LETTER FROM DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) Engineering epartment builds towards the future of the agency while maintaining our levels of service Orange County residents have come to rely on every day. OC San's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) during the July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022 Fiscal Year spent $195 million on capital projects to replace and repair our facilities to uphold our mission to protect public health and the environment. Ve have active projects constructing large structures that need a ��„d foundation, like a new grit handling building for the Headworks Rehabilitation Project, four new primary clarifiers to replace the original clarifiers constructed in the early 1960s, and a new Headquarters building to bring together 300 administrative staff under one roof. A foundation does much more than support the weight of a structure. In an organization, the makings of a sturdy foundation include a vision, core values, and forward -thinking strategies. This combined with implementation programs continuously strengthen the stability of OC San. As stated recently by General Manager Jim Herberg, "OC San is on a solid footing, and the agency is well positioned for continued success into the future." We have a comprehensive 20-year CIP that road maps a path that optimizes the refurbishment and replacement of our collection system and treatment plants. We take part in studies and research to improve water quality, seek opportunities for maximizing resource recovery, and look at innovative technologies such as supercritical water oxidation as a means for biosolids management. We incorporate what we learn into our work to address environmental matters of water recycling, energy conservation, seismic, and climate resiliency. On behalf of the Engineering Department, I am pleased to present this year's CIP Annual Report. The effort and dedication to execute the CIP is accomplished by a team of extraordinary people I have the privilege to lead and work with every day. We not only aim to build strong foundations in the physical sense, but also the strong working relationships through cooperative efforts and collaboration with each other. , (,114 �,, 7 - / & /�,� Kathleen T.

Operations officially began in 1954, then known as the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County. Today, OC San provides wastewater collection, treatment, and recycling for approximately 2.6 million people living and working in central and northwestern Orange County, California. OC San's wastewater collection facilities include 388 miles of regional sewer pipelines and 15 offsite pump stations, located throughout its 479 square miles of service area. Reclamation Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley and Treatment Plant No. 2 in Huntington Beach treat an average of 179 million gallons of wastewater a day from residential, commercial, and industrial sources. The treated wastewater is either sent to the Orange County Water District for recycling or released out the end of a five -mile -long ocean outfall pipeline into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Huntington Beach. Service Population 811.613 in assets 1794ilrinn gallons per day (average)of wastewater received th M A authorized full time staff positions Board of Directors 6 I CIP ANNUAL REPORT — FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 17 CAP TAL MPHUVFMFNT OVERVIEW 0 he interconnected pipelines and pump stations that transport wastewater to OC San were not constructed overnight. In the early 1920s, cities partnered to address the public needs of a sanitary sewer system. This eventually launched the formation of the original sanitation district and building of a strong foundation OC San continues to uphold. MISSION STATEMENT "To protect public health and the environment by providing effective wastewater collection, treatment, and recycling. " �• _., J&M --M _-NIL.1% 1� "M rpm Nt,;. 161 '0M *4 M. �1 hot hp: ` 7 Today's OC San Capital Improvement Program (CIP) ensures that the current infrastructure remains reliable to fulfill the basis of the mission statement. The current CIP focuses on rehabilitating existing infrastructure to prolong its life in the most efficient and cost-effective ways and on modernizing older facilities that are nearing the end of their useful life. The CIP is a continuous process identifying and prioritizing risks and mapping a course for the agency. As a long-term guide, it charts a path moving forward for the next two decades. The CIP provides the framework to deliver a robust plan that builds upon the groundwork and foundation that has already been laid through asset management and previous CIP Planning. The CIP helps to form a steady structure of safe and reliable infrastructure and process equipment that are essential to providing industry -leading wastewater collection and management. During the July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022 fiscal year, OC San's CIP included over 90 active projects. These projects were in various phases between project development and completion, and range in budget from small projects of $320,000 to large projects of $421 million. This annual report highlights just a few of these active projects. For additional information about the CIP, please visit the website www.ocsan.gov/construction.

A breakdown of the current CIP projects for Fiscal Year 2022/23 are based on the four drivers shown here: Additional Strategic Capacity Initiatives 4%, 16% Regulatory 12% Rehabilitation and Replacement 68% Many of the existing projects identified in the CIP address rehabilitation and replacement since existing infrastructure and process equipment are either at the end of useful life or in need of major rehabilitation to extend its life. Other projects are driven by strategic initiatives set forth by OC San's 25-member Board of Directors. One such initiative is to support the final phase of the Groundwater Replenishment System and maximizing reclaimable wastewater availability to the Orange County Water District. There are current CIP projects in construction to support this initiative. As time moves forward, regulatory requirements often become more stringent, and projects are developed that keep OC San in compliance. Lastly, additional capacity may be needed to support growing populations. Most of the facilities were built anticipating and knowing growth, or additional capacity was inevitable. Because of long-term planning, there are few CIP projects that are driven by this category to add more capacity to handle more wastewater flows. However, there are some pipelines in the collection system that need upsizing to accommodate community developments and future growth. 10 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021122 111 ABOUT Th [ PEOPLE OC San is currently in the midst of over a $3.0 billion CIP for the next 10 years. The projected workload to achieve a CIP of this magnitude requires a great deal of resources. The successful deliverance of the CIP is a large endeavor and is achieved with agency -wide collaboration and support. These resources are the building blocks that come together to maintain and build upon the foundation of OC San. The Engineering department is responsible for implementing the CIP by delivering world class engineered projects through skilled staff, technical excellence, proactive project planning, efficient project delivery, effective communication, and critical thinking. It includes 123 full-time staff positions in a variety of engineering, inspection, administrative, supervisory, and support roles. Planning OC San plans, prioritizes, and prepares projects for execution with the help from the Planning division. Projects are identified that are necessary to maintain the level of service OC San has committed to its customers. Using advanced asset management principles, asset engineers identify the condition, capacity, and lifespan of a facility and determine the timeframe for replacement and/or rehabilitation. Project Management The Project Management division delivers high quality, reliable, and cost-effective project solutions, managing projects from the project development through closeout phases. Design The Design division works closely with design consultants and ensures all projects are designed to be reliable, maintainable, and operable at optimum lifecycle costs in accordance with OC San's Engineering Design Guidelines and industry standards and codes. Construction Management The Construction Management division safeguards OC San assets, ensuring engineering projects are safely constructed and are fully inspected to be compliant with the contract documents while minimizing impacts to operations, maintenance, local agencies, and the public. The Community Outreach Program supports the CIP and helps to keep OC San customers informed with a proactive approach, reaching out early when projects are still in the design phase and continuing through construction. Community liaisons connect with residents and businesses to work towards minimizing impacts associated with construction. The community liaisons work in good faith to address concerns and quickly respond to issues and provide reasonable solutions. OC San also utilizes additional resources with supplemental engineering services. This allows the Engineering Department to obtain certain engineering disciplines, specialists, and technical experts as needed to ensure the successful and timely execution of the CIP. Having the ability to obtain needed resources and expertise continue to make the CIP successful. These services help OC San receive vital expertise assistance for critical projects to reduce project risk.

