Pountaln Valllley 2007 OCSD Municipal Services Review Summary
anercan Gar,fan Gave The Orange County Local Agency Formation, Commission (OCLAFCO) recently
l+snua"gton 6.ash submitted their preliminary draft of the municipal service review (MSR)and sphere of
1rvxe influence (SOI) review/update for the Orange County Sanitation District to staff for
La Moore

Los/duexrmn municipal services provided by the Orange County Sanitation District and for

Stanton Based on its analysis of the Orange County Sanitation District's structure and service
Ville Perk provisions, LAFCO staff came to the following conclusions:
Moron L,nda . OCSD's infrastructure is sufficient to meet all current regulatory requirements.
County of orange However, changes in regulations, increased population and deteriorating
facilities require a significant investment in new and renovated capital
sanitary D1.trltw facilities over the next 15 years.
• OCSD's expenditures and capital improvement program are founded on long-
costly lVaea range planning and analysis programs. The District is fiscally solvent and will

Water Districts implemented on schedule.
raanon • OCSD provides efficient and cost effective regional services.
. OCSD's organizational structure appears to be sound and it operates with a
high degree of transparency and accountability to the public.
• OCSD currently owns and operates local sewers in a few areas; however, the
District has expressed a desire to terminate provision of local sewer service.
It may be more logical for sewer services to be provided to these areas by
adjacent cities or nearby water or sanitary districts where applicable.

May 17, 2007
• There are areas within OCSD's regional sphere of influence where failures of
existing on-site wastewater systems (septic systems)are occurring.These
areas are in the County of Orange's unincorporated islands, and there is a
need for local sewer connections. However, today there are no institutional
mechanisms in place to provide for these services.
• LAFCO Staff recommends that the Commission re-affirm the current Orange
County Sanitation District sphere of influence.
Overall, OCSD staff believes that this is a complementary and fair assessment of
OCSD provided services. Staff concurs with the OCLAFCO assessment regarding
the conversion of failed septic tanks in the County's unincorporated areas. This
remains a serious issue facing the County of Orange. To address this issue, OCSD
staff has requested that the OCLAFCO more firmly identify the County of Orange as
the responsible agency to lead efforts to develop solutions in these areas. In
particular, OCSD staff believes that the County of Orange should develop access
and maintenance agreements with the adjacent cities and special districts to allow
unincorporated residents access to public sewer services.
EnerTech Holds Groundbreaking Ceremony for Rialto Biosolids Facility
On May 14, 2007, EnerTech held a formal groundbreaking ceremony for its new
facility. 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. The facility provides
a sustainable biosolids management option with significant environmental benefits
for all of the participating municipalities.

Board of Directors meeting.
Judge likes city's sewer settlement
By Matthew T. Hall—UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER—May 19, 2007
SAN DIEGO—A Superior Court judge all but approved a$40 million settlement yesterday
between San Diego and consumer advocate Michael Shames,who sued the city three years ago for
allowing single-family sewer customers to subsidize the bills of businesses.
But a new dispute has emerged over who will ensure that the city bills its water and sewer
ratepayers fairly in the future.
At a hearing yesterday,Judge Ronald Prager embraced the settlement,which includes$5 million
for attorneys'fees,and said he would formalize it next week.He urged Shames to resolve his
remaining dispute with city officials or to file a formal request to have the judge settle the issue.
Shames wants the watchdog group he heads,the Utility Consumers'Action Network,to monitor
city water and sewer rates,but Mayor Jerry Sanders believes the duty should fall to a city
oversight panel he is forming.
Shames says the mayors proposal would violate the settlement,which calls for an independent,
nonprofit organization to protect customer interests.
Sanders countered that his committee would be"very independent."
He said yesterday that he expects to appoint people to the Independent Rates Oversight
Committee in coming weeks.It will replace a similar volunteer group that lacked the financial
background to catch the billing inequities that Shames'lawyers contend took place from 1994 to
2004.
Before the City Council ended the practice,San Diego's multifamily,commercial and industrial
sewer customers paid proportionally less than single-family customers because the city collected
sewer fees that didn't vary based on the amount of organic pollutants in the waste.
Under the settlement,San Diego's 223,000 single-family sewer customers are projected to receive
on average less than$200 in rebates.Comparatively,City Attorney Michael Aguirre found that
two companies,Kelco and ISP Alginates Inc.,avoided paying the city about$226,000 a month,or
$2.7 million annually.
Sanders outlined his plans for a new city committee to watch over water and sewer system funds
and bond proceeds a few days after the Shames settlement was made public in November.The
mayor said then that the panel wouldn't interfere with Shames'bid to empower a nonprofit
organization as a utility watchdog.
Yesterday,he defended his reversal.
' I
ii
"At that time,I don't ever recall Shames mentioning UCAN should be the oversight board,"
Sanders said."In fact,that was left very open.And IROC as we have now started to constitute it,I
think is a perfect vehicle for that."
Contrary to Sanders'recollection,Shames said in November that he might ask UCAN's board to
serve as a watchdog over water and sewer rates if no other nonprofit organization volunteered.
Ultimately,no one else stepped forward.
Per terms of the settlement,the watchdog will be able to solicit contributions through regular
inserts in customer bills,three times a year for five years,to hire experts to evaluate future rate
cases.
UCAN,whose focus has been on gasoline,telecommunications and energy,was established in the
i98os with solicitations in electricity bills.
The Shames settlement temporarily causes multifamily,commercial and industrial sewer
customers to pay higher rates than single-family customers to make up for the time they
shouldered less of the load.Under a complex formula used because state law mandates
proportional rate increases,rates will rise for all sewer users,then single-family customers will
get credits to cancel out the increase and a rebate on top of that.
The initial deal called for the city to shell out the entire sum to customers in four years,but the
judge eliminated that time frame at the city's request yesterday when told it may take longer to
distribute the money.
The settlement was reached through a mediator,who recommended that Shames'attorneys at
Krause Kalfayan Benink&Slavens LLP get 12.5 percent of the award,a total that Prager yesterday
said seemed"very reasonable."
"But for these attorneys,this whole situation may never have come to light,"the judge said.Mme
would have gone by and it would have been too late."

