Notice that these indices are strongly influenced by the length of collection system owned by the enrollee, 0 For instance,an enrollee that owns and operates a collection system of one(1)mile in length having only one(1)spill (analyzing data for ONE year)will have a Operational indite of 100.0 spills11 00mi/yr,On the other hand,an enrollee that owns and operates a collection system of one hundred (100)miles in length having only one(1)spill(analyzing data for ONE year)will have a Operational indite of 1.0 spills/1 00mi/yr. • Average Net Volume(volume spilled minus volume recovered)of Spills per Capita:Measures the volume in gallons of SSOs, for which the reporting Enrollee is responsible,per capita(the population served by your agency's sanitary sewer system). Where the volume recovered is greater than the volume spilled,the net volume will be considered to be zero. • The"agency"or Enrollee listed on a SSO report is responsible for the data presented in this report and should be contacted directly for questions related to their Data. • More information on the Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reduction program is available at:http:fl ate�,w �Lbgards.ca,,qQ /water iqaqgs�p rams/ nd x.shtml • The Sanitary Sewer Overflows Incident Map is available at:tV./ cq._go /sso/sso_map/ !q_pMb,shtmj 0, The Interactive SSO report: httpi.L//&i% s.watorboards,cg, ov ci rteri & reporfld=sso__M:qVq The torrent report was generated with data as of-,Tuesday,November 29,2011 5 of 5 11/30/20112:11 PM Item II, a.

Here is a summary of the meeting: 1, Adam Presented the OCSD 6-17' Project's Current Scope. The current plan is to upsize portions of the OCSD Newport Blvd Trunk (NB'1"') to meet capacity issues that occur during wet weather, 2. Rob lr,idicated 'that a major portion of the i&i is suspected to be from City of Costa Mesa storm drain capacity issues,, One particu]ar area within t,he Project's basin is at Por'nona & 171h St, This can be flooded from 12 ft during a wet weather event. 1 CMSD has completed CCTV of their entire sewer network from Jan. 2006 to May 2009 4 Rob suggested that OCSD contact Clty of Costa Mesa to discuss any possible stoirm drain system irnprovernents that can reduce inflow to the sewers, 5. CMSD did not have any objections to any I&I investigations that OCSD may wish to conduct. Such as smoke testing to find Illegal storm drain connections. 6, Discussed the possiNfity of re-directing local flows out of the N:BT basin in order to eliminate the need to upsize: a, Directing flow to the CMSD Superlo,r Ave seweir did not look to be feasible b. Directing CMSD basin #38 flow westerly to OCSD Plant#2 after completion of the OCSD Project 6-19, Southwest Costa Mesa Trunk. i, How to be intercepted at Whittier & 18th St ii.

OCSD is starting a new capacity Project (6-17) on our Newport Blvd trunk. This is primarily an I&I Project that is similar to one we are doing on Dover Dr. I wanted to investigate the possibility of re-directing the northwest portion of the CMSD basin that flows into the OCSD NBT, This flow would then go into the basin that would be a part of the westside pump station abandonment Project. My goal here is to see if we can reduce the scope on 6-17 and minimize impacts to the local community. I would like to meet with you next week at your office if you are available.

This force main inlet has the highest flow rate and the greatest drop and probably contributes the highest portion of the hydrogen sulfide Odor that we are trying to remove. We have based our proposal on the following assumption, 1) The wall fixture will be constructed of 316 stainless, schedule 10 materials. We are installing! a 12"tee, positioned vertically with the side outlet into the 14" pipe. The annular space is sealed with a link seat. We are then anchoring the tee to the wall using stainless rod and a combination of epoxy and mechanical fixation, We will install a reinforced plastic 12' hose to the lowest portion of the tee and run this hose into the submerged flow line of the wet well. The hose will be attached to the tee using four stainless band clamps. 2) The flow into the wet well will by eliminated for a 6 hour minimum duration by the District. We are told by District personnel that this will be necessarily a bypass operation during low flow periods. We have not included the bypass pumping or tanker trucks in our proposal. We assume the District will vacuum the wet well. 3) It will be safer if we barricade off Mesa Drive for the evening but that will entail permission from the City. We.have not included this but if desired should not be more than $400, 4) We have not included permit fees, city license fees, or inspection fees. This is emergency work for the District benefit, 5) Our price is a not to exceed price. As is our custom we will bill what it costs us plus the burden and markup number used in our bid. Lump Sum Amount $ 8,093.00 As an alternate if the District wishes to purchase the fabricated stainless steel wall fixture and hose. We will prepare the drawings, advise of the suppliers and facilitate any pickup assemble and delivery, We expect this material will cost a no more than 3500 with taxes included and probably less once we research the hose suppliers. 11 1"2 f-V L ISlJl3 --- - -- yr ..•w.,r- .� ,.,..,...,. Given the arrangement we would perform the field work for a lump sum amount of 4,150.00. Please let us know if this proposal fits within your budget restraints. l�espe� ly, Bruce A.

