Re: Recommendations generated from Secondary Peer Review Panel process
Dear Blake:
The Executive Officer, Mr. Gerry Thibeault, of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board appointed a peer review panel to review and comment on the Orange County
Sanitations Districts efforts to plan and implement full secondary treatment of the District's
wastewater. The primary purpose of the Panel was to independently assess the proposed
schedule necessary to implement full secondary treatments. However, our discussions
throughout the process covered many related topics to treatment, recommended processes,
pitfalls of construction, and suggestions to the engineering staff.
As a member of the Panel, representing the interested public, I want to thank the engineering
staff of Orange County Sanitation District for the extraordinary effort they made to
accommodate and provide extensive information to the Panel for its deliberations. Secondly,
I want to thank Mr. Thibeault for the foresight to establish the Peer Review Panel. I am
confident that all participants will concur the process and resulting recommendations were
beneficial in many ways to the District and to the Regional Board.
Between workshops, I hosted two meetings with members of the Ocean Outfall Group
steering committee members. We discussed issues that coincided with the Panel discussions
relating to treatment processes and the construction/implementation schedule for full
secondary treatment. The following recommendations were generated from these meetings.
I request these recommendations be included as part of the overall report of the Peer Review
Panel, as a minority report of one Panel member. Our recommendations are as follows:
1. Prior construction contracts and commitments to develop the Ground Water
Replenishment System have been executed. Though the Panel was assembled to
review a schedule for secondary treatment, we reviewed a $2 billion construction
schedule of which secondary was only a portion. Extensive design and
engineering will occur while GWRS facilities are being constructed. While we
support the proposed construction schedule and acknowledge that it is both
ambitious and aggressive, full secondary should be implemented as rapidly as
possible, even sooner than 10 years if possible.
2. The Reject Brine(s) from GWRS treatment(R.O. and micro-filtration) should be
directed to plant No.I (or No. 2) for full secondary treatment rather than be
discharged into the ocean without further treatment.
3. Establish performance standards as achievable milestones during the
construction process. Standards for Total Suspended Solids(TSS)and
Biochemical Oxygen Demand(BOD) should be established at points in the
ten-year construction schedule as milestones to achieve to full secondary
treatment. The District should then work to attain each milestone. We request an
ad hoc committee be established and composed of public members and OCSD
staff to establish milestones.
4. Various members of the Peer Review Panel commented that it was their opinion
that all influent should go through some type of biological treatment. Since
anything biodegradable can be treated with a biological process,this serves as a
safeguard into the future as we learn of new exotic compounds and
pharmaceuticals that may be contained in the influent. We support biological
treatment of all influent.
5. Plant No. 2 should be designed to reclaim wastewater and ultimately send it to the
GWRS, or otherwise be reclaimed. We are concerned with the stated policy of the
Department of Health Services that prohibits influent in the SARI line from being
reclaimed. If the SARI line influent is mixed with the rest of the influent in Plant No.
2, then Plant No.2 cannot reclaim wastewater through GWRS. We recommend either
the SARI line be isolated at Plant No.2,allowing for the rest of the wastewater to be
reclaimed. Additionally,the SARI line should be treated upstream so that what
reaches OCSD can receive full secondary treatment and be reclaimed.
6. We encourage the District to look for innovation opportunities in both treatment
processes and facility design during the next two-three years for engineering the
final treatment process strategy and the facilities design for full secondary
treatment. During construction planning,we encourage the engineering teams to
always be vigilant for methods to reduce construction time.
We appreciate the opportunity to present these recommendations to the OCSD Board of
Directors and request their consideration.
Sincerely,
0Execu52rryo,Brtiv Director

The Board of Directors' July 17, 2002 decision to upgrade the District's ocean
discharge to meet full secondary treatment standards (30 milligrams per liter
of biochemical oxygen demand, and 30 milligrams per liter of total suspended
solids), accounts for $422 Million of the total CIP cost. A schedule for
implementing the full secondary treatment upgrades has been developed and
was reviewed by an independent Peer Review Panel (Panel) to ensure that
the District had developed a schedule that was both reasonable and
achievable. Revisions to the implementation plan were made based on the
Panel's recommendations. The resulting schedule shows that full secondary
treatment can be implemented by late 2012, or in about 9.5 years.
The District's proposed schedule for implementation of full secondary
treatment will be presented at the workshop. A summary of the projects and
schedule required for full secondary treatment are enclosed in Attachment
No. 2. T he Peer Review Panel's recommendations are included in
Attachment No. 3.
Although full secondary treatment is several years from completion,
improvements in the quality of our ocean discharge will be made during the
implementation._ Projected ocean discharge quality is described in

ATTACHMENT 1 — CIP VALIDATION STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
APRIL 16, 2003
SPECIAL BOARD WORKSHOP
The Orange County Sanitation District's (District) Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) consists of several hundred projects and equipment installations
undertaken by the Engineering, Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and
Information Technology (IT) Departments. The Engineering Department projects
are generally referred to as the "large capital projects." Projects undertaken by
the O&M and IT departments are called "Special Projects."
The District's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consists of projects identified
in the 1999 Strategic Plan, 2002 Interim Strategic Plan Update, and projects that
were added during the annual CIP budget process and include:
• Major rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary treatment,
secondary treatment, outfall pumping, and solids handling facilities at both
treatment plants.
• Replacement and rehabilitation of 17 of the District's outlying pumping
stations and 44 projects to rehabilitate the trunk sewers.
• Funding for cooperative projects to help Cities upgrade their sewer
systems.
• Disinfection of the District's ocean discharge to reduce bacteria levels
below State bathing standards.
• Reclamation of 70 million gallon per day (mgd) of the District's effluent, or
nearly one third of the total daily flow (Groundwater Replenishment
System).
• Implementation of full secondary treatment standards.
Prioritizing Projects Based on Need
Over the last six months the District's staff and consultants conducted a process
to validate this CIP. This process involved a review of the need for each CIP
project, and the associated, scope, budget, and schedule. The first step in this
process was to develop the "Prioritization Principles" to ensure that the projects
are needed to serve the community and maintain a safe working environment.
These principles included:
• Protect Health and Safety
Assure that the health and safety of customers and the workers are protected.
Page 1 of 5
Book Page 7
• Provide most appropriate investment for rate payers
Assure that the investment of rate payers' funds is appropriate by providing
projects with schedules that truly match the projects needed, and repairing
and replacing assets in a manner that enhances the asset life.
• Protect and enhance livability and the environment
Assure that the project focuses are on sustainability, meeting customer
needs, and community expectations to be stewards of the environment.
• Utilize most appropriate practices
Assure that the investment in capital includes technology that demonstrates
both best practices and reliability.
• Expedite full secondary treatment projects
Assure that projects are consolidated and allow for the maximum number of
full secondary projects to occur as quickly and safely as possible.
Validating Project Scopes, Budgets, and Schedules
Following this prioritization process, the each project scope, budget, and
schedule was reviewed to ensure that it is properly funded to complete those
necessary tasks in a timely manner. This included the review of the several
hundred projects currently in the CIP. The following are significant outcomes of
this effort and will become the basis for the proposed FY 2003-2004 CIP.
1. There will be 136 large capital projects, 43 Special Projects, and various
Capital Equipment expenditures in the proposed FY 2003-2004 CIP. The
large capital projects were the focus of the detailed validation effort, but
the Special Projects and Capital Equipment expenditures were revised
based on their current status. The resulting projected expenditures for the
proposed CIP for July 2003 through June 2021 is $2,373,264,000. All
costs are current (2003) dollars.
2. The estimated projected cash flow for the proposed CIP is shown in
Figure ES-1. During the first five years of the program, the annual cash
flow expenditures range between $210 million and $307 million. The
average annual expenditure over those 5 years is approximately $265
million, with the peak occurring in 2 successive years, FY 2004-2005 and
FY 2005-2006. This chart does not include future undefined rehabilitation
projects after the year 2010; however, an estimate of these future project
expenses will be generated for projecting of future District fees and rates.

largest expenditures will be at Plant Nos. 1 and 2, followed closely by collections
and full secondary treatment. Water Management Projects consist of the
Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS), water conservation, longterm
monitoring, and the co-operative projects.

