAghM lM.1M.The BakmflalE Calftmlan I Email Iba WeE aster M,iolad Ea Omirriaht NWice I Pmaev Pel'cv SWWment 1/13199 Residents to get letter on sewer billing Page 1 of 2 So.

As always,the goal is to end dependence on MWD. By TONY PERRY, Times Staff Writer AN DIEGO--Bom thirsty and raised during times of drought, this city is endlessly on the prowl for drinkable water. Now the civic search for potable sufficiency may even lead ADWRTISEMEW to the use of converted oil tankers,which would import water from the Pacific Northwest. That idea comes in the wake of a + recently rejected attempt to clean waste water thoroughly '• enough that it could be used for washing and drinking. If both plans sound farfetched, it helps to understand local history and local fears. Name the scheme for getting more water and San Diego, which has scant ground water to call its own,has tried it. The �-,-: � �k � first canal was built in 1792, the first dam in 1807. "The early history of San Diego County is virtually synonymous with the quest for water supplies," wrote historian Philip Pryde. I The more recent history,too. In 1915, the city hired a self-described "moisture accelerator" to seed the clouds, a tale of small-town folly captured by Hollywood in the Burt Lancaster-Katharine Hepburn movie "The Rainmaker." The Great Depression crushed San Diego's dream of building an aqueduct from the Colorado River. In the 1990s,under the banner of the County Water Authority, San Diego has battled the mighty Metropolitan Water District of Southern California--the region's water wholesaler. The goal is to bypass the M WD and buy water directly from the irrigation-soaked Imperial Valley. Rare is the week in San Diego when several water ideas are not floated. Take last week. A report from City Hall confirmed that a scientifically innovative but politically explosive plan to purify sewer water and recycle it for drinking has been put on hold indefinitely. After spending$15 million,officials concluded that the "toilet-to-tap" plan lacked sufficient public support to justify spending more than $100 million for a treatment plant. The idea was catching flak as too costly,too experimental and too http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ASECTION/t000003100.html 1/11/99 .wr�. ..a.c, ilm. ,G1llPW L'YG3-r plrA) Jan Llego Page L or t ck Yu But this being San Diego,as one water idea is sinking, another is riding high. A former Sea World executive turned energy analyst and aqua entrepreneur will meet with city officials this week to discuss his proposal to use converted oil tankers to bring water to San Diego from British Columbia and Alaska. John Barbieri,president of the Los Angeles-based Natural Resources Corp.,made a presentation in October to a City Council committee. San Diegans all,the committee members were immediately intrigued by the promise of a new supply of clean,reasonably priced water. At first glance,the plan is beguilingly simple: San Diego wants to buy water, the Pacific Northwest has plenty of water to sell,and there are lots of aging but sturdy oil tankers available. The concept is not new. "I call it my 'back to the future plan,' "Barbieri said. During the Gulf War,the Department of Defense quickly converted an oil tanker into a water supply ship,with the water pumped into holding tanks ashore. Before it finished its Hetch Hetchy aqueduct to the Sierra Nevada in 1934, San Francisco brought water by boat from Marin County. Several companies, including Barbieri's,would love to open up the immense Asian market to water from Canada or the Great Lakes. At present,no California city buys water from tanker ships,although Santa Barbara flirted with the idea during the drought of the 1980s. No less a water visionary than Gov. Edmund G. "Pat" Brown Sr.,father of the State Water Project,was long interested in the notion of using oceangoing water tankers to cut the north-south rivalry that is the Gordian knot of California water politics. In its most recent five-year update of the state's water strategy,the Department of Water Resources rated tankers as the most realistic of the"supply augmentation options"to get water from the Northwest to California. Other options include towing immense bags of water along the coast or building a long underground pipeline. "As far as being able to do it,the idea of tankers seems very doable," said Paul Hutton,program manager of statewide planning for the state water department and lead author of the recent update. "The big question is cost." The economic balance could be tipped by the fact that oil tankers may soon be available at a reduced cost.A bill passed by Congress in response to the Exxon Valdez oil spill mandates that single-hull oil tankers either be phased out or converted to double-hull. Barbieri and others are betting that tanker owners will conclude that it makes more sense to lease or sell their tankers rather than pay the cost of double-hull retrofitting necessary to stay in the oil business. A tanker in the ultra-large crude carrier class has a capacity of about 450,000 acre-feet of water.A single tanker could stop at various coastal sites, letting cities offload enough water to meet their needs—a modem update of the milkman making his rounds. But first,Natural Resources Corp. needs a city willing to try http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ASECTION/t000003100.html 1/11/99 tvuvet water rian t empts tver-t nusry Jan utego rage s of 4 something different,and serve as an example. For that role, ' Barbieri knew exactly where to look: the water-deprived city at the bottom of the state. "San Diego has always wanted to diversify its water supply," he said. "An idea like this fits with their effort to get out from under the yoke" of the Metropolitan Water District. San Diego gets 90%of its water from the M WD and lives in constant fear of severe cutbacks during a drought or earthquake. MWD's promises notwithstanding, it is an article of faith among San Diegans that in times of shortage,the MWD will let San Diego dry up so that Los Angeles can remain wet and happy. "The city can never be comfortable with a single source for most of its water," said Scott Tillson,top aide to Councilman Harry Mathis, who heads the water committee. "We live in a desert. We need backup." Barbieri and city water department officials are working on a proposed 20-year deal under which San Diego would get at least 20,000 acre-feet of water each year,enough for about 160,000 people. The council is eager to have the details, particularly about the costs, by June so it can make a decision. Naturally,there are problems. The water business is never easy. The specter of a water spill does not hold the terror of an oil spill, but there are still multiple state and federal permits that would be needed. That could take years. There has also been complex litigation in Canada and some governmental resistance to water sales. A pipeline system would have to be devised to allow tankers to park offshore and pump their water into San Diego's reservoirs. That could be very expensive, because the region's reservoirs are uphill from the harbor and water is quite heavy. On the other hand,the water would be less salty than water from the Colorado River. That could mean savings in treatment costs necessary to get the water suitable for human consumption. Although it may be the flashiest,the water tanker idea is not the only plan under review. The water authority, fresh from the battle over Imperial Valley water, is looking for other water agencies in the Central Valley and elsewhere that might be willing to sell water. Studies are under way to see if the region has overlooked any natural aquifers. The city's plan to treat and deliver sewer water for reuse by industry and landscaping continues apace. The slogan "showers to flowers" has proved more politically palatable than "toilet to tap." The City Council has also asked for a feasibility study on the granddaddy of all daring water strategies: desalination. George Loveland, deputy city manager in charge of the water department, said, "The water business in San Diego is never static." That's called understatement. wrt • Water Use in San Diego County http://www.latimes.com/HOMEMEWS/ASECTION/t000003100.html 1/11/99 n UYcl Patel rlNt I empty Cvcr-I mrsty Jail otego rage4014 1998: 548,629 acre-feet t (An acre-foot is 326,000 gallons,which is enough for two families for a year.

By TONY PERRY. Times Staff Writer AN DIEGO--The general manager of the mammoth Imperial Irrigation District has been fired, another sign that the historic agreement under which San Diego would buy water from the Imperial Valley--seen as the linchpin ADVERTISEMENT of the state's water future--is far from a done deal. ® This thing is far from over, not lo ," said UC San Diego political science professorr Steven evenon Erie,an expert on California's water wars. Michael Clinton's tenure at the Imperial Irrigation District, the largest water user in Southern California,became shaky STOCKFIRST after the November election of two new board members who expressed doubts about key parts of the San Diego deal. 0 An attempt in August to fire Clinton,who formerly worked for a water engineering firm in Glendale, failed by a single vote. He was terminated Tuesday when the board met for its 1"Os" ets"091.2 first session of the new year. For 7A08mbl1.111.1 Many fanners continue to worry that the district is trying to sell too much water to the thirsty and growing San Diego area and that farmers will be stuck with the costs of water conservation and cleaning up the Salton Sea,which serves as an agricultural sump. There is also the fear that some farmers will let their fields go fallow in order to conserve water for sale, which could undercut Imperial County's billion-dollar agricultural economy. Water issues continue to roil the political landscape of the Imperial Valley,where 500,000 acres of farmland are dependent on irrigation. Clinton, 55, a civil engineer, became the personification of the continuing controversy. "I think his departure will be a good thing," said Carson Kalin, whose family farm has 2,500 acres under cultivation. "He did what he was hired to do—put a deal together--but many of his open-ended statements, like the idea we can conserve 500,000 acre-feet of water,hurt us." Through persistence, and some degree of stealth, Clinton helped shape a deal to sell the San Diego County Water Authority as much as 300,000 acre-feet of water a year--less than a l Oth of the Imperial Valley's allocation from the Colorado River. http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ASECTION/t00000I759.html 1/7/99 manager or imperial water ULSWUL Is rtrou The deal was reached in August after the Legislature allocated$235 million to line canals and build underground storage facilities,overcoming two major obstacles to the agreement. Some expect the new irrigation district board to attempt to reopen negotiations over the agreement,which could prove a lengthy and legally tricky effort because it would involve not just the San Diego County Water Authority but also other parties,including the Legislature. There are other issues that could delay or block the deal: a dispute between the irrigation district and the Coachella Valley Water District, and complex negotiations among several states over the storage of water in Nevada's Lake Mead,the giant reservoir along the Colorado River. Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt has called the water deal essential to the state's effort to live within its rightful water allocation from the Colorado. He has threatened to curtail the practice of allowing California to receive surplus water from the river. Clinton, highly knowledgeable but somewhat aloof, is the second of the state's major water bosses to leave in recent months,as the industry struggles in the throes of fundamental change.John Wodraska, general manager of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, resigned in September to join a Houston-based water business. Clinton angered members of the Imperial County Board of Supervisors,the local grand jury,the editorial page of the Imperial Valley Press and a faction of the farming community. Among other things,Clinton was criticized for not having publicly disclosed that his Glendale firm once did work for the Bass brothers,the Texas billionaires who in the 1990s began buying Imperial Valley land and trying to influence local water policy with an eye toward profiting by letting the land go fallow and selling the water. In a statement released late Tuesday after he was fired, Clinton said that when he was hired in 1995, Southern California "was in denial" and believed that it could continue using more than its share of Colorado River water.He said the district faced two choices: Arrange a sales agreement or let urban areas take the Imperial Valley's water by political muscle. "The [Imperial Irrigation District] board chose to manage its own destiny," Clinton said. "Consistently,the IID board has made policy based upon facts rather than the whims of public opinion." Under his contract,Clinton will receive a year's salary of $165,000.The termination was effective immediately.

