Board authority was required for purchases of goods or services, excluding public works
purchases, to $100,000.
When approving this change, the Committee asked for periodic reports showing
purchases approved by the General Manager for amounts between $50,000 and
$100,000. Subsequent to receiving the initial report, the Committee requested that
future reports be placed on the Consent Calendar.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Robert Ghirelli, Assistant General Manager
Originator: James Matte, Safety and Health Supervisor
SUBJECT: Approval of the Water Emergency Response Organization of
Orange County (WEROC) Indemnification Agreement
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
To Bel. of Dir.
12/20/06
Item Number
Approve an indemnification agreement with the Water Emergency Response
Organization of Orange County (WEROC) for mutual aid between member agencies of
WEROC and the Orange County Sanitation District during emergencies, in a form
approved by General Counsel.
SUMMARY
The Water Emergency Response Organization of Orange County (WEROC) was
formed in 1983 by the Orange County water community for the purposes of coordinating
an emergency response by all Orange County water agencies in the event of an
earthquake, flood, fire, or other regional disaster. In 2004, WEROC expanded its
charter to include wastewater agencies, citing similar business interests and the primary
goal of protecting public health. At this time, the Orange County Sanitation District was
invited to participate in WEROC.
WEROC coordinates and supports an effective emergency response to a major disaster
on behalf of all Orange County water and wastewater utilities. To carry out this mission
WEROC provides services that promote planning and preparedness activities for both
the utilities, as well as its own Emergency Operations Center (EOC) volunteer staff. The
program also takes an active role in maintaining two EOCs. WEROC receives advice
and guidance from its Steering Committee, which includes representatives from Orange
County water and wastewater utilities, The County of Orange and the California
Department of Health Services.
The program is funded by a consortium of Orange County water and wastewater
utilities.
The participation of OCSD shall be to receive mutual aid from, as well as provide mutual
aid to WEROC member agencies in the event of an emergency; provide discounted
emergency response and planning training; and pool resources for regional projects
such as the Hazard Mitigation Plan. OCSD has a similar agreement in place with the
County of Orange. By not joining, we lose these benefits and increase overall
administrative costs to OCSD.

or other items, supplied or contributed for the use of WEROC by that WEROC
Participant.
COVENANT TO INDEMNIFY OTHER PARTICIPANTS FOR ACTS OF
OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
Except as provided in Paragraph 6 hereof, while carrying out their functions and
activities under the Emergency Response Plan, each agent, employee and
officer of a WEROC Participant shall continue to act within the scope and duties
of his employment or relationship with that' WEROC Participant and shall not be

willful or malicious acts of that WEROC Participant's officers, employees, or
agents while engaged in carrying out their duties, functions or activities
pursuant to the WEROC Emergency Response Plan.
6. EMPLOYEE CLAIMS.
Any employee, officer or agent of a WEROC Participant who is acting under
the direction, supervision or control of an employee, officer or agent of
another WEROC Participant pursuant to the WEROC Emergency Response
Plan shall, except as otherwise provided under Labor Code §§3600.2 through
3600.6, be considered to be the special employee of the WEROC Participant

employee of his or her regular employer while engaged in carrying out duties,
functions or activities pursuant to the WEROC Emergency Response Plan. The
special employer, if any, and general employer, shall indemnify and hold all
other WEROC Participants harmless from any and all claims, liabilities or

7. COVENANT TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE OR SELF-INSURE EACH WEROC
Participant agrees to obtain and maintain insurance policies naming the
remaining WEROC Participants as additional insured's or participate in a self-
insurance pool, or maintain a reasonably adequate self-insurance fund as

d. Property Owner's Liability, if applicable: $1,000.000 per occurrence
8. ARBITRATION
The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that in the event of a claim for
personal injury or property damage arising out of a WEROC activity, it would
probably be in the best interests of the WEROC Participants and their insurers to
submit the issue, of which WEROC Participant or Participants has the ultimate
duty to indemnify the others, to binding arbitration and that the party or parties
determined to be ultimately responsible conduct the defense of the claim on
behalf of the other WEROC Participant defendants in the event of a lawsuit.
It is the intent of the parties to encourage the use of binding arbitration to
effectuate the terms of this Agreement whenever possible. Therefore, each
WEROC Participant agrees that, as soon as possible after receiving notice of any
claim arising out of a WEROC activity, that WEROC Participant will notify all
WEROC Participants in writing of the existence of the claim or potential claim.
Upon receipt of notice of a claim or potential claim arising out of a WEROC
activity from a claimant or another WEROC Participant, each WEROC
Participant, which is not self-insured, will notify its insurance carrier of the
existence of the claim and of the terms of this Agreement. If the insurance
carriers of WEROC Participants and self-insured WEROC Participants agree to
submit the issue of the obligation to indemnify under this Agreement to binding
arbitration, the parties hereto agree not to object to arbitration.
Nothing herein shall be construed as a consent or undertaking on the part of
any insured WEROC Participant to pay all or any portion of the costs of
arbitration or other costs which it would not otherwise be obligated to pay under
its insurance policy in the absence of this Agreement.

