ALL DISTRICTS The Joint Chairman reported that for
Public Hearing on Draft Program EIR the past two years a team of
on Collection, Treatment and consulting experts and staff have been
Disposal Facilities Master Plan engaged in a comprehensive evaluation
of the engineering, environmental ,
public health, social and economic aspects of the County -Sanitation
Districts' plan of action for their wastewater management program for the
next 30 years.
He advised that one of the major elements of the "Action Plan" has been the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report that will be used as the basis
for application to the EPA and the Regional Water Quality Control Board for
renewal of the Districts' ocean discharge permit for the next five-year
period.
Mr. Smith stated that the purpose of the hearing was to receive public
commentary on the Draft Program Environmental but that the official comment
period remains open through May 30th. He added that it is not intended
that there will be any response to the public comments at the hearing that
evening. Rather, following the hearing, the Boards will direct the
consultants to address the oral and written comments received in the Final
Program Environmental Impact Report which will be considered by the Boards
at a later date.
Open Public Hearing
The Joint Chairman declared the hearing open at 7:42 p.m.
Summary of Draft Program EIR by
environmental consultant
The Chair recognized Mr. Curtis Spencer of Jones and Stokes Associates,
Inc. , the independent environmental consultant that prepared the Draft
EIR. Mr. Spencer briefly explained the Districts' function and
presented a five-minute video on its operations. He reported that the
Sanitation Districts serve 450 square miles of Metropolitan Orange
County from the Newport Beach-Irvine area north and west to county
lines. The Districts today serve a population of 1.8 million. Service
is provided by nine Sanitation Districts serving 23 cities and
unincorporated County territory within ,this highly urbanized area. The
Sanitation Districts treat an average of 260 millon gallons per day of
wastewater. The wastewater reaches the two treatment plants through
more than 800 miles of Sanitation Districts' sewers, fed by local sewers
in upstream communities.
Mr. Spencer further reported that the Districts control hazardous
materials entering sewers through an aggressive industrial toxics
source control program. Mr. Spencer stressed that this was an important
means of reducing toxics in wastewater and sludge.
All of the Districts' flows receive primary or advanced primary
treatment and about half receive secondary treatment. Seventy-five
percent of suspended solids reaching the plant are separated from the
waste stream before discharge and come off as a wet sludge. Chemicals
are also added to facilitate treatment and control odors.
-4-
5/17/89
k"
Mr. Curtis briefly described and showed the various treatment processes '
used by the Districts. The -residual solids called sludge are trucked to
disposal and reuse locations. About half of the sludge is disposed of
at landfills where it is mixed with municipal refuse. The balance of
the sludge is reused in agricultural applications to enhance soil
fertility. Composting and use as a soil amendment is also practiced. ' ''I
The video also showed the Districts' ocean outfall where treated :E'1
effluent is discharged from the plants to the ocean through a booster
pumping station pipeline and diffuser complex. The diffuser begins '"
discharging four miles offshore and extends another 6,000 feet, '
releasing effluent at depths from 170 to 195 feet. The underwater views
of the pipe structure showed the marine life that live on and around it.
He also advised that not all of the Districts' wastewater goes to the
ocean, up to 15 million gallons per day currently receive tertiary ''':_
E teatment and is reused for groundwater recharge and landscape
irrigation.
The consultant stated that the Sanitation Districts undertook
ji
preparation of an "Action Plan" study to evaluate how to best
accommodate future service demands and treatment requirements. The ' {' I''=
actions proposed to meet those future needs are evaluated in the
Environmental Impact Report, which he noted was the subject of the ',i`
meeting that evening. : ( .
Mr. Spencer then began his overview of the Draft Program Environmental
Impact Report on the Collection, Treatment and Disposal Facilites Master 0 ''I
f Plan. A slide presentation accompanied his report depicting the various
elements covered by the EIR. The Program EIR is just one element of the
Districts' 30-year "Action Plan" for wastewater management. This
"Action Plan" study began in 1987 with issuance of the Districts'
proposed "Action Plan for Balanced Environmental Management: Preserving
Orange County' s Coastal Ocean Waters" and incoporates a complete review
of the Sanitation Districts' activities includi h n t e followin

The consultant noted that all of these studies, programs and documents
will culminate in the Districts' application to the Environmental
Protection Agency and Regional Water Quality Control Board for a new
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit in
August 1989, for the next five-year period.

