Proclamation
of the
City of Crescent City
WHEREAS, the City of Crescent City recognizes that the lands known as the Americas have been occupied by Indigenous peoples since time immemorial; and WHEREAS, Indigenous Peoples' Day is a day to celebrate the Indigenous peoples who call California home and who persevered in the face of unimaginable challenges to shape California’s past, present and future; and
WHEREAS, peoples indigenous to California have survived the forces of systematic and legalized oppression, violence and discrimination, including a government funded effort to erase them from existence known as the “war of extermination,” the criminalization of their culture and language, the taking of their homelands, and the forced separation of families through legal slavery and forced enrollment in boarding schools; and WHEREAS, Crescent City was founded upon the ancestral homelands and villages of the Taa-laa-wa dee-ni', a place named “Taa-'at-dvn” long before it was incorporated as a city in 1854; and
WHEREAS, the 1850s were a particularly brutal period in Del Norte County as several organized attacks on Tolowa villages resulted in the deaths of hundreds of men, women, children, and elders, with the Yan'-daa-k'vt assault being the second largest massacre of Indigenous People on American soil; and
WHEREAS, acknowledging this brutal past as part of our collective history is an essential step toward healing and gaining a better understanding of our Indigenous community; and WHEREAS, southern Del Norte County is the ancestral home of the Yurok People, who constitute an integral part of both our region’s history and the current community that is Crescent City; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the value of the many contributions made to our community through Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge, labor, spirituality, technology, science, philosophy, arts and the deep cultural contribution that have substantially shaped the character of Crescent City; and
WHEREAS, the City of Crescent City promotes the closing of the equity gap for Indigenous Peoples through policies and practices that reflect the experiences of Indigenous Peoples, ensuring greater access and opportunity, and honoring our nation’s Indigenous history and contributions; and
WHEREAS, three years ago, the City invited representatives from the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation, the Elk Valley Rancheria, and the Tolowa Nation to serve on a Taa-laa-wa Cultural Committee to consult and advise on certain City projects, particularly those related to the Beachfront Park Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Taa-laa-wa Cultural Committee has worked tirelessly with City staff and consultants to create the Tolowa Cultural Trail, an interpretive walk where Tolowa history and culture are shared by the Tolowa People along a rebuilt coastal pathway in Beachfront Park.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of Crescent City recognizes Monday, October 13, 2025 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day; and BE IT FURTHER PROCLAIMED that the City of Crescent City shall continue its efforts to partner with the Taa-laa-wa dee-ni' to promote the prosperity and well-being of the local Indigenous community; and
BE IT FURTHER PROCLAIMED that Indigenous Peoples’ Day shall be used to reflect upon the ongoing struggles of Indigenous People on this land, and to celebrate the thriving culture and value that Indigenous Peoples add to our City; and
BE IT FURTHER PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of Crescent City encourages other businesses, organizations, and public institutions to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Signed this 6
th day of October 2025.

Proclamation
of the
City of Crescent City
WHEREAS, the City of Crescent City is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those living in Crescent City and visiting ; and
WHEREAS, fire remains a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally, and the presence of lithium-ion batteries in many household devices introduces unique fire risks; and WHEREAS, most of the electronics used in homes daily — including smartphones, tablets, laptops, power tools, e-bikes, e-scooters, and toys — are powered by lithium-ion batteries, which if misused, damaged, or improperly charged, can overheat, start a fire, or explode; and WHEREAS, the National Fire Protection Association®(NFPA®) reports an increase in battery-related fires, underscoring the need for public education on the safe use of lithium-ion batteries; and WHEREAS, residents should follow three key calls to action: Buy only listed products, charge batteries safely, and recycle them responsibly to prevent battery-related fires; and WHEREAS, lithium-ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small space, and improper use such as overcharging, using off-brand chargers without safety certification, or exposing batteries to damage can result in fire or explosion; and
WHEREAS, the proper disposal and recycling of lithium-ion batteries help prevent environmental hazards and reduce fire risks in the home and community; and WHEREAS, Crescent City first responders are dedicated to reducing the occurrence of fires through prevention, safety education, and community outreach; and WHEREAS, the 2025 Fire Prevention Week™ theme, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” serves to remind us of the importance of using, charging, and recycling lithium-ion batteries safely to reduce the risk of fires in homes and communities.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, that we, the City Council of the City of Crescent City, do hereby proclaim October 5–11, 2025, as Fire Prevention Week throughout Crescent City, California.

Proclamation
of the
City of Crescent City
WHEREAS, nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in our country have suffered physical violence by an intimate partner, and domestic violence impacts people of every age, ethnicity, nationality, economic status, and belief; and
WHEREAS, victims of domestic violence are deprived of autonomy and security, face threats to their health and safety, and, in many instances, find themselves left with significant financial insecurity; and
WHEREAS, crimes like domestic violence inhibit our community from reaching its fullest potential and, although great progress in bringing awareness to and providing protections against domestic violence has been made, much work remains; and WHEREAS, the City reaffirms its dedication to providing a community where no one suffers the pain and hardship caused by domestic violence, and recognizes the advocates, victim service providers, and organizations who work tirelessly to prevent domestic violence and extend hope and healing to survivors and victims of domestic violence; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of Crescent City do hereby proclaim the month of October, 2025 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and urge that we rededicate ourselves to upholding the basic human right to be free from violence and abuse.

Proclamation
of the
City of Crescent City
WHEREAS, bullying is physical, verbal, sexual or emotional intimidation or harm intentionally directed at a person or group of people and occurs in neighborhoods, playgrounds, schools, on the job and through technology, and
WHEREAS, research indicates that bullying is the most common form of violence, annually affecting thousands of California children and adolescents; and WHEREAS, targets of bullying are more likely to acquire physical, emotional, and learning problems and
WHEREAS, children who bully are at greater risk of engaging in more serious violent behaviors while children who witness bullying often feel less secure, more fearful, and intimidated.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Crescent City hereby proclaims the month of October, 2025 as

BULLY PREVENTION MONTH
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Crescent City encourage all schools, students, parents, recreational programs, religious institutions and community businesses and organizations become engaged in a variety of awareness and prevention activities designed to make our communities safe for all children, adolescents and adults. Start with supporting a friend who is getting bullied to move from being a bystander to becoming an upstander when they witness someone being bullied.

• Receive public comment
• Council discussion and direction regarding Council Member stipends City Attorney Rice reported to the Council a background of the stipends and that the last time it was discussed was in 2009. The new maximum stipend set by the State is $950. She went over what City Council Members in Humboldt receive for stipends. The Council that last approved the stipend said it would be after the next election and states that the Council can make that same decision. Council Member Tinkler appreciated seeing the comparable amounts from other areas; is hesitant due to the needs of the City’s infrastructure. Council Member Greenough concurred with Council Member Tinkler. Mayor Altman stated his reason for this discussion was because he wanted to know the history and he is also concerned that no one has been running against current Council Members and would like to see more of an incentive for citizens to be more involved and has something that keeps up with inflation. This should also be for after the election so it would not benefit the sitting Council. Mayor Pro Tem Wright stated that the current Council stipend is very close to our neighbors in the south. Council Member Tinkler stated she would like for more public involvement and would like tools to encourage people to run for a seat on the City Council.

The Council was in consensus to drop the topic.

There were no comments from the public.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR ALTMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2025
SUBJECT: BUDGET-TO-ACTUAL SUMMARY AS OF AUGUST 31, 2025 ______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file budget-to-actual summary of the City’s major operating funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26 as of August 31, 2025

BACKGROUND
In order to provide timely information to the City Council and to the public, the City’s Finance Department has prepared the attached budget-to-actual reports. These reports provide a summary as of August 31, 2025 of the fiscal year-to-date revenues and expenses of the City’s major operating funds: General Fund, Housing Authority Fund, RV Park Fund, Sewer Fund and Water Fund.

ITEM ANALYSIS
Finance Department staff is currently working to close the books for FY 2024-25, which ended June 30, 2025. During this process, many of the revenues and invoices received in July and August are accrued back to the prior fiscal year, resulting in July and August activity for the current year appearing very low. The data in the attached reports may change as the year-end process is finalized. Final results for FY 2024-25 will be presented to the Council later this year.

As of August 31, 2025, we are 17% through the fiscal year, with 83% of the year remaining. If revenues were received and expenditures made evenly throughout the year, there would be 83% of each budget line remaining. However, revenues and expenditures are not even throughout the year for many reasons. Many revenues are not received evenly throughout the year (particularly tax revenues and grant reimbursements), most expenses are not recorded until the invoice is received in the following month, and budgets may include large projects that have not yet been completed. In addition, the BUDGET TO ACTUAL SUMMARY AS OF AUGUST 31, 2025
OCTOBER 6, 2025
2 Finance Department is currently working on closing the books for the fiscal year just ended, resulting in current year activity appearing low.

This report summarizes the actual revenues and expenditures for the year to date; additional information is provided in the budget-to-actual reports attached. • General Fund
General Fund revenues show that 98% of the budgeted amount is yet to be received. This is dependent on the timing of when certain revenues are received.

For example, most taxes, third party billings, and grant reimbursements are recorded quarterly. In addition, many revenues received in July and August 2025 are accrued back to Fiscal Year 2024-25. General Fund actual expenditures show that 89% of the budgeted amount is yet to be expended. For comparison, as of August last year, revenues were 98% remaining and expenditures were 86% remaining.
• Housing Authority Fund
The Housing Authority is funded by monthly disbursements from the federal government. At this point, actual revenues show 84% remaining to be received and actual expenditures have remaining amounts of 84%. For comparison, as of August last year, revenues were 84% remaining and expenditures were 84% remaining.
• RV Park Fund
Revenues collected by the Recreational Vehicle Park (RV Park) show 66% of operating revenues are remaining to be collected. RV Park revenues are highly seasonal, and most rental revenues are typically received in the summer months.

Operating expenses in the RV Park show 85% of the budget left to be expended.

For comparison, as of August last year, operating revenues were 69% remaining and operating expenses were 84% remaining.
• Sewer Fund
The Sewer Fund earns revenue primarily from charges to the users of its services.

Actual revenues show 84% of the total operating revenue budget remaining to be collected. Operational expenses (not including debt service or capital improvements) show 90% of the budget remaining to be expended. For comparison, as of August last year, operating revenues were 85% remaining and operating expenses were 87% remaining.
• Water Fund

______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2025-45, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY

BACKGROUND
The City of Crescent City and the Del Norte County Flood Control District on behalf of subzone W-1 (Meadowbrook) entered into a water service agreement on July 13, 1970 for a term of 60 years. Per this agreement, the City has taken over management, control and maintenance of the water system with the exception that Meadowbrook is still responsible for the integrity of the system and for major repairs at their expense. The City maintains the meters, service lines, mains and appurtenances up to 10% of that year’s water revenue. Extension of main lines may only be installed under the authority of the Board of Directors of Meadowbrook. With the elimination of the Flood Control District, Del Norte County Engineering has taken over complete management of the Meadowbrook District, with the maintenance contract still under the control of the City.

The City’s water system was initially constructed in 1958. Over the years the system has been expanded upon. A water system master plan was completed in 1992.

Staff issued a short format RFQ on July 24, 2019 for the development of a water system model to inform staff on decisions about replacement of pumps at the Ranney pumping station and other capital upgrades to the water system. Stover Engineering, in conjunction with Kennedy/Jenks, was selected as the most qualified to complete the requested services. On January 28, 2020, the City and Stover Engineering executed Tast Order 6 to build a steady state water model of the City water system working under Time and Materials not to exceed $50,000. The technical memorandum of the Water Distribution Modeling Hydraulic Analysis was published on June 11, 2021. Recommendations from this study included ensuring means of adequate system pressure to local service MEADOWBROOK PUMP ANALYSIS – STOVER TASK ORDER 5
OCTOBER 6, 2025
2 connections, conducting a surge analysis, and pump replacement in-kind at the Ranney collector. Due to the limitations of a “static” analysis TO 6 was amended to expand the scope to include a “dynamic” hydraulic analysis
Task Order 6 Amendment 1 to the Water System Evaluation/Model was executed between the City and Stover Engineering on July 21, 2020 on the basis of Time and Materials and an additional not to exceed $98,000 to expand the scope of the water model to an all-pipe hydraulic model. The resulting Existing Water Distribution System Evaluation Report was published in October 2022 and recommended eight projects.

Project #3, recommended an overhaul and reinstatement of the abandoned in place 125hp pump located at Booster Station #1 at the intersection of Wonder Stump Road and Elk Valley Cross Road. The design intent of this recommendation was to meet fire flows in the Meadowbrook neighborhood which the 25hp pump proved insufficient to accommodate.

Water report TO6a2 Water System Evaluation/Model T&M allocated an additional not to exceed $35,500 on February 16, 2021 for a surge model analysis of City water system.

This study led to the development of the surge tank currently being installed at the Ranney Collector.

Staff issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) on February 15, 2022 for Engineering, Planning, Environmental, Architectural & Related Support Services to assist the City in development and completion of essential Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and other tasks. Council approved contracts with twelve engineering, planning, architectural, and engineering support teams to assist with capital improvement projects, special projects, and projects to implement new and existing regulatory requirements.

The City and Stover Engineering entered into a professional services agreement on May 26, 2022 to provide engineering services per subsequent task orders. Stover provided Task Order 5 under the 2022 agreement on September 29, 2025 date with a 2025 rate sheet. Stover in conjunction with Kennedy-Jenks was chosen for their capability and capacity to perform modifications to the City’s water distribution model.

The 25hp pump at Booster Station #1 failed on November 8, 2024.

MEADOWBROOK PUMP ANALYSIS – STOVER TASK ORDER 5
OCTOBER 6, 2025
3 ITEM ANALYSIS
The 25hp pump located at Booster Station #1 operated from 6:30am to 10:00pm with a pressure setpoint to maintain 53.5psi measured at the Parkway Pressure Transducer.

Between 10:00pm and 6:30am, the Meadowbrook system pressure is sustained by the Ranney pump station and pressure regulated by the water level in the elevated tank.

While the 25hp pump is off during the night hours, the dynamic water model predicted 35psi at four locations in the Meadowbrook water district as well as a lack of volumetric flow to meet 1,500gpm fire flow and recommended use of the 125hp pump at Booster Station #1 to meet fire demand.

The 125hp pump at Booster Station #1 was originally used to provide high flow to the City through a 10” water main along Railroad Avenue when that pipe was the only conduit.

The City has since added a 24” redundant water main on Lake Earl Drive to supply the City’s volumetric flow needs making the 125hp pump at Booster Station #1 unnecessary.

A second engineering opinion regarding the rehabilitation and reinstatement of the 125hp pump pointed out that the water service customers along Elk Valley Cross Road would require pressure reducing valves while the 125hp pump is operating to prevent damage to their equipment (boilers, hot water heaters, pipes, etc.).

For this reason, the City approached Stover for Task Order 5 (TO 5) to design the “rightsized” pump to replace the 25hp pump so that it meets their pressure and fire flow demands. TO 5 will screen the following 5 alternatives to address the immediate needs for correcting the Meadowbrook water supply and to propose future projects which will be appended into the Water Master Plan.

1. Increasing the size of transmission mains on Elk Valley Cross Road

2. Replacement of Church Tree tank (currently 30,000 gallons) and replumb the network to backfeed Meadowbrook

3. Specify the “right-sized” pump to replace the 25hp and 125hp pumps at Booster Station #1

4. Adding dedicated storage to the Meadowbrook Service area

5. Installation of a dedicated fire pump at Booster Station #1 TO 5 will also encompass data collection/review, hydraulic modeling, cost estimates and a final Preliminary Engineering Report.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
TO 5 proposed a time and materials not to exceed budget of $52,261. Del Norte County has agreed to split the costs of this engineering report as the majority of the customers beyond the booster pump are within their controlled Meadowbrook District. This project already had an approved $10,000 allocation from the City Council in the FY 25-26 budget.

TO 5 will result in an additional cost to the City’s water fund of $42,261. The attached resolution accounts for $26,130.50 in revenue from Del Norte County and additional net expenses of $16,130.50 in the City’s Water Fund.

Task Order 5 to Master Agreement
CLIENT: City of Crescent City
AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DATE: May 16, 2022
STOVER JOB NUMBER: 4852.05 – Meadowbrook Water Project Engineering Report SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED:

The City of Crescent City (City) currently supplies water to the Meadowbrook CSD Service Area (Meadowbrook) located to the southeast of the intersection of Hwy 101 and Hwy 199 via Booster Station #1 (see Figure 1). Stover Engineering (Consultant), in association with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, Inc. (KJ), provided the City with a Water Distribution System Evaluation Report in 2022 which identified fire flow deficiencies in Meadowbrook. As part of KJ’s 2022 Report, the City’s water distribution system hydraulic model was updated and calibrated based on 2018 billing data. The City is now requesting a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) to evaluate potential infrastructure solutions to the fire flow capacity issue using the updated hydraulic model.

Booster Station #1 contains two horizontal split case centrifugal pumps. The primary duty pump is a 20 horsepower (HP) pump that serves Meadowbrook’s domestic water demands during the day. This pump has recently failed and the City must replace it. The second pump is a 150 HP pump that is currently inactive and its status and condition are unknown. At nighttime, the Meadowbrook duty pump shuts off and Meadowbrook demands are met by the City’s main pressure zone through a check valve connected to the City’s 10-inch transmission main off of Railroad Avenue. Meadowbrook has no dedicated zone storage.

Task Order 5

• Required fire flow/residual system pressure (1,500 gpm @ 20 psi will be assumed unless otherwise noted).
• Photos of Booster Station #1 interior, including pump nameplates, interior of motor control center (MCC) panels, programmable logic controller (PLC), breakers, switchboards, and any instrumentation, including control valves and pressure/flow transmitters/transducers. Stover Engineering staff will conduct a site visit with City staff to obtain photos and understand operations to convey to KJ.
• Other relevant documents.

