Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreement with the
Garden Grove Sanitary District, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City
Manager and City Attorney, for the joint use of sewerage facilities.
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana owns and operates a sewer collection system comprised of 390 miles of
sewer main pipeline which collects sewage from all residents and businesses within Santa Ana.
The neighboring city, Garden Grove, also owns and operates a sewer collection system for the
same purposes. Along Santa Ana's limits with the City of Garden Grove, there are shared sewer
pipeline and sewer mains which collect sewage generated by residents and businesses of Santa
Ana and Garden Grove. The sharing of sewerage facilities in this boundary area allows for
servicing the needs of both communities at a substantial cost savings.
The City of Santa Ana and the Garden Grove Sanitary District (City of Garden Grove) first
entered a joint use agreement for shared sewerage facilities in 1985 (Exhibit 1). Under the terms
of the 1985 agreement, the limits of shared facilities are identified, a capital improvement cost
sharing basis is established based on proportionate use, maintenance responsibilities are
defined, and criteria is established identifying when capital improvements are necessary. To
date, the agreement has served both cities well.
The proposed joint use of sewerage facilities agreement (Exhibit 2) replaces the original 1985
agreement. It is necessary to reestablish shared commitments, incorporate new sewer pipeline
replacement and design criteria, update the capital cost sharing commitments, and incorporate
additional sewer pipe segments which were not previously included in the 1985 agreement. The
updated agreement retains the spirit of cooperation, and shared costs and responsibilities of the
original agreement. The new shared sewerage facilities agreement is for a period of 50 years,

expiring on June 30, 2067. Such a period acknowledges the typical lifespan of the sewerage
facilities.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 - Community Facilities &
Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City
assets).

AGREEMENT
FOR
JOINT USE OF SEWERAGE FACILITIES
This agreement, made and entered into this 5th day of
August 19 85 , between the.City of Santa Ana, a municipal
corporation, hereinafter referred to.as "CITY", and the Garden Grove Sanitary
District of Orange County, California, a sanitary district organized under the
Sanitary District Act of 1923, hereinafter referred to as "DISTRICT".
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, Orange County District Reorganization No. 66 will detach
approximately 1,000 acres from the DISTRICT, of which approximately 906 acres
are located within CITY; and,
WHEREAS, Reorganization No. 66 will transfer to CITY the fixed assets
of the detached portion of DISTRICT that are within CITY; and
WHEREAS, said Reorganization provides for DISTRICT to retain capacity
rights in certain DISTRICT sewerage facilities to be transferred to CITY which
will be needed by DISTRICT to transport wastewater from remaining areas of --
DISTRICT to the Orange County Sanitation District facilities; and,
WHEREAS, sewers transferred to CITY will remain connected to sewers
retained by DISTRICT, and CITY will need capacity rights in these sewers to
transport wastewater from the detached area within CITY to downstream portions
of the same sewer transferred to CITY; and,
WHEREAS, a report prepared.by Boyle Engineering Corporation for the r
City of Santa Ana entitled "Addendum to the June 1979Engineering Report Update
on Sewerage Facilities" dated July 27, 1984 indicates that certain shared sewers
within CITY or DISTRICT will not have adequate capacity for the wastewater from
the planned ultimate development of the areas within DISTRICT and CITY tributary
to said certain facilities; and,
WHEREAS,. because capacity rights in certain sewerage facilities will be
shared by DISTRICT and CITY, it is in the best interests of DISTRICT and CITY to
enter into an agreement to provide for the cost sharing of maintenance of sewers
in which DISTRICT and CITY will share capacity rights and to provide for funding
of the construction of future severs within CITY or DISTRICT that may be
necessary to provide sufficient capacity to transport the combined ultimate
wastewater flows from portions of DISTRICT and CITY to the Orange County
Sanitation District facilities; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the payments herein provided and
the.several obligations hereof, the parties agree;
1. Shared Sewers
(a) CITY hereby grants to'DISTRICT and DISTRICT hereby grants to
CITY capacity rights so long as capacity is available in the shared sewers, the
locations of which are shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and described in
Exhibit $ attached hereto. DISTRICT and CITY agree to use said shared severs
only to transport wastewater from those portions of DISTRICT or CITY within the
tributary area as shown on said Exhibit A. The shared sewers, or portions
thereof, shall be deemed to be at capacity when the measured peak }flow bas a
depth equal to 75% of the sewer diameter.