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Nick Arhontes, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: GRIT AND SCREENINGS REMOVAL, Specification No. S-2007-336
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Award a Contract to Fleet Transportation Services for Grit and Screenings Removal,
Specification No. S-2007-336, for the period commencing June 13, 2007 through
June 12, 2008, for a total amount not to exceed $448,260 with an option to renew
the contract for up to four one-year periods; and,
2. Approve a 25% contingency for change orders to said contract for the period
June 13, 2007 through June 12, 2012 (one year contract plus four one-year renewal
options), if said renewals are exercised ($112,065).
SUMMARY
• This service provides bins for the collection of grit and screening materials, the
subsequent removal of the full bins, and final disposal of the material in permitted
landfills. Grit and screening materials are continually produced as part of the
preliminary treatment process at both plants.
• The current provider of services has conveyed that they had miscalculated their
costs in their bid and are losing money on this contract. The provider has opted not
to renew the contract. The Operations Committee was briefed on May 2, 2007
regarding the issue and that staff would be moving the recommendation to award
the contract to the full Board for approval. A new contract must be in place prior to
the expiration of the existing contract ending on June 12, 2007.
• Purchasing/Contracts conducted a bid process based on the specifications
developed by O&M staff. Bids closed May 8, 2007, and four firms responded.
Results are shown in the Additional Information section.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Bid results provided by the Purchasing/Contracts Division:
CONTRACTOR TOTAL COST
1. Fleet Transportation Services $ 448,260.00
2. Athens Services $ 554,781.00
3. United Storm Water $ 561,400.00
4. Ecology Control Industries (ECI) $ 662.450.00
5. Solid Solutions No Response
6. Waste Management No Bid
This contract complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of
Authority. This item has been budgeted in the operating budget for O&M.
The prior contract with Ecology Control Industries was approved through the budget
approval process. Our costs, based on the current contract are up to $599,900
annually, per the same specifications used in the bid documents. However, this also
included hauling extra volumes due to digesters being cleaned in FY 06/07.
Current references provided by Fleet Transportation Services are East Bay Municipal
Utilities District (EBMUD) in Oakland, City of San Diego, City of Oceanside, and the City
of Ramona. OCSD has used the firm, under a previous business name, between ten
and fifteen years ago, per O&M staffs recollection. O&M staff will closely monitor the
firm's performance and keep Purchasing/Contracts informed.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: James Herberg, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH THE IRVINE RANCH WATER DISTRICT TO
TRANSFER THE REVENUE AREA IN THE CITY OF ORANGE FROM
REVENUE AREA 14 TO THE CONSOLIDATED REVENUE AREA.
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to execute an agreement with Irvine Ranch Water
District to transfer 127 acres in the City of Orange from Revenue Area 14 to the
Consolidated Revenue Area, in a form approved by General Counsel.
SUMMARY
• The transfer area was recently developed and contains residential housing and
some commercial uses (see the attached Exhibit A). The area is within the City of
Orange and is southwest of the intersection of Chapman Avenue and Jamboree
Road.
• The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) service area is divided into two
Revenue Areas (RA): RA-14 and the Consolidated RA. RA-14 lies within IRWD.
Users in RA-14 pay IRWD for connection and user fees. Users in the Consolidated
RA pay OCSD.
• All sewage from the transfer area flows into the Consolidated RA. The transfer area
was originally placed in RA-14, and therefore OCSD cannot bill the property owners
for annual regional sewer service.
is Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) does not bill these property owners for regional
sewer service because they are not IRWD customers.
• OCSD staff estimates that up to $30,000 in revenue will be generated for OCSD
once these lands are moved into the Consolidated RA.

Federal advocate, Eric Sapirstein, informed the committee via teleconference that the Water
Resources Development Act (WRDA)was passed out of the House of Representatives but did
not contain authorization language for the SARI line. We had been seeking the authorization in
WRDA last year to relocate the SARI line. We are seeking authorization language the Senate
version,which would put OCSD in a good position to receive Federal funding to reimburse us in
the future, if necessary.
Mr. Sapirstein outlined a strategy to insert the SARI authorization in WRDA in the Senate,
expressing that with Senator Boxer as the committee chair overseeing the bill and solid
relationships with committee staff, we stand a good chance of success.

SUBJECT: UNIT PRICE INCREASE TO EXISTING HYDROGEN PEROXIDE CONTRACT,
SPECIFICATION NO. C-2006-277, FOR SULFIDE AND ODOR CONTROL IN
THE TREATMENT PLANTS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve Change Order No. 1 to Purchase Order No. 102520-OB for the Purchase of
Hydrogen Peroxide, Specification No. C-2006-277, issued to U.S. Peroxide, providing for
a unit gallon price increase from $1.47 per unit gallon to $1.607 per unit gallon, plus tax
for the contract period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008; and,
2. Authorize a 10%contingency for change orders to said purchase order.
SUMMARY
• Hydrogen peroxide is utilized in the treatment plants to reduce odors. It is used in the
chemical scrubbers for foul air odor control as well as direct dosing in the liquid stream
as the trunklines enter the plants, the headworks and flow splitter boxes within the
facilities..
• In fiscal year 2006-07, USP was awarded a one-year contract(2006-2007)for the
amount of$1.249.500.00 plus tax for the contract period of July 1, 20D6 through June
30, 2007, with four(4) one-year renewal periods.
• The unit price with USP will be increased due to high demand for the product in the pulp
and paper industry and global demand, escalating costs for natural gas, material, labor
and freight. Freight costs have increased 10-20%, and fuel surcharges increased 5-8%.
In addition, insurance costs have increased by approximately 40%.
• There has been a steady increase in hydrogen peroxide pricing, which USP did not
anticipate in their initial contract bid.
• Recent bid outcomes from OCSD and other public agencies have resulted in USP being
the only viable and competitive peroxide distributor.
• Based on purchasing 880,000 gallons of hydrogen peroxide at a unit price of$1.607 per
gallon plus applicable tax, the contract would result in an amount of$1,414,160.00 plus
tax.

