General Counsel, Brad Hogin, stated a correction for the record regarding Item 17, in
which his previous statement that the two agreements were substantially the same in
regards to annexations and reorganization, was in fact not correct. He stated that after
further review of the second amendment to the agreement with East Orange County
Water District, the provisions of Annexation and Reorganization were slightly different
than the IRWD agreement. He provided the Board opportunity for a motion of
reconsideration, to which there was none.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kelly A. Lore, Clerk of the Board
SUBJECT: CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 16-02 entitled, "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of
Orange County Sanitation District adopting a Conflict of Interest Code which supersedes
all prior Conflict of Interest Codes and amendments previously adopted:'
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
The last biennial review, and formal amendment, to the District's Conflict of Interest
Code was in December of 2015. Although the Political Reform Act requires that every
local agency review its Conflict of Interest Code biennially (which would bring forth the
next amendment in 2017), staff is proposing this new amendment in order to reflect
the current positions of those designated employees that are required to file
statements of economic interests
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Political Reform Act, Government Code Sections 81000, at seq
• California Government Code Section 87300-87306
• Fair Political Practices Commission (2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18100, et seq.)
PROBLEM
With the reorganization of the District workforce, one designated employee will be
eliminated and one designated employee will be created, both positions are required
to file statements of economic interest.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors adopt the updated 2016 Conflict of
Interest Code to reflect the following changes:
• Deletion of Director of Facility Support Services (effective March 19, 2016)
• Addition of Director of Environmental Services (effective March 20, 2016)
Page 1 of 2
If approved by the Board, the newly approved code will be forwarded to the County of
Orange for amendment approval.
TIMING CONCERNS
The changes in position control will take place in mid-March 2016, and therefore
cannot wait until a future meeting.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Non-compliance with state law.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
December2015—Board of Directors amended the Conflict of Interest Code and approved
Resolution No. OCSD 15-26.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT ADOPTING A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST CODE WHICH SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR CONFLICT
OF INTEREST CODES AND AMENDMENTS PREVIOUSLY
ADOPTED
WHEREAS, the Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code Section 81000 et.
seq. ("the Act'), requires a local government agency to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code
pursuant to the Act; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Sanitation District ('District') has previously
adopted a Conflict of Interest Code and that Code now requires updating; and
WHEREAS, amendments to the Act have in the past and foreseeably will in the
future require conforming amendments to be made to the Conflict of Interest Code; and
WHEREAS, the Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation,
2 California Code of Regulations, Section 18730, which contains terms for a standard
model Conflict of Interest Code, which, together with amendments thereto, may be
adopted by public agencies and incorporated by reference to save public agencies time
and money by minimizing the actions required of such agencies to keep their codes in
conformity with the Political Reform Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation
District, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER:
Section 1. The terms of 2 California Code of Regulations, Section 18730, any
amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission, and all
additional guidance by the Fair Political Practices Commission, are hereby incorporated
by reference and, together with the 2016 Conflict of Interest Code for the Orange County
Sanitation District, including Exhibits A and B in which members and employees are
OCSD 16-02-1
designated and disclosure categories are set forth, constitute the Conflict of Interest Code
of the Orange County Sanitation District.
Section 2. The provisions of all Conflict of Interest Codes and Amendments
thereto previously adopted by the Orange County Sanitation District are hereby
superseded.
Section 3. The Filing Officer is hereby authorized to forward a copy of this
Resolution to the Clerk of the Orange County Board of Supervisors for review and
approval by the Orange County Board of Supervisors as required by California
Government Code Section 87303.

2016 CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE FOR THE
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
The Political Reform Act, Government Code Sections 81000, et seq.,
requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate Conflict of
Interest Codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation
(2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18730) which contains the terms of a standard
Conflict of Interest Code, which may be incorporated by reference in an agency's
code. After public notice and hearing, it may be amended by the Fair Political
Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act.
Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730, any
amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission, and all
additional guidance by the Fair Political Practices Commission, are hereby
incorporated by reference. This regulation and the attached Appendix designating
officials and employees and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the
Conflict of Interest Code of the Orange County Sanitation District.
Designated employees shall file statements of economic interests with the
District's Clerk of the Board who will make the statements available for public
inspection and reproduction (Government Code Section 87500). Upon receipt of
the statements of the Orange County Sanitation District Board of Directors, Orange
County Sanitation District Financing Corporation, General Manager, General
Counsel, Assistant General Manager, Director of Engineering, Director of Finance
& Administrative Services, Director of Operations & Maintenance, Director of
Environmental Services, Director of Human Resources, and the Clerk of the Board,

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: COOPERATIVE PROCUREMENT WITH W.W. GRAINGER
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Blanket Purchase Order with W.W. Grainger, Inc. for the purchase of
maintenance tools and supplies, in accordance with Ordinance No. OCSD47,
Section 2.03(B): Cooperative Procurement; for the period beginning March 1, 2016
through February 28, 2017 with three one-year renewal option years for a total
amount not to exceed $275,000 per year.
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
In order to properly maintain and repair Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD)
facilities the Operations and Maintenance Department require parts and supplies
which may be one-time purchases, or purchased infrequently such that it is not
appropriate to stock them in the OCSD's warehouse.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Participate in National Joint Powers Authority (NJPA) cooperative purchasing
program.
• Stable rates, no large unforeseen rate increases
PROBLEM
The current Blanket Purchase Order(BPO)with Grainger expires February 29, 2016.
Without this agreement in place procurement of parts and supplies necessary for day
to day repairs could be delayed and could result in higher individual procurement
costs.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve a BPO with Grainger thereby allowing quick procurement and stable pricing
of necessary small tools and equipment for day to day repairs.
Page 1 of 3
TIMING CONCERNS
The current BPO contract for W.W. Grainger expires on 02/29/16. Approval of a new
contract with W.W. Grainger, proposed to start on 03/01/16, will alleviate the demand
on Purchasing and Maintenance to individually procure parts and supplies.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Increased time to procure needed parts and supplies and potentially higher costs.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
February 2014 - Operations Committee approved a BPO for purchases of maintenance
tools and supplies from W.W. Grainger, Inc., for a total amount not to exceed $200,000
with (3) additional one-year option periods.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The National Association of State Procurement Officers (NASPO, formerly WSCA-
NASPO) agreements are available to all State of California governmental entities (State
agencies, cities, counties, special districts, school districts, universities, etc.) that expend
public funds for the acquisition of both goods and services.
The State of California purchases a wide variety of goods and services ranging from
pencils to temporary labor under these agreements. Annual purchases total nearly $10
billion. The Procurement Division (PD) is the central purchasing authority for all State
departments and local government agencies. With a massive marketplace and billions of
dollars in purchasing power they are able to offer a lower procurement cost to California's
State, County, City, Special District, education and other government entities through
their Leveraged Procurement Agreements (LPAs). LPAs allow entities/agencies to buy
directly from suppliers through existing contracts and agreements. One of the LPAs that
the state offers to California governmental agencies is the National Association of State
Procurement Officers (NASPO, formerly WSCA-NASPO) for Commodities, IT Goods &
Services, and Telecommunication Goods and Services.

MATERIALS MANAGEMENT DIVISION
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a purchase order to procure information technology computer and peripheral
equipment using the Admin Minnesota Materials Management Division contract release
#C-1084(5) through the contract expiration date, December 31, 2016 for a total amount
not to exceed $400,000, with four (4) one-year renewal options, in accordance with
Ordinance OCSD-47, Section 2.03(B) Cooperative Purchases.
SUMMARY
OCSD wishes to select the Admin Minnesota Materials Management Division contract
release#C-1084(5)as established by The Office of Enterprise Technology (OET)and the
Department of Administration, State of Minnesota to standardize specifications for
computer desktops, notebooks, tablets, and peripherals.
Minnesota's Cooperative Purchasing Venture(CPV), established by Minn. Stat. § 16C.03,
subd.10, allows eligible entities to purchase goods, certain services and utilities from
contracts established by the Materials Management Division (MMD) for Minnesota state
agencies. This program creates a legal relationship so that eligible governmental entities
can use these contracts just like state agencies. Minnesota Statutes § 471.59, subd. 1,
known as the Joint Powers Act, defines the governmental entities that may join the CPV
program. They include counties, cities, towns, townships, and school districts, as well as
other entities. Minn. Stat. § 16C.105 adds certain tax-exempt, non-profit entities and
charitable organizations to the list of entities eligible to use these contracts.
BACKGROUND
In order to property maintain and repair Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD)
facilities, the Information Technology division has needs to purchase computers and
peripheral parts and supplies. Such item requirements have been forecasted based
upon projected obsolete equipment, historical product failure rates, and new items to
address general capacity, redundancy, or security. Since technology changes so
frequently, it is not appropriate to stock these items in OCSD's warehouses.

RELEVANT STANDARDS
• OCSD Ordinance OCSD-47, Section 2.03(B) Cooperative Purchases
PROBLEM
The procurement process on information technology items and services for a local
agency like OCSD involves a lot of efforts and associated costs. IT needs to work
diligently in finding ways to streamline the procurement process while minimizing cost
concomitant of the procurement of technology items.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
OCSD's purchasing power is limited therefore, utilizing other large agencies'
cooperative agreement/s who have completed a vetted procurement process is a
viable and economical solution.
TIMING CONCERNS
Existing purchase order to procure Microsoft technology items expired on December
15, 2015. Deployment of new systems using Microsoft tablets and solutions is
imperative to support plant operations and maintenance initiatives.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Increased cost related to the procurement of technology items; increased risk of being
unable to support plant operations and maintenance.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS:
June 2015: Board Award M.O. 6/24/2015, Item 9
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OCSD is using the Microsoft Surface Pro as our standard desktop/notebook replacement.
These devices are being used extensively by field staff to connect to our network while
away from one's desk. These devices are also being deployed to staff in support of the
new Maximo maintenance management system. The State of Minnesota has established
standard specifications for computer desktops, notebooks, tablets, and monitors. Each
State standard specification has a list of upgrade options that allows agencies to
customize configurations for their needs. The Office of Enterprise Technology(OET) and
the Department of Administration have approved the implementation of these standards
as a mandatory requirement for state agencies. OCSD staff has verified that pricing has
been checked for competitiveness based upon volume pricing through this cooperative.

• Preliminary Budget Assumptions

• Presentation to Administration Committee Meeting February 10, 2016
Page 2 of 2
FY 2016-17 & 2017-18 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
Economic Assumptions
• Inflation for Orange County in FY 2016-17 is projected to be 2.0 percent based on the 2016
projected percentage change in consumer price index obtained from the December 2015
Economic and Business Review report prepared by Chapman University. A 2.0 percent
inflation factor will also be used for FY 2017-18.
Revenue Assumptions
• Based upon the revised Sewer Service Fee Rate Schedule approved by the Board in
May 2015, the single-family residence (SFR) rate will increase by 1.6 percent to $327 in
FY 2016-17.
• Note that each $1 increase in the SFR rate generates approximately$900,000 per year.
• The capital facilities capacity charge (CFCC)fee captures only those infrastructure costs
that relate to additional capacity. The CFCC fee will increase for FY 2016-17 by the
increase in the Engineering-News Record construction cost index. Other infrastructure
costs such as improved treatment, rehabilitation, refurbishment, and replacement, will be
supported through user fees.
• Given the Facilities Master Plan adopted in December 2009, a rate study was completed in
January 2013 to ensure that the CFCC fee methodology remains equitable and to confirm
that an appropriate share of system costs would be recovered from new development.
• Revenues will be budgeted to reflect little growth in Equivalent Dwelling Unit(EDU)
connections that have remained flat over the past five years.
• Permit user rates for flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids
(TSS)will follow the most recent Rate Study.
• Annexation fees capture both the net current assets and the equivalent property tax
allocations totaling $4,235 per acre.
• Annexable property in the District's service area sphere is minimal; consequently, no
FY 2016-17 income from annexation fees is anticipated.
• Property tax revenues are preliminarily estimated to increase by approximately five percent
from FY 2015-16 to $92,953,000.
A two percent annual increase in Assessed Value is authorized by the state constitution and
is included in the increases noted above. The additional increase in assessed value is from
authorized increases to market value when property is sold at a higher value.
• Earnings on the investment of the District's operating cash and reserves will be budgeted at
1.0 percent of the average cash and investment balance projected for the fiscal year.
• No additional debt issuance is scheduled for FY 2016-17.
Operating Assumptions
• Operating expenses are expected to approximate the adopted FY 2015-16 budget of
$149 million.
3
FY 2016-17 & 2017-18 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
• Average daily flows are projected at 185 mgd for FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18. This
projection reflects an expectation that increased economic activity and urban runoff will be
more than offset by effects of conservation and minimal rainfall, resulting in an overall
decrease in the average daily flow. The FY 2016-17 flow projection of 185 mgd reflects no
change from the actual for the first 5 months of the current year and is 2 mgd below the final
actual flow for FY 2014-15.
Employee/Staffing Assumptions
• Staffing level is expected to remain flat. No additional positions are anticipated. The total
FY 2015-16 authorized staffing level is 624.00 FTEs, excluding Management Discretion
positions.
• Vacant positions as of 12/31/15 are budgeted at 50 percent of step 1 for the remainder of
FY 2015-16 and at 100 percent of step 2 for FY 2016-17.
• New positions will be projected at 100 percent of step 1 for FY 2016-17.
• A 5.0 percent vacancy factor on authorized positions has been budgeted for FY 2016-17.
The actual vacancy factor for 2014-15 was 6.3 percent. This vacancy factor accounts for
time spent for recruitment and turnover.
• The Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs)for the OCEA, the Local 501, and the
Supervisor and Professional (SPMT)groups expire on June 30, 2016. Pending the
completion of the negotiation process, no salary adjustments will be included in the budget
for COLA for periods beyond the expiration of the current MOUs.
• Retirement costs for employees enrolled in OCERS Plans G and H are estimated at a rate
of 16.66 percent of the employee's base salary for FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18, down from
24.25 percent in FY 2015-16. The rates for Plans G and H include the District's pickup of
3.5 percent of employees' required contributions. Employees enrolled in OCERS Plan B are
estimated at a rate of 11.06 percent of the employee's base salary for FY2016-17 and
FY 2017-18, down from 18.39 percent in FY 2015-16. All employees hired on or after
January 1, 2013 are enrolled in OCERS Plan U and are estimated at a rate of 9.76 percent
for FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18, down from 17.52 percent in FY 2015-16. Interns are not
enrolled in OCERS so their retirement benefits are calculated at 6.2 percent (FICA rate).
• Other employee benefits and insurances will be budgeted to increase in FY 2016-17 and
FY 2017-18 by moderate but yet to be determined amounts.
Materials, Supplies, & Services Assumptions
• The proposed operating budget will continue to reflect an emphasis on safety, security, and
maintenance of plant assets and infrastructure.
• An amount equal to half of one percent of the Operating materials and services budget will
be a contingency for prior year re-appropriations. Since the current year's budget lapses on
June 30, a contingency is needed in the succeeding budget year for goods or services
ordered at the end of one budget year but not delivered until the following year.
• An amount equal to 0.85 percent of the Operating materials and services budget will be the
General Manager's contingency budget. These funds will be allocated to appropriate line
4
FY 2016-17 & 2017-18 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
items during the year after requests and justifications for unanticipated needs are approved
by the General Manager.
• Resource needs for strategic initiatives will be included in the budget.
Capital Improvement Program Assumptions
• The FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18 cash flow budget, based on the most current Validated
Capital Improvement Program (CIP), is the target.
• The baseline CIP cash flow for FY 2016-17 is$128 million and for FY 2017-18 is
$115 million.
• Continual evaluation of the CIP by the Asset Management Team may result in deferral or
reduction of some projects and a resultant increase in O&M repair costs for materials and
services, if the net cash flow impact is a decrease.
• The FY 2016-17 and 2017-18 CIP budget will only increase for critical projects which were
not previously identified in the Strategic Plan Update.
• For the first five months of FY2015-16, $56.9 million of the $$175.0 million CIP budget,
approximately 32.5 percent, was expended.
Debt Financing
• The District will issue new debt in the form of Certificates of Participation (COP)as needed
to fund the CIP and to maintain reserves.
• No additional debt issuance is scheduled for FY2016-17 and FY 2017-18.
• Debt will only be used for CIP and capital expenses, not for operating expenses.
• Capital financing plans no longer include future borrowings over the next ten years as the
approved user fee schedule is considered sufficient.
• Borrowing is proposed only for facilities which do not add capacity and that are funded by all
users for replacement, rehabilitation, and improved treatment.
Reserve Assumptions
The existing reserve policy is summarized as follows:
► A cash flow reserve will be established to fund operations, maintenance and certificates
of participation expenses for the first half of the fiscal year, prior to receipt of the first
installment of the property tax allocation and sewer service user fees which are collected
as a separate line item on the property tax bill. The level of this reserve will be
established as the sum of an amount equal to six months operations and maintenance
expenses and the total of the annual debt (COP)service payments due in August each
year.
► An operating contingency reserve will be established to provide for non-recurring
expenditures that were not anticipated when the annual budget and sewer service fees
5
FY 2016-17 & 2017-18 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
were considered and adopted. The level of this reserve will be established at an amount
equal to ten percent of the annual operating budget.
► A capital improvement reserve will be maintained to fund annual increments of the
capital improvement program. The long-tens target is for one half of the capital
improvement program to be funded from borrowing and for one half to be funded from
current revenues and reserves. With this program in mind, the target level of this
reserve has been established at one-half of the average annual capital improvement
program over the next ten years.
► Catastrophic loss, or self-insurance, reserves will be maintained for property damage
including fire, flood and earthquake, for general liability and for workers'compensation.
These reserves are intended to work with purchased insurance policies, FEMA disaster
reimbursements and State disaster reimbursements. The potential infrastructure loss
from a major earthquake, of which the District currently has limited outside insurance
coverage of$25 million, has been estimated to be as high as $1.3 billion. The level of
this reserve has been set at $57 million should such a catastrophic event occur. This
reserve amount will assist the District with any short-term funding needs until Federal
and State assistance becomes available.
► Accumulated capital funds will be set aside for certain specific, short-term capital
improvements as the need and availability arise.
► A capital replacement/renewal reserve policy has been established to provide thirty
percent of the funding to replace or refurbish the current collection, treatment and
disposal facilities at the end of their useful economic lives.
Based on the FY 2011-12 Asset Management Plan, the current replacement value of
these facilities is estimated to be $3.14 billion for the collection facilities and $3.12 billion
for the treatment and disposal facilities. The initial reserve level has been established at
$50 million, which will be augmented by interest earnings and a small portion of the
annual sewer user fee, in order to meet projected needs through the year 2030.
► Provisions of the various certificates of participation (COP) issues require debt service
reserves to be under the control of the Trustee for that issue. These reserve funds are
not available for the general needs of the District and must be maintained at specified
levels. The current level of required COP service reserves is projected to be
$209.9 million.
► Accumulated funds exceeding the levels specified by District policy will be maintained in
a rate stabilization fund. These funds will be applied to future years' needs in order to
maintain rates or to moderate annual fluctuations. There is no established target for this
reserve.

Budget Development Assumptions
Economics
• Inflation for Orange County is projected
to be approximately 2.0%
Revenue
• Based on the revised Single-family residence (SFR) rate
schedule approved by the Board in May 2015, SFR is
scheduled to increase 1.6% in FY16-17, to $327, and 1.2%
in FY 17-18, to $331.

Operations
• Average daily flows are projected to be 185 mgd for FY 2016-
17 and FY 2017-18. This projection reflects an expectation
that increased economic activity and urban runoff will be
more than offset by efforts of conservation and minimal
rainfall; and matches the flows for the first five months of
the current fiscal year.
• Operating expenses for FY 2016-17 are expected to
approximate the adopted FY 2015-16 budget of $149 million .
Staffing
• No increase in Staffing levels is being proposed (624 FTE)
• A 5% vacancy factor will continue to be budgeted for
authorized positions
• The MOUs for all bargaining units will expire on 6/30/15. No
salary adjustments are currently being anticipated in the
budget for COLAs.
• Moderate increases in benefits are anticipated.
Capital Improvement Program
( CIP)
• Cash flow assumptions are based on the most recent
validated CIP
• Baseline CIP is $153.6 million for FY16-17 and $143.6
million for FY 17-18.
Debt Financing
• COP debt financing is used to supplement user fees in
financing the capital program
• No additional "new money" debt issuance is scheduled for
FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18 as current user fees and
reserves are sufficient to fund CIP over the next two years.
• The two-year CANs Series 2014B debt will be maturing in
November of 2016 and is expected to be refunded with a
new CANs issuance.

AGENDA REPORT ItemNumber Item Number
o
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: WASTEWATER REFUNDING REVENUE OBLIGATIONS, SERIES 2016A
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Adopt Resolution No. OCSD16-03, authorizing the execution and delivery by the
District of an Installment Purchase Agreement, a Trust Agreement, an Escrow
Agreement and a Continuing Disclosure Agreement in connection with the
execution and delivery of Orange County Sanitation District Wastewater Refunding
Revenue Obligations, Series 2016A,authorizing the execution and delivery of such
Revenue Obligations evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to exceed
$163,000,000, approving a Notice of Intention to Sell, authorizing the distribution
of an Official Notice Inviting Bids and an Official Statement in connection with the
offering and sale of such Revenue Obligations and authorizing the execution of
necessary documents and related actions; and
B. That the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation approve the
documents supporting and authorizing the Revenue Obligations in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $163,000,000.
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
On May 7, 2009, the Sanitation District issued $200,000,000 of fixed rate
Certificates of Participation, Series 2009A (2009A COPs) to finance certain
improvements to the Wastewater System. With the recent drop in tax-exempt
interest rates, the 2009A COPS could be refunded and provide attractive savings
to the Sanitation District. The outstanding amount of 2009A COPS is currently
$180,235,000 of which $162,780,000 are subject to optional redemption prior to
maturity.
In February 2016, the Board authorized the General Manager to pursue a fixed
rate refunding of the callable 2009A COPs. Approval of the recommended actions
and the associated legal documents will enable staff to complete the refunding
process.
Page 1 of 5
RELEVANT STANDARDS
OCSD Debt Policy-Financial Management Policy and Procedure No. 201-3-1.
• Easy access to low cost credit.
PROBLEM
As a result of the current low interest rate environment on long term tax exempt
debt, the District has as opportunity to refund existing outstanding debt and
generate savings from existing debt obligations.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The issuance of up to $163 million of COP Series 2009A would generate up to
$19 million in present value savings.
TIME CONCERNS
There is a window of opportunity to refund existing debt at lower interest rates that
close in the near term. The proposed refinancing schedule calls for the refinancing
to be completed in April.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Not taking action would result in a lost opportunity to save future debt service costs
as the existing debt structure has been taking in to consideration in the
development of the current ten-year cash flow forecast.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
January 2016: Authorize the General Manager to issue newfixed rate Certificates
of Participation (COP), to be referred to as Wastewater Refunding
Revenue Obligations, in an amount sufficient to refund up to
$162,780,000 of COP Series 2009A.
December 2014: Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 14-19, authorizing the execution and
delivery by the District of an Installment Purchase Agreement, a
Trust Agreement, an Escrow Agreement and a Continuing
Disclosure Agreement in connection with the execution and
delivery of Orange County Sanitation District Wastewater
Refunding Revenue Obligations, Series 2015A, authorizing the
execution and delivery of such Revenue Obligations evidencing
principal in an aggregate amount of not to exceed $150,000,000,
approving a Notice of Intention to Sell, authorizing the distribution
of an Official Notice Inviting Bids and an Official Statement in
connection with the offering and sale of such Revenue Obligations
Page 2 of 5
and authorizing the execution of necessary documents and
related actions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District currently has 12 series of debt issuances outstanding in the par
amount of $1.13 billion. The table below lists each issuance, the outstanding amount,
and the interest rate mode.

