GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1) Approve the Five-Year Strategic Plan dated November 2009; and,
2) Direct staff to implement goals and strategies contained in the Plan.
SUMMARY
The strategic plan has been updated for 2010 and contains a summary of
accomplishments over the past year as well as levels of service and new goals. The
plan includes OCSD's mission, vision and core values and does not carry any additional
costs associated with the new goals.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 19, 2008: Five-Year Strategic Plan update approved
November 28, 2007: Five-Year Strategic Plan adopted.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Strategic Plan Update Process
In 2007, the Board of Directors held a series of workshops to develop a Five-Year
Strategic Plan containing not only goals and levels of service, but also updated
statements of mission, vision and core values. The three month process culminated in
adoption of a new plan in November 2007. The plan was updated with new goals in
November 2008 following a strategic planning workshop.
To update the plan for 2010, the executive management team met in July 2009 to
discuss preliminary ideas and suggestions for updates to the plan. These suggested
goals were discussed at a joint meeting of department heads and managers in August.
Following this meeting, the issues were distilled into four new goals proposed for the
next five years. Staff drafted one-page issue papers for each goal that were presented
to the Board of Directors.

Board Input
On October 21, the Board of Directors participated in a workshop to discuss the four
new goals. The well-attended meeting generated some comments and questions.
While the discussion did not yield any new goals or significant modification of existing
plans, several board members had comments and questions. A summary of the
comments (and staff responses) is presented below:
Goal 1—Leadership Development. There was board consensus on this item with the
suggestion that if the program is successful, consideration be given to opening the
program to participation by other Orange County agencies.
Goal 2—Communications. After much discussion about the need for and scope of a
branding initiative proposed by staff, the Board reached consensus support for recasting
this goal as a communications initiative that would refresh and refocus existing outreach
materials, explore emerging social media technology, and upgrade the website.
Goal 3—Chemical Sustainability. There was board consensus for moving forward on
this goal with a request to include measurable goals and benchmarks in the chemical
sustainability plan.
Goal 4—Cost Recovery. There was board consensus on this goal. Board Members
requested that the GAP water project be included in the review and that OCSD continue
to maintain its leadership role in regional issues such as the FOG (fats, oil, grease)
control program and regional organizations such as the Southern California Coastal
Water Research Project.
Finally, the Board asked staff to continue with implementation of the Cooperative
Projects Program to help local agencies correct sewer infiltration problems. Staff noted
that while the program will end this year, we will consider worthwhile projects on a case-
by-case basis as they are brought to our attention by local agency sponsors.
Continual Improvement
In addition to the new goals (marked "new" in the plan) there are some other minor
changes from last year's plan. One outdated level of service target for the collection
system was deleted and the level of service lost work day rate target value was made
more stringent.
Overall, the updated Strategic Plan continues OCSD's goal of moving from good to
great through annual assessments and incremental changes. Each year, the Board will
be asked to provide strategic leadership and guidance to District staff for setting goals
and levels of service.
The Steering Committee and Board are asked to adopt the new Five-Year strategic
plan, which contains no new costs and will help guide the strategic direction of the
organization and staff.

MESSAGE FROM
THE GENERAL MANAGER
The past year has indeed been a challenge not only for the Orange County
Sanitation District, but our entire state and the country.The economic times we
continue to face, including the State of California borrowing$5 million in OCSD -
ratepayer dollars have made 2009 quite a year.Yet,throughout it all, we remain
as committed as ever to our core mission of providing the highest levels of
service to our customers while protecting our quality of life, public health and
the environment.
OCSD's success is due to the strength of the people serving this fine organization,
particularly our Board of Directors providing strategic leadership and our staff who keep things running
smoothly to make every day possible.
When I joined this organization is 2006, one of my top priorities was charting a course of success with a
dynamic strategic plan. In November 2007, our staff presented a new five-year plan to the Board of
Directors, built around our new Mission,Vision and a set of Core Values that define what we do, who we
are and whom we serve. We are in the third year of the original plan and I am proud to report that we
continue to refine existing goals, add new ones and set levels of service that support our overall Mission.
We are constantly monitoring our progress, striving to do better and being ever mindful that we serve
the public and must maintain their trust. Given the backdrop of our challenging times,the 2010 Strategic
Plan update focuses on being prepared for the future.
Since 2007,we have completed over 50 percent of our goals. Last year, we added five new goals and
this year, we are adding four. As I step back and look over our accomplishments of the past year, passing
a sound financial plan for five years; continuing our aggressive capital improvement program injecting
$1 million per day into Orange County's economy; and the successful dedication of the Steve Anderson
Lift Station to support the Groundwater Replenishment System; I am confident that our Board and staff
will continue to strive for excellence and maintain an eye towards future challenges.
Our new goals add no new costs to our budget and I know our staff, at the Direction of our Board, will
continue to push for greater efficiencies. I look forward to a thoughtful discussion with Board of
Directors and staff on these important issues.
Respectfully submitted,
James D. Ruth
General Manager

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In November 2007,the Board of Directors adopted a new comprehensive strategic plan to steer OCSD's
efforts and engage the organization to envision service levels and operational needs for the
next five years.
This year,the Strategic Plan is being updated to continue looking at a five-year horizon. Following a
similar process to last year's update,the General Manager's Office initiated the planning effort with the
Executive Management Team,then solicited input and ideas from managers and supervisors. In October
2009,the staff-generated ideas were presented to the Board of Directors during a workshop, where
Board Members discussed and deliberated changes and additions to the plan.
Driven by our Mission,Vision and Core Values,this Strategic Plan, updated for 2010, continues our
aggressive efforts to meet the sanitation, health, and safety needs of the more than 2.5 million people
we serve while protecting the environment where we live.
In the past year, over 50 percent of the goals were completed. For 2010, this Strategic Plan presents
four new goals and maintains the high standards set in the previous plans.
These new goals were discussed at the October 21 Board of Directors workshop and include the
following:
• Providing Ongoing Leadership Development
• Updating OCSD's Current Communications Program
• Assessing and Mitigating the Risks of Chemical Supply Shortages
• Full-Cost Recovery
This Strategic Plan continues to chart a focused roadmap of success for the future of the Orange County
Sanitation District. It addresses critical issues and challenges and communicates clear and concise future
direction to OCSD staff.

planning resources would be used to create a unified Strategic Plan.The graphic below shows the
relationship of these resources and how they relate to the overall structure and execution of the plan.
The planning efforts start with the Board of Directors setting overall policy for the District.

OVERVIEW
Since 1954, the Orange County Sanitation District has provided wastewater treatment to the residents
and businesses of northern and central Orange County and is the third largest wastewater treatment
agency west of the Mississippi River. During fiscal year 2008-2009, OCSD collected,treated and disposed
over 200 million gallons of wastewater every day. OCSD also recycled 100 percent of its biosolids and
reclaimed over 80 million gallons per day.
In July 2002, the Board approved disinfecting the effluent _
and proceeding with the planning, design, and construction i
p g p g, g
of facilities that will ultimately allow OCSD effluent to meet - - r—
Federal Clean Water Act secondary treatment standards. r
The current disinfection program includes over$5 million ' °
annually for chemicals, while the estimated capital
construction cost to meet secondary treatment standards is
$649 million. OCSD is currently in the midst of a $2.6 billion, ``'`;'.. =
20-year capital improvement program with an annual
capital budget of nearly$300 million.
Reclamation Plant No. I in Fountain Valley
In addition to OCSD's partnership in the Groundwater
Replenishment System and secondary treatment expansion,
our capital improvement program includes critical
rehabilitation of aging collection systems and treatment
plant facilities, and upgrades to provide enhanced odor
control and reduced air emissions.
Against this backdrop of challenging issues, and to meet
the large and complex needs of providing services to over
2.5 million people in the most effective and efficient way _
possible,the strategic planning process began in 2007 to
continually map a five-year strategy. Treatment Plant No.2 in Huntington Beach
Beginning with gathering input from the staff,with the
leadership of the Board of Directors, OCSD developed its mission, vision, and values to allow all levels of
the organization to take ownership in the strategic planning process.
The original plan, along with OCSD's mission,vision and values was adopted in November 2007.
For this update, the Executive Management Team once again developed ideas seeking input from
managers and supervisors and presented four new goals for discussion by the Board of Directors.
In the past year, several goals were completed by staff in the areas of climate change, engine emissions,
information technology, biosolids, and leadership development.

