WELCOME & OPENING REMARKS:
General Manager James D. Herberg welcomed the Directors and distributed a 2017
Board Tour Guide Map.
TOUR:
Director of Engineering Rob Thompson and Director of Operations and Maintenance Ed
Torres departed with the tour group at 3: 10 p.m. which proceeded to the following:
Plant No. 2: The tour visited the central generation system and discussed future
planned engine rebuilds -these engines are vitally important as they produce
about 2/3 of the energy utilized on-site by our facilities. The current demolition and
abandonment work and the current construction of the Ocean Outfall System
Rehabilitation project, which includes rehabilitating the 84 and 120-inch pipelines
that travel along the Santa Ana River trail, were viewed. This project will also
modify the Ocean Outfall Booster Station wet well and junction boxes to
accommodate lower flows to the ocean due to the Groundwater Replenishment
System final expansion (this portion of the project is scheduled to begin next year).
Plant No. 1: The tour visited the Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control facility
which includes the new Centrifuges. This project will reduce the overall cost of
processing and hauling our daily production of biosolids.
ADJOURNMENT: At 4:30 p.m . the Special Board Meeting was adjourned until the
Regular Board Meeting on December 20, 2017 at 6:00 p.m .
