In November 2006,the voters approved the first installment of that 20-year vision to rebuild California. The infrastructure package included water and flood measures in Propositions 1E and 84.These measures provided $4.9 billion for flood management and approximately$1 billion for integrated regional water management including wastewater recycling, groundwater storage, conservation, and other water management actions. In January 2007,the Administration proposed an additional $5.95 billion to augment the existing funding for the SGP through 2016. These new investments in water management will address population growth, climate change and environmental needs. The proposed $5.95 billion will ensure reliable water supplies and help California cope with climate change effects: • Water Storage-$4.5 billion Water Resources Water Conservation ($2.5 billion general obligation bonds Stewardship $0.2bRGon and $2.0 billion revenue bonds) $0.25 billion • Delta Sustainability-$1.0 billion (general obligation bonds) Delta SustainabiNRy:) _ • Water Resources Stewardship-$250 million $1.0billion M e d billion - (general obligation bonds) • Water Conservation -$200 million Watar Storage-$4.sbiwan (general obligation bonds) 02MIo-arena!boads) Accomplishments to Date Much progress has been made so far. Three policy documents outline the issues and strategies already considered to ensure California's water future: • California Water Plan Update (2005)is a strategic plan for meeting future water demands. It recommends two initiatives to ensure reliable water supplies: integrated regional water management and improved water management systems. • Flood Warnings:Responding to California's Flood Crisis (2005)called for flood management improvements and reforms to reduce the potential for such disasters in California. • Progress on Incorporating Climate Change Into Management of California's Water Resources (2006)provided the first detailed analysis of climate change on water and flood management. To help put these plans into action, the Governor and Legislature have consistently supported major investments in water management and flood protection. General Fund support for the •E Department of Water Resources flood ]n management program has grown from ,,, k $14.4 million in 2004-05 to $55.3 million in 2006-07.Assembly Bill 142 provided ,p " .. an additional$500 million to fund urgently-needed flood protection projects throughout the state. 2003-20ot 2004_2005 20M-20M 20 -2007 General Fund support for DWR Division of Hood Management THE CALIFORNIA STRATEGIC GROWTH PLAN 3 Following the Governor's emergency declaration for the flood system in February 2006, key repairs to 33 critical erosion sites protecting Central Valley communities were completed in record time.The state is now advancing funds and working with the federal government to repair 71 additional levee erosion sites damaged in last year's floods. An unprecedented effort to evaluate 350 miles of urban levees for hidden defects has begun, and the state is leading a coordinated effort involving federal and local agencies to avoid a major flood disaster in California. 2008 Bond Measure for Water Supply, Flood Management and Conveyance Two critical areas remain unaddressed that are Reduction in Snowpack due to Climate Change vital to ensuring that California has reliable water supplies and is able to cope with the effects that climate change will have on water supply and flood protection: storage and conveyance. 15MAFTotal Current trends and climate models suggest a loss Snow Pack Storage of at least a quarter of the snowmelt runoff by (1956-2000 average) 2050. Warmer weather would ultimately mean more flooding in the winter, and less runoff from snow during the spring. 25%reduction With greater conservation measures and by By2050 expanding the state's water management and delivery system, including surface storage, groundwater storage and conveyance facilities, California can prepare for these changes. In this phase of the SGP,the Administration proposes a total of$5.95 billion through 2016. Of this amount, general obligation bonds will provide$3.95 billion and revenue bonds will provide$2.0 billion.The proposal includes: Water Storage -$4.5 billion ($2.5 billion general obligation bonds and $2 billion revenue bonds). This funding will be dedicated to the development of additional storage, which would most likely occur Skes Reservoir near Sites on the west side of the Sacramento Valley and Temperance Flat on the San Joaquin River east of Fresno. Water supply yield from the proposed reservoirs U ipwaP.EE'riat could provide up to 500,000 acre-feet per year. Additional benefits could include better flood protection, water for fisheries management and wildlife refuges, and improvements in drinking water quality. The water storage costs would be shared-$2 billion in general obligation bonds would be used to finance the state's portion of the projects for benefits such as flood control, ecosystem restoration, and water quality improvements that serve the state in general. The non-state portion would be funded from$2 billion in revenue bonds secured by contract payments from the water suppliers who would benefit from the new storage. In addition to investments in surface storage,$500 million in general obligation bonds will be dedicated for grants to augment local investment in groundwater storage projects, providing an additional 500,000 acre-feet of annual yield. 4-THE CALIFORNIA STRATEGIC GROWTH PLAN Delta Sustainability-$1.0 billion (general obligation bonds). Leveraging anticipated federal and local funding sources,this funding will help implement a sustainable resource management plan for the Delta. In September 2006,the Governor signed an executive order to develop a "durable vision for sustainable management of the Delta," a unique natural resource that provides estuarine habitat for resident and migratory fish and ;r•Y_y birds including threatened and endangered species. It is a prime recreational and cultural destination as well as California's most significant source of drinking and agricultural water. However, scientists have affirmed that the current health of the Delta's '} ecosystem and its use as a reliable water conveyance corridor - are not sustainable over the long-term. These investments would pay a portion of the public benefit costs and leverage significant water user investments in upgrading water conveyance The Delta infrastructure through the Delta. Recent findings suggest a two in three chance of catastrophic flooding in or near the Delta in the next 50 years due to earthquakes or storms. An earthquake could liquefy the foundations of Delta levees. Major highway corridors could be inundated. Intrusion of salt water in the Delta would shut down the Central Valley and State Water Projects for months and cause long-term reduction in water quality when service was resumed. The economy of California and the nation would suffer major negative impacts. This collective investment will help reduce the seismic risk to water supplies derived from the Delta, protect drinking water quality and reduce conflict between water management and environmental protection. Water Resources Stewardship - $250 million (general obligation bonds).This funding would support implementation of Klamath River restoration, provide for elements of Salton Sea restoration identified in the Salton Sea Restoration Act and related legislation enacted in 2003, contribute to restoration actions on the San Joaquin River, and supplement A magnitude 6.5 or greater earthquake in the Delta could result successful restoration projects on the in 30levee breaks and draw salt water from the San Francisco Sacramento River and its tributaries as Bay into the Delta, cutting off water deliveries to23million well as in the Delta. Californians. Water Conservation - $200 million (general obligation bonds.This funding will augment$1 billion pruvided by Proposiiion 84 and support the Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) program. IRWM encourages regional strategies to protect communities from drought, protect and improve water quality, and reduce dependence on imported water. The proposed funding will provide targeted water conservation grants to local communities. These investments in water conservation will yield about 200,000 acre-feet per year-enough to meet the water needs for about 400,000 families. Funded projects could also protect water quality, conserve energy, reduce urban and agricultural runoff, and reduce urban effluent.

We also have enclosed a copy of our previous letter,dated December 20,2006, which identifies other deficiencies in the proposed addendum. Please include these lepers in the record of your proceedings concerning the above matter as required by Public Resources Code section 21167.6(e). Kern County objects to your approval of the Addendum to Final Program Environmental Impact Report(PEIR)for the 1999 Strategic Plan because it fails to comply with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA`J and the decision of the California Court of Appeal in County Sanitation Dist. No. 2 v County of Kem 127 CalAppAth 1544(2005)in the following additional ways: 1. OCSD failed to comply with its obligation under CEQA to provide notice to and to consult with responsible agencies, trustee agencies or other public agencies who may have an interest in the proposed projects discussed in the Addendum, including Kern County and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District("STVAPCD'). OCSD also failed to provide any notice or opportunity for the public to review and comment on the adequacy of the Addendum. 2. The Addendum and responses to comments are inadequate because they rely upon the analysis of traffic, air quality and noise impacts contained in a thirteen-year-old Negative Declaration prepared by the Regional Water 225 BItOADWAY,Sun-u 1900,SAN r)rrrtaa,CAI.11"OFMIA 92101 TI+.j_619-687-0288 Recelved 28-02-200T 15:28 From-619 234 6466 To-000 Page 002 618-234-6466 p. 3 HOGAN G[mNav D1cK Board of Directors February 29,2007 Page 2 Quality Control Board ("RWQCB') and thus fail to reflect the changed circumstances which have in Kern County with respect to such impacts. 3. The Addendum and responses to comments fail to analyze the physical impacts to roads on the biosolids haul routes in Kern County as required by Appendix G, section XV(d). We previously provided you with copies of information which OCSD has had in its possession since 1999, showing the substantial damage to Kern County roads caused by the incompatibility of heavy trucks hauling biosolids using roads designed for farm purposes. 4. The Addendum and responses to comments fail to analyze the potential land use impacts of the 2000 Magan contract. The fact that OCSD is finally performing environmental review of the 2000 Magan contract, seven years later than it should have, does not mean the Addendum can ignore the existing conditions with respect to the project. In particular,the Addendum and responses to comments fail to address the land use impacts, including conflicts with adopted local ordinances, of the 2000 Magan contract in light of Kings County Ordinance No. 592, which allows the land application of only EQ-Compost on the portions of Tole Ranch in Kings County,and Kern County's Measure E, which prohibits the land application of biosolids in the unincorporated area of Kern County. Among other things, the Addendum and responses to comments fail to analyze the potential impacts to air quality that may result from increases in the length and direction of OCSD's biosolids truck haul routes caused by changes in these ordinances. Since OCSD has asserted in various lawsuits that these ordinances will require it to haul its biosolids longer distances to Arizona,with attendant traffic and air quality impacts,the Addendum must analyze these potential impacts. 5. The Addendum states that biosolids subject to the 2000 Magan contract are land applied in Kern County pursuant to waste discharge requiremerns issued by the RWQCB Order 94-253. However, the State Water Quality Control Board adopted General Order 2004-0012DWQ in July, 2004, which superseded RWQCB Order 94-253. There is no mention in the Addendum of the fact that;on May 31,2001,the RWQCB notified Magan in writing that his existing waste discharge requirement orders were rescinded and he must apply for coverage under the State Water Board's Gcncral Order. 6. The Addendum also fails to address the fact that,on December 13, 2006,the RWQCB notified OCSD and Magan,in writing,that"the existing Ordcrs are ten or more years old and not fully reflective of current regulations and site operations." The RWQCB requested specific information from OCSD and Magan to enable it to update the orders. Finally, the RWQCB requested a Recelved 28-02-2007 15:28 From-619 234 6466 To-OCSO Page 003 Carol 619-234-6466 p. 4 HoGAN GumEV DICK Board of Directors February 28,2007 Page 3 meeting with OCSD and Magan"to discuss the pending issuance of updated WDRs and the rescission of the current WDRs." There is no mention in the Addendum or the responses to comments concerning the RWQCB's request, its intention to rescind the existing orders and to issue updated orders,or the applicability of State Water Board General Order 2004-0012DWQ. A copy of the RWQCB's request is enclosed. 7. The Addendum and responses to comments continue to ignore the mandate of the Court of Appeal in County Sanitation Dist. No. 2 v. County of Kern, 127 Cal.AppAth 1544 (2005), to consider the potential environmental impacts of their actions on the welfare of the surrounding region. The Addendum fails to comply with the decision of the Court of Appeal because it fails to discuss potential impacts on the regional welfare of shipping increasing amounts of biosolids out of Orange County for disposal in other counties, including Kern and Kings counties. R. The Addendum also fails to address the SJVAPCD's Proposed New Rule 4565, which prescribes requirements for the land application of biosolids, including a requirement that biosolids be incorporated into the soil wihtin three hours after delivery to the land application site. In light of the San Joaquin Air Basin's serious non attainment status for the federal 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards,the Addendum's failure to consider this regulation renders its analysis of potential air quality impacts inadequate. The Addendum is clearly inadequate and fails to comply with the requirements of CEQA and the decision of the Court of Appeal. Accordingly, we request that you reject the staff recommendation to adopt the Addendum and instead direct staff to prepare an initial study leading to either an EIR or negative declaration that adequately studies the potential environmental impacts of the proposed projects.

But without fail, we work hard to protect the lives and lifestyles of the 2.5 million people we're charged -� with serving. Quite simply, we do that by treating about 240 million gallons of wastewater - enough to fill Anaheim Stadium three times - every day. Nearly 80 percent of that water comes from homes - sinks, toilets, showers, laundry and dishwashers. The rest comes from businesses, retail stores, hotels, - offices, restaurants, � t i manufacturers and other industries.

The 10 year 1i ()c si) - Makin}; I'Ossi1)1v 17 OCSD Financial Results ■ The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a series of large construction improvements in progress or planned over the next several years that will allow the District to provide an appropriate level of service to our rate payers. The CIP provides for the management and implementation of these improvements. The outlay for the CIP in FY 2005-06 was $260.8 million. ■ Debt Service is the cost of repaying long-term debt. Long-term debt financing allows the District to complete large multi-year capital projects by providing funds not always immediately available. The outlay for debt service in FY 2005-06 was $41 .9 million. ■ Operating Expenses allocates resources to operate, maintain and manage our sewage collection, treatment and disposal system and any associated administrative or technical requirements. Operating expenses for FY 2005-06 were $109.7 million. ■ Intradistrict Transfers are expenditures related to other affiliated agencies. Intradistrict Transfers for FY 2005-06 were $9.3 million. ■ The District's "AK Rating is one of the highest for a government agency. To maintain this rating, the District adheres to its 2001 Debt Policy and coverage ratios requirements. This Board-adopted policy serves as a guide in the management of existing debts and in the issuance of future debt.

District total expenses increased $18.6 million, or 10.6 percent primarily due to increases of $7.5 million in depreciation, $7.3 million in non-operating expense, and $3.8 million in operating expenses. The increase in depreciation is due to the recent completion of $141 .9 million in construction project assets that have entered their first year of depreciation. Operating expenses alone have increased only 3.7 percent over the prior year. Net assets increased $47.9 million, or 4.6 percent, to $1 ,089 million in FY 2005-06 over the prior year. Net capital assets increased $189.5 million, or 16.1 percent, due primarily to the continuing Capital Improvement Program that includes construction of the Groundwater Replenishment System. The Groundwater Replenishment System project continued to move forward with an estimated commissioning slated for Fall 2007. This joint project with the Orange County Water District will be the largest water reclamation project in the nation and divert up to 70 million gallons of water a day from the District's ocean discharge during peak winter storms. The District has budgeted $248.6 million for this project through FY 2007-08. Through FY 2005-06, $150.9 million had been incurred including an additional $83.7 million in outlays for FY 2005-06. Long-term liabilities increased $186.4 million, or 30.6 percent due to the issuance of $200 million in bonded debt to assist in the financing of the District's 10-year $2.4 billion Capital Improvement Program. I Looking Ahead In June 2006, the Board of Directors approved the District's FY 2006-07 operating and capital improvement budget at $545.1 million, or a 19.5 percent increase over the prior year. This overall increase is comprised of a $6.5 million, or 5.1 percent increase in the operating budget, an $1 1 . 1 million, or 20.3 percent increase in debt service requirements, and a $70.9 million, or 26.2 percent increase in cash outlays for construction projects. The increases in both debt service and CIP outlays is related to the completion of the District's $2.4 billion Capital Improvement Program including the Board's mandate to meet secondary treatment standards by December 31 , 2012. Increases in the operating budget consist of the following: ■ Salaries and Benefits, $4.8 Million - Costs will increase $1 .8 million as a result of existing collective bargaining agreement impacts, including health and welfare increases. The other significant impact is a $2.4 million, or 25 percent increase in retirement premiums. Our rising retirement premiums are consistent with increased costs throughout California. ■ Operating Materials and Supplies, $1 .4 Million - As the requirement for better quality effluent increases, so does the need for chemicals (primarily bleach) to treat the regions wastewater. These chemical increases reflect price increases of 34 percent partially offset by staff's optimization of treatment facilities. ■ Repairs & Maintenance, $2.2 Million - Various repairs at the OCSD operation plants, including diffuser replacement and digester cleaning, will increase the repairs and maintenance budget. ■Contractual Services, $2.9 Million - The major component of this category are biosolids removal and transportation costs. These costs continue to increase as acceptable locations for biosolids disposal become less accessible. ■ Utilities, $2.7 Million - Despite reductions by using natural gas, total utilities costs will increase due to rising electricity costs.

Sanitary Districts Costa Mesa Midway City Construction Is Underway at Front Entrance of Plant 1 Water Districts Two construction projects are impacting the front entrance to Plant 1 adjacent to the Irvine Ranch Administration Building parking lot. The Ellis Avenue Trunk Sewer Replacement project is currently underway and is the first OCSD project ever to utilize trenchless technology. This technology was chosen due to the challenging constraints such as a street full of existing utilities and the injection wells along Ellis Avenue that protect our drinking water from seawater intrusion. This project will replace a 36-inch existing pipe with a 66-inch fiberglass reinforced pipe by using a tunnel-boring machine. To maintain world-class leadership in wastewater and water resource management. `oJNR,i SPNir, Dy U � 2 Board of Directors Page 2 February 21, 2007 The tunnel-boring machine will be submerged through a 40-ft deep shaft located by the front entrance. Throughout the 18-month project, the machine will move underground from Plant 1 approximately 6,000 feet on Ellis Avenue just west of Brookhurst Street. The second project is construction of the new Ellis Avenue Pump Station. This project replaces the a 1952 pump station located at the intersection of Ellis Avenue and Bushard Street. It will address capacity deficiencies, operational and maintenance requirements and ease the accessibility of the station. It is expected to break ground sometime in March and scheduled to be completed in Fall 2008. OCSD Participates in Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases Emissions Reduction Efforts There is substantial scientific evidence that global warming, due to Greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, is real and is attributed to human activities. Impact on climate changes could result in the rise of ocean level, saltwater intrusion, decrease in hydropower, flooding and drainage of collection system, destruction of transportation infrastructure, and increase in stormwater flow due to heavy rains. Last year, the Governor signed the Global Warming Solution Act (known as AB 32) that requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop and implement control measures that would reduce emissions of GHG (Methane, Carbon Dioxide and others) to their 1990 levels by 2020. Implementation of these controls will begin in 2010. CARB is currently developing series of regulations that require facilities to prepare and submit their GHG emissions inventory by the end of this year. CARB is also identifying industries that will be required to meet early goals for GHG emissions reduction, working together with the Local Government, California Energy Commission (CEC) and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Staff, together with other wastewater treatment agencies, is actively participating in CARB working group activities in order to properly identify the control measures directed to our industry and reduce their economic impact to our agencies. OCSD has also joined the California Climate Registry organization to ensure that the 4J,,i SSN11,l/oN i 9 Board of Directors Page 3 February 21, 2007 methods developed for estimating GHG's from wastewater treatment plants are appropriate, and is currently organizing a statewide pooled program to inventory GHG emissions from our plants in the most cost-efficient way. OCSD to Host a Presentation on Sewer Lateral Ownership OCSD will host a seminar on Sewer Lateral Ownership on Thursday March 15. A flyer with complete information is attached for your review. Regulatory requirements on owning and operating public sewer systems have increased greatly since 2002. Focus is also now moving towards privately owned and operated systems. The lateral is the common name for the connecting pipe between a private building and the publicly owned sewer. It is usually located under the city street or paved alleyway. Performance problems with private systems contribute to sewer spills, blockages from roots, and extra flow into our system and treatment plants from damaged or illegally connected piping. A few cities in our area have taken responsibility for a portion of the lateral. This brief seminar will focus on their case studies. Most of the local area cities and sewering agencies are expected to attend this event. Contact Nick Arhontes at 714-593-7210 or narhontes(a-D.ocsd.com for more information.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Ed Torres, P.E.. Director of Technical Services SUBJECT: Biosolids Management GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Consider and Approve an Addendum to the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the 1999 Strategic Plan to comply with the Court of Appeal's holding in County Sanitation District No. 2 of Los Angeles County v. County of Kern (2005). 2. Consider and Approve an Addendum to the 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR in conjunction with the Board's consideration and final approval of an "Agreement for the Management of Biosolids" with EnerTech Environmental California, LLC to manage biosolids at their facility in Rialto, California and an "Amendment No. 8 to an Agreement" with Synagro to manage biosolids at their facility at the South Kern County Industrial Center ("SKIC"). 3. Final Approval of the EnerTech Contract and Synagro Contract, the CEQA contingencies having been satisfied. SUMMARY • In 2005, the Court of Appeal in County Sanitation District No. 2 of Los Angeles County v. County of Kern (CSD No. 2) held that the Orange County Sanitation District ("OCSD") was required to perform California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review prior to entering into a biosolids management contract with Shane Magan for the land application of biosolids at Tule Ranch in Kern County in January, 2000 ("2000 Magan Contract"). • Pursuant to CEQA and in compliance with the CSD No. 2 holding, OCSD staff has prepared an Addendum to the 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR ("Biosolids Contracts Addendum"), which evaluates the environmental impacts of the 2000 Magan Contract. • In addition to evaluating the environmental impacts of the 2000 Magan Contract, the Biosolids Contracts Addendum evaluates the environmental impacts of two additional biosolids management contracts that the Board preliminarily approved earlier this year. The EnerTech Contract which requires EnerTech to transport and process biosolids at its facility in Rialto, California and the Synagro Contract which requires Synagro to transport and process biosolids at its new compositing facility in Kern County. Each of these contracts contained a provision that made OCSD's obligations to perform under the contracts contingent upon the successful completion of OCSD's environmental review of the proposed activities contemplated under the contracts pursuant to CEQA. • Upon the Board's approval of the Biosolids Contracts Addendum, the contingencies contained in the EnerTech and Synagro contracts will be satisfied and the District will be legally bound to perform its obligations under the contract. • The Board, as the lead agency and decision-making body for purposes of the District's biosolids management program, is required to consider the Biosolids Contracts Addendum Form No.DW-102 Agenda Report—Board Revised: 2-15-07 LB:wh H:\dept\agenda\Board Agenda Reports\2007 Board Agenda Reports\0207\ltem 8(c).Biosolids.doc Page 1 along with the 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR and approve the Addendum prior to undertaking its obligations under the EnerTech and Synagro contracts. • As documented in the Biosolids Contracts Addendum, neither the 2000 Magan Contract. nor the EnerTech or Synagro contracts would result in any new environmental impacts. or a substantial increase in the severity of any environmental impacts that were previously analyzed and addressed in the 1999 Strategic Plan EIR. The Biosolids Contracts Addendum provides a "site specific" or "project level" analysis of the potential environmental impacts of hauling and processing biosolids at each of the facilities described in the three (3) contracts. • This item was previously scheduled to be acted upon by the Board at their December 20, 2006 Board meeting. Staff removed this item to address issues that were raised by Kern County just prior to the December Board meeting. These issues have been addressed to the satisfaction of staff and counsel.