SUBJECT: CENTRAL GENERATION ENGINE OVERHAUL PROJECT
SPECIFICATION NO. S-2006-308
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Ratify Change Order No. 2 to Purchase Order 102687-OA issued to NRG Engine
Services, LLC, for Central Generation Engine Overhaul Project, Specification No.
5-2006-308, for additional work, authorizing an addition of$180,000, increasing the
total purchase order amount to $759,034.
SUMMARY
• Two Central Generation engine overhauls were approved for fiscal year 2006-
2007 for an amount not to exceed $700,000.
• The project was publicly bid and NRG Engine Services LLC was awarded the
contract as the lowest responsive bidder for a total project cost of$530,034.
• During the overhaul of Engine#2 at Plant 1, a worn camshaft hub was
discovered. This was unanticipated work and not included in the original bid.
Change Order No. 1 was authorized to replace the necessary parts for an
amount not to exceed $49,000. This additional work increased the total project
cost to $579,034.
• During the overhaul of Engine#5 at Plant 2, it was discovered that several
camshaft lobes on both camshafts had excessive wear and needed replacing.
Because the engine had over 84,000 hours of run time, staff recommended
replacing all the lobes and not just those that were severely worn. This requires
that Change Order No. 2 be authorized for an added $180,000.
• The $180,000 addition raised the total project cost to $759,034. This is $59,034
above the contract pre-approval page budget amount which provided an amount
not to exceed $700,000.

There would be $35,430 in possible monthly power demand costs if the engine
were not operating during the summer peak power cost period (June 3 — October
7). The parts required to repair the engine have to be manufactured with a six
week lead time. Staff authorized ordering the parts as time was of the essence
to ensure the repair of the engine with reliable parts prior to summer peak hours
beginning. The firm's staff will return and install the new parts once they arrive
and complete the work, including testing, by May 31.
PRIOR COMMITTEEIBOARD ACTIONS
NA
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The authorized funding for a contract amount not to exceed $700,000 during the fiscal
year was approved in the 2006-2007 budget adoption process. If the change order is
not authorized, the risk of not having a standby generator during peak power rates for
Plant No. 2 would be increased, resulting in the need to import power from Southern
California Edison at a possible monthly cost of $35,430. Funds exist within the
Department's Operating Budget to cover the added costs. Reassembling and running
the engine with the worn parts could lead to reduced reliability and added internal parts
failure.

• Since it was determined during design that the construction schedules for both
projects and the construction of certain project elements for each project would be
highly dependant on each other, it was decided that both jobs should be constructed
by the same contractor. The construction costs will be tracked separately between
the two projects as specified in the CIP Budget Book

Project Manager: Matt Smith
SUBJECT: INTEGRATED PROGRAM MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS (IPMC)
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve Amendment No. 7 to the Professional Services Agreement with Integrated
Program Management Consultants, a joint venture of Parsons Water and
Infrastructure Inc., and CH2MHill, Inc., for Program Management Services for the
Capital Improvement Program for an additional five-year period through FY 2011-12;
and,
2. Approve an additional amount of$15,997,936 for FY 2007-08, increasing the total
contract amount not to exceed $76,089,975.
SUMMARY
• We are currently in the fifth year of a five-year contract with Integrated Program
Management Consultants (IPMC). It is anticipated that the current Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) will require the use of IPMC at least through Fiscal
Year (FY) 2011-12 to coincide with the completion of the secondary treatment
projects.
• Staff will be working on 83 active projects during FY 2007-08 with estimated cash
expenditures in excess of$290,000,000. Cash expenditure projections peak in
FY 2008-09 with annual expenditures exceeding $300,000,000.
• A detailed planning effort, along with resource forecasting, has identified the need
for 70 IPMC staff to augment the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation
District) staff to complete next fiscal year's work. Most of the identified staff are
currently working on Sanitation District projects. New hires, and/or replacement staff
will be phased in over the fiscal year as required. IPMC will augment Sanitation
District staff in Division 750 (Project Management), Division 770 (Fast Track
Projects), Division 820 (Process Engineering), and Division 760 (Engineering and
Construction). The functions these people will perform are described in more detail
below, along with the recommended budget for FY 2007-08.
Form No,owraax aN•.aowimi
Page 1
• The benefits provided by IPMC include the rapid mobilization of highly
skilled/technical staff, flexibility of staff mix on an immediate, and as-needed basis, —
the ability to quickly reduce staff as workloads decrease, project controls expertise,
and many years of experience working on similar programs throughout the United
States. Staff believes that using a Program Management Consultant approach is a
practical, cost-effective, and efficient way to augment Sanitation District staff to
deliver the CIP.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District will require IPMC services beyond the existing five-year contract
which is currently scheduled for expiration at the end of FY 2006-07. Based on the
current schedule and project workload, staff has estimated the level of effort that will be
required through FY 2011-2012.
It is currently anticipated that no IPMC Staff will be required after FY 2011-2012;
however, staff will continually estimate the need for staff, both permanent and
temporary, to support the CIP.

Staff is continually evaluating whether to hire permanent staff and reduce the number of
IPMC staff. The estimate of IPMC staff required for each fiscal year does not include
the addition of more permanent Sanitation District staff which would reduce the IPMC
staff needs currently projected. For the anticipated ten-year duration of the IPMC
contract, the overall staff costs associated with the CIP are about$382,000,000
(currently estimated at $267,000,000 for Sanitation District staff, and $115,000,000 for
IPMC staff). During this period of time, the Sanitation District will be expending
approximately$2,600,000,000 for engineering, design, and construction of capital
facilities. The $115,000,000 planned to be expended for IPMC support equates to 4.4%
of the total planned expenditures.
The average hourly billing rate for IPMC staff is approximately $123/hr. IPMC billing
rate includes salaries, benefits, fixed costs which are sometimes referred to as
overhead (Buildings, Administration, Utilities, Insurance, etc.), and a 5% profit. The
"overhead" rate which is applied to an employee's raw salary is approximately 145% for
IPMC. As a comparison, the engineering consultants who conduct studies, and develop
designs for the Sanitation District typically have an overhead rate range of about 190 to
200%. IPMC overhead rate is 145% because the Sanitation District is providing office
space and equipment to their field staff.
The costs for IPMC will be charged to the individual CIP projects. Funding for IPMC
costs are included in individual project budgets. Each fiscal year, as projects are
planned, scheduled, budgeted, and resource needs identified, a projected cost will be
presented to the Operations Committee for approval. Semi-annual updates for the
entire program will also be provided.
Project Management Office (Pll
The PMO is home to the project management and project controls staff.
Project Management Staffing:
In FY 2007-08, the PMO will be managing 83 active projects with a budget of
$2,300,000,000. The project budget ranges in size from $1,000,000 to over
$250,000,000. The Sanitation District has completed a staffing analysis, and believes a
workload of three to six projects per Project Manager (PM) (based on size, and
complexity) is appropriate. IPMC will provide nine personnel to augment the Sanitation
District's Project Management Personnel in the PMO. The nine positions are described
below:
• One PM (Salgaonkar) to provide general management and supervision of all IPMC
staff. The PM will work with the Director of Engineering, the PMO Manager, and
Engineering and Construction Manager to ensure compliance with contracts,
policies, and procedures. The PM will provide technical oversight and direction in all
aspects of the program and help ensure successful delivery of the CIP. The PM
manages technical work executed by the home office staff.
• Five PMs (Acevedo, MacDonald, May, Rapagna, and Schirripa)to supplement the
six Sanitation District PMs. The PMs provide day-to-day management and technical
knowledge to deliver the assigned projects.

