REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACT N:

General
ISSUE: A resolution of the Board of Directors is required to accept and record Grants of
Easement.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution accepting a Grant of Easement, and
authorize recording of the easement deed with the Contra Costa County Recorder.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could elect to not accept the Grant
of Easement and rely on unrecorded implied or prescriptive rights for continued
operation and maintenance of the public sewer on the property. Staff does not
recommend this approach.
BACKGROUND: The easement at 166 Del Monte Drive is needed for an existing
sewer that was constructed in 1986 on this property instead of 160 Del Monte Drive.
The actual location of the sewer was determined after the property owners inquired
about building a house on the property and wanted to know where they could connect to
the sewer. The owners agreed to grant an 8 -foot easement to the District at no cost to
allow for the construction of their new house.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a resolution accepting a Grant of
Easement from Tai Chi Luong and Dan Liu, husband and wife as community property
with right of survivorship, and authorize staff to record the easement with the Contra
Costa County Recorder.

Candidate sewer line segments are identified, evaluated, and placed on a priority list for
replacement and /or renovation.
The Walnut Creek Sewer Renovation Phase 3 renovated and replaced 7,100 linear feet
of 6- and 8 -inch sewer lines in thirteen (13) locations within the City of Walnut Creek
and unincorporated Contra Costa County area. Construction of sewers in easements
involved close cooperation with customers for site access and restoration.
On June 2, 2005, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized the award of a contract for
the construction of the project to California Trenchless Inc. The Notice to Proceed was
issued on July 11, 2005. The work was substantially completed in December 2005.

chamber was noticeably deteriorated and the deterioration worsened with increase in
elevation. All carbon steel structures within the IDS (especially the two sluice gates that
stop flow from entering the Influent Structure from the IDS were severely corroded, and
the top concrete slab of the structure was in very poor condition.
On April 7, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the award of a construction contract

Board of Directors Meeting
February 2, 2006
PROPOSED WD" URPOSEI
— CURRENT RVVQCB
PROGRAM PURPOSE
• To reduce SSO's and associated health risks
and to establish a statewide minimum
requirement
Crews clean- sewage spill in L.A.
WORKERS CLEAN a sand berm as crews continue to pump out sewage on Manhattan Beach on
Monday. Miles of pristine beaches remained closed to swimmers and surfers in Los Angeles County
following a sewage spill, officials said. A pumping station temporarily failed Sunday, sending tens of
thousands of gallons of raw sewage spilling out of manholes and down flood control channels into the
ocean, said Joe Haworth, a spokesman for the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County.
DR WOULD
• Create a new, huge state regulatory permitting
program
• Shine bright light on collection systems and
SSO's
• Frame regulatory enforcement discretion for
SSO's
• Prescribe requirements for operation /
maintenance / management of collection
systems
• Require statewide electronic reporting
WHAT THE WDR IS NOT
• Protection against third party citizen lawsuits that
claim violations of the Clean Water Act due to
SSO's
• Explicit prohibition of SSO's
• Direct agency involvement in lateral / private
property issues
• An NPDES permit
FA
THE WDR APPLIES TO
All federal and state agencies, municipalities,
counties, districts, and other public entities that
own / operate sanitary sewer systems ... that convey
to a POTW
In 4 POTWs, satellites, public universities
Out + Trailer parks, private universities
? + DOD facilities
WDR
Defines SSO's As
Any overflow, spill, release, discharge,
or diversion of untreated wastewater from a
sanitary system including:
Wastewater backups into buildings and on private
property that are caused by blockages or flow
conditions within the publicly owned portion of a
sanitary sewer
Same as RWQCB
3
WDR REPORTING
e Report ALL SSO's
e Very similar to existing RWQCB requirements
WDR ON ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION
In any enforcement action, the State ... will
consider... efforts to contain, control, and clean up
SSO's...
Some want affirmative defense; some want certain
enforcement
4
DR REQUIRES SEWER SYSTEM
MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSMP)
• Very similar to existing RWQCB requirement,
except it requires
- Communication plan
- Adoption by governing body
OTHER
• Cost Analysis - $70 + per year
• Public hearing - February 8, 20000
- NPDES vs. WDR
- Affirmative defense vs. certain enforcement
• Interface with existing programs
- RWQCB
- NPDES permit
5
IMPACT ON DISTRICT
• Increase third -party focus / Regulator focus
• Need to sustain continuous improvement at CSO
- Board adopt the SSMP
- Development of a Communication Plan
• Need to "stay ahead of the curve"

CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SANITATION AGENCIES MID -YEAR
CONFERENCE — JANUARY 18 - 21, 2006
The California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) Mid -Year Conference
highlights included state budgetary items, federal legislation, the statewide sanitary
sewer overflow waste discharge permit and sewer lateral issues, new sludge
management options, and emergency response approaches. Slides for most
presentations are available. Please let me know if you want more information on a
presentation, and I will forward it to you. I have attached the following handouts for your
information:
➢ CASA Mid -Year Conference Program
➢ General Session Agenda
➢ CASA Executive Director's Report
➢ The Washington Report
➢ Regulatory Bulletin
➢ Biosolids Bulletin
➢ Legal Affairs Update
➢ List of Pre - Registered Attendees
➢ CASA Water Issues Forum Agenda
➢ CASA Air Issues Forum Agenda
➢ CASA Land Issues Forum Agenda
➢ Federal Legislative and Liaison Committee Meeting Agenda
➢ CASA State Legislative Committee Agenda
STATE ACTIVITIES
The Executive Director's Report does an excellent job summarizing state activities, but I
want to highlight that this year marks the end of Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund shifts from our property taxes. With the passage of Proposition 1A, it will take a
vote of the people to shift the funds again. Also, passage of Assembly Bill 1234, which
requires ethics training for designated employees starting this year, has led CASA to
offer ethics training at the CASA Annual Conference in August.

FEDERAL LEGISLATION
A House of Representatives' bill introduced in late 2005 proposed the Clean Water
Trust Fund Act of 2005. The bill proposes a trust fund for funding infrastructure, but it
did not address the question of who pays the tax to support the fund. The CASA
Federal Legislative Committee opposed the trust fund bill. There is also a possibility
that legislation might narrow third -party lawsuits and modify the conflict of interest
requirements for governing body officials.
RECENT SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW and RELATED DEVELOPMENTS
State Water Resources Control Board ( SWRCB) staff has developed a proposed waste
discharge requirement (WDR) to reduce sanitary sewer overflows. The SWRCB will
hold a public hearing on the WDR on February 8. Much of the proposed WDR is almost
identical to our new Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements for online
reporting requirements and implementation of sewer system management plans. The
WDR also includes enforcement guidance, requires the governing body to approve the
Sewer System Master Plan (SSMP), and requires a communication plan to be
developed and carried out. While this is a far - reaching regulation, it will not have a
huge impact on the District because we are in the process of implementing much of
what the new WDR will require. There was also a session that presented three
agencies' experience with sewer lateral testing programs. Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary
District was unable to implement a program due to protest from the realtor community.
Stege Sanitary District recently implemented a lateral program amid protest from
realtors, and now, the realtors have used the program as a sales tool. Truckee Sanitary
District has a long- standing successful program, and believes it is one of the tools an
agency needs to have to minimize infiltration and overflows. As the new WDR is
implemented, it is expected that more enforcement pressure will be applied to collection
agencies to reduce overflows and lateral testing programs will be one of the tools the
agencies will be expected to evaluate to reduce their overflows.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Three different emergency response programs were described: national, state, and
local agency. The state program is a mutual assistance program comprised mainly of
water agencies and a few wastewater agencies. It is a volunteer program that has been
successfully used for over ten years and is cost -free to join. The Mutual Assistance
Agreement allows help to respond faster, sets forth terms and conditions for assistance,
helps with Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursement, and is consistent
with the national response program. The District is investigating. the value of joining the
state mutual assistance agreement. The local example was Oro Loma Sanitary
District's program, which is simple and straightforward. It focuses on keeping the
response plan up -to -date and testing it with all personnel, since you never know who
will be on hand when an emergency occurs.