Each contract essentially entails two components (1) biosolids hauling and (2) biosolids processing at the receiver site. The following additional specific information is provided for each of the three (3) biosolids contracts: a. 2000 Magan Contract The Board's approval of the 2000 Magan Contract superseded an earlier biosolids contract with Magan that the Board approved in 1996. OCSD actually began shipping biosolids to Tule Ranch in 1997 pursuant to the 1996 contract. The 2000 Magan Contract modified payment terms, but generally did not alter the obligations and duties of the parties relating to the hauling and land application of Class B biosolids at Tule Ranch. As noted in the Biosolids Contracts Addendum, based on a comparison of a two-year period before and a three-year period after the Board approved the 2000 Magan Contract, OCSD hauled an additional 26,650 Wet Tons Per Year("WTPY") of biosolids to Tule Ranch. This increase in biosolids production resulted in a corresponding increase of approximately 1,105 annual truck trips or approximately six (6) truck trips per day based on OCSD's typical five (5) day, Monday through Friday, hauling schedule. When the Board approved the 2000 Magan Contract, Mr. Magan was already accepting and land disposing biosolids at Tule Ranch pursuant to four (4) Regional Water Quality Control Board approvals (permits) issued in 1994 and 1996. These permits authorized the land application of biosolids on approximately 5,900 acres, including 4,100 acres in Kern County (Waste Discharge Requirements#94-253, Notice of Intent ("NOI") Identification Nos. 95-14046 and 95-14047) and another 1,800 acres in neighboring Kings County (NOI Identification No. 95- 14035). b. EnerTech Contract As a result of OCSD's Long-Range Biosolids Planning efforts, OCSD staff and its Biosolids Advisory Committee recommended that the Board award EnerTech a biosolids management contact. The Long-Range Plan looked at a variety of technologies and their respective markets to see which would be the most sustainable in the long-term based on a triple bottom line approach (economics, environmental, and societal criteria). EnerTech's proposal was found to be the best proposal matching for these criteria for OCSD's situation. OCSD ♦ P.O.Box 8127 ♦ Fountain Valley,CA 92728-8127 ♦ (714)962-2411 a This EnerTech Contract commits OCSD to pay a set price for EnerTech's services and a set amount of biosolids daily, but does not require OCSD to front any capital costs. EnerTech has coordinated venture capital money from private individuals as well as the State of California financing based on its renewable energy production. The proposed EnerTech Contract requires EnerTech to haul and process an average of 200 Wet Tons Per Day ("WTPD") of biosolids at its facility in the City of Rialto for a term of ten (10) years with four, five year options. EnerTech's biosolids processing facility uses a patented SlurryCarbTM technology to convert biosolids to a dried fuel called E-Fuel. E-Fuel has a heating value equivalent to a low-grade coal, but has the added benefit of being from a renewable resource. EnerTech will be supplying their E-Fuel to the nearby cement plant to augment their power supply. The ash from the E-Fuel will be used as a cement additive, which means this process has zero resulting solid waste. The EnerTech facility will use EnerTech's proprietary SlurryCarb technology and is designed to process approximately 625 WTPD of biosolids to service the needs of various public agencies in the Region. The EnerTech Contract offers long-term benefits as OCSD strives to balance economics, environmental, and societal criteria to create a sustainable biosolids management program. The environmental and societal benefits of OCSD choosing EnerTech include: • EnerTech is leading the next generation of biosolids management options with its environmentally-friendly, renewable energy technology. • The location of EnerTech's regional biosolids processing facility will reduce the overall emissions generated since it is 200—350 miles closer to OCSD's treatment plants than our other long-range biosolids management options. • EnerTech has garnered the support of local officials by offering value-added services. • Diversity is a key factor in OCSD's long-term biosolids program's sustainability. This means "not putting all our eggs in one basket" by using multiple management facilities and multiple vendors in multiple locations. Energy is a new option for OCSD that increases our biosolids product diversity and compliments our existing composted-soil amendment and farm-fertilizing biosolids products. In July, 2005, the Board considered and approved the terms of the EnerTech Contract. However, OCSD's obligation to perform under the EnerTech Contract is contingent upon the successful completion of the CEQA process. The Board is therefore being asked to (1) consider the Biosolids Contract Addendum along with the 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR and approve the Addendum to satisfy this contingency and (2) to reaffirm its approval of the EnerTech contract. Synagro Contract The proposed Synagro contract requires Synagro to haul and process "a minimum of 250 WTPD of biosolids" for composting at the Synagro facility at the South Kern Industrial Center. This corresponds to approximately ten (10) haul truck trips per day. The Synagro facility has the capacity to process a maximum of 400,000 tons per year of organic waste, including biosolids, pre-consumer food waste, pre-screened and ground greenwaste, and manure. This organic waste would be mixed with up to 270,000 tons per year of"bulking agents" or"agricultural by-products" that include, for example, wood chips, pistachio and almond hulls, screened greenwaste, cotton gin waste and orchard trimmings. The recycling LB:wh H:ldeptlagenda\Board Agenda Reports12007 Board Agenda Reports10207Utem 8(c).Biosolids-aft 1.doc Revised: 2-16-07 process would generate 670,000 tons of organic material per year. The organic material will be recycled or mixed with greenwaste to produce approximately 550,000 cubic yards per year of Exceptional Quality (EQ) fertilizer/soil amendment. The term EQ is used to designate a product that meets criteria for pathogen reduction to negligible levels, vector attraction and reduction practices to prevent excessive metals additions. On April 26, 2006, the Board considered and approved the terms of the Synagro Contract. However, like the EnerTech contract, OCSD's obligation to perform under the Synagro Contract is contingent upon the successful completion of the CEQA process. The Board is therefore being asked to (1) consider the Biosolids Contract Addendum along with the 1999 Strategic Plan and approve the Addendum to satisfy this contingency and (2)to reaffirm its earlier approval of the Synagro Contract. ALTERNATIVES (1) Not consider and approve the Biosolids Contracts Addendum, and instead require additional environmental analysis to satisfy the Court of Appeal's holding in CSD No. 2. (2) Not consider and approve the Biosolids Contracts Addendum, and instead require additional analysis to satisfy the CEQA review contingencies contained in the EnerTech and Synagro contracts. (3) No final approval of the EnerTech and Synagro pending additional analysis pursuant to CEQA. CEQA FINDINGS Pursuant to CEQA, the OCSD staff has prepared the Biosolids Contract Addendum to the 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR. In October 1999, the OCSD Board certified the 1999 PEIR and approved the 1999 Strategic Plan.' The 1999 Strategic Plan included a comprehensive biosolids management component and the environmental effect of this component was analyzed in the 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR. The PEIR assumed and evaluated a significant long-term increase in biosolids production at OCSD's treatment plants. The 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR assumed and analyzed an increase in biosolids production from the 1996/1997 baseline" level of 180,000 wet tons per year ("WTPY") and 7,200 annual haul truck trips to up to 421,000 WrPY" and 16,840 annual haul truck trips over a 20 year period. (See 1999 Strategic Plan Draft PEIR, Table 3-24). This biosolids production increase corresponds to an additional 240,000 WTPY of biosolids and 9,640 annual haul truck trips. The 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR assumed that an additional thirty- eight (38) haul truck trips per day (from twenty-seven (27) in 1998 to a maximum of sixty-five (65) in 2020) would be required to accommodate the increase in biosolids production. (See Final 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR, Table 6.2-2). The purpose of the Addendum is to conduct"second tier" or"site specific" environmental review of 2000 Contract, EnerTech Contract and Synagro Contract in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15168, subsections (c) (2) and (c) (4). Because these Contracts concern biosolids management and biosolids management was a component of the overall program evaluated in the PEIR, these contracts are considered "subsequent activities" in the program for purposes of CEQA Guidelines section 15168. ' Due to the sheer length of the 1999 Strategic Plan Final PEIR,the Final PEIR is not included as an attachment to this Agenda Report.However,the 1999 Strategic Plan PEIR is available for Board review at 10844 Ellis Ave.Fountain Valley,CA. LB:wh H:Ideptlagenda\Board Agenda Reports12007 Board Agenda Reports1020711tem 8(c).Biosolids-aft 1.doc Revised: 2-16-07 4 r This Addendum documents that the "site specific" impacts of the proposed contracts do not require the preparation of a "subsequent" EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15162 because there are no new or substantially more severe significant environmental effects that were not previously considered or addressed in the 1999 PEIR. In addition, no new information of substantial importance has surfaced that was not known or could not have been known at the time the PER was certified that shows that the project would have some new or more severe impact.

