COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
May 28, 2024

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Southern California Gas Company Hydrostatic Testing Operation.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the presentation from Southern California Gas Company.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the presentation from Southern California Gas Company.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) is proposing to offer recycled water that would be from its hydrostatic testing operations of its natural gas facilities near Casitas Pass Road just north of Highway 101. Hydrostatic testing involves filling pipelines with water to ensure integrity and safety. The hydrostatic testing would produce water, and the water would be treated for reuse. For example, the treated water may be reused for irrigation and construction dust control purposes. SoCalGas’s hydrostatic testing water after treatment is permitted for discharge into the waters of the United States under the Statewide General Order for Discharges from Natural Gas Utility Construction, Operations and Maintenance Activities, Order No. 2017-0029 -DWQ, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System No. CAG670001 (NPDES Permit), as issued by the State Water Resources Control Board. The NPDES Permit also allows for the discharge of treated water for reuse, and this is the reason for SoCalGas offering this recycled water to the City.

In February and April 2024, staff and SoCalGas met in order to discuss the proposed hydrostatic testing activities, especially for staff to ascertain more information about the potential of City properties for the recycled water. Based on the correspondence as well as site visits with SoCalGas, staff concurs with the following City parks as potential discharge locations for the recycled water as irrigation water:

Potential Discharge Location Discharge Schedule
Carpinteria Community Farm (Avocado Orchard) July 2024
El Carro Park August 2024
Southern California Gas Company Hydrostatic Testing Operation May 28, 2024

SoCalGas estimates 421,000 gallons (approximately 563 hundred-cubic feet) as the total amount of recycled water. Though the aforementioned City parks are identified as initial potential discharge locations, the recycled water may potentially be used as irrigation water for other City parks as well as City right-of-way (e.g. landscape medians, planters, and street trees) and the grounds of City properties (e.g. front yard landscape).

Staff estimates a potential, irrigation water consumption total savings of $17,200 should the entire said recycled water volume be used in said City parks alone. For comparison purposes, the total irrigation water consumption cost from said City parks is projected to be approximately $37,000 in Fiscal Year 2023-24.

The recycled water is proposed to be stored in temporary, portable aboveground water tanks or containers at said discharge locations and parked within City property and/or City right-of-way. SoCalGas submitted an Engineering Permit Application, as provided in Attachment A, that provides details of the proposed scope of work and work locations as well as a copy of a Best Management Practices and Control Strategy Plan.

SoCalGas’s Best Management Practices and Control Strategy Plan incorporates water quality best management practices that must meet the following objectives pursuant to the NPDES Permit:

1. Prevent toxicity to aquatic life from chlorine and other constituents in the discharge.

2. Prevent riparian erosion and hydromodification by implementing flow dissipation, erosion control, and hydromodification prevention measures where needed.

3. Minimize sediment discharge, turbidity, trash, and color impacts.

4. Prevent additional chemicals or other substances from being introduced into the discharge after treatment and/or control.

5. Prevent the addition of pollutants from non-permitted process waters or chemical spills.

The Best Management Practices and Control Strategy Plan is required to be developed and implemented in accordance with the NPDES Permit.

All expenses (labor, materials, and equipment) under the Engineering Permit including the water treatment and delivery as well as the temporary, portable aboveground water storage tanks or containers would be borne by SoCalGas. The irrigation would be controlled by the City albeit manual means and methods such as with the Public Works Department water trailer.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to receive and file the presentation from SoCalGas.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation may be found consistent with following policies of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan:

INSURANCE SPECIFICATIONS FOR ENGINEERING PERMIT
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Contractor shall maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor shall use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, it shall be amended to do so. Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this permit and which is applicable to a given loss, shall be available to City.

Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:

1. Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office “Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits shall be no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $5,000,000 general aggregate.

Contractor’s policy shall contain no endorsements limiting coverage beyond the basic policy coverage grant for any of the following:
• Explosion, collapse or underground hazard (XCU)
• Products and completed operations
• Pollution liability
• Contractual liability
Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of contractors, subcontractors or others involved in the Project. Policy shall be endorsed to provide a separate limit applicable to this project.

2. Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident for all covered losses.

3. Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92 including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits shall be no less than $1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor’s employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.

4. Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of Contractor, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate.

5. Course of Construction insurance shall provide “all risk” coverage for the completed value of the Project. Policies shall contain the following provisions: (1) City shall be named as loss payee; and (2) the insurer shall waive all rights of recovery against the City. This insurance shall include coverage, but not by way of limitation, for all damage or loss to the Work and to appurtenances, to materials and equipment to be used on the Project while the same are in transit, stored on or off the Project site, to construction plant and temporary structures. The policy shall provide the Owner the right to utilize the facilities without termination of the policy until acceptance of the Project.

Such insurance may have a deductible clause not to exceed the below listed limits:
• Coverage for “Acts of God” in excess of five percent (5%) of Contract amount as defined in Sections 4150 and 4151 of the Government Code is subject to separate coverage if Bid Items for Act of God insurance are awarded. • Flood and earthquake deductible shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the value at risk at the time of risk. • All other perils: $5,000.

Contractor and City agree as follows:

PERMIT NO. ____________
Last Edited: March 2022 Page 7 of 8

1. Contractor agrees to endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its elected officials, employees, agents, consultants and volunteers using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition date of 1985. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, subcontractors, and any one else involved in any way with the Project contemplated by this Permit to comply with these provisions.

2. Any waiver of subrogation express or implied on the part of City to any party involved in this Permit, the Contract Documents or related documents applies only to the extent of insurance proceeds actually paid. City, having required that it be named as an additional insured to all insurance coverage required herein, expressly retains the right to subrogate against any parts for sums not paid by insurance. For its part, Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors, subcontractors or others involved in any way with the project(s) contemplated by this Permit, to do likewise.

3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Contractor or required of others by Contractor pursuant to this Permit shall be endorsed to delete the subrogation condition as to City, or to specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance herein to waive subrogation prior to a loss. This endorsement shall be obtained regardless of existing policy wording that may appear to allow such waivers.

4. Insurance provided pursuant to these requirements is not intended by any party to be limited to providing coverage for the vicarious liability of City, or to the supervisory role, if any, of City. All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this or any other agreement (express or implied) in any way relating to City is intended to apply to the full extent of the policies involved. Nothing referred to here or contained in any agreement involving City in relation to the Project contemplated by this Permit is intended to be construed to limit the application of insurance coverage in any way.

5. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of this kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.

6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) which may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written consent.

7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of binders of coverage, or endorsements, or certificates of insurance, unless waived by the City, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Permit. The Contractor shall, upon demand of the City, deliver to the City certified copies of such policy or policies of insurance and the receipts for payment of premiums. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option.

8. Contractor agrees to endorse, and to require others to endorse, the insurance provided pursuant to these requirements, to require 30 days notice to City and the appropriate tender prior to cancellation of such liability coverage and notice of any material alteration, non-renewal or reduction in coverage limits of any such coverage, and to require contractors, subcontractors and any other party in any way involved with the project contemplated by this Permit to do likewise.

9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Permit that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City.

10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the Project by contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and other engaged in the Project shall be submitted to the City for review.

11. Contractor agrees that all layers of third party liability coverage required herein, primary, umbrella and excess, shall have the same starting and expiration date. Contractor agrees further that all other third party coverages required herein shall likewise have concurrent starting and ending dates.

12. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it shall not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this Permit to self-insure its obligations to City. If contractor’s existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or selfinsured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-inured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.

PERMIT NO. ____________
Last Edited: March 2022 Page 8 of 8

13. City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.

14. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, all contracts pertaining to the Project will be deemed to be executed when finalized and any activity commences in furtherance of performance under this Permit.

15. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of noncompliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.

16. Contractor shall renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this Permit. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. The insurance shall include but not be limited to products and completed operations and discontinued operations, where applicable. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.

17. Contractor agrees to waive its statutory immunity under any workers’ compensation statute or similar statute, in relation to the City, and to require all subcontractors and any other person or entity involved in the Project contemplated by this Permit to do likewise.

18. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations on other requirements or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be all-inclusive.

19. Any provision in any of the construction documents dealing with the insurance coverage provided pursuant to these requirements, is subordinate to and superseded by the requirements contained herein. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Permit and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.

20. All liability coverage provided according to these requirements must be endorsed to provide a separate aggregate limit for the Project that is the subject of this Permit and evidencing products and completed operations coverage for not less than two (2) years after issuance of a final certificate of occupancy by all appropriate government agencies or acceptance of the completed work by City.

21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the Project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor for the cost additional insurance coverage required by this Permit. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.

22. Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Best rating of A- or better and a minimum financial size of VII.

23. Any policy of insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be an “occurrences” policy.

24. The above insurance coverage shall not limit the indemnification obligations of Contractor as provided in the Contract Documents and the failure to maintain the required coverages shall constitute a material breach of this Permit.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 1 1.0Applicability
Southern California Gas Company (SCG) has prepared this Best Management Practices and Control Strategy Plan (BMP Plan) for discharges of wastewater performed under SCG’s authorization under State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Statewide General Order for Discharges from Natural Gas Utility Construction, Operations and Maintenance Activities, Order No. 2017-0029 -DWQ, NPDES No.