When either party determines by field measurements that a portion
of a shared sewer is flowing at capacity, as defined herein, they shall
immediately notify the other party in writing, setting forth the limits, the
measured flow, and the depth of the peak flow.
25�°£4�
Upon determination and notification that a sewer is at capacity,
both parties shall immediately cease issuance of any additional sewer connection
permits to any tributary sewer. The cessation of issuance of sewer connection
permits shall continue in force until additional sewer capacity has been
constructed as provided for herein.
(b) CITY and DISTRICT agree to maintain their respective portions
of the shared sewers as shown on Exhibit A in the same manner and at the same
frequency as all other sewers maintained by CITY or DISTRICT.
(c) Replacement or Repair of Shared Sewers
Both parties agree that the shared sewers have a finite life
and eventually, due to damage or deterioration, all or portions of the shared
sewers may need to be replaced. When either party determines that a portion of a
shared sewer within its jurisdiction is in need of major replacement, it shall
immediately notify the other party in writing, setting forth a description and
schedule of repair or replacement and the estimated cost thereof. Unless the
work is required to abate a public health problem it shall be scheduled so that
both parties can arrange for financing in the next following fiscal year. Work
'required to abate a public health problem shall be commenced immediately.
The cost of repair or replacement of each shared line shall be
apportioned to each party as set forth.in Exhibit B. The total cost shall
include engineering, administration and construction expenses. Prior to starting
the repair or replacement work, the initiating party shall bill the other party
for their apportioned share.. The other party shall promptly deposit the billed
amount. Upon completion of the work and payment of all costs, the initiating
party shall submit a report setting forth all costs incurred together with either
a bill, or a refund for the difference between the actual apportioned cost and
the deposit.
'25P-5
Any repair or replacement costing less than 45,000.00 may
be done by force account. Repairs or replacements costing in excess of
$5,000.00 shall be subject to a public bidding process.
If, within 30 days.aftor notification, .the notified party
disagrees with the necessity or estimated cost or apportionment of the cost of
the repair or replacement, they shall so notify the other party in writing. If
the parties are unable to agree upon the need or cost of, the repair or replacement,
the matter may be submitted to arbitration as set forth in Section 4.
2. Future Sewers
It is anticipated that, as the tributary area to the shared sewers
continues to develop, there will not be adequate capacity, as defined in Section
1, in some of the shared sewers. Exhibit C attached hereto shows the sizes and
locations of parallel sewers and relief connections to orange County Sanitation
District facilities that are anticipated will be required in the future to
provide capacity for ultimate planned development.
On or before October 1st of each year, each party shall determine
whether the shared sewers within their jurisdication have sufficient capacity, as
defined in Section 1, to provide service without limiting connections for the
next calendar year. If it appears that adequate capacity will not be available,
then the parties shall meet and determine within 60 days the.size and estimated
cost of a parallel relief sewer that, together with the existing sewer, will
provide adequate capacity for ultimate planned development within the tributary
area. Each party shall provide the estimated ultimate flows for their portion of
the tributary area.
The cost of the new parallel sewer, including engineering,
administration and construction shall be apportioned between the parties equal to
25D-6
4 of 6
the ratio that each party's estimated ultimate peak flows bears to the combined
ultimate peak flow.
The construction of the new line shall be scheduled to start after
the next July lst in order to permit both parties to budget the required funds.
Prior to commencing construction, the party within whose
jurisdiction the new sewer will be located shall bill the other party for their
apportioned share of the total cost. The other party shall promptly deposit the
billed amount. Upon completion of the work, and payment of all costs, the
initiating party shall submit a report setting forth all costs incurred together
with either a bill or a refund for the difference between the actual apportioned
cost and the deposit.
If one of the parties does not finance their apportioned share of
the new parallel sewer, or relief connection, or for any other reason declines to
participate, then the remaining party at their option may proceed to construct
and finance a parallel sewer with capacity only for the tributary area within
their jurisdiction, if this option is exercised, then the party choosing not to
participate shall immediately cease issuance of sewer connection permits as
provided for in Section 1(a). Such cessation of connection permits shall remain
in effect until the non -participating party constructs sewer facilities with
capacity for added flows from their tributary area :or diverts the added flow to
non -shared sewers.
