City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report

DATE: December 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Meg McWade, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE CITY HALL ROOF PROJECT, NO. CF2401 TO RITE-WAY ROOF CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $466,000.

SUMMARY
This action will award a construction contract to Rite-Way Roof Corporation in the amount of $466,000.00 for the La Verne City Hall Roof Project, CIP Project No, CF2401. Rehabilitation of the failing City Hall roof is critical for ensuring the long-term integrity and functionality of the building.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Approve plans and specifications for City Hall Roof Project, CIP Project No. CF2401;

3. Authorize staff to issue change orders not exceeding 10% of the construction budget ($46,600) for a total possible construction contract cost of $512,600.00.

DISCUSSION
The City Hall roof has experienced significant leaks over the last several years and needs to be rehabilitated. The roof is composed of a conventional tile roof system with underlayment on the perimeter exposure that is visible from the street and surrounding properties as an architectural element of the building design. The tile roof terminates at a parapet wall which aids in screening the City Hall Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning mechanical equipment. The area located behind the parapet wall utilizes a single membrane roof system common for commercial building applications.

The project scope is intended to address the existing leaks that have been encountered by replacing the existing roof materials with similar materials to ensure an abbreviated construction duration and cost efficiency. The tile roof portion of the building will be removed to then remove and replace the existing underlayment materials. The same tile has been identified to be in good condition and will be reused to minimize costs.

On November 13, 2024, the City issued a Public Notification and posted the bid opportunity for

the City Hall Roof Project through the Planet Bids System. A mandatory job walk was conducted on November 20, 2024, where interested contractors had the opportunity to inspect the site and ask questions about the scope of work. On November 26, 2024, ten sealed bids were opened for the project. The engineer’s estimate for the project construction costs was established as $450,000 for the sum of base bid and additive scope items for this project.

Following is a summary of the bid results:

The firm meets the required contractors' licensing and is not listed on the Federal Exclusion List for projects of this type. Staff also verified the Contractor’s Department of Industrial Relations registration as active at the time bids were opened.

The project will replace the roof and provide a 20-year warranty on the flat roofing system and a 20- to 30-year lifespan on the new tile roof underlayment, addressing critical repairs and safeguarding City Hall assets. Should the contract be awarded, it is anticipated the project will be finished by the end of February.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The construction contract cost, including the base scope of work and additive scope of work is $466,000.00. An additional $46,600 will be potentially utilized for design, project management, and contingencies.

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report

DATE: December 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Meg McWade, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION RECERTIFYING THE 2024 SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN.

SUMMARY
The adoption of a resolution re-certifying the 2024 Sewer System Management Plan will fulfill the requirements of the State Water Resource Control Board and provide detailed information on the maintenance of the City's sewer system and response and handling of sanitary sewer overflows.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a Resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AND RECERTIFYING THE CITY OF LA

VERNE SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN MANDATED BY THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD (SWRCB) ORDER NUMBER 2022-0103-DWQ."

DISCUSSION
In May 2006, the California State Water Resources Control Board adopted Order No. 2006- 0003, entitled "Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for Sanitary Sewer Systems," to regulate public wastewater collection (sewer) systems with the goal of reducing the number and volume of sanitary sewer overflows throughout the state. The WDR required that all public wastewater collection system agencies in California with more than one mile of sewer pipe be regulated and mandated development of a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) following WDR guidelines. The CIty developed an SSMP in 2009 in compliance with the regulation.

On December 6, 2022, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted the Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems (Order No. 2022-0103- DWQ) which amended the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) General Order 2006-0003-DWQ and the Monitoring and Reporting Program from Order WQ 2013-0058-EXEC.

Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ. As with the initial order, this change applies to all public collection system agencies in California that own or operate systems comprised of more than one mile of pipe or sewer lines, which convey untreated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility.

The updated Order includes the addition of a spill Category 4 and revises the spill Category 3.

Under this current Order, each agency is required to update its SSMP every six years and perform an audit at least every three years after the date of the last SSMP Update.

A Sewer System Management Plan (Plan) is a living planning tool that documents ongoing local sewer system management program activities, procedures, and decision-making based on the

Page 44 of 310 ends

Adoption of a Resolution Recertifying the 2024 Sewer System Management Plan. , Page 2

complexity of the City's sewer system. The 2024 Updated SSMP outlines and documents the activities that the City of La Verne utilizes to manage the sewer collection system effectively.

Effective management of a collection system includes:
• To employ best practices to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the wastewater collection system
• Minimizing the number and impact of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) • Providing adequate sewer capacity to convey peak flows, and • Maintaining and improving the condition of the collection system infrastructure to provide reliable service into the future.

The overall goal of the SSMP is to protect water quality, eliminate or substantially reduce preventable SSOs, and to protect public health and the environment. In addition to serving as a best management practices guide, adoption and recertification of the 2024 SSMP is necessary for regulatory compliance.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact with adoption of the SSMP.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Sewer System Management Plan is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Title 14, Sections 15061 (b)(3) (common sense exemption). 15301 (existing facilities) and 15308 (regulatory process).

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed this item.

DRAFT Introduction
City of La Verne

2024 City of La Verne Sewer System Management Plan
INTRO-1
Background
Thi
s Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) is required under Waste Discharge Requi
rements (WDR) Order No. WQ 2022-0103-DWQ, issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The WDR stipulates that the permittees, which include the City of La Verne, must develop and implement a Management Plan in order to reduce sanitary sewer overflows. Additionally, the Management Plan provides measures to ensure efficient and effective response to overflows and implement source control measures to minimize the introduction of grease, oils, and other materials that may cause blockages. This Management Plan satisfies the requirements specified in the WDR Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ.

The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted WDR Order No. 2022-0103- DWQ, Statewide General Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Overflows, (SSOs) on December 6, 2022. The SWRCB developed this WDR to promote uniformity in the management of California’s wastewater collection systems and to reduce SSOs. The SWRCB found that districts that have implemented SSMPs similar to this have been effective not only in improving spill reporting, but also in mitigating SSO impacts. Data also supported the conclusion that better collection system management will benefit water quality and prolong the life of sanitary sewer systems.

The SWRCB may regulate sanitary sewer overflows based on authority in the federal Clean Water Act (EPA 2002) and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, Section 13263 (California Water Code of Regulation 2006).

About the System
The City of La Verne was founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1906. The City is 9.09 square mile
s and located in eastern Los Angeles County at the southern base of the Angeles National Forest. The city is bordered to the west by the Cities of San Dimas and the City of Glendora, on the south by the City of Pomona and to the east the City of Claremont. Land use throughout the City is dominated by residential uses with a commercial core along Foothill Boulevard and light industrial uses primarily south of Arrow Highway.

Institutional uses such as universities, public and private schools, and other governmental operations also occupy substantial amounts of land. The City’s 2024 population is estimated at 29,898, which was reported by the U.S. July 1, 2023 Census Bureau. The original sewer system was designed and constructed in 1924. Much of this original system is still in operation today. A wide variety of improvements have been made since the early days as development progressed away from the City center into the foothills and southern reaches of the community. The City now operates and maintains approximately 100 miles of sewer lines, two wastewater lift stations, a brine line, and a number of ancillary facilities providing service to approximately 8,667 lateral connections consisting of 12,741 (2021 LV Rate Study) sewer units. In addition to these public facilities, there are several private community lift stations, force mains, and gravity sewers throughout the service territory (See Attachment C, Exhibit G, City of La Verne 2022 Wastewater Master Plan) that ultimately discharge into the City’s wastewater collection system.