RISK REGISTER
The Risk Register is a compilation of the various risks facing the Orange County Sanitation District, as
seen by the District's management team. The 2009 Risk Register update came at a time of global
turmoil, with a worldwide financial crisis starting in late 2008, a pandemic flu spreading, and deep cuts
being made in state government, and other challenging events. Not surprisingly, management came up
with a variety of risks that they perceived. In addition, in this update, management was asked to also
identify opportunities—items that had an "upside"—where the risk was that the opportunity might be
missed.
The 2009 Risk Register Update identified these as the top risks:
• Financial stability given stresses—refers to the risk of reduction of the Sanitation District's
financial strength during a time of financial turmoil.
• Disaster and aftermath—refers to natural disasters and their consequences, such as the need
for business continuity,with earthquakes being the most-frequently mentioned natural disaster.
• Staffing shortages—refers to the need to attract qualified and trained operators, mechanics and
engineers to the Sanitation District at a time of constrained budgets and fiscal uncertainty.
• California state bankruptcy—refers to the potential insolvency of the state and its impact upon
the Sanitation District.
• Construction challenges—refers to the challenges facing the Sanitation District as it manages a
$2.6 billion capital improvement program and strives to meet the 2012 consent decree deadline
for secondary treatment.
The top opportunities for the 2009 Update are:
• Better focus on mission—the opportunity to define more clearly the role of the Sanitation
District
• Chance to hire good people—the opportunity to find and hire competent and experienced
people during a time when many are available.
• Favorable project bidding environment—refers to the opportunity to get good bids on projects
during a time when very competitive bids are coming in
• Develop disinfection plan—opportunity to optimize and possibly reduce the usage of chemicals
as the Sanitation District engages in capital improvements.
Staff is in the process of developing plans to mitigate the identified risks and exploit the opportunities.
For example, this strategic plan puts forth a strategy to better communicate the role of the Sanitation
District, and proposes a plan to achieve long-term sustainability for the supply of chemicals used in the
collection and treatment process.

Providing Ongoing Leadership Development
Why is this issue important to the District?
As baby boomers begin to retire in significant numbers over the next five years, the nation's workforce
will begin to experience a shortage in qualified leaders. OCSD will be impacted by this trend as well. For
example, by 2015 around half the current managers and supervisors will be eligible for retirement.
While the District has pursued an aggressive strategy to strengthen and grow future leaders through its
Profession of Management and Leadership Academy programs, this clearly will not be enough.
By next year all management staff will have completed these programs and the Succession Management
program will be fully established. However,these tools are only a foundation and in order to maintain
a world-class organization,the District needs to take its leadership development to the next level. A
broader leadership development program needs to be implemented to identify and train future leaders.
Goals
• Identify key employees that will lead OCSD into the future.
• Define and build upon the essential qualities needed to develop successful leaders for OCSD's
future.These qualities will focus on dealing with change, motivating others, enhancing morale and
promoting productivity and job satisfaction, among others.
• Identify what other organizations are doing and what incentives and training might be needed to
build a talented and stable leadership team.
• Develop a new model for addressing OCSD's operational, environmental regulatory and leadership
priorities in an era of limited resources and greater public scrutiny.
Desired outcome
• Maximize the development of a pool of dedicated and talented employees ready to lead OCSD
into the future.

November 2009
Updating OCSD's Current Communications Program
Why is this issue important to the District?
The District is involved in many important activities and programs that directly affect the lives
of millions of people and the environment.Yet,the logo and tools the District is using to communicate
with our ratepayers, including its current fact sheets, and other important informational resources are
out-of-date. As OCSD receives more press attention and reaches more students and constituents
through tours, speaking engagements and classroom lectures, it is critical that the materials we use are
consistent and current.This communications initiative will refresh, refocus and redesign the tools and
programs used on a daily basis.
In addition to the need to refresh our logo and communications program,this initiative will help OCSD
when competing for grant and appropriation funding for future programs and projects and in our
recruiting efforts as we attempt to attract and retain a talented workforce.
Goals
• Refresh or update logo
• Update core communications materials such as letterhead, and information sheets.
• Refocus and redesign all electronic and printed materials to be consistent with one another and
consistent with OCSD's mission,vision and values.
• Create a new policy and standards manual to ensure compliance and a consistent use
throughout the agency.
Desired outcome
• To create a more refreshed, refocused, redesigned and consistent logo and communications
program enabling OCSD to more effectively inform and educate visitors, students, ratepayers,
stakeholders and employees.
25
November 2009
Assessing and Mitigating the Risks of Chemical Supply Shortages
Why is this issue important to the District?
OCSD uses large volumes of several chemicals to mitigate odors, enhance primary settling of solids,
reduce bacteria formation in the activated sludge plants, flocculate solids to enhance dewatering,
and disinfect and then dechlorinate the effluent prior to discharge into the receiving waters.These
wastewater treatment chemicals play a critical role in protecting public health and the environment.
OCSD and other large wastewater treatment agencies require large volumes of chemicals that can only
be provided by one supplier or a very limited number of suppliers.All of these large agencies have also
experienced price increases and chemical shortages in recent years.
Goals
• Investigate the domestic and global chemical markets for typical wastewater and odor chemicals.
• Identify possible causes of disruptions in the chemical supply chain.
• Identify potential temporary suppliers capable and willing to provide chemicals during shortages.
• Identify viable alternative chemicals that can be substituted for current OCSD chemicals during
shortages.
• Identify not only the procurement costs, but the transportations costs, of possible temporary or
alternative chemical procurements.
• Identify quality control assurances of chemicals procured outside the country.
Desired outcome
• Develop a Chemical Sustainability Plan that provides OCSD with options for obtaining wastewater
treatment chemicals during chemical shortages, emergencies or complete stoppages.
26
November 2009
Full-Cost Recovery
Why is this issue important to the District?
The District has several existing agreements with external agencies including the Santa Ana
Watershed Project Authority(SAWPA) and the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) which were originally
signed in the 1970's and 1980's.There are other existing agreements signed between these agencies
in the last 20 years.
When many of these agreements were signed,the District often provided funds and resources to assist
other agencies in improving the water quality and health of the citizens of the watershed. In this pursuit,
OCSD allowed benefits to agencies without fully developing an equitable cost-sharing model. While this
was well-intended and generated results,the District's mission was overly broad. Now,through a series
of more focused efforts, OCSD has developed a mission-specific Strategic Plan with detailed goals and
objectives.
The combination of the District's new enhanced strategic focus, more stringent regulatory
requirements (Federal Clean Water Act secondary treatment standards) and new economic realities
(economic environment in general and requirements of Proposition 218), OCSD must review its
external agreements and ensure that these agreements provide full cost recovery from the agencies
with which it does business.
District staff has already began working with these agencies to ensure the District is recovering the
full costs of services provided.
Goals
• Continue to meet with SAWPA and IRWD staff for consensus or agreement
on major issue resolution.
• Continue to include future planning issues that may impact new agreements.
• When possible, consolidate small agreements into more comprehensive future agreements.
• Negotiate new agreements that ensure all agencies are paying a fair share for services
provided by the District.
Desired outcome
• Finalize agreements that are comprehensive and agreeable to all agencies and ensure a
fair share for District services.

