3. Debrief on calendar year 2015 recycled water, including Residential Fill Station, cost
of program, etc. and proposals for 2016 recycled water program
Mr. Wyatt presented the information provided with the agenda materials. He
reviewed the 2015 Residential Fill Station statistics, noting that over 11 million gallons
were dispensed, and there were over 55,000 visits. The total cost for the program in
2015 was $275,425.
June through October were the busiest months, and during those peak months, wait
times averaged up to 50 minutes. Currently, the vehicle capacity is 467 cars per day.
Mr. Wyatt explained the plan for 2016 to accommodate 500 cars per day at the fill
station located behind the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility. To increase
the availability, the plan is to use the new automated truck fill station at the Kiewit
property, which should be completed by the start of summer. Repeat customers who
come several times daily and those with larger storage tanks would be directed to
use this site instead of the HHW to relieve traffic and reduce wait time.
Member Nejedly expressed concern with the lengthy wait times, especially with
potential increased demand in the coming months. Chair McGill agreed, and added
that if wait times decrease, the volume of water taken should increase. Both
Committee members agreed that the wait times need to improve during peak times,
as 50 minutes is unreasonably long. Mr. Bailey stated that staff will explore options
to expand service and decrease wait times.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the information and provided input to staff.
4.* Review draft Position Paper to amend an existing agreement with RMC Water and
Environment to pursue further development of alternatives identified in the Wholesale
Recycled Water Opportunities Study
Ms. LaBella showed two slides from the RMC Water and Environment presentation at
the February 18, 2016 Board Meeting (attached). The slides showed the preferred
alternatives that were presented, and the next steps, which would be undertaken by
RMC if the existing agreement is amended.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and recommended Board approval.
5. Receive update on Assembly Bill 129 related to furnaces and air emissions
Ms. Cheng presented the slides included with the agenda materials. 129 Regulations
set emission limits for nine pollutants, five of which were not required in the past. The
caustic injection system has been tested on Multiple Hearth Furnace (MHF)
No. 1, and passed all limits.

Ms. Cheng explained that staff is waiting for a response from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA) on the new Minimum Operating Limits,
and until a response is received, the current Title 5 requirements will remain.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
6. Review draft Position Paper authorizing the General Manager to enter into a
Professional Services Agreement with Blue Sky Environmental, Inc., in the amount of
$141,510 to conduct the required compliance demonstration source test on MHF
No. 2 and evaluate HCI emissions while operating the new Caustic Injection System
Ms. Cheng reviewed the background information during the presentation of Item 5.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and recommended Board approval
7. Review proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between East Bay
Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, and the
Moraga Country Club regarding Satellite Water Recycling Facility (SWRF)
Mr. Petit explained that this item was previously discussed in 2014; however, it never
went to the Board, and at that time EBMUD was not a party to the MOU. He
explained that this MOU is similar to the MOU with Diablo Country Club, with a third
party agreeing in concept of the project.
Ms. Gemmell pointed out that some additional minor changes also have been made
to the MOU, which is intended to be brought before the full Board on April 7.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and recommended Board approval.
8. Receive update on bird control at the Kiewit property
Ms. Gemmell stated that she has contacted the airport, and there have been no
issues with birds. District operations staff have been checking the bird sound boxes
regularly, and they are planning to expand the boxes around the Treatment Plant as
well.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
9. Review Parking Lot items
Chair McGill and Member Nejedly reviewed the parking lot items and made no
changes.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the information.