Outcomes from Planning Studies can ultimately result in new projects or elements that are added to or eliminated from the CIP. Rather than narrowly focused projects to solve individual problems, studies are comprehensive and cover larger areas with a more encompassing approach. Energy and Digester Gas Master Plan In the early 1990s, OC San constructed eight internal combustion engines at the Central Generation facilities at Plant Nos. 1 and 2 to generate electricity using digester gas with the excess heat used for digester heating, pipeline maintenance, and heating and cooling buildings. OC San's 2021 Strategic Plan includes an Energy Independence Policy. With this policy in place, OC San strives to be a net energy exporter by maximizing electrical, thermal and methane gas generation while minimizing energy using sound engineering and financial principles. The Energy and Digester Gas Master Plan will provide a road map with options for OC San's beneficial use of digester gas. This study will look at long-term options if the engines can no longer be maintained due to lack of parts, or if regulations become more stringent. This study will also establish a standby power policy, update OC San's power outage response plan and procedures, and evaluate alternative power generation and energy storage methods. Conducting this study now will provide a road map that includes options with implementation triggers to guide timely future CIP projects that will address the beneficial use of digester gas and standby power needs. r� 14 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/Z__ 1 75 Regional Urban Runoff Diversion Optimization Study OC San accepts dry weather urban runoff flows from local agencies to improve water quality in streams, rivers, and beaches in OC San's service area. OC San's Dry Weather Urban Runoff Diversion Program allows the diversion of up to 10 million gallons per day of dry weather urban runoff into OC San's treatment plants. With the Regional Urban Runoff Diversion Optimization Study, OC San is collaborating with the Orange County Water District (OCWD) and OC Public Works. This will be a comprehensive engineering study to identify feasible opportunities to improve water quality to the ocean, and increase water recycling by maximizing OC Public Works runoff management systems, OC San treatment systems, and OCWD recycling and recharge systems. Supercritical Water Oxidation Demonstration at Plant No. 1 OC San collects and processes on average of 179 million gallons of wastewater every day. Cleaning this water results in concentrated solids called sludge and scum. These solids are processed through anaerobic digestion to create methane -rich gas and biosolids. The methane -rich gas is cleaned and used in the treatment plants to make electricity and heat. Biosolids, the enriched nutrients, are the residual material commonly used in the agricultural, non -human food crop industry as a soil amendment. OC San maintains a diverse portfolio of biosolids management options that utilize multiple contractors, facilities, and produce markets, while maintaining fail-safe back-up options. This portfolio ensures that there are reliable options for managing the material should regulations, market conditions, severe weather, or other situations impact any one management option. Staff have been following a new technology called supercritical water oxidation for solids treatment that takes advantage of a unique property of water at high temperature and pressure. The technology presents an opportunity to convert all complex organic material (including plastics and PFAS) to more basic compounds like nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide, and mineral salts. This research project will install a pilot system using supercritical water oxidation to process six tons per day of biosolids. Ocean Outfall Condition Assessment and Scoping Study The original ocean outfall into the Pacific Ocean was constructed in the 1920s. By the 1950s, a new 78-inch outfall approximately one mile long was constructed. In the 1970s, a 120-inch outfall five miles long was constructed and is still used today to discharge OC San's Plant No. 2 effluent off the coast of Huntington Beach. The last mile of the ocean outfall pipeline is a diffuser with over 500 ports through which treated wastewater is slowly released at a depth of 200 feet. This study performed a condition assessment on the aging outfall. The assessment included an internal inspection by remote operated vehicle, external inspection by divers, port cleaning and clearing, development of a 3D model using both internal and external mapping, and a study on the impacts of low flows through the outfall due to increased water recycling. 16 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021122 177 COLLFCTION SYSTEM OC San treats wastewater at its two facilities located in either Fountain Valley or Huntington Beach. The collected wastewater of 2.6 million customers is transported through the regional collection system — an elaborate interconnected series of pipelines, manholes, and pump stations. Projects within OC San's collection system throughout 21 cities, three special districts and portions of the unincorporated area of Orange County are planned, designed, and constructed to keep the wastewater system running efficiently and effectively. Since most projects in the Collection System are on the streets and in the public eye, the community outreach team has a significant role by communicating often and promptly responding to the impacted community. FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 COMMUNITY OUTREACH STATS 3 active projects currently in construction impacting 9 cities Over 100 information pieces reaching over 120,000 residents, businesses, and schools about construction activity in their neighborhoods. E Taft Branch Improvements, Project No. 2-49 The Taft Branch Improvements Project will be adding capacity to the collection system. Originally constructed in 1960, the clay pipe of the Taft Branch Sewer located in the City of Orange ranges in size from 12- to 18-inches in diameter. A previous Collections Capacity Evaluation Planning Study identified the pipeline of not having enough capacity when modeled under wet weather flows. Subsequently, the 2019 Facilities Master Plan recommended the upsizing of approximately 10,000 feet of the Taft Branch to address the insufficiencies. This project is still early in the design, finalizing the Preliminary Design Report at the end of the CIP Annual reporting cycle. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2024. Seal Beach Pump Station Replacement, Project No. 3-67 The Seal Beach Pump Station was constructed in 1973 and is located at the intersection of Seal Beach Boulevard and Westminster Boulevard in the City of Seal Beach. For some time now, the pump station has been showing its age with frequent maintenance needs and many electrical, mechanical, and control systems components becoming obsolete. This project will build a new pump station with an electrical room, odor control improvements with vapor -phase and liquid -phase treatment to minimize both upstream and downstream odors and corrosion, and an emergency generator. These new facilities will be built within the same footprint, while keeping the existing pump station in service until it can be demolished at the completion of the project. The pump station will have a deep 50-foot wet well which will allow gravity flow from a future sewer pipeline project that will ultimately allow for the abandonment of the West Side Pump Station located in the Community of Rossmoor. When complete, the site will be structures, a perimeter wall, and landscape designed with Spanish mission style architecture to seamlessly blend with the City of Seal Beach City Hall. The design is nearly complete and will advertise later this year. Construction is anticipated to begin Fall 2023 and take four years to complete. Westminster Boulevard Force Main Replacement, Project No. 3-62 This project in the cities of Seal Beach and Westminster replaces three miles of the dual force main system from the Seal Beach Pump Station along Westminster Boulevard ending near Rancho Road. This project included an assortment of construction methods varying from open cut excavation, sliplining, and cured -in -place pipe. The more traditional construction method is open cut, or the use of an open trench excavation to replace the pipeline. With sliplining, a new smaller pipe is pulled into the larger host pipe through excavated pits several hundred feet apart. Cured -in -place pipe is a rehabilitation method that cures an inserted liner into an existing pipe. Construction began in 2020 and is anticipated to be completed by late 2022. 18 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT — FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT — FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 179 Gisler -Red Hill Interceptor and Baker Force Mains Rehabilitation, Project No. 7-65 This project consists of multiple elements that will optimize and maximize the service lives of the Gisler -Red Hill Interceptor and Baker Force Mains. It also includes improvements to associated pipelines, manholes, and other appurtenances. The Gisler -Red Hill Interceptor is a gravity pipeline that runs adjacent the 405 freeway in the City of Costa Mesa. There are also several tributary trunks that cross underneath the wide, multi -lane freeway that will be rehabilitated as part of this project. These pipes, like branches, feed additional collected wastewater directly into the Gisler -Red Hill pipeline on its journey to the treatment plant. The Baker Force Mains run side -by -side from the Main Street Pump Station located in the City of Irvine through an industrial area adjacent the John Wayne Airport. These pipelines and force mains will be rehabilitated using the cured -in -place pipe method. This project will also include upgrades and modifications to the piping and vault improvements at the Main Street Pump Station. The project is anticipated to advertise late 2022 and begin construction Spring 2023. Rehabilitation of Western Regional Sewers, Project No. 3-64 This project is a combined program to replace or rehabilitate the regional sewers in OC San's northwestern service area of the cities of Los Alamitos, Cypress, La Palma, Buena Park, Anaheim, Seal Beach, and Rossmoor, an unincorporated area. These sewers range in age from 40 to 60 years and require refurbishment. To manage public impacts and resource demands, the work was divided into separate contracts to be completed on separate schedules. The Orange -Western Sub -Trunk Rehabilitation rehabilitates 21/2 miles of pipeline along Orange Avenue between Valley View Street and Western Avenue and along Western Avenue between Orange Avenue and Santa Elena Drive in the cities of Anaheim, Cypress, and Buena Park. The project also includes the rehabilitation of 35 manholes. Los Alamitos Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation will rehabilitate 6 miles of pipeline and work on over 70 manholes in the cities of Seal Beach, Los Alamitos, and Cypress. The two projects were bid together, and began construction in January 2022 and will be completed by 2023. The Los Alamitos Sub -Trunk and Westside Relief Interceptor Rehabilitation Project is the final project of the Western Regional Sewers program. Primarily in the city of Cypress with some work in the cities of La Habra and La Palma, it will rehabilitate or upsize over 61/2 miles of pipeline. This project is currently in design and is anticipated to begin construction Summer 2023 and last approximately 3 years. 20 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT — FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT — FISCAL YEAR 2021122 121 P[ANT PROJECTS PLANT NO. 1 OC San's Reclamation Plant No. 1 is located in the City of Fountain Valley. It is bounded by Ellis Avenue, Ward Street, Garfield Avenue, and the Santa Ana River, with the 405 Freeway near the front entrance. The treatment facilities have expanded over the past 68 years. Making sure there is enough room to build new structures can be a complex puzzle of moving pieces. Wastewater enters the treatment plant 24/7, and the 2.6 million customers rely on OC San's sewer services to continuously collect, treat, and recycle. Some challenges of capital improvement projects include maintaining existing structures and having available space to construct new structures, all while maintaining the required level of service. Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105 The Headworks Facility is where all incoming sewers converge through a series of pipes, screens, and gates that make up the preliminary phase of a wastewater treatment plant. Headworks are critical water -in, water -out facilities and cannot be readily taken out of service. The current Headworks facilities include the original facilities built and modified between the 1950s and 1960s, only used for emergencies, and the active facilities which began service in 1989. The facilities are mechanically intensive, operate in a very corrosive environment, require frequent maintenance and servicing, and can generate substantial odors. Complete rehabilitation, including demolition of abandoned facilities, is needed to ensure efficient and reliable operation of this critical facility. The nature of these facilities makes the work highly complex and risky. The project must maintain wastewater flow in active portions of the headworks while rehabilitation work is performed. With a cost of $222.3 million, it is OC San's largest construction project to date. This is a complex project requiring extensive coordination with plant operations due to the challenging rehabilitation work with confined space entry and handling live flows. The plant must continue to operate in compliance with regulatory requirements during construction without disruption. Most of the construction in the first year consisted of major demolition to make room for the construction of new structures, tunnels, and buried utilities. Over 500 foundation piles were driven for several new structures including a grit pump station, grit handling building, headworks odor control and chemical facility, a drainage lift station, electrical buildings, and other support systems. Construction began in 2021 with six more years until completion. 22 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 123 South Perimeter Security and Utility Improvements at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-134 Even with a strong foundation, the structure itself needs to be protected. OC San's facilities are considered critical infrastructure under Homeland Security Guidelines. To provide the necessary protection, the southern end of the plant is getting a few security improvements. A chain link fence will be replaced with a new perimeter wall along Ward Street. The new brick wall will be eight feet high and made to match the existing wall along Ellis Avenue with new landscaping. Additional security measures will be installed as part of the project including interior security lighting, cameras, and a permanent security guard house. The project is scheduled to be completed later this year. A new brick wall is being constructed at Plant No. 1 as part of the South Perimeter Security and Utility Improvements Project. a � � 'f i t r.'• "�F - 1 ti: y V d4�'n • iy•�.i " - - .. .. ��, -�• • ie:h _ cam.: Primary Sedimentation Basins No. 6-31 Reliability Improvements at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-133 After wastewater flows through the Headworks, it moves on to the second liquid stage called primary treatment. Primary treatment removes approximately 75-80 percent of suspended solids from wastewater using large concrete basins known as primary clarifiers or sedimentation basins. Plant No. 1 includes two sets of primary clarifiers; a set of 26 rectangular clarifiers and a much older set of three circular clarifiers. Regardless of their shape, the primary function of the clarifiers is to settle the solids. Heavier solids in the water sink to the bottom and lighter less, dense materials float to the top. This project will rehabilitate and make improvements to the rectangular primary clarifiers. Ensuring these facilities are in good working condition is paramount for OC San to maintain the required level of service. With a future construction project that will take the circular clarifiers out of service, the rectangular clarifiers need to be reliable to safeguard and reduce risks. This project is currently in construction and will be completed in 2024. Primary Sedimentation Basins No. 3-5 Replacement at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-126 The circular primary clarifiers at Plant No. 1, built in the 1950s and early 1960s, and many of their associated support facilities including the primary odor control facility are nearing the end of their useful life. The facilities will become increasingly unreliable as time passes and need to be replaced. The rehabilitation of the rectangular primary clarifiers in the project above will be completed by the time construction begins on this replacement project. This project is currently in preliminary design. Construction is anticipated to start in 2026 and take approximately five years to complete. 24 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 202112 125 Headquarters Complex, Project No. P1-128A Current OC San administrative staff are dispersed throughout the 100-acres of Plant No. 1 in aging buildings and trailers that are in need of repairs and require upgrades and a nearby office building. As part of OC San's long-term planning, the 2017 Facilities Master Plan identified the need for additional land area for future treatment process needs. With the lay of the land much more developed today than during the original formation of OC San, finding additional space for treatment facilities will become much more difficult to come by. As time goes on, additional process facilities to support the growing needs of Orange County will require land space. In an effort to preserve treatment process space at the existing Plant No. 1 site, a new Headquarters Complex is being constructed offsite. The new administrative headquarters building will be a hybrid of mass timber columns and decking combined with exposed steel -braced framing. Mass timber is made up for compressed layers of wood and engineered for high strength ratings like concrete and steel but significantly lighter in weight. It also provides a natural warmth on the interior of the building. The new building is set to achieve LEED Gold certification and is on the path to be net zero energy. Residual water from the treatment plant processes will supply 100 percent of the new Headquarters' heating and cooling. Construction began Fall 2021 and will wrap up by late 2023.

