Preface
Introduction
This report is a Facilities Master Plan for the Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)in
California. Its purpose is to develop wastewater collection,treatment,and resource recovery
facility needs for a 20-year planning period,to the year 2037.
OCSD provides wastewater treatment to over 2.3 million people in central and northern Orange
County. Over the next 20 years,the population of the service area is expected to increase by
20 percent,according to the Center for Demographic Research(CDR). Additionally, severe
drought conditions and water conservation over the last decade have reduced influent flow and
significantly increased wastewater constituent concentrations. If continued,such dynamic
changes in influent wastewater may require action from OCSD to change the infrastructure
needed for treatment and resource recovery.
The Master Planning Process
All master plans have main drivers that lead to capital improvement projects.For this master
plan,the following six drivers were evaluated to identify capital improvement projects (CIPs)
for the next 20 years:
1. Existing Facilities Condition.
2. Changes in Regulations.
3. Facilities Capacity.
4. Redundancy Criteria.
5. District Initiatives.
6. Health and Safety.
Each project in the master plan was initiated to address the impact of one or more of these
drivers on existing facilities.Most of the OF needs for the next 20 years are due to the condition
of existing aging facilities requiring rehabilitation and replacement(R&R).
To better understand the various CIF needs for the facilities,a detailed work flow procedure
was developed.Figure 1 shows a summary work flow schematic for the procedure that was
followed to develop this master plan.

2017 Facilities Master Plan Development Methodology
As shown,the first step was to develop a list of issues for existing facilities that needed to be
addressed with CIPs.This list was developed based on issues identified from previous master
plans not yet addressed,input from workshops with operations and maintenance staff,and
condition assessment site visits of select facilities.
In the second step,the current active CIPs were reviewed,and new projects were added based
on evaluating the list of issues for existing facilities and the other project drivers (regulations,
district initiatives,capacity,redundancy,and health and safety),which resulted in a list of CIPs
for this master plan.
After identifying the list of projects,a detailed project description was developed for each
project,including scope,preliminary schedule,cost estimate,and site layouts.The project's
preliminary schedule was developed based on the year the project must be online to minimize
the impact of the drivers affecting the facilities.Then,preliminary cash flow for the next
20 years was determined,and the project's schedule was adjusted under the Prioritization step
to make sure the cash flow meets OCSD's needs.
This Master Plan is compiled into the following chapters:

information contained in the chapters.
Long-Term Planning Needs
The scope of this master plan includes anticipated changes in the next 20 years based on
projected wastewater flows,established regulatory requirements,and replacement needs for
aging infrastructure. Beyond those 20 years,additional existing facilities will also need
replacement. However,specific projects,project timing,and space planning to accommodate
these replacements have yet to be fully developed.
Furthermore,recent development trends in Orange County suggest more concentrated
population growth.Examples of these trends include:
• High-rise condominiums in the Orange County metro area in the last 5 to 10 years.
• Rezoning of industrial/warehousing/agricultural land use to multiuse
residential/commercial land use in Anaheim and other areas of Orange County.
• Multiuse residential/commercial plans for the Euclid/Talbert area in Fountain Valley.
• A general increase in the number of apartments and condominiums constructed instead of
single-family residences.
In the long-run, these trends could increase the population beyond what is anticipated
according to existing land use plans and population projections.
Shortly after its creation in 1948,OCSD acquired the 109-acre site for Reclamation Plant No. 1 in
Fountain Valley and the 111-acre site for Plant No.2 in Huntington Beach. By having the
foresight to acquire these properties early on,OCSD has been able to expand its service
capability to meet a growing population for well over half of a century. Today,little space is left
to build new facilities. As OCSD's service area population grows and densification occurs,land
around the treatment plants will become less available,constraining OCSD's ability to further
expand its treatment plants.
Additionally,existing facilities will continue to age and will eventually need replacement.
Without space availability,replacing major facilities while continuing to maintain the service
they provide will necessitate an extremely challenging,complicated,and lengthy piecemeal

PREF
reconstruction of the facilities in their existing space and configuration.This may also limit the
ability to employ newer,more-efficient,and less-costly technologies.
To address these issues,OCSD must complete long-term planning for needs beyond year 2037.
A few approaches to long-term land utilization and space planning are summarized in
Technical Memorandum 7 in Appendix A.We also recommend that OCSD conduct a long-term
planning study in the near future to determine whether it can to continue to provide reliable
wastewater treatment for at least the next half century.

1.0 System Overview
1.1 Introduction
This Master Plan updates the 2009 Facilities Master Plan(IMP)prepared by the Orange
County Sanitation District(OCSD).Its purpose is to identify a 20-year Capital
Improvement Program for repairing and replacing existing facilities,meeting new
regulatory requirements,achieving OCSD reliability criteria,and meeting the District's
level of service goals and strategic initiatives. The FMP is necessary to identify the
capital requirements needed to adjust rate structures and achieve OCSD's goals.
1.1.1 OCSD Overview
OCSD is a regional wastewater agency serving 2.6 million people in central and north
Orange County,California. OCSD was formed in 1946 under the County Sanitation
District Act.The current governance structure was established by the California State
Legislature.The 25-member Board of Directors consists of one representative in the
service area from each of the 20 cities entirely or partially located within the service area
or four special districts.The Board also contains one representative from the Orange
County Board of Supervisors.
1.2 Service Area
In fiscal years 2015 and 2016, approximately 185 million gallons per day (mgd) of
influent was delivered to OCSD treatment plants.Most of this flow comes from the 462-
square mile service area,which is divided into 11 sewer sheds.Wastewater is treated at
one of two 100-acre treatment plants:Resource Recovery Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley
and Treatment Plant No.2 in Huntington Beach.
Although most influent reaches the plants by gravity flow,15 off-site pump stations are
available to lift the wastewater or pump over hills where required. Currently,OCSD
owns approximately 367 miles of regional trunk sewer(see Exhibits 1-1 and 1-2).
1.2.1 Local Service Area 7 Transfer
In addition to the regional collection system,OCSD was the local sewer service provider
for Tustin and an unincorporated area north of Tustin until August 1,2016. Afterward,
OCSD transferred ownership of approximately 171 miles of local sewer to the East
Orange County Water District(OCWD).
1.2.1.1 Other Influent Sources
OCSD has an agreement with the Santa Ana Watershed Protection Authority (SAWPA)
to receive desalter concentrate (brine)and industrial and domestic wastewater from the
upper Santa Ana River Basin through the Santa Ana River Interceptor(SARI)line.

IU SY51E.404rRlffW
The Irvine Ranch Water District(IRWD) also has an agreement with OCSD to operate in
OCSD Revenue Area 14(RA 14).As such,OCSD receives wastewater from eastern
portions of the service area and sludge from the IRWD Michelson Water Reclamation
Plant(MWRP).IRWD will stop sending sludge to OCSD when it finishes building a
solids handling facility,anticipated to be completed in December 2018.
OCSD receives some flow from portions of Los Angeles County near the border of the
service area.Some portions of the OCSD service area send flows to Los Angeles County.
Under the Dry Weather Urban Runoff Program,formalized in 2002,OCSD can receive
and treat urban runoff diversions from within the service area. These diversions are
allowed only during dry weather and help alleviate ocean pollution from non-point
sources,a significant contributor to ocean degradation.OCSD's Environmental
Compliance Division administers the program and has issued 19 discharge permits to
date.
Per a 2013 Board resolution,OCSD agreed to treat up to 10 mgd of urban runoff at no
cost to the dischargers. During 2015,the daily average urban runoff flow ranged from
0.36 to 1.33 mgd,with a cumulative total diversion of 307 million gallons.
1.2.2 Other Agency Ownership Rights
1.2.2.4 Santa Ana Water Project Authority
The Santa Ana Water Project Authority (SAWPA)owns the right to discharge up to 30
mgd of wastewater into the OCSD service area collection system. This is a maximum
regulated right that cannot exceed 30 mgd.
The following agreements govern SAWPA discharges:
1. 1972 Wastewater Interceptor Capacity Agreement.
2. 1996 Treatment and Disposal Agreement (supersedes the 1972 Treatment and
Disposal Agreement).
3. 2013 Settlement Agreement(amended the 1972 and 1996 agreements).
SAWPA also has purchased rights in the treatment system for up to 30 mgd,with 17
mgd currently purchased in the treatment systems. Flows from SAWPA include
wastewater discharged from the upper portion of the Santa Ana River outside the OCSD
service area and treated water from the Stringfellow Superfund Site. These flows are
discharged to OCSD's Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI),which is tributary to Plant
No.1.Since implementing the Groundwater Replenishment System(GWRS),these
flows,which are not permitted for reclamation by the State Water Resources Control
Board,Division of Drinking Water,are diverted from Plant No.1 to Plant No.2.
1.2.2.5 Irvine Ranch Water District
IRWD owns and operates the sewer and treatment systems in OCSD's RA 14.This
includes the rights to discharge treated,untreated,and wastewater solids into OCSD
facilities.
1-2 Iv —Ph.\ pt lCCSDFl M17-CSDQ¢rtswb
IU SFSTEMOVMrO�AW
Numerous agreements,dating as far back as the mid-1980s,govern these discharges.For
the collection system,the primary agreements are:
1. 3/3/1985-"JAO" Agreement(Sections 16 and 17).
2. 1/1/1986-Agreement(Sections 2 and 5).
3. 2/13/2008-Agreement.
4. 7/9/1986-Von Karman Trunk Agreement.
5. 8/12/1992-San Joaquin Hill Planned Community Agreement.
6. 8/11/1993-State Parks Agreement.
7. 7/1/2003-Irvine Business Complex Agreement.
8. 6/28/2010-Orange Park Acres Service Area Transfer Agreement.
Smaller areas of IRWD and OCSD that are tributary to the other agencies'collection
systems also have agreements.Similar to SAWPA,IRWD has treatment plant ownership
rights independent of the collection system agreements.IRWD's ownership in the
treatment plants is generally tied to the actual flows to OCSD for raw wastewater,
wastewater solids,and treated water discharged to the ocean outfall system via the
OCWD Green Acres Project(GAP) system.
1.3 Treatment Facilities
Resource Recovery Plant No. 1 (Plant No.1),in the City of Fountain Valley,receives
flow primarily from the eastern and inland puts of the service area. Exhibit 1-5 provides
an overview of Plant No. 1.
Treatment Plant No. 2(Plant No.2),in the City of Huntington Beach,receives flow from
the western and coastal parts of the service area.Exhibit 1-6 provides an overview of
Plant No.2.
1.4 Interplant Flow Routing
Exhibits 1-3 and 14 show how flows are routed from the major trunk sheds.These
routes are also listed in Table 1-1.

District 5&6 Plant No. Not Plant No.2 Tributary to Plant No.2,with no
Coast 2 pouible means to divert Flows to Plant No. 1.
Plant No.1 is upstream of Plant No. 2. Each Plant No. 1 trunk line can be diverted to
Plant No.2 via the Interplant Diversion,depending on the available capacity in that line.
Most flows that reach Plant No. 2 cannot be diverted to Plant No. 1.However,a number
of diversions upstream of Plant No.2 allow upper portions of the collections system to
be diverted to Plant No.2.
The Knott and Magnolia/Bushard trunks are typically diverted through the Bushard
Diversion Box and Knott Transition Structure to the Ellis trunk,Steve Anderson Lift
Station(SALS),and Plant No. 1.
Flows from the SARI line are tributary to Plant No.1. However,the water is not
approved for reclamation and is diverted to Plant No.2 to avoid contact with the OCWD
supply.
Any treated effluent from Plant No.1 not directed to OCWD for reclamation,as well as
reverse osmosis concentrate from the GWRS,flows by gravity to Plant No. 2.The flow
travels through the 84-inch and 1204nch Interplant Pipelines for disposal through the
Ocean Outfall system.
1.5 Effluent Disposal and Reclamation
Treated effluent from OCSD is a major water supply for Orange County.Through
partnership with OCWD,the OCWD GWRS produces 100 mgd for groundwater
replenishment, and the OCWD GAP facility produces up to 6 mgd of reclaimed water.
Effluent that is not reused is discharged through an ocean outfall system,which includes
a 5-mile primary outfall, and two other permitted discharge facilities that can be used in
special circumstances,as described below.
14 1 CCWD M17-IXSDQ¢rtswb
1U SFS'IEM1I0�
• The primary 120-inch outfall (Discharge 001) extends 5 miles into the ocean and
discharges approximately 200 feet below the ocean surface.
• An emergency 78-inch outfall (Discharge 002)discharges over 1 mile from shore
at a depth of 65 feet.
• Two Emergency Overflow Weirs at Plant No. 2(Discharge 003) discharge
directly to the Santa Ana River during an extreme emergency.
• During peak wet weather events,OCWD receives up to 100 mgd of secondary
effluent that can be discharged to the Santa Ana River pursuant to NPDES No.
CA8000408.
1.5.1 GWRS Final Expansion
OCSD and OCWD have started planning for the GWRS Final Expansion,which
supports OCSD's strategic goal of maximizing water recycling and OCWD's goal of
producing 130 million gallons per day(mgd)of purified recycled water.By supporting
the GWRS Final Expansion,OCSD will be able to recycle most of the wastewater
generated in its service area and treated at Plant No.1 and Plant No.2.Once this project
is implemented,OCSD will deliver approximately 174 mgd of secondary effluent from
both plants to GWRS for the Final Expansion and to the Green Acres Project(GAP)for
Title 22 recycled water.
However,as mentioned above,some of the flows from the SARI line we not approved
for reclamation. To address this,OCSD is implementing a new project to separate and
treat SARI and side-stream flows at Plant No.2 prior to disposal to the outfall.
1.6 Biosolids N1inagement
In December 2003,OCSD completed the comprehensive Long-Range Biosolids
Management Plan(LRBMP),which identified sustainable long-term options for
biosolids beneficial use.This plan established fundamental guidelines for sustainable
biosolids management through diversifying biosolids products,contractors,and
markets. It also supported the use of the National Biosolids Partnership (NBP)
environmental management system(EMS)for biosolids to support quality practices for
biosolids operation.After completing this plan,OCSD implemented most of the
recommendations,such as continuing land application and composting by private firms,
which included supporting the development of new regional merchant compost
facilities.
To this day,OCSD continues to beneficially recycle its biosolids,maintaining a well-
diversified management program. Approximately 50 percent of OCSD's biosolids me
sent to one of several regional compost facilities,while the rest are sent to Western
Arizona for land application.Because the region is densely populated and counties have
specific application bans,the biosolids can be transported up to only 275 miles one way
to land application or compost sites.Nonetheless,OCSD continues to monitor more
local opportunities,including emerging technologies.

IU SYSIE.104kR
Currently,Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 generate dewatered,Class B biosolids cake
suitable for beneficial use.These biosolids either meet the 15-day minimum average
detention time, the minimum average temperature of 95 degrees F,and the average
volatile solids reduction of greater than 38 percent,or they are managed appropriately
to meet regulatory requirements (OCSD 2016).Thus,the biosolids generated at both
plants comply with the EPA requirements for pollutants,vector attraction, and Class B
pathogen reduction.
OCSD previously identified the need for process equipment and structural rehabilitation
on the 18 aging digesters to maintain reliable operation at Plant No.2.OCSD has
concerns with structural deterioration in the digester domes,which were built between
1959 and 1979.
Anticipating the need for structural improvements,including dome replacements for
multiple digesters,OCSD embarked on a structural/seismic hazard evaluation study.
Using the results of this study,OCSD opted to replace existing digesters and associated
facilities.Plant No.2 can accept pre-processed source separated organics(SSOs),which
was the reason co-digestion was evaluated and ultimately deemed feasible.
OCSD is now implementing Project No.PS15-01,Biosolids Master Plan(BMP),to
provide a roadmap and framework for sustainable and cost-effective biosolids
management options. The report consists of multiple technical memoranda that evaluate
existing OCSD solids handling facilities, different treatment alternatives,and
recommendations for future capital facilities improvements.
The conceptual design for future digestion and food waste co-digestion facilities
includes Temperature Phased Anaerobic Digestion(TPAD)processes,ancillary TPAD
facilities,and food waste receiving facilities.The TPAD process facilities include six
thermophilic digesters,six mesophilic digesters,two mesophilic holding tanks,six
thermophilic Class A batch tanks,a digester feed facility,and TPAD sludge cooling.
Ancillary facilities supporting TPAD operation include food waste receiving station,
digester gas handling equipment,ferric chloride addition,hot water loop improvements,
and new steam boilers.These food waste facilities would allow OCSD to receive source-
separated organics for co-digestion.
1.7 Central Generation Facilities
Another major source of resource recovery for OCSD is the Central Generation(Cengen)
Facilities at Plant Nos. 1 and 2.The digesters on site produce digester gas,which is
compressed,dried,and used as fuel in engine generators at the Cengen facilities to
produce electric power.Excess high-pressure gas can be transported between Plant No.
1 and Plant No.2 using an interplant high-pressure digester gas line.This gas line also
helps manage gas production spikes and keeps flaring to a minimum.
The Cengen Systems are one of the three power supply sources providing electricity for
process equipment and other uses throughout the plants.The Cengen engines have
emission controls to meet the latest SCAQMD air quality requirements, allowing them to
produce power using either natural gas,high-pressure digester gas,or a combination of
both.

2.0 Collections System
2.1 Introduction
This chapter of the Master Plan summarizes the collection system,including pipelines,
pump stations,and force mains.
Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)'s 462-square mile service area is divided into
11 sewer sheds. Although all influent reaches the plants by gravity flow,15 off-site
pump stations lift the wastewater within the collection system.OCSD owns and
operates approximately 386 miles of regional trunk sewer (see Exhibits 2-1 and 2-2).
2.2 Trunk Sewers
2.2.1 Overview
The trunk sewer system consists of pipelines,inverted siphons,manholes,and flow
diversion structures. OCSD's trunk sewer system collects wastewater from the collection
systems of local cities and conveys it to two treatment plants.These facilities are split
into eight collection service areas that align with various cities within the County.
Exhibits 2-1 and 2-2 show the local cities,collection service areas,and trunks within the
service area.
The 386 miles of active sewer pipelines were constructed from 1936 to 2015. Most were
constructed between 1950 and 1979,making these pipes between 38 and 67 years old.
Table 2-1 shows the construction and age of the trunk system by decade.

The trunk sewers vary in diameter from 4 inches to 108 inches,with 24 inches being the
most prevalent.About half of the 386 miles of sewer pipelines are greater than 30 inches
in diameter.Table 2-2 lists the miles of pipelines based on their diameter.

The trunk sewer pipelines are constructed mainly of vitrified clay(VCP) and reinforced
concrete (RCP).More than 60 percent is VCP,and more than 30 percent is RCP.Table 2-3
lists the primary groups of pipeline materials and the amount each is made of.In
addition to these materials,many of the pipelines have been internally lined.

Of the 386 miles of pipelines,4 miles represent inverted siphons.Inverted siphons are a
"U" shaped pipeline that conveys wastewater under an obstruction.OCSD's trunk sewer
system includes 115 inverted siphon locations throughout the service area.
In addition to the pipelines,the trunk sewer system includes more than 4,500 manholes.
The manholes are constructed of concrete or fiberglass walls with interior liners that
include polyurethane,polyvinyl chloride,and coal-tar epoxy. The trunk system also
contains more than 100 diversion structures,where wastewater flow can be sent to
multiple downstream pipelines.

2.2.2 Hydraulic Capacity Evaluation
2.2.2.1 Background
Under project J-101,the April 2006 Strategic Plan Update (2006 SPU) developed a model
to identify potential hydraulic capacity limitations in the regional collections system.
The 2006 SPU identified locations where surcharging could occur during peak flow
conditions and recommended that capacity improvements be considered there.These
findings were further evaluated in the 2009 Facilities Master Plan.Many of the project
recommendations were deemed unwarranted due to the depth of surcharge below
ground level.However, a number of collection system projects have been moved
forward and are currently identified as future projects,are in the design and
construction phase, or have been completed.
2.2.2.2 Nbdeline Parameters
The hydraulic model was developed using InfoWorks®CS 8.5 software,taking sewer
network information from the OCSD geo database and flow monitoring information
from the Long-Term Flow Monitoring Project Gob No.J-73-2).To project wastewater
flows,census information and demographic data provided by the Center for
Demographic Research was used.The hydraulic model simulated flow scenarios for
years 2005,2010,2020,and 2030 under dry and wet weather conditions.The wet weather
scenarios were based on a storm event with a ten percent chance of being exceeded in
any one year(e.g.,a 10-year storm).
The existing hydraulic model has transitioned to InfoWorkso ICM 6.5 software and will
undergo a comprehensive update as part of the Collections Capacity Evaluation Study,
PS15-08.The study will reevaluate the master planning effort completed for the 2006
Strategic Plan Update and 2009 Facilities Master Plan and will develop the model to a
higher degree so OCSD staff can use it for more in-depth analysis.A current flow
monitoring and hydraulic modeling project is underway to update this existing model.
This work is expected to be completed in spring 2019 and will update OCSD's sewer
capacity CIP.
2.3 Pump Stations and Force Nhins
2.3.1 Summary
OCSD continues to rehabilitate and replace off-site pump stations to address condition
and code compliance concerns. The off-site pump stations and force mains are identified
and summarized in Table 24,along with pending projects.

2.3.2 Comnnmications to Off-site Stations &SCADAInterface
Each off-site station has a communication link to Plant No. 1 so operations can control and
monitor the off-site stations. These communication links are described in more detail in the
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA) chapter of the Facilities Master Plan(FMP).
However,a summary of these links is provided below for each station.
Currently,there is no backup communication link to any off-site station. These stations are
instead monitored on Digital Equipment Corporation(DEC)workstations,which are now
obsolete. Based on the outcome of the SCADA replacement study,future projects will replace
the DEC workstations.
Current OCSD Standards for instrumentation and control have been implemented at some of
the off-site pump stations. OCSD Standards for instrumentation and control are defined by the
OCSD Process,Control,and Instruments (PC[) group and are not formally published.These
standards have been recently upgraded to enhance the reliability of the off-site pump stations
and include hardwired overrides to activate pumps even during a programmable logic
controller(PLC)failure. The stations not meeting current control standards are noted in the
descriptions for each pump station.
Off-site pump stations that are not to standards lack remote control capability from SCADA and
have only basic monitoring(ON/OFF,wet well levels,flows,and some alarming). The off-site
pump stations designed to current standards function similarly to standard in-plant pump
station design and have the following functionality:
1. Bypass contactors for pump variable frequency drives (VFD).
2. Hardwired override on high-high level.
3. Wet well cleaning cycles for wet wells designed with a hydraulic jump.
2.3.3 Operational Philosophy
This section provides a general overview of the operational philosophy applicable to all OCSD
pump stations.The operator can select from various pump sequences via the SCADA
configuration screen,push buttons,or local control panel.The number of pump duty sequence
selections available at each pump station depends on the number of pumps located at the
station.The pump sequences are changed to maintain a similar run time for all pumps.For
example,the A Street Pump Station has three pumps,meaning three pump duty sequence
selections are available,as shown on the Copeland Roland Sequential Processor(CRISP)
screenshot in Figure 2-1.

2.0 03UPC110?S St EM
Figure 2.1
AStreet Purrp Dtiy Sequence Selection
All pumps shall advance in order of the sequence in case a pump becomes unavailable for
service.For example,if the lead pump fails,the lag pump becomes the lead and the standby
becomes the lag pump.If the unavailable pump becomes available,the PLC will reinstate the
pumps to the selected sequence positions.
2.3.3.1 Constant SrleedPumps
The operator shall be able to adjust the set points that define when the PLC alters the operation
status(ON/OFF) of the pumps via the SCADA system.The duty pump starts and stops as the
wet well level rises and falls below set levels measured by level transmitters in the wet well. If
the duty pump fails,the lag or standby pump will automatically sequence depending on the
number of pumps at the pump station. Constant speed pump stations operate in a fill/draw
mode.
2.3.3.2 Variable Sneed Pumos
The operator shall be able to adjust the set points that define when the PLC alters the operation
status(ON/OFF) of the pumps via the SCADA system.The lead pump starts and stops as the
wet well level rises and drops below set levels measured by level transmitters within the wet
well. To maintain a constant wet well level set between the start and stop levels of the lead
pump,the PLC varies the speed of the lead pump. The lag and standby pumps start and stop
based on the lead pumps' speed. If influent flows increase,the lead pumps speed increases to
maintain the wet well level. If the lead pumps' speed increases above set levels,the PLC will
start the lag pumps and will vary the speed to match the lead pumps' speed to maintain the
specified wet well level.Once started,the lag pumps will stop as the lead pumps' speed
decreases below set levels. If any duty pump fails,the lag or standby pump will automatically
sequence depending on the number of pumps at the pump station.

2.3.4.1 Crystal Cove
2.3.4.1.1 General Description
The Crystal Cove Pump Station is located on the southeast side of the Pacific Coast Highway in
the City of Newport Beach.This pump station was constructed in 1995,with no major
rehabilitation occurring since.
Crystal Cove Pump Station discharges into a gravity sewer that ultimately feeds into the Bay
Bridge Pump Station wet well.The pump station was designed for a flow of 1.5 million gallons
per day(MGD)at 102 feet of total dynamic head (TDH),based on information provided by the
District at a data collection meeting on February 21,2017.This design capacity includes the
future pump not yet installed at the pump station.
2.3.4.1.2 Structural
The wet well is located on the south side of the pump station,with the dry well/pump room
adjacent to the wet well on the north. The wet well is fed by a ductile iron gravity sewer and has
two manhole covers at ground level to provide access for wet well cleaning and maintenance.A
PVC liner was installed on all interior surfaces,except the floor,to protect the concrete from
corrosion. The wet well has an Area Classification of Class I Division 1,per the National Fire
Protection Association(NFPA)820.
qvl/Gm6vLbcwrcnm/CkoVCAYICSD'10339POQM1lti,erebka201]h§s¢rPIeNQ�eptt20CnTNV 2017-COlkctims S,..d x L9
2.0 NnP(.'nOfB St TRd
The pump room/dry well houses the pumps and suction discharge piping. The motor/control
room is at ground level above the dry well housing the motors,MCCs,and VFDs,including a
bathroom.The pump room has an Area Classification of Class I Division 2,and the
motor/control room is considered a non-hazardous area,per NFPA 820. Lifting eyes,hatches,
and skylights are located above each motor and pump to remove motors,pump shafts,pumps
and other equipment.The pumps are situated on concrete pedestals.
The emergency generator room is at ground level south of the motor room and connects to the
pump station building.The emergency generator room is classified as a non-hazardous area,
per NFPA 820.
A valve vault is situated west of the pump station to provide access to valves on the force
mains.
2.3.4.1.3 1lbchanical
The pump station consists of two 40-horsepower (hp) extended,shaft-driven centrifugal pumps
that operate in a one duty,one standby configuration. Drive shafts extend from the centrifugal
pumps in the pump room to the motors at ground level within the control room. The suction
piping extends into the wet well with a bell end,and the pumps discharge into a common
header.A magnetic flow meter is installed on the common force main,which splits into two
force mains within the valve vault.All piping at the pump station is ductile iron.Throughout
the station,gate and plug valves are used for isolation.A concrete pedestal and suction and
discharge piping were installed for a third future pump.
In the pump room, duplex submersible sump pumps are located within a sump. The drainage
and wash down water are pumped into the wet well.
A 6-inch bypass riser is located in the valve vault,providing a means to bypass the pump
station during a power outage.During an outage,portable pumps would pump out of the wet
well,and temporary piping would connect to the bypass riser in the valve vault.
Supply/exhaust fans ventilate the pump room and motor/control room.For the emergency
generator room,ventilation is provided with intake louvers and an exhaust fan.A muffler is
provided on the generator exhaust,and sound proofing is provided on the generator room
interior walls.
2.3.4.1.4 Force Mons
The Crystal Cove Pump Station discharges into two 8-inch ductile iron force mains.The force
mains travel west approximately 105 feet before connecting to the 8-inch ductile iron force
mains in the Pacific Coast Highway.An access manhole is located at the end of the dual 8-inch
ductile iron force mains where the system returns to gravity flow.Access to the force main does
not exist until the system returns to gravity flow 6,000 downstream at a manhole.
2.3.4.1.5 Electrical
Southern California Edison (SCE) delivers power to the pump station via a pad-mounted
transformer on the west end of the pump station building.

2.3.4.3.66 Structural
The MacArthur Pump Station is entirely below grade and can be accessed through a hatch at
ground level. The wet well is located on the south side of the pump station,with the dry
well/pump room adjacent to the wet well on the north. The wet well is fed by a VCP gravity
sewer and a drop pipe connected to the wet well for an alternate inlet.The wet well is not lined,
nor is it self-cleaning. One manhole cover at ground level provides access for cleaning and
maintenance. The wet well has an Area Classification of Class I Division 1,per NFPA 820.
The pump room/dry well houses the pumps and suction/discharge piping and the
motor/control room is located above the dry well housing the motors,MCCs,and VFDs. The
dry well has an Area Classification of Class I Division 2,and the motor/control room is not
classified,per NFPA 820. Although a bridge crane is not present within the station,lifting eyes
are available for pump removal.The pumps are located on concrete pads with a metal frame.
A valve vault houses a flow meter on the force main west of the pump station.
2.3.4.3.67 Nbehanical
The pump station consists of two 60-hp extended,shaft-driven centrifugal pumps that operate
in a one duty,one standby configuration.Drive shafts extend from the centrifugal pumps in the
pump room to the motors at ground level in the control room.The suction piping extends into
the wet well with a bell end,and the pumps discharge into a common header. A magnetic flow
meter is installed on the common force main in a valve vault outside the pump station.
Throughout the station,gate and plug valves are used for isolation. Suction and force main
piping is cast iron,and discharge piping is ductile iron.
A submersible sump pump is located in a sump in the pump room. Drainage and wash down
water are pumped into the wet well.
A submersible pump is located in the wet well and connects to a 4-inch bypass pipe.This pipe
has a check valve and isolation gate valve to pump wastewater to the force main for a means to
bypass the pump station during a power outage.
Supply/exhaust fans ventilate the pump room and motor/control room.
2.3.4.3.68 Force Was
The MacArthur Pump Station cast iron force main connects to a 124nch asbestos cement force
main.The force main travels north along MacArthur Avenue to a sewer manhole on Birch
Street.The pump station force main enters a drop inlet in the discharge manhole that could
provide access for condition assessments on the force mains.
2.3.4.3.69 Electrical
SCE delivers power to this pump station via a pad-mounted transformer on the ground level of
the pump station building.
The normal power supply is provided through a 400A,480V,34,three-wire service entrance
switchboard"CS-1" located below grade on the upper floor.Lighting and single-phase loads
are powered by a 15kVA,480420/240V,10,three-wire dry-type transformer via a local station
panel on the upper floor below grade.

2.2 Collections System Odor and Sulfide Control
2.2.1 OC3 Program Goals and Objectives
The Odor Corrosion Control for Collection System Program (OC3 Program) addresses the
following odor control and corrosion control goals in the regional collection system:
qvl/Gm6vLbcwrcnm/CkoVCAYlCSm0339POQM1lti,erebka201]h§s¢rPIeNQ�eptt20C3DFM 2017-COlkctims S,..d . 245
2.0 03UPC1101S sty'
• Minimize regional collection system odors.
• Optimize the cost to implement the OC3 Program.
• Extend the useful life of the regional collection system by reducing 1-12S atmospheric
corrosion.
• Optimize and integrate odor and corrosion control between the regional collections
system and the wastewater treatment plants.
The specific program objectives include:
1. Level of Service (LOS)-Controlling vapor H25 levels within<25 ppm vapor phase 1-12S
(daily average) and<0.5 mg/L dissolved sulfide liquid phase at each designated control
point in the collections system.
2. Lower the levels of 1-12S odors in the influent trunk lines,and minimize impacts on
wastewater treatment plant operations.
3. Reduce odor complaints to 12 or fewer per year under normal operating conditions in
the collection system.
4. Conduct a thorough investigation of odor complaints and a systematic investigation of
the collection and treatment system to identify major potential contributors and possible
industrial sources.
The following viable liquid phase technologies are used:
• Shock dose application of sodium hydroxide(pH adjustment) to deactivate the sulfide-
generating slime layer.
• Continuous dosing of magnesium hydroxide.
• Continuous dosing of ferrous chloride.
• Continuous dosing of calcium nitrate.
2.2.2 Dosing Locations
Regional Odor Control facilities are shown in Table 2-35.Vendors provide and maintain
equipment through a contract.OCSD either owns the property,or has lease agreements with
the property owners. Dosing is typically done continuously.

2.2.3 Collection System Odor Complaint Response
Off-site collection system odor complaints are routed to the Control Center at Plant No.1.
There,staff investigates the source of the odor,which could be from dry P-traps in the
building's plumbing,faulty vents,and manholes. Manhole odors may coincide with a city
sewer cleaning process.Unpermitted dumping of chemicals has also caused odor problems.
Line cleaning may be conducted for routine maintenance,grease and debris accumulation,
trunk line blockage,or high levels of hydrogen sulfide.Manhole covers can be sealed with duct-
sealing putty and rubber stoppers in the manhole cover pick and vent holes.Gas flaps may also

be installed in the sewer line to prevent air back from migrating upstream above the hydraulic
flow line.
OCSD Source Control Division staff will mobilize to assist with mitigation as needed.In
addition,if an odor other than hydrogen sulfide is encountered,the process engineering
division will conduct additional research or testing to identify the odor type and possible
sources.Samples can be analyzed using standard analytical methods or using sensory methods.
St. Croix Sensory located in Lake Elmo,Minnesota,is a service provider of odor threshold
analyses using methods ASTM E679 and EN13725,with a duplicate sample transported to the
OCSD laboratory for reduced sulfur compounds analysis with GC-FPD. In addition,the OCSD
laboratory performs Method T045 determination of volatile organic compounds in air
collected in specially prepared canisters and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass
spectrometry. OCSD plans to begin operating an odor panel in January of 2010.
2.2.4 Chemical Dosing Hstory
During FY 2002-03,OCSD began testing and continuously dosing magnesium hydroxide and
peroxide-regenerated iron sulfide control(PRI-SC)in the collection system for odor and
corrosion control.The Knott,Miller Holder,Airbase,and District 5 and 6 trunks receive
continuous dosing.The continuous treatment stabilized and significantly reduced the level of
sulfides entering both treatment plants.
During FY 2007-08, the chemicals used for continuous dosing were reevaluated,and the
peroxide portion of the PRI-SC treatment in the collection system was eliminated and
considered for reevaluation.Slug dosing of caustic soda has continued to treat odor hot spots as
needed.
During FY 2008A9,O&M staff conducted three field tests of alternative chemical treatments.
The primary objective was to compare cost and performance. Costs for these field tests of
alternative chemical treatments were compared based on the dollar per pound of sulfide treated
or removed,providing an equitable comparison.One test evaluated calcium nitrate against
magnesium hydroxide on the Newport system. The second test evaluated ferrous chloride and
magnesium hydroxide on the Knott-Interplant Interceptor. The third test evaluated the
feasibility and effectiveness of adding a new calcium nitrate dosing location at the Crystal Cove
Pump Station and the Bay Bridge Pump Station.
For the Newport system studies,calcium nitrate was more cost-effective and met all program
performance objectives. The additional dosing station and treatment at the Crystal Cove Pump
Station has proven successful.For the evaluation on the Knott-Interplant Interceptor,which is
still ongoing.Preliminary results indicate reductions in total solids produced,with no
detrimental effects to the treatment plant's operation. If we further consider the biosolids
hauling cost based on generating solids through Primary and AS treatment,magnesium
hydroxide may be more competitive.
2.2.5 Cooperative Efforts with Ntmber Agencies
A proactive management policy to mitigate or eliminate the impact of corrosion and odor
problems in the local systems was initiated through cooperative efforts with the City of Garden
Grove Sanitary District(GGSD). OCSD conducted baseline(non-treated)sulfide loading
profile/characterization for the GGSD Tiffany Street Pump Station.During FY 2016-17,pilot
249 pwIMSMIaTswenm/CtleWCNOCSD'10339fOW mbke O17 M1Ywr Pl apr2 MD W17-Nbca 3lawn
zo�M}
testing for chemical continuous dosing was evaluated using calcium nitrate at the City of
Garden Grove,Tiffany Pump Station.The test successfully reduced 1-12S level to<1.0 ppm
average.
OCSD coordinated efforts with local agencies and the contractors/suppliers to upgrade
equipment or install new sites at five locations.
2.2.6 Future Studies
Due to significant increases in chemical costs,staff proposes evaluating an innovative treatment
approach that integrates two chemicals(magnesium hydroxide and ferrous chloride)in a
manner that could substantially improve cost-performance.In FY 2009-10,the existing
magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) addition at the Seal Beach Pump Station will be used in
combination with ferrous chloride (FeC12) downstream of the Mg(OH)2.
Adding both chemistries may make FeC12 more efficient by raising the pH of the wastewater.
The mechanism that allows FeC12 to be more efficient is the disassociation of 1125 at a higher
pH,which is a function of ORP and alkalinity.The H2S then converts to negatively charged
ions HS-and 5--,making it easier to bind with positively charged Fe++ion before it forms
another compound. In laboratory scale(ref:Nielsen,et.al.), elevating the pH of the wastewater
to at or near 8.0 the yield/efficiency of the precipitation reaction that forms FeS is improved
such that the following two beneficial outcomes are possible compared to using FeC12 alone:
1. Better sulfide control performance is achieved at the same level of iron dosing(i.e.,
lower target sulfide concentrations reached in liquid and vapor);or
2. Less total(excess) iron concentration is required to achieve the same level of control,
which would reduce iron costs and solids loading to the plant.

3.1 Preliminary Treatment
3.1.1 Overview
Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD) collects and treats wastewater from an estimated
2.6 million people in central and northwestern Orange County.OCSD receives influent from the
Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) through the Santa Ana River Interceptor
(SARI) line at the northeast corner of the service area.OCSD also receives wastewater from the
eastern portion of the Irvine Ranch Water District and sludge from the Michelson Water
Reclamation Plant.
Plant No. 1,in the City of Fountain Valley,upstream of Plant No.2,receives flow from the
eastern,some western,and inland parts of the service area. Each Plant No. 1 trunk line can be
diverted to Plant No. 2 via the Interplant Diversion,depending on the capacity available in that
line.
The Knott and Magnolia/Bushard trunks are normally diverted through the Bushard Diversion
Box and Knott Transition Structure to the Ellis trunk,Steve Anderson Lift Station(SALS),and
Plant No. 1.SALS,which allows for flow balancing between both treatment plants,replaced the
Ellis Avenue Pump Station.
Flows from the SARI line are tributary to Plant No. 1.However,the State Water Resources
Control Board Division of Drinking Water (DDW)has not approved SARI water as a
reclamation source for OCWD. SARI flows are diverted to Plant No.2 through the Interplant
Diversion to avoid contact with the OCWD supply.
3.1.1.1 Trunk Line Connections
Plant No. 1 receives raw wastewater primarily from the eastern and inland parts of the service
area.Plant No. 1 Preliminary Treatment Index and Details are shown on Exhibits 3-1 and 3-2.
Trunk lines connecting to Plant No. 1 are listed in Table 3-1.

3.1.1.2 Flow Routing and Pumping Capacity
All Plant No. 1 trunk lines,except the Ellis Avenue Trunk,connect upstream of the Metering
and Diversion(M&D) structure.The Ellis Avenue Trunk connects to SALS,which discharges to
the Sunflower Pump Station discharge channel.
Under normal operation,Plant No. Ps Headworks No. 2(HW2)provides all the preliminary
treatment at Plant No. 1.Under P1-105,HW2 will be rehabilitated,and Headworks No.1 (HW1)
will be demolished. In this Master Plan, "Headworks" at Plant No. 1 without mention of a
number generally refers to HW2. The P1-105 design criteria for HW2 rehabilitation are provided
in Section 3.1.5 of this chapter.
Flows through the Headworks can be routed to any primary clarifier through three splitter
boxes.The rated influent pumping capacities at Plant No.1 are shown in Table 3-2.

Each rated capacity assumes that one pump serves as a standby unit.
`Refer section 3.1.5 for design criteria for planned upgrades(P1-105).
3.1.1.3 Nbtering and Diversion(NW)Structures
The M&D structure contains flow meters and instrumentation to monitor the wastewater
entering Plant No. 1. The structure has a total of six magnetic flow meters,one for each influent
trunk and one on the diversion line to Plant No.2. Flow from all incoming trunk lines can be
routed to adjacent trunk line meters or to Plant No.2,if capacity is available.

3.1.1.4 Sunflower Pump Station
The Sunflower Trunk enters the M&D structure much deeper than the other trunks.After
passing through a meter in the M&D structure,its flows me lifted by the Sunflower pump
station and discharged to the Headworks Inlet Channel immediately downstream of the M&D
structure.The Sunflower Pump Station has two 108-inch-diameter screw pumps.

3.1.1.5 Steve Anderson lift Station(SAIS)
Flows from the Ellis Avenue Trunk are routed to SALS at Plant No.1,which discharges to the
Sunflower Pump Station discharge channel.A magnetic meter measures flow in that facility.
Flow tributary to P2 is diverted from the Knott and Bushard trunk line through a diversion box
to supplement water to Plant No.1.

3.1.1.6 Aeadworks No. 1
HW1,constructed in 1959,is used only during extreme wet weather events.Screenings and grit
removal were decommissioned at HWl,making it capable only of influent pumping.
The channel that connects HWl to HW2 downstream of the HW2 bar screens has a capacity of
100 mgd,but only two 30-mgd pumps remain at HW1.The existing grit chambers do not
function.Flows can be routed through the chambers,but manual cleaning is required to remove
grit from the bottom of the grit chambers. Flows from HW1 can be routed only to PCs 1-5.
Because HWl is slated for demolishment under P1-105,it should not be considered available
pumping capacity.
3.1.1.7 Headworks No. 2
HW2 provides preliminary treatment at Plant No.1,and includes bar screens,influent
pumping,grit removal,odor control,chemical addition facilities,and primary influent metering
and control structures.
3.1.1.7.1 Bar Screens
HW 2 has four climber mechanically cleaned bar screens.Two screens have a 1-inch clear bar
spacing,and two screen have a 5/8-inch clear bar spacing.The bar screen facility includes an
emergency screen bypass channel.A covered conveyor belt transports screenings to an enclosed
storage bin building for offsite disposal.

3.1.1.7.2 Influent Pumping
HW2 has five 450-horsepower(hp),70-mgd pumps(four duty plus one standby).All pumps
have variable frequency drives (VFDs).
3.1.1.7.3 Grit Removal
HW2 has five aerated grit removal chambers. Each contains four grit-collection hoppers.
3.1.1.7.4 Odor Control
HW2 is fully enclosed.According to smoke and differential pressure testing conducted under
SP-182,fugitive emissions do not occur from HW2 and the trunk lines.
3.1.1.7.5 Chemical Addition Facilities
Chemical addition facilities are present in the preliminary treatment area for odor control and
Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment(CEIM.Hydrogen peroxide is used for odor control
in Headworks 2,but will be replaced with sodium hypochlorite as part of Project P1-105.
Chemical scrubbers 1-4 use sodium hypochlorite,caustic soda,and hydrochloric acid. CEPT is
implemented by the addition of ferric chloride in the primary influent which promotes
coagulation.Odor control and CEPT are discussed in other sections.
3.1.1.7.6 Primary Influent Wering and Control Structures
At the discharge side of the grit chambers are three primary influent splitter boxes. One
connects to PCs 1-5 via a 72-inch-diameter pipeline.The other two boxes connect to PCs 6-31 via
two 90-inch-diameter pipelines.Flow splitting is controlled using weir gates.Although flow
meters are installed on the influent lines,they are unreliable.
Two automatic samplers take samples from the grit chamber effluent channel upstream of the
splitter box before ferric chloride addition for CEPT.
3.1.2 Operational Philosophy
3.1.2.1 Interplant FlowUstnbution
Much of the OCSD raw wastewater tributary flow can be treated by either Plant No. 1 or Plant
No.2. The distribution of flow between the plants can be varied by operating diversion gates at
Plant No. 1 and by the SALS.
The distribution of flow between the plants is generally operated to achieve the following goals:
• Maximize OCWD's reclamation by maximizing flows to Plant No. 1.
• Avoid overloading and under-loading either plant.
• Avoid bringing SARI flow into Plant No. 1 because it is not acceptable for reclamation.
SARI flows are normally diverted to Plant No.2,except during an extreme high-flow
emergency or a special circumstance that limits Plant No. 2 s ability to receive flow. The DDW
has not approved SARI water as a reclamation source because it contains brine discharges from
the upper watershed and treated water from the Stringfellow Superfund site.Thus,OCWD
must cease reclamation operations when SARI flow is brought into Plant No. 1.Once the SARI
flows are routed back to Plant No.2,an estimated 24 hours is required to restore flow to
OCWD.

10PV NaI
For Sunflower flows to enter Plant No. 1,they must be lifted by the Sunflower Pump Station.
The Sunflower Pump Station is normally operated to bring all Sunflower flows to Plant No. 1.
When the Sunflower Pump Station is out of service,or when influent flow exceeds the pump
station's capacity,the flow is diverted to Plant No.2 through the Interplant Diversion.
To optimize OCWD's reclamation at Plant No. 1,Ellis Avenue Trunk flows will vary.During
emergencies or extreme flow events,SALS can be operated to allow additional flow diversion
into Plant No.1.
In addition to the influent raw sewage,Plant No. 1 receives approximately 17 mgd of backwash
flows from OCWD,which are metered and sent directly to Primary Clarifiers 6 through 15.Any
portion of the backwash can be sent to Plant No.2 via the Interplant Diversion.
3.1.2.2 Nbtering and Diversion Structure
Flows from each trunk line normally pass directly to the metering line for that trunk.Each
metering line contains a magnetic flow meter where flow,pH,conductivity, and temperature
are measured. Isolation gates allow for each metering line to be isolated.Diversion gates,
located downstream of the flowmeters,provides the ability to divert flows from one or more
sewers to Plant No.2 via the Interplant Interceptor.Level monitoring is provided at each
upstream compartment for each influent trunk line,as well as in the Sunflower compartment
downstream of the flowmeter.The M&D Structure also includes a drainage sump for draining
influent meter piping prior to meter removal.
3.1.2.3 Sunflower Pump Station
Under normal operation,the Sunflower Pump Station brings all Sunflower flows into Plant No.
1. One constant speed screw pump operates continuously.Two pumps are installed,one acting
as the lead pump,and the other as a standby pump.
3.1.2.4 Steve Anderson lift Station(SAIS)
Wastewater from the Ellis Avenue Trunk flows by gravity to the Steve Anderson Lift Station
(SALS),which discharges those flows to the Sunflower Pump Station discharge channel.
The SALS flow rate varies based on the reclamation and operational needs described above.A
control gate in the intersection of Ellis Avenue and Bushard Street modulates flow to maintain a
constant flow rate,and the SALS pumps maintain a set level in the wet well.
3.1.2.5 Fleadworks M. 1
HWl is a standby facility and does not operate under normal conditions.When HWl does
operate,the wet wells of HW2 and FIW1 operate as one.
Ff Wl contains two 30-mgd pumps with constant speed drives. The level in the wet well is
maintained by varying the speed of the HW2 pumps.Although the grit systems me inoperable,
they act as a conduit to route flows to PCs 1-5. They must,however,be manually cleaned after
use.

3.1.2.6 Headworks No.2
HW2 provides all preliminary treatment at Plant No. 1. It includes bar screens,influent
pumping,grit removal,and chemical addition facilities.The screened material is conveyed to
the rag and grit bin room and then hauled to a landfill.
3.1.2.6.1 Bar Screens
Two of the four climber bar screens are typically in operation and rake automatically based on
timer and differential levels.The timer is the default control and initiates a cleaning cycle at
regular intervals.The differential level control will override the timer control and initiate raking
when the differential level across the screen reaches an operator-adjustable setpoint.
The emergency bypass channel can be used if the bar screens collectively experience plugging
during a wet weather event.Using this bypass allows unscreened flow to enter downstream
processes,increasing maintenance on downstream equipment and facilities.
3.1.2.6.2 Influent pumping
This pump station contains five 70-mgd pumps with variable speed drives that can operate
between 250 and 350 revolutions per minute(rpm). The number of pumps in service depends
on flow.The pump station has a split wet well consisting of three compartments.Under normal
operation,three pumps vary speed to maintain a wet well level.
3.1.2.6.3 Grit Removal
HW2 has five aerated grit removal chambers,with four typically operating at the same time.
Operations staff determines the number of blowers and air flow rates using visual observation.
Grit slurry is withdrawn to a setting tank and then separated by a paddle system that moves the
grit up into the rag and grit bin room.The grit drops into bins to be hauled for landfill disposal.
P1-105 will rehabilitate the grit chambers to improve grit capture and pump the grit to a new
grit washing and dewatering facility.
3.1.2.6.4 Odor Control
Odor control is discussed in detail in Section 3.7.
3.1.2.6.5 Chemical Addition Operations
Chemical addition for odor control is discussed in detail in Section 3.7. Enhanced primary
treatment chemical use is discussed in detail in Section 3.2.
3.1.2.6.6 primary Influent SplitterBox
The primary influent splitter box typically sends flow to PCs 3-31. Modulating weir gates are
adjusted automatically to control the flow split.Only one of the two 90-inch pipelines is
normally used to route flow to PCs 6-31.The second pipeline is used only during PW WF
events. Although flow can be sent to PCs 1-2,these basins are used only during extreme flow
events.
PCs 1-2 are planned for demolition under the F1-126 Primary Clarifiers Replacements and
Improvements at Plant No. 1 Project.PCs 3-5 will be replaced and potentially relocated under
the P1-126 Project.

3.1.3 Current Performance
A Treatment Plant Operational Data Summary (TPODS) is presented in Appendix B.
For FY 2015-16,grit and screenings monthly removal averaged 264 tons at Plant No.1.With an
average flow of 117 mgd,this equates to 148 lbs/day/MG.
In 2000,the grit auger system in HW2's grit removal facility was retrofitted with a grit paddle
system,increasing grit removal by 40 tons per month.P1-105 will replace the grit auger system
with a new grit pumping system followed by flared classifiers and cyclones to further improve
grit removal efficiency.
In 2002,as part of the evaluation for the P2-66 Headworks Project,bar screens with smaller
openings were installed at Plant No. 1.Two of the four bar screens with a 1-inch clear bar
spacing were retrofitted with a 5/8-inch-clear bar spacing,increasing screening removal by 40
percent or 25 tons per month.These bar screens have remained in service.P1-105 will install six
new bar screens with a 5/8-inch clear bar spacing in existing channels.

3.1.6 Criticality Table
The term"criticality," when applied to a particular equipment unit,refers to the likely
consequence of that unit's failure.These failure consequences are broken into categories
according to various process requirements.
The following subsections include information from the revised (2012) Criticality Table,
originally from the 2007 Energy Master Plan.
3.1.6.1 Criticality Categories
Equipment in this process area generally falls into the following categories:
• Water-In: Influent pumping,flow control gates,screening/grit removal.
• Process Control:Instrumentation,lighting panels,communications,SCADA,valve/gate
operators.
• Sump Pumps.
• Area Classification:Ventilation fans.
• Odor Control: scrubber equipment,supply,and exhaust fans.
• Administration/Maintenance.
Water-In(influent pumping)is the main criticality category affected by equipment in this
process area. This includes influent pumps(main sewage pumps),bar screens,and diversion
gates.
3.2 Primary Treatment
After preliminary treatment,primary clarifiers remove the settleable and floatable solids in the
wastewater.Sludge and scum are sent to anaerobic digesters for stabilization.
3.2.1 Overview
The Treatment Index and Details for Plant No.1 are shown on Exhibits 3-3 and 3-4.Table 3-8
summarizes the primary clarifiers at Plant No.1.

PCs 1-2 were built to replace the two original circular clarifiers.These primary clarifiers are now
used only during extreme flow events.They share a common sludge-and-scum-pumping
facility at the southwest end of PCs 1-2,which are planned for demolition under Project P1-126
Primary Clarifiers Replacements.

3.0PIPNCTA.I
PCs 3-4 share a common sludge-and-scum-pumping facility located between them.PC 5 shares
a common sludge and scum pumping facility with PCs 1-2. After PC 6-31 PCs were built,PCs 3-
5 were to be used only in stormflow events. However,these facilities continued to treat primary
flows through 2016. PCs 3-5 have varying levels of deterioration due to corrosion and wear and
tear.
In 2016,PCs 3-5 were taken out of service because the facilities were in poor condition.PCs 3-5
will be replaced and potentially relocated under the P1-126 Project.If repairs are made,OCSD
may consider putting these facilities back online until P1-126 starts construction so the facilities
can operate safely.
PCs 6-31 were built to provide all primary treatment at Plant No.1.However,PCs 6-15 did not
adequately produce sludge density.As a result,before PCs 16-31 were built,primary sludge
from PCs 6-15 was routed to PCs 3-5 for thickening. Currently,dilute sludge from PCs 6-15 is
routed to the east clarifiers of PCs 16-31.
Significant differences exist between the PCs 16-31 east and west clarifiers in the way the sludge
withdrawal systems were designed to operate. These differences are discussed in later sections.

