Dear Mr. Harper:
Districts of
California 92708
First, please let me thank you for your thoughtful letter
of 23 November, and three copies of the Impact Statement.
Second, I would sincerely like to thank members of your
staff for their considerable help in preparing the EIS.
My only regret is that the technical problems could not
be ironed out earlier in the study. As it turned out, the
study took more than twice as long as programed, and there
was insufficient time to completely retype the manuscript
and thoroughly proofread the ms before it was submitted to
you. Regardless, I understand that we were not responsible
for any delay in the final publication of the report.
Later on, perhaps after the EIS has been submitted, and
acted upon, if you have any extra copies I would appreciate
another 3 copies or so.
Yours truly,
Richard Terry & Associates/

Dear Mr. Harper:
environmental
science & services
Tel. (714) 630-2930
Enclosed is our report assessing the environmental impacts of
the 9 major Projects involving 50 Tasks for facilities at the
County Sanitation Districts of Orange County's treatment plants.
This report provides a detailed examination of each of the ac-
tions, as required by Section 102 of the National Environmental
Policy Act, and the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970.
Our general conclusion is that the benefits greatly exceed the
relatively minor potential adverse impacts. In fact, most of
the projects are specifically designed to improve environmental
quality. None of the actions were judged to be unacceptable
from an environmental point of view.
Probable impacts of the projects during the construction phase
are viewed as minor and temporary; none should constitute any
long-term adverse impacts.
The only factors that were identified which could result in
adverse environmental impacts were associated with air pollution
during the operational phase. Odors are a highly subjective
factor and, as a nuisance, are difficult to quantify or qualify.
Odors at the treatment plants commonly are transient events,
often related to local meteorological conditions. No satisfac-
tory method has been proposed to mitigate this prob_em_a_ rea.
A1-th�11gh_ i ere are emissions o sul-p�iur dioxide during the �urn�
ing of digester gas and the incineration of bar screenings and
foul gases, these emisssions are minor compared to other sources.
Burning of the gases represents the best method of disposal com-
pared to other alternative actions. This conclusion is in agree-
ment with the Air Pollution Control District.
None of the potential environmental actions are new because all
of the proposed actions are improvements or additions to exist-
ing facilities which have been in operation for many years.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist the Districts to plan
facilities compatible with present and future environmental con-
ditions. Your staff and John Carollo Engineers have been extremely
helpful in preparing this report.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE FOR SELECTION
OF FIRM TO PREPARE EISVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Meeting Date: September 22, 1971

Directors Present:
Henry Wedaa, Chairman

Edward Just, Ex-officio
Directors Absent:

Staff Members:

Paul G. Brown
Convened: 5:00 P.M.
Adjourned: 6:15 p.m.
At the September Joint Board Meeting, a special committee,
comprised of Directors Henry Wedaa, Chairman, Norman E. Culver
and Lindsley Parsons, was appointed to review proposals from
numerous firms for the preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Districts' 1971-72 Joint Works Construction
Program. The Committee met with Joint Chairman Just on
September 22nd to review six proposals submitted in accordance
with the attached "Request for Proposal."
Chairman Wedaa emphasized that the Report must be prepared
by competent experts, as this Report is subject to public hearings
and must be valid in every sense of the intent of the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970. This new legislation requires
that all governmental agencies undertake an Environmental Impact
Study and submit a report thereon before State or Federal funds
are allocated. In the case of grants administered by the State
Water Resources Control Board, this Environmental Impact
Statement must be included in the Project Report which must be
filed prior to December lst for our 1971-72 projects for which
grant funds will be requested.
The Committee reviewed the proposals submitted by six firms
and, following a review of these proposals, it was determined
that Terry & Associates/Environmental Science & Services would
competently prepare the required Environmental Impact Statement
for the projects described in the "Request for Proposal." The
Committee was authorized to employ a firm for the preparation of
the Environmental Impact Statement for an amount not to exceed
$6,000. Terry & Associates, et al, submitted the lowest lump sum
fee, however, this was not the prime consideration. The first
concern of the Coimiittee was that the Report must be prepared by
competent experts who can defend their written statements.
It was moved, seconded and duly carried, that Terry &
Associates/Environmental Science & Services, Anaheim, be author-
ized to proceed with the preparation of the Environmental Impact
Statement for the Districts' 1971-72 projects in accordance with
their proposal dated September 14, 1971.

In response to your Request for Proposal dated September 9, 1971,
we are pleased to submit our proposal and a statement of our
qualifications for conducting an environmental impact analysis.
I. Scope of Work
We propose to accomplish an Environmental Impact Analysis
which emphasizes the following factors:
1. Analysis of existing environmental factors, both natural
and cultural.
2. Quantifying the magnitude and importance of the environmental
factors.
3. Assessment of the impact of the project.
4. Summation and recommendations based on our findings.
II. Fees
Work related to all items listed under I is to be accomplished
for the fee of $5,350.00, five thousand three hundred and fifty
dollars, including incidental and travel expenses.
Additional work will be charged at an hourly rate of $25.00,
twenty five dollars. Per Bien will be $25.00 per day.
17 September 1971
Page 2 of 2
III. Statements
We would also like to emphasize the following points relevant
to our environmental impact work:
1. We are familiar with the legal "Guidelines" under which
the environmental analysis is to be done.
2. We have always found that good liaison contacts are essential
to this type of project and stand ready to work closely
with Mr. Carollo and the Sanitation District.
3. We have conducted many studies under similar provisions,
a list of which has been enclosed.
4. We emphasize a complete inventory and analysis. This
consists of not only analyzing the physical impact but
also the ecological dynamics and human factors involved.
We think this approach is well illustrated in one of our
recent Environmental Inventories for the Army Corps of
Engineers, a copy of which is enclosed.
I would be pleased to answer any questions that you may have to
clarify any of the various points above.
Sincerely,

RECENT RESEARCH PROJECTS - COMPLETED
Plant -soil relations in coastal chaparral communities of Southern Cal-
ifornia. 1965 to present. These ongoing studies have been conducted in
large part at the Ecology Field Research Station at Rainbow in northern
San Diego County. Studies have included: wettability of chaparral soils
roo,,) as influenced by fire; influence of edaph i c factors on chaparral dom-
inance; influence of soil microorganisms on nitrogen cycling in the chap-
arral ecosystem; mechanical and chemical properties of chaparral soils;
and influence and distribution of parasites in the chaparral community.
Ecological Succession in the Chaparral of Baja California. 1968-1970.
Studies have involved such areas as: altitudinal gradations of dominant
chaparral and desert plants; influence of human factors on stability and
maturity of chaparral and desert communities.
Environemntal Influences on Productivity and Anatomy of Desert Plants,
1966-1969. This research was performed ,primarily at the Boyd Desert
Research Center of the University of California. It involved such
studies as: infrared gas analysis of the creosote bush; influence of
environmental factors on anatomy and productivity of the palo verde;
human influences on the lower deserts of California.
Dune Motion and Plant Succession on the Algodones Sand Dunes of Southern
California. 1968-1969. This two-year study involved: adaptation of
ground plants to temperature extremes; sandblasting effects on dominant
shrubs; animal survey techniques on sand dunes; etc. k
Postfire Succession in Chaparral and Grassland Communities. 1968 to
present. Several faculty members and graduate students have been in-
volved in these'studies, concerned with the influence of fire on water-
shed communities of southern California.

