Under the proposal any stockpiling on Chino Valley farmland would end, costing Midway Ccy farmers millions in hauling costs. (By Leslie Berkman, The Press-Enterprise, 3131199) Water District. Chino Valley dairies would be required to spend up to $8 million per year to haul away Irvine Ranch manure under a staff proposal released Tuesday by a state agency. In a move bound to generate controversy among the valley's 270 dairy fanners, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board is considering a proposal that all manure be removed from dairies in southwestern San Bernardino County and northwestern Riverside County in the Santa Ana River basin. The board is entrusted with protecting water quality in the basin. -To Protect Me Pack Health and the Etenronmem through Excellence in Wastewater Systems' Members of the Board Page 2 April 21, 1999 Currently about 400,000 of the 700,000 tons of manure produced annually in the region is stockpiled at dairies, spread on pasture land, used as fertilizer or illegally discarded on vacant land, said Kurt V. Berchtold, the board's assistant executive officer. The rest, he said, is composted and sold to fertilizer manufacturers and other users in other parts of Southern California. The staff proposal also would end the stockpiling of manure at the dairies by requiring that manure cleared from corrals be hauled away within 90 days. Some dairy representatives questioned the feasibility of the proposal, including the ability of dairies to find a market for all the manure. John Borges, an Inland Empire representative of Western United Dairymen, said the proposal, if adopted by the board of the state regulatory agency, would be "an economic hardship"for the region's dairymen, who already have higher labor, feed and other operating costs than dairymen in California's Central Valley. The board's staff estimates that additional hauling of manure, probably to fanners in the Central Valley, would cost a dairy with about 1,000 cows $40,000 a year. Geoffrey Vanden Heuval, a Chino dairy farmer and a board member of the Milk Producers Council, said he disagrees with the agency staffs contention that chemical fertilizers are preferable to manure for cultivating Chino Valley farms. Berchtold said the agency's staff is taking a hard line because nitrates and other salts in manure are seeping into the groundwater and the Santa Ana River. "Water quality in the southern Chino Basin is bad and getting worse and the groundwater in that area cannot be used for the drinking water supply," Berchtold said. Also, down river water agencies, particularly the Orange County Water District, have complained about the impact of the manure on well water that is pumped for drinking. The agency says it won't allow additional salt discharges into the ground basin without mitigation measures to offset the harm. It has allowed manure to be spread in the valley under the assumption that two desalting plants would be built. Instead, only one desalter is under construction. "No mitigation measures are currently in place to offset the salt loading from manure application within the basin. Therefore, the discharge of manure, and its application as fertilizer, must be prohibited,"the report said. Members of the Board Page 3 April 21, 1999 But Charles Egigian-Nichols, a consultant with the Santa Ana River Watershed Group, whose members include dairies and government agencies, including the regional water quality board, said that under a federal grant, the group has been studying alternative solutions for dealing with manure. Egigian-Nichols said that in mid-May, the group would propose and analyze the economic feasibility of plans ranging from transporting the manure out of the basin to building a plant that would convert manure into methane gas. The water quality control board, meanwhile, is continuing to enforce a 5-year dairy discharge permit that expired March 1. It will hold a public workshop April 9 on the proposed new five-year plan, and on June 6 the agency's governing board is expected to vole on the proposal. Update on July 1998 Newport Beach Sewage Spill In February of this year the RWQCB released a staff report with their findings regarding the release of approximately 120,000 gallons of raw sewage from a District sewer line into Newport Harbor back in July 1998. Board staff concluded in their report that three parties—the contractor, project engineer, and OCSO, shared responsibility for the spill. Since releasing the report, Board staff has continued their evaluation of potentially responsible parties, and, on two occasions, has postponed Board consideration of the matter, citing the need for more time to dig through the issues. This delay has allowed District staff more time to examine our role in the spill. Legal research into the Dig Alert statute reveals that there are actually two ways a utility can comply with the Dig Alert requirements: mark the sewer line in the field, or provide information to the contractor, in the form of"as built" drawings or other plans that clearly locate the line at risk. We have been able to confirm that the contractor had in his possession a set of "as builts," provided by the District, that correctly identified the location of our pipeline in the vicinity of the excavation. We conclude the District complied with its responsibilities under the statute even though District staff did not mark the line in the field in response to the Dig Alert notices sent by the contractor. While a decision on our part to mark the line in the field might have prevented the spill, our failure to do so was not a violation of the Dig Alert statute. Nonetheless, the District's policies and procedures have been enhanced to now require a more aggressive response to Dig Alert notices where a line is at risk. District staff sent a letter to the RWQCB outlining our position. A copy of the letter is enclosed. Members of the Board Page 4 Apnl 21, 1999 Cost of Clean...Meeting Water Quality Challenges in the New Millennium AMSA, the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies, issued a report at the end of March calling for increased federal funding of municipal clean water infrastructure. According to the report, the federal government's contribution to clean water infrastructure is woefully inadequate given today's rising costs and more stringent water quality standards. In the twenty years between 1974-1994 the federal government invested $96 billion in new construction and upgrades of municipal wastewater treatment plants. Local governments matched that spending with an investment of$117 billion. But the tide has shifted since the first decade of the national clean water program when federal and state governments provided more than 60 percent of the construction funds. Today, local governments are now paying 90 percent of the capital investment burden—along with rising operation and maintenance costs. With infrastructure needs projected to be $330 billion over the next 20 years, the message contained in AMSA's report sounds an alarm: "The funding gap is huge and growing, and local governments alone can't pay the cost of clean." AMSA is sending copies of the report to every member of Congress with a letter requesting support for wastewater needs, especially those associated with wet weather. Copies of the report and press release are enclosed. CA Attorney General Expands Probe Into Gasoline Pricing The 51-cent jump in California's retail gasoline prices since late February is benefiting oil companies at the expense of motorists and has prompted state Ally. Gen. Bill Lockyer to widen an investigation into the way gasoline prices are determined. Californians buy about 38 million gallons of gasoline a day, so the 51-cent price hike means the state's gasoline users are coughing up $19M more for daily fuel. Yesterday in Sacramento, Lockyer said that he is expanding his antitrust unit's year- old investigation into gasoline pricing to include the latest round of increases at the pump. "The initial investigation suggests that there has been price gouging by the oil companies, and the state should take a more active role in trying to prevent that." Estimates provided by the CEC and LA Times reveal that refinery margins have increased from 22.5 cents to 64 cents on every gallon of CA reformulated unleaded regular since late February(based on Alaskan crude rising from $12.47 to$15 per barel). Members of the Board Page 5 April 21, 1999 A Chevron executive lamented recently that the company often makes more profit selling its plastic toy cars that it gets from a tank of gasoline. In a speech in October to the Concord Rotary Club, Retail Marketing General Manager Dave Reeves said Chevron must"make profits where we Can." LA Times/Sauamento Bee Community Appreciation of Our Odor Control Proaram Last summer the City of Huntington Beach performed some sewer modifications that resulted in one of the Citys lines tying directly into our Bushard interceptor which feeds into Plant No. 2. Shortly after the work was done, OCSD started receiving several calls from residents directly across the street from Plant No. 2, complaining about odors. Plant operations staff quickly realized that the odor was not coming from the plant, but rather from the sewer system. At that point the Air Quality and Special Projects Division of O&M and the Collection Division of GSA began investigating possible causes of the odors. Unfortunately, after many hours of investigation and certain modifications to controls in the sewers, the residents were still complaining of odors. OCSD then enlisted the cooperation of the City to conduct a smoke test of the sewer system servicing the affected residents. This smoke test was conducted on March 3. The results of this test revealed that odors were entering the residents home through either a dry water trap in the house or a broken vent pipe. Once this information was made available to the residents they were able to take steps to correct the problems. The residents were extremely appreciative of the persistent efforts and professionalism of OCSD's staff in identifying and resolving the problem (two letters of acknowledgement are attached). Particularly, the residents acknowledged Brian Reed and Marco Polo Velasco of the O&M staff. It is the commitment and dedication of staff like Mr. Reed and Mr. Velasco that enable OCSD to have an excellent relationship with our community. The number of complaints that can be attributed to our treatment processes has, as a result of identifying the above problem, decreased to one at Plant 2 during the past month. Operators continue to address them as they are received and make the necessary changes in process operations. Kenn County Biosolids Ordinance On April 6, 1999, Kem County released its draft biosolids ordinance for public review. The proposed ordinance is intended to replace the interim ordinance now in effect through the end of this year. The draft ordinance provides for the continued application of Class B biosolids on sites subject to the interim ordinance permit or on Members of the Board Page 6 April 21, 1999 sites that have had biosolids applied and obtain a conditional use permit. All other applications of biosolids in Kem County would be limited to Class A material. This means that the approximately 23,000 acres currently permitted under the interim ordinance would be the extent of Class B acreage permitted in Kem County. Overall, this permitted acreage is more than enough to take care of the District's needs along with those of the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, and other smaller districts. The District annually produces about 185,000 tons of biosolids of which approximately 60% are land applied in Kem County. A preliminary review of the draft ordinance by District's staff and other biosolids generators raises some issues of concern that will need to be changed in the final document. Concerns include the inability to transfer permits among sites and zero tolerance for biosolids that contain detectable PCBs or dioxins. Additional proposals in the draft ordinance that may be troublesome until we acquire more information include a prohibition of land application within any 100-year flood plain, and within 1,000 feet from underground water banking areas. Please note that these restrictions are in draft torn and are subject to change. The Generators have a meeting scheduled with Kem County officials to discuss our collective concems. District's staff will submit detailed comments on the proposed ordinance at the Kern County Biosolids Ordinance Advisory Committee Meeting in Bakersfield on April 29, 1999. Kern County has scheduled workshops in Taft, Ridgecrest, Mojave, Bakersfield, and Wasco to get public comments on the draft ordinance. District's staff will attend and report on all of these workshops. It is anticipated that it will take 4 to 6 months to complete the CEQA review and ordinance adoption process. SWRCB Biosolids Land Application General Waste Discharge Requirements EIR The development of a program EIR for the State Water Resources Control Board's (SWRCB) proposed Biosolids Land Application General Waste Discharge Requirements is continuing through this spring. After public scoping meetings in November of last year and completion of a draft General Order in February of this year, the development of a draft EIR for public review is proceeding on schedule. The consultant team working under contract to California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) has developed an administrative draft EIR, which was forwarded to the State Water Resources Control Board and the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards for internal review and comment on April 2, 1999. After modifying the administrative draft document, it is anticipated that a draft EIR will be distributed for full public review in late May or June 1999. The critical environmental issues that the document is addressing include surface and groundwater quality protection, long-term effects on agricultural land, and real or perceived public health threats associated with applying biosolids to cropland in oq Members of the Board Page 7 April 21, 1999 California. The applicability of the EPA Part 503 regulations to biosolids land application in California are also being thoroughly reviewed. Because the proposed General Order is intended for use throughout the state, a wide variety of environmental conditions are being addressed; the statewide approach is intended to facilitate the application process for waste discharge requirements and provide California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance for the widest range of projects possible. The CEQA review process is expected to be completed in May of 2000, allowing the State Water Resources Control Board to take action on the proposed General Order. Update on Assembly Bill 411 AS 411 (Wayne)was signed into law in 1997. This bill requires the Department of Health Services (DHS) to establish uniform statewide bacteria standards for monitoring, posting and closing beaches which have 50,000 or more visitors a year. The intent is to inform swimmers if a beach, or portion of a beach, fails to meet the bacteria health standards. The bill was to take effect April 1, 1999, but implementation has been postponed until May. The major reason for the delay was due to administrative review by the Department of Finance and the state Office of Administrative Law, AS 411 does not impact the District's monitoring program directly. However, it is the intent of the environmental group that sponsored the bill to have the California Ocean Plan (COP) standards mirror those in the bill. Because NPDES permit limits are taken from the COP, changes in permits would be inevitable. Even then such changes would have no direct impact on the District because monitoring for the three specified indicator bacteria groups was added to the 1998 permit, and our current permit limits are more stringent that those in the bill. An indirect impact of AS 411 on the District results from our close working relationship with the Orange County Health Care Agency(OCHCA). The bill allows health care agencies to use other monitoring data to carry out their program. Larry Honeyboume, Director of Water Quality at OCHCA, has asked District's microbiology staff to phone his agency any time that a surfzone sample exceeds an AS 411 standard. This request will require that all microbiology staff be familiar with the standards set in the bill and assume the responsible for calling OCHA seven days a week. News on the Santa Ana River Watershed SARWG's efforts to solve the dairy manure impacts on surface water and ground water quality in our watershed got a new note of support from Congressional Representatives Gary Miller, Loretta Sanchez, and Ken Calvert. All three have indicated their support for a US Department of Agriculture appropriations bill that Members of the Board Page 8 April 21, 1999 would bring additional federal funding to bear on the problem. We have previously received $9.5 million for flood control purposes in FY 97-98 and have general support language for this year, FY 98-99. In upcoming FY 99-00, $5 million each to local flood control projects and manure clean up are proposed. This funding, combined with funding from the County of San Bernardino would help to keep manure out of the creeks that flow to the Santa Ana River. The FY 99-00 request has yet to leave the appropriations committee, but it appears that with the wide spread bipartisan local support the funding now has received, approval is likely to occur. We intend to ask for an equal amount for FY 00-01. 1998's El Nino storms flooded the dairies in the Chino Dairy Preserve and flushed manure off the dairies and down the river. We have been fortunate this winter because rainfall intensity and amounts never reached the levels of the preceding year. There are over 325,000 dairy animals in the Chino Dairy Preserve. Unsewered and only partially managed, this $1 billion per year industry is the single-most important source of water pollution in our watershed. The Regional Water Quality Control Board has begun on public commentary process that will result in new permit requirements for all of the dairies in the watershed. RWQCB staff has proposed some tough requirements that would, among other things, require the dairies to transport all manure out of the Chino area because they would be prohibited from using it for agricultural purposes there. The dairies would also be prohibited from stockpiling manure for more than 90 days. These two measures, if ultimately adopted by the RWQCB this summer, would significantly reduce the amount of salt and nitrates now polluting the watershed. The Sanitation District, SAWPA, and the Inland Empire Utility Agency are working cooperatively on a pilot project that would connect the milking barn washwater from three to six dairies to the Santa Ana River Interceptor(the 'brine line') that starts in San Bernardino County and ends up at our Huntington Beach Plant for treatment and ocean disposal. The washwater has been sampled to characterize its strength. Engineering on the connections is underway. We intend to have the first dairy connected this summer. This pilot program will allow the three agencies to determine the feasibility of sewering some of the dairies and significantly decrease the salt and nitrate entering the Chino Groundwater Basin. SCCWRP "Bight 98" Report On April 9, 1999, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) released a report on a coordinated effort of 22 monitoring agencies, several volunteer groups and the Mexican government to characterize the bacteriological quality of the beaches in the Southern California Bight. The report describes a snapshot of water quality along 690 miles of coastline from Santa Barbara to Ensenada, Mexico. The coastline was divided into high- and low-use sandy beaches, high- and low-use rocky Members of the Board Page 9 April 21, 1999 beaches and those beaches adjacent to water outlets. These beaches were then divided into 100-yard segments, and a representative number of those segments were sampled according to a statistical design. In all, 307 sites were sampled in the region. Results showed that during the five-week study period beginning August 2, 1998, 95% of the beaches met all current and AB 411 bacteria standards. Of the 5% of beaches that failed to meet standards neady 60% of those were adjacent to Flowing water outlets. The study confirmed that with the exception of those beaches impacted by urban runoff overall water quality in the Southern California Bight is very good during the summer months. Construction Change Orders and Claims There have been two articles recently in the L.A. Times concerning construction claims at the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Waste Water Treatment Plant. The paper reports unresolved construction claims of approximately$100 million resulting from the $1.6 billion expansion of the Hyperion Plant. The articles also include information about the cost of settled change orders being more than 25%. The City's contractors are claiming that the plans and specifications were incomplete and insufficient, and that the City did not staff the projects adequately. During the last 12 years, Orange County Sanitation District has been served with three construction claims. A contractor submitted a claim after we terminated a contract. The contractor lost the claim. Several years ago, a contractor submitted a claim requesting compensation of$761,000 for delay costs. The claim was mediated for a settlement of$265,000. Lastly, a claim for extra work and delay costs has recently been submitted and is under review. Our goal is to be at less than 5% for change orders on construction contracts. The change orders on our current projects, which have a contract value of$47.4 million, are at 3.7%. Change orders for the construction industry generally range from 4% to 8%. Update on MTBE In a Los Angeles Times article of March 25, 1999, attached, Assembly Speaker Antonio Vallaraigosa called for a state investigation into the health efforts of gasoline and (methyl-tertiarybutyl ether) MTBE in the Santa Monica Bay and other coastal waters. Since that article was published, Governor Davis has announced that, effective December 31, 2002, MTBE will be phased out as an additive to gasoline in the State of California. Attached to this letter are abstracts on this general subject Members of the Board Page 10 April 21, 1999 resulting from a Web search of the San Jose Mercury News. Similar articles are found in other news sources. Most of the wastewater generated in our treatment area originates from drinking water supplies, and, therefore, it is reasonable to expect MTBE in our wastewater. The Environmental Sciences laboratory undertook a study to determine the concentration of this chemical in Influents from both Plants 1 and 2 as well as in the Final Effluent. The study was conducted for the month of April 1999. Based on comparisons of source material from previous months, concentrations were estimated for July 1998 through March 1999. The influent at Plant 1 ranged from a low of.9 to a high of 13 micrograms per liter of wastewater(ppb or parts per billion). The values for Plant 2 influent ranged from a low of 2.1 ppb to a high of 53 ppb. The Final Effluent ranged from a low of 1.8 ppb to a high of 17 ppb. The concentration of MTBE that is objectionable from the point of view of taste and odor in drinking water is 5 parts per billion. The EPA guideline for health related concems in children is 4 milligrams (4,000 micrograms) per liter of drinking water for an exposure of 1 to10 days or 3 milligrams per liter for longer time exposures. No information could be found on long term environmental exposure to MTBE. The concentration in the final discharge from the District is on the order of 300 to 3000 fold lower than the EPA guideline. Letter of Appreciation from EPA's Office of Intemational Activities We have received a letter from EPA's Office of International Activities thanking us for allowing Ms. Jane Tran, a Source Control project specialist, to participate in two workshops for their program with the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration.

