RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the San Ramon Forcemain
Mitigation Project, District Project 5924, and authorize filing of the Notice of Completion.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion
is advisable under the California Civil Code, Section 3093.
BACKGROUND: In 2002, the District installed 12,800 feet of 24 -inch forcemain from
the San Ramon Pumping Station to 700 feet north of Norris Canyon Road along the
Iron Horse Trail Corridor. The City of San Ramon's Encroachment Permit for the
project required the installation of landscape to mitigate the impacts of construction on
the Iron Horse Trail. The project provided landscaping planting at six of the entrances
to the Iron Horse Trail Corridor.
On September 21, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the award of a contract for
the construction of the project to American Civil Constructors. The Notice to Proceed
was issued on October 23, 2006. The construction work was substantially completed
on January 11, 2007. The remaining items of work consist of minor punch -list items,
which do not affect the project acceptance.

RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the Low Voltage Power Circuit

of the Notice of Completion.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not Applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion
is advisable under California Civil Code Section 3093.
BACKGROUND: Most of the electrical switchgear in the treatment plant was installed
in the mid -1970s and is nearly 30 years old. In 2003 and 2004, District staff conducted
an inspection and test program to assess the condition of treatment plant switchgear
and to prioritize needed improvements. The low voltage (480 volt) General Electric
circuit breakers in Electrical Substation 40 were identified as the most problematic and
in need of improvement due to their failure to trip under overload or fault conditions.
Electrical Substation 40 provides power to the Filter Plant for recycled water and in-
plant water use.
On April 20, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the award of a contract for the
construction of the project to Poscon Electric, Inc. The Notice to Proceed was issued
on July 17, 2006. The project was substantially complete on December 31, 2006. The
remaining items of work consist of minor punch -list items that do not affect the project

ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the Morello Bridges Repair Project,
District Project 5642, and the work is now ready for acceptance.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the Morello Bridges Repair Project,
DP 5642, and authorize filing of the Notice of Completion.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion
is advisable under the California Civil Code, Section 3093.
BACKGROUND: The District sewer was suspended beneath two wooden pedestrian
bridges in 1981 to serve Hidden Valley Estates in Martinez. At that time, ownership of
the bridges and responsibility for continued maintenance was not established. Over
time, the wooden support structure of the bridges deteriorated and, in late 2002, it was
established that the bridges were failing and should be closed to pedestrian traffic.
Because the District's sewer supported by the bridges was at risk, the District explored
a joint solution with the City.
On January 12, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the President of the Board of
Directors and the Secretary of the District to execute a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA)
in the approximate amount of $200,000 with the City of Martinez for the Morello Bridges
Repair Project, DP 5642 (Hidden Lakes Park Bridge Replacement). As part of the JPA,
the City of Martinez would assume future responsibility for maintenance of the bridge.
The existing 8 -inch sewer line was replaced at the same time the City of Martinez
replaced the bridges. Additionally, a sewer spot repair was completed immediately
downstream of the bridges.

ISSUE: Board approval is required for License Agreements.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute a "Mutual Consent
to Extend License" agreement with the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) for the
Lafayette /Moraga Regional Trail at the Moraga Pumping Station.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could reject extension of the license,
and either order the EBRPD to vacate the property or direct staff to negotiate a new
License Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The District and EBRPD entered into a 25 -year license agreement on
December 8, 1981 for the construction, reconstruction, maintenance, removal, and use
of a trail for the passage of pedestrians, equestrians, and bicycles over a specific area
of the Moraga Pumping Station as shown on the attached map. The license expired on
December 8, 2006. EBRPD requested a 25 -year extension of the license on March 8,
2006. District staff reviewed the existing license and determined that the existing terms
and conditions would sufficiently protect the District for another 25 years.
The terms include the requirement that EBRPD maintain the site in a clean and
presentable condition free from waste and weeds; indemnify and hold harmless the
District against any and all loss, damage, liability ...of whatever character, whether
direct or consequential caused by the use of the property; and maintain $5,000,000 in
liability insurance.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager to execute a
"Mutual Consent to Extend License" agreement with the East Bay Regional Park District

lodging is estimated at $2000. The Engineering Department is expected to significantly
under spend their training budget for the year, even with this additional expenditure.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board may elect to forego staff attendance
at this conference.
BACKGROUND: Each year the California Association of Sanitation Agencies
organizes a conference for a delegation of elected officials from CASA agencies and
their staff to travel to Washington, D.C. to meet with elected representatives and further
the goals and agenda of the individual agencies and CASA. Our District has typically
sent one staff and one Board member to this conference. Ann E. Farrell, Director of
Engineering, was recently named the vice chair of the CASA Federal Legislative
Committee and is participating in organizing the conference and in identifying and
developing issue papers to share with the elected representatives. She has also been
asked to moderate one of the panel discussions. Therefore, Ms. Farrell is respectively
requesting your approval to attend this unbudgeted conference.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Approve attendance of Ann E. Farrell at the
annual California Association of Sanitation Agencies Washington, D.C. conference on
March 12 -14, 2007.

Submitted By: Elaine R. Boehme Initiating Dept /Div.: Administration
Secretary of the District
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
ISSUE: The Board will determine whether or not it wishes to revise the current Board
Member compensation of $170 per day of service.
RECOMMENDATION: Determine whether the Board wishes to revise the current
compensation of $170 per day of service, and if it wishes to establish an annual review
of Board Member compensation. If an adjustment is desired, adopt an ordinance
(Attachment A) amending the Board Member compensation.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If any revisions are made to the compensation, there may be a
resulting increase in Board Member compensation. The maximum increase permissible
under Health and Safety Code Section 6489 and Water Code Section 20202 would
increase the compensation by $51 to $221 per day of service, not to exceed six days
per calendar month. If all Board Members attended the maximum permitted six
meetings per month, the maximum budget impact would be $18,360 per year.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board may decide it does not wish to
amend Board Member compensation. The Board may decide to increase
compensation by an amount less than the permitted 5% per year.
BACKGROUND: On December 21, 2000, the Board adopted Ordinance 215, which
increased the Board compensation from $100 (approved in 1987) to $170 per day of
service, effective March 1, 2001. The number of services days is limited by the Health
and Safety Code to no more than six days of service per calendar month. Board
Member compensation has not been revised or reviewed since 2000.
Health and Safety Code Section 6489 (Attachment B) states that the Board may, by
ordinance adopted pursuant to Water Code Section 20202 (Attachment C), increase its
compensation above the $100 per day permitted by the Health and Safety Code.

