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

The failure of OCSD to deduct any of the above-identified sums from a
progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of OCSD's right to such sums or
to deduct them from a later progress payment.

provisions of the Contract, OCSD shall retain from progress payments
otherwise due the CONTRACTOR an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five

labor, materials, supplies, equipment, and any other thing of value claimed to
have been furnished to and/or incorporated into the Work; or for any other
alleged contribution thereto. In addition to the foregoing and in accordance with
Civil Code§9358 OCSD may also satisfy its duty to withhold funds for stop
payment notices by refusing to release funds held in escrow pursuant to public
receipt of a release of stop payment notice executed by a stop payment notice
claimant, a stop payment notice release bond, an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction, or other evidence satisfactory to OCSD that the CONTRACTOR
has resolved such claim by settlement.

effective releases or waivers of liens and stop payment notices satisfactory
to OCSD, arising out of or fled in connection with the Work. Prior progress
payments shall be subject to correction in OCSD's review of the application
for Final Payment. Claims filed with the application for Final Payment must
be otherwise timely under the Contract and applicable law.
3. Within a reasonable time, OCSD will review the CONTRACTOR'S
application for Final Payment. Any recommended changes or corrections

arising under the Contract, except for Claims that with the concurrence of

related to the settled Claims included in the Final Payment;
b. It has no reason to believe that any party has a valid claim against the
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

I hereby certify under penalty of perjury as follows:
That the claim for payment is in all respects true, correct; that the services mentioned

paid. The term "knowingly" includes either actual knowledge of the information,
deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information, or reckless disregard for the
truth or falsity of the information. Proof of specific intent to defraud is not necessary
under the False Claims Acts. I understand that the penalties under the Federal False
Claims Act and State of California False Claims Act are non-exclusive, and are in
addition to any other remedies which OCSD may have either under contract or law.
I hereby further certify, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that:
1. The amounts requested are only for performance in accordance with the
Specifications, terms, and conditions of the Contract;
2. Payments to Subcontractors and Suppliers have been made from previous payments
received under the Contract, and timely payments will be made from the proceeds of
the payment covered by this certification;
3. This request for progress payments does not include any amounts which the prime
CONTRACTOR intends to withhold or retain from a Subcontractor or Supplier in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract; and
4. This certification is not to be construed as Final Acceptance of a Subcontractor's
performance.

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into, to be effective, this September 24, 2014, by and
between J.R. Filanc Construction Company, Inc., hereinafter referred to as "CONTRACTOR"
and the Orange County Sanitation District, hereinafter referred to as"OCSD".
WITNESSETH
That for and in consideration of the promises and agreements hereinafter made and exchanged,
OCSD and CONTRACTOR agree as follows:
SECTION-1 GENERAL CONDITIONS
CONTRACTOR certifies and agrees that all the terms, conditions and obligations of the
Contract Documents as hereinafter defined, the location of the job site, and the conditions under
which the Work is to be performed have been thoroughly reviewed, and enters into this Contract
based upon CONTRACTOR's investigation of all such matters and is in no way relying upon
any opinions or representations of OCSD. It is agreed that this Contract represents the entire
agreement. It is further agreed that the Contract Documents are each incorporated into this
Contract by reference, with the same force and effect as if the same were set forth at length
herein, and that CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors, if any, will be and are bound by any
and all of said Contract Documents insofar as they relate in any part or in any way, directly or
indirectly, to the Work covered by this Contract.
A. Contract Documents Order of Precedence
"Contract Documents" refers to those documents identified in the definition of"Contract
Documents" in the General Conditions—Definitions.

1. In the event of a conflict between one Contract Document and any of the other
Contract Documents, the provisions in the document highest in precedence shall be
controlling. The order of precedence of the Contract Documents is as follows:
a. Supplemental Agreements—the last in time being the first in precedence
b. Addenda issued prior to opening of Bids—the last in time being the first in
precedence
c. Contract Agreement
d. Permits and other regulatory requirements
e. Special Provisions
f. General Conditions (GC)
g. Notice Inviting Bids and Instruction to Bidders
h. Geotechnical Baseline Report(GBR), if attached as a Contract Document
I. Plans and Specifications—in these documents the order of precedence shall be:
i. Specifications (Divisions 01-17)
ii. Plans
H. General Requirements (GR)
iv. Standard Drawings and Typical Details
j. CONTRACTOR'S Bid
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.

SUBJECT: EMERGENCY REPAIR SERVICES FOR PLANT 1 HEADWORKS
SPUTTER BOX
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Ratify use of General Manager's emergency purchasing authority, Ordinance OCSD-44,
Article 2, Section 2.03E (Critical Time-Sensitive Procurement) and Article 1, Section
1.07B (Emergency Procurement), authorizing the General Manager to issue a change
order to the Purchase Order No. 105219-OB with Jamison Engineering Contractors in
the amount of $40,000 for a total of $160,000 for Emergency Repair Services for Plant
No. 1 Headworks Splitter Box.
SUMMARY
Plant 1 Headworks is a critical facility that conveys wastewater from the collection
system into the treatment plant. On August 6, 2014, a small leak was reported weeping
up through the asphalt surface near this structure. Staff determined that emergency
repairs were required and estimated inspection and repair costs at $120,000. After all
three channels were inspected, it was determined that additional funds totaling $40,000
were required for unanticipated construction needs including pumping, sealant, confined
space entry, and design repairs.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Original Purchase Order for emergency repairs was an estimate formulated with
available information once the emergency was declared. During that time it was
anticipated that OCSD would provide the pumping needs for the required manned
entries in the splitter box channels. OCSD's skid mounted pumps were not able to pull a
suction due to the channel depth of over 34 feet. Jamison Engineering was directed to
rent a submersible pump to accomplish the necessary pump down. It was discovered
that continual pumping of the effluent channel was necessary due to water leaking
through an isolation gate.
The original Purchase Order estimate did not anticipate costs for chemical grouting. It
was originally assumed that the existing internal plates with gaskets may just require
adjusting due to channel settling. It was later determined that additional chemical grout
injection was needed to prevent moisture from entering the repair area.
Page 1 of 3
Additional labor for the channel inspection required five more confined space
entries than anticipated. These inspections were necessary to confirm leak assessment
and conduct the construction steps required for needed repairs.
At the time of the original Purchase Order the repair strategy was unknown. After all
channels were inspected, a mock repair was built to test a new design using the
"Combiflex" repair recommended by Carollo Engineering. The additional repair costs
are outlined below:
Additional rental pumping costs not included in original PO is approximately
$8000.
Additional chemical grout injection needed to prevent moisture from entering the
repair area is approximately $12,000.
Additional confined space entries to investigate where channels were leaking
approximately $10,000.
The final repair design approximately $5,000.

PROJECT NO. FR10-018
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Ratify Change Order No. 1 to Replacement of Valves at Bay Bridge Valve Vault, Project
No. FR10-018, with Bali Construction, Incorporated (Bali) authorizing an additional
$180,080 and 72 days, increasing the total contract amount to $394,169; and extending
the contract completion to September 30, 2014.
SUMMARY
The Bay Bridge Valve Vault is located on the south side of West Pacific Coast Highway
between Bayside Drive and Newport Bay in the City of Newport Beach. The work
covered under this contract replaced four 24-inch knife valves within the Bay Bridge
Valve Vault. The valve replacements needed to be completed ahead of Contract No. 5-
60 (Newport Force Main Rehabilitation Project), which is in construction. The project
was competitively bid per plans and specifications and awarded to Bali in May 2014.
Change Order No. 1 includes four items of added work. There are two staff requested
changes, one City (City of Newport Beach) requested change, and one change due to
an unknown condition associated with this change order.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
April - 2014 — The Board approved award of a contract to Bali, for the Replacement of
Valves at Bay Bridge Valve Vault, Project No. FR10-018, for a total amount not to
exceed $214,089; and approved a contingency of $42,818 (20%).
February - 2014 — The Operations Committee approved the competitive bidding and
subsequent awarding to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, for the
Replacement of Valves at Bay Bridge Valve Vault, Project No. FR10-018, for a total
amount not to exceed $170,000; and approved a contingency of $34,000 (20%). The
lowest responsible and responsive bid ($214,089) was higher than the Engineer's

Item 1 kept the pedestrian/bike bath open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. during the
duration of the project. The Contractor was required to excavate and bury the temporary
by-pass pipe, install trench plates and ramps to allow pedestrian/bike access, remove
material and equipment, and restore the pedestrian/bike path to pre-construction
condition. This change was required by the City of Newport Beach as a condition of the
Encroachment Permit.
Page 2 of 4
Item 2 provided a protective coating on one of the fittings (supplied by OCSD per
Contract). The design change was required by District staff in order to provide protective
coatings per district standards that extend the useful life of the vault valves and piping
assembly.
Item 3 provided cathodic protective sleeves, fiber washers, and 316 stainless steel
washers as needed to prevent corrosion of pipe, elbows, tees, nuts, washers, and bolts
to be used at the Bay Bridge Valve Vault. Corrosion occurs between different metals.
The OCSD valves to be installed on the project are 316 stainless steel bodies, while the
piping they will be connected to is Ductile Iron Pipe or Carbon Steel Pipe.
Item 4 replaced three ductile iron fittings with steel pipe that have welded flanges. A
temporary 90 degree elbow was also custom fit to allow use of the south force main as
part of the temporary bypass system. While removing the existing fittings, as part of the
Contract work, the pipe within the valve vault shifted. This made installation of the new
contract specified fittings impossible. The Contractor proposed to fabricate custom steel
pipe fittings with welded flanges in order to accommodate the shifted pipe locations.
The changes associated with this item were required in order to accommodate the pipe
movement due to unknown conditions and in order to minimize the risk of a spill during
the valve replacement work. Ancillary costs associated with this item included additional
(24/7) monitoring of the temporary sewage bypass system, as well as additional spill
prevention measures (tanks/pumps/tanker trucks) required for the duration of the
change order work.
Additional scope items have been completed through issuance of Field Change Order
(FCO's). The costs associated with the FCO's were issued on a time and materials
basis and/or negotiated with the Contractor and authorized by staff in order to complete
the valve replacement work as soon as possible.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Jeff Reed, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT - COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT
INTERIM HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) to contract a senior human
resources analyst as the interim human resources manager to the Costa Mesa Sanitary
District (CMSD) for up to six (6) months as a workforce development opportunity.
SUMMARY
Recently, OCSD was contacted by the CMSD's Clerk of the District with an information
request for copies of proposals for comprehensive classification and compensation
studies, and a referral for a recruiting firm to fill a recently vacated human resources
manager position. Additionally, the email made reference to OCSD knowledge of any
interested individuals to fill the vacancy on an interim basis for a period up to six (6)
months.
Subsequently, human resources staff contacted the Clerk of the District at CMSD
directly to prepare one of OCSD's staff members to temporarily fill the vacant human
resources manager position in support of OCSD's workforce development program.
Upon consultation by the Clerk of the District with CMSD's General Manager, the idea
was supported by CMSD as a shared resource, thereby obtaining a qualified individual
from OCSD to assist their agency in strengthening their human resources function, and
coach and mentor the administrative assistant currently supporting the function.
The assignment to CMSD is a leadership development opportunity that will provide the
senior human resources analyst with access to a professional growth assignment that
includes the oversight of an agency human resources function with responsibilities
across a wide spectrum of human resources programs. It also provides for additional
developmental opportunities that benefit both agencies; OCSD is able to develop staff
externally and transfer that learning back to OCSD, and CMSD is able to fill a
leadership void and capitalize on the diversity of OCSD human resources programs. In
turn, existing OCSD employees, both inside and outside of human resources will have
access to development opportunities by assuming the interim vacant higher-level duties
and responsibilities ("stretch" assignments).

