DATE: July 23, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Maintenance Services Agreement with Garcia’s Fence Corporation, for City-owned properties and City right of way fence and gate maintenance, in an amount not to exceed $225,000.00, through June 30, 2029
Background:

The City currently does not have an on-call contractor to maintain perimeter and security fencing along the public right of way and on City-owned properties. Garcia’s Fence Corporation (“Garcia’s) has provided fencing-related maintenance and repairs for the City for several years, which have been approved and paid for under separate purchase orders each time. Garcia’s provides the materials needed to support the safety and security for related fence maintenance needs. Garcia’s is a locally owned and operated service provider that can respond quickly and efficiently to service all fencing related services.

Discussion:

Fence maintenance and repairs have been an increasing need in the City, and having a contractor on-call to support this growing need moving forward would be beneficial for Staff.

Staff recommends approving a Maintenance Services Agreement with Garcia’s through June 30, 2029, to provide these services in an amount not to exceed $225,000.00. The locations with fences and gates in the City include:

1123 -1135 Hatcher Ave
130-138 Turnbull Canyon Rd
205 Hudson Ave
150 S. Hacienda Blvd
220 S. Hacienda Blvd
242 S. Hacienda Blvd

1 Industry Hills Pkwy
600 Brea Canyon Rd
208 Waddingham Way
1146 S. Nogales St
19772 Business Parkway
19001 Tonner Canyon Road
Additional City-owned parcels include APNs 8269-036-270 (off of Brea Canyon Cutoff Road), 8719-009-915 (strip of land west of the IBC), and 8269-008-270 (open space west of the 57 freeway, south of Pathfinder Road).

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact is $225,000.00. This is funded under various accounts within the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-2027 General Fund Budget, depending on the location within the City the work

was done. The accounts include: 100-624-7410 (Public Right of Way Maintenance), 100-628- 8510 (Property Maintenance), MP 00 20 (Tonner Canyon Property), 100-625-8510 (Property Maintenance), MP 12 06 26 (Turnbull Canyon Properties), 100-625-8510 (Property Maintenance), and MP 14 10 (City Maintenance Yard at 1123 Hatcher Avenue).

Recommendation:

Approve the Maintenance Services Agreement with Garcia’s Fence Corporation.

Insurance certificates and endorsement must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.

City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

Duration of coverage. Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Contractor, his agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Contractor shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Contractor, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Contractor payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of noncompliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. 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, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

Notice of cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for

which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess liability policies.

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

Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability.

The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subcontractors, 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 and endorsements 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 Contractors, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.

City’s right to revise specifications. The 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 and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Contractor shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Mathew Hudson, Director of Public Works
James Cramsie, Sr. Director of Engineering
Arlene Lopez, Sr. Project Manager
DATE: July 23, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of authorization to advertise for public bids for Contract No. CITY-1546, Annual Slurry FY25, for an estimated cost of $598,000 (MP 24-05) Background:

Each year, the City maintains certain streets with slurry seal to preserve and protect the underlying pavement structure and provide a new driving surface. The application of slurry seal serves to seal the cracks, which helps in extending the life of the pavement. This project will be implemented as Contract No. CITY-1546 (“Contract”), subject to the approval of the City Council.

Discussion:

The scope of work involves providing all labor, materials, and equipment to slurry seal various city streets. Work will include preparation of pavement surface by crack sealing, removal of existing raised pavement markers, application of surface treatment, and installation of pavement striping and pavement markers. Existing red curb will also be cleaned, prepared, and repainted, with a minimum removal of 80 percent of the existing red paint. In addition to City streets, the Metrolink parking lot will be resurfaced with a seal coat to preserve the pavement. All curbs within the parking lot will be repainted and parking lot striping and pavement markers will be installed.

The project also includes piloting a type of pavement preservation with the application of fiber reinforced slurry seal. This will be applied on two of the streets, Russell Street and Canada Court, and will be observed over the next two to three years for durability compared to other similar street that receive conventional slurry seal. Fiber reinforced slurry seal increases flexibility, which will minimize reflective cracking and therefore will extend the life of the pavement compared to one applied with conventional slurry seal.

The following streets and parking lot are scheduled to be done under this Contract:
• Rausch Road – Mayor Dave Way to Cul de sac
• El Encanto Road – Parriott Place to Proctor Avenue
• Parriott Place West – Proctor Avenue to Don Julian Road • Canada Court – Rowland Street to Cul de sac
• Radecki Court – Rowland Street to Cul de sac
• Ajax Avenue – Rowland Street to Cul de sac
• Curl Court – Rowland Street to Cul de sac
• Russel Street – Valley Boulevard to Cul de sac
• John Reed Court (north of Gale Ave) – Gale Avenue to Cul de sac • John Reed Court (south of Gale Ave) – Gale Avenue to Cul de sac • Evergreen Place – Gale Avenue to Cul de sac
• Johnson Drive – Gale Avenue to Cul de sac
• Green Drive – Gale Avenue to Gale Avenue
• Green Drive – Gale Avenue to Walmart Parking Lot Entrance • Marion Court – Johnson Drive to Cul de sac
• Darius Court – Johnson Drive to Cul de sac
• Bixby Drive – Gale Avenue to Johnson Drive
• Brea Canyon Metrolink Parking Lot
Fiscal Impact:

The estimated cost for this project is $598,000.00.

Recommendation:

It is hereby recommended that the City Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize the solicitation of public bids.

ITEM NO. 6.4

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Bing Hyun, Asst. City Manager
Kathy Tai, Dev. Services Manager
DATE: July 23, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Fehr & Peers for On-call Transportation Planning and Analysis Services extending the term through June 30, 2031 and updating the rate schedule Background:

On June 25, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. CC 2020-20, establishing Vehicle Miles Traveled (“VMT”) thresholds of significance in conformance with Senate Bill 743 and the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines. The VMT methodology replaced the previous Level of Service (“LOS”) approach for analyzing transportation impacts associated with development projects subject to CEQA. To support implementation of these requirements, on October 28, 2021, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Fehr & Peers to provide transportation planning and analysis services.

Discussion:

Fehr & Peers has served as the City’s VMT transportation planning consultant for the past five years, providing professional and responsive transportation planning and analysis services in support of the City’s implementation of VMT requirements. The proposed amendment will extend the Agreement through June 30, 2031 and update the rate schedule.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact depends on the work assignments. Most of Fehr & Peers’ work will support developer applications, with costs fully reimbursed by project applicants. For City projects requiring VMT-related services, costs will be paid by the applicable project funding sources, such as General Fund or special funds.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1.

ITEM NO. 6.5

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Mathew Hudson, Director of Public Works
Sean Calvillo, Director of Operations
DATE: July 23, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Sewer System Management Plan, and Adoption of a Notice of Exemption regarding same
Background:

On December 6, 2022, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems, Water Quality Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ (Sanitary Sewer Systems WDR). The Sanitary Sewer Systems WDR requires public agencies that own and/or operate sanitary sewer systems to:
• Comply with Federal and State prohibitions of discharge of sewage to waters of the State, including Federal waters of the United States
• Comply with specifications and notification, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements
• Proactively operate and maintain resilient sanitary sewer systems to prevent spills • Eliminate discharges of sewage to Waters of the State through effective implementation of a Sewer System Management Plan
• Monitor, track, and analyze spills for ongoing system-specific performance improvements.

The regulations were put in place to ensure that publicly owned sanitary sewer collection systems in the State of California with more than one mile of infrastructure are well managed, operated, and maintained to prevent or significantly minimize the occurrence of sanitary sewer overflows.

Pursuant to the SWRCB Sanitary Sewer Systems WDR, the City is required to present the SSMP to the City Council for readoption every six years following the date of its original approval or whenever there is a significant change in the document. The SSMP was initially

adopted by the City Council in 2009. The City Council last recertified the SSMP on December 12, 2019. The City Council’s adoption of the SSMP will satisfy the SWRCB’s recertification requirements, due August 2, 2026.

Discussion:

Staff worked with Los Angeles County Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District (“CSMD”) on updating the Sewer System Management Plan for 2026. Upon City Council approval, the SSMP will be implemented. The goal of the SSMP is to ensure that the City’s sewer system is cost effective, well managed, operated and maintained in order to reduce sanitary sewer overflows and protect public health and the environment. The SSMP covers topics that include the City’s legal authority to regulate the sewer system and its users, establish an operation and maintenance program, provide design and performance guidelines, execute an overflow emergency response plan, enforce a sewer pipe blockage control program that regulates the fat, oil and grease discharged by food service/restaurant operations, provide a monitoring program and provide public access to the SSMP.

CSMD carries out the maintenance program for the City’s nearly 50 miles of sanitary sewers.

The City’s sewer system mostly ranges in size from 8 inches to 18 inches in diameter, but up to 36 inches diameter. CSMD implements system specific procedures to proactively prioritize operations and maintenance, condition assessments and repair, and rehabilitation to address system resilience.

City Staff has determined that this project is subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), however, it is exempt pursuant to Sections 15301 (maintenance of existing facilities) and 15308 (actions take to assure the maintenance/protection of the environment) of the CEQA Guidelines. As set forth above, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works is responsible for all operation and maintenance activities of the City’s sewer collection system. The City is not responsible for any operation, maintenance or construction activities related to the system. Further, the plan does not explicitly commit the City to future construction or maintenance activities. Pursuant to Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines, actions taken by regulatory agencies to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment, are exempt from CEQA. Under the instant circumstances, the SSMP is mandated by the State Water Board to minimize future sewer system overflows in the City, thereby reducing water quality issues that could pose serious health and safety issues. Given that the SSMP is adopted for the purpose of protecting the environment, it is exempt under Section 15308. Further, because the SSMP applies to an existing sanitary collection system, and its implementation may result in the repair or replacement of existing systems involving negligible or no expansion of capacity, the SSMP is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Based on the foregoing, Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a Notice of Exemption for the Sewer System Management Plan.

