AGENDA REPORT
FOR
RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO THE
AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING OF THE PETALUMA INDUSTRIAL WATER SURVEY
AND INCENTIVE DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM WITH
TBT; SONOMA COUNTY WATER AGENCY
AND
RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR
THE INDUSTRIAL WATER SURVEY AND INCENTIVE DEMONSTRATION
PROJECT WITH PACIFIC TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Pacific Technology team, working with Sola Optical USA, Inc., senior technology staff, has
developed a plan to determine cost-effective water saving strategies for this high-tech facility.
Implementation will require a $60,000 investment which is shared with the Sonoma County
Water Agency: $25,000 for professional services (City funds subject to Council approval) and
$35,000 for instrumentation/metering equipment (Agency funds subject to Board approval).
The $25,000 City funds for professional services are available in the City of Petaluma's share of
the funding provided via Amendment #10 to the Agreement for Water Supply and Construction
of the Russian River-Cotati Intertie Project, approved by the Agency's Board of Directors.
2. BACKGROUND:
The City of Petaluma's Water Conservation Program includes development and implementation
of various water conservation measures that will reduce the amount of water used by the
customers of Petaluma's Water Utility System, as well as reduce the amount of water discharged
to Petaluma's Wastewater Treatment and Disposal System.
An estimated $2,780,083 of funding will be available over the next 10 years to the City for water
conservation measures and water reuse programs. These funds are identified in City's portion of
the Sonoma County Water Agency Draft Water Conservation Plan with the goal to reduce water
demands on the transmission system.
In 1997, the City of Petaluma initiated a 10 -year Commercial/Industrial Water Survey and
Incentive Program with the goal to obtain 10% participation with 10 acre-feet per year (AFY)
estimated water savings. During the first two program years a customized commercial/industrial
water survey and incentive program was developed for Mishi Apparel. The pilot study
determined the magnitude of potential water and wastewater savings. The Bay Institute of San
Francisco worked on Petaluma's programs from grant funds awarded from the Rose Foundation
for Communities and Environment. Mishi Apparel is implementing the water efficiency
recommendations in phases. They are currently in the first phase which includes replacing
existing washing machines with front -loading, horizontal axis machines.
The second demonstration site will be Sola Optical USA, Inc., headquartered in Petaluma,
manufacturers of approximately 1/3 of all ophthalmic lenses worn in the United States. The
Pacific Technology team will purchase instrumentation equipment (clamp -on flow meters,
associated data loggers, and related data integration services) and perform an extensive water
efficiency evaluation including:
• Develop a dynamic water balance for the plant, including indoor and outdoor uses. There is
currently a single City water meter for all uses.
• Evaluate the water use in cast cleaning, coating and edging processes.
• Evaluate potential water efficiency improvements.
The Pacific Technology team estimates that these two demonstration projects (M'ishi Apparel
and Sola Optical USA, Inc.) will together save as much water as was predicted for the entire
first -generation CommerciaUIndustrial Survey and Incentive program proposed for Petaluma by
the Montgomery Watson Report in 1995.
3. ALTERNATIVES
• Defer the program.
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS
$25,000 - City funded services are available in the City of Petaluma's share of the funding
provided via Amendment 910 to the Agreement for Water Supply and Construction of the
Russian River-Cotati Intertie Project, approved by the Agency's Board of Directors.
$35,000 - Sonoma County Water Agency Funds.
5. CONCLUSION
The City should implement this second demonstration project; it is a stepping -stone to expanding
this Commercial Industrial Survey and Incentive Program to Petaluma's remaining 850+
commercial, industrial and institutional customers.
The City of Petaluma should continue to expand water conservation programs in order to
preserve and protect existing water resources, to improve the likelihood that additional water
resources will be available in the future and to help defer capital cost for expansion of City water
and wastewater facilities.
b. RE, COlVfMENDATION

enter into an Agreement for Funding of The Petaluma Industrial Water Survey and Incentive
Demonstration Program with the Sonoma County Water Agency, and the Professional Services

The City of Petaluma's (City) Water Conservation Program includes development and implementation of
various water conservation measures that will reduce the amount of water use by the customers of Petaluma's
Water Utility System, as well as reduce the amount of water discharged to Petaluma's Wastewater Treatment

ATTACHMENT A
OUTLINE FOR WATER EFFICIENCY EVALUATION
SOLA Optical USA, Inc. • PetaIuma, CA
TASK ;1: PLANT WATER BALANCE
The plant has a single City water meter for all uses. The first task will be to develop a dynamic
water balance for the plant, including indoor and outdoor uses.
The main outdoor use is irrigation (front and back separately), which will be estimated from (a)
observing the City flowmeter while the irrigation system is on and production is lowest (e. g. on a
Sunday), and (b) reviewing the seasonal frequencies and durations of irrigation.
The City water used inside the plant can be separated into three main categories:
• Deionized process water (DI water), constituting most of the demand, will be measured
for hourly demand. .
• Sanitary, likely a small fraction of the total, will be calculated as the difference between
inflow to the plant and process water discharged to the sewer (the discharge point is just
upstream of the sanitary drain). This will be checked against the usage typically expected
based on the number of employees.
• Clean-up and sinks will be calculated as the difference between (a) plant daily demand
measured at the City Water meter, (b) estimated daily demand for irrigation and sanitary,
and (c) daily volume measured at the inlets to the DI water systems.
The water balance will require a comparison with the volume of wastewater discharged from the
plant. Fig. I shows a schematic of water use in the plant and measurement locations. RO-reject
volumes will be verified from (a) the difference between the daily volumes measured at the D1 -
system inlets and the high and low pressure DI water supply, and (b) applying the fixed RO-reject
ratio for each system to the daily volume of DI water produced. The volume of water (and salt)
used for softener regeneration will be estimated from an initial measurement of total water usage
during regeneration and a Iog of regenerations. Wastewater treatment chemical usage will be
estimated from annual purchasing accounts, to create an average unit usage (e.g. lb-chemical/gat-
wastewater)-
TASK #2: EVALUATION OF WATER USE IN CAST -CLEANING
Water is used in batches in the pre -wash and brush -wash systems, so no flowmeters will be
needed, but a time log of batches, cast throughputs, and cleaning additives will be required. For
each piece of equipment, the water temperature and volume must be verified at least 3 times (for
water this will require a totalizing meter to capture the evaporation volume).
The flowrate through the cleanup "guns" will be measured manually (with a bucket and
stopwatch) at the beginning of the project. To obtain an estimate of averaze batch cleanup
volume, times will be observed and recorded on at least 3 days. End -of -day cleanup times will
also be observed and measured.
SOLA Q)rlciencv Evaluation Page 1 of 9
Fig. 2 shows a schematic of water use in cast -cleaning, and the main parameters to be recorded in
the logs.
TASK 0: EVALUATION OF WATER USE IN COATING
The large number of parallel coating lines probably creates the largest process demand for Dl
water in the plant. This evaluation will focus on the coating lines for CR -34 lenses, with detailed
measurements for one "4 -pack" assembly of machines. Fig. 3 shows a schematic of water use in
the coating machine, and other parameters to be recorded.
For the high-pressure rinse, a clamp -on flowmeter will be installed on the high-pressure DI water
supply line. To correlate flow with lens throughput and the number of machines operating at a
given time, the number of ON/OFF pulses to the automatic valves from the machine PLCs will
also be counted. To test nozzle performance (and wear and tear), flowrates for new nozzles will
be compared to the flowrate.after a large number of lenses (e.g. 10,000) have been processed.
Testing will require running the machines for a given number of lenses (e.g. 3 batches of 100
lenses each on at least 2 machines operating simultaneously).
For KOH (potassium hydroxide) cleaning, a time log of KOH and DI water makeup volumes to
the recirculation system, along with the temperature will be required. KOH dragout can be
measured by diverting the recirculation drain from the high-pressure rinse section, and titrating the
sample for KOH (e.g. 3 batches of 100 lenses each on at least 2 machines operating
simultaneously).
For the low-pressure rinse, a totalizing meter will be required to measure daily DI water makeup.
To help evaluate the impact of KOH, a time log of pH measurements in the recirculation tank will
be required. To evaluate the build up of solids, several samples of Suspended Solids will be taken
and correlated to lens throughput.
To evaluate the relative load of KOH from the rinses (dragout) and spent KOH cleaning solution
(replenishment and dumps), a pH recorder will be installed on the combined drain for the "4 -
pack".
TASK 94: EVALUATION OF WATER USE IN EDGING
There are several types of edgers, depending on the type of lens material, and whether the edges
are cut or ground. All washing is by high-pressure DI water sprays; grinding requires 2 -stage
rinsing. For this project, three types of machines will be evaluated.
Since the machines have fixed spray nozzles and durations, water usage can be calculated from
the number of ON/OFF pulses to the automatic valves from the machine PLCs.. To test nozzle
performance (and wear and tear), flowrates for new nozzles will be compared to the flowrate after
a large number of lenses (e.g. 10,000) have been processed. Testing will require running the
machines for a given number of lenses (e.g. 3 batches of 100 lenses). Fig. 4 shows a schematic of
water use in the edginglcutting machines, and other parameters to be recorded; Fie. 5 shows the
same for edging/grinding machines.

