Water Quality and Hydrology Plan required by Section 21.35.010.B.2
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code states:
Water Quality and Hydrology Plan. A Water Quality and Hydrology
Plan
(WQHP; see Section 21.35.050) shall be required for development
that requires a coastal development permit, has the potential for
adverse water quality or hydrologic impacts to coastal waters, and is
a development of water quality concern (see Section 21.35.050(A)).
Developments of water quality concern are specified categories of
development that have a greater potential for adverse water quality
and hydrologic impacts due to the development’s size, type of land
use, and/or proximity to coastal waters.
The WQHP shall be prepared by a qualified licensed professional,
and shall include a polluted runoff and hydrologic site
characterization, a sizing standard for BMPs, use of a low impact
development (LID) approach to retain the design storm runoff
volume on site, and documentation of the expected effectiveness of
proposed BMPs. Additional plan components that may be required
include an alternatives analysis, and a description of the treatment
control and/or runoff control BMPs the development will
implement to minimize potential post-development water quality
and hydrologic impacts. (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh.

Topography
The subject property includes a rectangular shaped lot located on
Schooner Road and enclosed by a shared green belt to the east and
by residential lots to the north and south. Elevations range from a
maximum of about 10.84 at the front of the property to a minimum
of about 9.82 at the rear of the property.
Drainage
Patterns/Connections
Existing drainage patterns/connections
Runoff surface flows into drain inlets located around the property
and the front half surface flows to the Schooner Road and the rear
half of the property flows to the green belt at the rear of the property.
Priority Project Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP)
Project: Tashima Residence
Owner: Paul Tashima Section III
JN: 23094 Page 7
Runoff from the property eventually surface flows to the end of the
green belt known as Reef Cove and then flows to Newport Bay.
Proposed drainage patterns/connections
Proposed runoff will follow existing patterns. On site runoff will
collect in inlets and a drainage system and get conveyed to catch
basins at the rear of the property. The catch basins will pretreat
runoff utilizing pretreatment filters. Pretreated water will convey to
two infiltration trenches and allow low flows to infiltrate into the
ground. Runoff in excess of the infiltration BMP capacity will
surface flow to the existing green belt and follow existing patterns
of discharge.

hydromodification
control
performance
criteria (Section
7.II-2.4.2.2 in
MWQMP)
If a hydrologic condition of concern (HCOC) exists, priority projects shall
implement on-site or regional hydromodification controls such that:
• Post-development runoff volume for the two-year frequency storm does
not exceed that of the predevelopment condition by more than five
percent, and
• Time of concentration of post-development runoff for the two-year storm
event is not less than that for the predevelopment condition by more than
five percent.
Where the Project WQMP documents that excess runoff volume from the
two-year runoff event cannot feasibly be retained and where in-stream
controls cannot be used to otherwise mitigate HCOCs, the project shall
implement on-site or regional hydromodification controls to:
• Retain the excess volume from the two-year runoff event to the MEP, and
Implement on-site or regional hydromodification controls such that the
post-development runoff two-year peak flow rate is no greater than 110
percent of the predevelopment runoff two-year peak flow rate.

IV.4.1 Water Quality Credits
Determine if water quality credits are applicable for the project. Refer to Section 3.1 of the Model
WQMP for description of credits and Appendix VI of the Technical Guidance Document (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.
Calculation of
Water Quality
Credits
(if applicable)
None.

INF-2: Infiltration Trench Fact Sheet
An infiltration trench is a long, narrow, rock-filled trench
with no outlet other than an overflow outlet. 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.

□
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.
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.

