Narrative Project
Description:
(Use as much space as
necessary.)
The proposed project is 0.56-acre site located at 2122 & 2132 Orchard Drive. The
site presently has two houses that will be demolished to make way for a new
office building. The site currently drains to a catch basin inlet in Birch Street.
The project’s pervious and impervious areas are shown on the BMP Exhibit (Site
Plan) in Section VI. Total landscape/ open space for the site is approximately 0.11
acres. The proposed landscaping consists of drought tolerant material, some of
which will be native. Project's impervious areas such as roofs, asphalt and
concrete area will drain to inlets proposed in the parking lot and drain to an
underground retention basin.
To conform to LID requirements, the project proposes an underground
infiltration basin. The basin will be designed to store the design capture volume
of the 85th percentile storm.
Proposed building will be used for office space and expected to have 20-25
employees. Trash receptacle is proposed on the site for solid waste disposal. No
outdoor material storage area, vehicle washing and cleaning, food preparation
facilities are proposed for the site.
Christopher Guldjian, the owner of the project will be responsible for
maintenance of the infiltration BMP. Long term maintenance includes
maintaining LID BMPs, onsite storm structures and BMP education programs.

IV.4.1 Water Quality Credits
Description of Proposed Project
Project Types that Qualify for Water Quality Credits (Select all that apply):
Redevelopment
projects that reduce the
overall impervious
footprint of the project
site.
Brownfield redevelopment, meaning
redevelopment, expansion, or reuse of real
property which may be complicated by the
presence or potential presence of hazardous
substances, pollutants or contaminants, and
which have the potential to contribute to
adverse ground or surface WQ if not
redeveloped.
Higher density development projects which
include two distinct categories (credits can only
be taken for one category): those with more
than seven units per acre of development (lower
credit allowance); vertical density
developments, for example, those with a Floor
to Area Ratio (FAR) of 2 or those having more
than 18 units per acre (greater credit allowance).
Mixed use development, such as a
combination of residential, commercial,
industrial, office, institutional, or other land
uses which incorporate design principles that
can demonstrate environmental benefits that
would not be realized through single use
projects (e.g. reduced vehicle trip traffic with
the potential to reduce sources of water or air
pollution).
Transit-oriented developments, such as a
mixed use residential or commercial area
designed to maximize access to public
transportation; similar to above criterion, but
where the development center is within one
half mile of a mass transit center (e.g. bus, rail,
light rail or commuter train station). Such
projects would not be able to take credit for
both categories, but may have greater credit
assigned
Redevelopment projects
in an established historic
district, historic
preservation area, or similar
significant city area
including core City Center
areas (to be defined through
mapping).
Developments with
dedication of
undeveloped portions to
parks, preservation
areas and other pervious
uses.
Developments
in a city center
area.
Developments
in historic
districts or
historic
preservation
areas.
Live-work
developments, a variety of
developments designed to
support residential and
vocational needs together –
similar to criteria to mixed
use development; would not
be able to take credit for
both categories.
In-fill projects, the
conversion of empty lots
and other underused spaces
into more beneficially used
spaces, such as residential
or commercial areas.

The tips contained in this brochure provide useful
information to help prevent water pollution while
using, storing and disposing of paint. If you
have other suggestions, please contact your city’s
stormwater representatives or call the Orange
County Stormwater Program.
Clean beaches
and healthy
creeks, rivers, bays
and ocean are important to
Orange County. However,
many common activities
such as painting can lead
to water pollution if you’re
not careful. Paint must be
used, stored and disposed of
properly to ensure that it does
not enter the street, gutter or
storm drain. Unlike water in
sanitary sewers (from sinks
and toilets), water in storm
drains is not treated before
entering our waterways.
You would never dump paint
into the ocean, so don’t let
it enter the storm drains.
Follow these easy tips to help
prevent water pollution.