INDUSTRIAL WATER EFFICIENCY
Program Development Steps
Pacific Technology Associates • 29 November 1999
OBJECTIVE
Create a simple and effective program to improve industrial water efficiency. Using a
financial incentive provided by a new Public/Private partnership, this program seeks to:
• Reduce sector water use by 30% (630,000 gpd for Petaluma) within 15 years;
• Limit public investment to the marginal cost of new water and wastewater
infrastructure; and
• Maximize water savings and economic benefits by simultaneously improving
the efficiency with which other natural resources are used.
The economic benefits of water efficiency in the industrial sector far surpass those
created by programs targeted at other water use sectors. For Mishi Apparel, Inc., the first
Case Study in Petaluma, the economic value of a 46% reduction in water use will be
multiplied twenty -fold by related chemical and energy savings. In addition to upstream
watershed protection, a well-designed Industrial Water Efficiency Program will deliver
unique and significant economic development and pollution prevention benefits.
STEPS
Implement Demonstration Projects
I. Afshi Apparel, Inc An audit ofMishi's dyehouse was conducted as part of
previous work funded by the Rose Foundation.' Project implementation is now
underway, with professional support funded by the City of Petaluma. Equipment
installation will commence early in 2000.
3. SOL -1 Optical USA, Inc. Headquartered in Petaluma, SOLA Optical USA
manufacturers approximately 1/3 of all ophthalmic lenses worn in the United
States. The Pacific Technology team, working with senior SOLA technical staff,
has developed a plan to determine cost-effective water saving strategies for this
high-tech facility. Implementation will require a 560,000 investment:
• S25,000 for professional services (see Enclosure 1); and
• S35,000 for instrumentation (clamp -on flowmeters, associated data loggers,
and related data integration services — a transportable package available to the
Agencv to verifv water savings of future projects: see Enclosure 2).2
Pacific Technology Associates, Industrial Ut ater Ef ciencv Program Proposed for the Gr, ai Petaluma
and the Sonoma Count, Warer.dgency (April, 1999)
This equipment, needed to precisely characterize .vater use in manufacturing operations. is a}:m to USGS
stream gages relied upon by v%ater resource engineers at an earlier era_ To minimize costs, it is assumed
that the Agency's equipment for capturing rent -tune usage at the City water meter may also be used.
Program Deveiopment Steps: page I of 3
It is likely that these two demonstration projects will alone save as much water as was
predicted for the entire first -generation Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII)
Program proposed for Petaluma by Montgomery Watson in 1995, and for the same cost
(including consulting fees and a financial incentive for saved water).' The nest step is
therefore to determine how to expand this service to Petaluma's remaining 850+ CII
customers.
Develop Program
The objective is to grow the first -generation CH Program for Petaluma from one that
reduces sector water usage by a half percent to a second -generation Program capable of
30% (saving 8,600 and 630,000 gpd, for public investments of SI 80,000 and $7.9
million, respectively).{ Achieving this result will require methodical work to identify and
overcome the institutional barriers that currently shortchange the economic potential of
this water efficiency program.
As with any other innovation, it is imperative that those to whom the program is directed
perceive that the benefits clearly outweigh the effort required. Demonstration projects
address the credibility of the program, but are alone insufficient to stimulate action,
Widespread adoption requires an artful program design that presents the following
characteristics:5
L Relative Advantage: Senior business and institutional officers perceive that
participation in the City's Program will be advantageous for their organizations.
Z. Simple: The Program is simple to understand and easy to apply.
3. Incremental: Customers may participate in stages — that is, commitment to a
massive project is not required at the outset.
I. Observable: Results obtained by those who participate in the Program will be
easily apparent and attractive to those who have not yet participated.
5. Compatible: Efficiency measures are relatively easy to install, operate, and
maintain: they fit with existing operations. Financial incentive payments are
spread over time to be compatible with the pace of the public budget process.
These objectives, operating within the conceptual framework established by the
consultant's earlier Study, will guide program development. An estimated $100,000 is

Best Management Practices against die avoided costs for die Agency and its contractors. A significant
advance in m -pored water efficiency planning, it provides the starting point for the present ivork. The costs
and savuies estimated by Monteomery Watson for the CII sector are presented in Enclosure 3.
'lie Monteomery Watson estimate is detailed in Enclosure 3. The 57.9 mullion figure projected for die
neiv program represents 630,000 gpd saved for riventy years, valued at the currendy accepted avoided cost
of 51_'9/CCF The unit cost for die now program is approximately 399, o less than for its predecessor.

required during the year 2000 to launch the program.' Additional work may be required
thereafter to expand quality service into the commercial sector, to track and share
technical results to enable continuous improvement, and to otherwise respond to feedback
from the working program.
Petaluma provides exceptionally fertile ground for developing this program, for visionary
policy frameworks are emerging here that will require such a pragmatic action plan_ At
the City level, ecological sustainability will be addressed by a new committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, and by the City's General Plan (now being revised). At the
County, the Director of the Waste Management Agency is leading efforts to integrate
principles of sustainability into operations, and the Economic Development Board's
annual .straight to the Bottom Line Conference headlines the value of eco -efficiency.
Treatises such as Natural Capitalism? provide intellectual direction for increasing such
efforts, and UNEP's global perspective$ morally compels it. The value of creating
modern public policy instruments such as the one proposed, capable of amplifying efforts
in the direction Petaluma is moving and the world requires, cannot be underestimated.
OUTCOMES
This industrial water efficiency program will be beneficial in several ways, in that it will:
• Reduce water resource costs to public and private sectors
• Increase private sector profitability through lower water use and related
resource savings
• Implement a morally -sound program with regard to the comprehensive
preservation of natural resources
• Improve quality of life