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

PRE-2: Catch Basin Insert Fact Sheet
Catch basin inserts are manufactured filters or fabric placed in
a drop inlet to remove sediment and debris and may include
sorbent media (oil absorbent pouches) to remove floating oils
and grease. Catch basin inserts are selected specifically based
upon the orientation of the inlet and the expected sediment
and debris loading.
Opportunity Criteria
x Catch basin inserts come in such a wide range of
configurations that it is practically impossible to generalize
the expected performance. Inserts should mainly be used for
catching coarse sediments and floatable trash and are
effective as pretreatment in combination with other types of
structures that are recognized as water quality treatment
BMPs. Trash and large objects can greatly reduce the effectiveness of catch basin inserts with
respect to sediment and hydrocarbon capture.
x Catch basin inserts are applicable for drainage area that include parking lots, vehicle
maintenance areas, and roadways with catch basins that discharge directly to a receiving water.
OC-Specific Design Criteria and Considerations
□ Frequent maintenance and the use of screens and grates to keep trash out may decrease the
likelihood of clogging and prevent obstruction and bypass of incoming flows.
□ Consult proprietors for specific criteria concerning the design of catch basin inserts.
□ Catch basin inserts can be installed with specific media for pollutants of concern.
Proprietary Manufacturer / Supplier Websites
x Table XIV.2 is a list of manufacturers that provide catch basin inserts. The inclusion of these
manufacturers does not represent an endorse of their products. Other devices and manufacturers

Did You Know?
Most people believe that the largest source
of water pollution in urban areas comes from
specific sources such as factories and sewage
treatment plants In fact, the largest source
of water pollution comes from city streets,
neighborhoods, construction sites and parking
lots This type of pollution is sometimes
called “non-point source” pollution
There are two types of non-point source
pollution: stormwater and urban runoff
pollution
Stormwater runoff results from rainfall
When rainstorms cause large volumes
of water to rinse the urban landscape,
picking up pollutants along the way
Urban runoff can happen any time of
the year when excessive water use from
irrigation, vehicle washing and other
sources carries trash, lawn clippings and
other urban pollutants into storm drains
Where Does It Go?
Anything we use outside homes, vehicles and
businesses – like motor oil, paint, pesticides,
fertilizers and cleaners – can be blown or washed
into storm drains
A little water from a garden hose or rain can also
send materials into storm drains
Storm drains are separate from our sanitary
sewer systems; unlike water in sanitary sewers
(from sinks or toilets), water in storm drains is
not treated before entering our waterways
Printed on Recycled Paper The Orange County Stormwater Program has created and moderates an electronic mailing list to facilitate communications, take questions and exchange ideas among its users about issues and topics related to stormwater and urban runoff and the implementation of program elements To join the list, please send an email to ocstormwaterinfo-join@list ocwatersheds comOrange County Stormwater Program
Even if you live miles from the Pacific
Ocean, you may be unknowingly
polluting it.
Sources of Non-Point Source Pollution
Automotive leaks and spills
Improper disposal of used oil and other engine
fluids
Metals found in vehicle exhaust, weathered paint,
rust, metal plating and tires
Pesticides and fertilizers from lawns, gardens and
farms
Improper disposal of cleaners, paint and paint
removers
Soil erosion and dust debris from landscape and
construction activities
Litter, lawn clippings, animal waste, and other
organic matter
Oil stains on parking lots and paved surfaces
The Effect on the Ocean
Non-point source
pollution can have
a serious impact
on water quality
in Orange County
Pollutants from the
storm drain system
can harm marine life
as well as coastal and wetland habitats They can
also degrade recreation areas such as beaches,
harbors and bays
Stormwater quality management programs have
been developed throughout Orange County to
educate and encourage the public to protect water
quality, monitor runoff in the storm drain system,
investigate illegal dumping and maintain storm
drains
Support from Orange County residents and
businesses is needed to improve water quality
and reduce urban runoff pollution Proper use
and disposal of materials will help stop pollution
before it reaches the storm drain and the ocean
Dumping one quart of motor oil into a
storm drain can contaminate 250,000
gallons of water.

Help Prevent Ocean Pollution:
Tips for the
Home Mechanic
The Ocean Begins at
Your Front Door
Clean beaches and healthy
creeks, rivers, bays and
ocean are important to
Orange County. However, not
properly disposing of used oil is
illegal and can lead to fines. If you
pour or drain oil onto driveways,
sidewalks or streets, it can be
washed into the storm drain.
Help prevent water pollution by
taking your used oil and oil filters
to a used oil collection center. Most
major automotive maintenance
centers will accept up to five gallons
of used motor oil at no cost. For a
list of locations, please visit

