AGENDA REPORT I em Number Item Number

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: MENDOZA ODOR CONTROL FACILITY
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Site Access and License Agreement with Costa Mesa Sanitary District
(CMSD) to allow mobilization of an odor control chemical dosing station and
injection of chemicals into the Baker-Main Interceptor at 2899 Mendoza Drive in
the city of Costa Mesa, in a form approved by General Counsel; and
B. Approve reimburse to CMSD for $12,600 per year with annual adjustments not
exceeding a 10% increase over the initial year for storage facility lease at Orange
Coast College's boat yard beginning July 1, 2017 and annually thereafter.
BACKGROUND
Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) currently treats the Baker-Main
Interceptor for odor and corrosion with a continuous feed of ferrous chloride to the sludge
in the force main at the Michelson Water Reclamation Plant (MWRP), which is owned
and operated by Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD).
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain Odor Control Master Plan
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities,
including odor, noise, and lighting
• 12 or fewer odor complaints per year under normal operating conditions in the
collections system
PROBLEM
IRWD's new sludge processing facility is slated for completion in December 2017, at
which time the Sanitation District will no longer have a carrier for ferrous chloride, which
is currently dosed at MW RP.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
As a replacement for the MW RP chemical feed facility, Sanitation District staff will conduct
a 12-month chemical dosing study at the CMSD's Mendoza Pump Station. Previous
Page 1 of 2
studies have shown that the Mendoza Pump Station location has been effective in
reducing odors in the Baker-Main Interceptor.
TIMING CONCERNS
The opportunity to conduct the study now will help the Sanitation District locate and
operate a chemical feed facility when the MWRP chemical feed facility is not available in
December 2017.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If these steps are not taken, when the MWRP's new sludge processing facility is
completed the Sanitation District will not have a continuous chemical dosing station
servicing odor control in the Baker-Main Interceptor, thereby potentially increasing odor
complaints in the collections system.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To locate the chemical dosing equipment at CMSD's Mendoza Pump Station existing
equipment must be relocated to an alternative storage location. CMSD staff found a
storage location at the Orange Coast College (OCC) boat yard near Adams Avenue. The
location is centralized and their staff will have 24/7 access to the property. The total cost
to store their equipment at OCC is$12,600 annually and the Sanitation District has agreed
to reimburse CMSD the storage fee.
CEQA
The Sanitation District has determined that the project is exempt from CEQA.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This item has been budgeted in the Proposed FY17/18 Collections Facilities
Operations and Maintenance Operating Budget (Line item: Professional and Contractual
Services, Section 6, Page 76). Project contingency funds will not be used for this
agreement.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: HEADQUARTERS COMPLEX, SITE AND SECURITY, AND ENTRANCE
REALIGNMENT PROGRAM, PROJECT NO. P1-128
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Change the preferred alternative from the southwest corner of Plant No. 1 to the area
bounded by Ellis Avenue on the south, southbound Ellis off-ramp on the east, 1405
Freeway on the north, and Ward Street on the west for the location for the Administration
Building and Laboratory Building for CEQA evaluation under the Headquarters Complex,
Site and Security, and Entrance Realignment Program, Project No. P1-128.
BACKGROUND
In June 2015,an Administrative Facilities Implementation Plan (AFIP)was completed that
described the facilities, sequencing, and costs associated with constructing new buildings
at Plant No. 1. In the same month and based on that plan, the Board of Directors (Board)
approved a new project and budget for the Headquarters Complex, Site and Security,
and Entrance Realignment Program, Project No. P1-128. The project site was planned
in the northern portion of the Plant No. 1 property, adjacent to the current Administration
Building location.
Also, in June 2015, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) presented an
informational item to the Operations Committee regarding the Interstate 405 Widening
Project (OCTA Project) which includes the new southbound on-ramp from Ellis Avenue.
The OCTA Project proposed closing the existing main entry to Plant No. 1 to
accommodate the new on-ramp and creating a new entry at Pacific Avenue. These
changes would directly impact the Headquarters Complex before, during, and after
construction, as well as the selected location.
To accommodate OCTA's proposal for a new entrance, staff evaluated four alternatives
for siting the Headquarters Complex over the following months. Based on the results of
the evaluation, staff recommended the Headquarters Complex, including the main
Administration Building and Laboratory, be constructed in the southwest area of Plant
No. 1, along with necessary site and security improvements. In October 2015, the Board
designated the southwest area of Plant No. 1 as the project location. As staff began
design efforts in the southwest area, however, it became apparent that this location was
not compatible for the use.
