McIntyre General Manager Post Office Box 8127 Fountain Valley, California 92728-1127 SUBJECT: CITY OF IRVINE ZONING Dear Mr. McIntyre: As a representative of the City of Irvine on the Orange County Sanitation District, I was very disappointed by the approach taken by District Counsel concerning matters related to the City of Irvine. Specifically, District Counsel presented information pertaining to the land use history of a portion of Irvine within District 7 without notifying me in advance. Such notification would have permitted me to verify the information and be prepared to provide informed input on this historical data. . District Counsel stated that the 1975 zoning for the Irvine Industrial Complex West (IIC- West) only permitted industrial uses. District Counsel also stated that the 1975 Sewer Connection Fee permit paid by Fluor Corporation was only for industrial land use. This information is incorrect. IIC-West allowed a variety of land uses. Specifically, as early as 1971�orporateTleadquarters (office) was permitted in the majority of the IIC-West zones as well as commercial zones throughout the City. The Fluor Corporation development was designated `Research and Light Industry"which permitted a range of land uses, including the following: 1. Research activities including research laboratories, developmental laboratories, and compatible light manufacturing. 2. Manufacturing, research assembly, testing and repair of components, devices, equipment, systems and parts. 3. Blueprinting, publishing and printing. 4. Administrative, professional, and business offices associated with and accessory to a permitted use. Mr. Donald F. McIntyre August 2, 1999 Page 2 5. Cafeteria, caf6, restaurant, or auditorium accessory with and incidental to a permitted use. 6. Headquarters offices of the industries. Under these regulations, Fluor Corporation constructed office, research and development and a 1,500 seat cafeteria on the property. District Counsel stated that the Irvine Business Complex zoning (replacing IIC-West) was an expansion of land use and not provided for in the District's Master Plan. This is incorrect. The new zoning established a limit on development intensity which was less than would have been permitted under the previous regulations. The City recognizes that corporate headquarters have always had the ability to expand their facilities. The new Irvine Business Complex zoning regulations provided for this growth by requiring a Corporate Headquarters Master Plan to outline all future development for the entire site. Prior to this requirement, the property owner was required only to submit a site plan prior to the development of an individual building. A plan reflecting all future development was not required. The new Irvine Business Complex zoning also clearly established a maximum intensity for a corporate headquarters site at .5 FAR office equivalency. In response to both these requirements, Fluor Corporation submitted a Corporate Headquarters Master Plan on March 29, 1983. The Master Plan, with a maximum intensity of.5 FAR office equivalency, was approved on January 30, 1984. The Irvine Business Complex zoning encouraged the development of revenue generating, residential and service oriented uses, and granted development credits for these uses. Through the use of these credits, the Trammell Crow Conditional Use Permit maintains the.5 FAR office equivalency originally permitted in the Fluor Corporation Master Plan. As stated by District Counsel, the District Master Plan considered this area industrial for the purposes of providing sewer service. Therefore, how can the District argue that the conversion of the area from industrial to commercial will negatively impact the District's treatment facilities? In fact, it would appear that the treatment of industrial sewage would have a much greater impact on the Orange County Sanitation District treatment plant than commercial land uses such as office,hotel and retail that were ultimately planned or built. Industrial uses require more water and add metals and corrosive chemicals into the waste stream. Mr. Donald F. McIntyre August 2, 1999 Page 3 I am forwarding this information to you, the District Counsel and the Board of Directors. I believe it is important that the Board have correct information in order to make informed decisions. I hope, in the future, the courtesy of advance notification will be extended to myself and the entire Board, thus permitting us to be properly informed and prepared on issues of such ' portance. in�ly CHRISTINA SHEA Mayor cc: Thomas L.

Villa Perk Yorba Linda Update on Huntington Beach Closure C.unty of Oren.. On July 1, 1999, the Orange County Health Care Agency closed approximately one sanitary Districts mile of Huntington State Beach due to high levels of colifonm bacteria. A team, comprised of the District, the City of Huntington Beach, California State Parks and costa M... Beaches, Orange County Health Agency, and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Midway Gry Board, was assembled to discuss the issue, develop strategies for identifying the W.tar Districts source of the contamination, and to get the beach reopened. District staff from the Irvine Reach Laboratory, Environmental Compliance and Monitoring, Collections, Engineering and Construction Management have been integrally involved in this investigation. The Microbiology Section of the Laboratory currently monitors the beach five days each week. The number of monitoring stations in the area of concern has increased 'To Protect the Public Heelth and Me Environment through Excellence in wastewerer Systems' Members of the Board Page 2 August 18, 1999 from every 3,000 feet to every 1,000 feel to better identify the exact area of contamination. Typically, though not always, the stations identified as being most impacted by the contamination are 6N, 7N and 8N, which are between Magnolia Street on the South and Newland Street on the North. The District's Collections Division has completed examination of 95% of the lateral sewage lines from the beach restrooms, using closed circuit television. Only one displaced line was seen, and it has been repaired, Hydrostatic testing of the interior restroom plumbing has also been completed. The restrooms did not appear to be leaking. The District's Coast Trunk line, the Newland Street line and the Huntington Beach Purchase line that runs from First Street to Newland, have also been examined by closed circuit television. No offset joints or breaks have been seen. However, the part of the Coast Trunk line that runs under the cooling water pipes from the power plant on Newland Street has yet to be examined. At this location, the line forms a 45- foot deep siphon, which is continually full of water. At a team meeting on July 29, a decision was made to drill monitoring wells along the area of closed beach. The intent was to determine the location of the plume of contamination. A series of five wells were drilled in the parking lot from the area of the siphon at Newland Street on the North to area of Magnolia Street on the South. None of the samples taken at five-foot depth intervals from all five wells contained elevated coliforn levels. The District then contracted with a consultant to punch shallow wells, 8— 12 feet deep, within 100 feet of the high tide line. Spacing of the wells was arranged at 100- foot offsets in two rows. Ground water was tested at each well with the hope of locating direction of the contaminated plume of water reaching the beach. The tests were performed on two days at opposite tidal cycles. None of the samples contained elevated levels of coliforn bacteria. The OC Health Care Agency sampled wells on the other side of Pacific Coast Highway on the power plant property that are used for monitoring movement of organic compounds. None of the well samples contained elevated levels of coliform bacteria. On two occasions during the week of July 28, concurrent sampling was conducted on the beach at the surfzone and offshore at the 30 feet contour(about ''% mile) and over the discharge pipe from the cooling plant. All offshore stations were clean, while elevated levels of coliforn were measured at the surfzone stations. The conclusion was that neither the District's offshore discharge nor the power plant discharge is a source of contamination. Members of the Board Page 3 August 18, 1999 A cooperative effort between the District, State Parks and the OC Health Care Agency in the offshore waters look place on August 13. Ocean water samples were collected at 1000-toot intervals along the surfzone between Newland Street and the Santa Ana River, at the same intervals in the breaking surf offshore and along a line at about 1000 feet offshore. Samples were also collected at 1000-foot intervals along the District's ocean outfall out to one nautical mile, and then along a diagonal from the one-mile point offshore back toward Newland Street. This right triangle sampling pattern was aimed at determining whether there could be a leak in the District's outfall pipe. None of these samples contained elevated levels of coliform. Because the Coast Trunk line siphon could not be visually inspected, flow meters were deployed in order to measure flow across the siphon. Meters were placed at Plant 2, downstream of the siphon, upstream of the siphon and in the Newland street line and in the Newland street line itself. The data demonstrated an apparent net loss of flow across the siphon. The status at this point is that the source of the contamination has not yet been identified. Attention is now focused on the siphon portion of the District's Coast Trunk line because of the flow meter data and the potential for a loss of wastewater at this location to travel along the sides of the power plant pipes to the surfzone. A diversion around the siphon is expected to be in place by August 18 or 19. Cleaning the siphon of debris should also be completed by this time, and inspection by television camera can begin. A subledger number has been established to capture all activities associated with this situation, and a cost update will be provided at the August board meeting. A map of the impacted area is included in the attachments. Water Resources Development Act Passes Conaress The 1999 Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) has passed Congress, and President Clinton is expected to sign it into law by the August 24, 1999 veto deadline. The District's staff worked with the Santa Ana River Watershed Group and ENS Resources to contact Representative Miller to secure local watershed funding. Representative Millers Congressional District includes most of the Chino Dairy Preserve. Section 523 of WRDA authorizes a 50% federal cost sharing to conduct a comprehensive study to determine the most cost-effective plan for flood control and environmental restoration and protection. The study area includes the Chino Dairy Preserve, Santa Ana River Watershed, Orange County and San Bernardino County. The next step in the process is securing a congressional appropriation to fund the study. Members of the Board Page 4 August 18, 1999 Final Effluent PAH Exceedence As reported in the May Board letter, the District's February monthly final effluent discharge sample exceeded its NPDES ocean discharge permit limit of 1.59 µg/L (parts per billion) for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The PAH value of 4.1 µg/L caused the District to be out of compliance in February 1999. Even though no PAHs were detected in March 1999, the District was also out of compliance for the March reporting period because of the permit-required method of calculating values. As a result of this exceedence, influent and effluent monitoring for PAHs has been increased to four-times per month (from once a month) to provide a larger number of sampling events upon which to determine permit compliance. PAHs have been below detection limits since February 1999. The PAH final report was submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board on August 12, 1999. Trunkline monitoring and industrial source investigations revealed no single source that could have caused the NPDES permit violation. In addition to more stringent permit-driven requirements, the District's laboratory detection limits continue to improve as older equipment is replaced with more sensitive instrumentation. Both these factors are contributing to more frequent detections of constituents that were previously below detection limits. As part of its periodic review of the District's industrial wastewater ordinance, the Source Control Division will be looking at the need for revisions to the local sewer discharge limits for PAHs. AMSA's Nonpoint Source Pamphlet Non-point source pollution is the major reason why 40 percent of U.S. waters are still impaired, after almost 30 years of the Clean Water Act, The Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) is promoting a comprehensive program to strengthen the nation's clean water program with a focus on non-point source pollution problems. AMSA recently published a pamphlet that explains the factors that contribute to non-point source pollution and what steps need to be taken to address the issue. AMSA's solutions include stronger laws and regulations, increased funding and research, better education, and more watershed-based initiatives. A copy of the brochure is attached. Kids Day at the District On Wednesday, over 150 kids and their parents attended Kids Day at the District. In past years, separate events were held for sons and daughters. The kids and their parents went on tours of the plant, held hulahoop,joke telling and chalk painting contests. Everyone was treated to popcorn and ice cream. This was a very successful event put on by the Communications Department. Members of the Board Page 5 August 18, 1999 California Senate Bill No. 709 -Waste Discharge Requirements and Penalties The California Legislature and Governor have passed Senate Bill No. 709 to require 83,000 minimum penalties for violations of permits issued under the Clean Water Act or Porter-Cologne Water Quality Act. The District's ocean discharge permit with modification from secondary treatment was issued under these laws. Due to perceived failures by the State and Regional Water Quality Control Boards to adequately enforce water quality laws, environmentalists sponsored this legislation to increase enforcement by state regulators. The California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) and the District's staff believe that the legislation is poorly written in its final form. The author amended a number of provisions from the original bill, but it was adopted through irregular procedures before other important amendments could be affected. There is a great amount of ambiguity remaining in interpreting the language of the law, and CASA and the SWRCB have committed to co-sponsoring a workshop later this Fall to explain the State's interpretation of the new legislation. Upon signing the bill, Governor Davis indicated that he would like to see future legislation that would correct these problems and restore some flexibility to the regulators, but the author has indicated that she will fight any such legislation. The Governors office has begun to circulate proposed new legislation, and the District's staff will work with CASA to get appropriate amendments to the bill. FY98-99 Meeting Room Usage You might be interested to know that during fiscal year 1998-99 some 930 meetings were held in the District's Administration Building conference rooms. About two-thirds of those meetings were for in-house use (staff only)with the remainder used to conduct business with outside organizations or to host special events. For example, the Council of Governments regularly meets here. Making the District's conference rooms available to selected outside groups is part of our public outreach effort and our good neighbor policy. California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASAl The CASA summer meeting was held in San Diego August 11-14. A number of important legislative and regulatory issues were discussed during the various plenary sessions and subcommittee meetings. State and federal initiatives dealing with Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) were the hottest topics on the agenda. CASA's federal legislative committee is proposing legislative language to clarify the application of TMDLs in impaired water bodies. On the state front, CASA has joined a lawsuit against the Slate Water Resources Control Board that challenges the validity Members of the Board Page 6 August 18, 1999 of the state's 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies. The list is a precursor to the development of TMDLs for pollutants of concern in the waterbody. Since 1996, the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) annually recognizes the most accomplished small and large wastewater agencies with the Achievement Award Program. The program covers three distinct areas, outstanding service award, public service award, and innovation award. The recipient of the public service award must demonstrate significant contributions over the past year in local, state, or national public service in areas of wastewater treatment, water reclamation, operation and management, public information, or environmental activities. The 1999 CASA Public Service Award was awarded to Blake Anderson and the Orange County Sanitation District for their leadership and vision in the creation of the Santa Ana River Watershed Group (SARWG). With this award, CASA recognizes Blake and the District's role in fostering the watershed management approach in solving today s water quality problems. SARWG emphasizes public and private collaboration to address non-point source issues, especially related to dairy waste management, and its impacts on Orange County's water quality and supply. Congratulations Blake! Chinese Government Official Visits District Zhu Mai Yun, a representative from the Environmental Protection Bureau of China's Guangdong Province, visited the District on August 5 to learn about the environmental issues we face in a growing region, including water resource management, clean water strategies and the effect of new legislation. The visit, which was hosted by Michelle Tuchman and Mike Moore, was set up through the Orange County Protocol Commission. Henry Yee, a member of the Commission, also attended, along with an interpreter. Newspaper Articles on Sewer Service Fees Attached in this packet are three articles that ran in the August 6 edition of the Register that report our efforts and the procedures we have set in place to reimburse residents on septic tanks who have incorrectly been paying sewer service fees. When the reporter first contacted us, he had information specific to Yorba Linda, having been provided that information by one of the residents who spoke before the Board in June. For the better part of a week, we provided the reporter with background information and other data, including letters to Yorba Linda residents, agenda reports and minutes from the July FAHR Committee meeting. The reporter also interviewed general counsel. As a result of the article and, in particular, the 825 letters sent to Yorba Linda residents, about 265 telephone calls were received. Members of the Board Page 7 August 18, 1999 Local Government Groups Resign From EPA Committee on Sewer Overflows NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES (NLC) NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES (NACo) ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE AGENCIES (AMSA) AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION (APWA) WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION (WEF) Washington, D.C. — Five national organizations representing local elected officials, sewer system operators and other water quality professionals announced that they have walked away from talks intended to result in new federal regulations for sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). Over serious concerns that the process was leading inevitably toward huge public expenditures with little or no environmental or public health gains, NLC, NACo,AMSA, APWA and WEF withdrew from the Federal Advisory Committee to call attention to the need for technically and financially feasible regulations. The groups will continue to work on developing reasonable national policies to prevent sewer overflows that occur during heavy storm events. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency currently estimates that the SSO problem will cost local governments and their ratepayers $80-$90 billion. But the draft proposed regulations could drive these costs drastically higher, say the organizations. The groups are also concerned that the draft proposed regulations would expose communities to frivolous lawsuits and allow state and federal regulators to micromanage local operations. Jack Lynch, the elected chief executive officer of Butte/Silver Bow, MT, said that the local governments had walked away from the process with reluctance. " We've put nearly five years into an intensive effort to work with EPA on regulations that are reasonable and affordable. Unfortunately, the process has derailed, and our only option is to abandon it and find other ways to protect our communities' interests." "Some SSO's are simply unavoidable, and federal regulations must recognize this fact," said Gordon Gamer, Executive Director of the Louisville/Jefferson County, KY Metropolitan Sewer District. "Leaving communities vulnerable to lawsuits and enforcement actions is no way to deal with this issue. The realities of operating a sewage collection system have somehow been lost in these talks." Presently the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is reviewing the proposed EPA rule that was developed outside of the Advisory Committee process. It is now expected that the rule will not be adopted during this administration because of OMB's involvement. Members of the Board Page 8 August 18, 1999 CEC Announces Workshop for Preliminary Discussions Regarding Opportunity Notice to Reduce NOx The California Energy Commission (CEC) intends to issue a program opportunity notice in November 1999 seeking proposals for NOx reduction. They are making up to $2,000,000 available in grant funds to cost-share up to 50 percent of project costs with a maximum of$500,000 per grant. The CEC will not require repayment of funds awarded through this program. Projects should support the development of emission- reducing technologies that could be used for projects eligible for funding through the Moyer Program. CEC staff will be conducting a workshop on Aug. 19 to solicit input from industry, government and others on the proposed program goal, funding amounts, program targets, schedule and other issues. The workshop is scheduled for Aug 19 in Sacramento. For additional information log on to http://w .energy.ca.gov/ contracts/1999-08-09 oon workshop.html>. Researcher Makes Cheaper Fuel Cell -Runs on Natural Gas A researcher says he has made an experimental fuel cell that runs on natural gas instead of pure hydrogen - a step that could lead to cheaper production of smaller, low-pollution power sources. The findings of the Northwestern University research team led by Scott Barnett are reported in the current issue of the science journal Nature. One type of fuel cell that shows promise in power plants is the solid-oxide cell. It runs best on pure hydrogen, which is usually converted from methane before being injected into the cell. Fuel cells powerful enough for power plants run at higher temperatures and can easily convert the natural gas into hydrogen by recycling their own heat and steam. Smaller fuel cells- perhaps big enough to power a single home or automobile- don't produce enough heat to do that and need costly external converters. "If you could eliminate that extra hardware and just put natural gas into your fuel cell, you'd be that much closer to making this (fuel cells) a commercial reality," Barnett said. In previous experiments, cells cracked and became caked with carbon at higher temperatures, and at lower temperatures, the cells did not produce much electricity. Barnett was able to make a fuel cell in a lab work at a lower temperature by using cerium-oxide. Cerium-oxide, also found in catalytic converters, makes the methane read quickly. Members of the Board Page 9 August 18, 1999 DOE experts had mixed reactions to the study. 'The success at a lower operating temperature is significant," said John Turner, a senior scientist at the DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). "Lower temperatures put less strain on the components, meaning cheaper parts could be used." Another DOE expert said Barnett's experiment was too limited. "He has not done it on a large enough scale under realistic operating conditions to draw the conclusions he's drawing," said Michael Krumpelt, manager of the fuel cell program at the Argonne National Lab outside Chicago. - AP Monthly Summary of Operations (MSO). Data Development Project Translates into District's Savinas The Monthly Summary of Operations is a historical record of the treatment plant unit process. It is an extensive compilation of regulatory and operations required laboratory data, field data gathered and recorded by the operators and data calculated to measure the performance of the unit processes using a combination of lab and field data. The data is used to manage the daily operation of the plants, determine regulatory, evaluate unit process trends, optimize performance, and provides a record for planning and design of future facilities. Seventy-six pages of daily data for each month are currently recorded. Currently, the Operations Division manually keys in data from the Laboratory's Information Management System, the Process Control System's SCADA, and the plant log sheets into several Excel spreadsheets to create the Monthly Summary of Operations (MSO) Reports. Often times the format of the MSO Excel files are changed to accommodate usage. The ability to retrieve, analyze, and trend this spreadsheet data over time is difficult and requires several man-hours to do. In addition, re-entering data that is in electronic format magnifies the possibility of keying errors. As part of the Data Warehouse project, which you'll be hearing more about in another article, the I.T. Department set out to enhance the MSO creation and report generation process by working hand-in-hand with the O&M Department. The basic goals of the project were to create an open system so that the other District's computer systems like the Data Warehouse and the Air Quality Information Management System could get access to the MSO database. We also wanted to enable faster, more reliable, and secure creation of the MSO Reports. To meet those goals, I.T. partnered with key O&M personnel to create a user friendly online data entry application for Operations to input the MSO data that is already available electronically. A database was designed and built to consolidate and contain all the data elements that are currently manually gathered for the MSO reports. Finally. I.T. worked closely with O&M to rewrite and create a series of new MSO reports that return data from the new MSO database and the appropriate Members of the Board Page 10 August 18, 1999 operational systems. Excel was chosen as the reporting tool based on the O&M staff's working knowledge of Excel. After a period of running in parallel with the old system, Plant 1 is scheduled to go live in September and Plant 2 shortly thereafter. The Operations Division will no longer have to hand enter 670 or 46% of the 1,445 total daily data points that make up the MSO reports. The 670 data points can now be extracted automatically from the source systems at the time of the creation of the MSO reports. With these 670 daily data points eliminated, the annual labor savings to the District are estimated at $134,000 a year in data entry time. The data not presently available by electronic means will be evaluated in future projects to capture further labor savings. Key members of the project team are Ron Wade, Dave Heinz, Vic Zorzynski, Chung Nguyen, Pongsakdi Cady, Mark Esquer, John Swindler, Doug Cook, Shabbir Basrai, John Finias, Yvonne Hauser, Sandy Sakamoto, Sherrell Brown, Kathy Fielden, Victoria Raymond, Richard Tyler, Greg Cheseboro, Bill Pease, Robert Livingston, Joan Lebrun, Tony Pira, Henry Salgado, Bob Ooten, Patrick Miles, Dan Tremblay, George Robertson, and Kathy Waldon.

