Agenda — Richmond City Council, June 16, 2026 (part 12 of 13)

June 16, 2026
2026
DISCUSSION:

Section 2.34.040 of the Richmond Municipal Code (RMC) (Schedule of fees and service charges) establishes the City’s process for reviewing and adjusting fees to ensure they reflect the costs of providing services. Under this provision, the City Manager reviews fees on a regular schedule and makes adjustments as needed to support cost-recovery for City operations.

Sections 13.45.010 and 13.45.020 further outline the responsibilities of the Finance Department in maintaining and updating City-levied taxes, fees, and charges. These sections require the Director of Finance to adjust fees annually, or as needed, based on changes in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI) for State and Local Government Workers. They also require the City to complete a comprehensive fee study at least once every five years.

In addition, these sections require the Director of Finance to present an annual report to the City Council listing all proposed fee adjustments. Fee changes do not take effect until approved by the City Council. The City Council may accept or reject individual adjustments but may not modify them.

USER FEES
This update of the Master Fee Schedule (MFS) adjusts user fees by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI). The ECI adjusts wage rate inflation in local governments. In this update, City staff is proposing to update fees by 4.1 percent for the fees subject to the yearly ECI update. The 4.1 percent corresponds to the change of the ECI from the previous fee adoption date of June 3, 2025.

The MFS proposed for adoption by the City Council includes the following changes and/or adjustments:

Employment Cost Index (ECI) Adjustment: The fee schedule is adjusted to reflect the change in the ECI, as provided in Section 13.45.010 of the RMC. The adjusted fees become effective 30 days after final City Council approval of the ordinance amendment and adoption of the resolution.

Fire Department: Updates align fees with the 2025 California Fire Code and improve clarity, equity, and consistency across operational permit categories.  Added / Revised: New permits for Energy Storage Systems and Fumigation/Insecticidal Fogging; clarification of Cannabis Cultivation/Plant Extraction; introduction of a tiered fee structure for scrap-tire storage including a new category for properties under 5,000 sq. ft. and updates to Other Occupancy categories and State Licensed Care Facilities to reflect current California Fire Code definitions  Removed: Elimination of obsolete Highly Combustible Storage permit categories; removal of the outdated operating-permit reference column in the Fire Department 2702

section of the MFS; and replacement of the previous O-4 scaled-fee model with a single capped fee for occupancies over 20,000 sq. ft. for the Fire & Life Safety Inspections the Other Occupancy buildings
Police/Code Enforcement: Moving certain administrative fees from the Police Department section to the Community Development – Code Enforcement section better aligns fees with the responsible department.
 Reassigned to Code Enforcement: Taxi permit fees (new driver and annual renewal), and alcohol and tobacco licensing fees
 Remaining with Police: Alcohol and tobacco decoy‑ operation fees, which remain with the Police Department as decoy operations are Police‑ run functions and should stay within the Police fee schedule
Police Department: Updated the Concealed Weapons permit process to include comprehensive background investigations and proposed adjustments to the associated fee(s) to reflect the required staff time to complete the process.

Community Development Department: This fee section has been reorganized to improve clarity and a new category of Tobacco Retail License fees is proposed, including application, annual licensing, appeal, suspension, and revocation charges.

Public Works Department: Updated the Encroachment section to improve clarity and organization.

Community Services Department (Recreation): A new Non-Resident fee tier set at 25 percent above resident rates is introduced to support equitable cost recovery. Additional updates include new Tool Library fees, including late, cleaning, and replacement charges, and revised rental and park reservation fees for the Memorial Auditorium Main Flor and Civic Center Plaza.

City-wide Employee Hourly Rates: Updated and included all currently authorized positions listed in the Position Control Report, ensuring alignment with the current approved staffing structure.

Subregional Transportation Mitigation Program (STMP): STMP fees included in the Impact Fees section are set by the West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (WCCTAC). The updated rates are effective July 1, 2026 (Attachment 4).

Master Fee Schedule Format Improvements: The MFS has been updated to improve usability and navigation. A new cover page provides direct quick‑ link access to key Community Development resources, including Planning, Building, Land Development, and the Impact Fee Calculator. In addition, a comprehensive table of contents has been added to help users quickly locate fee sections across all departments. 2703

IMPACT FEES – Phase-In Approach
Due to the significant increase in developer impact fees, the City Council adopted a multiyear phase-in approach to gradually implement the approved increases. For non-residential properties, developer impact fees would be revised over two years. Future annual increases will follow the ECI until a new study occurs in three to four years. For residential properties, the phase-in approach that began in 2024 will end in 2028. Afterwards, fees will be revised annually according to the ECI, or a new study will be conducted.

Assembly Bill 602 Requirements
On January 1, 2022, new requirements went into effect for California jurisdictions implementing impact fees. Among other changes, California Assembly Bill (AB) 602 added Section 66016.5 to the Government Code, which set guidelines for impact fee nexus studies.

Four key requirements from that section which concern the nexus study are:
 66016.5. (a) (2) When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.  66016.5. (a) (4) If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.  66016.5. (a) (5) A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development. A local agency that imposes a fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units of the development shall be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.
 66016.5. (a) (6) Large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study.

One key change described above is the methodology used to calculate residential impact fees. Previously, like many jurisdictions, the City of Richmond calculated these fees based on the number of dwelling units. Going forward, residential impact fees will be calculated based on the square footage of each unit. This updated approach is intended to provide a more equitable fee structure by aligning fees more closely with the scale of development, so that smaller dwelling units are assessed lower fees than larger units.

NEXT STEPS:

Due to recent legislation, additional technical work is required to support the Traffic Impact Fee update. This work involves developing a long-term plan that demonstrates how the City will expand its transportation infrastructure to accommodate and mitigate the impacts of new 2704

development. The Public Works Department is currently refining a list of transportation projects with assistance from one of the City’s on-call consultants. These projects may include improvements that support traffic flow, enhance safety, and address multimodal needs consistent with Senate Bill 743 (e.g., complete streets, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and transit improvements). City staff will return to the City Council with proposed updates to the Developer Impact Fees, with a focus on the Traffic Impact Fee component.

The City has also retained Willdan Financial Services to complete a comprehensive User Fee Study for all City departments, in addition to preparing the Traffic Impact Fee Report.

This City-wide study is intended to modernize the City’s fee structure, improve transparency, and better align fees with the actual cost of providing services. The User Fee Study is expected to be completed in Spring 2027.

In parallel, the City will begin a Storm Drainage Rate Adjustment Study in 2027. Consistent with statutory requirements, any proposed adjustments to storm drainage rates are expected to be presented to voters in Spring 2027.

NOTES
(Fees are supplemented by grant funding; therefore, they are not adjusted based on ECI) With the new Measure J funding allocation voted on by WCCTAC, the City of Richmond could be getting more funding. If there is a substantial amount of funding, it would be used to provide later, after hours, and weekend service which has been a request by the community. The proposed farebox fee would prepare Paratransit in the event there is more funding.

Commuter Benefit Ordinance
The annual base flat permit fee of a dedicated space for a gas-powered car share vehicle is the annual base permit fee for metered spaces and annual base permit fee for time zone (non-metered) space, when parked at thos respective spaces.