INTRODUCTION
Woodward -Envicon, Inc., of Orange and San Diego,
California, with Copley International of La Jolla, California as
a subcontractor, herewith proposes to prepare on behalf of the
County Sanitation Districts of Orange County , California, an
Environmental Impact Statement for the projects specified in the
Districts' request for proposal dated September 9, 1971. The
objectives, approach and work plan are set forth in the following
sections of this proposal.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this project are:
1 . To carry out a thorough study to identify and evaluate
the environmental impacts, both beneficial and adverse that will
result from the proposed construction of the "1971 - 72 Improvements
and Additions at Water Reclamation Plant No. 1 and Treatment Plant
No. 2 ", and
2. To prepare an Environmental Impact Statement summar-
izing the results of this evaluation.
We see this work focused on a practical approach which will
document and emphasize that the projects proposed by the Districts
are in fact Improvements and Additions to existing waste treatment
Facilities and, as such, are per se generally beneficial for the
environment.
WOODWARD . ENVICON, INC.
APPROACH
The Woodward -Envi con, Inc./Copley International project
team would work closely with the staffs of the Orange County
Sanitation Districts and John Carollo Engineers in preparation of
the Environmental Impact Statement in support of the proposed
111971 - 72 Improvements and Additions at Water Reclamation Plant
No. 1 and Treatment Plant No. 211. We would rely on the design
engineer and staff to provide necessary background data and project
work descri pti ons .
Basically, our approach would be as follows:
1 . We would review the project work descriptions and
-#Mfrs. engineering drawings for each improvement or addition.
2. Our ecologists would visit the two plants to inventory
the ecological community present at both sites.
3. We would then work jointly with the appropriate staff
members of the Orange County Districts and John Carollo Engineers
to evaluate the potential .beneficial and/or adverse effects of the
proposed work on the environment.
Our concept is that the Woodward -Envicon, Inc./Copley
International staff provides the expertise in the ecologic, environ-
mental, and water quality Fields to supplement the excellent engineering
knowledge available in your staff, so as to provide a balanced team
evaluation of the environmental impact resulting from the construction
of the proposed facilities.
The evaluation of environmental impact would be made in
terms of the six key factors specified in the State of California
e"N "Guidelines for Preparation of Environmental Impact Statements" as
- 2 - WOODWARD - ENVICON, INC.
P"q
appropriate for each of the projects under consideration.
Namely:
a. Probable impact of the project on the environment.
b. Probable adverse environmental effects which cannot
be avoided.
c . Mitigation measures proposed to minimize the impact.
d . Alternatives to the proposed action.
e . Short-term use versus long-term productivity.
F. Irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources.
g. Objections to the project, if any, and their resolution.
In this regard, we emphasize that the scope of these guidelines applies
more directly to an entire new facility rather than to relatively minor
modifications to an existing plant. Therefore, considerable technical
judgment must be exercised in applying these guidelines to the
"Improvement and Addition" type work which comprises this project.
It is understood that, where appropriate, this Statement will
be keyed to other related environmental impact studies such as that
prepared in June 1971 for the Orange County Coastal Project by
Jones and Stokes Associates.
Finally, we recognize that the most significant environmental
impact of the proposed projects is likely to occur during the actual
construction. Special consideration will be given to this aspect of
the project.
WORK PLAN AND TASK STATEMENTS
TASK 1 : Plan out detailed work program and schedule; assign
ea'`ti work units and begin work.
— 3 — WOODWARD - ENVICON, INC.
?00*1
TASK 2: Visit sites and obtain From the staffs of John Carollo
and the Orange County Districts summarized data on the pertinent
background topics including:
a. Zoning and population.
b. Meteorologic and related environmental data.
c. Hydrologic and related plant operational data.
d . Existing environmental reports.
e . Background information on project construction and
planned future construction.
F . Estimates of area to be aFFected by construction
activities at each site.
In particular we will need information relative to construction
procedures, length of construction operations, and the amount of
surface area that will be involved. This type of information is
needed in order to ascertain the probable extent of temporary or
permanent damage to ecological habitats. In addition, information
will be needed as to plant operation characteristics with emphasis
on potential discharges (intentional or accidental) which may have
a direct impact upon the environment.
TASK 3: Analyze and evaluate data From Task 2. This should be
a joint effort by our team and the appropriate staff members of.
the Districts and John Carollo Engineers in order to provide maximum
experience and technical judgment.
TASK 4: Carry out a brief ecologic inventory at the two plant
?OWN sites. This work would be handled by three special ecologic consul-
tants who have carried out similar work on the nearby Bolsa Chica site.

TASK 5: Evaluate each of the proposed "1971 - 72 Improvements
or Additions" with respect to the six basic categories specified in
the State of California "Guidelines For Preparation of Environmental
Impact Statements", and listed in the preceding section on Approach.
Normally we carry out this evaluation by means of a simple matrix
in which each work item (as listed below) is considered in each of
the six categories. Thus, For Plant No. 1 we would consider:

a. Esthestics
b. Air movement
Item B: Influent metering and.diversion structure
1 . Evaluate effects of construction on habitat
2. Esthestics
3. Overall effects on treatment process
Item C: Support Facility
1 . Evaluate effects of construction on habitat
2. Adequacy, location, esthetics, alternatives
Item G: Additional secondary treatment
1 . Evaluate effect of construction on habitat
2. Evaluate system effect of additional trickling
Filter
3. Effect of additional water For reuse
- 5 - WOODWARD - ENVICON, INC.
For Plant No. 2, we would consider the Following:
Item A: Plant reliability
1. Evaluate safety improvement of new
electrical set up
2. Evaluate location and power use
Item B: Water Reuse at No. 2
1 . Evaluate use of water for irrigation and
• motor cooling
2. Evaluate possibility of additional reclamation
Item C: New Digesters
1. Evaluate system improvement and effects of
construction on habitat
2. Sludge disposal
3. Population served

