OVERVIEW

IntroducƟon
This Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) Update or “Plan” has been prepared for the CITY (City) with technical assistance from Fischer Compliance LLC for meeƟng and exceeding compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board’s 2022 General Waste Discharge Requirements, Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ for Sanitary Sewer Systems (referred to throughout this document as the WDR). The City provided all details, informaƟon and insƟtuƟonal insights for preparaƟon of the SSMP. The document has been developed to meet the size, scale, and complexity, serving as a “living document” used as a tool for managing and operaƟng the City's sanitary sewer collecƟon system. AddiƟonally, the latest 2024 Sewer System Management Plan Guidance Manual published by the Bay Area Clean Water City (BACWA) was uƟlized as a model for development of the document to harmonize formaƫng/content and incorporate recommended suggested guidance wherever possible.

The City’s commitment to meeƟng or exceeding regulatory requirements, along with their proacƟve approach to operaƟon and management of the collecƟon system, has served them well, as evidenced by system performance relaƟve to other agencies in the region and the state.

This Interim SSMP Update reflects the ongoing day-to-day acƟviƟes of the City for the management, operaƟon, maintenance, and funding of the City’s sanitary collecƟon system. It is subject to review and revision as system condiƟons, regulatory requirements, operaƟonal needs, and supporƟng technical informaƟon change. The City has also iniƟated a separate comprehensive sewer system evaluaƟon and long-range planning effort, which will include CCTV, condiƟon assessment, hydraulic modeling, capacity evaluaƟon, O&M review, and capital improvement planning. Findings from that effort will be incorporated into future SSMP updates, amendments, or implementaƟon documents, as appropriate.

The City submiƩed interim compliance documentaƟon into CIWQS on August 4, 2025, as an interim update pending City Council adopƟon in order to meet applicable regulatory deadlines. Following City Council adopƟon, the City will upload the City Council-adopted version of the Interim 2025 SSMP Update into CIWQS and make it available for public review in accordance with the Order.

OVERVIEW

Figure 1 below (CollecƟon System OperaƟonal Report in CIWQS) provides key City spill metrics, including data comparing the City’s spill record with state and regional system data. The City consistently performs beƩer than the statewide and regional spill rate indices and net spill volumes for all categories of spills from its sanitary sewer collecƟon system.

1. Goal and IntroducƟon

WDR REQUIREMENTS
AƩ. D-1 (pg. D-2)
“The goal of the Sewer System Management Plan (Plan) is to provide a plan and schedule to: (1) properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the Enrollee’s sanitary sewer system(s), (2) reduce and prevent spills, and (3) contain and miƟgate spills that do occur.

The Plan must include a narraƟve IntroducƟon secƟon that discusses the following items:”

1.1. Regulatory Context

WDR REQUIREMENTS
AƩ. D-1.1 (pg. D-2)
“The Plan IntroducƟon secƟon must provide a general descripƟon of the local sewer system management program and discuss Plan implementaƟon and updates”.

COMPLIANCE
The City maintains the local sanitary sewer system and is commiƩed to protecƟng the public’s health and the environment. Federal and State Water Quality regulaƟons require agencies to maintain a comprehensive Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) with the goal of prevenƟng sewage spills.

The City is commiƩed to fully implemenƟng the 2022 WDR which includes addressing all requirements by integraƟng a wide range of programs specifically designed for ensuring the integrity and efficiency of the City’s sanitary sewer collecƟon system. Moreover, the City is dedicated to maintaining its collecƟon system in a systemaƟc manner by implemenƟng various work programs, with a focus on criƟcal areas, to prevent spills, allowing for a comprehensive approach to maintenance. Work programs include CCTV inspecƟons, pipe cleaning, manhole inspecƟons, liŌ staƟon maintenance, root control, source control and pipe repair, just to name a few. Work programs are described in more detail in SecƟon 4.5 “SpecificaƟons 5.19 - OperaƟon and Maintenance” of this SSMP Update.

The City recognizes that addiƟonal technical evaluaƟon and long-range planning efforts are necessary to further support implementaƟon of the SSMP. Accordingly, the City has iniƟated a comprehensive sewer system evaluaƟon program that includes CCTV, hydraulic modeling, risk-based condiƟon assessment, operaƟons and maintenance evaluaƟon, flow monitoring, pump staƟon assessment, SCADA review, and development of a prioriƟzed 5-, 10-, and 20-year Capital Improvement Program. Results from these efforts will be incorporated into future SSMP updates and implementaƟon acƟviƟes.