Expediting Full Secondary Treatment Projects
During this CIP validation process there was a separate effort to expedite full
secondary treatment projects. This effort involved three parallel efforts including
project consolidation workshops, a separate validation tasks just for the full
secondary treatment projects, and program revisions based on the inputs from an
independent peer review panel.
1. The consolidation workshops focused on reducing the total number of
projects to be done by the District and reduce the time necessary to complete
the full secondary treatment program. A number of projects were combined
or eliminated as part of this effort.
2. The separate validation of the full secondary program focused on defining
administrative and construction constraints and potential future issues. This
Page 4 of 5
Book Page 10
involved estimating potential construction conflicts, outlining potential
opportunities to expedite project schedules, and the assessment of known
potential project risks. These ideas and issues were captured in the
consultant detailed program evaluation report and will implemented with each
project as they development, when possible.
3. The final process was a review of the full secondary treatment program by an
independent panel of experts lead by Gerard Thibeault the Executive Officer
of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region.
The panel commented that OCSD's 10-year implementation plan is realistic,
reasonable, and achievable even compared to the 13 years and 11 years it
took City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts,
respectively. The Review Panel provided valuable suggestions and
comments that were incorporated in the final implementation plan. It was also
noted that the District should continue to look for opportunities to be more
efficient and creative to complete full secondary as early as possible.

SECONDARY TREATMENT PROJECT AND SCHEDULE ANALYSIS
APRIL 16, 2003
SPECIAL BOARD WORKSHOP
The following are brief descriptions of the projects that are required for the
Orange County Sanitation District (District) to move to full secondary treatment.
Secondary Treatment Projects Summary
Rehabilitation Projects
1 .) Activated Sludge Plant Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1 , Job No. P1-82
This project includes the rehabilitation of the existing secondary facilities at Plant
No. 2. This project will restore the design capacity of the treatment system to 80
mgd. This project is estimated to be operational by June 2007 at an estimated
cost of 523,870,000.
2.) Secondary Plant Rehabilitation at Plant 2, Job No. P2-74
This project replaces major piping systems at the Plant No.2 secondary facilities
that have begun to fail or are at the end of their useful life. This project will
restore the design capacity of the treatment system to 90 million gallon per day
(mgd). This project is estimated to be operational by May 2008 at an estimated
cost of $20,475,000
3.) Trickling Filter Rehabilitation and New Clarifiers at Plant 1 , Job No. P1-76
This project removes the four existing trickling filters at Plant No. 1 and replaces
them with two new trickling filters and clarifiers. The new trickling filter facility will
be located in the same footprint as the existing trickling filters and have the same
capacity of 30 mgd at an estimated cost of $44,693,000.
4.) Secondary Treatment Monitoring & Control System Upgrade at Plant 2,
Job No. P2-47-3
This project adds hardware and software to upgrade the existing oxygen
activated sludge process instrumentation and control system to current District
Standards. The upgrades replace antiquated equipment with current technology

Book Pagc 14
and will provide improved access to process information for Operations staff.
The estimated cost of the project is $8,703,000.
5.) Ammonia Side Stream Treatment at Plant Nos. 1 & 2, Job No. P1-80/FP2-07
This project will install treatment technologies to reduce effluent ammonia
attributed to the sludge treatment and dewatering processes. This project is
estimated to be operational by June 2007 at an estimated cost of$18,600,000.
Originally this project was established to remove Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
and some ammonia as part of the long term implementation of the 1999 Strategic
Plan. A recent increase in effluent toxicity attributed to increased ammonia
concentrations has expanded this project's scope to include addressing the
current and projected increases in effluent ammonia toxicity.
Expansion Projects
1.) New Secondary Treatment System at Plant No. 1, Job No. FP1-X
This project will expand Plant No. 1 to full secondary treatment capacity. This
includes the construction of 90 mgd of secondary treatment process capacity.
This project is estimated to be operational by December 2012 at an estimated
cost of $251,100,000.
2.) New Secondary Treatment System at Plant No. 2, Job No. FP2-X
This project will expand Plant No. 2 to full secondary treatment capacity
assuming the use of trickling filter technology. This includes the construction of
60 mgd of secondary treatment process capacity. This project is estimated to be
operational by December 2011 at an estimated cost of$128,727,000.
3.) Digesters and Sludge Cake Hoppers at Plant 2, Job No. FP2-02/04/05
This project is to expand the solids handling capabilities of Plant No.2 for the full
secondary treatment program. The project will also rehabilitate existing sludge
support facilities that are failing or are the end of their useful life. This project is
estimated to be operational by December 2010 at an estimated cost of
$42,325,000.
Secondary Treatment Program Schedule and Analysis
A detailed evaluation of the project scheduling effort is contained in Exhibit 1 —
"Technical Memorandum 3 Analysis of Full Secondary Projects" from the March
28, 2003 Engineering CIP Validation Study prepared by Integrated Program
Management Consultants (IPMC). Exhibit 1 also contains a detailed description
Page 2of3
Book Page 15
of the project constraints and limitations to implementing full secondary treatment
at the District.
Secondary Treatment Schedule
The schedules for each project described above that are considered part of the
full secondary treatment program are also contained in Exhibit 2. Exhibit 2 is a
visual illustration of the project schedules, but it includes some detailed
information about the each project's schedule. This type of chart is generally
used by project managers to track project schedules and costs.
Shown in the Exhibit are the District's engineering policies and procedures that
break each project into 6 phases. The phases contain major project efforts like
project development, design and construction. The other phases shown include
commissioning (starting up of the build facilities) and close-out (warranty period).
Also, within the various phases there are special studies when necessary and
administrative procedures like selecting and hiring consultants and contractors.
The Exhibit 2 contains tabulated information such as start and finish dates,
duration of each effort, and the estimated costs for additional reference. Finally,
the diamonds on the schedules indicate when that particular project becomes
fully operational.
As shown in Exhibit 2, the District will achieve full secondary treatment in
December 2012 when the Plant No.1 secondary expansion is completed, as
indicated by the diamond operational milestone indicator.

Full Secondary Treatment Program
OCSD has made the commitment to upgrade the treatment level to full secondary standards
as expeditiously as possible. The main impact of this decision is the requirement to reduce
levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids(TSS)from the
effluent discharge to the ocean and comply with the secondary treatment standards of the
Clean Water Act. The primary concerns with toxicity are the levels of ammonia and trace
toxic organics in the effluent and the ability to pass the proposed effluent toxicity tests
required in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)Permit. OCSD is
currently conducting laboratory tests to determine the acceptable levels of ammonia and
related contaminants to comply with the effluent toxicity requirements. An effluent
ammonia concentration of 22 milligrams per liter(mg/L) has been established as a
treatment goal until the testing program is completed. This goal will be achieved by partial
nitrification of the wastewater. Plant No. 1 will provide nitrification in the activated sludge
systems. Plant No. 2 will not provide a nitrified effluent.
The Ground Water Replenishment System(GWRS) is a joint effort of the Orange County
Water District and OCSD to provide reclaimed water for replenishment of the local
groundwater and to augment the existing seawater barrier. The system is currently being
designed and is scheduled for operation by mid-2007. OCSD has made a commitment to
provide 104 million gallons per day (mgd) of secondary effluent to GWRS in 2007. When
GWRS is operating, OCSD is also obligated to accept return flow and maintain NPDFS
compliance. Initially,the return flow will be 11 mgd of microfiltration(MF) reject and 12
mgd of reverse osmosis (RO) reject.
The design flows for each plant are based on the Interim Strategic Plan Update with a
planning horizon of 2020. For Plant No.1,the estimated flow in 2020 is 177 mgd plus
20 mgd (ultimate)of MF recycle from GWRS,Phase III. A side stream treatment system
may also be located at Plant No.1. This system will treat 2 mgd of belt press recycle and
23 mgd(ultimate) of RO recycle from GWRS. An option is being evaluated to discharge the
RO recycle directly to the OCSD's ocean outfall without treatment. The secondary
treatment capacity at Plant No. 1 will include(1) the existing activated sludge system,
upgraded for nitrification at 80 mgd; (2) a new 30-mgd trickling filter system;and (3) a
proposed 90-mgd,nitrifying,activated sludge system. Plant No.1 will produce 170 mgd of
nitrified effluent by 2012. Plant No.1 must have the capacity to produce 104 mgd of
secondary effluent for GWRS by mid-2007.