SB 1765, by state Sen. Steve Peace, D-El Cajon, includes$200 million for the canal linings. While none of these issues is fully resolved-a host of environmental and regulatory studies must be completed and adopted-Babbitt is ready to proceed - with the last major piece in the California 4.4 puzzle;he announced at the Dec. a. _ 17 meeting that he is"directing the Bureau of Reclamation to begin developing - surplus guidelines for lower Colorado River operations."Those surplus conditions, the secretary said,will require California to meet a series of as-yet-undetermined benchmarks that will be monitored by the Bureau to make sure it is on schedule to reduce its river use to at least 4.8 million acre feet by 2015. %A •„,-`. "[Surplus] is a key component of the overall California plan,"said Robert s Johnson,regional director of the Bureay's Lower Colorado River region."It's the component that has to happen in order for M W D to finalize the San Diego transfer and for M WD to go along with the[IID-CV WD]quantification agreements." "The key linchpins are all beginning to fall into place."said Christine Frahm. _ outgoing chair of the San Diego County Water Authority(SDCWA)board. "California has stepped up to the plate." s, The other six Colorado River states,however, remain cautious about the plan -especially the continued use of surplus flows to maintain a full Colorado River Aqueduct beyond 2015.Officials from Arizona,Colorado,Nevada,New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming fear this may put their own supplies at risk. "They're no doubt making progress, but it's very slow,"Wayne Cook,execu. Ca Ilicrnia has tive director of the Upper Colorado River Basin Commission,told The Salt Idre Tribune."The risk to the Upper Basin has not been softened." The strong feelings don't surprise Kennedy."There is a lot of resentment of California,"he said. "We've been on notice for years about this 4.4 issue." stepped up iO Part of the urgency to resolve the issue now stems from the fact that the Colorado River isn't in a crisis mode;there is enough water stored in the system to allow for surplus deliveries to the Lower Basin. In the view of the other basin states,this is the best time for California to adopt a plan to forestall a drought- the plate." related crisis in the future. Environmental impact studies, however,are required before implementation, and some people fear mitigation requirements could pose other hurdles for the - Christine Frahm, SDCWA plan. For example,conservation measures employed in the Imperial-San Diego agreement and the canal linings will reduce inflow to the Salton Sea,complicat. ing an already complex restoration effort for the vast saline body of water. For southern California's urban interests, the 4.4 plan is crucial, for without such a futuristic approach, the historic Colorado River division means they would lose Colorado River water first-it is the agricultural districts that hold first rights to the state's share of the Colorado River.The proposals under discussion now, however,acknowledge another indisputable fact: the cities now have the eco. nomic and political clout. "There's enough water in the Lower Basin to accommodate the needs of all the parties,"Babbitt said."They'll have to use water a little differently.And we'll have to do a couple of things.We'll move toward pricing water in a realistic way and making it easier to facilitate transfers in a market.The alternative is to have these sort of regulatory allocations and they really don't work."

By TONY PERRY, Timer Staff Writer n the first shot of what could become an urban vs. rural water war,the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California voted Tuesday to ask Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt to reconsider the 1931 agreement that gives fanners the ADVERTISEMEW lion's share of the Colorado River. The Imperial Irrigation District,the state's largest user of Colorado River water, immediately vowed to wage a court battle to block any MWD-backed change in the agreement--a battle that could tie up California s water planning for years. "Lawyers and others who counsel Metropolitan to find t I additional water in the courtroom or in the [political] hearing room are willing to gamble the Southern California economy on a water-use litigation lottery," Bruce Kuhn,president of the I ' . I I I Imperial Irrigation District's board of directors, wrote to the ^ 1� MWD's board chairman. Kuhn's ire was raised by a statement of principles adopted by the M WD's board of directors that criticizes the Department of Interior for giving "inadequate attention to its obligation" to see that Colorado River water is distributed "in the manner that best meets the public need." In water-speak,that means MWD would like to see a change in the formula that gives approximately 75%of California's annual share of the Colorado River to the Imperial Irrigation District and three smaller agricultural districts, which distribute it to farmers in the Imperial,Palo Verde and Coachella valleys and in the Yuma, Ariz., area. Most of the rest goes to MWD,but is considered inadequate for the region's growing needs. Each year the MWD must wait for the secretary of the interior to determine whether there is surplus water in the Colorado River that the MWD can buy and distribute to its member agencies,which serve 16 million people in six Southern California counties. The annual surplus determination is both nerve-racking to the MWD—which is left to wonder each year whether Southern California will receive enough water--and fraught with political controversy. Other states that depend on the Colorado River are increasingly uneasy with California receiving such surpluses. "We just can't go on another six,seven,eight years with this http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ASECT►ON/t000003786.htm1 1/13/99 r3atue Lines Lrawn Vver water kugms rage c vi c . kind of uncertainty on the Colorado River," said Henry Barbosa,vice chairman of the MWD board. "This is not a ' hostile act. We just want to solve a problem." The MWD action represents a partial break with the drive by state and federal officials,including Babbitt,to trim California's use of the Colorado River by encouraging water sales from the agricultural districts. The board action says that Babbitt "would place unreasonably large water and monetary burdens on urban Southern California ratepayers" by requiring those ratepayers to pay some of the costs of conserving and storing water in the agricultural areas. There has long been sentiment at the MWD that it is time to break what some see as the agricultural districts'hegemony over California's water supply by forcing a change in the 1931 allocation formula so urban and suburban areas will receive more water and the surplus water issue is resolved. The MWD statement used language that was sure to rile the Imperial Irrigation District,by referring to water wasting in the Imperial Valley and by suggesting that there is something wrong with the Imperial Irrigation District's plan to earn a profit by selling Colorado River water to San Diego County.

Working under the title ADVERTISEMENT t'al-Fed they had hoped to announce agreement recently on the first stage of a proposed 30-year,$8-billion program. The goal is to restore the environment of the polluted Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and assure a stable, high-quality water supply for two-thirds of all Californians,including those in coastal Southern California.

A SECTION HELP` Get your future in shape urs ay, anuaryL Manager of Imperial Water District Is Fired ■ Irrigation: Action reflects board's doubts about historic deal to sell water to San Diego. By TONY PERRY, Times Staff Writer AN DIEGO--The general manager of the mammoth Imperial Irrigation District has been fired, another sign that the historic agreement under which San Diego would buy water from the Imperial Valley--seen as the linchpin ADVERTISEMEM of the state's water future--is far from a done deal. This thing is far from over, not r t lven Erie," said UC San Diego political science professor Steven Erie, an expert on California's water wars. Michael Clinton's tenure at the Imperial Irrigation District, the largest water user in Southern California, became shaky STOCKFIRST after the November election of two new board members who expressed doubts about key parts of the San Diego deal. ® An attempt in August to fire Clinton,who formerly worked for a water engineering firm in Glendale, failed by a single i]—i 6ee 9ieStiruce vote. He was terminated Tuesday when the board met for its Imaatment Stnlvple• first session of the new year. For Tna Sman Investor Manv farmers continue too Wo that the district is Arvin¢ to sell too much water to the rrs antft� d rowin San Diego area and that Thriners will be stuck with the costs o water conservation and cleaning uD t e Salton Sea which serves as an a�rtcultural sum . There is�fear that some farmers will let their fields go fallow in order to conserve water for sale, which could undercut Imperial County's billion-dollar agricultural economy. Water issues continue to roil the political landscape of the Imperial Valley,where 500,000 acres of farmland are dependent on irrigation. Clinton, 55, a civil engineer, became the personification of the continuing controversy. "I think his departure will be a good thing," said Carson Kalin, whose family farm has 2,500 acres under cultivation. "He did what he was hired to do--put a deal together--but many of his open-ended statements, like the idea we can conserve 500,000 acre-feet of water,hurt us." Through persistence, and some degree of stealth, Clinton helped shape a deal to sell the San Diego County Water Authority as much as 300,000 acre-feet of water a year--less than a 10th of the Imperial Valley's allocation from the Colorado River. http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/ASECTION/t000001759.html 1/7/99 rvrartager a smpennt w ater uumct a rreo The deal was reached in August after the Legislature allocated$235 million to line canals and build underground storage facilities,overcoming two major obstacles to the agreement. Some expect the new irrigation district board to attempt to reopen negotiations over the agreement,which could prove a lengthy and legally tricky effort because it would involve not just the San Diego County Water Authority but also other parties, including the Legislature. There are other issues that could delay or block the deal: a dispute between the irrigation district and the Coachella Valley Water District,and complex negotiations among several states over the storage of water in Nevada's Lake Mead,the giant reservoir along the Colorado River. Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt has called the water deal essential to the states effort to live within its rightful water allocation from the Colorado. He has threatened to curtail the practice of allowing California to receive surplus water from the river. Clinton, highly knowledgeable but somewhat aloof, is the second of the state's major water bosses to leave in recent months, as the industry struggles in the throes of fundamental change.John Wodmska,general manager of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,resigned in September to join a Houston-based water business. Clinton angered members of the Imperial County Board of Supervisors,the local grand jury,the editorial page of the Imperial Valley Press and a faction of the fanning community. Among other things,Clinton was criticized for not having publicly disclosed that his Glendale firm once did work for the Bass brothers,the Texas billionaires who in the 1990s began buying Imperial Valley land and trying to influence local water policy with an eye toward profiting by letting the land go fallow and selling the water. In a statement released late Tuesday after he was fired, Clinton said that when he was hired in 1995, Southern California"was in denial"and believed that it could continue using more than its share of Colorado River water. He said the district faced two choices: Arrange a sales agreement or let urban areas take the Imperial Valley's water by political muscle. "The [Imperial Irrigation District] board chose to manage its own destiny," Clinton said. "Consistently,the IID board has made policy based upon facts rather than the whims of public opinion." Under his contract, Clinton will receive a year's salary of $165,000. The termination was effective immediately.