Consultant will identify and report information gaps to the City.

2.2 Preliminary Alternatives Screening
Consultant will develop project descriptions for five potential infrastructure alternatives to include in the PER to address providing needed fire flow. These alternatives will consist of the following:

1. Increasing the size of transmission mains (primarily on Elk Valley Cross Road).

2. Replace Churchtree Tank and replumb the the network to back-feed Meadowbrook and the rest of the system to support fire flow..

3. Alternate pump and controls for Booster Station #1. Prioritize Booster #1 pump replacement for alternatives screening.

Task Order 5
4 of 5

4. Adding dedicated storage to the Meadowbrook Service Area.

5. Installation of dedicated fire pump at Booster Station #1.

Consultant will review the potential alternatives with the City during the Preliminary Alternatives Screening meeting to discuss potential fatal flaws. Two alternatives will be selected from the initial list of five to receive further detailed evaluation in the subsequent tasks.

2.3 Hydraulic Modeling
Consultant will use the City’s previously calibrated hydraulic model to evaluate the two infrastructure alternatives selected in Task 2.2. Consultant will compare the results of each alternative evaluation with the system’s existing fire flow capacity to determine which alternative best helps Meadowbrook meet the fire flow and residual system pressure requirements. Consultant will work with the City to confirm the existing system fire flow controls for the analyses (status of Washington/Amador pumps, etc.).

Consultant will also use the calibrated hydraulic model to select a new duty pump to replace the existing failed pump.

2.4 Develop Cost Estimates
Consultant will develop AACE Class 5 Opinion of Probable Construction Costs (OPCCs) for up to two alternatives. Anticipated annual O&M costs and an anticipated lifecycle cost, represented as net present value, will also be determined.

Task 2 Assumptions:
• The City will provide all requested data. Site visits for Kennedy Jenks staff are not included in this scope of work, however Stover Engineering will conduct site visits as needed. • Consutlant will use the existing maximum day demand (MDD) scenario in the calibrated model developed as part of the Water Distribution System Evaluation Report completed in 2022. • No additional field testing or model calibration will be performed as part of this scope of work. • All fire flow model runs will be steady-state.
• All normal duty conditions for selection of the duty pump will be steady-state.

Task 2 Deliverables:
• Data request in electronic (PDF) format.
• Description of potential infrastructure alternatives for fatal flaw analysis in electronic (PDF) format.

Task 3 Preliminary Engineering Report
Consultant will prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) summarizing the findings of the alternatives screening analysis, hydraulic evaluation, and cost estimating tasks. The PER will be provided to the City for review and comment. Consultant will address comments received from the City and will issue a final PER.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR ALTMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2025
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO AGREEMENT FOR OPERATIONS,

MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR WASTEWATER

TREATMENT PLANT WITH OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

INTERNATIONAL, INC (JACOBS)
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from Council
• Receive public comment
• Further council discussion
• Approve Amendment No. 9 to Agreement for Operations, Maintenance and Management Services for Wastewater Treatment Plan with Operations Management International, Inc. (Jacobs)

BACKGROUND
The City of Crescent City owns, operates, and maintains the Wastewater Treatment Plant, a Water Quality Laboratory, and related facilities. The Wastewater Treatment Plant has a design capacity of 1.86 million gallons per day (MGD) average dry weather flow with a permitted ocean discharge. ). The WWTP is classified as a Class IV facility because it includes tertiary treatment and is operated under a NPDES Permit administered through the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board.

In 2019, the City signed a contract with Operations Management International, Inc. (also known as Jacobs Engineering) to perform operations, maintenance and management for the City’s wastewater treatment plant. The base fee is increased each year according to a predetermined formula set forth in original agreement.

ITEM ANALYSIS
Amendment No. 9 makes the following changes to the current agreement:

JACOBS AMENDMENT NO. 9
October 6, 2025
2 1. Term: adjusted through June 30, 2030 to recognize the automatic 5-year renewal clause within the original agreement

2. Base Fee: increased to $1,597,785.83 for FY 25-26

3. Repairs Budget: $176,000

4. Chemicals Budget: $128,680

5. Base Fee Adjustment Factor Formula: remove 2% kicker, update ECI to ECIPacific; minimum increase up to 2% and maximum increase up to 5% - specifically:

Former: [((ECI).50 + (CPI).50))] + 1.02
ECI = Employment Cost Index for Total Comp for Civilian Workers CPI = Consumer Price Index for Water and Sewer Trash Collection Services New: [((ECI).5 + (CPI).5))] + 1.00
ECI = Employment Cost Index for Total Comp for Pacific Civilian Workers CPI = Consumer Price Index for Water and Sewer Trash Collection Services The repairs budget and the chemicals budget are rebateable, meaning that if Jacobs spends less than the budget, the City gets a credit. If Jacobs spends more than the budget, the City must pay the overage.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The fiscal impact of Amendment No. 9 is an increase in the base fee of $149,148.83 or

10.3% over FY 24-25. This increase is due to a combination of the annual escalation formula and an adjustment to account for the increase in electricity rates. The escalation factor is 4.6% equating to $68,085.10 and the increase for electricity is $59,616.00.

STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT
This report is consistent with the following Strategic Plan Goals:
• Goal 2: Support Quality Services, Community Safety, and Health to Enhance the Quality of Life and Experience of Our Residents and Visitors o D: Provide and maintain an efficient, adequate infrastructure to provide for both current and future community needs
• Goal 3: Obtain the Highest Levels of Organizational Excellence o B: Maintain responsible fiscal management and accountability

Jacobs and the City have agreed to update the escalation formula with the following changes:
- Previously, Jacobs applied a fixed adjustment factor (“+1.02”) which considered that neither ECI or CPI are directly and solely correlated to the services Jacobs provides and provided Jacobs protection from inflation that may not be accounted for in those indices. Jacobs has agreed to remove that adjustment factor in this contract in exchange for adjustment of the base fee increase range. The previous range was defined as “not less than 1.5% or more than 4%.” The updated range is defined as “not less than 2% or more than 5%.”

DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2025
SUBJECT: VOTING DELEGATE DESIGNATION FOR THE LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES 2025 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Appoint Council Member Greenough to represent the City at the 2025 League of California Cities Annual Conference.

BACKGROUND/ITEM ANALYSIS
Every year, the League of California Cities hosts the Annual Conference and during this conference, the League usually presents their Resolutions Packet. These resolutions are given to cities throughout California for their Council to review and take a position, so the voting delegate can represent the City’s position at the conference. However, this year no resolutions were submitted to the League of California Cities for approval by the deadline. Because resolutions can be introduced by members onsite and will be heard by the delegates during the General Assembly, the City will need to appoint a delegate. This year, Council Member Greenough is the only Council Member attending the conference.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

DATE: Wednesday, July 16, 2025
TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 8, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 9, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 10, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

PROJECT EXPENDITURES TO BE REIMBURSED BY FUNDS PROVIDED

BY THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD

BACKGROUND
The Crescent City Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) serves a disadvantaged community (DAC) and has struggled to meet the financial commitments of the SRF loan for a major plant renovation which was completed in 2011. Although the City was successful in completing a Proposition 218 process to address revenue deficiency with rates, a ballot referendum (Measure Q) rejected the proposed rate increases in November 2016. An updated financial pro forma analysis completed in 2018 indicated the Sewer Fund would deplete all reserves and go negative by fiscal year 2023-24 if budgeted operating costs and revenue remained unchanged. Over the past years the City has worked closely with the State Water Board Division of Financial Assistance, and Regional

WWTP RBC CAPITAL UPGRADE & BIOSOLIDS/DIGESTER OPTIMIZATION PROJECT OCTOBER 6, 2025
2 Water Quality Board to develop a strategic plan to address this shortfall. Key elements of the plan include the following:
• Revenue – Increase revenue through addition of new customers and reduction in facility variable and fixed operating costs using Prop 1 and other grant processes.
• Relief – Seek relief of debt principal. The City has tried this approach and was unsuccessful in obtaining debt relief.
• Restructure – Restructuring debt to increase the period or restructure how the SRF loan is amortized. Staff has worked with the SWRCB over the past several years on this element. Great strides have been accomplished including extending the loan period from 20 to 30 years, reducing the interest rate from

2.4% to 0%, and financially shaping the loan amortization. These actions will save this community more than 14 million dollars over the life of the loan. • Rates – Continue to analyze rates to ensure an equitable rate structure and sustainable utility.
• Operations - Optimizing operations and stabilizing plant staffing by engaging Jacobs Engineering in 2019 as our WWTP operations team. • Grant funding – the City has actively been seeking grant funding for capital improvements.

In 2019, the City signed a contract with Operations Management International, Inc. (Jacobs) to perform operations, maintenance and management for the City’s wastewater treatment plant.

The California Regional Water Quality Control Board North Coast Region (NCRWQCB) Technical Assistance Grant was awarded to the City of Crescent City and presented to City Council for acceptance on May 17, 2021. The City Council approved Resolution No. 2021-29 authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract and approved Resolution No. 2021-30 adjusting the budget for the grant acceptance.

On June 2, 2021, the NCRWQCB fully executed and awarded a 100% forgivable loan to the City of Crescent City in the sum of $393,405. The grant that the City obtained only covered Phase 1 of the project development to take the project through preliminary design.

On April 18, 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Amendment 4 with Jacobs in the amount of $370,002 for phase 1 of the design project to optimize the Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC) and Digesters. These projects would be designed with a goal to optimize operations, decrease major maintenance, and increase efficiencies.

On December 12, 2023, the NCRWQCB issued Order No. R1-2023-0039 which lowered allowable limits related to enterococci and total coliform that apply to the discharge of treated wastewater from the facility.

On December 14, 2023, the City submitted the Final draft of the Project Report to the NCRWQCB outlining necessary facility improvements to meet previous Waste Discharge

WWTP RBC CAPITAL UPGRADE & BIOSOLIDS/DIGESTER OPTIMIZATION PROJECT OCTOBER 6, 2025
3 Requirements (WDR) of the R1-2017-0002. These included rehabilitation of the primary clarifiers; replacement of the RBCs; adding digester feed storage tanks to stabilize flow; rehabilitation, upsizing and added redundancy to the digesters; and various other repairs to other buildings and equipment.

On April 8, 2024, the City Council adopted and approved Resolution No. 2024-22 and authorized the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 1 to Agreement SWRCB-D2001037.

The agreement was fully executed on April 10, 2024, increasing the funding from $393,405 to $951,243 and extending the project timing for a work completion date of August 31, 2025. On the same date the City Council adopted and approved Resolution No. 2024-23, adjusting the budget for grant acceptance.

On September 16, 2024, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Amendment 7 with Jacobs in the amount of $951,243 which nullified the previous Amendment 4, eliminated the MBR replacement which had already been completed with sewer funds, added the plantwide review of the secondary fluid and solids handling processes, developed a raw wastewater influent sampling plan, performed onsite structural, corrosion, and process/mechanical inspections, completion of 30% plans and specifications and a cost estimate, added various miscellaneous improvements to the equipment and buildings, and project management.

During calendar year 2024, the City’s WWTP reported 29 violations of disinfection effluent limits indicating a consistent inability to comply with the enterococci and total coliform limits. The City has been able to demonstrate that during flows lower than 1 million gallons per day (MGD) we are able to meet our discharge limits by running all the wastewater through the Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) equipment. During times of high flow (>1 MGD), the facility has to divert excess flow through the RBCs which are not able to meet the new R1-2023-0039 levels.

On June 6, 2025, the NCRWQCB issued Time Schedule Order (TSO) No. R1-2025-0015 temporarily setting the enterococci and total coliform limits back to R1-2017-0002 levels during periods of wastewater flow exceeding 1.1 MGD. The TSO also sets May 1, 2030 as the date to achieve full compliance with final effluent limitations and waives Mandatory Minimum Penalties (MMP) for the period of the TSO and within the allowable discharge limitations.

On August 21, 2025, the City Manager submitted a second Amendment request to the Division of Financial Assistance (DFA) to increase the scope, cost and timing of the project due to the aforementioned difficulties meeting the WPA effluent levels.

Amendment 2 will encompass improved secondary treatment giving the city WWTP the ability to meet R1-2023-0039 discharge limits with some resiliency against future limit reductions. Contingent upon NCRWQCB approval of the Amendment request, City staff will present a resolution for acceptance of Amendment 2 at a future meeting.

On August 26, 2025, the city received Administrative Civil Liability (ACL) Complaint No.

R1-2025-0034 covering the period from January 1, 2024 to August 1, 2025 (the period from the execution of WPA R1-2023-0039 until TSO R1-2025-0015) citing 76 chronic

WWTP RBC CAPITAL UPGRADE & BIOSOLIDS/DIGESTER OPTIMIZATION PROJECT OCTOBER 6, 2025
4 violations including chlorine and total residual effluent limitations including settleable solids, Ammonia, Nitrogen, enterococci, and total coliform for a MMP of $228,000.

After a thorough review of the Draft Project Report (dated 12/14/2023), it became clear that the proposed project would not contain sufficient technology to meet the new R1- 2023-0039 effluent levels, nor would it grant resiliency for the City against future effluent level reductions. Within the scope of NCRWQCB Amendment 1 and Jacobs Amendment 7, Jacobs has prepared a Final Project Report for City Council review prior to adoption at the regularly scheduled October 6, 2025 City Council meeting. The Final Project Report (2025) recommends a comprehensive package of improvements to restore compliance, address aging infrastructure, and provide operational resiliency. The recommended improvements are listed under section “Item Analysis”.

ITEM ANALYSIS
The City of Crescent City Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) received a Time Schedule Order R1-2025-0015, which was adopted June 6, 2025, to provide time schedules to comply with the new effluent limitations for enterococci and total coliform bacteria, established under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Order Number (No.) R1-2023-0039 (Permit) adopted on December 12, 2023.

Historically, the WWTP demonstrated consistent compliance with bacterial indicator requirements. From 2020 to 2023, during the term of Order No. R1-2017-0002, 19 exceedances were reported on bacterial indicators, an average of six violations per year.

With the new NPDES Permit (Order No. R1-2023-0039), in 2024, the plant has already reported 41 bacterial violations, including: 21 enterococci, 18 total coliform, and 2 fecal coliform. Most of these occurred during wet weather flows when the aging rotating biological contactor (RBC) trains have to be brought online and solids removal efficiency is reduced.

Site visits were conducted to observe the condition of the City WWTP and collect and assess further information required to develop recommended improvements to comply with the new Permit requirements. In general, the major unit processes (primary clarifiers, rotating biological contactors, and digesters) are past their expected useful life and in need of major repair and rehabilitation, described as follows, to maintain continuous ongoing service in accordance with the City’s Permit:
▪ Primary Clarifiers: Originally installed in 1973. Recommended improvements included concrete repair and resurfacing, baffle addition, and replacement of woodframed structures and clarifier mechanisms. ▪ Replace RBCs with attached growth media process: RBC system was originally installed in 1979, has exceeded its typical useful life expectancy of 20 years, and does not provide sufficient treatment to meet existing NPDES permit requirements. The RBCs will be replaced with an attached growth biological process within the RBC structure.
▪ Retrofit Secondary Clarifiers: All three secondary clarifiers will have existing drain valves replaced and converted to the following within each clarifier: (1) 1-million-gallonper-day membrane bioreactor (MBR) system, (2) cloth filtration system to treat flows

WWTP RBC CAPITAL UPGRADE & BIOSOLIDS/DIGESTER OPTIMIZATION PROJECT OCTOBER 6, 2025
5 after the attached growth media process; and (3) waste-activated sludge storage and digested sludge storage facility. The improvements are recommended within the existing basins because of space constraints and tsunami code requirements. ▪ Gravity Thickener: Rehabilitate the gravity thickener to extend the useful life of the thickener.
▪ Anaerobic Digesters: Originally installed in the 1950s and 1979. Several key features and pieces of equipment are failing or inadequate. For example, the floating covers of both digesters have severe corrosion, with the oldest digester cover having material failure where gas can freely escape. The boiler that provides heating for the digesters is at the end of its expected life and is difficult to maintain and keep operational. No redundant boiler is available. Because of these and other inadequacies, the solids retention time of the digestion system is low, resulting in poor performance and low solids reduction. Operations staff report that the digester has had severe foaming issues in the past, which is likely caused by overloading the single operating digester.1 The selected project will include major upgrades to allow both digesters to be operated in parallel, each with fixed covers and redundant boiler capacity. These improvements will increase retention time and promote more stable digestion performance. ▪ Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling Improvements: MBR and dewatering buildings require improvements to the existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to continue to support the equipment housed in the buildings.

Table 1 presents the proposed milestones and timelines required for the project implementation. Section 5 describes conditions and limitations to this schedule. Figure 1 shows the proposed site plan and list of recommended improvements. 1 Currently, the secondary digester allows gas to freely escape because of corrosion and is not functioning as a digester.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Adoption of the Final Project Report does not have any financial impact but is necessary to meet the requirements for grant funding to improve the WWTP to become compliant with current and future permit regulations. Non-compliance with permit regulation results in Mandatory Minimum Penalties (MMPs) and potentially ACLs that would result in fines and lawsuits that the City would need to pay for not complying with NCRWQCB water quality requirements.

The adoption of the Final Project Report is a critical step toward completing the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Construction Financial Assistance Application.

The resolution delegating signature authority to the City Manager is required by the State Water Board in order to submit the financial package of the CWSRF application. Based on the 2025-26 CWSRF Intended Use Plan, the City could be eligible to receive up to $50 million dollars in grant funding and qualify for low interest loans if the project exceeds the grant cap. The City is eligible because the 2025-26 IUP prioritizes communities who are requesting funding to improve wastewater facilities to address violations specifically for disadvantaged communities.

