The report details the performance of Central San's P2 Program, and includes a summary of Central San's efforts to expand P2 awareness. The 2016 Annual Pollution Prevention Report was submitted to the Regional Board via the California Integrated Water Quality System on February 27, 2017. The Executive Summary from the report appears on the following pages. Please contact the Secretary of the District if you wish to receive a copy of the full 102-page report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. central San's Wastewater Treatment Facilities Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San) owns and operates a municipal wastewater collection system and a 53.8 MGD--rated secondary wastewater treatment plant. Central San collects, treats, recycles, and discharges wastewater from 481,600 residents and more than 3,000 businesses within 10 cities and four unincorporated communities in central Contra Costa County. The collection area covers 145 square miles and includes over 1,500 miles of sewer pipelines. Central San's treatment plant consists of screening, pre-aeration, grit removal, primary sedimentation, anaerobic selection, biologically activated sludge secondary treatment, secondary clarification, and ultraviolet disinfection. Each year, Central San sends approximately Goo million gallons of treated effluent to a dual-media tertiary treatment plant to produce recycled water. The treatment plant uses about 400 million gallons of recycled water with the balance of 200 million gallons of recycle water sent to a portion of Central San's service area primarily for landscape irrigation. The remaining treated effluent discharges via a deep-water outfall to Suisun gay. B. Central San's Pollution Prevention Program Central San has conducted several award-winning Pollution Prevention (P2) programs in the service area and beyond, including: • Our Water Our World Integrated Pest Management Program ■ Sewer Science for high school students • Water Wizards for 3rd and 5th grade students • Delta Discovery Voyage for 5th grade students P2 activities are often multifunctional programs, requiring coordination among several operating units at Central San which, when taken together, contribute to an effective P2 Program: ■ The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program (HHWCP) provides a solution for proper disposal of toxic household products and chemicals. ■ Communication Services staff provides regular outreach and educational materials to the public and Central San employees about how to keep toxics out of sewers and storm drains, tips for"going green," and other information to encourage less toxic choices and purchases. • Environmental Compliance staff performs wastewater inspections, stormwater inspections, and P2 audits at businesses and industries in Central San's service area. • Laboratory staff samples and analyzes pollutants of concern to identify problematic pollutants and determine the effectiveness of P2 efforts. Central San 2016 Pollution Prevention Annual Report Page 2 • Central San staff provides representation-, leadership, project management, and technical support on local, regional, statewide, and national committees to collaborate on P2 campaigns, projects, and issues. Central San works with the following agencies and organizations to take advantage of local, regional, statewide, and national efforts for reducing wastewater pollution and protecting water quality: • Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA) • Bay Area Pollution Prevention Group (BAPPG) • California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority • Contra Costa Clean Water Program Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Commission Contra Costa Environmental Health • Contra Costa Green Business Program • National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) C. central San's 2016 Pollutants of Concern Central San's pollutants of concern for 2016 are comprised of three groups of pollutants, described below. 1. Priority Pollutants Pollutants with effluent limits in Central San's 2012 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit or in the San Francisco Bay Mercury and PCBs Watershed Permit are classified as priority pollutants. Fats, oils, grease (FOG), and fiushable products are also classified as priority pollutants because of their significant contribution to sanitary sewer overflows. Central San's Priority Pollutants for 2016 were: • Mercury . Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate • Dioxins e Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) • Cyanide • Ammonia • Copper • Fats, Oil, and Grease (FOG) • Acrylonitrile • Flushable and Non-dispersible Products 2. Watch List Pollutants Central San's Watch List pollutants appeared in previous NPDES Permits, but do not have effluent limits in the 2012 NPDES Permit. Pollutants are removed from the Watch List if they have not had effluent limits in Central San's NPDES Permit for two permit cycles. Lead was the only Watch List Pollutant for 2010. Central San 2016 Pollution Prevention Annual Report Page 3 30 Pollutants of Emerging Concern This category includes chemicals and products emerging as pollutants of concern to grater quality. It also includes pollutants for which Total Maximum Gaily Loads (TMDLs) are being developed. The follo rirng were Central San's Pollutants of Emerging Concern for 2016: Pesticides Nonylphenol Ethoxylates Selenium Pharmaceuticals and a Flame retardants personal-care products 0 Nanatechnology Microplastics D. Central San's 2016 summary of Pollution Prevention Activities The following table provides the results of the activities that central San committed to completing in the 2016 P2 Plan.
