chrpfor e task or is here. thank you, i know you did a great job. >> i am going to be talking about the source system improvement program, focusing in on the changes we seek and the work that the task force did. we will move forward to the next steps. hopefully at the end of the presentation, the task force members will be able to share some thoughts with you. the source system improvement program is our capital improvement program for the waste water system as a whole. much of the emphasis will be focused on improvements at the southeast. we have developed a report. we have had an extensive planning process of about five to seven years. we recently committed -- completed 7 workshops where we established levels of service

and goals for what the new system would look at. the major findings are on the web. i am hoping we can discuss a the next briefing the goals and levels of service and perhaps seek endorsement from the board. this summarizes the improvements will be making over the next 30 years. the levels of service are to provide a reliable and resilience system that can respond to catastrophic events, provide benefits to impactive communities, modify the system to adapt for climate change, and aceve economicnd environmtal sustainability. supvisor maxwell:i am sure you areplaing too that rough inon andn r shsure -- infstcture. >> there are diffeprocesses at wil ve smaller ootpntanthe mo ergy

there is a tremendous amount of work that will occur in the southwest district. we will be upgrading the treatment plant. these upgrades are visual. we want to get the process to be the most modern and energy efficient. we will have outflow and alcohol rehabilitation. there will be a natural treatment plant at treasure island. there will be upgrades to the north point facility. we have a lot of wet weather improvements. those include low impact design. we talked about that at one of the previous hearings as capturing storm water, holding it locally within a drainage basin, and then reusing it for beneficial uses. we have several flood control projects throughout the city. we have one major tunnel project that will go from mission creek. itw,eavassetha early 19's.

timeline for all of the projects with the out front ones being the digesters. it is highlighted here. it is in the southeast. we will have ongoing projects. we have pump stations to start right away. we will be returning to you with information about contracts we will need to support these efforts. the main one is the project management contract. is similar to the water supply to upgrade. we will be looking to get a program manager in at this location. through our hearings with the commission, we have been discussing projects. we've been looking at timing and levels of service. the program will cost between $5 billion and $7 billion over an extended period of time. we will be seeking outside sources of funds to help with the burden.

nearly half of that money will be focused on the south eas digesters, theelunne d other improvements that will occur at the water pollution control plant. threal ocus today is the digesters. a lot of our discussion is talking about eatment. wetreat all of the storm water. we treat the waste water. we handle the solids. this is our se water pollution control plant. along the nort where bordered by the evated lines. we have third seet and evans down here. that may be a landmarkthat is more familiar to people. itruns to the ballpark, i believe. the digesters are located here on the south side ofthe plant there are 10 currently. on one of them,he roof s fallen in.

not be able to be in compliance with the facility. we will have an emergency on our hands. it is e to the good work of the maintenance people. there were able to saveit, catch , and repair it. the digesters of the most maintenance-intensive procs at the treatment plant e nine inervice now. we have the original 10. we lost one with the roof falling in. every year, one of them is cleaned. the material onhe bottom as all of the sand held there. it is because of the old design with a flat bottom. will not have sficient restraints or anchoring to withstand any seismic action. survisor maell: plaito eoe who may t ustd at hpens in a digester. o u want to do itat?

both sites. we want to optimize the power and have more green power that can be consud athe pnt. supervor maxwell: ishat is what w're cng resource recovery? welllookthe stnduse tm? most cefctivsystem gas.es of the gas --esthe inthplaces, it s atr vecle fueor wewillook at all those ings i terms of cost and life cycle. an additional 5 acres would be required in the future for drying if we were to move towards that. that would be using solids locally within the city. several of the task force members have a lot of interest in that. they want that for their gardens. this is something that we will

have lots of meetings in the future about. the digesters themselves with the approximately 60 feet above grade. that is about the same height as the other structures at the southeast plant currently. now i want to talk about the task force itself. then we will get into some of the specifics on the siditing. members were recruited through a process. we went to local community groups and asked people who would like to participate in the critical project. we got some volunteers. we have individuals representing the southeast community commission, bobby brown and helen yang. the chair of the waste water subcommittee michael hammond, virginia holmes, the owner of

pet camp, and ms. espanola jackson. the task force was very diligent. they volunteered their time. the net monthly with us in the evenings at the southeast treatment ant for two or three hours. we went on technical tours. they worked on behalf of the community in their neighborhood to try to further the implementation of the project. the objective of the task force was to provide a fair and open review process to continue to develop the process. it was to licit local community thinking, sentiments, and concerns. they brought the facilities from