5/17/89
Mr. Spencer itemized the major facilities identified in the 30-year
Facilities Master Plan which could have environmental impacts including
trunk sewers, expansion of treatment plant capacity, a second ocean
outfall and additional satell.ite water reclamation plants.
He also defined some of the terminology used in the Facilities Plan and
EIR as a measure of treatment effectiveness and effluent quality. One
term commonly used is "Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) " which is a
laboratory test which measures the wastewater' s potential effect upon
the oxygen levels of a receiving water.
The treatment plants are expected to expand to 399 mgd capacity by 2020
to keep pace with the anticipated flow increases. These flow estimates
are based on the City and County general plans and are consistent with
the Southern California Association of Governments regional growth
projections. The consultant emphasized that treatment would be
provided, as necessary, to protect beneficial uses of the Pacific Ocean
and meet environmental regulations and permit requirements.
Mr. Spencer then reviewed the three alternative treatment levels under
consideration by the Boards of Directors to achieve the above-referenced
objectives, as follows:
SCENARIO NO. 1 - California Ocean Plan
° 30% Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Removal
• ° 75% Solids Removal
(One-third of flow would receive secondary treatment)
SCENARIO NO. 2 - Existing Permit Conditions
° 60% Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Removal
° 75% Solids Removal
(One-half of flow would receive secondary treatment,
same as existing concentration)
SCENARIO NO. 3 - Full Secondary Treatment (by 2005)
° 85% Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Removal
° 85% Solids Removal
The consultant continued with his summary of the proposed future
treatment facilities and operations that may have an impact on the
environment. With regard to sludge management, the Districts' objective
is to promote multiple, independent reuse alternatives and maintain at
least one reliable disposal alternative. He pointed out three possible
satellite water reclamation plants. Reclaimed water would be used for
groundwater recharge, landscape irrigation and industrial supplies.
The Districts are considering from one to three plants which would
supplement the existing Water Factory 21 and the planned Green Acres
Project, for a total reclamation capacity of 50 mgd.
-6-
5/17/89
Mr. Spencer reiterated that an important part of the "Action Plan" is
continuation of the toxics source control program. Under the Districts' ;
current program, heavy metals have decreased from over 2,000 pounds per '
day to 500 pounds per day, a 75% reduction over the last 12 years. A €'I
cornerstone of the Districts' "Action Plan" is continuation of the
aggressive source control program.
The cost of the proposed facilities included in the 30-year Facilities
Plan will be about $3 to 3.8 billion in 1989 dollars. Approximately '
half of that cost is for operations and maintenance over the 30-year
period. If the effects of inflation are taken into account, total costs
reach from $7 to over $9 billion at 5% inflation. The cost to the users
will increase from 1.5 to 3 times the current charges within the next
10-15 years. This will vary_ by service area and depending which t'
a Scenario of treatment level is selected by the Boards. ',
The consultant advised that the Program Environmental Impact Report
covers the entire Master Plan and evaluated the Master Plan facilities
in comparison to existing conditions relative to growth impacts,
construction impacts, resource impacts, operations impacts, public '
,° health and marine environmental issues. 5
� ,,,
Said EIR also addresses alternatives to meet the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act. The alternatives considered `°; ';'',
n i clude the three treatment scenarios, a no-project alternative, j '
18 reclamation sites, 36 sludge management alternatives and trunk sewer
alternatives. p
Mr. Spencer added that a Supplemental EIR would be necessary prior to
i construction of the second outfall , the reclamation plants and
interplant pipeline.