OUTLINE FOR WATER EFFICIENCY EVALUATION
SOLA Optical USA. Inc. • Petaluma, CA
TASK ml: PLANT WATER BALANCE
The plant has a single City water meter for all uses. The first task will be to develop a dynamic
water balance for the plant, including indoor and outdoor uses.
The main outdoor use is irrigation (front and back separately), which will be estimated from (a)
observing the City flowmeter while the irrigation system is on and production is lowest (ea. on a
Sunday), and (b) reviewing the seasonal frequencies and durations of irrigation.
The City water used inside the plant can be separated into three main categories:
• Deionized process water (DI water), constituting most of the demand, will be measured
for hourly demand.
• Sanitary, likely a small fraction of the total, will be calculated as the difference between
irulow to the plant and process water discharged to the server (the discharge point is just
upstream of the sanitary drain). This will be checked against the usage typically expected
based on the number of employees.
• Clean-up and sinks will be calculated as the difference between (a) plant daily demand
measured at the City Water meter, (b) estimated daily demand for irrigation and sanitary_ ,
and (c) daily volume measured at the inlets to the DI ware- systems.
The water balance will require a comparison with the volume of wastewater discharged from the
plant. Fig. 1 shows a schematic of water use in the plant and measurement locations. PO -refect
volumes will be verified from (a) the difference between the daily volumes measured at the DI -
system inlets and the high and low pressure DI water supply, and (b) apolying the fixed RO-reject
ratio for each system to the daily volume of DI water produced. The volume of water (and salt)
used for softener regene-ation will be estimated from an initial measurement of total agate- usage
during regeneration and a log of re_enerations Wastewater treatment chemical usage '.viil be
estimated from annual Purchasing accounts. to create an average unit usage (e g Ib-chemicahstal-

Fla. 2 shows a schematic of water use in cast -cleaning, and the main parameters to be recorded in
the loos.
TASK m3: EVALUATION OF WATER USE IN COATING
The large number of parallel coating lines probably creates the largest process demand for D1
water in the plant. This evaluation will focus on the coating lines for CR -39 lenses, with detailec
measurements for one •`4 -pack" assembly of machines. Fig. 3 shows a schematic of water use in
the coating machine, and other parameters to be recorded.
For the high-pressure rinse, a clamp -on flowmeter will be installed on the high-pressure DI water
supply line. To correlate flow with lens throughput and the number of machines operating at a
given time, the number of ON/OFF pulses to the automatic valves from the machine PLCs will
also be counted. To test nozzle performance (and wear and tear), flowrates for new no«.les will
be compared to the flowrate a8er a large number of lenses (e.g. 10,000) have been processed.
Testing will require running the machines for a given number of lenses (e.g. 3 batches of 100
lenses each on at least 2 machines operating simultaneously).
For KOH (potassium hydroxide) cleaning, a time log of KOH and DI water makeup volumes to
the recirculation system, along with the temperature will be required. KOH dragour can be
measured by diverting the recirculation drain from the high-pressure rinse section, and titrating the
sample for KOH (e.g. 3 batches of 100 lenses each on at least 2 machines operating
simultaneously).
For the low-pressure rinse, a totalizing meter will be required to measure daily DI water makeup.
To help evaluate the impact of KOH, a time log of pH measurements in the recirculation tank will
be required. To evaluate the build up of solids, several samples of Suspended Solids will be taken
and correlated to tens throughput.
To evaluate the relative load of KOH from the rinses (dragout) and spent KOH cleaning solution
(replenishment and dumps), a pH recorder will be installed on the combined drain for the "'4-
pack" -
TASK #4: EVALUATION OF WATER USE IN EDGING
There are several types of edgers, depending on the type of lens material, and whether the edges
are cut or ground All washing is by high-pressure DI water sprays; grinding requires --stage
nnsmg For this project, three types of machines will be evaluated.
Since the machines have fixed sorav nozzles and durations, water usage can be calculated from
the number of ON/OFF pulses to the automatic vaives from the machine PLCs To test nozzle
pe-formance Land wear and tear), flowrates for new ttoz_ies wiil be compared to the ilowrate after
a large number of lenses (e.g. 10.000) have been processed. Testing •.viii require running :he

water use in the edging+'cutting machines, and other parameters to be recorded. F:g shows [he
same for edgingiurinding machines.

Final Report
Industrial Water Efficiency Project
While the potential to simrificantly improve efficiency of CII water use is well
established, such practice remains the exception rather than the norm. We propose a true
public/private partnership that will support aggressive water efficiency improvements.
Fueled with significant financial incentives, this creates a new and more positive role for
the City, as a provider of bottom-line services that will complement its conventional
water -related infrastructure and regulatory functions. Another important aspect is that
financial responsibility to ratepayers is maintained by adjusting the incentive not to
exceed the marginal cost of equivalent water and wastewater services.
This partnership will stimulate more than water savings. Targeted first at the City's
largest water customers, it is necessary to reduce both water use and pollutant loading to
avoid violating discharge standards. The value of this strategy is demonstrated by the
Case Study conducted for Mishi Apparel, inc., a Petaluma fashion house with 50
employees. Thanks to attention given to this project by Mishi's President, Mr. Hamish
Hafter, we determined the potential to reduce water use by 46 percent — saving $4,800/yr
at current water and wastewater rates — and more importantly to reduce Ivfishi's
consumption of practically every other physical resource, saving an additional
$74,000/year. The thread of water use, when not severed from the whole cloth of related
resources, connects to significant economic and environmental opportunities that ripple
out from each project site.
A successful program will have the ability to consistently develop projects that save
impressive amounts of water and money. Our report suggests innovations for
accomplishing this, including: (I) high-quality technical designs that follow a protocol
beginning with process optimization, (2) long-term partnership that encourages proper
operation and maintenance of optimized systems (not just new equipment), (3)
verification of savings, (4) savings normalized for economic production, and (5) full
valuation of avoided water and wastewater costs. Together, these tools should allow the
City to reduce CII water usage by almost 400,000 gallons per day. Approximately seven
percent of the City's total estimated wastewater flow in 2010, this exceeds savings
projected forthe various complementary toilet replacement programs underway.
This work has already engendered support from its intended beneficiaries. We wish to
acknowledge support provided on this project from your staff, particularly Tom Hams,
Steve Simmons, Lynn Hulme and Mke San. We intend to initiate a small demonstration
project at Mrshi and begin to create a specific program. Randy Poole, General Manager
and Chief Engineer of the Sonoma County Water Agency, has also pledged funding to
help develop a larger demonstration project for another site in Petaluma. We are in the
process of securing additional funding from a variety of sources in order to work out the
many details and to prepare a CII Program for City and Agency staff to operate. This
amount is in line with that required by the baseline CII Program proposed in 1995. The
new program, however, should boost water savings approximately forty -fold.

Final Report
Industrial Water Efficiency Project
It is the view of The Bay Institute and our colleagues that the most reliable new source of
water in California lies with efficiency improvements among existing users.
Concurrently, as revealed by our Case Study, public investment in a community's
resource efficiency provides highly cost-effective economic development.
Thank you again for the confidence expressed in our efforts. We look forward to the
opportunity to present our findings in further detail. If you have any further questions or
would like additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at (415) 721-7680.