It is bordered by Brookhurst Street, the Talbert Marsh along Pacific Coast Highway, and the Santa Ana River. Similar to Plant No. 1, having enough BUENA space for process facilities is a challenge that needs to J A� PARN be assessed when planning any project. I L_ t1LAMITOS A -Side Primary Clarifiers Replacement at Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-98A BESEAL ACH Projects are cohesively planned when \ implementing the CIP. Knowing four new primary clarifiers will need to be constructed to replace four of the oldest clarifiers at Plant No. 2, enough space needed to be reserved for the project to happen. A previous project was completed in 2020 to demolish obsolete structures, making NEWPORT room for the construction of new Primary Clarifiers. After the four BEACH primary clarifiers are constructed, the older clarifiers can be demolished. Construction started earlier this year and will be completed in 2026.

The Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) is a partnership between OC San and the Orange County Water District. Final Expansion of the world's largest purification system for indirect potable reuse will help OC San meet its goal of recycling 100 percent of reclaimable flows. This will increase the production of potable water from 100 to 130 million gallons per day, enough water for one million people. The Headworks Modifications project will allow OC San to reclaim Plant No. 2 wastewater for potable reuse. The Headworks Facility is where all incoming sewers converge as it first enters the plant. The Headworks system needs to be reconfigured to separate wastewater flows from reclaimable and non -reclaimable sources. Without the separation, any non -reclaimable flows will mix with the reclaimable, losing the opportunity to recycle Plant No. 2 wastewater through the GWRS. This project began construction in 2020 and will be completed by late 2022. TPAD Digester Facility at Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-128 Liquids and solids in wastewater are separated as it goes through the treatment process. Sludge is a byproduct of wastewater treatment that requires further processing in digesters to reduce pathogens and volatile organic content. Digesters are large enclosed concrete structures requiring pumping, mixing, heating, and gas handling systems. Digesters mimic the stomach, allowing good bacteria go to work breaking down the organic molecules in sludge and producing methane gas. The digested sludge is called biosolids, that are beneficially reused in compliance with state and federal requirements. OC San recycles biosolids as a bulk soil amendment for farms or compost facilities. As a renewable resource, the methane gas that is generated is converted into electricity to produce the power and heat that run the plant. OC San has 18 digesters at Plant No. 2 that were built from 1959 through 1979. A comprehensive Biosolids Master Plan completed in 2017 recommended upgrading the existing digester complex with Temperature Phase Anaerobic Digestion (TPAD) facilities. Four main sequential projects have been incorporated into the CIP which will ultimately replace the entire digester complex by 2040. The first project will build 5 new TPAD digesters. These new digesters will be constructed at the southwest corner of Plant No. 2, immediately adjacent the current digester complex. The Preliminary Design Report was completed in January 2022. With construction currently estimated at $290 million, this is anticipated to be the largest project to date when it starts construction in 2025 and takes approximately five years to complete. 28 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021122 1 29 JOINT PHU L IS At OC San, joint treatment plant projects are those that benefit both treatment plants, many times stretching across plant boundaries or relating to support facilities that are not treatment process oriented. Ocean Outfall System Rehabilitation, Project No. J-117B The Ocean Outfall Booster Station is the primary pump station and last stop before non -reclaimable treated wastewater is released through the ocean outfall. With the final expansion of GWRS, less flows will be sent out through the ocean outfall, much less than what the Ocean Outfall Booster Station was originally designed and constructed to handle over 30 years ago. With more water recycling, the pumps are sized much too big, causing inefficiencies. Because of this, a low flow pump station needs to be constructed with pumps sized more appropriately to better reflect the amount of treated wastewater released through the ocean outfall. Construction started Spring 2019 and is anticipated to be completed in 2024. Process Control System Upgrades, Project No. J-120 Most of the projects highlighted thus far have focused on the actual structures themselves. What has not been mentioned is the system of networks, servers, and software for process monitoring and control of the collections system and treatment plants. OC San uses a system that provides automatic control and allows operators to interactively monitor and control process facilities from centralized areas. Just as critical infrastructure such as pipelines, pump stations, and process facilities need to be rehabilitated or replaced over time, the same goes for the software system. The existing human -machine -interface system software package is no longer supported by any vendors and increasingly difficult to service and maintain. The whole system needs to be replaced and upgraded for OC San to have a reliable system. Upgrades are anticipated to be completed throughout Plant Nos. 1, 2, and pump stations by 2025. 30 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT — FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021122 1 31 F NAN A DATA Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects take many years to complete the planning, design, and construction cycle. The budget includes the total cost from beginning to end of the project. Each year the CIP is put through a validation effort to ensure that every project is needed, has the appropriate level of resources, and is scheduled properly. This validation accounts for cash -flow projections and planning efforts to assure projects are being constructed at the right time and with the right budget. The CIP budget is approved annually by the Board of Directors as part of the overall budget process. OC San's CIP budget includes large facility improvement projects that are carried out by the Engineering Department. It also includes non -engineering projects that include Information Technology and Maintenance projects not detailed in this report. OC San is projecting to spend $3.07 billion in treatment plant and collection system capital replacement, refurbishments, and rehabilitation improvements over the next ten years. Below is a breakdown of costs by the various locations and categories. 10-Year Net CIP Outlay Fiscal Years 2022/23 through 2031 /32 Future Rehabilitation and Replacement — $356 million 11% Plant No. 1— $758.6 million 25% Plant No. 2 — $812.2 million 26% $3.07 Billion Collection System $607.9 million 20% loint Facilities $517.7 million 17% Non -Engineering $22.6 million 1% 32 1 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 CIP ANNUAL REPORT —FISCAL YEAR 2021122 133 O N N n z z c n r m v 0 I T C/) n n r m n ZD N C=) N N N m � to rn En En � O_ O t� W < V { o � � N O EA m < NO N N N � W b9 < (P W Ge { N A ffl < N O < W 91 V N � m N V K ,,, j t�D � W T { AN fp O b9 < A W W O � C.J !A N { Oo S2 N w i CA co bo c0 3 0 0 Pp c z — O moh m 0 CD a) CD Cl 0 3 CD 70 Z n Cn 3 cn w Q 0 � CD �07 �o S�C0- 0 CD cc. =3 CD 0 =3 c0 CZ :E CQT 07 CD CD CD Cl 0 ^^,, - CD Cl) CD CD CD 0 D CD c CD C) CD D c -0 CD xF CD CD X W D CD cn 0 < =3 C: CD Q W W — 3. o CD _ (n CA ^=3 h 3 N.