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This unique leadership development opportunity supports OCSD's goal of creating the
best possible workforce. It is one of several workforce planning and workforce
development initiatives that ensures we have the right people with the right skills and
abilities, in the right place, at the right time by preparing for our future staffing needs by
developing the existing workforce. These efforts are especially important to address the
impending gaps in core wastewater occupations and management positions as a result
of our aging workforce and projected increase in retirements.
To date, OCSD has implemented workforce planning and workforce development
initiatives that include targeted leadership training and academies, succession plans to
anticipate projected gaps for leadership positions, talent readiness assessments to
evaluate staff preparedness for potential future roles, discussions focused on individual
development needs and vulnerability assessments that support staffing planning.
A comprehensive BLAST (Building Leaders, Abilities, and Skills for Tomorrow) program
was developed by employees for employees to build a culture of leadership at all levels
of the organization. BLAST opportunities include onsite and offsite instructor-led
leadership development training, online leadership development training, mentoring, job
shadowing, rotations, cross-training, and other leadership resources (books, videos,
website, and articles). OCSD's Human Resources Department implemented a job
rotation plan program several years ago. Staff members rotate through each of the
functional areas in the workgroup to develop a broad range of human resources skills.
Furthermore, this effort aligns with the recommendation of Dr. Frank Benest that OCSD
pursue cross training with others agencies. Dr. Benest is a reputable consultant who
assisted OCSD with the launch of its Workforce Planning and Workforce Development
program. This endeavor also paves the way as a pilot for additional partnering
opportunities, another OCSD goal, and provides a model for others agencies interested
in doing the same.
Human Resources Management consulted with General Counsel to ensure that all legal
issues were considered and addressed prior to presenting this opportunity to the Board
of Directors. Two specific issues raised were the impact on risk and remuneration.
1. In this contractual relationship, OCSD recognizes associated exposures like
worker's compensation, employment practices liability and general liability are
present and will be addressed through the indemnification of OCSD by the CMSD. In
addition, the workers compensation liability will be transferred to the CMSD for the
term of the contact. The practice of contractually transferring such risks is
commonplace in both public and private settings. This approach also assures that
exposures and liabilities are properly managed.
Page 2 of 3
2. To ensure that the OCSD employee contracted to the CMSD continues to receive
the full salary, benefits and retirement funding, OCSD will invoice the CMSD on a bi-
weekly basis to recover the full costs of the contracted employee. This will ensure
the opportunity does not raise concerns regarding the gift of public funds.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: SLUDGE DEWATERING, ODOR CONTROL, AND PRIMARY SLUDGE
THICKENING AT PLANT NO. 1, PROJECT NO. P1-101
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 14-11 entitled; "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of
Orange County Sanitation District adopting the "One Water, One Watershed" (OWOW)
2.0 Integrated Regional Water Management Plan."
SUMMARY
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) signed a Grant Funding
Contract with Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) on July, 2012, and
entered into a Grant Funding Program with California Department of Water Resources
(DWR) for monetary assistance under Proposition 84, for the Sludge Dewatering, Odor
Control, and Primary Sludge Thickening at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-101.
The grant is provided through DWR, under Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking Water,
Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of
2006, and the purpose of the grant is to fund projects that are included in an Integrated
Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) which maximizes regional water resource
strategies in the area of water supply, water quality and water recycling, wastewater,
groundwater recharge, etc., to minimize the use of imported water from outside sources,
such as the Colorado River.
Resolution No. OCSD 10-21 was approved by the Sanitation District in November, 2010
to adopt the "One Water, One Watershed" (OWOW 1.0 plan) IRWMP.
In February, 2014, SAWPA adopted an updated OWOW 2.0 plan. The changes from
the OWOW 1.0 plan are extensive and the OWOW 2.0 plan has substantially changed
with a greater emphasis on implementation concepts and projects, revised pillar
chapters and supplemented with extensive work by the Bureau of Reclamation in
regards to climate change impacts to the watershed.
Adoption of the updated OWOW 2.0 plan is required as part of the DWR Grant Program
Guidelines. The attached resolution (required by DWR) provides for the adoption of the
OWOW 2.0 plan by the Sanitation District
The current Proposition 84 grant amount is $1,000,000.
Page 1 of 3
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 2010 - Adopted Resolution No. OCSD 10-21, adopting the "One Water, One
Watershed" (OWOW 1.0) Integrated Regional Water Management Plan and authorized
the General Manager, or his designee, to enter into a Grant Funding Program with
California Department of Water Resources for monetary assistance under Proposition
84, for the Sludge Dewatering, Odor Control, and Primary Sludge Thickening at Plant
No. 1, Project No. P1-101.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Project No. P1-101 replaces existing solids and dewatering odor control systems and
installs sludge thickening systems at the Sanitation District, Plant No. 1. The Sanitation
District needs this project for the following reasons:
1. Additional capacity to thicken and dewater sludge due to conversion of Plant
No. 1 to full secondary treatment and increased flows to support expansion of the
Ground Water Replinishment System (GWRS).
2. Existing sludge dewatering facilities that were built in the late 1970s and early 1980s
need to be replaced because equipment is in poor condition and is reaching the end
of its useful life.
3. Increase biosolids cake dryness to reduce biosolids management costs.
4. Improve sludge thickening to optimize use of existing digesters and eliminate
construction of new digesters.
5. Manage site constraints at Plant No. 1 by building compact solids treatment facilities
and facilitate future expansion.
This project will reduce operational costs by an estimated $3.62M annually and has a
lower total 25-year operations and capital costs compared to the Sanitation District
existing process/technology.
CEQA
The OWOW IRWMP is a planning document exempt from CEQA (pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15262, 15306, and 15307); and SAWPA has made the OWOW
IRWMP available for public review, and noticed a public hearing to adopt the OWOW
IRWMP, in a manner prescribed by law and consistent with Water Code Section 10543.
SAWPA adopted the OWOW 2.0 IRWMP on February 4, 2014.

SUBJECT: BAY BRIDGE PUMP STATION AND FORCE MAINS REHABILITATION
STUDY, PROJECT NO. SP-178
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a budget increase of $175,000, increasing the total amount not to
exceed $575,000;
B. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with RBF Consulting to provide
engineering design services for Bay Bridge Pump Station and Force Mains
Rehabilitation Study, Project No. SP-178, for an amount not to exceed $475,308;
and,
C. Approve a contingency of$47,530 (10%).
SUMMARY
The purpose of this project is to identify and analyze alignments for the Bay Bridge
Pump Station located in Newport Beach and associated force mains, prepare an Initial
Study, and draft the corresponding document pursuant to CEQA Guidelines.
The Bay Bridge Pump Station needs to be replaced in order to meet existing Orange
County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) standards and increase the capacity of
the station. The existing pump station was built in 1965 and rehabilitated in 1992. The
pump station is surrounded by an RV storage area that will soon be developed into
mixed use residential/retail and boat storage space by the Newport Back Bay Landing
Project (Project). The Project developer has prepared an Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) for the area to be developed. The Project EIR includes the Sanitation District's
Bay Bridge Pump Station in its current location and current size. The Sanitation District
is looking to expand the current pump station, as such; we must prepare our own CEQA
document to analyze site options and potential purchase of land.
The Sanitation District advertised a Request for Proposal (RFP) and three proposals
were received. The three proposals were evaluated and ranked, and RBF Consulting
was selected as the most qualified proposal. Staff recommends awarding a
Professional Services Agreement (PSA)to RBF Consulting for an amount not to exceed
$475,308.
Page 1 of 4
Staff is requesting a budget increase of $175,000, as the complexity of the project has
grown with the additional challenges to acquire new land, and the evaluation of
alignment alternatives for the force mains under Newport Bay is a significant effort.
Staff is also requesting the budget increase for legal and land appraisal fees.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Project Scope of Work:
This project will provide a Pump Station siting study, an Alignment Study, and a
comprehensive environmental document pursuant to CEQA Guidelines for the
replacement of the Bay Bridge Pump Station and associated force mains. It is
anticipated that a full EIR will be required for this project.
Request for Proposal (RFP):
The evaluation and selection process is based on procedures pursuant to the California
Government Code requiring the Sanitation District to select the best qualified firm for
architectural and engineering services, and to negotiate a fair and reasonable fee with
that firm.
An RFP which outlined Consultant Scope of Work and criteria required for this project
was advertised on April 24, 2014 in the Orange County Register. Furthermore, an email
notification was sent to all engineering consultants registered in the categories of
Architecture & Engineering; Design; and Engineering — General, in the Sanitation
District vendor database. As a result, three proposals were received on June 12, 2014.
A Staff Evaluation/Screening Committee consisting of five representatives from
Engineering and Facilities Support Services Departments reviewed and ranked each of
the proposals in accordance with the evaluation process set forth in Sanitation District
Ordinance No. OCSD44, Section 3.02. A representative from the Contracts
Administration Division participated in the evaluation process as a non-voting member.
The proposals were evaluated according to the following three criteria: (1) project
understanding and approach; (2) related project experience; and (3) project team and
staff qualifications.
Page 2 d 4
After reviewing and scoring the proposals, the three Consultant firms were ranked
according to the score achieved. Pursuant to the results of the ranking, the Evaluation
Committee selected RBF Consulting as the top-ranked firm as shown in Table 1.

* Based on scores after interview
RBF Consulting was ranked highest by all four members of the Evaluation Committee
based on their understanding of the challenges of the project, a clear and efficient
approach for generating an Implementation Plan that addresses the Sanitation District's
goals, and a streamlined and highly qualified project team.
The proposals were accompanied by a sealed fee proposal estimate. The fee proposal
estimate of the highest ranked firm was not opened until the proposals were evaluated
and a top-ranked firm was selected in accordance with Sanitation District Ordinance
No. OCSD-44. Staff conducted negotiations with RBF Consulting to clarify the
requirements of the Scope of Work and their proposed work effort. During the
negotiation meeting, the project Scope of Work, level of effort, and assumptions were
discussed and clarified as required for the completion of the Scope of Work for the
project. As a result of these negotiations, RBF Consulting submitted a revised not-to-
exceed budget of$475,308.
Based on the above, staff determined the final cost proposal to be fair and reasonable
for the Scope of Work and recommends awarding the PSA to RBF Consulting for an
amount not to exceed $475,308. The final cost proposal is in line with previous
Sanitation District projects with similar engineering, environmental efforts, and schedule
durations.
CEQA
This project is categorically exempt from CEQA. A Notice of Exemption was filed on
June 4, 2014.

