PROJECT UPDATES
1) Public Bidding for Treatment Plant Piping Renovations, Phase 9, District Project 7330
Many of the treatment plant's piping and related systems have been in place for 30 to 40 years and have
required repairs or temporary solutions. Failures of such systems reduce the reliability and can adversely
impact the treatment process.
The Treatment Plant Piping Renovations, Phase 9 project will renovate and/or replace various piping,
instrumentation and equipment in the treatment plant that have been identified by engineering, operations,
and maintenance staff. The scope includes various piping systems, valves, gates and actuators; pump
variable frequency drives; boiler feedwater systems; and electrical and controls work. The project will also
include modifications to the Potable Water system for improved security and reliability.
This project will be advertised on February 8 and 15, 2018. Bids will be opened on March 1, 2018. The
engineer's estimate is $2,000,000. More information will be presented when the Board is asked to award
the construction contract in April 2018.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
3) No Businesses in Significant Non-Compliance (SNC) for 2017
Federal pretreatment regulations require Central San to report businesses permitted as Significant
Industrial Users (SI Us) under the Environmental Compliance Program if they are issued a Notice of
Violation during the calendar year. The regulations also establish criteria for agencies, such as Central
San, to use to determine if the violations of a permitted SI U business are classified as SNC. If a business
is determined to be in SNC, Central San is required to publish certain information about the violation in the
newspaper at least annually.
At the Board's request in 2005, Environmental Compliance staff initiated a program to work more closely
with the regulated businesses to understand the actions they could take to minimize the events when they
would meet the SNC criteria. This program has been successful and the number of businesses reported
in SNC has significantly reduced. This year the program assisted three permitted SIU businesses who
were cited for violations with SNC criteria to avoid SNC through corrective actions. No businesses were
determined to be in SNC during calendar year 2017, so there is no need to publish any notices this year.