Future fiscal impacts will depend on grant and loan terms secured through the CWSRF Program.

An opinion of probable construction cost was prepared for the selected project.

Executive Summary
The City of Crescent City Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) received a Time Schedule Order R1-2025-0015, which was adopted June 6, 2025, to provide time schedules to comply with the new effluent limitations for enterococci and total coliform bacteria, established under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Order Number (No.) R1-2023-0039 (Permit) adopted on December 12, 2023.

Historically, the WWTF demonstrated consistent compliance with bacterial indicator requirements. From 2020 to 2023, during the term of Order No. R1-2017-0002, 19 exceedances were reported on bacterial indicators, an average of six violations per year. With the new NPDES Permit (Order No. R1-2023-0039), in 2024, the plant has already reported 41 bacterial violations, including: 21 enterococci, 18 total coliform, and 2 fecal coliform. Most of these occurred during wet weather flows when the aging rotating biological contactor (RBC) trains have to be brought online and solids removal efficiency is reduced.

Site visits were conducted to observe the condition of the City WWTF and collect and assess further information required to develop recommended improvements to comply with the new Permit requirements. In general, the major unit processes (primary clarifiers, rotating biological contactors, and digesters) are past their expected useful life and in need of major repair and rehabilitation, described as follows, to maintain continuous ongoing service in accordance with the City’s Permit:
 Primary Clarifiers: Originally installed in 1973. Recommended improvements included concrete repair and resurfacing, baffle addition, and replacement of wood-framed structures and clarifier mechanisms.  Replace RBCs with attached growth media process: RBC system was originally installed in 1979, has exceeded its typical useful life expectancy of 20 years, and does not provide sufficient treatment to meet existing NPDES permit requirements. The RBCs will be replaced with an attached growth biological process within the RBC structure.
 Retrofit Secondary Clarifiers: All three secondary clarifiers will have existing drain valves replaced and converted to the following within each clarifier: (1) 1-million-gallon-per-day membrane bioreactor (MBR) system, (2) cloth filtration system to treat flows after the attached growth media process; and (3) waste-activated sludge storage and digested sludge storage facility. The improvements are recommended within the existing basins because of space constraints and tsunami code requirements.  Gravity Thickener: Rehabilitate the gravity thickener to extend the useful life of the thickener.  Anaerobic Digesters: Originally installed in the 1950s and 1979. Several key features and pieces of equipment are failing or inadequate. For example, the floating covers of both digesters have severe corrosion, with the oldest digester cover having material failure where gas can freely escape. The boiler that provides heating for the digesters is at the end of its expected life and is difficult to maintain and keep operational. No redundant boiler is available. Because of these and other inadequacies, the solids retention time of the digestion system is low, resulting in poor performance and low solids reduction.

Operations staff report that the digester has had severe foaming issues in the past, which is likely caused by overloading the single operating digester.1 The selected project will include major upgrades to allow both digesters to be operated in parallel, each with fixed covers and redundant boiler capacity.

These improvements will increase retention time and promote more stable digestion performance. 1 Currently, the secondary digester allows gas to freely escape because of corrosion and is not functioning as a digester.

 Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling Improvements: MBR and dewatering buildings require improvements to the existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to continue to support the equipment housed in the buildings.

1. Background and Project Area
The City of Crescent City (City) owns the Crescent City Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), which was constructed in the early 1950s. The WWTF has undergone several improvements and modifications and needs rehabilitation to maintain ongoing operations and continuous regulatory compliance. The City is required to comply with waste discharge requirements under the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (Order Number [No.] R1-2023-0039). The WWTF permitted average dry-weather flow (ADWF) and peak day wet weather flow capacity is 1.86 million gallon(s) per day (MGD) and 6.12 MGD, respectively. The WWTF discharges tertiary treated effluent into the Pacific Ocean through an outfall.

On June 6, 2025, the City received a Time Schedule Order (TSO) (R1-2025-0015), which provides the City a 5-year compliance schedule to bring the WWTF into full compliance with the effluent limitations contained in the NPDES permit. The TSO provides interim effluent limitations for enterococci and total coliform bacteria when flows exceed the capacity of the membrane bioreactor (MBR) system.

The proposed improvements under this project are intended to address the bacterial indicator violations that triggered the TSO and achieve compliance with the City’s current NPDES permit. These improvements are designed to enhance disinfection reliability during high-flow events, reduce reliance on aging secondary treatment units, and design a WWTF that can consistently meet effluent limits under all flow conditions.

To support implementation, the City is pursuing Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) grant funding with principal forgiveness, administered through the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Financial Assistance. According to the 2025 to 2026 Intended Use Plan, the WWTF qualifies as serving a disadvantaged community, and the project is eligible for grant funding based on its primary purpose of correcting ongoing permit violations.

1.1 Vicinity and Service Area
The City is on the Northern California coast, 15 miles south of the Oregon border in Del Norte County as shown on Figure 1-1. Figure 1-2 presents the WWTF and its associated service area. The service area includes the City limits and the surrounding Del Norte County Service Area (CSA). The CSA consists of the following two subareas:
 CSA District #1: Bertsch Ocean View Area to the east
 CSA District #2: Northeast area (North of the City)

1.1.1 Relevant Hydrological, Geologic, and Topographic Features The service area is on the Smith River Plain bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the base of the Coast Mountain Range to the east. The topography within 2 miles of the City is essentially flat and slopes gently south toward the harbor and east toward Elk Creek. The City has a maximum elevation change of 66 feet and an average elevation above sea level of 19 feet. The area within 2 miles of the City is covered by herbaceous vegetation (35%), water (34%), and artificial surfaces (24%).

1.1.2 Existing Collection and Treatment Facilities
The City and CSA maintain separate sanitary sewer collection systems within the service area. Flows generated within the CSA are collected and conveyed to the City’s collection system. The City system then conveys combined City and County-generated flows to the WWTF for subsequent treatment and disposal.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 1-2
The collection system has 16 lift stations with the CSA service area and six lift stations within the City limits (Figure 1-1). In 2023, the City solicited third-party services to conduct closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections of 286 of 443 maintenance holes and 93,883 of 133,000 linear feet of gravity sewer lines within the City service area to evaluate the condition of the collection system. All the City maintenance holes and sewer lines were evaluated according to the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program grading system. There is a significant rain dependent inflow and infiltration (RDII) problem that is causing the WWTF to violate the City’s NPDES permit when flows exceed the ADWF capacity of the existing MBR facility.

The existing WWTF’s liquid treatment system consists of a headworks, primary clarifiers, an RBC with secondary clarifiers, an MBR operated in parallel, and chlorine disinfection. Part of the MBR effluent is disinfected with ultraviolet (UV) disinfection to provide disinfected tertiary recycled water. The rest of the effluent is discharged to the Pacific Ocean through an ocean outfall. The solids treatment system consists of a gravity thickener (GT) for primary and secondary sludge, a rotary drum thickener (RDT) for waste-activated sludge (WAS), two anaerobic digesters operated in series, and belt filter press (BFP) for sludge dewatering. Digester gas generated in the anaerobic digestion process is used for digester heating boilers, and excess gas is being flared. Currently, one of the digesters is heated and mixed, and the second digester is operated as a sludge holding tank. The dewatered cake is hauled out for landfill. Section 2.1 presents the existing treatment facility’s unit processes.

1.3 Current System Users and Potential New Users
As described in the NPDES permit, the WWTF serves a residential population of approximately 15,372, with a small number of commercial and institutional users. As described in this section, the service area population has decreased since 2010.

1.4 Current Population and Population Trends
The 2022 to 2030 City of Crescent City Housing Element Update section on population growth shows that historically from 2010 to 2019, population in the City and the County has decreased over that period (HCD 2023).

The 2022 to 2030 Housing Element Update (HCD 2023) states that the State of California’s Department of Finance (DOF) provides population projections for the state and all counties through 2060. Long-term population projections for the City were not available. Figure 1-4 presents the City’s and County’s population data from 2010 to 2019. Figure 1-5 displays the DOF’s expected population growth for Del Norte County. The data on Figure 1-4 show a decline in population in both the City and County, and Figure 1-5 projections indicate a steady decline is set to continue in the overall population of the County.

The City’s population trends will likely mirror that of the County.

It should be noted that Figure 1-4 shows the City’s census population, which includes residents at the Pelican Bay State Prison.

Figure 1-4. 2022 to 2030 City of Crescent City Housing Element Update – 2010 to 2019 Population Growth
Source: HCD 2023
Since 2010, the City’s population has been in decline. From 2010 to 2015, the City experienced a 7.2% decrease in population, as shown on Figure 1-4, and an annual growth rate of negative 1.45%. Similarly, Del Norte County’s population between 2010 and 2015 experienced a negative 2.4% change, as shown on Figure 1-4. From 2015 to 2019, the City experienced a 6.2% decrease in population and an annual growth rate of negative 1.56%, while the County experienced a 1.1% decrease in population. The 2020 Census (ACD 2020 recorded the City’s population at 6,673. From 2019 to 2020, the City’s growth rate was negative 0.04%. The DOF anticipates an annual growth rate in the County of negative 0.14% between 2020 and 2060 (HCD 2023), marginally similar to the growth rate experienced between 2019 and 2020 in the City. Based on the growth rate experienced between 2019 and 2020 in the City and DOF’s projected annual growth rate of the County, the City can be expected to maintain a stable population for the duration of the current planning period. The projected growth of the City is still within the population projections threshold established in the 2001 General Plan (CCC 2001).

The same section in the City’s updated housing element also foresees future population growth in the County to decrease from 2020 to 2060 (HCD 2023).

Figure 1-5. 2022 to 2030 City of Crescent City Housing Element Update – Population Projections Based on the 2022 to 2030 City of Crescent City Housing Element update (HCD 2023), the City does not anticipate growth in the County through 2060. The alternatives under evaluation are assuming that flows will not increase over the life of the project because of population growth. Therefore, the NPDES permit projected flows were used to project flows over time for the alternative analysis.

2. Existing Facilities, Wastewater Characteristics, and Current Effluent Water Quality
This section describes existing facilities, wastewater characteristics, and effluent water quality.

2.1 Description of Existing Treatment Facility
The WWTF treatment process is composed of physical, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods that combine to treat sewage from the incorporated Crescent City area. The influent raw waste is composed of primarily domestic sewage with some commercial contributions. The WWTF is permitted to treat and discharge an annual average daily flow of 1.86 MGD, with peak day flow of 6.12 MGD, that primarily discharges tertiary treated effluent through an ocean outfall.

The original treatment facility was constructed in the early 1950s and has since had many improvements, most notably in 2010. The original treatment facility consisted of a headworks, influent wet well, pump house, “Clarigester” (solids separator), and a gravity outfall. The first major upgrade occurred in 1973 and consisted of installing primary clarification, converting the Clarigester to an anaerobic digester, and constructing new disinfection and solids-handling facilities. The plant was expanded again in 1979 to provide secondary treatment, including additional raw wastewater pumps, RBCs, secondary clarifiers, new chlorine contact basin (CCB) and chlorination facilities, and a new digester. Since the 1979 expansion, additional improvements include the following:
 Installation of a third secondary clarifier in 1983
 Replacement of the comminutor with a bar screen and hydraulic improvements in 1991  Installation of new dewatering facility in 1983
 Addition of new chlorinators and sulfonators in 1996
 Addition of effluent pumps in 2002
 Replacement of the chlorinators with sodium hypochlorite and bisulfite disinfection facilities in 2003  Addition of a MBR system and buildings in 2010
 Installation of a new influent screen in 2014
 Sewer rehabilitation on B Street in 2016
 Treatment facility drainage improvements in 2020
 Sewer and storm drain improvements on Front and C Streets in 2020  Lift station supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) improvements in 2021 Figure 2-1 shows the current WWTF site plan, and Figure 2-2 shows the liquid and solids treatment process flow diagram.

The WWTF liquid treatment stream is composed of preliminary, primary, secondary, and disinfection treatment. The preliminary process is composed of screening and aerated grit removal, which are ultimately disposed of in a landfill. The primary treatment process removes particulate settleable solids by gravity and allows the soluble biodegradable liquid stream to flow through to the downstream processes.

The particulate settled solids are sent to the solids stream treatment process for further treatment.

The secondary treatment process is composed of two separate treatment streams, with one being an RBC and the other being an MBR process. The RBC effluent flow is sent to a secondary clarifier for gravity settling of solids, and the effluent is combined with the MBR permeate for downstream disinfection.

One goal of both secondary treatment processes is to convert the soluble readily biodegradable carbon or soluble biochemical oxygen demand (sBOD) to biological cells, which are ultimately removed in the solids treatment stream. The other goal in treatment is removal of nitrogen in the MBR process through anoxic and aerobic biological reactions. Disinfection of the combined secondary effluents are accomplished by dosing sodium hypochlorite to achieve a chlorine residual near 3 milligrams per liter (mg/L).

Dechlorination is then completed by adding sodium bisulfite after post chlorine contact chamber. The final effluent is then discharged to the ocean on the south side of Battery Point Lighthouse.

In the solid process stream, primary sludge is pumped into the GT. GT sludge is thickened and fed to the anaerobic digester. WAS, including the MBR wasting, is accomplished by pumping the WAS to the RDT.

The thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS) is then fed directly to the anaerobic digester. Digested sludge is dewatered using a BFP; BFP cake is then transported to the landfill.

The WWTF’s primary treatment system consists of two aerated grit removal tanks followed by two rectangular primary clarifiers. Primary sludge is pumped to the GT. Floatable scum and grease are mechanically skimmed and pumped to the GT.

Secondary treatment is provided by operating the RBC and MBR in parallel. The RBC system consists of three trains of four-stage RBCs with a combined surface area of 1.2 million square feet (ft2). Flow from the RBCs reach three rectangular secondary clarifiers, where the biological solids settle. The solids are drawn to hoppers at the inlet end of the tanks, where the solids are removed and pumped to the RDT with an option to be pumped to the GT.

The existing RBC facility has been experiencing recurring mechanical issues. As of March 2025, four of 12 RBC units were offline for mechanical issues, and the remaining RBC units are not up to the expected treatment performance, resulting in high suspended solids in the clarified effluent.

The MBR treatment system uses a similar population of bacteria and identical biochemical pathways to those found in other aerated biological processes to convert soluble and particulate biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Bacteria are concentrated and supplied with oxygen in the aeration basin. The bacteria consume BOD and convert it to carbon dioxide and water as they metabolize and reproduce.

2.2 Sources of Wastewater to the Facility
Wastewater flowing into the WWTF is predominantly domestic sources from the City and CSA, and the three following Significant Industrial Users contribute to the influent flows and constituent loading:
 Rumiano Cheese Company: The flow permit limit is 100,000 gallons per day. The site is sampled weekly for pH; monthly for BOD, total suspended solids (TSS), and settleable solids (SS); and annually for oil and grease and ammonia. The site is also inspected semiannually.  Seaquake Brewery: Discharges are inspected and sampled semiannually for several constituents.  Port O Pints Brewery: Discharges are inspected and sampled semiannually for several constituents.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 2-5

2.3 Sources of Industrial or Other Problem Constituents and Current Control Measures
The primary industrial contributors are Rumiano Cheese Company and Seaquake and Port O Pints Breweries. All three are monitored and inspected regularly and as part of the City’s Pretreatment Program.

The Pretreatment Coordinator maintains a database with information on each industrial sewer user.

The database stores all information regarding the users, including contacts, itemized discharges, pretreatment devices, and condition notes from inspections. The database also includes the pretreatment permits, sampling data, inspection reports, and any notices of violation or communication.

In September 2019, a local limits evaluation based on the approved workplan was performed. Pretreatment permits were updated accordingly based on the information learned in the local limits evaluation.

In 2020, the City performed a survey identifying additional sites with interceptor devices, which have been added to the fats, oils, and grease database. All businesses with interceptors are visited at least annually to verify they properly maintain interceptors. All visits are recorded in a database maintained by the Pretreatment Coordinator. New locations are now added yearly as the facility continues to learn about additional grease trap locations from the County and City.

In 2020, all active dental facilities discharging to the sewer system filled out the One-Time Compliance Report for Dental Discharges to comply with Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Part 441.50.

Five of the six active dental facilities were found to be subject to the dental amalgam rule and have installed mercury amalgam separators.

2.4 Information on Discharge Violations
The City WWTF received a TSO (Order No. R1-2025-0015), which was adopted June 6, 2025, to provide time schedules to comply with the new effluent limitations for enterococci and total coliform bacteria, established under the NPDES permit (Order No. R1-2023-0039) adopted on December 12, 2023.

Under the current NPDES permit term, the WWTF experienced permit limit exceedances for fecal coliform; total coliform; ammonia, 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), settleable solids; and total residual chlorine. Receiving water monitoring was accelerated when laboratory results came back with permit limit exceedances on enterococcus density. Typically, these exceedance results were during large storm events and returned to below limit values in follow-up sampling results. Table 2-1 summarizes these permit violations.

The current discharge permit requires 85% removal of BOD and 85% removal of TSS, and the current discharge permit limits effluent BOD and TSS to less than 30 mg/L monthly average. These permit requirements were met throughout the permit term.

Table 2-1 summarizes Crescent City WWTF’s reported effluent quality related violations in accordance with California Integrated Water Quality System Facility Identification 216106 for calendar years 2020 to 2025.