17 down to two. they identified the key issues for evaluation. those were cost, schedule, visual, architectural, and community benefits for the future. the group culminated their work on the digester task force report. you each have one of those in your pocket. it ia hea document. it iludes l of the agendas. t andas and topics were set by the comttee members some of the meetings were battering ortaff when somhi w not caror unicators us spondingo thequestions trying tso o t details. in mmary of ale ndings is includ.

ytihere wasgreed there is a lotf information in of th etg s, went back and forth when we were cument.inal cmes on e thisill be we projec as we get it started. them cle onwh cteria in thneighborhood is expecting. the 17 different locations were scattered throughout the city. a discussion was held on land use, geography, location, challenges, logistics, size. we talked about alofthose things for or a year-and-a- half. wended up with twpreferred lotions. t one on the left in the

orange is adjacent to two central shops. this is the railroad tracks. they're both bordered by e railroad tracks. down south is the location where the digesters are currently. welso looked at off site locatio on 294. it is in the port osan frcisco control. that is trust property. it has trust requirements on it. we had aotal of 15.7 acres in the orange. we had about 15 to 20 acres in the blue. we took a look at what it would mean if we we building at south side, staying in the same location. it would be a staggered build where you would have to delish and complete construction. you still have the digesters reasonably close to the

neighborhood. we looked at the second option where we would be using the central shop si for the digesters. that would have beenmuch further way and adjacent to the train tracks. slightly more on the dollar slide and longer on the completion side. itwill require some relocation ofthe centralshop existing use. the final opon was more and longer on completion because of the legislative work required to move the trust of the port property so it could be used for a non maritime function. the completion date of the time of the issuance of the report was 2024 south side two additional years at the shop and additional years for. 94. to look at the three paels of

la, we ended up with two combinations with the digesters at cenal sp. we had another alternative with the digesters that the south side, se -- at the south side, se. the preferred option would be to have the digesters located along the train tracks at a distance from the residence. even if we were able to have been located here and going slightly north from the, but to be able to keep them as far away from residents as possible. right now, the residents are right across the street. . 94 is isolated from residential. it is adjacent to the old pg&e facility. it is one solid block of land. the challenge is that you have solace and sludge back-and-

forth through the community. the site has a high level of contamination. we do have the uncertainty of being able to obtain the site. when we looked at the visual and architectural, this was very important to the community. what are we going to see when the project is done? what could it look like? i have a few shots of renderings and examples that were supported by the task force. one was the architectural style that could look more like a condominium or townhouse. this could be office space and usable space for the waste water enterprise as well as for the community. it is the digesters screened by trees and buildings. another had a top across the

digesters and other buildings that could fit in a more industrial or parklike or campus-like structure. one thing i want to highlight that ties into the prior hearings, the community benefits portion, are the suggestions that came up and we started to talk about community benefits in the project. because so much work is going to be done in the southeast community, the was a lot of time and thought and discussion on opportunities for the southeast community. i want to summarize these suggestions. 50% of the hiring from the zip codes. if the san francisco public utilities commission on behalf of the improvement program has a new project labor agreement, that commitment would have to include local hiring built into it. having necessary resources to support the community so that

there is job readiness, internships, and opportunities, barrier removal, and other services that help the puc meet the local hiring requirements. continuation of the existing apprentice ship program and job readiness program. that is included in all the designs. they did the mitigation so that air quality and environmental impacts would not be an issue from the new bio solids facility. increasing environmental education to the students in the area and considerations of residents in94124 for mitigation because they've been so close to southeast, perhaps they could have solar panels. on june 22, 90% of the task

force came to power commission. they were commended for all of their work and given a hand. ed harrington gave them a resolution signed by himself and our members. each othe members got up and gave testimony of about five to seven minutes. it was really neat. the task force will certainly be involved. i see many members of the task force every meeting i go to on the waste water side. certainly on the plants, and expect them to be highly involved. they did support moving the project forward. this is a critical project. we do not want to end up in an emergency situation where we cannot meet treatment requirements. as we step forward through the sources improvement program, our commission has endorsed levels of service better very specific. we're beginning to draft and prepare
