(5) REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR
There was no report.
(6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER
General Manager Don McIntyre asked to add an item to the Closed Session agenda, and General
Counsel also asked that the pending Walcon litigation be added to the Closed Session agenda. It was
moved, seconded and passed that the measures were of an urgent nature, and that they be added to
the Closed Session agenda for discussion.
(7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL
General Counsel did not make a report.
(8) STEERING COMMITTEE DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Early Retirement Opportunity
The General Manager updated the Committee on the results of this program to date, and
recommended that it again be presented to the Board in January for the effective period of
January through May 1999.
Action: This item will be added to the December Steering Committee agenda with a
detailed report for additional discussion.
C. Ranking Procedures for FY 99-00 Capital Improvement Projects
David Ludwin, Director of Engineering, reported that a team has been formed to develop a
methodology to screen new projects and prioritize them for the next CIP budget in an effort
to streamline and standardize the process. Subjectivity should not be eliminated from the
process.
Action: Staff was directed to bring a 'project' back to the Steering Committee that has been
run through the criteria.
D. Orange County Millenium Book
Michelle Tuchman, Director of Communications, reported on an outreach opportunity
through the County of Orange's Millenium Book. The Steering Committee directed staff to
purchase a single page at the rate of$3,000.
E. Agreement with Pickens Fuel Corporation re Operation of the Compressed Natural Gas
Station
Ed Hodges, Director of General Services Administration, discussed this project, which will
be dedicated this Friday, October 30. An agreement for accessing computer usage data
and the user-billing function is required. Signage and marketing activities also have to be
worked out. Any signage will require City of Fountain Valley approval.
Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting

October 28, 1998
Action: The agenda item drafted for the Steering Committee will be revised to include
information on other firms, besides Pickens Fuel Corp., that can also perform these
functions and submitted to the OMTS Committee in November for action.
F. Directors Workshop on Personnel Issues
Don McIntyre asked the Steering Committee members to consider scheduling a Directors
workshop in an effort to effect the culture changes needed to educate the full Board on the
compensation issues involved in re-engineering the District—where we came from, where
we are, and where we are heading—and resulting in a clear direction on how to achieve our
goals.
Action: The Steering Committee scheduled a special meeting on Wednesday,
November 18, at 3 p.m. to discuss this one issue in Closed Session. If consensus is
reached, a Directors Workshop on the issue will be held on Saturday, November 21. The
regular 5 p.m. Steering Committee meeting will not be held to allow sufficient time to discuss
this major issue.
B. Kern County Proposed Biosolids Ordinance
Blake Anderson, Assistant General Manager, updated the members on the Kern County
biosolids issue as well as the three alternatives available to the District. The draft MOU was
discussed. Blake will be providing a brief update to all of the Directors at the Board meeting.
Action: The Steering Committee passed a motion to support the numbers in the draft MOU.
A related item that staff was previously asked to consider—the possibility of purchasing land
for a composting site—was also discussed. Biosolids consultant, Charles Egigian-Nichols,
described an available parcel in Kern County that could be converted to a composting site,
and outlined some of the other issues required to operate a composting operation.
Action: The OMTS Committee shall consider forming a subcommittee at its next meeting to
discuss this idea in more detail before taking any further action.
G. The list of action items scheduled for consideration by the working committees in November
was reviewed. The FAHR Committee will not be meeting in November.
1. Proposed Addendum 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with CDM re Strategic
Plan, Phase 2, Treatment. Reuse and Disposal Facilities, Job No. J-40-3. Dave Ludwin
reported that most of the work included in this addendum has already been completed
because it was additional effort on contract items, not new work. He recognized and
apologized for the lapse in program management and has developed safeguards to
prevent this from happening again. The addendum and the new safeguards will be
discussed in detail at the November PDC Committee meeting.
(9) OTHER BUSINESS. COMMUNICATIONS OR SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA ITEMS, IF ANY

(5) REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR
Chair Burnie Dunlap did not make a report.
(6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER
Assistant General Manager Blake Anderson reported on several issues on behalf of the General
Manager, who was on vacation.
• Kem County Board Of Supervisors Extend Urgency Biosolids Ordinance: Last week the Kern
County Board of Supervisors approved an extension of the urgency ordinance to regulate the
transport, use, monitoring, and record keeping of biosolids in Kern County. Kem County staff
was directed to complete work on a permanent ordinance. They also rescinded the $5/ton road
mitigation fee, pending a supporting engineering report. A preliminary engineering report,
prepared by an independent engineering firm, Martin-Macintosh, set the cost of all of the
presently identified and needed road repair and upgrade costs at $15 to 16 million. The report
assumed that 100% of the road damage was a result of biosolids hauling activities.
General Counsel Tom Woodruff indicated that the actions being considered by the Kem County
Supervisors can be challenged, and there are a lot of cases that are similar with favorable
rulings.
Staff plans to meet with each of the supervisors, as well as the engineering fine that prepared
the traffic study.
Staff was directed to continue to follow this ever-changing issue and report to the Steering
Committee as necessary.
• Sewage Spill on Pacific Coast Hidhwav: Staff received a copy of the Newport Beach police
report on the Pacific Coast Highway spill. This spill resulted when a subcontractor to the gas
company drilled through our force main. The police report identified the city as the victim, the
Sanitation District as the suspect and the gas company as the witness. The report indicated
that the problem resulted because the sewer line was incorrectly marked on the road. Bob