The annual permit fee of a dedicated space for a zero emission powered (ZEV) car share vehicle is based on a 25% discount off the annual base permit free for metered spaces and a 25% discount off th annual base fee for time zone (non-metered) spaces (i.e., equla to 75% of the annual base permit fee). **The annual base flat permit fee for vehicles at a time zone(non-metered) space is $40 multiplied by 12 months.
* The annual base flat permit fee for a metered space is calculated as the average gross revenue per meter during the most recent completed fiscal year.

MEETING DATE: April 10, 2026
TO: West Contra Costa Transportation Commission
FROM: Leah Greenblat, Transportation Planning Manager
SUBJECT: FY 26-27 Annual STMP Fee Adjustment

REQUESTED ACTION
Information only.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The 2019 Subregional Transportation Mitigation Program (STMP) Update became effective on July 1, 2019. The Master Cooperative Agreement, signed by all participating member agencies, specifies an automatic annual fee adjustment so that the fees are kept in sync with construction-related costs (whether inflation or deflation). The agreement links the fee adjustment to the Engineering News Record’s February San Francisco Bay Area Construction Cost Index for the prior twelve months. It should be noted that Engineering News Record’s Bay Area Construction Cost Index is a source commonly used by jurisdictions to make annual fee adjustments. This year that rate of change was +0.1%. STMP fees will be adjusted upward for FY 26-27, accordingly. WCCTAC staff is in the process of notifying partner agencies of this impending annual fee adjustment, which becomes effective July 1, 2026, so it may be incorporated into their local fee schedules.

The STMP Quarterly Reporting form for FY 26-27 is included as an attachment and reflects the higher fees for FY 26-27. Local agency staff should begin using this version of the reporting form to report STMP fees collected after July 1, 2026.

The FY 25-26 and FY 26-27 STMP fees are shown below.

Jurisdictions are required to submit this completed form to WCCTC no later than 30 days following the close of each calendar quarter; whether or not there are fees to submit, continuing through the life of the Master Cooperative Agreement.

DATE: June 16, 2026
TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM: Nickie Mastay, Deputy City Manager, Internal Services Sharrone Taylor, Director of Human Resources
Subject: Annual Public Hearing on Vacancies
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

None.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

Government Code section 3502.3 requires public
agencies to hold a public hearing to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at least once per fiscal year, prior to adoption of the budget.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: HOLD a public hearing and RECEIVE a presentation on the status of vacancies and the City’s recruitment and
retention efforts in 2025 – Human Resources (Nickie
Mastay/Sharrone Taylor 510-620-6803). This item was
continued from the May 19, 2026, and May 26, 2026,
meetings.

fiscal year, and prior to the adoption of the final budget. City staff will present the following required information at the public hearing:
 Information on the City of Richmond’s 2025 recruitment and retention efforts  The status of 2025 vacancies at the City of Richmond
 Any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process
In addition, a bargaining unit shall be entitled to make a presentation at the public hearing at which the public agency presents the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit. The hearing will follow the procedures outlined in the Council Rules of Procedure and allow each bargaining unit to present for 10 minutes, since Government Code section 3502.3 is silent on the hearing procedures, including presentation times, pre-submission of materials, and other related considerations. The Service Employees International Union, Local 1021 (SEIU Local 1021), and the Richmond Police Officers Association (RPOA) have elected to present at the public hearing.

Background
In FY 20-21, the City of Richmond had ~581 FTEs; currently, there are ~673 FTEs, a net increase of 92 FTEs. In FY 26-27, the City of Richmond is currently anticipated to be able to afford ~684 FTEs due to rising inflation, increased health care costs, class and compensation increases, and bargaining unit increases. As additional revenue and expenses are finalized, the FY 26-27 recommended FTEs will be updated. City staff will monitor recent rapid increases in inflation and, as public safety MOUs are finalized, update projections to make recommendations to the City Council. 2025 Workforce and Recruitment Summary
This summary report provides transparency on staff vacancy rates, recruitment, retention, and promotion efforts and challenges, and offers an opportunity for public comments prior to budget adoption.

2025 Factors That Inform Hiring Processes and Vacancy Rates Several factors inform recruitment, hiring, retention, promotion, and vacancy rates.

These factors include:
 Time-to-Hire: Civil service rules necessitate that we follow standardized procedures, testing requirements, public posting periods, and multiple approval steps designed to ensure fairness and transparency, along with extensive and necessary background checks.
 Applicant Pool: For specific technical and specialized jobs, there is a decline in the number of qualified applicants.
 Internal Movement: Internal promotions and transfers within the City maintain the vacancy rate. For example, when an employee leaves the City (e.g., due to retirement) a qualified internal candidate may fill that position through promotion or transfer; however, this then maintains a vacant position (the employee’s prior position) that needs to be filled.

Obstacles / Efforts
One additional factor that may be an obstacle to the recruitment and selection process is the minimum application filing period established by personnel rules. The requirement to accept applications for at least ten (10) days ensures broad access and transparency; however, it can also create unintended challenges depending on the classification. For entry-level positions, a ten-day filing period often results in a high volume of applications, many of which are likely to meet the minimum qualifications.

This can increase administrative burden, lengthen screening and selection timelines, and delay overall hiring. Conversely, for highly specialized or hard-to-fill classifications, extended recruitment windows do not necessarily yield a proportional increase in qualified applicants, resulting in prolonged vacancies despite sustained outreach efforts.

These dynamics may affect the efficiency and timeliness of hiring processes and suggest an opportunity to evaluate whether recruitment strategies and timelines can be more flexibly aligned with labor market conditions and classification-specific needs.

The Human Resources Department will use this data to evaluate whether recruitment strategies and timelines can be more flexibly aligned with labor market conditions and classification-specific needs.

2025 Retention and Vacancy Creation
Although the City brought on 91 hires, additional vacancies have been created for several reasons. These include when new positions are approved, there is internal movement such as a promotion or transfer, or when an employee leaves the organization due to retirement, voluntary resignation, or involuntary termination. In addition, the City Council has requested new programs and staffing to support their goals and priorities.

In 2025, 108 new vacancies were created for the following reasons:
 Newly added positions: 2
 Internal promotions that created vacancies: 28
 Internal transfers that created vacancies: 3
 Total number of separations: 75
o Retirement: 22
o Resignation: 36
o Involuntary:14
o Other: 3
The City’s annual turnover rate was 11 percent, calculated as 75 separations divided by 659 (the average filled positions).

Reasons for Leaving the City
The chart below summarizes the four most common reasons employees cited for voluntarily separating from City employment. Information was gathered from a resignation letter, a conversation with the employee, and/or a voluntary exit questionnaire. For 13 voluntarily separated employees, the staff does not have information about their reasons for leaving.

Definitions
 Retirement: permanent separation from one’s job position due to an eligible employee electing to receive retirement benefits through CalPERS.  Resignations: Formal and voluntary separation from employment initiated by the employee, typically through written notice.
o Another Job: Separation from current job position to pursue employment with another organization, company, or self-employment. o Personal Pursuits/Reasons: Reasons attributed to personal circumstances or life changes identified by the employee, including relocating out of the area, going back to school, family commitments, etc.
2813

Page 6 of 7 ends

June 16, 2026
o Other Resignation: The City does not have a known reason for their resignation
Additional Data Provided through Exit Surveys
Employees voluntarily leaving City employment were given the opportunity to complete an optional exit questionnaire to share information regarding the factors influencing their decision to leave and about their experience.