DAVID D . SMITH, Ph.D.,
West Coast Division Manager
Dr. Smith is an environmental scientist with more than fifteen years
experience in coastal and nearshore marine geologic )engineering, and pollution
control problems. He attended the University of Notre Dame, graduating with a
B.S. Cum La.ude in geology -in 1951. His graduate work was at Stanford University
where he received his M.S. in geology in 1955, and his Ph.D. in geology in 1960.
With Woodward-Envicon, Dr. Smith is responsible for the Company's activ-
ities on the itTestcoast with emphasis on water pollution work including: termal
studies, biologic inventories and base line studies, assessment of ecological
effects of oil spills, dredge spoil monitoring, and various other water quality
and environmental impact work.
Prior to joining Woodward-Envicon, Dr. Smith was Director of Applied
Oceanography with the Dillingham Corporation and subsequently Director of Program
Development with the Dillingham Environmental Company. He directed or partici-
pated in a number of research and evaluation studies and surveys on such topics
as marine disposal of solid waste; characteristics of major oil spills and the
effectiveness of oil spill cleanup techniques; water quality monitoring and main-
tenance programs in large inland lakes; design criteria for power plant cooling
water outfalls in subtropical estuaries, and a master plan -type study of sewage
disposal and ,rater quality problems for the Island of Oahu. Dr. Smith has also
served as a special consultant on conservation and wildlife problems in connec-
tion with the Trans Alaska Pipeline project.
Prior to joining the Dillingham Corporation, Dr. Smith had extensive
experience in managing applied oceanographic programs. lie served as Managing
Director of Ocean Science and -Engineering South Africa (Pty) Ltd. where he orga-
nized and directed the exploration and evaluation of the offshore diamond con-
cessions of South Africa and South West Africa on behalf of the De Beers Group.
Dr. Smith managed this twenty-seven month operational program which involved
some eighty men, three ships, and several aircraft and field parties operating
in one of the most inhospitable areas of the world.
Following the South African work, Dr. Smith spent more than a year in
Southeast Asia developing various projects which included an extensive hydro -
graphic and harbor dredging survey program (which Dr. Smith organized and directed)
under contract with RMK-BRJ in connection with the U.S. Navy's port construction
program along the coast and rivers of South Viet Nam.
Dr. Smith has also had a variety of consulting, academic, research,
and research management experience including: Instructor in Geology at Dartmouth;
Assistant Professor of Geology (Research) at the Coastal Studies Institute,
Louisiana State University; and Visiting Associate Professor of Geology at the
University of North Carolina. He has carried out research contracts for the Air
Force Cambridge Research Center, for the Office of Naval Research, for the Water-
ways Experiment Station of the Corps of Engineers, for the United States National
Park Service, and was in charge of the Earth Sciences Program at the Research
Triangle Institute, Durham, North Carolina. He also served as Geologist with the
Alaskan Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey.
WOODY ARD - ENVICONS w1c.
He was the principal investigator in an eighteen month coastal and
lom"` estuarine environmental research project studying the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore Area. He has done additional coastal and estuarine research in Nest
Pakistan and Japan and was special lecturer for the American Geological
Institute's Visiting Geoscientist Program. He also served as senior scientist
and party leader on two Arctic Ocean Ice Island projects - this work included
ornithologic observations and collection of faunal specimens for two museums.
60
Other projects which Dr. Smith has organized and managed include a
six month evaluative study of a) the mineral resources of the U. S. continental
shelves and b) the current "state of the art" of marine mining technology,
carried out under contract with Economic Associates Incorporated and the
President's Council on Marine Sciences; a series of offshore geophysical and
engineering geologic studies of several South African harbor sites for the South
African Government; a geophysical exploration program to locate aggregate quarry
sites for the Corps of Engineers in Viet Nam; and'a photo geologic reconnaissance
study of the Mekong Delta for sources of sand fill for the U.S. Navy.
Dr. Smith is the author of a variety of papers and reports on environ-
mental subjectsranging from Arctic ocean ice islands to barrier island and beach
development, shoreline and marsh erosion, sedimentation, marine terraces, and
displacement along the San Andreas Fault. His research interest include the
hydraulics of tidal estuaries, and salt water encroachment problems.
Dr. Smith is a member of the Geological Society of America, American
Geophysical Union, American Ornithologists' Union, International Association of
Sedimentology, National Wildlife Federation, Audubon Society, Japan Association
for Quaternary Research, Geological Society of South Africa, and a number of
other professional societies. Among various honors, Dr. Smith was the recipient
of a University of Notre Dame 1965 Science Centennial Award for excellence in
scientific research and management, and the Stanford School of Mineral Sciences
Outstanding Graduate Student Award in 1957. He served three years active duty
with the U.S. Navy and is currently a Commander in the Naval Reserve.
Recent public lectures by Dr. Smith include several presentations on
a) evaluation of marine disposal of solid waste as a temporary alternative to
sanitary land fill in metropolitan coastal areas, b) the relationship of near -
shore oceanography to environmental protection and pollution control, c) the
opportunities for new products and services in environmental protection and
pollution control, and d) environmental characteristics of major oil spills.

Performance Record and Recent Projects
Copley International Corporation, a California corporation, is a wholly -owned
subsidiary of The Copley Press, Inc. Working capital is provided by the parent
organization, when necessary. Research projects undertaken during the past five
years have been completed on schedule. Several examples of the type of projects
being carried out, or recently completed, are outlined below:
1. National Study of Odorous Air Pollution. This study, conducted for the
National Air Pollution Control Administration, will provide an assessment of the
odor problem in the United States in terms of a list and description of major odor-
ants and related industrial and other processes, topographical and meteorological
data, and the size and density of the population affected. This study is to be accom-
plished by means of a thorough literature review; a national survey of local air
pollution agencies; a national public opinion survey; and a field study of odor con-
centrations in several major industrial centers across the nation.
2. California's Coastal Zone Project. A study was conducted to .define,
summarize and project resource use, population and tourism trends, economic
activities, and land use in the coastal zone of California. The project was spon-
sored by the Interagency Council on Ocean Resources of the State of California.
3. Mission Bay Park Study. This project, for the City of San Diego, was
under the direction of William L. Pereira & Associates of Los Angeles, architects
and planners. Copley International Corporation gathered data on the number and
origin of visitors using the public and private recreational facilities of Mission Bay
Park. CIC also determined the economic value of Park land and water and evaluated
development proposals.
4. Ocean -Oriented Industries and Activities Study. This project involved
identifying and describing the full range of potential ocean -oriented research,
recreation, manufacturing, and extraction in the San Diego area. In addition, CIC
prepared a development program designed to bring new ocean -oriented industries
and activities to the area. The Economic Development Administration of the Depart -
went of Commerce was the client.
5. Niger River Basin Project. The study was conducted to identify and evaluate
the possibilities for development of the land and water resources of the Niger River
Basin in Africa. It involved an assessment of the potentials and needs for overall
regional development and recommendations regarding project priorities. The Agency
for International Development, Department of State, was the client agency.
6. Atlas Copco, AB, Stockholm. CIC developed and put into operation a
computerized inventory control system for a large manufacturing company selling
more than 300 products through 38 sales subsidiaries in various countries of the
world. CIC also designed a budget simulation program to assist the corporation in
financial planning, pricing and manufacturing. A. computerized production scheduling
system was also established for the principal plants.
Data Processing Facilities
Copley International Corporation utilizes the facilities of an ;affiliate, Copley
e Computer Services, Inc. , for its electronic data processing needs.

