BUDGET DETAILS
The Orange County Water District strives to improve the efficiency of all aspects
of its operations in its continuing efforts to increase the water quality and
reliability of Orange County’s local water resources at the lowest possible cost.
The FY 2018-19 budget reflects the wide range of programs necessary to
accomplish the District's primary mission of proactively managing the Orange
County groundwater basin. The following sections provide highlights of the
budget.
EXPENDITURES
GENERAL FUND BUDGET - $69.9 MILLION
The District has 21 cost centers and their proposed activities for the year are
provided in detail in later sections of this document.
The District continually attempts to minimize increases to the General Fund by
taking actions such as limiting administrative personnel, reviewing operations,
maximizing outside funding opportunities, and reviewing all vacant positions
before they are refilled. The General Fund budget contains the expenses of
operating a number of facilities including:
 The GWRS Advanced Water Purification Facility
 Green Acres Project (GAP)
 Talbert seawater barrier injection facilities
 Water quality monitoring well maintenance and sampling
 Laboratory
 Recharge operations in Anaheim and Orange
 Alamitos seawater barrier injection facilities
 Prado Wetlands and water conservation programs
The District’s total salary and benefit costs are projected to be $34.9 million,
which is allocated as follows: $34.5 million to the General Fund and $0.4 million
to capital projects. As described in the Work Plans, the budget proposes a
headcount of 220½.
WATER PURCHASE BUDGET - $61.6 MILLION
The proposed water budget calls for purchasing 65,000 acre-feet of MWD
untreated full service water. Additionally the District would pay for 13,000 acre-
feet of in-lieu water that was received in FY2017-18 under the MWD Cyclic
Program. The total water budget is $61.6 million. Any money not spent in the
annual water budget would remain in the water reserve fund. The basin’s

accumulated overdraft is estimated to be 287,000 acre-feet as of June 30, 2018.
Debt Service Budget - $36.9 Million

The District will have more than $593 million in outstanding debt at the start of
the budget year. This year’s total debt service budget will be $36.9 million,
comprised of $8.14 million of fixed rate debt, $3.58 million of variable rate debt,
$1.27 million of swap payments, $18.03 million in SRF debt payments, $4.93
million of commercial paper debt and $0.96 million for debt administration.
Variable rate debt interest cost has been budgeted at 2.75 percent.
The District holds very high credit ratings of AAA from Standard & Poor’s and
Fitch along with an Aa1 rating from Moody’s. The ratings assigned by these three
agencies have a direct impact on the District’s ratepayers. The District’s high
credit ratings translate into lower annual interest payments and reduced letter of
credit fees on its variable rate debt and commercial paper.
RETIREE HEALTH INSURANCE TRUST FUND - $1.3 MILLION
The District conducted a biennial actuarial study in 2015 to determine the
estimated accrued liability of providing the retiree medical benefit which is $16.2
million. The annual cost to fund this liability (Annual Required Contribution or
ARC) was estimated in the report at $1.3 million. At the end of FY 2018-19, the
trust fund is expected to have a value of approximately $10.4 million. The
recommended FY 2018-19 budget includes $1.3 million to continue fully funding
the District’s ARC. This cost is also referred to as Other Post Employment
Benefits (OPEB).
Replacement and Refurbishment (R&R) Fund Budget - $22.6 Million
The District has over one billion in existing plant and equipment. These facilities
annually depreciate and require replacement and refurbishment to maintain their
capabilities. In October 1998, the District formally established an R&R Fund.
In 2004 the R&R program was downsized to only include infrastructure type
assets. The amount of money annually transferred into the R&R program was
reduced from $4.5 million to $2.8 million with this change. The annual transfer
amount has been growing by seven percent annually to provide sufficient funds
to meet future expected R&R expenditures. The annual contribution also
increased by $4.5 million with the construction of the GWR System.
The total contribution in FY 2018-19 would be $16.7 million. The R&R program
and model was formally reviewed and updated in 2011.
Actual expenditures from the fund vary significantly each year depending upon
which District assets have reached the end of their useful life and need to be
replaced or which assets can have their lives extended by refurbishing them. In
FY 2018-19, the proposed R&R expenditures are $22.6 million.
Board of Directors
March 7, 2018
Page 5 of 8
The R&R Program Fund balance is expected to decrease from $59.2 million on
June 30, 2018 to $53.3 million on June 30, 2019.
Capital Projects Budget - $47.1 Million
The District prepares a multi-year CIP budget to support its mission. The CIP
budget spans five years and provides expected capital expenditures over the
5-year period. The CIP budget is comprised of eleven projects totaling
$47.1 million in FY 2018-19. These projects are funded through long-term debt,
grants and the District will be funding $4 million of the CIP budget with RA
revenue or current revenue (PAYGO) rather than borrowed funds. Details of the
CIP are provided in Section 8 of the budget book.
The projects are necessary to:
 Support basin production by increasing recharge capacity and
operational flexibility.
 Protect the coastal portion of the basin.
The CIP program and the capitalization of expenditures comply with the adopted
District policy in October 2000, which: (1) defines the types of expenditures that
can be capitalized; and (2) uses long-term debt to fund the projects. Each
project included in the CIP must be individually reviewed and approved by the
Board prior to design and construction.
NEW CAPITAL EQUIPMENT ITEMS - $0.3 MILLION
This budget includes small equipment items such as laboratory equipment,
machines, tools, automobiles, computers and software, pumps, equipment, etc.
These items are funded using current revenues.
A detailed list of these items is provided in Section 9 of this document.
REVENUES
ASSESSMENTS - $148.7 MILLION RA; $1.8 MILLION BASIN EQUITY ASSESSMENT
All water pumped out of the groundwater basin will be assessed the RA on a
dollar per acre-foot basis of $462. The RA is expected to generate $148.7 million
in revenue for FY 2018-19 based on 322,300 acre-feet of total anticipated basin
production at a 77 percent BPP.
The Basin Equity Assessment (BEA) rate is calculated for each Producer based
on the treated full service MWD water rate and each Producer’s individual energy
cost to pump groundwater. The BEA is assessed annually in September for all
groundwater production above the BPP. For FY 2018-19, $1.8 million of BEA
revenue is expected to be received.

AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAXES – $25.4 MILLION

The District expects to receive approximately $25.4 million in property taxes
collected within the service area.
The County of Orange assesses and collects the taxes and transfers them to the
District at various times during the year. This revenue source is dedicated to the
District’s debt service expenditure.
INVESTMENT REVENUE – $1.5 MILLION
The District’s cash reserves generate investment revenues. The majority of cash
reserves are invested in short-term securities.
Investment revenues have been estimated at $1.2 million for the General Fund.
Approximately $0.2 million of the investment revenues are generated by and for
the R&R program, another $0.1 million of the investment revenues are generated
by and for the PAYGO/CIP program.
MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES – $13.6 MILLION
MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES ARE COMPRISED OF NUMEROUS ITEMS INCLUDING:

Water sales from the GAP $1.5 M
GWRS MWD LRP Subsidy $7.9 M
Annexation fees $2.3 M
Producer well loan repayments $0.4 M
Rents & leases $1.2 M
Other minor misc. items $0.3 M
TOTAL $13.6 M
RESERVES
The District maintains cash reserves to ensure its financial integrity so that the
groundwater basin can be successfully managed and protected. Cash reserves
ensure that:
 The District has sufficient funds for cash flow purposes.
 Funds are available for unexpected events such as contamination
issues.
 Funds are available to make necessary replacements and
refurbishments to the District’s infrastructure.
 The District has access to debt programs with very low interest cost.

• A financial hedge is in place to balance the amount of outstanding

variable rate debt the District has issued in case interest rates rise.
The District has developed policies which result in the establishment of the
reserve and operating fund levels shown in Table 2. The net effect of the
proposed budget would be an increase of $0.7 million to total District reserves
with $5.7 million decrease in the Replacement and Refurbishment fund, an
increase of $3.6 million in the Operating Reserve fund, and a $2.8 million
increase in the Operating fund.

COST CUTTING EFFORTS

Staff has been and will continue to work to reduce District costs to minimize rate
increases. Recent examples of cost cutting efforts include:
• Locked in low electricity cost with power supplier via Direct Access.
• Utilize interns more to avoid hiring fulltime employees.
• The District continues negotiating payment term discounts with vendors.
• Extended the life of membranes from 5 to 7 years.

Prado Basin Feasibility Study – This is a joint activity with the Army Corps to
evaluate ecosystem restoration and increase the storage level at Prado Dam so
that additional water can be stored and subsequently recharged in the District’s
facilities. This is a multi-year effort with the Army Corps to prepare a Corps’
Feasibility Study for ecosystem restoration and water conservation (stormwater
capture). The Feasibility Study includes evaluation of increasing the winter-time
water conservation from elevation 498 feet to 505 feet. The Study also evaluates
sediment management in Prado Basin.
Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) – The Board directed staff to
explore development of a new IRWM Group in Orange County, and also explore
options to revise the existing SAWPA IRWM program referred to as the One
Water One Watershed (OWOW) program. Staff is working with the County of
Orange and other stakeholders to prepare an updated North and Central OC
IRWM Plan and will continue these efforts in 2018-19.
Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations (FIRO) Scoping Study - Storm water
captured at Prado Dam is a key source of water used to recharge the
groundwater basin. Enhanced weather forecasting has the potential to increase
the efficiency of storm water capture and reduce potential losses to the ocean. In
June 2017, the Board approved a FIRO Scoping Study at Prado Dam with the
Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Work in FY 2018-19 will focus on completing
Phase 1 of the Scoping Study with Scripps and the Army Corps of Engineers.
Sediment Management in SAR – The transport and deposition of sand in the
SAR is important to maintaining recharge through the SAR river bottom. A sandy
river bottom provides high recharge rates and allows the District to construct
levees to maximize percolation. Prado Dam traps the majority of sand flowing
down the river, reducing the dam’s storage capacity and causing negative
impacts on the recharge capacity of the riverbed and the District’s ability to
construct sand levees. The sand deficit below Prado Dam, unless remediated,
will cause long-term reductions in the recharge rate of the channel. Work in FY
2018-19 will focus on evaluating regional options to address the issue and
working with the Army Corps on the Corps’ Prado Basin Feasibility Study.
Additionally, staff will assist with implementation of the Prado Basin Sediment
Management Pilot project.
Santa Ana River Conservation and Conjunctive Use Program (SARCCUP) – This
program includes development of a water bank to store water conveyed into the
watershed from surplus supplies available from the San Bernardino Valley

Municipal Water District (Valley District) and other supplies that may be
conveyed through the State Water Project by Valley District. Additionally,
SARCCUP includes funding to remove 640 acres of Arundo donax. SARCCUP
is partially funded through a Proposition 84 grant. Work in FY 2018-19 will focus
on completing environmental documentation and preliminary design.
SAR Water Rights - The District currently holds rights to divert and recharge
362,000 afy of Santa Ana River water. In its water rights decision that
appropriated 362,000 afy of river water to the District, the State Water Resources
Control Board determined that it would hold in abeyance an additional 143,000
afy associated with potential long-term projects that the District could construct.
The State Board determined that it would hold the additional 143,000 afy in
abeyance until 2023. However, the State Board has requested that the District
provide annual reports on the District’s plans to utilize the 143,000 afy held in
abeyance.
Recharge Facility Planning – The District has several activities focused on
maximizing the performance of our existing surface recharge basins in Anaheim
and Orange. This effort includes managing the Riverbed Filtration
Demonstration project, which pretreats river water prior to recharge in Olive
Basin as a means to improve recharge performance. Performance testing will
continue to collect water quality and recharge rate data over a range of
hydrologic conditions. Staff is also evaluating options to increase the
performance of various recharge facilities. This effort also includes managing the
Recharge Enhancement Working Group (REWG), which is a meeting of staff
from multiple District departments to brainstorm methods to enhance
groundwater recharge.
Santa Ana River Flow Estimates – Potential projects and activities in the upper
SAR Watershed can affect the amount of SAR flow that reaches Orange County.
Due to water supply changes in California and the southwest United States,
agencies throughout the area are proposing new projects that could impact flows
in the SAR. Staff will continue to monitor and review proposed projects in the
upper watershed with respect to their impact on flow rates in the SAR. Staff will
also work with agencies in the upper watershed to evaluate these issues.
Environmental Analyses and Permitting – Environmental analyses are
anticipated for new projects, including the North Basin Groundwater Protection
Project and the South Basin Groundwater Protection Project.
Watershed Management – Participate in task forces administered by SAWPA,
including:
♦ Basin Monitoring Program Task Force
♦ Salinity Management and Imported Water Recharge Workgroup
♦ Middle Santa Ana River Bacterial Indicators TMDL
Participate in implementation of watershed plans for Central Orange County and
North Orange County Watershed Management Areas. Monitor activities in the