The questionnaire was completed by 14 employees (25% of the 58 employees who retired or resigned). Eight (8) of those employees’ main reasons for leaving were either another job or personal pursuits/reasons. Although data is limited, here are the factors they cited regarding their decision to leave (employees could choose as many factors as applicable):
 Career advancement (higher or different position) 5
 Family/personal reasons 3
 School 2
 Flexible hours 2
 Better benefits 1
 Telework 1
 Conflict 1
Regarding overall satisfaction, the average rating was 4 out of 5. Respondents were given the opportunity to provide additional feedback on their supervision and work environment.

Notably, 86 percent of respondents felt they were almost always given the tools to succeed and that their supervisors followed the rules and procedures. There was a 14 percent decrease between “almost always” (57%) and “usually” (43%) for being encouraged and listened to, indicating an area for improvement.

What is AB2561?
California Assembly Bill 2561 (2024), effective
January 1, 2025, mandates that local public agencies
hold a public hearing at least once per fiscal year to
report on job vacancies, recruitment, and retention
efforts. If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total
number of authorized full-time positions, the bill
would require the public agency, upon request of the
recognized employee organization, to include
specified information during the public hearing. By
imposing new duties on local public agencies, the bill
would impose a state-mandated local program.

Policies, Procedures, and Recruitment Enhancements
• Personnel Rules – Minimum Application Period (10 days) • High volume for entry-level roles: Extended filing periods often generate a large number of applications, including many that would meet minimum qualifications
• Increased volume requires additional staff time for selection screening, which can increase hiring timelines
• Limited yield for specialized roles: Longer recruitment windows do not necessarily result in more qualified applicants for hard-to-fill or specialized positions, contributing to longer time-to-fill • One-size timeline impacts efficiency
• Creates an opportunity to adjust timelines by role
• NEOGOV System Enhancements
• Continued implementing NEOGOV modules, to include streamlined onboarding process for new employees (implemented)
• Learn Module: Training by Classification – Courses are personalized by department and classification to guarantee that new employees acquire skills tailored to their specific classification The City routinely evaluates relevant policies, procedures, and recruitment efforts to pinpoint any possible barriers within its hiring process.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The City currently prohibits new sewer connections to the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer, halting new development in the area. To allow limited projects to proceed while
long-term solutions are developed, City staff proposes
amending the Richmond Municipal Code to permit the
use of temporary sewage holding tanks.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: INTRODUCE an ordinance (first reading) amending Chapter 12.19 of the Richmond Municipal Code entitled

DISCUSSION:

The Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer (KBSS) Moratorium was enacted due to limited sanitary sewer capacity and infrastructure constraints within the Keller Beach area. The moratorium restricts the issuance of new sewer connections to protect public health and prevent overloading of the existing wastewater system while long term infrastructure solutions are evaluated and implemented.

As a result of the moratorium, certain properties within the affected area are unable to connect to the City’s sanitary sewer system, which has constrained development, redevelopment, and in some cases continued lawful occupancy. Temporary sewage holding tanks have been identified as a viable interim wastewater management solution in circumstances where permanent sewer service is unavailable, provided such systems are designed, installed, operated, and monitored in a manner that protects public health and the environment.

The proposed Temporary Sewage Holding Tank Construction Standards and Permitting Process establish a clear, enforceable framework for the temporary use of sewage holding tanks within the Keller Beach moratorium area. These standards allow development or continued use of properties to proceed on a limited and controlled basis while maintaining strict safeguards, including design requirements, setback criteria, alarm and monitoring systems, operational permits, and mandatory transition and abandonment requirements once permanent sewer service becomes available.

Although the immediate need for these standards is driven by the Keller Beach moratorium, the proposed action is intentionally structured to apply City-wide. Sanitary sewer capacity constraints, emergency conditions, or other infrastructure limitations may arise in other areas of the City in the future. Adopting uniform standards and a permitting process currently ensures the City is prepared to address similar circumstances consistently, transparently, and defensibly without requiring ad-hoc or project specific policy decisions.

Importantly, adoption of these standards does not lift or weaken the Keller Beach moratorium, nor does it guarantee approval of development projects. Each application for a temporary sewage holding tank will continue to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for compliance with the adopted standards, applicable Municipal Code provisions, and all other City requirements. The standards function as a regulatory tool that allows limited interim wastewater solutions while preserving the City’s authority to enforce the moratorium and require ultimate connection to permanent sewer infrastructure.

By adopting the proposed standards and permitting process, the City establishes a consistent regulatory framework that balances the need for limited development flexibility with the City’s responsibility to protect public health, environmental resources, and wastewater infrastructure both within the Keller Beach area and throughout the City 2839

ORDINANCE NO. XX-26 N.S,

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA,

AMENDING ARTICLE XII OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND BY ADDING AND AMENDING CHAPTER 12.19 TO REGULATE TEMPORARY SEWAGE

HOLDING TANK SYSTEMS
WHEREAS, the City of Richmond (“City”) is authorized by California Constitution, Article XI, Section 7 to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws and that serve and protect the health, safety or welfare of the public; and
WHEREAS, the City approved and adopted Ordinance No. 09-19 N.S. amending Article XII of the Municipal Code by adding a Chapter 12.19 to regulate septic tanks and other onsite wastewater treatment systems; and
WHEREAS, the City approved and adopted Ordinance No. 01-22 N.S. establishing a temporary moratorium on the issuance of building permits requiring sewer connections to the Keller Beach sanitary sewer; and declaring the urgency thereof; and WHEREAS, the City approved and adopted Ordinance No. 05-22 N.S. establishing a 10- month and 15-day extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 01-22 imposing a temporary moratorium on issuance of building permits requiring new sewer connections to the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer; and declaring an urgency thereof; and
WHEREAS, the City approved and adopted Ordinance No. 02-23 N.S. establishing a temporary moratorium for the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer; and WHEREAS, the City approved and adopted Ordinance No. 03-23 N.S. establishing a 22- month and 15-day extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 02-23 imposing a temporary moratorium on issuance of building permits requiring new sewer connections to the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer; and declaring an urgency thereof.; and
WHEREAS, the City approved and adopted Ordinance No. 06-25 N.S. establishing an urgency ordinance regarding Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer Moratorium; and WHEREAS, the City approved and adopted Ordinance No. 10-25 N.S, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, extending the existing moratorium (22 months and 15 days) on the issuance of building permits requiring a new sewer connection to the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer (KBSS) and declaring the urgency thereof pursuant to Government Code Section 65858; and
WHEREAS, the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer (KBSS) Moratorium was enacted due to limited sanitary sewer capacity and infrastructure constraints, restricting the issuance of new sewer connections to protect public health and prevent overloading of the existing wastewater system; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the KBSS Moratorium, certain properties within the affected area are unable to connect to the City’s sanitary sewer system, thereby constraining development, redevelopment, and continued lawful occupancy; and WHEREAS, temporary sewage holding tanks are an accepted interim wastewater management solution when permanent sewer service is unavailable, provided such systems 2841
Ord. No. XX-XX N.S.

are properly designed, installed, operated, and monitored to protect public health and the environment; and
WHEREAS, the City currently does not have adopted construction standards or a formal permitting framework governing the use of temporary sewage holding tanks in areas subject to sanitary sewer connection restrictions, including the Keller Beach area; and WHEREAS, the Public Works Department, in coordination with its consultant Watearth, has prepared the City of Richmond Temporary Sewage Holding Tank Construction Standards and the Temporary Sewage Holding Tank Permitting Process to establish clear technical criteria, performance objectives, and administrative procedures for the temporary use of sewage holding tanks; and
WHEREAS, although the immediate need for these standards is driven by the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer Moratorium, similar sanitary sewer capacity constraints, emergency conditions, or infrastructure limitations may arise in other areas of the City; and WHEREAS, adoption of uniform standards and a permitting process applicable citywide will ensure consistent, transparent, and defensible regulation of temporary sewage holding tanks while preserving the City’s authority to require ultimate connection to permanent sewer infrastructure when available; and
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND does ordain as follows based on the following findings and determinations:

SECTION 1. Findings and Determinations.