By prioriƟzing proacƟve measures and taking a comprehensive approach, the City is well-equipped with a proven track record of effecƟvely operaƟng its sanitary sewer collecƟon system with the highest levels of service, complying with the WDR, and reducing/eliminaƟng sewage spills.

1.2. SSMP Update Schedule

WDR REQUIREMENTS

 Unique service boundary condiƟons and challenge(s).
 AddiƟonally, the Plan IntroducƟon secƟon must provide reference to the Enrollee’s up-to-date map of its sanitary sewer system, as required in secƟon 4.1 (Updated Map of Sanitary Sewer System) of this AƩachment.”

COMPLIANCE
The City is located in Los Angeles county and provides wastewater collecƟon services to the City of Redondo Beach (see Figure 3, Vicinity Map of sewer system below), with an approximate (total populaƟon of 69,000.

The City collecƟon system consists of 112 miles of gravity mains, 2 miles of force mains, 14 pump staƟons and 6 siphons.

Unique challenges include the following:
 Periodic inflow and infiltraƟon from Ɵdal flows into sewers.  Cleaning sewers in the City’s boardwalk approximately 6 Ɵmes per year, including cleanings during most major holidays.
 Some sewers and easements present maintenance challenges due to restricted access. All porƟons of these faciliƟes can be maintained, but the effort to do so is Ɵme-consuming, requiring addiƟonal staff and cooperaƟon and pre-planned coordinaƟon with property owners.  Boundary condiƟons and shared sewers maintained and serviced with adjacent ciƟes.

The collecƟon system has several low flow stormwater diversion structures installed and operated during dry weather (closed during wet weather). For addiƟonal details about the City’s collecƟon system, see the City’s most current Annual Report in the CIWQS database.

Figure 2 - City Vicinity Map and Sewer Service Area, available online

The City uƟlizes mulƟple data management system to operate and maintain its sanitary sewer collecƟon system:
(1) iWater Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for tracking work orders, maintenance acƟviƟes, and equipment records; (2) Geographic InformaƟon System (GIS) for maintaining up-to-date system maps and asset inventory; (3) SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data AcquisiƟon) for real-Ɵme monitoring and control of pump staƟons; and (4) SmartCover sensors at 47 sewer locaƟons for level and flow monitoring. Laterals are owned and maintained by the private property owners. Overall, the City is in a good posiƟon to maintain its collecƟon system and does not have operaƟon and maintenance challenges due the service area.

The City continues to maintain its up to date data system maps.

4.2. PrevenƟve OperaƟon and Maintenance AcƟviƟes

WDR REQUIREMENTS
AƩ. D-4.2 (pgs. D-4/D-5)
”A scheduling system and a data collecƟon system for prevenƟve operaƟon and maintenance acƟviƟes conducted by staff and contractors. The scheduling system must include:
 InspecƟon and maintenance acƟviƟes;
 Higher-frequency inspecƟons and maintenance of known problem areas, including areas with tree root problems;
 Regular visual and closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspecƟons of manholes and sewer pipes.

The data collecƟon system must document data from system inspecƟon and maintenance acƟviƟes, including system areas/components prone to root-intrusion potenƟally resulƟng in system backup and/or failure.”

COMPLIANCE
The purpose of a work order system is to program and track all required inspecƟon and maintenance acƟviƟes within the collecƟon system to help proacƟvely prevent blockages/operaƟonal problems or spills.

The City uses OPRA for its Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), which allows the City to make informed decisions regarding its assets and infrastructure by using the collected data from field work orders and documented inspecƟons.

The City’s CMMS (OPRA) maintains historical data for all maintenance acƟviƟes and provides a basis for criƟcal analysis and data-driven planning and decision-making today and into the future. This allows for prioriƟzing and planning rouƟne acƟviƟes such as CCTV inspecƟons, pipe cleaning and pump staƟon maintenance acƟviƟes.

In addiƟon, the CMMS (OPRA) is used to plan and schedule higher-frequency inspecƟon and maintenance acƟviƟes such as Hot Spot cleanings (approximately 100 locaƟons) and selecƟve root control acƟviƟes.