3.O PIPNCTA.1
3.2.2.1 Influent
Following 1IW2,there are three primary influent splitter boxes at the discharge side of the grit
chambers.Splitter Box 3 feeds PCs 1-5 via a 72-inch pipeline.Splitter Boxes 1 and 2 feed to the
PCs 631 Primary Influent Splitter Box (PISB)via one of the two available 90-inch pipelines.
Flow from HW1 is routed to PCs 1-5,but cannot be routed to PCs 6-31.
PCs 16-31 Eastside can receive sludge and scum from the Trickling Filter Sludge and Scum
Pump Station through an 8-inch pipe.This pipe connects to the PCs 16-31 Westside dilute
sludge pump discharge pipe.
PCs 16-31 Eastside can receive primary sludge (dilute sludge)from PCs 6-15 and PCs 16-31
Westside.
3.2.1.2 Waste Streams (WSSPS)
The WSSPS-1 conveys waste flows from certain processes to the primary clarifiers for
thickening.
The WSSPS-1 can convey the following waste streams:
• Primary sludge (if routing primary sludge from PCs 6-31 to PCs 3-5 for thickening).
• Trickling filter sludge.
• PCs 6-31 Scum decant.
• OCWD return streams (GAP backwash,GWRS screenings).
• Scum from the activated sludge secondary clarifiers.
• Sump flows to WSSPS-I.
• Storm flows.
• AS-1 clarifier drainage.
Before Project P1-37 was constructed,the WSSPS conveyed primary sludge from PCs 6-15 to
PCs 35 for thickening.PCs 3-5 are no longer used for thickening.
The WSSPS can pump waste streams to either PCs 1-5 or PCs 6-31. An overflow is also available
to bypass flows to Plant No. 2 through the 78-inch interplant diversion pipeline.
Flows to PCs 1-5 are routed from the 24-inch WSSPS discharge pipe to a 16-inch pipe running
eastward along North Perimeter Road and southward around PC 4 to the PC 1-5 Distribution
Box.A 10-inch pipeline also joins the 24-inch discharge,which is blind flanged at the PCs 3-4
sludge-and-scum pump station.
Flows from the WSSPS-1 to PCs 6-31 are routed southerly from the 24-inch discharge header to
the PISB at the north end of PCs 6-31.The WSSPS is discussed in detail in Master Plan Volume
2,Section 8.
Currently,backwash flows from OCWD are fed exclusively to the Eastside of 6-15 PCs.A future
project to relocate the backwash flow to the primary effluent is recommended to reduce
hydraulic loading on the primaries.
3-12 IXSDFW N17-PbnW LE .
10PI M..1
3.2.1.3 Effluent
Effluent from the primary clarifiers can be routed either to secondary treatment facilities at
Plant No. 1 or to Plant No.2 for ocean disposal. In 2012,OCSD began operating at secondary
standards,and primary effluent is no longer routed for ocean disposal.
Aft primary effluent from PCs 1-5 passes through the Primary Effluent Junction Box(PEJB).All
primary effluent from PCs 6-31 passes through the Primary Effluent Distribution Box (PEDB-2),
except effluent from PCs 6-31 Eastside,which also passes directly to the TFPS (Exhibit 3-5).
The TEES must pump all flow to the trickling filter facility. Flows can be routed from PCs 1-5
through the PEJB,or from PCs 6-31 Eastside.PCs 6-15 Westside and PCs 16-31 Westside basins
cannot be routed to the trickling filter facility.
Primary effluent from PCs 1-5 can be routed to the existing Activated Sludge Plant(AS-1)
through the PEJB;however,the low elevation of PCs 1-5 requires Primary Effluent Pump
Station (PEPS)to pump this flow.Flow from PCs 1-5 cannot be routed to AS-2 because AS-2
does not have a PEPS. Because PCs 6-31 are at a higher elevation,they allow for gravity flow to
AS-1 and AS-2.
PCs 3-5 will be replaced with PCS at a higher elevation and will potentially be relocated under
the P1-126 Project.The new PCs 3-5 will not need to be pumped by PEPS,which may be
demolished under the P1-126 project.
Flows to the outfall at Plant No. 2 are routed through one of the effluent interplant pipelines.
3.2.1.4 Solids Routing
Plant No. 1 uses primary clarifiers to thicken primary sludge from other primary clarifiers.
Before Project P1-37,sludge from PCs 6-15 was sent to PCs 3-5 (via WSSPS)for thickening.
Project P1-37 added PCs 16-31 to PCs 6-15.PCs 16-31 Eastside were intended to be the
thickening basins for PCs 6-15 and PCs 1631 Westside,eliminating the need for PCs 3-5 to
operate as thickening basins.
Primary sludge and scum from PCs 3-5 is pumped directly to the digesters.After the P1-101
project is complete,Operations will have the ability to pump primary sludge to thickening
centrifuges pre-digestion.
After completing P1-101,primary sludge from PCs 16-31 will be pumped to thickening
centrifuges before being pumped directly to the digesters. A pipe line is in place that allows for
diverting primary sludge to Plant No.2 influent.
Scum is routed to scum pits,where water continuously decants as scum accumulates.Scum is
manually pumped to the digester once every one to three days,and scum decant flows by
gravity to WSSPS.The P1-101 project will eliminate the comingling of primary sludge and scum
in the conveyance lines by installing a separate scum pipeline directly to the digesters.

3.2.1.5 Sludge Diversions from Plant ND. 1 to Plant M.2
Plant No. 1 treats more flow to support GWRS.Until P1-101 is online,OCSD lacks sufficient
digester and dewatering capacity to treat the extra solids.While secondary treatment at Plant
No. 1 was expanded as it related to GWRS expansion,Project P1-101 constructed a primary
sludge diversion line.This line can be used to divert sludge solids from Plant No. 1 to Plant
No. 2.
Increased flow into Plant No. 1 and additional secondary treatment facilities recently brought
online have generated solids beyond the existing Plant No.1 digester capacity.To address this,
a future project,P1-101,will construct a permanent line.The new thickening centrifuges
associated with P1-101 will increase the overall solids concentration of sludge pumped to the
Plant No. 1 digesters,reducing the level of solids diversion to Plant No.2.Future NPDES
permits will need to consider solids diversions from Plant No. 1 to Plant No.2.
3.2.1.6 Odor Control Facilities
The odor control facilities are described in detail in Section 3.7. All primary clarifiers are
covered,and foul air is routed to four single-stage chemical scrubbers (Scrubbers 5-8).
3.2.2 Operational Philosophy
To improve effluent quality (TSS and BOD),the primary treatment facilities at both plants use
CEPT consisting of ferric chloride and anionic polymer.The ferric chloride also reduces
hydrogen sulfide(112S) in the digester gas.The rate of sludge draw-off from the sludge hoppers
is balanced to increase sludge density without allowing the sludge to go septic in the clarifiers.
Since the secondary facilities are designed assuming that CEPT is used,CEPT is also significant
to the secondary treatment process. CEPT feed points for Plant No. 1 are summarized in
Tables 10 and 3-11.

With Project P1-37, the intent was for PCs 6-31 to provide all primary treatment at Plant No.1.
However,a more recent decision was made to replace clarifiers 3-5 for additional flexibility as
part of P1-126.
WSSPS-1 has a connection to both PCs 1-5 and to PCs 6-31.Isolation valves in the WSSPS
structure allow flows to be isolated to either group of primary clarifiers.
3.2.2.1 Primary Clarifiers 1 to 5
3.2.2.1.1 Inflow
PCs 1-5 can receive flow from either headworks via a 72-inch pipeline,or from the WSSPS.
3.2.2.1.2 Chemical Dosing
The primary plant is equipped with independent ferric chloride and polymer feed facilities for
CEPS Ferric chloride and polymer feed rates are manually adjusted,and ferric chloride is
typically dosed at approximately 20 mg/L. Operations staff determines polymer rates based on
jar testing.
3.2.2.1.3 Sludge Removal
Primary sludge from PCs 1-5 is pumped with progressive cavity pumps to the Plant No. 1
digester.
3.2.2.1.4 Scum Removal
Scum from PCs 1-5 is collected in a hopper within the clarifiers and is periodically pumped to
the Plant No.1 digesters using progressive cavity pumps.Scum will be conveyed separately
from sludge to the digesters after 111-101 completes.Excess water in the hoppers is pumped
back into the clarifiers.
3.2.2.1.5 Primary Effluent Discharge
Effluent from PCs 1-5 flows to the PEJB. From there,it can be routed to the ocean outfall system,
the TFPS,or to PEPS. If the TFPS and PEPS are off,primary effluent will flow over the PI-9
redwood weir and to the outfall system,bypassing secondary treatment.
3.2.2.2 Primary Clarifiers 6 to 31
3.2.2.2.1 Inflow
Influent from HW2 comes through two 90-inch pipelines,although only one is normally used.
Flow from the two 90-inch pipelines is combined in the Primary Influent Splitter Box(PISB),
which feeds PCs 6-31.
qvl/Gm6vLbcwrctii/CkoVCAYICSn'10339POQ Mmb1ea2017 hhsmPle� 3OSDFM 2017-Pbmib.l.dxx 3-15
10PIP NQI
Flow from the PISB enters a center feed channel that extends to the southern end of PCs 16-31.
The channel end wall was designed so the channel could be extended in the future and flow
could be distributed to the future primary clarifiers.The center feed channel carries an ultimate
Average Daily Flow(ADF) of 218 mgd(358 mgd PW WF). Cut throat flumes distribute flow
from the center feed channel to the existing influent channels on the east and west sides of the
center feed channel.
Flow from the PISB can also be routed directly to the"east or west influent channels" located on
either side of the center feed channel.
The center feed channel is aerated to prevent solids deposition.Aeration blowers and shear
diffusers provide air to the center feed channel and to the east and west influent channels for
PCs 16-31.The existing aeration system installed for the PCs 6-15 east and west channels under
P1-33 remains in service.
Influent enters the clarifiers through influent ports from the influent channels to the basins.
Each clarifier has two ports. Each port has a sluice gate shutoff on the channel side and an inlet
velocity diffuser or"target baffle" on the clarifier side.
3.2.2.2.2 ChemicalDosatg
PCs 6-15 are equipped with ferric chloride and polymer feed facilities for CEPT.Ferric chloride
and polymer feed rates are manually adjusted.Ferric chloride is dosed at approximately 20
mg/L,and anionic polymer is dosed at 0.20 mg/L.Polymer and ferric chloride dosing is based
on jar testing performed by Operations staff.
Adding ferric chloride to the primary influent downstream of HW2 for CEPT continues under
PCs 16-31.To enhance flocculation and solids settling,redwood finger baffles were installed in
the influent end of the clarifiers downstream of the polymer addition point.
Ferric chloride can be added directly to the dilute sludge stream after the dilute sludge flow
meter and before the sludge distribution flumes.
Polymer distribution boxes distribute the polymer solution to each clarifier through overflow
weirs designed to split the polymer flow equally among the basins.From the distribution boxes,
the polymer solution flows by gravity to each clarifier through dedicated lines. As an alternate
system,polymer solution can be distributed from the distribution boxes to the cut throat flumes
through overflow weirs.
3.2.2.2.3 Sludge Removal
PCs 6-15 were constructed with shallow sludge hoppers and do not effectively thicken sludge.
In the past,several configurations for thickening were used. Currently,the solids content of the
sludge is 0.5 percent and is called"dilute sludge".Dilute sludge is withdrawn from PCs 6-15 by
four centrifugal chopper pumps.
The dilute sludge is continuously pumped to the influent channel of PCs 16-31 Eastside for
co-thickening with primary influent. Sludge from PCs 16-31 Westside is thickened in the sludge
hopper and drained to the dilute sludge hopper,before being pumped directly to the digester
using a progressive cavity pump in place of the centrifugal pump originally installed to pump
dilute sludge to PC 16-31 Eastside(Shabbir pump).However,no standby pump is available in
3-16 IXSDFW N19-Pb WLE .
1OPMNTM..1
case of a failure. During a failure,sludge can be pumped using the dilute sludge pumps to the
influent channel PCs 16-31 Eastside for co-thickening with primary influent.
Sludge from PCs 16-31 Eastside is withdrawn using eight progressive cavity pumps installed
under Project P1-124 and is then routed to the digesters.
Under Project P1-101,thickening centrifuges have the capacity for primary sludge thickening.
3.2.2.2.4 Scum Removal
Diluted scum,collected by the tipping troughs in each clarifier basin,flows by gravity
into collection troughs (assisted by air sprayers) and then into the scum pits.All scum pits are
located in the scum galleries.Four scum pits total are provided for PCs 16-31,and two scum
pits total are provided for PCs 6-15.
In the scum pits,floating scum and debris form a layer at the surface.The diluted scum
discharge piping into the pits terminates below the liquid surface elevation to keep the scum
layer from breaking up.The scum decant is then drained by gravity to the WSSPS-1,where the
scum continues to collect and the scum layer thickens.The scum pits are periodically drained,
and the scum is pumped to the digesters.
3.2.2.2.5 Prur ary Effluent Discharge
To control the freefall depth from the launders to the primary effluent channel,modulating
control valves are provided in the discharge line of both the Eastside and Westside effluent
channels.The valves are modulated to maintain a set point level in the effluent channel.
Primary effluent from these basins can be routed to any Plant No. 1 secondary treatment
facility,except for the Westside channel for PCs 6-31,which cannot go to the trickling filters.
The Eastside channel for PCs 6-31 has a connection to the TFPS.Effluent from PCs 6-31 could
possibly be routed to the outfall system,bypassing secondary treatment by overflowing weir
gates at PEDB2.
3.2.3 Primary Clarifier Capacity
In general,the most significant flow rates for master planning are the ADF and Peak Wet
Weather Flow (PW WF).
The ADF capacity is the flow rate the facility can operate at efficiently for long periods.This
type of capacity intends to cover the normal flow range occurring every day.
The PW WF capacity is the maximum flow the facility can operate at within regulatory
compliance for short periods.Because PW WF conditions occur infrequently,operating
occasionally under this condition would not significantly affect the life of the equipment or
plant operating economics.
3.2.3.1 Rated Capacity vs. Installed Capacity
The"installed capacity" refers to the capacity with all installed units in operation.The"rated
capacity" accounts for the possibility of units being out of service for maintenance or other
reasons,such as unexpected equipment failure.Determining the number of units that should be
assumed"out of service" or"standby" is based on the reliability criteria.
Table 3-12 summarizes the PC capacity at Plant No.1.

values are subtracted from the rated influent capacity of PCs.
4 It is assumed that an ultimate 25.0 mgd of microfltration reject from GWRS is returned to PCs 6-15.These
values are subtracted from the rated influent capacity of PCs.This is the full size of the GWRS treatment plant,
which is designed to take up to 175 mgd of secondary effluent from OCSD. (Source: OCSD,2016. GWRS Final
Expansion Implementation Plan, Project No.SP-173, Effluent Reuse Study.)In the future the plan is to relocate
the microfltration reject to primary effluent which will make this capacity available for additional treatment.

3.2.7.1 Criticality Categories
Equipment in this process area,including the main process equipment and any supporting
equipment,generally falls into the following categories:
• Process Control:Power supply transformers and panels assumed to power instrumentation,
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA),and communications equipment.
• Sump Pumps.
• Ocean Permit: PC drives, scum collectors,primary sludge and scum pumps,and agitation
air blowers.
• Area Classification:Ventilation fans in areas classified as either"hazardous" or"explosive."
• Odor Control: Supply and exhaust fans.
• Administration/Maintenance:Noncritical process lighting and heating,ventilation, and air

The Ocean Permit is the main criticality category affected by equipment in this process area.
This includes PC drives and primary sludge pumps.
3.3 Secondary Treatment
3.3.1 Overview
OCSD completed its expansion of the secondary treatment facilities at Plant No. 1 in response to
two major policy changes.In 2002,OCSD decided to upgrade the level of treatment to the full
secondary treatment standards defined in the Clean Water Act.OCSD completed this expansion
in 2012.OCSD also decided to support water reclamation in accordance with the 1999 Strategic
Plan recommendations for the GWRS and the GAP,both of which are operated by OCWD.
The 2002 decision resulted in the consent decree dates shown in Table 3-17.

The elevation of PCs 1-5 does not allow gravity flow to the existing AS-1. For flow from PCs 1-5
to reach AS-1,it must be pumped by the existing PEPS.
The elevation of PCs 6-31 is high enough for gravity flow to AS-1.
AS-2 was constructed at an elevation that allows for gravity flow from PCs 6-31. Because no
primary effluent pumps serve AS-2,flow cannot be routed there from PCs 1-5.However,flow
from PCs 1-5 that is lifted by PEPS can reach AS-2 under special circumstances.

Effluent
OCSD supplies source water to OCWD's GWRS and GAP facilities under the 2002 Joint
Agreement.Effluent produced by the activated sludge process is generally of higher quality
than the effluent produced by the trickling filter process.Therefore,most of the flow comes
from the Activated Sludge process,and the balance(roughly 20 percent)comes from the
trickling filters. Currently,under normal conditions,all Plant No. 1 secondary effluent goes to
OCWD.
Plant water demands (up to 6 mgd) take priority over GAP and GWRS.Any secondary effluent
produced above 6 mgd needed for reclamation or plant water uses is routed to Plant No.2 for
ocean discharge through EJB1 and the Interplant Pipelines.
3.3.1.2 Trickling Filters
Trickling filters were constructed in 2006 under Project P1-76 to add secondary treatment
capacity and to replace a previous trickling filter facility beyond its useful life.The facility's
major components are shown in Table 3-20.

The effluent produced by the trickling filter system can meet an effluent quality goal of 20
mg/L of TSS and 20 mg/L of BODs.The trickling filters also meet GWRS effluent quality
standards needed for BOD and TSS.According to the GWRS agreement,the amount of effluent
from the trickling filters can be no more than 20 percent of the total flow to GWRS,and the
turbidity must be no more than 10 NTU.

3.3.1.2.2 Facility Flow Routing
Influent
Influent sources to this facility can include PCs 1-5 via the PEJB and PCs 16-31 Eastside.All
flows must be pumped by the trickling filter pump station(TFPS).The PCs 1-5 flow is routed
via the PEJB constructed under P1-76.Flows from PCs 1-5 that cannot continue to the TFPS
eventually pass over a weir and go to either AS-1 via the PEPS or to Plant No.2.
Flow from PCs 16-31 Eastside can be routed directly to the TFPS through a 60-inch pipeline.
This flow can be controlled either by PCs 16-31 or by the TFPS.
The TFPS is located immediately upstream of the trickling filters.It includes three vertical
diffusion vane pumps that lift influent and recirculation flows to the trickling filters. Each
trickling filter has one pump,and both share one standby pump.
Effluent
Effluent from the trickling filter clarifiers travels to the Trickling Filter Secondary Effluent
Junction Box No. 1 (TFSE JB 1),which controls the flow distribution between the GWRS and
ocean disposal via Plant No. 2.
3.3.1.2.3 Trickling Filters
This facility's secondary treatment process includes trickling filters with structured cross flow
plastic media and variable speed mechanically driven distributors.The variable speed
distributor allows for flushing to reduce fly and snail populations.For snail control,manual
chemical dosing is used.Ventilation fans draw air down through the filter to supply oxygen to
the biomass.
3.3.1.2.4 Secondary Clarifiers
This facility has two circular trickling filter clarifiers with a center feed/hydraulic sludge
collection mechanism and a flocculator center well.Trickling filter effluent is discharged into
the secondary clarifier through the center column.
To reduce influent velocity and minimize floc shear,the influent flows through one of six outlet
ports to an energy-dissipating inlet(EDI). The EDI design has scoop-shaped ports to direct
water into the flocculation well in a tangential direction,creating a stirring motion to promote
aggregation of the incoming sludge particles with the influent inlet energy.The flocculation
well is sized to limit the maximum downward velocity. A single weir and baffle me mounted in
the inner side of the clarifier wall.
Effluent flows underneath the baffle,over the weir,and into the effluent collection trough.
Settled solids are transported to the center by a spiral-shaped scraper mechanism. The blades in
this mechanism transport sludge more rapidly than conventional plows to provide a lower
mechanism loading,resulting in higher underflow concentrations.
Sludge then moves to the sludge hopper,where it is drawn off by the sludge pumps.Scum is
removed by a high-capacity skimmer on the clarifier surface that incorporates a scum box flush
with each revolution by tripping a spring-actuated slide valve. After each pass,the flush clears
the hopper of any residual scum.A mechanical cleaning system,consisting of a set of moving
brushes,keeps the open baffles,weir,and effluent collection trough free of algae.

3.3.1.2.5 Solids Handling
The Sludge/Scum Pump Station has sludge and scum pumps that share a common discharge
header and route solids to PCs 16-31 Eastside.The P1-101 project included a line that routed this
sludge to either the thickening centrifuges or directly to the digesters.P1-101 also added a
centrate line from the centrate wet well to the TFPS.
3.3.1.2.6 Ventilation Blowers/Odor Control
Fans located immediately outside the trickling filter structure ventilate the trickling filters,
pulling air from intake piping under the filter media and drawing ventilation downward
through the media. Currently,the fans discharge outside the trickling filter through vertical
discharge stacks that enhance air dispersion.
Although the trickling filters were constructed without covers,filter walls were structurally
designed to allow for a cover in the future,if needed for odor control.The design concept was
to have vertical discharge stacks routed to the covers to recirculate the air into the filters,with
48,000 cfm of air exhausted to an odor control system.The covers would be dome shaped,with
a maximum height of 24 feet above the top walls of the filters.
The perimeter of the trickling filters has an aluminum walkway.However,when the covers are
added,removable access hatches to the trickling filter drives would be provided.

AS-1,originally constructed by Project P1-16 and later modified by various projects,provides
secondary treatment using an activated sludge process. The latest upgrade to this facility
involved modifying it for more reliable operation in BOD mode. Only the first-phase facilities
were installed for operation in nitrification/partial denitrification mode.
The ability to nitrify was incorporated to reduce overall solids sent to the digesters;it could also
be needed to comply with future regulations on emerging constituents of concern.In addition,
extended SRTs allow for oxidizing pollutants regulated for reclamation and GWRS/GAP
operations.Partial denitrification is envisioned for AS-1 to minimize the potential for floating
sludge from nitrogen gas releases occurring in the clarifiers instead of in the aeration tanks.
The ability to nitrify was originally deemed necessary to meet whole effluent toxicity
requirements associated with implementing GWRS,since several compliance test species seemed
susceptible to high ammonia levels in the ocean outfall.In 2003,the EPA modified several test
species,and OCSD began using disinfection and increased levels of secondary treatment.These
changes minimized the compliance need for nitrification. A number of emerging pollutants of
concern could be removed by extending the SRT.Thus,installing these capabilities now was the
best decision to ensure future compliance and uninterrupted operations once the GWRS started.
Adding partial denitrification was provided to minimize the potential for floating sludge from
denitrification in the clarifier sludge blankets.Only the first phase of the nitrification upgrades
was installed in 2011. Thus,AS-1 is capable of full nitrification under current operations,but not
at full design capacity.The process is currently operated in full nitrification mode with step feed.
3.3.1.3.1 Facility Flow Routing
Influent
Influent to this facility can come from various sources.Primary effluent from PCs 6-31 flows by
gravity through the PEDB.Other influent sources(including any combination of primary
effluent from PCs 1-5,trickling filter secondary effluent, and side stream flows)must be
pumped via PEPS.Side stream flows are primarily from the DAFT underflows and drains and
could possibly contain high ammonia concentrations. These side stream flows can now be
routed to the AS-2 facility as well.
The aeration basin influent flow control system includes three flow meters to control two
modulating butterfly valves.Motorized actuators on the four weir gates and level monitoring at
the PEDB were included for additional control options.Flows through PEPS are lifted from the
PEPS wet well to the Aeration Basin Influent Sputter Box by three mixed flow pumps (one
constant speed and two variable speed). A constant speed submersible pump is available to
pump side stream flows when the PEPS is out of service.
Effluent
The east secondary effluent channel directs flow to Junction Box(JB)-A and Secondary Effluent
Junction Box (SEJB)1 to be routed to the Plant Water Pump Station,Plant No.2 for ocean
disposal,or SEJB 4.
The west secondary effluent channel directs flow to SEJB 4 and to the GWRS screening facility
for reuse and GAP.SEJB 2 on the west effluent channel functions as an overflow weir, sending
flow to SEJB 3 and Plant No.2 as necessary.

SEJB 4 flows can flow to either OCWD's GWRS screening facility or to the OCWD GAP pump
station.
3.3.1.3.2 Activated Sludge Aeration Basins
Each parallel activated sludge aeration basin is divided into zones to create aerobic and anoxic
environments and to implement the step-feed configuration.Two anoxic zones are furnished to
provide partial denitrification of the nitrate(produced in the aerobic zones) to minimize the
potential for floating sludge caused by denitrification in the clarifiers.
OCSD has used a plug flow (conventional activated sludge)process in the past,but currently
operates in step feed mode with complete nitrification.The design of AS-1 was upgraded to
operate in the step feed configuration in both the BOD and nitrification/partial denitrification
modes of operation.The LPA piping system was modified to meet the new process
requirement. However,AS-1 does not currently operate in BOD mode.
3.3.1.3.3 Aerobic/Anoxic Environments
To create aerobic and anoxic environments,each basin is divided into 12 zones in a linear
arrangement along the length of the aeration basin,starting with Zone 1.These zones are
described below.
• Zone 1 is further subdivided by a wooden baffle into Zones 1A and 113,each furnished with
two sets of coarse bubble diffusers.
• Zone 2 is furnished with fine bubble diffusers.The diffusers were drilled out to 16/64 inch,
and the membranes were replaced with Sanitaire LP-type membranes to increase air flow to
the zone. This modification increased the maximum air flow to each diffuser to 3 scion.Zone
2 is separated from Zone 3 by a wooden baffle.
• Zones 3 and 4 operate together and are equipped with fine bubble diffusers for operation in
aerobic mode. Zones 3 and 4 are separated from Zone 5 by a wooden baffle.
• Zones 5 and 6 operate together and are equipped with fine bubble diffusers and a vertical
mixer.Zones 5 and 6 are separated from Zone 7 by a wooden baffle.
• Zones 7 through 12 are equipped with fine bubble diffusers and always operate in aerobic
mode.The mixed liquor flows down the length of the basin and exits through an overflow
weir into the aeration basin effluent channel leading to the secondary clarifier mixed liquor
channels.
3.3.1.3.4 Secondary Clarifiers
The secondary clarifiers have two sets of sludge collectors driven by a single motor and
gearbox. Each clarifier has a vertical inlet baffle to reduce the velocity of density currents near
the bottom of the clarifier.A cross-collector at the inlet end of the clarifier moves settled sludge
to a sump at one end.The same motor and gear box in the sludge collectors drive the cross-
collector.
Sludge flows by gravity through an automatic flow control valve into the aerated RAS channel
and the RAS pump station.Each clarifier has four launders.The latest upgrade to AS-1 involved
modifying the longitudinal launders of Clarifiers 1,3,5,7,9,11,and 13 with transverse
launders.New polymer concrete launders were installed to these clarifiers.
3-28 IXSDFW N17-PYmW Ld .
IOPI M..1
Secondary effluent flows out of the clarifiers over V-notch weirs into launders and effluent
channels. Clarifiers 1,3,5, 7,9,11,13,25,and 26 have transverse launders and the rest have
longitudinal launders.These clarifiers have effluent baffles to compensate for any transient
currents,and the 15-feet weir at the effluent end is blanked-off to help with the effort.
Solids that float to the surface (scum) and accumulate in a clarifier are pushed toward the scum
trough by the sludge/scum collectors.A plant water spray system immediately upstream of the
scum trough pushes the scum over the scum weir and into the scum trough.
3.3.1.3.5 RAS
Two channels located between the mixed liquor channels convey RAS to the RAS pump station
wet wells. The east RAS channel serves the odd-numbered secondary clarifiers (1-25),and the
west RAS channel serves the even-numbered clarifiers (2-26). Near the north end of each RAS
channel,RAS enters a drop box in the tunnel.
The RAS pump station contains five pumps.Pumps 1 and 2 are supplied from the west RAS wet
well and pump to the Aeration Basin 6-10 RAS splitter box.Pumps 4 and 5 are supplied from the
east RAS wet weft and pump to the Aeration Basin 1-5 RAS splitter box. Pump 3 is a standby
pump that can be supplied from either east or west RAS wet wells and can pump to either east
or west RAS splitter boxes.
Project P1-82 provided an independent supplemental RAS pumping system between clarifiers 25
and 26.
3.3.1.3.6 WAS
The WAS pumping system consists of four pumps. Pumps 1 and 2 normally pump from the
west RAS drop box to DAFTs 1,2,and 3.Pumps 3 and 4 normally pump from the east RAS
drop box to DAFTs 4,5,and 6. Interconnecting piping valves enable pumps 2 and 3 to take
suction from either east or west RAS drop boxes and pump to either east or west WAS force
mains.FE 10-18 replaced Pump 2 and 3 with smaller pumps in an effort to downsize.
3.3.1.3.7 Scum
Scum on the clarifier surface is moved to the scum weir by the scum/sludge collectors.Water
sprayers near the scum weir move the scum over the weir into the scum trough.A scum gate
opens at timed intervals to move scum from the trough to the piping system,where it flows by
gravity to the WSSPS.
3.3.1.3.8 Aeration Blowers
Five aeration blowers located in the existing blower building serve this facility (the fifth was
added by Project P1-82).All blowers share a common inlet plenum and each blower is served
by a dedicated two-stage inlet filter.The blowers discharge to a common header.
A portion of the aeration air system provides mixing of the aeration basin influent and effluent
channels.Another portion of the air provides mixing in the secondary clarifier mixed liquor and
RAS channels.However, the majority of the air is used in the aeration basins to supply oxygen
for the microorganisms and for mixing.The aeration system is designed to provide adequate air
for either BOD or nitrification modes.

3.O PIPNCTA.1
3.3.1.3.9 Foam Control
Foam control consists primarily of a plant water spray system that helps move scum from
basins and channels to the scum-handling system.Hypochlorite sprays are located in the
effluent end of the aeration basins to help with Nocardia foam control.
In the aeration basins,the spray system prevents scum accumulation by moving foam from the
basins,over the effluent weir,and into the effluent channels. In the aeration basin effluent
channels,scum collects at the three surface-skimming weirs and is diverted into a foam control
box through a motor-operated gate.Inside the box,the foam is treated with a hypochlorte
spray that destroys it.The chlorinated foam drains to the plant drain system.
In the mixed liquor channels,the spray system is designed to keep foam moving into the
secondary clarifiers where it can be removed by the scum-handling system.Spray headers are
located immediately upstream of the inlets to each secondary clarifier. In each secondary
clarifier basin, surface scum is pushed toward the scum trough by the sludge/scum collectors
and is moved into the troughs by the spray system.
3.3.1.4 Activated Sludge Facility ND. 2 (AS-2)
This facility was constructed under Project P1-102.It provides additional secondary treatment
capacity at Plant No.1 though an activated sludge process that includes full nitrification and
denitrification abilities.Although nitrification/denitrification is the current operating mode,the
facility is also capable of being operated in BOD mode.
The facility includes the major components listed in Table 3-22.

3.3.1.4.1 Facility Flow Routing
Influent
AS-2 receives flow from PCs 6-31. Flows from PCs 1-5 cannot reach this facility because the
elevation of PCs 1-5 does not allow gravity flow to this facility and influent pumping is
unavailable.
Plant influent comes from the PEDB2,through the PEPS 2 junction box,and through a flow
splifter box that splits the flow into two 72-inch pipelines. Each serves one side of the aeration
basin complex and is equipped with a flow meter and modulating valve to vary the flow split
between the east and west treatment trains.
Side stream flows to this facility include DAFT underflows and drains.It is possible to use the
west treatment train to treat these flows and/or other flows that we undesirable for
reclamation.The treated flow can then be routed to the outfall system for disposal.
Effluent
Secondary effluent leaves the clarifiers and passes through SEJB 6.Flows from the east and west
trains can either be (1)kept separate and routed separately;or (2)joined to be sent to the GWRS
screening facility or to SEJB 7 and the Effluent Junction Box(EJB),and then finally to Plant No.2
for ocean disposal.In the future, the east train effluent can be used for reclamation.Meanwhile,
the west train can accept flows that are unsuitable for reclamation and be routed for ocean
disposal as mentioned above.
3.3.1.4.2 Activated Sludge Aeration Basins
The initial 20 percent of each basin is baffled into four compartments to function as an anaerobic
selector or an anoxic zone,depending on the operational mode.The remaining 80 percent of the
basin is divided into two aerobic zones to accommodate plug flow or step feed operation. Each
compartment within the selector zone is mixed using mechanical mixers,while the remainder of
each basin is aerated with diffusers.
qvl/Gm6vLbcwrc�/CkoVCAYICS�'10339POQM1lFereb1ea201]h .Ple� 306DFM 2017-Piar b,1. rc 3-31
J.O PIPNCTA.1
RAS and primary effluent enters at the front of each aeration basin.The first zone is an
anaerobic or anoxic zone.Mixers are located in each cell to maintain solids in suspension.Flow
from the anaerobic or anoxic zone moves to the aerobic zone,which is divided into two aerobic
cells.Each cell contains fine bubble diffusers for aeration and mixing.
3.3.1.4.3 Nixed Liquor Recycle
Submersible low-head propeller pumps we mounted on guide rails.They are located at the end
of each aeration basin to return mixed-liquor suspended solids (MLSS)from the end of the
second oxic zone to the first anoxic cell at a flow capacity of up to twice the average annual
plant design flow.
3.3.1.4.4 Secondary Clarifiers
Mixed liquor from the aeration basin trains flows through the missed liquor channel into one of
two clarifier influent splitter boxes. A normally closed isolation gate in the mixed liquor channel
maintains flow from each aeration basin train to its respective clarifier influent splitter box. Each
splitter box has an overflow weir and isolation gate to control the flow split between the
clarifiers in that treatment train.
The clarifiers feature circular tanks with center column feed and support,energy dissipating
inlets (EDIs),influent stilling wells, scum baffles,effluent weirs and launders,and launder
baffles to dissipate density currents.A center-column-supported four-spiral-blade sludge
collector collects the sludge,while scum is collected by a full-radius ducking scum collector
(skimmer)with a rotating scum collection trough.Sludge is removed from the sludge hoppers
by the RAS pump.
3.3.1.4.6 RAS
The RAS pumps are located in a tunnel running north-south between the east and west clarifier
banks.Each of the east and west treatment trains has separate RAS discharge pipelines.
3.3.1.4.7 WAS
The suction of each WAS pump connects to one of the two RAS discharge headers,and all WAS
pump discharges are routed to the solids handling facilities for thickening.The WAS pumps are
located at the north end of the tunnel between the clarifiers,new the intersection between said
tunnel with another proposed tunnel running east-west between the aeration basins and the
clarifiers.
3.3.1.4.8 Scum
Each scum wet well serves two clarifiers.The pump discharge from each scum wet well has a
magnetic flow meter.The pump station is designed to deliver scum from the two clarifiers to
the WAS discharge line and has full redundant capacity.
3.3.1.4.9 Aeration Blowers
The blower building houses the aeration blowers.To reduce noise,each blower has an inlet
silencer or a combination filter silencer,as well as a discharge silencer.
3.3.1.4.10 Odor Control
Each aeration basin has exhaust fans for odor control.Foul odor is exhausted uncontrolled to
the atmosphere.
3ffi IXSDrA N17-PbnW LE .
10PI M..1
3.3.1.4.11 Foam Control
Aeration Basins
The design of the aeration basins provides selective surface wasting for foam control. To move
foam freely to the end of the oxic basins for collection,the top of each baffle wall in the anoxic
and oxic zones are positioned below the water surface. The flow moves through the baffle walls
within the anoxic zone through ports.
This configuration forces the flow to cross through the mixer and minimizes any short-
circuiting along a wall,floor,or surface.The ports in the baffle walls are positioned in opposite
comers and alternate between high and low,except for the baffle wall between the anoxic zone
and the oxic zone.This baffle is elevated so the flow can free fall over the baffle wall from the
anoxic zone to the oxic zone,allowing the foam to flow forward in the anoxic zone.
At the end of the oxic basins,foam is directed to a corner with a surface baffle and surface
spray.A scum/foam pit collects foam with a small amount of mixed liquor,after which the
foam is sent to the DAFT units through surface waste pumps (SWPs).
RAS Sodium Hypochlorite Pumps
The RAS bleach feed system sprays bleach in all aeration basins for foam control. Bleach is also
injected into RAS lines to control the filamentous bacteria.A set of two pumps (2A/2B and
3A/3B) operate in a lead/lag configuration.These pumps provide bleach for aeration basin
spray and RAS headers.The pump discharges join in a manifold to provide redundancy.
Waste Side Stream Pump Station No.2(WSSPS 2)
The WSSPS 2 system drains the basins and clarifiers for maintenance and operations activities.
The drainage is then pumped back to a primary effluent drop box. The pump station also
pumps out surface runoff in and around AS-2 clarifier.
3.3.2 Operational Philosophy
The general operational philosophy for Plant No.1 secondary processes is based on the
following goals:
• Provide secondary effluent to the Plant Water Pump Station for plant water use.
• Provide water to the GWRS and GAP per the agreement with OCWD.
• Meet the NPDES Permit requirements.
• Minimize costs.
• Provide operational reliability over various flow ranges.
Influent
A key aspect of the operational philosophy is to balance flow distribution between the trickling
filters and the two AS plants, and between the various treatment trains within each plant.This
distribution changes constantly with daily variations in influent flow and can change
significantly during wet weather events.

3.OPIMrM..I
All secondary treatment projects have been operational since 2012.The flow rate to each
secondary treatment facility throughout the flow range is controlled to optimize the plants'
operations based on various effluent quantity and quality demands and to ensure that the
maximum hydraulic capacity of each facility is not exceeded.The main flow control features for
each secondary treatment process me described below.
Trickling Filter Facility
Flow from the primary clarifiers is controlled using two flow meters and two control valves.
One flow meter and throttling valve assembly controls flow from PCs 16-31 Eastside to the
TFPS,and the other set controls flow from PCs 1-5 to the TFFS.In addition,influent and
recirculation flows are regulated between two filters that use additional valves and flow
meters.
AS-1
Flow from the PEDB to AS-1 is controlled by a flow meter and throttling valve.Flow from the
existing PEPS to AS-1 is controlled by PEPS.
AS-2
Flow from PEDB is controlled by two flow meter and throttling valve assemblies.One assembly
serves the east side basins and another serves the west side basins.
The normal operating flow routing configurations from the Plant No.1 primary clarifiers (PC)
to Plant No.1 secondary facilities are shown in Table 3-20.
PCs 3-5 are currently off-line and are only used during wet season.
Effluent
A majority of the effluent from the activated sludge secondary clarifiers is sent to OCWD's
GWRS and GAP and to the Plant Water Pump Station.These demands are shown in Table 3-23.
The remainder is sent to the outfall system via the EJB.

3.3.2.1 Trickling Filters
3.3.2.1.1 General
The effluent quality achieved through the trickling filter facility can meet the effluent quality
goal of 20 mg/L of TSS and 20 mg/L of BODs,based on a 30-mgd influent flow.The trickling
filter facility also meets GWRS effluent quality standards for BOD and TSS.
3-34 IXSDo&NIL]-PYmW then
IOPI M..1
According to the GWRS agreement,the amount of effluent from the trickling filters can be no
more than 20 percent of the total flow to GWRS,and the turbidity must be no more than 10
NTU.The trickling filter process does not produce a completely nitrified effluent;ammonia is
present in the effluent.However,the GWRS membrane facility requires the presence of
chloramines,meaning the presence of ammonia in the blended effluent from AS 1,AS 2,and the
trickling filters is beneficial.
3.3.2.1.2 TFFacility Flow Routing
Under normal operation,PCs 16-31 Eastside are the primary effluent source to the trickling
filters.Although the trickling filters do not provide effluent of the same quality as the activated
sludge facilities,they are the lowest cost option for treatment operations.
The flow is split between the trickling filters facility and the activated sludge plants to deliver
higher quality water to the GWRS facility while minimizing costs.However, during peak wet
weather flow,both AS-1 and TF are operated up to maximum capacity.
Each trickling filter currently receives an average of 15 mgd of flow with a 1:1 recycle ratio.
They receive less flow at night(estimated flow of 0 mgd)and more flow during the day
(estimated peak hourly flow of 66 mgd).
Under peak flow conditions(PW WF),up to 75 mgd of primary effluent can come from PCs 1-5
or PCs 6-31.This is regulated by two butterfly valves and flow meters.When flow is taken from
both sets of primary clarifiers,an isolation butterfly valve must be closed so that water from
PCs 6„31 do not flow into PCs 15.Flow to each trickling filter is monitored by a dedicated flow
meter.
Effluent from the trickling filters facility is normally blended with activated sludge effluent at
the GWRS screening facility.Any flow not sent to GWRS goes to Plant No.2 for ocean
discharge.
3.3.2.1.3 Trickling Filters
Flow from the influent pump station is distributed through the VFD-controlled rotating arms at
a uniform rate to each trickling filter.The distributor is equipped with speed control to maintain
the rotating speed of the arm at approximately four minutes per revolution for approximately
23 hours per day.During the remaining hour,the arms rotate at approximately 1 revolution per
40 minutes, so the media can be flushed of excess biomass,snails,and fly larvae.
Approximately 50 percent of flow to the trickling filters is normally recycled back to the influent
pump station where it gets pumped back up to the top of the trickling filters. During low flow,
the recycle rate may be increased accordingly up to 100 percent.
Each trickling filter has four forced-air ventilation fans that provide air to the microorganisms
on the plastic media.
3.3.2.1.4 Secondary Clarifiers
Normally,flow from Trickling Filter No. 1 flows to Trickling Filter Clarifier No.1 (and the same
for No. 2) through a Trickling Filter Effluent Box(TFEB). The TFEB is equipped with motorized
gates that divert flow from both filters to a single basin for maintenance purposes.

10PI M..1
Sludge is removed from a bottom hopper and is continuously removed by a scum beach.Sludge
and scum are delivered to the hopper and beach by rotating sludge and scum arms.
3.3.2.1.5 Solids Handling
Sludge and scum collected from trickling filters are combined and conveyed through a
designated line to the digesters.The sludge can also be routed to the sludge blend tanks at the
new thickening facility.The pump station can be set to run in one of three modes: gravity to
waste side stream pump station(WSSPS),constant flow rate,or time sequence.
3.3.2.1.6 Ventilation/Odor Control
Each trickling filter has ventilation fans that draw air down through the filters to optimize
oxygen transfer and minimize odors.The TF towers are not currently covered;however,domes
may be used to capture foul air,followed by chemical scrubbers to meet LOS for odor control.
3.3.2.1.7 Snail Control
Snails pose a major concern on the trickling filter pump station since they can multiply in large
numbers and cause wear and tear in the pumps.To mitigate this problem,P1-126 is
constructing a new caustic feed system for snail control.
3.3.2.2 Activated Sludge Facility No. 1 (AS-1)
3.3.2.2.1 General
AS-1 is the second least costly secondary treatment option regarding operations.The plant also
provides the best water quality relative to GWRS and GAP deliveries to OCWD.The system can
produce effluent quality that can meet or exceed the effluent quality goal of 20 mg/L of TSS,20
mg/L of BODs,and the turbidity limit of 10 NTU.
The AS-1 facility was upgraded under Project P1-82 to operate in either BOD removal mode or
nitrogen removal mode.The plant currently operates in nitrogen removal mode.
3.3.2.2.2 AS-1 Facility Flow Routing
Influent
Currently,the aeration basin influent flow control system controls the primary effluent flow
into the activated sludge facilities.The control system monitors three flow meters and controls
two modulating butterfly valves. For additional control options,Project P1-82 added motorized
actuators to the four weir gates and level monitoring at the PEDB.
The control system allows the operator to select from three modes of operation:maximizing
flow from PCs 1-5,maximizing flow from PCs 631,or establishing set point flow rates for each
source of influent.With the secondary treatment expansion,all primary effluent receives
secondary treatment and no diversion to Plant No. 2 occurs through EJB and the interplant
pipelines.
Because AS-1 provides a lower-cost effluent suitable for GWRS,its operation will generally
have a higher priority than AS-2. During low flow periods,AS-1 is typically base-loaded at 80
mgd.
Under peak flow conditions,AS-1 can accept up to 136 mgd of primary effluent flow.
3-36 IXSDoM N 17-PYmW Lthe.
10PI M..1
Effluent
Under normal operating conditions,flow is routed from the effluent channels to SEJB 4.This
serves OCWD through either the OCWD pumping station (for GAP) or the GWRS screening
facility.
Under high-flow events,SEJB 2 (on the west effluent channel)functions as an overflow weir,
sending flow to SEJB 3.SEJB 1 (on the east effluent channel)functions as an overflow weir,
sending flow to the 84-inch interplant pipeline.The 84-inch pipeline and the SEJB 3 flow
eventually reach EJB and are routed to the outfall system at Plant No.2.
3.3.2.2.3 Activated Sludge Aeration Basins
The aeration basins have can operate in conventional activated sludge mode or in step feed
mode.Currently, they are operated in step feed mode.In this mode,the return sludge enters at
the head of the aeration basin and primary effluent is split between the head of the basin and
further down the length of the basin.
3.3.2.2.4 Step Feed Configuration
The activated sludge system is designed to operate in the step feed configuration in both the
BOD and nitrification/partial denitrification modes of operation.In both modes,RAS is
conveyed to the front end of the basin and enters Zone 1,and primary effluent is conveyed to
the step feed channel.From the step feed channel, the primary effluent is split between Zones 1
and 5 by adjustable gates in the channel.
In step feed mode, the primary effluent and RAS flows would be configured for step feed. The
primary effluent in the step feed channel is split so 60 percent of the flow goes to Zone 1 and 40
percent goes to Zone 5.The low-air-flow coarse bubble diffusers in Zones 1A and 113 are provide
mixing. Zone 5 has a mechanical mixer,and the airflow to the fine bubble diffusers is shutoff.
The step feed configuration results in a lower clarifier solids loading rate than a conventional
plug flow configuration.
3.3.2.2.5 Aerobic/Anoxic Environments
To create aerobic and anoxic environments,each basin is divided into 12 zones. The zones are in
a linear arrangement along the length of the aeration basin,starting with Zone 1.
• Zone 1 is further subdivided by a wooden baffle into Zones 1A and 113,which have two
sets of coarse bubble diffusers. One set of diffusers provides a large air flow for aeration
when the zones are operated in the aerobic mode.A second set of diffusers supplies
minimal air flow for mixing when the zones are operated in the anoxic mode.
• The goal is to provide mixing but not to increase the mixed liquor dissolved oxygen
concentration. In the nitrification/partial denitrification mode of operation,Zones 1A
and 113 are anoxic,and the RAS flow to Zone IA is the source of nitrates.Zone 1 is
separated from Zone 2 by a wooden baffle.
• Zone 2 has fine bubble diffusers and is always operated in the aerobic mode. The
maximum air flow to each diffuser is 3 scfm each. Zone 2 is separated from Zone 3 by a
wooden baffle.

J.O PIPNCTA.1
• Zones 3 and 4 operate together and are equipped with fine bubble diffusers for
operation in the aerobic mode.Zones 3 and 4 are separated from Zone 5 by a wooden
baffle.
• Zones 5 and 6 operate together and are equipped with fine bubble diffusers and a
vertical mixer.When the basin is operated in the BOD mode,the mixer is turned off and
the air flow to the diffusers is turned on.When the basin is operated in the
nitrification/partial denitrification mode,Zones 5 and 6 are configured for anoxic
operation.The mixer is turned on,and the air flow to the diffusers is turned off.
The nitrified mixed liquor flow from Zone 4 is the source of nitrate to Zones 5 and 6.
Primary effluent is fed to Zone 5 from the step feed channel.Zones 5 and 6 denitrify the
mixed liquor nitrate while consuming primary effluent BOD.Providing denitrification
in the basin helps minimize the potential for floating sludge caused by denitrification in
the secondary clarifier sludge blanket. Zones 5 and 6 are separated from Zone 7 by a
wooden baffle.
• Zones 7 through 12 have fine bubble diffusers and are always operated in the aerobic
mode.The mixed liquor flows down the length of the basin and exits over an overflow
weir into the aeration basin effluent channel leading to the secondary clarifier mixed
liquor channels.
3.3.2.2.6 Selectors
When Zones 1 and 2 are operated in the aerobic mode,they function as an aerobic selector.An
aerobic selector creates the proper kinetic condition(the relationship between growth rate and
substrate concentration) for floc-forming microorganisms to out-compete filamentous
microorganisms.
When Zones lA and 1B are operated in the anoxic mode,they function as an anoxic selector.An
anoxic selector creates the metabolic conditions for floc-forming microorganisms to out-compete
filamentous microorganisms for the available substrate.Specifically,this means that most
filamentous microorganisms cannot utilize substrate under anoxic conditions,although many
can.The anoxic condition in Zones 1A and 1B are created by utilizing the nitrate in the RAS and
minimizing the aeration.
3.3.2.2.7 Denitrification/Floating Sludge
In nitrifying plants where ammonia is biologically converted to nitrate,denitrification can
always occur in the secondary clarifier sludge blanket and can cause floating sludge in the
clarifier.The potential for denitrification in the secondary clarifier sludge blanket depends on
the soluble BOD,dissolved oxygen,and nitrate concentrations in the mixed liquor entering the
clarifier,the dent rifcation rate in the sludge blanket,and the mixed liquor temperature.As
indicated previously,creating anoxic zones in the aeration basin minimizes the potential for
floating sludge by reducing the mixed liquor nitrate concentration before it enters the clarifier.
When operating in the step feed nitrification/partial denitrification mode,Zones 1A,1B,5,and 6
are anoxic.The RAS flow to Zone lA is the source of nitrates for Zones IA and 1B.The nitrate
produced by nitrification in Zone 3 and 4 is the source of nitrates for Zones 5 and 6.

3.3.2.2.8 Secondary Clarifiers
Under normal operations,24 of the 26 rectangular basins are in service.Mixed liquor is evenly
distributed to the clarifier basins through slide gates from the mixed liquor channels.Secondary
effluent flows from the clarifiers are controlled by V-notch weirs into launders and effluent
channels. Clarifiers 1,3,5, 7,9,25,and 26 have transverse launders;the rest have longitudinal
launders.These clarifiers have effluent baffles to compensate for any transient currents,and 15
feet of weir at the effluent end is blanked-off to help.
Each basin has a chain-and-flight system that operates continuously to convey settled sludge to
hoppers and the end of each basin. The sludge then flows by gravity through an automatic flow
control valve into the aerated RAS channel and the RAS pump station.
A gate in the scum trough behind the scum weir periodically opens to drain accumulated scum
into the scum channel.The weir limits the volume of water passing through the gate into the
scum-collection system.
3.3.2.2.9 Aeration Blowers
The aeration air system provides mixing of the aeration basin influent channel,mixed liquor
effluent channel,and RAS channels.However,most of the air is used in the aeration basins to
supply oxygen for the microorganisms and to keep solids suspended.
The blower air flow is metered at the discharge pipe of each blower,the information from
which is used in the automatic blower control system. In addition,air flow is metered at each of
the following air header locations: Zone 1,Zones 2 through 6,Zones 7 through 12,and the
secondary clarifier mined liquor channels.
Dissolved oxygen(DO)probes are installed in each aeration basin at Zones 7 and 12.The DO
reading in Zone 12 monitors the DO in the mixed liquor sent to the secondary clarifiers.
3.3.2.2.10 RAS
RAS is returned from the clarifiers to the RAS wet well either at a constant rate or in proportion
to the aeration basin influent flow rate.The RAS flow rate is determined by the individual
clarifier RAS flow control valves.Each pair of RAS pumps operates to maintain a constant level
in the associated wet well.
3.3.2.2.11 WAS
Pumps 1 and 2 normally pump from the west RAS drop box to Thickening.WAS pumps 3 and
4 normally pump from the east RAS drop box to Thickening. Each pair of pumps operates in a
lead/lag configuration.interconnecting piping valves allow for Pumps 2 and 3 to take suction
from either RAS drop box and pump to either Thickening force main. Two magnetic flow
meters measure flow to Thickening and control pump speed to a set WAS flow rate.
3.3.2.2.12 Scum
Scum on the clarifier surface is moved to the scum weir by the scum/sludge collectors.Water
sprayers near the scum weir help move scum over the weir into the scum trough.A scum gate
periodically opens at timed intervals to move scum from the trough to the piping system,where
it flows by gravity to the WSSPS.

3.3.2.2.13 Foam Control
Under normal conditions,the foam control system is unnecessary and the chlorination system is
used only on as needed to control foaming.
3.3.2.3 Activated Sludge Facility No.2(AS-2)
3.3.2.3.1 General
This facility is a 60-mgd secondary activated sludge treatment plant that can provide full
nitrification and denitri ication.The site layout allows for an ultimate future capacity of 80 mgd.
This facility provides secondary treatment by an activated sludge process with full nitrification
and denitrification. The design was optimized for nitrification and denitriffcation(NDN);
however,flexibility was provided to operate in a BOD mode.The system is also designed to run
as plug-flow or step feed.
The normal mode of operation will be to operate two independent trains.The 40-mgd train will
be available to deliver high-quality secondary effluent for reclamation.The 20-mgd train could
be configured to treat the waste stream and some primary effluent for ocean disposal.This
operational flexibility could eliminate the potential for polymers from the dewatering facility to
interfere with the GWRS treatment.The current and planned mode of operation is NDN mode,
with reclaimable flows for all 60-mgd and non-reclaimable waste streams diverted to Plant
No. 2.
3.3.2.3.2 AS-2 Facility Flow Routing
Influent
This facility receives flow only from PCs 6-31.Flows from PCs 1-5 cannot reach this facility
because their elevation does not allow gravity flow,and no influent pumping is provided.
Plant influent comes from PEDB, through the PEPS 2 junction box,and through a flow splitter
box that splits the flow into two 72-inch pipelines.Each pipeline serves one side of the aeration
basin complex and is equipped with a flow meter and modulating valve to vary the flow split
between the east and west treatment trains.
The control system allows the operator to select two modes of operation:maximizing flow from
PCs 6-31 or establishing setpoint flow rates for each source of influent.
Both AS-1 and AS-2 provide higher quality effluent more suitable for GWRS than the trickling
filter facility. Because AS-2 operates at a higher cost per gallon than AS-1,flows will generally
be maximized to AS-1,with AS-2 receiving flow after AS-1 operates at its peak. Based on this
strategy,flows to AS-2 will be about 25 mgd during the day and will drop to about 10 mgd at
night,when Plant No.1 flow is limited.
Nighttime flow is anticipated to increase over time.The daytime flows between AS-1 and AS-2
should not need exceed 115 mgd.Flows exceeding this amount would be discharged to the
outfall,and would be treated in the trickling filter facility because it provides the lowest-cost
ocean effluent.
Under peak flow conditions,up to 120 mgd of primary effluent flow can come from PCs 6-31.
The flow is controlled by PEDB gates and two modulating valves.