Members of the Board Page 11 August 18, 1999 US, and Atlanta Reach Settlement to Fix City's Aoing Sewer System On July 29, the EPA announced that the US and Georgia reached a settlement with the City of Atlanta to resolve water pollution violations throughout the city's sanitary sewer system. The city will pay a $700,000 civil penalty and must take corrective action to bring its sewer system into compliance with the Clean Water Act and the Georgia Water Quality Control Act. The city is prohibited from installing new sewer lines in neighborhoods where the systems lack capacity to handle new Flow, unless the city either increases system capacity or reduces flow from other sources. The city is also required to implement detailed programs for pipes that carry sewage to treatment plants and to install flow-monitoring devices throughout the sewer system in order to determine the amount of flow handled by the system. This is the second of a two-part settlement with the City. In September 1998, the city agreed to resolve federal and state water violations at its combined sewer overflow facilities. Under the first settlement, the city must implement a $27.5 million supplement environmental project that calls for the creation of a greenway corridor and a one-time stream cleanup along selected waterways. The city will also pay a $2.5 million penalty—the largest Clean Water Act penalty every assessed against a municipality. Out of the Office I will be attending several conferences during the next month and Blake Anderson will be acting General Manager during my absences.

Economic development and quality of life in California are critically dependent on how effectively our basic infrastmctrre systems such as transportation, housing, education, water supply, waste disposal, flood control and power supply meet current and f rem: needs. However,studies by the State Depariment of Finance, California Business Roundtable and the American Society of Civil Engineers, have identified serious infia.9trucmre concems. These translate into the need for approximately $100 billion in capital investment in basic infrastruchue over the next decade. Policy options, the process for considering alternative investments, and the benefits that Californians will gain from these expcudimres, (or on the reverse of the coin the devastating economic impacts that will occur if action is not taken) must be identified and understood. A distinguished group of key local, state and national speakers has been assembled for the Symposium to address the enormous challenges and opportunities California must face as we enter the 21' century. They will discuss what needs to be done to ensure that our infrastructure systems will support the economic prosperity and quality of life our society desires. It is our hope that the increased understanding you will gain about these issues by attending the Symposium will be of significant benefit to you and your organization as you plan for the future. Please register now for the Symposium by retuning the enclosed form today. Space at the Beckman Center is limited to 250 attendees and we do expect a capacity audience.

Dear Senator Costa: 9270BJ018 In the next few weeks, the State Legislature will debate and finalize issues relating to a State water bond. Governor Gray Davis' Public Works Commission recently t recommended a comprehensive bond package for next year's ballots totaling memee. between $3 billion and $4 billion for water and parks bonds. I am writing to urge the ^oe^a. Orange County delegation to support projects that address the much needed water • resource needs of Orange County and the Santa Ana River Watershed. CIO.. ah.h.,m A comprehensive set of water projects has been proposed by the Santa Ana ere. Watershed Project Authority, (SAWPA), on behalf of agencies here in Orange euB^B Perk County and within the drainage area of the Santa Ana River. SAWPA is a joint °° powers agency rwl.am veoey p g ncy that represents the five major water districts in the Santa Ana F,n°rd. Watershed Region and services over 4.8 million people in Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. w.ongm. Beecn Nvine r'Me6re Cleaner and more plentiful water will be ours if the projects move forward. The U. AAb projects will restore groundwater quality and protect the surface water and nle»v.n eeeN environmental assets of the Santa Ana River watershed. The plan will clean up the �B"vB water in the underground basins, provide protective measures against future PI°=elroe pollution, create below ground storage for over one million acre-feet of new water Seel 9eecn &,"w supply, and construct new wells to deliver water to the region's customers during dry rw.c years. The projects would increase water reuse rather than using water once and 1i0e Pert losing it to the ocean. Southern California would move toward increased local ybM Lim. sustainability and away from dependence on imported water if the projects move ...v.r o...o. forward. l.+n oLselcc. The projects would include the construction of seven groundwater desallers, the M. eradication of 10,000 acres of non-native water-guzzling giant bamboo (called W."ray Arundo), and the creation of 900 acres of new wetlands and open space throughout .u. ol.c.lw the region. The projects would include partial funding for the Groundwater Replenishment Project, the single largest planned redamation project in the United Stales. Furthermore, the program includes major flood control and storm water projects that will either rapture water for recharge of the underground storage basins or safely convey storm water into the Santa Ana River and prevent dairy manure from being washed into the river during heavy stones. -T.P,[ t Me Publ¢He.eh end Mi,Fm.mmm M M .gh&i Wle.ce 11 wen.—W SIRW. Senator Jim Costa Page Two August 19, 1999 Unifying its support throughout Southern California, SAWPA has contacted local elected officials and business leaders as well as all local water districts throughout the region. The Orange County Sanitation District Board of Directors, representing over 2.1 million people that we serve in the northwestern half of the county, supports these projects. Attached is the resolution of support that our Board of Directors adopted on July 29, 1999. Please note that our support of the California Water Bond is conditional upon there being spec funding language for projects within our watershed. The Orange County Sanitation District Board of Directors believes that funding under the Water Bond must be shared fairly and proportionally between the various regions of the State. As you enter the closing weeks of the legislative session, please embrace these principles: 1. The water bond must be separate from the other bonds; 2. The water bond must ensure increased water supply reliability and improved water quality throughout California; _ 3. The water bond must have significant funding language for Orange County and Santa Ana River watershed projects; 4. The water bond must provide funding for water reclamation projects like the Groundwater Replenishment System project of the Orange County Sanitation District and the Orange County Water District. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please give your thoughtful consideration to the benefits of improving water resources here in Orange County and throughout California by supporting the Water Bond.

Ghirelli, D.Env Director of Technical Services SUBJECT: Groundwater Replenishment System Water Quality Per your e-mail request dated July 2, 1999, District staff compared water quality data from the proposed Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) System and upstream Santa Ana River discharges. The Orange County Water District (OCWD) recharges Santa Ana River flows into the Orange County ground water aquifer. During dry weather, these flows consist primarily of discharges from upstream wastewater treatment plants. Since 1997, OCWD has operated a 0.7 million gallon per day demonstration plant at Water Factory-21 to generate water quality data, develop detailed costs, and refine design criteria for the GWR System. The water quality data indicates the recharge water from GWR will be substantially better quality than the current Santa Ana River recharge water, and it will also exceed the quality of water imported from the Colorado River Aqueduct and State Water Project. Like the demonstration plant, the full-scale GWR System will use advanced treatment processes to remove pathogens, organic compounds, heavy metals, and mineral salts and produce a water of much better quality than upstream tertiary treatment systems. All wastewater discharges to the Santa Ana River receive tertiary-level treatment and disinfection. Some of the dischargers have advanced tertiary, which utilizes ultraviolet light or wetlands to further treat the water. The enclosed map shows the dischargers in the watershed and their respective levels of treatment. Also referenced on this map are the plants' permitted total dissolved solids (TDS) limits. The table below compares the quality of GWR water and treated wastewater discharged to the Santa Ana River. Local groundwater and imported water quality is also included for reference. In the case of TDS and total organic carbon, the GWR System's water quality is much better than any other water sources.

C816MOF ARCHIVES GROWTH: As the county swells, residents may AUTOMOTIVE have to alter their thinking about drinking recycled CLASSIFIED have water. COLUMNS COMMUNITY NEWS CRIME a COURTS August 9, 1999 EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT ENTERTAINMENT a By MAYRAV SAAR TRAVEL The Orange County Register HEALTH FERNESS LIBERTY ONLINE It's like one of those dauntingmath problems that taxed our LIVING a SHOPPING brain as a school kid: p y GOVERNMENT REAL ESTATE SCIENCE a The average person uses 100 gallons of water a day. Orange TECHNOLOGY County is growing by about 25,000 people a year. Southern SERVICES & California uses more than its share of the Colorado River,but SPORTS s RECREATION the county is in a building boom. WEATHER Find a solution to what sounds like an impending water shortage. Sounds tough,but the answer may lie in higher prices,new technologies and your toilet. All the water that ever was or ever will be on Earth is here now. Mother Nature simply recycles her supply through snow, rivers and rain. And to ensure that our cups always runneth over,water agencies are going to have to mimic nature by purifying waste water and adding it to our drinking supplies. Members of the research group Focus on Orange County's Water Future say advances in reverse osmosis,microfiltration and ultraviolet purification already make recycling tap water a possibility. What's standing in the way is that little voice in the back of all our minds saying, "Eyew" "In this country,you were taught that going potty is filthy, dirty,yuck," said Ron Linsky,director of the National Water Research hlstitute, based in Fountain Valley. "But we know our technology very well. We know that we now have multiple barriers to prevent any diseases from getting to us. You cant legislate behavioral changes. You just have to deliver accurate,truthful information." Treated waste water is already being used to recharge the county's ground-water supply and stave off seawater intrusion. Eventually,the water percolates back into the drinking supply. But sipping the stuff outright is another thing altogether. Squeamishness forced a similar reverse-osmosis plan to run dry three months ago at the El Toro Marine base.The Irvine Ranch Water District and the U.S.Navy planned to build a$30 million desalter plant to clean up a plume of contaminated water emanating from the base. More than 16,000 families a year were expected to be served the purified results, but public opinion killed the plan. Instead, the cleaned plume water will be relegated to the purple pipes of the district's reclaimed-water system and will be used for landscape irrigation, agency officials said. Whether or not the public eventually embraces the idea of consuming treated waste water,people will still have to drink in another unsavory reality: increased prices and scaled water rates. "There's an adage in the water industry: There is no shortage of water, only a shortage of affordable water; " said Keith Coolidge,associate general manager of the Municipal Water District of Orange County. The cost of importing water from the Colorado River and the Northern California Bay-Delta water system near Sacramento is expected to rise sharply, and current federal legislation is conspiring with population growth to make imported water exceptionally expensive. Coolidge said average residential monthly costs will probably increase by about $3 to $5 over the next 10 years. Water officials say Orange County is going to have to wean itself off imported water in order to affordably quench its thirst. "The whole way we think about water is changing in Southern California," said Adan Ortega, spokesman for Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. "Right now is a great time to not know how water works because it's being rewritten as we speak." Metropolitan supplies 60 percent of the water used by more than 15 million people in Southern California, from Ventura to San Diego counties. The district gets its water from the Colorado River and the Northern California Bay-Delta—two areas that are getting more possessive of their resources. ' Environmental concerns in Northern California have the future of imported water in doubt. For example,new laws prohibit the MWD from turning on its pumps when smelt congregate around them in the delta As a result,the Metropolitan experienced its first"environmental drought" this year. Also,the federal government is clamping down on Southern California for having historically drawn more than its share of Colorado River water. Water districts representing agricultural agencies in the state negotiated a tentative agreement last week with thew historic enemy,MWD,to re-evaluate how water is used. The agreement calls for MWD customers to continue to conserve while it tries to buy agricultural districts' excess supplies. This is exactly the kind of"Chinatown"-style wrangling founders of the Serrano Water District in Villa Park foresaw back in 1928,when they proposed a$I million bond issue to create the 8 billion-gallon Irvine Lake.By damming up the water that creeps down from the Cleveland National Forest, Serrano is able to serve all its customers without a drop of imported water. "At the time,everybody probably lost a lot of sleep over the$1 million," said David Noyes, general manager of Serrano Water District "Now we have nice homes and aim landscaped lawns. We've even got a little excess water that we've been able to sell in times of drought" Noyes wasn't gloating. But were he to speak on the topic in south(range County,he might want to lower his voice. Cities south of the El Toro "Y"will have more difficulty giving up the imported stuff because they have virtually no ground water. Which is why cities like San Juan Capistrano are hoping to "make" some, said Lonnie Curtis, San Juan's water services manager. The city is embarking on a$25 mullion plan to pump the deep, brackish water seeping beneath the San Diego(1-5)Freeway and make it drinkable. In the next three to five years,San Juan Capistrano officials hope,at least 50 percent of the city's consumable water will come from local sources. "It's a neat project because, if it comes to fruition,it will augment imported water. And that's a good thing," Curtis said. "There's always been a need for local resources,but technology has really advanced over the past few years" to make drinking local water possible. Ortega said programs like San Juan's are a step in the right direction. Metropolitan gives rebates to its member agencies for becoming more efficient and has earmarked$15 million for water conservation. Still,there's this matter of psychology that needs to be overcome,Orange County water officials said. Michael Dunbar,general manager of South Coast Water District,has been known to take a long swig of reclaimed water right out of his district's reclamation plant in Laguna Beach,just to prove how safe the stuff is. But one man's drinking habits probably won't change a whole county's. Linsky said changing the public's mind-set is probably going to take the kind of education program that has made water conservation a success. "You can't buy water like you go and buy grapes," Linsky said. "You have to start to look at water as a multi-use supply— you don't use it once,you use it five or six times." With water managers already sold on the concept of recycled water,agencies are well on their way to feeding a growing population with restricted resources. But as they look for ways to avoid a water shortage,an even more difficult philosophical question has started to nag in the back of some water officials' minds: Are we preparing for growth because people are moving to Orange County,or is it the other way around? "The goal was to conquer the West,and we've done that," Dunbar said. "But you drive around California,and there's still a tremendous amount of open space. "Should that look like Orange County?"he said. "And whose question is that to answer?" newspaper n range County, m a .Regis ..

