Several steps must be followed in order to determine what performance criteria will apply to a project. These steps include: • If the project has an approved WIHMP or equivalent, then any watershed specific criteria must be used and the project can evaluate participation in the approved regional or sub- regional opportunities. The local Permittee planning or NPDES staff should be consulted regarding the existence of an approved WIHMP or equivalent. • Determine applicable hydromodification control performance criteria. Refer to Section 7.II- 2.4.2.2 of the Model WQMP. • Determine applicable LID performance criteria. Refer to Section 7.II-2.4.3 of the Model WQMP. • Determine applicable treatment control BMP performance criteria. Refer to Section 7.II-3.2.2 of the Model WQMP. • Calculate the LID design storm capture volume for the project. Refer to Section 7.II-2.4.3 of the Model WQMP. (NOC Permit Area only) Is there an approved WIHMP or equivalent for the project area that includes more stringent LID feasibility criteria or if there are opportunities identified for implementing LID on regional or sub-regional basis? YES NO If yes, describe WIHMP feasibility criteria or regional/sub-regional LID opportunities. A Model WIHMP for Newport Bay-Newport Coast has not been approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board at this time.

SITE DESIGN AND DRAINAGE PLAN Describe site design and drainage plan including • A narrative of site design practices utilized or rationale for not using practices; • A narrative of how site is designed to allow BMPs to be incorporated to the MEP • A table of DMA characteristics and list of LID BMPs proposed in each DMA. • Reference to the WQMP plot plan. • Calculation of Design Capture Volume (DCV) for each drainage area. • A listing of GIS coordinates for LID and Treatment Control BMPs (unless not required by local jurisdiction). Refer to Section 2.4.2 in the TGD. Minimizing a development’s effects on water quality and the environment can be most effectively achieved by using a combination of BMPs which include Low Impact Development (LID) Site Design, Source Control and Treatment Control measures. These design and control measures employ a multi-level strategy. The strategy consists of: 1) reducing or eliminating post-project runoff; 2) controlling sources of pollutants; and 3) treating storm water runoff before discharging it to the storm drain system or to receiving waters. The most effective means of avoiding or reducing water quality and hydrologic impacts is through incorporation of measures into the project design. These measures should be taken into consideration early in the planning of a project as they can affect the overall design of a project. LID BMPs are intended to collectively minimize directly connected impervious areas, limit loss of existing infiltration capacity, and protect areas that provide important water quality benefits necessary to maintain riparian and aquatic biota, and/or are particularly susceptible to erosion and sediment loss, as feasible. The design of the proposed project has incorporated site design concepts as described below. Draught tolerant plants will be employed in conformance with the city’s development code and water conservation ordinances. The site will also disconnect impervious surfaces. The rooftops will drain to swales prior to out letting to street.

Refer to Section 3.1 of the Model WQMP for description of credits and Appendix VI of the TGD for calculation methods for applying 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.