10PI M..1
When P1-101 is complete,ammonia rich side streams can be routed from dewatering operations
to the east side train of AS-2.
Effluent
Under normal operation,flows from the east and west trains can either be kept separate and
routed separately or joined, sending flows to either the GWRS screening facility or through SEJB
6,SEJB 7,or EJB to Plant No.2 for ocean disposal.The east train could treat flows suitable for
reclamation,with the west train treating flows that are not suitable.
3.3.2.3.3 Activated Sludge Aeration Basins
Each treatment train is divided lengthwise into four basins. The initial 20 percent of each basin
is baffled into four compartments to function as either an anaerobic selector or an anoxic zone,
depending on the aerobic mode of operation.The remaining 80 percent is divided into two
aerobic zones for either plug flow or step feed operation.Each of the four compartments within
the selector zone will be mixed using mechanical mixers,while the remainder of each basin will
be aerated with diffusers.
3.3.2.3.4 Step Feed Operation
Under normal operation,the plant will run under step feed operations to distribute the oxygen
more evenly throughout the aeration basin by diverting a portion of the primary effluent(15 to
40 percent) to an inlet at the midpoint of the aeration basin.This configuration could be
operated for either NDN or BOD mode. In the NDN operation,the mixed liquor line would be
operated. To optimize the step feed operation,a baffle wall will be located midway through the
aerobic zone to divide the zone into two cells. Including the baffle reduces the potential for
back-mixing from the midpoint step feed location.
The design process determined that while there is flexibility to step feed under the BOD mode,
it is not anticipated to be necessary and was therefore not modeled.The only reason to operate
step feed would be to reduce the selector loading if the selector does not work due to a
high food to microorganism(F/M)ratio.
Similar to the configuration for plug flow mode,the solids processing side streams were
assumed to be segregated to one treatment train.This would result in a need to have an uneven
flow split and low residual DO concentrations in the first aerobic cell under maximum month
conditions.
3.3.2.3.5 Plug Flow Operation
Although not the normal operation,AS-2 was designed to allow for plug flow operation with an
initial selector configuration for nitrogen control or nitrification mode,which is the optimized
configuration based on nitrogen control.The primary objective is to nitrify for ammonia
reduction,however,due to the oxygen-reduction benefits and the desire to have a selector,an
anoxic zone was provided that allows for partial denitrification.With the NDN operation,
mixed liquor is recycled from the end of the aeration basin to the anoxic zone in addition to
RAS.
To segregate side streams,the thickening and dewatering side streams can be treated in only
one train. Flexibility is provided to treat the side streams in either treatment train.

10PI M..1
In addition to feeding primary effluent to the anoxic zone,flexibility is provided so a portion of
the primary effluent can be diverted into the last half of the second aeration cell. The ability to
divert a portion of the primary effluent to the end of the aeration zone allows bleeding-through
of ammonia if insufficient ammonia is available for chloramine formation at the GWRS.The
BOD mode is identical to the NDN operations,except that the mixed liquor recycle line will not
be in operation.Since no nitrification will occur,no nitrates will be in the RAS,so the conditions
within the selector will be anaerobic and not anoxic.
In addition to the lack of mixed liquor recycle,there are several operating differences between
the NDN mode and the BOD mode.The main difference is that to prevent nitrification,the SRT
will be significantly shorter than with NDN.Under the BOD mode,oxygen requirements will
be reduced,but the effluent ammonia and sludge production will increase significantly.
The design intent of the selector for filament control is tied to the operating SRT.If the operating
SRT is insufficient to support enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR),the selector's
ability to control Nocardia organisms may be compromised.For the BOD mode,the design SRT
was selected based on minimizing nitrification.At this SRT,selector performance may be
inhibited due to the lack of EBPR performance,but Nocardia organisms would be controlled via
wasting.
The basin configuration will still allow flexibility to step feed to the end of the basins so storm
flows can be accommodated.Without nitrification,step feed to increase effluent ammonia is
unnecessary,since sufficient ammonia is present in the effluent to form chloramines.
During design,maintaining a 50/50 split to the two aeration basin trains was not possible when
operating for nitrogen control.This was because of the high ammonia load and extra solids
returned to the aeration basins via the solids processing side streams. Consequently,the train
receiving the side stream loads received less primary effluent flow.An additional operating
change was made with respect to residual DO concentrations.
Due to the extremely high uptake rates in the first half of the aerobic zone under maximum
month loads,it was impossible to provide sufficient aeration to maintain the target residual DO
concentration of 2 mg/L. Consequently,the target residual DO concentration in the first half of
the basin was reduced to 1 mg/L.The second half of the aerobic basins was designed to sustain
a residual DO concentration of 2 mg/L at maximum month loads.Under annual average loads,
a residual of 2 mg/L is maintained throughout both cells.
The peak day aeration demand was calculated based on a residual DO of 1 mg/L. Based on the
lower target residual DO concentration and the low peaking factors,the maximum month
aeration requirements exceed the peak day aeration requirements.
3.3.2.3.6 Secondary Clarifiers
Under normal operation,all basins will be in service operating as two separate treatment trains.
The flow split to the clarifiers is accomplished with two four-way sputter structures adjacent to
the aeration basin effluent channel.The splitter structure allows flexibility to isolate east and
west activated sludge modules for independent operation.

3.OPI M..1
Under normal operations,the sludge collector will run continuously.A sludge blanket level
sensor and transmitter(Ultrasonic) unit provides real-time sludge blanket level indication.A
single unit with two independent sensors(an ultrasonic sludge level sensor and an infrared
scattered light turbidity sensor) are provided.
Sludge is removed from the sludge hoppers by the RAS pump,which operates at an adjustable
sludge flow rate.
Each secondary clarifier has a full radius ducking scum collector(skimmer) and a rotating scum
collection trough.Under normal operation,the scum collector runs continuously as part of the
sludge collector mechanism,and the rotating trough is activated automatically after a preset
number of rotations or an adjustable time interval.
3.3.2.3.7 RAS
Under normal operation,the RAS pumps run continuously based on a set flow rate.
3.3.2.3.8 WAS
Each WAS pump's suction connects to one of the two RAS discharge headers,and all WAS
pump discharges are routed to the solids handling facilities for thickening.Automatic operation
is based on a set flow rate.
3.3.2.3.9 Scum
Each scum wet well is common to two clarifiers.The pump discharge from each scum wet well
delivers scum from two clarifiers to the WAS discharge line.
3.3.2.3.10 Aeration Blowers
Blowers are controlled by oxygen requirements at the basins.
3.3.2.3.11 Exhaust/Ventilation
Each aeration basin has exhaust fans for ventilation.Stagnant air is exhausted to the
atmosphere.
3.3.2.3.12 Foam Control
A scum/foam pit will collect foam with a small amount of mixed liquor,where surface wasting
pumps (SWPs)will send it to the DAFT units. Under normal operations,the two SWPs will run
based on the level in the sump. Each pump has a recirculation line with valve actuator to
provide liquid mixing prior to discharge.
In addition,the RAS bleach feed system can be operated to manage periodic or persistent
bulking or foaming episodes that overwhelm the normal skimming operations.
3.3.2.3.13 Waste Side Stream Pump Station No. 2
The WSSPS 2 system will operate based on the wet well level. This station is anticipated to
operate more heavily during storms because the station collects stormwater from the adjacent
areas.

3.4.1.1 Co-Thickening Centrifuges
Co-thickening centrifuges were installed under Project No.P1-101.These centrifuges have
adequate capacity to co-thicken secondary WAS,primary sludge,and TF sludge.
3.4.1.2 Dissolved Air Flotation Thickeners
The dissolved air flotation(DAF) thickeners that previously thickened secondary WAS may be
demolished,employed to treat foam if a Nocardia upset occurs,or remain as standby to the
thickening centrifuges.The DAFI's may be repurposed in the future,or the tanks may be
demolished if no other purpose is identified for them. If the District considers reusing the tanks
or system components,they should be considered for assessment to determine their repair or
rehabilitation needs.
3.4.1.3 Anaerobic Digesters
The digesters at both Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 use a single-stage mesophilic anaerobic sludge
digestion process.At Plant No. 1,Digesters 7 through 16 operate as anaerobic digesters.Tanks 5
and 6 do not operate as digesters and are instead used as"holders" to store digested sludge
prior to dewatering.

3.4.1.4 Belt Filter Press awatering Facility
The belt filter press dewatering system in Building C and M will be demolished under
Project P1-101. This project will replace the existing belt filter press dewatering facility with
sludge dewatering centrifuges.
3-56 IXSDIW NIL]-PYmW Ld .
3.4.1.5 Dewatering Centrifuges
Project No.P1-101 is installing dewatering centrifuges for dewatering digested sludge prior to
truck loading and transfer to biosolids reuse.The existing belt-presses will no longer be in
service and will be demolished as part of Project P1-101.
3.4.1.6 Sludge Storage and Loading Facilities
Dewatered cake is stored in the four silos housed in the Dewatered Sludge Storage Building.
With a cake solids concentration of 25 percent,these silos will provide 3.4 days of storage under
average-day loadings in 2030.The storage silos were retrofitted with sliding frame discharge
mechanisms and cake silo transfer pumps that are compatible with the drier cake solids
provided by the dewatering centrifuges.
Cake from each silo is conveyed through a dedicated pipe to the truck load-out hopper or to a
load-out bay where the District can directly fill a truck. The load-out bay was installed as a
temporary system in a metal building during P1-101,but OCSD may consider modifying it for
permanent use to ease silo and truck hopper loading operations.To reduce pipe pressure,cake
piping is fitted with slip lubrication.The truck loading hopper includes screw conveyors to help
discharge into the trucks.
The load-out bays are enclosed to facilitate odor and noise control. Dewatered cake is hauled
off-site to remote locations for further processing,reuse,or disposal.
3.4.1.7 Drying Bed Facility
The Drying Bed Facility,located south of Primary Clarifiers 1631,includes three drying beds,a
sawdust storage area,truck wash station,and drainage and wash water utilities.This facility
stores and dewaters material discharged from vactor trucks,biosolids trucks,and digester
cleaning operations. Drying Bed No. 1 and No.2 are used for vactor trucks and other debris.
Drying Bed No.3 is used primarily for excess biosolids or leaks from biosolids trucks.
3.4.1.8 Primary Sludge Aversion Pipeline
Under Project No. P1-101A,a primary sludge diversion line was constructed so Plant No.1 could
divert sludge to Plant No. 2 while the larger P1-101 project was constructed. The pipeline
connects Primary Sludge Pipes 1 and 2 to the bypass section of the interplant diversion near
Headwork No. 2.
This diversion pipeline will remain in service so sludge can be diverted from Plant No.1 to
Plant No.2 in case operational situations or temporary limitations on solids handling systems
require it.
3.4.1.9 Low Pressure Gas Holder
The digester gas produced at Plant No.1 collects in a 42-foot diameter cylindrical tank.A
floating cover on the dry seal type gas holder allows the level of the gas holder to fluctuate
according to gas production. The weight of the piston controls the low-pressure digester gas
system pressure.Digester gas flows from the holder to three digester gas compressors.

3.OPLAMrM..1
Before compression,gas flows through an inlet moisture separator and two parallel gas filters.
These devices remove dirt,dust,moisture,and other foreign matter.The compressors discharge
the digester gas to an 18-inch,stainless steel,high-pressure gas line,where it is used for the
Central Generation System(Cengen).
3.4.1.10 Digester Gas Ayer
The digester gas collected from the digesters is compressed and dried by running chilled water
from the adsorption chillers through a digester gas-to-chilled water heat exchanger. A
refrigerant dryer is available for backup.
3.4.1.11 Digester Gas Compressors
The gas compressor building and the gas holder were completed in 1992. Project J-35-2
upgraded the compressors' motors to bring the facility into compliance with NFPA 820.
According to conversations with Maintenance staff,the compressors were recently rebuilt,but
replacement parts are becoming more difficult to find.Thus,the compressors are scheduled to
be replaced under project J-124.

3.4.1.12 Digester Gas Flares
The existing digester gas flares were constructed and placed in service in 1992.The flares can
dispose of excess digester gas pressurized by the gas compressors.The low-pressure system
does not have any flares.
A five-mile long Interplant Gas Line connects the high-pressure gas systems of Plant No. 1 and
Plant No.2.This provides temporary storage of digester gas,allows the gas production to be
split between the Cengen facilities at both plants,and buffers spikes in gas production,reducing
the need for flaring.
Another recent development affecting the flares has to do with AQMD Title V requirements,
which place stringent limits on overall gas emissions. Various situations can cause the low-
pressure digester gas to vent,adding to those emissions. The main cause is associated with
failure of the gas compressors. As part of J-124,low-pressure flares may be installed.

3.4.2 Operational Philosophy
Currently,solids produced in the treatment facilities are thickened,fed to single-stage
mesophilic anaerobic sludge digesters,dewatered with centrifuges,and then hauled off-site.
At Plant No. 1,some primary clarifiers are used as thickening basins to pre-thicken sludge from
other primary clarifiers prior to sending the sludge to the digesters.When Project 1-101 is
completed in 2018,primary sludge will be sent to a sludge blending tank upstream of the
thickening centrifuges.This "pre-thickening"of the primary sludge is necessary to maintain
acceptable hydraulic loads on the thickening centrifuges.The concentrated primary sludge is
blended with thinner secondary sludge from the activated sludge plant and trickling filters
before the mixture is fed to the thickening centrifuges.
Anaerobic digestion is followed by dewatering centrifuges (post Project P1-101),and dewatered
biosolids are hauled away for off-site processing or reuse.Biogas produced in the digesters is
currently dried,compressed,and used as fuel for electricity production in the Cengen facility.
Heat produced in that process is used for digester heating and other needs,whereas excess gas
is disposed of by high-pressure flares.The following paragraphs describe the operational
philosophy once Project 1-101 is online.
3.4.2.1 Sludge Blending and Thickening Centrifuges
The primary sludge is initially concentrated in primary clarifiers to approximately 4 percent
total suspended solids(TSS).This concentrated primary sludge and secondary sludge from the
activated sludge (approximately 0.75 percent TSS) and trickling filter (approximately 1.2 percent
TSS) systems are fed to mechanically mixed sludge blending tanks.Centrifuge feed pumps
draw the blended sludge from the tanks and supply the thickening centrifuges. Mannich
polymer is injected into the centrifuge feed lines ahead of each centrifuge.The thickened sludge
discharges to wet wells dedicated to each centrifuge,and thickened sludge transfer pumps
convey the material to the digester feed system through two parallel pipes.
Each wet well is served by one duty and one standby thickened sludge transfer pump. Sloppy
sludge (out-of-spec sludge generated during startup and shutdown) and centrate from the
thickening centrifuges is discharged to a common centrate wet-well served by centrate pumps
that can transfer the material to the aeration basins,trickling filters,or Plant No.2.
3.4.2.2 Anaerobic Digestion
In general,as the anaerobic digesters receive new feed sludge, digested sludge is displaced to
digested sludge holding tanks.The holding tanks provide liquid storage for the sludge
dewatering process.
3.4.2.3 Dewatering
Digested sludge transfer pumps draw digested sludge from the digested sludge holding tanks
and feed the dewatering centrifuges. Emulsion polymer is injected into the centrifuge feed lines
ahead of each centrifuge. Each centrifuge discharges to a dedicated inclined screw classifying
conveyor,which discharge dewatered cake onto dedicated horizontal screw cross conveyors.
These conveyors then discharge to two parallel collector conveyors that transfer cake into
dewatered cake hoppers.From there,the cake is pumped with progressive-cavity cake pumps

J.O PIPNCTA.1
to the cake storage silos or directly to the truck load-out hopper.The cake piping is
interconnected so discharge can be routed to any of the silos.
Sloppy sludge (out-of-spec sludge generated during startup and shutdown) drains from the
classifying conveyors into a slop drain sump.Pumps in the slop drain sump pump the slop to
the centrate wet well. Centrate from the dewatering centrifuges is discharged to a common
centrate wet well served by centrate pumps that can transfer the material to the aeration basins,
trickling filters,or Plant No. 2.
3.4.2.4 flying Bed Facility
The Drying Bed Facility includes three drying beds,a sawdust storage area, truck wash station,
and drainage,and wash-water utilities.Debris from the collections system,excess biosolids
from hauling trucks,and material collected during digester cleaning are discharged in the
drying beds and allowed to dewater prior to disposal.Excess moisture drains from the material
and is routed back to the treatment process through the drainage system.Discharged material is
typically covered with sawdust to prevent odors and reduce vector attraction.
An area between Drying Bed Nos.2 and 3 is used to decant vactor trucks before solids are
discharged into Drying Bed No.1 or No. 2. Drying Bed No.3 is primarily used for biosolids.
Biosolids trucks are washed with recycled water in the truck wash station after discharging
materials into Drying Bed.No.3.
3.4.2.5 Gas Flandling
Biogas produced in the digesters is currently dried,compressed, and used as fuel for electricity
production in the plant Cengen Facility.Heat produced in that process is used for digester
heating and other needs. Excess gas that has been compressed can be disposed of by high-
pressure flares. No flares are currently on the low-pressure systems.
3.4.3 Current Performance
Table 3-36 summarizes Plant No. 1 performance for flotation thickeners,primary sludge,
digested sludge,belt presses,biosolids hauling,and odor control for FY 2015-16.For FY 2015-
16,64 percent of the flow was sent to Plant No.1,and 49,455 cu.ft/d was diverted to Plant No 2.
Performance data represents DAFT thickening and belt filter press dewatering because data are
not yet available for the dewatering centrifuges installed under Project P1-101.

3.4.6 Criticality Table
The following information was taken from the Revised Criticality Table (2012)from the original
2007 Energy Master Plan.Equipment in this process area genera falls into the categories listed
below,including the main process equipment and any supporting equipment.
• Process Control:instrumentation,communications equipment,EOC,Ops Control Center,
SCADA,Air compressors,power supply transformers and panels assumed to power
instrumentation,SCADA,and communications equipment.
• Cengen: digester gas compressors.
• Sump Pumps
• Sludge Storage:dewatering units,digesters,solids handling pumps and conveyors,and
truck loading.
• Biosohds Quality: recirculation pumps,mixing pumps, grinders, and DAF equipment.
• Area Classification:ventilation Fans in areas classified as either"hazardous" or"explosive."
• Odor Control: scrubber equipment,supply and exhaust fans,and chemical facilities.
• Administration/Maintenance:non-critical process lighting and HVAC,security,and lights.
The main criticality categories affected by equipment in this process area are explained below:
• Cengen-The gas compressors provide a fuel source for the Cengen engines. Assuming that
natural gas fuel was available,the loss of the gas compressors would not be critical to
Cengen.
• Air Quality Compliance-This category was not included in the 2005 Energy Master Plan
Criticality Tables but is a new issue due to pending AQMD Title V requirements. Unburned
digester gas can be vented when the gas compressors are off-line.
• Biosolids Quality-Sludge mixing equipment(Grinders and sludge mixing pumps),and hot
water system equipment (the boiler and water pumps) are needed to keep digesting sludge
from stratifying.
• Sludge Storage-Solids handling equipment in the dewatering and truck loading facilities is
needed to keep digested solids moving throughout system and to use the full storage
capacity of the storage and truck loading facilities.

3.5 Side Stream Nimagement
3.5.1 Overview
This section discusses the management of plant side streams.At Plant No. 1,various waste
streams are routed back into the treatment process at various locations.The quantity and
characteristics of these streams must be accounted for to understand their impact on the
treatment process.
Side stream sources are as follows:
• Process flows.
• Building drains from sumps and equipment.
• Process basin drains.
• Surface and stormwater drainage to catch basins.
Side streams vary in frequency (continuous,intermittent,or occasional),in quantity,and in
composition.Understanding side streams is important for sizing the facilities that convey the
flows,and for determining the process impacts related to their quantity and quality.Side
streams may also have regulatory or reporting impacts.
The side stream flows identified in this section will be reviewed and updated during OCSD's
Stormwater Master Plan(Project No. PS16-01),scheduled for completion in 2018.Waste Side
Stream Pump Station(WSSPS) capacities will also be reviewed and updated under this effort.
3.5.1.1 Sidestream Sources
Plant No. 1 major side streams are shown on Exhibit 3-12. Plant No.1 side stream sources are
listed and described in Table 3-38 at the end of this section.
3.5.1.1.2 Centrate Pump Station
Project P1-101 is currently constructing the new Centrate Pump Station. Centrate from the
thickening and dewatering centrifuges will be conveyed to the centrate wet well.From there,
centrate will be pumped to a common header and conveyed to either the Plant No.1 Trickling
Filters to Aeration Basins 11-16 or to the Plant No.2 Metering and Diversion structure via a new
18-inch centrate pipeline. Normal operation will involve sending the centrate to the Metering
and Diversion structure for diversion to Plant No. 2.
Centrate will be treated separately from flows that conveyed to the GWRS facility. This is done
to minimize operational impacts on GWRS and to limit additional constituents of emerging
concern in the secondary effluent treated at GWRS.
3.5.1.1.3 Filtrate Pump Station
The Filtrate Pump Station (FPS),located immediately west of Dewatering Building"M;'
conveys belt filter press filtrate to Plant No.2 via the Interplant Diversion pipeline.This
diversion was implemented to avoid sending the cationic polymer in the filtrate to
GWRS/GAP.Polymer increases operational costs for GWRS/GAP in terms of membrane
fouling and costs to remove n-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).The Filtrate Pump Station will
be demolished once Project P1-101 is complete.

3.5.2 Operational Philosophy
As side streams are generated,they are conveyed from their source point to their destination by
gravity,minor pumping facilities,or larger facilities like the WSSPSs.
3.5.3 Current Performance
Using all three pumps at the WSSPS-1 is required during times of elevated flows, specifically
during large storm events,leaving no standby pumps.This exceeds the reliability criteria for
standby pumping.
The capacity and reliability of the WSSPS-1 and WSSPS-2 facilities will be evaluated and
addressed during the upcoming stormwater Master Plan effort,scheduled for completion in
2018.
3.5.3.1 Plant No. 1 Side Streams
Side stream tables will be reviewed and updated,as required,under the stormwater master
planning effort.

3.5.4 Design Criteria
3.5.4.1 General
Plant No. 1 has two WSSPSs:WSSPS-1 located north of PC-6 and WSSPS-2 located south of
Aeration Basin-11.Side streams flow by gravity to the WSSPSs and are pumped back into the
process.
The Centrate Pump Station at Plant No. 1 pumps to the 78-inch interplant diversion line to Plant
No.2 to avoid GWRS/GAP operational problems with emulsion polymer in the centrate.
3.5.4.1.2 WSSPS-1
The WSSPS-1 is the most significant side stream pumping facility at Plant No. 1.Most side
streams occurring at Plant No. 1 flow to this facility.
The station receives continuous and intermittent flows from a variety of sources.Under normal
operation,this station discharges to the PCs 6-31 splitter box (Primary Influent Sphtter Box,
PISB).
The WSSPS-1 can route flow to either PCs 1-5 or PCs 6-31.An overflow is also available to bypass
flows to Plant No. 2 through the 78-inch interplant diversion pipeline.
Flows to PCs 1-5 are routed from the 24-inch WSSPS-1 discharge pipe to a 16-inch pipe running
easterly along North Perimeter Road and southerly around PC 4 to the PC 1-5 Distribution Box.
A 10-inch pipeline is also available,joining the 24-inch discharge,which is blind flanged at the
sludge and scum pump station for PCs 3 and 4.
WSSPS-1 flows to PCs 6-31 are routed southerly from the 24-inch discharge header to the PISB
at the north end of PCs 6-31.
The WSSPS-1 typically conveys the following flows:
• Drainage from Primary Clarifiers 6-31 and Trickling Filter Clarifiers.
• Primary sludge (if routing primary sludge from PCs 6-31 to PCs 1-5 [via the PC 1-5
distribution box] for thickening).
• Trickling filter sludge.
• Scum decant.
• OCWD return streams (GAP backwash,GWRS screenings).
• Scum from the activated sludge secondary clarifiers.
• Clarifier drainage.
• Surface drainage.
• Drainage to the plant sewer system.
The WSSPS-1 includes the major components listed in Table 3-39.

discharges to the Primary Effluent Drop Box (PEDB).
The WSSPS-2 typically conveys the following flows:
• Secondary clarifier drainage(Nos.27,29,31-34).
• Secondary clarifier sump pumps (Nos.27,29,31-34).
• Blower building basement sump pumps.
• Aeration basin sump pumps (Tunnels 30 and 31).

3.6 Effluent Disinfection
3.6.1 Overview
During the summer of 1999,stretches of Orange County beaches were closed due to elevated
levels of fecal indicator bacteria. In response,OCSD and numerous other organizations
conducted extensive studies to determine the sources of this contamination.
The studies found several potential sources,including birds,Talbert Marsh and Santa Ana
River discharge,and groundwater contamination.A hunk line near the coast and the effluent
plume discharging from OCSD's five-mile outfall were also investigated,but were not
identified as contributing sources of bacterial contamination.To be proactive and protect public
health,OCSD began disinfecting its final effluent at both treatment plants in 2002,using
chlorine as a temporary measure to eliminate any uncertainty.
In 2006,OCSD observed degradation of marine life near the ocean outfall. Staff conducted 10
individual studies targeting potential causes for these observed effects.Results showed that
OCSD's use of chlorine for ocean outfall disinfection correlated highly with the observed effects
and was therefore the likely cause of declining biological communities near the outfall.
In addition,staff performed a historical analysis using the most recent 14 years of bacterial data
from beaches monitored by OCSD to assess whether public health protection had improved
since disinfecting its ocean discharge. The results from this assessment showed that disinfecting
OCSD wastewater at a cost of$4.18 million dollars over the 14-year period had no measurable
public health benefit. Bacteria concentrations did not change significantly,either temporally or
spatially,at Orange County beaches.
A 2008 review of OCSD's disinfection practices by a nine-member independent panel of experts
organized by the National Water Research Institute recommended reevaluating the need for
disinfection once full secondary treatment was achieved.With full secondary treatment in
place,these studies indicated that no public health benefit has been gained.There were negative
impacts to the biological community near OCSD's ocean outfall,and progressing with
disinfection would cost OCSD ratepayers approximately$500,000 annually.
Since 2012,with full secondary treatment in place,OCSD no longer discharges disinfected
primary effluent to the ocean,except under emergency conditions.
On March 17,2015,OCSD received approval from the USEPA and Santa Ana RWQCB to stop
disinfection of secondary effluent prior to discharge.Subsequently,since March 2015,OCSD no
longer disinfects secondary effluent prior to discharging to the ocean.Disinfection(and
dechlorination)is needed only if the one-mile short outfall is used under emergency conditions.
3-74 IXSDu,T N 17-PYmW Ld .
3.OPIMTNO..I
These effluent disinfection operational changes will be addressed in OCSUs revised NPDES
Permit(CA0110604),for which the application has been submitted. The following paragraphs
describe the effluent disinfection process under emergency conditions.
The process adds sodium hypochlorite(bleach,or NaOCI) to the wastewater to destroy fecal
coliform and other disease-carrying microorganisms,and then adds sodium bisulfite(NaH.SO3)
to dechlorinate the wastewater and eliminate the impact of sodium hypochlorite in the ocean.
Sodium hypochlorite and other disinfectants are also added to the treatment process for other
purposes,including the disinfection of plant water,foam control,and odor control.These topics
are discussed in other sections.
The chlorination and dechlorination systems are automated. Chlorine residual is monitored at
select points along the treatment train.The systems are considered essential facilities for
emergency use and must be maintained to allow for operation at any time.

3.6.1.1.1 Bleach Feed Points

OCSD no longer discharges primary effluent to the ocean except under emergency
circumstances,this feed point will not be routinely used but should be maintained for
emergency use. Additionally, since OCSD no longer disinfects secondary effluent that goes to
the ocean,secondary effluent will not be routinely discharged at Feed Points 2-5.

3.6.1.2.1 Bleach Station
The Plant No. 1 Bleach Station is located along the east perimeter road,at the southeast corner
of Activated Sludge (AS)Plant No. 1 by the Plant Water and Return Activated Sludge (RAS)
Bleach Station. It has three storage tanks and four chemical feed pumps and a containment wall
that separates the tank and pump containment areas. Control panels and electrical equipment
are located outside the pump containment area.The containment area and the panels are
covered with a sunshade.
Modifications to the Plant No. 1 Bleach Station were recently constructed under Project No.Pl-

Storage Tanks
The Bleach Station includes three 18,600-gallon fiberglass reinforced plastic(FRP)storage tanks,
which are insulated to protect the bleach from temperature and UV degradation.Temperature
gauges are located on each tank near its base.All surfaces are coated with a glass/resin
composition that protects the tanks from UV degradation.
Each tank has a 3-inch fill pipe with a 2-inch connection and an ultrasonic level sensor and tank
level indicator at the filling connection.If overfilled, the 4-inch overflow transfer pipe conveys
excess flow to the adjacent storage tank.As an additional precaution,a flinch overflow pipe
located just above the overflow transfer pipe will drain excess bleach to the containment area
floor,which drains to a chemical sump.

An FRP caged ladder and handrails on the top perimeter provides access to the top of the tank.
A 36-inch diameter hinged manway and a 4-inch goose-neck vent are located on top of each
tank. Each tank has a 4-inch pump suction nozzle,a 4-inch tank drain,and various spare
nozzles.The suction piping valves have powered operators for local or remote operation.
Tank Level Sensors
Each tank has a Milltronics HydroRanger ultrasonic type level sensor and level transmitter.A
level indicator is located at each fill connection for fill monitoring.
Feed Pumps
The effluent disinfection system includes four Watson-Marlow Model SPX-40 peristaltic hose
bleach feed pumps that can each operate between 2 and 120 rpm(1 to 42 gpm).Pumps are
driven by 3-hp VFDs with turndown gearing.The pumps can operate intermittently above
75 rpm,with 40 rpm recommended for continuous operation.All pumps can draw from any
chemical storage tank and can feed multiple points.
The pump control panels are located along the pump containment wall near each pump.Two
panels (Panel 14 and 14A) are provided for reliability and operational flexibility.Power Panel 14
controls the pumps dedicated to effluent disinfection and GWRS,while lighting panel 14A
controls the pumps for chemical scrubbers.
Chemical Flowmeter
One Sparling TIGERMAG magnetic Fowmeter(17GFE151)measures the feed rate to all bleach
feed points.Under normal operation,bleach is fed to only one feed point at a time.
Chlorine Residual Analyzers
The Bleach Station operates in conjunction with two chlorine residual analyzers (17GAIT162
and 27GAIT177)located at the Effluent Junction Box (EJB)along the Santa Ana River just south
of the plant and at the 120-inch pipeline discharge point at the Ocean Outfall Booster Station
(GOBS) located at Plant No.2.
Each chlorine analyzer system includes a chlorine residual analyzer,sample pump,and
automatic cleaning system.The chlorine residual analyzers are Wallace and Tiernan model
Micro-2000.
Chemical Piping
Suction and discharge piping is chlorinated poly vinyl chloride (CPVC).In general,the
discharge pipelines within the plant tunnels are located away from the main traffic corridor and
along the walls of the tunnels to avoid chemical exposure to workers. Additional pipe shielding
is provided where the pipelines have increased exposure.
Discharge piping within the tunnels has air release valves at all high points to remove air
pocket flow constrictions.
3.6.2 Operational Philosophy
3.6.2.1 General Description
Since OCSD no longer conducts effluent disinfection except under emergency conditions,its
NPDES Permit(CA0110604) is being revised to reflect this new operational requirement. This

J.O PIPNCTA.1
section describes the operational philosophy for effluent disinfection under emergency
conditions,or as otherwise required to meet specific plant operational needs.
If emergency conditions arise and the existing short outfall is used,all wastewater sent to the
ocean will be disinfected prior to disposal.Total coliform,fecal coliform, and enterococci
bacteria will be monitored,based on 30-day geometric mean value,for compliance with the AB
411 standards for beach sanitation. The maximum values for compliance are as follows:
• Total Coliform Bacteria<MPN 1,000/100 mL after initial dilution(180:1).
• Fecal Coliform<200 MPN/100 mL after initial dilution(180:1).
• Enterococcus<35 MPN/100 mL after initial dilution(180:1).
Sodium hypochlorite is added to the wastewater to destroy fecal coliform and other disease-
carrying microorganisms,and then sodium bisulfate is added to dechlor]nate the wastewater and
eliminate the impact of sodium hypochlorite in the ocean. The acceptable chlorine residuals for
ocean discharge are listed in Table 3-43.

Aquatic Life.
Note:OCSD stopped disinfection of secondary effluent during normal operations in March 2015. Currently effluent
disinfection only occurs during emergency conditions. (Pending NPDES permit 2017)
While the NPDES standards apply to the bacteria]levels in the ocean,the operational
philosophy is to maintain the level in the plant corresponding to the target level in the ocean.
This correlation was developed through an extensive testing effort.
3.6.2.2 Bleach Facilities
The effectiveness of a disinfection system using bleach depends on the quality characteristics of
the liquid being treated,the dosage,mixing,and the contact time.For the disinfection system at
Plant No. 1,bleach can be fed to primary effluent and the secondary effluent streams.Higher
dosing rates are required for the lower quality wastewater.
Also affecting which dosage and contact time to use is the mixing level. Generally,the higher
the level of mixing,the less contact time is needed. The feed points for the disinfection systems
at Plant No.1 have adequate mixing due to downstream weirs,junction boxes,and other
features which create turbulence.
The bleach facilities typically feed 12.5 percent sodium hypochlorite.The bleach pumps can be
operated in one of three modes: constant speed,constant feed rate,or constant dosage in the
wastewater.The normal operation is to provide a constant dosage in the wastewater.This
mode,called"cascade' or"flow paced," matches the desired dosage to the wastewater flow
rate.
3-79 IXSDFTR NII]-PY WL�n
IOPI M..1
Multiple feed points are provided for operational flexibility.However,under normal operation,
only one feed point is active at a time.The feed system cannot control the amount of chemical
fed at multiple feed points.The residual analyzer sensors alarm at low(1 mg/L)and high(5
mg/L)chlorine levels and do not affect dosage trimming or pump control.
The suction valves on the chemical tanks may be operated locally or remotely.Normally,only
one tank will be open at any one time.The levels in the tanks will generate alarms at various
level settings.
3.6.2.3 Sodium Bisulfite Facilities
The sodium bisulffte facilities provide for dechlorination of disinfected effluent before discharge
through OCSD's ocean outfall system.The operational goal of the dechlorination system is to
remove the chlorine residual resulting from the disinfection process.The Plant No.2 Sodium
Bisulfite Station provides the storage and feed facilities to dechlorinate disinfected effluent from
both Plant No.1 and Plant No. 2.
Sodium bisulfite is commonly used in the wastewater industry to reduce or remove the chlorine
residual resulting from the chlorination process.The reaction between the sodium bisulfite and
chlorine is instantaneous;however,contact must occur for the reaction to take place. As such,
good mixing is essential for dechlormation to occur.
Dechlorination of Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 chlorinated effluent is accomplished at the Plant
No. 2 OOBS and Effluent Pump Station Annex(EPSA).Sodium bisulfite is fed into the OOBS
wet well and EPSA primary wet well,where effluent from Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2
comingles.The OOBS and EPSA pumps,which pump treated effluent to the ocean outfall,
provide the necessary mixing.
The Sodium Bisulfite Facility typically feeds 25 percent sodium bisulfite.
3.6.3 Current Performance
As described in the overview,OCSD no longer conducts effluent disinfection except under
emergency conditions.
3.6.3.1 Projected Chemical Use
Effluent disinfection ceased in March 2015 and will be required only under emergency
conditions. As such,the projected chemical use for Plant No.1 effluent disinfection operations
is zero.However,FY 09/10 sodium hypochlorite usage at Plant No. 1 for effluent disinfection
operations averaged approximately 56,600 gallons per month according to TPOD data collected
by OCSD.Thus,OCSD operations staff should maintain a sufficient quantity of chemical on site
for routine plant water disinfection operations and for emergency effluent disinfection.
The following assumptions were also considered in these projections:
• No disinfection of GWRS brine discharges will be needed.
• No disinfection will be needed for secondary effluent sent to GWRS or the outfall.
• No disinfection will be needed for primary effluent.

3.7 Odor Control
3.7.1 Overview
Odor control in the plants consists primarily of chemical additions at off-site locations in the
collections system to prevent odorants from forming in the incoming sewer pipes. Odor control
also consists of covering odor-causing plant processes,providing appropriate negative
pressures, and conveying the foul to various air scrubbing facilities. Both plants can add
hydrogen peroxide to the influent for odor control as well.
3.7.2 Treatment Plant Odor Control Facilities
Treatment Plant Odor control facilities are summarized in Tables 345. Also see Exhibit 3.20.

3.7.3 Plants Odor Complaint Response
In spite of OCSD odor control efforts,OCSD still receives complaints from the public in
neighborhoods surrounding the plants.Staff investigates each complaint and the possible
source of the odor. In PY 16-17,11 odor complaints were submitted for locations around Plant
No. 1.
OCSD has always strived to be a good neighbor to the surrounding communities.As a result,it
developed a 5-year Strategic Plan in 2015 that calls for zero odor incidents and events under
normal operating conditions at both Plant No.1 and Plant No.2.OCSD initiated Project No.SP-
166, the OCMP,to analyze odor data from the plants,determine which odorants actually cause
odor complaints, assess the level of nuisance for those odorants,nm air dispersion models to
determine the extent of odorous impacts,and analyze foul air scrubbing technologies and
appropriate combinations of technologies to mitigate odor impacts in the vicinity of Plant No.1
and No.2.
The OCMP was completed in two phases:Phase I focused on determining the odorants present
and their level of nuisance at all key source locations,and Phase 11 focused on air dispersion
modeling,technology evaluation,and mitigation measures.
The OCMP successfully addressed nuisance odors at both Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 from a
unique and more comprehensive perspective than traditional efforts that historically focused on
I-I2S or D/T alone.As a result,nine of the"most detectable' odorants were identified
throughout the plant facilities.Although not all nine odorants are present at all locations,they
exist at different proportions, giving the various odors characteristic to each plant process area.
See Table 3 46.

OCSD completed au dispersion modeling of identified odorants as part of the OCMP,which
determined the target odorants and their removal goals at various odorous plant process areas
at both plants.The odor modeling results have also identified processes in open air that may
require enclosures to meet the level of service goal set by the Board.These serve as a tool to
340 OSDF NII]-PlaaW Ld .
3.0PIMrM..I
better understand the generation of odors from various processes and to reduce odors through
process optimization and capital improvement design projects.
The OCMP has shown that the efficiency of the original chemical scrubbers,even when
operated at different modes,does not reduce odor impacts enough to meet OCSD's good
neighbor.The original chemical scrubbers target mainly hydrogen sulfide,and a number of
other odorants cause odors that need to be abated from the foul air,as shown in Table 3-47.
The OCMP evaluated odor treatment technologies based on the following three mitigation
levels:
a) Mitigation Level 1 -Existing System.
b) Mitigation Level 2-Best single stage technology.
c) Mitigation Level 3-Best multistage technology.
All mitigation alternatives were selected to meet required off-site nuisance limits and to meet
plant space limitations.Table 3-47 shows the location dilution factors, target odorants and their
removal target,and the recommended odor treatment technologies for the three mitigation
levels for each odorous process area.
Note that since the odor sampling and the subsequent air dispersion modeling(based on the
sampling results) were conducted,new odor control systems have been installed or are being
designed/installed at both plants.Although the OCMP recommended technologies that will
remove the identified odorants,additional sampling and air dispersion modeling will be
needed while future odor control facilities me being designed.

3.8.1.1.2 Potable Water
Potable water is purchased from the local water supplier. The City of Fountain Valley is the
supplier for Plant No. 1.Water supply most pass through an air gap.This requirement provides
backflow prevention that protects the supplier's system from potential contamination before
pumps re-pressurize it for plant distribution.The location of the air gap for the Plant No.1
Domestic Water System is shown on Exhibit 3-14.
3.8.1.1.3 Industrial Water
The term"industrial water'refers to water from the potable water system used in applications
subject to potential contamination. This water passes through a backflow-prevention device to
prevent it from contaminating the plant potable water system.
3.8.1.1.4 Reclaimed Water
Reclaimed water is water that has been reclaimed from wastewater through the tertiary
treatment process in accordance with the DHS Title 22 standards for recycled water.These
standards are incorporated in CCR Title 22,Chapter 3-Division 4.Reclaimed water is supplied
by OCWD at a connection to Plant No.1. The Plant No. 1 Reclaimed Water System is shown on
Exhibit 3-15.
3.8.1.1.5 Plant Water
Plant Water is water supply from the secondary effluent,which is disinfected and filtered
through on-site coarse filters (strainers). It is the least expensive water and is used where higher
quality water is not required.The Plant No. 1 Plant Water System is shown on Exhibit 13-16.

3.8.1.3 Potable (and Industrial)Water System
The City of Fountain Valley's 10-inch water main,located along Ellis Avenue at the northeast
comer of Plant No.1,is the potable water source.The 10-inch water main discharges potable
water to separate tanks in the City Water Pump Station that serve the potable and industrial
water systems. Modulating control valves, set to maintain a constant level in the tanks,control
the flow of water into the tanks.
Several major design modifications were made to the plant's potable water distribution systems
over the years.Potable water from the City (City Water)was brought into the plant in the early
1960s.In 1990,the City Water Pump Station was constructed,providing a separate source of
potable water through an air-gap connection to the plant process areas. Two separate
distribution systems were routed from the pump station,one for potable use (City
Water/POTW) and the other for industrial use.The administration area remained on a separate
system supplied directly from City meters.
In 1995,the City Water Pump Station was modified.The City Water and industrial water
distribution system were merged into a single system,with the City Water system serving as
the distribution system and industrial uses fed from that system through backflow-prevention
devices. Later, the meters that directly connected the administration area to the City potable
system were removed,and the administration areas were fed from the City Water Pump
Station.The major components of the City Water Pump Station are listed in Table 3-49.

3.8.1.4 Reclaimed Water System
OCWD supplies reclaimed water at a connection to Plant No. 1.A reclaimed water pipeline
running along the Santa Ana River brings the reclaimed water supply from Plant No. 1 to Plant
No.2.No major facilities are within the plant for this system.
3.8.1.5 Plant Water System
Water for the Plant Water System consists of secondary effluent from the treatment process.
Equipment in the Plant Water Pump Station strains and disinfects the water and provides the
system pressure.Building"M" (which will be demolished after P1-101)previously had three
booster pumps and recently added two to increase the pressure and flow to the belt filter
presses.The basement for Digesters 11 through 14 has pumping to increase the pressure for
digester cleaning.
The J-109 project added five automatic backwashing strainers to the Plant Water Distribution
System downstream of the Plant Water Pumps. The major components for the Plant Water
System Pump Station are listed in Table 3-50.

3.9 Cengen Facilities
3.9.1 Overview
The Central Generation System(Cengen) is one of three power supply sources providing
electricity for process equipment and other uses throughout the plant.Plant No. 1 has dedicated
engine generators that operate on digester gas/natural gas. Cengen engines and capacities at
Plant No. 1 are listed in Table 3-52.
The Cengen engines at Plant No.1 have emission controls to meet the latest SCAQMD air
quality requirements.This allows them to produce power using natural gas,high-pressure
digester gas,or a combination of both.

Digester gas produced in the Plant No. 1 digesters is compressed,dried,and used as fuel in
engine generators at the Cengen facility to produce electric power. Digester gas is compressed
and dried by running chilled water from the absorption chillers through a digester gas-to-
chilled water heat exchanger.A refrigerant dryer is available for backup.
Excess high-pressure gas can be transported between Plant No. 1 and No.2 using an interplant
high-pressure digester gas line. The interplant gas line also helps manage gas production spikes
and keeps flaring to a minimum.Surplus digester gas is disposed of through waste gas flares
located on the high-pressure side of the digester gas system.A low-pressure gas holder is used
to store digester gas at low pressures.Excess low-pressure gas is vented at the digester,which
would most likely occur during a failure or shutdown of the gas compressors.

The primary function of the engine generators is to produce electricity;however,to maximize
the returns from the engines,heat recovery systems are installed on the engine exhaust and
engine jacket water system and are used for digester heating and building heating.Figure 3-2
illustrates the different heat recovery loops associated with Cengen at Plant No.1.
Heat recovered from exhausting the engine-generators produces steam at pressures as high as
125 pounds per square inch gauge (psig).At Plant No. 1, the steam is used to generate hot water
using steam converters for digester heating and on absorption chillers to generate chilled water
for building cooling and for drying the digester gas.
A steam boiler,fueled by digester gas and/or natural gas,produces supplemental heat during
the winter months. Because of air quality issues,the boiler's use is limited to the winter months.
In addition to the above uses,part of the steam is used for maintenance activities such as
cleaning grease from sludge piping.

The Interplant Gas Pipeline,which connects Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2,was rehabilitated
under the J-106 project and allows Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 to share gas and provide
operational flexibility for managing the use of digester gas to fuel the Cengen facilities at both
plants. The Interplant Gas Pipeline also provides a buffer to cushion spikes in gas production
that would result in flaring.

3.9.2 Operational Philosophy
OCSD's approach to managing its power supply is shaped by the following goals:
• Minimizing costs.
• Providing reliable power to meet process requirements.
• Maintaining compliance with air quality regulations.
• Salient features are summarized below.
3.9.2.1 Economics
Costs to produce power and heat from the Cengen facility include the cost of new capital,
rehabilitation,operation,maintenance,fuel purchase costs for natural gas,cleaning costs for
digester gas,and emissions controls.The cost of power imported from SCE is based on the time-
of-use (TOU) tariff with SCE,under which the rate vanes according to the season,day of week,
and time of day.
In general,power from digester gas produced in the Cengen facility is the least expensive
power available to OCSD.However,the digester gas supply is limited,and additional power
must be either imported from SCE or generated from imported natural gas.Due to the high cost
of natural gas,producing power with natural gas is only cost-effective in the highest SCE rate
periods(summer peak),which account for six percent of the hours in a year.
The new process equipment constructed between 2007 and 2012 has greatly increased the
power demand.The cost to provide power has also increased accordingly.
3.9.2.2 Reliability
The 2007 OCSD Energy Master Plan(Energy Master Plan)evaluated the plant process
equipment's criticality.Equipment was identified based on the process impact of that
equipment being out of service and the duration of outage required to cause the impact. Risks
were evaluated according to the probability of power outages occurring at various flow
scenarios,including the peak dry weather flow (PDW17 and the peak wet weather flow
(PW WF).
Plant No. 1 has a dual 66-kV feed to increase the reliability of the Plant No. 1 power supply. The
Cengen facility increases reliability by providing a redundant power supply to the SCE feeds.
Cengen is continuously staffed locally or remotely. Cengen provides fuel redundancy through
the digester gas produced on site and natural gas importation.
Diesel standby generators can be operated only during power outages,except for limited hours
for maintenance and testing.These generators increase reliability by providing a redundant
power source that operates independently of the SCE and Cengen systems and has its own
independent fuel supply (diesel).

3.9.2.3 Emissions
Plant No. land No.2 are within the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management
District(SCAQMD).SCAQMD has established regulations aimed at reducing and controlling
air emissions from combustion sources,such as the Cengen engines.In February 2008,
SCAQMD amended Rule 1110.2,lowering the emission limits for nitrogen oxides (NOx),
volatile organic compounds (VOCs),and carbon monoxide (CO)from internal combustion
engines.
Through Rules 1401 and 1402,the SCAQMD also established acceptable health risk levels for
new individually permitted equipment(1401) and plantwide facilities (1402).These rules
specify limits for maximum individual cancer risk and non-cancer health hazards from toxic air
emissions.
In 2016,OCSD completed Project J-111,which equipped the Cengen engines at both plants with
emission control systems(catalytic oxidizer/selective catalytic reduction system with digester
gas cleaning systems) to comply with the SCAQMD rules.

3.9.5 Planned Upgrades
3.9.5.1 Project P 1-127—Central Generation Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1
Project P1-127 will rehabilitate major support systems of the Plant No.1 Cengen.Support
systems to be rehabilitated include the tube oil system,engine jacket water loop,steam loop,hot
water loop,waste/supplement heat system,chilled water loop,cooling water loop,HVAC
system,starting and instrumentation air systems,and exhaust gas monitoring system.
3.9.5.2 Project X-077—Switchgear Replacement at Plant No. 1 Central Generation
Project X-077 will replace the existing Switchgear at Plant No. 1 Cengen and the PB-512kV
Switchgear and 12kV Service Center Switchgear.The G-Bus and A&B Bus will be split into
separate rooms,which will most likely lead to expanding the Cengen Building.
3.10 Power Supply and Heating
3.10.1 Overview
Electricity needed to power treatment processes and other equipment is purchased from SCE
and generated from the Cengen engines.During a power outage, standby generators provide
power to water-in/water-out processes. The Cengen engines produce electricity and heat from
burning digester gas and/or natural gas. Boilers produce supplemental heat and steam as
needed. Heat from the Cengen engines and boilers is captured as hot water and steam and is
used for the following purposes:
• Hot water is used for digester heating and building heating.
• Steam is used to create chilled water for building cooling and digester gas drying.
• Steam is used for maintenance activities such as cleaning grease from sludge piping.
3.10.1.1 SCE Imported Electricity
The electric service to Plant No. 1 is fed from dual SCE 66-kV feeders through a 66-kV to 12.47-
kV OCSD-owned and SCE-maintained substation.The substation feeds 12.47-kV switchgeaq
which feeds the Cengen switchgear,power buildings, and facility electrical rooms.
3.10.1.2 Central Generation Facilities
Refer to section 3.9.
3.10.1.3 Digester Gras System
Refer to Sections 3.4 and 3.9.
3.10.1.4 Heating and Cooling
The Plant No. 1 heat recovery system is shown on Exhibit 3-19. Heat recovered from the jacket
cooling water of the engine generators is used for digester heating and building heating. Heat
recovered from the exhaust of the engine generators produces steam at pressures as high as 125
pounds per square inch gauge (psig).The steam is also used in absorption chillers to supply
chilled water for building cooling and for drying the digester gas.A steam boiler,fueled by
digester gas and/or natural gas,is used to produce supplemental heat during the winter
months.Because of air quality issues,the use of the boiler is limited to the winter months.

3.10.2 Operational Philosophy
OCSD's approach to managing its power supply is shaped by the following goals:
• Minimizing costs.
• Providing reliable power to meet process requirements.
• Maintaining compliance with air quality restrictions.
These goals are summarized below and are discussed in detail in the 2007 OCSD Energy Master
Plan.
3.10.2.1 Economics
The new process equipment being constructed at the centrifuge facility to thicken and dry solids
at Plant No.1 will greatly increase the power demand,which will increase the cost to provide
power. The cost to truck solids,however,will decrease,since the dewatered sludge will be
drier.
3.10.2.2 Reliability
The 2007 OCSD Energy Master Plan(Energy Master Plan)evaluated the criticality of the plant
process equipment.Equipment was identified according to the process impact of that
equipment being out of service and the duration of outage required to cause the impact. Risks
were evaluated according to the probability of power outages occurring at various flow
scenarios,including the peak daily flow(PDF) and the peak wet weather flow(PW WF).
The Plant No. 1 and No.2 SCE power supplies have been very reliable because the 66-kV power
supplies connect to the SCE grid at a higher voltage.SCE typically has a very high reliability
rate,as evidenced by the area SAIDI and SAIFI rankings.
The Cengen facilities at both plants increase reliability by providing a redundant power supply
to the SCE feeds.Cengen facilities me also continuously staffed.
Historically, Cengen facilities have been subject to disruptions associated with disruptions in
the SCE feeds.The Energy Master Plan included stability tests on the Cengen facilities and
made recommendations to increase the stability of the facilities. Cengen provides
fuel redundancy through the digester gas produced on site and from natural gas importation.
Diesel standby generators can be operated only during power outages,except for limited hours
for maintenance and testing.These generators increase reliability by providing a redundant
power source that operates independent of the SCE and Cengen systems. The standby
generators are fueled by a redundant fuel supply (diesel).
3.10.2.3 Emissions
Plant No. 1 and No.2 are within the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management
District(SCAQMD).SCAQMD has established regulations to reduce and control air emissions
from combustion sources, such as the Cengen engines.In February 2008,SCAQMD amended
Rule 1110.2,lowering the emission limits for nitrogen oxides(NOx),volatile organic
compounds (VOCs),and carbon monoxide(CO)from internal combustion engines.

3.11 Electrical Distribution System
3.11.1 Overview
The electrical power system for both plants includes imported and internally generated power
supplies,uninten uptible power supplies,distribution equipment,and standby generators.
Power supply and standby power systems are detailed in other sections of this chapter (Sections
3.10 and 3.12,respectively).This section describes the distribution systems.
Plant No. 1 is fed by SCE from a dual 66-kV service.The Plant No. 1 Cengen facility provides
12-kV power through three 2.5 megawatt(MW) engine generator units.Power distribution
equipment located throughout the plant transforms the 12-kV power to the required equipment
utilization voltages. Most of the plant process loads operate at 480-V or less,except for the
aeration blowers at AS-1 and AS-2,which operate at 4.16 W.
Cengen provides power through a 12-kV electrical distribution system to other power buildings
containing power distribution equipment,which are located throughout the plant.This
equipment transforms the 12-kV power to the required equipment utilization voltages. For
increased reliability,the power buildings typically have double-ended switchgear lineups with
tie circuit breakers.
Non-process areas have dedicated utility services to electrically isolate these areas from the rest of
the plant. The operations control center,laboratory,and administration building each has its own
service connection to SCE. The operations control center also has standby power from PB-4 via an
automatic transfer switch.The laboratory has an emergency feeder from PB-4.
3.11.1.1 Electric Service Center(ESC)
The 12-kV switchgear,located at the Electric Service Center(ESC),is the point of connection to
SCE power. In addition to providing power to Cengen,Blower Building 2,and Power Building
9,the 12-kV switchgear provides power to the Engineering Trailers,low-voltage power systems
at the station, and miscellaneous process equipment,such as motorized butterfly valves for the
EJB.
3.11.1.2 Central Generation Station(Cengen)
Cengen houses the 12-kV switchgear,which provides the base for the Plant No.1,12-kV
distribution system.The double-end,12-kV switchgear provides dual 12-kV feeders to other
Plant No. 1 power distribution facilities.The 12-kV switchgear also provides power to low-
voltage MCCs,which support the cogeneration systems at Cengen.
3.11.1.3 Blower Building
The Blower Building houses 4.16-kV and 480-V switchgear and MCCs.The medium-voltage
switchgear supports aeration blowers. The low-voltage switchgear supports the PEPS pumps,
as well as low-voltage MCCs associated with NGV gas compressors,aeration basin lighting,
and Blower Building support systems.
The Blower Building houses two standby turbine-generator units and associated distribution
switchgear.Standby power is distributed to Blower Building support systems,AS-2 life safety
loads,and PB-6 loads associated with the thickener building and plant water pumps.