Perrino and his four-man crew have a simple responsibility. They remove debris from sewer lines. "Debris," of course, isn't so simple. Hair can be debris. So can grease, which in sewers regularly clumps up to the size and shape of what old body builders used to call medicine balls. Eggshells, beach sand, coffee grounds(and, sometimes, coffee cups)chicken bones,pillows,toys,dentures,jewelry,paper, porno tapes, shoes,tires, bicycles and chunks of old skateboard also can be debris. So can waste—cat waste,dog waste and, above all,human waste. And bugs. Bugs of all types inhabit sewers, including albino cockroaches so ugly they unnerve even the grown men who regularly visit them. About the only thing that's not sewer debris is that urban- legendary sewer dweller, the alligator. "Can't live down there," Perrino says. To do theirjob and remove all debris, Perrino and his crew have two basic options: They can drop into the sewers themselves and engage in a sort of hand-to-slime combat, breaking up blockages with shovels and pick-axes, and then hauling up the remnants in buckets. Or they can send down tools (everything from tires like Big Betty to huge pressurized hoses)to do at least some of the work for them.Then they'll scoop out debris, by hand,as cars and trucks and buses zoom past them on the street. About a dozen men clew sewer lines for the OCSD,which handles sewage created in Orange County north of the El Toro Y. A similar number of workers cleans lines for the smaller agencies that take care of south county's human waste. The job isn't sexy,but it is important—particularly during the peak ocean-swimming months of July,August and September. Parrino and his men play a critical role in the battle to keep toilets flushing and beaches as germ-free as possible. For example,much of the high-tech cleansing that sewage receives once it arrives in a treatment plant (everything from • chemicals to bacteria-eating organisms are employed in the waste-treatment process) wouldn't do much good if the sewers upstream from those plants weren't cleared of debris. Also, if the county's sewer lines weren't kept clear and free- flowing,then the smaller city lines that flow out of houses, businesses and anyplace else with a toilet could soon become unclear and less than free-flowing. That, Parrino and others point out, would not be pleasant. Think of it this way: If Y2K or some other disaster creates a world in which only the most essential people show up for work,you'll need (and want) Parrino at his post more than the president,the pope, or any newspaper employee. But none of this is on Parrino's mind as he explains the functionality of Big Betty and other tools. _ "We have a lot of equipment. Some of it is pretty technical," Parrino says. "And some of it," he adds,pointing to the tire and plastic buckets set new it, "isn't." As Parrino says this, his leathery hand freezes in midair, stopping about 2 inches short of actually slapping Big Betty as a sign of friendship. At 6:42 a.m., here at OCSD's Treatment Station No. 2 in Huntington Beach, Parrino has just finished his pre-shift paperwork and he's not yet wearing his gloves. Until those gloves are on, Parrino—not a fussy man—isn't inclined to touch anything that goes into the sewers. Parrino has been doing this for 11 years. The English language provides about 40 ways to express the concept of stinkiness. The variety might say something about people who speak English. Or not. But none of those words—maybe not even all of them strung together—accurately describes the olfactory carnage that can take place when two strong men pop open a pair of 350-pound manhole covers at a point in the sewer system known simply as Richman and Roselind. "It might be the smelliest place in Orange County," Parrino says calmly. Behind him, munching doughnuts and slurping beverages during their midmorning coffee break,his men nod ominously. From another man, such a statement would be idle speculation. But from Parrino,who spent 14 years as a meat cutter before turning to the OK pay, solid benefits and four-day work weeks offered to sewer workers by the OCSD, the words sound like a horrible truth. In any case,sewer stink is often random. The same location can be overpowering one day and relatively tame the next. Heat and the flow of water seem to be key factors,but predicting sewer stink is an inexact science.Few points in the OCSD system are as consistently smelly as Richman and Roselind. Also, sewer stink doesn't discriminate. The odor that on a bad day can float up from the manhole covers at Richman and Roselind is out of place in this Fullerton neighborhood of graceftil pepper trees and spiky palms. But sewer stink is a powerful thing. The stink from Richman and Roselind can,on a bad day,turn grown men into whining children, and turn real children into tight-lipped pedestrians, kids cagey enough to walk several blocks north or south of their usual path even if it means a tardy note from Richman Elementary School,which conducts business about 100 yards north of the sewer. "It can be ..." Parrino stops and absently sucks a Marlboro as he searches for the right words. Finally,he gives up and shrugs. "Not good," he concludes. Parrino and others aren't sure why this spot is usually so smelly. It's typical of the OCSD system's.96 siphon points.A siphon point is about 100 yards of U-shaped pipe that serves as a runoff for sewage streaming into county lines from city pipes. In a different neighborhood,this siphon point also could be a gathering hole for business sewage,which can carry chemicals and paints and any number of nonhuman wastes that, Parrino and his men will tell you, are sometimes nastier than the human stuff. This siphon point, like others,is also a gathering place for debris. As such, it's where Parrino and his men do much of their work. Most siphon points get cleared once every three months or so. Richman and Roselind, which carries particularly slow- flowing sewage, gets cleared once a month. 1 "We have to keep on it,"Parrino says of this place. "If we missed a month, it wouldn't be good at all." On this morning the world gets a break. Today's stink is only horrific,not intolerable.The men can even laugh a little as they use Big Betty to clear the line. One worker,Juan Ambriz,moves like a fisherman at the upstream manhole. Using a winch that once served duty on a tug boat,Ambriz lowers Big Betty down the pipe,feeling the tension in the metal line to make sure the big tire is upright. At the downstream hole, Parrino and two others wait and,after about 30 minutes,haul up a load of random,boring debris— some paper and wood chips and some of the unspeakable black sewer sand known simply as "grit." Nobody has to drop down into the sewer. This time. newspaper in 0,enge County.California ,fie ,.

These utilities, like businesses and agencies around the world, are trying to protect themselves from being infected by the "millennium bug,- which refers to the possibility that might misread the date of the new millennium when it rolls over from 1999 to 2000. This may result in computer malfunctions, the production of erroneous results, the distribution of bad data or complete system shutdowns. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has randomly selected 10 drinking water and 10 wastewater plants to participate in the testing. During the two weeks of testing from July 26 to August 6, called the Y2K Readiness Weeks, the facilities are attempting to prepare themselves for any disruptions. Throughout the Y2K Readiness Weeks, the facilities will test pump and valve operations, fire alarms, safety features, and all manual operations in case it becomes necessary to operate them due to computer malfunctions. The degree of testing is to be determined by the individual water facility Y2K coordinator in cooperation with the EPA. The EPA has coordinated these two weeks as part of its Y2K alertness initiative. The testing is a partnership effort between the EPA and other associations involved in providing water and sewage services, such as the American Water Works Association, the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies and the Water Environment Federation. The Y2K readiness effort is designed to increase awareness of Y2K testing, contingency planning and public communication by drinking water and wastewater utilities. In conducting these tests, and achieving positive results, environmental and utility officials are hoping to show the public that Y2K problems shouldn't cause undue concern. once the tests have been completed. the lessons learned will be shared with other utilities and also the public. The participants are encouraged to publicize their Y2K results in local newspapers and the trade press. In addition, all the lessons learned will be posted on the Web sites of the participating associations. The EPA is also planning to confirm the results and regional awareness with a press advisory on their Web site, which would emphasize the benefits of Y2K testing, contingency planning and what lessons were learned. John Koskinen, chairman of the President's Y2K Council, has been http://www.usia.gov/cgi-bir&ashfile/display.pl?p=/productstwashfiileAopiclglobal&f.../newsitem.shtm 8099 News trom the USIA Washington File Page 2 of 2 encouraging testing of all public utilities. In the water industry, the facilities are encouraged to devise contingency plans in case disruption does occur. The EPA is promoting participation in the Y2K Water Readiness Weeks "for only those utilities that have been diligent in their Y2K preparation activities and have carefully prepared their facilities for testing in accordance with the EPA Y2K Enforcement Policy." This policy was adopted in November 1998 "to encourage prompt testing of computer-related equipment to ensure that environmental compliance is not impaired by the Y2K computer bug." Within the policy, the EPA states its intent "to waive 100 percent of the civil penalties that might otherwise apply, and to recommend against criminal prosecution for environment violations caused during specific tests that are designed to identify and eliminate Y2K-related malfunctions." The EPA is expecting that as a result of the tests, the water utilities in the United States will be prepared "to operate normally on January 1, 2000, providing safe drinking water and clean water at that time."

SCIENCE a TECHNOLOGY SERVICES a "They knew in 1990 about the problem,and they didn't take PROMOTIONS any action to clean it up," said Arthur Newsham,63,a retired s�TMSEFt RECREATION Boeing project manager. "I can't speak for what happened in 1990," said McIntyre,who joined the district in 1995. "Perhaps we weren't as aggressive as we might have been." Attempts to contact J. Wayne Sylvester,the district's general manager in 1990,were unsuccessful. Yorba Linda Mayor John Gullixson,a sanitation district director who first served on the board in 1991,is blunter. "The sanitation district 10 years ago was a pretty sloppy organization,"he said. Gullixson says the district—whose board consists of representatives of 21 cities,two sanitation agencies,the Irvine Ranch Water District and the county—does,a better job now. But Newsham also cites what he considers questionable board decisions that were much more recent—the November 1997 move to generally limit future refunds and rebates,and the move last month to specifically limit cash refunds for erroneous sewage bills to those paid in the past four years. "They're worried about the district's liability," said Newsham, when they should worry about "the people who paid when they shouldn't have." Tom Woodruff,the sanitation district's general counsel, said the district,under state law dealing with property tax, "can't give more than four years of refunds.If we did,we'd be subject _ to a claim (for misusing)public funds." By contrast, there are cases in which the state Franchise Tax Board will extend refunds beyond four years if it is at fault. Spokesman Jim Shepherd said four years was-generally the limit on refunds involving mistakes by taxpayers or court disputes over taxable income—but not if"we made a blatant error." The sanitation district is allowed to extend property owners credits equal to the full amount of the fees they wrongly paid —potentially at a cost far greater than a four-year refund— on grounds that it's in the public interest to promote use of the sewage system over septic tanks. That's the offer Newsham is taking advantage of—while wondering about people "who don't want to stop using septic tanks (and)deserve their money back." "I'm not an attorney," he said. "It's just my layman's view. I think they should be doing more." Gullixson, who is an attorney,said the combination of refunds and credits "seemed like the best way to provide equity to everyone." But he said he wished the cash-refund option was more generous. "If I'd have had the votes, I'd have gone back further than four years," he said.

No numbers are available on how many septic-tank users are paying the fees—and this how much in refunds the sanitation district might owe— but is board wants to find out.It ordered the district to identify those who don't have to pay the fees and notify them of their eligibility for refunds. But the board also limited cash refunds for erroneous payments to four years,citing state law governing property-tax refunds. The only way property owners using septic tanks can get reimbursed for sewage fees paid beyond four years is through credits toward sewage- system hookups. That doesn't sit well with one of those who brought the snafu to the districts attention. "They're penalizing people who didn't do anything wrong,"Arthur Newsham said. Me Rem.

"I've never heard of a bonus that was worth twice the hourly billing, which was already pretty generous,"he said. Lawyers handling complex securities class action lawsuits in recant years have on average been awarded about 30%of the total amount recovered,said John C.Coffee,a Columbia University law professor specializing in cases involving financial wrongdoing. However,most of those settlements are for far less than recovered by Orange County,typically S20 million,Coffee said.And cases involving gigantic settlements like the county's have produced smaller payments. One of the two federal judges handling the countys bankruptcy case— John 1.Ryan or Gary L.Taylor—will ultimately decide how much of a bonus,if any,the attorneys receive.A decision should be made within the next month. John M.W.Moorlach,the countys treasurer and tax collector,said he faults previous county leaders for signing an agreement with the law firm that didn't more clearly state what the lawyers'compensation would be. He said he felt"sucker-punched"because he was not made aware that the fum could demand substantially more than thew hourly fee. Hannigan,Mercer and Bennett did a"great"job,he said,but their proposed bonus is too high. "On a legal basis,perhaps they have the right,"he added."But on a credibility basis,I'm a little disturbed."

PROMOTIONS a RECREATION WEATHER The leak has closed all but half a mile of the 2.1-mile-long beach to swimming and surfing. The sand,fire pits and bike path at Huntington State Beach are unaffected by the leak,which triggered a 5,000-foot-wide closure of the water July 1. The closure was recently expanded to 1.5 miles as bacteria,probably from sewage,spread.Such bacteria can cause gastrointestinal disorders in humans. "Were expecting a significant drop in attendance because there's less and less room at Huntington to send people who want to go in the water,"said Don Ito,superintendent of Huntington and Bolsa Chi"state beaches and Crystal Cove State Park. Huntington State Beach attracts more than I A million visitors a year. The Orange County Sanitation District—which has been searching for the source of the bacteria since early July—thought it had isolated the leak to a sewer line beneath a beach parking lot But water tests on the line Thursday night proved inconclusive.The sanitation district,which owns the sewer line,will inspect the pipe Monday or Tuesday using a cable equipped with a TV canes.