Buena Perk ss Fountain Wiley EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fullermn Bsr sn Gaye Hunongmn Been, OCSD owns and maintains a force main sewer in the vicinity of Pacific Coast "Oe Le Highway ("PCH") and Newport Boulevard, in an alignment with the transitional Hoare L. Pelme vehicle ramp from northbound Newport Boulevard to eastbound PCH. Las Alemtch Ne°Port Bach °range • The OCSD line is approximately 12 feel deep. Placentia Sense Ane SeB&&nw� • Southern California Gas Company ("SCGC") owns and maintains a Turn pressurized gas line in the same approximate alignment as the OCSD sewer. tin°Pen: Y a Linde It was located approximately 3 feet deep. ]•usee of Drense . The City of Newport Beach ("Newport Beach"), as the Lead Agency, and in °nit°ry Districts conjunction with Caltrans, was undertaking a road widening project to expand the width of Newport Boulevard at PCH. OCSD had no involvement or M�� participation in this public works project. weer DIemI•se The road widening project required the gas line of SCGC to be relocated. Irvine Ranch • Newport Beach awarded a construction contract to Brutoco Co., as General Contractor. 'To Prated the Pubhc Heald,and die Enorenment Mmugh E+cellencs in W°sts"te-Systems' Gerard Thibeault Page 2 of 7 April 6, 1999 • Brutoco further awarded a subcontract to Moffat & Nichol Engineers ("M&N") to prepare a utility plan to establish the precise present location and future location of all utilities, including the referenced gas line and the OCSD force main sewer. • Brutoco Co. requested that SCGC move the gas lines. SCGC retained J. L. Stanton Construction Co. to perform the work. Following commencement of the gas line relocation, SCGC and J. L. Stanton Construction Co. brought in Griffin Contract Dewatering to drill for purposes of establishing dewatering wells. • At the request of Brutoco Co., OCSD provided a complete set of"as-built" plans depicting the depth and alignment of its force main sewer, to M&N for their use in preparing the utilities plan. • The OCSD as-built plans have been confirmed as exactly accurate by: (a) Newport Beach's Construction Manager; and (b) OCSD's independent consultant, Bush and Associates, Inc. • M&N inaccurately plotted the OCSD force main on the utilities plan. The utilities plan erroneously showed the alignment to be approximately 6 feet from its actual location. • David Wanderling of M. K. Centennial Engineering, the City's construction manager, and representatives from Brutoco Co., SCGC, and J. L. Stanton walked the site, using the inaccurate M&N utility plan, to select boring and drilling sites, instead of using the "as-built" plans which were in Mr. Wanderling's possession. • Pursuant to legal requirements, Dig Alert notifications were implemented. • OCSD received a Dig Alert Notice at the request of the Contractor, which identified the work as "GAS LINE REPLACEMENT 6 & 8 IN.". It contained no notice of drilling or boring. • OCSD evaluated the Notice in light of knowledge that the OCSD sewer line was 12 feet deep, and the gas line to be relocated was only 3 feet deep, and there was no indication of any boring or drilling. Gerard Thibeault Page 3 of 7 April 6, 1999 • OCSD staff did not respond to the electronically transmitted notices sent by the contractor because the description of the work as a gas line replacement led the staff to the reasonable conclusion that the OCSD force main was not jeopardized by the proposed work. • The Contractor failed to notify OCSD of its new plan to drill or bore, which is a clear violation by the Contractor of the Dig Alert statutory requirements.00SD fully complied with the Dig Alert legal requirements (Government Code Section 4216.3) imposed upon it as the owner of an underground sewer line. It provided detailed, precisely accurate, "as-built" drawings of the location of its pipe, to the Contractor. • OCSD is without fault in this incident. The responsibility for damages resulting from the spill rests with M&N, who erroneously plotted the OCSD line, and the Contractor and others, who failed to comply with the Dig Alert statutes. DISCUSSION The excavation leading to the sewage spill arose from a City of Newport Beach project to widen PCH at Newport Boulevard and to construct a new bridge to carry traffic on Newport Boulevard over PCH. As part of this project, the City's contractor, Brutoco Co., was required to relocate an OCSD force main sewer line and certain gas lines in the area. During the relocation of the gas lines it became apparent to the contractor that dewatering of the area was needed to complete the job. During drilling of dewatering hales, OCSD's force main was struck and the spill occurred. OCSD appreciates Staffs recognition that OCSD's response to the spill was "appropriate and as effective as possible" and that OCSD has revised its Dig Alert response procedures in an effort to improve these internal procedures and ensure that a similar spill does not occur in the future. These improvements are meant to enhance an already effective program and provide an additional level of scrutiny, and do not in any way demonstrate that OCSD's original procedures were unreasonable, ineffective or non-compliant with legal requirements. Rather, the program enhancements are a demonstration of OCSD's commitment to protect the health of the community, an aggressive approach to sewage spill prevention and a high concern for the protection of OCSD's facilities. Gerard Thibeault Page 4 of 7 April 6, 1999 There are, however, several significant inaccuracies in the Staff report which OCSD would like to bring to your attention. It is critical to any culpability analysis to have a full understanding of the Dig Alert statutory structure (California Government Code section 4216 at seq.) which is designed to protect underground utility lines from damage during excavations. Government Code section 4216.3 provides operators of underground utility lines with the option to either. (1) locate and field mark facilities in the area to be excavated or (2) advise the contractor of the location of the operator's underground installations which may be affected by the excavation. The Staff report fails to identify the OCSD legal option to advise the contractor of the location of subsurface installations and, instead, only informs your Board that underground utility operators must locate and field mark their facilities in the excavation area in order to comply with the Dig Alert requirements. By leaving out this information, Staff leaves the impression that OCSD did not comply with the Dig Alert requirements. This conclusion is incorrect. In advance of the project, OCSD provided the "as-built" plans for the force main to Brutoco Co. in order to make this contractor fully aware of the location of this line. As Staff notes, following the spill, OCSD hired a survey firm, Bush & Associates, to verify the accuracy of the "as-built" plans. The force main was located exactly (within 0-6 inches) of where shown on the "as-built" plans. (See Attachment "A") By advising the contractor of the location of the force main, OCSD was in full compliance with Dig Alert requirements. In preparation for the project, Brutoco Co. engaged M&N to create a utility plan, based on OCSD's "as-built" plans and other utility company "as-built" plans. Your Staff recognized the importance of the utility plan when it stated that"[t]he utility plan is used to guide construction activities so as not to interfere with utility services.' Unfortunately, M&N did not accurately plot OCSD's force main on the utility plan, instead locating it approximately 6 feet from the actual alignment, which inaccuracy was not in any way attributable to the OCSD "as-builts." M&N's failure to accurately plot the force main was confirmed by Dave Wanderling of M. K Centennial Engineering, the City's Construction Manager. By notifying the contractor of the actual location of the force main, OCSD complied with the applicable Dig Alert requirements. Additionally, it is important to note that following preparation of the M & N utility plan, David Wanderling of M. K Centennial and representatives of Brutoco Co., SCGC and J. L. Stanton Co. walked the site and used the inaccurate M&N utility plan to select drill sites, instead of using the accurate "as-built" plans (which Gerard Thibeault Page 5 of 7 April 6, 1999 Mr. Wandering acknowledged to the Newport Beach Police Department were in his possession). As OCSD was in compliance with the Dig Alert statutes, Staff is in error, both factually and legally, in its conclusion that OCSD was a significant contributing factor to the spill. OCSD agrees with Staffs conclusion that the inaccuracy of the M&N utility plan, which the contractor relied on in determining the placement of well borings, was a significant factor in the spill. In fact, it is apparent that M&N, Brutoco Co., M. K Centennial Engineering, SCGC, J. L. Stanton Construction Co. and/or Griffin Contract Dewatering were the factual and legal cause of the spill. Absent the inaccuracy in the M&N utility plan and use of the accurate OCSD "as- built" plans, the spill would simply not have occurred. Staffs conclusion that OCSD is culpable and responsible for the spill is incorrect. It would be inappropriate to institute administrative proceedings against OCSD when OCSD's actions were in full compliance with the Dig Alert legal requirements. OCSD was simply not in a position to prevent a spill which occurred when a contractor, in possession of accurate information regarding the location of a force main, mishandles the information and drills at a location where it knows the force main exists. Stated otherwise, OCSD was the victim not the cause of the spill. There is a separate and independent reason why OCSD is not culpable or responsible for the spill. At no time prior to the contractor drilling into the force main was OCSD notified that any boring or drilling for dewatering wells would occur at the site. Dig Alert notices specify the type of excavation to occur. In this case, the Dig Alert notices received by OCSD identified the work to be done as "GAS LINE REPLACEMENT 6 & 8 IN." Under the Dig Alert statutes, notification of the location of underground utility lines is only required for"subsurface installations which may be affected by the excavation." (Government Code section 4216.3) Absent extraordinary conditions, not applicable to this project site, gas lines are located between 36 and 42 inches (3 - 31r4 feet) below ground level. OCSD's force main was located approximately 12 feet below ground level. While Staff acknowledges that the gas line that was being relocated was a "few feet" above the sewer line, Staffs characterization of the distance between the gas lines and the force main does not accurately reflect the actual difference between the depths of these utility lines. OCSD has extensive experience in determining the Gerard Thibeault Page 6 of 7 April 6, 1999 potential impacts of excavations on OCSD sewer lines. Relocation of gas lines located 3-4 feet below ground will not affect a sewer line located 10-12 feet below ground. The additional 6-9 feet, even with a margin for error, provides more than enough distance to ensure that the relocation of gas lines will not impact the sewer line. Simply put, 6-9 feet of compacted dirt is a solid barrier blocking any impact from gas line relocation on a sewer line located 10-12 feet below ground. Apparently, following the time that the gas line relocation commenced, the contractor discovered that dewatering would be required to complete the job. At that point, the contractor decided to drill holes to install dewatering wells. At no time prior to the occurrence of the sewage spill was OCSD notified that drilling or boring for dewatering wells would occur. Obviously this type of drilling is intended to go much deeper than the relocation of gas lines. Although OCSD had fully complied with the Dig Alert statutes for either gas line relocation or drilling dewatering wells by providing the contractor with the "as-built" plans for the force main, notice of drilling or boring would have raised a red flag with OCSD under its then-existing Dig Alert procedures. Knowledge of drilling or dewatering would have generated a site visit by OCSD as an additional safety precaution. The failure by the contractor to notify OCSD of this new excavation was a violation by the contractor of the Dig Alert requirements. In fact, the Legislature has, by statute, specifically placed liability on an excavator when the excavator fails to comply with the Dig Alert statutes. (See Government Code section 4216.7) OCSD disagrees with Staffs conclusions, and the conclusions attributed by Staff to OCSD that OCSD's Dig Alert procedures were inadequate. OCSD acknowledges that marking the line may have provided a secondary and possibly "fail safe" step that, in hindsight, may have prevented the error of the contractor. Certainly, as Staff notes, OCSD has thoroughly reviewed and revised its Dig Alert procedures in order to help prevent any similar occurrence in the future. While OCSD cannot foresee every possible occurrence, we have devised our new procedures to make them as "fool proof" as possible. Further, OCSD has also suggested changes in the Dig Alert statutes in order to prevent similar occurrences. Nonetheless, OCSD was, at all times, in full compliance with the Dig Alert requirements. Staffs reliance on the conclusions drawn by the City of Newport Beach Police Department is also misplaced. It was the City's contractor, construction manager and others, through use of the inaccurate M&N utility plan and the failure to use the accurate OCSD "as-built" plan, who caused the spill. Moreover, while the Newport Beach Police Department may have experience in the investigation of Gerard Thibeault Page 7 of 7 April 6, 1999 accidents and criminal activity, there is no reason to believe that the police department has any experience in analyzing or assessing compliance with Dig Alert statutes. Like the Staff report, the police department report simply does not accurately characterize OCSD's responsibilities under the Dig Alert statutes. Therefore, reliance on the police report as a basis to conclude that OCSD is culpable, is in error. CONCLUSION In summary, OCSD complied with the Dig Alert requirements by providing accurate "as-built" plans for the force main to the contractor responsible for the project. Despite having this accurate information, the contractor, through M&N, created an inaccurate utility plot plan which was used for locating all underground utility lines in the area, including during the drilling of the dewatering wells. Therefore, any culpability and responsibility for this sewage spill rests with M&N, Brutoco Co., M. K. Centennial Engineering, SCGC, J.L. Stanton Construction Co. and/or Griffin Contract Dewatering, not OCSD. la/Robert P. Ghirelli Robert P. Ghirelli, D.En-v Director of Technical Services RPG:mcm CITEMP\Spill LetlBn-25-99.d= Enclosure The Cost of Clean: Questions & Answers The following Questions and Answers provide essential background information on wastewater infrashucture's role in the nation's clean water program. 1. What do wastewater treatment plants do? Wastewater treatment plants, or publicly owned treatment works(POTWs),treat domestic and industrial sewage to levels that ensure public health and the biological integrity of the waters that receive discharges from these facilities. The end product is highly treated water discharged to water bodies and biosolids,both of which must meet stringent federal standards. 2. What are the most common water quality problems or impairments, and where do they come from? Water quality impairments come in the form of pollution discharged to streams or the destruction of aquatic life habitat. Sedimentation,excess nutrients,and bacteria most commonly impair rivers and streams, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's(EPA)national survey of water quality,which was reported to Congress last year. Before the Clean Water Act (CWA),pollution problems were most often associated with"point sources,"discharges from heavy industrial facilities and sewage treatment plants. But after almost 30 years of CWA implementation,pollution from these sources is under control. Now,new water quality challenges confront the country. For instance,municipal and industrial stormwater runoff and concentrated animal feeding operations must now meet tough new standards. And in the future, federal, state, and local governments will be turning their attention to difficult-to-control "nonpoint source"water pollution in urban and nual areas caused by runoff from city streets, agricultural fields,timber harvests,road building,pastures or runoff from other rural lands. 3. What is the federal Clean Water Act? The federal CWA, enacted in 1972 as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, establishes a national program to restore and maintain the quality of the nation's waters. Point sources of pollution are regulated under the Act while state programs for rumpoint sources are subject to federal funding and technical assistance. The CWA authorized states to establish water quality standards, subject to federal review and approval,to protect public health or welfare and improve the quality of the water. These standards are translated into permit limits,which are issued to municipal and industrial dischargers. Under the CWA,discharges to waters of the United States are illegal without these permits,which ensure that the wastewater discharges present no risk to human health and the environment. 4. What role does the CWA play with respect to POTWs? POTWs are considered point sources and,therefore,must meet federally approved state water quality standards in their CWA discharge permits,which are issued by EPA or delegated states under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES). When it was first enacted and for 15 years thereafter,the CWA established and maintained the Wastewater Construction Grants program to help fund the construction of POTWs to comply with federal requirements. The 1987 amendments replaced the grants with the State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF)program. 5. What was the Wastewater Construction Grants Program? The Wastewater Construction Grants Program was established in title 11 of the 1972 CWA as one of two methods—the other,federal regulation—for improving sewage treatment and water quality in the United States. Grant funding was available to local governments for the construction of POTWs with the water treatment technology to meet federal requirements. 6. What is the State Revolving Loan Fund(SRF)program? The SRF program was established by Congress to replace the Construction Grants Program in the 1987 Amendments to the CWA. States must match the federal capitalization grant with 20 percent in state funds. While it remains a federal grant program, funds are granted to states to provide loans at reduced interest to local government construction of clean water facilities to meet federal CWA requirements. A source of local funds must be available to repay SRF loans which are then added to state funds for making subsequent loans. 7. What is the Administration's policy for future capitalization of SRFs? The Administration's stated policy is to capitalize the clean water SRFs through federal grants and repayments so that the funds collectively revolve at$2.0 billion in FY1996 dollars. The Administration also seeks to capitalize state safe drinking water SRFs so that they revolve at $500 million annually. EPA management has stated that this goal has been essentially reached but that the Administration will continue to request capitalization appropriations while in office. EPA and other important clean water partners have recognized the importance of beginning a dialogue on future funding. 8. What does the term"publicly owned treatment works" include? Under the federal Clean Water Act,POTWs are not just the wastewater treatment plants themselves. They include a wide array of other infrastructure necessary for collecting, transporting and treating wastewater containing domestic or sanitary sewage and sludge or biosolids resulting from the wastewater treatment process. While the term"clean water inframucture'includes facilities to control combined sewer overflows(CSOs) from combined sanitary and storm sewer systems and separate sanitary sewer overflows(SSOs),these facilities are not considered as POTWs. Both CSOs and SSOs result from storm events,which cause high volumes of water that overflows from older sewage collections systems. 9. What are municipal separate storm sewer systems? Municipal separate storm sewer systems collect,treat and discharge stormwater generated by rain events. Stormwater control systems are located primarily in urban and urbanizing areas to rho Cost of Clean: Questions & Answers 2 control flooding and prevent property damage. 10. What are nonpoint sources of water pollution? Nonpoint sources of water pollution, also called polluted nmoff,result from rainfall that runs off the land and into waterbodies. This runoff can carry with it sediments, nutrients,bacteria, chemicals or metals. Nonpoint sources are not conveyed by a pipe and,therefore,are not strictly regulated by CWA discharge permits. Rather,they are diffuse,difficult to control sources of water pollution that run off farmland,pastures,construction sites,parking lots or timberland. Nonpoint source pollution can be diminished by land management practices such as wetlands preservation and construction; careful application of fertilizer and manure to crops; street sweeping;and soil erosion controls. 11. Does EPA regulate nonpoint sources? The Clean Water Act does not authorize EPA to directly regulate nonpoint sources of pollution in rural or urban areas through the use of discharge permits. The regulation of nonpoint source pollution is left to state and local governments under state law. The primary federal approaches to nonpoint sources are cost sharing and technical assistance through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and through EPA-funded state nonpoint programs under section 319 of the CWA. The present Administration's 1995 CWA reauthorization proposals sought legislation for EPA to have backup authority to regulate nonpoint sources where states fail to act. 12. Does EPA regulate animal feed lots? EPA regulates large feedlots or animal feeding operations(AFOs)as point sources of pollution under the NPDES permit program. The Agency is developing a technology based federal effluent standard for AFOs which would include a set of best management practices based on the number of animals or environmental impacts of the facilities. Small animal feeding operations will be regulated by states as nonpoint sources. Many state legislatures have enacted legislation to bring AFOs under some level of regulation because of widespread concern over the water quality problems associated with large volumes of untreated animal waste from"factory farms." 13. What are wet weather sources? Generally,wet weather sources such as CSOs, SSOs,stormwater systems and nonpoint sources are episodic, short-term discharges generated by rainstorm events. CSOs, SSOs and stormwater can be controlled by transport or treatment facilities,best management practices(BMPs)or a combination of both. Nonpoint sources in rural areas can be controlled by the implementation of BMPs such as improved,"no-tillage"practices on agriculture land;buffer strips to prevent polluted runoff and erosion;or wetlands construction. 14. What makes clean water infrastructure so expensive? The Cost of Clean: Questions d Answers 3 A variety of factors contribute to the high cost of clean water infrastructure. First, construction of wastewater treatment and transport facilities is heavy construction requiting site preparation, poured concrete and steel structures,and major piping,pump and other hydraulic machinery. Second, treatment facilities particularly require significant technology to use biological, chemical and hydraulic control aspects of sewage treatment based on site-specific characterizations of wastewater and in order to meet water quality standards. Third,wastewater treatment includes treatment and handling of sewage sludge known as biosolids. Fourth,these highly sophisticated facilities require electronic and other related control systems to ensure cost- effective operation and some redundancy of operation to ensure reliability and to protect public health and the environment. 15. Is clean water infrastructure a good investment? Clean water infrastructure is a necessary public health and environmental investment, and a sound economic investment. Construction of wastewater facilities is among the highest generators of jobs for all infrastructure categories. Each$1 billion in sewer improvements generates over 57,000 direct and indirect jobs. By comparison, total job creation by highway and road construction is estimated to be approximately 34,000, for each$1 billion. In addition to public health and environmental benefits,wastewater facilities provide major contributions to public and private productivity. Research indicates that public investments in these facilities improve: competitiveness for American industry;private profitability, and wages,which in turn yield higher tax revenues to governments. 16. What sewage treatment and collection facilities are required by the CWA? The Clean Water Act requires POTWs,CSOs,and storm water discharge facilities to meet state water quality standards in order to protect designated uses of water bodies for human health, aquatic life or other beneficial uses. POTWs must at a minimum meet technology requirements defined by EPA regulations as"secondary treatment_" Secondary treatment removes organic matter in wastewater that,if discharged,might lower oxygen levels in receiving waters. CSO's must comply with NPDES permits issued using the guidelines in the EPA CSO Control Policy. These guidelines provide for compliance with nine minimum controls and best professional judgement reviews for best available technology or best control technology. CSOs must also comply with the presumptive approach to meeting water quality standards,defined as the equivalent of primary clarification, or the demonstration approach,plus disinfection. To meet these requirements, local governments owning POTWs or CSOs must construct these facilities. 17. How have federal clean water requirements for local governments changed? Initially, EPA required local governments with POTWs to construct and implement"secondary treatment,"which is defined as the best available control technology. This step was costly,but with significant levels of federal grant funding, it resulted in a major nationwide improvement in wastewater treatment and water quality. Over the past decade,regulatory requirements expanded from secondary sewage treatment,to compliance with water quality based treatment The Cost of Clean: Questions & Answers 4 requirements at sewage treatment plants; control of CSOs and then SSOs; implementation of BMPs and other controls for stormwater systems to comply with NPDES permits established for stormwater facilities under the 1987 CWA amendments. 18. What are the currently estimated clean water infrastructure costs? Clean water infrastructure costs reported by WEF and AMSA in the 1999 Cost of Clean total at least$330 billion for new facilities including those required to meeting the enforceable requirements of the federal CWA. In addition to this staggering need, local governments must continue to pay for the operations and maintenance of their facilities,which is predicted to rise at an average of 3.8 percent per year over the next 20 years. 19. What clean water infrastructure needs did EPA last report? EPA's 1996 Needs Survey reported$139.5 billion in wastewater infrastructure needs based on eligible costs under the CWA. On March 18, 1999,however,EPA released preliminary,revised estimates that indicate$199.6 billion in wastewater needs over 20 years. This recent revision substituted$81.9 billion in SSOs reported by the EPA Sewer System Overflow Study for$10.3 billion in previously reported sewer infiltration and inflow correction estimated needs. The Agency currently reports on the following needs: $44.0 billion for remaining secondary treatment and advanced treatment for attainment of water quality standards;$21.6 billion for new collector and interceptor sewers; $44.7 billion for CSOs; and$7.4 billion for stormwater. 20. How were the needs in The Cost of Clean determined? Total needs were the sum if three components: (1)EPA's needs estimates from their 1996 Needs Survey, (2)operations and maintenance costs projected over the next 20 years based on historical actual municipal expenditures,and(3)costs to replace aging wastewater infrastructure,which are not counted in EPA's Needs estimates. 21. Is The Cost of Clean different from EPA' Needs Survey? How? Yes, the AMSA/WEF Needs Survey is different from EPA's Needs Survey because EPA's Needs Survey counts only municipal wastewater expenditures that are needed to comply with the Clean Water Act and are eligible for funding under Title VI of that Act. Under this definition of needs, which is mandated by language in the Clean Water Act,EPA does not count most needs to replace infrastructure—particularly collection systems—or needs to operate and maintain wastewater infrastructure. These are real costs that municipalities must pay for. 22. How are replacement costs calculated? Wastewater assets were assumed to be replaced once they exceeded their useful lives. Historical data on municipal expenditures for wastewater capital facilities like treatment plants,collection The Cost of Clean: Questions & Answers 5 systems, and pumping stations and other fixed assets like vehicles,machinery,and equipment were accumulated into annual values of total capital stock—essentially the value of the nation's wastewater infrastructure. These estimates of capital stocks or capital"assets"were then depreciated by asset class,according to average lives within each class—50 years for sewers and collection systems,25 years for treatment facilities,and 10 years for other assets(one 27- year depreciation period averaged across the mix of assets"in the ground"over the past several decades). Antral costs of replacement,then,is equal to annual values of depreciation. 23. How are SRF's counted in The Cost of Clean? Why? The Cost of Clean estimates investment needs over the next 20 years,independent of the way that any investment might be financed. So,the needs estimate,per se,does not deal with SRF funding,just as it does not deal with any other type of financing litre municipal bonds,state grants or pay-as-you go financing of operation costs or capital facilities. However,the AMSA/WEF analysis does examine the historical role that SRF financing has played in helping to meet the overall financing needs of the nation's municipal wastewater systems and has included federal SRF capitalization grants to states in charts that depict the relative role of federal and local financing of wastewater treatment facilities over time. 24. Is EPA conducting a study on the funding gap? EPA is conducting a Needs Gap Study which will identify the difference between wastewater facility needs and present expenditures. Recently released preliminary figures suggest that EPA will substantially revise its 1996 needs estimate of$139.5 billion. Most expect EPA's revised figures to approximate the estimates in AMSA and WEF's The Cost of Clean. 25. What information should future needs surveys obtain? EPA's Needs Gap Survey should report on all clean water infrasmrcture needs from the local government perspective,not just those eligible under the original grants program because local governments and their sewer ratepayers must meet all needs to ensure reliable service as well as compliance with the CWA. The survey should also quantify the funding necessary to reduce nonpoint source pollution, the country's major contributor to water pollution. 26. Are there other estimates of CSO control costs available? The 1996 EPA estimate of CSO needs for 1100 CSO communities is $44.7 billion was based on needs identified in NPDES permits plus needs modeled by EPA. Actual municipal costs to meet the EPA CSO Control Policy may be significantly higher. Moreover,additional costs to meet best available treatment requirements based on best professional judgement reviews,could further expand technology requirements and costs for CSO correction. Some would pm total CSO needs at over$100 billion subject to a range of water quality and engineering judgements. 27. What are the estimated costs to control sanitary sewer overflows? rho Cost of Clean: Questions i Answers 6 The EPA 1996 Needs Survey puts infiltration and inflow correction costs, to avoid SSOS at$10.3 billion. The 1999 EPA Sewer System Overflow Study revealed that$80.1 billion is needed nationwide to correct SSOs. 28. What other public health related water infrastructure costs are confronting local governments? The EPA 1998 Needs Survey was conducted on costs to meet the Safe Drinking Water Act. The First Report to Congress for that survey,dated January 1997,reported total 20-year needs of $138.4 billion for transmission and distribution,treatment,storage,source and other costs. The American Water Works Association reported in1998 estimated drinking water facility needs of $325 billion. Moreover,communities must be able to fund other critical infrastructure needs such as schools,roads,parks and transit. 29. What is the present federal funding commitment to safe drinking water facilities? The 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act established a drinking water state revolving fund program and authorized grant funding of$1 billion annually for drinking water facility construction and source water protection. 30. If the current funding situation continues, how will the average person be affected? Sewer bills will rise. Currently, local governments pay 90 percent of the costs for clean water infiasuucttne. But soon, if the current federal funding policy continues,95 percent of the costs to meet clean water infrastructure needs for wet weather control and for water quality standards compliance will fall to local communities. These costs will be passed along to citizens in the form of higher bills,which will support the debt incurred by local governments from bonds or SRF loans. The actual federal contribution will be limited to 5 percent in the form of reduced interest on SRF-financed loans and a limited number of targeted grants provided by Congress. 31. What types of federal funding should be provided? A combination of SRF loans and federal grants for wet weather and other municipal water quality-related infrastructure should be enacted by Congress for the construction of wastewater collection and treatment facilities. The grants program achieved remarkable results. But local utilities have reached the point where they cannot pay more without significantly increasing local wastewater service fees. In light of the enormous needs to meet federally enforceable requirements and high sewer bills across the country, grant funding is necessary. To move the national clean water program forward, grants are not only critical,but they would underscore the nation's commitment to clean water. 32. What is the current federal funding commitment for rural nonpoint sources? The Cost of Crean: Questions 4 Answers 7 Federal funding for implementation of rural nonpoint source control programs best management practices is concentrated in the U.S. Department of Agriculture,the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA). For the present 1999 fiscal year,the Congress funded these programs at the following levels: Department of Agriculture—the Conservation Reserve Program for BMP implementation by farmers,$1.76 billion and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, $174 million; EPA—CWA section 319 Nonpoint Source Management Program Grants, $200 million; and NOAA Coastal Nonpoint Program, S17 million. The Administration has requested additional finding for these programs and for Better America Bonds which include nonpoint source funding in the FY 2000 Budget. The 2000 Budget also includes suggested statutory language authorizing states to reserve 20 percent of their clean water SRF programs for 60 percent grants under the CWA section 319 nonpoint program. 33. Is more money a complete solution to achieving appropriate water quality standards? In addition to more federal funding,three actions are needed to achieve appropriately protective water quality standards: (1)increased action to control nonpoint sources of pollution including stronger enforceable controls at the state level;(2)increased site-specific biological, chemical and physical data to strengthen scientific appropriateness of water quality standards; and(3) improvements in the cost-effectiveness of treatment and transport technologies and best management practices. 34. How would increased federal funding for clean water infrastructure improve quality of life in America? Increased federal funding for clean water infastrucnn would move the national clean water program forward and allow local governments to address the next phase of water quality challenges. The funding commitment authorized in the 1972 Clean Water Act allowed POTWs to install secondary treatment, significantly advancing their environmental performance. A return to significant levels of grant funding for local governments' wastewater needs would accelerate implementation of CSO and SSO controls and achieve unprecedentedly high levels of water quality for Americans to enjoy. The resulting benefits to environmental quality,recreation, drinking water sources, and fish and other aquatic life would be felt in communities across the country. 35. Does the American public support more money for clean water? National polls over the years have indicated strong support for more funding for clean water infrastructure. This was most recently reported in the national poll conducted by the Rebuild America Coalition which found that 66 percent of those surveyed favored federal spending on infrastructure as a strong investment in America's future.

Vernon Gray, President-elect of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and Chairman of the Howard County(Md.)Council,joined representatives of other local government organizations in a news conference today to push for increased federal funding to meet the infrastructure costs of providing clean water for America This appeal for greater federal involvement is based on a survey released at the news conference by the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies and the Water Environment Federation called the"Cost of Clean." `"Phis survey clearly lays out the difficulties that counties and other local governments fare in meeting the funding needs to pay for clean water,"Gray said. "My county, as well as the rest of America's counties,cannot keep pace with the infrastructure needs to keep our water clean. We need more federal assistance and more flexibility in the federal programs that already exist." The survey states that in the first decade of the 30-year clean water program, federal and state governments contributed more than 80 percent of the funds needed to build the facilities necessary to assist local communities in their efforts to clean their rivers and streams. By contract,local governments are now shouldering at least 90 percent of the capital investment burden—not to mention rising operations and maintenance costs. And although the federal government continues to contribute to clean water infrastructure, rising costs and more stringent standards have tendered this contribution woefully inadequate,the survey says Gray said Howard County needs to move forward with projects that total$170 million: $140 million for a wastewater treatment facility,$10 million to upgrade another facility and $20 million for stonnwater treatment. "Ibe reduction of water pollution in the United States is a partnership among the federal, state and local governments;'Gray said. "As partners,we have achieved remarkable success in moving the nation toward fishable and swimmable waters.But the job is not done." more Gray calls for greater Federal funding page 2 Gray maintained that it is critical to secure increased federal investment because of the greater needs in the future. The survey stated that the value of America's wastewater infrastructure will nearly double in the 20 years, from just over$200 billion in 1998 to nearly$400 billion in 2018. 'Without a strong federal investment our legacy to provide clean water for future generations is greatly threatened,"Gray said. -30- knows atlVeroe osearems dgp=A* THE COST OF CLEAN Statement by THE HONORABLE BRUCE TOBBY Nationalleague Of cities Mayor of Gloucester, Massachusetts Chair 1301 PWCJ aAle.,N W.

Furthermore, these projected costs do NOT include the upcoming federal Clean Water Air mandate requiring cities to reduce pollutants from their point sources to meet Tod Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). rY�rs orrhhreanrewa•rrhpa r rwr•r'rir.rhga oE.ecs•nyr.YGeudrarnmL•aaae rra �la'.V rb•ra�LYr�laa4imamhE®EWr•LLE10a�YSvpaA 4lu.YYIY�fO[(M,b1YQti.Y.pI� •iwLrrradu.wYrrahY®.rErmmnay.E+s�•r�nrrrarvhmrraahr.y.Lrawa.��a rex res•r or r cars Eerm r.ra•lr r.r rma,rs e�•w rW a.mm tmm hmam.roc era wa Mtn r.r r sno.naem.rrr.rarsv.ens.a mrn•reaharE wxwy.r�.rE.rrm>m rmrom.rLrar�.r rsero W.ersaYvweY.rrLoaahhaFeEm.ear[mo.m.relaeefasreeree.rrr0wr0rmwmrrm.Ma lafs�iar®.rYa11µ5mra Wm.1rElYLLImIr I�FfLL to.11.LLra14aW.mlfdom•i1rlR•.OrW W01E,m1�•YrpYRMlaIYlEeb.l�r14[%tNnA•��armoLsn IvpOap�.i1 R(b2 hbarLe�re tisa:r,[r mar Ym n41m.Ym lr fad MR YYL!Ho.JalYiaa CaderO fdiM1t fmp.fW YYfmr'6®.N�I�ROCt.1�lrMIaOLCMbef.i�IIYaYRRREYQa.YyP1�lE[meM1mreO�ISPete•r YWfm FF4ImW 4trLe Fmoi •Ivi.1�L4�YRmYi[am.'Mmq My city, Gloucester, Massachusetts, an historic New England port community with a population just under 29,000, has already incurred major costs. We have built a chemically-enhanced primary treatment plant and associated works,we have rehabilitated old facilities,and we have extended our collection system to include thousands of homes previously not sewered. Total cost? $95 million—$37 million of that amount came from federal and state sources;the balance, $58 million is borne by the people of my city—they pay an annual average household water and sewer bill in excess of$600 and each household added to the sewer system is paying an assessment in excess of$16,000. And,we continue to face significant wastewater infrastructure costs: • $10 million to expand our infrastructure to address unserved,unsewered areas. • $9 million to enhance our wastewater treatment plant from primary to secondary; and, • $18 million to remediate our combined sewer overflows; Totaling$37 million, these are the costs facing the citizens in Gloucester just for wastewater needs, and with no federal contribution. They will raise annual average water and sewer bills to $1,400. We have yet to putt a price tag on TMD1.s or the phase II stormwater programs. And,these costs do not include other environmental protections—such as safe drinking water,dean air, solid waste disposal—we are required to provide and finance. And, by the way,I have only spoken of direct and measurable costs. There are indirect and tough-to-measure costs too. For example, the bulk of Glou cster's combined sewer system is located in the city's business discrict. What will be the cost to these businesses arising from the disruption of sewer separuiom) And what about the businesses that will leave my city or start up elsewhere due to rising sewer rates— what is the cost of these losses to a community and its citi7m ? As 715e Cost of C/ean indicates, every one of my NLC colleagues serving as a city official faces the same overwhelming burden from unfunded— and for the most pan—unfundable, mandates. If one message should be clear, it is this: our cities can't do it alone. The Clean Water Act is often cited as the most successful environmental statute. Why? It's simple—because our cities and towns have made significant investments in our wastewater infrastructure—over$117 billion, but they did not do it alone. We had substantial help from our federal and state partners—over$96 billion— in financing these investments. As a consequence of these joint investments, the quality of the nation's water has seen a remarkable revitalization. Many of the nation's waterways are now cleaner and available for many more uses,such as recreation and as a source of drinking water, than was the case just twenty years ago. In light of the staggering costs of maintaining, operating, rehabilitating and expanding our wastewater systems to serve our citizens and the environment effectively,that partnership needs to be re-established. It is in our interest as a nation, since virtually all of us live downstream from someone else,for all levels of government to participate in assuring that our wastewater infrastructure is sound, reliable, protective of the environment and affordable. The partnership that can take credit for the sweeping progress we have already made in restoring our waterbodies must be reinstituted if we are to maintain and enhance this achievement. wa&w wean rress Keuease Page t of-2 Water Em•tripon'nment 1"hdera /Va/ raw` PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Contact:John Millen,AMSA, 1(202)833-4652 March 31, 1999 Barry Eisenberg,WEF, I(703)6W2400 Unless We Act Now.. . WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS WILL SWAMP AMERICA'S COMMUNITIES (Washington,D.C.)—The"Cost of Clean" is rising sharply. To focus national attention on skyrocketing wastewater infrastructure costs,two leading national water quality organizations-the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies(AMSA)and the Water Environment Federation(WEF)-will release startling findings today on massive funding gaps facing local governments across the country. The Cost of Clean presents disturbing financial trends that could jeopardize America's future water quality and calls for a national dialogue of federal,state and local leaders to find a way to fill the gap. Currently, America's communities shoulder 90 percent of wastewater infrastructure costs nationwide. As the costs grow and cities strive to ensure ever higher water quality standards,the federal share of the cost of clean remains level. This situation is pushing many local budgets beyond the breaking point, threatening economic growth and further environmental progress. With needs projected to be$330 billion over the next 20 years, AMSA and WEF are sounding the alarm with today's release of The Cost of Clean. "Wastewater treatment plants and collection systems are the most important, and least visible,part of our urban infrastructure,"says WEF President Rhonda Harris, founder of Professional Operations,Inc. (PRO-OPS), an operations consulting firm for environmental facilities based in Plano,Texas."I believe, and the Water Environment Federation believes,that funding for this vital infrastructure is crucial to public health, environmental protection, economic well being,and to our nation's continued world leadership in this sector." "Communities in every state across the country are facing staggeringly expensive wastewater needs,"says AMSA President Michele PIA,Planning Manager for San Francisco's Clean Water Program. "On top of all the other services they provide, local governments must fund a costly combination of water infrastructure. They must pay to operate,maintain, expand or replace their aging wastewater treatment plants.And, at the same time,many must also correct discharges that occur during periods of extreme rainfall that overwhelm the capacity of wastewater collection systems,many of which were built generations ago.