(8) A portion to be refunded by the proposed Series 2016A
Legal Authorization and Approvals
The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation will each be required to adopt
separate Resolutions to complete this refunding. A Financing Corporation is required by
the structure of the Revenue Obligations and was formed in April 2000 solely to satisfy
this need. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is the same as the Board of Directors
of the Sanitation District and the Corporation meets after an adjournment of the OCSD
Board.
Page 3 of 5
The OCSD Resolution authorizes the execution and delivery of certain legal documents
and the execution and delivery of Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations, Series
2016A, evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to exceed $163,000,000 all
as spelled out in the title as follows:
"A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE
DISTRICT OF AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, A TRUST AGREEMENT,
AN ESCROW AGREEMENT AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT IN
CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT WASTEWATER REFUNDING REVENUE OBLIGATIONS,
SERIES 2016A, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUCH
REVENUE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCING PRINCIPAL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT
OF NOT TO EXCEED $163,000,000, APPROVING A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO
SELL, AUTHORIZING THE DISTRIBUTION OF AN OFFICIAL NOTICE INVITING BIDS
AND AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING AND SALE
OF SUCH REVENUE OBLIGATIONS AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND RELATED ACTIONS."
The Resolution of the Corporation is somewhat shorter and simpler. It authorizes three
actions that are similarly enumerated in the title as follows:
"A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT FINANCING CORPORATION AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE CORPORATION OF AN INSTALLMENT
PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND A TRUST AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
WASTEWATER REFUNDING REVENUE OBLIGATIONS, SERIES
2016A, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUCH REVENUE
OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCING PRINCIPAL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF NOT TO
EXCEED $163,000,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF NECESSARY
DOCUMENTS AND RELATED ACTIONS."
Timeline
Since the proposed refunding is a fixed-rate debt issuance, staff is proposing to issue the
refunding through a competitive sale because it is the most expeditious way to access
the market and it is expected to provide the lowest interest cost for this given structure.
➢ Board considers legal and disclosure documents
➢ Financing Corporation considers legal and disclosure
February documents
➢ Rating Agency discussions
➢ Publish Notice of Intention to Sell
March ➢ Marketing and Sale through a Competitive Sale Process
Page 4 of 5
April ➢ Closing
➢ Begin debt administration
All costs involved with the refunding, including costs for Public Resources Advisory
Group, serving as Financial Advisor, and Norton Rose Fulbright, serving as Special
Counsel and Disclosure Counsel, will be paid from the proceeds of the new refunding
issue.

each new Revenue Obligation executed and delivered by it under this Section and of the
expenses which may be incurred by it under this Section. Any Revenue Obligation executed and
delivered under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Revenue Obligation alleged to be
lost, destroyed or stolen shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits hereof with
all other Revenue Obligations executed and delivered hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be
required to treat both the original Revenue Obligation and any replacement Revenue Obligation
as being Outstanding for the purpose of determining the amount of Revenue Obligations which
may be executed and delivered hereunder or for the purpose of determining any percentage of

Obligation shall be treated as one and the same. Notwithstanding any other provision of this

evidenced by any Book-Entry Certificate registered in the name of the Nominee shall be made
on the applicable Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of New York clearing house or
equivalent next day funds or by wire transfer of same day funds to the account of the Nominee.

for the Nominee in the registration books maintained by the Trustee.
(b) With respect to Book-Entry Certificates, the District, the Corporation and the
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Person on behalf of
which such a Participant holds an interest in such Book-Entry Certificates. Without limiting the
immediately preceding sentence, the District, the Corporation and the Trustee shall have no
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i)the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the
Nominee or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in Book-Entry Certificates,
(ii)the delivery to any Participant or any other Person, other than an Owner as shown in the
registration books maintained by the Trustee, of any notice with respect to Book-Entry
Certificates, including any notice of prepayment, (in)the selection by the Depository and its
Participants of the beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates to be prepaid in the event
Revenue Obligations are prepaid in part, (iv)the payment to any Participant or any other Person,
other than an Owner as shown in the registration books maintained by the Trustee, of any
amount with respect to principal, premium, if any, or interest evidenced by Book-Entry
Certificates, or(v)any consent given or other action taken by the Depository as Owner.
(c) The District, the Corporation and the Trustee may treat and consider the Person in
whose name each Book-Entry Certificate is registered in the registration books maintained by the
Trustee as the absolute Owner of such Book-Entry Certificate for the purpose of payment of
principal, prepayment premium, if any, and interest evidenced by such Revenue Obligation, for
the purpose of selecting any Revenue Obligations, or portions thereof, to be prepaid, for the
purpose of giving notices of prepayment and other matters with respect to such Revenue
Obligation, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Revenue Obligation, for
the purpose of obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Owners and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and the District, the Corporation and the Trustee shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
(d) Reserved.
(e) The Trustee shall pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest evidenced by the
Revenue Obligations to the respective Owner, as shown in the registration books maintained by
the Trustee, or his respective attorney duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be
valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the obligations with respect to payment of
27003639.4 13
principal, premium, if any, and interest evidenced by the Revenue Obligations to the extent of
the sum or sums so paid. No Person other than an Owner, as shown in the registration books
maintained by the Trustee, shall receive a Revenue Obligation evidencing principal, premium, if
any, and interest evidenced by the Revenue Obligations. Upon delivery by the Depository to the
Owners, the Trustee and the District of written notice to the effect that the Depository has
determined to substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions
herein with respect to Record Dates, the word Nominee in this Trust Agreement shall refer to
such nominee of the Depository.
(f) To qualify the Book-Entry Certificates for the Depository's book-entry system,
the District shall execute and deliver to the Depository a Letter of Representations. The
execution and delivery of a Letter of Representations shall not in any way impose upon the
Corporation,the District or the Trustee any obligation whatsoever with respect to Persons having
interests in such Book-Entry Certificates other than the Owners, as shown on the registration
books maintained by the Trustee. Such Letter of Representations may provide the time, form,
content and manner of transmission, of notices to the Depository. In addition to the execution
and delivery of a Letter of Representations by the District, the District, the Corporation and the
Trustee shall take such other actions, not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement, as are
reasonably necessary to qualify Book-Entry Certificates for the Depository's book-entry
program.
(g) If the District determines that it is in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners
that they be able to obtain certificated Revenue Obligations and that such Revenue Obligations
should therefore be made available and notifies the Depository and the Trustee of such
determination, the Depository will notify the Participants of the availability through the
Depository of certificated Revenue Obligations. In such event, the Trustee shall transfer and
exchange certificated Revenue Obligations as requested by the Depository and any other Owners
in appropriate amounts. In the event (i)the Depository determines not to continue to act as
securities depository for Book-Entry Certificates, or(ii)the Depository shall no longer so act and
gives notice to the Trustee of such determination, then the District shall discontinue the Book-
Entry system with the Depository. If the District determines to replace the Depository with
another qualified securities depository, the District shall prepare or direct the preparation of a
new single, separate, fully registered Revenue Obligation for each stated Principal Payment Date
of such Book-Entry Certificates, registered in the name of such successor or substitute qualified
securities depository or its nominee. If the District fails to identify another qualified securities
depository to replace the Depository, then the Revenue Obligations shall no longer be restricted
to being registered in the registration books maintained by the Trustee in the name of the
Nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the Owners transferring or
exchanging such Revenue Obligations shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 2.06 and 2.09 hereof. Whenever the Depository requests the District to do so, the
District will cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice
(i)to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the Book-Entry Certificates to
any Participant having Book-Entry Certificates credited to its account with the Depository, and
(ii)to arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the
Book-Entry Certificates.
27003639.4 14
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement to the contrary, if
DTC is the sole Owner of the Revenue Obligations, so long as any Book-Entry Certificate is
registered in the name of the Nominee, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest
evidenced by such Revenue Obligation and all notices with respect to such Revenue Obligation
shall be made and given, respectively, as provided in the Letter of Representations or as
otherwise instructed by the Depository.
(i) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Owners
pursuant to the Trust Agreement by the District, the Corporation or the Trustee, with respect to
any consent or other action to be taken by Owners, the Trustee shall establish a record date for
such consent or other action and give the Depository notice of such record date not less than 15
calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible. Notice to the Depository
shall be given only when DTC is the sole Owner of the Revenue Obligations.

such prepayment is conditional upon receipt by the Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for such
prepayment, of moneys sufficient to pay for the prepayment price of the Revenue Obligations to

condition precedent to prepayment, and neither failure to receive such notice nor any defect
therein shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the prepayment of such Revenue
Obligations or the cessation of interest evidenced thereby on the date fixed for prepayment.

provided shall be conclusive as against all parties, and no Owner whose Revenue Obligation is
called for prepayment may object thereto or object to the cessation of interest evidenced thereby

27003639.4 22
Revenue Obligations or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction or

that if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on any Revenue Obligation to fail

thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless

Gross Proceeds, other than taxes of general application within the jurisdiction of the

a"private activity bond"within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Tax Regulations
and rulings thereunder,the District shall not use of Gross Proceeds of the Revenue Obligations to
make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For
purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be `loaned" to a
person or entity if: (i) property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds is
sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction that creates a debt for federal income tax
purposes; (ii) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity

Obligation to become an"arbitrage bond"within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and the
Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the District will not, at any time prior to the final

of any Investment acquired with Gross Proceeds of the Revenue Obligations, whether then held
or previously disposed of, would materially exceed the yield of the Revenue Obligations within
the meaning of said section 148.
(e) Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent such action or failure to act
would not pursuant to section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings
thereunder, adversely affect the exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of interest on the Revenue
Obligations from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the
District will not take or omit to take any action that would cause any Revenue Obligation to be
"federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax
Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(f) Information Report. The District will timely file any information necessary to the
exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of interest on the Revenue Obligations required
by section 149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other
form and in such place as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe.
(g) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of
the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the District will not at any time prior
to the final cancellation of the last of the Revenue Obligations to be retired, enter into any
transaction that reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to
section 148(f) of the Code because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss
than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the yield on the
Revenue Obligations not been relevant to either party.
(b) Revenue Obligations Satisfy Section 149(a). The District represents that neither
the Prior Issue nor the Revenue Obligations are or will become "hedge bonds" within the
meaning of section 149(g) of the Code. Without limitation of the foregoing, with respect to the
Prior Issue, (i)(A) on the date of execution and delivery of that issue the District reasonably
expected (based upon its own knowledge and upon representations made by other governmental
persons upon the issuance of those obligations) that within the tbree-year period commencing on
such date no less than 85% of the spendable proceeds of that issue would be expended for the
governmental purposes thereof and (B) the District believes and represents that at no time has
more than 50% of the proceeds of that issue been invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a
substantially guaranteed yield for a period of four years or more, and with respect to the
application of Proceeds of the Revenue Obligations other than for refunding purposes, (ii)(A) the
District will not deliver the Revenue Obligations unless on the date of the issuance of the
Revenue Obligations it reasonably expects that within the three-year period commencing on such
date of issuance at least 85% of such spendable proceeds of the Revenue Obligations will be
expended for the governmental purpose of the Revenue Obligations and (B) at no time will more
than 50% of such spendable proceeds of the Revenue Obligations be invested in Nonpurpose
Investments having a substantially guaranteed yield for a period of four years or more.
27003639.4 24
(i) Elections. The District hereby directs and authorizes any Authorized
Representative to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or
the Tax Regulations, as such Authorized Representative (after consultation with Bond Counsel)
deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Revenue Obligations, in the Tax
Certificate (as defined below)or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
0) Tax Certificate. The District agrees to execute and deliver in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Revenue Obligations a Tax Certificate as to Arbitrage and the
Provisions of Sections 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or similar document
containing additional representations and covenants pertaining to the exclusion of interest with
respect to the Revenue Obligations from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal
income tax purposes (the "Tax Certificate"), which representations and covenants are
incorporated as though expressly set forth herein.
Section 6.09. Continuing Disclosure. The District will comply with and carry out all of
the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement applicable to it. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Trust Agreement, failure of the District to comply with the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered an Event of Default; provided, however, the
Trustee at the request of any Participating Underwriter or the Owners of at least 25% aggregate
principal amount of Outstanding Revenue Obligations and upon being indemnified to its
reasonable satisfaction, shall, or any Owner or Beneficial Owner of Revenue Obligations may
take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate to compel performance, including seeking
mandate or specific performance by court order. The Trustee is authorized and directed to
execute the acceptance and acknowledgement of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.
Section 6.10. Further Assurances. The District will promptly execute and deliver or
cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further assurances, documents or
instruments and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things as may be
necessary or reasonably required in order to carry out the purposes and intentions of this Trust

promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing; provided, however, that in the
event the District and the Corporation do not appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days
following receipt of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the
District, petition the appropriate court having jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Any
resignation or removal of a Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee
appointed under this Trust Agreement shall signify its acceptance of such appointment by
executing and delivering to the District and the Corporation and to its predecessor Trustee a
written acceptance thereof, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally named
Trustee herein;but,nevertheless, at the written request of the District or of the successor Trustee,
such predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of conveyance or
27003639.4 29

certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all the right, title and interest of
such predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under this Trust Agreement and shall
pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property
subject to the trusts and conditions herein set forth.

merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate
trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association
resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party,
provided that such entity meets the combined capital and surplus requirements of this Section,
ipso facto, shall be and become successor trustee under this Trust Agreement and vested with all
the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its
predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or
conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.03. Compensation and Indemnification of the Trustee. The District shall
from time to time, subject to any written agreement then in effect with the Trustee, pay the
Trustee reasonable compensation for all its services rendered hereunder and reimburse the
Trustee for all its reasonable advances and expenditures (which shall not include "overhead
expenses" except as such expenses are included as a component of the Trustee's stated annual
fees or disclosed transaction fees) hereunder, including but not limited to advances to and
reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of accountants, agents, appraisers, consultants or other
experts, and counsel not directly employed by the Trustee but an attorney or firm of attorneys
retained by the Trustee, employed by it in the exercise and performance of its rights and
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not have any lien for such
compensation or reimbursement against any moneys held by it in any of the funds or accounts
established hereunder. The Trustee may take whatever legal actions are lawfully available to it
directly against the Corporation or the District.

shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
hereunder.
The District, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to indemnify and save the Trustee, its
directors, officers, employees and agents harmless against any costs, expenses, claims and
liabilities which it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder
or any other document related to this Trust Agreement, including but not limited to costs and
expenses incurred in defending against any claim or liability, which are not due to its negligence
or willful misconduct.
Section 8.04. Protection of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur
no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any affidavit, bond, certificate, consent,
notice, request, requisition, resolution, statement, waiver or other paper or document which it
shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been adopted, executed or delivered by the
27003639.4 30
proper party or pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, and the Trustee shall be under no duty
to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any
such instrument, but may accept and rely upon the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and
accuracy of such statements. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or direction of any of the
Owners of the Revenue Obligations pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Owners shall
have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against
the reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction. The Trustee may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the
Corporation or the District, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection in respect to any action taken or suffered by it
hereunder in good faith in accordance therewith.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency of the Revenue Obligations or the
Installment Purchase Agreement, or of the assignment made to it hereunder, or for statements

default or Event of Default hereunder, except failure of any of the payments to be made to the
Trustee required to be made hereunder or under the Installment Purchase Agreement, unless the
Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such default or Event of Default by the
District, the Corporation or the Owners of not less than 5% of the aggregate principal evidenced
by the Revenue Obligations then Outstanding.
Whenever in the administration of its rights and obligations hereunder the Trustee shall
deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering
any action hereunder, such matter(unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Written Certificate of
the District or a Written Certificate of the Corporation, and such certificate shall be full warrant
to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered under the provisions hereof upon the faith thereof,
but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may
require such additional evidence as it deems reasonable.
The Trustee may buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Revenue Obligations and
may join in any action which any Owner may be entitled to take with like effect as if the Trustee
were not a party hereto. The Trustee, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be
interested in any financial or other transaction with the Corporation or the District, and may act
as agent, depository or trustee for any committee or body of Owners or of owners of obligations
of the Corporation or the District as freely as if it were not the Trustee hereunder.
The Trustee may, to the extent reasonably necessary, execute any of the trusts or powers
hereof and perform any rights and obligations required of it hereunder by or through agents,
attorneys or receivers, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust
and its rights and obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for the
negligence or misconduct of any such agent, attorney or receiver selected by it with reasonable
care; provided, however, that in the event of any negligence or misconduct of any such attorney,
agent or receiver, the Trustee shall diligently pursue all remedies of the Trustee against such
27003639.4 31
agent, attorney or receiver. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made by it
in good faith unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts.
The Trustee shall not be answerable for the exercise of any trusts or powers hereunder or
for anything whatsoever in connection with the funds established hereunder, except only for its
own willful misconduct, negligence or breach of an obligation hereunder.
The Trustee may, on behalf of the Owners, intervene in any judicial proceeding to which
the Corporation or the District is a party and which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel,
affects the Revenue Obligations or the security therefor, and shall do so if requested in writing
by the Owners of at least 5% of the aggregate principal evidenced by Revenue Obligations then
Outstanding, provided the Trustee shall have no duty to take such action unless it has been
indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all risk or liability arising from such action.
The Trustee will not be considered in breach of or in default in its obligations hereunder
or progress in respect thereto in the event of delay in the performance of such obligations due to
unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence ("unavoidable
delay"), including, but not limited to, acts of God or of the public enemy or terrorists, acts of a
government, acts of the other parties, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes,
freight embargoes, earthquakes, explosion, mob violence, riot, inability to procure or general
sabotage or rationing of labor, equipment, facilities, sources of energy,material or supplies in the

Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Revenue Obligation or portion thereof selected
for prepayment from and after the date of mailing the notice of prepayment thereof.

purposes, whether or not the principal or interest evidenced by this Revenue Obligation shall be
overdue, and the Trustee shall not be affected by any knowledge or notice to the contrary; and
payment of the principal and interest evidenced by this Revenue Obligation shall be made only
to such Registered Owner, which payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge
the liability evidenced by this Revenue Obligation to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

evidenced thereby or change the prepayment terms and provisions or the provisions regarding
delivery of notice of prepayment without the prior written consent of the Owner of each Revenue
Obligation so affected, (b)reduce the percentage of Owners whose consent is required for the
execution of any amendment of or supplement to the Trust Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Owners of all Revenue Obligations then outstanding, (c)modify any of the rights

date of such sale, transfer, redemption or other disposition and substitution and applicable to
obligations issued on the date of execution and delivery of the Revenue Obligations.

incur no liability in respect thereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in connection with the
performance of its duties under this Escrow Agreement except for its own negligence, willful
misconduct or default, and the duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be determined by
the express provisions of this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel,

counsel shall have full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith in accordance therewith. Whenever the Escrow Agent

field of law relating to municipal bonds) may be deemed to be conclusively established by a
written certification of the District.

successor Escrow Agent, which court may thereupon, upon such notice as it shall deem proper,

Obligations to be prepaid among Revenue Obligations with different Principal Payment Dates as directed
in a Written Request of the District. Whenever less than all the Outstanding Revenue Obligations with
the same stated Principal Payment Date are to be prepaid on any one date in accordance with the Trust
Agreement, the Trustee shall select the Revenue Obligations with such Principal Payment Date to be
prepaid as directed in a Written Request of the District, or at the discretion of the District by lot in any
manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, which decision shall be final and binding upon the
District and the Owners. The Trustee shall promptly notify the District in writing of the numbers of the
Revenue Obligations so selected for prepayment on such date. For purposes of such selection, any
Revenue Obligation may be prepaid in part in Authorized Denominations.
Notice of Prepayment When prepayment of Revenue Obligations is authorized pursuant to the
Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall give notice, at the expense of the District, of the prepayment of the
Revenue Obligations. The notice of prepayment shall specify(a) the Revenue Obligations or designated
portions thereof(in the case of prepayment of the Revenue Obligations in part but not in whole)which are

including the time and address of any paying agent, (d)the prepayment price, (e)the CUSIP numbers
assigned to the Revenue Obligations to be prepaid, (1)the numbers of the Revenue Obligations to be
prepaid in whole or in part and, in the case of any Revenue Obligation to be prepaid in part only, the
principal evidenced by such Revenue Obligation to be prepaid, and (g)the interest rate and stated
Principal Payment Date of each Revenue Obligation to be prepaid in whole or in part. Such notice of
prepayment shall further state that on the specified date there shall become due and payable upon each
Revenue Obligation or portion thereof being prepaid the prepayment price and that from and after such
date interest evidenced thereby shall cease to accrue and be payable. With respect to any notice of
optional prepayment of Revenue Obligations, unless at the time such notice is given the Revenue

such notice shall state that such prepayment is conditional upon receipt by the Trustee, on or prior to the
date fixed for such prepayment, of moneys sufficient to pay for the prepayment price of the Revenue
Obligations to be prepaid,and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of
no force and effect and the District shall not be required to prepay such Revenue Obligations. In the
event a notice of prepayment of Revenue Obligations contains such a condition and such moneys are not
so received, the prepayment of Revenue Obligations as described in the conditional notice of prepayment
shall not be made and the Trustee shall,within a reasonable time after the date on which such prepayment
was to occur, give notice to the persons and in the manner in which the notice of prepayment was given,
that such moneys were not so received and that there shall be no prepayment of Revenue Obligations
pursuant to such notice of prepayment.

of prepayment to the respective Owners of Revenue Obligations designated for prepayment by first-class
mail,postage prepaid, at their addresses appearing on the registration books maintained by the Trustee as
of the close of business on the day before such notice of prepayment is given.
The actual receipt by the Owner of any notice of such prepayment shall not be a condition
precedent to prepayment, and neither failure to receive such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the
validity of the proceedings for the prepayment of such Revenue Obligations or the cessation of interest
evidenced thereby on the date fixed for prepayment.
Effect of Prepayment I£notice of prepayment has been duly given as aforesaid and moneys for
the payment of the prepayment price of the Revenue Obligations to be prepaid are held by the Trustee,
27002232.5 7
then on the prepayment date designated in such notice,the Revenue Obligations so called for prepayment
shall become payable at the prepayment price specified in such notice; and from and after the date so
designated,interest evidenced by the Revenue Obligations so called for prepayment shall cease to accrue,
such Revenue Obligations shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security hereunder and the Owners
of such Revenue Obligations shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the
prepayment price thereof. The Trustee shall, upon surrender for payment of any of the Revenue
Obligations to be prepaid, pay such Revenue Obligations at the prepayment price thereof, and such
moneys shall be pledged to such payment.
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE REVENUE OBLIGATIONS
Installment Payments
Pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, the Project will be reacquired by the District
from the Corporation. The District has covenanted to, subject to any rights of prepayment under the
Installment Purchase Agreement, pay to the Corporation, solely from Net Revenues and from no other
sources, the Purchase Price in Installment Payments, with interest thereon, as provided in the Installment
Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District has established and declared the
conditions and terns upon which obligations such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, and the
Installment Payments and the interest thereon payable under the Installment Purchase Agreement,will be
incurred and seemed. The obligation of the District to make the Installment Payments, and payments of
interest thereon,and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement,
solely from Net Revenues,is absolute and unconditional,and until such time as the Installment Payments,
payments of interest thereon, and such other payments shall have been paid in full (or provision for the
payment thereof shall have been made pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement), the District has
covenanted that it will not discontinue or suspend any Installment Payments when due,whether or not the
Project or any part thereof is operating or operable or has been completed, or its use is suspended,
interfered with, reduced or curtailed or terminated in whole or in part, and such Installment Payments,
payments of interest thereon, and other payments shall not be subject to reduction whether offset or
otherwise and shall not be conditional upon the performance or nonperformance by any party of any
agreement or any cause whatsoever. The District's obligation to make Installment Payments from Net
Revenues is on a parity with the District's obligation to make payments with respect to its Outstanding
Senior Obligations. See "Net Revenues" below. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Corporation has
assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Revenue Obligations substantially all of its
rights, title and interest in and to the Installment Purchase Agreement, including its right to receive
Installment Payments and the interest thereon.
The District has certain Existing Senior Obligations Outstanding payable from Net Revenues on a
parity with the Installment Payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The term "Existing
Senior Obligations" as used in this Official Statement refers to the Installment Purchase Agreements
relating to the District's currently Outstanding Senior Obligations, as set forth on Table 16 under the
caption "FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS—Existing Indebtedness"herein. The term"Senior Obligations"
as used in this Official Statement refers to the Existing Senior Obligations and to any additional Senior
Obligations, such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, that may be made payable on a parity basis to
the Installment Payments as provided in the Master Agreement. Senior Obligations, together with any
Subordinate Obligations payable on a subordinate basis to the Installment Payments incurred as provided
in the Master Agreement, are referred to collectively as the "Obligations." The District has no
Subordinate Obligations currently outstanding. See "FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS Existing
Indebtedness" herein and APPENDIX C — "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS —
Master Agreement"attached hereto.
27002232.5 8
The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payments, and the interest thereon, and other
payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement and Master Agreement, is
a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase
Agreement, solely from Net Revenues and other funds provided for in the Installment Purchase
Agreement, and does not constitute a debt of the District,the State or any political subdivision thereof,in
contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. Neither the faith and credit
nor the taxing power of the District, the State or any political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the
payment of the Installment Payments, or the interest thereon, or other payments required to be made
under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior
Obligation and, as such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the
advantages, benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuam to the Master
Agreement. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE REVENUE
OBLIGATIONS"herein.
Available Funds of the District
As Senior Obligations under the Master Agreement, the Installment Payments are payable from
and secured by a pledge of Net Revenues. Should Net Revenues prove insufficient, the Installment
Purchase Agreement further provides that the Installment Payments are payable from any other lawfully
available funds of the District. The primary lawfully available funds of the District are its reserve funds,
other than trustee-held amounts required to be in any Obligation Reserve Fund securing certain of the
District's Senior Obligations, as described in the Master Agreement. At June 30, 2015, the District's
Debt Service Required Reserves totaled $129.0 million, of which $33.0 million were trustee-held
amounts in Obligation Reserve Funds as required under the Master Agreement. See APPENDIX C —
"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS —Master Agreement" attached hereto. District
reserve funds are maintained in accordance with the District's reserve policy. See "DISTRICT
REVENUES — Reserves." Available reserves at June 30, 2014 were approximately $713.7 million
(consisting of$673 million in cash and investments and$40.7 million due from the Orange County Flood
Control District) and available reserves at June 30, 2015 were approximately $588.0 million (consisting
of$556.9 million in cash and investments and $31.1 million due from the Orange County Flood Control
District). See "DISTRICT REVENUES — Reserves," "— Summary of Operating Data" and "—
Projected Operating Data."

money received during such period howsoever derived by the District from the operation or ownership of
the Wastewater System or arising from the Wastewater System (including any standby or availability
27002232.5 9
charges), but excluding (a)Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, (b)payments received under Financial
Contracts, and (c)refundable deposits made to establish credit and advances or contributions in aid of
construction(which, for purposes of the Master Agreement, shall not include payments under the IRWD
Agreement); provided, however, that (i)Revenues shall be increased by the amounts, if any, transferred
during such period from the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account and shall be decreased by
the amounts, if any, transferred during such period from the Revenue Account to the Rate Stabilization
Account, and(ii)Revenues shall include Capital Facilities Capacity Charges collected during such period
to the extent that such Capital Facilities Capacity Charges could be properly expended on a Capital
Facilities Capacity Charge Eligible Project for which the proceeds of Senior Obligations were used or we
available to be used. Any Federal Subsidy payments received by the District will constitute Revenues as
defined in the Master Agreement. See"DISTRICT REVENUES—Additional Revenues"herein.
The District's obligation to make the Installment Payments from its Net Revenues is on a parity
with the District's obligation to make payments with respect to its other outstanding obligations described
as Senior Obligations and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations,as provided
in the Master Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as
such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits,
interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement Pursuant to the
Master Agreement, the District pledges all Net Revenues to the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, and the Net Revenues will not be used for
any other purpose while any of the Senior Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Senior Obligations remain unpaid; provided, however, that out of the Net Revenues there may be
apportioned such sums for such purposes as are expressly permitted by the Master Agreement. This
pledge constitutes a first lien on the Net Revenues for the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. The term"Senior Obligations"generally
means all revenue bonds or notes(including bond anticipation notes and commercial paper)of the District
authorized, issued,executed and delivered under and pursuant to applicable law, the Installment Purchase
Agreement, and all other contracts (including financial contracts) or leases of the District authorized and
executed by the District under and pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, installment,
lease or other payments which are, in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, payable
from Net Revenues on a parity with the payments under the Master Agreement.
The District may at any time incur Subordinate Obligations payable on a subordinate basis to the
Installment Payments as provided in the Master Agreement; provided, however, that prior to incurring
such Subordinate Obligations, the District shall have determined that the incurrence thereof will not
materially adversely affect the District's ability to comply with the requirements of the Master
Agreement. The District may at any time incur Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate
Obligations. For a description of the District's Outstanding Senior Obligations and Subordinate
Obligations, see "FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS — Existing Indebtedness" herein. There me currently
no Subordinate Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate Obligations
outstanding.
The District may, in connection with the incurrence of Subordinate Obligations, pledge Net
Revenues to the payment of Subordinate Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that such pledge, and any lien created thereby, shall be
junior and subordinate to the pledge of, and lien on,Net Revenues for the payment of Senior Obligations
and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations.
27002232.5 10
Rate Stabilization Account
To avoid fluctuations in its fees and charges of the Wastewater System, from time to time the
District may deposit in the Rate Stabilization Account from Net Revenues such amounts as the District
deems necessary or appropriate. From time to time, the District may also transfer moneys from the Rate
Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account to be used by the District, first to pay all Maintenance and
Operations Costs as and when the same shall be due and payable. In addition, any such amount
transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account by the District is included as
Revenues for any period, but such transferred amount is excluded from determining Operating Revenues
for any period. Revenues will be decreased by the amounts,if any,transferred from the Revenue Account
to the Rate Stabilization Account. There are presently no funds in the Rate Stabilization Account.
Allocation of Revenues
To carry out and effectuate the pledge of Net Revenues under the Master Agreement as described
above, the District agrees and covenants that all Operating Revenues received by the District will be
deposited when and as received in the Revenue Account. Additionally, amounts may, from time to time
as the District deems necessary or appropriate, be transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account and
deposited in the Revenue Account,as described above order'—Rate Stabilization Account'above. The
District will pay from the Revenue Account all Maintenance and Operations Costs (including amounts
reasonably required to be set aside in contingency reserves for Maintenance and Operations Costs, the
payment of which is not immediately required)as and when the same shall be due and payable.
After having paid, or having made provisions for the payment of, Maintenance and Operations
Costs, the District shall set aside and deposit or transfer, as the case may be, from the Revenue Account
such amounts at such times as provided in the Master Agreement in the following order of priority:
(1) Senior Obligation Payment Account;
(2) Senior Obligation Reserve Funds (the Revenue Obligations are not secured by any
Reserve Fund);
(3) Subordinate Obligation Payment Account;
(4) Subordinate Obligation Reserve Funds;and
(5) Rate Stabilization Account.
Amounts required or permitted to be deposited or transferred as described in items 2, 3, 4 and 5
above, shall not be so deposited or transferred unless the District shall have determined that there will be
sufficient Net Revenues available to make the required deposits or transfers on the dates on which such
deposits or transfers we required to be made as described above. So long as the District has determined
that Net Revenues will be sufficient to make all of the deposits or transfers required to be made pursuant
to items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 above, on the dates on which such deposits or transfers are required to be made,
Net Revenues on deposit in the Revenue Account may from time to time be used for any purpose for
which the District fonds may be legally applied. For additional information, see APPENDIX C —
"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Master Agreement."
27002232.5 11
Rate Covenant
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will,to the extent permitted by law, fix, prescribe
and collect fees and charges for the services of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to
yield during each Fiscal Year(a)Net Revenues equal to 125%of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for
such Fiscal Year and (b)Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for
such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may
make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the fees and charges then in
effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be
sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement.
In addition, the District has covenanted in the Master Agreement to prepare and adopt an annual
budget for the Wastewater System for each Fiscal Year. Such budget will set forth in reasonable detail