SERVICES & SPORTS a RECREATION Q.How much of the beach is cloud to water sports? WEATHER A.The area from lifeguard towers 2 to 13,a roughly 1-5-mile stremh that starisjust north of Newland Street and extends tojust south of Brmkhurst Street.Visitors can enter the water at a quarter-mile-long area at the north end of the beach,in front of towers 14 and 15.A quarter-mile stretch of ocean also is open at the southern tip ofthe beach.But beach officials are asking people to stay away from that area for the next couple of weeks because the snowy plover,a bird on the endangered-species list,has been nesting there. Q.What is the source of the bacteria? A.No one knows.County health officials suspect that the bacteria is contained in tow sewage that's leaking from the land into the sea.The Orange County Sanitation District inspected the sewer lines that serve 12 restroc ms,and did find a line break,which was repaired.But the line has not proved to be the come of the elevated bacteria.The Sanitation district also drilled holes in the sand, looking for pools of sewage,but found nothing. Sanitation workers are looking at a 260-foot-long section of sewer line in a beach parking lot at Newland Strect.across from the AES Corp.power plant.The line is part of a 7-foot diameter pipe that carries sewage from south Huntington Beach to the sanitation district's treatment plant along the Santa Ana River. Workers flooded the section of pipe with water to see if it leaked.It didn't. But it's possible that ground water surrounding the pipe prevented a leak. The pipe will be drained,and a cable equipped with a television camera will be placed inside so workers can look for creeks in the steel-reinforced concrete. htip://www.INxegi=.wm/=imce/b=hsI4w2.shtml 8/16/99 Polluted ocean nothing to sneeze at for humans Page 2 of 2 Q.What can be done if that pipeline is cracked? A.The sanitation district could install a temporary,above-ground pipeline that would divert sewage around the broken section.That would stop the leak.But it would take time for bacteria levels in the ocean to rerun to normal.So even if a leak is found Monday,it appears that water sports will be banned at least 10 days after,and possibly much longer. Q.What should I do if was planning to have a party at Huntington State Beech? A.The beach's sand and 300 fire pits are still open.So is the bike path.But the water is off-limits.You might want to hold your party at Beloit Chica State Beach,which also has fire rings.

GOVERNMENT REAL ESTATE SCIENCE& Sounds tough, but the answer may lie in higher prices, new TECHNOLOGY SERVICES& technologies and your toilet. PROMOTIONS SPORTS&RECREATION WEATHER All the water that ever was or ever will be on Earth is here now. Mother Nature simply recycles her supply through snow, rivers and rain. And to ensure that our cups always runneth over, water agencies are going to have to mimic nature by purifying waste water and adding it to our drinking supplies. Members of the research group Focus on Orange County's Water Future say advances in reverse osmosis, microfiltration and ultraviolet purification already make recycling tap water a possibility. What's standing in the way is that little voice in the back of all our minds saying, "Eyew." "In this country, you were taught that going potty is filthy, http://www.ocregister.com/community/aguax9w.shtm] 8/9/99 A question of taste on tap for O.C. Page 2 of 5 dirty, yuck," said Ron Linsky,director of the National Water Research Institute, based in Fountain Valley. "But we know our technology very well. We know that we now have multiple barriers to prevent any diseases from getting to us. You can't legislate behavioral changes. You just have to deliver accurate, truthful information." Treated waste water is already being used to recharge the county's ground-water supply and stave off seawater intrusion. Eventually, the water percolates back into the drinking supply. But sipping the stuff outright is another thing altogether. Squeamishness forced a similar reverse-osmosis plan to run dry three months ago at the El Toro Marine base.The Irvine Ranch Water District and the U.S. Navy planned to build a$30 million desalter plant to clean up a plume of contaminated water emanating from the base.More than 16,000 families a year were expected to be served the purified results, but public opinion killed the plan. Instead, the cleaned plume water will be relegated to the purple pipes of the district's reclaimed-water system and will be used for landscape irrigation, agency officials said. Whether or not the public eventually embraces the idea of consuming treated waste water,people will still have to drink in another unsavory reality: increased prices and scaled water rates. "There's an adage in the water industry: There is no shortage of water,only a shortage of affordable water,' " said Keith Coolidge, associate general manager of the Municipal Water District of Orange County. The cost of importing water from the Colorado River and the Northern California Bay-Delta water system near Sacramento is expected to rise sharply,and current federal legislation is conspiring with population growth to make imported water exceptionally expensive. Coolidge said average residential monthly costs will probably increase by about$3 to$5 over the next 10 years. Water officials say Orange County is going to have to wean itself off imported water in order to affordably quench its thirst. "The whole way we think about water is changing in Southern http://www.ocregister.com/community/aguax9w.shtml 8/9/99 A question of taste on tap for O.C. Page 3 of 5 California," said Adan Ortega, spokesman for Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. "Right now is a great time to not know how water works because it's being rewritten as we speak." Metropolitan supplies 60 percent of the water used by more than 15 million people in Southern California, from Ventura to San Diego counties. The district gets its water from the Colorado River and the Northern California Bay-Delta—two areas that are getting more possessive of their resources. Environmental concerns in Northern California have the future of imported water in doubt. For example,new laws prohibit the MWD from turning on its pumps when smelt congregate around them in the delta. As a result, the Metropolitan experienced its first "environmental drought" this year. Also, the federal government is clamping down on Southern California for having historically drawn more than its share of Colorado River water. Water districts representing agricultural agencies in the state negotiated a tentative agreement last week with their historic enemy,MWD, to re-evaluate how water is used. The agreement calls for MWD customers to continue to conserve while it tries to buy agricultural districts'excess supplies. This is exactly the kind of"Chinatown"-style wrangling founders of the Serrano Water District in Villa Park foresaw back in 1928, when they proposed a$1 million bond issue to create the 8 billion-gallon Irvine Lake. By damming up the water that creeps down from the Cleveland National Forest, Serrano is able to serve all its customers without a drop of imported water. "At the time,everybody probably lost a lot of sleep over the$1 million," said David Noyes, general manager of Serrano Water District. "Now we have nice homes and nice landscaped lawns. We've even got a little excess water that we've been able to sell in times of drought." Noyes wasn't gloating.But were he to speak on the topic in south Orange County, he might want to lower his voice. Cities south of the El Toro "Y" will have more difficulty giving up the imported stuff because they have virtually no ground water. Which is why cities like San Juan Capistrano are hoping to "make" some, said Lonnie Curtis, San Juan's water services manager. http://www.ocregister.com/community/aguax9w.shtml 8/9/99 A question of taste on tap for O.C. Page 4 of 5 The city is embarking on a$25 million plan to pump the deep, brackish water seeping beneath the San Diego (I-5)Freeway - and make it drinkable. In the next three to five years, San Juan Capistrano officials hope, at least 50 percent of the city's consumable water will come from local sources. "It's a neat project because,if it comes to fruition,it will augment imported water. And that's a good thing," Curtis said. "There's always been a need for local resources,but technology has really advanced over the past few years" to make drinking local water possible. Ortega said programs like San Juan's are a step in the right direction. Metropolitan gives rebates to its member agencies for becoming more efficient and has earmarked$15 million for water conservation. Still,there's this matter of psychology that needs to be overcome, Orange County water officials said. Michael Dunbar, general manager of South Coast Water District,has been known to take a long swig of reclaimed water right out of his district's reclamation plant in Laguna Beach,just to prove how safe the stuff is. But one man's drinking habits probably won't change a whole county's.Linsky said changing the public's mind-set is probably going to take the kind of education program that has made water conservation a success. "You can't buy water like you go and buy grapes," Linsky said. "You have to start to look at water as a multi-use supply— you don't use it once, you use it five or six times." With water managers already sold on the concept of recycled water, agencies are well on their way to feeding a growing population with restricted resources.But as they look for ways to avoid a water shortage,an even more difficult philosophical question has started to nag in the back of some water officials' minds: Are we preparing for growth because people are moving to Orange County, or is it the other way around? "The goal was to conquer the West, and we've done that," Dunbar said. "But you drive around California, and there's still a tremendous amount of open space. "Should that look like Orange County?" he said. "And whose question is that to answer?" http://www.ocregister.com/community/aguax9w.shuW 8/9/99 Water Online: Virtual community for the water industry Page 1 of 3 oe"r ibt� ,t►'r�l��i �lJll I ' > Search: lEditorial Archive _ JMgAfi*tid Latest Headlines 1 /�/ Return to News&Analysis Mom Latest Headlines Editorial Archive/ Survey: Americans Have Trust, Concern Over Tap Water Advanced Search Quality Month In Review 819/99 On the eve of the release of important new tap water quality reports to Industry News tens of millions of Americans, a National Environmental Education &Training Finns And Faces Foundation (NEETF)/Roper survey finds mixed feelings about tap water safety Case Studies and a strong desire for more information.

The survey found that 38% of Americans said they are indeed very concerned about their tap water YeAicalNet while another 38% say they are moderately concemed.

And, four of ten say they are not satisfied with the amount of information they receive. This shows that the new requirement to provide the Consumer Confidence Reports has widespread public support and clearly addresses a felt need. The degree of satisfaction with the information received can also be measured by future surveys. Other report findings are: • While the media, government and, most importantly, water companies are currently the greatest sources of tap water information,they are considered somewhat less believable than environmental or other public interest groups and doctors or other health care providers. • Doctors and other health professionals are the most trusted source of drinking water information. • Parents with children at home, sensitive to their family's health, stand out as being more concemed (80%)than non-parents(74%) about the quality of their drinking water. Parents are also somewhat more inclined to seek advice on drinking water from health professionals,to filter or boil their water or to use bottled water in the home. • Women as a group share similar characteristics to parents as a group, and this too may be a reflection of a higher level of concern for health. • Bottled water drinkers also stand out as a group with their own characteristics. They are a younger group and have the highest expressed wncem about safe drinking water of any group in the survey, at 82%. • Private well owners and apartment dwellers will not receive Consumer Confidence Reports but are still concemed about drinking water information indicating additional efforts are needed to meet their"right to know'needs. • Despite claims to the counter,there is evidence Americans do not know where their tap water comes from.The survey found,for example,26% of Americans say they do not know even in general terns,where their water comes from.

By JACKBURBY Inwenty years ago, Rand Corp.,a Santa Monica think tank,proposed cutting the ties between water supply and politics so that its price would reflect what a buyer was willing to pay,not what government ruled it was worth. ADVERTISEMENT Government's only role would be that of a utility commission to make sure that the wealthy did not get most of the water, f r leaving the poor with moist mud. Rand reasoned that if water were priced in an open market, buyers would waste far less of "`''•'••• I•• it,and the state's barely adequate,perhaps even meager, _ _ — supplies would stretch further. GREAT SAVINGS! I It made sense to some Californians--mostly economists-- who saw no reason to treat water differently than any other commodity that got haggled over. But it was intensely ignored I by those with the largest stake in keeping things as they were, $ particularly farmers and managers of water agencies who were 129g I the law unto themselves. _"''"'"•`_°J The concept of a free market in water is no longer a barrier to change,thanks in large part to the economists,who helped turn doubters around,and to former Sen. Bill Bradley,now a Democratic candidate for president. With Rep. George Miller, a California Democrat, as co-sponsor, Bradley wrote much of Rand's analysis into a bill in 1992. Then he not only got the bill through Congress but also got President Bush to sign it while then-Gov.Pete Wilson,farm groups and strong Bush supporters pleaded for a veto. Tim Quinn,then a planner for the Metropolitan Water District,urged his agency to support the bill as one way to free up water the Met would need in the future. Private companies, including Cadiz Inc., a subsidiary of foreign investors,are preparing to get into the water business. A representative of Cadiz, Keith Brackpool, is in fact the closest advisor on water matters to Gov. Gray Davis. Why,then,are the same people who fought the bill as well as the economic missionaries who supported it acting as though the Bradley bill doesn't exist seven years after it became law? Largely because Bradley's bill wrapped its arms around every environmental problem caused by waste, around increasing the price of irrigation water,around who wins and who loses when the state's water policies are revised on a grand scale and around whose water it is to begin with. Americans today live in a winner-take-all society that is very different from the days when an implied social contract counseled providing the greatest good for the greatest number. In the heat of battle over who is in charge of water policy, it is possible to forget that a shoddy,wasteful water system would someday lead to misery for millions of real human beings. Agribusiness and big water agencies still want higher dams, more reservoirs and fewer restrictions on water development just as urgently as they did in 1992. Environmentalists still want to heal damage caused by huge pumps shipping water south from rivers and the prolific nursery of wildlife and fish known to Californians simply as "the delta"The only way to do that is to put some limits on the amount of water that can be pumped. So what is slowing progress on water and creating mistrust between the two opposing views is a kind of nervous exhaustion. Poker players are cool,we say. But put even the best of them around a table and make them deal hands for seven straight years,and they would be climbing the walls. California's special water interests are doing just that, except they are jumping the gun in courts and letting off steam with angry press releases. As an example of the adversarial mood these days: Two men—Tom Graff,an Environmental Defense Fund lawyer with a degree in economics,and Quinn, also an economist,now deputy general manager of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,the largest agency of its kind in the nation—worked hard and effectively together to get the Bradley-Miller bill enacted,though they came at the problem with different perspectives. Today,they're barely on speaking terms. Quinn wants to get started on projects to get more water. Graff believes that technical fixes should wait until all of the waste possible has been squeezed out of the existing system so that California can tell the difference between new structures it needs and those it can do without. Part of the snail's pace of putting the 7-year-old law to work is caused by the approach to writing the Hiles for implementing the law that has been taken by Cal-Fed,a joint commission of water specialists appointed by state and federal officials. It's held hearings from one end of the state to the other,drafted and n:drafted dozens of versions of the new rules,in an effort to avoid hurt feelings among the interest groups scrambling to have their own way. That's as hopeless a goal as is the chance of any group getting all it wants from the Cal-Fed process. A seemingly endless battle over how to allocate Colorado River water between urban and nual users in Southern California was settled last week.The issues were different and in some ways more complex than those Cal-Fed is struggling with. But there was enough similarity—including buying and selling water in a free market—to raise hopes that the Cal-Fed effort need not be an exercise in futility. Science has yet to find a way to manufacture water. If it could be done,the nation wouldn't be spending money to blow holes in the moon to see whether any water comes out. If California needs to stretch its supplies,it must stop wasting what it already can capture. And for that to happen, Cal-Fed must get to the really hard issues faster and let the differences among the specialists be hammered out in plain view rather than in courtrooms.