Fiscal Impact:

There are no additional costs associated with the 2026 Sewer System Management Plan approval. Sewer maintenance funds are handled through the County’s Consolidated Sewer

Maintenance District’s budget.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the 2026 Sewer System Management Plan, adopt a Notice of Exemption for the Plan, and permit the Director of Public Works to make minor revisions to the Plan, as necessary.

1 Goal and Introduction

1.1 Regulatory Context
The City of Industry (“City”), along with Los Angeles County Public Works (“LACPW”), has prepared this updated Sewer System Management Plan (“SSMP”) pursuant to the State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) December 6, 2022, Statewide Sanitary Sewer Systems General Order 2022- 0103-DWQ (“General Order”). This SSMP provides a management plan for the City and Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (“PW”), which administers the Sewer Maintenance Districts (“Districts”) in Los Angeles County, responsible for operating and maintaining the Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District (“CSMD”) collection system, of which the City is a member.

Table 1-1 summarizes the General Order requirements addressed by this SSMP1. These requirements are defined by General Order specifications and associated General Order attachments. All agencies that own and operate collection systems greater than one mile in length must comply with these requirements.

This document serves as the 2026 update to the SSMP approved and adopted by the City Council at a public meeting on July 23, 2026. Appendix A1 includes documentation of approval by the City Council. Appendix A2 includes the General Order.

The sewer-related services that the Districts provide vary from city to city depending on the service agreements. Table 1-2 summarizes the CSMD cities and the sewer-related services currently provided by the LACPW to the City. LACPW applied for coverage under the reissued General Order for facilities it owns, and the CSMD member cities applied for coverage under the reissued General Order for facilities they own. LACPW and the member cities own the sewer mainlines and the point of connection to the sewer mainlines, but do not own any portion of the sewer lateral beyond the sewer connection.

LACPW, as operator of the CSMD, prepares and updates the SSMP for activities LACPW perform for managing, operating, and maintaining sewer systems including the Districts.

The City, as well as the other County departments serviced by CSMD, as owners of their respective system, are responsible for preparing and updating an SSMP specific to the collection system owned by those entities. The City is responsible for implementing the legal authorities required by the General Order and also are responsible for conducting capacity studies of their collection system when necessary and correcting identified hydraulic deficiencies. The CSMD performs functions required by the General Order related to the operation and maintenance of sanitary sewer systems.

1.2 SSMP Goal and System Management Objectives
The goal of the SSMP is to provide a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the collection system. This will help reduce and prevent spills, as well as mitigate any spills that do occur. The City and LACPW has adopted and is dedicated to achieving the following collection system management objectives:
• Proper operation, maintenance, and management of the Districts’ sanitary sewer collection system facilities to reduce the frequency and severity of sewer spills and their potential impacts on public health, safety, and the environment.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works

• Prompt action when sewer spills occur to identify, contain, and remove the cause, promptly report the event to appropriate regulatory authorities, and ensure the public is adequately and timely notified.
• Document all sewer spills and system deficiencies and the remedial actions taken. • Adequately train and equip the Districts’ sewer system operators, employees, contractors, responders, or other agents to address a sewer spill event. • Maintain and repair the Districts’ sewer system to provide adequate capacity to convey base flows and peak flows while meeting or exceeding applicable regulations, laws, and generally accepted practices relative to sanitary sewer system operations and maintenance.

This SSMP documents how the City and LACPWs collection system practices are integrated toward the achievement of the City’s and LACPWs objectives. The City’s and LACPW have identified the following actions to be taken under this SSMP to ensure the accomplishment of these goals:
• Conduct a planned and scheduled maintenance program that will minimize the risk and occurrence of sewer spills, in support of the SSMP goals. • When sewer spills do occur, respond to the reported site in a timely manner and undertake feasible remedial actions to contain the spill to minimize impacts, including stopping the flow from reaching the storm drain, if possible. • Stop the spill as soon as possible and limit public access to the spill area to prevent public contact with any wastewater contamination.
• Recover the spill to the extent feasible and return it to the sewer system and then clean up the contaminated area.
• Gather and compile all pertinent information regarding the spill event, investigate as necessary to determine probable cause, document findings, report to the appropriate regulatory agencies in a timely manner, and file the completed report.

1.3 SSMP Update Schedule
Pursuant to the General Order, CSMD conducts program monitoring and triennial audits of its SSMP, prepares SSMP updates, and implements planned activities to achieve the City’s and LACPWs collection system program objectives. The City’s SSMP update was prepared upon completion of the most recent SSMP Program Audit, dated January 15, 2026, and LACPWs SSMP update.

1.4 Sewer System Asset Overview
The City’s Public Works Department (“City PW”) manages the sanitary sewer collection system, which serves a population of approximately 263 residents and consists of 49.86 miles of sewer lines. The City's local sewers discharge into the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County facilities for conveyance, treatment, and disposal.

The City is responsible for the budgeted management positions directly involved in sewer system responsibilities. The field operation and maintenance services are fulfilled by utilizing the services provided by LACPW.

These personnel, in collaboration with LACPW personnel, administer the City's sewer collection system operation, provide engineering evaluation of proposed and existing sewer facilities, administer preventive maintenance and sewer construction programs, and oversee the maintenance of sewer collection system facilities and related records and plans. Appendix A3 provides a summary of assets for all collection systems.

Other relevant information regarding the City’s collection systems and management program includes:

implementing Cityworks Maintenance Management System to schedule and track maintenance activities.
o Cityworks: LACPW is implementing Cityworks Maintenance Management System to schedule and track maintenance activities. The condition assessment schedule and eventually CCTV is planned to be added to Cityworks. Cityworks will be used to record what sections have been inspected, the schedule of activities, and whether work has been completed or not. It will also be used to schedule and track FOG source control inspections of industrial and commercial establishments. o HMS: LACPW utilizes the HMS database to maintain records of all sites and their locations under the FOG program. Inspectors document their findings and enter data into the HMS database, which automates the inspection process and is used to track and manage permit inspection and source control data.
o PowerBI: PowerBI is utilized to display spill trends and analysis, as well as City profiles, which include detailed information on manholes, pipes, pump stations, and properties. Additionally, Power BI is used to display productivity reports, detailing maintenance activities for each city. o CCTV Database: Wincan and GraniteNet are used to document inspection events, inspection observations and associated videos.

These systems serve as the repository for historical CCTV inspection data. LACPW is in the process of linking GraniteNet with Cityworks to maintain CCTV records.
o CADD: As-built plans of the Districts’ facilities are maintained by LACPW for unincorporated Los Angeles County areas and by each city within the CSMD for their own jurisdiction, with LACPW maintaining a copy for maintenance operations. Data gathered from the plans, such as system locations and alignment, pipe material, size, etc., are stored in the SMD’s Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) System and Geographical Information System (GIS).
o GIS: LACPW and the City utilize GIS to generate a mapping system that includes sewer features and map base layers such as aerial images, streets, parcels, and storm drain systems also available from other Divisions within LACPW, County Departments and other governmental agencies. The City utilizes GIS for the system boundary, the locations of domestic waste clearance permits with grease control devices, and other related items.
o SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system used to collect and store pump station alarm and instrumentation data. o Microsoft Office: Various collection system programs are managed using Microsoft Office applications as an electronic database. Currently, Office is used to store the schedule for FOG program activities, but this will eventually be performed using Cityworks.

3 Legal Authority

3.1 Overview
The City's legal authority to own and operate a sanitary sewer system is derived from its incorporation as a city. The City on June 26, 1986, by Resolution No. 1338, granted the LACPW the consent and jurisdiction to annex portions of the City’s sewer system into the CSMD. By that action, the City has entrusted the management, operation, and maintenance of its local sanitary sewer system to the CSMD. The City, however, still maintains ownership of the sewer system.

The legal authorities for the specific areas stipulated in the General Order are covered in various sections of the City Municipal Codes (“CMC”s). The City has adopted by reference the 2022 Edition of the California Plumbing Code together with the Los Angeles County Title 28 – Plumbing Code and the Los Angeles County Title 20 – Utilities, which regulates sanitary sewers and industrial waste in in the County as its Sanitary Sewer and Industrial Waste Ordinance.
• City of Industry Municipal Code - https://ecode360.com/IN4941 • Plumbing Code Chapter 15.24 - https://ecode360.com/44192105#44192105 • Sanitary Sewers and Industrial Waste – Ordinance No. 751-U “Urgency ordinance adopting the Los Angeles County Code Chs. 20.20, 20.24, 20.28 and

20.32 by reference” the City has also adopted all portions of Division 2 of LACO TITLE 20, which regulates sanitary sewers.

