REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2855-09 regarding the

preparing the applications for submission to the SRF and the attached resolution is a
requirement of the application process.

resolution refers to the repayment process for the SRF. At this time, the loan interest
rate, availability of grant funding, and other pertinent financial details for the economic
stimulus funding is not known. The Board will have the opportunity to review all financial
details prior to accepting a funding contract on any of the submitted projects.

,
Good morning, Madam Chair and Subcommittee Members. My name is Jeanette Brown
and I am the Vice President of the Water Environment Federation. I am also the director of one
of the largest wastewater utilities in Connecticut, the Stamford Water Pollution Control
Authority. I am honored to be here today to discuss the opportunity within the wastewater sector
to ensure protection of water quality and public health in a more energy efficient and economical
manner through conservation, new technology, and innovation.
The Water Environment Federation (WE F) was founded in 1928 and is a not-for-profit
technical and educational organization with more than 35,000 members devoted to the
preservation and enhancement of the global water environment. WEF members include
scientists, engineers, regulators, academics, plant operators and other professionals working in
the United States and around the world. Our goal is a sustainable water infrastructure.
As the Executive Director of the Stamford, Connecticut Water Pollution Control
Authority with 30 years experience in wastewater treatment I feel that I am most qualified to
speak about the sector. The Stamford Water Pollution Control Authority provides advanced
wastewater treatment for a community of 100,000 people. As an engineer, and a water
professional, I am a steward of the environment and very proud of the job we do providing an
essential community service and protecting the water quality of Long Island Sound. Later I will
explain the steps that we are taking in both conservation and innovation, specifically utilizing the
oldest waste product known to man as a sustainable and renewable energy source. I am referring
to the by-product of the wastewater treatment process, technically referred to as wastewater
residuals or biosolids. There are more than 16,000 wastewater treatment plants in the United
States. Almost all are publicly owned. In the process of collecting and treating wastewater to

protect public health and the environment, these plants use over one percent of all the electricity
generated in the United States. Energy costs typically represent over 30% of a utility's
operating budget second only to labor. In many communities the water and wastewater utilities
are the largest municipal energy consumers.
The water professionals who make up the Water Environment Federation are very
concerned about the high use and cost of energy as well as the age of our infrastructure.
Protection of our waterways requires that systems be expanded to meet the pressures of growing
populations, increased treatment requirements to meet water quality needs and that aging
systems be upgraded in a way that enables energy efficiency and the capture of energy from the
waste products. As a sector, we are very concerned about the detrimental effect that high energy
costs and high capital improvement costs can have on the ability of local communities to
maintain or upgrade their water infrastructure. This in turn can have a detrimental effect on our
ability to protect public health and the environment. Therefore, we need to act now if we hope to
continue to protect our environment and ensure sustainable wastewater treatment through energy
efficiency and energy independence.
Sustain ability Includes Green Infrastructure, Water Efficiency, and Energy
Efficiency and Independence
The Water Environment Federation is supporting this concept of sustainable water
infrastructure in a variety of ways including the promotion of green infrastructure. Weare also
advocating sustainable operation of more conventional infrastructure. This includes advocating

energy conservation through effective operational practices and through technological advances,
and innovation that allows the utilization of renewable energy sources.
WEF's membership understands that energy conservation and renewable energy
initiatives in wastewater treatment plants cannot solve the world's energy crisis, but we know
that it will certainly make a difference. Weare therefore taking a proactive leadership approach;
WEF hosts conferences, publishes papers, and convenes forums on the issue for water
professionals. Of particular note, WEF is updating our Manual of Practice on Energy
Conservation in Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities, to be released later this year. This
manual will cover energy efficiency and tools to measure, assess, and conserve energy. It
features new information on cogeneration, energy recovery, energy efficient design, use of
renewable fuels, and related climate change issues.
In 1989, WEF founded the Water Environment Research Foundation, (WERF). WERF
is engaged in research to optimize wastewater operations for energy, cost, and environmental
footprint. Additionally, WERF's climate change program is assessing processes and
technologies to cost-effectively mitigate the sector's potential impact. One WERF project,
Improving the Wastewater Plant Environmental Footprint: Options for Your Locality, will help
wastewater treatment plants define their current carbon and ecological footprint as they take
steps towards reducing their impact.
As stated earlier, over one percent of all the electricity generated in the United States is
used for collecting and treating wastewater. Within wastewater treatment systems, energy is used
to run pumps and motors, aeration systems, disinfection processes, solids processing equipment,
lighting, computers, and other electrical equipment. It is also consumed in pumping wastewater