2.6 Wastewater Characteristics Profiling Through Treatment Process To supplement routine monitoring data and develop a whole-plant process model for the WWTF, special sampling was conducted in October 2022. This sampling campaign focused on capturing a comprehensive wastewater quality profile across liquid and solids treatment unit processes. It included key parameters, such as TSS, volatile suspended solids (VSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), soluble COD (sCOD), BOD₅, soluble BOD₅ (sBOD₅), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), ammonia (NH₃), total phosphorus (TP), and alkalinity.

For the solids stream, additional measurements included total solids (TS) and volatile solids (VS). These data were used to calibrate a whole-plant process model and evaluate performance across each major treatment step.

During the sampling period, one of the two anaerobic digesters was unexpectedly taken offline, causing the remaining digester to become overloaded. This imbalance led to significant foaming and a drop in VS reduction efficiency. As a result, filtrate from the BFP contained elevated concentrations of TSS and BOD, which were recycled back to the headworks, increasing the overall organic and solids load across the treatment plant above typical levels. While influent quality during the special sampling period appeared consistent with historical norms, the process conditions captured in the data may not fully reflect steady-state operation.

Figure 2-3 shows the sampling locations used during this campaign. Table 2-3 summarizes average liquid stream sampling results from each major treatment stage, while Table 2-4 presents corresponding results from the solids stream.

70.6 2.8 Past Efforts to Address Compliance and Operational Issues Through Collection System Improvements and Wastewater
Treatment Facility System
The City and CSA maintain separate sanitary sewer collection systems within the service area. Flows generated within the CSA are collected and conveyed to the City’s collection system. The City’s system then conveys combined City and County-generated flows to the WWTF.

Figure 2-4 demonstrates monthly influent flow variations from 2020 to 2024, and during the rainy season, which is typically from October to May of each year, influent flows increase significantly at the WWTF.

During intense storm events, RDII can stress the collection system. The collection system is susceptible to RDII, and thus, the City recently (2021) chose to have a contractor install a collection system pump station SCADA system and pump station control center elements to improve control and monitoring of the collection system.

In 2016, the City completed a sewer rehabilitation and replacement project on B Street.

In 2020, the City completed a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to replace the storm system and sewer pipeline infrastructure on C Street and a portion of Front Street.

In 2023, the City contracted third-party services to conduct inspections and CCTV of 286 of 443 maintenance holes and approximately 93,883 of 133,000 linear feet of gravity sewer lines to collect information on the condition of the collection system.

The City has an inflow and infiltration study programmed into their 2025 to 2030 CIP to allow them to use the CCTV and inspection data to help them identify and prioritize improvements that can be made to the collection system to reduce RDII flowing to the WWTF.

The City performs monthly preventive maintenance on known trouble spots throughout the collection system. The City’s Sanitary Sewer Management Plan is currently under review.

The City can comply with the new NPDES permit when flows do not exceed 1.1 MGD and use the secondary clarifiers for flow equalization when flows exceed that flow to reduce the likelihood of non-compliance from flows that only receive secondary treatment from the RBCs. As a result, the City can comply with the new permit with existing processes when ADWFs are received by the WWTF.

2.9 Current Asset, Operation and Maintenance Management Systems Operations Management International, Inc. initiated an asset management system improvement project when they began operation in September 2019. All existing assets have migrated to Maintenance Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 2-13
Connection, which has been used since to track and monitor asset preventive maintenance activities.

The first phase of the improvements was to replace the outdated workstations to have Windows 10 instead of Windows 7, which receives security and operational updates by Microsoft. Appendix E presents more information regarding the installation and Maintenance Connection .

2.10 Excessive Infiltration and Inflow Evaluation
The City and the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB) have recognized that the main contributing factor to the new permit violations are a direct result of RDII. The WWTF consistently receives inflow and infiltration (I&I) flows that exceeds the ADWF of 1.1 MGD during even modest rain events.

These elevated flows result in violations of effluent limits, particularly for disinfection-related parameters.

While a comprehensive RDII evaluation has not been completed, the City included in their CIP to perform one. On April 1, 2025, the City provided the NCRWQCB with a workplan for a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SESS), where they are expected to perform an RDII evaluation as part of the workplan.

The terms in the NPDES Permit that are consistently violated when flows exceed 1.1 MGD include the following:
 Disinfection: Disinfected effluent discharged from the wastewater treatment plant through Discharge Point 001 to the Pacific Ocean shall not contain fecal coliform bacteria exceeding the following concentrations, as measured at Monitoring Location EFF-001:
- Enterococci:
 The 6-week rolling geometric mean of enterococci shall not exceed 30 Colony Forming Units (CFU) per 100 mL; and
 No sample shall exceed a CFU of 110 per 100 mL.
- Total Coliform Organisms
 The median value of total coliform bacteria shall not exceed a most probable number (MPN) of 70 per 100 mL in a calendar month; and
 Not more than 10 percent of the samples collected in a calendar month shall exceed an MPN of 230 per 100 mL.

The TSO issued provides interim regulatory relief and recognizes that exceedances above ADWF levels require different compliance measures. Specifically, the TSO outlines interim maximum weekly effluent limitations based on the 95th percentile of historical data, as shown in Table 2-6.

Table 2-6. 95th Percentile Concentrations for Interim Effluent Limitations Parameter Units Maximum Weekly Effluent Limitation
Total Coliform Bacteria MPN/100 mL 939
Enterococci MPN/100 mL 610
These TSO values serve as interim limits to account for high-flow conditions until permanent improvements can be implemented. However, consistent exceedance of both NPDES permit and TSO limits during wet weather underscores the need for a robust RDII evaluation and mitigation strategy. The City’s SSES workplan, once implemented, will inform targeted actions to reduce RDII and restore compliance during wet weather events.

3. Treatment Objectives for Discharge and Reuse
This section describes the reason for the project, performance characteristics, discharge requirements, and projected future flow rates.

3.1 Project Need, Objectives, and Expected Benefits
The WWTF discharges to the Pacific Ocean in accordance with Order No. R1-2023-0039 under NPDES No. CA 0022756. This order is issued pursuant to Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act and regulations adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Chapter 5.5, Division 7 of the California Water Code (commencing with Section 13370). It serves as an NPDES permit authorizing the City to discharge into waters of the Pacific Ocean at Discharge Location 001. The City received a TSO (Order No, R1-2025-0015), which was adopted June 6, 2025, because of chronic violations of Order No.

R1-2023-0039. The TSO will allow the City time to address the violations through this improvement project because the compliance issues cannot be addressed with only operational improvements. The WWTF requires infrastructure improvements to comply with the City’s NPDES Permit.

The City also developed a Project Charter that outlines the vision, mission, and guiding principles for the project to make sure the City’s needs are met as they move toward compliance. The Project Charter elements are shown as follows:
 Vision: Develop a sustainable community asset that provides reliable and cost-effective wastewater services, supports a vibrant local economy, and preserves the region’s natural resources.  Mission: Deliver a reliable, efficient wastewater system project that protects public health, minimizes community impacts, proactively meets regulatory requirements, and pursues funding opportunities to meet current and future needs.
 Guiding Principles:
- Always consider the ratepayer mindset.
- Show the value of the services we provide.
- Support sustainable growth.
- Be a good steward of the environment.
- Create an inviting environment.
- Be transparent, honest, and respectful to build and enhance trust. - Build a community asset.
- Maintain a high standard of performance.
- Actively participate and support knowledge-based decisions. - Commit to tackling the community’s unique challenges. - Inform, educate and engage the community.
- Understand the “why” and expand the “possible.”
The guiding principles were used to develop the decision-making criteria that allowed the City to select the final alternative in Section 5.

The beneficial uses of the receiving stream (RSW-001) as established by the Water Quality Control Plan (NCRWQCB 2018) for the North Coast Region (Basin Plan) and California Ocean Plan (California Water Resources Control Board 2019) are as follows:

Potential:
 Industrial Process Supply
 Aquaculture
Most unit processes within the WWTF are in need of rehabilitation, except for the MBR system, which is the most recently installed process at the WWTF. Major rehabilitation is needed for the primary clarifier, RBC, and biosolids processes. The aeration basin for the MBR system has not been taken offline since the MBR first went online and is in need of service. Improvements are also required to optimize and improve operation of the WWTF, improve water quality, and support ongoing regulatory compliance.

3.2 Performance Characteristics Required for Efficient Treatment WWTF performance-related requirements are specified within the existing NPDES permit in Section IV “Effluent Limitations and Discharge Specifications.”
A whole-plant biological process model was developed using an iterative process simulator, Pro2D2 (developed by Jacobs), to evaluate plant performance projected from NPDES permit conditions with the improvements proposed in this report. The following section describes the setup and calibration of the process model with current conditions.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 3-3

3.2.1 Model Development and Calibration
The process model was built to reflect existing conditions at the WWTF, using appropriate measurements from plant record drawings and operating information from historical data and plant staff. The special sampling period data, taken during October 2022, was used as a basis for calibrating the process model.

During this period, one of the two anaerobic digesters was unexpectedly removed from service, which resulted in the operating digester being overloaded. This condition resulted in the reduced VS in the operating digester, which led to increased organic and solids loading being returned to headworks and affecting the liquid side of treatment performance.

3.2.2 Model Setup
The model setup reflects the current operations at the WWTF (refer to Figure 3-1). Unit process sizing was based on plant record drawings, and performance criteria were based on historical operating data during the calibration period and discussions with plant staff.

Figure 3-1 presents a schematic of the WWTF Pro2D2 model.

Figure 3-1. Crecent City Wastewater Treatment Plant Process Flow Schematic in Pro2D2 Simulator

3.2.3 Model Calibration
The purpose of the model calibration is to minimize the difference between observed or operating conditions and model results through adjustment of model parameters. The Pro2D2 model was calibrated to historical data to confirm the Pro2D2 model is similar to the existing operating conditions. Model parameters were adjusted to result in good agreement with historical conditions, which was defined by reaching the target “stop criteria,” or acceptable error, identified in Wastewater Treatment Process Modeling, Manual of Practice No. 31 (Water Environment Federation 2014).

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 3-4
Calibration results demonstrate overall good agreement with historical data with respect to Wastewater Treatment Process Modeling, Manual of Practice No. 31 (Water Environment Federation 2014) acceptable error ranges, except for MBR WAS TSS Load, which was predicted in the simulation to be lower than the historical value. This can be explained by the additional BOD5 and TSS being recycled from the dewatered filtrate because of the unexpected removal of one of the digesters from service. The impact of this event is also observed in the difference of model-predicted digester sludge TSS and VSS compared to the historical data, where incomplete digestion was observed.

With those considerations, the calibration of the model was sufficiently close at this point. Further application of the calibrated model to the proposed improvements is discussed in Section 4 and Appendix C.

3.3 Health-Related Water Characteristics Required for Discharge, Operational, and Onsite Requirements.

Health-related effluent limits are specific within the NPDES permit (refer to Appendix A).

3.4 Wastewater Discharge Requirements and Anticipated Changes in Discharge Requirements
Discharge requirements are specified within Section IV of the NPDES permit in Appendix A; refer to Figure 3-2 for effluent discharge requirements.

Figure 3-2. Table 2 – NPDES Permit R1-2023-0039 Effluent Requirements Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 3-5
Source: NCRWQCB 2023
In addition to these numeric limitations, specific disinfection performance criteria apply to Discharge Point 001, particularly for bacterial indicators. These parameters are consistently challenging to meet during wet weather events because of increased flows from RDII. When influent flow exceeds 1.1 MGD, the WWTF frequently experiences violations of disinfection-related limits, as summarized as follows:
 Disinfection: Disinfected effluent discharged from the wastewater treatment plant through Discharge Point 001 to the Pacific Ocean shall not contain fecal coliform bacteria exceeding the following concentrations, as measured at Monitoring Location EFF-001:
- Enterococci
- The 6-week rolling geometric mean of enterococci shall not exceed 30 CFU per 100 mL.; and  No sample shall exceed a CFU of 110 per 100 mL.
- Total Coliform Organisms
 The median value of total coliform bacteria shall not exceed an MPN of 70 per 100 mL in a calendar month; and
 Not more than 10 percent of the samples collected in a calendar month shall exceed an MPN of 230 per 100 mL.
- Fecal Coliform
 The 30-day geometric mean of fecal coliform density not to exceed 200 per 100 mL.

These bacterial limits, required for protection of water contact recreation and marine habitat uses, are most vulnerable to exceedance during storm events when high influent flows cause treatment performance degradation, particularly in the disinfection process.

Although the updated NPDES permit (2023) included more stringent limitations than the prior permit, no additional significant changes to effluent requirements are currently anticipated. The City’s ongoing capital planning and alternatives evaluation already account for these newer standards. Compliance with the revised effluent limits has been a key factor in the evaluation and selection of recommended treatment improvements.

3.5 Seismic and Tsunami Design Approach
The California Building Code (CBC) applies to all construction, alteration, relocation, enlargement, replacement, repair, equipment, maintenance, and demolition of every building or structure or any appurtenances connected or attached to such buildings or structures in the State of California. The intent of the building code is to establish the minimum requirements to provide a reasonable level of safety, public health, and general welfare through structural strength, means of egress facilities, stability, sanitation, safety to life and property from fire, explosion and other hazards and to provide a reasonable level of safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations. Design of any new facility or alteration is required to comply with the current CBC.

Crescent City is in a seismically active area susceptible to tsunami, and the WWTF is in a mapped tsunami zone, as shown on Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3. Crescent City Service Area Tsunami Vicinity Map Source: FEMA n.d.

The anticipated codes to be used for this project will be the 2025 CBC adopted American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Standard 7-22, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, to define loading requirements for all buildings and structures.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 3-7
Chapter 6 of ASCE 7-22 (the tsunami design chapter) includes design requirements, including hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces, waterborne debris accumulation and impact loads, subsidence, and scour effects for buildings and other structures located within mapped tsunami design zones. The tsunami loadings are a function of the inundation depth at the site and can be extremely large in magnitude. Inundation depth is determined through an analysis in ASCE 7 that uses the energy grade line analysis method and is influenced by the site’s distance between the ocean and runup point, ground elevation, and topography. Waterborne debris impact loading includes impacts from submerged tumbling boulders, shipping containers, and ships.

Foundation design needs to consider under seepage forces, general erosion, and scour.

Figure 3-4. ASCE 7-16 Illustration of Key Tsunami Definitions To comply with the CBC, this project will assign different risk categories to new and existing facilities in accordance with the IBC 2024 and assumed to be adopted as the CBC 2025. New facilities at the WWTF will be assigned to Tsunami Risk Category III and Seismic Risk Category IV. The facilities will be designed for global stability and to performance criteria required by the associated risk category. New facilities will be designed to be inundated during a tsunami event with the non-structural equipment not being designed for tsunami in accordance with exception 1, Section 1604.5. New facilities and new equipment will be designed to comply with the requirements of Risk Category IV for all other loading conditions.

Existing facilities are not required to meet current code specified loading, for continued service life will not be modified or altered in a way to affect loading beyond allowable values as required by the International Existing Building Code (IEBC).

3.6 Projected Future Flow Rates and Influent Characteristics The WWTF has been designed and permitted to accept and treat flows of 1.86 MGD at ADWF conditions and 6.12 MGD at peak day wet weather conditions. To determine projected BOD5 and TSS loadings at projected flows from the NPDES permit, loading concentrations at current conditions were multiplied by projected flows. Projected maximum month flow was developed by multiplying the maximum month-to-average dry-weather (ADW) peaking factor by the design ADWF.

Table 3-1 summarizes the projected WWTF influent flow and loads.

3.7 Additional Facilities or Actions Needed to Comply with Discharge Requirements
To comply with discharge requirements, the City will need to make structural improvements to the WWTF to be able to adequately treat any flows that exceed the capacity of the existing MBR system. The selected project is necessary for compliance with the current permit.

If funding is obtained and the improvements recommended in this report are constructed, then the City will be able to comply with the current permit. Future regulatory changes exceeding the upgraded WWTF’s capacity may require the City to relocate the WWTF to a property outside the tsunami risk zone. To begin the multi-phase relocation of the WWTF outside the tsunami hazard area, the City has earmarked funds in its CIP for property acquisition.

4. Project Alternatives Analysis
This section presents the development and evaluation of treatment process improvement alternatives for the Crescent City WWTF. The alternatives were developed in response to the facility’s aging infrastructure, operational constraints, and compliance challenges, specifically related to effluent quality limitations associated with the existing RBCs. The alternative analysis is focused on the liquid treatment process and the selected project includes improvements to the rest of the facility would support the selected liquid treatment process, detailed in Sections 5.7 through 5.11 The purpose of this alternatives analysis is to identify and compare feasible treatment strategies that will support long-term compliance with the City’s NPDES permit, improve operational flexibility, and meet future regulatory and capacity requirements. Each alternative was evaluated based on consistent design assumptions, projected treatment performance, operational feasibility, and planning-level costs.

This analysis was prepared in accordance with the CWSRF guidelines, which require that alternatives be assessed relative to defined planning and design criteria, life-cycle cost assumptions, and long-term sustainability. In addition, the analysis reflects the priorities of California Government Code Section 65041.1 and EPA guidance regarding water and energy efficiency, resilience, and environmental sustainability.

The sections that follow provide the design basis and cost estimating methodology for the alternatives (Section 4.1), the alternatives development and planning assumptions (Section 4.1), and a summary of the treatment alternatives considered (Section 4.3). Sections 4.4 through 4.7 present detailed evaluations for each alternative. Appendix C provides process model outputs.

4.1 Planning and Design Parameters and Assumptions
This section outlines the relevant planning assumptions, design criteria, and cost evaluation parameters used as the foundation for developing and comparing the liquid treatment process alternatives. These parameters form the technical basis for the preliminary sizing of unit processes and inform the Class 5 planning-level construction cost estimates used in the evaluation.

4.1.1 Relevant Design Criteria and Planning Period
The liquid treatment process improvement alternatives were developed to address the performance and operational challenges described in Section 2 and to meet the treatment objectives outlined in Section 3.