In the second half of 2016, staff worked at the Board's direction to acquire property across
Ellis Avenue. As a result, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District)
Page 1 of 4
reached an agreement to purchase a 2.14 acre property in Fountain Valley on the north
side of Ellis between Bandilier Circle and Pacific Street, and escrow closed on February
24, 2017.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Meet CEQA and NEPA standards
• Provide a safe and collegial workplace
PROBLEM
The preferred alternative for the Headquarters Complex was designated by the Board in
October 2015. Since that time, additional evaluation revealed that this location is not
compatible for the use due to conflicts with Southern California Edison power lines on
Garfield Avenue, deficiencies with the intersection at Garfield and Ward, concerns
expressed by the City of Fountain Valley with potential impacts to the residential
neighborhoods at Ward and Garfield, and findings of the consultant preparing the 2017
Facilities Master Plan that the currently designated southwest comer site is needed to
support future process facilities.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The Sanitation District has acquired a 2.14 acre parcel north of Ellis Avenue in Fountain
Valley. If additional contiguous property is also acquired, the Headquarters Complex,
including Administrative and Laboratory buildings, could be sited in the region bounded
by Ellis Avenue on the south, southbound Ellis off-ramp on the east, 1405 Freeway on
the north, and Ward Street on the west. If no additional property is acquired, then it may
only be feasible to site one building in this area.
TIMING CONCERNS
The CEQA process may take up to one year to complete. If the preferred alternative is
not changed from the southwest corner until a later date, further CEQA work may be
necessary, causing delays in design and construction.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Delays in project schedule and increased construction costs.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 2016 - Authorized the General Manager and General Counsel to approve
escrow documents for the purchase of the Bender Property at 18475 Pacific Street and
18484 Bandilier Circle.
October 2016 - Approved a Standard Offer, Agreement, and Escrow Instructions for
Purchase of Real Estate with Bender Properties for the property at 18475 Pacific Street
and 18484 Bandilier Circle for $10,619,180, and approved AIR Commercial Real Estate
Association Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease.

October 2015 - Board designated the southwest corner of Plant No. 1 for the location for
the Administration Building and Laboratory Building as the preferred alternative for CEQA
evaluation.
June 2015 - Established a new project and budget for Headquarters Complex, Site and
Security, and Entrance Realignment Program, Project No. P1-128.
June 2014 - Approved a Professional Design Services Agreement with HDR to provide
engineering design services for Administrative Facilities Implementation Planning, Project
No. SP-194, for an amount not to exceed $729,597.
November 2013 - Established a budget for Administrative Facilities Implementation
Planning, Project No. SP-194.
October 2013 - Staff presented an overview of the administrative facilities and their need
for rehabilitation or replacement.
June 2012 - Approved a Professional Services Agreement with The Austin Company to
provide engineering services to prepare an Administrative Facilities Master Plan for the
Title 24 Access Compliance and Building Rehabilitation Project, Project No. P1-115, for
an amount not to exceed $175,000.
May 2012 - Authorized the General Manager to negotiate a Professional Services
Agreement for Administrative Facilities Master Plan.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Between June and October 2015, staff evaluated four alternative locations for the
Headquarters Complex. Based on the analysis, staff recommended that the
Headquarters Complex be constructed in the southwest area of the plant. As staff began
design efforts in the southwest area, however, it became apparent that this location was
not compatible for the use. Further evaluation revealed these incompatibilities:
Page 3 of 4
• Intersection at Garfield and Ward is currently deficient based on an OCTA study.
Additional traffic at this intersection would cause further deficiency.
• Widening of Ward south of Garfield would require relocation of power poles. Even if
this were agreed to be undertaken by Southern California Edison, it would delay the
Sanitation District project.
• 66 kV power poles north of Garfield adjacent to the Plant No. 1 south property line
requires relocation.
• Staff had a preliminary briefing with the City of Fountain Valley staff and concerns
were raised about the impacts on local residents with the Headquarters Complex
located on the southwest area of the Plant 1.
• A recommendation from the 2017 Facilities Master Plan to reserve all available land
in the treatment plant for future process facilities.
Staff continues to negotiate with OCTA to find the best technical, long-term solution and
help offset cost impacts to changes that are attributable to the OCTA Project.
CEQA
CEQA work will continue for Project No. P1-128, following designation of the preferred
alternative.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This complies with the authority levels in the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance.
