(5) REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR
Committee Chair Eckenrode reported that there are still a couple of openings for the CASA
conference in May.
(6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER
A. Communications Plan—One Year Later
No discussion because this was covered at the three operating committee meetings
this month.
B. Status of Disinfection and Microfiltration Studies
This item is also scheduled for discussion and consideration at tonight's Board
meeting. Bob Oaten, Director of Operations and Maintenance, reported that selection
of a consultant for long-term disinfection studies and facilities will also be considered.
He brought a small microfiltration unit to the meeting and explained how It worked.
Treatment removal rates were presented for primary, secondary and microfiltration
processes. Microfiltration provides the greatest removal rates. The District has
completed three research projects on this process, and at the next OMTS Committee
meeting the members will be asked to hold a future meeting at Plant 2 for a site visit to
the microfiltration and other research sites.
Mark Esquer reviewed the presentation he would be making at the Board meeting on
Ocean Outfall Bacteria Reduction Efforts underway in support of the recommendation
to designate the use of bleach with sodium bisulfite (dechlorination as a mitigation
measure) as the Preferred Alternative and to continue to fast track the project. The
goals are to maintain continued compliance with Assembly Bill 411 (Recreational
Bathing Water Standards)at the ouffall to eliminate any possibility that release of
treated wastewater is adversely affecting the surfzone. He discussed the short-
(interim period)and long-term (3—5 years plus) schedules. He discussed the short-
term activities and consultant activities and resources, as well as the required level of
environmental review. To meet the schedule it will be necessary to pre-purchase
some equipment and issue sole-source conracts. Staff is recommending that a
CEQA-based Mitigated Negative Declaration be prepared and presented to the Board
in June for adoption.
C. Update on Sewer Service and Connection Agreement for El Morro School
David Ludwin reported that the two-party agreement between IRWD and the District
will be considered at tonights Board meeting. IRW D will act as the local sewering
agency and collect fees on our behalf.
D. AB 1892 (Harman) OCSD Urban Runoff and AB 1969(Maddox) amending Water
Code)
General Manager Anderson provided an update on AB 1892 that would change the
District's charter. It passed through the Local Government Committee on an 11-0
' Minutes of the Steering Committee
Page 3
March 27, 2W2
vote. This would allow participation in the urban runoff program and give us the
authority to raise user fees to cover the expenses. Other funding alternatives are also
available and will be considered by the Ad Hoc Committee when it next meets.
AS 1969 is being amended by the author. AS 1969 would change the process and
requirements of the Ocean Plan, the Cologne-Porter Act and the federal Clean Water
Act, and essentially hijack the responsibility for oversight of the Sanitation District's
decision-making responsibilities away from the Board of Directors and to the state.
Mr. Anderson stated that if the bill passes then it would be essentially a state-
mandated effort and state funding will be requested for$400 million. This is an
important governance question that should concern everyone.
(7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL
Counsel Tom Nixon reported that there was a need to add an Rem of anticipated litigation to the
closed session agenda. This need was identified only this morning, subsequent to the posting of the
agenda and there is a need to take Immediate action on the matter. It was moved, seconded and
unanimously approved adding the item to the closed session agenda based on the information
provided.
(8) DISCUSSION ITEMS (Items A-D)
A. Proposed Calendar for consideration of Level of Treatment and Permit Application
Decision
General Manager Anderson reported that the decision process has five major
components: 1)technical information and alternatives; 2) financial issues, which will
be addressed by prepared two budgets;3)ocean monitoring work;4) regulatory
climate; and 5)public input. It is anticipated that at the June Board meeting all of the
information could be forwarded to the Board to make the decision on level of
treatment and begin the public input process.
B. MOVED, SECONDED AND DULY CARRIED TO: Authorize the General Manager to
execute Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with US Bureau of Reclamation for the
Southern California Water Recycling Projects Initiative providing for an additional two
years in the amount of$38,182
Wendy Sevenandt, Project Manager, explained this regional project that was
evaluating what can be done with recycling projects. Additional work has been
Identified and additional funding is required. Because the additional costs are within
the General Manager's delegation of authority, this item does not need Board
approval.
C. The Agenda Items scheduled to be reviewed by the Board's working committees in
April were reviewed.
D. The agenda items scheduled to be presented to the Board at tonight's meeting
(March 27, 2002)were reviewed.