Ghirelli is investigating what occurred in an effort to determine if standard reporting procedures
were followed. He will prepare a report on his findings and the Steering Committee will be
updated at the next meeting.
• Comprehensive Listing of the User Rate Changes: Director Collins previously asked the
Finance Department to provide a comprehensive listing of the user rate changes that all
permitted users will experience as a result of the newly adopted user rates. The report has
been placed in the Director's notebooks.
• Executive Management Team Retreat: The Executive Management Team will be conducting a day
and a half retreat on October 15 and 16. Discussion items include performance measurement
techniques, managing staff capacity against work plan and task demands, broad banding,
delegation of authority, DART and other reinvention initiatives throughout the District.
(7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL
General Counsel Tom Woodruff provided a heads-up to the Steering Committee members on a request
from the developer of the Boise Chica area, Hearthside Homes, to assign our existing agreement with
the landowner, Signal Boise, to a private water company that would provide sewer and water services.
The existing agreement with Signal Bolsa, the landowner, provides that the District has a duty to
service this area once the property is annexed to our service area. Mr. Woodruff outlined the options.
No action was required by the Steering Committee at this time.
(8) STEERING COMMITTEE DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Reciprocal Representation on SAWPA Commission and OCSD Board of Directors
Blake Anderson provided a briefing on the issues as requested by the Steering Committee in
May. SAWPA has a new general manager and a new chairman. At this time, the SAWPA
Commission is reconsidering its role in the region. The issues outlined in a draft White Paper
may no longer be relevant. Staff was directed to continue to monitor the situation, and when
SAWPA determines its role, revise the White Paper for further consideration by the Committee.
B. The action items scheduled to be considered by the working committees in October were
reviewed.

(10) COMBINED STEERING AND AD HOC COMMITTEES DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. CEOA Issues Related to GWRS Project.
OCWD's decision to proceed with 30% design before the EIR/EIS was adopted and before
the District's Directors have voted to support the project was questioned. General
Counsel indicated that preliminary engineering is not considered a project by CEQA. And
the action taken by OCWD was to procure a consultant for the preliminary engineering.
The actual work would probably not begin until after the EIR/EIS is certified because of the
time required to solicit an RFP, review and evaluate the proposals and then award a
contract.
B. Review Quarterly Schedule of Events for Strategic Plan.
There are no date changes since the last update. On November 5, the OCWD will release
the Draft EIR/EIS for the GWRS Project. The next GWR Joint Coordinating Committee
meeting is now scheduled for October 27. In November the regular GWR Joint
Coordinating Committee meeting has been changed to November 22.
(11) OTHER BUSINESS, COMMUNICATIONS OR SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA ITEMS, IF ANY
There were no other business, communications, or supplemental agenda items.

(15) CLOSED SESSION
The Committee convened at 6:17 p.m. in Closed Session, pursuant to Sections 54956.9(a)(2) and
54957, to discuss the General Manager's Evaluation and one item of significant exposure of
litigation against the District. Minutes of the Closed Session are on file with the Board Secretary.