• Report emergencies to 911.
VeHIcLe FLuId MAnAgeMenT
• Vehicle fluids are hazardous waste
and must be stored and disposed of
in accordance with all local, state and
federal laws.
• designate an area to drain vehicle
fluids away from storm drains and
sanitary drains.
• When possible, drain vehicle fluids
indoors
or within
covered
areas, and
only over
floors
that are
constructed of a non-porous material
such as concrete. Asphalt and dirt
floors absorb spilled or leaked fluids,
making the cleanup extremely difficult.
WORk SITe
• Locate the storm drains on or near
your property. do not allow used oil
or any materials to flow into these
drains.
• examine your home for sources of
pollution.
• Perform automotive projects under
cover and in a controlled area to
prevent stormwater runoff.
• Sweep or
vacuum
your
automotive
workspace
regularly
• use a damp mop to clean work areas.
never hose down surfaces into the
street, gutter or storm drain.
• Pour mop water into a sink or toilet.
never dispose of water in a parking lot,
street, gutter or storm drain.
PReVenT LeAkS And SPILLS
• keep absorbent materials such as rags
and/or cat litter in the work area
• empty drip pans into a labeled, seal
container before they are full
• Wipe up any spills or repair leaks as they
happen. don’t let them sit.
• Place large pans under any wrecked cars
until all fluids are drained.
• Promptly dispose of collected fluids into a
hazardous waste drum or deliver them to
an oil recycling center. used oil recycling

cLeAnIng SPILLS
• clean up spills immediately by using
absorbent material such as rags, cat litter
or sand. If the
material spilled
is hazardous,
dispose of the
rag, litter or
sand in the
same manner
as hazardous
waste. If the material spill is non-
hazardous, 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
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.

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:
To report a spill, call the Orange County 24-Hour Water Pollution Prevention Reporting Hotline at 1-877-89-SPILL \ (1-877-897-7455)
Special Thanks toThe 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.
RUNOFF, RAINWATER AND REUSE
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

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 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 rebates 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.

• 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 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.
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.

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

Help Prevent Ocean Pollution:
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

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:

Clean beaches and healthy
creeks, rivers, bays and ocean
are important to Orange County.
However, not properly disposing
of household hazardous waste can
lead to water pollution. Batteries,
electronics, paint, oil, gardening
chemicals, cleaners and other
hazardous materials cannot be
thrown in the trash. They also must
never be poured or thrown into
yards, sidewalks, driveways, gutters
or streets. Rain or other water could
wash the materials into the storm
drain and
eventually into
our waterways
and the ocean.
In addition,
hazardous
waste must not

OR SEWER.
Pollution Prevention
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 &
Swap” program that lets you take partially
used home, garden, and automobile
products free of charge. There are four
HHWCCs in Orange County:
Anaheim: ..................1071 N. Blue Gum St
Huntington Beach: .........17121 Nichols St
Irvine:............................ 6411 Oak Canyon
San Juan Capistrano:... 32250 La Pata Ave
Centers are open Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-
3 p.m. Centers are closed on rainy days and
major holidays. For more information, call
(714) 834-6752 or visit www.oclandfills.com.

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.

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.

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

Printed on Recycled Paper
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.

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/

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.

