Parnell, Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. Industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at liquid waste hauler (LWH) discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On August 8, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Angelica Textile Services (Angelica) industrial laundry facility located at 925 South 8th Street in the City of Colton, California (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 1). The facility is permitted and monitored by the San Bernardino Municipal Water District (SBMWD; Appendix B, Indirect User Discharge Permit No. SARI-I11- 021). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether Angelica has developed and implemented S 1 a Gro atw • N ft a waa1B'xalx • stom br • GIS • Er 1 nng Remealaw * Contraction Industrial User Inspection Report:Angelica Te#ile Services November 1,2012 sufficient measures to ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403, 1.1 General and Process Description Angelica is an industrial laundry service company.The subject facility washes, dries, and presses gowns, bed sheets, towels, curtains, and cafeteria linens from the Loma Linda Hospital. Incoming laundry is suspended in large bags on an overhead transportation system that feeds the three banks of tunnel washers. From the washers, the clean laundry is pressed to remove excess water before the laundry is loaded into the dryers.The industry employs 150 people on a two-shift basis. 1.2 Wastewater Sources All potable water used by the facility is softened prior to use in the laundry. Approximately 139,000 gallons of water are used every day. Laundry process wastewater is discharged directly to the City of Colton sewer system through a lint trap. The wastewater is monitored by the City of Colton Industrial Pretreatment Program. No wastewater from the laundry process is discharged to the IEBL. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System Incoming potable water passes through one of three ion-exchange softeners prior to use in the laundry (Appendix A, Photo 2). The softeners are operated by a control system that switches automatically to the next softener as soon as the current one needs to be regenerated. The Zeolite ion-exchange resin is regenerated by a concentrated solution of sweet brine. This sweet brine solution is formulated in a separate mixing tank using potable water and crystalline salt (sodium chloride). The crystalline salt is delivered to the laundry by tanker truck and stored outside the facility in 7,200-gallon brine tank (Appendix A, Photo 6). Once the sweet brine solution has regenerated the softener resin, the excess regenerate fluid is transferred directly to a 7,200-gallon storage tank outside the facility (Appendix A, Photo 3). Both storage and brine tanks are located inside a bermed area in case of spillage, accident, or overflow.A spigot on the base of the storage tank is used as the sample point(Appendix A, Photo 5). 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The contents of the storage tank (maximum 5,000 gallons) are collected weekly by a tanker truck from HazMat Trans waste-hauler company(Appendix A, Photo 4).The storage tank is emptied through a pipe placed at the bottom of the tank. The tank contents do not mix. The hauler delivers the brine wastewater to the SBMWD LWH disposal station at the SBMWD water reclamation plant, where it is discharged into the IEBL. The facility uses a three-part manifest system. The generator retains the top copy of the manifest, the hauler retains the middle copy of the manifest, and the SBMWD LWH discharge station retains the bottom copy of the manifest. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS The laundry is not a categorical industry and is therefore not subject to federal categorical standards. The facility must meet the requirements specified in the permit issued by SBMWD(Appendix B). W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Angelica Te#ile Services November 1,2012 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements Since the facility is classified as a nonsignificant industrial user in the permit, it is not subject to federal and local biannual sampling and reporting requirements. The facility is required to comply with the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District(SBVMWD) ordinance, the SAWPA ordinance, and the OCSD ordinance concerning the IEBL local limits and general and specific prohibitions. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The permit contains all OCSD-required local limits and surcharge components and requires annual sampling for the pollutants.As indicated in Section 3.8 below, the permit does not explicitly require the permittee to perform the sampling. G &G Environmental Compliance, Inc. inspects this facility once per year in January on behalf of SBVMWD,which does not collect any samples. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The Angelica facility was found to be in clean operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.2 The water treatment system was found to be in good operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.3 All exterior tanks, pumps, and associated equipment were found to be in good condition and properly bermed in case of emergency spills or accidents. 3.4 The facility reported that sampling line is purged and sample bucket is rinsed prior to sample collection. No written standard operating procedures were available and the audit team did not observe a sampling event. 3.5 Angelica has an indirect discharge permit prepared by G & G Environmental Compliance, Inc. and issued by SBVMWD. The permit was approved for structure and content by both SAWPA and OCSD (Permit No. SARI-IU-021, Effective Date: March 20, 2011, Expiry date: March 19, 2014). 3.6 The facility is permitted as a nonsignificant industrial user, but this is not explicitly stated in the body of the permit.The only reference to this classification was under Permit No.SARI-IU-021. 3.7 The first paragraph on page 2 of the permit refers to CSM Bakery Products, not Angelica (Appendix B). It appears that another industrial user permit, rather than a clean template, was used to prepare the permit for Angelica. 3.8 Part 1113 of the permit refers to a sample point located on the tanker truck that transports the waste; however,the audit team was informed that the spigot on the storage tank is the sample point(Appendix A, Photo 5). W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Angelica Textile Services November 1,2012 3.9 Part IIIA of the permit requires that wastewater sampling be conducted each January but it does not specify that the permittee must perform the sampling. 3.10 The audit team was informed that G&G Environmental Compliance, Inc. inspects this facility for once per year in January on behalf of for SBVMWD and that SBVMWD does not collect any samples. 3.11 No record of any enforcement was identified for the past year. The discharge was apparently in compliance with all permit limits and requirements. However, it should be noted that this finding is based on one annual sample and one inspection only. 3.12 Angelica's permit to discharge into the IEBL via SBVMWD's LWH discharge station is issued by the SBMWD and signed by both SBMWD and SBVMWD. If proper jurisdiction was granted by SBVMWD to SBMWD to permit and monitor the indirect dischargers,only one controlling agency should issue the permit and monitor the industrial user.

Parnell, Ph.D., Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. Industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at liquid waste hauler (LWH) discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On August 29, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Chino II Desalter Facility located at 11251 Harrel Street in the City of Mira Loma, California (Appendix A, Site Photograph). The facility is permitted and monitored by SAWPA (Appendix B, Direct User Discharge Permit No. 4D-06-S58). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether the Chino II Desalter Facility has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. Sal a GmmMx wr • N as a Wasle wr • slwmw ie, 4 GIS 4 Eyi, n, Rem ialion a Constwot Industrial User Inspection Report:Chino II Desalter Facility November 1,2012 1.1 General and Process Description The Chino II Desalter Facility has been set up by the Chino Desalter Authority to remove salt and other contaminants from local well water to produce drinking water (Appendix A). The facility draws source water from eight wells located in the Chino Basin at a daily rate of 1.2 to 1.8 million gallons per day.The incoming well water is split between three reverse osmosis trains and eight ion exchange units. The reverse osmosis trains remove the majority of all contaminants from the well water, whereas the ion exchange units mostly remove nitrate and a few other minerals.The resulting purified waters from both units are mixed together in a clear well and chlorinated prior to discharge to the local potable water system. The potable water system receives approximately 825 gallons per minute from the facility. Currently, both systems are very well operated.The plant has only needed to shut down once in the past six years for maintenance and the inventory of spare parts ensures first-class reliability. The system is continuously monitored to ensure that the reject wastewater is in continuous compliance with the OCSD local limits. Also, there are cross checks on the ion exchange units to ensure that no breakthroughs occur when the resins become loaded and regenerations are required. The membranes have been in place for 7 years and are anticipated to need replacement in 3 years. The resin in four of the ion-exchange units is 7 years old, and the other four units have been in place only in the past two years. The estimated life span for the resin, if it is not damaged, is 20 years. Samples of resins are analyzed every 2 years to determine efficiency of the resins. Complete records of all maintenance and repair operations are maintained on-site with analytical results. An expansion system for the facility is planned to double the output capacity of the plant. Some of the reverse osmosis reject wastewater will be reprocessed to remove calcium carbonate and silica and then it will re-enter the reverse osmosis trains to increase production of potable water. It is anticipated that the expansion will be functional by early 2015. Currently, the facility employs three persons and operates five days per week.One employee is on call throughout the night. 1.2 Wastewater Sources High-salinity reject wastewater is continuously produced by the reverse osmosis trains. Also, the Dow TWA 15 resin in the ion-exchange units is periodically regenerated, producing high-brine wastewater. Some clean-in-place wastewater is also discharged to the IEBL through floor drains. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The entire plant is a treatment system,so there is no other specific,separate treatment system. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The reject wastewater from reverse osmosis is discharged directly through a 15-inch sewer lateral located at 11251 Harrel Street on the east side of the property, which discharges into a tributary to the Etiwanda Metering Station connection to the IEBL. The sampling point for the reverse osmosis wastewater is a manhole in Jurupa Community Service District (1CSD) service yard northeast of the fuel tanks. Three flow meters constantly measure the volume of wastewater discharged from the reverse osmosis system. The regeneration wastewater from the ion-exchange units is also discharged through W2622.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Chino II Desalter Facility November 1,2012 an 8-inch sewer lateral located at 11251 Harrel Street on the west side of the property,which discharges into the tributary to the Wineville Metering Station connection to the IEBL. The sampling point for the regeneration wastewater is a manhole located on the west side of the JCSD service yard (Appendix A). 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS Federal categorical standards are not applicable as the facility is not a categorical industry.The facility is required to meet the requirements specified in the permit issued by SAWPA(Appendix B). 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements The facility should be classified as a Significant Industrial User, which is subject to the OCSD local limits. Like any industrial user, the facility must also comply with pretreatment requirements in 40 CFR 403, including but not limited to, national prohibitions in 40 CFR 403.5 and reporting requirements in 40 CFR 403.12. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The permit requires that sampling be performed by the permittee twice per year in April and October. WMWD (on behalf of SAWPA) also samples once annually for compliance and monthly for billing. G &G Environmental Compliance Inc. inspects the facility twice per year. All OCSD local limits are included in the permit and must be sampled using composite sampling except for pH and oil &grease samples.The facility is in compliance at the time of the inspection. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The Chino II Desalter Facility was found to be clean and in good operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.2 The water treatment system was found to be in good operating condition and no immediate problems were identified. 3.3 All exterior tanks, pumps, and associated equipment were found to be in good condition and properly bermed in case of accidental spills. 3.4 The current permit contains errors and omissions. Instead of referencing SAWPA's current ordinance (Ordinance No. 6), the permit references SAWPA's Ordinance No. 5. The phone number to report an accidental discharge to the OCSD Source Control Manager is incorrect.The permit does not state that the facility is classified as a significant industrial user. 3.S The Chino II Desalter Facility holds a direct discharge permit prepared by G & G Environmental Compliance, Inc. on behalf of SAWPA.The permit has been approved for structure and content by both SAWPA and OCSD (Permit No.4D-06-S58 Effective Date: January 31, 2011, Expiry date: January 30, 2013).

Industrial User Inspection Report Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit Industrial User: Corona Energy Partners, Ltd. Industrial User Address: 1130 West Rincon Street, Corona,California 92880 Industrial User Permit Number: 4B-93-S20 Industrial User Representatives: Mr.Wayne Kawamoto, Plant Manager Mr.Wayne Thomson, OSM Supervisor Indirect/Direct User: Direct User Agency Area: Western Municipal Water District Agency Representatives: Mr. Benjamin Burgett,G &G Environmental Compliance Inc., Consultants to Western Municipal Water District Inspection Date: August 28,2012,Scheduled Inspection EEC/PSI Inspectors: Dr.John R. Parnell, Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering&Contracting(EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. Industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On August 28, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Corona Energy Partners, Ltd. facility located at 1130 West Rincon Street in the City of Corona, California (Appendix A, Site Photograph). The facility is permitted and inspected by G & G Environmental Compliance Inc. on behalf of the Western Municipal Water District (WMWD), and monitored directly by WMWD (Appendix B, Indirect User Discharge Permit No. 48-93-S20). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether Corona Energy Partners, Ltd. has developed and implemented sufficient measures to Sal a GmmMx wr • N as a Wasle wr • Slwmw iel 4 GIS 4 EyPi niq 4 Rem ialion a Constwot Industrial User Inspection Report:Corona Energy Partners,Ltd. November 1,2012 ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403, 1.1 General and Process Description Corona Energy Partners Ltd. operates a natural gas—fired turbine that powers an electrical cogenerating plant producing up to 47 megawatts of electricity.The electricity from the plant is fed into the Southern California Edison grid system. Incoming water is passed through a reverse osmosis plant and reject wastewater is discharged to the IEBL. The clean water is fed into a boiler to produce high-pressure steam used to augment power production. In addition, the plant produces steam to reduce the firing temperature and reduce nitrous oxide emissions to the atmosphere. Low-pressure steam is also supplied directly to a Dairy Farmers of America distillation plant located next door to the facility. Dairy Farmers of America uses the thermal energy in the steam and returns the condensate back to the Corona Energy Partners, Ltd.facility. Cooling towers are also required for cooling the oils used in the gas turbine and the air compressors for the generators. In addition, the air intakes into the turbine need to be cooled. 1.2 Wastewater Sources Process wastewater is produced from boiler blowdown, reverse osmosis reject water, cooling tower blowdown,and regeneration wastewater.All wastewater is collected in a central monitoring sump. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The central monitoring sump is equipped with pH and temperature control and contains an ultrasonic transducer for flow measurement.The sump drains directly to the IEBL through an automatic valve that can shut down the flow in an emergency and redirect the flow to a temporary storage tank. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The sample point is a manhole outside of the property in a grassy area in Rincon Road.The manhole is equipped with a metering flume and is directly connected to the IEBL. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS Federal categorical standards are not applicable as the facility is not a categorical industry.The facility is required to meet the requirements specified in the permit issued by WMWD(Appendix B). 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements The facility is a Significant Industrial User and is subject to the local limits developed by OCSD. Like any industrial user, it must also comply with pretreatment requirements in 40 CFR 403, including, but not limited to, national prohibitions in 40 CFR 403.5 and reporting requirements in 40 CFR 403.12. W2422.01T 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Corona Energy Partners,Ltd. November 1,2012 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The permit requires that sampling be performed by the permittee twice per year in January and July. WMWD also samples once annually for compliance and monthly for billing. G & G Environmental Compliance Inc. inspects the facility twice per year. All OCSD local limits are included in the permit and must be sampled for using composite sampling except for pH and oil and grease samples.The facility is currently in 100%compliance. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The facility was found to be in clean operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.2 The water treatment system was found to be in good operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.3 All exterior tanks, pumps, and associated equipment were found to be in good condition and properly bermed in case of accidental spills. 3.4 Corona Energy Partners, Ltd. holds a direct discharge permit prepared by G & G Environmental Compliance, Inc. for WMWD. The permit was approved for structure and content by both the SAWPA and OCSD (Permit No. 4B-93-S20, Effective Date: July 27, 2012, Expiry date: July 26, 2014). 3.5 No problems were found with the present permit. 3.6 No record of any enforcement was observed in the past year.