Americans prize clean water as an investment in the future. AMSA feels that federal spending should reflect the high value Americans place on quality infrastructure and a healthy environment." Following a presentation of the troubling national trends, a panel of local government officials will discuss the dilemmas posed by the clean water funding crunch. The speakers include: Bruce Tobey,Mayor, City of Gloucester,Mass., representing National League of Cities; C. Vernon Gray,Howard County,Md. Council Chair and President- Elect,National Association of Counties; and James Lebenthal, Lebenthal & Co., Inc., and Vice Chair,Rebuild America Coalition. The Water Environment Federation is a not-for-profit technical and educational organization with the goal of preserving and enhancing the global water environment. Federation members number more than 40,000 water quality professionals and specialists from around the world, including engineers,scientists, goverrunent officials, utility and industrial managers and operators, academics,educators and students, equipment manufacturers and distributors, and other environmental specialists. The Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies represents 218 of the nation's publicly owned wastewater treatment agencies. Its members serve the majority of the sewered population in the United States and collectively treat and reclaim over 18 billion gallons of wastewater each day. AMSA's members are true environmental practitioners dedicated to protecting and improving the quality of the nation's waters. http://www.atnsa-cleanwater.org/private/legreg/iegalnOa99-5b.htm 4/9/99 THE amsa 001000%00 A4tapler mt O r1l 0 r"s hy Massive funding gaps are jeopardizing America's hard-won water quality gains. DESP= A SiGNIFICANr NATIONAL COMMITMENT to curb water pollution, America finds itself challenged by a disturbing dilemma: local governments, our front-line defense against water pollution, arc being forced to choose between maintaining thew basic wastewater treat- ment programs and meeting a new generation of water quality requirements.

CONIROLLING WATER POLLUTION WILL BE EXPENSIVE, BUT THE COST OF THE PROGRAM OUGHT TO BE COMPARED WTIH THE COST OF NON-ACTION. —Senator FAunn Muskie o/Maine during 1972 floor debases on the Conn Water Aa From the outset, all levels of government recognized that the cost of clean would be high. With the passage of the Clean Water Act, Congress demonstrated true leadership by matching federal funding with the ambitious scope of the law's mandates and goals. From 1974-1994 the Federal Construction Grants Program invested $96 billion in new construction and upgrades of municipal wastewater treatment plants.Lou]governments followed suit with an investment of $117 billion. The federal, state and local funding strategy worked, and we made remarkable environmental progress. But today,as the nation nears the 300 anniversary of the Clean Water Act, we face a different situation. In the first decade of our national clean water program, federal and state gov- ernments contributed more than 80 percent of the funds needed to build the facilities necessary to assist local communities in their efforts to clean their rivers and streams. By contrast, local governments are now shouldering at least 90 percent of the capital investment burden—not to mention rising operations and maintenance costs. And although the federal government continues to contribute to clean water infrastructure,rising costs and more stringent standards have rendered this contribution woefully inadequate. The cost of dean is a daunting figure—no matter who adds it up.The Environmental protection Agency estimates that$139.5 billion will be required to fund municipal treatment works and other related needs over the next 20 years (In March 1999, EPA revised its 1996 needs estimate for sanitary sewer overflows from$10.3 to$81.9 billion, increasing total needs to nearly $200 billion.). Americas cities With $139 billion in unmet needs for clean water have a different perspective.They must finance—and thew citizens infrastructure nationwide, we should be increasing, must pay for — new facilities plus the costs to replace aging not decreasing our investment in clean water." treatment plants and collection systems. From this perspective, Rep.Bud Shuster,Chairman of the House Transportation& future wastewater investment costs are more than twice as high Infrastructure Committee, in a statement, Feb. 1, 1999 as EPAs estimate—at least$330 billion over the next 20 years. This $330 billion needs estimate does not include rising opera- tion and maintenance costs,which could increase by an average of 3.8 percent per year over the next 20 years, putting more pressure on the ability of local governments—and ratepayers— to fund capital requirements along with other vital city services.

The capital needs associated with combined and sanitary sewer overflows,stormwater and polluted runoff have taken a back seat since 1972, but now they command—and deserve—our aren- tion.We must explore how best to ensure funding for these essential components of our nation's clean water program. Maintaining the status quo will not be enough.An increase in federal funding will allow us to protect our valuable infrastructure investment, target high priority water pollution problems,and continue to realize real progress. Leaders at all levels of government — the White House, governors, mayors, members of Congress and EPA officials — have recognized the gravity of the dilemma facing lout governments. A dialogue on how to solve the dilemma is beginning to take shape among the nation's dean water partners. It promises better definition of the issues. It promises innovative solutions. It promises nothing less than a revitalization of America's clean water program in preparation to meet the water quality challenges in the new millennium.We must demonstrate our commitment today. If we work together,nothing is beyond our reach. The cost of clean is worth every penny. Total Capital Needs Are Growing Compared with the first 20 years of the Clean Water Along with Wet Weather Needs Act, funding needs for wastewater treatment will grow significantly in the new millennium. As these graphs illustrate, meeting wet weather needs will become increasingly difficult. Costs associated with storm water, polluted runoff and combined and sanitary sewer overflow controls will outpace wastewater agencies' growing needs to build, maintain First 20 Years and replace their collection and (1972-1991) r Billion treatment systems.Without federal (1996 dollars) assistance, many municipalities may ❑Wet weather not be able to meet the needs in both the core wastewater collection and treat- ■ wlectm ma ireaunem Next 20 Years ment activities and the expensive solutions (1996-2015) to wet weather discharges. Indeed, marry com- munities are already facing this dilemma. Value of Wastewater Infrastructure As this chart shows, It current trends continue,the value of America's wastewater irhastwhire will nearly Spp double in the next 20 years, from just over 2 $200 billion in 1998 to _ nearly$400 billion in o, srm — 2018.This trend under- scores the importance of strong federal investment to `sv protect this integral system that safeguards our heats and environment, 1972-1979 1980-1989 1990-1999 2000-2009 2010-2015 supports a robust economy and plays such a vital role in our quality of life. Federal funding should reflect and protect local govemments'substantial investment in the cost of clean. Local Versus Federal Wastewater Expenditures Including SRF Capitalization- 1972-1998- and Local Operations & Maintenance Costs While the federal contribution to wastewater infrastructure has remained relatively level since the mid-1980s,local governments have steadily increased their spending. If this trend continues, infrastruc lure needs could overtake local governments ability to pay. Although the benefits of such clean water infrastructure are realized nationwide, the costs of both operations&main tenance and infrastructure are borne more and more by local ratepayers. Up to now, the nation's cities have borne the increas. ing cost of clean and made substantial progress.

On two occasions, we had the pleasure to have Ms. Jane Tram of your staff participating in our program with Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration (TEPA). Specifically, a workshop on wastewater from printed wire board industry last year and a more recent workshop on Public Owned Treatment Works. I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for your support and Ms. Tran's participation. She was well received in both workshops by TEPA, the sponsoring organization, and the participants. The on-going Bilateral Cooperation Agreement between USEPA and TEPA was originally signed in 1993 by our Administrator Browner. Taiwan is an important player in the Asia-Pacific Region due to its economic strength and its strategic location. The goal of the agreement is to provide technical assistance in the field of environmental protection. Currently, groundwater contamination from both point and non-point sources is a major concern in Taiwan. In a recent technical proposal, we suggested a holistic approach for groundwater resource protection and mitigation. Along with various USEPA offices, the hands-on expertise offered in your office is no doubt a crucial component of the proposal. Your continued support is the key to a successful program. I'd be happy to provide more details if you are interested in learning more about our program. You could reach me at 202-564-6413 or email: liu.yu-ting@epa.gov.

FAX (949)489 V 50 Monthly Update 2 April, 1999 Board Approves Expanded Role and Funding Method for SCAP Biosolids Committee Having approved, at the January 15 meeting, the concept of incorporating the activities of the recently dissolved Biosolids Recyclers of Southern California (BRSC) into the Biosolids Committee, the Board reviewed the recommendations of an ad hoc committee they had appointed to analyze budgetary needs and recommend funding methods for the expanded role of the Committee. The Board stated at that meeting that it was their intent that these funds be assessed to the membership, and accounted for separately, from the regular SCAP membership fees. The ad hoc committee proposed a fee assessment similar to the SCAP's membership dues schedule in order to meet the first year's proposed budget of$115,000 (FY 1999/2000). In order to keep the fiscal impact to our membership negligible, approximately 80% of this figure will be equally divided among LACSD, OCSD and the City of Los Angeles. The rest will be assessed on an adjusted five-level sliding scale based on each member agency's production of biosolids measured in dry tons. The largest portion of our membership, our smaller member agencies, will be asked to contribute $100 to this effort; the mid-sized and larger agencies from $500 to $2,000. The Board unanimously approved this recommendation. Invoices, along with the fee schedule for the entire membership, will be mailed out soon. The Biosolids Committee will be meeting to develop a detailed workplan and staffing recommendations. Salinity Management MOU Approved by Board For almost three years, SCAP has been working with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC) to study the impact of salts from local and imported, natural and man-made sources on the watersheds of the Southland. At the recent Salinity Summit, the results of that study revealed that a comprehensive and coordinated salinity management strategy, calling for cooperation between water and wastewater agencies, was needed to protect groundwater and recycled sources and to reduce impacts to water customers from salinity. Rich Atwater, MWD's consultant that lead the study effort, met with the Board to review a proposed Memorandum of Understanding that would develop a Salinity Management Coalition between SCAP, Association of Groundwater Agencies (AGWA), WateReuse Association and MWDSC. The Coalitions purpose was to meet regularly and review policies and actions for salinity management. The Board approved the MOU, with the caveat that they be given more detailed information on SCAP's cost to participate. Los Angeles TMDL Litigation Discussed The Board was briefed by SCAP/CASA Litigation Task Force attorney Colin Lennard on the intense two-month effort that preceded the settlement reached last month. As a result of filing a motion to intervene in the EPA v. Heal the Bay/Baykeeper/NRDC lawsuit, the parties agreed to negotiate with SCAP/CASA in mid-February. After two days of intense negotiations in Washington D.C., a settlement was reached in which we agreed to withdraw our motion to intervene. The settlement includes two parts: changes to the consent decree and settlement agreement between EPA and the environmental organizations, and agreement by EPA to establish a dialogue process that will lead to guidance for the State of California on how TMDLs will be done. EPA has set a four month timetable to develop the TMDL guidance document. Monthly Update 3 April, 1999 Particularly important to us were these four changes that were made to the consent decree: ♦ Any further revision of the consent decree requires federal court approval and notice to us (e.g., if they want to change the time schedule in the decree, we must be notified first and the court must approve). ♦ If any pollutant or water quality segment is substituted or changed, we must be notified and the federal court must approve. ♦ All progress reports and documents must be provided to anyone who wants them. ♦ EPA must define low and high priority TMDLs. The Board, while pleased with the important and speedy concessions gained under this litigation, agreed that the benefits of this action would accrue to future permit and discharge issues. Important existing permit issues that are facing many Los Angeles area dischargers are left unresolved by this action. Water Committee members were asked to survey SCAP members from other Regional Board jurisdictions to quantify the nature and extent of similar permit discharge limitations. Prior to committing to participate with CASA and BADA in the TMDL litigation, the SCAP office polled the membership relative to raising our suggested portion of the legal costs. This figure was a limited amount, and an adequate number of our members responded positively enabling us to join in this worthwhile effort. At the time of the poll, however, a definite commitment was not required. Now that a major portion of the litigation has been resolved to SCAP's satisfaction, we are awaiting notification from CASA(lead association in this joint effort)to remit our portion. Upon receipt of this information, we will again be contacting member agencies for a solid commitment prior to sending out invoices requesting voluntary contributions. The legal effort continues, however, and as we enter into additional phases, supplementary contributions may be requested. If and when that happens, subject to Board approval, the membership will be polled as to its willingness to continue with additional voluntary funding. Kern County Update Intense discussions and negotiations are continuing in Kern County. Recent concessions on our part include agreeing that we would limit the amount of biosolids applied in the county to no more than 5% of the irrigable acreage (this represents more acreage than we are currently using). We also agreed to be co-permittees with the companies contracted to land apply the biosolids, thus enabling (and requiring) oversight of disposal practices and application rates. The SCAP Board was apprised that while important gains were made regarding the safety of biosolids application during the recent workshop held with the Kern Board of Supervisors, the votes for approval of continued biosolids application are up in the air. Two Supervisors are solidly against it, one is solidly for it, and two are undecided. In an effort to reach out more directly to Kern farmers, highly qualified consultants have been retained by LACSD to review biosolids production and application processes and to visit with Kern fanners. Radioactivity Survey—Guidance Document Complete The National Biosolids Partnership will be sending copies of the Radioactivity Survey Guidance Document they funded to AMSA and WEF members this month. The actual questionnaire, which is being sent to 600 POTWs across the country, may not be sent out until the end of this month. The first sample kits, which are also part of the questionnaire, won't be sent out until this summer. Monthly Update 4 April, 1999 Air Committee News JARP—The initial prototype RMP has been produced under JARP. A total of 12 agencies and 22 facilities are participating in this joint effort. Industrial Coatings —As mentioned previously, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has approved a plan to phase out all solvent based industrial coatings: it is unclear if there will be appropriate water- based substitutes available. Portable Equipment—Portable equipment over 50 hp will need to be repennitted by the end of the year. In addition, SCAQMD is enforcing a procedure that provides that if equipment is left at a site for more than 5 days, a community response team will come out and evaluate if additional CEQA analysis is required. There appears to be a clear trend that portable diesel equipment is being phased out. Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRFI EPA has requested $800 million for capitalization of the Clean Water SRF in the FY 2000 budget—a decrease of$550 million from the FY 1999 appropriation of$1.35 billion. EPA also plans to allow states the option to reserve up to 20 percent of the FY 2000 allotment for making grants for implementation of non-point source pollution and estuary management projects. This proposal is controversial because of the decreased funding level, which is expected to be increased by Congress. SWRCB/CWEA Y21K Seminar Notes Other information relayed at the March 30 Y2K seminar held at Elsinore Valley Water Agency: • Potential problems associated with August 21, 1999 have been underreported. Receivers of GPS signals must be able to accommodate system rollover problem on that date. GPS broadcasts universal Greenwich Mean Time to coordinate system interfaces, such as links between high voltage electrical systems. Possible blackouts can occur if high voltage interties become unsynchronized at substations. ♦ Similarly, February 29, 2000 (Leap Year Day) potential for problems may be underreported. Equipment (like flowmelers) may be Y2K compliant, but may not be able to handle this leap day (2000 is an extra leap year). • It may be difficult to find equipment rentals now as most have now been reserved throughout the state. ♦ Continually re-examine manufacturer information given regarding the Y2K readiness of equipment. Information given out just months ago as to equipment compliance may be changed or rescinded now. • Some agencies are putting together incentive packages (including cash bonuses, overtime pay for exempt employees and providing meals) to entice employees to report to work over the New Year's holiday until Monday. One plant is considering holding a New Year's party at, or in close proximity to, the plant for employees and their families. • If your agency has issued bonds or revenue notes, notice of Y2K preparedness should be provided to bond/note holders as part of your due diligence. • Use video cameras and tape recorders to log and record Y2K compliance efforts, and to record events occurring on and after 1/l/00. Your documentation should show that a V party would draw the same conclusion from your efforts that you did. Monthly Update 5 April, 1999 • A regional power system has never been 'black-started." That is, it has never been started without having operating power from the local grid. During the Northridge earthquake, power was restarted using a unique combination of the Hyperion Wastewater Plant's biomass energy production system and some SCE power.

The two initiatives are Environmental Justice and the Children's Air Quality Agenda. Summaries of these two initiatives are attached. Staff generally supports these initiatives because their principal objectives are to protect our children and disadvantaged communities. However, we are concerned that in some cases the inability of SCAQMD to regulate mobile sources and/or political agendas will override good science in how these programs ultimately impact stationary sources like us. Even though criteria pollutants that are regulated by both National and State ambient air quality standards will be affected by implementation of these initiatives, the principal focus will be on air toxic emissions. SCAQMD has recently embarked on a comprehensive air toxic study in the South Coast Air Basin called the Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study or MATES. This study will likely form the basis for changes to current SCAMD regulations on air toxics including Rule 1401 (New Source Review of Toxic Air Contaminants) and Rule 1402 (Control of Toxic Air Contaminants from Existing Sources). Staff has been participating in recent discussions on amendments to both of these air toxic rules and we are concerned that proposed changes could likely result in future development and implementation of an air toxic emission reduction program for our CGS engines. In addition, we would be required to notify our surrounding residents of the health risk our operation has on them. Distribution Page 2 March 25, 1999 The Air Quality & Special Projects Division staff are closely monitoring regulatory developments in this area as well as beginning implementation of technical studies to evaluate resulting impacts and control options for our CGS engines. We will keep you abreast as new key developments unfold and operational and budgetary impacts are better understood. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like additional information.

Ahn Clean Reliable Water for the Region SAWPA Making the Santa Ana Watershed Work for You The Region The Santa Ana River is the largest coastal river system in Southern California.The river begins high in the San Bernardino Mountains and Flows over 100 miles southwesterly where it discharges to the Pacific Ocean in Huntington Beach.The Santa Ana River watershed,which receives an average annual rainfall of about 13 inches,coven over 2630 square miles of widely-van'mg terrain.This area,which includes parts of San Bernardino,Riverside,Los Angeles and Orange Counties,is home to more than 4.5 million people. Under natural conditions the river would be an mtenrattent stream with high nun-off in the winter and spring seasons,and with bale or no flow in the summer months.In more recent years the natural river supply has been,and still is,supplemented by highly-treated effluent flows from wastewater treatment plants resulting in a perpetual stream of water that courses from the City of San Bemardmo to the coastal plain of Orange Count'.As the river and its tributaries flow toward \ the sea,the water percolates into the sands and _ gravels of the stream system,recharging the 35 c groundwater basins that comprise the watershed. - .;'s43.•. Water is pumped by farmers and cities from the groundwater source and utilized for agriculmnl, municipal and industrial supply.Following municipal �j y •n• and industrial use,the water is retuned to the river •" ,�� - �I .+.+ as efficient.The river has a large volume of highly treated effluent and is perhaps the most tightly regulated in the world. rs /• ��}, � �, However,each use of the supply results in added salinity to the water for the neat user.The quality of the effluent retuned to the River is closely �..1/ 'v�•�.sf ��: controlled by the California Water Resources Control Board and the Santa - Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board to assume that the water supply is +s"y protected for downstream beneficial uses. Goa/—Drought SeLrSulficiency Over the last thirty years,the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authorin•(SAWPA)and its member agencies Eastern Municipal Water District,Inland Empire Utility•Agency,Orange County Water District,San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District,and Western Murtitipal Water District have been leaders in planning and dealing with the complex problems involved in watershed management. Their efforts have led to significant projects involving water conservation and clean up of contamination. In order to continue that tradition of leadership,SAWPA is proposing a regional program to assure a sustainable water supply for the future,while at the same time enhancing the environment. The goal of the program is to make the region entirely self sufficient during drought cycles,therebv firming up the regions ability to assure astable economy,while bnprovmg water quality,and also allowing more of the State's scarce water resources to be allocated to wildlife and agriculture during those times, Statewide Benefits California is in the process ofdealing with two major water supply issues. C.U.FED is a process designed to help the state balance environmental,municipal supply and agricultural water _ needs in the Bay Delta. SAWPA expects this program to support the CU.FED process by reducing the needs of urban southern California especially during dry years,and thereby enhances the - - ability of the C.U.FED parties to reach agreement. The second ��- ¢•' major issue is the requirement of the Department of Interior that California develop a plan to reduce its use of Colorado River - water from 5.2 million acre feet per year(An)to 4.4 million '-'4• An'. Implementation of the SAWPA plan will reduce drought year demand in Southern California by 400,000 An'. This dry. year savings will help to achieve the 4.4 million An'objective. Major Components This program has four major elements: 1)enhancement of the native i t habitat along the river and Its tributaries,2)desalting and treatment of contaminated brackish rater to allow poor quality water to be 4 reclaimed and used,3)storage of water from wet pears in groundwater storage basins to be used in drought and,4) conservation,including water use efficiency and reclamation. Y Habitat F.nhanccrncnt Steel and concrete are not the only imponant aspects of the water business. In the Santa Ana River a non-native species Amnds dvn (giant cane)has come to dominate some 10,000 acres of riparian habitat. Some native species do not prosper in the environment created by this Arondo. The giant cane is also a significant fire hazard,and has cost millions of dollan and ravaged the environment each time it bums. The native Ron m cagy take much longer to grow,are much less dense and after each fire the Arondo expands its grip on the environment. From the penpecune of water supply, most obseren estimate that if the Arnndo were removed and replaced with native species,some 10,000 Acre Feet(AF) of water per year could be saved. One respected Univenm•of California scientist estimates that 37,000 AF of water per year could be saved. Protecting habitat enhances water supply in other ways. Examples include the use of open space to percolate water into the ground,or creating wetlands that clean water while preserving habitat. projects restoring native habitat and creating wetlands or open space,which can be used for many purposes,have been developed by many agencies in this region. SAWPA envisions ` expanding these activities with a long-term program designed to specifically manage, expand and improve the habitat in the region,while at the same time obtaining a benefit for wildlife,water quabry and self-sufficiency. Contamination Removal Salt is not normally thought of as a contaminant,but in the Santa Ana region salt is a major factor limiting the use and .use of water. Vistuagy,all-human activity adds salt in small amounts. Water as it percolates through the ground may also pick up salt. As water is lost through evaporation or transpiration,the salt concentrates. As the salt accumulates,it increases in the water to the point where the water is too salty to drink or grow crops. The Santa Ana region has been a prime agricultural area for over one hundred pears. The citrus industry flourished for most of that time. The dairy•industry currently flourishes in two pars of the watershed. It adds a significant amount of salt and nitrate to the water. Over the history of citrus production,large amounts of ferWizer were applied to the land particularly in the early pan of the 20's century. Agricultural use of femlizer is c.dy regulated,but the legacy of salt and nitrate contamination,and to a lesser extent herbicide and pesticide contantination,will be here for a long time. • The Santa Ana region,over the yeas has also had major industrial development. This has brought with it major contamination. In the pest SAkNPA and its member agencies have taken the lead in removing contamination and solving problems. As in the past SAWPA is committed to helping to resolve the water quality problems and holding the parties accountable who misuse this public resource. To effectively use the water resources in the region,SAWPA proposes a major program to remove salts. Desalting the groundwater is a key component in any long-range plan to insure clean and reliable water. Groundwater Stonge The Santa Am Region is blessed with many groundwater basins. Them range in size from the large basins such as the Chino Basin,Bunker Hill Basin,Grange Comm Basin and San Timoteo Basin to small basins such as the Claremont Heights Basin. Each of these basins has some capacity to store water. The region correctly takes delivem of about 350,000 AF of _ imported water per year that is tinted and directly delivered. To have a trtdl- sustavuble water supply,the region needs to be able to store about them years worth of all imported water supplies. This is currently possible for replenished water,but not possible for the directly delivered water. The safest way to adequately protect the regions water supply from,drought 4 shortages,an earthquake or any other major emergency is to store it underground SAWPA will support the proposal to make the Chino Basin a demonstration project am for the GAL FED process with storage of 500.000.AF. Conservation and Water Efficient: The Santa Am region has long been a leader to water conservation. SAIXTA's member agencies have spent millions of dollars promoting and implementing best management practices. More wain is recycled in this region of California than in any other comparable am in the United States. There remains more to be done. It is imperative that my plan include a commitment to implement hill),the best management practices of the industry and further m remain a Mader in seeing that all forms of water conrenadon are practiced. This includes the implementation of programs to insure that proper landscaping practices are used,public education and storm water management and captive. Cost The estimated cost of this program over the next rwenty ears is$2 billion dollars over and above the cost of nomul pipeline replacement and water treatment. Initial funding of the program will come from local,regional,Sure,and Federal funds. The funding of the program is designed to be an ongoing process. Each phase of the program will be supplemented by the preceding phase. SAWPA has obtained loans of the funds necessary to get started. Agencies in the local communities will repay the loans by purchasing the waver. Any rerun on investment will be returned to SAWPA where that money will be used to build the next project. Thu process will continue until the region inches a point where all the groundwater basins am appropriately managed and enough water is stored an that during drought,no imported water is required(often caged conjunctive use). Progress to Date The region has taken major steps toward the goal of mstainabdity. A$100 million brine disposal system has been built to take salts ro the oceam. Four desalten will be operational within the next rare,years. Maim clean-up efforts have been started in virtually ever)•pan of the region. Funding has come in from many soirees and the Metropolitan Water District of Southem California(Mf%D)is committed to funding up to$5 million per year for regional projects for the next 20 years. Local agencies from all comers of the watershed have invested hundreds of millions of dollars and are poised to make even greater investments. Whi do saw need to go? The key issue is financing and policy resolution.The benefits of these projects most be clearly defined through a consensus building process among stakeholders to create policy support parallel to financial support.The projects make financial sense and local agencies must pay the lions share of the cost,but the projects can only be fenced when partially subsidized by patties looking at region-wide and statewide benefits.The partial subsidy needed indicates dut the agencies in this region will not need to seek additional imported water in a drought. A mom detailed list of funding Deeds is attached,and the funding sources are generally outlined below. Local Funding The proposed program will cost$2.0 billion shove the normally expected pipeline and treatment costs. The proposed local sham of tine program will be about$1.3 billion or 65%. The way the process is intended to operate,the water agencies will be required to pay for the war of water developed at a rate higher than the cost any given agency would normally pay,but m return would be supporting the regional program to dean up the water and develop a sustainable system. This could increase the avenge water big less than 1%per year(or by a total of 15 to 20%)phased in over the 20 year life of this plan. \IRD The parallel step to the above funding mechanism is to obtain additional funding from the NnXD to subsidize these and other related projects in the future. \[\CD has agreements in place that support the Arlington Desalter,Chino Basin Desithers\lenifee Desalrer and numerous water reclamation projects. This amounts to a commitment of about S5 million per year. SAWPA has had prebminars'discussions with NAVE)and the objective n to obtain an additional$6 million per Year in funding over the next twenty years to allow additional projects to move ahead. Several other projects have been proposed for the watershed and\I\C'D is evaluating their value at the present time. Water Bond The next step in the process is to develop additional desalting,groundwater storage(sometimes referred to as conjunctive use),a program to manage the habitat and further conservation measures. SAWPA is proposing that$330 million in a proposed California state bond be allocated to the Santa Ana Region to develop the seven)basin dean up,groundwater storage and habitat mitigation projects. Some of these projects may develop some additional revenue,which can reason to SAWPA for future project subsidies. Federal_assistance There are seven)instances where federal help could be vital. Staff is working with the Bureau of Reclamation to get the exact details of a proposed Southern California water reclamation plan. The proposed plan will be included to the Bureau's report to Congress on water reclamation in Southern California. This is the primary funding source needed in complete the puzzle of funding for recycling wastewater. Initial contacts with the Corp of Engineers have been made and show promise towards allowing their part of the plan to move ahead. The Challenge The principal challenge facing everyone in the region is not technical,but to bring competing interests into alignment so that we can all envision a future where the water resources we leave to our children and grandchildren are well managed, of high quality and adequate to meet their needs. All stakeholders whether they be cities,businesses,regulators,farms or wildlife and the environment must have their needs addressed for us to be successful.

