RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 2025-035 opposing South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) serves as the regional air pollution control agency for Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, overseeing the regulation of stationary sources of air pollution. SCAQMD is currently considering the adoption of Rules 1111 and 1121, which aim to regulate air emissions from gas-powered central furnaces and residential-type natural gas-powered water heaters. While the intent of these rules are to reduce air pollution, there are concerns about the significant financial burdens on local residents and businesses. These regulations will impose significant financial burdens on to approximately 17 million homeowners, renters, and business owners.

The implementation of Rules 1111 and 1121 is expected to result in over $20 billion in costs to consumers. These rules include a ban on natural gas-powered furnaces and water heaters in new construction starting in 2026, as well as a phase-out of existing units by 2027. This would significantly increase construction costs and further exacerbate the housing affordability crisis already affecting Southern California. As local governments face pressure to build more affordable housing, any regulations that raise costs must be carefully examined to ensure that the benefits justify the financial strain placed on residents and businesses.

Moreover, the financial burden of complying with these rules is substantial. Homeowners, apartment owners, and businesses would not only need to replace furnaces and water heaters with all-electric models but also invest in costly upgrades such as electrical panel changes, new plumbing, and structural modifications. This would increase the cost of both new and existing housing, pricing many potential homeowners and renters out of an already expensive market. Apartment owners would also face significant financial challenges, as the costs of replacing natural gas appliances may be passed on to tenants, driving up rent prices in an already strained rental market.

Finally, the transition to all-electric water heaters and furnaces would place additional pressure on California’s already overstretched electric grid. These systems are essential for daily life, and the increased demand from millions of new electric units would heighten the risk of brownouts and power outages. While my office remains committed to supporting sustainable solutions to combat climate change, it is crucial that such measures balance environmental goals with economic realities.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

1 RESOLUTION NO. 2025-xxx

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREA

OPPOSING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AIR QUALITY
MANAGEMENT DISTRICT RULES 1111 AND 1121.

A. RECITALS:
(i) The South Coast Air Quality District (SCAQMD) is a regional air pollution control agency representing Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties with responsibility for regulating stationary sources of air pollution;
(ii) The SCAQMD is considering two rules that would have a significant impact on up to 17 million South Coast homeowners, renters and businesses: Rule 1111 would regulate air emissions from gas-powered central furnaces; and Rule 1121 would regulate air emissions from residential-type, natural gaspowered water heaters; (iii) Rules 1111 and 1121 would impose $20-plus billion in costs to consumers while providing minimal measurable air quality benefits for the four-county SCAQMD service area; City of Brea in order for the City to remain eligible for these funds.
(iv) These two rules would ban the use of natural gas-powered furnaces and water heaters in new construction, taking effect in 2026, further elevating construction costs and housing prices, thereby putting homeownership even further out of reach for many Southern Californians. These rules would phase out existing natural gas furnaces and water heaters in existing single family homes, multi-family housing, and businesses in 2027; (v) Housing affordability throughout California is and will remain a top public policy priority for (CITY) for the foreseeable future. Local governments are being pressured to build more housing – specifically, housing that people can afford. Any regulations that increase these costs deserve careful scrutiny to ensure that the increased costs are met with an equal or greater amount of benefit to the consumer;
(vi) Unlike most SCAQMD rules that regulate large stationary sources of air pollution like oil refineries and warehouses, Rules 1111 and 1121 specifically target individual homeowners, apartment buildings, and businesses large and small – meaning that the costs of these two rules will be directly borne by hard-working families and business owners; May 6, 2025
RESO. 2025-xxx
2 (vii) Rules 1111 and 1121 would require apartment owners, homeowners and businesses to invest not only in expensive all-electric furnaces and water heaters but would also necessitate that they retrofit homes and businesses with expensive electrical panel upgrades, extensive new plumbing, and physical renovations to accommodate compliant units – further raising the cost of new housing and likely pricing many potential homeowners and renters out of an already expensive market.
(viii) For apartment owners, the mandate to replace natural gas water heaters and furnaces with all-electric units is incredibly expensive. These significant costs will be passed down to tenants – leading to rent increases and placing additional financial pressure on renters in a region already struggling with housing affordability.
(ix) The SCAQMD’s water heater and furnace mandates will impose a significant increase in electricity demand on California’s electric grid.

Transitioning to all-electric water heaters and furnaces means increased demand on an electric grid that has not proven capable of consistently meeting existing demand. Water heaters and furnaces are essential elements in any house, apartment or business. Millions of new electric water heaters and furnaces would draw power from the grid and raise the risk of power brownouts or outages.

B. RESOLUTION:

NOW, THEREFORE, be it found, determined and resolved, by the City Council of the City of Brea as follows:

1. Rules 1111 and 1121 will have a profound impact and impose significant costs on millions of Southern California homeowners, renters and businesses who are already struggling to make ends meet while providing minimal air quality benefit;

2. The City of Brea opposes Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121 and urges the SCAQMD to indefinitely delay or cease consideration of these two anticonsumer regulations immediately.

Agenda Group
CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5D.

TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Kristin Griffith, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1260 formally accepting and implementing the updated California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Local Responsibility Area (LRA) maps for our jurisdiction.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) periodically updates fire hazard severity zone maps for Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs) throughout the state. These maps identify varying levels of fire hazard (Moderate, High, and Very High) based on factors including vegetation, topography, weather, crown fire potential, and ember production and movement.

State law requires local jurisdictions to formally adopt these maps by ordinance to ensure proper implementation of associated building standards and fire safety requirements in identified hazard zones.

CAL FIRE has completed its latest assessment of fire hazards in our jurisdiction and has provided updated LRA maps that reflect current conditions and risk factors. The proposed ordinance formally adopts these updated maps and authorizes their use for:

1. Determining applicable building standards for new construction

2. Implementing defensible space requirements

3. Disclosure requirements during real estate transactions

4. Emergency planning and fire prevention efforts
The updated maps incorporate the latest scientific methodologies and data, including vegetation mapping, fire history, weather patterns, and terrain analysis. These improvements enhance our ability to identify at-risk areas and implement appropriate mitigation measures.

The CalFire maps were posted on the City of Brea website on April 1, 2025 and are available for public comment through April 30, 2025. This first reading will be April 15, 2025, and the second reading will be May 6th, 2025. If approved, the new maps will go into effect June 6, 2025.

The ordinance was introduced on April 15, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
The adoption of the updated LRA maps will have minimal direct fiscal impact on the City. Implementation costs will be absorbed within the existing Fire Department budget.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREA

DESIGNATING FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES

A. RECITALS.
(i) The Legislature has declared in Government Code Section 51175(a):
“Wildfires are extremely costly, not only to property owners and residents, but also to local agencies. Wildfires pose a serious threat to the preservation of the public peace, health, or safety. The wildfire front is not the only source of risk since embers, or firebrands, travel far beyond the area impacted by the front and pose a risk of ignition to a structure or fuel on a site for a longer time. Since fires ignore civil boundaries, it is necessary that cities, counties, special districts, state agencies, and federal agencies work together to bring raging fires under control. Preventative measures are needed to ensure the preservation of the public peace, health and safety.”
(ii) Pursuant to Government Code Section 51179(a), the City is required to designate, by ordinance, Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in its jurisdiction, within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Government Code Section 51178.
(iii) In March, 2025, the State Fire Marshal updated and established Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones for the County of Orange, California, including the City of Brea, and published a map showing those zones (“Fire Zone Map”.) (iv) The Brea Fire Department has reviewed the Fire Zone Map and believes it accurately represents the Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the City.
(v) On or about March 24, 2025, information concerning the State Fire Marshal’s recommendation for designation of fire severity zones was made available for public review.
(vi) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

B. ORDINANCE.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Brea does hereby find and ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. The facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance, are true and correct.

SECTION 2. The City of Brea hereby designates the Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones as those areas identified in the attached Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference.

SECTION 3. Any and all provisions in any previously adopted City ordinances designating Fire Severity Zones within the City of Brea’s jurisdiction, are superseded by the provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.

City Council Regular Meeting Communication
E. Budget Adjustments to the City Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets for FY 2023-25 Meeting
Tuesday, May 6, 2025, 7:00 PM
Agenda Group
CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5E.

TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Kristin Griffith, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolutions appropriating funds to adjust the Fiscal Year 2023-25 City Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Budget adjustments are presented to the City Council periodically for review.  These adjustments represent the appropriation of funds for items previously approved by the City Council during the fiscal year, or staff recommended adjustments for City Council consideration, as well as requested adjustments to revenue estimates.

These adjustments are separated by funding source and the accounts are identified as either revenue accounts " (REV)", expenditure accounts "(EXP)", transfers-out "(TEXP)" or transfers-in "(TREV)".

For FY 2023-25, the below information highlights the recommended budget adjustments for the City's General Fund Operating Budget with a complete list (including non-General Fund adjustments) provided in City - Exhibit A.