CAG670001 (Permit).

SCG submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) on May 15, 2018 and received a Notice of Applicability (NOA) on July 11, 2018 authorizing coverage under the Permit. The SWRCB assigned SCG with Waste Discharge Identification Number (WDID) NGU003.

This Plan addresses planned, unplanned and emergency discharges from natural gas utility construction projects, as described in the Permit, to land, to waters of the United States, and to non-federal surface waters, where the concentrations of pollutants in the effluent have a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality criteria or objectives.

Direct discharge to groundwater (e.g., injection wells and well cellars) and vault dewatering, is not authorized by the Permit nor addressed in this Plan. For procedures for vault dewatering see Gas Standard 104.077.

2.0Performance Measures and Objectives
This Plan was developed in accordance with section IX.A.5 of the Permit and has the following objectives:
• Prevent toxicity to aquatic life from chlorine and other constituents in the discharge; • Prevent riparian erosion and hydromodification by implementing flow dissipation, erosion control, and hydromodification-prevention measures where needed; • Minimize sediment discharge, turbidity, trash, and color impacts; • Prevent additional chemicals or other substances from being introduced into the discharge after treatment and/or control; and
• Prevent the addition of pollutants from non-permitted process waters or chemical spills.

3.0Plan Maintenance and Availability
This BMP Plan will be reviewed and updated annually, as outlined in section IX.A.5 of the Permit.

Appendix 1 presents the Plan revision history including dates of annual reviews and summary of corresponding Plan revisions.

SCG will maintain an electronic or hardcopy of the most-updated Plan at the facility project site. SCG will make this BMP Plan available to SWRCB or Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) staff during an inspection or upon request.

4.0Overview of Discharges
The Permit authorizes planned, emergency, and unplanned discharges from the following activities:
• Hydrostatic testing of existing natural gas facilities; • Hydrostatic testing of new natural gas facilities; and SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 2 • Site dewatering related to excavation, construction, testing, maintenance and/or repair of natural gas facilities.

The Permit defines planned, emergency, and unplanned discharges as follows:
• Planned Discharges: Discharges due to scheduled dewatering and hydrostatic testing of new and/or existing natural gas facilities related to excavation, construction, testing, maintenance, operation and/or repair;
• Emergency Discharges: Discharges due to a sudden, unexpected occurrence involving a clear and imminent danger, demanding immediate action to prevent or mitigate loss of, or damage to, life, health, property, or essential public services, including the provision of natural gas supplies; and
• Unplanned Discharges: Discharges due to dewatering resulting from water pipe ruptures, groundwater seepage, collection of rain water, incidental storm water inflow, local run-on, or urgent operations, maintenance and/or repair activities.

See section 9 of this BMP Plan for more information regarding emergency and unplanned discharges.

4.1 Discharge Management Methods
Discharge management methods allowed by the Permit include the following:
• Discharge to land, including beneficial reuse (e.g., dust control and compaction); and • Discharge to surface water, including both waters of the United States and non-federal surface waters.

4.2 State Water Board Recommendations
The SWRCB encourages SCG to prioritize discharges to land over discharges to surface waters to the extent practicable based on project conditions. Additionally, for projects where land discharge is a feasible option, a designated responsible person at SCG will evaluate the use of recycled water during hydrostatic testing of new or existing pipe, to the extent practicable, based on supply availability and access and suitability for its intended use.

5.0Discharge Planning
Discharge planning is coordinated by the Project Manager (PM). The PM works with the Water Quality Subject Matter Expert (Water Quality SME), Cultural Resource SME, Field Environmental Representative (FER), construction contractor, and other designated responsible persons to complete the following:
• Establish project water management strategy, including but not limited to the following:
o Identify data needed to implement the strategy; and
o Identify and coordinate resources needed to implement the strategy. • Characterize discharge quantity and quality, coordinate water treatment requirements; and • Prepare and submit Pre-Discharge Notifications to the appropriate RWQCB, Tribal Entities, and municipal separate sewer and storm system (MS4) owner or operator when required by the Permit.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 3 5.1 Project Water Management Strategy,Data, and Resource Needs The SCG team listed above will establish a water management strategy and identify the data and resources needed to support the discharge strategy. Project plans are developed that identify the scope and extent of the project and serve as the basis for identifying water management and discharge requirements. Data and resource needs addressed in the water management strategy are identified below.

Discharge Options for Dewatering and Hydrostatic Test Water Discharge options for dewatering and hydrostatic test are as follows:
• Beneficial reuse- Potential beneficial reuse options include, but are not limited to, dust suppression and backfill compaction;
• Discharge to land;
• Discharge to surface waters; and
• If the water does not meet Permit conditions, it will be transported to an approved disposal facility or appropriately permitted commercial treatment facility.

Hydrostatic Testing Water Source
Potential water sources are located and identified. If non-potable water is used for hydrostatic testing, it must meet SCG company requirements as identified in Gas Standard 106.0232, Field Sampling and Analysis of Liquids and Solids/Sludge, Section 5.5.

If recycled water is sampled and meets all company requirements, it may be used provided the project location is within the recycled water supplier’s designated use area. The use of recycled water should also be covered under the supplier’s recycled water engineering report. If recycled water will be used, SCG’s designated responsible person will work with the supplier to identify and comply with recycled water use requirements in Title 22.

Recycled water discharged to land must comply with the appropriate setback distances listed in section IX.G of the Permit.

Onsite Water Management
When water must be kept onsite temporarily, before final disposal, an adequate staging area must be secured in order to accommodate water containment and treatment systems, if needed. A sufficient number of holding tanks must be used in order to segregate water and other liquids from each stage of the hydrostatic test or dewatering operation. The PM shall work with project team to determine the total number of holding tanks required for fill/dewatering, cleaning slug, and treated water to evaluate whether there is sufficient room onsite to accommodate this storage volume. If space is not available onsite, the PM will locate excess storage capacity offsite and truck or hard-pipe the test water to the discharge location.

Biological Resources
For direct discharges to surface waters and land, if necessary, input from a qualified biologist1 will confirm that the proposed discharge location is not a wetland or vernal pool. Discharges to federal and non-federal wetlands and/or vernal pools are prohibited by the Permit. The Permit defines wetlands and vernal pools as follows:

1 A qualified biologist is defined in the Permit as one that based upon academic training, experience, and knowledge can provide an evaluation of the issue being considered. Qualified biologists should not work outside their particular field of expertise.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 4 • “An area is a wetland if, under normal circumstances, (1) the area has continuous or recurrent saturation of the upper substrate caused by groundwater or shallow surface water or both; (2) the duration of such saturation is sufficient to cause anaerobic conditions in the upper substrate; and (3) the area either lacks vegetation or the vegetation is dominated by hydrophytes.”
• Vernal pools are “Seasonal depressional wetlands that occur in Mediterranean climate conditions. They are covered by shallow water for variable periods from winter to spring, but may be completely dry for most of the summer and fall.” If discharges are to occur in sensitive areas and the discharge will result in saturated surface soils or otherwise impact species that reside in subterranean burrows, an environmental review will be conducted before the discharge is initiated. See section 6.2.3 of this BMP Plan for more information.

Cultural Resources
SCG performs an environmental review as part of project planning and includes potential for cultural resource impacts. As part of the environmental review, SCG Cultural Resource SME will identify the project locations and discharges, if any, that are subject to the 30-day Notifications to Tribal Entities, whom elected to opt in to the State Water Board Native American Tribe Pre-Discharge Notification List, as specified in the Permit.

Hydrogeological Considerations Near Hazardous Waste Release Sites When groundwater dewatering will occur, SCG will conduct an environmental project review to identify the presence of any nearby hazardous materials sites. If groundwater dewatering will occur within 250 feet of a hazardous material release site, or a chemical plume2 emanating from a hazardous material release site; a hydrogeologic evaluation will be conducted to determine if the dewatering activities will significantly affect conditions at the release site. These significant effects include: causing loss of hydraulic control of a plume under remediation, lowering the groundwater table when floating nonaqueous phase liquid (e.g., gasoline) is present, or migration of an existing plume. SCG will make the determination of the presence of hazardous material release sites using the SWRCB’s GeoTracker system, available at: geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov.

When a hydrogeologic evaluation is required, consultation with the SWRCB and/or RWQCB is required.

Additional analysis of dewatering activities, testing, and treatment of extracted groundwater may be required.

Dewatering an excavation to remove storm water that has flowed into the excavation via the surface, or to remove water that resulted from a broken pipe (potable water, sewage, recycled water, or storm drain) is exempt from the consultation with the SWRCB and/or RWQCB consultation requirement, described above.

5.2 Characterize Discharge Quantity and Quality
Groundwater Dewatering Operations
To determine if groundwater dewatering will be likely, SCG will obtain historical groundwater quality, depth, and yield information from previous SCG projects and/or from publicly available data such as the Department of Water Resources’ Water Data Library, if available.

