MULTI BARRIER TREATMENT SYSTEM • MF Pretreatment MF Pretreatment • Hollow fiber PVDF membranes, 0.2 um pore size • Removes bacteria, protozoa, and suspended solids • RO Membranes • Removes dissolved solids, viruses, organic compounds (including pharmaceuticals), etc. (including pharmaceuticals), etc. • Concentrate blended with WWTP effluent and discharged to ocean • Advanced Oxidation – UV/H O • Advanced Oxidation – UV/H 2 O 2 • Low pressure, high output system • Destroys trace organics • Removes NDMA and 1,4 Dioxane • Post ‐ Treatment Stabilization • Decarbonation to raise pH • Lime addition to stabilize RO permeate 5

EXPANSION PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE OPERATIONS AND RELIABILITY ENHANCE OPERATIONS AND RELIABILITY • Secondary effluent flow equalization provided to minimize diurnal flow variations and maximize production • Incorporated energy recovery devices (ERD) to new RO units to reduce energy consumption and energy consumption and prolong membrane life • New RO building layout to improve accessibility to improve accessibility to basement and pipe gallery • Pilot tested and implemented new lime slurry implemented new lime slurry system to enhance post ‐ treatment reliability 6

IMPROVED OPERATION ACCESS IN NEW RO BUILDING 8

ALTERNATIVE POST ‐ TREATMENT TARGET TO IMPROVE STABILITY AND RELIABILITY IN IMPROVE STABILITY AND RELIABILITY IN WATER QUALITY • Alternative target mimics rain water quality for groundwater replenishment • Increased buffer intensity improves reliability • Increased calcium content better protects cement mortar lined pipes • Alternative target minimizes transport of metals within groundwater supply 9

LIME SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS Existing Lime Slurry System Existing Lime Slurry System • Existing system is a flow paced system that is ramped up and down based on flow conditions (inconsistent reaction flow conditions (inconsistent reaction times in slurry make ‐ up tank) • Dry lime transfer system is susceptible to plugging and is controlled by screw conveyer speed d • Unable to keep up with peak lime demands New Lime Slurry System (RDP Lime Slaker System) • Lime slurry make ‐ up is controlled by weight, providing a greater level of accuracy over the existing flow paced system • Temperature controlled system to maintain optimum reaction conditions maintain optimum reaction conditions • Dry lime transfer system is not susceptible to plugging 10
