Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 10-XX, Authorizing the Execution and Delivery by the
District of an Installment Purchase Agreement, a Trust Agreement, and a Continuing
Disclosure Agreement in connection with the execution and delivery of Orange
County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series
2010B, such Notes Evidencing Principal in an Aggregate Amount of Not to Exceed
$167,000,000, Approving a Notice of Intention to Sell, Authorizing the Distribution of
a Notice Inviting Bids and an Official Statement in Connection with the Offering and
Sale of such Notes and Authorizing the Execution of Other Necessary Documents
and Related Actions; and,
B. That the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation approve the
documents supporting and authorizing the Revenue Refunding Certificate
Anticipation Notes, Series 2009B in an amount not to exceed $167,000,000.
SUMMARY
In September 2010, the Administration Committee and the Board of Directors
authorized the execution and delivery of up to $167 million of Refunding Certificates of
Participation.
The current global financial crisis has negatively impacted the financial strength and
ratings of many financial institutions that provide bank liquidity facilities securing
variable rate bonds issued by municipal entities. Variable rate issues secured by banks
with the least favorable investor perception have experienced higher than expected
interest rate resets as investors are less willing to hold bonds secured by these
weakening banks. In many cases, investors have tendered the bonds to the banks
(Bank Bonds) to preempt any possibility of the liquidity bank not being able to provide
funds in the future.
In addressing the global financial crisis and uncertainty in the market place, the
Sanitation District refinanced its exposure to higher reset rates and Bank Bonds existing
with its outstanding Certificates of Participation (COP), Series 2006 variable rate debt
by refunding it with the COP Series 2008C Certificate Anticipation Notes (CANs).
Page 1 of 4
In December 2008, the Sanitation District proactively refunded the 2006 COPs with the
Refunding COP Series 2008C Certificate Anticipation Notes (the 2008C CANs) to
reduce its exposure to higher variable rate costs. The yield on the 2008C CANs was
0.98% for a one-year period. The issuance of the 2008C CANs allowed the Sanitation
District to redeem the 2006 COPs at an all-in cost of less than 1 .25% and avoid paying
a bank rate of 4.75% which would have been effective starting in January 2009. As the
2008C CANs became due and payable in December 2009, the Sanitation District again
conducted a refunding by issuing the $165.865 million of Revenue Refunding Certificate
Anticipation Notes, Series 2009B (the 2009B CANs). The yield on the 2009B CANs is
0.37% for the one-year period ending December 1, 2010 and the all-in cost is 0.56%.
Staff has again recommended refunding the 2009B CANs with a new one-year CAN
that will again enable the Sanitation District to lock-in a low rate for approximately one
year without encumbering its cash reserves. Given the large single maturity, CANs can
be sold on a competitive basis in order to obtain the lowest interest rate possible.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
September 22, 2010 — Directed staff to pursue up to $167 million in one-year fixed-rate
Certificates of Participation (COP) notes to replace the one-year $165.9 million
outstanding certificates of participation notes maturing in December 2010.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation will each be required to adopt
separate Resolutions to complete this refinancing. Drafts of these two Resolutions are
attached for review. A Financing Corporation is required by the structure of the COPs
and was formed in April 2000, to satisfy this need. The Board of Directors of the
Corporation is the same as the Board of Directors of the Sanitation District and the
Corporation meets after an adjournment of the OCSD Board.
The OCSD Resolution authorizes the execution and delivery of certain legal documents
and the execution and delivery of Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes,
Series 2010B, evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to exceed
$167,000,000 all as spelled out in the title as follows:

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE
DISTRICT OF AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, A TRUST
AGREEMENT, AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION
WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION
DISTRICT REVENUE REFUNDING CERTIFICATE ANTICIPATION NOTES, SERIES
2010B, SUCH NOTES EVIDENCING PRINCIPAL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF
NOT TO EXCEED $167,000,000, APPROVING A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SELL,
AUTHORIZING THE DISTRIBUTION OF A NOTICE INVITING BIDS AND AN OFFICIAL
STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING AND SALE OF SUCH NOTES,
AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF OTHER NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND
RELATED ACTIONS."
The Resolution of the Corporation is somewhat shorter and simpler. It authorizes three
actions that are similarly enumerated in the title as follows:
"A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT FINANCING CORPORATION AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE CORPORATION OF AN INSTALLMENT

FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 10-XX, a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Orange County Sanitation District Authorizing the Execution and Delivery by the
District of an Installment Purchase Agreement, a Trust Agreement, and a Continuing
Disclosure Agreement in Connection with the Execution and Delivery of Orange
County Sanitation District Certificates of Participation to be Referred to as
Wastewater Revenue Obligations, Series 2010C, Authorizing the Execution and
Delivery of such Revenue Obligations Evidencing Principal in an Aggregate Amount
of Not to Exceed $157,000,000, Approving a Notice of Intention to Sell, Authorizing
the Distribution of an Official Notice Inviting Bids and an Official Statement in
Connection with the Offering and Sale of Such Revenue Obligations and Authorizing
the Execution and Delivery of Necessary Documents and Related Actions; and,
B. That the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation approve the
documents supporting and authorizing the Wastewater Revenue Obligations, Series
2010C, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $157,000,000.
SUMMARY
The Administration Committee and the Board of Directors have previously authorized
the execution and delivery of $157,000,000 of new Certificates of Participation and
approved the financing team consisting of an independent financial advisor, Public
Resources Advisory Group (PRAG), and bond and disclosure counsel, Fulbright &
Jaworski. Woodruff, Spradlin & Smart, the District's General Counsel, has also been
assisting staff.
The purpose of the financing is to provide a portion of the funding required for the
capital improvement program of FY 2010-2011. None of the proceeds will be used for
operations and maintenance needs. This financing is included in the 2010-11 approved
budget.
The financing is structured as new fixed rate Certificates of Participation to be referred
as Wastewater Revenue Obligations that are to be sold in a competitive sale. The final
documents will be presented to the Board and the OCSD Financing Corporation on
October 27, 2010, for final approval. Staff and consultants will make a brief
presentation and provide an overview of the draft documents and the financing
schedule at the Administration Committee meeting. A current financing schedule is
attached.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
September 22, 2010: Approved Resolution declaring Sanitation District's intent to
reimburse itself for capital outlays from a future long-term financing.
September 22, 2010: Directed staff to initiate process to issue up to $157,000,000 in
new fixed-rate Certificates of Participation (COP) debt.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Strategy
Staff is proposing to issue this $157,000,000 fixed rate debt by competitive sale as
opposed to a negotiated sale due to PRAG's opinion that a competitive fixed rate sale
will be less costly to the District. Depending on market conditions and the associated
cost savings, all, or a portion, of the debt issuance may be offered as Build America
Bonds (BABs).
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 created a new financing
product, BABs, for the municipal issuer. BABs are issued as higher interest taxable
bonds; however, the U.S. Treasury provides a 35 percent subsidy on interest payments.
The net cost, after accounting for the 35 percent subsidy payment, frequently results in
lower net costs to the issuer, specifically in the maturity years beyond ten years. The
Sanitation District began taking advantage of the BABs program with its issuance of
Wastewater Revenue Obligations, Series 2010A, for which it was able to borrow for 30
years at a rate of 3.68%. Under current market conditions, BABs continue to
outperform traditional tax-exempt bonds, and we would expect the net yield to the
District of a 30-year BABs maturity to be approximately 3.70% compared to a 30-year
tax-exempt borrowing yield of approximately 4.52% (or 82 basis points higher cost).
The current net 30-year BABs borrowing yield to the District of 3.70% compares
favorably to the Sanitation District's past traditional fixed rate tax-exempt borrowing
yields shown in the table below:
District
Series 30-Year Yields
Series 2003 5.10%
Series 2007B 4.81
Series 2009A 5.06
The 35 percent subsidy is available for certain debt issuances prior to January 1, 2011.
There are a couple of outstanding federal proposals to extend the BABs program
beyond 2010; however, these proposals reduce the subsidy from the current 35 percent
to lower levels of 32 percent (in 2011) and 30 percent (in 2012). In the current market,
a reduction of the subsidy to 30 percent and 32 percent would increase the 30-year net
borrowing cost to the Sanitation District by 28 and 17 basis points, respectively. Since it
is likely the BABs subsidy will be reduced, or may disappear, after this calendar year, in
order to optimize the funding of the overall capital improvement program, the Sanitation
District could "back-load" the $157,000,000 of new money borrowing by amortizing debt
Page 2 of 5
in the later years. Benefits from back-loading the new money issuance include (1)
capturing the higher 35 percent interest subsidy, instead of an anticipated future lower
subsidy; and, (2) minimizing the risk of rising interest rates by locking in historical low
long-term Sanitation District borrowing costs (see table above). In the example of a
back-load structure below, the deferred new money amortization compared to a more
traditional level debt service structure (equal payments in each year) saves the District
approximately $3.2 million per year from FY 2011-12 through FY 2032-33; however, net
debt service costs will increase by approximately $17 million per year from FY 2033-34
through FY 2039-40 as shown in the graph below:

