ADDENDUM NO. 2 TO THE
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE
SECONDARY TREATMENT AND PLANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO.: 2004031076
LEAD AGENCY: Orange County Sanitation District
PREPARED BY: Integrated Program Management Consultants
DATE: March 2007
PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM:
On May 25. 2005,the Orange County Sanitation District(Sanitation District)Board of
Directors certified the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report(SEIR)for the
Secondary Treatment and Plant Improvement Project(Project)(SCH No.2004031076).
The SEIR analyzed the environmental impacts of numerous improvements at
Reclamation Plant No. 1 (Plant No. 1)and Treatment Plant No.2 (Plant No. 2)that are
required to achieve secondary treatment standards. Where appropriate,the SEIR
incorporated by reference relevant environmental analysis from the Sanitation District's
1999 Strategic Plan Program Environmental Impact Report. This addendum, prepared
in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) (Public Resources
Code Section 21000 at seq.)and its implementing Guidelines (California Code of
Regulations Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15000 at seq.), addresses an alternative to the
routing of construction truck traffic described in the SEIR. The Sanitation District Board
of Directors will consider this addendum in conjunction with award of the construction
contract for new activated sludge facility at Plant No. 1 (Job No. P1-102).
PROJECT MODIFICATION:
OCSD proposes to construct a new activated sludge facility for secondary treatment of
wastewater at Plant No. 1 located at 108" Ellis Avenue, Fountain Valley, California.
The major elements include six aeration basins,six secondary clarifiers, a sludge
pumping system, chlorination system, blower building and a power building.
Construction of the new facility includes truck traffic associated with earthwork and
concrete work. Construction of the new facility is expected to last approximately four
and one-half years. Periods of peak construction traffic are anticipated to occur in 2008
and 2009. For the SEIR,construction traffic was assumed to enter and exit Plant No. 1
through the main entrance off Ellis Avenue. However, due to substantial congestion at
the main entrance, OCSO proposes to route construction traffic associated with the new
activated sludge facility through a secondary entrance to Plant No. 1 off Garfield
Avenue. �T��EELLEE��LLEEgqyy(( ppEEF

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
This addendum describes and evaluates the environmental impacts of using an
alternative construction traffic route. As noted above,the SEIR was based on the
assumption that all construction traffic would enter and exit through the main entrance to
Plant No. 1 off Ellis Avenue. OCSD now proposes to divert construction traffic
associated with the new activated sludge project from the Ellis Avenue entrance to the
Garfield Avenue entrance. (See Revised Figure 3.8-3.) The proposed construction
traffic routing would relieve traffic congestion at the intersection of Ellis Avenue and the
southbound 1-405 ramps.
The new activated sludge facility at Plant No. 1 is described in Section 2.2.3 of the SEIR.
Impacts associated with construction traffic were evaluated in Section 3.8 of the SEIR.
For the SEIR,construction traffic was assumed to enter and leave Plant No. 1 through
the Ellis Avenue entrance. The SEIR concluded that during periods of peak Project
construction, the volume of traffic along local access streets (including freeway ramps)
would increase temporarily. The SEIR also concluded that once the Project was
constructed,vehicle trips on local access roads would increase slightly.
As documented in the SEIR, the Project would generate 22,750 soll trucks, 9,200
concrete delivery trucks,and 128,180 worker vehicles during 2008, the peak
construction year. Construction traffic associated with the new activated sludge facility
represents a portion of this traffic. The Black&Veatch Traffic Analysis, dated November
15,2006 documents that the new activated sludge facility would generate 15,850 soil
haul trucks,4.800 concrete delivery trucks and 42,700 worker vehicles during the peak
construction year
OCSD retained Parsons to analyze additional traffic impacts analysis along the
alternative route for peak periods of construction. The Parsons study, "Truck Traffic
Impact Analysis for Pt-102,"dated January 31, 2007, analyzed traffic at five
Intersections in Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach: Ellis Avenue and southbound
1.405 ramps; Garfield Avenue and Ward Street; Brookhurst Street and Garfield Avenue;
Brookhurst Street and Ellis Avenue; and Brookhurst Street and Talbert Avenue.The
study concluded that the Level of Service(LOS)at Ellis Avenue and the southbound
1-405 ramps would decline one level If OCSD were to direct all construction trucks at
Plant No. 1 through the main entrance on Ellis as proposed in the SEIR. The study
recommended that, to maintain traffic at acceptable LOS,an alternative construction
truck route be provided via the Garfield gate at Plant No. 1. During peak periods of
construction, the alternative route would help maintain traffic flow on Ellis Avenue, Euclid
Street, and 1-405 access ramps. The subsequent study also concluded that the
proposed traffic routing along Garfield Avenue would not result in an Increase in
construction or operation related transportation and traffic impacts from those described
in the SEIR. The additional traffic route along Garfield Avenue would not result in new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of significant
effects related to transportation and traffic from those determined in the SEIR.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR ADDENDUM NO.2 TO THE SUBSEQUENT
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE SECONDARY TREATMENT AND
PLANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT:
1. Environmental impacts of the Project including Impacts associated with the new
activated sludge facility at Plant No. 1 were evaluated in the SEIR that the OCSD
Board certified on May 25,2005.Significant unavoidable traffic Impacts associated
with the construction of the proposed Project were described In the SEIR.
2. To address traffic congestion associated with construction at Plant No. 1, an
alternative route for construction trucks to and from the south end of Plant No. 1
along Garfield Avenue in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley is proposed. This
alternative route will help alleviate traffic congestion along Ellis Avenue and at the
1-405 freeway access near the main entrance to Plant No. 1. This route was not
Identified in the SEIR.
3. As documented in the Black&Veatch traffic analysis, construction of the new
activated sludge facility at Plant No. 1 would generate a portion of the traffic trips that
were evaluated in the SEIR. Traffic impact analysis performed by Parsons
concluded that rerouting construction traffic associated with the new activated sludge
facility at Plant No. 1 through the entrance off Garfield Avenue would have a less
than significant impact on the Level of Service(LOS)at intersections along the
alternative route. The cited traffic analyses are available for review at the Sanitation
District Administrative Offices located at 10844 Ellis Avenue In Fountain Valley,
California.
4. The project modifications would not result in new significant environmental effects or
a substantial Increase in the severity of significant effects that were described and
disclosed in the SEIR. In addition, no new information of substantial importance,
which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of
reasonable diligence at the time the SEIR was certified, has surfaced that shows (1)
any new or substantially more severe Impacts; (2)any mitigation measures that were
considered Infeasible In the SEIR are now feasible; or(3)mitigation measures or
alternatives that are considerably different from those Identified In the SEIR which
would substantially reduce one or more significant effects.

EnerTech Completes Financial Closing for its Rialto Biosolids Facility
On April 2n°, EnerTech announced that the financing for its biosolids-to-energy
facility in Rialto has been completed and construction will begin immediately. The
transaction, valued at$150 million, was financed through equity and a combination
of tax exempt and taxable bonds. Deutsche Bank has agreed to purchase 100% of
the bonds. With this financing complete, EnerTech has obtained the commitments of
its investors, partners, and municipal customers to make the biosolids-to-energy
process in Rialto a reality.
The EnerTech facility will convert 225 tons per day of OCSD's biosolids, along with
450 tons of biosolids from the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County and the
cities of Riverside and San Bernardino, into renewable fuel. The renewable fuel will
be used by a local cement kiln as an alternative to coal. This facility will provide a

National Water Research Institute
April 2007 E-Newsletter
Dr. James Barnard of Black & Veatch to Receive NWRI's 2007 Clark
Prize
NW RI is pleased to announce that environmental engineer James L. Barnard, Ph.D.,
P.E., of Black &Veatch Corporation in Kansas City, Missouri, will be the fourteenth
recipient of the NW RI Athalie Richardson Irvine Clarke Prize for excellence in water
research.
For over 40 years, Barnard has researched and implemented better ways to conserve
water resources and improve wastewater treatment. His groundbreaking application of
bacteria to remove both nitrogen and phosphorous from water revolutionized wastewater
treatment processes, allowing treatment plants to employ Barnard's biological nutrient
removal (BNR) as a more economic and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional
chemical treatment.
Not only did Barnard create the process, but he also actively designs and supervises the
construction and start-up of BNR systems in various parts of the world, constantly
adapting his innovative technology to varying climates, existing infrastructure, and
environmental pressures. He even created a low-cost BNR design for developing
countries. It has been estimated that the hundreds of plants worldwide employing BNR
rather than chemical treatment processes have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in
costs. Another of Barnard's most notable achievements includes his 10-year service on
the Nitrogen Technical Advisory Panel for the New York City Department of
Environmental Protection, where he helped guide a $50 million BNR research and
development program for the Upper East River and Jamaica Bay areas.
Because of his pivotal research contributions and practical applications of biotechnology
to wastewater treatment processes, Barnard was selected as the 2007 Clarke Prize
recipient. The Prize will be presented to him on Thursday, July 12, 2007, at the
Fourteenth Annual Clarke Prize Lecture and Award Ceremony, to be held in Huntington
Beach, California. More information about the Clarke Prize may be found at www.nwri-
usa.om/ClarkePdze.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator. Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: SANTA ANA RIVER INTERCEPTOR (SARI) LINE LOAN AND
REPAYMENT AGREEMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Santa Ana River Interceptor(SARI) Line Loan and Repayment Agreement No.
D07-042 with the Orange County Flood Control District(OCFCD), providing for a
no-interest loan until July 2016, of 60%of the successful bid amount for improvements
to the SARI Line, for an amount not to exceed $60,000,000; and
Authorize the release of$35,000,000 to OCFCD immediately after the award of the
contract, and to allow the remaining balance to be released 12 months later.
SUMMARY
The County of Orange is in the process of constructing a significant improvement to the
Prado Dam; specifically, raising the height of the dam. This improvement will result in a
negative impact to the SARI Line. As the Prado Dam Improvement project sponsor, the
County is responsible for mitigating any negative impacts of the project. Mitigation may
cost as much as $100 million. It is anticipated that $70 million of this cost will be
ultimately supported with subvention funds. However, these funds will not be available
for at least five years.
Although the County acknowledges its responsibility, they are not in a financial position
to cash-flow the entire project. Because of the serious ramifications of this project,
OCSD, SAWPA, OCWD and the County have conducted a series of meetings to
address this issue.
To address this problem immediately, the following was tentatively agreed upon:
1. The County would cash-flow$30 million.
2. SAWPA would advance the project$10 million over a two-year period.
3. OCSD would advance the project $60 million over a two-year period.
a) OCSD would be reimbursed by the County.
b) The County would be primarily relying on State Subvention Funds.
c) The Subvention Fund reimbursement process has been improved.
d) This loan to the County would be from our reserves and would not impact
OCSD rates.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) is a department of the County of
Orange("County") responsible for providing control of flood and storm waters within the
boundary of the County of Orange, and of streams flowing into the County such as the
Santa Ana River or San Juan Creek; to mitigate the effects of tides and waves; and to
protect the harbors, waterways, public highways and property in the district from such
waters. The County is a member agency of Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD).
OCSD owns and operates the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor ("SARI"); a regional
sewer pipeline from the Orange County line to the OCSD sewage treatment plant in
Huntington Beach. The SARI was constructed as a joint project of OCSD and the Santa
Ana Watershed Project Authority.
OCFCD and OCSD wish to advance the protection and/or relocation of the SARI (the
"SARI Project") in response to existing conditions and the raising of the Prado Dam by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers(the Corps) and OCFCD. The SARI Project shall, to
the extent required by law, be publicly bid. The total amount of construction, design,
environmental and project administration costs is not currently expected to exceed one-
hundred million dollars ($100,000,000).
OCSD will benefit from the continued, uninterrupted use of the SARI and would,
therefore, benefit from OCFCD accelerating the protection and/or relocation of the SARI
Project as part of the Santa Ana River Mainstem Project. OCFCD plans to reimburse
OCSD from the State Flood Control Subventions Program.
OCSD would loan to the OCFCD 60% of the winning bid amount, plus design,
environmental and project administration (total project costs), for purposes of SARI
Project design and construction, up to the amount of sixty million dollars ($60,000,000),
thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) after the award of the construction contract, and
the remainder one year after initial deposit. If the SARI Project is publicly bid and the
total project cost exceeds one-hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), OCFCD and
OCSD shall meet and confer to determine if an increase in the Project loan amount is
warranted and feasible prior to award of the construction contract, recognizing that, if
such an increase is not warranted or feasible, the construction contract may not be
awarded.
The OCFCD agrees to repay OCSD all funds loaned by OCSD in three annual
installments beginning on or before May 1, 2012. If OCSD has loaned sixty million
dollars ($60,000,000) or more, repayment shall be in equal installments. If OCSD has
loaned less than sixty million dollars ($60,000,000), repayment in the first two years shall
be twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) each year with the balance repaid on or before
May 1, 2014. Reimbursement may be deferred only in the event of any delay in
OCFCD's receipt of State flood control subvention funds. However, the entire amount
due shall be paid no later than July 1, 2018, In addition, interest shall accrue on the
unpaid balance from July 2, 2016, at the interest rate of 3% (three-percent), as provided
in Civil Code, Section 3289 (b), until the unpaid balance has been repaid.

SUBJECT: GISLER-REDHILL TRUNK SEWER RELOCATION, PHASE 1
CONSTRUCTION, CONTRACT NO. 7-32-1
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Spec
Services, Inc. providing for construction support services for the Gisler-Redhill Trunk
Sewer Relocation, Phase 1, Contract No. 7-32-1, for an additional amount of
$44,550, increasing the total amount not to exceed $147,141.
2. Approve an 8% contingency for amendments to said agreement ($11,771).
SUMMARY
• The purpose of this project is to redirect flows from the 30-inch Gisler-Redhill Trunk
Sewer located at the John Wayne Airport northerly Main Street parking lot into the
existing 66-inch diameter Main Street Sewer to reduce flows to the College Avenue
Pump Station. This project also abandons a portion of the 30-inch Gisler-Redhill
Trunk Sewer which conflicts with future construction of a Caltrans transition ramp.
• The implementation of this project will save the Orange County Sanitation District
(Sanitation District) approximately $4,500,000 because this project will avoid the
need to upgrade College Avenue Pump Station by redirecting the flows to Main
Street Pump Station.
• Spec Services completed the preparation of the design plans and specifications for
Contract No. 7-32-1 in December 2006, and construction support services are
being requested as the project moves into construction. These services will include
reviewing submittals, responding to requests for information, preparing design
modifications, attending construction meetings and site visits, performing specialty
inspections, participating in commissioning activities, and preparing record
drawings. The cost for this additional work is estimated to be $44,550.

SUMMARY
• The new Delegation of Authority requires that contract contingencies be set prior to
July 1, 2007, on active projects that have already procured the services of a design
consultant and/or a construction contractor. These contract contingencies will be
authorized to be used by the General Manager. Projects that will be closed prior to
July 1, 2007, have the option of not setting a contract contingency and following the
old way of getting approvals directly through the committees or the Board of
Directors.
• For construction contracts, there is a program goal for change orders of no more
than 5%. Individual contracts will have goals set at above or below 5% depending
on the type of project. The contingency being requested includes previously
authorized change orders as well as projected change orders. These goals and
performance are tracked and reported to the Operations Committee every quarter.
• The Capital Improvement Program includes over 150 projects. Some projects are
complete, some projects are ongoing, and some have yet to begin. The total
construction contingency being requested is $22,090,098, which is 3.7% of the total
original contract value of$601,754,183. This total is less than the overall program
change order goal of 5%.
• Professional Design Services Agreements (PDSA) do not have an overall
contingency goal. Each project is so unique and dynamic that the goal is set after
consideration of the project specks.
• Attached is a list of the contingencies being requested including the overall value of
the contract.

SUMMARY
The Board of Directors has previously authorized the issuance of new fixed rate Certificates of
Participation (COP) debt sufficient to refund up to$280 million of COP Series 2003 and the
hiring of a financing team. The independent financial advisor is Public Resources Advisory
Group and the bond counsel and disclosure counsel is Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. Woodruff,
Spradlin & Smart, our General Counsel, has also been assisting staff.
The purpose of the financing is to take advantage of the current low interest rate environment
and to advance refund all or a portion of the COP Series 2003. 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 of savings as required by the
Sanitation District's policy.
The draft documents for the financing will be distributed to the rating agencies following the
Administration Committee meeting. These documents will be presented to the OCSD Board of
Directors and Financing Corporation on April 25, 2007 for final approval. Staff and consultants
will make a brief presentation and provide an overview of the draft documents and the financing
schedule at the Administration Committee meeting.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
September 26, 2001: Adoption of Debt Policy
October 25, 2006: Renewed Consultant Agreement with Public Resources Advisory Group
for an additional five years effective November 2006.
February 28, 2007: Directed staff to initiate procedures to refund Certificates of Participation

Participation (COP) debt.
February 28, 2007: Authorized the General Manager to negotiate and enter a Consultant

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The most recent Strategic Plan capital improvement program requires approximately$2.2 billion
over the next 10 years, of which approximately $1.2 billion is to be financed through long-term
borrowings in accordance with the District's long-term debt fiscal policy and cash flow
projections
The next new debt issuance of$300 million of COP debt is not scheduled until fiscal year
2007-08. 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 bold in the chart below. Additional bond maturities may be proposed
to be refunded depending on the existing market rates at the time of issuance.

The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation are required to adopt separate
Resolutions to complete this borrowing. Drafts of these two Resolutions are attached for
' review. A Financing Corporation is required by the structure of the COPS and was formed in
April 2000, solely to satisfy this need. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is the same as
the Board of Directors of the District and the Corporation meets after an adjournment of the
OCSD Board.
The OCSD Resolution authorizes the execution and delivery of certain legal documents and the
execution and delivery of Certificates of Participation evidencing principal in an aggregate
amount of not to exceed $315,000,000 all as spelled out in the title as follows:
"A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE
DISTRICT OF AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, A TRUST AGREEMENT, AN
ESCROW AGREEMENT AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT IN
CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT REFUNDING CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION, SERIES 2007A,
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUCH CERTIFICATES EVIDENCING
PRINCIPAL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF NOT TO EXCEED $315,000,000, APPROVING
A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SELL, AUTHORIZING THE DISTRIBUTION OF AN OFFICIAL
NOTICE INVITING BIDS AND AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE
OFFERING AND SALE OF SUCH CERTIFICATES AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND CERTIFICATES AND RELATED ACTIONS"
The Resolution of the Corporation is somewhat shorter and simpler. It authorizes three actions
that are similarly enumerated in the title as follows:
"A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT FINANCING CORPORATION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY BY THE CORPORATION OF AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND
A TRUST AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT REFUNDING CERTIFICATES OF

SUCH CERTIFICATES EVIDENCING PRINCIPAL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF NOT TO
EXCEED $315,000,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF NECESSARY
DOCUMENTS AND CERTIFICATES AND RELATED ACTIONS."
Copies of the Resolutions are enclosed with the agenda along with the Preliminary Official
Statement. To reduce reproduction and postage expenses, copies of the other documents are
not included, but will be available electronically within the Director's website prior to the Board
meeting.
Following is a chart listing the remaining steps to be completed for the issuance of the COP

upon each Certificate or portion thereof being prepaid the prepayment price and that from and after such
date interest evidenced thereby shall cease to accrue and be payable. With respect to any notice of
optional prepayment of Certificates, unless at the time such notice is given the Certificates to be prepaid
shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of the Trust Agreement, such notice shall state that
such prepayment is conditional upon receipt by the Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for such
prepayment, of moneys sufficient to pay for the prepayment price of the Certificates to be prepaid, and
that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the
District shall not be required to prepay such Certificates. In the event a notice of prepayment of
Certificates contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received,the prepayment of Certificates
as described in the conditional notice of prepayment shall not be made and the Trustee shall, within a
reasonable time after the date on which such prepayment was to occur,give notice to the persons and in
the manner in which the notice of prepayment was given,that such moneys were not so received and that
there shall be no prepayment of Certificates pursuant to such notice of prepayment.
The Trustee shall,at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to any prepayment date,give notice
of prepayment to the respective Owners of Certificates designated for prepayment by first-class mail,