BUDGET/PURCHASING ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE
This complies with the authority levels in the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance.
This item has been budgeted by a Board of Directors action in June 2014 (FY2014-15,
Section 8, Page 48) and the project budget is insufficient for the recommended action.

21. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend (at
CONSULTANT'S sole cost and expense and with legal counsel approved by the
SANITATION DISTRICT, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld),
protect and hold harmless the SANITATION DISTRICT and all of SANITATION
DISTRICT'S officers, directors, employees, CONSULTANT's, and agents
(collectively the "Indemnified Parties'), from and against any and all claims,
damages, liabilities, causes of action, suits, arbitration awards, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs, and all other professional, expert
or CONSULTANT'S fees and costs and the SANITATION DISTRICT'S general
and administrative expenses; individually, a "Claim"; collectively, "Claims") which
may arise from, pertain to, or relate to any work performed, or any operations,
activities, or services provided by CONSULTANT in carrying out its obligations
under this AGREEMENT to the extent of the negligent, recklessness and/or
willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents, employees,
CONSULTANT'S suppliers, CONSULTANT, subconsultants, subcontractors,
and/or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them, regardless of any
contributing negligence or strict liability of an Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require CONSULTANT to
indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising solely from:
(A) the active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or
(B) a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or
(C)the independent action of a third party who is neither one of the Indemnified
Parties nor the CONSULTANT, nor its principal, officer, agent, employee, nor
CONSULTANT'S supplier, CONSULTANT, subconsultant, subcontractor, nor
anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
Exceptions (A)through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from
Claims arising from more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would
otherwise result in the obligation to indemnify hereunder.
CONSULTANT'S liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any
liability CONSULTANT may have to the SANITATION DISTRICT for a breach by
CONSULTANT of any of the provisions of this AGREEMENT. Under no
circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this
AGREEMENT be construed to limit CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation
or other liability hereunder. The terms of this AGREEMENT are contractual and
PSA -16- Project No. SP-178

W841.1
Return to Mende Report
the result of negotiation between the parties hereto. Accordingly, any rule of
construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California Civil Code
Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party,
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this AGREEMENT.
22. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the
duty to indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate
liability of CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code section 2782.8.
Such defense obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by
any person if, without regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could
potentially result in an obligation to indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties,
and upon written notice of such Claim being provided to CONSULTANT.
Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the payment or advance
of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition precedent to
enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In the
event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final
resolution expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or
relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the
CONSULTANT, to any extent, then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT
for the reasonable costs of defending the Indemnified Parties against such
claims.
CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this AGREEMENT until such time as action
against the Indemnified Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and
finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OUTREACH FOR NEWPORT BEACH PROGRAM
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement PSA-2013-568 with Constructive
Community Relations, providing construction outreach services for the Newport
Beach Construction Program for a total two-year period effective August 1, 2013
through July 31, 2015, for an additional $119,991, increasing the total amount not
to exceed $419,991, with three one-year renewal options, not to exceed
$150,000 per renewal year; and
B. Approve a contingency of $57,000 (10%).
SUMMARY
Beginning in July 2013, through May 2018, construction to rehabilitate the Orange
County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) regional sewers will take place in the City
of Newport Beach (City) with some construction overlapping in the neighboring City of
Costa Mesa. The Newport Beach Construction Program consists of five projects with a
total construction cost around $60 million. Staff recommends the continued use of an
outside Consultant for construction outreach services to supplement the Sanitation
District's internal outreach support. The original Agreement was competitively bid and
awarded to Constructive Community Relations (CCR) in July 2013.
Over the last 14 months, CCR has provided construction outreach services for three of
the five construction projects within the Newport Beach Program: Dover Drive Trunk
Sewer Relief (Project No. 5-63), Balboa Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation (Project No. 547),
and Newport Force Main Rehabilitation (Project No. 5-60). Services have included a
community liaison with a construction hotline available 24/7 for inquiries and complaints,
identifying target audiences and key constituents both directly and indirectly impacted
by the projects, development and distribution of collateral material, coordination of
neighborhood meetings, attending project team meetings, in addition to one-on-one
briefings with City staff, community and business stakeholders.
The Dover Drive project has experienced delays that have extended the construction
schedule, resulting in the need for more outreach efforts than originally anticipated. The
project was originally scheduled to be completed July 2014 and is now scheduled for
completion by October 2014.
The Balboa Trunk project was completed as scheduled with a successful outreach
resulting in very few phone calls of concern from the public. CCR created, printed, and
Page 1 of 3
distributed over 12 notifications to the nearby impacted residents and businesses, and
canvassed and met with business owners throughout the course of the construction.
During the time of the original Request for Proposal for this Agreement, the Newport
Force Main project was not scheduled to start until September 2014. The construction
start date has since accelerated to start critical work in July 2014. This required
construction outreach services to start earlier than anticipated. This is a $36 million
project taking place on a heavily traveled thoroughfare of Pacific Coast Highway, with
significant, unavoidable impacts to residents, businesses, tourists, and commuters.
This project will be the third project taking place in this area and the cumulative effect of
this work on the community adds to the need for a strong outreach program.
An increase in funds is needed to continue a smooth community outreach for the
Program with no gaps in service. With consideration of the construction schedule
changes and the number of projects within the Program occurring during the first two-
year period, additional funds to support the role of the Consultant is estimated at
$119,991. Adding a contingency of 10% is requested to cover costs for any additional
unanticipated changes.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
July 2013 — Awarded Professional Services Agreement, Specification No. PSA-2013-
568, to Constructive Community Relations, for a two-year period effective

one-year renewal options, not to exceed $150,000 per renewal year.

SUBJECT: REPAIRS TO RSS PUMPS AT P2, PROJECT NO. FR14-004
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Award a contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Vaughan's
Industrial Repair Company, Inc., for Repairs to RSS Pumps at P2, Project No.
FR14-004, for a total amount not to exceed $282,504; and
B. Approve a contingency of$84,800 (30%).
SUMMARY
This project performs mechanical repairs on 12 Return Secondary Sludge (RSS) Pumps
that are part of the Trickling Filter Secondary Treatment Process at Plant No. 2. The
repairs include rebuilding the pumps, repairing corrosion damage, and replacing
components so that plant water (chlorinated secondary effluent) can be used for
lubricating and cooling the pumps which avoids the need to use potable water or
reclaimed water. The estimated duration of the repair project is 400 calendar days.
One pump has failed due to corrosion of the lubrication and cooling system and is out of
service. The 11 other pumps are beginning to show similar signs of performance
problems that would eventually lead to failure. Keeping the RSS Pumps operational is
critical to meeting our permit requirements for secondary treatment standards.
A 30% contingency is proposed due to the uncertainty of the extent of damage to the
pumps which can only be known once complete disassembly and inspection is
performed. The scope of the repairs is based on the most likely type of repair for this
pump.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
RSS pumps recycle sludge from the clarifiers to the Sludge Re-aeration Reactors. The
lube/cooling systems were originally designed to use two sources of feed water for the
lube/cooling system: reclaimed water and plant water. Plant water costs significantly
less than reclaimed water. The modifications to the pumps will allow the pumps to
operate using plant water without being damaged by corrosion.

(OCSD) policies and procedures. Tharsos Inc. was deemed the lowest responsive,
responsible bidder.
The estimated duration of this project is 150 calendar days. A 20% contingency is
being proposed due to unforeseen conditions such as additional deteriorated concrete
or reinforcing bars that may be discovered during the work.
Summary information on the bid opening for Plant 2 North Scrubber Complex Bleach

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: FINAL EFFLUENT SAMPLER AND BUILDING AREA UPGRADES,
PROJECT NO. J-110
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a budget increase of $706,000 for Final Effluent Sampler and Building Area
Upgrades, Project No. J-110, for a total budget amount of$14,770,000.
SUMMARY
This project is for the rehabilitation of existing facilities at Plant No. 2 and encompasses
diverse categories of work. This project demolishes final effluent sampling and ocean
monitoring trailers and one storage building, makes subsurface improvements, and
constructs a new final effluent sampling pump station and building with a small
laboratory area. This project rehabilitates large diameter final effluent outfall pipelines
including the land section of the short-ocean outfall pipe, rehabilitates junction
structures and large valve boxes associated with the final effluent pipelines, and
rehabilitates Surge Tower No. 1. The short outfall work requires divers to install a
mechanical plug and metal plates in the outfall pipe. This project replaces two buried
natural gas pipelines, removes and replaces asphalt paving, retrofits a small storm
water pump station, replaces a bubbler system, and installs other miscellaneous items.
Staff requests additional funds for the construction contract budget. The Engineer's
Estimate for the base contract work is within the current construction budget. But, this
type of rehabilitation work historically has high change orders due to unidentified metal
or concrete failures that are not readily observed by inspections during the design.
The request is to allow for additional funds for the potential quantities of unidentified
work that are typically encountered on these types of rehabilitation projects. Based on
lessons learned from similar projects, additive bid items for potential quantities of
unidentified rehabilitation work should be included in the Contractors bid. These funds
are used to adjust actual quantities based on field measurements during construction as
determined by the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) staff.
In order to adequately fund an estimate of the unidentified work, an additional $706,000
is requested to be added to the construction contract budget. The construction contract
budget would be increased from $7,929,167 to $8,635,167 resulting in a total project
budget of$14,770,000.

N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The total estimated base construction cost is $7,890,000, which is within the current
construction budget of$7,929,167.
Staff has identified the following high likelihood risk items that should be added to the
base contract bid items. If the work found to be unnecessary, credit change orders at
bid unit rates will be processed.
Additional Plug Removal/Installation in the
Short-Outfall Pipeline. This may be needed to $180,000
place short outfall into service in high flow
event.
120-inch and 108-inch PVC Liner Repairs and
Delamination. As the Contractor removes
loose or failed liner, additional liner may be $100,000
discovered to not be adhered adequately to
the pipe.
120-inch Pipeline Corrosion Nodules Repair.
As the Contractor uses abrasive blasting
methods to remove corrosion, the size and $71,000
depth of the failed areas may become larger
as poor concrete or steel behind the obvious
failure locations is exposed.
Surge Tower Welded Steel Plate Repairs. As
the Contractor uses abrasive blasting
methods to remove corrosion, the size and $210,000
depth of the failed areas may become larger
as corroded steel behind obvious corrosion
locations is exposed.
120-inch Concrete Spalling and Defects. As
the Contractor uses tools to remove defective
concrete, the size and depth of the failed $100,000
areas may become larger as poor concrete
behind the obvious failure locations is
exposed.
120-inch Failed Joints. As the Contractor
removes failing seals from joints, mortar $45,000
replacement behind the joint may be
discovered.
TOTAL ESTIMATE $706,000

Notice of Exemption was filed on May 5, 2008.
BUDGET/PURCHASING ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE
This request for increase in the project budget complies with authority levels of the
Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. This item has been budgeted (FY2014-15
Section 8, Page 73), but the budget is insufficient for the recommended action. These
funds will be offset by reductions within the CIP Budget.