A. The regulation of temporary sewage holding tank systems is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Richmond.

B. Due to limited sanitary sewer capacity, including but not limited to the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer Moratorium, certain properties are unable to connect to the City’s sanitary sewer system, constraining lawful occupancy and development.

C. In the absence of permanent sewer service, temporary sewage holding tank systems may provide an interim wastewater solution; however, such systems must be properly designed, installed, operated, and maintained to prevent risks to public health and the environment.

D. The establishment of uniform construction standards and a permitting process for temporary sewage holding tank systems ensures consistent, transparent, and enforceable regulation throughout the City.

E. Adoption of this ordinance will allow the City to effectively manage interim wastewater solutions while preserving the City’s authority to require connection to permanent sewer infrastructure when available.

F. This ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment because the ordinance establishes regulatory standards and does not authorize or approve any specific development project unless the requirements are met and approved through the permitting process.

SECTION 2: Amendment of Article XII. Article XII of the Richmond Municipal Code is hereby amended by amending Chapter 12.19 to read as follows:

Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
1 1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this document is to establish standards and procedures for the temporary use of sewage holding tanks in areas of the City of Richmond that are affected by sanitary sewer connection moratoriums. These standards are intended to address immediate infrastructure limitations, particularly in the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer (KBSS) moratorium area, while enabling controlled development and safeguarding public health and environmental quality. The KBSS moratorium area is shown in Appendix A.

Although the initial application of these standards is focused on the KBSS area, the provisions outlined in this document are designed to be adaptable and enforceable in any future moratorium zones citywide. They are also applicable in areas not under the moratorium, but where implementation may still be necessary, such as for emergency backups.

Temporary sewage holding tanks serve as interim sewage containment systems where conventional sewer service is currently unavailable. These systems must be designed, installed, and maintained per the criteria outlined in this document to prevent public health hazards, groundwater contamination, nuisance conditions, and structural failures. A schematic example of a sewage holding tank system is shown in Figure 1. A sewage holding tank example is shown in Figure 2.

This document provides comprehensive technical requirements for the setback, design, installation, operation, maintenance, and eventual decommissioning of temporary sewage holding tanks. This document also includes guidance on permitting, stakeholder responsibilities, and procedures for transitioning properties to permanent sewer infrastructure as it becomes available.

The sewage holding tank standards are to be applied in coordination with applicable local ordinances, state health and safety codes, and relevant engineering best practices. The City of Richmond will coordinate with Contra Costa County, as appropriate, to ensure consistency with County septic and onsite wastewater regulations; however, temporary sewage holding tanks governed by these Standards are reviewed and approved by the City under Municipal Code Chapter 12.19, “Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems”.

1.1 Authority and Adoption
These Temporary Sewage Holding Tank Standards are adopted by the City Council of the City of Richmond under Municipal Code Chapter 12.19, ‘Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems’. These standards are performance-based and are intended to protect public health and the environment. They also provide a temporary wastewater management option where sanitary sewer service is unavailable due to a moratorium or other constraint.

The City of Richmond is the authority having jurisdiction for the review and approval of temporary sewage holding tank systems under these Standards. In exercising this authority, the City will apply the Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018) and other applicable state requirements.

The City, not Contra Costa County, is the reviewing and permitting agency for temporary sewage holding tanks regulated under Chapter 12.19.

Compliance with these standards is determined by demonstrated achievement of performance outcomes, including protection of public health, prevention of environmental impacts, and reliable system operation. At a minimum, the system must operate without overflows, nuisance odors, or groundwater contamination. The system must also support a timely and verifiable transition to a permanent sanitary sewer connection when service becomes available.

Compliance is demonstrated through documented operation, maintenance, and inspections, including required pumping notices and manifest records for collection, transport, and disposal at an approved facility. Compliance is also demonstrated through submittals confirming sewer connection and holding tank abandonment within the required compliance period. 2858

3 Prescriptive criteria in these Standards (including but not limited to setbacks, sizing formulas, material requirements, alarm provisions, and default pumping frequencies) are deemed-tocomply “Safe Harbor” provisions. Applicants may use these provisions without additional technical justification. Alternative designs may be approved where the applicant demonstrates equal or better performance to the satisfaction of the City.

This document includes several safe harbor provisions. These include the minimum requirements in Table 1, materials selection criteria in Table 2, sewage holding tank sizing formulas in Section

3.1, and pumping frequency provisions in Section 5.3. A sample Safe Harbor (Deemed-toComply) applicant checklist is included in Appendix B.

1.2 Performance Objectives
The objectives of these Standards are to:

1. Prevent discharge of sewage to the ground surface, storm drains, surface waters, or the City’s stormwater system.

2. Prevent contamination of groundwater, public drinking water wells, and other potable water supplies.

3. Avoid structural failure, settlement, or buoyancy-related movement of sewage holding tanks and associated appurtenances.

4. Prevent public health nuisances, including sewage backups into occupied structures and objectionable odors at property boundaries and public right-of-way.

5. Prevent standing sewage and unsanitary conditions onsite.

6. Provide overfill prevention through alarms and operational controls sufficient to give warning before the tank reaches full capacity.

7. Ensure that temporary sewage holding tanks can be safely and promptly decommissioned, and that structures are transitioned to permanent sewer service or other approved onsite wastewater treatment systems when available.

The City may approve alternative methods, materials, or designs when a qualified professional demonstrates, through calculations, manufacturer data, monitoring, or other evidence, that the proposed system will meet or exceed these performance objectives.

2.0 Site and Setback Requirements
The listed criteria are presumptively acceptable designs for site and setback compliance.

Alternatives may be approved by the City if the applicant demonstrates equal or better performance (e.g., through calculations, monitoring, or manufacturer data).

This section details the mandatory setback distances between sewage holding tanks and various site features. These requirements ensure that installations are properly positioned to protect public health, water resources, and infrastructure. Below-ground sewage holding tanks need proper groundwater clearance and suitable setbacks, especially in unstable soils. Aboveground sewage holding tanks require secure anchoring, secondary containment, and clear access. In flood or coastal zones, sewage holding tanks must be designed to withstand wave impact, erosion, and storm conditions. The site and setback requirements apply to all temporary sewage holding tank installations citywide, with immediate application in the KBSS moratorium area.