SUMMARY OCSD currently owns three sewer easements on the site of the former Imperial Golf Course in the City of Fullerton in connection with Cypress Avenue Subtrunk Sewer, Contract No. 2-9-3. Unocal owns the land on the former golf course and is in the process of developing the land into a residential housing tract. The new replacement trunk sewer for OCSD, Contract No. 2-9-3, has been built. The City of Fullerton has now requested quitclaiming the existing easements to Unocal and having the developer record the new tract map with the new easements dedicated to OCSD with the map recordation. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY N/A BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. (Line hem: 1998-99 Budget Capital Projects Zone 3, line d) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ® Not applicable (information item) G:NraiomNgeMe Onfl Repoihvam Roermyweivm ary meewn of ti W.tlec RCrsptl y1NA9 Page 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The oldest of the OCSD sewer easements was obtained in 1960, prior to the construction of the original Cypress Avenue Subtrunk Sewer, Contract No. 2-9. That easement is no longer required because the newly constructed replacement sewer, Contract No. 2-9-3, has a completely different alignment. The City of Fullerton will own new storm drainpipes in various portions of the private streets within the new development. They have requested concurrent easements with OCSD for their facilities within the same streets as the new OCSD sewer. OCSD has agreed to cooperate with the City, to quitclaim two existing recently obtained easements, and have the new required easements recorded with the tract map simultaneously for both parties. ALTERNATIVES No good alternatives are available. To deny the quitclaim request would cause problems for the City of Fullerton. CEOA FINDINGS N/A ATTACHMENTS 1.

One of the Quitclaim Deeds covers the original easement that needs to be vacated before we can record our maps. As we discussed it in our telephone conversation,you will furnish us a letter of intent to vacate so that the title company will take the easement out of the title report. The other two deeds represent the incremental vacation of the new easement that you recently recorded over the new sewer line. In accordance with the permit conditions,a new easement will be granted on the maps with equal rights to the O.C.S.D.&the City of Fullerton. If you have any questions please call me.

OCSO • P.O.Box B127 . Fountain Valley,CA 92728-8127 . (714) 962-2411 �J Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting ` Page 2 December 16, 1998 (6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER One of the changes resulting from consolidation is that the council, rather than the mayor, appoints the representative to the District's Board of Directors. General Manager McIntyre indicated that letters have been mailed to the cities in the service area recommending continuing the existing representation. A February 24, 1999 joint meeting with the OCWD's Board is being discussed to consider approving the EIR for the Groundwater Replenishment System project. This would be before the regular Board meeting on that same date. Before this meeting, it was suggested that staff contact the new Board member from Anaheim to present the project and answer questions. Blake Anderson and staff provided updates on the Kem County Biosolids Ordinance, due diligence on the Wheeler Ridge site, the July 21 spill in Newport Beach, and made a presentation on continuing watershed management activities. The Committee members approved the staff recommendations to continue participation in the Santa Ana River Watershed Group (SARWG); to consider a future role for the District in SAWPA govemance and to monitor related activities in the watershed; to explore new opportunities with OCWD; to continue to participate in POTW associations such as CASA, AMSA, and SCAP; and to support effective Clean Water Act Amendments. Don McIntyre also reported on the SAWPA Directors Retreat that he attended. The Board appears to be more project oriented at this time. There does not appear to be any interest in serving on each other's boards. It was suggested that a Steering Committee study session be held on the regional watershed issues. This will be discussed again in January. (7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel Tom Woodruff updated the members on the Sacramento Regional CSD lawsuit and possible impacts on other agencies and indicated that a more detailed report would be made at tonight's Board meeting.

(7) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER General Manager Don McIntyre reported that to date three applications for Cooperative Projects Program funds have been received. He also reported on a luncheon meeting with City of Anaheim staff on their concerns about the GWR project. They are requesting that the date for considering the EIR be delayed from February 24 so that their comments and the comments of their consultant can be considered. Assistant General Manager Anderson, who was also at the meeting, stated that some of the background information which was used to determine findings did not make it into the final draft EIR. If included, it would have clarified some of the questions raised by the consultant. The delay of one month does not adversely impact the project schedule because the EIR was originally scheduled to be considered in March. It was agreed to recommend to the Joint Coordinating Committee that the item be moved to the March 24 Board agenda. Chair Debay discussed the tentative plans for the Steering Committee/EMT Retreat scheduled for Saturday, February 20. After discussion, it was agreed that the retreat would be held at the District beginning at 9 a.m. (8) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel Tom Woodruff was not present.

Because there will be new Directors present who have not had yet attended orientation meetings, the presentation would provide basic background information to help them understand the issues. The development of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)was discussed, as well as some of the timing and staffing implications of those projects. The public outreach program was also discussed. Michelle Tuchman indicated that one of the main concerns is how the public will perceive the recommendation to reduce the quality of the effluent from 50/50 to the EPA permitted level of 67/33 for three years. An action plan is being developed that will provide for various strategies. (10) OTHER BUSINESS.

P144-4 (Rebid) GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION (1) Approve the plans and specifications for Seismic Retrofit of Four Structures at Reclamation Plant No. 1, Job No. P1-444 (Rebid), on file at the offices of the Board Secretary; (2) Receive and file bid tabulation and recommendation; and (3) Authorize award of a contract for Seismic Retrofit of Four Structures at Reclamation Plant No. 1, Job No. P1-44.4 (Rebid), to Ark Construction Company for an amount not to exceed $618,000. SUMMARY Job No. P1-44-4 was designed by Holmes and Narver with waterproofing work designed by Lord Fleming Architects. This work provides for the following: (1) additions to existing structures to strengthen and better resist earthquakes; and (2) waterproofing the Administration Building. In October, the Board of Directors rejected all bids for Job No. P1-44-4. The specifications were clarified and the project rebid as Seismic Retrofit of Four Structures at Reclamation Plant No. 1, Job No. P1-44-4 (Rebid). This project, Job No. P1-44-4 (Rebid), was bid on December 1, 1998. Six bids were received ranging from $942,999 to the low bid of$618,000, submitted by Ark Construction Company. The Director of Engineering recommends award of the low bid contract to Ark Construction Company. The Engineer's estimate was $828,000.

The Seismic Retrofit of Four Structures at Reclamation Plant No. 1 is the final construction phase in a series of projects addressing risk reduction. This work will provide additional structural supports for the Blower Building, Dewatering Building 'C', Belt Press Building, and the Administration Building. These improvements will provide stronger connections between the roof and walls and reinforce the connection between the walls and the foundation of each structure. Holmes & Narver Engineers completed this design. The work to waterproof the Administration Building was designed under Job No. P1-40-1 and transferred to this construction contract. The work was combined due to common areas being modified. This project was originally bid on September 15, 1998. A low bid of$658,000 was submitted by Ark Construction Company. All bids were rejected by the Board of Directors on October 28, 1998, because all bids were deemed non- responsive. The specifications required the contractor to submit information about the firm responsible for applying a special waterproofing material to the Administration Building. None of the contractors included this information. The project was bid again as Seismic Retrofit of Four Structures at Reclamation Plant No. 1, Job No. P1-44-4 (Rebid). Bids were opened on December 1, 1998. Six bids were received ranging from $942,999 to the low bid of$618,000 submitted by Ark Construction Company. The Director of Engineering recommends award of the low bid contract to Ark Construction Company. The Engineer's estimate was $828,000. ALTERNATIVES None CEQA FINDINGS This project is included in a previously approved Master Plan/EIR. The Final EIR was approved on July 19, 1989, and the Notice of Determination was filed on July 20, 1989.

AGENDA REPORT tem Number rtrm N�mbe /S Orange County Sanitation District FROM: Mike Petennan, Director of Human Resources Originator: Lisa Tomko, Manager, Human Resources SUBJECT: EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Adopt Ordinance No. OCSD-08, An Ordinance of the Board of Directors of Orange County Sanitation District, Providing for an Early Retirement Incentive Program by Granting Additional Service Credit to Eligible District Employees as authorized by the County Employees' Retirement Law of 1937, Government Code Section 31641.04: a) Verbal report of General Counsel. b) Motion to read Ordinance No. OCSD-08 by title only, and waive reading of said entire ordinance. (The waiver of the reading of the entire ordinance must be adopted by a unanimous vote of Directors present.) c) Motion to introduce Ordinance No. OCSD-08 d) Motion to adopt Ordinance No. OCSD-08 as an urgency measure, to be effective immediately e) Approve Early Retirement Incentive Agreement with Orange County Employees Retirement System in connection with Ordinance No. OCSD-08. SUMMARY The Board has approved all Early Retirement Incentive Programs for each of the last four fiscal years. During those four years, 42 employees have retired early. Four of those positions were refilled. From the positions that were deleted the District saved or will save $7.8 million through fiscal year 2000-01. Staff believes that it would again be prudent to offer this program because of the significant savings and accelerated attrition that has been demonstrated. Staff has inventoried the positions where the incumbent employees are eligible to participate in this program. We have concluded that, due to changes of organization and the method of providing services, no impairment to District's operations would result from the approval and implementation of this program. At least six employees have expressed strong interest in early retirement. If this program is adopted, eligible employees with a minimum of ten years of service and 50 years of age would be granted two additional years of service credit for retirement purposes, provided they retire from employment between February 1, 1999, and July 31, 1999.