Projects P1-105 or P1-126 will demolish PB-I.
3.11.1.7 Power Building No. 2(PB-2)
PB-2 houses low-voltage switchgear that feeds MCCs at the truck loading facility.The generator
at Power Building 2 provides standby power to life safety loads at the truck loading facility and
centrifuge building as well as to the plant water pumps at Power Building 6.
3.11.1.8 Power Building No. 3A(PB-3A)
PB-3A houses medium-and low-voltage switchgear and MCCs.The low-voltage switchgear
powers the 450-hp influent pumps.The MCCs support loads associated with Headworks No. 1,
Influent Pump Station,grit chamber facilities, scrubber facilities,metering structure facility,and
waste-hauler facility.PB-3A houses two standby engine-generator units and associated
distribution switchgear.Project P1-105 will demolish PB-3A.

units.The plant water pumps are connected to the standby generator at Power Building 2.
3.11.1.12 Power Building No. 7 (PB-7)
PB-7 houses 12-kV load interruptible switches,liquid filled substation type transformers,480-
volt switchgears,MCCs,Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)and a 1500kW,480V,standby
diesel engine generator to support the primary clarifiers and the primary chemical facility.
3.11.1.13 Power Building No. 8 (PB-8)
PB-8 houses 12kV load interruptible switches,liquid filled substation type transformers,480-
volt switchgears,MCCs,UPS,and a 1500-kW,480-V,standby diesel engine generator to support
the Trickling Filter Facility. A shared 12,000-gallon underground fuel storage tank supports
both PB-7 and PB-8.
3.11.1.14 Power Building No. 9(PB-9)
PB-9 houses 12kV load interruptible switches,liquid-filled substation-type transformers,480-
volt switchgears,MCCs,and UPS that support loads associated with the secondary clarifiers fed
from AS-2.PB-9 is fed directly from the Electrical Service Center and not from the Cengen.
3.11.2 Operational Philosophy
The operational philosophies of the plant electrical systems are to maintain a safe reliable power
to process equipment,minimize process disruptions,and provide worker and equipment
safety.
System redundancy is provided to avoid single-points of failure and to minimize equipment
outages required for maintenance activities.Protective devices are coordinated to isolate faults
at the lowest level possible,reducing the amount of affected process equipment,which
minimizes the impacts of process failures.Protective device settings are set to have a low fault
current to improve worker safety.

• The following electrical distribution modifications will be included in Project X-048,
Activated Sludge 1 Aeration Basin and Blower Rehabilitation:
o Demolish the existing turbine power system in the existing AS-1 Blower
Building.
o Provide a standby power feed from the standby power facility being built by
Project P1-105 to the AS-1 Blower Building and distribute it to the centrifuge
building and the Plant Water Pumps Station Building.
o Provide a normal power feed from the Centrifuge Building to the Truck Loading
Facility.
o Demolish Power Building 2.
3.12 Standby Diesel Generators
3.12.1 Overview
The primary electrical power supply to the treatment plants consists of imported power from
SCE and power from each planes Central Generation(Cengen)facility.
Diesel generators are located at various process areas in each plant to provide power during an
outage of the primary systems.Multiple units connect to one another,in some cases to provide
the required capacity at that process area.The units are not interconnected with other power
supplies or generators in other process areas.
The 2007 OCSD Energy Master Plan,Technical Memorandum(TM)10 (OCSD,2007),evaluated
the standby power systems. This evaluation considered the possible consequences of power
outages,the outage durations required to cause impact,the likely power outage durations, and
the probability of outages to occurring during various flow conditions.
The generator at Power Building 2 was previously out of service.The P1401 project installed a
new above-ground storage tank to supply diesel future to the generator at PB-2,making
standby power available to PB6,the centrifuge building,and the truck loading facility.The
truck loading piston pumps have a software permissive disabled when the generator at PB 2 is
operating so truck loading cannot occur from generator power.
The Blower Building generators have a control problem in which the two generators do not
synch. As a result,the capacity from the switchgear is limited to the output of one unit,800 kW.

3.12.2 Operational Philosophy
Diesel-fueled standby generators provide power during outages of the primary power systems
to reduce the risk of process failures. This risk reduction must be balanced against the cost to
install and maintain diesel generators and the air emissions impacts of those generators.
The OCSD Criticality Table is used to determine which processes require standby power. Each
equipment unit is tied to a process requirement affected by that equipment being out of service,
along with the outage duration required to cause the impact.
The load on each power building is estimated for various flow conditions. The probability of
outages occurring during these flow conditions was calculated to evaluate the potential risk of
an outage.This model allows for identifying areas of greater risk,areas where power
improvements should be considered,an areas where some generators could be eliminated.
Due to SCAQMD limitations,use of diesel generators is restricted to power outages for water-
in/water-out process and life safety equipment,with limited hours for testing and maintenance.
3.12.1.1 Utility Power Outage Operations
Diesel generators are located at power buildings within the various process areas.They do not
operate in parallel with the primary power system or with diesel generators from other power
buildings. If a power building has multiple diesel generators,the generators run in parallel with
one another,but are isolated from the plant grid and diesel generators from other power
buildings.
When power is lost in the primary power system,the local power building isolates itself from
the primary system before transferring to the diesel engine standby generators.This occurs
automatically at some power buildings and manually at others.
Diesel generators are an important standby power source and provide the following operational
benefits:
• During power outages,they provide needed supplement to Cengen power. Cengen power
alone is not enough to run all process loads at both plants.
• They generally start immediately after a power disruption to run the most critical loads.
Engines are kept in a"ready` state by engine block heaters.
• They respond to rapid load changes much better than Cengen engines and are therefore
more stable.
• They are located remotely at process areas,providing some protection from problems in the
distribution system,such as a fire in the Cengen power building or damage to conduits
running from Cengen to the power buildings.
• Diesel generator fuel is stored in adjacent tanks and underground tanks at the power
buildings,with sufficient supply to last several days at full load. By contrast,Cengen
engines rely on either digester gas or natural gas.Digester gas is limited in supply and
depends on pipelines and mechanical equipment,whereas natural gas depends on the gas
supply grid.Without adequate digester gas supply to run all available engines,natural gas
is needed to achieve the Cengen's full capacity.The plant diesel fuel system could also be
less vulnerable to the effects of a major earthquake.

3.12.1.1 Air Emissions Permitting Requirements
SCAQMD regulates the use of the emergency standby diesel engines under SCAQMD
Rules 1402 and 1470.
4.12.1.2.1 Rule 1402
Rule 1402 applies to existing sources and to total facility emissions.It requires facilities to
implement risk reduction measures as required by the Hot Spots Act and specifies public
notification and inventory requirements. Rule 1402 establishes three health-effect impact criteria
levels (notification level, action level,and significant risk level) to determine the impact of the
facility-wide risk.
The impact of diesel generators was not considered in calculations that identify the level of
impact.If included in future calculations,they may affect the Operational Philosophy.
4.12.1.2.2 Rule 1470
Rule 1470 was adopted in April 2004 by the SCAQMD to address a proposed Air Toxic Control
Measure(ATCM)engine regulation set forth by the CARB. Rule 1470 applies to stationary
compression ignition engines with a rated brake horsepower (bhp) greater than 50(>50 bhp).
Rule 1470 includes requirements for fuel and fuel additives, operating requirements,and diesel
particulate matter(PM) emission standards for existing and new stationary compression
ignition engines.
The emergency diesel engines at both Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are rated greater than 50 bhp,
for both the existing and future emergency diesel engines.Therefore,Rule 1470 is an applicable
regulation for the emergency diesel engines at Plant No.1 and Plant No. 2.
In response,limited hours of operation were accepted rather than installing expensive
emissions controls.If additional hours of operation are needed in the future,the possibility of
installing the emissions controls could be considered.

standby power system consisting of parallel 12-kV diesel generators will be provided to support
Project P1-105 and other facilities outside the project boundary area.
3.13 Uninterruptable Power Systems
3.13.1 Overview
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems in the treatment plants provide temporary power
to instrumentation and controls when utility power is unavailable.The batteries typically have
10 to 20 minutes of storage capacity. For longer outages,the UPS units must be supported
through backup generation.
Basic components of a UPS installation include the UPS module with associated batteries and
transfer and bypass switches for maintenance and process reliability.
All critical monitoring and control equipment should be fed from UPS power to avoid
equipment failure during a power outage.UPS systems also filter sensitive electronics from
potentially harmful power anomalies.
OCSD has a complex plant control system with distributed programmable logic controllers
(PLCs),input/output racks,and instrumentation.A number of miniature (less than 5 kW) and
medium(5 kW to 30 kW)UPS units currently serve those devices. The miniature UPS units are
located in the bottom of racks and panels,where they are difficult to maintain and can fail
without warning.Through the years,UPS units of varying sizes and specifications have been
installed.
The OCSD UPS Study recommended replacing all of existing UPSs with three regional UPSs
placed strategically throughout the plant.These UPSs would feed Power Distribution Units
(PDUs)in many buildings to provide UPS power locally.

3.0PIPNTM..I
Project P1-101 is installing the first regional UPS to support the southern portion of the plant.
Project P1-105 will install the second regional UPS to support the northeastern end of the plant,
and Project P1-132 will install the third regional UPS at Power Building 8 to support the
northwestern portion.
3.13.2 Operational Philosophy
The general operational philosophy of the UPS system involves the UPS units providing
continuous backup power to the plant control system in case of a normal power outage until
standby generators start and repower the loads.If the standby generators fail to start,the UPS
will provide ample time for an orderly shutdown when necessary.
UPS units filter power to sensitive instrumentation.
3.13.3 Current Performance
Not applicable
3.13.4 Design Criteria
Future regional UPS installations should meet the following guidelines.
• Use larger,higher voltage UPS units to reduce voltage drop from the UPS to the critical
load.
• UPS units perform best in clean,dry,tempered space as specified by manufacturers.
A climate-controlled enclosure is required to satisfy this guideline and to maintain a
recommended ambient temperature of approximately 77T. Providing a
climate-controlled enclosure for each miniature UPS would be impractical.
• Each UPS shall have alarms to a manned location.
• Each UPS shall be powered from a voltage source with stand-by generators.
• Locally available parts shall be specified and serviced with a 4-hour response time.
• Initial design load shall be no more than 70 percent of the UPS rating.
3.13.5 Planned Upgrades
Project P1-101 is installing the first regional UPS to support the southern portion of the plant.
Project P1-105 will install the second regional UPS to support the northeastern end of the plant,
and Project P1-132 will install the third regional UPS at Power Building 8 to support the
northwestern portion.

office computer system.
VOIP(voice over internet protocol) phones we standard throughout the plant.Hardwired,
landline phones are used only when required for code reasons or when VOIP phones are not

3.O PIPNCTA.1
3.14.1.2 Ivbbile Communications
Two-way radios are the primary communication between O&M personnel in the field. Channel
1 depends on the Plant No.1 base repeater and has the largest range. Channel 2 does not
depend on the base repeater,but has a very limited range. Channel 3 is a'local talk'channel.
3.14.1.3 Safety and Security
The public address(PA) system allows broadcasts from the office phone system to speakers in
the field. This could be used in emergency situations to communicate to field personnel.The
main control unit is located in the control center.Project FE 7-34 expanded the PA system to
office buildings and trailers without it.Plant coverage,however,is incomplete.
The fire alarm system provides sensing and alarming. It is a stand-alone system and reports to a
console in the control center. The plant has only one of these systems.
The security cameras were previously on a CCTV coaxial system,but are being moved to an
office Ethernet system,which is Internet Protocol (IP)based. IP-based security cameras are
powered over Ethernet-type(POE)and typically connect to an access layer switch into the office
network.
The card reader system controls personnel access to various process areas and buildings.The
Cyberlock system controls personnel access to PLC cabinets in the process areas.
3.14.1.4 Process Data
This system provides SCADA for all process equipment,allowing plant operators to control
process equipment in remote locations and the PLCs in various process areas to obtain data
from other process areas.Process data are collected by the Data Historian and are used to
improve operational decision making and cost control and for compliance reporting.
SCADA data are commonly transmitted between the following points:
• Plant No.1 and Plant No.2.
• Control center and local process areas.
• Control center and remote pump stations.
• Local PLCs and process equipment.
• Between process area PLCs.
SCADA communications between Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are currently provided by two
fiber optic connections.The Ellis/Bushard fiber optic line travels from Plant No. 1 to Plant
No. 2,via SALS to the abandoned Ellis Pump Station,to the Ellis/Bushard Diversion structure
and then follows the Bushard trunk line to Plant 2.A portion of this fiber was installed by the
1-24A project,and another portion was installed by FE07-10,Bushard Trunk Optic Link.
A second redundant fiber optic runs between Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 along the Santa Ana
River interplant pipeline alignment.This Santa Ana River fiber optic connection will be
replaced by a new line to be installed by the J-117A project.

3.14.2 Operational Philosophy
The process SCADA system provides important data communications for plant monitoring,
control,and automation.The system's reliability is critical to maintaining regulatory compliance
for both the collections system and the treatment plants.
Security is a high priority for both the office data system and the process data system;however,
those systems have different security needs.The office data system requires a less restrictive
system to allow information to be exchanged with various consultants,vendors,and the public
for general OCSD business,while a much more restrictive system is appropriate for the process
SCADA system.
3.14.2.1 Plant 1 Fiber Optic Network
Plant No. 1 is blanketed with fiber optic cable.This fiber is typically multimode fiber optic cable
blown through tube cables.The fiber optic cable provides the ability to connect networked
devices across the plant.These devices include network switches,PLCs,Remote IO racks,
HMIs,Servers,card readers,PA equipment,fire alarm equipment and other office IT
equipment.Additionally,interplant fiber optic connections are available between Plant No. 1
and Plant No.2,allowing data to be passed between locations.
3.14.2.2 ICS Network
The Industrial Control System(ICS)network is an Ethernet network dedicated to process
controls. This connects programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the field to SCADA
workstations and process control-related servers and historians.
This network spans all of Plant No.1,using fiber optic cable to connect core, distribution,and
access switches. Physical connection into the network is made through the network's access
layer,which is typically through copper CATS cables or fiber optic jumper cables.Figure 3-3
illustrates the core, distribution,and access layer topology of the ICS network.

Note that the access switches typically connect to two distribution switches,and that,similarly,
the distribution switches connect to two core switches.These redundant pathways ensure that
the failure of one component of the network does not disrupt the functionality of the ICS
network.
3.14.2.3 Power Ivbnitoring and Control System
Project J-33-3 added a power monitoring and control system that monitors and remotely
controls switchgear at Plant No. 1.The primary purposes of the Power Monitoring and Control
System is to remotely monitor and control the switchgear breakers,monitor and control ATS,
and monitor the status and alarms of switchgear and standby generator battery chargers,high-
resistance grounding,standby generators,standby generator fuel tanks,standby generator day
tanks,12.47-kilovolt(kV) to 480-volt(V)transformers,and uninterruptible power supplies
(UPS).Operating breakers remotely allows maintenance staff to quickly react to problems and
maintain a safe operating distance that eliminates the need to suit up with personal protective
equipment(PPE).
Power Monitoring and Control PLCs are installed throughout the plant to provide control and
monitoring functions.These PLCs connect into the ICS and are monitored by operators at
Power Monitoring and Control HMI workstations.

3.14.2.4 SCADA Workstations and MU
OCSD uses CRISP (Copeland Roland Sequential Processor) HMI software for the human
machine interface for process control functions at both Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2.This
software was originally designed to run on VAX workstations,which are now obsolete and
difficult to support.OCSD has recently begun using Hummingbird VAX emulator workstations
so it can continue to mn the aging CRISP software on modem computer hardware. Servers
running Wonderware provide the historian functions for the process control data.
3.14.2.5 Programmable Logic Controllers
Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 use Schneider Automation Modicon Quantum PLCs as a standard
platform for process controls.They are also used at the outlying pump stations in the collection
system.For critical processes,a redundant CPU configuration is used.
Control inputs and outputs connected to the PLCs are provided by Quantum Remote IO Racks.
The remote IO racks may be distributed physically,remotely from the CPU,and connected over
coaxial cable or fiber optic cable. The Quantum platform is currently being phased out by the
manufacturer and is being replaced by new product lines.
3.14.2.6 Outlying Pump Station Communications
Each outlying pump station has a PLC. A communication link is provided from each station
back to Plant No. 1,which allows for remote monitoring and control of the stations.These
communications links are summarized in Figure 3-4 below:

10PIP NQI
A single communication link is provided to each station,meaning there is no redundancy.
Most of the stations connect to Plant No. 1 over an MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching)
network that allows for a network connection from Plant No.1 to the outlying stations.A third-
party MPLS provider firm (at this time,Time Warner)provides the MPLS network,furnishing
modems at each end of the connection and the interconnection infrastructure that creates the
functional network.The final connection to each remote station is a short run of multi-
conductor copper wire,much like a hardwired telephone line.This last run of copper represents
a potential single point of failure in the communications link to the station.
The SARI Gate connects over a leased line connection that previously used the Modbus Plus
protocol being phased out by OCSD.The Bitter Point Pump Station connects directly to Plant
No. 1 using a fiber optic link owned by OCSD.
Some pump stations have local HMIs.These me CRISP workstations running on obsolete
Digital Equipment Corporation(DEC)VAX workstations.
The plant's HMI for the pumps stations is also provided by obsolete VAX workstations
dedicated to the pump stations.The pump station graphics and HMI functions are not available
on other HMI workstations at Plant No.1 or Plant No.2.
Cameras me installed at some pump station locations.However,a standard for how the camera
data is brought back to Plant No. 1 has not yet been developed. Camera data can be brought
over the MPLS network.However,the desire is to separate this traffic from the process control
information.

3.14.5 Planned Upgrades
The following projects include planned upgrades to the OCSD communications system:
• The J-117A project will install a new interplant fiber link between Plant No. 1 and Plant
No.2 along the interplant pipeline,replacing the existing line.
• SP-196 will study the Plant SCADA and process control system and make
recommendations for future SCADA software and hardware platforms.This study will
likely lead to a project or multiple projects that will replace the PLC CPU hardware and
software and the HMI software used by OCSD.This project may also affect input output
hardware currently installed at the plant.
• OCSD is creating two core switch locations both at Plant No.1 and at Plant No. 2. These
locations will house redundant hubs of network and server hardware for the ICS and
Office IT networks as well as related servers.At Plant No. 1,these locations will be on
the second floor of the 111-101 Centrifuge Building and at the Plant 1 Control Center.At
Plant No. 2,the locations will be on the P2-92 Centrifuge Building second floor and an IT
Room,which will be constructed on the second floor of the COBS building by P2-107.
3.15 Plant Air System
3.15.1 Overview
The Plant Air System described in this section includes the High Pressure Air(HPA) system
and Instrument Air (IA)system.
The primary uses of plant air in the process areas include:
• Bubblers for water level measurement and other instrumentation
• Portable valve operators and other pneumatically controlled equipment
• Pneumatic tools for use by maintenance staff
In general,the HPA systems at both plants include air compressors and a looped piping system
that is sized to provide enough storage to eliminate the need for air tanks. Compressed air,
which is used for instrumentation,passes through air dryers before entering the IA system.
Water traps we located in various locations and are automatically actuated by mechanical
means.
The Cengen facilities at Plant No. 1 have dedicated HPA systems that are isolated from the
plant I IPA looped system for the following uses:
• Starting air-Pressurized air tank that starts the Cengen engines.
• Instrument air-Used in the Cengen facility.
The Plant No. 1 HPA compressors are listed in Table XX.
The discussion in this section is limited to process area uses and does not include nonprocess
uses in the operations building,laboratory,shop,administration building,or other places,
unless those uses are served by the plant HPA looped system. Other compressed air systems
(including air for channel agitation aeration,secondary treatment,and grit)are discussed in
other sections.

The original system layout of Plant No.1 was based on supplying air from the Blower Building.
The Blower Building initially had three functional compressors,but now has one operable
compressor. Other compressors,which are located in process areas away from the Blower
Building area,were originally intended to provide additional pressure and backup for the
primary compressors. Because the number of operating compressors in the Blower Building
has been reduced from three to one,there is more dependence on the compressors in the remote
locations. Plant No.1 High Pressure Air System is shown on Exhibit 3.17.
3.15.2 Operational Philosophy
3.15.2.1 Plant Air Uses
Uses of plant au in the process areas include the following:
• Bubblers for water level measurement and other instrumentation
• Valve operators and other pneumatically controlled equipment
• Pneumatic tools for use by maintenance staff
3.15.2.2 System Design Features
The HPA systems at both plants were designed with enough storage in the piping system to
eliminate the need for air tanks.
Compressed air,which is used for instrumentation,passes through air dryers before entering
the IA system.
The Cengen facilities at both plants have dedicated EPA systems that are isolated from the
plant HPA looped system. These systems pressurize the air tanks that start the Cengen engines
and supply instrument air needs in the Cengen facility.
Water traps are located in various locations and are automatically actuated by mechanical
means.
3.15.3 Current Performance
The current performance of the Plant Air System at Plant No. 1 has been adequate to serve the
current EPA and IA operational needs at each plant. This is expected to change in the future
when new facilities,currently in construction,place additional demands on the system.
3.15.4 Design Criteria
The Plant Air Systems have historically been evaluated on an informal basis,without the use of

3.15.5 Planned Upgrades
The following projects include planned upgrades to the OCSD plant air systems:
The XJ-129 project will upgrade the Plant Air system. The HFA/IA system at Plant 1 would be
designed for 1,320-or 1,680-scfm capacity depending on whether or not the existing DAFT
process remains in operation 5 years from now.The new configuration will include one spare
compressor train. This would require two new 600 scfm compressor trains to be installed as part
of the new stand-by generator/compressor building that will be constructed under P1-105 in
the area where the existing PCl/IT Trailer are currently located to supplement the current air
compressor capacity of 720 scfm.

3.16 Fat/Oil/Grease (FOG) Wastehauler System
3.16.1 Overview
Fats,oils,and grease(FOG)within OCSD's collection system impacts the conveyance of flows
to the treatment plants. FOG build-up in gravity sewers and manholes reduces available sewer
capacity and can ultimately result in blocked lines causing sanitary sewer overflows (SSO). To
reduce the amount of FOG entering the collection system,OCSD operates a dedicated discharge
site at Plant No. 1 for the disposal of septage,chemical toilet waste,and FOG wastes collected
by wastehaulers.
3.16.1.1 Regulatory Requirements
In April 2002, the RWQCB,Santa Ana Region,issued Order No.R8-2002-0014,General WDR.
This required Orange County cities and wastewater treatment agencies to monitor and control
SSOs. This was in response to a Grand Jury Report of April 2001,which stated that FOG
materials were major contributors to SSOs. The Order named OCSD as the lead to"facilitate
regional compliance."
Following issuance of the RWQCB's WDR,the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)
adopted a resolution in November 2004 requiring publicly owned collection systems to
implement Sewer System Management Plans to reduce the number and volume of SSOS. On
May 2,2006, the SWRCB adopted a Statewide General WDR for Sanitary Sewer Systems,Water
Quality Order No.2006-0003,which provides a consistent,statewide regulatory approach to
address SSOs. Based on SWRCB's actions,the RWQCB issued Order No.R8-2006-0081,which
rescinded its WDR in lieu of the statewide WDR as of December 2006.
To comply with the WDR,OCSD has implemented a FOG Source Control Program. The goal of
the program is to help eliminate SSOs that emanate from food service establishments(FSEs) and
residential areas within the OCSD FOG program service area. Additionally,OCSD engineering
and O&M activities help eliminate SSOs through preventative maintenance and rehabilitation
of sagging lines.
3.16.1.2 Existing Facility
The current wastehauler station includes a dumping station that is located at the northeast
margin of Plant No. 1,adjacent to the Ellis Avenue entrance. The dumping station can
accommodate two trucks at one time in two separate waste hookups. Each waste hookup has a
solid metal cover over a 4-inch quick-connect fitting. Waste discharged at the wastehauler
dump station flows by gravity through two parallel 12-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
wastehauler lines,which drain to the 78-inch interplant influent interceptor pipeline. From
there,wastehauler discharges flow to Plant No.2. The annular space in the casing includes an
overflow drain that connects to the Sunflower trunk line.A wastehauler pump station is located
just south of the dump station;however,it is abandoned and is not part of facility operations.

3.16.1.3 Existing Operation
Liquid waste(septage)and FOG are presently disposed of at the Plant No. 1 dumping station.
Haulers enter the plant at the Ellis Avenue entrance, drop off a copy of their manifest outside
the plant gate,and then proceed to the dumping station. When haulers arrive at the dump
station,they connect one end of the discharge hose to their truck and the other end to the quick-
connect fitting at the dump station. Next,they open their discharge valve allowing the waste to
be released for treatment and disposal. All trucks are equipped with reversible pumps that can
vacuum the waste from grease traps and pressurize the tank to discharge faster or discharge
into a receiving tank. Any overflow,resulting from a connection plug,truck leak,or surface-
rinsing runoff while the connector cover is off,flows to the overflow drain in the annular casing
and into the Sunflower trunk line.
FOG-laden wastewater is discharged from the haul truck at the dumping station and flows by
gravity to the interplant influent interceptor pipeline,which drains to Plant No. 2. City water is
used to flush the solids along the line. Operations staff reported that there is sufficient flow in
the trunk line to Plant No.2 to prevent FOG from coating the line.
The FOG,which has mixed with other wastewater flow during conveyance,proceeds through
the normal treatment process at Plant No.2. Some FOG forms grease balls that are removed
mechanically at the barscreens or manually at the aerated grit tanks. After screening and
degritting at the headworks,floatable material is removed in the primary sedimentation tanks
by the scum collection system.
The collected scum consists of the FOG that was dumped by the FOG hauler as well as FOG
transported to the plant from the wastewater collection system. The scum is periodically
pumped and combined with primary sludge. This mixture then flows to the anaerobic
digesters. Grease present in the scum/primary sludge has a tendency to coat the primary
sludge lines. Consequently,constrictions in the pipe result in higher head loss,which reduces
flow to the digesters. To alleviate this problem,parallel bypass piping has been provided to
allow for periodic steam cleaning of the primary sludge line.
Plant operators have observed that gas production at the digesters increases somewhat when
FOG,mixed with primary sludge,reaches the digesters.
Odor control is provided for the wastehauler hookup line and is discussed in the Master Plan
Section 3.7.
3.16.2 Operational Philosophy
The operational philosophy,with respect to the FOG collection and wastehauler station,
involves the following:
• Minimize FOG-related discharges into OCSD's collection system.
• Minimize wastehauler truck traffic impacts and FOG-related odor impacts.
• Manage FOG discharges into the wastewater treatment plants to minimize in-plant impacts
and operational and labor costs.
3.16.3 Current Performance

3.16.5 Planned Upgrades
The following projects include planned upgrades to the OCSD plant air systems:
Access from Ellis Avenue to the wastehauler station and the CNG fueling station will be
eliminated by construction of the new 405 on-ramp by Caltrans. Relocation of these stations is
necessary to prevent unnecessary traffic through the plant from a new plant entrance on Ellis
Avenue,which will eliminate security issues associated with traffic through the plant.The new
location will have an enclosure that will capture odors and convey them to the available
scrubbing capacity at the Trunklines and Headworks odor control systems via the SALS wet
well.

4.1 Preliminary Treatment
4.1.1 Overview
Plant No.2 receives wastewater primarily from the western and coastal parts of the service
area. Plant No.2 Preliminary Treatment Index and Details are shown on Exhibits 4-1 and 4-
2.Trunk lines connecting to Plant No.2 are fisted in Table 44.The Newport Force Main
connects to the Coast Trunk upstream of the Diversion Structure within Plant No.2.

Completed in 2011,the Headworks provides all preliminary treatment at Plant No.2.It has
a rated capacity of 340 million gallons per day(mgd).
The diversion and influent metering structures contain instruments that monitor influent
wastewater characteristics entering Plant No.2.Each of the four trunk lines is monitored for
flow,pH,conductivity,temperature,and level;flows are measured with magnetic
flowmeters.
These structures also have motorized gates,stop plate guides,and removable concrete walls
so flow can be diverted from one trunk to another for meter or gate maintenance.
There are six mechanically cleaned climber bar screens with dedicated inlet and outlet
isolation gates and one emergency bypass channel.Screenings removed by each of the three
bar screens are transported by a dedicated water sluiceway to three screenings
washers/compactors.The processed screenings are then transported by shaftless screw
conveyors to a trailer in an enclosed building for off-site disposal.
The Influent Pump Station consists of a split wet well and a dry pit that houses seven
vertical non-clog centrifugal main sewage pumps(five duty,two standby).Each pump is
rated for 68 mgd and is driven by a 700-horsepower (hp)motor with a variable frequency
drive (VFD). The station is designed for a peak wet weather flow of 340 mgd.

The wet well consists of two compartments allowing a portion of the wet well to be isolated
for maintenance.A wet well equalization gate is located in the common wall between the
two compartments.A level monitoring system for the wet well provides data for automatic
control of the main sewage pumps and alarm activation.
The grit removal system consists of six vortex grit basins. The peak wet weather capacity is
340 mgd with all six grit basins in service.Each grit basin includes a mixer,an inlet gate,a
grit hopper,and an outlet gate. Effluent from the grit basins flows into the primary influent
splitter box and is then conveyed to three primary influent distribution structures by
primary influent pipelines.After grit settles,it is collected in the grit hopper.
The grit hopper"fluff" system injects water and/or air into the bottom of the grit hoppers
near the grit pump suction inlets to re-suspend grit that has collected in the hopper before a
pumping cycle begins. The grit pumping system,which cycles on/off based on a timer,
pumps grit slurry from the grit basins to the grit dewatering units at the Grit Handling
Building.
The grit dewatering and loading system concentrates and dewaters the pumped grit slurry.
This system includes pneumatic-actuated feed valves and four grit dewatering units. Each
grit dewatering unit consists of a grit dewatering auger and a classifier fitted with three
cyclones.Dewatering augers discharge grit into a common trailer.To achieve even
distribution in the trailer,discharge points can be adjusted.
The Primary Splitter Structure provides a controlled flow split to the three downstream
primary distribution structures. This structure has a three-compartment configuration that
uses weir plates to achieve the flow split.
Weir isolation gates adjust the active weir length in each compartment. The number of open
weir isolation gates in each compartment corresponds to the number of primary clarifiers
served by the associated primary distribution structures. Two gates allow for flow
equalization between compartments.Scum weir gates and high-volume sprayers facilitate
scum movement for removal in primary clarifiers.Three primary splitter gates allow for
isolated each compartment of the Primary Splitter Structure.
The primary influent metering structure includes three magnetic flowmeters to individually
meter the flow rate to each primary distribution structure.
Two automatic samplers take samples from the grit basin effluent channel upstream of the
Primary Splitter Structure.Ferric chloride is injected in either the Primary Splitter Structure
compartments or in the primary influent meter pipelines downstream of the influent
flowmeters.
The headworks structure is fully enclosed.Odorous air is continuously withdrawn from the
various odor sources including,influent diversion,bar screens,pumping, grit handling,and
splitter boxes.The collected air is treated in a two-stage treatment consisting of bioscrubbers

and chemical scrubbers. Odor control is discussed in more detail in Section 4.8 of this
chapter.
The Headworks Ferric Chloride Facility consists of two bulk storage tanks and a chemical
feed system with six chemical metering pumps.Ferric chloride is added to the primary
influent flow stream either at the Primary Splitter Structure or at the primary influent
metering structure downstream of the primary influent flowmeters.The ferric chloride
addition provides for odor control,chemically enhanced primary treatment,and H2S
control in digester gas.
4.1.2 Operational Philosophy
Normally,individual trunk line flows remain separated throughout the diversion structure
and the influent metering structure.This allows for monitoring influent wastewater
characteristics,including flow rate.
When the inlet and outlet gates for a bar screen are open,the associated bar screen channel
is considered on-line.When the inlet and outlet gates for a bar screen are closed,the
associated bar screen channel is considered off-line.Normally,at least two bar screen
channels are on-line.
Bar screens in on-line channels operate according to a timer and the differential level across
the screens.Additional channels ("Lag" screens) are brought on-line by high levels in the
inlet channel,high differential level, or by bar screen failure.Operations staff determines
when to take such lag bar screen channels off-line to return to normal operation.
The influent pump station consists of seven main sewage pumps,all with VFDs.The pumps
operate to maintain a wet well level setpoint. Depending on the influent flow rate,the pump
speed is varied and additional units are brought on-line or off-line,as needed,to maintain
the level setpoint. Normally,one or two pumps operate.
When operating with two or more pumps simultaneously,their speeds are synchronized.If
the wet well level drops below the setpoint value while the Lead pump is running below the
low speed setpoint for a time delay,the pump speed is clamped at the minimum speed,and
the pump operates in fill-draw mode.
During normal operation,at least two grit basins are in service.Additional grit basins are
placed into service based on the influent flow rate.Operations staff determines when to
place additional grit basins into or out of service based on the total influent flow rate.Each
grit basin is designed to handle up to approximately 57 mgd.
To withdraw grit that has settled at the bottom of the grit basins,grit pumps cycle on and
off using a timer.When a grit pump is called to start,water or air is first injected into the
bottom of the grit basin hopper to re-suspend settled grit.The grit pumps then withdraw
grit slurry from the grit basins and feed the grit dewatering units at the Grit Handling

Building,which concentrate and dewater grit slurry.The dewatered grit is discharged into a
trailer for disposal.
Effluent from the Headworks is split and routed to the three Distribution Structures. The
flow split is accomplished by operating weir isolation gates at the primary sputter structure.
The number of open weir isolation gates in each splitter compartment corresponds to the
number of primary clarifiers served by the associated Distribution Structures.The flow split
ratio between the three Distribution Structure's is maintained regardless of the total influent
flow if the number of open weir gates in each compartment remains unmodified.
The primary influent flowmeters housed in the primary splitter structure provide flow data,
which is used for flow-pacing ferric chloride into the primary influent streams.
Ferric chloride is added at the Headworks as part of chemically enhanced primary
treatment(CEPT).This is discussed in detailed in Section 4.3 of this chapter.
Odor control is discussed in detail in Section 4.8.
Chemical addition for odor control is discussed in detail in Section 4.8.
4.1.3 Current Performance
Treatment Plant Operational Data(TPODS) are presented in Appendix B.
For Fiscal Year(FY)2015-16, grit and screenings removal averaged 181 tons at Plant No.2.
With an average flow of 66 mgd,this equates to 180 lbs/day/MG.

4.1.5 Planned Lbgrades Currently In Design
This project will modify the Headworks to accommodate two treatment trains,with the
south half dedicated to the reclaimable flows and the north half dedicated to the non-
reclaimable flows.The non-reclaimable streams include the Santa Ana River Interceptor
(SARI),which is diverted from Plant No. 1 to Plant No. 2 through the Interplant Interceptor,
and thickening and dewatering side streams generated at Plant No. 1. Each half of the
headworks will be isolated from the other by installing motorized gates at key locations.
Automated isolation gates will also be installed to simplify operations during peak wet
weather events when both sides of the Headworks are needed to treat all influent flows.As
part of this project, the Headworks rated peak wet weather capacity may be reduced from
340 mgd to 317 mgd to match existing secondary capacity and to improve flexibility when
modifying the pumps to accommodate lower flows and two treatment trains.
The project team is currently determining the design criteria for the planned upgrades.
4.1.6 Criticality Table
The term"criticality," as applied to a particular equipment unit,refers to that unit's likely
consequence of failure. These failure consequences are broken into categories according to
various process requirements.
The information below was taken from the revised (2012) Criticality table,originally from
the 2007 Energy Master Plan.
Equipment in this process area generally falls into the following categories:
• Water-In:Influent pumping,flow control gates,screening/grit removal.
• Process Control:Instrumentation,lighting panels,communications,SCADA,valve/gate
operators.
• Sump Pumps:
— Diversion Pumping:Ellis Pump Station.
• Area Classification:Ventilation fans.
• Odor Control: scrubber equipment,supply,and exhaust fans.
• Administration/Maintenance.

CONTENTS
The main criticality category affected by equipment in this process area is Water-In (influent
pumping).This includes influent pumps(main sewage pumps),bar screens,and diversion
gates.
4.2 Primary Treatment
After preliminary treatment,primary clarifiers remove the settleable and floatable solids in
the wastewater.Sludge and scum are sent to anaerobic digesters for stabilization.
4.2.1 Overview
Plant No.2 Primary Treatment Index and Details are shown on Exhibits 4-3 and 4-4.
Table 4-3 lists the primary clarifiers at Plant No. 2.All clarifiers are identified alphabetically
so they are not confused with clarifiers at Plant No.1,which are identified numerically.

The Plant No.2 primary clarifiers are grouped into three groups,or"sides": A side,B side,
and C side. All are 140-foot-diameter circular clarifiers,with a 12-mgd capacity. Each side is
served by a distribution structure that receives flow from Headworks.
The A-side clarifiers include D,E,F,and G clarifiers.The B-side clarifiers include H,I,J,K
and L clarifiers.The C-side clarifiers include M,N,O,P and Q clarifiers.
Primary effluent from the clarifiers can be routed either southerly to the Oxygen Activated
Sludge (AS)Plant or the Trickling Filter Solids Contact(TFSC)facility.In an extreme
emergency where secondary treatment is unavailable,primary effluent can be routed
directly to the outfall system.
Sludge and scum from the clarifiers is pumped to a central sludge complex in the digester
area and then pumped to digesters.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
In addition to the clarifiers described above,the first clarifiers,A,B, and C(rectangular),can
no longer be operated as clarifiers but can provide approximately 1.3 million gallons of
emergency effluent storage.These basins were previously used as primary clarifiers but
have since been converted to emergency storage basins that can also be filled with final
effluent from the outfall channel system during an emergency. All sludge withdrawal
equipment in the basins has been removed,and the basins will be removed in the near
future by Project No.P2-110.
The odor control facilities are described in detail in Section 4.8 of this chapter.
4.2.2 Operational Philosophy
The effluent structure for Primary Clarifiers AB,and C is configured so water enters the
basins when the water level in the Ocean Outfall Booster Station(GOBS)and Effluent Pump
Station Annex(EPSA)wet wells exceeds an elevation of 8.25 feet.This is below the 10.25-
foot elevation of the Santa Ana River discharge weirs.These clarifiers are to be demolished
under Project P2-110.
All clarifiers receive primary influent from the Headworks through one of three distribution
structures (DS-A,DS-B,and DS-C).The clarifiers,as previously mentioned,are grouped into
three banks (A-side,B-side,and C-side).Each clarifier bank is fed from its respective
distribution structure.Motorized gates on the distribution structures direct flow to the
individual clarifiers.
The A-side clarifiers(D-G) receive flow from DSA.
The B-side clarifiers(H-L) receive wastewater from DS-B and can receive belt filter press
filtrate from the belt filter press facility.When the new centrifuge dewatering facility is
placed in service when Project P2-92 is complete,centrate line will be installed to all three
distribution structures.DS-B has one unused potential pipe connection with a bulkhead
already in place.
The C-side clarifiers (M-Q) receive wastewater from DS-C and flows from the WSSPS near
Digester P.
Plant No.2 uses CEPT in the primary basins to remove readily settleable solids. With CEPT,
effluent quality is unproved and H2S in the digester gas is reduced.The process is generally
controlled at the Headworks by feeding each of the three sets of clarifiers.Ferric chloride is
added to the primary influent stream at the primary influent metering structure
downstream of the primary influent flowmeters for each side of the primary plant.Polymer
is added to the three distribution structures that feed the primary clarifiers.Ferric chloride is
typically dosed at approximately 20 mg/liter(L).The dose for polymer varies depending on
the type of polymer used.Regular jar testing by Operations staff determines the specific
dose rates for ferric chloride and for polymer.
CEPT feed points for Plant No. 2 are summarized in Tables 4-4 and 4-5.

Distribution Structure C(DS C) C-Side Individual feed to each PC.
Each pair of primary clarifiers has a sludge-pumping station,for a total of seven
sludge-pumping stations at Plant No. 2. Each station includes three progressive cavity
sludge and scum pumps.
Primary sludge is pumped to a central sludge complex in the digester area.From there,it is
distributed to the digesters.
Generally,the Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)operates the clarifiers at
approximately 12-inch-thick sludge blanket levels,providing a sludge density of
approximately 5 percent solids.Progressive cavity pumps pump this sludge to the digesters.
Sludge and scum are collected by slow-moving scrapers and baffles on the clarifiers' sweep
arms.The scrapers and baffles push the scum onto a beach to separate it from the water,and
then drop it into a scum pit.The scum in the scum pit is decanted at each pair of clarifiers.
After decanting,the scum is pumped as needed from each scum pit to the central sludge
complex using one of the progressive cavity sludge/scum pumps.
All primary clarifiers discharge primary effluent to a piping system,which collects flow and
routes it to secondary treatment processes pump stations. Plant No.2 has two secondary
treatment processes that receive primary effluent.Though the piping system allows for
primary effluent to be directed to either process,the A side of the primary treatment system
is better situated to feed the Oxygen Activated Sludge (AS)plant,whereas the B side and C
side are better situated to feed the Trickling Filter Solids Contact (TFSC)facility.
Flow from the B side and C side of the primary plant that travels to the AS plant is limited
due to a 54-inch section of line within the piping system that feeds the AS plant. Field tests
have indicated that flow from the B side and C side through the 54-inch line is limited to
about 65 mgd.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
During an emergency where secondary treatment is not available,primary effluent can
overflow a weir at the TFSC pump station or a weir gate can be opened at EPSA.Primary
effluent can be directed to the outfall system by opening a gate on the PEDB,bypassing
secondary treatment.A future project will eliminate the primary effluent line to the outfall
system.
4.2.1 Primary Clarifier Capacity
In general,the most significant flow rates for master planning are the Average Daily Flow
(ADF) and Peak Wet Weather Flow (PW WF).
The ADF capacity is the flow rate the facility can operate efficiently at for long periods of
time. It is intended to cover the normal flow range that occurs each day.
The PW WF capacity is a maximum flow the facility can operate at within regulatory
compliance for short periods of time.Because PW WF conditions occur infrequently,
occasionally operating under this condition would not significantly affect either the life of
the equipment or the plant's operating economics.
The capacity of the treatment facilities is determined for the various flow rates and
conditions under which the facilities are expected to operate.
Table 46 summarizes the PC capacity at Plant No. 2.

' One basin on the A side is assumed to be out of service under the criteria of the single largest unit being out
of service.This assumption represents the mrstcase scenario for plant hydraulics because it brings the
greatest flow from the 108-inch primary effluent pipeline to the Activated Sludge Plant through the 54-inch
primary effluent pipeline.

4.2.3 Overview
OCSD completed its expansion of the secondary treatment facilities at Plant No.1 and No. 2
in response to two major policy changes.The first policy change was a 2002 decision to
upgrade the level of treatment to full secondary treatment standards as defined in the Clean
Water Act.This expansion was completed in 2012.The second policy change was the 1999
Strategic Plan recommendations for the GWRS and the GAP,both operated by the Orange
County Water District(OCWD),in an effort to support water reclamation.
The 2002 decision resulted in the consent decree dates shown in Table 4-11.

4.2.4 Plant Flow Routing
Primary effluent comes to the secondary facilities at Plant No.2 through two main pipelines.
The first is a 108-inch primary effluent pipeline that runs east-west.The TFSC takes primary
effluent from a connection to this pipeline (i.e.PEDS) for secondary treatment.A second
primary effluent pipeline joins the 108-inch primary effluent with a 54-inch butterfly valve,
bringing primary effluent south to the PEPS for secondary treatment by the activated sludge
facility.Project P2-98 will replace the 54-inch primary effluent piping to eliminate current
hydraulic bottlenecks.
Secondary effluent from the existing activated sludge facility travels north to COBS and/or
EPSA for discharge into the ocean.Secondary effluent from the TFSC travels south to the
same outfall wet well system.

4.2.6 Facility Flow Routing
Primary effluent enters this facility from the primary clarifiers through a 54-inch pipeline to
an 84-inch primary effluent pipeline.This 84-inch line runs south to the PEPS;from the
PEPS,it is pumped to the activated sludge facility.The northernmost clarifiers(all C-side
clarifiers and most of the B-side clarifiers)connect to the 108-inch primary effluent pipeline,
while the southernmost clarifiers (some B-side clarifiers and the A-side clarifiers) connect to
the 54-inch and then the 84-inch pipeline.In general,primary effluent from the northern
clarifiers will flow to TFSC(P2-90),and effluent from the southern clarifiers will be treated
by the activated sludge facility.
The primary flow source to the PEPS is through the primary effluent pipeline from the
primary clarifiers.A 24-inch dissolved air flotation thickener(DAFT)underdrain and an 18-
inch storm drain are also available,both of which have flap gates at the PEPS wet well to
prevent backflow or odor from escaping.
Effluent from the secondary clarifiers is pumped to the ocean outfall system.It is either
discharged to OOBS through an 84-inch pipeline to JB-8 or intercepted by the secondary
effluent junction box and sent to the EPSA.
4.2.7 Activated Sludge Aeration Basins
Each aeration tank has four stages in series separated by concrete baffle walls along the tank
at equal intervals. Each baffle wall has five openings across the bottom,two foam slots near
the water surface,and a gas port at the top center.Oxygen is piped to the first stage of each
reactor tank and flows from stage to stage via gas ports in the dividing walls between each
stage.Surface aerators are mounted to the aeration tank slab roofs at the center of each
stage.
Primary effluent is pumped from PEPS to an influent splitter box at the head of the aeration
tanks. Flow enters each tank through a submerged opening at the front wall of each stage.
Mixed liquor from the aeration tanks flows through 30-inch pipes(two per tank) to an
aerated channel at the head end of the secondary clarifiers.
4.2.8 Secondary Clarifiers
Each secondary clarifier has three openings from an aerated channel conveying mixed
liquor along the head of the clarifiers.Gates at these openings can be used for isolation or
flow control.
422 pn.\Ykm6iVMwremn`,Ctiem/CNOCSD'103}9FOON:MenbksY201]h .,P6n\Qa 4MDFNP 2017-PlainN..2,d
CONTENTS
Each clarifier has three parallel chain-and-flight collectors that move scum to a scum trough
at the downstream end and push settled sludge to the sludge sump at the front end of each
tank.A cross collector moves sludge to the sludge sump.Two of the longitudinal collectors
have a common drive,as do the third longitudinal collector and the cross collector.
Sludge is withdrawn from the clarifier sump and discharged to the sludge box above the
sump.Sludge flows from the sludge box through a rate controller butterfly valve located in
the secondary clarifier tunnel.The sludge discharges to a common sludge-withdrawal line
for all the secondary clarifiers.
Double-weir launders,oriented perpendicular to the tank length,collect effluent overflow
into longitudinal troughs that feed an effluent channel along the entire width of the
clarifiers.A concrete double-trough upstream of the launder collects scum as it flows over a
weir. This connects the upstream trough to a downstream trough feeding a Parshall flume,
which discharges to a scum pit on the west side of Clarifier A.
There are two RAS pump stations:The West RAS Pump Station(West RAS) and the East
RAS Pump Station(East RAS). These pump stations are located in the tunnels along the east
and west side of the aeration reactors.Each pump station has three RAS pumps and two
waste activated sludge(WAS) pumps.
Sludge-withdrawal piping from the clarifiers shares a common header,which allows sludge
from all clarifiers to be conveyed to either pump station.The valve configuration allows
sludge from the first six clarifiers to be conveyed to the West RAS,and sludge from the last
six clarifiers to be conveyed to the East RAS.
The RAS line from the West RAS feeds the first four aeration tanks,and the RAS line from
the East RAS feeds the last four tanks.The piping,however,can be configured to divert all
RAS flow to one of the aeration tank trains. RAS is pumped to the influent distribution box
at the front end of each aeration tank,where it flows over a weir into the first stage of the
tanks. The RAS system has three modes of operation:constant flow,constant percent
recycle,or constant mixed liquor suspended solids(MLSS)using density meters at suction
headers.P1-74 installed new NaOCI injection lines into the RAS lines at both the east and
west side RAS PS.WAS from the West RAS and East RAS is pumped to a common
discharge pipe and routed to the DAFT units for thickening.
The activated sludge aeration basins are covered to maintain high oxygen levels,but they
contain odors as well.
There are two 40,000 gal liquid oxygen (LOX) storage tanks and two sets of vaporizers
fenced within this facility. LOX is delivered to the facility by truck several tunes per week.

Influent
Primary influent to this facility comes through a 108-inch primary effluent pipeline,which
connects to a diversion structure called the Primary Effluent Distribution Box (PEDS) on the
existing 108-inch primary effluent pipeline.
The TFPS contains vertical turbine solids handling pumps,with space for two future
pumps.The pumps share a common inlet sump and discharge to a common 724nch
4-2I pn.\Ykm6iVMwremn`,Ctiem/CNOCSD'103}9FOON:MenbksY201]h .,P6n\Qa 4MDFM1P 2017-PlatN..2,d
CONTENTS
manifold. Isolation valves are configured so that each trickling filter normally has a pair of
dedicated pumps. Flowmeters are on the individual discharge lines to each trickling filter.A
passive overflow weir at the TFPS allows for emergency bypass of primary effluent to the
outfall system.
E uent
The TFSC has provisions for effluent disinfection,which are currently not in operation. The
combined effluent from the clarifiers is conveyed through a 120-inch-diameter pipe to the
existing outfall system,where it is blended with the other discharges from Plant No. 1 and
No.2.The discharge pipe includes a flowmeter to measure secondary effluent flow to the
existing outfall system.
4.2.8.4.3 Trickling Filters
The trickling filters are equipped with modular plastic cross-flow media.The trickling filter
distributors can vary the rotational speed for flushing.The filters are covered with domes
and have fans that recirculate air from the plenum to the dome,improving oxygen supply to
the biomass. Each filter treats off-gas through activated carbon towers.Fresh air enters the
trickling filters through gravity vents and openings at the base of the trickling filter domes.
4.2.8.4.4 Solids Contact Reactors and Sludge Reaeration Reactors
Trickling filter effluent flows to the solids contact reactors (SCRs).Return secondary sludge
(RSS) from the sludge reaeration reactors(SRRs)is normally blended with the trickling filter
effluent in the trickling filter effluent channels before distribution to the SCRs.
Four SCRs provide one-half of the solids contact process volume,with the remaining
volume provided in the aerated mixed liquor channels between the SCRs and the fast
trickling filter clarifier distribution structure.Each SCR has two motorized inlet gates for
flow distribution.Oxygen is transferred to the process fluid through flexible-membrane fine
bubble diffusion equipment.Flow leaves the SCRs through weirs and launders that control
the water surface elevation level of the SRRs and SCRs.
There are also four SRRs.Inlet gates provide flow distribution,and flexible-membrane fine
bubble diffusion equipment provides oxygen transfer to the process fluid.Flow exits the
SRRs through motorized gates.Provisions for surface wasting of RSS from the downstream
end of the SRRs are provided by manual slot weirs,which also prevent foam and scum
buildup.Discharge from the reactor drain gate travels to the trickling filter process drain
station.
The RSS is returned at the northern end of the SRRs,with separate RSS conduits for the east
and west trickling filter clarifiers.The RSS can be combined before distributing it to the
SRRs,or the facility can be operated as two parallel plants. Lastly,the center channels in the
SCRs and gating allow for bypassing flow directly to the secondary clarifiers.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
The TFSC facility can be operated without the solids contact portion of the system
operating.In this mode,the facility operates more like a traditional pickling filter.However,
the effluent is of lesser quality.
4.2.8.4.5 Secondary Clarifiers
Trickling filter clarifiers are flocculator-type with a center-feed/hydraulic-sludge-collection
mechanism and a circular flocculator center well.An inboard launder collects the effluent.
Flow traveling to the clarifiers passes through cut throat flumes from the mined liquor
channels and 60-inch pipes to each clarifier's center feed well.Settled solids enter a manifold
at the bottom of the collector mechanism.Each trickling filter clarifier has two dedicated
variable-speed,solids-handling RSS pumps,each with a magnetic flowmeter;the pumps
withdraw sludge and discharge into two common 36-inch manifolds conveying the flow
back to the RSS control structure at the northern end of the SCR.A portion of the sludge is
wasted to the existing DAFTs to maintain a desired SRT in the SCR.
Scum is collected in a scum sump located in the scum-collection ring. This ring consists of a
vertical constant-speed cantilever pump,a level transmitter, discharge piping,and isolation
valves.An additional scum pump is located at the end of the mixed liquor channels.Each
scum pump discharges into the common header,which contains a flowmeter.Scum flows to
the DAFTs or headworks.
4.2.8.4.6 Solids Hardline
Each clarifier has two RSS pumps located on the sludge discharge line,for a total of 12.
The SRR/SCR structure has three waste secondary sludge pumps.
4.2.8.4.7 Aeration Blowers
Two sets of blowers provide low-pressure air to the fine bubble diffusers in the SRRs,SCRs,
and associated channels.For each system, there are three blowers.
The solids contact blower system serves the SCRs, the west and east mixed liquor channels,
and the trickling filter effluent channels. The SR blower system serves the SRBs,the west
and east RSS channels,and the RSS distribution channel.
4.2.8.4.8 Odor Control
Tricklinz Filters
The odor control system for the trickling filters uses geodesic domes (covers),forced
ventilation,and chemical scrubbers followed by carbon filters.
Fresh air is introduced into the trickling filters through eight gravity vent intakes that
penetrate the domes.These intakes operate in conjunction with the forced air system,which
consists of two air recirculation fans,one foul air fan,and a carbon filter. One recirculation
fan operates with the other unit as a standby.As air is vented or recirculated through the
426 pn.\Ykm6iVMwremn`,Ctiem/CNOCSr'103}9FOON:MenbksYt01]h§ererP6n\Qaper 4 MmW W1]-Plain N..id
CONTENTS
domes,it is drawn through the media and directed to a foul air plenum at the edge of the
structure.From this location,the foul air can be recirculated through the trickling filter or
extracted from the system through the foul air fan and treated with the associated chemical
scrubber carbon filter.
Each trickling filter has the capacity to recirculate 55,000 cubic feet per minute (cfm).Foul air
can be removed from each trickling filter to the chemical scrubbers at 11,000 cfm. This
equates to a total air flow through the media of 66,000 cfm.When the scrubber is out of
service,the higher capacity recirculation fan can use a fresh air intake on the recirculation
fan intake duct to ventilate the space above the media.
Each trickling filter dome has four access doors and an aluminum walkway that provides
access to the full perimeter of the dome. The access doors are typically opened and used as
exhaust points for ventilating air during maintenance activities.
TFPS Wet Well
The foul air generated in the TFPS wet well is routed through an 8-inch FRP foul air pipeline
to the Trickling Filter C odor control facility.This 8-inch line will connect to the Trickling
Filter C's 30-inch foul air piping associated with the foul air fan,and will be controlled by
manipulating an 8-inch butterfly valve.
Odor control consists of three foul air exhaust ducts (one from each clarifier), three exhaust
blowers, three chemical scrubbers,three activated carbon units(each venting a single
trickling filter),and three exhaust stacks. Refer to Section 4.8 for more information about
odor control.
Disinfection
Secondary effluent from the trickling filters can be disinfected with 12.5 percent sodium
hypochlorite (NaOCI). However,this is not currently practiced.
4.2.9 Operational Philosophy
The Plant No.2 secondary treatment facilities were upgraded to meet the secondary
standards of the Clean Water Act.
The ratio of flows between the AS and the TFSC vary according to total plant flow. The flow
split between the two for years 2011-2015 is shown in Figure 4-1.
The flow setpoint is derived from either the raw sewage flowmeters or the primary effluent
flowmeters.It is delayed to allow for the transit time between the meters and the PEPS.
The flow split between the AS and TFSC is controlled by the pumps and wet well levels in
those facilities. PEPS provides primary influent to AS,and the TFPS provides primary
influent to TFSC.