to treatment plants. To reduce energy use, water conservation has to be our first line of attack:
conservation through change of habit, conservation through the introduction of new technology,
and innovation to open new doors and new approaches to solving old problems. In order to
change old habits; we need to educate people about the value of water. We are very supportive
of efforts to educate the public about water conservation measures and water-efficient products.
Conservation of water will help conserve other vital resources. Our formula is: Use Less =
Treat Less = Reduced Costs and Energy Required. In addition money has to be used wisely
and put toward research and development of new technology and innovation, and prioritized to
bring the most good or biggest bang per dollar.
Water professionals over the past few years have worked hard to reduce power
consumption by using high efficiency motors, high efficiency lighting, computer controls which
can turn equipment on or off based on process needs, and education. Conservation alone is not
enough to reduce the need for fossil fuel generated power, but it has to be our first and most
pronounced step in our efforts to decrease our use of fossil fuels.
Necessity is said to be the mother of invention. The need for new approaches is certainly
apparent given present economic conditions and pressures on both limited resources and our
natural environment. Innovation is indeed blossoming all around us driven by need. The
landscape is changing as technologies and concepts are being developed to allow plants to be
energy independent or even net energy producers. This evolution in thinking moves
wastewater treatment plants from being major energy consumers to net energy producers
and represents a paradigm shift in the sector.

Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee - February 4, 2009

..
Why is this paradigm shift so important?
There are three major reasons:
1. Cost of Energy and Energy Independence
Recent spikes in energy prices highlight the volatility of global energy markets and their
impact on a utility's bottom line. Energy efficiency, with a movement toward energy
independence for treatment plants, reduces or eliminates a utility's vulnerability to energy prices
and saves communities monies through decreased operating costs. Additionally, it can help
mitigate the stress that an increasing population and aging electrical infrastructure are creating on
our already strained energy grid.
2. Climate Change
The water sector is keenly aware of the impacts of climate change as the tangible effects
of these changes are already being manifested in the water cycle. Prolonged droughts, amplified
storm intensity, and increased variability in precipitation patterns are forcing water managers to
adapt to a new reality. As a result, the sector is taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint by
reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with the energy required for its operations and by
capturing greenhouse gas emitted from the treatment process.
3. Sustainability
Sustainable practices and approaches are becoming integrated into utilities' operating
principles and capital improvement plans. Water managers view themselves as environmental
stewards charged with protecting and enhancing water resources for the immediate and future
generations. Sustainable approaches to water management include having a sound fiscal
program where costs are scrutinized and revenues account for the true costs of treating water and

-,
capital improvements. Additionally, sustainable approaches achieve environmental goals such as
minimizing resource consumption and production of waste products. Energy efficiency plays a
role in both of these aspects of sustainability in the water sector. Examples of these sustainable
approaches include the use of natural, biological processes to remove pollutants rather than using
chemicals and the reuse ofbiosolids to augment or replace chemical fertilizers.
Besides energy conservation, what else can we do to guarantee sustainability
in the water sector?
Here are three examples of innovative processes:
Stamford Biogas Turns Waste into Energy
Wastewater treatment generates solid residual material known as biosolids when it is
appropriately treated. This material has a relatively high BTU (british thermal unit) or energy
value. In other words, it is a good fuel and it is produced by every community. Typically
wastewater residuals are trucked out of a community after processing and used on land as a
fertilizer or buried in landfills. In some cases, they are burned at on-site incinerators at the
treatment plant. Think about this: A one-pound package of the dried biosolids produced in
Stamford Connecticut, or most other treatment plants, has a heating value of almost 9000 BTUs!
My utility feels that putting this material on land is a waste of a renewable energy source which
can help in a small way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and significantly reduce our carbon
footprint. We are using a gasification process to convert biosolids to a synthetic gas which we
call Stamford Biogas (you can read more at www.stamfordbiogas.com). Gasification produces
no greenhouse gases and any gases produced by the generation equipment can be returned to the

