System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance, and Capital Improvement Plan The City completed a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update (SSMPU) in 2023 to assess the existing, near term and long-term capacity needs and the condition of the system to safely collect and convey wastewater. The SSMPU identified capital improvement projects which included staff O&M based projects, hydraulicly deficient projects, lift station evaluation projects and ongoing CCTV data. The City prioritized these projects based on the following criteria:
o Overflow to Waters of the State
o Ability to meet Design Criteria
o O&M Hot Spots
o Community Impacts
o Surcharge
These analyses identify areas that are capacity deficient and/or structurally deficient under existing and future conditions. Recommended capital improvement projects are prioritized as a result of this analysis. An additional Vulnerability Assessment will be required to meet some of the additional (2022) requirements included in the WDRs.
Monitoring, Measurement, and Program Modifications
The City monitors the implementation of the SSMP Elements in order to measure the effectiveness of the City SSMP program in reducing sewer spills. This SSMP Element outlines the manner in which each SSMP Element is monitored and evaluated and the schedule with which the City completes this monitoring and evaluation.

A general overview map of the entire City sewer collection and conveyance system is included on the City website: https://www.cityofsalinas.org/our-city-services/public-works.
4.2.2 Storm Water Conveyance Map
The City owns and operates storm water conveyance facilities within the service area. Storm water maps are maintained at the City Wastewater Division Office as hard copy maps and as a GIS layer. This map can be printed as hard copy maps to be utilized by City maintenance staff in the event of a Sanitary Sewer Spill (Spill) to identify storm water inlets and outlets and isolate/capture wastewater that may enter the storm drain system. An overview map of the City MS4 System is available of the City website: https://www.cityofsalinas.org/our-city- services/public-works.
4.3 Preventative Maintenance Program
The City manages, schedules, and tracks preventative maintenance activities in their GIS based Computerized Maintenance and Management System (CMMS). The system covers the following:
o Sewer Line Cleaning
o High Priority Area Cleaning and Inspections
o Manhole Inspections and Maintenance
o Lift Station Inspection and Maintenance
o Customer Complaints
o Work Orders
o CCTV Inspections
o FOG Program Inspections
o Air Relief and Vacuum Relief Valve Inspections
Routine maintenance that requires follow up is flagged in the CMMS with a “Follow up Maintenance Needed” code in the system.
4.3.1. CCTV Inspection
The City conducts CCTV inspections utilizing two (2) methods:
1) City Staff conducts CCTV investigations on an ongoing basis as an investigative tool to identify problems identified in the field such as flow restriction, customer complaints, or as a result of line cleaning follow up investigations.
2) Contracted CCTV investigations are being conducted as part of a system-wide CCTV investigation which is anticipated to be completed in the next ten (10) years. Contracted CCTV work is conducted annually in different areas or basins within the City system as part of an ongoing condition assessment.
Contractor CCTV information will be one of the primary methods to identify sewer line rehabilitation and replacement projects in the future. Data will be evaluated on an ongoing basis to help develop City Capital Projects.
As CCTV investigations are complete they will be analyzed to; identify, rank and prioritize areas of the sewer system that require rehabilitation and replacement. A summary of these CCTV Sewer System Management Plan – Revision 02
Element 4 – Operation and Maintenance Program
City of Salinas

investigations will be on file at the Wastewater Division office when completed. A decision tree informing CCTV reinspection after initial inspection is provided below in Figure 4-2:
Figure 4-2 CCTV Grades above based on NASSCO defect ranking codes
4.3.2 Line Cleaning
The City implements a seven (7) year schedule to clean the entire system. Staff is dedicated to cleaning the system 2 days per week and documents line cleaning conditions on a Routine Sewer Line Cleaning and Manhole Inspection form.
The City evaluates the frequency at which the entire system is cleaned based on the results of sewer line cleaning logs, sewer spill history and the results of CCTV data. Changes in sewer line cleaning and prioritization of sewer repairs based on sewer line cleaning observations follow the following protocol in Figure 4-3 belowl:

Figure 4-3: Sewer Line Cleaning Flow Chart
4.3.3 Manhole Inspection
City manholes are inspected in conjunction with routine sewer line cleaning activities and as part of the High Priority List inspections. The City utilizes the Manhole Inspection Form for routine documentation of manhole conditions. When significant issues are observed during these routine manhole inspections, a more detailed inspection and assessment is conducted by maintenance staff. Relevant information from these sheets is maintained in the City CMMS for consideration in future rehabilitation and/or CIP.