4.2.9.2.1 General
The plant is divided into east and west trains,each with four aeration tanks and six
clarifiers.Each train has a separate return activated sludge pump station.Pure oxygen is
supplied by the oxygen storage facility.
4.2.9.2.2 Facility Flow Routine
In uent
The PEPS pumps control flow to this facility based on the total plant flow. The PEPS has an
operating range of 20 mgd to 150 mgd with one pump out of service. In this mode,the
variable speed pumps will maintain the desired flow rate.
There has been concern that pipeline hydraulics could limit the amount of flow coming to
the AS from the northern clarifiers.The P2-98 Primary Clarifiers Rehabilitation&
Replacement Project will address current hydraulic bottlenecks in the PE piping.
E uent
Effluent from the secondary clarifiers travels to the outfall system for ocean disposal.
From the clarifiers,effluent flows through an 84-inch pipeline to JB-8 and then to the GOBS.
The Secondary Junction Box can also intercept flow on the 84-inch of pipe and send it to the
EPSA.
423 N17-M aN 2d .
CONTENTS
4.2.9.2.3 AS Reactors
Primary effluent is pumped from PEPS to an influent splitter box at the head of the AS
reactors.Flow enters each tank through a submerged opening at the front wall of each stage.
Under normal operations,four,six,or eight reactors are in service.The process uses four
stages in each reactor. Between each stage is a baffle wall with five openings across the
bottom,two foam slots near the water surface,and a gas port at the top center.
Oxygen from the oxygen storage facility is piped to the first stage of each reactor tank.
Oxygen flows from stage to stage via the gas ports in the dividing walls between the stages
and is transferred to the water by continuously operating the surface aerators in each zone.
Mixed liquor flow to the reactors is controlled by fixed weirs in Stage 4;it then flows by
gravity through 30-inch pipes (two per aeration tank)to an aerated channel at the head end
of the secondary clarifiers.
4.2.9.2.4 Secondary Clarifiers
The mixed liquor in the aerated channel is fed to the secondary clarifiers by controlling the
three gates at the head of each basin. Each of the three parallel chain-and-flight collectors are
continuously operated to move scum to a scum trough at the downstream end and push
settled sludge to the front of each tank,where a cross collector moves sludge to the sludge
sump.
Normally,the sludge collected in the clarifiers is withdrawn equally from each clarifier,
unless sludge blanket levels in the clarifiers become unbalanced.Sludge is withdrawn from
the clarifier sump and discharged to the sludge box above the sump.Sludge flows from the
sludge box through a rate controller butterfly valve located in the secondary clarifier tunnel.
The sludge flow rate from each clarifier is controlled by a meter and a butterfly valve.
To optimize sludge withdrawal from each clarifier in the sludge collection system,a mostly
open valve control concept is used.The RAS and WAS pumping systems determine the
total sludge flow.
Scum and floating material are continuously skimmed to the effluent end of the secondary
clarifiers by the longitudinal collector flights. The scum then travels over a weir in each tank
and into a trough,where a motor-operated slide gate is raised intermittently to flush
collected scum from the trough into a channel.The channel empties into a scum discharge
pit on the west side of Clarifier A. Each slide gate is opened and closed in sequence for a
preset time interval to reduce underflow volume.A Parshall flume in the channel measures
the rate of flow.The scum then flows from the scum pit to a 24-inch basin drain and is
returned to the Headworks.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
4.2.9.2.5 Solids Handline
RAS
Three return sludge pumps in each RAS pump station pump sludge from the clarifier and
recycle it to the AS reactors.The pumps are controlled from the master pump control panel
and RAS control panel in each pump station.The pumps are variable speed units that can be
operated under the following four control systems:
1. Constant speed.
2. Constant flow to each set of AS reactors.
3. Constant percent recycle(RAS flow as a percentage of total primary effluent flow). If the
RAS suspended solids concentration remains constant,this control will maintain a
constant NILS,S concentration in the AS reactors.A flow ratio station on the return
activated sludge control panel accepts a flow signal from the primary effluent meter,
computes the required sludge flow,and sends a signal to the pump controllers. Sludge
flow is measured by the flowmeter in the pump discharge header.
4. Constant NILSS.To maintain a constant MLSS in the reactors,the percentage of activated
sludge recycled can be varied to respond to changes in AS influent flow and in the RAS
concentration.
WAS
The waste sludge system is designed to maintain a constant sludge wasting rate.The rate is
set to keep the biomass in the oxygen reactors at a constant solids retention time(SRT) and
thus a stable system.
Each secondary sludge pump station has two variable speed waste sludge pumps.The
pumps are controlled from waste sludge control centers and the secondary sludge control
panel in each secondary sludge pump station.
Scum
Scum from the scum pit is returned to the Headworks.
4.2.9.2.6 Foam Control
In the AS reactors,each baffle wall has foam slots near the water surface so foam can pass.
4.2.9.3.1 General
This facility provides secondary treatment using the TFSC process.There are two modes of
operation available;with and without solids contact basins.The normal mode of operation
is with solids contact basins for improved treatment.

CONTENTS
4.2.9.3.2 Facility Flow Routine
In uent
The TFPS pumps control the influent flow rate to this facility,based on the flow rate and
wet well level. The TFPS is configured so that each trickling filter is normally served by a
pair of dedicated pumps.Flowmeters on the individual discharge lines to each trickling
filter are provided for distributor speed control.
The TFPS is controlled on a level setpoint. Three lead pumps normally operate continuously
(corresponding to the three trickling filters in service).When the pumps reach minimum
speed,they maintain that speed,and the trickling filter effluent is recirculated back to the
TFPS to maintain the level in the wet well. To achieve this, there are three motor-operated
modulating butterfly valves (one per trickling filter).Recirculation valves are arranged in a
lead/lag configuration so only one valve modulates at a time.A passive overflow weir is
provided to bypass flow to the COBS during a power failure.
E uent
The combined effluent from the clarifiers is conveyed in a 120-inch-diameter pipe to the
existing Ocean Outfall pumping system.There,it is blended with secondary effluent from
all the other streams from Plant No.1 and No. 2 before being discharged to the ocean.The
discharge pipe includes a flowmeter to measure secondary effluent flow from the TFSC.
4.2.9.3.3 Trickline Filters
Under normal operation,all trickling filters are in service.The trickling filter distributors
will automatically vary the rotational speed to maintain a set flushing intensity based on
flowmeters on the primary effluent lines to each trickling filter.
For ventilation,fresh air enters the covered trickling filter through gravity vents and
openings at the base of the covers.Normally,one of the two foul air fans will draw air from
the plenum for treatment through the recently installed chemical scrubbers.
During minimum diurnal flow periods(plant flows less than 35 mgd),little or no primary
effluent is available to the TFSC.Lead pumps will run at the min m=speed,with
recirculation valves open to maintain the wet well level;recirculation and foul air fans will
operate as normal.During these periods,the PEPS must not pump more flow than the plant
influent flow rate or the level in the TFFS wet well will be drawn down For this reason,
always routing some minimum flow to the TFSC is beneficial.
Above 54 mgd,the pump speed for three trickling filters is varied to maintain the wet well
level.At flows above approximately 109 mgd,the lead pumps operate at 100 percent speed.
The lag pumps start when the lead pumps reach a preset percent of full speed. If all lag
pumps have the same lead pump percent of speed value entered,they start nearly
simultaneously. All pumps operate at the same speed up to a total flow of 182 mgd.Once all
pumps are started,they operate at the same speed required to control the level. This

operation is the normal means of control when the manifold valves are in the closed
position and dedicated pumping to each trickling filter occurs.
A different operation using staged lag pump starts (i.e.,the lead pump percent of full speed
value is set differently for each lag pump)can be used.This configuration is used if the
manifold valves are open or if the period of operation requiring the lag pumps is short
enough that the loss in process efficiency from one trickling filter operating at a significantly
higher throughput rate has limited impact on plant performance.Similar control for a
falling level to shut the lag pumps down is also provided,allowing either"simultaneous" or
staged shutdown.
4.2.9.3.4 Trickling Filters Flooding
The trickling filters(TFs)are designed to allow flooding for snail and filter fly larvae
control. The TF flooding operation is automatically sequenced and manually initiated.
Caustic soda is added to the discharge piping to the TT being flooded to achieve a desired
PH value of 10.
4.2.9.3.5 Solids Contact Reactors and Sludge Re-aeration Reactors
Under normal operation,the trickling filter effluent flows to the trickling filter effluent inlet
to the SCRs. RSS from the SRRs is blended with the trickling filter effluent in the trickling
filter effluent channels before distribution to the SCRs.Both sets of two SCRs and two SRRs,
located on each side of the north-south centerline of the plant,are operated independently.
This arrangement offers several operating schemes.
Solids Contact Reactors
The two SCR flow distribution gates are normally partially open for normal flows to
maintain good distribution at typical dry weather flows.Each trickling filter effluent
channel contains an ultrasonic level switch,and the partially open SCR inlet gates fully open
on high level in the associated trickling filter effluent channel. This condition may exist
during wet weather flows,or if one or more reactors is out of service. Flow leaving the SCRs
is controlled by weirs and launders,which are set at the water surface elevation of the SRRs
and SCRs.
The SCRs dissolved oxygen(DO)levels are controlled by a cascading control strategy. In
normal mode,the DO probe in each SCR provides data that indirectly allow the control
equipment to control the air fed to the flexible membrane fine bubble diffusers.The control
program modulates the air volumes for each SCR by adjusting its dedicated motorized
butterfly valve to satisfy the new flow setpoint.
The SCR has a single zone for DO control.Each mixed liquor channel also has two DO
probes (active/standby) in a common location that provide a similar control function for the
aeration header supplying the associated channel as described for the SCRs. The design DO
concentration for the SCRs is 1.0 mg/L,with the ability to control the DO to a concentration
as low as 0.5 mg/L,the limit for flocculation.This intention of such a low DO concentration

CONTENTS
is to discourage nitrifiers from developing,which add unnecessarily to the oxygen demand
in the aerated channels and reactors.
Certain zones(for example,the trickling filter effluent charnels)have air flowmeters and
motorized butterfly valves. However,they do not have DO probes for automatic control. In
these areas,valves modulate to achieve the flow setpoint through the flowmeter.
Additional control modes are available for those aeration zones provided with DO probes.
The DO probes can control the aeration air valves,or the system can operate the respective
zone at a constant air flow rate.
All control modes have a minimum air flow setpoint that represents the mixing threshold.
Regardless of DO reading,the air flow rate is not to be reduced below that value.This
minimum air flow rate threshold is entered for each drop leg provided with a flowmeter
and motorized butterfly valve.
Sludge Reaeralion Reactors
The RSS can be combined before it is distributed to the four SRRs,or the facility can be
operated as two parallel plants.The normal operation is to combine the RSS and distribute it
to all available SRRs,which is controlled by motorized inlet gates.Oxygen transfer is
controlled similar to that of the SCRs.
4.2.9.3.6 Secondary Clarifiers
Under normal operation,all six trickling filter clarifiers we in service.Flow is controlled by
modulated gates and cut throat flumes as it passes from the mixed liquor channels and
60-inch pipes to each clarifier's center feed well.
Settled solids enter a manifold at the bottom of the collector mechanism. Each trickling filter
clarifier has two dedicated variable-speed,solids-handling RSS pumps with a magnetic
flowmeter.The pumps withdraw sludge through a 24-inch-diameter suction pipe and
discharge into two common 36-inch manifolds that convey the flow back to the RSS control
structure at the northern end of the SCR.
During low-flow periods,trickling filter effluent is recirculated back to the pump station,as
needed, to maintain minimum wetting rates.The RSS pumps continue running at minimum
speed to allow constant recirculation through the clarifiers and SCRs/SRRs.Effluent
wastewater is collected by an inboard launder.
4.2.9.3.7 Solids Handline
Sludge Handling(RSS/INSS)Normal Operation
RSS pumps sump settled secondary solids from the clarifiers to the SRRs.Under normal
operation, the RSS from the east and west RSS pipelines is combined and distributed to the
SRRs.To control the SRT in the system,a portion of the sludge is pumped to the DAFTs by
the waste sludge pumps.
pn.\\QmAo\Acwrem\Ckm/CNOCSD'103391ONRhre Wb 0171.i.Pb.\ ap ,4 MDM 2017-P6,[ 2d 433
4.0 PLANT NO.2
The normal wasting point is the downstream end of the SRRs.With this,much of the short-
term variation in RSS solids concentration can be attenuated,making the wasting more
consistent. If the SRRs are being bypassed,an alternate wasting point is the common
channel between the two RSS pipe exits.
The process has three centrifugal solids that handle waste sludge pumps.The maximum
expected sludge wasting rate can be accommodated with two pumps operating at full speed
and one as a standby.The waste sludge pumps are normally operated in a
lead/lag/standby configuration,with variable output.The sludge wasting rate is a function
of the desired SRT based on manual control or the flow setpoint.
In automatic mode,the pumps are automatically sequenced on and off,and the pump speed
is varied to maintain a calculated flow setpoint.
Sludge Handling(RSS/WSS)Low Flow and High Flow Operation
During low-flow periods,aeration and RSS pumping are maintained to keep the sludge
aerobic,except that RSS pumping drops to minimum rates. Depending on the duration of
the condition,the waste sludge pumping may need to be adjusted to avoid over-wasting the
solids inventory.One way to accomplish this is to discontinue wasting if the MLSS value
falls below a preset minimum value.
During high-flow periods (wet weather flows) or when one or more SCRs out of service,
higher flow rates through the operating SCRs are necessary.Once the trickling filter effluent
channel level reaches a high-level setpoint,the SCR inlet gates in that channel open fully.
Once the high-flow condition clears,gates must be manually returned to their normal
positions.
Sludge Pump Control
Settled solids enter a manifold at the bottom of the collector mechanism. Each trickling filter
clarifier has two dedicated variable-speed solids-handling RSS pumps that withdraw sludge
and discharge into manifolds conveying the flow back to the RSS control structure at the
northern end of the SCR.
An automatic control mode for the RSS pumps adjusts the total RSS flow rate from each
clarifier to a fixed fraction of the flow rate passing through secondary treatment.This is
done with the pair of RSS pumps that have a magnetic flowmeter to pemut individual RSS
flow adjustment from each clarifier.Pumping at a minimum rate,while maintaining a small
sludge blanket,is important to keep the RSS at a maximum concentration,improving
performance and reducing energy costs.In addition,the controls allow for individually
adjusting the RSS flow rates from each clarifier to correct any imbalance in the solids
loading to individual units.
A portion of the sludge is wasted to the existing DAFTs to maintain a desired SRT in the
SCR.

Scum
Scum collects in a scum sump in the scum collection ring.Under normal operating
conditions,the trickling filter clarifier scum pumps are automatically controlled. Each pump
starts on high level and stops on low motor current.An additional scum pump is located at
the end of the mixed liquor channels. Each scum pump discharges into the common header
that contains a flowmeter and flows to the DAFTs or headworks.
4.2.9.3.8 Aeration Blowers
Two sets of blowers provide low-pressure air to the fine bubble diffusers in the SRRs,SCRs,
and associated channels.Both systems are designed to operate the system at a DO
concentration of 1.0 mg/L.
The SC blower system serves the SCRs,the west and east mixed liquor channels,and the
trickling filter effluent channels. This system consists of three centrifugal blowers that serve
the SRBs,the west and east RSS channels,and the RSS distribution channel.
The general description below applies to both the SRR and SCR aeration blower systems.
Blower operation is indirectly based on the air demand required to maintain a DO
concentration.Variable airflow demand within the aeration system will cause changes in the
supply air header pressure.To maintain constant supply air header pressure,the
modulating inlet air valves of the blower adjust airflow to the blowers.
A pressure controller controls the aeration air system pressure.This controller monitors all
aeration air-control valves to maintain system pressure at an optimal level.The intent is to
prevent an energy wasting condition where the aeration air blowers run on high pressure
while the associated aeration air-control valves close to decrease flow into the reactors and
channels.The ideal condition is for the system to operate with the minimum number of
machines online and with the aeration air-control valves operating at the upper end of their
usable control range.This condition prevents energy loss by operating against partially
closed valves.
The lead blower is started with the surge-control valve in the full open position and the inlet
au valve at the minimum open position. Once the blower has attained operating speed, the
surge-control valve closes and the inlet air valve is adjusted to the airflow requirements.
When the airflow demand exceeds the lead blower capacity,the lag blower is started.When
the lag blower is on-line,the two blowers provide system air as previously indicated,with
both inlet air valves operating in unison. When system airflow demand decreases below the
capacity of a single blower,the lag blower stops,and the lead blower continues to provide
air for the system.

X-031 Plant No.2 Trickling Filter Solids-Contact Rehabilitation
The TFSC facility will require rehabilitation in the next 20 years to maintain serviceability
and extend its useful life.This project will include structural and mechanical rehabilitation
to the trickling filters,contact and reaeration basins, secondary clarifiers,pump stations,
blower rooms,and storage facilities. Civil and mechanical piping rehabilitation will also
occur as needed.
X-050 Plant No.2 Activated Sludge Aeration Basin Rehabilitation
The aeration basin deck contains pervasive cracks and spalling and has caused rebar
exposure and corrosion.P2-118 will seal cracks and will repair corroded concrete and rebar.
However,structural rehabilitation will be required to extend structural life beyond 45 years.
Due to low pH in the reactor tank water, the interior of the reactor walls below water level
have experienced cement loss,exposing the concrete aggregate. As a result,the walls will
need repair.
By 2027,the reactors will be 44 years old,and the structural and mechanical components
will need rehabilitation to maintain reliable serviceability and to extend their useful life.
This project will perform structural rehabilitation of the deck and coat the interior of the
reactor tanks to mitigate exposed aggregate.All mechanical equipment and piping will be
replaced.
X-051 Plant No.2 Activated Sludge Clarifier Rehabilitation
The secondary clarifiers are nearing the end of their useful life and will need rehabilitation.
All clarifiers will need mechanical rehabilitation,which will include replacing all
mechanical components,inlet gates,and chain and flight collector systems(automation for
speed control may be desirable).The clarifier walls will also need structural rehabilitation
where cracking and surface corrosion occur.
X-052 Plant No.2 Activated Sludge RAS/WAS/PEPS/Vaporizers Rehabilitation
By 2027,most components of the Activated Sludge system,such as RAS,WAS,PEPS and
the vaporizers,will need structural,mechanical,and electrical rehabilitation. This includes
structural rehabilitation to the east and west side RAS/WAS pump stations and the PEPS
building.The liquid oxygen storage tanks will also need mechanical rehabilitation,and the
vaporizers will need to be replaced.The PEPS pumps will need rehabilitation or
replacement.

Fifteen belt filter presses are located in the Dewatering Building. The belt filter presses and
associated facilities will be demolished while new sludge dewatering centrifuges are being
installed under Project P2-92.
While the belt filter presses remain in operation, dewatered sludge will be transported from
the dewatering building to the Cake Transfer Station using belt conveyors.The conveyors
will transport the sludge to two 450-cubic yard storage bins.The cake will then be pumped
into the truck loading hopper prior to truck loading.
After completing the dewatering centrifuge system,cake transfer pumps will move
dewatered cake from the centrifuges to the two emsting storage bins.
The digester gas produced at Plant No.2 is collected in a 42-foot diameter cylindrical tank
similar to the low-pressure holding tank at Plant No. 1. Digester gas flows from the holder
to three digester gas compressors.
All digester gas produced is compressed and dried by a single refrigerant dryer.
The gas compressor building and the gas holder were completed in 1992.This facility is not
in compliance with current NFPA 820 requirements. Although the compressors were
recently rebuilt,replacement parts are becoming more difficult to find. The compressor
facility will be replaced under project J-124.

The existing digester gas flares were constructed and placed in service in 1992.The flares
dispose of excess digester gas pressurized by the gas compressors.The low-pressure system
does not have flares.
The five-mile long Interplant Gas Line connects the high-pressure gas systems of Plant No. 1
with those of Plant No.2.This provides temporary storage of digester gas,allows the gas
production to be split between the Cengen facilities at both plants,and buffers spikes in gas
production,reducing the need for flaring.
Another recent development affecting the flares involves AQMD Title V requirements,
which place stringent limits on overall gas emissions. Various situations can cause low-
pressure digester gas to vent,adding to those emissions.The main cause is failing gas
compressors.As part of J-124,low-pressure flares may be installed.
4.3.2 Operational Philosophy
Currently,solids produced in the treatment facilities are thickened,fed to single-stage
mesophilic anaerobic sludge digesters,dewatered with centrifuges,and then hauled off-site.
Plant No.2 does not co-thicken primary and secondary sludge.Rather,primary sludge is
thickened in the primary clarifiers,and secondary sludge (WAS and TFSC WSS sludge) is
thickened in the DAFfs.The thickened primary sludge is pumped from the primary
clarifiers to pump-mixed primary sludge blending tanks. Digester feed pumps then convey
primary sludge to the digester feed lines. Thickened waste activated sludge(TWAS)and
TFSC sludge are pumped separately from the DAFTs and fed to the digesters.
Plant No.2 currently use belt filter presses for dewatering,which will be replaced with
centrifuges under project P2-92.Biogas produced in the digesters is currency dried,
compressed,and used as fuel for electricity production in the plant's Cengen facility.Heat
produced in that process is used for digester heating and other needs.Excess gas is disposed
of by high-pressure flares.
Plant No.2 uses primary clarifiers for primary sludge thickening.Primary sludge is then fed

contents
Primary sludge from the three groups of primary clarifiers is blended in the Sludge
Blending Facility constructed by Project P2-91.This allows sludge from any primary clarifier
to reach any digester.
Plant No.2 uses a single-stage mesophilic anaerobic sludge digestion process. In general,as
the anaerobic digesters receive new feed sludge,digested sludge is displaced to digested
sludge holding tanks.The holding tanks provide liquid storage for the sludge dewatering
process.
Digested sludge from the anaerobic digesters is fed to the belt presses for dewatering.The
dewatered sludge is pumped to the truck loading facility to be hauled away for reuse.
Biogas produced in the digesters is currently dried,compressed,and used as fuel for
electricity production in the plant's Cengen facility. Heat produced in that process is used
for digester heating and other needs.High-pressure flares can dispose of excess gas that has
been compressed;the low-pressure systems do not have any flares.
4.3.3 Current Performance
Table 4-23 summarizes Plant No. 2's performance for flotation thickeners,primary sludge,
digested sludge,belt presses,biosolids hauling,and odor control.Performance data
represent belt filter press dewatering,since data for the dewatering centrifuges installed
under Project P2-92 are not yet available.

4.3.5 Planned Upgrades
This project will upgrade and rehabilitate the equipment that has approached the end of its
useful life.It will also improve any components in the facility necessary for Plant No.1 and
Plant No.2 Digester Gas facilities to operate as designed and continue to be a reliable fuel
1µ\\QmAo\Acwrem\Cl'era/CNOCSD'103391ONR bka2017 I.i.Pb.\ aap¢e 4 MDM 2017-P6n,N 2do 447
contents
supply for the Cengen Power Facilities. Lastly,the project will alleviate NFPA and
SCAQMD compliance issues.The Biosolids Master Plan(PS15-01)will recommend
technologies and project elements.
OCSD is implementing Project No.PS15-01,Biosolids Master Plan,to provide a roadmap
and framework for sustainable and cost-effective biosolids management options.The report
consists of multiple technical memoranda that evaluate existing OCSD solids handling
facilities and different treatment alternatives and make recommendations for future capital
facilities improvements.
The conceptual design for future digestion and food waste co-digestion facilities includes
the Temperature Phased Anaerobic Digestion(TPAD)processes,the ancillary TPAD
facilities,and food waste receiving facilities.The TPAD process includes the following
processes: six thermophilic digesters,six mesophilic digesters,two mesophilic holding
tanks,six thermophilic Class A batch tanks,a digester feed facility,and TPAD sludge
cooling.Ancillary facilities supporting TPAD operation include food waste receiving,
digester gas handling equipment,ferric chloride addition,hot water loop improvements,
and new steam boilers.With the interim and ultimate food waste facilities,source separated
organics could be received for co-digestion.
4.3.6 Criticality Table
The following information is taken from the Revised Criticality Table (2012)from the
original 2007 Energy Master Plan. Equipment in this process area generally falls into the
categories listed below,including the main process equipment and any supporting
equipment.
• Process Control:instrumentation,communications equipment,EOC,Ops Control
Center,SCADA,Air compressors,power supply transformers and panels assumed to
power instrumentation,SCADA,and communications equipment.
• Cengen: digester gas compressors.
• Sump Pumps
• Sludge Storage: dewatering units, digesters,solids handling pumps and conveyors,and
truck loading.
• Biosolids Quality:recirculation pumps,mixing pumps,grinders,and DAF equipment.
• Area Classification:ventilation Fans in areas classified as either"hazardous" or
"explosive."
• Odor Control: scrubber equipment,supply and exhaust fans,and chemical facilities.
• Administration/Maintenance:non-critical process lighting and HVAC,security,and
lights.
The main criticality categories affected by equipment in this process area are as follows.

CONTENTS
• Cengen-The gas compressors provide a fuel source for the Cengen engines.Assuming
that natural gas fuel was available,the loss of the gas compressors would not be critical
to Cengen.
• Air Quality Compliance-This category was not included in the 2005 Energy Master
Plan Criticality Tables,but is a new issue due to pending AQMD Title V requirements.
Venting of unburned digester gas can occur when the gas compressors are off-line.
• Biosolids Quality-Sludge mixing equipment(Grinders,sludge mixing pumps),and hot
water system equipment(boiler,water pumps) me needed to keep digesting sludge
from stratifying.
• Sludge Storage-Solids handling equipment in the dewatering and truck loading
facilities is needed to keep digested solids moving throughout system and to use the full
storage capacity of the storage and truck loading facilities.
4.4 Side Stream Nimagement
4.4.1 Overview
This section discusses the management of plant side streams.At Plant No.2,various waste
streams are routed back into the treatment process at multiple locations.The quantity and
characteristics of these streams must be accounted for to understand their impact on the
treatment process.
Side stream sources include the following:
• Process flows
• Building drains from sumps and equipment
• Process basin drains
• Surface and stormwater drainage to catch basins
Side streams vary in frequency (continuous,intermittent,or occasional),quantity,and
composition.Thus,understanding side streams is important for sizing the facilities that
convey flows,and for determining the process impacts related to their quantity and quality.
Side streams also may have regulatory or reporting impacts.
The side stream flows identified in this section will be reviewed and updated during the
Sanitation District's upcoming Stormwater Master Plan(Project No. P516-01),scheduled for
completion in 2017.Waste side stream pump station (WSSPS)capacities will also be
reviewed and updated,as required,under the stormwater master planning effort.
Plant No.2 major side streams are shown on Exhibit 4-11.Plant No.2 side stream sources
are shown in Table 4-25 at the end of this section.
4.4.2 Operational Philosophy
As side streams are generated,they are conveyed from their source point to their
destination by gravity,minor pumping facilities,or larger facilities like the WSSPSs.

4.4.3 Current Performance
There are no known problems with pumping capacity at the existing WSSPSs.
WSSPS-A is located adjacent to the dissolved air floatation thickeners(DAFTs)in a recessed
pump station below a pipe gallery.On several occasions,a pipe leak in the pipe gallery has
caused the WSSPS to flood,damaging equipment within the pump room,including motors
and electrical equipment associated with the pumps.
WSSPS-C takes low pH blowdown from the odor scrubber in the south wet well and high
pH from the chemical containment area,both of which corrode pumps,resulting in pump
failures.
The pump corrosion occurring at the WSSPS-C facility will be evaluated and addressed
during the upcoming Stormwater Master Plan effort,scheduled for completion in 2017.
Other items to be addressed during the upcoming Stormwater Master Plan effort include
verifying the Plant No.2 side stream list.
Side stream tables will be reviewed and updated,as required,under the stormwater master
planning effort.

4.4.4 Design Criteria
4.4.4.1.1 General
Plant No. 2 has six WSSPSs:WSSPS-A located adjacent to the DAFT-D below the Tremblay
Tunnel level,WSSPS-B located between Digesters H and N,WSSPS-C located north of Primary
Clarifier E between Billings and Lindstrom tunnels,WSSPS-D located west of Secondary
Clarifier L,WSSPS-E located north of Trickling Filter Clarifiers C and F,and WSSPS-F located in
the Hams and Carney Tunnels.
4.4.4.1.2 MSPS-A
WSSPS-A receives continuous flow from the area and floor drains in the DAFTs. Intermittent
flows come from the aeration basins,secondary clarifiers,and DAFTs when these units are
drained.WSSPS-A discharges to either Distribution Box C,which feeds PCs M through Q or to
the Secondary Clarifiers A through H at the AS Plant.An overflow to the Coast Trunk Sewer is
also available,which conveys the flows to the headworks. The major components for WSSPS-A
are listed in Table 4-26.

will be routed to new non-reclaimable primary clarifiers.
4.5 Effluent Disinfection
4.5.1 Overview
During the summer of 1999, stretches of Orange County beaches were closed due to
elevated levels of fecal indicator bacteria. In response,OCSD and numerous other
organizations conducted extensive studies to determine the source of this contamination.
These studies found several potential sources,including birds,Talbert Marsh and the Santa
Ana River discharge,and groundwater contamination.A trunk line near the coast and the
effluent plume discharging from OCSD's five-mile outfall were also investigated,but were
not found to contribute sources of bacterial contamination.However,to be proactive and
protect public health,OCSD began disinfecting its final effluent in 2002 using chlorine at
both treatment plants as a temporary measure to eliminate any uncertainty.
In 2006,OCSD observed degradation of marine life new the ocean outfall.Staff conducted
10 individual studies targeting potential causes for these observed effects. Results showed
that OCSD's use of chlorine for ocean outfall disinfection highly correlated with the
observed effects and was therefore the likely cause of the decline in biological communities
near the outfall.
In addition,staff performed a historical analysis using the most recent 14 years (1992-2005)
of bacterial data from beaches monitored by OCSD.This was done to assess whether public
health protection had improved since disinfecting its ocean discharge.
The results from this assessment showed that disinfecting OCSD wastewater at a cost of
$4.18 million dollars over the 14-year period had no measurable public health benefit.
Regardless of disinfection,bacteria concentrations did not change significantly,either
temporally or spatially,at Orange County beaches.
A 2008 review of OCSD's disinfection practices by a nine-member independent panel of
experts organized by the National Water Research Institute recommended evaluating the
need for disinfection once full secondary treatment was achieved.With full secondary
treatment in place,these studies indicated that no public health benefit was gained,and that
there were negative impacts to the biological community new OCSD's ocean outfall,and

4.0 PLANT NO.2
going forward with disinfection would cost OCSD ratepayers approximately$500,000
annually.
Since 2012,with full secondary treatment in place,OCSD no longer discharges primary
effluent to the ocean,except under emergency conditions.On March 17,2015,OCSD
received approval from the USEPA and Santa Ana RWQCB to stop disinfection.
Subsequently,since March 2015,OCSD no longer disinfects effluent to the ocean.
Disinfection(and dechlorination)is needed only if the one-mile short outfall is used under
emergency conditions.
These effluent disinfection operational changes will be addressed in OCSD's revised NPDES
Permit(CA0110604),for which the application is currently under development while this
FMP is being developed.The following paragraphs describe the effluent disinfection
process under emergency conditions.
This process adds sodium hypochlorite(bleach,or NaOCI) to the wastewater to destroy
fecal coliform and other disease-carrying microorganisms. It then adds sodium bisulfite
(NaHSO3) to dechlorinate the wastewater and eliminate the impact of sodium hypochlorite
in the ocean.
Sodium hypochlorite and other disinfectants are also added to the treatment process for
other purposes,such as for disinfection plant water,foam control,and odor control.These
topics are discussed in other sections.
The chlorination and dechlorination systems are automated. Chlorine residual is monitored
at select points along the treatment train. These systems we considered essential facilities for
emergency use and must be maintained so they can remain in operation at any time.

Chemical Flowmeters
One Sparling TIGERMAG magnetic flowmeter (27GFE331)measures the feed rate to all the
sodium bisulfite feed points.When disinfection is in service,sodium bisulfite would
typically be fed one feed point at a time only.
Chlorine Residual and Dechlorination Analyzers
The Sodium Bisulfite Station operates in conjunction with one chlorine residual analyzer
(27GAIT338)located at the OOBS wet well,and three dechlorination analyzers (27GAIT342,
27GAIT 346,and 27GAIT356).Two dechlorination analyzers are located on the 120-inch
above-grade OOBS discharge pipe just south of the Sodium Bisulfite Station,and one is
located at the north surge tower.The chlorine residual analyzer at the OOBS wet wen
measures the chlorine residual from the combined Plant No. 1 and No. 2 effluent at the
OOBS wet well.
Each chlorine analyzer system has a residual analyzer, sample pump,and automatic
cleaning system.The chlorine residual and dechlorination analyzers are Wallace and
Tiernan models Micro-2000 and DEOX 2000,respectively.
Chemical Piping
Suction and discharge piping is CPVC An suction and discharge piping,except the buried
piping,are heat traced to reduce the potential for the sodium bisulfite to crystalize at lower
temperatures.The heat tracing system is designed to maintain a temperature range that
decreases crystallization.The heat trace insulation surrounding the piping offers additional
shielding in case of a pipe leak.
4.5.3 Operational Philosophy
Since OCSD no longer conducts effluent disinfection except under emergency conditions,its
NPDES Permit(CA0110604)is being revised to reflect the new operational requirement.
This section describes the operational philosophy for effluent disinfection under emergency
conditions or as otherwise required to meet specific plant operational needs.
If emergency conditions arise and the existing short outfall is used,all wastewater sent to
the ocean will be disinfected prior to disposal.Total coliform,fecal coliform,and enterococci
bacteria will be monitored,based on a 30-day geometric mean value,for compliance with
the AB 411 standards for beach sanitation.The maximum values for compliance are as
follows:
• Total Coliform Bacteria<MPN 1,000/100 mL after initial dilution(180:1).
• Fecal Conform<200 MPN/100 mL after initial dilution(180:1).
• Enterococcus<35 MPN/100 mL after initial dilution(180:1).
Sodium hypochlorite is added to the wastewater to destroy fecal coliform and other disease-
carrying microorganisms.Sodium bisulfite is then added to dechlorinate the wastewater

Marine Aquatic Life.
While the NPDES standards apply to bacterial levels in the ocean, the operational
philosophy is to maintain the bacterial level in the plant that corresponds to the target level
in the ocean. This correlation was developed through an extensive testing effort.
The effectiveness of a disinfection system using bleach depends on the quality
characteristics of the liquid being treated,dosage,mixing,and contact time.For the
disinfection system at Plant No.2,bleach can be fed to the primary influent and to the
secondary effluent streams. Higher dosing rates are required for the lower quality
wastewater.
Also affecting the proper dosage and contact time is the appropriate mixing level.Generally,
the higher the level of mixing,the less contact time is needed. The feed points for the
disinfection systems at Plant No.2 have adequate mixing due to downstream weirs,
junction boxes,and other features,which create turbulence.
The bleach facilities typically feed 12.5 percent sodium hypochlorite.The bleach pumps can
be operated in one of three modes: constant speed,constant feed rate,or constant dosage in
the wastewater.The normal operation is to provide a constant dosage in the wastewater.
This mode,called"cascade" or"flow paced," matches the desired dosage to the wastewater
flow rate.
Multiple feed points are provided for operational flexibility,but under normal operation,
only one feed point is active at a time.The feed system cannot control the amount of
chemical fed at multiple feed points.The residual analyzer sensors initiate an alarm at low
(1 mg/L) and high(5 mg/L)chlorine levels and do not affect dosage trimming or pump
control.
The suction valves on the chemical tanks may be operated locally or remotely.Normally,
only one tank will be open at any one time. The levels in the tanks will generate alarms at
various level settings.
In the sodium bisulfite facilities,disinfected effluent is dechlorinated prior to discharge
through OCSD's ocean outfall system. The operational goal of the dechlorination system is
to remove the chlorine residual resulting from the disinfection process.The Plant No.2

between the sodium bisulfite and chlorine is instantaneous. However,contact must occur
for the reaction to take place.As such,good mixing is essential for dechlorination.
Dechlorination of Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 chlorinated effluent is accomplished at the
Plant No.2 OOBS and EPSA. Sodium bisuffite is fed into the OOBS wet well where effluent
from Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 co-mingles.The OOBS pumps,which pump treated
effluent out to the ocean outfall,provide the needed mixing. Sodium bisulfite is also fed into
the EPSA primary and secondary wet wells and the 102-inch pipeline from the Secondary
Junction Box.
The sodium bisulfite facility typically feeds 25 percent sodium bisulfite. The sodium
bisulfite pumps can be operated in one of three modes: constant speed,constant feed rate,or
constant dosage in the wastewater. The normal operation is to provide a constant dosage in
the wastewater.This mode,called"cascade" or"flow paced," matches the desired dosage to
the wastewater flow rate.
The chlorine residual concentration is the residual before chlorinating the combined
disinfected effluent from Plant No.1 and No. 2.This is a predicted value input by the
operator. In the future,this value may be automatically input from the chlorine residual
analyzer at the OOBS wet well.
The dechlorination analyzers at the 1204nch pipeline and surge tower measure the chlorine
residual after sodium bisulfite addition.The chlorine residual analyzer initiate alarms at low
(1 mg/L) and high(5 mg/L)chlorine residual levels and are not used for dosage trimming
or pump process control.The dechlorination analyzers also initiate alarm at low and high
levels.
The suction valves on the chemical tanks may be operated locally or remotely.Normally,
only one tank will be open at a time.The levels in the tanks will generate alarms at various
level settings.
4.5.4 Current Performance
As described in the overview,OCSD no longer conducts effluent disinfection except under
emergency conditions.
Because effluent disinfection ceased in March 2015 and will be required only under
emergency conditions,the projected chemical use for Plant No.2 effluent disinfection
operations is zero.However,historical sodium hypochlorite and sodium bisulfite usage at
Plant No.2 for effluent disinfection operations has averaged approximately 447,000 and
25,100 gallons per month,respectively.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
OCSD operations staff should maintain a sufficient quantity of chemical on site for routine
plant water disinfection operations and emergency effluent disinfection.The following
assumptions were also considered in these projections:
• No disinfection of GWRS brine discharges will be needed.
• No disinfection will be needed for primary influent or secondary effluent.

4.5.6 Planned Upgrades
Project No. P2-98,Primary Treatment Rehabilitation at Plant No.2,is currently in the design
phase.Project No.P2-110,Consolidated Demolition and Utility Improvements at Plant No.
2,is in the early stages of construction.To make room for planned facilities,the existing
Bleach Station at Plant No. 2 will be demolished under Project P2-98 and incorporated into
chemical facilities for the A-Side Primary Clarifier Odor Control.
In addition,the 2009 Facilities Master Plan noted that the proximity of the EPSA bleach feed
point is close to the bleach feed point at the AS plant effluent channel (much closer than the
COBS).The shorter detention time requires a higher dose,releases bleach into the air,and
causes difficulty with meeting bacteria requirements.Some improvement to bleach addition
or mixing may be needed and could be evaluated under the bleach station modification
proposed for Job No.P2-98.

4.6 Oatfall Facilities
4.6.1 Overview
This section discusses the OCSD Ocean Outfall System(Outfall System)serving Plant No. 1
and Plant No.2.All treated effluent is used for reclamation or plant process needs or is
disposed of through the Outfall System.The Plant No. 2 Ocean Outfall Facilities index map
and details are shown on Exhibit 4-21.
The Outfall System is located at Plant No.2 and serves both plants. Under normal
operations,the effluent is pumped to a surge tower and flows by gravity through an outfall
pipe into the Pacific Ocean. Overflow weirs to the Santa Ana River are available for
emergency use.
Facilities involved with effluent disposal are listed in Table 4-39.Some facilities are covered
in other sections and are included here for reference only.Recommendations for those
facilities are included in their respective sections.

4.6.1.1.1 OCWD Reclamation Facilities (GWRS and GAP)
The OCWD owns and operates two facilities that use OCSD secondary effluent for
reclamation.The Ground Water Replenishment System(GWRS)treats secondary effluent to
drinking water standards for groundwater recharge.The Green Acres Project(GAP)
provides recycled water for irrigation and industrial uses. Influent to these facilities is
provided to the OCWD screening facility at Plant No.1.
Both the GWRS and GAP have significant return streams to Plant No.1, such as MF
backwash and RO concentrate.The effective combined outfall relief capacity for the existing
GWRS(Initial Expansion) and GAP is 100 mgd to 107.5 mgd depending on the demands
from the OCWD reclaimed water system. During high flow events (i.e.,under PW WF),
OCWD can discharge 100 mgd to the Santa Ana River to increase outfall relief capacity,if
OCSD requests it(see Table 4-40).

GWRS Product Water 100 100 130 0
OCWD Discharge to Santa Ana River 0 0 0 100
Total Outfall Relief 107.5 100 137.5 100
The GAP facility can produce 7.5 mgd of reclaimed water.The GWRS system can produce
100 mgd of product water through the combined mfcrofiltration(MF),reverse osmosis (RO),
and UV disinfection processes.This gives the OCWD GAP and GWRS a combined capacity
of 107.5 mgd.
During the winter,OCWD facilities do not feed the reclaimed water system due to low
demand and agreements with IRWD.This reduces the effective outfall relief to 100 mgd.
During a high flow event,OCWD can temporarily modify the GWRS process to increase
outfall relief,which involves bypassing the RO process.Water is treated by the MF and UV
processes and discharged to the Santa Ana River.PW WF events are assumed to occur
during the winter when GAP would be off-line.
The layout of the OCWD facilities was designed to provide GWRS with an ultimate
production capacity of 130 mgd.
These facilities are discussed in more detail in Chapter 6.
Three pipelines(66-inch,84-inch,and 120-inch)were designed to carry treated effluent from
Plant No.1 to the outfall facilities at Plant No. 2 in the Santa Ana River right-of-way.These
interplant effluent pipelines are discussed in Chapter 5.

A motor cooling issue exists with the EPSA Pumps that restricts the lower end of their speed
range to approximately 65 percent of the speed.The implications of this restriction are
outlined in Technical Memorandum 1,Project J-117B.
OCSD operates two outfalls: a 120-inch pipe and an older 78-inch pipeline.The 120-inch
outfall pipeline discharges approximately 5 miles offshore and serves as the primary outfall
used during normal operations.The 78-inch outfall discharges approximately 1 mile
offshore and is used only under special circumstances.The last section of each outfall has
diffusers that disperse the effluent uniformly throughout an extended area.End gates at the

end of the outfalls maintain pressure on the diffuser ports to disperse the effluent uniformly
throughout the diffusion zone.
Surge towers provide a buffer between the pumping facilities and the outfalls. They protect
the outfalls from water pressure transients,limit the pressure on the outfalls,and provide
some operational efficiency.The major components are shown in Table 4-43.

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) Permit specifies that"the
discharge of wastewater at locations other than Discharge Point 001 (120-inch outfall) is
prohibited,except in the event of an emergency,or to allow bypass to occur which does not
cause effluent limitations to be exceeded during essential maintenance to assure efficient
operation of the 120-inch outfall." The permit defines an emergency as a circumstance that
precludes discharging all wastewater to the 120-inch outfall despite proper operations and
maintenance of OCSD facilities.
The 120-inch outfall was designed for a peak flow of 480 mgd.However, depending on the
tide level,it has reportedly discharged up to 550 mgd. The actual hydraulic capacity of the
outfalls varies according to the tide level and the roughness coefficient of the pipeline.
In January 2017,during a large storm event,503 mgd was reportedly discharged though the
long outfall.
Under Job No.J-112B,the Beach Box along the primary outfall(Discharge Point 001) was
taken out of service as the outfall was piped through the box.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
The Outfall System has two overflow weirs at Plant No.2 used only during extreme
emergencies. The NPDES Permit considers both weirs to be one facility referred to as
"Discharge Serial No.003."Major components are shown in Table 4-44.

Two 66-inch pipes Two 72-inch pipes
Discharge Location Santa Ana River Santa Ana River
The Santa Ana River is estimated to have an elevation of 15.7 feet when flowing at
maximum capacity at the Pacific Coast Highway Bridge. As a result,overflow capacity may
not be available at high river flows.Flap gates are installed on the overflow lines to prevent
flood waters from entering Plant No.2 through the Outfall System.
Various pipelines connect process area flows to the Outfall system.This includes secondary
effluent feeds from secondary treatment facilities,overflow pipelines from primary facilities,
and pipelines interconnecting the OOBS and EPSA.
Project J-77(EPSA)replaced three effluent pipes with one large 144-inch pipe to allow flow
between OOBS and EPSA.The design capacity is 480 mgd.The design also ensures that the
suction piping can deliver the full flow the 120-inch outfall can handle.This line also
contains the inlet junction box for the Plant No. 2 Plant Water Pumping Station.
The Final Effluent Sampler Building tests the water quality of effluent flows being
discharged from the site through the ocean outfall.Project J-110,completed in 2016,replaced
the existing Effluent Sampling Trailer with a permanent Effluent Sampling Building.The
project also installed three new pumps dedicated to sampling the Long Ocean Outfall and
repurposed the two existing sampler pumps to sample effluent sent to the Short Ocean
Outfall. To ensure redundancy, one of the three pumps installed on the Long Ocean Outfall
is a pneumatic-type pump if an extended power outage occurs.
4.6.2 Operational Philosophy
The operational philosophy for the Outfall System involves the ocean disposal of treated
effluent in accordance with the NPDES Permit.This includes the following considerations:
• Meeting the effluent quality requirements of the NPDES Permit.
• Using no outfall other than the primary (120-inch) outfall during normal dry weather
operation.
• Possibly using the 78-inch outfall during high-flow events,which is not anticipated to
occur more than once every three years.
478 pn.\Ykm6iVMwremn`,Ctiem/CNOCSD'103}9FOON:Menbka/N17 h .,P6n\Qa 40SDFW W17-Plain No.id
4.0 PLANT NO.2
• Using any and all available outfalls under emergency conditions,after emergency
storage is filled.
Currently,discharging wastewater to any facility other than the 120-inch diameter ocean
outfall (Discharge Serial No.001)is prohibited,except during an emergency,as specified in
the OCSD NPDES permit issued by the CRWQCB.This permit defines an emergency as a
circumstance that precludes discharging all wastewater to the 120-inch diameter ocean
outfall despite proper operation and maintenance of OCSD facilities.These types of
emergencies are limited to situations such as earthquake,flood,and acts of war or terrorism.
During an emergency,OCSD may discharge other than as required by the terms of the
NPDES permit with the following provisions:
• The Regional Water Board Executive Officer and the USEPA Water Division Director are
notified of the pending discharge as soon as possible.
• The Executive Officer and Water Division Director agree that an emergency exists.
• The Discharger takes all steps required by the Executive Officer or Water Division
Director to minimize any harm resulting from the discharge.
• Discharges to OCWD's water recycling facilities will be maximized before wastewater is
discharged to the 78-inch outfall(Discharge Serial No. 002).
• Discharges through the 78-inch outfall will be maximized before wastewater is
discharged through Discharge Point 003 (two overflow points to the Santa Ana River).
• The Discharger returns the discharge to compliance with the terms of the permit without
delay.
The OCSD Five-Year Strategic Plan (OCSD,2007a) includes an LOS target for using the
78-inch outfall under"wastewater management levels of service,frequency of use of
emergency one-mile(78-inch diameter) outfall."According to this target,the 78-inch outfall
would be used less than once every three years and would occur only during PW WF
conditions.The current OCSD Five-Year Strategic Plan (OCSD,2013) includes an LOS target
for unplanned use of the 78-inch outfall during dry weather zero times per year.
The 120-inch outfall was designed to safely discharge primary effluent to the ocean based on
provisions in Section 301(h) of the Clean Water Act.These provisions are as follows:
• High dilution of the effluent with ocean water.
• Precipitation of the bacteria to the ocean floor.
• Natural mortality of the colifonn bacteria in ocean water.
• Submergence of the diluted effluent field during most of the year at a distance from the
shore and a depth sufficient to prevent it or any significant portion of it from reaching
the nearshore waters.
According to the 2009 Facilities Master Plan,after December 31,2012,only secondary
effluent is permitted to be discharged from the ocean outfall except under an extreme
pn.\\QmAo\Acwrem\Ckm/CNOCSD'10339PD@'Rtire Wb 017I. .Plaa\Cfiap¢e 4 MDM 2017-P§n 2da 4N

emergency as outlined in the Clean Water Act.That objective was realized ahead of
schedule with the commissioning of Project P2-90 Trickling Filters at Plant No.2 in the
summer of 2011 and the subsequent process acceptance testing in late 2011 and early 2012.
The NPDES permit requires that effluent discharges from OCSD's treatment facilities meet
specific bacteriological standards.The new NPDES permit(Permit No. CA 0110604,Order
No.R8-2012-0035)became effective on June 20,2012.This NPDES permit refers to the
120-inch outfall as Discharge Serial No.001,the 78-inch outfall as Discharge Serial No.002,
and the Santa Ana River Overflow Weirs as Discharge Serial No.003.

4.6.3 Current Performance
Table 4-46 summarizes the performance of the Ocean Outfall pumping system for FY 2014-
2015. The OCSD 5-Year Strategic Plan(OCSD,2013)identified a strategic goal to"develop
an implementation plan including the technical,financial and societal factors associated
with the cessation of disinfection of the ocean discharge." Disinfection under normal
conditions (i.e.,discharge only to the long outfall)was discontinued in July 2015.
Disinfection(chlorination and dechlorination)is still required during emergency conditions
when discharging to the short outfall.