Orange County delegation In Washington, DC on February 13. This has become an annual event
co-sponsored by the OCWD, MW DOC and the Sanitation District.
(6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER
General Manager Blake Anderson discussed the OCWD letter on the Metropolitan Water District
Storage Contract and the potential financial impact on the Sanitation District. No action was
requested. See No. (10).
There are still some outstanding issues regarding the GW RS agreement. At tonight's board meeting
a motion will be requested to pull the item from the agenda. It should be finalized in time for next
month's meeting. The GW RS construction management services agreement will go forward. There
will be no expenditures until the summer. The OCWD board will act on the agreement at its second
meeting in March.
Gary Streed, director of finance, updated the members on estimated future sewer user fee rates. He
explained how the rates have changed over the past six years and the available options. At this time
it is proposed that the board adopt a rate for 2002-03 of$87.50 for a single-family residence. Rates
for industrial users will also increase. After the Strategic Plan is adopted and the level of treatment
has been determined a multi-year rate plan will be proposed. These increases are exempt from
Proposition 218 requirements; however, staff believes that the property owners should be notified of
the increases that will appear on their property tax bills. Notifications will be mailed to properties in
Areas 2, 3,6 and 7. There is no need to mail to all property owners in the service area because they
already pay at least the$87.50 minimum. Mr.Streed also discussed estimated funding requirements
and revenue sources through 2010. In the event full secondary treatment is implemented, the
estimated annual cost for a single-family residence will increase to about$200 by 2010.
Mr Anderson and Bob Ghirelli, director of technical services, described the events leading to the
decision to implement chlorine disinfection of the effluent. The monitoring results in waters in
Newport Canyon Indicated high counts of bacteria at levels not seen before. After conferring with
staff and the Board Chair, a press conference was held to discuss the events and describe our plan
of action.
There have been some objections to the use of chlorine because of proven impacts on marine life.
However, with careful oversight and proper holding time,the residuals should be diluted enough to
protect the area around the end of the outfall. Dechlorination facilities may be necessary if the
dissipation is lower than anticipated. Alternate processes and chemicals are available and they will
be evaluated. Staff will prepare a more detailed explanation in the future.
Staff is working with the regulators to make sure the proposed facilities are in compliance with
requirements. Additional monitoring will be required. The chlorinated effluent will meet California
Ocean Plan requirements.
There is a tank farm at Plant 2 ready for use. Some additional piping and a meter will be added.
Staff is also considering adding disinfection facilities at Plant 1 to increase the holding time.
Minutes of the Steering Committee

' February 27, 2002
Mr. Eckenrode asked staff to prepare a report to the Board in September on the status of marine life
at the outfall.
Mr. Anderson described the relationship between disinfection and secondary treatment. Secondary
treatment will reduce BOD and total suspended solids but will not reduce pathogens sufficiently.
Disinfection will eliminate pathogens. Secondary treatment addresses environmental concerns.
Disinfection address public health concerns.
Lisa Murphy, communications manager, reported that a public Information request for payments
made to Chair Eckenrode and Director Pat McGuigan has been received. Staff will be presenting
lump sum totals for fees and travel reimbursements only.
Ms. Murphy also reported receiving 239 form letters via e-mail, fax and mail opposing the waiver. Of
those, only 112 were from our service area. These letters are the result of a letter-writing campaign
recommended by Surfriders. Only those letters requesting additional information will be answered.

Newhausen, Laguna Beach Unified School District Construction Administrator,
explained their concerns and schedule. The options were discussed. Staff was
directed to work with IRW D and the school district to develop either a pre-annexation
agreement or an out-of-District service agreement. When finalized it will be presented
to the Board for approval.

RECYCLING PROJECTS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to execute an amendment to the funding agreement
between the Orange County Sanitation District and the Bureau of Reclamation to
participate in the Southern California Water Recycling Projects Initiative for the second
and third years at an estimated cost of$38,182 for two Federal Fiscal years starting
October 1, 2000 and ending September 30, 2002,for a total three year cost of$48,637.
SUMMARY
• In June 2000, the Steering Committee authorized the General Manager to enter into
an agreement between the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) and the
Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau)to participate in the Southern California Water
Recycling Projects Initiative (Initiative).
• The first year cost was $10,455 for the Federal Fiscal year ending September 30,
2000.
• The Initiative consists of regional work, including water quality and brine
management issues and their impact on reclamation, and cost-shared funding of
site-specific projects.
• The Orange County Water District (OCWD) received $22,517 from the Bureau of
Reclamation for the Groundwater Replenishment System under this program. This
grant was cost-shared equally between OCSD and OCW D.
• The cost-sharing partners need to amend the agreement to continue work.
• The cost to OCSD to continue participation as a cost-sharing partner for the Federal
Fiscal years ending September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2002 is $38,182.
• Cost-sharing partners participate on the Initiative Executive Management Team
(IEMT) directing the work.
• Staff recommends that the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) participate in
the Bureau's Initiative due to OCSD's interest in the GWR System, watershed
management, and brine management issues.
RMMO MWO Page 1
PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) participated in the first year of the
Initiative at a cost of$10,455 for regional work. The regional work is a 50:50 cost-
shared effort between the Bureau and the 11 participating agencies.
The Bureau contributed $405,314 towards site-speck projects in the form of a grant.
Twenty-two agencies received a portion of this grant. The grant was also a 50:50 cost-
shared effort between the Bureau and the agency. The GWR System received $22,517
from the Bureau for"site-specific" work. The grant was equally split between OCSD
and OCWD.
To continue work with eleven agencies participating, the cost to OCSD would be
$38,182 in the second and third years for regional work. This assumes the second and
third year cost of$420,000 is shared equally between the eleven agencies.
The following table shows the spending by the Bureau for the program, the cost to the
cost-sharing partners for the Initiative, and the OCSD share of the costs. The budget
for the Federal Fiscal Year 02-03 is not approved at this time. Additional funds will be
available from the Bureau for more site-specific work.

at a cost of$38,182. In the first three years of participation, OCSD costs will total
$48,637. OCSD participation in additional years would require authorization of
subsequent amendments.