Conservation at Prado, Burris Basin, and other facilities and operations as
needed.
Participate in Project Planning and Operations – Natural Resources staff will
continue to participate cooperatively with other departments in preparation of
environmental documentation and other planning efforts on Santiago Creek, and
on all facilities in cooperation with Engineering and Operations.
Educational Material – Natural Resources staff will continue to compile
interpretive materials including live-mounted specimens, reports, tours, and
presentations.
V Pending Activities (Not Being Addressed Due to Insufficient Resources)

Clean up of Chino Creek into the Prado Basin – Eucalyptus and several other
problematic non-native plants have invaded Chino Creek and are interfering with
flood control, water flow, habitat restoration, endangered bird management, etc.
The creek is isolated and could be cleaned as a separate unit.
Clean up of the Riverside County portion of the Santa Ana Canyon – Orange
County is implementing Arundo-control in the canyon, which will help keep the
OCWD recharge area more free of debris. However, they are not including the

NATURAL RESOURCES
part of the canyon just upstream in Riverside County. Giant reed from this
upstream section will re-infest their work areas unless it is removed.

VII Future Issues

Planning and Implementation Assistance for Prado Feasibility Study – Staff will
continue to support study development and implementation.
Full implementation of the SAR Watershed Program – There are still 2,000 or so
acres of Arundo, or more to be removed from the watershed. This scale of
removal would generate more than 12,000 af of water annually for the District.
Assist in Development of a Plan for Wildlife Specimens – In preparation for a
possible interpretive center associated with a future District Wetland, Natural
Resources staffs have assembled an impressive collection of wildlife specimens
in life-like poses that will need a home when the hallway visitor’s center is built.
Staffs will assist in preparing documents and scoping available options.
Integrate Rigorous Statistical Analysis into Habitat Monitoring – The US Fish and
Wildlife Service wants statistics integrated into the monitoring of habitat recovery
following inundation due to water conservation in the Prado Basin. We must
determine how to satisfy that requirement.

WATER QUALITY
Mission
Implement water quality monitoring programs to (1) protect and evaluate basin
conditions and (2) comply with regulatory requirements for drinking water wells and the
District’s NPDES and Water Reclamation permits.
♦ GWR System (GWRS) Monitoring: Continue to implement water quality

monitoring requirements for the final product water and groundwater
monitoring wells in compliance with the GWRS permit, as well as recently
reduced voluntary testing at monitoring wells. This is a high priority for the
department, including assisting with preparation of (1) regulatory quarterly
reports, (2) the annual report, and (3) the annual independent advisory panel
meeting and supplemental tech memos. Use of the GWRS product water for
injection at the Talbert Barrier for seawater intrusion and for surface
spreading at the Forebay requires quarterly monitoring of 36 permit specified
groundwater monitoring wells. Based on a review by staff and concurrence
from the NWRI GWRS Independent Advisory Panel, some supplemental
voluntary monitoring/testing performed at the monitoring wells will be reduced
this year. Meeting monitoring schedules at both the Talbert Barrier and
recharge basins take precedence and require close coordination and
scheduling with the Laboratory and other WQ programs to ensure maximum
efficiency with sample loads and resources.
♦ U.S. EPA Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule Phase 4 (UCMR4): On
behalf of basin Producers, OCWD has successfully met the monitoring and
reporting requirements for the past UCMR1, UCMR2, and UCMR3 programs.
The UCMR4 monitoring program is scheduled over 3 years with monitoring to
begin in 2018 and must be completed in year 2020. To accomplish this
additional drinking water monitoring for Groundwater Producer’s (GWP’s),
many hours of preparation and coordination are required. The additional
UCMR4 monitoring challenges for the WQ Department require close
coordination with GWP’s and the Laboratory to ensure (1) monitoring
schedules are developed and met, (2) all required sample collection
procedures and quality assurance are followed as required by the specific
analytical methods, and (3) all reported sample results are properly entered,
reviewed, and reported into the EPS SDWARS4 database with necessary
sample results, QA/QC information, and all additional water system
information per the EPA UCMR4 reporting requirements.
♦ North Basin Groundwater Protection Project (NBGPP): Continue to implement
monitoring activities at monitoring wells to track the volatile organics
contaminant (VOC) plume and to provide information for the VOC remediation
plan in the North Basin area of the District.
♦ South Basin Groundwater Protection Project (SBGPP): Continue to
implement water quality monitoring activities at monitoring wells in

WATER QUALITY
southeastern Santa Ana to further investigate the extent of VOCs and

perchlorate contamination.
♦ GWRS Metals Mobilization Study: Continue to implement water quality
monitoring activities to assess potential metals mobilization in groundwater
near GWRS recharge facilities. A monitoring program was initiated as
recommended by the NWRI GWRS Independent Advisory Panel to analyze
for trace metals (arsenic is one metal of key concern) from selected wells in
the vicinity and downgradient of the GWRS recharge basins. Monitoring data
has confirmed some metals are mobilized along the groundwater recharge
flow path due to the geochemical differences between GWRS water and the
receiving groundwater aquifer. Monitoring will continue to provide data to
assess metals mobilization over a long-term and distance from the recharge
basins as well as support monitoring activities for the Stanford metals
mobilization research studies.
♦ Mid-Basin Injection Project: Continue to implement water quality monitoring
activities for the Mid-Basin Injection (MBI) Project which is monitoring the
injection of GWRS water directly into the Principal aquifer. Currently, water
quality is monitored at two downgradient monitoring well sites (7 separate well
casings) as well as at several nearby production wells downgradient of the
Demonstration MBI Project. Eight additional well casings will be installed as a
part of the ongoing MBI Centennial Project.
♦ OCWD Storm Water Permit: Provide field and technical support for the
District’s GWRS Industrial Storm Water permit to comply with EPA’s National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit covering storm water
management, discharges, water quality monitoring, and reporting
requirements. Perform monitoring, site inspection tasks, and annual refresher
training as approved in the District’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and WQ monitoring plan. Under the newly adopted SWQCB storm
water permit, two storm water sampling events must be conducted between
July and December, and January and June. The permit requires preparation
of an annual report and electronic reporting.
♦ Santa Ana River Monitoring Program (SARMON): Continue to implement the
comprehensive surface and groundwater monitoring program recommended
by the SARWQH study. Monitoring activities include sites on the Santa Ana
River (SAR), Santiago Basin, and selected downgradient monitoring wells to
provide data on travel time and to assess water quality changes that may
occur after recharge of water from the Santa Ana River. Monitoring activities
are regularly updated and revised based on ongoing review of reported
sample results and recommendations from the regular meetings of the
SARMON Independent Advisory Panel (IAP). One specific focus of the
monitoring program is to continue to monitor and evaluate occurrence of
Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC, including recently addition of
monitoring for perfluoralkyl acids (PFAAs) such as Perfluorooctanoic acid
(PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic (PFOS) . Also, Santa Ana River water
flowing into and out of the District’s Prado basin wetlands are monitored to

WATER QUALITY
evaluate changes in water quality and to evaluate the effectiveness of the

wetlands for water quality treatment. Technical tasks for the SARMON
program include but are not limited to assisting with preparation of (1) the
biennial report summarizing SAR monitoring results, (2) presentations or
technical reports for the NWRI’s SARMON IAP annual meeting, and (3)
completing the annual SARMON water quality program summary.
♦ Seawater Intrusion Program: Continue to implement water quality monitoring
activities to helps assess possible seawater intrusion in areas such as the
Talbert Gap, Bolsa Gap, and Sunset Gap. Recent monitoring results have
shown possible seawater migration landward in the Sunset Gap and
impacting a nearby Huntington Beach drinking water well. Hydrogeology has
drilled new monitoring wells to assess seawater intrusion in Bolsa and Sunset
Gaps to provide information for assessing seawater intrusion. In recent
years, over 30 wells have been constructed and added to the seawater
intrusion semi-annual monitoring program for the Bolsa and Sunset Gap
areas alone. Additional wells, 11 monitoring wells, have also been
constructed in the East Newport Mesa Area to provide water quality data in
areas of the groundwater basin that do not have any wells. These wells will
help to delineate aquifer correlations and construct the annual Shallow aquifer
water level (WL) contour maps. Water quality and water level data will aid in
delineating seawater intrusion that could potentially impact Mesa WD and
IRWD wells, assist with geologic correlations in east Newport Mesa and SW
Irvine area, and help fill in data gaps to construct the annual Shallow aquifer
WL contour map.
♦ GWRS Applied Research and Operational Support: Continuing from last year
and building on current knowledge are planned focused water quality studies
to evaluate treatment removal efficiencies and membrane integrity
assessment (new and older membranes). Specific studies will focus on
specific water quality assessments and may include use of external contract
lab support for specific analyses such as bacteriophage monitoring and other
microbial testing at specific process points. The department will assist with
monitoring tasks and coordination with external lab support, as needed.
♦ Planning and Coordinating Water Quality/Laboratory Workload: Additional
challenges facing the department to manage, track, schedule and coordinate
the compliance and non-compliance monitoring activities are dependent on
(1) Laboratory resources and analytical capacity, (2) GWRS and MBI
monitoring activities, (3) Producer drinking water well state/federal monitoring
schedules, and (4) other on-going District projects, research or focused
studies, etc. These programs and available resources must be considered in
weekly planning and assigning workload. The efficiency of the Water Quality
field activities will be dependent on these factors, and resources to initiate
monitoring schedules for newly constructed wells or locations for various
projects (if approved; see below). Scheduling and coordinating workloads
that maximize the Laboratory and Water Quality department’s efficiencies are
challenging (i.e., maximum samples per extraction methods, etc.) to meet the

WATER QUALITY
water quality data information needs for the various compliance and non-
compliance monitoring programs and research investigations.
♦ Monitoring Activities for Other Projects or Investigative Studies: Pending
Board approval, commitment or agency agreements (see below) several
District projects, investigations or research endeavors will commence that will
require field and technical assistance from the Water Quality Department (see
below).