Runoff is stored in the void space between stones and infiltrates through the bottom and sides of the trench. Infiltration trenches provide the majority of their pollutant removal benefits through volume reduction. Pretreatment is important for limiting amounts of coarse sediment entering the trench which can clog and render the trench ineffective. Note: if an infiltration trench is “deeper than its widest surface dimension,” or includes an assemblage of perforated pipes, drain tiles, or other similar mechanisms intended to distribute runoff below the surface of the ground, it would probably be considered a "Class V Injection Well" under the federal Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program, which is regulated in California by U.S. EPA Region 9. A UIC permit may be required for such a facility (for details see http://www.epa.gov/region9/water/groundwater/uic-classv.html). Feasibility Screening Considerations  Infiltration trenches shall pass infeasibility screening criteria to be considered for use  Infiltration trenches, particularly deeper designs, may not provide significant attenuation of stormwater pollutants if underlying soils have high permeability; potential risk of groundwater contamination.  The potential for groundwater mounding should be evaluated if depth to seasonally high groundwater (unmounded) is less than 15 feet. Opportunity Criteria  Soils are adequate for infiltration or can be amended to provide an adequate infiltration rate.  Drainage area area is ≤ 5 acres and has low to moderate sediment production.  2-3 percent of drainage area available for infiltration (generally requires less surface area than infiltration basins and bioretention areas without underdrain).  Space available for pretreatment (biotreatment or treatment control BMP as described below).  Potential for groundwater contamination can be mitigated through isolation of pollutant sources, pretreatment of inflow, and/or demonstration of adequate treatment capacity of underlying soils.  Infiltration is into native soil, or depth of engineered fill is ≤ 5 feet from the bottom of the facility to native material and infiltration into shallow fill is approved by a geotechnical professional.  Tributary area land uses include open areas adjacent to parking lots, driveways, and buildings, and roadway medians and shoulders. OC-Specific Design Criteria and Considerations □ Must comply with local, state, and federal UIC regulations if applicable; a permit may be required. Also known as: French Drains Rock Trenches Exfiltration Trenches Soak-aways Soakage Trenches Infiltration Trench Source: www.dot.ca.gov PA2022-0222 TECHNICAL GUIDANCE DOCUMENT APPENDICES XIV-25 December 20, 2013 □ Placement of BMPs should observe geotechnical recommendations with respect to geological hazards (e.g. landslides, liquefaction zones, erosion, etc.) and set-backs (e.g., foundations, utilities, roadways, etc.) □ For facilities with tributary area less than 1 acre and less than 3 foot depth, minimum separation to mounded seasonally high groundwater of 5 feet shall be observed. □ For facilities with tributary area greater than 1 acre or deeper than 3 feet, minimum separation to mounded seasonally high groundwater of 10 feet shall be observed. □ Minimum pretreatment should be provided upstream of the infiltration trench, and water bypassing pretreatment should not be directed to the infiltration trench. □ Infiltration trenches should not be used for drainage areas with high sediment production potential unless preceded by full treatment control with a BMP effective for sediment removal. □ Ponded water should not persist within 1 foot of the surface of the facility for longer than 72 hours following the end of a storm event (observation well is needed to allow observation of drain time). □ Energy dissipators should be provided at inlet and outlet to prevent erosion. □ An overflow device must be provided if basin is on-line. □ A minimum freeboard of one foot should be provided above the overflow device (for an on-line basin) or the outlet (for an off-line basin). □ Longitudinal trench slope should not exceed 3%. □ Side slopes above trench fill should not be steeper than 3:1. Simple Sizing Method for Infiltration Trenches If the Simple Design Capture Volume Sizing Method is used to size an infiltration trench, the user calculates the DCV and then designs the geometry required to draw down the DCV in 48 hours. The sizing steps are as follows: Step 1: Determine Infiltration Basin DCV Calculate the DCV using the Simple Design Capture Volume Sizing Method described in Appendix III.3.1. Step 2: Determine the 48-hour Effective Depth The depth of water that can be drawn down in 48 hours can be calculated using the following equation: d48 = KDESIGN × SACF × 48 hours Where: d48 = trench effective 48-hour depth, ft KDESIGN = basin design infiltration rate, in/hr (See Appendix VII) SACF = Surface Area Correction Factor = ranges from 1.0 (sides insignificant or not accounted) to 2.0 (sides plus bottom are 2 times the surface area of the bottom at mid depth) to account for the ratio of infiltration through the sides of the trench to the bottom