INTRODUCTION The Orange County Sanitation District ("OCSD"), as lead agency, has prepared this Addendum to the 1999 Strategic Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report ("1999 PEIR") pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The purpose of this Addendum is two fold. First, OCSD has prepared this Addendum to comply with the California Court of Appeal decision in County Sanitation District No. 2 of Los Angeles County v. County of Kern, 127 Cal. App. 4th 1544 (2005)("CSD No. 2 v. Kern"). In CSD No. 2 v. Kern, the Court of Appeal held that OCSD should have conducted CEQA review prior to the OCSD Board of Director's (the "Board") January, 2000 approval of a contract with Shane Magan for the hauling and land disposal of Class B biosolids at Tule Ranch in Kern County ("2000 Contract"). Second, the Addendum has been prepared to evaluate the environmental effects of two additional biosolids contracts that will be considered by the OCSD Board of Directors. One contract is between OCSD and EnerTech Environmental, Inc. ("EnerTech") and will facilitate the hauling and processing of biosolids at EnerTech's renewable energy facility in the City of Rialto ("EnerTech Contract".) The other contract is between OCSD and Synagro and will facilitate the hauling and processing of biosolids at Synagro's organic waste recycling facility at the South Kern Industrial Center("SKIC") in South Kern County ("Synagro Contract"). II. PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION AND RELATED PERMITS/APPROVALS As noted above, this Addendum is an addendum to the 1999 PEIR. This section briefly summarizes the 1999 PEIR and its conclusions relating to the increase in biosolids management activities contemplated in that document. This section also references and briefly discusses other environmental documents and related permits that the City of Rialto, County of Kern, and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board ("RWQCB") approved in conjunction with each agency's approval of various land use entitlements to allow biosolids processing at Tule Ranch, and the EnerTech and Synagro facilities. All of these environmental documents are available for public review at the District's offices at 10844 Ellis Avenue, Fountain Valley, CA. A. 1999 Strategic Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (111999 PEIR") In October 1999, the OCSD Board certified the 1999 PEIR and approved the 1999 Strategic Plan. The 1999 Strategic Plan included a comprehensive biosolids management component and the environmental effect of this component was analyzed in the 1999 PEIR. The 1999 PEIR described the "Residual SolidsBiosolids Management" program in Section 3.10 and evaluated the environmental impacts of the biosolids management component of the Strategic Plan in Section 8.0. The 1999 PEIR discussed existing biosolids management practices, including the land application of biosolids, and "biosolids management opportunities," such as "cement-kiln injection." (Draft PEIR, pp.s 8-10-8-12) As the 1999 PEIR explains, "cement-kiln injection" involves incorporating dewatered biosolids into a cement manufacturing process. 528774,1 1 OCSD BIOSOUDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM r The PEIR assumed and evaluated a significant long term increase in biosolids production at OCSD's treatment plants. The 1999 PEIR assumed and analyzed an increase in biosolids production from the 1996/1997 "baseline" level of 180,000 wet tons per year ("WTPY") and 7,200 annual haul truck trips to up to 421,000 "WTPY" and 16,840 annual haul truck trips over a 20 year period. (See 1999 Draft PEIR, Table 3-24). This biosolids production increase corresponds to an additional 240,000 WTPY of biosolids and 9,640 annual haul truck trips. The 1999 PEIR assumed that an additional thirty-eight (38) haul truck trips per day (from twenty- seven (27) in 1998 to a maximum of sixty-five (65) in 2020) would be required to accommodate the increase in biosolids production. (See Final 1999 PEIR, Table 6.2-2). The 1999 PEIR concluded in Section 8.5 that this increase in biosolids production activity would have a less than significant traffic and noise impacts with implementation of identified mitigation measures, a less than significant impact on water quality at the land application sites, and a less than significant "cumulative impact on availability of land application sites." The 1999 PEIR concluded that air quality impacts from increased haul truck trips would be significant and unavoidable because Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions, a precursor to Ozone, would exceed SCAQMD thresholds. This emissions result from significant increase in biosolids haul truck trips and a corresponding increase in total "vehicle miles traveled." B. Construction and Operation of a Regional Biosolids Processing Facility Environmental Impact Report ("EnerTech EIR") (State Clearing house, "SCH" No. 2004041018) On December 21, 2004, the City of Rialto certified the EnerTech EIR and approved, inter alia, a conditional development permit for the Enertech project. According to the EIR, the EnerTech project would be located on a 1.3 acre portion of the City of Rialto's approximately nine (9) acre Wastewater Treatment Plant site. The project includes three (3) main buildings/structures, including (1) the main processing structure, which would be an open air, two level building housing most of the process equipment, (2) an administration/laboratory building, and (3) a maintenance shop and warehouse building. The project would have a design capacity to process up to 625 wet tons per day ("WTPD") or 125 dry tons per day of biosolids at approximately 20 percent solids to produce approximately 105 dry tons of"e-fuel", the finished product. E-fuel is a renewable fuel and would partially replace fossil fuels currently being used at these plants. The "e" fuel product produced at the EnerTech facility would then be transported to various cement kiln operations in California. The EnerTech EIR concluded that the project would have a less than significant impact on the environment. The EIR concluded that land use, traffic, air quality and noise impacts would be less than significant. The EIR further that geology, water resources, hazards and hazardous materials, biological resources and paleontological resources impacts would be mitigated to a less than significant level. The project would have no significant and unavoidable impacts on the environment. C. Final Supplement to the Environmental Impact Report for South Kern Industrial Center Specific Plan ("Synagro EIR") (SCH No. 1991122017) 528774.1 2 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM On October 22, 2002, the Board of Supervisors of Kern County certified the Synagro EIR and approved various land use entitlements, including a Conditional Use Permit (Resolution No. 2002-421), for the Synagro project. The Synagro project entailed the construction of a non- hazardous organic waste recycling facility on 100 acres of an approximately 250 acre parcel within the SKIC Specific Plan area. The project has the capacity to process a maximum of 400,000 tons per year of organic waste, including biosolids, pre-consumer food waste, pre- screened and ground greenwaste, and manure. This organic waste would be mixed with up to 270,000 tons per year of"bulking agents" or "agricultural byproducts" that include, for example, wood chips, pistachio and almond hulls, screened greenwaste, cotton gin waste and orchard trimmings. The recycling process would generate 670,000 tons of organic material per year. The organic material will be recycled or mixed with to produce approximately 550,000 cubic yards per year of Exceptional Quality (EQ) fertilizer/soil amendment. The term EQ is used to designate product that meets criteria for pathogen reduction to negligible levels, vector attraction and reduction practices to prevent excessive metals additions The Synagro EIR concluded that the project would have a significant and unavoidable environmental impact on air quality, biological resources, and hazards/hazardous waste. The EIR further concluded that agricultural resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hydrology, land use, noise, public services, traffic, and utilities/service systems impacts would be mitigated to a less than significant level. D. Regional Water Quailty Control Board ("RWQCB") Negative Declarations Relating to Land Application of Biosolids at Tule Ranch In conjunction with the RWQCB's approval of Order No. 94-253, "Waste Discharge Requirements for Shane Magan Tule Ranch Sludge Injection Kern County," dated September 16, 1994" ("WDR 94-253"), the RWQCB approved a Negative Declaration (SCH No. 94072045). The initial study that supported the Negative Declaration evaluated Shane Magan's proposed injection of "treated, stabilized, domestic wastewater treatment plant sewage sludge" on 1,440 acres of land in Kern County and concluded that all potential impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level. In addition, in conjunction with the RWQCB's approval of General Order 95-140, "Waste Discharge Requirements for Reuse of Biosolids and Septage on Agricultural, Forest, and Reclamation Sites ("General Order")," the RWQCB similarly approved a Negative Declaration (See RWQCB, Central Region, "Initial Environmental Study and Negative Declaration for Waste Discharge Requirements General Order for Reuse of Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge and Septage on Agricultural, Forest, and Reclamation Sites," August 1993 [General Order Initial Study/Negative Declaration]). The "General Order" served as "Waste Discharge Requirements" for the reuse of domestic wastewater treatment plant sludge and septage as soil amendment and fertilizer on agricultural, forest, and reclamation sites. Under the General Order, site operators and property owners proposing to use sludge or septic were required to submit a Notice of Intent("NOI") and filing fee to obtain coverage under the Order. 528774.1 3 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM In accordance with the requirements of the General Order, Tule Ranch filed three NOIs to comply with the General Order. On January 18, 1996, the RWQCB approved NOI Identification No. 95-14035, which allowed for the land application of biosolids on approximately 1,800 acres in Kings County. On May 10, 1996, the RWQCB approved, NOI Identification No.s 95-14046 and 95-14047, which collectively allowed land application of biosolids on an additional 2,680 acres in Kern County (note that WDR 94-253 had already authorized land application on 1,440 acres). Therefore, as of May 10, 1996 and pursuant to the RWQCB permits, Shane Magan was permitted to land apply biosolids on approximately 5,900 acres, including 4,100 acres in Kern and another 1,800 acres in neighboring Kings County when the OCSD Board approved the 2000 Contract. III. SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW As discussed in Section II, the OCSD Board previously certified the 1999 PEIR. The PEIR analyzed significant increases in biosolids production, including an increase in the number of haul truck trips departing from its treatment plants each day and, to a limited extent, land application activity at receiver sites, by the year 2020. The 1999 PEIR, however, did not identify the specific receiver sites that would be accepting and processing the increase in biosolids. Some of these sites are now known. OCSD prepared the 1999 PEIR to allow for more streamlined and focused environmental review of future "subsequent activities" that were contemplated in the 1999 PEIR. The CEQA Guidelines describe a process for conducting CEQA review of"subsequent activities" that were contemplated in a "program" EIR. The CEQA Guidelines provide in pertinent part: (c) Use with Later Activities. Subsequent activities in the program must be examined in the light of the program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared. (2) If the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no new effects could occur or no new mitigation measures would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required. (4) Where the subsequent activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were covered in the program EIR. (14 California Code Regs. §15168) szs774A 4 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM v The purpose of the Addendum is to conduct "second tier" or "site specific" environmental review of 2000 Contract, EnerTech Contract and Synagro Contract in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15168, subsections (c) (2) and (c) (4) above. Because these Contracts concern biosolids management and biosolids management was a component of the overall program evaluated in the PEIR, these contracts are considered "subsequent activities" in the program for purposes of CEQA Guidelines section 15168. (CSD No. 2 v. Kern, supra, 127 Cal. App. 4th at 1635). This Addendum documents that the "site specific" impacts of the proposed contracts do not require the preparation of a "subsequent" EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15162 because there are no new or substantially more severe significant environmental effects that were not previously considered or addressed in the 1999 PEIR. In addition, no new information of substantial importance has surfaced that was not known or could not have been known at the time the PEIR was certified that shows that the project would have some new or more severe impact. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164(c), OCSD is not required to circulate the Addendum for public review and comment. IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project entails the OCSD Board's (1) reconsideration of the 2000 Contract in accordance with the holding in CSD No. 2 v. Kern, and (2) final approval of two (2) new biosolids processing contracts. These contracts require Shane Magan (as the operator of Tule Ranch), EnerTech, and Synagro to accept and process, for an agreed upon fee, a portion of the approximately 685 wet tons per day ("WTPD") of biosolids that OCSD generates at it treatment plant. Each contract essentially entails two components that have the potential to impact the environment: (1) biosolids hauling and (2) biosolids processing at the receiver site. Each of these components is discussed separately below, as it relates to each biosolids contract. A. Biosolids Hauling 1. 2000 Contract The OCSD Board's approval of the 2000 Contract superseded an earlier biosolids contract with Magan that the OCSD Board approved in 1996. The 2000 Contract modified payment terms, but generally did not alter the obligations and duties of the parties relating to the hauling and land application of Class B biosolids at Tule Ranch. However, unlike the earlier contract, the 2000 Contract required Shane Magan to reserve space at Tule Ranch to accommodate up to 140,000 wet tons per year of OCSD biosolids. However, based upon a review of OCSD biosolids hauling records for a three year period (2000-2002) after the Board approved the 2000 Contract, Magan, on average, actually accepted for hauling and land disposal approximately 99,000 WTPY of biosolids, well below the reserved capacity described in the contract. Moreover, the greatest quantity of OCSD biosolids hauled and land applied at Tule Ranch over this three-year period was approximately 115,000 wet tons in 2002. 528774.1 5 OCSD BIOSOLfDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM For purposes of analyzing the environmental effects of the 2000 Contract, monthly and annual haul truck trips to Tule Ranch were averaged for a two (2) year period, beginning in 1998, the first full year of biosolids shipments after the Board approved the 2000 Contract, and ending in 1999,just before the Board approved the 2000 Contract in January, 2000.1 Based on a comparison of a two-year period before and a three-year period after the Board approved the 2000 Contract, OCSD hauled an additional 26,650 WTPY of biosolids to Tule Ranch. This increase in biosolids production resulted in a corresponding increase of approximately 1,105 annual truck trips or approximately six (6) truck trips per day based on OCSD's typical five (5) day, Monday through Friday, hauling schedule. Therefore, these are the assumptions that are used in this Addendum for purposes of defining the project and analyzing the potential environmental effects of increased biosolids hauling to Tule Ranch pursuant to the 2000 Contract. Table 1 Comparison of Pre and Post Board Approval of Magan Contract Tule Ranch Biosolids Productionl Years Per Yr. Tons/Mo. Tons/Yr 1998-1999 2,755 6,028 72,330 2000-2002 3,860 8,247 98,980 Difference +1,105 +2,219 +26,650 OCSD,Solids Monitoring Reports,dated 1998 through 2002. 2. EnerTech Contract The proposed EnerTech contract requires EnerTech to haul and process an average of 200 WTPD of biosolids at its facility in the City of Rialto. EnerTech would haul the biosolids to its processing and management facility that is currently under construction in the City of Rialto. This corresponds to approximately eight (8)truck trips per day. 3. Synagro Contract The proposed Synagro contract requires Synagro to haul and process "a minimum of 250 WTPD of biosolids" for composting at the Synagro facility at the South Kern Industrial Center. This corresponds to approximately ten (10) haul truck trips per day. B. Biosolids Processing at Receiver Sites Each contract contemplates a different form of biosolids processing and reuse at the receiver sites. The 2000 Contract required the land application and reuse of biosolids for agricultural purposes. The EnerTech Contract entails the processing and reuse of biosolids as "e- fuel" for cement slurry. Finally, the Synagro Contract entails the processing and reuse of biosolids into high quality compost that is sold in retail outlets. Each of the biosolids receiver ' OCSD actually commenced shipments to Tule Ranch in March, 1997. Because OCSD did not ship biosolids to Tule Ranch for a full twelve month period,year 1997 biosolids hauling and shipment data was excluded from the average. However, the amount of biosolids shipped over the 10 month period is generally consistent with the daily and monthly averages for 1998 and 1999. 528774.1 6 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM P sites/facilities has undergone independent CEQA review by each of the respective lead agencies or primary permitting agency for the site/facility. Below is a brief explanation of how OCSD's biosolids will be processed at each of the receiver sites. 1. Tule Ranch 2000 Contract For purposes of this Addendum, the analysis assumes that the 2000 Contract increased the amount of OCSD biosolids being processed at Tule Ranch by 2,200 wet tons per month and 26,650 WTPY. The assumption is based on a comparison of pre and post 2000 biosolids processing records for Tule Ranch, which is summarized in Table 1. As noted in Table 1, before OCSD approved the 2000 Contract, Shane Magan accepted and processed, on average, based on a two year period, approximately 6,000 wet tons per month and 72,300 wet tons per year of OCSD biosolids. After OCSD approved the 2000 Contract, Tule Ranch accepted and land applied, on average, based on a three-year period, approximately 8,200 wet tons per month and 99,000 wet tons per year of OCSD biosolids. 2. EnerTech Contract The proposed EnerTech Contract requires EnerTech to accept, process and convert 200 WTPD of OCSD biosolids to a renewal fuel source known as "e-fuel." E-fuel will be used by a local cement kiln as an alternative to coal. The EnerTech facility will use EnerTech's proprietary SlurryCarb technology and is designed to process approximately 625 WTPD of biosolids to service the needs of various public agencies in the Region. 3. Synagro Contract The proposed Synagro Contract requires Synagro to accept and process a minimum of 250 WTPD of OCSD biosolids. Synagro is required, to process the biosolids to Class A standards under 40 Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR") Part 503 and to comply with best management practices and all federal, state and local regulations in existence. The Synagro facility is designed to process approximately 400,000 tons per year of organic waste, including biosolids. Based on a five (5) day hauling schedule, EnerTech is required to process a minimum of 65,250 WTPY of OCSD biosolids. V. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS A. "Baseline" Condition 1. Biosolids Hauling a. 2000 Contract: OCSD had been hauling and land applying biosolids to Tule Ranch for several years prior to the Board's approval of the 2000 Contract. Therefore, environmental impacts relating to biosolids production and land application at Tule Ranch were already occurring when the Board approved the 2000 Contract. 528774.1 7 z OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM For purposes of evaluating the potential environmental impacts of the 2000 Contract, OCSD determined the "baseline" condition by calculating the average amount of monthly annual haul truck trips to Tule Ranch for a full two (2) year period (1998-1999) prior to approving the 2000 Contract in January, 2000. Table 1 summarizes haul truck trip activity from January, 1998, the first full year of biosolids shipments after OCSD first started hauling biosolids to Tule Ranch, to December 1999, one month prior to the Board's approval of the 2000 Contract. OCSD generated 2,755 trips per year to Tule Ranch, which corresponds to, on average, eleven (11)truck trips per day, and 230 trips per month. Table 2 1998-1999 Biosolids Production et Tons IVff Year Tri s/Yr WT/Mo. WT/Yr 1998 2,802 6,227 74,720 1999 2,707 5,828 69,940 Avg. 2,755 6,028 72,330 b. EnerTech and Synagro Contract: Unlike the OCSD's hauling activity to Tule Ranch, OCSD has not historically hauled biosolids to either the EnerTech or Synagro facilities. Therefore, for purposes of analyzing the environmental effects of the EnerTech and Synagro contracts, the analysis assumes that OCSD is not presently hauling biosolids to either of these sites. 2. Biosolids Processing at the Receiver Sites As discussed in Section II of the Addendum, Shane Magan was land applying biosolids at Tule Ranch pursuant to several RWQCB approvals. Similarly, both the EnerTech and Synagro facilities have been fully permitted and either have been constructed or are under construction. Each of these entities have a vested right to operate their facilities at the permitted capacity authorized under the permits. Because each of the receiver sites have been fully permitted and have undergone full CEQA review, the "baseline" condition for purposes of evaluating the environmental impacts of processing biosolids at the receiver sites is the "maximum permitted capacity" of each facility. (See Fairvieiv Neighbors v. County of Ventura, (1999) 70 Cal. App. 4th 238 [EIR appropriately assumed the existing traffic impact level to be the traffic generated when the mine operates at full capacity pursuant to the entitlement previously permitted by a Conditional Use Permit]; Benton v. Board of Supervisors, (1991) 226 Cal.App.3d 1467, 1477 [For purposes of assessing the environmental effects of a project, "...the actual physical environment includes that which the [applicant] has a legal right to build under permits which have already been issued and on which construction has already begun."] a. Tule Ranch: When the Board approved the 2000 Contract, Mr. Magan was already accepting and land disposing biosolids at Tule Ranch pursuant to four (4) RWQCB approvals issued in 1994 and 1996. These permits authorized the land application of biosolids on approximately 5,900 acres, including 4,100 acres in Kern County (WDR# 94-253, 528774.1 8 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM NOI Identification No.s 95-14046 and 95-14047) and another 1,800 acres in neighboring Kings County(NOI Identification No. 95-14035). During the two (2) year period prior to the Board's approval of the 2000 Contract, Tule Ranch had been actually land applying, on average, approximately 153,800 WTPY of biosolids. (See Table 2). OCSD's average contribution of 72,330 WTPY to Tule Ranch during that same two (2) year period represented about 47% of the biosolids being land applied at Tule Ranch. Several other sanitary sewer agencies in Southern California generated the remaining fifty-three percent (53%) or approximately 92,000 WTs of biosolids that were being land applied at Tule Ranch. Table 3 1998-1999 Tule Ranch Land Application Activity YR Total WTs1 Acres Used WTs/acre OCSD Total 2 OCSD % of Total Applied 1998 142,744 3,800 39 74,720 52% 1999 164,901 5,220 31 69,940 42% AVG. 153,823 4,510 35 72,330 47% "Honey Bucket Farms,Annual Biosolids Application Reports"dated 1998 to 1999. Z OCSD,Solids Monitoring Reports,dated 1998 and 1999 However, the "maximum permitted capacity" at Tule Ranch to accept and land apply biosolids in January, 2000 was greater than the amount of biosolids actually being land applied at Tule Ranch. Based on a review Annual Biosolids Application Reports between 1998 and 2005, Tule Ranch land applied on average approximately 74 WTs of biosolids per acre during this period pursuant to the terms of the RWQCB permits. However, based on a telephone conversation with Shane Magan, he indicated that a more conservative 50 WTs per acre figure should be used for purposes of establishing a maximum permitted capacity. Mr. Magan also indicated that 400 acres should be subtracted from the total land application area of 5,900 acres to account for existing roads and areas that can not accommodate biosolids, which results in a net land application area of 5,500 acres. Using the more conservative rate of 50 WTs/acre, when the Board approved the 2000 Contract, Tule Ranch could have accommodated a maximum of approximately 275,000 WTs (50 WTs per acre x 5,500 ac.) of biosolids annually at Tule Ranch in accordance with the terms of the RWQCB permits. Accordingly, prior to the Board's approval of the 2000 Contract,Tule Ranch was operating at 56% of its permitted capacity. b. EnerTech and Synagro Contract: The EnerTech facility is currently permitted to process approximately 625 WTPD or 125 dry tons of biosolids to service the needs of various public agencies in the Region. Based on a 365 day year, the EnerTech Facility has the capacity to process up to 228,125 WTPY and 45,625 dry tons per year. The Synagro facility is currently permitted to process a maximum of approximately 1,100 tons per day of organic waste, including biosolids. This corresponds to 400,000 tons per year of organic waste. The organic material will be mixed with bulking agents 528774.1 9 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM and recycled to produce approximately 550,000 cubic yards per year of Exceptional Quality (EQ) fertilizer/soil amendment. B. Environmental Effects This section analyzes whether approving the proposed biosolids contracts creates any new environmental effects that were not previously addressed in the 1999 PEIR or results in a substantial increase in the severity any significant environmental effect that was identified in the 1999 PEIR. Each contract would have potential environmental impacts relating to biosolids hauling and processing at the receiver sites. However, as discussed below,the PEIR contemplated a significant increase in haul truck trips to various receiver sites over the twenty year time frame of the Strategic Plan. The new biosolids haul truck trips that would be generated under the proposed contracts fall within the range of trips contemplated and addressed in the 1999 PEIR. Therefore, the additional haul truck trips that would be generated pursuant to these three (3) contracts would not result in any new environmental effects or increase the severity of any the environmental effects, such as traffic and noise impacts, that were previously disclosed and addressed in the PEIR. To make certain, OCSD retained Integrated Program Management Consultants ("IMPC") to prepare site or "route specific" traffic impacts analyses, which have confirmed the conclusions of the PEIR.2 These traffic impacts analyses are attached as Appendices to the Addendum. These three (3) contracts would similarly not create any new environmental effects or increase the severity of any previously identified environmental effects resulting from biosolids processing at the receiver sites. As discussed below, each of the receiver sites have been fully permitted and underwent independent CEQA review by those agencies that had land use jurisdiction and permitting authority over the facilities. The quantity of biosolids being shipped and processed at the receiver sites pursuant to each contract is well with the "maximum permitted capacity" of each of these facilities. The contracts, therefore, would not result in any environmental effects above and beyond the "baseline" condition that is discussed in section IV (A) (2) of the Addendum. Moreover, the environmental effects resulting from the construction and operation of the facilities at each receiver site were fully disclosed in the CEQA documents described in Section 11 of the Addendum. 1. Biosolids Hauling Impacts a. Traffic Impacts: 1. 1999 PEIR Conclusions The 1999 PEIR assumed and evaluated a significant long term increase in biosolids production. The 1999 PEIR assumed and analyzed a significant increase in biosolids production from the 1996/1997 level of 180,000 2 IPMC,Biosolids Hauling Traffic Impact Analysis, EnerTech Rene►vable Energy Facility,July 2006; IPMC,Biosolids Hauling Traffic Impact Analysis, South Kern Industrial,July 2006; IPMC,Biosolids Hauling Traffic impact Analysis, Title Ranch,July 2006. 529774.1 10 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM WTPY and 7,200 annual haul truck trips, to up to 421,000 WTPY and 16,840 annual haul truck trips over a 20 year period based on the full secondary treatment scenario. This biosolids production increase corresponds to an additional 240,000 WTPY of biosolids and 9,640 annual haul truck trips. The 1999 PEIR assumed that daily biosolids haul truck trips would increase by thirty-eight (38) truck trips from twenty-seven (27) in 1998 to a maximum of sixty-five (65) in 2020 (See Final PEIR, Table 6.2-2). The 1999 PEIR concluded in Section 8.0 that an additional 9,640 annual truck trips or 38 haul truck trips per day would have a less than significant traffic impact with implementation of mitigation (See "Impact 8-2," pp.s 8-14 — 8-15). According to the 1999 PEIR, the increase in biosolids trips would not be significant when compared to the total volume of traffic on streets adjacent to the treatment plants and along major haul routes. However, during the peak morning and evening hour period, the 1999 PEIR concluded that the increase in truck trips could cause congestion and identified mitigation measures 8-2 to reduce this impact to a less than significant level. Mitigation measure 8-2 requires OCSD to limit truck trips associated with the transport of residual solids to off-peak hours when possible as a means of reducing truck travel times and minimizing congestion impacts to the regional transportation system. 2. Project Impacts: Each contract would increase the number of daily haul truck trips departing Plants 1 and 2. The 2000 Contract generated an additional six (6) truck trips per day based on OCSD's typical five (5) day, Monday through Friday, hauling schedule. The EnerTech contract would generate in eight (8) new truck trips per day. The Synagro Contract would generate ten (10) new truck trips per day. Collectively, these contracts would generate twenty four (24) new haul truck trips, which represent approximately sixty three percent (63%) of the projected increase in daily truck trips (38 truck trips) that was described and evaluated in the 1999 PEIR. Accordingly, the projected increase in haul truck trips would not exceed the projected increase contemplated in the 1999 PEIR would not have a new significant impact or result in a substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified traffic impact that was described in the 1999 PEIR. Notwithstanding that these truck trips were within the range contemplated in the 1999 PEIR, the 1999 PEIR did not evaluate any "route" or "site-specific" traffic impacts from OCSD's treatment plants to the receiver sites. Therefore, OCSD retained IPMC to conduct route specific traffic studies for each of the contracts. Each traffic study concluded that the additional haul truck trips would not have a significant traffic impact and would not change the Level of Service on the designated routes to the receiver sites. 2000 Contract Study: The Tule Ranch traffic study conservatively assumes that there would be ten (10) additional truck trips to Tule Ranch on the route specified in the traffic analysis attached as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference. As noted above, the actual increase in truck trips after the Board approved the 2000 Contract was six (6). Based on ten (10) new daily truck trips, the traffic study concluded that there would be no significant effect on the Level of Service (LOS) of affected roadways and intersections along the route to Tule Ranch. Even under the worst-case scenario, where all ten (10) trucks depart the treatment plants to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County at the same time, the percent change in volumes on the 528774.1 11 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM analyzed route segments is less than 1.5 percent of the freeway segments and less than 2 percent on the arterial segments. On the two-lane segments, there are higher percentages of volume changes, but the overall volumes are low. These increases will cause no measurable effects on the operations or the LOS of the analyzed segments. This conclusion is consistent with the 1999 PEIR conclusion that traffic impacts would be less than significant. EnerTech Contract: The EnerTech traffic study assumed that this contract would generate eight (8) new truck trips on the route specified in the traffic analysis attached as Appendix B and incorporated herein by reference. The study concluded that this increase in truck trips would have no significant effects on the LOS of affected roadways and intersections along the route to the facility. Even with the worst-case scenario, where all eight (8) trucks depart the treatment plants to EnerTech at the same time, the percent change in volumes on the analyzed route segments is less than 1 percent of the freeway segments and less than 2 percent on the arterial segments in Orange County. On the two-lane segments, there are higher percentages of volume changes, but the overall volumes are low. These increases will cause no measurable effects on the operations or LOS of the analyzed segments. This conclusion is consistent with the 1999 PEIR that traffic impacts would be less than significant. The EIR that the City of Rialto prepared in conjunction with the permitting of the EnerTech facility similarly evaluated site specific traffic impacts on affected roadways and intersections in the City of Rialto. As documented in Section 4.7 of the Draft EIR, any potential increase in traffic due to the EnerTech "would not significantly increase delay or decrease the LOS"at any of the studied intersections. (See Draft EIR, p. 4.7-7). Synagro Contract: The Synagro traffic study assumed that this contract would generate ten (10) new truck trips on the route specified in the traffic analysis attached as Appendix C and incorporated herein by reference. The Synagro traffic study concluded that there would be no significant effect on the LOS or traffic operations. Even with the worst-case scenario, where all the trucks depart the treatment plants to the energy facility at the same time, the percent change in volumes on the analyzed route segments is less than 1 percent of the freeway segments and less than 3 percent on the arterial segments. This increase would cause no measurable effects on the operations or the LOS of the analyzed segments. This conclusion is consistent with the conclusion of the PEIR and the Synagro EIR. The SEIR that Kern County prepared in conjunction with its approval of the Synagro facility at the SKIC also concluded that potential traffic impacts on local roadways and intersection would be insignificant. These impacts were evaluated in Section 4.14 of the SEIR, which described the local roadways and intersections that would be affected by the increase in truck trips and analyzed whether this increase would result in significant delays or deterioration in LOS. As noted in Section 4.14, all affected roadways and intersections would be operating above LOS C, which is an acceptable LOS in Kern County. (See SEIR,p. 4.14-15). b. Noise Impacts 528774.1 12 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM 1. 1999 PEIR Conclusion: The 1999 PEIR addressed potential noise impacts due to the increase in haul truck trips in Section 8.0 (see "Impact 8-3," pps. 8-15 - 8-16). The 1999 PEIR concluded that the increase in ambient noise levels due to the increase in haul truck trips would be less than significant with mitigation measures. The 1999 PEIR concluded that the increase in noise levels along Ellis Avenue, adjacent to Plant No. 1 would not be significant because the short segment of Ellis Avenue that would be affected by the increase in truck traffic serves commercial and industrial uses, which are not considered sensitive noise receptors. Regarding haul truck trips from Plant No. 2, the 1999 PEIR explained that the increase in truck traffic could affect single family residences along a four mile stretch of Brookhurst Avenue during the nighttime, noise sensitive, hours or between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m when overall traffic levels along Brookhurst Avenue are minimal. To mitigate potential noise impacts from the increased truck traffic, the PEIR identified measures 8-3a and 8-3b. Mitigation measure 8-3a requires the District to limit truck trips relating to residual solids, such as biosolids, at Plant No. 2 to non-noise sensitive (daytime) and non-peak hours whenever possible. Mitigation measure 8-3b required the District to explore options that would reduce the number of truck trips from Plant No. 2. 2. Project Impacts: The minor increase in haul truck trips that resulted from the 2000 contract combined with the increase in haul truck trips that would result from the EnerTech and Synagro contracts were contemplated in the 1999 PEIR. The 1999 PEIR projected an overall increase in thirty-eight (38) haul truck trips from Plant No.s 1 and 2. Collectively, the three (3) biosolids contracts would generate approximately twenty-four (24) truck trips, fourteen less than the number of trips contemplated and evaluated in the 1999 PEIR. Accordingly, the projected increase in haul truck trips would not exceed the projected increase contemplated in the 1999 PEIR and would not have a new significant noise impact or result in a substantial increase in the severity of any previously noise impact identified in the 1999 PEIR. In addition, the RWQCB, City of Rialto and Kern County evaluated potential truck noise impacts on roadways affected by additional truck traffic as part of the each jurisdiction's environmental review of these facilities. As noted in the initial studies that were prepared in conjunction with the permitting of Tule Ranch, any potential noise impacts due to additional truck traffic would not be significantly different from other types of farming operations in the area. (See p. 18, RWQCB, Initial Study, dated July 1994, SCH#94072045; p. III-4, Initial Environmental Study, August 1993). In addition, the site is located in a relatively remote area away from noise sensitive land uses, such as residential areas. (Id.). Moreover, as noted above, OCSD was already generating eleven (11) biosolids truck trips per day to Tule Ranch pursuant to a previously approved contract when the Board approved the 2000 Contract. In addition to OCSD, several other sanitary sewer providers in southern California were generating truck trips to Tule Ranch Therefore, biosolids truck noise was already occurring along routes to Tule Ranch. The EnerTech facility EIR also evaluated potential truck noise impacts in Section 4.9. According to the EIR, the additional heavy truck trips that would be generated from the new facility would not increase noise levels above the 3 decibel level 528774.1 13 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM significance threshold. In fact, the increase was projected at 0.1 decibels on affected roadways, which is well below the significance threshold. Finally, the Synagro facility SEIR evaluated potential noise impacts from biosolids haul truck trips in Section 4.11. According to the SEIR, "no noise sensitive land uses exist, or are presently planned in the vicinity of the project...Single family residential dwellings with accessory farm buildings are located in limited and scattered locations within a ten (10) mile radius of the site as the vicinity of the area is primarily utilized for agricultural purposes." (p. 4.11-2, SEIR).Therefore, the SEIR concluded that the facility would not have any significant noise impacts. C. Air Quality Impacts 1. 1999 PEIR Conclusion: The 1999 PEIR concluded in Section 6.5 that the increase in haul truck trips would have a significant and unavoidable air quality impact. According to the 1999 PEIR, these additional haul truck trips would result in Nitrogen Oxide ("NOx") emissions that would exceed SCAQNID significance thresholds. The 1999 PEIR calculated pollutant emissions based on an average 400 mile round trip between OCSD's Treatment Plants and the receiver sites. 2. Project Impacts: The minor increase in haul truck trips that resulted from the 2000 contract combined with the increase in haul truck trips that would result from the EnerTech and Synagro contracts were contemplated in the 1999 PEIR. The 1999 PEIR projected an overall increase in thirty-eight (38) haul truck trips from Plant No.s 1 and 2. Collectively, the three (3) biosolids contracts would generate approximately twenty-four (24) truck trips, fourteen less than the number of trips contemplated and evaluated in the 1999 PEIR. In addition, each of the receiver sites are located in either San Bernardino or Kem County and are at or within the 400 mile round trip assumption used to calculate pollutant emission increases in the 1999 PER. Accordingly, the projected increase in haul truck trips would not exceed the projected increase contemplated in the 1999 PEIR and would not have a new significant noise impact or result in a substantial increase in the severity of any previously noise impact identified in the 1999 PEIR. In addition, the RWQCB, City of Rialto and Kern County evaluated potential air quality impacts due to the increase in biosolids haul truck traffic as part of the each jurisdiction's environmental review of these facilities. The RWQCB analyzed potential air quality impacts of biosolids haul truck trips in conjunction when it approved WDR 94-253 for Tule Ranch and when it issued the General Order. (See See p. 11-12, RWQCB, Initial Study, dated July 1994, SCH#94072045; p. 111-2, General Order Initial Study/Negative Declaration). Similarly, air quality impacts from biosolids operations at the EnerTech facility were comprehensively addressed in Section 4.8 of the Draft EIR. Air quality impacts from biosolids operations at the Synagro facility were addressed in Section 4.3. 2. Biosolids Processing at the Receiver Site. 529774.1 14 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM As noted in Section IV A (2) of the Addendum, each of the receiver sites has been previously permitted to process biosolids. These permits establish each facility's maximum capacity to process biosolids. Unless one or more of the contracts cause these facilities to exceed their processing capacity or otherwise alter operational characteristics of the facilities, these contracts would not result in any significant environmental effect at the receiver sites that were not already fully analyzed and mitigated, as necessary, in conjunction with the permitting and CEQA process for each facility. As documented below, each facility has more the adequate capacity to accommodate OCSD biosolids. a. 2000 Contract: Shane Magan has been permitted to land apply biosolids at Tule Ranch since 1994 when the RWQCB approved WDR# 94-253. Magan obtained additional permits to land apply biosolids in 1995 and began accepting and land applying OCSD biosolids in 1997. In January 2000 when the Board approved the 2000 Contract, Shane Magan had already secured permits that allowed the land application of biosolids on approximately 4,000 acres in Kern County and additional 1,800 acres in Kings County that comprise Tule Ranch. Based on a conservative average land application rate of approximately 50 WTs/acre per year, Tule Ranch could have theoretically land applied a maximum of 275,000 WTPY of biosolids in January 2000 when the Board approved the 2000 Contract. At the time the Board approved the 2000 Contract, Tule Ranch was operating below its maximum permitted capacity. According to land application data for the two year period prior to the 2000 Contract, which is summarized in Table 3, Tule Ranch was land applying, on average, 153,800 WTPY or approximately fifty-six percent (56%) of its maximum permitted capacity. Of the 153,800 WTPY of biosolids being land applied at Tule Ranch, OCSD was contributing approximately 72,300 WTPY biosolids and other sanitary sewer providers in California, including Los Angeles County Sanitation District, and to a lesser extent Golida, Santa Barbara, and a few other smaller generators contributed the remaining 81,000 WTPY of biosolids. After the Board approved the 2000 Contract, Tule Ranch accepted and land applied more biosolids from OCSD. On average, OCSD hauled an additional 26,650 WTPY of biosolids to Tule Ranch, increasing its overall total to 98,980 WTPY. This quantity of biosolids represented thirty-six percent (36%) of the maximum permitted capacity at Tule Ranch. Even when OCSD biosolids are added to other agency biosolids that were being land applied at Tule Ranch after the Board approved the 2000 Contract, Tule Ranch was still operating below its maximum permitted capacity. As noted in Table 4, the most biosolids Tule Ranch land applied between 2000 and 2002 was 185,201 WTPY, which represents approximately sixty-seven percent (67%) of its maximum permitted capacity of 275,000 WTPY.