• One PM (MacLeod) to deliver the Fast Track Projects. These smaller capital
projects are needed to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency of facility
operations.
• One Cost Engineer and Business Manager (Billhardt) to provide assistance in the
areas of time keeping, resources, accounting, and contracts management.
• One Administrative Assistant (Moore) to provide clerical and general administrative
support, e.g., preparing agenda reports, general correspondence.
Project Controls Staff:
Currently there are 177 projects being tracked by the Project Controls Group. Of
these, 83 are active engineering projects, 22 are in future, and 72 are cancelled or
completed. These projects require a variety of monthly updates including cost
reporting, development of performance measures, reports, and other presentation
materials. Each staff function is described below.
• One Project Controls Manager/Scheduler (Michael) to provide scheduling and cost
reporting support, QA/QC, technical oversight, and direction to controls staff.
• Two Project Schedulers (Rodriquez, Moseley) assigned to PMO to prepare project
cost, and schedule updates and milestone tracking in support of PMO Project
Managers. Other duties performed by the schedulers include assisting in the CIP
budgeting process, rash flow updates, preparation and updating of resource and
workload planning information, providing input to the preparation of the Engineering
CIP Semi Annual Report, and provide training and support to Sanitation District staff
on the use of the various computer software tools including P3/ec, Access, and
Business Object.
• One Program Controls Analyst (Gaus) to maintain and process the baseline cost
and schedule databases. Other duties include providing technical support to PMs in
preparing monthly and fiscal year cash flow analysis and report development,
preparation of PMO meeting presentation materials, and assisting in the preparation
of annual CIP updates and other programmatic cost and schedule reports.
• One Project Controls Analyst (Reichenbach) assigned to assist in time reporting,
charge numbers, and general quality assurance of data used in the system. Other
duties include preparation of the semi-annual reports, updating the PM Manual, and
maintaining portions of the automated weekly timesheet in PCS for Sanitation
District staff. She will also serve as part-time scheduler on a number of Engineering
CIP projects.

• One Construction Field Scheduling Lead (Werner) to provide oversight on all matters
related to the construction field scheduling. Other duties include review and
guidance in the preparation of monthly construction schedule analysis reports
prepared by IPMC and the Sanitation District field schedule personnel. Will also
participate in the preparation of time impact analysis and review of contractor
submitted claims.
• Three Construction Field Schedulers (White, Sugasawara, one new hire) assigned
to ensure that contractors provide quality baseline schedules and keep them current
(a vital element in our claims avoidance program). Field Schedulers review the
contractor's initial schedule submittal and the schedule of values. Monthly updates
are required from the contractors, which must also be reviewed. Progress claimed
by the contractors must be reviewed against the schedule plan each month for
payment, and any request for additional time through change orders must be
analyzed.
Engineering & Construction Management(Division 760)
IPMC is providing personnel to augment the Sanitation District's Engineering and
Construction Management (E&CM) staff. E&CM is responsible for providing all the
technical resources to the Project Managers. General assignments and duties are as
follows:
• Eight Resident Engineers/Construction Managers (Collins, Haid, Bryan, Bomkamp,
Davis, Rein, Waite, Vohra) to support construction management of CIP projects
within the boundaries of the Sanitation District's two operating treatment facilities.
They will utilize existing Sanitation District CM policies and procedures to represent
the Sanitation District, coordinate construction activities, manage the construction
contract, and document contractor compliance with the contract requirements.
• Four Resident Engineers (Cuellar, Bomberger, two new hires) to support
construction management of CIP projects outside of the plant boundaries, i.e., for
pipeline and pump station contracts. They will utilize existing Sanitation District CM
policies and procedures to represent the Sanitation District, coordinate construction
activities, manage the construction contract, and document contractor compliance
with the contract requirements.
• Five Electrical and Instrumentation & Control (I&C) Engineers (Carey, Woods,
Etemadi, Lai and new hire). These Engineers are assigned to the CIP projects to
provide specialized technical support to the project teams during both the design
and construction phases. They ensure consultant and construction contractor
compliance with Sanitation District requirements, guidelines, and polices.
• Four Project Engineers (Schock, Nazemi, Aghanian, Shah). Project Engineers
serve as the technical leads within the Sanitation District's project teams, and assist
the PMs with verification of the project elements, coordinating project requirements
with the O&M Department, developing the design consultant SOW, selecting the
design consultant, and ensuring the construction documents are prepared using the
Sanitation District standards. During the construction phase, they resolve design
questions and issues for the Resident Engineers.