Parnell, Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. Industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough liquid waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at liquid waste hauler (LWH) collection stations varies.The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at collection stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On August 28, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Dairy Farmers of America Distilled Water Plant located at 1138 West Rincon Street in the City of Corona, California. The equipment used by Corona Resource Recovery, LLC on the same site was also inspected. Dairy Farmers of America is permitted and inspected by G & G Environmental Compliance Inc. on behalf of the Western Municipal Water District (MWMD) and is monitored by WMWD. The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether Dairy Farmers of America has developed and implemented sufficient Soil 4 Gr uM ter a l dils • Wastewater • Strmw w a GIS • E,ilre nrg Remwlaw a GansVucLon Industrial User Inspection Report:Dairy Farmers of America and Corona Resource Recovery,LLC November 1,2012 measures to ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. 1.1 General and Process Description The primary sources of influent water that Dairy Farmers of America receives comes from a series of onsite wells and the reverse osmosis high-strength brine reject wastewater from the City of Corona- Temescal Desalter. In addition, the clean-in-place wash waters used to clean the distillation plant and the cooling tower waters for the condenser unit are also recycled through the distillation process. The distillation equipment heats the incoming water in a heat exchanger using low-pressure steam from the Corona Energy Partners electrical generating plant located next door to the Dairy Farmers of America facility. Dairy Farmers of America originally used the steam in a cheese manufacturing plant but the plant was closed and the equipment was modified to form the current distillation plant. In the distillation process,the steam condenses in the heat exchanger and the condensate is recycled to the Corona Energy Partners plant to be reheated. The steam created from heating the incoming water supply is condensed in a series of distillation towers and produces pure distilled water(Appendix A,Site Photographs, Photo 1).Approximately 110,000 gallons of distilled water are produced for every 170,000 gallons of water processed every day.The distilled water is pumped back to the City of Corona-Temescal Desalter where it undergoes reverse osmosis again before being discharged to the local potable water system. Currently, Dairy Farmers of America employs four employees who work in two shifts (two persons per shift) covering a 14-hour day from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., seven days per week. No immediate expansion of the distillation plant is anticipated in the next few years; however, the plant may shut down once the steam-supply contract with Corona Energy Partners expires. 1.2 Wastewater Sources The reject wastewater from the distillation process is the only source of wastewater. The wastewater is discharged in batches to an equalization tank. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The well water at the Dairy Farmers of America plant has a high concentration of manganese that remains in the reject wastewater from the distillation process. Concentrated reject wastewater from the distillation process is collected in a 500,000-gallon equalization tank. If necessary, the pH of the wastewater can be adjusted in this tank using sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid. The reject wastewater normally has a pH around 8.0 and does not need any adjustment before being discharged directly to the IEBL. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge Wastewater from the equalization tank discharges directly into the 6-inch sewer lateral.The flow can be controlled by a hand-operated valve that reduces the flow to 350 gallons per minute.The Dairy Farmers of America's sewer lateral connects to the IEBL, which is located on Rincon Street, via a pit that also W2422.01T 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Dairy Farmers of America and Corona Resource Recovery,LLC November 1,2012 receives the discharge from Corona Energy Partners.A monitoring manhole/metering flume located on- site in the northeast corner of the service yard is the permitted sampling point for the subject facility. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS Federal categorical standards are not applicable as the distillation plant is not a categorical industry. The facility is required to meet the requirements specified in the permit issued by WMWD. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements Dairy Farmers of America is classified as a significant industrial user(Part 1D of the permit)and is subject to the local limits developed by OCSD. Like any industrial user, it must also comply with pretreatment requirements in 40 CFR 403, including but not limited to, national prohibitions in 40 CFR 403.5 and reporting requirements in 40 CFR 403.12. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency All OCSD local limits are included in the permit and must be sampled for using composite sampling except for pH and oil and grease, which must be collected as grab samples. The permit requires that sampling be performed by the permittee twice per year (in April and in October) at the designated sampling point. Daily recording is required for pH and flow measurement. WMWD also samples once annually for compliance and monthly for billing. G & G Environmental Compliance, Inc. inspects the facility twice per year for WMWD.The facility is currently in 100%compliance with local limits. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The facility was inspected and found to be in clean operating condition and no immediate problems were identified. 3.2 The wastewater treatment system was found to be in good operating condition and no immediate problems were identified. 3.3 All exterior tanks, pumps, and associated equipment were found to be in good condition and properly bermed in case of emergency spills or accidents. 3.4 Dairy Farmers of America is correctly identified as a noncategorical significant industrial user subject to 40 CFR 403,OCSD ordinance, and local limits. Dairy Farmers of America holds a direct discharge permit prepared by G & G Environmental Compliance, Inc. on behalf of WMWD. The permit has been approved for structure and content by both, SAWPA and OCSD. Since the indirect discharge to the IEBL and the OCSD wastewater treatment plant originates from the permittee's industrial processes, the permit contains OCSD's local limits and surcharge limits that apply at the end of pipe discharge point. In this instance, the sample point represents the end of pipe discharge (Permit No. 4B-08-S63, Issue Date: July 1, 2011, Effective Date: July 14, 2011, Expiration date:July 13,2013). W2422.01T 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Dairy Farmers of America and Corona Resource Recovery,LLC November 1,2012 3.5 The permit does not contain any limit for biological oxygen demand or total suspended solids, and semiannual sampling is required for both parameters. Monthly sampling by WMWD for surcharge purposes is not mentioned in the permit. 3.6 The multijurisdictional pretreatment agreement between WMWD and SAWPA does not define a "standby" permit nor does it contain a process for issuing such a permit. Consequently,there is no basis for the legality and validity of this type of permit. The permit should be reissued as a regular permit. In the future, instead of issuing "standby" permits, WMWD should develop a process for expediting the issuance of permits without undermining the necessary due diligence process. 3.7 In Sections 1.A.1 and 1.B, the permit refers to the sample location as Location 001. In Section 1.G, the permit describes the same location as Discharge Point A. In Section 2A, the permit refers to a designated sample location that is described and very poorly illustrated in Section 2.0 as a sample location. The permit should be revised to make the sample location the same in all sections. 3.8 Dairy Farmers of America has been in compliance since the permit was last issued on July 1, 2011. 4.0 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DAIRY FARMERS OF AMERICA AND CORONA RESOURCE RECOVERY On April 30, 2010, G & G Environmental Compliance Inc. (on behalf of WMWD) received a permit application from Corona Resource Recovery to use a large amount of equipment from the Dairy Farmers of America's to process grease trap and food processor waste at 1138 West Rincon Street, Corona, California. Thirteen months later, on July 1, 2011, after Dairy Farmers of America and Corona Resource Recovery signed an industrial lease agreement, a direct discharge permit (Permit 48-11-S66) issued to Dairy Farmers of America names Corona Resource Recovery as the operator.This permit allowed Corona Resource Recovery to discharge wastewater from the distilled water process and the food waste and grease interceptor processes directly to the IEBL through the monitoring manhole Sample Location 001 located on the property. On the same day (July 1, 2011) Permit 413-08-S63, was reissued to Dairy Farmers of America as a "standby" permit allowing the discharge of distilled water and reject wastewater through the same Sample Location 001 discharge point to the IEBL. The standby permit is intended to avoid an interruption in Dairy Farmers of America's manufacturing in case Corona Resource Recovery stopped receiving the wastewater from Dairy Farmers of America. If Dairy Farmers of America could not operate until a permit is issued, this would also cause the Corona Energy Partners facility to cease its production until WMWD issues a permit. Corona Resource Recovery began receiving and discharging grease trap and food waste to the IEBL in October 2011. The discharge continued until April 6, 2012, when the WMWD issued a cease and desist order to Corona Resource Recovery. Dairy Farmers of America terminated its lease with Corona Resource Recovery on July 27, 2012, and by the middle of August 2012, Corona Resource Recovery was locked out of the premises and unable to secure its wastes remaining on the site. W2422.01T 4 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Dairy Farmers of America and Corona Resource Recovery,LLC November 1,2012 5.0 PERMIT DETAILS The permit was issued to Dairy Farmers of America with the operator listed as Corona Resource Recovery, LLC: Permit No.4B-11-S66. Effective Date:July 13, 2011, Expiration date:July 12, 2013. 6.0 INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT USED BY CRR The site visit on August 28, 2012, included an inspection of the equipment used by Corona Resource Recovery. This equipment included a complete-mix biological treatment system, oil and grease separation equipment, flow equalization tanks, a centrifuge and pH neutralization equipment. All equipment appeared to be in the same condition as when Corona Resource Recovery had originally leased the property. No sign of any damage or any removal of equipment was noted (Appendix A, Photo 2). EEC was informed that Corona Resource Recovery left behind 300,000 gallons of waste oil.The plant operator informed the inspection team that the waste oil was still on-site.

Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. To evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs, industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type.The inspections were scheduled ahead of time with agency representatives in charge. The agency representatives contacted the key personnel at the various facilities to confirm their availability and to describe the scope of the inspection and introduce the audit team. As part of the audit, all four liquid-waste hauler (LWH) discharge stations within SAWPXs service area were inspected. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at LWH discharge stations using a commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. $ .J ♦ Grovna . ♦ P . ♦ W.sI.w ♦ Siw�iw ♦ GIS ♦ En,.n , RemaOa4on ♦ Conswdim Industrial User Inspection Report:Menifee Valley Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 On August 30, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 1). The station is permitted, operated,and managed by the Eastern Municipal Water District(EMWD).The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether SAWPA has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges through the LWH discharge station in Sun City comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. 1.1 General and Process Description The Menifee Valley LWH discharge station serves as a discharge point allowing indirect dischargers in the EMWD or any permitted LWH within SAWPA's service area to discharge wastewater into the IEBL. The discharge point at the station is a hose connection to a large wet well from which the wastewater can be pumped to the IEBL connection, (Appendix A, Photos 2 and 3).The wet well also directly receives wastewater effluents from the Perris and Menifee Desalter plants (both of which are located on the same property; Appendix A, Photo 4). The wet well has a covered roof to minimize rainwater intrusion. The effluent from the Inland Empire Energy Center (IEEC) is also piped directly to the Menifee Valley Truck Waste Disposal Facility. IEEC is permitted to directly discharge up to 1.2 million gallons of wastewater per day to the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station via a dedicated force main. Currently, only the wastewater from International Rectifier is allowed to be discharged at the station and the only LWH permitted to transport the wastewater is Hazardous Waste transportation Services, Inc. (HTS). A supervisor employed by HTS is on duty 24 hours per day at the International Rectifier facility. In order to reduce response time, the supervisor calls HTS whenever enough wastewater is produced at the site to fill a truckload, and the company sends an empty truck to pick up the load. Truckloads of approximately 6,200 gallons per load from International Rectifier are discharged at the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station, 12 to 16 times over each 24-hour period,7 days per week. Before the LWH truck leaves the International Rectifier site, one-quart grab samples are collected from each truckload to ensure compliance with the pH limits. Beckman pH meters are used to monitor pH. The pH meters are calibrated each time they are used. In addition, a three-part manifest is completed for every truckload,with one part retained by International Rectifier, one part by the LWH, and the third part is sent to EMWD. Based on an agreement with International Rectifier has an agreement with the Western Municipal Water District (WMWD), should the Menifee Valley Truck Waste Disposal Facility become unavailable or close for any reason, International Rectifier can discharge at the WMWD's discharge station until the Menifee Valley disposal station reopens. Discharges from Minegar Environmental Systems, Inc. are no longer allowed at the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station because the permittee is outside the SAWPA service area. Access to the Menifee Valley station is restricted. Prior to entering the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station,the truck driver must enter a security code to open the main entrance gate (Appendix A, Photo 5). A video camera mounted on the lamppost beside the gate continuously monitors truck movement through the gate and records number plates for verification (Appendix A, Photo 5). Once inside the facility, the truck driver directly connects the hose to the truck and can discharge the load directly into the wet well. No attendant is on duty and there is no sampling of the wastewater at this point.Twice a month an inspector from EMWD visits the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station and collects pH samples directly from the hauler trucks discharging at the station. If the pH value is out of the permitted limits, the inspector refuses to allow the truck to discharge the load. Legal loads are W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Menifee Valley Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 discharged to the wet well where they directly mix with the effluents from the Perris and Menifee Desalter Plants. Once the wet well reaches a certain level, the float switches turn on the pumps that pump the wastewater mixture through a force main to the connection with the IEBL several miles away (Appendix A, Photo 6). Automatic samplers located on the top of the wet well can collect samples from the Perris and Menifee Desalter Flows and from the wet well mixture of wastewater(Appendix A, Photo 7). By agreement with SAWPA, EMWD is responsible for the implementation of the pretreatment program for industries located in its jurisdiction and is permitted to transport and discharge brine wastewater into the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station. 1.2 Wastewater Sources The sole source of the indirect wastewater discharged at the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station is the effluent transported from International Rectifier by HTS hauler trucks. Direct discharges also occur from the Perris and Menifee Desalters and the IEEC. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The wastewater is not treated at the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station. Wastewater is pumped from the wet well to the connection with the IEBL and is not treated before it reaches the OCSD water treatment facility. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge Wastewater received at the LWH discharge station is pumped to the connection with the IEBL without any treatment. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS The facility is not subject to any federal categorical standards. The facility is required to meet only requirements specified in the permit issued by WMWD. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements While the facility is not subject to federal pretreatment requirements, limits that apply to dischargers with categorical standards also apply at this location. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The facility's most recent direct-user discharge permit(Permit No. 552)was issued to EMWD by EMWD. As is the case with all four LWH disposal stations within SAWPA's service area, each member agency permits and monitors its own collection station. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 Overall, the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station was observed to be clean and in good working order. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Menifee Valley Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 3.2 Copies of manifests were provided to the audit team during the interview with EMWD on August 21, 2012.These manifests contained the pH readings taken by HTS from both the source tank and the loading flow. No verification of the pH by EMWD was entered on the required section of the form on the three different manifests produced at the interview. There does not appear to be a cross-check of the pH level for each load prior to delivery to the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station. Furthermore, there is no place on the manifest form for any delivery signature and there is no operator at the Menifee Valley LWH discharge station to sign the form or receive the wastewater discharge. 3.3 Since only one permittee (International Rectifier) is allowed to discharge wastewater and only one hauler (HTS) is allowed to enter the station, the possibility of unauthorized waste entering the discharge station is currently minimal. If other permittees and haulers are allowed to discharge wastewater in the future, the present system would need to be modified to ensure greater protection of the IEBL. 3.4 No samples are being collected of the wastewater discharged at the LWH discharge station. Part 2C of the permit states, "Permittee is not required to monitor wastewater to be discharged to the IEBL System." Sampling at the station is essential; the permit must be changed to include a requirement for sampling and testing. The station is subject to local limits, and compliance with these limits must be demonstrated. Furthermore, LWH discharge station is subject to the more stringent limits for categorical dischargers when these limits apply. Therefore, in addition to sampling at the loading point, the audit team highly recommends implementation of a regular or random sampling program at the LWH discharge station. Other member agencies have adopted procedures to sample LWH loads at the point of discharge into the IEBL. Once samples are collected, the control agency can then submit the samples for analysis based on suspected loads or random selection. In addition to monitoring compliance with local and categorical limits, sampling of trucks at the LWH discharge stations is recommended because it raises the level of confidence that the LWH does not tamper with the load during transit. 3.5 The term liquid-waste hauler(LWH)discharge station should be used throughout the permit and other documents because it better conveys that the station is only an intermediate destination before the wastewater is treated at OCSD's treatment facility and subsequently released into the environment. 3.6 The EMWD LWH discharge station's most recent direct-user discharge permit (Permit No. 552) was issued to EMWD by EMWD. In general,self-permitting is not recommended because it does not always provide the desired level of control to ensure compliance with regulatory controls.