Herberg, General Manager Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering SUBJECT: Administration Building 10844 Ellis Avenue Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714)593-7433 Agenda Item No: 6. WASTEHAULER STATION SAFETY AND SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT NO. FE20-01 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Receive and file Bid Tabulation and Recommendation for Wastehauler Station Safety and Security Improvements, Project No. FE20-01; B. Award a Construction Contract to LEED Electric, Inc. for Wastehauler Station Safety and Security Improvements, Project No. FE20-01, for a total amount not to exceed $1,689,788; and C. Approve a contingency of $168,980 (10%). BACKGROUND The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) operates a wastehauler receiving station near the entrance of Plant No. 1 which accepts liquid waste from commercial wastehauler trucks. Staff visually observes and collects samples from the commercial wastehaulers prior to allowing delivery. The liquid waste is diverted to OC San's Plant No. 2 wastewater treatment plant as it is considered non -reclaimable and therefore is not able to be recycled by the GWRS. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Comply with California Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, award construction contract to lowest responsive, responsible bidder • Commitment to safety & reducing risk in all operations • Comply with environmental permit requirements PROBLEM The current wastehauler receiving station does not have modern security features, such as automated gate access and computerized information tracking to prevent unauthorized discharges that could contain toxic materials from entering the treatment plant process. Unauthorized discharges containing toxic materials could upset biological treatment processes, polluting the Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIM File #: 2022-2516 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 6. environment through OC San's ocean outfall, and exposing staff to the toxic materials. In lieu of these security features, staff perform many of the tracking and acceptance tasks manually, which are time intensive and inefficient. Staff have also been exposed to spills as the current setup does not provide adequate safety measures. PROPOSED SOLUTION Award a construction contract for Wastehauler Station Safety and Security Improvements, Project No. FE20-01. This project will improve safety and security at the wastehauler station by adding an automated gate system, automatic sampling system, and office trailer for OC San staff. TIMING CONCERNS If this project is delayed, there will continue to be a risk of an unauthorized discharge into OC San's Plant No. 2. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION There will continue to be a risk of an unauthorized discharge into OC San's Plant No. 2. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS N/A ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OC San advertised Project No. FE20-01 for bids on May 19, 2022, and three (3) sealed bids were received on June 22, 2022. A summary of the bid opening follows: Engineer's Estimate $ 802,000 Bidder Amount of Bid LEED Electric, Inc. $ 1,689,788 Mehta Mechanical Company, Inc. $ 1,884,000 THARSOS, Inc. $ 1,979,000 The bids were evaluated in accordance with OC San's policies and procedures. Upon receiving the bids, AECOM, who provided Professional Design Services and prepared the Engineer's Estimate for this project, reviewed the discrepancy between the Engineer's Estimate and the bid results. AECOM indicated that the quotes provided during design for the two automated sampling systems and office trailer were based on off -the -shelf items. However, the sampling systems are required to be customized to meet OC San requirements for gate access, software system, warranty, and on -site services to support commissioning the units. The difference between the off -the -shelf units and the customized package is $455,000. The office trailer also required approximately $50,000 in customizations to meet OC San needs. These two changes, along with markups, result in an increase of $900,000 which coincides with the bids. A notice was sent to all bidders on August 2, 2022 informing them of the intent of OC San staff to recommend award of the Construction Contract to LEED Electric, Inc. Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 3 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2022-2516 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 6. Staff recommends awarding a construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, LEED Electric, Inc., for a total amount not to exceed $1,689,788. CEQA The project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 categorical exemptions set forth in California Code of Regulations section 15301. A Notice of Exemption will be filed with the OC Clerk -Recorder after OC San's Board of Directors approval of the Construction Contract. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS This request complies with the authority levels of OC San's Purchasing Ordinance. This item has been budgeted (Adopted Budget, Fiscal Years 2022-2023 and 2023-24, Section 8, Page 47, Small Construction Projects Program, Project No. M-FE) and the budget is sufficient for the recommended action.

Herberg, General Manager Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering SUBJECT: ENGINEERING PROGRAM CONTRACT PERFORMANCE REPORT GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Administration Building 10844 Ellis Avenue Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714)593-7433 Agenda Item No: 7. Receive and file the Engineering Program Contract Performance Report for the period ending June 30, 2022. BACKGROUND The Engineering Program involves awarding and managing many construction and consulting contracts. In 2008, the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) Board of Directors began awarding contingencies along with construction and consulting contracts for the General Manager to approve construction change orders and amendments to consulting contracts up to the amount of the approved contingency. This practice reduces administrative costs, expedites resolution of project issues that arise, helps avoid contractor delay claims, and facilitates efficient management of many contracts. The Engineering Program Contract Performance Report summarizes construction and consulting contract performance and activities for the quarter ending June 30, 2022. This report is updated quarterly.

One purpose of this report is to document how much of the contingency is utilized. A contract's change order rate is only meaningful when the work is completed. As such, the change order performance charts in this report are based only on contracts closed since the Board began approving contingencies in 2008. The following chart shows how cumulative change order rates have changed for plant, collections, and all contracts since the contingency system was implemented. 12.00% Cumulative Change Order Rates Closed Construction Contracts 11.00% 10.00% All Collections 9.00% Plant 8.00% 7.00% 6.00% 5.00% 4.00% 3.00% 2.00% O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O CO CO Q7 Q7 O O r-I rl N N M M It It Lf'1 Lf1 cD ko f� {� [70 00 Q7 Q7 O O r-I rl N O O O O r-I rl r-I r-I rl r-I r-I rl r-I r-I rl r-I r-I rl r-I r-I rl r-I r-I rl N N N N N Or Or Or Or Or Or a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a Page 10 OC6SAN ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT Engineering Program Contract Performance Report For the Period Ending June 30, 2022 PART 2 — ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENTS OC San engages engineering consultants through Professional Service Agreements (PSAs), Professional Design Services Agreements (PDSAs), Professional Construction Services Agreements (PCSAs), and Master Professional Services Agreements (Master Agreements). PDSAs are used to obtain design engineering services, and PCSAs are a subsequent agreement with the design consultant to provide support services during construction. PSAs are used for planning studies and other consultant assignments. There are currently 16 firms with active engineering services agreements, not including firms with Master Agreements. Master Agreements are issued to a pool of pre -qualified consultants for smaller projects. On those smaller projects, OC San solicits task order proposals from interested firms and awards a task order to the most qualified consultant. There are currently four sets of Master Agreements. • 2017 Master Agreements for Wastewater Treatment Planning Studies (expired) • 2018 Master Design Agreements (expired) • 2020 Master Agreements for On -Call Planning Studies • 2021 Master Design Agreements • Agreement for Design Installation, Implementation and Maintenance of a Process Control System The 2017 Master Agreements for Wastewater Treatment Planning Studies and the 2018 Master Design Agreements have expired, meaning no new task orders can be issued under them, but previously -issued task orders remain active until completed. Task Orders are limited by OC San Ordinance No. OCSD-56 to $300,000 per task order. A status table for all Active Engineering Services Agreements PSAs) is attached under Table 7 and a status table for all Active Agreement is attached under Table 8 (Master Agreements).