The Districts were formed pursuant to Chapter 4 of the State of California Health and Safety Code (Section H4870 – 8), with the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors acting as their governing body. By law, the Board of Supervisors may make and enforce all rules and regulations necessary for the administration of the Districts and for the cleaning, repair, construction, rehabilitation, renewal, replacement, operation, and maintenance of collection sewers within the Districts. Consistent with the law, several ordinances have been established by the Board of Supervisors to govern all aspects of the Districts' operations. The legal authorities for the specific areas stipulated in the WDRs are covered in various sections of the Los Angeles County Plumbing Code (LACO Plumbing Code) and Chapters 20.20, 20.24, 20.26, 20.32, 20.34, 20.36, and 20.40 of the Los Angeles County Code (LACO Code) Title 20 – Utilities, some of which are discussed below. Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 summarizes these authorities and relates them to elements of the SSMP that are impacted or utilize these authorities. Specific legal authorities are described in more detail in the elements that follow.

For the contracted cities that have service agreements with the Districts, the provision of services is dependent on the specific terms of the agreement. It is assumed that the legal authorities are extended to the Districts to provide services to these Cities.

The LACO Code, LACO Plumbing Codes, standard plans, specifications, and other materials cited in this Section are filed at the office of the Director of Public Works and can be found online in the links below:

3.2 Authority to Prevent Illicit Industrial Waste Discharges into the Collection System
The LACO Plumbing Code Title 28 (Sections 306.2, 714.2, and 1101.2) prohibits the unauthorized discharge of rain, surface, or subsurface water into the collection system.

The illegal dumping of offensive or damaging substances such as chemicals and debris, which are considered inflows, is prohibited by LACO Code, Section 20.36.010.

3.2.1 Prevention of Illicit Discharge of FOG
Section 20.36.400 of the LACO Code prohibits the discharge of Fats, Oils, and Grease and other substances that may, among other things, clog, obstruct, fill, or necessitate frequent repairs, cleaning out, or flushing of sewer facilities in the sewer system.

3.2.2 Prevention of Illicit Discharge of Infiltration/Inflow LACPW have an Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) control program as part of their ongoing sewer line cleaning and maintenance program, which includes closed-circuit television and other mechanisms to detect I/I. By ordinance, the Board of Supervisors has established a financial plan to ensure capital replacement or rehabilitation of sewer lines prone to I/I within the Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District (LACO Code, Section 20.40.045).

The Marina Sewer Maintenance District provides adequate funding to eliminate I/I sources in the mainline sewers and manholes.

The LACO Code, Section 20.24.080, requires property owners to maintain their house laterals, including the elimination of cracks, tree roots, and other debris. A similar requirement is found in Section 101.3.2 of the LACO Plumbing Code Title 28.

3.3 Authority to Collaborate with Storm Sewer Agencies
Spills from the City’s collection systems flow into the City’s storm drainage systems and Los Angeles County Flood Control drainage systems. Los Angeles County Public Health requires all cities in the Districts to report sewer spills that reach a drainage system within 15 minutes of knowledge of the event. As a result, Los Angeles County Flood Control is notified and can provide support to provide information and access to County drainage system facilities, if needed. The Sewer Maintenance Division, being a sister division to Stormwater Maintenance Divisions that manages the Flood Control System, allows for direct collaboration, allowing for efficient management and resolution of spills and drainage issues.

With regards to preventing cross connections of sanitary sewer infrastructure to storm sewer infrastructure, the City works under the services of the LACPWs Building and Safety Division (“BSD”).

3.4 Authority to Require Proper Design and Construction of Sewers
The LACO Code Sections 20.32.330 and 20.32.340, as adopted by the City under Ordinance 751-U, require that the design of new mainline sewers and pumping plants, respectively, be in conformity with requirements of Part 3 of Chapter 20.32 of the LACO Code. Similarly, Section 20.32.350 of the LACO Code requires that the design of new house laterals conform to the requirements of Part 3, Chapter 20.32 of the LACO Code unless otherwise covered by the LACO Plumbing Code, Title 28. The construction of a collection sewer system, by law (LACO Code 20.32.580), is required to conform to all the requirements prescribed by Division 2 of the LACO Code, by the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (“Green Book”) and by the Special Provisions and Standard Plans, all on file in the office of the Director of Public Works (“County Engineer”). The inspection and construction of mainline sewers and pumping plants to ensure proper construction is covered under Section 20.32.590 of the LACO Code, and regulated under the City’s CMCs. The construction of house laterals is covered under the LACO Plumbing Code.

3.5 Authority to Ensure Access to Publicly Owned Portion of Lateral
The City and County do not own or maintain private lateral sewer lines. Property owners are responsible for proper installation, operation, and maintenance laterals (the pipe that connects from the building to the main) and clean-outs (which provide access to clean and repair the pipe from the building to the main). This includes laterals on the County-owned easement.

3.6 Limit the Authority to Discharge of FOG and other
Debris
The Director of Public Works under the LACO Plumbing Code, Title 28, as adopted under Ordinance No. 751-U, has the legal authority to require the installation of grease interceptors at restaurants and other food establishments that generate grease. Section

20.36.560 of LACO Code also gives the Director of Public Works the authority to require the installation of treatment facilities, including grease interceptors, at any facility that generates FOG in the amount that will damage or increase the maintenance costs of the sewer collection system.

The City’s adoption of LACO Code Section 20.24.090 gives the Director of Public Works the legal authority to inspect mainline sewers, sewage pumping plants, interceptors, etc., as often as he deems necessary, to ascertain whether such facilities are maintained and operated in accordance with the provisions of Division 2 of the LACO Code.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works

Authority to Enforce Violations of Sewer Ordinances.

Under Section 20.24.100 of the LACO Code, as adopted by the City under Ordnance No. 751-U, the Director of Public Works is empowered to enforce all of the requirements prescribed in Division 2 – Sanitary Sewers and Industrial Waste of the Code and in accordance with Section 20.24.110 may delegate this authority. LACO Code Section

20.24.160 allows criminal penalties for any violations of the Sewer and Industrial Waste Ordinances.

3.7 Authority to Obtain Easement Accessibility Agreements When Applicable
Title 20, Division 2 of the LACO Code, as adopted by the City under Ordinance 751-U, gives the LACPW the legal right to set requirements that allow unrestricted maintenance access to the public sewer infrastructure. This access is secured through the LACPW unwavering enforcement of the requirement for sewer easements around all public sewer appurtenances located in private properties. These easements are detailed by the designer on the sewer construction plans and are reviewed through the iterative plan check process. Plan checkers take special care to ensure that maintenance crews will have room for access and equipment usage for both routine maintenance and replacement or repair construction as necessary. Title 20 requires easements to be free of obstruction, and this is reiterated on all sewer plans that contain easements. The potential for conflict or restriction of access is reviewed exhaustively during plan check.

4 Operation and Maintenance Program

4.1 Up-to-Date Map of the Collection System
LACPW gathers as-built plans and compiles into a central Document Management System, CADD System, and GIS system maintained by the Districts. The City utilizes GIS and paper copy maps for maintaining as-built maps and the LACPW collects a copy for maintenance operations. Data gathered from the plans, such as system locations and alignment, pipe material, size, etc., are stored in LACPWs Computer-Aided Design and Drafting System and GIS.

4.1.1 Procedures for Maintaining and Providing Access to Water Boards Staff
LACPW provides access to up-to-date maps of the sewer system via:
• Interactive GIS-maps
• Electronically available as-builts
• Printed and electronically available Map Books
GIS Maps
The interactive GIS-based map of the sewer system is available online on the LACPWs and City’s websites:
• https://dpw.lacounty.gov/smd/sewernetwork/
• https://gisindustry.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/e39d8da8a7534288a3a83a3fb83ffdd6_64/expl ore?location=34.018000%2C-117.935100%2C12
Within GIS, the Districts maintains a mapping system as seen in Figure 4-1 that includes sewer features such as pipe or manhole location, diameter, material, flow direction, etc.

The system includes map base layers such as aerial images, streets, parcels, and storm drain systems also available from other Divisions within LACPW and other governmental agencies. The maps are regularly updated to reflect any changes in the system. Once Cityworks is implemented, valves will be included into the system map.

Figure 4-1: CSMD Sewer Network Map
Sewer As-Builts
Sewer as-builts can be obtained from the City and/or LACPW. To retrieve the as-builts, LACPW has provided detailed instructions on how to locate the as-builts for a desired sewer line on the SMD webpage. Using the sewer network map to obtain the overlay operation map book, the map book lists the as-built sewer plan number that can be searched on LACPWs Land Record Site, see Figure 4-2. The City maintains original asbuilts of sewers at City Hall.

The sewer as-builts are located on LACPWs Land Record site:

Figure 4-3: Operations Map Overview Map

4.1.2 Availability of Up-to-Date Mapping to Support Collection System Management
LACPWs print map books for sewer maintenance crews to use in the field for locating sewer infrastructure. When discrepancies are identified in sewer mapping, crews note them on printed map pages or through GIS on a phone and forward them to SMD GIS resources for updates. Field crews have access to both paper maps and the GIS phone application, depending on their preference.

Cityworks will eventually be downloaded onto cell phones and new LACPWs tablets, allowing crews to access facility information in real-time and log operation and maintenance activities directly into the system. The City’s GIS is continually being updated to include up to date sewer infrastructure maps of the system.

4.2 Preventive Maintenance Program
LACPWs maintenance services are provided from six maintenance yards strategically located within the County of Los Angeles for efficient management of maintenance activities including Spills and other emergencies. A map showing locations of the field maintenance yards and pump stations in Appendix D.