The living;machine and two years of performance evaluation was paid for through a Department of Defense technology grant of$98o,000.It will process wastewater from barracks and it's expected to start working in January,becoming what Hatcher called the first of its kind on a U.S. military installation.Hatcher said the effluent will need to meet health and safety codes for a year before it's used for irrigation around a. On Facebook» memorial for drill instructors. "If you went up there and looked at it,it would just look like plant beds,," Hatcher said."You wouldn't know that the filtration of sewage water was going on(below)." The idea for the"living machine"goes back at least to the 1970s,when a few designers started mimicking natural processes to provide electricity and clean water.Wetlands served as inspiration for removing pollutants from water,and engineers constructed various wetland-based systems that have been deployed across the country.. Living Machine creates a tide-like action in gravel beds,where rising and falling water levels increase oxygen available to the microbes and thereby improve their ability to digest contaminants.

Hundreds of miles of concrete and clay pipe that carry sewage and stormwater to treatment plants and eventually to the Sacramento River are old, some dating back to the early 1900s. Replacing all that pipe will cost an estimated $2.4 billion. That's six new downtown sports arenas, or two new Terminal B's at Sacramento International Airport. It's a sum that will require raising residents' utility bills by a still-unknown amount—but city officials say they can't keep putting off the job. "I think we're all living on borrowed time,"said Councilman Rob Fong, whose district covering the central city and Land Park has miles of 100-year-old pipe beneath it. "The difficult thing about a water and sewer system is that nobody thinks about it until it fails," Fong said. "And once you have a failure, it can be cataclysmic." As it stands, the city spends about$3.7 million a year replacing and upgrading the pipes. At that rate,the whole system will be replaced every 650 years. City officials want to get on a schedule of replacing the system every 100 years to comply with federal recommendations. To do so,they will eventually need to dedicate$26 million annually toward that effort. Dave Brent, interim director of the city's Department of Utilities, is scheduled to appear Tuesday before the City Council to begin discussion of how the city should pay for accelerated replacement of the system..A precise financing model has not been developed; it will involve an increase in the rates property owners pay for water and sewer service, Brent said. The City Council'has final say over those rates. An increase in rates may also be discussed inthe future, but those increases must be approved by a vote of the people. "The undeniable fact im that weare faced with an aging infrastructune." Brent said. An increase in city utility rates could be a double whammy for residents who may see their bills for sewage treatment rise in the next few years, as the regional sanitation district complies with an order from state regulators to more thoroughly treat sewage before releasing it into the Sacramento River. The city of Sacramento sends its sewage to the regional treatment plant near Elk Grove, The sanitation district mays it will cost more than $2 billion ho comply with the mandate. |t has appealed tothe State Water Resources Control Board. Brent said the city, boo. could find itself the target of state water regulators ifit doesn't act. The regional water board cou|dordar the city to halt new development until upgrades are made. In addition, an old system leads to"a bigger potential for catastrophic failures," Brent said. Failures do happen now, although they mostly go unnoticed outside of the front lawns and street corners where they occur, Since the beginning of the year, raw sewage has leaked out of pipes in the city system about 100 times. Those incidents often occur when sewer lines are blocked or broken, or the system |a overwhelmed by storm runoff. Most incidents involve only a few gallons of sewage. But stories of larger failures are legendary. In 2004, hundreds of fish in Southside Park's lake were killed when a severe thunderstorm overwhelmed the combined sewer and storm drainage system, sending sewage into the lake. Years earlier, storms often led to manholes popping open,flooding central city streets with sewage and runoff. Sewer backups were more common until the 1990s,when the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board ordered the city to upgrade.A$132 million improvement project led to new underground storage facilities, larger pipes and an upgraded pumping station on Riverside Boulevard, Now, attention iaom the pipes. One of the areas with the greatest need is the city core,where older neighborhoods such as downtown, midtown, Land Park and Curtis Park are served bya combined pipe system carrying sewage and stormwmter. Sacramento ia one of just two cities in the state with acombined system. The other ia San Francisco. Of nearly 250 miles of pipe in that system,27 percent is at least a century old. More than two-thirds of the system was installed before World War U. While cataetro On the city's north side, which includes North Sacramento and Del Paso Heights, sewage has spilled 28 times this year, according tostate data, "n&e're almost at emergency mode.'"said Councilwoman Sandy Sheedy. who represents North Sacramento me[ghborhoode, ,V\ndmUwa'ne doing right now is putting a Band-Aid on something that ia going 10 be larger problem if we don't start fixing the infrastructure omm." u"�xeo,mmrnu 91z/people recommend this. 0 Copyright The Sacramento See.All rights reserved.