2 The Permit describes a hazardous waste release site as the site and associated chemical plume. The plume is defined by the areal extent of groundwater containing the hazardous material (or a daughter product) at a concentration above the maximum contaminant level or remedial cleanup concentration established by a regulatory agency, whichever is lower.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 5 When the height of the water table indicates dewatering is anticipated during a construction project, a designated SCG person will summarize available groundwater quality data and collect additional data, if needed, to determine water quality. Based on available historical information and the project water management strategy, SCG may perform pre-construction groundwater sampling (e.g., during a potholing event or geotechnical investigations, if necessary. In addition, groundwater depth measurements and pump testing may be conducted to determine groundwater extraction flow rates associated with the proposed dewatering approaches.

Hydrostatic Testing Operations
As part of hydrostatic testing planning, a designated person at SCG will estimate the quantity and quality of the discharge water. This assessment may include source water sampling and the condition of test pipe segment.

If it is determined during the assessments described above that the discharge water is unlikely to meet effluent limitations, cost effective treatment options will be explored (e.g., series of bag filters, granulated activated carbon [GAC], clay filtration). If effluent limitations cannot be met through cost effective treatment options, the water will be transported to an approved wastewater treatment facility for final disposal.

5.3 Pre-Discharge Notifications
The Project Manager (PM) or other designated responsible person will prepare the Discharge Reporting Form in Appendix 2 for all planned discharges under the Permit. Once the form is completed it will be submitted to the Water Quality SME at [email protected].

Based on pre-discharge planning, data gathering, and the Discharge Reporting Form, a SCG Water Quality SME, Cultural Resource SME, or other designated responsible person will prepare and submit a 30-day Notification to Tribal Entities, when required, and a 7-business day notification to the appropriate RWQCB, SWRCB, and MS4 owner or operator, if applicable. A project with multiple hydrostatic tests using the same source water or dewatering discharges, or both, may be covered under a single notification.

The Pre-Discharge Notification to the RWQCB, SWRCB, and MS4 owner or operator will consist of:
• Attachment C of the Permit, the Pre-Discharge Notification Form. • A map (local and/or regional) showing project location and proposed discharge locations; and • Any additional permitting or documentation required by the MS4, if applicable.

When a Pre-Discharge Notification to Tribal Entities’ representative is required, it will consist of:
• A general description and map of the location of pipeline segments to be tested, and points of discharge, as available;
• Contact information for SCG Cultural Resource SME;
• Estimated date(s) discharge(s) are proposed to occur; and • As applicable, site-specific cultural resource avoidance and minimization measures (AMMs), including BMPs, to be implemented at the discharge site.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 6 6.0Best Management Practices
BMPs are defined in the Permit as follows:

Methods, measures, or practices designed and selected to reduce or eliminate the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States, non-federal surface water, or groundwater. Best Management Practices include structural and non-structural controls, and operations and maintenance procedures which can be implemented prior, during, and/or after discharge producing activities.

SCG has developed a Best Management Practice Manual for Water Quality and Storm Water Management (SCG BMP Manual) for all projects throughout SCG service territory. BMPs in the SCG BMP Manual were determined to be applicable to natural gas utility projects. BMPs include sediment controls, waste management and material controls, non-storm water discharge controls, and soil erosion controls.

6.1 Generally Applicable Best Management Practices
SCG implements applicable BMPs at its construction projects throughout its service area. For projects disturbing more than 1 acre and that are not otherwise exempt from the California Stormwater Construction General Permit (CGP) NPDES No. CAS000002, SCG prepares and trains construction crews on a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that specifies construction project BMPs. For projects that disturb 1 acre or less, or that are otherwise exempt from the CGP, SCG ensures all construction crews and contactors implement the SCG BMP Manual to ensure protection of water quality.

The SCG BMP Manual outlines BMPs to be used during construction activities in the follow categories:
• Sediment Controls;
• Waste Management and Material Controls;
• Non-Storm Water Discharge Controls; and
• Soil Erosion Controls.

SWPPPs, when applicable, are available onsite during active construction, including during water management and discharge. The SCG BMP Manual is made available to all employees and contractors, should it need to be referenced during active construction.

6.2 Best Management Practices Applicable to Water Storage, Treatment, and Discharge
Many of the BMPs contained within the SCG BMP Manual are applicable to water storage, treatment, and discharge activities. The BMPs in this section are additional BMPs specific to water storage, treatment, and discharge.

Training
Training for construction crews will be conducted at projects, to ensure all compliance with conditions in the Permit.

Spill Prevention
Spill prevention measures are required for management of water prior to final disposal. These measures may include, but are not limited to, the following:

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 7 • Providing site security to prevent unauthorized discharge from storage tanks. Site security may include, but is not limited to, locking out tank discharge valves, locating tanks within a perimeter security fence, and/or onsite security personnel;
• Ensuring that all storage container side hatches and connections are closed prior to adding liquid to a tank;
• Positioning a spotter at the top hatch in verbal communication with vacuum truck transfer pump operator during tank filling to prevent tank overfills; • Covering storm drain inlets that have the potential to be in the path of a spill, with appropriate BMPs from the SCG BMP Manual;
• Use of polyethylene film (or equivalent material) containment to protect soil from blowdown and potential spills resulting from vacuum truck operations at test heads; and • Use of welded water conveyance pipe or performing daily inspections at pipe connections to confirm the absence of leaks.

Segregation of Test Water, Groundwater, and Process Solutions SCG may implement the following BMPs, or equivalent, to prevent cross-contamination of process solutions, liquid wastes, source water, groundwater, untreated test water, and treated test water and groundwater:
• Sufficient dedicated tank capacity is provided for process solutions, liquid wastes, source water, groundwater, untreated test water, and treated test water and groundwater; • Tanks are required to be mobilized to the site in a clean condition and are inspected visually prior to filling; and
• Tanks may be labeled with contents at the time they begin to be filled.

Land Discharge Best Management Practices
The following BMPs apply to discharging to land:
• Land discharge areas are visually monitored and are adjusted, as needed, to avoid ponding, offsite or surface water discharges, and nuisance conditions; • Spray irrigation of discharges is not allowed when wind speeds (including gusts) exceed 30 miles per hour based on wind speed information at a nearby government weather station; and • If discharges are to occur in sensitive areas and the discharge will result in saturated surface soils or otherwise impact species that reside in subterranean burrows, an environmental review will be conducted before the discharge is initiated. Environmental review involves an assessment of existing conditions and may include a query of species accounts using published literature and data provided by the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB), field surveys, field evaluations, and biological resource monitoring. If there is the potential to have a substantial adverse effect on sensitive species identified as a threatened, endangered, candidate, or special status species identified in regional plans, policies, or regulation, appropriate avoidance and minimization measures will be applied to avoid or minimize impacts where possible. When significant unavoidable impacts to state or federally listed species may occur (e.g. take of listed species), work will begin only after the appropriate state and/or federal permits are secured.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 8 Best Management Practices for Discharges to Percolation, Infiltration, or Evaporation Ponds
The following BMPs apply to discharges to unlined pond systems designed to collect discharges for percolation, evaporation, or subsequent land application to avoid discharge to surface waters:
• Pond discharge areas will be visually monitored and are adjusted, as needed, to avoid offsite or surface water discharges and nuisance conditions;
• SCG will minimize/mitigate vector and mosquito breeding by minimizing weeds and algae and using erosion control to avoid the creation of small coves from discharge flows; and • Prior to discharge, SCG will confirm that the pond(s) have sufficient capacity to accommodate the discharge in addition to other planned inflows, design seasonal precipitation (25-year return period month values for the active project months), and wind-driven waves, such that a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard can be maintained at all times in all pond(s).

Prevention of Erosion and Hydromodification from Surface Water Discharges SCG’s BMPs to prevent erosion and hydromodification associated with surface water discharge include, but are not limited, the following approaches:
• Using appropriate flow rates and tank storage;
• Discharging to manufactured structures or existing surface water sections designed as points of discharge such as storm drains, culverts, or existing rip-rap areas; and • Where manufactured structures are unavailable, using diffusers to minimize discharge velocities.

Cultural Resource Avoidance and Minimization Measures
As required by the Permit, if a discharge is to be located within a Tribal Entity’s affiliated lands, SCG Water Quality SME, Cultural Resource SME, or other designated person will send the Tribal Entity a notification a minimum of 30 calendar days prior to project initiation, if the Tribal Entity elected to opt in to receive notification. The notification will include information specified in Section II.C.f of the Permit and cultural AMMs to be employed. Potential AMMs are summarized in Table 6-1.

Table 6-1. Cultural Resource Avoidance and Minimization Measures Risk Condition Risk Response May Include
Unanticipated cultural resource
discovery
In the event that a cultural resource is encountered, all earthmoving activity within and around the immediate discovery area shall be diverted until a qualified archaeologist can assess the nature and significance of the find.