ANALYSIS OF FULL SECONDARY PROJECTS
The secondary treatment capacity at Plant No.2 in the year 2020 will be 144 mgd. This
capacity consists of an existing pure oxygen plant with a capacity of 90 mgd and a proposed
trickling filter plant with a capacity of 60 mgd. Plant No. 2 is also the location for a 2-mgd
side stream treatment system for the reduction of ammonia from the sludge dewatering
process recycle. OCSD will be initiating a study to determine the efficacy of various
secondary treatment processes to reduce effluent toxicity. Plant No. 2 will produce a non-
nitrified effluent.
OCSD is currently involved in research that can contribute to greater process efficiencies
and cost savings. Research with centrifuge sludge dewatering and anoxic gas flotation
(AGF) of digester sludge(SPR90)could improve future sludge treatment systems. This
research will be completed in 2003 for timely input to the future sludge treatment expansion
projects. OCSD also is conducting research on the use of organism selector zones in the
activated sludge systems. In addition,OCSD is studying microfiltration as a potential
method of suspended solids removal. This research will be completed in 2003 for input into
future activated sludge designs.
Three secondary treatment projects are proposed at Plant No. 1. P1-82 is the rehabilitation
of the existing activated sludge system. These improvements include replacement of flow
control gates,improved return sludge hydraulics,sludge collector replacement,selector
zone modifications,and two new clarifiers. This work should be completed by mid-2007,to
provide 80 mgd of secondary effluent for GWRS. FP1-X is a new 90-mgd activated sludge
system at Plant No. 1 that,when completed in 2012,will provide full secondary treatment
for Plant No. 1. This system will have a similar design to the existing activated sludge
system with the ability to nitrify. The system will be designed for nitrification using criteria
established through OCSD research and operating experience. Engineering of the project
will begin in mid-2003 and the system is scheduled to be operational in 8 years. P1-76 is a
project that will produce secondary effluent,using the trickling filter treatment process.
Construction of this project will begin in mid-2003 and is scheduled for completion in early
2006 and will add 30 mgd of secondary treatment capacity. This project is required to meet
secondary commitments to GWRS in mid-2007. A related project for Plant No.1 is the Ellis
Pump Station (I-10). Flow in the Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) is currently treated at
Plant No.2. The flows in the SARI include wastewater from industrial sources that are not
suitable for reclamation by GWRS and,therefore,cannot be treated at Plant No. 1. The Ellis
Pump Station will provide replacement flow from other service areas of treatment at Plant
No.1 and GWRS. The Ellis Pump Station is currently in design and must be constructed
and operating by mid-2007.
Several projects are proposed to provide upgraded and expanded secondary treatment
capacity at Plant No. 2. Three projects are proposed to improve the performance of the pure
oxygen system. Project SP-72 will upgrade the oxygen generation system to reliably
produce 70 tons/day of oxygen. This production rate will support a 90-mgd pure oxygen,
activated sludge system. A project(P2-47-3)to upgrade the oxygen metering and control
system is currently in design. These improvements are scheduled to be completed by mid-
2004. This project will increase the secondary treatment capacity at Plant No.2 to 90 mgd.
Other improvements (P2-74) to the pure oxygen,activated sludge system are scheduled for
implementation between mid-2003 and mid-2007.

ANALYSIS OF FULL SECONDARY PROJECTS
Two new projects are proposed at Plant No.2 to increase the secondary treatment capacity.
FP2-X will add 60 mgd for trickling filter capacity. This project will begin design in early
2004 and is scheduled to be operational in 8 years and,when on line in 2011,will provide
full secondary treatment at Plant No.2. FP2-02/04/05 is a project that will add sludge
treatment facilities to support the new secondary treatment systems. This project will
provide additional digesters and sludge storage facilities to handle the additional sludge
generated by the new secondary treatment systems.
Priority was given to full secondary projects during scheduling. Using standard time
frames for design and construction,a full secondary schedule was developed that shows full
secondary can be accomplished by 2012. There are many risks in delivering projects. Some
of the major common and project-specific risks were identified,and estimated delays were
noted. If the risks cannot be mitigated fully,the full secondary schedule could slip by up to
2 years making the late finish 2014. The common risks and mitigation strategies are noted
elsewhere in this appendix.
An outside independent peer review panel was retained to review the full secondary
implementation plan and provide feedback. The panel members included:
1. Tim Haug,City of Los Angeles, Bureau of Sanitation
2. Joe Mundine,City of Los Angeles,Bureau of Sanitation
3. Tom Riegelhuth,Margate Construction
4. Gerry Thibeault, RWQCB, Executive Office
5. Garry Brown, Executive Director,Orange County Coast Keepers
6. Doug Drury,IEUA,Operations Manager
The Peer Review Panel met on January 26,2003,in a 1/2-day workshop. The second
workshop was held on February 26,2003,to receive the panel's recommendation and
comments regarding the full secondary implementation plan. A third workshop was held
on March 24,2003. Comments,observations,and recommendations have been documented
in separate notes.
Technical Memorandum No. 3 is a compilation of various meeting minutes and discussions
that document the need and approach to full secondary.The following items are