Mr. Tyner, provided a brief presentation and PowerPoint to the Committee. He
introduced Steven Center from Callen Associates, the district's investment manager.
They both responded to several questions from the Committee regarding PIMCO
including; Net fees, Composite numbers, reduction of fees, above/below benchmarks,
loss of revenue and their performance in the last two quarters.
Mr. Center assured the Committee that PIMCO as a whole is managing more money
than any other investment manager and pointed out the various differences between
PIMCO and Chandler. He was further asked if the portfolio could be split?
Discussion ensued as to the administrative challenges of a split, transaction costs,
liquidation costs; competitiveness, diversification, control over funds, and investment
policies.
The Committee asked staff for more information regarding co-management of funds, fee

SUBJECT: PAYMENT OF ANNUAL OCEAN DISCHARGE PERMIT FEE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve payment in an amount up to $579,000 to the State Water Resources Control
Board for annual permit fees for the ocean discharge permit.
SUMMARY
In order to maintain legal authority to discharge to the Pacific Ocean via the long and
short outfall systems, OCSD must pay an annual permit fee to the State Water
Resources Control Board. The California Code of Regulations Title 23, Division 3,
Chapter 9 establishes annual fee schedules for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit holders. The invoice for payment allows for less than thirty
days for payment before additional penalties are levied; however, this does not allow
enough time to have the invoice approved through the regular Committee and Board
process. In anticipation of receiving this year's invoice, staff has estimated a maximum
payment amount for this fiscal year based on last year's fee of $526,000 plus ten
percent. Increases are established by the California Legislature, and this year's fee
increase has not yet been adopted.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Purchase Order with PLC LTD, the lowest responsive and responsible
bidder, for the purchase of Modicon computer equipment, Specification No. E-2014-626,
for an amount of$636,579.
SUMMARY
Since 1994, the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD), as part of an effort to
automate and efficiently operate the treatment and collection processes, has
standardized the use of Modicon Quantum programmable logic controllers (controllers)
as an integral part of the supervisory control and data acquisition systems. These
controllers are used throughout the facilities to control and monitor treatment systems,
pumps, valves and process equipment within the treatment plants and outlying pump
stations. Approximately 180 controller modules are installed throughout the facilities.
Schneider Electric, the parent company of the Modicon Quantum line of controllers, has
recently announced an end of life date for these controllers, tentatively scheduled for
mid-2015. Given the criticality of these controllers and the large quantities of software
developed on these controllers for all the CIP projects over the last eighteen years, staff
will increase the current warehouse inventory by purchasing additional Modicon
Quantum controllers to stock and serve as replacements to ensure reliability of the
treatment processes are always running. The controllers will also be used for Project
No. P2-92-Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control at Plant 2.
Staff has started the process of researching and developing standards and a several
year migration path forward to service and replace these controllers with newer models.
Two types of components are impacted by the recently announced end of life date by
Schneider Electric, the programmable logic controller and associated hot stand by
module.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
September - 1994: All Districts approved the acquisition and use of standardized
Programmable Logic Computers manufactured by Modicon, for use throughout the
treatment plant and collection system facilities for computerized automation.

SUBJECT: REVENUE REFUNDING CERTIFICATE ANTICIPATION NOTES, SERIES
2014B
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 14-12 entitled, "A Resolution of the Orange County
Sanitation District authorizing the execution and delivery by the District of an
Installment Purchase Agreement, a Trust Agreement and a Continuing
Disclosure Agreement in connection with the execution and delivery of Orange
County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes,
Series 2014B, authorizing the execution and delivery of such notes evidencing
principal in an aggregate amount of not to exceed $135,000,000, 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
Notes 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 Notes in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $135,000,000.
SUMMARY
In March 2006, the Sanitation District issued $200 million of variable rate Certificates of
Participation (COP), Series 2006 (2006 COPs). Alternatively, the Sanitation District
could have issued debt at an estimated cost of 4.54% on a fixed rate basis in 2006.
From inception through August 2008, the average variable rate on the 2006 COPs was
2.95% or 0.22% less than the SIFMA index (weekly market index of tax-exempt variable
rate obligations). As the global financial crisis took hold in the late summer of 2008,
there was a significant increase in the variable rate borrowing cost of the Sanitation
District, including all municipal borrowers, as the 2006 COPS averaged 4.29% (or 1.56%
above the SIFMA index) for the period between September 2008 and December 2008.
The amount of the increase in variable rate cost above the SIFMA index can be
attributed to the weakened financial strength of the bank, DEPFA Bank plc, that was
providing liquidity support on the 2006 COPs.
In December 2008, the Sanitation District proactively refunded the 2006 COPS with the
Refunding COP Series 2008C Certificate Anticipation Notes (2008C CANs)to reduce its
Page 1 of 5
exposure to then higher and more volatile variable rate costs. The yield on the 2008C
CANS was 0.98% for a one-year period. The issuance of the 2008C CANS allowed the
Sanitation District to redeem the 2006 COPS at an all-in cost of less than 1.25% and
avoid paying a bank rate of 4.75% which would have been effective starting a month
later. Since the 2008C CANS issuance, the Sanitation District completed five additional
one-year refinancings with progressively lower yields as summarized below:
ones Princi al Arno Id All-In Co
2009E $ 165,865,000 0.370% 0.559%
2010B 154,665,000 0.360 0.525
20116 143,205,000 0.225 0.399
2012C 131,700,000 0.210 0.410
2013A 129,625,000 0.170 0.390
The interest rate on the currently outstanding Revenue Refunding Certificate
Anticipation Notes Series 2013A (2013A CANS) was fixed for only one year and the
entire $129.625 million plus interest becomes due and payable on October 16, 2014.
The purpose of the proposed financing is to refund all of the 2013A CANS to avoid the
use of the Sanitation District's cash reserves to make repayment. The financing is
structured as new two-year fixed rate maturity that will be sold in a competitive sale.
The two-year maturity of the refunding CANS is a departure from past Sanitation District
practice of issuing one-year CANS over the past six years. The reason for considering
two-year CANS is that the difference in cost between a one-year and two-year maturity
has narrowed compared to past years. Last year, when the Sanitation District was
considering the refinancing options for the Series 2012C CANS, the difference in all-in-
costs between one-year CANs and two-year CANs was approximately 0.33% (33 basis
points). This year, the recent cost differential (subject to changing market conditions)
between a one-year CANs and two-year CANS is only five basis points. A two-year
CANS issuance will allow the Sanitation District to lock-in a fixed rate for two years at a
cost that is only slightly greater than a one-year CANs. However, if market conditions
change and the difference in costs between a one-year CANS and a two-year CANs
become greater, the Board may want to consider reverting back to issuing one-year
CANS.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
June 2014 —The Board adopted Resolution No. OCSD 14-08, 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 2014A, authorizing the execution and delivery of such
Revenue Obligations, evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to exceed
$225,000,000, 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
Page 2 of 5
sale of such Revenue Obligations and authorizing the execution of other necessary
documents and related actions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District currently has eleven series of debt issuances outstanding in the
par amount of $1.207 billion. The following table lists each issuance, the outstanding
amount, and the interest rate mode.

(5) Refunded a portion of Series 2003
(6) New money debt issue
(7) Series 2008B refunded the Series 1993 Synthetic Variable-to-Fixed Rate Debt issue that
was supported by a failing insurance provider. The Series 1993 refunded the Series 1986
and a portion of the Series"B"COPs.
Due to the fact that this 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.
All costs involved with the refunding, including costs for Public Resources Advisory
Group (Financial Advisor) and Fulbright & Jaworski LLP (Special Counsel and
Disclosure Counsel)will be paid from the proceeds of the new refunding issue.
Legal Authorization and Approvals
The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation will each be required to adopt
separate Resolutions to complete this refunding. Drafts of these two Resolutions are
attached for review. A Financing Corporation is required by the structure of the Notes
Page 3 of 5
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.
The OCSD Resolution authorizations the execution and delivery of certain legal
documents and the execution and delivery of Revenue Refunding Certificate
Anticipation Notes, Series 2014B, evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to
exceed $135,000,000 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 AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION
WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION

THE DISTRIBUTION OF AN OFFICIAL NOTICE INVITING BIDS AND AN OFFICIAL
STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING AND SALE OF SUCH NOTES
AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF OTHER 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

Following is a chart listing the remaining steps to be completed for the issuance of the
Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2014B debt issuance:
➢ Board approval of legal and disclosure documents
➢ Financing Corporation approval of legal and disclosure

thereunder, adversely affect the exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of interest on the Notes

to the final cancellation of the last of the Notes 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 Notes not been relevant to
either party.

or the Notes are or will become"hedge bonds"within the meaning of section 149(g)of the Code.

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 Notes other than for
refunding purposes, (ii)(A) the District will not deliver the Notes unless on the date of the
40900505.3 21

proceeds of the Notes be invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed

Certificate"), which representations and covenants are incorporated as though expressly set forth
herein.

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

principal amount of Outstanding Notes and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction,
shall, or any Owner or Beneficial Owner of Notes may take such actions as may be necessary

court order. The Trustee is authorized and directed to execute the acceptance and
acknowledgement of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.

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

require such additional evidence as it deems reasonable.

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

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

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
40900505.3 28
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 Notes 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 Notes 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.

is intended to refer to the corresponding interest in the Installment Purchase Agreement. 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 Payment

remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, and (i)other lawfully available funds of
the District, as further described in "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES"
herein.
The Notes are to be executed and delivered pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of October 1,
2014(the"Trust Agreement'),by and among the District,the Corporation and MUFG Union Bank,N.A.,

"BOOK—ENTRY SYSTEM"herein.
The District
The 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 of Orange (the "County"), in a service area of approximately 479 square
miles, treating an average of 199 million gallons per day ("mg/d") of wastewater in Fiscal Year 2013-14.
See"THE DISTRICT,""DISTRICT REVENUES"and"FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS"herein.
Security and Sources of Payment for the Notes
The Notes, which are certificates of participation, evidence direct, fractional undivided interests
in the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment
Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment 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, from Net Revenues, and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided in the
Installment 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 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.
The District expects the principal of the Notes to be paid from proceeds of the sale,on or prior to
the Maturity Date, of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the
District. The sale and delivery of a future series of certificates of participation,notes or other obligations
of the District will depend on market conditions, certain approvals by the District and the Corporation and
other factors. See"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES—Sale Proceeds of
Future Obligations."
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. The District currently has
Outstanding Senior Obligations payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the Installment Payment
under the Installment Purchase Agreement. See "FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS — Existing
Indebtedness" and "THE DISTRICT" herein and APPENDIX C — "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL
LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Master Agreement' attached hereto. The District has no Subordinate
Obligations currently outstanding.
46648528.4 2
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will,to the extent permitted by law, 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
SOURCE OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES—Rate Covenant"herein.
The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment 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,
from Net Revenues and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided for in the
Installment Purchase Agreement, and does not constitute a debt of the District or of the State, or of
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 or the State or any
political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Installment Payment, 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 pursuant to the Master Agreement. See "SECURITY AND
SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES"herein.
Continuing Disclosure
The District has covenanted for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the Notes (a)to
provide certain financial information and operating data(the"Annual Report")relating to the District and
the property in the District not later than eight months after the end of the District's Fiscal Year (which
currently would be Much 1), commencing with the report for the 2013-14 Fiscal Year, and(b)to provide
notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events. The specific nature of the information to be

PLAN OF FINANCE
A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with other available moneys,
will be used to pay at maturity the installment payment (the "Funded Installment Payment") to be made
by the District in connection with the Prior Notes. Under the terms of the Trust Agreement, dated as of
October 1, 2013 (the "Prior Trust Agreement"), pursuant to which the Prior Notes were executed and
delivered, the payment of the Prior Notes will be effected by depositing a portion of the proceeds of the
Notes into the Installment Payment Fund established under the Prior Trust Agreement (the `Payment
Fund"). Such moneys will be in an amount sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on the
Funded Installment Payment through and including October 16, 2014 (the `Payment Date") and to
provide for the payment of the principal represented by the Funded Installment Payment In accordance
with the Prior Trust Agreement, the Funded Installment Payment will be applied to the payment of
interest with respect to the outstanding Prior Notes and to the payment of the principal of the outstanding
Prior Notes on the maturity date thereof.
The amounts deposited in the Payment Fund will be held in trust solely for the Prior Notes and
will not be available to pay the principal and interest evidenced by the Notes or any obligations other than
the Prior Notes.