3. Modifications
A -pumping station in Fountain Valley now discharges sewage into the
shared line in Edinger Avenue. In the event that the flow from this pumping
station is discharged elsewhere, this agreement shall be. modified as necessary to
reflect the changed condition.

apportionment of repair or replacement of shared sewers, the matter may be
submitted to arbitration before a 3 -man arbitration board in the following
manner:
Either party may, within 60 days after the date of the notification
of the need for a repair or replacement, appoint one member of said arbitration
board, giving notice thereof to the party making the first appointment to said
board. The third member shall be appointed by the first two members. All
members of said board shall be registered Civil Engineers in the State of
California.

AGREEMENT FOR JOINT USE OF SEWERAGE FACILITIES
THIS AGREEMENT FOR JOINT"USE OF SEWERAGE FACILITIES (the "Agreement") is
made and entered into to be effective as of the day of , 2017_ (the "Effective
Date") by and between the Garden Grove Sanitary District ("District"), a subsidiary district of the
City of Garden Grove, and the City of Santa Ana ("City"), a municipal corporation. District and
City are sometimes individually referred to as "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties."
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the District and City both own, operate, and maintain sewerage facilities within
their respective jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for District and City to enter into this Agreement to ensure
effective operation and maintenance of sewerage facilities, protection of the public health and
welfare, compliance with the Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements, and equitable cost sharing
between District and City, for jointly used sewerage facilities.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and promises
herein contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the District and the City, as follows:
1. SHARED SANITARY SEWERS.
(a) Cgpacity Rights.
City hereby grants to District, and District hereby grants to City, capacity rights, subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, in those shared sanitary sewers located within the territorial
jurisdictions of City and District, respectively, the locations of which are shown on Exhibit "A" and
described on Exhibit "B" attached hereto. District and City agree to use the shared sewers only to
transport wastewater from those areas specified on Exhibit "A" as tributary to the shared sanitary
sewers. The Parties agree to notify the other party if wastewater is transported outside the area
depicted on Exhibit "A". The diversion, release, or transmission of wastewater from any other area
into the shared sanitary sewer facilities by either Party, without express written consent of the other
Party, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement, provided that (i) the non -breaching Party
provides written notice to the breaching Party which explains with particularity the nature of the
claimed breach, and (ii) within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, the breaching Party fails
to cure the claimed breach or, in the case of a claimed breach which cannot be reasonably remedied
within a thirty (30) day period, the breaching Party fails to commence to cure the claimed breach
within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently complete the activities reasonably
necessary to remedy the claimed breach: The shared sanitary sewers, or portions thereof, shall be
deemed to be at capacity when the measured peak dry weather flow has a depth equal to the
following percentage of the sewer diameter, as verified through flow monitoring:

New or Replacement Shared Sewers (<18" in Diameter)
50%
If one Party to this Agreement determines by field measurements that a portion of a shared
sanitary sewer is flowing at, above or within 10% of capacity, as defined herein, that Party shall
immediately notify the other Party in writing, setting forth the sewer line capacity limits, the
measured flow, and the depth of the peak dry weather flow, and provide any other information and
documentation relating to the flow supporting the determination which the notifying party possesses.
Upon determination and notification that a sanitary sewer, or a portion or portions thereof, is
at or exceeding capacity, both Parties shall immediately cease issuance of any additional sewer
connection permits and permits for increases in the number of restrooms, sinks, showers, bathtubs,
or square footage in existing building that directly or indirectly convey wastewater to those portions
of that sewer that is at or exceeding capacity. The cessation of issuance of sewer comiection permits
and permits for increases in the number or restrooms, sinks, showers, bathtubs, and square footage in
existing buildings shall continue in force until sufficient additional sewer capacity has been
constructed and been placed in operation as provided for herein.
(b) Maintenance.
