Biosolids Management Agreements with Shane Magan, EnerTech Environmental California, LLC, and Synagro

On February 28, 2007, the Orange County Sanitation District Board of Directors ("OCSD Board") took the following actions: (1) Revisited its prior January, 2000 approval of a biosolids management contract between OCSD and Shane Magan ("2000 Magan Contract") relating to the beneficial reuse of biosolids at Tule Ranch (a.k.a. Honeybucket Farms) in accordance with the Court of Appeal's holding in County Sanitation District No. 2 of Los Angeles County v. County of Kern, (2005), 127 Cal. App.4th 1544. The Board's approval of the 2000 Magan Contract resulted in the hauling of an additional 26,650 Wet Tons Per Year ("WTPY") of biosolids to Tule Ranch, which corresponded to an increase of approximately 1,105 annual truck trips or approximately six truck trips per day. (2) Approved a biosolids management contract with EnerTech Environmental California, LLC to facilitate the transportation and conversion of biosolids to e-fuel at EnerTech's facility in the City of Rialto. Under the contract, EnerTech would haul and process an average of 200 Wet Tons Per Day ("WTPD") of biosolids at its facility for a term of ten years with four, five year options. This corresponds to approximately eight truck trips per day. (3) Approved a biosolids management contract with Synagro to facilitate the transportation and recycling of biosolids at Synagro's facility at the South Kern Industrial Center. Under the contract, Synagro would haul and process "a minimum of 250 WTPD of biosolids" for composting at the Synagro facility at the South Kern Industrial Center. This corresponds to approximately ten haul truck trips per day.