Emergency and other reacƟve acƟviƟes are documented in work orders as well.

The scheduling system allows staff to put certain acƟviƟes on a prevenƟve schedule where the CMMS (OPRA) automaƟcally create work orders on a prescribed interval. Work orders for other acƟviƟes are generated by supervisory personnel on an as-needed basis.

SEWER PIPE BLOCKAGE PROGRAM

7. Sewer Pipe Blockage Program

WDR REQUIREMENTS
AƩachment D-7 (pg. D-7)
“The Sewer System Management Plan must include procedures for the evaluaƟon of the Enrollee’s service area to determine whether a sewer pipe blockage control program is needed to control fats, oils, grease, rags and debris. If the Enrollee determines that a program is not needed, the Enrollee shall provide jusƟficaƟon in its Plan for why a program is not needed.

The procedures must include, at minimum:
 An implementaƟon plan and schedule for a public educaƟon and outreach program that promotes proper disposal of pipe-blocking substances;
 A plan and schedule for the disposal of pipe-blocking substances generated within the sanitary sewer system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal faciliƟes and/or addiƟonal faciliƟes needed to adequately dispose of substances generated within a sanitary sewer system service area;
 The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and idenƟfy measures to prevent spills and blockages.
 Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors), design standards for the removal devices, maintenance requirements, best management pracƟces requirements, recordkeeping and reporƟng requirements;
 Authority to inspect grease producing faciliƟes, enforcement authoriƟes, and whether the Enrollee has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the fats, oils, and grease ordinance;  An idenƟficaƟon of sanitary sewer system secƟons subject to fats, oils, and grease blockages and establishment of a cleaning schedule for each secƟon; and  ImplementaƟon of source control measures for all sources of fats, oils, and grease reaching the sanitary sewer system for each secƟon idenƟfied above.”

COMPLIANCE
In many sanitary sewer collecƟon systems, Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) is known to be a significant cause, and or contributor, of sewer blockages in pipe and the cause of operaƟonal disrupƟons and damage to sewage pump staƟons. Although service areas that include commercial and insƟtuƟonal food service establishments (FSEs) are obvious sources of FOG, residenƟal communiƟes, especially those of medium and high-density mulƟ-family residences, can also be a significant source of FOG. It is the purpose of the FOG Control Program to ensure all customers in our service area are following the City Ordinance, and state and federal requirements, to prevent sewage overflows caused by FOG related blockages in our sewer collecƟon system.

The City complies with the above requirements through the following measures:
 Public Outreach: Public educaƟon is implemented for this effort primarily through restaurant inspecƟons. The City inspects approximately 300 food service establishments (FSEs) twice per year to conduct educaƟon, determine compliance with the code, and take any necessary enforcement acƟons to gain compliance. AddiƟonal public outreach takes place throughout the year which includes presentaƟons to various local commiƩee and/or working groups, public presentaƟons to City Council

SEWER PIPE BLOCKAGE PROGRAM

& the Public Works Commission, informaƟon included on the City’s web site, and various distributed brochures posters and handouts.
 Pipe Blocking Substances: The City is working with the State of California in achieving hauler compliance with the “Licensed waste haulers” requirement (registered to do so by the State in accordance with California Code of RegulaƟons, Title 23, Waters, Chapter 3, and Subchapter 1). The City also uƟlizes the California Fats Oils and Grease Workgroups Grease Hauling and Rendering Companies List for acceptable disposal and hauling providers of FOG generated within its service area.