The "Do-Nothing Option" or no-project alternative would result in
significant adverse impacts, such as sewer overflows, inadequate sewage
1 treatment, environmental and public health impacts, construction ',, , '
moratoriums and fines against the Districts. ', ; '
He also addressed the growth-inducing issue in connection with plant
expansion. He concluded that sewerage system expansion is growth E
R inducing as defined by CEQA. However, he observed that the Sanitation
Districts do not have land use authority, responsibilities nor I '
mitigation responsibilities. The County of Orange and the cities do
have that authority and responsibility. Flow projections are based on
their land use plans. Growth and population projections used are
consistent with the projections of SCAG and SCAQMD. Mr. Spencer stated '; ' .!
that there is no difference between the treatment scenarios in terms of : ';'.j ''i
growth impacts.
Impacts resulting from construction of the proposed facilities were also
reviewed by the consultant. { '
' He pointed out that whenever waste is generated, it has to go somewhere.
There are only three media to assimilate wastes--air, land and water.
The EIR evaluated all of these. It found that all air quality �' c
standards would be met under all three scenarios. ;! ,
-7-
5/17/89
There would be a significant impact on the land from the additional
sludge resulting from higher treatment levels.
He noted that impacts on the water were especially important. Public
health is of primary concern. Environmental issues evaluated relative
to discharge to the Pacific Ocean included toxics, bacteria/viruses,
water quality, marine life, beneficial uses of marine environment, and
cumulative impacts of the Sanitation Districts' discharge considered in
context with other ocean dischargers. With respect to viruses and
bacteria, he pointed out that the EIR concludes for all three scenarios
the location and depth of the outfall and favorable current conditions
effectively preclude adverse impacts on public health.
Mr. Spencer reiterated that industrial toxics control will remain an
important part of the Sanitation Districts' program. He reviewed a
graph showing the beneficial impacts of the ongoing industrial waste
source control program. He added that there are no environmentally
significant differences between the three scenarios with respect to
discharge of toxics because of the source control program.
He reported that some of the remaining suspended solids may settle near
the diffuser including degradable organic matter, heavy metals and trace
toxicants. It was pointed out that the area of impact by deposition, as
estimated by change in feeding patterns of life forms near the
diffusers, was approximated to be 28 acres for Scenario 1, 18 acres for
Scenario 2, and 5 acres for Scenario 3. If the two outfalls were
• separated, the acreage impacted would only be about 1/3 of these
fiigures.
The consultant summarized the findings of the EIR indicating the
document addressed each of- the following major public health and
environmental issues:
° Toxics
° Bacteria/viruses
° Water quality
° Marine life
° Beneficial uses
° Cumulative impacts
Based on their study of the above issues, they concluded that they
predict no standards violations will occur for any of the three
scenarios, and expect no significant adverse marine impacts for any of
the three scenarios.
Water quality standards would be met by all three scenarios. Marine
life would be protected and there would be no significant adverse
impacts on beneficial uses. In looking at the cumulative impacts, they
looked at long-term trends and found a decreasing level of impacts for
the last decade. Mr. Spencer reiterated that the EIR indicates no
significant adverse impacts on the marine environment.
There would be significant increase in energy demands for the new
treatment facilities. The Districts do, however, produce energy from
digester gas. Under Scenario No. 1 the least energy would be required
to be purchased and Scenario No. 3 would require the most.
-8-
1
5/17/89 ''
Other resources affected by the various scenarios would be construction
! materials, chemicals used, personnel requirements and costs to
construct, operate and maintain additional facilities.
{ Mr. Spencer said that Jones & Stokes concluded that resource allocations h!
would increase, with Scenario No 3 requiring the greatest amount of
resources. The land impact increases with Scenario 3 also. The marine
environment impact decreases under Scenario 3. -
i"
He reiterated that the Draft EIR finds that all three scenarios meet
existing regulations; protect beneficial uses; and protect the
environment from significant impairment. Mr. Spencer stated that the ! -
Districts must weigh the tradeoffs of alternatives, balancing small ,',-
changes in the ocean against larger changes on land. p'
Receive and file written comments 'I'
It was moved, seconded and duly carried: y
That the written comments received from the persons listed on
Attachment 1 to these minutes relative to the Draft Program
Environmental Impact Report on the Collection, Treatment and Disposal
Facilities Master Plan, be, and are hereby, received and ordered filed.