Included in these adjustments are increased revenue projections for real property tax transfer revenue in the amount of $200,000 and acceptance of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement for costs incurred on eligible COVID-19 expenditures during the period of March 2020 through September 2020.

The reimbursement amount received from FEMA is $121,520 which is $37,588 more than initially budgeted.

Proposed adjustments also include increased costs attributed to sales tax discovery and auditing services performed by the City's sales tax consultant, Avenu Analytics.

Additionally, these proposed adjustments include funding for the design and construction of ADA improvements required from a settlement claim against the City.  Funding of $150,000 is needed and recommended to be funded from the Risk Management Fund (470) as a transfer-in to the City's General Fund (110).

Proposed adjustments also include the repair of street light damage resulting from traffic accidents.  Funding of $48,984 will come from reimbursements from insurance policy holders and/or responsible party billed by the City's Accounts Receivable Division.

Throughout the fiscal year, departments receive grant and donation funding. For this adjustment period, the Fire Department is requesting to adjust revenues and expenditures associated with various Fire Strike Team responses, including the Park Fire in Chico, Lake Fire in Santa Barbara County, and the Airport Fire in Trabuco Canyon.  There is no net impact to the City's General Fund (110), as reimbursement is provided through the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).

The Capital Improvement Program Budget adjustments in CIP - Exhibit A include a de-obligation request of $50,000 for the GIS Record Document Conversion project as a result of available funding within the Urban Runoff Fund (410) and a de-obligation request of $475,000 from the Traffic Impacts Fee Fund (540) for the Emergency Changeable Message Sign project.  There is sufficient funding available to continue to progress in this project.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee discussed this item at their April 29, 2025 meeting and was recommended for City Council approval.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
The Fiscal Year 2023-25 City Operating Budget adjustments for the City's General Fund (110) in City - Exhibit A, resulted in a net increase of $1,037,817  in revenues and transfers-in and an increase in expenditures and transfersout of $951,291. This resulted in a net General Fund increase in revenues over expenditures of $86,526 for FY 2024-

25. The City Operating Budget adjustments for all funds including the General Fund resulted in an increase in revenues and transfers-in of $1,037,817 and a increase in expenditures and transfers-out of $616,830 for a net increase in revenues over expenditures of $420,987 for FY 2024-25.

The Capital Improvement Program Budget adjustments resulted in a decrease in transfers-in of $525,000 and decrease in transfers-out of $525,000.

City Council Regular Meeting Communication
F. Second Amendment to the Waste Disposal Agreement with the County of Orange for Solid Waste Disposal Services
Meeting
Tuesday, May 6, 2025, 7:00 PM
Agenda Group
CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5F.

TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Kristin Griffith, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

Approve a second amendment to the Waste Disposal Agreement with the County of Orange for solid waste disposal services extending the term by 12 months.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Solid waste disposal at Orange County landfills is governed by a Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA). Orange County cities and sanitary districts agree to exclusively deposit specific waste at the County of Orange’s landfills in exchange for low and stable disposal rates. The current WDA was entered into in 2009 and amended in 2015 to extend the term through June 30, 2025.

In January 2022, Orange County Waste and Recycling (OCW&R) notified cities of its intent to revise the WDA to align with legislative requirements such as Senate Bill 1383, which requires local governments to divert organic waste from landfills. OCW&R presented a proposed successor agreement to the WDA, titled the Waste Infrastructure System Enhancement (WISE) agreement, at an Orange County City Manager’s summit on November 7, 2024. The WISE agreement proposed increasing the landfill contract disposal rate from $42.65 to $82 per ton.  It also proposed a rebate program for composted organic waste and allocating capital expenditures for organic recycling infrastructure at county landfills. The Orange County City Manager Association (OCCMA) was not supportive of the proposed new landfill disposal rate and other provisions in the WISE agreement.

The OCCMA  formed a committee in December 2024 to negotiate a successor agreement to the WDA and requested an extension of the current WDA to allow time for such negotiations. The extension period will allow stakeholders to conduct due diligence on a successor agreement to the WDA and evaluate costs, infrastructure plans, and future fee adjustments. The proposed second amendment extends the current WDA by one year, from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, to allow for continued negotiations to finalize mutually agreeable terms. The proposed second amendment includes a 2.6% disposal fee increase, per the escalation formula in the current WDA, which would increase the fee to $43.76 per ton. If the  OCCMA committee and OCW&R do not reach mutually agreeable terms by September 30, 2025, monthly updates will be provided to all Orange County cities and sanitary districts beginning in October 2025.

At April 1, 2025, Study Session, the City Council appointed Mayor Pro Tem Hupp and Council Member Marick to serve on an Ad Hoc Committee (Committee) for a new waste disposal agreement and cooperative terms with OCW&R. The Committee held a meeting on April 10, 2025 and was in favor of presenting the proposed second amendment for City Council approval.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee reviewed this item at their April 29, 2025 meeting, with Council Member Simonoff recusing himself, and Council Member Vargas recommended for City Council approval.

SUMMARY/FISCAL IMPACT
The current Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) between the County of Orange, all Orange County cities, and sanitary districts expires on June 30, 2025. Approving the second amendment to the WDA is in the public interest since it will ensure stable disposal rates and collaboration between all cities and sanitary districts in Orange County through June 30, 2026.

As part of the amended and restated franchise agreement with Republic Services, the increased disposal costs were already incorporated into the recently approved solid waste rate increases. Currently, no additional appropriations are needed for the FY 2025-2026 Sanitation and Street Sweeping Fund (440) operating budget.

Future budget adjustments are anticipated once negotiations have been completed for a long-term waste disposal agreement that will likely include higher contract disposal rates.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT (“Second Amendment”) is made and dated as of the date indicated on the cover page hereof between the County of Orange, a political subdivision of the State of California (the “County”), and the City (general law, charter or other), Special District or Sanitary District designated on the cover page of this Agreement and party to this Agreement (the “City”).

RECITALS
The County owns, manages, and operates a Waste Infrastructure System to manage municipal and solid waste generated within Orange County, California or imported from outside Orange County, California pursuant to contractual agreements (hereafter used referred to as “Disposal System” or “Waste Infrastructure System”). The Waste Infrastructure System collectively includes active Class III sanitary landfills (“County Landfills”), resource recovery, recycling and organics programs, infrastructure and operations, and regional household hazardous waste collection centers and other waste management related systems as may be deemed necessary by the County.

The County is also responsible for the long-term management of 20 closed landfills as required under Applicable Law.

County Landfills are used for the management of municipal solid waste pursuant to legislation including, but not limited to, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Division 30 of the California Public Resources Code) (the “Act”) and the Short-lived Climate Pollutants Reduction Act (“SB 1383”). County Landfills are also subject to other state and federal regulations designed to ensure that landfill operations minimize the impacts to public health and safety and the environment.

The City, in the exercise of its police power, its powers under the Act, and other Applicable Law, has entered into a franchise or other agreement with or issued permits or licenses to one or more private haulers for the collection, recycling, diversion, and disposal of municipal solid waste generated within the City.

The City and the County have historically provided for the management of municipal solid waste through Waste Disposal Agreements (“WDAs”), wherein the County agreed to provide disposal capacity for waste generated in the City, and the City agreed to deliver or cause the delivery of waste generated in the City to the Disposal System, as more specifically set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of the WDAs. In 2009, the Parties entered into a new WDA (referred to as the “Original WDA”). In 2016, the Original WDA was amended by the Parties (“First Amendment”), whereby the Parties updated certain terms and extended the term through June 30, 2025. (The Original WDA and its corresponding First Amendment are referred to in this Second Amendment as the “Current WDA”.) In response to passage of several pieces of legislation that require significant reductions in the disposal of organic waste, and in light of the approaching expiration of the Current WDA, the County held two City Manager Summits in November 2024 proposing terms of a new WDA.

The Orange County City Manager Association (“OCCMA”) has established a Committee (“OCCMA Committee”) including representatives of cities and sanitary districts to review the terms of the proposed new WDA. The OCCMA Committee requested a 12-month extension of the Current WDA to allow for additional time to negotiate mutually agreeable terms for a new WDA, and obtain approval from the respective

governing bodies. The County is agreeable to OCCMA’s requested extension to the Current WDA on terms as provided in this Second Amendment.

The City has determined that the execution of this Second Amendment by the City is in the best interest of the City and will serve the public health, safety, and welfare by continuing the waste disposal services historically provided under the Current WDA while the Parties: (1) engage in due diligence related to a new WDA, in order for the City to evaluate the cost/benefit of a new WDA, which is expected to include the City and OCCMA obtaining more comprehensive and detailed information on the County’s plans for infrastructure expansion and improvements, the financial and operational conditions of the existing Waste Infrastructure System, and the components, timing, and procedures for future contract fee increases; and, (2) negotiate the terms and conditions of a new WDA.

The County has determined that the execution by the County of this Second Amendment will serve the public health, safety, and welfare by continuing to provide a stable, predictable, and reliable supply of municipal solid waste and the resulting service payment revenue to the Disposal System, while the Parties exchange information and conduct negotiations with the County goal of ensuring that any negotiated Contract Rate in the new WDA covers the full cost of operations and infrastructure O&M and development needed to ensure indemnification and regulatory compliance.