The cornerstone of LACPWs maintenance operation is the preventive maintenance program as described in LACPWs training guide maintained in each of the field maintenance yards. This program consists of regular inspection of the sewer system including manholes, pipes, siphons, pump stations (although no pump stations in the City), treatment plants, regular cleaning, repair, and related activities. This program is designed and carried out to detect and correct potential problems before they develop into major problems. The preventative maintenance program is implemented through the following key activities:
• CCTV Inspection
• Sewer Line and Manhole Visual Inspection
• Gas Trap Manholes and Siphons
• Drop Manholes
• Sewer Line Cleaning
• Root Foaming
• Periodic Maintenance
• Vermin and Odor Control
The Preventive Maintenance program utilizes LACPWs Sewer Maintenance Division Maintenance and Operations Manual, which describes these activities in detail. This manual is available on the SMD’s webpage:
• https://dpw.lacounty.gov/sewer/maintenanceandoperationmanual.pdf For each activity, the tasks and their frequency are determined either periodically, while others are determined based on inspection findings and yard determinations. The descriptions of inspection and maintenance activities and the frequencies for each activity are detailed below.

4.2.1 CCTV Inspection
Closed-circuit television (“CCTV”) inspections of sewer pipes are conducted to investigate and diagnose issues. Factors such as maintenance history, past overflow records, sewer line locations, and age are used to determine which pipes will be televised.

Additionally, LACPW implements CCTV inspections at a programmatic level through the Condition Assessment Program. This program aims to perform CCTV inspections and structurally rate approximately 500 miles of sewer infrastructure each year. Inspections are prioritized based on the number of spills per 100 miles for each jurisdiction.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works

4.2.2 Sewer Line and Manhole Visual Inspection
The interior and exterior of manholes are inspected twice a year for any structural defects, sewage flow condition, presence of vermin or rodents, deleterious industrial waste, odors, and any signs of unusual settlement around or evidence of debris within the manholes and along sewer alignments.

4.2.3 Gas Trap Manholes and Siphons
In the south area, gas traps are inspected and cleared of any stoppages or flow restrictions every 6 months. In other parts of the County, they are inspected and cleared of any blockages on a monthly basis. Siphons may differ in timeframe depending on the type of lines but are generally performed monthly.

4.2.4 Drop Manholes
These facilities are inspected and cleared of stoppages and flow restrictions on a variable frequency and is dependent on prior inspection. The inspection cycle of the drop manholes aligns with the manhole inspection cycle in Section 4.2.2.

4.2.5 Sewer Line Cleaning
Sewer lines are cleaned by hydro jet or rodding. Frequency of cleaning is based on inspection records. Sewer lines known to accumulate grease, garbage grinds, or sand are put on monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual cleaning schedule and those prone to root growth are periodically rodded or chemically treated.

4.2.6 Root Foaming
Root foaming is performed on main sewer lines based on root intrusion and need, usually associated with overflowing. The frequency of root foaming is initially 1 year, then increases to an 18-to-24-month frequency.

4.2.7 Periodic Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance (“PM”s) are sites that require higher-frequency cleanings due to maintenance issues. These "hot spots" are identified in the field during maintenance and inspections of sewer facilities and are often caused by debris, root intrusion, or other factors. Segments that experience spills are also added under periodic maintenance.

4.2.8 Vermin and Odor Control
When evidence of infestations is observed during an inspection or a service request or complaint is received, sewers and structures are dusted or baited. Sewers infested by insects are chemically treated.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 32

4.2.9 Treatment Plants and Pumping Stations
The majority of the LACPWs pump stations are equipped with SCADA/alarm systems and are inspected at least once a week. Pumps and motors are lubricated, control mechanisms and valves are checked and adjusted as necessary, and equipment is repaired or modified as required.

Treatment Plants are inspected daily to comply with permit-required sampling and testing and perform routine maintenance. The equipment is cleaned and calibrated, and mechanical components and process units are checked. This is included for reference, as no pump station or treatment plant are located in the City.

4.3 Scheduling and Data Collection
Historically, LACPW generated and tracked work orders using the Maximo maintenance management system. The LACPW is in the process of implementing Cityworks maintenance management system to schedule and track maintenance activities. The activities the field crew performs are recorded in various forms such as service requests, cleaning reports, sewer maintenance daily reports, manhole adjustments, overflow report forms, etc., and are stored in the maintenance management system. All the asset inventory documenting maintenance activities and data collected are transferred over to the Cityworks maintenance management system to aid in the electronic filing and tracking.

4.4 Training
LACPWs staff responsible for the operation and maintenance of the sewer collection system attend formalized training classes or seminars provided by agencies such as California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“CALOSHA”), California Water Environment Association (“CWEA”), and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (“IBEW”). Through this training, staff are well-versed in the latest industry, the best practices for safely and efficiently performing their tasks. Training is required for new staff and when new procedures are introduced.

LACPW also utilizes informal training approaches, including tailgate meetings, monthly safety meetings, and apprenticeship training programs led by higher-level staff. New Legally Responsible Officials and staff responsible for submitting data are informally instructed by an internal reporting expert. Additionally, only companies with well-trained and experienced staff are considered for either emergency spill mitigation or sewer construction and rehabilitation work.

The Sewer Operations Superintendents manage field operations and maintenance activities and are responsible for making sure all collection system field employees receive training in emergency response, spill investigation, and spill reporting duties. LACPW maintains records for all Spill Emergency Response Plan (“SERP”)-related training. The date, content, trainers, and attendees are recorded for all scheduled training courses.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 33
With regards to spill response training and spill volume estimation training, the field crews operate a large system with enough spill events to provide opportunities for senior crew members to provide live-drill training for new and less experienced staff. When these events occur, new crew members are invited to observe until they can perform activities on their own. This on-the-job training involves shadowing experienced crew members and learning directly on site, rather than through drills.

To estimate spill volume, the LACPW uses three methods most regularly: eyeball, measure volume, duration and flowrate. The District Staff preparing the estimate employ the method most appropriate to the sewer spill in question and use the best information available.

4.5 Equipment Inventory
The maintenance crews are equipped with standard industry technologies including radio equipped trucks for easy communication, cellular phones, heavy and light construction equipment, vacuum trucks, pumps, generators, trucks equipped with closed-circuit television units for interior inspection of sewer lines, and various types of safety equipment.

Equipment is regularly checked, adjusted, repaired, or replaced as necessary. However, major fixed assets are replaced when they meet or exceed LACPW established fixed assets replacement criteria based on the age of the equipment, mileage, hours of use, repair history, etc.

Equipment categorized as Class 9 (less than ¼ ton) or lower is automatically replaced by the Fleet Management Group when it meets the replacement criteria. The request to replace equipment higher than Class 9 is made as part of LACPW annual budget. In addition to the above replacement criteria, an analysis and recommendation by trained staff of LACPW and approval by LACPWs administration is required to replace equipment higher than Class 9.

The City has acquired basic first responder equipment. The City’s field operations team coordinates with the crews of LA County in responses, however, the City field operations team maintains absorbent socks to contain spills in the event of arriving to a sewer system overflow first.

5 Design and Performance Provisions

5.1 Design and Construction Standards and Specifications The City requires that all sewers be designed in accordance with LACPWs standards. The LACPW has standard plans and specifications for the construction of sanitary sewers and appurtenances to ensure that sewer lines and connections are properly designed and constructed. The LACPW specifications by reference incorporate the:
• Standard Plans for Public Works Construction;
• Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (“Green Book”); • Standard Plans Public Works 2000 Edition;
• Special Provisions; and
• Standard Drawings.

In addition, LACPW has other publications such as the Private Contract Sanitary Sewer Procedural Manual, Guidelines for the Design of Pump Stations, etc., to maintain consistency in the design of collection systems within the City/CSMD.

The City requires that these publications also be followed in the design of sewer systems within the City. To further ensure that sewer facilities are properly designed, the City requires construction drawings to be prepared by licensed engineers. The construction drawings are thoroughly reviewed by the City and SMDs engineers prior to approval for construction and inspection of the actual construction work. SMD review plans to ensure that appropriate maintenance standards are integrated into the design from a maintenance standpoint only.

5.2 Procedures and Standards for Inspecting and Testing System Improvements
To further assure that sewer facilities are properly designed and constructed, the LACPW requires that sanitary sewer plans are designed by licensed engineers and provides thorough review of plans prior to approval for and conducting inspection of construction work. Each city within CSMD has its own design and construction standards and requirements. Prior to accepting a newly completed sewer system for maintenance, each city is responsible for assuring sewers are designed and constructed to standard. The following procedures are used to ensure compliance with LACPW standards for portions of the system designed and constructed in unincorporated areas:

The following procedures are used to ensure compliance with LACPW standards for portions of the system designed and constructed within the City:
• The City provides inspection by outsourcing to qualified consultants for the inspection of new sewer construction projects. The City requires that as-built plans of the completed projects be submitted prior to final approval for acceptance of sewer facilities for public use.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 36
• Within the City new sewers, as well as sewer lines rehabilitated by lining, be televised and the video reviewed by SMD’s personnel prior to the acceptance of the completed project.
• In compliance with LACPWs policy, the City requires that all new or rehabilitated pumping stations be inspected by experienced SMD Electro-Mechanics prior to acceptance for maintenance by the SMD.
• LACPWs inspectors are well trained in pipeline and pump station construction.

They attend training classes and educational seminars to stay familiar with advancements in the industry. The inspectors are also provided with adequate materials to perform their jobs, including the Standard Specification for Public Works Construction Inspection Manual, the Green Book, etc.