Groundwater Replenishment System
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
The Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD) has shared in construction costs for Phase 1 of the
Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) System with the Orange County Water District (OCWD), each
agency paying equal shares of 50 percent.The first phase has been constructed to reclaim up to 70
million gallons per day(mgd) of water, and will defer the need for OCSD to construct a new ocean
outfall. Ultimate planning for the GWR System allows for reclaiming up to 130 mgd.The major GWR
System pipelines and other components have been sized to accommodate this expansion; however, the
advanced water purification facilities are sized for 70 mgd. OCSD has not committed additional funding
for expanding the GWR System beyond the present phase.
The GWR System began operation in January 2008, and is presently producing about 45 mgd of product
water, reducing OCSD's ocean discharge flow from 225 mgd to 180 mgd. Completion of the Steven
Anderson Lift Station (formerly Ellis Avenue Pump Station) will increase the amount of treated
secondary effluent(specification water) available to the OCWD, allowing GWR System production to
increase to near 70 mgd.
Goals
• Continue to strive for 104 mgd supply of specification water for reclamation with no planned OCSD
capital cost contribution for expansion of the GWR System;
• Complete construction of Steven Anderson Lift Station in the fourth quarter of FY 2008-09 and
• Continue to study the potential for treating flow from the Santa Ana River Interceptor at
Reclamation Plant No. 1 to increase the supply of specification water for reclamation.
Desired Outcome
• Maximizing the production of GWR System product water to augment and protect the Orange
County groundwater basin with a goal of 70 mgd of product water by the end of FY 2008-09.
29
November 2009
Disinfection of Final Effluent
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
OCSD began disinfection of our treated effluent in 2002 in response to two factors:
• concern from the public that our effluent might be the cause or contributing to elevated
bacteria levels in Huntington State Beach and
• ocean monitoring data suggesting that on at least one occasion our effluent plume had come to
within % mile of the Newport Pier.
Since 2002 evidence has shown that OCSD's effluent was not the source of shoreline bacteria in
Huntington Beach and that our plume is not coming to shore and creating a public health concern.
The annual budget for adding chlorine to the effluent for disinfection and sodium bisulfite to remove
most of the chlorine before discharging to the ocean is approximately$7.0 million. Since OCSD's
facilities were not originally designed with disinfection in mind, there are physical constraints to
operating in an efficient manner.
In 2006, staff believed that it was prudent to have an independent review of our disinfection program to
determine if it is meeting the intended purpose of protecting public health in a cost-effective manner
and not increasing risks to the marine environment.The independent review panel was composed of
nine members including a medical doctor, a wastewater engineer, a marine ecologist, a regulator, and a
chemist among others.
Goals
• Through the National Water Research Institute (NWRI), commission a panel of experts to review
OCSD's disinfection program and provide feedback and recommendations;
• Obtain final recommendations from the NWRI Panel on the appropriateness of our current
disinfection program and alternatives that should be considered and
• Develop and implement strategies for responding to the recommendations including demonstration
testing, regulatory approval and outreach to stakeholders.
Desired Outcome
• Cost effective program to sustain protection of public health associated with bacteria
in our effluent.
• Acceptance of any changes to our disinfection program by regulators, public and stakeholders.

November 2009
Environmental Footprint Initiative
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
The issue of global climate change is gaining considerable interest from both the public and policy
makers. As a public agency chartered with the mission to protect public health and the environment,
OCSD should demonstrate leadership in this area. Moreover, wastewater operations consume large
amounts of energy and produce green house gases (GHG). Despite the scientific disagreements about
climate change, policy makers are addressing the issue.There are many opportunities for OCSD to also
address these issues and shrink our environmental footprint.
Goals
• Calculation of the environmental footprint of OCSD's facilities;
• Develop outreach materials describing green initiatives undertaken by OCSD;
• Evaluate additional initiatives that the OCSD Board should consider;
• Evaluate information from OCSD's research program on emerging green technologies and
• Maximize the use of renewable fuels (digester gas).
Desired Outcomes
• Greater awareness of OCSD's sustainable initiatives;
• Reduction in OCSD's environmental footprint through immediate greenhouse gas reduction
measures and
• A plan for implementing future sustainable initiatives.
31
November 2009
Updating OCSD's Risk Register
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
Many leading organizations are formally applying risk management processes to identify and manage
risks across many aspects of their business.The formalization of risk management processes is a logical
step towards increased accountability and transparency placed on the Board and District management.
In February 2006, strategic level risk assessment and mitigation workshops were completed by OCSD's
Executive Management Team and District Managers. In May 2008,the register was updated to include
additional information and to ensure alignment with current strategic plan.
Assessment of these risks and their potential impacts must be identified, reviewed and mitigated in
alignment with OCSD's Strategic Plan.
Goals
• Identify and assess strategic and organization-wide risks facing OCSD (including technical,
regulatory, financial, and political) and to develop a high level risk register;
• Identify mitigation measures that OCSD currently has in place;
• Propose additional mitigation measures that OCSD considers appropriate to manage;
• Review of risk register to ensure it represents a balanced portfolio of the risks and that the
mitigation strategies are appropriate;
• Develop a plan to monitor the effect of mitigation strategies to ensure that controls are
in place and effective;
• Develop a formal reporting process to the Board that includes possible revisions to the
overall risk profile;
• Develop protocols to provide assurance to stakeholders that in the annual strategic business plan
processes are in place to manage risks organization wide and
• Develop an action plan of responsibilities and timeframes for follow-up.
Desired Outcome
• An update of the Risk Register including mitigation strategies (current and proposed)
responsibilities, and timeframes.
32
November 2009
Human Resources Strategic Plan
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
Human Resources (HR) management has become more complex, evolving from primarily processing
employee transactions to serving as a business partner, change agent and leader.
OCSD's most important asset is its workforce. As a generation of this workforce retires, OCSD must be
prepared to fill vacancies and prepare the next generation for opportunities, including leadership
continuity.
The HR strategic plan provides the focus for HR,the outcomes to be achieved and the associated roles
and competencies needed. It creates clarity for planning and allocating resources.A long-range HR
strategy will assure that actions are aligned with OCSD's overall vision, mission,values, and strategies.
Goals
• Improve HR processes, systems and infrastructure to provide high levels of efficiency, quality,
customer service and cost-effectiveness.
• Develop leading practices in the recruitment, retention and development of our workforce.
• Support and promote the health and well-being of the workforce.
• Foster and maintain a working and learning environment that is inclusive, supportive and
free from discrimination.
• Provide for organizational change initiatives through labor relations program that have been
identified by management to grow a performance-based culture.
• Focus the HR community on the needs of its customers through programs such as recognition
and succession management.
Desired Outcome
• Design, develop, fund and implement HR policies, strategies, practices, systems, and tools to ensure
OCSD has a workforce that meets the future needs of OCSD and the public it serves.