OCSD-08 AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT PROVIDING FOR AN EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM BY GRANTING ADDITIONAL SERVICE CREDIT TO ELIGIBLE DISTRICT EMPLOYEES, AS AUTHORIZED BY THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT LAW OF 1937, CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 31641.04 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Orange County Sanitation District has previously adopted Resolutions and Ordinances approving Early Retirement Incentive Programs for all eligible District employees, as authorized by California Government Code Section 31641.04; and WHEREAS, previously adopted Incentive Programs were, as provided by law, for a fixed period of time, each of which has now expired; and WHEREAS, District's Management has reported to the Board the desirability of implementing a further Early Retirement Incentive Program due to the implementation of changes in the manner of performing District services and the savings of money and other economic benefits that will flow to the District by the retirement of eligible employees; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has determined that changes in the manner of performing District services, and the total cost savings of having higher compensated employees retire early, will exceed the total actuarial costs of the additional service credit granted to those who retire under this Program. NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of Orange County Sanitation District does hereby ORDAIN: Section 1: California Government Code Section 31641.04, as a component provision of the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937, is hereby adopted and deemed applicable to all regular, full-time employees, by the Board of Directors, upon the adoption of this Ordinance. Section 2: All regular, full-lime employees of the Orange County Sanitation District who are eligible to participate as members and retire under the Orange County Employees Retirement System, shall be granted two (2) additional years of service credit for retirement benefit purposes, provided they retire from regular employment of the District during the period of February 1, 1999 through and including July 31, 1999. Section 3: The General Manager of the District, or his designee, is authorized to execute any and all contracts or other documents, and to transfer all required funds to the Orange County Employees Retirement System, in order to implement the authorized actions provided for herein. Section 4: The total cost savings resulting from the retirement of employees in positions which are subsequently filled at a lower level, or when the position is held vacant for a period of time, shall exceed the total actuarial cost of the additional service credit granted to those employees who retire, together with the related paid leave payoff costs. zoearoo 0 Section 5: District shall pay to the Orange County Employees Retirement System the actuarially-determined cost of this Early Retirement Incentive Program over a period not to exceed five (5) years, and on such other terms and conditions as shall be set forth in a mutually agreed upon written contract between the District and the Board of Retirement of the Orange County Employees Retirement System. Section 6: This Ordinance is enacted as an urgency measure to take effect immediately in order to preserve and enhance the public welfare, in that the District has not fully recovered from all losses suffered in the bankruptcy of the County of Orange in 1995, and the savings of money through reduced employee compensation will partially off-set losses suffered and incurred directly by the District, and whose full recovery is otherwise unknown at this time. Section 7: This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon adoption. Section 8: The Secretary of the Board shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause a summary to be published in a newspaper of general circulation, as required by law.

A Benchmarking Project final report will be issued in the first quarter of 1999. The final report will describe in detail the agencies participating in the project r and compare their processes, performance, and costs. The report also will draw specific conclusions and make recommendations designed to help the Multi-Agencies gain efficiencies and reduce costs. This is the second phase of the Benchmarking Project. In the first phase, three agencies— Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD),East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), and Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD,then operating under the name of County Sanitation Districts of Orange County)—worked together for several years on benchmarking projects initiated by EBMUD. These agencies, collectively known as the Tri- Agencies, agreed to perform detailed benchmarking analyses in order to accurately and completely compare their respective operating costs. The Tri-Agencies developed a methodology to collect and compare operational costs between plants with different configurations, addressing one of the largest challenges faced in benchmarking and comparative analysis. r In this phase, which began in the summer of 1997, the project expanded to enable four additional agencies to benefit from benchmarking. These agencies are the City of Los Angeles, Bureau of Sanitation(CLABS);Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD); City of Portland, Bureau of Environmental Services(CPBES); and King County(Washington)Department of Natural Resources(KCDNR). ,. The second phase of the project also saw the development of an Access database for collecting and managing cost data from the Multi-Agencies. The Multi-Agencies now share a comprehensive collection of cost data and information about each other's business practices, and r thus are able to compare their operating costs in more meaningful ways than before. At the same time, this information exchange has strengthened the relationships of the Multi-Agencies and positioned them to collaboratively evaluate unique methodologies and cutting-edge practices for the future. Considering the sensitivity of the data collected during the project, and adhering to a generally accepted code of conduct for benchmarking, no cost data in the final report refer to any of the Multi-Agencies by name. Instead, the report uses a letter designation for each agency whenever cost information is presented. The final report will present more specific data about each participating agency. For this technical memorandum, Table 1, Key Agency Facts, provides summary information about the eY Multi-Agencies. i W Technical Memorandum V Table 1.