V/SA jta 'I ues ayay, A�414 MWD to Buy Water on Open Market ■Utilities: Agency changes course and plans to tap public and private sources.Decision is expected to help create competitive environment. By TONY PERRY, Timer Staff Writer n another sign of change roiling the water industry, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California appears ready to take the plunge into the free market as a buyer of water. ADVERTISEMENT Although it may be a long time before water stocks are as hot as Internet stocks or water futures are hawked with the fury of pork belly futures,Metropolitan is prepared to help hasten a "water market," with profits to be made by private sellers and i t t water flowing to the highest bidder. Metropolitan General Manager Ronald Gastelum has decided it is time the mega-agency cast its net to willing water sellers,public or private, wherever they may be. The goal is to ensure that the MWD can satisfy its future needs and fill the giant reservoir under construction in southern Riverside County. In a memo to board members released Monday, Gastelum said that while the MWD's short-term needs seem assured, it seems prudent to look for water deals. "We see a role for a water market," Gastelum said in an interview. He added that Metropolitan's decision "points in a clear direction. A market is going to happen." Gastelum said the MWD looks forward to "fair competition between willing sellers,both public and private"--precisely the kind of competition the agency viewed as an anathema until recently. The memo comes less than a week after the MWD and two agricultural water districts,the Imperial Irrigation District and the Coachella Valley Water District,reached an agreement on a list of issues and grievances that have prevented the three from working cooperatively,threatening the state's water supply. Part of the agreement deals with the buying and selling of water,with the implicit understanding that water transfers are the wave of the future. The agreement clears the way for the sale of up to 200,000 acre-feet of water from the Imperial Irrigation District to the San Diego County Water Authority,a member of Metropolitan. Imperial decided to sell to San Diego after overtures to sell to Metropolitan were rebuffed. Metropolitan,unhappy with the prospect of its aqueduct being used to bring the Imperial water to San Diego, branded the deal as profiteering by farmers. For several years,state and federal water officials, as well as key politicians,have insisted that the future of water allocation lies in water deals—called transfers—among various water districts and between water districts and private companies with water to sell. But the MWD,water wholesaler to 16 million people in six counties,has been reluctant to get involved in the haggling and complications of buying and selling water outside its historic framework. That reluctance has been significant because of the MWD's size and because it owns Southern California's major water conveyance facility,the 242-mile-long Colorado Aqueduct. The MWD's seeming lack of enthusiasm for water transfers has irritated key state legislators of both parties. Philosophically,the MWD's position has been that water should be treated as a public utility,not a bartered commodity. Now, Gastelum foresees Metropolitan signing option agreements that it could exercise in the event of"dry year" reductions in its allocation from the Colorado River and the State Water Project, which brings water to Southern California from the state's northern reaches. Metropolitan should not have trouble finding sellers. For example,two Indian tribes along the Colorado River,the Quechan and Chemehuevi,have expressed interest in selling part of their annual allocations to Metropolitan. And private firms like Northern California-based Western Water and Santa Monica-based Cadiz Inc., and others that are subsidiaries of European conglomerates,are poised to jump in. Western Water,Cadiz and La Jolla-based Vidler Water Co. have begun to buy property throughout the state that has water rights attached, waiting for a water market to be established. There are numerous agricultural irrigation districts and municipal water districts that might be tempted to sell water. Bill Craven,state director of the Sierra Club,said environmentalists do not oppose water deals as long as the environmental and so-called third-party effects are assessed. The latter can include job losses for farm workers in agricultural areas that decide to sell water to urban areas. "Water,by definition,is a public trust resource," Craven said. "Water is not like steel or other things that are sold to whoever has the money." Transfers are seen as increasingly important as California leams to live within its allocation from the Colorado River rather than asking each year for large quantities of surplus water from the river. Those surpluses may not be as readily available to California as other states that depend on the Colorado River, notably Nevada and Arizona,begin to demand their full allocations to meet growing needs. There are also uncertainties about allocations from the State Water Project,as state and federal officials try to balance the competing demands of agriculture, the environment and urban users. 1 3 Agencies Reach Truce on Colorado River Water Page 1 of 3 ews cc le n ex if �o FRONT PAGE HELPI Lose Interest in Your Mortgage. to refinance and save. Thursday,August 5, 1999 3 Agencies Reach Truce on Colorado River Water in Utilities: Facing U.S.ultimatum to fashion a pact or risk a supply cut,MWD and its two foes in Southern California overcome disputes dating to the 1930s. By TONYPERRY Times Staff Writer cuing aside years of acrimony and accusations,negotiators for Southern California's warring water agencies reached an agreement early Wednesday designed to ensure that the state will have enough water to meet soaring fuure needs. ADVERTISEMENT "We have reached closure on all core issues,"said David Hayes,acting deputy secretary of the U.S.Department of the Interior."We're very ••�^�'•• excited." .vtLt The agreement includes details on how water will be saved,stored, 2• APRHe bought and sold in an effort to gain concessions from the federal R;;� ,,a government and other Western states that also depend on the Colorado River as a major water source. NFor several years,Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt had threatened to reduce Southern California's supply from the Colorado unless the Califomia agencies could settle then differences.The pact could go a long way in influencing the discussions on federal rules governing how much surplus water will be available to Southern Califomia in future years. Negotiators for the state's three largest users of Colorado River water-- the Metropolitan Water District of Southern Califomia,the Imperial Irrigation District and the Coachella Valley Water District--agreed after marathon negotiations to settle grievances dating from the 1930s that had threatened to block California's attempt at developing a new water strategy. Facing an anticipated 37%increase in water demand in the next two decades,Southern California water officials are scrambling to increase water efficiency through conservation and also increase the reliability of its annual assured supply from the Colorado River. The Colorado supplies half to two-thirds of the water provided by Metropolitan to 16.5 million people in six counties. But long-standing enmities between powerful water agencies have proved a hindrance to California"speaking with one voice"in negotiations with the federal government and other Western states,said Thomas Hannigan,director of the California Department of Water Resources.The agreement reached early Wednesday in Los Angeles is aimed at providing that unified voice and decreasing the fear and suspicion California engenders in other states. The talks were mediated by Hayes and Hannigan,and as late as midnight,despite months of negotiations,the pair thought an agreement might be impossible.But there was a powerful motivation: Babbitt's oft- repeated threat to reduce the state's share of the Colorado River,which could wrench the state's economy.The Colorado is the major source of imported water to California. Under the tentative agreement,all three agencies will accept less water than they contend they are entitled to,pay more for infrsswcmre than they contend they should,and promise not to file legal complaints that their rivals are wasting water. By mutual agreement,details of the pact will not be released until the governing boards of the three longtime combatants take up the issue in the next week or so.But for all three agencies,negotiators were in close contact with board members. httpl/www.ladmes.wm/HOME/NEWSIFRONT/leadstory.html $15/99 3 Agencies Reach Trace on Colorado River Water Page 2 of 3 "California is in a period of change,caused by an em of limits in the way we acquire water,"said Phillip Paw,MWD board chairman."Today we , have come one step closer to facilitating positive change.This new ern compels California to live within its allocation of Colorado River water." Pressure to End Dispute The immediate goal is to permit the sale of water from the water rich but cash poor farmers of the Imperial Valley to the affluent but thirsty San Diego County Water Authority,an MWD member.The water will be delivered to San Diego through the Colorado Aqueduct,which is owned by the MWD. The longer-range,and more important,goal of the agreement is to show Elie federal government and the other six states that depend on the Colorado River that California can stop its intemecine feuding and learn to use its annual allocation of the river more frugally. "Because of this agreement,the goal of bringing California's take of the Colorado River under control is now more clearly in sight,"Babbitt said. If water officials in the six other states concur,the chances increase that the federal government will modify the rules that govern the Colorado River,Hoover Dam and the Lake Mead reservoir in ways that would be enormously beneficial to California. One way would be for the federal government to liberalize the definition of what constitutes a"surplus"that can be used by California beyond its allocation of 4.4 million acre-feet a year. Another would be to allow more water to be directed to California from Lake Mead.Currently,hundreds of thousands of acre-feet of water a year— enough for the needs of millions of people--simply evaporate because the seven states that are part ofthe Colorado River Compact cannot agree on how that water should be distributed. California has been using$00,000 acre-feet a year more than the 4.4 million,based on annual"surplus"decisions by Babbitt. But Babbitt's patience with California has grown thin and he has warned repeatedly that California had better learn to live within its allocation or face a cutback when,because of a lack of rainfall or a change in the political winds,it is determined thin the Colorado River has no surplus water in a given year. That warning loomed large as the negotiations drugged into the early morning Wednesday in a conference mom at the MWD headquarters in downtown Los Angeles.At 3 a.m.,an exhausted and bleary-eyed set of negotiators reached a compromise. "I think all the parties finally realized that California was going to pay a huge price and so were all the parties individually,"Hayes said."The next normal or dry year,California could literally be in a crisis situation." A year ago,after considerable arm-twisting by then-Gov.Pete Wilson, the Legislature appropriated$235 million to pave the way for the San Diego-Imperial water deal. The deal,the largest shift of agricultural water to urban use in the nation, is thought to be key to the stage's water future because it provides an alternative to the state's historic way of meeting growth needs:merely taking mom water from the Colorado. Under the deal,San Diego would buy up to 300,000 acre-feet of water a year from Imperial to meet growth.Farmers would use the money to install conservation devices on their land. But before the water deal could be consummated,a six-decade dispute between Imperial and Coachella had to be settled.Although not as well known as some other California water skirmishes,the Imperial-Coachella dispute runs as hot as the desert summer. In December,Babbitt announced proudly that a deal was at hand,but his optimism was short-lived when the MWD entered the fray and said that Babbitt was tilting toward the farmers and away from urban needs. In announcing Wednesday's agreement,Hayes and Hannigan praised the MWD for backing off from early hard-line positions. "Metropolitan has completely changed its colors,"Hayes said. "Their willingness to make it happen was the key." A Bitter Feud Dating to 1930s Whin makes water disputes so intractable is the tendency of all parties to believe that they have been aggrieved by history and generally httpl/www.latima.con/HOME/NEWS/FRONT/leadstory.html 815/99 3 Agencies Reach Truce on Colorado Rival Water Page 3 of 3 misunderstood. "I frankly didn'tthink we'd get to where we goL"Hannigan said. "At one time or another,each of the parties mid,'You can't must the others. We're on the side of the angels.Things should go our way or no way.'" The MWD—a water wholesaler to local agencies in Los Angeles, Orange,Vermin,San Bernardino,Riverside and San Diego counties—has resented and opposed the idea of member agency San Diego buying directly from Imperial. The MWD board has also called outmoded the 1931 agreement giving Imperial,Coachella and two other agricultural agencies 85%of the states Colorado River allocation.When the board suggested in January that Babbitt consider changing the formula,the reaction was so adverse from Coachella and Imperial that negotiations stalled for several months. Coachella believed it was tricked by the U.S.Department of Interior in 1934,and by Babbitt's predecessor Ray Lyman Wilbur,into taking a back seat to the Imperial Irrigation District in terms of divvying up the Colorado River.Coachella also contended that Imperial has no legal right to sell water to San Diego. Imperial,the nation's largest agricultural irrigation district,looks at the MWD and Coachella as newcomers to the Colorado River.Imperial,whose water rights date to 1895,was pulling water out of the river for three decades before the Colorado Aqueduct was built to bring water to coastal Southern California. Changing old attitudes,Hannigan said,is imperative if the state is to have"smarter approaches in the nett century"to meeting is water needs. Just how other Colorado River states view the agreement will not be known for some time.One sign will be their reaction to Babbitt's proposal, currently being discussed,to develop criteria for determining when the Colorado River has surplus water. Michael Pearce,general counsel of the Arizona Department of Water Resources,reacted cautiously.He noted that even with the agreement, California officials are saying that it will be 15 to 20 years before California can reduce is take to 4.4 million acre-feet. "That's kind of a free ride,"Pearce said. "That's difficult for the other states to accept.We'd like to see a more dedicated effort."

Water future has investors springing up Barriers to buying, selling in state could evaporate Michael Gardner COPLEY NEWS SERVICE 01-Aug-1999 Sunday SACRAMENTO— Investors from San Diego to Spain have started to move into California's water market, smelling profits as the state begins to eliminate historic barriers to buying and selling the precious commodity. The push, however, has been slowed by the Metropolitan Water District, a powerful public entity that has resisted giving private interests inexpensive access to its vast delivery system. For Southern California households, the outcome of the fierce fight between water-industry titans could mean cheaper and more plentiful water supplies, advocates of a competitive market say. A free water market has emerged as a key component of a new water policy being developed by the administrations of President Clinton and Gov. Gray Davis to foster growth, protect the environment and ease the pain of the next drought. Deals to buy and sell water, mostly fanner-to-farmer or city-to-city, are common.Water officials estimate that about 4 million acre feet— enough to fill Shasta Lake—have been privately sold over the past decade. What is relatively new is the emergence of private water brokers. Lured by speculation that water would become more valuable, a new generation of companies that view water as a commodity to be sold to the highest bidder has started buying land and brokering deals. Some are subsidiaries of international conglomerates based in Spain and France. These companies search for water primarily in Northern California,which 1 supplies two-thirds of the state's drinking water. The challenge is to move the supplies south at a price that allows them to undercut the water district's rates. Private companies must use the pumps and canals of the publicly owned State Water Project, as well as the metropolitan district's pipelines. The private operators complain the water district has set its prices to move the water exorbitantly high to thwart competition. 'This is an institutional attempt by bloated, unregulated monopolies to retain power and control," said Michael George, president of Western Water, an aggressive new marketer,which has an office in La Jolla. Water district officials say private companies should expect to pay delivery rates that reflect the billions of dollars ratepayers and taxpayers have spent to build and maintain the system. The water district's policy has been to charge private users a fee based on system-wide operating costs— not just the price of power and treatment. The district owns 775 miles of pipes and canals. "if this Is truly a free-market issue, public agencies should be protected from providing subsidies to private interests at the expense of ratepayers,"said the district's Aden Ortega. Less expensive water wont necessarily save users money, Ortega insisted. To recoup its costs, the water district has the option to bill those who receive water from private agencies, he said. The water district originally wanted to charge the San Diego County Water Authority$262 for every acre foot—326,000 gallons, or about as much as two average households use in a year—shipped from the Imperial Valley to San Diego. That's three times what the authority considered fair. Later, negotiations led to an agreement that eliminated any shipping fee. Western Water's George said the water district is demanding $288 an arse foot, plus treatment and administrative costs.A more reasonable price, he said,would be $65. The Water District charged $262 per acre foot to deliver discounted water to Orange County, said Bob Muir, a district spokesman. That$262 was once the automatic delivery fee for all temporary transfers using the district's canals. Now each fee is separately negotiated, Muir said. To circumvent the district's rates, private water companies enlisted the aid of state Sen. Steve Peace. The El Cajon Democrat introduced legislation to restrict the price wholesalers such as the metropolitan water district can charge for delivering privately contracted water. A compromise remains elusive despite months of talks. The district and its formidable array of lobbyists have fought Peace's legislation. In a counter move, Western Water hired Kahl/Pownell, one of the most powerful lobbying firms in the capital. At least five major private companies appear positioned to take advantage of an unbridled water market. Western Water is a publicly traded company. Its partners include the Spanish water giant, Aguas de Barcelona, which invested $10 million in Western Water. An Aguas de Barcelona representative also sits on Western 2 Water's board of directors. Western Water already has deals with smaller water districts in Southern California. It buys water from farmers and other sources. The fine also purchased a Glenn County farm for its water rights. Vidler Water Co., a La Jolla-based fine with a major presence in Arizona, plans to stare water underground in the San Joaquin Valley for later shipments. Cadiz Inc., a Santa Monica-based company with woridwide holdings, is developing water sources in San Bernardino County. Cadiz is headed by Keith Brackpool, one of Gray Davis'unofficial water advisers. USFilter and Azurix are two other fines expected to enter the California water market,water officials say. USFilter is known for its treatment innovations and ownership of Culligan, the water softener company. USFilter recently was acquired by the French utilities firm, Vivendi. Azurix, a subsidiary of energy giant Enron, is being managed by Woody Woodraska, a former Metropolitan Water District general manager. Efforts to expand water marketing opportunities are being closely watched by a variety of interests. Western Water's rivals, like Vidler Water Co., are allies in the push for lower access charges. Private marketers may not survive if they are at the mercy of"monopolies" like the Metropolitan Water District, said Marc Reisner, a consultant for Vidler. "It would be safer to open a Starbucks or doughnut franchise;said Reisner,who wrote"Cadillac Desert,"widely considered the definitive book on California water policy. In Northern California, sentiments are divided. Guaranteed cheap rates for private water supplies would just encourage speculators,warned John Mills, a consultant for rural counties. "Our fear is you will have a lot of agencies coming north with their checkbook and their water-witch wand,"Mills said. "We'll have the doors locked and the dogs loose." Sacramento Valley farmers have been cynical since Los Angeles turned the Owens Valley into a dust bowl decades ago. They worry about depleted ground-water supplies, fallowed land and the loss of revenues for businesses that depend on agriculture. Key environmentalists are allied with Western Water. They believe transfers offer a chance to wring more water out of agriculture and block dam construction. Tom Graff, an attorney with the Environmental Defense Fund, said cutting delivery costs would make supplies more plentiful and affordable for fish and wildlife.