The basis of evaluation is the projected future flow rates and influent characteristics summarized in Section 3.6. All alternatives were evaluated assuming the facility must ultimately accommodate the project flow and loads corresponding to the current NPDES permit. The design planning period extends 30 years from the expected construction completion date, aligning with the expected useful life of key infrastructure components and with CWSRF planning assumptions.

Critical drivers guiding the development of alternatives included the following:
 Improvement of secondary effluent quality to provide reliable disinfection performance. The existing RBCs produce effluent with elevated TSS, reducing the effectiveness of chlorine disinfection.  Redundancy and operational flexibility. The plant currently operates with a single MBR train and cannot fully take the system offline for required maintenance. Operational redundancy is necessary to support continued operations during maintenance events and high wet weather flows.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-2
As described in the following subsections, all alternatives were developed based on a consistent set of planning assumptions related to the influent pump station, primary clarifiers, CCB, hydraulic grade constraints, peak hour flow conditions, and structural limitations of existing concrete basins. These assumptions will be detailed and confirmed during the next phase of design.

4.1.2 Cost Parameters and Estimate Basis
The opinion of probable construction cost is based on Jacobs’ collective experience. In providing opinions of construction cost, Jacobs has no control over the following:
 Cost or price of labor and materials
 Unknown or latent conditions of existing equipment or structures  Competitive bidding procedures and market conditions
 Time or quality of performance
 Other economic and operational features that may materially affect the ultimate project cost or schedule Jacobs cannot guarantee that proposals, bids, quantities, and actual construction cost will not vary from its opinion.

Based on the level of project definition developed for the alternatives analysis, Class 5 estimates were prepared based on the scope details for each alternative provided in this report and in accordance with the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) International recommended practices.

Class 5 estimates have an expected accuracy range of -20% to -50% on the low side and +30% to +100% on the high side. Estimate accuracy depends on the various underlying assumptions, inclusions, and exclusions described in this report. Actual project costs may differ and can be significantly affected by factors, such as changes in the external environment, the method by which the project is executed and controlled, and other factors that may affect the estimate basis or otherwise affect the project. Estimate accuracy ranges are only assessments based on the cost estimating methods and data employed in preparing the estimate and are not a guarantee of actual project costs.

The estimate includes project specific vendor quotes for the following items:
 MemPulse MBR System, DuPont proposal dated 2023, and escalated to 2025 dollars  WavTex system, Entex Technologies proposal dated April 3, 2025  Cloth disk filters, Aqua Aerobic Systems Proposal dated April 22, 2025  Radial beam fixed digester cover, WesTec proposal dated March 22, 2023, and escalated to 2025 dollars
 Digester gas conditioning system, Unison proposal dated March 22, 2023, and escalated to 2025 dollars
Estimated direct construction costs are based on local prevailing wage rates for the City, including all fringe and burden, and readily available market pricing for materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs obtained from recent historical data, online sources, or database sources, such as R.S. Means.

The total probable construction cost is estimated by applying the following markups to direct construction costs:
 Division 1 – General conditions, 16.4%
 Sales tax, 8.25%
 General contractor overhead and profit, 12%
Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-3
 Insurance and bonds, 2.0%
Based on the level of project definition, an estimate contingency of 40% is applied to account for the cost associated with the further development and refinement of the design and details that are not available at this project phase.

The estimates exclude unforeseen subsurface of existing conditions, hazardous material abatement, permitting costs, escalation to midpoint of construction, construction change order allowance, indirect project costs, such as owner’s costs and salaries and design and engineering services, and land or easement acquisition costs.

Appendix D provides additional estimate notes, assumptions, allowances, exclusions, and cost details are included on the estimate detail sheets.

Life-cycle cost comparisons are included in the scoring and selection matrix presented in Section 4.10.

4.2 Approach to Alternatives Development
Four liquid treatment process improvement alternatives were developed based on the facility’s compliance challenges, operational constraints, and long-term capacity needs. Each alternative includes a filtration step for flows not routed through the MBR, to reduce TSS entering the CCB.

Preliminary sizing of major unit processes was performed for each alternative using the process model described in Section 3.2, based on projected MMWW conditions. Treatment performance was estimated for each configuration. Solids treatment improvements, which are common to all alternatives, are addressed separately in Section 5.7 through 5.10.

Table 4-1 summarizes the major elements of each alternative.

4.3 Summary of Key Planning Assumptions
The following assumptions, which will be refined in the next design phase for the selected project, were made to streamline the alternatives analysis:
 Influent pump station, existing primary clarifiers, and CCB will remain unchanged for all alternatives, except for the rehabilitation work identified separately from the liquid treatment process improvement evaluation.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-4
 There will be sufficient head between the primary effluent flow splitter and the existing secondary clarifier basins, and additional pumping will not be required as long as the unit processes retrofitted within the secondary clarifiers have the same hydraulic grade as the current secondary clarifier hydraulic grade.
 Peak hour flow, as summarized in Section 2, is highly dependent on the service area’s I&I conditions.

As the City continues to evaluate and implement I&I reduction efforts, future peak hour flows may change. For the purpose of this analysis, observed peak hour flow data from 2024 to 2025 was used as the basis for filtration process sizing.
 Based on the proposed scope of improvements, retrofits to existing concrete structures are not anticipated to exceed the thresholds that would trigger mandatory compliance with current tsunami or seismic loading requirements under CBC. Modifications have been evaluated in accordance with the IEBC, and no changes are proposed that would alter structural loading conditions beyond allowable limits. As such, the existing structures may retain their current classification and will not require significant upgrades for tsunami or seismic loading because of the planned work.

All alternatives will include a filtration process for the flows not going through the MBR process to lower the particulate matters entering the CCB. The process model described in Section 3.2 was modified for each of the alternatives to estimate the process sizing and projected treatment performance. Projected from NPDES permit MMWW condition was used for the basis of biological treatment process sizing.

4.4 Alternative 1
Alternative 1 proposed to add a second MBR train by retrofitting one of the three existing secondary clarifier basins. Primary effluent flows exceeding the combined capacity of the two MBR trains will bypass the MBR system and be directed to a filtration process installed in one of the remaining secondary clarifiers. Effluent form both the MBR and filtration system will be combined and conveyed to the existing CCB for final disinfection.

The RBC system will be decommissioned. Major mechanical components will be removed, but the concrete structure and RBC drain line will remain in place. This retained infrastructure may be repurposed for flow equalization. In that configuration, excess influent could be temporarily stored in the RBC basin and later drained back to the headworks via the plant drain once peak flows subside.

Figure 4-1 displays a schematic of Alternative 1, and Table 4-2 summarizes associated plant modifications. One secondary clarifier will be retrofitted to MBR, and another will house the filtration process. The third clarifier will be converted into a WAS tank and a digested sludge storage tank (refer to Section 5.8).

The new MBR train will include permeate pumps, process air blowers, air scour blowers, and a control panel, which will be installed in the existing MBR building where spaces for the additional MBR train equipment have been allocated for the future expansion. The new MBR trains will share the existing MBR chemical cleaning infrastructure. Waste activated sludge from the new MBR will be routed through the existing RAS/WAS box and conveyed to the RDT.

For the filtration process, AquaAerobic was contacted to explore feasible options for retrofitting a clarifier basin. The following criteria were considered:
 Filters must fit into a single clarifier basin without triggering seismic and tsunami code compliance requirements.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-5
 Filters must be capable of treating primary effluent without the need for intermediate pumping to the existing CCB.
 The filtration process must accommodate up to 12 MGD of peak hour flow diverted from the MBR system.

The following two filter configurations were evaluated:
 MiniDisk: Approximately 3 feet in diameter, and 10 disks can be packaged into one unit.  AquaDisk: Approximately 6 feet in diameter, and 24 disks can be packaged into one unit.

According to AquaAerobic, up to 12 MiniDisk units can be installed in a single clarifier basin, providing approximately 6.5 MGD of treatment capacity for primary effluent. The AquaDisk configuration could accommodate up to 10 MGD with two units. The MiniDisk option will most likely meet the restriction to not trigger the tsunami code compliance issue, whereas there is a risk of triggering the tsunami code requirements with AquaDisk, because of height and structural layout, this could not be confirmed at the time of analysis. For consistency across all alternatives, the MiniDisk footprint (which has a larger space requirement) was used for layout considerations, while the higher-cost AquaDisk was used as the basis for cost estimating. Filter configurations will be confirmed and refined during the next phase of design.

Backwash waste from the filtration process, expected to contain less than 1,500 mg/L of solids, will be conveyed to the plant drain because it is not suitable for return to the RDT based on the low concentration of the backwash waste solids.

4.4.1 Preliminary Layout
For planning and cost estimation purposes, the proposed MBR train under Alternative 1 assumes the use of DuPont (Memcor) membrane equipment system, consistent with the existing MBR system. The DuPont system configuration includes membrane tanks that receive mixed liquor from the adjacent aeration basin via submersible feed pumps. RAS flows by gravity through a pipe or channel back to the head of the aeration basin.

Membrane modules are assembled onto a rack, and multiple racks are placed into each membrane tank.

Each rack is approximately 10 inches thick and designed for individual removal. The modular approach reduces the space requirement for the membrane maintenance and replacement compared to most other membrane equipment systems, which require the removal of the entire cassettes. Because of the compact footprint and compatibility with existing infrastructure, the secondary clarifier adjacent to the existing MBR system was assumed to be the basin retrofitted for MBR.

The filtration process will be in the middle clarifier, which will be modified to house steel tank disk filter units. Backwash pumps and associated piping will be installed within the basin. Filter backwash waste will be collected to the backwash waste header and discharged to the plant drain.

The clarifier on the west side will be retrofitted into aerated WAS storage and digested sludge storage.

A portion of the clarifier will be allocated for the digested sludge pump station. Aeration blowers for the aerated WAS storage will be placed on the west side of the clarifier. Figure 4-2 presents a preliminary layout for Alternative 1.

Figure 4-2. Alternative 1 Design Overlay
Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-8

4.4.2 Projected Performance
The process model was updated to reflect one clarifier retrofitted as an MBR and one clarifier retrofitted for filtration. At projected dry-weather flows and loads, the new MBR is expected to provide approximately

1.1 MGD treatment capacity at the MMWW condition. At the projected NPDES permit ADWF conditions, all flow would be treated by the two MBR trains; however, at the MMWW condition, the model predicts that approximately 2.3 MGD of additional flow, on a daily average basis, would exceed the combined MBR capacity and be diverted to the filtration system. The combined flow of MBR effluent and filtered effluent is projected to have the BOD5 and TSS levels of 30 mg/L and 8 mg/L, respectively, at the projected from NPDES permit MMWW condition.

It should be noted that in addition to being close to the discharge limit for the effluent BOD concentration, this alternative will have part of the flow treated with primary clarification and filtration without biological treatment.

4.4.3 Operational Considerations
Under normal operating conditions, primary effluent will flow and be distributed between the two MBR trains using existing piping infrastructure. The new MBR will receive flow via the existing 16-inch RBC bypass pipe, while the existing MBR will continue to be fed through the 20-inch influent pipe.

At higher flows during wet weather events, the flow may pass through the decommissioned RBC and split between the MBR and filtration process using the existing pipes. Additional hydraulic modeling will be conducted during the next design phase to identify flow thresholds that would trigger the need to pass the flow through the decommissioned RBC basin and to define flow control strategies for managing peak events.

The existing MBR has an average, peak day, and peak hour flows of 1.2 MGD, 1.5 MGD and 1.9 MGD, respectively. Assuming the same peaking factors, the combined capacity of the two MBR trains is estimated to be 3.6 MGD at peak hour. With a projected peak hour influent of 12 MGD, approximately

8.4 MGD would be diverted directly to the filtration process.

If the MiniDisk system (with an estimated capacity of 6.5 MGD) is implemented, any excess flow—up to approximately 2 MG—may bypass the filters and be discharged directly into the combined effluent before disinfection. If the AquaDisk system is used (estimated to handle up to 10 MGD), all excess flow would be routed through filtration before it is combined with the MBR effluent. It should be noted that the peak hour and instantaneous peak flow through the filter will be subject to the hydraulics, and actual overflow beyond the rated capacity will need to be assessed further.

4.4.4 Cost Estimate
A Class 5 planning-level opinion of probable construction cost was developed for Alternative 1 in accordance with AACE International recommended practices. The estimate reflects the conceptual level of design developed for this phase and is based on the scope and preliminary sizing of treatment process components described in Sections 4.1 through 4.3.

Costs were compiled from a combination of vendor quotations, historical data, and unit pricing adjusted for 2025 dollars and local market conditions in the City. The estimate includes allowances for general conditions, contractor overhead and profit, bonds, insurance, sales tax, and a design development contingency consistent with a Class 5 level estimate. Key vendor proposals were incorporated for major components, such as the MBR system, filtration units, and blower systems, as outlined in Section 4.1.2.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-9
Because of the conceptual nature of the design at this stage, a contingency of 40% was applied to account for scope refinement in future design phases. The estimate does not include escalation to midpoint of construction, owner costs, permitting, land or easement acquisition, or unknown site conditions.

Table 4-3 summarizes the opinion of probable construction cost for Alternative 1, along with the estimated accuracy range.

This estimate provides a comparative basis for evaluating capital cost implications across all alternatives.

Life-cycle cost and operational cost impacts are further considered in the scoring and selection framework presented in Section 4.10.

4.5 Alternative 2
Alternative 2 proposes retrofitting the existing RBC structure with a new attached growth biological treatment process while maintaining the existing MBR train and incorporating filtration. Under this concept, primary effluent flows exceeding the existing MBR train’s capacity will flow to the attached growth system, and the resulting effluent will be directed to a filtration process installed within one of the remaining secondary clarifier basins. The MBR effluent and filtered effluent will be combined and flow into the existing CCB. Filter backwash will be routed to the headworks via an existing plant drain.

Figure 4-3 presents a schematic of Alternative 2, and Table 4-4 summarizes the unit processes/facilities included in this concept. Similar to Alternative 1, one of the secondary clarifier basins will be repurposed to provide aerated WAS storage and digested sludge storage.

The attached growth system will be installed within the existing RBC basin, replacing the decommissioned RBC equipment. Treated effluent from this system will flow directly to the disk filters. The design and performance characteristics of the filtration system are consistent with those described in Alternative 1.

Disk Filters  Install steel tanks (x12).
 Install disk filter modules (x12).
 Install backwash pumps (x12).
 Filter inlet piping.
 Filter outlet piping.
 Install filtration system control panel.

4.5.1 Preliminary Layout
The attached growth process proposed for Alternative 2 is based on the WavTex™ system by Entex (Chapel Hill, North Carolina). This system uses a moving woven media fixed-film mounted within modular frames, which are aerated by integrated fine-bubble diffusers. WavTex modules are designed to be installed in existing concrete basins and operate similarly to RBC trains, with multiple cells arranged in series. A set (duty-standby) of aeration blowers will be installed next to the existing RBC structure.

Based on Entex’s input, a 12-module system can treat approximately 1,000 lb/day of BOD₅, with an estimated solids yield of 337 lb/day. Under projected MMWW conditions, the influent BOD₅ load is estimated at 5,756 lb/day. Accounting for primary clarification and diversion of higher strength flows to the existing MBR, approximately 2,000 lb/day of BOD₅ loading is anticipated to be directed to the attached growth system. To meet this requirement, 24 WavTex modules would be installed within the RBC basin.

The WavTex modules will be arranged in three parallel trains, each consisting of four RBC cells housing two modules per cell (eight modules per train). Aeration blowers will be installed adjacent to the RBC structure to serve the WavTex system. Figure 4-4 presents a preliminary layout for Alternative 2.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-11
Figure 4-4. Alternative 2 Design Overlay

4.5.2 Projected Performance
The updated process model for this alternative includes retrofitting one clarifier for filtration and converting the RBC basin to an attached growth process. Under MMWW flows and loads, the combined effluent from the MBR and attached growth-filtration process is projected to have the BOD5 and TSS levels of 25 mg/L and 12 mg/L, respectively.

This configuration would provide biological treatment for all flows and is expected to meet NPDES permit limits. However, the projected BOD₅ concentration is close to the regulatory limit. This projection is based on steady-state modeling at 4.43 MGD, and therefore, this alternative may be vulnerable for the effluent quality compliance limits at the buildout wet weather conditions.

4.5.3 Operational Considerations
During dry-weather flows, primary effluent up to 1.2 MGD (average), 1.5 MGD (peak day), and 1.9 MGD (peak hour) will be treated by the existing MBR system through the 20-inch influent pipe. Flows above that threshold during wet weather events will be diverted to the attached growth system installed in the retrofitted RBC basin. Effluent from the attached growth system will be directed to the filtration system for solids removal before disinfection.

At the projected peak hour influent flow of 12 MGD, approximately 10.1 MGD would be diverted to the attached growth and filtration train. If the MiniDisk configuration is used (estimated capacity: 6.5 MGD), up to 3.6 MGD of attached growth effluent could overflow filtration and flow directly into the combined effluent before disinfection. If the AquaDisk system is selected (estimated capacity: 10 MGD), it is expected to treat nearly the entire attached growth effluent volume during peak flow conditions.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-12
As with Alternative 1, actual filter overflow and hydraulic behavior will be further evaluated during next phases of design. As the peak flow will be attenuated through the treatment processes and a short period of diluted flow exceeding the rated treatment capacity is likely acceptable, it is anticipated that the peak flow exceeding the filter capacity could be lowered, and all flows will be treated through the attached growth-filter and MBR.