7 Sewer Pipe Blockage Control Program

7.1 Program Overview
Analysis of sewer overflows over the last 3 years indicates an average of 83 percent of spills within the City collection system are linked to roots, vandalism, and others either as a primary or secondary cause factor. Between 2022 and 2025, an average of 9 percent of spills were linked to grease accumulation and 9 percent linked to debris accumulation. To prevent the build-up of fats, oils and grease (“FOG”) that can cause blockages and restrictions in flow, the City has implemented a FOG program to prevent sewage overflows into the environment, as well as to reduce the discharge of FOG to the sewer system.

The City’s Public Works (“PW”) department is responsible for performing fats, oils, and grease source control inspections of food service establishments (“FSE”s). Furthermore, as to the industrial wastewater discharge into the sewer system from non-FSA facilities, the Los Angeles County Sanitation District regulates industrial waste disposal on behalf of the City.

The City’s PW department issues a Domestic Wastewater Clearance permit (“DWWC”) found on the City website, where a pretreatment device may be required:
• https://industryca.portal.opengov.com/categories/1072/record-types/6471 The website provides FOG guidelines, standard drawings for grease pretreatment devices, permit forms, and details on EPD’s FOG program.

7.2 Implementation Plan and Schedule for Public Outreach

7.2.1 Summary of Outreach Activities
The LACPW conducts public outreach through various channels to educate the community about Fats, Oils, and Grease management:
• Community Events: LACPW participates in resource fairs, park events, and Earth Day- themed events, where staff distribute FOG brochures and answer questions from the community.
• Website Resources: The FOG page on LACPWs website provides a comprehensive list of FOG do’s and don’ts:
https://pw.lacounty.gov/SMD/grease/Index.cfm and
https://www.cityofindustry.org/179/Sewer-System-Management-Plan • Inspections: During inspections of FSEs, FOG inspectors provide educational materials on best management practices (“BMP”s) for grease traps and interceptors. Newly permitted FSEs also receive BMP materials.

By engaging with the community and FSEs through these activities, LACPW aims to promote effective FOG management practices and prevent blockages in the sewer system.

The City benefits from the LACPW community outreach benefits, and to complement the efforts, the City continues its own public education outreach programs through disseminating material to through City’s social media, website and business council. City personnel also

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 39
disseminate information to residents during meetings or while conducting right-of-way lateral work inspections.

7.2.2 Plan and Schedule of Events
The schedule of outreach activities is based on opportunities for public engagement and the frequency of FSE inspections. When an opportunity arises for SMD or the City to participate in a public event, the County’s Community and Government Relations Group (“CGRG”) notifies them. Many of these events occur annually and SMD tries to be involved if notified by the CGRG in time to coordinate. CGRG keeps track of all the events the county participates in annually, providing a summary of events at the end of the year.

FSE Outreach is timed around FSE inspections. FSE owners are provided with educational material when FOG inspectors visit to inspect grease traps and interceptors and check for any violations.

7.3 Plan and Schedule for Disposal of FOG
For the disposal of grease and other pipe-blocking substances, FSE’s must obtain a Domestic Waste Clearance permit from City PW that requires a schedule of frequent maintenance and documentation of maintenance and disposal of waste. Under the permit, grease traps are required to be maintained/pumped at the frequency required to prevent overflows, while grease traps/interceptors that can handle 750 gallons or greater require quarterly maintenance. FSEs are required to log their frequencies of maintenance and submit upon request by the City PW.

The solidified fats found in the City’s collection system during cleaning operations are trapped, collected, and taken to the maintenance yard dump bins. Once the bins are full, these and other debris collected from the system are taken to the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County facilities.

7.4 Authority to Prohibit FOG Discharges and Identify
Measures to Prevent FOG Spills

7.4.1 Authority
The legal authority and mandate to prohibit discharges of FOG into the sewer system is discussed in Chapter 3 of this document. Requirements for grease interceptors at food establishments to prevent the discharge of grease to the collection sewer system and educating the public on proper disposal methods for FOG are also discussed in this chapter.

7.4.2 Preventative Measures
The LACPW, on behalf of the City, utilize semiannual manhole inspections of all manholes and the scheduled and unscheduled sewer line cleaning, the television inspection of the interior of sewer pipes to identify pipe segments experiencing heavy grease accumulation, and in mitigating any problems. These legal mandates and maintenance practices are

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 40
complemented by the City’s and LACPW’s Public Education and Outreach Program discussed in Section 7.1 to minimize Spills and blockages caused by FOG.

7.5 FOG Program Requirements and Design Standards
A pretreatment system/device is required for any new and existing food service establishment or similar facility where FOG from food preparation is discharged into the sewer system in quantities that may cause blockages or interfere with sewage treatment or disposal. All pretreatment facilities, whether required by City PW or installed voluntarily, shall be maintained and operated under a valid DWWC for the operating life of the facility.

FOG program requirements are outlined in the DWWC Conditions and Limitations (Appendix G1) and are supported by the Pretreatment Guidelines For Restaurants And Food Service Operations.

7.5.1 Requirements to Install Grease Removal Devices
The City’s legal authorities to enforce the requirements stipulated in this Section are discussed in Chapter 3. The Director of Public Works/City Engineer has enforcement authority for industrial waste permitting per Section 20.36.040 of the LACO Code and City’s PW handles permitting and enforcement of inspections of food service establishments that discharge into the City’s sanitary sewer system. New or remodeled FSEs including those under new ownership, must also secure a DWWC permit from City PW. If there is a FOGrelated problem associated with a DWWC permit, the City will take enforcement action against the permittee. Enforcement actions include, but are not limited to the written Notices of Violations, order for pumping and cleaning of pre-treatment devices and cleaning of sewer laterals, as necessary. The City PW requires that domestic waste generating facilities of FOG and any FSE with the potential to produce grease install a grease control device (“GCD”).

The LACO Code prohibits the discharge of “any material, which may create a public nuisance, or menace to the public health or safety, or which may pollute underground or surface waters, or which may cause damage to any storm-drain channel or public or private property” (Section 20.36.010). If during inspection of the sanitary sewer system City personnel or contracted consultants determine that a FOG-related problem exists and is traceable to a domestic sewage source of such character that is not satisfactory, under the LACO Code (section 20.20.100), pretreatment could be required or the discharge required to be eliminated. Domestic waste containing FOG can lead to spills, which are public nuisances and is a violation of California Health and Safety Code Division 5, Part 3, Chapter 6, Article 2, which can also be used to impose appropriate domestic sewage discharge requirements.

7.5.2 Design Standards for Grease Removal Devices
FSEs are required to size, design and construct grease traps and interceptors according to the latest LACO Plumbing Code. Additionally, they are required to be approved, installed, and operated in a manner to control discharges of FOG into the sanitary sewer system and to ensure that the facilities do not create nuisances, menaces to the public

peace, health or safety hazards, or adverse impacts to the public sewerage system, soil, underground, and/or surface waters.

The DWWC online page on the City’s website provides standard drawings for grease pretreatment devices:
https://industryca.portal.opengov.com/categories/1072/record-types/6471

7.5.3 Maintenance Requirements
The DWWC Conditions and Limitations has a minimum maintenance frequency condition and a requirement to maintain the GCD in proper working order. During inspections, inspectors physically examine the GCD. If a grease interceptor (“GI”) is used, FSEs are required to open and inspect it. If issues are identified, they are documented, and a job order is created. The FSE signs off on the order and receives a receipt. If cleaning records are not provided, or if the GI cannot be accessed, the FSE must clean it by a specified time limit in the order. Permit conditions require:
• GIs to be cleaned at least once every three months
• FSEs with grease traps are required to perform daily maintenance

7.5.4 Best Management Practices Requirements

7.5.5 The Pretreatment Guidelines for Restaurants and Food Service Operations provide guidelines and best management practices for selecting and installing pretreatment devices. These guidelines outline the installation requirements for grease interceptors and offer a list of alternative pretreatment devices that can be used in lieu of a grease interceptor.

During inspections, inspectors verify whether best management practices are being followed, such as maintaining proper documentation, using adequate devices, and employing appropriate disposal methods. Inspectors may distribute flyers outlining the dos and don’ts of fog management and request that these flyers be displayed at workstations for workers to see.

7.5.6 Record Keeping and Reporting Requirements
As a condition of the DWWC permit, FSEs must record the maintenance of grease trap/interceptors on a maintenance log report. The log records date of the service performed, types of services performed, and person/company providing service.

Additionally, for any liquid or solid industrial wastes transported from the site, FSEs must obtain and keep copies of receipts for grease trap/interceptor maintenance and pumping for at least 180 days.

The maintenance log report and receipts shall be made available to the City upon request.

7.5.7 Procedures
LACPW, on behalf of the City, implements the following procedure to identify and manage sections of the system impacted by FOG blockages:
• Identification: Sections impacted by FOG blockages are identified through regular inspections conducted by cleaning crews, CCTV inspections, and reports of spills.
• Investigation: Once identified, these sections are thoroughly investigated to assess the extent of the blockages and determine the appropriate actions needed to address them.
• Maintenance: Based on the investigation findings, a periodic cleaning schedule is defined and implemented for each affected section to ensure ongoing maintenance and prevent future blockages.

7.6 Inspection and Enforcement Program

7.6.1 Authority to Inspect Grease Producing Facilities
As discussed in Chapter 3 of this document, Section 20.36.400 of the LACO Code provides legal authority to inspect FOG-producing facilities, prohibiting the discharge of substances that may obstruct or require frequent maintenance of the sewer system. Section 17.36.080 of the City’s municipal code authorizes the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to issue a clearance for all domestic and permit for industrial waste discharges. This provides the Director of Public Works/City Engineer with the authority to inspect grease-producing facilities for compliance with permit requirements and pursue enforcement of any code violations.

