ENGINEERING PROGRAM CONTRACT PERFORMANCE REPORT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the Engineering Program Contract Performance Report for the period ending March
31, 2025; and for the period ending December 31, 2024.
BACKGROUND
The Engineering Program involves awarding and managing multiple construction and consulting
contracts.In 2008,the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)Board of Directors began
authorizing contingencies along with construction and consulting contracts,allowing the General
Manager to approve construction change orders and amendments to consulting contracts up to the
amount of the authorized 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 March 31,2025.This report is updated
quarterly and includes a summary of the General Manager approved contract contingencies among
other key performance indicators.

Cumulative Change Order Rates
When the OC San Board of Directors awards a construction contract, they also approve
a contingency which allows the General Manager to approve contract change orders up
to the amount of the contingency. 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, this report's change order performance charts 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 over the past 15 years.

PART 2 – ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS
Professional Design and Related Service Agreements
OC San engages engineering consultants through Professional Service Agreements
(PSAs), Professional Design Services Agreements (PDSAs), and Professional
Construction Services Agreements (PCSAs). 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 50 Professional Design and Related
Service Agreements (26 individual firms) with total agreement amount of $293,161,368.
Table 7 in the appendix provides a detailed list of Professional Design and Related
Service Agreements.
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. The Master Agreements are listed
below.
• 2017 Master Agreements for Planning Studies (expired)
• 2018 Master Professional Design Services Agreements (expired)
• 2020 Master Agreements for On-Call Planning Studies (expired)

PART 3 – MASTER BUDGET PROJECTS
The Board-adopted budget for Fiscal Years 2022-23 and 2023-24 includes master
program budgets that allow staff to initiate, execute, and manage smaller projects that fit
within the scope of a particular program more quickly. The projects chartered under these
program budgets are referred to as sub-projects and are managed to the same standards
as projects specifically listed in the adopted budget. A status table for each of these
programs listing the sub-projects is attached in the appendix. These projects include
Planning Studies (PS), Research (RE), Facility Engineering (FE), Maintenance (MP), and
Small Capital (SC) and Information Technology (IT).

PART 4 – SUPPLEMENTAL ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT
In April of 2022, the OC San Board of Directors approved two Professional Service
Agreements - one with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. and one with Jacobs Project
Management Co. - to provide Supplemental Engineering Services for a three-year period
commencing May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2025, with two one-year renewal options.
The Board approved the agreements for an amount not to exceed $29,700,000 per
individual agreement.
The benefits of using a supplemental engineering services contract, as opposed to hiring
full-time staff or limited-term employees, include rapid mobilization of highly
skilled/technical staff, flexibility to change the mix of staff positions on an immediate and
as-needed basis, the ability to reduce staff as workloads decrease, access to technical
experts to support special tasks, and access to staff with wastewater project experience.

Cumulative Change Order Rates
When the OC San Board of Directors awards a construction contract, they also approve
a contingency which allows the General Manager to approve contract change orders up
to the amount of the contingency. 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, this report's change order performance charts 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 over the past 15 years.

PART 2 – ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS
Professional Design and Related Service Agreements
OC San engages engineering consultants through Professional Service Agreements
(PSAs), Professional Design Services Agreements (PDSAs), and Professional
Construction Services Agreements (PCSAs). 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 50 Professional Design and Related
Service Agreements (26 individual firms) with total agreement amount of $233,456,511.
Table 7 in the appendix provides a detailed list of Professional Design and Related
Service Agreements.
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. The Master Agreements are listed
below.
• 2017 Master Agreements for Planning Studies (expired)

PART 3 – MASTER BUDGET PROJECTS
The Board-adopted budget for Fiscal Years 2022-23 and 2023-24 includes master
program budgets that allow staff to initiate, execute, and manage smaller projects that fit
within the scope of a particular program more quickly. The projects chartered under these
program budgets are referred to as sub-projects and are managed to the same standards
as projects specifically listed in the adopted budget. A status table for each of these
programs listing the sub-projects is attached in the appendix. These projects include
Planning Studies (PS), Research (RE), Facility Engineering (FE), Maintenance (MP), and
Small Capital (SC) and Information Technology (IT).

FROM:Robert Thompson, General Manager
Originator: Mike Dorman, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT:
SANTA ANA TRUNK SEWER REHABILITATION, PROJECT NO. 1-23
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR)for the installation and
operation of a temporary,above grade,bypass pipe in the UPRR right-of-way during the construction
of Santa Ana Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation,Project No.1-23,in the amount of $373,770,in a form
approved by General Counsel.
BACKGROUND
The Santa Ana Trunk carries sewage from the southern portion of the cities of Santa Ana and Costa
Mesa to Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)Plant No.1.This sewer was originally
constructed in the early 1950s and consists of unlined 42-inch and 48-inch diameter reinforced
concrete pipes.Over the past 60 years,several projects have replaced or rehabilitated small
portions of the sewer and rehabilitated most of the manholes.
The project area for the Santa Ana Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation is located on Alton Avenue heading
west from Bristol Street then diagonally through easements in a light industrial/commercial area
toward Plant No. 1. There is an UPRR right-of-way that runs parallel to Alton Avenue.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Protect OC San assets
·Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators,stakeholders,and
neighboring communities
·Maintain a culture of improving efficiency to reduce the cost to provide the current services
level or standard
PROBLEM
To facilitate the required rehabilitation work,sewer flows along Alton Avenue must be bypassed.In
addition,several flows originating north of the UPRR tracks need to be intercepted and rerouted
around the bypassed section.The only viable route for this bypass piping is through the UPRR right-Orange County Sanitation District Printed on 6/18/2025Page 1 of 3

around the bypassed section.The only viable route for this bypass piping is through the UPRR right-
of-way. UPRR requires an agreement to allow OC San use of their right-of-way for the bypass.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve an agreement with the UPRR to allow OC San to install the needed temporary,above grade
bypass pipe in the UPRR right-of-way.This agreement,including the terms,location,and the costs,
has been negotiated by staff to meet the needs of the Santa Ana Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation Project
and safety requirements of the UPRR.
TIMING CONCERNS
UPRR requires the agreement to be fully executed,including payment,by September 26,2025.The
construction project is scheduled to begin in January 2026.Installing the bypass line in the UPRR
right-of-way is required before the contractor can begin the repair work on the trunk line.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Without this agreement,bypassing of sewer flows around the UPRR right-of-way would not be
possible and therefore the rehabilitation of the Santa Ana Trunk Sewer would be considerably more
expensive and cause more community impacts.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
April 2022 -Approved a Professional Design Services Agreement with Stantec Consulting Services,
Inc.to provide engineering services for Santa Ana Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation,Project No.1-23,for
an amount not to exceed $3,880,000; and approved a contingency of $388,000 (10%).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
N/A
CEQA
The project is exempt from CEQA under Class 1,2,and 3 categorical exemptions set forth in
California Code of Regulations Sections 15301,15302,and 15303.A Notice of Exemption will be
filed with the OC Clerk-Recorder after OC San 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 (Budget FY 2024-25 and 2025-26,Section 8,Page 15,Santa Ana Trunk Sewer
Rehabilitation, Project No. 1-23) and the budget is sufficient for the recommended action.

or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely done at any time or times by Licensor without liability to Licensee or to any other party for compensation or damages. B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (including those in favor of licensees and lessees of Railroad Property) and the right of Licensor to renew and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment. It shall be Licensee's sole obligation to obtain such additional permission, license and grants necessary on account of any such existing rights. Section 2. ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS.
A. Licensee's Facilities will be designed, constructed, operated, maintained, repaired, renewed, modified, reconstructed, removed, or abandoned in place on Railroad Property by Licensee or its contractor to Licensor's satisfaction and in strict conformity with: (i) Licensor’s current
engineering standards and specifications, including those for shoring and cribbing to protect Licensor's railroad operations and facilities ("UP Specifications"), except for variances approved in advance in writing by Licensor’s Assistant Vice President Engineering – Design or its authorized representative
("UP Engineering Representative"); (ii) such other additional safety standards as Licensor, in its sole discretion, elects to require, including, without limitation, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association ("AREMA") standards and guidelines (collectively, "UP Additional Requirements"); and (iii) all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including any applicable Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulations and enactments (collectively, "Laws"). If there is any conflict between UP Specifications, UP Additional Requirements,
and Laws, the most restrictive will apply. B. Licensee shall keep the soil over Licensee's Facilities thoroughly compacted, and maintain the grade over and around Licensee's Facilities even with the surface of the adjacent ground.
C. If needed, Licensee shall secure, at Licensee's sole cost and expense, any and all necessary permits required to perform any work on Licensee's Facilities.
Section 3. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES. A. Licensee and its contractors are strictly prohibited from commencing any work
associated with Licensee's Facilities without Licensor's written approval that the work will be in strict compliance with the "ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS" Section of this Exhibit B. Upon Licensor's approval, Licensee shall contact both of Licensor's field representatives ("Licensor's Field
Representatives") at least ten (10) days before commencement of any work on Licensee's Facilities. B. Licensee shall not commence any work until: (1) Licensor has determined whether flagging or other special protective or safety measures ("Safety Measures") are required for performance of the work pursuant to the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B and provided Licensee written
Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340
authorization to commence work; and (2) Licensee has complied with the "PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS" Section of this Exhibit B.
C. If, at any time, an emergency arises involving Licensee's Facilities, Licensee or its contractor shall immediately contact Licensor's Response Management Communications Center at (888) 877-7267. Section 4. FLAGGING. A. Following Licensee's notice to Licensor's Field Representatives required under the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor shall inform Licensee if Safety Measures are required for performance of the work by Licensee or its contractor on Railroad Property. If Safety Measures are required, no work of any kind may be performed
by Licensee or its contractor(s) until arrangements for the Safety Measures have been made and scheduled. If no Safety Measures are required, Licensor will give Licensee written authorization to commence work.
B. If any Safety Measures are performed or provided by Licensor, including but not limited to flagging, Licensor shall bill Licensee for such expenses incurred by Licensor, unless Licensor
and a federal, state, or local governmental entity have agreed that Licensor is to bill such expenses to the federal, state, or local governmental entity. Additional information regarding the submission of such expenses by Licensor and payment thereof by Licensee can be found in the "LICENSEE’S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B. If Licensor performs any Safety Measures, Licensee agrees that Licensee is not relieved of any of responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement. C. For flagging, the rate of pay per hour for each flagger will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental
pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage, and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and
Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Licensor and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are
also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Licensee (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. D. Reimbursement to Licensor will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagger is furnished, unless the flagger can be assigned to other railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagger is engaged in other railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flaggers following the flaggers' assignment to work on the project for which Licensor is required to pay the flaggers and which could not reasonably be avoided by Licensor by assignment of such flaggers to other work, even though Licensee may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Licensor to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in
compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Licensee must provide Licensor a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagger. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Licensee will still be required to pay flagging charges for the days the flagger was
scheduled, even though flagging is no longer required for that period. An additional ten (10) days notice must then be given to Licensor if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Licensor.

Section 5. SAFETY.
A. Safety of personnel, property, rail operations and the public is of paramount importance in the prosecution of any work on Railroad Property performed by Licensee or its contractor, and takes precedence over any work on Licensee's Facilities to be performed Licensee or its contractors. Licensee shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety operations and programs in connection with any work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee and its contractor shall, at a minimum comply, with Licensor's then current safety standards located at the below web address ("Licensor's Safety Standards") to ensure uniformity with the safety standards followed by Licensor's own forces. As a part of Licensee's safety responsibilities, Licensee shall notify Licensor if it determines that any of Licensor's Safety Standards are contrary to good safety practices. Licensee and its contractor shall furnish copies of Licensor's Safety Standards to each of its employees before they enter Railroad Property.
Union Pacific Current Safety Requirements B. Licensee shall keep the job site on Railroad Property free from safety and health hazards and ensure that their employees are competent and adequately trained in all safety and health aspects of the work.
C. Licensee represents and warrants that all parts of Licensee's Facilities within and outside of the limits of Railroad Property will not interfere whatsoever with the constant, continuous, and uninterrupted use of the tracks, property, and facilities of Licensor, and nothing shall be done or suffered to be done by Licensee at any time that would in any manner impair the safety thereof.
D. Licensor's operations and work performed by Licensor’s personnel may cause delays in Licensee's or its contractor's work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee accepts this risk and agrees that Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee or any other person or entity for any such delays. Licensee must coordinate any work on Railroad Property by Licensee or any third party with Licensor's Field Representatives in strict compliance with the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit E. Licensor shall have the right, if it so elects, to provide any support it deems necessary
for the safety of Licensor's operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation, reconstruction, or removal of Licensee's Facilities. In the event Licensor provides such support, Licensor shall invoice Licensee, and Licensee
shall pay Licensor as set forth in the "LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B. F. Licensee may use unmanned aircraft systems ("UAS") to inspect Licensee's Facilities only upon the prior authorization from and under the direction of Licensor's Field Representatives. Licensee represents and warrants that its use of UAS on Railroad Property will comply with Licensor's
then-current Unmanned Aerial Systems Policy and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including any applicable Federal Aviation Administration regulations and enactments pertaining to UAS. Section 6. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on Railroad Property. Protection of the fiber optic cable systems is of extreme importance since any break could disrupt service to users resulting in business interruption and loss of revenue and profits. In addition to the notifications required under the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensee shall complete the required form at up.com/CBUD to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad Property to be used by Licensee. If it is, Licensee shall telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, and arrange for a cable locator, make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable, all at Licensee’s expense, and will not commence any work on
Railroad Property until all such protection or relocation has been completed.
Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340
Section 7. LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. A. Licensee shall bear the entire cost and expense of the design, construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities. B. Licensee shall fully pay for all materials joined, affixed to and labor performed on Railroad Property in connection with the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, and shall not permit or suffer any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien of any kind or nature to be enforced against the property for any work done or materials furnished thereon at the instance or request or on behalf of Licensee. Licensee shall promptly pay or discharge all taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon, in respect to, or on
account of Licensee's Facilities, to prevent the same from becoming a charge or lien upon any property of Licensor, and so that the taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon or in respect to such property shall not be increased because of the location, construction, or maintenance of Licensee's Facilities or
any improvement, appliance, or fixture connected therewith placed upon such property, or on account of Licensee’s interest therein. Where such tax, charge, or assessment may not be separately made or assessed to Licensee but shall be included in the assessment of the property of Licensor, then Licensee
shall pay to Licensor an equitable proportion of such taxes determined by the value of Licensee’s property upon property of Licensor as compared with the entire value of such property. C. As set forth in the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor shall have the right, if it so elects, to provide any Safety Measures Licensor deems necessary for the safety of Licensor's operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, including, but not limited to supervision, inspection, and flagging services. In the event Licensor provides such Safety Measures, Licensor shall submit an itemized invoice to Licensee's notice recipient listed in the "NOTICES" Article of this Agreement. Licensee shall pay to Licensor the total amount listed on such invoice within thirty (30) days of Licensee's receipt of such invoice. Section 8. MODIFICATIONS TO LICENSEE'S FACILITIES.
A. This grant is subject to Licensor's safe and efficient operation of its railroad, and continued use and improvement of Railroad Property (collectively, "Railroad's Use"). Accordingly, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, modify, reconstruct, repair, renew, revise, relocate, or
remove (individually, "Modification", or collectively, "Modifications") all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities as Licensor may designate or identify, in its sole discretion, in the furtherance of Railroad's Use.
B. Upon any Modification of all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities to another location on Railroad Property, Licensor and Licensee shall execute a Supplemental Agreement to this Pipeline Agreement to document the Modification(s) to Licensee's Facilities on Railroad Property. If the Modifications result in Licensee's Facilities moving off of Railroad Property, this Agreement will terminate upon Licensee's completion of such Modification(s) and all requirements contained within the "TERMINATION; REMOVAL OF LICENSEE’S FACILITIES" Section of this Exhibit B. Any such Modification(s) off of Railroad Property will not release Licensee from any liability or other obligation of Licensee arising prior to and upon completion of any such Modifications to the Licensee's Facilities. Section 9. RESTORATION OF RAILROAD PROPERTY. In the event Licensee, in any manner moves or disturbs any property of Licensor in connection
with the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, then, Licensee shall, as soon as possible and at Licensee’s sole cost
Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340
and expense, restore Licensor’s property to the same condition as the same were before such property was moved or disturbed.