4.5.4 Cost Estimate
A Class 5 planning-level opinion of probable construction cost was developed for Alternative 2 in accordance with AACE International recommended practices. The estimate reflects the conceptual level of design developed for this phase and is based on the scope and preliminary sizing of treatment process components described in Sections 4.1 through 4.3.

Because of the conceptual nature of the design at this stage, a contingency of 40% was applied to account for scope refinement in future design phases. The estimate does not include escalation to midpoint of construction, owner costs, permitting, land or easement acquisition, or unknown site conditions.

Table 4-5 summarizes the opinion of probable construction cost for Alternative 2, along with the estimated accuracy range.

This estimate provides a comparative basis for evaluating capital cost implications across all alternatives.

Life-cycle cost and operational cost impacts are further considered in the scoring and selection framework presented in Section 4.10.

4.6 Alternative 3
Alternative 3 combines the key elements of Alternatives 1 and 2. A second MBR train will be added by retrofitting one of the three existing secondary clarifier trains. The existing RBC structure will be retrofitted to house a new attached growth biological treatment process. Effluent from the attached growth system, along with associated solids, will be directed to a filtration system installed in one of the remaining secondary clarifier basins. MBR effluent and filtered effluent will be blended in the existing effluent channel and discharged to the existing CCB for final disinfection.

The third secondary clarifier will be repurposed to provide aerated WAS storage and digested sludge storage.

Figure 4-5 presents a schematic of Alternative 3, and Table 4-6 summarizes unit processes/facilities included in this concept.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-13
Figure 4-5. Alternative 3 Process Flow Diagram

4.6.1 Preliminary Layout
The attached growth system will use 24 WavTex modules, consistent with the configuration described in Alternative 2. Modules will be installed in the existing RBC basin, arranged in three parallel trains. Each train will consist of four RBC cells, with two WavTex modules per cell (eight cells per train).

The secondary clarifier closest to the primary clarifiers will be divided into two zones: one for aerated WAS storage and the other for digested sludge storage. The digested sludge pump station will be installed within the basin footprint. The middle clarifier will house the filtration system, and the clarifier adjacent to the existing MBR will be retrofitted for the new MBR train. Note that clarifier assignments are preliminary and will be confirmed during detailed design.

Figure 4-6 shows a preliminary layout of the proposed facility configuration.

4.6.2 Projected Performance
The process model was updated to reflect one clarifier retrofitted as an MBR, one for filtration, and the RBC basin converted to an attached growth system. At projected dry-weather flows and loads, the new MBR is expected to provide approximately 1.1 MGD of treatment capacity under MMWW conditions.

The existing MBR has a design capacity of 1.2 MGD.

At the projected NPDES permit ADWF conditions, all flow can be treated by the two MBR trains. Under MMWW conditions, approximately 2.3 MGD (daily average) will be directed to the attached growth and filtration system. The combined MBR effluent and filtered effluent flows are projected to have the BOD5 and TSS levels of 16 mg/L and 8 mg/L, respectively. This configuration will provide the most robust treatment meeting the effluent limits with reasonable margins, and all flows will be passed through biological treatment processes.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-16

4.6.3 Operational Considerations
During normal operating conditions, primary effluent will be distributed between the two MBR trains.

The existing MBR will receive flow via the 20-inch pipe, handling up to 1.2 MGD (average), 1.5 MGD (peak day), and 1.9 MGD (peak hour). The new MBR will receive flow through the 16-inch RBC bypass pipe, with expected MMWW treatment capacity of 1.1 MGD (average), 1.4 MGD (peak day), and 1.7 MGD (peak hour).

Flows in excess of the combined MBR capacity will be directed to the attached growth system. Treated effluent from this system will pass through the filters before disinfection.

At a peak hour influent flow of 12 MGD, up to 3.6 MGD may be treated by the MBR system. The remaining

8.4 MGD will be processed by the attached growth and filtration train. If the MiniDisk system is used (capacity: 6.5 MGD), up to 1.9 MGD of flow could exceed the filtration system’s capacity and bypass directly to disinfection. If the AquaDisk system is selected (rated at 10 MGD), all attached growth effluent is expected to be filtered before disinfection. As with the previous alternatives, actual performance and filter overflow will be subject to hydraulic modeling during next phases of design.

4.6.4 Cost Estimate
A Class 5 planning-level opinion of probable construction cost was developed for Alternative 3 in accordance with AACE International recommended practices. The estimate reflects the conceptual level of design developed for this phase and is based on the scope and preliminary sizing of treatment process components described in Sections 4.1 through 4.3.

Costs were compiled from a combination of vendor quotations, historical data, and unit pricing adjusted for 2025 dollars and local market conditions in the City. The estimate includes allowances for general conditions, contractor overhead and profit, bonds, insurance, sales tax, and a design development contingency consistent with a Class 5 level estimate. Key vendor proposals were incorporated for major components such as the MBR system, filtration units, and blower systems, as outlined in Section 4.1.2.

Table 4-7 summarizes the opinion of probable construction cost for Alternative 3, along with the estimated accuracy range.

4.7 Alternative 4
Alternative 4 is a subalternative to Alternative 1. It proposes to construct a new, second MBR train as a mirror image of the existing MBR system, northeast of the current facility. Unlike Alternative 1, which involves retrofitting an existing clarifier basin, this option adds new infrastructure to expand biological treatment capacity. Primary effluent flows that exceed the combined MBR capacity will be diverted to a filtration system retrofitted into one of the three existing secondary clarifier basins.

The existing RBC process is assumed to be decommissioned. Major mechanical components will be removed, while the concrete structure and RBC drain line will remain in place and may be used for flow equalization. The MBR and filtered effluents will be blended at the existing effluent channel and conveyed to the CCB for final disinfection.

Figure 4-7 presents a schematic of Alternative 4, and Table 4-8 summarizes unit processes/facilities included in this concept.

4.7.1 Preliminary Layout
The new MBR train will replicate the layout and design of the existing MBR, northeast of the current facility footprint. This will require extending the WWTF fence line but is assumed to remain within the property boundary. Primary effluent will flow to the new MBR via an extension of the existing 20-inch MBR influent pipe. Flow exceeding the combined MBR capacity will be routed to filtration via the 16-inch RBC bypass line during normal and wet weather events.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-19
The filtration system will be installed in the middle clarifier basin, and the southwest clarifier will be converted into aerated WAS storage and digested sludge storage. The clarifier adjacent to the existing MBR will be abandoned in place under this alternative.

The new MBR will include permeate pumps, process air blowers, air scour blowers, and a control panel, all housed in the existing MBR building. Chemical cleaning will be shared with the existing MBR system.

Figure 4-8 presents a preliminary layout for Alternative 4.

Figure 4-8. Alterative 4 Design Overlay

4.7.2 Projected Performance
The process model was updated to reflect the addition of a new, mirrored MBR train and a filtration process retrofitted into an existing clarifier. Using projections from the NPDES permit dry-weather flows and loads, the new MBR is expected to provide approximately 1.2 MGD of treatment capacity. Combined with the existing MBR’s 1.2 MGD capacity, the two trains would treat the entire influent under ADWF conditions.

Using projections from NPDES permit MMWW conditions, the model predicts that up to 2.07 MGD could be diverted to the new MBR, depending on final module sizing and hydraulic design. The remaining

0.4 MGD would bypass to filtration. The blended effluent from the MBR and filtered flows is projected to meet 21.7 mg/L BOD₅ and 8.3 mg/L TSS, which is within NPDES permit limits but closer to the compliance threshold than Alternative 3.

While this alternative will provide projected effluent quality to be in compliance with the discharge limit with reasonable margin, this alternative will have part of the flow to be treated with primary clarification and filtration but no biological treatment during the wet weather conditions.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-20

4.7.3 Operational Considerations
Under normal flow conditions, primary effluent will be distributed between the existing and new MBR trains via the existing 20-inch influent pipe. During wet weather events, flows exceeding the MBR capacity may pass through the decommissioned RBC or the 16-inch bypass line to filtration.

The existing MBR provides 1.2 MGD (average), 1.5 MGD (peak day), and 1.9 MGD (peak hour) treatment capacity. Assuming a similar design for the new MBR, the two trains would together provide approximately

3.8 MGD of peak hour treatment. Based on projections from NPDES permit MMWW, up to 6.2 MGD could be routed through the two MBR trains for short durations if hydraulic loading conditions allow.

At a peak hour influent of 12 MGD, approximately 5.8 MGD would bypass to the filtration system. If the MiniDisk system is used (capacity: 6.5 MGD), up to 1.7 MGD of flow could exceed the rated capacity and flow directly to the disinfection system. If the AquaDisk system is selected (rated at 10 MGD), it would be able to filter the entire bypass flow. As with the previous alternatives, actual performance and filter overflow will be subject to hydraulic modeling during next phases of design.

4.7.4 Cost Estimate
A Class 5 planning-level opinion of probable construction cost was developed for Alternative 4 in accordance with AACE International recommended practices. The estimate reflects the conceptual level of design developed for this phase and is based on the scope and preliminary sizing of treatment process components described in Sections 4.1 through 4.3.

Costs were compiled from a combination of vendor quotations, historical data, and unit pricing adjusted for 2025 dollars and local market conditions in the City. The estimate includes allowances for general conditions, contractor overhead and profit, bonds, insurance, sales tax, and a design development contingency consistent with a Class 5 level estimate. Key vendor proposals were incorporated for major components such as the MBR system, filtration units, and blower systems, as outlined in Section 4.1.2.

4.8 Compliance Requirements and Treatment Reliability
Among the four alternatives considered, Alternatives 1 and 4 include configurations where primary effluent exceeding the combined MBR treatment capacity would bypass biological treatment and be directed to filtration followed by disinfection. While the process model predicts these alternatives could meet effluent limits under most conditions, the projected BOD₅ concentrations approach the permit limits, which leaves limited compliance margin during high loading events.

In addition, the NPDES permit (Order No. R1-2023-0039) includes a provision requiring that all influent wastewater be treated using processes no less protective than those currently in operation. Because the existing facility treats 100% of the flow biologically, either via MBR or RBC, sending a portion of primary effluent directly to filtration and disinfection, as proposed in Alternatives 1 and 4, may not meet this permit condition.

Alternative 3, which includes both a second MBR train and an attached growth biological treatment process, would ensure all flow is biologically treated before filtration and disinfection. While modeled BOD₅ and TSS levels under MMWW conditions are slightly higher when one MBR train is offline, projected effluent concentrations remain within NPDES permit limits, providing better regulatory confidence and operational flexibility.

In Alternative 2, all flow receives biological treatment via the existing MBR and the attached growth process. The model predicts that effluent BOD₅ and TSS concentrations will remain in compliance under both ADWF and MMWW conditions, as long as both biological treatment systems remain in operation.

However, if the MBR train were taken offline, effluent quality would degrade significantly, potentially exceeding permit limits even under average conditions. This limits operational flexibility for maintenance or downtime events.

To assess the relative reliability of Alternatives 2 and 3, the process model was run under both average dry weather and MMWW conditions with one of the MBR trains offline. The projected effluent concentrations for each scenario are summarized in Table 4-10 and Table 4-11.

4.9 Biosolids Treatment Process and Disposal Considerations The biosolids management strategy for the WWTF is currently centered on anaerobic digestion followed by dewatering and offsite disposal at a landfill. The project includes several critical improvements to stabilize and enhance biosolids treatment performance, improve process control, and enable compliance with both current federal regulations and future state mandates. The upgrades are designed to preserve operational flexibility, improve VS reduction, and provide long-term sustainability of biosolids handling and disposal.

4.9.1 Regulatory Context
Federal biosolids treatment and disposal requirements are governed under 40 CFR Part 503. These regulations establish standards for pathogen and vector attraction reduction, as well as pollutant limits, to ensure biosolids can be safely land-applied, composted, or otherwise beneficially reused. To meet these standards, biosolids must be treated to Class B or Class A levels, depending on the intended disposal method.

In addition, California is implementing Senate Bill (SB) 1383, a statewide mandate to reduce the landfilling of organic waste, including biosolids, by 75% by the year 2025. This regulation, coupled with rising landfill costs and reduced disposal options, increases the need to update the biosolids management approach in the City and consider long-term alternatives beyond landfill disposal.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-24

4.9.2 Existing System and Planned Upgrades
Biosolids at the WWTF are produced from a combination of primary sludge and WAS. WAS from both the existing and proposed new MBR trains will be directed to a new aerated WAS storage tank, which will provide up to two days of equalized volume and reduce the digester foaming issues that have been reported under intermittent feeding regimes. The stored WAS will be thickened using the existing RDT before being pumped to the anaerobic digesters.

The existing digestion system consists of two anaerobic digesters, each with significant structural and operational deficiencies. The selected project will include major upgrades to allow both digesters to be operated in parallel, each with fixed covers and redundant boiler capacity. These improvements will increase retention time and promote more stable digestion performance.

Additional enhancements include the following:
 Installation of a new 0.6 million British thermal unit per hour (MBH) hot water boiler (plus optional standby unit), replacing the aging and oversized steam boiler.  Addition of a digester gas conditioning system to reduce hydrogen sulfide and moisture before the biogas is used as boiler fuel.

4.9.3 Current and Projected Disposal Costs
The WWTF disposes of dewatered biosolids at the Dry Creek Landfill in White City, Oregon. The hauling distance is approximately 121 miles, and landfill options within California’s North Coast region remain limited. Table 4-12 summarizes recent cost trends.

In 2023, unit hauling and disposal costs increased 30% to $175 per wet ton over the previous year’s unit cost of $123 per wet ton. Coupled with the gradual increase in total tons produced each year, the cost in 2023 could be nearly double what it was in 2021. Refer to Table 4-12 for quantity and cost of disposal at the landfill over the past 5 years and estimated 2023 values.

Table 4-12. Tonnage and Cost of Crescent City Biosolids Hauling and Disposal Year Dry Tons Wet Tons Rate ($/wet ton) Annual Disposal Cost 2019 135 900 $123 $110,700
2020 144 960 $123 $118,080
2021 138 920 $123 $113,160
2022 162 1,080 $123 $132,840
2023 173 1,152 $175 $201,048

4.9.4 Long-Term Disposal Options
To reduce future disposal risk and support long-term sustainability, the project considered alternatives to landfill disposal. Table 4-13 summarizes the options evaluated.

[a] Class A drying will not necessarily require solids to be digested. Once a drying system is implemented, digesters can be taken out of service.

Option 1 presents the simplest near-term path, but costs and regulatory pressures are likely to increase.

Options 2 to 4 would require capital investment and program development but offer improved long-term cost control and environmental benefits.

4.9.5 Recommendations
The selected project includes the foundational upgrades required to enable all long-term disposal options described previously. Therefore, the following steps are recommended:

1. Implement the digester, WAS storage, and gas handling upgrades as described in Section 5 to stabilize and optimize Class B biosolids production.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 4-26

2. Monitor the evolving regulatory and market conditions related to SB 1383 and Oregon landfill acceptance.

3. Pursue planning, permitting, and grant funding for advanced biosolids management infrastructure (for example, Class B land application or Class A processing) in future capital phases.

The upgrades included in the selected project will enhance biosolids treatment reliability, provide operational flexibility, and support compliance with both current and anticipated future regulations. These improvements position the City to respond proactively to rising disposal costs and tightening sustainability mandates.

4.10 Evaluation Selection Criteria and Scoring Matrix
This section documents the multicriteria decision framework used to evaluate and compare the four treatment alternatives and ultimately recommend a single project. The process was structured and transparent, combining two facilitated workshops with consensus-based weighting of evaluation criteria and a formal scoring matrix.

The selection criteria were defined through a collaborative process with the City, including two facilitated workshops held on December 19, 2024, and May 1, 2025. Each criterion was assigned a weight based on its criticality to project success, as determined through live stakeholder polling and discussion. Criteria were evaluated using a qualitative scale—High (3), Medium (2), Low (1)—and scored accordingly.

Weighted scores were then summed to compare the overall performance of each alternative.

The selection criteria and evaluation process were developed in consideration of the California Government Code Section 65041.1, which outlines statewide planning priorities intended to promote equity, strengthen the economy, protect the environment, and promote public health and safety. The evaluation also reflects sustainability best practices and climate adaptation goals, including those recommended by EPA for promoting water and energy efficiency in wastewater infrastructure planning.

Table 4-14 summarizes the final criteria, their assigned weights, and their alignment with applicable state planning priorities and sustainability objectives.

Each alternative was then evaluated against the following criteria using a qualitative three-point scale:
 High (H = 3) – Clearly favorable performance or benefit  Medium (M = 2) – Acceptable or moderate performance
 Low (L = 1) – Underperforming or higher risk
Each rating was multiplied by the assigned criterion weight, and the results were summed to develop a composite weighted score for each alternative. This process allowed both qualitative and quantitative factors to be considered in a consistent, balanced manner.

Using this framework, each alternative was scored against the defined criteria, and the composite scores were used to rank and compare the options. Table 4-15 summarizes the full scoring matrix. Alternative 3 emerged as the highest-scoring option, offering the strongest combination of regulatory performance, infrastructure reuse, resiliency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability benefits.

97 After the workshop, the project team tested the robustness of the result by re-running the matrix under three scenarios: (1) equal weights for all criteria, (2) double weight on “meeting future regulations,” and (3) omission of the three least-important criteria. In every scenario, Alternative 3 remained the top-ranking option. The sensitivity exercise demonstrated that the recommendation is resilient across a reasonable range of stakeholder perspectives.

Following the workshops with the City, Alternative 3 was selected as the recommended approach for liquid treatment process improvements, as described in Section 4.6. Alternative 3 includes the following major improvements:
 Retrofit of the existing RBC basin with an alternative attached growth biological treatment process  Addition of a second MBR train by retrofitting one of the three existing secondary clarifier basins  Installation of disk filter units to treat the effluent from the attached growth process, using another secondary clarifier basin
The existing headworks and primary clarifiers will remain in service without process changes, although rehabilitation work will be performed on the primary clarifiers as part of the project.

