EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT a. Compliance and Operational Status Report (ITEM Fla) First Quarter Report The Plant average flow for the fiscal year is 16.30 MGD. Of this flow, Delray's flow is 6.78 MGD accounting for 41.59% and Boynton Beach's flow is 9.52 MGD accounting for 58.41 % . Two of our main operating parameters used to determine how effectively the Plant is operating are total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Carbonaceous Biological Oxygen Demand (CBOD) Our average TSS and CBOD were 0.53 and 1.02 mg /L. This constitutes a removal of over 99% of all (TSS) and a removal of over 99% of all (CBOD), well above the removal limits required (85%) by the Board's FDEP Operating Permit. b. Florida Department of Environmental Protection Annual Compliance inspection (ITEM F2b) The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Palm Beach County Health Department conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board facility site on Monday, October 7, 2013 to assure compliance with the State of Florida's federally approved National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Wastewater Permitting Program. As a result of the inspection, the facility site was found to be in compliance with our NPDES Operating Permit. C. Permit Renewal Application (ITEM F2c) The Board's Operating Permit was issued on July 28, 2009. The Operating Permit expires on July 27, 2014. We are required to apply for renewal of this permit at least 180 days before the expiration date of the permit. Board staff and Hazen and Sawyer worked in cooperation to compile the required historical performance information for the Capacity Analysis Report (CAR) and the Operation and Maintenance Performance Report (OMPR), portions of the permit renewal application. A draft copy of the complete permit renewal application package, including both the CAR and OMPR, was finalized on January 7, 2013 pending review and comments. It is anticipated that the final version of the completed renewal submittal package will be delivered to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency by the mid January 2014.

Report of Executive Director's Committee 2. AUTHORIZATION TO APPROVE PURCHASE OF FIVE (5) RECLAIM FLOW MONITORING STATIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $40,000. TO BEFUNDED FROM THE BOARD'S REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT ACCOUNT. (ITEM J2) In an effort to comply with the 2008 Ocean Outfall Elimination Law, a plan to eliminate ocean outfall disposal and to use this water resource to increase reclaim water usage, the Board has to maximize the amount of reclaim water available to Delray and Boynton Beach for their respective reclaim waterprograms. The Board's five (5) original golf course customer agreements must be modified. The original agreements do not allow for any reduction in daily allotments even during drought periods. The result of this is that the Board must maintain 6.65 MGD of reclaim water specifically for their use even though typical daily usage is roughly 3.3 MGD (or 50% of their allotments). In order for us to modify the agreements we must be able to accurately assess their daily usage. Installing these new meters will provide us with real time flow data that we can use to identify peak/off- -peak flow periods and adjust the new contracts accordingly. K. PUBLIC AUDIENCE L.