Revenues in such Fiscal Year,and will show that Revenues and Net Revenues will be at least sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Master Agreement. On or before September 1 of each Fiscal Yen, the
District will file with the Trustee a copy of the adopted budget for such Fiscal Year. See APPENDIX C
— "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Master Agreement' for additional
information.
The District has an established reserve policy with eight separate reserve fund categories. Over
the next ten years,the yew ending reserve total for each yew is projected not to fall below$500 million as
indicated in the District's ten-year cash flow forecast for Fiscal Years 2015-16 through 2024-25. At its

THE DISTRICT
Background
The Orange County Sanitation District is a public agency responsible for regional wastewater
collection, treatment and disposal. The District is the sixth largest wastewater discharger in the United
States. The District provides service to an area with a population of approximately 2.5 million people in
the northern and central portion of the County by treating an average of 190 mg/d of wastewater in Fiscal
Year 2014-15. The District serves approximately 81% of the County population in approximately 479
square miles,or approximately 60%of the County's area.
The service area which comprises the District was originally formed in 1954 pursuant to the
County Sanitation District Act, as amended, Section 4700 et seq. of the Health and Safety Code of the
State. The District's service area originally consisted of seven independent special districts in the County
which were each responsible for matters relating to their individual districts. These special districts were
jointly responsible for the treatment and disposal facilities which they each used. The seven independent
districts were successors to the Joint Outfall Sewer Organization, which was Formed in 1923 among the
Cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fullerton, and Orange, and the sanitary districts of Placentia, Buena Park,
La Habra, and Garden Grove. The Joint Outfall Sewer Organization constructed a treatment plant and
outfall in the early 1920s to serve its members. It was reorganized in 1947 and 1948 into seven county
sanitation districts — District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11. These prior districts were formed based on
engineers' analyses of the gravity flows in the service area. District No. 13 was formed in 1985 and
District No. 14 was added in 1986. These districts were co-participants in a Joint Agreement which
provided for the joint construction,ownership,and operation of the prior districts'joint facilities.
In April 1998, at the request of the Board of Directors of the District (the `Board of Directors"),
the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange (the "County Board") passed Resolution No. 98-140
approving the consolidation of the then existing nine special districts into a new, single sanitation district,
to be known as the Orange County Sanitation District This action was designed to simplify governance
structures, reduce the size of the Board of Directors, ease administrative processes, streamline decision-
making, and consolidate accounting and auditing processes. The consolidation was effective on July 1,
1998.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 98-140 and Government Code Section 57500, the prior districts
transferred and assigned all of their powers, rights, duties, obligations, functions and properties to the
District, and the District assumed all obligations of the prior districts which were several and not joint
including, without limitation, their obligations to repay the then outstanding certificates of participation.
The boundaries of the nine predecessor special districts were initially used by the District to delineate
separate revenue areas (the "Revenue Areas") for budgeting and accounting purposes and in order to
facilitate the imposition of fees and charges imposed by the District. See "DISTRICT REVENUES —
Sewer Service Charges"herein.
The District is managed by the Board of Directors, whose members are appointed by 25 member
cities and agencies which are serviced by the District. The District is responsible for construction and
maintenance of a major portion of the wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities within its
boundaries. Revenue Area No. 7 is responsible for approximately 170 miles of local sewers in its service
area, whereas local sanitary districts, water districts and cities are responsible for local sewers in the
remainder of the District's service area.
27002232.5 16
Organization and Administration
The District is independent of and overlaps other political jurisdictions. There are many
governmental entities,including the County,that operate within the District's jurisdiction. These entities
are exclusively responsible for the administration of their own fiscal affairs,and the District is not entitled
to operating surpluses of,or responsible for operating deficits of,any of the other entities.
The 25-member Board of Directors is composed of representatives from 20 cities, four special
districts and a member representing the County. Several board committees, made up of members of the
Board of Directors, consider topics for action by the Board of Directors and make recommendations to
the Board of Directors. The Chair and the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors are elected every year by
a majority of the Board of Directors, and serve at the pleasure of a majority of the Board of Directors.
The District has a general manager, outside general counsel, and administrative and operating

Services
The District owns and operates regional wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities
for the metropolitan area in the northern and central portion of the County. The District receives
wastewater from the collection systems of the cities, sanitary districts and unincorporated areas of the
County located within the District. See"THE DISTRICT—Service Areas"herein.
Generally, local agency systems collect wastewater from residential and industrial customers and
convey the wastewater to District trunk sewer pipelines for conveyance to the District's wastewater
treatment plants.
The District's staff is responsible for operating and maintaining the District's infrastructure,
although some work is performed by external contractors.
Currently, the District has established supply contracts for all chemicals necessary to the
operation and maintenance of the facilities of the District. The District has sufficient standby systems in
the event of equipment failures or system outages.
Service Area
The map on the inside cover of this Official Statement shows the District's boundaries and
selected cities located within the District. District boundaries were originally established in 1947 and
1948 based on drainage basins. As the existing cities have grown and new areas have incorporated, city
limits have come to overlap District boundaries. The District currently serves an approximately 479
square-mile area including 23 of the County's 34 cities and various unincorporated areas of the County.
The District serves a population of approximately 2.5 million residents.

nine-member Board of Retirement. OCERS was established in 1945 under the provisions of the County
Employees Retirement Law of 1937,and provides members with retirement,death,disability,and cost of-
living benefits.
All full-time and part-time District employees participate in OCERS. Contributions are based on
an OCERS actuarial-determined rate structure and age at time of employment; contributions are deducted
on a pre-tax basis. Most employees do not pay into Social Security with the exception of 1.45% of gross
income, which is paid into the Medicare portion of Social Security. The amount of the retirement
allowance is based upon the member's age at retirement,the member's"final compensation"as defined in
Section 31462 of the Retirement Law of 1937, the total years of service under OCERS, and the
employee's classification as a Plan B, G, H or U member. Plan U applies to all full-time and part-time
employees hired on or after January 1, 2013. Plan B applies to supervisor and professional employees
hired on or after October 1, 2010, Local 501 employees hired on or after July 1, 2011 and OCEA
employees hired on or after August 1, 2011. Plan G applies to employees hired before September 21,
1979. Plan H applies to employees hired on or after September 21, 1979 and prior to the eligibility dates
for Plan B or Plan U. Plan G and H provide 2.5% of final compensation per year of service at age 55.
Plan B provides 1.667% of final compensation per year of service at age 57.5,and Plan U provides 2%at
62. "Final compensation"is the highest consecutive 12 months of compensation for Plan G members and
the highest consecutive 36 months of compensation divided by three for Plan B, H, and U members.
Benefits fully vest under the OCERS retirement plan upon reaching five years of service. Employees
who retire at or after age 50 with ten or more years of service are eligible to receive an annual retirement
allowance, but at a reduced benefit for those employees retiring prior to age 62 for Plan U members, 57.5
for Plan B members, or prior to age 55 for Plan G and H members. OCERS also provides death and
disability benefits.
As a condition of participation under the provisions of the County Employees Retirement Law of
1937, members are required to contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to OCERS. The
District contributes a portion of the employee's contribution to OCERS for members of Plans G and H
based on a percentage of the covered employee's base salary. Members of Plans U and B do not receive
any contributions toward employee contribution to OCERS. As of the December 31, 2014 valuation,
OCERS had an aggregate Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability("UAAL")of$5.29 billion, and a funded
ratio of 69.42%.

For Fiscal Years 2010-11 through 2014-15, the District's required contribution was equal to the
contribution that the District actually made, except for Fiscal Year 2014-15,when the District contributed
an additional $125 million to OCERS to pay down the District's net pension liability. On September 3,
2015, the District again made an additional contribution to OCERS, in the amount of$50 million. The
District's net pension liability was approximately$194 million as of July 1, 2014 and approximately$57
million as of July 1, 2015. For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2015, total payroll costs of District
employees covered by OCERS was$61,295,869.
The District's retirement program includes Additional Retiree Benefit Account ("ARBA')
benefits. ARBA benefits provide a monthly payment to retirees towards the premium costs of health
insurance for the retiree and eligible dependents. The retiree is not required to use this amount for health
insurance premium or to remain on the OCERS medical plan. Benefits vest upon retirement. The District
pays 100%of the cost for the ARBA plan and utilizes a pay-as-you-go method for funding the plan. The
District paid $500,640 in AR13A benefits during Fiscal Year 2014-15. As of August 1, 2011, AR13A
benefits are no longer available to new OCEA Group employees of the District.
For more information regarding OCERS and the District's retirement plan as of June 30, 2015,
see Note 5 and 6 to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District
for the Year Ended June 30, 2015 set forth in Appendix A. The Comprehensive Annual Financial
Reports of the Orange County Employees Retirement System are available on the OCERS website at
http://www.ocers.org. The information on such website is not incorporated herein by such reference or
otherwise. The District cannot predict whether the OCERS investment portfolio will experience
additional losses in the future; however, any future losses could result in material increases in the
District's required contributions.
27002232.5 21
Other Post-Employment Benefits
In June 2004, Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") issued Statement No. 45,
which requires state and local governmental employers to fund the actuarially determined annual required
contribution ("ARC")for its post-employment benefits other than pension benefits (known as other post-
employment benefits or"OPEB") or record the entire amount of the unfunded liability of its OPEB in its
financial statements. OPEB includes healthcare and life insurance expenses and related liabilities, and an
annual required contribution to fund such liabilities. The District adopted Statement No. 45 for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 2007, as required of a GASB "Phase 1 Agency." According to the District's
actuary, Demsey Filliger Associates (the "Actuary"), the unfunded OPEB liability as of July 1, 2013 is
approximately $11.6 million. The ARC was determined to be $900,035 for Fiscal Year 2013-14 and
$755,078 for each of Fiscal Years 2014-15 and 2015-16, the period covered by the last actuarial
valuation. Calculation of the ARC is based on the present value of benefits accruing in the current year,a
30-year amortization of the unfunded OPEB liability and an assumed rate of return on investments in the
retiree fund of 4%per annum. The District does not believe that its OPEB liability will have a material
impact on its operational results.
Risk Management
As of the date hereof, the District has in force basic all risk property and casualty insurance,
including theft, fire, flood,terrorism and boiler and machinery losses at its plants and pump stations. The
District is self-insured for portions of workers' compensation,property damage and general liability. The
self-insurance portion of workers' compensation is $750,000 per person per occurrence with outside
excess insurance coverage to the statutory limit. The self-insured portion for property damage covering
fire and other disasters is $250,000 per occurrence with outside excess insurance coverage to $1 billion.
The self-insured portion for property damage covering flood is $100,000 per occurrence with outside
excess insurance coverage to $300 million. The District also maintains outside comprehensive boiler and
machinery insurance, including business interruption insurance, with a $100 million limit with
deductibles ranging from$25,000 to$350,000.
The District is self-insured for general liability coverage up to $500,000 per occurrence, with
excess general liability coverage up to $40 million. In addition, the District relies on a combination of
self-insurance and District reserves for all property damage from the perils of seismic activity as well as
the expectation that some disaster relief funds may be available from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency("FEMA") to address any resulting damage. See "DISTRICT REVENUES —Reserves" and "—
Integrated Emergency Response Program." There is no assurance that, in the event of a significant
seismic event, a combination of self-insurance, District reserves or FEMA assistance would be available
or sufficient for the repair or replacement of the affected property.
During the past five fiscal years there have been no settlements in excess of covered amounts.
Claims against the District are processed by outside claim administrators. The District believes that there
are no unrecorded claims as of June 30, 2015 that would materially affect the financial position of the
District.
For more information regarding the District's insurance coverage as of June 30, 2015, see Note 1
to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Year Ended
June 30,2015 set forth in Appendix A.

Existing Facilities
The Wastewater System presently consists of two wastewater treatment plants, an influent
metering and diversion structure, 15 off-plant pump stations,various interplant pipelines and connections,
and the ocean outfall facilities. The District's Wastewater System includes approximately 403 miles of
sewers within 11 trunk sewer systems, 170 miles of local sewers located within a portion of Revenue
Area No. 7, two treatment plants, two discharge outfalls and two emergency weir outlets. The existing
treatment plants have a rated primary treatment capacity of 372 mg/d, including standby capacity.
Treatment Plant No. 1 ("Plant No. 1") is located in the City of Fountain Valley, about four miles
from the coast, adjacent to the Santa Ana River. Secondary treatment capabilities are provided by a
trickling filter plant and two conventional air activated sludge plants. Up to 105 mg/d of secondary
treated effluent is conveyed to a plant owned by the Orange County Water District (the "OCWD") for
tertiary treatment prior to reclamation and groundwater recharge. See "Groundwater Replenishment
System"below.
Treatment Plant No. 2 ("Plant No.2")is located in the City of Huntington Beach, 1,500 feet from
the ocean, at the mouth of the Santa Ana River. Secondary treatment capabilities are provided by a Pure
Oxygen Activated Sludge plant and a Solids Contact Trickling Filter plant.
The District employs several phases in the treatment of wastewater. The first phase,preliminary
treatment,removes debris such as eggshells, sand and other non-biodegradable items. See also"Preferred
Level of Treatment" and `Biosolids Management" below. In the next phase, primary treatment,
wastewater is pumped to large settling basins. The liquids are separated from the remaining solids which
settle or float as the wastewater passes through large settling basins called clarifiers. The settled solids
are sent to solids treatment facilities. All of the wastewater received by the District is sent to secondary
treatment for further processing. During secondary treatment, the wastewater is treated with naturally
occurring bacteria to remove most of the remaining dissolved and suspended microscopic organic solids.
The treated wastewater from both plants is mixed together at Plant No.2,where it is then pumped through
the ocean outfall pipe that extends five miles offshore.
Set forth in Table 4 below are the treatment plants' approximate treatment capacities.

The District also has the capability to divert a portion of the influent flow from Plant No. 1 to
Plant No. 2 through interplant connections. A portion of the flow destined for Plant No. 2 can also be
diverted to Plant No. 1. Another interplant facility allows gas generated during solids treatment to be
transported between Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 and allows digester gas(which is used as fuel for many
27002232.5 23
of the facilities' engines)from one plant to be used at the other to balance the supply and demand, which
results in efficient gas utilization.
Permits,Licenses and Other Regulations
The District is subject to laws, rules and permits issued by federal, state, regional and local
regulatory bodies. The Wastewater System is subject to regulations imposed by the 1972 Clean Water
Act,as amended(the"Clean Water Act"),the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended
("CEQA")and the Federal Clean Air Act. The regulatory requirements are primarily administered by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), the California Air Resources Board, the
Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (`RWQCB"), and the South Coast Air Quality
Management District ("AQMD"). Regulations of these agencies deal primarily with the quality of
effluent which may be discharged from the treatment plants and air quality emissions. The Clean Water
Act directs the EPA to monitor and to regulate the discharge of pollution into navigable waterways and to
enforce the requirements that all wastewater treatment plants in the nation provide full secondary
treatment for sewage. In 1977, Congress amended the Clean Water Act to allow waivers of secondary
treatment standards for certain ocean dischargers, if they can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the EPA
that significant adverse environmental impacts would not occur. The District currently has all applicable
permits and licenses necessary to operate its facilities.
The District has discharged treated wastewater into the Pacific Ocean under a permit issued by
the EPA and the RWQCB. The discharge permit included a waiver under the Section 301(h) provisions
of the Clean Water Act, allowing for less than full secondary treatment based on an ocean discharge of
sufficient depth, distance and dilution. The permit was initially issued in 1985 and was the first modified
Section 301(h)permit issued to a major wastewater treatment facility. The permit was re-issued on May
6, 1998 and expired on June 8,2003.
On July 17, 2002, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. OCSD 02-14, "Establishing the
Policy for Level of Treatment of Wastewater Discharged into the Ocean." This resolution established the
District's policy to treat all wastewater discharges into the ocean to secondary treatment standards,
thereby providing for continued public safety, marine ecosystem protection, and water reclamation
opportunities. To implement this policy, District staff was directed to immediately proceed with the
planning, design, and implementation of treatment methods that will allow the District to meet Clean
Water Act secondary treatment standards with the expressed purposes of eliminating the need for the
permit waiver received under Section 301(h). The District completed these improvements on time by
December 2012 at a total capital improvement cost of$537.8 million.
Following the determination by the Board of Directors in July 2002 to implement full secondary
standards, staff prepared the Secondary Treatment National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
("NPDES") Permit Application that was required to be submitted to the regional office of the EPA and
the RWQCB in December 2002. The NPDES permit was approved by the EPA and became effective on
October 31, 2004, and is subject to renewal every five years. The District's current NPDES permit
became effective on July 20, 2012 and will expire on July 19, 2017. Federal regulations require
pemuttees to apply for a new application at least 180 days prior to the current permit expiration date.
District staff has begun the process of preparing a permit application in advance of the 2017 permit
expiration date.
The District is also subject to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act which mandates
attainment with national ambient air quality standards for criteria pollutants (ozone, particulate matter,
carbon monoxide,lead,nitrogen dioxide,and sulfur dioxide). Criteria air pollutants cause adverse effects
on human health and environment. AQMD is the local air pollution control agency charged with
27002232.5 24
implementing the Federal Clean Air Act. In addition to criteria pollutants, AQMD also implements
numerous federal and State requirements related to the toxic air pollutants which can cause cancer or
other severe localized health effects. For example,the State's Air Toxic Hot Spots Act requires facilities
to conduct health risk assessments and notify the neighboring communities if the health risk exceeds the
regulatory thresholds.
Pursuant to AQMD's requirements, the District must obtain permits before sewage treatment
improvement projects can be constructed and operated. Such permits are project-specific and may
contain conditions that govern design criteria,operating parameters, and emissions standards. Most of the
District's treatment facilities are enclosed in order to capture and treat emissions to meet regulatory
emissions standards and to minimize odor impact to the neighboring communities. The District's
treatment plants are also subject to the requirements of Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act amendments.
The Title V permit is a single air quality permit for a facility that consolidates and replaces all of the air
permits for individual pieces of equipment previously issued by the local air quality district. The permit
contains all of the applicable local, state, and federal requirements, including periodic self-certification of
compliance and mandatory self-reporting of permit deviation.
All Title V permit-related reporting and documents submitted to the AQMD must be signed by
the highest District official — in this case, the General Manager. The Title V program also demands
facilities to organize and conduct extensive training of the staff involved,including the field operation and
maintenance staff. Another Title V important feature is a possibility of the public active participation and
intervention in the cases of potential emission limits and monitoring violations. The District Title V
permits did not receive any negative public responses or comments during the required public review
period. The District received initial Title V permits for the treatment plants in January 2009. Title V
permits are issued for a five-year period. Title V permits for both plants were issued on April 16, 2014.
They will expire on April 16,2019.
District Planning and Capital Improvement Program
In November 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a new comprehensive strategic plan to
consider the District's service levels and operational needs for the next five years. This comprehensive
strategic plan has been updated annually to continue looking at a five-year horizon (each, a `Strategic
Plan"). See"THE DISTRICT—Five-Yew Strategic Planning."
In December 2009, the Board of Directors adopted a Facilities Master Plan (the "Master Plan").
The Master Plan updated the planning processes set forth in the 1989 Master Plan,the 1999 Strategic Plan
and the 2002 Interim Strategic Plan Update. The Master Plan also incorporates and implements the levels
of services defined by the Board of Directors that are included in the 2009 Strategic Plan. The result is a
plan that integrates research, facilities planning, water conservation and reclamation, sludge reuse, other
wastewater programs and financial planning into a single unified approach. Key components of the
Master Plan include updated flow projections and collection system hydraulic modeling.
The District expects to satisfy required sewer capacity and rehabilitation improvements for the
Wastewater System through its Capital Improvement Program ("CIP"). The District annually reviews
and validates its CIP. The CIP was developed to satisfy anticipated regulatory requirements, increased
population, anticipated rehabilitations and replacements, additional treatment requirements, conservation,
energy and other resource savings considerations, odor control improvements, and air quality protection
needs. Through Fiscal Year 2031-32,the current CIP is scheduled to accomplish:
• Major rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary treatment, secondary treatment,
outfall pumping, and solids handling facilities at both treatment plants;
27002232.5 25
• Replacement and rehabilitation of nine of the District's outlying pumping stations and 27
trunk sewer improvement projects;and
• Reduction of fence line odor to levels that minimize odor complaints.
The 2015 CIP Validation Study resulted in revisions to the CIP. The CIP currently consists of 85
large capital projects through Fiscal Year 2031-32 with remaining outlays of$ approximately 2.1 billion.
Over the next five years, the District contemplates average annual capital expenditures of$164.5 million
based on the 2015 CIP Validation Study,without taking into account CIP savings and deferrals. Set forth
in Table 5 below is a summary of total estimated capital costs for the CIP for Fiscal Years 2015-16
through 2031-32.

The CIP originally included budgeted expenditures of$181.9 million in Fiscal Year 2015-16.
After factoring in CIP savings and deferrals, such budgeted expenditures were reduced by$6.9 million to
$175.0 million. There are currently [37] projects in the construction phase with proposed capital outlay
spending in 2015-16. [The two most significant projects in the construction phase are the Sludge
Dewatering and Odor Control at Plant 1 and the Newport Force Main Rehabilitation with projected Fiscal
Year 2015-16 expenditures of$ million and$ million,respectively.][update]
Groundwater Replenishment System
The District has taken a multi jurisdictional approach to planning for capital facilities because
many of the methods for reducing or managing flows involve other jurisdictions. One such project is the
Groundwater Replenishment System (the "GWRS"). In March 2001, the District entered into an
agreement with the OCWD to design and construct Phase I of the GWRS. The capital cost of this Phase
was shared equally (50% shares) by each agency. The GWRS is a joint effort by the two agencies to
provide reclaimed water for replenishment of the Orange County Groundwater Basin and to augment the
seawater intrusion barrier. Phase I of the GWRS became operational in January of 2008. In 2015, the
GWRS produced approximately 92,300 acre-feet. The Phase II expansion broke ground in January 2012
to add approximately 33,000 acre-feet per year and was completed in June 2015, resulting in purifying
100 percent of the treated wastewater from the District's Fountain Valley-based Plant No. 1. In April
2015, the District and the OCWD approved a $2 million joint study to explore the possibility of using
flows from the District's Plant No. 2, which may require additional infrastructure and treatment. The
Phase R expansion and all future phases are funded solely by the OCWD. The District has committed
27002232.5 26
168,000 acre-feet per year of secondary effluent to these future expanded operations; however, no capital
funding is anticipated or dedicated from the District for such expansion.
The OCWD and the District have agreed to share equally in the cost of the Joint GWRS
Microfiltration Backwash Redirection Project which will increase the quantity of water available during
the early morning hours when the flows are low. This project will save the District operational costs in
the form of reduced primary treatment chemical usage.
Preferred Level of Treatment
In July 2002, the Board of Directors approved a change from the existing level of treatment, a
blend of 50% advanced primary and 50% secondary treated wastewater, to full secondary treatment
standards. The District completed all of the necessary expansion projects to support full secondary
treatment by December 2012. On July 20, 2012, the District received a new NPDES permit, which
reflects the full secondary treatment requirements. The new NPDES permit will expire on July 19, 2017.
See"THE DISTRICT—Permits,Licenses and Other Regulations."
Biosolids Management
Through the treatment of wastewater,the District recovers and treats nutrient-rich, organic matter
(solids) to produce biosolids. Consistent with EPA's regulations and the regulations in place at the end-
use sites, the District's biosolids are recycled through composting, fertilizing non-food farm fields (land
application), and disposed in a landfill for methane gas recovery. The District's goal is to ensure our
biosolids management strategies align with existing market conditions and continue a sustainable,reliable
and economical biosolids management program that provides environmentally-sound practices and meets
federal, State and local regulatory requirements.
The District's biosolids averaged about 756 tons per day("tpd") in Fiscal Year 2014-15,with an
annual average cost per ton of$62.38 for managing at offsite locations, as described in the table below.
Prices have remained stable with some decreasing due to the District's interim-term contracts as well as
diesel prices remaining low. The biosolids management costs totaled about $17.2 million last fiscal year,
which was about 94%of the$18.3 million budgeted. Costs and biosolids production in Fiscal Year 2015-
16 are anticipated to remain stable with a budget of$17.4 million, which is a reduction of 5% in the
allocated budget over last fiscal year.
The District's biosolids tonnage will begin trending down as new solids facilities complete
construction and come online to reduce biosolids costs. Plant No. 1 centrifuges are currently under
construction and by Spring 2017 are anticipated to create drier solids which will reduce hauling costs.
Irvine Ranch Water District is constructing solids processing facilities and will stop sending their solids to
the District in 2017. Plant No.2 centrifuges will begin operating by early 2019.