4.3.4 High Priority Areas
The Departments goal is to service high priority problem areas 3 days of each week. The City’s Wastewater Supervisor maintains “high priority” lists of problem areas needing additional maintenance and cleaning. This list, developed over several years, identifies problem locations for blockages that may potentially lead to overflows. This list was developed and is based on the required frequency of maintenance to avoid blockages. Currently, monthly and quarterly high priority maintenance lists are maintained. These lists are based on sewer spill data and staff field observations. These lists have been effective to minimize sanitary sewer spills. The locations on both lists are grouped by area – East Salinas, West Salinas, North Salinas and South Salinas. The current lists provided are for example purposes only as they are dynamic and revised as needed. The lists show specific locations to be serviced, and the length of pipe.
These documents are maintained at the Wastewater Division office. The current High Priority Lists are provided in Appendix 4A.
4.3.5 Lift Station Operation and Maintenance
As previously mentioned in the introduction to this SSMP Element, the City operates ten (10) City-owned lift stations, and one (1) City maintained lift station within the City service area.
Stations are provided with duplex and triplex pumping systems depending on the size of the station for redundancy and reliability. This redundant system allows for continued operation of a lift station in the event of pump failure. Several of the City’s lift stations have backup generator power. In addition, the City maintains 5 portable (towable) diesel powered generators to provide emergency power to those stations not equipped with permanent on-site electrical generators.
This gives effective coverage of all sanitary lift stations and reduces the potential for overflows during power outages. To ensure redundancy in the system, City lift stations are equipped with receptacles for mobile generator hookups in the unlikely event of a permanent generator failure.
Stations are monitored remotely through a SCADA system which contacts “on-call” staff in the event of an emergency. Operational parameters and alarms for each station can be adjusted manually as necessary. Technical Information for these lift stations is included in the City’s Lift Station Spill Emergency Response Plans on file at the City’s Wastewater Division office.
The four (4) highest flow sewer lift stations (Carpenter Hall, Lake Street, Santa Rita, and TP2) are inspected daily. All other sewer lift stations are inspected weekly. The City has a pump maintenance mechanic logbook to identify maintenance activity at the sewer lift stations and also keeps records on a laptop for use in the field. Routine maintenance includes but is not limited to:
o inspection of electrical panels,
o pump and level controls,
o air compressors,
o wet well and dry well conditions, and
o pump motor operation.
Site visits for maintenance activities are logged in the Lift Station Log kept on file at the City’s Wastewater Division office. In the absence of the pump mechanic other maintenance personnel are cross trained to address any lift station problems.
Air relief valves, vacuum relief valves and bridge and aerial crossings of gravity and force main lines are visually inspected on a quarterly basis. The findings of these inspections and any necessary preventive maintenance are logged in the CMMS system.