AGENDA REPORT uSm NffT w Hari Numbs
Orange County Sanitation District L F1
FROM: Donald F. McIntyre, General Manager
Originator: Blake Anderson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding re Biosolids Delivery to Kern County
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize approval of a Cost-sharing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU),
between OCSD and Kern County, to help mitigate and repair Kern County roads
traversed by biosolids-hauling trucks. The MOU contains the following major
elements:
a. $2.12 per ton fee paid by OCSD for transported biosolids on impacted
roads;
b. Agreement that Kern County will conduct and fund a comprehensive traffic
impact study within twelve months; and
C. Prepayment of$750,000 to Kern County to be refunded via tonnage
credits over an approximate 5-10 year period.
2. Authorize General Counsel to approve MOU as to form.
SUMMARY
In July of this year, the Kern County Board of Supervisors directed its staff to draft three
ordinances for the Board's consideration. The three were: an ordinance that would ban
biosolids; an ordinance that would regulate the use of biosolids; and a fee ordinance
that would recover the costs of repairing the damage to Kern County roads caused by
trucking biosolids. These issues were subsequently and extensively discussed by the
Kern County Board of Supervisors on several occasions in open and closed sessions.
Orange County Sanitation District staff, Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts staff,
Los Angeles City staff and our consultants have worked together in a very intensive
effort to develop the most favorable terms achievable on these issues. Our primary
objective has been to preserve the long-term use of biosolids in Kern County for
agricultural purposes while maintaining, to the extent possible, a cooperative
relationship between the urban and agricultural counties of California. We have
negotiated with Kern County staff on a number of occasions since July and we have
communicated with the Kern County Board of Supervisors in their offices and in their
open sessions. We have successfully avoided the imposition of a ban, negotiated an
appropriate and achievable interim use ordinance that will effectively protect public
health and the environment, and have achieved conceptual agreement on the terms of
an MOU with Kern County. The proposed MOU would recover road impact costs
caused by biosolids trucking from the public wastewater treatment agencies that
generate biosolids outside of Kern County.
The proposed MOU would impose a $2.12 per ton fee for all out-of-county biosolids that
are transported on Kern County-owned roads for the purpose of agricultural use. This
rate would be adjusted to a more accurate pro rata cost sharing after a year-long study
of biosolids vs. non-biosolids truck traffic for the roads in question. The Los Angeles
County Sanitation Districts and the Orange County Sanitation District would each
prepay $750,000 in road impact mitigation fees at the time that a long-term use
ordinance is adopted by the Kern County Board of Supervisors. This prepayment would
be credited back to us over several years as 50% of the ongoing fees contemplated in
the MOU. (For us, the pay back would take approximately 5 years at a fee of$2 per ton
and 10 years at a fee of$1 per ton.) In the event that Kern County defaulted on the
terms of the MOU for reasons either within or outside of its control, then any remaining
prepayment would be refunded to us.
PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY
The Sanitation District presently delivers between 150,000 and 180,000 tons of
biosolids per year to Kern County. Most (but not all) travel on roads that are owned by
Kern County. Our contractors are in the process of developing traffic routing plans to
limit travel on Kern County roads, where practical. Assuming 180,000 tons per year, a
first year fee of$2.12 per ton, and everything transported on a Kern County road, the
maximum first twelve months fee would be $382,000. However, staff estimates that
traffic routing changes will reduce the impact fees on Kern County roads to
approximately 75% of this figure and the fee will apply to only 6 months of this fiscal
year. Therefore, the anticipated fee for this fiscal year is estimated to be $172,000. It
could be less. In addition, we would prepay $750,000 which would be credited back
over time, beginning in the second year and extending for between five and ten years
against 50% of the road impacts fee prevailing at the time.
BUDGETIMPACT
® This item has been budgeted. (Line Rem: )
❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds.
❑ This item has not been budgeted.
❑ Not applicable (information item)
The operating budget line item for biosolids disposal is $4.2 million for FY 98-99. We
presently anticipate spending this budgeted amount. The anticipated first year fee and
the prepay, (together totaling $0.92 million)when added to the expenditures to this line
item would represent a 22% overage. While the prepay of$750,000 can be rightfully
allocated to future operating years, accurately determining a sensible allocation formula
is not possible. We anticipate that the existing Joint Works Operating Budget, totaling
N My giypMM�SIEEFHG CpAM1ilEE�%VCT10]KlltenGBYUYb MW M.Grc
p,„,,, Page 2
just over$45 million, may have sufficient room to accommodate this unanticipated cost.
Therefore, staff does not recommend an amendment to the Joint Works Operating Fund
at this time.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The use of biosolids in California for agricultural purposes has increased dramatically in
the last decade. Prior to 1985, domestic reuse of bagged composted biosolids
products, ocean disposal and landfill disposal were the three predominate methods of
biosolids management utilized by the wastewater treatment plants of southern
California. Very little went directly to agricultural land.
All of this changed as the Orange County Sanitation District committed to 100%
beneficial reuse in our 1989 Master Plan, Los Angeles City discontinued ocean
disposal, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District began to look for alternatives
to landfill disposal. The much smaller wastewater agencies of Southern California
followed suit. Equally as important, the EPA adopted an extensive set of federal
regulations that established scientifically-based standards for the beneficial use of
biosolids in agriculture.
By 1995, nearly all of Southern California's biosolids were being utilized in agricultural
counties, primarily Kern, Kings, and Riverside. Agriculture has been the true beneficiary
of this change in practice. Free or nearly free soil amendments have increased yields
per acre and even reclaimed marginally productive land. Agriculture has profited from
the practice. On the other hand, public awareness increased exponentially in the
agricultural counties as each new ton arrived. Opposition increased quickly and loudly
through the telling and retelling of unfounded horror stories (mixed with a few true
accounts of some very poor application practices). Public concern rose to politically
unacceptable levels in some California counties. To date, bans have been enacted in
10 of California's 58 counties—all of them predominately agricultural. Unfortunately,
unified action by the wastewater community to educate the public and local government
policy makers has been slow in coming. And we probably have yet to see the worst of
the public reaction. It is for this reason that we value every beneficial use alternative we
now have available to us.
In Kern County, things were looking very good up until July of this year. There had
been a limited problem with wind blown biosolids and inadequate irrigation in the windy
and dry region of eastern Kern County, but Supervisor Steve Perez and Kern County
staff had things well under control. They were drafting a county-wide ordinance. The
ordinance was a combination of federal "Section 503" regulations, recently completed
California Manual of Good Practice (created by the wastewater agencies in cooperation
with Cal EPA and other interested parties), and the best advice from staff of the Orange
County Sanitation District, Los Angeles City's Bureau of Sanitation, and the Los
Angeles County Sanitation Districts. With significant input from a technical advisory
committee made up of Kern County interests, the evolution of the ordinance into a final
NWq.ftY w ISfEERING fAMMR1EEVBCCTIPNB9 Kem L"&n"f>MOU AR =
RaYN:BIM9B Page 3
version that would be adopted by the Kern County Board of Supervisors looked like a
done deal. While the other four supervisors had taken little notice of the ongoing public
participation process or the technical merits of the use of biosolids in Kern County, the
wastewater community was confident that Supervisor Perez's leadership would be
sufficient to shepherd the process to completion.
In July, the biosolids hit the fan. What started as a Board of Supervisors open session
discussion about El Nino-related road damage soon spun out of control to include
biosolids trucks, biosolids use, biosolids impacts, and agricultural "dead zones" caused
by the monstrously toxic effects of biosolids. No County staff with knowledge of the
pending biosolids ordinance were in the room and, because the agenda item under
discussion had everything to do with roads and nothing to do with biosolids, no
wastewater representatives were present either. The Supervisors directed staff to bring
back an ordinance to ban some or all types of biosolids and a road fee ordinance for
any biosolids that they proposed for exemption from the ban. A year's worth of
technical and public outreach work went up in smoke in ten short minutes.
At this point, top management staff from the three large agencies entered into the
discussions for the first time. This in not to imply that the technical staffs of the
agencies had done an inadequate job up to this point. Far from it. In fact, the
considerable progress we have achieved in the last three months is a direct result of the
trust and technical ground work they established in their dealings with Kern County staff
during the previous year.
The last few months have been intense, filled with countless hours of help from our
technical staffs and several consultants, and meetings with members of the Board of
Supervisors, key Kern County staff, carrot growers, water district interests, and other
interested parties. The issues represented by the use ordinance, the proposed ban,
and the fee ordinance occupied the agenda of four regular meetings of the Board of
Supervisors and an equal number of their closed executive sessions as well. In August,
the Board adopted a biosolids use ordinance on an urgency basis that is set to expire in
January. It is essentially the ordinance that had been in the process of being readied
for adoption prior to the July blow up. The Board also adopted a $5 per ton fee in
August, rescinded it in September, considered a $5.99 per ton fee in October and
directed Kern County staff to return with an analysis of a wastewater agency-proposed
fee structure in November.
Since July, the staffs of the three large wastewater agencies have agree, with varying
degrees of enthusiasm, that the communities causing cost impacts to the infrastructure
and administrative procedures of Kern County have some responsibility to pay for those
impacts. With approximately 40,000 truck loads of biosolids applied to Kern County
agricultural land every year, the county roads serving these agricultural parcels are