Account Information
Total $1,872,723 $2,197,989 $1,947,780

Field support and resources may be needed to monitor water quality from
existing locations or new monitoring wells to be constructed for the projects listed
below, pending Board approval. These are listed as potential programs/projects
for planning projections only.
♦ Tracer Study – Burris Basin, Santiago Basin and Santiago Creek Area –
Tracer studies may commence downgradient of Burris Basin, Santiago Basin
and Santiago Creek to provide groundwater travel time and flow paths in
support of future GWRS recharge at these locations. An extensive tracer
study was performed in the Forebay area recharge facilities and SAR
providing technical data to document groundwater flow paths and travel time
and a similar study is planned for this area of the basin to provide real-time
tracer data. Three nested monitoring wells consisting of 14 wells are planned
at strategic downgradient areas for the tracer study. Other wells within the
study area will be incorporated in an extensive monitoring program and
timeline to ensure capture of arrival of the tracer for age dating, confirmation
of groundwater flow paths, and arrival times.
♦ Mid-Basin Injection (MBI) Centennial Project – Future injection wells in
Centennial Park located in Santa Ana are planned similar to MBI-1 which was
completed in April 2015. As part of the MBI expansion at Centennial Park,
several new nested monitoring wells (SAR-12 and SAR-13) are have been
constructed and will be monitored to provide background water quality for
future areas of GWRS injection. Monitoring activities will include
comprehensive baseline monitoring of the underlying aquifers before start-up
of the new Centennial Park injection wells. Quarterly monitoring will continue
to assess changes in water quality over time as injected water migrates
downgradient to the nested wells. As with MBI-1 and SAR-10/SAR-11

WATER QUALITY
monitoring wells, monitoring will likely include monitoring for metals

mobilization as well.
♦ South Basin Groundwater Protection Project (SBGPP) - Phase I investigation
included construction of 6 nested wells consisting of 18 wells drilled to various
depths. Water quality monitoring has been continuing for over two years at a
semi-annual frequency. The Phase II investigation has commenced and
included construction of 7 nested wells within the study area to fill in data
gaps at various depths and locations. Twenty-nine monitoring wells have
been drilled and are initially being sampled by an outside contractor.
Following initial monitoring, OCWD will take over monitoring water quality
conditions to identify constituents of concern and levels of occurrence.
♦ Water Quality Evaluation of Stormwater Runoff - Glassell site – The County of
Orange has retrofitting an existing 10 acre office space site located in the City
of Orange on Glassell St. to infiltrate stormwater on-site. The retrofit will
include multiple EPA low impact development (LID) features to reduce
stormwater run-off/pollutants and improve water quality. Possible LID features
include bioswales, modular wetlands, permeable paving, and a subsurface
cistern to treat stormwater and to retain the majority of stormwater on-site.

Operations to use non-chemical methods to address pests (e.g., midges at
recharge basins) and vegetative growth at the wetlands in lieu of chemical
application. Non-chemical strategies avoid (1) coverage under the SWRCB
aquatic weed and pesticide NPDES permits, (2) pre- and post-water quality
monitoring and analysis of the applied aquatic pesticides, (3) preparation of
regulatory reports, and (4) issues of the District applying chemicals to water
bodies potentially tributary to the river and/or underlying groundwater.
♦ Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Review and update department
SOPs and conduct periodic refresher training.
♦ Improved Water Quality Monitoring Efficiency
• Assess new methods and strategies to increase field productivity without
compromising quality of sample collection or integrity of sampled water.
• Improve sample collection equipment and sampling procedures; review,
revise and finalize standard operating procedures and implement
processes to increase efficiency and productivity. Continue with evolving
department-wide cross-training programs.
• Evaluate options to streamline specific monitoring programs for broader
coverage, increase efficiency, and reduce sample load to the laboratory.
• Continue to research and improve mobile carbon treatment system and
equipment decontamination procedures. These systems help to address
high concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemicals
that exceed regulatory limits or notification levels (e.g., perchlorate and
1,4-dioxane), which require treatment of purged water prior to discharge.
• Continue to evaluate methods to forecast optimum schedules to change-
out spent carbon in mobile treatment units to avoid breakthrough and to
address new contaminants requiring removal prior to discharge.
• Research new technologies for automating field data collection and
documentation tasks.
Major activities that are reduced, not being implemented or conducted include:
♦ Stormwater monitoring of the Santa Ana River and tributaries to OCWD’s
recharge facilities.
♦ Non-point source water quality monitoring on the river and tributaries near
OCWD’s recharge facilities.
♦ Implement more enhanced quality assurance data review protocols for data
analysis and tracking of water quality concerns to identify developing water
quality issues (e.g., increase in color, seawater intrusion, volatile organics,

WATER QUALITY
SAR monitoring, upper watershed, etc.); provide notification to OCWD

managers and stakeholders; prepare semi-annual reports, as needed.
♦ Implement continued monitoring of the Riverbed Sediment Removal Studies
such as the Riverbed Filtration Demonstration project to assess the overall
water quality changes pre-, post-treatment, and after percolation as measured
by water quality in the nearest monitoring wells (AM-51/1 and AM-51A/1).
♦ Quarterly or monthly water quality monitoring of upper SAR watershed
wastewater discharges; investigate water quality issues originating from the
upper watershed that may potentially affect the Orange County groundwater
basin (e.g., chlorate, NDMA, and other emerging constituents).
♦ Develop and prepare an annual Water Quality report of the basin (deferred for
several years) – strive to prepare initial report with multi-department input in
near future.
♦ Provide enhanced staff development (internal and external) and mentoring to
take on higher-level duties and responsibilities; enhance and broaden cross-
training to increase flexibility and ability to respond to changing conditions.
♦ Active attendance and involvement with water associations and agencies on
water quality issues relevant to OCWD and groundwater Producers.

VII Future Issues

In the next several years, the District will need to consider the following issues
and the associated resources and costs.
♦ Evaluate and purchase more efficient sampling equipment to improve
productivity with field monitoring activities, treatment of purged groundwater,
and replace aging vehicles, as needed.
♦ Complete the process to move the mobile carbon change-out process from
the Hazmat locker to a location (e.g., building with mezzanine or modular
building) with a higher profile to (1) install a gravity-fed silo system, (2)
provide a working environment at ground surface (level, flat), and (3) address
and improve ergonomic and potential safety issues with the current process.
♦ Evaluate and assess resources and options to meet the increasing new water
quality monitoring workload generated by expanding projects, new projects,
focused studies, and research partnerships (i.e., UCMR, GWRS injection or
spreading, metals mobilization, tracer studies, SBGPP, NBGPP, seawater
intrusion, etc.) with existing staff.
♦ Adapt to (1) increasing new regulations requiring new monitoring activities, (2)
implementing new and relevant research investigations, (3) researching
enhanced protocols for equipment decontamination, and (4) assuring high
quality assurance with all field tasks and activities.

WATER QUALITY
♦ Provide field support to monitor North Basin Groundwater Protection project

(NBGWPP) monitoring wells and associated monitoring activities for the
treatment facility in compliance with future treatment permit requirements.
♦ Provide field support for the South Basin Groundwater Protection Project
(SBGPP) investigations. Future monitoring wells will be needed to provide
WQ data to delineate the extent of contamination and to evaluate feasibility of
an interim groundwater remediation/containment system.
♦ Continue to provide field support for the GWRS project that includes
enhanced monitoring activities at select downgradient wells for new areas in
the basin receiving GWRS water to (1) establish baseline conditions, (2)
monitor metals mobilization, and (3) evaluate/assess changes in water
quality.

Mission
Provide high quality, timely, and efficient analytical services to support the Groundwater
Producers’ groundwater source water quality monitoring and unregulated contaminant
monitoring requirements, as well as the District’s water quality testing needs for operational
support monitoring, permit-required water quality monitoring, applied research, and overall
groundwater quality assessment in support of Basin management activities.

♦ New Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) – The Laboratory must
complete development and work with its software vendor, Autoscribe, and proceed with
the testing and full-scale implementation of the new Matrix Gemini LIMS to replace the
15+ year old Aspen LIMS that is no longer supported.
♦ Federal Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule Phase 4 – UCMR4 – The District
continues to support the federally mandated Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule
No.4 (UCMR4) program from 2018 to 2020 for the Groundwater Producers. It is likely
that initial testing will begin in 2018, with regular UCMR4 sampling will begin in earnest
in July 2018. The AWQAL has been certified for 7 EPA methods to support analytical
requirements under this program and continue the process of List 1 and 2 assessment
monitoring for the total of 28 constituents using new EPA methods: 525.3, 552.3, 530,
541 and the existing methods: 200.8, 300.1 & SM5310C. As within past UCMR
programs, the required method performance and QA/QC management is critical to the
success of this support. The AWQAL and Water Quality Department successfully
managed the three UCMR monitoring samples of UCMR 1, 2, 3 programs with less than
5% resampling and reanalysis requests. In addition to the sample analysis for UCMR
programs, EPA requires an acceptable quality control management plan for every batch
of the samples. Laboratory resources within this budget cycle will be dedicated to
develop technical expertise to generate fully acceptable QA/QC data packages for the
drinking water samples to maintain the USEPA approved laboratory status for the
UCMR 4 program.
♦ GWRS Permit & Operational Support – The Advanced Water Quality Assurance
Laboratory (AWQAL) continues to generate operational and permit compliance data in
support of the GWRS project. Regular operational plant monitoring
(weekly/monthly/quarterly) has been reduced after a review of the last 10 years of water
quality data. Furthermore the sample load from quarterly comprehensive testing at 40+
GWRS groundwater monitoring locations will be reduced significantly with most organic
constituents only needing to be tested annually. Conversely, additional support will be
required for new groundwater monitoring wells installed as a part of the Mid Basin
Injection (MBI) Centennial project. Laboratory staff members continue to coordinate
sample loads and investigations with the Water Production Group as well as other
departments and OCSD.
♦ GWRS Optimization Research & Development – The AWQAL continues to support
GWRS–related applied research led by the Research & Development (R&D)
Department. Ongoing support includes water quality testing of potential replacement RO

membrane during their 6-12 month trial periods and testing in support of periodic UV-
AOP pilot reactor experiments investigating process optimization and disinfection
byproduct (DBP) formation. Ongoing grant-funded research projects requiring lab
support include two supported by the Water Environment & Reuse Foundation
(WE&RF) on a rapid nitrosamine analytical method and post-treatment optimization.
New (R&D) research projects for FY18-19 requiring lab support include the US Bureau
of Reclamation grant-supported research projects assessing Closed Circuit Desalination
(CCD) and Forward Osmosis (FO) technologies for water recovery from RO concentrate
recovery and a separate investigation into NDMA precursor removal by advanced
treatment processes.
♦ North & South Basin Groundwater Protection Projects – Both the North Basin
Groundawter Protection Project (NBGPP) and the South Basin Groundwater Protection
Projects (SBGPP) continue to require laboratory support and have been expanded with
monitoring additional wells required as a part of their ongoing Remedial Investigations
(RI).
♦ Santa Ana River Monitoring (SARMON) Program – The SARMON program requires
monthly, quarterly, and annual testing at surface water and groundwater monitoring
sites. The SARMON sample load has been significantly reduced after a review of the
last 10 years of water quality data, with many organic constituents only needing to be
tested annually now.
♦ Replacement of ICP-MS, autosamplers and autodilutors to improve analytical
performance – The Lab needs to replace a 9 year old ICP-MS with a new generation of
ICP-MS to improve analytical sensitivity and reliability of trace element analysis. The
workload of ICP-MS analysis is increasing and low level detection capability is required
for GWRS plant, groundwater basin, drinking water samples and UCMR 4 program to
support the minimum reporting level of 0.3 ppb Germanium and 0.4 ppb Manganese.
♦ Improved Laboratory Productivity and Cost Containment – The AWQAL team takes
great pride in the development of cost efficient high quality processes. We continue to
work closely with the Purchasing staff to further expand the automated reorder process
for those products and reagents we continuously utilize within our analyses. Lab staff
members work closely with our vendors to secure the best possible pricing on
instruments, support, and supplies. We continue to develop our staff support around a
flexible “team” structure through a cross training schedule and team working
environment, which has kept District labor demands at the lowest possible level. Staff
members are rotated and cross trained through all methods of analysis, to ensure
flexibility within analytical capabilities. Laboratory staff members continue to advance
technological improvements with globally recognized instrument vendors to further
address cost effectiveness and exceptional laboratory services. Potential adjustments
to monitoring frequencies will need to be properly coordinated through the lab to keep
efficiencies at a high level. Sample load scheduling must be properly planned so that
additional benefits to our monitoring programs can be achieved. We have also used the
vendors to provide in-house training and user group workshops on preventive
maintenance (PM) and data system applications on the more sophisticated analytical
instrumentation. This has helped reduce our training expenses, and has promoted the
District’s image as a leader in water quality technology.