Official action approving this Second Amendment and determining it to be in the public interest and authorizing its execution and delivery was duly taken by the City on the City authorization date indicated on the cover page hereof.

Official action approving this Second Amendment and determining it to be in the public interest and authorizing its execution and delivery was duly taken by the County on the County authorization date indicated on the cover page hereof.

It is, therefore, agreed as follows:

1. Extended Term.
(a) Section 6.1 (A) of the Current WDA is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Extended Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2026 (the “Extended Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, in which event the Extended Term shall be deemed to have expired as of the date of such termination.” (b) Section 6.1 (B) is deleted in its entirety.
(c) Section 6.1 (C) of the Current WDA is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Contract Rate Negotiations During Extended Term. If the Orange County City Manager Association’s committee tasked with negotiating the terms of a successor to this Agreement with the County and recommending approval of the same to the Parties (the “Committee”) and the County have not reached mutually agreeable terms of a successor to this Agreement including, but not limited to, proposed revisions to the Contract Rate, by September 30, 2025, the County shall, and it is expected that the Committee will provide, updates to all Participating Cities, and their respective governing bodies as may be deemed necessary, regarding the status of negotiations on a monthly basis until mutually agreeable terms are reached or the Extended Term expires.”

In recommending any revisions to the Contract Rate, in addition to the circumstances described in Section 4.2(A), the Committee and County may take into consideration factors including, but not limited to, the following:
(i) actual cost of operations;
(ii) population growth;
(iii) increase or decrease in available tonnage;
(iv) economic and disposal market conditions in the Southern California region; (v) changes in transportation and technology;

(vii) closure and expansion of nearby landfills;
(viii) capacity of the Disposal System;
(ix) long-term infrastructure needs; and
(x) available reserves which are in excess of the amount reasonably required as reserves. (d) Appendix 2 of the Current WDA is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

APPENDIX 2
Cumulative County Acceptable Waste Tonnage Target to be Used for Purposes of Section 4.2(B) Fiscal Year County Acceptable Waste Tonnage Cumulative County Acceptable Waste Tonnage FY 2025-26 3,166,659 3,166,659

2. Contract Rate.
(a) The first paragraph of Section 4.2(A) of the Current WDA is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(A) Establishment of Contract Rate. During the Extended Term, the Contract Rate payable by each Franchise Hauler shall be $43.76 per ton, contingent on the delivery to the Disposal System of an amount of Acceptable Waste at least equal to the Cumulative Tonnage Targets identified in Appendix 2, and subject to adjustment necessary to reflect the circumstances set forth in this Section 4.2, subsections (i) through (z).”
Note: Subsections (i) through (z) found in the Current WDA remain unchanged.

3. Effectiveness of Second Amendment.

The provisions of this Second Amendment shall not become effective unless and until this Second Amendment has been executed by the County and all of the Participating Cities, and shall become effective once that occurs.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Parties.

Each of the parties to this Second Amendment represent and warrant that it is a political subdivision of the State of California validly existing under the Constitution and laws of the State and that it has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment to each other party.

5. Remaining Terms.

All other terms and conditions of the Current WDA not specifically changed by this Second Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, COUNTY and CITY have caused this Second Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized officers or representatives as of the day and year first above written.

Tuesday, May 6, 2025, 7:00 PM

CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5G.

TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Kristin Griffith, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council take the following action:

1. Approve the Plans and Specifications;

2. Receive bids;

3. Award Contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, All American Asphalt, in the amount of $2,349,866.00; and,

4. Authorize the City Engineer to issue Change Orders up to a "not to exceed" amount of 10% of the Contract Price.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") project for the  Birch Street Phase 1A Street Improvements from N.

Kraemer Boulevard to Valencia Avenue, CIP 7329, was programmed for design and construction within the FY 2023-25 CIP Budget.  The overall project limits are along Birch Street from S. Associated Road to Valencia Avenue (see Attachment A for the overall project location). The overall Project consists of three phases: Phase 1 for the waterline improvements at the intersection of Birch St. & Kraemer Blvd., Phase 1A for the Birch Street paving improvements from Kraemer Blvd. to Valencia Ave., and Phase 1B for the Birch Street paving improvements from S.

Associated Rd. to Kraemer Blvd.

The Phase 1 component of the overall Project, for the waterline improvements, was taken to City Council for contract award on December 3, 2024, and is currently in construction. This agenda item relates to Birch Street Phase 1A Street Improvements from N. Kraemer Blvd. to Valencia Ave. (herein referred to as "Project"). The Project generally consists of, but not limited to, mobilization, pavement milling and removals, AC deep-lift, AC level course, ARHM overlay, removal and reconstruction of traffic loops, removal and reconstruction of curb access ramps and sidewalk, removal and replacement of median curbs and hardscape/irrigation, water valve and maintenance hole adjustments, pavement striping, traffic control, best management practices (BMPs) and other incidentals per the Project Plans and Specifications.

On January 23, 2025, the Final Plans and Specifications ("Bid Documents") were accepted by staff. The Project was advertised for bids on the CIPlist.com website and published in the Star Progress paper before bid opening. A hard copy of the Bid Documents is available at the City Clerk's office for review (see Attachment B for reference). One addendum was issued during the bid period, clarifying questions submitted by bidders. Therefore, staff recommends City Council approve the Plans and Specifications with Addendum #1 as bid.

On February 25, 2025, staff received six (6) bid proposals (see Bid Result Table below for summary). Soon thereafter, staff tabulated the bid proposals and determined that the apparent low bid amount was $2,349,866.00 from All American Asphalt from Corona, CA (see Attachment C for bid proposal).  The Engineer's Estimate was $2,500,000. Staff evaluated the bid proposal and determined that the bid unit prices from All American Asphalt were considered reasonable compared to the engineer's estimate and current bid unit prices at the time of bid.

BID RESULT TABLE

BIDDER NAME BID AMOUNT
All American Asphalt $2,349,866.00
R.J. Noble Company $2,382,217.50
PALP, INC. DBA Excel
Paving $2,494,684.50
Sequel Contractors Inc.  $2,599,520.00
Onyx Paving Company, Inc. $2,728,000.00
Sully-Miller Contracting
Company $3,012,000.00
All American Asphalt has been in the construction business for over 54 years and has completed similar street improvement projects for the City of Corona, the City of Monterey Park, and the City of Riverside.  Their California Contractor's license is 267073 – A (General Engineering), and Department of Industrial Relations registration number is 1000001051.  Both items have been verified by staff, and their bid package meets the City's proposal requirements. In addition, staff contacted the Cities of Corona, Monterey Park, and Riverside, where the contractor received  a favorable  review. Furthermore, based on the aforementioned bid review, staff has determined All American Asphalt's bid to be responsive and that they are a responsible bidder.

Additionally, All American Asphalt has experience working with the City of  Brea, providing services on various projects, including the Alley Rehabilitation Project (CIP 7919, 7320, & 7321), Central Ave. & Tamarack Ave.

Intersection Improvements (CIP 7310), and the Kraemer Boulevard & Lambert Road (Phase 3) Rehabilitation Project (CIP 7318).  Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council consider awarding a Construction Contract to All American Asphalt as the apparent lowest responsive and responsible bidder for $2,349,866.00 (see Attachment D for the construction contract agreement).

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee reviewed this item at their April 29, 2025 meeting and recommended for City Council approval.

SUMMARY/FISCAL IMPACT
The approved FY 2024-25 CIP Project budget for Construction and Construction Engineering for the overall Project is $3,813,542.00. The total Construction and Construction Engineering cost for this phase of the overall Project is $2,912,943.60, including the apparent low bid amount, a 10% contingency, and Construction Engineering costs.

Therefore, there are sufficient funds to complete the Project construction. Funds within the approved budget for this Project are from the Water Fund (Fund 420) and RMRA (Fund 221). Upon completion of the overall Project, the remaining fund balances will be de-obligated and transferred back into each respective fund.  There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund from this Project.

The Project will complete the rehabilitation/reconstruction improvements along Birch Street from N. Kraemer Boulevard to Valencia Avenue in the City of Brea, approximately 4,800 linear feet. If City Council approves staff recommendations, the Project is anticipated to start construction in June 2025 and be completed by October 2025.

City shall investigate the conditions, and if City finds that the conditions do materially differ or do involve hazardous waste and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of or the time required for performance of any part of the Work, City shall issue a change order.

B. In addition, whenever work under this Agreement involves an estimated expenditure in excess of $25,000 for the excavation of any trench or trenches five (5) feet or more in depth, Contractor shall submit for acceptance by City or by a registered civil or structural engineer employed by City to whom authority to accept has been delegated, in advance of excavation, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation, of such trench or trenches.

Nothing in this provision shall be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or other protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders.

SECTION 313

DETECTABLE WARNING SURFACES
[is hereby added to Part 3:].

