II.3 Hydrologic Conditions of Concern
Determine if streams located downstream from the project area are determined to be potentially
susceptible to hydromodification impacts. Refer to Appendix C of the Model WQMP for reference to
applicable technical guidance for determining if downstream channels are susceptible to HCOCs.
No – Show map and/or describe and reference supporting documentation in the space below.
Yes – Describe applicable hydrologic conditions of concern in the space below.
(source:
http://landrecords.ocpublicworks.com/ocsl/)
Hydrologic Conditions of Concern (HCOCs) do not exist for this project since site runoff is
conveyed in a storm drain system and discharged directly into Newport Bay. As shown above per
the North County Hydromodification and Susceptibility Map for Newport Bay (Figure XVI-3d in
the TGD) the project does not lie within any susceptible area.

criteria (Section
7.II-2.4.3 from
MWQMP)
• Priority Projects must infiltrate, harvest and use, evapotranspire, or
biotreat/biofilter, the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event (Design
Capture Volume).
• A properly designed biotreatment system may only be considered if
infiltration, harvest and use, and evapotranspiration (ET) cannot be
feasibly implemented for the full design capture volume. In this case,
infiltration, harvest and use, and ET practices must be implemented to
the greatest extent feasible and biotreatment may be provided for the
remaining design capture volume.

Overview
The ultimate plan of development for the proposed project is shown on the WQMP Site Plan in
Section VI of this report. The project Grading Plan shows the proposed grading and site
improvements necessary for construction of the proposed residential building.
Site Design Practices
The project incorporates Site Design practices as follows:
• Preserve Existing Drainage Patterns and Time of Concentration – The ultimate
points of discharge are the same for the pre- and post-project conditions. Time of
concentration will be similar, since pre-and post-project flow path lengths will be
similar.
Drainage Management Areas (DMAs)
The site has one Drainage Management Area (DMA-1). Drainage from this area discharges to the
existing storm drain system along Bayside Drive.

IV.4.2 Water Quality Credits
Determine if water quality credits are applicable for the project. Refer to Section 7.II-3.2 of the Model
WQMP for description of credits and TGD Appendix VI for calculation methods for applying WQ 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.
Calculation of
Water Quality
Credits (if
applicable)
This project does not qualify for the water quality credits listed above.
IV.4.3 Treatment Control BMPs
Since the project is fully treated using Hydrologic Source Controls and Bioretention planter boxes,
utilization of Treatment Control BMPs is not required.

XIV.5. Biotreatment BMP Fact Sheets (BIO)
Conceptual criteria for biotreatment BMP selection, design, and maintenance are contained in
Appendix XII. These criteria are generally applicable to the design of biotreatment BMPs in
Orange County and BMP-specific guidance is provided in the following fact sheets. 24
Note: Biotreatment BMPs shall be designed to provide the maximum feasible infiltration and ET based on
criteria contained in Appendix XI.2.
BIO-1: Bioretention with Underdrains
Bioretention stormwater treatment facilities are landscaped
shallow depressions that capture and filter stormwater
runoff. These facilities function as a soil and plant-based
filtration device that removes pollutants through a variety of
physical, biological, and chemical treatment processes. The
facilities normally consist of a ponding area, mulch layer,
planting soils, and plants. As stormwater passes down
through the planting soil, pollutants are filtered, adsorbed,
biodegraded, and sequestered by the soil and plants.
Bioretention with an underdrain are utilized for areas with
low permeability native soils or steep slopes where the
underdrain system that routes the treated runoff to the storm
drain system rather than depending entirely on infiltration.
Bioretention must be designed without an underdrain in areas of
high soil permeability.
Feasibility Screening Considerations
x If there are no hazards associated with infiltration (such as groundwater concerns, contaminant
plumes or geotechnical concerns), bioinfiltration facilities, which achieve partial infiltration,
should be used to maximize infiltration.
24 Not all BMPs presented in this section are considered “biofiltration BMPs” under the South Orange County
Permit Area. Biofiltration BMPs are vegetated treat-and-release BMPs that filter stormwater through amended soil
media that is biologically active, support plant growth, and also promote infiltration and/or evapotranspiration. For
projects in South Orange County, the total volume of storage in surface ponding and pores spaces is required to be at
least 75% of the remaining DCV that the biofiltration BMP is designed to address. This prevents significant down-
sizing of BMPs which otherwise may be possible via routing calculations. Biotreatment BMPs that do not meet this
definition are not considered to be LID BMPs, but may be used as treatment control or pre-treatment BMPs. See
Section III.7 and Worksheet SOC-1 for guidance.