close of business on the day before such notice of prepayment is given.
The actual receipt by the Owner of any notice of such prepayment shall not be a condition
precedent to prepayment, and neither failure to receive such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the
validity of the proceedings for the prepayment of such Certificates or the cessation of interest evidenced
thereby on the date fixed for prepayment.
Effect ofPrepaymert If notice of prepayment has been duly given as aforesaid and moneys for
the payment of the prepayment price of the Certificates to be prepaid are held by the Trustee,then on the
prepayment date designated in such notice, the Certificates so called for prepayment shall become
payable at the prepayment price specified in such notice; and from and after the date so designated,
interest evidenced by the Certificates so called for prepayment shall cease to accrue, such Certificates
shall cease to be entitled many benefit or security hereunder and the Owners of such Certificates shall
have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the prepayment price thereof. The Trustee
shall, upon surrender for payment of any of the Certificates to be prepaid pay such Certificates at the
prepayment price thereof,and such moneys shall be pledged to such payment.
All Certificates prepaid pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall be canceled by
the Trustee and shall not be redelivered.
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE CERTIFICATES
Installment Payments
Pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement,the Project will be acquired by the District from
the Corporation.The District has covenanted to,subject to any rights of prepayment under the Installment
Purchase Agreement, pay to the Corporation, solely from Net Revenues and from no other sources, the
Purchase Price in Installment Payments, with interest thereon, as provided in the Installment Purchase
Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District has established and declared the conditions
and terns upon which obligations such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, and the Installment
Payments and the interest thereon payable under the Installment Purchase Agreement, will be incurred
and secured The obligation of the District to make the Installment Payments, and payments of interest
thereon, and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement, solely
from Net Revenues, is absolute and unconditional, and until such time as the Installment Payments,
payments of interest thereon, and such other payments shall have been paid in full (or provision for the
payment thereof shall have been made pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement), the District has
covenanted that it will not discontinue or suspend any Installment Payments when due,whether or not the
Project or any par thereof is operating or operable or has been completed, or its use is suspended,
interfered with, reduced or curtailed or terminated in whole or in pan, and such Installment Payments,
payments of interest thereon, and other payments shall not be subject to reduction whether offset or
otherwise and shall not be conditional upon the performance or nonperformance by any party of any
agreement or any cause whatsoever. The District's obligation to make Installment Payments from Net
Revenues is on a parity with the District's obligation to make payments with respect to its Outstanding
Senior Obligations. See " Net Revenues"below. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement,the Corporation has
assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates substantially all of its rights,title
and interest in the Installment Purchase Agreement, including its right to receive Installment Payments
and the interest thereon.
Currently,the District has Senior Obligations Outstanding evidenced by five series of certificates
of participation and two related interest rate swap agreements, payable on a parity with the Installment
Payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement The two swap agreements were executed by the
oxswm:zeorarara.a
41758-11 rmcwmxtt 8
predecessor special districts in connection with the execution and delivery of certain Outstanding Senior
Certificates. The payments under these swap agreements are payable on a parity with the Installment
Payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement and other Senior Obligations, as provided in the
Master Agreement. See"FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS—Existing Indebtedness"herein and APPENDIX
C—"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Master Agreement"attached hereto.
The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payments, and the interest thereon,and other
payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement and Master Agreement, is
a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase
Agreement, solely from Net Revenues and other funds provided for in the Installment Purchase
Agreement,and does not constitute a debt of the District,the State or of any political subdivision thereof,
in contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. Neither the faith and
credit nor the taxing power of the District,the State or any political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the
payment of the Installment Payments, or the interest thereon, or other payments required to be made
under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior
Obligation and, as such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the
advantages, benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master
Agreement. See"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE CERTIFICATES"herein.
Net Revenues
The District is obligated to make Installment Payments solely from Net Revenues as provided in
the Master Agreement, which consist of Revenues remaining after payment of costs paid by the District
for maintaining and operating the Wastewater System ("Maintenance and Operation Costs"). Revenues
are defined in the Master Agreement to mean, for any period, all income and revenue received by the
District during such period from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System, determined in
accordance with generull% accepted accounting principles, including all fees and charges received during
such period for the senices of the Wastewater System, investment income received during such period
(but only to the extent that such investment income is generally available to pay costs with respect to the
Wastewater System. including Maintenance and Operation Costs), Net Proceeds of business interruption
insurance received during such period,ad valorem taxes received during such period,payments under the
Agreement Acquiring Ownership Interests, Assigning Rights and Establishing Obligations, entered into
on February 13, 1986. and amendment No. I thereto dated December 10, 1986, by and between
predecessor County Sanitation District No. 14 of Orange County and the Wine Ranch Water District(the
"IRWD Agreement") muckmi during such period and all other money received during such period
howsoever derived 61 the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System or arising
from the Wastewater System (including any standby or availability charges), but excluding (a) Capital
Facilities Capacity Charges.(b)payments received under Financial Contracts,and(c)refundable deposits
made to establish credit and advances or contributions in aid of construction (which, for purposes of the
Master Agreement. shall not include payments under the IRWD Agreement);provided, however, that (i)
Revenues shall be increased by the amounts, if any, transferred during such period from the Rate
Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account and shall be decreased by the amounts, if any,transferred
during such period from the Revenue Account to the Rate Stabilization Account,and (ii) Revenues shall
include Capital Facilities Capacity Charges collected during such period to the extent that such Capital
Facilities Capacity Charges could be properly expended on a Capital Facilities Capacity Charge Eligible
Project for which the proceeds of Subject Obligations were used or are available to be used. See
"DISTRICT REVENUES—Additional Revenues"herein.
The District's obligation to make the Installment Payments from its Net Revenues is on a parity
with the District's obligation to make payments with respect to its other outstanding obligations described
as Senior Obligations and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations,as provided
in the Master Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as
OHS WW26018/418.4
41758-1 1 A9CWMKH 9
such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits,
interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. Pursuant to the
Master Agreement, the District pledges all Net Revenues to the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations,and the Net Revenues will not be used for
any other purpose while any of the Senior Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Senior Obligations remain unpaid; provided, however, that out of the Net Revenues there may be
apportioned such sums for such purposes as are expressly permitted by the Master Agreement. This
pledge constitutes a first lien on the Net Revenues for the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. The term Senior Obligations, generally
means all revenue bonds or notes(including bond anticipation notes and commercial paper)of the District
authorized,executed,issued and delivered under and pursuant to applicable law, the Installment Purchase
Agreement and all other contracts(including financial contracts) or leases of the District authorized and
executed by the District under and pursuant to applicable law, the installment, lease or other payments
under which are,in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement,payable from Net Revenues
on a parity with the payments under the Master Agreement.
The District may at any time incur Subordinate Obligations payable on a subordinate basis to the
Installment Payments executed and delivered as provided in the Master Agreement; provided however,
that prior to incurring such Subordinate Obligations,the District will have determined that the incurrence
thereof will not materially adversely affect the District's ability to comply with the requirements of the
Master Agreement. The District may at any time incur Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Subordinate Obligations. For a description of the District's Outstanding Senior Obligations and
Subordinate Obligations, see"FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS—Existing Indebtedness"herein. There are
currently no Subordinate Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate
Obligations outstanding.
The District may, in connection with the incurrence of Subordinate Obligations, pledge Net
Revenues to the payment of Subordinate Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that such pledge, and any lien created thereby, shall be
junior and subordinate to the pledge of, and lien on,Net Revenues for the payment of Senior Obligations
and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations.
Rate Stabilization Account
In order to avoid fluctuations in its fees and charges of the Wastewater System,from time to time
the District may deposit in the Rate Stabilization Account from Net Revenues such amounts as the
District deems necessary or appropriate. From time to time, the District may also transfer moneys from
the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account to be used by the District, first to pay all
Maintenance and Operations Costs as and when the same shall be due and payable. In addition,any such
amount transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account by the District is
included as Revenues for any period, but such transferred amount is excluded from determining
Operating Revenues for any period. Revenues will be decreased by the amounts, if any,transferred from
the Revenue Account to the Rate Stabilization Account. There are presently no Ponds in the Rate
Stabilization Account.
Allocation of Revenues
In order to carry out and effectuate the pledge of Net Revenues under the Master Agreement as
described above, the District agrees and covenants that all Operating Revenues received by the District
will be deposited when and as received in the Revenue Account. Additionally, amounts may, from time
to time as the District deems necessary or appropriate,be transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account
and deposited in the Revenue Account, as described above under "— Rate Stabilization Account." The
OW WW26 01 8 4 41 8.4
4175&11 MIOVMxH 10
District will pay from the Revenue Account all Maintenance and Operations Costs (including amounts
reasonably required to be set aside in contingency reserves for Maintenance and Operations Costs, the
payment of which is not immediately required)as and when the same shall be due and payable.
After having paid, or having made provisions for the payment of, Maintenance and Operations
Costs, the District shall set aside and deposit or transfer, as the case may be, from the Revenue Account
such amounts at such times as provided in the Master Agreement in the following order of priority:
(1) Senior Obligation Payment Acoount;
(2) Senior Obligation Reserve Funds;
(3) Subordinate Obligation Payment Account;
(4) Subordinate Obligation Reserve Funds;and
(5) Rate Stabilization Account.
Amounts required or permitted to be deposited or transferred as described in items 2, 3, 4 and 5
above, shall not be so deposited or transferred unless the District shall have determined that there will be
sufficient Net Revenues available to make the required deposits or transfers on the dates on which such
deposits or transfers are required to be made as described above. So long as the District has determined
that Net Revenues will be sufficient to make all of the deposits or transfers required to be made pursuant
to items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 above, on the dates on which such deposits or transfers are required to be made,
Net Revenues on deposit in the Revenue Account may from time to time be used for any purpose for
which the District funds may be legally applied For additional information, see APPENDIX C —
"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Master Agreement."
Rate Covenant
Pursuant to the Master Agreement,the District will,to the extent permitted by law, fix,prescribe
and collect fees and charges for the services of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to
yield during each Fiscal Year(a)Net Revenues equal to 125%of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for
such Fiscal Year and (b)Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for
such Fiscal Year.The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may
make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the fees and charges than in
effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be
sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement.
In addition, the District has covenanted in the Master Agreement to prepare and adopt an annual
budget for the Wastewater System for each Fiscal Year. Such budget will set forth in reasonable detail
the Revenues anticipated to be derived in such Fiscal Year and the expenditures anticipated to be paid or
provided for therefrom in such Fiscal Year, including,without limitation,the amounts required to pay or
provide for the payment of the Obligations during such Fiscal Year, the amounts required to pay or
provide for the payment of Maintenance and Operations Costs during such Fiscal Year and the amounts
required to pay or provide for the payment of all other claims or obligations required to be paid from
Revenues in such Fiscal Year,and will show that Revenues and Net Revenues will be at least sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Master Agreement. On or before September 1 of each Fiscal Year, the
District will file with the Trustee a copy of the adopted budget for such Fiscal Year. See APPENDIX C—
"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Master Agreement"for additional information.

Reserve Fund
The Trust Agreement provides for the funding of the Reserve Fund in an amount equal to the
"Reserve Requirement,"which is defined as an amount,as of any date of calculation,equal to the least of
(a) * (b) 10% of the original aggregate amount of principal evidenced by the Certificates, (c)
the maximum amount of remaining Installment Payments,and the interest thereon,coming due in any one
Certificate Year,and(d) 125%of the average amount of remaining Installment Payments,and the interest
thereon,coming due in each Certificate Year. Amounts in the Reserve Fund may be used to pay principal
and interest evidenced by the Certificates to the extent that amounts in the Principal Account and Interest
Account are insufficient therefor. The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Reserve Fund until all
required Installment Payments, and the interest thereon, are paid in full pursuant to the Installment
Purchase Agreement and until the first date upon which no Certificates are Outstanding. The Reserve
Fund will be funded with a portion of the net proceeds of the Certificate in the amount of$
which amount is sufficient to satisfy the Reserve Requirement. See "SOURCES AND USES OF
PROCEEDS OF THE CERTIFICATES."
The District may substitute a Reserve Facility for all or a part of the moneys on deposit in the
Reserve Fund by depositing such Reserve Facility with the Trustee so long as, at the time of such
substitution, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund together with the amount available under such
Reserve Facility and any previously substituted Reserve Facilities, shall be at least equal to the Reserve
Requirement. Moneys for which a Reserve Facility has been substituted as provided in the Trust
Agreement shall be transferred, at the election of the District,to the Installment Payment Fund or upon
receipt of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer, in and of itself,will not adversely affect
the exclusion of interest evidenced by the Certificates from gross income for federal income tax purposes,
to a special account to be held by the Trustee and applied to the payment of capital costs of the District,as
directed in a Written Request of the District. Any amounts paid pursuant to any Reserve Facility shall be
deposited in the Reserve Fund.
If a Reserve Facility is credited to the Reserve Fund to satisfy a portion of the Reserve
Requirement,the Trustee shall make a claim for payment under such Reserve Facility, in accordance with
the provisions thereof, in an amount which, together with other available moneys in the Reserve Fund
will be sufficient to make said deposit in the Interest Account or Principal Account.
The moneys in the Reserve Fund, and any Reserve Facility, shall be held in trust by the Trustee
for the benefit of the Owners and shall be used and disbursed only for the purposes and uses authorized in
the Trust Agreement. Moneys, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be withdrawn and applied by
the Trustee for the final payment of principal and interest evidenced by the Certificates.
Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund which were not derived from payments under any
Reserve Facility credited to the Reserve Fund to satisfy a portion of the Reserve Requirement shall be
used and withdrawn by the Trustee prior to using and withdrawing any amounts derived from payments
under any such Reserve Facility. In order to accomplish such use and withdrawal of such amounts not
derived from payments under any such Reserve Facility,the Trustee shall, as and to the extent necessary,
liquidate any investments purchased with such amounts. If and to the extent that more than one Reserve
Facility is credited to the Reserve Fund to satisfy a portion of the Reserve Requirement, drawings
thereunder,and repayment of expenses with respect thereto, shall be made on a pro-rate basis(calculated
by reference to the policy limits available thereunder).
The Trustee shall, from amounts received from the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase
Agreement,deposit in the Reserve Fund an amount of money which,together with the amount already on
• Preliminary,subject to change.
OHS wm:xsotse<u.a
ansa-u nacxmaOr 12
deposit therein and the amounts available under all Reserve Facilities, will be equal to the Reserve
Requirement. No deposit need be made in the Reserve Fund so long as there shall be on deposit therein a
sum equal to the amount which, together with the amounts available under all Reserve Facilities, is at
least the Reserve Requirement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the District in writing if the amount on
deposit is less than the Reserve Requirement.
If, as a result of the scheduled payment of principal or interest evidenced by the Certificates, the
Reserve Requirement is reduced, the Trustee shall transfer an amount equal to the amount of such
reduction to the Installment Payment Fund. See APPENDIX C—"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL
DOCUMENTS—Trust Agreement."

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED TUNE 30.
20W herein.
THE DISTRICT
Background
The (range County, Sanitation District is a public agency responsible for regional wastewater
collection, treatment and disposal. The District is the sixth largest wastewater discharger in the United
States. The District provides service to an area with a population of approximately 2.5 million people in
OHS West260184418.4
41758-11 Mlavnaa7 16
the northern and central portion of the County by treating 235 mg/d of wastewater in Fiscal Year 2005-06.
The District serves approximately 81% of the County population in approximately 479 square miles, or
59%of the County.
The service area which comprises the District was originally formed in 1954 pursuant to the
County Sanitation District Act, as amended, Section 4700 at seq. of the Health and Safety Code of the
State.The District's service area originally consisted of seven independent special districts in the County
which were each responsible for matters relating to their individual districts. These special districts were
jointly responsible for the treatment and disposal facilities which they each used. The seven independent
districts were successors to the Joint Outfall Sewer Organization, which was formed in 1923 among the
Cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fullerton, and Orange, and the sanitary districts of Placentia, Buena Park,
La Habra, and Garden Grove. The Joint Outfall Sewer Organization constructed a treatment plant and
outfall in the early 1920's to serve its members. It was reorganized in 1947 and 1948 into seven county
sanitation districts - Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11. These prior districts were formed based on
engineers' analyses of the gravity Bows in the service area. District No. 13 was formed in 1985 and
District No. 14 was added in 1986. These districts were co-participants in a Joint Agreement which
provided for the joint construction,ownership,and operation of the prior districts'joint facilities.
In April 1998, at the request of the District's Board of Directors (the "Board'), the Board of
Supervisors of Orange County (the "County Board") passed Resolution No. 98-140 approving the
consolidation of the than existing nine special districts into a new, single sanitation district, to be known
m the Orange County Sanitation District. This action was designed to simplify govemance structures,
reduce the size of the Board, ease administrative processes, streamline decision-making and consolidate
accounting and auditing processes.The consolidation was effective on July I, 1998.
Pursuant to the Resolution and Government Code Section 57500, the prior districts transferred
and assigned all of their powers, rights, duties, obligations, functions and properties to the District, and
the District assumed all obligations of the prior districts which were several and not joint including,
without limitation, their obligations to repay the then outstanding certificates of participation. See
"FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS—Existing Indebtedness"herein. The boundaries of the nine predecessor
special districts were initially used by the District to delineate separate revenue areas (the "Revenue
Areas") for budgeting and accounting purposes and in order to facilitate the imposition of fees and
charges imposed by the District. See"DISTRICT REVENUES—Sewer Service Charges"herein.
The District is managed by an administrative organization composed of a Board of Directors
appointed by twenty-five member cities and agencies which are serviced by the District. The District is
responsible for construction and maintenance of a major portion of the wastewater collection, treatment
and disposal facilities within its boundaries. Revenue Area No. 7 is responsible for approximately 152
miles of local sewers in its service area, whereas local sanitary districts, water districts and cities are
responsible for local sewers in the remainder of the District's service area.
Organization and Administration
The District is independent of and overlaps other formal political jurisdictions. There are many
governmental entities, including the County,that operate within the District's jurisdiction. These entities
are exclusively responsible for the administration of their own fiscal affairs,and the District is not entitled
to operating surpluses of,or responsible for operating deficits of,any of the other entities.
The twenty-five member Board of Directors is comprised of representatives from twenty-one
cities,unincorporated areas of the County and three special districts,including mayors of cities,members
of city councils, directors of independent special districts and one member from the County Board.
OHS wnr:26orsaas4
41759-11 ntxt44KH 17
Several board committees, made up of members of the Board of Directors, consider topics for action by
the Board and make recommendations to the Board. The Chair and the Vice Chair of the Board are
elected every year by a majority of the Board,and serve at the pleasure of the majority of the Board.

For a description of the Orange County Employee's Retirement System, in which the District
participates, and the District's deferred compensation plan, see "Retirement Plan" below and Note 7 to
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year
Ended June 30, 2006, set forth in Appendix A. The District has no significant or unusual liabilities and
costs associated with other employee benefits, such as vacation, sick leave and other post-employment
benefit liabilities.
Retirement Plan
The District participates in the Orange County Employee's Retirement System(OCERS),a cost-
sharing multiple-employer, defined benefit pension plan which is governed and administered by a nine
member Board of Retirement OCERS was established in 1945 under the provisions of the County
Employees Retirement Law of 1937, and provides members with retirement, death, disability, and cost-
of-living benefits.
All District full-time employees participate in OCERS. Employees who retire at or after age 50
with ten or more years of service are entitled to an annual retirement allowance. The amount of the
retirement allowance is based upon the member's age at retirement, the member's"final compensation"
as defined in Section 31462 of the Retirement Law of 1937,the total years of service under OCERS,and
the employee's classification as a Tier I or Tier It member. As of July 1, 2006,the formula to calculate
retirement benefits was enhanced to 2.5%at age 55,or employees retiring at age 55 or older receive 2.5%
of their average salary for every year of service. Average salary is the highest consecutive 12 months of
compensation for Tier I employees and the highest consecutive 36 months of compensation divided by
three for Tier 11 employees. Benefits fully vest on reaching five years of service. OCERS also provides
death and disability benefits.
As a condition of participation under the provisions of the County Employees Retirement Law of
1937, members are required to contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to OCERS. The
District is required to make periodic contributions to OCERS in amounts that am estimated to remain a
constant percentage of covered employees' compensation such that, when combined with covered
employees'contributions,will fully provide for all covered employees' benefits by the time they retire.
A current comparison of OCERS costs for Fiscal Years 2001-02 through 2005-06 and projected
costs through Fiscal Year 2007-08 is shown below.

Post-Employment Benefits
On June 21,2004.the Governmental Accounting Standards Board("GASB")approved Statement
No. 45 (GASB 45). accounting standards for other(than pensions) postemployment benefits ("OPEB").
GASB 45 effective dates are phased in, similar to GASB's Statement No. 34 which was implemented in
recent years. The first effective Fiscal Year for the District is Fiscal Year 2007-08. Preliminary
indications are that the District's potential OPEB liability will not have a material impact on the District's
operational results.
Risk Management
As of the date hereof. the District has in force basic all risk property and casualty insurance,
including theft, fire, hoed. terrorism and boiler and machinery losses to the Wastewater System. The
District is self-insured for portions of workers' compensation,property damage and general liability. The
self-insurance portion of workers' compensation is $500,000 par person per occurrence with outside
excess insurance coverage to$50 million. The self-insured portion for property damage covering fire and
other disasters is$25.000 per occurrence with outside excess insurance coverage to $1 billion. The self.
insured portion for property damage covering flood is $100,000 per occurrence with outside excess
insurance coverage to S300 million. The District is self-insured for all property damage from the perils of
earthquakes. See -DISTRICT REVENUES - Reserves." The District also maintains outside
comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, including business interruption insurance, with a $100
million per occurrence combined limit with deductibles ranging from $25,000 to $350,000. The District
is substantially self-insured for general liability coverage with a$250,000 self-insured deductible,but has
excess general liability covcmge to$25 million per occurrence.
During the post three fiscal years there have been no settlements in excess of covered amounts.
Claims against the District are processed by outside insurance administrators. The District believes that
there are no unrecorded claims as of June 30, 2006 that would materially affect the financial position of
The District.
For more information regarding the District's insurance coverage as of June 30,2006, see Note 1
to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year
Ended June 30,2006 set forth in Appendix A.
Existing Facilities
The District's Wastewater System presently consists of two wastewater treatment plants, an
influent metering and diversion structure, 16 pump stations,various interplant pipelines and connections,
OHS Wra2601914114
41759-11 xoatnncx 22
and the ocean outfall facilities. The District's Wastewater System includes approximately 584 miles of
sewers within 12 trunk sewer systems, 152 miles of local sewers located within Revenue Area No. 7,two
treatment plants, two discharge outfalls and two emergency weir outlets. The existing treatment plants
have a rated primary treatment capacity of 366 million gallons per day, including standby capacity.
Treatment Plant No. 1 ("Plant No. 1")is located in the City of Fountain Valley,about four miles
from the coast, adjacent to the Santa Ana River. Secondary treatment capabilities are provided by a
trickling filter plant and a conventional air activated sludge plant. Up to 15 million gallons per day
("mg/d") of secondary treated effluent is conveyed to an Orange County Water District (the "OCWD")
plant for tertiary treatment prior to ground water recharge.
Treatment Plant No. 2("Plant No. 2")is located in the City of Huntington Beach, 1,500 feet from
the ocean,at the mouth of the Santa Ana River. Secondary treatment capabilities are provided by a pure
oxygen activated sludge plant.
The District employs several phases in the treatment of wastewater. The first phase,preliminary
treatment,removes debris such as eggshells,sand and biodegradable items. See,also"Preferred Level of
Treatment" and "Biosolids Management" below. In the next phase, primary treatment, wastewater is
pumped to large settling basins. The liquids are separated from the remaining solids which settle or float
as the wastewater passes through large settling basins called clarifiers. The settled solids are sent to solids
treatment facilities. Approximately half of the primary treated wastewater flows into the ocean outfall
pumping station where it is blended with secondary treated wastewater before being discharged into the
ocean. The other half is sent to secondary treatment for further processing. During secondary treatment,
the wastewater is placed in aeration basins to which naturally occurring bacteria are added to remove
most of the remaining dissolved and suspended microscopic organic solids. The treated wastewater from
both plants is mixed together at Plant No. 2, where it is then pumped through the ocean outfall pipe that
extends five miles offshore.
Table 4 below sets forth the treatment plants' approximate current and future treatment capacities.

(1) The District's "Planned Total Capacity" is based on the Strategic Plan for planned capacity by 2020, which
estimated the District's requirements to meet fume expected primary and secondary capacity demands.
The District has the capability to divert a portion of the influent flow from Plant No. 1 to Plant
No.2 through interplant connections. A portion of the flow destined for Plant No.2 can also be diverted
to Plant No. I. The treated wastewater from Plant No. 1 flows by gravity to the outfall system through
interconnecting lines. The combined Plant No. I and Plant No.2 effluent is then pumped through a 120-
inch diameter oceatt outfall which is approximately five miles long. The last mile of the outfall pipe is a
oxs wa2601s441s4
4175e-11 MVIAM 23
diffuser that dilutes the wastewater with seawater in a ratio of 148 parts seawater to one part treated
wastewater at an average depth of 185 feet. The 120-inch outfall has a capacity of 480 million gallons per
day at high tide. A smaller 78-inch diameter outfall that terminates at a shallower depth is still
maintained, although it is reserved for use in emergencies. This smaller outfall is estimated to have a
capacity of approximately 230 million gallons a day. There is an interplant gas pipeline between Plant
No. l and Plant No.2 which allows digester gas(which is used m fuel for many of the facilities' engines)
from one plant to be used at the other to balance the supply and demand, which results in efficient gas
utilization.
Permits,Licenses and Other Regulations
The Wastewater System is subject to regulations imposed by the 1972 Clean Water Act, Public
Law 92-500 (the "Clean Water Act"), the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended
("CEQA") and the Federal Clean Air Act. The regulatory requirements are administered by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (the"EPA")and the California Regime] Water Quality Control
Board("RWQCB"). Regulations of these agencies deal primarily with the quality of effluent which may
be discharged from the treatment plants and the nature of waste material discharged into the collection
system. The Clean Water Act directs the EPA to monitor and to regulate the discharge of pollution into
navigable waterways and to enforce the requirements that all wastewater treatment plants in the nation
provide full secondary treatment for sewage. In 1977, Congress amended the Clean Water Act to allow
waivers of secondary treatment standards for certain ocean dischargers if they can demonstrate, to the
satisfaction of the EPA, that significant adverse environmental impacts would not occur. The District
currently has all applicable permits and licenses necessary to operate its facilities.
The District has discharged treated wastewater into the Pacific Ocean under a permit issued by
the EPA and the RWQCB. The discharge permit included a waiver under the 301(h) provisions of the
Clean Water Act, allowing for less than full secondary treatment based on an ocean discharge of
sufficient depth,distance and dilution. The permit was initially issued in 1985 and was the first modified
Section 301(h) permit issued to a major wastewater treatment facility. The District's permit, which
included the Section 301(h) waiver of secondary treatment requirements, was issued on May 6, 1998,
expired on June 8,2003.
In July 2002, the Board of Directors approved a change from the existing level of treatment, a
blend of 50 percent advanced primary and 50 percent secondary treated wastewater, to full secondary
treatment standards. See "Preferred Level of Treatment" and "Urban Runoff' below. As a result, the
District established a policy to treat all wastewater discharges into the ocean to secondary treatment
standards. See "Preferred Level of Treatment" below. To implement this policy, District staff was
directed to immediately proceed with the planning,design,and implementation of treatment methods with
the expressed purposes of eliminating the need for the permit wavier received under Section 301(h).
Following determination by the Board of Directors in July 2002 to implement full secondary
standards, staff prepared the Secondary Treatment National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
("NPDES") Permit Application that was required to be submitted to the regional office of the EPA and
the RWQCB in December 2002. The NPDES Permit is separate and apart from the permit waiver
received under Section 301(h), and once awarded would negate any necessary waiver. Achieving
secondary treatment standards will take approximately 6 years to complete, with completion expected in
December 2012. But ocean discharge permits are issued for five(5)years, and the EPA has no authority
to waive the discharge limits requirements or grant a longer permit (except per Sec. 301(h)). The
alternative was to voluntarily seek a consent decree concurrently with the issuance of the new ocean
discharge permit. This negotiated consent decree (the "Consent Decree") approves the schedule and
decrees that no penalties will be imposed for discharges that exceed the secondary treatment limits during
oxs wrse26018441s4