Unanticipated human remains
discovered
In the event that human remains are discovered, per State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, further disturbances and activities shall cease in any area or nearby area suspected to overlie remains, and the County Coroner shall be contacted. Pursuant to California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 5097.98, if the remains are thought to be Native American, the Coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission, which will then notify the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The SCG Cultural Resource specialist will be contacted so they may work with the MLD on the respectful treatment and disposition of the remains. Further provisions of California PRC 5097.98 are to be followed as applicable.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 9 Confidentiality of Cultural Resource Information
Any records associated with Native American tribal consultations and tribal cultural resources are subject to the confidentiality provisions consistent with Public Resource Code § 21082.3(c).

7.0Land Discharge Control Strategy

7.1 Effluent Limits and Narrative Standards
Section VII of the Permit specifies numerical effluent limitations for all planned discharges to land:
• Dissolved oxygen in land discharges is limited to 1.0 milligrams per liter (mg/L) or greater; and • Discharges of existing pipe hydrostatic test water are subject to a limit on the maximum concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) of 0.5 micrograms per liter (µg/L).

In addition, Section VIII.C of the Permit specifies where receiving water bodies have the potential of reaching groundwater limitations for those discharges to land authorized under the Permit, they shall not cause or contribute to the exceedance of a water quality objective in the applicable RWQCB Basin Plan.

Section IX.E of the Permit specifies that adequate acreage must be made available to apply discharge at a rate that will not create nuisance conditions. Land application area monitoring shall take place weekly and report any vector generation, saturated soil conditions, odors, or runoff conditions. Additionally, separate phase product monitoring shall take place continuously. If present, oil, including oil sheen, must be separated from the effluent.

Compliance with these numeric and narrative effluent limits and receiving water objectives will be achieved through the treatment controls described in this section and by the BMPs described in Section 6 of this BMP Plan.

If the discharge does not meet all effluent limitations, cost effective treatment options will be explored (e.g. series of bag filters, granulated activated carbon (GAC), and clay filtration). If effluent limitations will not be able to be met through cost effective treatment options, the water will be transported to an approved wastewater treatment facility for final disposal.

1 Land application area monitoring shall report any vector generation, saturated soil conditions, odors, or runoff conditions.
2 PCBs monitoring is not required when new pipe is being installed. 3 Freeboard shall be measured from the pond water surface to the lowest point of overflow for monitoring of all pond systems.
4Any separate phase products collected (e.g., gas condensate prior to the test initiation, or oil or oil sheen removed from pipeline facilities and/or hydrostatic test wastewater) shall be reported.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 10 7.2 Dewatering Discharge Control Strategy
Site dewatering discharges related to excavation, construction, testing, maintenance and/or repair of natural gas facilities can be from a variety of water sources and as a result, water quality and pollutants present in the water will vary. Dewatering discharges will be managed in accordance with Gas Standard 104.0226, Excavation Dewatering Management.

Water will be pumped in to holding tanks and held prior to discharge. To comply with the dissolved oxygen effluent limit for land discharges, SCG will monitor the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water in holding tanks following dewatering. If needed, the water will be aerated to increase dissolved oxygen levels. Once it is confirmed that the water meets all effluent limitations as prescribed in the Permit, the water will be discharged to land.

While not expected, if there is a likelihood for pollutant(s) to be present above RWQCB Basin Plan objectives, the test water will be sampled and appropriate cost-effective treatment will be performed, prior to discharge, if necessary, to ensure compliance.

7.3 New PipeHydrostatic TestWater Control Strategy
SCG uses potable or non-potable water that meets the company standard as identified in Section 5.1.2 of this BMP Plan for hydrostatic testing of new pipe segments and components, and implements the BMPs described in Section 6 of this BMP Plan.

To comply with the dissolved oxygen effluent limit for land discharges, a designated responsible person will monitor the dissolved oxygen concentration in hydrostatic test water and the water in holding tanks following test completion. If needed, the water will be aerated to increase dissolved oxygen levels.

Based on the use of water that meets the company standard and testing of new pipe, it is not anticipated that contaminates will exceed Basin Plan objectives. If there is a likelihood for pollutant(s) to be present above RWQCB Basin Plan objectives, the water will be sampled and appropriate costeffective treatment will be performed, prior to discharge, if necessary, to ensure compliance.

7.4 Existing Pipe Hydrostatic TestWater Control Strategy Existing Pipe Hydrostatic Test Water Discharge Characteristics Existing pipe that will be hydrostatically tested may contain the following contaminants:
• Sediments from historical pipeline deposits;
• Insoluble iron and manganese (rust) from pipeline carbon steel; • Low concentrations of soluble metals likely from historical pipeline deposits; and • Soluble organic compounds from residual pipeline condensates.

Pipeline Segment Rinsing
An element of SCG’s control strategy for land discharge of existing pipe hydrostatic test water is to rinse the pipeline segments prior to hydrostatic testing. Rinsing (known as the cleaning slug) may include the removal of condensates at known drip legs or known low points. This is done as a precautionary step to reduce the volume of potential contaminants in the post-test discharge water. The cleaning slug is purged and placed into a vacuum truck or holding tank. Samples may be collected for the purposes of waste characterization and waste acceptance, and disposal of the cleaning slug will occur offsite at an approved commercial waste facility in accordance with federal, state, and local requirements.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 11 Control Strategy for Pollutants
Table 7-2. Control Strategy for Pollutants
Pollutant Control Strategy
Sediment Controls
Removal of minor sediment quantities resulting from insoluble iron, manganese, and residual pipeline scale particulates mobilized by hydrostatic test water can be readily achieved with tank settling followed by a combination of bag and cartridge filtration.

Soluble Organic Pollutant Controls
Potential soluble organic pollutants in existing pipeline hydrostatic test water include trihalomethanes from potable water and hydrocarbons from pipeline condensate residual material. SCG will evaluate the need for treatment to meet effluent limits and will implement an appropriate treatment technology, such as GAC.

Soluble Inorganic Pollutant Controls
Provided that company standard source water is used and the pipeline segment is rinsed, soluble inorganic pollutants are not expected to be present in concentrations exceeding basin plan groundwater objectives.

Dissolved Oxygen Controls
SCG will sample water prior to discharge to confirm that the discharge will meet the dissolved oxygen effluent limit. A hand-held field meter that uses a U.S EPA-approved algorithm/method and is calibrated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may be used.

Separate Phase Products
SCG will monitor discharges for separate phase products and their associated sheen. If present, oil, including oil sheen, will be separated from the effluent. These practices ensure that there will be no separate phase products in the discharge.

If PCBs are present in the existing pipeline, they would be expected to be adsorbed in to the oily separate phase products. PCB samples are taken prior to discharge to ensure the concertation of PCBs meets effluent limitations.

7.5 Additional Control Provisions
Provisions for Water Treatment Service Contractors
If water treatment is required to meet effluent limitations, SCG will use qualified contractors to perform water treatment services. These contractors provide staff, with appropriate training, to operate the water treatment equipment.

Indicators of Noncompliance
If during a planned discharge, the effluent shows an indication of noncompliance (an unusual color or smell present or observation of a sheen), if practical, and it is safe to do so the discharge shall be stopped immediately. If at this time it is not possible to stop the discharge, the discharge is now an emergency, see section 9.2 of this BMP Plan for procedures.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 12 8.0Surface Water Discharge Control Strategy

8.1 Effluent and Receiving Water Limitations, and Receiving Water Monitoring Numerical Effluent Limitations
The Permit specifies numerical effluent limitations for planned discharges to surface waters; see Appendix 3:
• Effluent limits for discharges to inland surface waters, enclosed bays, and estuaries are specified in Section V.A. of the Permit;
• Effluent limits for discharges to the Pacific Ocean are specified in Section V.B. of the Permit; • Effluent limits for total petroleum hydrocarbons applicable to hydrostatic testing discharges from existing facilities as specified in Section V.C: of the Permit:
o The pollutant concentrations of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Diesel in the discharge shall not exceed 2.0 mg/L; and
o The pollutant concentrations of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Gasoline3 in the discharge shall not exceed 5.0 μg/L.
• Effluent limits applicable to all surface water discharges as specified in Section V.D of the Permit:
o Oil and grease shall not exceed 10 mg/L;
o Turbidity shall not exceed 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU); and o pH in the discharge shall be within 6.0 to 9.0 standard units. • For all previously-chlorinated4 planned discharges directly into, or within 300 feet of, the receiving water, the total residual chlorine concentration shall not exceed the following limitations:
o 0.011 mg/L, as a 4-day average and
o 0.019 mg/L, as a 1-hour average
Per Section X.B of the Permit, a discharge is in compliance with the total residual chlorine effluent limitations if the total residual chlorine concentration measured by a handheld field chlorine meter is below a minimum level (quantifiable level) of 0.1 mg/L chlorine or a positive de-chlorination agent residual.

The monitoring instruments used to obtain field data shall be maintained and calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. All information on monitoring instrument calibration shall be reported with the field monitoring data.

If, the discharge does not meet all effluent limitations, cost effective treatment options will be explored (e.g. series of bag filters, GAC, and clay filtration). If effluent limitations will not be able to be met through cost effective treatment options, the water will be transported to an approved disposal facility or appropriately permitted commercial treatment facility for final disposal.