increases have been considered since that time. The Board may approve up to a 30%
increase in compensation to capture the permitted increases not taken in 2001 -2007
(up to 5% per year for six years). If the permitted annual increases are approved, they
cannot be compounded for each prior year.
The Board may approve an increase of any amount up to the full 5% per calendar year.
If the permitted 5% per year is approved for this adjustment, the Board Member
compensation will increase from the current $170 per meeting to $221 per meeting. If
the compensation had been increased by 5% each year since 2001 and been
compounded, the current compensation would be $228 per meeting.
A survey was conducted of Board Member compensation at nearby sanitary districts
(Attachment D). That chart is also attached for reference, showing where the Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District falls in the range. Other agencies' Board Members may
receive higher compensation due to compounding of annual increases in prior years.
The Board may also wish to consider incorporating into the ordinance a yearly
compensation review. This would need to be done by public hearing each year. An
increase of up to 5% may be adopted once at any time in each calendar year. For
example, the public hearings could be held in June of each year with the annual budget
hearings, and any increase would be effective after sixty days later, since there is a 60-
day adoption period before the ordinance becomes effective.
If the Board today adopts an ordinance amending the compensation, it will take effect
on April 16, 2007, in accordance with Water Code Section 20204, which states that the
ordinance cannot be effective until 60 days after its passage.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION:
Determine whether or not the Board wishes to change the Board Member
compensation, and by what amount.
Determine if an annual review is desired, and if so, determine time frame.
Adopt an ordinance amending the Board Member compensation and including an
annual compensation review if desired.

REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
�.
ISSUE: The Board must conduct a public hearing to consider a resolution to adopt
modifications to the Local Discharge Limits required under the Federal Pretreatment
Regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 403.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution to accept the proposed modifications to the
Local Discharge Limits used to protect the District's operations.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District will not incur any direct expenses for implementing
the modified local limits. Indirect costs will be incurred as more businesses are issued
Industrial User Permits under the proposed tiered limits for copper, lead, mercury, and
cyanide. The District could be subject to citation and assessment of penalties by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) or the SF Bay Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) if the Local Discharge Limits are not modified to account for
significantly lower effluent limitations in the NPDES Permit issued to the District.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Establishment and implementation of Local
Discharge Limits is mandated under Federal Pretreatment Regulations according to the
guidelines and models established by the USEPA. The alternative to this action is to
discontinue with adopting the proposed modifications and attempt to develop different
Local Discharge Limits that can be approved by the USEPA and the RWQCB.
BACKGROUND: Local Discharge Limits are required to be established under the
Federal Pretreatment Regulations contained in 40 CFR Part 403. Local Discharge
Limits apply to industrial and commercial dischargers to the District's collection system
and treatment plant and specifically regulate the amounts of various pollutants of
concern that can be discharged. As part of the NPDES Permit renewal process, the
District is required to conduct a Technical Review of the Local Discharge Limits
considering changes to the treatment plant operations, permit conditions or changes in
the composition of the businesses discharging to the District's system. The District

completed the Technical Review of the Local Discharge Limits for the current NPDES
Permit that was effective on July 1, 2001, and determined that several of the District's
Local Discharge Limits warranted formal evaluation and possible modification as a
result of changes in effluent limitations contained in the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System ( NPDES) issued to the District.
The District submitted a Local Limits Evaluation report to the RWQCB in December
2004 using the procedures and models set by the USEPA for calculating Local
Discharge Limits. The report recommended that most of the current Local Discharge
Limits be maintained at their current levels but that the limits for arsenic, copper, lead,
mercury, zinc, and cyanide should be lowered in order to properly protect the District's
treatment plant operations. In addition, the report recommended that rather than
establish numeric Local Discharge Limits for certain pollutant parameters (e.g. dioxin
compounds, PCBs, tributyltin) that discharge prohibitions would provide adequate
control strategies. In September 2006, the RWQCB responded to the December 2004
report requesting that more data and information be provided. The District provided the
additional information and data to which the RWQCB determined the Local Limits
Evaluation packet was complete and that the new Local Limits should be implemented.
The District will complete an additional Technical Review of the Local Discharge Limits
in response to the new NPDES Permit adopted by the RWQCB in January 2007, with
the expectation that the proposed modifications being considered under this position
paper will be sufficiently protective of the District's operations and not require immediate
modifications.
The District's Source Control Section hosted three workshops for businesses currently
operating under an Industrial User (IU) permit (one on December 15, 2006 and two on
January 8, 2007, all at the District's Multi- Purpose Room in Martinez), and four
workshops for businesses not currently permitted (two on December 18, 2006 at the
District's Multi- Purpose Room in Martinez, and two on January 9, 2007 at the City
Council Chambers in downtown Walnut Creek). Fifteen people representing 13
permitted businesses attended the Permitted IU workshops, while 13 people
representing 11 unpermitted businesses attended the unpermitted IU workshops. The
feedback received from the businesses' representatives was positive.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: After conducting a public hearing to receive
comments on the resolution, adopt the resolution to accept the proposed modifications
to the Local Discharge Limits used to protect the District's operations with an effective
date of September 1, 2007 to begin implementing the modified Local Discharge Limits.

CCCSD LIST OF TOTAL TOXIC ORGANIC (TTO) POLLUTANTS
SUBJECT TO TTO LOCAL LIMIT OR TTO MANAGEMENT PLAN
The District's Local Discharge Limits include a parameter called Total Toxic Organics (TTO) with a limit set at 2.10
mg /L. The EPA has created a list of priority organic pollutants which cumulatively make up the District's TTO
parameter. The analysis methods set forth in 40 CFR Part 136, Methods 624, 625, and 608, provide data on the TTO
constituents. Method 608 may not always be required. Unless specifically required, Method 1613 for dioxin
compounds is not mandatory for routine analysis of TTO constituents. The constituents with concentrations greater
than 0.01 mg /L must be added together to determine compliance with the District's Local Discharge Limit for TTO.