footprint of the trench; should be based on anticipated trench geometry and wetted surface area at mid-depth. This is the maximum effective depth of the trench below the overflow device to achieve drawdown in 48 hours. PA2022-0222 TECHNICAL GUIDANCE DOCUMENT APPENDICES XIV-26 December 20, 2013 Step 3: Determine the Trench Ponding Depth and Trench Depth The depth of water stored in the ponding depth (i.e. above the trench fill) and within the trench itself should be equal or less than d48. Determine the ponding depth and the trench fill depth such that: d48 ≥ (nT × dT + dP) Where: d48 = trench effective 48-hour depth, ft (from Step 2) nT = porosity of trench fill; 0.35 may be assumed where other information is not available dT = depth of trench fill, ft dP = ponding depth, ft (should not exceed 1 ft) Step 4: Calculate the Required Infiltrating Area The required footprint area can be calculated using the following equation: A = DCV/ ((nT × dT) + dP) Where: A = required trench footprint area, sq-ft DCV = design capture volume, cu-ft (see Step 1) nT = porosity of trench fill; 0.35 may be assumed where other information is not available dT = depth of trench fill, ft dP = ponding depth, ft Capture Efficiency Method for Infiltration Trenches If BMP geometry has already been defined and deviates from the 48 hour drawdown time, the designer can use the Capture Efficiency Method for Volume-Based, Constant Drawdown BMPs (Appendix III.3.2) to determine the fraction of the DCV that must be provided to manage 80 percent of average annual runoff volume. This method accounts for drawdown time different than 48 hours. Step 1: Determine the drawdown time associated with the selected trench geometry DD = ((nT × dT) + dP) / (KDESIGN × SACF) × 12 Where: DD = time to completely drain infiltration basin ponding depth, hours nT = porosity of trench fill; 0.35 may be assumed where other information is not available dT = depth of trench fill, ft dP = ponding depth, ft SACF = Surface Area Correction Factor = ranges from 1.0 (sides insignificant or not accounted) to 2.0 (sides plus bottom are 2 times the surface area of the bottom at mid depth) to account for the ratio of infiltration through the sides of the trench to the bottom footprint of the trench; should be based on anticipated trench geometry and wetted surface area at mid-depth. KDESIGN = basin design infiltration rate, in/hr (See Appendix VII) Step 2: Determine the Required Adjusted DCV for this Drawdown Time Use the Capture Efficiency Method for Volume-Based, Constant Drawdown BMPs (Appendix III.3.2) to calculate the required fraction of the DCV the basin must hold to achieve 80 percent capture of average annual stormwater runoff volume based on the trench drawdown time calculated above. PA2022-0222 TECHNICAL GUIDANCE DOCUMENT APPENDICES XIV-27 December 20, 2013 Step 3: Determine the Trench Infiltrating Area Needed The required footprint area can be calculated using the following equation: A = DCV / ( (nT × dT) + dP) Where: A = required trench footprint area, sq-ft DCV = design capture volume, cu-ft (see Step 1) nT = porosity of trench fill; 0.35 may be assumed where other information is not available dT = depth of trench fill, ft dP = ponding depth, ft If the area required is greater than the selected trench area, adjust surface area or adjust ponding and/or trench depth and recalculate required area until the required area is achieved. Configuration for Use in a Treatment Train  Infiltration trenches may be preceeded in a treatment train by HSCs in the drainage area, which would reduce the required volume of the trench.  Infiltration trenches must be preceeded by some form of pretreatment which may be biotreatment or a treatment control BMP; if an approved biotreatment BMP is used as pretreatment, the overflow from the infiltration trench may be considered “biotreated” for the purposes of meeting the LID requirments  The overflow or bypass from an infiltration trench can be routed to a downstream biotreatment BMP and/or a treatment control BMP if additional control is required to achieve LID or treatment control requirements Additional References for Design Guidance  CASQA BMP Handbook for New and Redevelopment: http://www.cabmphandbooks.com/Documents/Development/TC-10.pdf  SMC LID Manual (pp 141): http://www.lowimpactdevelopment.org/guest75/pub/All_Projects/SoCal_LID_Manual/SoCalL ID_Manual_FINAL_040910.pdf  Los Angeles County Stormwater BMP Design and Maintenance Manual, Chapter 6: http://dpw.lacounty.gov/DES/design_manuals/StormwaterBMPDesignandrainage areaintenance.pdf  City of Portland Stormwater Management Manual (Soakage Trenches, page 2-82) http://www.portlandonline.com/bes/index.cfm?c=47954&a=202883  San Diego County LID Handbook Appendix 4 (Factsheet 1): http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/dplu/docs/LID-Appendices.pdf PA2022-0222 Chapter 14.17 WATER-EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING Sections: 14.17.005 Purpose. 14.17.010 Definitions. 14.17.020 Applicability. 14.17.030 Landscape Water Use Standards. 14.17.040 Implementation Procedures. * Prior history: Ords. 92-54, 92-55 and 96-22. 14.17.005 Purpose.

LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE MINIMUM BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping • Properly store and dispose of gardening wastes. • Use mulch or other erosion control measures on exposed soils. • Properly manage irrigation and runoff. • Properly store and dispose of chemicals. • Properly manage pesticide and herbicide use. • Properly manage fertilizer use. Stencil storm drains Training • Train employees on these BMPs, storm water discharge prohibitions, and wastewater discharge requirements. • Provide on-going employee training in pollution prevention. Best Management Practices (BMPs) A BMP is a technique, measure or structural control that is used for a given set of conditions to improve the quality of the stormwater runoff in a cost effective manner1. The minimum required BMPs for this activity are outlined in the box to the right. Implementation of pollution prevention/good housekeeping measures may reduce or eliminate the need to implement other more costly or complicated procedures. Proper employee training is key to the success of BMP implementation. The BMPs outlined in this fact sheet target the following pollutants: Targeted Constituents Sediment x Nutrients x Floatable Materials x Metals Bacteria x Oil & Grease Organics & Toxicants Pesticides x Oxygen Demanding x Provided below are specific procedures associated with each of the minimum BMPs along with procedures for additional BMPs that should be considered if this activity takes place at a facility located near a sensitive waterbody. In order to meet the requirements for medium and high priority facilities, the owners/operators must select, install and maintain appropriate BMPs on site. Since the selection of the appropriate BMPs is a site- specific process, the types and numbers of additional BMPs will vary for each facility. 1. Take steps to reduce landscape maintenance requirements. • Where feasible, retain and/or plant native vegetation with features that are determined to be beneficial. Native vegetation usually requires less maintenance than planting new vegetation. • When planting or replanting consider using low water use flowers, trees, shrubs, and groundcovers. • Consider alternative landscaping techniques such as naturescaping and xeriscaping. 2. Properly store and dispose of gardening wastes. • Dispose of grass clippings, leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation as garbage at a permitted landfill or by composting. • Do not dispose of gardening wastes in streets, waterways, or storm drainage systems. • Place temporarily stockpiled material away from watercourses and storm drain inlets, and berm and/or cover. 3. Use mulch or other erosion control measures on exposed soils. 1 EPA " Preliminary Data Summary of Urban Stormwater Best Management Practices” IC7 Landscape Maintenance 1 PA2022-0222 4. Properly manage irrigation and runoff. • Irrigate slowly or pulse irrigate so the infiltration rate of the soil is not exceeded. • Inspect irrigation system regularly for leaks and to ensure that excessive runoff is not occurring. • If re-claimed water is used for irrigation, ensure that there is no runoff from the landscaped area(s). • If bailing of muddy water is required (e.g. when repairing a water line leak), do not put it in the storm drain; pour over landscaped areas. • Use automatic timers to minimize runoff. • Use popup sprinkler heads in areas with a lot of activity or where pipes may be broken. Consider the use of mechanisms that reduce water flow to broken sprinkler heads. 5. Properly store and dispose of chemicals. • Implement storage requirements for pesticide products with guidance from the local fire department and/or County Agricultural Commissioner. • Provide secondary containment for chemical storage. • Dispose of empty containers according to the instructions on the container label. • Triple rinse containers and use rinse water as product. 