If the Sanitation District back-loads the debt service on the upcoming new money
issuance, future debt funding of the capital improvement program would amortize
additional principal in the fiscal years prior to FY FY 2032-33 and reduce principal after
FY 2033-34 with the goal of overall level debt service for funding the District's capital
improvement program.
Based on current market conditions, comparing a back-loaded BABs new money
borrowing to a back-loaded tax-exempt structure would result in present value savings
to the Sanitation District of $23.2 million (14.8% present value savings) which is well in
excess of the savings the District would ever expect to achieve from a future refunding.
If the Sanitation District would refund and restructure the BABs, it could be very costly;
however, staff believes the future need to restructure the BABs is extremely remote.
Effectively, by issuing BABs, the Sanitation District should consider the debt to be non-
callable as it would otherwise be very expensive to optionally redeem.
In addition to the Sanitation District's Wastewater Revenue Obligations, Series 2010A,
other municipal issuers have sold over $135 billion of BABs since the first issuance in
Page 3 of 5
April 2009. In addition, approximately 25% of the municipal bond volume was
comprised of BABs in 2010. A number of California issuers have already each sold
over a billion dollars of BABs, including the State of California, Los Angeles Unified
School District, Bay Area Toll Authority, and University of California. California utility
issuers that have issued BABs include the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California, Sacremento County Sanitation Districts, Los Angeles Department of Water
and Power, San Diego County Water Authority, East Bay Municipal Utility District, and
the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Legal Authorization and Approvals
The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation will each be required to adopt
separate Resolutions to complete this borrowing. Drafts of these two Resolutions are
available for review on the District's webpage, as described in the "Attachments" section
below. A Financing Corporation is required by the structure of the COPs and was
formed in April 2000, solely to satisfy this need. The Board of Directors of the
Corporation is the same as the Board of Directors of the District and the Corporation
meets after an adjournment of the OCSD Board.
The OCSD Resolution authorizes the execution and delivery of certain legal documents
and the execution and delivery of Certificates of Participation to be referred to as
Wastewater Revenue Obligations, Series 2010C, evidencing principal in an aggregate
amount of not to exceed $157,000,000 all as spelled out in the title as follows:
"A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE
DISTRICT OF AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, A TRUST
AGREEMENT, AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION
WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION
DISTRICT CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION TO BE REFERRED TO AS
WASTEWATER REVENUE OBLIGATIONS, SERIES 2010C, AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUCH REVENUE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCING
PRINCIPAL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF NOT TO EXCEED $157,000,000,
APPROVING A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SELL, AUTHORIZING THE
DISTRIBUTION OF AN OFFICIAL NOTICE INVITING BIDS AND AN OFFICIAL
STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING AND SALE OF SUCH
REVENUE OBLIGATIONS, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY
OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND RELATED ACTIONS."
The Resolution of the Corporation is somewhat shorter and simpler. It authorizes three
actions that are similarly enumerated in the title as follows:

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Informational Item Re Internal Audit Reports — Review of Capital Improvement Program
Scheduling Process and Regulatory Compliance Requirements.
SUMMARY
At the direction of the Administration Committee's Audit Oversight Subcommittee,
Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP (LSL), Certified Public Accountants were engaged to apply
agreed-upon procedures on the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Scheduling
Process and Regulatory Compliance Requirements.
Attached are the Accountant Reports from LSL, the Sanitation District's contracted
internal auditors, on these two engagements. Also attached are separate reports on
staff's responses to the auditor's findings and recommendations contained within their
reports.
In summary, LSL concluded that the Sanitation District is appropriately following its
prescribed policies and procedures over the scheduling process of the CIP, however,
the design of internal controls could be improved specifically in the area of the design
phase of a capital project. Likewise, LSL concluded that the Sanitation District has
adequate policies and procedures in place over regulatory compliance requirements
and they are functioning as designed, however, certain exceptions were noted.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
December 09, 2009 — Administration Committee approved the selection of LSL, to
perform internal auditing services for the period of March 1, 2010 through February 28,
2011, in an amount not to exceed $58,670. Also at this time, the Administration
Committee established an Audit Oversight Subcommittee consisting of Directors
Waldman, Luebben, and Dalton who were assigned to meet with auditors and staff to
give direction on the scope of audit areas and to report back to the Administration
Committee on the results of audits undertaken.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
ON APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES
We have performed the procedures enumerated below which were agreed to by the management of the
Orange County Sanitation District, Fountain Valley, California (Sanitation District), solely to assist the
Sanitation District in evaluating the scheduling process for the Capital Improvement Program. This
engagement to apply agreed-upon procedures was performed in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of the procedures is
solely the responsibility of the management of the Sanitation District. 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 obtained from the performance thereof were as follows:
1. Procedures Performed: We reviewed the Sanitation District's project management policies and
procedures as they relate to scheduling and monitoring the status of capital projects. We inquired
with project team members and performed a walkthrough to determine that the proper procedures
were being followed as designed to ensure that project completion dates and milestones were
accomplished in a timely manner.
Findings: Through our review we found certain delays in the completion of capital projects to the
original time budget established by the Sanitation District. These delays could be for a variety of
reasons. We found through our walkthrough of open capital projects, that the key reasons for the
delays related to ineffective monitoring of consultant design submittals and reviews and the
inability to acquire permits in a timely manner. The Sanitation District should make improvements
through the addition of controls and a monitoring mechanism in phases 2 and 3 of the capital
project life cycle to address these issues. We recommend the following procedures be
implemented:
• Address the time delays related to acquiring required permits related to capital projects. We
recommend that the Sanitation District assign employees to be responsible for understanding
the requirements for specific permits and act as ad hoc committee members to the specific
permitting entities.
• Address the time delays related to receiving and reviewing design submittals from
consultants. We recommend that the Sanitation District implement intermittent
communications and meetings with consultants during the design submittal stages with the
intent of preventing unnecessary delays in this process. The process should also be
expanded to monitor staff to ensure these meetings are occurring and the project is
progressing appropriately.

• We recommend that the Sanitation District update its current capital project template, which
is outdated and is not an accurate reflection of the size, schedule, and complexity of the
current capital projects. Updating the capital project template could more accurately predict
the budgeted schedule and completion date.
2. Procedures Performed: We selected the following capital projects as of June 30, 2010 and tested
each project for key internal controls related to the scheduling process including approvals for
project charters, amended schedule baselines, current budget adjustments, change orders,
construction contracts, and notice to proceed. We also tested that the Sanitation District had
established milestones for both internal and the construction contractors, that capital project
schedule and cost meetings were completed, risk management plans were done, and that all
appropriate documents were properly stored and filed in the electronic data management system
(EDMS).

Findings: During our review we noted the following:
• The Sanitation District could not produce an approved amended re-baseline of Project
J- 108. From our discussion with the Sanitation District staff, the reason for this is
probably related to the Sanitation District originally filing project documents under project
manager, which may cause files to be lost when capital projects change project
managers. The Sanitation District now files documents under the project number.
LSL •

• Project documents were either not electronically filed or were not appropriately
documented in the electronic data management system (EDMS). The issues identified in
the EDMS were the result of ineffective monitoring of the electronic documents filing and
documentation. The Sanitation District should make improvements to control in the area
of monitoring over the EDMS to ensure appropriate filing and documentation.
Summary of Results
Based on our review of the Sanitation District's policies and procedures and internal controls over the
scheduling process for the capital improvement program, we found that the Sanitation District is
appropriately following its prescribed policies and procedures. However, as noted above, we found that
the design of internal controls could be improved upon specifically in the area of the design phase of a
capital project. The review was conducted in order to assess and provide feedback to the Sanitation
District regarding the scheduling process for the capital improvement program.
As noted in the previous section, we performed tests on procedures, conducted inquiries and reviewed
the procedures that have been established by the Sanitation District. We found certain exceptions and
made recommendations which are mentioned above.
Conclusion
We were not engaged to, and did not conduct an audit, the objective of which would be the expression of
an opinion on the specified elements, accounts or items. 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 the Sanitation District.
This report is intended solely for the use of the specified users listed above and is not intended to be, and
should not be, used by anyone other than those specified parties.

INDENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
ON APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES
We have performed the procedures enumerated below which were agreed to by the management of the
Orange County Sanitation District, Fountain Valley, California (Sanitation District), solely to assist the
Sanitation District in evaluating various regulatory compliance requirements for the Technical Services
Department. This engagement to apply agreed-upon procedures was performed in accordance with
attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The
sufficiency of the procedures is solely the responsibility of the management of the Sanitation District.
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 overall results of our procedures performed disclosed that the Sanitation District complied with the
various regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Technical Services Department. The
specific procedures performed and the results obtained from the performance thereof were as follows:
Air Quality Program
1. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Air Quality Program.
We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction walkthrough test
for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as designed.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.
2. Procedures Performed: We selected a sample of Title V Permits which were issued by the South
Coast Air Quality Management District and are valid through November 11, 2014. We verified the
periodic monitoring requirements were met as of June 30, 2010, in compliance with the regulatory
requirements. We also verified the Sanitation District was in compliance by submitting the semi-
annual monitoring report for the 2010 calendar year and the annual monitoring report for the 2009
calendar year to the South Coast Air Quality Management District in a timely manner. We
selected a sample of annual State regulatory requirements covering calendar year 2009, and
verified the reports were submitted in a timely manner to the various regulatory agencies
including the California Environmental Protection Agency.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.

Biosolids Program
3. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Biosolids Program. We
also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction walkthrough test for
each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as designed.
Findings: The Sanitation District prepares and submits monthly Notice and Necessary Information
(NANI) reports to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for biosolids. The reports
document readings on the biosolids and whether they are in compliance with the requirements.
The Sanitation District staff completes preparation and submission of these reports two months
after the reporting period which creates a risk that if toxicity levels were to exceed limits, then the
Sanitation District's Executive Management Team would not be made aware of the exceeding
levels in a timely manner. We recommend reviewing and reporting the information in the NANI in
the subsequent month.
4. Procedures Performed: We reviewed a sample of months for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2010, reported on the NANI to determine whether the Sanitation District is in compliance
with the regulatory requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and
conformance requirements of the Sanitation District. Information from the NANI is used to submit
the Biosolids Management Compliance Report — EPA 40 CFR Part 503 on an annual basis. We
also reviewed the Certification Statement for the EPA 40 CFR Part 503 Annual Report for the
2009 calendar and verified the report was submitted in a timely manner.
Findings: There was a compliance finding noted relating to the number of biosolid releases. The
performance measure states that the number of biosolid releases must be zero at all times.
However, we noted that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, there were two biosolid
releases: one occurred on July 14, 2009, and the other occurred on February 22, 2010. Both
incidents were the result of vendors using privately owned trucks to haul the Sanitation District's
biosolids. Biosolid release reports were properly completed and submitted to the Regional Water
Quality Control Board for both incidents.
The Sanitation District sets goals for itself to keep the number of notice of violations, inspection
findings and offsite complaints to a minimum. We noted that the Sanitation District was not in
conformance with some of the self-imposed requirements mainly relating to the Best
Management Practices in the following areas: Contractor Notice of Violations, Significant
Contractor Issues/Inspection and Off-site Complaints.
There was also a conformance issue relating to the number of on-site spills. The Sanitation
District strives to keep the number of on-site spills zero at all times. However, there were two
spills noted during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, which occurred on July 14, 2009 and
September 15, 2009. The cause of both spills was due to operator error. These conformance
issues do not have an effect on the Sanitation District's performance relating to regulatory
compliance since the issues noted relate to self-imposed requirements. We recommend the
Sanitation District continuously monitor the different compliance and conformance areas to
ensure operations are consistent with regulatory and self-imposed requirements.

Dewatering Compliance Program
5. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Dewatering Compliance
Program.
Findings: Based on our conversation with various staff at the Sanitation District, there are
currently no written programs or procedures in place to monitor on-site and off-site dewatering
discharge. We recommend the District establish policies and procedures relating to the
Dewatering Compliance Program.
Discharge Monitoring Program
6. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Discharge Monitoring
Program. We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction
walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as
designed.
Findings: The Sanitation District utilizes an electronic system for environmental compliance,
ECAP, which is used for tracking and monitoring environmental compliance. Inconsistent with
other compliance programs in ECAP, we noted that the Sanitation District's National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, which must be renewed every five years, does
not have an obligation set-up to ensure timely filing for the permit. We recommend being
consistent with other compliance programs and improving control by establishing an obligation in
ECAP to remind staff of the requirement.
7. Procedures Performed: We reviewed a sample of monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports
submitted during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, which are used by the Sanitation District to
ensure they are in compliance with the regulatory requirements set forth by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and the Regional Water Board. We also reviewed the current
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit the Sanitation District has.
Findings: Based on our review of the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports, there was a
compliance finding noted during the month of November 2009. The final effluent settleable solids
grab sample result was 12 mL/L. However, the maximum limit per the NPDES permit is 3 mL/L.
When a sample limit exceeds the required limit, the Sanitation District's Operations Manager is
required to contact the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Regional Water
Board by submitting a staff report explaining the incident and what the Sanitation District plans to
do to correct the issue. We verified the report was submitted to the regulatory agencies on
November 19, 2009, and was properly addressed. We recommend the Sanitation District
continue to follow its policy and procedure to monitor the wastewater that is discharged into the
ocean on a regular basis to determine whether it is under the appropriate levels of certain
chemicals as specified by the regulatory agencies. We reviewed the current NPDES permit the
Sanitation District has and determined the permit expired in 2009 but is in effect until the
Sanitation District obtains their new permit which has already submitted for renewal.

Environmental Auditing Program and ECAP
(Environmental Compliance Awareness Program)
8. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with conformance requirements relating to the Environmental Auditing Program and
ECAP (Environmental Compliance Awareness Program). We also tested internal controls over
compliance and performed a transaction walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the
proper procedures were being followed as designed.
Findings: Based on our review of ECAP, we noted that there were some inconsistencies with the
level of detail regarding the different compliance programs. There are some programs, such as
the Air Quality Program, which has a very high level of detail by listing out all of the different
compliance and conformance requirements. However, there are other programs, such as Storm
Water, which do not have any compliance and conformance requirements listed. To remain
consistent with all of the compliance programs, we recommend the Sanitation District thoroughly
review each compliance area to determine all compliance and conformance requirements have
been properly set up. This will help mitigate the risk that deadlines may be overlooked. This will
also assist when there may be turnover because it will be easier for a new staff person to go into
ECAP and review each area to determine the different requirements they may be responsible for.
This finding was also noted in an internal audit conducted by the Sanitation District's
Environmental Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Division which occurred in the beginning of the
2010 calendar year.
Hazardous Waste Program
9. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Hazardous Waste
Program. We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction
walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as
designed.
Findings: Based on our review of the information in ECAP relating to the Hazardous Waste
Program, we noted that there were some conformance areas not included in ECAP mainly
relating to the following: recordkeeping of exception reports and biennial reporting. Although there
are some compliance and conformance areas already included in ECAP, we recommend the
Sanitation District thoroughly review the information listed in ECAP to ensure all pertinent
information is included.
10. Procedures Performed: Manifests are required to be used by the Sanitation District to record
information related to the shipment of biosolids. We selected a sample of manifests submitted
during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, and reviewed each manifest to determine the
following Federal and State compliance requirements were met: in accordance with 40 CFR
§262.40 and 22 CCR §66262.40, the Sanitation District must retain a copy of the manifest for
three years; in accordance with 40 CFR §262.42 and 22 CCR §66262.42, if the `Designated
Facility to Generator' copy of the manifest is not received by the Sanitation District within 45 days
of the shipment, an exception report must be prepared and sent to the Department of Toxic
Substance and Control (DTSC) informing them that the copy has not been received; in
accordance with 22 CCR§66262.23, the Sanitation District must submit a copy of the manifest to

DTSC within 30 days of each shipment; and in accordance with 40 CFR §262.23 and 22 CCR
§66262.23, the Sanitation District and the transporter must sign and date the manifest.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.
Ocean Monitoring Program
11. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Ocean Monitoring
Program. We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction
walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as
designed.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.
Sanitary Sewer Overflow Program
12. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Sanitary Sewer
Overflow Program. We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction
walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as
designed.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.
13. Procedures Performed: When a sanitary sewer overflow occurs, the Sanitation District is required
to prepare a Sanitary Sewer Overflow report and submit it to the Regional Water Quality Control
Board and the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA). We selected a sample of Sanitary
Sewer Overflow reports that occurred during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, and tested
them for compliance with OCHCA regulatory requirements. We tested them for the various
category attributes.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.
Storm Water Program
14. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Storm Water Program.
We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction walkthrough test
for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as designed.
Findings: The Sanitation District is currently not using ECAP to monitor the Storm Water Program
because the staff member that is in charge of the program is fairly new to the program and is in
the process of compiling the information. There is currently only one conformance task related to
the program that is included in ECAP. To be consistent with the other compliance areas, we
LSE::0
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Administration Committee
Orange County Sanitation District