Budget for the project, Headquarters Complex, Site and Security, and Entrance
Realignment Program, Project No. P1-128, is included in the budget for Fiscal Years
2016-17 and 2017-18 adopted at the June 2016 Board of Directors meeting, Section 8,

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: CENTRAL GENERATION ENGINE JET CELL IGNITORS AND CHECK
VALVES REPLACEMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order to GE Oil & Gas Compression Systems,
LLC for the purchase of replacement Jet Cell Igniters and Check Valves for
rehabilitating eight Central Generation Engines at Plant Nos. 1 and 2 for a total not
to exceed $1,816,495, plus applicable tax and freight; and
B. Approve a contingency of$90,825 (5%).
BACKGROUND
Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) operates eight Central Generation
(Can Gen) engines manufactured by Cooper Bessemer at both treatment plants. The
engines generate approximately two-thirds of our electric demand and the majority of our
process heat demand. Sanitation District staff conducts routine maintenance of the
engines, which requires replacement parts vital to reliable operation. As part of this
routine work, staff has identified the need to replace two jet cell ignitors and check valves
for each engine cylinder (for a total of two hundred and thirty-two of each component) in
order to avoid potential fires erupting on the heads of the main power generating engines
and other operation disruptions. Two such incidents have occurred due to a faulty ignitor
system and the improper fit of certain mechanical engine components.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Protection of Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
• Use all practical and effective means for recovering energy
• Provide a safe and collegial workplace
PROBLEM
In recent years, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has made design and
performance improvements to Jet Cell Ignitor and Check Valve components, rendering
the legacy parts obsolete. Obsolete parts can create engine fires, disrupt operations, and
present a safety risk.
Page 1 of 2
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Staff recommends replacing all Can Gen Jet Cell Ignitors and Check Valves with factory
new/OEM parts from GE Oil & Gas Compression Systems, LLC.
TIMING CONCERNS
Failure to take immediate action on this maintenance issue could result in additional
equipment fires and unsafe working conditions.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The rehabilitation of existing parts does not provide the necessary operation, safety, and
performance operating parameters for the Can Gen engines, and will result in future fires
on the Engine Cylinder Heads.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
GE Oil &Gas Compression Systems, LLC owns the rights to the Cooper Bessemer brand.
This purchase order includes a total of(250) each of the ignitors and check valves, (232)
required parts for the engines, and (18) spares. Volume pricing efficiencies are gained
by purchasing (250) check valves, for a total savings of $64,333 on the first (232). The
total cost of purchasing only (232) of each part would have been $1,749,862. The
additional $66,633 buys the additional (18) spares of all parts.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY IMPROVEMENTS AT PLANT
NO. 1, PROJECT NO. P1-132
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Establish a project for Uninterruptible Power Supply Improvements at Plant No. 1, Project
No. P1-132, with a budget of $4,800,000.
BACKGROUND
Wastewater treatment facilities include critical equipment such as programmable logic
controllers, instrumentation, alarm systems, and network infrastructure that must remain
in continuous service, even during a power interruption. For this reason, this equipment
requires an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which has historically been provided by
small local UPS units. The small local UPS units have proven to be unreliable and
expensive to maintain. As such, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation
District) is implementing a master plan to replace the existing local units with a small
number of regional facilities. The regional facilities consist of bank batteries, a charging
system, power distribution panel, and conduits and wiring to feed the various existing
loads. These regional facilities are more reliable and cost-effective to maintain.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
PROBLEM
At Plant No. 1, the Control Center houses critical plant control and network equipment. A
recent test revealed that the existing UPS for this equipment is not reliable, and even a
brief power interruption could directly impact plant operations and compliance.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Staff recommends implementing a previously-planned regional UPS for the northwest
area of the plant, which includes the Control Center and its critical plant control and
network equipment in a new project at this time since there is no major project scheduled
Page 1 of 2
in this area for the next seven years. The new UPS would be installed in an existing
electrical building. In addition, the proposed project will also install new feeds to existing
loads from a new regional UPS being installed as part of a project currently under
construction.
TIMING CONCERNS
If the project is not authorized at this time, critical equipment in the Control Center is more
susceptible to power loss causing a plant-wide upset.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Not taking action will mean that the Plant No. 1 control system is more susceptible to
failure and the plant would have to be manually controlled and data collection could be
lost.
CEQA
This project will require CEQA documentation, which will be completed as part of the
project.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This item has not been budgeted. The funds will be allocated from the
Replacement, Rehabilitation, and Refurbishment in the cash flow projections,
FY 2016-17 and 2017-18, Section 4, Page 16.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: RETURN ACTIVATED SLUDGE PIPING REPLACEMENT AT PLANT
NO. 2, PROJECT NO. 132-123
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Establish a project for Return Activated Sludge Piping Replacement at Plant No. 2,
Project No. P2-123, with a budget of$15,000,000.
BACKGROUND
Plant No. 2 has two biological secondary treatment facilities, one of which is the Activated
Sludge Plant, with a rated capacity of 90 million gallons per day, which is approximately
60% of the Plant No. 2 rated capacity. The Activated Sludge Plant was built in 1979 and
includes 1,800 feet of sludge return piping and appurtenances ranging in size from
4 inches to 36 inches.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Protection of Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Provide a safe and collegial workplace
PROBLEM
The sludge piping system is severely corroded and has had numerous corrosion-related
leaks resulting in process interruptions and the expenditure of staff time for repairs. The
corrosion is significant enough that a sudden leak could be a safety issue. The tunnel
system in which the pipes are installed is subject to flooding.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Replace the piping, which requires the establishment of a project with a budget in the
amount of$15,000,000.