On April 27, 2022, Staff requested and obtained Board's approval of two new supplemental engineering services agreements. All new resource requests will utilize these two new agreements, while the existing resource requests will either be completed prior under the existing contract or transferred some time in the next year to the new contracts. Page 22 OC6SAN ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT Engineering Program Contract Performance Report For the Period Ending June 30, 2022 PART 5 — ON -CALL SERVICES AGREEMENTS OC San uses three sets of on -call services agreements for coating inspection and corrosion testing; materials testing, inspection, and other geotechnical testing; and surveying. Services are typically requested by inspection supervisors as needs arise, and the work is generally spread among the available firms. Table 16 lists the contract limits and funds expended to date for each of the agreements which became effective in May 2019 and expired on April 30, 2022 (PSA2019). The contract limit for Ninyo & Moore was increased from $300,000 to $600,000 in April 2020 because that firm was conducting all the associated testing for Newhope-Placentia Trunk Sewer Replacement Project, Project No. 2-72 B&C, and the original contract limit was not adequate. For each of these services, OC San typically uses a single firm for a particular construction contract. Three new sets of contracts (PSA2022) were approved by the Board on March 23, 2022 and expire on April 30, 2025. The status of these contracts is included in Table 17.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Riaz Moinuddin, Director of Operations & Maintenance SUBJECT: ANIONIC POLYMER SPECIFICATION NO. C-2021-1252BD CONTINGENCY INCREASE GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Approve a unit price contingency increase of 5% for a total annual contingency amount of 15% to the Anionic Polymer Specification No. C-2021-1253BD contract with Polydyne, Inc. for the term of November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2023; and B. Approve a unit price contingency increase of 5% for the remaining three, one-year renewal periods; for a total annual contingency amount of 15%. 1 :(r]:loll] Ll I I7 Anionic polymer and ferric chloride are added to the primary influent at both Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) Plant Nos. 1 & 2 to enhance organic removal and improve settling of suspended solids during primary treatment. This is defined as chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT). Solids and organics not captured and removed in primary treatment are converted into biological solids in secondary treatment. Secondary treatment is more energy intensive and secondary solids are more difficult to digest, have lower methane production, and higher dewatering and biosolids hauling costs relative to primary solids. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Meet volume and water quality needs for the GWRS • 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability PROBLEM The proposed unit cost has increased beyond the approved annual contingency amount. Propylene and acrylonitrile (two key raw materials in anionic polymer) have seen over a 40% average increase in a year -over -year comparison. Freight continues to be a record high, up 34% over the last 12 months, impacting raw materials and shipping costs. Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIM File #: 2022-2518 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 8. PROPOSED SOLUTION Staff recommends the Board of Directors approve a contingency increase. TIMING CONCERNS The existing agreement expires on October 31, 2022. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION If anionic polymer is not used in the primaries, it will result in increased solids and organics loading to the secondary treatment plants. Increased energy usage and operating costs can be expected. Less solids captured from the primary treatment process reduces digester gas production. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS September 2021 - Approved a Chemical Supplier Agreement to Polydyne, Inc. for the purchase of Liquid Anionic Polymer, Specification No. C-2021-1252BD, for the period of November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022, for a unit price of $4.50 per active pound delivered, plus applicable sales tax for a total estimated annual amount of $685,125, with four, one-year renewal options; and approved an annual unit price contingency of 10%.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Riaz Moinuddin, Director of Operations & Maintenance SUBJECT: COLLECTION SYSTEM CONDITION MONITORING SERVICE GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Approve a contingency increase of $17,777 (10%) to an existing five-year Service and Monitoring Purchase Order Agreement (107432-OB) of $177,778 with Hadronex, Inc. dba SmartCover Systems for field device communication and monitoring services, for a new total contingency of $35,554 (20%). BACKGROUND The SmartCover Systems devices are deployed in the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) collection system at critical locations. These locations are monitored in real-time for water level changes and hydrogen sulfide gas generation. Staff is alerted when undesirable conditions arise and responds to rectify the situation. Additionally, these monitors are employed for hydrogen sulfide gas generation monitoring to determine the optimal chemical dosing rates and locations for odor and corrosion suppression. In December 2021, the Board of Directors approved a Service and Monitoring Purchase Order Agreement to SmartCover Systems for a total amount not to exceed $177,778 and a contingency of $17,777 (10%). The term covers a five-year period through September 30, 2026, to remotely monitor sewer conditions, potential sewer overflows, and hydrogen sulfide gas generation in the collection system. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Protect OC San assets • Achieve less than 2.1 sewer spills per 100 miles • 12 or fewer odor complaints per year under normal operating conditions in the collection system Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIM File #: 2022-2519 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 9. PROBLEM The current agreement authorization of funds is insufficient to cover the price increase associated with additional units that are requested. The cost of $29,803.62 for five additional units exceeds the original contingency amount approved for this purpose. It is also anticipated that additional units need to be installed for monitoring in other locations in the collection system, which require additional funding. Service renewal costs for the additional units have increased beyond what the original contingency of 10% can cover. PROPOSED SOLUTION Approve an additional contingency of 10% to cover the costs of added units to increase monitoring coverage and prevent service interruptions. TIMING CONCERNS A service interruption will occur if no action is taken to add funding for the additional monitoring units. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION The resulting service interruption will lead to the inability to monitor these locations for potential sewer spills and excessive hydrogen sulfide gas generation. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS December 2021 - Approved a Five -Year Service and Monitoring Purchase Order Agreement with Hadronex, Inc dba SmartCover Systems for field device communication and monitoring services, for the total amount of $177,778 billed in annual installments; and approved a contingency of $17,777 (10%). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The additional five units requested are not in the scope of the original service agreement for thirty- one units with SmartCover Systems. Staff identified the additional locations based on a need to monitor field conditions and mitigate sewer spill risk and excessive chemical use. CEQA N/A FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS This request complies with the authority levels of OC San's Purchasing Ordinance. This budgeted recommendation is in the FY2022-2023 Budget, Operations and Maintenance Department, Division 820, Repairs and Maintenance line item, Operating Expense, Section 6 Page 72.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Riaz Moinuddin, Director of Operations & Maintenance SUBJECT: FLEET VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PURCHASE GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Approve the purchase of replacement vehicles for OC San's fleet as originally approved in the adopted fiscal year 2022/23 budget in the amounts of: • Three light -duty trucks - $133,500 • One step van - $136,900 • Two medium -duty utility trucks - $225,000 B. Approve the re -purchase of the remaining replacement vehicles for OC San's fleet as originally approved in the adopted fiscal year 2021/22 budget in the remaining amounts of: • One medium -duty truck - $67,500 • One heavy-duty truck - $260,000 • Ten Hybrid SUVs (AWD) - $357,400 • Four light -duty trucks - $150,000 C. Delegate to the General Manager and Purchasing Manager the authority to purchase the above listed replacement vehicles, through cooperative contracts, at the not to exceed prices listed above, during the fiscal year. BACKGROUND Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) maintains a fleet of vehicles necessary to meet its business needs. The fleet is comprised of 10 heavy-duty equipment trucks, 25 medium -duty trucks, 77 light -duty trucks, 20 sedans, 15 SUVs, 1 bus, and 19 vans, for a total of 167 vehicles. The Fleet Services Division systematically replaces vehicles as part of an overall fleet right -sizing and modernization strategy. The replacement is based on the current vehicle's ability to meet the assigned group's needs, vehicle age, maintenance cost, condition, and mileage. All vehicles were identified as required for business needs through a baselining effort during the budget preparation process for the fiscal year 2022/23. Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIA File #: 2022-2520 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 10. Each year several vehicles are identified for replacement and proposed during the budget preparation process. The Board subsequently approves vehicle procurements under the capital equipment section of the budget in June of each year. To capitalize on the most cost-effective means to purchase the vehicles, OC San enters into a purchase order agreement with cooperatives that work directly with vehicle manufacturers. OC San benefits from eliminating unnecessary added options of the retail market through dealer shopping and ensures adherence with internal vehicle specifications. Approximately 25% of OC San's vehicles are "Green" or Flex -fuel vehicles. All replacement vehicles are evaluated for "Green" (electric, hybrid, CNG) technology application to ensure adherence with the appropriate regulations. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Participate in local, state, and national cooperative purchasing programs • Ensure the public's money is wisely spent • Maintain a proactive asset management program PROBLEM Vehicle manufacturing has been disrupted due to global events affecting raw materials and supply chains. Models identified by OC San for replacement have been affected by tight vehicle supplies with quickly changing order cutoff deadlines due to industry demand. This has resulted in OC San losing the ability to replace vehicles within its fleet and cost effectively procure vehicles. PROPOSED SOLUTION Enter into purchase order agreements with cooperative providers to allow the ability to quickly adapt to unpredictable order deadline windows for factory build systems. Authorize the General Manager and Purchasing Manager to execute purchase orders with cooperative agreements for vehicle purchases. This will enable staff to meet flexible and changing manufacturer order deadlines for the purchase of vehicles. TIMING CONCERNS Due to supply chain issues, vehicle manufacturers are prematurely closing ordering windows. Manufacturer order periods for the coming model year are late to open and expected to remain open for only a short number of days, instead of six months. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION The vehicles selected for replacement are unreliable, deteriorating, costly, no longer economical to maintain, and lack modern safety features currently required for fleet vehicles. Unscheduled maintenance costs are increasing and vehicle reliability will compromise the mobility needs of staff.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Lan C. Wiborg, Director of Environmental Services SUBJECT: OCEAN ACIDIFICATION AND HYPDXIA MINI -MOORING GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Approve a Sole Source Service Contract with The Regents of the University of California on behalf of its San Diego campus' Scripps Institution of Oceanography to design, build, and maintain an ocean acidification and hypoxia mini -mooring for a total amount not to exceed $237,235 which includes $159,066 for the first one-year period, to develop and deploy the mooring including the initial 6-month operation, and the first swap -out and subsequent 6-month operation; B. Approve the renewal of the Sole Source Service Contract, at the sole option of OC San, for one (1) additional one-year period in the amount of $78,169 for 12-month operation and two swap -outs; and C. Approve a contingency in the amount of $23,724 (10%). BACKGROUND The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) conducts ocean acidification and hypoxia (OAH) monitoring using an oceanographic mooring, which is a seafloor-anchored buoy that suspends multiple water quality sensors throughout the water column. The goal of the mooring is to better understand the variability and decreasing trends in pH (acidification) and dissolved oxygen (hypoxia) within our ocean monitoring region on the San Pedro Shelf. OC San's OAH mooring has been deployed voluntarily since 2012 and is now required under OC San's 2021 ocean discharge permit. Over the last several years, OC San staff have experienced several challenges with the deployment and recovery of the original mooring system due to (1) safety concerns related to its size and complexity, (2) long lead times with the repair and replacement of mooring sensors by the vendor, and (3) the recent retirements of staff with noted expertise in mooring maintenance and deployment. This contract will require Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) to design and build a new mini - mooring to provide real-time measurements of pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity. The mini -mooring was recently developed by SIO as a light -weight system with similar capabilities to a traditional mooring, but designed to be more safely deployed and recovered. For example, the mini - mooring buoy is a little over one foot in diameter with an anchor weighing less than 100 pounds, Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIM File #: 2022-2536 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 12. whereas the original mooring buoy is approximately five feet in diameter and is deployed with a 700- pound anchor. The mini -mooring also features a capability to collect data autonomously for a longer period (up to one year). The contractor will provide their resources and expertise in sensor maintenance and calibrations and will assist OC San staff with safe mooring deployment and recovery. The contractor will also provide services for real-time data stream management, quality control, and visualization according to federal guidelines, as specified in the permit. The mini - mooring design will increase safety for staff at sea and will produce higher quality time series data to better evaluate changing trends in OAH in OC San's coastal monitoring area. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Ensure the public's money is wisely spent • Sustain 1, 5, 20-year planning horizons • Comply with environmental permit requirements • Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities PROBLEM The current mooring has not been collecting OAH data since its last recovery in January 2022. It has not been possible to re -deploy the current OAH mooring due to several challenges with safe deployment/recovery, instrumentation, and staffing. PROPOSED SOLUTION Approve a Service Contract with SIO to design and build a new mini -mooring that will be more safely deployed and recovered. Deployment of a mini -mooring will reduce lag times between deployments and lead to more continuous OAH data for ocean discharge permit compliance. Staff from SIO's Ocean Time Series Lab have significant experience in the design, deployment, and maintenance of similar real-time moorings, including those utilized by other agencies such as the City of San Diego. This proposed solution has been reviewed and approved by staff at the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and Environmental Protection Agency Region IX. TIMING CONCERNS It has not been possible to re -deploy due to issues with safety concerns, sensor repairs, and the retirement of staff with noted expertise in mooring maintenance and deployment. Building and deploying a new and more feasible mooring design as soon as possible will minimize the gap in OAH data collection and enable timely compliance with OC San's ocean discharge permit. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION By not investigating an alternative mooring design, OC San is at risk of violating its ocean discharge permit requirement to monitor OAH at a single location using an OAH mooring.