recommend the Sanitation District include all regulatory compliance and conformance issues in
ECAP so that staff clearly understand what is required to be in compliance with the program.
15. Procedures Performed: We selected a sample of off-site construction projects that were active
during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, to determine whether the construction company was
in compliance with the regulations set forth by the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB). We reviewed the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and verified the
following components were included: a notice of intent was properly submitted to the SWRCB, all
mandatory requirements were properly included in the SWPPP and the permit was renewed on
an annual basis and in a timely manner.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.
Underground Storage Tanks Program
16. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Underground Storage
Tanks Program. We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction
walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as
designed.
Findings: The Sanitation District currently has only one Underground Storage Tank (UST)
Designated Operator in the Operations Department. It is the responsibility of the UST Designated
Operator to receive an annual certification. To maintain compliance with the UST program, we
recommend the Sanitation District designate an alternate UST Designated Operator in the event
that the current UST Designated Operator may be unable to fulfill his duties. This
recommendation was previously made by the Sanitation District's Environmental Compliance and
Regulatory Affairs Division to the supervisor for the current Designated Operator
17. Procedures Performed: We reviewed the compliance requirements set forth by the Orange
County Health Care Agency which the Sanitation District must comply with to obtain the Annual
Permit from the County of Orange Certified Unified Program Agency. We verified the Sanitation
District was in compliance by performing bi-weekly inspections for the 2009 calendar year and
annual inspections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 at Plant 1, Plant 2 and the Main
Street Pump Station. We also verified the annual pipe integrity testing for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2010, was performed in a timely manner for the Main Street Pump Station underground
storage tank. We verified the Sanitation District obtained the annual permit for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2010.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.
Summary of Results
Based on our review of the Sanitation District's policies and procedures and internal controls over
regulatory compliance requirements for the Technical Services Department, we believe that overall,
the Sanitation District has adequate policies and procedures in place and they are functioning as
designed. The review was conducted in order to assess and provide feedback to the Sanitation
District regarding regulatory compliance requirements for the Technical Services Department.

DATE: September 10, 2010
TO: Mike White
Controller
FROM: Jim Herberg
Director of Engi ring
SUBJECT: Independent Accountant's Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures for the
Scheduling Process of the Capital Improvement Program
The following response is made to the key recommendations presented in Lance, Soll &
Lunghard's Independent Accountant's Report dated July 28, 2010.
Recommendation No. 1:
Address the time delays related to acquiring required permits related to capital projects.
We recommend that the Sanitation District assign employees to be responsible for
understanding the requirements for specific permits and act as ad hoc committee
members to the specific permitting entities.
Response
We agree that improvements are warranted in this area. However, sometimes delays
caused by permitting agencies are beyond the control of the Orange County Sanitation
District (Sanitation District).
Action Plan Outline:
• Air Quality and Water Discharge permitting will continue to be handled by the
Environmental Compliance group. The recent transfer of this group into the
Engineering Department will strengthen this support.
• For all other project permits, a position from our existing staffing will be assigned to
lead the permitting process and to be the main contact with permitting agencies.
Project Managers will retain overall responsibility and accountability for permitting on
their projects.
• The Project Management Supervisor will ensure that all Project Managers are
consistently tracking permit status on their project schedules and in the Project
Controls System.
Page 2 of 5
September 10, 2010
Recommendation No. 2:
Address the time delays related to receiving and reviewing design submittals from
consultants. We recommend that the Sanitation District implement intermittent
communications and meetings with consultants during the design submittal stages with
the intent of preventing unnecessary delays in this process. The process should also be
expanded to monitor staff to ensure these meetings are occurring and the project is
progressing appropriately.
Response
We agree that improved interaction and oversight is warranted in addition to the current
periodic meetings to monitor progress and resolve design issues. These improvements
are needed in the areas of design consultant management and progress monitoring/
reporting.
Action Plan Outline:
• Design Consultant Management:
o The Project Management Supervisor will provide consistent review of all design
scopes of work and schedules to ensure that schedules are realistic and account
for the timing of key decisions.
o Plan and schedule design workshops a minimum of four weeks in advance to
allow for scheduling of resources and to ensure timely review of submittals. This
is a common practice but will be formalized in procedures and guidelines for
consistency.
o Include "over-the-shoulder" progress reviews of project plans at the consultant's
offices in our procedures and guidelines to improve communication and address
potential schedule risks earlier in the design process.
• Progress Monitoring and Reporting:
o The Project Management Supervisor will ensure that all project schedules are
being tracked and updated and will pay particular attention to design submittal
and design review status.
Page 3 of 5
September 10, 2010
Recommendation No. 3:
We recommend that the Sanitation District update its current capital project template,
which is outdated and is not an accurate reflection of the size, schedule, and complexity
of the current capital projects. Updating the capital project template could more
accurately predict the budgeted schedule and completion date.
Response
We agree that the template needs to be updated to reflect revised procedures and
lessons learned. Schedule templates are designed to meet all the basic project
guidelines and interfaces of a generic project and must always be customized for each
project. Schedule templates are also currently being updated to include cost controls
imbedded in the schedule to help with tracking of contingency and Board Authorized
change amounts.
Action Plan Outline:
• Critically review schedule templates and activities for:
o New processes and procedures and routine activities not currently included.
o Items that are no longer needed or are not routinely applicable.
o Activity relationships that may be critical or incorrect.
o Approval timelines required by Contracts Administration, Management, or the
Board of Directors.
o Develop different templates based on project type, size, and complexity, and
create a template schedule to more accurately predict completion dates.
• Implement improved tracking of contingency and GM Authorization using schedule
work packages in Primavera software (this planning is mostly complete at this time).
Findings:
Project documents were either not electronically filed or were not appropriately
documented in the electronic data management system (EDMS). The Sanitation
District should properly manage their electronic documents for capital projects. The
issues identified in the EDMS are the result of decentralized electronic database input
and the lack of effective monitoring of the electronic documents filing and
documentation at either plant facilities. The Sanitation District should implement a
centralized electronic database input method and create a document filing procedure.
Page 4 of 5
September 10, 2010
Response
We agree that, over time, searching for documents in the EDMS has become more
cumbersome and needs to be streamlined. This may have led to some difficulties in
searching for documents.
After receipt of the audit report and a subsequent list of documents that could not be
located in the EDMS by the audit team, our staff was able to quickly locate all of the
documents. However, this is most likely due to staffs unique understanding of the
changes that have been made to the EDMS, and it would be difficult for someone not
having this experience to readily locate the documents.
We also note that since there are several "owners" of documents throughout the
organization, the Master List of Files (MLF) is the central organizational structure that
captures the enterprise-wide filing procedure as it relates to project documentation. At
this time, both the Document Control procedure and the MLF are undergoing a revision
to reflect recent organization and process changes. In addition, responsibility for the
Engineering EDMS has been transferred to the Information Technology Division (IT)
since the audit was conducted.
IT is working across all of the departments to develop a District-wide document control
solution to bring all of the documents into a central electronic filing structure.
Action Plan Outline:
• Finalize new Document Management policies and procedures and roll out to staff
with training (nearly complete).
• Finalize changes to Master List of Files and roll out to staff with training (team is
defined and meets regularly).
• Finalize development of the Document Management Quality Assurance policies and
procedures, including monitoring of the electronic documents filing (team is defined
and meets regularly).
• Work with IT to finalize the new Electronic Content Management (ECM) effort. As
part of this effort, OCSD is developing taxonomy of standardized searchable terms
and defining the new software protocol that will be the future upgrade to the EDMS
(Work groups defined, team meets regularly).

ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Memorandum
DATE: October 4,2010
TO: Mike White Ilt
FROM: Jim Colston
SUBJECT: Responses to Revised AUP Report for Technical Services Department
Please find below the responses by the Environmental Compliance Division to the Findings of the AUP
Report. I did not respond to those areas without Findings. Some minor changes have occurred in
divisional roles and responsibilities due to the recent re-engineering within the agency. I believe that I
have captured these changes appropriately.
General Comments
The Environmental Compliance Division is pleased to confirm that no violations,failures to report,or other
non-compliance events occurred during the period of review of the Independent Accountants' Report
issued on July 28,2010.As noted,there was a onetime event when the effluent from the ocean discharge
exceeded the permit limit; however,this event was excused by the regulators since it occurred during the
planned start-up of rehabilitated secondary treatment facilities. In order to avoid non-compliance events,
the compliance and regulatory affairs staff utilize a layered approach to protect the Sanitation District:
regulatory advocacy,environmental permit negotiation,documentation and training on permit
requirements, routine and special reporting,and review of all compliance related incidences to reduce
threats of future non-compliance.
Much of the compliance related discussion in the report revolves around what staff refers to as
conformance measures or standards.These are internal control targets based on policy or best
management practices developed through the best professional judgment of the staff.Within the area of
biosolids management, many of the biosolids conformance measures relate to our vendors including the
trucking and recycling of the biosolids. Based on this report and recent changes in the management of
our biosolids program,staff is reevaluating the manner that conformance is measured to assure a timely
and proper response by OCSD staff. We will not measure OCSD's direct conformance based on 3nd party
actions, but rather the manner in which vendors are managed and held accountable to fulfill their contract
obligations.
In the case of compliance requirements that apply to vendors, OCSD may still be held accountable for
failures by our contractors to fulfill contractual obligations.An example of this is the application of a
stormwater permit for the construction of new facilities. If an OCSD owned construction site does not
meet stormwater requirements,the regulators will pursue enforcement against OCSD(and possibly the
contractor). In this instance,OCSD has an active interest in measuring contractor compliance equivalent
to our own. Both compliance and conformance are actively tracked in the Environmental Compliance
Awareness Program.This program provides staff and management a readily accessible view of the
compliance status of environmental programs.
Biosollds Program
Finding#3
Procedures Performed:We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation Districts process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Biosolids Program.We
Mike White
Page 2 of 6
also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction walkthrough test for
each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as designed.
Findings:The Sanitation District prepares and submits monthly Notice and Necessary Information
(NANI)reports to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for biosolids.The reports
document readings on the biosolids and whether they are in compliance with the requirements.
The Sanitation District staff completes preparation and submission of these reports two months
after the reporting period which creates a risk that if toxicity levels were to exceed limits,then the
Sanitation District's Executive Management Team would not be made aware of the exceeding
levels in a timely manner. We recommend reviewing and reporting the information in the NANI in
the subsequent month.
Response:See the General Comments above regarding planned changes to this area.OCSD
uses logs, round sheets, monitoring data in the CRISP database, and pass down meetings to
monitor daily operations and notify supervisors and managers of any digester holding time or
temperature issues. Analytical monitoring data from the contract laboratory is reviewed against
historical values for any results that might be outside normal ranges. In the event that any
parameter exceeds established criteria, management is notified immediately.The information
included in the Notice and Necessary Information(NANI)report needs to be reviewed by several
staff at various stages of report production to ensure its accuracy. Because of this,the current
period between the reporting month and NANI report distribution is considered acceptable to
assure management of the agency's compliance status. At this time Environmental Compliance
is not able to decrease the amount of time necessary to prepare the formal report due to the
amount of time that it takes to receive the information from other Divisions and vendors used in
the preparation of the report.
Finding#4
Procedures Performed: We reviewed a sample of months for the fiscal year ending
June 30,2010, reported on the NANI to determine whether the Sanitation District is in compliance
with the regulatory requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and
conformance requirements of the Sanitation District. Information from the NANI is used to submit
the Biosolids Management Compliance Report—EPA 40 CFR Part 503 on an annual basis.We
also reviewed the Certification Statement for the EPA 40 CFR Part 503 Annual Report for the
2009 calendar and verified the report was submitted in a timely manner.
Findings:There was a compliance finding noted relating to the number of biosolid releases.The
performance measure states that the number of biosolid releases must be zero at all times.
However,we noted that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010,there were two biosolid
releases:one occurred on July 14,2009, and the other occurred on February 22,2010. Both
incidents were the result of vendors using privately owned trucks to haul the Sanitation District's
biosolids. Biosolids release reports were properly completed and submitted to the Regional Water
Quality Control Board for both incidents.
Response:See the General Comments above regarding planned changes to this area.As
implied by the regulation (Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.AZDEQ Title 18, Ch. 9.
Article 10 section R18-9-1011.D), releases/leaks do sometimes occur. In both instances
mentioned in the finding above,OCSD complies with the regulations by notifying and reporting to
the pertinent authorities. Additionally,following a release of biosolids, ECRA staff evaluates
current truckloading and hauling procedures,changes them as appropriate and provides
additional training to operators and haulers.OCSD sets an internal goal of no releases in order to
ensure they are minimized, corrective actions are adequate,ensure that management is
Mike White
Page 3 of 6
informed, and that staff, management,and contractors give proper priority and resources to this
issue.
The Sanitation District sets goals for itself to keep the number of notice of violations, inspection
findings and offsite complaints to a minimum.We noted that the Sanitation District was not in
conformance with some of the self-imposed requirements mainly relating to the Best
Management Practices in the following areas: Contractor Notice of Violations,Significant
Contractor Issues/Inspection and Off-site Complaints.
Response: See the General Comments above regarding planned changes to this area.As with
the previous finding,OCSD sets internal goals for peak performance(e.g., no Notice of
Violations, no off-site complaints,and minimal issues). This ensures that if the performance of
our contractors is less than ideal,staff, management, and contractors give proper priority and
resources to the respective issues.The national standard,to which OCSD's biosolids
management program is certified, requires that we"demonstrate oversight and control of our
biosolids contractors." Therefore,OCSD works closely with our contractors to identify and
resolve any issues that might jeopardize their sustainability,such as Notices of Violation,
neighbor complaints and other significant site issues.Although OCSD chooses to contract some
duties,we ensure the proper performance of these activities and OCSD monitors response
through key performance indicators. Each issue is tracked and documented through OCSD's
Biosolids Issue Tracker; a summary of all open issues that trigger an exceedence of the KPI are
reported to management in the monthly report and discussed at a quarterly interdepartmental
biosolids management team meeting.
There was also a conformance issue relating to the number of on-site spills. The Sanitation
District strives to keep the number of on-site spills zero at all times. However,there were two
spills noted during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010,which occurred on July 14,2009 and
September 15, 2009. The cause of both spills was due to operator error.These conformance
issues do not have an effect on the Sanitation District's performance relating to regulatory
compliance since the issues noted relate to self-imposed requirements.We recommend the
Sanitation District continuously monitor the different compliance and conformance areas to
ensure operations are consistent with regulatory and self-imposed requirements.
Response:OCSD believes that it is better to set goals that reflect expected peak performance
and drive continual improvement. As stated in the responses above,setting goals in this manner
is key to ensuring OCSD's goal of a sustainable biosolids program is realized and to ensure our
high standards are implemented.
Dewatering Compliance Program
Finding#5
Procedures Performed:We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Dewatering Compliance
Program.
Findings: Based on our conversation with various staff at the Sanitation District,there are
currently no written programs or procedures in place to monitor on-site and off-site dewatering
discharge.We recommend the District establish policies and procedures relating to the
Dewatering Compliance Program.
Mike White
Page 4of6
Response:The Sanitation District currently has no plans to use the dewatering permit;however,
Environmental compliance will use the ECAP system to assure the completion of monthly non-
use certification reports as well as the permit renewal process. If use of the permit is anticipated
in the future, Environmental Compliance will establish standard operating procedures for use of
the permit.
Discharge Monitoring Report Program
Finding#6
Procedures Performed:We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising
the program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Discharge Monitoring
Program.We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction
walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as
designed.
Findings:The Sanitation District utilizes an electronic system for environmental compliance,
ECAP,which is used for tracking and monitoring environmental compliance. Inconsistent with
other compliance programs in ECAP,we noted that the Sanitation District's National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)permit,which must be renewed every five years,does
not have an obligation set-up to ensure timely filing for the permit.We recommend being
consistent with other compliance programs and improving control by establishing an obligation in
ECAP to remind staff of the requirement.
Response: Staff agrees with this finding.As the renewal of the permit is pending,the new 5-year
permit period will not begin until the new permit is issued. Once the permit is issued,the new
renewal date will be added to the ECAP system along with the numerous other requirements of
the new permit.The new permit is expected early in 2011.
Finding#7
Procedures Performed:We reviewed a sample of monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports
submitted during the fiscal year ending June 30,2010,which are used by the Sanitation District to
ensure they are in compliance with the regulatory requirements set forth by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and the Regional Water Board.We also reviewed the current
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)Permit the Sanitation District has.
Findings: Based on our review of the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports,there was a
compliance finding noted during the month of November 2009. The final effluent settleable solids
grab sample result was 12 mUL. However,the maximum limit per the NPDES permit is 3 mUL.
When a sample limit exceeds the required limit,the Sanitation District's Operations Manager is
required to contact the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Regional Water
Board by submitting a staff report explaining the incident and what the Sanitation District plans to
do to correct the issue. We verified the report was submitted to the regulatory agencies on
November 19, 2009,and was properly addressed.We recommend the Sanitation District
continue to follow its policy and procedure to monitor the wastewater that is discharged into the
ocean on a regular basis to determine whether it is under the appropriate levels of certain
chemicals as specified by the regulatory agencies.We reviewed the current NPDES permit the
Sanitation District has and determined the permit expired in 2009 but is in effect until the
Sanitation District obtains their new permit which has already submitted for renewal.
Response: Finding noted.