SUBJECT:
ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT NO. J-98
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Receive and file Bid Tabulation and Recommendation for Electrical Power Distribution System
Improvements, Project No. J-98;
B. Award a Construction Contract Agreement to Shimmick Construction Company, Inc., for
Electrical Power Distribution System Improvements, Project No. J-98, for a total amount not to
exceed $ 24,352,127; and
C. Approve a contingency of $2,435,213 (10%).
BACKGROUND
The electrical distribution systems at Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)Plant Nos.1 and 2
supply power to all plant facilities and consist of distribution centers,power buildings,and electrical
rooms throughout both plants.These facilities use switchgear and automatic transfer switches to
distribute power from three different generation sources,Southern California Edison (SCE),Central
Generation Facility (CenGen), and standby generators.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Comply with California Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, award construction contract to
lowest responsive, responsible bidder
·24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
·Protect OC San assets
PROBLEM
During an SCE power outage at Plant No.1,CenGen is not capable of powering the entire plant,
resulting in CenGen shutting down and select critical loads being automatically powered by standby
generators.The remaining loads required for wastewater treatment will not be powered until the
central generation facility is restarted,and electrical maintenance is called out to reconfigure the
electrical system.In addition,there is a high arc flash potential at a number of electrical switchgearOrange County Sanitation District Printed on 6/18/2025Page 1 of 4

electrical system.In addition,there is a high arc flash potential at a number of electrical switchgear
lineups throughout Plant No. 1.
At Plant No.2,the plant power monitoring and control system and arc flash mitigation system were
not extended to Distribution Center A and Power Building B due to anticipated demolition at the time
of design.The Power Building B 12kV-480V transformers have reached the end of their useful life.
The Power Building D generator,automatic transfer switch,and 12kV-480V transformer have
reached the end of their useful life.Headworks and Effluent Pump Station Annex (EPSA)standby
generator systems do not have connections to easily load test the generators or a grounding system
that meets the latest industry standards.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award a construction contract agreement to implement a load shedding system and arc flash
mitigation system at Plant No.1 (similar to Project No.J-117B at Plant No.2);extend the plant power
monitoring and controls system and arc flash mitigation system to Distribution Center A and Power
Building B;replace aged transformers at Power Building B;refeed Power Building D from Distribution
Center F;and add portable load bank connections and grounding system improvements at the
Headworks and EPSA standby generation facilities.
TIMING CONCERNS
If the project is delayed,the electrical distribution system may suffer from reduced safety,reduced
reliability,increased maintenance costs,and unexpected process facility outages with increased
potential for spills.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Numerous small and large projects would need to be initiated to install,replace,and upgrade the
various protective relays,breakers,conductors,and grounding systems.At Plant No.1,the electrical
distribution system would continue to have a more time-consuming restoration of power during a loss
of SCE power.

Shimmick Construction Company, Inc.$ 24,352,127
Helix Electric, Inc.$ 25,700,000
LEED Electric, Inc.$ 27,654,892
Mass Electric Construction Company $ 36,203,000
The bids were evaluated in accordance with the OC San’s policies and procedures.A notice was
sent to all bidders on April 24,2025,informing them of the intent of OC San staff to recommend
award of the Construction Contract Agreement to Shimmick Construction Company, Inc.
OC San received bids from multiple Contractors,three within similar range and all higher than the
Engineer’s Estimate.This indicates that the Engineer’s Estimate was significantly lower than the
actual project cost.
Given the cost difference,OC San issued a clarification request to Shimmick Construction Company,
Inc.asking to provide general cost estimates for the work related to site,civil,electrical,
instrumentation,and general conditions to closely compare the information against the Engineer’s
Estimate and understand the areas where the gaps between the amounts were.
Shimmick Construction Company,Inc.bid cost was higher than the Engineer’s Estimate in the
following areas:1)site and civil (153%higher);2)Engineer’s Estimate did not include costs for
temporary power and shutdowns,and underestimated commissioning costs (90%higher);3)
Engineer’s Estimate did not account for the extensive engineering for shop drawing,field verification,
and commissioning for the switchgear modifications (84%higher);4)the equipment cost escalation
outpaced the cost index rates used in the Engineer’s Estimate for the 2021 and 2023 equipment
quotes (44% higher); and 5) General Conditions (77% higher).
Based on the three lowest bids and the cost factors identified during the bid review,staff believe the
difference between the Engineer’s Estimate and Shimmick Construction Company,Inc.’s price is
accounted for and reasonable.
Staff recommends awarding a Construction Contract Agreement to the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder,Shimmick Construction Company,Inc.,for a total amount not to exceed $
24,352,127.
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 has been filed with the OC Clerk-
Recorder.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with the authority levels of OC San’s Purchasing Ordinance.This item has
been budgeted (Budget FY 2024-25 and 2025-26,Section 8,Page 48,Electrical Power Distribution
System Improvements,Project No.J-98)and an increase to the project budget is being requested as
part of the annual budget update.The award of this contract will be contingent upon approval of the

its agents, representatives, employees, or Subcontractors, in amounts equal to the
requirements set forth below. CONTRACTOR shall not commence Work under this Contract

Conditions, “Final Acceptance and Final Completion”. Furthermore, CONTRACTOR shall
maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverages in full force and effect throughout the warranty

necessary for the complete performance of the Work. To the extent there is a conflict between
the Third Parties’ insurance requirements and those set forth by OC SAN herein, the
requirement(s) providing the more protective coverage for both OC SAN and the Third Parties
shall control and be purchased and maintained by CONTRACTOR.
If CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown in this Section, OC SAN
requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the
CONTRACTOR.

because of deductible clauses, inadequacy of limits of any insurance policy, limitations or
exclusions of coverage, or any other reason against OC SAN, its or their officers, agents, or
employees, performing Work or rendering services on behalf of OC SAN in connection with the
planning, development and construction of the Project. In all its insurance coverages (except for

CONTRACTOR shall include clauses providing that each insurer shall waive all of its rights of
recovery by subrogation against OC SAN, its or their officers, agents, or employees, performing

tier. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to any individual or entity, even if such
individual or entity (a) would otherwise have a duty of indemnification, contractual or otherwise,
(b) did not pay the insurance premium, directly or indirectly, and (c) whether or not such
individual or entity has an insurable interest in the property damaged.

B. Substitution of Securities:
CONTRACTOR may, at its sole expense, substitute securities as provided in
General Conditions – “Retained Funds; Substitution of Securities.” Payment of Escrow Agent:
In lieu of substitution of securities as provided above, the CONTRACTOR may request and OC SAN shall make payment of retention earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the CONTRACTOR. At the expense of the
CONTRACTOR, the CONTRACTOR may direct the investment of the payments into securities consistent with Government Code §16430 and the CONTRACTOR shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the
same terms provided for in this article for securities deposited by the CONTRACTOR. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, the CONTRACTOR shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest and payments received by the escrow agent from OC SAN, pursuant to the terms of this article. The CONTRACTOR shall pay to each Subcontractor, not later than twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the payment, the respective amount of interest earned, net of costs attributed to retention withheld from each Subcontractor, on the amount of retention withheld to ensure the performance
of the Subcontractor. The escrow agreement used by the escrow agent pursuant to this article shall be substantially similar to the form set forth in §22300 of the California Public Contract Code.

4. Other sums that OC SAN is entitled to recover from the CONTRACTOR under the terms of the Contract, including without limitation insurance deductibles and assessments.
CONFORMED C-EXA-062221 PROJECT NO. J-98 ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS Page 3 of 8
The failure of OC SAN to deduct any of the above-identified sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of OC SAN’s right to such sums
or to deduct them from a later progress payment. EXA-4 STOP PAYMENT NOTICE
In addition to other amounts properly withheld under this article or under other provisions of the Contract, OC SAN shall retain from progress payments otherwise due the CONTRACTOR an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the amount claimed under any stop payment notice under Civil Code §9350 et. seq. or other lien filed against the CONTRACTOR for labor, materials, supplies, equipment, and any other thing of value claimed to
have been furnished to and/or incorporated into the Work; or for any other alleged contribution thereto. In addition to the foregoing and in accordance with Civil Code §9358 OC SAN may also satisfy its duty to withhold funds for stop payment notices by refusing to release funds held in escrow pursuant to public receipt of a release of stop payment notice executed by a stop payment notice claimant, a stop payment notice release bond, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or other evidence satisfactory to OC SAN that the CONTRACTOR has resolved such claim by settlement.

22. INDEMNIFICATION To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend (at CONSULTANT’s sole cost and expense and with legal counsel approved by OC SAN, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), protect and hold harmless OC SAN and all of OC SAN’s officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities,
causes of action, suits, arbitration awards, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses including without limitation, attorneys’ fees, disbursements and court costs, and all other professional, expert or consultants fees and costs and OC SAN’s general
and administrative expenses (individually, a “Claim”, or collectively, “Claims”) which may arise from or are in any manner related, directly or indirectly, to any work performed, or any operations, activities, or services provided by CONSULTANT in carrying out its
obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the negligent, recklessness and/or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents, employees,
PCSA PROJECT NO. J-98
Revised 030525 ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Page 17 of 20
CONSULTANT’s suppliers, consultants, subconsultants, subcontractors, and/or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them, regardless of any contributing negligence
or strict liability of an Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require CONSULTANT to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from:
(A) the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or
(B) a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or (C) the independent action of a third party who is neither one of the Indemnified Parties
nor the CONSULTANT, nor its principal, officer, agent, employee, nor CONSULTANT’s supplier, consultant, subconsultant, subcontractor, nor anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them. Exceptions (A) through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from Claims arising from more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would otherwise result in the obligation to indemnify hereunder.
CONSULTANT’s liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any liability CONSULTANT may have to OC SAN for a breach by CONSULTANT of any of the
provisions of this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit CONSULTANT’s indemnification obligation or other liability hereunder.
The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the parties hereto. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without
limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. 23. DUTY TO DEFEND The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code Section 2782.8. Such defense obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then OC SAN will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending the Indemnified Parties against such claims. Additionally, in no event shall the cost to defend charged to CONSULTANT exceed CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault.
PCSA PROJECT NO. J-98
Revised 030525 ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Page 18 of 20
CONSULTANT’s indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations. 24. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE The CONSULTANT’s performance shall be evaluated by OC SAN. A copy of the
evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by OC SAN and may be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes.
25. COMPLIANCE WITH OC SAN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONSULTANT shall comply with all OC SAN policies and procedures, including, but not limited to, the Contractor Safety Standards, as applicable, and Human Resources Policies, all as may be amended from time to time. 26. CLOSEOUT
When OC SAN determines that all work authorized under the Agreement is fully complete and that OC SAN requires no further work from CONSULTANT, or the
Agreement is otherwise terminated or expires in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, OC SAN shall give the Consultant written notice that the Agreement will be closed out. CONSULTANT shall submit all outstanding billings, work submittals,
deliverables, reports or similarly related documents as required under the Agreement within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of Agreement closeout.
Upon receipt of CONSULTANT’s submittals, OC SAN shall commence a closeout audit of the Agreement and will either:
i. Give the CONSULTANT a final Agreement Acceptance: or ii. Advise the CONSULTANT in writing of any outstanding item or items which must be
furnished, completed, or corrected at the CONSULTANT’s cost. CONSULTANT shall be required to provide adequate resources to fully support any administrative closeout efforts identified in this Agreement. Such support must be provided within the timeframe requested by OC SAN. Notwithstanding the final Agreement Acceptance the CONSULTANT will not be relieved of its obligations hereunder, nor will the CONSULTANT be relieved of its obligations to
complete any portions of the work, the non-completion of which were not disclosed to OC SAN (regardless of whether such nondisclosures were fraudulent, negligent, or otherwise); and the CONSULTANT shall remain obligated under all those provisions of
the Agreement which expressly or by their nature extend beyond and survive final Agreement Acceptance.
PCSA PROJECT NO. J-98
Revised 030525 ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Page 19 of 20
Any failure by OC SAN to reject the work or to reject the CONSULTANT’s request for final Agreement Acceptance as set forth above shall not be deemed to be acceptance of
the work by OC SAN for any purpose nor imply acceptance of, or agreement with, the CONSULTANT’s request for final Agreement Acceptance. 27. CONSULTANT’S OPINION OF COSTS: OC SAN acknowledges that construction estimates, financial analyses and feasibility projections are subject to many influences including, but not limited to, price of labor and materials, unknown or latent conditions of
existing equipment or structures, and time or quality of performance by third parties. OC SAN acknowledges that such influences may not be precisely forecasted and are beyond the control of CONSULTANT and that actual costs incurred may vary
substantially from the estimates prepared by CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of construction or development cost estimates. 28. ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties and supersedes all previous negotiations between them pertaining to the subject matter thereof.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No.OC SAN 25-03,entitled:“A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange
County Sanitation District Establishing the Annual Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26 for the
Orange County Sanitation District in Accordance with the Provisions of Division 9 of Title 1 of the
California Government Code”.
BACKGROUND
This routine annual action adopts a resolution establishing the spending limit for “proceeds of taxes”
in accordance with Article XIII B of the Constitution of the State of California (Section 7910 of the
Government Code).The Orange County Sanitation District’s (OC San)annual appropriations are
well below the limit.
In 1979,Proposition 4 (the Gann Initiative)was approved,adding Article XIII B to the State
Constitution.The provisions of this article place limits on the amount of revenue that can be
appropriated by all entities of government.This initiative was designed to constrain government
expenditures by placing an annual limit on jurisdictions'revenue and appropriation growth.The
Appropriations Limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-1979 fiscal year,as increased
each year using specified population and inflationary growth factors.This annual growth allowance is
linked to changes in population and cost of living.The passage of Proposition 111 in June 1990
amended Article XIII B,making changes in the base year upon which the Appropriations Limit is
based,establishing new cost of living factors and new population factors for use by local
governments,and increasing appropriations not subject to the limit (primarily qualified capital outlay
projects).The financial constraints of Article XIII B apply to the State,all cities,counties,special
districts, and all other political subdivisions.