3 A discharge is in compliance with the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Gasoline effluent limitation if the laboratory analytical monitoring result is “non-detect” using a U.S. EPA authorized laboratory analytical method with a method detection limit of 23 μg/L or lower. 4 For example, treated potable water, recycled water, etc.

1 Additional monitoring requirement for discharges from existing facilities. 2Weekly sampling frequency is required only for those pollutants/parameters that exceeded effluent limitations in the first sampling event.

For each project, if four consecutive weekly samples of a constituent that exceeded its effluent limitation in the initial sampling show concentrations less than the effluent limitation, monitoring for that constituent shall be reduced to monthly.

For every five million gallons discharged, monitoring will be conducted to determine if the discharge characteristics have changed and if new monitoring requirements are needed. If the initial results for the second five-million-gallon monitoring show no change from the initial results of the first five-milliongallon monitoring, further monitoring every five million gallons, is not required to be conducted.

Receiving Water Limitations
In addition to numerical effluent limits, narrative receiving water limitations are specified in Section VIII.A of the Permit. However, due to the low threat nature of the discharges covered under SCG authorization, compliance with effluent limitations is expected to achieve compliance with the receiving water limitations.

The Permit specifies the following narrative receiving water limitations and performance standards:
• Discharges to wetlands and vernal pools are prohibited; • Aquatic toxicity from chlorine and chemical constituents in the discharge is to be prevented and will not affect beneficial uses;
• Riparian erosion and hydromodification will be prevented; • Sediment, turbidity, trash, and color impacts are to be minimized and will not cause a nuisance or affect beneficial uses;
• Introduction of chemicals or other substances into the discharge following treatment will be prevented and will not adversely affect beneficial uses; and SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 14 • The addition of pollutants from non-permitted process waters or chemical spills will be prevented.

Compliance with these receiving water limits and performance standards is achieved both through the treatment controls described in this section and by the BMPs described in Section 6 of this BMP Plan.

8.2 Dewatering Discharge Control Strategy
Site dewatering discharges related to excavation, construction, testing, maintenance and/or repair of natural gas facilities can be from a variety of water sources and as a result, water quality and pollutants present in the water will vary. Dewatering discharges will be managed in accordance with Gas Standard 104.0226, Excavation Dewatering Management.

Water will be pumped in to holding tanks and held prior to discharge. Once it is confirmed that the water meets all effluent limitations, as prescribed in the Permit, the water will be discharged to surface waters.

While not expected, if there is a likelihood for pollutant(s) to be present above RWQCB Basin Plan objectives, the water will be sampled and appropriate cost-effective treatment will be performed, prior to discharge, if necessary, to ensure compliance.

Control Strategy for Pollutants
Sediment Controls
Removal of minor amount of sediment in the water can be readily achieved with tank settling, and if needed, bag and cartridge filtration.

Soluble Organic Pollutant Controls
SCG will determine the need for organic pollutant controls based on pre-discharge characterization. It is anticipated that organic contamination will be limited to trace concentration of a limited number of organic pollutants. SCG will evaluate the need for GAC treatment, on a case-by-case basis, when required, to meet effluent limitations.

Soluble Inorganic Pollutant Controls
Certain groundwaters in California may contain soluble concentrations of naturally occurring metals in excess of surface water effluent limits, including arsenic, selenium, and chromium. In pre-discharge characterization of test water, SCG will sample to anticipate soluble metal treatment needs. Cost effective treatment methods will evaluated a case-by-case basis, when required to meet effluent limitations.

Chlorine Toxicity Controls
The Permit imposes a total residual chlorine limit applicable to previously-chlorinated discharges that discharge directly into a receiving water or discharge to a conveyance at a point that is within 300 feet of the receiving water. In the event that of a dewatering discharge of previously chlorinated water, and the discharge point is directly into, or within 300 feet of, a receiving water, SCG will incorporate a dichlorination step into the treatment system (such as a final carbon polishing vessel) and will include field measurement of total residual chlorine to demonstrate a residual below the quantifiable level of

0.1 mg/L.

8.3 New Pipe Hydrostatic Test Water Control Strategy
SCG uses potable or non-potable water that meets the company standard as identified in Section 5.1.2 for hydrostatic testing of new pipe segments and components, and implements the BMPs described in Section 6 of this BMP Plan.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 15 Water from hydrostatic tests will be held in holding tanks following test completion. Sampling will be conducted prior to discharge to ensure all effluent limitations are met. The test water will be sampled and appropriate cost-effective treatment will be performed, prior to discharge, if necessary, to ensure compliance.

Based on the use of water that meets the company standard and testing of new pipe, it is not anticipated that contaminates will exceed Basin Plan objectives. If there is a likelihood for pollutant(s) to be present above RWQCB Basin Plan objectives, the water will be sampled and appropriate costeffective treatment will be performed, prior to discharge, if necessary, to ensure compliance.

Control Strategy for Pollutants
Chlorine Toxicity Controls
The Permit imposes a total residual chlorine limit applicable to previously-chlorinated discharges that discharge directly into a receiving water or discharge to a conveyance at a point that is within 300 feet of the receiving water. In the event that new-pipe hydrostatic test will use a previously chlorinated source water, and the discharge point is directly into, or within 300 feet of, a receiving water, SCG will incorporate a de-chlorination step into the treatment system (such as a final carbon polishing vessel) and will include field measurement of total residual chlorine to demonstrate a residual below the quantifiable level of 0.1 mg/L.

8.4 Existing Pipe Hydrostatic Test Water Control Strategy Existing Pipe Hydrostatic Test Water Discharge Characteristics Existing pipe that will be hydrostatically tested may contain the following contaminants:
• Sediments from historical pipeline deposits;
• Insoluble iron and manganese (rust) from pipeline carbon steel; • Low concentrations of soluble metals likely from historical pipeline deposits; and • Soluble organic compounds from residual pipeline condensates.

Pipeline Segment Rinsing
An element of SCG’s control strategy for land discharge of existing pipe hydrostatic test water is to rinse the pipeline segments prior to hydrostatic testing. Rinsing (known as the cleaning slug) may include the removal of condensates at known drip legs or known low points. This is done as a precautionary step to reduce the volume of potential contaminants in the post- test discharge water. The cleaning slug is purged and placed into a vacuum truck or holding tank. Samples may be collected for the purposes of waste characterization and waste acceptance, and disposal of the cleaning slug will occur offsite at an approved commercial waste facility in accordance with federal, state, and local requirements.

Control Strategy for Pollutants
Table 8-2. Control Strategy for Pollutants
Pollutant Control Strategy
Sediment Controls
Removal of minor sediment quantities resulting from insoluble iron, and manganese, and residual pipeline scale particulates mobilized by the hydrostatic test water can be typically be achieved with tank settling, and if necessary, followed by a combination of bag and cartridge filtration.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 16 8.5 Additional Control Provisions
Provisions for Water Treatment Service Contractors
If water treatment is required to meet effluent limitations, SCG will use qualified contractors to perform water treatment services. These contractors provide staff, with appropriate training, to operate the water treatment equipment.

Soluble Organic Pollutant Controls
Potential soluble organic pollutants in existing pipeline hydrostatic test water include trihalomethanes from high quality source water and hydrocarbons from pipeline condensate residual material. SCG will evaluate the need for treatment to meet effluent limits and will implement an appropriate treatment technology, such as granular activated carbon (GAC).

Soluble Inorganic Pollutant Controls
High quality source water that originates in whole, or in part, from groundwater supply wells may contain soluble metal concentrations above the Permit effluent limits, which, in many cases, are below drinking water MCLs. Therefore, before test water can be discharged to surface waters, it may require treatment to remove dissolved metals.

In the event that SCG selects a discharge strategy that includes discharging existing-pipe test water to surface waters, SCG would sample source water and post-test water for both total and field-filtered concentrations of metals to anticipate soluble metal treatment needs.

Cost effective treatment methods will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, when required, to meet effluent limitations.

Chlorine Toxicity Controls
The Permit imposes a total residual chlorine limit applicable to previously-chlorinated discharges that discharge directly into a receiving water or discharge to a conveyance at a point that is within 300 feet of the receiving water. If existing-pipe hydrostatic test will use a previously chlorinated source water, and the discharge point is directly into, or within 300 feet of, a receiving water, SCG will incorporate a dichlorination step into the treatment system (such as a final carbon polishing vessel) and will include field measurement of total residual chlorine to demonstrate a residual below the quantifiable level of 0.1 mg/L.

Separate Phase Products
The Permit imposes oil and grease effluent limits for all surface water discharges and total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel and total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline limits for hydrostatic testing from existing facilities. Hydrostatic testing from existing facilities have the potential to contain these pollutants above Permit effluent limitations, and treatment of post-test water may be likely.

If PCBs are present in the existing pipeline, they would be expected to be adsorbed in to the oily separate phase products. PCB samples are taken prior to discharge to ensure the concertation of PCBs meets effluent limitations.