The algae-eating fish is now the subject of a$105,000 study by the Orange County Water District to determine how many survive in the Santa Ana River. If the fish is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, the district might be required to pay to help its Orange County population recover. But Jim Van Haun, a consultant for the district on the study, said that is uncertain at the moment. Once the proposed listing is placed on the Federal Register sometime in the next two weeks, the Fish and Wildlife Service will perform studies and gather public comments. The agency will have up to a year to decide whether to list the fish. al newspaper in Oninge County,California "Reyi`sfpi=..

Based on the most recent calculations by the state Department of Water Resources (DWR), California could find itself 2.4 million acme feet short of its liquid gold in two decades—enough water to affect the needs of all the people in Los Angeles and San Diego combined.And that's the best rose scenario, based on normal rainfall patterns. In the event of a drought (it's a matter of when, not in, the projected shortage balloons to 6.2 million acre-feet—enough to affect the nimbi ned populations of Los Angeles,San Diego,San lose,San Frandsm, Long Beach, Fresno, Oakland, Sacramento, Santa Ana and Anaheim. Moving water from where it is to where it isn't is nothing new in semi-arid California. thanks to great feats of human engineering. But can the transferring of water expand with a little help from the free market? In the part, shortfalls in the state's water supply were addressedin a wry concrete manner—namely,findo river,dam It up and ship its water elsewhere via hundreds of miles of aqueducts.But those days are over.For one thing,there are few untopped rivers left and those remaining are well protected under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and by a vanguard of determinedenvironmentalists.Furthermore,doms havebecome downright cost-prohlbitive.Consider,forexample,the towering spillway on Shasta Dam, which was built on the Sacramento River during the New Deal for $120 million. In comparison, today's projected cost of the long-proposed Auburn Dam on the off erican Rim cuml stands at$1 billion-plus. By Noel Brinkerh So,if erecting a new data on the Klomoth or Eel rivers is no longer realistic option,what is the state planning to do to meet its future water supply needs without jeopardizing the environ- ment? The consensus among those trying to figure out this problem—namely the participants in the four-yearold CalFed process,a Big Pictumodented collection of government officials, environmentalists,dry water officials and farmers—is that no single solution will work by itself.Within the"tool box"of public policy choices that all parties lug around are efforts ranging from improved water conservation to building new reservoirs to expanding something known as water marketing. )b California Journal This latter approach of water marketing—the sale of longer the some.

The force of the water pushed furniture outdoors. Cars were afloat. Trees were uprooted. A fire station and 71 apartments and homes, including the 49 Hefley Square town homes next to the tank,were severely damaged. The mess at Hefley Street and Sioux Road led to a financial one: more than$3 million in damage. The city has already spent that much—for employee overtime, construction crews and the $600,000 in property claims it paid to some residents who have filed for repairs,destroyed furniture and compensation for lost wages. Six residents also have filed a lawsuit The city,however,had only set aside$500,000 in its budget for water improvement last year.Now it will yank funding from future projects to try to fill the gap. _ The city received$1.6 million from the Orange County Cities http://www.ocregister,com/commwiity/tankx2O2w.shW 7/23199 Risk Management Authority, but filed an$8 million lawsuit against the city's insurers,Lexington and Commonwealth insurance companies,alleging bad faith and breach of contract, after they refused to pay for the ruptured tank and more than 180 claims, including one brought by a fire captain injured in the flood. James Wraith,an attorney representing the insurers,has said the city's policies exclude losses caused by defective design, workmanship and construction. An engineering firm determined that the ruptured tank was not built according to design. The concrete wall panels collapsed because the base of the tank was not stable and reinforcing bars and steel strips were missing around the exterior of the base,the engineers' report said. A second similarly designed tank,also holding 5 million gallons of water, was drained as a precaution. On Wednesday,residents looked on as an excavator took its first big bite from the top left comer of the 22-foot gaping hole,while two workers sprayed water to keep the dust level down. Little by little,the machine chipped off concrete. As the tank began to crumble,a few residents clapped. One cried. Some people were angry the tank was demolished.Attorneys for the homeowners had tried to prevent it from being destroyed, saying it was necessary to preserve evidence of poor workmanship and lack of maintenance, but a judge denied the motion. "It's a painful memorial of what happened," said a weeping Jennifer Gormley,who is suing the city for property damage and pain and suffering. "I'd love to see this thing blown up, but it's got to be there for jurors to see what happened, for them to understand what we went through.They're ripping up our evidence and accountability." Residents still shop every weekend for items they've lost in the flood. Some are undergoing counseling. "This has totally occupied your life," said Dunn, who was able to move back into her home. Eleven families are still displaced. "We all had to move and remove. Closure isn't happening until all the residents move back in. It's a daily reminder seeing these places unfinished." Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Craig Campbell is thankful for a refurbished fire station. But more thankful to be alive. Campbell,39,of Trabuco Canyon,is constantly reminded of his close encounter with death.The view outside his window is a spot in a small park where he landed after the flood swept him out of the station and across the street. He was disoriented, with blood dripping from his arts and a barely attached finger. http://www.ocregister.com/community/tankx202w.shtml 723/99 "Every morning when 1 come to work,I relive that whole nightmare," said Campbell,a father of four children. "Still, the 7-year-old asks, 'Are you going to be OK when you go to workT " Campbell, a 19-year fire service veteran,filed a claim against the city—which has denied any wrongdoing—alleging public property was in dangerous condition. He said he was diagnosed with hepatitis C after his injuries. Campbell said the cuts on his arms and fingers had been exposed to dirty water. He finds out next week if he's beaten the virus. Workers on Wednesday took six hours to demolish the tank. It will take about three weeks for construction crews to clean up and level the site. The city has put a$35,000 deposit on a new$700,000 tank. The state is kicking in$400,000. The old tank was built before the homes were constructed. The new tank will go elsewhere. A site has not been selected. The city,which pumps 75 percent of its water from an underground aquifer and buys 25 percent,currently does not have a water-storage facility. 1 newspaper in mn9a My.California 1�e' gisf�ei'" Copyd9ta 1999 The Omnge County ReBlatx Please send comments to txmOsterdbllnk.heeddn.eom http://www.ocregister.com/community/mnkx202w.shbnl 7/23/99 Orange County Sanitation Districts Newspaper Clippings Name of Paper Section Page # Date Subject Orange County Register N 3 -7/2z/yq Cout1 Ct c1s��G 2a (21LC T ENVIRONMENT rector Garry Brown.

The Rhine Channel is a dead-end canal off the Pacific built in 1918. Once home to 38 shipbuilders and other businesses through World War II and the Korean War,it was identified as the leading toxic "hot spot"by the Santa Ana branch of the state Regional Water Quality Control Board last November. "There were no ndes then--nobody was doing anything illegal,they just threw everything in here," Brown said. "It's not a matter of whose fault it is, it's how do we clean it up." Brown estimated it would take$12 million to$14 million to dredge the canal and move the contaminated sediment to a hazardous-waste landfill.Joanne Schneider of the state water board said this solution and others are being studied. - While the Rhine Channel is the only definitely identified toxic hot spot in Orange County waters,there are several others identified as strong "candidates,"according to the water quality board. They include Anaheim Bay between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach,three sections of the National Wildlife Refuge in Seal Beach,Huntington Harbor,the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve,and Upper and Lower Newport Bays. Schneider stressed that in many cases the concerns are limited to small portions of these sites. "We do not necessarily mean to convey the area as a whole is a major toxic dump," she said. Thursday's kickoff was held at the Cannery Restaurant, , which is due to be razed for condominiums. "If I were paying $400,000 to 500,000 for a condominium with a boat docked out front,"Brown said, "I'd want to know it was safe for my grandkid to jump in the water."

"It's very protective of public COMMENTARY health." T.V.TIMES Mark Gold,executive director of Santa Monica-based Heal the Bay,predicted the public will see a sharp increase in the number of beaches that are flagged as contaminated--and be safer for it. "We are fortunate to have the strongest bathing water ADVERTISEMENT standards program in the nation," he said. In the past,health officials in coastal counties made their / own decisions about how to determine the safety of ocean waters. Some testedjust once a month at a few locations. vm 4 Others might sample only for one so-called "indicator" bacteria te�nw that proved to be an imprecise gauge of the health risk. , Under the regulations issued this week by the state office of administrative law,counties must take samples once a week at Looking beaches visited by at least 50,000 people a year. for u The regulations require sampling for a wider range of :,� organisms, including the ubiquitous coliform bacteria that has estlgrant ea previously been measured,but also enterococcus and fecal R r Scientists have determined that the presence of fecal coliforms and entemcoccus and the ratio of those organisms to others is a better indicator of human health risks than a simple test for colifonns,an organism found in a huge array of plants and animals. When any one of the bacteria reaches a certain level, signs must be posted warning ocean swimmers about the potential for illness,the regulations say. Each county will also be required to maintain a hotline to inform the public which beaches are contaminated or,in extreme cases,closed. About$1 million has been allocated by the state to help counties pay for increased ocean sampling. "This is the culmination of a multiyear effort to grant Californians the basic right to know the safety of the beaches they recreate at,whether in San Diego,Santa Barbara or Santa Cruz," said Assemblyman Howard Wayne(D-San Diego), who wrote the bathing water standard law. The measurements attempt to focus on swimming spots contaminated with human waste. State officials decided to make such pollution the focus of their ocean testing because of a 1996 health study in Santa Monica Bay. The study by a USC researcher surveyed thousands of ocean bathers and found that people swimming in water near storm drains polluted with human waste were almost 50%more likely to get colds,sore throats,diarrhea and other illnesses than those who swim in cleaner water. Scientists have since spent considerable time attempting to track down the source of viruses associated with human waste. But public health officials agree that bathers can swim safely if they simply avoid the relatively small areas contaminated by storm drain runoff. Most Orange County beaches get top ratings for water quality,but a number of critical places,particularly off Seal Beach,have high levels of bacteria. Pollution generated by fierce El Nifto storms prompted officials to close Orange County beaches more than 40 times in 1998,marking the worst year for coastal water quality in more than a decade.

Others say negotiation is better. By RICHARD WINTON.Special to The Times ore than a decade after the discovery of dangerous chemicals in the ground water of the San Gabriel Valley, the chairman of a state legislative select committee declared Wednesday that residents are fed up with the ADVERTISEMENT government's failure to remedy the problem. •• Assemblyman Thomas Calderon (D-Montebello)said ,,, visa residents are tired of paying higher bills to have their water 2.9 Click cleaned or imported while those responsible for the pollution '""""°R ""` have yet to pony up. w.eum,°s,..,vl..• "We don't have time to wait anymore,' he said. "There hasn't been any significant cleanup." • - - Calderon's tongue-lashing came during a special hearing of !I!N his Assembly Select Committee on San Gabriel Valley Groundwater Contamination held at South El Monte City Hall. The lawmaker castigated government officials and local executives for allowing the amount of pollution and its anticipated cleanup costs to grow. In 1984,the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency declared the massive aquifer underneath the San Gabriel Valley to be a Superfund site because testing showed high levels of volatile organic compounds in some of the water. The agency later declared that 19 companies were responsible for the contaminants found below the Azusa- Baldwin Park-Irwindale area. Among the firms were Aerojet General Corp. and Huffy Co. Cleanup of the aquifer,along with other nearby sites,is expected to cost$320 million over 30 years. Calderon on Wednesday accused the EPA and the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority of not aggressively pursuing polluters through litigation,as has been done at other Superfund sites. "Not a single polluter has been sued," the lawmaker said. He added that a timely lawsuit would have revealed much sooner that a toxic rocket fuel used by Azusa-based Aerojet General had seeped into the aquifer. It was that discovery, in 1997,that derailed an agreement among the companies to build a conventional water treatment plant to remove volatile chemicals from the aquifer. The plan was scrapped because Perchlorate,the chemical in the rocket fuel,cannot be removed through traditional treatment. Officials from the EPA and the water quality authority Wednesday defended their decision not to file suit,arguing that it was more cost-effective to work cooperatively with the companies.They said it was better for the firms to spend their money on cleanup than on lawyers. "We want mitigation, not litigation,"Margaret Clark, chairwoman of the authority,told the committee. Clark and others also said some progress is being made on the cleanup.They said the polluters,cities and water producers across the valley have set aside more than$30 million to address the pollution problem. They also testified that construction began last month on a La Puente treatment plant that would be the first ever able to extract Perchlorate,a chemical that can interfere with the functioning of the thyroid gland. But that plan would only treat a small targeted area,and disagreement still exists over what to do about the water pollution throughout the valley. Wayne Praskins,Superfund cleanup manager for the Western region of the EPA,told the committee that cleanup proposals submitted earlier this month by polluters fall short of addressing all the problems in the aquifer. The agency may override the plans,order a more comprehensive cleanup and then sue the firms to recover the costs,he said. However,Aerojet spokesman Don Vanderkar urged government officials to seek a mutual solution with the companies. "The only solution to the ground water problem is cooperation," he said. "We're very close to an agreement." Vanderkar said that Aerojet knew Perchlorate was present at a similar defense plant in Sacramento County in the early 1990s but that only recently did state health officials say it posed a risk. He also said research showed that Aerojet was not the only source of the chemical in the San Gabriel Valley. EPA officials have stressed that no drinking water is being drawn from contaminated wells and that all water supplied to customers meets federal standards. But to make sure,water firms are spending more money to import water or maintain expensive well-head treatmenL "That's meant a 3% [cost] increase for our customers," said James Gallagher of Southern California Water Co. The company spent$3 million defending itself from lawsuits by residents who alleged that the pollution harmed their health. Water officials all agreed Wednesday that they must stop the ground water contamination spreading from the San Gabriel Valley into the central basin that serves Greater Los Angeles. .I COP Yi Pht 1999 Los Angeles Tunes.All Rights Reserved O Search the archives of the Los Angeles Tunes for similar stories about: WATER POLLUTION—LOS ANGELES COUNTY SAN GABRIEL VALLEY,THOMAS CALDERON LIABILITY,INDUSTRIAL EMISSIONS,HAZARDOUS MATERIALS—DISPOSAL.SUPERFUND BUSINESS.You will not be charged to look for stories,only to retrieve one. ews _., co ie n ex iF co • 1l S A SECTION HELP Lose Interest in Your Mortgage. to refinance and save.

