Refers to the demonstration of sufficient revenues, credit worthiness and fiscal management and controls. 1
2 OPERATORS Public health is rapidly expanding both in scope and in the application of technical methods. The necessity for training was an important reason for the passage of laws in 1918 requiring licenses for persons employed as superintendents or operators. The necessity for employing trained and qualified personnel has become imperative. Preface to the New Jersey State Department of Health s Rules and Regulations on Licensing of Superintendents or Operators of Public Water Treatment Plants, Public Sewage Treatment Plants, and Public Water Supply Systems, published NEW JERSEY REGULATIONS CLASS 3 & 4 WATER SYSTEMS NEED FT OPERATOR FULL TIME OPERATOR 7 HOURS PER DAY, 5 DAYS PER WEEK, 35 HOURS PER WEEK EXCEPTION - FULLY AUTOMATED SYSTEM NEW JERSEY OPERATORS 2010 FACILITIES T-3 33 T-4 36 OPERATORS Is there really an operator shortage in New Jersey?

3 NEVER TRY TO TEACH A PIG TO SING IT S A WASTE OF YOUR TIME AND IT ANNOYS THE PIG BSDW RESPONSE IF WE CAN T DEFEND A DECISION BASED ON REGULATION, RATIONALITY AND THE PROTECTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH, WE SHOULDN T HAVE MADE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. RESOLUTION CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROTOCOL FOR NEW REQUESTS DO T-3 & T-4 FACILITIES HAVE SUCCESSION PLANNING IN PLACE? DO UTILITIES ALLOW APPROPRIATE TRAINING FOR IN HOUSE STAFF TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN CERTIFICATION? DO YOU PRACTICE FULLCOST PRICING? CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROTOCOL FOR NEW REQUESTS DO YOU HAVE AN ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN?? WHY DO MUNICIPAL BUDGET SHORTFALLS AFFECT WATER SYSTEM OPERATIONS?? BSDW Succession Planning Survey of T 3 and T 4 Systems 69 systems surveyed, 68 responses 1) Operator s Name, License held, Hours/week 2) Back up Operator s Name, License held, Hours/week 3) List all licensed personnel and T license held 4) If you plan to have staff certified, indicate anticipated time to acquire each level of license 5) Do you plan to hire outside personnel? 3
4 Do systems in NJ have adequate coverage? GOOD NEWS 44 of 69 had full time LO, full time backup LO and holding appropriate licenses 2 had issues with primary LO coverage 14 had issues with back up LO coverage 9 had issues with both Working cooperatively with systems to ensure adequate coverage Since the survey, some issues resolved: primary LO coverage Was 2, Now zero back up LO coverage Was 14, Now 4 Both Was 9, Now zero OPERATOR CERTIFICATION OPERATOR CERTIFICATION NJDEP PROVIDES FULL TUITION DISCOUNT FOR INTRODUCTORY AND ADVANCED COURSES IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO TAKE THE TEST.

9 Asset Inventory What assets do I have? When was it installed? How much did it cost? When was the last major repair? What maintenance will you perform on it this year? What is the typical routine maintenance and when is it performed? Do you have or know where to get replacement parts? Will you be financially prepared to replace a major component if it fails? O&M Tasks What are routine tasks? How often are they performed? Do you keep records of completing these tasks? Where? How do you ensure that tasks are completed? Finances CUPSS MODULES What are my sources of revenue? What are my expenses? How much will it cost to repair/replace an asset? When will I have to repair/replace an asset? 1) My Inventory 2) My O&M 3) My Finances 4) My Check Up Reports 5) My CUPSS Plan 9
10 My Inventory Identify your assets Basic Information Type, Name, Location Status and Condition Condition, Consequence of Failure (CoF), Redundancy, Can asset be repaired/replaced?

16 Very Small Water Systems Loan Very Small Water System defined as serving a population 500 DEP only loan for very small systems Can receive a principal forgiveness (PF) loan up to $500,000, as long as they supply at last 15% of the project costs themselves using outside lenders or the NJDEP base program if credit worthy Larger systems can utilize this program to make infrastructure improvements to the smaller water system that they have acquired. Small Systems Water Loan For systems serving a population 10,000 Can receive a loan up to $1M with project costs allocated as follows: 50% as Principal Forgiveness 25% as zero interest loan 25% as NJEIT market rate With priority as follows Serving population 500 Serving population 501 to 3,300 Serving population 3,301 to 10,000 Small System Loans In FFY 2016, the NJDEP will also provide VSWS or SWS loans to larger (> 10,000 statewide) more viable water systems which are willing to take ownership of small water systems in the calendar year 2015 or later, and make needed capital improvements. Therefore, the larger water systems would be eligible for the same enhanced loan terms as the otherwise eligible small water system. Restrictions to VSWS and SWS Loan Program Limit of $500,000 principal forgiveness for any individual water system in any three year funding cycle. VSWS and SWS loans are unavailable to private and public utilities who serve >10,000 persons statewide, except these larger systems can utilize the VSWS and WSWS to make infrastructure improvements to small water systems that they have recently acquired (since 2015) Principal Forgiveness for Municipally Owned Systems for Treatment of a Primary Contaminant Municipally owned systems needing treatment for a primary contaminant, as follows: 20% of total project costs (up to $2M) will be awarded as principal forgiveness loans $40% of total projects costs (up to $4M) will be awarded as zero interest loans from NJDEP 40% of total projects costs (up to $4M0 will be awarded as a loan at market rate from the Trust If total project cost is more than $10M, balance greater than $10M will be 75% zero interest from NJDEP and 25% market rate from Trust Readiness to Proceed Proposing to grant priority status to DWSRF ranked projects that are ready to proceed based on the date of project approval. A listing of active projects and key milestone dates with target dates or actual completion dates for all active drinking water projects on the DEP website and the NJEIT website will be posted quarterly. Strong incentive for applicants to submit necessary application related documents and secure approvals as soon as possible. 16
17 How Readiness to Proceed affects PF Projected amounts of principal forgiveness funds must be less than 30% of the capitalization grant. For the FFY 2016 fiscal year, principal forgiveness money will be allocated in priority order to: 1. Very Small Systems 2. Small Systems 3. Municipal systems with a primary contaminant issue Any unused principal forgiveness funds not used in a calendar year will be transferred to the next calendar year. Equipment Loans Proposing to reserve up to $1M for equipment purchases. For the purposes of the equipment purchase reserve, equipment is limited to portable generators and other equipment where construction services (such as the installation of a pad to support a generator) are not needed to effectuate the project.