printer. Mohawk communications terminals are used. off-line for data communi-
cation to and from the computer center. The computer is operated in a multi-
programming mode and supports programs written in RCA COBOL, FORTRAN IV,
BAL and IBM 1440 Autocoder.
CCSI also has a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-10 time-sharing computer.
The PDP-10 will replace the RCA Spectra 70/45 for all central computer data proc-
essing services. The PDP-10 configuration will include 64K 36-bit words of core
memory, a 1.7 million character high speed swapping drum, 8 Memorex disk drives
(2314 type), four magnetic tape drives, five DECtape drives and a card reader. In
addition, the PDP-10 configuration will include a PDP-8 asynchronous communications
"front-end" which will service up to 64 low speed (110-300 baud) lines. Interfacing
with this capability is in the ASCII mode. A PDP-11 computer will function as a second
"front-end" to the PDP-10 for servicing up to 8 high speed synchronous lines offering
on-line remote batch processing capability. ASCII is the interface mode. The
PDP-10 computer is operated in a time-sharing mode and is capable of servicing
/IMN up to 64 users at one time. The PDP-10 supports programs written in DEC COBOL,
FORTRAN IV, Basic and Macro-10.
The CCSI support staff includes five systems design specialists, eight senior
programmers including one systems programmer, and fourteen computer operations
and control personnel.
The programming staff has extensive experience in systems analysis and
programming, gained through full responsibility for multi -program system applica—

ABSTRACT
This proposal is for the development of an Environmental Impact Statement
for the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County, California. The
purpose of the Environmental Impact Statement is to outline the environ-
mental impact of the projects listed in the request for proposal entitled
Environmental Impact Statement, dated September 9, 1971, from the County
Sanitation Districts of Orange County, California. Weather Centrals, Inc.
proposes to investigate the primary and secondary significant impact
of these projects throughout the entire spectrum of the environment (e.i.
air, water, and land). Weather Centrals, Inc. intends to investigate,
evaluate, and compare the short term advantages against the long term
impact of these projects on the total environment. Governmental,
Corporate, Technical, and interested Public sources will be consulted
in order to evaluate all possible ideas of the impact these projects
will have on the environment, and to collect and present both benificial
and adverse opinions. These statements and opinions will be evaluated
in light of the expertise of the source and the total evaluation will
be consolidated into the final report.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Weather Centrals, Inc. understands the problem to be the requirement
to meet the needs of an Environmental Impact Statement. The EIS is
required by Chapter 1433, Statutes o-f 1970 ' and 'i s outl fined in the
proposed guidelines for the preparation and evaluation of Environmental
Impact Statements under the California Environmental Quality Act of
1970. Weather Centrals, Inc. proposes to follow this guideline to the
letter and prepare the EIS in such a manner as to meet all the require-
ments of the law.
TECHNICAL PLAN
1. Data will be aquired by interview, personal or via telephone.
2. Data aquired will then be evaluated and incorporated into a rough
draft copy for coordination with the District's Design Engineers
report.
3. Complete cooperation with the staff of the District and with the
involved staff of the John Carollo Engineers of Lafayette is assured.

1. INTRODUCTION
This proposal covers -the work necessary to prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Orange
County Sanitation. Districts' proposed project
titled "1971-72 Improvement.s & Additions at Water
Reclaimation Plant No. 1 & Treatment Plant No. 2".
In order to fully understand the special requirements
and the particular conditions of the Improvements and
Additions Project, and thus be in a position to propose
a responsive EIS task, a careful study has-been made of
the "Proposed Guidelines for the Preparation & Evaluation
of Environmental Impact Statements under the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970" & the previously sub-
mitted Impact Statements. The proposed EIS tasks as
described in Section 2 below are based on our current under-
standing of such requirements, and, it is felt, fully
'reflect the requirements contained in the "Proposed Guide-
lines".
It is also understood that all the necessary detailed
information and data, concerning all relevant facets and
impacts of the Improvements and Additions Project, will be
available from the Sanitation Districts' staffs, so that
proper judgement about the environment can be made. The
-2-

INTRODUCTION - (Continued)
Aztec project team will maintain close liaison with
these personnel for this purpose, during the actual
preparation of the EIS.

AZTE C SCIENTIFIC, INC.
2. EIS PREPARATION
The EIS will be prepared to meet the requirements
of the National Environmental Policy Act and the California
Envi ro,nmental Quality Act. A1'though al 1. of the points
required by the Acts will be covered, only those items
that are affected by the project will be described in
depth.
The fact that the planned project is one of ex-
pansion of existing facilities, rather than construction
of new ones, introduces special coloring in the EIS effort.
For example, the concern will be not about the creation of
entirely new inputs in a virgin environment, but more about
the increase in magnitude of already existing inputs, etc.
This will, it :is felt, reduce the depth of some -EIS analyses,
and perhaps make a shift in emphasis in others. On the
• whole, the attempt will be to present a measured in-depth
study (not a cursory look!) of the EIS, including the bene-
ficial impacts. This is reflected in the•proposed EIS
effort content and quotation.
The proposed EIS study shall include, but will not be*
necessarily limited to, the following tasks:
I - Assessment of Project Facilities. An analysis of
existing & proposed new facilities, their inter-
action, landscaping and building design from the
-4-

point of view of visual and esthetic values.
II - Beneficial Impacts own Environment. An analysis
will be made of benefits derived from (a) in-
creasing the quantity of re -use water; (b).
ability to handle the projected increase in
hydraulic load; (c) any positive effects in
maintaining the salt water barrier and (e)
producing a higher quality effluent product.
III. - Adverse Impacts, Wastewater Reclamation and
T"efti-m^„a- C-ftr.4144-4o%n
An analysis will be made of those impacts
created both during the project construction
phase and those which typically could add to
present air pollution, noise, visual changes,
etc. Measures taken to avoid or mitigate
these impacts would also be examinded and
stated.
Iv. - Adverse Impacts, Wastewater Disposal. An
• analysis will be made of the changes, if any , .
in wastewater characteristics and probable im-
pact on marine environment. Also mitigation
measures would be examined and stated.