The source control inspection process follows a standard workflow, including researching plans, preparing for the inspection, reviewing operations, and requesting GCD maintenance documentation. Inspectors may ask questions about waste oil management, changes in operations that affect the permit, and maintenance frequency. They also check for compliance with Best Management Practices such as ensuring BMP posters are visible in the kitchen. Inspectors document their findings and enter data into the City’s GIS database.

When SMD encounters, on behalf of the City, FOG issues in the collection system whether from spills CCTV inspections or sewer cleaning, the source of the problem is evaluated as either residential, commercial, or both. For residential spills, SMD or City Staff may notify residents door-to-door, providing information on proper grease disposal practices. For recurring issues, the affected area is placed on a preventive maintenance schedule.

In the case of commercial spills, the incident is referred to City PW for investigation. City PW checks GCD maintenance and requires corrective actions when needed. If a FSE without a GCD is responsible for a spill, City PW mandates the installation of a GCD. If FSE equipped with a GCD causes a spill, more frequent maintenance may be required.

All investigations are documented in the City’s GIS database, and results are communicated to SMD, as needed.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 43

7.6.2 Authority to Enforce
City PW inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation or Order to Comply with a set deadline.

Follow-up inspections verify compliance, and unresolved issues may be escalated to City Staff. Upon further non-compliance efforts by the FSE’s, compliance issues are referred to the City Manager’s office for further action.

7.6.3 Resource Plan to Inspect and Enforce
City PW has sufficient inspection and enforcement staffing to achieve an annual FSE inspection cycle and follow up on requirements and violations identified. City Staff will monitor current funding and budget for the future accordingly based on the year-to-year expenses related to inspection and enforcement.

7.7 Maintenance Program to Address FOG Issues
As described in Section 4, FOG prone sections of the Districts’ collection system, referred to as “hot spots,” are identified during routine maintenance operations and investigation of stoppages and spills in the City. These portions of the system found to have persistent FOG problems are put on monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual periodic cleaning schedule, depending on the magnitude of the problem. Furthermore, segments of the collection system with persistent FOG problems are referred to the Environmental Programs Division of the Department of Public Works for additional investigation and enforcement actions and discussed with the City for further enforcement and inspection.

7.8 Implementation of Source Control Measures to Address FOG Issues

7.8.1 Summary of Source Control Measures
Pretreatment devices are used to remove grease from sewage to prevent the accumulation of FOG that can lead to blockages. The City, in addition to the County SMD, provides pretreatment guidelines to FSEs, offering guidance on how to adequately select, size, and install a pretreatment device based on the amount of grease produced. The maintenance of these devices is outlined in the DWWC to ensure proper operation and functionality.

Under the DWWC, the City or County, in support of the City, may require upgrades to grease interceptors if maintenance is inadequate or if the interceptor is too small to handle the waste stream.

7.8.2 Summary of Source Control Program Enforcement
City PW conducts routine inspections of FSEs and inspects new establishments.

Investigations are also performed when spills occur. When the responding County SMD crew receives complaints and determines that FOG may have caused a spill or has the potential to cause a spill (e.g., grease accumulation), they reach out to City PW for further investigation. Upon investigation, the City may make adjustments to the DWWC permit and treatment requirements to prevent such incidents and/or place the impacted area under periodic maintenance as described in Section 4.2.7. Under the DWWC permit, the

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 44
City, and with input from the County, may modify the DWWC permit and its conditions and limitations, as necessary, to ensure proper waste disposal.

8 System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance and
Capital Improvements
The LACPW has implemented procedures for system evaluation, capacity assurance, investment prioritization, and capital improvement planning. This section documents the procedures and activities for:
• Routine evaluation and assessment of system conditions; • Capacity assessment and design criteria;
• Prioritization of corrective actions; and
• Capital improvement planning.

8.1 System Evaluation and Condition Assessment

8.1.1 Best Practices and New Technology
LACPW uses CCTV as the primary tool for condition assessment of pipelines which is in accordance with industry standards for small diameter pipelines. Use of CCTV is the industry best practice for sewer pipeline condition assessment given the pipe size range (8-inch to 36-inch) the County owns and operates.

8.1.2 Amount of System Condition Assessment
Under the Condition Assessment Program (“CAP”), SMD plans to perform CCTV inspections at a rate of approximately 500 miles of sewer infrastructure each year starting in 2025. The complete cycle is scheduled to last a total of approximately 10 years, with the period between inspections dependent upon age and results from the last inspection.

Newer pipe segments found to be in good condition in the prior inspection will have a low priority in the next inspection cycle. SMD inspects all manholes twice a year.

8.1.3 Inspection and Condition Assessment Prioritization Historically, LACPWs CAP prioritized condition assessment projects based on jurisdiction/cities with ordering based on spill rate. The assessment prioritized sewer lines with the most potential for repair needs based on maintenance history, past overflow records, sewer line locations, and age. Based on the reissued General Order LACPW will incorporate additional factors into condition assessment prioritization. These include areas that:
• Hold a high level of environmental consequences if vulnerable to collapse, failure, blockage, capacity issues, or other system deficiencies; • Are located in or within the vicinity of surface waters, steep terrain, high groundwater elevations, and environmentally sensitive areas; • Are within the vicinity of receiving water with a bacterial-related impairment on the most current Clean Water Act section 303(d) List;

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 46
The LACPW plans to develop and implement an approach to incorporate these factors into condition assessment prioritization by May 2027.

8.1.4 Inspection Methods
The LACPW uses CCTV inspection as the primary means for collecting visual observations of system conditions. This CCTV inspection program digitally records the condition of the pipe interior from manhole to manhole using a robotic camera tethered to a camera van.

While the video is being captured, a National Association of Sewer Service Companies (“NASSCO”) Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) certified crew member views and logs events such as defects and observations using the standardized NASSCO PACP observation codes. With GraniteNet, the digital video inspections files are transferred via cloud enabling access to anyone with credentials and password access using a laptop or mobile device.

In addition to CCTV inspection, visual inspection is conducted on sewer facilities during sewer system maintenance activities. In the past, a field crew would document visual observations and system issues on a form to trigger follow up inspections and repair actions. With the implementation of Cityworks, field crews now provide these observations electronically using mobile devices for immediate communication to SMD Superintendents and Supervisors to trigger follow-on actions to address issues.

8.1.5 Utilizing Observations for Condition Assessment
The LACPW utilizes the NASSCO rating system to identify defects and observations using PACP observation codes. The City plans to continue using the NASSCO PACP condition rating for sewer pipelines and is planning to incorporate the MACP for manhole condition assessments. The LACPW prioritizes repairs of critical structural defects. These include NASSCO PACP Structural Grade 5 defects with potential for soil migration and undermining of pipe bedding leading to pipe movement and having potential for accelerated deterioration (i.e., pipe collapse, broken void visible, broken soil visible, hole void visible, hole soil visible, missing wall, and severe offsets impeding flow). These types of defects also have potential for leakage. Other less severe NASSCO PACP Structural Grade 5 and NASSCO PACP Structural Grade 4 defects are not prone to leakage due to collimation and sealing of the defects with sedimentation and biological growth.

Throughout Los Angeles County, historical rivers and creeks have been concrete-lined or replaced with storm drainage piping. The LACPW is not aware of any locations in the CSMD service area where there is potential for subsurface leakage reaching water of the State.

The LACPW also performs visual inspections weekly at pump stations to verify the pumps are performing well, are properly maintained, and are in compliance with standards. If issues are identified, they are addressed via a corrective maintenance work order or elevated to be included in a project.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 47

8.1.6 Inspection and Assessment Recordkeeping
LACPW documents and recordkeeping of system evaluation and condition assessment inspections and activities have historically been maintained using WinCan software with videos stored on LACPW servers. LACPW recently transitioned to using GraniteNet, a cloud-based CCTV software, which will enable access to CCTV data and videos to anyone with password access and credentials from mobile devices or laptops connected to the internet.

In the past, when field crews conduct visual inspections during maintenance activities, system deficiencies requiring action were recorded as footnotes on forms for replacements, repairs, and issue identification. Once the Cityworks is implemented, field crews can use mobile devices to document these issues in the Cityworks Maintenance Management System to better manage and keep record of findings and address issues.

8.1.7 Assessing Assets Vulnerable to Climate Change
The District’s service area has sections of the system that are susceptible to climate change impacts from flooding, landslides, wildfires, and power disruptions that may cause service disruptions. LACPW plans to develop and implement procedures to identify and address system assets vulnerable to direct and indirect impacts of climate change by November 2027, including but not limited to:
• Sea level rise
• Flooding and/or erosion due to increased storm volumes, frequency, and/or intensity
• Wildfires
• Increased power disruptions
LACPW has an overarching Emergency Response Plan for addressing large-scale emergency events. These procedures provide comprehensive guidelines for personnel to effectively respond to various emergency situations including communication directives, preparatory assignments, and specific actions for different types of emergencies.

Specific Emergency Procedures related to climate change include:
• Earthquake Response Procedures
• Fire Response Procedures
• Storm Response Procedures
• Electrical Power and Telecommunication Outage
• Tsunami (Large Wave) and High Tide Procedures
• Sewage Leakage and Overflows
• Air Pollution Emergency Response Procedures
• Land Movement and Rockslide Response

8.2 Capacity Assessment and Design Criteria

8.2.1 Gravity Facilities
The City is responsible for confirming that newly constructed pipelines are constructed with adequate hydraulic capacity. A study is required for each development to analyze the capacity of the existing system and will set forth mitigation requirements for developers to ensure adequate capacity sizing of proposed sewer lines to accommodate the current design and future base, peak, and wet weather flows.