DRAFT Introduction
City of La Verne

2024 City of La Verne Sewer System Management Plan
INTRO-2
The City of La Verne's sewer distribution system consists of approximately 100 miles of vitri
fied clay pipe, and truss pipe ranging in size from 6 inch to 12 inches in diameter. At least 40% of the system has been in operation since the 1930's and has continued to grow as development required to its current size. The majority of the collection system was constructed during the main growth, which occurred in the 1960's and 1970's.

The sewage collection system within the City of La Verne is municipally owned except for some lateral sewers owned by Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW).

The city is within the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) service areas, Numbers 21 and 22. Trunk sewers receive La Verne's sewage for conveyance to their facilities in the Whittier Narrows and Pomona treatment facilities. These trunk systems are owned and maintained by LACSD. The City utilizes GIS for reference documents and system asset mapping. The City also uses the Nobel work order system for tracking maintenance which integrates data into GIS.

The City has five drainage areas:
1) Drainage Area 1is the western-most quarter of the City. Effluent from this area is collected by LACSD’s Puddingstone Trunk, Sections 1 and 2, a 15” VCP pipe. 2) Drainage Area 2is located in the northwest region of the city and drains into the LACSD Sunflower Trunk in Canyon View Drive. The Sunflower Trunk is a 12” non- reinforced concrete pipe.
3) Drainage Area 3 is in the mid-southern region of the City. It is bordered by Foothill Blvd. to the north, B Street to the east, the Metrolink ROW to the south, and the eastern boundary of Drainage Area 1. Sewage flows from this area are discharged into the Puddingstone Trunk, Section 4 located in Palomares Avenue just east of the Puddingstone channel. The Puddingstone Trunk, Section 4 is a 12” VCP pipe. 4) Drainage Area 4 is centrally located in the City and extends in a northeasterly direction to the City limits. This is the largest drainage area of the City and lays between Drainage Area 1 and Drainage Area 3 to the west and Drainage Area 5 to the east. Wastewater from Sub Drainage Area 4 is discharged to either the Emerald Avenue Trunk, a 12” VCP pipe, or the La Verne “B” Street Trunk, a 12” VCP pipe.
5) Drainage Area 5encompasses the southern easternmost corner of the City.

Discharges from this basin are received by the La Verne Trunk, Section 2, a 27” reinforced concrete pipe located southwest of White Avenue on Los Angeles County Fair property.

Section 1 - Goa ls
Goals
The goal of the City of La Verne’s SSMP are:
1) To properly manage, operate and maintain all portions of the city's was
tewater collection system. This goal will be achieved by utilizing Best Management Practices (BMPs), the latest technological equipment available, and well-trained staff.
2) To provide adequate capacity to convey peak wastewater flows. All major collection points will be metered to confirm proper capacities based upon national standards for sewer systems. Any areas found to be deficient will be corrected as necessary.
3) To minimize the frequency of sewer system overflows (SSO). The system will be operated and managed in a fashion that is proactive, utilizing cleaning methods and equipment that mitigates the potential for sewer system overflows.
4) To mitigate the impacts that are associated with any SSO that may occur.

This will be accomplished by utilizing a timely response, installing proper damming and ponding materials and getting any obstruction cleared as quickly as possible. Recovery and cleanup will commence once the aforementioned are completed.
5) To meet all applicable regulatory notification and reporting requirements.

The city currently reports any spills online and notifies the County Health Department as well. A no spill report will also be sent monthly. The city will comply with Attachment E1 from General Order 2022-0103-DWQ (which is Attachment E of this SSMP)

The City is working to require wastewater staff, and Technical Services positions to maintain California Water Environment Association Collection Systems certification relevant to their job classification. All field staff are certified at or above the City-required level.

The City cross-trains all of the field staff to become proficient at both maintenance and construction work processes for collection system operations. Field personnel periodically rotate between maintenance and repair crews, which allows for on-the-job training on a consistent basis. Based on the size of our system, and the ratio of dedicated field positions, cross-trained staff is imperative to achieve consistent success on the maintenance.

Approach to training of overflow response involves preparation on three levels: Technical Skills, Safety, and Procedural Skills. Training is conducted bi-annually and begins with a solid understanding of what causes sewer overflows, such as:
• Foreign matter blocking flow in the sewer mains.
• System failures.
• Storm water infiltration.

The safety of those responding to sewer overflows is critical. Biological risks and possible exposure to harmful pathogens and toxic gases are addressed as well as the importance of staying safe by using personal protective equipment at all times when responding to SSO’s.

Respondents are trained to follow emergency response protocols including documentation A. Cl~

of time called, first on scene, severity of overflow, and securing the affected area using traffic con
trol devices.

In addition to the above training, crew members are trained to identify and clear blockages, damming techniques, flow diversion techniques to minimize damage to the environment and nearby bodies of water as well as the safe and proper use of specialized equipment including a city owned Vactor truck and a closed circuit tv truck.

Communication is key to the success of minimizing overflows. During the trainings communication is stressed to include not only communication between each other at the overflow site but also in communicating events on records that need to be filed with governing agencies and the public as necessary.

Training concludes with post incident evaluation. Ensuring that all required information is reported, and that any response concludes with assurance of clean and safe area where overflow occurred, and that all equipment used is properly cleaned and placed where it belongs.

Training on use of new equipment or for newly established procedures is provided prior to the equipment being put into service and/or procedures being implemented. Additionally, each time crew changes occur, all maintenance workers first review the standard operating practices associated with the crew they are assigned.

Contingency Equipment and Replacement Inventory
Identify Equipment and Critical Replacement Parts
Provi
de equipment and replacement part inventories, including identification of critical replacement parts.

The City maintains critical replacement parts for its lift stations. Included, but not limited to, items such as; force main pipe and mechanical repair couplings for each size/type of pipe; transducers; relays; and fuses. All are clearly labeled for the appropriate application. Audits of critical parts are periodically performed.

The City’s lift stations are equipped with automatic transfer switches to allow for quick connection of emergency stand-by generators. The lift stations can also be de-watered using one of the City’s two (2) combination hydro-vacuum units. In addition to the Vactor Trucks the City is equipped with the following items to ensure SSO’s are maintained and kept from entering the water ways:

1. Rubber Gutter Guard mats to block storm drain opening(s).

2. Sandbags.

3. Chlorine Disinfectant.

4. Traffic Control equipment, delineators, cones, and caution tape.

Section 6 - Sew er Overflow Emergency Response Plan
I - General
The Sewer Overflow Response Plan (SORP) is designed to ensure that every report of a conf
irmed sewage overflow is immediately dispatched to the appropriate crews so that the effects of the overflow can be minimized with respect to impacts to public health and adverse effects on beneficial uses and water quality of surface waters and customer service. The SORP further includes provisions to ensure safety pursuant to the directions provided by the County of Los Angeles Health Care Agency and the State Regional Water Quality Board and that notification and reporting is made to the appropriate local, state, and federal authorities.

For purposes of this SORP, "confirmed sewage spill" is also sometimes referred to as "sewer overflow," "overflow," or "SSO." The effective date of this plan is December 16, 2024.

A. Goals
The
City’s goals with respect to responding to SSOs are:
• Work safely.
• Respond quickly to minimize the volume of the SSO.
• Eliminate the cause of the SSO.
• Prevent sewage system overflows or leaks from entering the storm drain system or receiving waters to the maximum extent practicable. • Contain the spilled wastewater to the extent feasible. • Minimize public contact with the spilled wastewater.
• Mitigate the impact of the SSO.
• Meet the regulatory reporting requirements.
• Evaluate the causes of failure related to certain SSO’s. • Revise response procedures resulting from the debrief and failure analysis of certain SSOs

B. Objectives
The primary objectives of the SORP are to protect public health and the environment, satisfy regulatory agencies, and waste discharge permit conditions, which address procedures for managing sewer overflows, and minimize risk of enforcement actions against the City of La Verne.