PROBLEM After five years, the current infrastructure at The Switch has reached the end of its life (5+ years), is now underperforming, and is due for a hardware refresh. OC San's lease recently came to an end as well. Rather than purchase new hardware and continue leveraging The Switch's datacenter, OC San's IT Division explored more cost-effective solutions. PROPOSED SOLUTION To properly adhere to the OC San Disaster Recovery plan, purchase the Hand solution and related professional services to configure the environment. The proposed solution is comparable in monthly cost to The Switch, $13,746 (annual $164,952). The monthly Hand solution will be a monthly cost of $13,206 (annual $158,475). The Hand solution will reduce OC San staff time as maintenance, patching, and upgrades to hardware will no longer be required and will reduce capital equipment replacement costs by approximately $800,000. The prices noted above for Hand are non -disaster situations. If a disaster situation occurs and it is necessary to failover to the Hand site and operate it as OC San's primary computing environment, there will be additional surcharges at $46.58 per hour while recovering data centers at Plant No. 1 and/or Plant No. 2. TIMING CONCERNS Proper performance of the Disaster Recovery environment is imperative for the continued support and continuity of OC San Plant operations. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION A decision not to purchase Hand solution would result in continued inefficiencies, limitations in failover capabilities, the inability to provide high availability, and a degradation in service as hardware fails.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager SUBJECT: INSIDE THE OUTDOORS YEAR END RECAP GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File the Inside the Outdoors Annual Recap Report. BACKGROUND Each year, the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) invites the Orange County Department of Education, Inside the Outdoors (ITO) to present a year-end recap of our joint environmental education outreach program. OC San originally entered into a contract with ITO in March 2015 to enhance our environmental education outreach to students in elementary and high school. The program met the California State Standards and focused on a variety of topics including water, wastewater treatment, and environmental science. In 2021, based on the desire to have a program that is OC San centric, staff and ITO worked together to update and create a new wastewater focused program. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program • Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities • Make it easy for people to understand OC San's roles and value to the community PROBLEM Without this type of program, students may not have the opportunity to explore wastewater treatment and expand their knowledge, understanding, and stewardship of the environment. PROPOSED SOLUTION By providing this educational program, students learn about basic wastewater treatment concepts and how our daily actions could impact the sewer system and the environment. Additionally, students Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIM File #: 2022-2523 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 14. learn about the various roles we have in wastewater treatment through virtual interactive lab activities and virtual tours of Plant No.1. TIMING CONCERNS N/A RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION If we do not educate the students, community, local agencies, and area businesses about OC San and the work we do, we may not have the support necessary to deliver our mission. In addition, by having early education programs, students are exposed to various wastewater careers. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS February 2015 - Approved a Cooperative Agreement with Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) for Educational Services with Inside the Outdoors through June 30, 2015, for an amount not to exceed $11,065, with four one-year renewal options at an amount not to exceed $24,365 per renewal year. /_111Q111IQ0F_111111019101NLViI_%I1*]01 In 2020-2021, staff and ITO worked together to create a new program that focused on the wastewater industry. This was a one-year pilot program not to exceed $27,508 to serve as a trial for a future program with three annual options for renewal. In 2021-2022, staff continued with the contract and during the pandemic ITO switched their methodology from in -person to virtual. A total of 755 students were reached through 27 virtual programs: 575 elementary students and 180 middle/high school students. Most of the participating schools are in Anaheim, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and Tustin.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS UPDATE FOR THE MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST 2022 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File the Legislative Affairs Update for the months of July and August 2022. BACKGROUND The Orange County Sanitation District's (OC San) legislative affairs program includes advocating OC San's legislative interests; sponsoring legislation (where appropriate); and seeking Local, State, and Federal funding for projects and programs. Staff will provide an update on recent legislative and grant activities. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program • Build brand, trust, and support with policy makers and community leaders • Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities PROBLEM Without a strong advocacy program, elected officials may not be aware of OC San's mission, programs, and projects and how they could be impacted by proposed legislation. PROPOSED SOLUTION Continue to work with Local, State, and Federal officials to advocate OC San's legislative interests. Help to create/monitor legislation and grants that would benefit OC San, the wastewater industry, and the community as a whole. To assist in our relationship building activities, we will continue to reach out to our elected officials providing facility tours, one-on-one meetings, and trips to Washington D.C. and Sacramento. Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIM File #: 2022-2524 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 15. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION If we do not work with Local, State, and Federal elected officials, legislation could be passed that negatively affects OC San and the wastewater industry as a whole. Additionally, a lack of engagement may result in missed funding opportunities. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Each year, staff crafts a legislative and regulatory plan, which is a summary of OC San's goals, key issues, and policy positions. In mid -August, Public Affairs staff and State/Federal lobbyist staff met with OC San's Subject Matter Experts to assist in the overall review, development, and update of the Draft 2023 Legislative and Regulatory plan. The legislative and regulatory policies in the Draft 2023 Legislative and Regulatory Plan were developed taking into consideration OC San's priorities, the wastewater industry, and the needs OC San's member agencies and wastewater policy. The current plan is in draft format and the near -final draft version will be brought to the November Legislative and Public Affairs Committee for the Committee's guidance and then to the December Board of Directors meeting for approval.

Leading up to the recess, Congress approved, and the president swiftly signed into law, a budget reconciliation package that addresses western water, clean energy, wildfire, health care and corporate tax matters. The package includes $4 billion to address western water drought conditions with a focus on the Colorado River Basin States. This funding would support land fallowing and conservation efforts such as water recycling. The funding is supplemental to the substantial funding provided through the infrastructure law. This should allow for additional drought assistance to be provided for California projects. Looking forward, congressional action in September will likely be limited as the House is only in session for 10 days, before it recesses in October for the mid-term elections. Central to the September agenda will be passage of a continuing resolution to maintain governmental operations beyond October 1. This means that the Lame Duck Session will focus on finalizing the fiscal year 2023 spending bills along with a few outstanding issues. The following summarizes the issues of interest to OC San that we anticipate the Lame Duck Session will consider. Fiscal Year 2023 Appropriations and Community Projects As has become customary since 1992, Congress will not meet the fiscal year deadline of October 1 to fund federal programs. Instead, the top order of business in September will be passage of a stopgap spending bill. The only question is whether the measure will extend current year spending through December or extend into next year. The decision will likely hinge on which party controls the House and Senate after the elections. The House passed its United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) spending bill as part of a minibus spending bill. It is pending in the 11Page Senate. The Senate, divided 50-50, was unable to reach an agreement on spending levels for fiscal year 2023 spending bills and therefore has not taken committee actions to approve spending bills. This means that any negotiations on final spending bills will be based upon the House -passed bills. The appropriations process as currently structured is to OC San's benefit. As reported previously, Representative Correa successfully supported the demonstration of OC San's PFAS destruction technology, securing $3.4 million through USEPA's water program to support the demonstration. Assuming final passage of the agency's budget, prospects are positive that this Community Project request will be enacted. In other funding priorities, the House spending bill encourages USEPA to continue progress in the development PFAS policy and rules related to effluent limitation guidelines, designation of PFAS as hazardous substances, reviewing biosolids risks, and enhancement of research into treatment technologies. On a more general basis, the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund Program would receive almost $2 billion of which 7.2333 percent would be allocated to California. This would be in addition to the approximately hundreds of millions of dollars California will receive through the infrastructure law. Build America/Buy America (BABA) Waivers Taking Shape USEPA continues to develop guidance on BABA implementation and the availability of waivers from the mandate. The agency has agreed to exempt any project that has submitted final designs and specs to a State Revolving Fund (SRF) agency. It has also established that it will delay compliance with the mandate for six months for projects outside of the SRF program; like those funded through grants. The agency has reportedly decided to defer on how it intends to address the requirement that domestic content of manufactured products must contain at least 55 percent U.S. made content. Instead, it will await an Office of Management and Budget guidance document that will apply to the entire federal government's implementation of the mandate. At this writing, assuming that OC San's Community Project assistance request is enacted, the assumption should be that the technology holder should validate that its technology will meet a blanket 55 percent domestic content threshold or develop a formal waiver application relying upon the broad general waiver in the public interest. • PFAS and Clean Water Agencies USEPA is working to meet the deadlines contained in its PFAS Roadmap to impose standards for the control of PFAS entering the environment. For OC San, the most serious policymaking matter is designating PFAS as hazardous under Superfund. 2 1 P a g e On August 12, the Office of Management and Budget finalized its review of USEPA's proposed rulemaking to list PFAS as hazardous. This means that a proposed rule is likely to be published within the next ninety days. Once issued, a public comment period would be triggered. Under any scenario, it seems highly unlikely that any final rule would become effective before 2024. Other key actions involve developing a new risk assessment model to ascertain whether biosolids create an unacceptable risk to public health and the environment, issuing final effluent limitation guidelines for industries, and encouraging states to incorporate PFAS monitoring into National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Outside of water quality, the agency is on a clear path to issue drinking water standards based upon the stringent Health Advisories it published several weeks ago for PFAS and GenX chemicals. • Omnibus Water and Public Lands Legislation Prior to recessing for August, the House passed H.R. 5118, a bill that incorporates more than forty bills. H.R. 5118 would provide authorizations to support construction of water recycling and desalination projects, implement ecosystem restoration projects, increase funding of watershed projects to protect against wildfire threats and other resiliency needs, and deliver additional grants assistance for underserved and disadvantaged communities' drinking water infrastructure needs. The bill is important because it offers the prospect of becoming an omnibus drought and water resources bill to address these issues and other matters that could support resiliency projects. To this end, the Senate has a number of bills pending that could become a Senate effort. Two bills sponsored by Senators Feinstein and Padilla are notable. First, Senator Feinstein's STREAM Act (S. 4231) would renew expiring provisions of the WIIN Act to deliver hundreds of millions of dollars to support water recycling, desalination, and storage projects. Senator Padilla's Water Efficiency, Conservation, and Sustainability Act of 2022 (S. 4279) would support the adoption of technologies to reduce water use and improve energy efficiency. S. 4279 includes authorizations of $25 million per year over five years that could support assistance to ratepayers to adopt such technologies through assistance provided to utilities. 3 1 P a g e OC6SAN ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT Federal Legislative Report - August 2022 Bills by Priority & Position (■ High M Medium 0 Low Bills Monitor Oppose Iof6 Bill Id US HR 3684 Location United States Title Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Summary Comprehensive infrastructure investment package that provides the biggest infusion of U.S. Federal spending on infrastructure in decades, including $55 billion for water infrastructure.