A major objective during this phase of the project was to develop a LJ data collection template that identifies and defines business unit costs, and which enables the agencies to gather and compare information consistently. Analyzing and responding to this information will enable the Multi-Agencies to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their wastewater treatment operations. This and other objectives are described below. Develop Data Collection Template L Many benchmarking studies have been conducted within the public utility industry, but none has been designed solely for wastewater treatment facilities or by the people who actually run the plants. One objective of the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Project was to develop a tool that u grows with the project to allow a wastewater agency to compare costs and business activities to other agencies. The tool that was developed is a template that allows all costs and processes to be categorized. The template is laid out as a block diagram to help visually depict where costs 61 are allocated, and each block is defined so that multiple users can assign costs appropriately and consistently. i w Conduct Performance Benchmarking Performance benchmarking involves the development of comparative cost data. By using the u template to collect this information, the Multi-Agencies will be able to compare their wastewater treatment costs with similar agencies. The comparisons will also be useful in providing internal direction for future optimization efforts or capital projects, as necessary. For accuracy, the overall costs are divided into the following cost centers: operations, maintenance, technical support, administration/general, and other non-wastewater treatment operating costs. Each agency can verify that the costs presented in the benchmarking study correlate with the actual W expenditures for the study year. _ V Technical Memorandum Conduct Process Benchmarking Process benchmarking focuses on how each agency does business. Process area work groups prepared and sent detailed surveys to each of the agencies in order to collect information on their current practices. These work groups are divided into Operations and Maintenance(O&M), Administration, Laboratory, Capital Program Engineering, and Source Control. The survey responses help explain the differences in costs. Linking the process and performance benchmarking efforts is important in determining why one agency is more cost-effective than another and assists in the development of best practices. Develop and Foster Open Communications Honest and open communications have been crucial to the success of the project. Regular meetings have provided a venue to discuss data collection methods, differences in cost allocations, differences in business operations, and areas of improvement identified by each agency. Discussions of where to distribute the incurred costs have helped identify alternative ways to distribute costs, perform work, and optimize systems. Each agency is responsible for providing accurate accounting of its costs in order for the data and comparisons to be meaningful. .. Identify Potential Areas of Improvement Another objective of this phase of the project is to help the Multi-Agencies identify potential improvements and prioritize future work. For example, some agencies may discover that their chemical costs for dewatering are higher than other agencies' and may determine that additional study into those chemicals is warranted. Another agency may want to continue researching its accounting and tracking systems and business practices before determining future actions. Share Lessons Learned By sharing lessons learned, the Multi-Agencies can minimize duplicate efforts and avoid reinventing the wheel. Pooled resources can help make future studies more feasible and cost- effective by distributing costs and benefits among participants. For example, several agencies may collaborate and share the costs of evaluating possible treatment alternatives, or discuss how changes in organizational structure and staffing changes have affected a facility. r Track Performance A performance tracking system is an important objective for those agencies in their third year of benchmarking, and for the purpose of accommodating the future growth of the project. The Access database allows more agencies to be added to the project in the future, and will also allow comparisons of normalized cost data to be made more rapidly. Additionally, the database allows single-agency comparisons for multiple years so individual agencies can track their cost trends. As new cost-saving measures are implemented,the effects of these changes can easily be .. evaluated using the database. The agencies that participated in past studies can track their performance for fiscal year 1997 (FY 97) as well as their performance in previous years. L Technical Memorandum i 4 Approach to Work u The following subsection describes how this phase of the Benchmarking Project is organized. It also describes the methodology used to collect and compare costs among the agencies. L Project Organization The Benchmarking Project is operated under a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)between the seven Multi-Agencies. The project includes a lead agency, a Steering Committee, five work groups, contributing staff from each of the Multi-Agencies, and an outside consultant. - The lead agency is responsible for overall project management, resolving issues related to the MOU and consultant contract, and coordinating communication among the Multi-Agencies. The role of lead agency is alternated among the Multi-Agencies with each successive phase of the L project. EBMUD is the lead agency for this phase of the project. The Steering Committee consists of seven agency leads(one person from each agency who is responsible for that agency's timely cooperation throughout the project) and the leads from each L of the five work groups. The Steering Committee assists the lead agency by overseeing and directing the project and ensuring that the needs of each participating agency are met. The committee handles budget issues and directs the contributors from each participating agency. 4+ The Steering Committee meets regularly to discuss the status and direction of the project. The work groups are responsible for meeting regularly to develop and/or refine the template, L collect, organize, and analyze the process and performance data associated with each cost center, and determine best practices when possible. In some cases, a work group may analyze more than one cost center(for example, the O&M Work Group). In other cases, the Steering Committee u may create auxiliary work groups to examine specific areas of more complex cost centers(for example, the technical support cost center, which includes the Capital Program Engineering, Source Control, and Laboratory Work Groups)so that more meaningful comparisons can be L•� made. The work groups are organized so that the people most involved with each cost center are responsible for the cost center data and reap the benefits of subsequent discussions. Lr The outside consultant assists the project by providing project management and scheduling, developing the Access database, collating the data collected by the individual agencies, overseeing project subconsultants, analyzing data, and assisting with the production of this L technical memorandum and the forthcoming final report. Methodology L This subsection describes how performance and process benchmarking data were collected, organized, and analyzed. It also discusses how data will be presented in the final report. L Data Collection Performance Benchmarking. Data were requested for FY 97. A template developed in the L first phase of this project was upgraded and refined for this phase of the project. Each of the - Multi-Agencies reviewed its expenditures and divided them into the categories presented in the Li template. Each of the work groups met regularly to determine the best way to allocate costs to L Technical Memorandum provide the most accurate comparisons. Use of the template brought up inevitable differences in the way each agency allocates costs. The template was revised accordingly. Various tools were used for data verification as the project proceeded. Ultimately, each agency compared the costs reported in the study with its actual expenditures for the project year. Additional verification occurred when the individual work groups met to compare costs. This promoted more discussion about the different ways the individual agencies performed work or allocated costs. The data were reviewed to determine performance trouble spots and identify areas suitable for discussions about best practices. Process Benchmarking. Each work group developed a process benchmarking survey designed to gather business practice information about the most important topics affecting its cost centers. The representatives from each agency within each work group were responsible for researching the information and reporting back to the group. The most appropriate people from each agency responded to specific questions in the survey and tracked the amount of time spent researching the responses. The responses were collated and distributed to the members of the work group to provide a basis for discussion on best practices. r Database Development The Access database can be used as a data collection tool, as well as for data presentation after analysis. The structure of the cost collection database(CCD) is based on the data collection template. Each agency received an empty database and was responsible for direct data input at an appropriate level of detail. Up to seven levels of depth for costs are available, but not all levels are used throughout all cost centers because some cost centers are simpler than others. Costs are subdivided as far as each agency's accounting system allows,with some agencies able to provide very detailed information on a specific area or a specific unit process. r The Capital Program Engineering Work Group developed a separate database to account for its cost collection and analysis. r Data Analysis r After the raw data were collected from each of the Multi-Agencies, they were entered into a project master database(except for Capital Program Engineering data). The master database was designed to accept sets of raw data from the individual agencies, normalize them, and then r provide comparative tables and graphs. In order to accommodate the numerous types of analyses that could be run, the master database accepts many normalization factors. Normalization factors are necessary to provide meaningful data comparisons. They help to r reconcile the differences among the agencies by providing a common basis for comparison, such as cost per million gallons treated, rather than simple cost figures. Cost is affected by the size of a facility, and dividing by the amount of wastewater treated normalizes the data to allow straight r comparisons. Appropriate normalization values vary with the type of analysis and the type of data desired. Many of the treatment plant processes, for example, can be normalized based on flow. Laboratory costs, however, may be more meaningful if normalized by the number of analyses run. r L Technical Memorandum L Other considerations also must be evaluated before making generalizations about the costs of any I specific agency. For example, influent characteristics may make some processes more or less L effective at one plant than another. The type and age of the equipment used at each facility can affect costs. Regional differences in the cost of living can also influence cost data. V Data Presentation Each work group is preparing a number of tables and graphs that present the data from its applicable cost centers. This information will be presented and discussed in the individual group chapters as part of the final report. The Capital Program Engineering Work Group is developing scatter plot graphs with trend lines V to show average costs for each agency and the average of all agencies for capital projects from $100,000 to$100,000,000. The scatter plots allow the Multi-Agencies to compare costs for a wide range of projects without requiring the agencies to submit costs for projects of any specific or pre-determined size. The other work groups are producing bar graphs, which generally present cost data from low- L cost to high-cost agency(Agency A through Agency G). Because the low-and high-cost agencies change from one graph to another, no single agency is consistently represented by any L single letter throughout the final report. Instead,for most graphs, Agency A is the low-cost agency and Agency G is the high-cost agency. i ' The bar graphs allow complementary costs to be summed flexibly across any combination of I-+ processes. For example, an agency can determine its total cost for odor control by adding isolated odor control costs from various liquids and solids stream processes. Similarly, an agency ra 'L n determine its total cost for secondary treatment by adding together all secondary process costs. Constraints The Access database allows users to compare data at the level at which data are available. This flexibility allows the data from any agency to be compared to another agency, regardless of the L different treatment processes used at each plant. It also may lead to misinterpretation of the data, because none of the qualifying information is adequately expressed in cost data alone. L Conclusions based solely on data are bound to contain inaccuracies because they do not account LI for the factors underlying the numbers. For example, data alone would not necessarily show that I � an agency has an extremely active public involvement program that successfully mitigates U neighborhood dissent on planned projects. Raw data might reflect only that the program increases the overall cost of treatment,while failing to indicate the significant time and effort ' that such a program may save at a later date. L The cost data reflect factors such as differing regulatory constraints, political edicts, or I , innovative programs that provide value-added products or services to customers,but may not U provide the detail or context necessary to fully understand the impact of these factors. For example, each of the agencies participating in the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Project has permit requirements that affect the level and cost of treatment required. Table 2, FY 97 Effluent W Permit Limits, shows some of the effluent limits for each of the Multi-Agency plants. All plants have other effluent limits to meet,but those given in Table 2 are the most common parameters. , l Technical Memorandum Some agencies operate under the umbrella of a larger organization over which the agency itself has no control. For example, overhead costs for an agency may be dependent on its role in the larger organization. Similarly, the approach each agency takes to reclaiming wastewater or recycling biosolids will vary depending on local and state politics and regulations. These programs undoubtedly contribute to the overall cost of treatment, but may at the same time deliver a commensurate benefit to a community, or to an agency, in the form of research and development that may pay dividends in the future. r Table 2.

(For preliminary work group findings, see page 9.) r Technical Memorandum Wastewater Treatment Costs In FY 97, the average cost for the Multi-Agencies to treat wastewater was $791 per million gallons treated, with the costs ranging between $582 and $1,282 per million gallons. These costs include only administration/general, operations, maintenance, technical support, and other non- wastewater costs. Administration/general costs include the costs for overall utility management and clerical functions, human resources, legal services, training, employee benefits, and other functions. Operations and maintenance costs include all costs specific to the plant, including all unit processes, plant clerical support, and other plant O&M functions such as landscape maintenance. Technical support costs include all laboratory, source control, and other technical support for plant operations. Other non-wastewater costs include costs incurred by the Multi- Agencies for activities outside of the boundaries of the wastewater treatment facilities, such as water quality planning or lake and stream monitoring that is not required by permit limits. Some of the Multi-Agencies use this category for costs that do not fit well into the template. As a result, the non-wastewater costs for these agencies may be significant. Costs for collection systems were not studied in this phase of the project and are not included as a component of the cost to treat wastewater. Details on the components and costs will be presented in the final report. The approximate distribution of costs, expressed as a percentage of total treatment expenditures, is shown in Figure 1, Cost Center Allocation Breakdown. This figure shows the average cost for all seven of the agencies for the breakdowns discussed above.