the period of construction. The Consent Decree was signed by the District, EPA, and the RWQCB and
filed with the U.S.District Court en November 15,2004.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District ("AQMD") is the regional governmental
agency charged with implementing the Federal Clean Air Act. AQMD permits are required before a
sewage treatment improvement project can be constructed Such permits are project specific and contain
construction process requirements, required equipment and standards for predicted air quality. After
construction is completed,the AQMD issues an operation permit. These permits are also project specific
and contain air quality standards and other appropriate operational guidelines. Most of the District's
facilities are enclosed in order to trap emissions,which are cleaned by air scrubbers that remove odors. In
addition,the District has implemented an air quality risk reduction program which includes a twenty-year
plan to improve treatment plant operations and reduce industrial toxic pollutants. The District currently
has all necessary AQMD permits to operate the Wastewater System.
Capital Improvement Program
The Matter Plan. The District's 1989 master plan consisted of a 30-yew plan of action for
managing wastewater activities to the year 2020, entitled "2020 Vision, Action Plan for Wastewater
Management and Environmental Protection 1990-2020"(the"Master Plan"). The Master Plan integrated
research facilities planning. environmental analysis, toxic control, water conservation and reclamation,
sludge reuse, other wastewmer programs and financial planning into a single unified approach. In
connection with the preparation of the Master Plan,an in-depth land use study was performed,resulting in
the creation of a uniform land use classification system and a map of the District's service area. Land use
designations and unit floe factors were used to project wastewater flows in the District's trunk sewers for
then present conditions. through the year 2020. These flows were included in a computer model of the
District's Wastewater System which identified future sewer capacity improvements.A thirty-year capital
improvement program was developed to implement the required sewer capacity improvements. This land
use study included the collection and compilation of the latest available land use plans,reports,maps and
studies from the cities within the District and the County, and interviews with the planning directors or
key staff within the District. Land use planning within the District's service area is the responsibility of
the County for unincorporated areas and cities for areas within their boundaries. The California Coastal
Commission has some land use authority within the District's coastal areas.
The Strategic Plea In October 1999, the District updated the Master Plan with a strategic plan
(the "Strategic Mae). The Strategic Plan updated the planning process set forth in the Master Plan
through the year 2020 and defined the District's goals, responsibilities, and requirements over the then
following twenty years. including projections through the assumed "build-out" of the District's service
area to the year 2050. In addition to updating the population and flow assumptions, the Strategic Plan
provided for an operations and financial plan, including a review of the collection,treatment and disposal
facilities, and the District's ocean omfalls. Studies on a preferred level of wastewater treatment and in-
sourcing of the ocean monitoring program were prepared and incorporated in the Strategic Plan. Water
and air regulatory agencies require that all wastewater facilities be designed to meet the needs of
anticipated growth and provide a reasonable reserve capacity. With the adoption of the Strategic Plan,the
District's planning process met these requirements by shifting its approach for the development of master
plans from a"size and build-approach to a broad-based,multi-agency cooperative evaluation process.
Many of the assumptions used to develop the Strategic Plan, such as inflation, the projected
service population, the level of building activity, and the volume of wastewater heated, were quite
different from what was assumed ten years earlier under the Master Plan. Critical factors such as
population growth, new construction, the volume of wastewater delivered to the plants and viable water
conservation and reclamation programs were reevaluated.
OHS Wen:2011*1ha.<
41758-11 nnavnacH 25
Interim Strategic Plan. In June 2002, a new, or Interim Strategic Plan Update (the `Interim
Strategic Plan" herein) was completed to further update and revise many of the assumptions used to
develop the District's previous planning documents, including population and land-use projections, the
level of building activity in the District's service area and the volume of wastewater to be treated. The
Interim Strategic Plan also provides for an operations and financial plan including a review of the
District's collection, treatment and disposal facilities, and a study of the District's ocean omfall system.
In addition, potential changes in the regulatory climate for the beneficial rouse of biosolids were also
considered.
On July 17, 2002, the Board of Directors approved Resolution No. OCSD-14, "Establishing the
Policy for Level of Treatment of Wastewater Discharged into the Ocean". This resolution established the
District's policy to treat all wastewater discharges into the ocean to secondary treatment standards thereby
providing for continued public safety, marine ecosystem protection, and water reclamation opportunities.
To implement this policy, the District staff was directed to immediately proceed with the planning,
design, and implementation of treatment methods that will allow the agency to meet Clean Water Act
secondary treatment standards. The District currently estimates that it will take 6 years (through
December 2012) and additional capital improvement costs of$538 million to reach secondary treatment
discharge standards. In the interim,the District will operate the plants to maximize available secondary
treatment and to reduce effluent biochemical oxygen demand and suspended Solid discharges below
currently allowed limits. The current 50 percent secondary portion will increase incrementally as
operations change and new facilities are constructed and placed in Service. See "Preferred Level of
Treatment"below.
The District's planning process for development of the Interim Strategic Plan incorporated an
analysis of population growth,dry weather and peak wet weather flows and the maximum use of existing
facilities. The population of the District's Service area was projected to grow to 2.7 million by the year
2020. Average flow rates at both treatment plants were projected to increase to 278 million gallons a day
by 2020(134 million gallons a day of treatment at Plant No. I and 144 million gallons a day at Plant No.
2),up 15%from the Fiscal Yew 2005-06 flow.
In combination with the Interim Strategic Plan, the District developed its current Capital
Improvement Program("CIP"). The District expects to meet future demands on the Wastewater System
through the CIP. This program has been developed to satisfy anticipated regulatory requirements,
increased population, additional treatment requirements, conservation,energy and other resource savings
considerations,odor control improvements,and air quality protection needs. Through 2020,the District's
CIP is scheduled to accomplish:
• Major rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary treatment, secondary treatment,
outfall pumping,and solids handling facilities at both treatment plants.
• Replace and rehabilitate 16 of the District's outlying pumping stations, and 44 trunk
sewer improvement projects.
• Fund cooperative projects to help cities upgrade their sewer systems.
• Disinfect the District's ocesn discharge to reduce bacterial levels below State bathing
standards.
• Reclaim 70 millions of gallons per day of the District's effluent,or nearly one-third of the
total daily flow(Groundwater Replenishment System).
OHS Wgc2601844184
41758-11 MKH/MKH 26
• Achieve full secondary treatment standards.
CIP Validation Study. In preparation of each year's Budget,the District conducts an Annual CIP
Validation Study to ensure that the scopes of the projects were necessary,and that the cost estimates were
accurate. As a result of the completion of the CIP Validation Study and the Secondary Treatment Peer
Review in March 2007, a revised CIP was further developed to meet secondary treatment standards as
quickly as possible while providing for increased flows and rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing
facilities. As identified within the Interim Strategic Plan, and verified through the CIP Validation Study
and Secondary Treatment Review, $538 million of additional capital improvements over the next 6 years
(through December 2012)are needed to reach full secondary standards.
The CIP Validation Study resulted in a revised CIP consisting of 107 large capital projects
managed by the Engineering Department through 2020-21 at a total cost of$2.3 billion, approximately
$750 million of which has been spent to date. The bulk of construction is scheduled during the next ten
years, with average annual expenditures of nearly $300 million projected over the next five years.
Implementation of full secondary treatment standards is Scheduled to be completed on or before
December 31, 2012. A summary of total estimated capital costs for the CIP for Fiscal Years 2007-08
through 2020.21 is set forth in Table 5 below.

$39.3 million is being proposed for the Headworks replacement at Treatment Plant No. 2.
The largest project in the collection system,proposed in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 proposed CIP,is
$8.5 million for the Bushard Trunk Sewer project. For Fiscal Year 2009-09, the three largest projects
OHS West:260184418.4
41758-11 NW.WMKH 27
include$10.8 million for Gisler-Redhill North Trunk Improvements, $15.2 million for replacement of the
Bitter Point Pump Station,and$20.5 million for the Newport Trunk Sewer and Force Mains project. The
total budgets for these three projects are$16.1 million,$34.1 million,and$24.4 million,respectively.
In connection with the preparation of the update to the CIP cash flow budgets for Fiscal Years
2006-07 and 2007-08, the Board's Operations Committee is reviewing and validating staffs annual CiP
review. A new Strategic Plan Update is expected in 2008-09.
Groundwater Replenishment System
The District has taken a multi-jurisdictional approach to planning for capital facilities because
many of the methods for reducing or managing flows involve other jurisdictions. One such project is the
Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS). In March 2001, the District entered into an agreement
with the OCWD to design and construct Phase 1 of the GWRS. This cost of this project is to be paid
equally(50 percent shares) by each agency. The GWRS is a joint effort by the two agencies to provide
reclaimed water for replenishment of the Orange County Groundwater Basin and to augment the seawater
intrusion barrier. The GWRS is planned for three phases, Phase 1 will produce approximately 72,000
acre-feet per year of recycled water by June 2007,Phase 2 will increase the total capacity to 112,000 acre-
feet by the year 2010,and Phase 3 will increase the total capacity to 145,600 acre-feet by the year 2020.
Following the completion of Phase 1, the extent of the District's commitment to date, the GWRS will
have the capacity to divert up to 100 million gallons per day of flow from the District's ocean discharge.
Costs for Phases 2 and 3 have yet to be approved and programmed.
As of June 30, 2006, the total estimated cost of GWRS Phase 1 was $497.10 million. Of this
amount, up to$92.50 million may be reimbursed through grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the State Water Resources Control Board, and others. The
District's estimated gross and net share is $248.55 million and $202.30 million, respectively. Costs
incurred by the District through June 30, 2006 total $150.89 million. As noted above, Phase 1 of the
GWRS is nearing completion and the GWRS will not have any funding in the Fiscal Year 200"
budget.
Preferred Level of Treatment
In July 2002, the Board of Directors approved a change from the existing level of treatment, a
blend of 50 percent advanced primary and 50 percent secondary treated wastewater, to full secondary
treatment standards. The reasoning behind the decision to move to full secondary standards included (1)
the possibility (no matter how remote) that bacteria from the ocean outfall may at times reach the
shoreline, (2) upgraded treatment will aid additional water reclamation with the Orange County Water
District,(3)and the public clearly stated preference for upgrading wastewater treatment at the time.
In an effort to eliminate most bacteria from being released from the ocean omfall, in 2002 the
District began to use chlorine bleach to disinfect the effluent and then apply sodium bisulfate to remove
any remaining chlorine prior to releasing the treated wastewater to the ocean. In order to protect the
animal life living in the ocean, the District continues to take measures to limit the chlorine residual to a
very low level-essentially non-detectable. This mode of disinfection is anticipated to occur for the short-
term, possibly two or three years, while the District studies, designs and constructs permanent facilities,
and considers alternate disinfection technologies. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2006-07, the addition of
disinfection treatment required an annual outlay of$7 million in additional chemicals within the joint
operating budget of the District.
OHS WM260184018.4
417584u mixxmacH 28
Following determination by the Board of Directors in July 2002 to implement full secondary
standards, staff prepared the Secondary Treatment NPDES Permit Application that was required to be
submitted to the regional office of Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the RWQCB in
December 2002. An NPDES permit has been issued to the District and the District is currently operating
under the Consent Decree. See"THE DISTRICT—Permits,Licenses and Other Regulations."
The District estimates that it will take approximately 6 years and require additional capital
improvement costs of approximately $538 million to add additional secondary treatment capacity to the
Wastewater System,with completion expected in December 2012. In addition, based upon the District's
most recent projections, upon completion of facilities necessary to meet secondary treatment standards,
operating costs will increase by approximately $7.2 million annually. In the interim, the District will
operate the plants to maximize available secondary treatment and to reduce effluent biochemical oxygen
demand and suspend solid discharges below those currently allowed limits. Each year, the current 50
percent secondary portion will increase incrementally as operations change and new facilities are
constructed and placed in service over the coming years.
Biosolids Management
The District produces approximately 650 tons of digested and dewatered(Class B)biosolids per
day. By 20209 the District's biosolids production is projected to increase by 200/a, to 285,000 tons
annually. The District relies on the following technologies and locations for the management of its
biosolids: land application of Class B biosolids in Arizona, land application of chemically-stabilized
Class A biosolids in Kem County, composting to Class A biosolids in Riverside County, Kern County
and La Paz County,Arizona,and landfilling of Class B biosolids in Yuma County,Arizona.
Counties throughout California and Arizona have developed,or are in the process of developing,
ordinances that severely restrict or ban the land application of Class B biosolids. In June 2006, Kent
County voters approved an anti-sludge initiative that bans the land application of both Class B and Class
A biosolids. It has become clear that certain land application options currently available to the District
are anticipated to be eliminated in the new future due to these developments. The District, as well as
most of California's wastewater agencies, is working to develop sustainable products and management
locations for its biosolids.
The dynamic regulatory issues, land application ordinances and bans, and public perception
challenges have prompted the District, with the help of CH2MHi11, to develop a Long-Range Biosolids
Management Plan (LRBMP). This LRBMP was approved by the Board in December 2003. The goal of
the LRBMP was to develop a sustainable, reliable, and economical program for long-range biosolids
management providing environmentally sound practices that meet the stringent federal, state, and local
regulatory requirements. The LRBMP recommendations included new in-plant technologies to reduce
the volume of biosolids,explore the production of Class A biosolids products, and move into the energy
and fuel production and compost markets.
As a result of the LR13MP recommendations,the existing Synagro biosolids management contract
was amended in April 2004 to have 250 tons per day of the District's Class B biosolids composted at
Synagro's South Kern Industrial Center (SKIC) facility, which is currently scheduled to open in
December 2007. In May 2006, the District entered into a contract with EnerTech Environmental, Inc.to
convert 225 tons of biosolids per day to a renewable fuel at EnerTech's proposed facility in Rialto,
California. The EnerTech solution is a relatively new, patented heat treatment process that increases the
ability to dewater biosolids in order to maximize the efficiency of the production of fuel. By decreasing
the moisture content of biosolids prior to drying, a smaller dryer is needed thus reducing capital and
energy consumption. The fuel product will be recycled and reused under agreements with area cement
OHS We t:26018441&4
41758-11 MKHa M 29
kilns and other fuel users. Residual ash from the fuel combustion becomes part of the cement product,
resulting in no residual waste product liability. The EnerTech facility is expected to come on-line in late
2008.
Also in April 2005, the Board approved the amendment of the existing memorandum of
understanding ("MOU") with South Orange County Wastewater Authority ("SOCWA") for preliminary
facility design, permitting, and community relations activities for the development of a composting
facility at the Prima Deshecha Landfill in South Orange County. For the past two years under the
previous existing MOU, SOCWA and the District have been working with the Orange County integrated
Waste Management Department's Biosolids Committee to site an enclosed biosolids and green waste
composting facility at the Prima Deshecha Landfill in South Orange County. The proposed "South
Orange County Composting Facility"would take in approximately 100 to 110 tons of Class B biosolids
daily from the District and SOCWA and,combined with like amounts of wood chips and yard trimmings,
produce approximately 65 to 75 tons of compost par day. The MOU reflects a 50-50 participation
commitment and ownership in the facility between SOCWA and the District, and consent to initiate and
fund the tasks for the initial planning,permitting and concept design of the project. This project is still in
the development process.
As a result of the transition to biosolids-based compost and energy products the coat to the
District for biosolids management is expected to increase by about $3 million per year starting in Fiscal
Year 2006-07. The Fiscal Year 2005-06 budget for biosolids management was$9.7 million. The Fiscal
Year 2006.07 budget for biosolids management is $12.8 million. The Fiscal Year 2007-08 biosolids
management budget is currently estimated to be$14.3 million.
Urban Runoff
For a two-month period during the summer of 1999, eight miles of beaches in Huntington Beach
were closed by the OCHCA due to excessive levels of bacteria in the water. A three-month interagency
source investigation did not identify a definitive source of the contamination, but determined that the
District was not at fault. Although the initial "signature" of the pollution strongly suggested sewage
contamination, the investigation concluded that none of the District's facilities caused the excessive
bacteria levels and that there was no adverse impact on the capacity of the Wastewater System.
In June 2002, the District's charter was amended by an act of the State Legislature to include
permissive language authorizing the diversion and management of dry weather urban runoff flows. This
charter change will allow the District, in its discretion, to acquire, construct, operate, maintain, and
famish facilities for the diversion of urban runoff from drainage courses within the District,the treatment
of the urban runoff,the return of the water to the drainage courses,or the beneficial use of the water.
As noted above, in July 2002, the Board of Directors approved the implementation of full
secondary standards. The District is currently discharging treated wastewater into the Pacific Ocean
under a permit issued by the EPA and the RWQCB on May 6, 1998 and currently under an administrative
grant of permission until the EPA/RWQCB issue a new permit to replace it. Following determination by
the Board of Directors in July 2002 to implement full secondary standards, staff prepared the Secondary
Treatment NPDES Permit Application that was required to be submitted to the regional office of the EPA
and the RWQCB. See"THE DISTRICT—Permits,Licenses and Other Regulations."
Integrated Emergency Response Program
Growing awareness of the threat to public utilities from natural disasters such as earthquakes,
floods and other perils has made preparedness for these and other events a high priority for the planners,
OHS West260184418.4
41758-11 AR(H/841 H 30
engineers, and managers of the District. In recognition of the potential damage which could occur in the
wake of a major earthquake, flood, or other disaster, the District has implemented an Integrated
Emergency Response Program (the "IERP") in 1979. The IERP is a two-volume plan which contains
policies,plans and procedures preparing for, and responding to,emergencies. The District also analyzed
disaster preparedness issues and policies within the Master Plan, and within a 1994 document titled Fault
Rupture Hazard Investigation-Wastewater Treatment Plant No.2.
According to the Master Plan, earthquakes are considered to be the most potentially devastating
natural disaster events which confront the District. The disaster preparedness plan included in the Master
Plan reviewed two possible major earthquake scenarios: an 8.3 Richter magnitude ("M") earthquake on
the southern San Andreas fault system and an M 7.0 earthquake 7.0 Newport-Inglewood fault zone,which
includes Plant No. 2. An M 8.3 earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault,while on the whole more
destructive than the M 7.0 Newport-Inglewood fault even, would probably result in less damage to the
District's service area due to the distance of the fault from most of the service area. However,the 1989
Master Plan stated that damage from such a major earthquake on the San Andreas fault would be
extensive. Also, the Master Plan indicated that an M 7.0 earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood fault
within five miles of the District's sewerage facilities could cause major destruction to those facilities.
The disaster preparedness plan in the Master Plan indicated that it would not be economically feasible to
upgrade all of the existing sanitary sewerage facilities to survive an earthquake of this magnitude along
the Newport-Inglewood fault. The IERP outlines the policies and employee actions to be taken before,
during and after an earthquake,earthquake response guidelines and damage assessment procedures.
The Master Plan analyzed the vulnerability of the sanitary sewerage facilities and operations of
the District and planned a risk reduction program wherein the vulnerability of many of the District's
sanitary sewerage facilities to an earthquake could be reduced by recommended retrofit construction
measures. The Master Plan also recommended that designs of existing major structures where were
constructed prior to development of current seismic design standards be reviewed and the structures
strengthened,if necessary.
Since the 1989 Master Plan and the 1994 Report, the District has completed retrofitting where
deemed appropriate. Pursuant to the Master Plan, all recent and future projects have been, and will be,
designed to the same high earthquake code standards as set for other essential services, such as hospitals
and fire stations. Many of the older buildings analyzed in the Master Plan have been replaced by
structures built after 1989.
The Army Corps of Engineers' "All-River Plan"has mitigated any future flooding of the Santa
Ana River system and potential threats to the District's Wastewater System. Also, both Plant No. I and
Plant No. 2 are surrounded by 3-foot to 6-foot high walls,built to federal standards.
The disaster preparedness plan in the Strategic Plan investigates the damage potential posed by
coastal flooding, tsunamis (large ocean waves generated by seismic activity) and windstorms. However,
based on available information,the District does not consider any of such events to be a significant threat
to the Wastewater System.
The Strategic Plan also makes recommendations regarding fire protection of the Wastewater
System and most of the structures at Plant No. I and Plant No.2 are constructed of fire-resistant
materials. The IERP describes the procedures needed to respond to a possible disaster. For more
information regarding emergency response policies, the disaster preparedness plan described in the
Strategic Plan and the IERP can be reviewed at the District's office.

DISTRICT REVENUES
Sewer Service Charges
General. The District has the power to establish fees and charges for services of the Wastewater
System. Such fees and charges are established by the District's board of directors and are not subject to
review or approval by any other agencies.
In Fiscal Year 1997-98, a Rate Advisory Committee (the "RAC")was established comprised of
representatives from industrial, commercial and residential users. The goal of the RAC was to examine
the then current rate structure and, if needed, develop recommendations for change. The RAC analyzed
the District's rate structure to determine whether its then current sewer service user fees (now known as
"Sewer Service Charges") were equitable among residences and industry. This review resulted in a
proposal to expand the number of non-residential user categories from one to twenty-three and to provide
for gradual rate increases in seven of the nine Revenue Areas. The increase in the number of categories
provided a more equitable fee structure and also provided for future reductions in single-family residential
Sewer Service Charges. The Sewer Service Charges for those categories were based on the average flow
and strength of wastewater discharged for each property type.
In May 2002,the Board adopted District Ordinance No.OCSD 18 (the"2002 Ordinance")which
was effective on July 1, 2002. The 2002 Ordinance included a rate increase of$7.50 per year, or 9.4%,
for all ratepayers to $87.50 per year. On July 2, 2003, the Board adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-20
increasing sanitary sewer service charges for all single family and multi-family residential units as well as
most commercial and industrial properties. The Ordinance was adopted by a 2/3 vote of the Board as
required under law after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with all laws. The Ordinance
increases the amount of the annual charges by approximately 15% per year for each of the following five
years, commencing with Fiscal Year 2003-04, thereby raising the single family residence user rate from
the then current $87.50 to $100.00,$115.00, $132.00, $152.00,and $175.00 annually. In May 2005,the
Board adopted Ordinance No.OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06 single family residential rate
31%, from $115.00 to $151.00 for such year. In May 2006, the Board adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-
30B increasing the Fiscal Year 2006-07 single family residential rate 9.8%, from $151.00 to$165.80 for
such year.
N April 2007, the Board began its considerations towards increasing sanitary sewer service
charges for all single family and multi-family residential units as well as most commercial and industrial
properties. As currently contemplated,this schedule would increase the amount of the annual charges by
approximately 11%per year for each of the following five years,commencing with Fiscal Year 2007-08,
increasing the Fiscal Year 2007-08 single family residential rate 9.8°/a increasing the Fiscal Year 2008-09
single family residential rate 12.9%, increasing the Fiscal Year 2010-11 single family residential rate
12.9%,increasing the Fiscal Year 2011-12 single family residential rate 12.9%,increasing the Fiscal Year
2012-13 single family residential rate 12.75%, increasing the Fiscal Year 2013-14 single family
residential rate 5.3%, increasing the Fiscal Year 2014-15 single family residential rate 5.3% and
increasing the Fiscal Year 2015-16 single family residential rate 5.3%. Such increases are subject to
approval by ordinance adopted by a 2/3 vote of the Board after conducting a noticed public hearing in
compliance with all laws. The resulting increased sewer rates for each fiscal year are well below the
average annual sewer rate of $337.00 per year currently being charged according to a survey of 904
agencies encompassing all 58 counties in the State conducted by the State Water Resources Control
Board.
This increase was necessary in order to meet the District's cash flow needs due to the addition of
disinfection treatment and other operating requirements. As discussed under the caption "THE
OHS w«r2a0ts44rs.4
41758-1 1 nncxrt uM 32
DISTRICT—Capital Improvement Program,"the CIP Validation Study in the Spring of 2005 and further
in March 2007 developed a capital improvement program to meet secondary treatment standards as
quickly as possible while providing for increased flows and rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing
facilities. As projected out to 2020, the CIP cash flow needs total approximately$2.3 billion, with the
bulk of the construction scheduled during the next ten years and average annual expenditures of nearly
$300 million projected over the next five years.
The District collects Sewer Service Charges from property owners through the semi-annual
property tax bill distributed by the County throughout the District except in Revenue Area No. 14.
Pursuant to the IRWD Agreement, the District receives payments from the Irvine Ranch Water District
(the "IRWD") which directly collects foes from customers through a monthly billing procedure in
Revenue Area No. 14.
The District has covenanted in the Master Agreement to fix, prescribe and collect fees and
charges to satisfy certain coverage requirements as further described under "SECURITY AND
SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE CERTIFICATES—Rate Caveman"herein.
Residential Sewer Service Charges. Pursuant to the 2002 Ordinance the District established
residential Sewer Service Charges upon a rational basis between the fees charged each customer and the
services and facilities provided to each customer of the District. In accordance with the 2002 Ordinance
and the noticed public hearing held at that time which considered increases in the amount of the annual
charges by approximately 20%per year for each of the their following five years,in May 2005,the Board
adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06 single family residential rate 31a/6,
from$115.00 to$151.00 for such year for all ratepayers,except those located in Revenue Area 14. such
year. In May 2006, the Board adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-30B increasing the Fiscal Year 2006-07
single family residential rate 9.80%, from $151.00 to $165.80 for such year, except those located in
Revenue Area 14. The average total of fees and charges for Revenue Area No. 14 are$70.80 per year per
single-family residential unit and are levied and collected directly by the IRWD on a monthly basis. The
IRWD subsequently pays fees to the District on a quarterly basis pursuant to the IRWD Agreement. This
increase was necessary in order to meet the District's cash flow needs. Table 6 below sets forth a five-
year comparison of the Sewer Service Charge rate for single-family residences.