In the event that SCG selects a discharge strategy that includes discharging existing-pipe test water to surface waters, SCG would sample post-test water for oil and grease to anticipate treatment needs.

Cost effective treatment methods will evaluated a case-by-case basis, when required, to meet effluent limitations.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 17 Indicators of Noncompliance
If during a planned discharge, the effluent shows an indication of noncompliance (an unusual color or smell present or observation of a sheen), if practical, and it is safe to do so the discharge shall be stopped immediately. If at this time it is not possible to stop the discharge, the discharge is now an emergency, see section 9.2 of this BMP Plan for procedures.

9.0Unplanned, Emergency, and NoncompliantDischarge
Control Strategy
This section presents a summary of requirements related to unplanned, emergency, and noncompliant discharges and guidance for complying with these requirements.

9.1 Unplanned Discharges
Unplanned Discharge Definition
As defined in the Permit, an unplanned discharge is a discharge due to dewatering resulting from water pipe ruptures, groundwater seepage, collection of rain water, incidental storm water inflow, local runon, or urgent operations, maintenance and/or repair activities.

Requirement to Implement Appropriate Best Management Practices and Controls for Unplanned Discharges
SCG will implement applicable BMPs as soon as feasible after taking necessary actions to protect public health and safety. Potentially applicable BMPs are described in Section 6 of this BMP Plan and may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Rerouting the discharge to prevent contamination of the discharge with construction materials; • Route the discharge to a suitable location to avoid hydromodification or erosion at the discharge location;
• Implement intake screening and tank settling as soon as practicable to minimize effluent turbidity;
• Cover storm drain inlets with appropriate BMPs specified in the SCG BMP Manual; • If during an unplanned discharge, the effluent shows an indication of noncompliance (an unusual color or smell present or observation of a sheen), if practical, and it is safe to do so the discharge shall be stopped immediately. If at this time it is not possible to stop the discharge, the discharge is now an emergency, see section 9.2 of this BMP Plan for procedures.

Monitoring
Monitoring is not required for unplanned discharges.

Notification
Internal Notification
Any unplanned discharge must be reported to the Water Quality SME if it occurs during business hours, or the on-call FER for after hours, or other designated responsible person.

As soon as feasible after the unplanned discharge, the Project Manager (PM) or other designated responsible person will prepare the Discharge Reporting Form in Appendix 2, for reporting and tracking SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 18 purposes. Once the form is completed it will be submitted to the Water Quality SME at [email protected].

SCG employees and contractor crews who have a potential to witness an unplanned discharge will be trained on the notification requirements.

Tribal Entities Notification
SCG will promptly notify tribal entities on the SWRCB Native American Tribe Pre-Discharge Notification List if tribal cultural resources may be impacted. SCG shall promptly terminate the discharge to avoid further impacts until cultural resource matters are addressed. In such cases, addressing the cultural resource involves work crews stopping work in the vicinity of the cultural resource discovery to avoid damage until a qualified archaeologist can assess the significance of the find. If necessary, treatment measures will be developed in consultation with appropriate agencies and tribal representatives.

9.2 Emergency Discharges
Emergency Discharge Definition
As defined in the Permit, an emergency discharge is a discharge due to a sudden unexpected occurrence involving a clear and imminent danger, demanding immediate action to prevent or mitigate loss of, or damage to, life, health, property, or essential public services, including the provision of natural gas supplies. Emergency discharges include, but are not limited to, discharges from emergency natural gas facility failure and repair and ruptures during hydrostatic testing.

Requirement to Implement Appropriate Best Management Practices and Controls for Unplanned and Emergency Discharges
SCG will implement BMPs applicable to the discharge as soon as feasible after taking necessary actions to protect public health and safety. Potentially applicable BMPs are described in Section 6 of this BMP Plan and may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Rerouting the discharge to prevent contamination of the discharge with construction materials; • Route the discharge to a suitable location to avoid hydromodification or erosion at the discharge location;
• Implement intake screening and tank settling as soon as practicable to minimize effluent turbidity;
• Cover storm drain inlets with appropriate BMPs specified in the SCG BMP Manual; and Monitoring
Monitoring is not required for emergency discharges.

Notification
Internal Notification
Any emergency discharge must be reported to the Water Quality SME if the discharge occurs during business hours, or on-call FER if after hours, or other designated responsible personnel. Within two (2) days after the emergency discharge, the Project Manager (PM) or other designated responsible person will prepare the Discharge Reporting Form in Appendix 2, for reporting and tracking purposes. Once the form is completed it will be submitted to the Water Quality SME at [email protected].

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 19 SCG employees and contractor crews who have a potential to witness an unplanned or emergency discharge will be trained on the notification requirements.

SCG Water Quality and Cultural Resource SMEs, or other designated responsible person, will promptly notify tribal entities on the SWRCB Native American Tribe Pre-Discharge Notification List if tribal cultural resources may have been impacted. SCG shall promptly terminate the discharge to avoid further impacts until cultural resource matters are addressed. In such cases, addressing the cultural resource involves work crews stopping work in the vicinity of the cultural resource discovery to avoid damage until a qualified archaeologist can assess the significance of the find. If necessary, treatment measures will be developed in consultation with appropriate agencies and tribal representatives.

Documentation of Emergency Discharge Response
Upon being notified by project staff that an emergency discharge has occurred, the on-site designated responsible person will document the following information:
• The nature of the discharge and, how it qualifies as an emergency discharge; • Whether the discharge is ongoing or is complete and estimated volume; • If the discharge is complete, the BMPs and controls that were implemented; and • If the discharge is ongoing or expected to reoccur, BMPs that will be implemented to meet Permit requirements, the associated implementation schedule, and why it is not feasible to implement BMPs and controls sooner than the proposed schedule.

All documentation shall be sent to the Water Quality SME or designated responsible person to complete the written report described below.

Reporting of Emergency Discharge
The SCG Water Quality SME or designated responsible person will provide a written report within five (5) days of the time SCG becomes aware of the emergency discharge. The notification shall include all of the following information:
• The limitations for which the emergency discharge occurred; • The date, time, location, and estimated duration of the emergency discharge; • Receiving water body, if applicable;
• The estimated volume of discharge during the emergency discharge; • The cause of the emergency discharge; and
• The corrective actions taken or planned to (1) prevent future emergency discharges and/or (2) repair the system failure.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND CONTROL STRATEGY PLAN | JULY 2018 20 9.3 Noncompliant Discharges
Noncompliant Discharge Definition
The State and Regional Water Boards deem discharges out of compliance with effluent limitations when a pollutant concentration in the monitoring sample is greater than or equal to the corresponding effluent limitation and greater than or equal to the Reporting Limit for the pollutant.

Receiving Water Monitoring
Receiving water monitoring is required when a noncompliant discharge to any surface water threatens beneficial uses in the receiving water. However, the Monitoring and Reporting Program (Attachment E of the Permit) does not require monitoring of discharges that do not go to a water of the U.S, or are associated with an emergency discharge. Additionally, monitoring is not required for discharges to constructed features, such as constructed MS4 systems, irrigation canals, and ditches that are not waters of the U.S.

When it has been determined there has been a noncompliant discharge to any surface water that does not meet any of the exceptions outlined above that may impact beneficial uses, SCG will conduct receiving water monitoring. In such instances, SCG will monitor the surface water visually at and downstream of the discharge location. Monitoring will consist of digital photographs and documentation of observed effects the discharge has on the surface water in regard to erosion, discoloration, impact on aquatic life, sedimentation, floating material, visible films, sheens, or coatings, and potential nuisance conditions.

For noncompliant discharges, SCG will include photographs and documented observations of the receiving water conditions in its Annual Monitoring Report. If the conditions surrounding the surface water presents a hazard to monitoring personnel, SCG will conduct visual monitoring using telephoto lenses and binoculars. If further hazards exist that may render visual monitoring unsafe, monitoring is not required; however, SCG will document such hazards in the monitoring report.

Notification
Internal Notification
Any noncompliance which may impact beneficial uses of the receiving waters, endanger health, or endanger the environment must be reported to the Water Quality SME, during business hours, or oncall FER after hours, or other designated responsible person Within two (2) days after the noncompliant discharge, the Project Manager (PM) or other designated responsible person will prepare the Discharge Reporting Form in Appendix 2, for reporting and tracking purposes. Once the form is completed it will be submitted to the Water Quality SME at [email protected].

SCG employees and contractor crews who have a potential to witness an unplanned or emergency discharge will be trained on the notification requirements.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
May 28, 2024

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Monthly City Treasurer's Report on Compliance with Statement of Safekeeping and Investment of Public Funds.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Council is the City of Carpinteria trustees and is authorized to make investment decisions concerning public funds that are subject to the Prudent Investment Standard.

The Prudent Investor Standard of the California Government Code Section 53600.3 states, "when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated need of the City, that a prudent person in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City." The standard or prudence to be used by investment officials shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.