• Two Civil Designers/Computer Assisted Design & Drafting (CADD) Technicians
(Tran, Beltran). The Civil Designer/CADD Technician supports the Fast Track
Projects group. CADD technician also provides drafting support as directed.
• Three Civil Inspectors (Martin, Sankar, one new hire) to support Quality Assurance
of pipeline and pump station projects. They will utilize existing Sanitation District QA
policies and procedures to represent the Sanitation District, coordinate construction
and traffic control activities, monitor construction site safety, and document
contractor compliance with the contract requirements.
• Five Civil Inspectors (Chemotti, Gilbert, Hough, Jimenez, one new hire), three
Electrical Inspector (Whitney, Chappell, one new hire), and two Instrumentation &
Control Inspector (Stewart, one new hire) to support Quality Assurance of CIP
projects within the two Treatment Facilities. They will utilize existing Sanitation
District QA policies and procedures to represent the Sanitation District, coordinate
construction and O&M activities, monitor construction site safety, and document
contractor compliance with the contract requirements.
• Three Tunnel Inspectors (Byers, Daniel, one new hire) to support Quality Assurance
of CIP 1-10A tunnel and pipeline project. They will utilize existing Sanitation District
QA policies and procedures to represent the Sanitation District, coordinate
construction and traffic control activities, monitor tunnel construction site safety, and
document contractor compliance with the contract requirements.

for P1-102 and P2-90) to provide a variety of administrative support including
Submittals/Document Clerks (Yousef, Hays, Corona) for processing and tracking of
construction contractor submittals; Project Administrative Assistants (Gonzales, two new
hires)for processing project correspondence and filing; general administrative support
(Marquez) for processing PM correspondence, Agenda Reports, and preparing policy and
procedures manual.
Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Coordination:
The O&M Department provides technical support to the Engineering Department during
design and construction of CIP projects. IPMC will provide three Project Engineers
(Takahashi, Sharma and New Hire) to coordinate input from O&M technical staff, and to
represent O&M at the various design and construction meetings. This support frees up
the O&M staff to perform their regular duties.
Home Office Support:
"Home Office Support" is supplementary services from the offices of the Joint Venture
Parties, Parsons, and CH2MHill, made readily available to support the needs of the
Engineering Department. Technical study (task orders) work is based on providing
engineering and other technical support for specific assignments using a pre-agreed
upon scope of work, fee, and schedule. These tasks will be as authorized by the
Director of Engineering when required, and.may include assistance in the following
areas:

preparing conceptual layouts and design for a visitor space plan for the
Administration Building.
• Expedition Training and Implementation —assist in training on web-based Expedition
and developing a construction dashboard.
• PCS troubleshooting and upgrades—assist IT in maintaining the PCS system and
upgrades.
• General technical support—throughout the year issues come up which need
immediate attention and technical support. For example, in FY 05/06 we completed
the biosolids hauling study, and SARI pipeline realignment study.
ALTERNATIVES
Increase the Sanitation District's permanent Staff—This option would require a lengthy
process and extensive effort to recruit, hire, train, and make productive a large number
of new employees. It is also projected that staffing needs will vary from year to year,
and that after the completion of the consent order work, the Sanitation District will not
need these permanent staff to manage the future CIP. This option would not be
optimum for filling these varying needs.

SUMMARY
The Directors of Operations and Maintenance, Finance and Administrative Services,
and Technical Services request the Board's approval of the individual sole source
procurement of the goods and services described in this agenda report. The products
are required to maintain, service, or replace existing OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) equipment in OCSD facilities that cannot be substituted due to
functionality and integration with existing systems, or are available from only one
source.
Each of the goods or services is provided by a "provider of goods or services" (i.e.,
manufacturer) which has consistently been "determined to be uniquely qualified to
provide specialized goods or perform specialized services," as described in Section
Form No.ow toz-x �aeeO=W
Page 2
3.10.A. of the Delegation of Authority, Resolution 07-04. These goods and services
may also meet other OCSD criteria allowing sole source procurement. The Board's
approval would not affect staffs ongoing obligations under Section VI of the Delegation
of Authority, which requires reporting and/or approval of certain agreements regardless
of whether they are sole source agreements. The purchasing and bidding procedures
in Article IV of the Delegation of Authority will also continue to be implemented when the
goods or services can be supplied by multiple vendors. Staff is committed to constantly
look for alternative providers and to readdress proprietary issues as warranted.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
NA
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Section 3.10.C. of the Delegation of Authority states that "all sole sources shall require
pre-approval from the requesting Department Head, the Contracts/Purchasing Manger
and the Director of Finance." The District has established internal procedures for
implementing this requirement which have proved unnecessarily cumbersome. District
staff could defensibly establish a one-time staff pre-approval of the sole source
procurements described in order to minimize repetitive staff approvals. However, to
maximize transparency, District staff seeks the Board's approval of the listed sole
source procurements.
Two alternatives to staffs recommendation are possible. The Board could direct staff
not to change the District's internal procedures regarding sole sourcing, which would
perpetuate current inefficiencies. Alternatively, the Board could instruct staff to change
the District's internal procedures regarding sole sourcing without Board consultation.
The recommended action is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act under Public Resource Code Sections 15060 and 15378 because the action will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
The sole source procurements requested in this Agenda Report are approximately
13.6% of the District Maintenance and Repairs budget

Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Technical Services
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, 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 adopt 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.
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.

ORDINANCE NO. OCSD-31
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
ESTABLISHING WASTEWATER DISCHARGE
REGULATIONS, AND REPEALING ORDINANCE
NO. OCSD-01
The Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) does
hereby FIND:
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 et 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; and,
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 OCSD 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,
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, and,
D. That the OCSD, 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
Page 1 of 83
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,
E. That in June 2002 the OCSD completed the Interim Strategic Plan Update
(ISPU) which further updated these critical factors and developed revised cost
estimates and user fee projections for upgrading the OCSD's level of treatment to
secondary standards. On July 17, 2002, after reviewing: (1) the ISPU treatment
alternatives, (2) ocean monitoring data, (3) public input, (4) regulatory issues, and
(5) financial considerations, the Board of Directors made the decision to upgrade
our treatment to meet secondary treatment standards; and,
F. That the OCSD is required by federal and state law, including the Clean
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251, et sea.), the General Pretreatment Regulations (40
C.F.R. 403), and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Water Code
Sections 13000 et sea.), to implement and enforce a program for the regulation of
wastewater discharges to the OCSD's sewers; and,
G. That the OCSD is required by federal, state and local law to meet applicable
standards of treatment plant effluent quality; and,
H. 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) and
categorically exempt pursuant to California Code of Regulations Sections 15307
and15308.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation
District does hereby ORDAIN:
Section I: Wastewater Discharge Regulations governing the use of OCSD
sewerage facilities are hereby enacted to provide:
Page 2 of 83
ARTICLE 1
GENERAL PROVISIONS
101. PURPOSE AND POLICY
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 [U.S.C.] section 1251 at seq.) and
the General Pretreatment Regulations (Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations [CFR] 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 the OCSD 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, 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 OCSD
to meet applicable standards of treatment plant effluent quality, biosolids
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 OCSD's sewerage systems, processes, effluent
quality, biosolids quality, air emission characteristics, or inhibit the OCSD's
ability to beneficially reuse or dispose of its treated wastewater, biosolids
or meet biosolids 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 OCSD's
intent to limit future increases in the quantity (mass emission) of waste
Page 3 of 83
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 OCSD 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 OCSD is committed to a policy for the beneficial use of
biosolids, the implementation of programs to land-apply or provide for the
marketing and distribution of biosolids may necessitate more stringent
quality requirements on wastewater discharges.
F. Since the OCSD is also committed to meet applicable air quality goals
established by the South Coast Air Quality Management OCSD, 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