EIS PREPARATION - (Continued)
V - Environmental Impact Summary. An analysis
will be made of the overall impact on the
environment covering and satisfying the six
itemized requirements of the Act and as
described in theProposal Guidelines, plus
any additional pertinent analyses.
The results of the EIS study covering the above tasks
will be presented in an appropriate report, in appropriate
format, and following established professional- practices.

Our group has had considerable experience in preparing Impact
Statements, including the preparation of one of the first and
most comprehensive Environmental Impact reports ever submitted
to the Federal government. Our experience is outlined in the
proposal.
I believe that it is important to point out that our function
is more than simply preparing an Environmental Impact State-
ment after a cursory examination of the proposed project. We
recognize that Impact Statements often result in undue hard-
ship, financial loss, and delays in the construction of import-
ant facilities. We candidly believe, therefore, that our funct-
ion should include a close interface with our clients: First in
recognizing potential environmental impact problems then,second-
ly, jointly attempting to eliminate or mitigate adverse problem
areas. In this way the Impact Statement submitted to the State
and Federal governments will be acted upon more quickly. This
technique also minimizes difficulties with the public. Few firms
engaged in preparing Impact Statements attempt to reconcile dif-
ficulties that arise as part of their efforts in preparing
Statements. We consider this.function of vital importance.
Thank you for your invitation and consideration of our proposal.
If you have any questions, please call me at 630 2930.
You ly,

Summary
Terry & Associates/Environmental Science & Services pro-
poses to prepare the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County
under the terms and conditions set forth in their RFP,
without exception.
The basic technical approach is designed to utilize
readily available data and documentation and personnel
with an intimate, first-hand knowledge of the region,
the Districts', and expertise in preparing Impact State-
ments. The proposal therefore is specifically tailored
to make maximum use of these unique factors -- data, per-
sonnel and experience -- to provide the Districts' with
a professionally -prepared EIS at the lowest possible cost
commensurate with the work. effort.