Trustees are those persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of a local agency. Trustees or City Investment Officials, acting in accordance with investment policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk changes or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely manner and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to provide the City Council with the required monthly Treasurer's Report (Attachment A.)
Agenda Item No. 7
Monthly City Treasurer's Report
May 28, 2024

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The City is in compliance with the adopted Statement of Safekeeping and Investment of Public Funds.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Cash Statement: On April 30, 2024, the City held cash and cash investments as shown in the table below.

Table I
CASH ACTIVITY FOR THE MONTH:

Cash and Investment Beginning of the Month
Cash Receipts
Cash Disbursements
Cash and Investment End of the Month
$ 19,525,009.20
5,782,196.44
(4,484,619.58)
$ 20,822,586.06
Investments:

Changes in the market value of treasury securities are inversely proportional to changes in interest rates demanded in the open market (i.e., when rates rise market values fall, when rates fall market values rise.) The sensitivity of a portfolio's market value to these changes in market rates is a function of its days to maturity and its coupon rate.

Securities with longer maturities and/or lower coupon rates are more sensitive to changes in market interest rates. As security matures, changes in its value become less sensitive to market rate changes.

As of April 30, 2024, the portfolio's average days to maturity was 2.07 years, the average coupon rate was 2.09%, the average yield to maturity was 5.08%, the par value was $10,500,000 and the Market Value was $10,033,085.86.

The City does not intend to sell nor does it have any foreseeable need to sell any securities. The City's investment policy intends to hold all securities to maturity, and securities so held are redeemed at par value resulting in no net market gain or loss.

Attached for City Council review is the Treasurer's Report listing all the investments and cash activity during the month.

The City of Carpinteria will be able to meet all expenditure obligations that might reasonably be anticipated for the next six-month period November 1, 2024. \\COCSH\GDrive\Admin Services\Bank Reconciliations\Treasury\City Treasurer's report.docx Monthly City Treasurer's Report

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
May 28, 2024

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Ordinance No. 782, an Ordinance of the City Council, of the City of Carpinteria, California, amending Chapter 2.37 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code to modify the composition of the Carpinteria Community Library Advisory Commission and align reporting requirements with State law.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 782 (second reading).

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 782. (Requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
At the February 2024 Library Board of Trustees (LBOT) meeting, staff was directed to return to the City Council with modifications to Ordinance No. 782 reflecting the option to include a youth position on the Library Advisory Commission (LAC) and an update regarding the timing of the LAC annual reporting to the LBOT.

A public library operating in California and receiving resources and support from the California State Library is required to report statistics to the State Library. Each year the State provides a template for public libraries to populate the data the State Library needs to document their work.

In 2023, the Public Library Survey (PLS) was due to the State Library on November 7. This is a key document used to provide LBOT an annual report as it contains all the data accrued in the previous fiscal year.

The City Council approved Ordinance No. 782 on May 13, 2024. The purpose of this agenda item is for the Council to consider adopting Ordinance No. 782.

DISCUSSION
As per the LBOT discussion and direction provided at the February 2024 meeting, adding the option to include a youth position on the Library Advisory Commission serves two purposes:
introducing city government and processes to young people by providing hands on experience in an advisory position as well as providing the LAC members with additional input from youth stakeholders. Staff has prepared a redlined Ordinance No. 782, provided in Attachment A, Agenda Item No. 8
Ordinance 782 - LAC Revised
May 28, 2024

showing the proposed language that would codify the option for the LAC to include a Youth Representative from the Library service area.

In addition, in order to provide the LAC time to prepare a thorough annual report to the LBOT, using data collected for the California State Library, staff is recommending a modification to the date the annual report is due as written in Ordinance No. 782. This recommended change allows for the date when the Annual Report is submitted to the LBOT to be amended as needed and is reflected in the redlined version of the Ordinance No. 782 provided in Attachment A. Attachment B shows a clean version of the updated Ordinance.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
This agenda item is consistent with the City's 2024 Strategic Plan Primary Goal #4: "Strengthen Community Institution Collaboration" by identifying and implementing opportunities for youth engagement in City government activities.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Staff time to prepare the report is included in the Adopted FY 2023-24 Budget.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney's Office has provided the edits to the proposed changes to Ordinance No. 782 and is available to answer any questions.

OPTIONS

1. Adopt Ordinance No. 782 (second reading).

2. The City Council may choose not to adopt Ordinance No. 782 and instead provide alternative direction to staff.

PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
No principal parties expected to attend.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
May 28, 2024

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Resolutions calling the November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election and requesting the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to consolidate said election with the Presidential General Election to be held the same day, and adopting regulations for Candidate Statements.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached two resolutions relating to the November 5, 2024 election:

1. Resolution No. 6317, calling for the holding of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024 and requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara to consolidate said election with the Presidential General Election; and

2. Resolution No. 6318, adopting regulations for Candidates' Statements.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution Nos. 6317 and 6318, as read by title only.

BACKGROUND
The City's General Municipal Election is held on the day of the Statewide General Election in November of each even-numbered year. The November 5, 2024 election will be the City's second district-based election, completing its transition to the district election system with the election of a representative for City Council District Nos. 2 and 4 (which are currently atlarge) for four-year terms.

In March 2024, City Council District No. 3 Councilmember Roy Lee ("Lee") was elected to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors ("Board") and will take office on the Board in January 2025. On May 7, 2024, Councilmember Lee submitted his resignation to the City Clerk, requesting to serve in the position until the swearing-in of his replacement on December 9, 2024. On May 13, 2024, the City Council directed staff to fill Councilmember Lee's District No. 3 seat by special election which will be consolidated with the General Municipal and Presidential Elections that will occur on November 5, 2024.

Agenda Item No. 9
November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election of City Council Candidates May 28, 2024

In addition, the ballot submitted to voters may include a measure proposing an amendment to the City's Transient Occupancy Tax per Resolution No. 6320, depending on Council action. This measure will be heard as a subsequent item on the May 28, 2024 City Council agenda.

The purpose of this agenda item is for the Council to consider adoption of Resolution Nos. 6317 and 6318, calling the November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election, requesting the Board consolidate it with any and all elections occurring on the same date, and adopting regulations for Candidate Statements, respectively. The City's General Municipal Election will be for the purpose of electing two members of the City Council representing District Nos. 2 and 4 for the full term of four years, electing one member of the City Council representing District No. 3 for a half term of two years (the balance of Councilmember Lee's term), and placing a transient occupancy tax measure on the ballot.

DISCUSSION
Sections 10400 through 10418 of the California Elections Code provide the procedures on consolidating elections. The procedure requires the City Council to request consolidation at the same time the resolution calling the election is adopted. These resolutions authorize the agency conducting the election (County of Santa Barbara) to conduct the election on behalf of the City and to canvass the results. The City will be responsible for reimbursing the County for the actual election cost upon presentation of a bill. The Elections Code also requires the Council to adopt regulations for candidates pursuing elective office to draft legally sound candidate statements.

Elections Code Section 10403 provides that whenever an election called by a city for the submission of a question, proposition, or office to be filled is to be consolidated with a Statewide Election, and the question, proposition or office to be filled is to appear on the same ballot as that provided for in the Statewide Election, the city shall file with the Board of Supervisors a resolution of its governing board requesting consolidation. Per the Elections Code, the resolution requesting consolidation must be filed at least 88 days prior (August 9, 2024) to the date of the election. However, the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors will be in summer recess from July 23, 2024 to August 13, 2024, and their last meeting before this deadline is July 16, 2024. Hence, the deadline to submit a consolidation request to the Clerk of the Board is July 3, 2024.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The proposed actions related to setting the City's municipal election are consistent with County policies and procedures and State law. Also, the proposed consolidated election is consistent with the City's interest in efficient use of public resources.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
As shown in Table 1 below, the City's election costs significantly decrease when the City consolidates with the County, compared to holding a "stand-alone" election without G:\CC Staff Reports\2024 0528\FINAL\Election - Candidates\Staff Report Election - Candidates.docx November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election of City Council Candidates May 28, 2024

assistance from the Santa Barbara County Elections Office. In contrast, a stand-alone special election could incur expenses of up to $100,000.

Table 1: Santa Barbara County Elections Office Candidate Election Cost Estimat e Contest Reqistered Voters Estimate
One Seat, District No. 2 1,664 $2,500
One Seat, District No. 3 1,856 $2,600
One Seat, District No. 4 1,676 $2,500
TOTAL $7,600
The estimated cost to consolidate the 2024 General Municipal Election with the Statewide Election conducted by the County of Santa Barbara will be included in the Proposed 2024- 25 Fiscal Year Budget that staff will present to the Council in June.

No Additional Funding Requested. There is sufficient budget in 101-132-5201 - Professional Services.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the requisite election resolutions and will be available to answer questions at the meeting.

OPTIONS

1. Adopt the Resolutions as submitted. (Staff Recommendation)

2. Amend the Resolutions, provided all requirements of the Elections Code are met, and adopt the Resolutions as amended.

3. Do not adopt the Resolutions and provide direction to staff as appropriate.

PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
There are no principal parties expected at the meeting.