Account Information Actual Budget Proposed Budget
Total $5,172,470 $5,425,281 $5,709,210

The laboratory is a service oriented department, and we continue to provide analytical support
to a wide range of District programs. New initiatives and support will be based on specific
project requirements within several departments and investigations.
♦ GWRS Research and Optimization – Two new USBR grant-supported projects
♦ GWRS Groundwater monitoring – new monitoring wells for the MBI Centennial Project
♦ Provide analytical support and maintain approved status for the UCMR4 program
♦ North and South Basin Protection Projects and associated litigation data support
♦ Bi-annual State ELAP Audit and adopting TNI quality system by January 2021
♦ Complete the implementation of New Matrix-LIMS replacing 15+ year old Aspen LIMS
♦ Investigation of local occurrence, fate, and transport of perfluorinated compounds
II Core Activities
The Advanced Water Quality Assurance Laboratory utilizes cost-effective analytical services in
support of all monitoring programs and projects required by the District. Water quality data
generated by the laboratory provides critical analytical information, needed to make timely
accurate decisions, for regulatory requirements as well as the direction and support of District
policies. Our facility is designed as a compliance-monitoring laboratory certified with the State
of California and US EPA.
Basic core laboratory activities include:
♦ Support Groundwater Producer’s required drinking water quality compliance testing and
source assessments.
♦ Support basin wide groundwater monitoring programs, and provide both compliance
and informational analytical data. Ensure proper method compliance for state and
federal drinking water requirements. Protection of the Basin and the SAR through
analytical monitoring.
♦ Support and direction of emerging contaminants and water quality issues, to address
both GWRS plant, mid injection well development and basin wide concerns.
♦ Procurement of needed analytical State Certifications with the SWRCB, as well as
development of any needed EPA methodology. Support federal monitoring programs
as requested by the Groundwater Producers approved by District management –
UCMR
♦ Support for the Green Acres Project (GAP) facility for both permit requirements and
operational feedback.

♦ Support investigations in both treatment research and in-house analytical

methodologies. Provide solutions to improve cost effectiveness - both within plant
processes as well as with laboratory procedures.

The AWQA-Laboratory’s support has always been a strictly core activity department without
many non-required duties. This has been based on years of natural growth in workload, which
has caused all non-essential tasks to be dropped. Non-core activities (secondary priority
compared to core activities) conducted by the AWQA-Laboratory group include:
♦ Support of research and monitoring programs not directly benefiting District or
laboratory processes.
♦ Support of public relations tours and NWRI investigations and studies.
♦ Support of Department of Homeland Security and CAMALnet investigations for
emergency response.

New Instrumentation - The new generation of ICP-MS will be installed to provide an
enhanced performance and the following benefits not available with the 9-year old
system, which is at the end of its useful life expectancy:
• Software performs dilutions automatically to reduce analytical time and labor

• Smart gas dilution for measuring high and low-level elements simultaneously
• 3 Distinct Modes of Operation, 3 cone design, and 3 correction gas channels
• Maintenance free coil, lens and semi maintenance free single pump
• Modem which allows remote trouble shooting and remote operation of system
• Bench top design enabling it to be placed directly against the wall.
GWRS Operational, Research, and Compliance Support – Laboratory support of the

GWRS is critical in maintaining compliance and permit goals. We will continue to
support all process investigations that require analytical data. Continued focus on
emerging targets and future investigations into AOP/UV disinfection by-products will be
required. Total support of the GWRS represents nearly a third of the workload received
by our department. GWRS research through all treatment steps and the proposed RO
concentrate recovery pilot studies will be required within this budget cycle.
Emerging Contaminant Method Development and Improvement – The laboratory seeks

the following improvements and enhancements to its current emerging contaminant
methods:
• Lowering the detection limit for sucralose from 100 ppt to 10 ppt or lower, in
support of RO removal efficiency demonstration
• Assessing the possibility of using direct injection for the CEC method in order to
enhance throughput by avoiding sample extraction prior to analysis. Typically,

direct injection does not permit the same level of accuracy and sensitivity at very
low concentrations, yet may be suitable for many District samples
• Adding additional perfluorinated targets to EPA Method 537
• Moving the AWQAL’s method for N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) from liquid-
liquid extraction to solid phase extraction for all non-wastewater matrices, while
also investigating increasing the sensitivity of NMOR detection
New LIMS Implementation – The new LIMS will provide an established upgrade path
that will keep the new LIMS up to date with rapidly changing technology. LIMS has
consistently been one of the most cost-effective software applications utilized at the
District. LIMS is an outstanding tool for the reporting of water quality data from our
facility. Managing AWQA-Lab’s data is a very complex task. In FY 2016-2017, 29
Laboratory staff processed 19,545 samples, reported 408,114 test results to WRMS,
and produced over 500,000 Quality Control test results. In 2017, over 10 million data
points were added to LIMS.
During FY 2016 – 2017, the District contracted with a software vendor, Autoscribe, to
develop and configure a new LIMS, called Matrix. It is anticipated that this Matrix LIMS
will be in working production for the lab by September 2018. Staff must work with the
LIMS vendor to plan, organize, direct and control the transition to the new Matrix-LIMS.
As the AWQAL moves to the new Matrix-LIMS, staff will be trained to play a larger role
in maintaining and configuring new Matrix-LIMS. Four current AWQA-Lab staff will be
trained to change quality control acceptance ranges, changes currently done by the
LIMS Administrator or Information Services. Trained AWQA-Lab staff will not only
manage their data but also configure LIMS without writing computer code. Trained
AWQAL staff will understand its work processes and can rapidly configure LIMS based
on that expert knowledge. This training is cost-effective because LIMS configuration
requests to Information Services will be reduced.
Optimization of Laboratory Efficiencies – Staff & Processes – The laboratory staff

continues to work as a cohesive team, and support flexibility continues to be a required
goal of our department. Two new staff will start in January 2018 and staff training is a
critical support issue and we continue to increase operational knowledge of our
analytical systems. This has helped to expand coverage during our heaviest workloads.
The District’s laboratory also stresses process efficiencies and cost effectiveness. Staff
members continue to investigate improvements to the supply ordering process and
streamlining overall data analysis and reporting. Furthermore, due to the significant
reduction in sample loads from the GWRS Groundwater Monitoring and SARMON
programs, resources have been freed up for UCRM4 testing, R&D project support, and
additional method development and optimization. Laboratory staff will need to be agile
and flexible to take on a more diverse and dynamic sample load.

Major activities not being fully supported include:
♦ Outsourced monitoring – EPA 548.1 (endothall), EPA 556 (formaldehyde),
bacteriophage, radioactivity, asbestos, and dioxin monitoring needs are all farmed out to
specific contract labs. This is currently a cost-efficient approach by reducing chemical
cost and staff overtime as these water quality concerns does not require significant
monitoring frequencies. Based on current inputs, phenoxy acid herbicides, endothall,
formaldehyde phage testing do not appear to have an increased focus within District
monitoring programs, which would require in-house monitoring. The Lab has to balance
the workloads from the plant expansion and additional research project samples with
the limited analytical systems and staff resources.
♦ Method Development – As we continue to increase analytical capabilities within overall
monitoring support, it has been difficult to address future support requirements such as
bringing on-line 8 Nitrosamines using GC/MS/MS using Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
and Perfluoroalkyl Acids, NDELA and 10 ppt RDL for Sucralose using LC/MS/MS. A
specific area of concern is based on CEC monitoring and the use of the LC/MS/MS
system for both drinking water and wastewater samples. Increased support loads on
this system can generate workload backlogs, and thus will influence any additional
method development support using this system. Proper sample load projections must
be utilized to determine these future analytical support requirements. It is difficult to
support continued expansion of capabilities without adjustment to monitoring frequency
or support resources; proper scheduling is the key to these method development
issues.
♦ Research Activities and Agency Meetings – The Laboratory continues to support District
research activities. However, it is critical that these support requirements be properly
coordinated with laboratory resources. This budget cycle may provide some additional
support windows for investigations, especially if compliance requirements can be
reduced to annual samplings. Research demands focused on AOP, MF, RO, UV,
peroxide, and OCSD Plant No. 2: UF/MF pilot studies to support final GWRS expansion
design can benefit from an early notification of these analytical needs. Issues
concerning CEC monitoring and analysis of new targets move quickly, thus it is critical
for laboratory staff members to attend meetings with other agencies and researchers
that are providing similar support. Information gained from such meetings has helped
shape our support and target lists. Attending these informative meetings is based on
workload requirements and compliance duties.
♦ CAMALnet (California Mutual Aid Laboratory network) & Department of Homeland
Security Support – There are still efforts at the State and Federal levels to address
water security issues, and the overall coordination of analytical support. Based on
workloads and duties, we have not been an active player in supporting these groups.
The development of specific methods to address potential targeting of water resources
is currently not within our scope. The District’s laboratory will continue to monitor the
progress of these programs, through adjunct participation of CAMALnet (California
Mutual Aid Laboratory network) and Department of Homeland Security. This state level
program includes active participation by SWRCB and MWD addressing these water
security/analysis related concerns.

VI Staff Additions Needed for FY 2018-19

N/A
VII Future Issues

In the next two to three years, issues the District will need to consider include:
♦ Continue laboratory support of the unregulated contaminant monitoring rule (UCMR),
which is approved and directed by the District’s Board. UCMR4 monitoring will run from
March 018 until 2020; an annual program audit by EPA and the method compliance will
be required within the next several budget cycles.
♦ Conditions may arise where we need to develop a more sensitive analytical method for
Nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA), NMOR, sucralose and other synthetic chemical
compounds. LC/MS/MS or GC/MS/MS systems could be utilized to achieve these lower
reporting levels.
♦ The District lab operates 5 GC/MS-ion trap systems manufactured by Varian Instrument
Inc. After Agilent Technologies took over Varian Instrument Inc. in 2011, Agilent
Technologies discounted the MS-ion trap technology and will end the MS-ion trap
system support in 2-3 years. The lab is planning to replace 5 GC/MS-ion trap systems
aged 7-10 years by next 2-3 years to support UCMR program and Title 22 analysis.
♦ As cited above, the geology department has expressed interest in monitoring specific
targets at lower than current reportable levels. Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MtBE) and
Bromate are two such examples, where lower reportable levels would benefit monitoring
programs by identifying the leading edge of contamination plumes, or an earlier
notification of water quality concerns before exceeding an MCL. Other analytical
methods are currently available that would provide enhanced sensitivity to address
these needs, depending on target. Again, LC/MS/MS or GC/MS/MS could be utilized to
achieve these lower levels of reporting. This would require the acquisition of these
instruments to provide this enhanced monitoring support.
♦ We continue to get feedback from State officials and other laboratories that speciation
of arsenic may be required as a future water quality monitoring criteria. As with the
examples above, this would require other hyphenated techniques – liquid
chromatography followed by HG-ICP/MS analysis to generate this level of data. We will
continue to monitor this future requirement, which may require adjustment to our
analytical capabilities.
♦ UV/AOP treatment within the GWRS continues to warrant further investigation and
research. Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) specific to this treatment technology have
not been fully studied or investigated. This is an area that should be developed as an
“investigative” monitoring program.
♦ We continue to develop the analytical techniques to detect extremely low levels (parts
per trillion: ppt) of 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP), Methadone, Nitrosodiethanolamine
(NDELA), p-Chlorobenzene Sulfonic Acid (p-CBSA), Methyl Isothiocyanate (MITC), and
Sucralose within the GWRS system and the monitoring wells close to the recharge
basin. These target compounds are moderately removed within the treatment process
and could be linked to source control issues. The District has detected significant levels
(parts per billion: ppb) of Sucralose coming through the GWR System. The laboratory

