develop a performance based pay structure for unrepresented employees.
COMPLETE — Negotiations with all six bargaining units have concluded and the three-year
agreements (MOUs) were adopted by the Board of Directors. The performance based pay
structure for the Executive Management Team (EMT)and Managers has been implemented.
• Employee Engagement— Conduct follow-up actions to address issues identified during the
employee engagement survey and the 2015 EMT/Manager leadership training.
COMPLETE — Last year, OCSD conducted an Employee Engagement Survey. Based on the
results of the survey, each department prepared action plans focusing on its own
individualized needs and opportunities.Departments spent the year completing the items on
their action plans. Here are some highlights of department accomplishments:
• General Managers Office: In an effort to assess the effectiveness of OCSD's internal
staff communications, the Public Affairs Office conducted an agency-wide survey.
Operations & Maintenance: Improvements to the computerized maintenance
management system(Maximo)are underway to address problems identified by staff
(see Item 4-Reliability).The sole source procurement process was also streamlined
to reduce wait times in procuring parts,and steps were taken to allow supervisors to
spend more time in the field with staff by reducing administrative requirements.
• Engineering: Launch of"Coffee with the Director of Engineering' which provides an
opportunity for staff to hear about the District and Engineering Department from the
Director of Engineering and then engage in an open question and answer forum.
Page 2
• Administrative Services Department: Identified and implemented new cross training
and mentoring opportunities to increase the development opportunities available to
staff.
• Human Resources: Regularly scheduled all hands meetings and team meetings have
provided more opportunities for open team dialogue,brainstorming,and discussions
on various topics including Human Resources (HR) processes like recruitment. An all
hands training session on "crucial conversations"was completed early in the year to
enhance team communication. The team is participating in more events as a group
and planning activities.
• Environmental Services:The divisions in the newly assembled Environmental Services
department updated their mission statements, division strategic plans,and business
accountability charters. In addition, to enhance staffs professional development,
individual development conversations took place with interested staff and individual
development plans were created.
• Workforce Planning and Development — Address key vulnerabilities identified in the
workforce vulnerability and talent readiness assessments conducted during 2015-16 by
implementing focused job shadowing,job assignments,training, and mentoring. Implement
streamlined policies and procedures to more quickly fill vacancies and ensure adequate
staffing levels.
COMPLETE — A streamlined HR recruitment process was implemented resulting in
approximately 50 positions being filled in the first 6 months of the fiscal year.The improved
recruitment process resulted in a 23% increase in positions filled during FY 16/17 versus
FY 15/16.Additionally, HR staff presented further enhancements to the recruitment process
to the EMT in June that are intended to further reduce position time-to-fill numbers. The
workforce vulnerability and talent readiness assessments were completed.
3. Resource Recovery
• Water Recycline—Execute a new agreement with Orange County Water District(OCWD)for
the ultimate expansion of the Groundwater Replenishment System(GWRS).Work with OCWD
to secure grant funding and complete preliminary engineering and environmental work on
the expanded facilities to recycle effluent from OCSD's Treatment Plant No. 2.
Page 3
COMPLETE - A new agreement with OCWD for GWRS was executed and OCSD is working
cooperatively with OCWD as the lead on several grant funding and low interest loan
opportunities.The Effluent Reuse Study was completed in partnership with OCWD.The CEQA
documentation for GWRS Final Expansion was prepared by OCWD, the lead agency, and
approved by the Board of Directors of both agencies. A design contract was awarded for
modification of the Plant No. 2 Headworks and a new Plant Water Pump station is actively
being designed to support recycling of Plant No. 2 Effluent.
• Research— Present findings and recommendations on Super Critical Water Oxidation to the
Board of Directors.
COMPLETE — Findings on Super Critical Water Oxidation were presented to the Board of
Directors. Staff continue to follow this promising technology that offers many sludge
processing benefits. The vendor continues to refine the design in a pilot plant in Spain.
Delaying the decision on building an OCSD demonstration plant will allow the vendor to
improve the design and incorporate the lessons learned in a new facility if the Board of
Directors chooses to go forward.
• Monitoring Program— Evaluate the nature and frequency of OCSD's current environmental
monitoring for the protection of OCSD's collection system and treatment plants, water
recycling, ocean discharge, and biosolids recycling. Prepare a plan based on the future
monitoring needs of OCSD.
COMPLETE-A comprehensive report of OCSD's current monitoring activities was completed
and a draft report about the future monitoring needs of OCSD was completed on June 6,2017.
4. Reliability
• Planned Maintenance — Complete a gap analysis and implement measures to fully deploy
planned maintenance using Maximo and process improvements to improve reliability.