PA2021-002
Tips for Pool Maintenance
Paint can cause significant damage to our
environment. Whether you hire a contractor or
do it yourself, it is important to follow these simple
tips when purchasing, using, cleaning, storing and
disposing of paint.
Purchasing Paint
Measure the room or object to be painted, then buy
only the amount needed.
Whenever possible, use water-based paint since it
usually does not require hazardous solvents such as
paint thinner for cleanup.
Painting
Use only one brush or roller per color of paint to
reduce the amount of water needed for cleaning.
Place open paint containers or trays on a stable
surface and in a position that is unlikely to spill.
Always use a tarp under the area or object being
painted to collect paint drips and contain spills.
Cleaning
Never clean brushes or rinse paint containers in the
street, gutter or storm drain.
For oil-based products, use as much of the paint on
the brushes as possible. Clean brushes with thinner.
To reuse thinner, pour it through a fine filter (e.g.
nylon, metal gauze or filter paper) to remove solids
such as leftover traces of paint.
For water-based products, use as much of the paint
on the brushes as possible, then rinse in the sink.
Collect all paint chips and dust. Chips and dust
from marine paints or paints containing lead,
mercury or tributyl tin are hazardous waste. Sweep
up and dispose of at a Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Center (HHWCC).
Storing Paint
Store paint in a dry location away from the elements.
Store leftover water-based paint, oil-based paint and
solvents separately in original or clearly marked
containers.
Avoid storing paint cans directly on cement floors.
The bottom of the can will rust much faster on
cement.
Place the lid on firmly and store the paint can upside-
down to prevent air from entering. This will keep the
paint usable longer. Oil-based paint is usable for up
to 15 years. Water-based paint remains usable for up
to 10 years.
Alternatives to Disposal
Use excess paint to apply another coat, for touch-ups,
or to paint a closet, garage, basement or attic.
Give extra paint to friends or family. Extra paint can
also be donated to a local theatre group, low-income
housing program or school.
Take extra paint to an exchange program such as the
“Stop & Swap” that allows you to drop off or pick up
partially used home care products free of charge.
“Stop & Swap” programs are available at most
HHWCCs.
For HHWCC locations and hours, call (714) 834-6752
or visit www.oclandfills.com.
Disposing of Paint
Never put wet paint in the trash.
For water-based paint:
If possible, brush the leftover paint on cardboard or
newspaper. Otherwise, allow the paint to dry in the
can with the lid off in a well-ventilated area protected
from the elements, children and pets. Stirring the
paint every few days will speed up the drying.
Large quantities of extra paint should be taken to a
HHWCC.
Once dried, paint and painted surfaces may be
disposed of in the trash. When setting a dried paint
can out for trash collection, leave the lid off so the
collector will see that the paint has dried.
For oil-based paint:
Oil-based paint is a household hazardous waste.
All leftover paint should be taken to a HHWCC.
Aerosol paint:
Dispose of aerosol paint cans at a HHWCC.
Spills
Never hose down pavement or other impermeable
surfaces where paint has spilled.
Clean up spills immediately by using an absorbent
material such as cat litter. Cat litter used to clean
water-based paint spills can be disposed of in the
trash. When cleaning oil-based paint spills with cat
litter, it must be taken to a HHWCC.
Immediately report spills that have entered the
street, gutter or storm drain to the County’s 24-Hour
Water Pollution Problem Reporting Hotline at (714)
567-6363 or visit www.ocwatersheds.com to fill out an
incident reporting form.

Pet Waste• Pollution: Pet waste carries bacteria through our watersheds and eventually will be washed out to the ocean. This can pose a health risk to swimmers and surfers.
• Solution: Pick up after your pets!
Trash and Debris• Pollution: Trash and debris can enter waterways by wind, littering and careless maintenance of trash receptacles. Street sweeping collects some of this trash; however, much of what isn’t captured ends up in our storm drain system where it flows untreated out to the ocean.
• Solution: Don’t litter and make sure trash containers are properly covered. It is far more expensive to clean up the litter and trash that ends up in our waterways than it is to prevent it in the first place. Come out to one of Orange County’s many locations for Coastal and Inner-Coastal Cleanup Day, which is held in September.
Motor Oil / Vehicle Fluids• Pollution: Oil and petroleum products from our vehicles are toxic to people, wildlife and plants.
• Solution: Fix any leaks from your vehicle and keep the maintenance up on your car. Use absorbent material such as cat litter on oil spills, then sweep it up and dispose of it in the trash. Recycle used motor oil at a local Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center.
Low Impact Development, Water Conservation & Pollution Prevention
The Ocean Begins at Your Front Door
DID YOU KNOW?
Homeowners Guide
for Sustainable Water Use
A TEAM EFFORT
The Orange County Stormwater Program has teamed with the
Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) and the University
of California Cooperative Extension Program (UCCE) to develop this
pamphlet.
Low Impact Development (LID) and sustainable water use prevents
water pollution and conserves water for drinking and reuse. Reducing
your water use and the amount of water flowing from your home
protects the environment and saves you money.
Thank you for making water protection
a priority!

Pesticides and Fertilizer • Pollution: The same pesticides that are designed to be toxic to pests can have an equally lethal impact on our marine life. The same fertilizer that promotes plant growth in lawns and gardens can also create nuisance algae blooms, which remove oxygen from the water and clog waterways when it decomposes.
• Solution: Never use pesticides or fertilizer within 48 hours of an anticipated rainstorm. Use only as much as is directed on the label and keep it off driveways and sidewalks.
Dirt and Sediment• Pollution: Dirt or sediment can impede the flow of the stormwater and negatively impact stream habitat as it travels through waterways and deposits downstream. Pollutants can attach to sediment, which can then be transported through our waterways.
• Solution: Protect dirt stockpiles by covering them with tarps or secure plastic sheets to prevent wind or rain from allowing dirt or sediment to enter the storm drain system.
Metals• Pollution: Metals and other toxins present in car wash water can harm important plankton, which forms the base of the aquatic food chain.
• Solution: Take your car to a commercial car wash where the wash water is captured and treated at a local wastewater treatment plant.
The Pollution SolutionSeveral residential activities can result in water pollution. Among these activities are car washing and hosing off driveways and sidewalks. Both activities can waste water and result in excess runoff. Water conservation methods described in this pamphlet can prevent considerable amounts of runoff and conserve water. By taking your car to a commercial car wash and by sweeping driveways and sidewalks, you can further prevent the transport of pollutants to Orange County waterways. Here
are some of the common pollutants for which you can be part of the solution:

OPTIONS FOR RAINWATER HARvESTINg AND REUSE
Rainwater harvesting is a great way to save money, prevent pollution and reduce potable water use. To harvest your rainwater, simply redirect the runoff from roofs and downspouts to rain barrels. Rain gardens are another option; these reduce runoff as well as encourage infiltration.
Downspout
Disconnection/RedirectionDisconnecting downspouts from pipes running to the gutter prevents runoff from transporting pollutants to the storm drain. Once disconnected, downspouts can be redirected to rain gardens or other vegetated areas, or be connected to a rain barrel.
Rain BarrelsRain barrels capture rainwater flow from roofs for reuse in landscape irrigation. Capacity of rain barrels needed for your home will depend on the amount of roof area and rainfall received. When purchasing your rain barrel, make sure it includes a screen, a spigot to siphon water for use, an overflow tube to allow for excess water to run out and a connector if you wish to connect multiple barrels to add capacity of water storage.
Mosquito growth prevention is very important when installing a rain barrel. The best way to prevent mosquito breeding is to eliminate entry points by ensuring all openings are sealed tightly. If these methods are unsuccessful, products are available to kill mosquito larvae, but that are harmless to animals and humans. Regular application of these products is essential.

Rain gardens allow runoff to be directed from your roof downspout into a landscaped area. Vegetation and rocks in
the garden will slow the flow of water to allow for infiltration into the soil. Plants and soil particles will absorb pollutants from
the roof runoff. By utilizing a native plant palate, rain gardens can be maintained all year with minimal additional irrigation.
These plants are adapted to the semi-arid climate of Southern California, require less water and can reduce your water bill.
Before modifying your yard to install a rain
garden, please consult your local building and/or planning departments to ensure your garden plan
follows pertinent building codes and ordinances. Besides codes and ordinances, some home
owner associations also have guidelines for yard modifications. If your property is in hill areas
or includes engineered slopes, please seek professional advice before proceeding
with changes.

For information on how to disconnect a downspout or to install and maintain a
rain barrel or rain garden at your home, please see the Los Angeles Rainwater
Harvesting Program, A Homeowner’s “How-To” Guide, November 2009 at
www.larainwaterharvesting.org/
Water runoff from sprinklers left on too long will carry pollutants into our waterways.
Permeable pavement allows water runoff to
infiltrate through the soil and prevents most
pollutants from reaching the storm drain system.
What is Low Impact Development (LID)?
Low Impact Development (LID) is a method of development that seeks to maintain the natural
hydrologic character of an area. LID provides a more sustainable and pollution-preventative
approach to water management.
New water quality regulations require implementation of LID in larger new developments and
encourage implementation of LID and other sustainable practices in existing residential areas.
Implementing modifications to your lawn or garden can reduce pollution in our environment, conserve
water and reduce your water bill.
Where Does Water Runoff Go?
Stormwater, or water from rainfall events, and runoff from outdoor water use such as
sprinklers and hoses flows from homes directly into catch basins and the storm drain
system. After entering the storm drain, the water flows untreated into streams, rivers,
bays and ultimately the Pacific Ocean. Runoff can come from lawns, gardens, driveways,
sidewalks and roofs. As it flows over hard, impervious surfaces, it picks up pollutants.
Some pollutants carried by the water runoff include trash, pet waste, pesticides, fertilizer,
motor oil and more.
Water Conservation
Pollution not only impairs the water quality for habitat and recreation, it can also reduce
the water available for reuse. Runoff allowed to soak into the ground is cleaned as it
percolates through the soil, replenishing depleted groundwater supplies. Groundwater
provides approximately 50% of the total water for drinking and other indoor household
activities in north and central Orange County. When land is covered with roads, parking
lots, homes, etc., there is less land to take in the water and more hard surfaces over which
the water can flow.
In Orange County, 60-70% of water used by residents and businesses goes to irrigation
and other outdoor uses. Reusing rainwater to irrigate our lawn not only reduces the impact
of water pollution from runoff, but it also is a great way to conserve our precious water
resources and replenish our groundwater basin.
Permeable pavement allows water runoff to infiltrate through the soil and prevents most pollutants from reaching the storm drain system.
OTHER WATER CONSERvATION AND POLLUTION PREvENTION TECHNIqUES
Native Vegetation and Maintenance
“California Friendly” plants or native vegetation can significantly
reduce water use. These plants often require far less fertilizers
and pesticides, which are two significant pollutants found in
Orange County waterways. Replacing water “thirsty” plants and
grass types with water efficient natives is a great way to save water
and reduce the need for potentially harmful pesticides and fertilizer.
Please see the California Friendly Garden Guide produced by the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and associated
Southern California Water Agencies for a catalog of California
friendly plants and other garden resources at
www.bewaterwise.com/Gardensoft.
Weed Free Yards
Weeds are water thieves.
They often reproduce quickly
and rob your yard of both
water and nutrients. Weed
your yard by hand if possible.
If you use herbicides to
control the weeds, use only
the amount recommended on
the label and never use it if
rain is forecast within the next
48 hours.
Soil Amendments
Soil amendments such as green waste (e.g. grass clippings,
compost, etc.) can be a significant source of nutrients and can help
keep the soil near the roots of plants moist. However, they can
cause algal booms if they get into our waterways, which reduces
the amount of oxygen in the water and impacts most aquatic
organisms. It is important to apply soil amendments more than 48
hours prior to predicted rainfall.
IRRIgATE EFFICIENTLY
Smart Irrigation
Controllers
Smart Irrigation Controllers have internal clocks as well as sensors that will turn off the sprinklers in response to environmental changes. If it is raining, too windy or too cold, the smart irrigation control sprinklers will automatically shut off.
Check with your local water agency for available re-bates on irrigation controllers and smart timers.
• Aim your sprinklers at your lawn, not the sidewalk – By simply adjusting the direction of your sprinklers you can save water, prevent water pollution from runoff, keep your lawn healthy and save money.
• Set a timer for your sprinklers – lawns absorb the water they need to stay healthy within a few minutes of turning on the sprinklers. Time your sprinklers; when water begins running off your lawn, you can turn them off. Your timer can be set to water your lawn for this duration every time.
• Water at Sunrise – Watering early in the morning will reduce water loss due to evaporation. Additionally, winds tend to die down in the early morning so the water will get to the lawn as intended.
• Water by hand – Instead of using sprinklers, consider watering your yard by hand. Hand-watering ensures that all plants get the proper amount of water and you will prevent any water runoff, which wastes water and carries pollutants into our waterways.
• Fix leaks - Nationwide, households waste one trillion gallons of water a year to leaks – that is enough water to serve the entire state of Texas for a year. If your garden hose is leaking, replace the nylon or rubber hose washer and ensure a tight connection. Fix broken sprinklers immediately.