Cost Center Allocation Breakdown Multi-Agency Benchmarking Project 8 January 12, 1999 r Technical Memorandum r Labor-Management Relations r In an effort to improve Tabor-management relations, some agencies: • Use creative compensation packages that might include skill-based pay, gainsharing, and bereavement leave policies. In addition to rewarding people who improve their skills, agencies may benefit by being able to operate more efficiently with fewer, better-trained people. e Use alternative dispute resolution practices, such as a joint labor-management committee,to increase collaboration and cooperation. These practices can lead to improved decision making and better labor-management relations. r Accounting Systems Many agencies have accounting systems that do not directly allocate costs to unit processes, making allocation of past expenditures more challenging. Several agencies have modified their existing systems to match the template in order to accommodate requests for this type of information more efficiently. Organizational Restructuring Several agencies are undergoing restructuring in order to increase efficiency and decrease costs. These projects include multi-year plans with changes in structure and business practices along with adopted target reductions. Although the results of these changes are not evident in this r year's report,they should be reflected in future reports. Preliminary Work Group Findings The following section describes the preliminary findings from each of the five work groups: r Capital Program Engineering, O&M, Administration, Source Control, and Laboratory. Capital Program Engineering r The Capital Program Engineering Work Group is evaluating the capital improvement programs at the Multi-Agencies. A total of 72 projects have been sorted into one of two project types— collection system or treatment plant. Only projects completed (designed and constructed)within the last 10 years are included in the analysis. In order to reconcile regional differences in labor rates for both in-house staff and consultants, r project construction costs have been compared to the total hours spent in each project phase by both in-house staff and consultants. '-' Process benchmarking data were collected through the use of 12 process topic area surveys. These topic areas include capital improvement program development, partnering and dispute resolution, customer identification, document management, authority levels, change order processing, consultant procurement, staffing, construction contract approval, project management, alternative capital project delivery methods, and inspection duties. Key findings from the Capital Program Engineering Work Group follow. r I ' Technical Memorandum Change Order Management In some agencies, change orders are regularly deferred to future contracts and only non- v discretionary changes are completed. Additional study is required to determine whether deferral of changes is more efficient in the long run than incorporating changes with work in progress. Lr Also, change order percentages vary widely for both collection system and plant projects and within individual agencies. This indicates that change order percentages may be affected more by the specifics of the project than by a management approach. Some agencies also have lower W markups on change orders because they include a limit on markups in the specifications. Selection and Use of Consultants L Some agencies have streamlined processes for consultant procurement, particularly for smaller projects. The findings indicate that as construction costs increase, the agencies tend to use more Lr outside consultant hours compared to in-house staff hours. This may be done to avoid major staffing fluctuations. Scope Control Some agencies improve efficiency by preparing tight scopes of work on consultant agreements iL and aggressively managing projects to prevent changes in the scopes of work. This approach also applies to managing changes during construction. Staffing U Some agencies try to keep staff"billable to projects,"but also have overhead charge codes for work not attributed directly to projects. Standards V Some agencies tend to have more repetitive type projects, which helps to keep costs down. They also have less formal procedures for project management, but use consistent filing systems. V Policy Issues Some agencies have no minority/woman-owned business enterprise goals and requirements. At V some agencies, the Board of Directors delegates more authority for capital projects to the staff than other agencies. These agencies also have corporate cultures that support timely decision making at relatively low levels in the organization. Design Cost Effect on Change Orders The graphs of design cost versus construction cost as related to change order percentage are v relatively flat, indicating that spending more on design does not reduce the percentage of change orders. The changes related only to design issues are not categorized, so no correlation can be Lj drawn between the design effort expended and the value of design-related changes. L V Technical Memorandum ..i Operations and Maintenance O&M costs include everything for operation and maintenance of a facility. Combined 0&M costs represent a large portion of total agency costs; this is appropriate because O&M are the core functions for each agency. The O&M costs are divided into plant-related costs(consisting of unit processes and associated functions), clerical support costs for the plant, and other O&M function costs(such as fleet services or buildings and grounds maintenance). Performance benchmarking operations costs and maintenance costs were collected separately, but are being evaluated together for each unit process within the facility. The plant operations costs include costs for labor, energy, chemicals, contracts, utilities, materials, and disposal (where applicable)for each unit process. Plant maintenance costs include costs for electricians, mechanics, and instrumentation technicians. Each of these trades is subdivided to provide costs .. (if applicable) for predictive maintenance, preventive maintenance, repairs, parts, and other costs associated with each trade. Operation and Maintenance Cost Centers Both operations costs and maintenance costs have been collected for individual unit processes throughout the treatment plant. Table 3, Summary of Operation and Maintenance Cost Centers, " shows which treatment processes and cost centers are present at each of the participating plants. A brief description of these processes and cost centers follows: • Influent pumping is necessary when incoming wastewater(influent)cannot flow by gravity through the wastewater treatment plant. Centrifugal pumps, mixed flow pumps, or screw pumps are typically used to pump the influent into the plant. .+ • Preliminary treatment occurs as wastewater enters the plant. The purpose of preliminary treatment is to prevent damage to plant equipment(such as pumps) by removing large items, such as branches, grit, and rags. Preliminary treatment usually involves physical processes, .. such as screening, to remove these large items. • Primary treatment follows preliminary treatment. It uses settling and flotation to decrease the load on subsequent biological treatment processes. The wastewater flow is slowed.in .. large tanks called primary clarifiers, which allows suspended solids to settle and be removed, while floatable material (scum) is skimmed from the surface. Some agencies use advanced primary treatment that includes the addition of coagulation chemicals to enhance the removal �r of solids and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). • Secondary treatment is a biological process using microorganisms to metabolize organic matter in the wastewater as food. Wastewater is frequently pumped (pumping to secondary)to a bioreactor where organic matter is aerated. The bioreactors use air (aeration basins)or pure oxygen(oxygen reactor basins)to stimulate cell metabolism and growth. Air-activated sludge and oxygen-activated sludge processes are suspended growth processes in which the growth of microorganisms occurs in an agitated liquid suspension media(mixed liquor). Pure oxygen systems require pure oxygen that may be produced J onsite using an oxygen plant. Some plants use fixed film reactors with a fixed media as a substrate for the growth of microorganisms. The media typically is a porous inert material such as rocks or plastic. Primary clarifier effluent is distributed evenly over the media, and Jthe microbiological mass adhering to the media treats the effluent as it trickles down to the Table 3.

The finishing phase of secondary treatment takes place in secondary clarifiers. Secondary clarifiers slow the flow to allow suspended solids to settle to the bottom and be drawn out as sludge. Floatable material(scum) is skimmed from the surface. Some plants use other secondary processes that do not fall under the above categories. e Residuals handling refers to all processes dealing with the solid matter removed from the .. wastewater during the treatment process. Screenings and grit are removed during preliminary treatment. Scum is removed during primary and secondary treatment. Sludge thickening is necessary to decrease the amount of water in the solids removed from the primary and secondary clarifiers. These thickened solids are then sent to digesters or to other solids handling facilities. Digestion involves the decomposition of organic and inorganic matter in the absence of molecular oxygen. Anaerobic digesters stabilize the solids that have settled out in the clarifiers during primary and secondary treatment. Anaerobic digesters produce gas that can be used beneficially in the plant or sold to a local utility. Biosolids dewatering decreases the amount of liquid in the biosolids and reduces subsequent treatment and handling costs. Belt filter presses, centrifuges, and other devices typically accomplish �+ dewatering. Biosolids disposal/muse refers to the many possibilities for ultimate reuse and/or disposal of the biosolids, such as composting and landfilling. Some plants may use other residuals handling processes not specified above. Many of the biosolids handling processes may require residuals stream odor control processes. e Disinfection is the selective destruction of disease-causing organisms that are present in the wastewater. Disinfection can be accomplished through either chemical agents, such as chlorine or sodium hypochlorite, or through physical agents, such as ultraviolet radiation. Effluent dechlorination often is required to mitigate the adverse effects of chlorinated effluent on aquatic life in the water body to which the treated effluent is discharged. Where �+ chlorine residual limitations are severe, effluent dechlorination must be practiced. Dechlorination typically is achieved by adding a chemical such as sulfur dioxide or sodium bisulfite to the chlorinated effluent stream. a Odor control (liquid stream and residuals stream)occurs throughout the plant, frequently even upstream of the actual plant in the collection system. Odors generated from the . wastewater or its treatment are minimized through any number of processes, such as adding chemicals, installing odor-containing covers, and scrubbing the foul off-gas with wet-or dry- type air scrubbers. e Effluent pumping is required when treated effluent cannot leave the plant by gravity. Large .. centrifugal, mixed flow, screw, or vertical turbine pumps are often used for this purpose. A conveyance structure or pipeline called an outfall caries the treated effluent to the receiving waters. r e Auxiliaries/utilities includes all processes and systems that are not specific to any single unit process. Plant water or plant instrument air systems are examples of the auxiliary/utility cost center. e Automated control systems refer to the various computer and automation systems used for monitoring and control at the plant. e Tertiary treatment/reclamation is an advanced treatment process that produces a high- quality effluent for discharge into receiving waters. A typical process involves treating secondary effluent with chemicals to improve coagulation and flocculation, then allowing the effluent to percolate through a filtration tank consisting of finely-divided media such as sand, anthracite, or layers of both. .. Multi-Agency Benchmarkfng Project 13 January 12, 1999 u Technical Memorandum • CAMS(Computerized Maintenance Monitoring System) costs include everything associated with maintaining and monitoring the CMMS, which is used to assist in tracking and planning maintenance activities. • Water reclamation/conservation is a tertiary treatment process that produces a high-quality y effluent for purposes such as landscape irrigation, agricultural irrigation and/or industrial reuse. Some reuse regulations require effluent filtration to achieve target effluent coliform L and/or turbidity requirements. • Power generation uses digester gas, a byproduct of the anaerobic digester process, as a source of energy. Inherently high in methane content, digester gas lends itself well to L energy/resource recovery efforts, because it has a typical energy value of approximately 600 Btu per standard cubic foot of gas. Many agencies recapture energy from digester gas by using it as a fuel to drive direct-coupled engine blowers for aeration or for power generation L using engine generators or turbines. Power generation data were considered separately from other O&M data,thus power generation costs and revenues, though briefly discussed under "Operation and Maintenance Process Benchmarking Results," are not included in the average cost for treatment calculations, and the power generation cost center is not included in Table v 3. • Other O&M functions include functions that are related to the plant or wastewater L treatment, but cannot be defined to a single unit process. Functions such as fleet services or building and grounds maintenance are included in this cost center. • Supervision costs include all supervision that cannot be allocated directly to unit processes L within the treatment plant. • Clerical support at the treatment plant is broken out separately. Operation and Maintenance Cost Comparisons Table 4, Operation and Maintenance Costs, shows the average cost and the range of costs of L O&M at all facilities. The first five unit processestcost centers(biosolids disposal/reuse, other O&M functions, dewatering, disinfection, and plant supervision)constitute almost half of all O&M costs. Note that the average cost presented is normalized by the flow entering the plant V regardless of flow through the specific unit process. The final report will include a more detailed analysis of the data collected for the O&M cost centers. j u Operation and Maintenance Process Benchmarking Results Process benchmarking data have been collected using surveys created for each of the following L 14 process area topics: laboratory analysis, new technology development, automation, energy, information management, transition from capital project to operating system, predictive L maintenance, off-shift staffing, combined operations and maintenance, workforce flexibility/skill-based pay, labor-management relations,biosolids reuse and disposal, fleet services, and year 2000 (Y2K)compliance. L Discussions of the costs and process benchmarking results have identified the following key O&M Work Group findings: L Preliminary Treatmentlinfluent Pumping. Some agencies find that consideration of operations and maintenance costs during facility design can reduce agency costs.