ISSUE: The Board must conduct a public hearing in order to adopt modifications to
Title 10 of the District Code (Source Control Ordinance); an ordinance that is required
under the Federal Pretreatment Regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Part 403.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the ordinance incorporating the proposed modifications
to Title 10 of the District Code (Source Control Ordinance) .
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District will not incur any direct expenses for implementing
the modifications to the Source Control Ordinance. Indirect costs will be incurred as the
conditions of the ordinance are applied to businesses.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The alternative to this action is to not
implement the proposed modifications to Title 10 of the District Code and continue to
operate under the current provisions of Title 10. If the proposed modifications to Title
10 were not adopted, then a separate process would need to be taken to incorporate
the mandatory elements of the Pretreatment Streamlining Rule adopted by the US
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in October 2005 into the District's Source
Control Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The legal authority and elements contained in the Source Control
Ordinance are required to be established under the Federal Pretreatment Regulations
contained in 40 CFR Part 403. Several developments prompt the District to revise the
Source Control Ordinance: adoption of the Pretreatment Streamlining Rule by the
USEPA, statewide standards for controlling Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) wastes as part
of the Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (SSMP) programs, implementation of control
strategies for certain pollutants identified in the Local Discharge Limits Evaluation
Report, and the option to increase standards to ensure the District's operations are
protected from the disposal of process wastewater to the sanitary sewer system.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: February 15, 2007
subject: CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS
TO TITLE 10 OF THE DISTRICT CODE
The Pretreatment Streamlining Rule contained both mandatory elements that need to
be incorporated into the District's Pretreatment Program and optional elements that can
be incorporated if selected by the District. Most of the mandatory elements of the
Pretreatment Streamlining Rule were already present in the District's Source Control
Ordinance and procedures. The one mandatory element that needs to be incorporated
into the Source Control Ordinance is to the definition of Significant Non - Compliance
(SNC) in Section 10.12.100 regarding the publication of the businesses in SNC.
Examples of the optional elements of the Pretreatment Streamlining Rule include:
• Section 10.16.110. C. - Other changes to the definition of SNC (e.g. allowing
required reports to be 45 days after the due date versus the previous standard of
30 days late);
• Section 10.04.020 FF. and 10.12.060 A.4. - Incorporating new levels of oversight
for businesses subject to federal categorical pretreatment standards (e.g. Non -
Significant Categorical User, reduced monitoring for Categorical pollutant
parameters not present);
• Section 10.04.020 C. and 10.08.130 - Enabling Best Management Practices to
be used to control process discharges in lieu of numerical discharge limitations.
The recently adopted statewide standards for maintaining wastewater collections
systems to reduce or eliminate sanitary sewer overflows under the SSMP program
requires that a FOG control program be effectively implemented. The District's FOG
control program is effective but through experience enhancements have been identified
that can improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of this program related to
controlling sources of FOG wastes discharged to the District's collection system.
Examples of the proposed changes to the Source Control Ordinance to improve the
FOG control standards include:
Section 10.32.035 - Establish clear operation and maintenance standards for
traps and interceptors used to remove FOG and other pollutants from the
process wastewater discharged from food service facilities and other service
businesses such as vehicle service facilities;
Section 10.08.055 - Establish clear standards to require waste haulers to
document the disposal facility used to process the waste being removed from the
generator's site. This standard is already in place for the transportation of
hazardous wastes but will improve the documentation available to the District to
verify the proper disposal of FOG and septage waste.
The Local Discharge Limits Evaluation Report identified a discharge prohibition as a
viable control strategy for certain pollutants rather than setting a numeric limit that would
be very low and possibly under the analytical detection limit for the parameter.

subject. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS
TO TITLE 10 OF THE DISTRICT CODE
• Section 10.08.040 P. - Establishes the discharge prohibition standard for specific
pollutant parameters (e.g. dioxin compounds, PCBs).
Adopting the remaining recommended modifications to clarify the standards will
enhance the Source Control Ordinance and its effectiveness to protect the District's
operation. The issues addressed by the proposed modifications have been identified
through the oversight inspections performed by the SF Bay Regional Water Quality
Control Board and from experience implementing the program. Examples of these
modifications being proposed under this proposal include:
• Section 10. 12.060 A.4. - Clarifying the authority of the District to use professional
judgment when selecting pollutants to be analyzed as part of a permitted
business's monitoring program (e.g. analysis methods to demonstrate
compliance with the Total Toxic Organic limit);
• Section 10.08.050 - Clarifying the applicability of the unauthorized discharge
location to include maintenance structures on private property (e.g. manholes,
clean - outs).
The District's Source Control Section hosted three workshops for businesses currently
operating under an Industrial User (IU) permit (one on December 15, 2006, and two on
January 8, 2007 all at the District's Multi- Purpose Room in Martinez), and four
workshops for businesses not currently permitted (two on December 18, 2006 at the
District's Multi- Purpose Room in Martinez, and two on January 9, 2007 at the City
Council Chambers in downtown Walnut Creek). Fifteen people representing 13
permitted businesses attended the Permitted IU workshops, while 13 people
representing 11 unpermitted businesses attended the unpermitted IU workshops. The
feedback received from the businesses' representatives was positive.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: After conducting a public hearing to receive
comments on the proposed modifications to Title 10, adopt the ordinance incorporating
the proposed modifications to Title 10 of the District Code (Source Control Ordinance)
with a two effective dates: effective seven days from publication of the ordinance for the
elements contained in the Pretreatment Streamlining Rule; and June 1, 2007 for all
other proposed modifications.