Additional objectives of the SORP are as follows:
• Provide appropriate customer service;
• Protect wastewater treatment plant and collection system personnel; • Protect the collection system, wastewater treatment facilities, and all appurtenances; and
• Protect private and public property beyond the collection and treatment facilities.

This plan shall not supersede existing emergency plans or standard operating procedures (SOPs) unless directed by the Director of Public Works.

Th
e key elements of the SORP are addressed individually as follows:
• Overflow Response Procedure
• Public Advisory Procedure
• Regulatory Agency Notification Procedure
• Media Notification Procedure
• Distribution and Maintenance of SORP
D. SSO Tracking
A procedure to track the frequency and location of SSOs has been prepared under separate cover. Depending on the completeness of information resulting from implementation of the procedure, it could support the Water Distribution/Sewer Supervisor or the delegated representative's decision process for directing the correction of overflows and prioritizing maintenance activities.

E. Summary of Notification, Monitoring and Reporting Requirements for Spills (per Attachment E1 and E2 of the General Order 2022-0103-DWQ)

As required in Attachment E 1 of the General Order 2022-0103-DWQ, there are four spill categories as summarized below.

Failure to comply with the notification, monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping requirements in this General Order may subject the Enrollee to civil liabilities of up to $10,000 a day per violation pursuant to Water Code section 13385; up to $1,000 a day per violation pursuant to Water Code section 13268; or referral to the Attorney General for judicial civil enforcement.

F. Spill Category Chart
On the following page, the chart outlines the spill category definitions which correlate with the notification requirements outlined in Section 3.1 of Attachment E1 (Notification, Monitoring, Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements) of State Water Resources Control Board’s Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) Order No. WQ 2022-0103-DWQ.

Spill Category Chart
Spill Category Description of Spill
Category 1
A Category 1 spill is a spill of any volume of sewage from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that results in a discharge to:
• A surface water, including a surface water body that
contains no flow or volume of water; or
• A drainage conveyance system that discharges to surface waters when the sewage is not fully captured and
returned to the sanitary sewer system or disposed of
properly.

Any spill volume not recovered from a drainage conveyance system is considered a discharge to surface water, unless the drainage conveyance system discharges to a dedicated
stormwater infiltration basin or facility.

A spill from an Enrollee-owned and/or operated lateral that discharges to a surface water is a Category 1 spill; the Enrollee shall report all Category 1 spills per section 3.1 of Attachment E1 (Notification, Monitoring, Reporting and Recordkeeping
Requirements) of this General Order.

Category 2 A Category 2 spill is a spill of 1,000 gallons or greater, from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface water.

A spill of 1,000 gallons or greater that spills out of a lateral and is caused by a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system, is a Category 2 spill.

Category 3 A Category 3 spill is a spill of equal to or greater than 50 gallons and less than 1,000 gallons, from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface water.

A spill of equal to or greater than 50 gallons and less than 1,000 gallons, that spills out of a lateral and is caused by a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system is a Category 3 spill.

Category 4 A Category 4 spill is a spill of less than 50 gallons, from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface.

II - Overflow Response Procedure
The
Overflow Response Procedure presents a strategy for the City of La Verne Public Works staff
to mobilize labor, materials, tools and equipment to correct or repair any condition which may cause or contribute to an un-permitted discharge. The plan considers a wide range of potential system failures that could create an overflow to surface waters, land, or buildings.

A. Receipt of Information Regarding an SSO
An overflow may be detected by system employees or by others. The City of La Verne Police Dispatch and public works department water division is primarily responsible for receiving phone calls from the public of possible sewer overflows from the wastewater collection system.

Generally, telephone calls from the public reporting possible sewer overflows are received by telephone operators at the public works department customer service staff the Police and Fire Dispatch emergency phone line is staffed 24 hours per day, every day of the year. During regular work hours, Monday through Thursday customer service staff will receive calls. The sewer system operator(s) have a program for educating the public to report overflows they observe and the phone number to be called.

1. The telephone operator should obtain all relevant information available regarding the overflow including:
a. Time and date call was received.
b. Specific location.
c. Description of problem.
d. Time overflow was noticed by the caller.
e. Caller’s name and phone number.
f. Observations of the caller (e.g., odor, duration, back or front of property); and
g. Other relevant information that will enable the responding investigator and crews, if required, to quickly locate, assess and stop the overflow.

The telephone operator then records the overflow information and creates a service action Form for assignment to the public works staff.

2. Pump station failures are monitored and received by the public Works department at the water production facility. The water division staff on duty shall immediately convey all information to water division leader worker or supervisor to initiate the investigation.

3. Sewer overflows detected by any personnel in the course of their normal duties shall be reported immediately to the water division lead worker.

Dispatching personnel should record all relevant overflow information and dispatch a sewer investigator and additional response crews, as needed.

S6-5

4. A water division lead worker shall confirm the overflow. Until verified, the rep
ort of a possible spill will not be referred to as a "sewer overflow.” A California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) SSO form should be completed by the Water/ Sewer maintenance supervisor within 24 hours of the sewer investigator's confirmation. This includes updating and signing the final overflow report.

B. Dispatch of Appropriate Crews to Site of Sanitary Sewer Overflow Failure of any element within the wastewater collection system that threatens to cause or causes an SSO will trigger an immediate response to isolate and correct the problem. Crews and equipment shall be available to respond to any SSO locations. Crews will be dispatched to any site of a reported SSO immediately.

Also, additional maintenance personnel shall be "on call" should extra crews be needed.

1. Dispatching Crews
• Dispatchers should receive notification of sewer overflows as outlined in section A, "Receipt of Information Regarding an SO" and dispatch a sewer representative and/or the appropriate crews and resources as required.
• Dispatchers shall notify the appropriate manager or supervisor by two-way radio or telephones regarding sewer overflows and field crew locations.

2. Crew Instructions and Work Orders
• Responding crews should be dispatched by two-way radio or telephone. Public works staff should receive instructions from water division lead worker or their supervisor regarding appropriate crews, materials, supplies, and equipment needed.
• Dispatchers shall ensure that the entire message has been received and acknowledged by the crews who were dispatched. All standard communications procedures should be followed. All employees being dispatched to the site of an SSO shall proceed immediately to the site of the overflow. Any delays or conflicts in assignments must be immediately reported to the supervisor for resolution.
• Response crews should in all cases report their findings, including possible damage to private and public property, to the water division lead worker or supervisor immediately upon making their investigation. If the lead worker or supervisor has not received findings from the field crew within 60 minutes the lead worker or supervisor shall contact the response crew to determine the status of the investigation.

3. Additional Resources
• Th
e water division lead worker should receive and shall convey to appropriate party’s requests for additional personnel, material, supplies, and equipment from crews working at the site of a sewer overflow.

4. Preliminary Assessment of Damage to Private and Public Property • The focus is to resolve the problem. The response crews should use discretion in assisting the property owner/occupant as reasonably as they can. Be aware that the City of La Verne could face increased liability for any further damages inflicted to private property during such assistance. The response crew shall enter private property for purposes of assessing damage. Appropriate still photographs and video footage, if possible, should be taken of the outdoor area of the sewer overflow and impacted area in order to thoroughly document the nature and extent of impacts. Available photographs are to be forwarded to the public works department for filing with the overflow report.

5. Field Supervision and Inspection
• The supervisor of the lead worker who confirmed the sewer overflow, should visit the site of the overflow, if possible, to ensure that provis
ions of this overflow response plan and other directives are met.
• The supervisor of the sewer investigator is responsible for confirming that the Overflow Report was provided to the Public Works Department within the specified time.