Composting
Facility
The District's contractors provide back-up biosolids management capacity in California and
Arizona that include compost, land application, lime stabilization before land application and landfill.
Together, these options have the additional available capacity to manage more than ten times the
District's daily biosolids production to ensure sustainable,consistent and reliable operations.
In Fiscal Year 2014-15, the District signed an agreement with Inland Empire Composting
Authority to deliver two trucks per day to their Inland Empire Regional Compost Facility. The hauling
contract for this facility and the landfill is currently out for bid.
The District has started work on a contract to replace the expiring Synagro compost contract, as
well as the Biosolids Master Plan, which includes evaluating onsite and offsite management options in
order to make recommendations for the Capital Improvement Plan and potentially longer-term
management options for the future.
In 2003,the District was certified by the National Biosolids Partnership for its biosolids program.
The District's biosolids program has continued to develop under this certification over the last decade. In
late 2015, the District decided to transition its biosolids management system to an internal standard, as
outside certification is not required for the District's biosolids program. The District's internal standard is
intended to maintain sound practices while allowing the District to streamline areas to increase efficiency
and redirect staff resources.
Urban Runoff
Recognizing that County beaches were being affected by pollution carried by urban runoff, the
Board of Directors adopted a number of resolutions agreeing to accept dry weather urban runoff into the
sewer system. In June 2002, Assembly Bill 1892 amended the District's charter to formally allow the
diversion and management of dry weather urban runoff flows. Resolution No. 01-07, adopted March 28,
27002232.5 28
2001, declared that the District will initially waive fees and charges associated with authorized discharges
of dry weather urban runoff to the sewer system until the total volume of all runoff discharges exceeds
four million gallons per day ("mg/d") calculated on a monthly average. For the first 12 years of the
Urban Runoff Program, the average monthly flow averages remained less than the four mg/d threshold,
thus avoiding user fee costs being assessed to the diversion permittees. In 2012, the District received a
number of diversion proposals to deal with bacteria and selenium loading to the upper Newport Bay. The
discharge from the additional proposed diversions combined with the existing diversion flows would
eventually exceed the £our mg/d fee threshold. On June 12, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted
Resolution No. 13-09 expanding the waiver of fees or charges on the treatment of dry weather urban
runoff from four mg/d to ten mg/d. According to the Board of Directors, the change was necessary not
only to protect the County's coastal resources, but also to provide an economic benefit to the local
economy by helping to keep the County's beaches open.
The Dry Weather Urban Runoff Program is administered by the District's Environmental
Compliance Division, which issues a discharge permit for each of the diversion structures. The permit
functions as a control mechanism that specifically prohibits storm runoff and authorizes discharge only
during periods of dry weather. The permit also establishes specific discharge limits, constituent
monitoring, and flow metering requirements. In addition, the District conducts quarterly sampling and
analysis of the urban runoff discharges to ensure discharge limit compliance with the various regulated
constituents.
There are currently 19 active urban runoff diversion structures, three owned and operated by the
County of Orange, 11 owned and operated by the City of Huntington Beach,two owned and operated by
the City of Newport Beach, two owned and operated by the IRWD, and one owned and operated by PH
Finance (present owner of the Pelican Point Resort). In 2015, the City of Newport Beach added their
second diversion on Big Canyon Creek, an upper Newport Bay tributary. IRWD is currently constructing
a pipeline to divert the Peters Canyon Wash, the biggest contributor of selenium in the San Diego Creek
watershed in dry weather. The diversion of the Peters Canyon Wash is expected to be completed in 2016.
The City of Santa Ana is proposing three additional urban runoff diversions to deal with bacteria and
selenium loading to the Newport Back Bay Watershed: the Delhi, Santa Fe and Lane flood control
channels. The total flow for the proposed urban runoff diversions could result in an additional 3 mg/d of
urban runoff discharge to the sewer.
Since 1999, the District has treated a total of 8.3 billion gallons of dry-weather urban runoff that
would otherwise have been discharged into the ocean with no treatment. During Fiscal Year 2014-15,the
daily average urban runoff flow ranged between 0.70 and 1.48 mg/d with a cumulative total diversion of
408 million gallons for this period. At the existing operations and maintenance cost of$1,697 per million
gallons (the Fiscal Year 2014-15 rate), the District's cost for treating the urban runoff discharge for this
period is estimated at$692,036.
Integrated Emergency Response Program
In recognition of the potential damage which could occur in the event of a major earthquake,
flood, or other disaster, the District implemented an Integrated Emergency Response Program (the
"IERP") in 1979. The IERP is a two-volume plan which contains policies, plans and procedures
preparing for, and responding to, emergencies. The District also analyzed disaster preparedness issues
and policies within the Master Plan, and within a 1994 report titled Fault Rupture Hazard Investigation—
Wastewater Treatment Plant No.2 (the"1994 Report").
The disaster preparedness plan included in the Master Plan reviewed two possible major
earthquake scenarios: an 8.3 Richter magnitude ("M") earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault
27002232.5 29
system and an M 7.0 earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood fault zone, which includes Plant No. 2. An
M 8.3 earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault,while on the whole more destructive than the M 7.0
Newport-Inglewood fault, may result in less damage to the District's service area due to the distance of
the fault from most of the service area. However,the Master Plan stated that damage from such a major
earthquake on the San Andreas fault would be extensive. Also, the Master Plan indicated that an M 7.0
earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood fault within five miles of the District's sewerage facilities could
cause major destruction to those facilities. The disaster preparedness plan in the Master Plan indicated
that it would not be economically feasible to upgrade all of the existing sanitary sewerage facilities to
survive an earthquake of this magnitude along the Newport-Inglewood fault. The IERP outlines the
policies and employee actions to be taken before, during and after an earthquake, earthquake response
guidelines and damage assessment procedures.
The Master Plan analyzed the vulnerability of the sanitary sewerage facilities and operations of
the District and planned a risk reduction program wherein the vulnerability of many of the District's
sanitary sewerage facilities to an earthquake could be reduced by recommended retrofit construction
measures. The Master Plan also recommended that designs of existing major structures which were
constructed prior to development of current seismic design standards be reviewed and the structures
strengthened,if necessary.
Since the Master Plan and the 1994 Report, the District has completed retrofitting where deemed
appropriate. Pursuant to the Master Plan, all recent and future projects have been, and will be, designed
to the same high earthquake code standards as set for other essential services, such as hospitals and fire
stations. Many of the older buildings analyzed in the Master Plan have been replaced by structures built
after 1989.
The Amy Corps of Engineers' "All-River Plan" has mitigated any future flooding of the Santa
Ana River system and potential threats to the District's Wastewater System. Also, both Plant No. 1 and
Plant No.2 me built to federal standards.
The IERP takes into account the damage potential posed by coastal flooding, tsunamis (large
ocean waves generated by seismic activity) and windstorms. No assurance can be given that any such
events would not have a material adverse impact on the Wastewater System.
The Strategic Plan and IERP makes recommendations regarding fire protection of the Wastewater
System. Most of the structures at Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are constructed of fire-resistant materials.
The IERP describes the procedures needed to respond to a possible disaster. For more information
regarding emergency response policies, the disaster preparedness plan described in the IERP can be
reviewed at the District's office.
Five-Year Strategic Planning
The District maintains an annual Strategic Plan to address service levels and operational needs
over a five-year horizon. The Strategic Plan envisions an organizational culture that adheres to the
District's core values and makes efficient and effective use of all available resources. Through a new
Vision Statement, the District is committed to focusing efforts on customer service, protecting public
health and the environment, fiscal responsibility, communications, partnering with others, and creating
the best possible workforce.
Through planning workshops,individual interviews with members of the Board of Directors, and
employee and management focus groups,the following eight strategic goals were identified:
27002232.5 30
1. Odor Control—Completion of the Odor Control Master Plan.
2. Future Biosolids Management Options — Study biosolids management options including
third party contracts and onsite capital facilities.
3. Energy Efficiency— Continue to research new energy efficiency and energy conversion
technologies.
4. Disinfection of Ocean Discharge — Develop an implementation plan that includes the
technical, financial and societal factors associated with cessation of disinfection of the ocean discharge.
5. Local Sewer Transfers—Complete the transfer of 174 miles of local sewers serving parts
of the City of Tustin and unincorporated areas north of the City of Tustin and local sewer transfers in the
City of Santa Ana.
6. Legislative Advocacy and Public Outreach—Develop a unified legislative advocacy and
public outreach program.
7. Future Water Recycling — Determine partnerships, needs, strategies, benefits and costs
associated with recycling of Plant No. 2 effluent water.
8. Workforce Planning and Workforce Development—This initiative is ongoing and part of
a comprehensive workforce planning and development effort to ensure that the District has the right
people with the right skills and abilities,in the right place,at the right time.
Since the adoption of the 2013 Strategic Plan, the District made strides to improve technical
operations, biosolids management, odor control, and regulatory compliance. This resulted in the
completion of two of the eight strategic goals: Disinfection of Ocean Discharge and Legislative
Advocacy and Public Outreach. Under the latest Strategic Plan update of November 2015, the District
continues to work towards accomplishing the remaining six strategic goals.
DISTRICT REVENUES
Sewer Service Charges
General. The District has the power to establish fees and charges for services of the Wastewater
System. Such fees and charges are established by the District's Board of Directors and are not subject to
review or approval by any other agencies.
In Fiscal Year 1997-98, a Rate Advisory Committee (the "RAC") was established comprised of
representatives from industrial, commercial and residential users. The goal of the RAC was to examine
the then current rate structure and, if needed, develop recommendations for change. The RAC analyzed
the District's rate structure to determine whether its then current sewer service user fees (now known as
"Sewer Service Charges") were equitable among residential and industrial customers. This review
resulted in a proposal to expand the number of non-residential user categories from one to 23 and to
provide for gradual rate increases in seven of the nine Revenue Areas. The Sewer Service Charges for
those categories were based on the average flow and strength of wastewater discharged for each property
type and remain currently in use.
The Board of Directors establishes the annual sanitary sewer service charges by ordinance. The
sanitary sewer service charge ordinances are adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors as
27002232.5 31
required under law after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with Proposition 218. See
"LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES — Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California
Constitution."
The District collects Sewer Service Charges from property owners through the semi-annual
property tax bill distributed by the County throughout the District, except in Revenue Area No. 14.
Pursuant to the IRWD Agreement, the District receives quarterly fee payments from the IRWD which
directly collects fees from customers through a monthly billing procedure in Revenue Area No. 14.
The District currently participates in the County's Teeter Plan under which the District receives
annually 100% of the secured property tax levies to which it otherwise is entitled, regardless of whether
the County has actually collected the levies.
The District has covenanted in the Master Agreement to fix, prescribe and collect fees and
charges to satisfy certain coverage requirements as further described under "SECURITY AND
SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE REVENUE OBLIGATIONS—Rate Covenant"herein.
Residential and Commercial Sewer Service Charges. In December 2012,the Board of Directors
authorized a Proposition 218 notice on proposed rate increases for each year over the next five years.
Pursuant to the adoption of Ordinance No. OCSD-41 on March 27, 2013, the District established
residential Sewer Service Charges, except within Revenue Area No. 14,based on the cost of services and
facilities provided to each customer of the District. The noticed public hearing held in connection with
the adoption of this ordinance considered an increase in the single family residential rate, the underlying
rate for all of the District's sewer service charges, of 4.8% for Fiscal Year 2013-14 and thereafter by an
average annual increase of 2.4%for each Fiscal Year through Fiscal Year 2017-18. These increases were
approved by the Board through the adoption of Ordinance No. OCSD41. Following the first two years
of this rate plan,however,District staff recommended and the Board of Directors approved a reduction of
the rate increase for the last three years of the plan, lowering the average of these increases from 2.4%to
1.6%.

Industrial Sewer Service Charges. The District charges industrial Sewer Service Charges to
customers discharging high-strength or high-volume wastes into the sewer systems. Customers subject to
industrial Sewer Service Charges are billed directly by the District. The fee charged to each customer is
based on the customer's sewage volume, the concentration of suspended solids and biochemical oxygen
demand. Total industrial Sewer Service Charges in Fiscal Year 2014-15 were approximately $14.2
million. Industrial Sewer Service Charges are applied to both operating and capital funds.
The Sewer Service Charge increases described above are necessary to meet the District's cash
flow needs arising from the addition of disinfection treatment and other operating requirements. As
projected through Fiscal Year 2031-32, the cash flow needs of the CIP total approximately $2.1 billion.
Over the next five years the District contemplates average annual capital expenditures of$164.5 million.
In addition, over the next five years the District contemplates expenditures of$106 million, or an annual
average of $21 million, to finance projects currently unknown or unidentified as forecasted by the
District's Asset Management Program(the"Asset Management Program').
Additional Revenues
The District has several sources of additional revenue, including property taxes, Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges,capacity rights,permit and inspection fees and interest earnings.
Property Taxes. The District receives approximately 2.5%of the one percent County ad valorem
property tax levy, based on the allocation procedure under State law. Property tax revenues were $64.3
million in Fiscal Yew 2010-11, $67.9 million in Fiscal Year 2011-12, $79.2 million in Fiscal Yew
2012-13, $74.9 million in Fiscal Year 2013-14 and $79.8 million in Fiscal Year 2014-15. The District
currently estimates that its property tax receipts will increase by approximately 5.0% each year from
27002232.5 34
Fiscal Year 2015-16 through Fiscal Year 2019-20. The apportionment of the ad valorem tax is made
pursuant to a revenue program adopted by the District in April 1979 to comply with EPA and RWQCB
mandates,legal and contractual requirements and Board of Director's policy.
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges. Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (commonly referred to
as connection fees) are one-time fees with two components, paid at the time property is developed and
connected to the Wastewater System. The fees are imposed by the District pursuant to Section 5471 of
the California Health and Safety Code and are levied to pay a portion of the District's capital costs and for
access to capacity in the Wastewater System. The District currently has Capital Facilities Capacity
Charges of $3,588 per residential unit (three-bedroom); however, under the current industrial use
ordinance, additional Capital Facilities Capacity Charges can be imposed on industrial users who place
larger than average demand on the Wastewater System. Member cities and sanitary districts collect
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges for the District when building permits are issued. Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges are reviewed annually to reflect the changes in the value of the Wastewater System to
which a new customer is connecting.
On December 15, 1999, the Board of Directors approved District Ordinance No. OCSD 99-11
(the"1999 Ordinance")which established a comprehensive Capital Facilities Capacity Charge. The 1999
Ordinance, effective as of January 1, 2000, renamed connection fees as Capital Facilities Capacity
Charges and provided a more equitable schedule of fees among industrial, commercial and residential
users. Pursuant to the 1999 Ordinance, Capital Facilities Capacity Charges were revised for high demand
industrial users in five incremental increases from 1999 through 2001. For a summary of historical and
projected revenues derived from Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, see Table 14 and Table 15 below.
Pursuant to an agreement with the IRWD, the IRWD is not required to pay Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges and, in exchange, the IRWD provides funding to the District for the construction costs
of certain wastewater collection, transmission, treatment and disposal facilities to be used by the IRWD
and is obligated to make certain payments to the District for certain services arising from the Wastewater
System(including any standby or availability charges).
Sale of Capacity. The District bas entered into agreements with the Santa Ana Watershed Project
Authority ("SAWPA") whereby wastewater from Upper Santa Ana River Basin dischargers can be
transported through the District's Santa Ana River Interceptor to the District's wastewater treatment
facilities. This program was developed in the only 1970s. The agreements establish control mechanisms
regarding the quality of wastes deposited into the Wastewater System. At the present time, SAWPA has
purchased and paid for 30 mg/d of maximum regulated flow capacity rights in the District's Santa Ana
River Interceptor and 17 mg/d of monthly average flow capacity in the District's wastewater treatment
plants. Projected revenues from SAWPA range from$2.5 million to$3.0 million over the next five years.
Additional treatment plant capacity can be purchased in increments at the District's current replacement
cost.
Federal Subsidy Payments. In connection with the District's Revenue Obligations,Series 2010A
(the "2010A Revenue Obligations") and the District's Revenue Obligations, Series 2010C (the "2010C
Revenue Obligations"), issued as "Build America Bonds," the District is scheduled to receive certain
federal subsidy payments of approximately $5.1 million annually through 2031 and lesser amounts
thereafter until 2044. Subsidy payments with respect to the 2010A Revenue Obligations and the 2010C
Revenue Obligations constitute Revenues as defined in the Master Agreement. In its financial reports,the
District accounts for subsidy payments received in connection with the 2010A Revenue Obligations and
the 2010C Revenue Obligations as a reduction in interest expense with respect to such obligations.
27002232.5 35
For the 2010A Revenue Obligations and the 2010C Revenue Obligations to be and remain Build
America Bonds, the District must comply with certain covenants and establish certain facts and
expectations with respect to the 2010A Revenue Obligations and the 2010C Revenue Obligations, the use
and investment of proceeds thereof and the use of property financed thereby. Thus, it is possible that the
District may not receive the federal subsidy payments due to the District's noncompliance. The federal
subsidy payments are also subject to offset against amounts that may, for unrelated reasons, be owed by
the District to any agency of the United States of America.
On March 1, 2013, the federal government announced the implementation of certain automatic
spending cuts (mown as the sequester. As a result of the sequester, federal subsidy payments for the
2010A Revenue Obligations were reduced by 8.7% (or$67,872; second half of the year only), 7.2% (or
$112,339), 7.3% (or $114,882), and 6.8% (or $53,049; first half of the year only) for the federal fiscal
years ended September 30, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively; and federal subsidy payments for
the 2010C Revenue Obligations were reduced by 8.7% (or $152,807; second half of the year only) by
7.2% (or $252,922), 7.3% (or $256,435), and 6.8% (or $119,435; first half of the year only) for the
federal fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. The District is
obligated to make all payments with respect to the 2010A Revenue Obligations and the 2010C Revenue
Obligations from Revenues as defined in the Master Agreement,regardless of whether it receives the full
amount of federal subsidy payments. The District cannot predict whether future reductions in federal
subsidy payments will occur due to the sequester. However, the District does not believe that any
reduction in federal subsidy payments will have a material adverse effect on the District's ability to pay
the 2010A Revenue Obligations or the 2010C Revenue Obligations.
Wastewater Treatment History
The wastewater flows for Fiscal Year 2009-10 through Fiscal Year 2014-15 were 196 mg/d,207
mg/d, 201 mg/d,200 mg/d, 198 mg/d and 190 mg/d, respectively. The highest flow rate experienced was
during El Niiio storm periods. Peak flows of 500 mg/d were recorded in December 1997 and February
1998. There were no sewer failures or overflows during these events. [discuss current El Nino impact]
Customers
The historical number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 2010-11 through
2014-15 and the projected number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 2015-16
through 2019-20, identified in Equivalent Dwelling Units ("EDUs"), are set forth in Table 8 and Table 9
below. As discussed below, sewer service charges are based on the expected amount of wastewater flow
for a single family dwelling. This base amount is considered the "equivalent dwelling unit" Set forth in
Table 8 below are the EDUs that equate to total Sewer Service Charge levies,while the EDUs set forth in
Table 9 equate to total sewer service charge collections.

Assessed Valuation
The assessed valuation of property in the County is established by the County Assessor, except
for public utility property which is assessed by the State Board of Equalization. Due to changes in
assessment required under State Constitution Article XIIIA, the County assessment roll no longer
purports to be proportional to market value. See "LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES"
herein. Generally,property can be reappraised upward to market value only upon a change in ownership
or completion of new construction. The assessed value of property that has not incurred a change of
ownership or new construction must be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2%
per year based on the State consumer price index. In the event of declining property value caused by
substantial damage, destruction, economic or other factors, the assessed value must be reduced
temporarily to reflect market value. For the definition of full cash value and more information on
property tax limitations and adjustments,see"LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES"herein.
The County Assessor determines and enrolls a value for each parcel of taxable real property in the
County every year. The value review may result in a reduction in value. Taxpayers in the County also
may appeal the determination of the County Assessor with respect to the assessed value of their property.

Tax Levies and Delinquencies
Property taxes are based on assessed valuation which is determined as described under
"DISTRICT REVENUES—Assessed Valuation"herein. In accordance with the California Revenue and
Taxation Code, the County tax collector collects secured tax levies for each Fiscal Year. Property taxes
on the secured roll are due in two installments, on November 1 and February 1. The District currently
participates in the County's Teeter Plan under which the District receives annually 100% of the secured
property tax levies and Sewer Service Charges to which it otherwise is entitled,regardless of whether the
County has actually collected the levies. This alternative method provides for funding each taxing entity
included in the Teeter Plan with its total secured property taxes during the year the taxes are levied,
including any amount uncollected at fiscal year-end. Under this plan,the District's general fund receives
the full amount of seemed property taxes levied each year on its behalf and, for so long as such plan
remains in effect, the participating entities, such as the District, no longer experience delinquent taxes.
The County's general fund is the designated recipient of future collections of penalties and interest on all
delinquent taxes collected on behalf of participants in this alternative method of apportionment.

Budgetary Process
The District's operating fund budget relies on revenues from Sewer Service Charges and property
taxes,both of which are collected on the property tax bill, as previously described under the captions'—
Sewer Service Charges" and " Additional Revenues." The District receives tax revenues from the
County in eight allocations, with the largest receipts in December and April. The District operates on a
Fiscal Year beginning each July 1. The operating fund budgets include funds to cover the dry period of
each tax year, i.e.,the period from the beginning of the Fiscal Year until the first taxes are received. The
dry-period requirement is budgeted at one-half of the annual operating fund budgeted expenditures. The
District uses the accrual method of accounting in its budgets. The District has conformed to its budgets
for the last five fiscal years and is conforming to its budget for the current fiscal yen.
The District's annual budget preparation process begins in January of each year and concludes in
June upon its adoption. The General Manager reviews the final operating budgets and then distributes
them to the Directors and District Committees for consideration. The Board of Directors then adopts the
proposed annual budgets,with any revisions,in June of each year.
Budgetary control is exercised at the individual Department level and administrative policies
provide guidelines on budget transfers and the authorization necessary to implement transfers. A budget
adjustment is a transfer which does not change the total appropriated amount and does not require Board
of Directors action. Approval may be granted by the General Manager or the Department Head in certain
circumstances. Department Heads have the discretion to reapportion funds between certain line items
within a division but may not exceed total appropriated amounts for each department. They may also
transfer staff across divisional lines. The General Manager and Board of Directors must approve
additional capital outlay items.
A budget amendment is an adjustment to the total appropriated amount which was not included in
the original budget. These supplemental appropriations require formal action by the Board of Directors.
Prior year reserves or fund balances may be appropriated to fund items not previously included in the
adopted budget. Reserves or fund balances exceeding minimum amounts required by fiscal policies may
be appropriated if it is determined to be in the best interest of the District. Directors may also appropriate
reserves in case of emergencies or unusual circumstances.
27002232.5 40
Reserves
The District has an established reserve policy with eight separate categories for its reserve funds.
Collectively, these individual reserve requirements total over $500 million for each yew of the current
ten-year cash flow forecast.
Set forth in Table 13 below are the actual reserves at June 30, 2013, June 30, 2014 and June 30,
2015, and projected reserves at June 30,2016 for each fund.

in accordance with the District's reserve policy. As of June 30, 2015, $129 million of Debt Service Required
Reserves were held in Obligation Reserve Funds, of which $33.0 million is restricted by covenant for the
specific obligations for which such Obligation Reserve Funds were established.
Source: Orange County Sanitation District.
The District's reserves consist of the following components:
• The Cash Flow Requirements Reserve was established to fund operation, maintenance and
certificates of participation debt service expenses for the first half of the fiscal year, prior to the
receipt of the first installment of the property tax allocation and sewer service user fees which are
collected as a separate line item on the property tax bill. The level of this reserve is established as
the sum of an amount equal to six months operations and maintenance expense and the total of
certificates of participation debt service expenses due in the subsequent fiscal yen.
• The Operating Contingencies Reserve was established to provide for non-recurring expenditures
that were not anticipated when the annual budget and Sewer Service Charges were adopted. The
level of this reserve is equal to 10%of the District's annual operating budget.
• The Capital Improvement Program Reserve was established to fund annual increments of the
Capital Improvement Program with a target level at one-half of the average annual Capital
27002232.5 41
Improvement Program through the year 2020. Levels higher and lower than the target can be
expected while the long-term financing and capital improvement programs are being finalized.
• The Catastrophic Loss, or Self-Insurance Reserve is established for property damage including
fire, flood and earthquake, general liability and workers' compensation. The level of reserve in
this fund is maintained at a level to fund the District's non-reimbursed costs which are estimated
to be$57 million.
• The Capital Replacement and Refurbishment Reserve was established to provide 30% of the
funding to replace or refurbish the current collection, treatment and disposal facilities. The
current replacement value of these facilities is estimated to be approximately $6.2 billion. The
initial reserve level for this fund was established at $50 million and is augmented by interest
earnings and a portion of the annual Sewer Service Charges.
• Debt Service Required Reserves include trustee-held amounts in any Obligation Reserve Fond
and additional amounts held by the District for the payment of debt service in accordance with the
District's reserve policy. The District's current policy is to maintain reserves (including trustee-
held reserves) for debt service in the amount of 10% of the principal amount of the District's
outstanding debt obligations.
• The Rate Stabilization Reserve accumulates all available funds which exceed the targets for all
other reserves. The Rate Stabilization Reserve is a separate fund from the Rate Stabilization
Account established under the Trust Agreement. There is currently no established target for this
reserve and,because the reserves of all other funds have not been exceeded, the reserve level for
this reserve fund has been zero for Fiscal Years 2012-13 through 2015-16.
• In Fiscal Year 2009-10, Financial Management staff and the Board of Directors concluded that
given the nature of the likely events that may cause a withdrawal from the District's reserves and
the degree of overlap among reserve categories,the total amount reserved need not equal the sum
of each separate reserve category. As a result, the District adjusted the application of its reserve
policy, leading to a reduction of $40 million of the accumulated total, or approximately 8%.
Reserve levels are calculated in accordance with the District's reserve policy.

Forecasted Operating Data
Set forth in Table 15 below are forecasted operating results for the District for Fiscal Years
2015-16 through 2019-20. These projections assume the number of projects and scheduled build out set
forth in the 2015 CIP Validation Study, and reflect the Board-approved annual rate increases of 1.90%,
1.55% and 1.22% for Fiscal Year 2015-16, Fiscal Year 2016-17, and Fiscal Year 2017-18, respectively.
Principal expenditure components of these projections are derived from the 2015 CIP Validation Study,
which identified 85 large capital projects with a 10-year projected outlay of$1.7 billion. Much of the
construction is scheduled during the next five years, with average annual capital outlays of $164.5
million. The District's CIP cash flow budget for Fiscal Year 2015-16 is$181.9 million. This CIP budget
finances joint works treatment and disposal system improvement projects, and collection system
improvement projects. The preparation of such projections was based upon certain assumptions and
certain forecasts with respect to conditions that may occur in the future. While the District believes that
these assumptions and forecasts are reasonable for the purposes of the projected selected operating data,it
makes no representation that they will in fact occur. To the extent that actual future conditions differ
from those assumed herein,the data will vary.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operating Data
The District's Fiscal Year 2015-16 total operating, capital improvement, debt service, and other
financing requirement budget is $469.7 million, a 15.3% decrease over the prior year budget of$554.4
million. This overall decrease is primarily attributable to a planned reduction of$125 million in long-
term liabilities in Fiscal Year 2014-15 and an additional planned reduction of$50 million in Fiscal Year
2015-16. These planned reductions resulted from pushing back a portion of the Fiscal Year 2013-14 CIP
program into fixture years and the receipt of unexpected one-time revenues in Fiscal Year 2013-14. The
$125 million reduction in Fiscal Year 2014-15 and the$50 million reduction in Fiscal Year 2015-16 each
consists of a pay-down of a portion of the $194 million unfunded accrued actuarial pension liability as of
July 1, 2014. Excluding these planned reductions the total approved cash flow budget for Fiscal Year
2015-16 totals S420 million, a 2% decrease over the prior year. This overall decrease consists of a
decrease in capital outlay of $11.5 million or 6.2%, an increase in debt service requirements of $5.8
million or 6.3%,and a decrease in operating expenses of$2.8 million or 1.8%.
The Fiscal Year 2015-16 approved budget to operate, maintain and manage the District's sewage
collection, treatment and disposal system is $151.9 million, a decrease of 1.8%. Personnel costs have
decreased by $4.4 million, or 4.4%, due primarily to the projected savings of$8.9 million in employee
retirement premiums as the District's employer contribution rates have dropped approximately 45.5%due
to the $125 million lump sum payment against the unfunded actuarial accrued liability in Fiscal Year
2014-15. These retirement savings were partially offset by increased salaries of$2.8 million attributable
to provisions of the existing bargaining unit agreements. As of December 31,2015,there were 51 vacant
positions, or 8.2%of the total budgeted staffing level of 624.0 full-time equivalent positions.
Operating materials and supplies are budgeted to increase by$1.4 million or 8.9% over the prior
year. Of this increase, $1.2 million or 9.4% over the prior year represents increases in chemicals used
throughout the treatment plants for enhanced settling and separation of solids, odor control and
disinfection. These increases are reflected of increases in unit cost and in the quantity being used.
Repairs and maintenance costs were approved at a decrease of $0.8 million or 6.1%. This
decrease is mostly attributable to decreases in basic repairs and maintenance costs including the
scheduling of one central generation engine overhaul totaling$893,000 in the prior year.
In preparation of the Fiscal Yew 2016-18 biennium budget, District staff will be developing for
the Board of Directors a Capital Improvement Program to deliver the levels of service included in the
District's five-year rolling Strategic Plan. These levels of service and associated capital projects are
included in the Strategic Plan, last updated in November 2015. In addition, District staff validated the
active CIP projects currently being executed to ensure that the scope of work on the active projects
remains appropriate, and that the cost estimates have been accurately updated. The Fiscal Year 2015-16
CIP cash flow budget was approved at $181.9 million. After factoring in CIP savings and deferrals, this
CIP budget was reduced by $6.9 million to $175.0 million. The 2015 validated CIP includes 85 large
capital projects with 10-year outlays totaling$1.7 billion.
The completion of the CIP Validation Study in 2013 reaffirmed the need for rate increases in
future years. Based on the results of the CIP Validation Study and the Strategic Plan, the Bond of
Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-41, increasing the sanitary sewer service charges by
approximately 4.8% in Fiscal Year 2013-14, and by an average of 2.4% over the following four years.
These rate increases were approved by a vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors and
are not subject to reaffirmation in any of the future fiscal years covered by this five-year period.
Following the first two years of this rate plan, however, District staff recommended and the Board of
Directors approved a reduction of the rate increase for the last three years of the plan, lowering the
27002232.5 46
average of these increases from 2.4% to 1.6%. This action resulted in the single family residence user
rate, the basis for all sewer user fee rates, increasing from$316 in Fiscal Year 2014-15 to $322 in Fiscal
Year 2015-16. See"DISTRICT REVENUES—Sewer Service Charges."
Investment of District Funds
State statutes authorize the District to invest in obligations of the United States Government,state
and local governmental agencies, negotiable certificates of deposits, bankers acceptances, commercial
paper, reverse repurchase agreements and a variety of other investment instruments which are allowable
under California Government Code Section 53600 et seq.
All District funds, except for Obligation Reserve Funds controlled by a bank trustee pursuant to
the provisions of Existing Senior Obligations, are managed by an external money manager, Pacific
Investment Management Company. Mellon Trust serves as the District's independent custodian bank for
its investment program. Callan Associates serves as the District's independent advisor.
As of December 31, 2015, the District's externally managed fund consisted of a short-term
investment portfolio of$132.0 million with an average maturity of 77 days, and a long-term investment
portfolio of$314.9 million with average maturities of 2.9 years. Investments consist of United States
government securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper. The District's portfolio contains no
structured investment vehicles("SlVs")or reverse repurchase agreements.
Deposits in banks are maintained in financial institutions which provide deposit protection on the
bank balance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The California Government Code requires
State banks and savings and loans to secure local government deposits by pledging government securities
equal to 110% of the deposits or by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes equal to 150% of the
deposits.
The District's Investment Policy requires that the District invest public fonds in a manner which
ensures the safety and preservation of capital while meeting reasonable anticipated operating expenditure
needs, achieving a reasonable rate of return and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the
investment of public fonds. The primary objectives, in order, of the District's investment activities are
safety, liquidity and return on investment.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
Existing Indebtedness
Currently, the District has Senior Obligations Outstanding payable on a parity with the Revenue
Obligations. The table below describes the District's outstanding parity certificates of participation as of
February 2, 2016. The payment obligations in connection with each series of these certificates of
participation constitute Senior Obligations,subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and shall be
afforded all of the benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master