Oral public comments
Chairman Smith reiterated that the purpose of the meeting was to receive J
comments on the Draft Program Environmental Impact Report. He requested
that their remarks be kept to approximately five minutes and that in the
interest of time that speakers not repeat previous commentary.
The Chair then recognized the following persons who addressed the Boards:
- Margaret Johnson, 19742 Shorecliff Lane, Huntington Beach
Mrs. Johnson stated that she represented the Huntington Beach
Homeowners Association as well as the American Cetacean Society and
that she was there to request the Boards to go to full secondary
treatment. She questioned the validity of the facts contained in the
EIR relative to biological community. She commented on her view of the ' °
ocean conditions based on her personal observations. She also
commented on the condition of the mouth of the Santa Ana River after a ; wall
heavy rain. ;
She also expressed concern relative to the sludge issue. She
"i questioned whether different levels of purity were required for the ',
sludges used for agricultural purposes and those that were discharged
`f into the ocean. Mrs. Johnson added that in her view the organisms in
the ocean are showing short and long-term changes, and she felt thati °; ,
something must be impacting them.
f - Shannon Jakosky, 1042 W. Bay Avenue, Balboa ''
Ms. Jakosky stated that she represented the Balboa community as well as ',',
the American Cetacean Society. Her comment was that she believed °
Orange County should strive to be the best that money can buy which, in
f her opinion, included the best sewage treatment available. She urged 1
full secondary treatment.
-9- I!f
5/17/89
Shannon Jakosky (Continued)
She also questioned whether data in the EIR was up to date quoting
surveys done in 1981, 1983 and 1984. Ms. Jakosky claimed that
information in the document relative to the Pinneped (sea lion)
community was inaccurate. She recommended that more current marine
samples be taken and analyzed. She commented that she believed that
toxicity, the public health issue and the marine environment were all
interdependent and she didn' t think that standard changes or any
damaging changes were acceptable.
- Moira Nonnweiler, 602 N. Linwood Avenue, Santa Ana
Ms. Nonweiler stated that she fully agreed with previous speakers. In
addition, she commented that she did not think the greater amount of
sludge produced under Scenari.o 3 was a significant disadvantage because
one year ago all sludge went to landfills and now 50% is being used for
agricultural purposes. She believed if that change could come about in
one year, more uses could be found in the future. She requested that
her recommendation for full secondary treatment be made a matter of
record.
- R. J. Schwichtenberg, 4141 Fireside Circle, Irvine
Mr. Schwichtenberg expressed concern for future generations with regard
to a clean environment. He felt it is a matter of cost and that this
area could afford to implement the best treatment method. He stated
that his recommendation was to do better than Scenario 3.
• - Ed Evans, 4793 Grace Avenue, Cypress
Mr. Evans stated he represented Coyote Creek Greens. He stated that he
didn't feel the EIR addressed a broad enough environmental range. It
does not discuss the full ethological consequences. It should be based
on bioregionalism. He indicated that human wastes should be controlled
at home, source reduction, and should be recycled and used for
agricultural purposes.
- Beth Leeds, 1645 Amoya Drive, Laguna Beach
Ms. Leeds stated that she is President of the Orange County "Save Our
Shores". She added that they believed that the projected growth of
Orange County from 1.9 million to 2.8 million within the next 30 years
will add to the degradation of the ocean, as well as the quality of
life in Orange County. Of paramount concern to her is the
capacity/growth issues and potential related health concerns. She
urged the public to find ways to clean up the environment and stop
future pollution. She opposed the 301(h) waiver and questioned whether
the no-project scenario wasn' t viable if the current system was
upgraded. Ms. Leeds reiterated that she was against any
growth-inducing projects.
