360-397-6118 ext. 4358 Heath.Henderson@clark.wa.gov

PURPOSE: This report covers the Salmon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant operations through September 30, 2015. The attached monitoring report shows the monthly values for the key process parameters that are tracked. The report shows data for the period ending September 30, 2015. No permit violations occurred during this reporting period. During the third quarter, the county held several interviews with prospective candidates for the Wastewater Operations Manager position. Travis Capson, from Emmett, Idaho, was chosen, and will start on November 30, 2015. Plant staff received a visit from the Department of Ecology and received a 100% Compliance award for the year 2014. Predesign has been completed on the programmable logic controller upgrades. The attached financial documents include the third quarter revenue and expense summaries for the operating fund (Fund 4580) and the repair and replacement fund (Fund 4583). Graphs of Funds 4580 and 4583 budget vs. actuals are also included. The overall operating fund is currently at 30.3% of actual expenditures versus budget. The third quarter biennium percent complete is 37.5%, therefore the fund is underspent by 7.2%. The breakdown of expenditures to budget by area is:

Lab 30.3% spent Maintenance 33.9% spent Battle Ground Force Main 27.3% spent Biosolids 30.9% spent Operations 38.2% spent General Administration 18.1% spent

Clark County Operator Report December 18, 2015

Page 2 of 2

The overall 2015-2016 operating budget’s actual expenditures are anticipated to run very close to the budgeted amounts. The county’s Office of Budget increased the operating fund by $8,838 for disability insurance after the budget was adopted by the Alliance. The Repair and Replacement fund is 92% expended through the third quarter. This is due to a large payment of $1,800,000 of cash paid to the Alliance out of reserves. It is anticipated the remainder of the budget will be used as budgeted on projects. The status of each project is noted in the comments column on the Repair and Replacement expense spreadsheet. The majority of the scheduled repair/replacement projects will occur in 2016. ACTION REQUESTED: None, information item.

PURPOSE: The Alliance is a fully operational regional wastewater transmission and treatment utility as of January 1, 2015. The goal of the Administrative Lead (AL) Report is to provide a monthly Board of Directors update for ongoing activities in the executive, financial and engineering areas of responsibility. Executive and Administrative Activities. The ongoing efforts in this area are related to a series of regulatory compliance activities, as summarized below:

1. Department of Natural Resources (DNR). DNR is processing the applications for transfer of the two Aquatic Lands Outfall Easements for the outfall pipelines (one from each treatment plant). AL staff recently provided signed documents to DNR for execution. Once the fully executed documents are received from DNR, the easements will be recorded. There are some new requirements associated with the updated documents, such as periodic sediment sampling.

2. Department of Ecology (Ecology) - Biosolids. Ecology is in the process of reissuing the state-wide General Permit for Biosolids Management this year. AL staff has prepared comprehensive application packages for both the Ridgefield Treatment Plant and the Salmon Creek Treatment Plant. The application packages were submitted to Ecology on November 30, 2015.

3. Ecology – National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits. The Alliance is required to apply for a new discharge permit for each treatment plant on a five-year cycle. The comprehensive applications packages are currently in development ahead of January 1, 2016 (Ridgefield) and April 1, 2016 (Salmon Creek) deadlines. AL staff has also been in consultation with Ecology in in the process of assigning the two discharge permits to the name of the Alliance.

Financial and Treasury Activities. The Board adopted the mid-biennial amendment to the 2015-2016 Capital and Operating Budget at the November meeting. AL staff is beginning preparation of a 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the Alliance. The CAFR will be the subject of review by the State Auditor’s Office (SAO) in the spring of 2016, as part of standard financial and accountability audits by SAO.

Engineering and Capital Program Activities. AL staff is working to implement capital projects approved for the 2015-2016 budget period as noted below: Repair and Replacement Projects. Work continues to develop the six repair and replacement projects approved in the current budget. Three pipeline repair projects will be bid in the first quarter of 2016. The PLC replacement project has been planned and will begin implementation in 2016. Two larger projects are in the design and permitting process for 2017 construction. Columbia River Outfall and Effluent Pipeline. Administrative Lead staff has been in communication with the following four property owners to coordinate field activities:

• Pacific Lifestyle Homes • Curtis Lake Ranch • New Columbia Garden Company, LLC • WSDOT

The initial data collection reports are being finalized for review with the Standing Committees in early 2016. This information is very helpful and will support preliminary engagement with permitting agencies, property owners and other stakeholders in order to allow alternatives to be developed and a specific project approach determined in 2016. Capital Plan Update. Administrative Lead staff has started the process to update the Alliance Capital Plan in support of the 2017-2018 budget process. The beginning areas of work include updating the (1) condition assessment and (2) capacity assessment reports for the Alliance-owned regional assets. The results of this work will be presented to the Alliance Board in 2016. AL staff will continue to keep the Alliance Standing Committees and Board of Directors updated as work is developed for all of the capital projects. ACTION REQUESTED: Discussion and policy level guidance for the various Administrative Lead activities.