INDUSTRIAL WATER EFFICIENCY PROGRAM
Edwin Orrett, P.E.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report, including an accompanying Case Study for one industrial water efficiency
project in Petaluma, marks the conclusion of work funded by The Rose Foundation of
Oakland, CA, and managed by Grant Davis, Executive Director of The Bay Institute of
San Francisco. The results of this 515,000 project strengthen the claim set forth in the
original project proposal: there are compelling economic and environmental reasons to
invest public funds to encourage private industrial efficiency improvements in Petaluma.
This report outlines these benefits and suggests how they may be achieved.
The proposed program builds upon the City of Petaluma's tradition of leadership in water
efficiency. This tradition began with being one of the first cities in the nation to require
Ultra Low Flush (ULF) toilets in homes, and was recently underscored with an
innovative program developed with the Sonoma County Water Agency (Agency) that
installs new ULF toilets, without charge, for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional
(CII) customers. This report proposes the next step: an approach to saving large volumes
of water that is based upon performance, not delivery of specific fixtures.
The advantages offered to the City are many. First, wastewater flow and load may be
reduced to the wastewater plant. This report explains how a reduction of approximately
seven percent may be achieved with a program that addresses 130 customers during the
next ten years. The key lies with a public financial incentive that costs less than
conventional water supply and wastewater service of equivalent capacity.
More important is the economic development aspect ofthis project. The public financial
incentive is likely to trigger broad improvements in overall industrial resource efficiency
that will improve the bottom Iine of Petaluma businesses. Unlike investing in costly
.public works infrastructure, investing in a community's resource efficiency yields
savings because it literally plugs economic leaks instead of creating new ones.
The Case Study for Miishi Apparel, Inc. illustrates how this might take place. Mishi, a
Petaluma fashion house with 50 employees, operates its own dye house. This project
revealed the opportunity to reduce Mishi's water use as much as 46 percent for an initial
cost of approximately $200,000. When maintained over 20 years, the project will merit a
public incentive of $45,000 for saving water, and reduce Mishi's costs by $1.5 million.
As this example demonstrates, the economic benefits of water savings may be highly
leveraged in industrial situations because of the opportunity to simultaneously reduce use
of many physical resources and improve the quality of manufactured goods.
In summary, the multiple economic and environmental benefits include:
Public Cost Savings: demand for water and wastewater services is reduced at
Iess than the cost of supply;
the largest volume of potential savings. While there are variations across cities, the most
important categories, in order of importance, are:
• Offices
• Health Care
• Sales
• Eating and Drinking
• Hotels and Accommodations
• Education
• Laundries
RECOMMENDED SERVICE
Case for a Public Incentive
The need for an incentive to assist private water efficiency projects became apparent to
the author when responding to industrial wastewater compliance issues. These
companies faced large costs to develop and maintain reliable pretreatment facilities.
While the companies responded appropriately, cost is a serious concern, especially when
regional competitors face less stringent discharge standards. The entire compliance
process, a mostly negative procedure that includes groups with the right to intervene
when the governing law is not strictly observed, has room for improvement.
The best compliance strategy for industries is typically not to just bite the bullet and build
a treatment facility. It is preferable to first consider each of the following steps in
sequence: (1) optimize processes and reduce water usage, (2) modernize process
equipment, (3) reduce chemical usage or substitute with chemicals less polluting, (4)
install water reclamation equipment to reuse water, energy, and chemicals; then, if
necessary, (5) install equipment to treat the small wastewater flow remaining. While this
may cost more initially than the conventional approach, and is more challenging to
design, it often returns a profit instead of unending loss. The accompanying Case Study
demonstrates the value of this procedure.
This approach is even more appealing on a larger scale. As private water consumption
and pollutant generation is reduced, the need to expand public water and wastewater
infrastructure capacity is also reduced. The economic value of the latter can be
considerable, as is its increasingly apparent ecological value. A partnership is therefore
suggested where a portion of the public benefit is transferred to the private sector to assist
their water efficiency projects. No mechanism is in effect today to support large CR
projects.
Some argue that CII customers require no financial assistance, because as businesses,
they will do anything that returns a profit. Evidence is to the contrary. Recent analyses
indicate, among other things, that ".-many CII users have never implemented even the
most basic efficiency improvements
."T Hagler Bailly Services, Inc., following up to
determine why measures recommended by 605 CII audits conducted by the Metropolitan
Iter District of Southern California were not implemented, found "...financial reasons
°re cited most frequently (by 53 percent)...i8 Of six other reasons listed for non action,
ieduling received the highest score (only 16 percent). Financial assistance is clearly
most important device for improving private sector water -saving performance. This
--choed by the guidelines for statewide urban water conservation planning, that place
anomic incentives at the top of their list of Potential Best Management Practices;9 and
City's own experience with its fabulously successful program of installing free toilets
CII customers,
addition to financial assistance, a recent study of water efficiency among hotels in
ncouver, B.C., found other important factors. "More than 45% of respondents
ntified the following factors as somewhat to very important in deciding whether or not
,onserve water:
• Knowing that what they do makes a difference in their community
• Guest comfort
• Believing that water is valuable and should not be wasted
• Bearing or reading in the news that water storage capacity is limited
• Warning to reduce operating costs at their facility
• Guest preferences for `environmentally friendly' services" 10
latter point about guest preferences is also made by Scandic Hotels, a major chain in
ope. Following surveys that revealed strong environmental values held by their
ntele, Scandic is extensively refitting its hotels to conform to environmental
iciples, thereby improving market share," A Public Incentive Program maybe
--tied to independently validate "green" water saving claims made by participants,
eby providing additional value.
ommended Incentive
.ntives for CII projects offered by many water utilities, and one water/wastewater
ty, were reviewed in the process of developing the following recommendations. 12
most valuable for this project are deemed those programs developed by Seattle
lic Utilities, Denver Water, East Bay Municipal Utilities District, and Metropolitan
er District of Southern California. The author is also familiar with energy efficiency
egies, whose sophistication is beginning to be matched by these projects.
basic strategy recommended for Petaluma is a performance contract. The idea is to
- public funds — at a rate less than avoided infrastructure costs - for savings actually
eyed. Sufficient incentive funds are required at the outset of a project to get it off the
nd, but not so much that public ratepayers are placed at risk. A staggered payment
(a portion up front, and residual payments (with interest) at scheduled anniversaries
.after) provides several important benefits:
• Total payments matched to measured savings
The annual program budget may be based mostly upon actual projects,
thereby improving budget forecasts

" Everett Rogers with Floyd Shoemaker, Communication of Innovations:_ A Cross-Cultural Annroach
(Second Edition), The Free Press, New York: 1971. This classic reference in applied behavioral science
describes how innovations diffuse through society. Brash, adventuresome "Innovators" are the first to take
up a new idea. Next are the respectable `Early Adopters," then the more deliberate "Early Majority,"
followed by a skeptical "Late Majority," and finally the "Laggards." A demonstration project has its
greatest strategic value if it is accomplished in partnership an Early Adopter. Rogers describes this
category (p. 184):
Early adopters are a more integrated part ofihe local social system than are innovators. TVhereas
innovators are cosmopolites, early adopters are localites. This adopter category, more than any other, has
the greatest degree of opinion leadership in most social systems. Potential adopters look to early adopters
for advice and information about the innovation. The early adopter is considered by many as 'the man to
check with' before using anew idea. This adopter category is usually sought by change agents to be a
local missionary for speeding the diffusion process. Because early adopters are not too far ahead of the
average individual in innovativeness, they serve as a role model for many other members ofa social
system. The early adopter is respected by his peers. He is the embodiment ofsuccess(ul and discrete use of
new ideas, And the early adapter knows that he must continue to earn this esteem ofhis colleagues ifhis
position in the social structure is to be maintained "
15 The San Antonio Water System, for example, offers a rebate of $300 towards the audit of a customer of
Mishi's size that is performed or supervised by a licensed engineer pre-qualified by the City. See: Eddie
Wilcut, Chris Brown, and Peggy McCray, Implementing an Integrated Commercial Conservation Program,
paper presented at AWWA CONSERV 99, Monterey, CA: 1999; hereafter Wilcut.
'6 Most wastewater equipment vendors, for example, have a wealth of explicit hands-on knowledge and
provide excellent installation designs. These, however, do not always serve the best interest of an efficiency
program because vendors are generally stimulated to sell the largest model(s) of whatever products they
offer. The preferred approach here is to minimize flow and load first, then apply appropriate equipment to
whatever remains. This caveat applies more to complex industrial than simple commercial projects.
" The Arizona Department of Water Resources provided a gram that provided "...an intensive training
program for conservation coordinators and water efficiency analysts. Participants received nearly one
hundred hours of practical hands-on instruction from senior, highly qualified engineers. City
representatives will continue to conduct water use surveys with assistance from mentors under the terms of
the grant." Source: httn://www/temne.eov/amwua/water?3.htm.

supply, fiends its efficiency programs by a fee proportional to meter size that is added to monthly water bills

Director Paul Kelley is the following: "Our ability, to provide water to municipal and agricultural users is
going to get harder and harder." Another interpretation of this data is that the mitigation efforts are fruimil
and must be maintained, if not strengthened (author).