In connection with the execution and delivery of the above-referenced outstanding certificates of
participation, the District entered into certain installment purchase agreements, or equivalent documents,
providing for the payment of installment payments or similar payments.
Anticipated Financings
From time to time the District may incur other obligations to finance portions of the CIP. Over
the next five years, however, the District does not expect to issue any additional debt, other than
refunding debt. The District expects to refund outstanding obligations from time to time, such as the
2014B Certificates mentioned in Table 16 above.
Direct and Overlapping Bonded Debt
The aggregate direct and overlapping bonded debt of the District as of June 30, 2015 is set forth
on page 64 of Appendix A.
THE CORPORATION
The Corporation was organized on June 19, 2000 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation
pursuant to the Nonprofit Public Corporation law of the State. The Corporation's purpose is to render
assistance to the District in its acquisition of equipment,real properly and improvements on behalf of the
District. Under its articles of incorporation, the Corporation has all powers conferred upon nonprofit
public benefit corporations by the laws of the State,provided that it will not engage in any activity other
than that which is necessary or convenient for, or incidental to the purposes for which it was formed.
27002232.5 48
The Corporation is a separate legal entity from the District. It is governed by a twenty-five
member Board of Directors. The Corporation has no employees. All staff work is performed by
employees of the District. The members of the Corporation's Board of Directors are the Board of
Directors of the District.
The District's Director of Finance and Administrative Services and other District employees are
available to provide staff support to the Corporation.
The Corporation has not entered into any material financing arrangements other than those
referred to in this Official Statement. Further information concerning the Corporation may be obtained
from the Orange County Sanitation District office at 10844 Ellis Avenue, Fountain Valley, California,
92708-7018.
LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES
Article XIIIA of the California Constitution
On June 6, 1978, California voters approved Proposition 13 ("Proposition 13"), which added
Article XIIIA to the State Constitution ("Article XIIIA"). Article XIIIA, as amended, limits the amount
of any ad valorem tax on real property to one percent of the full cash value thereof,except that additional
ad valorem taxes may be levied to pay debt service on (i)indebtedness approved by the voters prior to
July 1, 1978,(it)(as a result of an amendment to Article XIIIA approved by State voters on June 3, 1986)
on bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property which has been approved on
or after July 1, 1978 by two-third of the voters on such indebtedness, and (iii)bonded indebtedness
incurred by a school district or community college district for the construction, reconstruction,
rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities or the acquisition or lease of real property for school
facilities, approved by 55% of the voters of the district, but only if certain accountability measures are
included in the proposition. Article XIIIA defines full cash value to mean "the county assessor's
valuation of real property as shown on the 1975-76 tax bill under "full cash value," or thereafter, the
appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has
occurred after the 1975 assessment." The fall cash value may be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a
rate not to exceed 2%per year or to reflect a reduction in the consumer price index or comparable data for
the area under the taxing jurisdiction, or reduced in the event of declining property values caused by
substantial damage, destruction, or other factors. Legislation enacted by the State Legislature to
implement Article XIIIA provides that notwithstanding any other law,local agencies may not levy any ad
valorem property tax except to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters as described
above.
Legislation Implementing Article XIIIA
Legislation has been enacted and amended a number of times since 1978 to implement Article
XIIIA. Under current law,local agencies are no longer permitted to levy directly any property tax(except
to pay voter-approved indebtedness). The one percent property tax is automatically levied by the County
and distributed according to a formula among taxing agencies. The formula apportions the tax roughly in
proportion to the relative shares of taxes levied prior to 1989.
Increases of assessed valuation resulting from reappraisals of property due to new construction,
change in ownership or from the 2% annual adjustment are allocated among the various jurisdictions in
the "taxing area" based upon their respective "situs." Any such allocation made to a local agency
continues as part of its allocation in future years.
27002232.5 49
Beginning in the 1981-82 fiscal year, assessors in the State no longer record property values on
tax rolls at the assessed value of 25%of market value which was expressed as$4 per$100 assessed value.
All taxable property is now shown at full market value on the tax rolls. Consequently, the tax rate is
expressed as $1 per$100 of taxable value. All taxable property value included in this Official Statement
is shown at 1000/. of market value (unless noted differently) and all tax rates reflect the $1 per $100 of
taxable value.
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution
An initiative to amend the State Constitution entitled"Limitation of Government Appropriations"
was approved on September 6, 1979, thereby adding Article XIBB to the State Constitution ("Article
XIIIB"). Under Article XIIIB,the State and each local governmental entity has an annual"appropriations
limit" and is not permitted to spend certain moneys that are called "appropriations subject to limitation"
(consisting of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds) in an amount higher than the
appropriations limit. Article XIBB does not affect the appropriations of moneys that are excluded from
the definition of"appropriations subject to limitation,"including debt service on indebtedness existing or
authorized as of January 1, 1979, or bonded indebtedness subsequently approved by the voters. In
general terms, the appropriations limit is to be based on certain 1978-79 expenditures, and is to be
adjusted annually to reflect changes in consumer prices, populations, and services provided by these
entities. Among other provisions of Article XIIIB, if these entities' revenues in any year exceed the
amounts permitted to be spent,the excess would have to be retained by revising tax rates or fee schedules
over the subsequent two years.
"Appropriations subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend `proceeds of taxes," which
consist of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory
licenses, user charges or other fees to the extent that such proceeds exceed`the cost reasonably borne by
such entity in providing the regulation, product or service,"but"proceeds of taxes" excludes tax refunds
and some benefit payments such as unemployment insurance. No limit is imposed on appropriations of
funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-
tax funds.
Not included in the Article XIIIB limit are appropriations for the debt service costs of bonds
existing or authorized by January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, appropriations
required to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government and appropriations for qualified
capital outlay projects. The appropriations limit may also be exceeded in certain cases of emergency.
The appropriations limit for the District in each year is based on the District's limit for the prior
year, adjusted annually for changes in the cost of living and changes in population, and adjusted, where
applicable, for transfer of financial responsibility of providing services to or from another unit of
government. The change in the cost of living is, at the District's option, either(1)the percentage change
in State per capita personal income, or (2) the percentage change in the local assessment roll on
nonresidential property. Either test is likely to be greater than the change in the cost of living index,
which was used prior to Proposition 111. Change in population is to be measured either within the
jurisdiction of the District or the County as a whole.
As amended by Proposition 111, the appropriations limit is tested over consecutive two-year
periods. Any excess of the aggregate "proceeds of taxes" received by a District over such two-year
period above the combined appropriations limits for those two years is to be returned to taxpayers by
reductions in tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years. As originally enacted in 1979, the
District's appropriations limit was based on 1978-79 authorizations to expend proceeds of taxes and was
adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population (using different definitions, which
27002232.5 50
were modified by Proposition 111). Starting with Fiscal Year 1990-91,the District's appropriations limit
was recalculated by taking the actual Fiscal Year 1986-87 limit, and applying the annual adjustments as if
Proposition 111 had been in effect. The District does not anticipate that any such appropriations
limitations will impair its ability to make Installment Payments as required by the Installment Purchase
Agreement.
Proposition lA and Proposition 22
Proposition I ("Proposition lA"), proposed by the Legislature in connection with the 2004-05
Budget Act and approved by the voters in November 2004, restricts State authority to reduce major local
tax revenues such as the tax shifts permitted to take place in Fiscal Years 2004-05 and 2005-06.
Proposition lA provides that the State may not reduce any local sales tax rate, limit existing local
government authority to levy a sales tax rate or change the allocation of local sales tax revenues, subject
to certain exceptions. Proposition lA generally prohibits the State from shifting to schools or community
colleges any share of property tax revenues allocated to local governments for any fiscal year,as set forth
under the laws in effect as of November 3, 2004. Any change in the allocation of property tax revenues
among local governments within a county must be approved by two-thirds of both houses of the
Legislature.
Proposition IA provides, however, that beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-09, the State may shift to
schools and community colleges up to 8%of local government property tax revenues,which amount must
be repaid, with interest, within three years, if the Governor proclaims that the shift is needed due to a
severe state financial hardship, the shift is approved by two-thirds of both houses and certain other
conditions are met. Such a shift may not occur more than twice in any ten-year period. The State may
also approve voluntary exchanges of local sales tax and property tax revenues among local governments
within a county.
Proposition IA was generally superseded by the passage of a new initiative constitutional
amendment at the November 2010 election, known as Proposition 22 ("Proposition 22"). The effect of
Proposition 22 is to prohibit the State, even during a period of severe fiscal hardship, from delaying the
distribution of tax revenues for transportation,redevelopment, or local government projects and services.
It prevents the State from redirecting redevelopment agency property tax increment to any other local
government or from temporarily shifting property taxes from cities, counties and special districts to
schools. This is intended to, among other things, stabilize local government revenue sources by
restricting the State's control over local property taxes.
Prior to the passage of Proposition 22, the State invoked Proposition lA to divert $1.935 billion
in local property tax revenues in fiscal year 2009-10 from cities, counties,and special districts to the State
to offset State general fund spending for education and other programs. Approximately$5 million of the
District's property tax revenues were diverted to the State as a result of this Proposition lA suspension.
The District participated in a Proposition IA Securitization Program (the "Program") sponsored by the
California Statewide Communities Development Authority. The Program allowed the District to
exchange its anticipated State property tax receivable for an equal amount of cash. In addition,the State's
adopted 2009-10 budget included a $1.7 billion diversion in local property tax revenues from local
redevelopment agencies. Many California Redevelopment Association members are actively engaged in
litigation to block such diversion and recoup certain payments already made under certain legislation
passed in July 2009 that is beyond the reach of Proposition 22,known as"ABX4 26."
Proposition IA also provides that if the State reduces the vehicle license fee ("VLF") rate
currently in effect, 0.65% of vehicle value, the State must provide local governments with equal
replacement revenues. Further, Proposition lA requires the State to suspend State mandates affecting
27002232.5 51
cities, counties and special districts, excepting mandates relating to employee rights, schools or
community colleges, in any year that the State does not fully reimburse local governments for their costs
to comply with such mandates.
Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California Constitution
Proposition 218, a State ballot initiative (mown as the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," was
approved by the voters on November 5, 1996. The initiative added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the
California Constitution, creating additional requirements for the imposition by most local governments of
"general taxes,""special taxes,""assessments,""fees,"and"charges." Proposition 218 became effective,
pursuant to its terms, as of November 6, 1996, although compliance with some of its provisions was
deferred until July 1, 1997, and certain of its provisions purport to apply to any tax imposed for general
governmental purposes (Le., "general taxes") imposed, extended or increased on or after January 1, 1995
and prior to November 6, 1996.
Article XIIID imposes substantive and procedural requirements on the imposition, extension or
increase of any"fee" or"charge" subject to its provisions. A "fee" or"charge" subject to Article XIIID
includes any levy, other than an ad valorem tax, special tax or assessment, imposed by an agency upon a
parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership. Article XIIID prohibits, among other
things, the imposition of any proposed fee or charge, and, possibly, the increase of any existing fee or
charge, in the event written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented at a required public
hearing on the fee or charge by a majority of owners of the parcels upon which the fee or charge is to be
imposed. Except for fees and charges for water, sewer and refuse collection services, the approval of a
majority of the property owners subject to the fee or charge,or at the option of the agency,by a two-thirds
vote of the electorate residing in the affected area, is required within 45 days following the public hearing
on any such proposed new or increased fee or charge. The California Supreme Court decisions in
Richmond v. Shasta Community Services District, 32 Ca1.4th 409 (2004) (`Richmond"), and Bighorn-
Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil, 39 CalAth 205 (2006) (Bighorn') have clarified some of the
uncertainty surrounding the applicability of Section 6 of Article XIIID to service fees and charges. In
Richmond, the Shasta Community Services District charged a water connection fee, which included a
capacity charge for capital improvements to the water system and a fire suppression charge. The Court
held that both the capacity charge and the fire suppression charge were not subject to Article XIIID
because a water connection fee is not a property-related fee or charge because it results from the property
owner's voluntary decision to apply for the connection. In both Richmond and Bighorn, however, the
Court stated that a fee for ongoing water service through an existing connection is imposed "as an
incident of property ownership" within the meaning of Article XIIID, rejecting, in Bighorn, the water
agency's argument that consumption-based water charges are not imposed "as an incident of property
ownership"but as a result of the voluntary decisions of customers as to how much water to use.
Article XIIID also provides that"standby charges"are considered"assessments"and must follow
the procedures required for "assessments" under Article XIIID and imposes several procedural
requirements for the imposition of any assessment, which may include (1) various notice requirements,
including the requirement to mail a ballot to owners of the affected property; (2) the substitution of a
property owner ballot procedure for the traditional written protest procedure,and providing that"majority
protest" exists when ballots (weighted according to proportional financial obligation) submitted in
opposition exceed ballots in favor of the assessments; and (3) the requirement that the levying entity
"separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel"of land. Article XIIID also
precludes standby charges for services that are not immediately available to the parcel being charged.
Article XIIID provides that all existing, new or increased assessments are to comply with its
provisions beginning July 1, 1997. Existing assessments imposed on or before November 5, 1996, and
27002232.5 52
"imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operations expenses for [among
other things] water" are exempted from some of the provisions of Article XIIID applicable to
assessments.
Article XBIC extends the people's initiative power to reduce or repeal existing local taxes,
assessments, fees and charges. This extension of the initiative power is not limited by the terms of Article
XIIIC to fees, taxes, assessment fees and charges imposed after November 6, 1996 and absent other
authority could result in retroactive reduction in any existing taxes, assessments, fees or charges. In
Bighorn, the Court concluded that under Article XIIIC local voters by initiative may reduce a public
agency's water rates and delivery charges. The Court noted, however, that it was not holding that the
authorized initiative power is free of all limitations, stating that it was not determining whether the
electorate's initiative power is subject to the public agency's statutory obligation to set water service
charges at a level that will "pay the operating expenses of the agency, . . . provide for repairs and
depreciation of works,provide a reasonable surplus for improvements,extensions,and enlargements,pay
the interest on any bonded debt, and provide a sinking or other fund for the payment of the principal of
such debt as it may become due."
The District implemented a five-year plan beginning in Fiscal Year 2002-03 which included a
rate increase of$7.50 per year, or 9.4%, for all ratepayers to$87.50 per year. In May 2003,the Board of
Directors approved a 15%rate increase per year, for each year, over the then following five years, upon
2/3 vote of the Board of Directors after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with Article
XBID. The Board of Directors considered this increase necessary to provide needed capital
improvements,to cover additional treatment and disinfection costs, and to minimize rate increases over an
extended period of time. On July 2, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-20
increasing sanitary sewer service charges for all single family and multi-family residential units as well as
most commercial and industrial properties. The Ordinance was adopted by a 2/3 vote of the Board of
Directors as required under law after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with all laws.
The Ordinance increases the amount of the annual charges by approximately 15%per year for each of the
following five years, commencing with Fiscal Year 2003-04, thereby raising the single family residence
user rate from the then current$87.50 to $100.00, $115.00,$132.00, $152.00, and$175.00 annually. The
Ordinance discounted by 5%the annual increases which were the subject of the required protest hearings
on the fee increase as described above. After the completion of the CIP Validation Study for Fiscal Year
2005-06 that increased its ten year CIP cash flow projects to $2.2 billion, or an average of$220 million
per year, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06
single family residential rate 31%, from$115 to $151 for such year. In May 2006, the Board of Directors
adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-30B increasing the Fiscal Year 2006-07 single family residential rate
9.8%, from$151.00 to $I65.80 for such year, except those located in Revenue Area 14. These increases
represented the increase permitted under the protest hearings on the fee increase which was held in 2003.
In June 2007, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-32 increasing the Fiscal Year 2007-
08 single family residential rate by 9.8%. In February 2008, after a noticed public hearing, the Board of
Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-35, which provides for annual increases in the single family
residential rate of 10.4%, 10.0%, 10.4%, 9.4%and 10.1%,respectively, for Fiscal Yews 2008-09 through
2012-13. On March 27, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-41 approving
increases in its sanitary sewer service charges for all single family residences, multi-family residential
units, and all non-residential properties. The Board of Directors increased the single family residential
rate, which is the basis for all of the District's sewer service charges, by 4.8% for Fiscal Year 2013-14
and thereafter by an average of 2.4%annually for each Fiscal Year through Fiscal Year 2017-18.
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will, to the extent permitted by law, fix,prescribe
and collect fees and charges for the services of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to
yield during each Fiscal Year(a)Net Revenues equal to 125%of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for
27002232.5 53
such Fiscal Year, and (b)Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for
such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may
make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the fees and charges then in
effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be
sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. If service charges are determined to be
subject to Article XIIID, and proposed increased service charges cannot be imposed as a result of a
majority protest, such circumstances may adversely affect the ability of the District to generate revenues
in the amounts required by the Master Agreement, and to make Installment Payments as provided in the
Installment Purchase Agreement. No assurance may be given that Articles XIDC and XIIID will not have
a material adverse impact on Net Revenues.
Other Initiative Measures
Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID were adopted pursuant to California's constitutional
initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be adopted by California voters,
placing additional limitations on the ability of the District to increase revenues.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The basic financial statements of the District included in Appendix A to this Official Statement
have been audited by McGladrey LLP, independent certified public accountants. See APPENDIX A—
"COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION
DISTRICT FOR THE YEAR ENDED TUNE 30, 2015" herein. The District has received the
Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement for "Excellence in Financial
Reporting" for over 20 consecutive years. The audited financial statements, including the footnotes
thereto, should be reviewed in their entirety. McGladrey LLP, the District's independent auditor, has not
been engaged to perform, and has not performed, since the date of its report included in Appendix A,any
procedures on the financial statements addressed in that report. McGladrey LLP also has not performed
any procedures relating to this Official Statement.
TAX MATTERS
Tax Exemption
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the"Code")imposes certain requirements that must be met
subsequent to the execution and delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement for the interest
component of each Installment Payment (the "Interest Component"), and the allocable portion thereof
distributable in respect of each Revenue Obligation(each a "Certificate Interest Distribution"),to be and
remain excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of the owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes. Noncompliance with such requirements could cause such amounts to be
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of delivery of the
Installment Purchase Agreement and the Revenue Obligations. The District has covenanted to maintain
the exclusion of the Interest Components and the Certificate Interest Distributions from the gross income
of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes.
Upon the execution and delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement,Norton Rose Fulbright
US LLP, Los Angeles, California, Special Counsel, will deliver its opinion that under existing law, and
assuming compliance with the covenants referred to herein, each Interest Component, and each
Certificate Interest Distribution in respect thereof,is excluded pursuant to section 103(a)of the Code from
the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Further, on that same day Special
Counsel will render its opinion,based solely on the foregoing, and upon existing provisions of the laws of
California, that each Interest Component, and each Certificate Interest Distribution in respect thereof, is
exempt from personal income taxes of the State of California. Special Counsel will render its further
opinion that, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the Installment Purchase
Agreement will not constitute a "specified private activity bond" within the meaning of section 57(a)(5)
of the Code and, therefore, that neither any Interest Component, nor any Certificate Interest Distribution
in respect thereof, will be treated as an item of tax preference for purposes of computing the alternative
minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the Code. Receipt or accrual of an Interest Component allocable
to, or Certificate Interest Distribution in respect of a Revenue Obligation owned by, a corporation may
27002232.5 55
affect the computation of the alternative minimum taxable income of that corporation. A corporation's
alternative minimum taxable income is the basis upon which the alternative minimum tax imposed by
section 55 of the Code is computed.
Pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement and in the Tax Certificate Pertaining to
Arbitrage and Other Matters under Sections 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, to
be delivered by the District in connection with the execution and delivery of the Installment Purchase
Agreement, and the issuance of the Revenue Obligations, the District will make representations relevant
to the determination of, and will make certain covenants regarding or affecting, the exclusion of the
Interest Component of the Installment Payments, and of each Certificate Interest Distribution in respect
thereof, from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. In reaching its
opinions described above, Special Counsel will assume the accuracy of each such representation and the
present and future compliance by the District with each of its covenants.
Except as stated in this section above, Special Counsel will express no opinion as to any federal
or state tax consequence of the receipt or accrual of an Interest Component of an Installment Payment, or
of a Certificate Interest Distribution in respect thereof, or of the ownership or disposition of, a Revenue
Obligation. Furthermore, Special Counsel will express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax law
consequences with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement or the Revenue Obligations, or of the
Interest Components or Certificate Interest Distributions in respect thereof, if any action is taken with
respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement, or the use or investment of proceeds thereof, the Trust
Agreement or the Revenue Obligations predicated or permitted upon the advice or approval of other
counsel. Special Counsel has not undertaken to advise in the future whether any events after the date of
execution and delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement may affect the tax status of Interest
Components or Certificate Interest Distributions or the tax consequences of the ownership of a Revenue
Obligation.
Special Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result, but represents its legal judgment based
upon its review of existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions and the
representations and covenants of the District described above. No ruling has been sought from the
Internal Revenue Service (the `Service") with respect to the matters addressed in the opinion of Special
Counsel, and Special Counsel's opinion is not binding on the Service. The Service has an ongoing
program of auditing the tax-exempt status of the interest on municipal obligations. If an audit of the
Installment Purchase Agreement and Revenue Obligations is commenced, under current procedures the
Service is likely to treat the District as the "taxpayer,"and the owners of the Revenue Obligations would
have no right to participate in the audit process. In responding to or defending an audit of the tax-exempt
status of the Interest Components and Certificate Interest Distributions, the District may have different or
conflicting interests from the owners. Public awareness of any future audit of the Installment Purchase
Agreement and Revenue Obligations could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Revenue
Obligations during the pendency of the audit,regardless of its ultimate outcome.
Existing law may change to reduce or eliminate the benefit to bondholders of the exclusion of
interest on the Interest Components and Certificate Interest Distributions accrued in respect of Revenue
Obligations from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Any proposed legislation or
administrative action,whether or not taken, could also affect the value and marketability of the Revenue
Obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Revenue Obligations should consult with their own tax
advisors with respect to any proposed or future changes in tax law.
A copy of the proposed form of opinion of Special Counsel relating to the Revenue Obligations is
included in Appendix F.
27002232.5 56
Tax Accounting Treatment of Bond Premium and Original Issue Discount
For purposes of the following discussion, each Revenue Obligation should be treated as a debt
instrument, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest on which are the scheduled distributions
of Installment Principal and Installment Interest, respectively, to be allocated to that Revenue Obligation
in accordance with the terns of the Installment Purchase Agreement and Revenue Obligation.
To the extent that a purchaser of a debt instrument acquires that debt instrument at a price that
exceeds the aggregate amount of scheduled interest payments (other than payments of"qualified stated
interest" as defined in section 1.1273-1 of the Treasury Regulations) to be made on that debt instrument
(determined, in the case of a prepayable debt instrument, under the assumption described below) (the
"stated redemption price at maturity" of the instrument), such excess will constitute "bond premium"
under the Code. Section 171 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder,provide
generally that bond premium on a tax-exempt obligation must be amortized on a constant yield,economic
accrual, basis; the amount of premium so amortized will reduce the owner's basis in such obligation for
federal income tax purposes, but such amortized premium will not be deductible for federal income tax
purposes. In the case of a purchase of a Revenue Obligation that is subject to redemption(in whole or in
part)upon a permitted optional prepayment of an Installment Payment, the detem»nation whether there is
amortizable bond premium, and the computation of the accrual of that premium, must be made under the
assumption that the Installment Payment will be prepaid on the permitted date that would minimize the
yield on the Revenue Obligation (or that the Revenue Obligation will not be prepaid prior to the stated
maturity date in respect of that Revenue Obligation if that would minimize the purchaser's yield). The
rate and timing of the amortization of the bond premium and the corresponding basis reduction may result
in an owner realizing a taxable gain when a Revenue Obligation owned by such owner is sold or disposed
of for an meant equal to or in some circumstances even less than the original cost of the Revenue
Obligation to the owner.
The excess,if any, of the stated redemption price at maturity of a Revenue Obligation of a stated
maturity over the initial offering price to the public of the Revenue Obligations of that stated maturity set
forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement is `original issue discount" Original issue
discount accruing in respect of a Revenue Obligation is treated for federal income tax and California
personal income tax purposes as additional interest in respect of that debt instrument and is excluded from
the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes and exempt from the California
personal income tax to the same extent as would be stated interest on that debt instrument. Original issue
discount accruing in respect of any Revenue Obligation purchased at its initial offering price and pursuant
to such initial offering will accrue on a semiannual basis over the term to the stated maturity date in
respect of the Revenue Obligation on the basis of a constant yield method and, within each semiannual
period, will accrue on a ratable daily basis. The amount of original issue discount in respect of such a
Revenue Obligation accruing during each period is added to the adjusted basis of such Revenue
Obligation to determine taxable gain upon disposition (including upon sale, prepayment or payment on
maturity) of such Revenue Obligation. The Code includes certain provisions relating to the accrual of
original issue discount in the case of a purchaser of a Revenue Obligation who purchases that Revenue
Obligation other than at the initial offering price and pursuant to the initial offering of that Revenue
Obligation.
Any person considering purchasing a Revenue Obligation at a price that includes bond premium
should consult his or her own tax advisors with respect to the amortization and treatment of such bond
premium, including, but not limited to, the calculation of gain or loss upon the sale, prepayment or other
disposition of the Revenue Obligation. Any person considering purchasing a Revenue Obligation of a
maturity in respect of which there is original issue discount should consult his or her own tax advisors
with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of such Revenue Obligation,including the treatment of
27002232.5 57
a purchaser who does not purchase in the original offering and at the original offering price of that
Revenue Obligation, the allowance of a deduction for any loss on a sale or other disposition, and the
treatment of accrued original issue discount in respect of such Revenue Obligation under federal
individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes.
Other Tax Consequences
Although each Interest Component, and each Certificate Interest Distribution in respect thereof,
may be excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of the owner thereof for
federal income tax purposes, an owner's federal, state or local tax liability may be otherwise affected by
the ownership or disposition of the Revenue Obligations. The nature and extent of these other tax
consequences will depend upon the owner's other items of income or deduction. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, prospective purchasers of the Revenue Obligations should be aware that
(i)section 265 of the Code denies a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to
purchase or carry the Revenue Obligations and the Code contains additional limitations on interest
deductions applicable to financial institutions that own tax-exempt obligations (such as the Revenue
Obligations), (it)with respect to insurance companies subject to the tax imposed by section 831 of the
Code, section 832(b)(5)(13)(i)reduces the deduction for loss reserves by 15%of the sum of certain items,
including Interest Component and Certificate Interest Distributions in respect of the Revenue Obligations,
(iii)Interest Component and Certificate Interest Distributions accrued in respect of Revenue Obligations
owned by certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States could be subject to a branch
profits tax imposed by section 884 of the Code, (iv) passive investment income, including Interest
Component and Certificate Interest Distributions seemed in respect of Revenue Obligations, may be
subject to federal income taxation under section 1375 of the Code for Subchapter S corporations that have
Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close of the taxable year if greater than 25%of the gross receipts
of such Subchapter S corporation is passive investment income, (v) section 86 of the Code requires
recipients of certain Social Security and certain Railroad Retirement benefits to take into account, in
determining the taxability of such benefits, Interest Distributions and Certificate Interest Distributions
accrued in respect of Revenue Obligations owned by such recipients for federal income tax purposes, and
(vi) under section 32(i) of the Code, receipt of investment income, including Interest Components and
Certificate Interest Distributions accrued in respect of Revenue Obligations, may disqualify the recipient
thereof from obtaining the earned income credit. Special Counsel has expressed no opinion regarding any
such other tax consequences.
VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATIONS
a firm of independent arbitrage consultants,will verify the accuracy of
(i)mathematical computations concerning the adequacy of the maturing principal amounts of and interest
earned on the Government Obligations deposited in the Escrow Fund,together with amounts held as cash
therein, to provide for payment of the prepayment prices (including seemed interest) of the Refunded
2009A Certificates on the Prepayment Date and (ii)certain mathematical computations supporting the
conclusion that the Revenue Obligations are not"arbitrage bonds"under the Code,which will be used in
part by Special Counsel in concluding that the Interest Components and Certificate Interest Distributions
accrued in respect of Revenue Obligations are excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes under present laws, including applicable provisions of the Code, existing court rulings,
regulations and Internal Revenue Service rulings.
The report of such independent arbitrage consultants will include the statement that the scope of
their engagement was limited to verifying the mathematical accuracy of the computations contained in
such schedules provided to them and that they have no obligation to update their report because of events
occurring,or data or information coming to their attention, subsequent to the date of their report.
27002232.5 58

significance of such ratings may be obtained only from the respective organizations at: Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041 and Fitch Ratings, One State
Street Plaza, New York,New York 10004. There is no assurance that any such ratings will continue for
any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the
respective rating agencies, if in the judgment of any such rating agency circumstances so warrant. Any
such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of
the Revenue Obligations.
PURCHASE AND REOFFERING
(the "Initial Purchaser') has purchased the Revenue Obligations from the
District at a competitive sale for a purchase price of$ (representing the aggregate principal
amount of the Revenue Obligations, plus a premium of $ , and less an Initial Purchaser's
discount of$ ). The public offering prices may be changed from time to time by the Initial
Purchaser. The Initial Purchaser tray offer and sell Revenue Obligations to certain dealers and others at
prices lower than the offering prices shown on the inside cover page hereof.