Environmental Auditing Program and ECAP(Environmental Compliance Awareness Program)
Finding#8
Procedures Performed:We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with conformance requirements relating to the Environmental Auditing Program and
ECAP(Environmental Compliance Awareness Program).We also tested internal controls over
compliance and performed a transaction walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the
proper procedures were being followed as designed.
Findings: Based on our review of ECAP,we noted that there were some inconsistencies with the
level of detail regarding the different compliance programs.There are some programs, such as
the Air Quality Program,which has a very high level of detail by listing out all of the different
compliance and conformance requirements. However,there are other programs, such as Storm
Water,which do not have any compliance and conformance requirements listed.To remain
consistent with all of the compliance programs,we recommend the Sanitation District thoroughly
review each compliance area to determine all compliance and conformance requirements have
been properly set up.This will help mitigate the risk that deadlines may be overlooked.This will
also assist when there may be turnover because it will be easier for a new staff person to go into
ECAP and review each area to determine the different requirements they may be responsible for.
This finding was also noted in an internal audit conducted by the Sanitation District's
Environmental Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Division which occurred in the beginning of the
2010 calendar year.
Response: By January 31,2011 the Environmental Compliance Division will establish minimum
criteria for all compliance areas within ECAP covering compliance, conformance and the
knowledge base.An implementation schedule for the minimum criteria will be determined in
consultation with subject matter experts.
Hazardous Waste Program
Finding#9
Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Hazardous Waste
Program.We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction
walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as
designed.
Findings: Based on our review of the information in ECAP relating to the Hazardous Waste
Program,we noted that there were some conformance areas not included in ECAP mainly
relating to the following: recordkeeping of exception reports and biennial reporting.Although there
are some compliance and conformance areas already included in ECAP,we recommend the
Sanitation District thoroughly review the information listed in ECAP to ensure all pertinent
information is included.
Response:We are exempt from filing a biennial report and staff have updated ECAP to include
exception reporting under waste manifest tracking. This program has been moved to the new
Risk Management Division.We will provide these findings to them for further consideration.

Storm Water Program
Finding#14
Procedures Performed:We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Storm Water Program.
We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction walkthrough test
for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as designed.
Findings:The Sanitation District is currently not using ECAP to monitor the Storm Water Program
because the staff member that is in charge of the program is fairly new to the program and is in
the process of compiling the information.There is currently only one conformance task related to
the program that is included in ECAP.To be consistent with the other compliance areas,we
recommend the Sanitation District include all regulatory compliance and conformance issues in
ECAP so that staff clearly understand what is required to be in compliance with the program.
Response: See Response to#8 Finding above.
Underground Storage Tanks Program
Finding#16
Procedures Performed:We inquired with personnel involved with monitoring and supervising the
program to obtain an understanding about the Sanitation District's process for ensuring
compliance with regulatory and conformance requirements relating to the Underground Storage
Tanks Program.We also tested internal controls over compliance and performed a transaction
walkthrough test for each procedure to determine the proper procedures were being followed as
designed.
Findings:The Sanitation District currently has only one Underground Storage Tank(UST)
Designated Operator in the Operations Department. It is the responsibility of the UST Designated
Operator to receive an annual certification.To maintain compliance with the UST program,we
recommend the Sanitation District designate an alternate UST Designated Operator in the event
that the current UST Designated Operator may be unable to fulfill his duties.This
recommendation was previously made by the Sanitation District's Environmental Compliance and
Regulatory Affairs Division to the supervisor for the current Designated Operator.
Response:This Finding will be provided to the Maintenance Supervisor in the Operations and
Maintenance Department for further action.

Informational item regarding the Information Technology Three-Year Strategic Plan -
FY2010 - 2013.
SUMMARY
The Information Technology Strategic Plan (ITSP) aligns Information Technology with
OCSD's mission, vision, and business goals, and establishes the overall goals and
direction of the IT efforts at OCSD. In 2008, IT internally developed a three-year
strategic plan. The resources necessary to implement the plan are committed during
OCSD's two-year budget cycle. The ITSP is updated to coincide with this budget cycle.
The attached three-year ITSP is the culmination of the endeavor to create the plan that
ties Information Technology's efforts directly to OCSD's strategic plan.
The creation of the ITSP involved the following actions:
• Assess the current state of IT.
• Assess the needs of the agency to fulfill the Strategic Plan.
• Determine the gaps between the current state and the technology requirements.
• Determine general and specific solutions to fill those gaps.
• Develop annual IT roadmaps and work plans using the IT governance process
and projected availability of resources.
• Obtain funding for IT efforts identified in the ITSP.
Based on the above actions, specific goals and levels of service were defined that IT
needs to achieve to realize the vision, goals, and service levels of OCSD. High level
goals include improving our computing infrastructure, completing a document
management system, and continue to implement best practices frameworks. Finally,
recommendations were developed to budget for specific efforts.
Richard Castillon, the District's Information Technology Systems and Operation
Manager, will present the ITSP at the Administration Committee Meeting and discuss
IT's strategy going forward.

MESSAGE from t h e
IT SYSTEMS and
OPERATIONS MANAGER
During the last decade, the Information Technology(IT) Department has operated
effectively to provide IT services and technology solutions that improve business
efficiencies at the Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD). As resources have
become scarce, it has been important that we implemented a governance process in
which all stakeholders gave necessary input to prioritize and assign IT resources. This
decision making process now places IT resources where they are needed the most.
Following our strategic planning process, I am proud to present this plan that continues
charting our course for the next three years. The mission, vision, and guiding principles
adopted as part of the previous plan continue to form the building blocks for our
continued success.
As IT staff relocated to the administration building, we began the effort of reorganizing
in a framework that adopts the Information Technology Infrastructure Library(ITIL)
standard. This standard is a collection of best practices that aim to improve and then
maintain a certain level of computing services quality in the information technology
sector.All of the IT technical staff attended the multi-day ITIL foundation training and
over 90% of those obtained certifications. IT reorganized to incorporate the prescribed
functions and is phasing in formal implementation of the 24 ITIL processes.
IT staff has expended a tremendous effort to define operating and solutions initiatives
and implement a detailed planning process to match initiatives with available resources.
Combined with the governance process, these efforts form the baseline for the
centralized IT budget. Line items for annual technology operating and capital expenses
will be included in OCSD's next two year budget. The Strategic Plan for IT should be
viewed in concert with OCSD's Strategic Plan and the District's budget. Together, these
documents plan for information technology now and in the future.We will review and
update this plan annually to adjust goals and expenditures as changing conditions
dictate.
I am grateful to the IT team and the many people and executive sponsors in the OCSD
community who contributed their time, ideas„ and feedback to the strategic planning
process. I extend special thanks to Water &Wastewater CIO forum and the Municipal
Information System Association of California who act as peers in collaborating within
local government to contribute to the success of our IT operations.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard A. Castillon
IT Systems and Operations Manager

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In January 2008, OCSD's Executive Management Team (EMT) adopted a new
comprehensive IT strategic plan. This plan aligned IT with the Orange County
Sanitation District's (OCSD) mission, vision, and business goals and established the
overall goals and direction of the IT efforts at OCSD. This ITSP closely followed the
new Orange County Sanitation District Five-Year Strategic Plan.
This year, the IT Strategic Plan is being updated to continue looking forward at a three-
year horizon. Following a similar process to last year's plan, senior IT staff interacted
with senior technical staff in all divisions to determine their business needs and explore
business process improvements. Once this information was gathered, the IT Systems and
Operations Manager met with division managers to validate the information and get
their input on current and future technology needs required to support their respective
operations. These sessions were followed-up with meetings with the Managers Team
(MT) and the EMT to discuss and prioritize changes and additions to the plan.
Driven by our mission,vision, and guiding principles, this Strategic Plan, updated for
2010, continues our aggressive efforts to enable OCSD to achieve its vision and levels of
service by maximizing the contribution of technology solutions.
In the past year, significant progress was made in most of the goals and the goal to
implement a collaboration framework was completed. This year, we will add the
objective to utilize emerging technologies to increase efficiencies that can reduce OCSD's
projected environmental footprint.
This Strategic Plan will continue to address the objectives and challenges facing
Information Technology and OCSD now and into the next three years.
• Participate as business leaders at the enterprise level
• Integrate tightly with OCSD's business units
• Address solutions from a business perspective at the enterprise balcony
• Enhance visibility of compliance of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) using
business intelligence tools
• Use governance models to make decisions on proposed large technology-
driven
efforts
• Identify annual technology budget requirements
• Reduce "islands of information"with integrated database solutions
• Continue to promote and update our Geographic Information System (GIS)
This ITSP will continue to be updated each budget cycle to reflect and support the latest
OCSD goals and changing levels of service. This is the opportunity, using best practices,
to enhance the way OCSD serves its mission of protecting the public health and the
environment by providing effective wastewater collection, treatment, and recycling using
well planned and managed information technology.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
MISSION and VISION
Information Technology Mission Statement
We enable the Orange County Sanitation District to achieve its vision and levels of
service by maximizing the contribution of technology solutions.
Information Technology Vision Statement
We are recognized for our leadership and technical proficiencies and for our ability
to seamlessly partner with our customers to create and deliver high quality services
and sound business solutions that are consistent within our industry. These services
are delivered through a robust infrastructure that is modern, secure, responsive,
reliable and available.
To achieve this vision, the IT Division is committed to the following Guiding
Principles.
Information Technology Guiding Principles
These guiding principles are formed from a broad and high-level perspective. They
will guide IT for many years to come, irrespective of changes in its goals, strategies,
type of work, or the top management.
• Adopt and implement a set of best practices as defined in recognized IT programs
Using best practices such as the Information Technology Infrastructure Library
(ITIL) provides operational guidance that enables our IT organization to achieve
system reliability, availability, supportability, and manageability of IT products
and technologies. Using these practices to guide our organization,we will be able
to assess our current IT service management maturity, prioritize the processes of
greatest concern, and apply proven principles and best practices to optimize the
management of our various platforms.
• Utilize a broad collection of partners to act as virtual IT team members
This virtual extension of the IT staff provides consulting and partnering as well as
hardware, software, networking, hosting, and support services. In the future,
external partners will be the primary owners and suppliers of select technologies
which will focus on their core competencies of building and running
applications. Interfacing with our peers will provide networking opportunities
and coalitions to solve common problems while sharing resources.
2
• Make the best possible business decisions in which IT staff uses a business-driven
consultative approach
IT is no longer just a service provider;we cross organizational boundaries and
therefore need to develop relationships while becoming intimately familiar with
the business processes of the divisions that we support. IT staff needs to become
stewards of corporate information and partner with our customers to generate
ideas for business innovation.
• Increase IT's commitment to proactively stay on top of new and emerging
technologies and practices to ensure quality and cost-effective solutions
As IT moves from being an "IT service provider" towards a "value-added business
partner",we must have practical awareness of current applications, platforms, and
technologies in order to offer technology solutions. IT will move to cross-training
staff and will invest in technical training to ensure competencies.
• Simplify solutions to lower ongoing maintenance and support costs
Support costs greatly exceed initial procurement costs. IT will standardize on
hardware and software and move to consolidate the number of servers. Whenever
possible,we will avoid customizing commercial off the shelf software and instead,
encourage business process change to match the software. We will use an
enterprise approach in designing and integrating solutions and avoid building
islands of information.