The moming opened with the Water, Land, and Air subcommittee meetings, and the Federal Legislative Committee meeting. In the afternoon, President Jim Bewley called the opening session to order and welcomed the delegates. He announced Secretary/Treasurer Chuck Joseph's impending retirement and invited anyone interested in being a candidate for this position to contact him. President Bewley indicated that the person would not only be the bookkeeper and clerk for the association, but also would serve as an Officer of the association. The program led off with the presentation of the 1998 CASA Award Winning Projects: "Oro Loma Public Education Program" presented by Marta Boerger, Solid Waste Manager, and ShadeTree Partnership Nursery Project"presented by Bob Snell, Facilities Services Manager and ShadeTree Partnership president. The Attorney's Committee presented the delegates with a panel on "Environmental Justice." The panel included Colin Lennard of Fulbright & Jaworski, Jocelyn Thompson from McClintock, Weston, Benshoof, Rochefort, Rubalcava & MacCuish, LLP, and Dominque Sheldon with Folger, Levin & Kahn, LLP. President Jim Bewley and Sue Bewley welcomed the attendees to the well-attended President's reception that evening. On Friday, January 22, registration continued. During the day, the following meetings were held: State Legislative Committee, Associates' Committee, New Member Orientation, Attorneys' Committee, and the Program Committee. Second Vice President Rich Luthy opened the morning session by welcoming delegates to a joint session of the Directors' and Managers' Committees on"Contractor Issues." The panel was moderated by Joe Covello, Past Chair of the Associates' Committee, who introduced each of the panelists and their subjects, which were: "Dealing with Incompetent Bidders" presented by Kenton Alm of Sellar, Hazard, Snyder, Fitzgerald, McNeely & Alm; "Arbitration and Attorney Fee Provisions" by Bill McInerney, Jr. of McInerney & Dillon; and "Negotiating Dispute Clauses," by Charles Sink with Farella, Braun & Martel, LLP. Steve Hayashi, Union Sanitary District, and Dave Williams, East Bay MUD, presented an informational talk on QualServe. QualServe is a program which includes self assessment and peer review offered jointly by the American Water Works Association (AW WA) and the Water Environment Federation (WEF) to help water and wastewater utilities improve performance and increase customer satisfaction. Printed informational materials on the program were made available. Colin Lennard of Fulbright &Jaworski, the attorney for CASA on the Impaired Water Bodies litigation informed the membership that CASA and SCAP had intervened in the state impaired water bodies litigation against the State Water Resources Control Board and had filed a Notice of Intent to sue the EPA in federal court. The Litigation Task Force continues to convene regularly via conference call to advise Mr. Lennard regarding CASA interests and to provide technical assistance. During the conference luncheon President Jim Bewley presented CASA Resolution 182 NS to Mike Dillon on his 25 year anniversary as CASA Executive Director and Lobbyist. Former Director of Regulatory Affairs, Bobbi Larson paid tribute to Mr. Dillon with fond words referencing the changes Mr. Dillon and the Association have seen in Sacramento over the past quarter century. Mr. Dillon graciously accepted the resolution and thanked the Association for their thoughtfulness and kind words. First Vice President, Ron Young presided over the afternoon session program. Mr. Young introduced 1 Paul Causey, CASA Director at Large, to present a report on the CASA Long Range Planning progress. Mr. Causey reported that 18 issues have been prioritized into a work plan. One of the issues is to turn CASA's Mission Statement into a "Vision Statement,"which would be used as a guide for the next five years. In general, the Planning group concluded that CASA is in good shape and the Association has been doing a good job. The CASA Planning group determined the four highest priorities to be: 1) Implementing a proactive legislative and regulatory program, 2) Increasing our proactive involvement in the legal/litigation environment, 3) Developing a system to facilitate consistent coordination between committees to exchange ideas, partner, and assist ensuring effectiveness and consistency of association goals, and 4) Expanding to new membership markets and increasing membership. Each of these four priorities were made into work groups that will be reporting on a regular basis to the board via a board liaison unfil the plan has been formulated. Mr. Causey indicated that some groups continue to need input, and anyone interested in contributing or wishing to serve on a work group was asked to inform Jim Bewley or the chair of the work group. The afternoon session concluded with presentations on "Wastewater vs Wildlife: Interagency Conflicts" "Malibu Creek- Can All Beneficial Uses Be Served?' by Jim Colbaugh, Manager of Las Virgenes MWD; "California Toxics Rule Biological Opinion" by Catherine Kuhlman, EPA Region IX; and'WiIdlife Conflicts: Opportunities For Wastewater Agencies" presented by our special guest from the Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies (ACWA), Executive Director, Janet Gillaspie. Friday evening, the Associate Members, once again, outdid themselves hosting the "Associates Recognition Reception." SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1999 The Executive Board met from 7:40- 8:30 am. President Jim Bewley called the General Session to order at 9:03 am and asked the assembly to join him in the flag salute. Roll Call — President Bewley proclaimed that a quorum was present. Approval of Minutes — President Bewley asked if there were any additions or corrections to the minutes from the August 22, 1998 meeting. It was moved by Paul Causey, Delta Diablo Sanitation District, and seconded by Terry Thielen, Vallecitos Water District, that the minutes be approved as presented. The motion was carried. Treasurer's Report— Secretary/Treasurer Charies Joseph distributed copies of the Treasurer's Report for the period ending December 31, 1998, which represented 50% of the fiscal year. Mr. Joseph brought the members attention to the Biosolids EIR Expense and Income lines, indicating a balance of$452,670.04. A copy of the Treasurer's Report is attached to the original minutes. It was moved by Meyer Elkaim, Castro Valley Sanitary District, and seconded by Charlotte Craven, Ventura Regional Sanitation District, that the Treasurers Report be approved as presented. Motion carried. Executive Board Report & President's Report— President Jim Bewley reported that the Biosolids EIR fund now contains approximately $500,000, Strategic/Long Range Planning is continuing to move along as reported by Paul Causey on Friday, January 22. The Impaired Water Bodies Litigation Intervention is progressing, with CASA now a litigant. Colin Lennard, CASA's attorney for the litigation, gave an update on the status of the litigation on Friday, January 22. Also, it was announced that the new policy for late cancellations and "no shows" at conferences will be implemented at the Spring Meeting. A $25.00 fee will be charged to all "no shows" and to those 2 canceling their registration less than two weeks prior to the beginning of the conference. There will be a reminder on the conference registration form. Mr. Ron Young, First Vice President resigned on Friday evening as he has taken a position in the private sector with Malcolm Pimie and was no longer eligible under CASA's Bylaws to hold the office. The Executive Board has appointed Mr. Steve Majoewsky a director from the Goleta Sanitary District, as the First Vice President/President Elect to replace Mr. Young. The Executive Board acknowledged Roger Dolan's contributions to CASA by bestowing upon him an Honorary Life Membership. Mr. Dolan will be retiring from the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District after 21 years of service. Congratulations, Roger Dolanl Executive Directors Report— Mike Dillon presented a written report, which was also distributed earlier during registration in response to the comments on the Evaluation sheets that indicated the desire to have Mr. Dillon's report available earlier than the Saturday morning General Session. Mr. Dillon briefly discussed the topics in his written report and proceeded to give an inside overview of the Capitol scene. Report topics included: the 1999-2000 Legislative Session, new Committee assignments, Govemor's Budget, ERAF relief for local governments not in the budget, Governance Consensus Project, Commission on Local Governance for the 210 Century, the "Rainey Working Group" and "Peace Hearings," Cal-PIRG sponsored water quality legislation re-introduced this year, State Agency Work Group to Address Environmental Justice Issues, San Marcos revisited, and Roberta Larson on contract to CASA. A copy of Mr. Dillon's report is attached to the original minutes. Mr. Dillon indicated that there is a change in atmosphere as a result of recent elections. Governor Davis has been busy selecting his top cabinet and other regulatory positions that will guide his agenda during the next four years. Many of the appointments are familiar with Mr. Dillon and his staff. It has been 16 years since Democrats have had power. As a consequence, the new administration will likely be more receptive to certain legislative proposals, such as the environment and labor unions, that previously were vetoed by Governor Wilson. Mr. Dillon indicated that new Assembly and Senate standing committee assignments have been made at the Capitol. He asked that anyone knowing committee members in the Assembly or Senate drop a letter to him so that new committee contacts can be made. Mr. Dillon acknowledged the numerous contributions that the soon retiring Roger Dolan, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, has made to CASA over the years that he has been affiliated with CASA including his tern as President in 1962. Lastly, Mr. Dillon thanked everyone for the warn reception during the conference luncheon celebrating his 25 years with CASA. He thanked Bobbi Larson for the nice words and indicated the reward he has received in seeing CASA grow over the 25 years. Mr. Dillon stated, "While you honor me, it's also been my honor to serve you" Associates Committee — Chair Paul Findley, Malcolm Pimie, reported that the Associates discussed the progress being made with the Strategic Planning work groups, and the continued support of CASA's efforts toward the goals established at the first session. Mr. Findley thanked everyone for attending the Associates Recognition Reception on Friday evening, January 22. Attorney's Committee— Chuck Kilian on behalf of Chair, Dave O'Hara, reported that the Attorneys' Committee discussed intervention in the TMDL Intervention, and the Due Care Requirement on the potential Y2K problem. A request has been made for Melissa Thorne to compose a follow up letter on CASA's Freedom of Information Act request originally sent to the Fish and Wildlife Service and 3 National Marine Fisheries Service in June of 1998. Awards Committee - - Chair, Kamil Azoury, Goleta Sanitary District, announced that mid-March/ beginning of April is the target period for sending out Awards Nomination packages. The recipients will be announced at the Annual Conference in August. Bylaws Committee— No report. Federal Liaison & Legislative Committee— Eric Sapirstein, CASA's Federal Legislative Advocate, distributed a written report, a copy of which is filed at the CASA office with the original minutes. Mr. Sapirstein reported that only 23 members of the original 76 freshman from the Class of 1994 are left in Congress representing shifting control of legislative process to congressional moderates. Mr. Sapirstein indicated that the priorities for Clean Water legislation would be infrastructure assistance, control of non-point source pollution, addressing wet weather and dry weather overflows, and clarifying the way TMDLs are established and implemented. He indicated that CASA committee members would be visiting Washington at the appropriate time this year to advocate passage of CASA's Clean Water priorities and other issues. State Legislative Committee — President Jim Bewley reported that the State Legislative committee meetings have been set through August Directors' & Managers' Committees— Charlotte Craven, Directors Chair, reported for both committees. The Attorneys' graciously presented a very interesting panel during the Joint Directors/Managers meeting held on January 22 regarding Contractor Issues on how to handle bidders, arbitration provisions, and how to negotiate dispute clauses. The Managers and Directors will be meeting separately during the Spring 1999 Meeting. Nominating —Chair, Peggy Sartor is looking for members to serve CASA on the Board. If anyone is interested, contact Ms. Sartor by phone or in writing, or contact the CASA office. Program, Conference Arrangements, Long Range Planning Communications and Public Relations Committees—Joyce Gwidt reported on behalf of all four committees. Ms. Gwidt thanked the Associates for the wonderful reception on January 22. She also encouraged everyone to fill out the Evaluation Sheets as they have been found to be one of the best resources for planning conferences and programs. The upcoming Spring Meeting will be at the Hyatt Capitol Park in Sacramento, April 29 - May 1. The Annual Conference will be held at the Hyatt Islandia in San Diego, August 11-14. The Mid-Year Conference will find us back in downtown Palm Springs at the Hilton from January 20-22, 2000. The site selection committee is currently looking at future meeting sites. Ms. Gwidt announced that she is the chair of the Communications Strategic Planning Committee. She is looking for members to sit on the committee; and for those agencies that have them, your Public Information Officers (PIC) may be interested. Please contact Ms. Gwidt at Irvine Ranch Water District if interested. Regulatory Committee — Melissa Thorne, CASA's Director of Regulatory Affairs, reported on the activities of the three technical subcommittees. The subcommittee chairs reported on key issues during their meetings, and Ms. Thorne summarized their reports as follows: Air Subcommittee: Mr. Jay Witherspoon was announced to be the new co-chair of the Air Subcommittee. The program included a progress report on the SCAP Joint Accidental Release Prevention (JARP) Program, a presentation comparing differenct emission monitoring programs for internal combustion engines, and a presentation on source test modeling under the EPA 4 MACT standard. Co-Chair Kevin Hadden also gave an update on legislation affecting air quality programs. Land Subcommittee: Chair Layne Baroldi gave a regulatory update that included discussion of the statewide biosolids land application EIR, the Kem County biosolids ordinance, and the Kings County biosolids ordinance. Mr. Baroldi also discussed biosolids advocacy including the National Biosolids Partnership and the Code of Good Practice. Water Subcommittee: Chair Bob Reid presided over a full agenda that included discussions of the status of the Bay Protection and Toxic Cleanup Program, the California Toxics Rule (CTR) and State Implementation Policy (SIP), EPA's Advance Notice of Proposed Rule Making (ANPRM), California's Ocean Plan amendments, and the proposed revisions to EPA's human health criteria. Members of the subcommittee also gave updates on EPA's multimedia strategy for persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) pollutants, NPDES permitting issues, 303(d) list/Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) issues, and 305(b) reporting issues. An explanation and update on CASA's Litigation Task Force activities was also provided. Tri-Tac Activities — Margie Nellor, Th-TAC Chair, reported that Tri-TAC committee continues to meet every month. Of discussion has been the affects of CASA joining the Impaired Water Bodies litigation. There is a huge unknown as to whether it will result in more clout or less access. She also thanked Jay James, Stage Sanitary District for his help on the Tri-TAC web page. Unfinished Business— None New Business— President Bewley motioned for consideration of approving an amendment to the 1996-1999 Budget establishing a Litigation Expense line item in the amount of$75,000.

EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT ENTERTAINMENT& And if you live or work anywhere near Aliso Creek from TRAVEL es Mod' ka Canyon to La Laguna Beach, you've probably helped FUN&GAMES Jg Y P Y P HEALTH&FITNESS muck up that particular watershed, according to a study LIBERTY ONLINE released Wednesday by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. LIVING&SHOPPING POLmCS& GOVERNMENT Corps officials presented the first part of a two-year, $1.2 REAL ESTATE million Aliso Creek watershed management study to the TECH OGY agencies that helped pay for the review: the county,six water SERVICES& PROMOTIONS districts, the Aliso Water Management Agency, five cities and SPORTS&RECREATION the community of Aliso Viejo. The local entities have together WEATHER paid 50 percent of the study's cost,while the corps picked up the other half of the bill. The study is expected to determine why the creek's water temperatures have increased in the past 30 years, leading to skyrocketing levels of bacterial coliform that make the creek uninhabitable to fish and wildlife. Final conclusions are still about a year away, but the study so far has identified a number of factors that contribute to pollution in the 20-mile-long Aliso Creek: . Overgrading for inland development, which changes the landscape and affects the waters natural flow. If the water isn't properly filtered through the ground, it is too rich with nutrients when it reaches the ocean. • The creation of flood control channels by cementing creek beds, which causes a similar flow problem. . Toxic car products and lawn fertilizers, which drain into the watershed. . Non-native plants—such as the bamboo-like arundo—which have squeezed out natural habitat in some areas of the creek, changing the eco-system. http://www.ocregister.com/community/shedOI9w.shtml 3/19/99 . Periodic sewer-pipe leaks from the various sanitation agencies that line the watershed. These problems have caused the closure of Aliso Beach more than 18 times in the past four years,said Larry Honeyboume, water quality chief for the Orange County Health Care Agency. "There is not one pipe you can point to,"said Larry Paul,a lead county public works official. "It's an accumulation of our culture." Once the study is completed,the corps will make recommendations to cool down water and restore natural habitat. The federal government would probably pick up 65 percent of the tab for any projects that result from the study, and local governments,the county and water districts will have to pick up the rest,Paul said. More than 35 surfers,teachers;water district employees and Laguna Beach City Council members filled a meeting hall Wednesday to hear about the study. They made impassioned speeches about how to best restore the creek to its natural state. Not all agreed with the preliminary findings,and some said the study is not focusing enough attention on water quality. "We can spend millions of dollars improving and restoring Aliso Creek, but that restoration project will not be enough because the pollution is still coming in through the storm drains," said Wayne Baglin,chairman of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Only rainwater is supposed to travel down storm drains, but frequently everything from bricks to motor oil flows through the system, officials said. Baglin suggested that the county take a more aggressive approach in enforcing the storm drain restrictions. Cities that allow polluted water to run into the storm drains should be fined and forced to clean up their acts,he said. Paul said that is one of many approaches the county is considering in its evaluation of the creek.And many local agencies that feed into the creek said the threats of fines have them paying attention. "Not only are sewer spills not acceptable,they're not going to happen," said Michael Dunbar, South Coast Water District general manager. "That message was loud and clear. Enforcement is a part of it, but a much larger part of it is that our customers are just not going to accept that anymore." Bill Roley, who runs an ecological design business,said he's http://www.ocregister.conVcommwiity/shed0I9w.shtml 3/19/99 optimistic that South Orange County may finally be coming together to solve a problem for which everyone is culpable: "This is possibly the first time that groups who usually see each other in court are sitting around the same table,"he said.

SPORTS RECREATION WEATHER But the purpose of the giant dam is to protect people downstream, especially Orange County residents, from catastrophic 100-year floods—disasters statisticians say should occur about once every 100 years. "It's a double-edged sword," said Scott Eliason,a botanist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "Floods that would potentially cause damage to life and property also renew life for the species in this particular habitat." Eliason said his agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers —the target of the lawsuit—have been discussing informally how to avoid harming the three species by depriving them of floodwaters. The lawsuit,Eliason said, will serve to focus public scrutiny on those discussions. One option under discussion would involve releasing flood- mimicking flows from the dam periodically to simulate the conditions the three species need, Eliason said. The U.S. http://www.ocregister.com/commmity/damOl9w.shtml 3/19/99 Department of the Interior has been experimenting with such releases in places like the Grand Canyon and reporting some success in restoring flood-dependent habitat. Eliason said he believes Fish and Wildlife and the Army Corps eventually would have taken formal steps to protect the three species even if the lawsuit had not been filed. But Greenwald contends that the Army Corps has taken too long to come up with a protection plan. Fish and Wildlife first alerted the Army Corps to concerns about the three species in 1994. "I think the corps has just been delaying,basically trying to get the dam frrished," Greenwald said. Army Corps officials declined to comment on the suit, citing an agency prohibition against talking about pending litigation. But spokesman Herb Nesmith said investigating the effects of construction on endangered species is routine for the agency, and was done for the Seven Oaks Dam. "Before we ever go out and turn over the first shovelful of dirt on a new project, we do go out and look at environmental stuff," he said. The dam is part of$1.3 billion worth of flood control along the Santa Ana River called the Santa Ana Mainstem project. Army Corps attorney John Gleason said that if the groups succeed in stopping dam construction,which should be completed this summer, "it could be very substantial in terms of costs." The suit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court.Not only the Southwest Center,but the California Native Plant Society and the Tri-County Conservation League were listed as plaintiffs in the case. The kangaroo rat nests and forages in open,sandy flats known as alluvial fan sage scrub. The woollystar also requires such flats to survive, and the spineflower needs flooding in order to disperse its seeds. The taming of rivers and streams with dams and concrete, however, has greatly reduced alluvial fan sage scrub throughout Southern California.

What agricultural interests claim as a right, critics call an inexcusable waste. By TONYPERRY, Times Staff Writer OLTVILLE, Calif.—As water cascades from sprinklers onto a field of red potatoes, farm manager Barn Ries explains Imperial Valley's irrigation policy. "We flood,we furrow, we drip, we sprinkle," said Ries, who ADVERTISEMENT manages the fields for Vessey&Co. of EI Centro,which has 6,000 F11101410ar acres under cultivation. "We do anything we need to. Water is the namSday. only advantage we have here." But what Res sees as an advantage, some see as an outrage. The irrigation practices of Imperial Valley farmers are being branded by some state legislators and the mammoth Metropolitan Water District of Southern California as wantonly wasteful and a b-_ threat to the states economy and future growth. j L. On Thursday, the MWD will carry its dire message to a WN11 negotiating session in Los Angeles with an Interior Department mediator working on behalf of Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. The mediator is trying to keep this classically California confrontation between big cities and big farms from erupting into litigation and political truculence that could disrupt, if not destroy, efforts to ensure an adequate supply of water for the entire region. Bruce Kuhn, the Imperial Irrigation District's board president, says the city-centric MWD just does not understand fanning. "Conserving water while growing crops isn4 as easy as sticking a brick in the toilet tank," he said. Still, the numbers are stark: 16 million people in six Southern California counties use 3.5 million acre-feet of water each year. By comparison, the 135,000 people of the Imperial Valley use 3.1 million acre-feet of water, 98%of it to irrigate 500,000 desert acres of crops. With Southern California scrambling to meet an anticipated 37% increase in water demand in the next two decades, it is no wonder that thirsty eyes have turned to Imperial Valley and the alleged irrigation sins of its farmers. The farmers have heard it all before and are unfazed. Imperial http://www.latimes.com/CNS_DAYS/990406/t00003041 Lhtml 4/6/99 Mediator Will Try to Keep Water War From Boiling Over Page 2 of 5 district officials are ready--even eager--to tell federal mediator David Hayes what they think is really behind the MWD's concern about irrigation efficiency. "They want to steal our water," Imperial board member Don Cox said matter-of-factly. "One way to get it is to charge us with wasting water." In the zero-sum game of water, more water for the farmers of Holtville means less water for the heavily populated regions of coastal Southern California, which have had to Team to conserve water at the same time usage in Imperial County has risen. "I urge you to recognize that you have taken the side of the largest water waster in the state,"David Freeman,general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power,wrote to an environmentalist who dared side with Imperial Valley. Imperial farmers are unapologetic that Imperial,the Coachella Valley Water District and two smaller agricultural districts, under a 1931 federal agreement, get 85%of California's share of the Colorado River. "I'm a farmer in the Imperial Valley and I grow a lot of wheat, sugar beets and onions," Imperial board member Lloyd Allen told the MWD board recently. "Those crops use a hell of a lot of water, and we've got a hell of a lot of water." The desert districts get the hones share of the Colorado River based on the principle of"first in time, first in right." Imperial Valley was pulling water from the Colorado River four decades before the Colorado Aqueduct and Hoover Dam were delivering water from the river for Los Angeles and elsewhere in Southern California. Desert Transformed by Water With a supply of water that is cheap and unlimited, Imperial Valley farmers overcome the heat, the poor soil and plagues of pests to grow nearly a billion dollars worth of crops a year. All of this in a stony desert that was never meant for planting. It is an article of faith among farmers here that cheap water is what makes agriculture economically viable. Water rights are seen as being as inviolable as property rights. "Whenever I need water for wheat, Ijust pick up the phone and I say, 'Lord, give me 10 foot of water for two days; " Allen said, as MWD board members listened in wide-eyed annoyance. "The national average for wheat in the U.S. is about 35-36 bushels per acre, but our average is 130-140. And that's because when we want water, we just call for it and get it." There have been significant improvements in the Imperial district's maze of canals and pumping systems to reduce seepage and other water losses—more than $100 million of it financed, ironically, by Metropolitan. But the drive to get farmers to spend money on more efficient irrigation in their fields has had only limited success. http://www.latimes.com/CNS—DAYS/990406/t00003041 Lhtml 4/6/99 Medtator Will Try to Keep Water War From Boiling Over Page 3 of 5 "We literally can't get guys to buy water probes to check [water loss] in their soil because water is so cheap," said David Bradshaw, Imperial's irrigation supervisor. There has been no economic incentive for Imperial Valley farmers to go into hock to install conservation systems that can cost $1,000 an awe or more. Not with water at S14 an acre-foot compared to, for example, more than$600 an acre-foot for avocado growers in San Diego County. "Farmers down here are already borrowing money for seed and fertilizer," said agronomist Kevin Grizzle, whose family has farmed here since 1911. "To borrow$1,200 an acre extra is just not possible. The banks just won't go for it." To support its contention that Imperial Valley wastes water, the MWD points to numbers showing water use here increasing by 400,000 awe-feet in recent years while usage in coastal areas has been decreasing. Metropolitan Board Chairman Phillip Pace says Imperial Valley is "out of step with a new water-use ethic in California." But farmers say there are good reasons for their increased water use—and that the MWD's refusal to understand those reasons belies an ignorance of agriculture. Grizzle and other farmers say that water use has increased because fluctuating prices have forced them to shift to more water- intensive crops and to grow two or three crops a year on the same acreage. A truism bears mentioning: Agriculture in the Imperial Valley and elsewhere is an annual wapshoot. A drop in agricultural commodity prices can make a crop not worth harvesting. "It's not unusual to see a field of perfectly good broccoli plowed under," Grizzle said. The current confrontation between the Metropolitan Water District and Imperial Valley is a result of an attempt by Interior Secretary Babbitt and Hayes to solve a feud between Imperial Valley and its northern neighbor, Coachella. It's an old water story: Solve one problem, cause another. The essence of the dispute is that the MWD believes Babbitt flinched rather than back up his tough talk about forcing Imperial Valley to curb its take from the Colorado River. Babbitt has been threatening for several years to reduce California's allocation from the Colorado River, which would bit the California economy like a body slam applied by a big-time wrestler. To get California on the road to using less water,Babbitt favors a proposed deal whereby Imperial would sell water to San Diego County, an MWD member. San Diego County would pay the farmers to install conservation devices in their fields. But before that deal can be consummated, Imperial and Coachella need to reach a compromise on thorny allocation issues. Coachella has been alleging since the 1930s that Imperial conspired with the federal government to cheat it of its rightful share of the http://www.latimes.com/CNS_DAYS/990406/t000030411.html 4/6/99 Mediator Will "fry to Keep Water War From Boiling Over Page 4 of 5 Colorado River. In December,Babbitt told a Colorado River convention in Las Vegas that a "peace agreement" between Imperial Valley and Coachella was at hand. Coachella would get more water and drop its threat of a lawsuit. Imperial would get an allocation roughly at its current usage level.Both sides would agree not to hurl water-waster insults and to refrain from hiring consultants to check up on each others irrigation practices. "Considering the intensity that marks the Colorado River water wars, I would classify the progress to date as a minor miracle," Babbitt said. His optimism proved short-lived. The howling from the MWD began immediately. Board members accused Babbitt of settling the skirmish between the two irrigation districts by taking water from Metropolitan and letting Imperial farmers get away with a"rush to the pump." That's a nasty phrase suggesting that farmers are using more water than necessary because they want to increase usage and have lots of excess water to sell to San Diego at enormous profits. State Officials See a Waste of Water The MWD is not the only voice charging Imperial Valley with using water in a profligate manner. In the 1980s, the state Water Resources Control Board accused Imperial of wasting water through inefficient irrigation. In the 1990s, the federal Bureau of Reclamation did the same. Imperial fought back with its own experts, who came to opposite conclusions. Last summer, an attorney for the Coachella Valley Water District wrote to Hayes: "The time has come for the Bureau [of Reclamation] and the state to tell [the Imperial Irrigation District] to put up or shut up;to stop talking and instead take meaningful action to reduce" waste. In March, Assemblyman Michael Machado (D-Linden), chairman of the Water,Parks and Wildlife Committee, publicly scolded Imperial Irrigation District General Manager Jesse Silva. He plans a full hearing later this month. "I just don't think III) has employed the water conservation measures that farmers elsewhere have had to employ," said Machado, a farmer. "I raise alfalfa and some of the crops they do, and my costs for water are almost double." Machado and others, farmers here say, don't understand desert farming or realize that irrigation methods that work elsewhere are sometimes useless here. They say they would gladly trade their cheap water for the kinder soils and gentler conditions in the state's agricultural midsection. "People who think fanning is easy in the Imperial Valley should come take a look," Ries said. "They would leave with a different http://www.latimes.conVCNS—DAYS/990406/t00003041 I.htmI 4/6/99 Mediator Will Try to Keep Water War From Boiling Over Page 5 of 5 idea." In January, the MWD suggested that Babbitt alter the 1931 agreement that allocates Colorado River water. That produced a volley of angry words from Imperial, Coachella and environmentalists. Babbitt said he lacked authority to tinker with the 1931 pact. As a political strategy, attacking the 1931 agreement proved to be a dog that simply refused to hunt. MWD officials have since dropped that line of attack in favor of an insistence that Imperial farmers are grossly inefficient and should not have to be paid to install water conservation equipment. After all, the NM says, state and federal law requires that water be used efficiently,which, alas, is an enormously ill-defined concept. A fly on the wall at Thursdays session at MWD headquarters between mediator Hayes, state water chief Tom Hannigan and the combatants would doubtless get an earful of water realpohtik. The MWD fears that Hayes and Babbitt favor the farmers. The farmers fear the political muscle of an agency that provides water to 16 million people. "Our only tool is fairness,"Cox said. "They may have enough horsepower to steal our water but we hope not." Convrudi 1999 Los Angeles Times.