continues to monitor persistent emerging contaminants using the automated solid phase
extraction (SPE) techniques and tandem mass spectrometry systems.
♦ The District continues to strengthen our interactions and communications with Orange
County Sanitation District’s laboratory and source control programs. This relationship
has benefited many of the water quality monitoring and characterization projects that
have impacted our processes: NDMA formation study, 1,4-dioxane and 1,3-dioxolane
source control, chemicals of emerging concern (CECs), etc. We continue to see
potential benefits in collaboration and regulatory alignment with OCSD divisions, as we
further investigate new targets, GWRS performance and phase II final expansion
project.
♦ Constituents of Emerging Concern (CECs) continue to receive political attention as a
significant water quality issue. As our laboratory supports the monitoring of this issue, it
is important to develop a proper priority setting process by which targets are brought on-
line within our analytical monitoring programs. CEC monitoring requires significant
analytical support, and technical expertise using highly sensitive analytical systems
such as LC/MS/MS, IC/MS and GC/MS/MS, and an enhanced target selection process
is needed to effectively keep analytical resources properly addressed. Currently, the
lab is applying EPA Method 537 Rev. 1.1 to include the branched PFOA isomer for total
PFOA determination to verify the 70 ppt heath advisory limit set by USEPA. This is
especially true as additional research in this field will continue to identify new targets of
concern, before SWRCB and EPA can fully address them within any monitoring criteria.

GRANT FUNDED RESEARCH:

These projects are funded wholly or partially through external grants, including funding
for OCWD labor and/or equipment/supplies.
♦ Middle Santa Ana River Pathogen Total Maximum Daily Load Study,
funded by SAWPA (9955) [2008 to present] – This is a long-term study
managed by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA), with
OCWD and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) as Technical
Leads, and funding and sampling support from San Bernardino County Flood
Control District, Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District, other counties, and RWQCB. The objective is to evaluate pathogen
sources in the Santa Ana River (SAR) Watershed. OCWD will continue in a
support role for Bacteroides analysis and limited meeting participation. As

with previous years, R&D will analyze for presence/absence (P/A) of

Bacteroides and additional qPCR-based markers; if required, concentrations
will be determined. In past years, though not expected for this year, R&D
also analyzed for fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in the Upper SAR to correlate
with the qPCR-based markers. OCWD is compensated on a per-sample
basis, which includes analysis costs plus staff time for laboratory work,
meeting participation, and report writing.
♦ Improving Membrane Treatment Energy Efficiency through Monitoring

and Removal of Colloidal Particle Foulants, funded by California Energy
Commission (CEC) (9952) [2015 to 2018] – OCWD is a demonstration site
for this $1.2 million study funded by CEC and led by Kennedy/Jenks
Consultants to improve the energy efficiency of low pressure membrane
treatment (e.g., MF) of recycled water through online monitoring (Malvern
Instruments Nanosight NS500) and removal (via pre-treatment) of colloidal
particles that cause fouling. R&D is providing project support via R&D’s
Engineering Research Center (ERC) pilot equipment and R&D staff time for
piloting operational support, project experimental design, membrane
autopsies, and other analysis. OCWD received $40,000 funding from CEC to
cover equipment costs (non-labor). Data analysis and reporting will continue
in FY 2018-19.
♦ Evaluating Post-Treatment Challenges for Potable Reuse Applications,

funded by WE&RF (9998) [2016 to 2018] – This study is investigating post-
treatment optimization at AWPF, to balance competing goals of maintaining
pipeline integrity while minimizing NDMA reformation and aquifer recharge
metals mobilization. OCWD, including R&D, has conducted research and
data collection on each topic independently; this WE&RF project is an
opportunity to interpret these findings together and collect additional data to
address knowledge gaps. The project team consists of OCWD, Trussell
Technologies, and Stanford University, together with several participating
utilities that contributed cash funding. Research tasks will be completed for
this project by mid-2018, with the study final report as well as journal
publications and conference presentations completed later in FY 2018-19.
♦ Utility Validation of Alternative Method for NDMA Analysis Requiring

Less Time, Cost, and Sample Volume, funded by WE&RF (9994) [2017 to
2018] – This project was funded beginning January 2017 through the WE&RF
Unsolicited Research Program. R&D is investigating and validating a novel
NDMA benchtop analysis method that has potential for online (real-time) use.
The method was developed by Professor Hitoshi Kodamatani (Kagoshima
University, Japan) and has been adapted to recycled waters (Professor
Takahiro Fujioka, Nagasaki University, Japan). Professors Kodamatani and
Fujioka are advisors on the WE&RF study and have loaned OCWD the
prototype detector. R&D staff obtained and repurposed a high performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) instrument that was no longer needed by the
OCWD AWQAL. The method couples the HPLC with automated

photochemical reaction (PR) and chemiluminescence (CL) detection of

NDMA and other nitrosamines. The HPLC-PR-CL method is able to
quantitate NDMA to approximately 1.5 ng/L. Through this study, the method
is being tested for reproducibility, detection limit, matrix interference, and is
being compared to the AWQAL method via split sample results. Research
tasks will be completed for this project by June 2018, with the final report as
well as journal publications and conference presentations completed later in
FY 2018-19.
♦ Characterization of the Microbiome of a State-of-the-Art Water Reuse

System to Enhance Treatment Performance, funded by USBR and
WE&RF (9992) [Sep 2016 to Aug 2018] – Funding for this study began in
September 2016 from US Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), with some
supplementary funding from Water Environment and Reuse Foundation
(WE&RF). The goal of the study is to apply Next Generation Sequencing
(NGS) combined with CosmosID’s highly curated sequence databases to
identify microbial community signatures and their transformations through the
GWRS treatment processes. The study is a collaboration with Colorado
School of Mines and seeks to address uncertainties associated with microbial
water quality by using NGS methods to improve understanding and
monitoring of the advanced treatment process. In addition to identifying the
microbial communities that are comprised of bacteria, protozoa, fungi,
viruses, pathogens, and antibiotic resistance genes present at each stage of
advanced treatment and in biofilms, the study assesses correlations and
possible relationships between the microbial communities and the standard
bulk water quality monitoring and operating parameters used for GWRS (e.g.
chlorine, turbidity, total organic carbon (TOC), electric conductivity (EC),
transmembrane pressure). A draft of the final report is expected to be
completed by January 2018; additional analyses, reports and manuscripts are
expected to be submitted in FY 2018-19 after the USBR report has been
accepted.
♦ Metagenomic Analysis to Ensure Water Quality and Safety, funded by

NSF (EAGER:Collaborative) and a water utility (1790 & 9992) [Aug 2017
to Aug 2018] – Funding for this study (Award Abstract #1742870) began
August 2017 from NSF with a some additional funding from a drinking water
utility. The goal of the study is to analyze various water and biofilm samples
to identify communities of microorganisms that include bacteria, protozoa,
fungi, viruses, pathogens, indicator organisms, antibiotic and virulence genes
by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics, employing the
highly curated DNA sequence database from CosmosID. This study seeks to
identify the temporal, seasonal, and operational shifts in the microbial
communities associated with GWRS treatment and with conventional
treatment processes. In addition to DNA sequence analysis, RNA (i.e.,
cDNA) will also be analyzed to identify communities RNA viruses and
functional genes and related organisms in the communities. During FY 2017-
18, the data collection and overall tasks for the study will be completed.

During FY 2018-19, a report to NSF will be developed and submitted, as well

as subsequent journal publication(s).
♦ Understanding Formation of a Critical Disinfection Byproduct: NDMA

and Previously Unidentified NDMA Precursors in Advanced Potable
Reuse Treatment Plants, funded by USBR (1782) [2018 to 2019] – This
project was funded by the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) for a
1.5-year study beginning January 1, 2018. R&D is investigating the
occurrence and removal of NDMA precursors at AWPF as well as conducting
high-frequency monitoring of NDMA to determine diurnal, temporal and
seasonal trends in NDMA occurrence. Additionally, R&D is partnering with
San Diego State University, University of Nevada-Reno and University of
Colorado-Boulder to complete non-targeted analysis of AWPF waters, which
will identify previously unknown compounds and determine their removal or
reduction during the UV/AOP process. Identification of NDMA precursors and
assessment of their removal via different treatment processes will aid in the
understanding of NDMA appearance post-treatment.
♦ Increasing Potable Water Recovery to >95%: Pilot Evaluation of Closed

Circuit Desalination (CCD) and Forward Osmosis (FO) Alternatives for
Concentrate Treatment, funded by U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR)
(1781) [2017 to 2018] – This project was funded by USBR for a fifteen-month
study (1.25 year) beginning January 1, 2018. The objective of this study is to
evaluate two alternative treatment technologies at pilot scale to recover water
from reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate generated from an advanced potable
reuse treatment facility. Concentrate treatment will be evaluated in the
proposed study using closed circuit desalination (CCD) and forward osmosis
(FO) as alternative technologies. Successful treatment and recovery of RO
concentrate at advanced potable reuse facilities will minimize the volume of
the waste stream while generating more water, increasing overall facility
water recovery (plant efficiency) from 85% to greater than 90 or 95%. Pilot
operational feasibility and optimization will be completed prior to the proposed
work. This study will focus on pilot performance with respect to water quality,
treatability, and acceptance for potable reuse. The pilot-scale study of CCD
and FO will include comprehensive water quality testing of the product water
for chemical constituents and microorganisms, determination of virus log
removal via seeding studies, confirmation of suitability for subsequent
UV/AOP treatment, and cost analysis.
OTHER RESEARCH:
These projects are funded by OCWD. For some projects consisting of collaboration
between OCWD R&D and a university or technology partner, the project partner have
grant funding, or OCWD may be providing funding to the partner to support the
research. This is indicated in the summaries below where applicable.