2.1 General Requirements
Minimum setback rules for sewage holding tank installations are detailed in Table 1 (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for 2859
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
4 Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018). Where compliance with minimum setbacks is not feasible due to site constraints, an alternative site and setback plan must be submitted by a registered professional engineer in California and approved by the City of Richmond under Chapter 12.19.040, in a manner consistent with Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal. If applicable, for properties with temporary sewage holding tanks that were legally installed prior to these regulations being adopted that may not be in full compliance, owners should still follow the minimum setback as closely as feasible.

2.2 Site and Setback for Below-ground Sewage
Holding Tanks
Below-ground sewage holding tanks must be sited and constructed in a manner that protects public health, water quality, and structural integrity. Below-ground sewage holding tanks have 2860
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
5 different structural, geotechnical, and hydrology considerations. Installations shall comply with the following requirements:

2.2.1 Groundwater and Buoyancy Control

1. Sewage holding tanks must maintain a minimum vertical clearance of two feet above the seasonal high groundwater table unless engineered buoyancy countermeasures are provided (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018).

It is also important to follow all sewage holding tank manufacturers’ recommendations related to buoyancy.

2. Where groundwater is present within five feet of the excavation bottom, sewage holding tanks shall be installed with anti-floatation slabs or other engineered anchoring systems to resist buoyant uplift. An example of an anchoring system is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: An Example of a Fiberglass Sewage Holding Tank with an Anchoring System

2.2.2 Soil Suitability

1. A geotechnical evaluation is required if the site contains expansive soils, unstable landforms, or is located in a designated landslide or liquefaction zone. In addition, a geotechnical evaluation may also be required by the Building Division for other conditions, as specified in California Building Code (CBC) 1803.5. As an additional document, the Landslide Potential Map is located in Appendix E, while the Liquefaction Potential Map is located in Appendix F.

2. Excavation and backfill must use materials and compaction methods per the sewage holding tank manufacturer’s specifications and geotechnical recommendations.
2861
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
6 2.2.3 Soil Considerations

1. Design considerations should take into account the type of soil and subsoil. A minimum of 15 inches of soil cover must be placed on top of the sewage holding tank, but not sufficient alone under traffic loading. The top layer of the soil cover must be level with the natural grade.

2.2.4 Load Considerations

1. Below-ground sewage holding tanks located under driveways, parking areas, or other vehicular access points must be designed to withstand HS-20 loading or greater as required by site use.

2. Installations under structures or hardscape features are prohibited unless specifically engineered and approved by the City of Richmond, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations.

2.2.5 Setback Adjustments

1. The standard setbacks in Table 1 apply. However, where slope stability or groundwater conditions warrant, the City may increase setback requirements or require additional analysis.

2.3 Site and Setback for Above-ground Sewage
Holding Tanks
Above-ground sewage holding tanks present setback challenges related to visibility, access, containment, and safety. Above-ground sewage holding tanks shall comply with the following site and setback requirements:

2.3.1 Stability and Anchoring

1. All above-ground sewage holding tanks shall be anchored to resist lateral loads per CBC Chapter 16 and local lateral design speeds (minimum 100 mph 3-second gust, per ASCE 7).

2. Sewage holding tanks must be placed on a level, engineered pad or concrete slab capable of supporting the full tank weight, including liquid contents.

3. All above-ground sewage holding tanks must be supported by a level, engineered foundation.

2.3.2 Secondary Containment

1. Above-ground sewage holding tanks with a capacity of over 1,000 gallons must include secondary containment equal to at least 150% of the sewage holding tank volume (California Water Boards, California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Division 3, Chapter 16, 2020).

2. Containment areas must be lined, impermeable, and resistant to sewage degradation. While concrete may be used, it must be properly coated or sealed to achieve impermeability and chemical resistance. An example of an above-ground sewage holding tank containment is shown in Figure 4.
2862
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
7 Figure 4: An Example of an Above-ground Sewage Holding Tank with a Second Containment

2.3.3 Access and Maintenance

1. Sewage holding tanks shall be located with a minimum 10-foot clear zone for vehicle access (pump trucks) and unobstructed maintenance. Where feasible, a paved or otherwise stabilized path shall be provided to support all-weather service access.

2. A safe and stable working area shall always be maintained around the sewage holding tank.

2.3.4 Screening

1. Above-ground sewage holding tanks visible from public rights-of-way or residential properties must incorporate screening measures such as fencing, vegetation, or architectural enclosures consistent with City of Richmond’s Zoning and Subdivision Regulations (City of Richmond, Zoning and Subdivision Regulations, 2025) and neighborhood aesthetic guidelines.

2. In accordance with the Screening Regulations of the City of Richmond, all mechanical equipment, including sewage holding tanks if visible from public areas, must be screened from public view. If a sewage holding tank must be installed in the front yard, it will also be subject to these screening requirements to ensure it is not visible from public view.

3. An above-ground holding tank located facing a street must be screened to a height of 12 inches above the top of the tank, unless the required screening interferes with utility access, in which case reasonable accommodation must be provided.

2.3.5 Setback Considerations

1. Above-ground sewage holding tanks shall meet all applicable setbacks per Table 1 and shall not be placed within utility easements, public sidewalks, or within 5 feet of property lines unless specifically approved.

2.3.6 Flood Zone Restrictions

1. Above-ground sewage holding tank foundations in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-designated flood zones must be elevated 18 inches above the base elevation (BFE) or otherwise protected by the City of Richmond Floodplain Management Ordinance.
2863
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
8 2.4 Site and Setback for Coastal Areas
In areas at risk of high-velocity flooding, wave impact, erosion, or storm-related damage, a sewage holding tank must incorporate specific design measures to ensure their protection and functionality:

1. Sewage holding tanks should be oriented to resist or minimize wave impacts and moving floodwaters.

2. The narrowest dimension of the sewage holding tank should be located perpendicular to the flood flow.

3. The sewage holding tank must be located landward of the building line when possible and landward of the easement at all times to ensure it will not release contaminants in a flood and can be used after flood waters recede.

4. The system must be designed and certified by a registered professional engineer in California to withstand damage during coastal storms.

5. The engineer shall submit calculations and drawings demonstrating that the temporary sewage holding tank meets applicable FEMA coastal zone construction criteria and local floodplain management regulations.

6. The setback requirements are intended to protect wells, surface water, and slope stability to prevent release of contaminants during flooding, wave impact, erosion, and coastal storms.

7. Alternative siting is acceptable where a qualified professional demonstrates equivalent protection (e.g., liners, structural supports, and additional containment).

Alternative setbacks may be approved if standard setbacks are not feasible, provided the design is prepared by a qualified engineer and approved by the City of Richmond, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations.

3.0 Design Requirements
The listed criteria are “presumptively acceptable designs” for design and construction compliance. Alternatives may be approved by the City if the applicant demonstrates equal or better performance (e.g., through calculations, monitoring, or manufacturer data). The Design Criteria Section outlines design and construction requirements, including minimum standards that must be met to obtain the construction permit. The Design Criteria Section covers critical aspects such as sewage holding tank sizing based on the intended application, appropriate material selection depending on installation conditions, and necessary features like alarms, plumbing, access points, and termination fittings to promote system efficiency and safety.

3.1 Sewage Holding Tank Sizing
The size of the sewage holding tank depends directly on the intended application, which includes single-family residences, multi-family homes, and other types of structures and land use.

Smaller sewage holding tanks require a more frequent pumping schedule. An oversized sewage holding tank that is pumped too infrequently can lead to odors arising from stagnant sewage.