THE NOTES
General
The Notes will be prepared in the form of fully registered certificates in Authorized
Denominations of$5,000 and any integral multiple thereof The Notes will be dated the date of initial
delivery thereof and will mature on [November 15, 2016] (the "Maturity Date"). Interest evidenced by
the Notes will accrue from their date of initial delivery and will be payable semiannually on each May 15
and November 15, commencing May 15, 2015, through and including the Maturity Date (each, an
"Interest Payment Date"). Each Note shall evidence interest from the Interest Payment Date next
preceding its date of execution to which interest has been paid in full,unless such date of execution shall
be after a Record Date and on or prior to the following Interest Payment Date, in which case such Note
shall evidence interest from such Interest Payment Date, or unless such date of execution shall be on or
prior to May 1, 2015, in which case such Note shall represent interest from its date of initial delivery.
Notwithstanding, the foregoing, if, as shown by the records of the Trustee, interest evidenced by the
Notes shall be in default, each Note shall evidence interest from the last Interest Payment Date to which
such interest has been paid in full or duly provided for. Interest evidenced by the Notes shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. See APPENDIX C —
"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Trust Agreement"
The Notes initially will be delivered only in book-entry form and will be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company,New York, New York("DTC"),which will
act as securities depository for the Notes. Individual purchases of the Notes will be made in book-entry
form only. Purchasers of Notes will not receive physical certificates representing their ownership
interests in the Notes purchased. Payments of principal and interest evidenced by the Notes are payable
directly to DTC by MUFG Union Bank,N.A.,as trustee. Upon receipt of payments of such principal and
interest, DTC will in turn distribute such payments to the beneficial owners of the Notes. So long as the
Notes are held in the DTC book-entry system,the interest and principal due with respect to the Notes will
be payable by the Trustee, or its agent, to DTC or its nominee. DTC, in turn, will make payments
pursuant to its procedures as described under APPENDIX E—"BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM"herein.
Prepayment Provisions
Optional Prepayment. [The Notes are subject to optional prepayment prior to the Maturity Date,
on any date on or after November 1,2016,in whole or in par,in Authorized Denominations, from and to
the extent of prepayment of the Installment Payment paid pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement
or from any other source of available funds, any such prepayment to be at a price equal to the principal
evidenced by the Notes to be prepaid, plus accrued interest evidenced thereby to the date fixed for
prepayment,without premium.]
Selection of Notes for Prepayment. Whenever less than all the Outstanding Notes are to be
prepaid on any one date in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall select the Notes 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 Notes so selected
for prepayment on such date. For purposes of such selection, any Note may be prepaid in part in
Authorized Denominations.
Notice of Prepayment When prepayment of Notes is authorized pursuant to the Trust
Agreement, the Trustee shall give notice, at the expense of the District, of the prepayment of the Notes.
The notice of prepayment shall specify (a)the Notes or designated portions thereof (in the case of
prepayment of the Notes in part but not in whole) which are to be prepaid, (b)the date of prepayment,
(c)the place or places where the prepayment will be made,including the time and address of any paying
46648528.4 5
agem, (d)the prepayment price and (e)the CUSIP numbers assigned to the Notes to be prepaid. Such
notice of prepayment shall further state that on the specified date there shall become due and payable
upon each Note 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 Notes, unless at the time such notice is given the Notes to be prepaid shall be deemed to
have been paid within the meaning of the Trust Agreement,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 Notes 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 Notes. In the event a notice of prepayment of Notes contains such a condition and such
moneys we not so received,the prepayment of Notes 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 Notes pursuant to such
notice of prepayment.
The Trustee shall,at least 20 but not more than 60 days prior to any prepayment date, give notice
of prepayment to the respective Owners of Notes 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 Notes or the cessation of interest evidenced
thereby on the date fixed for prepayment.
Effect of prepayment If notice of prepayment has been duly given as aforesaid and moneys for
the payment of the prepayment price of the Notes to be prepaid are held by the Trustee, then on the
prepayment date designated in such notice, the Notes 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 Notes so called for prepayment shall cease to accrue, such Notes 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 Notes to be prepaid, pay such Notes at the prepayment price
thereof, and such moneys shall be pledged to such payment.
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES
Sale Proceeds of Future Obligations
The District expects the principal of the Notes to be paid from proceeds of the sale, on or prior to
the Maturity Date, of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the
District,that will amortize over a term of approximately 21 years(the"Future Obligations").
The issuance of the Future Obligations will require future authorizations by the governing boards
of the District and the Corporation, as well as the preparation of suitable legal and disclosure documents
for the issue. The District is currently unaware of any material impediment to obtaining such
authorizations and documents. In addition, the issuance and sale of the Future Obligations will be
contingent on the District's ability to access the municipal capital markets, which will depend on the
District's creditworthiness and market conditions during the weeks immediately preceding the Maturity
Date. The District is unable to predict such matters with certainty and therefore cannot guarantee that the
Future Obligations will be successfully issued and sold.
46648528.4 6
Installment Payment
The Notes evidence direct, fractional undivided interests in the Installment Payment, and the
interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement. The obligation of
the District to pay the Installment Payment 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, from Net Revenues and other lawfully
available funds of the District, as provided in the Installment 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 See"DISTRICT REVENUES"herein.
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District has established and declared the conditions and
terms upon which obligations such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, and the Installment Payment
and the interest thereon payable under the Installment Purchase Agreement, will be incurred and secured.
The obligation of the District to make the Installment Payment, and payments of interest thereon, and
other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues,
and other lawfully available funds of the District,is absolute and unconditional,and until such time as the
Installment Payment, 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 Payment
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 Payment, 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 the Installment
Payment 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 Notes substantially all of its
rights, title and interest in and to the Installment Purchase Agreement, including its right to receive the
Installment Payment and the interest thereon.
The District has certain Existing Senior Obligations Outstanding payable from Net Revenues on a
parity with the Installment Payment 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 Payment 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.
The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment, 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, from Net Revenues and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided for in the
Installment Purchase Agreement, and does not constitute a debt of the District, the State or of 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
46648528.4 7
subdivision thereof,is pledged to the payment of the Installment Payment,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 pursuant to the Master Agreement. See"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR
THE NOTES"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, 2014, the District's
Debt Service Required Reserves totaled $132 million(estimated), of which $[53.1] 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, 2012 and June 30, 2013 were approximately
$608 million and$651 million, respectively. See"DISTRICT REVENUES—Reserves,'-- Summary
of Operating Data"and" Projected Operating Data."
Net Revenues
The District is obligated to make the Installment Payment from, among other things, Net
Revenues as provided in the Master Agreement, which consist of Revenues remaining after payment of
costs paid by the District for maintaining and operating the Wastewater System ("Maintenance and
Operation Costs"). Revenues are defined in the Master Agreement to mean, for any period, all income
and revenue received by the District during such period from the operation or ownership of the
Wastewater System, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including
all fees and charges received during such period for the services of the Wastewater System, investment
income received during such period (but only to the extent that such investment income is generally
available to pay costs with respect to the Wastewater System, including Maintenance and Operation
Costs), Net Proceeds of business interruption insurance received during such period, ad valorem taxes
received during such period, payments under the Agreement Acquiring Ownership Interests, Assigning
Rights and Establishing Obligations, entered into on February 13, 1986, and amendment No. I thereto
dated December 10, 1986 (the "IRWD Agreement"), by and between predecessor County Sanitation
District No. 14 of Orange County and the Irvine Ranch Water District(the"IRWD")received during such
period and all other 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 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 m 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 are 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.
46648528.4 8
The District's obligation to make the Installment Payment 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 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, 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 Payment 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 are 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.
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
46648528.4 9
as the District deems necessary or appropriate, be transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account and
deposited in the Revenue Account,as described above under'—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 Notes me 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 are 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 funds may be legally applied. For additional information, see APPENDIX C —
"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Master Agreement."
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
the Revenues anticipated to be derived in such Fiscal Year and the expenditures anticipated to be paid or
provided for therefrom in such Fiscal Year, including, without limitation, the amounts required to pay or
provide for the payment of the Obligations during such Fiscal Year, the amounts required to pay or
provide for the payment of Maintenance and Operations Costs during such Fiscal Year and the amounts
required to pay or provide for the payment of all other claims or obligations required to be paid from
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 Year, 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.
46648528.4 10
The District bas an established reserve policy with eight separate reserve fund categories. Over
the next ten years,the year ending reserve total for each year is projected not to fall below$500 million as
indicated in the District's ten-year cash flow forecast for fiscal years 2013-14 through 2022-23. At its
election,the District may use unrestricted reserves to help satisfy the rate covenant described above. See
"DISTRICT REVENUES Reserves"herein.

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 199 mg/d of wastewater in Fiscal
Year 2013-14. 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 the Resolution 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.
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
46648528.4 15
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 21 cities,unincorporated
areas of the County and three special districts, including mayors of cities, members of city councils,
directors of independent special districts and one member from the County Board. 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 the majority of the Board of Directors.
The District has a general manager, outside general counsel, and administrative and operating
staff, with offices located at Reclamation Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley, California. The District
currently employs an administrative and operating staff of approximately 600 under the direction of its
General Manager,James Heiberg.

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.