Setting OCSD's Level of Service for Biosolids Management
November 2007
Policy Issue for LOS Determination: Recognizing the Board's Resolution (OCSD 06-10)that supports biosolids
reuse and encourages its member agencies to use compost made from biosolids,should OCSD continue to pursue
our beneficial reuse policy or include disposal options for the remaining 1/3 of its non-contractually committed
biosolids production?
Staff Recommendation: OCSD should continue to pursue beneficial reuse of the remaining 1/3 of its biosolids
production.Staff will continue to utilize cost-effective land application reuse options in Kern County and Arizona
for as long as possible(anticipated to be less than five years)while pursuing a biosolids-to-energy alternative for
the balance of its biosolids production.
Analysis: OCSD currently produces 650 tons of biosolids per day, by 2012 when the new secondary treatment
processes are fully operational, biosolids production is projected to increase by approximately 30%to 840 tons per
day. OCSD currently manages its biosolids as follows via two contracts using five options:
• 24 percent is land applied as Class A biosolids in Kern County($43.07/ton)
26 percent is land applied as Class B biosolids in Yuma County,Arizona ($45.44)
38 percent is composted to Class A in Kern County($63.09)
12 percent is composted to Class A La Paz County,Arizona ($49.74)
3 percent is land filled in Yuma County,Arizona ($45.44)
• In 2003, OCSD adopted the Long-Range Biosolids Master Plan (Plan).The main policy recommendations
from the Plan were:
• Obtain at least three diverse biosolids management options
• Limit participation in any market to one-half of the biosolids produced
Limit contracts to one-third of total biosolids production
Strive for increased biosolids-based compost use in Orange County
Since the completion of the Plan, OCSD has entered into two long-term contracts that will service
approximately two-thirds of OCSD's biosolids production.
• EnerTech: 225 tons/day of biosolids-to-fuel in Rialto ($72.40)
(on line 12/08)
• Synagro:250 tons/day of biosolids composting in Kern County($63.09)
Staff is primarily investigating biosolids-to-energy technologies and markets for the remaining one-third of OCSD's
biosolids production because of our concern that biosolids composting markets are being saturated which could
result in de-valuing of the product, making it non-sustainable.The private sector has already significantly invested
in developing biosolids-to-energy technologies which enables wastewater agencies to participate in proven and
sustainable markets.Staff will also be investigating biosolids management via deep-well injection and methane
production which is currently being evaluated by the City of Los Angeles.
Alternatives: OCSD will pursue long term contracts if possible for non-beneficial reuse landfill disposal.
Cost Implications for the remaining 1/3 of OCSD's biosolids (2007 dollars):
Energy Production: $85/ton—Annual cost=$7.8M
Deep Well Injection: $40/ton—Annual cost=$3.7M
Landfill Disposal: $60/ton—Annual cost=$5.5M
34
November 2009
Setting OCSD's Level of Service for the GWR System
November 2007
Policy Issue for LOS Determination: The Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD) has shared in construction
costs for Phase 1 of the Groundwater Replenishment(GWR)System with the Orange County Water District
(OCWD),with each agency paying equal shares of 50%. Phase 1 will reclaim up to 70 million gallons per day(mgd)
of water,and will defer the need for OCSD to construct a new ocean outfall estimated at$200 million. Ultimate
planning for the GWR System allows for reclamation up to 130 mgd.The major GWR System pipelines and other
components have been sized to accommodate this expansion; however,the advanced water purification facilities
are sized for 70 mgd.OCSD has not committed additional funding for expanding the GWR System beyond
the present phase.
Staff Recommendation: OCSD will maintain its commitment for Phase 1 of the GWR System.This commitment
for Phase 1 of GWR System includes the following:
• Providing OCWD with secondary effluent to produce 70 mgd of reclaimed water
• Providing 50 percent of capital costs($250 million)for Phase 1
• Providing 50 percent of 0&M costs($500,000 per year)to remove 1,4-Dioxane and NDMA
• In addition to the commitment for Phase 1, staff recommends exploring"low cost"or"no cost"options to
expand water availability for the GWR System, including:
• Revisiting the potential use of the SARI with the Department of Health Services
• Considering grant funding of future sewer diversion projects
Analysis: In 1999,the OCSD Board of Directors(Board)approved Phase 1 of the GWR System,a joint funded
project of OCSD and OCWD.The objective of Phase 1 is to maximize the use of treated effluent for water recycling
and to manage OCSD's peak flow, deferring the construction of a second ocean outfall beyond 2020.
The GWR System is anticipated to be fully operational in November 2007. Currently, OCSD Reclamation Plant No. 1
has sufficient wastewater to allow the GWR System to produce about 55 mgd of reclaimed water for the first year
of operations.When the new Ellis Pump Station is completed in 2009,there will be sufficient flow to operate the
GWR System at its full 70 mgd capacity.
Even though sufficient flows will be available for Phase 1 of the GWR System,the daily low flow period (1:00 am to
8:00 am)will limit water availability for expansion of the System beyond Phase 1. Camp Dresser and McKee (CDM)
has analyzed options to pump additional flows to Plant No.1, segregating reclaimable and non-reclaimable(SAWPA
flows)wastewater streams,and constructing separate treatment plants. In light of the benefits of the current level
of service versus the high costs of making future flow available for the GWR System, staff recommends that OCSD
continue to work with OCWD to study lower cost options to maximize the amount of water that can be reclaimed.
Alternatives: OCSD will be directing all available reclaimable flows to Plant No. 1 to maximize reclamation. In the
future,as OCSD flows increase substantially,staff will recommend implementation of the most feasible and cost-
effective options for increasing the quantity of flow available for reclamation.
Estimated Cost Implications for Future Phases:
• OCSD Diversions and Infrastructure—up to$700 million
• Expansion of OCWD Advanced Water Purification Facilities—about$150 million
• Every$1 million in OCSD expenditures increases single family user rates by$1.13 per year.
35
November 2009
Setting OCSD's Level of Service for Air Quality
November 2007
Policy Issue: OCSD expects the South Coast Air Quality Management District to amend existing
regulations to require significant reductions in common pollutants (smog,visibility impairment)
in December 2007. A secondary public health benefit of this regulation is the reduction in air toxic
emissions.The estimated capital improvement cost to meet the new requirements is$31 million.
• If the new regulations are not approved then OCSD will be required by 2012, under the existing
regulations,to notify all affected residents and business surrounding our facilities of health risks
associated with our emissions.
• OCSD can avoid issuing notifications by proactively installing air pollution control equipment to
reduce the air toxic emissions below the notification level.
Analysis: Currently, State law and the South Coast Air Quality Management District require facilities to
inventory their air toxic emissions and conduct a Health Risk Assessment of the health risk impact of
their emissions to surrounding residents and businesses.
Public notification is required if the cancer risk exceeds 10 in one million and non-cancer risk exceeds 1.
This means that 10 out of 1 million residents exposed to District air emissions, over a 70-year period, can
contract cancer. It is anticipated that after completion of full secondary facilities in 2012, OCSD will
exceed the threshold established by South Coast Air Quality Management District and OCSD will be
required to notify affected communities.
New regulations proposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District would require OCSD to
make significant reductions in common pollutants.The most technically feasible and lowest cost
solution will be to add air pollution controls to the existing engines, which would provide the added
benefit of reducing air toxic emissions below levels that require public notification.
Alternatives(if the new regulations are not enacted):
• Notify the affected public of the potential health risk from OCSD's toxic air emissions. OCSD would
notify the public via direct mailings to the residents, businesses, and schools followed by public
meetings.The corresponding materials will also be listed on the SCAQMD Web site and, possibly,
printed in local newspapers.
• Add air pollution controls to reduce risk to community below public notification level.
Staff Recommendation: OCSD should apply feasible and cost-effective controls in order to reduce
the air toxic emissions below the health risk notification level to the surrounding community
and OCSD employees.
36
November 2009
Setting OCSD's Level of Service for Odor Control
November 2007
Policy Issue: Thousands of homes surround OCSD's two treatment plants. Under current operating
procedures, OCSD's goal is to contain odor nuisances within our property boundary. Historically, OCSD
based our Level of Service on meeting hydrogen sulfide levels at the exhaust of odor control equipment
within the treatment plant and at the fenceline of our property.Through significant study, staff has
determined that hydrogen sulfide is not the best indicator of odor due to the presence of other odorous
compounds.To gauge accurately odor nuisances, OCSD is changing to a scientifically based method of
odor detection to determine accurately the Level of Service it wishes to achieve for communities
surrounding our treatment plants.The Board must then choose the desired LOS.
Analysis: In 2002, OCSD completed the Odor Control Master Plan, which provided specific
recommendations and measures to control and reduce odors. Staff conducted an extensive evaluation
of OCSD facilities by collecting and analyzing odor samples from the plant processing equipment. OCSD
used a panel of 6-8 people, with average olfactory sensitivity, to determine the odor detection
thresholds scientifically based on the number of times the sample needed to be diluted before the
panelist detected odor. Staff then assigned an odor unit to the sample-the higher the number of
dilutions needed to achieve the threshold,the stronger the odor. Staff then fed the data into a
computer model to predict the impact to the community.
With the modeling analyses completed, staff concluded that under normal operation conditions, by
using a guideline of 10 D/T(dilutions to threshold) OCSD would eliminate odor to the surrounding
community. OCSD currently meets a 40-50 D/T, which is 4 to 5 times greater than 10 D/T. After the
currently approved CIP projects are constructed, OCSD is estimated to reach a level of 25-30 D/T(2.5 to
3 times greater than 10 D/T).
Alternatives:
• Adopt a treatment plant LOS of 25-30 dilutions/threshold. LOS will be achieved when the projects
approved in the current CIP are constructed. Design and construct all future projects to a service
level that will keep odors from that project on District property. Staff believes this level is 10 D/T but
case-by-case modeling for the projects will be required.The result is no cost impact to the current
approved CIP.
• Adopt a treatment plant and future project design and construction LOS for odor control of 10
dilutions/threshold (within the fence line of OCSD) and incorporate four additional odor control
projects into the CIP.The result is an increase of$69.6 million to the CIP and $648,000 for O&M.
Staff Recommendation: Establish OCSD odor standard based on total odor(D/T). Design all new
processes, structures and equipment at the wastewater treatment plants so that odors remain within
treatment plant boundaries. Add two additional odor control projects (Plant 1 trickling filters and Plant 2
biosolids truck loading)to the CIP.The result is an increase of$17.6 million to the CIP and $300,000
annually for O&M. Conduct research on cost-effective alternatives to control odors from the primary
treatment facilities at both plants and report back to the Board on future staff recommendations for any
further odor control.