Further, the City disposes rouƟne wastes accumulated from maintenance acƟviƟes at its corporaƟon yard.
 Legal Authority: The City through its City Municipal Code, ArƟcle 5 (ProhibiƟons). includes provisions and provides the legal authority to implement a FOG Control Program including prohibiƟon of certain discharges and measures to prevent spills.
 Grease Control Devices: The City Municipal Code, Title 5, ArƟcle 3, 5.4305, Wastewater Facility/General Requirements) provides the City with authority to require grease control devices.  InspecƟons: The current Municipal Code Title 5, Chapter 4 Wastewater System (5-403.5) includes a requirement for semi-annual on-site inspecƟons. The revised code will maintain this requirement. The Clean Bay Restaurant CerƟficaƟon Program also includes inspecƟons of Food Service Establishments (FSE) for minimum compliance with FOG and water quality regulaƟons.  PorƟons of Sewers Subject to FOG: The City maintains an “Areas of Interest” list and map which includes Hot Spot cleaning program (approximately 100 locaƟons) including secƟons subject to FOG build-up and blockages. The “Areas of Interest” or Hot Spots are scheduled for more frequent cleanings and monitoring which occur two to four Ɵmes per year.  Source Control Measures: In 2002 the City Council modified its wastewater regulaƟons to require that the City Engineer conduct semi-annual inspecƟons of Food Service Establishments (FSEs) to ensure that the required grease removal device installaƟons are being properly maintained. In 2006, following the adopƟon of the State Water Board’s Order, the City reviewed the exisƟng FOG Control Program and begun the process of establishing a FOG inspecƟon fee in order to enhance the exisƟng program.

The City Council approved FOG Control Ordinance No. 2999-07 on April 17, 2007, to establish a fee that would apply to FSEs that generate FOG. The fee is used to pay for the inspecƟons and administraƟon of the FOG Control program for the FSE inspecƟons. The City also inspects approximately 300 food service establishments (FSEs) twice per year to conduct educaƟon, determine compliance with the code, and take any necessary enforcement acƟons to gain compliance. One addiƟonal source control measure includes the Clean Bay Restaurant CerƟficaƟon Program, which improves FOG Control awareness and improves facility compliance.

SYSTEM EVALUATION, CAPACITY ASSURANCE, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

COMPLIANCE
The system evaluaƟon, condiƟon assessment, capacity assurance, and CIP components contained in this Interim SSMP are preliminary and will be supplemented and refined through the City’s comprehensive sewer system evaluaƟon and technical planning program starƟng in 2026.

The City addresses the above requirements as outlined below. Further, prior to finalizing this SSMP, the City anƟcipates updaƟng this element to include addiƟonal informaƟon and details to address all requirements specified in this secƟon above.
 The assessment of a collecƟon system involves every component of the City collecƟon system, including pipelines, manholes, and pump staƟons. The assessment of pipeline condiƟon is the most significant condiƟon assessment responsibility the City has. It is of key importance to regularly perform pipeline condiƟon assessments to iniƟally establish a condiƟon baseline and to monitor condiƟon changes over Ɵme. The City uƟlizes various technologies, pracƟces, strategies for these assessments to maintain the sewer system such as the use of 47 individual sewer Smart Covers and closed-circuit television (CCTV) equipment.
 The City’s jusƟficaƟon for their condiƟon assessment schedules/intervals is provided by inspecƟon history (how many Ɵmes has the system been inspected), (2) pipe performance (number of blockages or spills), (3) maintenance intervals (how oŌen are the lines cleaned between inspecƟons), and (4) Repair and rehabilitaƟon programs (defects being recƟfied).  The City prioriƟzes condiƟon assessment acƟviƟes using a risk-based approach that considers: (1) pipeline CCTV defect coding per NASSCO PACP standards (structural and O&M defect grades), (2) CIP project prioriƟzaƟon based on hydraulic deficiency, structural condiƟon, SSO risk, and consequence of failure, and (3) sewer asset risk ranking incorporaƟng pipe age, material, diameter, maintenance history, and proximity to sensiƟve receiving waters..
 The City assesses system condiƟons using a combinaƟon of methods including: (1) CCTV video inspecƟon of gravity mains using NASSCO PACP coding, (2) visual manhole inspecƟons, (3) SmartCover sensor monitoring at 47 locaƟons for real-Ɵme level and flow data, and (4) pump staƟon SCADA monitoring..
 The City uses CCTV inspecƟon findings, SmartCover level data, maintenance records, and spill history to idenƟfy system condiƟons (such as significant structural defects, root intrusion, or capacity constraints) that may contribute to sewage exfiltraƟon that could reasonably be expected to reach a water of the State. High-priority defects are escalated to the CIP for correcƟve acƟon..  The City maintains inspecƟon and condiƟon assessment records electronically using iWater CMMS and GIS. Records include CCTV inspecƟon reports, PACP-coded defect data, manhole inspecƟon logs, pump staƟon maintenance records, and SmartCover event logs. CCTV video files and condiƟon data are stored and linked to the City’s GIS asset inventory. The City has iniƟated a process to idenƟfy its assets vulnerable to direct and indirect impacts of climate change, including but not limited to: (a) sea level rise, (b) flooding and/or erosion due to increased storm volumes, frequency, and/or intensity; (c) wildfires; and (d) increased power disrupƟons. This includes a commiƩed to providing a more livable, equitable, and economically vibrant community and sub-region. As a part of this effort, the City of Redondo Beach, in cooperaƟon with the South Bay CiƟes Council of Governments, has developed a Climate AcƟon Plan (CAP) to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions within the city. The City’s CAP serves as a guide for acƟon by seƫng GHG emission reducƟon goals and establishing strategies and policies to achieve desired outcomes over the next 20 years.  Prior to finalizing this SSMP, the City anƟcipates updaƟng this element to include addiƟonal informaƟon and details to address all requirements specified in this secƟon above.