FAHR COMMITTEE
AGENDA REPORT
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Robert Ghirelli, Assistant General Manager
Originator: James Matte, Safety and Health Supervisor
SUBJECT: Approval of the Orange County Regional Water and
Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Meeting Date To Bel. of Dir.
12/13/06 12/20/06
Item Number Item Number
OMTS06-87
Approve the Orange County Regional Water and Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation
Plan, subject to incorporation of comments, if any, by the State Office of Emergency
Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
SUMMARY
A Hazard Mitigation Plan is a pre-disaster strategic plan written to guide how a
community will lower its risk and exposure to disasters. Jurisdictions, like the water and
wastewater agencies participating in the Orange County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan,
are dedicated to ensuring service to their customers and to safeguarding those services
when disaster strikes.
An approved Hazard Mitigation Plan helps meet that goal. In addition, participating
jurisdictions become eligible to receive Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) grants, which ease the financial impacts of emergency preparedness planning
and the response measures developed before and after natural and manmade
disasters.
OCSD staff has been working with MWDOC and WEROC staff and their consultant,
URS Corporation, and 18 other water and wastewater agencies in the County to
complete the Orange County Regional Water and Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation
Plan. Agencies who did not participate in this process were either already covered by
an existing Hazard Mitigation Plan or elected not to prepare a plan. The participants in
the plan include:
Participating Water and Wastewater Service Providers
Regional Service Providers
Municipal Water District of Orange County
Orange County Water District
Orange County Sanitation District
South Orange County Wastewater Authority

Beginning in 2004 FEMA began restricting grant applications for pre-and post-disaster
hazard mitigation funds for any agencies not covered by an approved Hazard Mitigation
Plan. These FEMA funds are available for the purpose of mitigating damage to public
facilities due to a natural disaster -fire, flood, earthquakes, landslides, etc. For
example, a retrofit of a water treatment plant to protect against earthquakes would be
eligible, but only if a Hazard Mitigation Plan has been previously prepared that identified
the need for the retrofit. WEROC identified that many of the water and wastewater
agencies in the County were not covered by Hazard Mitigation Plans. The plans are
extensive documents that require a significant amount of staff and/or consultant time to
prepare. WEROC secured the grant and has facilitated the process of completing the
plan. The benefits of completing a plan include:
• Qualifies agencies to submit for Hazard Mitigation Implementation Grants. FEMA
allocates funding every year for these types of grants.
• During disaster recovery efforts, Hazard Mitigation elements can be added into the
recovery work and can be submitted for funding by FEMA. Without the plan,
disaster recovery is limited to what was already there.
• Going through the process of reviewing the water and wastewater system
operations and impacts from natural hazards is good business and allows an
agency to anticipate what might happen in the future to be better prepared.
The steps involved in developing the Hazard Mitigation Plan are outlined in Attachment
A. The culmination of the process is a list of goals, objectives and actions that can be
carried out to reduce the risk of water or wastewater systems being out of service.

The final list of hazards profiled for Orange County included:
• Tsunamis,
• Contamination,
• Dam Failure,
• Drought/Extreme Heat,
• Earthquake,
• Liquefaction,
• Expansive soils,
• Floods/Coastal Storms,
• High winds/Santa Ana Winds (resulting in power outages),
• Landslide/mudslide,
• Land Subsidence,
• Tornado/Water Spout,
• Wildfire/Urban Fire, and
• Human caused hazards.
A table in Attachment A provides an overview of the potential financial risks to the water
and wastewater facilities in Orange County.
Part of the Plan Preparation Process required by FEMA is to hold public meetings to
receive input into the process before the final plan is prepared. Three meetings were
recently held to provide an opportunity for public input and review of the process.
Additional information regarding the meetings can be found in Attachment A
The Hazard Mitigation Plan is not binding on any agency, but adoption of the plan by
the local jurisdictions essentially clears the way for the mitigation projects to move
forward when and if specifically approved and funded by the local jurisdiction. The
Orange County Regional Water and Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan will be
submitted to FEMA and the California Office of Emergency Services for approval once
consideration has been completed by all of the local entities. Upon adoption by the
local entities, they will be asked to send a letter certifying successful action by their
governing body, a draft attached as Attachment B.
The Plan was prepared with $106,000 in Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) grant funds secured by WEROC for the planning effort, along with funds and in-
kind contributions by the participating agencies and MWDOC. The agencies
participating in the process committed staff time to provide input into the regional plan
and to draft goals, objectives, actions and an implementation plan for their own
community. Each participating agency has its own implementation section. The total
effort, including in-kind contributions, is estimated at $262,000. OCSD's portion was $
4,800.00.
The Plan will require updating every five years. MWDOC will act as the regional
facilitator for monitoring and updating of the plan.