Detectable Warning Surfaces Construction (Cast-In-Place) A. During all concrete pouring and tile installation procedures, ensure adequate safety guidelines are in place and that they are in accordance with the applicable industry and government standards.

B. The physical characteristics of the concrete shall be consistent with the contract specifications while maintaining a slump range of 4 – 7 to permit solid placement of the Cast-In-Place Tile System. An overly wet mix will cause the Cast-In-Place System to float, therefore under these conditions suitable weights such as 2 concrete blocks or sandbags (25 lb) shall be placed on each tile.

C. Prior to placement of the Cast-In-Place System, the contract drawings shall be reviewed with the engineer.

D. The concrete pouring and finishing operations require typical mason’s tools, however, a 4’ long level with electronic slope readout, 25 lbs weights, vibrator and small sledge hammer with 2” X 6” x 20” wood tamping plate are specific to the installation of the Cast-In-Place System.

E. The concrete shall be poured and finished, true and smooth to the required dimensions and slope prior to tile placement. Immediately after finishing the concrete, the electronic level should be used to check that the required slope is achieved. The tile shall be placed true and square to the curb edge in accordance with the contract drawings. The Cast-In-Place Tiles shall be tamped or vibrated into the fresh concrete to ensure that the field level of tile is flush to the adjacent concrete surface.

F. While concrete is workable a steel trowel shall be used to trowel the concrete around the tile perimeter to the field level of the tile.

G. During and after the tile installation and the concrete curing stage, it is imperative that there is no walking, leaning or external force placed on the tile to rock the tile, causing a void between the underside of the tile and concrete.

H. Following tile placement, review installation tolerances to contract drawings and adjust tile before the concrete sets, 2 suitable weights of 25 lb each shall be placed on each tile as necessary to ensure solid contact of tile underside of concrete.

I. Following the curing of the concrete, the protective plastic wrap is to be removed from the tile face by cutting the plastic with a sharp knife tight to the concrete/tile interface.

If concrete bleeding occurs, a wire brush will clean the residue without damage to the tile surface.

Installation Manual Armor-Tile Surface Applied Advanced Warning Strip Surface Tile (Applied on Existing Curb Ramp)
A. During all surface preparation and tile installation procedures, ensure adequate safety guidelines are in place and that they are in accordance with the applicable industry and government standards.

B. The application of all tile, adhesives, mechanical fasteners, and caulking shall be in strict accordance with the guidelines set by their respective manufacturers.

C. Work with the Contractor or Engineer to ensure that the surfaces being prepared and fabricated to receive the tiles are constructed correctly and adequately for tile Birch Street Phase 1A E-53 CIP 7329
Street Improvements
installation. Review design drawings with the Contractor prior to the construction and refer any and all discrepancies to the Engineer.

D. Set the tile true and square to the curb ramp area as detailed in the design drawings, so that its location can be marked on the concrete surface. A thin permanent marker works well. Remove tile when done marking its location.

E. The surface to receive the detectable warning surface tile is to be mechanically cleaned with a diamond cup grinder or shot blaster to remove any dirt or foreign material. This cleaning and roughening of the concrete surface should include at least 4 inches around the perimeter of the area to receive the tile, and also along the cross pattern established by the corresponding areas on the backside of the tile.

F. Immediately prior to installing the detectable warning surface tile, the concrete surfaces must be inspected to ensure that they are clean, dry, free of voids, curing compounds, projections, loose material, dust, oil, grease, sealers and determined to be structurally sound and cured for a minimum of 30 days.

G. Using Acetone, wipe the backside of the tile around the perimeter and along the internal cross pattern, to remove any dirt or dust particles from the area to receive the adhesive.

H. Apply the adhesive on the backside of the tile, following the perimeter and internal cross pattern established by the tile manufacturer. Sufficient adhesive must be placed on the prescribed areas to have full coverage across the 2” width of the adhesive locator. A 3 x 4 foot tile will typically require an entire tube of adhesive.

I. Set the tile true and square to the curb ramp area as detailed in the design drawings.

J. Standing with both feet applying pressure around the molded recess provided in the tile, drill a hole true and straight to a depth of 3½” using the recommended ¼” diameter bit.

Drill through the tile without hammer option until the tile has been successfully penetrated, and then with hammer option to drill into the concrete.

K. Immediately after drilling each hole, and while still applying foot pressure, vacuum, brush or blow away dust and set the mechanical fastener as described below, before moving on to the next hole.

L. Mechanically fasten tiles to the concrete substrate using a hammer to set the fasteners.

Ensure the fastener has been placed to full depth in the dome, straight, and flush to the top of dome. Drive the pin of the fastener with the hammer, taking care to avoid any inadvertent blows to the truncated dome or tile surface. A plastic deadblow or leather hammer is recommended.

M. Working in a sequence which will prevent buckles in the tile, proceed to drill and install all fasteners in the tile’s molded recesses.

N. Following the installation of the tiles, the perimeter caulking sealant should be applied.

Follow the perimeter caulking sealant manufacturer’s recommendations when applying.

Tape all perimeter edges of the tile and also tape the adjacent concrete back 1/2” from the tile’s perimeter edge. Tool the perimeter caulking with a plastic applicator or spatula to create a straight edge in a cove profile between the tile and adjacent concrete. Remove tape immediately after tooling perimeter caulking sealant.

O. Do not allow foot traffic on installed tiles until the perimeter caulking sealant has cured sufficiently to avoid tracking.

If installing adjacent tiles, note the orientation of each tile. Careful attention will reveal that one of the long edges of the tile is different than the other, in regard to the tiny dotted texture. You may also note a larger perimeter margin before the tiny dotted texture pattern begins. Consistent orientation of each Armor-Tile is required in order that the truncated domes on adjacent tiles line up with each other.

Birch Street Phase 1A E-54 CIP 7329
Street Improvements
In order to maintain proper spacing between truncated domes on adjacent tiles, the tapered edge should be trimmed off using a continuous rim diamond blade in a circular saw or mini-grinder. The use of a straightedge to guide the cut is advisable. All cuts should be made prior to installation of the tiles.

If installing adjacent tiles, care should be taken to leave a 1/8 inch gap between each.

If tiles are custom cut to size, and if pre-molded recesses (to receive fasteners) are removed by the cut, then any truncated dome can be center-drilled with a ¼ inch through hole, and countersunk with a suitable bit, to receive mechanical fasteners. New holes should be created no closer to the edge of the tile than any of the other perimeter fastener pre-molded recesses. Care should be taken to not countersink too deeply. Fasteners should be flush with the top of the truncated dome when countersunk properly.

Adhesive or caulking on the surface of the Armor-Tile can be removed with Acetone.

Storm Drain Inlet Protection:

Ponding and/or filtering stormwater to remove pollutants (primarily sediment) from entering the storm drain system.

Type Description
Storm Drain
Inlet
Protection
Filtering or ponding of stormwater before it enters a storm drain inlet to reduce the amount of sediment that discharges. Storm drain inlet protection should be implemented at every storm drain inlet that receives runoff from active construction areas. Ponding of sediment laden stormwater can provide the best results if the ponding capacity is appropriate for the tributary drainage area. Ponding may be limited by street traffic constraints. Other sediment controls such as check dams should be used upstream to reduce the amount of sediment that reaches the storm drain inlet protection. After a storm sediment that has settled must be cleaned up. Reference: CASQA SE-10, SE-14.

Table 7: Sediment Capture BMPs
Sediment Capture:

Capturing sediment in channelized stormwater to reduce sediment discharge.

Type Description
Sediment Trap
/ Basin
Constructing a temporary containment area to detain runoff to allow for deposition of sediment prior to stormwater discharge. Sediments traps / basins are effective when implemented within the downstream section of a construction site or at discharge points. Sediment traps can be effectively implemented throughout a large construction site. Sediment basins can efficiently be developed at locations where future post-construction basins will be utilized. Sediment traps should only be used for tributary drainage areas below 5 acres. Sediment basins should be used for tributary drainage areas between 5 and 75 acres. Sediment traps / basins can be large and may not be suitable for small construction projects. Sediment traps / basins should be sized by a Registered Civil Engineer to ensure they have sufficient capacity.

Sediment traps / basins should not hold water for longer than 72 hours. Local agencies may have stricter vector control and child safety fence requirements.

Typically dikes, swales, or piping are required to direct runoff to traps / basins.

Reference: CASQA SE-2, SE-3
Check Dams Constructing small barriers along a swale or channel to reduce channel erosion and allow for deposition of sediment. Check dams are effective for sediment control within un-stabilized concentrated flow paths on the construction site such as swales, ditches, or channels. Typically, check dams are constructed of rock, sand / gravel bags or fiber rolls. Effective check dams will collect sediment behind each check dam which must be removed regularly to maintain the performance of the check dam. Check dams should not be constructed with straw bales or silt fence. Reference: CASQA SE-4, SE-5, SE-6, SE-8 BID DOCUMENT 1-23-2025

Street Cleaning:

Cleaning streets and other paved areas that have collected sediment and/or debris to prevent it from entering the storm drain system.