Industrial Sewer Service Charges. The District charges industrial Sewer Service Charges to
customers discharging high-strength or high-volume wastes into the sewer systems.Customers subject to
industrial Sewer Service Charges are billed directly by the District. The fee charged to each customer is
based on the customer's sewage volume, the concentration of suspended solids and biochemical oxygen
demand. Ptnslmnt to the 2002 Ordinance, rates for each component factor were revised for certain
industrial users in order to be consistent with the rates charged to residential users. Total industrial Sewer
Service Charges in Fiscal Year 2005-06 were approximately $11.0 million. Industrial Sewer Service
Charges are applied to both the operating and capital funds.
Additional Revenues
The District has several sources of additional revenue, including property taxes,Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges,capacity rights,permit and inspection fees and interest earnings.
Property Taxes. The District receives approximately 2.5%of the one percent County ad valorem
property tax levy, based on the allocation procedure under State law. Property tax revenues were $38.4
million in Fiscal Year 2000-01, $41.1 million in Fiscal Year 2001-02, $44.6 million in Fiscal Year 2002-
03, S46.9 million in Fiscal Year 2003-04, $35.8 million in Fiscal Year 2004-05 and $40.0 million in
Fiscal Year 2005-06. The$11.2 million decrease in property tax revenues from Fiscal Year 2003-04 to
Fiscal Year 2004-05 is reflective of the State of California's then current fiscal crisis and the
implementation of the first year of a two-year 400% secured property tax shift away from independent
special districts. During the 2004-05 State Budget process, the State Legislature and the Governor
enacted Senate Bill 1096 and Assembly Bill 2115, effectively shifting an additional $1.3 billion in local
property tax revenues from counties, cities, special districts and redevelopment agencies to schools and
community colleges. This shift was effective for Fiscal Year 2004-05 and Fiscal Year 2005-06, resulting
OHS West26018N18.4
417W 1 ha M 34
in a 40% secured property loss for the District. See"LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES -
Proposition IA." This 40% reduction for Fiscal Year 2004-05 was somewhat offset by the continuing
upturn in the real estate market. Total assessed valuations increased over the 2004-05 Fiscal Year by
10.3%, and the full value of these increases was received on all non-secured property tax distributions.
The District expects property tax revenues in its full allotment (no State property tax shift) of $55.6
million in Fiscal Year 2006-07. Current projections indicate that property tax revenues received by the
District are expected to increase by approximately 54% in fiscal year 2006-07 and then 5% each year
thereafter. The apportionment of the ad valorem tax is pursuant to a revenue program adopted by the
District in April 1979 to comply with the EPA, the RWQCB, legal and contractual requirements and
Board policy.
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges. Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (formerly known as
connection fees) are one-time fees with two components, paid at the time properly is developed and
connected to the Wastewater System. The fees are 'unposed by the District pursuant to Section 5471 of
the California Health and Safety Code and are levied to pay a portion of the District's capital costs and for
access to capacity in the Wastewater System. Currently, the District has Capital Facilities Capacity
Charges of $2,890 per residential unit (three-bedroom); however, under the current industrial use
ordinance, additional Capital Facilities Capacity Charges can be imposed on industrial users who place
larger than average demand on the Wastewater System. Member cities and sanitary districts collect
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges for the District when building permits are issued. Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges are reviewed annually to reflect the changes in the value of the Wastewater System to
which a new customer is connecting.
On December 15, 1999, the Board approved District Ordinance No. OCSD 99-11 (the "1999
Ordinance")which established a comprehensive Capital Facilities Capacity Charge. The 1999 Ordinance,
effective as of January 1, 2000, renamed connection fees as Capital Facilities Capacity Charges and
provided a more equitable schedule of fees among industrial,commercial and residential users. Pursuant
to the 1999 Ordinance, Capital Facilities Capacity Charges were revised for high demand industrial users
in five incremental increases from 1999 through 2001.
Pursuant to an agreement with the IRWD, the IRWD is not required to pay Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges and in exchange, the IRWD provides funding to the District for the construction costs
of certain wastewater collection, transmission, treatment and disposal facilities to be used by the IRWD
and is obligated to make certain payments to the District for certain services arising from the Wastewater
System(including any standby or availability charges).
Sale of Capacity. The District has entered into agreements with the Santa Ana Watershed Project
Authority ("SAWPA") whereby wastewater from Upper Santa Ana River Basin dischargers can be
transported through the District's Santa Ana River Interceptor to the District's wastewater treatment
facilities.This program was developed in the early 1970's.The agreements establish control mechanisms
regarding the quality of wastes deposited into the Wastewater System. At the present time, SAWPA has
purchased and paid for 30 million gallons a day of capacity rights in the District's Santa Ana River
Interceptor and 13 million gallons a day of capacity in the District's wastewater treatment plants.
Additional treatment plant capacity can be purchased in increments at the District's current replacement
cost.
The Santa Ana River Interceptor Line ("SARI") was built in the Chino Basin Preserve Area in
order to remove dairy farm wastes and accommodate future when development. Salts in the washwater
generated from the cleaning of cows and milking equipment were leaching into the groundwater in the
Chino Basin and the SARI was built to divert the washwater from this area. However, due to the nature
of the Chino Basin Preserve, the development of any infrastructure in the area to accommodate the SARI
Oxs ww:2sore44ta.4
41758-11 MKH n 35
was limited. The current SARI multi-phase project is designed to connect several dairies to the SARI.
Future expansions of this project could include connecting other dairies and other waste streams with the
SARI line. See"THE DISTRICT—Capital Improvement Program"herein.
Wastewater Treatment History
The average yearly influent flow to the District has remained relatively stable for the preceding
five years. The wastewater flow for Fiscal Year 2000-01 was 246 mg/d,for Fiscal Year 2004-05 was 243
mg(d and for Fiscal Year 2005-06 was 235 mg/d. The highest flow rate experienced was during El Nino
storm periods. Peak flows of 500 mg/d were recorded in December 1997 and February 1998. There were
no sewer failures or overflows during these events.
Customers
The historical number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 200MI through
2004-05 and the projected number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 2005-06
through 2009-10, identified in Equivalent Dwelling Units("EDUs"), are set forth in Table 8 below. As

Assessed Valuation
The assessed valuation of property in the County is established by the County Assessor, except
for public utility property which is assessed by the State Board of Equalintion. Due to changes in
assessment required under State Constitution Article XIIIA, the County assessment roll no longer
purports to be proportional to market value. See "LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES"
herein. Generally, property can be reappraised to market value only upon a change in ownership or
completion of new construction. The assessed value of property that has not incurred a change of
ownership or new construction must be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2%
per year based on the State consumer price index. In the event of declining property value caused by
substantial damage, destruction, economic or other factors, the assessed value must be reduced
temporarily to reflect market value. For the definition of full cash value and more information on
property tax limitations and adjustments,see"LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES"herein.
The County Assessor determines and enrolls a value for each parcel of taxable real property in the
County every year. The value review may result in a reduction in value. Taxpayers in the County also
may appeal the determination of the County Assessor with respect to the assessed value of their property.
Table I 1 below shows a five-year history of assessed valuations in the District since Fiscal Year
2001-02. Over the years shown, assessed valuations in the District have increased at an average rate of
approximately 8.7%per fiscal year.

Since 2002, the Southern California housing market has experienced significant price
appreciation with accelerating demand. One factor contributing to such demand in southern California
over the past several years has been the increasing use of creative financing options for individual home
buyers, including adjustable rate mortgages. Adjustable rate mortgages take various forms, but
commonly have low initial interest rates, which have risen significantly in this year. As interest rates
begin to rise and adjustable rates are reset and result in higher interest rates, homeowners who financed
the purchase of their homes with an adjustable rate mortgage can expect their monthly mortgage
payments to increase. In addition,it is possible that as interest rates rise on new loans and adjustable rates
are meet on existing loans, there will be a decrease in home sale prices, resulting in recent homebuyers
having loan balances in excess of the value of their homes. In the past several months,a number of public
home builders with significant operations in the Southern California housing market have reported in
SEC filings slowing demand, significant increases in sales cancellation rates and increasing inventory
build-ups(including increasing investor/speculator resale inventory)amid rising interest rates.

Tax Levies and Delinquencies
Property taxes are based on assessed valuation which is determined as described under
"DISTRICT REVENUES—Assessed Valuation"herein. In accordance with the California Revenue and
Taxation Code,the County tax collector collects secured tax levies for each Fiscal Year.Property taxes on
the secured roll are due in two installments, on November I and February 1. The District currently
participates in the County's Teeter Plan under which the District receives annually 1000% of the secured
property tax levies and Sewer Service Charges to which it otherwise is entitled,regardless of whether the
County has actually collected the levies. This alternative method provides for funding each taxing entity
included in the Teeter Plan with its total Secured property taxes during the year the taxes are levied,
including any amount uncollected at fiscal year end. Under this plan,the District's general fund receives
the full amount of secured property taxes levied each year on its behalf and, for so long as such plan
remains in effect, the participating entities, such as the District, no longer experience delinquent taxes.
The County's general fund is the designated recipient of future collections of penalties and interest on all
delinquent taxes collected on behalf of participants in this alternative method of apportionment. In recent
years, the County has experienced delinquencies of Sewer Service Charges in the District of
approximately 2°/n.
Unpaid taxes become delinquent after December 10 and April 10,respectively,and a ten percent
penalty attaches to any delinquent payment. In addition, property on the secured roll with respect to
which taxes are delinquent is declared tax-defaulted on or about June 30. Such property may thereafter be
redeemed by payment of the delinquent taxes and the delinquency penalty, plus costs and redemption
penalty of one and one-half percent per month to the time of redemption. If taxes are unpaid for a period
of five years or more,the tax-defaulted property is subject to Sale by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector.
Property taxes on the unsecured roll are due as of the January 1 lien date and become delinquent,
if unpaid,cn August 31. A ten percent penalty attaches to delinquent taxes on property on the unsecured
roll and an additional penalty of one and one-half percent per month begins to accrue on November 1.
The taxing authority has four ways of collecting unsecured personal property taxes: (1) a civil action
against the taxpayer, (2) filing a certificate in the office of the County Clerk specifying certain facts in
order to obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the taxpayer; (3)filing a certificate of delinquency
for recordation in the County Recorder's office in order to obtain a lien on certain property of the
taxpayer; and (4) seizure and Sale of personal property, improvements or possessory interests belonging
or assessed to the taxpayer.
Table 12 below shows a five-year history of the District's ad valorem total property tax and
Sewer Service Charge levies. Pursuant to the Teeter Plan described above, which provides for the
County's financing of annual delinquencies, information with respect to outstanding delinquencies in

Budgetary Process
The District's operating fund budget relies on revenues from property taxes and Sewer Service
Charges, both of which are collected on the property tax bill. See "DISTRICT REVENUES — Sewer
Service Charges" and"—Additional Revenues." The District receives tax revenues from the County in
eight allocations, with the largest receipts in December and April. The District operates on a Fiscal Year
beginning each July 1. The operating fund budgets include funds to cover the dry period of each tax year,
i.e., the period from the beginning of the Fiscal Year until the first taxes me received. The dry-period
requirement is budgeted at one-half of the annual operating fund budgeted expenditures. The District
uses the accrual method of accounting in its budgets.The District has conformed to its budgets for the last
five fiscal years and is conforming to its budget for the current fiscal year.
The District's annual budget preparation process begins in January of each year and concludes in
June upon its adoption. The General Manager reviews the final operating budgets and then distributes
them to the Directors and District Committees for consideration. The Board of Directors then adopts the
proposed annual budgets,with any revisions,in June of each year.
Budgetary control is exercised at the individual Department level and administrative policies
provide guidelines on budget transfers and the authorization necessary to implement hansfers. A budget
adjustment is a transfer which does not change the total appropriated amount and does not require Board
action. Approval may be granted by the General Manager or the Department Head in certain
circumstances. Department Heads have the discretion to reapportion funds between certain line items
within a division but may not exceed total appropriated amounts for each department. They may also
transfer staff across divisional lines. The General Manager and Board of Directors must approve
additional capital outlay items.
A budget amendment is an adjustment to the total appropriated amount which was not included in
the original budget. These supplemental appropriations require formal action by the Board of Directors.
Prior year reserves or fund balances may be appropriated to fund items not previously included in the
adopted budget. Reserves or fund balances exceeding minimum amounts required by fiscal policies may
be appropriated if it is determined to be in the best interest of the District. Directors may also appropriate
reserves in case of emergencies or unusual circumstances.

Reserves
The District has an established reserve policy with eight separate categories for its reserve funds.
The following table sets forth actual reserves at June 30, 2005 and 2006, and projected reserves at June
30, 2007, for each fund. Increases to the Capital Improvement Program Reserve and Debt Service
Required Reserves are attributable principally to the funding of projected CIP cash flow and the Reserve
Fund for the Certificates. Reserve levels are calculated in accordance with the District's reserve policy.

The Cash Flow Requirements Reserve was established to fund operation, maintenance and
certificates of participation debt service expenses for the first half of the fiscal year,prior to the receipt of
the first installment of the property tax allocation and sewer service user fees which are collected as a
separate line item on the property tax bill. The level of this reserve is established as the sum of an amount
equal to six months operations and maintenance expense and the total of certificates of participation debt
service expenses due in the subsequent fiscal year. The Operating Contingency Reserve was established
to provide for non-recurring expenditures that were not anticipated when the annual budget and Sewer
Service Charges were adopted. The level of this reserve is equal to ten percent of the District's annual
operating budget. The Capital Improvement Reserve was established to fund annual increments of the
capital improvement program with a target level at one half of the average annual capital improvement
program through the year 2020. Levels higher and lower than the target can be expected while the long-
term financing and capital improvement programs are being finalized. The Catastrophic Loss, or Self-
Insurance Reserve is established for property damage including fire, flood and earthquake, general
liability and workers' compensation.The level of reserve in this fund is maintained at a level to fund the
District's non-reimbursed costs which are estimated to be $57 million. The Capital
Replacement/Renewal Reserve was established to provide thirty percent of the funding to replace or
refurbish the current collection, treatment and disposal facilities. The current replacement value of these
facilities is estimated to be approximately $5.56 billion. The initial reserve level for this fund was
established at $50 million and is augmented by interest earnings and a portion of the annual Sewer
Service Charges. Debt Service Required Reserves(or Obligation Reserve Funds as defried in the Muster
Agreement)are controlled by a trustee pursuant to the provisions of certificates of participation issues and
is not available for the general needs of the District. The Rate Stabilization Reserve accumulates all
available funds which exceed the targets for all other reserves. The Rate Stabilization Reserve is a
OHS%u 260194418.4

separate fund from the Rate Stabilization Account established under the Trust Agreement. These funds
are applied to future years' needs and must he maintained at specified levels. There is currently no
established target for this reserve and,because the reserves of all other funds have not been exceeded,the
reserve level for this reserve fund is zero for Fiscal Years 2005-05 through 2006-07. See APPENDIX A

Projected Operating Data
Set forth in Table 15 below are projected operating results for the District for Fiscal Years 2006-
07 through 2010-11. These projections assume the number of projects and scheduled build out set forth
in the CIP Validation Study, increased sewer service rates for Fiscal Year 2006-07 and projected
increased sewer service rates for Fiscal Years 2007.08 and 2008-09 at 9.8% and thereafter at 12.9%.
Principal expenditure components of these projections are the Interim Strategic Plan and CIP Validation
Study,which identified 107 large capital projects managed by the Engineering Department through 2020
at a total cost of$2.3 billion,and currently projected to include nearly$1.5 billion in the next five years.
The District's CIP cash Flow budget for Fiscal Year 2006-07 is$266.1 million,an increase of$5.8 million
from the prior year total. This CIP budget finances joint works treatment and disposal system
improvement projects, and collection system improvement projects. This increase is attributable to the
additional infrastructure needs identified in the Interim Strategic Plan and in the CIP Validation Study.
The preparation of such projections was based upon certain assumptions and certain forecasts with respect
to conditions that may occur in the future. While the District believes that these assumptions and
forecasts are reasonable for the purposes of the projected selected operating data, it makes no
representations that they will in fact occur. To the extent that actual future conditions differ from those
assumed herein,the data will vary.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operating Data
The District's Fiscal Year 2006-07 total operating and capital improvement budget is $456.3
million,a 0.3% increase over the prior year budget of$455.1. The District's Fiscal Year 2006-07 budget
includes$266.1 million in capital improvement outlays as the District moves towards reaching secondary
treatment standards by the target date of December 31, 2012, as specified by the Board's July 2002
resolution and in keeping with the terms and conditions of its ocean discharge permit and related Consent
Decree.
The Fiscal Year 2006-07 operations budget for the collection, treatment, and disposal of
wastewater is $129.1 million, an $11.3 million, or 9.6% increase from the prior year budget of$117.9
million. This increase is primarily attributable to the proposed increase in personnel costs due mostly to
the current capital improvement program,totaling$1.6 billion over the next 10 years. Personnel costs are
being proposed for increase at 6.9%, or$4.8 million. Contractual services budget increased $2.9 million,
or 19.9a/m due primarily to the $2.7 million, or 27.20% increase in solids removal. This increase is
reflective of a projected 18.Oa/a increase in hauling and land application costs compounded by a 4.0%
increase in the volume of solids generated, from 250,000 tons to 261,000 tons. Repairs and maintenance
budget increased $2.2 million, or 26.8% primarily due to the $1.2 million maintenance replacement of
activated sludge diffusers that supply aeration to the basins. In addition, $750,000 was approved for the
cleaning of three digesters and another $700,000 for the overhaul of two txxnral generation system
engines used to supplement electricity from digester gas produced from the treatment plants. Another
significant increase is in operating materials and supplies, up $1.4 million or 6.7%, due primarily to the
combined increases in chemicals for treatment, odor control, and disinfection approximating one million
dollars. These chemical increases are primarily a result of unit price increases of up to 25%. The cast per
million gallons of wastewater treated,an industry-wide performance measurement,is expected to increase
in Fiscal Year 2006-07 to $1,358, a $141, or 11.6a/m increase over the prior year actual of $1,217.
Wastewater flow through the treatment system is expected to increase from the actual 235 million gallons
per day(mgd)in Fiscal Year 2005-06 to 250 mgd in Fiscal Year 2006-07,a 6.4%increase.
The Fiscal Year 2006-07 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)cash flow budget was approved at
$266.1 million, a 4.00% decrease from the prior year budget of $277.1 million. These budgeted cash
outlays are based on a valuation study of the CIP conducted by staff to ensure the appropriateness of all
capital projects and the accuracy of the cost estimates. The Fiscal Year 2006-07 CIP identified 85 large
capital projects and 23 special projects over a 15 year period at a total cost of$1.87 billion. This total
represented a $435 million decrease from the Fiscal Year 2005-06 CIP. Based on this study, the Board
adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-30B increasing the sanitary sewer service charges by approximately 9.8%
for Fiscal Year 2006-07. This action increased the single family residence user rate, the basis for all
sewer user fee rates, from $151.00 to $165.80. The completion of the CIP Validation Study for Fiscal
Year 2006-07 reaffirms the need for further rate increases in future years. Annual increases are ordered to
be subject to reaffirmation by the affirmative vote of 213 of the members of the Board of Directors prior
to implementation of any such charge for each fiscal year. See"DISTRICT REVENUES-Sewer Service
Charges."
The CIP Validation Study and Secondary Treatment Review conducted in March 2007 updated
the CEP with the continue goal of meeting secondary treatment standards as quickly as possible while
providing for increased flows and rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing facilkies. This updated
CIP Validation Study resulted in a revised CIP consisting of 107 large capital projects through 2020 at a
OHSWea:26018441&4
41758-11 WditlY CH 44
total cost of$2.3 billion. The CIP cash flows over the next ten years is now projected to be$1.6 billion;
average annual expenditures of nearly $300 million projected over the next five years, and the
implementation of full secondary treatment standards to be completed on or before December 31,2012.

In connection with the execution and delivery of the above-referenced outstanding certificates of
participation, the district entered certain installment purchase agreements, or equivalent documents
providing for the payment of installment payments or similar payments. )n December 1992,the District
caused the execution and delivery of certain certificates of participation which were subsequently
designated as the Orange County Sanitation Refunding Certificates of Participation, 1992 Series (the
"1"2 Certificates"). The District entered into an agreement for acquisition and construction (the"1992
Agreement for Acquisition and Construction"), a Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement (including as
thereafter amended and substituted, the "1992 Standby Agreement") in order to provide for payment of
the purchase price of tendered and um emarketed 1992 Certificates,and an Interest Rate Swap Agreement,
as amended(the"1992 Swap")with AIG Financial Products Corp.
In September 1993, the District caused the execution and delivery of certain certificates of
participation which were subsequently designated as the Orange County Sanitation Refunding Certificates
of Participation, 1993 Series (the "1993 Certificates"). The District entered into an agreement for
acquisition and construction(the"1993 Agreement for Acquisition and Construction"),a Reimbursement
Agreement (including as thereafter amended and substituted, the "1993 Reimbursement Agreement") in
order to provide for payment of the purchase price of tendered and unremarketed 1993 Certificates, and
an interest rate swap agreement, as amended (the "1993 Swap") with Societe Gentimle, New York
Branch.
In August 2000,the District caused the execution and delivery of the Certificates of Participation,
Series 2000-A (the "2000-A Certificates") and the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding
Certificates of Participation, Series 2000-B (the "2000-B Certificates" and together with the 2000-A
Certificates the "2000 Certificates"). In connection with the execution and delivery of the 2000
Certificates, the District entered into an installment purchase agreement (the"2000 Installment Purchase
Agreement')and a Standby Agreement,dated as of August 1,2000(the"2000 Standby Agreement"), by
and among the District,the Trustee and D)exia Credit Local,acting through its New York Agency in order
to provide for payment of the purchase price of tendered and unremarketed 2000 Certificates.
On August 2003,the District caused the execution and delivery of the Orange County Sanitation
District Certificates of Participation, Series 2003 (the "2003 Certificates") evidencing $280,000,000
original aggregate principal amount,a portion of which are being refunded with proceeds from the sale of