MISHI APPAREL, INC.
Petaluma Industrial Water Efficiency Program: Case Study #1
prepared by
Pacific Technology Associates and Rosenblum Environmental Engineering
for
The Bay Institute of San Francisco
with fundingfrom
The Rose Foundation
EXECUTIVE SUIVIN ARY
The Rose Foundation announced in late 1997 its intention to award grants for projects addressing
the reduction and/or mitigation of pollutants in the Petaluma River watershed area. In response,
the Bay Institute of San Francisco (hereafter the Bay Institute) proposed to outline an Industrial
Water Efficiency Program for Petaluma and to demonstrate the effectiveness of that program by
evaluating its application to one industrial facility. The linkage to the Rose Foundation's
objective is the idea that it is possible to cost-effectively improve industrial water efficiency and
reduce the mass of pollutants discharged to the Petaluma sewer, and by so doing, improve the
health of receiving waters. The Rose Foundation accepted the Bay Institute's proposal and
awarded a grant of $15,000 in March 1998.
Mr. Hamish Hafter, President of bfishi Apparel, Inc. (hereafter "Mishi"), volunteered to
participate in this project by offering his dyehouse as the subject for this Case Study. A
manufacturer of organic fiber women's clothing, Mishi has been in business in Petaluma for fifteen
years, and has approximately fifty employees. The objectives for this study were to investigate
opportunities for reducing water use, select a project suited to Mishi's business needs, andV
evaluate the project's financial and environmental performance. Implementation details revealed
by this process were also helpful for fine-tuning the simultaneously developed draft Industrial
Water Efficiency Program.
Mishi's dyehouse water use in 1997 was approximately 8,500 gallons per day (gpd), placing it
44th in water use among the City of Petaluma's 1,197 non-residential customers (a list that
includes irrigation accounts). Three factors make Mishi's operation a challenging candidate for
cost-effective water efficiency: a difficult wastewater to treat (dyebaths), no pre-existing
treatment facilities that might be modified to enable re -using water (no such facilities were
needed, given Mishi's perfect compliance record), and relatively short operating hours. This is
therefore a perfect Case Study for this program, for an attractive project here portends good
opportunities throughout the City.
This Case Study affirms that an industrial water efficiency program has the potential to deliver
broad environmental and economic benefits. Process improvements are identified that will reduce
Mishi's need for water and process additives as much as 46% and 72%, respectively. Because
many of the materials required in dyeing operations (such as salt and dyes) are at best only
partially removed from wastewater by conventional municipal treatment processes, fewer
materials required at the dyehouse translates to improved water quality at the sewer plant
discharge. The larger of two projects described herein has an initial cost of approximately
$200,000, annual savings of $79,000, and therefore a simple payback of 25 years. The reduced
demand on public water supply and wastewater treatment services makes it cost-effective to offer
a public financial incentive of $49,000 (payable in stages upon performance verification to
minimize risk to public funds). This incentive reduces the project's simple payback to 1.9 years, a
level that is sufficiently attractive to stimulate action by most private entities. A simpler project is
also described that provides smaller savings with a faster payback.
This study demonstrates the value of expanding the water conservation services offered by the
City of Petaluma to encompass industrial processes. Unlike the City's current water conservation
programs, an industrial program must consider pollutant loads because of concentration limits that
apply to these customers. Industrial water efficiency projects therefore must be designed to
provide more than water savings. This is illustrated by this project for Mishi, where only 6% of
the annual cost savings derive from reduced water and wastewater fees, despite cutting usage
practically in half. Not surprisingly, water cost savings alone are typically insufficient to motivate
businesses to invest the time necessary to develop water efficiency projects. This Case Study
demonstrates how water savings may be embedded in a broader, more attractive package.
In addition to reducing water demand, the proposed Industrial Water Efficiency Program directly
serves economic development goals. Participating businesses, already established in the
community, will be made more profitable. There is also a multiplier effect, for capital invested in
water efficiency will remain largely within Petaluma, unlike investments in public water supply and
wastewater treatment works. Best of all, this program is intrinsically cost-effective based upon
water savings alone, for it provides the equivalent function of conventional public water and
wastewater services at a smaller unit cost.
INDUSTRIAL SITE
Mishi Apparel, Inc., is a 15 -year old Petaluma business that designs, manufacturers, and sells
natural fiber women's clothing. Design, manufacturing, and administrative services are based in
Petaluma, and retail stores are located in Petaluma and Berkeley, CA. 4fishi, with approximately
fifty employees, is in an expansion phase and anticipates improving, if not relocating (within
Petaluma), its dyehouse.
Figure 1 illustrates how water and related physical resources are used at Mishi for washing and
dveing Garments. These resource flows were then quantified and tied to production by examining

Mishi's records. Table 1 presents these data as the Baseline. This is the fundamental data against
which all changes in resource use are measured. For example, MisE required, during the Baseline
Year (that which ended just before this project began), approximately 23 CCF of water per
thousand pounds of finished goods. This important datum establishes the value against which
water savings will be measured, and the bulk of the public financial incentive will be based (more
precisely, the value is estimated at 23.15 CCF supplied/1,000 lb, or 17.31 glilb).
It is also important to note that by tying water use to production (e.g., gallons of water per pound
of product), a metric is used that can float regardless of Mishi's level of economic activity. For
example, if MisE halves its unit water usage while doubling production, the City's water meter
would reflect no savings. However, when information to adjust water usage for economic activity
is provided, the 100% improvement in water efficiency will be revealed. Seen another way,
Mishi's demand for public water supply and wastewater services would double without the
investment to improve its water efficiency.
A review of the technical literature related to treating wastewater from dyeing natural -fibers
(those that require "reactive" dyes) reveals worldwide respect for this particular effluent.
Professors Li and Zhao of the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering at The Hong Kona
Polytechnic University, concerned about pollution from textile wastewater in Hong Kong, note:
"... There is a practical limit to the degree of COD removal and colour removal due to
the inability of biological treatment processes fe.g., municipal wastewater treatment
plants] in degrading dye chemicals. With different apes of activated sludge processes,
the following removals are normally achieved: about 90% of BOD, 40-50% of COD and
10-30% of colour. "
Similarly, Dr. Geoff McMullan and colleagues at the School of Applied Biological and Chemical
Sciences, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, state:
"Textile dyes are of environmental interest because of their widespread use, their
potential for formation of toxic aromatic amines and their low removal rate during
aerobic waste water treatment. "
Directly to the point for this application Prof. Pavlostathis of Georgia Tech posits:
" The single most pressing environmental problemfacing the textile industry is related to
reactive dyes. "
Similar statements appear in the introductions of practically every paper reviewed in the
preparation of this study (see References). This is not to say there is cause for alarm in Petaluma,
for we do not have a situation such as that in Hillsborough, NC, for example, where up to 75% of
the inflow to the city's wastewater treatment plant once came from one textile mill. Here we have
one small dyehouse, always in compliance with local regulations, that contributes 0.29% of the
City's total wastewater flow. However, anything done to reduce the mass of pollutants entering