Leftover household products that contain
corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive
ingredients are
considered to
be “household
hazardous waste”
or “HHW.” HHW
can be found
throughout your
home, including the
bathroom, kitchen,
laundry room and
garage.
Disposal of HHW down the drain, on the
ground, into storm drains, or in the trash
is illegal and unsafe.
Proper disposal of HHW is actually easy.
Simply drop them off at a Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Center
(HHWCC) for free disposal and recycling.
Many materials including anti-freeze, latex-
based paint, motor oil and batteries can
be recycled. Some centers have a “Stop &

Preventing water
pollution at your
commercial/industrial site
Clean beaches and healthy creeks, rivers,
bays and ocean are important to Orange
County. However, many landscape and
building maintenance activities can lead to
water pollution if you’re not careful. Paint,
chemicals, plant clippings and other materials
can be blown or washed into storm drains that
flow to the ocean. Unlike water in sanitary
sewers (from sinks and toilets), water in storm
drains is not treated before entering our
waterways.
You would never pour soap or fertilizers into
the ocean, so why would you let them enter the
storm drains? Follow these easy tips to help
prevent water pollution.

Tips for Pool Maintenance
Call your trash hauler to replace leaking
dumpsters.
Do not dump any toxic substance or
liquid waste on the pavement, the
ground, or near a
storm drain. Even
materials that
seem harmless
such as latex paint
or biodegradable
cleaners can
damage the
environment.
Recycle paints, solvents and other
materials. For more information about
recycling and collection centers, visit
www.oclandfills.com.
Store materials indoors or under cover
and away from storm drains.
Use a construction and demolition
recycling company to recycle lumber,
paper, cardboard, metals, masonry,
carpet, plastic, pipes, drywall, rocks,
dirt, and green waste. For a listing of
construction and demolition recycling
locations in your area, visit
www.ciwmb.ca.gov/recycle.
Properly label materials. Familiarize
employees with Material
Safety Data Sheets.
Landscape Maintenance
Compost grass clippings, leaves, sticks
and other vegetation, or dispose of it at
a permitted landfill or in green waste
containers. Do not dispose of these
materials in the street, gutter or storm
drain.
Irrigate slowly and inspect the system
for leaks, overspraying and runoff.
Adjust automatic timers to avoid
overwatering.
Follow label directions for the use and
disposal of fertilizers and pesticides.
Do not apply pesticides or fertilizers if
rain is expected within 48 hours or if
wind speeds are above 5 mph.
Do not spray pesticides within 100 feet
of waterways.
Fertilizers should be worked into the
soil rather than dumped onto the
surface.
If fertilizer is spilled on the pavement
or sidewalk, sweep it up immediately
and place it back in the container.
Building Maintenance
Never allow washwater, sweepings or
sediment to enter the storm drain.
Sweep up dry spills and use cat litter,
towels or similar materials to absorb wet
spills. Dispose of it in the trash.
If you wash your building, sidewalk or
parking lot, you must contain the water.
Use a shop vac to collect the water and
contact your city or sanitation agency
for proper disposal information. Do
not let water enter the street, gutter or
storm drain.
Use drop cloths underneath outdoor
painting, scraping, and sandblasting
work, and properly dispose of materials
in the trash.
Use a ground cloth or oversized tub for
mixing paint and cleaning tools.
Use a damp mop or broom to clean
floors.
Cover dumpsters to keep insects,
animals, rainwater and sand from
entering. Keep the area around the
dumpster clear of trash and debris. Do
not overfill the dumpster.