10.12.020 Responsibility of tf,er- Users.
... ... .- It shall be the responsibility of the user and /or discharger to comply with all of
the provisions of this 6t4i-- Source Control Ordinance. I The omission to act by the District
and /or the failure of the District to take cognizance of the nature of the operation of the
user and /or the properties of the ffser�user's wastewater, shall not relieve the user of
responsibility to comply with the conditions of this t4 +k- Ordinance, including, but not limited
to, such requirements regarding permitting, t4i,- pretreatment, monitoring, and reporting._ It
shall be the responsibility of the user to make determinations as to the nature of its
operation and wastewater flow and to take such actions as may be required under this
ftfk-Ordinance prior to any discharge of wastewater, whether or not the user has been
informed by the District of the requirements which may apply to the user regarding its
discharge.
- All industrial users who meet the definition of Class I or II and who are
currently connected or contribute to the .i,= =� -- District's facilities, or who propose to
connect or contribute to the District facilities, shall make application for a wastewater
discharge permit._ This application shall be made before connecting to or contributing to
the 'facilities, or within ninety L9O days after the enactment ofr<<�rrffifkf }�_
21
t:i,difietj iii this t4tie Ordinance in the event the user is currently connected and not currently
permitted._ All existing industrial users connected to or contributing to the District's
facilities and having a current wastewater discharge permit shall be required to obtain a
new permit or permit contract upon the expiration of their existing permit.
All Class III Users maybe required to receive a permit in
order to connect to the District facilities or to continue to discharge to District facilities._ At
such time as the District undertakes such a program to permit Class III +Users, existing
Class III t, -s<tsUsers will be required to apply for a permit within ninety J901days of notice to
said users by personal service, mail, or publication._ Thereafter it shall be the responsibility
of all Class III tUsers prior to connection to obtain a permit.
Industrial User per mit ma be issued to mobile service roviders that o erate in the
District's service area in order to ensure that the wastewater enerated is mane ed and
discharged in compliance with this Ordinance and applicable state and federal
re uirements. The classification of the mobile service ravider will be determined b
evaluating the uantit and unlit of the wastewater disc ar ed.
10.12.030 Classes of ttset- s-Users.
The District will classify all users in accordance with the principal activity
conducted on the premises where the discharge occurs._ The purpose of the classification
is to facilitate regulation of discharges to District facilities on the basis of each t 'suser`s
waste quality, quantity, and flow._ The classification shall further provide a means of
imposing an appropriate level of oversight, control, and enforcement according to the
source of the discharge._ The classification system will also allow equitable recovery of
District capital and operating costs for the ofty -ek�f - Source Control Program. As
set forth in the Definition section of this Litt Ordinance, there are two 2Lcategories of
users =; to wit, domestic users and industrial users._ Industrial users are categorized as
Class I, ll, III, or IV.
All users are subject to the prohibitions set forth in this Ordinance, with
such federal and state statutes and regulations as may apply, and the specific pollutant
limitations as may be promulgated by the District Board either by ordinance or resolution.
Domestic users under normal circumstances will not be required to apply for
or receive a wastewater discharge permit as defined in this Ordinance, providing that
said domestic user discharges only that wastewater which is consistent with the definition
of domestic wastewater set forth herein.
Industrial users may be subject to wastewater discharge permit requirements
depending on the volume, characteristics, and origin of their wastewater discharge.
Industrial users may be required to supply such information and data concerning their
processes, including discharge samples and wastes generated, as may be necessary for
the District to determine whether such user should be designated as Class I, II, III, or IV.
Industrial users must, if requested, provide such other information regarding the nature of
the entity, its operations, storage and use of chemicals, and storage and use of hazardous
22
substances, as may be reasonably necessary to make such determination as to the
classification of said user and whether a wastewater dischar e ermit is needed. The
District may also require information relating to potential for accidental discharges to a
District facility of hazardous or prohibited substances._ Such inquiries may include
information regarding the current disposal procedures of the user with regard to chemicals
and /or substances which are not in the ordinary course of the fuser's operations
discharge to a District facility.
The determination by the District regarding the EE:,r4Y,,t + < >+desi nation of an
industrial user as a Class I ese User may be based on the unusual character of the
wastewater due to its volume, strength, composition, or its derivation from a hazardous
waste or substance, or the potential variability in the character of the wastewater, or on
the potential for increased administrative cost to the District due to the unusual
character of the waste._ Any additional administrative costs to be considered may
include increased potential for the administrative oversight by federal, state, and local
agencies as well as the potential for increased liability exposure and associated legal
costs._ The District may also take into consideration difficulties in enforcement of ++,i,
titiethe Source Control Ordinance under a wastewater discharge permit and the
enforcement violation and compliance history of the user with the District, as well as
other regulatory agencies.
...................... . ........ -_The determination of the District regarding the designation of an industrial
user as a Class II tt,etUser may be based on whether the discharge of the wastewater is
equal to or greater than twenty -five thousand (25,000) gallons per average ,work day
flow, or whether the discharge has in its waste hazardous pollutants, or whether the
discharge is subject to national pretreatment standards, or whether it has in its untreated
wastewater pollutants which are in excess of any pretreatment standard or requirement,
including any pretreatment standard or requirement identified in this tOrdinance or local
limit set by resolution of the District Board, or whether it may, in the opinion of the District,
have a significant impact, either singularly or in combination with other contributing
industries, on the strict's ability to meet the objectives of this otteOrdinance.
A determination by the District regarding the designation of an industrial user
as a Class III =User may be based f on the standards set forth t� in the definition of a
Class III im,.iuoifti usei Industrial User in this t{i4 Ordinance. This determination may include,
but not be limited to, the issue of whether the user stores and /or uses hazardous
substances in such quantities in its industrial or commercial processes as may, in the
determination of the District, have the potential to be discharged to District facilities by
accident or through a slug discharge, causing a measurable increase in the amount of
hazardous substances entering the .i .)i,+fif�t,District's facilities. Non - Significant Categorical
Users shall be classified as Class III Industrial Users and shall operate under a Class III IU
Permit.