Strategic Goals
Completing the following goals enable OCSD to provide effective wastewater
collection, treatment, and recycling. These goals target areas that will effectively enable
IT to fulfill our mission of maximizing the contribution of technology solutions. In
order to keep the goals as meaningful as possible, we have limited their horizon to the
next 36 months. In some cases, full implementation of a goal or objective will require
additional objectives that have not yet been included in this document or budgetary
resources that are not yet available. The underlying goals and objectives will be
evaluated during the initial undertaking of this strategic Plan and updated annually.
Solutions specific to divisional needs identified during the ITSP interview process are
identified in the Financial Section of this strategic Plan.
The IT Project Management Office (PMO) controls local project plans for each goal
that includes operationalizing each goal, responsible parties, resource requirements,
and metrics to measure progress. The local project information is sent to the OCSD
Agency PMO where the project plans rollup into the Agency project plan.
Goal 1 : Telecommunications System
OCSD's former PBX telephone system has been replaced with an Internet
Protocol UP) enabled system that is integrated with our network and email
system. Completing the unified messaging infrastructure will permit users
to retrieve and send voice, fax, and e-mail messages from a single interface,
whether it be a wired phone,wireless phone, PC, or Internet-enabled PC.
Our current Public Address system has been upgraded to include all
normally occupied buildings. Additions to the system will ensure that
emergency announcements will be audible in select plant process areas.
Telecommunication systems will be extended to field staff through wireless
networking and staff will have real-time connectivity to OCSD's computer
applications via the internet. The Federal Communications Commission
has mandated that our current plant radio system be replaced with new
technology. The replacement effort will include all base radios, mobile
radios, and handheld units.
Objective 1.1: Complete the expansion of the enterprise public address (PA)system
Objective 1.2: Complete the implementation of the wireless infrastructure
Objective 1.3: Provide remote connectivity to plant field staff
Objective 1.4: Complete the configuration of the unified messaging system
Objective 1.5: Replace the plant radio system
5
Goal 2: Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
The OCSD IT Steering Committee authorized development and
installation of an ECM system. Based on Microsoft SharePoint, this
solution will allow all departments to facilitate collaboration with staff and
outside parties and supply access to information that is essential to
organizational goals. Solutions will be available to effectively implement
business processes and provide data repositories on key performance
indicators. There will also be a simple library where forms can be accessed,
filled out, sent, and authenticated in a paperless environment. A
comprehensive ECM solution will address records management, document
management, image management, content management,workflow, and
collaboration. The fully developed enterprise system will include all of
OCSD's major computer activities such as financial, plant operations,
Human Resources and Maintenance. The final system will share
information to provide a single data source for reporting and decision
making.
Objective 2.1: Complete the development of an enterprise taxonomy
Objective 2.2: Upgrade the current software based framework to support the ECM
process
Objective 2.3: Identify, upgrade, and install applicable plug-in software
applications
Objective 2.4: Continue to populate the forms library
Objective 2.5: Execute the complete enterprise ECM plan
Goal 3 : Emergency Operations and Business Continuity
OCSD has been prudent in developing solutions to recover water treatment
processes in the event of an emergency. The current Emergency Operations
Center(EOC) lacks significant technology to coordinate OCSD's
operations with outside agencies. Such technology must be identified,
acquired, and implemented in our current and future EOC. A business
continuity plan that prepares business functions for future incidents that
could jeopardize the organization's core mission and its long-term health
needs to be developed. This includes creating an offsite location where
operations essential to OCSD would be relocated. This site requires
computing and telecommunication resources and data be made available to
continue operations.
Objective 3.1: Be a leader on the team that develops the Business Recovery Plan
Objective 3.2: Architect the new Business Recovery Site
Objective 3.3: Virtualize applications wherever possible to shorten recovery time
Objective 3.4: Identify and architect an Emergency Operations Site
Objective 3.5: Identify, procure and install appropriate software and hardware for
each site
6
Goal 4: Network Infrastructure
The wastewater treatment process facilities are currently undergoing major
capital improvements. Much of the equipment has built-in intelligence and
must be connected to the process network as inputs to local computer
resources. The information is eventually input in to the Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system,which needs to be isolated
from the office network. The current process network needs to be greatly
expanded to handle the increase in secure traffic. Fail-safe connectivity
between Plant 1, Plant 2, and the remote pump stations needs to be
designed and installed. The process areas of the plant shall be covered with
wireless communication access to the network to allow staff access to the
computing resources required to fulfill their mission. With this increased
data growth, new data storage capacity will be calculated and installed.
Objective 4.1: Architect and implement a new Plant Process Network that meets
the required capacity and security requirements
Objective 4.2: Create Wireless Campus Process Areas for each Treatment Plant
Objective 4.3: Architect and implement a complete Data Storage Solution that
addresses current and future data growth
Objective 4.4: Install a new Interplant Fiber Optic Line
Objective 4.5: Provide network connectivity for the new remote facilities
Objective 4.6: Update network connectivity to the pump/lift stations
Goal 5: Enterprise Obsolescence
Major OCSD enterprise software systems are nearing the end of their
supported live span. Studies will be scheduled to determine the
replacements of select systems along with associated budgets required to
design, install, and support such systems. Hardware systems that are at end-
of-life include plotting and printing systems as well as server and desktop
systems.
Objective 5.1: Complete the replacement of the current Computerized
Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
Objective 5.2: Develop a plan to replace or reliably extend the life of the current
SCADA System
Objective 5.3: Complete the plan to analyze the future of the current Enterprise
Resource Planning(ERP) System
Objective 5.4: Finalize the replacement of the current Piping and Instrumentation
Diagram (P&ID) System
Objective 5.5: Utilize emerging technologies to increase efficiencies that can reduce
OCSD's projected environmental footprint
7
Goal 6: Critical Infrastructure and Cyber Security
The Department of Homeland Security(DHS) recognizes the Water/Waste
Water sector as a critical infrastructure. As such,we partner within the
sector to design and improve the security of the nation's critical
infrastructure. We will develop a plan to reduce cyber threats and
vulnerabilities as well as protect critical information from the general
public.
Objective 6.1: Define and identify information that is required to be secured
Objective 6.2: Secure critical infrastructure information from the general public
Objective 6.3: Develop systems to make public information available as per the
Public Records Act
Objective 6.4: Ensure the SCADA system is protected in accordance with national
standards
Objective 6.5: Use the DHS supplied Cyber Evaluation Tool to self-assess our
cyber security posture
Objective 6.6: Implement a formal Information Security Program
Objective 6.7: Maintain "Best Practices"certification
Goal 7: Implement Best Practices Framework
The Information Technology Infrastructure Library(ITIL) defines
processes, lifecycle concepts, roles, and functions as an internally accepted
approach to manage IT services. Using the ITIL framework,we will
formally adapt and adopt this integrated IT Service Management framework
within our organization.
Objective 7.1: Ensure tasks associated with IT Services are captured in the
established Service Desk application
Objective 7.2: Develop and maintain formal Service Portfolios and Catalogs
Objective 7.3: Complete the implementation of the Problem Management process