Diversions The city's plan to purify sewage so that it could be used for drinking Weather water was all but dead prior to yesterday's meeting of the council's Natural Resources &Culture Committee. In January, the City Council had eliminated the $154 million program's funding. But yesterday's 5-0 committee vote officially killed the program. One of the city's waste water officials likened the decision to a funeral, and some council members lamented the loss of the program and blamed it on politics. Councilwoman Valerie Stallings was among those who predicted that the "repurified water" program, as the city called it, would be revived in the future. "It's unfortunate that so many people who were Fear-mongers and demagogues didn't give us the opportunity to have a fair and open discussion of this," Stallings said. "I'm sorry to see it put on the shelf, but I acknowledge we can't go any further with it now." Councilwoman Christine Kehoe was among those who expressed no regrets about the program's demise. "San Diegans made it clear they were not ready for repurified water," she said, encouraging other council members on the committee to focus on projects that the public accepts, such as using reclaimed water to irrigate landscaping. http://www.urion-trib.com/news/metro/990401-0010_7mltoi.htrW 4/2199 SrgnUn San Diego Metro -- S.D. panel ends water reuse plan Page 2 of 3 The city's Metropolitan Wastewater Department had spent more than $15 million and five years vigorously pursuing the idea of treating waste water to the point it could be using for drinking water. The concept arose as a way to help the city beneficially reuse at least half of the water produced by the North City Water Reclamation Plant in University City. The plant treats 22 million gallons of sewage a day. Only two million of those gallons are used by nearby companies, schools and governmental agencies to water landscaping. The rest is sent to the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment plant, where it is treated again and discharged at sea. A$76 million federal grant that helped pay for the water-reclamation plant requires San Diego to make "a good faith effort" to reuse at least half of the water from the plant by 2010. Waste water officials determined that the least expensive way to meet that goal was to take the reclaimed water, put it through even more - intensive treatment, and then mix it with drinking water in a local reservoir. It would have been the first project of its kind in the state. Waste water officials planned to have the highly treated sewage flowing to San Diegans' taps as early as 2001 or 2002. Many civic organizations, from the local chapter of the Sierra Club to the Greater San Diego Chamber of Commerce, endorsed the project. Renowned scientists and water-treatment experts deemed the purified water safe to drink. Last year, however, other equally renowned scientists weighed in with concerns about the project's safety, and city residents began speaking out against it. In December, Mayor Susan Golding said she also had enough concerns about the project's cost and safety to oppose it. In January, the City Council all but killed the program when it refused to budget the $15 million needed this year to keep the research and construction plans going. David Schlesinger, director of the Metropolitan Wastewater Department, is examining other ways to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's goal of reusing half of the reclaimed water from the University City plant. The options include industrial use of the reclaimed water, and http://www.uriion-tfib.com/news/metro/990401-0010_7mltoi.htn l 4/2/99 • S.D. panel ends water reuse plan Page 3 of 3 extending the pipelines used to distribute it.

Those present from the SARWG included Lindell Marsh, Robert Feenstra, Bill Geyer, Bob Ghirelli, Layne Baroldi (OCSD), Ted Vitko (OCSD), Cindy Gehman (DOWD), Brian Bahane(OCWD)and a representative from the Resource Conservation District. After introductions, Lindell, Robert, Bill, and Bob briefed the guest on the condition of the watershed and on SARWG's goals and progress to date to remedy the problems. Nelson said that the SARWG group's efforts has resulted in the Chino Basin becoming a much talked about concern back in Washington that needs to be addressed. This view was shared by Courtney and Eric. After the initial briefing, the guest were taken on the tour of the Chino Basin and downstream portion of the watershed. The tour included visits to the following sites: 1. Dairy fanning operations 2. San Bernardino dairy drainage control projects 3. Inland Empire Utilities Agency's co-composting operation 4. Orange County Water District's constructed wetlands S. Anaheim ground water recharge basins 6. Orange County Sanitation District's Plant 1 facilities 7.

Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles) that a 10-chemical toxic brew subjects Los Angeles residents to 426 times the permissible federal cancer risk. ADVERTISEMENT Drafted by Democratic staffers on Waxman's House Government Reform Committee, the report was not just misleading, but it also shows how media-savvy environmental advocates increasingly distort public-health priorities. Based on weekly air samples taken by state officials at three locations in greater Los Angeles from 1995-98, the report computed average annual concentrations of 10 auto- exhaust-related chemicals like benzene and butadiene. The results were then weighed against the purported "health goals" of the federal Clean Air Act. These goals aim to prevent more than one additional incidence of cancer per million people over 70 years. Average concentrations of these exhaust-related chemicals, the report found, exceeded the goals. The committee staff and countless media reports grimly concluded that, despite apparent progress, L.A. residents are still being silently poisoned by the air they breathe. This "finding" is simply false. There are no federal ambient-air health goals for the chemicals Waxman's team examined. Sadly for government officials who deserve kudos, not criticism, California's stringent controls are dramatically reducing such emissions at rates certainly faster than less-regulated regions. The report's most serious flaw is its misuse of federal regulations setting limits for individual emission sources as the measure of total ambient-air safety. Under the Clean Air Act, "point-source" standards for factories, gas stations, dry cleaners, etc., ensure that no single emissions source will unreasonably degrade the air. These separate standards cannot be used to measure overall air safely http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/HEALTH/MEDICINE/t000027477.htmi 4/1/9 The Danger of Hyping Hazards Page 2 of without producing absurd results. Many of the chemicals studied by the report, for example, occur naturally in the atmosphere at several times the emission levels permitted from any point-source. If such standards embodied the nation's overall ambient-air goals, the government would be in the difficult position of mandating air quality even nature can't achieve. It would be highly unusual, moreover, if a region's ambient air didn't substantially exceed a single source's emission restrictions. The act's health goals were set with the knowledge that individual point-source emissions would collect in the atmosphere. Using these goals to critique overall air quality is like claiming an airplane is unsafe because total on-board luggage exceeds the two-bags-per- person limit. The report is also marred by numerous technical flaws. It calculates regional air quality for hundreds of square miles from sampling data that state officials specifically say cannot be used in this fashion. Scientific audits also show that chemical analyses of the gases collected in each sampling canister are subject to considerable error. Yet, none are factored into the report's numbers. Even more troubling is the report's implication that that the public is being ill informed about, and inadequately protected from, toxic-air risks. Waxman's staff focused on Los Angeles precisely because California collects and publicizes more detailed air-quality information than anywhere else. It's also misleading to suggest that California has done little in response. During 1990-96 alone, the same statistics used by Waxman's team shows that the state's tough emission controls reduced butadiene and benzene, which together account for more than 70% of the report's purported cancer risk, by a whopping 40% to 67%. That's a roaring success by any measure, particularly when the state's car-driving population is growing. Far more than the "health risk" it largely manufactured, the Waxman report highlights the growing lack of perspective that afflicts present-day environmentalism. At a time when California's schoolchildren can't match the reading skills of Mississippi's, and 25% of the population is growing poorer amid an economic boom, why should public debate be diverted by an incorrectly stated "problem"that is, in any case, dramatically improving? Ecological activists rabidly resist measuring their goals against other critical concerns like economics. No less than Vice President At Gore repeatedly likens environmental- policy skeptics to people who ignored the sounds of shattering glass during the horror of Kristallnacht, the evening in 1938 when Hitler's Brown Shirts stored http:/twww.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/HEALTH/MEDICINE/1000027477.htmi 4/1/9 The Danger of Hyping Hazards Page 3 of synagogues and killed scores of Jews. Contrary points of view, Gore and others urge, should just be ignored or downplayed. The growing waste and social conflicts generated by such pretensions, however, demand that scrutiny begin. Even if accurate, for example, the 400-cancers-per- million-person lifetime risk the Waxman report "discovered" would amount to less than .16% of the total 250,000- cancer-per-million person risk everyone faces. Every form of pollution taken together, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency, causes just 1% to 3% of all cancers, compared with 35% for poor diet or 30%from smoking. A Harvard Center for Risk Analysis study showed that federal pollution controls cost $7.6 million to save a single life-year—the most expensive of all kinds of expenditures— versus $19,000 for medical care. If it were truly concerned with the public-health goal of reducing cancer risks, the Waxman report would focus on diets, smoking and medical care. Instead, like far too many environmental "crises," it diverts attention from true priorities toward a narrow, far less significant agenda. As environmentalism moves from immediate, but now generally regulated dangers, like massive toxic discharges, to more refined matters of aesthetics or suburban "livability," latent class conflicts are also starting to erupt. Pollution abatement often imposes highly regressive costs. In the early 1990s, for instance, the cost burdens of Southern California's air-quality management plans were estimated to be three times greater for the region's poorest households than for its wealthiest. Activists dismiss such irritants by arguing that a better environment helps everyone. An unequivocal ecological crisis notwithstanding, the adverse health consequences of reduced economic opportunities for the poor vastly overwhelm any environmental benefits they may enjoy from, say, cleaner air. Air pollution reduces average life expectancy in the United States by perhaps 30 days. Poverty strips away 10 years. Driven by such enormous disparities, volatile social conflicts can result from ill-considered environmental initiatives. Last year's fight over banning gas-driven leaf blowers pitted L.A.'s wealthier communities against Latino gardeners. Similar conflicts are emerging in other public- policy arenas. Urban development and ethnic activists, for example, are increasingly outraged by the unwillingness of well-heeled environmentalists to help resolve land-use and growth issues affecting their communities, such as cleaning up contaminated property. America's stock-driven prosperity may suggest that the http:/twww.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/HEALTH/MEDICINE/1000027477.html 411/9 The Danger of Hyping Hazards Page 4.of concerns of the comfortable are of paramount political interest.

With five federal construction contracts to complete in Jess than one year, our offices have been busy to say the least. In an effort to market the federal government, I attended a contract signing ceremony between the Small Business Administration and the National Hispanic Builders Association at the White House this past week. During this trip I met with several Congressmen and Senators to appeal to their constituents' interests in government contracting, especially for the small business community. My experience with tracking ECM's legislation gave me a solid foundation in preparing for this business trip; I had a direct knowledge to locate the proper representatives based on their committee assignments and how to focus the right amount of attention on their personal causes. To be honest, I was uncertain how my legislative training at the District would relate to my interests in private industry markets. I'm glad to say that my internship was a valuable experience that allowed me to bring a distinct advantage to the bargaining table. Time and again, I have relied on the legislative skills I learned at ECM to maintain government paperwork requirements. 1 wanted to relate to you how effective your internship program was for me.

Already this year, bills to force health maintenance organizations to cover contraception and mental health treatment, a restoration of the eight-hour work day, and pay raise bills for state workers are recirculating through the Legislature. Another old idea, one that has not received a lot of attention in the past, has resurfaced in a bill by Sen. Hilda Solis(D-La Puente) to reorganize the executive branch bureaucracy and create a new state labor agency. The bill, SB 150, is similar to a bill introduced in 1993 by then-Assm. Terry Friedman(D-Los Angeles). H would move a number of agencies, including the Agricultural Labor Relations Board, the Dept. of Fair Employment and Housing, and the Employment Development Dept. into the new labor agency,which would be run by a cabinet level appointee, the state secretary of labor. "This is simply a matter of moving boxes around," said Pat Henning, consultant for Senate Industrial Relations, which Solis chairs. "You might run into some turf wars, but I think those can be reconciled." Although there is currently no department of labor or cabinet-level labor post, there is an ad hoc agency which handles much of what the new department would oversee —the Dept. of Industrial Relations. That department would be replaced by the new, more powerful labor agency if this bill ultimately becomes law. Industrial Relations Dir. Steve Smith did not return calls seeking comment. In addition to turf wars with other agencies-- most notably Health and Human Services, which currently oversees many of the big-ticket departments which would be shuttled into a labor agency— Sobs will have to overcome opposition from business groups. Neither the Calif. Manufacturers Assn. or the Calif. Chamber of Commerce has taken a formal position on the bill, but business groups have opposed the idea in previous incarnations. "This creates a whole new level of government bureaucracy," said one business representative. "One of our concerns is that a lot of new oversight programs would be funded by user fees on the industry, like we have seen with the Dept. of Pesticide Regulation and other state departments." t But tax hikes for businesses are a secondary concern for many business leaders. Privately, they worry about couching industry regulators in the same agency with EDD,which investigates labor claims against employers. "We're not thrilled about it," said one business advocate. "If all they want is a labor secretary, I wouldn't oppose it. But dumping all these things together could be a big problem for us." Organized labor is also taking a watch position for now, though they are likely to support the bill once the details are ironed out. "We're kind of waiting to see how it develops," said Drew Mendelson, spokesman for the Calif. State Employees Assn. "Nonetheless, it could potentially be helpful to consolidate issues that effect working people in one state agency." But for now, Mendelson and other labor leaders are focused on other priorities — namely getting a pay raise for their workers and restoring the eight-hour work day. Officially, Gov. Gray Davis is neutral on the bill, though Henning said, "Gray is open to the idea." In fact, according to one source close to the issue, Davis may not even wait for legislation to create the agency. He can create the new agency virtually by executive fiat simply by submitting a government reorganization plan. Davis' press office said those talks are premature. "The governor has informally discussed ways of making government more effective in serving the public," said Davis spokeswoman Hilary McLean. She said a report by the governor's Innovation in Government Task Force, headed by former State Bar Assn. chief executive Steven Nissen, will submit a report to the governor sometime in the future which may or may not address the labor agency issue. 2 County to expand tests for bacteria at beaches HEALTH: The new law MORE INSIDE could lead to more fre- quent shutdowns of sec- P'06A; How the new state law af- fects laal beaches.Nears 14 tions of the coastline.

Sites available for dumping biosolids shrink Filed: March 26, 1999 By WENDY OWEN Californian staff writer e-mail: wowenObakersfield.com The field is narrowing for Southern California sanitation districts that want to deposit their sewage and industrial wastes, which makes Kern County more valuable as a sludge destination. Lancaster, about 30 miles south of Mojave in Los Angeles County, is expected to ban commercial biosolids in its city limits. The planning commission recommended against biosolids application and the city council will make a final decision April 13. That brings the number of governments that have ruled against biosolids recently to at least four. All have given similar reasons for the bans. "There are too many questions about the science," said Brian Ludicke, Lancaster assistant director of community development. "We recommended the city take the prudent course and not allow commercial application of the material until . . . there is some agreement between the conflicting sides out there." Sutter, Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties prohibit "imported" biosolids on land within their borders, including private farm acreage. Locally generated sludge, however, is allowed. Bicsolids, also known as sewage sludge, is a collection of human and industrial waste that is treated and trucked or piped to farm land and used as fertilizer. The practice has been 1n use for decades About 1 million tons of wet sludge is transported from Southern California to 40,000 acres of agriculture land in Kern County annually. In addition, Bakersfield spreads about 10,000 tons a year of locally treated sludge. - Although Lancaster currently has no biosolids sites in the city limits, the issue brought Los Angeles County Sanitation District's Bob Horvath to a public meeting in the city last week. We don't think they should send out the message that it's not safe to recycle biosolids," Horvath said. "It's understandable that they may not want composting facilities within the city limits. We suggested that there are other ways to deal with it than prohibition." Los Angeles County Sanitation District treats sewage for 5 million people in all cities except Los Angeles, which has its own sanitation department. It contracts with private haulers to send the wet and composted sludge to several areas, including Kern, Kings and Riverside counties. "we've got that diversity going and we don't want to lose it," Horvath said. Orange County Sanitation District is also watching the growing list of governments restricting biosolids. The Orange County District has more options than Los Angeles for sludge application, including Kern, Kings, San Diego and Riverside counties and in Arizona, but Environmental Compliance 6 Monitoring Manager Michael Moore is still worried. "I worry about everything because the material (sludge) keeps getting generated. We have no control over that," he said. "We believe in beneficially recycling the material and would like to keep the ag land open to us." Orange County sends about 2,000 tons of sludge a week to Kern County. Los Angeles city, Los Angeles County and Orange County have little land on which to recycle the biosolids and must look elsewhere. Horvath said it's only fair that Kern County take some of the waste because much of it is generated from the crops grown here and sold in Los Angeles County. "We're getting the ag products down here from your counties and we're sending back the residue," he said. The loss of land available for biosolids could push sanitation districts or private haulers to purchase land in Kern or other counties to ensure they have future sites. Currently, most pay contractors to haul and spread the biosolids on land owned by private individuals, usually farmers. The city of Oxnard already owns land in Kern County west of Wasco. Orange and Los Angeles sanitation districts have not ruled out the idea. Los Angeles City is also seeking land. According to meeting minutes, the City of Los Angeles Board of Public Works authorized its sanitation bureau to "initiate negotiations with potential farmland sellers to purchase permitted acreage for the beneficial reuse of city biosolids." Officials at the Los Angeles Sanitation department could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon. The Los Angeles Sanitation department was rumored to be behind a bid for land on Taft Highway near Interstate 5 earlier this month that is currently used by them and Bakersfield for biosolids application. The city of Bakersfield had already purchased the land and a legal wrangling has yet to be resolved in the matter. Los Angeles department officials denied negotiating for the land, but said a private company that hauls for them could be the bidder.

SPORTS&RECREATION B q Y Y B ry' WEATHER The study, set for release today, says about 95 percent of the 80,000 water samples taken last summer between Santa Barbara and Ensenada, Mexico, met standards set by state health officials to prevent illnesses such as fever, earaches and diarrhea. Scientists focused on the entire coastline so they could get an overview of the region, rather than just looking at well-known "hot spots." "The bacteria washed into the ocean by winter rains dies quickly and is dispersed by ocean currents, so we don't find too many of these organisms in the summer, when there's less runoff," said Charles McGee, a microbiologist for the Orange County Sanitation District. The district was one of 22 agencies involved in the study, which followed the guidelines of AB 411, a new state law that requires coastal counties to sample for three groups of bacteria. More than 360 water samples were collected from 86 sites in Orange County. Final statistics weren't available Thursday.

"It's good to know that overall water quality is actually good except for the watershed areas where the storm drains are, and river mouths," said Michelle Kremer, acting executive director for the San Clemente-based Surfrider Foundation, an environmental group that lobbied for passage of AB 411.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS (Tuchman) The Director of Communications reported that a field trip for Board members to Chino Basin and throughout the Santa Ana Watershed is tentatively planned for Saturday, May 15. The Security Steering Committee is implementing a new procedural change at the front gate. The front gate will only be opened during peak business hours, which consist of early morning, lunchtime and evenings. It will be closed at all other times. Employees will be required to wear their badges at all times and new distinct badges will be given to outside consultants and construction crews. Minutes of the Operations, Maintenance and Technical Services Committee Page 3 April 7, 1999 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (Miles) The Director of Information Technology gave no report. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (Ooten) The Director of Operations and Maintenance reported that the wastewater flow to the treatment plants remains low, which reduces Operations costs. The flow is low due to the low rainfall experienced this winter. We have had no storms large enough to influence the infiltration and inflow into the sewers. Operations continue to make progress-reducing odors at the treatment plants and in the collection system. Staff continues to receive good reviews and thanks from plant neighbors and personnel living along the collection system. The first Reinvention workshop of eight is in progress this week. It is a cross-functional effort designed to list automation and treatment plant reinvention projects to be evaluated in the next phase. Operation and Maintenance costs are about 5% under budget, while Central Generation costs are higher due to having shifted natural gas out of two of operations Divisions and into Can Gen so that Division's costs are not an apple-to-apple comparison to last year's costs. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES (Ghirelli) The Southern California Coastal Water Research Project will release its Shoreline Microbiology Report on Friday. The results of a regional testing program conducted last summer confirm that 95% of the beaches in Southern California meet health standards and that the majority of beach ciosures are associated with flowing storm drains and other freshwater outlets. The Kern County Resources Management Agency released a public review draft of the biosolids ordinance. Staff is reviewing the document and will submit comments to RMA staff. It is expected the CEQA review process leading up to adoption of the ordinance by the Board of Supervisors could take 4 to 6 months. REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel was not in attendance.

SUMMARY In the course of preparing for the Year 2000 Date Change, District staff determined that external events, such as loss of utilities, would have a serious detrimental effect on the operation of the District's facilities. The contingency plans and related procedures recommended in this report will provide for efficient response to external events outside the District's control, such as loss of power, natural gas, or city water. These documents will be integrated into the Integrated Emergency Response Plan (IERP) and into Operating Manuals so staff can respond effectively and efficiently to these external events regardless of when they arise. Therefore, the plans and related documents will have a long-term benefit to the District beyond the Year 2000 Date Change. Communications Performance Group, Inc. (CPG)was awarded a $ 50,000 contract via District procedures to complete an External Event Contingency Plans and Procedures Needs Assessment (Needs Assessment), which was initiated on February 1, 1999, and will be complete by April 1, 1999. The Needs Assessment was sole sourced to CPG via District procedures based on their familiarity and understanding of the District's processes and facilities, familiarity with the District's staff and key subject matter experts, experience performing similar work for the District during the development of the IERP and High Flow Emergency Response Plan, and the need for expediency. The preliminary findings of the Needs Assessment are presented in this report. CPG's findings indicate that since the major utilities are critical to sustaining operations, contingency plans and procedures must be developed immediately to address the following: • Electrical outage at Plant No. 1, Plant No. 2, and/or in the Collection System • Natural gas outage at either plant • Loss of city water, plant water, or reclaimed water at either plant • Loss of telephone service to pump stations for central monitoring caeMwemi.AMIWS.pma.r d= R.W.. KM8 Page 1 In addition, the Needs Assessment indicated the need for the following plans: • Loss of Supervisory Control Acquisition and Data Analysis (SCADA) systems at Y� Plant No. 1, Plant No. 2, and/or in the Collection System • Inability to ship biosolids • Work stoppage • Emergency communications During the completion of this project, equipment and supplies that will enable the District to better manage potential outages will be identified and purchased, as required, using established District procedures. Staff recommend the sole source award of this Consultant Services Agreement to Communications Performance Group, Inc. based on their thorough understanding of the District's facilities, processes, and personnel, their technical expertise, and expediency. The schedule constraints of this project are very pressing. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY See attached spreadsheet. BUDGETIMPACT ® This item has been budgeted. (Line item: Special Projects 2q) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The recommended plans and related documents will have a long-term benefit to the District beyond the Year 2000 Date Change Project. External event contingency plans and related procedures need to be developed to provide for an efficient response to such events as electrical outage and loss of natural gas or city water. These documents will be integrated into the IERP and into Operating Manuals so that staff can be trained to respond effectively and efficiently to these contingencies regardless of when they arise. Background The Integrated Emergency Response Plan (IERP) was developed in 1996 to satisfy regulatory requirements for emergency response plans for such events as fires, hazardous materials spills, and earthquakes. The regulations do not address possible outcomes associated with these events, such as utility outages and operational upsets. However, it became evident during the development of the High Flow Emergency Response Plan in 1997 during the District's El Nino preparedness campaign that the IERP is an excellent device for coordinating actions that affect the operations and maintenance of District facilities during emergency events. CAMM mmWwo.� . R.0 WM Page 2 Extraordinary events that affect operations, such as high flows and utility outages, are best managed using the Incident Command System (ICS) which is the backbone of the IERP. The ICS consists of five major functions: Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration. The ICS is a proven emergency management structure designed to manage emergency situations where accurate operational decisions must be made quickly. It relies upon gathering, processing, and managing information rapidly. Furthermore, the District must use the ICS to manage emergency situations to be eligible to receive state funds for reimbursement of emergency response-related personnel costs in gubernatorial proclamations or presidential declarations of emergencies. CPG is currently conducting an External Event Contingency Plans and Procedures Needs Assessment (Needs Assessment) to meet the District's Year 2000 Date Change Project objectives and future emergency preparedness needs. To accomplish the Needs Assessment, CPG has: • Conducted meetings and workshops with appropriate District personnel and others including Bristol Systems to gather specific information related to the proposed plans. This information includes the current state of any related projects and existing documentation. • Reviewed existing documentation to determine its relevance and technical accuracy. • Collected any recently developed data related to the plans, for example, data on water demands and standby generation capacity. Findings The critical need for contingency plans and procedures is illustrated by the following data collected by CPG: • If power from both Southern California Edison and Central Generation is lost, Plant No. 1 can operate for approximately 48 hours using standby generation, but Plant No. 2 is much more vulnerable due to the condition of its standby generation. • The headworks pumps at both plants depend on city water for the pump seals. If city water to these pumps is interrupted for more than one hour, the pumps could be significantly damaged, which could prevent sewage from being pumped into the plants for treatment. • If a widespread electrical outage were to occur, the District does not have sufficient standby generation to keep all pump stations operating. Although this is an unlikely event, District staffing cannot support response to even a partial outage if the outage exceeds our standby generation or staff resources. CUEMPbmlafiml Wy QWo mp 4M R...o ,acre, Page 3 In light of these facts and additional findings regarding the criticality of major utilities to the District's processes, the following tasks need to be performed: / 1. Revise and expand Chapter 5 of Volume II of the Integrated Emergency Responsew Plan (IERP), currently Electrical Outage, into a Utility Outage Plan that includes: a. Electrical Outage Plan b. Natural Gas Outage Plan c. Loss of Water at the Treatment Plants (including Plant Water, City Water, and Reclaimed Water) 2. Develop supporting Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) for the Utility Outage Plan. Staffs preliminary estimate is that the following 13 EOPs will need to be developed: a. Electrical Outage at Plant No. 1 b. Electrical Outage at Plant No. 2 c. Electrical Outage at Pump Stations d. Natural Gas Outage at Plant No. 1 e. Natural Gas Outage at Plant No. 2 f. Loss of City Water at Plant No. 1 g. Loss of City Water at Plant No. 2 h. Loss of Plant Water at Plant No. 1 i. Loss of Plant Water at Plant No. 2 j. Loss of Reclaimed Water at Plant No. 1 k. Loss of Reclaimed Water at Plant No. 2 I. Loss of Plant Air at Plant No. 1 m. Loss of Plant Air at Plant No. 2 3. Develop an EOP on Loss of Telephone Service to Pump Stations. In addition to the utility-related contingency plans and procedures, District staff and CPG have identified plans and procedures to ensure that the District has a comprehensive and effective response to a variety of external events. Specific tasks are to: 4. Develop three EOPs to cover Loss of SCADA Systems at Plant No. 1, Plant No. 2, and Collections. 5. Develop two EOPs (one for each plant) regarding Inability to Ship Biosolids. 6. Develop a Work Stoppage Plan (separate from the IERP). 7. Develop an Emergency Communications Plan to be added to the appropriate section of the IERP. During the completion of this project, equipment and supplies that will enable the District to better manage potential outages will be identified and purchased, as required, using established District procedures. c%TEMP is rm�re dm aar�d. erzass Page 4 Proposed Plan/Procedure Structure +� Figure 1 shows the proposed structure of a sample plan, electrical outage.