being impacted to some degree.
Also, it is evident, and quite understandable, that some agricultural interests, like carrot
growers, want to make the business decision of steering Gear of biosolids for the sake
N'.MNEbNYeM6l9fEENIXG LVMMIRFFBBbCTtb2lBB rmn G Bemla MdI M.Gx
Page 4
of public perception and marketability. That's fine with us. The demands of non-food
crops like sudan grass and cotton, for instance, are more than enough to provide a
viable and ample market for the reuse of biosolids. In fact, it has been estimated that
biosolids from urban Southern California would only satisfy 5% of the agricultural
nutrient demand for Kern County. Providing the carrot growers with the opportunity to
avoid biosolids amended land, and demonstrating to their buyers that they have,
requires a robust reporting, inspection, enforcement, and record-keeping system that is
administered by a county department. Fees associated with the urgency ordinance
appropriately provide the money to administer such a system.
With regard to impact fees associated with road damage, it is critical for the Orange
County Sanitation District's Board of Directors to note that there are some significant
constitutional and philosophical questions at play here. General Counsel has advised
that there is significant case law to support our resisting any road fee whatsoever that
Kern County might attempt to impose on us. In fact, the Kern County Taxpayers
Association and the California Trucking Association have both made it a matter of
record that they oppose the collection of any road fee. They asked the Kern County
Board of Supervisors to look to existing fuel tax and property lax revenues for
recovering costs due to the normal wear and tear on county roads caused by biosolids
trucking. They both also argued that a fee directed only at biosolids is, on its face,
discriminatory, and because it fails to have a solid technical basis on which to calculate
it, fails the Proposition 218 test.
The wastewater agencies were considering making these arguments against a road
mitigation fee a matter of public record, but chose not to because we knew that our
arguments could be made just as well by others.
The question for the Orange County Sanitation District's Board of Directors to decide is
whether to support the idea that it is fair and reasonable for the rate payers of our
service area to pay for the costs of roadway repair and administrative burdens that
would otherwise be paid from the general funds and road funds of Kern County.
Sanitation District staff believes that it is fair and reasonable to do so. There is
precedence enough here in Orange County to support this position. The host fees paid
to Brea and Irvine by Orange County to offset the traffic impacts of the County's landfills
is a case in point. The mitigation and impact fees charged developers for city impacts
are another example of the concept.
It was from this position that staff proposed the terms of the MOU that have been
described above. The best (and unfortunately inadequate) estimate of biosolids-related
cost impacts are contained in the hastily prepared report that was created by the
engineering firm, Martin Macintosh, headquartered in Bakersfield. The firm was hired
by the wastewater agencies to complete an independent survey of the truck traffic and
pavement conditions of the county roadways and to recommend a tonnage charge to
equitably recover the costs. The report is filled with assumptions unsubstantiated by
actual field data and uses cost recovery formulas based on unmeasured traffic counts.
Based on the foregoing, it concludes that biosolids carry a 73% pro rata share of the
H%x tlM genda�ERING GOMMRIEPBBWM0289 MMG 01gd MOU AR Jrc
ReNeef.0/R90 Page 5
i
responsibility of the road damage, and that cost recovery over a ten-year period would
require a $2.12 per ton fee on the biosolids traveling these roads.
Actual truck traffic counts and actual engineering field assessments of the roads in
question are necessary to establish a more accurate pro rate assessment of biosolids
trucking. This can be done, but will require either a year's planting and harvesting cycle
to count trucks, or a far more sophisticated accounting of the trucking activities that
typically occur on the roads in question. Both methods will take longer than the Kern
County Board of Supervisors is willing to wait. In the interim, if one buys the argument
that a fair and reasonable payment to Kern County is appropriate, then every month that
a fee decision is delayed is one more month that debts remain unpaid to Kern County.
It is for this reason that the wastewater agencies proposed a first year interim fee of
$2.12 per ton. We believe that an accurate assessment will result in a fee more on the
order of$1 per ton, but we won't really know until a more comprehensive assessment is
completed. $2.12 is a reasonable negotiated first year fee, considering where the
Board of Supervisors started.
The idea of a prepayment was first suggested by the wastewater agencies. The reason
for this suggestion was to acknowledge that there are existing and unmet road repair
needs that are impacting our operations, as well as all others who share the use of the
roads in question. Kern County staff have adequately described the shortfall of their
road repair budget in this and previous fiscal years. We thought it reasonable to
advance some of our fees with the understanding that these fees would be fully
recoverable in either the form of credits in future years or in a cash refund if
circumstances prevent us from future access to Kern County. In no case would the
prepayment be offered or paid without the wastewater agencies first receiving
reasonable assurance through the adoption of a final version of a use ordinance (and
not a biosolids ban) by the Kern County Board of Supervisors. The act of the Board to
adopt a tough but reasonable use ordinance that fully protects public health and the
environment is sound public policy we support. It regulates the transport, use,
monitoring, reporting and record keeping of biosolids use activities on agricultural land.
ALTERNATIVES
There are three alternatives:
1. That the Board of Directors authorize approval of a Memorandum of
Understanding between Kern County and Orange County Sanitation District for
purposes of sharing in the cost of repairing and mitigating the impact to certain
Kern County roads from biosolids truck delivery traffic, in a form approved by
General Counsel. This is the staff recommended alternative.
2. That the Board of Directors directs General Counsel to notify Kern County of our
intent to not pay road impact costs imposed by ordinance or other proposed
NMp.EbVpeMYlS1EEFIHG LpAMIf1EEW1CCT10]BB Wm GBM®lit NW M.Cec
pa,,,, Page 6
methodology and that we would take action up to and including relief in the
Courts to enforce our rights. We could very well prevail in this endeavor.
However, Kern County could devise other methods to collect the fees which are
legal or could seek legislative relief in Sacramento or Washington. In any case, a
long and protracted battle between urban and agricultural interests would serve
little constructive purpose and would do nothing to advance a spirit of
cooperation and mutual support.
3. That the Board of Directors directs staff to eliminate Kern County as an
alternative for managing biosolids. Other counties and other non-land based
alternatives are certainly within the realm of possibility. We, in fact, now take
15% of our biosolids to Kings, San Diego, or Riverside Counties. However,
these alternatives, if not now more expensive than Kern County, could in the
future become so. We would expect that if the wastewater agencies walk away
from Kern County (where the vast majority of southern California biosolids are
now used), there will be an immediate dislocation of the existing pricing structure
of biosolids management, and we will see price increases in the alternative
counties. Recent proposal cost for our sister agencies have ranged from $28.00
to $32.00 per wet ton. It is also unclear at this time how sustainable agricultural
use of biosolids will be if Kern County falls. As goes Kern County, so goes
California, and some say the Nation.
If Board of Directors directs staff to implement Alternative 3, the District has the
following non-Kem County biosolids management options currently available
under existing contracts Bio Gro, Pima Gro, and Tule Ranch.
Sites currently available at existinc contract rates
Bio Gro and Pima Gro have a permitted land base of approximately 9,000 acres
in western Riverside County and 4,000 acres in San Diego County. The District
and several Southern Californian POTWs, including San Diego, are currently
using these sites. A conservative estimate of the District's share of the capacity
on these sites is approximately 80,000 tons of biosolids per year. Unfortunately,
these sites are not a viable option during inclement weather. This capacity may
increase pending San Diego's decision to start landfilling biosolids in January
1999. Adverse regulatory activity may result from a drastic increase in biosolids
imported to Riverside County.
Tule Ranch has a land base of 1,808 acres in Kings County. A conservative
estimate of the District's share of the capacity on this site is approximately
30,000 tons of biosolids per year. This site provides the District with a viable
inclement weather biosolids management site. However, some of Tule Ranch's
Kern County sites directly adjacent to the Kings County line may not be
subjected to the road mitigation impact fee since they can be accessed without
using "county roads." Such a determination may result in an additional 2,680
acres available for management of District's biosolids. A conservative estimate
NMRa1a0^^yISIFFAdO LOMMIREflHTIX:I\1P39®Item Ce Bl®W MW M.!¢
A Page 7
of the District's share of the capacity on this site is approximately 45,000 tons of
biosolids per year. If the District were to enter into an agreement having sole
rights to Tule Ranch's Kings County site and the adjacent Kem County site the
capacity would be approximately 150,000 tons per year.
Sites currently available at increased rates
Bid Gro and Pima Gro have a permitted land base of approximately 1,000 acres
in eastern Riverside County. Capacity on this site is approximately 25,000 tons
of biosolids per year. This site provides the District with a viable inclement
weather biosolids management site. Biosolids management at this site would
cost approximately $30.00 per ton.
Additional biosolids management options currently available include Bio Gro's
ability to compost District's biosolids at their Arizona Soils composting site for
$38.00 per ton, Pima Gro's Arizona land application at$35.00 per ton, and
Landfilling in Arizona at $45.00 per ton. Pima Gro also expects to receive a
250-ton per day expansion at their Recyc composting facility in February 1999.
This could provide the District with a 90,000 ton per year biosolids management
option. Expected cost for this composting option is approximately $26.00 per
ton.
Assessment of other biosolids management alternatives such as other
contracting with other land application sites, and buying a farm and/or a
composting facility are being explored.
CEQA FINDINGS
To the extent that Kern County finds it necessary to comply with CEQA in its ordinance
adoption process they will do so. They will rely, somewhat, on the regulations of the
Regional Water Quality Control Boards, Lahontan and Central Valley Regions.