gasifier to remove the carbon dioxide. This biogas can be used as fuel to run internal combustion
engines or to fire boilers to produce electricity. The gas produced from this one-pound bag of
biosolids can light three 6O-watt light bulbs for an entire day. In the United States, just over
seven million tons of wastewater residuals or biosolids are generated every year. That's over 14
trillion pounds per year. Just think how many bulbs we can light from this renewable energy
source which is currently considered by most of the public as a waste product.
We have built a pilot facility in Stamford where we test biosolids from various treatment
plants and develop technology to improve gas production. Not only have we used the Stamford
Biogas to generate electricity, but also have used it to run a car. Additionally we have tested our
biosolids in full-scale equipment supplying energy to the electrical grid. Once funding is
available (and we are hoping for stimulus funding), we plan to construct a 15 megawatt facility.
This facility will demonstrate the feasibility of this technology for other plants in the United
States.
This truly falls within the definition of our conservation and innovation approach to the
future. We have taken a waste product which is costly to dispose and by managing the product
on site we conserve energy by elimination transportation, we produce a fuel by an innovative
process, and we sustain our responsibility to the environment.
Solar Energy Powers Water and Wastewater in Rifle, Colorado
A different approach to energy efficiency is being practiced in the City of Rifle,
Colorado, a city of 10,000 residents in Western Colorado. The City has recently built one of the
largest renewable energy solar systems used for a combined (potable water and wastewater)

municipal system. Ninety percent of the daytime power used to pump drinking water is provided
by a 600 kilowatt solar array. Sixty percent of the daytime power to run Rifle's wastewater
reclamation facility is provided by a 1.7 megawatt solar array. These two systems will prevent
more than 152 million pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted using traditional fossil fuel
electricity over a 20 year period. More electricity could be generated by solar power but the City
has approached the limit of power generation set by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
East Bay MUD's R2 Program Generates Electricity and Income
Another local agency that has embarked on an innovative approach to utilizing a resource
commonly thought of as waste is the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) of Oakland,
California. About six years ago, EBMUD initiated what they refer to as their "Resource
Recovery" or R2 program. The R2 program uses existing wastewater treatment capacity to treat
high-strength industrial or commercial wastes from food processors such as dairies and wineries.
By adding these high-strength wastes to anaerobic digesters, EBMUD was able to double biogas
production and on-site electricity generation from the biogas. Currently EBMUD's on-site
generation meets about 90% of its demand and they aim to exceed 100% in the future so that the
wastewater plant becomes a net energy producer. The R2 program yields many benefits
including cost-effective waste neutralization and minimization for industry, on-site energy
generation to alleviate grid congestion, increased system reliability, less reliance on imported
fuel sources, increased revenues, and a reduced carbon footprint.

According to EBMUD staff, there were several drivers for an aggressive Renewable
Energy program, including: 1) the opportunity for revenue from taking additional organic wastes
trucked to the treatment facility coupled with use (and/or sale back to the electrical utility) of the
associated green energy from digesting the waste; 2) the District's mission includes a
commitment to "Sustainability," and renewable energy helps reduce fossil fuel usage, thereby
reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and 3) increased reliability associated with being 1 00%
energy self-sufficient, particularly in the event of major utility power outages during storms and
following any moderate or major earthquakes.
These three examples demonstrate the kinds of innovative thinking being practiced
within the wastewater sector. Another model is the performance of the Strass wastewater
treatment plant located near Innsbruck, Austria, that is actually producing more energy than is
needed to operate the facility. The Strass plant accomplishes this through a two-pronged
approach of continually exploring options to improve the plant's overall energy efficiency and
optimizing methane production from the solids digestion facilities that process its residual solids.
WERF has a project that is studying the Strass plant and developing benchmarks for US
facilities.
How the Federal Government Can Help Wastewater Managers Achieve
Greater Energy Efficiency -- and Energy Independence
Although our sector is currently witnessing renewed interest in activity related to energy
efficiency, we see opportunities for the Federal government to provide leadership and assistance
as we move toward an eventual goal of energy independence for wastewater treatment facilities.