6. Coordination with Hazardous Material Response
• Upon arrival at the scene of a sewer overflow, should a suspicious substance (e.g., oil sheen, foamy residue) be found on the ground surface, or should a suspicious odor (e.g., gasoline) not common to the sewer system be detected, the sewer investigator or response crew should immediately contact the City of La Verne Fire Department before taking further action.
• Should the Fire Department Battalion Chief supervisor determine the need to alert the hazardous material response team, the sewer investigator or crew shall await the arrival of the Haz-Mat team to take over the scene. Remember that any vehicle engine, portable pump or open flame (e.g., cigarette lighter) can provide the ignition for an explosion or fire should flammable fluids or vapors be present. Keep a safe distance and observe caution until assistance arrives.
• Upon arrival of the Haz-Mat team, the sewer lead worker will take direction from the person with the lead authority of that team. Only when that authority determines it is safe and appropriate for the A. Cl~

sewer investigator and crew to proceed can they then proceed under the
SORP with the containment, clean-up activities, and correction.

C. Overflow Correction, Containment, and Clean-Up
Sewer overflows (SO) of various volumes occur from time to time in spite of concerted prevention efforts. Spills may result from blocked sewers, pipe failures, or mechanical malfunctions among other natural or man- made causes. The City of La Verne public works staff is constantly on alert and should be ready to respond upon notification and confirmation of an overflow.

This section describes specific actions to be performed by the crews during an SO.

The objectives of these actions are:
• To protect public health, environment and property from sewage overflows and restore surrounding area back to normal as soon as possible.
• To establish perimeters and control zones with appropriate traffic cones and barricades, vehicles or use of natural topography (e.g., hills, berms); • To promptly notify the regulatory agency's communication center of preliminary overflow information and potential impacts. • To contain the sewer overflow to the maximum extent possible including preventing the discharge of sewage into surface waters; and • To minimize The City of La Verne's exposure to any regulatory agency penalties and fines.

Under most circumstances, The City of La Verne public works department will handle all response actions with its own maintenance forces. They have the skills and experience to respond rapidly and in the most appropriate manner. An important issue with respect to an emergency response is to ensure that the temporary actions necessary to divert flows and repair the problem do not produce a problem elsewhere in the system. For example, repair of a force main could require the temporary shutdown of the pump station and diversion of the flow at an upstream location. If the closure is not handled properly, sewage system back-ups may create other overflows.

Circumstances may arise when the city could benefit from the support of private sector construction assistance. This may be true in the case of large diameter pipes buried to depths requiring sheet piling and dewatering should excavation be required. The City of La Verne may also choose to use private contractors for open excavation operations that might exceed one day to complete.

1. Responsibilities of Response Crew Upon Arrival
It is the responsibility of the first personnel who arrive at the site of a sewer overflow to protect the health and safety of the public by mitigating the impact of the overflow to the extent possible.

Should the overflow not be the responsibility of the City of La Verne, but there is imm
inent danger to public health, public or private property, or to the quality of waters of the U. S., then prudent emergency action should be taken until the responsible party assumes responsibility and provides actions. Upon arrival at an SSO, the response crew should do the following:
• Determine the cause of the overflow, e.g. sewer line blockage, pump station mechanical or electrical failure, sewer line break, etc.; • Identify and request, if necessary, assistance or additional resources to correct the overflow or to assist in the determine of its cause; • Determine if private property is impacted. If yes, the dispatcher should be informed so the County of Los Angeles Health care agency will be advised.

Los Angeles County Public Health Care Agency

Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board
213.576.6600 (24-Hour)
California Office of Emergency Services (OES)
800.852.7550 (24-Hour Reporting)
• Take immediate steps to stop the overflow, e.g. relieve pipeline blockage, manually operate pump station controls, repair pipe, etc.

Extraordinary steps may be considered where overflows from private property threaten public health and safety (e.g., an overflow running off of private property into the public right-of-way); and • Request additional personnel, materials, supplies, or equipment that will expedite and minimize the impact of the overflow.

2. Initial Measures for Containment
Initiate measures to contain the overflowing sewage and recover where possible sewage which has already been discharged, minimizing impact to public health or the environment.
• Determine the immediate destination of the overflow, e.g. storm drain, street curb gutter, body of water, creek bed, etc. • Identify and request the necessary materials (poly sheeting, rubbe
rized portable berms and sandbags) and equipment to contain or isolate the overflow, if not readily available; and
• Take immediate steps to contain the overflow, e.g., block or bag storm drains, recover through vacuum truck, or other portable vacuums divert into downstream manhole, etc.

3. Additional Measures Under Potentially Prolonged Overflow Conditions In
the event of a prolonged sewer line blockage or a sewer line collapse, a determination should be made to set up a portable by-pass pumping operation around the obstruction.
• Appropriate measures shall be taken to determine the proper size and number of pumps required to effectively handle the sewage flow. • Continuous or periodic monitoring of the by-pass pumping operation shall be implemented as required.
• Regulatory agency issues shall be addressed in conjunction with emergency repairs.

4. Cleanup
Sewer overflow sites are to be thoroughly cleaned after an overflow. No readily identified residue (e.g., sewage solids, papers, rags, plastics, rubber products) is to remain.
• Where practical, the area is to be thoroughly flushed and cleaned of any sewage or wash-down water. Solids and debris are to be flushed, swept, raked, picked-up, and transported for proper disposal. (sewage treatment plant). The facility located at Humane Way in Pomona should accept these sewer byproducts.
• The overflow site is to be secured to prevent contact by members of the public until the site has been thoroughly cleaned. Posting if required should be undertaken pursuant to Section IV.
• Where appropriate, the overflow site is to be disinfected and deodorized.
• Where sewage has resulted in ponding, the pond should be pumped dry, and the residue disposed in accordance with applicable regulations and policies.
• If a ponded area contains sewage which cannot be pumped dry, it may be treated with bleach. If sewage has discharged into a body of water that may contain fish or other aquatic life, bleach or other appropriate disinfectant should not be applied and the (state fish and wildlife agency) should be contacted for specific instructions.
• Use of portable aerators may be required where complete recovery of sewage is not practical and where severe oxygen depletion in existing surface water is expected.

III – Sewer Backup Protocol
A. Im
mediate Notification
Rece
ive a report of a potential sewer mainline backup from residents, a monitoring system, or routine inspections. Verify the details: Get the exact location, symptoms (e.g., multiple home backups, manhole overflows), and any historical information about the area.

B. Dispatch to the Location
Dispatch a crew with the necessary equipment, including sandbags, sewer jetting truck, and personal protective equipment (PPE). City workers should wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing.

C. Assess the Situation
Locate the nearest manhole to access the mainline. Inspect for visible signs of a backup, such as wastewater overflowing from manholes or slow drainage in surrounding areas. Open the manhole and assess the water levels. A high-water level in the manhole often indicates a blockage downstream. • Isolate the Problem Area
o Conduct an inspection of nearby manholes and lines to isolate the location of the blockage. This may involve opening several manholes upstream and downstream. Check flow rates: If the flow in the line is slow or non-existent, there is likely a blockage.
• Clear the Blockage
o Deploy the appropriate equipment based on the cause and location of the blockage:
o Hydro jetting truck: Uses high-pressure water jets to clear blockages caused by grease, debris, or other
o Run the equipment through the affected sewer mainline, ensuring that the blockage is dislodged, and the flow is restored. • Inspect the Sewer Line
o Once the blockage is cleared, inspect the sewer line using a sewer camera to check for damage, breaks, or additional obstructions. If damage is found, document the location and extent of the damage for further repair.
• Document the Work
o Document all actions taken: Date, time, location, cause of the blockage, equipment used, and results of the inspection. Include photographs, video footage from the sewer camera, and flow measurements before and after the blockage is cleared.