Orange County Sanitation District d Y�
FROM: Edwin E. Hodges, Director General Services Administration �X7
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH PICKENS FUEL CORP FOR THE OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE OF THE CNG REFUELING STATION
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the General Manager to enter into an agreement with Pickens Fuel
Corporation for the Operation and Maintenance of the CNG Refueling Station.
Summary
The District's CNG Refueling Station is due to become operational in November 1998.
Staff believes that it would be in the best interest of the District to outsource the
Operation and Maintenance of the station. Additionally, staff believes that Pickens Fuel
Corp. is best suited to take over the operation and maintenance function.
Pickens Fuel Corp. is a California corporation that owns or manages more than 40 CNG
stations in California and the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. They are the largest
natural gas fuel suppliers in the United States, with sales of more than 5 million gallons
annually. They process more than 3,000 transactions each day and bill more than
1,000 customers each month.
Some of their fleet customers include the United States Postal Service, United Parcel
Service, SunLine Transit, SuperShuttle, Waste Management, City of Irvine and the US
Marine Corp.
Under the terms of the agreement, Pickens Fuel Corp. will conduct all scheduled
maintenance as required on the compressor skid/controls, gas dryer, two fuel
dispensers and two card readers. The estimated monthly cost for weekly service to
these pieces of equipment is $900 per month, plus parts. Staff assumed that this work
would be outsourced when they prepared the original Performa analysis and included a
fee of$20,000 in year 1 and $18,000 in subsequent years to cover this cost. The
monies to pay for this work would come from the sale of CNG to public and private
fleets.
Additionally, Pickens will also operate the station for the District. Under the terms of this
portion of the agreement, Pickens would provide all of the training, issue credit
applications and fuel cards, take care of all billing and market the station to both public
and private sector fleets. The cost to provide these services will be $0.10 per gallon for
all sales at the District station.