Employees
As of June 30, 2014, the District had a total of 584 employees. The majority of District
employees are represented by recognized employee organizations, which include the following: the
Orange County Employees Association("OCEA"),representing administrative/clerical,technical services
and engineering employees since 1979, the International Union of Operating Engineers — Local 501
("Local 501"), representing operations and maintenance employees since October 1985, and the
Supervisory and Professional Management Group ("SPMT"), representing employees within the
Supervisor Group and Professional Group since 1991. The total number of represented employees as of
June 30, 2014 was 545, and is broken down as follows: 99 employees represented by OCEA, 196
employees represented by Local 501, and 250 employees represented by the SPMT. The contractual
agreements between District and the Supervisor Group and Professional Group were renegotiated in 2010
and expired on June 30, 2013. The District is continuing to bargain with the Supervisor Group and
46648528.4 18
Professional Group to reach agreement. The contractual agreements between OCEA and District and the
Local 501 and District were renegotiated in 20I1 and expired on June 30,2014. The terms of the existing
contractual agreements will continue until renegotiation of the arrangements between the District and
OCEA and Local 501,respectively, are completed. Historically, the District has experienced positive and
collaborative working relationships with each organization and has not endured any work stoppages since
the early 1980s.
Retirement Plan
The District participates in the Orange County Employees Retirement System ("OCERS'), a
cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, which is governed and administered by a
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-detemuned 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, 201 L 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 percentage of covered employees' base salary towards the employee's contribution
to OCERS for members of Plans G and H. Members of Plans U and B do not receive any contributions
toward employee's contribution to OCERS.

For Fiscal Years 2007-08 through 2012-13, the District's required contribution was equal to the
contribution that the District actually made. As noted, the required contribution set forth above includes
amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability ("UAAL"). For the Fiscal Year ended June 30,
2013, total payroll costs of employees covered by OCERS was $59,966,096. As of the December 31,
2012 valuation, OCERS has an aggregate UAAL ratio of 62.52%, for a total UAAL on an actuarial basis
of$5.68 billion.
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$421,650 in ARBA benefits during Fiscal Year 2012-13. Effective August 1, 2011, ARBA
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, 2013,
see Note 6 to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013 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.
46648528.4 20
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 is $755,078 for Fiscal Year 2013-14. 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 inswance, 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, 2013 that would materially affect the financial position of the
District.
For more information regarding the District's insurance coverage as of June 30, 2013, see Note 1
to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year
Ended June 30,2013 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
46648528.4 21
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 fora 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 an Orange County Water District (the "OCWD") plant 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
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, Public Law 92-500 (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
46648528.4 22
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 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 on 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 is separate and apart from the permit waiver
received under Section 301(h), and once awarded would negate the need for a waiver. Achieving
secondary treatment standards was originally projected to take nine years to complete, with completion
expected in December 2012. Because ocean discharge permits are issued for only five years, and the
EPA has no authority to waive the discharge limit requirements or grant a longer permit (except in
accordance with Section 301(h)), the District decided to voluntarily seek a consent decree concurrently
with the issuance of the new ocean discharge permit. This negotiated consent decree (the "Consent
Decree") approves the schedule and decrees that no penalties will be imposed for discharges that exceed
the secondary treatment limits during the period of construction. The Consent Decree was signed by the
District, the EPA and the RWQCB and filed with the U.S. District Court on November 15, 2004. The
District is in compliance with the Consent Decree, having completed all of the improvements on time by
the deadline of December 2012.
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
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. The State's Air Toxic Hot Spots Act, for example, requires facilities to
conduct health risk assessments and notify the neighboring communities if the health risk exceeds the
regulatory thresholds.
46648528.4 23
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. The Strategic Plan has
been updated annually to continue looking at a five-year horizon(each,a"Five-Year Strategic Plan"). See
"THE DISTRICT—Five-Year 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 Five-Year 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 =natty 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 2033-34,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;
• Replace and rehabilitate nine of the District's outlying pumping stations, and 27 trunk
sewer improvement projects;and
• Reduce fence line odor to levels that minimize odor complaints.
The 2014 CIP Validation Study resulted in revisions to the CIP. The CIP currently consists of
115 individual capital projects through Fiscal Yew 2033-34 with remaining outlays of$1.9 billion. Over
46648528.4 24
the next five years,the CIP contemplates average annual capital expenditures of$141.7 million based on
the 2014 CIP Validation Study. Implementation of fill secondary treatment standards was completed in
December,2012. Set forth in Table 5 below is a summary of total estimated capital costs for the CIP for
Fiscal Years 2014-15 through 2033-34.

The CIP included budgeted expenditures of$169.2 million in Fiscal Year 2014-15. There are
currently 37 projects in the construction phase with proposed capital outlay spending in 2014-15. 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 2014-15 expenditures of
$61.1 million and$20.4 million respectively.
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 ("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 2013, GWRS
produced approximately 72,000 acre-feet. The Phase II expansion broke ground in January 2012 to add
approximately 33,000 acre-feet per year. The District expects the Phase 11 expansion to be completed in
the first quarter of 2015. The Phase II expansion and all future phases will be funded solely by OCWD.
The District has committed 168,000 acre-feet per year of secondary effluent to these future expanded
operations. The District and OCWD amended their 2001 agreement in 2010 to provide OCWD with the
first right of refusal of secondary treated water flows from the District's Fountain Valley-based Plant No.
I for these future phases; however, no capital funding is anticipated or dedicated from the District for
these future expansion phases.
OCWD and the District have agreed to share equally in the cost of the Joint GWRS
Microfltmtion Backwash Redirection Project which will increase the quantity of water available during
the early morning hours when the flows me low. This project will save the District operational costs in
the form of reduced primary treatment chemical usage.
46648528.4 25
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. See "THE DISTRICT — Permits, Licenses and Other Regulations." On
July 20, 2012, the District received a new NPDES permit, that reflects the full secondary treatment
requirements.
Biosolids Management
Through the treatment of wastewater,the District recovers and treats nutrient-rich, organic matter
(solids) to produce biosolids. Biosolids can be recycled through composting or fertilizing non-food farm
fields(land application)or 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 the stringent federal, State and local regulatory requirements.
The District's biosolids averaged about 765 tons per day("tpd") in Fiscal Year 2013-14,with an
average cost per ton of$62.17 in July 2014 for managing at offsite locations, as described in the table
below. These biosolids management costs totaled about $17.4 million last fiscal year. Anticipated
increases in biosolids production in Fiscal Years 2014-16 increased the budget to about $18.32 million
(5.3%). In these fiscal years,the District's biosolids tonnage will peak at about 785 tpd until the following
new facilities come online to reduce biosolids costs by about one-third.
• Irvine Ranch Water District is constructing solids processing facilities and will stop
sending their solids to the District in 2016.
• Plant No. 1 centrifuges are currently under construction and anticipated to start creating
drier solids and reducing hauling costs by mid-2017.
• Plant No.2 centrifuges will begin operating by early 2019.
In the next few years, the District also will be implementing several significant construction,
maintenance and rehabilitation projects affecting the solids treatment portions of both plants. These
projects, along with the start-up of the next phase of GWRS(Ground Water Replenishment System),may
increase the biosolids hauling budget as the treatment process becomes more complex.

The District's contractors provide back-up biosolids management capacity in California and
Arizona that include composting, 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.
The District anticipates issuing a request for proposals ("RFP') in 2016 in advance of the
Synagro contract renewal. In Fall 2013, the Board of Directors adopted a new Five-Year Strategic Plan
that included studying biosolids management options in order to make recommendations for a potentially
longer-term management option RFP in 2018.
In 2003, the District was the first agency in the nation to be certified by the National Biosolids
Partnership for its biosolids program. Certification requires regular third-party audits and a robust internal
management system based on the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard. The District
is committed to a diverse biosolids program to help ensure a sustainable, reliable, and economical
program.
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. O1-07, adopted March 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 ("MGD') calculated on a monthly average. For the first 12 years of the
Urban Runoff Program, the average monthly flow averages remained less than the 4 MGD threshold thus
avoiding user fee costs being assessed to the diversion petmittees. 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 four MGD fee threshold. On Jane 12, 2013, the Board adopted Resolution No.
13-09 expanding the waiver of fees or charges on the treatment of dry weather urban runoff from four
MGD to ten MGD. According to the Board, 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 our
beaches open.
There are currently 19 active urban runoff diversion structures, four owned and operated by the
County, 11 owned and operated by the City of Huntington Beach, one owned and operated by the City of
Newport Beach, two owned and operated by the IRWD, and one owned and operated by The Irvine
Company. The Dry Weather Urban Runoff Program is administered by the 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 for the various regulated constituents.
Since 1999, the District has treated a total of 7.5 billion gallons of dry-weather urban runoff that
would otherwise have been discharged into the ocean with no treatment. From January 1, 2013 through
December 31, 2013, the daily average urban runoff flow ranged between 0.59 and 1.72 MGD with a
cumulative total diversion of 408 million gallons for this period. At the existing operations and
maintenance cost of$1,582 per million gallons (2012-13 rate), the District's cost for treating the urban
runoff discharge for this period is estimated at$646,143.
46648528.4 27
Due to increasingly strict receiving water quality standards, the District is receiving requests to
accept additional urban runoff discharges. Five additional urban runoff diversions have been proposed to
deal with bacteria and selenium loading to the Newport Back Bay Watershed: Peters Canyon in the City
of Irvine, Big Canyon Wash in the City of Newport Beach, and the Delhi, Santa Fe, and Lane flood
control channels in the City of Santa Ana. Peters Canyon Wash,which collects selenium from selenium-
laden shallow groundwater, is the biggest contributor of selenium in the San Diego Creek watershed in
dry weather. The proposed urban runoff flows will result in average monthly flows of 4-6 MGD.
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
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 are 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.
46648528.4 28
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 Strategic Plan envisions an organizational culture that adheres to the District's core values
and makes efficient and effective use of all available resources. Over the past six years, the District
completed thirty-eight strategic goals and made strides to improve technical operations, biosolids
management, odor control,and regulatory compliance. Through a newly developed 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.
As a result of two Strategic Planning workshops, individual Board of Director's interviews,
employee and management focus groups,the following eight new strategic goals were identified:
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.
T 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.
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
46648528.4 29
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
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." In May 2002, the Board of Directors adopted District Ordinance No. OCSD 18 (the"2002
Ordinance") which became effective on July 1, 2002. The 2002 Ordinance included a single family
residential ("SFR") rate increase, the underlying basis for all sanitary sewer service charges including
sanitary sewer rates for multi-family residential units as well as most commercial and industrial
properties, of $7.50 per year, or 9.4%, to $87.50 per year. In Jane 2003, the Board of Directors
authorized a Proposition 218 notice on proposed"not to exceed"rate increases for each year over the next
five years.
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 NOTES—Rate Covenant'herein.
Residential and Commercial Sewer Service Charges. Pursuant to the 2002 Ordinance, 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 2002 Ordinance considered increases in the amount of the annual charges of
approximately 20% per year for each of the then following five years. In May 2005, the Board of
Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06 single family residential
rate, the underlying basis for all sewer service charges, by 31%, from $115.00 to $151.00 for all
ratepayers, except those located in Revenue Area No. 14. In Jane 2007, the Board of Directors adopted
Ordinance No. OCSD-32 increasing the Fiscal Year 2007-08 single family residential rate by 9.8%.
On February 27, 2008, the Board of Directors approved increases in its sanitary sewer service
charges for all single family and multi-family residential units, and for all commercial 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 10.4% for Fiscal Yen 2008-09, 10.0% for Fiscal Year 2009-10, 10.4% for
Fiscal Yen 2010-11, 9.4% for Fiscal Year 2011-12 and 10.1% for Fiscal Year 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 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 annual
increase of 2.40%for each Fiscal Year through Fiscal Yen 2017-18.