S6-11
• Disinfect the Area
o If
there was an overflow, city workers should ensure the area around the manhole or public spaces is cleaned and disinfected to prevent contamination. Use disinfectants to clean any areas that were conta
minated during the spill.
• Report to Supervisors
o Submit a report to the supervisor or municipal department with a detailed account of the incident, including the cause of the blockage, actions taken, and recommendations for further action. If any environmental damage occurred, a formal report may need to be filed with the appropriate environmental or regulatory agencies.

D. Monitor the System
Set up ongoing monitoring in the area to ensure that the backup doesn't recur.

Consider adding the location to a list for regular inspections if it's prone to issues (e.g., root intrusion, grease buildup, or poor pipe condition).

E. Sewer Emergency Protocol Training
Set up a Training session with the water department and any new employees going over all the procedures. This will take place a minimum of two times per calendar year (every six months). Employees are also trained in the proper use of the following equipment:
- Sewer Jetting Trucks
- Sewer Camera Inspection Equipment
- PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
- Manhole Hooks
- Vacuum Trucks (for overflows)
-Rubber Gutter Guard mats to block storm drain opening(s). -Sandbags.
-Chlorine Disinfectant.
-Traffic Control equipment, delineators, cones, and caution tape. -Portable light tower.
-Portable generator.
-Portable Pump.

F. Formal Report Submittal
When an event is significant enough, an Overflow Report shall be completed by the public works department water/sewer supervisor. Information regarding the sewer overflow should include the following:
• Indication that the sewage overflow had reached surface waters, i.e., all overflows where sewage was observed running to surface waters, or A. Cl~

there was obvious indication (e.g. sewage residue) that sewage flowed to surf
ace waters; and
• Indication that the sewage overflow had not reached surface waters.

Guidance in characterizing these overflows to include:
a. Sewage overflows to covered storm drains (with no public access) where personnel verify, by inspection, that the entire volume is contained in a sump or impoundment and where complete clean- up occurs leaving no residue.
b. Preplanned or emergency maintenance jobs involving bypass pumping if access by the public to a bypass channel is restricted and subsequent complete clean-up occurs leaving no residue {Any preplanned bypass under these circumstances will not be considered an overflow.); and
c. Overflows where observation or on-site evidence clearly indicates all sewage was retained on land and did not reach a surface water and where complete cleanup occurs leaving no residue.
• Determination of the start time of the sewer overflow by one of the following methods:
a. Date and time information received and/or reported to have begun and later substantiated by a sewer investigator or response crew;
b. Visual observation; or
c. Pump station and lift station flow charts and other recorded data. • Determination of the stop time of the sewer overflow by one of the following methods:
a. When the blockage is cleared or flow is controlled or contained; or
b. The arrival time of the sewer investigator or response crew, if the overflow stopped between the time it was reported and the time of arrival.
• Visual observations
An estimation of the rate of sewer overflow in gallons per minute (GPM) by one of the following criteria:
a. Direct observations of the overflow; or

b. Measurement of actual overflow from the sewer main.
• De
termination of the volume of the sewer overflow:
a. When the rate of overflow is known, multiply the duration of the overflow by the overflow rate; or
b. When the rate of overflow is not known, investigate the surrounding area for evidence of ponding or other indications of overflow volume.
• Photographs of the event, when possible.
• Assessment of any damage to the exterior areas of public/private property. Personnel shall enter private property for purposes of estimating damage to structures, floor and wall coverings, and personal property.

IV - Public Advisory Procedure
This section describes the actions the Public Works Department should take, in cooperation with
the Los Angeles County Health Department to limit public access to areas potentially impacted by unpermitted discharges of pollutants to surface water bodies from the wastewater collection system.

A. Temporary Signage
The Los Angeles County Health Department/Department of Fish and Game/The State Department of Water Resources has primary responsibility for determining when to post notices of polluted surface water bodies or ground surfaces that result from uncontrolled wastewater discharges from its facilities. The postings do not necessarily prohibit use of recreational areas, unless posted otherwise, but provide a warning of potential public health risks due to sewage contamination.

B. Other Public Notification
Should the posting of surface water bodies or ground surfaces subjected to a sewer overflow be deemed necessary by the Los Angeles County Health Care Agency, he/she shall also determine the need for further public notification through the use of pre-scripted notices made available to the printed or electronic news media for immediate publication or airing, or by other measures (e.g., front door hangers).

V - Regulatory Agency Notification Plan
The Regulatory Agency Notification Plan (applies to spills on La Verne’s collection system) estab
lishes procedures, which the City of La Verne in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Health Care Agency shall follow to provide formal notice to the Regional Board as A. Cl~

DRAFT Section 7 – Fats, Oils, and Grease Control Program City of La Verne

2024 City of La Verne Sewer System Management Plan
S7-1
Section 7 - Fats, Oils, and Grease Control Program
SSSWDR D.13(vii) states:

Each
Enrollee shall evaluate its service area to determine whether a FOG control program is needed. If an Enrollee determines that a FOG program is not needed, the Enrollee must provide justification for why it is not needed. If FOG is found to be a problem, the Enrollee must prepare and implement a FOG source control program to reduce the amount of these substances discharged to the sanitary sewer system. This plan shall include the following as appropriate:
(a). An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of FOG;
(b). A plan and schedule for the disposal of FOG generated within the sanitary sewer system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal facilities and/or additional facilities needed to adequately dispose of FOG generated within a sanitary sewer system service area;
(c). The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent SSOs and blockages caused by FOG;
(d). Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors) and the development of design standards for such devices, maintenance requirements, BMP requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements; (e). Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and whether the District has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the FOG ordinance; (f). An identification of sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages and establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section; and (g). Development and implementation of source control measures for all sources of FOG discharged to the sewer system for each section identified in (f) above.

La Verne has approximately one hundred and seven (107) permitted Industrial Waste Establishments in its service area that are inspected regularly by the Los Angeles County Sanitation District to ensure adherence to the FOG program.

The City contracts with L.A. County for inspections related to the F.O.G. program.

Legal Authority
Upon adoption of an ordinance, the City will have legal authority to prohibit discharges to the collection system through the Uniform Wastewater Discharge Regulations, Title III, Chapter 14, 14.10 Article IV Fats, Oils, and Grease Control Program.

Source Control
The
City conducts permit plan checks on new construction and tenant improvements of FSEs.

Plan checks include, but are not limited to, identification and proper connection of grease bearing fixtures to a properly sized grease interceptor. The plan check and field inspection, as part of the building permit process, includes an interceptor sizing component and an Interceptor Maintenance Education component, which includes the City’s maintenance requirements, BMP requirements, and record keeping and reporting requirements. A list of all such users is maintained by the City. The City’s Uniform Wastewater Discharge Regulations (UWDR) requires the installation and proper maintenance of interceptors at any facility that has the potential for discharging grease laden wastewater.

Identification and Sewer Cleaning
City of La Verne Sewer System priority is given to areas with a history of problems relating to FOG and roots. Areas with a history of FOG hot spots are investigated and cleaned at least quarterly. FOG hot spots (areas with increased incidence of grease build-up) are cleaned to remove the risk of a blockage occurring and are subsequently inspected frequently. The sewer line is cleaned using either a hydro jet with spinning nozzle or a power rodder. The combo unit/vacuum truck is also used whenever feasible to recover the FOG.

Lines with known poor grade have been prioritized as requiring more frequent CCTV inspection. With information on the causes of grease problems, maintenance activities and schedules can be modified, or sewer repairs made to better control grease buildup and minimize grease-related SSOs

Modifications
Monitor and Measure
The City of La Verne currently hydro-cleans the sewer system (+/- 99 miles) in its entirety on a th re
e-year cycle and hydro-cleans identified trouble spots on either a 30-day or 90-day schedule interval based upon the type of trouble spot it is. Known areas of fast grease build up areas are done monthly utilizing a special degreaser in order to make the effort more effective. Other areas that have roots are cleaned on 90 days intervals with contracted foaming completed every three years.