EnerTech and Synagro Contracts: Like Tule Ranch, EnerTech and Synagro have obtained permits to process biosolids at their respective facilities in the City of Rialto and Kern County. In 2004, the City of Rialto, acting as the lead agency for the project, approved a conditional development permit to facilitate the construction of the EnerTech facility, which has a design capacity to process up to 625 tons per day of biosolids. Similarly, in 2002, the Kern County Board of Supervisors approved a conditional use permit for the Synagro organic waste recycling facility. The permitted capacity of Synagro facility is 670,000 wet tons per year, which includes 400,000 tons of biosolids and 270,000 tons of bulking agents. This capacity corresponds to approximately 1,100 wet tons per day of organic waste, including biosolids, and approximately 350 average vehicle trips per day. Prior to approval of the CUP, the Board certified a Final Supplement to the Environmental Impact Report(SEIR) for the SKIC Specific Plan (SCH#1991122017) (Resolution No. 2002-420). OCSD proposes to haul eight (8)truck loads or 200 WT/day of biosolids to the EnerTech facility and ten (10) truck loads or 250 WT/day to the Synagro facility. These amounts represent approximately thirty-two percent (32%) of the maximum permitted capacity (625 tons/day) at the EnerTech facility and approximately twenty-three percent (23%) of the maximum permitted capacity (1,100 tons/day) at the Synagro facility. Accordingly, OCSD's biosolids shipments to these facilities will not exceed either facility's maximum permitted capacity, which is the "baseline" condition for purposes of assessing the significance of any potentially environmental effects from processing OCSD biosolids at these facilities. Therefore, the processing of OCSD biosolids at these facilities would not cause any potentially significant environmental effects at these facilities. Vl. Conclusion Based on the above analysis, an Addendum to the 1999 PEIR is appropriate to address the environmental effects of the three (3) biosolids contracts. As documented in this Addendum, the biosolids hauling component of each contract would result in the same environmental effects that were discussed and disclosed in the 1999 PEIR. The number of additional haul truck trips fall within the significant increase in haul truck trips that the 1999 PEIR assumed would occur in conjunction with OCSD's long range biosolids management plan. Moreover, as documented in the "route specific" traffic analysis that was conducted, any potential traffic impacts that would result from the nominal increase in truck trips to Tule Ranch will be less than significant, which is consistent with the 1999 PEIR's conclusion. As it relates to potential environmental effects at the receiver sites, each of these sites have been fully permitted pursuant to CEQA by the applicable lead agency for those facilities. Tule Ranch was a fully operational and functioning land application site that was operating pursuant to 528774.1 16 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM approved RWQCB permits that allow the land application of biosolids on approximately 5,900 acres in Kern and Kings County. Similarly, the EnerTech and Synagro facilities have been fully permitted to process biosolids at their respective locations. At no point during the three (3) year period after the Board approved the 2000 Contract, did OCSD biosolids cause Tule Ranch to exceed its maximum permitted capacity. In addition, the quantity of biosolids that will be hauled to the EnerTech and Synagro facilities is well within the permitted processing capabilities of both facilities. 529774.1 17 OCSD BIOSOLIDS CONTRACTS ADDENDUM APPENDIX A Biosolid Hauling Traffic Impacts Analysis, Tule Ranch, July 2006 528774.1 18 Report Biosolids Hauling Traffic Impact Analysis Tule Ranch Prepared for Orange County Sanitation District July 2006 Prepared by t Q14- rN, c-01 10844 Ellis Avenue Fountain Valley, CA 92708 TB0720060035C01SS316.DOC1061880005 Contents Section Page Acronyms.............................................................................................................................................ii 1.0 Background.............................................................................................................................1 1.1 Introduction and Purpose............................................................................................1 1.2 Proposed Biosolids Hauling.........................................................................................1 2.0 Traffic Analysis......................................................................................................................3 2.1 Approach........................................................................................................................3 2.2 Route Selection Process.................................................................................................3 2.3 AnaIysis Assumptions..................................................................................................4 2.4 Existing Conditions.......................................................................................................5 2.5 No-Haul Analysis..........................................................................................................7 2.6 Haul Analysis...............................................................................................................10 2.7 Cumulative Traffic Impacts.......................................................................................10 3.0 CEQA Analysis....................................................................................................................12 4.0 References.............................................................................................................................15 Tables 1 Roadway Segments from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 to Tule Ranch Sites in KernCounty...............................................................................................................................4 2 Traffic Characteristics of the Affected Roadway Segments.................................................6 3 2006 Truck Volumes and Passenger Car Equivalents..........................................................7 4 2006 No-Haul LOS Projections per Arterial and Freeway Segments.................................8 5 LOS Criteria for Basic Freeway Segments..............................................................................9 6 Example of Maximum Service Volumes by Urban Streets by LOS....................................9 7 Two-Lane Highway Classes.....................................................................................................9 8 2006 With-Haul Scenario LOS Projections...........................................................................11 Figure 1 Truck Route from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 to Tule Ranch Sites in KernCounty...............................................................................................................................2 TB072006W=01=16=06188M I Acronyms ADT average daily traffic Caltrans California Department of Transportation CEQA California Environmental Quality Act CMA Congestion Management Agency CMP Congestion Management Plan D directional split factor EIR Environmental Impact Report GP general purpose HCM Highway Capacity Manual 2000 HOV high-occupancy vehicle I Interstate K peak hour flow factor LOS level of service OCTA Orange County Transportation Authority PCE passenger car equivalent PEIR 1999 Strategic Plan Program Environmental Impact Report PHV peak hour volume Plant No. 1 Reclamation Plant No. 1 Plant No.2 Treatment Plant No.2 Sanitation District Orange County Sanitation District SEIR Subsequent Environmental Impact Report SR State Route TRB Transportation Research Board V/C volume-to-capacity ratio vph vehicles per hour TB072006003ScaSS316.o0G061880005 1 .0 Background 1.1 Introduction and Purpose The Orange County Sanitation District(Sanitation District)operates and maintains two wastewater treatment plants located in Orange County,California. Reclamation Plant No. 1 (Plant No. 1) is located on Ellis Avenue, in Fountain Valley.Treatment Plant No.2(Plant No.2) is located on Brookhurst Street, in Huntington Beach.This report summarizes the forecasted traffic impacts associated with biosolids-hauling trucks traveling from Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 in Orange County to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County,California. The Tule Ranch sites in Kern County are operated under General Waste Discharge Requirements from the State Water Resources Control Board,and under site-specific Waste Discharge Requirements from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. The purpose of this traffic analysis is to determine whether biosolids truck hauling operations will affect level of service(LOS)on the routes between Sanitation District plants and Tule Ranch sites in Kern County.The analysis includes an assessment of the LOS on regional and local roadways with and without the addition of the biosolids-hauling trucks. LOS is defined by a volume-to-capacity ratio(V/C) ranging from A(V/C ratio 0.0 to 0.6) to F(V/C ratio over 1.0). Levels A through C are generally considered good operating conditions with only minor delays;LOS D is considered a fair operating condition with drivers occasionally having to wait through more than one signal at the intersection;LOS E includes longer delays with more common occurrences of drivers waiting through more than one signal;and LOS F is considered to have conditions of restricted flow. An assessment of the significance of potential traffic impacts was completed using the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)Environmental Checklist(Appendix G, CEQA Guidelines) for Traffic and Transportation.This report documents the methodology used and the LOS assessment and findings of this traffic impact analysis. 1.2 Proposed Biosolids Hauling The proposed hauling of a combined total of 10 truck loads per day of biosolids from Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 in Orange County to Tule Ranch sites in Kern County is evaluated herein.The truck trips were considered in the Sanitation District's 1999 Strategic Plan Program Environmental Impact Report(PEIR) (Sanitation District,1999),but the route from the Sanitation District plants to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County were not analyzed. For the purpose of this specific traffic analysis, truck trips would be using the route segments connecting Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 in Orange County to Tule Ranch sites in Kern County. Biosolids-hauling trucks would depart from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 and travel to the three Tule Ranch sites located on Garces Highway west of Delano,which is in unincorporated Kern County.The nearest site is located at Corcoran Road and Garces Highway;the farthest site is at Garces Highway and Scofield Avenue.Trucks would travel through Orange,Los Angeles,and Kern Counties(see Figure 1).

Volumes and capacities are determined for the highest-volume portions of each freeway segment,and a corresponding LOS assessment is made. Adjustments for truck factors(passenger car equivalents[PCEs])are included in the V/C calculations.Similar calculations are completed for the arterials. • The biosolids hauling design year is the current year since trucks currently haul biosolids to Tule Ranch sites in Kern County.Traffic volumes for the design year(2006) are determined by extrapolating the current data. • Traffic counts are obtained through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)and local jurisdictions for the year 2004,which is the latest available. • Analysis includes a base case without the proposed biosolids hauling(No-Haul scenario)and operations with the hauling(Haul scenario). The traffic analysis is comprised of five major steps: route selection process,analysis assumptions,existing conditions,No-Haul analysis,and Haul analysis.These steps are described in the following sections. 2.2 Route Selection Process Trucks will travel from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 to Tule Ranch sites in Kem County. Figure 1 illustrates the route currently used by truck drivers for hauling biosolids from Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 to Tule Ranch sites in Kern County.Tables 1 and 2 summarize the roadway segments for each trip.It is anticipated that the current route will continue to be used.