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. Pursuant to the 2002 Ordinance, rates for each component factor were revised for certain
industrial users in order to be consistent with the rates charged to residential users. Total industrial Sewer
Service Charges in Fiscal Year 2012-13 were approximately $11 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 2030-31, the cash flow needs of the CIP total approximately $1.9 billion.
Over the next five years the CIP contemplates average annual capital expenditures of$141.7 million. In
addition, the CIP contemplates $286 million, or an annual average of$57 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 Tares. 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$64.8
million in Fiscal Year 2009-10, $64.3 million in Fiscal Year 2010-11, $67.9 million in Fiscal Year 2011-
12, $77.3 million in Fiscal Year 2012-13, and are estimated to be 74.0 million in Fiscal Year 2013-14.
Because of one-time redevelopment dissolution property tax proceeds received in Fiscal Year 2012-13,
the District currently estimates that its property tax receipts will decrease slightly in Fiscal Year 2013-14,
but increase by approximately 5.0% each year thereafter through Fiscal Year 2018-19. 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 $3,341 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, effecfive 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.
46648528.4 32
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 has 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 early 1970s. The agreements establish control mechanisms
regrading 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$4.5 million to$5.3 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.
For the 2010A Revenue Obligations and the 2010C Revenue Obligations to be and remain Build
America Bonds, the District most 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 known as the sequester. As a result of the sequester, federal subsidy payments for the
2010A Revenue Obligations were reduced by 8.7% (or $67,874) and federal subsidy payments for the
2010C Revenue Obligations were reduced by 8.7% (or $152,807) for the federal fiscal yens ending
September 30, 2013. According to the Internal Revenue Service, subsidy payments will be reduced by
7.2% for the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. The District is obligated to make all
payments with respect to the 2010A Revenue Obligations and the 2010C Revenue Obligations,however,
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 20I0C Revenue Obligations.
Wastewater Treatment History
The wastewater flows for Fiscal Year 2008-09 through Fiscal Year 2013-14 were 211 mg/d, 196
mg/d, 207 mg/d,201 mg/d, 200 mg/d and 199 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.

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 yen 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. In recent
years, the County has experienced delinquencies of Sewer Service Charges in the District of
approximately 2.0%.

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 accmal 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 year.
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.
46648528.4 37
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 year of the current
ten-year cash flow forecast.
Set forth in Table 13 below are the actual reserves at June 30, 2011, June 30, 2012 and June 30,
2013, and estimated reserves at June 30,2014 for each fund.

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 year.
• 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
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.
46648528.4 38
• 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 Fund
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 100/. 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 Year 2010-11 through Fiscal Year 2013-14.
• 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 2014-
15 through 2018-19. These projections assume the number of projects and scheduled build out set forth
in the 2014 CIP Validation Study, and reflect the Board-approved rate increase of 2.6% in Fiscal Year
2014-15, and the average annual rate increases of 2.4% over the following three fiscal years. Principal
expenditure components of these projections are derived from the 2014 CIP Validation Study, which
identified 77 large capital projects and 38 special projects with a 20-year projected outlay of$1.9 billion.
Much of the construction is scheduled during the next five years, with average annual capital outlays of
$141.7 million. The District's projected CIP cash flow outlay for Fiscal Year 2013-14 was approximately
$92.7 million. The District's CIP cash flow budget for Fiscal Year 2014-15 is $169.2 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 2014-15 total operating, capital improvement, debt service, and other
financing requirement budget is $554.4 million, a 39.6% increase over the prior year budget of$397.0
million. This overall increase is primarily attributable to a one-time reduction of$125 million in long-
term liabilities. This one-time reduction is the result of some of the 2013-14 CIP program being spread
out into future years and the receipt of unexpected one-time revenues in Fiscal Year 2013-14. This $125
million one-time reduction will consist of a pay-down of a portion of the $200 million current unfunded
seemed actuarial pension liability. Excluding this one-time reduction, the total proposed cash flow
budget for Fiscal Year 2014-15 totals $429 million, an 8.2% increase over the prior year. This overall
increase consists of an increase in capital outlay of$41.5 million or 28.2%, a decrease in debt service
requirements of$12.4 million or 12.6%,and an increase in operating expenses of$3.2 million or 2.1%.
The Fiscal Year 2014-15 proposed budget to operate, maintain and manage am sewage
collection, treatment and disposal system is $152.5 million, an increase of 2.1% over the prior year
budget. Personnel costs have increased by$1.2 million,or 1.2%, due to the retirement of many long-term
employees, as there were 23 retirees in Fiscal Year 2013-14 and 17 retirees in Fiscal Year 2012-13. As of
March 31, 2014,there were 44 vacant positions,or 7.0%of total staffing, and staffing levels are proposed
to remain unchanged from the current full-time equivalent("FTE')positions of 626.0.
Repairs and maintenance costs are proposed to increase $1.8 million or 15.8%. This increase is
mostly attributable to increases in basic repairs and maintenance costs including the scheduling of
digester cleanings totaling$1.0 million and one central generation engine overhaul totaling$893,000.The
biosolids hauling budget was raised $0.92 million, or 5.3%, due to a slight increase in unit cost and the
anticipated increase in biosolids production that is projected to peak at about 785 tons per day, up from
the prior fiscal year average of 765 tons per day,because of several projects that could reduce operational
performance.
Overhead cost allocation out to the CIP has been reduced by$1.5 million, or 8.1%reduction due
to decreased CIP outlay over the past several years.
Conversely affecting these operating increases,chemical supplies have decreased$1.0 million,or
6.8%, as a result of the decrease disinfection, odor control, and chemicals used in the treatment process
due to chemical optimization and decreased disinfection requirements. In addition,property and liability
insurance premiums are proposed to decrease $900,000, or 64.3%, due to favorable market conditions on
premiums for insurance renewals.
In preparation of the Fiscal Year 2014-16 biennium budget,District staff developed and reviewed
with the Board of Directors a capital improvement program to deliver the levels of service included in the
District's five-year strategic plan. These levels of services and associated capital projects are included in
the District's Five-Year Strategic Plan. 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 2014-15 CIP cash flow budget was
approved at $169.2 million. The 2014 validated CIP includes 77 large capital projects and 38 special
projects with 20-year outlays totaling$1.9 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 Five-Year Plan, the Board 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 reaffimration in any of the future fiscal years covered by this five-year period. This
action increased the single family residence user rate, the basis for all sewer user fee rates, from $308 in
46648528.4 43
Fiscal Year 2013-14 to $316 in Fiscal Year 2014-15. 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 June 30, 2014, the District's externally managed fund consisted of a short-term investment
portfolio of$85.9 million with an average maturity of 77 days, and a long-tern investment portfolio of
$506.2 million with average maturities of 3.0 years. Investments consist of United States government
securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper. The District's portfolio contains no structured
investment vehicles("SIVs")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 funds 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 funds. The primary objectives, in order, of the District's investment activities are
safety, liquidity and return on investment.

Anticipated Financings
From time to time the District may incur other obligations to finance portions of the CIP. Over
the next ten 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 2013A
Certificates mentioned in Table 16 above. See"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE
NOTES—Sale Proceeds of Future Obligations."
Direct and Overlapping Bonded Debt
The aggregate direct and overlapping bonded debt of the District as of June 30, 2013 is set forth

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 property 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.
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.
46648528.4 45
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,

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,(ii)(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 me
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 "situx" Any such allocation made to a local agency
continues as part of its allocation in future years.
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 100% of market value (unless noted differently) and all tax rates reflect the $1 per $100 of
taxable value.
46648528.4 46
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 XIIIB 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 XIIIB 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 returned 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 home 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 I11. 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
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.
46648528.4 47
Proposition lA and Proposition 22
Proposition lA ("Proposition IA"), 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 IA 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 most 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 IA 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 most provide local governments with equal
replacement revenues. Further, Proposition lA requires the State to suspend State mandates affecting
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 known as the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," was
approved by the voters on November 5, 1996. The initiative added Articles XIIIC and XDID to the
46648528.4 48
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 (i.e., "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 Cal.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 me not immediately available to the parcel being charged.
Article XIS provides that all existing, new in increased assessments are to comply with its
provisions beginning July 1, 1997. Existing assessments imposed on or before November 5, 1996, and
"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 XIIIC 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
46648528.4 49
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
XflID. 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
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 the event that service charges are
determined to be subject to Article XflID, 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 XIIIC and
XIIID will not have a material adverse impact on Net Revenues.
46648528.4 50
Other Initiative Measures
Articles XHIA, 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.

APPENDIX A—"COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013" herein. The District has