20
FINANCIAL SUMMARY and
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Appendices A through C reflect the work efforts identified by OCSD's business
units, their financial impacts, and fiscal year implementation schedules. The
plan shows an aggressive sequence of events required to make the
transformation over a three-year period.
The costs and efforts shown to accomplish the specific tasks in this plan are
reasonable estimates based on assumptions of activity requirements. They have
been developed as planning estimates and not detailed acquisition costs.
Annual plan funding is based on agency priorities as identified by the IT
Steering Committee along with assumptions regarding rate of change that can
effectively be accomplished. The three-year window was chosen based on the
rapid changes in technologies. Annual budgeting considerations will most
likely change between years but efforts within available funding will continue as
the priority dictates.
Each year, the IT Steering Committee will review the ITSP projected efforts and
determine which items will be approved for the following year. The financial
summary will also be updated to reflect the changing needs of OCSD.
Budget Assumptions
• The Centralized IT Operating Budget line items will remain consistent with
the FY 2010/2011 approved amounts after adjustment for economic
inflation
• Requests for small (below$5,000) computer items will be procured based
on priority but within the allocated budget
• Request for programming services that are above the efforts internal staff
can provide may be accomplished through professional services based on
priority but within the allocated budget
• Computer items over$5,000 with a useful lifetime greater than three years
will be procured through the Centralized Computer Equipment Capital
Budget. These line items are subject to approval through the normal
budgeting process
• Software, hardware, or services that are directly related to Capital
Improvement Project(CIP) or long-term Master Plan efforts will be charged
against the specific project(s)
• Priorities will be determined through the IT governance process based on
the goals, vision, and Level of Service as defined by the OCSD Strategic
Plan and negotiated through the Management Team (MT)

33
Business Architecture - Defines the organization and functions of the business processes
that support those functions.
Business Continuity- Describes the processes and procedures an organization puts in place
to ensure that essential functions can continue during and after a disaster. Business
continuity planning seeks to prevent interruption of mission-critical services, and to
reestablish full functioning as swiftly and smoothly as possible.
Business Drivers - External and internal forces that create a need for business action or
"drive" the organization's business, as well as the strategies that an organization defines in
response to these forces. Business drivers are those "key enterprise level business
strategies" that will have the most significant impact on the architecture process.
Business Entity-A business entity is an object that implements the business rules in a
system application or service.
Business Process- 1. A related set of activities that when correctly performed satisfy some
business goal. 2. A process orchestrates or coordinates a series of activities needed to
satisfy some business goal. 3. A business process controls the step-by-step actions of
executing some work, moving the system from one state to another. At each step it may
perform a business operation.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) -A short-range plan, usually four to six years, which
identifies capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule and
identifies options for financing the plan. Essentially, the plan provides a link between a
public agency and/or other local government entity and its comprehensive strategic plans
and annual budget.
Chief Information Officer (CIO) -The person responsible for oversight and control of an
organization's information assets and information processing systems.
Commercial Off-The-Shelf(COTS) - Computer hardware or software products that are
ready-made and available for sale, lease, or license to the general public. They are often
used as alternatives to in-house developed.

Data Life Cycle Management (DLM) -A policy-based approach to managing the flow of an
information system's data throughout its life cycle: from creation and initial storage to the
time when it becomes obsolete and is deleted.
Data Warehouse -A data warehouse is a central repository for all or significant parts of the
data that an enterprise's various business systems collect. Data from the production
databases are copied to the data warehouse so that queries can be performed without
disturbing the performance or the stability of the production systems.
Data Marts - Data warehouses can become enormous with hundreds of gigabytes of
transactions. As a result, subsets, known as "data marts," are often created for just one
department or product line.
Database -A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can easily be
accessed, managed, and updated. Databases are sometimes classified according to their
organizational approach. The most prevalent approach is the relational database, a tabular
database in which data is defined so that it can be reorganized and accessed in a number of
different ways. A distributed database is one that can be dispersed or replicated among
different points in a network. An object-oriented programming database is one that is
congruent with the data defined in object classes and subclasses. Computer databases
typically contain aggregations of data records or files, such as sales transactions, product
catalogs and inventories, and customer profiles.
Database Management System (DBMS) -A Database Management System (DBMS) is a
computer program (or more typically, a suite of them) designed to manage a database (a
large set of structured data), and run operations on the data requested by numerous
clients. DBMSs control the organization, storage, retrieval, security and integrity of data in a
database. A DBMS is usually an inherent part of a database product. On PCs, Microsoft
Access is a popular example of a single- or small-group user DBMS. Microsoft's SQL Server is
an example of a DBMS that serves database requests from multiple (client) users. Other
examples include IBM's D132, Oracle's line of database management products, and Sybase's
products.
De-facto Standards -Standards that have become accepted and adopted although not
originally defined by consent. Often are more important than standards that have been
defined by consent of standards groups. A good example is TCP/IP which is accepted as a
standard instead of the competing OSI (Open Systems Interconnect) standard which was
defined by a standards group.
35
Desktop Computer-A single-user computer. A desktop computer typically includes a
monitor, processor, keyboard, mouse, operating system and other hardware and software.
Frequently referred to as a Personal Computer, PC or Mac, but may also refer to a

"desktop," the term implies stationary use, whether it resides on the top of the desk or
under the desk in a tower case.
Digital Certificate - an electronic "ID" that establishes your credentials when doing business
or other transactions on the Web. It is issued by a certification authority (CA). It contains
your name, a serial number, expiration dates, a copy of the certificate holder's public key
(used for encrypting messages and digital signatures), and the digital signature of the
certificate-issuing authority so that a recipient can verify that the certificate is real.
Digital Signature -An electronic signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of
the sender of a message or the signer of a document, and possibly to ensure that the
original content of the message or document that has been sent is unchanged. Digital
signatures are easily transportable, cannot be imitated by someone else, and can be
automatically time-stamped. The ability to ensure that the original signed message arrived
means that the sender cannot easily repudiate it later.
Discipline - Logical functional areas to address when building the architecture blueprint. The
descriptions of the disciplines.
Domain - Logical groupings of disciplines that form the main building blocks within the
architectural framework.
e-Business- Electronic-business; conducting business online. The term is often used
synonymously with e-commerce, but e-business encompasses more than just buying and
selling of products on the Web, for example; business licensing, registration and tax
payments.

customer-centric service delivery offered by Web-based technologies to better fulfill the
purposes of government.
Electronic Collaboration -The interaction of individuals and groups using electronic media.
Electronic collaboration technologies promote group productivity.
Electronic Signature -A paperless way to sign a document using an electronic symbol or
process attached or associated with the document. Not the same as a digital signature
which offers non-repudiation.

Policies (and Policy)— Policies are long-term, high-level management instructions on how
the organization is to be run and generally are driven by legal concerns (due diligence).
Policies reflect an organization's goals, objectives, culture and are intended for broad
audiences. They also are mandatory and are application to anyone—employee, contractor,
temporary, etc. Special approval if the policy is not be followed (an exception) should be
documented. (Yes, a policy for exceptions is necessary!). Policies drive standards,
procedures and technical controls. Example: Passwords will be used.
Practices- Established or customary methods or procedures.
41
Procedures -A set of administrative instructions for implementation of a policy or standard.

driven.
Service Level Agreement (SLA) - is a contract between a service provider and a customer
that specifies, usually in measurable terms, what services the service provider will furnish.
42
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) -The underlying structure supporting communications
between services. SOA defines how two computing entities, such as programs, interact in
such a way as to enable one entity to perform a unit of work on behalf of another entity.
Service interactions are defined using a description language. Each interaction is self-
contained and loosely coupled, so that each interaction is independent of any other
interaction.
Standard -A prescribed or proscribed specific technical approach, solution, methodology,
product or protocol, which must be adhered to in the design, development, implementation
or upgrade of systems architecture (e.g., hardware/software/services). Standards shall be

Trust-The confidence a service has in the reliability of other services and the information
that they provide.
Trust Model -A Trust Model is a framework utilized to establish secure access to multiple
systems in an enterprise using one credential (typically a user-id and password) per user. In
order for information owners to trust credentials that have been issued to users, the
credentials must have been issued, protected and managed according to documented and
agreed rules. The Trust Model establishes a standard set of processes, which include
registering or identifying users, issuing credentials, using the credentials and recordkeeping
and auditing.

Many ISPs host a personal Web page at no additional cost above the monthly service fee,
while multi-page, commercial Web sites are hosted at a very wide range of prices. The
customer's registered domain name is typically used. A single computer can hold hundreds
or even thousands of small Web sites, while larger Web sites use a dedicated computer or
multiple computers.
Web Server-A computer that provides World Wide Web services on the Internet or
Intranet
Web Site-Web pages and other files that are "served" to the requestor.
Web-based Application -An application that is downloaded from the Web each time it is
run. The advantage is that the application can be run from any computer, and the software
is routinely upgraded and maintained by the hosting organization rather than each
individual user.