Below are the identified trouble spots, or hot spots, where the pipes experience high levels of fats, oils, and grease (FOG). These areas of concern are detailed in Table 9-1.

The City owns and operates its own sewer camera which allows for inspection to be completed of the entire system once every 3 years (36% annually). Having the city's own staff inspect the system allows for a timelier response to any problems that might require immediate attention.

All hydro cleaning and televising are documented and evaluated by the city's consultant engineering firm.

DRAFT Section 10 – SSMP Program Audits
City of La Verne

2024 City of La Verne Sewer System Management Plan
S10-1
Section 10 - SSMP Program Audits
The City will conduct an internal audit of the SSMP at least once every three years utilizing the S
SMP Triennial Audit Report Form (Attachment D). The audit will result in a report of the findings, including the identification of any deficiencies in the SSMP and proposed steps to correct them.

The three-year frequency is the maximum allowed by the regulation; this frequency is appropriate to the size of the City’s collection system and the historical number of overflows and should be sufficient to identify any necessary improvements to the SSMP.

The City will assess the need to audit its SSMP more frequently based on the performance of its sanitary sewer system using information from the key performance indicators and input from Collection System staff. All elements of the SSMP will be reviewed using an audit report form (Attachment D).

The audit will include comments regarding recently completed program updates and any recommendations for future actions, changes, or adjustments to an element. Upon completion of the audit, the Utilities Manager will keep a copy of the audit report on file for review, and a Change Log will be updated to reflect insertion of the audit report. The City will update its SSMP at least every six years.

Executive Summary
City of La Verne

2022 Wastewater Master Plan
ES-1

Executive Summary
This Executive Summary shares the findings and recommendations for the 2022 Wastewater Master Plan prepared for the City of La Verne. This master plan update catalogs the city’s infrastructure and related agreements, discusses operational system issues, and recommends various improvements to provide adequate hydraulic capacity and improve reliability of the collection system. The last master plans prepared for the wastewater system were completed in 1993 and 2007. As most of the recommended improvements of the 1993 plan were not implemented, much of that document has been disregarded other than the discussion of the five sub drainage areas. The 2007 plan primarily provided an assessment of the collection system’s hydraulic capacity at suspected trouble locations, all of which is updated within this 2022 master plan in addition to recommendations for accommodating future growth and secure reliability of the system.

The City of La Verne was founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1906. The City is 9.09 square miles and located in eastern Los Angeles County at the southern base of the Angeles National Forest. Land use throughout the City is dominated by residential uses with a commercial core along Foothill Boulevard and light industrial uses primarily south of Arrow Highway.

Institutional uses such as universities, public and private schools, and other governmental operations also occupy substantial amounts of land. The City’s 2022 population is estimated at 33,491, which was projected from the California DOF Population Estimates.

The original sewer system was designed and constructed in 1924. Much of this original system is still in operation today and generally serves the area bounded by Wheeler Avenue and I Street, and Seventh Street and Walnut Avenue. A wide variety of improvements have been made since the early days as development progressed away from the City center into the foothills and southern reaches of the com munity. The City now operates and maintains more than 100 miles of sewer lines, two wastewater lift stations, a brine line, and a number of ancillary facilities providing service to approximately 8,667 lateral connections consisting of 12,741 (2021 LV Rate Study) sewer units. In addition to these public facilities, there are several private community lift stations, force mains, and gravity sewers throughout the service territory that ultimately discharge into the City’s wastewater collection system.

Drainage Areas
The City provides wastewater services to approximately 5,139 acres (8.0 3 square miles) or roughly 88 percent of the City’s total 9.09 square mile area. The service area is divided into five separate Sub Drainage areas. These areas are as follows:

Sub Drainage Area 1. This sub drainage basin basically includes the western third of the City for a total of 2. 84 square miles. Its western boundary of the sub drainage areas generally follows the physical barrier of the Puddingstone Flood Control Channel while the southeastern boundary essentially bisects the City from the southwest to the northeast. The basin includes nearly all of north La Verne as well as Puddingstone Village located in the southwestern corner of the City. Revisions to this drainage include the addition of Marshall Canyon Estates tract, Rancho Esperanza tract, La Verne Oak Tree Estates tract, and a section of Sub Area 3 bounded by Damien/ Bonita/ Wheeler/ and Metro Light rail ROW. Deletions to

this sub drainage area include Creekside Tract (to Sub Area 2) and remaining area west of the bluff along San Dimas Canyon Flood Control Channel (to Sub Area 2).

Sub Drainage Area 2. This basin is generally bounded by Foothill Boulevard on the south and the Puddingstone channel on the east , totaling 0.32 square miles. It drains the Foxglen neighborhood and picks up flows from the City of San Dimas, which also includes flows from La Verne’s Creekside development along San Dimas Canyon Road. Adjustments made to this drainage area include the addition of the Creekside Tract (from Sub Area 1) and the remaining area west of the bluff along San Dimas Canyon Flood Control Channel (from Sub Area 1).

Sub Drainage Area 3 . Sub area 3 is bordered by Foothill Blvd. to the north, B Street to the east, the Metrolink ROW to the south, and the eastern boundary of Sub Drainage Area 1.

Revisions to Sub Area 3 include the addition of the Puddingstone Hill region (Puddingstone La Venture), Park La Verne tract, and San Polo Business Park. Sub area 3 is a total of 1. 09 square miles.

Sub Drainage Area 4. This drainage area is centrally located and includes a large part of the community. Its northern half may be defined by Golden Hills Road to the north, the eastern City limit/prolongation of Williams Avenue to the east, the boundary of Sub Drainage Area 1 to the west and Foothill Blvd. separating the north and south halves of the sub area. The southern half is bounded by Foothill Blvd. in the north, White Avenue in the east, Puddingstone Drive to the south, and the eastern boundary of Sub Drainage area 3 to the west. Per Table 2.2, the changes made to Sub Area 4 include the addition of the Brassie Lane tract. Sub drainage are 4 contains a total of 3.01 square miles.

Sub Drainage Area 5 . The easternmost side of the City is served by Sub Drainage Area 5, which encompasses 0.77 square miles . It includes a small triangular area north of Foothill bounded by the Live Oak Flood Control Channel and the City limits. However, most of Sub Area 5 lies below Foothill Blvd. with Fulton Road/city limits the eastern boundary, White Avenue its western boundary, and Arrow Highway its southern boundary. No changes have been proposed for Sub Area 5.

Effluent flows from each of the Sub Areas are conveyed to a network of “trunk” lines own ed and operated by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. These trunk lines collect City effluent and ultimately convey wastewater to either the LACSD’s San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant or the Pomona Water Reclamation Plant for treatment and reclamation.

Growth and Projected Wastewater Flows
The City of La Verne’s 2022 population is estimated to be 33,491 and is expected to increase to 37,430 by 2040. Concurrently, the City’s number of housing units is expected to increase from 12,278 to 13,062 during this same time period. This population growth represents a

12.3 percent increase, much of which can be translated to increased wastewater flows.

However, the location of these increased flows is more important than the total flow volume itself. T o accurately determine these future wastewater flows, a computer model was employed. The computer modeling was completed on Bentley Systems, Inc. SewerGEMS software platform Version 8i. This wastewater collection system model is designed to perform hydraulic calculations within a wastewater collection system network and perform fundamental database management of input and output data associated with those

calculations. Using this process, we are able to identify pipelines that are or will be exceeding their design capacity.