COMPLIANCE
A capacity evaluaƟon of the sewer system was conducted in 1994 during the preparaƟon of the City’s latest Wastewater System Master Plan. All sewer pump staƟons were evaluated on a case-by-case basis, using the flow informaƟon from the hydraulic model. The City is currently (2026) updaƟng the SSMP A hydraulic model was developed for the following system elements:
 All collecƟon lines greater than 8-inches in diameter  Sewers observed to have operaƟonal problems
 Sewers projected to be over capacity by the City’s previous wastewater planning  reports
 Sewers that serve large tributary areas
 Sewers with a slope of 0.004 or less that serve 300 or more residenƟal units  Prior to finalizing this SSMP Update, the City anƟcipates updaƟng this element to include addiƟonal informaƟon and details to address all requirements specified in this secƟon above.

EFFECTIVENESS
The City uƟlizes the following Key Performance Indicators for measuring effecƟveness of this Element:
 Number of capacity-related spills or surcharge condiƟon during the audit period.  Has the system responded to rain events as indicated by the hydraulic model?  Has there been any changes to zoning designaƟons (residenƟal, commercial, industrial)?

“The findings of the condiƟon assessments and capacity assessments must be used to prioriƟze correcƟve acƟons. PrioriƟzaƟon must consider the severity of the consequences of potenƟal spills.”

COMPLIANCE
The City is currently updaƟng its Wastewater System Master Plan. The scope of work includes the development of a hydraulic model of the enƟre wastewater system. Capacity evaluaƟon of the collecƟon system as well as the pump staƟons will be conducted.
 The 1994 Wastewater System Master Plan established the City’s current wastewater criteria. The criteria will be reevaluated as a part of the update to the Wastewater System Master Plan.  The 1994 Wastewater System Master Plan idenƟfied the porƟons of the wastewater system with hydraulic deficiencies. Capital Improvement Project recommendaƟons were formulated and prioriƟzed. The total priority pump staƟon and collecƟon system capacity related project costs were esƟmated at $7,020,000 (January 1994 dollars). The update of the Wastewater System Master Plan will include the development of a comprehensive Capital Improvement Program that will include projects to address any capacity related system deficiencies. Project costs will be developed.  The City funds sewer related acƟviƟes through its Wastewater Enterprise Fund. In 2003, the City approved Ordinance No. 2924-03 that established a Wastewater Sewer User Fee based on a Wastewater Rate and Financial Plan Study report. In 2004, the City issued revenue bonds totaling $10,335,000 which included a rate covenant that requires, in any Fiscal Year, the Wastewater Enterprise to produce Rate-Based Net Revenues equal to at least 1.20 Ɵmes the Installment Payments coming due and payable during such Fiscal Year. In 2008, the City approved Ordinance 3018-08 that raised the Wastewater Sewer User fees to its current levels. The new fees help to fully support the compleƟon of sewer collecƟon system rehabilitaƟon projects, the operaƟon and maintenance of the system, meet bond rate covenant requirements, and comply with regulatory requirements. The established fees also include an annual increase to account for inflaƟon.  The update to the Wastewater System Master Plan will include a schedule for implemenƟng the developed Capital Improvement Program project recommendaƟons. AddiƟonal ongoing details of projects and funding are available online (see Element 8.4 below for more details).  Prior to finalizing this SSMP, the City anƟcipates updaƟng this element to include addiƟonal informaƟon and details to address all requirements specified in this secƟon above.
