A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT PROCLAIMING MAY 1999 AS
WATER AWARENESS MONTH
Whereas, water is California's most precious natural resource; and
Whereas, the drought years of 1987-1993 taught Californians the importance of
conserving water for the health and welfare of the state; and
Whereas, residents, local government and business have successfully decreased the
use of water in California; and
Whereas, all Californians need to continue to conserve water and to use water wisely;
and
Whereas, the Orange County Sanitation District is committed to responsible water-
resource management, including water conservation; and
Whereas, the District is dedicated to water recycling through our participation in the
Groundwater Replenishment System, an innovative program that will ensure a safe,
reliable source of drinking water for Orange County; and
Whereas, during the month of May, the District joins with the California Water
Awareness Campaign, composed of various urban and agricultural water agencies,
cities, farm bureaus and other organizations, to work to increase understanding of
water and to make water conservation a way of life.
NOW, THEREFORE, the ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT hereby
proclaims May 1999 as Water Awareness Month and urge all citizens to join with the
District in supporting local water organizations in their effort to help Californians "Use
Water Wisely— It's a Way of Life".
PASSED AND ADOPTED by unanimous acclamation at regular meeting of said Board
on the 281h day of April, 1999.

Dairies facing new manure-removal rule
Sanitary Districts
Cents Mae. 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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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

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

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

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

Gray calls for greater federal funding for clean water
Washington,D.C.—C. 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."

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.

The costs documented in the AMSA/WF.F survey are truly staggering. As
with so many mandates imposed on cities by other levels of government, Clean

rma.mas if any,consideration given to these requirements in the context of all the other
Uvetl 18aN
responsibilities of local government—police, fire,education. There is little,if any,
consideration of whether the"one size fits ail"mandates are cost effective or
beneficial in the areas of our country. There is little, if
P�^g try. any,consideration
given to the ability of our citizens to afford these costs.
There is absolutely no doubt that municipal elected officials are committed
to ensuring the citizens in their communities have the best possible environmental
protection;but the keyword hue is"possible." The costs documented in the needs
survey clearly demonstrate that no muniapality—no matter how large,how well-
off,or how committed—can find or generate the resources required to fnanre
these needs. 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).

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.

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. Millions must be spent in thousands of communities on both

wastewater treatment plants and on 'wet weather' discharges. 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.

Massive funding gaps are jeopardizing America's hard-won water quality gains.
DESP= A SiGNIFICANr NATIONAL COMMITMENT to curb water pollution, America finds itself

pollution, arc being forced to choose between maintaining thew basic wastewater treat-
ment programs and meeting a new generation of water quality requirements. While

losing ground. Unless we,as a nation, act now, we risk losing the battle against
water pollution.

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

of dean. 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

Local Versus Federal Wastewater Expenditures
Including SRF Capitalization- 1972-1998- and Local Operations & Maintenance Costs
While the federal contribution to wastewater infrastructure has remained

increased their spending. If this trend continues, infrastruc

Dear Mr. McIntyre:
I manage the US-Taiwan bilateral program in USEPA's Office of International Activities (OIA).
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. Again, I thank you and Ms. Tran for your assistance in the two
workshops and I look forward to our future collaboration.
Sincerely,

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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Distribution
FROM: Ed Torres
Manager, Air Quality & Special Projects Division
SUBJECT: SCAQMD's Initiatives on Environmental Justice and Children's Air Quality
Agenda
I would like to bring to your attention two recent initiatives being put forward by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) that will likely impact the
future operations of our facilities, especially the Central Generation System (CGS)
engines. 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.

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.

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.•.

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.

CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SANITATION AGENCIES
MIDYEAR SESSION -ANNUAL WORK CONFERENCE
Rancho Las Palmas —January 21-23, 1999
The midyear session began with registration beginning at 8:00 am on Thursday, January 21. 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"

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.

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.
"We have to have a massive change in the way we live on the
landscape."

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.

But unlike the recession years of the mid-1990s,when Orange
County lost an average of 29,000 people to "domestic

people within the United States—the economy now provides
a slight net gain.
"We're an economy that's hitting on all cylinders right now and

Mediator Will Try to Keep Water War From Boiling Over
■Resources: Imperial Valley farmers and the MWD are fighting over
Colorado River allotments. 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."

Will seek other uses than 'toilet-to-tap'
By Kathryn Balint
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
April 1, 1999
SAN DIEGO — A San Diego City Council committee yesterday flushed
the city's "toilet-to-tap" program down the drain, and began focusing
instead on using the reclaimed water to irrigate landscaping and for
souteme industrial uses.
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.

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

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. Orange County Water District's Groundwater Replenishment System project
The guest stressed that the tour was very informative and that would share what they learned with their colleagues
back in Washington.

The Danger of Hyping Hazards
By DAVID FRIEDMAN
eadlines earlier this month trumpeted a report
,released by Rep. 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

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

concerns of the comfortable are of paramount political
interest. It may be, as coverage of the Waxman report
indicates, that placating such preoccupations eams short-
term media and electoral rewards. But unless eco-
advocates temper their efforts with badly needed
perspective, their agendas may do more harm than good.'