the Certificates. In connection with the execution and delivery of the 2003 Certificates,the District and
the Corporation entered into an installment purchase agreement (the "2003 Installment Purchase
Agreement").
In March 2006, the District caused the execution and delivery of certain certificates of
participation designated as the Orange County Sanitation Refunding Certificates of Participation, 2006
Series (the "2006 Certificates") evidencing $200,000,000 original aggregate principal amount. In
connection with the execution and delivery of the 2006 Certificates, the District and the Corporation
entered into an installment purchase agreement (the "2006 Installment Purchase Agreement") and the
District entered into a Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2006 (the "2006
Standby Agreement"), with Depfa Bank plc, acting through its New York Branch in order to provide for
payment of the purchase price of tendered and unremarketed 2006 Certificates.
The 1992 Standby Agreement, the 1993 Reimbursement Agreement, and the 2000 Standby
Agreement and the 2006 Standby Agreement each constitutes a Credit Facility Agreement and a Credit
Facility.The obligation of the District to repay amounts dmwn on or paid under these agreements,to pay
interest on such amounts and to pay any other amounts in connection with such draw or payment
constitutes a Reimbursement Obligation,each with respect to a Senior Obligation.
For more information regarding the District's outstanding indebtedness and interest rate swaps as
of June 30, 2006, we "Variable Rate and Swap Obligations" and Notes 4 and 5 to the Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2006
set forth in Appendix A.
Variable Rate and Swap Obligations
The District entered into separate interest rate swap agreements in connection with the 1992
Certificates and the 1993 Certificates. The objective of the interest rate swaps is to lower the District's
borrowing costs when compared against fixed-rate bonds at the time of issuance. The swaps effectively
change the District's variable interest rate to a synthetic fixed rate of 5.55%on the 1992 Certificates and
to a synthetic fixed rate of 4.56%on the 1993 Certificates. By their terms,the District receives payments
that are calculated by reference to a floating interest rate and makes payments that are calculated by
reference to a fixed interest rate. In its annual financial report, the interest rate swap agreements are
accounted for as a hedge by the District, and the associated interest rate differential to be paid or received
is charged to interest expense as interest rates change. See Note 5 to the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year Ended Jane 30, 2006 set forth
in Appendix A.
Under the 1992 Swap,the District receives a variable interest rate equal to the interest paid to the
holders of the 1992 Certificates which is based on a tax exempt daily interest rate as determined by the
remarketing agent on an initial notional amount of$160,600,000. The notional value of the swap declines
in tandem with the principal amount evidenced by the 1992 Certificates. The 1992 Swap matures on
August 1, 2013. Because interest rates have declined since execution of the 1992 Swap, the swap had an
estimated negative fair value of$10.92 million as of June 30,2005.
Under the 1993 Swap,the District receives a variable interest rate equal to the interest paid to the
holders of the 1993 Certificates which is based on a tax exempt daily interest rate as determined by the
remarketing agent on an initial notional amount of$46,000,000. The notional value of the 1993 Swap
declines in tandem with the principal amount evidenced by the 1993 Certificates. The 1993 Swap
matures on August 1, 2016. Because interest rates have declined since execution of the 1993 Swap,the
swap had an estimated negative fair value of$3.43 million as of Jane 30,2005.
OHS Wa 260184418.4
41758-I l KTJ4/MKH 47
The interest rate swap agreements entail risk to the District. The counterparty may fail or be
unable to perform, interest rates may very from assumptions and the District may be required to make
significant payments in the event of an early termination of an interest rate swap. The District or the
counterparty may terminate a swap if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the contract. In
the event of termination due to default,the defaulting party will pay to the non-defaulting party the excess
(if any) of the sum of the settlement amount and the unpaid amounts owed less the unpaid amounts due
from the non-defaulting party. Each swap may be terminated by the District if the counteryarty's credit
quality rating falls below"AA"by Standard& Poor's or"Aa3 by Moody's Investors Service. If a swap
is terminated, the related series of certificates of participation would no longer carry a synthetic interest
rate. The District believes that if any such an event were to occur, it would not have a material adverse
impact on its financial position.
As of June 30, 2006, the District was not exposed to credit risk associated with such swaps
because each swap had a negative fair value. However,should interest rates change,and the fair value of
the swap become positive, the District would be exposed to credit risk in the amount of the swap's fair
value. Neither swap will expose the District to basis risk because the variable-rate interest paid to the
certificate holders is equal to the variable-rate interest earned on the notional amount of the swap.
Net payments under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements constitute Senior Obligations
under the Master Agreement and are on a parity with the District's payment obligations with respect to
the Certificates. Likewise, termination payments under the interest rate swap agreements would be
payable on a parity with the District's payment obligations with respect to the Certificates.
For more information regarding the District's interest rate swaps as of June 30,2006,see Notes 4
and 5 to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal
Year Ended June 30,2006 set forth in Appendix A.
Anticipated Financings
As projected out to 2020, the CIP cash flow needs will be approximately $2.3 billion in future
wastewater treatment improvements and in future collection system capital improvements, with average
annual expenditures of nearly $300 million projected over the next five years, and with the bulk of the
construction scheduled during the next ten years. Sixty percent of these improvements are expected to be
funded through current revenues and the balance will be funded through the issuance of new debt. In
Fiscal Year 2007-08 the District expects to incur Additional Senior Obligations evidencing principal in an
aggregate amount of approximately$300 million.

LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES
Article XIIIA of the California Constitution
On June 6, 1978, California voters approved Proposition 13 ("Proposition 13'), which added
Article XIIIA to the State Constitution ("Article XIIIA"). Article XIIIA, as amended, limits the amount
of any ad valorem tax on real property to one percent of the full cash value thereof,except that additional
ad valorem taxes may be levied to pay debt service on (i)indebtedness approved by the voters prior to
July 1, 1978,(ii)(as a result of an amendment to Article XIIIA approved by State voters on June 3, 1986)
on bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property which has been approved on
or after July 1, 1978 by two-third of the voters on such indebtedness, and (iii) bonded indebtedness
incurred by a school district or community college district for the construction, reconstruction,
rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities or the acquisition or lease of real property for school
facilities, approved by 55% of the voters of the district, but only if certain accountability measures are
included in the proposition. Article XIIIA defines fall cash value to mean "the county assessor's
valuation of real property as shown on the 1975-76 tax bill under `full cash value," or thereafter, the
appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has
occurred after the 1975 assessment" The full cash value may be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a
rate not to exceed 2%per year or to reflect a reduction in the consumer price index or comparable data for
the area under the taxing jurisdiction, or reduced in the event of declining property values caused by
substantial damage, destruction, or other factors. Legislation enacted by the State Legislature to
implement Article XIIIA provides that notwithstanding any other law,local agencies may not levy any ad
valorem property tax except to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters as described
above.
Legislation Implementing Article XIIIA
Legislation has been enacted and amended a number of times since 1979 to implement Article
XIIIA. Under current law,local agencies are no longer permitted to levy directly any property tax(except
OHS Wnr.26018441&4
41759-11 htx14/MKH 51
x i II levied the County
to pay voter-approved indebtedness). The one percent property to s automatically by
and distributed according to a formula among taxing agencies. The formula apportions the tax roughly in
proportion to the relative shares of taxes levied prior to 1989.
Increases of assessed valuation resulting from reappraisals of property due to new construction,
change in ownership or from the two percent annual adjustment are allocated among the various
jurisdictions in the"taxing area"based upon their respective"situs." Any such allocation made to a local
agency continues as part of its allocation in future years.
Beginning in the 1981-82 fiscal year, assessors in the State no longer record property values on
tax rolls at the assessed value of 25%of market value which was expressed as$4 per$100 assessed value.
All taxable property is now shown at full market value on the tax rolls. Consequently, the tax rate is
expressed as$1 per$100 of taxable value. All taxable property value included in this Official Statement
is shown at 100% of market value (unless noted differently) and all tax rates reflect the $1 per $100 of
taxable value.
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution
An initiative to amend the State Constitution entitled"Limitation of Government Appropriations"
was approved on September 6. 1979, thereby adding Article XIIIB to the State Constitution ("Article
XIIIB"). Under Article XIIIB,the State and each local governments] entity has an annual "appropriations
limit" and is not permitted to spend certain moneys that are called"appropriations subject to limitation"
(consisting of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds) in an amount higher than the
appropriations limit. Article XIIIB does not affect the appropriations of moneys that are excluded from
the definition of"appropriations subject to limitation,"including debt service on indebtedness existing or
authorized as of Janmry 1. 1979, or bonded indebtedness subsequently approved by the voters. In
general terns, the appropriations limit is to be based on certain 1978-79 expenditures, and is to be
adjusted annually to reflect changes in consumer prices, populations, and services provided by these
entities. Among other provisions of Article XIIIB, if these entities' revenues in any year exceed the
amounts permitted to be spent.the excess would have to be returned by revising tax rates or fee schedules
over the subsequent two years.
"Appropriations subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend 'proceeds of taxes," which
consist of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory
licenses, user charges or other fees to the extent that such proceeds exceed"the cost reasonably bome by
such entity in providing the regulation, product or service,"but"proceeds of taxes"excludes tax refunds
and some benefit payments such as unemployment insurance. No limit is imposed on appropriations of
funds which are not -proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-
tax funds.
Not included in the Article XIIIB limit are appropriations for the debt service costs of bonds
existing or authorized by January 1, 1979. or subsequently authorized by the voters, appropriations
required to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government and appropriations for qualified
capital outlay projects. The appropriations limit may also be exceeded in certain cases of emergency.
The appropriations limit for the District in each year is based on the District's limit for the prior
year, adjusted annually for changes in the cost of living and changes in population, and adjusted, where
applicable, for transfer of financial responsibility of providing services to or from another unit of
government. The change in the cost of living is, at the District's option, either(1)the percentage change
in State per capita personal income, or (2)the percentage change in the local assessment roll on
nonresidential property. Either test is likely to be greater than the change in the cost of living index,
ors wea:26a18UI&4
41758a1 MK ithaH 52
which was used prior to Proposition 111. Change in population is to be measured either within the
jurisdiction of the District or the County as a whole.
As amended by Proposition I11, the appropriations limit is tested over consecutive two-year
periods. Any excess of the aggregate "proceeds of taxes" received by a District over such two-year
period above the combined appropriations limits for those two years is to be returned to taxpayers by
reductions in tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years. As originally enacted in 1979,the
District's appropriations limit was based on 1978-79 authorizations to expend proceeds of taxes and was
adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population (using different definitions, which
were modified by Proposition 111). Starting with Fiscal Year 1990-91,the District's appropriations limit
was recalculated by taking the actual Fiscal Year 1986-87 limit,and applying the annual adjustments as if
Proposition 111 had been in effect. The District does not anticipate that any such appropriations
limitations will impair its ability to make Installment Payments as required by the Installment Purchase
Agreement.
Proposition 1A
Proposition IA ("Proposition IA"), proposed by the Legislature in connection with the 2004-05
Budget Act and approved by the voters in November 2004, restricts State authority to reduce major local
tax revenues such as the tax shifts permitted to take place in Fiscal Years 2004-05 and 2005-06.
Proposition IA provides that the State may not reduce any local sales tax rate, limit existing local
government authority to levy a sales tax rate or change the allocation of local sales tax revenues, subject
to certain exceptions. Proposition I A generally prohibits the State from shifting to schools or community
colleges any share of property tax revenues allocated to local governments for any fiscal year,as set forth
under the laws in effect as of November 3, 2004. Any change in the allocation of property tax revenues
among local governments within a county must be approved by two-thirds of both houses of the
Legislature.
Proposition I provides, however, that beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-09, the State may shift to
schools and community colleges up to 8%of local government property tax revenues,which amount must
be repaid, with interest, within three years, if the Governor proclaims that the shift is needed due to a
severe state financial hardship, the shift is approved by two thirds of both houses and certain other
conditions are met. The State may also approve voluntary exchanges of local sales tax and property tax
revenues among local governments within a county.
Proposition IA also provides that if the State reduces the vehicle license fee ("VLF") rate
currently in effect, 0.65% of vehicle value, the State must provide local governments with equal
replacement revenues. Further, Proposition 1A requires the State, beginning July 1, 2005, to suspend
State mandates affecting cities, counties and special districts, excepting mandates relating to employee
rights, schools or community colleges, in any year that the State does not fully reimburse local
governments for their costs to comply with such mandates.
Proposition 62
On November 4, 1986, California voters adopted Proposition 62, a statutory initiative which
amended the California Government Code by the addition of Sections 53720-53730. Proposition 62
requires that (i)any local tax for general governmental purposes(a"general tax")must be approved by a
majority vote of the electorate; (ii)any local tax for specific purposes(a"special tax") must be approved
by a two-thirds vote of the electorate; (iii) any general tax must be proposed for a vote by two-thirds of
the legislative body; and (iv) proceeds of any tax imposed in violation of the vote requirements must be
deducted from the local agency's property tax allocation. Provisions applying Proposition 62
OHSwea:260194418.4
41759-11 MKH/IVIKH 53
retroactively from its effective date to 1985 are unlikely to be of any continuing importance;certain other
restrictions were already contained in the Constitution.
Most of the provisions of Proposition 62 were affirmed by the 1995 California Supreme Court
decision in Santa Clara County Local Transportation Authority v. Guardino, which invalidated a special
sales tax for transportation purposes because fewer than two-thirds of the voters voting on the measure
had approved the tax. The District has not imposed any taxes subject to the provisions of Proposition 62
and believes that it will not impair its ability to make its Installment Payments as required by the
Installment Purchase Agreement. The requirements of Proposition 62 have generally been superseded by
the enactment of Article XIIIC of the Constitution(Proposition 218)in 1996.
Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California Constitution
Proposition 218, a State ballot initiative known as the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," was
approved by the voters on November 5, 1996. The initiative added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the
Califomia Constitution,creating additional requirements for the imposition by most local governments of
"general taxes,""special taxes,""assessments,""fees,"and"charges." Proposition 218 became effective,
pursuant to its terms, as of November 6, 1996. although compliance with some of its provisions was
deferred until July 1, 1997, and certain of its provisions purport to apply to any tax imposed for general
governmental purposes(i.e., "general taxes") imposed,extended or increased on or after January 1, 1995
and prior to November 6, 1996.
Article XIIID imposes substantive and procedural requirements on the imposition, extension or
increase of any"fee" or"charge"subject to its provisions. A "fee" or"charge" subject to Article XIIID
includes any levy, other than an ad valorem tax, special tax or assessment, imposed by an agency upon a
parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership. Article XIIID prohibits, among other
things, the imposition of any proposed fee or charge, and, possibly, the increase of any existing fee or
charge, in the event written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented at a required public
hearing on the fee or charge by a majority of owners of the parcels upon which the fee or charge is to be
imposed. Except for fees and charges for water, sewer and refuse collection services, the approval of a
majority of the property owners subject to the fee or charge,or at the option of the agency,by a two-thirds
vote of the electorate residing in the affected area, is required within 45 days following the public hearing
on any such proposed new or increased fee or charge. The California Supreme Court decisions in
Richmond v. Shasta Community Services District, 32 Cal. 4th 409 (2004) ("Richmond'), and Bighorn-
Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil (published July 24, 2006) ("Bighorn") have clarified some of the
uncertainty surrounding the applicability of Section 6 of Article XIIID to service fees and charges. In
Richmond, the Shasta Community Services District charged a water connection fee, which included a
capacity charge for capital improvements to the water system and a fire suppression charge. The Court
held that both the capacity charge and the fire suppression charge were not subject to Article XIIID
because a water connection fee is not a property-related fee or charge because it results from the property
owner's voluntary decision to apply for the connection. In both Richmond and Bighorn, however, the
Court stated that a fee for ongoing water service through an existing connection is imposed "as an
incident of property ownership" within the meaning of Article XIIID, rejecting, in Bighorn, the water
agency's argument that consumption-based water charges are not imposed "as an incident of property
ownership"but as a result of the voluntary decisions of customers as to how much water to use.
Article XIIID also provides that"standby charges"are considered"assessments"and must follow
the procedures required for "assessments" under Article XIIID and imposes several procedural
requirements for the imposition of any assessment, which may include (1) various notice requirements,
including the requirement to mail a ballot to owners of the affected property; (2) the substitution of a
property owner ballot procedure for the traditional written protest procedure,and providing that"majority
OHS wen:260184419.4
41758-11 MKH/KIKH 54
protest" exists when ballots (weighted according to proportional financial obligation) submitted in
opposition exceed ballots in favor of the assessments; and (3) the requirement that the levying entity
"separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel"of land. Article XIIID also
precludes standby charges for services that are not immediately available to the parcel being charged.
Article XIIID provides that all existing, new or increased assessments are to comply with its
provisions beginning July 1, 1997. Existing assessments imposed on or before November 5, 1996, and
"imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operations expenses for [among
other things] water" are exempted from some of the provisions of Article XIIID applicable to
assessments.
Article XIIIC extends the people's initiative power to reduce or repeal existing local taxes,
assessments,fees and charges. This extension of the initiative power is not limited by the terms of Article
XIIIC to fees, taxes, assessment fees and charges imposed after November 6, 1996 and absent other
authority could result in retroactive reduction in any existing taxes, assessments, fees or charges. In
Bighorn, the Court concluded that under Article XIIIC local voters by initiative may reduce a public
agency's water rates and delivery charges. The Court noted, however, that it was not holding that the
authorized initiative power is free of all limitations, stating that it was not determining whether the
electorate's initiative power is subject to the public agency's statutory obligation to ad water service
charges at a level that will "pay the operating expenses of the agency, ... provide for repairs and
depreciation of works,provide a reasonable surplus for improvements,extensions,and enlargements,pay
the interest on any bonded debt, and provide a sinking or other fund for the payment of the principal of
such debt as it may become due."
The District implemented a five-year plan beginning in Fiscal Year 2002-03 which included a
rate increase of$7.50 per year, or 9.40/0, for all ratepayers to $87.50 per year. In May 2003, the Board
approved consideration of a 15% rate increase a year, for each year, over the than following five years,
upon 2/3 vote of the Board after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with Article XIIID.
This level of increase was considered necessary to provide needed capital improvements, to cover
additional treatment and disinfection costs, and to minimize rate increases over an extended period of
time. On July 2, 2003, the Board adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-20 increasing sanitary sewer service
charges for all single family and multi-family residential units as well as most commercial and industrial
properties. The Ordinance was adopted by a 2/3 vote of the Board as required under law after conducting
a noticed public hearing in compliance with all laws. The Ordinance increases the amount of the annual
charges by approximately 15% per year for each of the following five years, commencing with Fiscal
Year 2003-04, thereby raising the single family residence user rate from the than current $87.50 to
$100.00, $115.00, $132.00, $152.00,and$175.00 annually. The Ordinance discounted by 5%the annual
increases which were the subject of the required protest hearings on the fee increase as described above.
After the completion of the CIP Validation Study for Fiscal Year 2005.06 that increased its ten year CIP
cash flow projects to $2.2 billion, or an average of$220 million per year, the Board adopted Ordinance
No. OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06 single family residential rate 31%, from $115 to $15,
for such year. In May 2006, the Board adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-30B increasing the Fiscal Year
2006.07 single family residential rate 9.8%, from$151.00 to$165.80 for such year, except those located
in Revenue Area 14. These increases represented the increase permitted under the protest hearings on the
fee increase which was held in 2003.
In April 2007, the Board began its considerations towards increasing sanitary sewer service
charges for all single family and multi-family residential units as well as most commercial and industrial
properties. Any such increases are subject to approval by ordinance adopted by a 2/3 vote of the Board
after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with all laws. See"DISTRICT REVENUES—
Sewer Service Charges"herein.
OHS Wda260184418.4
41738-11 R4MMXH 55
Pursuant to the Master Agreement,the District will,to the extent permitted by law,fix,prescribe
and collect fees and charges for the services of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to
yield during each Fiscal Year(a)Net Revenues equal to 125%of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for
such Fiscal Year, and (b)Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for
such Fiscal Year.The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may
make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the fees and charges then in
effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be
sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. In the event that service charges are
determined to be subject to Article XIIID,and proposed increased service charges cannot be imposed as a
result of a majority protest,such circumstances may adversely effect the ability of the District to generate
revenues in the amounts required by the Master Agreement, and to make Installment Payments as
provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. No assurance may be given that Articles XIIIC and
XIIID will not have a material adverse impact on Net Revenues.
Other Initiative Measures
Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID were adopted pursuant to Celifomia's constitutional
initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be adopted by California voters,
placing additional limitations on the ability of the District to increase revenues.

OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
2006" herein. The report issued for the year ended June 30, 2006, received the Government Finance

TAX MATTERS
In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington& Sutcliffe LLP("Special Counsel"),based upon an analysis
of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the
accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants,interest components evidenced
by the Certificates is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the"Code")and is exempt from State of California personal income
taxes. Special Counsel is of the fimther opinion that interest components evidenced by the Certificates are
not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual or corporate altemative minimum
taxes, although Special Counsel observes that such interest is included in adjusted current earnings when
calculating corporate altemative minimum taxable income. A complete copy of the proposed form of
opinion of Special Counsel is set forth in Appendix E hereto.
To the extent the issue price of any maturity of the Certificates is less than the amount to be paid
at maturity of such Certificates(excluding amounts stated to be interest and payable at least annually over
the term of such Certificates),the difference constitutes"original issue discount,"the accrual of which,to
the extent properly allocable to each Beneficial Owner thereof, is treated as interest components
evidenced by the Certificates which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and
State of California personal income taxes. For this purpose, the issue price of a particular maturity of the
Certificates is the first price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the Certificates is sold to
the public (excluding bond houses, broken, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of
underwriters,placement agents or wholesalers). The original issue discount with respect to any maturity
of the Certificates accrues daily over the term to maturity of such Certificates on the basis of a constant
interest rate compounded semiannually (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates).
The accming original issue discount is added to the adjusted basis of such Certificates to determine
taxable gain or loss upon disposition (including sale, prepayment, or payment on maturity) of such
OHS WW260184418.4
41758-11 NWJ41Ir1KH 57
Certificates. Beneficial Owners of the Certificates should consult their own tax advisors with respect to
the tax consequences of ownership of Certificates with original issue discowt,including the treatment of
Beneficial Owners who do not purchase such Certificates in the original offering to the public at the first
price at which a substantial amount of such Certificates is sold to the public.
Certificates purchased,whether at original issuance or otherwise, for an amount higher than their
principal amount payable at maturity (or, in some cases, at their earlier call date) ("Premium
Certificates") will be treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the
amortizable bond premium in the case of bonds, like the Premium Certificates, the interest components
evidenced by which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, the
amount of tax-exempt interest received and a Beneficial Owner's basis in a Premium Certificate,will be
reduced by the amount of amortizable bond premium properly allocable to such Beneficial Owner.
Beneficial Owners of Premium Certificates should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the
proper treatment of amortizable bond premium in their particular circumstances.
The Code imposes various restrictions,conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from
gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest components evidenced by obligations such as the
Certificates. The District has made certain representations and covenanted to comply with certain
restrictions, conditions and requirements designed to ensure that interest components evidenced by the
Certificates will not be included in federal gross income. Inaccuracy of these representations or failure to
comply with these covenants may result in interest components evidenced by the Certificates being
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the date of original delivery of
the Certificates. The opinion of Special Counsel assumes the accuracy of these representations and
compliance with these covenants. Special Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any
person) whether any actions taken (or not taken), or events occurring (or not occurring), or any other
matters coming to Special Counsel's attention after the date of delivery of the Certificates may adversely
affect the value of. or the tax status of interest components evidenced by,the Certificates. Accordingly,
the opinion of Special Counsel is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon in connection with any
such action,events or masers.
Although Special Counsel is of the opinion that interest components evidenced by the Certificates
are excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and are exempt from State of California
personal income taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest components
evidenced by, the Certificates may otherwise affect a Beneficial Owner's federal, state or local tax
liability. The nature and cx1cm of these other tax consequences depends upon the particular tax status of
the Beneficial Owner or the Beneficial Owner's other items of income or deduction. Special Counsel
expresses no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences.
Future legislation, if enacted into law, or clarification of the Code may cause interest components
evidenced by the Certificates to be subject, directly or indirectly,to federal income taxation,or otherwise
prevent Beneficial Owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The
introduction or enactment of any such future legislation or clarification of the Code may also affect the
market price for, or marketability of, the Certificates. Prospective purchasers of the Certificates should
consult their own tax advisers regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation, as to which
Special Counsel expresses no opinion.
The opinion of Special Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not
directly addressed by such authorities, and represents Special Counsel's judgment as to the proper
treatment of the Certificates for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS")or the courts. Furthermore, Special Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion
or assurance about the future activities of the District, or about the effect of future changes in the Code,
OHS Wm:26a1MI&4
41759-I I MKH/M1MH 58
the applicable regulations,the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS. The District
has covenanted however,to comply with the requirements of the Code.
Special Counsel's engagement with respect to the Certificates ends with the delivery of the
Certificates,and, unless separately engaged, Special Counsel is not obligated to defend the District or the
Beneficial Owners regarding the tax-exempt status of the Certificates in the event of an audit examination
by the IRS. Under current procedures, parties other than the District and its appointed counsel, including
the Beneficial Owners, would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit examination process.
Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit examination of tax-exempt
bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with which the District legitimately
disagrees, may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS, including but not limited to selection of the
Certificates for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an audit of bonds presenting similar tax
issues may affect the market price for,or the marketability of,the Certificates, and may cause the District
or the Beneficial Owners to incur significant expense.
VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATIONS
Causey Demgen & Moore Inc., certified public accountants (the "Verification Agent"), will
deliver a report stating that the firm has verified the accuracy of mathematical computations concerning
(a)the adequacy of the maturing principal amounts of and interest earned on the Government Obligations
initially deposited in the Escrow Fund to provide for the payment of the interest due on each of the
Refunded Certificates to and including the Redemption Date, and to pay on the Redemption Date the
principal or redemption price thereof, and (b) the computations of yield on the Certificates and of
investments in the Escrow Fund.
The report of the Verification Agent will include the statement that the scope of their engagement
was limited to verifying the mathematical accuracy of the computations contained in such schedules
provided to them and that they have no obligations to update their report because of event occurring, or
data or information coming to their attention,subject to the date of their report.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The District has covenanted for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the Certificates(a)
to provide certain financial information and operating data(the "Annual Report")relating to the District
and the property in the District not later than eight(8)months after the end of the District's Fiscal Year
(which currently would be March 1), commencing with the report for the 2006.07 Fiscal Year,and(b)to
provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events, if material. The Annual Report will be
filed by the Trustee on behalf of the District, with each Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities
Information Repository and with each State Repository, if any. The notices of material events will be
filed by the Trustee on behalf of the District with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and with
each State Repository,if any. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the Annual Report
or the notices of material events is set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement. See"APPENDIX E
—FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT." These covenants have been made in order
to assist the Initial Purchaser in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12(b)(5)(the"Rule"). The District has
not failed to comply in all material respects with any previous undertaking with respect to the Rule to
provide annual reports or notices of material events.