This process essentially serves as a "fiscal filter" for active bills before they are sent to the floor for final consideration. Typically, any bill with a fiscal impact exceeding $150,000 is placed on the fiscal committee's Suspense File. The fiscal committees had to pass these bills by August 12 and are then considered during floor sessions scheduled between August 15 through August 31. Suspense file hearings were conducted quickly, with Appropriations Chairs reading through the outcomes of hundreds of bills in just a few hours. The Assembly Appropriations Committee considered 323 total bills, 244 of which were passed (75 percent), and 79 held and deemed inactive (25 percent). The Senate Appropriations Committee considered 491 total bills — 368 of which were passed (75 percent), and 123 held and inactive (25 percent). Notably, many of the bills passed onto the floor received substantial amendments, which will set the stage for final deliberations until the Legislature adjourned on August 31. The Governor will have until September 30 to sign or veto any legislation State Legislature Priority bills that are slated for consideration before the August 31 deadline include the following: SB 1157 (Hertzberg) would lower the indoor residential water use target to 42 gallons per capita per day starting in 2030. Recently adopted amendments require the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to conduct an additional study to determine the impact of the 2030 standard as well as addressing its affordability. Additionally, the bill expands the list of available variances that can be granted by the State Water Resources Control Board and DWR. SB 1157 passed the Assembly Appropriations Committee without any amendments requested by the water and wastewater industry. Several associations and water and sanitation agencies remain in an oppose unless amended stance or an oppose stance on the bill.

Governor Newsom Announces Water Strategy for a Hotter, Drier California In August, Governor Newsom announced California's latest actions to increase water supply and adapt to more extreme weather patterns caused by climate change. The actions, outlined in a strategy document published by the Administration called "California's Water Supply Strategy, Adapting to a Hotter, Drier Future" calls for investing in new sources of water supply, accelerating projects and modernizing how the state manages water through new technology. To help make up for the water supplies California could lose over the next two decades, the strategy prioritizes actions to capture, recycle, de -salt and conserve more water. These actions include: • Creating storage space for up to 4 million acre-feet of water, which will allow the state to capitalize on big storms when they do occur and store water for dry periods • Recycling and reusing at least 800,000 acre-feet of water per year by 2030, enabling better and safer use of wastewater currently discharged to the ocean Pa • Freeing up 500,000 acre-feet of water through more efficient water use and conservation, helping make up for water lost due to climate change. • Making new water available for use by capturing stormwater and desalinating ocean water and salty water in groundwater basins, diversifying supplies and making the most of high flows during storm events. These actions are identified broadly in the Newsom Administration's Water Resilience Portfolio — the State's master plan for water released in 2020 — but they will be expedited given the urgency of climate -driven changes. To advance the infrastructure and policies needed to adapt, the strategy enlists the help of the Legislature to streamline processes so projects can be planned, permitted and built more quickly, while protecting the environment. 3 OC San State Bills of Interest BILL AUTHOR SUMMARY ProposedTHER AB 1001 C.

The legislative and regulatory team actively engages, pursues, and monitors activities in California and Washington, D.C. and takes appropriate action in support of or opposition to legislative and regulatory initiatives. Each year, the Board of Directors adopts a Legislative and Regulatory Plan, which is a summary of OC San's goals, key issues, and policy positions. The legislative and regulatory policies in this document were developed taking into consideration OC San's priorities, specifically for the wastewater industry and policy needs. These Board -approved policies serve as OC San's official positions of support or opposition on issues of importance to the agency. The Legislative and Regulatory Plan is a dynamic document, adopted and modified annually to meet the everchanging federal, state, and local policymaking changes throughout the year. The legislative and regulatory team, in conjunction with the Board, may take appropriate action consistent with the Legislative and Regulatory Plan, including, but not limited to, drafting position letters, advocating to legislators and their staff, and proposing and/or commenting on legislation and regulations. Procedure for Taking Positions Staff will track bills and proposed regulations of greatest interest to OC San, particularly those that fall within the goals and objectives identified by the Board and included in this plan. Staff will monitor bills and proposed regulations being watched by similar agencies within our region (Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, South Orange County Water Authority, Orange County Water District, Irvine Ranch Water District, Municipal Water District of Orange County, etc.) as well as state, federal and national associations such as California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), Southern California Alliance of Publicly Owned Treatment Works (SCAP), California Special Districts Association (CSDA), Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), Association of California Cities Orange County (ACC-OC), League of California Cities (LOCC), and National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA). For those bills and proposed regulations that are being tracked and where there is clear policy direction stated in the Board -adopted Legislative and Regulatory Plan, Public Affairs and Regulatory staff can send letters to legislators and regulators and give direction to the lobbyists to advocate that position. 3 January 2023 OC San 2023 Legislative & Regulatory Plan 3. When Regulatory Affairs is deciding to issue a comment letter on proposed regulations, they first review the Board approved criteria established in the Legislative and Regulatory plan. If the proposed position meets the established criteria, then the Regulatory Affairs team will work with OC San's member associations including but not limited to Southern California Alliance of Publicly Owned Treatment Works (SCAP), California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), and National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA). When appropriate, the member association(s) will take the lead and advocate on our behalf. Otherwise, a comment letter will be submitted from OC San directly. This will be decided by both the Regulatory Affairs team with input from the Public Affairs Office. Additionally, the Regulatory Affairs team will work directly with OC San's Administration Manager and other manager's as appropriate when crafting an official comment letter. 4. When an issue is not urgent, all legislative letters will be hand -signed by the Board Chairman or Vice - Chairman. If a matter is urgent, staff may use the electronic signature, so long as a clear policy direction exists, and the General Manager or Designee approves the letter. 5. When a bill does not fall within the scope of the Legislative and Regulatory Plan or is a controversial issue, staff will seek direction from the Legislative and Public Affairs Committee. 6. If a bill does not fall within the scope of the Legislative and Regulatory Plan , but the Association of California Cities Orange County (ACCOC), the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) and/ or the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) has adopted a position, staff may follow this position but must inform the Legislative and Public Affairs Committee of such action at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager SUBJECT: PUBLIC AFFAIRS UPDATE FOR THE MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST 2022 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File the Public Affairs Update for the months of July and August 2022. BACKGROUND Staff will provide an update on recent public affairs activities. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program • Build brand, trust, and support with policy makers and community leaders • Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities • Listen to and seriously consider community input on environmental concerns PROBLEM The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) is well -recognized within the water/wastewater industry; however, within our service area there is limited knowledge by our customers of the important work we do to protect public health and the environment. In general, the customers we serve do not realize that when they improperly dispose of waste into the sanitation system, it can negatively affect our sewer lines, our treatment plants, and the quality of water we supply to the Groundwater Replenishment System. PROPOSED SOLUTION By providing tours, community outreach, education, and general communication via OC San's website, social media outlets, and direct mailings, we can educate the community, local agencies, and businesses on our messaging such as the What2Flush program, energy production, water recycling, biosolids, and our source control program. This, in turn, helps improve the quality of wastewater that is recycled or released to the ocean. Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIM File #: 2022-2525 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 16. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION If we do not educate the community, local agencies, and area businesses about OC San, we may not have the support necessary to deliver our mission. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS N/A ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ACTIVITIES FOR THE MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST 2022 Social Media Over the last two months, we have remained active on our social media accounts. • Facebook: 32 posts and reached 6.6k people • Twitter: 32 posts and reached 3.9k people • Instagram: 23 posts and had 4.4k reached • Linkedln: 10 posts and had 9.1k reached Presentations Over the last two months, OC San has participated in a STEM Engineering presentation with Cypress College; presented at the Huntington Beach Southeast Council Meeting; attended a Huntington Beach Wetlands Meeting; and Lan Wiborg, Director of Environmental Services, gave a presentation at the SoCal 7th Annual Water Conference.

Headquarters Building Moves into Next Phase Staff visited the Albert Robles Center for Water Recycling and Environmental Learning in Pico Rivera to gather ideas for OC San's new Headquarter Building education component. Mock-ups of the future offices and cubicles for the new building were presented to staff to allow the opportunity to obtain feedback on use and functionality of space and arrangements proposed. Santa Ana Watershed Over the years, OC San has provided content for display boards along the Santa Ana River Watershed. These boards include our name, social media handles, and tour information. This year, we partnered with the Orange County Water District to also include information about water recycling. Wastewater 101 Citizens Academy The second Wastewater 101 Citizens Academy began on September 8, 2022. The academy consists of four informational sessions presented by OC San staff and a virtual plant tour. The academy is intended to provide the participants with a thorough understanding of OC San's operations and ongoing efforts to protect public health and the environment. The academy is free to attend, and completion of all four courses will result in a certificate of completion.