SUMMARY REPORT OF PEER REVIEW PANEL
EVALUATION OF ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT PLAN
AND SCHEDULE FOR IMPLEMENATION OF SECONDARY TREATMENT
April 9, 2003
Gerard J. Thibeault, Executive Officer
California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region
INTRODUCTION
The Orange County Sanitation District (District or OCSD) currently discharges a blend
of primary-treated and secondary-treated wastewater to the Pacific Ocean under a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, jointly issued by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region (Regional Board). That NPDES permit
includes a waiver of full secondary treatment, under the provisions of Section 301(h) of
the Clean Water Act. The permit will expire on June 8, 2003.
Under the implementing regulations of the NPDES program, the District was required to
submit an application for renewal of its NPDES permit no later than 180 days before the
expiration date of the permit. On July 17, 2002, the Board of Directors of OCSD voted
to submit to EPA and the Regional Board an application for renewal that did not include
a request for continuation of the 301(h) waiver of full secondary treatment; that is, the
District voted to apply for a permit that would require full secondary treatment.
It was very clear that the District's decision to proceed to full secondary treatment was
not the end of the matter. There appeared to be significant issues related to how long it
would take the District to move from the policy of providing approximately fifty percent
secondary treatment under the 301(h) waiver to one hundred percent secondary. It is
important that a clear understanding of the time necessary to move to full secondary be
developed, since this information will be integral to the development of the revised
NPDES permit for OCSD, and because of the time schedules for compliance that are
expected to be included therein.
PEER REVIEW PANEL
Subsequent to the vote by the OCSD Board to proceed to full secondary, Blake
Anderson, General Manager of the District, agreed that a group of wastewater treatment
and construction experts, along with an active observer from the interested
environmental community, should be brought together to review and evaluate the
Book Page 26
Summary Report of Peer Review Panel -2- April 9, 2003
District's plans for implementation of the secondary treatment project. He volunteered
that the District would provide the necessary support for this effort.
Discussions then ensued concerning individuals who would be requested to participate
on this peer review panel. It was agreed that engineering and construction experts,
experienced in both wastewater treatment unit process and large-scale construction,
would be best qualified to provide the input necessary to critically evaluate the District's
plans. It was also clear that it would be beneficial to have a panel member from an
interested environmental group participate in the effort to act as a public representative
evaluating the effort. We were very fortunate that the following panel members agreed
to assist in the peer review effort: Dr. Roger T. Haug, Deputy City Engineer for the City
of Los Angeles; Joe Mundine, Assistant Director, Bureau of Sanitation and Plant
Manager for the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant; Dr.
Douglas Drury, Executive Manager-Operations for the Inland Empire Utilities Agency;
Thomas Riegelhuth, owner and general contractor with Margate Construction Company;
and Garry Brown, Executive Director of the Orange County CoastKeeper, representing
environmental interests and the general public.
PROCESS
A description of the activities of the Panel is included in the attached "Secondary
Treatment Implementation Peer Review Panel Process Overview". For the purposes of
this report, suffice it to say that the Panel engaged in an open and spirited review and
critique of the District's plans and schedule for the implementation of full secondary
treatment. The Panel found that District staff was receptive to all suggestions, and all
comments that might be considered critical of the District's outputs to that time. District
staff responded to all of the Panel input in a professional and helpful manner.
Suggestions and criticisms were discussed with an open and non-defensive attitude.
Requests by Panel members for additional information, changes in working materials, or
reviews of treatment process decisions were always accommodated in a positive
manner.
It was clear that the expertise of the Panel members resulted in input to the District
concerning matters that, in some cases, had not been considered by District staff. That
was not a surprise, given the experience and expertise of the panel. Dr. Haug and Mr.
Mundine recently completed work on the secondary treatment upgrade for the City of
Los Angeles Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant, a project very similar to the
District's proposed project. Their experiences with the Hyperion project provided input
to the District from individuals who had just lived through problems and scheduling
difficulties that were specifically and directly relevant to what is being contemplated by
OCSD. Their input to the process was invaluable. Dr. Drury provided very valuable
input to the process from the perspective of an individual who has enormous experience
and expertise in both wastewater treatment plant operations, and very importantly, the
science underlying those operations. (Dr. Drury is also an adjunct professor, teaching
biological unit processes, at the University of California, Riverside.) Mr. Riegelhuth
Book Page 27
Summary Report of Peer Review Panel -3- April 9, 2003
provided another level of "ground truthing"from the perspective of an individual with
great experience in heavy construction. It was all well and good to get suggestions, but
Mr. Riegelhuth provided the perspective on whether those suggestions could actually be
implemented within the constraints of time and space available for this work. Mr. Brown
provided review of the process from the perspective of an interested individual with a
"bias" towards wanting to see the secondary treatment process completed absolutely as
quickly as reasonable and feasible. When Mr. Brown was asked to participate on the
Panel, this "bias" was both expected and encouraged. Mr. Brown's intelligent and
sincere questions and comments provided important perspective and led to significant
changes to process output documents that will assist the public in understanding the
basis and justification of the schedule proposed by the District.
DISCUSSION
As a result of considerable Panel input between January 24th and March 24th, as well as
an enormous amount of work by District staff, both to prepare the original process
descriptions and schedule, and to respond to questions and suggestions of the Panel,
the District proposed a schedule that would lead to implementation of full secondary
treatment by the end of 2012. This means that, in slightly more than 9 '/2 years, the
District will attempt to implement projects to bring its treatment level up to full
secondary, as well as implement other vital infrastructure projects, with expenditures
totaling an estimated $2.06 billion over that same period. This undertaking will result in
project expenditures for the next nine years at a rate of $100 million to $150 million per
year more than the City of Los Angeles spent in their year of highest project expenditure
(Tim Haug).
The OCSD projected schedule leading to full implementation of secondary treatment by
the end of 2012 incorporates the recommendations of the Panel. We believe that this
schedule is both ambitious and very aggressive. We also believe that the District will
have to manage this project with exceptional discipline and dedication, in order to meet
the projected full secondary implementation date.
The incorporation of the District's proposed schedule into a compliance schedule in the
District's NPDES permit, expected to be revised and re-issued during 2003, and/or into
a consent decree with EPA, will provide an enforceable boundary to this process.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BY PEER REVIEW PANEL MEMBERS
Individual peer review panel members requested that certain clarifying statements be
included with this summary.
1. Dr. Doug Drury: Dr. Drury believes that the best way to address toxicity
concerns is to build a conservative nitrifying activated sludge plant, using an
Book Page 28
Summary Report of Peer Review Panel -4- April 9, 2003
anoxic zone for a selector as a means to control filaments. He suggests that
some activated sludge be constructed at both Plants 1 and 2.
2. Garry Brown: Garry Brown indicated support for the schedule proposed by
OCSD, but requested that the following concepts be included in this summary to
document his concerns and recommendations:
a. The reject brines from GWRS must be treated to secondary levels.
b. Milestones should be developed for both TSS and BOD, and the District
should adhere to them.
C. All effluent should receive secondary biological treatment, as per the
suggestion of Dr. Haug.
d. SARI effluent should be separated so that maximum reclamation of non-
SARI flows can be achieved.
e. OCSD should be willing to invite and evaluate innovation opportunities
during the next two years of the design process.
Mr. Brown has indicated that, with the inclusion of the five comments (a. through e.), he
supports the proposed schedule.
The comments by Dr. Drury and Mr. Brown were discussed during the Panel meetings,
and these are issues that District staff agreed to evaluate and consider.
CONCLUSION
The panel recommends that the Board of the OCSD, the EPA and the Regional Board
incorporate and enforce, as appropriate, a strategy by OCSD that leads to the
implementation of full secondary treatment by December 31, 2012.
This recommendation has been endorsed by all members of the Panel.