(Consultants to Western Municipal Water District) Inspection Date: August 28,2012,Scheduled Inspection EEC/PSI Inspectors: Mr.John R.Parnell, Ph.D.,Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr.Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: October 9,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering&Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. Industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truck loads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On August 28, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Frontier Aluminum Corporation located at 2480 Railroad Street in the City of Corona. The facility is permitted and inspected by G&G Environmental Compliance Inc.,consultants to Western Municipal Water District (WMWD). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether Frontier Aluminum Corporation has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that its discharges into the IEBL comply with Spl • GmuMxebr • NMM1s • Wash w ♦ Slom Ir • GIS • E,..,,p Ram ... • ConsWdion Industrial User Inspection Report:Frontier Aluminum Corporation November 1,2012 the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. 1.1 General and Process Description Frontier Aluminum Corporation prepares and paints various extruded aluminum parts for window and door frames, medical devices, and motor home parts.After they are painted,some of the parts are used to build finished articles. The facility also performs specialty jobs such as secondary machining of wheel chair parts, etc. When the current permit was issued, the facility was extruding aluminum, but this process was recently shut down and only painting continues at the facility. Up to 45 employees still work at the facility but production is down to one shift on one day per week at present. 1.2 Wastewater Sources Process wastewater is produced from the preparation of extruded aluminum parts prior to painting in a painting booth.Aluminum extrusions are hung on racks on a moveable overhead belt system, cleaned in a caustic bath,and rinsed prior to treatment(Appendix A,Site Photographs, Photo 1).The extrusions are then treated with a chrome phosphate and hydrofluoric acid solution to improve adhesion of the paint to the aluminum. Finally, the parts are rinsed twice to remove particulates. The parts then move through a painting booth and through an oven before emerging dry and ready for construction. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System Wastewaters from the alkaline and acid solutions described above are transferred to storage tanks prior to processing. The wastewater is transferred to a 3,000-gallon treatment tank and mixed with sodium metabisulfite to reduce the hexavalent chrome to trivalent chrome (Appendix A, Photo 2). Then, magnesium oxide and lime are added to reduce fluoride levels. Phosphoric acid is added to reduce the pH further,and the trivalent chrome precipitates out of the liquid and collects at the bottom of the tank. The precipitate is removed from the bottom of the tank and a filter press is used to produce a chrome hazardous waste sludge,which is hauled off by a licensed waste hauler(Appendix A,Photo 3). 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The wastewater liquid is decanted from the top of the tank and transferred to the 4,500-gallon storage tank to await transfer by a HazMat Trans, Inc. hauler company truck to the WMWD brine line truck disposal site (Appendix A, Photo 4). Currently, wastewater is collected approximately once every other week. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS This facility is no longer correctly categorized as a categorical industrial user(CIU) subject to 40 CFR Part 467 (Aluminum Forming Point Source Category), Subpart C, (Extrusion Subcategory) Paragraph 467.36 (Pretreatment Standards for New Sources) as it no longer performs any form of extrusion at the site.The permit expires in October 2012 and a new inspection of the facility should determine that the etching process performed on the aluminum parts prior to painting suggests that the facility should be reclassified as a Metal Finishing Point Source Category subject to the regulations in 40 CFR 433. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Frontier Aluminum Corporation November 1,2012 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements Currently, the facility is a CIL subject to a federal categorical standard and therefore is a significant industrial user. Like any industrial user, the facility must comply with pretreatment requirements in 40 CFR 403, including, but not limited to, federal prohibitions in 40 CFR 403.5 and reporting requirements in 40 CFR 403.12. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The permit must be completely rewritten to represent the change in classification of this facility. The new permit should contain both OCSD-required local limits and categorical standards found at 40 CFR 433. The sample point is a spigot located on the 4,500-gallon wastewater storage tank (Appendix A, Photo 5).The tank is mixed for 5 to 30 minutes prior to sampling and all samples are collected as grabs. Currently, WMWD performs compliance sampling quarterly and monthly (for surcharge purposes), and G & G Environmental Compliance Inc. inspects the facility quarterly. The permittee will still need to collects samples quarterly to meet pretreatment standards and local limits and monthly for billing purposes. WMWD also samples and inspects on a quarterly basis. In 2010, the facility recorded violations of the chromium limits and received a notice of violation from WMWD. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The facility was inspected and found to be in clean operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.2 The wastewater treatment system was found to be in good operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.3 Frontier Aluminum Corporation is now incorrectly identified as a CIU subject to 40 CFR 467, as all extrusion has ceased at the site indefinitely. The facility should be reclassified as a Metal Finisher subject to 40 CFR 433.WMWD representative became aware of the change at the time of the inspection conducted by EEC. 3.4 Frontier Aluminum Corporation holds a permit for indirect discharge.The permit was prepared by G & G Environmental Compliance, Inc. for WMWD and has been approved for structure and content by both the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority and OCSD (Permit No. DS-064, Effective Date:October 29,2010, Expiration date:October 28, 2012). 3.5 Extrusion at the facility ceased approximately one year ago and since, WMWD inspected the facility at least three times. Frontier should have informed WMWD, as required in its permit (Part 1 — Discharge Requirements, Section CA), of the process change in the planning stage. Furthermore, WMWD's inspections should have revealed that extrusion has stopped at the facility. 3.6 The permit should be reissued after an inspection to determine if the facility intends to continue production or not. 3.7 No best management practices were noted.

C. Frontier Aluminum, Corp. is an aluminum extrusion manufacturer. The operations include aluminum extrusion,painting and fabrication. The extruded aluminum prep prior to the paint line process will be treated and hauled to the SARI line.This is regulated under the requirements specified in:ALUMINUM FORMING - Subpart C, Extrusion Subcategory, 40 CFR,Part 467.36,PSNS Frontier Aluminum operates a paint line for coating aluminum extrusions. Aluminum extrusions are cleaned in a caustic bath and rinsed prior to treatment. The extrusions are then treated with a chrome phosphate pre- treatment to improve paint adhesion to the aluminum and then rinsed twice to remove particulates.The rinse water is then treated with Sodium Metabisulfite to reduce chrome. The rinse water is then treated with Magnesium Oxide to reduce fluoride levels. The water is then pH adjusted and the Cr(+3)which is derived during treatment and then allowed to precipitate from solution and to settle in the tank. The clean water is decanted from the top of the tank. The sludge is processed through the filter press. The filter cake is disposed of as a hazardous waste. Both the decanted water and filter press filtrate wastewater are sent to the facilities SARI storage tank and hauled offsite to the SARI System for disposal. 1.

Industrial User Inspection Report Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit Industrial User: Inland Empire Energy Center Industrial User Address: 26226 Antelope Road, Romoland,CA 92585 Industrial User Permit Number: 554 Industrial User Representative: Mrs,Alisa Moretto, Environmental, Health and Safety Manager Indirect/Direct User: Direct User Agency Area: Eastern Municipal Water District Agency Representative: Mr. Gregg Murray, EMWD Source Control Manager Inspection Date: September 6, 2012,Scheduled Inspection EEC/PSI Inspector: Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering&Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. To evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs, industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On September 6, 2012, Environmental Engineering & Contracting, Inc. (EEC) completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Inland Empire Energy Center (IEEC) located at 26226 Antelope Road, Romoland, California. The facility is permitted by the Eastern Municipal Water District (EWMD). IEEC is owned and operated by General Electric (GE). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether EWMD has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinance and 40 CFR 403. Soil ♦ ♦ .1 ♦ ♦ SW—.1 ♦ GIs ♦ FI-11n1 ♦ R....ti , ♦ CmaWB4pn Industrial User Inspection Report:Inland Empire Energy Center November 1,2012 1.1 General and Process Description The IEEC facility was previously owned by the Calpine Corporation before being purchased by GE in April 2008. The facility became fully operational in July 2010 and is GE's first 50Hz H-System power plant producing 800 MW of electricity. With both units operational, IEEC is currently generating a 740 MW output. An on-site switchyard connects IEEC to the existing Southern California Edison Valley substation. The substation is approximately one mile east of the site, across a 500 kV transmission line. Natural gas is delivered through the 20-inch Menifee Road pipeline which is connected to the existing Sempra Energy lines. The source of the water used by IEEC consists of reclaimed water from EMWD at the maximum rate of 5,000 gallons per minute. The IEEC facility is connected to the IEBL though a 4.7 mile, 18 in pipeline. Wastewater discharge from the IEEC facility into the IEBL commenced on May 1, 2008.The IEEC facility has the capacity to discharge a maximum of 1.2 Million gallons per day of wastewater into the Brine Line. EMWD has issued a Direct User Discharge Permit for the IEEC facility WMWD collection station (Appendix B, Permit No. 554). The permit was issued on October 1, 2010, and became effective on October 5, 2010. The permit is due to expire on October 4, 2012. Sanitary wastewater is discharged to a separate sewer line on McLaughlin Road. 1.2 Wastewater Sources Currently, the IEEC wastewater consists of 1.2 million gallons of process wastewater from boiler blow- down, air scrubber air pollution control system, ion exchange water treatment system, RO reject water, cooling tower blow-down and floor drains. All floor drains lead to the cooling towers. Water from floor drains is added to the cooling tower make up water and is subsequently treated with the cooling tower blow-down. IEEC does not discharge any storm water into the IEBL. The IEEC facility includes two open interception ditches along the northern and eastern perimeters to capture run-on storm water flows. The interception ditch along the northern boundary has a capacity of 4.6 cubic feet per second for the 100-year, 1-hour event; drains to the west through a culvert under Antelope Road; and continues in a southward direction via an existing shallow ditch on the west side of Antelope Road. The interception ditch along the easterly boundary is a landscaped ditch sized for a capacity of 407 cubic feet per second for the 100-year, 1-hour event; drains to the south; and discharges along the southern boundary of the IEEC property. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System Blowdown from the cooling tower is discharged into the IEBL. Other wastewater streams are recycled for use as cooling tower makeup. Recycled streams include the reject stream from reverse osmosis, blowdown from the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and recovery from plant service water drains. IEEC produces nonreclaimable wastewater at an average rate of approximately 0.86 million gallon per day and up to 1.2 million gallon per day at peak flow.The nonreclaimable wastewater is discharged into W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Inland Empire Energy Center November 1,2012 a 4.7-mile-long pipeline that conveys the wastewater to EMWD's Reach 4 Pipeline, which in turn conveys the wastewater to the Temescal Valley Regional Interceptor and the IEBL. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge Wastewater discharge is sampled for categorical limits at Sample Point 001 (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 1) and for local limits at Sample Point 002 (Appendix A, Photo 2) before both wastewater streams discharge into the IEBL. IEEC is subject to self-monitoring requirements and two permanently installed composite samples are used to collect quarterly samples(Appendix A, Photo 3). 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS The facility is a significant industrial user and is subject to federal and State pretreatment standards and requirements as specified in 40 CFR 403, "Federal Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution," 40 CFR 423, "Steam Electric Power Generation Point Source Category," Subpart 423.17. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements The facility is not subject to any other federal pretreatment requirements. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency In addition to the federal and State requirements, the facility is subject to the requirements of EMWD Non-Reclaimable Wastewater Ordinance, SAWPA's Ordinance, and the industrial wastewater discharge permit issued by EMWD. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 Overall,the IEEC facility was observed to be clean and in good working order. 3.2 The prohibited waste discharges are listed under Part 5.1. of the permit. However, the permit does not list the wastewater streams authorized to discharge from the IEEC facility. Although not a regulatory requirement, EEC recommends that a list of the waste streams with categorical limits be made into an integral part of the permit. 3.3 The facility is equipped with permanent gauges to provide real-time flow rates and pH measurements (Appendix A, Photo 4). Flow rates and pH measurements are also monitored in real-time by EMWD. This very advanced monitoring system was not encountered at any other facility inspected during the audit and is considered a Best Management Practice.

Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering&Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. Industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs. The inspections were scheduled ahead of time with agency representatives in charge. The agency representatives contacted the key personnel at the various industrial user facilities to confirm their availability and to describe the scope of the inspection and introduce the audit team. As part of the audit,all four liquid waste hauler(LWH) discharge stations within SAWPA's service area were inspected. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The Soil ♦ G—d—ler ♦ All ♦ ww.w. er ♦ S.,..1s1 ♦ GIS ♦ E,&.r.., ♦ R...d.tlbn ♦ Conslmclion Industrial User Inspection Report:IEUA Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at LWH discharge stations using a commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On August 23, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the liquid- waste collection station located in Chino, California (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 1). The collection station is permitted,operated, and managed by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency(IEUA).The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether SAWPA has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges through the station in Chino comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. 1.1 General and Process Description The sole purpose of the IEUA LWH discharge station is to allow permitted LWHs within the SAWPA service area to discharge wastewater from indirect users into the IEBL. Access to the station is restricted to authorized LWH truck drivers only. Prior to entering the station,the LWH truck driver is required to place the"Door King Card"against a reader to open the gate.The station has two lanes leading to its entrance and has two separate gates. For each lane, a reader is placed to activate each gate. The station accommodates two trucks simultaneously.The station is under constant surveillance by a closed circuit television system including a camera monitoring system. Once inside the station,the driver connects the truck to the automated station using a 3-inch hose.The driver then opens the door to the keypad using his assigned key (Appendix A, Photo 2) and enters his assigned three-digit access code.The driver must enter a second code(four-digit personal identification number) assigned to each individual driver by his/her manager. The driver is then prompted to enter a three-digit code that identifies the valid liquid waste generator of the transported load. The driver must then enter the manifest number. Once the manifest number is entered, the driver is asked to verify that the hose is attached before beginning to discharge the load. Once the load is completely discharged, the driver is instructed to close the truck valve and to drain the hose. After two minutes,the valve to the IEBL shuts and the system flushes the line and re-sets for the next truck driver. The truck driver then places the manifest in the designated box (Appendix A, Photo 3) and exits the station. If the system detects a pH value outside of the permitted range of 6.0 to 12.0,or if it detects a dissolved sulfides concentration above 0.5 mg/L,the station shuts down.The security codes assigned to the driver are immediately rendered invalid until reactivated by an IEUA staff member. For each of the two station discharge lanes, the pH meter is calibrated weekly and the flow meter is calibrated annually. An ISCO automatic sampler is used at each discharge lane. Samples are collected from every truck and refrigerated (Appendix A, Photos 4 and 5).Samples are randomly analyzed. 1.2 Wastewater Sources The source of the wastewater is the wastewater transported by the LWHs and discharged at the station. Storm water is diverted away from the IEBL discharge point and directed into a storm water sewer (Appendix A, Photo 6). W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:IEUA Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The wastewater is not treated at the LWH discharge station. It flows by gravity through the IEBL and does not undergo any treatment until it reaches the OCSD water treatment facility. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The same wastewater that is received at the LWH discharge station is discharged into the IEBL without any treatment. The connection to the IEBL from the discharge station is made via an 8-inch c lateral and is located at a manhole on El Prado Road in the City of Chino. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS The facility is not subject to any federal categorical standards. The facility is required to meet only the requirements specified in the permit issued by IEUA. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements While the facility may not be subject to federal pretreatment requirements, nonetheless, limits that apply to dischargers with categorical standards also apply at this location. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The facility's most recent wastewater discharge permit (Permit No. SSP027) was issued to IEUA by IEUA. As is the case with all four liquid waste collection stations within SAWPA's service area, each member agency permits and monitors its own collection station. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 Overall, the IEUA liquid waste hauler discharge station at the City of Chino was observed to be clean and in good working order. 3.2 Among the four LWH discharge stations inspected,the logistics and technologies used to secure the IEUA LWH discharge station and monitor the discharged wastewater are considered state of the art. Compared to the other three LWH discharge stations, the IEUA station provides the highest level of protection to OCSD's treatment system and to the IEBL.