The City conducts Post Spill Investigations for Category 1, 2, and 3 spills as warranted.
Sewer System Management Plan – Revision 02
Element 7 – Fats, Oils and Grease Control Program
City of Salinas
May 2025
ELEMENT 7 – PIPE BLOCKAGE CONTROL PROGRAM
The City of Salinas has identified a significant number of commercial facilities that contribute fats, oils and grease (FOG) into the City’s sewer system. FOG has been a contributing factor in sanitary sewer spills and requires the City to conduct additional maintenance. Roots and disposable wipes have also been identified as pipe blocking sources.
7.1 Regulatory Requirements
WDR Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ Attachment D 7 states:
The Sewer System Management Plan must include procedures for the evaluation 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 justification in its Plan for why a program is not needed. The procedures must include, at minimum:
(a). An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of pipe blocking substances; (b). A plan and schedule for the disposal of FOG generated within the sanitary sewer system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal facilities and/or additional facilities needed to adequately dispose of FOG generated within a sanitary sewer system service area;
(c). The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent spills and blockages;
(d). Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors) and the development of design standards for such devices, maintenance requirements, BMP requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements; (e). Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and whether the City has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the FOG ordinance; (f). An identification of sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages and establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section; and Implementation of source control measures for all sources of fats, oils, and grease reaching the sanitary sewer system for each section identified above
7.2 Pipe Blockage Control Program Public Education and Outreach The City of Salinas currently has approximately 286.7.25 miles of sanitary sewer pipelines.
The service area includes a variety of residential, commercial and industrial facilities. The focus of an effective Pipe Blockage Control Program include s residential customers, commercial and industrial facilities and commercial and industrial food service/preparation facilities.
The City participates in the Southern Monterey Bay Dischargers Group (Group) partnering with Monterey One Water and other local agencies on a Pipe Blockage Control Program and continued participation in an effective public outreach program. The City of Salinas continues to utilize the Group to assist in developing a regional public education program for users of the system for the purpose of reducing FOG problems in the collection system.
Sewer System Management Plan – Revision 02
Element 7 – Fats, Oils and Grease Control Program
City of Salinas
May 2025
The education campaign typically includes newspaper ads (three in English, one in Spanish), radio ads on two local stations and theaters ads in a major Salinas movie outlet. The Southern Monterey Bay Discharges Group directed resources to a multi -agency web site which was completely updated in 2018 for fats, oils and grease information at https://www.clogbusters.org/ . The regional program is modified yearly as conditions warrant.
The City of Salinas continues to participate by funding approximately 52% of the costs for the regional grease source control education program. The City’s participation is critical to the regional effort as the program is prohibitively expensive for the other participants to finance the program independently.
In addition to the City’s Pipe Blockage Control Program outreach through ClogBusters, the City has independently developed outreach materials for other pipe blocking materials such as “disposable” wipes and any other consumer items that do not belong in the sewer through a flyer labeled “Toilets Are Not Trashcans”.
The City provides the following outreach and education materials that consist of the following:
o Residential and commercial outreach on proper Disposal of Wipes - “Toilets are not Trashcans” flyer,
o Residential Fats Oils and Grease Disposal outreach,
o Residential Door Hangers – FOG Program,
o Residential FOG Program - Lateral Graphic,
o Commercial FOG Program - Best Management Practices
o Commercial FOG Program - List of Licensed FOG Haulers Copies of educational outreach documents for food service establishments are posted and available on the City’s website https://www.cityofsalinas.org/Your-Government/Find-a- Department/Public-Works/PW-Maintenance-Services/Environmental-Maintenance- Services/Sanitary-Sewer-Maintenance. The City refers the appropriate businesses to the available information, to assist them with FOG compliance. .
7.3 FOG Disposal Facilities
The City does not own nor operate a FOG disposal facility; however, licensed FOG hauling contractors are identified as part of the City’s FOG Pipe Blockage Control Program, and the City provides a list of these licensed haulers to each food service establishment (FSE). Monterey One Water (M1W), located in Marina CA accepts hauled FOG for disposal.
A list of grease trap and interceptor vendors, pumping and waste hauling contractors in Monterey County that haul FOG to facilities such as M1W for disposal is available in the City’s Sanitary Sewer website link identified above and is also provided below:

7.4 Discharge Prohibition Legal Authority and Spill Prevention Measures The City’s Source Control Program is run in cooperation with the Monterey One Water Source Control Program and relies heavily on Monterey One Water ordinances and requirements. The City’s current Municipal Code expressly incorporates all Monterey One Water regulations, including those related to requirements for grease and fats, source control and pretreatment requirements.
Monterey One Water’s authority for the Regional Grease Program is derived from Ordinance 2008-1. The City of Salinas City Code Chapter 36 expressly requires that all users within the City comply with all Monterey One Water regulations.
• Sec. 36-12.2. Compliance with discharge requirements of Monterey One Water. All dischargers into the sanitary sewer shall comply with all the discharge requirements of Monterey One Water. (Ord. No. 2102 (NCS).)
• Section 36-1 acknowledges that the City’s sanitary sewer collection system is tributary to the Monterey One Water treatment facility. It states that Monterey One Water implements a pretreatment program for its member jurisdictions (including the City of Salinas).
• Section 36-11 requires that all private sewage disposal systems conform with the City plumbing code currently in effect.
• Section 36-12 requires that a City permit be issued for all connection to or use of the public sanitary sewer system.
• Sections 36-12.1 and 36-12.2 state that final approval for a sanitary sewer permit is contingent upon compliance with the requirements of Monterey One Water and that all Grease Haulers in Monterey County