County Sanitation District Establishing Use Charges for the 2025-26 Fiscal Year Pursuant to the
Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Agreement with the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority
(“SAWPA”)”.
BACKGROUND
Currently,the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)invoices SAWPA on a quarterly basis for
the wastewater discharge received from the Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI)line.Annually,the
rates for flow,BOD,and TSS are calculated based upon the fiscal year budget for treatment and
disposal costs and the 1996 Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Agreement.The rates calculated
for each constituent for FY 2025-26 for wastewater discharge are:
FLOW $307.66 per million gallons of flow
BOD $414.76 per thousand pounds
TSS $520.39 per thousand pounds
The FY 2025-26 rates are an average 4.8 percent increase from the FY 2024-25 rates due to an
increase in the treatment and disposal costs in the proposed FY 2025-26 Budget.These rates are
separate from the rates charged for additional capacity purchases by SAWPA.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Comply with OC San Policy - Establishing Annual SAWPA Treatment and Disposal Rates
·Support of 1996 Treatment and Disposal Agreement with SAWPA
TIMING CONCERNS
Rates should be effective July 1, 2025 (FY 2025-26).

SUBJECT:
ORANGE COUNTY WASTE AND RECYCLING WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT,AMENDMENT
NO. 2
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No.2 of the OC Waste and Recycling Waste Disposal Agreement,extending
the initial term of the Agreement from June 30,2025 to June 30,2026,for a total amount not to
exceed $748,000 which includes the unit price per ton for solid waste disposal and the associated
escalation costs.
BACKGROUND
Since 2013,OC Waste and Recycling (OCWR)has been providing Orange County Sanitation District
(OC San)with a low-cost,in-county option to properly dispose up to 50 tons per day (tpd)of solid
waste generated from the grit,screenings,and drying beds from both Plant Nos.1 and 2,which is
currently transported to the Frank Bowerman Landfill (Bowerman)located in the city of Irvine.In
addition,OCWR provides a fail-safe option for the potential disposal of biosolids at the Prima
Deshecha Landfill (Prima)located in the city of San Juan Capistrano when OC San’s biosolids
cannot be beneficially used.
OCWR proposes a one-year extension of the existing Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA)from June
30,2025 to June 30,2026.As part of the extension,the landfill disposal fee will increase by 2.6%,
from $42.65 to $43.76 per ton,in accordance with the escalation formula in the current WDA.This
extension allows continued access to OCWR’s landfill services under existing terms while
negotiations continue with a long-term successor agreement.
OCWR recently sent the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)a proposed amendment to the
WDA.The extension will enable OC San to fully assess future cost impacts,infrastructure needs,
and regulatory requirements associated with OCWR’s proposal.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Maintain and adhere to appropriate internal planning documents (2023 Strategic Plan, 2017
Biosolids Master Plan, etc.)
Orange County Sanitation District Printed on 6/18/2025Page 1 of 3

·Sustain 1, 5, 20-year planning horizons
·Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and
neighboring communities
·Maintain a culture of improving efficiency to reduce the cost to provide the current service level
or standard
PROBLEM
OC San’s current WDA with OCWR is expiring on June 30,2025,and an amended agreement is
needed to routinely haul solid waste (grit,screenings,drying bed materials and/or any biosolids that
cannot be beneficially used) to the various in-county landfills.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve Amendment No.2 of the WDA extending the initial term of the Agreement from June 30,
2025, to June 30, 2026.
TIMING CONCERNS
OC San will need the WDA executed and processed before the June 30,2025 expiration date to
ensure there is no lapse with the current agreement.

If the amendment is not approved,OC San may not have a way to dispose of the solid waste (grit,
screenings,drying bed materials,etc.)produced at Plant Nos.1 and 2.While alternative options may
include transporting and disposing of the waste at landfills in other counties/states,this would pose
logistical challenges and significant cost increases.Furthermore,in the event that disposal services
are not available,screening and grit waste would back up and foul OC San’s treatment systems.
Onsite long-term storage of this waste would present a public health risk.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
June 2015 -Approved Amendment No.1 of the OC Waste Recycling Waste Disposal Agreement,
extending the initial term of the Agreement from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2025.
November 2012 -Approved a Waste Disposal Agreement with the County of Orange (Orange County
Waste and Recycling)for the County to receive and dispose of the Orange County Sanitation
District’s biosolids at the Prima Deshecha Landfill,subject to available capacity,for the period
commencing on December 1,2012 through June 30,2020,with a renewal option of 10-years in a
total annual amount not to exceed $3,605,288.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT (“Second Amendment”) is made
and dated as of the date indicated on the cover page hereof between the County of Orange, a political
subdivision of the State of California (the “County”), and the Orange County Sanitation District, a county
sanitation district duly existing under the laws of the State of California (the “District”). County and District
may be referred to as “Party” individually or “Parties” when referred to jointly.
RECITALS
The County owns, manages, and operates a Waste Infrastructure System to manage municipal and
solid waste generated within Orange County, California or imported from outside Orange County, California
pursuant to contractual agreements (hereafter used referred to as “Disposal System” or “Waste Infrastructure
System”). The Waste Infrastructure System collectively includes active Class III sanitary landfills (“County
Landfills”), resource recovery, recycling and organics programs, infrastructure and operations, and regional
household hazardous waste collection centers and other waste management related systems as may be
deemed necessary by the County.
The County is also responsible for the long-term management of 20 closed landfills as required under
Applicable Law.
County Landfills are used for the management of municipal solid waste pursuant to legislation
including, but not limited to, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Division 30 of the
California Public Resources Code) (the “Act”) and the Short-lived Climate Pollutants Reduction Act (“SB
1383”). County Landfills are also subject to other state and federal regulations designed to ensure that landfill
operations minimize the impacts to public health and safety and the environment.
District and County entered into a Waste Disposal Agreement (“WDA”) dated January 8, 2013 (“2013
Waste Disposal Agreement”) wherein the County agreed to receive and dispose of the District’s biosolids at
County landfills, subject to available capacity, through June 30, 2020 at a base rate of 110% of the rate payable
by Participating Cities under City Waste Disposal Agreements, subject to CPI adjustments. Thereafter on June
24, 2015 the Parties entered into the First Amendment of the 2013 Waste Disposal Agreement (“First
Amendment” or “Current WDA”) extending the term of the agreement through June 30, 2025.
The County has similar WDAs with cities and sanitary districts throughout Orange County (“City
WDAs”), which are also expiring on June 30, 2025. The Orange County City Manager Association (“OCCMA”)
is currently negotiating with the County updated rates and terms on a new WDA. The OCCMA has requested,
and the County has agreed to, a one-year extension to allow time to complete negotiations.
The terms of District’s WDA are closely tied to the terms that will be negotiated with the Cities and
sanitary districts. Therefore, the Parties seek to extend the term of the Current WDA for one year to allow
the County additional time to negotiate mutually agreeable terms with OCCMA for a new WDA, and obtain
approval from their respective governing bodies.
The Parties have determined that the execution this Second Amendment will serve the public health,
safety, and welfare by continuing to provide a stable, predictable solid waste services to District, and reliable
supply of municipal solid waste to the Disposal System.

Official action approving this Second Amendment and determining it to be in the public interest and
authorizing its execution and delivery was duly taken by the County on the County authorization date
indicated on the cover page hereof.

SUBJECT:
PUBLIC AFFAIRS UPDATE FOR THE MONTH OF MAY 2025
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the Public Affairs Update for the month of May 2025.
BACKGROUND
Included in this report are recent activities of interest,managed by the Public Affairs Office for the
month of May 2025.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program
·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 a distinguished entity in the water/wastewater
industry.Despite our industry recognition,there may be limited awareness among our customers
regarding the pivotal role we play in protecting public health and the environment.The absence of
direct communication through a billing method may contribute to this gap in knowledge.
It is our responsibility to ensure that our ratepayers comprehend the vital services we provide.Many
customers may not realize that improper waste disposal into the sanitation system can adversely
impact our sewer lines,reclamation plants,and the quality of water supplied through GWRS.By
enhancing communication channels and fostering understanding,we aim to bridge the gap and
empower our ratepayers with the knowledge needed to support and appreciate the essential work we
undertake for the well-being of our community and the environment.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
By providing tours,community outreach,education,and general communication via OC San’s
website,social media,and direct mailings,we can share information with 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 and the knowledge and understanding of
wastewater treatment.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Neglecting to inform the community,local agencies,and area businesses about OC San could lead
to insufficient support for our mission, hindering our ability to fulfill our responsibilities effectively.

TO: Rebecca Long FROM: Eric Sapirstein DATE: May 22, 2025 SUBJECT: May Washington Update
Since the last federal update, Congress has continued to target development of a �inal budget reconciliation with implications for federal program spending over the next ten years. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) continued to address regulation of “forever chemicals” with USEPA Administrator Lee Zeldin issuing a series of policy priorities that are generally in alignment with the past Administration’s positions. However, Zeldin’s priorities are notable for the acknowledgement that water sector’s liability, attributable to the agency’s designation of per- and poly�luoroalkyl (PFAS) as hazardous substances under Superfund, demands the development of a new liability standard to protect the sector. Lastly, the Administration transmitted to Congress a �iscal year (FY) 2026 budget request that is certain to generate bipartisan push back its request to eliminate funding for USEPA’s clean water infrastructure assistance program. The following details a number of issues of interest to OC San.
Budget Reconciliation Emerges But Reveals Divisions Each of the House committees with jurisdiction of program spending authorization and tax policies succeeded in approving, along party lines, recommendations to govern spending and tax cuts for the next decade. These actions and decisions do not impact the wastewater sector, as the policies do not target spending levels for programs that support water infrastructure, like the State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF). Overall, the combined budget recommendations would cut federal program spending by more than a trillion dollars and retain the 2017 tax cuts into perpetuity. The next step in the process involves packaging the various elements of the committees’ recommendations into a formal enforceable budget reconciliation measure that the president would sign into law. This is the purview of the Budget Committees in both chambers. Procedurally, the House acts �irst, and the Senate follows. The House Committee on the Budget passed the bill along a party-line vote of 17-16. Floor debate and a vote on the bill has yet to be scheduled as of this writing.
2 | Page
However, policy disagreements still exist among House Republicans about the bill. Speci�ically, some Members are seeking deeper spending cuts. Secondly, Members from high tax states (including California) have insisted that the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction be increased and demanded an increase of at least $60,000 annually (the current level is $10,000). Absent this increased level, these Members (including Rep. Young Kim) have indicated that they are unable to vote for any measure on the �loor. Other disagreements exist, notably impacts to Medicaid assistance availability. As of this writing, it remains an open question as to whether House leadership will be able to appease these concerns and secure enough support to pass the bill on the House Floor. Importance of Budget Debate For OC San, the importance of the ongoing budget debate is found in the fact that depending upon how �inal spending cuts are determined, it could, ultimately, force federal programs of importance to water quality to be reduced from existing spending levels. This is because any overall budget limits that Congress passes in a �inal reconciliation measure will dictate how much spending the Committees on Appropriations will have to allocate to individual programs.
Fiscal Year 2026 Appropriations Process Jump Started with White House Budget
Request On May 1, the White House transmitted its Fiscal Year 2026 budget request. The budget, referred to as a “Skinny Budget” because of its limited details, which is customary for a new Administration’s �irst budget, is notable because of the overall philosophy guiding policy. The budget request rests on a fundamental notion that many of the domestic programs are best left for the states to fund and manage. To this end, USEPA’s State Revolving Loan Fund and Categorical Grants are terminated. The justi�ication for this is the programs have outlived their purposes or are not federal responsibilities. The congressional reception to the Skinny Budget has been chilly. USEPA Administrator Zeldin testifying before the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations received bipartisan comments from leadership that requested programs’ funding levels were unacceptable. Aside from statements in support of a robust federal partnership with the states and local communities, Members also expressed skepticism as to whether the agency would have the necessary quali�ied staff to manage its responsibilities given the reductions in workforce.
Importance of Congressional Budget Review As Congress works to �inalize a budget reconciliation package that will guide overall spending, the committees that must comply with any spending ceilings appear prepared to support funding of critical infrastructure funding programs at USEPA and most likely other agencies. These committees must also determine funding levels for agency staf�ing levels. Concerns over the past months’ voluntary retirements, probationary �irings and imminent reductions
3 | Page
in force may create new tensions between Congress and the Administration over the composition of any �inal Fiscal Year 2026 spending bills that might prevent a �inal budget being enacted by October 1. This could, again, end in a year-long spending bill that would limit how federal programs would be implemented.
NPDES Permitting Reforms Legislation Introduced In a recent House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure hearing, witnesses discussed the importance of speeding up project construction under the Clean Water Act, while reducing bureaucratic delays. Representative John Garamendi (D-CA) announced a bipartisan bill that would allow states to issue 10-year National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits to clean water agencies. After the hearing, Representatives Ken Calvert (R-CA), Garamendi, and David Rouzer (R-NC) introduced H.R. 2093, which includes provisions from last year's House-passed Con�idence in Clean Water Permitting Act. This bill would help wastewater, water recycling, and desalination projects. The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works also recently held a hearing on permitting issues, where all witnesses agreed that reforms are needed. Committee members, from both parties, pointed out that the current federal permitting process is too slow and costly, without bene�iting the environment. As a result, committee staff are considering broad reforms to energy and environmental permitting in the coming months, including discussions about 10-year NPDES permit terms
Importance of Ten-Year Permits Legislation The 119th Congress and the Administration have placed priority on permitting reforms. As a result, the environment to authorize ten-year NPDES permit terms has become more receptive than in past years. If reforms are passed, a bill would likely be signed into law. If enacted into law, water sector agencies would realize reduced administrative red tape associated with Clean Water Act to permit renewals and deliver ef�iciencies in complying with the Clean Water Act. ‘Do Not Flush’ Legislation Advances in the Senate Following last month’s House committee action approving the WIPPES Act (H.R. 2269), �loor action is likely within the next several weeks. As the bill passed the House last Congress, it is hoped that �loor action on H.R. 2269 will be pro forma with little if any complications for passage. In the Senate, a major advancement of the Senate version of the WIPPES bill, S. 1092, is slated for mark-up on May 21. Assuming the Senate Committee on Commerce approves the legislation on a bipartisan basis, it should lead to Senate �loor debate and a vote. Once this happens, and the House passes its bill, a conference committee will be scheduled between the two chambers to reconcile any differences, if such differences exist. Importance of Senate Action on WIPPES Act
4 | Page
Senate committee consideration and approval of the legislation would remove a major hurdle for passage of the bill. The limited calendar during the past Congress precluded Senate committee action. The decision to move forward on the bill early in this Congress suggests that �inal congressional action on the WIPPES Act is highly probable. Regardless of the contours of any �inal agreement, it appears the legislation would establish a federal standard requiring manufacturers to label such products with a 'Do Not Flush' warning, aligning with California's state law.
USEPA Administrator Details Priorities To Address PFAS Chemicals USEPA Administrator Zeldin released an extensive policy statement on how he expects the agency to proceed on developing policies and rules surrounding the management of PFAS and successor chemicals. Uppermost in his position is the priority to rely upon science and real time data to help make decisions. The outline of the Administrator’s priorities track the agency’s earlier PFAS policies, but with some notable policy shifts. The Administrator emphasizes that one of�icial will be tasked with managing the agency’s PFAS agenda. This should enhance coordination and transparency in PFAS policy and rule development. He also highlighted the importance attached to addressing “passive receiver” liability under Superfund for PFAS. The Administrator cited his interest in working with industry stakeholders and Congress to develop a liability regime that protects passive receivers like the wastewater sector. In addition, the Administrator af�irmed his desire to �inalize a risk assessment model for biosolids, impose ef�luent limitation guidelines on metal �inishers and manufacturers and users of PFAS to protect against discharges, require real time monitoring of PFAS presence, and rely upon the Clean Air, Safe Drinking Water, Clean Water, Solid Waste Management and Toxic Substances Control Acts to address PFAS. Importance of Administrator Position The Administrator’s announced PFAS priorities carries important weight and supports OC San’s interests. Congress is preparing to address PFAS policy issues, including liability and treatment needs. Zeldin’s public statements on a desire to work with stakeholders on liability means that a key policymaker is on the record in support of the development of an approach to protect innocent parties that currently face potential liability because of USEPA’s hazardous substance designation under Superfund. Additionally, the priority to update acceptable management practices for biosolids on an annual basis, instead of the current three year schedule, should enhance the development and acceptability of new management technologies. This along with the priority to �inalize a validated risk assessment model for biosolids and land application should support the use of accepted management approaches. Overall, the Administrator’s stated priorities signal a renewed commitment to rely upon science and validated research in setting standards for PFAS.