By implementing the new LOFLO PS,the operational philosophy for the OOBS and EPSA
will be modified to function with the new station.The OOBS and EPSA will have the
following four normal modes of operation:
• Mode 1: Operation of the LOFLO PS in fill and draw mode(<20 mgd).
• Mode 2: Operation of the LOFLO PS in variable-speed mode to maintain a wet well
level setpoint(20 mgd to 120 mgd).
• Mode 3: Operation of LOFLO PS in conjunction with a single GOBS Pump (120 mgd to
220 mgd).
• Mode 4: Operation of the OOBS and EPSA(220 mgd to 710 mgd).
4.6.5 Planned Upgrades
This project,currently in design,will involve demolishing Storage Basins A,B,and C,which
provide limited emergency storage of effluent.This project involves rehabilitating the 84-
inch and 120-inch interplant pipelines in the Santa Ana River levee between Plant No. 1 and
Plant No.2 and rehabilitating the OOBS junction structures.
This project involves constructing a new low-flow pump station to pump effluent to the
outfall(LOFLO PS) and rehabilitating the OOBS facility.Major components of this contract
are described in earlier sections.
This project also involves constructing a new plant water pump station.This station is
anticipated to be integrated as one structure.
This study,completed in 2016,provided a comprehensive assessment of the feasibility of
recycling treated wastewater from Plant No.2 and the conveyance system requirements
needed to support the GWRS Final Expansion to achieve OCSD's vision of recycling 100
percent of reclaimable flow.
By implementing the recommendations provided in SP-173,a portion of the flows currently
being discharged through the ocean outfall will be sent to OCWD for recycling,reducing
flows being sent to the outfall.
4.7 Odor Control
4.7.1 Overview
Odor control efforts in the plants consist primarily of chemical additions at off-site locations
in the collections system to reduce odorants from forming in the incoming sewer pipes.
Odor control also consists of covering odor-causing plant processes,providing appropriate

4.7.3 Plant Odor Complaint Response
In spite of OCSD odor control efforts,the public in neighborhoods surrounding Plant No.2
have sent complaints to the Control Center at Plant No.1,as shown in Table 4-50.In
response,staff investigates each complaint and the possible odor source.Eight locations for
possible sources were identified around Plant No.2 in FY 2014-15.
OCSD has always strived to be a good neighbor to the surrounding communities and thus
developed a 5-year Strategic Plan in 2015 that calls for zero odor incidents and events under
normal operating conditions at both Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
OCSD initiated Project No.SP-166,the OCMP,to analyze odor data from the plants,
determine which odorants actually cause odor complaints,assess the nuisance level for
those odorants,run air dispersion models to determine the extent of odorous impacts,and
analyze foul air scrubbing technologies and appropriate combinations of technologies to
mitigate odor impacts in the vicinity of the Plants No.1 and No.2.
The OCMP was completed in two phases: Phase I focused on determining the existing
odorants and their level of nuisance at all key source locations,and Phase II focused on air
dispersion modeling,technology evaluation,and mitigation measures.
The OCMP successfully addressed nuisance odors at both Plant No.1 and Plant No. 2 from
a unique and more comprehensive perspective than traditional efforts,which historically
focused on H2S or D/T alone.As a result,nine of the"most detectable' odorants were
identified throughout plant facilities.Not all nine odorants exist at all locations,but they do
exist at different proportions,giving the various odors characteristic to each plant process
area. See Table 3 48.

OCSD completed the air dispersion modeling of identified odorants as part of the OCMP,
which determined the target odorants and their removal goals at various odorous plant
process areas at both plants.The odor modeling results also identified processes currently in
open air and may require enclosures to meet the level of service goal set by the Board.These
results help to better understand the odors generated from various processes and to reduce
odors through process optimization and capital improvement design projects.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
The OCMP has shown that the efficiency of the original chemical scrubbers,even operated
at different modes,does not reduce odor impacts enough to meet OCSD good neighbor
policy.The original chemical scrubbers target mainly hydrogen sulfide,and numerous other
odorants cause odors that need to be abated from the foul air,as shown in Table 3-47.
The OCMP evaluated odor treatment technologies based on the following three mitigation
levels:
a) Mitigation Level 1-Existing System.
b) Mitigation Level 2-Best single stage technology.
c) Mitigation Level 3-Best multistage technology.
All mitigation alternatives were selected to meet required off-site nuisance limits and plant
space limitations. Table 3-49 shows the location dilution factors,target odorants and their
removal target,and the recommended odor treatment technologies for the three mitigation
levels for each odorous process area.
Note that since the odor sampling and the subsequent air dispersion modeling(based on the
sampling results),new odor control systems have been installed or are being designed or
installed at both plants.Although the OCMP recommended technologies that will remove
identified odorants,additional sampling and air dispersion modeling will be needed while
future odor control facilities are being designed.

4.9.1 Overview
The Central Generation System(Cengen) is one of three power supply sources that produce
electricity for process equipment and other uses throughout the plant.Plant No. 2 has dedicated
engine generators that operate on digester gas/natural gas. Cengen engines and capacities at
Plant No.2 are listed in Table 4-58.
The Cengen engines have emission controls to meet the latest South Coast Air Quality
Management District(SCAQMD) air quality requirements.With these controls,they can
produce power with natural gas,high-pressure digester gas,or a combination of both.

Note:kW—kilowatt(s)
Digester gas produced in the Plant No. 2 digesters is compressed,dried,and used as fuel in
engine-generators at the Cengen facility to produce electric power.Surplus digester gas is
disposed of through waste gas flares on the high-pressure side of the digester gas system.A
low-pressure gas holder is used to store digester gas at low pressures.
The primary function of the engine generators is to produce electricity;however,to maximize
returns from the engines,heat recovery systems are installed on the engine exhaust and engine
jacket water system and are used for digester heating and building heating.Figure 4-3
illustrates the different heart recovery loops associated with Cengen at Plant No.2.
Heat recovered from the exhaust of the engine generators produces steam at pressures as high
as 125 pounds per square inch gauge(psig) to generate electricity in a steam turbine generator.
Steam boilers,fueled by digester gas or natural gas,produce steam to supplement heating of the
digesters.Supplemental steam transfers heat from the steam generated in the steam boiler to the
heating water system.In addition to the above uses,part of the steam is used for maintenance
activities such as cleaning grease from sludge piping.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
FIGURE 4-3
Plant No.2 Cengen Heat Recovery mops Schematic
The Interplant Gas Pipeline,which connects Plant No.1 and Plant No. 2,was rehabilitated
under the J-106 project.With this pipeline,Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2 can share gas and have
operational flexibility for managing digester gas to fuel the Cengen facilities at both plants.
The Interplant Gas Pipeline also provides a buffer to cushion spikes in gas production that
would cause flaring.
4.9.2 Operational Philosophy
OCSD's approach to managing its power supply is shaped by the following goals:
• Minimizing costs.
• Providing reliable power to meet process requirements.
• Maintaining compliance with air quality regulations.
Salient features of OCSD's operational philosophy are summarized below.
The costs to produce power and heat from the Cengen facility include new capital,
rehabilitation,operation,maintenance,fuel purchase costs for natural gas,cleaning costs for
digester gas,and costs for emissions controls.
The cost of power imported from Southern California Edison(SCE)is based on the tim"f-use
(TOD)tariff with SCE.The rate varies according to the season,day of week,and time of day.
In general,producing power in the Cengen facility from digester gas is the least expensive
power available to OCSD.However,the supply of digester gas is limited,and additional power
must be either imported from SCE or generated using imported natural gas.Due to the high
cost of natural gas,producing power with natural gas is only cost-effective in the highest SCE
rate periods(summer peak),which account for six percent of the hours in a year.
The new process equipment constructed between 2007 and 2012 has greatly increased the
power demand.The cost to provide power has also increased accordingly.
The 2007 OCSD Energy Master Plan(Energy Master Plan) evaluated the criticality of the plant
process equipment.Equipment was identified according to both the process impact of that
equipment being out of service and the duration of outage required to cause the impact.Risks
were evaluated according to the probability of power outages occurring at various flow
scenarios,including the peak dry weather flow(PDWF) and the peak wet weather flow
(PW WF).
Plant No. 2 has a single 66-kV feed that has historically been a reliable power supply.
The Cengen facility increases reliability by providing a redundant power supply to the SCE
feeds.Cengen is continuously staffed locally or remotely and provides fuel redundancy
through the digester gas produced onsite and imports natural gas.
pv\\QmbUbcwrema\C1emMNOLSD'16339bbRMenbles2011"SwrPYn\Ompzr4 MDR,FW]-Phm W.2. o 493
4.0 PLANT NO.2
Diesel standby generators can be operated only during power outages,except for limited hours
for maintenance and testing.These generators increase reliability by providing a redundant
power source that operates independently of the SCE and Cengen systems and has its own
independent fuel supply(diesel).
Plant No. 1 and No.2 are within the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management
District(SCAQMD),which established regulations to reduce and control air emissions from
combustion sources,such as the Cengen engines.In February 2008,SCAQMD amended Rule
1110.2,lowering the emission limits for nitrogen oxides (NOx),volatile organic compounds
(VC-Cs),and carbon monoxide(CO) from internal combustion engines.
Through Rules 1401 and 1402,the SCAQMD also established acceptable health risk levels for
new individually permitted equipment(1401) and plantwide facilities (1402).These rules
specify limits for maximum individual cancer risk and non-cancer health hazards from toxic air
emissions.
In 2016,OCSD completed Project J-111,which equipped the Cengen engines at both plants with
emission control systems(catalytic oxidizer/selective catalytic reduction system with digester
gas cleaning systems) to comply with the SCAQMD rules.
Electrical use by month for Fiscal Year(FY)2015-16 is shown in Table 2-2. Natural gas use by month for

4.10 Power Supply and Heating
4.11.1 Overview
Electricity needed to power treatment processes and other equipment is purchased from
SCE and generated from the Cengen engines.During a power outage, standby generators
provide power to water-in/water-out processes.The Cengen engines produce electricity
and heat from burning digester gas or natural gas.Boilers produce supplemental heat and
steam with the following uses:
• Hot water is used for digester heating and building heating.
• Steam is used to create chilled water for building cooling and digester gas drying.
• Steam is used for maintenance activities such as cleaning grease from sludge piping.
Standby generators are discussed in Section 4.13.Flares are discussed in Section 4.4.
The SCE service to Plant No.2 is a single 66-kV feed.SCE is performing a method of service
study(MOS) to determine the feasibility of installing a redundant 66-Kv feed to Plant No.2.
The MOS will also provide alternatives,costs,and schedules.
The Plant No.2 Cengen facility is similar to the Plant No.1 facility except that the steam
produced from heat recovery is used by a 1,000-kW steam turbine generator.This is
described further in Section 4.10.
Refer to Section 4.4 and 4.10.
The Plant No.2 heat recovery system is shown on Exhibit 4-20.Heat recovered from the
jacket cooling water of the engine-generators is used for digester heating.Heat recovered
from the exhaust of the engine-generators produces steam at pressures up to 125 psig to
generate electricity in a steam turbine generator.Steam boilers,fueled by digester gas or
natural gas,produce steam to supplement heating of the digesters.Supplemental steam
transfers heat from the steam generated in the steam boiler to the heating water system.
4.10.2 Operational Philosophy
OCSD's approach to managing its power supply is shaped by the following goals:
• Minimizing costs.
• Providing reliable power to meet process requirements.
• Maintaining compliance with air quality restrictions.
These goals are summarized below and we discussed in detail in the 2007 OCSD Energy
Master Plan.
The new process equipment being constructed at the dewatering centrifuge building will
increase the power demand,which will increase the cost to provide power.The cost to truck
solids,however,will decrease since the dewatered sludge will be drier.Upcoming pump
station projects may offset some of the increases in electricity demand as more efficient
effluent pumping is installed.

4.0 PLANT NO. 2
The 2007 OCSD Energy Master Plan(Energy Master Plan)evaluated the criticality of the
plant process equipment Equipment was identified according to the process impact of that
equipment being out of service and the duration of outage required to cause the impact.
Risks were evaluated according to the probability of power outages occurring at various
flow scenarios,including the peak daily flow (PDWF) and the peak wet weather flow
(PW WF).
Plant No.1 and No.2 SCE power supplies have been very reliable because the 66-kV power
supplies connect to the SCE grid at a higher voltage.SCE typically has a very high reliability
rate as evidenced by the area SAIDI and SAIDI rankings.
The Cengen facilities at both plants increase reliability by providing a redundant power
supply to the SCE feeds. Cengen facilities are continuously staffed and have historically
been subject to disruptions associated with disruptions in the SCE feeds.Cengen provides
fuel redundancy through the digester gas produced onsite and imports natural gas.
Diesel standby generators can be operated only during power outages,except for limited
hours for maintenance and testing.They increase reliability by providing a redundant
power source that operates independent of the SCE and Cengen systems. The standby
generators are fueled by a redundant fuel supply(diesel).
SCAQMD Rule 1110.2 specifically limits the emissions from the Cengen engines.SCAQMD
Rules 1401 and 1402 apply to plantwide emissions,of which Cengen is the biggest source of
contaminants.The Cengen engines at Plant No. 1 and No.2 were recently equipped with
emission systems under J-111 to comply with the latest emission requirements.

respectively.
4.10.5 Planned Upgrades
Plant No. 2 has a single 66-kV feed from SCE. Having a second 66-kV feed will improve plant
reliability by providing a third power source to the plant,with the other two sources being the
existing 66-kV feed and the CenGen generators.SCE is performing a method of service study
(MOS) to determine the feasibility of installing a redundant 66-kV feed to Plant No.2.The MOS
will also provide alternatives,costs,and schedules.
4.11 Electrical Distribution System
4.11.1 Overview
The electrical power system for both plants includes imported and internally generated power
supplies,uninterruptible power supplies,distribution equipment,and standby generators.
Power supply and standby power systems are detailed in other sections of this FMP(Sections
4.11 and 4.13,respectively).This section describes the distribution systems.
Power is provided to the plant by a single 66-kV feed and distributed through a 12-kV electrical
distribution system at the Electrical Service Center(ESC). ESC provides power to Distribution
Center J,Distribution Center K,and Cengen,which generates power from digester or natural
gas.Power distribution equipment throughout the plant transforms the 12-kV power to the
required equipment utilization voltages. Most plant process loads operate at 480 volts M.
Power distribution equipment(transformers, switchgear,motor control centers WCCs],and
miscellaneous electrical/control equipment) are typically housed in the various distribution
centers and power buildings serving one or more process areas.The gas compressors and
outfall pumps are operated at medium voltage. Standby generator units located throughout the
plant provide an additional power source.
Plant No.2 Major Electrical Facilities are shown on Exhibit 4-19.
Cengen provides power through a 12-kV electrical distribution system to distribution centers
and other power buildings containing power distribution equipment throughout the plant. This
equipment transforms the 12-kV power down to the required equipment utilization voltages.
Most plant equipment operates at 480 V or less,except for some equipment that operates at 4.16
kV(air compressors and primary effluent pumps),2.4 kV (outfall booster pumps),or 12 kV
(EPSA pumps). For increased reliability,the distribution centers and power buildings are
typically provided with double-ended switchgear lineups,with tie circuit breakers.

4.12 Standby Diesel Generators
4.12.1 Overview
The primary electrical power supply to the treatment plants consists of imported power from
SCE and power from each plant's Central Generation(Cengen)facility.
Diesel generators are located at various process areas in each plant to provide power during an
outage of the primary systems.Multiple units connect to each other,in some cases to provide
the needed capacity at that process area. The units are not interconnected with other power
supplies or generators in other process areas.
The 2007 OCSD Energy Master Plan,Technical Memorandum(TM) 10(OCSD,2007),evaluated
the standby power systems.This evaluation considered the possible consequences of power
outages,the outage durations required to cause impact,likely power outage durations, and the
probability of outages to occurring during various flow conditions.
Project P2-66 required an additional 2,000-kW generator. Because the Headworks Standby
Power Building has no space for an additional generator,the P2-66 generator was located at the
EPSA Standby Power Building and configured to serve the Headworks.Project P2-110 will
utilize the Headworks Standby Power System available spare capacity to refeed the existing
Turbine Generator Building standby loads prior to demolishing the building.
4.12.2 Operational Philosophy
Diesel-fueled standby generators provide power during outages of the primary power systems
to reduce the risk of process failures.This risk reduction must be balanced against the cost of
installing and maintaining diesel generators,and the air emissions impacts of those generators.
The OCSD Criticality Table is used to determine which processes require standby power. Each
equipment unit is tied to a process requirement affected by that equipment being out of service
as well as the outage duration required to cause that impact.The load on each power building is
estimated for various flow conditions.The probability of outages occurring during these flow
conditions was calculated to evaluate the potential risk of an outage.Using this model allows
for identifying areas of greater risk,where power improvements should be considered,and
areas where some generators could be eliminated.
Due to SCAQMD limitations,use of diesel generators is restricted to power outages for water-
in/water-out process and for life safety equipment.Limited hours are available,however,for
testing and maintenance.
Diesel generators are located at power buildings within the various process areas.They do not
operate in parallel with the primary power system or with diesel generators from other power
4101 OCSDFNV 2017-Pl tr42.doox
4.0 PLANT NO.2
buildings.If a power building has multiple diesel generators,they run in parallel with each
other,but must be isolated from the plant grid and diesel generators from other power
buildings.
When power is lost in the primary power system,the local power building isolates itself from
the primary system before switching over to the diesel engine standby generators. This occurs
automatically at some power buildings and manually at others.
Diesel generators are an important standby power source and provide the following operational
benefits:
• They supplement Cengen power,which alone is not enough to run all process loads at both
plants.
• They generally start immediately after a power disruption to run the most critical loads.
Engines are kept in a"ready' state by engine block heaters.
• They respond to rapid load changes much better than Cengen engines and are therefore
more stable.
• They are located remotely at process areas,providing some protection from problems in the
distribution system,such as a fire in the Cengen power building or damage to conduits
running from Cengen to the power buildings.
• Diesel generator fuel is stored in adjacent tanks and underground tanks at the power
buildings. By contrast,Cengen engines rely on either digester gas or natural gas.Digester
gas is limited in supply and depends on pipelines and mechanical equipment. Natural gas
depends on the gas supply grid. Without adequate digester gas supply to run all available
engines,natural gas is needed to get the full capacity of Cengen.The plant diesel fuel
system could be less vulnerable to the effects of a major earthquake.
SCAQMD regulates the use of the emergency standby diesel engines under SCAQMD
Rules 1402 and 1470.
4.12.2.2.1 Rule 1402
Rule 1402 applies to existing sources and to total facility emissions.This rule requires facilities
to implement risk reduction measures as required by the Hot Spots AM,and also specifies
public notification and inventory requirements.Rule 1402 establishes three health-effect impact
criteria levels(notification level,action level,and significant risk level) to determine the impact
of the facility-wide risk.
Currently,the impact of diesel generators has not been considered in the calculations that
identify the level of impact. If they are included in future calculations,their inclusion may affect
the Operational Philosophy.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
4.12.2.2.2 Rule 1470
The SCAQMD adopted Rule 1470 in April 2004 to address a proposed Air Toxic Control
Measure (ATCM) engine regulation set forth by the CARB. Rule 1470 applies to stationary
compression ignition engines with a rated brake horsepower(bhp) greater than 50(>50 bhp).
The rule also includes requirements for fuel and fuel additives,operating requirements,and
diesel particulate matter(PM) emission standards for existing and new stationary compression
ignition engines.
The emergency diesel engines at both Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are rated greater than 50 bhp,
for both the existing and future emergency diesel engines.Therefore,Rule 1470 is an applicable
regulation for the emergency diesel engines at Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2.
hi response to this issue,a decision was made to accept limited hours of operation rather than to
install expensive emissions controls.If additional hours of operation me needed in the future,
the possibility of installing the emissions controls could be considered.

storage tanks.P2-110 will refeed the existing standby loads from the Headworks Standby Power
System prior to demolishing the emergency generator building. The project will also install a
new regional uninterruptible power supply (UPS) distribution system at the EPSA Standby
Power Building to support facilities within that area.
4.13 Uninterruptable Power Systems
4.13.1 Overview
Uninterruptible power supply(UPS) systems in the treatment plants provide temporary power
to instrumentation and controls when utility power is unavailable.The batteries typically have
10 to 20 minutes of storage capacity. For longer outages,the UPS units must be supported
through backup generation.
Basic components of a UPS installation include the UPS module with associated batteries,and
transfer and bypass switches for maintenance and process reliability.
All critical monitoring and control equipment should be fed from UPS power to avoid
equipment failure during a power outage.UPS systems also filter sensitive electronics from
potentially harmful power anomalies.
OCSD has a complex plant control system with distributed programmable logic controllers
(PLCs),input/output racks,and instrumentation.There are currently a number of miniature
(less than 5 kW)and medium(5 kW to 30 kW) UPS units serving those devices.The miniature
UPS units are located in the bottom of racks and panels where they are difficult to maintain and
can fail without warning.Through the years,UPS units of varying sizes and specifications have
been installed.
The OCSD UPS Study recommended replacement of all of the existing UPSs with three regional
UPSs placed strategically throughout the plant which would feed Power Distribution Units
(PDUs)which would be in many buildings to provide UPS power locally.The first of the
regional UPS was installed by the P2-89 project at the DAFT Electrical Building.Project P2-110
will install the second regional UPS at the EPSA Standby Power Building.A future project will
install the third regional UPS.

4.13.2 Operational Philosophy
The general operational philosophy of the UPS system is:
• UPS units provide continuous backup power to the plant control system in the event of
normal power outage until standby generators start and repower can be restored the loads.
In the event the standby generator(s)fail to start,the UPS provides ample time for an
orderly shutdown when necessary.
• UPS units filter power to sensitive instrumentation.
4.13.3 Current Performance
Not applicable
4.13.4 Design Criteria
Future regional UPS installations should meet the following guidelines.
• Use larger,higher-voltage UPS units to reduce voltage drop from the UPS to the critical
load.
• UPS units perform best in clean,dry,tempered space as specified by manufacturers.
A climate-controlled enclosure is required to satisfy this guideline and to maintain a
recommended ambient temperature of approximately 770F. Providing a climate-controlled
enclosure for each miniature UPS would be impractical.
• Each UPS shall have alarms to a manned location.
• Each UPS shall be powered from a voltage source with standby generators.
• Locally available parts shall be specified and serviced with a 4-hour response time.
• Limit the initial design load to no more than 70 percent of UPS rating.
4.13.5 Planned Upgrades
Project P2-89 is installing the first regional UPS at the DAFT Electrical Building.Project P2-110 is
installing the second regional UPS at the EPSA Standby Power Building.A future project will
install the third regional UPS.

4.14.1 Overview
This section includes a description of communication systems involving data,voice,and other
communications related to the administrative and plant treatment processes.This includes the
process SCADA systems,radios,phones,and office computers.Table 4-65 describes the
communications systems.

The office data/voice system includes the computers used for various administrative functions.
Landline(stationary)telephones are included in this group because of their integration with the
office computer system.
VOIP(voice over intemet protocol) phones are the standard throughout the plant.Hardwired,
landline phones are used only when required for code reasons or when VOIP phones are not
feasible.The VOIP phones connect into the office network,separate from traffic related to
process controls at the plant.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
Two-way radios are the primary communication between O&M personnel in the field. Channel
1 depends on the Plant No.1 base repeater and has the largest range. Channel 2 does not
depend on the base repeater,but has a very limited range. Channel 3 is a'local talk' channel.
The public address (PA)system allows broadcasts from the office phone system to speakers in
the field.This could be used in emergency situations to communicate to field personnel.The
main control unit is located in the control center.Project FE 7-34 expanded the PA system to
office buildings and trailers that did not have it. Plant coverage is,however,incomplete.
The fire alarm system is an Edwards EST 3 system,providing sensing and alarming. It is a
stand-alone system and reports to a console in the control center. Each plant has one system.
The security cameras were previously on a CCTV coaxial system,but are being moved to an
office Ethernet system,which is Internet Protocol(IP)based.IP-based security cameras are
power-over-Ethemet type(POE)and typically connect into an access layer switch into the office
network.
The card reader system controls personnel access to various process areas and buildings.The
Cyberlock system controls personnel access to PLC cabinets in the process areas.
This system provides SCADA for all process equipment,allowing plant operators to control
process equipment in remote locations and the PLCs in the various process areas to obtain data
from other process areas.Process data are collected by the Data Historian and are used to
improve operational decision-making and cost control as well as for compliance reporting.
SCADA data are commonly transmitted between the following points:
• Plant No.1 and Plant No.2.
• Control center and local process areas.
• Control center and remote pump stations.
• Local PLCs and process equipment.
• Between process area PLCs.
SCADA communications between Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are currently provided by two
fiber optic connections.The Ellis/Bushard fiber optic line travels from Plant No. 1 to Plant No.2
via SALS to the abandoned Ellis Pump Station,to the Ellis/Bushard Diversion structure and
then follows the Bushand trunk line to Plant 2.A portion of this fiber was installed by 1-24A
project and another portion was installed by FE07-10,Bushard Trunk Optic Link.A second
redundant fiber optic runs between Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 along the Santa Ana River
interplant pipeline alignment.This Santa Ana River fiber optic connection will be replaced by a
new line installed by the J-117A project.
Plant No. 2 PLCs currently use Modbus Plus for communications from the PLCs to the HMIs
workstations and historians. Modbus Plus is an aging protocol scheduled for replacement
under the P2-107 project.

4.14.2 Operational Philosophy
The process SCADA system provides important data communications for plant monitoring,
control,and automation.As such,the system's reliability is critical to maintaining regulatory
compliance for both the collections system and the treatment plants.
Security is a high priority for both the office data system and the process data system;however,
those systems have different security needs.The office data system requires a less restrictive
system to allow information to be exchanged with various consultants,vendors,and the public
for general OCSD business,whereas a much more restrictive system is appropriate for the
process SCADA system.
OCSD uses CRISP (Copeland Roland Sequential Processor)HMI software for the human
machine interface for process control functions at both Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2.This
software was originally designed to run on VAX workstations,which are now obsolete and
difficult to support. OCSD has recently begun using Hummingbird VAX emulator
workstations,allowing OCSD to continue to run the aging CRISP software on modem
computer hardware. Servers running Wonderware provide the historian functions for the
process control data.
Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 use Schneider Automation Modicon Quantum PLCs as a standard
platform for process controls.They are also used at the outlying pump stations in the collection
system.For critical processes,a redundant CPU configuration is used.
Control inputs and outputs connected to the PLCs are provided by Quantum Remote IO Racks.
The remote IO racks may be distributed physically,remotely from the CPU,or connected over
coaxial or fiber optic cable.The Quantum platform is currently being phased out by the
manufacturer and is being replaced by new product lines.
Plant No. 2 PLCs communicate to the HMI workstations over a Modbus Plus network.Modbus
Plus is also an aging protocol and is planned for replacement with Ethernet by the P2-107
project.
Plant No. 2 is blanketed with fiber optic cable. This fiber is typically multimode fiber optic cable
blown through tube cables,providing the ability to connect networked devices across the plant.
These devices include network switches,PLCs,Remote IO racks,HMIs,Servers,card readers,
PA equipment,fire alarm equipment,and other office IT equipment.
There is also an interplant fiber optic connection between Plant No.1 and Plant No.2,which
allows data to be passed between locations.The P2-107 project will add additional single-mode
fiber across Plant 2 to create the ICS network for use as process controls.The P2-107 project will
also provide additional spare fibers that may be used for Office IT network purposes.

4.14.5 Planned Upgrades
The following projects include planned upgrades to the OCSD communications system:
• P2-107 will create a new fiber optic network and Industrial Control system network
(ICS)for process control communications. The ICS will replace the existing Modbus Plus
communications network at Plant No.2.
• P2-107 will add power monitoring and controls at Plant No. 2 similar to those installed
by the J-33-3 project at Plant No.1.
• The J-117A project will run a new interplant fiber link between Plant No.1 and Plant No.
2 along the interplant pipeline,replacing existing fiber.
• SP-196 will study the Plant SCADA and process control system and make
recommendations for future SCADA software and hardware platforms.This study will
likely result in a project or multiple projects that will replace the PLC CPU hardware
and software and the HMI software used by OCSD.This project may also affect
input/output hardware currently installed at the plant.
• OCSD is creating two core switch locations at Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2.These
locations will house redundant hubs of network and server hardware for the ICS and
Office IT networks and related servers.At Plant No.2, these locations will be the P2-92
Centrifuge Building second floor and an IT Room to be constructed on the second floor
of the OOBS building by P2-107.

4.15 Plant Air System
4.15.1 Overview
The Plant Air System described in this section includes the High Pressure Air(I-II'A) system
and Instrument Air(IA)system.
The primary uses of plant air in the process areas include:
• Bubblers for water level measurement and other instrumentation
• Portable valve operators and other pneumatically controlled equipment
• Pneumatic tools for use by maintenance staff
In general,the HPA systems at both plants include air compressors and a looped piping system
that is sized to provide enough storage to eliminate the need for air tanks. Compressed air,
which is used for instrumentation,passes through air dryers before entering the 1A system.
Water traps are located in various locations and are automatically actuated by mechanical
means.
The Cengen facilities at Plant No. 1 have dedicated HPA systems that are isolated from the
plant HPA looped system for the following uses:
• Starting air-Pressurized air tank that starts the Cengen engines.
• Instrument air-Used in the Cengen facility.
The Plant No. 1 HPA compressors are listed in Table XX.
The discussion in this section is limited to process area uses and does not include nonprocess
uses in the operations building,laboratory,shop,administration building,or other places,
unless those uses are served by the plant HPA looped system. Other compressed air systems
(including air for channel agitation aeration,secondary treatment,and grit) are discussed in
other sections.
The main air supply at Plant No.2 is from the Air Compressor Building. Another compressor,
located at the DAF Thickener Building,was installed to provide additional pressure in the DAF
area,but that compressor has not been in service for several years. It is likely that this
compressor will be replaced in the near future. Plant No.2 High Pressure Air System is shown
on Exhibit 4-18.
4.15.2 Operational Philosophy
Uses of plant air in the process areas include the following:
• Bubblers for water level measurement and other instrumentation
• Valve operators and other pneumatically controlled equipment
• Pneumatic tools for use by maintenance staff
The HPA systems at both plants were designed with enough storage in the piping system to
eliminate the need for air tanks.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
Compressed air,which is used for instrumentation,passes through air dryers before entering
the IA system.
The Cengen facilities at both plants have dedicated HPA systems that are isolated from the
plant HPA looped system. These systems pressurize the air tanks that start the Cengen engines
and supply instrument air needs in the Cengen facility.
Water traps are located in various locations and are automatically actuated by mechanical
means.
4.16 Current Performance
The current performance of the Plant Air System at Plant No.2 has been adequate to serve the
current HPA and IA operational needs at each plant. This is expected to change in the future
when new facilities,currently in construction,place additional demands on the system.
4.16.1 Design 0iteria
The Plant Air Systems have historically been evaluated on an informal basis,without the use of
formal design criteria,with improvements made to the system as needed.Appropriate design
criteria could be developed in the future if needed. Appropriate design criteria could be
developed in the future if needed.However,a Plant Air system evaluation study designated SP-
148 was completed in August 2016.The goal of the study was to assess the existing Plant Air
system and propose improvements to the existing system,and to evaluate alternatives to
improve the Plant Air system.

4.0 PLANT NO.2
The XJ-129 project will upgrade the Plant Air system.The Plant Air System at Plant No.2 would
be designed for an 800-scfm peak load with one spare compressor train.This would require one
new 400-scfm compressor train in the PEPS building to meet the peak load three different ways
with one spare compressor train.
In normal operation,the central control system would cycle between these three configurations
to allow improved loading for the lead compressor.The operating compressors would
modulate and cycle as required to meet the demand.Each train would have compressor
monitoring, dryer monitoring,pressure monitoring,and dew point monitoring from the
SCADA system.

5.1.1 Steve Anderson Lift Station (SALS) and Ellis Trunk
The Steve Anderson Lift Station(SALS) and the Ellis Avenue Trunk Line help divert
wastewater flows from the Magnolia-Bushard and Knott Trunks from Plant No. 2 to Plant
No. 1,primarily for reuse. A diversion structure at the intersection of Ellis Avenue and Bushard
Street contains valves that control flow diversions to the Ellis Avenue Trunk Line. Diverted
influent travels by gravity to the SALS at the northeast margin of Plant No. 1.These facilities
have a rated capacity of 60 million gallons per day (mgd).

5.01NTERPLANT FACILRIES
5.1.1 Interplant Diversion/Interplant Interceptor
This pipeline system diverts influent, filtrate/centrate,SARI flows,and solids from Plant No.1 to
Plant No. 2.The 78-inch Interplant Diversion pipeline joins the metering and diversion(M&D)
structure at Plant No. 1,runs west along Ellis Avenue,and meets the 96-inch Interplant
Interceptor at Brookhurst Street.Flows continue south along Brookhurst Street to Plant No.2.
There is an existing connection to the Interplant Interceptor from the Knott Trunk Line near the
intersection of Ellis and Brookhurst,which is normally isolated by a stop log gate.
The 78-inch Interplant Diversion pipeline has a hydraulic design capacity of 82 mgd,and the
964nch Interplant Interceptor has a capacity of approximately 99 mgd. (Note:On January 22,
2017, during a large storm event,Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)staff observed
96 mgd of flow conveyed through the 78-inch pipe.)
5.1.2 Interplant Effluent Pipelines (66-inch, 84-inch, 120-inch)
The interplant effluent piping system consists of three pipelines that run parallel to the Santa
Ana River.These pipelines have 66-inch,84-inch, and 120-inch diameters. All three connect
from the effluent junction box at Plant No.1 to the ocean outfall booster station at Plant No. 2.
Per the Joint Agreement,the OCSD leases the 66-inch pipeline to the OCWD.
In the future,OCSD intends to use the 66-inch pipeline to move secondary effluent from Plant
No. 2 to OCWD for reclamation. To prepare for this,OCWD will rehabilitate this pipeline to
extend its useful life under the GWRS Final Expansion.
Historically,the 844nch and 120-inch pipelines conveyed primary and secondary effluent from
Plant No. 1 to the outfaB facilities at Plant No. 2.Since 2008,these pipelines have conveyed
secondary effluent and reverse osmosis concentrate from GWRS from Plant No. 1 to ocean
outfall facilities.These two pipelines will be rehabilitated as part of Project J-117. Information
about the three interplant effluent pipelines can be found in Table 5-2.

5.1.3 Interplant Gas Pipeline
Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 each produce digester gas that produces electricity.A 16-inch,
stainless-steel,high-pressure gas pipeline connects the two power generation plants,allowing
digester gas to be routed to either plant to balance supply and demand,leading to efficient gas
utilization.This pipeline conveys and stores digester gas.
52 pw•/nWlloNocumenWClienUMMSD110339A001Dellvera0k al7Wa er%aniMapter5OMDFMP2017 IM owt Faciil docx
501NTERPlAN1 FACILITIES
The 2013 Interplant Gas Pipeline Rehabilitation Project(Project J-106) slip lined the original
18-inch stainless steel pipe with a 16-inch High Density Polyethylene(HDPE)liner. Although
this change reduced the pipeline's capacity,it solved corrosion issues faced in the past.Both
plants have power generation facilities that burn digester gas,natural gas,or a mixture of both.
Without the interplant gas pipeline's operational flexibility to store and manage digester gas,
increased flaring occurs.
5.1.4 Fiber Optic Lines
A fiber optic cable runs along the effluent interplant piping alignment adjacent to the Santa Ana
River.The cable was installed at the same time the 120-inch Interplant Effluent Pipeline was
constructed.The cable transmits voice,data,and other communication signals between the two
plants. This cable is scheduled to be rehabilitated and replaced under Project J-117A.
In 2010,a second fiber optic line was installed along Ellis Avenue and Bushard Street under
project FE0740. A conduit was installed for the fiber optic line alongside the Ellis Trunk Line
and the Bushard Trunk Line.This second line will provide signal redundancy and allow for
maintenance.
5.1.5 Reclaimed Water Pipeline
Reclaimed water is supplied to Plant No. 2 through an OCWD pipeline ranging from 12 to
30 inches in diameter.This pipeline runs parallel to the 120-inch effluent pipeline between Plant
No.1 and Plant No.2.As reclaimed water enters the northern boundary of Plant No. 2,it passes
through a flowmeter and on to the Plant No.2 Cengen facility. At Cengen,flow either splits off
to the outfall for disposal or feeds Cengen and the rest of the plant.OCWD maintains the
reclaimed water pipeline from its facilities up to the reclaimed water meter at the northern
boundary of Plant No. 2.OCSD maintains the pipeline throughout the remainder of Plant No. 2.
5.2 Operational Philosophy
5.2.1 Raw Wastewater Flow Diversions
Much of the OCSD raw wastewater tributary flow can be treated by either Plant No. 1 or Plant
No. 2. The distribution of flow between the plants can be varied by operating diversion gates at
Plant No. 1 and by operating the SALS.
This distribution is generally done to achieve the following goals:
• Maximize reclamation by OCWD by maximizing influent flows to Plant No. 1. (This
philosophy could change in the future when final expansion of the GWRS is complete and
when secondary effluent from Plant No. 2 can be reclaimed.)
• Avoid bringing Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) flow into Plant No. 1 because it is not
approved for reclamation.
SARI flows are normally diverted to Plant No.2 via a locked gate that sends it to the 78-inch
Interplant Diversion Line,except during an extreme high flow emergency.The State Water
Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water does not permit SARI water as a
reclamation source because it contains brine discharges from the upper watershed and treated
water from the Stringfellow Superfund site.OCWD must cease reclamation operations when

5.01NTERPIBNT FACILITIES
SARI flows mingle with the other flows brought into Plant No.1.An estimated 24 hours is
required to restore flow to OCWD after routing SARI flow back to Plant No.2.
In addition to influent raw sewage,Plant No.1 could receive up to 21 mgd of microfiltration
backwash flows from OCWD,which is metered and sent directly to the primary clarifiers. At
current operations,backwash returned to the primary clarifiers is approximately 16 to 18 mgd.
This flow is not anticipated to increase much after the GWRS Final Expansion. Either a portion
or all of the backwash can be diverted to Plant No. 2 via the 78-inch Interplant Diversion
pipeline.Approximately 17 mgd of reverse osmosis concentrate is routed through the Primary
Effluent Distribution Box 2 (PEDB2) at Plant No.1 and sent to the ocean outfall.When the
GWRS Final Expansion is online,the reverse osmosis concentrate is expected to increase to
23 mgd.
5.2.2 Interplant Gas Pipeline
Project J-106 (Interplant Gas Line Rehabilitation Project),completed in 2013,brought the
interplant gas pipeline back in service.The approach to operating the interplant gas pipeline is
as follows:
• Achieve efficient management,storage,and use of digester gas between Plant No. 1 and
Plant No.2.
• Minimize flaring of digester gas.
• Operate the interplant gas pipeline to comply with the DOT requirements for gathering
lines.
• Support air quality emissions requirements associated with using and flaring digester gas.
5.3 Current Performance
The 78-inch Interplant Diversion pipeline takes between 30 and 50 mgd of SARI flow and some
raw wastewater from Plant No. 1 to Plant No.2.The 84-inch and 120-inch interplant effluent
pipelines transport OCWD reverse osmosis concentrate only to the outfall at Plant No.2 unless
the GWRS is offline,where they would also carry secondary effluent.

6.1.3 Planned Upgrades
The Administration Building and Laboratory Building at Plant No.1 need to be replaced.Also,
approximately 130 staff members are located in aging office trailers throughout Plant No.1.
OCSD has decided that the most cost-effective solution is to replace the aging buildings and
trailers with new buildings that serve administrative,engineering,and laboratory functions.
Due to impacts from a Caltrans I-405 Widening Project that will install a new southbound
on-ramp at Ellis Avenue,OCSD's main entrance will need to be relocated.Project No.P1-128
(Headquarters Complex,Site and Security,and Entrance Realignment Program)will evaluate
the location of the new Headquarters Complex,which will house administrative,engineering,
and laboratory staff,as well as associated site and utilities improvements,security
improvements,entrance modifications,and relocation options for the waste hauler dump
station and fueling stations.As part of this work,Trailers A,B,E,and F will be demolished,
along with the associated utilities,and asphalt will be replaced in the south area.The existing
structure will also be demolished,along with associated utilities.The site north area of Plant
No.1 will also be demolished and will undergo improvements.

Secondary Effluent Flow Equalization Facilities Used to equalize Plant No. 1 diurnal flows. Consist of
two equalization tanks,pump station and valve,and
flowmeter vaults.
6.2.1.2 Green Acres Project Pump Station
The GAP is a water recycling effort that provides reclaimed water for landscape irrigation at
parks,schools,and golf courses and for industrial uses,such as carpet dyeing.Since 1991,GAP
has provided an alternate source of water to the cities of Costa Mesa,Fountain Valley,
Huntington Beach,Newport Beach,and Santa Ana.GAP has the capacity to produce 7.5 mgd of
reclaimed water from OCSD.
OCWD owns the GAP Pump Station,which is located on OCSD property at Plant No. 1.
6.2.1.3 Southern California Edison Substation
Southern California Edison(SCE) owns a 66-kV/12-kV substation located on OCSD property at
Plant No. 1.The SCE substation provides power from SCE to Plant No.1 at 66-kV.The limits of
the substation comprise a rectangular area approximately 200 feet by 75 feet,enclosed by an
8-foot fence.The southern part of the substation facing Garfield Avenue has a 10-foot-high
block wall.The substation includes two 25-foot-high by 12-foot-wide open steel structures

7.0 Planning Assumptions
7.1 Overview
Recommendations for this Facilities Master Plan(FMP)were developed by comparing
future demands on the facilities to current system capabilities.This section explains the
basic planning assumptions future demands are based on,applying primarily to the
treatment plant facilities.Some parts,however,may also apply to the collections facilities.
Historical influent flows,population projections,and estimated future per capita usage are
used to project the future average daily flow rate.Peak and minimum flow rates and daily
flow rate curves are estimated from applying peaking factors to the average daily flow.
Future solids loadings are projected from historical solids loadings,population projections,
and future treatment changes.
Through interagency agreements,the Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)receives
influent from the Santa Ana River Watershed Agency(SAWPA), the Irvine Ranch Water
District(IRWD),and the Sanitation District of Los Angeles County.Influent from these
agencies can affect both the quantity and quality of future influent flows.
Through agreement with the Orange County Water District (OCWD),OCSD provides
treated wastewater to the Groundwater Replenishment System(GWRS) and Green Acres
Project(GAP) facilities for reclamation.This agreement places requirements on the quantity
and quality of treated effluent provided to OCWD.
Various regulatory requirements affect capital improvement project(CIP)planning.The
primary requirements apply to the discharge of treated wastewater,the release of air
emissions and odors,and biosolids management.The OCSD Board of Directors also defines
goals and policies that often exceed these regulatory requirements.
Lastly,emerging issues and concerns could affect the planning of future CIP facilities.The
level of information available on these issues may not be sufficient to provide clear CIP
recommendations. However,the potential impacts of these issues and concerns must still be
considered.
7.1 Wastewater Flow
The flow projections presented in this section apply to the treatment plants only.These
projections were developed by applying per capita unit flow coefficients to service area
population projections,which were developed by OCSD in the Planning Basis for Flow and
Solids Loading 2016 paper included in Appendix XX and summarized in this section. The
Collection Capacity Evaluation Study(PS15-08),currently in progress,will address flow

projection estimates for the collection system using hydraulic modeling methods that align
with industry standards.
7.1.1 Service Area Population
The 2015 OCSD service area population was approximately 2.56 million(Center for
Demographic Research[CDR],2016). Approximately 2.26 million people reside in areas
directly tributary to OCSD Plant No. 1 and No.2.The remaining 300,000 people reside in
the Revenue Area 14(RA14) area tributary to the IRWD Michelson Water Reclamation
Plant(MWRP).Table 7-1 lists projected populations for the OCSD service area between the
years 2015 and 2040 (CDR 2016).Projections from the OCSD 2009 Facilities Master Plan are
shown for comparison.

As the table shows,the population increased by approximately 6.3 percent in the OCSD
service area (including the MWRP tributary area) between 2005 and 2015. During the
20-year period between 2015 and 2035,the population within the OCSD service area is
projected to increase another 8.3 percent.The population directly tributary to Plant No. 1
and No.2 is expected to increase by 6.6 percent over the same period,whereas the
population tributary to the MWRP is expected to increase by 21.5 percent.Service area
population projections are shown in Figure 7-1.
7.1.2 FHstorical Influent Flow
Average daily influent flows to OCSD Plant No. 1 and No.2 from 2000 to 2015 are shown in
Figure 7-2.Plant influent includes MWRP tributary area and SAWPA discharges,as well as
dry weather urban runoff diversions.From 2000 to 2015,total influent flow ranged from 240
to 190 million gallons per day(mgd).
Influent flows received from tributary areas in Los Angeles County are assumed to be offset
by Orange County flows tributary to Los Angeles County.

7.1.3.1 Unit Flow Coefficients
The unit flow coefficient characterizes the average per capita usage in the service area. From
2000 to 2015,the calculated influent per capita flow decreased from 105 gpcd to 75 gpcd.
Although the population in OCSD's service area has been increasing,water conservation
has reduced the wastewater generated.The monthly Water Conservation Reports published
by California State Water Resources Control Board confirmed that water usage per person
statewide has been decreasing.
In the Orange County area,water usage ranges from 40 to 100 gallons per day per person
for different water suppliers.Most areas of Orange County use 70 to 80 gallons per day per
person.Two possible unit flow coefficient projections were developed.The first is based on
the current trend(continued decline in wastewater generation),and the second is a
conservative approach(stabilization in wastewater generation).The approaches are labeled
as lower bound and upper bound criteria,respectively,and are described below.
• Lower Bound Criteria:This is based on the criteria presented in OCSD's white paper
(OCSD Solids Loading Projections White Paper by OCSD Engineering Planning,
2016).According to this white paper,a 1 percent decrease per year from 75 gpcd was
assumed,up to a minimum per capita flow of 60 gpcd,since the calculated per-
capita flow decreased from 105 gpcd in year 2000 to 75 gpcd in year 2015.This
criterion was used to develop the lower bound average flows.
• Upper Bound Criteria:To be conservative for the upper bound,we assumed that the
future flow per capita would stabilize at the current 75 gpcd.This criterion was used
to develop projected peak flows.
7.1.3.2 Average Daily Flow Projection
7.1.3.2.1 Influent
Average daily influent flow projections between 2015 and 2035 were based on projected
populations and other factors,including base groundwater infiltration.Two possible
projected inflows were developed and designated upper and lower bound.The upper
bound projection is more conservative and is based on a constant unit flow coefficient. The
lower bound projection is based on a decreasing unit flow coefficient.The unit coefficients
for the upper and lower bound are presented in Table 7-2.

For planning purposes,SAWPA flows are assumed to increase from 10.8 mgd in 2015 to
30 mgd in 2035.Flows through the Main Street flume,which include flow from the MWRP,
are assumed to be 5.5 mgd in 2015,with an anticipated increase to 10.0 mgd by 2035.
Despite population increases,flows to OCSD from the MWRP tributary area are expected to
decrease due to expanded reclamation at MWRP.Over the same time period,urban runoff
diversions are assumed to increase from 1.5 mgd in 2015 to 10.0 mgd in 2035.From 2015 to
2035,flows tributary to Plant No.1 and No.2 are projected to increase by as much as
17.7 percent.
Assuming increased flows from OCSD Plant No.1 and No.2 tributary areas,urban runoff,
and SAWPA,and reduced flows from the MWRP tributary area,total flows are projected to
increase by approximately 5 percent and 23 percent for lower and upper bound,
respectively(see Table 7-3).

7.1.3.2.2 Influent and Ocean Discharge Flow Projections
Table 7-4 presents average daily influent flow projections under dry weather conditions.
These values include the projected increases in influent flow,as detailed above,and GWRS
requirements.For planning purposes,an average of approximately 125 mgd of secondary
effluent from Plant No. 1 is assumed to be conveyed to OCWD for 2015 and beyond.
However,if operating,the Steve Anderson Lift Station(SALS)could deliver additional
water,as available,from Plant No.2 to meet higher OCWD demands.

7.1.3.2.3 Utimate Flow Proiectons
Wastewater flows in the OCSD service area will likely continue to increase after 2035;
however,regional population and employment projections were not considered beyond
2035.Ultimate flow projections based on land use classifications and flow coefficients for
each use(mgd/acre)will be considered for a long-term planning analysis.
The 1999 Strategic Plan included an ultimate total flow estimate for OCSD treatment
facilities of 495.4 mgd(OCSD,1999).In 2006,"buildout"flows were estimated as part of the
Strategic Plan Update for the collection system gob No.J-101). Buildout flows were based
on land use and per-acre unit factors.
CDR provided land use data with consolidated general plan information from cities in
Orange County.This information was further consolidated to 10 categories corresponding
to the 1999 Strategic Plan land use categories.Mixed land uses in CDR's original data were
generally designated commercial. Using the 1999 Strategic Plan flow coefficients,a projected
total buildout flow of 455 mgd was determined(OCSD,2006a).
7.1.3.3 Peak and Mnimum Flow Projections
This section includes peak flow projections for dry weather conditions,winter dry weather
conditions,minimum hour flows,and wet weather conditions.Peaking factors were defined
for each projection scenario and are included below. Peaking factors for wet weather and
minimum flows were developed in the Technical Memorandum 3 Peak Flow Study
included in Appendix XX.
7.1.3.4 Projected Peak Dry Weather Flow
To evaluate the hydraulic and process capacities of Plant No. 1 and No.2 through 2035,a
daily peaking factor of 1.18 was assumed.Average dry weather diurnal flow data was
obtained from the dry period(June through August)between 2016 and 2017. Averages were

adjust annual average peak flow to winter dry weather peak flow calculated from average
and peak month influent flow from FY 2009-10 to FY 2015-16,and (2)a daily peaking factor

7.1.4.2 Projected Peak Wet Weather Flows
To plan for wet weather flow through 2035, Carollo Engineers,Inc. developed a
memorandum(Appendix 2A:TM 3:OCSD peak flow memo,2016) describing the
methodology used to generate OCSD's projected peak flows. The most significant wet
weather event with hourly flow data in the past 20 years occurred on January 22,2017.This
storm event was similar(1 percent difference)to the one on the January 4,1995,which
produced the maximum influent flow recorded at OCSD.
The January 22nd storm was evaluated and used to determine the maximum projected peak
wet weather flow.This storm event produced a maximum influent flow of 545 mgd.The
peak flow memorandum determined that the January 22nd storm event produced an Inflow
and Infiltration(I/I)of 315 mgd.
Peaking factor projections were determined using I/I data.Peaking factors ranged from
2.81-2.54 for the years 2017-2035. Table 7-8 shows projected peak wet weather flows.

7.1.4.3 Projected 2035 Daily Peak Flow Curves
Daily peak flow curves were projected for the year 2035.Data from the dry period Gone
through August)between 2016 and 2017,as well as the peaking factors and population
assumptions described above,were applied to construct these peak flow projection curves
for the year 2035.These daily peak flow curves we presented in Figures 7-4 and 7-5.
Figure 74 assumes that the GWRS is in operation at 130 mgd.Figure 7-5 assumes that the
GWRS is not in operation.Note that Figures 7-4 and 7-5 both assume that IRWD has shut
down the MWRP,and that OCSD is receiving 32 mgd of flow from the service area,the
maximum amount allowed under the contract.

7.2 Wastewater Characteristics
This section summarizes the chemical characteristics of wastewater influent and effluent
ocean discharge for OCSD's Reclamation Plant No. 1 (Plant No.1)and Treatment Plant
No.2 (Plant No.2).The water quality data are taken from OCSD O&M records of yearly
averages.This section also discusses the water quality regulatory requirements for effluent
discharges.
7.2.1 Influent Wastewater Characteristics
The annual average biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)in combined influent was
324 milligrams per liter(mg/L) in fiscal year(FY)2015-16.The annual influent average of
total suspended solids(TSS) was 353 mg/L in Plant No.1 and 370 mg/L in Plant No.2.
A summary of influent characteristics between FY 2011-12 and 2015-16 is included in
Table 7-9.

7.2.2 Solids Loading—Actual and Projected
Solids loading to Plant No.1 and No.2 was monitored over time.Using the recorded data,
future projections were made for planning purposes.Figure 7-6 shows projected solids
loading based on two per capita generation scenarios: annual average solids loading and
maximum month solids loading.

Flows,TSS,and BOD loadings were projected using the"Per Capita Loading"method.
Historical loadings per capita per day were calculated by dividing the total loadings by the
population tributary to both plants.These loadings excluded those from the OCSD service
area,such as the SAWPA loading.IRWD loadings and populations were both subtracted
from the total loading and population,respectively.
Future projected loadings were calculated by multiplying the loading per capita per day by
the projected population for both plants,and then adding the external loadings,including
SAWPA and IRWD projected loadings.
The maximum historical yearly average for TSS and BOD during the last six years was
0.21 lb per capita per day(ppcd)and 0.19 ppcd,respectively.Both values were used to
calculate the future TSS and BOD loadings,respectively.

70PIA*M' I SUfIYNS
The maximum month loading peaking factor over the last six years was 1.10 and 1.09 for
TSS and BOD loading,respectively.Total loadings to both plants were calculated without
splitting the loading at this step for the following reasons: (1) CDR has no separate
population projection for each plant; (2)the flow diversion between the plants makes it
difficult to estimate loadings from tributary populations to each plant; (3)no records are
available for loadings from external sources to each plant.Nonetheless,OCSD may wish to
start collecting information on the solids loading for typical land uses and track trends on
industrial and manufacturing(plating,etc.) efficiencies to understand how the solids
loadings may change in the future.
Other potential items to track would be water-efficient appliance technology improvements,
the number of new installations,and new regulations requiring replacements. This is
because,in the future,with water conservation and potential climate change pressures,
solids loadings may need to be tracked and projected independently of flow projections.
7.2.3 Ocean Effluent Discharge Characteristics
For FY 2015-16,the final effluent monthly average concentration of total suspended solids
was 4.9 mg/L for a daily average discharge mass emissions rate of 1.82 metric tons.This
represents 8.9 percent of the allowable 30-day average concentration limit of 55 mg/L,and
5.9 percent of the mass emissions limit of 31.1 metric tons per day. A summary of effluent
ocean discharge characteristics is included in Table 7-10.