ADVERTISEMENT The rules take effect nearly two years after the Legislature approved the plan that provides counties with uniform rules for „ vrsn. measuring ocean water quality. 2.9 Crkk Environmentalists praised the long-delayed approval of the "°R ""` regulations, sa in beach oers will be able to make more Herisaying B . , informed decisions about when the ocean is too polluted for swimmiR *h We are fortunate to have the strongest bathing water standards program in the nation," said Mark Gold,executive director of Santa Monica-based Heal the Bay. Gold predicted that "you are going to see a hell of a lot more beaches posted now because of poor water quality. . . . The public will be able to see these signs and make the right decisions about what to do." In the past,health officials in coastal counties made their own decisions about how to determine the safety of ocean waters. Some tested just once a month at a few locations. Others might sample only for one so-called "indicator" bacteria that proved to be an imprecise gauge of the health risk. Under the regulations issued this week by the state office of administrative law,counties must take samples once a week at beaches visited by at least 50,000 people a year. The regulations require sampling for a wider range of organisms,including the ubiquitous coliform bacteria that has previously been measured,but also enterococcus and fecal coliforms. Scientists have determined that the presence of fecal coliforms and enterococcus and the ratio of those organisms to others is a better indicator of human health risks than a simple test for coliforms,an organism found in a huge army of plants and animals. When any one of the bacteria reaches a certain level, signs must be posted warning ocean swimmers about the potential for illness,the regulations say. Each county will also be required to maintain a hotline to inform the public which beaches are contaminated or,in extreme cases,closed. About$1 million has been allocated by the state to help counties pay for increased ocean sampling. , "This is the culmination of a multiyear effort to great Californians the basic right to know the safety of the beaches they recreate at,whether in San Diego, Santa Barbara or Santa Cruz," said Assemblyman Howard Wayne(D-San Diego),who wrote the bathing water standard law. The measurements attempt to focus on swimming spots contaminated with human waste. State officials decided to make such pollution the focus of their ocean testing because of a 1996 health study in Santa Monica Bay. The study by a USC researcher surveyed thousands of ocean bathers and found that people swimming in water near storm drains polluted with human waste were almost 50%more likely to get colds, sore throats,diarrhea and other illnesses than those who swim in cleaner water. Scientists have since spent considerable time attempting to track down the source of viruses associated with human waste. But public health officials agree that bathers can swim safely if they simply avoid the relatively small areas contaminated by storm drain runoff. Los Angeles County health officials said the new regulations will not force them to increase sampling,but they do expect to post more beaches as contaminated. Beaches inside harbors--such as Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro,Avalon Beach on Catalina Island and Mother's Beach in Marina del Rey—have been particularly plagued by high bacteria counts. County health officials said they suspect those high readings are caused by the large number of birds that congregate at those beaches. Although research has not yet confirmed a connection between bird waste and human illness,those beaches will be posted as a precaution,said lack Petralia,director of environmental protection for Los Angeles County. Avalon Mayor Hugh T. "Bud" Smith said "we are all concerned" about the possibility that health warnings would be posted near the main pier in Avalon Bay. He said the resort town has already taken a number of steps to deter birds from landing on the pier and to divert storm drain flows away from the harbor. "That's our bread and butter over here,the beaches," said Smith,who noted that the occasionally contaminated area is not near the main swimming beach. "We do everything we can to keep the beaches clean and to keep our bay clean." Petralia said his office will try to develop a sign that acknowledges the pollution without closing beaches entirely. Petralia suggested the signs might say: "Wanting: Bacterial counts exceed health standards." In many cases,the public can move as little as 100 yards to other stretches of shoreline that are not contaminated,said Gold, who is an environmental scientist- At San Pedro's Cabrillo Beach, for instance,bathers can choose between one of the most polluted swimming areas in Southern California and one that is typically much cleaner. The cleaner water is along the ocean front at Cabrillo,while the polluted water is in the calmer,protected area inside the Port of • Los Angeles breakwater. Officials in Orange and San Diego counties previously said they were concerned that the new regulations might lead to excessive warnings about ocean pollution. But they praised the regulations Wednesday. "The tests give us some good,real-time information now and we can keep the public better informed," said Larry Honeyboume,chief of the Water Quality Section of the Orange County Health Care Agency. "It's very protective of public health." The county increased its ocean sampling in March,in anticipation of the new regulations. The new standards for posting warnings went into effect this week and two small beaches inside Newport Harbor were marked Wednesday with warnings about high bacteria levels. Storm drains release at both beaches, on 38th and 43rd streets. A San Diego official said Wednesday that the county is prepared to increase from monthly to weekly sampling and to increase the number of testing sites substantially.

During this period, when public endorsement and support was vital to our project development effort, the CEC provided their seal of approval along with financial incentives to our research consortium. We thank you for this vote of confidence in our project. As you are aware, southern California relies heavily for its water supply on import water from the Colorado River, the eastern Sierra and the California Slate Water Project. Water imported from the eastern Sierras is being reduced for environmental reasons. Water deliveries from the Colorado River will also be reduced as other states begin to take their full entitlement. No Increases in deliveries from northern California are expected for many years, and yet southern California's population is continuing to grow. New water sources are needed. Because of your support over the past two years, our project researchers were successful in demonstrating the cost effectiveness and energy savings achievable with innovative technologies such as the advanced microporous membranes and the pulsed UV radiation on a commercial scale. These technologies can and will replace conventional energy inefficient chemical treatment processes that produce environmentally damaging sludges and by-products. We believe that these innovative technologies are not only beneficial to the success of the GWR System, but will also provide other southland municipalities with the impetus and confidence to proceed with their water reclamation projects.

Wednesday, u y 14, 1999 MWD Adopts Massive Plan to Reorganize By DOUGLAS P.SHUIT; Times StafWraer toushed by outside critics and embarrassed by at least $220 million in cost overruns for their high-profile reservoir project, directors of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Tuesday approved the most ADVERTISEMENT massive reorganization in the agency's 71-year history. Without a dissenting vote,the directors decided to give new General Manager Ronald R. Gastelum broad authority to appoint new managers,transfer others and reorganize the agency from top to bottom. The action by the wholesale provider of water to municipal and private water agencies in Southern California could have a far- reaching effect on the price,quality and availability of water to two-thirds of the states population. The shake-up is the most compelling evidence yet that public water agencies are bracing for the same sort of deregulation that has turned California's electric utility industry upside down in the last few years,resulting in layoffs,mergers and lower rates to consumers.Admittedly getting a late start,the MWD hopes to shore up its finances and position itself for what is expected to be a more competitive environment for water utilities in the next century. Seeking to transform the powerful water wholesaler into a leaner entrepreneurial agency, Gastelum hopes to save$100 million over the next several years with broad structural changes, such as collapsing the ranks of middle management and trimming the budget.He canceled plans to purchase eight compact cars this year. With the reorganization, "The public will have more confidence that this organization is doing what it needs to do to be more cost-effective," said Gastelum,who replaced John R. Wodraska,the general manager who resigned in October. "If we are able to achieve the cost savings that we are projecting, it will provide rate relief--perhaps not rate decreases,but certainly it will minimize rate increases that otherwise might have occurred," said Gastelum, a former waste industry executive who took over the MWD in March. The MWD provides about 60%of the water used by nearly 16 million people in six Southern California counties from Ventura to San Diego. Strong criticism from lawmakers in Sacramento helped drive the reorganization. Several hearings were held by a state Senate oversight committee into cost overruns at the Eastside Reservoir project near Hemet, shining a spotlight on MWD management practices that even agency insiders say were badly out of date. /findcgi?action=View&VdkVgwKey-0/o2E%o2E%2F%2E%2E%2Fvol7%2FCNS%5FDAYS%7/15/99 Gastelum called past management practices "hierarchical" and likened the MWD's system of independently operating departments to "silos," saying in a written summary of the reorganization plan that past practices created "turf battles" and led to "inefficient and less productive" operations. "Metropolitan is like a tree," said Adan Ortega,the acting chief of communications who was handpicked by Gastelum,along with Joseph Tait,the new assistant general manager,to carry out the reorganization. "During wet years,you get real thick growth rings. In dry years,you get small rings,but the tree always grows bigger,and that is how management has grown here." Ortega said the reorganization will remove about seven layers of division chiefs and their assistants.No numbers were given on how many employees might be affected. - As if they needed a reminder of their financial problems, MWD directors Tuesday approved a$115-million budget augmentation for the$2-billion Eastside Reservoir. An outside audit showed that the project is at least S220 million over budget,with the possibility that overruns could reach$500 million. Looming issues such as bitterly contested negotiations with other water agencies over a split of Colorado River water and potentially costly demands by private water companies that they be allowed to use MWD pipelines to sell water directly to Southern California cities are not directly addressed in the reorganization plan.Nor does the plan satisfy those who long have criticized the 51-member board of directors as unwieldy and too removed from public accountability. Still, critics are generally supportive,citing confidence in Gastelum rather than any specific initiative in his plan. State Sen. David Kelley (R-Idyllwild),a sometimes acid- tongued critic who heads a special legislative oversight committee created to monitor Southern California water districts,praised Gastelum for taking a more moderate approach to negotiations over Colorado River water distribution. "I think you will see we are going to be able to work with them in a more compatible fashion,"Kelley said. "He has got to bring the agency in line. The basic economy of the state relies on the service they provide by bringing water into Southern California." Bob Cole,head of the Long Beach Water Department, said his city underwent a similar retrenchment about three years ago. "All of us see that the same kind of changes that led to deregulation of the electrical industry are coming to water," Cole said. "We are heading into a period of major change." Representatives of employee organizations at the MWD generally took a reserved position of the reorganization plan, saying they wanted to withhold judgment until they see how the shake-up is implemented. �ICoovri¢ht 1999 Los Angeles Times.All Rights Reserved O Search the archives of the Los Angeles Times for similar stories about: METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING UTILITIES WATER DISTRICTS GOVERNMENT /f ndcgi?action=View&VdkVgwKey=a/o2E%2E%2F%2E%2E%2Fvol7%2FCNS%5FDAYS%7/15/99 McIntyre, Donald From: Miles, Patrick Sent: Thursday,July 22, 1999 9:33 AM To: Y21K Steering Committee Cc: EMT; Information Technology Subject: Clinton signs Y2K act into law Clinton signs Y2K act into law ComputerWodd-July 21, 1999 By Patrick Thibodeau Calling It"extraordinary and time-limited legislation,"President Clinton yesterday signed Y2K liability-limiting legislation.

"Finns whose productivity is central to our economy could be distracted by the defense of unwarranted lawsuits." The new law sets a 90day cooling-off period before litigation can commence. It also limits,with some exceptions,a company's damages for its actual responsibility— preventing plaintiffs from seeking damages from the company with the most money.

This :. Issue will again be likely more controversial than last year. A history of this A&E contracting out Is presented below. In 1998.`Professional Engineers in California Governmental (PECG) sponsored ballot Initiative Proposition 226 that could have prohibited governmental agencies from contracting out to A&E services to private firms. PEC , a state union composed mostly of non-degreed employees, was to establish a monopoly to work on state highways. However, the Proposition 226 was written so broadly that virtually every project that required a state permit could be claimed as a state project to be performed by state employees only. Consulting Engineers and land Surveyors of California (CELSOC) led a broad coalition, including ASCE. that was successful in defeating Proposition 226. However, recent California court decisions have essentially instituted many of the restrictions contained in Proposition 226. CELSOC Is now gathering signatures for a ballot initiative to allow, but not require, governmental agencies to hire private firms for A&E services. ASCE OC Branch has not yet taken a position regarding this Issue. I think that we should all support the proposed ballot Initiative because it makes good public policy. It Is impractical for many, if not most, governmental agencies to maintain a staff of competent engineers to handle all of the specialties in civil engineering that it takes to make our highly technical and sophisticated society to work efficiently. It Is much more practical and efficient to be able to hire, on a temporary basis, specialists to complete a specific project. Contracting for specialty services is the trend in many businesses today. Also, any organization. whether public or private, without competition will tend to become stagnant, unproductive. bureaucratic, and unresponsive to their clients because the clients must use their services regardless of price or service. Many in ASCE say that we should not get involved in politics. I could not more strongly disagree. Because engineers and ASCE has decided to remain clear of political decisions in the past. civil engineers have been V— Continued on pageff f p�a0�ow4°a ail©aao�o Continued from page 1 relegated in many fields to technical gnomes away from the decision making process. Unless civil engineers get involved with the political process,we will see our input to engineering decisions erode to the point where we will be reduced to technicians performing mathematics and following the directions of others. If you have any comments, please contact me with your opinion. Your OC Branch will be taking a position on the proposed contracting out for A& E services shortly.

The three major tasks are securing funding, manure management and dairy washwater. No specific funding has been identified at this time, though attempts are underway to earmark funds from Washington. A strategy document has been released for comments on manure management. This will be the basis for policy decisions on what to do with the manure. A project team has been formed to look at the dairy washwater problem. The regulatory climate is changing on this issue and the dairies recognize that something must be done. There are 275 dairies in the watershed with 340,000 cows. Mr. Ghirelli also provided an update on the beach closure between Newland and Magnolia. It is still in effect. Four line breaks in a lateral from a restroom have been found and are being repaired, but some high counts are still being found during monitoring. It has been determined that the source is not the District. Staff continues to work with State Park, city of Huntington Beach and OC Health Care Agency personnel to correct the problem. Before the beach can be reopened the source must be identified and corrected and the surfzone counts must return to normal and stay at normal for a couple of weeks. B. Dave Ludwin described the status of the Engineering Department's Temporary Staffing Program necessary to complete the CIP program scheduled in the next 4-6 years. Board approval was received to hire temporary staff to assist during this period. Six contracts have been awarded to firms that provide temporary technical employees.

Historical cost and the current market ("mark-to-market") values are shown as estimated by both PIMCO and Mellon Trust. The slight differences are caused by differing assumptions regarding marketability at the estimate date. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY None.