6. Properly manage pesticide and herbicide use. • Follow all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, and disposal of pesticides and herbicides and training of applicators and pest control advisors. • Follow manufacturers’ recommendations and label directions. • Use pesticides only if there is an actual pest problem (not on a regular preventative schedule). When applicable use less toxic pesticides that will do the job. Avoid use of copper-based pesticides if possible. Use the minimum amount of chemicals needed for the job. • Do not apply pesticides if rain is expected or if wind speeds are above 5 mph. • Do not mix or prepare pesticides for application near storm drains. Prepare the minimum amount of pesticide needed for the job and use the lowest rate that will effectively control the targeted pest. • Whenever possible, use mechanical methods of vegetation removal rather than applying herbicides. Use hand weeding where practical. • Do not apply any chemicals directly to surface waters, unless the application is approved and permitted by the state. Do not spray pesticides within 100 feet of open waters. • Employ techniques to minimize off-target application (e.g. spray drift) of pesticides, including consideration of alternative application techniques. • When conducting mechanical or manual weed control, avoid loosening the soil, which could lead to erosion. • Purchase only the amount of pesticide that you can reasonably use in a given time period. • Careful soil mixing and layering techniques using a topsoil mix or composted organic material can be used as an effective measure to reduce herbicide use and watering. 7. Properly manage fertilizer use. • Follow all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, and disposal of fertilizers. • Follow manufacturers’ recommendations and label directions. • Employ techniques to minimize off-target application (e.g. spray drift) of fertilizer, including consideration of alternative application techniques. Calibrate fertilizer distributors to avoid excessive application. • Periodically test soils for determining proper fertilizer use. • Fertilizers should be worked into the soil rather than dumped or broadcast onto the surface. • Sweep pavement and sidewalk if fertilizer is spilled on these surfaces before applying irrigation water. • Use slow release fertilizers whenever possible to minimize leaching IC7 Landscape Maintenance 2 PA2022-0222 8. Incorporate the following integrated pest management techniques where appropriate: • Mulching can be used to prevent weeds where turf is absent. • Remove insects by hand and place in soapy water or vegetable oil. Alternatively, remove insects with water or vacuum them off the plants. • Use species-specific traps (e.g. pheromone-based traps or colored sticky cards). • Sprinkle the ground surface with abrasive diatomaceous earth to prevent infestations by soft-bodied insects and slugs. Slugs also can be trapped in small cups filled with beer that are set in the ground so the slugs can get in easily. • In cases where microscopic parasites, such as bacteria and fungi, are causing damage to plants, the affected plant material can be removed and disposed of (pruning equipment should be disinfected with bleach to prevent spreading the disease organism). • Small mammals and birds can be excluded using fences, netting, and tree trunk guards. • Promote beneficial organisms, such as bats, birds, green lacewings, ladybugs, praying mantis, ground beetles, parasitic nematodes, trichogramma wasps, seedhead weevils, and spiders that prey on detrimental pest species. Training 1. Train employees on these BMPs, storm water discharge prohibitions, and wastewater discharge requirements. 2. Educate and train employees on the use of pesticides and pesticide application techniques. Only employees properly trained to use pesticides can apply them. 3. Train and encourage employees to use integrated pest management techniques. 4. Train employees on proper spill containment and cleanup. • Establish training that provides employees with the proper tools and knowledge to immediately begin cleaning up a spill. • Ensure that employees are familiar with the site’s spill control plan and/or proper spill cleanup procedures. • Fact sheet IC17 discusses Spill Prevention and Control in detail. 5. Establish a regular training schedule, train all new employees, and conduct annual refresher training. 6. Use a training log or similar method to document training.