The number of biosolids-hauling trucks from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County is assumed to be a combined total of 10 trucks per day,based on estimates provided by Sanitation District. As a conservative assumption,all trucks are assumed to be traveling during the a.m.peak hour,in the same lane of the peak direction. The exact timing and combination of trucks departing each facility could vary.For this reason,the worst-case scenario of truck departure combinations is analyzed,and assumes TB072006003$COISS316.DOC/06188OW5 4 2.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS that all 10 trucks per day would depart Plant No.1 or Plant No.2 during the same peak hour.This assumption ensures that the maximum possible truck traffic impacts are assessed for each segment of the route. Additionally, biosolids-hauling trucks are assumed to use general purpose(GP) lanes throughout their entire trip to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County and back. Traffic flow on high-occupancy vehicle(HOV) lanes is set at capacity(1,500 vehicles per hour per lane)'.The directional split factor(D)2 on the urban and rural streets is assumed to be 60 percent and applies to Brookhurst Street,Corcoran Road,and Garces Highway. A peak hour flow factor(K)3 of 9 percent is used for Brookhurst Street,and 10 percent on Corcoran Road and Garces Highway due to their rural characteristics.Since truck data on Corcoran Road and Garces Highway were not available,they are assumed to be 35 percent of the average daily traffic(ADT),based on typical values of truck percentages on surrounding roads, such as State Route(SR)-33,SR-46,and SR434. 2.4 Existing Conditions Traffic data were obtained from Caltrans(2004)and Kern County (2006).Traffic data were available for the years 2002,2003,and 2004. Volumes for the year 2006 are extrapolated using the available data. Table 2 provides a summary of the characteristics of the analyzed route segments along the route from the Sanitation District plants to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County. Table 2 identifies the number of GP lanes and HOV lanes along each segment.For traffic,the data include the annual ADT and truck volumes, peak hour traffic volumes,directional split of traffic in each direction (D),and the percentage of traffic in the peak hour(K). The HCM uses the concept of PCEs to account for the influence of trucks in traffic.For this analysis, truck volumes are converted into PCEs using the HCM procedures.The analysis is summarized in Table 3.First,the directional split factor(D) is used to convert truck flow in both directions to truck volumes in the peak direction. Then, using the K factor,truck volumes in the peak direction are converted into flow per peak hour.Finally,using the HCM conversion factor for the overall truck population(1.5), peak hourly volumes of trucks are converted into PCEs per peak hour and peak direction.The difference between the truck volumes and the equivalent passenger cars,which is shown in the last column of Table 3,is the volume that needs to be added to the regular traffic volumes to account for trucks. 1 Report by the Legislative Analyst Office,January 2000,titled,HOV Lanes in California:Are They Achieving Their Goals? (Long,2000). 2 The proportion of vehicles traveling in the peak direction during the peak hour:Usually,this factor is used to convert average daily traffic(ADT)volumes for both directions to volumes in the peak direction,which is critical to the analysis. 3 The proportion of vehicles traveling during the peak hour:Using this factor,the peak hour volume in the peak direction is computed based on the ADT volume for that direction.The peak hour volume is used to obtain the LOS,using the methodologies in the HCM 2000 guidelines. 4 2004 Average Annual Daily Truck Traffic,California State Highway System(Caltrans,2005).

The volume in the HOV lanes and the PCE columns,factoring in the truck volumes,are used to determine the PCE volumes in the peak direction in the GP lanes.The peak PCEs per hour per lane are computed and used to determine the LOS. T6072006=COISS316.DOC/061880005 7 2.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS The LOS grades(A through F) are based on the criteria presented in the HCM.The criteria for freeway segments are summarized in Table 5;for urban streets(Brookhurst Street segment), refer to Table 6.Based on Table 7(Exhibit 12-10 of the HCM), the SR-46 segment is considered a CIass I two-lane highway. Corcoran Road and Garces Highway segments are considered Class II two-lane highways.The capacity of a two-lane highway is estimated to be 17,000 PCE/hour/lane, based on the HCM.Specific estimates of LOS are not available, but given the volumes on these roadways,LOS C or better is expected.

N/A: Not Applicable—Urban streets operate at LOS C. LOS numbers indicate threshold volumes or worse, by definition. For example, 900 vehicles on a one-lane facility is LOS F, because 900 exceeds the 890 service volume limit for LOS E. TABLE 7 Two-Lane Highway Classes Class Description I Highways on which motorists expect to travel at relatively high speeds,including major intercity routes, primary arterials,and daily commuter routes. II Highways on which motorists do not necessarily expect to travel at high speeds,including access routes,scenic and recreational routes,which are not primarily arterials,and routes through rugged terrain. Source: HCM(TRB,2000), Exhibit 12-10. "The LOS for Class I highways on which efficient mobility is paramount is defined in terms of both percent time- spent-following and average travel speed. On Class II highways,mobility is less critical,and LOS is defined only in terms of percent-time-spent-following." T13072006003SCasS316.130C106188M 9 2.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS 2.6 Haul Analysis A worst-case scenario was adopted for the analysis of the proposed biosolids hauling.This worst-case assumption is that all trucks will be in the same lane,within the a.m. peak hour, and traveling in the same direction,with a total of 15 PCEs added to the haul volumes. Using this assumption,the LOS of each segment is calculated for the Haul scenario,which accounts for the additional biosolids-hauling trucks. A PCE of 1.5 is the appropriate factor considering overall roadway route grades. A refined level of study would incorporate slope conditions of individual segments.The volumes and LOS are summarized in Table 8.Even by considering the worst-case scenario,the percent increase in peak PCEs per hour per lane is less than 1.5 percent on all freeway segments and less than 2 percent on the arterial segments in Orange County.There are no changes in LOS on these facilities.The percentage changes in volumes on the two-lane roadways(SR-46,Corcoran Road,and Garces Highway)are higher,but the LOS will remain C or better. 2.7 Cumulative Traffic Impacts The PEIR(Sanitation District,1999)analyzed the environmental impacts of biosolids hauling over the next 20 years.Potential traffic impacts associated with biosolids hauling operations from both Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 were found to be less than significant with mitigation. Additionally,traffic impacts associated with increased biosolids and chemical truck trips on the regional transportation network,especially on freeways such as Interstate(I)405 and I-5,were found to be less than significant with mitigation. On May 25,2005,the Sanitation District Board of Directors certified the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report(SEIR)for the Secondanj Treatment and Plant Improvement Project (Sanitation District,2005).The SEIR analyzed the environmental impacts of numerous improvements at Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 required to achieve secondary treatment standards.The SEIR found that the operations impacts would not substantially increase traffic levels over existing conditions or road capacity.The cumulative traffic impacts of the increased biosolids truck trips from and to both Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 were found to be less than significant with mitigation because(1) the total truck volumes were low compared to the existing traffic on the roads adjacent to the plants,and (2)the proposed mitigation measures would limit truck trips to off-peak hours,when possible. The proposed biosolids hauling from Sanitation District plants to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County is part of the implementation of the 1999 Strategic Plan and the Secondary Treatment and Plant Improvement Project.In this regard, the biosolids hauling to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County is only part of the ultimate biosolids hauling that was identified and evaluated in the PEIR and SEIR(Sanitation District,1999 and 2005).The proposed biosolids hauling to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County would not result in a new cumulative traffic impact from that identified in the PEIR and SEIR.

TB072006003SCOISS316.DOC/061BM5 11 3.0 CEQA Analysis The transportation criteria provided in the CEQA Environmental Checklist(Appendix G, CEQA Guidelines)were used to determine the potential significance of impacts related to biosolids hauling.The criteria and responses are provided below. 1) Could the Project cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? The traffic analysis findings are that there are no significant effects on the LOS or traffic operations.Even with the worst-case scenario,where all the trucks depart the treatment plants to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County at the same time,the percent change in volumes on the analyzed route segments is less than 1.5 percent of the freeway segments and less than 2 percent on the arterial segments.On the two-lane segments,there are higher percentages of volume changes, but the overall volumes are low.These increases will cause no measurable effects on the operations or the LOS of the analyzed segments. Furthermore,the potential traffic impact associated with proposed hauling to the Tule Ranch sites in Kern County is consistent with that identified in the PEIR and SEIR. 2) Could the project exceed, either individually or cumulatively,a level of service standard established by the counhj congestion manageiiient agency for designated roads or highways? The biosolids hauling process involves truck trips from Orange County to Kern County, passing through Los Angeles County.The LOS standards established by the Congestion Management Agencies(CMAs)of the three counties are listed below and checked against the LOS for each segment. Orange County The 2003 update of Orange County's Congestion Management Plan(CMP)states that,"The majority of local governments in Orange County designated the Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA)as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for the county.Since then,OCTA has been charged with the development, monitoring and biennial updating of Orange County CMP.The goals of Orange County's CMP are to reduce traffic congestion and provide a mechanism for coordinating land use and development decisions...Traffic Level of Service(LOS) standards are to be established for a system of highways and roadways designated by the agency.The system shall include at a minimum all state highways and principal arterials... Level of Service shall be measured by Circular 212(or by the most recent version of the Highway Capacity Manual),or by a uniform methodology adopted by the agency which is consistent with the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)... Within the defined CMP highway network,intersections and freeway segments are not allowed to deteriorate to a condition which is worse than LOS E,or the base year LOS if worse than E,without mitigation being prescribed in an acceptable deficiency plan.In the case of base conditions reflecting a LOS worse than E,'existing LOS' is defined as any increase in V/C ratio of up to 0.10 over the TB072006003SC0lSS318AOC106168M 12 3.0 CEOA ANALYSIS base condition. V/C ratio increases beyond 0.10 above the base condition are considered not to comply with CMP LOS objectives and shall require mitigation or a deficiency plan." Based on the calculations in this analysis,the increase in V/C with the proposed biosolids hauling is 0.005 (approximately 1/2 percent).The increases in V/C ratio are significantly less than 10 percent(0.10). Therefore,there are no impacts to the LOS standards for Orange County. Los Angeles County California Government Code Section 65089(b)(1) states that the Level of Service Element shall"in no case be less than the level of service E or the current level, whichever is farthest from level of service A. When the level of service on a segment or at an intersection fails to attain the established level of service standard,a deficiency plan shall be adopted pursuant to Section 65089.4." This is part of the Los Angeles County General Plan. Also,Objective 2.3 of the Los Angeles County CMP sets level of service standards that provide a reasonable balance between mobility and the cost of building and operating the transportation system... Establish level of service E or the current level,whichever is farthest from LOS A,as the LOS standard for intersections or segments on the CMP system of roadways... If the LOS was F, then a 10 percent or more degradation in the quantitative measure used to determine the LOS(such as delay, V/C,or travel speed)will comprise a deficiency, which must be addressed by a deficiency plan." Similar to Orange County,there are no predicted changes in LOS,and the increases in V/C ratio are significantly Iess than 10 percent(0.10).Therefore,there are no impacts to the LOS standards for Los Angeles County. Kern County The circulation element is one of seven elements mandated by the State of California Government Code 65302(b)to be included in general plan of local governments.Kern County's 5th objective of its circulation element is to maintain a minimum LOS of D for all roads throughout the County.No specific guidance is given for mainline freeway segments.Since the additional biosolids truck volumes are small and do not affect the overall LOS,no impacts to Kern County LOS standards are expected. 3) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in siibstantial safety risk? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on air traffic patterns.Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 4) Substantially increase Hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sluirp curves or dangerous intersections)or incoinpatible uses (e.g.,farin equipment)? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on design.Therefore,there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. TB072006003SCOISS316,DOC/06188M 13 3.0 CEQA ANALYSIS 5) Result in inadequate emergency access? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on emergency access.Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 6) Result in inadequate parking capacity? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on parking.Therefore,there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 7) Conflict 71 ith adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus hernouts, bicycle racks)? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on adopted policies, plans, or programs.Therefore,there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist.

Sanitation District(Sanitation District) operates and maintains two wastewater treatment plants located in Orange County,California.Reclamation Plant No. 1 (Plant No. 1) is located on Ellis Avenue, in Fountain Valley.Treatment Plant No.2 (Plant No.2) is located on Brookhurst Street,in Huntington Beach.This report summarizes the forecasted traffic impacts associated with biosolids-hauling trucks traveling from Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 to the South Kern Industrial Center(SKIC)Compost Facility in Kern County,California.The environmental impacts associated with receiving biosolids at the SKIC were evaluated in the Supplement to the Environmental Impact Report(EIR)for the SKIC Specific Plan,adopted on June 29,2004 (Kern County,2004). The purpose of this traffic analysis is to determine whether biosolids truck hauling operations will affect the level of service(LOS)on the routes between Sanitation District plants and SKIC.The analysis includes an assessment of the LOS on regional and local roadways with and without the addition of the biosolids-hauling trucks.LOS is defined by a volume-to-capacity ratio(V/C)ranging from A(V/C ratio 0.0 to 0.6)to F(V/C ratio over 1.0).Levels A through C are generally considered good operating conditions with only minor delays;LOS D is considered a fair operating condition with drivers occasionally having to wait through more than one signal at the intersection;LOS E includes longer delays with more common occurrences of drivers waiting through more than one signal; and LOS F is considered to have conditions of restricted flow. An assessment of the significance of potential traffic impacts was completed using the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)Environmental Checklist(Appendix G,CEQA Guidelines) for Traffic and Transportation.This report documents the methodology used,as well as the LOS assessment and findings of this traffic impact analysis. 1.2 Proposed Biosolids Hauling The proposed hauling of a combined total of 10 truck loads per day of biosolids from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 in Orange County to SKIC in Kern County is evaluated herein.The truck trips were considered in the 1999 Strategic Plan Progranc Environmental hupact Report (PEIR) (Sanitation District,1999), but the route from the Sanitation District plants to SKIC was not analyzed. For the purpose of this specific traffic analysis,truck trips would be using the route segments connecting the origin plants in Orange County to the destination SKIC Compost Facility in Kern County. Biosolids-hauling trucks would depart from PIant No.1 and Plant No.2 and travel to SKIC located on the newly constructed Santiago Road in Bakersfield,which is in Kern County.Trucks would travel through Orange,Los Angeles, and Kern Counties(see Figure 1).

Volumes and capacities are determined for the highest-volume portions of each freeway segment,and a corresponding LOS assessment is made. Adjustments for truck factors(passenger car equivalents [PCEs])are included in the V/C calculations.Similar calculations are completed for the arterials. • The biosolids hauling design year is the end of the current year since trucks are planned to haul biosolids to SKIC by November 2006. • Traffic counts are obtained through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)and local jurisdictions for the year 2004,which is the latest available.Traffic volumes for the design year(2006)are determined by extrapolating these data. • Analysis includes a base case without the proposed biosolids hauling(No-Haul scenario)and operations with the hauling(Haul scenario). The traffic analysis is comprised of five major steps: route selection process,analysis assumptions,existing conditions,No-Haul analysis,and Haul analysis.These steps are described in the following sections. 2.2 Route Selection Process Trucks will travel from Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 to SKIC.Figure 1 illustrates the planned route that will be used by truck drivers to haul biosolids from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 to SKIC.Table 1 summarizes the roadway segments along the planned route.

The number of biosolids-hauling trucks from PIant No. 1 and Plant No.2 to SKIC is assumed to be a combined total of 10 trucks per day,based on estimates provided by Sanitation District. As a conservative assumption,all trucks are assumed to be traveling during the a.m.peak hour, in the same lane of the peak direction.The number of trucks departing each facility is not known.Several combinations of truck departure schemes could be analyzed.However,the worst-case scenario is to assume that all 10 trucks per day will depart from one of the plants at the same time toward the renewable energy facility.This way, the maximum possible truck traffic impacts are assessed for each segment of the route. Additionally,biosolids-hauling trucks are assumed to use general purpose(GP) lanes throughout their entire trip to SKIC and back. TB072OD6003SCOISKIC SS315.000I06i88M 4 2.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS Traffic flow on high-occupancy vehicle(HOV) lanes is set at capacity(1,500 vehicles per hour per lane)l as a conservative assumption. The directional split factor(D)2 on the urban and rural streets is assumed to be 60 percent and applies to Brookhurst Street,Old River Road, Millux Road,and Hill Road. A peak hour flow factor(K)3 of 9 percent is used for Brookhurst Street and 10 percent on Old River Road, Millux Road,and Hill Road due to their rural characteristics.Since truck data on the latter three roads were not available,they are assumed to be 25 percent of the average daily traffic(ADT),based on typical values of truck percentages on surrounding roads,such as State Route(SR)-223,SR-43,and SR-1194. 2.4 Existing Conditions Traffic data were obtained from Caltrans and Kern County websites(Caltrans,2004;Kern County,2006).Traffic data were available for the years 2002,2003,and 2004.Volumes for the year 2006 are extrapolated using the available data. Table 2 provides a summary of the characteristics of the analyzed segments along the route from the Sanitation District plants to SKIC. Table 2 identifies the number of GP lanes and HOV lanes along each segment.For traffic,the data include the average annual daily traffic and truck volumes, peak hour traffic volumes,directional split of traffic in each direction (D),and the percentage of traffic in the peak hour(K). The HCM uses the concept of passenger car equivalents(PCEs) to account for the influence of trucks in traffic. For this analysis,truck volumes are converted into PCEs using the HCM procedures.The analysis is summarized in Table 3. First,the directional split factor(D) is used to convert truck flow in both directions to truck volumes in the peak direction.Then,using the K factor,truck volumes in the peak direction are converted into flow per peak hour.Finally,using the HCM conversion factor for the overall truck population(1.5), peak hourly volumes of trucks are converted into PCEs per peak hour and peak direction. The difference between the truck volumes and the equivalent passenger cars,which is shown in the last column of Table 3, is the volume that needs to be added to the regular traffic volumes to account for trucks. 1 Report by the Legislative Analyst Office,January 2000,titled,HOV Lanes in California:Are They Achieving Their Goals? (Long,2000). 2 The proportion of vehicles traveling in the peak direction during the peak hour:Usually,this factor is used to convert average daily traffic(ADT)volumes for both directions to volumes in the peak direction,which is critical to the analysis. 3 The proportion of vehicles traveling during the peak hour:Using this factor,the peak hour volume in the peak direction is computed based on the ADT volume for that direction.The peak hour volume is used to obtain the LOS,according to HCM 2000 guidelines. 4 2004 Average Annual Daily Truck Traffic,California State Highway System(Caltrans,2005).

The volume in the HOV lanes and the PCE columns,factoring in the truck volumes,are used to determine the PCE volumes in the peak direction in the GP lanes.The peak PCEs per hour per lane are computed and used to determine the LOS.

The LOS grades(A through F) are based on the criteria presented in the HCM.The criteria for freeway segments are summarized in Table 5;for urban streets(Brookhurst Street segment),refer to Table 6.The HCM urban street classification system considers both the functional category(i.e.,travel volume,mileage,and service characteristics)and design category(i.e.,speed limit,signal density,driveway/access-point density,and other design features).The functional component is separated into two categories: principal arterial and minor arterial.The design component is separated into four categories:high-speed, suburban,intermediate,and urban. Appropriate urban street class is determined on the basis of a combination of functional category and design category.Based on the characteristics of the local roadways,Old River Road,Millux Road,and Hill Road segments are considered a Class II two-lane highway(see Table 7[Exhibit 12-10 of the HCM]).The capacity of a two-lane highway is estimated to be 17,000 PCE/hour/lane,based on the HCM.Specific estimates of LOS are not available,but given the volumes on these roadways, an LOS of C or better is expected.