TIMING CONCERNS
A sudden pipeline rupture could present a safety issue for Operations staff. The loss of
a section of piping could also lead to a short-term loss of operational flexibility in the
aeration basin facilities.
Page 1 of 2
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Reliability of the treatment process will suffer and maintenance staff will be required to
make inefficient unplanned repairs to maintain the full operational ability of the aeration
basin facilities. A sudden pipeline rupture is a risk to staff and equipment in the tunnel
system.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
CEQA
Staff expects this project to be categorically exempt. If confirmed, a Notice of Exemption
will be filed after Board approval of the project.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This item has not been budgeted. The funds will be allocated from the
Replacement, Rehabilitation, and Refurbishment in the cash flow projections,

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: BIOSOLIDS MASTER PLAN, PROJECT NO. PS15-01 INFORMATION
UPDATE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Information Only.
BACKGROUND
One of eight strategic goals identified in the Five-Year Strategic Plan, approved by the
Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Board of Directors (Board) in 2013,
was to study future biosolids management options and solids handling facilities
improvements. Biosolids are nutrient-rich treated organic material recovered through the
treatment of wastewater that can be recycled as a soil amendment. Effective
management of biosolids is critical to resource recovery and permit compliance. In
addition, management of biosolids is the largest single-cost item in the Sanitation
District's budget.
In December 2015, the Board awarded a Professional Services Agreement to Black &
Veatch to prepare a Biosolids Master Plan. The study identified mid- and long-term
strategies for biosolids management, including facility options to generate a biosolids
product that could meet future regulations for a sustainable biosolids beneficial use
market. The project also evaluated the existing solids facilities and alternative
technologies to make recommendations for future capital facilities improvements. In
addition, this project will prepare and certify a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report
for all recommended capital facilities to comply with the California Environmental Quality
Act.
In March 2017, the Draft Biosolids Master Plan was completed. Staff will present a
summary of the Draft Biosolids Master Plan.

Activated-sludge process — A secondary biological wastewater treatment process where bacteria
reproduce at a high rate with the introduction of excess air or oxygen, and consume dissolved
nutrients in the wastewater.
Benthos—The community of organisms, such as sea stars, worms, and shrimp, which live on, in, or
near the seabed, also known as the benthic zone.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) —The amount of oxygen used when organic matter undergoes
decomposition by microorganisms. Testing for BOD is done to assess the amount of organic matter in
water.
Biogas — A gas that is produced by the action of anaerobic bacteria on organic waste matter in a
digester tank that can be used as a fuel.
Biosolids — Biosolids are nutrient rich organic and highly treated solid materials produced by the
wastewater treatment process. This high-quality product can be recycled as a soil amendment on
farm land or further processed as an earth-like product for commercial and home gardens to improve
and maintain fertile soil and stimulate plant growth.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) — Projects for repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of assets.
Also includes treatment improvements, additional capacity, and projects for the support facilities.
Coliform bacteria —A group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals, but also
occasionally found elsewhere used as indicators of sewage pollution. E. coil are the most common
bacteria in wastewater.
Collections system — In wastewater, it is the system of typically underground pipes that receive and
convey sanitary wastewater or storm water.
Certificate of Participation (COP) — A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the
lease revenues of a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues.
Contaminants of Potential Concern (CPC) — Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic
wastewater contaminants.
Dilution to Threshold (DIT) — the dilution at which the majority of the people detect the odor
becomes the D/T for that air sample.
Greenhouse gases — In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, and ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming ("greenhouse
effect').
Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) System — A joint water reclamation project that proactively
responds to Southern California's current and future water needs. This joint project between the
Orange County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District provides 70 million gallons a
day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
Levels of Service(LOS)—Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance.
NDMA — N-Nitrosodimethylamine is an N-nitrosoamine suspected cancer-causing agent. It has been
found in the Groundwater Replenishment System process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide
with extra ultra-violet treatment.
National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) — An alliance of the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA) and Water Environment Federation (WEF), with advisory support from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). NBP is committed to developing and advancing
environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory
compliance and promote public participation in order to enhance the credibility of local agency
biosolids programs and improved communications that lead to public acceptance.
Plume—A visible or measurable concentration of discharge from a stationary source or fixed facility.
Publicly-owned Treatment Works(POTW)— Municipal wastewater treatment plant.
Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) Line — A regional brine line designed to convey 30 million
gallons per day of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the ocean
for disposal, after treatment.