City and District each agree to maintain the portions of the shared sanitary sewers as shown
on Exhibit "A" which are located within their respective jurisdictions in good condition and in at
least the same manner and at the same frequency as all other comparable sanitary sewers maintained
by City or District. Costs for routine maintenance of any portion of a shared sanitary sewer shall be
borne by the Party within whose territory the shared sanitary sewer is located. For purposes of this
Agreement, routine maintenance shall include anything that is within the normal scope of sewer line'
maintenance duties of the responsible Party's employees or contractors, including, but not limited to,
regular cleaning of the entire system (including more frequent cleaning at problem areas), visual and
closed circuit television inspection and re -inspection, pump station maintenance, and root removal.
Any repair in excess of the normal scope of such duties, or which is necessitated by changes from
the plan design conditions, shall be undertaken pursuant to Paragraph I (c).
(c) Replacement or Repair of Shared Sanitary Sewers.
Both Parties acknowledge and agree that the shared sanitary sewers have a finite life and
eventually, due to damage or deterioration, all or portions of the shared sanitary sewers may need to
be repaired or replaced. When a Party determines that a portion of shared sewer within its
jurisdiction is in need of repair or replacement, it shall immediately notify the other Party in writing,
setting forth a description and schedule of repair or replacement and the estimated cost thereof.
Unless the work is required to abate a public health or welfare problem, it shall be scheduled so that
both parties can budget for the project in the second subsequent fiscal year, effectively allowing both
parties to budget for the project two years after determination of need of repair or replacement.
Work required to abate a public health or welfare problem shall be commenced immediately. Except
in the case of work required to immediately abate a public health or welfare problem, the Parties
shall meet to review the plans and specifications for the repair or replacement of the shared sanitary
25D-16
579683.1
sewer (i) upon their fifty percent (50%) completion and (ii) upon their completion, but prior to the
solicitation of bids for the repair or replacement work.
The cost of repair or replacement of each shared sanitary sewer shall be apportioned to each
Party according to flows as set forth on Exhibit `B," The total cost shall include both in-house and
outside engineering, administration, and constriction expenses. Prior to starting the repair or
replacement work, the initiating Party shall invoice the other Party for its apportioned estimated cost
share. The other Party shall promptly deposit the invoiced amount with the initiating Party. The
initiating Party shall keep these monies in a segregated fund and use them only for the project for
which they were deposited. Upon completion of the work and payment of all costs, the initiating
Party shall submit a report setting forth all costs incurred together with either an invoice, or a refund
for the difference between the actual apportioned cost and the deposit (and any related accumulated
interest).
All repair and replacement work shall be done in accordance with applicable laws,
ordinances, charter provisions related to public work projects, and the applicable standards and
specifications of the Party within whose jurisdiction the work is being performed.
If, within 30 days after notification, the notified Party disagrees with the necessity for, or
disagrees with the estimated cost of, the repair or replacement, it shall so notify the other Party in
writing. If the parties are unable to agree upon the need for or cost of the repair or replacement, the
Parties may pursue any other remedies authorized bytbis Agreement.
This Subsection 1(c) shall apply to any replacement of a shared sewer line by a new shared
sewer line of equal or lesser capacity. Section 2 of this Agreement shall apply to replacement of
existing shared sewer lines by new sewer lines with a capacity greater than the capacity of the line
being replaced and the construction of new shared sewer lines.
(d) Compliance with Law.
Each Party hereby agrees to operate and maintain the shared sanitary sewers within its
jurisdiction and those sanitary sewers within its jurisdiction that directly or indirectly connect to
shared sanitary sewers in the other Party's jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable federal and
state laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, any waste discharge requirements
("WDRs") lawfully established by the State Water Resources Control Board and/or the Santa Ana
Regional Water Quality Control Board, and each Party's respective Operation and Maintenance Plan
when such plan is adopted (collectively, "Applicable Laws and Regulations").
2. FUTURE SANITARY SEWERS.
(a) Annual Determination of Sufficiency of Capacity in Shared Sewers.
It is anticipated that future development in the tributary areas to the shared sanitary sewers
may lead to a situation in which there is a need for additional capacity, as defined in Section 1, in
some of the shared sanitary sewers. On or before October 1st of each year, each Party shall
detennine whether the shared sanitary sewers within its jurisdiction have sufficient capacity, as
defined in Section 1, to provide service without limiting connections for the next calendar year.