TABLE 7 Two-Lane Highway Classes Class Description I Highways on which motorists expect to travel at relatively high speeds,including major intercity routes, primary arterials,and daily commuter routes. II Highways on which motorists do not necessarily expect to travel at high speeds,including access routes, scenic and recreational routes,which are not primarily arterials, and routes through rugged terrain. Source:HCM(TRB,2000), Exhibit 12-10. "The LOS for Class I highways on which efficient mobility is paramount is defined in terms of both percent time- spent-following and average travel speed. On Class II highways, mobility is less critical,and LOS is defined only in terms of percent-time-spent-following." 2.6 Haul Analysis A worst-case scenario was adopted for the analysis of the proposed biosolids hauling. This worst-case assumption is that all trucks will be in the same lane,within a single peak hour, and traveling in the same direction,with a total of 15 PCEs added to the No-Haul volumes. Using this assumption,the LOS of each segment is calculated for the Haul scenario,which accounts for the additional biosolids-hauling trucks. A PCE of 1.5 is the appropriate factor considering overall roadway route grades. A refined level of study would incorporate slope conditions of individual segments.The volumes and LOS are summarized in Table 8.Even by considering the worst-case scenario,the percent increase in peak PCEs per hour per lane is less than 1 percent on all freeway segments,and less than 2 percent on the arterial segments in Orange County.There are no changes in LOS on these facilities.The percentage changes in volumes on the two-lane roadways(Old River Road,Millux Road,and Hill Road)are higher,but the LOS will remain C or better.

Class II Street=890 vph(Exhibit 10-7). 2.7 Cumulative Traffic Impacts The 1999 Strategic Plan includes a PER(Sanitation District,1999).The report discusses the traffic impacts of biosolids hauling over the following 20 years.Potential traffic impacts associated with biosolids hauling operations from both Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 were found to be less than significant with mitigation. Additionally,traffic impacts associated with increased biosolids and chemical truck trips on the regional transportation network, especially on freeways such as Interstate(I)-405 and I-5,were found to be less than significant with mitigation. On May 25,2005,the Sanitation District Board of Directors certified the Final Subsequent Environmental linpact Report(SEIR)for the Secondary Treatment and Plant Intproventent Project (Sanitation District,2005).The SEIR analyzes the environmental impacts of numerous improvements at Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 required to achieve secondary treatment standards.The SEIR found that the operation impacts would not substantially increase T8072006003SCOISKIC_SS315.DOC/0618=M 10 2.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS traffic levels over existing conditions or road capacity. The cumulative traffic impacts of the increase in biosolids truck trips from both Plant No. 1 and No.2 were found to be less than significant with mitigation because(1)the total truck volumes were low compared to existing traffic on the roads adjacent to the plants,and (2) the proposed mitigation measures would limit truck trips to off-peak hours,when possible. Cumulative traffic impacts associated with receiving biosolids at SKIC were evaluated in the Supplement to the EIR(Kern County,2004).The cumulative traffic impact evaluation section found that implementation of the project along with past, present,and reasonably anticipated future projects would not contribute to additional impacts to transportation and traffic.The document concluded that the incremental contribution of the project to a transportation and traffic impact was reduced to a level of insignificance through implementation of the legal/regulatory requirements and implementation of the Project Mitigation Measures. The proposed biosolids hauling from Sanitation District plants to SKIC is part of the implementation of the 1999 Strategic Plan and the Secondary Treatment and Plant Improvement Project.In this regard,the biosolids hauling to SKIC is only part of the ultimate biosolids hauling that was identified and evaluated in the PEIR and SEIR (Sanitation District, 1999 and 2005). The proposed biosolids hauling to SKIC would not result in a new cumulative traffic impact from that identified in the PEIR and SEIR. TB072006003SCO/SKIC_SS315,DOC1061880004 11 3.0 CEQA Analysis The transportation criteria provided in the CEQA Environmental Checklist(Appendix G, CEQA Guidelines)were used to determine the potential significance of impacts related to biosolids hauling.The criteria and responses are provided below. 1) Could the Project cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? The traffic analysis findings are that there are no significant effects on the LOS or traffic operations.Even with the worst-case scenario,where all the trucks depart the treatment plants to SKIC at the same time, the percent change in volumes on the analyzed route segments is less than 1 percent of the freeway segments and less than 2 percent on the arterial segments in Orange County.On the two-lane segments,there are higher percentages of volume changes, but the overall volumes are low. These increases will cause no measurable effects on the operations or LOS of the analyzed segments. Furthermore,the potential traffic impact associated with proposed hauling to SKIC is consistent with that identified in the PEIR,SEIR,and Supplement to the EIR for the SKIC Specific Plan. 2) Could the project exceed,either individtially or cuninlatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or higinvays? The biosolids hauling process involves truck trips from Orange County to Kern County, passing through Los Angeles County.The LOS standards established by the Congestion Management Agencies(CMAs)of the three counties are listed below and checked against the LOS for each segment. Orange County The 2003 update of Orange County's Congestion Management Plan(CMP) states that, "The majority of local governments in Orange County designated the Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA) as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for the county.Since then,OCTA has been charged with the development, monitoring and biennial updating of Orange County's(CMP).The goals of Orange County's CMP are to reduce traffic congestion and provide a mechanism for coordinating land use and development decisions... Traffic Level of Service(LOS) standards are to be established for a system of highways and roadways designated by the agency.The system shall include at a minimum all state highways and principal arterials... Level of Service shall be measured by Circular 212(or by the most recent version of the Highway Capacity Manual), or by a uniform methodology adopted by the agency which is consistent with the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)... Within the defined CMP highway network, intersections and freeway segments are not allowed to deteriorate to a condition which is worse than E,or the base year LOS if worse than E,without mitigation being prescribed in an acceptable deficiency plan.In the case of base conditions reflecting a LOS worse than E, TB07200600'iSCOiSKIC_SS315.DOCi00188M 12 3.0 CECIA ANALYSIS "existing LOS" is defined as any increase in V/C ratio of up to 0.10 over the base condition. V/C ratio increases beyond 0.10 above the base condition are considered not to comply with CMP LOS objectives and shall require mitigation or a deficiency plan." Based on the calculations in this analysis,the increase in V/C with the proposed biosolids hauling is 0.01 (approximately 1 percent).The increases in V/C ratio are significantly less than 10 percent(0.10). Therefore,there are no impacts to the LOS standards for Orange County. Los Angeles County California Government Code Section 65089(b) (1) states that the Level of Service Element shall"in no case be less than the level of service E or the current level, whichever is farthest from level of service A.When the level of service on a segment or at an intersection fails to attain the established level of service standard,a deficiency plan shall be adopted pursuant to Section 65089.4." This is part of the Los Angeles County General Plan. Also, objective 2.3 of the Los Angeles County CMP "sets level of service standards that provide a reasonable balance between mobility and the cost of building and operating the transportation system... Establish level of service E or the current level,whichever is farthest from LOS A,as the LOS standard for intersections or segments on the CMP system of roadways... If the LOS was F, then a 10 percent or more degradation in the quantitative measure used to determine the LOS(such as delay, V/C,or travel speed)will comprise a deficiency,which must be addressed by a deficiency plan." Similar to Orange County, there are no predicted changes in LOS,and the increases in V/C ratio are significantly less than 10 percent(0.10).Therefore,there are no impacts to the LOS standards for Los Angeles County Kern County The circulation element is one of seven elements mandated by the State of California Government Code 65302(b) to be included in the general plan of local governments. Kern County's 5th objective of its circulation element is to maintain a minimum Level of Service of"D" for all roads throughout the County.No specific guidance is given for mainline freeway segments.Since the additional biosolids truck volumes are small and do not affect the overall LOS,no impacts to Kern County LOS standards are expected. 3) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risk? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on air traffic patterns.Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 4) SubstantialIy increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections)or inconipatible uses (e.g.,farin equipinent)? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on design.Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. TBO72000 MCO/SKIC_SS315.DOCf061880004 13 3.0 CEQA ANALYSIS 5) Result in inadequate entergencly access? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on emergency access.Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 6) Result in inadequate parking capacity? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on parking.Therefore,there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 7) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or prograaus supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bits turnouts, bicycle racks)? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on policies, plans,or programs. Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist.

Biosolids hauling from Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 is anticipated to increase the net truck trips compared to the 2005 conditions. The anticipated increase in truck trips is described in the Sanitation District's 1999 Strategic Plan Progrmn Environmental Impact Report(PEIR)(Sanitation District,1999), which analyzed the environmental impacts of expanding treatment facilities over the next 20 years. Since the completion of the PEIR,the Sanitation District has expanded its biosolids management options to include beneficial reuse,specifically,biosolids processing into E-fuel at the EnerTech Renewable Energy Facility in San Bernardino County,California (EnerTech Facility). This report summarizes the forecasted traffic impacts associated with biosolids-hauling trucks traveling from Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 to the EnerTech Facility. The environmental impacts associated with receiving biosolids at the EnerTech Facility were evaluated in the Environmental Impact Report(EIR)for the Construction and Operation of a Regional Biosolids Processing Facilihj(City of Rialto,2004). The purpose of this traffic analysis is to determine whether biosolids truck hauling operations will affect the level of service(LOS)on the routes between Sanitation District plants and the EnerTech Facility. The analysis includes an assessment of the LOS on regional and local roadways with and without the addition of the biosolids-hauling trucks. LOS is defined by a volume-to-capacity ratio(V/C)ranging from A(V/C ratio 0.0 to 0.6) to F(V/C ratio over 1.0).Levels A through C are generally considered good operating conditions with only minor delays;LOS D is considered a fair operating condition with drivers occasionally having to wait through more than one signal at the intersection;LOS E includes longer delays with more common occurrences of drivers waiting through more than one signal;and LOS F is considered to have conditions of restricted flow. An assessment of the significance of potential traffic impacts was completed using the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)Environmental Checklist(Appendix G, CEQA Guidelines) for Traffic and Transportation.This report documents the methodology used and the LOS assessment and findings of this traffic impact analysis. 1.2 Proposed Biosolids Hauling The proposed hauling of a combined total of eight truck loads per day of biosolids from Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 in Orange County to the EnerTech Facility in San Bernardino County is evaluated herein. The additional truck trips that accommodate increasing volumes of biosolids were considered in the PEIR,but the route from the Sanitation District TB072006003SCOIENERTECH_SS317.DOG061910001 1 1.0 BACKGROUND plants to the EnerTech Facility was not analyzed. For the purpose of this specific traffic analysis,truck trips associated with hauling from the Sanitation District plants to the EnerTech Facility are anticipated to begin in 2008. Biosolids-hauling trucks would depart from Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 and travel to the EnerTech Facility located on Santa Ana Avenue in Rialto,which is in San Bernardino County.Trucks would travel through Orange, Riverside,and San Bernardino Counties(see Figures 1 and 2).

Volumes and capacities are determined for the highest-volume portions of each freeway segment,and a corresponding LOS assessment is made. Adjustments for truck factors(passenger car equivalents [PCEs])are included in the V/C calculations.Similar calculations are completed for the arterials. • A single horizon year(2008) is analyzed,based on expectations for the start of service at the EnerTech Facility,as determined by Sanitation District.Traffic volumes for the horizon year are determined by applying a simple growth rate. • Traffic counts are obtained through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and local jurisdictions. • Analysis includes a base-case without the proposed biosolids hauling(No-Haul scenario)and operations with the hauling(Haul scenario). The traffic analysis is comprised of five major steps: route selection process,analysis assumptions,existing conditions, No-Haul analysis,and Haul analysis.These steps are described in the following sections. 2.2 Route Selection Process Trucks will travel from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 to the EnerTech Facility.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the likely routes for trucks hauling biosolids from Plant No.1 and Plant No.2. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the roadway segments for each trip.The segments are numbered sequentially,with common segments between the two routes given the same number.For the few segments of the route that differ for the two plants,a letter preceding the segment number was used to differentiate the origin plant.

The number of biosolids-hauling trucks from Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 to the EnerTech Facility is assumed to be a combined total of eight trucks per day, based on estimates provided by Sanitation District. As a conservative assumption,all trucks are assumed to be traveling during the peak hour, in the same lane of the peak direction. The exact timing and combination of trucks departing each facility could vary.For this reason,the worst-case scenario of truck departure combinations is analyzed,and assumes that all eight trucks per day will depart Plant No.1 or Plant No.2 during the same peak hour. This assumption ensures that the maximum possible truck traffic impacts are assessed for each segment of the route. Additionally,biosolids-hauling trucks are assumed to use general purpose(GP) lanes throughout their entire trip to the EnerTech Facility and back. Traffic flow on high-occupancy vehicle(HOV) lanes is set at capacity(1,500 vehicles per hour per lane)l as a conservative assumption. Additionally, traffic volumes on the State Route(SR)-91 toll lanes(700 vehicles per hour per lane)are based on published statistics on the 91-Express Lanes website(Orange County Transportation Authority [OCTA],2006a). The directional split factor(D)2 on the urban streets is assumed to be 60 percent and applies to Brookhurst and Victoria Streets. A peak hour flow factor(K)3 of 9 percent is also used for Brookhurst and Victoria Streets.Truck volumes on local streets are assumed to be 5 percent of the average daily traffic(ADT), based on typical values in the HCM. 2.4 Existing Conditions Traffic data were obtained from Caltrans(2004) and OCTA(2006b). Traffic data were available for the year 2004,so that year is used as the base year for analysis. Table 3 provides a summary of the characteristics of the analyzed segments along the route from the Sanitation District plants to the EnerTech Facility. Since the routes from Plant No. 1 and PIant No.2 to the EnerTech Facility overlap,Table 3 includes the segments listed in both Tables 1 and 2.Table 3 identifies the number of GP lanes,HOV lanes,and toll lanes along each segment.For traffic,the data include the annual ADT and truck volumes,peak hour traffic volumes,directional split of traffic in each direction (D),and the percentage of traffic in the peak hour(K). The HCM uses the concept of PCEs to account for the influence of trucks in traffic.For this analysis,truck volumes were converted into PCEs using the HCM procedures.The analysis is summarized in Table 4.First,the directional split factor(D)was used to convert truck flow in both directions to truck volumes in the peak direction.Then,using the K factor, truck volumes in the peak direction are converted into flow per peak hour.Finally,using 1 Report by the Legislative Analyst Office,January 2000,titled,HOV Lanes in Cal fomia:Are They Achieving Their Goals? (Long,2000). 2 The proportion of vehicles traveling in the peak direction during the peak hour:Usually,this factor is used to convert average daily traffic(ADT)volumes for both directions to volumes in the peak direction,which is critical to the analysis. 3 The proportion of vehicles traveling during the peak hour:Using this factor,the peak hour volume in the peak direction is computed based on the ADT volume for that direction.The peak hour volume is used to obtain the LOS,according to HCM 2000 guidelines. TB072006003SC0lENERTECH_SS317.DOC1061910001 6 2.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS the HCM conversion factor for the overall truck population (1.5),peak hourly volumes of trucks were converted into PCEs per peak hour and peak direction.The difference between the truck volumes and the equivalent passenger cars,which is shown in the last column of Table 4, is the volume that is added to the regular traffic volumes to account for trucks.

The 2004 traffic volumes described in Section 2.4 are converted to 2008 volumes by applying an average annual growth rate of 1 percent.Table 5 is a summary of the LOS calculation for the 2008 No-Haul scenario.The volume in the HOV/toll lanes and the PCE columns, factoring in the truck volumes,are used to determine the PCE volumes in the peak direction in the GP lanes.The peak PCEs per hour per lane are computed and used to determine the LOS. The LOS grades(A through F)are based on the criteria presented in the HCM(refer to summaries in Table 6 [freeway] and Table 7 [arterial]).The HCM urban street classification system considers both the functional category(i.e., travel volume,mileage,and service characteristics)and design category(i.e.,speed limit,signal density, driveway/access-point density,and other design features).The functional component is separated into two categories: principal arterial and minor arterial.The design component is separated into four categories:high-speed,suburban,intermediate,and urban. Appropriate urban street class is determined on the basis of a combination of functional category and design category.Based on the characteristics of the local roadways,and Exhibits 10-3 through 10-6 of the HCM,the two urban street segments are assumed to be Class H.

N/A: Not Applicable—Urban streets operate at LOS C. LOS numbers indicate threshold volumes or worse, by definition. For example,900 vehicles on a one-lane facility is LOS F,because 900 exceeds the 890 service volume limit for LOS E. 2.6 Haul Analysis A worst-case scenario was adopted for the analysis of the proposed biosolids hauling. This worst-case assumption is that all trucks will be in the same lane,within the peak hour,and traveling in the same direction,with a total of 12 PCEs added to the No-Haul volumes. Using this assumption, the LOS of each segment is calculated for the Haul scenario,which accounts for the additional biosolids-hauling trucks. A PCE of 1.5 is the appropriate factor considering overall roadway route grades. A refined level of study would incorporate slope conditions of individual segments. The volumes and LOS are summarized in Table 8.Even by considering the worst-case scenario, the percent increase in peak PCEs per hour per lane is less than 0.6 percent on all freeway segments and less than 3 percent on the arterial segments. As shown in Table 8,there are no changes in LOS. 2.7 Cumulative Traffic Impacts The PERZ(Sanitation District,1999)analyzed the environmental impacts of biosolids hauling over the next 20 years.Potential traffic impacts associated with biosolids hauling operations from both Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 were found to be less than significant with mitigation. Additionally,traffic impacts associated with increased biosolids and chemical truck trips on the regional transportation network,especially on freeways such as Interstate(1)405 and I-5,were found to be less than significant with mitigation. On May 25,2005,the Sanitation District Board of Directors certified the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR)for the Secondary Treatment and Plant hnprovement Project. The SEIR analyzed the environmental impacts of numerous improvements at Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 required to achieve secondary treatment standards.The SEIR found that the operations impacts would not substantially increase traffic levels over existing conditions or road capacity.The cumulative traffic impacts of the increased biosolids truck trips from and to both Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 were found to be less than significant with mitigation because(1) the total truck volumes were low compared to the existing traffic on the roads adjacent to the plants,and (2) the proposed mitigation measures would limit truck trips to off-peak hours,when possible.

