This achievement stems from OC San's strategic alignment with our partners at the Orange County Water District (OCWD); and WHEREAS, under his leadership, Mr. Wanke and the OC San Board of Directors remain steadfast in their dedication to enforcing federal mandates that pertain to dental offices, with the primary objective of curtailing the release of mercury into the environment. OC San's efforts have yielded remarkable results, having received over 1,600 completed Dental Discharger Compliance Reports to date. In June of 2022, we extended our outreach by dispatching more than 350 certification letters to newly identified dental offices; and WHEREAS, Chairman Wanke has demonstrated support for OC San's Supercritical Water Oxidation Project by seeking funding assistance through the Orange County Congressional Delegation. OC San has been honored with federal funding amounting to $3.45 million through the federally run Community Partnering Program; and WHEREAS, with his guidance, the Headworks Rehabilitation Project, which is anticipated to take seven years to complete and is valued at $222.3 million, represents a paradigm shift in efficiency, a reduction in potential odorous concerns, and an enhancement in overall reliability. OC SAN 24-05-1 WHEREAS, Mr. Wanke has provided leadership and guidance for the construction and completion of the new OC San Headquarters. The 109,000 square foot building will consolidate over 300 administrative staff and provide a new educational display showcasing OC San's resource recovery efforts for our visitors; and WHEREAS, with his foresight, Chairman Wanke supported OC San conducting a rate study to determine customers' fair and equitable share of collection, treatment, and disposal costs. The previous rate structure expired in June 2022 and to support ongoing operations, maintenance, and necessary improvements, the OC San Board of Directors approved a new five-year sewer service fee rate structure for FY 2023 - 2028 in March 2023; and WHEREAS, Chad Wanke has demonstrated his determination, vision, and leadership to OC San and its ratepayers through the commitment of his time, professionalism, and devotion to the residents and businesses of Orange County.
