of the world, the central bank in systems of the world. retail, transportation, space, apollo xiii. to do so, we have learned a lot about what is required to do a system that is a functioning, brazilian, and reliable system. first, -- resilience, and reliable system. first, think about this and the context of health care, and then i will brigit. first, there must be clarity of the system's goal. put a man on the moon. second, its elements must actually be connected. third, it must be continually able to know the status of itself and its critical components. finally, the system must be able to adapt as conditions change, often in real time. viewed against these four simple characteristics, every well functioning system books about the same. an atm system looks much like a public safety system, or the apollo mission that sent the astronauts to the moon. nonetheless, the system from a system point of view, they're very similar and analogous. it becomes more car what other systems are in crisis. but the one we are focusing on today, the america

, we have two water supply systems the cedar system and toll system that supplies one third and we own the entire head waters on 90 thousand acres and we control that and it's secure so it allows us to not filter that supply and the toll system we own 15000 acres around. so we control a majority of our system which gives us a little flexibility in the way we design and manage our system and allows experiments that we could not do in other areas. again, 90 thousand acres, most of our reservoir gets a hundred thousand precipitation dependent water supply. we don't have multi-year storage so we depend on that's a rain. for us, there's a number of adaptive strategies we've been trying to figure out to invest in to deal with consequences of climate change. one of the first is to try and figure out how to get rid of as much uncertainty as we can. we know we can't get rid of the uncertainty of why mate change but were there other things that we can start minimizing now so future water managers are not going to deal with those as an uncertainty in their portfolio. what does that inc

this little diagram shows you how the system would work. on a dry day, most of the sewage would be coming down the pipe, it would be flowing into the big transport structures that exist around the city, probably flowing right at the bottom of these very large structures. they are on the order of dozens of feet wide and dozens and dozens of feet deep and they have little sloped bottoms and q nets at the bottom where most of the dry weather sewage flows all the time. that waste water is transported to the treatment plant. on a rainy day, those transport storage structures, the large structure represented in the center of the picture, start to fill and they fill dramatically. it always amazes me to watch a flow gauge or a level gauge on one of these structures. just to give you an idea of their size, if any of you are familiar with the great highway out by ocean beach, there's one of these structures that runs under the great highway that's about two miles long, about 40 feet wide and about 40 or 50 feet deep and it can hold 50 million gallons

certainly, cleaning of the system is included. however, there would be a capital effort including installation and construction of new vent systems, treatment systems. this is focused on some areas where we have had odor complaints coming issues, and can address them through the vent program. this would enable venting of gases from the sewer system. >> you had made a comment the other day that the -- the number of complaints or dispersion of complaint areas was getting worse over time because of efforts to reduce the inflow? >> water conservation has been a wonderful but also difficult for us on the waste water side. less water is going through the system. the system is designed with a certain flow in mind to keep things moving. now everyone is using less water and we are not always getting the momentum to move solids to the plant. if they sit, gases can form. we will look at some ways to flush dead ends and move things faster. with the hot weather, low water usage, that can accentuate our challenges. >> now we are in section 4 and

in the downtown area of atlanta, the sewer system and the stormwater system are combined and there are overflows during storm events, and so the purpose of this system is to relieve that flow, take it into the tunnel, transport it to a brand-new treatment plant, clean up the chattahoochee river. narrator: instead of the combined sewage overflowing into the river, it will flow into this tunnel that acts as a storage tank. the water will then slowly empty into the new plant for treatment before it's released back into the river. man: the system in total is about 8 1/2 miles, 27 feet in diameter. most of the time it will be dry. the only time it will fill is when the sewer system is overwhelmed by the storm. it is a massive project. our budget was $210 million. we've worked about a million and a half man-hours. hunter: it is an incredible amount of work. our capital program right now is $3.9 billion. over a period of less than 10 years. franklin: so it's very expensive. the bottom line is, we, as atlantans, as georgians, don't have a choice to protect the river. we need to leave it better

we are still ramping up the system. in the next couple months system, the overall project manager is going to find a big push where many more people aren't going to be asked to use the system -- many more people are going to be asked to use the system. that is the target area right now, if i understand the emphasis of the question. we will try to answer some other questions after. all right. they are in my hand. [weeds name read thi reads nam] >> i wanted to talk about the planned service reduction in any new money that might come in. we heard that there might be deal worked out for some of these negotiations from the transportation authority in terms of the events of future sales revenues coming in early. i wanted to tell you that to the extent possible, the money from the revenue was often reduced service to keep service as close as it is now. frankly, the bosses are already crowded. service reductions could mean not only more crowded buses, but those in the middle of a run might have to wait for the second bus. meanin