dischargers into the sanitary sewer must comply with all discharge requirements of Monterey One Water.
• Section 36-16 requires that design and construction of building sewers conform to the requirements of the city plumbing code and the City Design Standards and Standard Specifications currently in effect at the time of installation. (Elsewhere in the City Code, the California Plumbing Code is adopted by reference.)
7.5 Requirements to Install Grease Removal Devices
The City’s Municipal Code expressly incorporates all Monterey One Water regulations, including those related to requirements for grease and fats, source control and pretreatment requirements. The City has adopted and incorporates the requirements of the California Uniform Plumbing Code. The City of Salinas City Code Chapter 36, Section 36-31 states:
Requires that grease traps (grease, oil, wax and sand interceptors) be provided when, in the opinion of the director, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients. All interceptors must be of a type and capacity approved by the director and located so as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Failure by the owner to clean and maintain the interceptors is sufficient cause for punitive action as provided in the chapter, or for disconnection from the industrial sewer.
7.6 FOG Control Program Inspection, Enforcement, and Staffing The City of Salinas utilizes in-house inspection staff for food service facility inspection in conjunction with the City Storm Water Program. The Monterey County Department of Environmental Health is the designated authority as the City’s Health Officer, to inspect for any Health and Safety issues. Monterey One Water source control inspectors also have inspection authority for grease control equipment and wastewater related issues if necessary.
Both the City and Monterey One Water have inspection and enforcement authority regarding discharges to the sanitary sewer collection system. Authority to inspect is embedded in:
• Monterey One Water Ordinance No. 2008-01 - An Ordinance Establishing Regulations For The Interception, Treatment And Disposal Of Sewage And Wastewater; Providing For And Requiring Charges And Fees Therefore; And Fixing Penalties For The Violation Of Said Regulations
• Article 4 – discharge reports, wastewater discharge permits, notification, reporting requirements and administration.
• Section (§) 4.07 Inspection and Sampling – The Agency shall inspect the facilities of any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this Ordinance are being met and all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the Agency's representative ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection or sampling or in the performance of any of their duties. The Agency shall have the right Sewer System Management Plan – Revision 02
Element 7 – Fats, Oils and Grease Control Program
City of Salinas
May 2025
to set up on the user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling or metering operations. Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into their premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with their security guards, that upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel from the Agency will be permitted to enter without delay for the purpose of performing their specific responsibilities.
7.7 Problem Area Identification and Sewer Cleaning
Locally, grease from both residential areas and food preparation facilities have been found to be contributing factors to grease related blockages in the sanitary sewer system. System blockages are generally attributable to issues of grease, roots or an accumulation of system solids and debris.
The City has a proactive maintenance program to meet the WDR requirement to identify sections of the sewer system subject to grease blockages and establish a cleaning maintenance schedule for these locations.
The Wastewater Division of the Maintenance Services Department performs daily maintenance activities to the system. The City has developed a proactive maintenance program with the goal of performing routine maintenance two days each week and priority locations three days each week. Priority, when required due to staffing shortage or availability of maintenance equipment, is given to servicing high priority locations over routine maintenance.
The “Sewer Maintenance High Priority List” referenced in Element 4 is the maintenance schedule that the City of Salinas Wastewater Division uses for ongoing maintenance of areas that have a history of blockages, buildup or overflows. The list is a dynamic document that changes as problems in some pipeline sections and other sections are identified for additional maintenance. The list consists of both monthly and quarterly maintenance locations to prevent the potential for sanitary sewer spills. The criteria for being on the list varies depending on the history of grease buildup, root intrusion, hydraulic deficiencies or other causes. Each location/pipe segment has been placed on a schedule of monthly or quarterly cleaning based on spill history or other system problems.
Other maintenance activities include routine maintenance to sewer lines, manhole inspections and system repairs when needed. The city also operates a pipeline inspection video truck to assist with identifying system problems.
7.8 Other Source Control Measures
The City’s source control efforts to reduce or eliminate pipe blocking materials and related problems in the pipeline sections identified in the ‘High Priority’ maintenance list are addressed through the actions previously described in this Element. Additionally, the City provides outreach and education to residential customers through the ClogBusters campaign and through the City website previously referenced in this Element. The education campaign typically includes newspaper ads, radio ads, and theaters ads in a major Salinas movie outlet.
The Southern Monterey Bay Discharges Group has directed resources to a multi-agency web site for pipe blocking material information at (https://www.clogbusters.org/). The regional program is modified yearly as conditions warrant. Additionally, the City has programs to Sewer System Management Plan – Revision 02