Attached for your guidance and review is the Performa analysis showing the cost impact
of entering into an agreement with Pickens. Please note that the CNG station has a
payback in year seven and has a positive cash flow, which will only increase, with the
increase in marketing effort by Pickens Fuel Corp.
With the concurrence of the Steering Committee, staff will be bringing this forward to the
November OMTS committee. Ed Hodges, Director of General Services Administration,
will present a verbal report on this item.
PROJECTICONTRACT COST SUMMARY
The CNG refueling station is designed to pay for itself. The cost to operate and
maintain the station will come from the proceeds of selling CNG to public and private
fleets.

SUBJECT: STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2, TREATMENT, REUSE AND
DISPOSAL FACILITIES, JOB NO. J40-3, ADDENDUM NO. 4 TO
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT (PSA) WITH CAMP
DRESSER AND MCKEE, INC.
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Addendum No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with Camp
Dresser & McKee, Inc, for preparation of Phase 2 of the Strategic Plan, Job No. J-40-3,
for additional planning and design services in the amount of$293,022 for a total amount
not to exceed $1,403,740.
SUMMARY
Additional work has been required of Camp Dresser& McKee (CDM) to complete
Phase 2 of the Strategic Plan. The additional work includes revisions to Strategic Plan
documents, changes in planning assumptions, and additional support due to the
extended project schedule. This additional work is beyond the scope that was
envisioned when the PSA was amended in January 1998.
The majority of the additional effort was performed incrementally by CDM from May
through August 1998. Over time, the additional tasks accumulated and became
significant. Although staff realized that some of the work was out of scope, at the time
the work was being done, staff believed that sufficient consultant budget was available
to complete the work. CDM did not inform the District of the magnitude of the extra
work or the associated cost until September 1998. The fee for this additional work is
$236,118. As a good faith gesture, and to show their commitment as a team member
on the project, CDM has agreed to be compensated for the additional work at their cost
with no allowance for profit. This proposed increase also does not include $50,000 of
additional costs that CDM has incurred and agreed to write off and not attempt to
recover.
One of staffs project management responsibilities is to assure that the consultant's
work is completed within budget. We also require our consultants to keep our staff
informed as to the status of work efforts and budget compliance. We will continue to
stress the importance of proactive budget management to our project management staff
and our consultants. A comprehensive project management training program is in
Page 1
development that will address this issue. In the interim, our staff and supervisors have
been instructed to provide a higher level of budget oversight and communication with
the PDC Committee and our Board of Directors.
In addition to the completed work, CDM has proposed future work necessary for
completion of the Strategic Plan including:
• Revising all volumes of the Strategic Plan to reflect the agency's name
change to Orange County Sanitation District.
• Providing for additional review and revisions to Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) information.
• Providing continued project support, participation in project management
meetings, and coordination efforts with EIR consultants.
Staff is requesting an additional authorization of$56,904 for this upcoming work. As
with the work described above, CDM has agreed to complete the work at their cost, with
no profit. The combined fee for the additional completed and future work described
above is $293,022.
PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY
The total additional fee of $293,022 is 10% of CDM's existing total budget of$2,929,178
for Phases 1 and 2 of the Strategic Plan. Please refer to the attached Professional
Services Agreement Status Report.

Technical Memos - In the January 1998 addendum, staff requested that technical
memos be prepared documenting the underlying engineering assumptions of the
Strategic Plan. They were prepared and reviewed by Engineering, O & M, Finance,
GSA and Technical Services. To better communicate and serve our internal
stakeholders, a collaborative process formed between the departments. The group,
known as the Technical Advisory Group (TAG), generated significant comments and
information during the review process beyond what was projected when the addendum
was issued. The large volume of comments reflected the fact that the technical memo
effort was underestimated initially. To address these comments, CDM performed
additional work, increasing the overall length of the technical memos from the
contracted 70 pages (seven memos 10 pages each) to over 360 pages (9 memos
averaging 42 pages in length). The technical memos were finalized during April and
May 1998. The review and comment process was necessary to ensure documentation
that resulted in the best information available for the Strategic Plan. The information will
serve in prioritizing construction of future capital projects. It will also be useful in making
future technical and operational decisions, particularly in light of the agency's
reinvention efforts.
Planning Issues - In June 1998, after completion of the technical memos, a number of
important assumptions changed. The changes required a level of engineering effort
beyond the scope of work. The additional work included:
• Support for Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS)—The initial
engineering work on the treatment facilities (Volume 4)was based upon the GWRS
secondary effluent quality requirements provided in a March 1998 memorandum
from Orange County Water District(OCWD). To meet the GWRS requirements,
CDM determined that a $40 million secondary treatment expansion was necessary.
In June 1998, District Staff, OCWD, CDM, and the GWRS consultants (Black and
Veatch and Carollo Engineers) developed an alternate plan to reduce the amount of
secondary facilities supporting GWRS. It was decided that the District's existing
secondary facilities could be operated at a higher flow rate, increasing the effluent
solids content. To compensate for the higher solids content, the GWRS would
include $5 million in additional microfilters. Although this decision required CDM to
revise engineering work that they had already completed, the revised plan reduces
future secondary treatment construction by approximately $40 million.
• Urban Design Element- The Strategic Plan includes a landscaping improvement
plan to visually screen the area along Pack Coast Highway at the south boundary
of Plant No. 2. CDM is required to coordinate the design with the City of Huntington
Beach (City) and the California Department of Fish and Game (DF& G). Consensus
between these agencies has been difficult, requiring more meetings and revisions to
the plans than originally anticipated. In July 1998, Staff directed CDM to modify
plans previously agreed upon by the City and incorporate changes recommended by
DF&G. The work was necessary to move forward with the project and maintain a
good relationship with the agencies involved.
Page 3
• 50/50 Discharge Criteria -The original scope addressed two discharge scenarios,
the NPDES permit limits, and full secondary treatment. In July 1998, in preparation
for the August Board workshop, CDM analyzed the impact of GWRS on the District's
current policy of discharging a blended effluent consisting of 50 percent primary and
50 percent secondary effluents (50/50 policy). Although this analysis was not
included in the original scope, it was required to demonstrate the major differences
in cost between the District's 50/50 policy with and without GWRS.
Increased Staff and Board Support—Due to the highly collaborative nature of this
project, an increased level of technical and management analysis, decision-making, and
internal and external communication was required beyond what was originally
estimated. The meetings were necessary to provide the required communication with
the various stakeholders (Board, Public, and Management). The following additional
meetings were required beyond the original scope:
-Thirty biweekly management meetings (Technical Advisory Group and
Management Advisory Group)
-One Board Workshop
-One RAC Meeting
-Three Ad Hoc Committee Meetings
PROPOSED ADDITIONAL WORK:
The following represents proposed upcoming work:
Name Change - On July 1, 1998, the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County
(CSDOC) became the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD). In addition, the
individual Districts were renamed as Revenue Areas as part of consolidation. Based on
these changes, all Strategic Plan volumes will need to be revised. Over 700 pages of
text and 200 figures and tables are affected by the name change, as well as associated
grammar (singular versus plural). Since the document will not be adopted until July
1999 (one year after consolidation), a name change is being recommended.
Interim Submittal for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) The new facilities identified
in the Strategic Plan will need to be combined with the District's existing five year capital
program and future rehabilitation and replacement projects. An additional interim
submittal of the CIP will be required to assure that project phasing and budgeting has
been reviewed and analyzed by District Staff, and that the District's input is included in
the final CIP. An interim submittal will require CDM to conduct additional meetings with
Staff and make revisions to the draft CIP prior to finalizing.
Ongoing Management and gineering Support - Staff informed the Ad Hoc and
Steering Committees at the EnJuly 29 meeting that additional strategic planning costs
would be incurred for future work due to extension of the project schedule. The
schedule was extended to allow time to receive direction from the Board on the
Page 4
designated preferred alternative for the Strategic Plan, prior to moving forward with the
CIP and the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR). This resulted in a Board
Workshop being held on August 22, with recommendations presented to the full Board
of Directors at the September 23r0 meeting. The additional time required to receive
Board direction on the preferred alternative has extended CDM's efforts beyond the
scheduled completion by the end of July. While a large part of the Strategic Plan has
been completed and reviewed by the District, there is significant effort remaining,
requiring continued consultant support. The support services include a number of
ongoing responsibilities, including:
- Eight Project Management Meetings
- One Ad Hoc Committee Meetings
- One Board Workshops
- Four coordination meetings with the EIR consultants