Report of Special Districts Association Meeting by
Mario Menesini (February 2, 2006 Board Meeting)
Curt Swanson and I attended the Contra Costa Special
Districts Association meeting in Pleasant Hill on January 23rd.
The main topic was a presentation about delta levee
maintenance by the Iron Horse Sanitary District and their
engineering consultant. The Iron Horse District owns Jersey
Island in the delta, which they use for disposal of biosolids
and treated wastewater.
As an outcome of Assembly Bill 1234, all directors of special
districts, including all of us here at Central Sanitary, are
required to attend ethics training. The training must be
completed by January 1, 2007, and then retaken every two
years. The California Special Districts Association has
developed a 2 -hour ethics training course and will be
scheduling training sessions statewide.
On the legislative front, various Senate and Assembly
Committees started hearings on the infrastructure bond
proposals made by the Governor in his State of the State
Address.
The Special Districts Association is sponsoring Government
Affairs Day in Sacramento on April 18th. This is an
opportunity to meet with state legislators and discuss issues
of interest to special districts.
Finally, CSDA Annual Conference will be held September 25
to 28 at the Inn at Squaw Creek in the North Lake Tahoe
area.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: February 2, 2006 No.: 6.a. ENGINEERING
Type of Action: AUTHORIZE AGREEMENT
subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT
WITH MOUNTAIN VIEW SANITARY DISTRICT FOR CCCSD TO PROVIDE
POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM SUPPORT
Submitted By:
Timothy Potter, Source Control Program
Superintendent
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
Q N,
T. Potter A. Farre . Alm
Initiating Dept/Div.:
Engineering /Environmental Services
General
ISSUE: Mountain View Sanitary District (MVSD) has requested that the District provide
services to support the MVSD Pollution Prevention Program. The Board of Director's
authorization is required for agreements with other public agencies.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve entering into this agreement with MVSD and authorize
the General Manager to execute the agreement that would establish this interagency
partnership.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The proposed agreement provides for full cost recovery. The
estimated budget for fiscal year 2005 -06 is $15,000 and for fiscal year 2006 -07 is
$24,000. The staff time used to provide the services will not be available to perform
other District functions.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board may decline to enter into this
agreement, however this is not recommended. Source Control Inspectors already work
in the MVSD service area when completing work under the Clean Water Program
(CWP) inspection services agreement for the City of Martinez. Some of the additional
40 inspections per year can be combined with current inspections in Martinez, and the
total number is incidental when compared to the more than 1000 inspections completed
annually by District inspectors.
BACKGROUND: In the past, MVSD has used an employee to conduct their Pollution
Prevention Program. Several years ago this employee retired from MVSD but agreed
to continue supporting the Pollution Prevention Program as a contract employee.
Recently, the contract employee notified MVSD of her intent to fully retire and end the
contract employee relationship as of December 2005. The MVSD Pollution Prevention
Program work requires part -time coverage and draws on diverse skills. The scope of
services for this agreement would include conducting 40 annual inspections of
businesses in the MVSD service area that could discharge pollutants identified in the

MVSD list of pollutants of concern, and preparing the Annual Pollution Prevention
Report with input and oversight of MVSD staff. The District has the capability to perform
this work since it is similar to the work performed for its own Source Control /Pollution
Prevention Program. MVSD recognized this capability and approached the District to
provide these services.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager to execute an
agreement to establish an interagency partnership to support MVSD's Pollution
Prevention Program.

ISSUE: Board authorization is required to deploy District staff and equipment out of
state to work with another utility.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the General Manager to deploy
up to 12 District staff, equipment and resources to aid recovery of utilities in New
Orleans, approve associated expenditures, and authorize execution of any agreements
or related documents in connection therewith.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The financial impact is estimated to be $325,000. The Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) could reimburse some, if not all, of these
costs.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Do not participate in this phase of the relief
effort; find an alternate method for the District to provide relief; or participate at a lower
level.
BACKGROUND: The aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in New Orleans and
throughout the Southeast has left the area without the basic utilities needed to start the
recovery process. The Portland Water Bureau has assisted the Sewer and Water
Board of New Orleans ( SWBNO) from September through December by providing field
staff, equipment, and engineers to help restart the SWBNO water, drainage, and
sanitary sewer systems. East Bay Municipal Utility District ( EBMUD) is leading a group
of California agencies that will provide continued assistance to the SWBNO starting in
late February 2006. The District has been working with EBMUD and the other coalition
agencies to plan and coordinate this relief effort.

THEREWITH
Representatives of the coalition agencies made a trip to New Orleans on January 23
through January 25, 2006. Associate Engineer Craig Mizutani and Shift Supervisor
Bruce Dobey represented the District by attending planning meetings and touring the
base camp and the facilities where the work would be performed. Based on needed
staffing, the District has appropriate personnel to help SWBNO in its recovery efforts.
More information about the relief effort is contained in Attachment 1. While on site,
Messrs. Mizutani and Dobey reviewed the camp and work areas for safety and security.
The security for the camp and work area was well laid out and adequate. Regarding
safety, Messrs. Mizutani and Dobey observed several work areas and, based on these
observations, concluded that while some of the facilities were 50 to 100 years old, their
design and safety features were adequate for safe operation.
EBMUD will be the lead agency, and as such, will request reimbursement for costs from
FEMA. This will be done through an Emergency Management Assistance Compact
(EMAC), which is an interstate agreement administered through the states of California
and Louisiana Offices of Emergency Service. The EMAC provides a framework for
reimbursement of labor and equipment costs that can be used in disasters. It is
anticipated that the District may also need to execute the EMAC agreement, and
potentially other yet- to -be- identified agreements to participate in this effort.
Additional costs will be incurred prior to mobilization, including but not limited to, the
costs of planning for deployment, physical examinations and inoculations for
volunteers.
Over 40 District employees volunteered to aid SWBNO; there are approximately 12
volunteers that could fill roles in the relief effort. In addition, up to three District vehicles
may be needed in the effort. The 12 District employees (and two backups) have been
briefed on vaccination requirements, pre - deployment medical physical, housing, and
deployment conditions.
The District would benefit by staff experiencing emergency response actions and
mobilization efforts. Furthermore, staff would be working with an emergency command
team under real disaster recovery conditions. The District is currently working on
improving its Emergency Response Plan and updating its disaster preparation
procedures. The experience of these employees would be invaluable in that effort.