ref < >efaf ."Sam lino and Evaluation Program (SEP). The SEP will be conducted by the District
and may include collection of from three Q�_to five samples._ The SEP will establish
whether there is continued noncompliance by the user._ Samples collected during the SEP
may be analyzed for other pollutants in addition to the pollutant(s) in violation.
Other Compliance Sampling._ All Class I, IIa rrt��► t,z
and III Industrial Users may be required by the District to conduct compliance sampling in
addition to those described above._ This could include, but is not limited to, sampling
required by the District in an eniof efwliE of- ttpiiatl esehe ttl <ag,>lef.iiemEnforcement Compliance

on its own or request the user to split samples to evaluate compliance with this
titieOrdinance or the i,ief 4user's permit or permit contract._ The District also reserves the
right to conduct all sampling and analysis for the user with all costs to be paid by the user.
In the event that data obtained by the District differs from data provided by the user, the
r,i-o -District's data shall be presumed accurate unless and until the user provides
substantial evidence otherwise._ In the event that the District performs the sampling,
whether announced or unannounced, the user may request that the District split its
samples and provide one of the split samples for the ,user's independent analysis.
- -B. Sampling Procedures.
All sampling and testing undertaken for the purpose of compliance with the sampling
and reporting requirements of this tirieOrdinance shall be undertaken in the manner set
forth herein._ Except as otherwise provided in this section or as otherwise agreed in writing
by the District, samples for pH, cyanide, sulfide, phenols, oil and grease, and volatile
organics shall consist of grab samples._ A minimum of four 4) grab samples shall be taken
for the referenced constituents throughout the entire process discharge period._ The grab
samples for each of the referenced constituents shall be individually preserved and kept
separate, and shall be subsequently composited by the testing laboratory prior to analysis.
For all other pollutants, composite samples shall be taken atthrough flow proportional
composite sampling techniques or time proportional composite sampling as specified in the
35
permit or permit contract, unless the permit or permit contract specifically authorizes
alternative grab or composite grab techni ues. Time-proportional composite sampling
shall occur with a sa[nplinafrequency of at least one sample each half -hour throughout the
entire process discharge period, or a twenty -four 24Lhour period as required by the
District._ Each regulated w- astewaste stream shall be sampled and analyzed separately
unless the °user's permit or permit contract allows for sampling and analyzing the

to achieve a maximum degree of compliance with this trtjeOrdinance by all users._ These
enforcement provisions apply to all classes of users to the extent such user violates any
provision of this 4+tft�.Ordinance or administrative order of the District pursuant to this
Ordinance. In order to achieve the maximum degree of compliance desired, the District
will use a variety of enforcement mechanisms._ The enforcement mechanisms set forth
range from informal administrative action to formal criminal prosecution._ The District may,
in its discretion, implement the use of any mechanism or the concurrent use of several
mechanisms in order to enforce the provisions of this t44 -e Ordinance. The enforcement
mechanisms provided herein may be cumulative in respect to such other enforcement
mechanisms or civil and criminal penalties as may be otherwise available under the laws of
thest,ite State of California and the United States of America._ Nothing in this Ordinance
is intended to prevent state and /or federal regulatory agencies from undertaking
enforcement actions as may otherwise be available due to a violation of this 1 +t4eOrdinance
which also constitutes a violation of federal or state statutes and regulations, such as: (1)
the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. °1251, etseq.); (2) the California Porter - Cologne Water
Quality Act (California w-tK-Water Code ��}�, +- 13000, et seq.); (3) the California

A. Grounds for Instituting Sampling and Evaluation (S & E) Programs.
In addition to those grounds set forth in Section 10.12.060 A'*r61, grounds for
instituting an S & E pf -ogMii Program , include compliance sampling or District sampling
indicating a significant non - compliance (SNC)._ The S & E pf-o fitfllP rocl ram may consist of
District sampling of the ,discharger`s wastewater at the first opportunity convenient
to the District, upon which daily samples may be taken eff4; 4 for up to five j days._ The
District or outside laboratory will analyze these samples for the violating constituents and
provide notice to the discharger in regard to the results of said sampling._ Violations which
may occur during the S & E rqg ram shall constitute subsequent violations under
this titkOrdinance or under any applicable law.
B. S & E Program Revealing Noncompliance.

designed to minimize the amount of grease, sand, oil, or other flammable liquids from
entering the sewer system.
... . ..............The design, location, and procedures for operation of a required interceptor
or trap shall be approved by the District._ Such approval shall be obtained prior to the � y
users connection of the facility to the t+',�District's sewerage system, in the event of new
construction or remodeling._ In instances where a user has already connected and the
District determines that an interceptor or trap must be installed, the user shall promptly
provide for the installation of the interceptor or trap within a reasonable time frame (as may
be set by the District), including providing such design plans and operational plans as may
be required._ The installation of an interceptor or trap as required by this Ordinance on
an existing user facility shall occur within reasonable time not to exceed one hundred LIQO
days after the user has been provided notice of the requirement that an interceptor or trap
be installed._ This one - hundred --day limit may only be extended by written agreement of

at the terminus of Berrellesa Street as part of the Martinez Regional Shoreline Park as
shown on the attached map. In 2004, EBRPD intensified its use of the property by
increasing the size of the parking lot, and adding a landing for a pedestrian bridge
across Alhambra Creek. The pedestrian bridge and parking lot is a joint project of the
City of Martinez, Caltrans, and EBRPD. It is part of the trail system in EBRPD's
Martinez Regional Shoreline Park. The bridge has been designed to be above
projected flood levels, and has been reviewed by the Contra Costa County Flood
Control District.
The District property that is the subject of this license is part of the right -of -way for
sewer pipelines that serve the City of Martinez. Within the right -of -way, there is a 24-
inch gravity sewer that flows west to and twin 20 -inch forcemains that flow east from the
Martinez Pumping Station. The use of the property by EBRPD and the public does not
impact operation of the sewer facilities that are located there.