The rapid pace of legislative activity is expected to continue through May and June, as lawmakers work toward several upcoming deadlines. The first, on May 2, was the deadline for policy
committees to hear and report fiscal bills to fiscal committees. Just one week later, on May 9, policy committees reported non-fiscal bills to the Floor. By May 23, fiscal committees are required to complete their hearings and report all bills to the Floor in their respective house of origin. This
leads into the first week of June, which will be reserved exclusively for Floor sessions in each house. The legislative cycle will then reach a key milestone on June 6, the deadline for bills to move to the second house for further consideration.
The legislative transition from policy review to fiscal analysis aligns with the state’s budget process, which intensifies in May with the release of the Governor’s May Revision. This revised
budget proposal offered an updated assessment of the state’s fiscal outlook and evaluated the viability of funding new spending proposals included in pending legislative measures.
Below is an overview of pertinent actions from the past month.
State Budget Governor’s May Revise
On May 15, the Governor provided a presentation overview of the State’s updated budget proposal. The May Revision, or “May Revise,” is an update to the January budget proposal that
reflects new revenue projections, economic trends, caseload updates, and evolving policy priorities. The May Revision provides the Governor with an opportunity to modify funding proposals and strategies ahead of final budget negotiations with the Legislature. By law, the State
must enact a balanced budget by June 15. The 2025 May Revision responds to significant fiscal pressures and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, particularly in light of federal policy developments and inflationary pressures affecting state program costs. General Fund Outlook and Budget-Balancing Strategy
The Governor’s May Revision identifies a combined $12 billion deficit to close an estimated $7.5 billion shortfall in the state’s Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (SFEU), while also building
that reserve to a $4.5 billion year-end balance. These adjustments are in addition to a proposed
2
drawdown of $7.1 billion from the state’s rainy-day reserve, the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA).
Following these actions, total General Fund reserves for FY 2025-26 are projected to be $15.7 billion, including $11.2 billion in the BSA and $4.5 billion in the SFEU. Total state spending under
the May Revision is proposed at $321.9 billion, including $226.4 billion in General Fund expenditures—down slightly from the Governor’s January proposal.
Key budget-balancing proposals include:
• Cost Reductions: $5 billion in 2025-26 from reductions to Medi-Cal, In-Home Supportive
Services, and other health and human services programs. These include an enrollment freeze for certain adult undocumented residents and limitations on program expansions.
• Fund Shifts and Borrowing: $5 billion in temporary savings, including:
o $1.3 billion in Proposition 35 MCO tax revenue redirected to Medi-Cal.
o $3.4 billion in delayed General Fund repayment to Medi-Cal.
o $550 million borrowed from other special funds, including the Unfair Competition Law Fund and Labor and Workforce Development Fund.
• Cap-and-Trade Shifts: $1.5 billion in cap-and-trade revenues repurposed to support CAL FIRE operations, reducing General Fund obligations.
• Trigger Reductions: $456 million in conditional cuts beginning in FY 2027-28 if revenues fall short, including:
o $117 million for the expansion of California Food Assistance Program to undocumented adults 55+.
o $339 million for tiered foster care rate expansions.
While the May Revision balances the 2025-26 budget, projected structural deficits remain significant, with the Department of Finance forecasting annual shortfalls of $14 billion in 2026-
27, $19 billion in 2027-28, and $13 billion in 2028-29—even if all proposed corrective actions are adopted. Cap and Trade Program Details in May Revise
The May Revision marks a conceptual shift from “Cap and Trade” to “Cap and Invest,” with the
Governor advancing a proposal to extend California’s Cap and Trade program beyond 2030 and secure long-term revenue streams for high-impact climate investments. During his presentation,
the Governor specifically advocated extending the program to 2045. The Governor’s proposal puts a floor of $1 billion dedicated to the High-Speed Rail Project as an
ongoing funding stream, a deviation from the current 25% dedicated allocation, which fluctuates based on auction revenues. As a rebate to utility customers, the newly named Cap and Invest Program would allocate $60 billion in credits to taxpayers through 2045.
The Governor also proposes trailer bill language to streamline financing and construction for the Delta Conveyance Project, signaling continued interest in climate resilience, water conveyance,
and wildfire mitigation.

As part of the extension of the program, Legislators have started gathering stakeholder feedback on the impacts of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. It is likely that some legislative priorities
currently being funded through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund will shift as legislators take a closer look at the revenue being generated by the program. TPA has been working with OC San staff to include innovative biosolids management funding as a part of the Cap and Trade Re-
Authorization and associated Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund expenditure plan. Senate Local Government Committee Advances Brown Act Modernization Legislation
In early April, the Senate Local Government Committee, chaired by Senator María Elena Durazo, heard 16 bills, including two focused on modernizing the Brown Act, which governs open meetings
for local legislative bodies. These measures aim to expand teleconferencing options, improving public access, particularly for vulnerable communities such as the disabled and non-English speakers.
The first bill, SB 239 (Arreguín), proposes allowing local and regional non-voting advisory bodies to conduct remote meetings, provided the physical meeting location is staffed by the body or the
legislative body. This measure excludes advisory bodies with oversight over sensitive matters, such as police oversight, elections, and budgets, from remote participation. During the hearing,
committee members raised concerns about maintaining public access and transparency while
allowing remote meetings. Questions were raised regarding effective public participation, quorum requirements, and potential impacts on decision-making when fewer members attend in person.
There was also discussion on why certain advisory bodies would be excluded from remote meetings.
Additionally, the requirement for staff at the in-person meeting locations raised logistical concerns, especially for bodies without dedicated staff. Overall, the committee sought a balance between flexibility for members with caregiving or disability challenges and the need to ensure public
participation and transparency. Senator Arreguín accepted amendments, including a sunset provision that expires on January 1, 2030, and emphasized that the bill strikes a balance between transparency and flexibility, especially for those unable to attend in person due to caregiving,
disabilities, or logistical issues. The second Brown Act bill in the hearing, SB 707 (Durazo), aims to modernize and extend key
provisions of the Act, including teleconferencing, which is set to expire in 2026. SB 707 requires certain local governments to livestream meetings, offer remote public comment, provide materials
in multiple languages, and implement interpretation services to promote inclusivity. Some
stakeholders raised concerns about inconsistencies in the flexibility offered to different types of multi-member bodies, which could undermine transparency. According to the Author, SB 707 is
seen as a collaborative effort to balance flexibility with the need for public access. The discussion in the committee hearing reflected progress made thus far but also emphasized that conversations with stakeholders will continue to address remaining concerns.
Both SB 239 and SB 707 passed the Senate Local Government Committee, as amended, and will continue through the legislative process. These bills will have an impact on OC San through
increased transparency requires and could be challenging to implement. However, both bills are expected to undergo additional changes in the coming weeks.

AB 370 Carrillo [D]This bill would revise the definition of unusual circumstances as it applies
to a state of emergency to require the state of emergency, in addition to
currently affecting the agency’s ability to timely respond to requests as

the agency’s ability to timely respond to requests as described above. By
restricting the time period in which a local agency may respond to
requests, thus increasing the duties of local officials, this bill would create a
state-mandated local program. Current law requires each agency, within 10
days of a request for a copy of records, to determine whether the request
seeks copies of disclosable public records in possession of the agency and
to promptly notify the person of the determination and the reasons therefor.
Current law authorizes that time limit to be extended by no more than 14
days under unusual circumstances, and defines “unusual circumstances”
to include, among other things, the need to search for, collect, and
appropriately examine records during a state of emergency when the state
of emergency currently affects the agency’s ability to timely respond to

fleets transition to zero-emission vehicles, with some exemptions
permitted. This bill proposes the establishment of an Appeals Advisory
Committee to review denied exemption requests. This committee,
comprising specified government and non-government representatives,
must meet monthly, with meetings recorded and accessible online. They
must review appeals and provide recommendations within 60 days, which
the board must consider publicly within another 60 days. Certain vehicles
involved in emergency responses would be exempt from the regulations,
and fleet owners will not be pressured to produce zero-emissions vehicle
purchase agreements to delay transitioning mandates.

SB 595 Choi [R]Existing law regulates how local agencies can invest public funds in
specific securities and financial instruments, subject to certain conditions.
Until January 1, 2026, agencies with under $100 million in assets can
invest up to 25% in eligible commercial paper, while those with $100
million or more can invest up to 40%. Starting in 2026, this changes to a
uniform 25% limit, regardless of asset size. This bill would extend the
current distinction until January 1, 2031, postponing the universal limit
change to that date. Additionally, the bill extends until 2031 the authority for
agencies to invest in certain U.S. government securities that might accrue
zero interest if held to maturity. Regarding financial reporting, the law
requires the Controller to publish annual financial and compensation
reports for all counties, cities, and school districts. Currently, if a local
agency fails to submit these reports within 20 days after notification, they
must pay a penalty based on revenue. This bill changes the deadline to 10
months after the fiscal year's end and mandates the Controller to assess
whether machine-readable audited financial statements can replace
traditional reports. The Controller must report to the Legislature on this by
December 31, 2026.

SB 601 Allen [D]The bill proposes changes to existing water quality control laws in
California. It modifies requirements for businesses involved in regulated
industries to demonstrate compliance with water quality permit programs
when applying for permits. It extends the requirement to include
businesses seeking construction permits for activities disturbing over one
acre of land, with specific information such as planned disturbed acreage
and identification numbers needed. Additionally, the bill permits the State
Water Resources Control Board to adopt water quality control plans for all
state waters, termed "nexus waters" (non-navigable waters), aligning them
with federal Clean Water Act standards. The bill mandates that state's
water quality control standards incorporate nexus waters in federal
compliance processes, and reiterates state policies for managing proposed
discharge activities. It specifies financial penalties for violating waste
discharge requirements, adjusting annually from 2026, with funds directed
towards the State Water Pollution Cleanup and Abatement Account.

