Project No. 176
WDR FOG Program Phase III
The project will fund the District's use of a consultant to continue the fats, oils, and
grease (FOG)program implementation that is required under the Regional Water Quality
Control Board's Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR). Previous projects were Project
No. 172 and Project No. 174 The Sanitary District contributed to the nationwide FOG
Study and the resulting report is titled Orange County Sanitation District— `FOG
Control Research Study Report'/Phase I dated June 2003, and is on file in the
Manager/District Engineer's office. This report concluded that a FOG Characterization
Study was an important building block of a successful FOG program. The District's
FOG characterization Study was completed under project No. 172 and is titled `Costa
Mesa Sanitary District— Sewer System Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG)—Characterization
Study Report' dated October 21 2004 The District also has a hot spot and food service
location map.
This project will continue where Project No. 174 terminates, which is near the end of the
first year of informing the 393 food service establishments of the new grease control
regulations, issuing permits, and insuring compliance with the new requirements.
Recommended appropriation $150,000

Proiect 1112100-175/OCSD Cooperative Projects Grant-Televising Sewer Lines
This is phase II and continues from the 2004-05 project. OCSD treatment plants are being strained during
heavy rains; it is presumed that OCSD and Sanitary Districts' facilities are experiencing Inflow and
Infiltration (I & I) during the rainy season. The CMSD took advantage of the OCSD proactive action by
filing for and receiving a grant for 50% of the cost to televise the entire CMSD main line sewer system.
The grant equals $310,590.50 and the CMSD must match this amount. The District appropriated
$311 758 in the 2004-05 FY with the knowledge that additional work and funding would be required in
the 2005-06 FY
Additional funds will be used for mapping, manhole marking and numbering, inspection, design and
administration. It is also understood that additional funds may be required in the 2006-07 FY pending the
outcome of the televising, mapping and inspection. The funds allotted for design, manhole assessment,
inspection,administration and reserve appear to be appropriate and reasonable.
.4 Project 1112100-176/WDR FOG Program Phase III
Phase I was initiated in the 2003-04 FY Project #172 because of requirements imposed by the SAR-
RWQCB. Phase II was programmed in the 2004-05 FY with Project #174 Phase III will continue
providing information to the 393 food establishments about the grease control regulations along with
insuring compliance and issuing permits. The District will continue to use the consultant that performed
Phases I and II.
0 The appropriation of$150,000 appears reasonable and appropriate.
* Project 1112100-177/Capital Facilities Acquisition Fund
In 2004, the District outgrew the rented facilities at the City of Costa Mesa City Hall and acquired their
own building. Also the District added administrative staff including their own financial director and
accountant. The District and the City still share field staff and equipment, however many of the field staff
are reaching retirement age. The District is concerned over response time (most of the existing field staff
live within the district boundaries) if new hires live outside the area. The District is investigating three
options:
1 100%contract services
2. 100%District hired employees (in-house)
3. Combination of contract and in-house services
It is understood and recognized that any transition to an ultimate staffing configuration will involve a
period of time and will mostly likely require 100% contract services while sufficient funds are obtained.
The District also owns some equipment that will require relocation if the District decides not to utilize
City of Costa Mesa facilities. The District needs to consider buying/acquiring yard facilities or sharing
facilities with another municipality
The first year appropriation is $115,000.