XIV-51 December 20, 2013
x Bioretention with underdrain facilities should be lined if contaminant plumes or geotechnical
concerns exist. If high groundwater is the reason for infiltration infeasibility, bioretention facilities with underdrains do not need to be lined.
Opportunity Criteria
x Land use may include commercial, residential, mixed use, institutional, and subdivisions.
Bioretention may also be applied in parking lot islands, cul-de-sacs, traffic circles, road shoulders, road medians, and next to buildings in planter boxes.
x Drainage area is ≤ 5 acres.
x Area is available for infiltration.
x Site must have adequate relief between land surface and the stormwater conveyance system to permit vertical percolation through the soil media and collection and conveyance in underdrain to
stormwater conveyance system.
OC-Specific Design Criteria and Considerations
□ Ponding depth should not exceed 18 inches; fencing may be required if ponding depth is greater than 6 inches to mitigate drowning.
□ The minimum soil depth is 2 feet (3 feet is preferred).
□ The maximum drawdown time of the bioretention ponding area is 48 hours. The maximum drawdown time of the planting media and gravel drainage layer is 96 hours, if applicable.
□ Infiltration pathways may need to be restricted due to the close proximity of roads, foundations, or other infrastructure. A geomembrane liner, or other equivalent water proofing, may be placed
along the vertical walls to reduce lateral flows. This liner should have a minimum thickness of 30 mils.
□ If infiltration in bioretention location is hazardous due to groundwater or geotechnical concerns, a geomembrane liner must be installed at the base of the bioretention facility. This liner should
have a minimum thickness of 30 mils.
□ The planting media placed in the cell shall be designed per the recommendations contained in MISC-1: Planting/Storage Media
□ Plant materials should be tolerant of summer drought, ponding fluctuations, and saturated soil conditions for 48 hours; native place species and/or hardy cultivars that are not invasive and do
not require chemical inputs should be used to the maximum extent feasible
□ The bioretention area should be covered with 2-4 inches (average 3 inches) or mulch at the
start and an additional placement of 1-2 inches of mulch should be added annually.
□ Underdrain should be sized with a 6 inch minimum diameter and have a 0.5% minimum slope.
Underdrain should be slotted polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe; underdrain pipe should be more than 5 feet from tree locations (if space allows).
□ A gravel blanket or bedding is required for the underdrain pipe(s). At least 0.5 feet of washed aggregate must be placed below, to the top, and to the sides of the underdrain pipe(s).
□ An overflow device is required at the top of the bioretention area ponding depth.
□ Dispersed flow or energy dissipation (i.e. splash rocks) for piped inlets should be provided at
basin inlet to prevent erosion.
□ Ponding area side slopes shall be no steeper than 3:1 (H:V) unless designed as a planter box BMP with appropriate consideration for trip and fall hazards.

