Who is VRSD?
� Enterprise public agency � Organized in 1970 � Eight charter cities and eight special districts
� Serves sanitation needs of 600,000 people: � Solid waste disposal / landfill management � Wastewater collection and treatment � Recycled and potable water service
� Nine-member Board, 65 employees

What are Biosolids?
� Organic materials resulting from highly processed WWTP operations
� Ventura County produces 8,000 tons every month
� Prior to this project, 90% were exported out of Ventura County

The Challenge
� Restrictions limiting export options � Measure E in Kern County
� Increasing costs � Need for a local solution

The Solution
� Regional facility to process biosolids
� Powered by landfill gas
� Batch drying – 160 tons/day
� Multi-use end product
� Green energy – self-sustained system
� Additional electricity exported to grid

Funding
� Capital � Combination cash & debt � $1 million SGIP grant
� Operations: $42/ton � 10-year contracts with cities of Fillmore,
Oxnard, Ventura, and Thousand Oaks • Trucking costs add approximately $10/ton
� Rate factors: � 3.5% annual increase first five years � 10-year SCE contract for energy sales
($.10 per kWh) 11

Environmental Benefits
� Pathogen Destruction (pasteurization) � Air Quality
� Reduced truck traffic (est. 1 million miles per year) � 1,800 ton / yr. CO2 reduction
� Recycling � Dried solids (ADC, fertilizer, fuel) � Reclaimed water (dust control) � Renewable power from landfill gas � No energy from grid – added power for the grid

Start-Up Issues - Biosolids � Air pollution permitting – modifications to standard burners
caused problems: - High heat caused refractory/insulation burn-through- Multiple retrofits required
� Biofilter for air treatment – sensitive to: - Temperature- Air velocity over filter media- Food mass ratio
� Remedial measures in place