Each Party shall bear their individual cost of performing the sufficiency of capacity determination
25D-17
579683.1
with respect to the sewers within their jurisdiction and will perform the determination by whatever
means and methods they deem, appropriate. The results of such determinations must be shared with
the other Party by October 1 st of each year when the results indicate that a shared sanitary sewer is
near or over capacity as defined in Section 1.
(b) Construction of New Shared Sanitary Sewer
If a Party determines that any shared sanitary sewers within its jurisdiction will not have
sufficient capacity to provide service without limiting connections for the next calendar year, then
the Parties shall meet and determine within sixty (60) days the size acrd estimated cost of a new,
larger sanitary sewer that will provide adequate capacity for ultimate planned development witivn
the tributary areas. The Parties anticipate that such new, larger sanitary sewers will generally be
designed and constructed as replacements for the then -existing shared sanitary sewers. Unless
otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Party within whose jurisdiction the new sanitary sewer will be
located shall be responsible for preparation of the plans and specifications for the new sanitary
sewer. The Parties shall meet to review the plans and specifications (i) upon their fifty percent
(50ofo) completion and (ii) upon their completion, but prior to the solicitation of bids for construction
of new sanitary sewer.
The cost of the new sanitary sewer, including in-house and outside engineering,
administrative, and construction, shall be apportioned between the parties in the proportions set forth
on Exhibit "B."
The construction of the new line shall be scheduled to start by the mutual agreement of the
parties, but in no event shall it be undertaken prior to the next July 1st so that both parties may
budget for the required funds, unless earlier construction is required due to an irmnediate threat to
public health and welfare or unless theparties mutually agree to earlier commencement of
construction.
Prior to commencing construction, the Party within whose jurisdiction the new sanitary
sewer will be located shall invoice the other Party for its apportioned share of the estimated total
cost. The other Party shall promptly deposit the invoiced amount with the initiating Party. The
initiating Party shall keep these monies in a segregated fund and use them only for the project for
which they were deposited. Upon completion of the work, and payment of all costs, the initiating
Party shall submit a report setting forth all costs incurred together with either an invoice, or a refund,
for the difference between the actual apportioned cost and the deposit (and any related accumulated
interest).
(c) Withdraw of Tributary Areas in Lieu of Contribution to Cost of New Shared Sewer.
In lieu of contributing to the cost of a new, larger shared sanitary sewer, a Party may elect to
withdraw the areas within its jurisdiction tributary to the shared sanitary sewer fiom coverage under
this Agreement and construct alternative connections of the sanitary sewerage facilities in such
tributary areas, provided that the Party provides notice to the other Party of its intention to withdraw
such tributary areas and construct alternative corrections and/or facilities prior to the award of a
contract by the other Party for design of the new shared sanitary sewer. The failure to provide such
notice prior to the award of the design contract shall constitute a waiver of the right to elect to
withdraw. A Party that makes such an election to withdraw shall, as of eighteen (18) months
r
57968).1
following the date of the election be deemed to have relinquished all capacity rights in, and rights to
discharge to both the relevant existing shared sanitary sewer, to the extent such sewer remains in
existence fotlowing construction of the new larger sanitary sewer, and any new supplemental or
enlarged replacement sanitary sewer constructed by the other Party. The withdrawing Party shall
commence construction of the alternate connections of the sanitary sewerage facilities and/or new
facilities in affected tributary areas within a reasonable time after notifying the other Party of its
election and, in the absence of a mutual agreement of the Parties providing otherwise, shall ensure
that the alternate connections and/or facilities are constricted and in operation, and that the area
served by the shared sewer no longer discharges into the shared sanitary sewer, no more than
eighteen (18) months after notifying the other Party of its election. Such Party shall make a good
faith effort to coordinate construction of its alternate sanitary sewer connections and/or facilities
with the other Party's construction of the new sanitary sewer.
(d) Options in Event of Party's Failure to Fund Apportioned Share of New Shared Sewer.