Water Supply
Maintaining the County's water supply is the responsibility of the Orange County Water District
("OCWIY), manager of the County's groundwater basin, and the Municipal Water District of Orange
County("MWDOC"), the County's largest manager of imported water. More than 60% of the County's
water is from local groundwater sources;the rest is imported.The County's natural underground reservoir
is sufficient to carry it through temporary shortfall periods, but local supplies alone cannot sustain the
present population.
Recreation and Tourism
The County is a tourist center in Southern California because of the broad spectrum of
amusement parks and leisure, recreational and entertainment activities that it offers. These tourist
attractions are complimented by the year-round mild climate.
Along the County's Pacific Coast shoreline are five state beaches and parks, five municipal
beaches and five County beaches. There are two small-craft docking facilities in Newport Harbor, a third
located at Sunset Beach and a fourth at Dena Point.
Other major recreational and amusement facilities include Disneyland, Disney's California
Adventure,Knott's Beny Farm and the Spanish Mission of San Juan Capistrano. Also located within the
County are the Anaheim Convention Center, Edison International Field of Anaheim, Honda Center,
Orange County Performing Arts Center, Verizon Wireless Amphitheater and the Art Colony at Laguna
Beach with its annual art festival.
The Anaheim Convention Center is located adjacent to Disneyland. It is situated on 53 acres and

Transportation
The County is situated in the most heavily populated area in California and has access to
excellent roads, rail, air and sea transportation. The Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) provides direct
access to downtown Los Angeles and connects with the San Diego Freeway(Interstate 405) southeast of
the City of Santa Ana,providing a direct link with San Diego. The Garden Grove Freeway(State 22)and
the Riverside Freeway(State 91)provide east-west transportation, linking the San Diego Freeway, Santa
Ana Freeway and the Newport Freeway (State 55). The Newport Freeway provides access to certain
beach communities.
Drivers in the County have access to two toll road systems of the Transportation Corridor
Agencies. The San Joaquin Toll Road (73) runs from Costa Mesa to San Juan Capistrano connecting to
the 405 and 5 interstate freeways. The Eastern and Foothill Toll Roads (241, 261 and 133) connect the
County to the 91 freeway in the north and the 5 freeway,City of Irvine other South County cities,as well
m Laguna Canyon Road. The Transportation Corridor Agencies are planning to extend 241 to connect to
the 5 freeway near San Clemente.
Rail freight service is provided by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. Amtrak provides passenger service to San Diego to the south, Riverside and
San Bernardino Counties to the east, and Los Angeles and Santa Barbara to the north. Metro Link
provides passenger service to San Bernardino and Riverside counties to the east,the City of Oceanside to
the south and Los Angeles County to the north. Bus service is provided by Greyhound Bus Lines. The
Orange County Transportation Authority provides btu service between most cities in the County. Most
interstate common carver truck lines operating in California serve the County.
The John Wayne Airport, owned and operated by the County, is the only commercial service
OHS WM260]Wl8.4
41758-11 WH/MKH B-8
u
airport in the County. It is approximately thirty-five miles south of Los Angeles, between the cities of
Coast Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach and Santa Ana. Major airlines, including Alaska, Aloha, America
West, American, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Northwest, Southwest and United fly from the airport to
major cities throughout the country. In 2004,approximately 9.2 million passengers were served.
In 1993, the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission directed the closure of Marine
Corps Air Station (MCAS) El Toro ("El Toro" or "the base") effective July 1999. The County was
designated the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for development of a Community Reuse Plan to
guide future development of the former MCAS El Toro. In 1994, Orange County voters narrowly
approved Measure A which coned the property for use as an international airport. This touched off a
multi year legal and political battle that ended when 58%of Orange County voters approved Measure W,
the Orange County Central Park and Nature Preserve Initiative, on March 5, 2002. Measure W repeals
Measure A and amends the County General Plan to prohibit aviation uses and limit future development
for the unincorporated portion of El Toro to park, open space, nature preserve and education and
compatible uses. The day after Measure W was approved, the Department of the Navy issued a press
release stating that disposal of the former Base would be accomplished by means of a public auction. The
City of Wine responded by developing the Great Park Plan for El Toro. The City of Irvine was approved
by the Local Agency formation Commission (LAFCO)to annex to the City the property that comprises
the former MCAS El Toro. In light of the passage of Measure W, the County has discontinued all work
related to the planning or development of a commercial airport at El Toro.
Natural Disasters; Seismic Activity/Fires
Natural disasters, including floods, fires and earthquakes, have been experienced in the County.
Seismic records spanning the past half century and historic records dating from the 1700s through the
early 1900s indicate that the County is a seismically active area.The State Office of Emergency Services
indicates that significant tremors are likely to occur in several fault zones during the next 50 to 100 years,
including a tremor of 7.0 on the Richter scale within the Newport-Inglewood fault system. The chance of
a Richter 7.0 earthquake occurring is estimated to be 1 to 2% in any year. For this reason, local building
codes require that structures be designed to withstand the expected accelerations for the area without
collapsing or suffering severe structural damage.
Maps published by the State Department of Conservation indicate that portions of the County
may be subject to the risk of earthquake-induced landslides or liquefaction.

APPENDIX D
BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM
The description that follows of the procedures and recordbisping with respect to beneficial
ownership interests in the Certificates, payment of principal of and interest on the Cerfcates to
Participants or Beinficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the
Certificates,and other Cert fcmes-related transactions by and between DTC Participants and Beneficial
Owners, is based on information furnished by DTC which the District and the Corporation each believes
to be reliable, but the District and the Corporation take no responsibility for the completeness or
accuracy thereof.
The Depository Trust Company—Book-Entry Only System
The Depository Trust Company("DTC"),New York NY,will act as securities depository for the
securities(the"Certificates").The Certificates will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the
time of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC.One fully-registered Certificate will be issued for the Certificates in the
aggregate principal amount of such issue,and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC,the"rid's largest depository,is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New
York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a
member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clewing corporation" within the meaning of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code,and a"clewing agency"registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 21 million
issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instrument
from over 100 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also
facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in
deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct
Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in bum, is owned by a number of Direct
Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income
Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, FICC, and EMCC, also
subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc,,the American Stock Exchange
LLC,and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.Access to the DTC system is also available
to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and
clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,
either directly or indirectly (''Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA.
The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
More information about DTC can be found at wwwAtcc.com and wwwAtc.org. The information on such
websites is not incorporated herein by such reference or otherwise.
Purchases of Certificates under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,
which will receive a credit for the Certificates on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual
purchaser of each Certificate ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect
Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase. Beneficial Owners are,however,expected to receive written confirmations providing details of
the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant
through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the
oxs wm:260194419.4
4175s-11 emavamai D-1
a
Certificates are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting
on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their
ownership interests in the Certificates, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the
Certificates is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Certificates deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Certificates with DTC and their
registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial
ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Certificates; DTC's records
reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Certificates are credited,which
may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible
for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Certificates may wish to take
certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the
Certificates, such as prepayments,tenders,defaults,and proposed amendments to the security documents.
For example, Beneficial Owners of Certificates may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the
Certificates for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners, in the
alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request
that copies of the notices be provided directly to them.
Prepayment notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Certificates within an issue are
being prepaid, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant
in such issue to be prepaid.
Neither DTC nor Cede&Co. (nor such other DTC nominee)will consort or vote with respect to
the Certificates unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its
usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible after the record date.
The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to
whose accounts the Certificates are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the
Omnibus Proxy).
Prepayment proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Certificates will be made to
Cede&Co.,or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's
practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts, upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail
information from the District or the Trustee on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings
shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in
bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of
DTC, nor its nominee,the Trustee, or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time. Payment of prepayment proceeds, distributions, and dividend
payments to Cede&Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC) is the responsibility of the District or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct
Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial
Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
OHS We[260184418.4
4175&11 nravmxH D-2
y
A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Certificates purchased or tendered,
through its Participant,to the Tender or Remarketing Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Certificates
by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Certificates, on DTC's
records, to the Tender or Remarketing Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Certificates in
connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership
rights in the Certificates are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records and followed by a book-
entry credit of tendered Certificates to the Tender or Remarketing Agent's DTC account.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the
Certificates at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Trustee. Under such
circumstances,in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained,Certificates are required
to be printed and delivered.
The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Certificates will be printed and delivered to
DTC.
The information in this section conceming DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained
from sources that the District believes to be reliable, but the District takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.
Discontinuance of DTC Services
In the event(it DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Certificates,
(ii) DTC shall no longer act and give notice to the Trustee of such determination or (iii) the District
determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Certificates
and delivers a written certificate to the Trustee to that effect, DTC services will be discontinued. If the
District determines to replace DTC with another qualified securities depository,the District shall prepare
or direct the preparation of a new single, separate,fully registered Certificate for each of the maturities of
the Certificates,registered in the name of such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its
nominee. If the District fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace DTC then the
Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the certificate registration books in the
time of Cede&Co., but shall be registered in such names as are requested in a certificate of the District,
in accordance with the Trust Agreement.
All Certificates may be presented for transfer by the Owner thereof, in person or by his attorney
duly authorized in writing, at the Principal Office of the Trustee,on the books required to be kept by the
Trustee pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Indenture, upon surrender of such Certifications for
cancellation accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of transfer in a form
acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee may treat the Owner of any Certificate as the absolute owner of
such Certificate for all purposes, whether or not such Certificate shall be overdue, and the Trustee shall
not be affected by any knowledge or notice to the contrary; and payment of the interest and principal
evidenced by such Cerlificate shall be made only to such Owner, which payments shall be valid and
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability evidenced by such Certificate to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
Whenever any Certificates shall be surrendered for transfer,the Trustee shall execute and deliver
new Certificates representing the same principal amount in Authorized Denominations. The Trustee shall
require the payment of any Owner requesting such transfer of any tax or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to such transfer. Certificates may be presented for exchange at the
Principal Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Certificates of other Authorized
OmS Wesr260184418.4

Denominations. The Trustee shall require the payment by the Owner requesting such exchange of any tax
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange. The Trustee shall not be
required to transfer or exchange any Certificate during the period in which the Trustee is selecting
Certificates for prepayment, nor shall the Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Certificate or
portion thereof selected for prepayment from and after the date of mailing the notice of prepayment
thereof.

We have acted as special counsel to the Orange County Sanitation District (the "District') in
connection with the execution and delivery of Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates
of Participation, Series 2007A evidencing principal in the aggregate amount of $
(collectively, the "Certificates"). In such connection, we have reviewed the Master Agreement for
District Obligations, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the "Master Agreement'), by and between the District
and the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation (the "Corporation"), the Installment
Purchase Agreement,dated as of_ 1, 2007(the"Installment Purchase Agreement"),by and between

of counsel to the District, the Corporation, the Trustee and others, certificates of the District, the
Corporation, the Trustee and others, and such other documents, opinions and matters to the extent we
deemed necessary to render the opinions set forth herein. Capitaliud terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Installment Purchase Agreement.
The opinions expressed herein are based on an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and
court decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities. Such opinions may
be affected by actions taken or omitted or events occurring after the date hereof. We have not undertaken
to determine,or to inform any person,whether any such actions are taken or omitted or events do occur or
any other matters come to our attention after the date hereof. Our engagement with respect to the
Certificates has concluded with their execution and delivery, and we disclaim any obligation to update
this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all documents and signatures presented to us(whether as
originals or as copies)and the due and legal execution and delivery thereof by, and validity against, any
parties other than the District. We have assumed, without undertaking to verify, the accuracy of the
factual matters represented, warranted or certified in the documents, referred to in the first paragraph
hereof. Furthermore, we have assumed compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in the
Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Tax Certificate,
including (without limitation) covenants and agreements compliance with which is necessary to assure
that future actions, omissions or events will not cause interest on the Installment Payments evidenced by
the Certificates to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

SUBJECT: RATIFICATION OF CLARIFIER F INFLUENT PIPE EMERGENCY
REPAIR, JOB NO. FE06-14
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Ratify use of General Manager's emergency purchasing authority, Resolution
No. OCSD 07-04, authorizing the General Manager to issue Purchase Order
No. 60138-OS to Sancon Engineering, Inc. for Clarifier F Influent Pipe Emergency
Repair, Job No. FE06-15, for a total amount not to exceed $124,800; and
2. Approve a contingency of 40% ($50,000)
SUMMARY
• The pipeline that brings raw sewage into Primary Clarifier F at Plant No. 2 has
developed a leak and has been taken out of service.
• An inspection confirmed that this unit is damaged and must be repaired. The repair
consists of installing about 250 feet of plastic liner inside of the old pipe.
• Operation of Primary Clarifier F is required in order to maintain water quality during
several facility outages associated with major capital improvement projects at Plant
No. 2, scheduled to begin in August 2007.
• The District's normal procurement procedures would result in an October or
November completion, threatening our ability to provide acceptable effluent quality
and causing potential delays to major construction projects at Plant No. 2.
• Additionally, Primary Clarifier P is undergoing emergency repairs due to corrosion,
leaving Plant No. 2 with no spare primary clarifier capacity should there be an
equipment problem with one of the other 12 primary clarifiers.
• Based on these risks, staff recommended that emergency purchasing procedures be
used to repair the leaking pipe.

• Staff obtained bids from two contractors: Sancon Engineering, Inc. and Insituform,
Inc. The bids were $124,800 and $164,850, respectively.
• An unusually large contingency is being requested because additional repairs may
be required, as there is not adequate time for a detailed investigation of the entire
system. The contingency would only be used if serious problems are identified that
need to be repaired immediately.

SUBJECT: PROPOSED ADOPTION OF WASTEWATER DISCHARGE
REGULATIONS, ORDINANCE NO. OCSD-31
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Ordinance No. OCSD-31, An Ordinance of the Board of Directors of Orange County
Sanitation District adopting Wastewater Discharge Regulations, Ordinance
No. OCSD-31, and repealing Ordinance No. OCSD-01:
a. Motion to read Ordinance No. OCSD-31 by title only and waive reading of said
entire ordinance.
b. Motion to introduce Ordinance No. OCSD-31, and pass to second reading and
public hearing on May 23, 2007.
SUMMARY
• The Source Control Division makes periodic changes in work processes and
business rules which necessitate updates to the Wastewater Discharge Regulations
which were last adopted effective July 1, 1998. The proposed revisions to the
Wastewater Discharge Regulations are administrative in nature. The administrative
updates include modification of definitions, deletion of unnecessary sections, and
addition of language to clarify the intent of the Wastewater Discharge Regulations
Ordinance and to include a new section on Urban Runoff.
• Notices of staffs intent to adopt a new Wastewater Discharge Ordinance were
mailed to all Source Control's Permittees in Pretreatment, Wastehauler, Urban
Runoff, and Special Purpose Discharge Programs. The letter was issued on
January 26, 2007.
Written responses were requested by February 14, 2007. Only one written
response was submitted to OCSD.
Based on receiving one written response, it is Source Control's expectation that the
planned adoption of Ordinance OCSD-31 will meet with little opposition and have
very little impact. The proposed changes are primarily administrative in nature and
bring the Wastewater Discharge Regulations up to date with current work practices.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OCSD's Source Control Division is responsible for administering and enforcing the
District's Ordinance and National Pretreatment Program through an extensive
permitting, monitoring and enforcement program to regulate the discharge into local
sewers of pollutants from industrial facilities as well as commercial and residential
communities.
The National Pretreatment Program is derived from the federal Clean Water Act of
1972. The program was established to regulate the introduction of pollutants into the
sewer system from industrial sources. Discharges targeted for regulation include those
that will interfere with a treatment facility operation, that may pass through the treatment
works and cause environmental harm, or that are otherwise incompatible with such
works. The program is also intended to improve opportunities to reclaim municipal
wastewater and biosolids.
Recognizing the need to control the quality of wastewater discharges, the Board of
Directors adopted the first Ordinance in February 1954, which was amended in
February 1958, and again in April 1970. The 1970 amendments formally established
the District's source control program for the purpose of issuing permits, setting
discharge limits, and monitoring industrial discharges to the sewer system. In July 1976,
the Ordinance was expanded to include numerical discharge limits for heavy metals.
In July 1983, the Ordinance was again amended to include enforcement of EPA's newly
promulgated categorical pretreatment regulations and to modify the District's local limits
for cadmium, copper, and toxic organics at the levels currently enforced. In September
1989, the Ordinance was further amended to include revisions to the federal
pretreatment standards and other provisions for implementation of a waste minimization
program and escalated enforcement proceedings.
In February 1992, the Ordinance was revised to incorporate new federal and state
regulatory mandates for the administrative and civil penalties. In July 1998, the
Ordinance was again amended to include the newly adopted policy pertaining to fees
and charges for the use of the District's sewer system.

Directors of the Predecessor Districts, pursuant to specific legislation enacted by the
California State Legislature in 1996, an application was submitted to the Orange
County Local Agency Formation Commission to legally consolidate the nine
Predecessor Districts into one single Sanitation District for all purposes. The
application was approved,with an effective date of July 1 1998. As of July 1. 1998
the Predecessor Districts ceased to exist, and one single consolidated County

ARTICLE 1
GENERAL PROVISIONS
101. PURPOSE AND POLICY
A. This ordinance sets uniform requirements for Users of OCSD's facilities
and enables OCSD to comply with all applicable State and Federal laws,
including the Clean Water Act(33 United States Code fU.S.C.I section
1251 et seq.) and the General Pretreatment Regulations (Title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations ICFRI Part 403). This Ordinance shall be
interpreted in accordance with the definitions set forth in Section 102. The
provisions of the Ordinance shall apply to the direct or indirect discharge
of all liquid wastes carried to facilities of the OCSD.
A_The purpose of this Ordinance is to provide for the maximum public
benefit from the use of OCSD BistricX facilities. This shall be
accomplished by regulating sewer use and wastewater discharges, by
providing equitable distribution of costs. in compliance with applicable
Federal, State and local Regulations, and by supporting the proper
disposal of Prescription Drugs as noted in the guidelines published by the
Office of National Drug Control Policy.,
. The revenues to be derived from the
application of this Ordinance shall be used to defray all costs of providing
sewerage service by the OCSD DistFiGE, including, but not limited to,
administration, operation, monitoring, maintenance, financing, capital
construction, replacement and recovery, and provisions for necessary
reserves;
B. This ordinance is meant to protect both OCSD personnel who may be
affected by wastewater, sludge, and biosolids in the course of their
employment and the general public:
C. To comply with Federal, State, and local-policies and to allow the
DistristOCSD to meet applicable standards of treatment plant effluent
quality, biasGlidbiosolids skrdge quality, and air quality, provisions are
made in this Ordinance for the regulation of wastewater discharges to the
public sewer. This Ordinance establishes quantity and quality limits on all
wastewater discharges which may adversely affect the BistAstOCSD's
sewerage systems, processes, effluent quality, biosolids sludge quality, air
emission characteristics, or inhibit the Diats OCSD's ability to beneficially
+orc i..aid m Wu,cm m stem imenim rasp is d 01 M%0,fta fl
Page 4 of 91
reuse or dispose of its treated wastewater. biosolids sludge or meet
biosolids skidge discharge criteria.
It is the intent of these limits to improve the quality of wastewater being
received for treatment and to encourage water conservation and waste
minimization by all users connected to a public sewer. It is the
DistFi OCSD's intent to limit future increases in the quantity (mass
emission) of waste constituents being discharged. This Ordinance also
provides for regulation of the degree of waste pretreatment required, the
issuance of permits for wastewater discharge and connections and other
miscellaneous permits, and establishes penalties for violation of the
Ordinance.
D. Since the DistristOCSD is committed to a policy of wastewater reclamation
and reuse in order to provide an alternate source of water supply, the
implementation of programs for reclamation through secondary and
tertiary wastewater treatment processes may necessitate more stringent
quality requirements on wastewater discharges. In the event that more
stringent quality requirements are necessary, the Ordinance will be
amended to reflect those changes.
E. Since the DistciG OCSD is committed to a policy for the beneficial use of
biosolids sludge, the implementation of programs to land-apply or provide
for the marketing and distribution of biosolids sludge may necessitate
more stringent quality requirements on wastewater discharges.
F. Since the DistrastOCSD is also committed to meet applicable air quality
goals established by the South Coast Air Quality Management
DistristOCSD, more stringent quality requirements on wastewater
discharges may be required to meet such goals.
102. DEFINITIONS
A. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms related to water quality shall be as
adopted in the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of
Water and Wastewater, published by the American Public Health
Association, the American Water Works Association and the Water

At least 45 days prior to the expiration of the permit, the user shall apply for
renewal of the permit in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3.
302.6 Class I Permit Charge for Use
A. The purpose of a charge for use is to ensure that each recipient of
sewerage service from the DistristOCSD pays its reasonably proportionate
share of all the costs of providing that sewerage service. Charges for use
to recover the cost of conveying, treating, and disposing of sewage in
8istrisl )CSD facilities are exclusive of any fees levied by local sewering
agencies. The charge for use shall be based on the total maintenance,
operation, capital expenditures, and reserve requirements for providing
wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal.
B. A discharger who is issued a Class I Wastewater Discharge Permit under
the provisions of this Ordinance shall pay a charge for use in accordance
with the formula contained herein and the unit charge rates adopted
annually by Ordinance of the Board of Directors. These fees shall be
invoiced on a quarterly basis. The quarterly invoice shall be based upon
an estimate of the annual use as determined by the DistrisEOCSD.
Annually, the DistristOCSD shall compute the charge for use based upon
actual use for the preceding 12-month period on an annual reconciliation
statement.
The charge for use is payable within forty-five (45) days of invoicing by the
PistcisF- -.SD. A credit to the permittee will be allowed against this permit
charge for use, equal to the annual ad valorem tax basic levy allocated to
the i3i&G 0CSD for the property for which a permit has been issued by
the DistristOCSD. A credit will also be allowed for any sanitary sewer
service charge adopted by the Board of Directors by separate Ordinance
and levied against the permitted property.
C. Current property tax bills shall be supplied by the permittee to the
9istHstOCSD by May 31 of each year for use in determining the ad
valorem tax credit and/or the sanitary sewer service credit. If the tax bills

Page 37 of 91
are not supplied, the 8istrint0CSD will endeavor to obtain the data. Data
obtained by the DistriG OCSD will be considered correct and will not be
adjusted before the next annual reconciliation statement. There shall be a
fee levied for DistFl QCSD administrative costs when ad valorem property
tax or sanitary sewer service charge data are obtained by the
DistrietOCSD. The amount of the fee shall be adopted by the
1)stricEOCSD's Board of Directors.
D. In order for the DistristOCSD to determine actual annual water use, the
user shall provide to the PistriGEOCSD copies of its water bills. If these
water bill copies are not received by July 31 of each year for the 12-month
period ended closest to June 30, the BistristOCSD will endeavor to obtain
the water use data. Data obtained by the Diet4vtOCSD will be considered
correct and will not be adjusted before the next annual reconciliation
statement. There shall be a fee levied for DietdotOCSD administrative
costs when the DistcietOCSD obtains water use data. The 9istrietOCSD's
Board of Directors shall adopt the amount of the fee.
E. The charge for use shall be computed by the following formula:
Charge for Use = VaV+ BOB + SOS -Tax Credit
Where V=total annual volume of flow, in millions of gallons
B =total annual discharge of biochemical oxygen demand, in thousands of
pounds
S = total annual discharge of suspended solids, in thousands of pounds
Vo,Bo,So= Unit Charge rates established and adopted by Ordinance of
the DistrigEOCSD's Board of Directors, based upon the funding
requirements of providing sewerage service, in dollars per unit as
described in Paragraph F below:
F. The Unit Charge rates in the charge-for-use formula shall be determined
by the following method:
1. An Operations and Maintenance component of the Unit Charge for
the total annual operation and maintenance funding requirements
of the sewerage system shall be levied at a rate to be determined
from time to time by the Board of Directors. This Charge shall be
allocated among the three wastewater charge parameters of flow,
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids in accordance
with the General Manager's determination as to the costs
associated with each parameter and pursuant to applicable
requirements of State and Federal Regulatory Agencies.
gMD e,ns nnl Seln Hrskaneal salenur,Temnn,ary n wrr) l File9Ox mwrd nl 200e nran Revn r,m _ raew9.¢x
Page 38 of 91
The operation and maintenance costs as distributed to flow,
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids shall be divided
by the projected annual total flow volume and weights of
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids to be treated by
the sewerage system in the budgeted year.
2. A Capital Facilities Replacement Service component of the Unit
Charge for capital replacement and capital improvement shall be
levied at a rate to be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors. This charge shall be allocated among wastewater
charge parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand, and
suspended solids in accordance with the General Manager's
determination of which portion of the charge predominantly relates
to each parameter.
The capital facilities charge distributed to biochemical oxygen
demand, and suspended solids shall be divided by the projected
annual weights of biochemical oxygen demand and suspended
solids to be treated by the sewerage system in the budgeted year.
3. The Unit Charge rates for each respective wastewater component
in (1) and (2) above shall be summed. The Unit Charge rates so
determined will be expressed in dollars per million gallons for V.,
and in dollars per thousand pounds for Bo and So.
G. Other measurements of the organic content of the wastewater of a
discharger, such as COD or TOC, may be used instead of BOD.
However, the discharger must establish to the General Manager's
satisfaction a relationship between the BOO of the wastewater and the
parameter of measure. This relationship shall be used by the
9iskistOCSD in determining the charge for use.
When wastewater from sanitary facilities is discharged separately from the
other wastewater of a discharger, the charge for use for discharging the
sanitary wastewater may be determined by using the following:
1. 25 gallons per employee per eight-hour working day.
2. BOD and suspended solids to be calculated at domestic
wastewater strength per employee per year.
The number of employees will be considered as the average number of
people employed full-time on a daily basis. This may be determined by
averaging the number of people employed at the beginning and end of
each quarter, or other period that reflects normal employment fluctuations.