Proposition 218 Notices for Annual Sewer Service User Fees
November 2007
Proposition 218 was a constitutional initiative governing the establishment of any new taxes, property-
related fees or assessments.This initiative was approved by the state's voters in November 1996 and
applies to each of California's nearly 7,000 cities, counties, special districts, schools, community college
districts, redevelopment agencies, and regional organizations.
In order to raise a new tax, assessment, or property-related fee, or to increase an existing one, local
governments must comply with Proposition 218 regulations.
In general,these requirements are that local governments may use assessments and property-related
fees only to finance projects and services that directly benefit property and that most revenue-raising
measures be approved in an election.
Sewer service user fees are specifically exempted from some of the requirements of Proposition 218.
Most notably,they are exempt from the election requirements, but not the requirement that fees
cannot exceed the reasonable cost of service.
The Board has agreed with staff, however,that we will comply with all of the rest of the requirements,
in a spirit of good governance.A notice of rate changes is mailed to every property owner whenever the
rates are proposed to increase.
Based on the approval to charge for local sewer services, a second (separate) Proposition 218 notice
would be included.The rates are adopted through the ordinance process, and that requires a public
hearing,two Board meetings and a 2/3 majority approval of the Board.
Proposition 218 Notices notify the property owners of the public hearing that coincides with the second
reading of the ordinance. Notices must be mailed to property owners 45 days before the public hearing.
Mailing of Proposition 218 notices requires significant Sanitation District resources and staff time as staff
works with all stakeholders to ensure that notices are printed correctly and mailed to over 550,000
property owners.Additional temporary staff is needed to answer phone calls from customers.
Historically, three OCSD staff and two temporary staff answer phone calls for a minimum of four weeks.
In addition to written responses (including email), phone calls are also noted and tallied by city of
residence.This information is made available to the Directors prior to the public hearing.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with Irvine Ranch Water District (As
Successor to County Sanitation District No. 14) Acquiring Ownership Interests, Assigning
Rights and Establishing Obligations, in a form approved by General Counsel.
SUMMARY
Section 5 of Amendment No. 2 to the January 1986 Agreement, dated November 15,
1995 provided that District 14's contribution to the Orange County Sanitation District's
(OCSD) reserves shall be calculated in a manner that is consistent with the method by
which OCSD calculates the reserve share of the areas within the other OCSD
predecessor districts.
District 14 is funded by the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD). Per the agreement,
IRWD is required to contribute its share of reserves based on the OCSD Reserve
Policy. OCSD and IRWD have met to determine the amount required and the
calculation that will be used going forward.
District staff believes that the following reserves are related to and should be funded by
District 14 for FY 2008-09, as follows:
OPERATING AND CAPITAL RESERVES:
Next Year's Dry Period (Cash Flow Reserve) $ 4.0 million
Operating Contingency 0.8 million
Operating & Capital Catastrophe Funds 1.7 million
Capital Replacement and Refurbishment 1.7 million
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement Program Reserve 2.8 million
TOTAL DISTRICT 14 RESERVE REQUIREMENT $11.0 million
The attached Amendment No. 2 to the February 1986 Agreement is intended to set
forth the method for calculating IRWD's contribution to the Target Reserves.