boston built the first modern sewer system in the united states. ours was completed between 1877 and 1884. with this wonderful new sewer system, we were taking our filth and moving it out to the ocean. of course, all of this was untreated. in the 1960s, we were still pumping all of our sewage out to moon island, untreated. we would get swimmers here, never knowing, in the middle of summer, why you would have a cold. well, we were swimming in diluted sewage. melosi: the major way to deal with pollution, at least until early into the 20th century, was through the process of dilution. the assumption was that the capacity of rivers and streams, and even the seas, allowed for certain levels of pollution that eventually would purify themself. as we get later into the 20th century, it becomes clear that the volumes of waste made dilution unworkable as a single solution. and so treatment became the ways in which we deal with pollution. narrator: to protect public health, starting in the 1950s and '60s, there was a push to put in wastewater treatment plants

the central banking systems of the world. we are doing russia's central banking system at this point in time. retail, transportation, space -- apollo 13. we have learned a lot about what is required to do a system that is a well functioning, resilience, and reliable. first, i will find a system that i want you to think about this in the contact -- i will define a system and then i want you to think about this and the context of health care. it must serve a purpose or goal -- but a man on the moon. second, its elements must be connected. third, it must be able to know the status of itself and its critical components. finally, the system must be able to adapt as conditions change, often in real time. viewed against these four simple characteristics, every well functioning system looks about the same. an atm system looks like a public safety system, or like the apollo mission that set the astronauts to the moon and brought them back safely, even though they called houston with a bit of a problem. from a system point of view, the

>> the manager of collection systems is here. he is the best to answer. >> the initial pass through of the system will take six years. the reason you do not see a corresponding increase in the repair and replacement it is we are sending inspection teams to our estimated worst locations, based on the estimates we have seen over the past 16 years. we are going there to see if our conclusions are correct. those will be taken care of first. the object is to use this new accord and we are getting and then to come up with a 10-year plan. once the sewers are replaced, they do not require a six-year cycle. it is more likely that you will do a 10-year cycle. perhaps more frequent with others. >> getting back to your charts on 56, 57 -- those dollars are animal dollars, they are not inflated, not present value? >> currently, right now, $1 million on mile. >> so when you look at [no audio] k annual cost come if we were planning on a 15-year cycle. then on the next page you show the 15 years. after you break the hump, you step down to an 8-ye

then you take the system size in cec, california energy commission a.c. watts. that term is understood by the people in the industry. that means they use the c.e.c. ratings to determine the a.c. wattage. you get the per watt price. you divide this by this. you get the price per a.c. watt. you want to ask about permit fees as well. each city typically will charge fees. now those fees are coming down and we're working very hard to get them standardized and clear. there is some cost. sometimes the installers will pass that on to you. ask how they're dealing with it. you say, ok, what's my watt. let's see it was four d.c. but you'll have 18% less here, so that's the number you want, you divide this by that and you get that. so this would be 926 a watt. therefore, you can compare apples to apples. they have a standard calculator that they use on the web and they include that printout on your bid and they have to file that printout in your rebate application. so there is another possibility of lowering costs, the group buy. when i went, in i went in with a bunch of fri

the wider systemic factors. i think failure to investigate is a good example of that. why we had this failure to investigate results not from individual lawyers so much as the inability of individual lawyers to do that job because they don't have the resource. over 2/3 of the judges that we interviewed admitted that they had a problem in their county investigating indigent cases because they didn't have the resources. all of the public defenders that we interviewed and sent questionnaires to that we surveyed all of them reported they had not have enough adequate investigators on their staff and in fact, a number of these crabblingt defenders don't have any -- contract defenders don't have any staff investigatedors at all. the national standard promulgated by goals states there should be one investigator for every three attorneys. we found that most offices in this state don't comply with that. they don't meets that requirement. some had as many as nine attorneys to one investigator. that problem is coming pounded