the wastewater, particularly dyes, will ultimately prove beneficial to the estuary downstream of
Petaluma's wastewater treatment plant, for the latter is not likely to fully treat these materials.
These factual circumstances make real the challenge of this demonstration project: is it possible to
cost-effectively improve water efficiency and reduce the mass of pollutants discharged to the
sewer; and by doing so, improve the health of receiving waters? The claim for this nexus, and
that a Public Financial Incentive will stimulate appropriate action, formed the basis for the Rose
Foundation's participation.
TBE PRO-FORmA PROJECT
Means for reducing water use for Mishi's washing and dyeing operation were considered within
the constraint of maintaining compliance with City discharge regulations. The primary objectives
regarding the latter were to keep the concentration of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) safely
below 250 milligrams per liter (mgil)'the level at which the City is authorized to assess a
surcharge on a customer's wastewater bill, and to avoid problems with the concentration of
metals. Virtually all textile dyes include small quantities of metal in their molecular design.
The strategy followed thereafter was identical to that used by Wenzel et al. in their 1996 study of
reactive dyeing in Denmark:
"The overall strategp of the research has been to identify, environmental improvements
by a stepwise procedure: (1) process optimization and water savings, (3) potential
modernization of dyeing equipment, (3) chemical savings or substitutions and (1) water
reclamation and reuse of water and chemicals. This order ofpriorities should be
followed as far as possible in order not to treat problems that could be avoided
successfully by process alterations. Not respecting this order of priority could lead to
wrong dimensioning of water reclamation equipment and in worst case total error in
investment. "
Following the development and evaluation of approximately fifteen scenarios for improving the
dyehouse, bench -scale tests of advanced Oxidation Processes for dve removal from samples
drawn from Mishi's dye machines, many telephone and e-mail inquiries, and discussing likely
alternatives with Mr. Hafter of Mishi, a two-step project emerged.
Phase I:
Process Optimization: the primary goal is to optimize the dye process. Optimization at
Mishi requires more hot water capacity (a new water heater and extensive insulation),
improved controls for adjusting and maintaining dyebath temperatures, carefully
adjusting the timing and rate of pH adjustments, and softening all process water.
Phase I has already begun, as Mishi has changed to a line of dyes that requires less salt
than normal, and is experimenting with detergent substitutes.
Phase II:
Water Savings: Replace ten Ili -year old Maytag residential washing machines with
high -efficiency models of the same size.
Modernize Dveing Eouioment: This is where the project becomes interesting. Braun
manufacturers first-rate dyeing equipment, designed to last at least 20 years, that
includes every feature one could want for optimizing the dyeing process. However,
the minimum capacity is too large to support Mishi's unique capability for precisely
dyeing many small lots, and the equipment is priced at the top of the market. The
response: employ Petaluma specialists to develop a small, efficient dye machine based
upon the units already owned by IvIiishi, or by redesigning a modern clothes washing
machine. This expertise has already been proven by successfully rebuilding a 1940 -era
milk bottle washer for a local organic dairy so that it would use ten times less water
than originally specified for. Special tricks with dye machines: they operate with
corrosive hot salty water (like washing clothes with ocean water), and require lint
filters, pressure jets, and precise control for temperature and chemical feeds. Phase II
is separated from Phase I because on-site experiments must be made before
committing to full-scale implementation.
Water Savings: additional water savings will accrue due to improved liquor ratios in
the new dye machines. The optimized dyeing process will also reduce the mass of
other consumables required.
A more complete description of the implementation strategy is attached at to the end of this
report (two-page memo from John Rosenblum to Ned Orrett).
Other strategies were investigated but did not warrant being included in a project at this point.
These included employing cascaded rinses, filtering washwater for reuse, and treating spent
dyebaths for reuse with activated carbon, OF membranes, photocatalytic oxidation, LTV/HzO,
oxidation, or electrocoagulation. Following the large reductions achieved at relatively low cost
by pollution prevention techniques (i.e. the steps listed above), there was insufficient value in the
remaining wastewater to justify these technologies.
A diligent effort was made to obtain performance data about dyes purportedly available without
heavy metals, but with no result. This is an attractive strategy of chemical substitution that will
have to wait for another day.
PERFORMANCE
Table 1 provides the unit resource usage estimated upon implementation of Phase I and E of this
project. These estimates were developed on the basis of performance data reported in the
literature, manufacturer's information, and standard engineering calculations. The extension of
these savings estimates by unit resource costs and production levels (currently approximately
162,000 lb/year of finished goods) provides annual cost savings.

Table 2 presents the project's financial performance in a cash flow format. The key feature is that
Mishi has the opportunity to experience posirfve cash flaw throughout the lifetime of the project
(positive compared to the Baseline assumption, which is to maintain the existing setup).
Among the many assumptions for Table 2 is that Phase I of the project begins the first year, and
includes necessary testing so that Phase H may begin the second year. Both projects require six
months to install, and are designed to perform for twenty years. Provision is made ("Tune-ups
and Equipment Renewal") to replace equipment and to employ specialists as needed to maintain
optimum process efficiency. Superior performance of a sophisticated industrial system ultimately
requires careful operation and maintenance more than state-of-the-art equipment.
Initial cost estimates include design, equipment, installation, process adjustments ("optimization"),
and 20% for contingencies. A five-year loan is assumed. Avoided Baseline Costs are the
maintenance costs not spent on the Baseline situation. The Financial Incentive is the sum
provided by the City and Sonoma County Water Agency, as described in the companion report.
This reflects an 80% share of the public infrastructure costs avoided by this project. Levelized
costs for the latter (present value of twenty years of future service divided by relevant volume or
mass) are currently estimated at $0.19/CCF, $1.55/CCF, and $0.035/lb for water supply,
wastewater management, and BOD removal, respectively. The timing of Incentive payments
assumes that 25% is paid upon the project being accepted by the City, 25% after performance is
verified following one year of operation (this is also a time to "true -up" the incentive to match
actual performance), another 25% after ten years (again after checking performance), and a final
25% at the fifteen -year mark. The presentation on Table 2 is cluttered in the first three years
because Phase I and H begin sequentially. These are assumed to become one project thereafter
for simplification. Inflation is applied to all investments and benefits except loan payments.
A series of charts are appended that illustrate the financial and environmental performance of the
project defined above. In all cases, "Phase II" is assumed to be an extension of the "Phase P'
project.
• Figure 2: This illustrates the relative value of the Public and Private investments. By
also showing water savings, one sees (I) increased water savings come at a higher
marginal cost; and, nevertheless, (2) the rate paid by the City for saved water remains
constant (the Public Investment is a fixed S/CCF).
• Fiwre 3: TDS falls dramatically due to changing to a different dye that requires less
salt, optimizing use of that dye, and reducing the liquor ratio with better dye machines.
These changes are net of salt needed by a water softener. BOD is related to use of
detergents. These are conservatively adjusted downward based only upon dye
machine replacement, when in fact the use of less water for washing, softened water,
and substitution of enzymes in place of some detergents will likely provide a better
result than that indicated.
Figure 4: The annual cost of dyehouse consumables is calculated by extending Table
data by annual production. Dyes, while an insignificant fraction of the mass of
consumables, are the fundamental part of the process (after all, this is a dyehouse), and
are clearly where the costs lie. Note how the total cost of associated consumables
decline in relation to dyes — the total process is becoming more efficient financially as
well as ecologically because there is less waste. Also note that the cost for water and
sewer service — the tiny bar atop the stacked columns — almost escapes attention. This
is why water conservation alone is a non-starter when pitched to business groups. It
must be presented in a larger framework.
• Figure 5: In America, private resource efficiency projects having simple paybacks in
excess of three years rarely fly, despite an internal rate of return that is hard to beat.
Here we show two conservatively priced projects that come in with simple paybacks
of less than 2.5 years without public assistance — that is, still close to the no-go zone
but clearly on the "go" side. The addition of a cost-effective Public Incentive drives
the paybacks under two years. Buckle them seat belts.
• Figure 6: Ecology teaches that everything is connected. So does water efficiency.
Save one resource and save them all. The need for SHMP dispersant is practically
eliminated by switching to softened water.
• Figure 7: The mass of material used in the washing and dyeing process, especially salt,
will decrease substantially. The first Phase of the project will trim the load by more
than half; eliminating each year perhaps 109 tons of stuff used once then dumped
down the drain for the sewer plant to deal with, and then the estuary. Phase H should
remove the need for another 45 tons, for a total mass reduction of 72% relative to
Baseline. By this time, Mshi's dyehouse will be among the best performing in the
country, and will certainly be a top performer for a plant of its capacity.
• Figure 8: This reveals that the final performance parameter will be met — the need to
maintain [BOD] at less than 250 mg/l, the threshold above which the City may assess a
surcharge on the basic sewer fee.