Automotive fluids, such as oils, greases, and solvents, are hydrocarbon based, and may contain metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and other toxic compounds. Removal of caked dirt and grime from an automobile increases the sediment load to the storm drain system. The pollution prevention activities outlined in this fact sheets are used to prevent the discharge of pollutants to the storm drain system. The activities outlined in this fact sheet target the following pollutants: Sediment x Nutrients Bacteria Foaming Agents Metals x Hydrocarbons x Hazardous Materials x Pesticides and Herbicides Other Think before conducting automobile repair and maintenance activities. Remember - The ocean starts at your front door. Required Activities • Recycle used oil and antifreeze by taking them to service stations and other recycling centers. Never pour oil in storm drains or other areas. • Do not perform repair and maintenance activities during rain events. • Immediately clean up and contain any spills. Dispose of all waste and adsorbent materials properly. • Store hazardous materials and wastes (including, but not limited to, fluids, solvents, parts containing fluids, batteries) indoors, under cover, or in watertight containers. • Perform automobile maintenance and repairs over impervious surfaces such as concrete, so spills and waste material should be readily cleaned up. Use drip pans, plastic sheeting, etc. to contain spills and waste material. • Dispose of cleaning solvents at the designated hazardous waste center. Recommended Activities • Conduct auto repair activities at a commercial repair facility • Perform automobile repair and maintenance activities under a covered area. • Do not buy fluids containing target pollutants (e.g. degreasers containing PERC). • Monitor parked or stored vehicles and equipment for leaks and place pans under leaks to collect fluids for proper disposal or recycling.

Plant and garden care activities such as landscape maintenance, fertilization, and pesticide application have the potential to discharge significant quantities of pollutants to the storm drain system. Nonvegetated surfaces may allow for significant erosion leading to high sediment loads. Other pollutants such as pesticides may adsorb onto the soil particles and be transported off site. Excess fertilizer and pesticide pollutants from over application may be carried to the storm drain by dissolving in irrigation runoff or rainwater. Green wastes may also contain organic matter and may have adsorbed fertilizers and pesticides. The activities outlined in this fact sheet target the following pollutants: Sediment x Nutrients x Bacteria x Foaming Agents Metals Hydrocarbons Hazardous Materials Pesticides and Herbicides x Other x Excessive irrigation is often the most significant factor in home and garden care activities. Pollutants may dissolve in irrigation water and then be transported to the storm drain, or particles and materials coated with fertilizers and pesticides may be suspended in the irrigation flow and carried to the storm drain. The pollution prevention activities outlined in this fact sheets are used to prevent the discharge of pollutants to the storm drain system. Think before conducting garden care activities. Remember - The ocean starts at your front door. Required Activities • Irrigation systems must be properly adjusted to reflect seasonal water needs. • Minimize the use of pesticides and fertilizers. Read the labels and follow directions to avoid improper use. Do not apply chemicals if it is windy or about to rain. • Properly clean up and dispose of spills of gardening chemicals, fertilizes, or soils. If possible, return the spilled material to the container for future use. • Lawn and garden care products must be stored in closed labeled containers, in covered areas, or off-ground and under protective tarps. • Household hazardous waste must be properly disposed at a household hazardous waste center. • Cover nonvegetated surfaces to prevent erosion. Recommended Activities • Utilize xeroscaping and use of drought and insect resistant landscaping. • Cultivate garden often to control weeds • Use integrated pest management (IPM). Planting pest repelling plants (e.g. Marigolds) or using pest eating insects (e.g. ladybugs) may reduce the need for pesticides. • Do not leave food (human or pet) outside overnight • Remove fruit and garden waste For additional information contact: County of Orange, OC Watershed Main: (714) 955-0600/ 24hr Water Pollution Discharge Hotline 1-877-89-SPILL or visit our website at: www.ocwatersheds.com PA2022-0222 R-5 DISPOSAL OF PET WASTES Pet wastes left in the environment may introduce solids, bacteria, and nutrients to the storm drain. The type and quantity of waste will dictate the proper disposal method. Small quantities of waste are best disposed with regular trash or flushed down a toilet. Large quantities of wastes from herbivore animals may be composted for subsequent use or disposal to landfill. The activities outlined in this fact sheet target the following pollutants: Sediment x Nutrients x Bacteria x Foaming Agents Metals Hydrocarbons Hazardous Materials Pesticides and Herbicides Other Pick up after your pet! It’s as easy as 1-2-3. 1) Bring a bag. 2) Clean it up. 3) Dispose of it properly (toilet or trash).