The required minimum size for sewage holding tanks varies according to the type of structure 2864
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
9 and its associated land use (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018).

The sizing formulas below are intended as default minimums; however, an alternative volume may be considered where project-specific information demonstrates that the proposed design will still meet alarm/overflow performance targets.

1. Residential (Single-Family): For one or two bedrooms, the minimum capacity that will serve the dwelling is 1,000 gallons.

2. Residential (Three or More Bedrooms): For three or more bedrooms, the minimum capacity is 1,000 gallons for the first two bedrooms and 250 gallons for each additional bedroom.

3. Other Structures (Other than Single-Family Residential): The minimum capacity is calculated by multiplying the peak daily sewage flow of the structure by 0.75 and adding 1,125 gallons.

3.2 Materials
This subsection explains how to select appropriate sewage holding tank materials based on installation conditions and regulatory standards. Different installation scenarios (below-ground vs. above-ground) may require different material choices from among the approved options. The following requirements are mandatory and provide guidance for appropriate material selection:

1. The sewage holding tank must be watertight.

2. The sewage holding tank must be certified by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) as per Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018.

3. If installed below-ground and exposed to traffic (e.g., under pavement or driveways), the sewage holding tank must be traffic-rated. The materials must withstand HS-20 load vehicles, as specified in Section 2.2.4 Load Considerations.

Table 2 summarizes approved sewage holding tank materials and material suitability for different installation scenarios, along with key limitations or considerations for each.

Figure 5: Sample Illustration of an Above-ground Polyethylene Sewage Holding Tank Figure 6: Sample Illustration of a Precast Sewage Holding Tank Located Below-ground

3.3 Alarms
Properly functioning alarm systems are critical to the safe operation of temporary sewage holding tanks. The installed sewage holding tank must be equipped with a high-water sensing device and high-water audible and visual alarms. All alarm equipment must be located where it will not interfere with pumping, is not subject to mechanical damage, and is accessible for 2867
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
12 repairs and adjustments. Alarms should be weatherproof or placed in a protective enclosure such as a covered area or box. An example of an alarm and setup is shown in Figures 7 and 8.

1. Alarm Location: The alarm system should be attached to the structure served, either on a pipe stand, or a wooden post within five feet of the structure (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018).

2. Alarm Settings: The alarm system installed in each sewage holding tank will need to indicate when the sewage holding tank is approximately 75% filled.

3. Electrical Consideration: The alarm system must be installed on a separate electrical circuit. Each installation must have an electrical disconnect within sight of the sewage holding tank.

Figure 7: Sample Illustration of an Alarm
Figure 8: Sample Illustration of an Alarm Setup

3.4 Plumbing and Piping
This section outlines plumbing and piping requirements for sewage holding tank systems, including water metering, backflow prevention, overflow control, approved pipe materials, watertight connections, and provisions for gravity flow and above-ground plumbing:
2868
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
13 1. Water Meter: Any building or structure served by a sewage holding tank shall have a water meter, or meters, installed that measures all water that will be discharged as sewage from the building or structure.

2. Backflow Preventers: Backflow preventers should be installed on all sewage holding tanks to prevent backing up of sewage into the building and discharge of sewage into floodwater. Devices must be suitable for sewage conditions, including stainless steel models or those certified under ASSE 1013, or equivalent certifications designed for sewage use.

3. Overflow: Overflows must be above the base flood elevation.

4. Pipe Material: Use Schedule 40 PVC pipe and Schedule 40 PVC connection fittings for all transport lines (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018).

5. Plumbing Connections: Plumbing connections must be watertight.

6. Gravity Flow to Tank: Conventional plumbing requirements apply.

7. Pressure Flow to Tank: Pump activation and deactivation must be double controlled by float switches within the pump chamber and sewage holding tank. This is intended to prevent pumping excess sewage into the sewage holding tank. Exact elevations shall be determined based on tank geometry and manufacturer recommendations to ensure protection against overfill.

8. Above-ground Tank Plumbing: This configuration creates potential for physical damage to piping and tanks. Whenever piping is above-ground, it must be adequately protected from damage in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) ß 305. Where multiple, interconnected tanks are installed, connections must be connected by differential settling using a common slab designed per ACI 318, flexible connections, or engineered bedding systems.

9. Future Connection to the City’s Sanitary Sewer: When the connection to the sanitary sewer becomes available, a disconnection valve and bypass piping must be predesigned to enable transition without excavation of primary building sewer lines. The disconnection valve and bypass piping must be installed at the time the temporary sewage holding tank is installed. Pre-installation ensures a simple future connection transition process to the City's sanitary sewer (e.g. opening a valve). a. Disconnection valves must be installed downstream of the sewage holding tank outlet if gravity discharge is available (Onsite Wastewater Treatment System, California Code of Regulations, 2007). For pressurized or pumped systems, valves should be placed at a designated cleanout access point.

Additional guidelines on clean out requirements are provided in Section 708 of the IPC.
b. The plumbing layout must facilitate isolation of the sewage holding tank and rerouting of flow to the sewer. This can be achieved by installing a T-junction with a capped branch oriented toward the future sewer connection.

Additional guidelines on sanitary drainage and sewer are provided in Section 709 of the California Plumbing Code.
2869
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
14 3.5 Access
Well-designed access points are essential for the system's long-term functionality and operational efficiency. For below-ground sewage holding tanks, it is important that the sewage holding tank is accessible at ground level. Accessibility is accomplished using a catch-basin riser and access cover.

1. Access Points: Sewage holding tanks greater than 2,000 gallons must have multiple access points. Service access or pumping access ports must allow for efficient pumping of all contents.

2. Access Riser: A waterproof access riser with a gas-tight lid and seal must extend from the maintenance hole of each sewage holding tank compartment to the finished grade. The riser must be constructed of polyethylene, have a minimum diameter of 24 inches, and be of a size sufficient for the sewage holding tank maintenance hole.

Access risers must be traffic rated in areas that are surfaced by concrete, asphalt, or similar paving, or subject to vehicular traffic.

3.6 Termination Fittings
This subsection covers the connections and fittings necessary for system operation, highlighting the importance of proper ventilation, drainage, and provisions for future sewer connection.

Termination fittings are essential for proper system function. Well-designed plumbing elements prevent odor issues, support waste flow, and facilitate the eventual transition to permanent sewer service. Installers must ensure correct venting and drainage to maintain system integrity and performance.

1. The sewage holding tank shall be vented at the highest point (at the top) of the tank by one of the following methods: 1.25-inch minimum diameter individual vent pipe extending undiminished in size through the roof.

2. A wet vent may also serve as a drain line, as long as the section acting as the drain is one pipe size larger than the trap arm it serves.

3. Liquid waste holding tank drain opening shall be a minimum 1.50-inch pipe size.

4. Steel piping is not recommended due to the susceptibility to corrosion.

3.7 Buoyancy
Effective buoyancy control is crucial in the Richmond coastal environment and varies based on whether the system is below or above-ground:

1. Below-ground: The sewage holding tank must be inherently non-buoyant. A sewage holding tank is non-buoyant if installed above the groundwater elevation, weight of the empty tank exceeds buoyant forces, or “side wings” anchor the tank into surrounding soil. The sewage holding tank must be able to withstand traffic loading if the area is subject to vehicular traffic loads. One criterion would be to have a minimum of 15 inches of soil cover over the sewage holding tank to enhance stability and protection.
2870
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
15 2. Above-ground: Must be designed and constructed to function as needed and retain shape, integrity, and watertightness. The buoyancy component must provide adequate support for all associated piping.

