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

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

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

activities, OCSD legislative priorities and other information of interest to the Steering
Committee.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
None
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Design-build legislation update
SB 645 (Correa and Tran) is set for hearing in the Senate Local Government Committee on
April 18 in the Local Government Committee. Staff will provide an update regarding the bill
hearing at the Steering Committee meeting.
Other priority legislation
The City of Los Angeles sponsored AB 1207(Smyth) in response to the Kem County initiative
banning the land application of biosolids. AB 1207 would have preempted local authorities from
banning biosolids if they met specific criteria developed by the California Integrated Waste
Management Board. OCSD supports the bill, but the League of California Cities and CSAC
would have been opposed because of preemption.
As a result of these concerns, AS 1207 has been made a two-year bill to give the parties
involved time to negotiate differences.
Another biosolids related bill is SB 55 (Florez)that OCSD opposes, is set for hearing on April 16
in the Senate Environmental Quality Committee.
Other bills being tracked by staff are listed on the attached table.

Federal Legislative Report

Political highlights
With the House and the Senate returning from their Easter recess, a number of unfinished bills
will take center stage. These include supplemental appropriations for the war in Iraq, the
budget, immigration reform, minimum wage and implementing the recommendations of the 9111
commission. Congress must also begin in earnest the process of writing the appropriations bills
for FY 2008 including, of course the bill to provide funding for the OCSD secondary project..
More specifically, the House will take up the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) on the
floor and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will begin to mark up WRDA in
Committee. These are hopeful signs that the WRDA revisions will be finished this year, which is
important to OCSD since they will ensure the increased ceiling for funding the SARI line.
Oversight, a key aspect of the Democrats program, will also continue at an aggressive pace so
Congress' calendar will be very full.
Summary of Activities
The federal legislative team of Eric Sapirslein and John Freshman has been setting the stage
for the upcoming funding decisions by performing the following tasks:
• Worked with the OCSD staff to develop the FY08 funding request for secondary
treatment;
• Arranged, coordinated and attended meeting between OCSD officials and congressional
delegation staff including Senators Boxer and Feinstein and Congresswoman Sanchez;
• Discussed with OCSD staff the potential opportunities to work with San Diego on a
coalition, perhaps with Honolulu, to help achieve funding for secondary treatment for
communities who had received legitimate 301(h)waivers;
• Carefully followed progress of appropriations process and worked on strategies to have
another visit with Senator Feinstein who is vital to the secondary treatment funding
effort;
• Monitored general legislative activities of interest to OCSD including the budget and the
categories for the environmental programs and
• Researched and developed analyses of homeland security funding assistance programs
which may benefit OCSD security efforts.
Upcoming efforts
The federal legislative team, working with OCSD staff, will participate in regular conference
calls, continue the liaison with the Congressional delegation, and make sure OCSD needs and
interests are represented in Washington.

State Legislative Report

Political Highlights
Policy committee meetings have begun and there is a good deal of activity in Sacramento. This
flurry will continue through June when budget negotiations conclude. While a number of
individual pieces of legislation have been introduced to appropriate infrastructure bond and Prop
84 monies, it is not until the Governor issues his May Revise that we have a better idea how
much of the $42.7 billion in bonds will be authorized and appropriated this year.
Possible funding sources for OCSD include the$1 billion in IRWMP funding available statewide,
of which the Santa Ana Region is allocated $114 million. However, with two additional funding
cycles left in Prop 50, it is unlikely any of the$1 billion in Prop 84 funding will be appropriated
this year. Moreover, because of the regional focus on these IRWMP funds, SAWPA is planning
to expand its stakeholder group, including OCSD, and take an inclusive approach to funding
projects that impact the watershed.
The other significant opportunities for band funds include a $90 million to replenish the Clean
Beaches funding program. OCSD is eligible to apply for the grant program but must
demonstrate water quality improvements from any proposed treatment project. An additional
$90 million was included in Prop 84 to create incentives for municipalities to work together on
urban runoff cleanup projects and because the Sanitation District collects dry weather runoff,
there could be an opportunity to work with member cities and agencies on additional cleanup
measures and seeking state funds to help offset the local shared costs.
As a result of the significant efforts by the legislature to craft a 2008 water bond,there is
interest from Senator Cogdill to meet with water agencies in Orange County to discuss their
interest in the water bond and potential support, whether via a legislative or voter initiative. We
are working on having the Senator come to Orange County in late April to meet with water
agencies, which would be an ideal opportunity for OCSD to participate and emphasize the
importance of including wastewater infrastructure funding in any proposed bond measure.
In addition, Assembly Member Vlllines has been invited to tour GRWS and meet with OCSD
and OCWD representatives. The Assembly Member is the minority leader and from the Central
Valley area of Merced, which is a region that is pushing for a bond to build a surface storage
project at Temperance Flat outside of Fresno. The meeting and tour is an important opportunity
for OCSD to meet with and stress the importance of including wastewater infrastructure funding
in a 2008 water bond, particularly with his interest in water recycling, and how such projects are
helping to lessen the imported water demand in Southern California.

Political highlights
A few bills of interest that we have been tracking:
• SB 113 (Calderon): Presidential Primary. This bill will be monumental for the
state of California which will move the presidential primary to the month of
Februa% SB 113 passed on the Assembly Floor with a final vote of 46-29 on
March 6 . The Governor's office produced the following signing message which
included his intent to reimburse the counties, which stated, "in addition, a
separate presidential primary election does not come without costs to California
counties. As such, I am signing this measure with the understanding that the
Legislature will reimburse counties for the costs of the presidential primary as
soon as possible."
• Bond Fundina for the State of California. During the month of March, several bills were
introduced that provides implementation details for the 2006 $42 billion dollar
infrastructure bond package. Many informational hearings are taking place to discuss
implementation strategies. Most monies will be distributed through the annual budget
act or specified implementing agencies.
Also, we have been tracking and monitoring all design-build related legislation that has been
introduced or amended in the legislature and the political environment surrounding the issue.
(Please see attachment to view these bills).

our existing relationships and developing new ones with incoming members of the State