302.6 Class 1 Permit Charge for Use
A. The purpose of a charge for use is to ensure that each recipient of
sewerage service from the 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 OCSD
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 OCSD. Annually, the
OCSD 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
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
OCSD for the property for which a permit has been issued by the OCSD.
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.
Page 32 of 83
C. Current property tax bills shall be supplied by the permittee to the OCSD
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 OCSD will endeavor to obtain the data. Data obtained by the OCSD
will be considered correct and will not be adjusted before the next annual
reconciliation statement. There shall be a fee levied for the OCSD
administrative costs when ad valorem property tax or sanitary sewer
service charge data are obtained by the OCSD. The amount of the fee
shall be adopted by the OCSD's Board of Directors.
D. In order for the OCSD to determine actual annual water use, the user
shall provide to the OCSD 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 OCSD will endeavor to obtain the water use
data. Data obtained by the OCSD will be considered correct and will not
be adjusted before the next annual reconciliation statement. There shall
be a fee levied for OCSD administrative costs when the OCSD obtains
water use data. The OCSD'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 = VOV+ 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,Ba,Sa = Unit Charge rates established and adopted by Ordinance of
the OCSD'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
Page 33 of 83
r
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 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 Vo,
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 BOD of the wastewater and the
parameter of measure. This relationship shall be used by the 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. 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
Page 34 of 83
averaging the number of people employed at the beginning and end of
each quarter, or other period that reflects normal employment fluctuations.
303. CLASS II WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMITS

Page 39 of 83
C. Current property tax bills shall be supplied by the permittee to the OCSD
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 OCSD will endeavor to obtain the data. Data obtained by the OCSD
will be considered correct and will not be adjusted before the next annual
reconciliation statement.
There shall be a fee levied for OCSD administrative costs when ad
valorem property tax or sanitary sewer service charge data is obtained by
the OCSD. The amount of the fee shall be adopted by the OCSD Board
of Directors.
D. In order for the OCSD to determine actual annual water use, the user
shall provide to the OCSD 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 OCSD will endeavor to obtain the water use
data. Data obtained by the OCSD will be considered correct and will not
be adjusted before the next annual reconciliation statement.
There shall be a fee levied for OCSD administrative costs when water use
data is obtained by the OCSD. The amount of the fee shall be adopted by
the OCSD Board of Directors.
E. The charge for use shall be computed by the following formula:
Charge for Use = V.V + 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
Va,B.,S. = Unit Charge rates adopted annually by Ordinance of the
OCSD'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
Page 40 of 83
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.
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 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 Vo,
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
other parameter of measure. This relationship shall be used by the 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.
Page 41 of 83
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.