Type Description
Street
Sweeping and
Vacuuming
Cleaning sediment from streets and roadways to reduce the potential discharge to storm drain inlets or receiving waters. Sweeping and vacuuming should be implemented on all paved areas within and adjacent to construction sites.

Inspect and maintain areas subject to sediment tracking on a daily basis. Utilize methods that collect and remove sediment instead of methods that simply spread the sediment around. Reference: CASQA SE-7

3.4.3 Wind Erosion Control (WE)
Wind Erosion Control is any practice that protects the soil surface and prevents the soil particles from being detached by wind. Wind Erosion Control is also referred to as dust control.

Table 9: Wind Erosion Control BMPs
Wind Erosion Control:

Covering or wetting exposed soil to prevent erosion by-way-of wind.

Type Description
Wind Erosion
Control
Preventing wind from causing erosion or dust. Examples include: wet suppression, chemical dust suppression, covering exposed sediment, and minimizing disturbed area though scheduling. Wind erosion control should be implemented at every construction project throughout all disturbed areas. Wet suppression is sufficient for most projects if implemented regularly. Other requirements (Clean Air Act, Air Quality Management Districts, etc.) typically address wind erosion control. Chemical dust suppression should only be implemented when it will have no negative environmental impacts. Reference:

3.4.4 Tracking Control (TC)
Tracking Control is any practice that prevents or reduces the amount of sediment that is tracked to paved areas from unpaved areas by vehicles or construction equipment.

Table 10: Tracking Control BMPs
Tracking Control:

Reducing the amount of sediment that leaves the site from vehicles and construction equipment.

Type Description
Stabilized
Construction
Entrance / Exit
Constructing a stabilized surface where sediment can be dislodged from vehicle and equipment tires before being tracked onto off-site paved roads. Stabilized construction entrance / exits should be implemented at every construction project to prevent sediment tracking from the site. Stabilized construction entrances / exits should be 50 feet or more in length. The most common method is to place 3-6 inch rock at least 1 foot high over filter fabric. Additional rock may need to be added as sediment accumulates. Rumble plates can be added for additional sediment removal. Tracking controls are a minimum BMP requirement of the CGP.

3.4.5 Non-Stormwater Management (NS)
Non-stormwater management is any practice that limits or reduces potential pollutants at their source before they are exposed to stormwater. Non-stormwater management typically involves day-to-day operations of the construction site and is usually under the control of the contractor. Non-stormwater management is often referred to as good housekeeping practices.

Table 11: Non-Stormwater Management BMPs
Non-Stormwater Management:

Preventing construction related pollutants from contacting stormwater.

Type Description
Vehicle and
Equipment
Pollution
Prevention
Preventing, containing, and disposing of pollutants from cleaning, fueling, and maintaining vehicles and equipment. Vehicle and equipment pollution prevention should occur at every construction project that cleans, fuels, or maintains vehicles or equipment. All cleaning, fueling, and maintenance performed on the site should occur in an area designated for the activity and at least 50 feet away from downstream storm drain facilities. Avoid “topping-off” of fuel tanks. Keep absorbent spill cleanup materials available; dispose of used materials properly. Train employees and subcontractors proper spill prevention, control, and cleanup procedures. Use drip pans or a secondary containment area for fueling and maintenance. Inspect for equipment leaks daily. Prevent wash water from entering storm drain system. Reference: CASQA NS-8, NS-9, NS-10
Dewatering
Operations
Managing and/or treating the discharge of accumulated stormwater or nonstormwater (groundwater or water used during construction activities) to prevent unauthorized discharge. Dewatering operations should be implemented for any discharge of accumulated stormwater or non-stormwater. Primary concern with accumulated stormwater is sediment. Common methods for reducing sediment from a discharge are sediment traps / basins, weir tanks, dewatering tanks, filter bags / socks, media / cartridge filters. Risk Level and LUP Type 2 and 3 projects must sample accumulated stormwater discharge. As an alternative, accumulated stormwater can be pumped to another area on the site for infiltration to eliminate the need to discharge. Non-stormwater discharges typically require a separate discharge permit. An example of a dewatering filter bag for stormwater dewatering discharges is provided below. Reference:

Paving and
Grinding
Operations
Managing paving and grinding operations to reduce the potential for pollutant discharge. Paving and grinding operations should be implemented at every construction project that involves paving, resurfacing, of saw cutting. Avoid paving operations when rain is forecasted. Grindings, saw-cutting slurry, and waste / debris must be collected and recycled or properly disposed of; none of this should be allowed to enter the storm drain system. Do not apply seal coat, tack coat, slurry seal, or fog seal if rain is forecasted within the curing period.

Appendix B: Permit Descriptions

1. Construction General Permit (2009-0009-DWQ / CAS000002) Note: This Section applies only to projects with greater than or equal to one acre of disturbed area.

In 2009, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Order No., 2009-0009- DWQ, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities, NPDES No.

CAS000002 (Construction General Permit or CGP).

The CGP requires that construction sites with one acre or greater of soil disturbance or less than one acre but part of a greater common plan of development apply for coverage for discharges under the CGP by submitting Permit Registration Documents (PRD) for coverage, developing a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), implementing BMPs to address construction site pollutants and complying with the monitoring requirements of the CGP.

The County’s and cities’ construction site requirements are coordinated with, but separate from the CGP. The CGP applies regardless of whether a construction site discharges directly to receiving waters or to a municipal storm drain system. Inspections of construction sites by County / cities (for MS4 permit compliance) or by Regional Board staff (for CGP compliance) are separate and carry different enforcement actions / mechanisms.

The following briefly summarizes the process for a construction project that is subject to the CGP:
§ The project owner, Legally Responsible Person (LRP), is responsible for obtaining CGP coverage. Permit coverage is obtained by preparing and certifying the Permit Registration Documents (PRDs). PRDs must be uploaded and certified by the LRP in the SWRCB Storm Water Multi Application Report Tracking System (SMARTS, https: / / smarts.waterboards.ca.gov / ).
§ Each project subject to the CGP requires the services of a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) and a Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP). These titles are defined in the CGP, Section VII.
§ Each year an Annual Report must be submitted and certified in SMARTS. The reporting period is from August 1 to June 30 and Annual Reports are due on September 1. § After construction is completed and the site fully complies with the final stabilization requirements of the CGP, the owner must terminate permit coverage through SMARTS.

2. MS4 Permit for Santa Ana Region (R8-2009-0030 / CAS618030) In 2009, the Santa Ana Regional Board issued its fourth term MS4 permit, Order No. R8-2009- 0030. This permit regulates stormwater discharge from municipal storm drain systems. The permit is issued to the County of Orange and the cities within the Santa Ana Region boundary.

The goal of the MS4 permit is to protect water quality by requiring the County and cities (collectively, the Co-Permittees) to implement a program to eliminate significant pollutant discharges from construction activities by requiring the implementation of appropriate Best BID DOCUMENT 1-23-2025
Orange County Stormwater Program
December 2012 35 Construction Runoff Guidance Manual
Management Practices (BMPs) on all construction sites. BMPs are activities, practices, procedures, or devices implemented to avoid, prevent or reduce pollution of the municipal storm drain system and receiving waters.

3. MS4 Permit for San Diego Region (R9-2009-0002 / CAS0108740) In 2009, the San Diego Regional Board issued its fourth term NPDES permit, Order No. R9- 2009-0002. This permit regulates stormwater discharge from municipal storm drain systems. The permits issued to the County of Orange and the cities within the San Diego Region Boundary.

The goal of the MS4 permit is to protect water quality by requiring the County and cities (collectively, the Co-Permittees) to implement a program to eliminate significant pollutant discharges from construction activities by requiring the implementation of appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) on all construction sites. BMPs are activities, practices, procedures, or devices implemented to avoid, prevent or reduce pollution of the municipal storm drain system and receiving waters.

4. WDRs for Discharge to Land (2003-0003-DWQ)
This permit, Order No. 2003-0003-DWQ, applies to projects that discharge to land where the discharge has a low threat to water quality. These are typically low volume discharges with minimal pollutant concentrations. The primary difference between this permit and the permits described in herein is the destination of the water. This permit regulates discharges to land, while the following two sections discuss discharges to storm drains or receiving waters. For instance, if a dewatering discharge will be piped to an infiltration basin during construction, this permit should be used.

5. De Minimus WDRs for Santa Ana Region (R8-2007-0041 / CAG918002 and R8- 2009-0003 / CAG998001)
There are two permits within the Santa Ana Region that regulate dewatering discharges to a storm drain or receiving water. Order No. R8-2007-0041, NPDES No. CAG918002, regulates dewatering discharges in the San Diego Creek / Newport Bay watershed. And, Order No. R8- 2009-0003, NPDES No. CAG998001, amended by R8-2012-0062, regulates dewatering discharges for the Santa Ana Region. Refer to the permit text for specific circumstances allowing projects to be covered under the region-wide permit even though it is located within the San Diego Creek / Newport Bay watershed.