Page 1
In determining the correct District 14 cash reserve balance of June 30, 2008, both
agencies agreed to retain the accounting firm Mayer Hoffman MacCann P.C. (MHM).
In their report dated April 20, 2009, MHM documented their findings, including the
flume meter adjustment, change in depreciation methodology and the resulting
accumulated interest in a letter report.
OCSD and IRWD are in agreement with the findings of set forth in the MHM report,
included as Exhibit B within this Amendment No 2. This Report concluded that OCSD
held cash balances of$24,151,766 for District 14's account as of June 30, 2008.
OCSD and IRWD have agreed to apply $11.0 million of this cash balance to meet IRWD's
funding of the District 14 share of the Target Reserves funding, and agreed to apply the
remaining cash balance of$13,151,766 to other invoices issued by OCSD to IRWD for
District 14 expense shares as of June 30, 2009.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN
IRVINE RANCH WATER DISTRICT AND
THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
(AS SUCCESSOR TO COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 14)
ACQUIRING OWNERSHIP INTERESTS, ASSIGNING
RIGHTS AND ESTABLISHING OBLIGATIONS
Th' Amendment No. 2 is made and entered into, to be effective the �� � day of
2009, by and between the ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT, ("OCSD")
and the IRVINE RANCH WATER DISTRICT, ("IRWD"). OCSD and IRWD are sometimes
individually referred to herein as each"Party" and collectively as the "Parties."
RECITALS
This Amendment is entered into with reference to the following facts:
WHEREAS, OCSD is a duly organized County Sanitation District, existing pursuant to the
County Sanitation District Act, California Health& Safety Code Sections 4700 et seq., providing for the
ownership, operation, and maintenance of wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities; and
WHEREAS, IRWD is organized and exists pursuant to the California Water District Law,
California Water Code Section 34000 et seq., and also owns, operates, and maintains wastewater
collection, treatment, and disposal facilities pursuant to powers granted by such Law; and
WHEREAS, a group of OCSD's predecessor districts, County Sanitation District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5,
6, 7, 11 and 13, and IRWD entered into an agreement entitled "Formation Agreement" dated March 13,
1985. Through the Formation Agreement, IRWD and the predecessor districts agreed to cooperate in
the formation of County Sanitation District No. 14 of Orange County ("District 14") in order to assist
IRWD in treating and disposing of wastewater from IRWD's service area. District 14 was subsequently
formed as of January 1, 1986. District 14 lay entirely within IRWD's service area; and
WHEREAS, District 14 on the one hand and OCSD's other predecessor districts, County
Sanitation District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 13 on the other hand, entered into that certain Agreement
"For Purchase and Sale of Capacity Rights In Treatment, Disposal and Sewer Facilities," dated as of
January 1, 1986 ("January 1986 Agreement"). Pursuant to the January 1986 Agreement, the other
predecessor districts sold to District 14 (1) an equity ownership interest in joint facilities for the
collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater, and (2) an equity ownership interest in certain real
properties. Before the predecessor districts were consolidated into OCSD in 1998, the joint facilities
were known as the "Joint Works Treatment Facilities" or "JWTF." Since consolidation, OCSD has
owned and operated the former JWTF. The former JWTF shall be collectively referred to herein as the
"OCSD Wastewater System." The January 1986 Agreement also provided for District 14's equity
interest in the OCSD Wastewater System to be adjusted annually based on a methodology set forth
therein. and
WHEREAS, District 14 and IRWD entered into that certain Agreement"Acquiring Ownership
Interests, Assigning Rights and Establishing Obligations,"_dated as of February 13, 1986 (the "February
1986 Agreement"). In the February 1986 Agreement, IRWD agreed, inter alia, to fund District 14's
657201.1
share of the operations and maintenance costs of the OCSD Wastewater System and capital
expenditures as determined pursuant to the January 1986 Agreement; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the Local Agency Formation
Commission for the 1998 consolidation, all contracts between IRWD and one or more of OCSD's
predecessor districts, and all contracts between District 14 and one or more of OCSD's predecessor
districts were assigned to OCSD and were to remain in full force and effect as necessary to carry out the
original intent of those agreements, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the consolidation. In
order to separately account for the costs that IRWD is contractually obligated to fund with respect to the
former District 14, OCSD has since 1998 maintained a separate Revenue Area known as Revenue Area
14 ("RA 14"); and
WHEREAS, OCSD's ongoing costs for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the
OCSD Wastewater System include, among other costs, the costs of funding monetary reserves. As part
of the budget process, OCSD's Board of Directors establishes target amounts of reserve funding for
particular expenditure categories ("Target Reserves"). The Target Reserves for the period 2008-2010
are set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, District 14 on the one hand and OCSD's other predecessor districts, County
Sanitation District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 13 on the other hand, entered into that certain
"Amendment No 2"to the January 1986 Agreement, dated November 15, 1995. Amendment No. 2
provided in Section 5 thereof that District 14's contribution to OCSD's reserves shall be calculated in a
manner that is consistent with the method by which OCSD calculates the reserve shares of the areas
within the other OCSD predecessor districts; and
WHEREAS, OCSD maintains that the amount of IRWD's contribution to the Target Reserves
should be based on the former District 14's equity interest in OCSD's wastewater system. As of the
fiscal year 2007-2008, the former District 14 held a 6% equity interest in the OCSD Wastewater
System. Under OCSD's methodology, IRWD would be responsible for funding approximately$27.7
million in Target Reserves for fiscal year 2008-09, based on the total Target Reserves of$460.9 million
multiplied by 6%; and
WHEREAS, IRWD maintains that IRWD's funding of all categories of the Target Reserves in
an amount equivalent to the former District 14's equity interest in the OCSD Wastewater System would
result in IRWD's funding of certain categories of the Target Reserves that are not necessary for, and are
not related to, RA 14's funding obligations borne by IRWD; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to reach an agreement on the method for calculating IRWD's
required contribution to the Target Reserves; and
WHEREAS, this Amendment No. 2 to the February 1986 Agreement is intended to set forth the
method for calculating IRWD's contribution to the Target Reserves,; and
WHEREAS, the Parties jointly retained the accounting firm of Mayer Hoffman MacCami P.C.
("Mayer Hoffman") to assist them in determining the correct cash reserve balance for RA 14 as of June
30, 2008. On April 20, 2009, Mayer Hoffman documented their findings in a letter report. A copy of
Mayer Hoffman's letter report is attached hereto as Exhibit"B" and incorporated herein by reference.
657201.1
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the Parties agree
as follows:
Section 1. Target Reserve Expenditure Categories.
IRWD shall fund RA 14's contribution to OCSD's Target Reserves in the following expenditure
categories:
OPERATING AND CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period (Cash Flow Reserve)
Operating Contingency
Operating & Capital Catastrophe Funds
Capital Replacement and Refurbishment
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement Program Reserve
IRWD need not fund an RA 14 contribution to Target Reserves for any other expenditure category for
which the OCSD Board of Directors has currently established a Target Reserve. In the event that the
OCSD Board establishes a Target Reserve in the future for an expenditure category for which OCSD
does not currently maintain a Target Reserve, IRWD shall fund the RA 14 contribution to such Target
Reserve in an amount determined as set forth in Section 2.
Section 2. Amount of IRWD Contribution.
IRWD's funding of the RA 14 contribution to the Target Reserves shall be calculated annually
according to the following formulas:
Expenditure Category Formula
OPERATING AND
CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period IRWD Contribution= RA 14 Operation& Maintenance Budget x 50%
(Cash Flow Reserve)
Operating Contingency IRWD Contribution=RA 14 Operation& Maintenance Budget x 10%
657201.1
Operating & Capital IRWD Contribution= Target Reserve for Operating & Capital
Catastrophe Funds Catastrophe Funds x 49.8% x District 14's Percentage of Equity Interest
in the OCSD Wastewater System
Capital Replacement and IRWD Contribution= Target Reserve for Capital Replacement and
Refurbishment Refurbishment x 49.8% x District 14's % of Equity Interest in the
OCSD Wastewater System
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement IRWD Contribution= Target Reserve for Capital Improvement
Program Reserve Program Treatment and Disposal Projects Only x 50% x District 14's
Percentage of Equity Interest in the OCSD Wastewater System
"In the event that the OCSD Board establishes a Target Reserve in the future for an expenditure
category for which OCSD does not currently maintain a Target Reserve and such expenditure category
is a sub-category of the existing reserves listed above, the reserve amount will be determined using the
corresponding above-listed calculation. If the new Target Reserve is a sub-category of the
Environmental Requirement, Rate Stabilization, Short-Term Specific CIP Reserves or Debt Service
Reserves, IRWD will not contribute to the new Target Reserve. If the new Target Reserve is not a sub-
category of any of the categories listed above, IRWD shall contribute to such Target Reserve in an
amount that is proportional to the contributions of the similarly situated areas served of OCSD. The
parties agree to confer in good faith to reach an agreement on a formula for IRWD's funding of the RA
14 contribution to such Target Reserve in an amount that is consistent with the methodology reflected in
the table above and that is proportional to the contributions of the other similarly situated areas served
by OCSD. In the event that the OCSD Board reduces or discontinues an existing expenditure category
of the Target Reserves, a consistent reduction or discontinuation shall apply to the RA 14 contribution."
Section 3. Existing; Reserve Balances.
Based on the methodology set forth in Section 2, the existing amount of Target Reserves and RA
14's existing equity interest in the OCSD Wastewater System, IRWD is currently obligated to fund the
RA 14 contribution to the Target Reserves in the following amounts:
Expenditure Category Current Amount
OPERATING AND CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period (Cash Flow Reserve) $4 Million
Operating Contingency $.8 Million
Operating& Capital Catastrophe Funds $1.7 Million
Capital Replacement and Refurbishment $1.7 Million
657201.1
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement Program Reserve $2.8 Million
Total Reserve Obligation $11 Million
The Parties agree with the findings of set forth in the Mayer Hoffman report at Exhibit B. This Report
concluded that OCSD held cash balances of$24,151,766 for RA 14's account as of June 30, 2008.
OCSD agrees to apply $11.0 million of this cash balance to meet IRWD's funding of the RA 14 share of
the Target Reserves funding, and agrees to apply the remaining cash balance of$13,151,766 to other
invoices issued by OCSD to IRWD for RA 14 expense shares as of June 30, 2009.
Section 4. Independent Review of Future Reserve Balances.
IRWD may, at its own expense, engage an independent accounting firm on an annual basis to
perform procedures similar to those employed by Mayer Hoffman. In the event IRWD elects to do so,
OCSD will provide such accountants with access to its records and information as is needed to perform
such review. Any such annual review must be completed within three years following the end of the
fiscal year under review.
Section 5. Interest on Reserve Balances.
RA 14's share of the reserve and other funds held on behalf of IRWD for RA 14's account shall
bear interest at the prevailing annual rate of return of OCSD.
Section 6. Annual Adjustment of Reserve Funding.
Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the close of each fiscal year on June 30 of each
year, OCSD shall calculate IRWD's share of the Target Reserves according to the formulas set forth in
Section 2, and return any excess to the extent that the reserve funds held on behalf of IRWD for the
account of RA 14 exceed IRWD's share of the Target Reserves To the extent that the reserve funds
held on behalf of IRWD for the account of RA 14 are less than IRWD's share of the Target Reserves,
IRWD shall pay the amount of the deficiency to OCSD within thirty(30) days after OCSD notifies
IRWD of IRWD's share of target reserves. The policy, set forth in Exhibit A, that excess accumulated
funds be transferred to rate stabilization, shall not apply to RA 14.
Section 7. Assignment._
This Amendment may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party without the prior
written consent of the other Party.
Section 8. Applicable Law.
This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
Section 9. Complete Agreement.
657201.1
This Amendment contains the full and complete agreement between the two Parties. All
modifications must be in writing and approved by OCSD's and IRWD's Board of Directors. No oral
agreements or representations or statements by any officer or employee of either Party shall affect or
modify any of the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
Section 10. Prior Agreements.
This Amendment is intended to implement Section 5 of Amendment No. 2 to the January 1986
Agreement. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all terms and conditions of prior
Agreements between the Parties, and all attachments and exhibits thereto, shall remain in full force and
effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed in duplicate in the names of the
respective Parties by their duly authorized officers, effective as of the day and year first above written.