AWPF PROCESS OPTIMIZATION (9952):

♦ Task 1: AWPF Support – R&D will continue to engage in short-term
research activities on an ad-hoc basis to assist the Water Production and
Engineering Departments in solving problems arising during operation of the
AWPF. Examples of applied research under this activity have included:
o Assisting Engineering and Water Production staff to determine
mechanisms and solutions for GWRS Pipeline and Barrier Pipeline
lining erosion.
o Autopsy (microbial and chemical analysis) of fouled MF and RO
membranes from the AWPF and ERC.
o Providing controls and sampling apparatus for ongoing AWPF RO
phage monitoring.
o Molecular biological and assimilable organic carbon (AOC) analysis of
monitoring well samples.
o Annual reports and presentations to the NWRI Independent Advisory
Panel (IAP) regarding GWRS performance.
o Providing microbial analysis and support (IDEXX) for Water Production

and AWQAL.
♦ Task 2: MF Performance/Fouling Research – R&D is completing MF/UF

product testing via piloting at the ERC (see next section) which may continue
in FY 2018-19. With respect to research projects, R&D will evaluate:
o Influence of Combined Chlorine Exposure on MF Efficiency – It is
generally thought that exposure to combined chlorine improves MF
efficiency by reducing biological fouling. There appears to be a paucity
of direct quantitative evidence supporting this hypothesis. Moreover,
recent studies indicate that nanoparticulate pore plugging and not
biological fouling is the primary mechanism leading to reduction in MF
performance in the AWPF. A short-term study is proposed to quantify
the impact that combined chlorine species have on MF fouling by
utilizing two pilot MF units in parallel to compare the rate of flux decay
and time to CIP in the presence and absence of combined chlorine
under nominal AWPF operating conditions.
o Pilot Scale Comparison of Hydrogen Peroxide to Combined

Chlorine as an MF and RO Biocide – Pending availability of pilot
units and ongoing discussions with Professor Martin Reinhard
(Stanford University), this study would utilize MF and RO pilot units to
evaluate the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide as an alternative to
monochloramine as an MF and RO biocide. Special attention would be
paid to hydrogen peroxide demand over time and the required dosing
strategies necessary to maintain an effective hydrogen peroxide
residual throughout MF and RO. Previous research (laboratory scale)

has indicated that hydrogen peroxide at relatively low dosages (4-5

mg/L) can act as a suitable biocide, reducing accumulation of
microorganisms and improving RO performance, as observed for
combined chlorine. Hydrogen peroxide would be desirable for use in
this role because of its reduced disinfection byproduct formation and
the potential cost-savings for the AWPF. OCWD would fund the
university partner for technical support and data analysis.
♦ Task 3: RO Performance/Fouling Research – In addition to ERC pilot

studies related to RO (see next section), R&D will conduct investigations of
RO fouling aimed at:
o Cartridge Filter Performance Evaluation using the Rapid ATP
Assay [2015 to present] – Begun in 2015 with support of Water
Production, R&D will continue monitoring cartridge filters (CF) for
immediate and long-term performance. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
levels in the CF effluent (RO feed water) serve as a good indicator of
RO biofouling potential (Rapid LuminUltra kit method) and will be used
to monitor CF performance.
o Antiscalant evaluation and dose optimization using a real-time
membrane scale monitor (MeMo) [2018 to 2019] – In the proposed
study, a real-time scale monitor (MeMo) system provided by Noria
Water (based on patented University of California, Los Angeles
(UCLA) technology) will be evaluated, installed on the concentrate line
of an RO pilot system treating GWRS RO feed water. OCWD would
purchase the MeMo system from Noria Water. The MeMo system will
provide direct membrane surface imaging and allow quantification of
the onset of mineral scaling/fouling and crystal growth kinetics.
Following this approach, MeMo application for future testing could
including comparing different antiscalants, including determining
optimal dose, to evaluate antiscalant effectiveness in scaling
mitigation.
o Assessment of Selected Methodologies for Monitoring the
Integrity of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes [2017-2019] – RO
provides a barrier to salts, dissolved chemicals, particles, and
microorganisms. There are no integrity monitoring online methods for
RO systems that directly demonstrate microbial removal. The true
barrier power of the RO is not recognized by the regulatory agencies,
often only ≤ 2 log removal credits are granted, based on currently
available methods for integrity monitoring. This study will assess a
range of online monitoring methods including for RO integrity including
emission excitation matrices (fluorophores /dissolved organic matter
rejection) compared to conventionally monitored electrical conductivity
(EC) and total organic carbon (TOC), using an RO pilot at ERC.
Improved RO membrane integrity monitoring techniques will allow
greater credit for virus removal for IPR/DPR applications. The goal of

this study will be to demonstrate a greater than 2-log removal of an

indicator and ideally greater than 3 or 4 logs.
♦ Task 4: Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) Studies – R&D will continue

research aimed at characterizing the chemical dynamics of the GWRS
UV/H 2 O 2 process and optimizing the performance of the Trojan Technologies
UVPhox reactor train through analysis of water quality, system operational
parameters and UV pilot reactor studies. Planned studies include:
o H 2 O 2 /Chloramine Matrix Pilot Studies [~2008 to present] – During
UV/AOP treatment, UV irradiation and HO• radicals derived from
hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) are not solely responsible for bringing about
oxidation; combined chlorine species (mono- and di-chloramine)
present in the UV/AOP feed water may also play a significant role.
R&D will continue to investigate removal of 1,4-dioxane and
additionally acetone and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) at varying H 2 O 2 and
combined chlorine levels utilizing the onsite UV/AOP pilot reactor. For
FY 2018-19, studies will focus on identifying the conditions for which
optimal 1,4-dioxane removal occurs, based on past data suggesting
synergistic effects of chloramine and H 2 O 2 . This work has been
conducted in collaboration with Professor Haizhou Liu in the Chemical
and Environmental Engineering Department at University of California,
Riverside (UCR) through a Water Research Foundation (WaterRF)
grant to UCR funded beginning 2017, WRF-4699 Kinetics Modeling
and Experimental Investigation of Chloramine Photolysis in Ultraviolet-
Driven Advanced Water Treatment. OCWD’s FY2016-17 matching
contribution was $25,000.
o Optimization of UV/AOP with Chloramine and H 2 O 2 via
Computational Modeling Followed by Pilot-Scale Validation [2015
to present] – R&D will continue ongoing collaborative information
exchange with Professor Liu (UCR). Dr. Liu models radical chemical
reactions in the UV/AOP to predict destruction of target compounds
(e.g., NDMA, 1,4-dioxane) given the oxidant concentrations of
chloramine and H 2 O 2 . These oxidants can produce unique reactive
species under UV photolysis, and the solution chemical conditions
(e.g., pH; dose of oxidant) can be optimized through computational
modeling to maximize contaminant degradation, minimize the chemical
dosage cost and minimize the energy cost of UV/AOP of the AWPF.
The multivariate computational kinetic model uses reaction rate
constants determined from literature and those provided by Dr.
Stephen Mezyk of RadKEM from complimentary ongoing R&D
collaborations (see below). OCWD funding is not necessary for
FY2018-19 as Dr. Liu has been awarded WaterRF (see previous,
above) and NSF funding to build on model development work from
previous OCWD funded studies to continue to develop the model. Dr.
Liu will validate the model predictions using the R&D UV/AOP pilot
reactor.

o Experimental Investigation of Chloramine and Persulfate Aqueous

Photochemistry and Development of Efficient UV-Based Water
Reuse Treatment [2016 to 2019] – This is a NSF-GOALI project in
collaboration with Professor Liu at UCR, with NSF funding to UCR.
This work will elucidate the UV-driven AOP of trace organic
contaminants in RO permeate on the basis of two oxidants: chloramine
and persulfate. Persulfate could be used as a novel oxidant due to its
high yield of sulfate radicals and conversion to hydroxyl radicals. The
hypothesis of this research is that chloramine and persulfate can
produce unique reactive species under UV photolysis, and the solution
chemical conditions can be optimized to maximize contaminant
degradation and minimize the energy footprint of AOP water treatment.
OCWD funding is not required for this project. Dr. Liu was awarded a
3-year $330,000 grant from NSF, and OCWD is an industrial partner.
The project started in 2016; however, work with OCWD’s pilot UVAOP
reactor in collaboration with UCR will not begin until July 2018.
o Non-Targeted GCxGC TOF-MS [2013 to present] – This is a
collaborative project with Professor Eunha Hoh of San Diego State
University Graduate School of Public Health to continue non-targeted
analysis (NTA) of trace organic compounds present in RO permeate
and the UV/AOP product water via dual gas chromatography (GC) time
of flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOF-MS). In the first two years,
the method of extraction and analysis was established with the focus
on GC peaks that were (automatically) identifiable by the NIST
software database that represented approximately 50% of the sample
peaks. In FY 2017-18, SDSU evaluated existing data with the aim of
characterizing removal as a function of chemical properties of
compounds, for example alkanes, aldehydes, aromatic compounds,
etc., and collected samples for additional NTA from UV/AOP pilot trials
that are already planned as part of another study (WE&RF-funded 16-
01 Post Treatment study) to compare different oxidants used in the
UV/AOP pilot. For FY 2018-19, NTA work will continue under a USBR
grant (see previous section on grant funded research, USBR NDMA
study) that was awarded to R&D for work associated with the
identification of NDMA precursors.
♦ Task 5: Water Quality Characterization at AWPF

o Characterization of NDMA Precursors Using the Polarity Rapid
Assessment Method (PRAM) and Ultrafiltration [2018 to 2019] –
R&D will collaborate with and fund UCLA to complete a comprehensive
evaluation of the nature of NDMA precursors in AWPF waters. Water
will be collected before and after various chemical additions and
treatment processes to determine how they influence the chemical
structure (polarity and molecular weight) of NDMA precursors and how
well different types of NDMA precursors are removed by various
processes.

o Investigation of Water Quality and Advanced Treatment via

Fluorescence Decay by EEM Spectroscopy [Planned 2016 to 2018]
– R&D will continue use of excitation emission matrix spectroscopy
(EEMS) (Horiba Aqualog purchased in 2015) to investigate removal of
fluorophores by advanced treatment at GWRS including MF, RO, and
UV/AOP. Water quality monitoring by EEMS related to seasonal MF
membrane fouling and across GWRS will be reported in a scientific
publication in collaboration with University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Other
R&D work related to EEMS planned for FY 2018-19 includes
assessment as a potential surrogate for constituents such as organics
and microorganisms for regulatory virus log removal credit across RO
and investigation of correlation with trace organics constituents such
as NDMA precursors in MF feed and other monitoring points.
♦ Task 6: Treatment and Recovery of Water from RO Concentrate

o Photobiological Water Treatment Process to Enable More
Efficient Water Recovery in Advanced Water Reclamation – Dr.
Keisuke Ikehata (PACE, Fountain Valley, CA) will locate a small
bench-scale flow-through photobiological reactor at the AWPF to
utilizes diatoms to remove silica, inorganic salts and trace organic
contaminants from RO concentrate. This project is a continuation of Dr.
Ikehata’s studies that were initially funded by NSF and the USBR (no
funding from OCWD).
o Water Recovery from RO Concentrate via CCD and FO – See

Task 4 in next section (ERC) for Phase I testing and see earlier section
on grant funded projects for Phase II testing.
ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER (9952):

Projects conducted at the ERC are summarized below. These projects are all pilot-scale
evaluations that tend to be very applied and/or focused on demonstration of an
available technology or product.
A list of equipment and systems supporting these activities is also presented in Table 1.
♦ Task 1: Low-Pressure Membrane Technology Evaluation [2015 to

present] – This program consists of an ongoing effort to evaluate alternative
low-pressure membrane technologies (i.e., MF and ultrafiltration [UF])
specifically for the GWRS. The District is currently operating MF membranes
which have reached their end-of-life; further, the 30-mgd GWRS Final
Expansion has been approved and formal engineering design has begun in
2017. Long-term piloting evaluations for both MF and UF products are
currently underway at the ERC and at OCSD Plant No. 2 with a number of
leading manufacturers, including Evoqua Water Technologies, Toray
Industries, Inc. and Scinor North America. Identifying suitable technologies

will provide staff with options for replacing existing AWPF membranes and for
the GWRS Final Expansion. These evaluations were mostly completed in FY
2017-18 due to the design schedule for Final Expansion. Long-term
confirmation testing of selected products will likely continue in FY 2018-19.
♦ Task 2: Antiscalant Testing Program [2008 to present] – The GWRS RO

system requires specialty chemicals, including antiscalant and acid, to
prevent the precipitation of sparingly soluble minerals which foul the
membranes. Identifying the appropriate antiscalant product, dosage and feed
water pH is an important challenge. R&D will continue pilot-scale testing at
the ERC using RO pilots to evaluate antiscalant products, as well as
monitoring performance using three systems (B01, B02 and A03 3rd Stage
Monitoring Vessels) currently operating within the GWRS AWPF RO facility.
Antiscalant products found to be effective through these efforts will be short-
listed for bidding through the District’s procurement process. To date, this
program has resulted in cost-savings totaling in excess of $1,000,000
annually due to reduced acid usage.
♦ Task 3: RO Membrane Procurement Program [2009 to present] –

Commercial RO membrane products continue to be developed which pose
the potential for significant benefits in enhanced permeability and rejection.
Products are evaluated by R&D through conducting long-term testing using a
series of eight test vessels located in the GWRS RO facility. Products
deemed successful are short-listed for future membrane procurements. The
goal is to expand the list of pre-qualified products to create a competitive
environment within the District’s procurement process. R&D will continue to
consider prototype membranes, such as currently being tested from Dow
Water & Process Solutions, for near-commercial products to streamline the
development and evaluation of the very latest membrane chemistries and
technologies. These RO products are evaluated in satellite vessels at the
GWRS RO facility.
Task 4: Water Recovery from RO Concentrate via CCD and FO [2014 to

present] – R&D is collaborating with technology providers to pilot systems for
enhanced RO recovery, including ongoing evaluation of closed circuit
desalination (CCD) using a pilot system that has been purchased by OCWD
and delivered in Fall 2017, with funding to Desalitech (the technology
provider) from OCWD; and an ongoing study with Porifera, Inc. on forward
osmosis (FO) treatment of RO concentrate (funded by the California Energy
Commission [CEC]). This operational-focused phase of testing for both CCD
and FO is considered Phase I; a second phase of testing will be completed in
FY2018-19 funded by USBR (see earlier section on grant funded projects).