Introduction
Until recently, the usual practice for the construction or
aevelopment was to prepare an analysis of the
need for the development and the relationship between its
monetary costs and monetary benefits. This was done both
from the standpoint of engineering and economics. In 1969,
however, with the passage of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA)I these customary engineering and economic analyses
and discussions of need, were considered insufficient since
they did not assess the effect of the proposed development on
the environment. In effect, the NEPA states that in addition
to these customs of need, there should be a detailed assessment
of the effect of a proposed development on the environment.
This should be done separate from its monetary benefits and
costs. All of these assessments together comprise an Environ-
mental Impact Statement (EIS).
Section 102 of the NEPA impact statement is intended as a de-
vice to assure that Federal agencies investigate and give
weight to any significant environmental effects caused by any
action which they take; to require the development of less
damaging alternatives and to assure that these effects are
made known to the public before the action is undertaken. The
initiating agency must prepare a report on any major Federal
action which will have a significant impact upon the environ-
ment. The report must contain detailed statements on 1) the
environmental impact of the action, 2) any unavoidable adverse
environmental effects, 3) alternatives to the proposed action,
4) the relationship between short -.term uses and long-term pro-
ductivity, and S) any irreversible commitments of resources.
Prior to making the report, the initiating agency must solicit
:.e comments of any federal, state, and local agency with jur-
- 2 -
isdiction by law or special expertise. Under applicable rules,
copies of the agency report and all comments must be made avail-
able to the public in advance of agency decisions or action.
Section 102 of the NEPA requires an impact statment for a broad-
er range of activities than is required by State statutes. For
example, California's ' Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Chapter
1433, requires an impact statement only for projects which the
State agency will itself carry out. thereby excluding such
actions as the granting of a licence or permit to a private
group. A bill now pending in California (California Assembly
Bill No. 1056, 021105(c)) would expand the requirements and
duplicate the Section 102 coverage, requiring an impact state-
ment for "every recommendation or report on proposals for
legislation and other major governmental action."
California statues are identical with Section 102 in requiring
that the reports and comments be made available to the public,
and State statutes parallel Section 102 in requiring the initi
ating agency to consult with and obtain the comments of a broad
range of federal, state, and local agencies: in California to
"any governmental agency." (Compare the NEPA with California's
Act, Appendix I.)
The Policy of the California Environmental Quality Act is "to
provide relevant environmental information to the Legislative
and executive agencies, departments, boards, commissions, and
the general public concerning proposed projects at the time
and when the major policy decisions (siting, land purchases,
design, construction) are being made which will significantly
affect the environment"
�� is required that before undertaking a state project, com-
mencing on a federal project, or .allocating State or Federal
funds for a project by a local agency, which may have a sig-
- 3 -
nificant effect on the environment of the State, an environ-
mental impact study be undertaken. To this end State agencies,
boards, and commissions will, in consultation with other appro-
priate federal, state, and local agencies, assess in detail the
potential environmental impact in order that adverse effects are
minimized, and environmental quality is restored or enhanced, to
the fullest extent practicable."
Since the proposed project is eligible for combined State and
Federal financial assistance, the County Sanitation Districts
of Orange County requires an Environmental Impac- Statement
(EIS) in accordance with Federal and State law.
- 4 -
Discussion of the Problem
Six basic 1971-72 Improvements and Additions at Water Rec-
lamation plant No. 1 and Treatment Plant No. 2 are involved
in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement.
(Reference page 2, RFP.) Each of these improvements/additions
must be considered individually and collectively. On the one
hand each consists of a single entity, perhaps with unique
environmental factors to considero On the other hand, a
single EIS must be prepared that views the total proposed
improvements/additions. Finally, these factors must be ex-
amined as part of the County Sanitation Districts' total
system of water reclamation and public sewerage treatment
facilities, onshore and offshore.
It is clearly evident, therefore, that the preparation of the
EIS must approach the environmental impact assessment from
several points of view.
- 5 -
Technical Approach
Terry & Associates/Environmental Science & Services (T&A/ES&S)
with its considerable experience in the preparation of EISs
can scope a project and provide a detailed statement of work
for assessing environmental problems. Check lists have been
prepared which allows us to determine rather quickly what po-
tential environmental impact(s) might possible exist under
specific circumstances. Also, long period research activities
in the area, and actual research work for the County Sanita-
tion Districts of Orange County by us will greatly simplify
the preparation of the Impact Statement. Finally, several re-
ports already exist which will enormously narrow down the
search of relevant information and expedite the preparation
of the EIS. Our technical approach will therefore be as follows:
1) Every project represents a different, generally unique,
set of problems. Each of these must first be identified then
discussed with regard to potential environmental impact. The
first step will be to become quickly and throughly familiar
with existing and proposed improvements and additions, as
well as how these relate to the total public sewerage system.
Some first hand information already is available; however, some
of the work already is in progress while other parts of the
project are still in the design stage. All pertinent infor-
mation shall be provided by the County Santiation Districts
of Orange County and from the Districts' design engineers,
John Carollo'Engineers (who have been commissioned to pre-
pare the -required engineering portion of the Project Report).
All relevant data, as well as any other information considered
to be o2 importance in the preparation of the EIS shall be
made available to T&A/ES&So Additional data will be collect-
ed by us, as required., from other sources,
- 6 -
2) On the basis of previous experience and check lists
developed for preparing EISs, potential environmental impacts
generally quickly become evident. This allows:
a) a rather rapid scoping of potential impact prob-
lems.
b) in the identification of areas requiring more
in-depth investigation.
c) in the establishment of a work priority system.
d) assignment of work as a function of disciplines.
3) The rationale of the EIS and assessment of environ-
mental considerations will be integrated or interfaced into
the planning/engineering process at the onset. Preliminary
identity and assessment of possible environmental impacts and
adverse effects will be made and fully discussed with the
Districts' personnel and with John Carollo Engineers. inhere
problem areas arise, possible remedial solutions will be dis-
cussed with the engineers. Thus, where potential environment-
al impact problems arise, requests will be made for an analy-
sis of the pros and cons of proposed and alternative courses
of action. The EIS will be revised and updated to reflect
the Districts' and design engineers' recommendations. To
the maximum possible extent, alternative solutions and oppor-
tunities for environmental enhancement, preservation, and
mitigation will be investigated prior to the preparation of
the fianl EIS. The EIS may thus serve several levels of im-
portance with reference to the decision -making process, re-
lationship with the public, and internal project planning
activities (such as trade-off studies). This approach will
minimize possible adverse decisions, other difficulties and
delays in carrying out the,proposed facilities improvements.
i
4) Personal contacts will be made with government and
private agencies and individuals who may have a vested in-
- 7 -
e
terest in the proposed facilities. Attempt-s will be made to
resolve any difficulties that might arise.
5) The basic methodology will consist of using readily
available data and documentation which requires an absolute
minimum of data processing. If additional data must be col-
lected, or some data exists in archives (for example), or
otherwise not readily obtainable, the contract will have to
be extended in consideration of this fact, but at no addition-
al charge to the customer. However, since several excellent
reports and data sources are available it is not currently
anticipated that there will be any delays.
6) An EIS will be prepared and submitted to the County
Sanitation Districts of Orange County which will be through
and complete in all respects and fully cover all aspects
required in the preparation of an Environmental Impact State-
ment. The guidelines of the Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ), and the "Proposed Guidelines for the Preparation and
Evaluation of Environmental Impact Statements under the Calif-
ornia Environmental Quality Act of 1970,11 will be carefully
considered in preparing the Impact Statement. Important ref-
erences applicable to the drafting of EISs are cited in
Appendix II.
The nature of the County Sanitation Districts' projects strong-
ly suggests that this technical approach is the most suitable,
expeditious, and least expensive method to achieve the desired
results.
Scope of Work
1) The EIS will describe the physical and environ-
mental aspects sufficiently to permit evaluation and inde-
pendent appraisal of the favorable and adverse environment-
al effects of each project and the total Districts' system.
This will be concise, yet will include all pertinent facts
and elements.
2) The EIS will demonstrate that adequate considera-
tion has been given to the environmental impact of the pro-
posed public sewerage porjects. Where possible, the EIS will
summarize information and cite sources of overall appr-Asals
which are based upon judgements of complex problems (such as
by the State Water Resources Control Board).
3) If opposing views are identified these will be re-
viwed. The EIS will include a full and objective appraisal
of the environmental effects, good and bad, and if available,
alternatives. In no case will adverse effects, either real
or potential, be ignored or slighted in an attempt to justify
the proposed construction improvements or previously recom-
mended activities.
4) The EIS will provide an overview of the proposed
work with the aim of ascertaining a regional significance
to the environment. However, this must necessarily be done with-
in reasonable limits.
5) The EIS will discuss significant relationships between
the proposed projects and other existing developments.
Schedule
The schedule for preparing the EIS is shown on the following
page. The schedule allows for unscheduled delays, therefore,
it is more probable that the Preliminary Draft will be com-
pleted and submitted earlier than 25 October.

Staffinq
Dr. Richard D. Terry will be in charge of preparing the
Envirommnetal Impact Statement and will utilize whatever
other staff members, or consultants,as deemed necessary.
Dr. Terry is listed in "Leaders of American Science,,"
"Who's Who in the West", "American Men of Science," and
"Dictionary of International Biography." He has worked di-
rectly on the numberous EIS further described in the
section on "Qualifications."
Reports
The County Sanitation Districts o� Orange County will be
fully congnizant of all work during the preparation of the
EIS. They will be aware of any potential environmental
impact problem(s), as well as the substance of the final
report. In view of the short time period involved to
prepare the EIS no interim reports will be submitted.
The final report will be submitted approximately one week
after completion of all work on the final draft
The body of the EIS report tentatively will cover the fol-
lowing topics or sections, whiere appropriate, and the
length of the text will be commensurate with the subject,
a balanced text, and actual needs*
1) Project description.
2) Environmental setting (without the project work)*
3) Environmental impact of the proposed improvements
and additions:
a) Identification of environmental impacts -- if
any -- as a result of direct and indirect consequences of
the proposed improvements and additions (projects). Included
will be a discussion of the effects "with" and "without the
projects
b) Benefits and detrimental aspects of proposed
actions of the environmental changes. Identification of
recipients of ?proposed action/environmental effects.
c) Identification of remedial, protective, and mit-
igation measures which will be taken in response to any
adverse effects of identified environmental impacts.
d) Identification of any adverse environmental
effects which cannot be avoided should the proposed projects
be implemented.
- 12 -
e) Description of alternatives considered to
the proposed projects, the general environmental impact, and
reasons why each was not recommended. Identification of
beneficial/detrimental effects of these on the environment.
Alternatives to no action, i.e. projection and future environ-
mental setting if the project is not accomplished vs what
the prosposed project is designed to accomplish as a public
sewerage system.
f) "Relation between local short-term uses of
rlan's environment and the maintenance and enhancement of
long-term productivity." The overall purpose will be to assess
tine long-term risks to health and safety and the environment
compared to the possible short-sighted, hastily conceived
and constructed projects that do irreplaceable damage to the
environment. (This is one of the major considerations and
purposes of the NEPA.)
g) Any irreversible and irretrievable commitments
of resources which would be involved in the proposed action
should it be implemented (e.g., changes in land use, destruc-
tion o-LE ecosystems,. etc.).
h) Coordination with other agencies, public and private.
Listing of government and private parties with whom coordination
and discussion was carried out, and views expressed -- pros
and cons -- concerning the environmental impacts of the pro-
posed activities.
The EIS will be submitted as a separate document from other
reports, not as an enclosure or appendix to the Project
Report, or other documents, such as design documents.