result in IRWD's funding of certain categories of the Target Reserves that are not necessary for, and are
not related to, RA 14's funding obligations borne by IRWD; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to reach an agreement on the method for calculating IRWD's
required contribution to the Target Reserves; and

Section 1. Target Reserve Expenditure Categories.
IRWD shall fund RA 14's contribution to OCSD's Target Reserves in the following expenditure
categories:
OPERATING AND CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period(Cash Flow Reserve)
Operating Contingency
Operating & Capital Catastrophe Funds
Capital Replacement and Refurbishment
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement Program Reserve
IRWD need not fund an RA 14 contribution to Target Reserves for any other expenditure category for
which the OCSD Board of Directors has currently established a Target Reserve. In the event that the
OCSD Board establishes a Target Reserve in the future for an expenditure category for which OCSD
does not currently maintain a Target Reserve, IRWD shall fund the RA 14 contribution to such Target
Reserve in an amount determined as set forth in Section 2.
Section 2. Amount of IRWD Contribution.
IRWD's funding of the RA 14 contribution to the Target Reserves shall be calculated annually
according to the following formulas:
Expenditure Category Formula
OPERATING AND
CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period IRWD Contribution=RA 14 Operation& Maintenance Budget x 50%
(Cash Flow Reserve)
Operating Contingency IRWD Contribution=RA 14 Operation& Maintenance Budget x 10%
657201.1
Operating & Capital IRWD Contribution=Target Reserve for Operating & Capital
Catastrophe Funds Catastrophe Funds x 49.8% x District 14's Percentage of Equity Interest
in the OCSD Wastewater System
Capital Replacement and IRWD Contribution=Target Reserve for Capital Replacement and
Refurbishment Refurbishment x 49.8% x District 14's % of Equity Interest in the
OCSD Wastewater System
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement IRWD Contribution=Target Reserve for Capital Improvement
Program Reserve Program Treatment and Disposal Projects Only x 50%x District 14's
Percentage of Equity Interest in the OCSD Wastewater System
"In the event that the OCSD Board establishes a Target Reserve in the future for an expenditure
category for which OCSD does not currently maintain a Target Reserve and such expenditure category
is a sub-category of the existing reserves listed above, the reserve amount will be determined using the
corresponding above-listed calculation. If the new Target Reserve is a sub-category of the
Environmental Requirement, Rate Stabilization, Short-Term Specific CIP Reserves or Debt Service
Reserves, IRWD will not contribute to the new Target Reserve. If the new Target Reserve is not a sub-
category of any of the categories listed above, IRWD shall contribute to such Target Reserve in an
amount that is proportional to the contributions of the similarly situated areas served of OCSD. The
parties agree to confer in good faith to reach an agreement on a formula for IRWD's funding of the RA
14 contribution to such Target Reserve in an amount that is consistent with the methodology reflected in
the table above and that is proportional to the contributions of the other similarly situated areas served
by OCSD. In the event that the OCSD Board reduces or discontinues an existing expenditure category
of the Target Reserves, a consistent reduction or discontinuation shall apply to the RA 14 contribution."
Section 3. Existing Reserve Balances.
Based on the methodology set forth in Section 2, the existing amount of Target Reserves and RA
14's existing equity interest in the OCSD Wastewater System, IRWD is currently obligated to fund the
RA 14 contribution to the Target Reserves in the following amounts:
Expenditure Category Current Amount
OPERATING AND CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period(Cash Flow Reserve) $4 Million
Operating Contingency $.8 Million
Operating & Capital Catastrophe Funds $1.7 Million
Capital Replacement and Refurbishment $1.7 Million
657201.1
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement Program Reserve $2.8 Million
Total Reserve Obligation $11 Million
The Parties agree with the findings of set forth in the Mayer Hoffman report at Exhibit B. This Report
concluded that OCSD held cash balances of$24,151,766 for RA 14's account as of June 30, 2008.
OCSD agrees to apply $11.0 million of this cash balance to meet IRWD's funding of the RA 14 share of
the Target Reserves funding, and agrees to apply the remaining cash balance of$13,151,766 to other
invoices issued by OCSD to IRWD for RA 14 expense shares as of June 30, 2009.
Section 4. Independent Review of Future Reserve Balances.
IRWD may, at its own expense, engage an independent accounting firm on an annual basis to
perform procedures similar to those employed by Mayer Hoffinan. In the event IRWD elects to do so,
OCSD will provide such accountants with access to its records and information as is needed to perform
such review. Any such annual review must be completed within three years following the end of the
fiscal year under review.
Section 5. Interest on Reserve Balances.
RA 14's share of the reserve and other funds held on behalf of IRWD for RA 14's account shall
bear interest at the prevailing annual rate of return of OCSD.
Section 6. Annual Adjustment of Reserve Funding.
Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the close of each fiscal year on June 30 of each
year, OCSD shall calculate IRWD's share of the Target Reserves according to the formulas set forth in
Section 2, and return any excess to the extent that the reserve funds held on behalf of IRWD for the
account of RA 14 exceed IRWD's share of the Target Reserves To the extent that the reserve funds
held on behalf of IRWD for the account of RA 14 are less than IRWD's share of the Target Reserves,
IRWD shall pay the amount of the deficiency to OCSD within thirty(30) days after OCSD notifies
IRWD of IRWD's share of target reserves. The policy, set forth in Exhibit A, that excess accumulated
funds be transferred to rate stabilization, shall not apply to RA 14.
Section 7. Assignment.
This Amendment may not be assigned, in whole or in part,by either party without the prior
written consent of the other Party.
Section 8. Applicable Law.
This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
Section 9. Complete Agreement.
657201.1
This Amendment contains the full and complete agreement between the two Parties. All
modifications must be in writing and approved by OCSD's and IRWD's Board of Directors. No oral
agreements or representations or statements by any officer or employee of either Party shall affect or
modify any of the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
Section 10. Prior Agreements.
This Amendment is intended to implement Section 5 of Amendment No. 2 to the January 1986
Agreement. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all terms and conditions of prior
Agreements between the Parties, and all attachments and exhibits thereto, shall remain in full force and
effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed in duplicate in the names of the
respective Parties by their duly authorized officers, effective as of the day and year first above written.