Preliminary Template for Contingency Plans The rationale for this conceptual framework is that the IERP is intended for major emergencies that require activation of the ICS. Activation of the ICS requires a different organizational staffing pattern and personnel reporting. The IERP will provide guidance on operational strategies, while the EOPs will provide the specific operational instructions to implement these strategies. In addition, when a less serious event such as a brief electrical outage occurs, ICS activation is not warranted and these same EOPs can be used to by normal staffing to respond to the event. Recommendation for Services of Communications Performance Group, Inc. CPG has been providing technical documentation and training services to a variety of industries since 1979. The Project Director will be Dr. John J. Campbell, and the C\TEWPoMtarime WP3 nynndn M� dw R.". arzM8 Page 5 Principal Writer will be Ms. Carolyn M. Zimmerman. Together, they provide more than 50 years of experience in technical documentation and training.

Ghiralli, D. Env., Director of Technical Services Originator: Layne T. Baroldi, Regulatory Specialist SUBJECT: ADOPT POLICY IN SUPPORT OF BIOSOLIDS APPLICATION GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 99-03 Declaring Support for Biosolids Application SUMMARY Biosolids management programs throughout the nation, and especially in California, have been experiencing increased opposition to biosolids recycling. One concern raised by biosolids opponents is the risk of transmission of infectious disease as a result of biosolids application. Two classes of biosolids were created with respect to pathogen reduction in biosolids, Class A and Class B. Biosolids achieving the Class 8 designation typically undergo treatment to significantly reduce, but not eliminate pathogens. Class B biosolids can only be used in conjunction with specific restrictions after land application. These Class B site restrictions are protective of human health and the environment. By definition, Class A biosolids typically undergo further treatment that reduces pathogens to below detectable levels. Typically, no site restrictions are required after land application of Class A biosolids. The District produces approximately 185,000 tons of Class B biosolids annually. Biosolids opponents concerns related to disease transmission and pollutants found in biosolids have been addressed by nationally renowned scientists through vigorous defense of the sound scientific basis for biosolids recycling. Where scientific controversy remains, the District supports research to address those issues. Unfortunately, opposition to biosolids recycling based on public perception issues remains and this has resulted in politicizing the biosolids controversy. To assist staff in their efforts, staff request that the OMTS Committee consider the attached Resolution in Support of Biosolids Application, and recommend that the Board of Directors adopt the Resolution at their April 28, 1999 meeting. Such a declaration of support from a body representing more than 2.2 million people will be a valuable document for the District's biosolids advocacy efforts.

Env., Director of Technical Services Y� 6 Originator: Layne T. Baroldi, Regulatory Specialist ) SUBJECT: TULE RANCH/MAGAN RANCH PURCHASE GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Authorize the General Manager to Initiate Negotiations to Purchase Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch, a 5,834-Acre, Class B Biosolids Land Application Site, at a Cost not to Exceed $8,000,000. 2. Authorize the General Manager to Initiate and Conduct Due Diligence Research of Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch for use as a Biosolids Land Application Site in an Amount not to Exceed $100,000. SUMMARY District staff received an offer from Mr. Sheen Magan to purchase his Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch property covering 5,834 acres in Kern and Kings Counties for the price of$8,000,000. Mr. Magian's March 31, 1999, offer letter opens a 30-day period of exclusive negotiations with the District after which the property may be offered to other interested parties unless substantial progress toward the purchase is achieved. Staff seeks Board approval to initiate negotiations with Mr. Magan to purchase his permitted acreage for the beneficial reuse of the District's biosolids and conduct due diligence research. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY It is estimated that this due diligence will cost between $50,000 and $100,000. BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. (Line item: ) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ® This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The core element of the District's biosolids management program is reliable biosolids management in an environmentally sound manner. To achieve this goal, the District has contracted with three biosolids management contractors to land apply biosolids in Kern, Kings, western Riverside, and San Diego counties. The combination of three K.w AWIWa .I—ntl MTSIDWS971.1 Page 1 contractors' resources and permitted land base has until recently provided the District with a reliable beneficial reuse program. Unfortunately, this core element is in jeopardy due to recent regulatory developments at the state and local level. Permitted land application sites in Kern County have decreased from a high of 52,000 acres in 1995 to 23,379 acres today. Approximately 6,000 of these 23,379 acres permitted in Kern County is expected to be purchased by the City of Bakersfield, and may not be available to service any out-of-county biosolids as soon as October 1999. Kings County has placed an unofficial moratorium on permitting new sites. Biosolids management sites in western Riverside County and San Diego County are subject to imminent reduction due to increased urbanization. A general concern in all of the counties is that available permitted reuse sites are being sold for more lucrative development that may drive up the price of land acquisition. The District's biosolids management strategy continues to take advantage of the least- cost and environmentally sound reuse option, land application, while progressively researching new biosolids management options. The District currently produces in excess of 500 wet tons of Class B biosolids per day that needs to be managed in the most cost effective and environmentally sound manner. With this in mind, Camp Dresser and McKee's Strategic Plan for the District recommends that the District's biosolids management strategy be composed of four parts: 1. Continued use of private sector hauling and land application, 2. Diversification, distribution and reuse of biosolids products, 3. Development of reuse in Orange County, and 4. Acquisition and use of a District's owned land application site. A District's owned land application site would assure the District a more reliable means of biosolids management and assurance of self-determination. Staff has received an offer to purchase the Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch property. The 5,834-acre Class B permitted Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch is located in northwestern Kern County and southeastern Kings County. Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch is comprised of three independently permitted sites. These sites are owned and farmed by Sheen Magan, the principal of the sale proposal. The site's location in two counties provides an opportunity to adjust the biosolids application schedules in order to comply with different regulations from different government entities. The various soil types found on these sites allow for land application of biosolids under most weather conditions. These sites are currently receiving in excess of 2,000 wet tons per week, approximately 60% of the District's biosolids produced. At 5,834 acres, Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch has the capacity to manage 100% of the District's biosolids production. The purchase price is $8,000,000, or$1,371 per acre, including permits. Acquisition of this site cannot be done on an option basis but any purchase of Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch would be subject to the ability to transfer all Regional Water Quality Control Board, and Kern County permits to the District. Permits may not be transferable under the proposed final ordinance, which is expected to be adopted by the Kern County Board of Supervisors later this year. If the District desires to purchase this site, negotiations must achieve "substantial progress" by April 30, 1999 after which Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch will be free to present a similar proposal to other interested parties. Tule Ranch/Magan Ranch is willing to operate the District's biosolids application H.+ A,aW�MiS WSM7" Page 2 project, under District direction, on the site for a price to be agreed upon. The price is expected to be in line with what the District is currently paying. Due diligence requirements, including a detailed evaluation of environmental concerns, water rights, permit status and transferability, trucking costs, land acquisition issues, and additional permitting and development costs will be evaluated to determine the appropriateness of this site for purchase by the District. ALTERNATIVES The alternative would be to continue to rely on District's contractors for the land application of biosolids. CEQA FINDINGS ATTACHMENTS 1.

Box 138 Bass Lake, CA 93604 (559)230-1922 FAX (559)230-1924 March 31, 1999 To Whom It May Concern: The purpose of this cover letter is to propose the sale of my property in Kern and Kings Counties. The attached documents are provided for your benefit to show that the biosolids application on these lands is permitted and approved by various state and county agencies. There are several significant advantages of this property for biosolids application. One of the main advantages is the size of the property. With 5,834 acres, the application of biosolids can be moved to different portions of the property regularly. The property also has some areas of sandy soil which allows the application of biosolids when other areas of clay soil are too wet for equipment operation. The property also has relatively good access to paved, public roads from Interstate 5. The property is located in two counties which allows for adjusting the application schedule depending on different regulations from different government entities. The purchase price is $8,000,000. The proposed price represents the value of farmland in the area with a small added increment for the fact that all necessary government permits are included. If you are interested, aegq*tions for the purchase must achieve substantial progress in 30 days or I will be free to present a similar proposal to other interested parties. If requested, I will be willing to operate the biosolids application project, under your direction, at a price to be agreed upon. Included as part of this proposal are several attachments. The fast attachment is a map of the subject property. The next document is a letter from Glenn Barnhill of the Planning & Development Services Department of Kem County dated November 17, 1993, stating that the application of biosolids to the property is a permitted use. The letter states that the application of biosolids as a soil amendment is incidental to the existing farming operation. The next document is a letter from William O'Rullian of the Environmental Health Services Department of Kern County, dated November 19, 1993. This letter states that the biosolids application project on the property is excluded from the requirements of a Solid Waste Facility Permit, and the application of biosolids as a soil amendment is approved. These two documents indicate that it is not necessary for any additional permit process, and that biosolids can be applied to the property for a extended period of time. However, additional permits have been obtained as indicated by the following documents. The third attachment is the three Kem County Biosolids Application Permits dated December 23, 1998, and identified as Permits 401, 402, and 403. These permits have been filed as required by the Environmental Health Services Department of Kem County. The last attachment is the water discharge requirements, monitoring and reporting programs, a negative environment impact statement, an initial study on the biosolids application, a notice of intent to apply biosolids, and the pre-application report on the project as required by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. These last two attachments indicate that all required permit processes have been complied with, regardless of the letters from the Kern County Planning & Development Services Department, and the Environmental Health Services Department. This property is uniquely qualified to continue as a biosolids application project because of the numerous reasons previously described.

SUMMARY This project is being expedited this fiscal year because of the uncertain condition of the existing Back Bay Trunk Sewer facilities. The existing Back Bay Trunk Sewer, Contract No. 5-24, had emergency repairs completed in July 1998 to repair corrosion damage. Based on the existing pipe's condition and the potential for a sewage spill, District staff is requesting to expedite this project. This project is scheduled to be funded in the 1999-2000 fiscal budget. A new project budget of$8,100,000 is requested for the Replacement of Back Bay Trunk Sewer, Contract No. 5-46. The Professional Service Agreement (PSA) includes the preparation of a corrosion survey and report, Preliminary Design Report (PDR), geotechnical investigation, aerial and field surveying, permit acquisition, and preparation of final construction documents. The corrosion report will document the existing pipe's condition and provide recommendations for pipeline rehabilitation, replacement, or a combination. Five firms submitted proposals on February 1, 1999: AKM Consulting Engineers; DGA Consultants, Incorporated; MacDonald-Stephens, Engineers, Incorporated; Robert Bein, William Frost and Associates; and Tran Consulting Engineers. Staff recommends approval of a PSA with Tran Consulting Engineers, for an amount not to exceed $199,200. PROJECTICONTRACT COST SUMMARY Contract expenditures for this project have not yet been approved. The PSA amount and budget necessary for project implementation are presented in the attached Budget Information Table.

(Line item: ) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ® This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) Staff requests that a project budget in the amount of$8,100,000 be established. The funds for this project are from Revenue Area No. 5. A budget breakdown is included in the attached Budget Information Table. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Background The existing Back Bay Trunk Sewer, Contract No. 5-24, had emergency repairs completed in July 1998 to repair corrosion damage. At that time, the pipe was repaired within the limits of a creek crossing under a Newport Beach city project for street improvements to Back Bay Drive. The pipe repair was limited and it was determined that a full-scale pipe investigation was needed to identify the extent of corrosion and the possible need for rehabilitation or pipe replacement. Based on the existing pipe's condition, District staff is requesting to expedite this project ahead of the schedule in the Strategic Plan. Scope This PSA will provide an assessment of the existing Back Bay Trunk Sewer System, which includes a manhole and pipeline corrosion study. The study will consist of a corrosion survey, geotechnical investigation, and a final report. The report will document the existing pipe's condition and provide recommendations for pipeline rehabilitation, replacement, or a combination thereof. This project budget also includes funds for design and preparation of construction documents for the project. Elements of the PSA include: • Engineering design services • Preparing a corrosion survey, investigation and testing of existing Back Bay Sewer Facilities • Geotechnical investigation • Utility searches • Aerial and field surveying • Potholing of existing utilities • Construction support services • Permit acquisition • Design work, including preparation of final construction documents G NybmMyama 0.ft RapwbWIX.WAS<BM 11BB.En Rwi1p. vmae Page 2 Six engineering firms were invited to submit proposals to perform the required services. Five fines submitted proposals on February 1, 1999: AKM Consulting Engineers; DGA Consultants, Incorporated; MacDonald-Stephens, Engineers, Incorporated.; Robert Bein, William Frost and Associates; and Tran Consulting Engineers.

SUMMARY Holmes & Narver completed a realignment study for the Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) line, including five alternatives, to remove the line from the riverbed or protect it in place. Some of the alternatives require the pipeline to be installed as deep as 60-feet below street surface. Before staff can determine the most cost-effective alternative, a Geotechnical Study is required to provide necessary technical information. The proposed addendum will allow Holmes & Narver to complete the Geotechnical Study and update the proposed alternatives and associated construction cost estimates. Staff recommends the approval of Addendum No. 3 to the PSA with Holmes & Narver for an additional amount of$222,180. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY The original Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Holmes & Narver was for $199,077. Addendum Nos. 1 and 2 for$23,801 and $11,652, respectively, were approved to provide for additional work not included in the original scope of work, increasing the total fee for the PSA to $234,530. Addendum No. 3 for$222,180 will increase the new total fee to $456,710. The additional cost for Addendum No. 3 is within the budget for consulting services. See the attached Budget Information Table.

(Line item: h.Zone 2,Section 8, Page 8 of the FY 1998-1999 budget book) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Santa Ana River Interceptor(SARI), one of Zone No. 2's trunk sewer lines, generally parallels the Santa Ana River from the Orange/San Bernardino County (OC/SBD) line to Plant No. 1, a distance of approximately 23 miles. The SARI line also serves Riverside and San Bernardino Counties under the administration of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA). The SARI line, extending east from the Weir Canyon Road to the OC/SBD County line, runs mostly within the Santa Ana River floodplain and crosses the river bottom at several locations. The SARI line is in part located in the Santa Ana riverbed and was constructed in 1975. The pipeline was designed to perform under the river flow conditions present at the time. Currently, the Corps of Engineers is in process of raising the Prado Dam by 30 feet, which will increase the flow discharge capability from 5,000 to 30,000 cubic feet per second (CFS). The pipeline and manholes, as presently installed, may fail in an extraordinary flood event due to erosion of the river bottom. This will occur when the Corps of Engineers releases large flows from the Prado Dam reservoir (up to 30,000 CFS). Such failure would allow sand, silt and debris into the pipe, and eventually into the headworks at Plant No. 1 and/or Plant No. 2, depending on how the sewer flow is diverted at that time. When the SARI line was constructed in 1975, it was buried about 15 to 20 feet below the then existing riverbed elevation. It was assumed that the depth would be adequate to avoid any damage to the pipeline from future riverbed degradation. In addition, it was anticipated that access to manhole structures was adequate for ordinary inspection and maintenance. Streambed degradation over a period of 20 years is now posing a threat of structural damage to the pipeline and access to the manholes has become difficult due to heavy vegetative growth. In addition, further riverbed degradation is anticipated due to increased discharge flows from Prado Dam. In 1996, Holmes & Narver prepared an extensive riverbed erosion analysis to determine the extent of potential damages to the SARI line due to increased flows from Prado Dam. The report indicated that the Santa Ana River riverbed has already degraded by about six to eight feet due to flooding and entrapment of sediment in the Prado Dam Reservoir. There has been significant erosion near the manholes and the depth of cover over the pipeline has been reduced to about five to G:1r�bEaNyeM�G'M glp,YWM.VJ11TJ1 Of.OM�YBB.lrt Page 2 w six feet at several pipe crossing locations. In addition, significant erosion will occur when flows up to 30,000 CFS will be released from the dam after it is raised by the Corps of Engineers. According to the report, the SARI line may be washed out at several locations and some manholes may be completely exposed and very likely destroyed. In March of 1998, the OCSD Board of Directors approved a Professional Services Agreement with Holmes & Narver to prepare a realignment study for the SARI line. This report was recently completed. Five possible alternatives were evaluated for the relocation and protection of the SARI pipeline. The estimated construction cost for each alternative is shown below: Alternative Total Cost A $17.7 mil B1 $21.1 mil B2 $31.2 mil C $41.4 mil D $34.6 mil Each alternative was evaluated for feasibility. Given the cost range, the constructibility issues, and environmental challenges associated with each alternative, Staff has determined that a geotechnical study is necessary. The preparation of the geotechnical study was originally intended to be a part of the final design of the selected new alignment. During the preparation of the realignment study, it became apparent that, given the complexity of the project, the geotechnical condition of the site would become a driving factor in selecting the optimum alternative. The study will provide additional information regarding project feasibility and will allow for a better estimate of the construction cost. Based on the realignment study and geotechnical study, Staff will be able to make a better selection of the optimum realignment alternative. The project cost will be shared with SAWPA, based on the percentage of capacity owned by the agency in the SARI line. SAWPA presently has the right to discharge 30 million gallons per day (MGD) into the SARI line. The percentage of capacity in the SARI line varies from reach to reach. The portion of the SARI line included in this project spans over reaches 5, 6, 7 and 8. OCSD and SAWPA agreed to share the cost of the alignment study according to the Scope of Work and capacity ownership in the SARI line. Therefore, OCSD and SAWPA will pay 52 percent and 48 percent of the study cost, respectively. Addendum No. 3 addresses geotechnical issues associated with the study Scope of Work. Consequently, OCSD and SAWPA will share the cost of Addendum No. 3 at the same ratio as the study cost. G NIpIOMMpendeO ft RnpaNVOPt I <1.dd.W RN 4288B.tlec R,m„d. v Page 3 Depending on the alignment alternative selected for implementation, the cost will be shared based on the reaches involved. ALTERNATIVES A realignment alternative could be selected first, before preparing the geotechnical study. This may lead to choosing a less appropriate alignment. Changes associated with this approach may lead to significant project delays and unnecessary additional expenses. CEQA FINDINGS A focused Environmental Impact Report (EIR)will be required for the project. OCSD is currently performing a biological survey to provide additional information for the EIR. Staff is also soliciting proposals for the preparation of the EIR. ATTACHMENTS 1. Budget Table 2. PSA Status Report 3.

Pavlich Construction, Inc. as being non-responsive; and (5) Authorize award of contract for Improvements to Miller-Holder Trunk Sewer System, Reach 1, Contract No. 3-38-1, to Fleming Engineering, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $8,363,796. SUMMARY The plans and specifications for Contract No. 3-38-1 were approved at the February 24, 1999 Board meeting. The engineer's estimate for the project is $10,561,033. Eight bids were received on March 24, 1999 ranging from a high bid of $12,239,130, to a low bid of$7,397,920, submitted by T.L. Pavlich Construction, Inc. A budget increase of$936,000 is requested to accommodate higher staff construction support costs. The additional funds are proposed to come from Revenue Area No. 3, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) reserves. The Director of Engineering recommends award of the construction contract to Fleming Engineering, Inc. Fleming Engineering, Inc.'s bid appears to be a realistic bid based on the spread of the eight bids received. Four out of the eight bids received ranged from $8.36 million to $8.71 million or a difference of only 4%. In addition, based on the Engineer's estimate of$10,561,033, Fleming Engineering, Inc.'s, bid appears to be more in line with total scope and complexity of this project. In Section 51-7 of the Proposal and Bond Forms, the bidder is required to list the subcontractors for the project. "As required under Section 4100, at seq., of the Public Contract Code, the Bidder shall list the names and business address of each subcontractor who will perform Work in excess of one-half of one percent of the Contractors Total Bid Price, and shall also list the portion of the Work which will be done by such subcontractor. After opening of bids, no changes or substitutions will be allowed except as otherwise provided by law. The listing of more than one subcontractor for each item of Work to be performed with the words "and/or" will not be permitted. Failure to comply with this requirement will render the Bid as non-responsive and may cause its rejection. The District required the listing of a Traffic Control Subcontractor for this contract. The apparent low bidder, T.L. Pavlich Construction, Inc. e.mbieeeneyeneeam ReromwoaRa 1 1 eraoiw..ammxem R. a Page 1 did not list a subcontractor for the traffic control work in their bid. Therefore the bid submitted by T.L. Pavlich is considered non-responsive. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY The current $8,508,000 construction budget was approved at the February 24, 1999 Board meeting. The cost summary is presented in the attached Budget Information Table. BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. (Line Rem: ) ® This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. (1999-99 Budget Collection System Improvement,Zone 3,Line F) ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) This budget amendment, in the amount of$936,000, will be funded from the Revenue Area No. 3, 1998-99 budget reserves. The budget increase is due to additional staff construction support which includes $920,000 for additional staff time required to accommodate the length and complexity of construction adjacent to a parallel trunk sewer, the potential for a dual-heading requirement, and $170,000 for additional survey and geotechnical costs that were not anticipated in the previous budget. The construction contingency was decreased by $74,000 due to a slight decrease in the baseline construction costs, and adjustments in the application of the contingency factor to account for project risk. The PSA budget is being reduced by $80,000 leaving approximately $48,500 for future construction support services not yet negotiated. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Background The 1989 Master Plan identified the Miller-Holder and Beach Relief Trunk Sewer System as hydraulically deficient, requiring construction of a parallel or replacement sewer. In the last two years, the District has experienced two sewer overflows on the Miller-Holder Trunk Sewer during peak rainfall events. The alignment for the project begins at the intersection of Artesia Boulevard and Rostrata Avenue in the City of Buena Park and ends in Beach Boulevard just north of Hillsborough Drive in the City of La Mirada. The alignment consists of the installation of approximately three miles of 39-inch diameter pipe, including appurtenant facilities. The new sewer will be constructed in the alignment of the newer existing parallel trunk sewer and the older parallel trunk sewer will remain in place for stand by service. During the final stages of design for this project, the City of Buena Park has requested that the District complete construction on Artesia Boulevard by July 30, 1999, to support a street improvement project funded by federal project dollars. Due to the five-year moratorium on new construction, it is imperative that the District start this construction project by June 1, 1999.

NO. P1-37 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve Addendum No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell for Design of Primary Clarifiers and Related Facilities, Job. No. P1-37, providing for additional engineering services in the amount of$863,185 for a total amount not to exceed $2,856,185. SUMMARY The District's Strategic Plan requires additional primary treatment capacity to be in place at Plant No. 1 by 2003. In September 1998, a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) was issued to Brown and Caldwell for design and construction support services for Primary Clarifiers and Related Facilities, Job No. P1-37, for$1,993,000. When the original PSA was approved, the scope of work included studies for optimizing the Plant No. 1 primary treatment process. Options that were found to be cost effective in the studies were planned to be added to the design scope of work. These studies are now complete. Proposed Addendum No. 1 adds the following project elements: 1) Centralized primary sludge thickening system 2) Trickling filter feed from P1-37 primary clarifiers 3) Primary influent flow distribution system 4) Primary scum handling 5) Modifications of existing primary clarifiers The cost for Addendum No. 1 is $863,185, for a total PSA amount of$2,856,185. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY Refer to the attached PSA Status Report for a summary of costs associated with the PSA and this pending Addendum No.1. As a result of Addendum No. 1, additional facilities will be designed and constructed. At this time, it is estimated that the increase in construction cost associated with these new facilities is $8,700,000. The construction cost estimate will be further refined as the design progresses. GNWleo Mtnda Dml Rerm6 1-37 ADDENDUM 1428 I31 ADD ARdm R—. erms3 Page 1 BUDGETIMPACT ® This item has been budgeted. (Line hem: Pram 1,2-6) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) The original budget for this project was $38,450,000 based on preliminary estimates developed in the 1989 Master Plan. In the 1998-99 budget, the total budget for this project was revised to $62,127,000. The original project concept did not include: The evaluation of optimum chemically-enhanced primary treatment methods • The evaluation of the existing primary clarifiers • Sludge thickening and transport facilities • New trickling filter feed from the new primary facilities Increased costs can also be attributed to: • Added contingencies • Higher staff overhead rates due to revised calculation methods • Costs escalation since 1989 • Increased capacity from 72-mgd to 96-mgd recommended in the Strategic Plan See attached "Budget Information Table." ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Background This project includes design of an additional 96-mgd of primary treatment facilities and improvements to existing Primary Clarifiers No. 6-15. The 96-mgd is based on recommendations in the Strategic Plan, and will provide capacity to the year 2010. The need for this additional capacity is independent of decisions regarding implementation of the Groundwater Replenishment System or level of treatment. The District's goal is to design chemically-enhanced primary treatment facilities to meet our discharge permit limits of 100-Miligrams per Liter(mg/L) Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and 60-mg/L Total Suspended Solids (TSS) without further treatment. Achieving this goal will reduce our operating costs for secondary treatment and overall treatment costs. This project will study and implement the latest technology in chemically enhanced primary treatment processes. In September 1998, the District issued a PSA to Brown and Caldwell for preliminary design studies, final design, and services during construction for Primary Clarifiers 16-31. GNIpbNN aUlReybV'D l37AWEMWM141 l37AW1 ARC¢ Rex OaoAa Page 2 The preliminary design studies were intended to study the optimization of the Plant No. 1 primary treatment process through modification of the existing operation and implementing new technologies and methods in the design of the 16 new primary clarifiers. These studies included: 1. Verifying the design criteria developed for Job No. P1-33 and included in the Preliminary Design Report dated March 1996. 2. Surveying and evaluating current advanced primary treatment technologies, which have potential for implementation at the District's facilities. 3. Assessing additional electrical loads for new and existing facilities. 4. Evaluating options to optimize sludge transport from the new facilities and recommend modifications to the existing primary facilities. 5. Evaluating the value of and means of serving the trickling filter systems from the new primary facilities. 6. Performing a survey of the condition of all major pipe runs, structures, and equipment in the existing primary facilities. The consultant was also required to indicate the urgency of any problems discovered, recommend improvements, and provide estimated costs for the improvements. Recent Work Efforts Three workshops were held with District's O&M and Engineering staff and Brown and Caldwell during October, November, and December 1998 to discuss design, operation, and maintenance issues associated with the P1-37 clarifiers and existing primary clarifiers at Plant No. 1. Brown and Caldwell submitted six design memoranda summarizing the results of their preliminary design studies, evaluations, and recommendations. Based upon the Consultant's recommendation and District's review, the following additional items are recommended for the inclusion in the final design: 1. Provide Centralized Sludge Thickening This element provides a centralized sludge sump, which will be designed to collect dilute sludge from all primary clarifiers at Plant No. 1, and transport the sludge to the combination clarifierstgravity thickeners for thickening prior to sludge digestion. (Estimated construction costs, $1,250,000) 2. Trickling Filter Feed - Include a new line that will be designed to supply up to 48-mgd of primary effluent from the new primary clarifiers. (Estimated construction costs, $700,000) c NmbMNgenN 0.fl Iiepnb7O 1Y37�NMM I.aZtlB 7MU1.W% n,„W d a„ Page 3 3. Influent Distribution System - Modifications to the existing primary influent splitter box would be incorporated with widened influent channels. This design will allow for equal distribution of flow to each clarifier in an effort to improve BODlfSS removal in all clarifiers. (Estimated constructions costs, $2,750,000) 4. Primary Scum Handling -This work will include design of new scum collection and removal facilities for the existing cladfiers. An automated system will be designed for these clarifiers and modifications to existing collection pits will be made to decant and dilute the scum received. (Estimated construction costs, $1,500,000) 5. Modifications of Existing Facilities- Modifications to existing facilities will include: primary influent piping; east side distribution box; miscellaneous improvements to existing primary clarifiers; primary effluent distribution box; primary polymer facility; and the west scrubber complex. (Estimated construction costs, $2,500,000) ALTERNATIVES Not proceeding with Addendum No. 1, Job No. P1-37 (NO ACTION). The no action alternative could eliminate the implementation of cost effective process improvements. This may result in continued higher costs and continued process inefficiencies.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION (1) Approve Addendum No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for design of Automation of Solids Storage Facility at Plant No. 1, Job No. P1-60, and Solids Storage Facility at Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-60, providing for additional engineering services for Job No. P2-60 and a credit for Job No. P1-60, resulting in a net increase of$101,964, for a total amount not to exceed $915,526; and (2)Accept work to date and discontinue further work with Carollo Engineers for Automation of Solids Storage Facility at Plant No. 1, Job No. P11-60. SUMMARY In February 1998, the PDC Committee and the Board of Directors approved a single Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for two projects: (1) Automation of Solids Storage Facility at Plant No. 1, Job No. P1-60, and (2) Solids Storage Facility at Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-60. Job No. P1-60 The solids storage facility at Plant No. 1 was designed for attended operation. Job No. P1-60 was to automate this existing facility. During the course of documenting the existing conditions, it became apparent that the solids storage facility was operationally linked to the dewatering facility. Carollo's original fee estimate for the automation design of the solids storage facility was $53,581. Carollo has requested an additional $240,000 to expand the design for the additional scope of work. In lieu of revising Carollo's contract to incorporate the additional work, Staff recommends accepting Carollo's work to date on Job No. P1-60, but discontinuing the rest of Carollo's work associated with Job No. P1-60. The work completed to date will be incorporated into the Plant Automation and Reinvention project, Job No. J-42. Carollo has spent $32,641 of the $53,581 design fee, resulting in a credit of$20,940.