Three things are required to launch the first publicly supported industrial water efficiency project
in Sonoma County.
I. Commitment by the City of Petaluma to prepare and adopt an Industrial Water
Efficiency Program, establish funding for the first project, and develop a contract with
Mishi, and
2. Commitment by the Sonoma County Water Agency to support the City of Petaluma by
providing appropriate financing, and any other allied services; and
s. Commitment by Mishi Apparel, Inc., to implement Phase I of this project. This entails
choosing how to develop a project, setting aside sufficient funds, and establishing a
target kickoff date.
CONCLUSIONS
This Case Study describes a project that will achieve the pollution reduction objectives set forth
by the Rose Foundation. It will concurrently reduce demand for water from the Russian and Eel
River systems, which will help to reduce stress upon threatened native salmonids. Closer to
home, it will help a Petaluma business upgrade its manufacturing process to become more
competitive.
This lays the groundwork for a new economic development strategy that employs a novel public-
private partnership that may be more cost-effective and have less risk than conventional strategies.
The strategy is new because it is aimed at "plugging the leaks" in the existing economic base,
rather than stimulating new, uncertain enterprises. It is a public/private partnership because
private investment is leveraged with public funds; public funds otherwise destined to provide
water and wastewater services that cost more than saving water. The financial risk that publicly
supported water savings will not accrue as intended will be managed by disbursing public funds in
accordance with verified performance. The partnership opportunity also offers a role for the City
that is an attractive counterpart to its previous relationship with industrial community, which was
primarily one of enforcing discharge regulations.

Staaed Imolementaticn for a Pollution Prevention Proiect at Mishi
The first objective is to optimize washing and dyeing processes and install efficient machines. The
second objective is to verify feasible reductions in water, wastewater, chemicals, and energy, and to
validate operational savings. This will confirm the correct design specifications (and costs) for full-
scale implementation, including recycling systems to recover salt, detergents, heat, and rinse -water.
The key measures for immediate implementation are:
• Install water -efficient washing machines for pre -washing.
• Install and modify water -efficient washing machines for dyeing.
• Optimize the dyeing process to reduce water volume, salt concentration, and dye usage,
while improving product quality and reducing defects.
• Optimize detergent use in both pre and post -dye washing cycles.
From the initial evaluation, the estimated full-scale reductions and savings from these measures are
at least as great as those appearing for Phase 11 on Table 1 of the report.
2. PLANT -WIDE MEASURES
• Planning and design specifications for installation.
• Water softening for supply to the water -heater, using leased equipment. Softening is a key
element for optimizing detergent and dye usage.
• Flowmeters for supply -lines to hot and cold water inlets for new equipment. The meters will
be used for recording total daily volumes, and for optimizing wash and rinse cycles.
• Thermometers to verify correct temperatures during optimization, and to estimate heat
losses.
3. PRE -DYE WASHING
• Install at least one horizontal -axis washing machine, with flowmeters and thermometers.
• Optimize detergent usage, temperature, and water volumes for washing and for rinses, by:
(a) Analyzing spent wash solutions and rinses for oil/grease, lint, and activity of detergent.
(b) Monitoring the impact on dye -quality (e.g. inadequate pre -wash will reduce color
uniformity).
4. DYEING
• install at least one horizontal -axis washing machine', with flowmeters and thermometers.
• Modify the machine for.
(a) Recirculation, including: pump, lint filter, heat exchanger, and spray nozzles.
(b) Metering of dye, salt, and fixing agent (soda ash or caustic solution), including pH and
conductivity control.
• Optimize dye dose, salt concentration, fixing agent usage,water volume, and temperature by:
(a) Using dye manufacturer's computer -modelling program to select initial combinations, based
on color and fabric weight.
(b) Analyzing solutions for dye exhaustion and fixation.
(c) Monitoring the dyed fabric for color, uniformity, and other textile -dyeing criteria.
• Minimize rinse volumes, including post -washing, by:
(a) Analyzing rinses for salt and residual color.
(b) Monitoring the quality of finished garments.
S. ESTIMATED COSTS
The intent is to utilize Mishi's in-house capabilities as much as possible, with assistance from a IOC21
plumbing/sanitation contractor. Equipment will be purchased based on Mishi's ability to utilize it
regardless of the outcome of the optimization results.
' Also possible to use an existing machine, or machine used for pre -dye optimization.
INDUSTRIAL WATER EFFICIENCY PROJECT
Proposal for The Rose Foundation
Submitted by The Bay Institute of San Francisco
December 30, 1997
PROJECT NARRATIVE
Overview
This project will invoke the power of the marketplace to reduce the mass of pollutants discharged
into the City of Petaluma (hereafter "City") sewers. This will be accomplished by identifying a
strategy for re -directing a portion of public funds normally used for water and wastewater
infrastructure to instead improve water use efficiency for the City's commercial, industrial, and
institutional ("CII") customers in a manner that has less economic and environmental impact.
Improved water efficiency translates to a reduced demand for public water and wastewater
infrastructure. Restrictions on the concentration of pollutants that may be discharged into the
public sewer (due to Federal Regulations as interpreted by a local Ordinance) means that the mass
of pollutants will decline as water efficiency improves. Indeed, whether or not this linkage is
required, it is the natural result of a well-planned efficiency project. One engineering audit
reveals, for example, the potential to reduce copper and water discharged from a printed circuit
board plant by 75-90% with a 2-5 year payback.'
The City of Petaluma, like most cities, is charged with enforcing wastewater discharge
regulations. This is an onerous burden that is costly for local industry. This project will outline a
strategy for transforming this relationship into an economic development opportunity. By
targeting the profit potential for local business, the City should recognize improved performance
from its water and wastewater enterprise funds.
Many studies demonstrate the potential for large water efficiency improvements in the CII sector.
A review of California Best Management Practices prepared in 1991, citing numerous studies and
actual projects demonstrating high savings for CII users, concludes "It appears reasonable to
conclude that an average savings for the sector of 20% to 30% is achievable with extremely
favorable payback rates."' Recent work by the Seattle Water Department, based upon 26
commercial projects that city has co-sponsored, confirms this projection: "Based on the results of
this evaluation, customer survey interviews, and projected water rates, it is estimated that the
commercial incentive programs could save Seattle Water approximately eight million gallons per
day, or a twenty percent overall reduction in sector water use."' This savings rate, if duplicated in

the Emironmem, Vol. 13, No. 1: pp. 37-52.

Petaluma ff'atershed Grant Application Pate 1 of 10 The Bav Institute of San Francisco
Petaluma, is approximately 50 -fold greater than that projected for the default plan on the books
today.'
This project will outline a generic methodology for creating such projects in Petaluma, and
provide a feasibility study for one industrial demonstration project. The emphasis will be to
recommend a financial incentive system that will stimulate projects that significantly reduce the
volume of vvater and mass of pollutants discharged over a long time, irregardless of the
technology used. Rather than limiting the size of incentive to that which may be justified by
avoided water supply costs alone, the value of public savings in wastewater treatment and effluent
management will also be considered. The expected completion date for this project is not later
than June 30, 1998.
It must be noted that the project described herein — using the Rose Foundation grant — cannot be
assumed to provide a fully developed CII plan. This instead is an opportunity to accurately
describe what needs to be done, to whet the appetite, and thereby catalyze the Iarger effort.
Institutional Support
This project has been discussed with Mr. Tom Hargis, Director of Engineering for the City of
Petaluma, and was presented to the City Council at their regular meeting on December 15, 1997.
In accordance with Mr. Hargis' request, Mr. Orrett provided the estimate that this project could
result in the cost-effective expenditure of $l to $2 million in support of water efficiency projects
in Petaluma over the next five to ten years. A majority of the council members indicated their
support for the project. Sonoma County Water Agency ("Agency") water conservation staff also
expressed interest in this project, including exploring the feasibility of applying the methodology
developed herein to CII customers throughout the Agency's service area. The Agency has already
supported the City ofPetalumas and other cities and special districts it provides services to in
subsidizing the installation of water efficient toilets.
Relation to Existing Planning Methodology
This project will build upon existing work. Perhaps most important is an exhaustive study
commissioned by the Agency that established the economic basis for significant investments in
regional water conservation (cited previously: footnote 4). Secondly are guidelines for statewide
urban water conservation planning that define Best Management Practices.6 Significantly, Section
G of the latter document places economic incentives to encourage water conservation — the
subject of this project -- at the top of the list of Potential Best Management Practices. Rate
studies conducted by the City will also be important source material for this project.