Board of Directors
Orange County Sanitation District
Fountain Valley, CA
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Orange County Sanitation
District ("District") as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered Orange County
Sanitation District's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's
internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding
paragraph and. would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination
of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record,
process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the District's
financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the
District's internal control. Matters conforming to this definition are as follows:
(1) Capital Asset Deletions
The District has good controls to identify and write off old furniture and equipment that
has been disposed of. For disposal of larger capital assets (pipelines, facilities), the
Project Manager informs the Finance Department of replacement projects when the
capital project is established in the accounting system. During our testing of capital asset
additions, we noted certain projects that involved the removal or replacement of fully-
depreciated assets. Since the Finance Department was not made aware of the disposal of
these removed assets, the assets were not deleted from the accounting system. The
financial statements are not misstated as a result of this issue because the assets involved.
have been fully depreciated. However, it is important that the District's subsidiary listing
of capital assets only include assets currently in use.
Recommendation
We recommend that the District review the capital asset detail for fully depreciated assets
that may no longer be in use. These assets should be removed from the District's
accounting records.

Independent Accountants' Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures
Applied to Appropriations Limit Worksheets
We have applied the procedures enumerated below to the appropriations limit worksheets
prepared by the Orange County Sanitation District for the year ended June 30, 2009. These
procedures, which were agreed to by the Orange County Sanitation District and the League of
California Cities (as presented in the League publication entitled Article XIIIB Appropriations
Limitation Uniform Guidelines) were performed solely to assist the Orange County Sanitation
District in meeting the requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California
Constitution.
This engagement to apply agreed-upon procedures was performed in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of the
procedures is solely the responsibility of the specified users of the report. Consequently, we
make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the
purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
The procedures performed and the results of those procedures were as follows:
1. We obtained the worksheets referred to above and compared the limit and annual
adjustment factors included in those worksheets to the limit and annual adjustment
factors that were adopted by resolution of the Board of Directors. We also compared
the population and inflation options included in the aforementioned worksheets to
those that were selected by a recorded vote.
Results: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.
2. We recalculated the mathematical computations reflected in the District worksheets.
Results: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.
Board of Directors

3. We compared the current year information used to determine the current year limit
and found that it agreed to worksheets prepared by the District and to information
provided by the State Department of Finance.
Results: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.
4. We compared the amount of the prior year appropriations limit presented in the
worksheets to the amount adopted by the Board of Directors for the prior year.
Results: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.
We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an audit, the objective of which would be the
expression of an opinion on the worksheets referred to above. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our
attention that would have been reported to you. No procedures have been performed with respect
to the determination of the appropriation limit for the base year, as defined by the League
publication entitled Article XIIIB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the specified users listed above and
is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

SUMMARY OF AUDIT RESULTS
We have audited the financial statements of the Orange County Sanitation District for the year
ended June 30, 2009 and have issued our report thereon dated October 22, 2009. Professional
standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards
Our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express opinions about whether
the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all
material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit of
the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities.
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the District's internal control over financial
reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial
reporting.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether District's financial statements are free
of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material
effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit.
Scope and Tinging of the Audit
The scope and timing of the audit was communicated to the Chair of the Administration
Committee in a separate letter.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. We
advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The
significant accounting policies used by the District's are described in note one to the financial
statements. We noted no transactions entered into by the District during the year for which there
is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and
assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because
of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events
affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. An example of the significant
subjective judgments inherent in the financial reporting process is management's judgment
Administration Committee
Orange County Sanitation District
Page 2
concerning which projects should be expensed as ordinary maintenance activities necessary to
keep an asset operational for its originally established useful life versus those significant
improvement, replacement, and life extending projects that should be capitalized as additions to
capital assets.
Significant Difficulties in Performing the Audit
We encountered no difficulties in perforrning our audit.
Material and Immaterial Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified.
during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level
of management. No material misstatements were determined by the audit process. The
accompanying financial statements do not reflect the effect of adjustments determined to be
immaterial including the capitalization of interest costs associated with. capital projects that did
not have bond funding and recording as prior period adjustments the results of certain contractual
audits. Accordingly, these items were recognized by the District as expenses of the audit period.
The aggregate effect of these immaterial items represented less than. 1% of the District's total
assets.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction,
that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to
report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have obtained certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated October 22, 2009.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a
consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the District's financial statements
or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements,
our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that
the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with
other accountants.
Other•Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each. year prior to retention as the District's auditors.
Administration Committee

However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and
our responses were not a condition to our retention.
This information is intended solely for the use of the Administration Committee and
management of the District and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.

SUBJECT: REHABILITATION OF WESTSIDE PUMP STATION,
CONTRACT NO. 3-52
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve a contingency increase of $117,700 (2%) to the construction contract with
Norm A. Olsson Construction, Inc., for Rehabilitation of Westside Pump Station,
Contract No. 3-52, for a total contingency of $588,500 (10%); and,
2. Approve a Budget increase of $250,000 for Rehabilitation of Westside Pump Station,
Contract No. 3-52, for a total budget amount of $11,275,000.
SUMMARY
• This project includes the design and construction of mechanical, electrical,
instrumentation and controls, structural, landscape, and architectural improvements
to bring the Westside Pump Station into compliance with Orange County Sanitation
District (Sanitation District) Standards.
• The project was awarded on June 25, 2008 and a Notice to Proceed was issued to
the contractor on August 26, 2008.
• There have been significant additional costs incurred on this project from a variety of
issues, but most significantly from extensive damage to concrete in the existing
pump station structure requiring much more extensive rehabilitation of the existing
concrete than was originally known.
• The project is 45% complete and in order to be able to cover any further unexpected
field conditions or interferences, staff has determined that the contingency budget of
8% is inadequate and requests an additional contingency of$117,700 (2%) for a
total project contingency of $588,500 (10%).
• The existing project budget is not sufficient to cover the requested additional
contingency and additional time for inspection and technical support staff during the
construction phase. Therefore, we are requesting a budget increase of$250,000 for
a total budget of $11 ,275,000.