APPENDIX E
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
The description that follows of the procedures and recordkeeping with respect to beneficial
ownership interests in the Revenue Obligations, payment of principal and interest evidenced by the
Revenue Obligations to Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial
ownership interests in the Revenue Obligations, and other Revenue Obligation-related transactions by
and between DTC, Participants and Beneficial Owners, is based on information furnished by OTC which
the District and the Corporation each believes to be reliable, but the District and the Corporation take no
responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof.
The Depository Trust Company—Book-Entry System
The Depository Trust Company("DTC"),New York,NY,will act as securities depository for the
securities (the "Revenue Obligations"). The Revenue Obligations will be issued as fully-registered
securities registered in the name of Cede& Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may
be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered certificate will be issued for
the Revenue Obligations in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with
DTC.
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a
"banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal
Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million U.S. and non-U.S.
equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100
countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the
post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited
securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants'
accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants
include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations,and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust
& Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities
Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing
agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also
available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,banks, trust companies,
and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,
either directly or indirectly("Indirect Participants"). DTC has a Standard&Poor's rating of"AA+." The
DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More
information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. The information on such website is not
incorporated herein by such reference or otherwise.
Purchases of Revenue Obligations under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct
Participants, which will receive a credit for the Revenue Obligations on DTC's records. The ownership
interest of each actual purchaser of each Revenue Obligation (`Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be
recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written
confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written
confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from
the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Revenue Obligations are to be accomplished by entries made on
27002232.5 E-1
the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners
will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Revenue Obligations, except in
the event that use of the book-entry system for the Revenue Obligations is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Revenue Obligations deposited by Direct Participants with
DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee,Cede&Co. or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Revenue Obligations with DTC and
their registration in the time of Cede&Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial
ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Revenue Obligations; DTC's
records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Revenue Obligations
are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will
remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Revenue Obligations may wish
to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the
Revenue Obligations, such as prepayments, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security
documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Revenue Obligations may wish to ascertain that the
nominee holding the Revenue Obligations for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to
Beneficial Owners, in the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses
to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them.
Prepayment notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Revenue Obligations within an
issue are being prepaid, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct
Participant in such issue to be prepaid.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee)will consent or vote with respect to
the Revenue Obligations unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI
Procedures. Under its usual procedures,DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible
after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those
Direct Participants to whose accounts the Revenue Obligations are credited on the record date(identified
in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Prepayments with respect to the Revenue Obligations will be made to Cede & Co., or such other
nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct
Participants' accounts, upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the
District or the Trustee on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's
records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or
registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, nor its
nominee, the Trustee, or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in
effect from time to time. Payment of prepayment proceeds,distributions, and dividend payments to Cede
& Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the
responsibility of the District or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be
the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the
responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Revenue
Obligations at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Trustee. Under such
27002232.5 E-2
circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained,Revenue Obligations are
required to be printed and delivered.
The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Revenue Obligations will be printed and
delivered to DTC.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained
from sources that the District believes to be reliable, but the District takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.
Discontinuance of DTC Services
In the event (i)DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Revenue
Obligations, (ii)DTC shall no longer act and give notice to the Trustee of such determination or(iii)the
District determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain
Revenue Obligations and delivers a written certificate to the Trustee to that effect, DTC services will be
discontinued. If the District determines to replace DTC with another qualified securities depository, the
District shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single, separate, fully registered Revenue
Obligation for each of the maturities of the Revenue Obligations,registered in the name of such successor
or substitute qualified securities depository or its nominee. If the District fails to identify another
qualified securities depository to replace DTC then the Revenue Obligations shall no longer be restricted
to being registered in the certificate registration books in the name of Cede&Co.,but shall be registered
in such names as are requested in a certificate of the District, in accordance with the Trust Agreement.
All Revenue Obligations may be presented for transfer by the Owner thereof, in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing,at the Principal Office of the Trustee,on the books required to be kept
by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, upon surrender of such Certifications
for cancellation accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of transfer in a form
acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee may treat the Owner of any Revenue Obligation as the absolute
owner of such Revenue Obligation for all purposes, whether or not such Revenue Obligation shall be
overdue, and the Trustee shall not be affected by any knowledge or notice to the contrary; and payment of
the interest and principal evidenced by such Revenue Obligation shall be made only to such Owner,
which payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability evidenced by such
Revenue Obligation to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Whenever any Revenue Obligations shall be surrendered for transfer, the Trustee shall execute
and deliver new Revenue Obligations representing the same principal amount in Authorized
Denominations. The Trustee shall require the payment of any Owner requesting such transfer of any tax
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. Revenue Obligations may
be presented for exchange at the Principal Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of
Revenue Obligations of other Authorized Denominations. The Trustee shall require the payment by the
Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect
to such exchange. The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Revenue Obligation
during the period in which the Trustee is selecting Revenue Obligations for prepayment, nor shall the
Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Revenue Obligation or portion thereof selected for
prepayment from and after the date of mailing the notice of prepayment thereof.

APPENDIX F
FORM OF APPROVING OPINION OF SPECIAL.COUNSEL
Upon the execution and delivery of the Revenue Obligations, Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP, Los
Angeles, California, Special Counsel to the District, will render its final approving opinion with respect
to the Revenue Obligations in substantially the following form:
[Date of Delivery]
Orange County Sanitation District
10844 Ellis Avenue
Fountain Valley,California 92708-7018
Orange County Sanitation District
Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations
Series 2016A
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as Special Counsel in connection with the $ aggregate principal
amount of Orange County Sanitation District Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations, Series 2016A
(the "Revenue Obligations') which are certificates of participation that evidence direct, fractional
undivided interests of the Owners thereof in the installment payments (the `Installment Payments"), and
the interest thereon, to be made by the Orange County Sanitation District(the "District') pursuant to the
Installment Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2016 (the `Installment Purchase Agreement'), by
and between the District and the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation (the
"Corporation"). Pursuant to the Master Agreement for District Obligations, dated as of August 1, 2000
(the "Master Agreement"), by and between the District and the Corporation, the District has established
conditions and terms upon which obligations such as the Installment Payments, and the interest thereon,
will be incurred and secured. Installment Payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement are
payable solely from Net Revenues as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement, consisting
primarily of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the
Wastewater System of the District (the "Wastewater System") remaining after payment of Maintenance
and Operation Costs. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Installment Purchase Agreement.
The Revenue Obligations me to be executed and delivered pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated
as of March 1, 2016(the "Trust Agreement),by and among the District,the Corporation and U.S. Bank
National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Proceeds from the sale of the Revenue Obligations will
be used to (i)prepay a portion of the District's outstanding Certificates of Participation, Series 2009A and
(it)pay the costs incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Revenue Obligations.
As Special Counsel,we have examined copies certified to us as being true and complete copies of
the Master Agreement,the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement and the proceedings
of the District in connection with the execution and delivery of the Revenue Obligations. We have also
examined such certificates of officers of the District, the Corporation and others as we have considered
necessary for the purposes of this opinion.
27002232.5 F-I
Based upon the foregoing,we are of the opinion that:
1. The Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Trust
Agreement each has been duly and validly authorized,executed and delivered by the District and,
assuming the Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Trust Agreement
each constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the other parties thereto, each
constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the District, enforceable against the District
in accordance with its respective terns.
2. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payments, and the interest
thereon, and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement
is a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase
Agreement, solely from Net Revenues and other funds provided for in the Installment Purchase
Agreement lawfully available therefor.
3. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement and
the Revenue Obligations by the Trustee, the Revenue Obligations are entitled to the benefits of
the Trust Agreement.
4. Under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and, assuming
compliance with the covenants mentioned below, the component of each Installment Payment
designated as "Interest on Installment Payment" in Section 3.02 of the Installment Purchase
Agreement (each, an "Interest Component"), and the allocable portion thereof distributable in
respect of any Revenue Obligation (the "Certificate Interest Distribution"), is excluded pursuant
to section 103(a)of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986(the"Code")from the gross income of the
owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. We are further of the opinion that under existing
statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the Installment Purchase Agreement is not a
"specified private activity bond" within the meaning of section 57(a)(5) of the Code and,
therefore, that the Interest Components and the Certificate Interest Distributions will not be
treated as items of tax preference for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed
by section 55 of the Code. Receipt or accrual of an Interest Component allocable to, or
Certificate Interest Distribution in respect of a Revenue Obligation owned by, a corporation may
affect the computation of the alternative minimum taxable income of that corporation. A
corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis upon which the alternative
minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the Code is computed. We are further of the opinion that
under existing laws of the State of California the Interest Component allocable to and the
Certificate Interest Distributions in respect of a Revenue Obligation are exempt from personal
income taxes of the State of California under present state law.
Pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement and in the Tax Certificate Pertaining to
Arbitrage and Other Matters under Sections 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986,to be delivered by the District in connection with the execution and delivery of the Revenue
Obligations, the District has made representations relevant to the determination of, and has
undertaken certain covenants regarding or affecting,the exclusion of the Interest Component,and

Preliminary,subject to change.
Pursuant to the Master Agreement for District Obligations, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the
"Master Agreement"), by and between the District and the Corporation, the District has established and
declared the conditions and terms upon which obligations such as the Installment Purchase Agreement,
and the Installment Payments and the interest thereon, will be incurred and secured. Installment
Payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement are payable solely from Net Revenues, as provided
in the Master Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement, consisting primarily of all income and
revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System of the District
(the"Wastewater System")remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs.
The Issue
The proceeds from the sale of the Revenue Obligations will be used to (i)prepay and retire a
portion of the District's outstanding Certificates of Participation, Series 2009A (the"Prior Certificates"),
currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of$ and (ii)pay costs of execution
and delivery of the Revenue Obligations. The Revenue Obligations are to be executed and delivered
pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2016 (the "Trust Agreement'), by and among the
District, the Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized
terms not defined herein shall have the same definitions as used in the Trust Agreement or the Master

Authorization
On , 2016, the District and the Corporation authorized the execution and delivery of
the Installment Purchase Agreement,the Trust Agreement and the Revenue Obligations.
Outstanding Senior Obligations
The District has outstanding Senior Obligations payable on a parity with the Installment
Payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The term"Existing Senior Obligations"as used in
the Preliminary Official Statement refers to the 2007A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2007B
Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008B Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2009A Installment
Purchase Agreement, the 2010A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2010C Installment Purchase

2012B Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2014A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2014B
Installment Purchase Agreement and the 2015A Installment Purchase Agreement.
Security and Source of Payments
The Revenue Obligations are certificates of participation which evidence direct, undivided
fractional interests in the Installment Payments, and the interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to
the Installment Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payments and
the interest thereon and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase
Agreement is a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided under the Installment
Purchase Agreement, solely from Net Revenues and other funds as provided in the hrstalhnent Purchase
Agreement. Net Revenues generally consist of all income and revenue received by the District from the
operation or ownership of the Wastewater System remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation
Costs,all as further provided in the Master Agreement.
The District's obligation to make Installment Payments from Net Revenues is on a parity with the
District's obligation to make payments with respect to its other outstanding obligations described as
Senior Obligations and all Reimbursement Obligations, if any, with respect to Senior Obligations, as
2
provided in the Master Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation
and is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits,
interests and security for Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. Pursuant to the Master
Agreement, the District pledges all Net Revenues to the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, and the Net Revenues will not be used for
any other purpose while any of the Senior Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Senior Obligations remain unpaid; provided, however, that out of the Net Revenues there may be
apportioned such sums for such purposes as we expressly permitted by the Master Agreement. This
pledge constitutes a first lien on the Net Revenues for the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. The term Senior Obligations, generally
means all revenue bonds or notes(including bond anticipation notes and commercial paper)of the District
authorized, executed,issued and delivered under and pursuant to applicable law,the Installment Purchase
Agreement and all other contracts (including financial contracts) or leases of the District authorized and
executed by the District under and pursuant to applicable law, the installment, lease or other payments
which are, in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, payable from Net Revenues on a
parity with the payments under the Master Agreement.
The District may at any time incur Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that prior to
incurring such Subordinate Obligations, the District will have determined that the incurrence thereof will
not materially adversely affect the District's ability to comply with the requirements of the Master
Agreement. The District may at any time incur Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate
Obligations. Currently, there are no Subordinate Obligations outstanding. For a description of the
District's outstanding Senior Obligations, see"FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS— Existing Indebtedness"
in the Preliminary Official Statement.
The District may, in connection with the incurrence of Subordinate Obligations, pledge Net
Revenues to the payment of Subordinate Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that such pledge, and any lien created thereby, shall be
junior and subordinate to the pledge of, and lien on,Net Revenues for the payment of Senior Obligations
and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations.
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District is required, to the extent permitted by law, to fix,
prescribe and collect fees and charges for the services and facilities of the Wastewater System which will
be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year(a)Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on
Senior Obligations for such Fiscal Year and (b)Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service
on all Obligations for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such
fees and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the
fees and charges then in effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and
charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. See
"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE REVENUE OBLIGATIONS Rate
Covenant"in the Preliminary Official Statement.
Additional Obligations
In addition to the Existing Senior Obligations, the District may at any time incur Obligations
payable on a parity or on a subordinate basis to the payment by the District of the Installment Payments
upon satisfaction of conditions provided in the Master Agreement. No Obligations payable on such a
subordinate basis are currently outstanding. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR
THE REVENUE OBLIGATIONS — Limitations on Issuance of Additional Obligations" in the

Obligations will be adjusted in $5,000 increments, to reflect the actual interest rates and any discount or
premium in the winning bid to properly fund the purchase price of the Prior Certificates and to
accommodate certain other requirements or preferences of the District. Such adjustments will not change
any Revenue Obligation in any year by more than 10% of the principal amount for such year. The dollar
amount bid for the Revenue Obligations by the winning bidder will be adjusted to reflect such adjustment

Revenue Obligation) dollar amount of purchaser's discount and original issue discount or premium, if
any, provided in such bid. Any such adjustment will be communicated to the winning bidder within 24
hours after receipt of such bid by the District. Changes in the amortization schedule made as described in

FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF INITIAL PURCHASER
2016
Orange County Sanitation District
Fountain Valley,California
Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP
Los Angeles,California
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have served as the Underwriter in connection with the execution and delivery on behalf of the
Orange County Sanitation District (the "District") of $ Orange County Sanitation District
Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations, Series 2016A(the"Revenue Obligations").
We hereby certify that:
(i) , 2016 was the fast day on which there was a binding contract in writing for the
sale or exchange of the Revenue Obligations by the District to the Underwriter, and on
that day(the "Sale Date"), we undertook pursuant to such contract to make a bona fide
public offering of all of the Revenue Obligations. On the Sale Date all of each maturity
of the Revenue Obligations was offered in a bona fide initial offering to the general
public at the initial offering price or initial offering yield (the "Initial Offering Price")
shown, for such maturity on the inside cover page of the Official Statement, dated
, 2016, relating to such offering (the"Official Statement"). The Initial Offering
Price for each maturity represented: (i) our reasonable determination of a fair market
value on the Sale Date of that maturity of the Revenue Obligations; and (ii) the price at
which we reasonably expected to sell all the Revenue Obligations of that maturity to the
general public;
(ii) based upon our records and other information available to us that we believe to be
correct,the first price at which a substantial portion(but in no event less than ten percent)
of each maturity of the Revenue Obligations[, (except for the Revenue Obligations
maturing in (the "Unsold Maturity"),] was sold by the Underwriter to the
general public was the Initial Offering Price in respect of that maturity as described
above. [For [the] [each]Unsold Maturity,on the Sale Date we reasonably expected that a
substantial portion (at least ten percent) of that Unsold Maturity would be sold at the
initial offering price or yield in respect of that maturity];
(iii) at the time that we agreed to purchase the Revenue Obligations, based upon then
prevailing market conditions, we had no reason to believe that the first sale of any of the
Revenue Obligations to a member of the general public would be at an initial offering
price greater than or an initial offering yield less than the fair market value thereof;
(iv) taking into account the aggregate amount of each maturity, and treating the Initial

Water Supply
Maintaining the County's water supply is the responsibility of the Orange County Water District
("OCWD"), manager of the County's groundwater basin, and the Municipal Water District of Orange
County ("MWDOC"), the County's largest manager of imported water. More than 60% of the County's
water is from local groundwater sources; the rest is imported. The County's natural underground
reservoir is sufficient to carry it through temporary shortfall periods, but local supplies alone cannot
sustain the present population.
Recreation and Tourism
The County is a tourist center in Southern California because of the broad spectrum of
amusement parks and leisure, recreational and entertainment activities that it offers. These tourist
attractions are complimented by the year-round mild climate.
Along the County's Pacific Coast shoreline are five state beaches and parks, five municipal
beaches and five County beaches. There are two small-craft docking facilities in Newport Harbor, a third
located at Sunset Beach and a fourth at Dana Point.
Other major recreational and amusement facilities include Disneyland, Disney's California
Adventure,Knott's Berry Farm and the Spanish Mission of San Juan Capistrano. Also located within the
County are the Anaheim Convention Center, Edison International Field of Anaheim, Honda Center,
Orange County Performing Arts Center, Verizon Wireless Amphitheater and the Art Colony at Laguna
Beach with its annual art festival.
The Anaheim Convention Center is located adjacent to Disneyland. It is situated on 53 acres and
is one of the largest convention centers on the West Coast. Table B-10 summarizes the number of
conventions held in the County, as well as attendance for the period 2008 through 2013. 2014 figures not

Transportation
The County has access to excellent roads,rail,air and sea transportation. The Santa Ana Freeway
(Interstate 5)provides direct access to downtown Los Angeles and connects with the San Diego Freeway
(Interstate 405) southeast of the City of Santa Ana, providing a direct link with San Diego. The Garden
Grove Freeway(State 22) and the Riverside Freeway (State 91) provide east-west transportation, linking
the San Diego Freeway, Santa Ana Freeway and the Newport Freeway(State 55). The Newport Freeway
provides access to certain beach communities.
Drivers in the County have access to two toll road systems of the Transportation Corridor
Agencies. The San Joaquin Toll Road (73)runs from Costa Mesa to San Juan Capistrano connecting to
the 405 and 5 interstate freeways. The Eastern and Foothill Toll Roads (241, 261 and 133) connect the
County to the 91 freeway in the north and the 5 freeway, City of Irvine other South County cities,as well
as Laguna Canyon Road. The Transportation Corridor Agencies are planning to extend 241 to connect to
the 5 freeway near San Clemente.
Rail freight service is provided by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. Amtrak provides passenger service to San Diego to the south, Riverside and
San Bernardino Counties to the east, and Los Angeles and Santa Barbara to the north. Metro Link
provides passenger service to San Bernardino and Riverside counties to the east,the City of Oceanside to
the south and Los Angeles County to the north. Bus service is provided by Greyhound Bus Lines. The
Orange County Transportation Authority provides bus service between most cities in the County. Most
interstate common carrier truck lines operating in California serve the County.
The John Wayne Airport, owned and operated by the County, is the only commercial service
airport in the County. It is approximately thirty-five miles south of Los Angeles, between the cities of
Coast Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach and Santa Ana. Major airlines, including Alaska, Aloha, America
West, American, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Northwest, Southwest and United fly from the airport to
major cities throughout the country. In 2010,more than 8 million passengers were served.
In 1993, the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission directed the closure of Marine
Corps Air Station (MCAS) El Toro ("El Toro" or "the base") effective July 1999. The County was
designated the Local Redevelopment Authority("LRA") for development of a Community Reuse Plan to
guide future development of the former MCAS El Toro. In 1994, Orange County voters narrowly
approved Measure A which zoned the property for use as an international airport. This touched off a
multi-year legal and political battle that ended when 58%of Orange County voters approved Measure W,
the Orange County Central Park and Nature Preserve Initiative, on March 5, 2002. Measure W repeals
B-8
Measure A and amends the County General Plan to prohibit aviation uses and limit future development
for the unincorporated portion of El Toro to park, open space, nature preserve and education and
compatible uses. The day after Measure W was approved, the Department of the Navy issued a press
release stating that disposal of the former Base would be accomplished by means of a public auction. The
City of Irvine responded by developing the Great Park Plan for El Toro. The City of Irvine was approved
by the Local Agency formation Commission("LAFCO")to annex to the City the property that comprises
the former MCAS El Toro. In light of the passage of Measure W,the County has discontinued all work
related to the planning or development of a commercial airport at El Toro.
Natural Disasters; Seismic Activity
Natural disasters, including floods, fires and earthquakes, have been experienced in the County.
Seismic records spanning the past half century and historic records dating from the 1700s through the
early 1900s indicate that the County is a seismically active area. The State Office of Emergency Services
indicates that significant tremors are likely to occur in several fault zones during the next 50 to 100 years,
including a tremor of 7.0 on the Richter scale within the Newport-Inglewood fault system. The chance of
a Richter 7.0 earthquake occurring is estimated to be I to 2% in any year. For this reason, local building
codes require that structures be designed to withstand the expected accelerations for the area without
collapsing or suffering severe structural damage. Maps published by the State Department of
Conservation indicate that portions of the County may be subject to the risk of earthquake-induced
landslides or liquefaction.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Celia Chandler, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: LABOR RELATIONS — CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Board Chair to execute an agreement with the external Chief Negotiator
selected by the Ad Hoc Committee.
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
On January 27, 2016, the Steering Committee approved the formation of an Ad Hoc
Committee for the purpose of interviewing and selecting an external Chief Negotiator
for the upcoming contract negotiations with all six (6) bargaining units at the Orange
County Sanitation District.
The Ad Hoc Committee consists of the Board Chair, the Board Vice-Chair, and the
Administration Committee Chair. The Ad-Hoc Committee is meeting to interview and
select from the following list of firms:
• Liebert, Cassidy, &Whitmore
• Rutan & Tucker
• Filarsky & Watt
• Andleson, Atkinson, Loya, Ruud, & Romo
On February 19, 2016, the Ad Hoc Committee conducted interviews with the firms.
The Committee will report their recommendation to the Steering Committee and the
Board of Directors at their regular February 24, 2016 meetings.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Highly qualified, well trained, motivated, and diverse workforce
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Positive employer, employee relations
• Negotiate fair and equitable labor agreements
Page 1 of 3
PROBLEM
Contract negotiations are expected to begin with all six (6) bargaining units prior to the
expiration of their respective MOU's in June, 2016. In preparation for the upcoming
negotiations, the OCSD labor negotiations team and OCSD's Chief Negotiator will
need to work closely with board leadership to set parameters and develop negotiation
strategies.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Authorize the Board Chair to execute an agreement with the external Chief Negotiator
selected as by the Ad Hoc Committee Chief Negotiator selection process in
accordance with Ordinance NO. OCSD-47, Section 3.03.E Contractors Reporting to
the Board.
OCSD-47 is an ordinance of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation
District establishing requirements and procedures forthe purchase of goods, services,
and public works projects. OCSD-47 Section 3.03.E Contractors Reporting to the
Board, lists that the provisions listed under Article 3 (Professional Services), shall not
apply to the retention of Professional Service firms or individuals that are selected by
the Board and report directly to the Board. For such contracts, the Board shall
determine the method of selection, consistent with the requirements of applicable law.
TIMING CONCERNS
On June 30, 2016, the Memorandums of Understanding (MOU's)with all six (6)of the
OCSD's bargaining units will expire. It is anticipated that the selection of the Chief
Negotiator will be presented to the Board of Directors for consideration and
authorization during the February, 2016 Board Meeting, leaving approximately four(4)
months for preparation and negotiation once the Chief Negotiator is hired.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
On January 27, 2016, the Steering Committee formed an Ad Hoc Committee for the
purpose of interviewing and selecting an external Chief Negotiator for the upcoming
contract negotiations with all six (6) bargaining units at the Orange County Sanitation
District.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On June 30, 2016, the Memorandums of Understanding (MOU's) with all six (6) of the
Orange County Sanitation District bargaining units will expire. Three (3)of the bargaining
units are represented by the Orange County Employees Association (OCEA). OCEA
represents 96 OCSD employees, who perform paraprofessional and administrative jobs.
One (1) bargaining unit is represented by the International Union of Operating Engineers
- Local 501 (Local 501). Local 501 represents 191 OCSD employees, who perform
operations, maintenance and other trade-related jobs. The remaining two (2) bargaining
Page 2 of 3
units are represented by the Supervisor and Professional Management Group (SPMT)
affiliated with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME). SPMT/AFSCME represent 55 OCSD employees that are responsible for
supervisory duties across all Divisions. In addition, SPMT/AFSCME represent 192 OCSD
employees holding professional, exempt-level positions who perform analytical work.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is estimated that the cost for labor relations consulting for all negotiations will total
$60,000.
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance OCSD-47 Section 3.03 B, Contractors Reporting to the Board. This item has
been budgeted. (Line item: FY 2015-16 Budget Section 53256).