Parnell, Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. To evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs, industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type. On August 30, 2012, Environmental Engineering & Contracting, Inc. (EEC) completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the International Rectifier (IR) facility located at 41915 Business Park Drive, Temecula, CA 92590. The facility is permitted by the Eastern Municipal Water District (EWMD). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether EWMD has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges from the IR facility into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinance and 40 CFR 403. so[i ♦ Gm awr • Audits • Weslevaler ♦ Sto wr ♦ GIS • En im nn, Rem is ♦ ConsVU01m Industrial User Inspection Report:International Rectifier November 1,2012 1.1 General and Process Description The IR facility began operating in 1987.The facility uses complex acid-and solvent-etching techniques to insert a series of various types of high-performance analog-, digital-, and mixed-signal integrated circuits onto precut silicon wafers.Acid etching involves the use of hydrofluoric, sulfuric, hydrochloric,and nitric and phosphoric acids.Solvent etching involves the use of xylene as well as an ethyl lactate base solvent. The etching process is performed by a wide range of different etching machines located in ultra clean rooms within the facility. Visitors entering the ultra-clean rooms must wear full-body overalls, head covers, and face masks. Entry to the ultra-clean rooms was deemed unnecessary because no wastewater connections could be traced back to the rooms.The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and employs more than 600 workers who work in five alternate shifts. The silicon wafers containing the integrated circuits are then sent to another IR facility in Mexico where the wafers are cut into smaller parts.The smaller integrated circuits are then manufactured into finished products by the addition of protective covers and contact pins. The finished products are used in multiple applications including the automotive, commercial and industrial appliance, computer, and cellular telephone industries. 1.2 Wastewater Sources Wastewater is produced from a variety of washing and rinsing processes performed by the acid and solvent etching machines. The etching machines use ultra-pure water to clean and rinse the silicon wafers. The ultra-pure water is produced from potable water by extensive reverse osmosis and deionization processes.Wastewater streams from the reject reverse osmosis and deionization processes are considered process wastewaters because they are an integral part of the process required for the manufacturing of integrated circuits. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System Wastewater from the etchers is separated into wastewater streams of low and high fluoride concentration. Low concentration fluoride wastewater is collected in outside Tank T- 14, whereas high concentration fluoride wastewater is collected in outside Tank T-13.The content of Tank T-13 is sent off- site for treatment and disposal. Solvent wastes are also discharged to a separate tank and hauled off- site by a hazardous waste tanker truck. Wastewater from Tank T-14 is first processed by the addition of potassium hydroxide in a series of tanks in the neutralization system. A pH regulation system recycles acid waste through the neutralization system until the correct pH is attained. Neutralized wastewater is then circulated through one of two ultra reverse osmosis systems to reclaim some of the water for reuse in the etchers.An estimated 1.8 gallons of water pass through the plant for every gallon of water that is supplied by the potable water system. This results in a water recycling rate of 80%. Reject wastewater from the ultra reverse osmosis system is mixed in Tank T-9 with process wastewater from the neutralization system, cooling tower reverse osmosis reject and the deionization regenerant. Neutralization system wastewater can also be discharged to Tank T-10 for extra volume. Tanks T-9 and T-10 are sampled at Sample Points 003 and 004, respectively. After final pH control at Tanks T-9 and W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:International Rectifier November 1,2012 T-10, the wastewater passes through a Vibratory Shear Enhanced Process (VSEP) unit where additional water is reclaimed for recirculation to the etchers. Final reject from the VSEP is mixed in Tank T-21 with other nonprocess wastewater before being discharged through the tanker-truck pickup point (Sample Point 002) for disposal at EMWD's liquid- waste hauler (LWH) discharge station. Sample Point 005 is located between the VSEP system and Tank T-21 and is used to monitor wastewater discharge for compliance with the applicable categorical standards. The maintenance of the ultra-pure water producing systems (reverse osmosis and deionization) and the operation of the wastewater treatment system are subcontracted by IR to Kurida America Inc. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The reject reverse osmosis wastewater in Tank T-21 and other wastewater streams from Tanks T-9 and T-10 are discharged through a tanker truck coupling. A supervisor from the HTS hauling company is stationed permanently on site to organize the collection and transport of the wastewater to the EMWD LWH collection station. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS This facility is correctly categorized as a categorical industrial user subject to 40 CFR Part 469 (Electrical and Electronic Components Point Source Category), Subpart A, (Semiconductor Category) Paragraph 469.18 (Pretreatment Standards for New Sources; Existing Source for this category is prior to August 24, 1982). 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements The facility is a categorical industrial user subject to a federal categorical standard and is therefore a significant industrial user. The facility must comply with pretreatment requirements in 40 CFR 403, including, but not limited to, national prohibitions in 40 CFR 403.5 and reporting requirements in 40 CFR 403.12. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The IR facility was issued permit no. 522 by EMWD. Permit no. 522 has an effective date of October 1, 2011, and an expiration date of September 30, 2013. Prior to the issuance of the permit by EMWD, the IR facility was issued Permit No. DS-012 by the Western Municipal Water District (WMWD). Permit no. DS-012 has an effective date of July 27,2011,and an expiration date of July 26,2013. Wastewater from this facility was originally collected by tanker trucks and delivered to the WMWD LWH disposal station. Currently, the wastewater is discharged at the EMWD LWH disposal station. The IR facility retains both permits to ensure that disposal of its wastewater could still occur if any one of the two disposal stations were out of service for any length of time. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:International Rectifier November 1,2012 The permit developed by EMWD requires IR to collect a composite sample quarterly from sample points 002, 003 and 004. Sample composition is determined based on data from the facility on the percentage discharge to each point within the 24-hour period covered by the sample collection event. Sampling for the total toxic organics (TTO) requirement in the federal regulation is conducted twice per year from sample point 005 as previously negotiated with OCSD. EMWD conducts all of the sampling and the permittee is not required to submit compliance reports. Inspections of this facility are performed on a quarterly basis by EMWD. EMWD also performs quarterly compliance sampling. The current indirect discharge permit issued by EMWD was approved for structure and content by SAWPA and OCSD. The indirect discharge to the IEBL and subsequently to OCSD's Wastewater Treatment Plant originates from the permittee's categorical industrial processes. Therefore, the permit must contain both the categorical limits, which apply at the end of process, and OCSD's local limits, which apply at the end of pipe discharge point. In this instance, the Sample Point 005 is the end of process sample point and the Sample Points 002, 003, and 004 are composited as the end of pipe sample points. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The facility was inspected and found to be in excellent operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.2 All pipes throughout the facility are clearly labeled.The labels indicate the pipe content and the flow direction. 3.3 The water treatment system was found to be in good operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.4 The EMWD permit correctly identifies the difference between OCSD's TTO local limit(which only requires an EPA 624 analysis) and the federal pretreatment standard for TTO in 40 CFR 469.18 (which requires both a 624 and 625 analysis). The WMWD permit does not distinguish between these two limits and incorrectly compares the OCSD limit to the 40 CFR 469.18 limit by using the most stringent limit for the single analysis. 3.S EMWD with assistance from OCSD diligently worked with the IR facility personnel to modify the discharge system so that the federal TTO limit is sampled at the correct location (Sample Point 005). There is no evidence that WMWD exerted the same level of diligence and sought OCSD's assistance in making the same determination. As a result, the sample points referenced in the WMWD permit are no longer valid. 3.6 The WMWD permit briefly describes the etching processes performed by the permittee as part of the classification of the industrial user. The EMWD permit simply refers to the permittee as "performing processes subject to 40 CFR 469;' which is inadequate in the opinion of the audit team. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 4 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:International Rectifier November 1,2012 3.7 Wastewater is handled appropriately in all areas of the facility, and the IR facility is implementing best management practices wherever possible. 3.8 The facility has an ongoing effort to conserve water by processing and recycling water at every possible point in the system. 3.9 Taking photographs is not allowed inside the facility for security reasons.

Parnell, Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering&Contracting(EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. To evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs, industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance ofthe pretreatment programs. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at liquid waste hauler (LWH) discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. W1 ♦ G ur M r ♦ Air ♦ Wade wr ♦ SWm r ♦ GIS ♦ Erginemiig 4 Ramedii ♦ Cor tr Uiw Industrial User Inspection Report:Metal Container Corporation November 1,2012 On August 27, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Metal Container Corporation facility located at 10980 Inland Avenue, Mira Loma, CA 91752. The facility is permitted, inspected and monitored directly by Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD).1CSD issued Permit No. SARI-EMS-101. The permit effective date is January 1, 2012, and its expiration date is December 31,2014. The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether the Metal Container Corporation has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. 1.1 General and Process Description Metal Container Corporation is one of the Anheuser-Busch Companies that manufactures 30 to 12 million aluminum cans from sheet aluminum for all types of beer and other drinks. The facility began production in 1995 and has discharged into the IEBL since that year. The production of cans entails a series of processes: First, "cups" are produced directly from aluminum sheets by a series of stamping machines.The cups are then washed in a series of three six-stage counter current washers. Drawing machines are used to draw out the cups to form the complete can body with an open top.Various colored logos are then applied to the can bodies by printing machines. Finished can bodies are stacked on pallets and transported to other locations where the can top is added after cans are filled.The facility is continuously operational with 177 employees working 12-hour shifts. 1.2 Wastewater Sources All potable water used in the manufacturing of cans is purified using a reverse osmosis(RO)system or a deionization (DI) process. The primary source of wastewater is the washing of the cups by the three industrial washing machines. Other wastewater sources originate from the cupping and drawing processes (through an oil splitter unit), RO reject water, DI regenerant water, cooling tower blowdown, boiler blowdown, and a small amount of oily wash-down water. All these wastewater sources are considered a part of the integral process and are not considered "dilute" with respect to categorical standards.The facility uses approximately 200,000 gallons of water per day. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The wastewater treatment system consists of three large equalization tanks feeding a four-stage reactor. In the first stage, sulfuric acid is added to lower the pH to 2.0 and to break the chemical emulsion. Breaking the emulsion allows the oil to rise to the surface.The second stage consists of a oil skimming with a rope mop. In stage three, lime is added to raise the pH to 8.0 for the cationic polymer coagulation. In the fourth stage, coagulated wastewater enters a clarifier for the separation of solids. The solids are processed in a filter press. Sludge from the filter press is transported off-site to a nonhazardous landfill. The filtrate from the press is returned to the clarifier. The pH of the effluent from the clarifier is continuously monitored. A total facility flow sample point containing both process and all other domestic waste is located in a monitoring manhole on Inland W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Metal Container Corporation November 1,2012 Avenue utilizing a Parshall flume and a bubbler type flow meter (Appendix A,Sampling Point, Photos 1 and 2).Site photographs were not taken because photography is prohibited inside the facility. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge Process and domestic wastewater from the facility is directly discharged into the IEBL through a 10-inch sewer lateral, located at 10980 Inland Avenue, that discharges into the JCSD sewer system. The JCSD sewer system serves as a tributary to the IEBL. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS This facility is correctly categorized as a categorical industrial user subject to 40 CFR 465 (Coil Coating Point Source Category), Subpart D, (Can-making Subcategory) Paragraph 465.45 (Pretreatment Standards for New Sources; existing source for this category is prior to February 10, 1983). Pretreatment standards are production-based mass limits and are based on the wastewater discharge from the manufacture of 1 million cans. The requirement for production per 1 million cans manufactured is contained in 40 CFR 465.41,Subpart D, BPT Effluent Limitations. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements The facility is a categorical industrial user and is therefore a significant industrial user because it is subject to a federal categorical standard. Metal Container Corporation must comply with pretreatment requirements in 40 CFR 403, including but not limited to, national prohibitions in 40 CFR 403.5 and reporting requirements in 40 CFR 403.12. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The permit contains the OCSD-required local limits and the categorical standards found in 40 CFR 465.45. Some parameters are required to be analyzed quarterly, some semi-annually and others annually. No violations by the facility have ever been recorded. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The facility was inspected and found to be in clean operating condition and no immediate problems were identified. 3.2 The water treatment system was found to be in good operating condition and no immediate problems were identified. 3.3 Metal Container Corporation is correctly identified as a categorical industrial user subject to 40 CFR 465.45 categorical standards, which are set correctly. There are no other categorical operations. 3.4 Part 2A of the permit indicates that sampling must occur at various intervals but does not indicate that two sample points must be used. W2622.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Metal Container Corporation November 1,2012 3.5 The permit does not specify that the industry must provide production data for the number of cans manufactured on the sampling day although it is included in the monitoring report in Attachment S. Mass emission rate is calculated based on an estimate rather that an actual production number.This is unacceptable in most cases. 3.6 Permit contains a few errors and omissions. The permit was not signed by the issuing agency (JCSD)and is missing language in the first paragraph of page 2. 3.7 The permit prohibits the discharge of any wastewater with a pH lower that 5.0, whereas the OCSD's pH limit is 6.0. 3.8 Under the general requirements for flow measurement, the permit requires that the selected device must be capable of measuring flow with a maximum deviation of less than 10%. This represents a lower accuracy than the 5% deviation required by OCSD. Flow meters with accuracy of 5% are widely available and should be calibrated and operated according to manufacturer's instructions. 3.9 A technician from Douglas Environmental Group collects samples and submits them to TestAmerica for analysis. Reportedly, Douglas Environmental Group is performing the required calibration of the flow meter, but no documentation of such was obtained. 3.10 Monitoring sheets (permit Attachments 4 and 5) indicate that different locations must be used for federal and local limits, but this is not made clear in the body of the permit. 3.11 Federal law [40 CFR 403.12(e) and (h)] requires a minimum of semiannual monitoring for any limits included in the permit.Annual sampling parameters should be increased to semiannual in the monitoring table. 3.12 No specific best management practices were noted. 3.13 No record of any enforcement was observed in the past year. The discharge was apparently in compliance with all permit limits and requirements. 3.14 The permit does not clearly describe two sampling locations. Part 3E of the permit identifies two sampling locations but only describes the outfall (sewer manhole for the end of pipe local limits) as Outfall 001 in Part 1A. The Table of Pollutants in the permit refers to one sampling point (Outfall 001). The clarifier sampling location is mentioned in Section I.E. of the permit but it is not included in the table heading.The same section of the permit states that samples should be collected at either the clarifier or the manhole. The permit should be corrected to clearly indicate the sampling point for the categorical limits and the sampling point for the local limits. Also,the Discharge Limitation Table in Part 1G only notes limits from Outfall 001. Federal limits do not apply at Outfall 001 without a combined waste-stream formula conversion. Further investigation should be conducted to verify that domestic and industrial wastewater streams are not comingled prior to discharge into the IEBL.

POINT OF DISCHARGE During the effective period of this permit, the permittee is authorized to discharge industrial wastewater to the District's sewer system from the oulfall(s) listed below. Outfall Description 001 Ten (10) inch sewer lateral located at 10980 Inland Avenue which discharges into the District's sewer system, which is tributary to the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor (SARI). B. PRETREATMENT REGULATIONS: Permittee is subject to numerous federal and local regulations pertaining to the discharge of industrial wastewater. First, federal Categorical Industrial User Standards found in 40 CFR 403 and specifically 40 CFR 465.45 (Subpart D, Canmaking Subcategory, New Source). Second, permittee is subject to this permit and JCSD's Pretreatment Ordinance (for discharge to the JCSD sewer). Third, permittee is subject to the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority's Pretreatment Ordinance (for discharge to the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor). Fourth, permittee is subject to the Orange County Sanitation District (for discharge to OCSD's treatment plant). This permit will attempt to reflect the most stringent requirements where the ordinances and regulations do not agree to prevent noncompliance with any regulation. Permittee shall grant access to the facility for inspection and monitoring to representatives of the agencies listed above upon proper presentation of identification. C. SOURCES OF INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER: During the effective period of this permit, the industrial wastewater discharge from ouffall 001 shall be limited to the following sources: Wastewater produced in the production of aluminum can bodies from aluminum coil stock. The primary source of the wastewater produced is from the washing of the cups in the three, six-stage counter current washers. Other wastewater sources originate in the cupping and drawing process (through oil splitter unit), potable water purification process (R.O. reject water, D.I. regenerant), cooling tower blowdown, boiler blowdown, and a small amount of oily washdown water. None of the sources are considered Page 3 Jurupa Community Services District Industrial User Permit: Metal Container Corporation: SARI-EMS-101 Effective Period: 1/1/12 — 12131/14 "dilute"with respect to categorical standards. PART 1 DISCHARGE LIMITATIONS CONTINUED... D. INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT During the effective period of this permit, permittee shall operate and maintain a wastewater treatment system that is designed to meet the water quality requirements set forth in this permit. Wastewater treatment includes unaided oil skimming, flow equalization, cationic polymer coagulation, low-pH chemical emulsion breaking and secondary oil skimming. Treatment then involves lime addition, which precipitates not only metal hydroxides but also fluoride and phosphate under alkaline conditions, followed by anionic polymer flocculation and settling. Approximately 15% of the sludge from the clarifier is recirculated to the precipitation step to fully utilize the alkalinity and flocculent content. Settled solids are dewatered through a sludge thickener and filter press. The sludge thickeners decant and the filter press filtrate is returned to the filtrate sump. The sludge is disposed of at a landfill. E. FLOW MONITORING AND SAMPLE LOCATIONS During the effective period of this permit, flow monitoring of industrial wastewater effluent shall occur by means of a magnetic flow meter located on the effluent pipe from the clarifier. Industrial wastewater effluent samples shall be collected from the sample ports on the effluent pipe from the clarifier or the manhole located approximately 20 feet east of the sample port. Total flow monitoring of all wastewater discharged to the sewer shall occur in the monitoring manhole located on Inland Avenue utilizing a Parshall flume and a bubbler type flow meter. F. FLOW LIMITATIONS During the effective period of this permit, permittee shall be subject to the following flow limitations: 1. Permittee's monthly flow shall not exceed the 12 month average of the purchased capacity that it owns in the JCSD's sewer system. If the average flow is exceeded additional flow capacity must be purchased in a timely manner. A letter requesting the additional flow shall be required. 2. Permittee shall not discharge wastewater in excess of the following hourly limit: GPH = (Purchased Capacity/24) x 1.5 Where: GPH = Gallons Per Hour Page 4 Jurupa Community Services District Industrial User Permit: Metal Container Corporation: SARI-EMS-101 Effective Period: 1/1/12 — 12131/14 Purchased capacity is expressed in gallons.

B. SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS All handling and preservation of collected samples and laboratory analyses of samples shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 136, and amendments thereto unless specified otherwise in the monitoring conditions of this permit. Composite samples shall be collected over a 24 hour period using an automatic composite sampler set up to collect a sample a minimum of every 15 minutes. Chain of custody records must be maintained and submitted with the monitoring reports. If the Industrial User chooses to collect the industrial wastewater samples, a report detailing the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for sample collection and preservation must be submitted to the Jurupa Community Services District for review and approval. Samples collected by the Industrial User prior to Jurupa Community Services District approval of the SOP shall be considered invalid. C. MONITORING LOCATION Monitoring of industrial wastewater shall be conducted at the effluent pipe from the final clarifier. The location is identified on the plans submitted to the District with the Industrial Waste Class 1 Permit Application and are maintained on file for reference. D. FEDERAL ALTERNATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Permiltee shall select to monitor for either Total Toxic Organics as defined in 40 CFR 465.020) or for Oil and Grease using the method defined in 40 CFR 465.03. Permittee has traditionally selected Total Toxic Organics as the measurement for compliance. If permitee chooses to select Oil and Grease as the measurement of compliance with the limit, the permitee shall notify the District in writing prior to sample collection. The constituent selected to measure compliance with the federal limit shall be used exclusively to measure compliance with the Federal limit for Total Toxic Organics or Oil and Grease. For example, if Total Toxic Organics is selected for compliance measurement with the federal limit, oil and grease monitoring results performed for local limit compliance determination shall not be applied to the federal limit. The reason for this is the limits were derived as alternatives to each other in the federal limit development process as documented in the can making development document and according to Greg Arthur of the Federal EPA.

JCSD Ordinance 226 — Pretreatment Ordinance Page 12 Jurupa Community Services District Industrial User Permit: Metal Container Corporation: SARI-EMS-101 Effective Period: 111/1 2 — 1 2131114 Attachment 1 Jurupa Community Services District Self-Monitoring Requirements 1. General Requirements — Samples and measurements taken as required herein shall be representative of the volume and nature of the monitored discharge. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other wastestreams, body of water or substance. All equipment used for sampling and analysis must be routinely calibrated, inspected and maintained to ensure their accuracy. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to and the written approval of, the District's Pretreatment Department. 2. Analytical Techniques - All sampling and analysis required by this permit shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136. Where 40 CFR 136 does not include sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutants in question, analyses shall be performed using techniques specified in the most current edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater". The laboratory performing the analyses shall utilize the approved method for performing the analysis on the required constituents. Upon JCSD's request permittee shall obtain from the laboratory and furnish to the JCSD, laboratory state certification documentation, information regarding test methods and equipment used, including quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) information. Other information that may be deemed necessary by JCSD to determine the adequacy, accuracy, and precision of the results may also be required. 3. Composite Samples — Composite samples shall be collected using an automatic composite sampler. Samplers shall be set up to collect samples only during the hours of discharge during a twenty-four hour period. For example, if an industry operates from 8 AM to 4 PM, only samples collected during that time period should be used for the composite sample. If an industry discharges twenty-four hours per day than all samples collected during the sampling period would be used. The sampler may be set up to collect samples on a flow or time proportional basis. A flow proportional sample is preferable if the sample location is equipped with a flow meter. The sampler collecting a flow proportional sample shall be set up to collect a minimum of ninety-six samples within a twenty-four hour period. If the time proportional sample is to be collected the sampler shall be set up to collect a sample a minimum of every fifteen minutes during a twenty four hour period. 4. Grab Samples — Grab samples are collected over a period of time of less than 15 minutes. Grab samples are required for some types of analysis. For batch dischargers, a grab sample is acceptable for a well mixed batch that is discharged uniformly. Grab samples shall be collected from the location designated by the District. Page 13 Jurupa Community Services District Industrial User Permit: Metal Container Corporation: SARI-EMS-101 Effective Period: 1/1112 — 12131/14 Attachment 1: Self Monitoring Requirements Continued... S. Flow Measurement During Sampling — Flow meter readings must be recorded at the beginning and end of the sampling period to determine mass emission rates. A wastewater flow monitoring device is the preferred method of flow measurement if the facility is equipped with one. If a wastewater flow measurement device is not available meter reads should be recorded from the water meter that provides water service to the facility. Some facilities have a secondary meter that measures the flow that goes to the irrigation system after going through the primary meter. Subtracting the flow going through secondary flow meter from the flow going through the primary flow meter usually provides a reasonable estimate of the discharge to the sewer. If no flow meter readings are recorded, mass emission rates are determined based on the maximum permitted flow. 6. Special Conditions for Total Toxic Organic (TTO) Monitoring — permiftee shall collect and analyze samples of the wastewater effluent for TTO at a frequency specified in the monitoring requirement section of this permit. Their EPA Method number identifies the types of tests required in this same section of the permit. All effluent sampling for volatile organic compounds must be conducted by collecting four independent grab samples during the twenty-four hour monitoring period. Samples are then composited by the laboratory and then analyzed for toxic organic constituents present in the effluent. 7. Special Conditions for Cyanide Monitoring — All sampling for cyanide must be conducted by taking a grab sample of the wastewater after cyanide treatment, but prior to dilution with other wastestreams. If there is no cyanide treatment, the sample must be taken at the end of the cyanide process before dilution with other wastestreams. Proper sampling and preservation techniques must be used to ensure representative sampling results. Page 14 Jurupa Community Services District Industrial User Permit: Metal Container Corporation: SARI-EMS-101 Effective Period: 1/1/12 — 12/31/14 Attachment 2 — Noncompliance Fees and Regulations 1. RESPONSE TO SAMPLE RESULT VIOLATION If after routine sampling, the user is found discharging constituents in violation of the conditions specified in their permit for mass emission rates, concentration, or for other specific conditions, then a subsequent sample of the appropriate type (composite or grab) shall be collected by the user. The completed sample analysis must be submitted to the District within 30 days of discovering that the violation existed. If the second sample indicates noncompliance with discharge requirements, the user shall be subject to noncompliance fees for the monitoring period for which the original sample was collected. 2. MONITORING PRODUCTION INFORMATION ORDER (MPIO) The District may require the industrial user to initiate a Monitoring Production Information Order (MPIO) if two consecutive samples violate the discharge limit for a particular constituent. A MPIO requires fourteen (14) consecutive days of sampling to determine the consistency and degree of non-compliance with permit limitations. If the MPIO reveals that the user remains in noncompliance with permit requirements additional noncompliance fees shall be assessed based upon the results of the MPIO. Any additional costs incurred by the District as a result of the non-compliance may also be recovered by the District from the user. 3. PERSISTENT NON-COMPLIANCE If noncompliance with permit required mass emission rates, concentrations, or conditions persist, the District shall pursue enforcement action against the user in accordance with the District's Enforcement Response Plan. The payment of noncompliance fees shall not bar the District from undertaking enforcement procedures specified in JCSD's Pretreatment Ordinance and the Enforcement Response Plan. 4. NON-COMPLIANCE FEE STRUCTURE The non-compliance fee structure is divided up into three schedules, A, B, and C. The schedules are tiered to institute an escalating level of penalty for persistent non-compliance. The first instance of non-compliance shall result in an assessment of a non-compliance fee based on Schedule A. The second consecutive non-compliance fee shall be based on Schedule B. The third and following instances shall be based on Schedule C.

Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. To evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs, industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type. The inspections were scheduled ahead of time with agency representatives in charge. The agency representatives contacted the key personnel at the various facilities to confirm their availability, describe the scope of the inspection and introduce the audit team. As part of the audit, all four liquid waste hauler(LWH)discharge stations within SAWPXs service area were inspected. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On September 10, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Mountainview Generating Station (MVGS) in Redlands, California. MVGS is owned and operated by Edison International. The facility is permitted by the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (SBVMWD). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether SBVWMD has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges from the MVGS facility comply with the SW ♦ Grau�W ♦ h, ♦ W=k W, ♦ Sla el ♦ GIS ♦ Erg—e ♦ Reme WU ♦ C-Wuc4an Industrial User Inspection Report:Mountainview Generating Station November 1,2012 terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. Site photographs are not provided because photographing the facility is prohibited for security reasons. 1.1 General and Process Description The MVGS facility uses General Electric frame 7FA gas turbines and D-11 steam turbines to produce electricity in a combined cycle power plant. Operation at the plant began in January 2006. In cycle one, air is mixed with natural gas and ignited in four combustion turbines that increases the temperature, velocity, and volume of the gases moving through the unit. The gas flow is then directed through nozzles and across turbine blades that spin and thereby generate electricity. In single-cycle plants, heat from this process is then vented up the exhaust stack. In cycle two, MVGS's combined-cycle design recovers heat by directing it from cycle one to a boiler that produces steam to turn the steam turbines, generating extra electricity from the same amount of natural gas. In this process, two GE F-Class gas turbines are combined with one steam turbine to form a three-turbine train capable of generating 527 megawatts (MW) of power.The plant has two such trains and a total generating capacity of 1,054 MW. MVGS uses three sources of water primarily for cooling tower makeup. Raw water from the mid-aquifer wells (2,296 gallons per minute) and reclaimed water from the City of Redlands (2,297 gallons per minute) are stored in Raw Water Tank 1 and used as makeup water in the cooling towers. In addition, raw water from Deep Wells 1 and 2 is collected in Raw Water Tank V911 (70,000 gallons). Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI) is added and the water then is filtered and used as cooling tower makeup water after the addition of an antiscalant. 1.2 Wastewater Sources Wastewater from the MVGS consists of reject stream from reverse osmosis, direct and treated blowdown from the cooling towers,and wastewater streams from the neutralization system.All turbine wash water is collected and disposed of off-site. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The wastewater treatment plant at MVGS recovers 85% of its wastewater. Blowdown from the cooling towers and backwash from the water treatment plant are first treated in a combined reactor-clarifier. The effluent from the clarifier is then treated using gravity filters, weak-acid cation exchangers, and a high-efficiency reverse osmosis (HERO) system. The permeate from the HERO system is returned to the cooling towers and the reject is discharged into the IEBL. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge MVGS is not permitted to discharge any wastewater to the IEBL other than the reverse osmosis reject stream,treated cooling tower blowdown, direct cooling tower blowdown, and pH neutralization system wastewater. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:MountainAew Generating Station November 1,2012 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS MVGS is classified as a categorical industrial user pursuant to 40 CFR 423.17(Pretreatment Standards for New Sources). Categorical pollutants are required comply with whichever is the most stringent between the local limits for pollutants or the concentration-based standards under 40 CFR, Part 423.17 for steam- electric power generation. Categorical limits apply only to contaminants that result from cooling tower maintenance chemicals. Wastewater is sampled and monitored at Sample Location 001 for compliance with local limits. This sampling point is located near MVGS's industrial water Outfall 001 on the City of San Bernardino Water Reclamation Plant property, near the discharge point to the IEBL. Wastewater is sampled and monitored at Sample Location 002 for compliance with 40 CFR 423.17.This sampling point is located at the MVGS site at the cooling tower blowdown discharge lines, where samples can be collected prior to mixing with any other wastewater discharges. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements No other federal requirements apply to this facility. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The facility's most recent direct-user discharge permit (Permit No. 4E-00-535) was issued by SBVMWD on January 14, 2012. The permit expires on January 27, 2014. The permit contains special conditions related to the Perchlorate in the groundwater used at the plant. Because the mid-level aquifer is contaminated with Perchlorate, the California Energy Commission requires MVGS to use water from this source, along with reclaimed water,for cooling. MVGS recycles its cooling water to reduce the amount of water consumed. The average concentration of Perchlorate in the extracted groundwater is approximately 60 to 90 parts per billion.The wastewater discharged to the IEBL is expected to contain perchlorate at a concentration of approximately 800 to 1,200 parts per billion due to the recycling of water through MVGS's cooling towers and water treatment plant. MVGS met with SAWPA and OCSD several times in 2005, 2006, and 2007 to discuss the perchlorate discharge. Currently, the concentration of perchlorate in the wastewater discharged into the IEBL is acceptable to SAWPA and OCSD. However, SAWPA, OCSD, and SBVMWD have retained the right to revise MVGS's permit and require a long-term contingency plan from MVGS if it is determined that the wastewater constituents from MVGS are causing interference, operational problems,or other problems in SAWPA's or OCSD's sewerage collection or at OCSD's facilities. MVGS's long-term contingency plan may include a proposal for the installation of a pretreatment system and other disposal options regarding the removal of perchlorate or other detected constituents of concern in the wastewater. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 Overall,the MVGS facility was observed to be clean and in good working order. W2622.01T Santa Ana watershed Project Authority Audit 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Mountainview Generating Station November 1,2012 3.2 In the last quarterly report(third quarter 2012),a perchlorate concentration of 0.280 milligrams per liter (approximately 280 parts per billion) was detected. The value is still below the concentration threshold of 800 to 1,200 parts per billion that is acceptable to SAWPA and OCSD. Nonetheless, it is recommended that perchlorate concentrations be monitored and seasonal trends be used to anticipate any rise in perchlorate concentrations.This is particularly important considering that MVGS discharges 432,000 gallons of wastewater per day. 3.3 Part 5, Special Conditions, of the permit states, "SAWPA owns the meter and WMWD will maintain including performing annual calibration. Mountainview Generating Station shall immediately notify WMWD of any concerns or issues." However,the Western Municipal Water District is not the control agency for MVGS,so the permit should be corrected accordingly.

Permittee shall comply with the requirements of OCSD's pretreatment program including,but not limited to OCSD's Wastewater Discharge Regulations, as such regulations may periodically be amended. PART 5-SPECIAL CONDITIONS A. Mountainview Generating Station is authorized to discharge R.O. reject stream, direct cooling tower blowdown, treated cooling tower blowdown, and wastewaters from the neutralization system to the Brine Line, from the facility located at 2492 West San Bernardino Avenue,Redlands,CA 92374. B. Because the mid-level aquifer is contaminated with Perchlorate, the California Energy Commission permit requires Mountainview Generating Station to use this water, along with reclaimed water, for cooling. Mountainview recycles its cooling water to reduce the amount of water consumed. The average concentration of Perchlorate in the extracted groundwater is about 60-90 ppb. It is expected that the wastewater discharged to the Brine Line will contain Perchlorate at approximately 800-1200 ppb due to recycling the water through the cooling towers and water treatment plant. C. Mountainview Generating Station, SAWPA, and OCSD acknowledge that meetings between the three parties have occurred during 2005, 2006, and 2007 to discuss concerns associated with the above-mentioned Perchlorate discharge. Currently, this discharge is acceptable to SAWPA and OCSD. However, if SAWPA/OCSD/SBVMWD determine that wastewater constituents in the sewerage system may cause interference and/or operational problems or other problems in SAWPA's or OCSD's sewerage collection, treatment or disposal facilities, SAWPA/OCSD may revise the Mountainview Permit and require Mountainview to develop a long-term contingency plan. The tone-term contingency Dlan may include a proposal for installation of a pretreatment system and/or other disposal options regarding the removal of Perchlorate or other detected constituents of concem in the wastewater being discharged to the Brine Line. D. Permittee shall reimburse SAWPA, SBVMWD, OCSD for all costs incurred as a result of any enforcement action. E. EMERGENCY CONTACT LIST AND CONTINGENCY PLAN TO CEASE THE DISCHARGE TO THE BRINE LINE 1. The Permittee shall provide SBVMWD, on a Bi-Annual basis (January and July), a list containing the names and phone numbers of contacts who can be reached 24 hours a day in the event of an emergency with the Brine Line discharge. 2. The Pemtittee shall develop and annually (January) submit to SBVMWD a Contingency Plan to either cease discharge to the Brine Line, or reroute the discharge to the local POTW or other approved alternative. 19 EN VfRON M ENTAL ENGINEERING & CONTRACTING, INC.

Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. To evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs, industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at liquid waste hauler (LWH) discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On September 13, 2012, EEC inspected the OLS Energy facility, located at 5601 Eucalyptus Avenue, Chino, California, to evaluate the performance of the facility's regulatory controls. The facility is permitted by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA). NAES Corporation (NAES), a service provider to energy-related infrastructure markets, provides the personnel to operate and maintain the facility. The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether OLS has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. Soa ♦ Grovr ter ♦ P its ♦ Wastewater ♦ Slormwier ♦ GIS ♦ Engincen g Re Wmbon ♦ conswdlm Industrial User Inspection Report:OLS Energy Chino November 1,2012 1.1 General and Process Description The OLS facility is located on the California Institution for Men (CIM) complex. CIM was opened in San Bernardino County in 1941 on 2,500 acres of land. The CIM is a large prison complex that houses four facilities with varying levels of security. Each facility consists of dormitory housing units and educational and recreational activity areas.The CIM complex also includes ancillary facilities that provide water and wastewater treatment, laundry services, central kitchen, and steam and electricity. OLS Energy supplies steam and electricity to the entire CIM complex. The OLS facility was constructed in 1988 and began discharging to the IEBL in March 1988. Photography is forbidden throughout the CIM high-security prison complex,so no site photographs were taken. OLS uses natural gas to drive the on-site turbine engine to generate electricity.The exhaust gas from the turbine is sent to a heat-recovery steam generator that produces high-pressure steam, which is then collected and supplied to a steam turbine that also produces electricity. Steam from the turbine is supplied to the CIM complex.OLS's power-generation system is subject to 40 CFR 423 (Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category). OLS produces up to 30 megawatts per hour (MWh) of electricity and 15,000 pounds per hour of steam. The electricity is fed into the Southern California Edison grid system at a rate of 26 MWh, and 4 MWh are supplied to the CIM complex for on-site consumption. OLS can also operate a stand-by boiler to supply steam to the CIM laundry when the heat-recovery steam generator is not operational. The sources of the water used by OLS consist of reclaimed water from IEUA at the rate of 3 million gallons per month and potable water from the City of Chino at the rate of 5.5 million gallons per month. Incoming water is treated on-site by a demineralizer and a reverse osmosis system. 1.2 Wastewater Sources Process wastewater is produced from boiler blowdown, air scrubber air-pollution control system, ion- exchange water treatment system, reverse osmosis reject water, cooling tower blowdown, and floor drains. All floor drains lead to a sump, and all wastewater streams are collected in a sump prior to treatment and discharge. The cooling tower blowdown is monitored separately from the rest of the wastewater because it is subject to categorical limits. The facility has a separate sewer system connection for sanitary wastewater.OLS connects to the CIM sanitary sewer. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System Wastewater treatment consists of a 10,000-gallon sump,a clarifier,and pH adjustment. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge OLS connects to the IEBL though a lateral connection that is 2.0 miles in length, 1.5 miles of which is owned by OLS. Categorical limits and local limits are properly monitored at two separate sampling locations. Wastewater is sampled at Sampling Location No. 1 for compliance with IEUA limits; this sampling point is located at the outlet of the sump near the neutralization tanks in the southwest corner of the facility. Cooling tower blowdown is sampled at Sample Location No. 2, located in the manhole by Central Avenue,to ensure compliance with categorical limits. W2622.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:OLS Energy Chino November 1,2012 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS The facility is subject to federal categorical standards contained in 40 CFR 423. This regulation defines existing sources as those that began discharging prior to October 14, 1980, and new sources as those that began discharging after this date. The OLS facility began discharging in 1988 and is therefore classified as a new source that is subject to 40 CFR 423.17. The facility must also meet requirements specified in the IEUA-issued permit. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements The facility is classified as a categorical industrial user pursuant to 40 CFR 423. Under 40 CFR 423, industrial dischargers that engage primarily in the generation of electricity with fossil fuels and employ a steam water system are considered categorical industrial users. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the City In addition to the federal and State requirements, the facility is subject to the requirements of IEUA's Non-Reclaimable Wastewater Ordinance, SAWPA's ordinance, OCSD's ordinance, and the IEUA-issued permit. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 Overall,the OLS facility was observed to be clean and in good working order. 3.2 The pH alarm at the cooling towers' pH monitoring station was determined to be in good working condition.

Industrial User Inspection Report Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit Industrial User: RP No. 5 Solids Handling(Environ Strategy Consultants, Inc.) Industrial User Address: 16090 Mountain Avenue, Chino,California 91710 Industrial User Permit Number: SSP019 Industrial User Representatives: Mr. Bob Olson,Maintenance Mr.Alfredo Ferrin Indirect/Direct User: Direct Agency Area: Inland Empire Utilities Agency(IEUA) Agency Representatives: Mr. Kenneth Tam, IEUA Assistant Engineer Mr. Martyn Draper, IEUA Senior Pre-Treatment and Source Control Inspector Mr. Michael Barber, IEUA Pre-Treatment and Source Control Inspector Inspection Date: August 23,2012,Scheduled Inspection EEC/PSI Inspectors: Dr.John R. Parnell, Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering&Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. Industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On August 23, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the RP-5 Solids Handling (Environ Strategy Consultants, Inc.), located at 16090 Mountain Avenue in the City of Chino, California (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 1). The facility is permitted, inspected, and monitored by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA). The inspection was conducted to evaluate Soil ♦ Groundwater • Audits ♦ Waslavaler ♦ Slormwaler ♦ GIS ♦ E,,.,ng Remodialion ♦ Contlrudmn Industrial User Inspection Report:RP No.5 Solids Handling Facility November 1,2012 whether the RP-5 Solids Handling Facility has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. 1.1 General and Process Description This site was originally the sludge processing plant used and owned by IEUA. The land and equipment is still owned by IEUA and is leased to Environ Strategy Consultants, Inc. to operate the RP No. 5 Solids Handling Facility. The RP No. 5 Solids Handling Facility converts food wastes from a variety of different sources into primarily methane gas through a biological digestion process. Liquid and semisolid food waste material is trucked to the site by tanker trucks and discharged into one of three storage tanks with 15,000 gallon of capacity, the tanks are labeled 200, 300, or 400 (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 2). The Food waste material originates from juices (fructose), reverse osmosis, and ultra-filtration reject from Clement Pappas, dissolved air floatation floats from Dean Foods, wash-down from Farmer John, and other sources. The food waste material in the storage tanks is tested for pH and other qualities before being passed to Mixing Tank No. 100 for blending. Blended liquid is fed directly to one of two circular complete-mix digesters that have a capacity of 1.2 Million gallons. Currently,only one digester is in operation. Cow manure and brewery waste are also added to the digester to further enhance the digestion process. The digester can continuously recirculate the food material to the top of the tank from the bottom, halfway up the tank, or two-thirds up the tank using pipes and pumps (Appendix A, Photo 3). In addition, the digester continuously agitates the food material internally by means of a set of rotating fan blades suspended on a central axle shaft. Blended food waste from Mixing Tank No. 100 is directly fed to the digester until the digester is full. Additional feed then continues approximately six times per day in batches of 1,000 gallons at a time. This continuous feed causes approximately 6,000 gallons per day of semisolid digested material to be discharged from the digester.The discharged fluid is heated by the thermo-activity of the bacterial digestion process and is passed through a heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to the material being fed to the digester. In the winter season, a backup boiler may also be used to preheat the digester feed material to speed up the digestion process. The discharged semisolid material is then fed into a large equalization/mixing tank for further processing, including sulfide control by the addition of a hypochlorite solution. From the equalization tank, the material is pumped through a polymer addition system to a 30-gallon- per-minute (gpm) dissolved air floatation (DAF) system located in a receiving building (at present, flow to the DAF unit is 22 gpm. EEC was informed that the unit is too small to handle the projected increased flow and should be replaced with a 100 gpm unit). DAF solids removed from the top of the unit are returned to the digester to maintain bacterial activity and to avoid excessive surcharges due to high total suspended solids (TSS) in discharge to the IEBL. Excess DAF floats can be passed through rotary presses and disposed of as a nonhazardous solid waste.The DAF unit acts solely as an oxidation process, which releases ammonia gas. The BOD concentration is not significantly reduced through this process. DAF effluent passes to a collection pit in the DAF receiving building and is transferred to an outside tank for storage prior to disposal. A refrigerated auto-sampler is located next to the discharge tank, and the strainer on the end of the sample collection line is permanently fixed in the discharge line to the tank. Samples of the discharge are collected daily by the permittee for internal process control. EEC understands that IEUA also samples at this location. W2622.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:RP No.5 Solids Handling Facility November 1,2012 Digester gas produced by the complete-mix biological process is extracted from the top of the digester and passes through an antifoaming system and a condensation trap system to an iron sponge filter.This filter removes any hydrogen sulfide present in the gas, which then passes through a continuous hydrogen sulfide detector. Currently, the remaining gas consisting mostly of methane is burnt off by a continuous flame unit(Appendix A, Photo 4). Eventually, when permits are in place,the methane will be passed to storage tanks. Compressors will increase the gas pressure to 10 pounds per square inch and the pressurized gas will be used to fuel two 1.6-megawatt electrical generators at a rate of 500 cubic feet per minute per generator. Currently, the plant is staffed by five individuals working in shifts from 4:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The digester discharges materials for approximately 12 hours per day.The plant does not operate at night. 1.2 Wastewater Sources Process wastewater consists of the effluent from the DAF unit and rotary presses as described in Section 1.1 above. At the time of the inspection, the startup wastewater used for hydraulic testing of the permittee's equipment referred to in Permit No.SSP019 was no longer being produced. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The complete facility consists of a wastewater treatment system, the process of which is described in Section 1.1 above. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The source of wastewater discharged to the IEBL is described in Section 1.1 above. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS This facility is permitted as a significant industrial user and is not subject to federal categorical standards. Processing of food waste is exempt from the Centralized Waste Treatment Point Source Category at 40 CFR Part 437 as described in 437.1(b)(9). 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements This facility should be classified as a significant industrial user, which is subject to the local limits developed by OCSD. Like any industrial user, the facility must also comply with pretreatment requirements in 40 CFR 403, including but not limited to, national prohibitions in 40 CFR 403.5 and reporting requirements in 40 CFR 403.12. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The permit contains the OCSD-required local limits and other SAWPA limits for surcharge purposes.The IEUA requires the permittee to sample the effluent on a monthly basis from a manhole located on Flower Street as described in Section III B of the permit and illustrated on Appendix B of the permit. There was some confusion as to the manhole sampling point and the discussion of the samples collected in the discharge pipe to the storage tank described above. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:RP No.5 Solids Handling Facility November 1,2012 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The facility was inspected and found to be in clean operating condition. The inspection identified the following issues: 1. The final DAF unit discharge effluent is not continuously monitored for pH. The digestion process will not function in excessively high alkaline or excessively low acidic conditions and a pH of 7 to 8 is constantly maintained in the digester. Any excursion of pH in the digester effluent due to the development of septic conditions could result in acidic conditions in the final effluent.A grab sample for pH is required at each sampling event. 2. Permittee should maintain a written log of pH on an hourly basis(or install a continuous pH recorder)at the discharge point or in the collection pit on the effluent side of the DAF unit. 3. The exact location of the sample point was described by the permittee as the interior of the pipe leading to the final effluent storage tank at the audit. The permit states that the sampling point is a manhole on Flower Street. The exact location of all samples collected to date by both IEUA and the permittee should be further investigated to ascertain if the correct sampling point indicated in the permit is always used or if a revision of the sampling point has been recorded after permit issuance.The January to March 2012 quarterly report from IEUA to SAWPA referred to a future revision of a sampling point, but no further information could be found. 3.2 All exterior tanks, pumps, and associated equipment were found to be in good condition and adequately bermed in case of emergency spills or accidents. 3.3 RP No. 5 Solids Handling Facility holds a direct discharge permit prepared by IEUA, which has been approved for structure and content by both SAWPA and OCSD (Permit No. SSP019, Effective Date:October 19,2011, Expiration date:October 18, 2013). 3.4 The IEUA permit is structured differently than permits issued by the other three agencies and the permit format suggested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency manual, Industrial User Permitting Guidance Manual, dated September 1989.The main body of the permit consists of the standard regulations, and the required monitoring activities are included in Appendix A of the permit.The sampling location is referred to in Section IIIB in the body of the permit between other standard regulations, and a diagram of the location of the sampling point is included in Appendix B of the permit. Since the direct discharge to the IEBL and eventually to OCSD's wastewater treatment plant originates from the permittee's industrial processes, the permit contains OCSD's applicable local limits that apply at the end of pipe discharge point. It is recommended that the permit be revised to conform to the standard format established in the USEPA manual; it is also recommended that all requirements for monitoring be included in the body of the permit rather than in appendices. 3.5 The facility is permitted as a nonsignificant industrial user, but neither the classification nor the rationale for classification (e.g. industrial flow exceeding 25,000 gallons per day) is explicitly stated in the body of the permit. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority 4 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:RP No.5 Solids Handling Facility November 1,2012 3.6 The permit implies but does not explicitly state that the permittee is responsible for effluent sampling and for paying for all required monitoring activities. Effluent sampling is required on a monthly basis. IEUA inspects the facility on a semiannual basis and performs sampling. 3.7 No enforcement procedures were reported to the auditor forthis facility. 3.8 The sampling point should be clearly identified in the permit as well as in the field. This would help ensure that the same sample point is consistently used. Also, IEUA should make sure that the sample collected is representative of the wastewater discharged from RP-5. If a strainer is used to remove solids from the sample, then, the solids in the wastewater should also be removed using the same mesh size strainer. 3.9 In the USEPA Model Ordinance, dated January 2007,a grab sample is defined as "a sample that is taken from a wastestream without regard to the flow in the wastestream and over a period of time not to exceed fifteen (15) minutes." IEUA's facility permit defines a grab sample as an individual sample collected in less than 5 minutes, which is not consistent with the USEPA model. 3.10 Since this facility only accepts food waste and is exempt from the centralized waste treatment regulations in 40 CFR Part 437 (see Section 2.0 above), the permit must contain a section that requires the permittee to provide the IEUA with information, at least 90 days before commencing activities, of any new customer with whom it intends to do business. This will guarantee that no customer from inside or outside of the municipal area is allowed to haul waste to the RP-5 facility without full disclosure to the regulatory agencies of the waste substances involved and the origins of those wastes. This clause should also be included in any future permit developed for any facility that accepts wastes hauled from off-site for processing. 3.11 Photography was not allowed within the facility but some were taken from viewpoints outside the gates of the facility.

Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering&Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. To evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs, industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type. The inspections were scheduled ahead of time with agency representatives. The agency representatives contacted the key personnel at the various facilities to confirm their availability and to describe the scope of the inspection and introduce the audit team. As part of the audit, all four liquid waste hauler(LWH) discharge stations within SAWPA's service area were inspected. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at LWH discharge stations using a commercial liquid-waste hauler permitted by SAWPA.