Improvements to solids handling facilities will be implemented to increase solids retention time (SRT), stabilize feed rates to the anaerobic digesters, and preserve operational flexibility for the dewatering process.

The subsections that follow provide detailed descriptions of the recommended improvements by unit process.

5.1 Primary Clarifiers
Existing primary clarifiers are three rectangular clarifiers with chain and flight solids collection mechanism.

Screened and de-gritted influent flow is pumped into the primary clarifier distribution box, and the flow is split into three trains of clarifiers. Solids collected in the primary clarifiers are transferred to the GT to thicken the solids concentration before the thickened solids are fed to the anaerobic digester. Supernatant of the gravity thicker is drained into the plant drain and sent back to upstream of the headworks.

Significant wear was observed on the floor of the primary clarifiers during the conditions assessment conducted in August 2022. Scraper wear tracks have experienced severe corrosion and require replacement. Operations are currently working to keep the sludge blankets down to limit pressure and damage on flights. The following sections discuss various components needing repair or replacement.

Based on the conditions assessment, the following are the recommended improvements for the primary clarifier:
 Clarifier concrete resurfacing: The primary clarifier concrete surfaces exhibit signs of wear and require repair and resurfacing in several locations.
 Replace wood framing with metal structures, as shown on Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2.  Add baffle at RBC channel: Primary effluent flow split design has overflow gate to the RBC system and underflow gate to the MBR system. Chamber and channel to MBR is a dead end and filled with floatable solids with no way for removal. Figure 5-3 shows the location of the baffle placement.  Replace wear strips and shoes: Although wear strips (Virgin Gar-Dur UHMW-PE) have been replaced in the past, significant floor wear and damage to wear tracks remain. Replacement is required.  Primary clarifier building replacements: The two buildings at the primary clarifier need to be demolished and replaced.
 Replace gear box of north primary sludge pump; the old gear box will be rebuilt for spare use.

 Provide shelf spare primary clarifier drive.
 Replace T-valve of buried primary influent valves.
 Renovate the primary effluent flow structure, including motor-operated valves and gates.  Electrical, instrumentation, and controls improvements to support aforementioned items described.

5.2 Attached Growth Biological Treatment
The selected project includes the conversion of the existing RBC system into an attached growth biological treatment process. The existing RBC units, including wheels, shafts, and covers, will be removed. In their place, modular fixed-film biological treatment media will be installed within the existing concrete RBC cells.

The selected basis of design for this treatment process is the WavTex system by Entex, a moving media biological treatment system with integrated aeration. Each WavTex module is designed to fit within the flat-bottom RBC cells and includes woven media panels supported in frames, with air introduced via integrated fine-bubble diffusers.

Each RBC cell measures 26 feet 4 inches wide, with a usable flat-bottom length of approximately 6 feet (refer to Figure 5-4). Each WavTex module is 6 feet long by 10 feet wide by 6 feet deep, and two modules will be placed in each RBC cell. With four cells per train and three parallel trains, the complete system will include 24 modules (eight per train).

Aeration blowers will be installed adjacent to the RBC structure to provide process air to the modules.

Associated piping will deliver air to each cell. A preliminary design basis for the attached growth system is provided in Table 5-1.

The WavTex system was originally sized by Entex to treat approximately 1,000 lb/day of BOD₅ using 12 modules (four per train). To accommodate an estimated 2,000 lb/day of BOD₅ under MMWW conditions, the system was scaled up to include 24 modules. The sizing is based on the assumption that treatment capacity is approximately proportional to organic loading.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 5-4
This design basis is preliminary and will be further refined during the next design phase, including additional analysis to confirm hydraulic capacity, organic loading rates, and potential structural modifications needed to optimize flow through the system. Initial modeling assumes sufficient hydraulic head exists to allow flow through the attached growth modules and downstream disk filters, ultimately discharging to the CCB. Final hydraulic evaluation will be completed during detailed design.

Treated effluent containing excess biomass and inert solids from the attached growth system will be directed to the downstream disk filtration system for solids removal before disinfection.

5.3 Cloth Filters
The proposed disk filtration system will treat the attached growth treatment process effluent. Steel tank disk filter units will be installed within the existing CCB. Filtered effluent will merge with the MBR filtrate, and filter backwash water will be sent back to the headworks. Two options for the disk filters were evaluated during the alternative evaluation phase, and the preliminary design configuration will be developed during the next design phase. The following two options were evaluated:
 AquaAerobic MiniDisk
 AquaAerobic AquaDisk
The MiniDisk option features smaller disk modules that can be installed within the footprint of the existing secondary clarifier basins. According to AquaAerobic, up to 12 10-disk MiniDisk units can be installed in one clarifier basin, with a total peak hour treatment capacity of approximately 6.5 MGD. The typical capacity rating for each 10-disk unit under tertiary conditions is approximately 1 MGD; however, the design capacity in this application reflects higher influent solids concentrations and increased solids loading. The proposed MiniDisk sizing provides a maximum hydraulic loading of 3.28 gallons per minute per square foot (gpm/ft²) and a maximum solids loading of 2.40 pounds per day per square foot (lb/day/ft²).

The AquaDisk option consists of two larger disk filter units with a total peak hour capacity of 10 MGD. Each unit includes 24 6-foot diameter disks, installed in a steel tank approximately 9 feet in height (10 feet, including above-tank equipment). The proposed AquaDisk configuration provides a maximum hydraulic loading of 3.23 gpm/ft² and a maximum solids loading of 2.36 lb/day/ft².

The filter design parameters are summarized in Table 5-2.

Further analysis will be conducted during the next design phase to determine the final filter configuration.

Evaluation criteria will include the following:
 The ability of the MiniDisk units to treat attached growth effluent effectively over a range of operating conditions, including peak wet weather flows.
 The potential for the larger AquaDisk units to trigger seismic or tsunami code compliance requirements because of tank height and configuration.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 5-6
Other disk filter options offered by qualified manufacturers will also be considered. The selected system will prioritize compatibility with the available clarifier footprint and minimize structural code compliance issues.

5.4 New Membrane Bioreactor Train
The existing MBR system will remain unchanged under the proposed project, except for integration with the new MBR train through the plant’s local control panel and SCADA system. A second MBR process train will be installed by retrofitting one of the existing secondary clarifier basins into bioreactor and membrane tanks.

The new train will use the existing MBR building to house shared infrastructure, including process air blowers, filtrate and permeate pumps, air scour blowers, and the control panel.

Chemical storage and metering systems currently used for the existing MBR will also be shared with the new MBR train to reduce capital and operational costs.

For planning purposes, the secondary clarifier basin selected for retrofit was assumed to be the one closest to the existing MBR. This assumption will be revisited and confirmed during the next design phase, once updated layout and hydraulic analyses are completed.

Table 5-3 summarizes the available bioreactor volume, membrane tank dimensions, and membrane rack configuration. These values are based on preliminary design assumptions and will be refined in collaboration with membrane equipment manufacturers during final design. The new MBR train is expected to receive a portion of the influent flow; because wet weather influent tends to be more diluted, the system may accommodate higher flows under MMWW conditions than during dry weather. This will be considered during membrane sizing and design development.

Permeate from the new membrane system will discharge to the existing filtrate tank, where it will be blended with filtered effluent in the plant’s effluent channel before entering the CCB for disinfection.

WAS from the new MBR train will be directed to the modified secondary clarifier sludge box and pumped to the aerated WAS storage tank, as described in Section 5.8. During the design phase, the option to send WAS directly from the new MBR to the RDT will be evaluated to improve operational flexibility.

5.5 Chlorine Contact Basins (Existing)
No modification to the CCBs is included in this project.

5.6 Equalization
No flow equalization tank will be included in the project. Based on the 2022 to 2024 hourly flow data, the peak hour influent flow could be up to 11.8 MGD. There were two storm events in 2024 that led to the peak hour flow to exceed 10 MGD. With the recommended alternative consisting of an alternative attached growth treatment process and two MBR trains, some of the peak hour flows could be attenuated within the treatment process basins.

5.7 Gravity Thickener
The GT receives primary sludge from the primary settling tank to increase the solids concentration of the digester feed. The supernatant from the GT is returned to the headworks. The GT will be rehabilitated to extend the useful life of the process.

5.8 Waste Activated Sludge Storage
With the anaerobic digester modifications described in Section 5.10, and ongoing operational issues with the existing anerobic digester, including foaming because of varying digester feed rates, equalization of digester feed by WAS storage tank is included in the project. One of the three secondary clarifier basins will be retrofitted into a WAS storage and a digested sludge storage. Tentative volume is approximately 56,000 gallons, taking 52 feet length of the secondary clarifier on the deeper side. Coarse bubble aeration will be provided to keep mixed liquid in suspension. At the flow projected from the NPDES permit MMWW condition, the WAS storage will provide approximately 2 days of storage volume. Aeration blowers will be placed next to the clarifier basin. WAS from both existing and new MBR will be transferred to the WAS storage tank. Stored WAS will be pumped out to the RDT at a controlled pace. The location of WAS pump station will be determined during the design phase. Operational flexibility to send WAS directly from the existing MBR’s WAS line and the new MBR train’s WAS box will be considered.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 5-8

5.9 Rotary Drum Thickener
WAS from the existing MBR and RBC clarifiers is pumped to the RDT to increase the solids concentration of the digester feed. The selected project will send the solids from the attached growth and filtration process back to the headworks. RDT will thicken the WAS from two MBR trains only. To provide consistent digester feed, WAS will be collected into the aerated WAS storage tank constructed into one of the secondary clarifier basins. Aeration will be provided to the storage tank to maintain solids in suspension and avoid the solids becoming anaerobic. The stored WAS will be fed to the digesters via a new set of WAS feed pumps. Location and size of the WAS feed pump will be assessed during the next design phase. There will be no modification to the RDT unit.

5.10 Digesters
There are two digesters currently configured as a two-stage (primary and secondary) anaerobic digestion system. Table 5-4 summarizes the existing digester parameters.

Table 5-4. Digester Parameters
Parameter Units Value
Diameter feet 24
Depth (Primary Digester) feet 25
Depth (Secondary Digester) feet 21.13
Volume (Primary Digester) gallons 84,500
Volume (Secondary Digester) gallons 71,500
Total Volume gallons 156,000
Total Volume cubic feet 20,860
Several key features and pieces of equipment in the digesters are failing or inadequate. The floating covers of both digesters have severe corrosion, with the oldest digester cover having material failure where digester gas can freely escape. The rollers and guides for the floating covers are out of alignment, bent, and corroded, and the covers have tipped in the past. The boiler that provides process heating for the digesters is at the end of its expected life and is difficult to keep operational. No redundant boiler is available. Because the current secondary digester freely lets gas escape because of corrosion and the removed pressure-relief valves, it should not be used as a digester (not heated) in its current condition. As a result, the SRT of the system is low, resulting in poor digester performance and low VS reduction. Operations staff report that the digester has severe foaming issues, which is likely caused by overloading the single operating anaerobic digester.

Currently, there is no sludge storage upstream of digestion, and the sludge feed is intermittent, with long periods between feeding cycles. This intermittent influent can result in poor digester performance as the biology is subjected to uneven feeding. Even feeding typically results in better solids reduction and digester gas production. The WAS storage described in Section 5.8 will provide the flexibility to operate the RDT unit.

However, to stabilize the digester operation, it is recommended that the RDT be operated as consistently as practical to provide consistent feed to the digesters.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 5-9
The existing digester pumped mixing systems, sludge transfer, and sludge recirculation are in good condition and do not require replacement. The digester building is an electrical Class 1, Division 1 area because of its access door within the classified space around the digester tanks. Newer electrical systems are compliant with the classification, but original or older electrical systems, such as lights, receptacles, and some enclosures, are not. Improvements to the ventilation system may be required to increase the airflow rates or replace the motors and controls to comply with electrical code requirements.

Digester gas is collected and can be used to fuel the boiler or is sent to the waste gas burner. Other than providing a sediment and moisture trap, there is no digester gas treatment or cleaning system.

The existing waste gas burner is a candlestick-type that has significant corrosion around the base and attachment hardware. It is approximately 13 feet from the outside of the secondary digester.

5.10.1 Anaerobic Digester Improvements
The first priority is to rehabilitate the existing digestion process so it can adequately treat biosolids for current conditions. To accomplish this, both digesters should be run in a parallel operation mode at a constant volume to provide adequate retention time. It is recommended that the digesters be provided with fixed covers to avoid any tipping/alignment issues that have been occurring in the existing digesters.

The current primary digester (newer digester) does not have a constant top of wall elevation; there is a 2-foot step where the digester shares a wall with the digester control building. To install a fixed cover, the top of wall will need to be raised so that it is all at a uniform elevation.

The existing boiler is a 1.5 million MBH steam system. It requires a feedwater conditioning system and an American Society of Mechanical Engineers certified technician to perform maintenance and repair, which is difficult to find locally. The size is much larger than what is estimated to be required based on the amount of influent flow and heat lost to the environment. It is recommended that at least one new hot water boiler sized at approximately 0.6 MBH be installed. If adequate room exists, it is recommended that a standby 0.6 MBH boiler be installed for redundancy. An existing steam-to-hot water heat exchanger, water conditioning system, and steam condenser can be removed and replaced with new hot water piping, control valves, and water circulation pumps.

If the new boiler(s) are to be fueled with digester gas, it is recommended to add a digester gas conditioning system to remove hydrogen sulfide and moisture from the gas. This will decrease the amount of corrosion to the boiler to extend its lifespan. A set of vessels with ferric hydroxide-impregnated ceramic media will remove hydrogen sulfide, and a two-stage chilled water heat exchanger will remove moisture in the digester gas. The boilers should also be supplied with a secondary fuel, such as natural gas or diesel for backup.

5.10.2 Digested Sludge Storage
Because the anaerobic digesters will be operated in parallel after implementation of this project, there is less flexibility to hold digested sludge within the digester tanks. To allow operators to hold off dewatering for a limited period, a digested sludge storage tank will be added by retrofitting part of the west secondary clarifier. The digested sludge storage will be along with the WAS storage tank, and it will be covered to control odor and methane emissions. Offgas from the headspace of the digested sludge storage will be introduced to the WAS aeration to mitigate the odor emission. There will be a digested sludge pump station within the clarifier basin to send the stored sludge to dewatering.

Digested sludge piping will be modified to divert the digested sludge from the digesters into the storage tank via existing sludge pump station within the digester building. The allocated volume for digested sludge storage is approximately 32,500 gallons occupying about 30 feet of the clarifier length. At this storage volume, digested sludge produced at the projected NPDES ADWF condition can be stored about 3 days.

Crescent City WWTP RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project 250911112115_57ee610a 5-10

5.10.3 Digester Gas Flare
The waste gas burner is on the west side of GT and the anaerobic digester. When the burner reaches the end of its useful life, it is recommended to install an enclosed-type waste gas burner to reduce the setback distance requirements. The industry standard for determining required setbacks from waste gas burners is CSA/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B149.6:20, Code for digester gas, landfill gas, and biogas generation and utilization. Because the CSA/ANSI code is not a mandatory requirement for the existing system, it is not required to be relocated now.

5.11 Belt Filter Press
The facility’s solids dewatering is currently performed using a single 1.5-meter BFP, manufactured by Ashbrook-Simon-Hartley, within the solids handling building. Based on plant operating data, the belt filter press consistently produces a cake solids concentration of 12% to 15% TS from digested sludge.

The system is designed for continuous operation with minimal operator oversight; however, under current conditions, the belt press typically operates 8 to 10 hours per day, 7 days per week, and requires a higher level of operator attention than originally intended. The facility includes a bypass line that allows for liquid disposal of sludge, which provides operational flexibility for managing different disposal strategies and site availability.

The BFP has a rated solids loading capacity of 38,400 lb/day and a hydraulic loading capacity of 300 gpm.

This capacity is considered sufficient to accommodate future flows and solids loads resulting from the selected project improvements.

The existing BFP was originally installed in 2005, and although it remains functional, it is approaching the end of its useful life. As such, BFP replacement will be evaluated and included in the next phase of design or future capital improvement planning.

5.12 Miscellaneous Improvements
Other recommended improvements that do not fit in the previous categories include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) improvements. The BFP building has a squirrel cage type fan and a motor that needs to be rebuilt. In the chemical room, the HVAC needs to be replaced because stainless steel is not compatible with sodium bisulfite.

5.13 Summary of Recommended Improvements
Figure 5-5 presents a revised process flow diagram of the WWTF showing the recommended improvements per Alternative 3.

BACKGROUND
On November 3, 2020, the voters of the City approved Measure S, authorizing the imposition of a local 1% transactions and use (sales) tax within the City. The Ordinance was formally adopted by the City Council on December 7, 2020. The collection of the tax began on April 1, 2021. Measure S is intended to fund essential General Fund services including Fire, Police, Streets, and the operation of Fred Endert Pool.

The Measure S Oversight Committee meets several times each year to discuss the use of these funds and makes recommendations to the City Council. The Committee met April 8th and April 17, 2025 to review the status of Measure S funds and develop a recommendation for FY 2025-26 expenditures. The final result of those meetings was the adoption of Resolution No. MS2025-02 recommending priorities to be funded with MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025 CONTRACT AWARD

2 Measure S in FY 25-26. It was recommended that the City fund two projects in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 with each project being in value of approximately $600,000 utilizing Measure S funds for street preservation. At the June 16, 2025 City Council meeting, the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget was adopted including the recommendations made by the Measure S Oversight Committee.

The Measure S Street Repair Project Fall FY25-26 was put out to bid on August 19, 2025.