Class II Street=890 vph (Exhibit 10-7). Cumulative traffic impacts associated with receiving biosolids at the EnerTech Facility were evaluated in the EIR for the biosolids processing facility(City of Rialto,2004).The cumulative traffic impact evaluation section found that without project traffic,there would be a reduction in LOS due to anticipated growth in the area;the addition of project traffic would not significantly contribute to the deterioration of the LOS.The document concluded that the addition of project traffic would result in a less than significant cumulative impact. The proposed biosolids hauling from Sanitation District plants to the EnerTech Facility is part of the implementation of the 1999 Strategic Plan and the Secondary Treatment and Plant Improvement Project.In this regard, the biosolids hauling to the EnerTech Facility is only part of the ultimate biosolids hauling that was identified and evaluated in the PEIR and SEIR(Sanitation District,1999 and 2005).The proposed biosolids hauling to EnerTech would not result in a new cumulative traffic impact from that identified in the PEIR and SEIR. TB072006003,SCO/ENERTECH_SS317.DOC/061910001 11 3.0 CEQA Analysis The transportation criteria provided in the CEQA Environmental Checklist(Appendix G, CEQA Guidelines)were used to determine the potential significance of impacts related to biosolids hauling.The criteria and responses are provided below. 1) Could the Project cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? The traffic analysis findings are that there are no significant effects on the LOS or traffic operations.Even with the worst-case scenario,where all the trucks depart the treatment plants to the energy facility at the same time, the percent change in volumes on the analyzed route segments is less than 1 percent of the freeway segments and less than 3 percent on the arterial segments.This increase would cause no measurable effects on the operations or the LOS of the analyzed segments.Furthermore,the potential traffic impact associated with proposed hauling to the EnerTech Facility is consistent with that identified in the PEIR,SEIR,and the City of Rialto EIR for the Construction and Operation of a Regional Biosolids Processing Facility. 2) Could the project exceed either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? The biosolids hauling process involves truck trips from Orange County to San Bernardino County, passing through Riverside County.The LOS standards established by the Congestion Management Agencies(CMAs)of the three counties are described below and were checked against the LOS for each roadway segment. Orange County The 2003 update of Orange County's Congestion Management PIan (CMP) states that "The majority of local governments in Orange County designated the Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA)as the Congestion Management Agency(CMA)for the county.Since then,OCTA has been charged with the development,monitoring and biennial updating of Orange County's CMP.The goals of Orange County's CMP are to reduce traffic congestion and provide a mechanism for coordinating land use and development decisions...Traffic Level of Service(LOS) standards are to be established for a system of highways and roadways designated by the agency.The system shall include at a minimum all state highways and principal arterials... Level of Service shall be measured by Circular 212,(or by the most recent version of the Highway Capacity Manual),or by a uniform methodology adopted by the agency which is consistent with the Highway Capacity Manual(HCM)... Within the defined CMP highway network,intersections and freeway segments are not allowed to deteriorate to a condition which is worse than LOS E,or the base year LOS if worse than E,without mitigation being prescribed in an acceptable deficiency plan.In the case of base conditions reflecting a LOS worse than E,'existing LOS' is defined as any increase in V/C ratio of up to 0.10 over the base than condition. V/C ratio increases TB072006003SC01EWERTECH_SS317.DOCl061910001 12 3.0 CEOA ANALYSIS beyond 0.10 above the base condition are considered not to comply with CMP LOS objectives and shall require mitigation or a deficiency plan." Based on the calculations in this analysis,the increase in V/C with the proposed biosolids hauling is 0.005 (approximately 1/2 percent).While LOS F conditions are predicted on I-405 and SR-55,the increases in V/C ratio are significantly less than 10 percent(0.10).Therefore, there are no impacts to the LOS standards for Orange County. San Bernardino County California Government Code Section 65089(b) (1) states that the Level of Service Element shall"in no case be less than the level of service E or the current level, whichever is farthest from level of service A.When the level of service on a segment or at an intersection fails to attain the established level of service standard,a deficiency plan shall be adopted pursuant to Section 65089.4."This is part of the San Bernardino County General PIan.Also,Objective 2.3 of the San Bernardino County CMP"sets level of service standards that provide a reasonable balance between mobility and the cost of building and operating the transportation system... Establish level of service E or the current level,whichever is farthest from LOS A, as the LOS standard for intersections or segments on the CMP system of roadways... If the LOS was F,then a 10 percent or more degradation in the quantitative measure used to determine the LOS(such as delay, V/C,or travel speed)will comprise a deficiency,which must be addressed by a deficiency plan." Similar to Orange County,there are no predicted changes in LOS,and the increases in V/C ratio are significantly less than 10 percent(0.10). Therefore,there are no impacts to the LOS standards for San Bernardino County. Riverside County Policy C2.1 of the Riverside County General Plan,Circulation Element, states that the county is to maintain the following countywide target LOS:LOS C along the entire County-maintained roads and conventional state highways. As an exception,LOS D may be allowed in community-development areas,only at intersections of any combination of secondary highways,major highways,arterials,urban arterials, expressways,conventional state highways,or freeway ramp intersections.LOS E may be allowed in designated community centers to the extent that it would support transit-oriented development and walkable communities.No specific guidance is given for mainline freeway segments.Since the additional biosolids truck volumes are small and do not affect the overall LOS conditions,no impacts to Riverside County LOS standards are expected. 3) Result in a cluinge in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risk? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on air traffic patterns.Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. TB072006003SCOIENERTECH SS317.DOC1061910001 13 3.0 CEQA ANALYSIS 4) Substantially increase luzzards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections)or inconipatible uses (e.g.,farm equipnnennt)? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on design.Therefore,there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 5) Result in inadequate ennergency access? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on emergency access.Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 6) Result in inadequate parking capacihj? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on parking.Therefore,there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist. 7) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or prograns supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? The proposed biosolids hauling would have no effect on adopted policies, plans,or programs.Therefore,there are no impacts associated with this element of the CEQA checklist.

TB0720060=O/ENERTECH_M317.DOC1061910001 15 RESPONSE TO KERN COUNTY'S 12/20/06 COMMENTS ON THE BIOSOLIDS ADDENDUM 1. Comment: OCSD provided inadequate notice of the Addendum to Kern County Response: The Addendum was prepared pursuant CEQA Guidelines Section 15168 (c) and 15164. The Board must consider the addendum along with the Final EIR before making a decision on biosolids contracts. Under Section 15164 (c), an addendum need not be circulated for public review and comment but may be included in or attached to the final EIR. Therefore, contrary to Kern County's assertion, OCSD was not required to circulate the document for public or agency review and comment. This requirement reflects the fact that OCSD has already conducted environmental review of its comprehensive biosolids management program in the PEIR, which contemplated a doubling of biosolids shipments, including an increase in shipments to Kern County and specifically Tule Ranch. Kern County and other public agencies had an opportunity to comment on the PEIR and its evaluation of its long range biosolids management plan at that time. Because the increase in biosolids shipments contemplated in the various contracts that are before the Board are within the increase contemplated in the PEIR, these contracts would not result in any new environmental effects of increase the severity of the significance of any previously identified environmental effects. 2. Comment: The Addendum's attempt to establish the "baseline"condition for biosolids hauling to Tule Ranch establishes that this information is not in the PEIR and that the PEIR did not examine the environmental effects of hauling biosolids from its treatment plant to Tule Ranch. Therefore, OCSD must prepare an Initial Study leading to either a Negative Declaration of EIR. Environmental effects that require further analysis include traffic, air quality, noise, and human hazards impacts, all of which were not addressed in the PEIR Response: As the Addendum explains, the PEIR analyzed a doubling of haul truck trips as part of its long term biosolids management program. At the time OCSD initiated preparation of the PEIR, OCSD was already hauling biosolids to various locations within Kern County, including Tule Ranch. The PEIR explained that "[i]n 1997, 100 percent of the District's biosolids were used for agricultural land application at sites in Kern County, Kings County, Riverside County and San Diego County. (1999 PEIR, p. 3-66). In fact, Figure 3-16, Biosolids Land Application Sites and Disposal Sites, of the PEIR depicts the location, contractors used, and number of miles of associated with hauling biosolids to land application sites in Kern County and Kings County, including Tule Ranch, Biogro and Pimagro, and one land application site in Kings County, Tule Ranch. Figure 3-16 notes that the land application sites in Kern County and Kings County are approximately 175 miles and 200 miles, respectively, from the treatment plants. The PEIR also established "baseline" condition for purposes of assessing the environmental effects of OCSD's long range biosolids management plan. The 527460.1 "baseline" represented the number of annual biosolids haul truck trips that OCSD was generating in 1997, when environmental review of the 1999 Strategic Plan commenced. As noted in the PEIR and restated in the addendum, OCSD was generating approximately 7,200 haul truck trips per year or 27 haul truck trips per day prior to the Board's approval of the Strategic Plan and certification of the PEIR. As noted in the Addendum, a portion of these trucks trips or approximately 2,755 annual truck trips (based on a two year average) or 11 trucks per day were hauling biosolids to Tule Ranch. Therefore, the Tule Ranch trips were part of the "baseline" condition described in the PEIR. In addition, the PEIR analyzed, in "program" level detail, the potential environmental effects of a significant increase in biosolids haul truck trips, including impacts on air quality, noise, and traffic. The PEIR evaluated the environmental effects that would result from an additional 9,640 annual biosolids haul truck trips or 38 daily haul truck trips. The purpose of the Addendum was to provide "site specific" or "project- level" analysis of the potential environmental impacts that could result from the Board's approval of certain contracts and its past approval of the 2000 Magan Contract. This analysis confirms that the increase in truck trips to Tule Ranch would not result in any new environmental impacts that were not already addressed in the PEIR or increase the severity of any previously identified significant environmental impact. As the addendum explains, after the Board approved the contract with Shane Magan in January 2000, OCSD increased the number of annual biosolids haul truck trips to Tule Ranch by an average of six (6) truck trips per day, which is well within the increase (38 trips) in daily truck trips contemplated in the PEIR. 3. Comment: The Addendum understates traffic, air quality, noise, and hazards impacts because it only considered the impacts of one way trips or trucks leaving the treatment plants, even though trucks are originating from the processing facilities. The Addendum should have assessed impacts based on round trips. Response: For purposes of analyzing the traffic and air quality impacts of an additional 9,600 biosolids haul truck trips, the PEIR assumed that the biosolids truck trips were "round trips." (See PEIR, pp.s 6.2-5 and 6.5-18). The PEIR assumed "two way trips at 400 miles per trip," which represented the approximate "round trip" distance between the treatment plants and Kern County. (1d.) Based on a "round trip" calculation, the PEIR concluded that Plant No. 1 would generate between 2.6 and 4.1 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per year and Plant 2 would generate between 3.8 and 4.32 million VMT per year depending on the treatment scenario that was adopted. As discussed in detail in the Addendum, the increase in biosolids trips to the Tule Ranch and Synagro facilities in Kern County are well within the VMT per year increase that was contemplated in the PEIR and which was the basis for assessing potential air quality and traffic impacts. The Addendum also studied potential route specific traffic impacts and concluded that the addition of biosolids trucks on the affected routes (freeways and arterials) would not have any measurable effects on traffic operations. The conclusion is based on each 527460.1 i contract's nominal contribution of additional truck trips (ranging from eight (8) to ten (10) truck trips per day) relative to the significant volume of traffic that travels daily on the affected roadways. While the Addendum only considered one way trips to the biosolids processing facilities, it is unclear from the comment how assuming "round trips" would affect the analysis the traffic impacts. Even assuming "round trips," the number of biosolids trucks traveling on any given roadway segment at any given time would not change. In other words, no additional truck trips would be added to the affected roadways that could cause a further deterioration in traffic operations. The same number of biosolids trips would merely be traveling in the opposite direction. While the potential traffic impacts of biosolids truck trips on the return route were not evaluated, it is reasonable to assume that traffic conditions along the return route would be similar during the peak traffic periods. 4. Comment: The Addendum's uses an improper"baseline"condition for Tule Ranch because the baseline fails to consider the "agronomic rate"at which biosolids can be safely applied. Addendum ignores a prior OCSD investigation that found excessive nitrogen loading at Tule Ranch rendering Tule Ranch unsuitable for continued biosolids application. Response: The Addendum appropriately establishes a "baseline" condition at Tule Ranch based on the "maximum permitted capacity" of Tule Ranch for the land application of biosolids. Because the various RWQCB permits do not, on their face, establish the "maximum permitted capacity" in terms of biosolids per acre, OCSD reviewed seven (7) years of Annual Biosolids Land Application Reports for Tule Ranch to determine, on average, how many tons of biosolids were land applied per acre at Tule Ranch. On average, Magan was land applying seventy-four (74) wet tons of biosolids per acre over a seven year timeframe. OCSD also contacted Mr. Magan directly for purposes of establishing a "baseline" condition. Mr. Magan indicated that a more conservative 50 WTs per acre should be used for purposes of establishing the "maximum permitted capacity." Therefore, the Addendum used the more conservative "baseline" of 50 WT/acre for purposes of assessing the potential environmental effects of increased land application of biosolids at Tule Ranch after the Board approved the contract with Shane Magan in January, 2000. Even if the Addendum were to assume a more conservative land application rate of 35 WT/acre, the average annual land application rate at Tule Ranch after the Board approve the 2000 contract never exceeded the "maximum permitted capacity." Based on this lower land application rate, Tule Ranch could have beneficially land applied up to 192,500 Wet Tons Per Year ("WTPY") of biosolids (35 WT/acre x 5,500 acres). As documented in the Addendum, on average, Tule Ranch was land applying approximately 160,500 WTPY of biosolids for a three year period (2000 to 2002) after the Board approved the Magan contract and increased shipments to Tule Ranch. This amount would have represented approximately 83% of the "maximum permitted capacity." 527460.1 5. Comment: The Addendum's analysis of traffic impacts is inadequate because (1) it failed to identify site specific haul routes to Tule Ranch & Synagro; (2) the site specific traffic studies were not attached to the Addendum; (3) it failed to consider round trips and therefore understates traffic impacts; (4) it failed to consider the wear and tear that would occur on local Kem roadways from the haul trucks. Response: In response to this comment, the Addendum has been modified to describe the site specific route that would be traveled to each of the facilities identified in the three (3) contracts. In addition, the site specific traffic studies have been attached as Appendix A, B, and C to the Addendum. As noted above, the PEIR assumed that long term biosolids production would result in a significant increase in biosolids trips in terms of VMT and the total VMT was based on round-trip truck trips to Kern County. While the site specific traffic study evaluated potential traffic impacts based on one way trips, this analysis does not understate potential traffic impacts as noted in Response to Comment No. 3 and confirms the PEIR's conclusion that traffic impacts would be less than significant. Finally, the purposes of the Addendum is document that major changes are not required to the PEIR that would trigger the need for a Subsequent EIR to adequately assess the impacts of biosolids hauling contemplated in the three (3) biosolids contracts that are before the Board. As the Addendum explains, the PEIR analyzed the environmental effects of a significant increase in biosolids haul truck traffic. The Addendum explains that the increase in truck trips contemplated under the contracts, which collectively amounts to 28 truck trips per day is well within the increase contemplated in the PEIR. Therefore, the PEIR analysis of environmental effects relating to, for example, air quality, traffic, and noise would not change. Regarding potential wear and tear impacts on local roadways, in 2002, Kern County evaluated the potential environmental effects of an additional 254 truck trips that would be generated by the biosolids recycling facility at the South Kern Industrial Center. (See Draft Supplement to Environmental Impacts Report, South Kern Industrial Center, dated June 2002 ("SKIC SEIR"), p 4.14-15—4.14-17). According to the SKIC SEIR, these additional truck trips would have a less than significant impact on local roadways. (ld.). The SEIR did not identify any significant environmental impacts relating to excessive wear and tear on Kern County roadways due to the potential increase in truck trips. As discussed in the Addendum, OCSD intends to haul ten (10) truck trips per day of biosolids to the SKIC for processing at the Synagro facility. This amounts to approximately five (5) percent of the total truck trips accessing the facility everyday. Similarly, the Addendum assumes that OCSD was hauling an additional six (6) truck trips per day to Tule Ranch after the Board approved the 2000 contract with Magan (note: the traffic study conservatively estimated an additional ten (10) trips.). If an additional 254 truck trips would not create any significant wear and tear impacts on Kern County roadways then it is unclear how six (6), eight (8) or even ten (10) truck trips would create significant wear and tear requiring more detailed analysis in the Addendum or an EIR. 6. Comment: The Addendum's analysis of noise impacts is inadequate because it fails to consider site specific noise impacts in Kern County and instead only addresses 527460.1 a potential noise impacts on roadways near the treatment plants, including Ellis and Brookhurst Streets. Response: As the Addendum explains, site specific noise impacts were addressed in the site specific environmental review that was conducted in conjunction with the permitting of the Tule Ranch and the Synagro facility in the South Kern industrial Center. For example, according to the SKIC SEIR, "no noise sensitive land uses exist, or are presently planned, within the vicinity of the project site....The nearest permitted residential dwelling is located approximately one and half mile to the north of the facility." (SKIC SEIR, p. 4.11-2). Therefore, the Synagro facility at the SKIC would not have any significant noise impact due to an increase in trucks accessing the facility. Under the proposed Synagro contract, OCSD would generate eight (8) of the 264 daily truck trips accessing the SKIC every day. Regarding Tule Ranch, OCSD was shipping eleven (11) truck loads per day of biosolids to Tule Ranch prior to January 2000 when the Board approved the Magan contract. In addition to OCSD biosolids shipments, other sanitary sewer providers in southern California were hauling approximately 92,000 WTPY of biosolids to Tule Ranch. Therefore, Tule Ranch was already generating noise impacts from biosolids haul truck trips entering and leaving the facility. Moreover, as the Addendum explains, Tule Ranch could accept a far greater number of haul truck trips based on its "maximum permitted capacity." Even after the Board approved the Magan contract and increased the number of biosolids shipments to Tule Ranch, Tule Ranch was still operating well below its permitted capacity. 7. Comment: The Addendum's analysis of air quality impacts is inadequate because (1) it fails to analyze air quality impacts along the haul routes to Tule Ranch and Synagro (2) fails to identify the "baseline"condition along routes in Kern County, which are within then San Joaquin Valley Basin, a severe non-attainment area for ozone (03) and serious nonattainment for particulate matter(PM10); (3) it fails to analyze potential Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC) impacts along affected routes from diesel particulates, (4) it fails to address potential air quality impacts that would result from the diversion of haul truck trips to Arizona and other areas due to local land use restrictions on the land application of biosolids in Kern and Kings County. Response: The Addendum concluded that any potential air quality impacts from the nominal increase in biosolids haul truck trips (six (6) to ten (10) trips) were adequately addressed in the 1999 PEIR because the increase in trips was well within the increase in biosolids truck trips contemplated in the 1999 PEIR. The comment does not explain how the addition of six (6) to ten (10) truck along haul routes to Tule Ranch and the Synagro facility in Kern County would create some new potentially significant air quality impact that requires further analysis in the Addendum or an EIR. As discussed in the Addendum, the PEIR's analysis of potential air quality impacts was based upon the projected air pollutant emissions of an additional 9,640 annual biosolids haul truck trips. The PEIR assumed that Tule Ranch in Kern County would be the destination for a portion of these trips. In addition, while the PEIR did not assess potential impacts on air 527460.1 quality in the San Joaquin Valley Basin ("SJVB"), and instead focused on impacts to the South Coast Air Basin, the analysis of potential impacts to the SJVB would be virtually the same considering that both the SJVB and the SCAB are in non-attainment for the same criteria pollutants, namely 03 and PM10. Finally, it is unclear from the comment how an additional six (6) haul truck trips would generate toxic contaminants, such as diesel particulates, would noticeably increase the amount of TAC that are currently generated by truck traffic along the affected routes. For example, the Traffic Impacts Analysis conducted for Tule Ranch contract documents that between 175 and 31,171 trucks per day travel along the route to Tule Ranch (See TIA, Table 2, p. 6). The Traffic Impacts Analyses for the Synagro and EnerTech facilities identify similar existing truck traffic volumes. The Synargo and EnerTech analyses note that between 1,077 and 26,085 and 149 to 23,186 trucks per day travel along the affected routes. Regarding a potential increase in air quality impacts related to increased shipments to Arizona due to Kings County and Kern County local land use restrictions, these land use restrictions were not in effect when the Board approved the Magan contract in 2000. The Kings County and Measure E were adopted in 2006. As the Addendum explains, one of the purposes of the Addendum is the comply with the Court of Appeal's ruling in CSD No. 2 v. County of Kern that OCSD was required to conduct CEQA review prior to approving the January, 2000 contract with Shane Magan. Therefore, the exercise required OCSD to essentially go back in time for purposes of conducting the CEQA analysis. When the Board approved the Magan contract in January 2000, the land use restrictions referenced in the letter would not have affected the CEQA analysis because they did not exist. 8. Comment: The Addendum does not address the potential land use impacts of biosolids disposal at Tule Ranch in light of the February, 2006 King County Ordinance that bans the land application of all biosolids, except class EQ biosolids and Kern County's Measure E that bans the land application of any biosolids. These restrictions will require OCSD to divert more biosolids to Arizona and other areas. Response: Please see Comment 7 regarding the scope of CEQA review of the Board's January 2000 approval of the contract with Shane Magan. These land use restriction were adopted in 2006, six years after the Board approved the Magan contract. 9. Comment: The Addendum does not comply with the CSD No. 2 v. County of Kern because the Addendum fails to analyze the potential hauling impacts on the "regional welfare." Specifically, the Addendum should address potential impacts of shipping increasing amount of biosolids out of Orange County for disposal in other counties, including Kem and Kings County. Response: The comment generally states that the Addendum needs to address potential hauling impacts on the "regional welfare." However, the comment fails to explain how a nominal increase in the biosolids haul truck trips will affect the regional welfare. Consistent with CEQA, the Addendum has been prepared to document the potential "site specific" environmental effects of hauling biosolids to Tule Ranch, 527460.1 u Synagro, and EnerTech. The Addendum, along with the site specific environmental review that has previously been performed for the receiver sites, adequately addresses the potential environmental effects of the hauling and disposal of biosolids at the receiver sites. 527460-1 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Meeting Date To 13d.of Dir. 02/28/07 AGENDA REPORT Item Number Item Number 8d Orange County Sanitation District FROM: James D.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Jim Herberg. Director of Engineering SUBJECT: POWER MONITORING AND CONTROL AT PLANTS NO. 1 AND NO. 2, JOB NO. J-33-3 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Black and Veatch for engineering services for Power Monitoring and Control at Plants No. 1 and No. 2, Job No. J-33-3, for an amount not to exceed $1 ,184,736. and 2. Approve a 20% contingency ($236,947). SUMMARY • The purpose of this project is to provide a power monitoring and control SCADA system which will protect the plants from power outage problems and will reduce the recovery time when problems do occur. The system will monitor and control the electrical distribution systems at both plants to better utilize our generation capacity during SCE power outages which will reduce the chance of spills. The system will provide increased safety to electrical maintenance staff by allowing operation of medium voltage and low voltage circuit breakers from a remote location. • Requests for Proposal were sent to seven engineering firms and three firms provided a proposal to the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District). • The proposed fee was evaluated on a task-by-task basis to determine each task's cost/benefit ratio. If the cost/benefit ratio for a task was determined too high and the task could be eliminated by having the Sanitation District staff perform it, the task was eliminated. Programming standards and programming database were such tasks. If the cost/benefit ratio for a task was determined to be too high and the task could not be eliminated. the fee was negotiated. In addition, the consultant was asked to propose alternatives to the design deliverables in the scope of work and Black & Veatch proposed several areas where the design could be streamlined without reducing quality. This negotiation reduced the proposed fee more than 50%. Some of the tasks that were eliminated or reduced may be reinstated depending on decisions made during the Preliminary Design Report phase. In lieu of signing a contract with tasks that may or may not be required.. a 20% contingency is requested. Page 1 PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS None.