Industrial User Inspection Report:SBVMWD Liquid Waste Hauler Disposal Station November 1,2012 On August 22, 2012, Environmental Engineering & Contracting, Inc. (EEC) completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (SBVMWD) LWH Disposal Station.The discharge station is located inside the main gate on the grounds of the City of San Bernardino's Wastewater Reclamation Plant (WRP) at 399 Chandler Place, San Bernardino, California 92408 (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 1). The LWH discharge station is permitted by SBVMWD but is operated and managed by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether SBVMWD has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges through the LWH discharge station in San Bernardino comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations,including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. 1.1 General and Process Description The San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District's LWH discharge station provides a discharge point allowing indirect dischargers in the SBVMWD service area or any permitted LWH within the SAWPA service area to indirectly discharge wastewater into the IEBL. The LWH discharge station is located on the same property as the City of San Bernardino's WRP and is composed of a concrete pad and a standalone office and storage complex with an overhanging roof area housing the hauler truck connection to the IEBL (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 2). On the other side of the complex is a hauler truck connection to the septic line that leads directly into the WRP. The hauler truck connection to the IEBL consists of a square metal box structure with a valve and a hauler truck connector protruding from it.A red label affixed to the connector reads, "CAUTION BRINE LINE ONLY"and is referred to in the permit as Outfall 001 (Appendix A, Photos 3 and 4). The connection box is joined to a 6-inch lateral, which joins the IEBL at Reach IV-E. Access to the LWH discharge station is restricted. The truck driver must swipe a security card at the entrance gate and obtain verbal permission from a plant operator who will remotely operate the gate mechanism. A video camera mounted on a post inside the gate continuously monitors all vehicular activity through the access gate. Number plates can be recorded and verified by this means. The truck driver pulls up to the LWH discharge station and gives the three-section waste manifest to the plant operator. The plant operator is required to cross-check the names of the waste generator (Section 1 of the manifest) and the hauling company (Section 2 of the manifest) with a list of approved names pinned on the wall inside the office (Appendix A, Photo 5). Once the plant operator verifies that the generator and the hauler are approved to discharge,the plant operator instructs the truck driver to connect the truck's discharge hose to the IEBL connector. The plant operator then briefly opens and closes the discharge valve to allow a sample of the wastewater to enter the metal box structure.The blue-colored automatic pH meter attached to the wall in the discharge bay reads the pH of the sample and the plant operator checks that the reading is between the 6.0 to 12.0 pH limit set by OCSD (Appendix A, Photo 6). If the pH is outside of the limit range,the plant operator refuses the load and calls the plant supervisor. The supervisor then issues a load reject notice and the other three LWH discharge stations are notified. If the pH is within the limits, the plant operator opens the discharge valve (red handle on Photo 4 of Appendix A) and allows the discharge to the IEBL to begin. A Mag Meter located inside the metal box records the flow rate on the display (center display) attached to the wall of the connection bay and a totalizer(top display) records the total discharge volume in gallons(Appendix A, Photo 6). W2622.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:SBVMWD Liquid Waste Hauler Disposal Station November 1,2012 The plant operator then records the pH; the total flow volume; the operator's name; the date; and the operator's signature on Section 3 of the manifest(Appendix A, Photo 7).The white copy of the manifest is retained by the plant operator for SBMWD files, the yellow copy is sent to the LWH company, and the pink copy is to the generator. The truck driver then shuts the valve and disconnects the discharge hose and leaves the complex through the entrance gate, which opens automatically from the inside of the facility. In some instances, the control authority must collect extra samples of the wastewater discharge from some generators, in compliance with pretreatment regulations. In these cases, the plant operator is instructed which generator discharges to sample by SBVMWD or SBMWD. Records of sampling requirements and other details concerning permittees are written on a board in the plant operator's office (Appendix A, Photo 8). SBVMWD issued a permit (No. 4E-05-557) to SBMWD for emergency effluent discharges from the WRP to the IEBL. However,emergency discharges are allowed only after SAWPA and OCSD have been notified of the necessary emergency procedures. It was not ascertained if an emergency discharge has ever been necessary. By agreement with SAWPA, SBVMWD is responsible for the implementation of the pretreatment program for industries located in its jurisdiction. The SBVMWD is permitted to transport and discharge brine wastewater into the SBVMWD's LWH Disposal Station,which is operated by the SBMWD. 1.2 Wastewater Sources The source of indirect wastewater discharged at the SBVMWD's LWH Disposal Station is wastewater transported from all approved and permitted generators by all approved and permitted hauler companies. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The wastewater is not treated at the SBVMWD LWH Disposal Station. Wastewater is pumped directly into the IEBL and does not undergo any treatment before it reaches the OCSD water treatment facility. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The same wastewater that is received at the LWH discharge station is discharged to the IEBL without any treatment. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS The facility is not subject to any federal categorical standards. The facility is required to meet only the requirements specified in the permit issued by SBVMWD. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements While the facility may not be subject to federal pretreatment requirements, limits that apply to dischargers with categorical standards also apply at this location. W2622.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:SBVMWD Liquid Waste Hauler Disposal Station Noyember 1,2012 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The facility's most recent direct-user discharge permit(Permit No.4E-04-556)was issued to SBVMWD by SBVMWD. As is the case with all four LWH disposal stations within SAWPA's service area, each member agency permits its own LWH discharge station.The station is operated and managed by SBVMWD. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 Overall, the SBVMWD LWH Disposal Station was observed to be clean and in good working order. 3.2 Copies of manifests were reviewed during the inspection. These manifests contained the pH readings and the total flow volumes for each discharge.The manifests were signed and dated by the plant operator and contained other details of the generator and the waste hauler company. The white copy of the manifest was retained by SBMWD, the yellow copy was retained by the waste hauler, and the pink copy was retained by the waste generator. No irregularities were detected with this manifest system, considering the gate-opening requirements and the pre- discharge checking for approved generators and haulers. It is the audit team's opinion that this system is adequate in safeguarding the integrity of the discharges to the IEBL. 3.3 The pH meter and the flow meter were last calibrated by R.S. Instruments and Service on September 12, 2011, and were due for calibration again in September 2012. Annual calibration of the pH meter is insufficient, especially when considering the exposure of the pH probe to highly conductive wastewater. Calibration of the pH meter should refer to manufacturer's specifications for this equipment, and more frequent calibration of the meter should be considered. 3.4 No samples of the wastewater discharged at the LWH discharge station are being collected for analysis by SBVMWD. Part 2A of the permit states that the permittee is not required to monitor wastewater to be discharged to the IEBL.The sampling that occurs at the discharge station is for generator compliance rather than SBVMWD's monitoring. Sampling at the LWH discharge station is critical, and changes to the permit must be made to include a requirement for sampling and testing. The LWH discharge station's compliance with the local limits to which it is subject must be demonstrated. Furthermore, in the case where more stringent categorical discharger limits apply,the LWH discharge station is also subject to these limits. Therefore, it is highly recommended that a regular or random sampling program at the LWH discharge station be implemented, in addition to the sampling at the loading point. Other member agencies have adopted procedures to sample LWH loads at the point of discharge into the IEBL. Once samples are collected, the control agency can then submit the samples for analysis based on suspected loads or random selection. In addition to monitoring compliance with local and categorical limits, the sampling of trucks loads at the LWH discharge stations is recommended because it raises the level of confidence that the LWH does not tamper with the load during transit. 3.S The term liquid waste hauler(LWH)discharge station should be used throughout the permit and other documents because it better conveys that the station is only an intermediate destination before the wastewater is treated at OCSD's treatment facility and subsequently released into the environment. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 4 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:SBVMWD Liquid Waste Hauler Disposal Station November 1,2012 3.6 The SBVMWD LWH discharge station's most recent direct-user discharge permit(Permit No. 4E- 04-S56) was issued to SBVMWD by SBVMWD. In general, self-permitting is not recommended and does not always provide the desired control level to ensure compliance with regulatory controls.

Pollutants shall not exceed the discharge limitations specified in the Discharge Limitation Table(page 5). C. San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD) operates the Track Disposal Station located at SBMWD WRP. By agreement with Valley District, SBMWD is responsible for the implementation of the pretreatment program for industries located in Valley Districfs service area that have been permitted to haul and discharge brine wastewater at the SARI Truck Disposal Station. The current permitted Indirect Dischargers which have their brine wastewater hauled are included in Appendix A. During the period of September 22, 2010 to midnight of September 21, 2012 if any new Indirect Dischargers are permitted to haul and discharge brine wastewater at the SARI Track Disposal Station, Appendix A will be amended to include the new Indirect Dischargers. D. Each of these facilities is permitted by Valley Distrito. The specific discharge limitations for each facility are enforced through the Valley District pretreatment program. The wastewater discharged to the SARI Track Disposal Station is required to meet the Local Limit discharge requirements specified in the Discharge Limitation Table(page 5). E. SBMWD shall not permit the Indirect Dischargers listed in Appendix A to discharge any wastewater not described in Part 1-C or the contents of any process tanks to the SARI Connection which discharges to the SARI System at the SARI Track Disposal Station, at any time, without previously notifying Valley District and SAWPA of the proposed 3 SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT PERMIT NO.4E44-S56 discharge. PART 1 -DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS(Cont) F. Valley District is required to notify SAWPA of any planned process changes or other modifications, which will alter the amount of, or pollutant strength of any wastewater which is discharged to the SARI Connection located at the SARI Truck Disposal Station, 30 days prior to the actual implementation of the changes. G. Copies of the current permits issued by Valley District to each of the Indirect Dischargers listed in Appendix A have been provided and are on file. In addition, a site diagram of the designated sample location at the SARI Truck Disposal Station is included on page 7. H. The SBMWD accepts wastewater at the SARI Truck Disposal Station from 7 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday. The permitted Liquid Waste Hauler (LWH) is required to contact an authorized SBMWD representative prior to initiating any discharge of wastewater at the disposal station. Contact is normally approached through the intercom located at the front gate located off Chandler Place. The LWH is required to inform the SBMWD representative of their intention to discharge wastewater at the SARI Truck Disposal. Surveillance cameras located at the gate will be used to verify the identity of the LWH. Upon verification, the SBMWD representative will remotely open the front gate allowing the LWH access to the WRP. The LWH will immediately proceed to the disposal station and will be met by a SBMWD representative. The SBNfWD representative will review the required manifest form, verify the wastewater is from a permitted IU, and complete a field test to measure the pH of the wastewater. The pH field test results will be entered on the manifest form The SBMWD representative will indicate any abnormal characteristics of the discharge, including peculiar odors or colors,on the manifest form. All loads which exceed the accepted pH range or are determined to be suspect shall not be discharged at the disposal station. The event shall be immediately reported to the BC Section. A representative of the EC section shall report to the disposal station as soon as possible. The EC Section will determine if a second pH field test,to verify the accuracy of the initial test,is warranted and if the load should be rejected. 4 SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT PERMIT NO.4E-04556 DISCHARGE LINIITATION TABLE Categorical Limit Local Limit Maximum Monthly Daily Monthly Daffy for Any 1 Ave.Shag Maximum Average Pollutant Maximum Day not Exceed (LbsJDay) (LbsJDay) ( ) Max.Flow (Capacity Purchased Amount) 2.50 MGD pH' 6.0-12.0 - Biochemvcal Oxygen Demand-SDay(BOD) - 15,000r - Total Suspended Solids(TSS)s - Arsenic 2.0 - - Cadmium(Total) 1.0 Chromium(Total) 10 Copper(Total) 3.0 - Lead(Total) 2.0 Mercury(Total) 0.03 Nickel(Total) 10.0 Silver(Total) 5.0 Zinc(Total) 10.0 Cyanide(Total) 5.0 Cyanide(Amenable) 1.0 - Polycblodnated Biphenyls TCCBg) 0.01 Pesticides 0.01 Total Toxic Organics(170s) 0.59 - - - Sulfide(Total) 5.0 Sulfide(Dissolved) 0.5 - - - - Oil/Grease(Mineral/Pctroleurn° 100.0 1 pll quhffie.Mfive]cg ofbydmgmiau 2 Duly Maximum BODlbsdimbargedmtbe SARI 3 Mro-[ mdy fur aumhp bHbng pmp,. 4 Aa due®vedby US EPAMMod lfi69 fdlowivg wmplete rtmoval of polar OiVGreeae wmpo®da Srnv Ne aempleby ailice gd tdtravon 5 SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT PERMIT NO.4E-04-556 PART 2-MONITORING REQUIREMENTS A.From the period beginning on the effective date of the permit until midnight on September 22,2e12,the nermittee is not rotmired to renedtan the aste to to be disdt d to the SARI System All permitted Indirect Dischargers permitted to dispose of wastewater at the Valley District SARI Truck Disposal Station are required to comply with dwir own monitoring requirements.Based w the samples cogected st the Indirect Dischargers facility,all compliance issues with a non-compliant discharge will be addressed with each permitted Indirect Dischargers.