SECONDARY TREATMENT IMPLEMENTATION PEER REVIEW PANEL
PROCESS OVERVIEW
PURPOSE
A Peer Review Panel (Panel) was assembled to review and comment on the
Orange County Sanitation District's (District) efforts to plan, schedule and
implement full secondary treatment of the District's wastewater. The make-up of
the panel was developed by Mr. Gerard Thibeault, Executive Officer of the Santa
Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, State of California. The term "full
secondary treatment" refers to a level of treatment which produces biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations of less
than 30 milligrams per liter (mg/1). The District is currently discharging a blend of
approximately 68% secondary treated effluent and 32% primary treated effluent
with 58 mg/I of BOD and 37 mg/I of TSS.
The primary purpose of the Panel was to provide an independent assessment of
the proposed schedule necessary to implement full secondary treatment. Issues
addressed by the Panel included:
1) What facilities are required to achieve full secondary treatment?
2) What are the major constraints to implementing the full secondary
treatment program?
3) Is the schedule aggressive, reasonable, and achievable?
PANEL MEMBERS
The Panel was made up of experts from the fields of engineering, construction
and environmental regulation, as well as a member of the general public. The
Panel was chaired by Mr. Gerard Thibeault, Executive Officer, Santa Ana
Regional Water Quality Control Board, State of California. The other Panel
members consisted of Tim Haug, Assistant City Engineer (Sanitation), City of Los
Angeles; Joseph Mundine, Plant Manager, City of Los Angeles Hyperion
Treatment Plant; Dr. Douglas Drury, Executive Manager- Operations, Inland
Empire Utilities Agency; Thomas Riegelhuth, President, Margate Construction
Company; and Garry Brown, Executive Director, Orange County Coast beeper,
representing the interested public.
WORKSHOPS
Three workshops were held with the Peer Review Panel. The first workshop was
held on January 24, 2003. The purpose of this workshop was to provide an
introduction for the Panel to the District's full secondary program. The
presentations at the workshop included background on the District's overall
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) an overview of the CIP Validation Process
and a discussion of decisions which lead to the full secondary treatment
program. There was also a detailed presentation on the projects which are
hSecondary Peer Review\SECONDARY PEER REVIEW draft 040703 GT comments.doc 1
Book Page 30
necessary to develop achieve full secondary treatment. The presentation
included individual project descriptions, schedules, and a discussion of the
program constraints, assumptions and risks. The Panel was given a notebook
containing all the presentation materials. The workshop was followed by a tour of
both treatment plants.
A second workshop was held on February 26, 2003. After reviewing the
information provided at the first workshop, the Panel engaged in a detailed
discussion of proposed projects and the program schedule. The discussion
included (1) the benefits of the trickling filter and the activated sludge processes
and their ability to control effluent toxicity, (2) the construction coordination needs
with other District projects, (3) procedures for engineering consultant selection
and contractor bidding, (4) District staffing requirements for implementing the
program, and (5) procedures to insure quality control and a successful program.
The Minutes of the second workshop are included in Attachment No. 1.
A third workshop was held to follow-up on the discussions of the second
workshop. A revised full secondary treatment implementation schedule, which
reflected input from the second workshop and further refinement by the District's
Capital Improvement Program validation team, was presented and reviewed.
This schedule is included in Attachment No. 3. The Panel discussed the cash
flow requirements of the Program, and the ability to maintain plant operations
during construction. The Minutes of the third workshop is included in Attachment
No. 2.
The results of these workshops can be summarized as follows:
1. There is a concern regarding the selection of trickling filters for secondary
treatment at Plant No. 2. Activated sludge may be more effective at
removing trace toxic organic compounds and should be considered for
implementation at Plant No. 2 to address potential future treatment
requirements. The District is currently conducting bioassay tests to
determine the potential toxicity of the effluent. The process selection at
Plant No.2 should consider trickling filters, activated sludge and the
modification of the High Purity Oxygen (HPO) plant to provide nitrification.
As a result of this comment, the District is conducting a process selection
study prior to the design of the Plant No. 2 secondary treatment facilities.
2. It is the District's intention to operate all process units at their maximum
sustainable capacity to achieve the lowest values of BOD and TSS during
the construction period leading to full secondary treatment. The District is
preparing a chart showing projected changes in effluent quality over time
during the implementation of full secondary treatment.
3. The schedule for Plant No. 2 secondary treatment expansion (Job No.
FP2-X) should be accelerated. The Plant No. 2 Headworks project should
not delay secondary treatment expansion at Plant No. 2. The District will
[ASecondary Pear RevievASECONDARY PEER REVIEW draft 040703 GT comments.doc 2
Book Page 31
conduct a joint project study to evaluate the feasibility of expediting Job No. FP2-X.
4. There was a question posed to the District's Engineering team: Can the
proposed time required for implementing full secondary treatment be
reduced by 20%? Based on information known today, the proposed
schedule has been developed to be reasonable and achievable. The
District intends to work for early completions, when possible as
information on individual projects is known.
5. The District needs to present an understandable schedule to the public.
The schedule should reflect indicators of the progress, such as BOD, TSS
and the percent of flow receiving secondary treatment, achieved during
the implementation period.
6. The District should consider requiring Process and Instrumentation
Drawings and equipment submittals at the 25% design stage and invest
significant review effort at that time, in order to speed up the overall design
and construction process.
7. The District should consider the following: (1) Establish a dedicated
Technical Review Group to review all designs for maintainability, (2)
Consider using 3-dimensional illustrations for project reviews, and (3)
Establish a dedicated O&M Team for tie-ins, shutdowns, startups and
commissioning
8. The District should consider contracting with a single contractor to perform
final automated process control programming.
9. The District should consider instituting a program of contracting for
indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type services for post
construction activities, similar to the City of Los Angeles' program.
10.The District should consider contractor partnering on the large projects.
Partnering is designed to create common goals and form binding
relationships that work toward those goals. Partnering should encourage
the contractor to contact the owner's staff directly so situations can be
quickly resolved, to the satisfaction and best interests of all involved.
11.The District has developed a reasonable and achievable schedule to
provide secondary treatment of the full influent flow by the year 2012.
SCHEDULES
The Panel reviewed schedules for the 8 individual projects and provided
comments to the District's Engineering team.
At Plant No.1, the rehabilitation of the existing activated sludge system (P1-82,
80mgd) will be completed by mid -2007. The construction of new trickling filters
(P1-76, 30mgd) will be on line by 2006. Both of these projects are needed to
produce secondary effluent in 2007 for the Ground Water Replenishment System

Book Page 32
(GWRS). Job No. P1-80 is also scheduled for completion by mid -2007 in order
to provide side stream treatment to the belt press recycle, and possibly the return
flows from the GWRS, to meet effluent toxicity limits. The project scope for Job
No. P1-80 is currently being studied. Preliminary engineering work on the new
activated sludge system (Job No. FP1-X, 90 mgd) at Plant No.1 will begin in July
2003, leading to the design starting in April 2003. Due to the size and complexity
of this project, it will not be operational until 2012.
There are several secondary treatment projects at Plant No.2. Job No. P2-47-3 is
presently in design and will upgrade the gas flow metering and controls for the
High Purity Oxygen (HPO) system. Job No. P2-74 is in the development phase
and will provide mechanical and piping upgrades to the HPO activated sludge
plant. The HPO plant should be fully rehabilitated to provide 90 mgd of
secondary treatment by 2008. Preliminary engineering for new secondary
treatment processes at Plant No. 2 will begin in July 2003. The preliminary
engineering study will include a process selection study to evaluate the trickling
filter and activated sludge technologies. The study will also consider the
modification of the HPO plant to provide nitrification. The District's toxicity studies
must also completed in order to make a process selection. The schedule
provides for full secondary treatment at Plant No. 2 by 2011. Copies of the
schedules are included in Attachment No. 3.

5 Tim Haug: TF's used in Bakersfield are subject Observation
to high BOD test results in warm weather months.
This is believed to be due to increased nitrification
and sample timing. The District is proposing to
construct TF at P2 to reach full secondary. The
BOD limit in the permit may not be attainable if
the RWQCB does not recognize the affects of
nitrification.
Blake Anderson: Increased nitrification will be
an issue whether or not the District decides to
pursue TF,AS, or any other biological treatment.
6 Tim Haug: The District should try to pursue a Recommendation
CBOD limit rather than a TBOD limit for future
Waste Discharge Permits. CBOD testing is
thought to be a more accurate test of discharge
quality and more closely meets the intent of the

Clean Water Act. In addition,CBOD testing any
would not be skewed by temporary high
nitrification as TBOD testing is.
7 Blake Anderson: The District must consider Observation
energy use and solids waste handling and disposal
when considering the best alternatives for full
secondary treatment processes and facilities.
These items are significant cost items and must be
considered in the planning. The District must
balance meeting regulatory goals with the
fiduciary responsibility of minimizing costs to the
rate payers.
8 Garry Brown: The draft schedule shows Observation
completion of all facilities in approximately 2012.
Could the District examine the schedule for
potential reduction of time by 20%? At what
increased risk/cost will it be achieved by? Why
does TF construction at P2 start in 2007—can this
be accelerated?
David Ludwin: First,This schedule is a work in
progress and subject to further refinement. The
District wants to present an achievable and
reasonable schedule not a schedule that is
convenient for the District. The District does not
want to present a schedule that can not be met,
which would subject it to criticism later for not
meeting the schedule. Rather, a schedule that is
reasonable and achievable will be presented. The
District will work to beat this schedule if possible
as project knowledge grows and opportunities
present themselves.
Tom Riegelhuth:The schedule presented to date
may be aggressive as it is likely that the District,
because of the size of their projects,will be
working with some new contractors not used to
doing business with the District. This is very
likely to lead to more claims than the District has
historically seen, as well as schedule delays.
There may not be room to reduce the schedule any
more and,realistically,additional time may be
required.