Contract No. 7-47, for a total budget amount of $10.820,000. SUMMARY • This project will rehabilitate College Avenue Pump Station. The rehabilitation includes the design and construction of mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and controls, structural, landscape, and architectural improvements to bring the facility into compliance with the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Standards. • A Construction Cost Opinion was prepared by the Consultant and submitted with the Final Design Package. The construction cost is estimated at approximately $7,600,000. An increase to the existing budget is necessary to account for the Consultant's revised cost estimate. • The increase in cost is mainly associated with the demolition of the existing above ground building and the construction of a new above ground building, construction of a new access stair case structure to reach the mechanical room, by-pass pumping activities, additional landscaping, and the structural retrofitting of the dry and wet well structure. • All of the above work was not included in the original Scope of Work (SOW) because the Project Charter assumed that the existing building would be kept, and the wet well by-pass pumping requirements would not be so expensive. Also, the landscaping that is being required by the City of Costa Mesa was not included in the original SOW. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS • August 2004 — Approval of Professional Services Agreement with RBF Consulting for an amount not to exceed $941,576. Page 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This increase in the project budget complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of Authority. This item has been budgeted.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: REFUND CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION SERIES 2003 UP TO THE TOTAL $280 MILLION OUTSTANDING GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1 . Direct staff to issue new fixed rate Certificates of Participation (COP) debt sufficient to refund up to $280 million of COP Series 2003; and, 2. Authorize the General Manager to negotiate and enter into a sole source Consultant Services Agreement with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe to provide bond counsel and disclosure counsel services in an amount not to exceed $125,000. SUMMARY Current long-term tax-exempt interest rates continue to hover around historic lows, providing the Sanitation District with potential refinancing opportunities to reduce interest cost. One opportunity is the economic refunding of the Sanitation District's outstanding COP Series 2003. According to the District's financial advisor, Public Resources Advisory Group (PRAG), many maturities of this issue may be advance refunded for significant economic savings under current market conditions in excess of three (3) percent as the minimum present value savings as required by the Sanitation District's debt policy. Approval of the recommended actions above will direct staff to begin the advanced refunding of part, or all, of the Series 2003 $280 million outstanding fixed-rate debt and retain the bond counsel firm of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe to assist in the debt issuance. Staff will continue to work with the financial advisory firm of PRAG. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS In October of 2006, the Board renewed the financial advisory service contract with PRAG for an additional five-year period beginning with fiscal year 2006-07. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The District currently has five series of COPs outstanding comprising a total par amount of $791.0 million. The following table describes each COP in detail.

(3)Variable rate debt swapped to a fixed rate through maturity. The Series 2000 refunded the $179.7 million outstanding principal balance of the 1990-92 Series "A," "B" and "C COPs, and reimbursed the District for improvements made to the wastewater treatment system. The 1993 Refunding COPS were issued to refund $39.7 million of the Series "B" COPS. The Series 1992 Refunding COPS refunded the 1986 COPS ($107 million) issued on behalf of District Nos. 1 , 2, and 3. The 1992 Refunding COPS also refunded approximately $38.4 million of the Series "B" COPS, issued in 1991.

A total of up to $1.2 billion in COP debt issuance is being proposed over the next ten years with a new issuance scheduled approximately every year for at least the next six years. These financings are needed early in the 10-year capital improvement program because the bulk of the construction is scheduled during the next seven years. Due to the current low interest rate environment, staff is proposing to refund at least $84.0 million of COP Series 2003 maturing in years 2027 through 2030 with annual coupon rates of 5.25 percent, as shown in the chart below. Additional bond maturities may be proposed to be refunded depending on the existing market rates at the time of issuance.

Staff is now proposing that bond counsel services be retained for this refinancing immediately to take advantage of this low interest rate environment. It is requested that the Finance and Administrative Committee authorize staff to engage Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe for this project. Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe has provided legal services on various matters related to the District's existing COP financing program, and is therefore, intimately familiar with the legal documents and structures of the District's COP issues. Most recently, they have assisted staff efforts related to the issuance of the COP Series 2006 and COP Series 2003. Costs for legal services would be reimbursed from the proceeds of the new COP upon successful completion of the issuance. Orrick, Form No.DW-102-3 Agenda Report—F&A Dept.151 Revised:0110&07 Page 3 i Herrington & Sutcliffe has also developed a working knowledge of the industry through the completion of similar financings. Given the knowledge and experience that both firms can contribute to the proposed issuance, it is estimated that it can be accomplished in approximately 100 days, as illustrated by the timeline below. Staff would negotiate a professional services agreement Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, for execution by the General Manager. Due to the fact that this is a fixed-rate debt issuance, staff is proposing to issue this debt through a competitive sale because it is the most expeditious way to access the market and it is expected to provide the lowest interest cost for this given structure. ➢ Negotiate professional services agreement with bond counsel ➢ Issue Bank, Printer and Verification Agent Request for February Proposals ➢ March ➢ Select Bank, Printer and Verification Agent ➢ Develop legal documents ➢ Develop disclosure documents(Official Statement) ➢ Develop rating agency presentation April ➢ Conduct rating agency presentations ➢ Finalize debt service and cash flow modeling ➢ Finalize legal and disclosure documents ➢ Conduct Competitive Sale of Fixed Rate COP 2007 May ➢ Execute COP 2007 Refunding issue ➢ Investment of Bond Proceeds ➢ Debt Administration All costs involved in the COP issuance, including costs for Orrick and for PRAG will be paid from the proceeds of the new issue.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: SELECTION OF INSURANCE BROKER(S) OF RECORD FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT'S PROPERTY, LIABILITY, AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION PROGRAMS AND OTHER COVERAGE SERVICES GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve the selection of Alliant Insurance Services, Inc., to serve as Property, Liability, and Workers' Compensation Insurance Broker of Record for a one year period commencing on March 1 , 2007, with the option to renew for an additional four one-year periods at an average commission rate per line of insurance of eight (8) percent. SUMMARY Staff has completed a competitive proposal process to ensure that the Sanitation District receives a high, timely level of property, liability, workers' compensation, and other coverage broker services, at competitive prices. A request for proposal was sent to nineteen (19) large and regional insurance brokerage firms. A total of four (4) firms submitted a proposal. Following the initial review of the proposals, three (3) proposals were deemed responsive and were included in the interview process. Following the interviews of these three (3) firms, the Proposal Review Team determined that Alliant Insurance Services, Inc., the Sanitation District's current broker of record, was the firm that could best demonstrate a high and timely level of services at the best value. Staff is recommending that Alliant Insurance Services be retained as the District's broker of record at an average commission rate per line of insurance of approximately eight (8) percent. This is the same average that was paid during FY 2006-07. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS In December 1996, following a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process involving large insurance brokerage firms, the Board selected Robert F. Driver Associates of Newport Beach (now known as Alliant Insurance Services, Inc.) to serve as the Broker of Record for the Sanitation District's insurance coverage needs. In December 2006, the Finance, Administration and Human Resources Committee authorized staff to conduct a new RFP for Insurance Broker of Record services, to make certain that the District continues to receive competitive professional services on a timely basis. Form No.DW-102-3 Agenda Report—F&A Dept 151 Revised:01108107 Page 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RFP PROCESS Staff prepared a comprehensive RFP covering property, liability, and workers' compensation programs and other coverage services. The RFP provided all firms with an equal opportunity to submit proposals for these services that were to include quotes for compensation based on a commission based structure and a fee-based structure. On December 22, 2006, the RFP was sent to nineteen (19) large and regional insurance brokerage firms. On January 23, 2007, the Sanitation District received four (4) proposals from the following firms: • Alliant Insurance Services • Aon Risk Services Inc. of Southern California • Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services • Willis Insurance Services of Orange County One of the two largest insurance brokerage firms in the United States, Marsh & McLennan Companies, declined to propose and stated in a letter to the Sanitation District that the insurance programs that the Sanitation District participates in, has consistently been less expensive than what is available in the open commercial market and that pricing realities would likely preclude them from being competitive. RESULTS OF PROPOSAL EVALUATION A Proposal Review Team, consisting of the District's Director of Finance and Administrative Services, Controller, Principal Risk and Insurance Analyst, Principal Accountant, and the Administrative Assistant over Insurance Contracts evaluated the four (4) written proposals. Following the initial review of the proposals, the Proposal Review Team determined that three (3) of these firms, Alliant Insurance Services, Aon Risk Services, Inc., and Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, were responsive as to services provided, experience in servicing public agencies, and demonstrated a willingness to meet the Sanitation District's time lines. and were scheduled for interviews. Following the interviews, Alliant Insurance Services stood apart from the other firms in convincing the Proposal Review Team that, because of their broad base in the public agencies insurance market, they could save the Sanitation District 20 to 25 percent on insurance premiums on each line of insurance at the same coverage amounts and self- insured retentions. Even the other two firms interviewed acknowledged Alliant Insurance Services' purchasing power advantage, and focused instead on other Risk Management services their firms had to offer. Alliant Insurance Services was also committed to keeping the Board of Directors apprised on the current insurance market conditions and providing insurance renewal proposals within the stated deadlines. Form N0.DW-102-3 Agenda Report-F&A Dept.151 Revised 01/08/07 Page 2 CONCLUSIONS Alliant Insurance Services serves more than 1,500 special districts, 56 of the 58 California Counties, over 600 cities, numerous joint power authorities, in excess of 150 school districts, the California State University System, several large transit districts, and the State of California. In addition, they have several unique proprietary programs, such as the Public Entity Property Insurance (PEPIP) and the Alliant National Municipal Liability (ANIMAL). PEPIP has over $170 billion in insured values in more than thirty states, is the largest property insurance program in the world, and offers members leveraged buying power with the additional benefits of flexibility, broader coverage provisions, and lower premium rates of group program purchasing power. Similar to its PEPIP counterpart, ANIMAL was designed to capitalize on the flexibility, broader coverage provisions, and lower premium rates of group program purchasing power. With member premiums approximating $14 million, public agency clients maintain the capability of designing excess liability coverage limits and deductibles specific to individual needs without the necessity of formal membership requirements. The most significant program development in recent years, the California Public Entity Insurance Authority (now CSAC) was formed in 2001 to afford all public agencies in California access to CSAC Enrolled Insurance Authority's insured and self-insured workers' compensation program. Given the disintegration of the 2002 and 2003 workers' compensation marketplace and the ongoing restrictive excess workers compensation insurance environment, Alliant Insurance Services has been able to offer the only meaningful alternative to hundreds of California public agencies. Based on the results of the public bid process, staff recommends retaining Driver Alliant as the District's broker of record. This complies with the authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of Authority. This item has been budgeted. ATTACHMENTS 1.

This approximates the updated inflation of three point three percent* that is projected for 2007. *(Chapman University December 2006 Economic and Business Review) Revenue Assumptions ■ The District rate for a single-family residence (SFR) will increase 9.8% to $182.05. ■ Rate adjustment notification is not required as the rates will not exceed the maximum amount possible for the fifth year of the five year rate schedule per the last notification. • Any change in Board direction regarding the SFR rate assumption will be included in the final budget. Note: Each $1 increase in SFR rate will generate approximately S900,000 per year. ■ Property taxes will be budgeted to increase five percent over last year, an approximate increase of $2.7 million. ■ Interest income will be budgeted at four percent of the projected average cash and investment balance for FY 2007-08. Operating Assumptions ■ Average daily flow for FY 2007-08 is estimated to be the same as the FY 2006-07 projection of 250 million gallons per day (mgd). The FY 2005-06 final flow was 234 mgd. ■ All existing secondary treatment facilities will be operated and maintained at full capacity. ■ Interim disinfection facilities will be operated and maintained at existing levels and cost. ■ Operating expenses are expected to approximate the adopted FY 2007-08 budget. Staffing Assumptions ■ Authorized staffing will be no higher than the current authorization of 644.0 FTEs. ■ A 5% vacancy factor has been budgeted for FY 2007-08 for authorized positions. ■ MOUs for OCEA, Local 501, and SPMT are being negotiated for FY 2007-08. No salary or benefit adjustments will be included in the budget. Reserve Assumptions ■ The current reserve policy was reviewed by the District's financial adviser, Public Resources Advisory Group, and the Board during FY 2003-04 with no changes. Debt Financing Assumptions — Certificates of Participates (COP) ■ The District will continue to use COPs as the primary method of financing its capital program. COP funds will only be used for capital expenses. ■ The District will issue COPs of$300 million in FY 2007-08. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Assumptions ■ The FY 2007-08 CIP Cash flow is based on the current Validated CIP. ■ The baseline CIP for FY 2007-08 is $338.8 million. Form No.OW-102-3 Agenda Report-F&A Dept.151 Revised,01/08/07 Page 2 1 a' b FY 2007-08 Preliminary Budget Assumptions Economic Assumptions ■ 4% inflation projection was used for the FY 2007-08 budget. This approximates the updated inflation of 3.3% that is projected for 2007 by the Chapman University December 2006 Economic Forecast Report. Revenue Assumptions ■ Board ratification of Year 5 of the 5 year sewer service user fee rate schedule. ■ Anticipate the Single Family Residence (SFR) rate will increase 9.8% to $182.05. ■ Each $1 increase in SFR rate will generate approximately $900,000 per year. ■ No notification is required for the rate increase as the rates will not exceed 20%, the maximum amount possible for the fifth year of the five year schedule per the last notification. ■ Capital Facilities Capacity Charge (CFCC) only captures "additional growth" infrastructure costs. Existing facility, improved treatment, RRR, and support CIP will be captured through user fees. ■ The rate study completed in May of 2006 adjusted CFCC Fees as a result of escalation of the CIP to mid-point of construction and the lowering of flow projections out to 2020. ■ The rate study and resulting CFCC fee considers the impact from the change in flow projections for SAWPA and IRWD. ■ Permit user rates for flow, BOD, and SS will follow the most recent Rate Study. ■ Use 4,000 EDU connections for each year as that is the average for the past 10 years. ■ Annexation Fees capture both net current assets and equivalent property tax allocations totaling $4,235 per acre. ■ No annexation fees are budgeted for FY 2007-08. Two annexations are anticipated to occur in FY 2007-08, but the Board will be asked to defer the annexation fees until the properties connect to the sewer (approximately 220 total properties). ■ Property taxes will be budgeted to increase 5% over last year. A 5% increase in total assessed value (AV) will generate approximately $2.7 million over the prior year's estimated taxes. ■ The 5% increase is comprised of a 2% AV increase (authorized by the State Constitution) with the remaining increase resulting from AV increases up to market value which are authorized when property is sold at a higher value. ■ Interest income will be budgeted at 4% of the projected average cash and investment balance for FY 2007-08. ■ $300 million COP Debt Issuance is scheduled in order to assist in the funding of the $338.8 million CIP outlay scheduled for FY 2007-08. Form NO.DW-102-3 Agenda Report—F&A Dept.151 Revised:01108/07 Page 3 P FY 2007-08 Preliminary Budget Assumptions Operating Assumptions ■ The District will continue to treat dry weather urban run off up to 4 mgd for free with a 10 mgd maximum. • All existing secondary treatment facilities will be operated and maintained at full capacity. ■ Interim short-term disinfection facilities will continue to be operated and maintained at existing levels and cost. ■ Operating expenses are expected to approximate the adopted FY 2007-08 budget. ■ Average daily flow for FY 2007-08 is projected to be the same as the FY 2006-07 projection of 250 mgd. This is 1 mgd above the Interim Strategic Plan Update projection of 249 mgd for FY 2007-08. The FY 2007-08 projection is 17 mgd higher than the first 6 months this year. FY The 2005-06 final flow was 234 mgd. ■ Authorized Staffing will be no higher than the current authorization of 644.0 FTEs. ■ Minimal additional staffing requests are anticipated for FY 2007-08 and will be approved only to the extent that total FTEs do not exceed 644.0. ■ Vacant positions at 12/31/05 have been projected at 100% of step 4 for FY 2007-08. New positions for FY 2006-07 have been projected at 100% of step 3 for FY 2007-08. ■ A 5% vacancy factor has been budgeted for FY 2007-08 for authorized positions. The actual vacancy factor for FY 2005-06 was approximately 7%. ■ MOUs for OCEA, Local 501, and SPMT are being negotiated for FY 2007-08. ■ No salary adjustments (neither for COLA nor for step increases) will be included in the budget. ■ Benefits will be assumed to be provided at the current level. ■ Employer required OCERS contribution is estimated at a net 19.25% (20.15% was included in the adopted FY 2007-08 budget). The OCSD pickup of 3.5% of the employee's required contribution is budgeted to continue (current level of benefit). ■ Other employee benefits are assumed to increase 10% over the FY 2006-07 projections. ■ Training will continue to be budgeted at 2% of the regular salary budget and will be centralized in Human Resources. ■ The General Manager Contingency will be budgeted at 1% of the total budget for materials and Reappropriations will be budgeted at'/2% of the total budget for materials. ■ Resources for Strategic Initiatives will be included in the budget. ■ The operating budget will include all costs related to collection, treatment, and disposal.

Capital Improvement Program Assumptions ■ The FY 2007-08 CIP Cash flow Budget based on the Validated CIP is still the target. The baseline CIP for FY 2007-08 is $338.8 million. ■ The FY 2007-08 CIP budget will only increase for critical projects which were not previously identified in the Strategic Plan Update. ■ For the first half of FY 2006-07, $118.1 million of the $266.1 million CIP was expended, about 44.4%. Debt Financing ■ Continuation of COP issuances as needed to fund CIP and to maintain necessary reserves. ■ COPs will only be used for the CIP and capital expenses, not for operating expenses. ■ Capital financing plans including fewer borrowings and higher user fees will be considered. ■ Borrowing is proposed only for facilities that are funded by all users (replacement, rehab, improved treatment).