Hydraulic Assessment
The hydraulic assessment was based upon hydraulic modeling of the City’s collection system for both existing and future design scenarios. Flow projections were based upon flow monitoring data, manhole data, the City’s 1998 General Plan along with information from the City’s ongoing General Plan update, the City’s 2021 Water Master Plan and 2021 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). The vast majority of growth is anticipated to be infill and redevelopment of existing uses with more intense land uses. Existing and ultimate base flows can be found in Tables 5.3 and 5.4.

Recommended Capital Improvement Projects and Rehabilitation Projects
Based on the analysis performed, a list of recommended projects has been identified. These projects address existing issues, as well as issues when the population is at its projected maximum (using project population per the 2020 UWMP). A breakdown of each recommended project and its associated cost estimated is provided in detail in 6.3 - Project Prioritization.

Pipeline CIPs
Pipeline segments on Bunnelle Avenue, Golden Hills Road, and Wheeler Avenue all have a flow capacity over the City’s design criteria. It is recommended that these segments of pipes to be replaced with a larger size for a bigger capacity and smaller flow depth capacity.

Manhole Rehabilitation
The City of La Verne currently has a wastewater maintenance program but no rehabilitation program. Its maintenance program consists of removing debris and other such materials that could cause restriction of flow of waste, hydro -jetting wastewater mains, removing roots within the mains, performing video inspections and other preventative maintenance measures. Along with this maintenance program, a rehabilitation program should be in place.

Presence of hydrogen sulfide trapped within the system can affect not only manholes, but the wastewater network it belongs to. This gas erodes brick, mortar, and concrete construction.

An assessment program geared towards manhole rehabilitation would benefit the overall condition of the City’s waste water system. There are numerous benefits of implementing a manhole rehabilitation program such that it would provide safer and faster solutions compared to replacing manholes in general, eliminate possible infiltration/exfiltration problems, save capital cost of conventional replacement and much more.

Background
This introductory chapter provides background information on the City of La Verne, outlines the purpose of the study, scope of work, and authorization for development of the 2022 Wastewater Master Plan.

1.1 Study Purpose, Scope, and Authorization
The purpose of this wastewater master plan is to evaluate the capacity of the C ity’s existing wastewater system, identify deficiencies in meeting current and future flow demands, and recommend appropriate and feasible capital improvements. In addition, cost estimates for the recommended capital improvements are included.

Specifically, the scope of work includes:
• Data collection, review, and analysis of City of La Verne documents • Conduct flow monitoring where required
• Project wastewater flows within the City’s service area • Create a new wastewater model to evaluate current and future wastewater flow conditions
• Analyze the wastewater collection system under existing conditions • Analyze the wastewater collection system under future conditions to support the City’s 2040 General Plan build out
• Document pertinent service agreements with other agencies • Develop and/or update relevant system maps
• Identify necessary system improvements and develop a Capital Improvement Plan Preparation of the study and master plan were authorized by the Director of Public Works in 2019

1.1.1 Study Objectives
The most recent wastewater master plan was prepared in 2007 by RKA Consulting Group .

This 2007 plan identified numerous syste m improvements necessary to accommodate the City’s intended growth . However, only a few of the wastewater system capacity improvements identified in the 2007 plan have been implemented to date. Since that time, the City has experienced significant growth, added new infrastructure, relocated pipes, redirected flows, and implemented a policy change toward higher density land use (La Verne General Plan 1998). As a result, the data and recommendations of the 2007 Wastewater Master Plan are not used or referenced in this master plan.

The primary goal of this 2022 Wastewater Master Plan is to ensure the City’s ability to deliver safe, cost effective, and uninterrupted wastewater services to the community. This is accomplished by the following objectives:
• Development of a new wastewater system model to evaluate the city’s wastewater system under both existing and projected Year 2040 flow conditions. This effort will aid in determining the system’s hydraulic capacities, structural conditions, and needed capital improvements for both immediate and 2040 build out requirements.

Chapter 1-

• Assessing the risk imposed by the limited pipe crossings of the 210 freeway and railroads that bisect the city.
• Master plan the City’s wastewater system to meet ultimate build out conditions within the identified service area.
• Creation of a Wastewater System Capital Improvement Plan.

The study boundaries include all area within the incorporated city limits as well as flows from specific areas serving portions of the City of San Dimas, City of Pomona, and unincorporated Los Angeles County that discharge into the C ity’s collection system. This plan does not, however, include any evaluation of the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County’s (LACSD) wastewater trunk system capacities, other than note them as outfall points for the C ity’s wastewater system. All wastewater transported through the City’s wastewater system is ultimately directed to LACSD trunk sewers and treated at LACSD wastewater treatment plants.

1.2 General
The City of La Verne was founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1906. The City is 9.09 square miles and located in eastern Los Angeles County at the southern base of the Angeles National Forest. Land use throughout the City is dominated by residential uses with a commercial core along Foothill Boulevard and light industrial uses pri marily south of Arrow Highway.

Institutional uses such as universities, public and private schools, and other governmental operations also occupy large amounts of land. The City’s 2022 population is estimated at 33,491, which was projected from the California DOF Population Estimates.

The original wastewater system was designed and constructed in 1924. Much of this original system is still in operation today and generally serves the area bounded by Wheeler Avenue and I Street, and Seventh Street and Walnut Avenue. A wide variety of improvements have been made since the early days as development progressed away from the City center into the foothills and southern reaches of the community. The City now operates and maintains more than 100 miles of wastewater lines, two wastewater lift stations, a brine line, and a number of ancillary facilities providing service to approximately 8,667 lateral connections consisting of 12,741 (2021 LV R ate Study) wastewater units. In addition to these public facilities, there are several private community lift stations, force mains, and gravity sewers throughout the service territory that ultimately discharge into the City’s wastewater collection system.

1.3 Topography
The City’s topography is varied ranging from 1,014 feet above me an sea level ( MSL) at Brackett Airport in the south to more than 1,800 feet above MSL in the northernmost residential neighborhoods. The area is characterized by gently sloping terrain south of Baseline Road with more drastic elevation changes as you travel north, particularly to the northeast. The sloping topography generally favors the use of gravity sewer systems as a result.

1.4 Climate
La Verne’s climate is warm and temperate consistent with that of the inland southern California region. Summers are warm, and occasionally reach into the 100s. Spring and fall are generally mild with temperatures averaging about 67 degrees Fahrenheit. The winter months of December, January, and February are much cooler and produce the most rainfall.

Temperatures December through February average about 55.8 degrees and with an average rainfall of 4.7 inches during this time. The annual average rainfall for the City is about 8.1 inches with an average of 51 days of measurable precipitation. The amount of precipitation is important in development of the computer model. Wastewater flows during dry weather are generally not under the influence of inflow and infiltration. However, inflow and infiltration can occur during wet weather flows, which impact wastewater system capacities from sources such as groundwater flows into flawed pipe joints, connections, manholes, and improperly connected roof and area drains.

1.5 Glossary of Terms
For the purposes of this report, the following defined terms are used:

Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF) – The average non-storm flow over 24 hours during the dry months of the year, May through September. The ADWF is composed of the average sewage flow and the average dry weather inflow/infiltration.

Average Wet Weather Flo w (AWWF) – The average flow over 24 hours during the wet months of the year, October through April, on days when no rainfall occurred on that or the preceding day.

Best Management Practice – A method, activity of procedure for reducing the number of pollutants that may enter a water body.

Clean Water Act – Also known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Connection Fees – Charges assessed to join or expand an existing wastewater system. Such fees are used to fund capital improvements to the system.

Collecti
on System - A system g
ravity wastewater pipelines, manholes, sewage lift stations, force mains, and privately owned wastewater service laterals that transport wastewater, generally to an outfall connection to a trunk system or wastewater treatment plant.

