SUBJECT: STORM DRAIN DIVERSIONS SUPPORT SERVICES — AMENDMENT
NO. 1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH EVEREST
INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS, INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an increase in the scope of work for Everest International Consultants'
(Everest) Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $29,500 to extend the
existing two- dimensional hydrodynamic model for Newport Harbor into upper Newport
Bay.
DISCUSSION:
Last year, Everest performed a sampling and modeling study to consider five potential
storm drain diversions in the Harbor (at a cost of $57,613). Based on that study, Staff
recommends not proceeding with costly diversion projects and instead pursuing
potentially more effective water quality improvement projects.
The storm drain diversion study was presented to the County of Orange, Orange
County Sanitation District, and the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) and
was received favorably. Douglas Moore, Director of OCHCA, recommended extending
this study to the remaining storm drains in the Bay as well as along the coast of Orange
County.
At staff's request, Everest proposes to prepare a fully calibrated two- dimensional model
of the entire bay, and use this model to perform water quality modeling using selected
data from the University of California, Irvine. With this model, the City will have a very
useful tool that will be the basic platform needed for predicting transport of sediment,

bacteria, metals, and toxics within the Bay especially when discussions begin on TMDL
allocations. The model will be completed by April 15, 2005.
Everest is a leading expert in hydrodynamic and water quality studies and is the
consultant selected by the Army Corps of Engineers to create the first real three -
dimensional water quality model in southern California for the Santa Dominguez
estuary. A two- dimensional model of Newport Bay verified by Everest will be respected
by the Regional Board, County and other jurisdictional agencies.
Environmental Review:
The project was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15306 of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines at the time
the project was authorized by the City Council. This exemption covers basic research
which does not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.
Public Notice:
Not applicable.
