PIZZA: Sentinel Capital Partners sold Southern California Pizza Co., the largest Pizza Hut franchisee in Southern California, to private equity firm Sterling Investment Partners in December. The franchise operator owns 224 locations in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and north Orange counties. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

El Segundo, CA – NanoH2O, a small clean-tech manufac-turing company, has suc-

cessfully secured a storm water discharge permit from the Regional Water Quality Con-trol Board to aid the Company in sustaining its California-based operations. The terms of the arrangement enable the Company to offset drastically escalating operational costs stemming from its manufacturing water discharge. El Segundo’s Economic Development Department worked closely with NanoH2O’s management team to de-velop a feasible and sustainable solution.

“The City was great to work with. They came in and rapidly assessed problems and identified potential solutions and resources that could assist us with the challenge at hand,” commented Freidoon Rastegar, Di-rector of Engineering for NanoH2O.

Due to the nature of its manufacturing and quality assurance (QA) processes, Nano-H2O discharges relatively large quantities of water on a daily basis. The discharged water is a byproduct of the Company’s high pressure water test procedures used to validate the performance of its commer-cial product: reverse osmosis membranes for desalination. Interestingly enough, the Company’s water discharge actually con-tains fewer impurities than the source wa-ter they purchase from the local water dis-trict. However, the challenge was rooted in the city’s sanitary sewer system, managed by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Dis-trict, which charges its customers accord-ing to volume regardless of water quality.

“A solution had to be obtained that would allow NanoH2O to discharge its filtered water without being charged a standard

rate by the Sanitation District,” said Ted Shove, Economic Development Manager for the City of El Segundo. “We encouraged NanoH2O to explore the possibility of apply-ing for a storm water discharge permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board. This would actually make better use of NanoH2O’s filtered water discharge by re-plenishing local groundwater resources.”

On May 2nd, after a thirteen-month-long pro-cess, NanoH2O successfully secured a storm water discharge permit approved unani-mously by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, based on an extensive review by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“City staff worked closely with our en-gineers to formulate a plan for long term growth and stability,” said Jeff Green, Chief Executive Officer of NanoH2O. “This plan in-cluded out-of-the-box thinking by securing a permit from an outside agency. Without this permit, NanoH2O could not have sustained its existing operations in California.”

This new agreement will allow the continu-ance of NanoH2O as a successful global yet locally-based clean-tech firm, serving as a conduit to new capital and providing “new money” to the community and region through increased spending power by the Company and its employees.