Secondly,this CIP represents a two to three fold
increase in the amount of capital expenditure over
the next 7 years when compared to historical
expenditures. Even the most efficient private
organizations will have trouble assimilating such
high growth rates.Finally,the engineering
department has reorganized into the PMO and
engineering and construction divisions in order to
be more efficient.But,this will take some time.
These factors have to be considered before we
finalize the schedule
Tim Haug.I completely agree.It is important to
maintain staff morale during the hectic phase.
That is where the work gets done and you can
push only so much through any organization.
10 Tim Haug: The District needs to present an Recommendation Develop

be done by"overlaying"indicators of progress, a indicators
such as BOD, SS, and percentage of full and graphic

11 Tim Haug: The City of L.A. delivered their full Observation
secondary program in 13 years under court order.
The current draft schedule shows the District
delivering in 9 years. The City's program was for
average flows of 350 mgd versus 240 mgd for the
District. The District draft schedule seems close,
maybe optimistic.
Tim Haug: The City of L.A.has never been able
to conduct more than$250 million in expenditures
in any one fiscal year. Public agencies seem to
have a bureaucratic"cap"on the amount of work
they can produce each year. The District should
assess its ability and staffing to complete the
work. It will take the District tremendous effort to
meet the presented cash flow in critical years(in
excess of $300 million).
12 Joe Mundine: The District may be able to Observation
accelerate the P2 full secondary projects so that
P2 can come up to full secondary treatment
sooner. This would allow the District to show
significant incremental improvement to the public.

13 Jim Burror: It took L.A. County 11 years to Observation

District draft schedule of 9 years for this program
is in line with or even optimistic given the actual
experience of other Southern California agencies.
14 Tim Haug: How is the District financing the Observation
overall CIP and the full secondary work?
Blake Anderson: The District finances the CIP
using approximately 50%Certificates of
Participation(COP)and approximately 50%"pay
as you go." COP's are equivalent to bonds. This
equates to approximately$100 per household in
fees and property taxes currently. When full
secondary treatment comes on line this will equate
to approximately$200 per household. At$200
per household, the District will still be in the
lowest quartile of costs for sanitation districts
statewide. The District is exploring how best to
propose increased rates. In addition the 1989
District Master Plan accounted for the space and
financing that would be needed to move to full
secondary treatment so the District is well
positioned in those regards.
15 Tim Haug: The District has wisely scheduled Observation
process,,research(FP1-X process selection
between AS and TF)to be completed before
hirin&a design consultant. Determining which
proceislto use is a major step before proceeding

the design consultant select or evaluate the
process.
16 Tim Haug: The District should require PID's and Observation
proposed equipment at the 25-30%design stage
and invest significant review time here. This will
help the remaining design proceed more
efficiently with fewer changes.
David Ludwin/Rob Thompson: The current
District standards are extensive and to require PID
submittal at the 30%design stage(DS1).
Joe Mundine: One of the measures of success of
the District's full secondary program will be the
cost of the program. One way to keep costs
minimized is to have a significant review early in
the design phase. This will lead to a better design

The District goal is to keep change orders below
5% average over the entire CIP.
17 Tim Haug: The City of L.A.has instituted a Recommendation Investigate
program of contracting IDIQ type services for if District
post construction of their facilities. A single can do the
contractor is awarded the contract on a yearly same
basis. The City issues task orders to the p
contractor when needed,which greatly cuts down
the time to get the work performed. It also
removes the cost of procuring over and over for
these services during the year. This contract is
used to address minor construction after
commissioning of a facility. The contractor works
with O&M to address any"fine-tuning"or
"customization"required for the constructed
facility. Any major fine tuning is taken care of by
the facility contractor. The District should
consider using such a contract if the contract type
issues are acceptable to the District's Board.
18 Joe Mundine: The District might consider the RecommendtaiDn Investigate
following successful approaches the City if District
undertook: can do the
1. Establish a 100%dedicated Technical same
Review Group. This group would be
solely dedicated to reviewing all designs
for maintainability. 3D CAD designs/
renderings greatly help this effort. The
team should consist of all major
disciplines/trades so each aspect of the
design can be reviewed adequately.
2. Establish a 100%dedicated
commissioning/start up team 6-8 months
before commissioning starts. The team
would use the 6 months to get up to speed
with design and construction of the
facility so that commissioning could
proceed more efficiently.
3. Establish an O&M tie-in/shutdown team.
This team would work to detail out every
tie-in/shutdown required for every project.
This team was identified as critical to
helping the City meet their full pro ram

schedule.
All of these teams should be budgeted in to the
project programs. The cost of these teams will
more than pay for themselves in efficiency and
schedule savings.
19 Tom Riegelhuth: The full secondary program Recommendation Address
represents a significant volume of work,and the I&C design
likelihood of working with contractors new to the issue
District. The District has a rigorous programming
requirement that is different from most
wastewater agencies,which contractors are not
normally familiar with. This has and could result
in schedule delays and/or change orders or
frustration for the contractor. To prevent/
alleviate these results the District should consider
contracting with a programming contractor who
would perform all facility programming. This
would give consistent results from a software
contractor rather than a construction contractor
whose business is based on mechanical systems.
Remove this portion of the work from the
contracts for the process facilities.
Joe Mundine: The District could also consider
increasing O&M staff to perform programming to
get a consistency of product and results desired.
Dave Ludwin:We have talked about the various
possibilities of doing this differently.Hiring staff
by OCSD or having our program managers do
some of the work is a possibility
Rob Thompson: The PCI Division is
considering how to proceed in this regard. There
are advantages and disadvantages to the District in
how to procure programming. The comments
today are understood. A decision will need to be
made by the District.
20 Jag Salgaonkar: A revised schedule(revised Observation
from the January 24, 2003 handout to the Panel)
was distributed as well as a cash flow graph for
the District's overall CIP. It was explained that
this was still a work in progress and the
distributed materials represented progress to date.
The main difference in the schedules is that the
full secondary program is now shown extending a
year longer than was previously shown in the

January 24,2003 version.
David Ludwin: The District is looking for ways
to shorten the procurement cycles. Now,these
cycles are approximately 85 days for consultants
and 115 days for contractors. Some ideas are
raising the GM or Engineering Director
discretionary procurement limits. Now,the GM
has approval for$100k or 5%of the contract
amount,whichever is less. The Board PDC
committee has authority up to$200k or 10%of
the contract amount,whichever is less. Anything
beyond these limits goes to the Board for
ratification(change orders)or approval.
21 Garry Brown: It would be helpful to have a Recommendation Investigate
graph of how the permit limit levels are being how to
achieved throughout the duration of the full depict this
secondary program. The District should present information
graphic information that indicates as new facilities
come on line their individual effect on permit
limits. The graphic could also show the
cumulative effect of all new full secondary
facilities that are on line at any one time.
22 Bob Ooten: The review panel should not forget Observation
that what is shown on the schedules does not
reflect all District work. In addition to the CIP
there are numerous small projects(approximately
50)and maintenance going on that requires
District resources and time.
23 Gerry Thibeault: On the schedules the Closeout Observation
Phase is shown as included in the total project
time. When does beneficial occupancy occur?
Jag Salgaonkar: Definitions of the
Commissioning Phase and the Closeout Phase
were presented. At the end of commissioning,
beneficial occupancy of the facilities occurs.
Therefore,when reading the schedules,beneficial
occupancy,at the end of commissioning,would
represent when the facilities are effectively on
line.
David Ludwin: Beneficial occupancy of all
planned facilities is shown as occurring in early
2012 by the draft schedule. This is 9 years from
today. Again,the schedule is a work in progress.
It will be updated as the planning is refined,