Simple Sizing Method for Bioretention with Underdrain
If the Simple Design Capture Volume Sizing Method described in Appendix III.3.1 is used to size a
bioretention with underdrain facility, the user selects the basin depth and then determines the appropriate
surface area to capture the DCV. The sizing steps are as follows:
Step 1: Determine DCV
Calculate the DCV using the Simple Design Capture Volume Sizing Method described in Appendix
III.3.1.
Step 2: Verify that the Ponding Depth will Draw Down within 48 Hours
The ponding area drawdown time can be calculated using the following equation:
DDP = (dP / KMEDIA) × 12 in/ft
Where:
DDP = time to drain ponded water, hours
dP = depth of ponding above bioretention area, ft (not to exceed 1.5 ft)
KMEDIA = media design infiltration rate, in/hr (equivalent to the media hydraulic conductivity with a factor of safety of 2; KMEDIA of 2.5 in/hr should be used unless other information is available)
If the drawdown time exceeds 48 hours, adjust ponding depth and/or media infiltration rate until 48 hour drawdown time is achieved.
Step 3: Determine the Depth of Water Filtered During Design Capture Storm
The depth of water filtered during the design capture storm can be estimated as the amount routed
through the media during the storm, or the ponding depth, whichever is smaller.
dFILTERED = Minimum [ ((KMEDIA × TROUTING)/12), dP]
Where:
dFILTERED = depth of water that may be considered to be filtered during the design storm event, ft
KMEDIA = media design infiltration rate, in/hr (equivalent to the media hydraulic conductivity with a factor of safety of 2; KMEDIA of 2.5 in/hr should be used unless other information is available)
TROUTING = storm duration that may be assumed for routing calculations; this should be assumed to be no greater than 3 hours. If the designer desires to account for further routing effects, the Capture
Efficiency Method for Volume-Based, Constant Drawdown BMPs (See Appendix III.3.2) should be
used.
dP = depth of ponding above bioretention area, ft (not to exceed 1.5 ft)
Step 4: Determine the Facility Surface Area
A = DCV/ (dP + dFILTERED)
Where:
A = required area of bioretention facility, sq-ft
DCV = design capture volume, cu-ft
dFILTERED = depth of water that may be considered to be filtered during the design storm event, ft
dP = depth of ponding above bioretention area, ft (not to exceed 1.5 ft)
In South Orange County, the provided ponding plus pore volume must be checked to demonstrate that it is greater than 0.75 of the remaining DCV that this BMP is designed to address. See Section III.7 and
Worksheet SOC-1.
TECHNICAL GUIDANCE DOCUMENT APPENDICES
XIV-53 December 20, 2013
Capture Efficiency Method for Bioretention with Underdrains
If the bioretention geometry has already been defined and the user wishes to account more explicitly for
routing, the user can determine the required footprint area using the Capture Efficiency Method for Volume-Based, Constant Drawdown BMPs (See 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 basin geometry
DD = (dp / KDESIGN) × 12 in/ft
Where:
DD = time to completely drain infiltration basin ponding depth, hours
dP = bioretention ponding depth, ft (should be less than or equal to 1.5 ft)
KDESIGN = design media infiltration rate, in/hr (assume 2.5 inches per hour unless otherwise proposed)
If drawdown is less than 3 hours, the drawdown time should be rounded to 3 hours or the Capture
Efficiency Method for Flow-based BMPs (See Appendix III.3.3) shall be used.
Step 2: Determine the Required Adjusted DCV for this Drawdown Time
Use the Capture Efficiency Method for Volume-Based, Constant Drawdown BMPs (See Appendix III.3.2)
to calculate the fraction of the DCV the basin must hold to achieve 80 percent capture of average annual stormwater runoff volume based on the basin drawdown time calculated above.
Step 3: Determine the Basin Infiltrating Area Needed
The required infiltrating area (i.e. the surface area of the top of the media layer) can be calculated using
the following equation:
A = Design Volume / dp
Where:
A = required infiltrating area, sq-ft (measured at the media surface)
Design Volume = fraction of DCV, adjusted for drawdown, cu-ft (see Step 2)
dp = ponding depth of water stored in bioretention area, ft (from Step 1)
This does not include the side slopes, access roads, etc. which would increase bioretention footprint. If the area required is greater than the selected basin area, adjust surface area or adjust ponding depth and
recalculate required area until the required area is achieved.
In South Orange County, the provided ponding plus pore volume must be checked to demonstrate that it is greater than 0.75 of the remaining DCV that this BMP is designed to address. See Section III.7 and
Worksheet SOC-1.
Configuration for Use in a Treatment Train
x Bioretention areas may be preceeded in a treatment train by HSCs in the drainage area, which would reduce the required design volume of the bioretention cell. For example, bioretention could
be used to manage overflow from a cistern.
x Bioretention areas can be used to provide pretreatment for underground infiltration systems.

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.
Printed on Recycled Paper
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 1-877-897-7455 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.
Tips for Home Improvement Projects
Do your part to prevent water
pollution in our creeks, rivers, bays
and ocean.
Clean beaches and healthy creeks, rivers,
bays, and ocean are important to Orange
County. However, many common household
activities can lead to
water pollution if you’re
not careful.
Litter, oil, chemicals and
other substances that
are left on your yard or
driveway can be blown
or washed into storm
drains that flow to the
ocean. Over-watering
your lawn and washing
your car can also flush
materials into the storm
drains. Unlike water in sanitary sewers
(from sinks and toilets), water in storm
drains is not treated.
You would never pour soap, fertilizers or oil
into the ocean, so don’t let them enter
streets, gutters or storm drains. Follow the
easy tips in this brochure to help prevent
water pollution.GENUINERECYCLEDPAPER