303.6 Class II Permit Charge for Use
A. The purpose of a charge for use is to ensure that each recipient of
sewerage service from the Distr OCSD pays its reasonably proportionate
share of all the costs of providing that sewerage service. Charges for use
to recover the cost of conveying, treating, and disposing of sewage in
9istrietOCSD sewerage facilities are exclusive of any fees levied by local
sewering agencies. The charge for use shall be based on the total
maintenance, operation, capital expenditures, and reserve requirements
for providing wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal.
B. A discharger who is issued a Class II Wastewater Discharge Permit under
the provisions of this Ordinance shall pay a charge for use in accordance
with the formula contained herein and the Unit Charge rates adopted
annually by Ordinance of the Board of Directors. These fees shall be
invoiced on a quarterly basis. The quarterly invoice shall be based upon
an estimate of the annual use as determined by the 9is44etOCSD.
Annually, the 9is 400CSD shall compute the charge for use based upon
actual use for the preceding 12-month period on an annual reconciliation
statement. The charge for use is payable within forty-five(45) days of
invoicing by the 8istfi OCSD. A credit to the permittee will be allowed
against this permit charge for use, equal to the annual ad valorem tax
basic levy allocated to the 9is1*ietOCSD for the property for which a permit
has been issued by the 9i9trisEOCSD. A credit will also be allowed for any
sanitary sewer service charge adopted by the Board of Directors by
separate Ordinance and levied against the permitted property.
C. Current property tax bills shall be supplied by the permmittee to the
9istr QCSD by May 31 of each year for use in determining the ad
valorem tax credit and/or the sanitary sewer service credit. If the tax bills
are not supplied, the 9istrisEOCSD will endeavor to obtain the data. Data

obtained by the 9lstF OCSD will be considered correct and will not be
adjusted before the next annual reconciliation statement.
There shall be a fee levied for BistricEOCSD administrative costs when ad
valorem property tax or sanitary sewer service charge data is obtained by
the P StFietOCSD. The amount of the fee shall be adopted by the
OWN OCSD's Board of Directors.
D. In order for the DistrisEOCSD to determine actual annual water use, the
user shall provide to the BistriefOCSD copies of its water bills. If these
water bill copies are not received by July 31 of each year for the 12-month
period ended closest to June 30, the 9istcieEOCSD will endeavor to obtain
the water use data. Data obtained by the 9istrietOCSD will be considered
correct and will not be adjusted before the next annual reconciliation
statement.
There shall be a fee levied for 9WFiG1OCSD administrative costs when
water use data is obtained by the QWFietOCSD. The amount of the fee
shall be adopted by the D!sWdOCSD's Board of Directors.
E. The charge for use shall be computed by the following formula:
Charge for Use = VoV+ BB + S,S-Tax Credit
Where V = total annual volume of flow, in millions of gallons
B = total annual discharge of biochemical oxygen demand, in thousands of
pounds
S = total annual discharge of suspended solids, in thousands of pounds
Vo,B.,So = Unit Charge rates adopted annually by Ordinance of the
9istriotOCSD's Board of Directors, based upon the funding requirements
of providing sewerage service, in dollars per unit as described in
Paragraph F below.
F. The unit charge rates in the charge for use formula shall be established
annually and shall be determined by the following method:
1. An Operations and Maintenance component of the Unit Charge for
the total annual operation and maintenance funding requirements
of the sewerage system shall be levied at a rate to be determined
from time to time by the Board of Directors. This charge shall be
allocated among the three wastewater charge parameters of flow,
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids in accordance
with the General Manager's determination as to the costs
C'\Dam and S% varsk LLrv'n 3at'ruarTrm u F'e,,\nLKITP.l of 2001,frrar Rnv,t
Page 45 of 91
associated with each parameter and pursuant to applicable
requirements of State and Federal Regulatory Agencies.
The operation and maintenance costs as distributed to flow,
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids shall be divided
by the projected annual total flow volume and weights of
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids to be treated by
the sewerage system in the budgeted year.
2. A Capital Facilities Replacement component of the Unit Charge for
capital replacement and capital improvement shall be levied at a
rate to be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.
This charge shall be allocated among the three wastewater charge
parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended
solids in accordance with the General Managers determination of
which portion of the charge predominantly relates to each
parameter.
The capital facilities charge distributed to biochemical oxygen
demand and suspended solids shall be divided by the projected
annual weights of biochemical oxygen demand and suspended
solids to be treated by the sewerage system in the budgeted year.
3. The unit charge rates for each respective wastewater component in
(1) and (2) above shall be summed. The Unit Charge rates so
determined will be expressed in dollars per million gallons for Vo,
and in dollars per thousand pounds for Bo and S..
G. Other measurements of the organic content of the wastewater of a
discharger, such as COD or TOC, may be used instead of BOD.
However, the discharger must establish to the General Managers
satisfaction a relationship between the BOD of the wastewater and the
other parameter of measure. This relationship shall be used by the
9istFi OCSD in determining the charge for use. When wastewater from
sanitary facilities is discharged separately from the other wastewater of a
discharger, the charge for use for discharging the sanitary wastewater
may be determined by using the following:
1. 25 gallons per employee per eight-hour working day.
2. BOO and suspended solids to be calculated at domestic
wastewater strength per employee per year.
The number of employees will be considered as the average
number of people employed full-time on a daily basis. This may be
determined by averaging the number of people employed at the

the sampling and analysis in lieu of the industrial user. If the OCSD
performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the industrial user, the
OCSD will perform the repeat sampling and analysis unless it notifies the
user of the violation and requires the user to perform the repeat sampling
and analysis.
Failure by the user to perform any required monitoring, or to submit
monitoring reports required by the DistrisEOCSD constitutes a violation of
this Ordinance, may result in determining whether the permittee is in
significant non-compliance, and be cause for the DisiricEOCSD to initiate
all necessary tasks and analyses to determine the wastewater
constituents and characteristics for compliance with any limits and

manner, and frequency determined at the sole discretion of the
QWACtOCSD.
2. Noncompliance with mass emission rate limits, concentration
limits, permit discharge conditions, or any discharge provision of
this Ordinance may be determined by an analysis of a grab or
composite sample of the effluent of a user. Non-compliance with
mass emission rate limits shall be determined by an analysis of a
composite sample of the user's effluent, except that a grab sample
may be used to determine compliance with mass emission rate
limits when the discharge is from a closed (batch) treatment system
in which there is no wastewater flow into the system when the
discharge is occurring, the volume of wastewater contained in the
batch system is known, the time interval of discharge is known, and
the grab sample is homogeneous and representative of the
discharge.

SUMMARY
The net effect of adopting the attached rate ordinance will be to increase the single
family residential rate, the basis for all sewer service charges, 9.8 percent, or from
$165.80 to $182.00, effective July 1, 2007.
Historically, the District has increased our overall sewer user fees in fairly small annual
increments, using some debt financing to smooth the impact of the capital improvement
program. With the public interest in improved effluent quality and the Board's decision
to meet secondary treatment discharge standards rapidly, it is appropriate to evaluate
larger rate increases on the front-end of the capital improvement program in order to
match the requirements of the program itself and to reduce the long-term rate impacts
of additional future debt financing and interest costs.
The Directors adopted a plan in 2003 that included debt financing for $1.4 billion of the
$2.8 billion capital improvement and rehabilitation, refurbishment and replacement
program. By authorizing this amount of borrowing, the Directors were able to limit
projected annual sewer user fee increases to approximately 15% (approximately $18
per year) each year through 2007-08. The Board agreed with this plan and asked that
the proposed fee increases be considered annually by the Board for implementation.
2007-08 will be the fifth year of this 5-year plan.
Staff has re-evaluated every project in the Validated Capital Improvement Program and
many newly proposed projects as a part of the 2006-07 and 2007-08 budget preparation
process. Approximately $474 million of budgeted construction costs will be delayed or
deferred. In addition, the Sanitation District contracted with Carollo Engineers to
complete a Revenue Program and Rate Analysis study. The result of these efforts was
to reduce projected 2006-07 and 2007-08 single family residential rate (SFR) increases,
the basis for all sewer service charges, from 20.0% to 9.8%.
Included in staffs recommendation on "Adopting Revised Table B re Property Use
Classifications for Commercial or Industrial Users" is new proposed use codes for the
U.S. Post Office and Open Air Entertainment Venues. These use codes are necessary
in order for the District to accurately bill these unique property uses, as further detailed
on the attached Staff Report of March 14, 2007.
One other proposed change of note pertains to refunding capital facilities capacity
charges. The existing ordinance does not allow any refunds of capital facilities capacity
charges because of non-use or change of use, or any other reason. Staff is proposing
to allow for a capital facilities capacity charge refund for those instances where a
connection has not made, and the request for connection is withdrawn within 12 months
of the payment date. These capital facilities capacity charges will be refunded upon
establishing proof from the City or County of a canceled permit. This revised refund
policy will match most public agency refund policies pertaining to building permits.
Without a Board action (by 2/3 majority), the SFR rate for 2007-08 will remain at
$165.80 per year. The $182 rate recommended for 2007-08 will generate
approximately $183.5 million of user fees; an annual increase of$17.0 million over the
prior year.
There are no extraordinary costs associated with the recommendation.

Rate Increase Chronology
June 2003
1) 1n June 2003, the Board approved a revised Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
2) To support this CIP, staff recommended a five-year plan which included rate
increases averaging 20%.
3) The Board directed staff to issue a Proposition 218 public notice stating the rates
would increase by an amount not to exceed a total of 20% annually increase over
the next five year period.
4) While the increases were tentatively approved and noticed, the Board chose not to
implement the full 20% increase for 2003/04.
5) The Board did discussed alternatives between 10-20%.
6) Ultimately, the Board acted to implement a 15% increase in 2003/04.
7) Staff reset the budget and long-term cash flow model to reflect the annual increases
of 15% for the subsequent five-year period.
8) Board policy stated that 50% of all future capital improvements (approximate
percentage of non-capacity related projects), would be funded from current revenues
and the remaining 50% through debt financing. However, reducing the projected
annual rate increases to 15% required as deviation from that policy in order to
support the capital program. As of July 2003, the ratio of CIP funded debt increased
to 62 percent. By July 2005, this ratio decreased to 58 percent. The debt fiscal
policy has subsequently been changed to provide additional flexibility when
addressing this District's capital program and debt issuances.
9) While the five-year plan was still in place, the Board directed staff that to bring back
the rate schedule for annual adoption.
June 2004
1. Through the adoption of the 2004/05 Budget, the Board acted to implement a portion
of the 20% rate increase included in the five-year plan.
2. The Board acted to implement a 15% rate increase for 2004/05.
June 2005
1. The CIP increased by $400M, from $1.94B to 2.38B.
XWW.! Mda�dPMm RBpv1 7BSEPgantla 16 O,l I—]2dz
ReAsad. osu„w Page 3
V
2. Additionally, Operations costs increased by $400M, from $1.313 to $1.713.
3. To support these increased costs, rates needed to be increased above 15%.
4. The Board approved a 31% rate increase for 2005-06, instead of 15%.
5. The additional increase was based on only 15% increases in each of the previous
two years.
6. Both the 2005-06 Adopted Budget and the existing ordinance include 20% rate
increases for 06-07 and 07-08.
7. Proposition 218 notices were issued based on the 20% figure.
8. As the Board must act to implement any rate increase, it reserves the option to
approve any rate increase, under the existing Proposition 218 notice, that does not
exceed 20% in fiscal year 2006-07, or 40% over the next two years.
June 2006
1. The CIP decreased by $549M, from $2.38B to $1.83B as budgeted construction
costs were delayed or deferred.
2. The Sanitation District contracted with Carollo Engineers to complete a Revenue
Program and Rate Analysis study. The result of these efforts reduced projected
2006-07 and 2007-08 single-family residential rate (SFR) increases, the basis for all
sewer service charges, from 20.0% to 9.8%.
3. The Carollo rate model developed proposed revised capital facility capacity charges
(CFCC) that increases the benchmark 3-bedroom, SFR from $2,890 to $4,360, or
50.9 percent, and the average demand for commercial industrial from $1,050 to
$1,306, or 24.4 percent.
4. The previous CFCC rates have not been increased over the last two-and-one-half
years. It has generally been the practice of the Sanitation District not to update
CFCC rates until the completion of an Interim Strategic Plan Update, which generally
occurs only once in approximately five years. With the implementation of this new
rate ordinance, staff recommended that these fees be adjusted annually, based on a
commonly accepted price indicator, the Engineering News Record Construction Cost
Index for Los Angeles, to reflect the current value of the facilities or the current cost
of capital projects.

STAFF REPORT
Proposed Non-Residential Sewer Service Fee Billing Method Adjustments
Annually, the District considers the need to adjust sewer service fee rates to its
residential, commercial, and industrial customers to ensure that the appropriate fees are
captured to cover its costs, and that the fees are set proportionate to the service
received. This process is completed through the update of the District's rate ordinance
that becomes effective 30 days following Board adoption. The adoption process
requires a reading at two separate board meetings and a public hearing. Staff is
targeting the April board meeting for the first reading of the newly proposed ordinance
with a tentative 9.8 percent increase in all rates. In addition, staff will be requesting a
new U. S. Post Office user fee rate and an Entertainment Venue—Open Air Facilities
rate, based on attendance, to ensure that these customers are paying their fair share.
Background
The major revenue source of the Sanitation District is the sewer service fee that is
assessed on each improved parcel within the District's service area through the
property tax bill of the County of Orange (County), and then subsequently collected and
remitted by the County to the District. The sewer service fee covers the District's cost of
collection, treatment and disposal of all wastewater received from the individual parcels.
The fees are established by ordinance of the District Board and vary according to the
use of the parcel and the level of service that is required.
The Sanitation District service area includes over 550,000 parcels, approximately
526,500 of which indicate improvements and are included in the District's sewer service
fee program. Of these 526,500 improved parcels, approximately 477,500 parcels are
single or mufti-family residential parcels. The remaining 49,000 parcels consist of
commercial, industrial, and governmental classifications, and have the most potential for
reclassification and additional revenue. The single-family residents (SFR) are assessed
a flat rate fee, the multi-family residents are charged a flat rate fee on a per unit basis,
and commercial, industrial, and governmental parcels are assessed a fee per 1,000
square foot of building improvements based on their individual property user fee code.

Sewer Service Fee Billing Methods
March 14, 2007
Page 2 of 3
Commercial user fees generate approximately $70 million each year. These properties
are billed a rate per thousand square feet which corresponds to the specific use code of
their property. The use code and square footage have been obtained through the
Orange County Assessor Office Data Center, a main frame program, updated every 12
months. In October of 2003, the Revenue Division moved this database in-house and
designed a program specific for our use. As a result, we have more flexibility and total
control over how the database is used. For example, when construction or demolition
takes place, we can ensure square footage changes are effective immediately. Our
foremost concern is the accuracy of the use code and square footage information that
we use to calculate the fees for our customers.
During the course of the past fiscal year, staff has evaluated the use codes and billing
methods that are currently in our ordinance and have established two areas for
improvement or modification. This report outlines those areas and then a
recommended solution for billing purposes.
United States Post Offices
Currently, there is no U.S. Past Office use code in the Sanitation District's sewer service
fee ordinance and the District has no way of accurately billing parcels that contain only
U.S. Post Offices. U.S. Post Offices are currently placed in the Governmental Use
category (118) and the rate is 82 percent of the SFR rate, or$135.96 per 1,000 square
feet. Based upon actual water consumption received from the U. S. Post Office on
several post offices in our service area, the Governmental Use category may result in
overcharges up to 300 percent. At the request of the U. S. Post Office, staff evaluated
the current use code for U.S. Post Offices and determined that in order to accurately bill
these parcels for their wastewater discharge, a separate use code for U.S. Post Offices
should be established. Staff has obtained the flow, chemical oxygen demand (COD),
and suspended solids (SS) assumptions used by the County Sanitation Districts of Los
Angeles County (CSDLAC) within their sewer service fee program and converted their
load measurement of COD to the District's load measurement of bio-chemical oxygen
demand (BOD).
Based on the proportion of flow, BOD, and SS concentrations for U.S. Post Offices used
by CSDLAC to the District's flow, BOD, and SS concentrations for single-family
residences (SFR), staff is recommending a new use code, U.S. Post Office (225), which
will charge 35 percent of the SFR rate per 1,000 square feet. This rate would have
been $58.03 per 1,000 square feet for FY 2006-07 compared to $135.96 per 1,000
square feet for the Governmental Use Code (118).
Sewer Service Fee Billing Methods
r March 14, 2007
Page 3 of 3
Entertainment Venues-Open Air Facilities
Our current ordinance bills entertainment venues such as Knott's Berry Farm, Angel
Stadium of Anaheim, Honda Center (formerly the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim), Los
Alamitos Race Course, Anaheim Convention Center and Soak City USA based upon
the square footage of improvements that are currently listed by the assessor's office on
their secured property tax bill. Disneyland and California Adventure are currently on
Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permits that require the District to obtain flow data and
perform annual reconciliations. A subset of entertainment venues are open-air facilities.
Because open-air facilities such as Angel Stadium of Anaheim and the Los Alamitos
Race Course have minimal square footages listed by the assessor's office, the current
billing methodology does not accurately charge these venues for the wastewater that
they are discharging. Based on a study performed by Carollo Engineers, a more fair
and equitable billing methodology would be attendance rate based because of the large
number of visitors that attend these venues throughout the year resulting in an
abundance of wastewater discharged into the system. Angel Stadium of Anaheim is an
excellent example. The assessor's office lists 46,575 square feet and their sewer
service fee is only $11,199.87. The square footage captured on the property tax bill
does not fully capture the amount of wastewater being discharged because the square
footage is only for enclosed facilities. Staff has reviewed the entertainment venues and
the information that we have regarding their discharge and sewer service fees. We are
recommending that we charge open-air facilities based upon their attendance on an
annual basis. The facilities would provide their annual attendance for the prior year and
we would bill them 15gpd per attendee and place the fee on their annual secured
property tax bill. This billing method provides a more accurate fee for the actual
discharge into the system. The open-air facilities would pay a rate per MG based upon
the related flow, bod and tss charge for single family residences.