Federal leadership will accelerate the progress being made in the areas of research, technology
transfer, and education so that more communities benefit from the energy efficiency measures
and innovative approaches described earlier.
The Water Environment Federation respectfully offers the following suggestions
and recommendations for greater Federal leadership:
Fundin!!: The Federal government helps fund wastewater infrastructure improvements
through the Clean Water Act's state revolving fund (SRF) program. The SRF does allow
funding to be used for energy efficiency projects and some states have moved in this
direction. However, the reality is that priority for SRF funding has historically been
given to treatment plant expansions to address additional flows and upgrades to meet
increasingly stringent water quality standards. The SRF should be used more
aggressively to help wastewater managers reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and
operate in a more sustainable manner, where projects meet appropriate requirements. We
are pleased that the recent economic stimulus package approved by the House of
Representatives directs that up to ten percent of the additional $6 billion for the Clean
Water State Revolving Fund will be used for energy efficiency, water efficiency and
other green technologies. We encourage the Subcommittee to consider making this
priority permanent when you take up SRF reauthorization later this year.
Cross-sector collaboration: Although this Subcommittee does not have jurisdiction
over the electric power industry, we urge you to work with the appropriate Committees
and Subcommittees in Congress to ensure that any new energy legislation includes
provisions that encourage collaboration and cooperation between the energy and water
sectors. Such provisions should include incentives or requirements for the electric power

industry to support the installation of efficiency measures or renewable energy
technologies at wastewater treatment facilities, and for the utilization of any excess
electricity that is generated back to the grid. We realize that there are challenges
associated with decentralized energy production and that this might run counter to the
existing centralized power infrastructure. But as noted earlier, we believe that innovation
and creativity are essential if we are going to meet our future energy needs in a
sustainable manner.
Education: The paradigm shift I referred to earlier--thinking of wastewater treatment
plants as net energy producers--will require education of water professionals, utility
operators and managers, the electric power industry, regulators, and the public. We can
take the examples I cited earlier, demonstrating energy efficiency and even net energy
production and educate other utilities across the country about the possibilities of energy
independence. In addition, federal leadership and funding are needed to build on and
expand worthwhile existing programs such as Energy Star, and to ensure that these
programs reflect the latest in technology and best practices.
Research: The wastewater sector needs research funding to allow the testing of the
innovative ideas I just discussed. There are many possibilities for using the products or
the processes to generate electricity at treatment facilities. But this takes money. Last
May, WEF joined with seven other major water organizations in calling on Congress to
establish a comprehensive, coordinated and federally-sponsored applied research
program to give water managers predictive and decision-support tools to address the
effects of climate change. Research is also needed on mitigation and adaptation

;r
strategies, such as those I've discussed related to energy efficiency and sustainability in
the wastewater sector, focused specifically on mitigating the impacts of climate change
on water quality and quantity.
A Basic Triumvirate Thought Premise to Energy Sustain ability
I would like to summarize some key concepts in energy efficiency and energy
independence for the wastewater sector:
. Energy savings through water conservation -- by changing our habits, old ways,
and business as usual. The water sector needs a new mind set, and we as Americans
need a new mind set;
. Energy savings through reduced energy use - by developing and introducing new
technology, high efficiency motors, computer-controlled automation, and the capture
of wasted power through hydroelectric generation, wind, and solar;
. Energy savings through innovation and research -- such as utilizing by-products
for the production of power in a way that doesn't pollute our environment.
In conclusion, we ask the Subcommittee to keep in mind that wastewater is NOT waste!
Currently wastewater utilities are big players in using energy, but we desire to be big players in
conserving and even supplying energy. Every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the public
produces wastewater. Our collective interest in a sustainable planet requires that we turn that
waste into useful products. The water should be reused, and the solids should also be reused,
and one way to reuse the solids is to create energy. This requires a shared vision, leadership and

funding. We at the Water Environment Federation stand ready to work with you on a shared
vision for turning "waste into watts" and ensuring energy efficiency and energy independence
for sustainable wastewater treatment.
Madam Chair and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for giving me the
opportunity to discuss this important topic. We at WEF stand ready to assist you in any way as
we work on continuing to improve the energy efficiency and promote energy independence for
the water sector.