ARTICLE 5
MONITORING, REPORTING, NOTIFICATION,
AND INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
501. MONITORING AND REPORTING CONDITIONS
A. Monitoring for Annual Charge for Use
The wastewater constituents and characteristics of a discharger needed
for determining the annual charge for use shall be submitted in the form of
self-monitoring reports by the user to the OCSD, if requested. The
frequency of analyses and reporting shall be set forth in the user's permit.
The analyses of these constituents and characteristics shall be by a
laboratory acceptable to the OCSD, and at the sole expense of the
permittee. Analyses performed by OCSD's personnel may used in the
determination of the annual charge for use.
B. Monitoring for Compliance with Permit Conditions or Reporting
Reguirements
The OCSD may require reports for self-monitoring of wastewater
constituents and characteristics of the discharger needed for determining
compliance with any limit or requirements as specified in the user's permit,
Federal or State Regulations, or this Ordinance. These reports include:
(1) Baseline Monitoring Reports.
(2) Compliance Schedule Progress Reports.
(3) 90-Day Compliance Reports.
(4) Periodic Reports on continued compliance.
(5) Notification of the Discharge of Hazardous Waste.
(6) Other reports as required by the OCSD.
Monitoring reports of the analyses of wastewater constituents and
characteristics shall be in a manner and form approved by the OCSD and
shall be submitted upon request of the OCSD. When applicable, the self-
monitoring requirement and frequency of reporting may be set forth in the
user's permit as directed by the OCSD. The analyses of wastewater
constituents and characteristics and the preparation of the monitoring
report shall be done at the sole expense of the user.
Page 54 of 83
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user must notify
the OCSD within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the
violation. The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and
submit the results of the repeat analysis to the OCSD within thirty (30)
days after becoming aware of the violation. Resampling by the industrial
user is not required if the OCSD performs sampling at the user between
the time when the initial sampling was conducted and the time when the
user or OCSD receives the results of this sampling, or if the OCSD has
performed 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 OCSD constitutes a violation of this
Ordinance, may result in determining whether the permittee is in
significant noncompliance, and be cause for the OCSD to initiate all
necessary tasks and analyses to determine the wastewater constituents
and characteristics for compliance with any limits and requirements
specified in the user's permit or in this Ordinance. The user shall be
responsible for any and all expenses of the OCSD in undertaking such
monitoring analyses and preparation of reports.
501.1 Inspection and Sampling Conditions
A. The OCSD may inspect and sample the wastewater generating and
disposal facilities of any user to ascertain whether the intent of this
Ordinance is being met and the user is complying with all requirements.
B. The OCSD shall have the right to place on the user's property or other
locations as determined by the OCSD, such devices as are necessary to
conduct sampling or metering operations. Other sampling locations may
include downstream manholes, usually in the sewerage system, for the
purpose of determining the compliance status of an industrial or
commercial discharger.
C. In order for the OCSD to determine the wastewater characteristics of the
discharger for purposes of determining the annual use charge and for
compliance with permit requirements, the user shall make available for
inspection and copying by the OCSD all notices, self-monitoring reports,
waste manifests, and records including, but not limited to, those related to
production, wastewater generation, wastewater disposal, and those
required in the Federal Pretreatment Requirements without restriction but
subject to the confidentiality provision set forth in Section 103 herein. All
Page 55 of 83
such records shall be kept by the user a minimum of three (3) years.
D. If a discharger falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any
monitoring device or sample collection method, the discharger may be
subject to imposition of penalties, permit suspension or permit revocation.
501.2 Analytical Requirements
All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques, to be submitted as
part of a wastewater discharge permit application or report shall be
performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR Part
136 and amendments thereto, unless otherwise specked in an applicable
categorical Pretreatment Standard. If 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain
sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, or where
the EPA determines that the Part 136 sampling and analytical techniques
are inappropriate for the pollutant in question, sampling and analyses
shall be performed by using validated analytical methods or any other
applicable sampling and analytical procedures, including procedures
suggested by the General Manager or other parties approved by EPA.
501.3 Right of Entry
A. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or
discharged shall allow the OCSD, or its representatives, reasonable
access to all parts of the wastewater generating and disposal facilities for
the purposes of inspection and sampling during all times the discharger's
facility is open, operating, or any other reasonable time. No person shall
interfere with, delay, resist or refuse entrance to authorized OCSD's
personnel attempting to inspect any facility involved directly or indirectly
with a discharge of wastewater to the OCSD's sewerage system.
B. Where a user has security measures in force, the user shall make
necessary arrangements so that personnel from the OCSD shall be
permitted to enter without delay for the purpose of performing their
specific responsibilities.
501.4 Notification of Spill or Slug Loading
A. In the event the discharger is unable to comply with any permit condition
due to a breakdown of equipment, accidents, or human error, or the
discharger has reasonable opportunity to know that his discharge will
exceed the discharge provisions of the user's permit, Sections 201(A) &
(B) or Table I, Local Discharge Limits, the discharger shall immediately
notify the OCSD by telephone. If the material discharged to the sewer
has the potential to cause or result in a fire or explosion hazard, the
discharger shall immediately notify the local fire department and the
Page 56 of 83
OCSD.
B. Confirmation of this notification shall be made in writing no later than five
(5) working days from the date of the incident. The written notification
shall state the date of the incident, the reasons for the discharge or spill,
what steps were taken to immediately correct the problem, and what steps
are being taken to prevent the problem from recurring.
C. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage
or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage or loss to
the OCSD or any other damage or loss to person or property; nor shall
such notification relieve the user of any fees or other liability which may be
imposed by this Ordinance or other applicable law.
501.6 Notification of Bvoass
A. Bypass of industrial wastewater to the sewerage system is prohibited.
The OCSD may take enforcement action against the user, unless:
1. Bypass was unavoidable because it was done to prevent loss of
life, personal injury, or severe property damage;
2. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use
of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes,
elective slow-down or shut-down of production units or
maintenance during periods of production downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment could have
been feasibly installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventative maintenance; and
3. The permittee submitted notices as required under Section
501.4(B).
B. If a permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit a
written request to allow the bypass to the OCSD, if possible, at least ten
(10) days before the date of the bypass.
C. The OCSD may approve an anticipated bypass at its sole discretion after
considering its adverse effects, and the OCSD determines that the
conditions listed in Section 501.5(A)(1-3) are met.
D. A permittee shall provide telephone notification to the OCSD of an
unanticipated bypass that exceeds its permitted discharge limits within
four hours from the time the permittee becomes aware of the bypass. A
written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time the
Page 57 of 83
ermittee becomes aware or could reasonably have been aware of the
P Y
bypass. The report shall contain a description of the bypass and its
cause; the duration of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and, if
the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to
continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent
recurrence of the bypass. Failure to submit oral notice or written report
may be grounds for permit revocation.

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, ft 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.

1. The CIP increased by $400M, from $1.94B to 2.38B. ,1
2. Additionally, Operations costs increased by $400M, from $1.3B 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.
Backaround
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 multi-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. Post 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
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-BRH:pj:201660:04/20/05 3
OCSD.ADB 4125/07
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 et 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
w5&S-BRH:pj20166D:0420/05 4
OCSD-ADB 425/07
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
wsas-Bw+:pl:201660:0e¢0ros 5
OCSDADB 4/25107
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-
30B, 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 MID 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
WSSS-BRH:pl:201660:0420/06 6
OCSD.ADB 42M7
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, noncompliance
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, 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.

ARTICLE 11
SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
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
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 2.0313 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
wSSS-BRH:pl:201880:0420/05 8
0CSD-ADB425/07
(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.
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 property 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 ; or
(3) A clerical error has been made.
D. Limitations Period. Applications for rebates and
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
WS&S-BRWPJ:201660:0420105 9
OCSMDB 4/25107
adopted herein are changed by District Ordinance. There shall be no proration of
such charges in any fiscal year.
Section 2.05. Method of Collection.
A. Pursuant to the authority granted by California Health &
Safety Code Section 5473, and except as otherwise provided in Subparagraph
2.05B below, all sanitary sewer service charges established herein shall be
collected on the County Tax Roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and
at the same time as, together with, and not separately from, its general taxes.
The County Tax Collector is authorized and hereby ordered to make said
collections in accordance with the terms and conditions of agreements between
the County of Orange and the District.
B. In the event District determines that, due to billing or
payment error, or to inequity in the amount billed, a property owner has
underpaid annual Sanitary Sewer Service Charges payable to District, District,
within four (4) years after the date of mailing of the tax bill, may:
(1) collect the amount of any deficiency directly on the
County Tax Roll;
(2) off-set the amount of any deficiency against any
amounts that District determines is owing, by District, to the property owner, as a
rebate or refund under this Ordinance; or
(3) submit, directly to the property owner, a bill for the
amount of any deficiency, which shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days
of the invoice date and which, if not paid, shall become a lien on said property.
Section 2.06. Credit for Industrial Permittees. A credit shall be
allowed to all dischargers permitted pursuant to Article 3 of District Ordinance
No. OCSD-01, as amended, in an amount equal to the annual Sanitary Sewer
Service Charge established by Section 2.02 of this Ordinance, in the same
manner as credit is allowed for ad valorem taxes pursuant to Sections 302.6(B),
and 303.6(B) of District Ordinance No. OCSD-01, as amended.
Section 2.07 Open-Air Facilities. Sanitary Sewer Service Charges
for open-air facilities will be based on annual attendance records. Open-Air
facilities will pay a rate per million gallons based upon the related sewage flow,
Biochemical Oxygen Demand ('BOD") and Suspended Solids ("SS") charge for
single family residences. The usage per attendee will be 15 gallons.