the b.o.s.s. system because many different reasons. i'm trying to still kind of figure it out. but in the tcms program, it has a records data base, correct? >> yes it does. >> so does the b.o.s.s. system, right? >> yes, it does. >> and you also have in the tcms, you have grave site capability, grave site inventory capability. >> that's correct. >> so does the obviously the b.o.s.s. system. and then you also have infrastructure upgrades in your system. >> that's correct. >> they have it also in the b.o.s.s. system, correct? >> i'm -- now i'm not sure. >> i'll make it easy, they do. i'll take your word on it. >> and they have a project management system in the tcms, correct? >> yes. >> they also have a it in the b.o.s.s. system. they also have a gis in your system, correct? >> yes. >> and it's also in the b.o.s.s. system, so you're saying that it's not capable, you couldn't adapt it, what's the difference? what wasn't working? where was the break -- >> the scheduling was the biggest challenge that we had.

. >> reform will also rein in the abuse and excess that nearly brought down our financial system. it will finally bring transparency to the kind of complex and risky transactions that helped trigger the financial crisis. shareholders will also have a greater say on the pay of c.e.o.'s and other executives, so they can reward success instead of failure. finally, because of this law, the american people will never again be asked to foot the bill for wall street's mistakes. there will be no more tax-funded bailouts. period. >> if a large financial institution should ever fail, this reform gives us the ability to wind it down without endangering the broader economy. >> charlie: finally, the president said the bill helps all sectors of the country. >> in the end, our financial system only works -- our market is only free when there are clear rules and basic safeguards that prevent abuse, that check excess, that ensure that it is more profitable to play by the rules than to game the system, and that's what these reforms are designed to achieve. no more, no less. because that's how we wil

there was a lot of redundancy from the impact system, which was the previous maintenance system. when they did the merger, they imported all the data from the impact system, and the corporate [unintelligible] a lot of times would be identical to the ones that came over from impact. sometimes we would have four different listings for the same job. there was a lot of that that we were still working through. i personally put in probably 100 change requests over the previous three or four months, to eliminate some of our work load that was redundant or did not apply. >> so you got this rig maintenance system deployed on the vessel that was not a perfect fit. i understand from the testimony this morning about the software that also had problems. >> yes. those are not related, though. >> i understand, the overall picture of -- >> the chairs themselves work completely independent and isolated from the entire river network so there was no chance of infection, virus, hacking, there was no opportunity for that. >> and there is no system to track some of these bypasses or abnormal conditions

this map out lines the system. san bruno is over here. the full extent of the math is about 10 miles. the shaded green area is the watershed we are managing. the project consists of three major components. one is the replacement of the existing pumping station. the second one is various improvements in seismic and various facilities. a third component is a substation from pg&e. this is the status of the environmental review. we have released the eir back in november, and we closed the bid. eir was considered by the planning commission and certified. sfpuc adopted it on may 11. budget and funding. the total project cost estimate is $192 million. certain cost is estimated at $147 million. we are in agreement with the budget analyst recommendations. for corporations. major milestones of the project. we total lies the construction bid last june. we expect it due on august 12. we extended the bid psycho because of the complexity of the projects. we hope we can achieve the award in september and begin in october. in total, this will be about 36

however, the system has to be proven and reliable, and the green infrastructure is an exciting. it is new for us. but in some cases, it will have to be bolstered to make sure we can achieve that. and in our flood control program as we move forward, we will look for some successes. a full watershed analysis. consecutive storms. we also need to determine what the maintenance is. this is a deeper subject to we are into. this is how we would perform basically with different levels. and we look deaths of more intense storms. so our existing systems, 1.3 inches, this map shows where the flooding would occur, and the darker areas are more intense flooding. this is up by the creek, lower mission creek. then, let's look at these storms. this is something that i think has to be pointed out. within that three-hour duration, there is a variety of intensity. there are a number of different speeds over that little journey, but in this three-hour period, there is a piece that will occur, and the intensities are measured. so if we look at that same system, with a little bit more intensity, the

what is the frequency we need to keep our capital asset system running? there are also things under there that could be transported through box repair, tunnel inspection, other items that will come from this institution in the future. what i wanted to emphasize is that while we have been talking so much about bill long term, long-range capital program, there will always be a basis. you will see it every year in the budget process. that is the groundwork. we have to do all of that work every year, every day that there is activity. this is different, a capital program with new facilities and longer-term. just highlight again, probably again later in the presentation, there are three forms of investment as well as major capital investments. those are handled in the annual budget process. we will be returning to the commission to discuss the potential level of service for the program. one thing that affects both ssi p and r and r is asset management. we are trying to look to the future to stabilize life cycle costs, making sure that we pick the right asset to