Industrial User Inspection Report Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit Industrial User: Sierra Aluminum Company Industrial User Address: 2345 Fleetwood Drive, Riverside, CA 92509 Industrial User Permit Number: DS-001 Industrial User Representatives: Mr. Naro Kuch, Environmental Manager Mr. Randal Lunger, Production Supervisor Indirect/Direct User: Indirect Agency Area: Western Municipal Water District(WMWD) Agency Representatives: Mr. Benjamin Burgett,G &G, (Consultants to WMWD) Inspection Date: August 29,2012,Scheduled Inspection EEC/PSI Inspectors: Dr.John R. Parnell, Pretreatment Solutions, Inc. Mr. Najib Saadeh, Environmental Engineering&Contracting, Inc. Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting (EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. Industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type in order to evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at liquid waste hauler (LWH) discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On August 29, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the Sierra Aluminum Company(Sierra) facility located at 2345 Fleetwood Drive, Riverside.The facility is permitted and monitored by the Western Municipal Water District (WMWD; Appendix B, Indirect User Discharge Permit No DS-001). The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether Sierra has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges into the IEBL comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. S .J ♦ Grovna t. ♦ P . ♦ W.aI.w ♦ Slwmw w ♦ GIS ♦ Eng.m , RemaOa4on ♦ Conswdlm Industrial User Inspection Report:Sierra Aluminum Company November 1,2012 1.1 General and Process Description Sierra processes a mixture of primary aluminum ingots,scrap aluminum and secondary aluminum ingots in two industrial induction melting furnaces (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photos 1 to 3). Liquid aluminum is poured into a vertical mold to form 22-foot-long aluminum logs by a process known as direct chill casting. The aluminum logs are then cut into shorter aluminum billets for use in one of three extrusion machines (Appendix A, Photo 4). Aluminum is extruded to form window and door frames for use in residential, commercial, and motorhome applications (Appendix A, Photos 5 and 6). No further processing, such as painting of parts or construction of window or door frames, is performed on-site. Currently, Sierra employs 130 workers.Approximately, a quarter of the employees work on a temporary basis.The plant has adopted three 8-hour shifts and operates 24 hours from Monday through Friday. No expansion of the business is anticipated in the next few years. The Sierra facility began discharging into the IEBL in 1992. 1.2 Wastewater Sources Process wastewater consists of cooling tower blowdown (from the direct chill casting process) and the direct-contact rinse water(used to clean the dies at the end of each production run; Appendix A, Photo 7). The wastewater discharged to the IEBL is therefore a mixture of rinse water from the die cleaning process, which is regulated by 40 CFR 467.36 (Core); cooling tower blowdown from the direct chill casting process, which is regulated by 40 CFR 467.36 (Direct Chill Casting Contact Cooling Water); and unregulated wastewater from the blowdown of cooling towers related to noncontact cooling water for the hydraulic oil in the extrusion machines. Wastewater used to quench a special aluminum alloy in the quench tank is not discharged to the IEBL. Reject reverse osmosis wastewater used for the special aluminum alloy and all domestic wastewaters are discharged directly to the City of Rubidoux sanitary sewer system. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System Wastewater streams from the various sources described above are mixed in the exterior 5,000-gallon waste tank. The evaporator has been removed from the system and final wastewater collects in the outside concentrated wastewater tank (Appendix A, Photo 8). A pH control system causes the wastewater mixture to precipitate out the solid aluminum hydroxide,which settles to the bottom of the tank. Periodically, this precipitate is drained from the bottom of the tank to a filter press that forms a nonhazardous sludge(Appendix A, Photo 9).The sludge is then transported off-site to a landfill. The connection system to the tanker trucks is located four feet above the bottom of the tank so that the wastewater hauled by HazMat Trans Hauling Company (HazMat) to the WMWD LWH discharge station is low in total suspended solids (TSS) (Appendix A, Photo 10). The removal of the aluminum hydroxide was introduced by Sierra in an effort to keep its wastewater disposal costs low. W2622.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Sierra Aluminum Company November 1,2012 1.4 Wastewater Discharge Only the mixture of regulated wastewater streams from the die cleaning and direct chill casting processes and unregulated noncontact wastewater streams from the extruders is discharged to the IEBL. HazMat is the permitted hauler. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS The facility is correctly categorized as a Categorical Industrial User subject to 40 CFR Part 467(Aluminum Forming Point Source Category), Subpart C, (Extrusion Subcategory) Paragraph 467.36 (Pretreatment Standards for New Sources; Existing Source for this category is prior to November 22, 1982). Pretreatment standards are production-based mass limits that are based on the wastewater discharge from the processing of 1 million pounds of aluminum. These standards are different for the core and direct chill casting processes described above. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements The facility is a categorical industrial user (CIU) subject to a federal categorical standard and, therefore, is a significant industrial user. Like any industrial user, the facility must comply with pretreatment requirements in 40 CFR 403, including, but not limited to, federal prohibitions in 40 CFR 403.5 and reporting requirements in 40 CFR 403.12. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The permit contains both OCSD-required local limits and calculated production mass limits as examples of the categorical standards found in 40 CFR 467.36. Each time the samples are collected the actual values of the categorical standards will be calculated using the analytical results, wastewater volumes, and production data supplied by the permittee for the 24-hour period covered by the sampling event. The sample point is a spigot located on the 5,000 gallon Concentrated Wastewater Tank. WMWD issued Permit p DS-001, Effective Date:July 26,2011, Expiration Date:July 25, 2013.The permit was originally prepared by G &G Environmental Compliance, Inc., on behalf of WMWD. The permittee performs quarterly compliance sampling when the first load is hauled each quarter. WMWD also samples quarterly. Monthly sampling is performed for surcharge purposes only. The permittee is required to sample quarterly and monthly for production standards and surcharge parameters, respectively. The Eastern Municipal Water District performs the sampling and G & G Environmental Compliance, Inc., (G & G) performs the inspections on behalf of WMWD on a quarterly basis. G & G uses a spreadsheet to calculate the production limits based on flows and production numbers on the day the sample is collected. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 The Sierra facility was found to be in clean operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Sierra Aluminum Company November 1,2012 3.2 The water treatment system was found to be in good operating condition. No immediate problems were identified. 3.3 Sierra's indirect discharge permit has been approved for structure and content by both, SAWPA and OCSD. Since the indirect discharge to the IEBL and OCSD's Wastewater Treatment Plant originates from the permittee's categorical industrial processes, the Permit must contain both the Categorical Limits which apply at the end of process and OCSD's local limits which apply at the end of pipe discharge point. In this instance, the sample point represents both end of process and end of pipe discharge. 3.4 The monthly sample for May 2011 was not submitted as required. As a result, a notice of violation(NOV)was issued to the facility on July 1, 2011.According to the monthly W MW D LWH discharge station reports submitted to SAWPA,the facility has since been in compliance since. 3.5 As indicated in the diagram included in the permit, the blowdown from the cooling towers that circulates noncontact cooling water to the extrusion presses (to cool the hydraulic fluid) is not subject to regulation. Only contact cooling water streams are subject to the federal regulation. Thus,the reference to heat treatment contact cooling water is incorrect in the permit. 3.6 Sierra is correctly identified as a CIU subject to 40 CFR 467.36 (Core and Direct Chill Casting Production Limits). 3.7 The reference to press heat treatment contact cooling water is incorrect in the spreadsheet and should be removed from the calculation. The heat treatment noncontact cooling water should be monitored and treated as a dilution flow, and a combined waste stream formula should be developed to calculate the applicable limits for the total combined flows from the two regulated sources. The spreadsheet needs to be revised to remove the incorrect data and calculate an appropriate combined waste stream formula.The permittee will have to monitor the flows from each of the three mixing streams to be used in the modified spreadsheet. There are no other categorical operations. 3.8 The sample point on the concentrated wastewater tank described in the permit is both end of pipe and end of process, so all of OCSD's local limits should apply here, as it is the point of discharge to the IEBL via the hauler truck. All local limits should be sampled at least semiannuallyto meet the federal regulations; the current permit does not require that the local limits be sampled. 3.9 The permit does not distinguish between OCSD's total toxic organics (TTO) list and the federal TTO list described in 467.02(q).These two TTO lists contain different pollutant parameters.Also, the permit does not state that the oil and grease analysis may be used instead of the TTO analysis. 3.10 The permit states that a TTO certification is required (presumably in lieu of sampling), but federal regulations do not contain this requirement. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 4 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Sierra Aluminum Company November 1,2012 3.11 The formula used in the calculation of the combined waste stream should be included in the permit, along with an explanation of the various waste streams involved. Production numbers are based on the production of 5,000 gallons of wastewater in the discharge tank at the time of collection by HazMat. The process followed by the permittee for obtaining the production volume for each load is neither clear nor documented. 3.12 In the permit, Note 2 in the discharge limitation table explains what is meant by the average limit. The federal categorical limit should have been included in the table, but was erroneously omitted.G&G Environmental Compliance, Inc. calculates the limit for each regulated constituent by obtaining the production level for the 5,000 gallons of wastewater in the tank; it is not clear how the production number is obtained. 3.13 The actual federal categorical limit should have been included in the discharge limitation table of the permit. Furthermore, the method for the calculation of the categorical limit should be revised. 3.14 The diagram of the wastewater treatment system included in the permit should be modified to reflect the removal of the evaporator system. 3.15 No best management practices were noted.

Report Date: November 1,2012 1.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE On behalf of the Orange County Sanitary District(OCSD), Environmental Engineering& Contracting(EEC) performed an inspection of selected industrial users discharging into the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL; formerly known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor, SARI). This inspection is part of an audit of the pretreatment programs of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and its member agencies. To evaluate the performance of the pretreatment programs, industrial users were selectively inspected based on volume of wastewater discharged and/or industry type. The inspections were scheduled in advance with agency representatives in charge.The agency representatives contacted the key personnel at the various facilities to confirm their availability and to describe the scope of the inspection and introduce the audit team. As part of the audit, all four liquid waste hauler (LWH) discharge stations within SAWP9s service area were inspected. The current evaluation is one of a series of inspections of direct and indirect dischargers into the IEBL. Direct dischargers are typically close enough to construct a direct connection to the IEBL and produce enough waste to economically justify the connection cost. Indirect dischargers generate waste streams that are high in total dissolved solids and are not located close enough to the IEBL to make a direct connection. In general, the volume of wastewater discharged at LWH discharge stations varies. The quantity of liquid waste discharged at these stations can vary from one or two truckloads per week to 100,000 gallons per day in some cases. Liquid waste from indirect dischargers is disposed of at discharge stations using a permitted commercial LWH permitted by SAWPA. On September 10, 2012, EEC completed a performance evaluation of the regulatory controls at the liquid-waste collection station located at the City of Corona Water Reclamation Facility No. 1 (Appendix A, Site Photographs, Photo 1). The collection station is permitted, operated, and managed by the Western Municipal Water District(WMWD).The inspection was conducted to evaluate whether SAWPA has developed and implemented sufficient measures to ensure that discharges through the LWH SW ♦ GmurM ,, ♦ A . ♦ Waela .r ♦ Slor Ir ♦ GIS • E,..,, RamB ,. ♦ Con6 d.. Industrial User Inspection Report:Western Municipal Water District Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 discharge station in Corona comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable agreements and regulations, including OCSD ordinances and 40 CFR 403. 1.1 General and Process Description The sole purpose of the WMWD LWH station is to be a discharge point to allow indirect dischargers in the WMWD or any permitted LWH within the SAWPA service area to indirectly discharge wastewater into the IEBL. The discharge point is designated as Outfall 001 and consists of a 15-inch lateral connection from the LWH discharge station to the IEBL(Appendix A, Photos 2 and 3). Access to the station is restricted. Prior to entering the City of Corona Water Reclamation Facility No. 1, the LWH truck driver must enter a security code to open the main entrance gate (Appendix A, Photos 4 and 5). Once inside the facility, the truck driver must enter another security code on the Programmable Logic Control (PLC) and stamp the date and time of entry on the manifest (Appendix A, Photo 6). A unique security code is assigned to each LWH company. The system provides a record of each waste load and the date and time the code is entered.The valve to the IEBL then opens and the driver starts discharging the load into the manhole. The valve allowing flow into the IEBL is designed to stay closed unless a recognized code is entered by an authorized LWH (Appendix A, Photo 7). After every discharge, fresh water automatically flushes the line and cleans the pH probe. If the pH meter detects a pH value outside the permitted range of 6.0 to 12.0, the valve will close, an alarm will sound, and a red light will start flashing(Appendix A, Photo 8). If the pH of a load is detected to be outside of the permitted range, the LWH is issued a Rejected Load Notice and all member agencies are immediately notified. Storm water collects around Outfall 001 but water cannot flow into the IEBL as long as the automatic valve remains closed. Once the truck is emptied, the driver deposits the manifest in a designated receptacle (Appendix A, Photo 9). A WMWD representative collects the manifests at the beginning and at the end of each week and delivers them to G&G Environmental Compliance, Inc. (G&G).WMWD has retained G&G to assist in managing WMWD's pretreatment program related to the IEBL. When preparing the monthly invoice for each indirect user, G&G personnel verify that for each discharge, the corresponding manifest is accounted for. Instructions for operating the valve are posted in English and Spanish next to the PLC board inside the facility(Appendix A, Photo 10). Procedures for sampling and testing of discharged wastewater do not include any sampling of loads at the point of discharge.Samples are collected only at the site from which the wastewater originates. The service area of the WMWD collection station in Corona comprises the area under the jurisdiction of the WMWD. By agreement with SAWPA, WMWD is responsible for the implementation of the pretreatment program for industries located in its jurisdiction and permitted to transport and discharge brine wastewater into the LWH discharge station. The industries currently permitted to transport wastewater to the WMWD LWH discharge station are listed under Attachment A of the Direct User Discharge Permit for the WMWD LWH discharge station (Appendix B, Direct User Discharge Permit No. 4B-06-S60). W2622.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 2 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Western Municipal Water District Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 1.2 Wastewater Sources The source of the wastewater is the wastewater transported by the LWHs and discharged at OutfaI1001. 1.3 Facility Process Wastewater Treatment System The wastewater is not treated at the LWH discharge station. It flows by gravity through the IEBL and does not undergo any treatment before it reaches the OCSD water treatment facility. 1.4 Wastewater Discharge The same wastewater that is received at the LWH discharge station is discharged into the IEBL without any treatment. 2.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL CATEGORICAL STANDARDS The facility is not subject to any federal categorical standards. The facility is required to meet only the requirements specified in the permit issued by WMWD. 2.1 Compliance with Other Federal Pretreatment Requirements While the facility may not be subject to federal pretreatment requirements, limits that apply to dischargers with categorical standards also apply to this location. 2.2 Compliance with Local Limits and Actions by the Agency The facility's most recent direct-user discharge permit (Permit No. 4B-06-S60) was issued to WMWD by WMWD. As is the case with all four liquid-waste collection stations within SAWPA's service area, each member agency permits and monitors its own collection station. 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 3.1 Overall,the WMWD LWH discharge station at the City of Corona Water Reclamation Facility No. 1 was observed to be clean and in good working order with one exception (see Section 3.2 below). 3.2 During the inspection, the red alarm light was flashing but neither the WMWD representative nor the water reclamation facility workers nearby had any information on the cause of the triggered alarm or the time that the red light started flashing. 3.3 In the WMWD permit, the facility where the LWH discharge station is located is referred to as the "City of Corona's Water Treatment Plant No. 1" instead of the "City of Corona Water Reclamation Facility No. L" 3.4 No documentation was provided verifying that the automatic valve would close if the pH value were out of the compliance range of 6.0 to 12.0. Part 1, H of the permit requires that WMWD submit a quarterly report to SAW PA verifying the proper functioning of the valve. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 3 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Western Municipal Water District Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 3.5 No documentation was provided verifying the proper operation of software at the LWH discharge station. Part 1, 1 of the permit requires that WMWD submit a quarterly report to SAWPA verifying the proper functioning of the software. According to SAWPA, the City of Corona staff monitors the software performance but the monitoring is not documented. 3.6 No documentation was provided as evidence that WMWD is conducting annual training for all of the permitted liquid-waste haulers. Part 1, L of the permit requires that WMWD review and conduct annual training for all permitted LWHs to review the safeguards, procedures, and recordkeeping requirements. SAWPA provided a list of the attendees at a meeting/training held on April 23, 2009. SAWPA also informed EEC that new LWHs receive individual training at their primary LWH discharge station, but no records of such training were provided. 3.7 No valid records were provided on the meter calibration. Part 5—D.3 of the permit requires that WMWD calibrate the meter annually; the permit does not specify whether the meter to be calibrated is the pH meter or the flow meter. SAWPA provided quarterly field service reports for the calibration of a pH meter but the reports are all dated October 2, 2012, for service performed in October 2011, January 2012, April 2012, and July 2012. The reports indicate that the work was performed for the City of Corona's Department of Water and Power and the billing address used is the actual address for the City of Corona's Department of Water and Power offices. Furthermore, the Certificates of Instrument Performance corresponding to the service reports are not signed by an authorized service representative. As for the flow meter calibration, SAWPA provided three flow meter verification certificates, but the certificates were not dated or signed. The certificates require two signatures: one from the operator and one from the inspector;however,the certificate was not signed by either party. 3.8 Manifests are not collected in a secure location and are not protected from the elements. The manifests serve as a record of each shipment's chain of custody. When the waste shipment is finally delivered to the permitted waste management facility,the receiving facility must sign the manifest, retain a copy as a record, and return a signed copy to the generator who originated the shipment. This process closes the accountability circle and enables the generator to verify that the shipment reached its final destination. Manifests must be better protected at the collection station to avoid the loss of or damage to manifests. 3.9 No samples of the wastewater discharged at the LWH station are being collected. Part 2 of the permit states, "permittee is not required to monitor wastewater to be discharged to the IEBL System." However, sampling at the LWH station is essential and changes to the permit must be made to make sampling and testing a requirement. The LWH station is subject to local limits and compliance with these limits must be demonstrated. Furthermore,the LWH station is also subject to more stringent limits, where they apply, for categorical dischargers. Therefore, in addition to the sampling at the loading point,a regular or random sampling program at the LWH station must be implemented. Other member agencies have adopted procedures to sample LWH loads at the point of discharge into the IEBL. Once samples are collected, the control agency can then submit the samples for analysis based on suspected loads or random selection. In addition to monitoring compliance with local and categorical limits,sampling of wastewater on trucks at the LWH stations increases confidence that the LWH does not tamper with the load during transit. W2422.01T Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority Audit 4 EEC Industrial User Inspection Report:Western Municipal Water District Liquid Waste Hauler Discharge Station November 1,2012 3.10 Under the Permit Special Conditions Part S.D.3, the Dart Container Corporation is required to immediately notify WMWD of any concerns or issues. Dart Container Corporation is a permitted direct discharger located approximately 1.0 mile from the LWH discharge station. It appears that the direct discharge permit was prepared using Dart Container Corporation's industrial user permit as a template, rather than a clean template,and not all required changes were made. 3.11 Terms referring to the station are not consistent throughout the permit document. Typically, "collection station' is used, but at least in one instance the term "truck dump station'was used. Furthermore, instructions posted on-site, such as valve operating instructions and emergency contact information, refer to the station as "dump station" or "truck dump station." The term "liquid waste hauler discharge station" should be used throughout because it better represents that the station is only an intermediate destination before the wastewater is treated at OCSD's treatment facility and subsequently released into the environment. The term dump is more suitable for waste destined for a landfill and does not relay the importance of compliance to ultimately protect both the IEBL and the OCSD watertreatment facility. 3.12 The WMWD LWH discharge station's most recent direct-user discharge permit (Permit No. 4B- 06-560; Appendix B) was issued to WMWD by WMWD. In general, self-permitting is not recommended and, as reflected in the findings described above, does not always provide the desired control level to ensure compliance with regulatory controls. In addition, no records of quarterly monitoring of the collection station were submitted as required in Part 3.13 of the permit.