(CIP Reclamation Plant No. 1, Item 4b for Job No. P1-60, and CIP Treatment Plant No. 2, Item 4f for Job No. P2-60) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In February 1998, the PDC Committee and the Board of Directors approved a single Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for two projects: Automation of Solids Storage Facility at Plant No. 1, Job No. P1-60, and Solids Storage Facility at Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-60. Job No. PI-60 The solids storage facility at Plant No. 1 was constructed in 1991 and is in good working condition; however, it was designed for attended operation. Job No. P1-60 was to automate this existing facility. During the course of documenting the existing conditions, it became apparent that the solids storage facility was operationally linked to the dewatering facility. In order to automate the solids storage facility, Carollo identified the need to automate the dewatering sludge transfer pumps and conveyor belts. Carollo's original fee estimate for the automation design of the solids storage facility was $53,581. Carollo has requested an additional $240,000 to expand the design for the additional scope of work. Due to the unexpectedly large increase in scope, Staff recommends accepting Carollo's work to date on Job No. P1-60, discontinuing the rest of Carollo's work associated with Job No. P1-60, and incorporating the remaining work into the Automation and Plant NM dN gV*MI CONTRCTWIHIUpMWPlyl Fp 2-MWC.WI Nenud. MIMI Page 2 Reinvention project, Job No. J-42. Job No. J42 provides for an examination of the process controls and process redesign for the dewatering facility. The revision of the controls of the dewatering facility would most efficiently be done under Job No. J42. ' The Carollo documentation will serve as source documentation for Job No. J42. Job No. P2-60 The solids storage facility at Plant No. 2 is 16 years old and the mechanical equipment is at the end of its useful life. Job No. P2-60 is a new, automated facility at Plant No. 2. Staff has incorporated the requirements of the City of Huntington Beach, the Strategic Plan group, and new OCSD electrical standards during the design of Job No. P2-60. Additions to the scope of work have increased the construction cost estimate by$5.2 million and are broken down as follows: 1) Addition of Cake Transfer Pumps ($3.0 M) • Compliance with Strategic Plan There are two ways to convey solids: pumps and conveyor belts. While the belts have a smaller capital cost, they are not flexible in terms of moving solids. Pumps, however, are highly flexible. Once the pumps are in place, pipes leading from the pumps can be easily directed to any facility. Since the Strategic Plan requires four storage bins to be added to Plant No. 2 in the future, Staff wanted to minimize total capital expenditure on solids conveyance. It was decided to replace conveyor belts with pumps in Job No. P2-60. When these future facilities are constructed, pipes can be added to the existing pumps and directed to the new facilities. • Additional Storage The Strategic Plan requires the rehabilitation of the two existing solids storage bins. These bins currently have belt conveyors to transport the solids. By adding pumps to Job No. P2-60, the belt conveyors on the existing bins can be removed during the rehabilitation. This allows the walls of those bins to be raised and to gain an additional 600 cubic yards of storage. This will delay the need to have additional bins built until 2010. • Odor Control The use of pumps rather than conveyor belts reduces foul air odors. The use of conveyor belts exposes the solids to the environment, while the use of pumps keeps the solids confined inside pipes. • Elimination of Confined Space The equipment used for belt conveyors is considered a confined space. The use of pumps eliminates confined spaces. • Standardization of Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 The Plant No. 1 facility designed in 1989 opted for pumps instead of conveyor belts. This was due to an analysis which found pumps to have a lower life cycle cast. The analysis showed a total present worth cost of$7.8 million for conveyor belts versus $7.1 million for pumps. The use of pumps at Plant No. 2 will M:M'p.MebngJOBS B f NTR T"1bON WPApYI Fq 2-NAM,01 FrnYE: ,anger Page 3 standardize the solids conveyance equipment, allowing flexible staff rotations, uniform staff training, and reduced parts inventory. 2) Electrical Standard Improvement— Dual 12 kV Feed ($1.1 M) ' A new OCSD standard requires dual electrical feeds to each major plant area. Each dual feed will then supply power to several projects in that area. For example, in the solids storage area, the future projects in that area may be fed by the same two feeders being installed by this project. Under the previous philosophy, each individual project would have been supplied by a single feed with less reliability and minimal flexibility. This new OCSD standard improves the overall electrical system reliability and provides sufficient flexibility for maintenance. 3) Flat Bottom Storage Bins ($500 K) Standard storage bin design consists of a large cylindrical container with a cone on the bottom. The cone acts as a funnel bringing the solids, by gravity, to a small opening at the bottom from which trucks can be loaded. The large cylindrical container with a cone bottom is very effective at removing solids from a bin, however, it requires a tall structure. The cone bottom adds 14 feet to the height of the bins. Since Plant No. 2 is adjacent to the ocean, the City of Huntington Beach is very concerned about the height of any facility at Plant No. 2. Staff and Carollo researched options to the cone bottom to try to limit the height of the facility. Carollo recommended the flat bottom storage bin used widely in Europe and Canada. A flat bottom storage bin has a flat bottom with a hole (instead of a cone) and uses an arm that slides across the bottom of the floor to push solids into the hole. There has been a patent on this design and it was not available for use in the United States until recently. Staff and Carollo went to several wastewater treatment plants where this technology was being used and found favorable results. Not only will the reduced height be more acceptable to the neighbors, but the reduced height will ease the process of obtaining construction permits from the City of Huntington Beach and allow for a more economical seismic design. 4) Adverse Geotechnical Conditions ($400 K) The geotechnical analysis for the project site identified a number of adverse subsurface and geologic conditions that will increase the cost of the construction. Some of these conditions include the compressibility of the subsurface soils, the material type and density of the subsurface soils, and the close proximity to active fault traces resulting in strong ground shaking. The geotechnical consultant recommends stone columns with a mat foundation for the facility. 5) Grading and Paving of Surrounding Area ($200 K) Grading and paving of the surrounding area needs to be added to the existing scope of work. Last year heavy rains resulted in runoff exiting the plant at the Bushard Gate near the new facility. OCSD is mandated by the Regional Water � MM Page 4 t Quality Control Board to contain all runoff in the plant. Since this project included grading and paving for the new facilities near the problem area, the surrounding area will be added to the scope of work to address the problem. Due to the additional design requirements, the construction cost estimate has increased. In November 1998, Staff informed the PDC Committee of a potential increase in the construction cost. No action was requested at that time. Staff was waiting for the final design to be completed so that a final cost estimate could be obtained. The design in now 70 percent complete, and the construction cost estimate is $12.5 million. This is the expected final construction cost estimate, however, Staff will present the final construction cost estimate to the PDC Committee at the 100% design completion. Staff recommends approval of Addendum No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers providing for the design of flat bottom storage bins and electrical upgrades, and a credit for Job No. P11-60, resulting in a net increase of$101,964, for a total amount not to exceed $915,526. Carollo has absorbed the other miscellaneous design tasks outlined above into their original fee. ALTERNATIVES Increase the addendum to the Professional Services Agreement with Carollo for Job No. P1-60 and 132-60 by$240,000 for documentation and modifications to the dewatering facility.

SUMMARY As an outcome of the Strategic Plan, a new Capital Improvement Program (CIP) has been developed. The new CIP establishes a program of capital improvements in the collection system and treatment plants to meet the needs of the District through the year 2020, totaling $1.5 billion. The CIP includes treatment plant capacity and improvement projects, collection system capacity and relief projects, and rehabilitation projects in both the treatment plants and collection system. The CIP also includes participation in Phase 1 of the Groundwater Replenishment System with the Orange County Water District, and cooperative programs with our member cities and sanitary agencies including projects to address inflow and infiltration reduction and water conservation. Based on the planning assumptions used in the Strategic Plan and the projected population and flow projections developed, a preliminary project implementation schedule has been developed to meet those future needs of the District's service area. The schedule calls for a substantial increase in the number of projects and associated capital expenditures over the next four to six years. The Engineering Department staffing levels have remained relatively stable over the past few years, varying between 61 and 74 full-time equivalents (FTEs). The CIP annual expenditures for collections system and treatment plant projects in that same time frame have varied between $30 and $50 million. In comparison, the annual expenditures associated with the new CIP for collections system and treatment plant projects are expected to be between $75 and $100 million over the next four to six years. Beyond six years, the projected levels of capital expenditures will reduce to current levels. Due to this projected increase in the number of projects and expenditures over the next four to six years, the current staffing level in the Engineering Department will not be sufficient to allow the planning, design, and implementation of the new CIP. To be able to address the short-term staffing needs in the Engineering Department, a plan has been drafted G:x,p MW.nd GMAwftWIX.+ Mdc R.n..e: umee Page 1 that will use temporary technical staffing. Contract project managers, engineers, and construction inspectors will be used to supplement full-time staff on an as- needed basis. The plan will be flexible, in that temporary staff with the necessary skills can be brought on at the appropriate time, and can be released when the assignment is over. It also provides management the ability to easily release personnel that are not performing to expectations at any time. This will assure that the program will remain cost-efficient and effective in getting the work accomplished. The proposed CIP project budgets include the costs for engineering, administration, construction, and contingencies. All of the proposed project budgets include estimates for engineering consultants, as well as the staff costs to oversee the project design and construction, which would include the costs for the temporary staff. Several temporary staffing firms have been contacted to discuss the availability of temporary technical staff and the expected costs. It appears that sufficient resources with the required skills are available in the market place to meet our needs. The temporary staffing firms attract people by offering a competitive salary and a full benefit package, including dental and medical health coverage, insurance, holiday pay, sick and vacation pay, as well as 401 K retirement saving plans. The cost to the District to employ temporary staff approaches the cost of hiring full-time employees. The Human Resources Department has begun preliminary discussions with these firms to establish contract terms, salary markups, and profit margins. Staff is recommending that a program be established that would allow temporary staffing to meet the needs of the Engineering Department in implementing the new CIP. For the purpose of monitoring the program, Staff would bring to the PDC Committee on a quarterly basis, and for the duration of the program, a request for expected staffing needs for the upcoming quarter, including required technical disciplines, project assignments and budgets, as well as a history of the past quarters.

(3) PUBLIC COMMENTS There were none. (4) ACTION ITEM a. FAHR99-09A: Develop a new comprehensive connection fee program and ordinance which contains the following elements: 1. Base fees will be determined by type of development and are calculated per 1,000 square feet for non-residential development and per unit for residential development; 2. Three categories of Commercial connection fees will be developed: low demand, average demand and high demand. 3. Significant Industrial Users (Class I Permittees)will be charged demand- based connection fees as a part of their on-going annual use charges, rather than only as a one-time up front charge. 4. Residential fees will be tiered based upon number of bedrooms and SFR or MFR development. 5. Connection fees will continue to be collected by local sewering agencies at the time the building permit is issued. 6. Credit for demolished structures will be granted only when the developer can prove that prior connection fees were paid, and credit will be provided only for the amount actually paid. 7. The new connection fee program should be reported to the RAC prior to final consideration by the Board. Discussion and Workshop District staff, and Steve McDonald of Carollo Engineers, conducted a FAHR Committee Workshop regarding connection fees which focused on the above elements. All Board Members were invited to attend. The purpose of the workshop was to provide the Directors with comprehensive information for future decision-making regarding the connection fee program. Minutes of Special Meeting of the FAHR Committee Page 3 April 10, 1999 Discussions included continuing to use the "capital investment equalization" method of fee calculation, assigning wet-weather facilities costs to appropriate users, developing tiered fees for residential connections, developing categories of fees for non-residential users, allowing significant industrial/commercial users to pay annually, considering a fee for regional governmental facilities, requiring a periodic review of the process, allowing the Board to grant exceptions and developing an implementation or phase-in plan. A copy of the revised presentation is attached. Motion: Moved, seconded and duly carried to refer this item back to the FAHR Committee for further review at their May meeting, and recommendation to the Board of Directors.

2(lztf) RAM n / y Orange County Sanitation District FROM: Gary Streed, Director of Finance Originator: Steve Kozak, Financial Manager SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF THE DISTRICT'S WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR THE PERIOD MAY 1, 1999 TO MAY 1, 2002 (FAHR99-23) GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Renew the District's Excess Worker's Compensation Insurance Program for the three- year period May 1, 1999 to May 1, 2002, with a rate guarantee of$0.612 per$100 of annual payroll for each fiscal year. SUMMARY The CAMEX program was established in 1994 to provide local government agencies greater access to lower cost Excess Worker's Compensation insurance protection. The District obtained Excess Worker's Compensation insurance coverage for the first time through CAMEX in May 1994. At present, the District is in the third year of a three-year commitment to the CAMEX program approved by the Board in May 1996. The premium cost for FY 1998-99 was $21,719, which was based on a rate of$0.72 per$100 of payroll. It should be noted that this rate reflected a 5% reduction from the District's rate for FY 1997-98 ($0.76 per $100 payroll). Approval of this agenda item would continue the District's Excess Worker's Compensation insurance coverage through the CAMEX program for an additional three- year period, with a rate guarantee for each annual premium renewal for the next three years of$0.612 per$100 of payroll. This represents a 15% reduction in the District's current rate. Based on estimated and annual payroll figures, the premium costs for FY 1999-2000 would not exceed $20,100.

(Line item: Worker's Comp SFI, line 12) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CAMEX Worker's Compensation Coverage The District has maintained a self-insurance fund for primary worker's compensation coverage since 1979, The reserve balance in the Worker's Compensation Self- Insurance Fund was $659,609 at the start of FY 1998-99. Above the $250,000 self-insurance deductible (per occurrence), excess worker's compensation insurance coverage augments the District's self-insurance fund by providing an additional layer of protection up to the statutory limit set by the State of California, at cost effective premium costs. The CAMEX program also provides the District with a $5 million coverage limit for Employer's Liability insurance (per occurrence). In 1998, this portion of the CAMEX program coverage was enhanced from a previous $1 million limit.' The CAMEX program is being underwritten by Reliance National Insurance Company. With more than $1,25 billion in reserves, Reliance is rated "A-°/Pooled/FSC XIII (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company (the insurance industry rating agency), for its overall ability to meet its obligations to policyholders. Renewal for FY 1999-2000 through 2001-2002 Two important advantages of a multi-year renewal of the District's participation in the CAMEX Excess Worker's Compensation insurance program include stable coverage up to statutory limits, and a rate guarantee. Thus, the District's premium costs are controlled while obtaining maximum coverage levels for the next three fiscal years. The attached letter from Robert F. Driver Associates, the District's Broker of Record, summarizes coverage and cost information for the proposed Excess Worker's Compensation insurance renewal. Staff recommends the renewal of the District's Excess Worker's Compensation Insurance Program for the three-year period May 1, 1999 to May 1, 2002. The coverage is provided through the California Municipal Excess Worker's Compensation Program (CAMEX). t Employer's Liability insurance provides coverage for the District against common law bodily injury liability not covered by worker's compensation laws. 1MpmW Un,,M nunftmnN AHW.hK pAFAHRB433 W Page 2 ft~t Brdl99 ALTERNATIVES N/A CEQA FINDINGS N/A ATTACHMENTS 1.

We have now successfully concluded those negotiations with Reliance National Insurance Company (A. M. Best Rating A-, Excellent, Pooled, Financial Size Category 13) on a three-year rate guarantee basis of$.0612 generating an annual premium of$20,100, an approximate fifteen percent reduction from expiring rates. Coverage will continue to be offered at a statutory limit of liability subject to a $250.000 self insured retention. Our summary of insurance detailing specific terms and conditions will follow under separate cover. We are confident that this joint purchase program remains an effective vehicle in competitively accessing the marketplace and maintaining both coverage and rate stability on a long-term basis.

Streed, Director of Finance SUBJECT: SAWPA OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES (FAHR99-24) GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION (1) Require SAWPA (Santa Ana Regional Watershed Project Authority)to pay the District the corrected 0&M charges for 1996-97, 1997-98 and 1998-99 in accordance with the 1996 Agreement; and (2) Authorize staff to negotiate an agreement with SAWPA to structure a payment plan for the charges it owes the District which may include: a) crediting against the amount owed, amounts already paid by SAWPA to the District for a currently unneeded 1/1& of 1 mgd of additional treatment and disposal capacity, thus reducing SAWPA's capacity to 9 mgd; b) collecting the amount owed over time; and c) relating the payment of the amount owed to parallel discussions with SAWPA regarding SAWPA's proposal to prepay 3 mgd of capacity to accommodate anticipated future brine discharges from new groundwater treatment projects. SUMMARY Since 1972, the District has provided treatment and disposal services for some "non-reclaimable" wastewater from the Santa Ana Watershed Protection Agency (SAWPA). After 24 years, the Agreement was modified in 1996. Among the significant changes was the ability to purchase capacity in 1 mgd increments of average flow (vs. 5 mgd of peak flow capacity per the original agreement), and payment for O&M based upon sewage quantity and strength (vs. quantity only per the original agreement). Actual wastewater strength concentrations were agreed upon as the basis for our invoices to SAWPA for 0&M charges, while examoles were used in our 1996 Agreement (attached). When District staff prepared invoices for SAWPA's O&M charges for 1996-97, 1997-98 and 1998-99, we estimated the wastewater strength to be equal to the examples shown in the 1996 agreement. The Agreement provides for estimated quarterly invoices and an adjustment to actual quantities and strength based upon samples and flowmeter readings, after the dose of the fiscal year. Because the average wastewater from SAWPA contained more of both BOD and SS for each billing year, the total actual charges to treat the wastewater increased. Additional charges are estimated for 1998-99, because of a rate increase subsequent to the start of ad).cna.�Ago R.000%'M e—,rp..m A.wsb.ean..1,.).a: P.NrN: YM98 Page 1 this year. If SAWPA's flow and strength remain constant for the rest of this year, a total estimated additional charge to SAWPA of$1,027,000 for the three years will be due. SAWPA has officially requested that "current OCSD 0&M rates remain in effect until July 1, 1999, and that any adjustments related to the net underbilling be waived." SAWPA maintains that their existing user rates were adopted based upon the information that we provided them, that they have no funds budgeted for this payment, and that their member agencies cannot pass these late corrections on to their customers. This request covers a period of approximately 36 months ending in June 1999, including the current fiscal year and two prior years.

SAWPA, District No. 2, and the Clean Water Grant Program built a large regional interceptor along the Santa Ana River for"non-reclaimable" wastewater from SAWPA's service area. The District has authorized SAWPA to purchase up to 30 mgd of capacity in our treatment and disposal facilities, to match their capacity in the interceptor (SARI). In 1996, a new agreement between SAWPA and the District was completed. Among the significant changes was the ability to purchase capacity in 1 mgd increments of average flow (vs. 5 mgd of peak flow capacity according to the original agreement), and payment for 0&M based upon sewage quantity and strength. Prior to the new agreement, SAWPA had paid for 0&M based upon a residential strength discharge with no fee adjustment for higher strengths. We also agreed to the provision that SAWPA could pay for capacity over time—taking up to 10 years to pay for a purchased increment of flow. During the agreement negotiation process, SAWPA provided us wastewater strength data of 320 mg/I of BOD and 270 mg/I of SS for 1995-96. These concentrations were used as illustrative examples in the agreement for calculating capacity charges. Subsequently, actual concentrations of 338 mg/I of BOD and 234 mg/1 of SS were used for one capacity purchase while 403 mg/I of BOD and 277 mg/I of SS were used for another capacity increment in accordance with the 1996 agreement. Actual BOD and SS concentrations were also envisioned as the bases for our invoices to SAWPA for C&M charges. When District staff prepared invoices for SAWPA's 0&M charges for 1996-97 and 1997-98, we used the example concentrations in the agreement for estimates, but we transposed the 1991-92 billing rate for BOD with the rate for SS. Section C4 of the Agreement provides for estimated quarterly billings and adjustments to actual after the close of the fiscal year. OCSD • P.O. Box 8127 * Fountain Valley,CA 9272"127 . (714) 962-2411 SAWPA Page 2 of 3 April 15, 1999 Correcting the billing rates for BOD and SS would result in a $64,853 refund to SAWPA. However, because the average wastewater from SAWPA contained more of both BOD and SS for those previous billing years, the total actual cost to treat the wastewater increased. In fact, the total costs increased by 17%, or$656,363. The net effect of the two corrections results in an additional charge to SAWPA of$591,510. On January 12, 1999, we notified SAWPA of our billing error regarding rates for 1996-97 and 1997-98, and also notified them that their increased concentrations had resulted in an additional $591,510 charge through June 30, 1998. SAWPA was advised that we would soon be issuing invoices to adjust the estimates to actual in accordance with the Agreement. We also had conversations with their Chief Financial Officer and their General Manager. On February 16. 1999, SAWPA officially requested that"current OCSD 0&M rates remain in effect until July 1. 1999, and that any adjustments related to the net underbilling be waived." By'current," SAWPA means the rates originally billed. SAWPA maintains that their existing user rates were adopted based upon the information that we provided them, that they have no funds budgeted for this payment, and that their member agencies cannot pass these late corrections on to their customers. Their request covers a period of approximately 36 months ending in June 1999. SAWPA's request extends into the current fiscal year. Subsequent to the initial 1998-99 billing, the Board adopted new Class I user rates. The impact of these rates upon SAWPA, and all Class I users, was to decrease the flow charges and to increase the BOD and SS charges. Assuming the flow and concentrations for the previous 9 months remain constant for the year, the adjustment for 1998-99 will be an additional $435,500. The Agreement provides for this adjustment to actual flow and strength after the close of the close of the fiscal year. It is interesting to note that correcting only the rates would have resulted in a refund to SAWPA; it is the incorrect wastewater strength that has resulted in additional charges. Had SAWPA been billed based on the actual strength of their discharge, we would be processing a refund based upon the rates. The 1996 agreement is clear that O&M charges will be adjusted after the close of the year based upon actual wastewater strength. Incidentally, the correct sewage strength information is supposed to be supplied to us by SAWPA, in addition to that determined from our own sampling program, and so SAWPA did know, or could have known, that our estimated invoices were low and in their favor as we were using out of date concentrations. In fact, the Finance Director at SAWPA has said that their customers have been billed and have paid based upon actual concentrations. a SAWPA Page 3 of 3 ' April 15, 1999 Nonetheless, staff is mindful of the long-term water quality management relationship between the agencies: The recently opened sewage treatment/water reclamation plant in western Riverside has improved water quality in the Santa Ana River, reduced flow to our plants; and decimated SAWPA's financial reserves. SAWPA is also beginning to assume an important and appropriate leadership role in the management of dairy waste and Santa Ana River water quality. These relationships benefit all of Orange County. For all of these reasons, staff recommends that the additional SAWPA O&M charges for 1996-97 and 1997-98, caused by incorrect rates and outdated concentrations for BOO and SS, be collected, but collected over time and under terms negotiated between the two staffs of the agency, or by some other creative method. One possible partial solution, discussed with SAWPA management, involves another provision of the 1996 agreement. In accordance with the 1996 agreement, SAWPA made one of ten payments for an additional 1 mgd increment of capacity in 1997. Subsequent to the opening of the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority Plant, and the resultant reduction in flow, SAWPA discontinued that purchase. (SAWPA's flow has declined from an average of 9.30 mgd in 1996-97 to 4.87 mgd this year.) The agreement provides that 75% of the capital portion paid can be applied to a future increment of capacity, if SAWPA elects to discontinue payments on a particular increment of purchased capacity. SAWPA has paid $758,373.00 as the first of 10 installments for the capacity increment from 9 mgd to 10 mgd. In essence, they have purchased 1/10th of 1 mgd of additional capacity—a capacity they simply don't need now and will not utilize again for several years. The payment was made on a level payment plan, and included $407,609 of interest and $350,744 of principal. SAWPA management has indicated they would be willing to relinquish their 75% credit toward a future purchase of capacity as payment in full for the undercharge. They owe us $591,510 through June 30, 1998, and an additional estimated $435,500 for 1998-99. Another solution, which could be an additional solution or an alternative solution, involves future capacity purchases. Over the next two to three years, SAWPA will be constructing three new groundwater desalting plants with a total expected discharge of 3 mgd to the Santa Ana River Interceptor. The BOD and SS concentrations are expected to be 20 mg/I and 75 mg/I, respectively. The 1996 Agreement specifies that capacity increments will be based upon the "actual BOD and SS concentrations discharged from SAWPA's SARI Service Area to District's facilities, to appropriately reflect the District's treatment costs for these discharges." As noted earlier, the estimated concentrations for 1998-99 are 431 mg/I for BOD, and 404 mg/I for SS. SAWPA Page 4 of 3 April 15, 1999 SAWPA has proposed, and staff would recommend, that the 3 mgd capacity for the desalters should be based upon the strength of the discharge from the specific projects. They have also proposed that they would prepay for that capacity. The resulting reduction in capacity charges will 'free up` funds that would allow SAWPA to pay the O&M charges specified in the 1996 Agreement. Staff recommends that the adjustment of estimated invoiced amounts to actual for 1996-97 and 1997-98, including the corrected rates for BOD and SS be offset by the unneeded .1 mgd capacity purchase and that SAWPA's capacity rights be reduced correspondingly to 9 mgd. Further, staff recommends that the estimated invoices for the final 6 months of 1998-99 be consistent with those for the first six months , and that the 1998-99 adjustment to actual quantities be made in 1999-2000. Finally, staff recommends that reduced capacity charges for groundwater treatment projects, based upon speck brine strength, be considered.

Several months ago, SAWPA requested confirmation of OCSD TSS and BOD billing rates. Initially,those rates were confirmed as correct. However recently, it has been determined that O&M billing rates and also concentration charges have been incorrectly billed from inception of the Agreement, July 1, 1996. Normally, as called for in the Agreement,OCSD bills SAWPA quarterly, using prior quarter actuals for billing purposes. Annual adjustments are billed in the first quarter of the fallowing fiscal year. These latest adjustments, surfacing so late and falling outside normal billing procedures were not anticipated nor budgeted. As a practical matter, SAWPA, its member agencies and their customers have relied on OCSD rate information for budget and payment purposes. Neither SAWPA nor any of the affected agencies have funds in this years' budget to cover the adjustment. As an example, Western Municipal Water District(WMWD) has indicated that it would not be feasible to pass through any amount of this adjustment. Rates and budgets have been set for fiscal year 1998/99. Rate Resolutions are in place.