Additionally, the General Manager is recommending a one-time payment of $1,500 in the first year for each member of the group hired or promoted as of the last day of the first full pay period in July 2022; and for employees covered by OCERS Plans B and U and who participate in the deferred compensation plan, a matching contribution to their 457(b) deferred compensation plan of up to $235 (professional - exempt employees) or $160 (administrative non-exempt employees). The salary changes, salary range adjustments, and benefit changes would take effect the first pay period of July 2022. Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 4 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2022-2546 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 17. Currently, the Confidential Group's salary market position is at the 75th percentile based on June 2022 data. The projected market percentile after the three-year increases is 78th, which is in alignment with the Board target of 75th percentile. The total three-year cost of the recommendations for the Confidential Group is approximately $697,370. For all three unrepresented groups, the General Manager recommends moving to the enhanced dental plan negotiated with the SPMG and OCEA groups, which includes an increase to the annual plan maximum and the lifetime orthodontic maximum for plan year 2023. The three-year cost to move all three represented groups to the enhanced plan is approximately $13,703 in total. The total cost of the recommendations for Executive Management Team, Manager, and confidential employee classifications is approximately $2,120,486 over the three-year term. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Ensure the public's money is wisely spent • Offer competitive compensation and benefits • Cultivate a highly qualified, well -trained, and diverse workforce • Maintain positive employer -employee relations • Provide professional growth and development PROBLEM With the adoption of the Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between OC San and employees in the Supervisory and Professional Management Group (SPMG) and Orange County Employees Association (OCEA), it is customary to align compensation and benefits for Executive Management Team employees, Manager Group employees, and similarly situated unrepresented Confidential Group employees, consistent with past Board action. PROPOSED SOLUTION Adopt Resolution Nos. OC SAN 22-27, OC SAN 22-28, OC SAN 22-29, and OC SAN 22-30. This would provide the Executive Management Team, Managers Group, and Confidential Group salary and benefit enhancements in alignment with represented bargaining units for Fiscal Years 2022/2023, 2023/2024, and 2024/2025 and ensure internal alignment across employee groups and prevent salary compaction with subordinate classifications. TIMING CONCERNS The Board of Directors ratified three-year MOUs for labor contracts with SPMG and OCEA at the meeting held on July 27, 2022. Historically, salary and benefit adjustments for unrepresented employees are approved the month following adoption of MOUs.

RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION Not taking timely and similar action on salary and benefit adjustments for unrepresented employees in the Executive Management Team, Manager Group, and Confidential Group may impact employee morale, loss of personnel, and create salary compaction with subordinate classifications. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS July 2022 - Approved Resolution Nos. OC SAN 22-22 and OC SAN 22-23, adopting the MOUs with the SPMG and OCEA bargaining units for Fiscal Years 2022/2023, 2023/2024, and 2024/2025. September 2019 - Approved Resolution Nos. OCSD 19-13, OCSD 19-14, OCSD 19-15 and OCSD 19-16, authorizing salary increases, salary range adjustments, and benefit changes for employees in the Executive Management Team, Managers Group and Confidential Group for Fiscal Years 2019/2020, 2020/2021 and 2021 /2022. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Board of Directors ratified three-year labor contracts with SPMG and OCEA at the meeting held on July 27, 2022. Historically, salary and benefit adjustments for unrepresented employees including the EMT, Managers Group, and Confidential Group have aligned with those approved for SPMG and OCEA, and have typically been approved the month following adoption of those MOUs. Alignment prevents compaction and maintains OC San's pay structure and market position. CEQA N/A 1;11►/_1►[a/_1Wde7►R11IQ4:?-A1101ki&? This item is budgeted in each Fiscal Year budget.

Item No: 18. SUCCESSOR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS - LOCAL 501 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Adopt Resolution No. OC SAN 22-31, entitled, "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District approving the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Orange County Sanitation District and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 501, for Fiscal Years 2022/2023, 2023/2024 & 2024/2025"; B. Direct Staff to finalize and sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Orange County Sanitation District and the Local 501 bargaining unit; and C. Approve pay grade changes for the following classifications: Mechanic (LOC61 to LOC62), Senior Mechanic (LOC67 to LOC68), and Lead Mechanic (LOC71 to LOC72). BACKGROUND The MOU between the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 501 (Local 501) that became effective on July 1, 2019 expired on June 30, 2022. Local 501 submitted its initial proposal for a successor MOU on April 13, 2022. Local 501 and OC San have met and conferred in good faith nine (9) times since receiving the initial proposal. As of the Board meeting on June 22, 2022, most items proposed, except for salary and wages, had either reached tentative agreement or had been withdrawn. Based on Board authorization, the Chief Negotiator presented a counter proposal to Local 501 following the June 2022 meeting, at which time OC San and Local 501 came to a full tentative agreement. On July 8, 2022, OC San was informed that the tentative agreement was not ratified by the Local 501 membership.

Management will make a reasonable effort to accommodate such requests, considering the operational needs of the DiGtFiGtOC San, in accordance with the following guidelines: 49.4.2. The requirement to work any shift is considered an essential job function. An employee who requests a transfer due to health reasons that are supported by competent medical findings will be considered disabled and an effort will be made to explore reasonable accommodations. If such accommodations cannot be made, or if the accommodation would result in an undue business hardship on the D;etFietOC San, the employee will have the option of remaining in the position unless his/her presence would pose a threat to the safety and welfare of others. 49.4.3. Transfer requests for non -medically related reasons will be considered only when the health or well being of the employee or a member of his/her immediate family is involved. In such events, the transfer would normally be of a temporary nature and limited to the duration of the emergency. 49.4.4. Employees who wish to submit a Request for Transfer must do so in writing to their supervisor. The request should contain sufficient information to allow full consideration of the nature of the emergency or medical condition, and include medical documentation. ARTICLE 50.

Herberg, General Manager Originator: Kelly A. Lore, Clerk of the Board SUBJECT: CONTINUATION OF TELECONFERENCED PUBLIC MEETINGS GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Administration Building 10844 Ellis Avenue Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714)593-7433 Agenda Item No: 19. Adopt Resolution No. OC SAN 22-32 entitled, "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District authorizing the continuation of Remote Meetings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953". BACKGROUND Under Section 54943(b)(3), a legislative body may use teleconferencing in connection with any meeting if it posts agendas in all teleconference locations, identifies each teleconference location in the meeting notice, makes each teleconference location accessible to the public, and allows members of the public to address the legislative body from each teleconference location. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361. The bill amends Government Code Section 54943 to allow legislative bodies to use teleconferencing for public meetings without complying with the requirements of Section 54943(b)(3) if 1) the Governor has proclaimed a state of emergency and the County of Orange recommends social distancing for vulnerable populations, and 2) the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present an imminent risk to the health of Board Members, staff, and the public. The first condition is currently satisfied because the Governor's proclaimed State of Emergency remains in effect, and the County of Orange currently recommends measures to promote social distancing for vulnerable populations. In addition, the following facts support a finding by the Board that meeting in person would present an imminent risk to the health of Board Members, staff, and the public: • In -person meetings of the Orange County Sanitation District's (OC San) Governing Board and Committees involve relatively large numbers of attendees, as the Board has 25 members and OC San has a large staff. • The room in which Board and Committee meetings take place is not large enough to easily accommodate social distancing given the number of Board Members and staff that regularly attend. Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 4 Printed on 9/20/2022 powered by LegistarTIM File #: 2022-2515 Agenda Date: 9/28/2022 Agenda Item No: 19. • While effective COVID-19 vaccines are widely available, many Orange County residents have not been vaccinated. • In order to slow down the transmission of COVID-19 and its variants, public health officials recommend that unvaccinated persons avoid gatherings and practice social distancing. • Some individuals who contract COVID-19 and its variants have no symptoms or have only mild symptoms and are therefore unaware that they carry the virus and may be transmitting it to others. • Older adults and individuals with medical conditions are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and its variants. • The age, condition, and health of a significant portion of residents within OC San's jurisdiction place them at risk for serious health complications, including hospitalization and death, from COVID-19 and its variants. • Younger and otherwise healthy people are also at risk for serious health problems and may transmit COVID-19 and its variants to others. In order to hold remote meetings without complying with Section 54943(b)(3), the legislative body must: 1) give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, 2) provide a call -in or internet based option, and 3) provide an opportunity for the public to address the legislative body in real time. Microsoft Teams will allow OC San to comply with the second and third requirements. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Comply with Government Code Section 54943 • Commitment to safety & reducing risk in all operations • Provide a safe and collegial workplace PROBLEM Surges in COVID-19 and its variants have been reported across California as well as the country. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members of the OC San Board of Directors and its Board Committees to meet safely in person, and OC San officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing in OC San facilities. PROPOSED SOLUTION OC San staff recommends Board of Directors, and its Board Committees meetings continue to remain fully virtual provided the public has the ability to participate and the Board of Directors adopt a resolution every 30 days to continue using the relaxed Brown Act teleconferencing requirements. TIMING CONCERNS If the Resolution is not adopted, Board of Directors and Committee meetings will be required to meet in person pursuant to Government Code Sections 54950, et seq.

LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) — Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance. N-NITROSODIMETHYLAMINE (NDMA) — A N-nitrosamine suspected cancer -causing agent. It has been found in the GWRS process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide with extra ultra -violet treatment. NATIONAL BIOSOLIDS PARTNERSHIP (NBP) —An alliance of the NACWA and WEF, with advisory support from the EPA. NBP is committed to developing and advancing environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory compliance and promote public participation to enhance the credibility of local agency biosolids programs and improved communications that lead to public acceptance. PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) — A large group (over 6,000) of human -made compounds that are resistant to heat, water, and oil and used for a variety of applications including firefighting foam, stain and water-resistant clothing, cosmetics, and food packaging. Two PFAS compounds, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) have been the focus of increasing regulatory scrutiny in drinking water and may result in adverse health effects including developmental effects to fetuses during pregnancy, cancer, liver damage, immunosuppression, thyroid effects, and other effects. PERFLUOROOCTANOIC ACID (PFOA) — An ingredient for several industrial applications including carpeting, upholstery, apparel, floor wax, textiles, sealants, food packaging, and cookware (Teflon). PERFLUOROOCTANESULFONIC ACID (PFOS) — A key ingredient in Scotchgard, a fabric protector made by 3M, and used in numerous stain repellents. PLUME — A visible or measurable concentration of discharge from a stationary source or fixed facility. PUBLICLY OWNED TREATMENT WORKS (POTW) — A municipal wastewater treatment plant.