TO: Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)
FROM: Whittingham Public Affairs Advisors DATE: May 22, 2025
SUBJECT: May Local Legislative Report Following is a few of the more notable developments and issues that have transpired in
Orange County over the last several weeks:
• Public relations consultant Betty Martinez-Franco was sworn in to represent the residents of the 5th District on the Irvine City Council. This position had been vacant
since Councilmember Larry Agran was elected Mayor last November.
• A majority of the Costa Mesa City Council voted to terminate the contract of City Manager Lori Ann Farrell Harrison, who had served in that capacity since 2019. In
addition to Costa Mesa, the cities of La Palma, Orange, and Placentia are also
currently in the process of identifying and selecting a new City Manager.
• The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, which first opened its doors in 1895, had announced mid-April that it would be officially terminating its operations at the
end of the month. However, a new interim President & CEO, along with new leadership of the Board of Directors, have been identified to enable the Chamber to continue its business advocacy in the city while discontinuing any political activity or fundraising. The changes come roughly three years after the Chamber’s former CEO pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges.
• The County of Orange has deferred for a year proposed increases to waste disposal rates at County landfills after cities and sanitary districts strongly opposed raising “tipping” fees by more than 92 percent. While hikes were initially set to hit this
year, city leaders and the county agreed to a new, one-year extension with just a 2.6 percent increase that would give them until June 2026 to work out a long- term plan. City councils across the county have considered and approved the extension and increase over the past few weeks.

• The Stanton City Council voted to direct its staff to research the potential of the
City joining the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA), the Community Choice
Aggregation (CCE) provider of electricity to residents and business in the cities of Irvine, Buena Park, Fullerton, and the CCE’s newest member, Fountain Valley. The OCPA Board also voted to reduce the amount of renewable energy it purchases due to rising energy costs, with member cities lowering the default offering levels.
As part of our scope of work, Whittingham Public Affairs Advisors has continued to monitor the various City Council agendas of each of OC San’s members and highlighted issues and items of relevance. We also continue to monitor activities at the South Coast Air Quality Management District and South Orange County Wastewater Authority.
It is a pleasure to work with you and to represent the Orange County Sanitation District. Sincerely,

RE: H.R. 2269, WIPPES Act Support – Orange County Sanitation
District
Dear Congressman Lou Correa:
On behalf of the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San), I write to
express our strong support for the bipartisan Wastewater Infrastructure
Pollution Prevention and Environmental Safety (WIPPES) Act (H.R. 2269).
This important legislation would establish uniform federal “Do Not Flush”
labeling requirements for non-flushable wipes packaging—mirroring
California’s successful law—and was favorably reported by the House
Committee on Energy and Commerce in April. We respectfully urge you to
support H.R. 2269 and vote in favor of it when it comes to the House Floor
for consideration.
Every day, clean water utilities like OC San confront the growing challenge
caused by improperly flushed non-flushable wipes. Despite being marketed
for a variety of purposes, these products are not engineered for sewer
systems. When flushed, they can clog pipes, damage critical treatment
equipment, burden operations, and lead to costly maintenance and
environmental harm through sewer overflows. These impacts are felt not
only by utilities but by the communities we serve.
The WIPPES Act offers a simple, yet highly effective, source control
solution by requiring consistent, clear “Do Not Flush” labeling on non-
flushable wipe products. This commonsense measure will empower
consumers with the information needed to properly dispose of wipes and
protect our nation's wastewater infrastructure. It is notable that the
legislation has earned broad and sustained support from diverse
stakeholders across industry, clean water agencies, environmental
organizations, and civil engineering sectors.
Page 2 of 2
Passage of the WIPPES Act will strengthen the resiliency of America’s clean water
infrastructure, safeguard public health, protect our environment, and save ratepayers
significant costs associated with avoidable damage and repairs. OC San is proud to
support H.R. 2269, and we urge you to do the same by voting in favor when it is
considered on the House Floor.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please feel free to
contact Jennifer Cabral, Director of Communications, at (714) 593-7581 or via email
at JCabral@ocsan.gov.
Thank you for your leadership and commitment to protecting our nation’s clean water
resources.
Sincerely,
Ryan P. Gallagher

1021 O Street, Room 6510 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Senate Bill (SB) 496 (Hurtado) Advanced Clean Fleets. Notice of Support – Orange County Sanitation District Dear Senator Hurtado, I write to you today on behalf of the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) to express my support for SB 496 (Hurtado). This bill would create an Advanced
Clean Fleets (ACF) Appeals Advisory Committee, ensure disaster service workers are able to effectively respond to emergency situations, and provide needed and common-sense reforms for compliance. OC San has been working diligently to reduce the carbon intensity of fleet
operations while ensuring that we continue to provide the many critical services our communities rely upon for their most essential daily needs. The ACF regulation has established ambitious and often impractical compliance deadlines for fleets to transition to Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs). The ACF’s
ZEV transition requires access to adequate utility infrastructure for alternative fueling, such as EV charging, as well as access to ZEVs that are capable of providing a comprehensive range of essential and specialized services offered by fleets, many of which are vital for the health and safety of Californians. While the ACF allows fleets to seek exemptions in cases where fleets cannot meet the
compliance timetables, it lacks clarity regarding the evaluation and determination process for these exemption requests. Additionally, it does not outline a procedure for the administrative review of denied exemption requests by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
SB 496 establishes an Appeals Advisory Committee by which local agencies may request a review of exemption request denials. Allowing a formal appeals process ensures transparency while protecting due process for those seeking further review.
Honorable Melissa Hurtado SB 496 Advanced Clean Fleets
Page Two
Additionally, SB 496 would update the emergency vehicle exemption, allowing those vehicles that respond to and support critical operations related to emergencies and disasters, often
under difficult or harsh conditions, to continue to protect our communities. Also, SB 496
modifies the requirements of the daily usage exemption, removing barriers for the applicant to comply with the mandate.
SB 496 would create much-needed improvements to the ACF while protecting the health and
safety of Californians, avoid unnecessary costs detrimental to our shared long-term goals, and
ensure that local agencies can continue to work diligently to decarbonize their fleet operations and comply with the ACF without being penalized for factors beyond their control.
For these reasons, OC San supports SB 496. If you have any questions, please contact
Jennifer Cabral, Director of Communications, at (714) 593-7581 or via email at

The Honorable Jacqui Irwin CA State Assembly Member, 42nd District 1021 O Street
Suite 6220 RE: Cap and Trade Expenditure Plan Request – Innovative Biosolids
Management Programs Dear Senator Limon and Assembly Member Irwin: On behalf of the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San), I am writing to respectfully request the inclusion of biosolids management as a priority strategy in the Cap-and-Trade Expenditure Plan. Specifically, we would like to request a $100 million discretionary allocation to support the development and deployment of innovative biosolids treatment technologies across the state. This proposed program and funding source can build off the success of previous programs administered by the state and reduce emissions in a more efficient and cost-
effective manner. As California advances toward carbon neutrality and deep reductions in short-lived
climate pollutants (SLCPs), biosolids management presents a significant opportunity to meet those goals while protecting public health and advancing environmental justice. OC San is actively piloting and implementing two
groundbreaking technologies that align with the priorities of the Cap-and-Trade Program and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF):
• Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) Demonstration Project This emerging process uses water at elevated temperatures and pressure
to destroy organic compounds in sludge and scum, converting them into benign elements such as carbon dioxide and water. The SCWO process also destroys emerging contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), pharmaceuticals, and microplastics. This process has the potential to eliminate several steps in the current wastewater solids treatment process, lowering chemical and energy consumption, and reducing long haul trucking of the solids removed as part of the wastewater process. OC San is currently advancing a demonstration-scale project and anticipates regional and statewide scalability.
Page 2 of 3
• Deep Well Injection
This method permanently sequesters biosolids more than 5,000 feet underground into
porous geological formations beneath multiple layers of impermeable rock, at their source
of generation, rather than moving them into other jurisdictions while at the same time
eliminating odors and sources for groundwater and soil contamination, and road traffic. This
proven technology provides a long-term, secure solution for carbon-rich materials and
residuals that contain trace amounts of harmful substances. It is especially well-suited for
handling materials with persistent contaminants like PFAS, microplastics, and
pharmaceutical residues. Each wet ton of biosolids sequestered in this way eliminates the
emissions of more than 5 tons of CO2e, thus providing enormous support to the goals of the
GGRF.
These two technologies provide a measurable and scalable path to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions through:
• Avoiding GHG emissions by eliminating landfilling or land applying of organic materials
• Reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by limiting long-haul biosolids transport— OC San
currently transports over 500 wet tons of biosolids per day with a total of approximately
2,900,000 miles traveled annually to various composting facilities in California and/or
farmlands in Arizona. Avoided trucking could reduce up to 5,500 metric tons of CO2e per
year just for OC San.
• Finding a forever home for harmful pollutants and avoiding the future emissions and
health impacts associated with environmental contamination.
These technologies support multiple priorities of the Cap-and-Trade Expenditure Plan, including:
• Reducing GHG emissions and SLCPs
• Promoting innovation in climate solutions
• Advancing clean energy and sustainable waste management
• Reducing VMT and local air pollution
• Delivering co-benefits to public health, especially for disadvantaged communities
• Supporting the principles of a circular economy
OC San is committed to advancing sustainable, long-term solutions for biosolids management that
are practical, cost-effective, and protective of public health and the environment.
Page 3 of 3
We respectfully urge the Cap-and-Trade Working Group to consider a $100 million funding
allocation to create a statewide competitive grant program that will help agencies like ours
implement emerging biosolids management technologies.
We thank you for your continued leadership in advancing California’s ambitious climate
agenda and look forward to the opportunity to contribute innovative solutions that move the
state closer to a more sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient future. If you have any
questions, please contact Jennifer Cabral, Director of Communications, at (714) 593-7581 or

SUBJECT:
FY 2025-26 PROPERTY - LIABILITY INSURANCE RENEWALS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Orange County Sanitation District FY 2025-26 Property-Liability Insurance Renewals
included in the FY 2025-26 Budget for the not-to-exceed amounts specified below:
Property and Boiler & Machinery - Not to Exceed $3,118,944
Excess General Liability Insurance - Not to Exceed $1,429,942
Excess Workers’ Compensation Insurance - Not to Exceed $ 476,000
Earthquake Insurance - Not to Exceed $ 206,744
Cyber Liability $ 143,935
TOTAL $5,375,565
BACKGROUND
Financial Management staff and the Orange County Sanitation District’s (OC San)operational
insurance broker,Alliant,began the renewal process in January and received final quotes in June.
After negotiating with the insurance carriers,Alliant was able to secure competitive rates for OC San
without compromising the quality of coverage provided.The insurance market has been in a state of
flux due to reduced reinsurer capacity,weather extremes,sea level rise,wildfires,catastrophic
losses,social inflation,and cybersecurity threats around the world and in the state of California.
There is a lot of uncertainty in the market and insurers have taken losses for previous years and,as a
result, insurance costs will increase to absorb the losses.
The uncertainty in the market due to the above-mentioned factors will impact the insurance rates.As
such,OC San will need to pay higher rates to obtain the same coverage limits.The current extreme
degree of uncertainty in the insurance industry means significant rate increases,at least in the short
term, until the numbers play out for the insurance industry over the next few years.
The proposed cost of insurance coverage for FY 2025-26 is $5,375,565,an increase of $353,772
(7%). A summary of the insurances is included in the Additional Information section below.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
May 2025 -Informational presentation to the Administration Committee providing an overview of the
insurance renewal market.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The cost of insurance coverage for FY 2025-26 is $5,375,565,an increase of $353,772 (7%).OC
San’s budget provides funds for the renewal of the following four major insurances for OC San
operations:
1)All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance (Includes Boiler & Machinery)
The All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance Program (Property Insurance)provides comprehensive
coverage for much of OC San’s real and personal property regarding virtually all perils including fire,
flood,and business interruption.Current Property Insurance limits are $1 billion dollars for most
perils other than flood and earthquakes,and $25 million dollars for flood,with many sub-limits for
various situations.In order to reach $1 billion dollars in limits,the broker had to arrange for more
than a dozen different insurers.The self-insured retention (SIR)is $1,000,000 per occurrence for
most types of losses.
Since the late 1990’s,the Property Insurance has been with a nationwide joint purchase property
insurance program called Public Entity Property Insurance Program,one of the world’s largest
property programs.It is important to note that this joint purchase property insurance offers the
purchasing power of numerous large public entities without the pooling or sharing of coverage or
Orange County Sanitation District Printed on 6/18/2025Page 2 of 4

File #:2025-4347 Agenda Date:6/25/2025 Agenda Item No:14.
purchasing power of numerous large public entities without the pooling or sharing of coverage or
losses.The Boiler &Machinery Insurance component of the property insurance provides
comprehensive coverage for loss caused by machinery breakdown and explosion of steam boilers or
other covered process equipment,including damage to the equipment itself and damage to other
property caused by covered accidents.The current Boiler &Machinery Insurance Program provides
coverage of $100 million per occurrence with deductibles ranging from $25,000 to $350,000 for
losses caused by covered machinery breakdown (e.g.,motors,steam turbines,digesters,co-gen
engines).Damages to the equipment,as well as damage to other property and improvements from
machinery breakdown,are covered by the Boiler &Machinery Insurance.This program augments
OC San’s All-Risk Property Insurance that covers perils such as fire and flood.
The estimated cost for All-Risk Property and Flood is $3,118,944, a decrease of $7,618 (0.2%).
2)Excess General Liability Insurance
OC San’s Excess General Liability Insurance Program is currently provided through the California
Municipal Excess Liability Program (CAMEL)and its sister program,the Alliant National Municipal
Liability Program.OC San has participated in the CAMEL program since FY 1996-97.This program
currently provides OC San with a $40 million dollar policy of comprehensive coverage for municipal
liability,bodily injury and property damage,and personal injury.The program was structured to
include Employment Practices and Public Officials Errors &Omissions coverage.The $40 million
dollar coverage has a planned self-insured deductible of $1,000,000.
The estimated cost for Excess General Liability is $1,429,942, an increase of $238,324 (20%).
3)Excess Workers’ Compensation
The Excess Workers’Compensation insurance coverage is with Public Risk Innovation,Solutions,
and Management (formerly California State Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority).OC
San has participated in this program or its predecessor since 2003.The Excess Workers’
Compensation program currently provides “Statutory”(unlimited)coverage with a SIR,or deductible,
of $1 million. The use of Excess Workers’ Compensation Insurance dates back to the late 1980’s.
The estimated cost for Excess Workers’ Compensation is $476,000, an increase of $97,658 (26%).
4)Earthquake Insurance
OC San previously carried earthquake insurance as part of its Property Insurance,but in the last 15
years earthquake insurance proved difficult to obtain or not cost-effective.Each year,OC San asked
its insurance broker to survey the market to see if rates changed.In 2015,a plan was created to
maintain coverage on several key OC San structures identified by Engineering,thus keeping the cost
manageable. The insurance is a high deductible plan with a limit of $25 million dollars in total.
The estimated cost for Earthquake Insurance is $206,744, an increase of $21,216 (11%).

security failures,and other cyber-related incidents.As the cyber risk landscape continues to evolve,
coverage has become increasingly vital.This renewal year,OC San's insurance broker Alliant,
reviewed the market to evaluate available options and pricing trends.The current policy structure
balances comprehensive protection with cost control,maintaining a $250,000 retention,while
providing adequate coverage for potential cyber events.
The estimated cost for Cyber Liability Insurance is $143,935, an increase of $4,192 (3%).