Agenda Item 7.a.5)
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
February 9, 2007
TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FROM: JAMES M. KELLY, GENERAL MANAGER . �--
SUBJECT: PROPOSED PLACEMENT OF ITEMS ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR
Staff was requested by Board President Nejedly at the January 11, 2007 Board Meeting
to report what agenda items could be placed on the Consent Calendar for Board
approval. Based upon a discussion of this matter with District Counsel Kent Alm,
essentially all agenda items can be placed on the Consent Calendar except Hearings,
certain Financial Reports, Adoption of Rates and Charges, and other agenda items that
require a super majority to be approved.
The District's current practice is to have Resolutions of Dedication, Accept Contract
Work, Approve Staff Attendance at Conferences/Travel, and Authorized the General
Manager to Execute a few routine agreements on the Consent Calendar. Legally,
Approval of Minutes, Receiving Monthly Financial Statements, and Authorize the
General Manager to Execute Contract Documents and Service Agreements could all be
fully moved to the Consent Calendar for Board approval. While it is legal to move all
these Agenda Items to the Consent Calendar, if the Board wishes to move more items
to the Consent Calendar, I recommend the District start by moving Approval of Minutes,
Approval of Expenditures and Authorize the General Manager to Execute routine
Contract Documents and Service Agreements to the Consent Calendar. Determining
what is a routine document will be based on staff's judgment and ongoing feedback
from the Board. Determination of what is a routine document or agreement does cause
me some concern, as items on the consent calendar might not receive the same care of
review as items on the regular agenda. If an item were to be approved as part of the
Consent Calendar and later the Board were to consider the agenda item one that
should have been more fully discussed with the Board prior to approval, then Staff,
while acting in good faith, would have failed to receive Board input and direction on a
matter where the Board desired to provide it to Staff.
As always, any Board Member may remove an item from the Consent Calendar for
discussion or to receive additional information from staff. Doing so will help provide
Staff guidance on what agenda items are appropriate to be on the Consent Calendar for
Board Approval.
Agenda Item 7.a.6)
Board Meeting of February 15 2007
Announcements
a) Alhambra Valley Sewer Costs for One Year Delay
Staff was asked to estimate the cost to the District if there was a one -year delay
in completing the Alhambra Valley sewer. Staff provides the following
information. There are two costs the District would incur: increase in construction
costs and sewage trucking costs. Regarding construction costs, the construction
industry expects costs to increase by approximately 7% over the next year.
Since the funds that would have been used for construction will be earning
approximately 5 % during this period, the net cost increase is 2% and the
additional project costs would be approximately $25,000. Regarding sewage
trucking costs, the developer Busby indicated to staff that approximately 4 homes
per year are expected to be built. Although sewage will be minimal, to avoid a
nuisance, trucking is estimated to occur 3 times a week after a single home is
occupied. Assuming the home is occupied on September 1, 2007, trucking costs
will be approximately $30,000. Thus, the total cost for delaying one year is
estimated to be $55,000
b) Announcement For Advertisements Of The Lower Orinda Pumping Station
Renovation — Phase 2, Project
The Lower Orinda Pumping Station Renovation - Phase 2 Project, DP 5944 will
be advertised for bids on February 26 and March 6, 2007.
The project consists of a number of improvements to the Lower Orinda Pumping
Station that will enhance the station's reliability and maintainability. These
improvements include such items as bypass and soft start capabilities on the
250 -hp variable frequency drives for the wet weather pumps, isolation gates for
the new grinders, building security and fire alarm systems, fuel day tank,
emergency lighting, and other miscellaneous items.
The Engineer's construction cost estimate for this project is $500,000.
Staff plans to return to the Board for authorization of the construction contract at
the April 5, 2007 Board Meeting.
c) Caltrans Sewer Repair at Lancaster Rd
The Caltrans project to repair the District's 21 -inch sewer crossing under HWY
680 at Lancaster Road in Walnut Creek continues on the freeway shoulder area.
When the contractor performing the repair reached the sewer, it was discovered
that the damage to the sewer was not accidental and in fact the casing protecting
the sewer was removed to accommodate the installation of the pier supports for
the sound wall. As previously noted, Caltrans is fixing the sewer with their
contractor at their cost, and District staff is inspecting the work. District staff is
pursuing Caltrans reimbursement for all District costs related to the repair of this
damaged sewer. The repair of the sewer itself was completed on Friday,
February 9, 2007. The sound wall repair and site restoration work is continuing
and is expected to be completed by the end of March.
d) Update — Plant Wet Weather Protection Project
Circa 1992 -1993, the Contra Costa County Water Conservation and Flood
Control District (CCCFCD) applied for a 404 permit from the U. S. Army Corp of
Engineers (COE) to dredge Lower Walnut Creek. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Services and California Department of Fish and Game objected to the dredging
activities, therefore the COE refrained from issuing a dredging permit to
CCCFCD. The reason for the objection was destruction of wetlands due to
dredging activities. As a result, CCCFCD has consciously decided not to dredge
the lower portion of Walnut Creek and has focused its attention upstream.
During the summer of 2006, CCCFCD dredged a portion of the upper reaches of
Walnut and Grayson Creeks. Utilizing the revised creek profiles from this past
summer's dredging activities, CCCFCD is currently working with the COE to re-
evaluate the water surface elevations in Lower Walnut and Grayson Creeks
under various storm events. CCCFCD is also re- evaluating its position with
respect to dredging the lower reaches of Walnut Creek this year and how to work
with the COE to obtain the necessary permits.
Staff will continue to work closely with CCCFCD on the revised water surface
elevations and how this will impact the treatment plant facilities. Staff will send a
letter to CCCFCD this month informing them of the impact of not dredging the
lower portion of Grayson Creek and Walnut Creek on the District's facilities,
stating our support of their efforts to dredge the creeks, and requesting the
creeks be dredged this summer. Staff will monitor CCCFCD's effort to dredge the
lower reaches of Walnut Creek accordingly. The Board will be kept informed of
future developments.

ISSUE: Approval by the Board of Directors is required for a supplemental authorization
and to add new projects to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 -07 Treatment Plant Program
budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve a $4,500,000 Supplemental Authorization from the
Sewer Construction Fund for the Treatment Plant Program of the FY 2006 -07 Capital
Improvement Budget (CIB), and approve new projects.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This supplemental authorization will allow currently planned
projects to continue, as well as allow several new projects to move forward before the
next fiscal year. There are sufficient funds in the Sewer Construction Fund for this
supplemental authorization.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: If this supplemental authorization is not
approved, several critical treatment plant projects will be delayed until FY 2007 -08 and
FY 2006 -07 expenditure targets will not be met.
BACKGROUND: Each year, as part of the CIB adoption process, the Board of
Directors authorizes funding levels for each of the four capital programs: Treatment
Plant, Collection Systems, General Improvements, and Recycled Water. The Board
authorized $16.4 million for the Treatment Plant program for FY 2006 -07. To date,
$16.3 million has been allocated to projects. There is a need for an additional $4.5
million to fund the Treatment Plant Program through the end of FY 2006 -07.
The need for additional funds was created by three factors:
• Funds needed in FY 2006 -07 to complete projects from previous years were
underestimated. In the budget it had been assumed that only $10.1 million would
be needed to fund continuing projects. In actuality, of the $16.4 million