•Choose an effective option. Try various types of controls first: washing
bugs off plants, pruning diseased parts of plants. If you need to use
pest control products, choose one that targets the problem and poses
the least hazard.
•Finally, it’s easier to prevent pests than to control them.
Before Buying Pest Control Products
•Identify the pest.
•Decide if pest control products are the best control measure or if there
are alternatives available.
•Are integrated pest management guidelines available for this pest?
•Read the product label:
Is the pest listed on the label?
Is it the best product for the pest?
Before Mixing Your Sprayer
•Read the label carefully.
•Buy only enough pesticide to treat the area
affected by the pest.
•Check the weather and don’t apply if
it’s windy or about to rain
•Measure the area you’re treating.
•Calculate how much spray to mix.
•Wear long sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes and any other protective
equipment listed on the label and follow all the label precautions.
•Be prepared for spills and know how to clean them up.
When You’re Ready To Spray
•Mix and load spray in an area where any spilled pesticide will not be
able to drain or be washed away into storm drains, ditches, streams,
ponds or other bodies of water.
•Mix sprayer on grass, not the sidewalk or driveway.
•Mix only as much as needed.
When You’re Spraying
•AVOID spraying in or near storm drains, ditches, streams, and ponds!
•Leave an untreated strip around these areas to protect the water.
When You’re done
•Never dump leftovers down any drain; Save for a future application.
•Triple-rinse sprayer and apply rinsewater to treated area.
•Take any old or unwanted pesticides to a Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Center (714) 834-6752.
With Integrated Pest Management (IPM), homeowners use common
sense and nature to make it difficult for pests to survive. IPM techniques
include cultural practices (such as mulching to prevent weeds),
encouraging natural enemies (good bugs), and judicious use of pest
control products.
•First, identify your pest problem. To find the best solution, you need to
pin down the problem. Consult gardening books, your county
cooperative extension office or your local nursery.
•Decide how much pest control is necessary. If you can live with some
pest damage, you can avoid intensive pest control product treatments.
Think ahead.

Key Steps to Follow:
Step 1: Correctly identify the pest (insect,
weed, rodent, or disease) and verify that it is
actually causing the problem.
This is important
because beneficial
insects are often
mistaken for pests
and sprayed with pesticides needlessly.
Consult with a
Certified Nursery
Professional at a local nursery or garden center or send a sample of the pest to the Orange
County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office.
Determine if the pest is still present – even
though you see damage, the pest may have left.
Step 2: Determine
how many pests are
present and causing
damage.
Small pest populations
may be controlled
more safely using non-
pesticide techniques. These include removing food sources, washing off leaves with a strong
stream of water, blocking entry into the home
using caulking and replacing problem plants
with ones less susceptible to pests.
Step 3: If a pesticide must be used, choose the least toxic chemical.
Obtain information on the least toxic pesticides
that are effective at controlling the target
pest from the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program’s Web site at
www.ipm.ucdavis.edu.
Seek out the assistance of a Certified Nursery
Professional at a local nursery or garden center when selecting a pesticide. Purchase the
smallest amount of pesticide available.
Apply the pesticide to the pest during its most
vulnerable life stage. This information can be found on the pesticide label.
Step 4: Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Follow pesticide labels regarding specific types of protective equipment you should wear.
Protective clothing should always be washed
separately from other clothing.
Step 5: Continuously monitor external conditions when applying pesticides such as
weather, irrigation, and the presence of children
and animals.
Never apply pesticides when rain is predicted within the next 48 hours. Also, do not water
after applying pesticides unless the directions say
it is necessary.
Apply pesticides when the air is still; breezy conditions may cause the spray or dust to drift
away from your targeted area.
In case of an emergency call 911 and/or the
regional poison control number at (714) 634-5988 or (800) 544-4404 (CA only).
For general questions you may also visit www.calpoison.org.
Step 6: In the event of accidental spills,
sweep up or use an absorbent agent to remove
any excess pesticides. Avoid the use of water.
Be prepared. Have a broom, dust pan, or dry
absorbent material, such as cat litter, newspapers
or paper towels, ready to assist in cleaning up
spills.
Contain and clean up the spill right away. Place
contaminated materials in a doubled plastic bag.
All materials used to clean up the spill should
be properly disposed of according to your local Household Hazardous Waste Disposal site.
Step 7: Properly store and dispose of unused
pesticides.
Purchase Ready-To-
Use (RTU) products
to avoid storing
large concentrated
quantities of pesticides.
Store unused chemicals in a locked cabinet.
Unused pesticide chemicals may be disposed of at a Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Center.
Empty pesticide containers should be triple
rinsed prior to disposing of them in the trash.

What is a
Sewage Spill?
You Are Responsible for a
Sewage Spill Caused by a Blockage
or Break in Your Sewer Lines!
Grease builds up inside and eventually blocks
sewer pipes. Grease gets into the sewer from food
establishments, household drains, as well as from poorly
maintained commercial grease traps and interceptors.
Structure problems caused by tree roots in the lines,
broken/cracked pipes, missing or broken cleanout caps
or undersized sewers can cause blockages.
Infiltration and inflow (I/I) impacts pipe capacity and
is caused when groundwater or rainwater enters the
sewer system through pipe defects and illegal
connections.
Time is of the essence in dealing with sewage spills. You
are required to immediately:
Control and minimize the spill. Keep spills contained
on private property and out of gutters, storm drains and
public waterways by shutting off or not using the water.
Use sandbags, dirt and/or plastic sheeting to
prevent sewage from entering the storm drain system.
Clear the sewer blockage. Always wear gloves and
wash your hands. It is recommended that a plumbing
professional be called for clearing blockages and making
necessary repairs.
Always notify your city sewer/public works
department or public sewer district of sewage
spills. If the spill enters the storm drains also notify the
Health Care Agency. In addition, if it exceeds 1,000
gallons notify the Office of Emergency Services. Refer to
the numbers listed in this brochure.
Caution
Allowing sewage from your home, business or property
to discharge to a gutter or storm drain may subject you to
penalties and/or out-of-pocket costs to reimburse cities
or public agencies for clean-up and enforcement efforts.
See Regulatory Codes & Fines section for pertinent codes
and fines that apply.
What to Look For
You Could Be Liable
Sewage spills can be a very noticeable gushing of water
from a manhole or a slow water leak that may take time to
be noticed. Don’t dismiss unaccounted-for wet areas.
Look for:
!Drain backups inside the building.
!Wet ground and water leaking around manhole lids
onto your street.
!Leaking water from cleanouts or outside drains.
!Unusual odorous wet areas: sidewalks, external
walls or ground/landscape around a building.