Gentlemen:
It has been eight months since I completed my internship for ECM,and I wanted to drop a line to
let you know how I've progressed from my experience at the District. 1 have been on a steep
learning curve with the Project Management staff at my employment with Dawn-Mar. 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.
Please send my regards to everyone in ECM, I miss the business relations and hope you are
doing well.
Sincerely, , N

HEADLINE: PLAN WOULD CREATE LABOR CABINET POST
BYLINE: Anthony York
BODY:
There is an old cliche in Sacramento that when it comes to legislation there is no such thing as an original idea.
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.

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.

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. But

"It's good to know that overall water quality is actually good
except for the watershed areas where the storm drains are, and

for the San Clemente-based Surfrider Foundation, an

(9) STEERING COMMITTEE DISCUSSION ITEMS (Items A-F)
A. Service to Areas Outside the District's Boundarv. Gary Streed provided a brief overview
of the history surrounding the previous resolutions addressing this issue, as well as the
current requests for service and options available. After discussion it was decided that
this issue would be re-addressed at the next Steering Committee meeting in April. The
draft resolution will be revised to include the issue of providing service to avoid additional
groundwater contamination and the request for special wording from Director Daucher,
and the current resolution will be provided for comparison purposes.
During the dinner break, Michelle Tuchman, Director of Communications, described the design for the
new permanent entry sign.
Michelle also discussed the possibility of holding several field visits for the Directors to view first hand
the problems of the Santa Ana Watershed. Possible dates will be discussed at a future Steering
Committee meeting.
The new Internet website was shown to the members. The Board of Directors page will only indicate
the name of the current director, the city and its telephone number. An e-mail link may be provided that
could be directed to Communications and forwarded to the Directors. No direct links to the Directors or

B. SAWPA Claim for Relief from User Fees. Gary Streed described the issues involved
with the request from SAWPA to not pay for the undercharged service. It was decided
that the issue would be presented to the FAHR Committee at its next meeting.
D. Declaration in Support of Biosolids Application. Bob Ghirelli discussed a first draft of a
Declaration in Support of Biosolids that other agencies will be presenting to the Kern
County Board of Supervisors. The members of the Committee decided to forward this
item to the OMTS Committee along with a staff report that would outline their concems.
E. Change in Organizational Structure. Blake Anderson discussed possible structural
reorganizational issues, along with the advantages and disadvantages of the various
options. Chair Debay suggested holding a workshop on this issue. General Manager
McIntyre said that he is concerned about increased tension in the agency because of the
uncertainty about the General Manager's replacement and other management changes.
He said that the Steering Committee needed to work with Blake and himself and agree
on something that it has confidence in and that would then filter down to the employees.
The issue of succession will be discussed further in a closed session at the April
Steering Committee meeting.

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.

SUBJECT: CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
EXTERNAL EVENT CONTINGENCY PLANS AND RELATED
PROCEDURES
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Consultant Services Agreement with Communications Performance Group,
Inc., for development of External Event Contingency Plans and Procedures to be
complete by December 1, 1999, not to exceed $110,000.
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.

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.

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.

Figure 1. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. If you need additional information, or
questions answered, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Shaen

(1) Establish a project budget of$8,100,000 for the Replacement of Back Bay Trunk
Sewer, Contract No. 5-46; and (2) Approve Professional Services Agreement with Tran
Consulting Engineers to prepare a sewer corrosion report, a preliminary design report,
and construction documents for the Replacement of Back Bay Trunk Sewer, Contract
No. 5-46, for an amount not to exceed $199,200.
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

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

SUBJECT: REALIGNMENT STUDY OF THE SANTA ANA RIVER
INTERCEPTOR (SARI), CONTRACT NO. 2-41
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Addendum No. 3 to Professional Services Agreement with Holmes &
Narver for coordinating the preparation of a Geotechnical Study for the Realignment
Study of the Santa Ana River Interceptor, Contract No. 2-41, for an additional
amount of$222,180, increasing the total compensation from $234,530 to an amount
not to exceed $456,710.
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.

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.

SUBJECT: IMPROVEMENTS TO MILLER-HOLDER TRUNK SEWER SYSTEM,
REACH 1, CONTRACT NO. 3-38-1
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
(1)Approve a budget amendment of$936,000 for Improvements to Miller-Holder Trunk
Sewer System, Reach 1, Contract No. 3-38-1, for a total project budget of$11.061,000
(2) Approve Addenda Nos. 1, 2, and 3, to the plans and specifications; (3) Receive and
file bid tabulation; (4) Reject the low bidder T.L. 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.

SUBJECT: DESIGN OF PRIMARY CLARIFIERS AND RELATED FACILITIES,
JOB. 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.

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.

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.

Job No. P2-60
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 include cake transfer pumps, electrical improvements,
flat bottom storage bins, increased building foundation requirements, and the grading
and paving of a surrounding area.
Staff recommends approval of Addendum No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement
with Carollo Engineers providing for additional design services and a credit for Job
No. P1-60, resulting in a net increase of$101,964, for a total amount not to exceed

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.