Miles, Director of Information Technology SUBJECT: STAFF PAY PACKAGE TO SUPPORT YEAR 2000 CONTINGENCY EXECUTION CONSISTING OF: 1) $250 for all on-SITE standby staff, 2) $250 for all on-CALL (1 hour response) standby staff, 3) $250 for all normally scheduled support staff, 4) Time and a half overtime for all hours worked between 6:00 P.M. December 31, 1999 and 6:00 A.M. January 3, 2000. 5) District supplied food and beverages for the required weekend duration. GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve a compensation package for District staff to support Year 2000 contingency planning execution during New Year Eve weekend 2000 comprised of: (a) $250 for all onsite standby staff; (b) $250 for all on-call standby staff; (c) $250 for all normally scheduled support staff; (d) Time and a half overtime for all hours worked between 6:00 p.m. December 31, 1999 and 6:00 a.m. January 3, 2000; and (a) District supplied food and beverage for the required weekend duration, for an estimated cost of$1,400. SUMMARY Additional staff support will be required to minimize the risks posed by the Year 2000 (Y2K) date roll over. Many Y2K related dates have the possibility to cause computer difficulties in the day-to-day operation of the District, however the roll over to January 1, 2000 requires the most diligence to mitigate both internal systems and external service disruptions. Having additional staff on-site and on-call will cost effectively minimize the risk to public health and the environment. In order to support adequate staffing during the New Year's Eve weekend beginning December 31, 1999 and ending January 3, 2000, staff recommends the following premiums be offered to selected support staff: 1) $250 for all on-SITE standby staff, 2) $250 for all on-CALL (f hour response) standby staff, 3) $250 for all normally scheduled support staff, 4) Time and a half overtime for all hours worked between 6:00 P.M. December 31, 1999 and 6:00 A.M. January 3, 2000, 5) District supplied food and beverages for the required weekend duration. The cash premium will help ensure a qualified pool of resources are available for the holiday weekend. The paid overtime is fair compensation and consistent with District policy for extraordinary services. The provided on-site food and beverages will allow staff to concentrate on the important work at hand. The call-in personnel serve two HM -ftUeNe Mtge Rep klMY WAp R�lWW.YM� pc� R~ WW Page 1 important functions. First, if things do go badly internally or externally for the District, added staff can be quickly brought in. Second, should prolonged problems occur, such as sustained power outages, staff will be available to relieve on-site standby personnel in the morning, if required. All employees receiving the cash premium will agree to abide by the District's existing Stand-by Pay policy and forgo any out of town travel plans over this "once-in-a-lifetime" holiday weekend. Proper staffing is an absolute requirement to minimize the risk to public health and the environment, and will support the safe operation of the District's assets during the New Year weekend. Staff recommend that these premiums be offered to ensure enough qualified personnel are available to mitigate any circumstances that might arise.

Streed, Director of Finance Originator: Steve Kozak, Financial Manager SUBJECT: REPORT AND ACTIONS ON CREDIT ENHANCEMENT FACILITIES FOR THE DISTRICT'S SERIES "A" AND "C" VARIABLE RATE CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION LONG-TERM BORROWINGS (FAHR99-25) GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve FGIC proposal for 20 basis points annual commitment fee for the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement for the Series "C" COPs, effective May 1, 1999 through September 1, 2002. 2. Authorize the Director of Finance to execute an Amendment to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement for the revised annual commitment fee of 20 basis points for the Series "C" COPs, for the period May 1, 1999 to September 1, 2002. SUMMARY This agenda item reports on the results of initial efforts to develop and implement improvements to the existing credit enhancement facilities for District's variable rate Certificates of Participation (COPS) financing program. Approval of this item will generate approximately $500,000 in cost savings over the remaining term of the Agreement, approximately 3.3 years, from reduced commitment fees for the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement for the Series "C" COPs. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY N/A BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. (Line item: ) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ® Not applicable (information item) \Yvb,W M1tY.y,ChNn121OrnroF/JIR1g1,(N'Ap\NIR�]5.Wx RsnW. amee Page 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Credit Enhancement Facilities In some municipal debt issues, such as the District's variable rate COPs. Letters of Credit (LOCs) and Standby Bond Purchase Agreements (Standby Agreements), are used in the financing structure as additional sources of security and/or liquidity. These LOCs and Standby Agreements are called credit enhancement facilities. In some cases, the financing structure can also include municipal bond insurance for additional security. Generally, variable rate bonds, such as the District's variable rate COPS, require credit enhancement facilities to increase and maintain the confidence of investors in the security of the bond issue. This makes an issue easier to sell and reduces the interest cost of the bonds. The banks which supply the LOCs or Standby Agreements, commit to make principal and interest payments on a bond issue in the event that the public agency issuer is unable to do so. Also, these facilities are used to provide liquidity for the retirement of bonds that are called for redemption. Fees are paid by the public agency which issues the bonds to the bank which provides the credit enhancement facility to maintain the LOCs and Standby Agreements. Such fees become part of the local agency's cost of borrowing over the life of the bond issue. Current District Credit Enhancements The table below provides a summary description of the current credit enhancement facilities for the District's variable rate COPS. The Series 'A," "C," and 1993 Refunding COPS are daily COPS, while the 1992 Refunding is a weekly COP. The interest rates on the COPS vary, and are reset in either a "daily" or a "weekly" mode by the Remarketing Agent.

Y Review Process Staff, in conjunction with remarketing agents, financial advisor, and bond counsel, developed and implemented a process to solicit proposals from banking institutions for substitution of the LOC for the Series "A" COPS, and the Standby Agreement for the Series "C" COPs. This first phase initiative was undertaken as discussed below. An analysis of the credit enhancement facilities for the 1992 and 1993 Refunding COPs was deferred due to the added complexities of the long-term SWAP, or Interest Exchange Agreements, associated with these financings. These issues will be reviewed in a second phase effort. National Westminster Bank(NatWest), the current provider of the LOC for the Series "A" COPS, informed the District that, under their strategic reorganization plan, the bank would be shedding their credit enhancement banking services, and would not renew the existing LOC with the District when it expires in December 2000. Comparisons of recent market pricing for Standby Agreement liquidity facilities showed that the 37 basis points fee for the Series"C" COPs could be reduced by as much as 15 to 20 basis points for the three-year period remaining on the existing Standby Agreement. A Request for Qualifications and Fee Quote was prepared and sent to ten banks which were pre-qualified from a master list of twenty-four banks. The banks were invited to propose on one or both of the COPS. Four banks submitted proposals to provide a substitute Standby Agreement for the Series "C" COPs, and one of the four also proposed on the substitute LOC for the Series "A" COPs. The provider of the existing Series "C" Standby Agreement, Financial Guaranty Insurance Corporation (FGIC), offered a substantial reduction in their current commitment fee (from 37 to 20 basis points), effective May 1, 1999, for the remaining term of the Agreement. The Agreement terminates on September 1, 2002. Findings. Series "A" LOC During the course of the RFQ process, we learned that banks who are active in providing credit enhancement facilities expressed confidence in proposing on the substitute standby bond purchase agreement for the Series "C" COPs, but desired more information about the District as a credit risk with respect to the LOC, the structure of the Series "A" COPS, and more time to analyze the information. The single bank proposal received for a substitute Series "A" LOC offered no improvements from the current provider. Thus, staff recommends that a comprehensive approach/marketing package be prepared for the Series "A" COPS for return to the banks to substitute the letter of credit prior to its December 2000 expiration date. For example, one approach would be to piggyback on the research, analysis, and financial planning efforts that will be necessary for the District to complete in preparation for the issuance of new long- term borrowings next year to fund the Strategic Plan Capital Improvement Program. 1Y"bmWapl Yq.�Y.ntlOer"ria�FgNFGaaRPapIiNRBP15.6x Page 3 Findings Series "C" Standby Agreement Each of the bank proposals for the Series "C" Standby Agreement was reviewed for financial, legal, and remarketing considerations. The summary table below provides a comparison of the five proposals that we received for Series "C." Based on the credit rating information supplied by the banks, the proposals from Commerzbank, KBC, and Morgan Guaranty were eliminated because the rating agencies have downgraded their ratings for each of the banks, and the resulting ratings are lower than the Aaa/AAA long-term rating of the current provider. A lowering of the credit rating for the Standby Agreement could impact the daily remarketing of the COPS by making them less desirable to investors when compared to higher rated investment alternatives. In turn, the District could pay higher interest rates on the COPs to compensate investors for their increased investment risk. The remaining proposals from FGIC and Bayerische Landesbank, both Aaa/AAA rated, were thoroughly reviewed and compared. Based on this review, staff recommends approval of the FGIC proposal, as implementation and cost savings would be immediate, straightforward, and would ensure continuity for the remarketing of the Series "C" COPs. FGIC The reduction of 17 basis points in FGIC's annual fee (from 37 to 20 basis points) would become effective immediately on May 1". This would deliver savings for a full eight months in 1999, and a total of 3.33 years, to the regular expiration of the current Standby Agreement on September 1, 2002. A simple Amendment to the Standby Agreement, stipulating the reduced commitment fee of 20 basis points, would be the only document to be executed. Thus, the District would immediately capture the savings generated by the reduced fee, and would not incur any legal costs from the bank, which would decrease savings to the District. Finally, notification to bondholders and the insurer would not be required, as the provider for the Standby Agreement would not change. Likewise, credit rating confirmations by the rating agencies would not be necessary. The District would accrue $100,184 of savings in 1999, and a total savings of$500,920 for the 3.33 years remaining for the current Agreement. Baverische Landesbank The 3-year proposal from Bayerische Landesbank is also competitively priced at a 20 basis points reduction (from 37 to 17 basis points). However, a number of factors, including legal, timing, and costs, reduce the overall benefits to the District from this proposal. �wanwoiyv. An�AHalFznrAMpAF.WIPY'1`A- Page aw,ena. arum The bank has proposed a number of changes to be made to the Standby Agreement. Negotiations and document review by legal counsel of both parties would delay the effective date of the new Agreement beyond May 1'r. The bank requires both domestic and foreign legal review. In addition, the bond covenants require that bondholders, the insurer, and the rating agencies be notified of the substitution of the liquidity provider. The rating agencies would conduct new credit rating confirmation reviews. Even with an aggressive and uninterrupted schedule, this process would require an estimated 30 to 60 days to complete. Bond counsel has advised the District of another legal matter. Specifically, the existing Standby Agreement is not entirely clear as to the District's ability to unilaterally terminate the Agreement, and the amount of termination fees that the District would be required to pay. With an effective date of July 1" for a substitute Standby Agreement, the District would accrue a $43,898 savings in 1999, and a total savings of$485,888 for an Agreement with a 3-year term. These figures are net of the legal fees that the District would pay to complete the transaction ($32,500 for bank legal counsel, and $12,000 for District legal counsel). Additional legal costs and termination fees associated with termination of the existing Agreement, would further reduce savings to the District.

Staff recommends that the Finance, Administration & Human Resources Committee approve the proposal from FGIC for an annual commitment fee of 20 basis points for the Series "C" Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, effective May 1, 1999 through September 1, 2002. The reduction from 37 to 20 basis points for this period will reduce our costs by an estimated $500,920. As a follow-up action, staff will work with bond counsel to develop an updated and clarified Standby Agreement for the Series "C" COPs, and have it ready for either the extension or substitution of the Agreement for the period after September 1, 2002. Also, staff will develop a revised action plan for remarketing and solicitation of a substitute Letter of Credit for the Series"A" COPS, and will review the credit enhancement facilities for the 1992 and 1993 Refunding COPS.

SUMMARY The Committee has previously approved an RFP and staff report regarding proposals for the review of the District's sewer service fee program. As reported last month, two of the four firms solicited submitted proposals. Because of uncertainties within the proposals, the Committee directed staff to obtain additional information. As a result of the subsequent request, one of the original proposers has withdrawn from further consideration. The remaining firm, Commercial Resources Tax Group, Inc., has submitted two proposals for consideration; a contingency proposal and a fixed fee proposal. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY The costs of the contingency proposal would be deducted from additional revenues developed. If there are no revenues, there would be no costs. The fixed fee proposal is for$1 million. This would be the equivalent of the contingency cost, if additional revenues of$2.9 million were identified. Additional services are included in the fixed fee proposal that make it very attractive. Again, funding can be expected from revenues raised. We are aware of 2,750 parcels with an improvement value, but no square feet, which are not currently billed. Approximately 1,000 of these are owned by governmental agencies. BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ® This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) 1Va0antlaYlMptlhNnVlpnaroFpHR£a�R6Upr1FAMpBL]B.d= Rsnietl a Page 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Annual sewer service user fees are intended to be collected as a separate line item on the property tax bill for every parcel using the sewerage system. (Some significant users are also billed directly.) The fees are based upon the types of development and the Revenue Area being served. Currently there are rates for single-family residential users, multi-family residential users, and several categories of non-residential use. This proposed review is directed at the non-residential users only. Non-residential user fees are approximately $25 million this year. The sewer service user fee is based upon the flow and strength of wastewater for the several categories per 1,000 square feet of building. Flow and strength parameters are the result of a study that was part of the Strategic Plan effort and was adopted by the Board last year. The square footage and the type of commerce are carried on the Orange County Assessors database. Because the District uses the Assessors database in a manner and for a purpose for which it was not designed, the information obtained is not always appropriate. Two examples include instances where (1) there is no square feet of improvements kept in the database, thereby generating no fees; and (2) the property use category does not match the current use, which may generate a fee that is either too high or too low. While the exact magnitude of the unassessed or under-assessed properties is not known, we do know that many tax-exempt properties are not being charged user fees, that the tenant mix in some shopping centers is resulting in undercharges, and that some commercial developments are inappropriately categorized. The current sewer service user fee ordinance allows users to apply for an adjustment if they can prove that their sewerage system use is lower than the average for their category. Many of the adjustment requests have come through the fine that has proposed on our project. The knowledge they have gained from representing users and property owners will allow them to be productive on our behalf very quickly. Much of the database can be corrected prior to the 1999-2000 billing. Commercial Resources Tax Group, Inc. (CRTG), has proposed an alternative to their previous contingency fee proposal. In this proposal, they and the District would essentially form a "partnership" and work together to correct or modify property use types via site visits and to adjust estimated flows and strengths. CRTG would provide a "finding of facts" letter for each parcel reviewed. This third-party finding could be used to answer any questions and satisfy complaints from the property owner. CRTG would share the results of their field work to help us establish more accurate flow coefficients and reduce future refund requests. CRTG has already identified approximately 1,300 parcels for immediate review. These are high volume water users such as manufacturing plants and shopping centers with \Y bn`G"d1Mp4 %n\]lO[ AHR6M9 WAH�M. RM n Page t V multiple restaurants. By concentrating on the large users first, CRTG estimates that over half of the additional revenue sources could be identified prior to the next tax bills. CRTG has restated their original offer'to abandon the OCSD sewer service fee adjustment business," if they are awarded this project. ALTERNATIVES None. CEQA FINDINGS N/A ATTACHMENTS 1.

SUMMARY On occasion, unusual salary disparities, or inequities, develop either between an employee and the external market or between two or more employees. Typically, equity adjustments are made for one of the following reasons: 1. External Equity Adiustment: To adjust an employee's salary so that it corresponds to the prevailing rate in the external market. The very competitive field of Information Technology is one area in which inequities may occur. 2. Internal Equity Adjustment: To adjust an employee's salary so that it corresponds to the job's relative value to the organization. An adjustment may be made to correct an inequity that exists between a supervisor and his or her subordinates or between an employee and his or her peer(s). An adjustment may also be made to an employee's salary when an employee's level of contribution increases significantly as the result of an increase in responsibilities. It is recommended that the attached Equity Adjustment Policy be adopted to establish uniform guidelines and procedures for use in the distribution and administration of equity adjustments. In accordance with the attached policy, equity adjustment requests will be submitted through the budget process each year. In unusual circumstances, a request may be considered outside of the budget process. Requests made outside of the budget process will be evaluated and implemented once a year in November. Human Resources will review all equity adjustment requests. Those recommended for approval will be forwarded to the General Manager who will make the final determination on the adjustments. H'.W ft. p�AHWFahRl9pn AHM&27.O Rea , vmva Page 1 r It is further recommended that the equity adjustment pool be set each year at .25% of total payroll. The actual fund amount will be approved annually by the Board of Directors during the budget approval process and will be placed in an equity adjustment fund in the General Manager's Office.

The classifications have the same or comparable requirements for education, experience, knowledge,skills and abilities. 3.3 Competencies—The education, experience, responsibilities, knowledge,skills and abilities an employee possesses. The acquisition of new or different competencies that support the operational unit tend to broaden the scope of the job. 3.4 Market—Ten comparable California utilities. 3.5 Market Rate—The average salary being paid in the market for a given job. The District conducts a salary survey every two years to determine market rates. 4.0 POLICY 4.1 It is District policy to correct pay inequities, in accordance with this policy,that can not be remedied with the annual merit review program. 4.2 All District employees may be eligible for equity adjustments. 5.0 EQUITY ADJUSTMENT CATEGORIES 5.1 External Equity Adiustment—An equity adjustment may be made to an employee's salary so that the salary corresponds to rates prevailing in the external market for an employee's job. This adjustment may be made to bring an employee's salary closer to the market rate for his or her position. 52 Internal Equity Adiustment—An adjustment maybe made to an employee's salary so that the salary corresponds to the job's relative value to the organization. 5.2.1 Relationship to Subordinates—An equity adjustment may be made to correct an inequity that exists between a supervisor and his or her subordinate(s). 5.2.2 Relationship to Peers—An equity adjustment maybe made to correct an Inequity that exists between an employee and his or her pearls). The adjustment would be required to create or reduce differential between employees with significant differences in contribution levels. 5.2.3 Individual Equity Adiustmend—An adjustment may be made to an employee's salary so that the salary corresponds to the employee's competency level. The adjustment may be made when an employee's level of contribution increases significantly as the result of an increase in responsibilities. 6.0 PROCEDURES 6.1 Equity adjustment requests are submitted as Decision Packages during the normal budget process each year. 6.2 Each Decision Package must include justification forthe equity adjustment request. Justification should include the employee's name;the Equity Adjustment Category;the employee(s)with whom the inequity exists, if applicable;the amount of equity adjustment required to correct the inequity; and, any other supporting information. 6.3 In unusual circumstances, a request may be considered outside of the budget process. Consideration is initiated by submitting a Justification Memo, outlining the information listed in Section 6.2 of this policy,to Human Resources. Equity adjustments recommended outside of the budget process will be considered once a year In November. The equity adjustment, if approved,will be funded by the General Manager's contingency fund. 6.4 Human Resources will review all equity adjustment requests to ensure compliance with the District's Salary Structure and Compensation Policy;to provide market or peer comparative data;to provide data for comparison across departments; and,to provide information and advice as requested. 6.5 If an equity adjustment has been approved, either through the budget process or outside of the budget process, Human Resources will process the equity adjustment increase by generating an Employee Status Change Form and obtaining the necessary signatures. 6.6 The General Manager will sign all Employee Status Change Fortes. 6.7 Equity adjustment increases authorized in the budget process will be made effective at the start of the first pay period of the new fiscal year. All other adjustments will be made effective on the first day of the pay period in which the Employee Status Change Forth is submitted to Payroll. 6.8 There shall be no right to an equity adjustment. Such adjustments shall be made at the sole discretion of the District and shall not be subject to the grievance procedure or to judicial review. 7.0 EXCEPTIONS 7.1 Employees on Performance Improvement Plans (PIP's) are not eligible for equity adjustments. 8.0 PROVISIONS AND CONDITIONS 9.0 RELATED DOCUMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS Meeting Dare Toed.ofoo-. ¢zags * AGENDA REPORT Item NumberI� mbe Orange County Sanitation District FROM: David Ludwin,�)Ctor of Engineering Originator: Dennis May, Principal Engineering Associate SUBJECT: CHEMICAL FACILITY MODIFICATIONS, JOB NO.

Mechanical Corporation for Chemical Facility Modifications, Job No. P1-46-2, and Chemical Flow Pacing for Primary Influent, Job No. J-53, for an amount not to exceed $2,229,251. SUMMARY The plans and specifications for the Chemical Facility Modifications, Job No. P1-46-2, and Chemical Flow Pacing for Primary Influent, Job No. J-53, were completed in February of 1999. The designs were performed by Black &Veatch, and MacDonald-Stephens Engineers, Inc., respectively. On April 13, 1999, five bids were received ranging from a high bid of$2,512,500, to a low bid of$1,993,000, submitted by Olsson Construction. In Olsson Construction's review of their bid following the bid opening, they found a clerical error in tabulating their costs associated with the project and formally requested that their bid be removed from consideration for this project. This request has been reviewed with District's counsel, who concluded that the error qualifies for bidder relief under the criteria of Public Contracts Code Section 5103. The Director of Engineering recommends award to the second low bidder, S.S. Mechanical Corporation, for $2,229,251. The engineer's estimate is $2,994,000.

The attached Budget Information Table for P1-46-2 has sufficient funds to cover the combined project. r ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This project permanently replaces the chlorine odor control and plant water disinfection at Plant No. 1 with hydrogen peroxide and bleach facilities and replaces four existing ferric chloride pumps, which have reached the end of their useful life. Plant No. 1 has become a chlorine-free plant, which improves safety for plant staff and the public. Temporary facilities to feed bleach and hydrogen peroxide were installed until the permanent facilities could be constructed. The temporary facilities have been in operation for over five years. This project was postponed as a result of the Orange County Bankruptcy and resulting budget reductions. A redesign was done in 1998 to address automation. The construction was funded in the 1998-99 CORF Budget. The engineer's estimate is $2,994,000. ALTERNATIVES No cost-effective alternatives have been identified. Replacing the temporary facilities with new temporary equipment would initially be less expensive, but the temporary equipment would eventually need replacement, would have a shorter useful life than permanent facilities, and would not include automation. CEQA FINDINGS This project is exempt from CEQA requirements. A notice of exemption was filed on April 30, 1993. This project is exempt because it consists only of repairs and modifications to existing facilities.

SUMMARY In 1970, Ms. Donna Moore purchased a house at 227 Virginia Place in Costa Mesa. The previous owner had converted the attached two-car garage into living quarters, and had apparently not obtained the proper building permit or Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) connection permit at the time of the conversion. In 1980, Ms. Moore hired a contractor to construct a new, detached garage. In December 1998, Ms. Moore was informed that the contractor did not obtain the proper City permits. Recently, Ms. Moore has been attempting to legalize the converted garage and the new garage. Currently, connection fees are collected for OCSD by member cities and Districts when building permits are issued. Since the OCSD connection fee was never paid when the original garage was converted to living quarters, the Costa Mesa Sanitary District, on OCSD's behalf, has requested that Ms. Moore pay the current connection fee of$2,360 or receive direction from OCSD as to what fee, if any, should be assessed at this time. At the time Ms. Moore purchased the house in 1970, the OCSD connection fee was $50. The actual connection fee could have been less, depending on when the conversion was done. The District's current ordinance does not allow a waiver of connection fees. Since the connection fee should have been paid over 30 years ago and by the previous owner, it is not recommended that Ms. Moore be assessed the current connection fee of$2,360. It is therefore recommended that a connection fee of $50 be assessed, which was the fee at the time Ms. Moore took ownership of the property.

Copy enclosed . Dear Mr. Ludwin: In 1970 I purchased a small 2 bedroom home with an attached 2 car garage, that the owner had converted into living quarters for their Mother. There was never a question foR the legality of the conversion , because 30 years ago Real Estate was purchased under "Caveat Emptor" . (Buyer Beware) In 1980 I hired a General Contractor to build a 3 car garage with laundry facilities . (Contractor deceased - 1984) It was not brought to my attention until Dec. 1998 that the Contractor had never obtained proper permits to build the garage. ( 18 years later) In order to legalize the converted garage and the "new" 3 car garage, I applied for and was granted a Variance from the City of Costa Mesa. After the Variances were granted, (Jan 11 , 1999) I went to CM City Hall to pay any fees applicable for the legalization and was informed by Dawn Schmeisser, (Sewer Assessor for Costa Mesa) that I owed a fee of $2300. to OC Sanitation District. This assessment would be grossly unfair because: 1 , Proper sewer permits were obtained 45 years ago. 2, With the exception of the garage, there has been no building done in 45 years 3 , I pay for the use of the sewer every year in my tax ' s As a Senior living on Social Security, I am sure you can appreciate the hardship this assessment would create for me.

Streed, Director of Finance SUBJECT: REDUCED CONNECTION FEE FOR 15-UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX ON A SEPTIC TANK GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Receive and file letter from Randy Grisham, property owner of 15 units in the City of La Habra. 2. Authorize a time payment plan for current connection fees of 15 units at $2,360 each for a total of $35,400. 3. Provide that in the event connection fees for multi-family units are reduced in 1999-2000, the reduced rates will apply to this connection. (Estimated new fees will total $20,520.) SUMMARY Staff has been contacted by the owner of a 15-unit apartment complex in La Habra. This complex is currently on a septic tank. Earlier this month, the Health Department cited the property owner and directed him to connect to the local sewer. The property owner has requested some time to pay for the connection fees, as the fees and the construction costs will total nearly $75,000. Because the Health Department has ordered an immediate connection, and because the District is considering a fee reduction in less than three months, staff recommends that the property owner be allowed to pay the current connection fees over a three-year period. Staff further recommends that any reduced fee that is adopted during 1999-2000 be applicable to this connection. The current fee proposal being proposed by staff is based upon the number of bedrooms in each unit, and would reduce the total fees for this connection from $35,400 to $20,520. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY Approval will reduce 1998-99 connection fees by $14,880. N:bq tlbae.nEaNvvN ne.ne.R.W IIWd B-M ne.ne.R.WU..IT. Rwrseo-r.

Gary Streed Orange County Sanitation District Dear Mr. Streed: As par our phone conversation today, I am sending you this letter to present to your committee, regarding the reduction and financing of my sewer connection fees. For the committee: I own a 15 unit apartment building at 2140 E. Lambert in La Habra, APN296-352-07. My sister and I purchased the property about six years ago and were made aware that it was on a fully functional septic system. Recently, we have had some back-ups in the system that required us to have the septic system pumped out. (Ironically, we didn't have to do anything with the system for the first five years we owned the building). During the course of these back-ups,we looked into the fees and work involved to hook up to the sewer. We were stunned to find out that it was going to war around $75,0001 (®$35,000 for sewer connection fees alone and an additional$40,000 for the plumbing contractor). Needless to say, we stopped pursuing that option due to the high rest and lack of available financing. Furthermore, we were assured by septic companies that a properly functioning septic system could last decades. So we decided not to pursue a sewer connection . We did have more back-ups and each time immediately called out a company to pump the system. Last month, during a back-up,the City of La Habra and the Orange County Health Department were called out by a tenant,and I have now been served with a Notice and Order to Correct a Code Violation;which is ordering me to pay the necessary fees to connect to the sewer or fare criminal prosecution! I am certainly willing to hook up to the sewer if only I could get financial assistance and relief. I understand that the board of directors is considering reducing the fees which would save me over$15,000 in permit fees alone! Yet, time is of the essence and I probably caul wait until this reduction in fees is adopted, due to the Order to Correct Notice I have received. 49 Page 2 To: Gary Streed From: Randy Grisham Re: 2140 E. Lambert, La Habra I am requesting that the Board approve my following proposal;given the urgency of the situation and the large sum of money I will have to pay for fees and construction costs: 1) After approval, I will apply for the necessary permits and pay one-third (1/3) of the current sewer connect fees. 2) 1 will pay another 1/3 of the total in one year, and I will pay the last 1/3 in two years. 3) I understand the committee is reviewing a proposal to reduce the sewer eonnem fees to$1620 for 3 bdrins, $1275 for 2 bdrms and$910 for 1 bdrms. Obviously, I would normally wait until this is in effect before applying for my sewer connect permit; however,since I am under pressure to act fast. I am requesting that if the fees are reduced, any reductions shall be'grandfathered'unto me and my total sewer connect fee shall be reduced accordingly. In consideration of this,I agree to pay the balance of my fees within 120 days of written notice that my fees have been reduced as outlined above. 4) As for the estimated$40,000 in plumbing contractors fees, I would certainly welcome a loan from the city of La Habra or any other entity you could suggest. If there is nothing available, I will have to deal with that expense privately. I am asking you to approve this proposal in order to come up with a win-win situation. Without your assistance, I would be under a tremendous financial hatdship to fund the connect fees and contractors fees myself;and, in failing to do so,I could be subject to criminal prosecution as well! That just doesn't seem right or fair. I am willing to work with all parties to get this resolved,but I do need help. Please call me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Randy Grisham