o Survey of manhole rim and invert elevations on each sewer manhole included in sewer model,
o Evaluations of the City’s eleven lift stations to establish signs of corrosion and recommendations based on structural investigation of the wet wells. Evaluation of the condition of piping and internal components, documentation of the size of the wet well/pumping station, approximate depth and size of inverts, perform a pump draw down test and determine approximate flow from each pump, full load amperage and Meg-ohm readings on each motor, verification of automation of controls, evaluation of the electrical system deficiencies/code violations, documentation of pumps and motors make/model number, inspection of pumps for signs of wear and tear including inspecting pump seals and fittings, electrical components for code violations, evaluation of pump seals, fittings, and overall condition, and pump tests to determine approximate flow, and measure amperage/power draws to check for signs of pump motor concerns. Evaluation of the system’s ability to meet existing and future demands based on the pumping capacity and lift station upgrade recommendations.
o Updates to the City’s GIS system to include new developments and upgrades to the City sewer system.
o City staff observations and recommendations for sewer system repairs. o The condition assessment includes CCTV data for approximately 5,300 linear feet (0.3%) of the City sewer system. The City is in the process of conducting CCTV inspections to have the entire system televised and assessed over the course of the next ten (10) years. Manhole inspections will be included as part of the CCTV investigations.
Capital improvement projects were identified as part of the condition assessment. These projects are identified in Section 8.5 of this Element.
The SSMPU is on the City website: https://www.cityofsalinas.org/Your- Government/Find-a-Department/Public-Works/PW-Maintenance- Services/Environmental-Maintenance-Services/Sanitary-Sewer-Maintenance
8.3 Capacity Evaluation & Design Criteria
The City’s collection system consists of 292 miles of gravity pipes, which vary in diameter from 6-inch to 54- inches, and eleven (11) lift stations, providing service throughout the City and a portion of Bolsa Knolls near Rogge Road. The main trunk sewer system was analyzed using the Innovyze InfoSWMM Version 14.7 hydraulic modeling program to evaluate performance of the wastewater collection system under both existing and future flow conditions.
Design criteria, as shown in Table 8-1 below, were applied in the analysis of the trunk sewer collection model. Gravity pipe performance was analyzed based on maximum percent full depth over diameter (d/D) ratio, defines as the depth of flow in a pipe divided by the diameter of the pipe.

Sewer System Management Plan – Revision 01
Element 8 – System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan
City of Salinas
May 2025
Capital improvement projects were identified as part of this hydraulic evaluation for existing and future conditions. Projects are included in Section 8.5 of this Element.
8.4 Prioritization of Corrective Actions
The SSMPU identified capital improvement projects which included staff O&M based projects, hydraulic deficient projects, lift station improvement projects and CCTV data.
The City prioritized these projects based on the following criteria:
o Overflow to Waters of the State
o Ability to meet Design Criteria
o O&M Hot Spots
o Community Impacts
o Surcharge
Each of these categories was provided a weighted importance factor and each project received an overall ranking score. The importance factor was multiplied by the overall score of the project and then these two (2) factors were added together for a final score/ranking. The City reviews these projects to assess if rankings require adjustment regularly.
Lift Station CIP Ranking
Lift Station CIPs have been categorized in two separate ways: one based on improvements needed at each lift station as a whole and the other based on improvement project type for all lift stations.
Appendix 8A, Table 7-3 ranks each individual lift station based on eight categories:
o overflow to a water body,
o inspection frequency,
o existing pumping capacity deficiencies,
o peak hour emergency response time,
o if bypassing capabilities are needed,
o if an onsite generator with automatic transfer switch is needed, o if control system upgrades are needed, and
o potential impact to the community.
Although not included in the scoring, Table 7-3 also shows if the lift station would be impacted by future development.

o Overflow to Water Body of the State (0-10 Points)
o Meets Design Standards (0 – 10 Points)
o Maintenance Hot Spot (0-10 Points)
o Community Impact/Population (0-10 Points)
o Surcharge Near City Manhole Monitor (0-5 Points)
o Impacted by Future Development (also considered but no points were assigned)
8.5 Capital Improvement Plan
The City developed a ranked Capital Improvement List which is included in Appendix 8C.
There are two (2) tables that identify Pipeline/Manhole CIP (Table 7-4 & 7-6) and one (1) table that identifies Lift Station CIP (Table 7-5).
Funding for Projects and Future Investigations
The City recently completed a revenue rate study and is planning to move forward with Proposition 218 rate increase for all sewer users. This revenue plan would provide for the following:
o $2 million per year for sewer system repairs
o $1.1 million per year for ongoing CCTV investigations o $154K per year for manhole inspections
The City is also in the process of completing projects funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) which has a deadline for spending December 31, 2026.
Operations and Maintenance staff work with Engineering staff to develop and rank Capital Projects.
The status of these projects is shown in Appendix 8D with current and anticipated sources of funding. Full project descriptions are provided in the 2023 SSMPU.
In addition to the funding sources identified in Appendix 8D, grant programs from the EDA Public Works and Economic Development Program, the State Water Resources Control Board, and others are the preferred sources for additional funding for sewer upgrades. If grant funding proves to be unavailable other potential funding options may also include:
• User rates