Staff recommends that the Board authorize the District to deploy volunteer District
employees to assist in New Orleans, and to authorize associated expenditures for their
vaccinations, physicals, travel expenses, tools, and equipment. It is anticipated that
these expenses will be reimbursed by FEMA; however, this is not certain.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the General
Manager to deploy up to 12 District staff, equipment, and resources to aid recovery of
utilities in New Orleans as recommended; approve associated expenditures; and
authorize execution of any agreements or related documents in connection therewith.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING
AID RECOVERY OF UTILITIES IN NEW ORLEANS
East Bay Municipal Utility District ( EBMUD) is leading a group of California
agencies, including San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, Marin Municipal
Water District, San Jose Water Company, Santa Clara Water District, and others
that will provide continued assistance to the State Water Board of New Orleans
(SWBNO) starting in late February 2006. The District has been working with
EBMUD and the other coalition agencies to plan and coordinate this relief effort.
EBMUD will be the lead agency, and as such, will request reimbursement for
costs from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This will be
done through an Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), which
is an interstate agreement administered through the states of California and
Louisiana Offices of Emergency Service. The EMAC provides a framework for
reimbursement of labor and equipment costs that can be used in disasters.
Through the EMAC, District workers in New Orleans would be paid and covered
by insurance as though they were working here at the District. At this time it is
expected that much of the out -of- pocket expenses would be reimbursed by
FEMA if the EMAC were approved. SWBNO's vehicles and tools were damaged
or lost in the hurricane, so EBMUD will ship vehicles and tools to New Orleans
via freight. EBMUD is committed to provide one month of relief and expects to
deploy its staff in two, two -week periods. Based on SWBNO's and EBMUD's
current projected needs and from information from meetings with the State of
Louisiana, the California coalition is expected to be approximately 150 people.
Based on the SWBNO's current needs assessment, the California coalition will
likely be providing assistance in the following roles:
• Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineers
• Electricians
• Computer -Aided Design (CAD) Operator
• Mill Workers
• Industrial Waste Monitors
• Water Quality Laboratory Technicians
• Machinists and mechanics
• Welders
• Instrumentation Technicians
• Carpenters
• Pumping Station Operators
The needed roles could change, as could the information provided below
because conditions are changing quickly on the ground in New Orleans. The
N: \POSUP \Correspondence \Position Papers\2006 \New Orleans - Attach 1.doc Page 4 of 7
details of the deployment are currently in the planning stages. Details known to
date are as follows:
• Workers would fly to Louisiana, travel to be arranged and paid for by the
District.
• Workers would be shuttled directly from the airport to their housing.
• Workers will be housed in a tent camp at the Carrolton Water Treatment
Plant, with security provided by a private security company. SWBNO will pay
for the housing, meals, and security.
• The District will pay workers their usual District wages.
• The deployment would be in late February through late March 2006.
• EBMUD is planning to set up two -week rotations so that no individual
employee will be away from home longer than two weeks, unless they
choose to be away longer. The District proposes to also send people in two -
week rotations.
• Agencies are being asked to make a one -month commitment, which means
there would be two rotations of approximately two weeks.
• There might be significant overtime, which would be paid at the usual
overtime rate.
• The anticipated work schedule is to work six days a week, 8 hours regular
time, 2 hours overtime, with the remaining time as standby. Sunday is
designated as a day off. All employees will be on mandatory on call for their
entire deployment.
• District tools, equipment, and vehicles will also be sent (shipped freight by
EBMUD).
• A command team comprised of coalition members will supervise staff (and all
workers in the coalition).
• Meals will be provided on -site.
• Shower, laundry, and sanitary services are provided on -site.
• Emergency medical services, if needed, will be available.
• A medical screening process and inoculations are underway. Employees
must pass the physical screening and be deemed fit prior to deployment.
• Alcohol is prohibited in the base camp.
• Failure to obey camp rules will result in the violator being sent home.
