Guests:
Monica Mazur
City or County Staff:
Dave Kiff, Assistant City Manager

2. Approval of Previous Meeting's Minutes
The minutes from the June 11, 2009, meeting were approved.
3. Old Business
(a) Bay and Ocean Bacteriological Test Results
Ms. Mazur and Mr. Kappeler reviewed the latest bacti reports.
4. New Business
(a) Water Quality Master Plan
Mr. Kiff said his updated spreadsheet (attached) now includes information about the
Upper and Lower Bay, Big Canyon Creek and prioritizations from the sub -committee
(Chairwoman Gardner, Mr. Baker and Mr. Seton). He reviewed the spreadsheet with
the committee and asked them whether they thought it was reasonable in terms of
priorities.
Mr. Kappeler suggested Newport Coast listed under ASBS should be a higher priority.
Mr. Baker questioned the Advocacy and Analysis section. He said the Newport Bay
Watershed Executive Committee should be on the list. Mr. Kiff agreed and said it
should be on the Watershed Executive Committee. Discussion ensued. Mr. Skinner
said most cities have one designated person involved in the Regional Board issues.
1
Chairwoman Gardner agreed and asked that having one specific and continuous person
for advocacy be added to the spreadsheet.
(b) Integrated Regional & Coastal Watershed Plan (IRCWMP)
Mr. Stein announced six grants have been completed and final invoices have been
forwarded to Sacramento for payment. He distributed final reports for three of the
programs: Newport Coast Watershed Program, ASBS Areas Pilot Program and the
Integrated Regional Water Management Grant Program/HAMP.
Mr. Stein talked about the crisis in watershed planning. He said the City is finalizing
some concept costs for the treatment of selenium. The County is estimating the cost at
a minimum of $40 million which is more than what's available. At the last NSMP
meeting Garry Brown of Coastkeeper questioned why the County is suggesting moving
forward on a $14-17 million pilot program that would not likely be approved by any City
Council. At that meeting, Bob said The Irvine Company suggested implementing some
of the pilot programs now. Examples of some of the pilot programs included diversion,
the Cienega plant filtration, subterranean wetlands, etc.
In response to Chairwoman Gardner, Mr. Skinner talked about the impact of selenium
on bird life, the strict standards imposed to protect the birds and where the selenium is
coming from. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Stein asked the committee if they could help him identify regional performance
objectives for Chairperson Gardner to share with the Executive Watershed Committee
so the committee would know what the City's interests are. Because some cities'
priorities are different from Newport Beach's, he thinks it's important to strategize on
how to get the City's allies together in order to obtain the results the City wants. The
committee came up with the following priorities:
Water Quality
1. Diversion of the ground
water replenishment
project
2. San Joaquin natural
treatment system
Sediment Control I Habitat
Lower Harbor Dredging Big Canyon
Low Impact Buck Gully
Development (LID)
3. Damming San Diego Creek Damming San Diego West side
(sediment) Creek restoration
4. Cleanup discharge of Maintenance of sediment Bayview/Mesa
Santa Ana Delhi Channel basins restoration
5. 1 JWA drainage system Serrano Creek
6. ' Bacteria projects Borrego Creek
Economics
County -wide fee
Advocacy to hold
developers a
accountable
2
7. Smart Timer controllers Peters Canyon Wash
8. Rhine Channel Fine sediment study
9. Newport Isle
10. Aerial jet fuel deposition;
car deposition
11. CalTrans drains and runoff
reduction
In response to Mr. Stein's question about what would be a performance objective to
propose to the Executive Watershed Committee in regards to sediment, Mr. Kiff
suggested it be 100% creek slope stabilization by 2025. For habitat he suggested as an
example, an objective of restoring 50 acres by 2020 and 100 acres by 2025. He said
he'd work with Mr. Kappeler and Mr. Stein to come up with an objective for water
uali .
S. Public Comments on Non -Agenda Items
Chairwoman Gardner talked about her recent attendance at the Coastal Commission
meeting as a representative of the California League of Cities coastal group. She
explained the frustration in terms of the Commission's turnover time for Local Coastal
Plans, the baseline shifts, etc. The Coastal Commission reported an equivalent of 21
positions having been lost due to the State's work furlough, which will slow the process
even more. The Commission was not interested in setting up further meetings because
it costs too much. She said the main message conveyed to the Coastal Commission
was that processes need to be changed.
Mr. Skinner talked about the gutter study he participated in along with Marty Getrich
from the Health Department lab, Mr. Kappeler and Ms. Mazur. Mr. Kappeler said he'd
like to bring a data graph back to the group for a short presentation.
6. Topics for Future Agendas
(a) DWR Model Landscape and Irrigation Ordinance
(b) Poseidon Desalination Project
(c) NOAA Grant Update
(d) Update on Integrated Watershed Planning Efforts
(e) Greywater Recycling
Mr. Baker requested the greywater recycling item be heard as soon as possible. He
suggested a couple of LEED representatives attend the meeting as soon as possible
because he's interested in experimenting with it as a homeowner and learning about it
from a public facility aspect, i.e. the new Civic Center.
Mr. Kappeler wants to bring the NPDES annual report to the committee in September or
October.
3
After a discussion about the new Civic Center's urban runoff containing too much
salinity for irrigation, Mr. Kappeler suggested contacting the representative from Aqua-
PhyD to see if their systems could be used to remove the salinity.
7. Set Next Meeting Date
The next meeting was set for September 10, 2009.
S. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 4:43 pm.