including comments at today's meeting.
Jag Salgaonkar: Please note that 2012 is shown
on the schedule as an early finish date. This is
the date if all goes well on the project and we
have properly captured all risks. The schedule
also shows a late finish date should some new
risks arise, or those identified cannot be mitigated.
Gerry Thibeault: The District needs to do some
more planning on the schedule.
Joe Mundine: There may be opportunity to
consolidate projects further to reduce space and
contractor conflicts(not enough workspace)
issues.
David Ludwin: The projects have already been
consolidated. There are several large projects
already. There would be tremendous bonding
requirements for contractors if the large projects
were to be combined into even larger projects.
24 Garry Brown: What is the highest dollar amount Observation
of expenditures the District has executed in the
recent past? If City of L.A.had trouble executing
$250 million then can the District do more? How
can permit requirements be met on the schedule
shown?
Jim Herberg/Matt South: Typically the
District executes approximately 85%of what they
budget each year. Prior to this year$113 million
executed was the highest,and this year it appears
that it will be approximately$140 million.
Resources to execute more than this will be a big
issue.
Gerry Thibeault: Waste Discharge Permits are
issued every 5 years. The District is applying for
a permit now(2003 permit). When the District
applies for their 2008 permit legitimate issues
relating to schedule can be considered and the
2008 permit conditions can be altered from the
2003 version to account for these legitimate
issues.
25 Tim Haug: Please explain the District's Bid& Observation
Award Phases?

occurs as part of the Design Phase. There is no
separate phase for Bid&Award. Previous
schedules provided for the Panel's review show
Bid&Award as a separate phase. This depiction
was only for the convenience of review of the
panel. In general, Bid&Award is one of the last
activities in the Design phase and extends all the
way to the NTP for construction.
26 Tim Haug: Partnering during construction is Recommendtaion
recommended. With large projects,it would seem
that a partnering relationship is desirable to an
adversarial relationship with contractors.
Partnering establishes a mood of achievement,
which may improve quality and reduce change
orders. The District could consider formal
partnering on the larger contracts(--$100M or
greater).
Tom Riegelhuth: This is a good idea. With the
amount of work in the full secondary program and
the short schedule the District will have more
claims than they have historically had. Many new
contractors will be used as the contractors the
District has historically used will not be able to
bond and bid on such large projects. Partnering
may be one way to mitigate the volume and dollar
amount of claims.
Tim Haug: The District needs to settle claims as
fast as possible and not let them linger,or the
schedule will suffer. For example,the City had a
$170 million digester project that this happened
on. It delayed progress on the program and legal
claims are still being settled 5 years after the
program has finished.
David Ludwin: The District has a history of and
tries to be proactive with partnering. The District
usually partners in an informal way, and employs
claims adjusters during larger projects on a
routine basis.
27 Garry Brown: When will the micro filtration Obseravtion
research be completed? How does it impact TF at
P2?
Jim Herberg: The research will be completed as
shown on the schedule. Meaningful data should
be available approximately June 2003. Should

of a 15-20 mgd module,and is not considering
replacing all planned TF's with micro filtration.
Bob Ooten: The District is studying micro
filtration and MBR(Membrane Bio Reactor)
technology.
28 Tim Haug: The City of L.A.makes the explicit Recommendation
distinction of stating that they have full biological
treatment,rather than claiming full secondary
treatment. This is meant to clarify that they can
treat biodegradable substances,but does not
include non-biodegradable substances.
29 Garry Brown: When will a decision be made on Observation
how the RO reject(GWRS)be treated.
Jag Salgaonkar: September,2003.
Jim Herberg: In addition toxicity species testing,
currently underway,will wrap up in 3-4 weeks.
The results of this testing will help to determine
the proper technology to use.
Tim Haug: Where does the toxicity,or notion of
increasing toxicity come from?
Jim Herberg: The RO reject water will come
back to the District from the OCWD GWRS
filtration process. OCWD will filter secondary
treated water and send the reject back to the
District. The reject contains a higher
concentration of ammonia than was sent to
OCWD. This condition will exist until 2012
when]the District's AS plant expansion comes on
line and flow sent to GWRS will contain much
lower ammonia concentrations.
Gerry Thibeault: The issue is the concentration
of the filtrate in the discharge from the District to
the ocean. Because 100 mgd of the average daily
flow is sent to GWRS the remaining 140 mgd plus
10 mgd RO reject flow is discharged to the ocean,
but at a higher ammonia concentration.
Joe Mundine: The City of L.A.has a
performance goal and is has no stated effluent
limit for ammonia.
Gerry Thibeault: The District is different
because of the concentration of ammonia in the
discharge. The City of L.A.does not have this

30 Garry Brown/Tim Haug: The indicators of Action Develop
progress need to be simple for the public to easily indicators
comprehend and they must show progress related and graphic
to time and added facilities. This will make the
program length easier to understand, and will let
the public know how much it costs to make these
incremental changes(i.e.how much it costs to go
from 40/40 to 35/35,etc.). It will demonstrate
that the cost expended is not linear with the
benefit realized.
31 Tim Haug: The District seems to be on the right Observation
track with their planning effort. The District
seems to have touched all the key points of
consideration for planning the Program.
Comparing to LA's 13 years,the schedule is more
aggressive.However,incremental progress can be
shown using the performance indicators discussed
earlier.
32 Garry Brown: One more meeting should be Action Schedule
held. Due to the changing schedule and planning the next
assumptions the review panel should have one meeting-
more opportunity to review and discuss a finalized Ludwin
version. In addition,any finalized information
should be made available to the panel prior to the
meeting so it can be reviewed and discussed
intelligently in the meeting.

Dr.Drury asked what was meant by
Partnering in item 26.
David Ludwin explained that it was a
formal process to foster cooperation
between the general contractor,
subcontractors and the Owner. It involves
chartering the team with common goals of
cooperation and sharing in cost savings.
Dr.Drury also asked what the
significance was of biological treatment
verse secondary treatment in item No.28
Tim Haug stated that the City of L.A.
makes a distinction between biological
treatment and secondary treatment
because a physical/chemical could meet a
secondary standard of 30/30 but would
not provide as complete a treatment as a
biological system.
Dr.Drury agreed that a biological system
such as an activated system with a high
SRT could provide a superior
performance
Tim Haug pointed out that in item 26, the
City's digester project cost was $170 m.
In item No.29, Dr.Drury asked what was
meant by "excess"toxicity. Tim Haug
stated that a better term would be
"increasing"toxicity. The Minutes will be
revised.
3 David Ludwin presented the revised Informaion none
project schedule. Time has been added to
the schedule to conduct a study of
activated sludge verse trickling filters at
Plant No.2. Parallel schedules have been
developed for both AS and TF processes
at Plant No.2.Project P1-80, treating BFR
and RO recycle, will be operating by June
2007. Dr.Drury mentioned that he has
experience with BFP treatment and would

be available to review the current
engineering studies which are being
conducted. David Ludwin continued his
review of the schedule and mentioned that
P1-82 would provide a fully functioning,
80mgd, nitrifying AS system by June
2007. Replacement of the existing
trickling filters at Plant No.l will begin
this summer.
At Plant No. 2, P2-47-3 will update the
oxygen feed and distribution system by
mid 2004 and Project P2-74 will
rehabilitate various components of the
HPO system at Plant No.2 by mid 2008.
Project FP2-02/04/05 will provide
additional digester capacity in time to
support additional secondary treatment at
Plant No.2.
4 David Ludwin presented the program Information None
cash flow projections. The project
requires high annual expenditures of more
than $200M for the next eight years and
appears to taper off in 2010. The
projection is for the current CIP and does
not reflect unidentified future projects.
The true future expenditures may not
taper off.
Tom Riegelhuth Questioned the
availability of local engineering resources
to meet the District's aggressive schedule.
Tim Haug What are the Plant 1&2
projects identified as a cost line item`?
There are other required projects that do
not contribute directly to producing
secondary effluent. There are more 30
projects which may cost more than the
secondary treatment projects.
Bob Ghirelli asked if there were any
projects outside of secondary treatment
projects that have a high priority. Jag
Salgaonkar mentioned that a priority
evaluation identified several high priority
projects which are not full secondary
projects.

graph shows a higher% secondary with a
lower% of secondary effluent going to
the ocean. This condition is due to GWRS
diversions in 2007. Tim Haug suggested
that the graph should have a line which

is producing more secondary effluent. The
graph shows CBOD levels. Bob Ooten
stated that the District needs to clarify that
the permit level is based on CBOD and
not TBOD. Garry Brown suggested that
the graphic illustration should reflect the
public's desire to produce secondary
effluent

more comments on the schedule. Tim
Haug stated that the Headworks project at
Plant No2 should not delay the secondary
treatment projects. He suggested that the

evaluating methods to allow both projects
to proceed with out delays. David
Ludwin stated that the District wishes to
establish a reasonable and achievable
schedule and improvements will be made
along the way as the projects develop.