First and foremost I believe our Board MUST create an atmosphere that rebuilds our syst~ of
governance into a "County Family". That would be a workplace where employees, department
heads, the CAO, and we Supervisors all knew what their job was and felt comfortable doing that
job. As such each and every member of the family would be willing to step forward and make
comments about how to better serve our customers, constituents, and citizens. They would
willingly propose solutions to problems, promote a better workplace, and look for ways to
reduce costs and increase service. This process starts from the top down and earns its way with
respect shown (especially in public) to all of the people we serve and the people we employ to
provide the service. This means our Board must start by being a POLICY BOARD and leave
MANAGEMENT to the CAO and the other employees.
County Charter Section211. Communications with Employees
Board of Supervisors' directions, recommendations or instructions to boards, commissions, department heads, or officers shall
be by formal Board action, This section does not limit an individual Supervisor's right to obtain information or request advice or
assistance in accordance with normal operating policies,
As may be seen from the Charter section, my proposal would not preclude a Supervisor from
obtaining staff assistance with a problem or obtaining assistance with formulating and agenda
item or similar proposal. I currently find it most helpful to make staff aware of issues by use of
e-mails to the specific staff member with copies to their department head and the CAOs office.
However, we must be respectful to limit the number of staff in any meetings so as not to be a
burden on their time.
My Thought: It is not what we do individually, but what we as the Board of Supervisors do by
giving direction on an item we or staff place on the public agenda.
Board Action sets the policy and CAO and department heads set the how!
******************************************************************************
Second issue is to reformulate our Board meetings so as not to comingle business, policy and
ceremonial actions. We need to better respect the time of both the public and the staff. It
would be well to have one or two Monday afternoon meetings to have policy discussions. This
would give each department an opportunity to explain their programs to the public and the
Board. It certainly would improve our understanding of the activities and the needs of the
department and the need for those services. We urgently need meetings with the Recreation
commission, the Planning Commission, the Transportation Department, and the Mental Health
Department; and a lot of others.

Third issue is to thoroughly examine and understand the county budget. What do we NEED to
do and what is NICE to do.
As the leaders of the county we need to reduce our departmental costs even more than we
have! We could look at a 5% salary cut; but it would save more money and create a more equal
funding for each district if we just did away with any travel or meal expenses for Supervisors or
their assistants. This would include expenses for cell phones and other incidental purchases. If
a member believes they need to have expenses covered that are not included in their salaries,
they would submit a request to the Board before incurring such expenses; this would be for any
travel including vehicle rents whether from the County or a vendor.
We also need to have staff develop a budget document that is understandable by us and the
public. Envisioned is a page for each program that shows what department is in charge of the
program and how it affects other departments; how many and what classifications of personnel
are required to provide the program; itemize the costs of the program and the specific source
of the revenues for the program. These would be rolled into an overall summary page for the
department and those into an overall summary for the county.
We must implement and adopt a five year plan that is moved forward each year that basically
sets the goals for where we want to go as far as programs and capital improvements
We need to establish an accounting system that verifies each departments revenues on a
monthly basis to avoid a fiscal catastrophe such as occurred at the Mental Health department.
...............................................................................
************************************************************************************
Fourth issue, and this could and should be a topic of discussion at a joint meeting with the
Planning Commission, is a discussion of the implementation of the General Plan in and of itself
and its affect on economic development and permit processing.
************************************************************************************
Fifth issue is the future of the Waste Collection franchises and the future needs for a materials
recycling facility (MRF).