Qualifications
The following are specific e:,amplcs of experience related
directly to the preparatic—n of Envi:r.,:)nmental Impact State-
ments as required under Public Law 91-190, other Federal
Acts and, more recently, the California Environmental Quality
Act of 1970.
Southwest International Airport, Puerto Rico -- This was one
of the first and most comprehensive EIS made by any group for
any project. At the time there were no EIS guidelines, yet
the Statement had to be through and complete in every detail.
There were several reasons: 1) the project itself involved
an airport costing more than $500 million, and 2) there were
several major environmental impact considerations (such as
the terrible debilitating disease bil.harzia -- related to san-
itation -- and the possible destruction of valuable and
scientifically important bioluminescent bays along the south
coast of Puerto Rico) . Because of the exhaustive scope of
this Environmental Impact study, and is indicative of the work
performed by T&A/ES&S, a copy of the Table of Contents of
Volume II of the report is attached as Appendix III.
Ontario International Airport -- The final draft of the EIS
has just been completed for this $100 million proposed effort.
The water, waste water, liquid and solid waste disposal, and
engineering geology section alone is over 100 pages in length.
Some of the work had -to be coordinated with the U. S. Army
Corps of: Engineers since they are involved in the $40 million
improvement in Cucamonga Drainage Channel. Of particular im-
portance in this Enviornmental Impact study was the protect-
ion_ of the Santa Ana River watershed.
St. Louis, Missouri Airport Site Survevs -- The State of Mis-
souri desired an environmental impact study of more than a
e
dozen potential sites in Missouri and Illinois to replace
Lambert Field. Again, waste disposal was of great importance
111
in the siting study. Shortly, a full-scale EIS will be made
.for two specific sites.
Micronesia -- The Trust Territories of the Pacific needs two
new airportsa A proposal was submitted and approved. A pre-
liminary environmental study has been completed; however, a
complete EIS will not be made until additional funding has
been obtained.
Additional Pcndina Environmental Impact Studies -- Four add-
itiazal projects requiring EISs are being negotiated. Three
of these involve projects valued in the hundreds of millions
of dollars; the fourth is a relatively small EIS for expanded
existing facilities.
Other Related Experience -- T&A/ES&S currently are a consult-
ant to the Northrop Corporation on environmental affairs, and
have worked jointly on a number of projects involving noise;
water and air pollution: liquid and solid waste disposal,
engineering geology, and oceanography and ocean engineering.
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers have requested that our firm
submit a letter of qualifications so that we can assist them
in the preparation of EISs, especially in ocean -related
problems.
Currently, Dr. Terry acts as a consultant to the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (R&D) to provide the Navy with
expertise in environment a.3. problems, oceanography, ocean engin-
eering, and the deep ocean environment.
Under a $60 milli -on bond issuep Los Angeles retained the Allan
Hancock Foundation, University of Southern California, to de-
�ermine the feasibility of discharging effluent and sludge in-
to Santa ?Monica Bay. Dr. Terry was one of the principal in-
vestigators during this 15 month project. Also, under a 5 vear
- 15 -
contract with the California Water Pollution Control Board
for the Southern California Continental Shelf Survey, Dr.
Terry was one of the principal investigators (in marine geol-
ogy, physical and chemical oceanography and bacteriology).
This was, and remains, one of the most comprehensive ocean
surveys undertaken anywhere.
In 1959, Dr. Terry worked as a consultant to the County Sani-
tation Districts of Orange Cour;ty. He performed basics theor-
etical research on the cause of high coliform bacteria counts
on the beaches off the ocean outf all. A report: "A Possible
Cause for High Coliform Courts in the Surf of Orange Cou:-!ty
Outfall: Part I, Theory" was submitted to the Districts.
Prior to this he worked wit'_: Dr. Robert E. Stevenson, who was
under contract with the Districts, investigating oceanographic
conditions near the ocean outf all.
Under a contract with Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall,
Inc., assisted in the evaluation of oceanographic and atmos-
pheric conditions along the coast of Venezuela. This environ-
mental investigation resulted in the construction of an under-
water pipeline from the Venzuelan mainland to the islands of
Coche and Margarite.
T&A/ES&S has several professionals who have been deeply in-
volved in aquaculture; methods of disease control; sea water
systems; thermal pollution/thermal enhancement; power plant
siting, and similar problems. Included is a system under de-
velopment for the safe and almost total removal of toxic sub-
stances in salt water aquariums, including nitrogen waste
products. Other personnel have considerable experience in
remote sensing of the environment including interpretation
o- photographs and remotely sensed data (such as for crater
and oil pollution).
T&A/ES&S's expert on air pollution is Sidney Frank, one of the
nation's foremost scientists in this important field. He has
worked on all EIS projects. Among the air pollution investi-
1 G
gations carried out by Mr. Frank are: 1) an'examination of
the Mrine Layer of the atmosphere involving the determination
of vertical and horizontal structure of the atmosphere with
the end produc being the air pollution potential of the Mar-
ine Laver; 2) an air pollution study for Kaiser Steel Company,
Fontana; and 3) potential air pollution from paper mills in
Oregon. Mr Frank has been closely involved in air pollution
problems in the -Los Angeles area for nearly 20 years.