4.0 Installation Procedures
This section provides guidelines and regulatory considerations for the installation and inspection of sewage holding tanks. This section is intended to guide stakeholders—such as contractors, inspectors, and site planners—through the correct procedures for installations. The section emphasizes proper sewage holding tank placement, testing for watertight integrity, and compliance with the City of Richmond’s inspection protocols, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations, to ensure safe and effective sewage management systems.

4.1 Installation
Sewage holding tanks must meet approved standards and be securely installed in a location to be removable for service, repair, or replacement without the necessity of removing permanent, structural, mechanical, or electrical equipment (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018).

Sewage holding tank installations will not be approved if the site is suitable for another type of private sewage disposal system. Installation will follow once the City of Richmond approves the construction permit, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations.

Additional details regarding the permitting process will be provided in the permit section.

1. Firm Bedding (above-ground): A sewage holding tank must be installed level on a firm bedding of compacted soil, sand, or gravel in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. Where sewage holding tanks are to be located on sloped terrain (greater than 5%), areas of fill, or near drainage paths, bedding must be designed by a qualified professional.

2. Pipes: All pipes that pass through a sewage holding tank must be sealed with a watertight sealant. In accordance with ASTM C923, examples of acceptable sealing methods include flexible rubber boots (commonly used for maintenance hole), or compression gaskets (commonly used to connect reinforced concrete maintenance hole or pipes) designed to maintain a seal under hydrostatic pressure.

3. Watertightness: Temporary sewage holding tanks must be demonstrated to be watertight by field testing conducted during installation in the presence of the City of Richmond representative.

4. Testing Procedure: Fill sewage holding tanks with water 2 inches into riser connections at least 24 hours prior to commencement of the test and mark water level. The test consists of a one-hour observation period. The absence of any water level drop during this period is considered a passing test. If the water level drops, the tank must be resealed and retested.

5. Cover: A utilized tank may not be covered until after the City of Richmond representative has conducted an inspection of the tank and its connections.

4.2 Inspection
The City of Richmond, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations, is responsible for inspecting various aspects of sewage systems to ensure 2871
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
16 compliance with safety and operational standards. This step is integral to the operational requirements to ensure that sewage holding tank systems meet the required health and safety standards. Additional information regarding the operational requirements will be covered in the Permit Process Section.

1. Non-buoyancy in high groundwater areas or conditions;

2. Watertightness of the sewage holding tank, tested at site after installation, by filling with water;

3. Leak-proof nature of the service access(es), access ports, risers, lids, and covers;

4. Methods to secure the lids and covers from inappropriate or unapproved access;

5. Methods of venting provided by the design and installation. Venting should exhaust above the roof line of the building;

6. Equipment and methods for cleaning sewage spills; and

7. Alarm functions.

5.0 Operation and Maintenance Process
This section addresses the ongoing requirements for maintaining a functional sewage holding tank system. The operations and maintenance process details odor control measures for both gravity and pressure flow systems, workplace practices to prevent contamination, and proper procedures for wastewater removal and disposal. These guidelines help ensure safe operation and prevent environmental contamination throughout the system's service life.

5.1 Odor Control
The process outlines the necessary measures to control odors, ensure leak-proof seals, and properly vent sewage holding tanks in both gravity and pressure flow systems:

1. All covers must be leak-proof to prevent infiltration or exfiltration of liquid or the escape of nuisance odors or hazardous gases.

2. Gravity Flow to the Sewage Holding Tank: Separate venting directly from the sewage holding tank is required since gases will not adequately vent through the pressurized line from a sewage pump. Vent pipes should terminate at a height sufficient to ensure the dispersion of odors and gases, and must be located away from windows, doors, walkways, and other areas where human activity regularly occurs.

3. Pressure Flow to the Sewage Holding Tank: Direct venting of the sewage holding tank is required since gases will not adequately vent through the pressurized line from a sewage pump. Vent pipes must terminate at a height sufficient to ensure the dispersion of odors and gases, and must be located away from windows, doors, walkways, and other areas where human activity regularly occurs.

5.2 Good Workplace and Residential Practices
Proper handling and maintenance of the sewage holding tank are crucial to prevent contamination, support emergency response, and ensure safe operations. This subsection outlines key practices such as monitoring, labeling, and employee/household user training for managing the sewage. The Basic Maintenance Checklist for Household Sewage Holding Tanks is shown in Appendix C.
2872
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
17 1. The sewage holding tank must remain closed at all times except when sewage is being added or removed.

2. Conduct and document visual inspections of the sewage holding tank and piping for leaks. Document periodic tests of the sound and visual alarms, too.

3. Label the sewage holding tank or place a sign near the access cover with the words, " Non-Hazardous Sewage". The sign serves as a reminder for employees or household users and alerts emergency first responders unfamiliar with your business or household processes and practices.

4. Train employees or household users about spill prevention and clean-up to minimize the possibility of contaminants entering the sewage holding tank.

5. In the event of a leak or spill, there should be an appropriate response measure to collect, contain and clean-up the sewage. In the event of a chemical or oil spill, report the spill to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), even if the material is captured in the sewage holding tank. Refer to Appendix D for the Spill Response and Reporting Guideline.

6. No hazardous waste shall be deposited in the sewage holding tank.

5.3 Disposal Methods
This section outlines the requirements and procedures for the proper pumping and disposal of wastewater from sewage holding tanks. It covers the necessary access points for efficient pumping, the frequency of tank servicing, the method of sewage removal, and the requirements for disposal of hazardous waste:

1. Temporary Sewage Holding Tanks must be pumped at least once per week, or at a frequency demonstrated by metering or records to prevent the tank from exceeding 75% of working volume between pump-outs to avoid spills, backups, or nuisance conditions.

2. Removal of sewage from holding tanks shall be accomplished in a clean and sanitary manner, by means of a vacuum hose, and shall be disposed into a leakproof tank truck. In addition, a licensed sewage sludge hauler must obtain a Richmond Business License Number. Operators are also required to obtain a permit decal for their sewage pumping vehicles. The permit decal, as required by Section 420-6.1206 of Contra Costa County Ordinance Code 420-6.606, must be displayed permanently to the rear of the sewage pumping vehicle.

6.0 Notification Requirements
The notification requirements align with the permit processes, inspection requirements, and operational standards already established in the document, while ensuring proper oversight and emergency response capabilities for the temporary sewage holding tank systems throughout the City of Richmond.

6.1 Pre-Installation Notification
For the procedure of abandoning an onsite wastewater treatment system, the property owners must provide an advanced notification to the appropriate authorities before installing a sewage holding tank system:
2873
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
18 1. City of Richmond Notification: Written notification must be submitted to the City of Richmond to schedule required inspections. Refer to the Permit Process Section for more detais about the Construction Permit.

City of Richmond
19 7.1 Removal and Off-Site Disposal of Sewage Holding
Tank and Contents
The City recommends prioritizing the removal and proper disposal of sewage holding tank systems, particularly those installed underground, to avoid potential confusion or issues for future property owners or tenants. Abandonment procedures for sewage holding tanks, with provisions for removing and disposing of materials off-site:

1. All contents must be removed from the sewage holding tank and hauled away by a licensed sewage sludge hauler.

2. The lid of the sewage holding tank must be removed and either recycled or disposed of at a permitted solid waste facility.