Primary Treatment. Deep primary clarifiers and chemical addition are used by some agencies to optimize their primary treatment process. • Some agencies find that deep primary clarifiers lead to better performance. The bottom of the clarifiers can be used to thicken the primary sludge. r r Multi-Agency Benchmarking Project 75 January 12, 1999 L Technical Memorandum Some agencies find that chemical addition leads to better BOD and total suspended solids (TSS)removal. Primary sludge of up to 5 percent solids is attained at facilities adding chemicals to its primaries. Secondary Treatment. Energy-saving strategies are key in reducing secondary treatment costs, V while diffuser technology and secondary clarifier design significantly affect performance. • Some agencies find that for oxygen-activated sludge systems, converting from submerged turbines to surface aerators results in lower energy costs. Additionally, there is evidence that V cycling the surface aerators to match changes in diumal flows and loads can save energy without compromising treatment performance. • Some agencies find that for am-activated sludge systems, converting to fine bubble diffusers V and blowers with variable inlet guide vanes and outlet diffusers can maximize energy savings. I • Some agencies recommend that secondary clarifiers be designed with sufficient depth L' (20 feet minimum)to improve performance. • Some agencies recommend separating mixing zones from aeration zones to promote selector Jr zone technology. Tertiary TreatmentNVater Reclamation. Discussions on tertiary treatment and water reclamation were limited and did not produce any significant findings. it Disinfection and Dechlorination. Some agencies find that better instrumentation can be used to improve chemical dosing and reduce chemical expenditures. They also use alternative v disinfection and dechlorination control technology such as oxidation-reduction potential probes. Odor Control. Discussions on odor control led to a commitment to spend time on this subject in future phases of the project. Digestion. Key findings related to digestion include ways to reduce grit and foam in the digesters. • Some agencies find that the amount of grit in the digesters can be reduced by ensuring that equipment and systems are properly designed and by removing grit further upstream in the j plant. u • Some agencies reduce foaming in the digesters by installing fixed covers, using longer detention times with reduced temperatures, and making adjustments to the secondary V processes. Dewatering. The use of new technology and careful selection of equipment are important factors in maintaining an efficient dewatering process. V • Some agencies use state-of-the-art technology(for example, high-solids centrifuges) for dewatering to produce a drier cake. This reduces disposal costs, especially for those agencies requiring significant truck hauling. u • Some agencies obtain better results by pumping dewatered sludge as opposed to using mechanical conveyors. The advantages of pumping dewatered sludge are as follows: 1) odors are completely enclosed; 2) difficult maintenance on enclosed conveyor belts is eliminated; and 3)the pumps are more reliable than conveyors. Some agencies find that if conveyor belts are selected, the length of conveyance should be kept to a minimum. If using w high-cake centrifuges, a conveyance method must be selected carefully. The chute slope into the hoppers should be steep to minimize bridging. L Technical Memorandum Biosolids. Planning, testing, promoting long-term partnerships, and producing biosolids with a ., high solids content are important in keeping biosolids disposal/reuse program costs down in an environment heavily influenced by changing regulations. • The lowest cost agencies use biosolids disposal technologies that other agencies may not be able to use because of land restrictions, permitting considerations, or neighborhood concerns. • Some agencies have a plan for a diverse biosolids disposal/reuse program. The plan might include, for example,jurisdictional diversity for land application sites, or multiple `+ disposaltreuse options. • Some agencies reduce costs by seeking multiple bidders for hauling and application of biosolids. • Some agencies use sludge lagoons to reduce mass, increase quality, and to allow seasonal land application. It appears that the low-cost agencies incinerate or use biosolids onsite. Both strategies reduce truck hauling costs. Power Generation/Energy. Discussions on power and energy indicate that there is a cost benefit to having the ability to generate power onsite. Automation. Some agencies use automation in various aspects of plant operation to reduce costs. • Some agencies use standardized process control as a means to reduce costs associated with training and warehousing multiple parts. • Some agencies include automation considerations during capital projects to reduce off-shift staffing requirements. • Some agencies use a"hot backup" for critical control systems. Predictive/Preventive Maintenance. Some agencies use the following potential strategies for operating a predictivelpreventive maintenance program: • Assign predictive maintenance to complex equipment only. • Operate equipment until it fails if there is redundancy in equipment or if the cost of equipment is minimal. • Design a corrective maintenance program. • Coordinate inventory with the maintenance program. • Determine when life-cycle replacement may be more cost-effective than preventive maintenance. Off-Shift Staffing. Some agencies have flexibility in the form of off-shift staffing and use innovative ways to communicate information between shifts. • Several agencies have found that having a relief operator is more economical than paying .. overtime. Agencies with relief operators pay a premium to those operators. • Some agencies are moving towards electronic billboards to transfer information between .. shifts. Combined 08M Staff. Combining O&M staff is a complicated issue for those agencies with different certification requirements for O&M personnel. One approach is to keep O&M separate, but to have O&M personnel work together as a business unit on specific projects. r L Technical Memorandum L Working together encourages cooperation but does not require cross-training of personnel. Alternatively, maintenance personnel could be certified with a lower grade operator license. V Transition from Construction to Ownership. Involvement in the predesign process and training are key to a smooth transition from construction to ownership. L • Several agencies believe that it is important to involve O&M staff in the predesign process and have dedicated personnel to take the project from design through construction. This encourages coordination of construction and operation issues. V • Some agencies find that a key factor in startup is training given by the staff involved in the process, rather than by a manufacturer's representative. Staff training is more credible and L more appropriate for personnel involved in day-to-day operations and maintenance. Administration L The Administration Work Group was assigned to collect the administrative and miscellaneous costs not specifically identified in any of the other templates. The group also conducted process benchmarking in an attempt to identify best practices that could be adopted by other agencies to L improve service and/or cost effectiveness. Though the administrative departments of each of the Multi-Agencies have similar responsibilities, differences in organizational structure, systems, and procedures all significantly affect costs and business practices. y Organizational factors, such as whether an agency is a single-or dual-purpose utility or part of a larger governmental structure with differing numbers of layers between the wastewater function L and the governing body, make a significant difference in the ability of wastewater staff to make business changes. These factors also influence the ability of agencies to have complete control over costs. Unlike other work groups, such as the O&M Work Group,which is in control of the L' business to be studied, understood, and improved, the Administration Work Group focused primarily on documenting costs and practices. Raw and normalized cost data for each of the major functional areas were collected and v compared through the performance benchmarking. Process benchmarking information was gathered through process surveys developed for the following areas: payroll, purchasing, L accounts payable, financial information systems, budgeting, training, rates and revenue, bond rating and reserves, and overhead. Process benchmarking discussions and efforts focused on the basic support functions common to all agencies—the people and financial support systems—that L significantly affect day-to-day plant business. Key findings from the administration group include the following: L Purchasing and Accounts Payable At some agencies,the use of credit cards and early payment discounts from vendors have V improved purchasing and accounts payable operations. • Agencies that use credit cards for routine purchasing report advantages including increased L simplicity, efficiency, timeliness, and flexibility for purchasers. Accounting costs are also reduced by eliminating many of the steps and paperwork usually required to purchase items and to process payments. Several agencies that currently do not use credit cards are L considering using them in the future. L Technical Memorandum • Nearly all agencies report problems with timeliness of payment and subsequent problems with vendors. Agreeing upon goals for the percentage of early payment discounts and penalties for not meeting these goals successfully addresses this problem. Payroll All agencies are working toward a modem, integrated payroll system. • Although no agencies currently use one-time entry to feed all information systems, they all consider it a goal. • Every agency currently is implementing or soon will be implementing new payroll systems. • Several agencies have recently tied their payroll systems to the benchmarking template and other agencies are considering doing so. Given that all agencies are implementing new payroll systems, the opportunity is immediate. The question being debated by most agencies is not whether to integrate these systems, but at what level of detail. Internal Service Level Agreements Some agencies secure written agreements with centralized support services to specify the work to be performed and by whom. They also include the expected performance measurements and important milestones in the agreement. The agencies that use this technique recommend it because it improves service and communication. At least one other agency is in the beginning stages of implementing such agreements. Budget Most agencies encourage preparing multi-year rather than annual budgets to avoid the non-value- added work involved in the budgeting process. Because agencies feel that there are usually few significant changes from year to year, there is little value in conducting repetitive annual exercises. Source Control The primary purpose of a source control program is to control discharges of wastewater from non-domestic sources into a public sewer system. An effective program should prevent discharges that could be harmful to people, the treatment works, and the environment. This means that the true measure of success of a source control program is hidden in the treatment and system maintenance costs avoided. In pursuing the goals of a successful source control program, all of the agencies have realized significant decreases in heavy metals concentration entering their plants. This year's study focuses on identifying the tenets of a source control program and determining how the agencies can make meaningful comparisons. In doing so, it lays the foundation for future work, which would include both process benchmarking and fine-tuning of the performance benchmarking. The following are the key findings from the Source Control Work Group:' t Source control data and findings do not necessarily reflect or apply to CCCSD,which was unable to provide data for source control functions. Technical Memorandum ' L Program Differences L The cost of a source control program, in terms of both dollars and labor, is affected more by the fundamental discretionary decisions that determine how a source control program shall operate than by individual process improvements capable of leading to greater efficiency. These L discretionary decisions include which companies a program chooses to regulate, how often it inspects and samples its companies, how it enforces, how much effort it devotes to pollution prevention, and whether the program is the basis of rate development and implementation for all U users. These decisions are rooted in the basic environmental ethics of the communities served by the source control programs, and thus are difficult to change. The agency that wishes to find significant efficiencies in its source control program must pursue a thoughtful and thorough LI analysis of the cost and benefits of its