globally and in canada there's this myth floating around the g twenty and the economic system that canada has somehow avoided the subprime meltdown and other forms of financial catastrophes this is all complete nonsense canadian debt stands at three point five trillion dollars or about one hundred sixty two thousand dollars for every man woman and child living in this frozen wasteland of socialist paradise so it's complete nonsense to assume that canada has somehow avoided it the canadian government has also become the largest subprime lender in the world and we all know what happened to every single u.s. financial institution that focused on subprime lending that all went bankrupt since not since two thousand and seven canada has introduced legislation and supported big government backing of more mortgage backed securities over ninety percent of canadian mortgages and now backed by the government and the amount of mortgage just backed by the government has gone from back about one hundred thirty billion dollars in two thousand and seven to tracking to five hundred billion dol

the institution of marriage. it is so much a part of our system that if we turned it on its head, first of all, people say the system would collapse, but it is an inherent part of our society and judicial system, so given the system we have worked with, i believe a plea is not inherently coercive. a plea bargain can be a good deal if individual circumstances are looked at, and public defenders talk to their clients. they do investigations. they negotiate with the prosecutor, and if the deal is given for the courts friends 1/5 of the time, i do not think that is necessarily -- accord spends 1/5 of the time, i do not think that is a bad thing, but sometimes people do not have the resources to do the investigation, but there is this courtroom culture, where it is, let's just get this through with fast-food justice, and individual circumstances are not looked at. that is when there is a serious problem. >> 95% of criminal cases in this country result in plea bargains, which means the system itself is ripe for abuse, and part of the problem is if you do not have a competent defense attorney challenging that, because pros

there was a lot of redundancy from the impact system, which was the previous maintenance system. when they did the merger, they imported all the data from the impact system, and the corporate [unintelligible] a lot of times would be identical to the ones that came over from impact. sometimes we would have four different listings for the same job. there was a lot of that that we were still working through. i personally put in probably 100 change requests over the previous three or four months, to eliminate some of our work load that was redundant or did not apply. >> so you got this rig maintenance system deployed on the vessel that was not a perfect fit. i understand from the testimony this morning about the software that also had problems. >> yes. those are not related, though. >> i understand, the overall picture of -- >> the chairs themselves work completely independent and isolated from the entire river network so there was no chance of infection, virus, hacking, there was no opportunity for that. >> and there is no system to track some of these bypasses or abnormal conditions

here on the west coast, a lot of our storm drain systems are separate from the sanitary sewer system, so if you dump something in the storm drain, it goes right to the ocean untreated. alamillo: we haven't had a major rainstorm in the last year or so yet there's a lot of water in this creek here. i would say 20% of it is natural and the other 80% is runoff. shapiro: the purpose of the smurrf is to treat dry weather runoff, which is coming from storm drains. dry-weather runoff occurs when people waste water through washing their cars in the street, hosing down sidewalks and parking lots, their irrigation systems overspray. narrator: in a city of 12 million people, those seemingly small bits of wasted water accumulate to enormous amounts. shapiro: so all that ends up in our streets, ends up in catch basins, storm drains, into our storm drain system, and for some of the city, parts of the city, it ends up here at smurrf. 350,000 gallons come here on a daily basis, producing recycled water, and that can be reused for landscape irrigation and indoor toilet flushing. the pumps can only hand

of the world, the central bank in systems of the world. , transportation, space, apollo xiii. to do so, we have learned a lot about what is required to do a system that is a functioning, brazilian, and reliable system. first, -- resilience, and reliable system. first, think about this and the context of health care, and then i will brigit. first, there must be clarity of the system's goal. put a man on the moon. second, its elements must actually be connected. third, it must be continually able to know the status of itself and its critical components. finally, the system must be able to adapt as conditions change, often in real time. viewed against these four simple characteristics, every well functioning system books about the same. an atm system looks much like a public safety system, or the apollo mission that sent the astronauts to the moon. nonetheless, the system from a system point of view, they're very similar and analogous. it becomes more clear what other systems are in crisis. but the one we are focusing on today, the american he