COMPLETE—A Gap Analysis of the Maintenance/Asset Management program was performed
and recommendations provided. The report pointed out opportunities to strengthen our
program and the implementation of the Enterprise Asset Management tool (Maximo).All of
the recommendations have or are being implemented.Some of the key actions taken include:
1) creating a new maintenance division to provide greater focus on asset management;
2) clarifying staff and leadership roles and responsibilities for a planned maintenance
environment; 3) empowering field staff through formation of focus feedback teams;
Page 4
4) ensuring all assets are in the work management software tool (Maximo); 5) providing
greater flexibility in how work is scheduled; 6) providing comprehensive training to all levels;
7) instituting a change management process; and 8) developing a solution for streamlining
the incorporation of safety analysis and documents into the work management process.
• Civil Assets Maintenance—Implement the operational housekeeping program, and develop
a multi-year program for condition assessment and maintenance of civil assets.
COMPLETE—The civil asset housekeeping program has been developed,loaded into Maximo,
and is being implemented.This includes the regular exercising of process valves and gates and
the removal of accumulated grit from basins and structures. Job plans and preventative
maintenance tasks have been developed and loaded into Maximo and establish a multi-year
program to clean, inspect, and conduct incidental repairs for 182 civil processes and
structures between both treatment plants. The civil maintenance team is also actively
collaborating with the engineering department on the capital improvement program to
conduct corrosion inspections and condition assessments for structures being planned for
rehabilitation or replacement.
• Operational Resiliency— Present the results of the business continuity plan to the Board of
Directors. Identify the most critical functions to keep OCSD operating in the event of a major
event.
IN PROGRESS—This is a joint effort between the Information Technology (IT) and Human
Resources departments. IT deployed business continuity equipment to the backup data
center in Nevada and successfully tested the systems. Routine testing of major applications
critical to OCSD's operations(JDE,SharePoint, Maximo,etc.)are being planned.The Business
Continuity Impact Analysis was completed for the General Manager's Office; Board Services;
Public Affairs Office; Human Resources; Financial Management; Contracts, Purchasing, and
Materials Management;Planning;Project Management Office;Engineering and Construction;
Environmental Compliance;and Environmental Laboratory.We are in the processof selecting
a resource that will facilitate our completion of the business continuity plan and for an
integrated tool that guides users through each step of the plan development process and
facilitates monitoring of that progress. Risk Management and IT drafted a scope of work to
retain a consultant to work with staff in identifying critical functions to keep OCSD operating
in the event of a major event and have participated in several product and consultant demos.
The RFP process will begin before June 30.
Page 5
• Seismic—Conduct an updated study of the seismic safety needs of OCSD's Plant Facilities.
IN PROGRESS —The seismic study design services contract to identify the safety needs of
OCSD's Plant Facilities was recommended to the Board of Directors through the Operations
Committee in June. This comprehensive study will help quantify the seismic risk of shaking
and liquefaction to aid in the project planning and prioritization process.
S. Operational Optimization
• Rates—Conduct planning studies including the Odor Control, Biosolids, and Facilities Master
Plans to develop updated 20-year cost projections.The outcomes of these studies will be used
next fiscal year to complete a rate study to determine the proper allocation of costs among
user types and a recommended future rate structure.
COMPLETE—The Odor Control Master Plan and the Biosolids Master Plan were completed in
May.The Facilities Master Plan 20-year cash flow projection for use in the rate study will be
completed in June. The rate study was incorporated into the Facilities Master Plan so that
iterative optimization of the plan and rate recommendation could be done by the same team.
• OCSD Headquarters Buildin¢— Study site location options and make final site selection to
begin preparing environmental documentation to comply with CEQA.
COMPLETE—The Sanitation District purchased two acres of property across Ellis Avenue in
February 2017 and designated that site as the preferred alternative for its new headquarters
complex.This designation, as the preferred site,is the basis of an on-going CEQA study.

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
farmland 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. coli 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 people detect the odor
becomes the D/T for that air sample.
Greenhouse Gases (GHG) — 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 System (GWRS) — 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 per day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
Levels Of Service (LOS) — Goals to support environmental and public expectations for
performance.
N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) — A N-nitrosamine 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 and Water Environment Federation, with advisory support from the US Environmental
Protection Agency. NBP is committed to developing and advancing environmentally sound and
sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory compliance and promote
public participation 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.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) —A municipal wastewater treatment plant.

process, where bacteria and other microorganisms consume dissolved nutrients in wastewater.
Sludge—Untreated solid material created by the treatment of wastewater.
Total Suspended Solids (TSS)—The amount of solids floating and in suspension in wastewater.
Trickling filter — A biological secondary treatment process in which bacteria and other
microorganisms, growing as slime on the surface of rocks or plastic media, consume nutrients in
wastewater as it trickles over them.
Urban runoff—Water from city streets and domestic properties that carry pollutants into the storm
drains, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Wastewater—Any water that enters the sanitary sewer.