Addendum 4:Revistims to the Strategic Plan
Dear Mr.Ludwin
Thank you so much for meeting with us today to review the changes in scope to the
strategic planing effort. As we discussed today,mochhas transpired since receiving
Addendum 2 on January 28,1998. Chm%g in technical direction,levels of detal7,and
schedule delays have resulted in a higher level of effort to complete the plamdng and _
engineering analyses and documentation Although the work has provided additional
benefits to the decision making process,it has emmaeded the level of effort envisioned by
both CDM and OCSD in January 199&
As we are all aware,this project has been more of a"process"than a tradiiianallydefined
project Although the process may have seemed somewhat arduous at times,there bas
been a tremendous amount of valuable work performed. This work has resulted in the
development of dynamic tools and documentation that will provide significant benefit to
the District and the County of Orange for many years to come.
Through this collaborative process,the District's staff,management,Board and public
have gained significantly in the following areas:
Dynamic Tools
- Collection System Model(STORM and fixtran)
- Wastewater Treatment Facilities Model
- Pacut Decision Model
HrS Model
Detailed Documentation and Action Plans
- Plannvmg and Design Qiteoa
- Cost Criteria(capital and O&M)
- Stormwater Management Plan

Because of the level of effort in gaining input and buy-in both internally(staff,
management and Board)and eideenally(public and regulatory community),these tools
and plans will be extremely useful as you proceed through the planning horizon.
Additional Work Required
Below,you will find a more detailed accounting of the changes in scope that have
occurred in the last 8 months. We hope this documentation helps to Illuminate not only
the changes to the levels of effort,but the benefits gained by them. We have also
Included a time line to illustrate the Incremental nature of the changes in scope.
Planning Issues
• Suunort ofCrly$,Qyblem
On June 1,1998,after completion of the technical memoranda documenting all of
the engi neeringbaseline assumptions and parameters,a meeting was held with
the GWR System Team to review facility changes thatwould reduce the cost
Impacts of GWR System support. At that meeting,significant baseline
assumptions were revised. These assumptions included use of bidding filter
effluent for GWR supply water,reduction in quality of secondary effluent
acceptable to GWR(increasing loading rates to clarifiers),and the pursuit of Phase
I only for GWR. Although these changes significantly Impacted the strategic
planning efforts,the changes benefitted both OCSD and OCWD by reducing the
cost of supporting GWR System by$40 million.
T..novative TeehnolooeTv
The original scope of work requited CDM to consider spare-saving technologies
to forestall possible site limitation problems at both plants. In addition,the scope
requited CDM to specifically consider primary effluent filtraion. However,
during the development of the technical memoranda,and in subsequent meetings
and discussions with OCSD staff regarding Volume 4, -comments from OCSD
®phasdzed the need to consider funher opporhuubes. Based on this input,
Sections 5,6,9 and 17 of Volume 4 were revised to include Innovative technology
discussions for implementation of promising innovative technologies for
prelumnary/pirmary,secondary and solids pmcesees. This additional work
consolidated,evaluated and prioritized a variety of innovative process
technologies and provided support to OCSD's on-going monitoring of alternative