AGENDA REPORT Item Number 1O jN Orange County Sanitation District FROM: Robert P. Ghirelli, D.Env., Director of Technical Services Robert J. Ooten, Director of Operations Originator: Layne Baroldi, Sr. Regulatory Specialist SUBJECT: BIOSOLIDS MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AMENDMENTS GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve Amendment No. 5 to Agreement for Removal and Disposal/Reuse of Districts Residual Solids with Pima Gro Systems, Inc., extending the contract term from 04/01/00 to D6/30/00 with two additional one-year extensions and increasing the costs per ton of biosolids managed from $21.92 to $25.90 for fair weather management, and $33.70 for inclement weather management for an annual amount not to exceed $1,993,000; and, 2. Approve Amendment No. 3 to Agreement for Removal and Disposal/Reuse of Districts Residual Solids with the Bio Gro division of Wheelabrator Water Technologies, Inc., extending the contract term from 04/26/00 to 06/30/02 and increasing the costs per ton of biosolids managed from $21.45 to $25.45 for fair weather management and from $29.00 to$36.00 for inclement weather management, for an annual amount not to exceed $1,775,000; and, 3. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement for Management of Biosolids with Tule Ranch/Magan Farms, extending the contract tens from 12/02/01 to 06/30/04 and increasing the costs per ton of biosolids managed from $22.40 to $25.00, for fair weather management and $28.00 for inclement weather management for an annual amount not to exceed $1,371,000. SUMMARY The Sanitation District has agreements with three biosolids management contractors to manage approximately 195,000 tons of biosolids produced annually at our two wastewater treatment plants. These proposed amendments to our biosolids removal and disposal/reuse agreements will increase our annual cost from approximately $4,291,000 per year to $4,998,000 per year, an increase of 16%. The proposed amendments to the District's biosolids management contracts are a result of regulatory developments and management costs that were unforeseeable at the time of entering the existing biosolids management contracts. The legal, consulting, permitting, monitoring, and additional labor costs related to these changes have dramatically increased our contractor's costs. As a result of these regulatory developments, the contractors have made investments in vastly improved field operating and technical services crews, substantial capital costs in new equipment, and additional operating costs in association with site plans and application rate control procedures. Page 1 Increases in gasoline and diesel prices have also resulted in increased transportation and application costs. These expenses have prompted our contractors to request the contract amendments. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY The biosolids hauling costs under the existing and the proposed amended contracts for each of the vendors are summarized below. Current Cost($/Ton) Cost per Proposed Annual Cost Per Proposed Amendment $/Ton Amendment' Fair Inclement Fair Inclement Vendor Weather I Weather Weather Weather Best Case' Worst Case' Pima Gro $21.92 N/A $25.90 $33.70 $ 1,926,000 $ 1,993,000 Bio Gro $21.45 N/A $25.45 $32.50 $ 1,720,000 $ 1,775,000 Tule Ranch $22.40 N/A $25.00 $28.00 $ 1.352,000 $ 1,371,000 Total $4,998,000 $5,139,000 The amount budgeted for biosolids removal in the FY '99200 budget is$4,293,500. No budget amendments are being proposed at this time. Any budget deficit is expected to be covered by unexpended budget in the Joint Operating Fund. Also, load allocations are expected to vary due to factors including inclement weather, material management issues and regulatory developments. In future, there may be a need to adjust the contractual total amounts amongst the three contractors or any other contractor/s that may be added later. BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. (Line Item #86 Joint Operating Fund budget) ® This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The District currently contracts with three biosolids management contractors (Pima Gro, Bio Gro, and Tulle Ranch) to land apply biosolids in Kings, Kem, Riverside, and San Diego counties. The District issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for biosolids management in August 1996. As a result of the RFP the District amended the existing Pima Gro and Bio Gro contracts and added Tule Ranch as a biosolids management contractor. Prior to the 1996 RFP, the District's biosolids management cost was -$27.00 per wet ton. As a result of the RFP the District's biosolids management cost was reduced to -$21.25 per ton, a savings of-$1,000,000 per year for the last three years. At the time these new contracts were entered there existed a surplus of permitted ' Based upon the following loads per week schedule: Pima Gro-50,Bio Gro-50 and Tule Ranch-40 'Assuming no use of contractors wet weather sites 3 Assuming six weeks use of each contractors wet weather sites Page 2 land for biosolids land application in the region and several biosolids management companies competing for the material. With the surplus land permitted for Class B biosolids and biosolids management contractors the District decided to not include a guaranteed minimum or maximum amount of biosolids to be managed by the contractors. By not including a guarantee, the District has had the flexibility to adjust the load allocation to the various contractors as needed to respond to inclement weather, material management concerns, and local regulatory developments. Due to the nature of the contract not guaranteeing a minimum amount of loads, a contractor is only obligated to provide limited service at the existing management rates. This limited service at existing contract rates may not provide the District with adequate biosolids management capacities due to regulatory developments and the significant decrease in land permitted for Class B biosolids land application. A majority of the approximately 195,000 tons of biosolids that the District produces have been land applied in Kern County over the past several years. Land application is the biosolids management option provided by all three of the District's contractors. The District is fortunate that it contracts with both of the contractors that operate in Riverside County (Pima Gro and Bio Gro), and one of the two contractors that operates in Kings County (Yule Ranch), and the only contractor that operates in San Diego County (Bio Gro). Kenn County The major development that caused the recent increase in biosolids management costs was the adoption of an interim Kern County ordinance. The interim Kern County ordinance has resulted in new costs associated with annual permit fees, sampling and analysis, inspection fees, vehicle license fees, and legal and consulting costs. The contractors have also made investments in vastly improved field operating and technical services crews; substantial capital costs in new equipment and additional operating costs in association with site plans and application rate control procedures. Increases in gasoline and diesel prices have also resulted in increased transportation and application costs. The most drastic impact interim Kenn County ordinance has been its reduction in the amount of permitted land in Kern County from approximately 52,000 acres to approximately 20,000 acres for all southern California POTWs to utilize. Kenn County released the final draft version of its ordinance on May 13, 1999. The final draft ordinance allows for the continued land application of Class B biosolids on the reduced amount of acres for three years, albeit under extremely onerous and expensive regulatory requirements. At the end of three years, the final draft ordinance will ban the land application of Class B biosolids in Kern County. Kern County staff is in the process of preparing an initial study to determine the level of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review necessary for the final draft ordinance. Their decision on the level of review required should be made this month. Kern County staff has indicated that they will perform a mitigated negative declaration. Such a decision by Kem County is expected to be challenged. Certification of the mitigated negative declaration is expected to be made by the Kern County Board of Supervisors at their October 1999 meeting. The final Ordinance is scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2000. Page 3 The District's staff and legal counsel have submitted comments strongly recommending . that Kern County must prepare an environmental impact report due to the significant environmental effects of the proposed ban. These comments were supported by volumes of documents supporting the land application of Class B biosolids. It was also recommended that Kern County defer its CEQA review pending the findings of the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) statewide biosolids EIR. Riverside, Kings, and San Diego Counties In response to the District's concerns over the long-term viability of Kern County, a majority of the District's biosolids has been diverted to Riverside County. Riverside County has adopted a reasonable ordinance that allows for the land application of Class B biosolids. Operations in Riverside County are not exempt from additional management costs. As with many counties in California, regulatory agencies in Riverside County have recently Increased in their scrutiny on biosolids land application operations. This scrutiny has resulted in the contractors being required to increase their biosolids management activities. These activities include additional disking, dust suppression, and even biosolids injection at some sites. Contractors commonly have to utilize much smaller fields in Riverside, thus increasing equipment mobilization costs. The District is fortunate that it contracts with both of the contractors that operate in Riverside County (Pima Gro and Bio Gro). Permitted acreage is limited in Riverside County, estimated to be less than 20,000 acres. Numerous municipalities are searching for management options as a result of the decrease in permitted acreage. Staff believes it is important to reserve capacity in Riverside County. Tule Ranch provides the District with access to approximately 1,800 acres of Class B permitted land in Kings County and Bio Gro provides the District with access to approximately 3,000 acres of Class B permitted land in San Diego County. Kings County is in the process of developing what is anticipated to be a reasonable ordinance and the San Diego Regional Board reasonably regulates biosolids land application sites in San Diego. Summary With this ever-changing regulatory framework affecting biosolids management, long- range planning continues to be a challenge for the District and our biosolids management contractors. The SWRCB has taken the lead in developing a general order for the land application of biosolids. Unfortunately this proposed rule does not preempt the development of local or county biosolids regulations. A number of counties have developed their own ordinances related to biosolids management. These range from those that incorporate federal standards (Part 503) and impose few additional siting requirements (e.g., Riverside County), to ones that allow only Class A biosolids (e.g., Tulare County), to bans on applications in unincorporated areas (e.g., the proposed final Kern County Ordinance), to complete bans (e.g., San Joaquin County). Issuing a new RFP for Class B biosolids land application and entering into new contracts may result in higher costs to the District. Recent RFPs for the City of Los Angeles and the City of San Diego have resulted in only two responses to each city at a cost of approximately $28.50 and $31.00 per ton respectively. In order to diversify the District's biosolids management program staff is in the process of developing a RFP for Page 4 alternative methods of biosolids management. Reasonable alternative biosolids management technology may take two to three years to develop, site, permit and construct. Acreage in Riverside, Kings, and San Diego counties permitted for Class B biosolids land application is limited. It is in the District's best interest to reserve capacity in these counties to ensure the reliability of our biosolids management program. In order to address increased costs and reserve capacity in these counties, staff recommends the above mentioned amendments effective 9/1/99. ALTERNATIVES Due to the nature of the contract not guaranteeing a minimum amount of loads to a contractor a "no action" alternative would result in the contractors providing limited service at the existing management rates. Limited service may result in biosolids management under existing contracts not meeting production needs.

N, AND O AT PLANT NO. 2, JOB NO. P2-39 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION (1)Approve the plans and specifications for Rehabilitation of Digesters I, J, K, L, M, N, and O at Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-39, on file at the offices of the Board Secretary; (2) Receive and file Addenda Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4; (3) Receive and file bid tabulation and recommendation; and (4) Award a contract to Margate Construction, Inc. for Job No. P2-39, providing for rehabilitation of seven digesters at Plant No. 2 for a total amount not to exceed $9,647,600. SUMMARY This project is for the rehabilitation of seven existing digesters at Plant No. 2. The work includes digester cleaning, and upgrades to mechanical, structural, electrical, and instrumentation systems at these digesters. The plans and specifications for Rehabilitation of Digesters I, J, K, L, M, N, and O at Plant No. 2, Job No. 132-39, were completed in June 1999. The design was performed by Lee & Ro, Inc. The engineer's estimate is $15,000,000. On July 27, 1999, nine bids were received ranging from $11,545,438, to the low bid of$9,647,600, submitted by Margate Construction, Inc. The Director of Engineering recommends award of the contract to Margate Construction, Inc. Construction completion is scheduled for September 2001. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY See attached Budget Information Table BUDGETIMPACT ® This item has been budgeted. (Section 6, Page 65) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) Page 1 . f ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In December 1993. the Directors awarded a Professional Services Agreement to Lee & Ro, Inc. for the design of miscellaneous improvements at Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2. The miscellaneous tasks were identified by District staff to improve operations, reliability, plant efficiency, and health and safety. This project, Job No. 132-39, is the last of many construction projects issued under this large design project. Staff is requesting the award of a construction contract for the project titled Rehabilitation of Digesters I, J. K, L, M, N, and O at Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-39. The project will provide: • Digester cleaning • Internal liners and external insulation • New pumping and piping systems • Structural upgrades • New handrail • New digester area lighting • Four new motor control centers • Electrical upgrades to bring digester electrical rooms into compliance with current codes for fire protection in wastewater treatment facilities • Automation for thirteen digesters • Expansion of the fiber optic network between the digesters On July 27, 1999, nine bids were received. The base bid values range from $11,545,438, to the low bid of$9,647,600, submitted by Margate Construction, Inc. The Bidders were required to submit their proposals with abase bid"for five items of equipment specified: sludge grinders, plug valves, axial flow pumps, chopper pumps, and transfer pumps. The bidders could propose alternative equipment to the base bid items along with an additive or deductive amount to the base bid. See the attached Bid Summary Table for the itemized based bid and deductive amounts for all bids. Margate Construction, Inc. submitted the low bid of$9,647,600 as their base bid. Margate Construction, Inc. proposed three alternates to their base bid: 1. Franklin Miller sludge grinders were proposed as an alternative to DWS Muffin Monster sludge grinders. A deduction of$13,146 would apply if accepted as equal. The District will not accept this altemalive as equal. Franklin Miller sludge grinders are currently installed at some of the digesters. The District Maintenance staff reports a rebuild frequency for Franklin Miller sludge grinders of two to three times a year. The cost of each rebuild is approximately $6,000. This repair frequency compares poorly to every three to four years for the specified grinder by DWS. The rebuild cost for the DWS Page 2 grinder is approximately$5,000. The DWS sludge grinder also produces a better product improving sludge digestion and handling. 2. Clow plug valves were proposed as an alternative to Dezurik plug valves. A deduction of$527,318 would apply if accepted as equal. Although the District has tried to standardize on the very reliable Dezurik plug valve, consideration will be given to the Clow valve. The Clow and Dezurik valves appear equal as to materials of construction. The District will evaluate the Clow plug valve. Per the specifications, consideration will be given to: • The total life cycle cost • The ability of the supplier or manufacturer to provide satisfactory components of their own manufacture • The length of time the equipment offered has been in successful, regular operation under comparable conditions • The efficiency of the equipment's operation • The ability of the supplier or manufacturer to service and maintain the equipment 3. Vaughn chopper pumps were proposed as an alternative to Goulds axial flow pumps with a deduction of$90,758. Over the past year, Operations and Maintenance staff have been testing the Vaughan chopper pumps in digester service. When the testing started, the design for this digester rehabilitation project was near completion. The District proceeded with the design using axial flow pumps to avoid a design change to the consultant near the end of the project. Margate Construction, Inc. has now proposed a deduction to install this pump. The bidder is responsible for the associated cost of design changes. The Vaughan chopper pump has proven successful for digester mixing during the past year of testing in a permanent installation. Another portable Vaughan chopper pump in use for digester service has not performed as reliably. District staff wishes to investigate the failures of the portable pump prior to accepting the Vaughan chopper pump as an alternative to the axial flow pumps. Eight pumps were specified as axial flow pumps. Margate Construction, Inc. submitted the lowest"base bid"of$9,647,600. With the above mentioned alternates to three items of base bid equipment, their"alternate bid" is $9,016,378. Advanco submitted the second lowest "base bid" of$9,968,843. They proposed alternates to two items of base bid equipment. Their"alternate bid" is$9,878,843. Page 3 A As in the case with all other higher bidders, Advanco's"alternate bid" is still higher than Margate Construction, Inc.'s "base bid". Thus, under any combination of alternates, Margate Construction, Inc.would remain the apparent low bidder. The District requests authorization to award the contract to Margate Construction, Inc. for the base bid of$9,647,600. If either the plug valve alternative or the axial flow pump alternative is accepted, a change order would be issued to Margate Construction, Inc., taking the deduction listed in their proposal. The Director of Engineering recommends award of the contract to Margate Construction, Inc., for$9,647,600. Construction completion is scheduled for September 2001. The engineer's estimate is$15,000,000. The engineer's estimate includes hauling and disposal of digester cleaning material. The bidders were given the option to use the District's digester cleaning beds. If the bidder uses the District's digester- cleaning beds and adheres to specified procedures, the hauling and disposal would be provided by the District under their existing hauling and disposal contract with Pima Grow. Margate Construction, Inc. proposes to use the District's digester cleaning beds. The hauling and disposal costs paid by the District are estimated at$663,180 based upon an estimated volume of 14,000 tons of material hauled at $47.37 per ton. Staff requests authorization of$663,180 from the construction budget. This authorization is for payment of sludge hauling and disposal costs to Pima Grow. Staff requests authorization of Construction Staff budget for$1,636,600. ALTERNATIVES No alternatives are proposed, because the recommendation is to award the lowest responsible bidder. CEQA FINDINGS This project is exempt per CEQA and District's Guidelines, Section 15301(B). The Notice of Exemption was filed with the County Clerk on March 17, 1988. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Motion to adopt Ordinance No. OCSD-10. SUMMARY Prior to the 1991-92 fiscal year, Source Control Permit User Fee Rates were revised each year based upon actual costs to treat BOD, SS and flow for the prior year. Between 1991-92 and 1998-99 the rates were unchanged. Last year the rate calculation methodology for general user fees and for Source Control Permit User Fees were both revised and brought into alignment. General user fees, those collected as a separate line item on the property tax bill, were adopted for 1999-2000 at the June Board meeting. This action revises the rates for Class I and Class 11 Source Control Permit Users to reflect the new fees for the general user. 1A' 1NEonWY1My.WNp�L`HUN kpM HeRRb11BBB 9aN•WNr RrRonmww.teG¢ Rw enave Page 1 Included in this Ordinance are other miscellaneous fees and charges. The only other ones proposed to change are the costs of Laboratory Sample Analyses. The proposed fees are based upon benchmarking results and actual costs of analyses. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY Approximately $6 million will be paid by Class I and Class II permittees in 1999-2000. BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ® Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Class I and Class II Fees One provision of the Clean Water Act and our 1979 Revenue Program, adopted by the Board of Directors to comply with the Act, is user fees for significant industrial dischargers. These dischargers are issued Class I and Class II Permits by the Source Control Division, are sampled each quarter, and are billed based upon the actual sampled strength and quantity of their wastewater. Subsequent to the RAC process and evaluation of user fees for the Strategic Plan, the rates for Class I and Class II permiltees and the rates for general users are now calculated in a similar manner. The current year budget and the actual prior year treatment quantities are used to develop unit costs. The proposed rates and current rates are shown in the table below. Applying these rates to the typical residential discharge results in the rates for a single-family residence that were approved at the June Board meeting. 1998-99 Rates Proposed Rates Boo ss Flow Boo ss Revenue Flow per per Domestic per per per Domestic Area per MG 1000# 1000# Equivalent MG 1000# 1000Y Equivalent 1 271.08 223.04 213.39 96.41 382.46 234.28 222.65 110.04 2 208.07 171.19 163.79 74.00 264.15 161.81 153.77 76.00 3 212.28 174.66 167.11 75.50 264.15 161.81 153.77 76.00 5 237.59 195.48 187.03 84.50 304.12 186.29 177.04 87.50 6 222.13 182.76 174.86 79.00 278.05 170.32 161.87 80.00 7 168.70 138.81 132.80 60.00 229.39 140.52 133.54 66.00 11 224.94 185.07 177.07 80.00 312.81 191.61 182.10 90.00 13 281.17 231.34 1 221.34 100.00 347.56 212.90 202.33 100.00 -.l w.amwerrymw.e•me p.d•arpwsuvm eda rs.w n.p.seeova.n rsa: R. viols Page 2 Laboratory Sample Analysis Fees The OCSD Laboratory costs for analysis of wastewater samples collected from various permit holders are charged to the appropriate Revenue Area each month. This puts the costs of administering a permit in the same fund as the permit user fee revenue. When these costs are incurred as a result of an Enforcement Compliance Schedule Agreement, or ECSA, then the permit holder is charged for the analysis. An ECSA is a mutual agreement between the District and the permittee amending the permit to require changes in pretreatment equipment or practices. The permit holder is similarly charged for analyses during non-compliance events or investigation. The Laboratory has recalculated the costs to perform or outsource 44 sample analyses. The calculations are based upon the Multi-Agency Benchmarking Study and actual costs to the District. The unit costs are shown in Table B of the proposed Ordinance. ALTERNATIVES 1. Retain existing fee schedule. 2. Adopt a different fee schedule. 3. Adopt the same fee in each revenue area. CEQA FINDINGS Not applicable.