If one of the Parties does not finance or fund its apportioned share of the new sanitary sewer
or for any other reason declines to participate, then, unless such Party withdraws and constructs
alternate connections as provided in Section 2(c), above, the other Party, at its sole option, may take
any of the following actions:
(i) Proceed to construct with its own funds a new supplemental sanitary sewer with
capacity only for the tributary area or a portion thereof within its jurisdiction. If this
option is exercised, then the non -participating Party shall have no capacity rights in
the new supplemental sewer and, with respect to the existing shared sanitary sewer,
shall immediately cease issuance of sewer connection permits and permits for
additional fixtures in, and/or square footage additions to, existing buildings as
provided for in Section I(a). Such cessation of issuance of permits shall remain in
effect until the non -participating Party constructs alternate sewer facilities with
capacity for added flows from its tributary area or diverts the added flows to non -
shared sanitary sewers. The non -participating party shall be solely responsible for all
maintenance, repair; abandonment and enforcement costs of the existing shared
sanitary sewer following the construction of the supplemental sanitary sewer until it
constructs alternate sewer facilities or diverts all of its flows to non -shared sanitary
sewers;
(ii) Proceed to construct with its own funds anew, larger sanitary sewer with capacity for
the tributary areas in the jurisdictions of both parties and recover from the non-
participating Party that Party's proportionate share of all necessary and appropriate
costs as determined after completion of construction, through mutual co-op
agreement of the Parties ; and/or
(iii) Pursue any remedy authorized in law, in equity, or by this Agreement.
(e) Treatment of New Shared Sanitary Sewers and Amendment of Exhibits
Upon completion of construction, ,new shared sanitary sewers shall be treated by the Parties
in the same manner as existing shared sanitary sewers. The Parties shall, in good faith, negotiate an
amendment to Exhibits A and B upon completion of each new shared sanitary sewer in order to
25D-19
579681.1 1
maintain an accurate record of the shared sanitary sewers and the appropriate unit flow factors and
proportionate flows.
3. ARBITRATION.
If the parties are unable to agree on the necessity, cost, or apportionment of cost of repair,
replacement, or construction of shared sanitary sewers, upon mutual agreement of the parties, the
matter may be submitted to arbitration pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure, Part 3, Title
9, Sections 1280 et seq.
If the parties do not mutually agree to arbitration, either Party may pursue all remedies
available to it under law, including the initiation of legal proceedings to determine each Party's
rights and obligations.
4. ENFORCEMENT OF DISCHARGE REGULATIONS
(a) Primary Enforcement Responsibility.
Each Party agrees to keep in force and effect ordinances, regulations, and/or procedures
regulating discharges of materials and substances into the sanitary sewers within its jurisdiction
(collectively, "Discharge Regulations"), which are required by, and comply with, all Applicable
Laws and Regulations. Each Party shall have primary responsibility for enforcing its own Discharge
Regulations. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "enforcement" shall include monitoring,
inspection, sampling, investigation of past and potential discharge violations, issuance of
administrative orders and compliance schedules, recovery of administrative and civil penalties,
obtaining injunctive relief to ensure compliance with applicable Discharge Regulations, and any
other actions taken to ensure compliance with applicable Discharge Regulations. Nothing herein
shall be construed to limit the ability of either Party to enforce its own Discharge Regulations or the
terms and conditions of any sewer connection or discharge permits issued by such Party.
(b) Cooperation in Enforcement.
(i) Either Party may request to participate with or accompany inspections being
conducted within the areas tributary to the shared sanitary sewers that are outside of
the requesting Party's jurisdiction, and the inspecting Party shall reasonably
accommodate all such requests.
(ii) The Parties agree to cooperate in exchanging reports, correspondence and other
information relating to the discharges in the service areas within their respective
jurisdictions which are tributary to the shared sanitary sewers, including data on all
point sources relating to discharge quality, and information produced as a result of
monitoring; inspection and enforcement. It is the intent of the parties that, except in
an emergency as set forth in Section 3(b) (iii), if either Party determines that
enforcement actions or additional enforcement actions are or may be needed with
respect to a discharge originating within the other Party's jurisdiction, the Party so
determining shall notify the other Party, and the Parties shall meet and confer in order
to determine the appropriate enforcement actions to be taken and the roles of the
Parties.
25D-20
579683.1 6
In the event of a bona fide emergency, any affected Party may proceed with
enforcement measures it reasonably deems necessary to protect the shared sanitary
sewers within its jurisdiction, but such Party shall notify the other Party of such
action as soon thereafter as possible.