RECITAL OF FINDINGS
Section 1.01. Findings — Declaration of Intent. The Board of
Directors of District has previously adopted Master Plans, as more particularly
described in Findings B, C, D, and E below, setting forth the financial and
engineering needs of the District, and hereby adopts the following Findings
supporting the amounts of charges and fees adopted pursuant to this Ordinance.
WSBS-5RH:pi:201660:04a0105 3
OCSO-ADS4125/O]
A. That the former County Sanitation Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, ;
13 and 14 of Orange County, California (the "Predecessor Districts"), were nine
individual County Sanitation Districts, organized pursuant to the County
Sanitation District Act (California Health & Safety Code Section 4700 at seq.). By
action of the Board of Directors of the Predecessor Districts, pursuant to specific
legislation enacted by the California State Legislature in 1996, an application was
submitted to the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission to legally
consolidate the nine Predecessor Districts into one single Sanitation District for
all purposes. The application was approved, with an effective date of July 1,
1998. As of July 1, 1998, the Predecessor Districts ceased to exist, and one
single consolidated County Sanitation District, known as the Orange County
Sanitation District, came into existence in place of the Predecessor Districts. The
District was formed to carry on the functions of the Predecessor Districts.
B. That a comprehensive 30-year Master Plan of Capital
Facilities, entitled "Collection, Treatment and Disposal Facilities Master Plan —
1989", hereinafter referred to as the "Master Plan", which includes detailed
financial and engineering reports, was prepared, approved, and adopted by the
Boards of Directors of the Predecessor Districts in 1989, setting forth and
identifying the required future development of District Facilities, including the
financial projections for providing sewer service to all properties within the
individual service areas of each of the nine Predecessor Districts.
C. That the financial and engineering reports of the Master Plan
were made available to the public, both prior to and subsequent to the adoption
of the Master Plan, and were subject to noticed public hearings, all in accordance
with the provisions of the California Constitution and Government Code Section
66016, and other provisions of law.
D. That the District, in 1997, as part of its maintenance and
updating of its Master Plan, undertook a comprehensive evaluation and study of
its operational and financial needs for the next 20 years, including a detailed
assessment of all types and categories of users; the demands on the system and
capacity needs of the system to provide necessary service to the multiple
categories of users; the total costs of the existing and future facilities in the
system; and alternate methodologies for establishing fair and equitable charges
to connect to and gain access to the system. These comprehensive planning,
engineering, and financial studies led to the development of an updated
Comprehensive Master Plan of Capital Facilities, which was approved and
adopted by OCSD Resolution No. 99-21 of the Board of Directors on October 27,
1999.
E. That in support of this Ordinance and the revised charges for
sewer service and/or Capital Facilities Capacity Charges as provided for on
Tables A, C, D and G herein, the Board of Directors finds that the Capital
Improvement Program ("CIP") Validation Study for Fiscal year 2003-04 and the
Secondary Treatment Peer Review, as approved by the Board of Directors, has
resulted in the development of a Capital Improvement Program that provides for
the implementation of secondary treatment standards, thereby improving effluent
quality in a reasonably short period of time, consistent with the goals and policies
of the Board of Directors, the member agencies, and the public, while also
providing for the construction of necessary improvements to accommodate
VMS-eRH:pj:201650:04120/05 4
0CSD-ADS425M7
projected increased flows and the rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing
facilities. The Board further finds that programming annual adjustments in sewer
service charges over a period of years is appropriate and ensures adequate
revenues to finance the improvements and programs necessary to implement
secondary treatment standards, accommodate increased flows, rehabilitate and
refurbish existing facilities, and retire any necessary or prudent debt incurred to
finance such improvements in a reasonable manner and over a reasonable
period of time. The Board of Directors also finds that such Sanitary Sewer
Service Charges and Capital Facilities Capacity Charges are reasonably related
to, and do not exceed the cost of providing sewer services.
F. That the financial requirements of the District, as shown in
reports prepared by Staff and Consultants relating to the Strategic Plan and the
CIP validation studies, are based on current, reliable information and data
relating to population projections, wastewater flow, and capital facilities' needs,
and are expected to be realized in each year as described in the reports.
G. That the revenues derived under the provisions of this
Ordinance will be used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction,
maintenance, and operation of the sewage collection, wastewater treatment and
disposal facilities of the District; to repay principal and interest on debt
instruments; to repay federal and state loans issued for the construction and
reconstruction of said sewerage facilities, together with costs of administration
and provisions for necessary reserves; and to assist in the payment of costs to
the District to provide all regulatory administration and laboratory services related
to the industrial dischargers, source control permittees, and wastehauler users of
the District's systems.
H. That the owners or occupants of properties upon which all
fees and charges established by this Ordinance are levied, discharge wastewater
to the District's collection, treatment and disposal facilities. The costs of
operating and maintaining said facilities have constantly increased due in part to
increased regulatory requirements to upgrade the treatment process.
I. That the need for upgraded and improved treatment of all
wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities is required to protect the
public health and safety, and to preserve the environment without damage.
J. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges established and
levied by this Ordinance are to allow the District to recover the reasonable costs
to provide a service to individual properties which have been improved for any of
numerous types of uses. The basis for the respective charge is the request of
the owner of property or a structure thereon, for the benefit of him/her/itself, or
the occupants of the property, to receive a service based upon actual use,
consumption, and disposal of water to the District's system in lieu of disposal by
other means.
K. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges established by this
Ordinance are not imposed as a condition of approval of a development project,
as defined in California Government Code Section 66001, and do not exceed the
estimated reasonable cost to provide the sewer service for which the fee is
w&8S-BRH:pf201660:04/20105 5
OCSD-ADB 4a5/0]
levied, as provided in Government Code Sections 66013 and 66016 and
California Constitution Article XIIID.
L. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges adopted herein
will not necessarily result in an expansion of facilities to provide for growth
outside the existing service area. The adoption of these Sanitary Sewer Service
Charges will not result in any specific project, nor result in a direct physical
change in the environment.
M. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges adopted herein
are established upon a rational basis between the fees charged each customer
and the service and facilities provided to each customer of the District, a portion
of which are necessary to replace the loss of ad valorem property taxes to the
State General Fund as a result of state legislative action on September 2, 1992,
and in subsequent years.
N. That the Board of Directors has previously, by duly adopted
Ordinances, commencing in 1969, and most recently by Ordinance No. OCSD-
W30B, established Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, formerly known
commonly as "connection charges" or "fees", to be paid by all persons obtaining
a permit to connect to the District's system. Said Charges are required as a
financial payment to have access to and use of the District's wastewater
collection, treatment and disposal facilities in existence at the time of connecting
to the system, and for future facilities to be constructed.
O. That the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges and Capital
Facilities Capacity Charges established here, are an incident but not a condition
of development, payable only on request to receive service by the property
owner for the benefit of those persons on the property that use the service. The
charges are not an incident of property ownership, nor are they a property-
related service having a direct relationship to property ownership. Accordingly,
the provisions of California Constitution Article XIIID are not applicable.
P. That the District's previous and present Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges Ordinances, include[d] authority for the District to levy an
excess or supplemental capacity charge upon commercial and industrial users
who discharge quantities or high strength wastewater greater than the
established base line of authorized discharge.
Q. That the Capital Facilities Capacity Charges re-enacted by
this Ordinance are non-discriminatory, as applied to all users of the system, and
are established upon a rational basis between the fees charged each category of
property that is connecting, and the service and facilities provided to each
connected property or structure, by the District, within a given category.
R. That the miscellaneous charges and fees re-enacted by this
Ordinance without change are established upon a rational basis between the
fees charged to each industrial discharger, source control permittee, or
wastehauler and the service and facilities provided to each.
S. That the District is required by federal and state law,
including the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Federal
VMS-SRH:pj:201660:04/20/05 6
OCSD-ADB 4/25/0]
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251, at seq.), the General Pretreatment
Regulations (40 C.F.R. 403), and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act
(California Water Code Sections 13000 at seq.) to implement and enforce a
program for the regulation of wastewater discharges to the District's sewers.
T. That the District is required by federal, state and local law, to
meet applicable standards of treatment plant effluent quality.
U. That pursuant to these requirements, the Board of Directors
has adopted an ordinance establishing Wastewater Discharge Regulations.
V. That the District incurs additional costs in conducting non-
compliance sampling of those industrial wastewater dischargers who violate the
District's Wastewater Discharge Regulations and in administering the industrial,
wastehauler, and special discharge permit programs.
W. That the ordinance establishing Wastewater Discharge
Regulations provides that the Board of Directors is to establish various fees and
charges to recover those costs to the District which are made necessary by
industrial dischargers and wastehaulers who violate the District's Wastewater
Discharge Regulations.
X. That the industrial discharger, source control, and
wastehauler fees and charges hereby established by this Ordinance do not
exceed the estimated reasonable costs to the District of industrial discharger,
source control, or wastehauler use of the District's facilities and for the
administration and implementation of permit and fee processing, non-compliance
sampling, and related services associated with the District's Source Control
Program.
Y. That all fees and charges established herein have been
approved by the District's Board of Directors at a noticed public meeting, all in
accordance with applicable provisions of law.
Z. That the adoption of this Ordinance is statutorily exempt
under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to the provisions of
Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and California Code of Regulations
Section 15273(a).
AA. That each of the Findings set forth in previous Ordinances
Nos. OCSD-05, OCSD-06, OCSD-11, OCSD-13, OCSD-15, OCSD-18,
OCSD-19, OCSD-20, OCSD-22, and-OCSD-24. OCSD-26. and OCSD 30B are
reaffirmed and readopted hereat, except to the extent that they have been
specifically superseded or otherwise amended by specific Findings herein.

Section 2.01. Purpose and Scope. The purpose of this Ordinance
is to establish Sanitary Sewer Service Charges required to be paid by property
owners for the services and facilities furnished by the District in connection with
WS&S-BRi1q:201650:0420/05 7
OCSO ADB 425/07
its sanitation treatment works and sewage collection system. Revenues derived
under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be used for the acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and operation of the wastewater
collection, treatment and disposal facilities of the District; to repay principal and
interest on debt instruments; or to repay federal and state loans issued for the
construction and reconstruction of said sewerage facilities, together with costs of
administration and provisions for necessary reserves.
Section 2.02. Annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge.
Commencing with the effective date of this Ordinance, the owner of each parcel
of real property located within the District which is improved with structures
designed for residential, commercial, or industrial use and which, at the request
of the owner or the owner's predecessor-in-interest, is connected to the District's
system, shall pay an annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge based on the
respective class of users, in the sum or sums, as set forth in Tables A and B of
this Ordinance, below. The annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charges for
residential users are set forth in Table A. The applicable single family
residential rate shown in Table A is multiplied by the applicable percentage figure
shown on Table B with respect to the particular use classification to arrive at the
annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charge rate per 1,000 square feet for the
commercial or industrial user. The annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charges for
commercial or industrial users are dependent upon the respective classifications
of property use, determined by reference to Table B.
Section 2.03. A. Exemptions. It is the intent of the District that
the legal owner(s) of parcels of real property, otherwise subject to the levy and
payment of the Sanitary Sewer Service Charges, as prescribed herein, be
relieved, in whole or in part, from the payment of said charges, in certain
circumstances and under conditions prescribed herein, and be entitled to either a
rebate or a refund with respect to charges paid, as more specifically set forth in
Subparagraphs 2.03B and 2.03C below, provided an inequity is established or a
billing error is proven, as specified in Subparagraphs B or C.
B. Application for Rebate. Any property owner
may apply to the District for a rebate of Sanitary Sewer Service Charges paid to
the District by establishing that an unfair valuation of the property has been made
by the District. An applicant for a rebate must establish, by proof satisfactory to
the General Manager of the District, or his designee, that an inequity exists
between the amount of the charge paid and the amount of wastewater
discharged to the District's system, resulting in an unfair valuation. Satisfactory
proof shall establish that either:
(1) The principal water use is agricultural or
horticultural; or
(2) The property is devoted to any other use
wherein the amount of wastewater discharged to the District's system is
significantly less on a regular basis than the amount that would normally be
expected to be discharged by the class of property in question.
wSBS-8RH:p1:201660:04/20/05 8
OCSD-ADa4/25/07
Satisfactory proof shall include, but not be limited to, documentation
showing actual water usage for each billing cycle during the entire period for
which the rebate is sought.
The amount of any rebate shall not reduce the charge payable by any
property owner, whose properly is connected to the District's system, to less than
the single family residential charge shown on the applicable Table attached
hereto.
C. Application for Refund. Any property owner may
apply to the District for a refund of Sanitary Sewer Service Charges paid to the
District by establishing that the amount paid was pursuant to an error in the
amount billed or the amount paid. The applicant for a refund must submit proof
satisfactory to the General Manager of the District, or his designee, that a billing
error has been made by the District, or the County Tax Collector. Such proof
shall include, but not be limited to, proof that:
(1) The owner's parcel of property is not
connected to the District's system; or
(2) The property has not been classified in the
proper property use classification code land use sategery; or
(3) A clerical error has been made.

refunds shall be deemed to be governed by the provisions of California Revenue
& Taxation Code Sections 5096 and 5097, allowing for refunds for a period of
four (4) years from the date of payment of the second installment of the bill
claimed to be either inequitable or incorrect.
E. Determination. All applications for rebates or refunds
of the Sanitary Sewer Service Charge will be determined by the General
Manager of the District, or his designee, who, based on the submitted proof, may
grant a full or partial rebate or refund.
F. Administrative Fee. At the time of filing the
application for rebate or refund, the property owner shall pay District an
administrative fee for the processing of such application. The amount of the fee
shall be equal to the total of all fees and charges imposed on the District by any
other public entity, such as the Orange County Tax Collector, the Orange County
Auditor, or the Orange County Recorder, in connection with the rebate or refund.
Section 2.04. Annual Charge Based on Fiscal Year. The Sanitary
Sewer Service Charges established by this Ordinance shall be effective as of
July 1 of each year, as set forth in Tables A and B, attached hereto, for the
District's fiscal year, and shall remain in effect until such time as the rates
adopted herein are changed by District Ordinance. There shall be no proration of

CAPITAL FACILITIES CAPACITY CHARGES
Section 3.01. Puroose and Scope. The purpose of this Ordinance
is to impose Capital Facilities Capacity Charges when properties, either newly-
connect to the District's system, or expand the use of the property previously
connected to the District. Revenues derived under the provisions of this
Ordinance will be used for the acquisition, construction, and reconstruction of the
wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities of the District; to repay
principal and interest on debt instruments; or to repay federal or state loans for
the construction and reconstruction of said sewerage facilities, together with
costs of administration and provisions for necessary reserves.
Section 3.02. Definitions.
A. "Actual construction costs" include the cost of all activities
necessary or incidental to the construction of a District facility, such as financing,
planning, designing, acquisition of the property or interests in the property,
construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and repair.
B. "Capital Facilities Capacity Charge" means a one-time, non-
discriminatory charge imposed at the time a building or structure is newly
connected to the District's system, directly or indirectly, or an existing structure or
category of use is expanded or increased. Said charge is to pay for District
facilities in existence at the time the charge is imposed, or to pay for new facilities
to be constructed in the future, that are of benefit to the property being charged.
This charge does not apply to temporary facilities or operations that are regulated
under the provisions of a Special Purpose Discharge Permit.
C. "Connection fee" means a fee equal to the cost necessary to
physically connect a property to the District's system, including but not limited to,
installation of meters, meter boxes, pipelines, and appurtenances to make the
connection and which fee does not exceed the actual cost of labor, materials,
and overhead for the installation of those facilities.
D. "Non-discriminatory" means that the Capital Facilities
Capacity Charge does not exceed an amount determined on the basis of the
same objective criteria and methodology applicable to comparable public or non-
public users, and is not in excess of the proportionate share of the cost of the
District's facilities of benefit to the person or property being charged, based upon
the proportionate share of use of those facilities.
E. "Public agency" means the United States or any of its
agencies, the State or any of its agencies, the Regents of the University of
California, a county, city, district, school district, local or regional public authority,
or any other political entity, subdivision or public corporation of the State.
F. The Supplemental Capital Facilities Capacity Charge, as
provided for in Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, and 3.10 of this Ordinance, is an annual
charge payable to the District on a quarterly or annual basis, as determined by
WSBS-BRH:p6201660:04/20/05 15
OCSD.4DB4IY5/0]
the District. Said charge is required to be paid by dischargers that exceed the
maximum quantity of flow or constituents (BOD or SS) allowed as a base use for
which the CFCC is paid.
Section 3.03. Connection Permits: Required.
A. Connection permits are required of each and every dwelling
unit, and each commercial or industrial building, and structure connecting directly
or indirectly to the District's sewerage system facilities. Included are the
connections of laterals to local municipal sewerage facilities, and the connection
of local municipal sewerage facilities and laterals to the District's facilities.
Mu@iple detached structures on a single parcel of property shall each be required
to obtain a connection permit.
B. Except as authorized by the issuance of a Special Purpose
Discharge Permit under Sections 305 — 305.6 of the District's Wastewater
Discharge Regulations, or as authorized pursuant to a special extra territorial
service agreement approved by the Board of Directors, no permit shall be valid
unless the real property to be served by use of the permit is included within the
boundaries of the District and within the boundaries of a local sewering agency
authorized to maintain public severing facilities. However, a permit, as
authorized above, may be issued for property to be served outside the
boundaries of a local sewering agency if a local sewering agency makes
application for the issuance of such permit.
There will be a non-discriminatory Capital Facilities Capacity Charge
assessed to public agencies for connecting directly or indirectly to the District's
sewerage system facilities, and a connection permit must be obtained.
Section 3.04. Capital Facilities Capacity Charge: Payment
Required. No application for a permit for a connection of a structure to a District
sewerage facility, or to any sewerage facility which discharges into a District
sewerage facility, shall be approved, nor a permit issued, until a District Capital
Facilities Capacity Charge is paid by the applicant, except as provided for
discharges under a Special Purpose Discharge Permit. No connection permit
shall be issued unless there is an established category of use of the property to
be served or a valid building permit issued which establishes the category of use
of said property.
Section 3.05. Capital Facilities Capacity Charge: Time of Payment.
A. Payment of the Capital Facilities Capacity Charge
established by this Ordinance for connection to the District's sewerage system
facilities shall be required at the time of issuance of the building permit for all
construction within the District, excepting in the case of a building legally exempt
from the requirement of obtaining a permit. The payment of the Capital Facilities
Capacity Charge for such exempt buildings will be required at the time of and
prior to the issuing of a plumbing connection permit for any construction within
the territorial limits of the District, or if none, prior to the issuance of a Certificate
of Occupancy.
WSBS-8RH:pj:2D16B0:M2Q05 16

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Ordinance No. OCSD-33, Adopting Fees, Revised Procedures and Policies Concerning
Annexation of Properties to the District and Repealing Ordinance No. OCSD-29:
a. Motion to read Ordinance No. OCSD-33 by title only and waive reading of said
entire ordinance.
b. Motion to introduce Ordinance No. OCSD-33, and pass to second reading and
public hearing on May 23, 2007.
SUMMARY
• The current Ordinance governing annexations was adopted in 2004 and needs to be
updated to include procedures for deferring annexation fees for large annexations until
the time of a sewer connection to a public sewer.
• A new Ordinance has been prepared that now includes a section regarding deferring
payment of annexation fees.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
The last Board action related to annexation fees was January 2004.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The changes to the Ordinance are being requested to codify a procedure for the Orange
County Sanitation District Board and staff where annexations may precede actual sewer
connections. This procedure will require an action by the Board to defer annexation fee
collection until a sewer connection is made for the property.
There are still a few unincorporated areas within the County of Orange, also not within the
Sanitation District. These areas are all on septic tanks which are subject to failures;
recently leading to numerous residents requesting connections to public sewers. The
annexation process can cost over $8,000 and require 6 to 18 months to complete. Staff
Form No.o io2,3 aem..a.owrmi
Page 1
has been working with residents in these areas to minimize their costs and time
associated with the conversion to a public sewer.
The ability to process larger annexations prior to septic tank failures offers two benefits.
The first benefit is a distribution of fixed administrative costs over a larger number of
residents. This is estimated to save each resident about $4,000. The second benefit is
that pre-annexation can allow immediate connection to public sewers at any time the
property owner chooses.
The difficulty in proceeding with large annexations has been the immediate cost to
property owners for administrative annexation fees. This is especially true for residents
not planning to connect to a public sewer, or who are too far from a public sewer to
feasibly conned at this time. To date, the ability to delay these costs has reduced
opposition in the areas annexing. This is because it balances the needs for residents in
these areas wishing to immediately conned to a public sewer and residents that do not
have an immediate need to replace their septic tanks.

COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT ADOPTING FEES, PROCEDURES,
AND POLICIES CONCERNING ANNEXATIONS OF TERRITORY TO
THE DISTRICT,AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. OCSD-2903
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District("District")
has previously adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-2429;adopting fees, procedures, and
policies concerning annexations of territory to the District, which Ordinance is presently
in full force and effect; and
WHEREAS, for purposes of continued efficiency and effectiveness of the District's
operations, preservation of the public health and safety, and in order to continue the
provision of wastewater collection, treatment and disposal services, it is the intent, by
adoption of this Ordinance, to continue said procedures and policies in effect, without
interruption; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the District has received a management report,
including financial needs of the District, and wishes to reaffirm the policy of imposing
annexation fees when new territory is annexed to the District, and to adopt findings
supporting the amount of the fees adopted pursuant to this Ordinance.
The Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District does hereby FIND:
A. That a comprehensive 30-year Master Plan of Capital Facilities, entitled "Collection,
Treatment and Disposal Facilities Master Plan—1989", hereinafter referred to as the
"Master Plan", which includes detailed financial and engineering reports, was prepared,
approved, and adopted by the Boards of Directors of the Predecessor Districts in 1989,
setting forth and identifying the required future development of District facilities, including
the financial projections for providing sewer service to all properties within the individual
service areas of each of the nine Predecessor Districts; and
B. That the financial and engineering reports of the Master Plan were made available to
the public, both prior to and subsequent to the adoption of the Master Plan, and were
subject to noticed public hearings, all in accordance with the provisions of the California
Constitution and Government Code Section 66016, and other provisions of law; and
C. That the District, in 1997, as part of its maintenance and updating of its Master Plan,
undertook a comprehensive evaluation and study of its operational and financial needs
for the next 20 years, including a detailed assessment of all types and categories of
users; the demands on the system and capacity needs of the system to provide
necessary service to the multiple categories of users; the total costs of the existing and
future facilities in the system; and alternate methodologies for establishing fair and
equitable charges to connect to and gain access to the system. These comprehensive
planning, engineering, and financial studies led to the development of an updated
Comprehensive Master Plan of Capital Facilities, which was approved and adopted by
OCSD Resolution No. 99-21 of the Board of Directors on October 27, 1999; and
D. That the properties upon which the fees established by this Ordinance are levied, will,
subsequent to payment of an additional Capital Facilities Capacity Charge, be allowed to
discharge wastewater to the District's collection, treatment and disposal facilities; that
the costs of operating and maintaining said facilities have constantly increased due in
part to increased regulatory requirements to upgrade the treatment process; and that
said costs will exceed the amounts of any ad valorem tax revenues derived from said
property and
E. That the District will not receive any tax exchange from said annexed properties
because of an agreement with the County of Orange under which there is no tax
exchange for newly-annexed property; and
F. That the annexation fees established here are an incident but not a condition of
development, payable only on request to receive service by the property owner for the
benefit of those persons on the property that use the service. The fees are not an
incident of property ownership, nor are they a property-related service having a direct
relationship to property ownership. Accordingly, the provisions of California Constitution
Article MID are not applicable.
G. That the annexation fees imposed by authority of this Ordinance do not exceed the
estimated amount required to provide access to the sewer service for which the fee is
levied, as provided in California Government Code Section 66013; and
H. That the fees established by this Ordinance will not necessarily result in an expansion
of facilities to provide for growth outside the existing service area. The collection of these
annexation fees will not result in any specific project, and will not result in a direct
physical change in the environment; and
I. That the fees adopted by this Ordinance are established upon a rational basis between
the fees charged each property that is annexing, and the service and facilities provided
to each annexed property by the District, a portion of which is necessary to replace the
loss of ad valorem property taxes to the State General Fund as a result of State
legislative action on September 2, 1992, and in subsequent years; and
J. That all fees and charges established herein have been approved by the District's
Board of Directors at a noticed public meeting, all in accordance with applicable
provisions of law; and
K.That the adoption of this Ordinance is statutorily exempt under the California
Environmental Quality Act from further environmental assessment pursuant to the
provisions of California Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8), and 14 California
Code of Regulations Section 15273(a).
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of Orange County Sanitation District, does
hereby ORDAIN:
Section 1:That the purpose of this Ordinance is to establish fees required to be paid by
property owners for the annexation of property to the District. Said fees are in lieu of
property taxes not allocated to the District while the property was outside of the District,
and in lieu of future property tax allocations through a Tax Exchange Agreement.
Revenues derived under the provisions of this Ordinance may be used for the
acquisition, construction, and reconstruction of the wastewater collection, treatment and
disposal facilities of the District; to repay principal and interest on debt instruments; or to
repay federal or state loans issued for the construction and reconstruction for said
sewerage facilities, together with costs of administration and provisions for necessary
reserves.
Section 2: That the proponents of any application for annexation of any territory to the
District are requesting that the annexed property become a part of the District's
jurisdiction, and that by doing so, they become entitled to receive the benefits of having
access to the use of the extensive capital facilities system and to receive the District's

Revenue Area No. 14: N/A

and Resolutions pertaining to fees for connection to the District's facilities and use of
said facilities, including but not limited to, industrial discharge permit fees, capital

D. The annexed territory shall be annexed into an appropriate local sewering agency, or
obtain the written approval of the designated local sewering agency, such as a city, for
the purpose of obtaining access to and use of the local sewer system, including pumping
stations and force mains, which connects to the District's facilities and system.
E. The territory, upon annexation, shall be subject to all ad valorem taxes required for
the retirement of the existing and future bonds of the District, and all other applicable ad
valorem taxes of the District.
F. In the case of territory outside of the District's adopted sphere of influence that is
provided service pursuant to District Resolution 99-05, Section 2(as the same may be
amended from time to time), the following areas shall not be subject to fees equivalent to
annexation fees:
• That portion of land that is subject to a permanent easement for open space
preserve or dedication for open space preserve. This exception shall not apply
to areas that are internal to developments. Portions of property to be used for
public and private parks intended for recreation purposes shall be subject to the
fees. Individual open space areas that are surrounded or substantially
surrounded by development shall be subject to the fees,
• Land that is designated for use as a golf course, except that all portions of golf
course land which are utilized for access road, parking, and clubhouse shall be
included.
• Land designated for use as a flood control or water quality basin.
If the use of any portion of territory previously exempted from payment of the fees
hereunder is changed to a non-exempt use, the then-owner of that portion of the territory
shall pay the fees equivalent to annexation fees at the amount then in effect for that
portion of the territory that is no longer exempt.
Section 3: The General Manager is hereby authorized and directed to establish
procedures and fees for processing annexation of territory to the District. Said
procedures may include provisions for collection by the District of fees charged by other
local and state agencies involved in the annexation process for submittal to said
agencies by the District on behalf of the annexation proponent.
The District's Staff is hereby directed to provide the proponents of any proposed
annexation a copy of procedures and fee schedules established pursuant to the
authority of this Section.
Not withstanding the foregoing, upon application of any property owner seeking
Permission to connect to the District's system, the District Board of Directors may defer
payment of the applicable annexation fees until such time as the applicant actually
connects to the District's system.
Section 4:That the Staff be directed to transmit to the Orange County Local Agency
Formation Commission a certified copy of this Ordinance.
Section 5: If any of the provisions of this Ordinance, or the application to any persons or
circumstance are held invalid by order of Court, the remainder of this Ordinance, or the
application of such provision to other persons or other circumstances, shall not be
affected.
Section 6. That the provisions of this Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days
after adoption and shall apply to all annexations to the District on or after said date.
Section 7: That Ordinance No. OCSD -249 is repealed effective upon the effective date
of this Ordinance.
Section 8: That the Secretary of the Board shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance
and shall cause a summary to be published in a newspaper of general circulation as
required by law.