Bids were opened and read aloud publicly on September 23, 2025 at 2:00pm at 377 J Street. A second Measure S Street Repair project will be let out in the Spring of FY25- 26 to fulfill the guidelines established by the Measure S Committee and the City Council.

ITEM ANALYSIS
The City received four responsive bids, with ST Rhoades Construction Inc. being the apparent low bidder. No bid protests were submitted during the protest period. ST Rhoades Construction Inc. has supplied a responsive bid including the bid schedule, bid guarantee bond, a list of proposed subcontractors, the certification of their experience and qualifications, and the non-collusion affidavit. ST Rhoades Construction Inc. has a Crescent City business license, has a current and active A General Engineering license with the Contractors State License Board, is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations, and is not on the suspension or debarment listings with State of California.

The Notice of Award was mailed on September 26, 2025 to ST Rhoades Construction Inc.

ST Rhoades Construction Inc. $349,801.00
Darren Taylor Construction, Inc. $542,683.55
GR Sundberg, Inc. $722,245.00
Tidewater Contractors, Inc. $430,068.00
Contract award is based on the Base Bid amount only. ST Rhoades Construction Inc. provided the lowest bid. Based on the available funding and the pricing received, staff recommends awarding the Base Bid for in the amount of $349,801.

The intent of this project was to invest approximately $600,000 of Measure S money into the repair of City Streets in the fall of 2025. The City received competitively bid unit cost values below the anticipated costs. Staff has constructed a Change Order to include additional street repairs to fit within the scope of the bid project. Future designed Measure S projects included additional road repairs to 8th Street. As this Fall FY25 project includes repairs to 8th Street from A Street to just east of D Street, we wish to expand our repairs of 8th Street from this end point on 8th Street to west of H Street on 8th. Change Order #1 extends these paving repairs on 8th Street, as well as the contractor’s increased costs for mobilization, traffic control, the associated striping and resetting the effected manholes and valve boxes. It is anticipated that this change order will repair an additional 24,000 square feet of road surface and place an additional 490 tons of asphalt. The cost for this additional work is $152,415.00.

Additionally, staff requests $50,000 for a 10 percent project contingency.

BY: DAVID YEAGER, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR

CLIFF VAN HOOK, ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGER
DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2025
SUBJECT: FRED ENDERT POOL HVAC PROJECT NOTICE OF COMPLETION ______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Authorize the City Manager to sign and file a Notice of Completion for the Crescent City Fred Endert Pool Roof Replacement Project (Contract #2025- 1087).

BACKGROUND
The Fred Endert Municipal Swimming Pool is owned and operated by the City of Crescent City and has been serving the community of Crescent City and Del Norte County since 1966. During a renovation project in 2008, the spa was installed, an ADA bathroom was installed, the locker rooms and lobby were remodeled, the mechanical room had repairs and upgrades, and the pool deck was improved. In 2015, a new asphalt shingle roof was installed.

In Fiscal Year 2025, the City of Crescent City completed the Fred Endert Pool HVAC Project and the Fred Endert Pool Deck and Locker Room Flooring Project. This included two new boilers, two new air handlers with dehumidification capabilities, new exhaust fans, and new epoxy flooring throughout the facility. During this construction time frame when the pool was empty and the air was dryer, it was discovered that following heavy rains water was penetrating the roof system through hundreds of small holes. Water would not drip through the ceiling until the roofing system became saturated from a series of storm events. It was determined that some of the moisture dropping from the ceiling was penetrating rainwater and not condensed moisture from a pool air-handling system lacking dehumidification.

A local roofing contractor conducted an exploratory investigation to try to pinpoint the cause of the leaks. It was determined that the acidity of the bird droppings was damaging

2 the asphalt shingles. On a dry day, you can see the shingles have small, corroded areas which allow slow leaks to start working their way through the underlayment.

Due to the extent of the damage to the roofing membrane, a full roof replacement was warranted. Staff brought the need for a roof replacement to Council at the March 3, 2025 Council meeting. At that time, staff recommended installing a standing seam metal roof due to its ability to withstand our coastal environment. A similar roof had already been installed at the City owned Cultural Center. This recommendation was discussed with the Measure S Oversight Committee at their April 8 budget discussion, and the Committee approved including Measure S funding for a portion of this project. The project was also discussed at the City’s May 13-14 budget workshop, and the Council directed staff to include the proposed $100,000 in Measure S funding and $175,000 from the General Fund in the FY 25-26 budget.

On June 2, 2025, the Fred Endert Pool Roof Replacement Project was advertised. Two addenda were issued, and 4 bids were received on June 26, 2025. Red Sky Roofing was the low bid, which came in at $179,910 for the base bid and bid additive 1. On July 7, 2025, the City Council approved and authorized City Manager to sign an agreement with Red Sky, Inc to perform the project.

The Fred Endert Pool was closed to the public, and construction began on August 18, 2025. The project was substantially completed on September 5, 2025, and was re-opened to the public on September 8, 2025.

SUBJECT: US ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION (EDA) GRANT ACCEPTANCE TO UPDATE THE 2019-2024 DEL NORTE COUNTY
COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS).
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement and any amendments thereto for EDA funding in the amount of $76,000 to update the 2019-2024 Del Norte County CEDS.
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2025-46, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY

BACKGROUND
For federal fiscal year (FY) 2023, the US Economic Development Administration (EDA) was appropriated $39.5 million for the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) grant program and released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for these funds on March 15, 2023. Subject to the availability of funds, awards made under this NOFO will assist communities and regions in devising and implementing long-term economic development efforts through a variety of non-construction and construction projects.

Under this program, EDA assists eligible recipients in creating regional and local economic development plans designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resilience of an area or region. EAA investments are designed to help communities catalyze public-private partnerships to foster collaboration, attract investment, and create jobs.

EDA CEDS GRANT AWARD ACCEPTANCE
OCTOBER 6, 2025
2 The current countywide CEDS was adopted by the City, County, and Harbor District in March of 2020 and covers years 2019-2024. This planning document expired at the end of 2024. In August of 2024 City staff submitted an application for EDA funding in the amount of $76,000 with an in-kind match of $34,350 to update the existing CEDS. On September 17, 2025, the City received notice that a full award of $76,000 had been issued.

ITEM ANALYSIS
The countywide CEDS provides a guide for accomplishing the City’s economic development goals and will be a requirement for other funding opportunities. The City will be partnering with the County of Del Norte and the Crescent City Harbor District to complete the update and will include a number of community stakeholders in the process. The period of performance for this grant will be from September 1, 2025 to February 28, 2027. Some of the tools used and data collected for this plan will also help inform several other City projects currently underway, such as the Downtown Specific Plan and the Business Assistance Loan Program. If execution of the grant agreement is authorized by the Council, staff will issue a request for proposals to procure an economic development consultant to complete the scope of work.

As you may recall, the City also applied for funding through EDA to complete Phase II of the Downtown Specific Plan and had initially received a conditional award along with the CEDS application, before the change in administration. We have since been informed that this application has been moved to the FY26 funding cycle. We have been assured that this does not mean the application was denied, yet it is not clear what the next steps are to move this application forward at this time.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
If Council approves the award, the City will receive a total of $76,000 in grant funding for the countywide CEDS to implement this multi-agency project. The grant requires a 30% match, or $34,350, which can be in the form of in-kind services, over the next year and a half, split among the participating agencies. The City has agreed to contribute $15,000 in staff time; the County has agreed to contribute $12,083.20 in staff time and $1,050 in facility rental fees; and the Crescent City Harbor District has agreed to contribute $6,217 in staff time. EDA grant funding operates on a reimbursement basis, so the City will need to expend the funds first and then request reimbursement for the grant funds.

STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT
This action supports the following Strategic Plan goals:
• Goal 1: Support quality services, community safety, and health to enhance the quality of life and experience of our residents and visitors • Goal 1(A): Enhance collaboration with other agencies and the community to better aid the public

7. Federal Share
The EDA participation in total eligible project costs will be limited to the lesser of the EDA grant amount or the EDA share of total allowable project costs (as stated on the Notice of Award or the most recent Amendment).

8. Final Project Progress Reports (Non Construction)
A final project progress report must be submitted no more than 120 calendar days after the Authorized Award End Date, unless an extension is granted in writing by EDA. Final Project Reports may be posted on EDA’s website, used for promotional materials or policy reviews, or otherwise shared. Recipients should not include any copyrighted or other sensitive business information in these reports. There is no page limit for Final Project Reports; however, such reports should concisely communicate key project information and should: i. Provide a high-level overview of the activities undertaken; ii. Outline the specific regional need the project was designed to address and explain how the project addressed that need and advanced economic development; iii. Document the expected and actual economic benefits of the project as of the time the report is written; iv.

Final Financial Reports should follow the instructions for submitting mid-term financial reports, but should ensure that all fields accurately reflect the total outlays for the entire project period and that all matching funds and program income (if applicable) are fully reported. Determination of the final grant rate and final balances owed to the government will be determined based on the information on the final Form SF-425, so it is imperative that it be submitted in a timely and accurate manner.

11. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
EDA is responsible for meeting its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. § 552) responsibilities for its records. DOC regulations at 15 C.F.R. part 4 set forth the requirements and procedures that EDA must follow in order to make the requested material, information, and records publicly available. Unless prohibited by law and to the extent required under the FOIA, contents of applications and other information submitted by applicants and recipients may be released in response to a FOIA request.

In the event that EDA determines that its assistance was used for those purposes, EDA retains the right to pursue appropriate enforcement action in accord with 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.339 through 200.343 and the DOC STCs, including suspension of disbursements and termination of the Award, which may include the establishment of a debt requiring the Recipient to reimburse EDA.

14. Performance Measures Requirements (Non-construction) The Annual Program Outputs Questionnaire for EDA Grantees (Non-Infrastructure Programs) (Form ED-916) must be submitted by Recipient to EDA on an annual basis during the period of performance of this Award, or as otherwise directed by EDA. EDA will provide Recipient with the first electronic Outputs Questionnaire approximately one year after the date the period of performance starts, as set forth in the Notice of Award.

For the Planning, University Center and Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms programs, the ED-917 or ED-918 forms must be submitted by Recipient to EDA on an annual basis, through the end of the period of performance, or any portion thereof if applicable. If Recipient will directly serve clients (i.e. beneficiaries) under the Authorized Scope of Work, Recipient must submit Form ED-917; if Recipient will not directly serve clients under the Authorized Scope of Work, Recipient must submit Form ED-918. (Recipient should consult the EDA project officer listed on the Notice of Award if Recipient is unsure whether activities in the Authorized Scope of Work constitute serving clients.) Recipient will automatically receive whichever Outcomes Questionnaire is most appropriate, as determined by the EDA project officer, for the Authorized Scope of Work. EDA will provide Recipient with the first electronic Outcomes Questionnaire approximately one year after the date the period of performance starts, as set forth in the Notice of Award. EDA will then provide Recipient subsequent electronic Outcomes Questionnaires approximately every 12 months thereafter for a total of five years, notwithstanding the end of the period of performance. Recipient must complete and submit to EDA each Outcomes Questionnaire within 30 days of receipt.

EDA may revise or replace the Outputs Questionnaire and/or the Outcomes Questionnaire at any time during or following the period of performance of this Award. Recipient agrees to report on program performance measures and program outcomes in such form and at such intervals as may be prescribed by EDA in compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 and the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (collectively, GPRA Reports). Recipient must collect sufficient data and retain sufficient documentation to enable Recipient to complete required GPRA Reports. Failure to submit to EDA required GPRA Reports might adversely impact the ability of the Recipient to secure future funding from EDA.

15. Planning Coordination

20. Reaffirmation of Application
Recipient acknowledges that Recipient’s Application for this Award may have been submitted to EDA and signed by Recipient, or by an authorized representative of Recipient, electronically without providing an original “wet” signature. In addition, the Recipient or an authorized representative of Recipient may have accepted the Award electronically, which includes drawing down any funds under this Award. Regardless of who submitted the Application to EDA or the means by which Recipient submitted the Application or accepted the Award, Recipient hereby reaffirms and states that:
i. All data in the applicable Application were true and correct when the Application was submitted and remain true and correct as of the date of this Award; ii. The Application was, as of the date of submission and the date of this Award, duly authorized as required by local law by the governing body of the Recipient; and iii. Recipient has read, understood, and will comply with all terms of this Award, including the Assurances and Certifications submitted with, or attached to, the Application and through the System for Award Management (SAM.gov).

The Recipient agrees to immediately notify the EDA of any material changes to the Application within 30 calendar days of the date the Recipient becomes of aware of such changes. For purposes of this provision, the term “Application” includes all documentation and any information provided to EDA as part of, and in furtherance to, the request for funding, including submissions made in response to information requested by EDA after submission of the initial Application.

21. Recipient's Duty to Refrain from Employing Certain Government Employees For the two-year period beginning on the date the EDA executes this Award, any Recipient(s) that is a nonprofit organization or District Organization agrees that it will not employ, offer any office or employment to, or retain for professional services any person who, on the date the EDA executes this Award or within the one-year period ending on that date:
a. Served as an officer, attorney, agent, or employee of the Department of Commerce; and b. Occupied a position or engaged in activities that the Assistant Secretary of Commerce determines involved discretion with respect to the Award of Investment Assistance under PWEDA.

In addition to nonprofit organizations or District Organizations, EDA may require another Eligible Recipient to execute an agreement to abide by the above-described post-employment restriction on a case-by-case basis; for example, when an institution of higher education implements activities under or related to the Award through a separate nonprofit organization or association.

The two-year period and associated restrictions referenced above also shall apply beginning on the date the EDA executes any cost amendment to this Award that provides additional funds to the Recipient(s).

22. Refund Checks, Interest, or Unused Funds
If the Recipient needs to return money to EDA, it may use one of the following two methods:
i. The first is the pay.gov website, which allows the Recipient to pay EDA online. The Recipient will have the option to make a one-time payment or to set up an account to make regular payments. ii. The second is paper check conversion. All checks must be made payable to “Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration” and include the award number and a description of no more than two words identifying the reason for the payment. A copy of the check should be provided to the EDA Project Officer. The check should be mailed to NOAA’s Accounting Office, which processes EDA’s accounting functions, at the following address:

NOAA OCFO
Attn: Finance Office, Travel Dept.
1315 East West Highway, SSMC3
Silver Spring, MD 20910
When funds are remitted to EDA by check, the check will be converted into an electronic funds transfer (EFT) by using the account information on the check to debit the payor’s account electronically. The debit from the payor’s account will usually occur within 24 hours. If the EFT cannot be completed because of insufficient funds, EDA will charge a one-time fee of $25.00, which will be collected by EFT.

23. Scope of Work
This EDA Award supports the work described in the approved final scope of work, which is incorporated by reference into this Award, as the Authorized Scope of Work (Attachment 1).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR ALTMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2025
SUBJECT: ALTERNATE PROCEDURES FOR PUBLIC NOTICE
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions for staff
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Waive full reading, read by title only, and introduce Ordinance No. 858, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Crescent City Adding Section

1.04.080, Public Notice Alternate Procedure, to Chapter 1.04, General Provisions, of Title 1, General Provisions, of the Crescent City Municipal Code

BACKGROUND
As a local government agency, the City is often required to give the general public notice of upcoming public hearings on certain public business, including Zoning Code amendments, land use permits, setting of fees and charges, the annual adoption of the military equipment use policy, adoption of the annual budget, the annual report on employment vacancies, the annual delinquent sewer assessments, and many others.

There are also various items of public business that are not public hearings which also require public notice, such as formal bid solicitations and adopted ordinances.

State law often requires that public notice be given by publishing said notice in a “newspaper of general circulation” within the City. Government Code Section 6000 defines a “newspaper of general circulation” is defined as “published for the dissemination of local or telegraphic news and intelligence of a general character, which has a bona fide subscription list of paying subscribers, and has been established, printed and published at regular intervals in the State, county, or city where publication, notice by publication, or official advertising is to be given or made for at least one year preceding the date of the publication, notice or advertisement.” Additionally, a newspaper must be published at least once per calendar week.

PUBLIC NOTICE ALTERNATE PROCEDURE
OCTOBER 6, 2025
2 The Triplicate recently announced that the September 17 th edition of the Triplicate was
its last. Staff began preparing for how to conduct business without a newspaper of general circulation for the publishing of public notices. Most state statutes allow an alternate procedure when there is no newspaper of general circulation. This alternate procedure generally consists of posting the notice in the three public locations within the City.

Alternatively, some statutes direct that notice be published in the nearest newspaper of general circulation.

Over the course of time, as the City’s municipal code has developed, various sections of the Code comply with state law by requiring notice be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City. These ordinances, however, did not identify an alternate procedure. Thus, although the City would be complying with state law in posting public notices in three public locations, the City would technically be in violation of the municipal code. The purpose of the requested action tonight is to amend the municipal code to include alternative publication procedures.

ITEM ANALYSIS
Recently, Dan Schmidt announced that he had purchased the Triplicate. So long as the Triplicate maintains its legal designation as a newspaper of general circulation, continues to be published at least one per week, and circulates within the City, public notices will continue to be published in the Triplicate. However, staff were prepared to follow the alternative procedure and recommend that the Council amend the municipal code to allow for that alternative procedure if the City no longer has a newspaper of general circulation in the future.

The ordinance adds Section 1.04.080 to the municipal code. This new section authorizes the City to utilize state law alternative procedures when there is no newspaper of general circulation being circulated within the City.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
This action will not have a fiscal impact.

STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS
This item supports the following strategic plan goals:
• Goal 1: Support Quality Services, Community Safety, and Health to Enhance the Quality of Life and Experience of Our Resident and Visitors • Goal 3: Obtain the Highest Levels of Organizational Excellence