DURING SECONDARY TREATMENT IMPLEMENTATION
APRIL 16, 2003
SPECIAL BOARD WORKSHOP
The District's Ocean Discharge Permit application submitted in December 2002
contained a draft Operations Plan for effluent water quality. Based on the revised
full secondary treatment program schedule, the Operations Plan needs to be
updated and resubmitted. The four attached charts are meant to replace the
materials submitted in the 2002 Ocean Discharge Permit application.
The four charts illustrate the key criteria for monitoring the District's ocean
discharge: (1) wastewater effluent flow (in million gallon per day); (2) percent
secondary treatment; (3) concentrations of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
and total suspended solids (TSS) (in parts per million); and (4) mass emissions
(in metric tonnes per year).
In general, the charts show that the District's effluent concentrations of BOD and
TSS will fluctuate until 2007 as secondary treatment capacity is taken out of
service for planned repairs. In 2007, the secondary treatment facility repairs will
be complete and the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) will be
started. Once GWRS is operational, the District's effluent concentrations of BOD
and TSS will increase. However, the total mass, or metric tonnes, discharged to
the ocean will be reduced to current levels. In 2011 and 2012, the
concentrations and mass emissions of both BOD and TSS will decrease with the
completion of the Plant No.2 and Plant No.1 secondary treatment plant
expansions, respectively. The District's concentrations of both BOD and TSS
drop below 30 parts per million, the goal of the program in December 2012.
Chart Descriptions
Chart 1 illustrates the projected wastewater flow to be treated by the District and
the amount of secondary effluent discharged to the ocean. Chart 1 contains the
following information in million gallons per day (mgd):
1.) Projected wastewater to be treated at the District — "Total Wastewater
Effluent (mgd)."
2.) Estimated quantity of secondary treatment to be provided by the
District — "Total Secondary Effluent (mgd)."
3.) Estimated quantity of secondary effluent to be discharged to the ocean
— "Secondary Effluent to the Ocean (mgd)."

Chart 1 illustrates that wastewater flows to the District will increase over the next
20 years due to population growth in the service area. Chart 1 also shows that
the District will continue to provide secondary effluent for water reclamation
which accounts for the difference between "Total Secondary Effluent" and
"Secondary Effluent to the Ocean." The District's secondary treatment will
fluctuate until 2007 as secondary treatment capacity is taken out of service for
planned repairs. This is indicated on the charts by milestones dates 1 through 7.
In 2007, the secondary treatment facility repairs will be complete and the
Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) will be started. This is indicated
on the chart by milestone 8. Once GWRS is operational, 104 mgd of secondary
effluent will be diverted from the ocean for reclamation. In 2011 and 2012, the
amount of secondary treatment will increase with the completion of the Plant
No.2 and Plant No.1 secondary treatment plant expansions, respectively. This is
shown by milestones 9 and 10.
Chart 2 is similar to Chart 1 except it illustrates projected secondary treatment to
be provided by the District during the implementation of the secondary treatment
program as a percentage. Chart 2 contains the following information:
1.) Estimated percent secondary treatment provided by the District—
"Total OCSD Flow Percent Secondary Treatment."
2.) Estimated percentage of the total ocean discharge receiving secondary
treatment discharged to the Ocean —"OCSD Ocean Discharge Percent
Secondary Treatment."
This type of chart has been traditionally used by the District to track the
percentage our ocean discharge receiving secondary treatment. Prior to the
Board's decision in July 2002, the operational strategy was to maintain a blend of
50% advanced primary treatment to 50% secondary treatment for ocean
discharge. This chart also shows the District will continue to provide secondary
effluent for water reclamation. This accounts for the difference between "Total
OCSD Flow Percent Secondary Treatment" and "OCSD Ocean Discharge
Percent Secondary Treatment"for 2000 through 2012.
Chart 2 also illustrates that the District's percent secondary treatment will
fluctuate until 2007 as secondary treatment capacity is taken out of-service for
planned repairs. This is indicated on the charts by milestones 1 through 7. In
2007, the secondary treatment facility repairs will be complete and the GWRS
will be started. This is indicated on the chart by milestone 8. Once GWRS is
operational, and the total volume of wastewater discharged to the ocean will be
reduced by 104 mgd and the District's percent secondary effluent to the ocean
will be reduced to approximately 55%. In 2011 and 2012, the percentage of
secondary treatment provided will increase with the completion of the Plant No.2
and Plant No.1 secondary treatment plant expansions, respectively. This is
shown by milestones 9 and 10.

Chart 3 depicts the effluent mass emissions, in metric tones per year, of the key
wastewater effluent components BOD and TSS discharged to the ocean. Chart
2 contains the following information:
1.) Projected effluent BOD—`Biochemical Oxygen Demand
(BOD)(MT/yr)."
2.) Projected effluent TSS—"Total Suspended Solids (TSS) (MT/yr)."
Chart 3 shows the District's effluent mass emissions of BOD and TSS will
fluctuate until 2007 as secondary treatment capacity is taken out of service for
planned repairs. This is indicated on the charts by milestones 1 through 7. In
2007, the secondary treatment facility repairs will be complete and the GWRS
will be started. This is indicated on the chart by milestone 8. Once GWRS is
operational, the District's effluent mass emissions of BOD and TSS will be less
than current discharge levels. In 2011 and 2012, the mass emissions of both
BOD and TSS will decrease with the completion of the Plant No.2 and Plant No.1
secondary treatment plant expansions, respectively. This is shown by
milestones 9 and 10.
Chart 4 depicts the projected effluent BOD and TSS concentrations of the
wastewater effluent discharged to ocean. Chart 2 contains the following
information:
1.) Projected effluent BOD at the District—"Biochemical Oxygen Demand
(BOD) (ppm).r,
2.) Projected effluent TSS at the District—"Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
(ppm)."
Chart 4 also shows the District's effluent concentrations of BOD and TSS will
fluctuate until 2007 as secondary treatment capacity is taken out of service for
planned repairs. This is indicated on the charts by milestones 1 through 7. In
2007, the secondary treatment facility repairs will be complete and the GWRS
will be started. This is indicated on the chart by milestone 8. Once GWRS is
operational, the District's effluent concentrations of BOD and TSS will increase
until the full secondary treatment facilities can be constructed. BOD is expected
to increase to about 87 parts per million (ppm), which is below the 1999 Ocean
Discharge Permit limit of 109 ppm. TSS is also expected to increase slightly but
will remain near current discharge levels. However, as shown in Chart 3 the total
mass, or tonnes, discharged to the ocean, for both BOD and TSS, will be
reduced to less than 2003 levels. In 2011 and 2012, the concentrations of both
BOD and TSS will decrease with the completion of the Plant No.2 and Plant No.1
secondary treatment plant expansions, respectively. This is shown by milestones
9 and 10.