Effluent quality improved significantly as secondary treatment projects were completed
through 2012. BOD,TSS,and whole-effluent toxicity were projected under secondary
treatment standards.All other parameters were assumed to have improved with secondary
treatment,although few projections were made.This is primarily because OCSD was not
given regulatory relief for any other parameters(besides BOD and TSS) in the current and
past ocean discharge permits.
7.3 or Interagency Agreements
Some of the wastewater treated by OCSD comes from other agencies (SAWPA and IRWD).
OCSD also provides treated wastewater to OCWD for reclamation.This section provides an
overview of the relevant agreements with these agencies.
7.3.1 Santa Ana Watershed Protection Authority(SAWPA)
The SAWPA agency was developed to protect water quality within the Upper Santa Ana
River Basin. It consists of five agencies:Inland Empire Utilities Agency,Eastern Municipal
Water District,Western Municipal Water District,San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water
pn.\IQm rxW m�m/CNOCSD'10339,velk abka201)M1 wPbax:ia,&r7C(SDFTP 2017-Pbmin xiiwg6d .d 7-15
70P�ASSIr.PIr36S
District,and OCWD. To help protect Orange County's groundwater supplies,poor quality
brine waters (desalter concentrates)are removed from the Upper Santa Ana River Basin and
discharged to OCSD facilities for treatment and disposal.SAWPA began discharging
wastewater to OCSD in January 1982.
OCSD receives influent from SAWPA through the Santa Ana River Interceptor(SARI)line
through a connection at the north east corner of the service area.The SAWPA watershed
includes much of Orange County,the northwestern comer of Riverside County,the
southwestern comer of San Bernardino County,and a small portion of Los Angeles County.
SAWPA owns the right to discharge up to 30 mgd into the OCSD service area collection
system,which is the maximum regulated right that cannot exceed 30 mgd.Three
agreements govern SAWPA's discharges:
• 1972 Wastewater Interceptor Capacity Agreement.
• 1996 Treatment and Disposal Agreement(supersedes 1972 Treatment and Disposal
Agreement).
• 2013 Settlement Agreement(amended 1972 and 1996 agreements).
SAWPA also has purchase rights in the treatment system for up to 30 mgd.They have
currently purchased 17 mgd in the treatment systems.Flows from SAWPA include
wastewater discharged from the upper portion of the Santa Ana River outside the OCSD
service area.These flows are discharged to the OCSD's Santa Ana River Interceptor(SARI),
which is tributary to Plant No. 1.
Currently,all of Plant No.1 secondary effluent is being reclaimed at the Groundwater
Replenishment Systems (GWRS).Because the California Department of Health does not
pemtit SARI flow for reclamation,all SARI flow is diverted to Plant No.2 through the
Interplant Interceptor. In the near future,when the Final Expansion of the GWRS is
complete,Plant No.2 effluent will also be reclaimed at the GWRS.SARI flow will be
separated from other domestic wastewater at Plant No.2,where it will be treated before
being discharged to the ocean.
The 2013 Settlement Agreement added Section 33 to the original 1996 treatment agreement,
effective November 21,2013.Section 33 states that SAWPA shall pay a Supplemental
Facilities Capacity Charge (SCFCC) in the same manner as OCSD's Class I users,except that
SAWPA's baseline of allowable discharge of flow will be SAWPA's then-owned Treatment
and Disposal Right.
7.3.2 Hvine Ranch Water District (IRWD)
In March 1985,OCSD entered into an agreement with IRWD to establish a new sanitation
district for OCSD to serve.District No.14,now called Revenue Area 14(RA 14),includes
northern and coastal portions of IRWD's service area.IRWD began discharging wastewater
to OCSD in December 1986. In July 2003,IRWD assumed ownership of the collection system

within the Irvine Business Complex.OCSD provides source control for this area per
agreement with IRWD.
Most of the wastewater from RA 14 flows through the Main Street Flume and is treated at
OCSUs Plant No. 1. This flow includes sludge from MWRP,which is pumped to the Main
Street Trunk for treatment and disposal at Plant No.1.Other flows from RA 14 include
flows from the Irvine Business Complex,from the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community,
and from the Gas Recovery System at Coyote Canyon Landfill. These flows are not tributary
to MWRP.For comparison,estimated flows from RA 14 and corresponding tributary areas
are shown in Table 7-11.

IRWD is constructing a new solids handling facility. Once on-line (scheduled for
December 2018),IRWD will stop sending sludge to OCSD.The raw sewage flow,along with
the IRWD sludge,will also decrease,in part because the raw sewage will help scour sludge
in the collection pipes.After 2018,the remaining flow from RA 14 area will be mainly raw
sewage flows from other IRWD service areas that do not go through the HATS diversion.
Currently,those flows are approximately 5 mgd.
7.3.3 Orange County Water District
OCWD operates two reclamation systems: the Groundwater Replenishment System(GWRS)
and the Green Acres Project(GAP).GWRS was commissioned in the fall of 2007 and is
located in Fountain Valley,California.GRWS is jointly sponsored by OCWD and OCSD.
GWRS is a potable reuse project designed to produce approximately 100 mgd of highly
treated recycled water for groundwater recharge.Expanded groundwater recharge will
provide new water supply for Orange County and will serve as a barrier to seawater

intrusion.GWRS treats clarified secondary effluent from Plant No. 1 using microfiltration
(ME),reverse osmosis (RO),and advanced oxidation(UV light treatment with hydrogen
peroxide).While the full-scale facility was being constructed,small-scale(5 mgd)pilot
testing was performed from 2004 to 2006 at existing RO facilities in Water Factory 21.
GAP is a water recycling effort that provides reclaimed water for landscape irrigation at
parks,schools,golf courses,and industrial uses such as carpet dying.Since 1991,GAP has
provided an alternate source of water to the cities of Costa Mesa,Fountain Valley,
Huntington Beach,Newport Beach,and Santa Ana.GAP has the capacity to purify 7.5 mgd
of reclaimed water from OCSD,which uses less than 1 mgd of the water for equipment
cooling and irrigation.
According to the terms of the 2010"Joint Exercise Powers Agreement for the Development,
Operation,and Maintenance of the Groundwater Replenishment System and the Green
Acres Project" and subsequent amendments,OCSD will provide 175 mgd of"specification'
quality influent to OCWD under normal operation, (OCWD,2016).Specification water
consists primarily of activated sludge effluent,but may also include some trickling filter
effluent.Additionally,OCSD will accept waste reject streams discharged from GWRS and
GAP,as indicated in Table 7-12,as well as"startup water" from advanced treatment
facilities and periodic"well regeneration water."OCWD provides 100 mgd of outfall relief
under normal operation.

7.4 Regulatory Requirements
7.4.1 NPDES Ocean D scharge Permit
OCSD currently provides full secondary treatment for all wastewater in accordance with
Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs)and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System(NPDES)permit. On July 20,201Z the United States Environmental Protection
Agency(EPA) Region 9 and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board
(CRWQCB)jointly issued WDRs to OCSD and an Authorization to Discharge under the
NPDES permit(No. CA0110604).These agencies issue the permit jointly because the
discharge is outside of California s coastal waters (more than three miles offshore).

7.4.2 Sanitary Sewer Overflow Regulations
In conformance with Sections 13260 and 13376 of the California Water Code and Section 301
of the Clean Water Act, the California Regional Water Control Board prohibits sanitary
sewage overflows(SSOs)that cause a nuisance or result in a discharge to surface waters of
the State.For OCSD,this prohibition is found in State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB)Water Quality Order No.2006-0003-DWQ nuisance or discharge to surface waters
of the State.
7.4.3 Air Quality Regulatory Requirements
Air emissions from OCSD facilities are regulated by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District(SCAQMD),the California Air Resources Board(GARB),and the
Federal Environmental Protection Agency(EPA).
7.4.3.1 Criteria Pollutants
Plant No.1 and No. 2's process units and combustion equipment emit criteria pollutants
(oxides of nitrogen [NOX] and sulfur [SOX],carbon monoxide [CO],volatile organic
compounds [VOCs],and particulate matter [PM101).The Federal EPA,as required by the
Clean Air Act,sets National Ambient Air Quahty Standards for these criteria pollutants,and

7.4.3.2 Hazardous Air Pollutants
Wastewater treatment process units and combustion equipment also emit hazardous air
pollutants,referred to as "toxic air contaminants"or"air toxics."These pollutants are known
or suspected to cause cancer or other health impacts.
The federal EPA regulates emissions of air toxics by developing rules targeting specific
industrial"source categories" under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants(NESHAP)program.This program is codified under Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR),Parts 61 and 63. OCSD's treatment plants are subject to Part 63
Subpart V V V-POTW MALT;Subpart ZZZZ-Reciprocating hitemal Combustion Engines;
Subpart DDDDD-Major Source Boiler MACT; and Subpart JJJJJJ-Area Source Boiler
MACT.
The California's Air Toxics"Hot Spots" Information and Assessment Act,also known as
AB 2588,requires facilities to prepare air toxics emissions inventory reports and evaluate the
adverse health impact of their toxic emissions.In accordance with this law and the
corresponding SCAQMD regulations,high-emitting facilities,depending on their cancer
and non-cancer health risks,must take immediate actions to reduce emissions if the risks are
above the"action level";develop and implement the air toxics reduction program if the
risks are above the"significant level';or notify the affected communities of the health risk if
the risks are above the"public notification level."

70P�ASSIr.PIr3PS
OCSD's latest health risk assessment reports were submitted in 2007 and were approved by
CARB and SCAQMD in 2008. Plant No.1's health risks were estimated to be below any of
these levels.Plant No. Ts cancer risk exceeded the public notification level primarily due to
formaldehyde emissions from the Central Power Generation Systems (CenGen) engines.
However, the community public meeting notification was not required.This was because
the interim SCAQMD policy allowed public notification via SCAQMUs web-based risk
disclosure only if the cancer risk were reduced to below the notification level after
subtracting the cancer risk from emergency diesel engines.
In March 2015, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment(OEHHA)
updated its health risk assessment procedure to better characterize exposure risks to
children.Using the new procedure,the risks are estimated to increase to up to six times the
risks than those estimated with the former procedure,even assuming no changes in air
toxics exposure.For OCSD,however,once the CenGen s air emissions reduction project is
fully commissioned in the summer of 2016,formaldehyde emissions,other air toxics,and
criteria pollutants are expected to drastically reduce,lowering the health risk values below
the public notification level.
Under the SCAQMD's au toxics program,OCSD is also required to demonstrate that any air
toxics emissions from new or modified air emission sources do not exceed specified risk
thresholds. OCSD is also subject to source-specific rules that address toxic air contaminants
for specific equipment categories such as emergency diesel engines.
7.4.3.3 Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases Emissions Reduction
In September 2006, the Global Warming Solutions Act,formally known as California
Assembly Bill 32(AB 32,Nunez-Pavley),was signed into law.This law directs the California
Air Resources Board (CARB) to regulate GHG emissions to reduce GHG emissions to 1990
levels by 2020.
To promote a uniformed and cost-efficient approach to meeting the new regulatory
requirements,OCSD,the Southern California Alliance of Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(SCAP),and the California Association of Sanitary Agencies (CASA)members organized a
statewide organization called the California Wastewater Climate Change Group(CWCCG).
This group secured a consulting firm and is actively working to develop a wastewater
industry-wide strategy,submitting comments,proposals,and other pertinent documents.
California is reportedly on track to meet or exceed the AB 32 target of reducing greenhouse
gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.Building on this success,Governor Brown identified
key climate change strategy pillars in his January 2015 inaugural address.The pillars
include (1)reducing today's petroleum use in can and trucks by up to 50 percent,
(2)increasing electricity derived from renewable sources from one-third to 50 percent;
(3) doubling the energy efficiency savings achieved at existing buildings and making
heating fuels cleaner; (4)reducing the release of methane,black carbon,and other short-
lived climate pollutants; (5) managing farm and rangelands,forests,and wetlands so they

70 P�ASSIr.PIr3PS
can store carbon.In addition,Governor Brown issued an executive order in April 2015 to
establish a new greenhouse gas reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030,
which will become law if the proposed SB 32(Pavely) is passed.
Wastewater treatment plants and landfills may play an important role in implementing
these pillars. CARB identified diverting organics from landfills to anaerobic digestion and
composting as key strategies to reduce methane emissions from landfills by generating more
renewable energy at wastewater treatment plants and using composted biosolids to
sequester carbon and promote healthy soils.
7.4.3.4 Title VFederal Operating Permit Program
OCSD's wastewater treatment plants are subject to the EPA's federally enforceable
operating permit program,also known as Title V Permit Program V,because they are major
sources of criteria and hazardous air pollutant emissions. Initial Title V permits were issued
in January 2009,and the first 5-year renewal perntits were issued in 2014.
Although Title V permits are a compilation of the original SCAQMD permits for each plant,
additional requirements make complying with the permit requirements more challenging.
The most notable challenges are more frequent,periodic submittal of compliance
certification reports,mandatory reporting of all permit deviations,and longer permit
processing time for EPA and public review,depending on the type of permit revisions.
7.4.3.5 Emissions and Nuisance Control Requirements
Facilities Title V Permits(ID 017301 and 029110)and SCAQMD Permits F86521 (College
Pump Station) and F86522 (Westside Pump Station)restrict hydrogen sulfide emissions and
ozone discharge from OCSD's odor control equipment.The SCAQMD permits for both
plants have different hydrogen sulfide emissions limits for different permit units,ranging
from 0.5 ppm to 3.0 ppm.Ozone and hydrogen sulfide from wet well releases in the
collection system cannot exceed downwind concentrations of 0.09 parts per million by
volume (ppmv)and 0.03 ppmv,respectively.
In addition to these permits, the plants must comply with SCAQMD Rule 402(Odor
Nuisance).This rule states that a person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever
quantities of air contaminants or other materials that cause injury,detriment,nuisance,or
annoyance to a considerable number of persons or to the public,or that endanger the
comfort,repose,health,or safety of any such persons or the public,causing or having a
natural tendency to cause injury or damage to business or property. Furthermore,in 1969,
CARB set an air quality ambient air standard for hydrogen sulfide of 0.03 ppm (average
over a one hour period).This limit was ratified in 1984.
7.4.3.6 Odor Control
Permit compliance with the air quality rules does not ensure compliance with SCAQMD
Rule 402(Odor Nuisance).Previous odor control master plans and modeling efforts focused

70P�ASSIr.PIr3FS
on the well-known hydrogen sulfide odorant and the dilution-to-threshold (D/T)method.
These efforts were not effective because many other odorants are more powerful(in terms of
character,intensity, duration,and frequency) than hydrogen sulfide,and because D/T does
not reveal the details of which odorants should be targeted for treatment.
Consequently,the 2016 Odor Control Master Plans objective was to identify the particular
odorants present, determine which odorants are predominant("most detectable')and their
worst-case concentrations,use air dispersion models to determine worst-case dilution
factors to fence lines,determine maximum fence-line odorant target concentrations below
nuisance,research and test existing odor abatement technologies that target the most
detectable odorants,and design odor-abatement systems and associated cost estimates for
three scenarios (current system,best single-stage,and best multi-stage) for all plant process
areas that require odor control.
7.4.4 Biosolids Regulatory Requirements
OCSD's ability to beneficially use its biosolids is generally regulated by Title 40,Part 503 of
the Code of Regulations.Specifically,biosolids suitable for reuse must meet requirements
related to heavy metals levels,pathogen destruction,and vector attraction reduction.
OCSD's biosolids are low in heavy metals and meet the vector attraction reduction
requirement by meeting a minimum 38 percent volatile solids reduction in the anaerobic
digestion process.Pathogen reduction requirements are currently met to achieve Class B
quality and to conform to Alternative 2,Option 3(Anaerobic Digestion) of the Processes to
Significantly Reduce Pathogens.This alternative requires keeping the digester temperature
above 95 degrees,at a minimum,with a minimum 15-day retention time.
Plans are underway at Plant No.2 to upgrade the digestion system to a temperature-phased
anaerobic digestion(TPAD)system capable of achieving Class A biosolids.The simplest and
assumed alternative for compliance with the Class A requirements is Alternative 1 via one
of the time and temperature regimes listed in Table 7-16.
OCSD's Plant No. 2 biosolids must also meet pathogen requirements(as measured through
routine sampling)for either fecal coliform or salmonella.
Biosolids that do not meet the Class A or Class B requirements may not be beneficially used.
Such material could,however,be processed further,such as in a regional composting
facility.The cost and logistics to do so would depend on the quantity of material to
reprocess as well as the amount of available storage or digester space.
Currently,OCSD can use a local landfill for material that does not meet Class B
requirements.Due to proposed changes in landfill regulations,biosolids disposal in landfills
is anticipated to no longer be allowed after 2025 (Kesler 2016).

Another component of OCSD's current capital program involves codigesting pre-processed
food waste with sludge at Plant No. 2.While digesting food waste alone is regulated by
CalRecycle under CCR Title 14,Title 14 also contains an exemption for POTWs codigesting
food waste.In creating this exemption,CalRecycle acknowledged that W WTPs whose
activities are already regulated by an NPDES discharge permit are,at a minimum,regulated
entities.Note that W WTPs wishing to engage in food waste-only digestion would not fall
under this exemption;it applies only to codigestion.
7.4.5 Other Regulatory Requirements
7.4.5.1 Stormwater Requirements
OCSD is authorized to discharge under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES)permit issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and United
States Environmental Protection Agency.The NPDES permit has limitations on discharge
requirements,monitoring and reporting requirements,and other provisions to ensure that
the discharge does not harm water quality or public health. The NPDES permit requires all
stormwater flows that fall within OCSD facilities be captured and treated before being
discharged to the Pacific Ocean. The NPDES permit also requires OCSD to develop and
manage an on-site stormwater program.
7.4.5.2 Life Safety Requirements
Escape Li lg ltin Exit xit Signs,and Fire Alarms: California Building Codes and Fire codes
require fire alarms,exit lighting,and signs to have backup power.
Evacuation PA Systems,Warning Lights: OSHA requires an evacuation PA system and
warning lights.

70PIA*M' IGASSId.PI[MS
Ventilation for Area Classification:OSHA requires ventilation for hazardous areas pursuant
to California Code of Regulations Subchapter 7,Article 5162. (State of California,Division of
Occupational Safety and Health(DOSH),Division of Industrial Safety,Subchapter 7,
General Industrial Safety Orders,Group 16,Control of Hazardous Substances,Article 109
Hazardous Substances Processes,5162).Also,NFPA 820 requires ventilation to reduce
potentially explosive environments.
Eve Washes,Emergency Showers: OSHA requires eyewash stations and emergency
showers.
Fire Protection Water Pressure for Building_Sprinklers and Hydrants: Building Codes and
Fire Codes require fire protection water pressure for building sprinklers and hydrants.
7.4.5.3 Noise Ordinances
Ordinances for the City of Huntington Beach and the City of Fountain Valley limit the
acceptable noise at the OCSD property line to 50 db from 10:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m.,and 55db
from 7:00 a.m.to 10:00 p.m.For details on this ordination,refer to the City of Huntington
Beach,Municipal Code Chapter 8.40,and City of Fountain Valley,Municipal Code 6.28.050.
7.4.5.4 Fuel Tank Monitoring
The US EPA 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 280.40 lists requirements for fuel
tank monitoring.This code is administered by the Orange County Health Care Agency.
7.5 Reliability Criteria
This section provides recommended reliability criteria for collections system and treatment
plant process systems and mechanical and electrical equipment. These criteria should be
used to evaluate existing facilities and should be considered in future improvement plans.
Facility performance expectations are based on regulatory requirements,legal agreements,
and OCSD policies. Facilities have to perform under normal operating conditions as well as
special conditions that can be reasonably anticipated. This includes planned and unplanned
shutdowns for maintenance and repair,as well as operational upsets,power failures,and
special flow conditions.
In addition to reducing outage impacts,proper reliability features promote efficient system
operation and maintenance. The goal of the reliability criteria policy should be to reduce
life-cycle costs while maintaining an acceptable level of performance.
The criteria in this section represent the consensus of OCSD staff from various departments,
including Engineering,Operations&Maintenance,and Technical Services. These criteria
are based on industry standards,historical performance data,engineering judgment,field
experience,and performance expectations.

70PIA*M' IGASSV.PIYNS
7.5.1 General Reliability Criteria
Existing facility evaluations in FMP were based on general reliability criteria. The most
common reliability features include equipment redundancy as well as additional liquids
and solids storage. Other features include vehicular access,worker access,equipment
clearance,lifting devices for equipment removal,standby power for remote facilities,the
ability to isolate process units for maintenance,adequate lighting,two sources of water for
each water system,standby power on every collection system pump station where
physically possible,and consideration for redundancy in major in-plant wastewater
conveyance piping for inspection,maintenance,and repair.
The EPA document"Technical Bulletin,Design Criteria for Mechanical,Electric,and Fluid
Systems and Component Reliability,July 1974," drafted by the Office of Water Program
Operations,US Environmental Protection Agency,was used as a primary reference (EPA,
1974).This document was the basis for many regulatory expectations.The OCSD
"Collection,Treatment,and Disposal Facilities Master Plan,Reliability Analysis,Volume 6,
February 1989,"has also served as a general OCSD standard since 1989.
The OCSD Engineering Design Guidelines(EDG)is routinely updated and incorporates
reliability criteria from the 1989 Master Plan.The EDG is considered incorporated into this
Master Plan by reference.

7.7 Emerging Issues and Studies
This section discusses various emerging issues and studies and explains OCSD's current
management strategy as it relates to planning assumptions.
7.7.1 Emerging Regulation
Regulatory compliance is a major driver to consider in any facilities master plan.Utilities
must forecast,to the extent possible,the future regulatory direction and potential for new
requirements and their timing over the 20-year planning horizon.Nonetheless,it can be
extremely challenging to accurately predict future requirements over 20 years.
A key fact to recognize when predicting future requirements is that regulatory agencies
have historically not been the first to become aware of emerging environmental and public
health concerns first.The public(including non-govemmmt organizations and special
interest groups)has historically been to first to lead changes in environmental requirements
through legislation.Furthermore,technological breakthroughs (e.g.,biological nutrient
removal,disinfection,membranes,etc.)have often led to increasing regulatory actions,
raising the bar for the"technology limits'provision of the Clean Water Act.

70PIA*M' IGASSV.PIYNS
Given this,emerging issues can be tracked.Reviewing and tracking both emerging
environmental concerns held by the public and new technological developments for
predicting future regulatory requirements over a long-term planning horizon can offer
tremendous insight.
No impending regulations will affect planning in the next 20 years.However,various issues
could lead to future regulation. These will need to be monitored over time to anticipate
future regulatory impacts on facility needs.Table 7-23 forecasts future regulatory direction
based on current information.

7.7.2 Emerging Water Quahty Issues
7.7.2.1 Brine Constituents in Ocean Discharge at Low Flow Conditions
The concentration of brine flow in the final effluent is expected to increase as OCSD/OCWD
reclaims more secondary effluent reclamation with the GWRS.Future plant diurnal and
seasonal flow scenarios should consider the impact of a relative increase in brine in the final
effluent under these very low flow conditions.
OCSD recently reviewed the potential impacts of proposed increased recycling on outfall
system hydraulics,discharge initial dilution,and permit compliance through Project
No.SP-173,Effluent Reuse Study (Task 6 GWRSW Final Expansion Impacts to
Environmental and NPDES Permit Final Technical Memorandum-CDM Smith/Brown and
Caldwell,May 2016--TM 6). Lower flows could adversely affect dilution performance.
However,based on analyses presented in Technical Memorandum (TM) 6,with reduced
future effluent flows,the OCSD discharge will achieve initial dilution that complies fully
with current NPDES permit limits.
OCSD conducted toxicity testing(Whole Effluent Toxicity—WET—testing)using synthetic
effluent formulated to approximate future discharge conditions with greatly reduced
effluent discharge rates and significantly high effluent ammonia concentrations.WET
testing results showed that the predicted future effluent for two cases— the GWRS Final
Expansion and recycling beyond GWRS Final Expansion—were well within the permit
limits for effluent toxicity at the current permit dilutions.The dilution analysis results
presented in TM 6 indicated that a decrease in initial dilution with the planned GWRS Final
Expansion and a potential future maximum recycling scenario are very unlikely,and that
both WET testing cases will therefore likely comply with OCSD's NPDES Permit compliance
requirements for toxicity.
Per the SAWPA contract,brine could flow directly to the ocean in a dedicated pipeline in
the future.However,there are currently no plans for such a pipeline.
7.7.2.2 Compounds of Emerging Concern (CEC)
Compounds of Emerging Concern(CEC),also called Emerging Pollutants of Concern
(EPOC),consist of a large group of pharmaceuticals,personal care products,industrial-use
chemicals,and some commercial chemicals.Over 50,000 separate chemical entities are
estimated;however,the number used in large volume represents a subgroup of a few
hundred.Some of these compounds me known or suspected carcinogens;others could
adversely affect the endocrine system of humans and aquatic organisms.While concerns
exist over the public health and environmental effects of these unregulated chemicals,
researchers know little about the impacts of trace levels in discharges to the environment.
Addressing uncertainties about the environment and public health effects of CECs presents
a challenge for OCSD and the entire wastewater industry. Because its wastewater collection
7-36 p ..\\QmAdAcwrem\Ckm/CNIXSD'10339AONIktireabkO20171.is Pba\ al r7 MDFW 2017-Pbr mg An wWn d x
7 0 P�ASSIr.PIr3PS
system and treatment plants are a potential primary pathway of CECs to the environment,
OCSD staff identified the need to:
• Understand the occurrence and persistence of CECs in wastewater collection and
treatment processes.
• Understand potential effects to animals and ecosystems in the receiving
environment.
• Anticipate changes in regulations pertaining to CECs.
• Plan for compliance with future regulations.
OCSD completed some studies for the GWRS and the expansion of secondary treatment at
Plant No.2.These studies focused on addressing both the presence of existing CECS and the
approaches for addressing future issues.
For the wastewater systems,the concept is to provide the flexibility for future CECs.OCSD
did not identify a single treatment plant solution that can address all the CEC classes.Still,
OCSD has options.For example,trickling filters (Project No. P2-90) at Plant No.2 have
included a solids contact chamber allowing for lower operating costs from the trickling
filters while also affording the ability to extend aeration as needed to oxidize certain classes
of CECs in the future.
With respect to water reuse,process optimization and the design of multiple treatment
barriers is the standard to ensure protection of public health and the environment from
known and potential health risks. Both water and wastewater treatment systems incorporate
these concepts to ensure safe drinking water supplies and to minimize the unexpected
discharge of pollutants to the end user (WaterWorld,2007).
While the GWRS RO membranes are anticipated to reject CECs,and that advanced
oxidation will break down many of the CECs,OCSD may need to implement additional
source control measures,plant modifications,enhanced treatment processes,or even new
treatment processes to comply with future water reuse regulations(OCSD,2006b).Thus,
OCSD staff should continue to follow and potentially participate in developments related to
CEC developments and regulations.Steps taken to date include:
• GWRS design for advanced oxidation with peroxide and UV.
• OCSD efforts to reduce NDMA and 1,4-dioxane,including source-control rerouting
of dewatering filtrate/centrate,changing cationic polymers,and monitoring OCSD
effluent being supplied to OCWD.
• OCSD set levels of service for both NDMA and 1,4-dioxane to thresholds that do not
affect reclamation.

70P1lu�SmJGASS V.PIYNS
Current programs and policies that will help OCSD address potential issues associated with
CECs include:
• Comprehensive influent,effluent,and receiving-water monitoring.
• Active participation in legislative,regulatory,and permitted actions.
• Active participation in POTW associations with focus on new issues of concern.
• Active source-control program,including outreach and education to help prevent
pharmaceuticals from being discarded in wastewater.
• Research program to optimize facilities to meet treatment and regulatory
requirements.
• Careful consideration of new capital facilities and reasonable expected regulatory
requirements.
• Triple-bottom-line evaluation of LOS,with regulatory requirements setting the
minimum standards.
7.7.2.3 Future Toxicity Issues
OCSD implemented full secondary treatment,with secondary treatment facilities having
solids retention tunes (SRTs) ranging from about 1 to 7 days. One treatment plant in
Southern California,at Inland Empire Utilities Agency,is designed for a 30-day SRT to
potentially remove toxicants.However,OCSD does not have space for this type of extended
solids system.
The USEPA recently banned mfcroplastics in consumer products and is now looking at
source control to mitigate such pollution.OCSD should continue to track toxicity events and
address them as they develop.The focus of future work may include tracking the toxicant or
other environmental stressors like ammonia and microplastics.The planning approach for
OCSD is comparable to that described for CECs in the previous section.
Current programs and policies that will help OCSD address potential issues associated with
toxicity are as follows:
• Comprehensive influent,effluent,and receiving-water monitoring.
• Active participation in legislative,regulatory,and permitting actions.
• An active source control program.
• A research program to optimize facilities to meet treatment and regulatory
requirements.
• Careful consideration of new capital facilities and reasonable expected regulatory
requirements.
• Triple-bottom-line evaluation of levels of service,with regulatory requirements
setting the minimum standards.

7.7.2.4 Increases in Solids and BOD Loadings to OCSD
Refer to Section 7.3.Of particular importance is the observation that,while flows have
decreased due to water conservation practice, the solids mass loading to Plant No. 1 and
No.2 have increased consistent with population increases in the service area.With lower
flows, the concentrations of key constituents have also increased.Future projects need to
consider higher solids and BOD loading conditions.
7.7.2.5 SidestreamNbnagement
With increased reclamation and presumably tighter discharge and reclamation regulations,
side-stream treatment may present new opportunities to treat constituents in their most
concentrated states in side-streams throughout the treatment works.The SP-173 Effluent
Reuse Study identified the Plant No.2 activated sludge (AS)facility as the future non-
reclaimable flow treatment facility.In the future,if the GWRS facility is expanded to accept
SARI flows, side-stream treatment of non-reclaimable flows may be necessary.
7.7.2.6 Urban Runoff Nhnagement
Dry weather urban runoff is flow released into storm drains during dry weather and
generated through lawn irrigation,washing cars,broken water lines,illegal dumping or
connections,and other legal and illegal water uses. Runoff,which flows to storm drains and
is routed to the ocean,typically contains pathogens,toxics,pesticides,and other materials,
all of which can contaminate beaches and lead to beach closures.
The results of the Huntington Beach closure investigation,conducted in 1999,indicated that
the dry weather urban runoff flowing into the Pacific Ocean through the Talbert Channel
may have caused,or contributed to,high bacterial levels along the shoreline. Based on these
results,OCSD's Board of Directors agreed to accept and divert dry weather urban runoff
into its sewer system for treatment at Plant No. 1 and No.2.
Under the current urban runoff policy (Resolution No. 13-09),cities or agencies are
authorized to divert a maximum limit of 10 mgd for all pePnutted urban runoff diversions
combined. OCSD continues to work closely with Orange County Watersheds,the lead
agency that coordinates the cities'efforts in implementing the Water Quality Management
Plan required by the County's NPDES permit.
Before a diversion is implemented,the proposed project will be presented to Orange County
Watersheds Technical Advisory Committee.The committee will evaluate the proposal and,
if approved,will put the diversion on its Dry Weather Diversion Priority List.This step
ensures that the program's limited capacity is effectively used to improve coastal water
quality.
There are 21 active urban runoff diversion structures.Of these structures,three are owned
and operated by the County of Orange,11 are owned and operated by the City of
Huntington Beach,three are owned and operated by the City of Newport Beach,three are

owned and operated by the IRWD,and one is owned and operated by PH Finance(present
owner of the Pelican Hill Resort).
Recent additions to OCSD's urban runoff program include the Big Canyon Diversion,added
in 2015.The Peters Canyon Pipeline Diversion,projected to add up to 1.8 mgd of flow,went
on-line in July 2016.In 2017,the City of Newport Beach added the Mid Big Canyon
Diversion,a second diversion in the Big Canyon wetlands area.The Delhi Channel
Diversion in the City of Santa Ana is currently under construction and may go on-line in
2018. Engineering is working on the sewer connection permit in the City of Costa Mesa for
the Delhi Channel Diversion,which is projected to add an additional 1.4 mgd of flow.
OCSD has not been contacted by the party responsible for the Urban Runoff Discharge
Permit.Two diversions me currently in the proposal stage: the Santa Fe(0.5 mgd) and the
Lane(0.5 mgd)flood control channels. Because no recent timeline details or connection
inquiries have been received,these diversions are likely several years down the road.
Currently,only Santa Ana River,Scenario, and Peters Canyon Pipeline diversions flow to
Plant No.1;the remaining diversions along the coast flow to Plant No.2.Between 2016 and
2017,these two diversions discharged 110 million gallons (MG) to Plant No.1,contributing
to the flow delivered to GWRS.This amounted to 30 percent of the total urban runoff
diverted in those years,averaging 9 million gallons/month each year.Once complete,Delhi
Channel Diversion is projected to deliver another 1.4 mgd to Plant No.1.The total volumes
of urban runoff discharged in the past six years are summarized in Table 7-24.

2016-17 369 0.18 to 1.58
Source:Effluent Meter Readings-Monthly Report(2011—2017).
The downturn in overall volume is likely due to the drought and perhaps the Army Corp.of
Engineers retaining more water behind Prado Dam during the dry spell.Despite the
numerous diversion deactivation periods during the past winter's rain events (2016-2017),
only a slight increase occurred over the previous year.This trend will likely continue as the
Peters Canyon Pipeline Diversion settles in and the Mid Big Canyon and possibly the Delhi
Channel Diversions begin to contribute flow.
Over the past 18 years,OCSD has treated 9.0 billion gallons.OCSD expects to receive
between 350 and 600 million gallons per year if current discharge trends remain unchanged.

7.7.2.7 Nanomaterials in the Environment
Nanotechnology offers the potential for many useful and valuable commercial and
industrial products.Fabricating nanomaterials,however,can introduce nanoparticles and
associated processing catalysts,such as nickel, sliver,and cobalt,into wastewater.
Little is known about how the physical and chemical characterization of nanoparticles
relates to their bio-interactions and their potential environmental consequences.Scientists
are studying the human health risks associated with exposure to nanomaterials and the
potential ecotoxicity of their release to the environment. OCSD is interested in the findings
of this growing body of knowledge,since it will affect decision on controlling and managing
the introduction of nanoparticles into its sewer and wastewater treatment systems.
7.7.2.8 Low Effluent Discharge Flow to Ocean
Section 7.8.1.1 addresses toxicity with brine discharge at low flows. Below are challenges
and considerations for operating the outfall diffuser at these low flows.
Low flows increase the likelihood of seawater intrusion into diffuser ports and the resulting
bio-growth of sea life in the outfall.This can foul the outfall,affect diffuser fluid dynamics,
and potentially decrease capacity.
Consideration should be given to installing"red valves"to diffuser ports to both prevent sea
life intrusion and assist with diffusion from improved flow jetting. If red valves are
installed,they should be completed before flow is reduced to 30 mgd.
These valves were installed on other outfalls,specifically at Monterey Regional Water
Pollution Control Agency while implementing its water reuse program.
7.7.2.9 State Water Resources Control Board Outlook
The next California Ocean Plan update will likely revisit bacterial standards for water
contact. Bacterial standards for shellfish will likely remain.However,neither should be an
issue for OCSD because of its deep water outfall and submergence of the effluent field.
OCSD has also expressed some interest in future source identification of bacterial
contamination by DNA tracing. It has expressed some interest in future sediment toxicity
from ocean discharges as well.OCSD and the Southern California Coastal Water Research
Project(SCCWRP) are ahead of the curve on this issue.
Nature Protection Agencies(groups of international,government,or non-government
organizations) are looking at sediment quality issues that may affect standards and
potentially regulations.

7.7.3 Ongoing Flow Projection Issues
7.7.3.1 Expanded GVW Planning
The OCSD Board of Directors approved a new five-year Strategic Plan in November 2013
that identified water recycling as a strategic goal for the agency.OCSD recognizes the value
of enhancing water supply reliability in a time of persistent drought. Reusing this local
resource will support California's efforts to provide a safe,sustainable water supply.
OCWD is anticipating a final expansion of the GWRS.This expansion would require a total
flow from OCSD of approximately 175 mgd to produce 130 mgd of potable reuse water.
Through the SP-173 Effluent Reuse Study,OCSD hopes to understand what it must do to
prepare for the GWRS Final Expansion.By supporting the GWRS Final Expansion,OCSD
will be able to recycle a majority of the wastewater generated in its service area.
The SP-173 Effluent Reuse Study was performed to look at treatment plant and conveyance
modifications needed to support the GWRS Final Expansion. Modifications to evaluate
include investigating Plant No.2 as a water source for GWRS and the conveyance system
needed to deliver the water to GWRS.The balance of secondary effluent needed for the
AWTF Final Expansion will come from Plant No.2.To make this possible,five major
construction projects on OCSD property will be necessary.These projects are described in
the subsections below.
7.7.3.1.1 P2-122 Headworks MFdifications at Plant No.2
Currently,Plant No.2 receives domestic wastewater from the coastal and central Orange
County trunk lines. In addition to domestic wastewater,Plant No.2 also receives flows from
the Inland Empire Brine Line.This line,also known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor
(SARI)pipeline,accepts brine wastes from utilities and industries in the Santa Ana
Watershed.Because this water contains brine,concentrated waste streams,and effluent
from the Stringfellow site in Riverside County,the Division of Drinking Water permit does
not allow it to be used as source water for recycling through the AWTF to operate the
GWRS.
This project will modify the existing OCSD Plant 2 Headworks to dedicate the south half of
the Headworks to reclaimable flows and the north half to SARI and side-stream flows.Each
half of the Headworks will be isolated from the other by installing automated isolation gates
at key locations.A new 66-inch pipeline and flow meter vault will be constructed to bypass
the SARI and side-stream flows around the existing metering vault and screen influent
channel to a location upstream of the existing bar screens.
7.7.3.1.2 Plant water Pump Station Replacement
The Plant Water Pump Station Replacement,which is part of the Ocean Outfall System
Rehabilitation Project J-117,will relocate the existing Plant Water Pump Station.This pump
station takes its source water from the activated sludge(AS)treatment process and the
742 pw.\\QmAo\Acwrem\Ckm/CNIXSD'10339AONIktireabkO2017 l is Pba\ al r7MDFTP 2017-Pbrmg AnwWn d x
70PIA*M' IGASSV.PIYNS
144-inch SE pipe.After the GWRS Final Expansion,the AS treatment process will treat only
SARI and side-stream flows.
In addition,the 144-inch SE pipe will contain mainly brine from the GWRS RO process.As a
result,the existing Plant Water Pump Station will be relocated to a location more suitable
for receiving secondary effluent from the Trickling Filter-Solids Contact(TF-SC) treatment
process,which will treat domestic wastewater.
7.7.3.1.3 Plant 2 Effluent Punm Station Proiect
This project will construct the Plant 2 Effluent Pump Station to send approximately
50-55 mgd of secondary effluent from OCSD Plant 2 TF-SE process to the GWRS facility. The
preliminary pump station layout is estimated to be approximately 47 feet-by-100 feet,with a
three duty and one standby pump configuration.The four pumps will be 500-HP vertical
turbine pumps.The Plant 2 Effluent Pump Station will take secondary effluent from the
120-inch TF-SE pipeline and boost this flow into a new conveyance pipeline to the GWRS.
7.7.3.1.4 Plant 2 Flow Equalization Proiect
A 6-MG,above-grade flow equalization tank will be constructed to equalize secondary
effluent pumped from Plant No. 2 to Plant No. 1.In addition,two sets of flow-regulating
stations will be constructed to divert secondary effluent from Plant No.2 to the GWRS
pipeline. The other station will discharge water from the EQ tank back into the existing
buried secondary effluent system.
7.7.3.1.5 Sixty-Six Inch Interplant Five Rehabilitation Proiect
OCSD owns an unused 66-inch gravity reinforced concrete pipeline(RCP) that connects
Plant No.2 to Plant No. 1.This pipeline was constructed before 1965 and is no longer in
service.The pipeline alignment is approximately 3.6 miles from Plant No.2 to Plant 1.After
surveying the pipeline's interior,OCSD determined that the pipeline is no longer usable
with exposed rebar and deteriorating manholes.
To convey secondary effluent from Plant No.2 to the GWRS facility,OCSD will allow
OCWD to use the 66-inch existing pipeline and construction easement.To convert this aging
gravity RCP into a pressure pipeline so it can convey the effluent pump station discharge,it
will be rehabilitated using a trenchless pipe repair method.On the south,the new pipeline
will connect to the Plant 2 Effluent Pump Station,and on the north,it will connect to the
existing 904nch OCSD Secondary Effluent Junction Box No.6 (SEJB6) influent pipeline at
Plant No.1.

7.7.3.2 Upper Basin Flow Nknagement(SAWPA Coordinated Planning)—SARI Water
Quality for Reclamation
SARI dischargers must meet OCSD's established local discharge limits for heavy metals,
BOD,pH,total toxic organics,and pesticides.Table 7-25 lists the constituent limits
(established by OCSD)for discharge to the SARI.
In addition to the constituent limits identified in Table 7-24,untreated infectious waste is
prohibited.Any discharge of infectious waste must be rendered noninfectious before
discharge if the infectious waste poses a threat to public health and safety or will violate
applicable state and local waste discharge requirements. Current Upper Basin SARI flows
include a blend of domestic,highly saline industrial (some with a domestic component),and
desalter concentrate.

Notes:
1 OCSD Solids Loading Projection White Paper(2016).
The upper watershed is anticipated to eventually eliminate domestic dischargers to the
upper SARI. Current industrial dischargers are also expected to possibly have a domestic
waste component.This IMP assumed that industrial dischargers can eliminate domestic
connections to the SARI system. Once the domestic discharges are eliminated,the remaining
discharges are anticipated to include a combination of highly saline industrial wastewater
and concentrate from desalters.
Based on available information,the existing SARI flows could be characterized for certain
key constituents,assuming domestic dischargers are eliminated. If all current domestic
wastewater discharges were eliminated from the upper watershed,assuming an average
daily flow of about 15 mgd,the resulting blended wastewater quality immediately
upstream of the OCSD meter facility would change to the concentration levels identified in
Table 7-27.

As shown in Table 7-26,eliminating domestic discharges would reduce upper SARI BOD
and TSS concentrations. Conversely,TDS concentrations would increase,since the dilution
effects of the lower TDS domestic wastewater would no longer occur. Characterizing the
projected SARI flows is not possible due to the influence of the large volume of proposed
highly saline industrial dischargers.
Since the characterization of the projected industrial flow is unknown,characterizing the
blended saline industrial discharge and desalter concentrate is not possible.In the future,it
will also be important to continue to track and characterize what is concentrated in these
brines.This is particularly true if heavy industrial dischargers are located in the upper
watershed and groundwater desalination over marginal water supplies increase.

The California Department of Health Services(DHS)has not approved the SARI line as
source water for the GWRS because of the Stringfellow Treatment Plant effluent,dairy
wastewater,and other industrial wastes and brines. OCSD,OCWD,and SAWPA should
continue to work together to understand the issues with reclamation and the Ifndtation
associated with regulation for salt management in both Orange County and the upper
watershed.
7.7.3.3 Stormwater Flow Nimagement
The June 2005 Peak Flow Management Stormwater Master Plan,Project No.J-67,made
recommendations regarding policy and regulatory requirements,storm event design
criteria,and the development of a stormwater diversion implementation plan. Because of
this effort,engineering design guidelines were revised to design for a 25-year,2-hour storm.
Since then,the following projects were completed:P2-66 (Plant 2 Headworks),P2-90(Plant 2
Trickling Filters),P1-76 (Plant 1 Trickling Filters),P1-102(Plant 1 Activated Sludge No.2),
and GWRS.These projects demolished old structures and built new structures,radically
affecting the footprint and drainage areas at both plants.With these physical changes,a call
to reevaluate the plants' grading and drainage areas and to update the Stormwater Master
Plan is in order.
The existing OCSD stormwater policies,procedures,and practices are outdated and need to
be revised and further developed to align with the current NPDES permit requirements.The
numerous physical changes to plant facilities require reevaluating drainage and collection
facilities to avoid the potential for off-site runoff.Furthermore,all pump station facilities
need to be evaluated to ensure that all stormwater flows are captured and treated without
leaving the sites.
The Stormwater Master Plan,Project No.PS16-01,will update the 2005 Stormwater Master
Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. PS16-01 will reevaluate OCSD's
stormwater design standards,assess the capacity of stormwater drainage and collection
facilities in off-site pump stations and within the treatment plants,and recommend
improvements to ensure that facilities can handle the design peak flows.
7.7.3.4 Inflow and Infiltration
Sources of stormwater inflow falls under the following four categories:
1. Through openings in manhole covers.
2. Through roof vents that are part of waste and vent systems connecting to sewer
laterals.
3. Through other legally permitted connections to the sewer system,such as bulk
containment areas.
4. Through non-permitted(illegal)connections that can originate from various sources.

70 P�ASSIr.PIr3PS
Stormwater infiltration includes leakage of subsurface water into sewers and manholes from
both non-seasonal sources (such as groundwater infiltration) and seasonal sources(such as
storm events that lead inundating a portion of a sewer system by creating a localized
perched,subsurface water table).Non-seasonal water tables can vary with the Pacific
Ocean's tidal action. Seasonal (storm-related)infiltration is typically most pronounced in
areas subject to flooding.Infiltration and Inflow(I/I)in the collection system will be further
evaluated under PS13-08 Collection Capacity Evaluation Study.
Over the next few years,OCSD staff should collect and review the SSMPs from local
agencies to understand their approaches to addressing I/I issues in the local collection
systems. OCSD's Strategic Business Planning should continue to include strategies to
minimize I/I. In addition to continuing to attend the monthly WDRs Working Group,
which meets locally,.potential strategies could include the following:
• Pursuing region-wide grants from state and federal agencies.
• Providing support for local agencies to raise awareness and funding to support local
projects.
7.7.3.5 Sea Level Rise and Global Climate Change
Global climate change is predicted to cause thermal expansion of sea water,along with
partial melting of land-based glaciers and sea-ice,resulting in a rise of sea level.On
November 14,2008,Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued an executive order directing
state agencies to plan for sea level rise and climate impacts.Executive Order(EO)5-13-08
was initiated"to enhance the state's management of climate impacts from sea level rise,
increased temperatures,shifting precipitation and extreme weather events." Impacts from
climate change could include the following:
• Rising seas.The EO identifies seas rising 7 to 23 inches or more over the next
century.Such a rise could lead to the following impacts on OCSD facilities:
- Increased use of the short outfall due to increased head on the pumps,which
would affect the ocean outfall pumping systems.
- Potentially reduced capacity of the emergency weirs due higher ocean levels,
which would affect Santa Ana River Emergency discharge capacities,locations,
and elevations.).
• Severe droughts and more intense storms.These factors could increase influent
concentration and temperature,increasing odors and corrosion from the sulfide and
sulfuric acid generated from increased microbial activity. Chlorine residuals could
also be affected due to elevated temperatures.
In accordance with the Order,as new information becomes available,the impacts will be
assessed to identify any future improvements needed to ensure safe and reliable operations.
Although the WERF and EPA are currently performing work in this area,OCSD needs to
evaluate site-specific impacts and conduct vulnerability analysis as the information becomes

available.The results of these studies should provide OCSD with a wide variety of adaptive
actions to take to lessen or overcome the adverse effects of climate change.
Some suggested long-term planning,engineering standards,and infrastructure design
actions that may mitigate the anticipated impacts of climate change on OCSD include:
• Encouraging water conservation.
• Increasing water recycling.
• Utilizing energy-efficient treatment technologies.
• Encouraging the use of green energy.
• Optimizing the use of digester gas as an energy source.
• Incorporating other waste in digester feedstock.
7.7.3.6 Climate Change/Environmental Footprint Initiative
Global climate change is gaining considerable interest from both the public and
policymakers. In response,OCSD initiated a Climate Change Initiative. As a public agency
chartered with the mission to protect public health and the environment,OCSD should
demonstrate leadership in this area.
Moreover,wastewater operations consume large amounts of energy and produce
greenhouse gases(GHG). Despite scientific disagreements on climate change,policymakers
are addressing the issue.OCSD has many opportunities to also address these issues and
shrink our environmental footprint.This initiative has the following goals:
• Calculate the environmental footprint of OCSD's facilities.
• Develop outreach materials describing green initiatives undertaken by OCSD.
• Evaluate additional initiatives for the OCSD Board to consider.
• Evaluate information from OCSD's research program on emerging green
technologies.
• Maximize the use of renewable fuels (digester gas).
OCSD is currently working on a Climate Resiliency Study to study the impacts of storm
surges,sea level rise,flood inundation,high tides,etc. on our facilities.The study will also
conduct a vulnerability assessment for existing infrastructure and provide design
recommendations for future design projects.

7.7.4 Ongoing BiosolidsIssues
7.7.4.1 Reactivation and Regrowth in Biosohds
Testing for indicator organisms,such as fecal coliform and salmonella,is commonly used as
a surrogate for the presence of pathogen in biosolids.In the early 2000s,some utilities
reported substantial increases in the densities of indicator organisms following dewatering
with high-solids centrifuges. In 2006, the Water Environment Research Foundation(WERF)
funded initial research to investigate observations of fecal coliform regrowth in centrifuge
dewatered biosolids(Higgins 2006a).
Of the seven facilities biosolids cake was sampled from,four indicated signs of possible
bacterial reactivation and suggested that high solids centrifuges might be the culprit.Due to
the small sample size,no statistically significant conclusions could be drawn.However,the
results suggested that thermophilic treatment could have caused bacteria to enter a non-
culturable state,but could be"reactivated" during storage. Once reactivated,these
reactivated bacteria could experience"regrowth" in the biosolids,triggering an increase in
indicator organism levels.The phenomenon of regrowth was considered separate from the
phenomenon of a sudden increase of bacteria(increase in densities by as much as
10,000 times).
Subsequent research funded by WERF proposed that,using the standard EPA methodology,
the enumeration of fecal coliform post-digestion was not accurate, and that the dewatering
processes changed conditions such that bacteria were culturable.Thus,the phenomenon of
a sudden increase was an enumeration error and was principally related to fecal coliform
and E. coli (though not salmonella),not necessarily the pathogens themselves. In other
words,while conformance to the time-temperature regime specified by 40 CFR 503 might be
adequate for inactivating actual pathogens such as salmonella,it might not be adequate for
indicator organisms like fecal coliform,which may enter a non-culturable state.Generally
speaking,a significant increase was not observed for mesophilically digested biosolids.
The WERF researchers postulated that the reactivation mechanism was particular to high
solids dewatering because centrifuge dewatering allowed for proteins and other
bioavailable substrates to be released,enhancing bacterial growth, and odorous byproducts
to form (Higgins 2006,2008).
Subsequent research evaluated the effects of wastewater treatment processes on odors,
significant increase,and regrowth (Higgins 2015).OCSD was an active participant in the
Technical Advisory Committee for this final phase of research.The 2015 research had
several findings with respect to both odors and regrowth:
• For mesophilically digested biosolids,odor production generally spiked within the
first 24 hours and then rapidly dropped off.Persistent odor compounds tended to
develop after storage times of 20 to 30 days and again dropped off after about
100 days of storage.
pn.\\QmAo\Acwrem\Ckm/CNOCSD'103391ONRhre Wb 017 A. P6Uap r7 MDM 2017-PhnnhgA 5wg6a d x 7J
70PIA*M' IGASSV.PIYNS
• A single TPAD facility was evaluated with two digesters in series. This facility did
seem to show signs of sudden increase after centrifuge dewatering.
• Odors from mesophilic digestion were generally comparable to that of the TPAD
plant sampled.
• In general,better digestion yielded a lower odor cake.
• Parallel research conducted at the University of Arizona showed that at land
application sites,the risk from regrowth tends to be low(Zaleski et al.2005,Gerba et
al.2008).Land application practices,such as rapid incorporation,can help with
mitigating regrowth/promoting bacterial die-off. Introducing moisture,such as rain
on field-stored piles,can allow for regrowth.
While the mechanisms for reactivation and regrowth are now generally understood,and it
is believed that the Class B site restrictions protect public health even when regrowth is
experienced,the data for TPAD is extremely limited and no quantitative conclusions can be
drawn for impact of centrifuge dewatering on TPAD-digested biosolids. OCSD may wish to
collaborate with others pursuing TPAD,such as San Francisco and San Jose,to evaluate best
practices for TPAD digestion systems.
7.7.5 Ongoing Air Quality Issues
7.7.5.1 NO$WCs and CO Nhnagement
Rule 1110.2 regulates NOX,VOCs,and CO emissions from single-point sources. It applies
primarily to the Cengen engines at Plant No.1 and No. 2. On February 1,2008,SCAQMD
adopted amendments to Rule 1110.2 that include reducing NOX,VOCs,and CO emissions
and improving monitoring,recordkeeping,and reporting requirements for stationary and
portable internal combustion engines over 50 brake horse power(bhp) that operate
200 hours per year or more.
To address the SCAQMD Rule 1110.2,OCSD implemented the Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR)project.With this Wile,Air Quality Management Districts (AQMD)regulations are not
expected to lead to additional projects in the foreseeable future.However,AQMD has
drafted an Air Quality Management Plan that will more closely evaluate NOX emissions
from mobile sources. This could affect portable generators used for collection system
standby power. Emergency standby generator emissions during generator exercising are
also a concern. To reduce emissions during exercising,OCSD may look into technology
improvements.
7.7.5.2 Sulfide and Odor Control
Currently,OCSD falls under Title V facility requirements. However,OCSD is on the verge
of coming out of Title V classification because it is implementing the SCR project.However,
volatile organic compound (VOC)emissions,which are not currently included in the Title V

inventory,could be included in the future.This could result in continued Title V
classification.

8.0 End of Life Assessment
8.1 Overview
This chapter presents the methodology for and results of the end-of-life assessment conducted
for the 2017 Master Plan.An end-of-life assessment is essentially an estimate of when a
particular asset,facility,or process will fail to serve its intended purpose or perform its
intended function.To restore its intended function,the asset typically requires major
rehabilitation,expansion,or replacement.
The main purpose of the end-of-life assessment is to predict and plan for projects that will need
to be implemented over the Master Plans 20-year planning period.Estimating end of life often
involves assessing various modes of failure,since facilities often provide multiple or different
functions.The failure modes applicable to Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)facilities
and evaluated in this chapter are:
1. Condition-based 2. Capacity-based
3. Redundancy-based 4. Regulations-based
5. Initiative-based 6. Health and Safety-based
7. Seismic-based
Each of mode of failures will have an attributed end of life that corresponds to a Likelihood of
Failure(LoF) score.These scores are on a scale of one to five,shown in Table 8-1,and were
assigned as follows:
• A score of one was assigned to a facility/process area with an estimated remaining
useful life of 20 years or greater.
• A score of two was assigned to a facility/process area with an estimated remaining
useful life of 16 to 20 years.A score of three was assigned to a facility/process area with
an estimated remaining useful life of 11 to 15 years.
• A score of four was assigned to a facility/process area having an estimated remaining
useful life of 6 to 10 years.
• A score of five was assigned to a facility/process area having a remaining useful life of 0
to 5 years.
Each of mode of failure and the methodology to develop LoF scores are addressed in more
detail in Technical Memorandum 6-Project Identification and Prioritization Methodology,
contained in Appendix A,with the approach and results summarized in this chapter.