FROM: David Lu r Director of Engineering
Originator: David Ludwin, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: Temporary Staffing Plan for Engineering Department
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
(1) Approve temporary staffing plan for the Engineering Department;
(2) Authorize staff to negotiate contracts with staffing firms for temporary staffing;
and (3) Delegate authority for temporary staffing contract oversight to the PDC
Committee.
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.

(2) APPOINTMENT OF CHAIR PRO TEM
No appointment was necessary.
(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.

Wet Weather Adjustment
♦ 'Flows increase during wet weather
♦ Inflow
♦ Infiltration
♦ Amount of increase is proportional to sewers
♦ Residential laterals are 55% of sewer length
♦ Local sewers are 40% of sewer length
♦ Residential connection fees should pay
for wet weather capacity
Impact of Wet Weather
Adjustment
♦ Wet weather facilities are all flow related
♦ Flow related facilities are $1 .1 billion
at 2020
♦ Wet weather facilities increase Single
Family Residential (SFR) fees from $20
to $140 (to total of $1 ,700 to $1 ,820)
♦ Non-Residential fee range decreases
proportionately to $900 to $675 / 1 ,000 sq ft

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.

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.

Re: Renewal of Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance
Period: May 1, 1999—May 1,2002
Dear Steve:
In accordance with the May 1, 1999 renewal of the California Municipal Excess Workers'
Compensation (CAMEX) Insurance Program, we undertook an extensive and aggressive
marketing effort in order to negotiate a competitive program from several alternative insurers.
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.
Sincerely,
ROBER'T,F.)DRIVER ASSOCIATES )

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Gary G. 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

STAFF REPORT
Santa Ana Watershed Project
The District and SAWPA (Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority) have been working
together on Santa Ana River water quality issues since 1972. 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.

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.

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.

Re: Class I User Rates and Charges
Dear Gary:
This is in response to your memo dated January 12, 1999 subject as above,our subsequent
telephone conversation, and related discussion between Joe Grindstaff and Blake Anderson.
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.
SAWPA recommends that current OCSD O&M rates remain in effect until July 1. 1999 and
that any adjustments related to the net underbilling be waived.
Thank you for your efforts in resolving this issue.
Sincerely,
Michael Wynn
Chief Financial Officer

FROM: Patrick B. 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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

Conclusion
This report briefly reviewed the process, analysis, and results of staffs review of the
credit enhancement facilities for the District's Series"A" and "C" COPs. 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.

AGENDA REPORT 'e13�)°a )Mr I
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Gary Streed, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: SELECTION OF CONSULTANT TO REVIEW UNASSESSED AND
UNDER-ASSESSED SEWER SERVICE FEES (FAHR99-26)
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with
Commercial Resources Tax Group, Inc., to review sewer service fees and Assessor's
data for a total fee not to exceed $1 million.
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.

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.

AGENDA REPORT asm3(tlrber iyM �'J
Orange County Sanitation District ' /
FROM: Mike Peterman, Director of Human Resources
Originator: Dawn McKinley, Senior Human Resources Analyst
SUBJECT: IMPLEMENT EQUITY ADJUSTMENT POLICY (FAHR99-27)
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Equity Adjustment Policy dated July 1, 1999.
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.
PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY
No immediate cost will be associated with the implementation of this policy. The
recommended equity adjustment pool amount of .25% of payroll would total
$72,687 for fiscal year 1999/00.
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)
The equity adjustment fund amount of$72,687 would be placed in the Joint
Operating Budget for fiscal year 1999100.

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

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
(1) Approve the plans and specifications and Addenda 1, 2, and 3, for Chemical Facility
Modifications, Job No. P1-46-2 and Chemical Flow Pacing for Primary Influent,
Job No. J-53, on file at the office of the Board Secretary; (2) Receive and file letter
dated April 16, 1999, from Olsson Construction, the apparent low bidder, requesting that
they be allowed to withdraw their bid due to a mathematical error; (3) Receive and file
bid tabulation and recommendation; and (4)Award a contract to S.S. 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.

Job No. P1-46-2 and Job No. J-53 were combined and bid as one project. 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.

Gentlemen:
As we discussed in our meeting this morning,we request you permit us to withdraw our bid proposal for the
referenced project. It is our standard practice to reconstruct the bid and build a budget after every successful bid.
During this process we discovered a clerical error in the addition of material prices in the assembly of bid item p2.
We deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused,and are very disappointed we will not have the
opportunity to build this project for the District. Our apologies to all concerned.
Thank you for you courtesy and understanding.

reduced connection fee. and (2) Assess Ms. Moore a connection fee of $50.
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.

March 23rd , 1999
RE : Property located at 227 Virginia Place, Costa Mesa , CA. 92627
Sewer Permit issued 11 /06/58. 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.

AGENDA REPORT IemNumbe ]Gm1umbe
v
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Gary G. 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.

W. 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.

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