Common Causes
of Sewage Spills
Overflowing
cleanout pipe
located on
private property
Keep people and pets away from the affected area.
Untreated sewage has high levels of disease-causing
viruses and bacteria. Call your local health care agency
listed on the back for more information.
DTP113
Sewage spills occur when the wastewater being
transported via underground pipes overflows through
a manhole, cleanout or broken pipe. Sewage spills can
cause health hazards, damage to homes and businesses,
and threaten the environment, local waterways and
beaches.

How a Sewer
System Works
Orange County
Agency Responsibilites
You Could Be Liable
for Not Protecting
the Environment
Local and state agencies have legal jurisdic-
tion and enforcement authority to ensure that
sewage spills are remedied.
They may respond and assist with contain-
ment, relieving pipe blockages, and/or
clean-up of the sewage spill, especially if
the spill is flowing into storm drains or onto
public property.
A property owner may be charged for
costs incurred by these agencies
responding to spills from private
properties .
How You Can
Prevent Sewage Spills
A property owner's sewer pipes are called
service laterals and are connected to larger
local main and regional trunk lines. Service
laterals run from the connection at the
home to the connection with the public
sewer (including the area under the street).
These laterals are the responsibility of the
property owner and must be maintained
by the property owner. Many city agencies
have adopted ordinances requiring
maintenance of service laterals. Check with
your city sewer/local public works
department for more information.
Operation and maintenance of local and
regional sewer lines are the responsi-
bility of the city sewer/public works depart-
ments and public sewer districts.
Preventing
Grease Blockages
The drain is not a dump! Recycle or dispose of grease
properly and never pour grease down the drain.
Homeowners should mix fats, oils and grease with absor-
bent waste materials such as paper, coffee grounds, or kitty
litter and place it in the trash. Wipe food scraps from plates
and pans and dump them in the trash.
Restaurants and commercial food service establishments
should always use “Kitchen Best Management Practices.”
These include:
!Collecting all cooking grease and liquid oil from pots, pans
and fryers in covered grease containers for recycling.
!Scraping or dry-wiping excess food and grease from
dishes, pots, pans and fryers into the trash.
!Installing drain screens on all kitchen drains.
!Having spill kits readily available for cleaning up spills.
!Properly maintaining grease traps or interceptors by having
them serviced regularly. Check your local city codes.
!City Sewer/Public Works Departments—
Responsible for protecting city property
and streets, the local storm drain system, sewage
collection system and other public areas.
!Public Sewer/Sanitation District—
Responsible for collecting, treating and disposing
of wastewater.
!County of Orange Health Care Agency—
Responsible for protecting public health by closing
ocean/bay waters and may close food-service
businesses if a spill poses a threat to public health.
!Regional Water Quality Control Boards—
Responsible for protecting State waters.
!Orange County Stormwater Program—
Responsible for preventing harmful pollutants from
being discharged or washed by stormwater runoff
into the municipal storm drain system, creeks, bays
and the ocean.

Clean beaches
and healthy
creeks, rivers, bays
and ocean are important to
Orange County. However, many
common activities can lead to
water pollution if you’re not
careful. Home improvement
projects and work sites must
be maintained to ensure that
building materials do not enter
the street, gutter or storm drain.
Unlike water in sanitary sewers
(from sinks and toilets), water
in storm drains is not treated
before entering our waterways.
You would never dump building
materials into the ocean, so
don’t let them enter the storm
drains. Follow these tips to help
prevent water pollution.