Flow - The vo
lume of wastewater moving within the pipeline at a particular time.

Geogr
aphic Information System (GIS) – A database that includes geographical data that can be visually represented as maps.

Infilt
ration - The wat
er entering a wastewater system and service connections from groundwater, through such means as defective pipes, pipe joints, connections, or manhole walls. Infiltration does not include inflow and is typically relatively constant over a period of days, weeks, or even months as high groundwater conditions persist.

Study Area
The study boundaries of this master plan encompass all land within the incorporated city limits of La Verne. It also includes area acknowledged as the City’s Sphere of Influence as well as the drainage potential from neighboring communities of San Dimas and Pomona.

2.1 Existing Service Area
The City of La Verne’s existing service area includes the entire incorporated area of the community as well as several areas located beyond the City’s boundaries. These “outside” service areas include unincorporated Los Angeles County, portions of the City of San Dimas, and a small neighborhood located in the City of Pomona. In each case, these outside entities provide and maintain their own individual wastewater systems serving their respective areas; the City only accepts wastewater from these providers and conveys it through the City’s system to LACSD’s regional trunk system. It should also be noted that the areas served by Los Angeles County Public Works are also included within the City’s Sphere of Influence.

The City’s existing wastewater service area is shown in Exhibit A.

The City provides wastewater collection via its wastewater system network. All wastewater received is conveyed t hrough the City system and ultimately discharged into LACSD’s regional trunk lines and treated at LACSD reclamation facilities. The City is only responsible for maintenance of its owned facilities. City staff provide general maintenance using hydro jetting of the pipelines on a regular basis and utilize remote cameras to inspect the integrity of the lines following cleaning.

2.2 Existing Sub Drainage Areas
The service area of the City’s wastewater collection system is separated into sub drainage areas or wastewater shed areas. Each of these sub drainage areas convey wastewater to a different connection to a trunk line owed by the LACSD. The five sub drainage areas were previously determined in earlier master plans based upon geography, flow demands, and available trunk lines. The sub drainage areas are shown in Exhibit B and can mostly be described as:

Sub Drainage Area 1. This sub drainage basin basically includes the western third of the City. Its western boundary of the sub drainage areas generally follows the physical barrier of the Puddingstone Flood Control Channel while the southeastern boundary essentially bisects the City from the southwest to the nor theast. The basin includes nearly all of north La Verne as well as Puddings tone Village located in the southwestern corner of the City. The area is comprised of a mix of land uses with residential being dominate. Most of the residential land use is single family with densities ranging from 2 - 4.5 units per acre. There is some commercial use along Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Highway. Wastewater collected within this basin is conveyed to LACSD’s Ramona Avenue Trunk, a 12” non reinforced concrete pipe and beginning near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Baseline Road and points southerly along Ramona Avenue. In the City’s southern reaches wastewater is discharged into LACSD’s Puddingstone Trunk, Sections 1 and 2, a 15” VCP pipe.

Sub Drainage Area 2. This basin is generally bounded by Foothill Boulevard on the south and the Puddingstone channel on the east. It drains the Foxglen neighborhood and picks up flows from the City of San Dimas, which also includes flows from La Verne’s Creekside development along San Dimas Canyon Road. The area is strictly characterized as residential with densities ranging from 2 – 4.5 units per acre. Flows are conveyed to the Sunflower Trunk in Canyon View Drive. The Sunflower Trunk is a 12” non-reinforced concrete pipe.

Sub Drainage Area 3. Sub area 3 is bordered by Foothill Blvd. to the north, B Street to the east, the Metrolink ROW to the south, and the eastern boundary of Sub Drainage Area 1. This drainage area contains a mix of land uses including single family and multifamily residential, a large mobile home park, a senior living community, commercial, public facilities, and some light industrial. Residential densities vary widely from 4.5 to 10 units per acre. Residential uses make up the largest land use in the area, but public facilities are a close second with the Metropolitan Water District’s Weymouth Treatment plant, various parks, and public and private schools occupying wide swaths of land. Flows from Sub Drainage Area 3 are discharged into the Puddingstone Trunk, Section 4 located in Palomares Avenue just east of the Puddingstone channel. The Puddingstone Trunk, Section 4 is a 12” VCP pipe.

Sub Drainage Area 4. This drainage area is centrally located and includes a large part of the community. Its northern half may be defined by Golden Hills Road to the north, the eastern City limit/prolongation of Williams Avenue to the east, boundary of Sub Drainage Area 1 to the west and Foothill Blvd. separating the north and south halves of the sub area. The southern ha lf is bounded by Foothill Blvd. in the north, White Avenue in the east, Puddingstone Drive to the south, and the eastern boundary of Sub Drainage area 3 to the west. The vast majority of the area includes single family

residential land use with some multifamily, some commercial along Foothill Blvd and in the Oldtown core, the University of La Verne, parks, elementary and secondary schools, business park, and other public facilities. Residential densities range from 2 – 10 units per acre. Wastewater from Sub Drainage Area 4 is carried to either the Emerald Avenue Trunk, a 12” VCP pipe, or the La Verne “B” Street Trunk, a 12” VCP pipe.

Sub Drainage Area 5 . The easternmost side of the City is served by Sub Drainage Area 5. It includes a small triangular area north of Foothill bounded by the Live Oak Flood Control Channel and the City limits. However, most of Sub Area 5 lies below Foothill Blvd. with Fulton Road/city limits the eastern boundary, White Avenue its western boundary, and Arrow Highw ay its southern boundary. The area primarily includes single family with some multifamily land uses, as well as some commercial and light industrial uses. Some City of Pomona flows also contribute to this drainage area. Discharges from this basin are received by the La Verne Trunk, Section 2, a 27” reinforced concrete pipe located southwest of White Avenue on Los Angeles County Fair property.

The five sub drainage areas as they currently exist do not incorporate all properties within La Verne’s incorporated City limits. For example, most of the San Polo business park uses south of Arrow Highway are outside of these drainage areas as they are currently defined as are the Puddingstone Hill region and the Park La Verne neighborhood. The San Polo area discharges into the La Verne Trunk, Sections 2 and 3 of LACSD. This trunk line ranges in size from 12” VCP to 24” reinforced concrete pipe. Wastewater from the Puddingstone Hill region and Park La Verne neighborhood is transported through the City’s system and event ually discharged into the LACSD’s Puddingstone Trunk, Sections 1 and 2, which is a 15” non reinforced concrete pipe. As for Brackett Air Field, much of this area presently flows into the LACSD’s La Verne Trunk, Section 2. Segments of this pipe range from 1 2” VCP to 24” reinforced concrete pipe.

2.3 Revisions to the Sub Drainage Areas
The most recent revisions to the drainage sub areas occurred during preparation of the 1993 Wastewater Master Plan. Since that time though, the City has expanded in territory and development has extended beyond the original sub basins boundaries. Each of the five sub basins will be revised to reflect current conditions and anticipated development. A summary of these revisions is included Table 2.2.

Proposed revisions to the sub drainage areas are shown in Exhibit C.

Brackett Airfield is a Los Angeles County property located within the City limits of La Verne.

It is currently served by an internal wastewater system network and discharges directly into a LACSD Trunk line. Therefore, it is not included within any of the current or proposed sub drainage areas.

2.4 Hot Spots/Problem Areas
As noted previously, the City employs the use of hydro jetting and CCTV inspections as its primary maintenance program. With more than 100 miles of wastewater pipelines throughout the City’s service area, per City staff, the City attempts to conduct such maintenance on each pipe segment at least once every two years. There are exceptions though for areas referred to as “hot spots.” These are pipe segments that are subject to high amounts of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and require more frequent cleaning. Current hot spots are noted in Table 2.3 below and shown in Exhibit D.