Dischargers subject to the San Diego Creek / Newport Bay Permit (Order No. R8-2007-0041) formed a Working Group and funded the development of a Work Plan to develop a management plan for nitrate and selenium discharges to surface waters that result from groundwater-related inflows. If those entities that participate in the Working Group (refer to Order for enrollees list), can demonstrate that compliance with the numeric selenium effluent limitations identified in the Order is infeasible, the groundwater-related discharge is allowed provided that the Working Group implements the Work Plan in a timely manner and that the discharger fulfills its financial and participatory requirements established by the Group. For dischargers who are not participating in the Working Group and cannot comply with the numeric effluent limitations, the discharger must either not proceed with the planned discharge or must identify and participate in a program that assures that selenium discharges in excess of those allowed by the Order are offset on at least a one-to-one basis.

BID DOCUMENT 1-23-2025
Orange County Stormwater Program
December 2012 36 Construction Runoff Guidance Manual
To obtain coverage under either of these permits, the general guidelines below should be followed:

Existing Dischargers

1. Submit an updated Notice of Intent (NOI) to continue discharging; and

2. A copy of the current Monitoring and Reporting Program along with any proposed treatment modifications.

Additionally, Order No. R8-2007-0041 should be reviewed by all parties as there are different and/or additional stipulations that need to be met based on enrollment status in the Nitrogen and Selenium Management Program (NSMP).

New Dischargers
At least 45 days (180 days if applying under Order No. R8-2007-0041) before the start of a new discharge, the Discharger needs to submit an application for coverage and obtain a letter of authorization from the Executive Officer for the dewatering discharge. The application needs to include:

1. A Notice of Intent (NOI) to be covered under the Order.

2. A site characterization study that identifies the presence of contaminated groundwater onsite (constituents of concern listed with the Orders), its properties, and a threedimensional assessment of the extent of concentration of contaminants in the subsurface; which includes a description of the geologic and hydrologic factors that control the migration of the contaminants; and, if adjacent to a contaminated site, the Discharger has to evaluate the depth and flow rate of the extraction as well as the possibility of extracting the contaminated groundwater from the adjacent site.

It should be noted that coverage under Order No. R8-2007-0041 requires several extra steps and it is highly recommended to review those requirements within the Order. Some of those additional items are:

1. An evaluation of selenium and nitrogen concentrations and the feasibility of meeting the numeric effluent limitations specified in the Order. The conclusion of which has varying impacts on coverage as specified in the Order;

2. A fixed hardness value for sites polluted with metals needs to be submitted for approval by the Regional Executive Officer as outlined in the Order; and

3. A description of run-on, interception and diversion of runoff.

Additionally, Order No. R8-2007-0041 should be reviewed by all parties as there are different and/or additional stipulations that need to be met based on enrollment status in the NSMP.

6. Dewatering Permit Outside of San Diego Bay for San Diego Region (R9-2008- 0002 / CAG919002)
This permit, Order No. R9-2008-0002, applies to discharges of extracted groundwater to receiving waters or storm drains within the San Diego Regional Board jurisdiction (South of El Toro Road). To qualify for this permit, a laboratory analysis of the groundwater must show that the water quality is within the limits set by the permit. The permit requires sampling and analysis of dewatering discharges, and reporting to the Regional Board on a periodic basis.

7. Potable Water Discharges in Santa Ana Region (R8-2009-0003 / CAG998001) The permit identified in Section 2. 1 for de minimus discharges, Order No. 2009-0003, is also the permit that applies to discharges of potable water during construction. This may include discharges of hydrostatic test water for pipes or tanks.

8. Potable Water Discharges in San Diego Region (R9-2010-0003 / CAG679011) This permit, Order No. R9-2010-0003, regulates discharges of hydrostatic test water and/or potable water to storm drains or receiving waters in the San Diego Region, to all receiving waters except for San Diego Bay and its tributaries. Activities covered may include discharge from testing, repair and maintenance of pipelines, tanks and vessels dedicated to drinking water purveyance.

Appendix C: Erosion Control Best Management
Practices Field Evaluation – Summary
Background
The County of Orange conducted a field evaluation of five erosion control BMPs to evaluate their effectiveness in the field. A full copy of the Erosion Control Best Management Practices Field Evaluation (Study) may be found on the OC Watersheds website (http: / / www.ocwatersheds.com / documents / OCErosionControl_FINALReportJan07II.pdf), and a brief summary of the Study is provided here. The Study included development of a study plan, selection of an appropriate test site with soils and slopes commonly found in Orange County, selection of erosion controls for evaluation, study implementation, monitoring and maintenance of the test plots.

BMPs Selected
Four erosion control BMPs were selected for the Study:
§ UltraTack- UltraTack is a low molecular weight polyacrylamide product.

UltraTack is a spray on binder or tackifier, and is nontoxic to plant and animal life. UltraTack must be applied 24 hours prior to a storm event, and must be reapplied as needed, but generally every three months at a minimum. § EarthGuard – EarthGuard is a high molecular weight polyacrylamide product.

Earth Guard is a spray on binder and is nontoxic to plant and animal life. It is effective immediately, even when applied during a rain event, and may provide erosion control for up to three months.
§ EarthGuard Fiber Matrix (recycled paper mulch and wood fiber mulch) – This BMP combines Earth Guard and fiber to form a matrix that provides erosion control for a full rainy season. The binder plus fiber harden after application to form a crust that protects soil from raindrop impact. Two types of EarthGuard fiber mulch were used; one consisting of 100% recycled paper mulch, and the other wood fiber mulch.
§ Landscaping Mulch – The wood mulch tested for this study was a typical landscaping mulch made of shredded wood mulch and bark. Wood mulch helps reduce soil erosion by protecting bare soil from rainfall impact, increasing infiltration and reducing runoff.

Test Plots
A total of fifteen test plots were used in the Study, three for each of the BMPs selected. Each BMP was tested on a slope of 2% (flat slope), 5% (mild slope) and 50%. Each test plot was approximately 25 feet by 100 feet, with flow in the long direction.

BID DOCUMENT 1-23-2025
Orange County Stormwater Program
December 2012 39 Construction Runoff Guidance Manual
Test Period
Each of the test plots was observed over the course of the 2004-2005 wet season. Observations of the performance of each type of control were made before and after forecast events, as well as once per month. The condition of each test plot and the location and mechanism of any failures were documented, along with evidence of erosion and unraveling of erosion control materials.

Findings
The 2004-2005 water year was one of the wettest on record, with the Study site receiving over twice the normal amount of precipitation for the area. The relative performance of the selected erosion controls was evaluated qualitatively using the results of the visual monitoring. BMPs were considered to have “failed” when rilling or similar evidence of erosion became visually apparent. In general, the hydro mulches outperformed the binders; whereas landscape mulch performed best on all slopes. The binders and hydro mulches did not hinder growth of volunteer vegetation. Although seed mix was not added to the controls, new vegetation was observed on all test plots except for the landscape mulch.

Recommendations
The Study provides erosion control recommendations based on the findings of the Study (see Table C-1). These recommendations are based on appropriate slope, application rate, duration of effectiveness, application methods, inspection requirements and costs BID DOCUMENT 1-23-2025

1 Introduction and Overview

1.1 Introduction
This Construction Runoff Guidance Manual (Manual) is intended to enable applicants for building or grading permits to understand and comply with the regulatory requirements for creek, river, stream and coastal water protection during the construction phase of new development and significant redevelopment projects. Project owners and developers should be able to use this Manual as a guide to understand which permits and ordinances apply to their construction project. Contractors should be able to use this Manual as a guide to the Best Management Practices (BMPs) typically needed to be implemented at a construction site to ensure compliance with the Construction General Permit (CGP) and local ordinances.

1.2 Overview
The goal of this Manual is to provide useful, succinct information to enable contractors to control pollutant discharges from construction sites. Activities and materials used on a construction site may be a source of pollutants, including but not limited to sediment, concrete and grout; paints, lacquers, and primers; herbicides and pesticides; soaps and detergents; wood preservatives; equipment fuels, lubricants, coolants, and hydraulic fluids; and cleaning solvents. Water from construction sites can be a major transporter of these pollutants, which can leak from heavy equipment, be spilled, or can be eroded by rain from exposed soil or stockpiles. Once released, they can be transported into the receiving waters of the County of Orange (Orange County or “the County”), where they may enter aquatic food chains and cause fish toxicity problems, contribute to algal blooms, impair recreational uses, and degrade drinking water sources.

2 Regulatory Requirements

2.1 State and Regional Permit Requirements
Construction activity in Orange County is subject to regulation by both the Santa Ana and the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Boards or RWQCBs). The Regional Boards are responsible for implementing the Clean Water Act and the California Porter-Cologne Act. The boundary between the two Regional Board jurisdictions approximately follows El Toro Road in Lake Forest, separating the Santa Ana Region (Regional Board 8 or RB8) (north of El Toro Road) from the San Diego Region (Regional Board 9 or RB9) (south of El Toro Road). While some of the permits listed in Table 1 are issued statewide by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board or SWRCB) and implemented throughout the state by the Regional Boards, other permits, like dewatering or de minimus permits, are issued and implemented on a Region-by-Region basis. Additionally, the Regional Boards issue Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permits to the County and cities, which include additional requirements for managing construction sites.

