The following is a list of technical errors intended to update and correct the Early Action Program Design: 1.The report should state that the intent of the sludge management program is to control nutrient and bacteria runoff into Upper Newport Bay. 2.It should be noted that the Districts’sludge is about 20%solids. 3.The Districts object to the conclusions drawn re garding physical solutions to the site problems at Golden West Fertilizer because it lacks inclusion of all feasible economic alternatives and does not discuss fiscal impacts of those listed. EXHIBIT “A” COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS Supervisor Dennis Hansberger March 28,1978 of ORANGE COUNTY,CALIFORNIA Page Two P.O.BOX 8127 10844 ELLIS AVENUE FOUNTAIN VALLEY,CALIFORNIA 92708 (714)540-2910 (714)962-2411 It should be noted that the Golden West Fertilizer Company has been notified by The Irvine Company that their ground lease will be terminated by June 30,1978.It is believed that this notifi cation is a direct result of past poor sludge management practices and the 208 study on sludge management in the San Diego Creek Water shed.The Districts are in discussions with The Irvine Company to let the Districts take over the lease;as of this date,the matter has not been resolved.The Districts are now in a very serious position of having to dispose of over 100 tons of sludge per day with no composting location. The Sanitation Districts formally request that SCAG place sewage sludge management in the San Diego Creek Watershed into the Con tinuing Action Program and devote funds and resources to finding a sewage sludge processing location to serve all Orange County Sanitation facilities in connection with the EPA sponsored LA/OMA study and adequate technology is developed and constructed to handle the problem. These comments reflect the Sanitation Districts’position re garding the Early Action Design Program.