Tips for Pool Maintenance
When permanently removing large quantities of
soil, a disposal location must be found prior to
excavation. Numerous businesses are available to
handle disposal needs. For disposal options, visit
www.ciwmb.ca.gov/SWIS.
Prevent erosion by planting fast-growing annual and
perennial grasses. They will shield and bind the soil.
Recycle
Use a construction and demolition recycling company to recycle lumber, paper, cardboard, metals, masonry (bricks, concrete, etc.), carpet, plastic, pipes (plastic, metal and clay), drywall, rocks, dirt and green waste.
For a listing of construction and demolition recycling locations in your area, visit www.ciwmb.ca.gov/recycle.
Spills
Clean up spills immediately by using an absorbent material such as cat litter, then sweep it up and dispose of it in the trash.
Immediately report spills that have entered the street, gutter or storm drain to the County’s 24-Hour Water Pollution Problem Reporting Hotline at (714) 567-6363 or visit www.ocwatersheds.com to fill out an incident reporting form.
Home improvement projects can cause significant
damage to the environment. Whether you hire
a contractor or work on the house yourself, it
is important to follow these simple tips while
renovating, remodeling or improving your home:
General Construction
Schedule projects for dry
weather.
Keep all construction debris
away from the street, gutter
and storm drain.
Store materials under cover
with temporary roofs or plastic
sheets to eliminate or reduce
the possibility that rainfall,
runoff or wind will carry
materials from the project site
to the street, storm drain or
adjacent properties.
Building Materials
Never hose materials into a street, gutter or storm
drain.
Exposed piles of construction material should not be
stored on the street or sidewalk.
Minimize waste by ordering only the amount of
materials needed to complete the job.
Do not mix more fresh concrete than is needed for
each project.
Wash concrete mixers and equipment in a
designated washout area where the water can flow
into a containment area or onto dirt.
Dispose of small amounts of dry excess materials in
the trash. Powdery waste, such as dry concrete, must
be properly contained within a box or bag prior to
disposal. Call your local trash hauler for weight and
size limits.
Paint
Measure the room or object to be painted, then buy
only the amount needed.
Place the lid on firmly and store the paint can upside-
down in a dry location away from the elements.
Tools such as brushes, buckets and rags should never
be washed where excess water can drain into the
street, gutter or storm drain. All tools should be
rinsed in a sink connected to the sanitary sewer.
When disposing of paint, never put wet paint in the
trash.
Dispose of water-based paint by removing the lid
and letting it dry
in the can. Large
amounts must be
taken to a Household
Hazardous Waste
Collection Center
(HHWCC).
Oil-based paint is a
household hazardous
waste. All leftover
paint should be taken
to a HHWCC.
For HHWCC locations and hours, call (714) 834-6752
or visit www.oclandfills.com.
Erosion Control
Schedule grading and excavation projects for dry weather.
When temporarily removing soil, pile it in a contained, covered area where it cannot spill into the street, or obtain the required temporary encroachment or street closure permit and follow the conditions instructed by the permit.

C lean beaches
and healthy
creeks, rivers, bays
and ocean are important to
Orange County. However,
many common activities
can lead to water pollution
if you’re not careful.
Fertilizers, pesticides and
other chemicals that are left
on yards or driveways can
be blown or washed into
storm drains that flow to the
ocean. Overwatering lawns
can also send materials into
storm drains. Unlike water
in sanitary sewers (from sinks
and toilets), water in storm
drains is not treated before
entering our waterways.
You would never pour
gardening products into the
ocean, so don’t let them enter
the storm drains. Follow
these easy tips to help prevent
water pollution.

Tips for Landscape and GardeningTips for Landscape & Gardening
Never allow gardening products or
polluted water to enter the street, gutter
or storm drain.
General Landscaping Tips
Protect stockpiles and materials from
wind and rain by storing them under
tarps or secured plastic sheeting.
Prevent erosion of slopes by planting
fast-growing, dense ground covering
plants. These will shield and bind the
soil.
Plant native vegetation
to reduce the amount
of water, fertilizers, and
pesticide applied to the
landscape.
Never apply pesticides
or fertilizers when rain is
predicted within the next 48 hours.
Garden & Lawn Maintenance
Do not overwater. Use irrigation
practices such as drip irrigation,
soaker hoses or micro spray systems.
Periodically inspect and fix leaks and
misdirected sprinklers.
Do not rake or blow
leaves, clippings or
pruning waste into
the street, gutter
or storm drain.
Instead, dispose
of green waste by
composting, hauling
it to a permitted
landfill, or recycling it through your
city’s program.
Use slow-release fertilizers to
minimize leaching, and use organic
fertilizers.
Read labels and use only as directed.
Do not over-apply pesticides or
fertilizers. Apply to spots as needed,
rather than blanketing an entire
area.
Store pesticides, fertilizers and other
chemicals in a dry covered area to
prevent exposure that may result
in the deterioration
of containers and
packaging.
Rinse empty
pesticide containers
and re-use rinse water
as you would use the
product. Do not dump rinse water
down storm drains. Dispose of empty
containers in the trash.
When available, use non-toxic
alternatives to traditional pesticides,
and use pesticides specifically
designed to control the pest you are
targeting. For more information, visit
www.ipm.ucdavis.edu.
If fertilizer is spilled, sweep up the
spill before irrigating. If the spill is
liquid, apply an absorbent material
such as cat litter, and then sweep it up
and dispose of it in the trash.
Take unwanted pesticides to a
Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Center to be recycled.

Never let any pet care products or
washwater run off your yard and into
the street, gutter or storm drain.
Washing Your Pets
Even biodegradable soaps and
shampoos can be harmful to marine
life and the environment.
If possible, bathe your pets indoors
using less-toxic shampoos or have
your pet professionally groomed.
Follow instructions on the products
and clean up spills.
If you bathe your pet outside, wash it
on your lawn or another absorbent/
permeable surface to keep the
washwater from running into the
street, gutter or storm drain.
Flea Control
Consider using oral or topical flea
control products.
If you use flea control products
such as shampoos, sprays or collars,
make sure to dispose of any unused
products at
a Household
Hazardous
Waste
Collection
Center. For

Why You Should Pick Up After
Your Pet
It’s the law!
Every city has
an ordinance
requiring you
to pick up
after your pet.
Besides being
a nuisance, pet
waste can lead to water pollution, even
if you live inland. During rainfall, pet
waste left outdoors can wash into storm
drains. This waste flows directly into our
waterways and the ocean where it can
harm human health, marine life and
the environment.
As it decomposes, pet waste demands
a high level of oxygen from water.
This decomposition can contribute to
killing marine
life by reducing
the amount of
dissolved oxygen
available to
them.
Have fun with
your pets, but
please be a
responsible pet
owner by taking
care of them and the environment.
Take a bag with you on walks to pick
up after your pet.
Dispose of the waste in the trash or in
a toilet.