46648528.4 51
thereto, should be reviewed in their entirety. McGladrey & Pullen, 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 & Pullen,
LLP also has not performed any procedures relating to this official statement.
TAX MATTERS
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") imposes certain requirements that must be met
subsequent to the execution and delivery of the Notes for the interest component of the Installment
Payment (the "Interest Component"), and the allocable portion thereof distributable in respect of each
Note(the"Note Interest Distribution"),to be and remain excluded pursuant to section 103(a)of the Code
from the gross income of the owners thereof from the gross income of the owner 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 Notes.
In the opinion of Fulbright & Iaworski LLP, Los Angeles, California, Special Counsel, under
existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the Interest Component allocable to and the
Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note is exempt from personal income taxes of the State of
California and, assuming compliance with the covenants referred to herein, the Interest Component
allocable to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note are excluded pursuant to
section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes.
In the further opinion of Special Counsel,under existing statutes,regulations,rulings and court decisions,
the Notes are not"specified private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 57(a)(5) of the Code
and,therefore,the Interest Component allocable to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note
will not 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 the Interest Component allocable to and the
Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note owned by a corporation may affect the computation of the
alternative minimum taxable income.A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis on
which the alternative minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the Code will be computed.
The initial public offering price for the Notes is greater than the principal amount payable on the
Notes at maturity. To the extent that a purchaser of a Note who treats the stated interest payable at
maturity as qualified stated interest (as described above) acquires the Note at a price greater than the
aggregate amount (other than such qualified stated interest) payable on such Note, 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 non-callable tax-exempt obligation
must be amortized over the remaining term of the obligation: the amount of premium so amortized will
reduce the owner's basis in such Note for federal income tax purposes, but such amortized premium will
not be deductible for federal income tax purposes. Consequently,an owner of a Note who purchased the
Note with bond premium and held the Note until paid at maturity generally will not realize tax gain or
loss on such Note. 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 Note owned by such owner is sold
or disposed of for an amount equal to or in some circumstances even less than the original cost of the
Note to the owner. Purchasers should consult their own tax advisors as to the computation and treatment
of such amortizable bond premium, including, but not limited to, the calculation of gain or loss upon the
sale,maturity or other disposition of a Note.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement and in the Tar 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 and the Corporation in connection with the issuance of the Notes,the District and the Corporation
will make representations relevant to the determination of, and will make certain covenants regarding or
affecting, the exclusion of interest on the Notes from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal
46648528.4 52
income tax purposes. In reaching its opinions described above, Special Counsel will assume the accuracy
of such representations and the present and future compliance by the District and the Corporation with
such covenants referred to herein. Further, except as stated above, Special Counsel will express no
opinion as to any federal or state tax consequences of the receipt of interest on, or the ownership or
disposition of,the Notes.
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 and the Notes may affect the tax status of
the Interest Component or the Note Interest Distributions. No assurance can be given that future
legislation, if enacted into law, will not contain provisions that could directly or indirectly reduce the
benefit of the exemption of such amounts from personal income taxation by the State of California or of
the exclusion of the interest on the Notes from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income
tax purposes. Furthermore, Special Counsel will express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax
law consequences with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement,the Notes, the Interest Component
or Note Interest Distributions, if any action is taken with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement,
the Notes or the proceeds thereof, or the Trust Agreement predicated or permitted upon the advice or
approval of other counsel.
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 and the Corporation described above. No rating 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 Notes is commenced, under current procedures the Service is likely to treat the District as the
"taxpayer," and the owners 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 Component and Note Interest Distributions
accrued in respect of Notes, the District may have different or conflicting interest from the owners.
Public awareness of any future audit of the Notes could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the
Notes during the pendency of the audit,regardless of its ultimate outcome.
Although Special Counsel is of the opinion that Interest Component and Note Interest
Distributions in respect of a Note are exempt from California personal income tax and excluded from the
gross income of the owners 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 Notes. 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 Notes 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 Notes and the Code contains additional limitations on interest deductions applicable to
financial institutions that own tax-exempt obligations (such as the Notes), (ii) 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 Note
Interest Distributions in respect of the Notes, (iii) Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions
seemed in respect of Notes 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 Note Interest Distributions seemed in respect of Notes,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 Note Interest Distributions accrued
in respect of Notes owned by such recipients for federal income tax purposes, and(vi)under section 32(i)
of the Code, receipt of investment income, including Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions
46648528.4 53
accrued in respect of Notes,may disqualify the recipient thereof from obtaining the earned income credit.
Special Counsel has expressed no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences.
Existing law may change to reduce or eliminate the benefit to noteholders of the exclusion of
interest on the Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions accrued in respect of the Notes 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 Notes. Prospective purchasers of the
Notes should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to any proposed or future changes in tax
law.
A copy of the form of opinion of Special Counsel to be delivered at the closing of the Notes is
included in Appendix F.

rating upgrades on its obligations. Except as described in the preceding two sentences, during the past
five years, the District has never failed to comply in all material respects with any previous undertaking
with respect to the Rule to provide annual reports or notices of enumerated events.
RATINGS

Standard&Poor's Financial Services LLC business("S&P"), and" "by Fitch Ratings("Fitch"). S&P
and Fitch affirmed the long-term ratings of "_" and " ," respectively, on the District's Existing
Senior Obligations. Such ratings reflect only the views of the rating agencies, and do not constitute a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Notes. Explanation of the 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 Notes.

APPENDIX E
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
The description that follows of the procedures and recordkeeping with respect to beneficial
ownership interests in the Notes,payment of principal and interest evidenced by the Notes to Participants
or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the Notes, and other
Note-related transactions by and between DTC, Participants and Beneficial Owners, is based on
information furnished by DTC which the District and the Corporation each believes to be reliable, but the
District and the Corporation take no responsibility far 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 "Notes"). The Notes will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of
Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other time as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC. One fully-registered note will be issued for the Notes 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 Notes under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,which
will receive a credit for the Notes on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of
each Note ("Beneficial Owner") is in tam to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records.
Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners
me, 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 Notes are to be accomplished
by entries made on 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 Notes, except
in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Notes is discontinued.
46648528.4 E-1
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Notes deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other time as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Notes with DTC and their registration
in the name of Cede&Co. or such other nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC
has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Notes; DTC's records reflect only the identity of
the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Notes 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 Notes may wish to take certain
steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Notes, such as
prepayments, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example,
Beneficial Owners of Notes may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes are credited on the record date(identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus
Proxy).
Prepayments with respect to the Notes will be made to Cede&Co.,or such other nominee as tray
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 the 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 forth 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 Notes at
any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the
event that a successor securities depository is not obtained,Notes 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,Notes will be printed and delivered to DTC.
46648528.4 E-2
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 Notes,
(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 Notes 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 Note for each of the maturities of the
Notes, 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
Notes 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 Notes 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 Note as the absolute owner of such
Note for all purposes,whether or not such Note 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
Note shall be made only to such Owner, which payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability evidenced by such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Whenever any Notes shall be surrendered for transfer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver new
Notes 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. Notes may be presented for exchange at the Principal Office of the
Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes 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 Note during the period in which the Trustee is selecting Notes for prepayment,nor shall the
Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Note or portion thereof selected for prepayment from and
after the date of mailing the notice of prepayment thereof.

46648528.4 F-I
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 Notes. 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.
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 terms
2. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment, 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, 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 Notes by the Trustee,the Notes me entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.
4. Under existing statutes, regulations, ratings 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 (the "Interest Component"), and the allocable portion thereof distributable in respect
of any Note (the `Note 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 Notes are not "specified private activity bonds"
within the meaning of section 57(a)(5)of the Code and,therefore,the Interest Component and the
Note Interest Distributions will not 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
the Interest Component,and the Note Interest Distribution,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 on which the alternative minimum tax imposed
by section 55 of the Code will be computed. We me further of the opinion that the Interest
Component allocable to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note,are exempt from
personal income taxes of the State of California under present state law.
Pursuant to the Trust 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 Notes, the District
will make representations relevant to the determination of, and will make certain covenants
regarding or affecting, the exclusion of the Interest Component and the Note Interest Distribution
from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. In reaching the
opinions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, we have assumed the accuracy of
such representations and the present and future compliance by the District with such covenants.
46648528.4 F-2
Except as stated in the second preceding paragraph, we express no opinion as to any
federal or state tax consequence of the ownership or disposition of the Installment Purchase
Agreement or the Notes. Furthermore,we express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax
law consequences with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement, Notes, Interest
Component, or Note Interest Distributions, if any action is taken with respect to the Installment
Purchase Agreement, the Master Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Notes or the proceeds
thereof,permitted or predicated on the advice or approval of counsel,if such advice or approval is
given by counsel other than us.
The rights of the owners of the Notes and the enforceability of the Notes, the Master Agreement,
the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter
enacted and may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases. The
enforceability of the Notes, the Master Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase
Agreement is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts
of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, to the possible unavailability of specific
performance or injunctive relief,regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law,and
to the limitations on legal remedies against governmental entities in California.
No opinion is expressed herein on the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Official
Statement or other offering material relating to the Notes.
Our opinions are based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further
based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our
opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or to reflect any
changes in any law that may hereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a
guarantee of result; rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing
law that we deem relevant to such opinions and in reliance upon the representations and covenants
referenced above.

Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008B Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2009A Installment
Purchase Agreement, the 2010A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2010C Installment Purchase

Security and Source of Payments
The Notes are certificates of participation which evidence direct, undivided fractional interests in
the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment
Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment 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 Installment 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 the Installment Payment 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
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
408"62T2 2
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, 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 NOTES—Rate Covenant"in the Preliminary
Official Statement.
Additional Obligations
In addition to the Senior Obligations Outstanding, 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 Payment
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 NOTES Limitations on Issuance of Additional Obligations" in the Preliminary Official
Statement.

communicated to the winning bidder within 24 hours after receipt of such bid by the District. Changes in

greater than or an initial offering yield less than the fair market value thereof;

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Bradley R. Hogin, General Counsel
SUBJECT: POLICY FOR PAYMENT OF WARRANTS AND DEMANDS
GENERAL COUNSEL'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 14-13 entitled; "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Orange County Sanitation District Establishing the Policies and Practices for the
Payment of Warrants and Demands."
SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION
Government Code section 53910 authorizes the Board of Directors to adopt by
resolution policies and practices affecting the form, issuance, delivery, endorsement,
and payment of warrants as it deems convenient, efficient, and in the public interest.
The Board of Directors has not formally adopted a policy for the payment of warrants
and demands. Currently, the District's Financial Management Division has adopted
practices for the weekly processing of invoices for payment. These existing practices
require the presentation of a monthly warrant list to the Board of Directors for
subsequent ratification and approval. Pursuant to Government Code section 53910, the
Board may instead establish a policy authorizing the payment of warrants and demands
without having to present them to the Board for ratification and approval after the
payments have been made.
The attached resolution establishes a policy authorizing the payment of warrants and
demands without the preapproval of the Board provided all of the following are satisfied:
1. The General Manager, or his/her designee, has audited the claims/demands, has
verified that they are accurate, and has verified that funds are available for their
payment.
2. The claims/demands are for items included in the budget approved by the Board,
and there are sufficient unencumbered funds in the fund upon which they are
drawn.
3. The warrants or checks that are paid are presented to the Board of Directors for
information only, on a monthly basis.

same manner and with the same effect as are similar claims against the county"; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 53910, which applies to cities, counties,
districts, and other governmental agencies, provides that, "In addition to any other
provision of law for the issuance and payment of warrants of any county, city and
county, city, district, or other political subdivision of the state, the governing body
thereof, or, in the case of school districts not issuing their own warrants, the governing
body of the appropriate issuing officer, may by resolution authorize practices with
respect to form, issuance, delivery, endorsement and payment of warrants it deems
convenient, efficient and in the public interest, conforming substantially to those
practices specified in Sections 53911, 53912, 53913, or 53915"; and

B. Payroll warrants and checks, and warrants and checks drawn for payment

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 BOD 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.
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.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
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 DrT for that air sample.
Greenhouse gases — In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, and ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming ("greenhouse
effect").
Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) System — A joint water reclamation project that proactively
responds to Southern California's current and future water needs. This joint project between the
Orange County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District provides 70 million gallons a
day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
Levels of Service (LOS)—Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance.
NDMA— N-Nitrosodimethylamine is an N-nitrosoamine suspected cancer-causing agent. It has been
found in the Groundwater Replenishment System process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide
with extra ultra-violet treatment.
National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) — An alliance of the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA) and Water Environment Federation (WEF), with advisory support from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). NBP is committed to developing and advancing
environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory
compliance and promote public participation in order to enhance the credibility of local agency
biosolids programs and improved communications that lead to public acceptance.
Plume—A visible or measurable concentration of discharge from a stationary source or fixed facility.
Publicly-owned Treatment Works (POTW)— Municipal wastewater treatment plant.
Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) Line — A regional brine line designed to convey 30 million
gallons per day (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.
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.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
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.