authorized for the Treatment Plant Program, approximately $11.9 million was
already allocated to ongoing projects at the beginning of the fiscal year. This
resulted in a shortage of $1.8 million to allocate to new projects in FY 2006 -07.
Three new projects have been created to address needs not identified during the
preparation of the FY 2006 -07 budget. These projects include the Treatment
Plant Hydraulic Evaluation, Treatment Plant Site Planning, and the Electric
Blower Renovation. There are no contingency funds remaining to fund these
new projects. The cost of these new projects is estimated at $310,000.
Consultant contracts to assist with these projects are on this Board Agenda.
Staff is also planning to award a number of projects before the end of FY 2006-
07 that will spend the majority of their budgets in FY 2007 -08. In order to award
these contracts, the funds must be available in the FY 2006 -07 Capital
Improvement Budget. These projects include Pipe Renovation - Phase 3,
Substation 40 Cable Replacement and DAFT Polymer Addition. The cost of this
category of projects makes up the remainder of the $4.5 million in additional
authorizations needed.
Staff requests that the Board of Directors approve a supplemental authorization of
$4,500,000 for the FY 2006 -07 Treatment Plant Program in order to proceed with a
number of critical treatment plant projects. Five percent of the $4.5 million ($255,000)
will be allocated to refund the Treatment Plant Contingency Account.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Approve Supplemental Authorization of
$4,500,000 from the Sewer Construction Fund for the Fiscal Year 2006 -2007 Treatment
Plant Program, and approve new projects.

ISSUE: Board of Directors' authorization is required for the General Manager to
execute a Professional Engineering Services Agreement in an amount greater than
$50,000.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute a Professional
Engineering Services Agreement with Damon S. Williams and Associates (DSWA) for
the Treatment Plant Site Planning Evaluation, District Project 7249, in the amount of
$90,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The cost for this project, including District staff time, will be
approximately $100,000.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: An alternative would be to not authorize the
project. This would prevent the District from determining the optimal location for future
additions triggered by regulatory issues and service area growth. This is not
recommended.
BACKGROUND: The next three to five years will bring multiple large projects to the
treatment plant, each requiring a significant plot of land. Potential projects include the
installation of additional primary sedimentation tanks, a new ash and sludge loading
system, a mercury removal facility, furnace improvements, a nitrification treatment
process, filter plant enlargement, and alternative /renewable energy options.
Although the District has an abundance of room to the north, the anticipated projects
are central to the operation of the treatment plant and need to be located in the denser
core area where space is limited. They will need to be logically situated to keep
operation and maintenance of the treatment plant practical, and to maintain hydraulic
efficiency. This project will assess the space and process flow in the treatment plant

area, consider potential locations for future projects, and ultimately present a
recommended plan for the usage of space.
Two consulting firms, Carollo Engineers and Damon S. Williams and Associates,
submitted proposals. Based on the proposals, DSWA was selected because they
presented the best team, and technical approach. A contract valued at $90,000 has
been negotiated with DSWA to complete the Treatment Plant Site Planning Project.
Staff has concluded that the proposed agreement is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 since
it involves planning tasks for possible future actions which the District has not approved,
adopted, or funded, and the outcome of these tasks will not have a legally binding effect
on later activities. Approval of this agreement will establish the Board of Directors'
independent finding that this project is exempt from CEQA. The District will conduct an
environmental evaluation of any capital project that is proposed in the future as a result
of these studies to determine the appropriate CEQA compliance documentation.

$50,000.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute a Professional
Engineering Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for the Treatment Plant
Hydraulics Evaluation, District Project 7270, in the amount of $95,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The estimated cost of this evaluation, including District staff
time, will be approximately $110,000.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could elect to cancel or defer the
project. This is not recommended, since identification of hydraulic limitations and
required upgrades in the treatment plant to relieve those limitations are important for
optimizing treatment plant operations.
BACKGROUND: In 1999, Brown and Caldwell preformed a capacity analysis on the
individual unit processes. Although thorough, the analysis focused on the process
capacities, not the hydraulic capacities. As a result, the District is aware of the process
capacities of each of the units, but does not have a comprehensive understanding of
the plant hydraulic capacity. Previous hydraulic studies focused on individual segments
of the plant's liquid train, but have not looked at the entire plant. This project will take
prior hydraulic analyses, integrate current survey and process information, proposed
process expansions such as the new primary tanks and develop a final, comprehensive
hydraulic model of the entire treatment plant. The hydraulic model that is developed
will be provided to the District in a format that will allow District staff to prepare future
updates.

$50,000.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute a Professional
Engineering Services Agreement with HDR for the Capacity Evaluation of the Electric
Blower, District Project 7272, in the amount of $80,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The estimated cost of this evaluation, including District staff
time, will be approximately $100,000. A detailed estimate of the design cost of the
renovation project will be developed as part of this investigation and a detailed estimate
of the construction cost will be prepared during the final design of the project.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: An alternative would be to conduct this project
using in -house engineering. This project requires specialized expertise, which is not
available to the District at this time.
BACKGROUND: The District uses three single -stage centrifugal blowers to provide
aeration air to its activated sludge process. The two larger units are steam turbine
driven and the smaller unit is electric motor driven. Typically, one steam turbine
operates on duty service, and the second turbine and electric unit provide standby
service. The preference for using a steam turbine for duty service is because the
District has excess steam, which is produced by the plant's waste heat boiler and
cogeneration system. Operation of the electric turbine typically requires supplementing
the plant's cogeneration system with PG &E power.
The electric blower serves as a backup to the two steam - powered turbine blowers in
case the steam system ever goes down. The electric blower has enough capacity to