TALBERT BARRIER O&M (9908):

♦ Injection Well Fouling and Pipeline Integrity Issues – R&D staff will
continue to provide ad hoc support for Barrier Operations, including
microscopic, biological and biochemical analysis, as well as numerical
analysis of field data as necessary. This includes assisting Water
Production/Barrier staff in evaluating and monitoring particle sloughing in the
GWRS Pipeline and Barrier Pipeline, and assisting Water Production/Barrier
staff in evaluating the effect of Mid Basin Injection Well (MBI) fouling as the
function of particle sloughing from the GWRS Pipeline.
FOREBAY O&M (9920):

♦ Task 1: Desilting Demonstration Project Phase III Support [2013 to
present] – Led by the Planning Department, this project assesses the field-
scale performance of a subsurface passive collection unit (riverbed filtration
system) placed below the off-river facilities to desilt Santa Ana River (SAR)
water and provide this as recharge water to Olive Basin. R&D staff at the
Field Research Laboratory (FRL) in Anaheim provides support to this project
in the form of water sample collection and analyses (total suspended solids
[TSS], organics content, turbidity and particle profile/distribution). FRL staff
also conducts hydraulic testing to compare performance by changing
experiment configurations (opening and closing of lateral valves to watch
performance comparison).
♦ Task 2: Recharge Enhancement Working Group (REWG) Support – In

addition to supporting the specific projects listed above, R&D staff at the Field
Research Laboratory (FRL) and Fountain Valley facility will continue to
provide scientific assistance and analytical support for recharge enhancement
projects that are identified as an outcome of REWG during the fiscal year.
This may include:
o Sediment and water sampling using grab and autosampler methods for
parameters including TSS, organic content, protein, carbohydrate, and
chlorophyll content, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH redox potential, AOC,
microbial community analysis, and FIB concentration
o Basin sediment compositional analysis (particle size distribution by wet
sieving methods)
o Soil permeametry
o Field percolation measurements with piezometers
o Characterization of suspended solids contributing to basin fouling
(including particle size distribution and microscopic identification)
o Soil column studies

GWR SYSTEM O&M (9922):

♦ Task 1: Miraloma Basin Percolation Decline Support and Related Soil
Column Study [2014 to present] – Under this project, R&D is evaluating
potential causes of observed percolation rate decline at Miraloma Basin. The
observed clogging has resulted in decreased cleaning intervals from every 12
months to every 3-6 months since the basin was initiated in 2012. A new
basin (La Palma Basin) online since November 2016 is also dedicated to
GWRS FPW, and there was concern that this basin may exhibit similar
behavior (decline in percolation). In FY 2017-18, R&D completed a column
study using Miraloma Basin sand that compares clogging rates between
finished product water (FPW) water, water collected at the end of the GWRS
pipeline at Miraloma, and water collected from Miraloma Basin, which
demonstrated that the pipeline transit, as well as residence time in the pond,
contribute to clogging / slowing of percolation. In FY2018-19, flow and water
quality data will continue to be compiled and analyzed, an internal report
completed, and scientific journal publication developed.
♦ Task 2: Soil Column Test of GWRS FPW Clogging Associated with

Epoxy-coated Pipeline [2018] – Under this project, R&D will evaluate the
benefit of epoxy-coating GWRS pipelines (or alternative lining, pending
Engineering decision) with respect to reducing clogging potential for water
delivery to percolation ponds and injection wells. A soil column study will be
performed to compare percolation rates before and after pipeline epoxy-
coating. The epoxy-coating could enhance GWRS water recharge rates and
also benefit injection wells. The Unit 1 pipeline between AWPF and MBI-1
site will be epoxy coated (targeting September 2018). This stretch of pipeline
delivers GWRS water to the MBI-1 injection well.
♦ Task 3: La Palma Basin Percolation Rate Monitoring Using Fiber Optic
Distributed Temperature Sensing (FODTS) [2016 to 2018] – Under this
project, R&D is collaborating with California State University, Long Beach
(CSULB) to install a FODTS system to monitor percolation rates at La Palma
Basin (newly constructed and dedicated to recharge of advanced treated
recycled water). This technology utilizes heat as a tracer of infiltration
andprovides improved resolution of percolation rates throughout the study site
compared to traditional water balance methods. By tracking spatial and
temporal variations of infiltration across the basin, FODTS can reveal specific
areas where clogging occurs and help to optimize operations by improving
cleaning strategies which enhance long-term basin performance. In FY 2017-
18, CSULB will complete training of R&D staff to process and interpret data
using Matlab software. The team will generate a final report summarizing
findings for the second year of the study and evaluating this technology as a
tool for basin management. In FY 2018-19, R&D will continue collecting,
processing and interpreting data in order to periodically generate heat maps
to display areas of low/ high percolation. Additionally, charts/ tabular data
figures will be generated to show change in percolation over time and in
different locations across the basin to support optimizing cleaning strategies.

PRADO WETLANDS SUPPORT (9983):

♦ Task 1: Prado Wetland Research on Biobarriers [2017 to 2020] – In this
study, funded by the United State Geological Survey (USGS), OCWD is
collaborating with Colorado School of Mines (CSM) to investigate the
enhancement of nitrate attenuation in seven parallel shallow open water
treatment wetlands. The objectives are to reduce the design footprint and
increase the reliability and resiliency of the engineered wetland by enhancing
biological contaminant transformation capacity via passive hydrologic
manipulation utilizing microbially active treatment barriers. Project tasks
include: laboratory and pilot-scale simulations (completed), construction of
field scale systems (completed), assessing nitrogen fate and transport and
quantifying microbial drivers of biogeochemical processes (ongoing). OCWD
has provided in-kind support for construction costs, operation and
maintenance, and limited data coordination and analyses. R&D will continue
providing support for planning and field monitoring as needed in FY 2018-19.

♦ RO Pilot Testing at OCSD Plant No. 2 to Support GWRS Final Expansion
– In cooperation with Water Production staff, R&D may conduct a pilot
evaluation of RO performance at OCSD Plant No. 2. The 30-mgd GWRS
Final Expansion formal engineering design began in 2017. Plant No. 2
effluent will be a source water for the GWRS Final Expansion (blended with
Plant No. 1 effluent). Pilot evaluations for MF and UF products have been
ongoing at the ERC and at OCSD Plant No. 2. Extending this testing to RO
would provide an indication of performance with respect to energy
requirements and scaling/fouling potential of this more challenging feed water
quality.
♦ Development and Optimization of a Bacteroides Human-Specific Fecal

Contamination Assay Using Quantitative PCR (qPCR) – Bacteroides
thetaiotaomicron is a human-specific fecal indicator organism that has been
used as an additional fecal standard since legacy fecal standards are not
human-specific. The OCWD R&D Department is one of a number of
laboratories involved in research to develop qPCR methods capable of
specifically detecting Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt). Methanobrevibacter,
a methanogen found in the human intestine and a putative sewage marker,
has been proposed as a potential indicator of human fecal
contamination. Depending on availability of R&D staff time, R&D will continue
work to develop and optimize qPCR assays and apply Next Generation
Sequencing analyses to identify these markers in microbial communities and
their removal during GWRS treatment, conventional wastewater and drinking
water treatment. In previous years progress was made in further developing
the qPCR assay for Bt and bird-specific marker that are being used for the
TMDL Source Evaluation study. The project was diverted from developing

Methanobrevibacter qPCR primers to developing Helicobacter qPCR assays

for identifying non-human fecal contamination in the MSAR. Both Bt and the
Helicobacter qPCR assay are successfully being used for the MSAR
Pathogen TMDL Source Evaluation study. These assays will be highly useful
for source tracking human fecal and sewage contamination and to confirm
human and non-human markers identified by the NGS studies. R&D will
continue to develop qPCR assays for Bt, Methanobrevibacter and Pepper
mild motile virus (PMMoV), recently identified as a wastewater indicator
organims for use in the MSAR and NGS studies.
♦ Continuation of Second Phase of RO Membrane Fouling Study/Data

Analysis – The purpose of this project would be to define which water quality
parameters serve as predictors of membrane lifetime (via data analysis by
multivariate methods), including loading of total chlorine and chemical species
that contribute to membrane fouling by precipitation. The first phase of this
project (begun in 2012) has been completed and was reported in WRRF
Report 08-11 (2015); R&D will consider whether an additional internal report,
and/or external publication, is necessary to more completely document this
work. The second phase of this RO fouling study using R&D’s flat-sheet RO
test unit array connected to RO Unit E01 could be completed after new
membranes have been installed in RO Unit E01 (estimated 2017 or 2018)
facility and replicated in the test cells. Membrane behavior will be
characterized by data obtained at four key points in the RO train (the
beginning of the 1st stage, 2nd stage and 3rd stage, and end of the 3rd stage),
including monitoring of RO feed water quality through the RO trains. Data will
be assessed to correlate the accumulation of material on the membranes in
the AWPF, as well as plant operational parameters, with loss of membrane
performance (the decay rate of the normalized specific membrane flux). Data
analysis will be performed in order to compare the observations made in the
first phase of the study (different membranes) with respect to correlating
deposition of materials on the RO membrane and spacer with decay of
normalized specific product flux during RO membrane fouling.
♦ Evaluation of UV/HOCl AOP Utilizing Trojan’s (4-Lamp) Pilot UV Reactor

– Trojan Technologies relocated a 4-lamp UV pilot unit to a Southern
California warehouse and has expressed a desire to operate the unit at the
AWPF to investigate UV/HOCl AOP. The water reuse industry has begun
shifting from UV/H 2 O 2 to UV/HOCl at new treatment facilities. However, the
understanding of the chemical dynamics of UV/HOCl is severely lacking.
Trojan would like to partner with OCWD to conduct pilot experiments to
investigate UV/chloramine/HOCl AOP on source water from the AWPF.

Section 4
Debt Service Fund
SECTION 4
DEBT SERVICE
DEBT SERVICE
The District often uses debt to fund capital projects approved by the Board. The
purpose of the Debt Service is to budget and set aside monies necessary to
make principal and interest payments on the District’s debt.
Total gross debt service payments and administration costs are budgeted at
$36,901,837 for FY 2018-19 as shown on Table 1. This amount also reflects
estimated revenues and payments related to the District’s swap transactions.
The components of the budgeted debt service payments are as follows:
 $8.14 million for fixed rate debt.
 $8.50 million for variable rate debt & commercial paper.
 $1.27 million net swap payment.
 $18.03 million for low interest State Loans.
 $0.96 million for debt administration.
In November 2002, the Board approved a comprehensive long-term debt
program with a number of goals including:
 To provide funding for the GWR System and other capital projects.
 To provide the lowest cost of funds.
 Take advantage of low interest rates and the District’s variable rate
debt capacity.
 Provide the lowest predictable RA.
In FY 2007-08 the Board adopted an updated Plan of Finance, which provided
for repaying some of the District’s highest cost fixed rate debt using low interest
state loan reimbursement monies and for execution of two interest rate swap
transactions. The overall impact on the District’s debt structure was to lower the
District’s overall cost of debt outstanding; reduce the District’s variable rate
exposure using an interest rate swap; and reduce the duration of the existing
debt outstanding by approximately two years.