Household Tips
Gardening Activities
�Follow directions on pesticides and
fertilizers, (measure, do not estimate
amounts) and do not use if rain is
predicted within 48 hours.
�Water your lawn and garden by hand to
control the amount of water you use. Set
irrigation systems to reflect seasonal
water needs. If water flows off your yard
and onto your driveway or sidewalk,
your system is over-watering.
�Mulch clippings or leave them on the
lawn. If necessary, dispose in a green
waste container.
�Cultivate your garden often to control
weeds.
Washing and Maintaining Your Car
�Take your car to a commercial car wash
whenever possible.
�Choose soaps, cleaners, or detergents
labeled “non-toxic,” “phosphate free” or
“biodegradable.” Vegetable and citrus-
based products are typically safest for
the environment, but even these should
not be allowed into the storm drain.
�Shake floor mats into a trash can or
vacuum to clean.
�Do not use acid-based wheel cleaners and
“hose off” engine degreasers at home.
They can be used at a commercial facility,
which can properly process the washwater.
�Do not dump washwater onto your
driveway, sidewalk, street, gutter or
storm drain.Excess washwater shouldbe disposed of in the sanitary sewers
(through a sink, or toilet) or onto an
absorbent surface like your lawn.
�Use a nozzle to turn off water when not
actively washing down automobile.
�Monitor vehicles for leaks and place
pans under leaks. Keep your car well
maintained to stop and prevent leaks.
�Use cat litter or other absorbents and
sweep to remove any materials deposited
by vehicles. Contain sweepings anddispose of at a HHWCC.
�Perform automobile repair and
maintenance under a covered area and
use drip pans or plastic sheeting to keep
spills and waste material from reaching
storm drains.
�Never pour oil or antifreeze in thestreet, gutter or storm drains.
Recycle these substances at a service
station, HHWCC, or used oil recycling
center. For the nearest Used Oil
Collection Center call 1-800-CLEANUP
or visit www.ciwmb.ca.gov/UsedOil.
Pollution Prevention
Household Activities
�Do not rinse spills with water!Sweep
outdoor spills and dispose of in the trash.
For wet spills like oil, apply cat litter or
another absorbent material, then sweep
and bring to a household hazardous waste
collection center (HHWCC).
�Securely cover trash cans.
�Take household hazardous waste to a house-
hold hazardous waste collection center.
�Store household hazardous waste in closed,
labeled containers inside or under a cover.
�Do not hose down your driveway, sidewalk or
patio. Sweep up debris and dispose of in trash.
�Always pick up after your pet. Flush waste
down the toilet or dispose of in the trash.
�Bathe pets indoors or have them
professionally groomed.
Household Hazardous Wastes include:
�Batteries
�Paint thinners, paint strippers and removers
�Adhesives
�Drain openers
�Oven cleaners

Did you know that just
one quart of oil can pollute 250,000
gallons of water?
A clean ocean and healthy creeks, rivers,
bays and beaches are important to Orange
County. However, not properly disposing of
used oil can lead to water pollution. If you
pour or drain oil onto driveways, sidewalks
or streets, it can be washed into the storm
drain. Unlike water in sanitary sewers (from
sinks and toilets), water in storm drains is
not treated before entering the ocean. Help
prevent water pollution by taking your used
oil to a used oil collection center.
Included in this brochure is a list of
locations that will accept up to five gallons

Clean beaches and healthy
creeks, rivers, bays and
ocean are important
to Orange County. However,
many common activities such as
pest control can lead to water
pollution if you’re not careful.
Pesticide treatments must be
planned and applied properly
to ensure that pesticides 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 pesticides
into the ocean, so don’t let it
enter the storm drains. Pesticides
can cause significant damage
to our environment if used
improperly. If you are thinking
of using a pesticide to control a
pest, there are some important
things to consider.

Responsible
Pest Control
Printed on Recycled Paper
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.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) usually combines several least toxic pest control methods for long-term prevention and management of pest problems without harming you, your family, or the environment.
Three life stages of the common lady
beetle, a beneficial insect.
Tips for Pest Control
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

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:

The City of Los Angeles Stormwater Program for the use of its artwork
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California for the use of the California-
Friendly Plant and Native Habitat photosDid you know that most of the pollution found in our waterways is not from a single source, but from a “non-point” source meaning the accumulation of pollution from residents and businesses throughout the community
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. Please visit the Orange County Vector Control website for more information at www.ocvcd.org/mosquitoes3.php.
Rain Gardens
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.
R U N O F F , R A I N W A T E R A N D R E U S E
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

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 at least 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 ANDPOLLUTION 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 sprinklersyou can save water, prevent water pollution fromrunoff, keep your lawn healthy and save money.
•Set a timer for your sprinklers – lawns absorbthe water they need to stay healthy within a fewminutes of turning on the sprinklers. Time yoursprinklers; when water begins running off yourlawn, you can turn them off. Your timer can be setto water your lawn for this duration every time.
•Water at Sunrise – Watering early in the morningwill reduce water loss due to evaporation.Additionally, winds tend to die down in the earlymorning so the water will get to the lawn asintended.
•Water by hand – Instead of using sprinklers,consider watering your yard by hand. Hand-watering ensures that all plants get the properamount of water and you will prevent any waterrunoff, which wastes water and carries pollutantsinto our waterways.
•Fix leaks - Nationwide, households waste onetrillion gallons of water a year to leaks – that isenough water to serve the entire state of Texas fora year. If your garden hose is leaking, replace thenylon or rubber hose washer and ensure a tightconnection. Fix broken sprinklers immediately.