What is involved in the Hazard Mitigation Planning Process?
As noted in the figure below, the basic steps in the process are to assess the risks and
the risk profile within the community to the water and wastewater facilities in Orange
County and develop plans to mitigate those risks. The culmination of the process is a
list of goals, objectives and actions that can be carried out to reduce the risk of water or
wastewater systems being out of service.

The following table provides an overview of the potential financial risks to the water and
wastewater facilities in Orange County. This table conservatively assumes that if a
facility is damaged, the damage is valued at 100% of the replacement cost.
Replacement costs for various types of facilities were valued at the highest values
submitted from among any of the participants (to be conservative and for ease of
analysis). One confusing part of the table has to do with the FEMA requirement that a
facility be included in only one category of an event. For example, for earthquakes a
facility may be damaged by a moderate earthquake, but also by an extreme earthquake.
The table below captures the geographic location based on the GIS mapping. The
earthquake hazard map in Orange County shows a much smaller geographic area of
"extreme" rating compared to "high" or "moderate". This is the reason why the
"extreme" event indicates less dollar damage. A better way to view the table is to think
of the "extreme" category as being what would occur in addition to the "high" or
"moderate" categories.
The biggest threat in California and Orange County is due to the occurrence of
earthquakes, of which there are five major faults within Orange County. Mitigation
against all service issues from earthquake damage is not possible. At all public
meetings, the need for the public to be self sufficient for the first 3 to 5 days following a
major earthquake until the local and regional utilities can get their systems back at
partial or full operating capacity is crucial.

Part of the Plan Preparation Process required by FEMA is to hold public meetings to
receive input into the process before the final plan is prepared. Three meetings were
recently held to provide an opportunity for public input and review of the process. The
first meeting was held at El Toro Water District's Community Advisory Group meeting.
This is a quarterly meeting with their customers to discuss and highlight items affecting
ETWD. There were about 40 attendees.
Two regional community meetings were advertised via press releases, water bill inserts,
retail agency service counter materials and via MWDOC's website. One meeting was
held in Tustin while the second meeting was held at MNWD. Approximately 15
members of the public attended the meetings, including two members of the Orange
County Grand Jury. Important contacts were made at both meetings, including a
hospital administrator and a local community preparedness organization.
Following the public meetings, the final edits were made to the Plan which culminated in
a Final Draft Plan being completed on September 29. Our goal is to complete the
approval and adoption process for the plan by December. This will require specific
consideration by each of the 20 participating Boards or City Councils. The Hazard
Mitigation Plan is not binding on any agency, but adoption of the plan by the local
jurisdictions essentially clears the way for the mitigation projects to move forward when

and if specifically approved and funded by the local jurisdiction. Implementation of
some projects many not be possible without outside funding. The Orange County
Regional Water and Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan will be submitted to
FEMA and the California Office of Emergency Services for approval once consideration
has been completed by all of the local entities. Upon adoption by the local entities, they
will be asked to send a letter certifying successful action by their governing body, a draft

Adoption of the Orange County Regional Water and Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation
Plan
Dear Ms. Hubbard,
The Orange County Sanitation District recognizes the natural and manmade hazards that can
affect the Orange County water and wastewater community. Due to the potential affects those
disasters can have on our ability to provide (water and/or wastewater) services to our customers
we determined it was of benefit to participate in the Orange County Regional Water and
Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation.
The Orange County Sanitation District participated in the year long process with the Hazard
Mitigation Working Group (staff representatives from the 20 agencies) to identify critical
infrastructure that is vulnerable to natural hazards. Based on the information developed both
regional and individual agency goals, objectives and actions were prepared. The Pre-Draft
Hazard Mitigation plan was advertised and shared with the public at three meetings.
The final draft plan was presented to the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation
District for review and adoption as our official agency hazard mitigation plan. It is recognized
that this plan is adopted in coordination with our Malicious Event Vulnerability Assessment and
Emergency Response Plan. Staff will utilize both documents as a guideline for future hazard
mitigation actions, projects and grant proposals.
This letter serves to document that the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation
District adopted the plan on December 21, 2006 with the recognition that the State Office of
Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency may suggest required
changes to the plan, which will be incorporated.
Sincerely,
Orange County Sanitation District

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Mike White, Controller
SUBJECT: COLLECTION OF CAPITAL FACILITY CAPACITY CHARGES FROM
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff to pursue capital facilities capacity charges (CFCC) owed by school districts
and community college districts for the current year and for prior charges owed over the
past four years.
SUMMARY
The Sanitation District primarily collects CFCC fees through the building permit process
of our member cities. Each city establishes various fees, including the Sanitation
District's CFCC fee, to be paid at the time the building permit issued. All CFCC fees are
then remitted to the Sanitation District on a monthly basis. However, only the Santa
Ana Unified School District obtains building permits from the local city for their
construction projects. All other school districts work through the State of California for
approval to begin construction and do not obtain local building permits. Therefore,
these school districts have not been paying the Sanitation District's CFCC fees. Staff is
proposing to contact these school districts and obtain their construction schedules for
the current year and four years back, and to assess them their fair share of CFCC
charges owed to the Sanitation District.