actions, and include input from various stakeholders in its decisions. In some cases, changes may not be possible as major modifications to industrial pretreatment programs require approval from the oversight agency, such as the state or Environmental Protection Agency. Outside Factors Factors beyond the direct control of the agencies, such as National Pollutant Discharge I Elimination System(NPDES)limits(or other applicable limits)and amount of scrutiny by the L oversight agency can significantly affect the cost of source control programs. Some of these factors can be influenced;therefore, source control managers should be active participants in I NPDES negotiations. L Data Management L A comprehensive, integrated data management system can provide efficiencies in data management, permitting and violation tracking, and reporting. Only one agency has such a system,but all agencies either have partial systems or are in the process of developing one. L Reducing Violations L. Enforcement actions can be extremely time-consuming for a source control program and reducing the number of enforcement actions by increasing company compliance may improve efficiency. Some agencies employ user-friendly procedures, such as creating customized reporting forms and compliance calendars and calling companies with reminders. Eliminating limits on compounds that do not affect the treatment plant or water quality can also reduce ; violations. L Staffing Efficiencies I . Further analysis of sampling and inspection practices may point to some best practices that could b reduce labor requirements for these activities at some agencies. • Some agencies collectsamples for surcharge and compliance separately and may improve efficiency by concurrent sampling so that only one trip meets both needs. • Some agencies use teams rather than individuals to perform inspections and/or sampling and may be able to use their resources more effectively by using individuals instead. LJ • Some agencies combine sampling and inspection events, which may increase efficiency. u Technical Memorandum • Some agencies rely more on company self-monitoring and less on agency monitoring, which .. may lead to efficiencies through reduced agency efforts on monitoring and reduced violations as companies take more responsibility for their discharge. Laboratory Laboratories from three additional agencies that are not participating in the Multi-Agency Benchmarking project have joined in a larger laboratory benchmarking effort. The laboratories from the seven Multi-Agencies compiled data for the laboratory portion of the template, and all ten of the laboratories completed a process benchmarking survey. The larger laboratory group is also working on an extensive cost per test comparison spreadsheet, and they have developed tables to compare factors such as staffing, salaries, benefits, workload, and laboratory organizational structure. .. The management of municipal environmental laboratories has undergone significant changes during the past 10 years. The laboratory managers participating in this study agreed that they face increased pressure to provide cost-effective service, meet higher expectations from -• customers, deal with expanded regulatory requirements, and handle a greater complexity of work (for example, lower detection limit requirements). The managers have responded by making their operations more efficient, more cost competitive with the private sector, and more responsive to their customers' needs and requirements. The Multi-Agency Benchmarking project is helping the laboratory component of the wastewater industry to meet these challenges by enabling agencies to share information and identify opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of laboratory operations. The major findings of the Laboratory Work Group include the following: Customer-Imposed Workload Versus Laboratory Efficiency The interagency variation of flow-normalized laboratory costs is influenced by two factors: `+ 1) volume and type of work requested, and 2) laboratory efficiency. Performance indicators over which the laboratory maintains control include: 1)time required to do each analysis; 2)percent rework; 3)turnaround time; 4) number of tests per instrument and analyst; and 5)the number of samples lost or that exceed holding times. The Laboratory Work Group observed that the volume and type of work requested by the customer has a greater impact on cost variation than factors characterized as laboratory efficiency. Therefore,the cost differences among the agencies for given categories such as discretionary monitoring or source control need to be accounted for by the customer group responsible for the category. Heightened Communication with Customers In line with the customer focus noted in the first observation, heightened communication with �+ the customer enables laboratories to maximize efficiencies and performance while minimizing cost and unnecessary work. For example, optimizing batch size and sample scheduling makes the most efficient use of laboratory resources, thereby reducing the cost per test. This can be accomplished by integrating the laboratories' knowledge of relative analytical costs and scheduling efficiencies into a monitoring plan developed through joint laboratory-customer decisions. Some of these decisions include the analytical methods used, level of quality assurance required, sampling frequency, numbers of analyses needed, batch size, and reporting requirements. r Technical Memorandum L Benchmarking Lab Performance To analyze the cost efficiency of laboratory operations, the Laboratory Work Group developed a L cost model to isolate comparable components of the laboratories' budgets. They delineated the laboratories' work by test(defined by method), and then adjusted the portions to include the overhead according to average salary costs for the four major lab areas (metals, organics, biology, and conventional chemistry). The resulting spreadsheet compares cost,time per test and numbers of tests by method for all of the agencies. This information will be used to determine L the efficiencies among various methods, such as automated versus manual procedures, as well as efficiencies between laboratories using the same methods. L Lab Capacity and Sample Volume Comparisons Calculating the annual number of analyses required to yield 250 analyses per staff per month can I provide an interesting comparison, This measure assumes that all analyses are equivalent and all positions including support staff are counted. However,these figures should be carefully considered in the context of the fact that times per test range from a few minutes to several days. Li By using the time per analysis component of the unit cost spreadsheet, it is possible to make quantifiable comparisons between the mixtures of short timeframe tests. This information can then be used to determine optimal batch size and labor resource efficiencies. The consensus L among the laboratories is that the more closely the sample volume matches the optimal capacity, the more efficient the laboratory. L Summary and Conclusions The final steps in this phase of the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Project include preparing the L final report. The final report will consist of an executive summary and a chapter from each work group that details the group's findings and the best practices they have determined from the current data. Several years of data will be necessary to track any changes implemented and reap the full benefit of the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Project. The current phase of the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Project delivers a number of benefits to L the Multi-Agencies and leads to important conclusions: • Discussions have resulted in valuable information. Extensive discussion has enabled each of the work groups to gain insight into their processes and practices. Learning how others run their business and how to apply these lessons to other plants is one of the most worthwhile aspects of the project. L • Detailed tracking and allocation of costs is advantageous. Some agencies can track and allocate all of their costs to specific cost centers. They also can distinguish core activity costs from non-core activity costs. This enables them to more clearly evaluate the budgetary effects of providing value-added services to customers, and to set policy accordingly. • Low cost does not always correlate to high efficiency. Cost must be weighed against other applicable factors. • Agencies are affected by factors out of their immediate control. The low-cost agency for any given process frequently enjoys a unique operational environment not available to others. • Careful tracking of resources is beneficial. Some agencies are better at tracking and delineating resources, both internal and external. Internal service agreements between L Technical Memorandum departments, for example, increase communication and understanding. External agreements should clearly assign and allocate responsibility between the agency and contractor. • Keeping abreast of the latest technologies and practices is important. Some agencies constantly track and evaluate new technologies and business practices to determine their potential cost-effectiveness. • Agencies can benefit from clear communications. Some agencies have clearer communications procedures. Staff at these agencies better understand their agency's purpose and goals, and how their individual actions contribute toward these goals. Recommendations Recommendations for improvements at the Multi-Agencies include the following: • Develop or modify accounting or financial information systems. Make changes to enable agencies to use activity-based budgeting and tracking. Continue tracking costs, as this shows staff how their actions affect operational costs. • Review higher-than-average costs. Determine the reason for the high costs and whether they can be reduced. • Investigate the possibility of joint studies, Agencies can benefit from joint studies in which they share the work and cost of evaluating altemative technologies and practices. • Share past experiences. Agencies should continue to share lessons learned to eliminate duplication of effort and repetition of mistakes. • Evaluate the effects of power deregulation. Agencies need to stay informed about the potential changes in the electrical power industry to benefit fully from the trend toward deregulation. Recommendations for the next phase of the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Project include the a following: • Continue the work of the four new work groups. The Laboratory, Administration, Capital Programs Engineering, and Source Control Work Groups that were formed this year should proceed with their work next year. New groups require a first-year learning curve before the full benefit of their work can be achieved. • Consider creating additional work groups. The Steering Committee may wish to create new work groups to focus on the following: - Capital projects and O&M. Concentrate on the effects of capital improvements on facility operating costs and determine ways to incorporate life cycle cost analysis in capital planning. Also examine cost of capital improvements (planning, predesign, design, construction, and asset replacement) and ways to contain these costs. - Labor-management relations. Address this as an issue that affects the entire organization, rather than solely as an O&M issue. - Odor and air issues. A complicated topic due to the fact that odor and air costs cannot be allocated to a single process because treatment takes place at different locations �— throughout the plant. Furthermore, odor control processes affect other unit processes. - Environmental compliance. .• - Information technology. u Technical Memorandum u • Discuss potential new revenue streams. Research how other municipal agencies generate revenue, and determine if any of these methods can be used by the Multi-Agencies. r • Consider tracking costs by plant. Determine whether it would be beneficial to track costs by plant for those agencies with more than one plant. If so, determine an accurate method of allocating shared overhead costs among the plants. V • Continue refining benchmarking tools. The Multi-Agencies should work together to improve existing benchmarking tools and create new ones in order to make the most accurate comparisons: — Refine the process benchmarking surveys and analysis to reflect lessons learned from this phase of the project. 'IL — Develop tools to assess the effects of decisions by participating agencies to change or modify business practices based on findings from this project. • Begin tracking trends. The next phase of the project will allow the Multi-Agencies to L compare data between fiscal years and track the effects of recently implemented changes. • Perform benchmarking against privately operated utilities. Comparisons to privately- owned utilities may reveal additional ways that the Multi-Agencies could cut costs and L operate more efficiently. L L L L i L L I L 6J u STATE OF CALIFORNIA) ) SS.