Tips for Residential
Pool, Landscape and
Hardscape Drains
Pool Maintenance
All pool water discharged to the curb, gutter or
permitted pool drain from your property must meet the
following water quality criteria:
The residual chlorine does not exceed
0.1 mg/L (parts per
million).
The pH is between
6.5 and 8.5.
The water is free
of any unusual
coloration.
There is no discharge
of filter media or acid
cleaning wastes.
Some cities have ordinances that do not allow pool
water to be discharged to the storm drain. Check with
your city.
Landscape and
Hardscape Drains
The following recommendations will help reduce or
prevent pollutants from your landscape and hardscape
drains from entering the street, gutter or storm drain.
Unlike water that enters the sewer (from sinks and
toilets), water that enters a landscape or hardscape
drain is not treated before entering our creeks, rivers,
bays and ocean.
Household Activities
Do not rinse spills of materials or chemicals to any
drain.
Use dry cleanup methods such as applying cat
litter or another absorbent material, then sweep it
up and dispose of it in the trash. If the material is
hazardous, dispose of it at a Household Hazardous
Waste Collection Center (HHWCC). For locations,
call (714) 834-6752 or visit www.oclandfills.com.
Do not hose down your driveways, sidewalks or
patios to your landscape or hardscape drain.
Sweep up debris and dispose of it in the trash.
Always pick up after your pet. Flush waste down
the toilet or dispose of it in the trash.
Tips for Residential Pool, Landscape and Hardscape Drains
Do not store items such as cleaners, batteries,
automotive fluids, paint products, TVs, or
computer monitors uncovered outdoors. Take
them to a HHWCC for disposal.
Yard Maintenance
Do not overwater. Water by hand or set
automated irrigation systems to reflect seasonal
water needs.
Follow directions on
pesticides and fertilizers
(measure, do not estimate
amounts) and do not use
if rain is predicted within
48 hours.
Cultivate your garden
often to control weeds
and reduce the need to
use chemicals.
Vehicle Maintenance
Never pour oil or antifreeze down your
landscape or hardscape drain. Recycle these
substances at a service station, a waste collection
center or used oil recycling center. For
locations, contact the Used Oil Program at 1-800-
CLEANUP or visit www.CLEANUP.org.
Whenever possible, take your vehicle to a
commercial car wash.
If you do wash your vehicle at home, do not
allow the washwater to go down your landscape
or hardscape drain. Instead, dispose of it in
the sanitary sewer (a sink or toilet) or onto an
absorbent surface such as your lawn.
Use a spray nozzle that will shut off the water
when not in use.

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 1-877-897-7455 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 1-877-897-7455 or visit www.ocwatersheds.com to fill
out an incident reporting form.

Operation & Maintenance (O&M)
and Procedures
REM TRITON Filter Recommended Maintenance Procedures:
Maintenance and Inspections: In order to ensure proper operation, REM (Revel Environmental Manufacturing, Inc.) recommends that REM Stormwater filters be serviced and maintained when debris and pollutant accumulations exceed no more than 80% of the filter’s capacity. REM recommends that the filters are inspected and serviced at a minimum of three times (3X’s) per seasonal cycle year. The frequency and length of duration between inspections and maintenance may fluctuate based on specific site conditions such as local weather conditions, site use, and pollutant type and loading volume. Filter Media Replacement: In order to ensure proper operation, REM recommends that the FOG Media, or other specified media (such as Activated Carbon, and/or Zeolite) be replaced when the outer surface of media is no more than 50% coated with contaminants. (The surface area of REM’s standard FOG media is stark white in color. The media will blacken with encapsulated contaminants over time.) It is recommended that REM media packs and Bioflex be replaced a minimum of one time (1X) per seasonal cycle year. Sites with higher pollutant loading concentrations may require more frequent service and media replacement. Purchase replacement media packs from REM at (888) 526-4736 or sales@remfilters.com. Custom media configurations are available upon. Disposal:
Captured pollutant debris and spent media must be disposed of in accordance with all Federal, State, and
Local Laws and Regulations.
On-site Procedures for Triton Catch Basin Filter Inserts:
1. Secure area (proceed with traffic and pedestrian control plan).
2. Clean surface area immediately around each storm drain utilizing a stiff bristled push-broom, flat
shovel or industrial vacuum.
3. Proceed with confined space procedures as necessary.
4. Remove grate or manhole cover and set aside.
5. Inspect perimeter filter flange gasket. Confirm media cartridge is secure in the filter basin.
6. Remove debris trapped in grate slot openings.
7. Utilize an industrial vacuum to remove debris from within filter basin.
8. Pressure wash media pack through the stainless steel cartridge. (Avoid discharge by utilizing an
industrial vacuum to remove excess water while pressure washing).
9. Inspect media housed inside stainless steel cartridge. REM recommends replacing the filter media
a minimum of once a year (see Filter Media Replacement above).
10. Place grate or manhole cover back on catch basin grate frame.
11. Secure dated service lock-out tag on grate lid.
12. Identify catch basin on site map for tracking and reporting.
13. Note observations, concerns or recommendation regarding specific filter on maintenance report.
14. Remove pedestrian and/or traffic control barricades.