Report of Infiltration Testing, Proposed
Office Building, 2122 and 2132 Orchard
Drive, Newport Beach, California
1. Geotechnical Engineering Investigation of Proposed Office Building at 2122 and 2132 Orchard
Drive, Newport Beach, California: by COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC., W.O. 598620-01, dated
July 27, 2020.
Dear Mr. Guldjian:
Submitted herewith is an infiltration feasibility study performed for the proposed development,
located at 2122 and 2132 Orchard Drive in the City of Newport Beach. This report completes our
work scope for infiltration testing as authorized by the client.
PURPOSE
Urbanization impacts the water resources by decreasing the amount of storm water that infiltrates
into the subsurface soils, and by increasing the potential for conveyance of pollutants into
watersheds and flood control system. Low impact development storm water infiltration is a
strategy that is used to mitigate some of these hydrological impacts. Our study is to provide
design engineers with infiltration values to be utilized in selection and sizing of appropriate
infiltration systems.
WORK SCOPE
The project work scope consisted of the following:
1. Excavate one boring, six inches in diameter, to a depth of five feet.
2. Geotechnical logging of boring.
3. Pre-saturation and infiltration testing of shallow boring.
4. Analysis of data.
5. Preparation of this report in conjunction with guidelines issued by the County of Orange.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject site is bound by Orchard Drive to the north, Birch Street to the west, and similar
developed lots to the south and east, in the City of Newport Beach.
The property is nearly rectangular, relatively level, and occupied by two existing residential
structures and a detached garage. These structures will be demolished and removed from the site.

Infiltration Investigation
SITE LITHOLOGY
2 w. 0. 598620-02
December 10 2020
Earth materials encountered within the infiltration boring (Boring No. 4) were visually logged by a
representative from COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc. The materials were classified as minor
artificial fill over native soils. Similar conditions were encountered during the Geotechnical
Engineering Investigation. The locations of the previous borings are shown on Plate 1 and the
Boring Logs are attached in Appendix B.
Artificial fills encountered consisted of brown, dark brown and tan brown sandy, slightly clayey silt,
and silty sand, gravelly to rocky with concrete and asphalt fragments, dry to moist and stiff to
medium dense.
The underlying native earth material consisted of brown to orange brown sand, silty sand, and
clayey sand to the maximum depth explored.
GROUNDWATER
Based on a groundwater map from the Seismic Hazard Evaluation Open File Report for the
Newport Beach Quadrangle historic high groundwater is shown as between 10 and 30 feet below
ground surface.
Site exploration found no groundwater to the maximum drilled depth of twelve feet.
The bottom of any proposed infiltration system shall be at least five feet above this level.
INFILTRATION TESTING
Infiltration testing was performed in general accordance with County of Orange Technical
Guideline Document for Preparation of WQMP, utilizing the percolation test method. The location
of the infiltration test boring is shown on the appended Plate 1.
The boring was six inches in diameter. At the bottom of the boring at least two inches of gravel was
placed to minimize bottom scouring. The boring was then sleeved with four inch diameter pipe
with the bottom two feet of pipe slotted. The annulus of the boring was backfilled with on site soils
back to near existing grade. The pipe opening was secured with a cap.
Testing of the boring was conducted on December 3 and 4, 2020 and consisted of the required
overnight presoak and testing the following day.
The presoak did not show a consecutive water drop of more than six inches over a period of 25
minutes or less. The hole was presoaked for over 4 hours and the testing was performed the
following day.

Infiltration Investigation
3 w. 0. 598620-02
December 10, 2020
During the test period the boring was filled with water to a set level and the drop measured over a
time interval of 30 minutes. The boring was then refilled to a similar starting height and the drop
measured again over a period of 30 minutes. This was repeated for twelve readings and completed
on December 4, 2020.
INFILTRATION RATE
The percolation rate obtained from field testing on December 4, 2020, was converted to an
infiltration rate utilizing the Porchet method. Calculations are presented on Plate X.
An infiltration rate of 0.62 in/hr for the infiltration boring (Boring 4) was determined. The rate is
opinioned appropriate for the earth materials tested.
As a conservative measure the infiltration rate obtained may need to be reduced with the
appropriate factors of safety dictated by local jurisdiction for the BMP implemented.
OPINION
It is our opinion that this report presents an accurate and complete disclosure of all facts that are
known and relate to site infiltration rates.
Our opinion is that the infiltration of waters at the depth and location tested will not have adverse
effects on site improvements from expansive soils or settlement; will not increase pore water
pressures affecting liquefaction potential of the site, and will not affect off site property.
The client is advised that an infiltration system does require long term maintenance and that
infiltration rates will decrease over time as the system clogs with various materials, affecting its
performance.
Life expectancy of a system varies widely dependent on usage, construction and maintenance.
· Coast Geotechnical, Inc. makes no warranty or guarantee of the system or length of effectiveness.
COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc. shall be consulted during system construction to verify that earth
material conditions are similar to those tested.
We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you.