ITEM FOR COUNCI L CONSIDERATION
Placement of a proposed measure to increase the rate of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax from twelve percent (12%) to fifteen percent (15%) on the November 2024 ballot.

STAFF MENDATION

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6320, ordering the submission to the qualified electors of the City of a certain measure relating to increasing the rate of the City's Transient .Occupancy Tax at the General Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5,2024, as called by Resolution No. 6317;

2. Adopt Resolution No. 6321, requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara to consolidate a General Municipal Election to be held on November 5,2024, with the Statewide General Election to be held on the date pursuant to $ 10403 of the Elections Code;

3. Adopt Resolution No. 6322, setting priorities for filing written argument(s) regarding a City measure and directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis;

4. Adopt Resolution No. 6323, providing for the filing of rebuttal arguments for City measures submitted at municipal elections.

Samole Motion : I move to adopt Resolution Nos. 6320 through 6323, as read by title only, all concerning the requisite actions associated with placing a proposed measure to increase the rate of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax on the ballot for the November 5,2024 General Municipal Election. (Requires a two-thirds vote to pass.)

BACKGROUND
Transient Occupancy TaX
The Transient Occupancy Tax ("TOT") is the technical name for the tax imposed on occupants staying thirty (30) days or less in hotels, motels, and other similar lodgings. lt is also commonly known as a "hotel tax" or a "bed tax." lmposition of a TOT, as well as 28724652.2
Agenda Item No. 10
November 5,2024 General Municipal Election Matters
May 28,2024
Page2
an extension or increase in TOT rates, must be approved by the voters. TOT is applied to a customer's rent, and not on the business that conducts the lodging.

The revenues generated by the TOT increase will be used for any government purpose and not legally restricted to any specific purpose. Therefore, the TOT increase is a "general tax," which only requires a simple majority, or 50% plus one, voter approval. A "special tax," by contrast, is legally restricted for a specific use and requires a supermajority, or twothirds voter approval, to pass. General tax measures may only be placed on the ballot during a regularly scheduled general election of the City, except in the case of an emergency. This means the TOT tax measure would need to be scheduled for November 5, 2024, or it would need to wait until November 3,2026.

The City's TOT regulations are found in Chapter 3.20 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code ("CMC';.t The City currently imposes a 12o/o hotel tax and is proposing to increase the tax by 3%.2 This increase is expected to generate $750,000 annually to contribute to the generalfund until ended by voters, thereby maintaining fiscal sustainability and essential services. Allfunds would be confined to use within the City, and will require certain audits and disclosures. Ordinance No. 780, which is attached and incorporated into Resolution Nos. 6320 and 6321, is the full text of the Ordinance amendment increasing TOT that is to be submitted to the voters.

Council Direction and Consideration of Potential Transient Occupancy Tax [OT) Ballot Measure
The City's adopted 2024 Annual Work Plan includes Primary Goal #3 - "Take Steps to Address the Fiscal Sustainability of the City." As part of this goal, the City Council directed staff to explore new revenue sources to help maintain current service levels and programs while also meeting the demand of the City's growing infrastructure maintenance and improvement needs.

Given this direction from the City Council, staff began to explore a potential TOT ballot measure for the November 5,2024 General Municipal Election. A request for proposals was released for professional polling and public opinion research related to a possible TOT measure. FM3's proposal was selected based on its cost-competitiveness and how it closely aligned with the City's specific needs.3
1 Additionally, CMC Section 14.08.562 subjects short-term rentals (STRs) to pay fees and/or taxes, including TOT to the City.
2 Like Carpinteria, the TOT rates for Santa Barbara County, Santa Barbara City, Goleta, and Solvang are all currently at 12%.lt should be noted that the City of Goleta, City of Santa Barbara and portions of the southern Santa Barbara County unincorporated area also fallwithin the Santa Barbara South Coast Tourism Business lmprovement District (TBID)which imposes an additional2o/o TBID assessment. Both Buellton and Solvang are considering increasing their TOT rates from 12oh to 14o/o this November.

Additionally, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will consider placing a TOT increase measure on their ballot next month at its June 4 meeting. 3 FM3 also consulted with the City on Measures X (2018localsales tax measure) and the 2012TOT increase.

Carpinteria's Revenue Needs
The City Council is aware of the financial constraints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, from which the City has been unable to fully recover. Combined with rising costs due to inflation and the growing demands to maintain and expand service levels throughout Carpinteria, these factors have strained the City's budget. As the City has matured, the public expects a high level of services and continued investment in the community.

Unfunded state mandates and rising public safety costs have further compounded these financial challenges. Council and staff have been extremely resourceful in meeting needs by aggressively pursuing grants and other sources of onetime funding. However, significant unmet public needs remain, and the lack of sufficient revenue to address these needs and community priorities affects the City's ability to tackle longterm challenges.

The City faces significant financial hurdles on multiple fronts:

Rising Gosts of Law Enforcement: The escalation in costs associated with the City's current agreement with the Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Office, Agreement No. 2023-037, City of Carpinteria Contract Law Enforcement Seruices for FY 2023/2024 - FY 2026/2027, presents a substantial challenge. The cost for law enforcement service during the fiscal year ("FY") 202312024 is approximately $6.1 million which is an increase of over $1,000,000 from the previous FY's costs.

By the final year of the current agreement (FY 202612027), the City's annual cost for law enforcement services will be $7.2 million.
o
Rising Operational Costs: The rising operational expenses of City services due to inflation and other macroeconomic factors (i.e., high federal interest rates), including staffing and program costs for new initiatives such as the City library, Senior Programming, City parks including the newly developed Skate Park, add to the financial strain. Existing programs continue to be subsidized by the general fund. The Community Pool represents the greatest single facility operating cost, with revenue from all user charges estimated to be less than 50% of pool operating costs.

Reduction in Revenue: The City's main sources of revenue including sales tax, localtax (Measure X), property tax and transient occupancy tax are plateauing and are not rising to match the City's rising expenditures. a Rising Capital lmprovement Program (GlP) Gosts: The City has experienced rising CIP costs due to project bids coming in significantly higher than the engineer's estimate. The City's costs for maintaining roads and other capital projects are higher than historical values due to rising labor costs (labor shortages, high cost of living, smaller market), material cost increases (supply chain issues and inflation), regulatory costs and increased demand for contractor services.

November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election Matters
May 28,2024

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the Council to consider adopting Resolution Nos. 6320 through 6323 concerning the requisite actions associated with placing a proposed measure to increase the rate of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax on the ballot for the November 5,2024 General Municipal Election.

DISCUSSION
Results of the Ma rah 2024 Pollino
The survey conducted by FM3 garnered 341 responses. The survey was conducted by phone in in both English and Spanish from March 24to April 1 ,2024.

Survey results indicate that two-thirds of Carpinteria voters perceive that the City needs additional funding and that more than three-quarters of voters support a TOT measure, far exceeding the majority vote threshold necessary for passage. The survey responses also suggest that voter support increases with an understanding that TOT is paid only by hotel visitors and that it is a strictly local revenue source that cannot be taken by the State.

Election Procedures
To place the TOT measure on the November 5, 2024, ballot, the Council must adopt Resolution Nos. 6320 through 6323 by a 213 vote of all members of the City Council.a Should a measure to increase the TOT by 3%, raising the rate to 15o/o, be placed on the ballot in November 2024, it would require a majority vote (50% + 1) of the Carpinteria registered voters to pass.

Elections Code Section 10403 provides that whenever an election called by a city for the submission of a question, proposition, or office to be filled is to be consolidated with a Statewide Election, and the question, proposition or office to be filled is to appear on the same ballot as that provided for in the Statewide Election, the city shall file with the Board of Supervisors a resolution of its governing board requesting consolidation. The resolution requesting consolidation must be filed at least 88 days prior (August 9, 2024) to the date of the election. However, the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors will be in summer recess from July 23,2024 to August 13,2024, and their last meeting before this deadline is July 16,2024. Hence, the deadline to submit a consolidation request to the Clerk of the Board is July 3,2024.
ln addition, the resolution calling for the election and the resolution providing for the submission of rebuttal arguments must be adopted at the same time as the resolution requesting consolidation (Elections Code Sections 9285(b), 10403.) ln association with any City measures approved to be placed on a ballot for a local election, the Election Code requires a city to approve the title and question to be placed a Government Code Section 53724(b)

on the ballot; the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the measure; the city to comply with rules concerning the filing and selecting of arguments for and against the measure; and the City to establish rules for rebuttal arguments, should the city wish to allow them.

The proposed actions related to setting the City's municipal election are consistent with County policies and procedures and State law. Also, the proposed consolidated election is consistent with the City's interest in efficient use of public resources.

FINANCIAL CONSI DERATIONS
The election costs by consolidating with the County are considerably less than they would be if the City held a "stand-alone" election. The Santa Barbara County Elections Office has estimated that it will cost approximately $14,000 to place the TOT measure on the ballot. This amount will be included in the Proposed 2024-25 Fiscal Year Budget that staff will present to the Council in June. No Additional Funding Requested. There is sufficient budget in 101 -132-5201 - Professional Services.