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Robert P. Ghirelli, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER
MANAGEMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Information Only.
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
The CA Department of Water Resources (DWR) manages an Integrated Regional
Water Management (IRWM) Program for the purpose of allocating Prop. 84 and
Prop. 1 water bond grant funds. DWR specifies grant allotments to 12 funding areas
statewide; north central Orange County is part of the Santa Ana watershed funding
area, along with portions of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The Santa Ana
Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) administers the grant program in this funding
area. Approximately$63 million dollars in grant funds will be made available in 2017
to fund IRWM projects in the Santa Ana funding area.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Constantly identify and implement increases in efficiency
• Support OCWD expansion of GWRS
• Secure outside funding (grants)for recycled water or other capital program
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with stakeholders
PROBLEM
There needs to be a more equitable process for allocating grant funds to ensure
each region within the funding area receives its fair share of the available monies.
For example, Orange County might garner a greater share of grant funds if the
allocation formula was based on land area and population.
Page 1 of 2
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Representatives of several Orange County agencies are discussing and evaluating
options to work with SAWPA on alternatives to the current allocation process.
OCSD is one of several entities (along with the County of Orange, Irvine Ranch
Water District, and Orange County Water District) proposing to engage SAWPA and
its member agencies in a discussion to refine the IRWM funding process for Prop. 1.
The goal is to work in a cooperative fashion with our SAWPA partners to put in place
an allocation formula that is a more participatory and transparent process for funding
projects within the Santa Ana funding area.
TIMING CONCERNS
With the next round of Prop. 1 funding less than a year away, it is important to
engage SAWPA now to increase the likelihood that an alternative funding approach
is in place to guide the 2017 grant allocations. The joint OCSD/OCWD effluent
reuse study will be complete in summer 2016 and may recommend construction of
projects that could be eligible to receive grant funds in the next round of funding.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Failure to seek a change in the IRWM funding process could mean Orange County
misses out on receiving millions of dollars in Prop 1 grant funds that would otherwise
be spent on projects outside Orange County.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: NEWHOPE-PLACENTIA TRUNK SEWER REPLACEMENT
(FULLERTON/ANAHEIM SEGMENT "A"), CONTRACT NO. 2-72A
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Receive and file Addendum to the 1999 OCSD Strategic Plan Program
Environmental Impact Report for additional project analysis for the Newhope-
Placentia Trunk Sewer Replacement (Fullerton/Anaheim Segment "A"), Contract
No. 2-72A;
B. Receive and file bid tabulation and recommendation;
C. Award a Construction Contract to Trautwein Construction Inc. for Newhope-
Placentia Trunk Sewer Replacement (Fullerton/Anaheim Segment "A"), Contract
No. 2-72A, for a total amount not to exceed $21,134,650; and
D. Approve a contingency of$2,113,465 (10%).
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
The upper reaches of the Newhope-Placentia Trunk and the Rolling Hills Subtrunk
carry flow from portions of the Cities of Brea, Fullerton, and Anaheim to Plant No. 1
for reclamation. Because the Newhope-Placentia Trunk has limited capacity,
approximately S mgd is diverted away from the Newhope-Placentia Trunk into the
SARI line at three flow diversion structures and the Yorba Linda Pump Station.
Because the SARI Line includes nonreclaimable wastes, all of its flow is diverted to
Plant No. 2 and not reclaimed.
The Newhope-Placentia Trunk was constructed in 1959, and the Rolling Hills
Subtrunk was constructed in 1966. The Yorba Linda Pump Station was constructed
in 1974.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities,
including odor, noise, and lighting.
• Less than 2.1 sanitary sewer spills per 100 miles.
Page 1 of 4
• Use all practical and effective means for recovering wastewater for reuse.
• CA Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, Award Construction Contract to
lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
PROBLEM
Previous modeling efforts completed under The Orange County Sanitation District
(Sanitation District) 1999 and 2006 Strategic Plan Update, and 2009 Facilities
Master Plan identified capacity deficiencies in the upper reaches of the Newhope-
Placentia Trunk and Rolling Hills Subtrunk. The Yorba Linda Pump Station would
require extensive rehabilitation if it were to remain in service.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The Newhope-Placentia Trunk Sewer Replacement project, Project No. 2-72, will
increase the capacity of the Newhope-Placentia Trunk Sewer and Rolling Hills
Subtrunk to satisfy current and future flows, allow abandonment of Yorba Linda
Pump Station, and add flexibility to the collections system to divert reclaimable flows
to Plant No. 1. This project also provides capacity for future development, minimizing
the risk of sewer spills in the future. A subsequent project will abandon the Yorba
Linda Pump Station.
The project has been divided into three packages to facilitate bidding and
construction. Package A includes the Newhope-Placentia Trunk on Yorba Linda
Blvd from Campus Drive to State College Boulevard, and on State College
Boulevard from Yorba Linda Boulevard to just south of the 91 Freeway. Package B
will continue south on State College Boulevard from the 91 Freeway to Orangewood
Avenue. Package C will address the Rolling Hills Subtrunk.
This action will award a construction contract for Package A.
TIMING CONCERNS
The design of Package A was expedited at the City of Fullerton's request to take
advantage of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and City of
Fullerton's State College Grade Separation Project that has closed a significant
segment of State College Boulevard within the City of Fullerton until winter 2017.
The closure will significantly reduce traffic on State College Boulevard, which will
then reduce the impact of the Package A construction.
Package A also includes construction along the north and west perimeters of
California State University Fullerton (CSUF). To minimize impacts on CSUF, the
City of Fullerton is requiring that construction in the area occur during breaks and the
summer sessions. The plans and specifications have been prepared to comply with
Page 2 of 4
this requirement, but delays during the allowable construction periods could have an
amplified impact on the cost and time to complete the project.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
• Missing opportunity to start work during CSUF's 2016 summer recess to reduce
public impacts.
• Requirement to rehabilitate, maintain, and operate the Yorba Linda Pump
Station.
• Restricted capacity for anticipated future flows and potential wastewater spills in
public streets with associated fines.
• Difficulty or inability to clean and maintain existing sewers.
• Continue diversion of flows into the SARI line which are not reclaimable.
• Missing opportunity to take advantage of current Grade Separation traffic closure
to reduce public impacts.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District advertised Project 2-72A for bids on November 16, 2015. Seven
sealed bids were received on January 21, 2016. The bids were evaluated in
accordance with the Sanitation District's policies and procedures.
Staff recommends awarding a construction contract to the lowest responsive bidder,
Trautwein Construction Inc., for Newhope-Placentia Trunk Sewer Replacement
(Fullerton/Anaheim Segment "A"), Contract No. 2-72A, for a total amount not to exceed
$21,134,650.
This project's design has gone through an extensive review including construction and
design reviews via third-party Consultants, as well as a complete geotechnical and
utility evaluation to help mitigate construction concerns. These efforts notwithstanding, a
contingency of 10% for construction change orders on this project is recommended due
to the higher than normal risk associated with performing work on State College
Boulevard, in the Cities of Fullerton and Anaheim, California, a roadway heavily
congested with underground utilities. These risks are associated with multiple
construction headings, multiple traffic control setups, and Contractor requirement to
complete work only during the summer months near CSUF campus. These
considerations necessitate a higher than normal contingency to help insure the project
proceeds without delay.

2. In the event of a conflict between terms within an individual Contract Document, the
conflict shall be resolved by applying the following principles as appears applicable:
a. Figured dimensions on the Contract Documents shall govern. Dimensions not
specified shall be as directed by the ENGINEER. Details not shown or
specified shall be the same as similar parts that are shown or specified, or as
directed. Full-size details shall take precedence over scale Drawings as to
shape and details of construction. Specifications shall govern as to material
and workmanship.
b. The Contract Documents calling for the higher quality material or workmanship
shall prevail. Materials or Work described in words, which so applied, have a
well known technical or trade meaning shall be deemed to refer to such
recognized standards. In the event of any discrepancy between any Drawings
and the figures thereon, the figures shall be taken as correct.
C. Scale Drawings, full-size details, and Specifications are intended to be fully
complementary and to agree. Should any discrepancy between Contract
Documents come to the CONTRACTOR's attention, or should an error occur in
the efforts of others, which affect the Work, the CONTRACTOR shall notify the
ENGINEER, in writing, at once. In the event any doubts or questions arise with
respect to the true meaning of the Contract Documents, reference shall be
made to the ENGINEER whose written decision shall be final. If the
CONTRACTOR proceeds with the Work affected without written instructions
from the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for any
resultant damage or defect.

d. Anything mentioned in the Specifications and not indicated in the Plans, or
indicated in the Plans and not mentioned in the Specifications, shall be of like
effect as if indicated and mentioned in both. In case of discrepancy in the
Plans or Specifications, the matter shall be immediately submitted to OCSD's
ENGINEER, without whose decision CONTRACTOR shall not adjust said
discrepancy save only at CONTRACTOR's own risk and expense. The
decision of the ENGINEER shall be final.
In all matters relating to the acceptability of material, machinery or plant equipment;
classifications of material or Work; the proper execution, progress or sequence of the
Work; and quantities interpretation of the Contract Documents, the decision of the
ENGINEER shall be final and binding, and shall be a condition precedent to any payment
under the Contract, unless otherwise ordered by the Board of Directors.

payment notices by refusing to release funds held in escrow pursuant to public

CONTRACTOR or OCSD which has not been communicated in writing
by the CONTRACTOR to OCSD as of the date of the certificate;
c. All warranties are in full force and effect, and;
d. The releases and the warranties shall survive Final Payment.

resolution of those claims. OCSD may withhold from the Final Payment an
amount not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%)of the sum of the
amounts of the open claims, and one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the amounts of open stop payment notices referred to in article entitled

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: SECOND READING OF PROPOSED ADOPTION OF WASTEWATER
DISCHARGE REGULATIONS, ORDINANCE NO. OCSD48
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Motion to read Ordinance No. OCSD48 by title only and waive reading of said
entire Ordinance; and
B. Adopt Ordinance No. OCSD48, entitled "An Ordinance of the Board of Directors
of Orange County Sanitation District Establishing Wastewater Discharge
Regulations, Revising Articles 1 through 8, and repealing Ordinance No.
OCSD-39'; and
C. Direct the Clerk of the Board to publish summaries of the Ordinance as required
by law.
SUMMARY
The proposed revisions to the Wastewater Discharge Regulations include revisions to the
Local Limits table and changes that are administrative and regulatory in nature. These
revisions are a result of changes required or recommended by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board. The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is making additional
changes to facilitate OCSD's ability to achieve long-term compliance for the National
Pretreatment Program under the Clean Water Act, National Safe Drinking Water Act, the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, water recycling,
biosolids requirements, and air quality.
BACKGROUND
OCSD's Environmental Compliance Division is responsible for administering and
enforcing OCSD's Wastewater Discharge Regulations and National Pretreatment
Program through an extensive permitting, monitoring, and enforcement program to
regulate the discharge into local sewers of pollutants from industrial and commercial
facilities.
The National Pretreatment Program is derived from the federal Clean Water Act
amendments of 1977 (CWA). The Pretreatment Program was established to regulate
the introduction of pollutants into the sewer system from industrial sources.
Discharges targeted for regulation include those that will interfere with a treatment or
Page 1 of 4
reclamation facility operation, that may pass through the treatment works and cause
environmental harm, or that are otherwise incompatible with such works. The
Pretreatment Program is also intended to improve opportunities to reclaim municipal
wastewater and biosolids.
Recognizing the need to control the quality of wastewater discharges, the Board of
Directors adopted the first Ordinance in February 1954, which was amended in
February 1958, and again in April 1970. The 1970 amendments formally established
OCSD's Source Control Program for the purpose of issuing permits, setting discharge
limits, and monitoring industrial discharges to the sewer system. In July 1976, the
Ordinance was expanded to include numerical discharge limits for heavy metals.
In July 1983, the Ordinance was again amended to include enforcement of EPA's
newly promulgated categorical pretreatment regulations and to modify OCSD's local
limits for cadmium, copper, and toxic organics at the levels currently enforced. In
September 1989, the Ordinance was further amended to include revisions to the
Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards and other provisions for implementation
of a waste minimization program and escalated enforcement proceedings.
In February 1992, the Ordinance was revised to incorporate new federal and state
regulatory mandates for the administrative and civil penalties. In July 1998, the
Ordinance was again amended to include the newly-adopted policy pertaining to fees
and charges for the use of OCSD's sewer system. In May 2007, the Ordinance was
amended to transfer sanitary sewer charges into a separate Fee Ordinance. In
September 2009, administrative updates were made to the Ordinance.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Federal Clean Water Act Requirements, Ocean Discharge Permit
• Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, Pretreatment Regulations
• Support the Groundwater Replenishment System
• California Code of Regulations, Title 22
PROBLEM
OCSD is required to have a Pretreatment Program that is approved by the EPA and
California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region (RWQCB). As
part of this requirement, OCSD must operate pursuant to legal authority enforceable
in federal, state or local courts, which authorizes or enables the Publicly Owned
Treatment Works (POTW) to apply and enforce any pretreatment requirements
developed pursuant to the CWA and implementing regulations [40 CFR 403.9(b)] and
to "provide a written technical evaluation of the need to revise local limits under 40
CFR 403.5(c)(1), following National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit issuance or reissuance" [40 CFR 122.440)(2)(ii)], and must continue to develop
and revise local limits as necessary [40 CFR 403.5(c)(1)].
Page 2 of 4
PROPOSED SOLUTION
OCSD has performed a technical evaluation of the need to revise local limits and is
promulgating changes to the Wastewater Discharge Regulations in accordance with
federal and state law. OCSD's Wastewater Discharge Regulations: is a legal
mechanism implemented by OCSD that sets out requirements for the discharge of
pollutants into OCSD's collection system, reclamation and treatment facilities; ensures
that OCSD has adequate legal authority to effectively implement its local Pretreatment
Program; and contains Local Limits controlling discharge of pollutants that Users of
OCSD's sewer collection systems must meet.
TIMING CONCERNS
OCSD staff recommends prudent action to the General Manager's recommendations
in consideration of reasonable implementation under 40 CFR 403.2, which states, "A
POTW must act reasonably by implementing its pretreatment requirements consistent
with an effective pretreatment program: i.e., a program that will prevent interference
and pass through, and improve opportunities to recycle municipal and industrial waste
streams and sludges."
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Sections 309(b) and (d) of the CWA give EPA plenary authority to bring a civil action
for injunctive relief and penalties against a municipality that has violated the
pretreatment implementation requirements contained in its NPDES permit and any
requirements contained in an approved pretreatment program incorporated by
reference into the permit. EPA also can enforce the pretreatment regulations, 40 CFR
403, if the permit (or approved program incorporated by reference into the permit)
appropriately references the regulations. Specifically, EPA's cause of action under
Section 8309(b) and (d), in those circumstances, is that the POTW has violated a
permit condition authorized by the statute for the purpose of implementing Section
307 of the Act.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
January 2016 — Board of Directors waived reading of the full text of Ordinance No.
OCSD48, introduced and read it a first time by title only, approved bringing it back for
second reading and adoption at its February 24, 2016 meeting, and directing the Clerk of
the Board to publish summaries as required by law.
September 2009: Adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-39, An Ordinance of the Board of
Directors of Orange County Sanitation District adopting Wastewater Discharge
Regulations and repealing Ordinance No. OCSD-37 at the regular Board meeting.

15273(a) and categorically exempt pursuant to California Code of
Regulations Sections 15307 and 15308.
NOW,THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District does
ORDAIN:
Section I: Wastewater Discharge Regulations governing the use of OCSD's Sewerage
Facilities are hereby restated and amended to provide as follows:
ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
101. PURPOSE AND POLICY
This ordinance sets uniform requirements for Users of OCSD's Sewerage Facilities and
enables OCSD to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including the Clean
Water Act (33 United States Code [U.S.C.] section 1251, at seq.) and the General
Pretreatment Regulations (Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 403).
This Ordinance shall be interpreted in accordance with the definitions set forth in Section
102. The provisions of the Ordinance shall apply to the direct or indirect discharge of all
liquid wastes carried to facilities of OCSD.
A. The purpose of this Ordinance is to provide for the maximum public benefit
from the use of OCSD's Sewerage Facilities. This shall be accomplished
by regulating sewer use and Wastewater discharges; by providing equitable
distribution of costs, in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local
regulations; and by supporting the proper disposal of Prescription Drugs as
noted in the guidelines published by the Office of National Drug Control
Policy. The revenues to be derived from the application of this Ordinance
shall be used to defray all costs of providing sewerage service by OCSD,
including, but not limited to, administration, operation, monitoring,
maintenance, financing, capital construction, replacement and recovery,
OCSD-48-5
and provisions for necessary reserves;
B. This ordinance is meant to protect both OCSD personnel who may be
affected by Wastewater, sludge, and biosolids in the course of their
employment and the general public.
C. To comply with federal, state, and local policies and to allow OCSD to meet
applicable standards of treatment plant effluent quality, biosolids quality,
and air quality, provisions are made in this Ordinance for the regulation of
Wastewater discharges to the public sewer. This Ordinance establishes
quantity and quality limits on all Wastewater discharges which may
adversely affect OCSD's Sewerage System, processes, effluent quality,
biosolids quality, air emission characteristics, or inhibit OCSD's ability to
beneficially reuse or dispose of its treated Wastewater, biosolids or meet
biosolids discharge criteria.
D. It is the intent of these limits to improve the quality of Wastewater being
received for treatment and to encourage water conservation and
Wastewater minimization by all Users connected to a public sewer. This
Ordinance also provides for regulation of the degree of Wastewater
Pretreatment required, the issuance of permits for Wastewater discharge
and connections and other miscellaneous permits, and establishes
penalties for violation of the Ordinance.
E. OCSD is committed to: 1) a policy of Wastewater reclamation and reuse to
provide alternate sources of water supply for OCSD and agencies with
which OCSD has agreements for Wastewater reclamation; and 2) a policy
for the protection of groundwater. OCSD is also committed to help protect
groundwater goals as established by various water quality and water
purveyor agencies. To fulfill these commitments, OCSD may implement
more stringent quality requirements on Wastewater discharges through
regulation, including revisions to this Ordinance.
F. OCSD is committed to a policy for the beneficial use of biosolids, the
implementation of programs to land-apply or provide for the marketing and
distribution of biosolids, which may necessitate more stringent quality
requirements on Wastewater discharges.
G. OCSD is also committed to meet applicable air quality goals established by
the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which may further
necessitate more stringent quality requirements on Wastewater discharges.

302.6 Class I Permit Charge for Use
A. The purpose of a charge for use is to ensure that each recipient of sewerage
service from OCSD pays its reasonably proportionate share of all the costs
of providing that sewerage service. Charges for use to recover the cost of
conveying, treating, and disposing of Sewage in OCSD's Sewerage
Facilities are exclusive of any fees levied by local sewering agencies. The
charge for use shall be based on the total maintenance, operation, capital
expenditures, and reserve requirements for providing Wastewater
collection, treatment, and disposal.
B. A Discharger who is issued a Class I Wastewater Discharge Permit under
the provisions of this Ordinance shall pay a charge for use in accordance
with the formula contained herein and the unit charge rates adopted by
Ordinance of the Board of Directors. These fees shall be invoiced on a
quarterly basis. The quarterly invoice shall be based upon an estimate of
the annual use as determined by OCSD. OCSD shall compute the charge
for use based upon actual use for the preceding fiscal year on an annual
reconciliation statement.
C. The charge for use is payable within forty-five (45) days of invoicing by
OCSD. A special assessment credit will be allowed for any regional sanitary
sewer service charge adopted by the Board of Directors by separate
Ordinance and levied against the permitted property.
D. In order for OCSD to determine actual annual water use, the User shall
provide to OCSD copies of its water bills. If these water bill copies are not
received by August 15th of each year for the 12 month period ended closest
OCSD-48-38
to June 30, OCSD will endeavor to obtain the water use data. Data obtained
by OCSD will be considered correct and will not be adjusted before the next
annual reconciliation statement. There shall be a fee levied for OCSD
administrative costs when OCSD obtains water use data. OCSD's Board
of Directors shall adopt the amount of the fee.
E. The charge for use shall be computed by the following formula:
Charge for Use = VoV + BoB + SoS— Special Assessment Credit
Where V = total annual volume of flow, in millions of gallons
B = total annual discharge of biochemical oxygen demand, in thousands of
pounds
S = total annual discharge of suspended solids, in thousands of pounds
Vo, Bo, So = Unit Charge rates established and adopted by Ordinance of
OCSD's Board of Directors, based upon the funding requirements of
providing sewerage service, in dollars per unit as described in Paragraph F
below:
F. The Unit Charge rates in the charge-for-use formula shall be determined by
the following method:
1. An Operations and Maintenance component of the Unit Charge for
the total annual operation and maintenance funding requirements of
the Sewerage System shall be levied at a rate to be determined from
time to time by the Board of Directors. This Charge shall be allocated
among the three Wastewater charge parameters of flow, biochemical
oxygen demand and suspended solids in accordance with the
General Manager's determination as to the costs associated with
each parameter and pursuant to applicable requirements of state
and federal Regulatory Agencies.
The operation and maintenance costs as distributed to flow,
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids shall be divided
by the projected annual total flow volume and weights of biochemical
oxygen demand and suspended solids to be treated by the
Sewerage System in the budgeted year.
2. A Capital Facilities Replacement Service component of the Unit
Charge for capital replacement and capital improvement shall be
levied at a rate to be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors. This charge shall be allocated among Wastewater charge
parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand, and suspended
OCSD-48-39
solids in accordance with the General Manager's determination of
which portion of the charge predominantly relates to each parameter.
The capital facilities charge distributed to biochemical oxygen
demand, and suspended solids shall be divided by the projected
annual weights of biochemical oxygen demand and suspended
solids to be treated by the Sewerage System in the budgeted year.
3. The Unit Charge rates for each respective Wastewater component
in (1) and (2) above shall be summed. The Unit Charge rates so
determined will be expressed in dollars per million gallons for Vo, and
in dollars per thousand pounds for Bo and So.
G. Other measurements of the organic content of the Wastewater of a
Discharger, such as COD or TOC, may be used instead of BOD. However,
the Discharger must establish to the General Manager's satisfaction a
relationship between the BOD of the Wastewater and the parameter of
measure. This relationship shall be used by OCSD in determining the
charge for use.
When Wastewater from sanitary facilities is discharged separately from the
other Wastewater of a Discharger, the charge for use for discharging the
Wastewater may be determined by using the following:
1. 25 gallons per employee per eight-hour working day.
2. BOD and suspended solids to be calculated at domestic Wastewater
strength per employee per year.
The number of employees will be considered as the average number of
people employed full time on a daily basis. This may be determined by
averaging the number of people employed at the beginning and end of each
quarter, or other period that reflects normal employment fluctuations.

and the reasons for the change. OCSD shall review the request, make a
determination on the request, and respond in writing.
C. Permittee shall be informed of any change in the permit limitations,
conditions, or requirements at least forty-five (45) days prior to the effective
date of change. Any changes or new conditions in the permit shall include
a reasonable time schedule for compliance.
303.5 Class II Permit Duration and Renewal
Class II permits shall normally be issued for a period not to exceed five (5)years. At least
forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the permit, the User shall apply for renewal
of the permit in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3.
303.6 Class II Permit Charge for Use
A. The purpose of a charge for use is to ensure that each recipient of sewerage
service from OCSD pays its reasonably proportionate share of all the costs
of providing that sewerage service. Charges for use to recover the cost of
conveying, treating, and disposing of Sewage in OCSD's Sewerage
Facilities are exclusive of any fees levied by local sewering agencies. The
charge for use shall be based on the total maintenance, operation, capital
expenditures, and reserve requirements for providing Wastewater
collection, treatment, and disposal.
B. A Discharger who is issued a Class II Wastewater Discharge Permit under
the provisions of this Ordinance shall pay a charge for use in accordance
with the formula contained herein and the Unit Charge rates adopted
OCSD-48-44
annually by Ordinance of the Board of Directors. These fees shall be
invoiced on a quarterly basis. The quarterly invoice shall be based upon an
estimate of the annual use as determined by OCSD.
Annually, OCSD shall compute the charge for use based upon actual use
for the preceding fiscal year on an annual reconciliation statement. The
charge for use is payable within forty-five (45) days of invoicing by OCSD.
A special assessment credit will be allowed for any regional sanitary sewer
service charge adopted by the Board of Directors by separate Ordinance
and levied against the permitted property.
C. In order for OCSD to determine actual annual water use, the User shall
provide to OCSD copies of its water bills. If these water bill copies are not
received by August 15th of each year for the 12 month period ended closest
to June 30, OCSD will endeavor to obtain the water use data. Data obtained
by OCSD will be considered correct and will not be adjusted before the next
annual reconciliation statement.
There shall be a fee levied for OCSD administrative costs when water use
data is obtained by OCSD. The amount of the fee shall be adopted by the
OCSD Board of Directors.
D. The charge for use shall be computed by the following formula:
Charge for Use = VoV + BoB + SoS—Special Assessment Credit
Where V = total annual volume of flow, in millions of gallons
B = total annual discharge of biochemical oxygen demand, in thousands of
pounds
S = total annual discharge of suspended solids, in thousands of pounds
Vo, Bo, So = Unit Charge rates adopted annually by Ordinance of OCSD's
Board of Directors, based upon the funding requirements of providing
sewerage service, in dollars per unit as described in Paragraph E below.
E. The unit charge rates in the charge for use formula shall be established
annually and shall be determined by the following method:
1. An Operations and Maintenance component of the Unit Charge for
the total annual operation and maintenance funding requirements of
the Sewerage System shall be levied at a rate to be determined from
time to time by the Board of Directors. This charge shall be allocated
among the three Wastewater charge parameters of flow, biochemical
oxygen demand and suspended solids in accordance with the
OCSD-48-45
General Manager's determination as to the costs associated with
each parameter and pursuant to applicable requirements of state
and federal Regulatory Agencies.
The operation and maintenance costs as distributed to flow,
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids shall be divided
by the projected annual total flow volume and weights of biochemical
oxygen demand and suspended solids to be treated by the
Sewerage System in the budgeted year.
2. A Capital Facilities Replacement component of the Unit Charge for
capital replacement and capital improvement shall be levied at a rate
to be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. This
charge shall be allocated among the three Wastewater charge
parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended
solids in accordance with the General Manager's determination of
which portion of the charge predominantly relates to each parameter.
The capital facilities charge distributed to biochemical oxygen
demand and suspended solids shall be divided by the projected
annual weights of biochemical oxygen demand and suspended
solids to be treated by the Sewerage System in the budgeted year.
3. The unit charge rates for each respective Wastewater component in
(1) and (2) above shall be summed. The Unit Charge rates so
determined will be expressed in dollars per million gallons for Vo, and
in dollars per thousand pounds for Bo and So.
F. Other measurements of the organic content of the Wastewater of a
Discharger, such as COD or TOC, may be used instead of BOD. However,
the Discharger must establish to the General Manager's satisfaction a
relationship between the BOD of the Wastewater and the other parameter
of measure. This relationship shall be used by OCSD in determining the
charge for use. When Wastewater from sanitary facilities is discharged
separately from the other Wastewater of a Discharger, the charge for use
for discharging the sanitary Wastewater may be determined by using the
following:
1. 25 gallons per employee per eight-hour working day.
2. BOD and suspended solids to be calculated at domestic Wastewater
strength per employee per year.
The number of employees will be considered as the average number
of people employed full time on a daily basis. This may be
determined by averaging the number of people employed at the
OCSD-48-46
beginning and end of each quarter, or other period that reflects
normal employment fluctuations.