SUBJECT:
FOOD WASTE TIPPING FEE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a tipping fee of $47 per wet ton of source separated organic food waste to provide to pre-
processors for planning purposes.
BACKGROUND
The State of California passed legislation and implemented regulations to divert source separated
organics such as food waste away from landfills.After pre-processing,food waste can be
anaerobically digested to reduce its volume and produce methane gas.The Orange County
Sanitation District (OC San)has digester capacity and the ability to convert the generated gas to
energy.
The 2015 Biosolids Master Plan (BMP)evaluated the feasibility of receiving pre-processed food
waste and determined that the costs to construct and operate the required receiving facilities could
be offset by collecting tipping fees and power savings associated with additional biogas generation.
Staff has been engaged with Orange County Waste and Recycling to review potential options for the
handling,processing,and transport of food waste that could be delivered to OC San.In parallel,OC
San continues to review and update tipping fees required to offset the operational and capital
expenses associated with an Interim Food Waste Receiving Facility.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Use all practical and effective means for resource recovery
·Ensure the public’s money is wisely spent
·Maintain and adhere to appropriate internal planning documents (Biosolids Master Plan)

File #:2025-4358 Agenda Date:6/25/2025 Agenda Item No:15.
PROBLEM
Orange County Waste and Recycling and other potential waste haulers cannot determine the viability
of potential pre-processing facility construction and operation without knowing the tipping fee they will
be charged.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Provide a current tipping fee for source separated organic food waste that can be utilized by potential
pre-processors and haulers for their planning efforts.
TIMING CONCERNS
Source separated organic food waste pre-processors and haulers need this information for planning
their facilities.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Potential pre-processors and haulers will not have an accurate tipping fee that reflects OC San’s
latest costs.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
June 2021 -Information item and presentation to the Operations Committee regarding Food Waste
Receiving.
May 2020 -Information item and presentation to the Operations Committee regarding Interim Food
Waste Receiving Facility, Project No. P2-124, and Pricing Policy Discussion.
July 2019 -Information item and presentation to the Operations and Administration Committees
regarding Interim Food Waste Receiving Facility, Project No. P2-124.
September 2018 -Approved a Professional Design Services Agreement with Kennedy/Jenks
Consultants to provide engineering services for Interim Food Waste Receiving Facility,Project No.P2
-124, for an amount not to exceed $695,000; and approved a contingency of $69,500 (10%).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In 2017,the BMP calculated a tipping fee for $26/wet ton.Staff recently reviewed the calculation to
ensure its accuracy and updated the associated operational and capital costs based on current
information.
Capital costs are associated with the construction of Project P2-124,Interim Food Waste Receiving
Facility,which was initially bid on December 1,2020,followed by the rejection of bids on June 23,
2021,due to not having an agreement with food waste management companies to deliver pre-
processed food waste .This project cost has increased from $5,400,000 to $10,000,000 due to
construction cost escalation.The reforecast of food waste received per day was also adjusted as it is
not likely to operate the facility at full capacity each day and there are likely times when deliveriesOrange County Sanitation District Printed on 6/18/2025Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:2025-4358 Agenda Date:6/25/2025 Agenda Item No:15.
not likely to operate the facility at full capacity each day and there are likely times when deliveries
may not be received due to holidays, pre-processing facility issues, etc.
Operational and maintenance costs have increased significantly over the past eight years and
include higher chemical,utility,labor,and maintenance costs.In addition,fees associated with the
management of biosolids have increased and were updated to reflect current values.The resulting
updates are summarized in the table below:
Item BMP Value Current Value
Food Waste (average wet tons / day)150 120
Capital Costs ($/ton)10 23
O&M Costs ($/ton)16 24
Total ($/ton):26 47
The current tipping fee credits all anticipated power generation benefits back to offset other costs.
The intention of this fee is solely to account for additional costs that OC San will incur during the
construction and operation of the new facility.

BUDGET UPDATE - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 v
Honorable Chair and Board of Directors:
It is a privilege to present the Orange County Sanitation District’s (OC San) Budget Update for
Fiscal Year 2025–26. This update outlines our strategic direction and nancial plan as we carry
forward our mission to protect public health and the environment by providing e ective
wastewater collection, treatment, and recycling.
OC San remains committed to its long-standing values of service, innovation, and stewardship.
This budget re ects our continued focus on long-term infrastructure investment, nancial
sustainability, and operational performance, all while maintaining a ordability for the 2.6 million
residents we serve.
Long-Term Vision and Strategic Planning
The FY 2025–26 budget aligns with OC San’s Strategic Plan, most recently updated in November
2023. The plan de nes long-range goals in environmental stewardship, infrastructure resiliency,
workplace development, and community partnerships. This year’s budget re ects measurable
progress in these areas through targeted investments in capital improvements, workforce
development, and system modernization.
Guided by our Asset Management Program and 20-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the
agency continues to address aging infrastructure while planning for future demands. The FY
2025–26 budget supports essential upgrades to reclamation facilities, pump stations, trunk
sewers, and administrative campuses, ensuring long-term operational integrity and service
reliability.
Strategic Capital Investments
OC San’s proposed operating and captial improvement budget for FY 2025–26 is $500.6 million.
A signi cant portion—$254 million—is dedicated to capital projects, with an emphasis on replacing
and rehabilitating aging systems, improving energy e ciency, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Major projects include:
These capital e orts are key to OC San’s $3.6 billion, ten-year infrastructure renewal strategy—one
of the most ambitious in the agency’s history.
Responsible Debt Management and Financial Stewardship
OC San continues to demonstrate strong nancial discipline. With total outstanding Certi cates of
Participation (COP) debt held at $572 million, no new debt issuance is planned in FY 2025–26.
Instead, capital projects are being nanced using a combination of reserves and current service
fee revenue.
June 3, 2025
Rehabilitation of Plant No. 1’s Headworks and Sedimentation Basins, vital vital
wastewater processing and operational e ciency.
Primary treatment upgrades and power system enhancements at Plant No. 2,
supporting resiliency and Groudwater Replensihment System (GWRS) integration.
Replacement of critical pump stations, including Seal Beach and Bay Bridge.
Construction of a new laboratory and operations complex, enhancing functionality and
long-term operational capacity.
BUDGET UPDATE - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 vi
OC San is also exploring opportunities to re nance callable debt, which could generate long-term interest savings.
This prudent approach helps preserve our AAA credit ratings and ensures exibility in future nancial planning.
The FY 2025–26 single-family residential sewer service fee is proposed at $384 per year, re ecting a modest
increase of 3.5 percent in accordance with the Board-approved rate structure. This adjustment supports necessary
investments while maintaining a ordability and scal balance.
Commitment to Performance and E ciency
Operational performance and cost containment remain central to OC San’s management approach. The FY 2025–26
operations budget of $246.4 million includes necessary increases to support maintenance, professional services, and
labor costs. Nonetheless, sta ng remains lean with only 664.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions—a reduction from
historical levels—despite system expansion and increasing regulatory demands.
E ciencies have been achieved through technology upgrades, preventive maintenance programs, and streamlined
service delivery. Over 25 percent of the budget is dedicated to employee costs, a lower share than most public
agencies, re ecting OC San’s culture of cost-e ectiveness and accountability.
Forward Momentum
OC San continues to lead in water reuse through our longstanding partnership with the Orange County Water District.
Together, we support the GWRS, which now recycles up to 130 million gallons per day—enough to meet the needs of
one million residents. With support from both Boards, additional upgrades are underway to optimize integration and
delivery of reclaimed ows from Plant No. 2. We also remain focused on innovation in biosolids management, energy
independence, cybersecurity, and stormwater coordination, as de ned in our Strategic Plan. These e orts will help
OC San navigate future challenges while continuing to deliver safe, reliable service to our community.
In closing, I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Directors for their leadership and vision, and to OC San’s
sta for their dedication and professionalism. The FY 2025–26 Budget Update re ects our shared commitment to
scal integrity, environmental protection, and the highest standards of public service.
Rob Thompson
General Manager
Orange County Sanitation District
BUDGET UPDATE - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 vii
Budget Overview
OC San’s FY 2025-26 operating and capital
improvement budget is proposed at $500.6 million, a
$16.9 million decrease from the FY 2025-26 adopted
budget. The decrease is mostly comprised of a $25.1
million, or 9.0 percent net decrease in cash outlays for
construction projects, o set by a 3.5 percent, or $8.3
million increase in operating expenses. The uctuation
in capital outlay requirements over the next two years
is attributable to the timing of the construction
schedule on the implementation of the overall
combined ten-year, $3.6 billion CIP.
This budget continues to re ect the agency’s ongoing
e orts to meet the operational standards and
regulatory requirements. Sta ng levels are being
proposed at 664.5 full time equivalent (FTE) positions,
an increase of 1 FTE position over the 663.5 FTE
sta ng level that was approved for FY 2024-25.
Financing
OC San uses long-term Certi cates of Participation
(COP) for nancing capital improvements that cannot
be completely funded from current revenue. Before
any new debt is issued, the impact of debt service
payments on total annual xed costs is analyzed. Total
COP indebtedness is currently at $572 million. There
may be opportunities to re nance maturing and
callable debt during FY 2025-26 that will produce
savings over the life of the debt. No new money debt
nancings are currently forecasted to assist in the
funding of the $3.6 billion in capital improvements
required over the next ten years.
Sta ng
Re ecting the organization’s commitment to e ciency
and providing the expected high level of service, the
budget includes an increase of one authorized full-time
positions for FY 2025-26. Total lled positions will not
exceed 664.5 full time equivalent (FTE) sta positions.
This sta ng level continues to re ect a signi cant
reduction from the Fiscal Year 1995-96 approved
sta ng level of 678 positions.
Overall personnel costs for FY 2025-26 will
approximate the original adopted budget due to
reductions in labor and retirement premiums to Orange
County Employees’ Retirement System (OCERS)
following the retirement of approximately seventy
employees in the last two years.
Costs for medical insurance and workers compensation
bene ts are also expected to remain the same as the
level originally approved. OC San will continue to
e ectively manage these expenses with approximately 26
percent of the budget allocated to employee costs, much
less than most other government agencies.
Cost of Treatment
The agency’s two reclamation plants, located in Fountain
Valley and Huntington Beach, process a combined 185
million gallons of wastewater each day generated by
approximately 2.6 million people in central and northwest
Orange County.
The FY 2025-26 proposed budget to operate, maintain
and manage our sewage collection, treatment and
disposal system is $246.4, an increase of 3.5 percent, or
$8.3 million, from the previously adopted budget.
Sewer Service Fees
The FY 2025-26 single family residential rate, the
underlying basis for all sewer rates, is proposed at $384 a
year. This represents an increase of $13 or 3.5 percent per
the rate structure approved by the Board of Directors.
Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS)
The OC San Strategic Plan includes water reclamation.
Partnered with the Orange County Water District (OCWD),
OCWD completed the GWRS, the nation’s largest water
reclamation project, in January 2008.
The original GWRS facility reclaimed 70 mgd. OC San and
OCWD equally shared the expenses of this project.
Initial expansion of the GWRS increased the production of
reclaimed water to 100 mgd. The project, which was
funded entirely by the OCWD, was completed in 2015. OC
San is directing all reclaimable ows from Plant No. 1 to
OCWD in support of providing maximum amounts of
treated wastewater for reclamation.
The plan to achieve the nal expansion of the GWRS was
approved by both OC San and OCWD Board of Directors
in 2016. The nal expansion of GWRS brings the total
production of reclaimed water to 130 mgd. Since OC San
has maximized the available reclaimable wastewater
treated at Plant No. 1, secondary e uent from Plant No. 2
will be sent to the GWRS for reclamation. Modi cation of
existing Plant No. 2 Headworks, a new Plant Water pump
station and construction of new pumping, equalization
and conveyance facilities will be funded by the OCWD.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY/OVERVIEW AND BUDGETARY ISSUES
BUDGET UPDATE - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 1
As the Headworks Modi cation and Plant Water project
is impacting OC San’s critical infrastructure, OC San will
manage the design and construction of these projects
and were reimbursed by OCWD up to $50 million. The
nal expansion of the GWRS went online in 2023.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The total net CIP budget for FY 2025-26 is being
proposed at $254.3 million, a decrease of $25.1 million
from the previously approved FY 2025-26 budget
primarily due to changes in project schedules and
estimates that result in deferred spending over the
next 10 years. OC San’s Capital Improvement Program
will provide needed improvements and rehabilitation
across all of our asset areas, including the following
highlights:
Operating Budget Increase - $8.3M
The operations budget for the collection, treatment,
and disposal of wastewater is proposed at $246.4
million, a $8.3 million (3.5 percent) increase above
2025-26 adopted budget. The overall increase to the
operating budget is primarily attributable to the
following speci c areas:
Professional Services – $4.2M Increase
The increase is primarily due to delays in projects and
higher than anticipated costs for consulting service for
the development of a progressive design build program,
and a survey of all OC San easements.
Repairs and Maintenance – $2.0M Increase
This expense category includes parts and services for
repairing aging treatment plant and collection facilities
and re ects base budgets for equipment maintenance as
well as out-sourced annual service contracts and
maintenance agreements. The FY 2025-26 budget
increase over the adopted budget for FY 2025-26 is due
to increased cost of goods and service needed to
maintain the reclamation plants.
Rehabilitate the headworks, primary
treatment, and secondary treatment at
Plant No. 1.
Replace a third of the primary treatment
facilities, rehabilitate the aeration basins,
and renew the digester complex via
rehabilitation and the construction of six
new digesters at Plant No. 2.
Construct new administrative facilities
including a new Operations & Maintenance
Complex and a new Laboratory.
Replace or rehabilitate OC San’s aging
pump stations and trunk sewers in the
collections system, including important full
replacements of Edinger, Seal Beach, and
Bay Bridge Pump Stations.