CSMD member cities are responsible for capacity assurance within their jurisdictional boundaries.

A preliminary assessment determines whether a sewer area study is required, based on zoning and acreage to estimate the load. If the estimated load exceeds thresholds, a sewer area study is triggered. Sewer load calculations are lot-based, determined using parcel size and zoning type. A standard measure, such as cubic feet per second (cfs) per acre, is used, with flow rates varying by zoning type. This methodology results in sewer lines are designed to handle the specific load for each parcel. Increased densification due to new zoning or development to full capacity may necessitate resizing existing sewer pipes.

For all new projects impacting the capacity of the public sewer system, the LACPW requires the submission of a sewer area study. The capacity assessment assumes an ideal system with no illegal connections and uses a design criterion of ½-full pipe capacity as adequate for lines smaller than 15-inch in diameter, and ¾-full pipe for lines 15-inch and greater. Reports are submitted and reviewed through a plan check process.

The sewer area study procedure and support materials for the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County can be found on the Land Development Division website:
• https://pw.lacounty.gov/ldd/lddservices/sewerAreaStudy/sewerAreaStudy.shtml The City is responsible for ensuring that the public sewer infrastructure is correctly designed, adequately sized, and easily maintained. LACPW provides a supporting role in reviewing all proposed sewer plans for new developments in the City to ensure that they conform to LACPWs design standards and to ensure that requirements for acceptability for maintenance are met.

The Director of Public Works/City Engineer or hired qualified private company provides thorough review of all sewer plans for proposed development projects in the City to ensure that (1) they are properly designed with sufficient capacity for current and future base, peak, and wet-weather flow demands; and (2) any impact of proposed project on existing sewer system is mitigated prior to being approved by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. During construction, the projects are continuously inspected by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer or hired construction inspectors to ensure that sewer facilities are constructed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.

8.2.2 Pressure Facilities
Pump stations within the City and LACPW are designed for full buildout and include redundancy in controls and pumping systems. If developers seek to connect additional

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 49
tracts, they must hire an engineer to evaluate the pump station’s capacity needs. Flow studies are conducted on a case-by-case basis through the permitting process. Sewer line flow measurements are performed to assess the capacity of lines suspected of being surcharged. These measurements are straightforward for established sewer systems, though more remote systems require additional permissions for access.

8.2.3 Infiltration and Inflow
The assessment of increased infiltration and inflow (I/I) is conducted in collaboration with LACSD. LACSD performs studies to identify sources of I/I into their system, which may include LACPWs collection systems, potentially triggering an assessment of LACPWs system. Mitigation strategies include sealing manholes and sewer lining, LACPW with LACSD providing the sealant and lining materials. Additionally, LACSD and LACPW develop a list of manholes affected by I/I. LACSD typically requests that manholes be sealed and peepholes corked. Sampling and analysis are performed as needed.

8.2.4 Erosive Forces in Canyons and Streams
The LACPW mitigates erosive forces for pipelines crossing or near rivers and streams by requiring these pipelines to be concrete encased. The methods of encasement are defined in LACPWs Design Standards Manual.

8.2.5 Design Flow and Weather Events
The system is designed according to LACPWs Design Standards to accommodate dry weather peak flow conditions and design storm and wet weather events. Approximately 91 percent of pipelines in CSMD system are 8-inch vitrified clay pipes and approximately 8 percent are 10-inch to 15-inch diameter. The City has approximately 55 percent of pipes that are 8-inch vitrified clay pipes, approximately 44 percent are 9-inch to 18-inch diameter, and approximately 1 percent is 19-inch to 36-inch diameter. These pipelines collect flows from small sewer catchment areas and convey the flows to the nearest LACSD trunk sewers for conveyance to an LACSD treatment plant for treatment and disposal.

8.2.6 Capacity Assessment Data
When performing sewer capacity studies within the City’s boundary, developers can obtain reference data for the development of sewer studies and capacity assessments directly from the City. LACPWs Land Development Division (“LDD”) can assist upon request from the City.

When performing sewer capacity studies within the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, developers can obtain reference data for the development of sewer studies and capacity assessments on LDD’s website. The website provides guidance on the approval process, links to information such as as-builts and sewer locators, and examples of required documents. If contractors need additional information, they may reach out to LDD directly to request any additional materials.

The LDD collects, maintains, and archives all sewer studies and flow data performed, and can provide this information upon request. Additionally, LDD has access to and can provide information as needed from sewer pipeline condition assessments, system

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 50
inspections, spill history, and other available data used to assess system deficiencies and identify necessary system repairs and rehabilitation.

There is no pump station located within the City.

8.2.7 Capacity Enhancement Plan
The Sewer Collection System Capacity Enhancement Program is a combined effort between the City and LACPW. LACPWs Capacity Enhancement Plan focuses on managing infiltration and inflow (I/I) by requiring proper system design through plan checks, careful inspection during construction, and the use of appropriate pipe materials.

After installation, multiple strategies are employed to identify and eliminate I/I sources where feasible. Detection strategies include visual inspections, CCTV, and smoke and dye testing.
• If the sources are due to illicit connections such as sump pumps, roof drainage, surface water diversion into a manhole, etc., applicable laws are enforced to eliminate them.
• Significant structural issues like collapses, breaks, holes, or severe offsets are corrected through repair, replacement, or lining.
• Maintenance issues such as grease accumulation and debris are addressed through regular sewer line cleaning, and flow measurements are used to assess the capacity of sewer lines suspected of surcharging.

8.3 Prioritization of Corrective Actions
LACPW prioritizes corrective action based on:
• Likelihood of failure which is determined from findings of condition assessment (e.g., prioritizing NASSCO PACP rating, 4 and 5) and;
• Consequence of failure (e.g., proximity to water body, railroad, road type, and easement)
• Areas with multiple priority segments to factor in areas to be repaired at a time Based on the condition grading and observed defects, LACPW prioritizes sewer segments for remediation. NASSCO PACP Structural Grade 5 defects are significant structural deficiencies. Pipe segments with these defects are placed on a repair list with the highest priority focused on pipes with NASSCO PACP Structural Grade 5 defects prone to accelerated deterioration. Sewer repairs are also prioritized based on maintenance history, past overflow records, sewer line locations, and age as they contribute to the likelihood and severity of spills.

8.4 Capital Improvement Plan
Responsibility for capital improvements varies based on the type of improvement required.

For new sewer installations, collection systems owned by the Cities receive funding from the City. New connections and capacity-related improvements in unincorporated areas are funded and constructed by the developers, including construction contracting (refer to

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 51
Section 8.2). The County provides oversight throughout the design and construction of the capacity related improvements, including review and acceptance during permitting, design reviews, and construction. The Design Division is responsible for developing the design criteria for CIP projects, and Project Management Division III manages the development, design and construction. The Land Development Division manages the County Improvement Projects in unincorporated areas, including tracking budget, scope, and schedule.

The City manages their own CIP schedule, tracking budget, scope, design, and construction of new connections and capacity-related improvements within their boundary.

For rehabilitation and repair, the Districts manage and funds projects for both City systems and unincorporated areas. The Districts focuses on lining and emergency point repairs for damaged pipes to maintain operations and reduce the risk of sewer spills.

Most repairs are delivered through on-call contracts, including work on gravity mains, force mains, pump stations, and treatment plants. The Accumulative Capital Outlay Program (ACO) and special zones fund the repair and maintenance of SMD facilities.

8.4.1 Accumulative Capital Outlay Program
The Accumulative Capital Outlay (“ACO”) Program fund was established in 1987 as a mechanism to pay for sewer pipe replacements, relief sewer construction, and maintenance improvements to sewage pumping stations. The objectives of the fund are to establish a charge to be collected from each parcel of real property in the CSMD and utilize these monies for sewer line repair and rehabilitation projects (emergency or scheduled).

Additionally, some deteriorated lines are discovered during preventive maintenance of our sewer lines. These lines are either immediately repaired by force account, using emergency contractors, or added to the list of future ACO projects. Table 8-1 lists the contracts under the ACO program as of May 5, 2025.

All sewer pipe segments within the District’s service areas found to have significant structural deficiencies will continue to be repaired or rehabilitated under the ACO program.

Table 8-1: ACO Program Contract List (County Only)
Projects Name Amount Start Date End Date
Fountain Springs Pump Station 1,214,199 Sept, 2026 Sept, 2028 San Dimas Pump Station 1,214,199 January, 2026 April, 2027 On-Call As-Needed Contract 62,202,057 Est. July 2025 Est. July 2030

8.4.2 Joint Coordination and Interagency Coordination
The majority of collection system improvements are managed by Sewer Maintenance Division staff using resources from on-call contracts for planning, design, and

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 52
construction. In some cases, projects are managed by PMD III. In either case, coordination between operation and maintenance staff, County engineering staff, consultants and contractors occur throughout the planning, design and construction phases of project delivery. Project delivery incorporates coordination meetings and milestone deliverable reviews by all stakeholders.

Early in the project delivery process, impacted agencies and entities are identified to initiate communication and permitting to streamline project delivery. This includes communication and coordination with CSMD Cities if the work is being performed on their collection system. Another primary impact agency is LACSD, since there are numerous connections between LACPWs collection systems and LACSD trunk sewers. LACPW also coordinate with the City of Los Angeles and Las Virgenes when necessary, when working in areas where their systems connect to LACPWs systems.