December 2012 5 Construction Runoff Guidance Manual
In 2009, the SWRCB adopted Order No., 2009-0009-DWQ, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities, NPDES No. CAS000002 (Construction General Permit or CGP). The CGP requires that construction sites with one acre or greater of soil disturbance or less than one acre but part of a greater common plan of development apply for coverage for discharges under the CGP by submitting Permit Registration Documents (PRD) for coverage, developing a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), implementing BMPs to address construction site pollutants and complying with the monitoring requirements of the CGP.

The County’s and cities’ construction site requirements are coordinated with, but separate from the CGP. The CGP applies regardless of whether a construction site discharges directly to receiving waters or to a municipal storm drain system. Inspections of construction sites by the County / cities (for MS4 permit compliance) or by Regional Board staff (for CGP compliance) are separate and carry different enforcement actions / mechanisms.

More details regarding the CGP and other State and Regional permits can be found in Appendix A.

2.2 Local Agency Requirements
Each city, as well as the County of Orange, has a Municipal Code that establishes requirements for erosion and sediment control on grading projects. All project owners must meet the requirements of the applicable code prior to, during, and after construction. Additionally, through the MS4 Permits listed in Table 1 and described in Appendix B, each city or the County is responsible for periodic inspections of construction sites within its boundaries. (All project owners must allow city or County inspectors onto the project site for these inspections.)

2.2.1 Local Grading Code
The Grading Code sets the rules and regulations for grading operations including operations preparatory to grading on private property. In addition to other requirements, the Grading Code requires that a project owner, developer or contractor prepare erosion control plans (ECPs), obtain a grading permit, and implement and maintain erosion and sediment control BMPs. Refer to the appropriate city or County website and/or Public Works Department for the full text of the municipal grading code.

2.2.2 Local Water Quality Ordinance
The County and cities in Orange County have adopted Water Quality Ordinances for the purpose of improving water quality and compliance with NPDES permit requirements and for the control of urban pollutants. The Water Quality Ordinances are part of their municipal codes and are, in effect, laws that contractors are required to comply with. Non stormwater discharges to the municipal storm drain system are prohibited unless covered by a discharge exception. Prohibited non-stormwater discharges include wastewater from concrete truck washing, paint equipment cleaning, spill cleanup, etc. (See Table 3). Please refer to the appropriate city or County website and/or Public Works Department for the full text of the municipal water quality ordinance.

3 Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Best Management Practices (BMPs) collectively refer to a variety of pollution prevention controls implemented throughout the project site at various times of the project. BMPs discussed herein are specifically aimed to control pollution in stormwater runoff during the construction phase of the project. The major construction BMP categories can be broken down into · Erosion Control (EC)
· Sediment Control (SE)
· Wind Erosion Control (WE)
· Tracking Control (TC)
· Non-Stormwater Management (NS)
· Waste Management and Materials Pollution Control (WM) These BMPs will be discussed in detail throughout the remainder of this section. Permanent post-construction BMPs are not addressed in this document. Post construction BMP requirements are detailed in the Model Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) as required by the MS4 Permits of either the Santa Ana Region or San Diego Region.

3.1 BMP Overview Diagram
The BMPs that are commonly used on construction sites are shown in Figure 2.

December 2012 9 Construction Runoff Guidance Manual

3.2 Minimum Site BMP Requirements
The following requirements are for deployment of selected construction BMPs and apply yearround (not just during the rainy season) to all projects.

A. Pollution prevention where appropriate.

B. Development and implementation of a site specific run-off management plan.

C. Minimization of areas that are cleared and graded to only the portion of the site that is necessary for construction.

D. Minimization of exposure time of disturbed soil areas.

E. Minimization of grading during the wet season and correlation of grading with seasonal dry weather periods to the extent feasible.

F. Limitation of grading to a maximum disturbed area as determined by the County / city before either temporary or permanent erosion controls are implemented to prevent stormwater pollution. The County / city has the option of temporarily increasing the size of disturbed soil areas by a set amount beyond the maximum, if the individual site is in compliance with applicable stormwater regulations and the site has adequate control practices implemented to prevent stormwater pollution.

G. Temporary stabilization and reseeding of disturbed soil areas as rapidly as feasible.

H. Non-stormwater management measures to prevent illicit discharges and control stormwater pollution sources.

I. Erosion Control BMPs shall be implemented.

J. Wind erosion control BMPs (dust control) shall be implemented.

K. Sediment control BMPs shall be implemented at all appropriate locations along the site perimeter, at all operational storm drain inlets and at all non-active slopes.

L. Tracking control BMPs to control off-site sediment tracking shall be implemented and maintained.

M. Waste management and materials pollution control BMPs shall be implemented to prevent the contamination of stormwater by construction wastes and materials.

N. Non-stormwater BMPs shall be implemented to reduce or prevent the contamination of stormwater from construction activities.

O. Weather tracking: projects shall monitor the National Weather Service (www.weather.gov) probability of precipitation. When a rain event is predicted (forecast predicts a greater than 50% probability of precipitation), the project must be inspected and BMPs must be maintained or deployed as needed to protect the project from discharging pollutants. (CGP projects only)
P. BMP failures must be repaired or replaced with an acceptable alternate as soon as it is safe to do so. Repairs or replacements must result in an adequate BMP, or additional BMPs should be installed to provide adequate protection.

BID DOCUMENT 1-23-2025
Orange County Stormwater Program
December 2012 10 Construction Runoff Guidance Manual
Q. Active exposed areas: Sufficient materials needed to install standby erosion and sediment control BMPs necessary to protect all active exposed areas from erosion and to reduce or prevent sediment discharges shall be stored on site. The total active exposed area shall not exceed that which can be adequately protected by deploying standby erosion control and sediment control BMPs prior to a predicted rain event.

R. Inactive exposed areas: All exposed areas not being actively worked in shall be protected from erosion with temporary or permanent BMPs (erosion and sediment control). The ability to deploy standby BMP materials is not sufficient for these areas; erosion and sediment control BMPs must actually be deployed.

S. Completed areas: Areas that have already been protected from erosion using permanent erosion control BMPs (physical or vegetation) are not considered “exposed”.

Deployment of permanent erosion control BMPs should commence as soon as practical on completed areas.

T. Preservation of natural hydrologic features where feasible.

U. Preservation of riparian buffers and corridors where feasible.

V. Evaluation and maintenance of all BMPs, until removed.

W. Retention, reduction, and proper management of all stormwater pollutant discharges on site to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) standard.

3.3 CASQA BMP Handbook
The California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) has prepared a handbook providing details about all of the recommended BMPs. The current version of this handbook is the CASQA Best Management Practice Handbook, Construction, 2009 Edition. A membership to CASQA can be obtained at www.casqa.org. Access to the BMP Fact Sheets referenced in this section is included with the CASQA membership. The Handbook contains six major categories of BMP fact sheets with guidelines on how to select each BMP. The six categories include: Erosion Control (EC), Sediment Control (SE), Wind Erosion Control (WE), Tracking Control (TC), NonStormwater Management (NS), and Waste Management and Materials Pollution Control (WM).

These categories of BMPs and their applicability are discussed in the following sections.

3.4 BMP Directory
In order to meet the requirements of the Permits and Ordinances mentioned in Section 2, BMPs must be selected, installed, and maintained properly throughout the duration of construction projects. BMPs must be discussed with all project contractors, subcontractors, and any party involved, because education is the most important BMP.

3.4.1 Erosion Control (EC)
Erosion control BMPs focus on preventing soil from being eroded by stormwater and potentially discharged from the construction site. Erosion control is more effective than sediment control for reducing sediment discharge. However, a combination of both erosion control and sediment control is required to effectively reduce sediment discharge. This section highlights the most common erosion control BMPs for construction projects.

BID DOCUMENT 1-23-2025
Orange County Stormwater Program
December 2012 11 Construction Runoff Guidance Manual
Erosion prevention is to be used as the most important measure for keeping sediment on site during construction. Permanent revegetation or landscaping shall be done as early as feasible at a minimum.

Table 3: Physical / Vegetative Stabilization BMPs
Physical / Vegetative Stabilization:

Covering the soil with a protective layer that can help to hold soil in place and/or reduce the erosive impact of rain drops or runoff.

Type Description
Scheduling
Sequencing construction activities to reduce the amount of exposed soil during seasons of higher precipitation probability. All projects should consider scheduling activities to minimize the amount of disturbed area during seasons of higher precipitation probability.