3. The sewage holding tank must be excavated, removed, and disposed of at a permitted solid waste facility or abandoned in place.

4. All above-ground appurtenances, including vents, risers, and electrical alarm systems, must be removed and disposed appropriately. Vents, risers, and electrical alarms could be disposed of in a solid waste landfill approved for construction and demolition debris.

7.2 On-Site Abandonment of Sewage Holding Tanks
Guidelines for in-place abandonment of sewage holding tanks as part of the abandonment process:

1. If the sewage holding tank is abandoned in place, a sufficient number of holes must be made in the bottom of the tank to prevent accumulation of surface water in or above the tank.

2. A sewage holding tank that is abandoned in place must be filled with pea gravel, drain rock, or compacted native soil.

3. Any remaining piping and valves must be cut and capped using corrosion-resistant and watertight plugs or refer to Section 3.4 Plumbing and Piping for the details of connecting to the City’s Sanitary Sewer without excavation of primary building sewer lines.

4. All electrical systems must be de-energized at the source unless repurposed for the sewer connection.

7.3 Abandonment Duration and Requirements

1. The property owner or agent shall apply for an abandonment requirement from the City of Richmond, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations, to abandon the existing onsite sewage system. Additional details about the abandonment requirement are provided in the Permit Process Section.

2. Use of a sewage holding tank system connected to a structure must terminate upon completion of construction of a new onsite wastewater treatment system that will serve the structure.
2875
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
20 3. Use of a sewage holding tank system connected to a structure must terminate within 90 calendar days after the City of Richmond determines that connection to a sanitary sewer is available to the structure.

8.0 Transition Plan for Ultimate Sewer
Solution
This section establishes the requirements and procedures for transitioning properties utilizing temporary sewage holding tanks to a permanent sanitary sewer connection once service becomes available. This ensures an orderly and timely conversion process that minimizes service disruption, protects public health, and aligns long-term infrastructure goals for the City of Richmond.

8.1 Applicability
This transition plan applies to all properties operating under an approved temporary sewage holding tank permit in areas where a sewer moratorium is in effect and where future sewer infrastructure is planned and scheduled for construction.

8.2 Notice of Sewer Availability
When sewer service becomes available to a property:

1. The City will issue a formal written notice to the property owner identifying that a sewer connection is now possible.

2. The notice will include the connection location, construction timeline, and any applicable fees or design requirements.

3. Property owners will have a 90-day compliance period from the date of notice to initiate connection planning and abandon the sewage holding tank system.

8.3 Connection Requirements
Property owners must:

1. Hire a licensed contractor to complete the sewer connection in accordance with City design standards.

2. Obtain necessary permits for connection and abandonment of the sewage holding tank from the City of Richmond, as applicable. The permits include a Construction Permit, Operational Requirement, and Abandonment Requirement, which will be explained further in the Permit Process Section.

3. Ensure the sewage holding tank is properly decommissioned by Section 7.0 of this document.

8.4 Abandonment and Site Restoration
Once connected to the sewer:

1. The temporary sewage holding tank must be abandoned in place or removed in accordance with the abandonment guidelines.

2. Any related surface or sub-surface infrastructure (e.g., risers, vents, access points) must be removed, filled with pea gravel, drain rock or compacted native soil, or capped. 2876
Temporary Sewage Holding Tank
City of Richmond
21 3. The site must be restored to grade and re-landscaped or repaved as appropriate to match adjacent conditions.

8.5 Documentation and Verification
Upon completion of the sewer connection and sewage holding tank abandonment, the property owner must submit the following to the City:

1. A Certificate of Lateral Compliance recommended by a state licensed plumber to be approved by the City of Richmond.

2. An Abandonment Requirement application. Refer to the Permit Process Section for more details about the Abandonment Requirement.

3. As-built drawings or photographs documenting both the new connection and the decommissioned sewage holding tank.

8.6 Failure to Transition
Failure to connect to the sewer system within the 90-day period may result in:

1. Revocation of the sewage holding tank Operational Requirements.

2. Enforcement actions in accordance with the Municipal Code Chapter 12.19, “Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems”, including violations, penalties, discontinuance of service, and/or permit revocation, as applicable.

3. Municipal Code Chapter 12.19, “Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems” is independent but coordinated with Contra Costa County Health Officer under Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606, including referral to Contra Costa Health for potential citation, as appropriate.

8.7 Special Circumstances
If connection to the sewer cannot be completed within the designated timeframe due to conditions beyond the control of the property owner (e.g., access constraints, delayed construction by the City), the property owner may request a written temporary extension. All extension requests must:

1. Be submitted in writing before the original compliance deadline.

2. Include justification and a proposed schedule for compliance.

3. Be approved by the City of Richmond, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations on a case-by-case basis.

Temporary Sewage Holding
Tank Permit Process
City of Richmond
1 1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this document is to establish the permit process for the temporary use of sewage holding tanks in areas of the City of Richmond that are affected by sanitary sewer connection moratoriums. These processes are intended to address immediate infrastructure limitations, particularly in the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer (KBSS) moratorium area, while enabling controlled development and safeguarding public health and environmental quality. The KBSS moratorium area is shown in Appendix A.

Although the initial application of the permit process is focused on the KBSS area, the provisions outlined in this document are designed to be adaptable and enforceable in any future moratorium zones citywide. They are also applicable in areas not under the moratorium, but where implementation may still be necessary, such as for emergency backup holding tanks.

The temporary sewage holding tank system will serve the “structure” until either a new onsite wastewater treatment system is approved (if permitted by the City of Richmond) or adequate capacity becomes available in the public sewerage system (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018). These systems must be designed, installed, and maintained per the criteria outlined in the “City of Richmond Temporary Sewage Holding Tank Standards” document to prevent public health hazards, groundwater contamination, nuisance conditions, and structural failures. A schematic example of a sewage holding tank system is shown in Figure 1. A sewage holding tank example is shown in Figure 2.

The sewage holding tank permit process is to be applied in coordination with applicable local ordinances, state health and safety codes, and relevant engineering best practices.

The City of Richmond, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations, is responsible for enforcing regulations and restrictions related to septic tanks and other onsite wastewater treatment systems.

2.0 Permit Process
The permit process section outlines the administrative requirements for obtaining the necessary approvals. The section covers the construction permit application process, including required documentation, operational requirements, abandonment requirements, and other provisions (such as those related to temporary structures and the appeals process for permit decisions). The flow diagram of the permit process is shown in Figure 3.

These permit procedures are adopted by the City of Richmond pursuant to the Municipal Code Chapter 12.19, “Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems”. The City of Richmond Temporary Sewage Holding Tank Standards are incorporated by reference as the governing technical performance and design criteria.

In the future, the City of Richmond may propose updates or new regulations in order to establish more detailed or specific provisions of this chapter. The City of Richmond, consistent with applicable Contra Costa County Health Officer regulations, is responsible for the enforcement of this guideline and all adopted regulations (Contra Costa County Ord. Code ß 420-6.606; Contra Costa County Health Officer Regulations for Sewage Collection and Disposal, 2018).