The regional work includes water quality, salinity, and brine management issues and
their impact on reclamation. Site-specific projects in this study include the Groundwater
Replenishment System (GW R System) and Orange County regional brine lines.
For the site-specific projects identified in the Initiative, the Bureau of Reclamation
distributed $405,314 in matching funds between 22 agencies for currently funded
projects. The Orange County Water District(OCWD) received $22,517 from the Bureau
for the GWR System under this program. This grant was shared equally between
OCSD and OCWD.
The Bureau has continued work on the Initiative with their portion of the funding. To
continue work on the Initiative, the cost-sharing partners now need to amend the
existing agreement. The cost to the cost-sharing partners to continue the work over the
Federal Fiscal years ending September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2002 is $38,182.
Eleven agencies are participating in the Initiative as cost-sharing partners. Cost-sharing
partners participate on the Initiative Executive Management Team (IEMT)directing the
work.

The amendment consists of a Statement of Work and budget for Federal Fiscal years
2001 and 2002. Again, there is a site-specific project component of the Initiative
whereby the Bureau of Reclamation will match planning costs for agency-funded
projects. The Initiative Executive Management Team (]EMT)will work together to
distribute the funds among the site-specific projects in the Initiative.
Orange County brine line projects are currently identified as site-specific projects, but
were not eligible for matching funding in Federal Fiscal year ending September 30,
2000 because work was not budgeted or performed on the project that year.
OCSD will be adding projects to the Initiative that impact reclamation such as diversion
facilities to bring adequate flow to Plant No. 1 during low-flow periods at night. Planning
costs for this work are eligible for matching funds from the Bureau.
Staff recommends that OCSD participate in the Bureau's Initiative due to OCSD's
interest in the GWR System,watershed management, and brine management issues.
For future years, subsequent agreements would be required.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not authorize participation in the Initiative. With Orange County Water District
(OCWD), a member agency of Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA),
SAWPA would represent the interests of OCWD and Ground Water Replenishment
(GWR) System on the Executive Management Team. OCSD would not be directly
represented on other issues pertaining to regional reclamation and brinelsalinity
management projects.
CEQA FINDINGS
This study is in preliminary stages. Environmental work may become a task within the
Initiative.

Task 1: Water Quality Issues
This task will focus on examining water quality issues and concerns related to public
health,public perception,regulatory issues,and other resources that could be
benefited or impacted by recycled water projects. The analysis will evaluate these
issues under a range of recycled water implementation scenarios. The analysis will
examine the impacts of increased recycling on receiving waters as well as public
health and safety. In addition, the analysis will focus on contemporary water
quality conditions that affect recycled water acceptance and or use such as industrial
chemicals, natural pollutants, and pharmaceutical wastes existing in the wastewater.
Potential impacts to surface water flows,groundwater levels,surface water and
groundwater quality, and biological resources will also be examined. In addition,
public concerns regarding potential changes to public health risks associated with

SCOPE OF WM
the use of recycled water and resulting from conditions as mentioned above,on
waters and lands may be considered.
Task 1A: Define Alternative Water Recycling Futures
This task will define alternative water recycling futures by outlining scenarios. All of the
scenarios will be considered to occur at a future time as determined by the Initiative
Executive Management Team (IEMT). Each scenario will consider up to four levels of
recycled water use consisting of ranges.
The scenarios will consider the uses of recycled water (including habitat restoration,
irrigation,groundwater replenishment,seawater intrusion,or industrial water supplies);
quantities;mass loadings for constituents;and existing regulations. The scenarios will
consider current projections for wastewater flows for each subregion as defined in the
Southern California Comprehensive Water Recycling and Reuse Study(SCCWRRS). In
addition,the scenarios will include an assumed array of water management conditions and
water chemistry implications.
The final selection of the initial scenarios will be defined through a meeting with the
IEMT. The IEMT also will lead the determination of quantity assumptions and
selection of the water quality conditions to be evaluated in subsequent tasks.

Task 3: Public Information and Education Program
The primary objective of the public information and education program is to
increase the level of awareness and public acceptance of recycled water use in the
southern California region. A key component to any program is to obtain buy-in
and support from DHS, the RWQCBs, and area environmental and community
groups. Obtaining buy-in and support from these groups will aid in gaining public
acceptance of the use of recycled water as a viable regional solution to the growing
demand for this natural resource.
Another key component of this program will be the involvement of the IEMT. The
IEMT,acting as a coalition, will have a crucial role in working to gain an
understanding and support for recycled water use and projects. In addition, the
IEMT will be able to use the public information and education program as a tool to
strengthen the existing regional coalition as well as emerge as the regional leader in
recycled water. Through the regional coalition,the IEMT will have the ability to
encourage and support the use of recycled water in both language and action.