SECTION 4
DEBT SERVICE
The District’s policy of using long-term debt to fund capital projects was
established in October 2000 and calls for the following:
 Preliminary project expenses related to direct research are to be paid
from the General Fund and cannot be financed with long-term debt.
 Project expenses for such items as feasibility reports, pilot studies,
engineers reports, compliance with CEQA and project design and
construction may be capitalized and funded with long-term debt.
 Project expenses that are capitalized and funded with long-term debt
and which do not lead to construction of a project will require an
adjustment by the Accounting Department to pay off the long-term debt
incurred using cash reserves.

GASB 75 - Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits
Other Than Pensions, establishes new accounting and financial reporting
requirements for OPEB plans costs and obligations related to retiree healthcare
benefits (Other Post Employment Benefits – OPEB). The statements generally
require employers to account for and report the annual cost and outstanding
obligations and commitments for these benefits. The GASB standards require
that the long-term cost of retiree health care be determined and accrued on an
actuarial basis. The results of the valuations must be disclosed on the District’s
financial statements.
A new actuarial study will be c ommissioned to replace the existing liability
determination, however the budget estimate below is based on t he biennial
actuarial study conducted for the District in 2015 to determine the annual
required contribution to provide the retiree medical benefit. The Board has
directed funding this liability to our PARS trust per the actuarial study.
Annual OPEB Cost for the budget year 2018-19 $1,303,931
The District’s actual cost to pay medical premiums for retired employees will be
paid out of the PARS trust. This annual cost is estimated at $600,000.

Section 6
Water Purchase
SECTION 6
WATER PURCHASE
WATER PURCHASE
The proposed FY 2018-19 water budget is $61.6 million and it calls for the purchase of
65,000 acre-feet of Metropolitan Water District (MWD) untreated full service water to
help support the recommended 75% Basin Production Percentage (BPP). The
volumetric unit cost of MWD untreated water is $695/acre-foot in 2018 and $731/acre-
foot in 2019. Additionally, the District would pay for 13,000 acre-feet of in-lieu water that
was received in FY 2017-18 under the MWD Cyclic Program.
This budget will result in a planned 6,000 to 30,000 acre-feet reduction in the
accumulated overdraft depending upon the assumptions for basin recharge.
By purchasing untreated MWD water, recharging it into the groundwater basin, and
increasing the BPP, the Groundwater Producers avoid paying for treated MWD full
service water which currently cost $1,015/acre-foot. The MWD treatment surcharge is
currently $320/acre-foot. The Producers do incur about a $97/acre-foot variable energy
and O&M cost to pump this water out of the ground. However, there is an overall
$223/acre-foot savings ($1,015 - $695 - $97) to the service territory.
The groundwater basin accumulated overdraft is projected to be in the area of

approximately 287,000 acre-feet on June 30, 2018. The overdraft is 162,000 acre-feet
from the District’s target accumulated overdraft of 125,000 acre-feet. The general
maximum desired balance in the water reserve fund is to have sufficient funding
available to be able to purchase 50% of the water needed from MWD to refill the
groundwater basin to the 125,000 acre-foot target. This amounts to 81,000 acre-feet
(162,000 acre-feet x 50%) which is estimated to cost $64.2 million using the MWD
untreated full service rate.

SECTION 6
WATER PURCHASE
The accompanying table provides a detailed summary of the Water Purchase Budget
for FY 2018-19. MWD’s rates will generally increase on January 1, 2019 by 3%. For
budgeting purposes the cost per acre-foot for MWD water is an average of the existing
and expected 2019 rates. The specific water purchase items in the table include:
1. The District anticipates purchasing approximately 2,000 acre-feet of water
from the City of Long Beach for injection into the Alamitos Barrier. The cost
of this water is $5/acre-foot above the cost of MWD Tier I water plus the
Readiness-To-Serve and Capacity Charge paid by the City of Long Beach to
MWD. The total cost for this water is $1,148/af.
2. In FY 2017-18 the District plans on receiving approximately 73,000 acre-feet
of MWD in-lieu water as part of the Cyclic Storage Agreement approved in
July 2017. The District funded 60,000 acre-feet ($40 million) of this purchase
using the Commercial Paper Program. The District is currently paying $4
million annually towards its Commercial Paper program to pay for the cost of
purchasing the land for the recently constructed La Palma recharge basin.
The remaining Commercial Paper balance was $13 million in FY 2017-18
but will be increased by an additional $40 million.
The remaining 13,000 acre-feet of in-lieu water received in FY 2017-18 will
be paid for in FY2018-19 at the current MWD rate.
3. The District has budgeted to purchase 65,000 acre-feet of untreated full
service non-interruptible MWD water for recharge at the District’s field
headquarters in the City of Anaheim. Purchasing this water helps support
the Basin Production Percentage.
4. MWDOC Groundwater Charge – MWDOC charges the District a fee to fund
their staff time and other expenses incurred to support OCWD’s programs
and purchases of imported water. The expected fee is $499,002.
5. The District incurs a Capacity Charge fee on any purchase of MWD non-
interruptible water supplies (i.e., OC-44 connection supplies or untreated
non-interruptible water). The Capacity Charge is administered by MWDOC
and is now billed monthly to the District as a flat fee. The Capacity Charge
for FY 2018-19 will be approximately $900,000.
6. The District also incurs a Readiness-To-Serve charge on any purchase of
MWD treated non-interruptible water supplies (i.e., OC-44 connection
supplies or untreated non-interruptible water). The fee is expected to be
approximately $2,500,000 in FY 2018-19.
The total Water Purchase budget expense for FY 2018-19 is $61.6 million. Any water
budget money not spent will remain in the water fund for future water purchases.

Basin Equity Assessment
SECTION 7
BASIN EQUITY ASSESSMENT
BASIN EQUITY ASSESSMENT (BEA) BUDGET

The objective of the BEA program, as authorized by Section 31.5 of the Orange
County Water District Act, is to make possible more effective management of the
groundwater basin and to equalize water costs within the District.
BEA collections for FY 2018-19 are estimated at $1,750,000, which applies to

pumping in excess of the basin production percentage (BPP). The District sets
the BEA based upon the price of Metropolitan Water District’s water.
BEA revenue is used to offset the cost of MWD water purchases. Predicting BEA
revenue is difficult as it is determined by: (1) groundwater producers who decide
to pump above the BPP; (2) groundwater producers participating in water quality
projects that receive partial BEA exemptions for pumping above the BPP; and (3)
smaller private party pumping.
BEA revenues expected for pumping above the BPP $1,750,000

Section 8
Capital Improvement Program
Debt and PAYGO Funded Projects
Section 8
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The fiscal year (FY) 2018-19 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is provided on the
following pages. The CIP projects are funded by debt proceeds, grants, litigation
settlements, state loans and $4 million from operating revenues. The assets created by
the CIP projects typically have a useful life of between three to seventy years.
The total proposed CIP cost for the FY 2018-19 budget is $47.1 million and it includes
11 projects. The life span of various CIP projects varies from project to project and it
can be three years or longer. The District will fund $4 million of the $47.1 million dollar
CIP budget from the operating revenues. This District practice is very useful in keeping
the debt service cost to the minimum and maintaining debt service coverage targets.
The CIP is primarily driven by the following objectives: (1) increasing the District’s
recharge capacity to allow for increased sustainable production out of the groundwater
basin; (2) protecting water quality by removing contaminated groundwater from the
basin and providing additional wetlands treatment for Santa Ana River flows; and
(3) protecting the coastal portion of the groundwater basin.
Budgeting of project expenditures does not authorize staff to proceed with a project.
Each budgeted project must be individually reviewed and formally approved by the
Board via the preparation of an Engineer’s Report. In addition, the Board would need to
approve the design and the construction contracts as/if the project progresses forward.
The expenditures for each project are shown in the fiscal year they are anticipated to
occur in. The District has many multi-year projects that require several years to process
and construct. Table 8-1 provides a broad summary of the projects in the CIP. A brief
description and status of each project are provided on the attached Capital Projects
Information sheet.

The District primarily uses long-term debt to fund capital projects. The District policy for
using long-term debt was established in October 2000. The policy calls for the following:
 Preliminary project expenses related to direct research are to be paid from
the General Fund.
 Project expenses for such items as feasibility reports, pilot studies, engineer’s
reports, compliance with CEQA, and project design and construction may be
capitalized and funded with long-term debt.
 Project expenses that are capitalized and funded with long-term debt and to
which do not lead to construction of a project will require an adjustment by the
Accounting Department to pay off the long-term debt incurred using cash
reserves.

Section 10
Replacement and Refurbishment Fund
REPLACEMENT AND REFURBISHMENT BUDGET
The District has over $1.1 billion in assets, excluding construction in progress, that will
need to be replaced or refurbished at some point in the future. To prevent additional
pressure on the Replenishment Assessment, a replacement and refurbishment model
was developed in 1998, which included all District assets and used engineer’s estimates
for the useful life of each asset. This model is capable of forecasting future costs and
required revenue streams and is updated annually.
The Replacement and Refurbishment (R&R) fund was originally funded in FY 1998-99
with $15 million from the District Replacement Reserves and $20 million from the
Orange County bankruptcy proceeds.
In 2004 the R&R program was downsized to only include infrastructure type assets.
The amount of money annually transferred into the R&R program was reduced from
$4.5 million annually to $2.8 million. The annual transfer amount has been growing by
7% to provide sufficient funds to meet future expected R&R expenses. The fiscal year
2018-19 contribution is planned to be $16.7 million.
An update to the R&R Model was made in 2007 and the changes included:
1. All infrastructure replacement cost have been updated.

2. The R&R Fund balance was set at the current amount of $56.6 million with an
expected interest earnings rate of 5% over the next 30 years.
3. The inflation rate was increased from 3% to 3.5% to reflect recent increases in
construction material.
4. The cost of repairing and refurbishing the Talbert barrier injection wells has been
moved out of the R&R program and into the District’s general fund.
5. The cost of major lab equipment costing greater than $100,000 has been moved
into the R&R program.
Another update to the Model was conducted in 2011 and the changes include the
following:
1. Eliminated the replacement of the Green Acres Project’s conventional filtration

technology as it will be replaced by an expansion of the microfiltration treatment
of GWRS.
2. The Basin Cleaning Vehicles (BCV) was removed from the R&R Model as the
BCV Program was discontinued.
3. Pump stations electrical and pumps were separated from buildings as they were
previously treated as a single unit in the R&R Model.
4. Transferred $10 million in reserves from the R&R Fund to the Operating Fund.
Actual expenditures from the fund vary significantly each year depending upon which
District assets have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced or

Section 10
Replacement and Refurbishment Fund
which assets can have their lives extended by refurbishing them. In FY 2018-19, the
proposed R&R expenses include these five major items.
 GWRS Pipeline Lining ($8,000,000)
 Upper and Lower Five Coves Rehabilitation Project ($3,021,759).
 Talbert Barrier Pipeline Improvements ($2,525,602).
 Santiago Intertie ($2,500,000)
 Sunset Gap Monitoring Well Replacement (BS13) ($912,427)
The actual proposed expenditures for FY 2018-19 are $22.6 million.