a) The User shall provide the following information.
1) The categorical Pretreatment Standards
applicable to each regulated process and
any new categorically regulated
processes for Existing Sources.
2) The results of sampling and analysis
identifying the nature and concentration,
and/or mass, where required by the
Standard or by the General Manager, of
regulated Pollutants in the discharge
from each regulated process.
3) Instantaneous, Daily Maximum, and
long-term average concentrations or
mass, where required, shall be reported.
4) The sample shall be representative of
daily operations and shall be analyzed in
accordance with procedures set out in
Section 501.2 of this Ordinance. Where
the Standard requires compliance with a
BMP or pollution prevention alternative,
the User shall submit documentation as
required by the General Manager or the
applicable Standards to determine
compliance with the Standard.
5) Sampling must be performed in
accordance with procedures set out in
Section 602 of this Ordinance.
b) The User shall take a minimum of one
representative sample to compile that data
OCSD-48-61
necessary to comply with the requirements of
this paragraph.
c) Samples should be taken immediately
downstream from Pretreatment facilities if such
exist or immediately downstream from the
regulated process if no Pretreatment exists. If
other Wastewaters are mixed with the regulated
Wastewater prior to Pretreatment the User
should measure the flows and concentrations
necessary to allow use of the Combined
Wastestream Formula in 40 CFR 403.6(e) to
evaluate compliance with the Pretreatment
Standards. Where an alternate concentration or
mass limit has been calculated in accordance
with 40 CFR 403.6(e) this adjusted limit along
with supporting data shall be submitted to
OCSD;
d) Sampling and analysis shall be performed in
accordance with this Ordinance;
e) The General Manager may allow the
submission of a baseline report which utilizes
only historical data so long as the data provides
information sufficient to determine the need for
industrial Pretreatment measures;
f) The baseline report shall indicate the time, date
and place of sampling and methods of analysis,
and shall certify that such sampling and analysis
is representative of normal work cycles and
expected Pollutant discharges to OCSD.
(3) Compliance Certification. A statement, reviewed by the
User's Authorized Representative as defined in this
Ordinance and certified by a qualified professional,
indicating whether Pretreatment Standards are being
met on a consistent basis, and, if not, whether
additional operation and maintenance (0&M) and/or
additional Pretreatment is required to meet the
Pretreatment Standards and Requirements.
(4) Compliance Schedule. If additional Pretreatment
and/or O&M will be required to meet the Pretreatment
Standards,the shortest schedule by which the User will
OCSD-48-62
provide such additional Pretreatment and/or O&M must
be provided.
The completion date in this schedule shall not be later
than the compliance date established forthe applicable
Pretreatment Standard. A compliance schedule
pursuant to this Section must meet the requirements
set forth in this Ordinance.
(5) Signature and Report Certification. All baseline
monitoring reports must be certified in accordance with
this Ordinance and signed by an Authorized
Representative.
2. Compliance Schedule Progress Reports.
The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule
required by this Ordinance:
a) The schedule shall contain progress increments in the form of
dates for the commencement and completion of major events
leading to the construction and operation of additional
Pretreatment required for the User to meet the applicable
Pretreatment Standards (such events include, but are not
limited to, hiring an engineer, completing preliminary and final
plans, executing contracts for major components,
commencing and completing construction, and beginning and
conducting routine operation);
b) No increment referred to above shall exceed nine (9) months;
c) The User shall submit a progress report to the General
Manager no later than fourteen (14) days following each date
in the schedule and the final date of compliance including, as
a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of
progress, the reason for any delay, and, if appropriate, the
steps being taken by the User to return to the established
schedule; and
d) In no event shall more than nine (9) months elapse between
such progress reports to the General Manager.
3. 90-Day Compliance Reports.
Within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with
applicable categorical Pretreatment Standards, or in the case of a
OCSD-48-63
New Source following commencement of the introduction of
Wastewater into OCSD, any User subject to such Pretreatment
Standards and Pretreatment Requirements shall submit to the
General Manager a report containing the information described in
this Ordinance. For Users subject to equivalent mass or
concentration limits, this report shall contain a reasonable measure
of the User's long-term production rate. For all other Users subject
to categorical Pretreatment Standards expressed in terms of
allowable Pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other
measure of operation), this report shall include the User's actual
production during the appropriate sampling period. All compliance
reports must be signed and certified in accordance with this
Ordinance. All sampling will be done in conformance with Section
602.
4. Periodic Compliance Reports.
a) Except as otherwise specified in this Ordinance, all Significant
Industrial Users must, at a frequency determined by the
General Manager, submit no less than twice per year on dates
specified by OCSD reports indicating the nature,
concentration of Pollutants in the discharge which are limited
by Pretreatment Standards and the measured or estimated
average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. In
cases where the Pretreatment Standard requires compliance
with a Best Management Practice (BMP) or pollution
prevention alternative, the User must submit documentation
required by the General Manager or the Pretreatment
Standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the
User including documentation associated with Best
Management Practices.
b) OCSD will meet reporting requirements as specified by 40
CFR Part 3 (Cross-Media Electronic Reporting). Therefore,
Users that send electronic (digital) documents to OCSD to
satisfy the requirements of this Section must register for the
system online and submit a signed Subscriber Agreement to
OCSD for review and approval.
5. Notification of the Discharge of Hazardous Waste.
a) Any User who commences the discharge of hazardous waste
shall notify OCSD, the EPA Regional Waste Management
Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities, in
writing, of any discharge into OCSD of a substance which, if
otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40
OCSD-48-64
CFR Part 261. The User shall receive written approval from
the OCSD to discharge hazardous waste. Such notification
must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in
40 CFR Part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the
type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other). If the User
discharges more than one hundred (100) kilograms of such
waste per calendar month to OCSD, the notification also shall
contain the following information to the extent such
information is known and readily available to the User: an
identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the
wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such
constituents in the wastestream discharged during that
calendar month, and an estimation of the mass of constituents
in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the
following twelve (12) months. All notifications must take place
no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the
discharge commences. Any notification under this paragraph
need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste
discharged. However, notifications of changed conditions
must be submitted under subdivision 6 below. The notification
requirement in this Section does not apply to Pollutants
already reported by Users subject to categorical Pretreatment
Standards under the self-monitoring requirements of this
Ordinance.
b) Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of paragraph
(a), above, during a calendar month in which they discharge
no more than fifteen (15) kilograms of hazardous wastes,
unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in
40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e). Discharge of more than
fifteen (15) kilograms of non-acute hazardous wastes in a
calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes
as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), requires a
one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the
User discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous
waste do not require additional notification.
c) In the case of any new regulations under section 3001 of
RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous
waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous
waste, the User must notify the General Manager, the EPA
Regional Waste Management Waste Division Director, and
state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such
substance within ninety (90)days of the effective date of such
regulations.
OCSD-48-65
d) In the case of any notification made under this Section, the
User shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the
volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the
degree it has determined to be economically practical.
e) This provision does not create a right to discharge any
substance not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this
Ordinance, a permit issued thereunder, or any applicable
federal or state law.
6. Reports of Changed Conditions
Each User must notify the General Manager of any significant
changes to the User's operations or system which might alter the
nature, quality, or volume of its Wastewater in advance of the
change. The notification must be made promptly, but normally within
30 days. In certain cases, this period may be longer.
a) The General Manager may require the User to submit such
information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the
changed condition, including the submission of a Wastewater
discharge permit application under this Ordinance.
b) The General Manager may issue a Wastewater discharge
permit under this Ordinance or modify an existing Wastewater
discharge permit under this ordinance in response to changed
conditions or anticipated changed conditions.
7. Reports of Potential Problems
a) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to,
accidental discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic
nature, a non-customary batch discharge, a Slug Discharge
or Slug Load, that might cause potential problems for OCSD,
the User shall follow the notification procedures under
Notification of Spill or Slug Loading in Article 5. This
notification shall also include the location of the discharge,
type of Wastewater, concentration and volume, if known, and
corrective actions taken by the User.
b) Within five (5) days following such discharge, the User shall,
unless waived by the General Manager, submit a detailed
written report. This written notification shall include, but not be
limited to, the date of the incident, the reasons for the
discharge or spill, what steps were taken to immediately
correct the problem, and what steps are being taken to
OCSD-48-66
prevent the problem from recurring.
c) Such notification shall not relieve the User of any expense,
loss, damage, or other liability which might be incurred as a
result of damage or loss to OCSD, natural resources, or any
other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification
relieve the User of any fees, fines, penalties, or other liability
which may be imposed pursuant to this Ordinance or other
applicable law.
d) A notice shall be permanently posted on the User's bulletin
board or other prominent place advising employees who to
call in the event of a discharge described in paragraph a,
above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who could
cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the
emergency notification procedure.
e) Significant Industrial Users are required to notify the General
Manager immediately of any changes at its facility affecting
the potential for a Slug Discharge.
8. Reports from Unpermitted Users
All Users not required to obtain a Wastewater discharge permit shall
provide appropriate reports to the General Manager as the General
Manager may require.
9. Notice of Violation/Repeat Sampling and Reporting
If sampling performed by a User indicates a violation, the User must
notify the General Manager within twenty-four (24) hours of
becoming aware of the violation. The User shall also repeat the
sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis
to the General Manager within thirty (30)days after becoming aware
of the violation. Resampling by the User is not required if OCSD
performs sampling at the User's facility at least once a month, or if
OCSD performs sampling at the User's facility between the time
when the initial sampling was conducted and the time when the User
or OCSD receives the results of this sampling, or if OCSD has
performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the User.
10. Other reports as required by OCSD.
a) Monitoring reports of the analyses of Wastewater constituents
and characteristics shall be in a manner and form approved
by OCSD and shall be submitted upon request of OCSD.
OCSD-48-67
When applicable, the self-monitoring requirement and
frequency of reporting may be set forth in the User's permit as
directed by OCSD. The analyses of Wastewater constituents
and characteristics and the preparation of the monitoring
report shall be done at the sole expense of the User.
b) Failure by the User to perform any required monitoring, or to
submit monitoring reports required by OCSD constitutes a
violation of this Ordinance, may result in determining whether
the Permittee is in significant non-compliance, and be cause
for OCSD to initiate all necessary tasks and analyses to
determine the Wastewater constituents and characteristics for
compliance with any limits and requirements specified in the
User's permit or in this Ordinance. The User shall be
responsible for any and all expenses of OCSD in undertaking
such monitoring analyses and preparation of reports.
501.1 Inspection and Sampling Conditions
A. OCSD may inspect and sample the Wastewater generating and disposal
facilities of any User to ascertain whether the intent of this Ordinance is
being met and the User is complying with all requirements.
B. OCSD shall have the right to place on the User's property or other locations
as determined by OCSD, such devices as are necessary to conduct
sampling or metering operations. Other sampling locations may include
downstream manholes, usually in the Sewerage System,for the purpose of
determining the compliance status of an industrial or commercial
Discharger.
C. OCSD may require the User to install and maintain sample points in areas
acceptable to OCSD outside the User's facility, within the reasonable
control of the User or OCSD. OCSD may also require lockable sample
boxes fully containing the sample points. The User shall grant OCSD
access to the sample points and sample boxes in accordance with this
Ordinance.
D. In order for OCSD to determine the Wastewater characteristics of the
Discharger for purposes of determining the annual use charge and for
compliance with permit requirements, the User shall make available for
inspection and copying by OCSD all notices, self-monitoring reports,
Waste-Tracking Forms, and records including, but not limited to, those
related to production, Wastewater generation, Wastewater disposal, and
those required in the Pretreatment Requirements without restriction but
subject to the confidentiality provision set forth in Section 103 herein. All
such records shall be kept by the User a minimum of three (3) years.
OCSD-48-68
E. If a Discharger falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any
monitoring device or sample collection method, the Discharger may be
subject to imposition of penalties, permit suspension or permit revocation.
501.2 Analytical Requirements
All Pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques, to be submitted as part of a
Wastewater discharge permit application or report shall be performed in accordance with
the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto, unless otherwise
specified in an applicable categorical Pretreatment Standard. If 40 CFR Part 136 does
not contain sampling or analytical techniques for the Pollutant in question, or where the
EPA determines that the Part 136 sampling and analytical techniques are inappropriate
for the Pollutant in question, sampling and analyses shall be performed by using validated
analytical methods or any other applicable sampling and analytical procedures, including
EPA-approved procedures or procedures approved by the General Manager.
501.3 Right of Entry
A. Persons or occupants of premises where Wastewater is created or
discharged shall allow OCSD, or its representatives, reasonable access to
all parts of the Wastewater generating and disposal facilities for the
purposes of inspection and sampling during all times the Discharger's
facility is open, operating, or any other reasonable time. No Person shall
interfere with, delay, resist or refuse entrance to authorized OCSD
personnel attempting to inspect any facility involved directly or indirectly with
a discharge of Wastewater to OCSD's Sewerage System.
B. Where a User has security measures in place, the User shall make
necessary arrangements so that personnel from OCSD shall be permitted
to enter without delay for the purpose of performing their specific
responsibilities.
501.4 Notification of Spill or Slug Loading
A. In the event the Discharger is unable to comply with any permit condition
due to a breakdown of equipment, accidents, or human error, or the
Discharger has reasonable opportunity to know that a discharge will exceed
the discharge provisions of the User's permit, Sections 201(A) & (B) or
Table 1, Local Discharge Limits, the Discharger shall immediately notify
OCSD by telephone. If the Wastewater or material discharged to the sewer
has the potential to cause or result in a fire or explosion hazard, the
Discharger shall immediately notify the local fire department and OCSD.
Also see Reports of Potential Problems in this Article.
OCSD-48-69
501.5 Bypass Prohibition: Notification of Bypass
A. Bypass of Industrial Wastewater to the Sewerage System is prohibited.
OCSD may take enforcement action against the User, unless:
1. Bypass was unavoidable because it was done to prevent loss of life,
personal injury, or severe property damage;
2. There were no feasible alternatives to the Bypass, such as the use
of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated Wastes,
elective slow-down or shut-down of production units or maintenance
during periods of production downtime. This condition is not satisfied
if adequate backup equipment could have been feasibly installed in
the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a
Bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventative maintenance; and
3. The Permittee submitted notices as required under Section 501.4(A).
B. If a Permittee knows in advance of the need for a Bypass, it shall submit a
written request to allow the Bypass to OCSD, if possible, at least ten (10)
days before the date of the Bypass.
C. OCSD may approve an anticipated Bypass at its sole discretion after
considering its adverse effects, and OCSD determines that the conditions
listed in Section 501.5(A)(1-3) are met.
D. A Permittee shall provide telephone notification to OCSD of an
unanticipated Bypass that exceeds its permitted discharge limits within four
hours from the time the Permittee becomes aware of the Bypass. A written
report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time the Permittee
becomes aware or could reasonably have been aware of the Bypass. The
report shall contain a description of the Bypass and its cause; the duration
of the Bypass, including exact dates and times, and, if the Bypass has not
been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps
taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the
Bypass. Failure to comply with the oral notice or written report may be
grounds for permit revocation.
OCSD-48-70
ARTICLE 6. ENFORCEMENT
601. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
A. The Board finds that in order for OCSD to comply with the laws, regulations,
and rules imposed upon it by Regulatory Agencies and to ensure that
OCSD's Sewerage Facilities and treatment processes are protected and
are able to operate with the highest degree of efficiency, and to protect the
public health and environment, specific enforcement provisions must be
adopted to govern the discharges to OCSD's Sewerage System by
Permittees or by facilities required to obtain Zero Discharge Certifications.
Certain violations may result in civil or criminal penalties for violation of
Pretreatment Standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance
schedule. Such schedules may not extend the compliance date beyond
applicable federal deadlines.
B. To ensure that all interested parties are afforded due process of law and
that non-compliance and violations are resolved as soon as possible, the
general policy of OCSD is that:
1. Any determination relating to a Zero Discharge Certification,
Probation Order, Enforcement Compliance Schedule Agreement
(ECSA), or Regulatory Compliance Schedule Agreement (RCSA)
will be made by the Division Head of the OCSD Pretreatment
Program, with a right of appeal by the Permittee to the General
Manager pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 618.
2. Any permit suspension or revocation recommended by the Division
Head responsible for the OCSD Pretreatment Program will be heard
and a recommendation made to the General Manager by an OCSD
Department Head or other person designated by the General
Manager.
3. Actions and decisions by the Division Head or Department Head are
made pursuant to a delegation of authority by the General Manager
as authorized by Section 107 of this Ordinance.
4. The Board of Directors may adopt rules of procedure to establish the
conduct of certain administrative proceedings.
C. OCSD, at its discretion, may utilize any one, combination, or all enforcement
remedies provided in this Article 6 in response to any permit or Ordinance
violation.
OCSD-48-71
602. DETERMINATION OF NONCOMPLIANCE WITH DISCHARGE LIMITS
A. Sampling Procedures
1. Sampling of all Permittees' facilities, Wastewater and discharges
shall be conducted in the time, place, manner, and frequency
determined at the sole discretion of OCSD.
2. Non-compliance with Mass Emission Rate limits, concentration
limits, permit discharge conditions, or any discharge provision of this
Ordinance may be determined by an analysis of a grab or composite
sample of the effluent of a User. Non-compliance with Mass
Emission Rate limits shall be determined by an analysis of a
composite sample of the User's effluent, except that a grab sample
may be used to determine compliance with Mass Emission Rate
limits when the discharge is from a closed (batch) treatment system
in which there is no Wastewater flow into the system when the
discharge is occurring, the volume of Wastewater contained in the
batch system is known, the time interval of discharge is known, and
the grab sample is homogeneous and representative of the
discharge.
3. All Wastewater samples must be representative of the User's
discharge. Any sample taken from a sample point is considered to
be representative of the discharge to the public sewer.
4. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be
properly operated, kept clean, and maintained in good working order
at all times. The failure of a User to keep its monitoring facility in good
working order shall not be grounds for the User to claim that sample
results are unrepresentative of its discharge.
5. If a User subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors
any regulated Pollutant at the appropriate sampling location more
frequently than required by the General Manager, using the
procedures prescribed in this Ordinance, the results of this
monitoring shall be included in the report.
603. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE FEES
A. Self-Monitoring Requirements as a Result of Non-Compliance
1. If analysis of any sample obtained by OCSD or by a Permittee shows
non-compliance with the applicable Wastewater discharge limits set
forth in this Ordinance or in the Permittee's discharge permit, OCSD
OCSD-48-72
may impose self-monitoring requirements on the Permittee.
2. A Permittee shall perform required self-monitoring of constituents in
a frequency, at the specific location, and in a manner directed by
OCSD.
3. All analyses of self-monitoring samples shall be performed by an
independent laboratory acceptable to OCSD and submitted to OCSD
in the form and frequency determined by OCSD.
4. All self-monitoring costs shall be bome by the Permittee.
5. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the authority of OCSD
to impose self-monitoring as a permit condition.
B. Purpose of Non-Compliance Resampling Fees
The purpose of the non-compliance resampling fee is to compensate OCSD
for costs of additional sampling, monitoring, laboratory analysis, treatment,
disposal, and administrative processing incurred as a result of the non-
compliance, and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any penalties as
may be assessed pursuant to Sections 616 and 617.
C. Non Compliance Resampling Fees for Composite Samples
1. Each violation of a Permittee's permit limit or condition is a violation
of this Ordinance.
a) If analysis of any composite sample of a Permittee's discharge
obtained by OCSD shows a major violation by the Permittee
of the Mass Emission Rates or concentration limits specified
in the Permittee's discharge permit or in this Ordinance, then
the Permittee shall pay non-compliance resampling fees to
OCSD pursuant to fee schedules adopted by OCSD's Board
of Directors.
b) If analysis of any composite sample of a Permittee's discharge
obtained by OCSD shows a minor violation by the Permittee
of the Mass Emission Rates or concentration limits specified
in the Permittee's discharge permit or in this Ordinance, then
OCSD shall impose non-compliance resampling fees
pursuant to fee schedules adopted by OCSD's Board of
Directors.
2. The fees specified in subsection 603.C.1.a), C.1.b) and D herein
shall be imposed for each date on which OCSD conducts sampling
OCSD-48-73
as a result of a violation by a Permittee.
D. Non-Compliance Resampling Fees for Grab Samples and Self-Monitoring
Results
1. If analysis of any grab sample of a Permittee's discharge shows non-
compliance with any concentration limits as set forth in the User's
permit or in this Ordinance, OCSD may impose non-compliance
resampling fees, pursuant to fee schedules adopted by the OCSD
Board of Directors, for resampling conducted by OCSD as a result of
a violation by the Permittee.
2. If any self-monitoring analysis of a Permittee's discharge shows non-
compliance with any concentration limits or Mass Emission Rates as
set forth in the User's permit or in this Ordinance, OCSD may impose
non-compliance resampling fees, pursuant to fee schedules adopted
by the OCSD Board of Directors, for sampling conducted by OCSD
as a result of a violation by the Permittee.
603.1 Probation Order
A. Grounds
In the event the Division Head determines that a Permittee has violated any
provision of this Ordinance, or the terms, conditions and limits of its
discharge permit, or has not made payment of all amounts owed to OCSD
for User charges, non-compliance resampling fees or any other fees, the
General Manager may issue a Probation Order, whereby the Permittee
must comply with all directives, conditions and requirements therein within
the time prescribed.
B. Provisions

and needs to construct and/or acquire and install equipment related to
Pretreatment, the General Manager may require the Permittee to enter into
an ECSA which will, upon the effective date of the ECSA, amend the
Permittee's permit. The ECSA shall contain terms and conditions by which
a Permittee must operate during its term and shall provide specific dates for
achieving compliance with each term and condition for construction and/or
acquisition and installation of required equipment related to Pretreatment.
B. Provisions
The issuance of an ECSA may contain terms and conditions including but
not limited to requirements for self-monitoring, installation of Pretreatment
equipment and facilities, submittal of drawings or reports, operator
certification, audit of Waste minimization practices, payment of fees, limits
on rate and time of discharge, deposit of performance guarantee, interim
limits, or other provisions to ensure compliance with this Ordinance.
C. ECSA- Payment of Amounts Owed
OCSD shall not enter into an ECSA until such time as all amounts owed to
OCSD, including User fees, non-compliance resampling fees, deposits, or
other amounts due are paid in full, or an agreement for deferred payment
secured by collateral or a third party, is approved by the General Manager.
Failure to pay all amounts owed to OCSD shall be grounds for permit
suspension or permit revocation as set forth in Section 605 and 606.
D. ECSA- Permit Suspension/Revocation
If compliance is not achieved in accordance with the terms and conditions
of an ECSA during its term, the General Manager may issue an order
suspending or revoking the discharge permit pursuant to Section 605 or 606
of this Ordinance.
604. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE AGREEMENT (RCSA)
A. Grounds
If at any time subsequent to the issuance of a Wastewater Discharge Permit
to an Industrial User, Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards are
adopted or revised by the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
OCSD-48-75
or in the event OCSD enacts revised or new discharge limits, the General
Manager, upon determination that an Industrial User would not be in
compliance with the adopted revised or new limits, may require the
industrial User to enter into a RCSA with OCSD under terms and conditions
that would provide for achieving compliance with all new standards by the
industrial User on a specific date. The RCSA shall have a maximum term
of two hundred-seventy (270) days. The General Manager may approve a
longer term, upon a showing of good cause.
B. Provisions
The issuance of a RCSA may contain terms and conditions including but
not limited to requirements for installation of Pretreatment equipment and
facilities, submittal of drawings or reports, waste minimization practices or
other provisions to ensure compliance with this Ordinance.
C. RCSA - Non-Compliance Resampling Fee
During the period a RCSA is in effect, any discharge by Permittee in
violation of the RCSA will require payment of non-compliance resampling
fees in accordance with this Article 6.
605. PERMIT SUSPENSION
A. Grounds
The General Manager may suspend any permit when it is determined that
a Permittee:
1. Fails to comply with the terms and conditions of either an ECSA or
RCSA.
2. Knowingly provides a false statement, representation, record, report,
or other document to OCSD.
3. Refuses to provide records, reports, plans, or other documents

User charges, non-compliance sampling fees, permit fees, or any
other fees imposed pursuant to this Ordinance.
9. Violates any condition or limit of its discharge permit or any provision
of OCSD's Ordinances or regulations.
B. Notice/Hearing
When the General Manager has reason to believe that grounds exist for
permit suspension, he shall give written notice thereof via personal delivery,
mail with proof of delivery, or a similar method to the permittee setting forth
a statement of the facts and grounds deemed to exist, together with the time
and place where the charges shall be heard by the General Manager's
designee. The hearing date shall be not less than fifteen (15)calendar days
nor more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the mailing of such notice.
1. At the suspension hearing, the Permittee shall have an opportunity
to respond to the allegations set forth in the notice by presenting
written or oral evidence. The hearing shall be conducted in
accordance with procedures established by the General Manager
and approved by OCSD's General Counsel.
2. After the conclusion of the hearing, the General Manager's designee
shall submit a written report to the General Manager within thirty(30)
calendar days after the conclusion of the hearing setting forth a brief
statement of facts found to be true, a determination of the issues
presented, conclusions, and a recommendation.
Upon receipt of the written report, the General Manager shall make his
determination and should he/she find that grounds exist for suspension of
the permit, he/she shall issue his/her decision and order in writing within

Activated-sludge process — A secondary biological wastewater treatment process where bacteria
reproduce at a high rate with the introduction of excess air or oxygen, and consume dissolved
nutrients in the wastewater.
Benthos — The community of organisms, such as sea stars, worms and shrimp, which live on, in, or
near the seabed, also know as the benthic zone.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)—The amount of oxygen used when organic matter undergoes
decomposition by microorganisms. Testing for BOO is done to assess the amount of organic matter in
water.
Biosolids — Biosolids are nutrient rich organic and highly treated solid materials produced by the
wastewater treatment process. This high-quality product can be recycled as a soil amendment on
farm land or further processed as an earth-like product for commercial and home gardens to improve
and maintain fertile soil and stimulate plant growth.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) — Projects for repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of assets.
Also includes treatment improvements, additional capacity, and projects for the support facilities.
Coliform bacteria—A group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals, but also
occasionally found elsewhere used as indicators of sewage pollution. E. coli are the most common
bacteria in wastewater.
Collections system — In wastewater, it is the system of typically underground pipes that receive and
convey sanitary wastewater or storm water.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Certificate of Participation (COP) -A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the
lease revenues of a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues.
Contaminants of Potential Concern (CPC) - Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic
wastewater contaminants.
Dilution to Threshold (D!f) - the dilution at which the majority of the people detect the odor
becomes the D(f for that air sample.
Greenhouse gases - In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, and ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming ("greenhouse
effect").
Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) System - A joint water reclamation project that proactively
responds to Southern California's current and future water needs. This joint project between the
Orange County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District provides 70 million gallons a
day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
Levels of Service (LOS)-Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance.
NOMA- N-Nitrosodimethylamine is an N-nitrosoamine suspected cancer-causing agent. It has been
found in the Groundwater Replenishment System process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide
with extra ultra-violet treatment.
National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) - An alliance of the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA) and Water Environment Federation (WEF), with advisory support from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). NBP is committed to developing and advancing
environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory
compliance and promote public participation in order to enhance the credibility of local agency
biosolids programs and improved communications that lead to public acceptance.
Plume-A visible or measurable concentration of discharge from a stationary source or fixed facility.
Publicly-owned Treatment Works (POTW)- Municipal wastewater treatment plant.
Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) Line - A regional brine line designed to convey 30 million
gallons per day (MGD) of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the
ocean for disposal, after treatment.
Sanitary sewer - Separate sewer systems specifically for the carrying of domestic and industrial
wastewater. Combined sewers carry both wastewater and urban run-off.
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) - Regional regulatory agency that
develops plans and regulations designed to achieve public health standards by reducing emissions
from business and industry.
Secondary treatment - Biological wastewater treatment, particularly the activated-sludge process,
where bacteria and other microorganisms consume dissolved nutrients in wastewater.
Sludge - Untreated solid material created by the treatment of wastewater.
Total suspended solids (TSS)-The amount of solids floating and in suspension in wastewater.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Trickling filter — A biological secondary treatment process in which bacteria and other
microorganisms, growing as slime on the surface of rocks or plastic media, consume nutrients in
wastewater as it trickles over them.
Urban runoff — Water from city streets and domestic properties that carry pollutants into the storm
drains, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Wastewater—Any water that enters the sanitary sewer.
Watershed —A land area from which water drains to a particular water body. OCSD's service area is
in the Santa Ana River Watershed.