Phasing can be used to maintain stabilized areas (vegetation or impervious cover) as much as possible during construction. Disturbed areas should be stabilized as soon as practical. Attempt to schedule grading outside of seasons of higher precipitation probability. Reference: CASQA EC-1, EC-2
Seeding
Applying seed to a surface with the intention of achieving vegetation which can effectively protect soils from erosion while reducing runoff by encouraging infiltration / transpiration.

Seeding is effective for temporary and permanent stabilization of slopes, stock piles, and other disturbed soils. Seeds can be combined with mulch and water then sprayed onto surfaces (also referred to as hydro seeding) for immediate erosion protection. Without combining or covering seeds with mulch seeds will be susceptible to erosion until vegetation has sufficiently established. Supplemental irrigation may be required to establish vegetation. Scarifying surfaces prior to seed application can increase its effectiveness. Reference: CASQA EC-4
Soil Binders
Spraying a liquid compound to disturbed soils to bind and stabilize the soil surface (forming a crust). This process reduces the potential for wind and water erosion.

Examples include: guar, psyllium, starch, gypsum, pitch and rosin emulsion, polymers, and acrylates. Soil binders are effective for temporary stabilization of slopes, stockpiles, and other disturbed areas. Soil binders need time to cure and should not be applied less than 24 hours before predicted precipitation. The specific soil binder selected depends on the type of soil. Soil binders must be non-toxic and environmentally benign. Soil binders will need to be reapplied as needed based on the specific soil binder and visual inspection. Soil binders are much less effective in areas that receive traffic. Reference:

CASQA EC-5
Mulching
Covering disturbed soils with a fibrous wood, straw, or similar material to protect the bare soil from rainfall impact erosion while reducing runoff by encouraging infiltration / evaporation. Mulching is effective for temporary stabilization of slopes, stock piles, and other disturbed soils. Mulch materials can be combined with water then sprayed onto surfaces (also referred to as hydraulic mulch) for increased wind erosion protection.

Typically, mulch must be reapplied every 6 to 12 months. Soil roughening prior to mulch application can increase its effectiveness. Reference: CASQA EC-3, EC-6, EC-8 Geotextiles
and Mats
Covering disturbed soils with a natural or synthetic blanket or mat. This process greatly reduces the potential for wind and water erosion. Some rolls and mats physically hold the soil in place. Example include: geotextiles, plastic covers, rolled erosion control blankets / mats, straw / mulch blanket, coconut fiber blanket, and plastic netting. Geotextiles and mats are effective for temporary stabilization of steep slopes with high erosion potential, stockpiles, and channels that will be vegetated. Geotextiles and mats are more expensive than other erosion control BMPs. Materials may need to be removed prior to final stabilization. Mats / blankets are most effective when in direct contact with the soil; do not roughen soil or leave significant rocks / roots. Mats / blankets typically require an anchoring mechanism to hold them in place. Mats / blankets should be laid parallel to the BID DOCUMENT 1-23-2025
Orange County Stormwater Program

Physical / Vegetative Stabilization:

Covering the soil with a protective layer that can help to hold soil in place and/or reduce the erosive impact of rain drops or runoff.

Type Description
direction of flow. Mats / blankets should allow water to flow on top of them and not below which would cause the soil to wash out. Reference: CASQA EC-7 NonVegetative
Stabilization
Covering disturbed soils with a non-vegetative material to protect the bare soil from rainfall impact erosion while reducing runoff by encouraging infiltration / evaporation.

Examples include: decomposed granite, gravel, and rock slope protection. Other nonvegetative stabilization is effective for temporary and permanent stabilization of areas with heavy vehicular or pedestrian traffic or areas where a vegetative cover is infeasible.

Other non-vegetative stabilization is intended to be used in combination with additional erosion control and sediment control BMPs. If used for permanent stabilization, periodic inspection and maintenance may be required. Material should be selected based on the slope and use of the area.

Table 4: Concentrated Flow Erosion Control BMPs
Concentrated Flow Erosion Control:

Reducing concentrated flow velocity or protecting concentrated flow paths to prevent erosion.

Type Description
Dikes,
Swales, and
Slope Drains
Grading and compacting soil or installing pipe to control / divert / direct runoff. Dikes, swales, and slope drains can be combined to safely convey runoff down a slope, direct runoff to a stabilized channel, reduce potential for flooding, direct runoff to sediment traps / basins. Dikes, swales, and pipes that are used to direct runoff must be properly sized based on the specific application. Typically, slope drains require energy dissipation. Monitor swales and dikes for erosion or accumulation of sediment or debris.

Swale and dike slopes should be 2:1 or less. Use vegetation, geotextiles, or mats to stabilize swales. Temporary devices must be removed. Reference: CASQA EC-9, EC-11 Energy
Dissipation
Placing rock, riprap, or similar material to reduce erosion from concentrated, high velocity flows. Energy dissipation is effective at pipe outlets, channel linings, and transitions from stabilized to un-stabilized conveyances. Line the area with filter fabric prior to placing rock or riprap. Accumulated sediment may be difficult to remove from energy dissipation area. For pipe outfalls the size of the energy dissipation area will increase with flow rate and/or pipe size. Temporary devices must be removed.

Reference: CASQA EC-10, EC-12
Soil
Roughening
Mechanically roughening soil (track walking or imprinting) to prepare soil for additional BMPs or create small terraces to break up sheet flow. Soil roughening can be applied to slopes, stockpiles, basins, and other disturbed soil areas. Soil roughening is intended to be used in combination with additional erosion control and sediment control BMPs. A common implementation method is to drive heavy equipment with its treads parallel to the contours of the slope. For long slopes additional terracing may be required.

3.4.2 Sediment Control (SE)
Sediment control BMPs focus on preventing eroded soil from being discharged from the construction site. The demand placed on sediment control BMPs is dependent upon the effectiveness of the erosion control BMPs. More robust erosion controls will reduce the need for sediment controls and vice versa. However, a combination of both erosion control and sediment control is required to effectively reduce sediment discharge. This section highlights the most common sediment control BMPs for construction projects.

At a minimum, sediment controls are to be used as a supplement to erosion prevention for keeping sediment on-site during construction, and slope stabilization must be used on all active slopes during rain events regardless of the season and on all inactive slopes during the rainy season and during rain events in the dry season.

Table 5: Perimeter / Linear Control BMPs
Perimeter / Linear Controls:

Establishing linear BMPs to reduce the potential for sediment discharge across a slope, at the project’s perimeter, or to Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) Type Description
Linear
Sediment
Controls
Installing sediment control BMPs along contours to reduce runoff velocity, remove sediment, and discourage rill erosion. Examples include: fiber rolls, sand / gravel bags, and straw bales. Linear sediment controls are effective parallel to contours on the face of slopes and at the top and toe of slopes.

Linear sediment controls are typically implemented temporarily until slope is stabilized. Straw bales must be anchored and should not be used on the face of slopes. Fiber rolls must be trenched and staked during installation. For Risk Level / LUP Type 2 and 3 projects, the CGP specifies minimum uninterrupted sheet flow lengths for slopes to be 20 feet for slopes under 25%, 15 feet for slopes 25-50%, and 10 feet for slopes over 50%. Reference: CASQA SE-5, SE6, SE-8, SE-9, SE-14 Perimeter
Controls
Installing a barrier to prevent sediment discharges by controlling run-on and run-off around the perimeter of the construction site or limits of grading.

Examples include: silt fence, fiber rolls, sand / gravel bags, and straw bales.

Perimeter controls are effective when implemented around the perimeter of the construction site or limits of grading. Perimeter controls are not effective when used in a concentrated flow path. Silt fence and fiber rolls require proper installation which includes trenching and staking. Typically, perimeter controls should be installed prior to grading and remain functional until final stabilization is achieved. Maintenance of perimeter controls must be performed as needed.

Perimeter controls are a minimum BMP requirement of the CGP. Reference:

Re: Summarized Results of Asphalt Concrete Pavement Coring to Determine Asphalt Concrete Pavement and Aggregate Base Thicknesses on Birch Street both Easterly and Westerly Traffic Directions, between Kraemer Blvd. and Valencia Ave., Brea, CA

HGEI Project No. 24-05-4860
Dear Mr. Kreuzer:

This report presents the summarized results of asphalt concrete pavement coring and presents the thickness of each structural section at each of the cored locations.

On November 27, 2024, nine cores were removed from the roadway which were patched upon the completion of our work. The main objective of our work was to record the thickness of any cement treated base (CTB) excavated from the core locations. A log of the thickness of asphalt concrete aggregate base and cement treated base is shown in Table 1.

Phenolphthalein solution was used to aide in the field to confirm the presence of cement along with the difficulty in excavation of the base material.

With the exception of location no. 3 all sections were measured and recorded on Table 1.

At core location no. 3 after the asphalt concrete pavement was removed free water was observed rising from the open graded gravel that was observed at the time of our work. This type of material is indicative of pipeline backfill and therefore no attempt to remove this gravel was performed due to the possibility of damaging a utility line.

We recommend that the City be notified of this condition so that the source of this water can be found and eliminated. If left unattended the saturation of the roadway subgrade may be of future concern.