OC San has a variety of revenue sources available for
operating and capital expenses. The major revenue
sources are:
General Service Fees – $381.6M
User fees are ongoing fees for service paid by
customers connected to the sewer system and are the
primary source of OC San’s revenue. A property owner,
or user, does not pay user fees until connected to the
sewer system and receiving services. Once connected,
users are responsible for their share of the system’s
costs, both xed and variable, in proportion to their
demand on the system. These fees are for both Single
Family Residences (SFR) and Multiple Family
Residences (MFR).
Property Taxes – $123.7M
The County of Orange is permitted by State law
(Proposition 13) to levy taxes at one percent of full
market value (at time of purchase) and can increase the
assessed value no more than two percent per year. OC
San receives a share of the basic levy proportionate to
what was received in the 1976 to 1978 period, less $3.5
million, the amount that represents the State’s
permanent annual diversion from special districts to
school districts that began in 1992-93. OC San’s share
of this revenue is dedicated for the payment of debt
service before other operational expenses.
Permit User Fees – $16.6M
Permit user fees are paid by large industrial and
commercial properties owners connected to the sewer
system. These fees are for the owner’s share of the
system’s costs, both xed and variable, in proportion to
the user’s demand on the system. Since the inception
of the Permit User Fee Program in 1970, users of OC
San’s system that discharge high volumes or high
strength wastewater have been required to obtain a
discharge permit and pay extra fees for the cost of
service received.
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges – $21.7M
The Capital Facilities Capacity Charge is a one-time
charge imposed at the time a building or structure is
newly connected to OC San’s system, directly or
indirectly, or an existing structure or category of use is
expanded or increased. This charge pays for OC San
facilities that exist at the time the charge is imposed, or
to pay for new facilities to be constructed in the future
that will bene t the property being charged.
Interest Earnings – $26.5M
Interest earnings are generated from the investment of
accumulated reserves consisting of a cash
ow/contingency, a capital improvement, a renewal/
replacement, and a self-insurance reserve.
Intradistrict Transfers – $3.5M
In accordance with Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement
for Purchase and Sale of Capacity Rights in Treatment,
Disposal and Sewer Facilities between Irvine Ranch Water
District (IRWD) and OC San dated November 15, 1995,
ownership is adjusted annually to re ect the current
equity percentage ownership based on sewage ows.
Debt Proceeds – $0.0M
Certi cates of Participation (COPs) are OC San’s primary
mechanism for nancing capital projects. COPs are
repayment obligations based on a lease or installment
sale agreement. COPs are not viewed as “debt” by the
State of California, but rather a share in an installment
arrangement where OC San serves as the purchaser.
Re nancing COPs can be bene cial to OC San when
there is maturing or callable issues. No new money debt
issuances are being proposed as the $3.1 billion in future
replacement, rehabilitation, and refurbishment projects
anticipated over the next ten years will be adequately
funded through current sewer service fee charges and
existing reserves.
Other Revenue – $14.6M
Other revenue includes self-insurance assessments for
workers’ compensation and general liability coverage as
well as reimbursements from other agencies for shared
CIP and operating costs and miscellaneous revenue such
as rents and leases.

OC San budgets its funds in four distinct areas:
Operating Expenses - $246.4M
The proposed budget allocates resources to operate,
maintain and manage our sewage collection, treatment,
recycling and disposal system, and for any associated
administrative or technical requirements.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) - $254.3M
To provide an appropriate level of service to OC San’s
ratepayers, large capital improvements are required.
The CIP provides for the management and
implementation of these improvements. The CIP
budget includes speci c projects, cost estimates, and
timelines. The gross CIP project budgets for 2023-24
total $289.0 million; however, the CIP cash outlays, net
of savings and deferrals, is $254.3 million.
Debt Service - $60.4M
This is the cost of repaying debt. Long-term debt
nancing allows OC San to complete large multi-year
capital projects by providing funds not always
immediately available. Currently, OCSD is on track to pay
o its $572.0 million outstanding debt by 2040.
Other Requirements - $20.2M
This item includes self-insurance costs and an amount in
accordance with Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement for
Purchase and Sale of Capacity Rights in Treatment,
Disposal and Sewer Facilities between IRWD and OC San
dated November 15, 1995, ownership is adjusted annually

COLLECTION, TREATMENT, AND RECYCLING PROCESS OVERVIEW
OC San’s system includes over 380 miles of sewers
that convey wastewater generated within OC San’s
service area to its two treatment facilities, Reclamation
Plant No. 1 located in the City of Fountain Valley, and
Treatment Plant No. 2 located in the City of Huntington
Beach.
In uent wastewater undergoes Preliminary Treatment
upon entry to the treatment plants where it is ltered
through bar screens, and grit and debris are removed.
It then ows to Primary Treatment, which consists of
large settling basins where solids are settled out,
enhanced by the addition of chemicals, and sent to
Solids Processing. Wastewater then ows to
Secondary Treatment, which is a biological process
using either the trickling lter or activated sludge
process. Solids removed in Secondary Treatment are
also sent to digestion.
Methane gas generated during the natural
decomposition of the solids in the digesters fuels the
Central Power Generation System producing enough
electricity to meet two-thirds of the power needed to
run both treatment plants.
Solids are then dewatered to a 25-30 percent solids
consistency, called biosolids, and recycled via direct
land application or composting.
Up to 130 million gallons per day of secondary e uent
is sent to the Orange County Water District (OCWD) for
recycling in its two treatment processes. The rst is the
Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS), the
largest water puri cation project of its kind in the
world, funded jointly by OCWD and OC San. At 130
million gallons per day, the GWRS generates enough
pure water to meet the needs of 1 million people.
The second is OCWD’s Green Acres Project (GAP), a
water recycling e ort that provides reclaimed water for
landscape irrigation at parks, schools, and golf
courses, as well as for industrial uses such as carpet
dyeing. The demand for GAP water is about four
million gallons per day.

Strategic Planning
In November 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a
new comprehensive strategic plan to steer OC San’s
e orts. The Strategic Plan developed by the Board of
Directors and sta is updated every two years prior to
the start of the budget process, most recently in
November 2023. The plan de nes the strategic
initiatives to be pursued by OC San and provides a
basis for long-term nancial, capital, and operational
planning. In addition, it provides for long-term
continuity of vision as Board and sta members change
over the many years it takes to deliver public works
infrastructure.
Driven by our Mission, Vision and Core Values, this
Strategic Plan continues OC San’s aggressive e orts to
protect the public health of the more than 2.6 million
people we serve while protecting the environment
where we live.
The Strategic Plan is comprised of four broad
categories with fteen policy areas that de ne our
responsibilities and the services we provide. These
areas are:
Environmental Stewardship
Wastewater Management
Chemical Sustainability
Biosolids Management
Constituents of Emerging Concern
Workplace Environment
The Strategic Plan is not a departure from the current
direction, but rather the well de ned iterative update to
the direction of OC San. With the adoption of the
Strategic Plan, sta will be updating the Asset
Management Plan, Capital Improvement Plan, and
Financial Plan that are the basis of a two-year budget
that will be adopted by the Board of Directors. The
Budget goals and the General Manager’s work plan are
the accountability steps that measure achievable
progress toward the strategic initiatives listed in the
Strategic Plan.

Asset Valuation
The replacement valuation for all of OC San’s assets was
updated in 2018 as part of the 2017 Facilities Master Plan.
The table below presents the current valuations of OC
San’s assets. The replacement value represents the cost
in 2025 dollars to construct similar facilities. The
depreciated value is the book value of the assets based
on their age.
The estimated replacement value in FY 2024-25 is $15.7
billion based on the Engineering News-Record
Construction Cost Index (CCI) increase since the 2017
Facilities Master Plan.
Planned CIP Outlays
The following chart shows the 20-year CIP outlay which
includes both current and projected future Capital
Improvement Program projects. Additional information on
the proposed CIP outlay for Board Authorized Projects is
provided in the CIP Budget Request Summary section of
this report. The second half of the 20-year CIP outlay is
primarily comprised of future projects which are
reevaluated and adjusted annually to re ect any new
information available.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Asset Management Program
OC San’s Asset Management Program continues to
evolve and advance as a comprehensive decision-
making framework. The program includes the planning,
design, and construction of quality facilities as well as
the optimized operation; maintenance; and planned
refurbishment or replacement of assets to meet OC
San’s needs. This coordinated decision-making
process allows OC San to consistently meet mandated
levels of service while balancing short, medium, and
long-term needs at the lowest overall lifecycle cost.
The ongoing improvement and maturation of the Asset
Management Program has resulted in the annual
publication of an Asset Management Plan which
provides details on the program, asset condition
summaries, and budgetary considerations. The plan
evaluates the remaining useful life of assets by
discipline within each of the major areas (Collection
System, Reclamation Plant No. 1, and Reclamation Plant
No. 2). The Asset Management Plan is not only useful
for documenting the current condition of OC San’s
assets, but it also helps to develop the 20-year CIP by
identifying what projects are necessary, when they are
needed, and how best to accomplish them. The
overarching trend identi ed by the Asset Management
Program is a focus on renewal expenditures which is
expected given the average age of OC San’s assets.
The value of OC San’s assets and the 20-year CIP plan
to sustain them are summarized in the following
sections and described in more detail in the CIP
Budget Request Summary section of this report.

for preventing sanitary sewer over ows; however, these
three pump stations are a priority for replacement with
an average age of 58 years since original installation.
These projects are projected to spend a combined $25
million in FY 2025-26.
Additionally, as the system continues to age, associated
condition issues are being addressed throughout the
collection system. Project No. 1-23, Santa Ana Trunk
Sewer Rehabilitation; Project No. 3-64C, Los Alamitos
Sub-Trunk and Westside Relief Interceptor Rehabilitation;
and 7-65, Gisler-Red Hill Interceptor and Baker Force
Main Improvements, are three good examples of this
ongoing rehabilitation e ort. All three projects are in
construction and are projected to spend a combined
$26 million in FY 2025-26.
Reclamation Plant No. 1 and Reclamation Plant No. 2
Maintenance
The maintenance program is continually being optimized
with a focus on predictive and preventative maintenance
which identi es and addresses issues early on. This
approach not only allows for a more planned and less
disruptive maintenance program but is also more cost
e ective. Each year the maintenance divisions complete
tens of thousands of these predictive and preventative
maintenance tasks.
Reclamation Plant No. 1 Capital Projects
These projects are intended to rehabilitate or
reconstruct major components of our treatment process
and support facilities to ensure reliable operations.
One of the largest projects at Plant No. 1 continues to be
the Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1 (Project No.
P1-105). The facility is over 30 years old, and a
comprehensive refurbishment is required to ensure the
continued reliable operation of the facility into the future.
The project will rehabilitate systems including the
metering and diversion structure, the bar screen
building, the bin loading building, the main sewage
pump station, the grit basins, the primary in uent
channels, the headworks odor control scrubbers,
electrical power distribution systems, and control
elements. This project is in construction and is projecting
to spend $24 million in FY 2025-26, with nal
completion scheduled in 2030.
Another signi cant project at Plant No. 1 is Project No. J-
133, the Laboratory Replacement at Plant No. 1, which
will replace the existing onsite laboratory at Plant No. 1
with an o site facility located near the new
Headquarters Building. This will provide a new facility
which meets current codes and also make additional
Maintenance and Capital Projects
Below is a summary of the maintenance activities and
associated capital projects for FY 2025-26.
Collection System
OC San’s collection system consists of over 380 miles
of sewers and 15 pump stations. Maintenance
activities are based on established levels of service to
ensure compliance with OC San’s permit-required
Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). The SSPM is
designed to both reduce spills and increase reliability
and safety. Planned activities help extend the useful
life of the assets and minimize nuisance odors.
Typical gravity sewer maintenance consists of closed
circuit television (CCTV) inspection and cleaning
operations. Pump station maintenance activities
include routine assessments; preventive and
corrective maintenance of all electrical, mechanical,
and instrumentation equipment; and cleaning
activities. Frequencies are based on process
conditions, eld data, historical records, manufacturer
recommendations, and industry best practices.
Collection systems generate odors and corrosive
gases. These odors and gases are proactively
addressed to mitigate nuisance odors and limit
degradation of collection system assets.
Collection System Capital Projects
OC San’s collections projects go through a planning
and design process to ensure all elements of the
project are thoroughly assessed. These projects
typically renew or replace aging pipelines and pump
stations; address odor issues; upgrade facilities to
meet current codes and standards; and, in some
instances, increase ow capacity due to growth in
localized portions of our service area.
In FY 2025-26 a focus continues to be on the
replacement of three of OC San’s important pump
stations. Project Nos. 3-67 and 5-67 are both in
construction and will replace Seal Beach Pump
Station and Bay Bridge Pump Station, respectively.
The construction at Seal Beach Pump Station is
expected to be one of the greatest contributors to
capital spending in the coming year. Project No. 11-33,
Edinger Pump Station Replacement, is progressing
through design and is expected to advertise for
construction within the coming scal year. The
reliability of all of OC San’s pump stations are critical

land within the treatment plant footprint available for
future process and construction needs. This is one of
the rst projects planned for execution as a
progressive design build project for OC San and is
projected to spend $1 million in FY 2025-26.
Major overhauls of aging infrastructure continue
downstream of headworks with projects P1-126,
Primary Sedimentation Basins No. 3-5 Replacement at
Plant No. 1, and P1-140, Activated Sludge-1 and
Secondary Clari er Rehabilitation. Both projects are
expected to be nearing completion of design in the
coming scal year and anticipate to spend $10 million
in FY 2025-26.
Reclamation Plant No. 2 Capital Projects
These projects are intended to rehabilitate or reconstruct
major components of our treatment process to ensure
compliance with regulatory permits, enhance water
recycling, and safety.
One of the largest and longest duration active projects at
Plant No. 2 remains Project P2-98 (Primary Treatment
Rehabilitation at Plant No. 2). This project is in
construction and will renew the useful life of the 14
primary clari ers and associated support facilities at Plant
No. 2 via rehabilitation and replacement. These facilities
date back to the late 1950’s and need seismic and
condition-based upgrades. The nal phase of this project
is now under construction and is projecting to spend $23
million in FY 2025-26, with completion scheduled in
2027.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
BUDGET UPDATE - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 12
CIP Budget Request Summary
OC San utilizes an asset management focused
approach to e ectively manage $15.7 billion of aging
assets which require ongoing investment and
attention. This approach includes both the consistent
evaluation of the condition of existing assets and the
consideration of what future facilities will be needed to
address changing regulations, demographics, and
strategic initiatives. OC San also performs annual
reviews of active and future projects through our
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) validation process.
The Project Management O ce manages the scope,
schedule, budget, risks, and other key project
indicators of active projects. Updates are recorded
monthly so that individual project and programmatic
information can be monitored. During validation, OC
San sta review each ongoing capital improvement
project to ensure that the scopes of the projects
remain appropriate, that cost estimates are current,
and that prioritization and schedule t within the
program.
For future projects, the Planning Division reviews how
to best package and schedule those items identi ed
via the Asset Management Program to facilitate their
execution and maintain operational reliability. During
validation, OC San sta carefully review all future
projects to ensure timing needs are accurate and no
further scope changes are required.
The result of this asset management focused
approach and validation process is an updated 20-
year CIP budget each year. The following information
summarizes the outcome of the 2025 budget
validation process which results in the proposed
update to the FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 two-year
budget.
The validated CIP includes 74 large capital projects
with a total 10-year estimated cash ow expenditure of
$3.6 billion. This represents a net $119 million increase
from the FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 CIP estimate.
For a listing of capital projects and their budgets, see
“Summary of Capital Requirements” in the appendix.
The CIP also includes a variety of individually smaller
programs that are grouped together within the CIP –
Small Construction Projects, Planning Studies,
Research, and Information Technology Capital. These
e orts are consolidated under their own project
budgets that are listed as M-FE, M-STUDIES, M-
RESEARCH, and M-MC-IT respectively.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP)
Six new projects were created during the 2025 validation
totaling $195 million. These projects are:
As part of the budget update process, the following
projects are closed or cancelled:

BUDGET UPDATE - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 13
Debt Coverage Ratios
OC San has no legal debt limits as imposed by state
legislation. The only legal debt limits pertaining to OC
San are those that are provided within the existing COP
indenture agreements requiring minimum coverage
ratios of 1.25. The minimum coverage ratio is the ratio
of net annual revenues available for debt service
requirements to total annual debt service requirements
for all senior lien COP debt. The coverage ratio for
senior lien COP debt is proposed at 5.30 for FY 2025-
26.
Debt Financing
A Ten-Year Financial Plan is maintained to establish
nancing parameters regarding the issuance of debt,
the levying of user charges and the funding level for
required reserves in accordance with OC San’s reserve
policy. The Financial Plan is revised annually to re ect
the most current cost and revenue gures resulting
from capital program revisions and operating changes.
Certi cates of Particiaption (COPs)
The primary debt nancing mechanism used is
Certi cates of Participation (COPs). COPs are
repayment obligations based on a lease or installment
sale agreement. The COP structure was selected over
other structures because COPs are not viewed as debt
by the State of California, as the purchaser does not
actually receive a "bond," but rather a share in an
installment sale arrangement where OC San serves as
the purchaser. Accordingly, OC San is not subject to
the usual State restrictions surrounding the issuance of
debt. COPs can be issued with xed or variable
interest rates. As of July 1, 2025, the total outstanding
COP indebtedness is $572.0 million.
Dedicated Funding Source
In 1992 and 2004 the Board of Directors formalized the
dedication of certain funding sources. To assure the
continuation of favorable credit ratings, revenues were
dedicated to debt service in the following order:
BUDGET UPDATE - FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
This apportionment of the ad valorem tax was
consistent with and pursuant to the Revenue Program
adopted in April 1979 to comply with regulations of the
Environmental Protection Agency and the State Water
Resources Control Board and in accordance with COP
documents and Board policy.
Ad valorem property taxes1.
Sanitary sewer service charges2.
Other Revenues 3.
Build America Bonds Financing
OC San issued the $80.0 million Wastewater Revenue
Obligation, Series 2010A in May 2010 and the $157.0
million Wastewater Revenue Obligations, Series 2010C in
December 2010 as “Build America Bonds” (BABs) xed
rate debt.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
created a new nancing product, BABs, for the municipal
issuer. BABs are issued as higher interest taxable bonds;
however, the U.S. Treasury provides a 35 percent subsidy
on interest payments. The net cost, after accounting for
the 35 percent subsidy payment, frequently results in
lower net costs to the issuer, speci cally in the maturity
years beyond ten years.
On March 1, 2013, the federal government implemented
certain automatic spending cuts known as the sequester.
As a result of the sequester, federal subsidy payments on
BABs have been reduced annually from a high of 8.7
percent for the federal scal year ended September 30,
2013 to a low of 5.7 percent for the federal scal year
ended September 30, 2030.
In FY 2023-24, OC San prepaid approximately $130
million of the 2010C BABs debt obligation, reducing the
total term of the debt portfolio, with nal payment date in
2040.
Future Financings
As a result of having a prudent reserve policy, experienced
management and prudent planning, OC San has been
able to secure “AAA” credit ratings from Fitch Ratings,
Moody’s Investors Service and S&P Global Ratings. OC
San’s long-range nancing plan is designed to maintain
these high ratings. Over the next 10 years, OC San is
projecting an additional $3.6 billion in future treatment
plant and collection system capital replacement,
refurbishment and rehabilitation improvements. In
accordance with OC San’s long-term debt scal policy, OC
San will con ne long-term borrowing to capital
improvements that cannot be nanced from current
revenue. Before any new debt is issued, the impact of
debt service payments on total annual xed costs will be
analyzed.
OC San’s cash ow forecast does not require any new
money debt issuances over the next ten years as all
capital improvements planned over this time period
primarily consist of replacement, refurbishment and
rehabilitation of existing projects which are to be funded
through existing reserves and current sewer charges.

Description
This project will install a new public address system at both reclamation plants and the seven
coastal pump stations in Newport Beach. The new system will be an ethernet/IP based system and
will integrate into OC San’s other alert systems such as re and mass messaging.
Project Category
Public Address System Repl. - J-141
Utility Systems New
Justi cation
The current public address system is both nearing the end of its useful life and doesn’t provide the full desired
coverage of OC San’s facilities. Repairing the existing system is becoming increasingly di cult with some parts
becoming obsolete. A functional public address system is critical to maintaining safety at the reclamation plants and
critical pump stations during emergencies.

Currently OC San produces approximately 550 wet tons per day of Class B dewatered biosolids. The dewatered
biosolids are trucked to Arizona and various composting facilities within California. The hauling cost budget for 2025 is
approximately $14,000,000. Potential future regulations could limit OC San’s ability to bene cially reuse biosolids for
land application and options for disposal of biosolids are not guaranteed. Deep well injection of biosolids will provide
a reliable, long-term disposal option for biosolids and yield signi cant operational savings related to the dewatering
and hauling of biosolids.

Description
This project will replace the Waste Sidestream Pump Station A (WSSPS-A) pumps; repair the wet
well concrete; repair the pump pit surrounding tunnels; replace associated electrical equipment;
replace portions of the piping, valves and, ventilation equipment; and install a new 10-inch
discharge from WSSPS-A to the new A-side Primary Clari er Complex being constructed by Project
P2-98A.
Project Category
Waste Sidestream Pump Station A Impr. at P2 - P2-143
Support Facilities New
Justi cation
The WSSPS-A is located in a recessed area within Tremblay Tunnel that is subject to ooding. New pumps are
required to mitigate associated risks to assuring long-term operation and reliability. Structural rehabilitation and
equipment replacement is required due to age and associated conditions. Routing the WSSPS-A discharge to the A-
side Primary Clari er complex will prevent recirculation of scum which is currently causing process challenges
resulting in additional maintenance e orts.

SELF-FUNDED INSURANCE PLANS
Self-Funded Insurance Plans
OC San is partially self-insured for general liability and workers' compensation. The General Liability and Property
program and the Workers' Compensation program have been in existence since 1979. The annual in-lieu premiums and
charges to the Revenue Areas or Operating Divisions are the revenue sources within these programs. Expenses
primarily consist of claim settlements, legal fees, and excess loss insurance premiums. Ending Reserve Balances are
projected at $100,000,000.
General Liability and Property
OC San's current excess workers' compensation coverage has unlimited statutory coverage per occurrence and
$4 million employer's liability with a self-insured retention of $1 million per person per occurrence.
In order to maintain the reserve balance of $2 million for the Workers' Compensation program, appropriations for
in-lieu premiums charged to operating divisions are recommended $791,455 for FY 2025-26.
OC San's current outside excess general liability insurance coverage is $40 million per occurrence with an annual
aggregate limit and with a self-insured retention of $750,000.
OC San's current property insurance coverage is $1 billion for perils of re and $25 million for perils of ood,
subject to a self-insured retention of $1 million. OC San is partially self-insured for earthquake but does carry $25
million in coverage on 15 key structures with a $5 million deductible. OC San also has a $50 million sublimit for
builder's risk under the property insurance program to ensure upcoming construction projects are adequately
covered.
In order to maintain a reserve balance of $98 million for the Property and General Liability program,
appropriations for in-lieu premiums charged to the operating divisions are recommended at $4.6 million for FY
2025-26.

Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more
commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or Gann
Limit, was approved by California voters in 1979. The
Gann Limit placed limits on the amount of proceeds of
taxes that state and local governmental agencies can
receive and appropriate (authorize to spend) each year.
The limit is di erent for each agency and the limit
changes each year. The annual limit is based on the
amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be
spent in FY 1978-79 in each agency, modi ed for
changes in in ation and population in each subsequent
year.
Proposition 111 was passed by the State’s voters in June
1990. This legislation made changes to the manner in
which the Appropriations Limit is to be calculated:
The annual adjustment factors for in ation and
population have been changed. Instead of using
the lesser of California per capita income, or U.S.
CPI, each agency may choose either the growth
in the California per capita income, or the growth
in assessed valuation due to new nonresidential
construction within the agency. For population,
instead of using only the population growth of an
agency, each agency may choose to use the
population growth within its county. These are
both annual elections.
The revised annual adjustment factors will be
applied to the FY 1986-87 limit for most agencies
and each year in between in order to calculate
the FY 1990-91 limit. The actual limits for the
intervening years, however, are not a ected.
Expenditures for “quali ed capital outlay”, which
are capital assets with a value of more than
$100,000 and an expected life of 10 years or
more, are excluded from the limit.
An agency which exceeds the limit in any one
year may choose to not give a tax refund if they
fall below the limit in the next scal year. They
then have two more years to refund any
remaining excess or to obtain a successful
override vote.
In certain situations, proceeds of taxes may be
spent on emergencies without having to reduce
the limit in future years.
Each agency also conducts a review of its
Appropriations Limit during its annual nancial
audit.
The law requires a governing body to annually adopt, by
resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year,
along with a recorded vote regarding which of the annual
adjustment factors have been selected. The Orange
County Sanitation District’s appropriations limit and annual
adjustment factors are adopted at the same meeting as
the budget. The adjustment factors used for FY 2025-26
are the weighted average change in city population and
the change in state per capita personal income.
The following table shows the annual appropriations limit
for each of the last two scal years and for FY 2025-26.
The increase in the limit is based upon population
changes ranging from negative 0.41 percent to positive
0.68 percent for representative cities within the Orange
County Sanitation District’s service area and a per capita
personal income change of 6.44 percent, as provided by
the State Department of Finance.
Annual Appropriation Limits:
FY 2023-24
FY 2024-25
FY 2025-26
$137,371,868
$142,444,371
$151,435,847
As a result of the July 1998 consolidation of the Orange
County Sanitation District, a single limit is presented in
contrast to individual limits shown in years prior to 1998.
Population changes for representative cities have
continued to be used in order to ensure consistency and
to eliminate signi cant population growth in parts of the
county outside of Orange County Sanitation District’s
service area. This method results in a lower limit than
using the county-wide change.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS – A secondary biological wastewater treatment process where bacteria reproduce at a high rate with the introduction of excess air or oxygen and consume dissolved nutrients in the wastewater.
BENTHOS – The community of organisms, such as sea stars, worms, and shrimp, which live on, in, or near the seabed, also known as the benthic zone.
BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD) – The amount of oxygen used when organic matter undergoes decomposition by microorganisms. Testing for BOD is done to assess the amount of organic matter in water.
BIOGAS – A gas that is produced by the action of anaerobic bacteria on organic waste matter in a digester tank that can be used
as a fuel.
BIOSOLIDS – Biosolids are nutrient rich organic and highly treated solid materials produced by the wastewater treatment process. This high-quality product can be recycled as a soil amendment on farmland or further processed as an earth-like product for
commercial and home gardens to improve and maintain fertile soil and stimulate plant growth.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) – Projects for repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of assets. Also includes treatment improvements, additional capacity, and projects for the support facilities.
COLIFORM BACTERIA – A group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals, but also occasionally found elsewhere, used as indicators of sewage pollution. E. coli are the most common bacteria in wastewater.
COLLECTIONS SYSTEM – In wastewater, it is the system of typically underground pipes that receive and convey sanitary wastewater or storm water.
CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION (COP) – A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the lease revenues of a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues.
CONTAMINANTS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN (CPC) – Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants.
DILUTION TO THRESHOLD (D/T) – The dilution at which the majority of people detect the odor becomes the D/T for that air sample.
GREENHOUSE GASES (GHG) – In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming (“greenhouse effect”).
GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM (GWRS) – A joint water reclamation project that proactively responds to Southern California’s current and future water needs. This joint project between the Orange County Water District and OCSD provides 70
million gallons per day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
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.
SANTA ANA RIVER INTERCEPTOR (SARI) LINE – A regional brine line designed to convey 30 million gallons per day of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the ocean for disposal, after treatment.
SANITARY SEWER – Separate sewer systems specifically for the carrying of domestic and industrial wastewater.
SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT (SCAQMD) – Regional regulatory agency that develops plans and
regulations designed to achieve public health standards by reducing emissions from business and industry.
SECONDARY TREATMENT – Biological wastewater treatment, particularly the activated sludge process, where bacteria and other microorganisms consume dissolved nutrients in wastewater.
SLUDGE – Untreated solid material created by the treatment of wastewater.
TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS (TSS) – The amount of solids floating and in suspension in wastewater.
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