processes. (It should be tuned that CDM is not asking for additional
compensation for this expanded scope of work)
• Thban Dp6gn Elemerit
As part of the development of contract documents for landscape improvements to
the Plant 2 south boundary wall,CDM was required to coordinate with OCSD
and the City of Huntington Beach to ensure that any proposed improverrusits
were acceptable to the California Department of Fish and Game. In April 1998,
CDM and OCSD met with the City of Huntington Beach to begin the pmcess.
Coordination with Fish and Game resulted an a meeting on July 15,1998 which
also included the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Differences between these
agencies and the City required revisions by CDM to the original set of plane
recommended for the area and agreed to by the City. This issue is still
lauessolved,and the CDM team has demobilized temporarily. Once completed,
however, this project will not only result in a pleasant visual break to travelers
along Pacific Coast Highway,but it will also strengthen OCSD's existing good
relationships with both the City of Huntington Beach and the California
Department of Fish end Game.
• Odor Control/ er BuS+rimSs
The original scope of work required CDM to conduct a straightforward
evaluation of previous studies conducted regarding odor control scrubbers and to
prepare a technical memorandum presentingrecomrnenda6ons to increase
scrubber efficiency. This adtial scope was slowly expanded by OCSD staff until
'odor control"became "air emissions"which resulted in the preparation of
Technical Memorandum 4A-1 which was issued in May 1998. This
memorandum,consisting of over 30 pages,covers odorNOC treatment
parameters,practices and operating philosophies;air emissions permitting
regulations driving odor control requirements;criteria for chemical odor
treatment and binf'iltration;and air emissions impacts a&cwq power generation
While this work provides clear benefits to OCSD in strategic plaruung,it has
moved far beyond the original.Intent of the scope of work (It should be noted
that CDM is not asking for additional compensation for this expanded scope of
work)
• Addition of 50:50 Level of Trmrment
In August of 1998,staff requested that CDM comeider the District's current target
of achieving a blend of 50 percent primary and W percent secondary effluent in
addition to the Diagonal NPDBSS permit limits and full secondary treatment
criteria. This work was requested to show the comparative impact of changing
from current philosophy to the new permit limits. Through this additional

analyses,the Board was able to make an educated decision regarding the move
from current philosophy to producing an effluent meeting permit requirements.
To quantify the increased level of effort,we provide the following summary.
Budget $170,139(1281 hours)
Actual 5229,947(1976 hours)
Difference$59,808(695 hems)
Technical Memoranda
The original concept and intent of the development of technical memoranda was to
confirm the fundamental assumptions and"building blocks"which had been developed
in 1997. These memoranda were to incorporate work that had been previously
completed. The understanding was that these memoranda would be short(a10 pages)
with minimum review of the contents.
After receipt of the Addendum 2,however,the scope and breadth of the Technical
Memao da changed considerably. The Memoranda became a tool for greater staff
collaboration,input and review of the baseline decisions,an opportunity for staff to
consider assumptions that had been previously made,and a chance for more m-depth
documentation of background information and description of took and methodology
used to reach the decisions made. This process afforded the District the additional
opportunity to take full advantage of the exterdse and knowledge of the staff in
Operation&Maintenance,Technical Services and Fngmeenng and Planning.
Although this greater level of participation and detailed analyses and documentation will
help make these took more accepted and utnilmed,the effort to complete the documents
far exceeded the angmally anticipated level.
To quantify the increased level of effort,we provide the following summary:
- Original 7 memos, 10 pages each,5 reviewers,keel of comments-1 week hum
around
- Actual 9 memos,average 47 pages each(excluding appendices),20-25 reviewers,
average 70 comments per memo,2 to 3 wmks to address
Budget $109,W(879 hors)
Actual 8213A35(1988 hours)
Difference$103,867(1009 hours)

Schedule DelaydInctease In Manageatent
As you know,the schedule for completion and the number of meetings required for
planning,education,and decision-making have been expanded as the process has
progressed. In reviewing the contractual requirements(original agreement phis
addenda)for meetings compared with the actual number of formal meetings(excluding
informal staff-level dfwiasini c),the additional effort has been substantial,but warranted
in bringing the necessary parties toward decision.

Additional Work Efforts Required
• Name Chimgg
On July 1,1998,the County sanitation Districts of Orange County(CSDM
became the Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD). In addition,the title of
each individual member District was changed from District to Revenue Area. All
Strategic Plan volumes need to be revised to reflect these recent changes. Over
700 pages of text and 200 figures and tables are affected as well as associated
grammar(singular versus plural).
Additional Technical Review[S,p=eng
With the ewsption of the Volume 3,the scope of work required the submittal of
only a draft 50%and a Pawl submittal for each volume of the Strategic Plan
However,it has become clear that staff require at least one other opportunity to
review the portions of key volumes which present Capital Improveza¢u Program
(CIP)utformat mt. Single submittals of the draft CIPs for the collection system,
treatment facilities and disposal system will be prepared by CDM for review by
OCSD staff. CIP adjustments and phasing of expenditures to the collection
Micro,treatment plants and disposal system will be performed by OCSD staff in

working sessions with CDM staff. The resultent comments will be provided m
CDM for incorporation into the final CIP. This proms has already been
discussed with staff and has been accepted by them to finalize the CIP.
• Qngpjtr Manag=ent and EpgineC+Sgpport
The current Strategic Plan effort was scheduled to be completed by the end of July
1998. While a large part of the work has been completed and reviewed by OCSD,
the continued participation of CDM to provide support to the Strategic Plan effort
tluough mid-Mg is seen by OCSD and CDM has beneficial. To provide this
support on an on-call basis,an upper limit not-to-exceed value for these services
has been established by OCSD. The extent,timing and level of effort of all
support efforts provided under this owk will be defined by OCSD in advance.
CDM will endeavor to make available those staff requested by OCSD at the
locations and times proposed by OCSD. In this way,CDM's expertise in the
strategic platming process will continue to be available to OCSD.
Level of Effort
The level of effort that has been expended and will be needed to complete the work
outlined above is broken down in the attached Table 1. As you can see,the fee needed to
complete the work is$293,M2. As we are all aware of budget constraints and the need to
nunimire impacts to the District,we are offering that CDM be compensated on an"at
cost"basis for the work outlined herein.
Thank you for your consideration of this requested addendum. We are proud to be a
pert of this importantplamning process and have enjoyed the team spirit that has been
fostered. We took forward to the successful completion of this useful,dynamic plan.
Very truly yours, .��'