- Bernard Lipman, 2208 Via Caliente, Fullerton
Mr. Lipman indicated that he was a concerned citizen and was also
representing the Orange County Group of the Sierra Club. The Sierra
Club has gone on record as opposing the 301(h) waiver from the
Environmental Protection Agency. He stated that the EIR does not
address the cumulative demands on the ocean from storm drains, nor the
effects of toxic dumping of dredge materials. He did not feel that the
Districts should discharge any wastewater into the ocean unless it
received secondary treatment.

i 5/17/89
?; -Bernard Lipman (Continued)
He also commented on the differences in heavy metal concentrations +j '
between Scenarios 2 and 3, and expressed his view that these materials
could cause a tremendous deleterious effect on the environment. With
regard to differences in cost of the scenarios, Mr. Lipman stated that
he felt -the additional sludge handling costs were minimal compared to '',
the total cost of the initial construction of facilities. ,
He concluded that the Sierra Club feels that full secondary treatment
of sewage is necessary.
- Scott Flodin, 200 E. 16th Street, Costa MesaI'III
Mr. Flodin stated that he represented the students of Orange Coast
College, more particularly the Marine Mammal Research Group on campus.
He agreed with previous comments. He also stated he believed that the
marine mammals off the coast are not being monitored adequately. He
referred to a 1984 survey listed in the EIR and stated that he felt
more recent data should be collected. He stated that if there is not a { �
fourth scenario, he would have to support Scenario 3.
f - John Hingtgen, 916 W. North, Anaheim ' �',I'
.} Mr. Hingtgen commented that he felt the graphs in the EIR were
misleading. In his opinion they appeared to minimize the differences
between the three scenarios. He pointed out several examples which he
felt distorted the information because of the scales used. He added _
j that he believed the EIR understates the benefits of going to full
secondary treatment while exaggerating the negative effects. Mr.
Hingtgen suggested a new EIR be prepared.
4 - Jim Bevington, 13761 Marquette Street, Westminster
Mr. Bevington indicated that he was a member of the Surf Rider ; 5' I
Organization of Orange County. He asked that it be recorded that he is { '
against the 301(h) waiver. We should utilize the best technology at
hand and use the best available treatment processes, he said. He ;' ''
'. believed the added cost would be worthwhile. He added that facilities ' `' ' IF
rwould have to be increased to meet the added demand by the year 2000 or
2020, and felt that the Districts should upgrade the facilities at the 9!� '
same time. He didn't think the people of Orange County would object to ffi
the additional cost. ;
S
Jerrell Lofton Moore, Jr. , 913 Huntington Street, Huntington Beach ',! j :
Mr. Moore agreed that the additional charge for full secondary y'V
treatment seemed like a small price to pay. He didn ' t think it was the
best solution but was the better one for now. He believed that
additional study must be done and new solutions found. Mr. Moore
added that secondary treatment is necessary in his view no matter whatIi '4, �,I .
the costs are. �,
Thomas Pratte (no address given)
1
Mr. Pratte stated that he was representing the Surf Rider Foundation.
He indicated that they felt the current 50% secondary treatment was
f inadequate. He noted that the EIR states that there is a 10-fold
difference between Scenario 2 and full secondary treatment with regard
to bacteria and viruses. He disagreed with those figures and observed 1
that he believed there are a lot of unknowns with regard to the �j I
viruses.
t ' E
5/17/89
Thomas Pratte (Continued)
He also questioned why it would take until 2005 to complete the full
secondary treatment facilities and whether it would be possible to
obtain that treatment before the year 2000. Mr. Pratte encouraged the
Sanitation Districts to take a very conservative approach towards
handling their wastewater. He stated that there are less impacts on
the marine environment with full secondary treatment, as well as less
bioaccumulation and, in his opinion, less risk to swimmers and surfers.
Close Public Hearing
The Joint Chairman then announced that there being no further oral
comments, he would declare the hearing closed at 9:07 p.m.
Mr. Smith reminded the attendees that there would be no response to the
community at this meeting. Rather, after the close of the official