Mr. Fred Harper

COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS OF ORANGE COUNTY
. 10844 Ellis Avenue
Fountain Valley, CA 92708
INTRODUCTION -- The California Environmental Quality Act of
1970 requires that state governmental agencies at all levels
develop standards and procedures necessary to protect environ-
mental quality. Specifically, state policy requires an environ-
mental impact study be undertaken before -.state or federal funds
are allocated to any local agency. Furthermore the Resources
Agency has developed and published on 21 June 1971 the "Proposed
Guidelines for the Preparation and Evaluation of Environmental
Impact Statements Under the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970." The Environment Impact section of the Project Report
Guideline prepared and published by the State Water Resources
Control Board in July of 1971, follows the Resources Agency
guidelines (section 9, Content of Environmental Statement) very
closely.
This proposal to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the 1971-72 Treatment Plants improvements will be implemented
in accordance with the Environmental'-Impact'Section of the Project
Report Guidelines and the Resources Agency guidelines.
STATEMENT OF WORK -- The EIS format specified in attachment "D"
of the Project Report Guideline cover seven (7) impact consid-
erations:
1. Probable impact of the project on the environment
2. Probable adverse environmental effects which cannot be
• avoided
3. Mitigation measures proposed to minimize the impact
4. Alternatives to the proposed action
5. Short-term use versus long-term productivity
6. Irreversible and Irretrievable commitments of resources
7. Objections to the project, if any, and their resolution
The Ocean Science and Engineering, Inc. (OSE) method for.develop-
ing an EIS will meet the requirements and considerations set forth
in the guidelines in an orderly engineering approach. The
following flow chart outlines the OSE methodology.
f
Analysis of Degrade

O = No Impact
The identification of impact areas will be accomplished by
assessing the elements of.the proposed project against a standard
list of impact areas. The application of the OSE form shown as
Figure 1 accomplishes this task in an orderly manner and docu-
ments the results.
With the specific impact -areas for this project identified we
can commence the next task in our sequence, which consists of

analyzing and assessing each identified impact area in terms
of the ocean, air, noise and aesthetics. Again the application
of an OSE form (figure 2 ) allows for an adequate measure of
administrative control and documents the results.
In implementing this task (analysis of impact on existing envir-
onment from proposed modifications) we will accomplish the
following subtasks:
1. Documentation of the existing ocean, air, noise, and
aesthetic environment for the area of influence. The
documentation will be in terms of the environmental
characteristics itemized in figure.2.
2. Define the planned project ocean, air, and noise dis-
charges,and aesthetic modifications.
3. .•Conduct trade-off analysis of the existing environment
vs the project modifications with respect to each im-
pact area identified in task 1 (earth, water, atmos-
phere, vegetation, animal life, land use, water use,
aesthetics) .
4.. Prepare Environmental Impact Statement for the seven
(7) impact considerations identified in the Project
Report Guideline in terms of the results of the trade-
off analysis conducted in subtask 3.
Due to the fact that the proposed improvement project will be
a minor modification to existing well documented (environment- _
ally) facilities, it is estimated that the scope of effort of

this proposal will be accordingly small, and require little or
no collection•of field data. For this reason OSE proposes to
implement the work statement outlined herein over a period of
30 days following contractual go-ahead. The 30 day schedule and
associated fixed price ($6000) are based on the client (County
Sanitation Districts of Orange County) providing:
1. Ocean environmental data supporting the existing out -
fall design
2. The outfall design and operating characteristics
3. The outfall effluent discharge constituents and
present discharge patterns
4. Present plant smoke and gas discharge constituents
and discharge pattern data
5. Present plant noise producing systems noise level
data
• 6. Any environmental complaint (government agencies or
local inhabitants) they feel pertinent to this effort.
QUALIFICATIONS AND STAFFING -- OSE has just completed two (2)
environmental impact studies for the Los -Angeles office of the
Corps of Engineers.
1. Environmental Study of Tijuana River Estuary - April 1971
2. Environmental Study - Los Angeles -Long Beach Harbor
July -19 71
We have also been engaged in the preparation of Corps of En-' '
gineers/Environmental Protection Agency waste discharge permits
for seven (7) Southern California companies; and are currently
under contract to Kaiser -Gypsum to conduct monthly sampling,
testing and reporting of their plant discharges to the Los
Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. Figure 3 is a
list of environmental support contracts completed over the past
five (5) years for a variety of clients on a world-wide basis.
OSE will assign M. Robert Speach the responsibility for direc-
ing this proposed study. Mr. Speach will be specifically
assisted by Dr. Marshall D. Earle, and D. E. Hasselman. Other
members of the OSE technical staff may be used if required.

GENERAL STATEMENT
County Sanitation Districts
of Orange County, California.
The Orange County Sanitation Districts' wastewater quality
control system in metropolitan Orange County, California, the
third largest on the West Coast, serves a current population
of 1, 300, 000 with facilities valued at more than $100, 000, 000 .
This area, for which forecasters anticipate a _population of
2,500,000 by the year 2000, had only 200,000 inhabitants in
1950. By necessity the Districts are continually planning and
constructing facilities to provide the required wastewater
disposal services as the population and development increase.
At the present time there are seven Sanitation Districts owning.
and maintaining about 1100 miles of major trunk seviers with more
than 20 pump stations. Jointly, the Districts operate two
treatment plants to process wastewater to the ocean as described
below. In connection with the use of the term "primary treatment"
as described in more detail in a later section, it should be
pointed out that as commonly used, the term does not include
pre- or post -chlorination. The Districts employ both processes,
the first enhancing the removal of solids and grease and the
second destroying essentially all bacteria, in the effluent as
well as accomplishing a reduction in the dissolved organic
content of the -effluent. The Districts are the only major waste
water discharger to the ocean in California to employ these two
additional treatment processes.
Plant No. 1, located about four males from the coast adjacent
to the Santa Ana River bed, has an operational hydraulic
capacity of 75 million gallons. This plant gives primary
treatment to all of its flour' and secondary treatment to 15
million gallons per day. The secondary treated water is . made
available to a tertiary treatment plant for the Orange County
Water District salt water intrusion barrier project.
Plant No. 2
of the Santa
170 million
gallons per
is located 1500 feet from the ocean at the mouth
Ana River and can -handle a hydraulic load of
gallons per day. The flog averages about 80 million
day in that plant and is given primary treatment.
Serving both plants is one�of the world's largest chlorination
stations for disinfection of the effluent, and outfall booster
facilities used to pump the flow through a 120-inch diameter outfall
extending 27,400 feet to sea. This recently completed outfall has
a hydraulic capacity of 480 million gallons per day.
A single professional staff administers the work of all districts
and operates the joint treatment facilities.