CAPITAL FACILITIES CAPACITY CHARGES
Section 3.01. Purpose and Scone. The purpose of this Ordinance
is to impose Capital Facilities Capacity Charges when properties, either newly-
conned 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

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Ordinance No. OCSD-33, An Ordinance of the Board of Directors of Orange County
Sanitation District 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 adopt Ordinance No. OCSD-33, An Ordinance of the Board of Directors
of Orange County Sanitation District Adopting Fees, Revised Procedures and
Policies Concerning Annexation of Properties to the District and Repealing
Ordinance No. OCSD-29.
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
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 connect 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 connect to a public sewer and residents that do not
have an immediate need to replace their septic tanks.

ORDINANCE NO. OCSD-33
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT ADOPTING FEES, PROCEDURES,
AND POLICIES CONCERNING ANNEXATIONS OF TERRITORY TO
THE DISTRICT, AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. OGSD-29
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District ("District")
has previously adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-29 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 Calffomia
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 XIIID 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 Ad 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
service, and shall, as a condition to securing approval of the Board of Directors of the
District to such annexation, agree to and comply with the following requirements:
A. Payment of all administrative costs incurred by the District in processing the
annexation.
B. Payment of annexation acreage fees, as follows: Beginning January 1, 2004, the sum
to be paid for annexation of territory to the District for which no tax exchange is
negotiated between all affected agencies is hereby fixed:
Consolidated Revenue Area Nos. 1-13: $4,235/acre
Revenue Area No. 14: N/A
C. The annexed territory shall be subject to the terms and conditions of all Ordinances
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
facilities capacity charges, and sewer service user fees.
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-29 is repealed effective upon the effective date of

Section 8: That the Clerk 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.

v
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: INCLUDING ANNUAL SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES ON
THE 2007-08 PROPERTY TAX BILL
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 07-09, directing the County Tax Collector-Treasurer to
include sanitary sewer service charges on the 2007-08 property tax bill.
SUMMARY
Section 5473 of the California Health & Safety Code provides that sanitary sewer
service charges may be collected as a separate line item on the annual property tax bill.
The District has utilized this method of fee collection since the inception of these fees.
The two principal benefits of this collection method are that the District does not need to
develop or fund a utility billing division, and that failure to pay these fees results in a lien
against the property, so all fees are ultimately received.
The Code requires a new Resolution from the District directing the County Tax Collector
to collect these fees every time the rates change. The rates for FY 2007-08 are
scheduled to be adopted at this May Board meeting by approval of Ordinance No.
OCSD-32.
The County Tax Collector-Treasurer charges us for a copy of the database, updates,
and for minor programming. The County Auditor charges us, via deduction from fees
collected, for the actual collection expenses. Annual collections costs are 0.3 percent of
the total sewer service fee, or approximately $400,000.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
Resolution No. OCSD 06-13B directing the county tax collector to include the sewer
service fees for FY 2006-07 was adopted at the regular adjourned meeting held

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT DIRECTING THE COUNTY TAX
COLLECTOR TO INCLUDE SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
ON FISCAL YEAR 2007-08 PROPERTY TAX BILLS AND REPEALING
RESOLUTION NO. OCSD 06-13B
The Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District does hereby find:
A. By adoption of Ordinance No. OCSD-32, the Board of Directors elected to
adopt, impose, and collect rates and charges for sanitary sewer services and facilities
provided by the District and established procedures related thereto. The sanitary sewer
service charges were set by Ordinance No OCSD-32.
B. California Health & Safety Code Section 5473 provides that such
charges, as adopted by District Ordinance, may be collected on the County tax roll in the
same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with, and not
separate from, its general taxes.
C. As part of the budget preparation process, the District's Management has
prepared financial and engineering reports, setting forth financial projections for
providing the wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services and facilities to the
District's service areas for Fiscal Year 2007-08. The charges established by Ordinance
No. OCSD-30B reflect an allocation of the costs of operation and maintenance, such that
the charges do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs to provide the wastewater
collection, treatment, and disposal services and facilities, and the revenues received are
not used for any other purpose.
D. Pursuant to California Constitution Article XIIID (Proposition 218), as of
July 1, 1997, sanitary sewer service charges may be deemed to be charges for property-
related services. The sanitary sewer service charges set by Ordinance No. OCSD-32
comply with the provisions of Article XIIID, in that they do not exceed the cost to the
District to provide the service and facilities. The charges are imposed exclusively to
finance the capital costs, maintenance, and operating expenses of the District's sewer
facilities.
NOW, THEREFORE,the Board of Directors of Orange County Sanitation District,
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER:
Section 1: That the rates and charges set forth in Ordinance No. OCSD-32
are affirmed herein by the Board of Directors, as consistent with the findings
hereinabove stated, for Fiscal Year 2007-08, in the following amounts:
1
Annual Sanitary Sewer Service User Fees '
Residential Users
Fiscal Year 2007-08
SFR $182.00
MFR $127.40
SFR = Single Family Residential
MFR=Multi-Family Residential
All properties located within Revenue Area 14 pay no annual service fees. District costs
relating to providing service to these properties are billed by OCSD directly to the Irvine
Ranch Water District, the local agency providing the local sewer service.
Section 2: That pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 5473,
the County Tax Collector is hereby ordered and directed to include sanitary sewer
service charges, as adopted by Ordinance No. OCSD-32, in the same manner, by the
same persons and at the same time as, together with, and not separately from, the
general taxes; and that such sanitary sewer service charges be included in the annual
property tax bills for Fiscal Year 2007-08.
Section 3: That pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 5473,
this Resolution shall remain in full force and effect until amended or repealed, or until
such time as the rates of sanitary sewer service charges, as established by Ordinance
No. OCSD-26, are changed by increasing the annual rate.
Section 4: That the General Manager, or his designee, be, and is hereby
authorized and directed, to execute any necessary documents or agreements to effect
the order set forth in Section 2 herein.
Section 6: That Resolution No. OCSD 06-13B is hereby repealed.