8.2 Condition Assessment
A condition assessment was performed for the collection system and for a number of OCSD's
aging treatment facilities.This assessment was done to determine the physical condition of the
facilities relative to when they will likely need rehabilitation or replacement to continue to
provide reliable service.
For condition assessments of Plant No. 1 and No.2 facilities and for collection system pump
stations,an inspection team conducted physical site visits of select older facilities. For the
collection system sewer lines, the condition assessment involved analyzing OCSUs closed
circuit television(CCTV)inspection data.
As part of its ongoing collection system condition assessment program,OCSD periodically
inspects its trunk line collection system using CCTV contractors. The contractors use the
National Association of Sewer Service Companies' (NASSCO)Pipeline Assessment and
Certification Program(PACP) coding to record observations and defects during the inspections.
The PACP results,provided by OCSD,and associated videos were used to evaluate the
condition of the collection system pipes. The data was then used to develop condition-based
LoF scores.
8.2.1 Physical Site Msits Condition Assessment Process
A total of 23 facilities were scheduled for a site visit and physical condition assessment;14 plant
facilities and 9 collection system pump stations.The 23 facilities were selected based on their
age.These facilities represent older facilities that may need rehabilitation or replacement over
the next 20 years.Facilities recently constructed or rehabilitated and facilities already scheduled
for rehabilitation or replacement were not included.The inspection team generally included a
team leader,structural lead,mechanical process lead,civil lead,and an electrical lead.
The following steps were taken to conduct the OCSD facilities condition assessment:
1. Review current and future projects to determine which assets were not already being
assessed or considered for rehabilitation and replacement.
8-2 MSDFW 2017-E oFl Poatyn,. x
&OE GFMASSMSt
2. Using the OCSD Job Index maps and OCSD Project Library, gather available record
drawings that pertained to facilities selected for assessment.
3. Set up data collection workshops with OCSD to gather information about rehabilitation
and replacement history.Discuss new or unresolved issues from the 2009 Facilities
Master Plan and consider them for the condition assessment work.
8.2.1.1 Research and Ivhterial Preparation for Site Visits
To facilitate note taking and provide effective and coordinated site visits,a scorecard was
prepared for each facility.A scorecard is a document prepared using a matrix that lists all
components within the facility and relevant information on the components.The scorecard also
contains a column to enter scores assigned using visual assessment.Scorecards include the
following information:
• Facility and components • Description
• Year Built • Original Project
• Useful Life(SP-151) • Rehab Cycle(SP-151)
• Rehab Project • Year Since Last Rehab
• Estimated Remaining Useful Life (RUL) • Field Adjusted RUL
The first column provides the facility name and location and lists major and support
components within each discipline.In the"Description' column,specific details on facility
components are listed.For instance,when assessing pump stations,information includes pump
horsepower,capacity,and total dynamic head. The"Year Built" column lists the year stamped
on the record drawings for the components constructed.
The"Original Project' column lists the OCSD project number that corresponds to the record
drawings and to the components they were constructed under. In the"Useful Life(SP-151)"
column,the theoretical useful life of the component(in years) was listed as provided in the 2012
asset management study:Project No.SP-151,Asset Management Useful Lives.In the"Rehab
Cycle (SP-151)" Column,the expected rehabilitation cycle length of the component(in years)
was listed as provided in the 2012 asset management study:Project No.SP-151,Asset
Management Useful Lives.
The"Rehab Project' column lists the OCSD Project Number under which any rehabilitation
work was completed for that particular component.The"Years Since Last Rehab"column lists
the number of years since the last rehabilitation project was completed.If no rehabilitations had
been performed,the"years since original construction'was listed instead.
In the"Estimated Remaining Useful Life Column,the number of years left to either replace or
rehabilitate the component(whichever comes first) was listed. Numbers with parenthesis
indicated that the component was overdue for either a replacement or rehabilitation for the
number of years indicated.

8.2.1.2 SP-151RUL—Reference Used to Estimate Asset Life
Under the SP-151 project,the TEAMPlan model used to forecast renewal (rehabilitation and
replacement) capital funding needs was reviewed and validated.The model includes a broad
listing of OCSD asset classes maintained by OCSD.For each asset class,the model includes the
count of the particular asset class, the value assigned to the class,the expected useful life,and
the rehabilitation frequency before the asset reaches the end of its useful life.
The Project No.SP-151 study includes recommendations that were used to populate the
estimated useful life of each equipment assessed in the field during the site visits.For more
details on this study,refer to Appendix D.
8.2.1.3 Record Drawings
Record drawings relevant to the facilities scheduled for visitation were obtained from the OCSD
Job-Index Maps for Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2(updated August 2011) and data collection
workshops.Information gathered from the record drawings include the year the facility was
constructed,the year the equipment was installed,and the equipment installed,as well as its
quantity and location.Using this information, the scorecards were prepared to assess the overall
facilities/systems.
8.2.1.4 2009 Facilities M3sterPlan
The 2009 Facilities Master Plan was also referenced to identify all issues that OCSD logged for
any facility.Those issues were checked to determine if they had been resolved or were
outstanding.A list of outstanding issues was provided for the field visit to analyze further with
the OCSD operations staff.

8.2.1.5 Component Scoring
Components received scores on a scale of one to five.These scores were assigned during each
site visit,based on OCSD operations staff's input and visual inspections while in the facility.
The scores were assigned as follows:
• A score of one was assigned to a component with an estimated remaining useful life of
20 years or greater.
• A score of two was assigned to a component with an estimated remaining useful life of
16 to 20 years.
• A score of three was assigned to a component with an estimated remaining useful life of
11 to 15 years.
• A score of four was assigned to a component with an estimated remaining useful life of
6to 10 years.
• A score of five was assigned to a component with a remaining useful life of 0 to 5 years.
As mentioned previously,a score of one assigned to equipment meant that the equipment could
still function as intended for at least another 20 years.With this rating,the equipment fell
outside the 20-year Capital Improvement Program(CIP) timeline.This assessment was
documented for record keeping and for future reference purposes.
8.2.1.6 'Theoretical RUL vs Field Adjusted RUL
The theoretical RUL ("Estimated Remaining Useful Life' column)was the calculated RUL for
equipment in the SP-151 study.The field-adjusted RUL was a separate score given to
equipment after the visual inspection was completed and OCSD operations staff provided
commentary and answered any questions the inspection team had before,during,or after the
site visit.
For example,after completing the record drawing research and referring to the SP-151 study,a
component may have been assigned an estimated RUL of ten years,which would be a score of
three.However,during the field assessment,the equipment was estimated to remain functional
longer. Thus,the field adjusted RUL score could be changed to reflect the field assessment,such
as a score of two. This meant the equipment had an adjusted RUL of 15 to 20 years.

Site visits included visual inspections,interviews,and commentary provided by OCSD
operations and maintenance(O&M) staff. Site visits did not include testing or sampling.Site
visits were conducted in the following sequence:
1. The inspection team reviewed previous recorded issues and current and future OCSD
projects with OCSD O&M staff that were relevant to the facility site visit.This discussion
was held prior to visual inspections of the facility.
2. OCSD O&M staff participated in the inspection and provided further insight to issues
discussed in the pre-site visit meeting.The inspection team visually inspected the facility
and recorded notes in the appropriate section of the scorecard.
3. After the visual inspection and walk-through with OCSD O&M staff,the inspection team
gathered to discuss scores given to all components.
4. A consensus was made on the consistency of scores for each component.
5. A master scorecard was created to reflect the consensus outcome of the visual inspection
and discussion.
8.2.1.8 Condition-based likelihood of Failure (LoF)Score based on Site Visits
Using engineering judgment,OCSD O&M staff input,knowledge of the facilities,and the
individual equipment scores,a facility/process area was assigned an overall score that
positioned it on the 20-year CIP timeline.This score was referred to as the condition-based
Likelihood of Failure score,or LoF score.More detailed information on the scoring
methodology can be referenced in Technical Memorandum 6-Project Identification and
Prioritization Methodology,contained in Appendix A.
8.2.1.9 Results of Site Visits Assessment
This section summarizes the results of the assessments.Recommendations considered the
following factors:scores assigned during site visits,other OCSD current and future project
scopes,OCSD O&M staff input,and whether replacing components/systems under OCSD's
maintenance program was an option.For a detailed assessment scorecard on the facilities
visually assessed,refer to Appendix E.
8.2.1.9.1 Central Generation(CenGen)at Plant 1
Overall,Plant 1 CenGen was in sound structural condition.Due to the nature of the CenGen
Facility,many large equipment and process loops have been rebuilt or are part of a regular
maintenance program.A future project will be needed to address the overall CenGen Facility,
particularly the equipment that is too large to be rebuilt through regular maintenance.
The electrical process and distribution equipment was in excellent condition.The 12-kV feeders
and switchgear will be replaced under a future project. No operational issues were identified.

8.2.1.9.2 CenGen at Plant 2
Similar to the Plant 1 CenGen,the Plant 2 CenGen was in structurally sound condition. Due to
the nature of the CenGen Facility,many large equipment and process loops have been rebuilt or
are part of a regular maintenance program. A future project will be needed to address the
overall CenGen Facility,particularly the equipment that is too large to be rebuilt through
regular maintenance.
The electrical process and distribution equipment was in excellent condition,except for the
alternators and the 12-kV feeders and switchgear.This equipment is part of a replacement
project scheduled to start in early 2022.No operational issues were identified.
8.2.1.9.3 City Water Pump Station at Plant 1
The Plant 1 City Water Pump Station is still in very good structural condition 25 years after its
original construction.
The existing pumps have been rehabilitated and are performing adequately and as designed.
The ventilation system showed no issues with its performance.The 10-inch Gty water pipe
showed signs of possible corrosion. As a result,a condition assessment of its interior is highly
recommended.
Electrical process and distribution equipment were in good shape,and no operational issues
were identified.
8.2.1.9.4 City Water Pump Station at Plant 2
The Plant 2 City Water Pump Station is still in very good structural condition 22 years after its
original construction.
The existing pumps in this pump station have had repair work done and are not experiencing
any operational issues.All pumps performed as designed,and the ventilation system showed
no issues with its condition.Electrical process and distribution equipment were in good shape,
and no operational issues were identified.
However,the 12-inch City Water suction piping and air break tanks showed significant
corrosion at the joints on the suction header and base of the tank,respectively.
8.2.1.9.5 Plant Water Pump Station at Plant 1
The Plant 1 Plant Water Pump Station showed signs of deterioration,specifically settlement and
cracking of structural slabs.The containment walls around the transformers me also cracking

The pumps in this pump station are routinely rehabilitated through regular maintenance.All
pumps performed adequately and as designed.The pump station's ventilation system showed
no issues with its condition;however, there were vibration and noise issues.Thus,a heat load
study for the HVAC system is highly recommended.
Major plant water piping within the Plant Water Pump Station was in good condition overall
and showed no signs of corrosion.A reclaimed water line within the pump station was leaking
onto a plant water line,which could cause corrosion if left unprotected.An OCSD O&M staff
accompanying the Condition Assessment Team was notified of the leaking pipe.
Electrical process and distribution equipment were in good shape,and no operational issues
were identified.
8.2.1.9.6 Pricnary Clarifiers 6-31
PCs 6-31 require rehabilitation. Issues identified in the field include cracking on the south wall,
no drainage on roof,floor drain problems causing drainage to collect in the stairwells,
accumulation of grit in the center feed channel,and the center feed channel not being
maintenance friendly. The effluent distribution box manhole for PCs 16-31 has corrosion,no
odor control,and no venting.An inspection of this manhole is recommended.
Channel air blowers for PCs 645 are aged and are approaching the end of their useful life.The
life expectancy of the channel air blowers for PCs 16-31 can be increased with increased air
ventilation.
Clarifier mechanisms for PCs 6-31 also require rehabilitation.The chains and components are
failing and are due for replacement.For PCs 6-31,effluent and influent gates and the scum gates
are old,and most are not actuated as preferred by O&M.Lastly,PCs 6-15 experienced failures
in the coatings on the primary effluent piping,and PCs 16-31 me experiencing corrosion and
groundwater intrusion in the foul air piping.
8.2.1.9.7 Primary influent Sufitter Box(PISBI
The PISB in PCs 6-31 are generally in good structural condition however,Project No. P1-126
will involve structural repairs for concrete necessary to extend the useful life of the structure.
PISB launders are unlined and are in poor condition; one launder has shattered,and there is
poor odor control.
PISB issues highlighted by OCSD's O&M staff include the inlet gates leak,do not seat properly,
and are not exercised regularly,and the scum removal does not work effectively.Furthermore,
the east side of PCs 6-15 was not available at the time of inspection.To confirm capacity, a
hydraulic calculation is needed.

8.2.1.9.8 Primary Sludge 6-31
The Primary Sludge Gallery for PCs 6-31 requires rehabilitation. The Primary Sludge Gallery
experiences similar issues as PCs 6-31,which include cracking on the south wall,no drainage on
roof,floor drain problems causing drainage to collect in the stairwell,accumulation of grit in
the center feed charmel,and the center feed charmel not being maintenance-friendly.
PCs 6-15 sludge pumps me approaching the end of their useful life expectancy and should be
studied under Project No.P1-101 to meet the needs of the new sludge thickening facility.The
westside sludge pumps in PCs 16-31 are approaching the end of their useful life,and the scum
pumps have exceeded their life expectancy,so adding a standby pump is recommended.These
pumps also lack redundancy.The eastside sludge pumps in PCs 16-31 were replaced in 2015
under Project No.P1-124.Scum piping for PCs 6-31 has exceeded its useful life expectancy,and
maintenance is increasingly needed.
8.2.1.9.9 Trickling Filters at Plant No. 1
The Trickling Filters at Plant No. 1 have no major structural issues.Some mechanical issues
highlighted during the site visit include distributor drive lip seals that do not seal and have
accessibility issues,media that seems to get over heated,and condensate that leaks from
ventilation fans,causing water to puddle.Because of these issues,an inspection of the media is
recommended.
The trickling filter pump station was operating well;however,snails were present,which could
damage the trickling filter feed pumps.The life expectancy of these pumps could be
significantly increased with proper snail control.
The sludge/scum pump station did not experience any major issues overall,except that the
scum pumps are undersized and are not being used. An evaluation is recommended to
determine whether the existing pumps have sufficient capacity and the ventilation provisions
require modification or removal.
The process-bearing structures for the Trickling Filter Clarifiers at Plant No.1 are in excellent
condition.The major collector system is experiencing normal wear and tear and has an expected
RUL of approximately 10 years.Occasionally,birds could enter the clarifiers and cause damage,
and an engineered solution may be needed to prevent this.
8.2.1.9.10 Activated Sludge (AS-1)at Plant 1
The blowers located in the AS-1 facility require frequent maintenance,and OCSD O&M staff
experiences problems with replacement parts because of the age of the blowers.Air handling
units are serviceable,but are approaching the end of their useful life.VFD/soft starts in all
equipment should be replaced,since they are also approaching the end of their useful life.

8.2.2 CCIVInspection Condition Assessment Process
OCSD collection system pipelines were evaluated using CCTV inspections conducted primarily
between 2009 and 2016(95 percent).The inspections cover sewer pipes ranging from 8 to 84
inches in diameter.A total of 303 miles of CCTV data was reviewed,which encompasses 83
percent of OCSD collection system pipelines.
CCTV data was reviewed by PACP certified personnel.This review focused on structural
category defects and other defect codes that could indicate renewal or repair needs.The
collection pipelines condition assessment went through five stages: (1) Quality
Assessment/Quality Control Review (QA/QC) of CCTV data; (2) Collections System-CCTV
Data Review; (3) CCTV Data Cleansing; (4)Pipe Scoring;(5) Analysis.
8.2.2.1 Quality Assessment/Quality Control Review
OCSD provided a set of CCTV inspection data for approximately 84 miles of its large diameter
collection system pipes.Data were provided as digital videos and NASSCO-PACP coding in 5
Microsoft Access databases.NASSCO's PACP is the North American Standard for pipeline
defect identification and assessment,providing standardization and consistency to the methods
used to identify,evaluate,and manage pipeline conditions.
An independent QA/QC of approximately 10 percent of the CCTV data was performed to
determine the overall level of variance between the original inspection results and the QA/QC.
This was done to determine if the NASSCO-PACP coding accurately represented the CCTV
inspection.
The QA/QC of the data sample determined that the variance between the NASSCO-PACP
coding and the results of the QA/QC were within an acceptable range.It was therefore
concluded that the remaining the data could be used to assess the condition of the pipelines.For
more information on the approach used to review CCTV data,refer to the CCTV Data Sample
Quality Assessment/Quality Control Review Technical Memorandum No.4 in Appendix A.
8.2.2.2 Collections System—CCI'VData Review
OCSD provided CCTV inspection data for approximately 208 miles of collection system pipes,
in addition to the previously supplied 84 miles,for a total of 292 miles of CCTV data,shown in
Figure 8-1. The data listed approximately 53,000 defects for approximately 7000 surveys
conducted from October 1984 to December 2016.
The data was provided in the form of NASSCO-PACP coding from approximately
1,100 Microsoft Access databases.It was imported into InfoMaster for initial analysis.

8.2.2.3 CCTV Data Cleansing
Initial analysis of the 208 miles of collection system pipes showed numerous duplicate records
of the same section of pipes conducted over several years.To remove duplicates,a cleansing of
the data was initiated by selecting the latest rendition of the pipes' CCTV data.The difference in
the previously mentioned total of 303 miles and 292 miles was because approximately nine
miles of outdated CCTV inspections were removed from the database.
The rigorous refinement of the data from approximately 1,100 databases in numerous file
formats required engineering judgment and assumptions. This might have resulted in a final
database of the collection system that,in some cases, differs from actual field conditions.As
OCSD conducts additional CCTV evaluations,the quality of the database information should
improve and eliminate these differences.
8.2.2.4 Condition-based LoF Score based on CCTVInspection
8.2.2.4.1 Ivbdification to PACP Defect Classes
NASSCO-PACP coding was modified and used by InfoMaster to score pipe segments.The
methodology of modifying codes is described in OCSD Collection System CCTV Data Sample
Quality Assessment/Quality Control Review Technical Memorandum No.4 in Appendix A.
The assessment of all CCTV data also had defect codes in the established table of codes listed in
Table 2 of TM 1 CCTV Data Sample Quality Assessment/Quality Control Review. The updated
table is shown in Table 8-3.

8.2.2.4.2 Scoring Nkthod
InfoMaster uses the defect codes to generate defect scores from 1 through 5 for each pipe
segment. (The higher number is,the more serious the defects.)Each pipe segment could have
multiple defect scores depending on the number of defects listed in the NASSCO-PACP coding
data for the corresponding pipe segment.Even with the criterion of creating defect scores,there
are still multiple ways to develop an overall score for a pipe segment.In this assessment four
scoring methods were analyzed:
• Peak Score-The pipe defect with the highest score is selected to represent the entire
pipe segment.
• Total Score-This is the sum of all defect scores.
• Rating Index-This is the average score of all defects.
• Quick Score-This is a summary score of the defect score and a count of the two highest
defect scores.
Table 8-4 shows each scoring methodology and its corresponding advantages and
disadvantages.Given the advantages a Quick Score had over the other methods for this
particular collection system,it was the method of choice for this assessment.
TABLE 84
Pire Scoring Nkthodoloev Advantages and Disadvantages
Score Type Advantages Disadvantages
Peak Score Highlights highest defects • Not every peak defect warrants a project, may
• Clear category differentiation(5,4,etc.) need spot repairs
• A single score may not best define the entire pipe
Total Score Considers all defects • Longer pipes4higher scores
• More representative of an entire pipe • Lots of is and 2s 4higher scores
• No defined category differentiation
Rating Considers all defects • Longer pipes-)lower scores
Index • Averages can be skewed(low scores bring down
average)
Quick Score . Focuses on highest defects and quantity • Only looks at two highest defect scores
• Provides more insight than Peak Score • No defined category differentiation
After the quick score methodology was used to generate an overall score for a segment,the final
product was four numbers that represented the quantity of defects of the two highest defect
scores (e.g.,4523 signifies 5 defects with a score of 4 and 3 defects with a score of 2).A final
grouping was commenced to classify the quick scores as one number ranging from 1 through 5
(similar to the LoF score used for the plant facilities and lift stations).This grouping was done
with the notion that the greater the number of severe defects (4s and 5s),the greater the
likelihood of failure,and the closer to the end of useful life.Table 8-5 summarizes this approach.

8.3 Capacity Assessment
The capacities of OCSD treatment facilities were compared with the projected future flows and
loads. This was done to determine if the existing treatment capacities are sufficient or if capacity
expansion projects are necessary over the 20-year planning period.
The design capacity of the treatment processes were assumed to be the current capacities of
each process area(e.g.,primary treatment,secondary treatment,solids handling,etc.).
Population projections were determined from the Center for Demographic Research's(CDR)
population trend data for the Orange County Projection. Population growth in the areas
tributary to Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 were projected to 2035,and the "per capita loading"
method was then used to project flows,biochemical oxygen demand(BOD),and total
suspended solids(TSS),per the OCSD's Planning Basis for Flow and Loadings 2016.
8.3.1 Hydraulic Capacity Assessment
Annual average influent flows and peak wet weather flows to Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 were
projected from 2016 to 2035. The methodology used to develop these projections is found in
Chapter 7 of this FW.The ultimate hydraulic capacity of Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 was based
on the process area with the lowest hydraulic capacity,referred to as the hydraulic bottleneck.
The hydraulic bottleneck for Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 was potentially in three process areas:
the Headworks, the primary clarifiers,or the secondary treatment system.
Table 8-7 shows the rated hydraulic capacities of each process area and the rated PW WF
capacity for each plant.Figure 8-3 shows the current and peak influent flow projections and the
potential hydraulic bottlenecks for combined Plant No.1 and Plant No.2.
As part of Project P1-105 Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No.1,a hydraulic evaluation was
performed. The findings were that for the PW WF of 320 mgd,the maximum permissible flow to
PC 6-31 through the two 90-inch primary influent pipelines is 254 mgd.This is based on fully
opened weir gates at the Primary Influent Splitter Boxes and submerged weirs to maximize the
hydraulic capacity of the Headworks,and a minimal freeboard of 18 inches(as measured from
the top deck) at the grit basin influent channel.
For the PW WF, the balance of flow(66 mgd)needs to be routed to PCs 1-5.This represents the
minimum hydraulic capacity for the future primary clarifiers,which will be designed and
constructed under Project No.P1-126.To calibrate the model,the evaluation recommended
performing field hydraulic testing to simulate a peak design flow event during final design.
Table 8-7 and Figure 8-3 conclude that the current hydraulic capacities for OCSD exceed the
flows projected to 2035.For both plants,the Headworks is the hydraulic bottleneck,with a
combined peak capacity of 660 mgd influent flow.

8.3.2 Loading Capacity Assessment
In addition to hydraulics,the capacity of a treatment plant can also be limited by its ability to
treat the influent loading.In OCSD's case,the influent characteristics affecting the plants'
capacities are BOD and TSS.The main treatment processes affected by influent BOD and TSS
loading are Secondary Treatment and Solids Handling.
8.3.2.1 Influent BOD and TSS Loading Projections
The projected influent BOD and TSS loadings to Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 from 2016 to 2035
are presented in figure 7.6.The projections were developed based on per pounds per capita per
day(ppcd)values,with a max month peaking based on historical data.
8.3.2.2 Secondary Treatment Loading Capacity Assessment
The existing secondary treatment loading capacities for Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 processes
are presented in Chapter 3 and 4 and summarized in Table 8-8.

Notes:
Current facilities BOD and TSS capacities were determined from facilities descriptions located in Chapter 3 and 4.
Before comparing the loading capacities from Table 8-6 with the loading projections,the impact
of the primary clarifiers need to be considered.To assess capacity,we assumed that the primary
clarifiers effectively remove about 60 percent of BOD and 75 percent of TSS from the plant
influent.These numbers are lower than the current primary clarifiers presented in Chapters 3
and 4.
Figure 8-4 summarizes the projected BOD and TSS loadings to the secondary treatment for 2016
through 2035 and the Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 secondary treatment capacities.As shown,the
existing secondary treatment facilities have adequate capacity to handle the projected loadings.

8.3.2.3 Solids Handling Loading Capacity Assessment
Refer to the 2017 Biosolids Master Plan(PS15-01)for the solids handling loading assessment for
Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2. Based on the evaluations conducted while developing the Biosolids
Master Plan(BMP),both Plant No. 1 and No.2 have sufficient capacity to meet 2035 loading
criteria from a regulatory perspective(i.e.,15-day solids retention time [SRT]).However,the
OCSD O&M group prefers maintaining a 17-day SRT with two digesters out of the service.
Thus,this capacity criteria was considered when planning for major improvements at both
plants for the BMP.
For Plant No. 1,the recent P1-100 and P1-101 projects have improved the digester and
thickening/dewatering facilities;thus,capacity is not driving any additional modifications
within the 20-year planning period.For Plant No.2,seismic vulnerability,structural condition,
and mechanical equipment are at the end of useful life,thus becoming key drivers for the
proposed BMP improvements.

8.3.3 Capacity-based LoF Scoring
A capacity-based Lop score would be generated if future projections of influent flows and/or
loads require additional capacity at Plant No.1 and Plant No.2.This score would indicate the
end of useful life of a particular process area or facility that could not handle the projected flows
and/or loads. The score would also indicate where the process area or facility would be
expected to fail on the 20-year OF timeline,in terms of handling influent flows and/or loads,
and would thus require expansion or replacement. Refer to Technical Memorandum 6-Project
Identification and Prioritization Methodology,contained in Appendix A for a more detailed
scoring methodology for the capacity assessment.
8.3.4 Collection System Capacity Analysis
The collection system capacity assessment is being completed as part of the Collections
Capacity Evaluation Study (PS15-08). Although this information was not available while the
FMP was being developed,OCSD should amend the results presented in this chapter with the
outcomes of that analysis.
8.4 Redundancy Assessment
This FMP's existing facility end-of-life assessment considers OCSD's general
reliability/redundancy criteria for collections system,treatment plant mechanical and electrical
equipment,and process systems.These criteria were used to evaluate existing facilities and
were considered when identifying future facility needs.
The reliability/redundancy criteria are based on regulatory requirements and OCSD policies.
Facilities have to perform reliably to meet treatment objectives under normal operating
conditions and special conditions that can reasonably be anticipated.This includes planned and
unplanned shutdowns for maintenance and repair,as well as operational upsets,power
failures,and special flow conditions.
8.4.1 Results of Redundancy Assessment
8.4.1.1 IvF Backwash from OCWDat Plant 1
Several primary treatment replacement projects are planned at Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 (Pl-
126 and P2-98). Implementing these projects will require taking some of the primary clarifiers in
Plant 1 and Plant 2 off-line,which will diminish primary treatment capacity for several years
while the projects are completed.Plant No. 1 MF backwash from the OCWD Ground Water
Replenishment System(GWRS)is returned to the Plant No. 1 Clarifiers 6-31,occupying capacity
in some of the clarifiers.
Assessments of the primary treatment process determined that relocating MF Backwash from
OCWD to primary effluent at Plant No. 1 would reduce hydraulic loading to PCs 6-31 and
mitigate the loss in redundancy while the primary treatment projects are implementing at Plant

No. 1 and Plant No.2.The end of life assessment of this relocation produced the highest score
of 5 (implementation in 1-5 years),since this project is a prerequisite for both Plant No.1 and
Plant No. 2 future primary treatment projects.
8.4.1.2 SCE Feed at Plant 2
Plant No. 2 has a single 66-kV power feed from Southern California Edison(SCE).Currently,
the only secondary electrical power source for Plant No.2 is the Central Generation Facility
(CenGen),which cannot supply enough power for all Plant No.2 facilities.OCSD's reliability
criteria call for two sources of power supply.Having a second 66-kV feed will also improve the
plant reliability and mitigate the chances of having to shut down key facilities because they
cannot supply electrical power.
To meet the reliability criteria,SCE will need to provide a second 66-kV power feed to a new
OCSD substation.This can likely be achieved within the next 6-10 years and was assigned an
LoF score of 4(implementation in 6-10 years).
8.4.2 Redundancy-based LoF Scoring
Table 7-17 and Table 7-18 in Chapter 7 show the reliability/redundancy criteria for the Process
Equipment(at Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2) and the Collection Systems,respectively.If
insufficient facility/component redundancy is available at a particular process area,a Lop score
would be generated based on when whether the facility/component fails the redundancy
requirement.Refer to Technical Memorandum 6-Project Identification and Prioritization
Methodology,contained in Appendix A,for a more detailed scoring methodology for
redundancy assessment.
8.5 Regulations Assessment
An assessment of regulatory requirements for OCSD treatment facilities is provided in the
section on Regulatory Analysis in Chapter 7.No regulations are anticipated over next 20 yews
that require OCSD to initiate capital improvements to maintain compliance.While long-term
regulatory changes are anticipated,they are anticipated to occur beyond the planning period.
8.5.1 Regulation-based LoF Scoring
Refer to Section 7.5 of Chapter 7 for current regulations and future regulation trends.An LoF
score will need to be generated based on the estimated time it would take for a
component/facility to fail a current regulatory requirement or expected regulatory requirement.
Refer to Technical Memorandum 6-Project Identification and Prioritization Methodology,
contained in Appendix A,for a more detailed scoring methodology for regulation assessment.

8.5.2 Results of Regulation Assessment
8.5.2.1 Operations/Control Center Building at Plant No. 2
The existing Operations/Control Center Building at Plant No.2 does not have a building permit
and does not meet the State of California's building code.In addition,the Engineering
Construction trailer complex is a temporary facility,and consideration should be given to
replacing it with permanent facilities.The end-of-life assessment gave both facilities an LoF
score of 3 for replacing both within 11-15 years.
8.6 OCSDTnitiatives
OCSD sets goals for level of service and brokers agreements with other agencies to improve
standards in five key areas:customer service,public health and the environment,public funds
management,stakeholder understanding and support,and organizational effectiveness.OCSD
is committed to upholding these agreements and meeting agreed upon completion dates. Over
the next 20 years,certain CIP efforts are driven by OCSD initiatives and will affect certain
facilities end-of-life assessments. OCSD is currently working on new strategic plan updates,and
new goals are expected. New projects may be needed in the future once these strategic goals are
set.
8.6.1 Customer Service Assessment
OCSD is committed to reducing odor complaints from the collection system by 45 percent and
eliminating all odor complaints from Plant No. 1 and Plant No.2.To reach this goal,the active
Pressurization and Odor Control Study at Newport Beach,as well as project 5-68(Newport
Beach Pump Station Odor Control Improvements),will take place.
OCSD authorized an Odor Control Master Plan,but it was not completed during while the 2017
Facilities Master Plan was being prepared. Within this FMP,one CB'project falls in the scope of
the Odor Control Mater Plan and will need to reconcile technology with that master plan.This
project will replace primary clarifier odor control facilities at Plant No. 1 with new technology
and rehabilitate foul air ducts from PCs 6-31 to the new odor control facility.The Odor Control
MP will also make other recommendations to improve customer service,and individual CH s
will be created to address them.
8.6.2 Public Funds Management Assessment
Over the next 20 years,some of OCSD's facilities will no longer be needed due to changes in
operations or the development of new facilities.The upkeep and maintenance of these facilities
will become an unnecessary effort and expenditure. OCSD's initiative is to demolish these
facilities to eliminate ongoing maintenance expense and to free-up real estate for future uses.

8.6.2.1 DAFT Facility at Plant No. 1
This initiative will affect the DAFT facility at Plant No. 1,since it will not be needed once the
new thickening centrifuges installed to replace the DAFTs under P1-101.The end-of-life
assessment gave DAFT facility an LoF score of 3 for replacing within 11-15 years in the
anticipation of successfully implementing the thickening centrifuges.
8.6.2.2 Plant Rater Pump Station and 12 WDistnbution Center Aat Plant No. 2
The Plant Water Pump Station and 12 kV Distribution Center A at Plant No.2 will become
obsolete,and OCSD will demolish these structures. The existing Plant Water Pump Station built
in 1954 under P2-1 will also become obsolete once a new Plant Water Pump Station is built
under project J-117.
Adjacent to the existing Plant Water Pump Station and sharing a common wall is the 12 kV
Distribution Center A. This distribution center will become obsolete as well with the
implementation of P2-92,P2-98,and a future biosolids project that will feed all power loads
currently supported by the Distribution Center A.The end-of-life assessment gave the Plant
Water Pump Station and 12 kV distribution center A at Plant No. 2 an LoF score of 2 for
replacing within 16-20 years based on the successful completion of these projects.
8.6.2.3 Sodium Bisulfite and Bleach Station at Plant 2
Since 2012,OCSD no longer discharges primary effluent to the ocean. In 2015,OCSD received
approval from the USEPA and Santa Ana RWQCB to stop disinfection. OCSD no longer
routinely disinfects effluent to the ocean,unless it has use the short outfall during an
emergency.
As part of Project No.P2-98,OCSD has elected to use chemical scrubbers to treat odors from the
primary clarifiers.To optimize OCSD's facilities,a new P2-98 bleach station will be configured
to accommodate the bleach storage and metering needs for emergency effluent disinfection.
Once constructed and operational,the existing bleach station will be obsolete and should be
demolished.
The existing sodium bisulfite station is considered oversized and requires modification to meet
an emergency use need.The end-of-life assessment gave the sodium bisulfate facility an LoF
score of 4.Thus,it should be demolished and replaced with an appropriately sized facility
within 6-10 years.
8.6.3 Stakeholder Understanding and Support Assessment
Communicating OCSD's mission and strategies with those they serve and all other stakeholders
is a District initiative. Additionally,within this scope,OCSD partners with others organizations
(CALTRANS and OCWD) to benefit their customers,their region, and their industry.

8.6.3.1 Wastehauler Station at Plant 1
The California State Department of Transportation(CALTRANS)is planning to construct an
elevated south-bound onramp (CALTRANS Project) to the 405 Freeway to alleviate congestion
along Ellis Avenue.This project will skirt the north side of the OCSD's Plant No. 1 near the
current plant entrance,which will require relocating the OCSD plant entrance to the
intersection of Ellis Avenue and Pacific Street.Doing so will also require relocating the
Wastehauler Station to more closely monitor user activities and limit or eliminate access into the
secured area of OCSD's Plant No. 1.The end-of-life assessment gave the Wastehauler Station at
Plant 1 an LoF score of 4 for replacing within 6-10 years.
8.6.3.2 GWRS Expansion
OCSD has an agreement with OCWD to expand the GWRS,which will need to be implemented
in the next 6-10 years.According to the terms of the 2016"Joint Exercise Powers Agreement for
the Development,Operation,and Maintenance of the Groundwater Replenishment System and
the Green Acres Project," OCSD will provide 175 mgd of"specification-quality"influent to
OCWD under normal operation.
To fulfill the requirements of the OCWD agreement,conveyance modifications will be needed
to support the GWRS Final Expansion.This includes modifying Plant No.2 to serve as a water
source for GWRS,conveying reclaimable water from Plant No. 2 to Plant No.1,and modifying
the various conveyance system components needed to deliver the water to GWRS.To make this
possible,five major construction projects on OCSD property will be necessary:Plant 2
Headworks Modifications Project(P2-122),Plant Water Pump Station Replacement Q-117),
Plant 2 Effluent Pump Station Project,Plant 2 Flow Equalization Project,and a 66" Interplant
Pipe Rehabilitation Project.
8.6.4 Public Health and the Environment Assessment
Protecting public health and the environment using all practical and effective means for
wastewater,energy,and solids resource recovery is a District Initiative.Currently,some
ongoing safety projects me being implemented because of SP-141.Although no new safety
projects have been identified,every new CIP projects will take safety into consideration.This
applies to protecting public health and the environment.
8.6.5 Organizational Effectiveness Assessment
Creating the best possible workforce in terms of safety,productivity,customer service,and
training is a District Initiative. Currently,organizational effectiveness does not drive capital
improvement needs for OCSD.Organizational effectiveness will,however,still need to be
considered for any capital investment efforts.

8.7 Health and Safety Assessment
Currently,some ongoing safety projects are being implementing because of SP-141.Although
no new safety projects are identified,every new CIP project will take safety into consideration.
8.8 Seismic Assessment
OCSD is currently conducting a seismic assessment of critical process facilities and occupied
facilities.The seismic-failure mode grading criteria will be better defined as part of the Seismic
Resiliency Study. Once the assessment is complete,the findings will be incorporated into the
FMP and may be used to reprioritize projects or recommended projects that could be added to
the Capital Improvement Plan.

9.0 Project Identification
9.1 Overview
This Facilities Master Plan (FMP) has two primary purposes: to identify future capital
improvements needed for reliable and cost-effective operation of Orange County Sanitation
District(OCSD)facilities and to provide the necessary information for planning and budgeting
these improvements.This chapter describes the project identification process and presents the
projects identified for the next 20 years.
9.2 Definitions
Table 9.1 lists some of the nomenclature used in this chapter to describe the project

9.3 Project Identification Whodology
Capital improvement projects were identified based on needs identified from an evaluation of
the seven primary failure mode drivers for improvements.These drivers are listed and further
described in Chapter 8.
For this FMP,most of the projects are condition based.This is because many of OCSD's
treatment facilities are aging and have reached or are anticipated to reach the end of their useful
life within the 20-year planning period.Furthermore,major capital improvement plans to meet
full secondary treatment requirements with new secondary treatment facilities have been
completed, and no major new regulatory requirements requiring major improvements are
anticipated in the new future.
According to assessments of projected influent flow and loading for the next 20 years,no new
capacity-related projects will be required in this planning period,as shown in Chapter 8.During
the initial condition assessment site work,individual assets were assessed and assigned a score
based on their estimated Remaining Useful Life(RUL).Other observations or issues,such as
pv\\QmbUbcwrema\C1emMNOLSD'16339bbRMenbW2011"Sn PlanWm r9 MDR&W17-Pm o�� x 9-1
9a PRaELTKnffWCAIrJN
capacity or redundancy limitations of a specific asset,were also recorded during the condition
assessment work.However,for this master planning effort,the RUL assessment was primarily
considered condition based.After individual assets were grouped into projects,a similar
scoring methodology was applied to each one using a score from 1 to 5,based on the seven
failure modes that comprise the Likelihood of Failure (LoF).
In summary,assets were assigned RUL scores, and projects,or groups of assets,were assessed
and assigned Lop scores.The projects in this chapter were identified through the six-step
process shown in Figure 9-1.The following sections describe each step and categorize the
projects according to four locations:Plant No. 1,Plant No.2,Joint Plant,and the Collection
System.

9.3.1 Project Identification Process
9.3.1.1 Create a List ofRULScores/Issues (Stem 11
The first step in the project identification process was to organize all RUL scores and issues
collected from all sources into one spreadsheet.These sources include issues identified in the
2009 Master Plan that had not been resolved, the condition assessment process conducted for
this FMP,an end-of-life assessment based on the seven failure modes,various workshops with
O&M staff conducted for the IMP,and others. Refer to Chapter 8 for information on how the
assets' RUL scores were developed.
The issues included in the list of projects relate to all seven failure modes.From this point on,
the spreadsheet will be referred to as the List of Issues,which was created to organize all
identified issues into a single database and to help determine a project's LoF score.
9.3.1.2 Evaluate and Validate CIP List(Step 2)
OCSD's Planning Division has maintained a 20-year Capital Improvement Plan(CIP)
comprised of potential future projects. These projects are typically scoped to rehabilitate,
upgrade,or replace most of the assets within a sub-process area or facility.The asset-level issues
identified in Step 1 were matched to the most appropriate project for resolution under that
project. In some cases,a project's existing scope may be modified to address a new issue that
may have been identified in this master-planning process.
As the scope for each project was further developed to incorporate a written description,the
RUL scores of the individual assets,as identified Step 1,were amalgamated to define the
project's overall LoF score.The resulting amalgamation,or"rolled-up" score,involved
engineering judgment on the relative importance of the different assets.The project's LoF score
determines the implementation date for each project.
9.3.1.3 Identify New Projects (Step 3I
After the second step in the project identification process,assets had issues not assigned to a
project. As a result,new projects were created to address the assets' issues.To identify new
projects,the guidelines described below were followed.
1. All assets with an RUL score of 1 were filtered out since they didn't need to be
addressed within the FMP's CIP timeline.
2. Assets were combined and organized by facility.

9.oeaaeCrnrrnuK
3. Engineering judgment was used to either combine facilities (in the same sub-process)
under a project or create individual projects to address a facility. However,additional
guidelines were followed to either combine facilities or keep them separate:
a. Facilities were combined into projects to minimize the need to revisit the same
sub-process area multiple times in a relatively short timeframe(generally less than
10 years),which would prolong construction disruption to that sub-process.
b. Facilities were not combined if the assets had vastly dissimilar RUL scores(more
than a 10-year difference),which maximized the return of investment by mitigating
inefficient capital spending to address assets with considerable RUL.
c. When combining facilities,the RUL of assets based on condition can often be
extended with increased maintenance;however,RULs based on the other six project
drivers cannot be extended and would ideally be addressed within the timeframe.
For example,a project with a regulatory driver cannot have its RUL extended with
increased maintenance.
Figure 9-2 shows an example of how new projects were identified. In the secondary treatment
process illustrated,the activated sludge sub-process consists of six different facilities:Aeration
Basins,Blowers,Clarifiers,RAS,WAS,and the Primary Effluent Fump Station (PEPS). In this
example, all RUL scores for the assets are hypothetical to illustrate the various engineering
decisions that can be made.
Note that the assets'RUL scores in each facility are not yet"rolled-up."This was deliberate so
that information at the asset-level was not lost when deciding whether to combine facilities in
the same sub-process into a project. For example,certain assets might have a very short RUL,
but can be replaced easily by maintenance staff.As a result,that asset's RUL cannot be used to
justify driving a project.
Figure 9-2 identifies two projects for the activated sludge facility due to large differences in RUL
scores and project drivers. In this example,most of the assets in two facilities (Aeration Basin
and Clarifiers) have an RUL score of 5 based on condition.These two facilities are combined
into a single project with an Lop score of 5.
The other four facilities within the activated sludge sub-process have assets with RUL scores
between 4 and 2.These facilities are combined into another project with an LoF score of 3.The
reasoning for this is as follows:
• The PEPS has one asset with a condition-based RUL score of 4. This could be changed
from 4 to 3 if its RUL could be extended with more maintenance.With this change,most
of the assets in the PEPS facility would have an RUL score of 3.
• The blower facility has a capacity-based RUL score of 3. Because this RUL score cannot
be extended by other means,it remains a 3.Since most of the assets in both the PEPS and
blower facilities have an RUL of 3,they can be combined into a single project.

9.OPRmELTmEM1PMNIDN
• RAS and WAS facilities have assets with RUL scores between 2 and 3.Since these
facilities have assets with RUL scores similar to the PEPS and blower facility,they are
combined.
• The drivers for this second project are condition and capacity,each with an Lop score of
3.

9.3.1.4 Develop Project Description fSten5)
The final step in the project identification process is to complete the project development form
for each project identified.This form was linked to the two lists previously mentioned:the List
of Issues and the Project List. Each project development form has four sections,which are
pv\\QmbUbcwrema\C1emMNOLSD'16339bbRMenbW2011 H4nsr PhnWm r9 MDR&W17-Pmya�� x 95
9.OPROJ�
described below.An example of the project development form is included at the end of this
chapter.
9.3.1.4.1 Project Descriotion
The first section of the project development form is the project description.This section consists
of six sub-sections described below.
• Project Background Information:This subsection contains an entry for the project
number,project number,and LoF score.The preparer of the document will then have to
manually input the RUL associated with the project Lop score.The project driver and
allocations are selected in this subsection.A project can have multiple drivers,but an
allocation must be given to each one. (All allocations should add up to 100 percent).
• Problem Statement:This subsection describes the need for the project,including the
project's drivers,and provides justification for implementing the project.
• Project Purpose:This subsection describes the project's objectives.
• Project Description:This subsection describes the scope elements that the project
generally consists of.
• Project Conflicts:This subsection describes all projects that would likely interfere with
implementing the project,such as space or capacity requirements.
• Project Element(s):This section identifies major project elements.These project elements
should address the issues identified in the facility or sub-process area.
9.3.1.4.2 List of issues
This section is populated by retrieving the issues related to this project from the List of Issues
database. This section makes the document preparer aware of issues and helps guide them to
develop the project's scope.
9.3.1.4.3 Cost Est mte
Project cost estimates for the projects identified in the 2017 Facilities Master Plan were
developed and presented in the project development form.For uniformity and consistency,the
following procedures and guidelines were followed:
1. Cost estimates are prepared only after project elements are clearly identified in the
Project Descriptions section.
2. Cost estimates are to be presented on the Cost Estimating Template prepared for this
project.
% pv\\QmbUbcwrema\C1emMNOLSD'10339bbRtirenbWlAllt NkWrPYn\Omper9 MDF W17-Pmya4km�ation.dan
9.0 PROIELTmEMWH'NIDN
3. Cost estimates are produced as fully burdened construction costs(i.e.,representative of
a contractors bid number).The goal is not to represent the low bid,but to represent the
median bid.The type of cost estimate is intended to be Class 4(budgetary estimate),per
the American Association of Cost Engineers(AACE).
4. All construction costs are presented as the mid-point of construction in 2017.
5. When using prior projects as a reference for a cost estimate,the following procedures are
to be followed:
a. Identify the mid-point of construction for reference project.
b. Escalate the construction cost from the mid-point of construction for the reference
project using the applicable ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) to 2017.For this
FMP,the Los Angeles Area ENR CCI for June 201711,800 is used.
6. The Cost Estimating Template developed uses default percentages for:
a. Sales Tax(applied to half of direct cost):8 percent.
b. Project Level Allowance:30 percent.
c. General Conditions:15 percent.
d. Contractors Profit: 10 percent.
e. Bid Bond:2 percent.
f. Insurance:2 percent.
7. The Project Level Allowance(i.e.,estimating contingency) of 30 percent is based on the
assumption that only 70 percent of work for a project can be identified at this estimate
level. If the estimator believes that the reference project components include more than
70 percent of the work,the estimating contingency may be reduced based on the
estimator's judgment,but to no less than 15 percent.
9.3.1.4.4 Site Plan
The site plan is a birds-eye view of all the assets the project addresses.The site plan is color
coded to show assets that are newly constructed,marked for rehabilitation,or marked for
demolition.

10.0 Implementation Plan
10.1 Overview
This section provides the methodology and results used to prioritize the projects identified in
Chapter 9 into a 20-year Capital Improvement Plan(CIP).The procedures outlined in this
chapter were developed to serve as a repeatable process for updating subsequent CIPs.
A technical memorandum(TM) describing the prioritization process in detail can be found in
TM No. 6 in Appendix A.
10.2 Purpose for Prioritization
As detailed in previous chapters,83 projects were identified for this Facilities Master Plan
(IMP).The next step was to develop implementation schedules for the projects.
However,implementing the projects based solely on new facilities being online prior to the
existing facilities' estimated end of life may lead to significant conflicts with project sequencing.
For example,multiple projects in construction at the same time in the same process area could
conflict. Furthermore,there could be issues with the cash flow and resources needed to
implement projects not meeting Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD) requirements.To
address these conflicts and issues,the following prioritization process was created.
10.3 Prioritization Methodology
This IMP compiled a list of 83 projects using the guidelines illustrated in Chapter 9.Likelihood
of Failure (LoF)scores,as defined in Chapter 8,were assigned to projects based on an overall
assessment of individual assets' Remaining Useful Life (RUL) scores.This served as a starting
point for the four-step prioritization process shown in Figure 10-1.In scheduling projects by
LoF scores,OCSD could operate facilities to their expected lives,an approach that balances cost-
effectiveness with reliability.

FIGURE 10-1
Four Step Priori0zation Process
After scheduling projects by their LoF scores,the second step was to evaluate project schedules
for logical sequencing and feasibility,considering the continuity of operations and minimizing
operating disruptions during construction.An example of adjusting project schedules was to
sequence construction for projects in the secondary treatment area to avoid having insufficient
secondary treatment capacity.
The third step was to identify projects for potential schedule adjustments to level cash flow and
resources.This was done to minimize wide variations in annual capital expenditure and staff
needs from year to year,while also minimizing differences in cash flow expectations established
by prior budgets.
Determining a project's Consequence of Failure(CoF), as described in TM No.6 in Appendix A,
was the fourth step in the prioritization process. If moving multiple projects with the same LoF
scores was being considered,any difference in CoF scores would determine whether to move
projects earlier or later.For example,projects with higher CoF scores would be moved earlier,
whereas projects with lower Cop scores would be moved later.
10.4 2017 20-Year CIP Implementation Plan
For this FMP,OCSD's Project Management Office (PMO) generated cash flow projections using
its Primavera model. The following procedure was established by the FMP team to
communicate with OCSD's PMO.

1001MPLEMENTATION PLAN
10.4.1 Develop Project Data Table
All projects that fall within the 20-year CIP were imported into a table referred to as the Project
Data Table.This table was a starting point for communicating with OCSD's PMO and contained
the following information for each project.
1. Project Information:
a. Project Number.
b. Project Name.
c. Project Type.
d. Construction Cost Estimate.
e. Location.
2. Project Durations:
a. RFP Preparation.
b. Consultant Selection.
c. Preliminary Design Report(FDR).
d. Final Design.
e. Bid and Award.
f. Construction.
3. Project Schedule:
a. Project Start.
b. Request for proposal (RFP)Advertisement.
c. Professional Design Services Agreement(PDSA)/Notice to Proceed(NTP).
d. PDR Acceptance.
e. Final Design Acceptance.
f. Construction Start.
g. Final Completion.
10.4.1.1 Project Information
The project information was imported into the Project Data Table from Chapter 9.
10.4.1.2 Project Durations
OCSD projects have six phases,each with a different duration that will ultimately determine the
overall duration of the project.Initial determinations of durations for each phase of the project
were based on historical data from similar projects in the past. Below is a summary of each
phase and its duration periods.
• RFP Preparation:Six-month duration,independent of project scale.
• Consultant Selection:Five-month duration,independent of project scale.
• Preliminary Design Report(PDR):Depends on project scale(See Table 10-1).
• Final Design:Depends on project scale(See Table 10-1).
• Bid and Award:Five-month duration,independent of project scale.
• Construction:Duration based on cost estimate preparation process and the project's size
and complexity.

10.4.1.3 Project Schedule
The LoF score for each project,as described in Chapter 9,corresponds to the 5-year time range a
project must be completed by to prevent failure from occurring prior to project completion. For
this FMP,the last year of the 5-year time range was used as the final completion date for each
project. Once that date was determined,the other six dates were developed by working
backward using the durations established in the previous section. This created seven total dates,
which are described below:
1. Project Start:The project is initiated.
2. RFP Advertisement: The RFP is advertised.
3. PDSA/NTP: The Consultant receives the NTP to start preliminary design.
4. PDR Acceptance:Preliminary design is accepted and final design begins.
5. Final Acceptance:Final design is accepted.
6. Construction Start:The bid is awarded and Contractor receives NTP.
7. Final Completion: Substantial construction and punchlist items are completed.
Once the dates were populated,the Project Data Table was completed and handed over to
OCSD.OCSD then reviewed and developed the project costs and schedules,escalated the
project costs,and developed cash flow projections in the PMO Primavera cash flow model.The
preliminary Project Data Table is presented in Appendix G.
10.4.2 OCSD Review
After completing the Project Data Table, the next step was for OCSD to complete a
comprehensive review. OCSD reviewed all of the key items previously mentioned (name,costs,
duration,etc.).During the review process for 2017 CIP Project data,OCSD revised the
construction duration for several projects based on OCSD staff's assessment of the construction
time required.
10.4.3 Cash Flow Analysis
Once reviewed or revised by OCSD, the Project Data Table was then imported into OCSD's
Primavera database.The new data was combined with the cash flow already approved under
the FY 17-18 budget.A graph showing the cash flow and capital expenditure based entirely on

10.4.4 Sequencing/Feasibility Schedule Adjustment
As mentioned in Section 10.2,after developing the preliminary cash flow,the projects were
reviewed for construction sequencing/feasibility.For this step,all projects within the same
process area were evaluated and schedules were adjusted to prevent their construction
durations from overlapping.Projects with higher Cop were moved earlier,and projects with
lower Cop were moved later. In addition,projects were reviewed for feasibility,which involved
adjusting the construction schedule based on realistic timelines for initiating the project,rather
than using the estimated end of life.
10.4.5 Cash Flow Leveling
As shown in Figure 10-2,capital expenditures in several years significantly exceed the FY 17-18
approved CIP budget. In addition,the projected capital expenditures for the 10-year and
20-year durations exceed the FY 17-18 CIP budget by$36 million and$269 million,respectively.
Thus,cash flow leveling was the next step.Projects were shifted so the projected CIP
expenditures more closely matched the FY 1748 CIP.As previously mentioned, the projects

1001MPIEMEMATIION MAN
were moved based on the CoR For this IMP,projects were not moved more than 2 yews
forward or backward to keep them more or less within the 5-year time range associated with
their Lop scores.
This process was conducted using the"What-If Tool" supplied by the PMO.This tool allowed
for quick assessment of the cash flow changes resulting from moving projects. However,it did
not reflect minor changes due to cost escalation associated with the changes in the projects'
timing.To account for this,adjustments made with the"What-If Tool"were updated in the
Project Data Table and sent to OCSD's PMO to update the Primavera Model,which would then
account for the change in cost escalation.
The final cash flow and expenditure graph is shown in Figure 10-3. After cash flow leveling,the
revised capital expenditures more closely matched the FY 17-18 CIP.The resulting leveled CIP
expenditures were less than the FY 17-18 approved CIP budget by$8 million and$30 million for
the 10-year and 20-year durations,respectively.