Tasks
Kickoff Meeting
Upon notice of funding, The Bay Institute Executive Director, consultants, and key City and
Agency staff will meet to review the goals of this project and update the workplan as appropriate.
Work will commence simultaneously on the next two phases (Create Financial Incentive Plan and
Site Feasibility Study).
Create Financial Incentive Plan
1. Evaluate Avoided Costs
Innovative water efficiency programs provide financial incentives that are proportional to
water supply costs — the marginal costs — that are avoided. The Agency, which supplies water to
the City, has gone further in its water efficiency planning by also considering the marginal cost of
managing treated wastewater. This project will add a rare third potential benefit that applies
especially to CII customers -the marginal cost of removing pollutants from wastewater. The
combination of these three values — marginal water supply, wastewater disposal, and wastewater
treatment costs -- provides a yardstick with which to measure the level of public investment that is
justified for re -allocation to CII efficiency projects. Additional intangible benefits from such
projects include reduced environmental impact, improved financial stability of local industry, and
supporting jobs that contribute to ecological sustainability.
The limited funds available for this project preclude all but a cursory evaluation of these three
sources of avoided costs. Accordingly, the project will review established avoided cost estimates,
determine for what reasons they should be revised (e.g. ramifications of Endangered Species Act
listings of fish native to the Russian and Eel Rivers, and modifications to City treated wastewater
effluent operations), and possibly estimate current avoided costs.
2. Characterize Petaluma CII Sector Water Use
The size and characterization of the CII market will be estimated. This involves reviewing
City records to determine:
• Volume and timing of water use (indoor and outdoor)
• Number of users by category
• Pollutant discharge characteristics
• Detailed information about large users
Again, given the budget limitation, an exhaustive analysis cannot be made (one is anticipated in
the near future, however, when the City will retain a consulting firm to conduct a new rate study).
The objective is to identify the market for CII services well enough to intelligently design a
Financial Incentive Plan.
Petaluma {t"atershed Grant Application Page 3 of 10 The BavInstitute of San Francisco
3. Review Commercial Existing Efficiency Incentive Programs
Program information from other cities and agencies will be collected and reviewed. Key
information sought includes:
• Source of financing
• Eligibility requirements
• Financing feasibility studies
• Ratepayer equity issues
• Financial inducement mechanisms
• Cream skimming ("cherry picking") and free rider issues
• Performance evaluation
• Interaction with pretreatment program
• Program administrative costs
4. Outline Key Issues and Discuss with Staff
5. Develop Draft Financial Incentive Plan: Discuss with Staff and Participants
Selected by City
6. Prepare Recommended Financial Incentive Plan
Site Feasibility Study
A site feasibility study is included in this project for the purpose of developing tangible evidence
of the magnitude of savings and pollution prevention that are possible. Although insufficient
funds are available for a full-blown engineering study, enough is known about some sites already
that with relatively little additional work, the "tangible evidence" objective may be achieved. The
visceral understanding of the savings potential will help vitalize the additional effort required to
move beyond studies to a working program.
1. Select Site
The ideal site will be an industrial facility with which the consultant is familiar, and where
large flow and pollutant reductions may be achieved in a relatively straightforward manner. This
criterion is more reflective of the budget for this project than of ability to achieve savings.
Another requirement is an owner willing to participate. The public sharing of information, being
the recipient of a "subsidy," or the perceived expectation to invest in a project after a favorable
analysis are sensitive issues that could cause an owner to be hesitant about participation.
Petaluma li'atershed GrantApplication Page 4 of 10 The Baylnstitute of San Francisca
2. Describe Existing Resource Flows
Determine the baseline conditions of an industrial site: resource flows (e.g. water,
electricity, gas, chemicals) per unit of time. These should also be standardized by unit of
production, or other appropriate parameter, so efficiency can be measured relative to business
activity. For example, if a laundry instituted a project that decreased water use by half, but later
doubled its business, one might incorrectly assume no savings took place. When resource flows
are measured in terms of business activity (e.g. gallons of water per pound of laundry), savings
relative to baseline usage are clearly defined. Additionally, resource efficiency can be compared,
in this case, to other laundries to reveal relative performance.
3. Develop Plan for Improving Water Efficiency
4. Estimate Project Cost (perform simple pilot testing if possible)
S. Prepare Pro -Forma Financials for Owner and City/Agency Staff

PROJECT BUDGET
515,000, an amount sufficient to meet the minimum goals of this project, is requested. Details are
presented on Table 1. Additional funding will be sought from the Agency and interested cities to
allow developing three principal tasks in greater depth than this important seed financing permits:
• Develop a Generic Offer -- that is, a model contract document for use between the
City (or other Agency contractors) and CII customers who undertake efficiency
projects
• Update the avoided cost estimates, particularly of the Agency's water supply
• Co-sponsor a demonstration project

EVALUATION PROCEDURE
This project may be evaluated as a success when, within the projected three-month time span, the
deliverables described at the conclusion of Project Narrative (above) are produced. Should the
concept described herein attract supplemental funding, so much the better. More important
measures of success will become apparent later. These include the implementation of a CII
program in Petaluma based upon the recommendations of this study that accomplishes one or
more of the following:
• Reduces water use by an amount more than projected by Measure 3 of the 1995
Water and Wastewater Efficiency/Avoided Cost Study (the default indoor water
conservation program for CII customers noted in footnote 4: this projects a
maximum estimated savings of -8,600 gallons per day, whereas a 20% sector -wide
savings rate in Petaluma, as projected in Seattle, would total approximately
430,000 gpd for the same year)
• Reduces the load of pollutants reaching the wastewater treatment plant by a
measurable amount below trendlines (this is especially important for heavy metals,
which are difficult to reduce by treatment to the minuscule concentration preferred
for discharge to the shallow Petaluma River)
• Reduces wastewater ordinance compliance concerns for participating industrial.
customers
• Produces word-of-mouth referrals to the program due to bottom-line performance
• Generates credible industrial water efficiency business activity (a new service
category)
• Triggers the development of similar economic incentives for other water -saving
measures, such as irrigation efficiency improvements (inducement proportional to
measured results)
• City and Agency feted by economic development, taxpayer, and environmental
advocates
• Project provides evidence and methodology to help the inevitable transformation of
water/wastewater utility thinking from throughput to systems approach

RE: The Bay Institute's Watershed Grant Proposal to The Rose Foundation
Dear Mr. Davis:
Based upon the information provided to me, the City of Petaluma will be pleased to make use of the
technical assistance proposed in the attached grant application. The timing is excellent, for we anticipate
expanding our water conservation program to serve the commercial sector in greater depth beginning in
Fiscal Year 1999/2000 (currently, the City is sponsoring a commercial/institutional toilet retrofit program).
This project promises to create the generic methodology we need to develop a long -tern, highly effective
program.
The combination of pollution prevention with water conservation that the proposal describes, particularly
as it addresses the removal of metals at their source, will be especially beneficial for the City. Additionally,
the concept of approaching these goals within the context of local economic development creates
additional opportunities and alternatives.
I appreciate your selection of well qualified consultants, and hope we may proceed together next Spring.

Very truly yours,
Thomas S. Hargis, P.E.