(iv) Either Party, upon becoming aware through its monitoring or inspection or by
information received from a discharger or a third party, of any discharge originating
within any area within its jurisdiction that is tributary to a shared sanitary sewer
within the other Party's jurisdiction, which presents an imminent danger to the public
health, safety or welfare, or the environment, or which threatens to interfere with the
operation of the other Patty's sewerage system, shall immediately notify the other
Party of such discharge. Each Party shall also immediately inform the other Party of
any discharger within such tributary areas which has been determined by such Party
to be in non-compliance with the terms of its discharge permit or such Party's
Discharge Regulations and of what enforcement action is proposed to be taken by
such determining Party.
(c) City Delegation of Secondary Enforcement Authority to District
(i) Delegation of City's Enforcement Authority to District. To the extent permitted by
law, City hereby delegates to District, the limited authority necessary, within the
scope of this Agreement, to enforce City's Discharge Regulations and the terms and
conditions of any sewer connection or discharge permits applicable in the service
areas within the City's jurisdiction which are tributary to the shared sanitary sewers
located within District's jurisdiction.
(ii) Secondary Enforcement by District. Within those portions of City's service areas that
are tributary to shared sanitary sewers located within the District's jurisdiction, if the
District makes a detennination that enforcement or additional enforcement is
necessary in a particular instance, and if the City has not initiated the enforcement or
additional enforcement, the District shall be entitled to proceed independently to
pursue enforcement as it deems appropriate; provided that the District has first
requested that the City respond with the appropriate enforcement and the City has
failed to respond within a period of time that is reasonable (based on the urgency of
the circumstances). Except in an emergency, if the District determines to take
independent actions pursuant to this paragraph, it shall first notify the City as soon as
possible, but not less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the intended
enforcement action. Such notice may be given in writing or by telephone or by
electronic communication or facsimile, confirmed in writing.
(d) District Delegation of Secondary Enforcement Authority to City.
(i) Delegation of District's Enforcement Authority to City. To the extent permitted by
law, District hereby delegates to City, the limited authority necessary, within the
scope of this Agreement, to enforce District's Discharge Regulations and the terns
and conditions of any sewer comiection or discharge permits applicable in the service
25D-21
579683.1
areas within the District's jurisdiction which are tributary to the shared sanitary
sewers located within City's jurisdiction.
(ii) Secondary Enforcement by City. Within those portions of District's service areas that
are tributary to shared sanitary sewers located within the City's jurisdiction, if the
City makes a determination that enforcement or additional enforcement is necessary
in a particular instance, and if the District has not initiated the enforcement or
additional enforcement, the City shall be entitled to proceed independently to pursue
enforcement as it deems appropriate; provided that the City has first requested that
the District respond with the appropriate enforcement and the District has failed to
respond within a period of time that is reasonable (based on the urgency of the
circumstances). Except in an emergency, if the City determines to take independent
actions pursuant to this paragraph, it shall first notify the District as soon as possible,
but not less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the intended enforcement
action. Such notice may be given in writing or by telephone or by electronic
communication or facsimile, confirmed in writing.
(e) Nothing herein is intended to relieve either Party from any responsibility it may
otherwise legally have for enforcement within its own jurisdiction or make the Parties jointly
responsible therefore.
5. REMEDIES.
In addition to any other remedies provided elsewhere in this Agreement and by law, the
parties shall be entitled to specific performance. The parties acknowledge that monetary damages
are not an adequate remedy in the event of a breach by either Party to this Agreement with respect to
the obligations to construct or repair facilities and to discontinue wastewater discharges to affected
sewers. The Parties agree that the construction, repair or discontinuance obligations shall be
specifically enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
Each Party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and each of its officers,
directors, council members, employees, agents and representatives against and from any and all
actions, claims, damages to persons or property, fines, fees, penalties, obligations or liabilities,

subdivision, governmental agency, or other organization, arising out of, resulting from, or in
connection with (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of itself, its officers, agents, employees, or
representatives in the performance of this Agreement, and (ii) any wastewater discharge from a
sanitary sewer operated by, or on behalf of, itself, into ashared sanitary sewer within the jurisdiction
of the other Party.
TERM AND TERMINATION.
