3. Public Comment on Agenda Items
Jim Mosher noted that he may have comments as the items come up. 4. Approval of Previous Meeting’s Minutes A motion to approve the February 4, 2016 meeting minutes was made. The minutes were approved unanimously. 5. Old Business
(a) Bay and Ocean Bacteriological Test Results
Monica Mazur provided several tables for Bay and Ocean Bacteriological Test Results in 2015 and 2016, noting violations, highlights and multiple comparisons between the two years. Overall, the City was said to be looking better this year than compared to 2015.
Bob Stein mentioned that upcoming changes to the standards for test results are expected to switch from fecal coliform to enterococcus. Jim Mosher asked if the results were available for viewing online elsewhere, as they were hard to see on the screen and were not included with the agenda. Mr. Mosher also noted two comments on Dog Beach were made at the recent Parks, Beaches and Recreation Meeting. It was mentioned that dogs at the beach created no health issue, and that water coming out of the Santa Ana River was so polluted that only dogs would want to swim in it. Mr. Mosher inquired if there was indeed a health issue, and if the pollution levels in the Santa Ana River could be seen in report data. Monica Mazur noted that there were two test stations in the Santa Ana River itself, which George Robertson indicated were no longer used. The committee discussed the topic of pollution levels and
Bob Stein mentioned that staff would look into available data on the beach; George
Robertson stated that the City could ask that the Orange County Sanitation District also provide some research into the matter. (b) Newport Aquatics Center (NAC) Sub-committee Report Dennis Baker discussed additional updates on the project, and indicated that he was working with the owner of Newport Harbor Shipyard. Mr. Baker noted that Jim Netzer, a board member of the Newport Aquatic Center, had expressed interest in the project. Dennis Baker further commented that while their efforts have been very productive, water usage was seasonal and the issue of water usage would always be present. Diane Dixon asked Mr. Baker where he would want to end up on the project; Dennis Baker mentioned that the goals of the project have expanded to include the possible capture of runoff.
Dennis Baker then discussed the issue of the monitoring and enforcement of non-compliance in the local shipyards. Bob Stein, Mark Vukojevic and staff noted that the City is proactive, and that shipyards do have specific NPDES, state and city
2
requirements. Shane Burckle noted however, that there are limits to what the City could mandate.
6. Current Business (a) 2015 Committee Goals and Priorities Bob Stein discussed updates on the Committee’s goals and priorities, beginning with the Big Canyon Water Quality Improvement Project. Shane Burckle indicated that the turf replacement program was nearly complete, and that the MET is highly unlikely to reinvigorate money for the program. In regards to the drought response goal, Mr. Burckle mentioned that the City was meeting the current water use reductions and that the state may reduce restrictions in the next month or so. Dennis Baker asked if the City still had the plans for the Santa Ana Delhi Estuarine Wetland Project from ten years ago. In regards to educational program goals, Judith Marquez commented on the Ocean Friendly Restaurants Program. Phil Bettencourt asked if the committee was interested in the possibility of the Newport Banning Land Trust as an educational opportunity.
George Robertson noted that Newport Harbor High School had an active mentoring program run by Debbie Brostek that might be of interest to Mr. Marquez.
(b) Enhanced Watershed Management Program Bob Stein discussed the draft 5th Term NPDES Stormwater permit and a Watershed Management Plan option. Mr. Stein noted that nationwide, TMDLs have not been effective in meeting its goals. Under this management plan option, agencies can produce their own plan under their NPDES permit based on certain criteria. While it would allow flexibility and customization, this also would mean that the Regional Board could enforce plan compliance under the permit. Bob Stein discussed the merits and risks of the plan option, noting that the City’s ASBS compliance plan could serve as the basis for a watershed management plan. Dennis Baker asked if the plan option would give the City more power of influence towards upstream neighbors. Judith Marquez discussed the Ocean Friendly Restaurants Program as a possible component of the plan, and Tom
Houston discussed the issue of vegetation and trash. Bob Stein concluded with a recommendation to exercise the plan option for certain constituents. Mark Vukojevic noted that there were two tracts; staying with the safety and pace of the group at the County level, or going with an individual route, with its own risks and benefits. (c) Newport Bay Waterwheel Project Mark Ward and Bob Stein provided an introduction on the Baltimore water wheel and the City’s proposed water wheel project, and Hazel McIntosh provided a detailed overview of the CEQA preparation process. Ms. McIntosh discussed the multitude of environmental factors that would be taken into account, as well as aesthetic, biological and community impacts from the project. Discussions amongst the committee included design aspects, location, maintenance, and possible issues with the use of the nearby access road and trail. Diane Dixon asked how the Baltimore water wheel dealt with community concerns such as noise and visual impact. Tom Houston noted that this project was a righteous project to consider, and an opportunity to make a big dent in trash reduction. Nancy Gardner commented on agency support from the California
3
Department of Fish & Wildlife. Duffy Duffield discussed tidal/flood events and the difficulty of removing trash and debris stuck in the reed grass. Lou Denger inquired about the project in regards to flow capacity and weather monitoring, and Dennis
Baker asked if there was a reverse flow issue. Diane Dixon inquired about project scheduling; Mark Vukojevic briefly discussed the next part of the process, including submittals and funding. Mark Ward noted that the Surfrider Foundation would be willing to provide $5,000 for biological consulting services. (d) Big Canyon Water Quality Project Update Mark Vukojevic discussed updates to the Big Canyon Water Quality Project, including project schedules, selenium sources and issues, and design aspects. Bob Stein noted that the project has more construction unknowns as compared to most standard projects, and that there would be some constructability issues in the winter. Tom Houston asked why the project was taking so long; Mark Vukojevic noted the length of time involved with environmental approvals and California Coastal Commission permits. Further discussion took place amongst the committee on funding and overall costs.

Nationwide, TMDLs have not proven effective.
Regulatory options are limited (e.g. Abatement Orders).
Carrot: Allow the stakeholder to generate a reasonable
plan and longer implementation schedule under the
umbrella of the NPDES permit.
Caution: Regional Board can enforce plan compliance
under the authority of the NPDES permit.
Watershed Management Plan Option