Other impacted entities can include Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Fish and Wildlife, railroads, schools, neighboring cities, or CSMD member cities. Collaboration helps align project planning, and resource allocation for engineering, design, and construction. Regular communication, data sharing, and joint meetings support the coordination of timelines, permitting, and infrastructure improvements while reducing conflicts across jurisdictions. All coordination of stakeholders and community engagement is managed by LDD staff.
9 Monitoring, Measurement and Program
Modifications

9.1 Maintenance of Information to Prioritize SSMP Activities Relevant information for prioritization of SSMP activities is collected in an array of information systems, databases, and spreadsheets.
• WinCan and GraniteNet are used to video and log events from CCTV inspection.

WinCan is the legacy repository. LACPW recently implemented GraniteNet and will be using GraniteNet for all future inspections.
• Historically, LACPW documented maintenance activities in the field using paper forms and work orders and later entered into Maximo. LACPW is transitioning from Maximo to Cityworks for management of maintenance activities. The implementation of Cityworks will streamline data collection and improve asset management efficiency.
• FOG inspection activities are recorded on paper and stored in the HMS database. • Spill data is stored in the State Water Resources Control Board’s CIWQS database and SMD internal PowerBI database. Productivity reports documenting and summarizing the work performed per City can be generated by PowerBI. • Previous audits findings are documented in an Audit Progress Tracker updated by SMD staff.

9.2 Monitoring of Implementation and Effectiveness of the SSMP
The City and LACPW monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the SSMP through coordination of SMD staff and collection supervisors. The effectiveness of the program is primarily monitored and tracked by overall sewer overflow performance such as amount of sewer spills, spill response time, and reduction of repeated spills.

Monthly meetings between SMD Superintendents and Supervisors focus on discussing safety procedures, operational and personnel issues, and the status of spills. Additionally, productivity reports on Power BI are reviewed to track progress in meeting inspection and maintenance targets, which are set and monitored by the superintendents.

Collection supervisors meet bi-weekly to go over status and tracking of maintenance activities. These meetings serve as a forum to facilitate communication between SMD Management and SMD Superintendents and Supervisors.

9.3 Program Audits
Every three years, LACPW and the City perform an internal audit of the SSMP and the SSMP program implementation. The various LACPW and City’s divisions and positions responsible for SSMP implementation, as identified in Table 2-2a and 2-2b, are involved in the audit. Each element of the SSMP is reviewed for effectiveness towards reducing the frequency and/or mitigating the impacts of spills and for compliance with the General Order requirements. Corrective actions to address identified deficiencies are prioritized, scheduled and incorporated into division plans.

9.4 Assessment of Preventative Maintenance Program
LACPW assesses the success of its Preventative Maintenance Programs by monitoring spill trends and spill events to identify improvements in their operation. By keeping track of sewer blockages and overflow, LACPW can respond with the appropriate corrective measure and program adjustments.

9.5 Identification and Illustration of Spill trends
Data acquisition, analysis, and management of sewer spills is supported by a dynamic information management system. Spill data is visualized in SMD’s PowerBI database which allows for the identification and tracking of spill trends. PowerBI can generate spill analysis reports and figures, illustrate these trends and provide the metrics needed to identify spill trends and evaluate the overall success of the SSMP program.

This system enables LACPW to review spill performance based on frequency (seasonal variations, year-over-year comparisons), location (known problem areas, system characteristics such as pipe material and installation timeline), and volume (totals reaching surface waters, average volumes, and changes over time, which can indicate the effectiveness of response times).

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 55

9.6 Approach to Program Modifications and Plan Updates
The City and LACPW update the SSMP every six years. The update consists of:
• Reviewing the existing SSMP language and updating any outdated information.

This includes updates to staff positions, names and organizational lines of authority that have changed, changes to system characteristics such as basin areas, etc. • Incorporation of the adopted and implemented recommendations from previous SSMP program audits.

Upon completion of the six-year SSMP update, the SSMP is provided to the Board of Supervisors by LACPW and to the City Council by the City with a request for approval.

Upon acceptance by the Board for LACPW SSMP update and City Council for the City’s SSMP update, the SSMP is uploaded to the State Water Board CIWQS database and certified. SMD also posts the SSMP on the LACPW webpage and City also posts their SSMP on City’s webpage.

Sewer System Management Plan
City of Industry /Los Angeles County Public Works
| 56
10 SSMP Program Audits
LACPW and City audit the SSMP and program implementation to identify actions for improving how it manages, operates, and maintains the collection system. This process identifies the tasks and actions that are required to meet SSMP goals and defines and prioritizes them. Cities are responsible for either performing their own SSMP development and audits on their collection systems or requesting support from CSMD to complete their audit through a City Service Request.

10.1 Schedule of Program Audits and Updates
LACPW and City perform an internal audit of its SSMP every three years in accordance with General Order requirements. Every six years, LACPW and City update and recertify the SSMP. Table 10-1 shows the anticipated schedule for SSMP audits and updates for the next six years.

LACPW provide operation and maintenance services for the City’s sewer facilities; therefore, some components of the City’s audit and SSMP may be similar to LACPWs audit and SSMP update prepared in group 1.

The City’s Director of Public Works and SMD Division Manager assemble division staff and field crew personnel to perform an internal audit in accordance with the General Order requirements for Sewer System Management Plan Audits. Over the course of approximately three months, the audit team, including representatives from the divisions responsible for each SSMP section, conducts a series of in-person meetings to evaluate the effectiveness of each SSMP Part and Sub-part, identify any deficiencies, and make recommendations for improvements and updates. This process involves reviewing the program documentation in the Sewer System Management Plan, assessing current procedures and practices employed by staff, and discussing potential program modifications to enhance program effectiveness.

10.3 SSMP Audit Report
The findings from the SSMP audit are documented in an audit report. The audit report includes the following elements:
• Audit findings and recommended corrective actions;

| 57
• A statement that sewer system operators’ input on the audit findings has been considered; and
• A proposed schedule to address identified deficiencies Once the audit report is complete, a quality check review of the audit report is performed, with a focus on consistency and completeness. The final audit report is reviewed by the CSMD and City’s LRO before final acceptance. Audit reports and related materials are maintained in a hard copy and an electronic document tracking and management system.

Copies of the SSMP will be maintained in the SMD’s Alhambra Headquarters Office and all SMD Maintenance Yards and posted in the LACPWs internet site. A copy of the City’s SSMP will be maintained by the City’s Director of Public Works at 15625 Mayor Dave Way in the City of Industry and posted on City’s webpage. The document shall also be made readily available to State Water Resources Control Board or Regional Water Quality Control Board representatives upon request, to all CMSD Cities, and to the operators of any collection system or treatment facility downstream of the LACPWs system.

10.4 Audit Implementation and Tracking of Results
The SSMP program audit recommended corrective actions are incorporated into the CIP development and budgeting process to provide the necessary resources to implement audit corrective actions and recommendations. Through that process, implementation progress is measured and reported on an ongoing basis to ensure timely completion of corrective actions. Deficiencies in meeting the schedule are identified or anticipated and mitigation measures developed and implemented to manage completion of the corrective actions from the audit. Each subsequent audit update begins with a review of the previous audit to determine if the corrective action remains relevant and, if so, to reiterate the program deficiency and recommended corrective action in the current SSMP audit report.

11 Communication Program
LACPW employs a variety of means for communicating with the public and contract agencies on the development, implementation and update of the SSMP. The following sections describe LACPWs procedures for:
• Communicating with the public for spills and discharges resulting in closures of public areas, or that enter a source of drinking water. • Communicating with the public on the development, implementation, and update of its SSMP, including opportunities for public input to Plan implementation and updates.
• Owners/operators of systems that connect into the Enrollee’s system, including tributary systems, for system operation, maintenance, and capital improvementrelated activities.

11.1 Procedures to Communicate with Public for Spills and Discharges
LACPWs procedures for communication with the public for spills and discharges are included in the Spill Emergency Response Plan in Appendix F.

Within 15 minutes of receiving confirmation that a spill with the potential to reach a storm drain or public waterway has occurred, LACPWs Field Crew must contact Los Angeles County Department of Public Health through LACPWs Operator. The Department of Public Health will post and remove signage for waterways and beach closures as required and will not remove the signs until the effects of the spill have been mitigated. A public press release will be made of the temporary closure due to a spill.

Exempt Status: (check one)
 Ministerial (Sec. 21080(b)(1); 15268);
 Declared Emergency (Sec. 21080(b)(3); 15269(a));
 Emergency Project (Sec. 21080(b)(4); 15269(b)(c));
 Categorical Exemption. State type and section number: 15301 and 15308  Statutory Exemptions. State code number:

Reasons why project is exempt: This project is subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), however, it is exempt pursuant to Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines, and Section 15301. As set forth above, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works is responsible for all operation and maintenance activities of the City’s sewer collection system. The City is not responsible for any operation, maintenance or construction activities related to the system. Further, the plan does not explicitly commit the City to future construction or maintenance activities. Pursuant to Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines, actions taken by regulatory agencies to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment, are exempt from CEQA. Under the instant circumstances, the SSMP is mandated by the State Water Board to minimize future sewer system overflows in the City, thereby reducing water quality issues that could pose serious health and safety issues. Given that the SSMP is adopted for the purpose of protecting the environment, it is exempt under Section 15308.

Further, because the SSMP applies to an existing sanitary collection system, and its implementation may result in the repair or replacement of existing systems involving negligible or no expansion of capacity, the SSMP is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