meet the treatment plant's needs during the winter months. However, during the
warmer summer months, the electric blower does not have enough capacity to meet the
demand. This project will investigate the projected aeration air needs, determine
blower capacities, examine renovation /replacement alternatives as well as investigate
the impacts of aeration leak repairs,for the electric blower to ensure it will meet the air
demand all year round.
District staff recently received proposals from four consulting firms for the design of the
Primary Sedimentation Tanks Expansion Project and the A -Line Phase 2A Project.
HDR was ranked highly in the selection process and put forth a significant level of
effort, but was not selected. In recognition of their efforts, staff requested a Statement
of Qualifications from HDR for the Electric Blower Renovation Project. HDR was found
to be an excellent fit for the project based on their experience in designing similar
projects and their staff. Therefore, staff recommends selecting HDR for this project
based on their performance on the prior formal selection process and their excellent
qualifications to perform the work.
Staff has negotiated an agreement with HDR in an amount not to exceed $80,000 for
the evaluation portion of this project. HDR may be used for the design of the
renovation project, bidding, and support during construction should a project go
forward. The amount for these other tasks will be negotiated later.
Staff has concluded that the proposed agreement is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 since
it involves planning tasks for possible future actions which the District has not approved,
adopted, or funded, and the outcome of these tasks will not have a legally binding effect

ISSUE: A report of the results of a comparative review of actual and budgeted
Operations and Maintenance (O &M) revenues and expenses for the first six months of
the 2006 -2007 fiscal year as well as full year projections are provided in this Position
Paper. In addition, any significant variances from budget for the first six months and
any significant full year projected variances are discussed.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive the 2006 -2007 Operations and Maintenance Budget
Review for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and full fiscal year projections.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Six -Month Review: For the first six months ended December 31, 2006, total O &M
revenues are $20,458,417 compared to a budget of $20,087,494 for a positive variance
of $370,923 or 1.8 %. Total O &M expenses for the first six months are $23,218,073
compared to a budget of $24,833,073 for a positive variance of $1,615,055 or 6.5 %.
The six -month status reflects the financial results at a certain point in time, as of
December 31, 2006, and looks favorable.
Annualized Projections: The projected O &M revenues for the full year are $47,378,835
compared to a budget of $46,976,000 for a positive variance of $402,835 or 0.86°/x.
Total projected O &M expenses for the full year are $52,391,550 compared to a budget
of $54,207,356 for a favorable variance of $1,815,806 or 3.35 %. This favorable
variance is due to cost savings in labor expense of $1,098,104, employee benefits
$236,385, outside services $309,300, hauling & disposal $81,700, professional & legal
$26,500, and other expenses $348,467 partially offset by an unfavorable variance of
$38,000 for chemicals, $125,000 for utilities and $139,850 for repairs & maintenance.
These savings reflect staffs continued focus to obtain cost reductions through their
efforts to manage vacant positions and reduce costs wherever possible.

REVIEW FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: None
BACKGROUND:
Six -Month Review: The table on Attachment A compares actual O &M revenue and
expense for the first six months of the fiscal year to the six -month budget. Significant
variance explanations are included on the table.
Annualized Projections: Attachment B compares full year O &M projections to budget.
Anticipated significant projected variances from the annual 2006 -2007 O &M Revenue
and Expense budget are listed below:
Revenue:
Total O &M Revenue is projected to be $402,835 higher than budgeted
mainly due to higher than expected commercial sewer service charge
revenue as well as more sewer service charge revenue generated from
Dougherty Valley as a result of more connections than planned in previous
years.
Expense:
Salaries: Salaries and Wages expense is projected to be $1,098,104 or
6.06% lower than budgeted due to more capital salaries than budgeted as
a result of more capital work than anticipated, under - filling of higher paid
positions, and savings from budgeted positions not being filled until the
second half of the fiscal year.
Benefits: Benefit costs are projected to be $236,385 lower than budget for
the full fiscal year. Retiree medical premiums are slightly lower than what
was used in the budget and the number of retirements to -date is less than
what was anticipated in the budget. Also, there are additional savings in
salary- driven benefits due to salaries being projected lower than budget.
Chemicals: Chemicals expense is projected to be $38,000 over budget
due to a transition to use bulk storage tanks to store polymer. Large
purchases were made to initially fill the storage tanks, which will cause
overage for the year.
Utilities: Utilities expense is projected to be $125,000 higher than
budgeted due to landfill gas not being available in September and October
due to a compressor outage and gas moisture problems which caused a
heavier use of natural gas to operate the furnace and boilers.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: February 15, 2007
Subject: RECEIVE THE 2006 -2007 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET
REVIEW FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
Repairs & Maintenance: Repairs & Maintenance expense is projected to
be $139,850 over budget primarily due to the unanticipated costs to clean
the sludge blending tank and the cost to repair the turbo blowers and
manifolds on the standby engines.
Hauling & Disposal: Hauling & Disposal expense is projected to be
$81,700 lower than budgeted due to more frequent use of the least
expensive disposal site for ash removal, lower grit removal expense as a
result of dry weather and a reduction in janitorial services costs due to a
new contract.
Outside Services: Outside Services expense is projected to be $309,300
lower than budgeted as a result of less need for temporary employees
than had been anticipated at CSO, use of in -house resources rather than
using a contractor service for quality assurance, postponement of full
implementation of a GPS system for CSO as well as a vibration monitoring
program for the pump stations, and savings in the technical training,
conferences & meetings account due to fewer conferences to be attended
than anticipated during the budgeting process.
Other Expenses: Other Expenses is projected to be $348,467 lower than
budgeted due to lower election cost than anticipated. The actual cost per
voter was significantly lower than the estimate given to us by the County
that was used during the budgeting process.
The Revenue over Expense results for the 2006 -2007 O &M budget anticipated a
decrease to the O &M Fund balance of $7,231,356. Based on favorable revenue
results and reduced O &M expenses, the full year projections indicate that the
O &M Fund balance will decrease by $5,012,715.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Receive the 2006 -2007 Operations and
Maintenance Budget Review for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and
projections for the full fiscal year.

The Rising Cost of Clean
• Material cost escalation will continue at 6 -8% with
spikes of 10 -13% annually
• Labor cost escalation will be 5% annually
• Recommend budget for 6 -8% escalation per year for
foreseeable future
• Financial reality .... we will not be able to keep rate
increases to CPI
• Affordability will become an issue and some utilities
are looking at reduced rates for low income
• Outreach is more and more important to
communicate the value we provide to our rate payers
