Exceedance of Sodium Limits at the Carlsba~~er Recycling Facility
This memorandum provides updated information regarding an exceedance of the sodium limit at
the Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility (CWRF). The original City Council memorandum dated
Jan. 30, 2020, and the first update dated Feb. 20, 2020, are included as Attachments A and B,
respectively.
Background
On Jan. 22, 2020, per the May 1, 2005, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between
Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA) and the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD)
(Attachment C), EWA staff notified CMWD staff that the annual 60% sodium limit for calendar
year 2019 had been exceeded at CWRF. The 60% sodium limitation is based on a percentage of
dissolved cations (positively charged ions).
Discussion
Because of the violation, the current monitoring frequency was increased from quarterly to
monthly. Monthly monitoring started in January 2020, with the sodium limitation reported above
60% in January, February and March. Since April 2020, all water test results have been below
maximum sodium limits. The regulation limit is an average annual limit.
Please note that Attachments A and B were addressed to the City Council. However, in light of
the 2005 MOU between EWA and CMWD (Attachment C), they should have been addressed to
the CMWD Board of Directors.
Next Steps
CMWD staff will continue working with EWA staff as they monitor the sodium levels on a
monthly basis. Due to the reported levels below 60%, an action plan is not needed at this time.

Ref: F&HR.04-4222
This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into as of May 1, 2005 by and between the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District, hereinafter referred to as "DISTRICT", and, Encina Wastewater
Authority, hereinafter referred to as "EWA", with respect to the following facts:
RECITALS
Whereas, DISTRICT owns the Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility, the Granular Media Filter
Pump Station (GMF), the Microfiltration Pump Station (MF) and certain appurtenances associated
with the Combined Pump Station (CPS) at the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF);
and,
Whereas, Section 12.1.3 of the Revised Basic Agreement for Ownership, Operation and
Maintenance of a Joint Sewerage System (RBA) states that EWA "shall have the authority to
operate and maintain other facilities outside the · Joint System as recommended unanimously by
EWA's Joint Advisory Committee and in accordance with Operator/Administrator executed
operation agreements, which may include budgeting responsibilities;" and,
Whereas, for the purposes of this Memorandum of Understanding, the Carlsbad Water
Recycling Facility, GMF and MF as shown in Attachment 1 shall be collectively re~rred to as the
"Facilities;" and,
Whereas, the DISTRICT does not intend that EWA operate or maintain the Carlsbad
Recycled Water Pump Station as shown in Attachment 2, and is distinguished from those CPS
elements the DISTRICT does intend EWA to operate and maintain . under this Memorandum of
Understanding; and,
Whereas, DISTRICT desires EWA to operate and maintain the Facilities and EWA is willing
to provide such services, subject to written terms and conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, obligations and covenants set forth
herein, the DISTRICT and EWA set forth the following Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). ·
· ARTICLE I: SCOPE OF WORK
Specific services to be provided by EWA hereunder are detailed in Attachment 3, Scope of
Work for Transition Period for Operation and Maintenance for the District Water Recycling Facilities
and Attachment 4, Scope of Work for Annual Operation and Maintenance for the DISTRICT Water
Recycling Facilities. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the attachments and this

Carlsbad Municipal Water District Water Recycling Facility
F&HR-04-4222.2
ARTICLE II: BUDGETING
A DISTRICT shall compensate EWA for all reasonable expenses associated with the
operation, maintenance and administration of the Facilities, in accordance with annual budgets to
be developed and recommended by EWA and adopted by DISTRICT and the EWA Board of
Directors.
B. The Facilities' Transition Period Budget described in Attachment 5 shall take effect
upon the effective date of this MOU and shall continue in effect until June 30, 2005.
' C. EWA shall prepare Operation & Maintenance and Capital Improvement Program
budgets for the Facilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, the Revised Establishment Document for the Encina Wastewater Authority
(RED) and the RBA. .
1. In accordance with the RBA and not later than May 1 of each year, EWA
shall prepare, concurrently with the preparation of the EWPCF Operation & Maintenance
Budget, an estimated budget of the amount of money required to operate and maintain the
Facilities including, but not limited to: salaries and benefits costs, building and equipment
maintenance costs, utilities, chemicals, permits and permit amendment costs, accounting and
auditing, administration, legal services, overhead, insurance and other costs as required to
operate, maintain and administer the Facilities in conformance with this MOLi.
2. Concurrently with the preparation of the EWPCF Capital Improvement
Program Budget and not later than May 1 of each year, EWA shall prepare estimated Capital
Acquisitlons (Acquisitions) and Planned Asset Replacement (PAR) budgets. The Acquisitions
and PAR budgets shall maintain the reliability · and safety of the Facilities and ensure
compliance with applicable regulatory requirements through the planned repair or replacement
of structures, equipment and other property so long as no such acquisition or PAR materially
alters the designed capacity or operating characteristics of the Facilities. EWA may suggest
capital improvements that would materially alter the designed capacity or operating characteristics
of the Facilities provided such improvements are estimated to require expenditures of $50,000 or
less. EWA shall have no obligation to accept responsibility for budgeting or undertaking such
improvements except as otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing.
3. Except as otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing, DISTRICT shall

comment on plans for the proposed improvements in order to gauge operations and maintenance
consequences. Any such contract shall require DISTRICT'S contractor to name EWA as additional
insured as to any insurance required of the contractor by the awarding agency and as to which the
awarding agency will be insured, provided that EWA need not be an insured under any required
bid, performance or payment bond.

Carlsbad Municipal Water District Water Recycling Facility
F&HR-04-4222.3
D. Following approval by the EWA Board of Directors, estimated budgets shall be
forwarded to DISTRICT for approval. The estimated budgets shall be deemed effective upon the
receipt by EWA of a certified copy of an approving resolution or minute order by DISTRICT. Until
such time as formal approval has been received from DISTRICT, the estimated budgets shall
constitute merely proposed budgets, subject to consideration or revision. In the event a proposed
budget is not approved by the DISTRICT, EWA shall continue to operate and maintain the Facilities
subject to expenditure limits specified in the budgets most recently approved by the DISTRICT .
. ARTICLE Ill: FUNDING
A. For the purposes of this MOU, responsibility for expenses incurred by EWA and
related to the Facilities shall be allocated to and paid by DISTRICT.

independent financial audit will reconcile the amount paid by the DISTRICT for services provided
under the authority of this MOU to the actual amount owed by the DISTRICT for services provided
under the authority of this MOU. The reconciling amount shall appear, and be credited or debited to
the DISTRICT, on the next regular quarterly billing following the EWA Board of Directors adoption of
the independent financial audit for the fiscal year being reconciled.

the Encina Wastewater Authority Amending the Encina Wastewater Authority's Financial Reserve
Policy" requires that any members agency for whom EWA operates a remote facility deposits with
EWA $50,000. EWA already operates a remote facility for DISTRICT, and a previous deposit was
made, therefore, no additional deposit is required at this time.
ARTICLE IV: PERMITTING
Except as otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing, DISTRICT shall be responsible
for all costs and activities related to the issuance, amendment or renewal authority of any regulatory
permit required or which may become required by the State of California, including, but not limited

America in the operation and/or maintenance of the Facilities or any other permit required at
DISTRICT's facilities. EWA is not responsible for obtaining, renewing, or amending any permit at
the Facilities. EWA shall coordinate with DISTRICT during preparation of the EWA's annual
