I have also added this in printable form as an attachment. I would love a timely response, and I even dare any one of you to come and prove me wrong; especially the safety and emergency response claims! The lies, deception, and falsehoods of the "green" bike lanes.

The latest city project to help promote biking, and help us reach our climate goals, has proven itself to be another sham, gaslit effort, to take federal dollars and ruin our city even more than they have already:

Road diet
The planners have been very clear what the point of this project is; a road diet. This means that they want to make driving a miserable experience, and thus “encourage” - read “force” - people to stop using their cars and use public transport or other forms of “green” energy like bikes or electric scooters.

Kind of reminds me of this story - often told here in Los Angeles: I just donated the contents of my wallet, my iPhone X, and my $10,000 Rolex watch to some poor guy living on the streets.

You wouldn't believe the happiness I felt as he put his gun back into his pocket.

We are being forced to “go green”. Sounds like it's a great project? In truth it is a great project; on paper. In reality there are so many problems which are being ignored that I feel the need to address at least some of them, so that the city can not say “we didn’t know”.

Elites Vs. peasants.

Initially, this project was supposed to run from Montana and 17th, to Pico. Suddenly it started at Wilshire.

What happened? Apparently the city was threatened with a lawsuit from those with deeper pockets, if they dared to ruin their streets and take away loads of their parking.

So for the peasants in the city center and south, we need to suffer and deal with the virtue signaling efforts of the city.

Less parking
The city estimated that they will be removing approximately 100 parking spaces. Many people living on the 17th st corridor do not have garages, and rely heavily on street parking. By taking away parking, it causes people to drive around the block another three times, and burn more gas, thus contributing to the pollution.

1.A.a
Packet Pg. 13
Attachment: Written Comments [Revision 1] (5796 : Written Comments) 2 It also causes more traffic to occur at the intersections, and thus raises the possibilities of accidents.

When a spot is found, the person getting into the spot MUST block traffic in order to “back up” into the spot.

More traffic, more idling, more pollution. Are we not cutting off our nose to spite our face? Creating green lanes, and simultaneously causing more pollution!?
This is not to mention the USPS, Amazon, and other delivery services which regularly double park in the bike lane for a minute or two, but now will be blocking traffic entirely! More traffic, more pollution. Higher response time for emergency vehicles...

Parking set up
As the system is set up, the bike lane will be next to the curb, while the parking will be next to traffic. This means that every time someone in a parked car opens their door, they will be at major risk of getting their door taken off, or even get hit themselves when they get out. In addition, if they need to take a child out of the passenger seat, they are at risk of hitting/getting hit by a bike, the very reason for which these “protected” bike lanes were created.

It also leads us to another issue
No proper visibility.

When a car is trying to make a right, and the visibility of the driver is blocked by the cars on their right side, they are more prone to crash into a biker. This is especially true of the electric bikes and scooters which drive at much faster speeds, and even a most careful driver can be at risk of hitting them. This has been seen along the “new” bike lanes on broadway.

As a driver and a biker, I have nearly been hit by cars, or nearly hit a biker, despite my best efforts. I have heard the same from many other residents both drivers and bikers in the area.

Another issue is the flawed planning of these designs.

Many cars do not even realize where they are supposed to park. Thus many park IN the BIKE LANE. I personally have dozens of such pictures from my daily bike rides. One of the main reasons for this, because the meters and signs are found on the curb.

For those drivers who are a bit smarter, and realize where they are supposed to park, they often do not see the signs or meters, and end up getting cited. What a great deal for the city! Emergency response times; fail!
These are purposefully created to cause traffic by design, and make driving miserable. The problem with traffic is that it impedes response time for emergency vehicles.

When there is an open bike lane on a two lane street, and an emergency vehicle needs to get through, everyone can move their cars into the bike lane, and create a new lane in the middle for the emergency vehicle. If there is traffic however - as these roads are designed to create - and an emergency vehicle needs to get through, where will the cars move? The bike lanes are “protected”. When lives are on the line, every moment counts! Yet in the name of “going green” we are knowingly risking lives! Will the city want to be sued for ignoring this glaring fact?
There are FOUR senior homes on this stretch, which see ambulances come many times a day. Are their lives not worth something?!

Packet Pg. 14
Attachment: Written Comments [Revision 1] (5796 : Written Comments) 3 Since the train came to town, 17th st has been a traffic nightmare as it was, when the train causes traffic to back up for blocks. These lanes will only exacerbate the situation and cause more delays for those who need the help most.

A local business owner told me that the fire inspector who came to their location shared the same concerns. And recounted that the times are ALREADY slower due to the bike lanes on Broadway! Discrimination
Possibly the dirtiest word in these woke times. Yet, the city is knowingly discriminating against the most vulnerable of society; the handicapped and seniors. Despite seeking to “inclusive”, they target the most vulnerable with impunity.

Firstly, the handicapped do not have a choice of using “green” transportation such as bikes or scooters. The public transport is not reliable, and they thus need to use cars. By created traffic and havoc, this is direct discrimination against those who are depentent on cars.

Additionally, Multiple handicapped parking spaces have been removed, with no plan to replace them. One neighbor has a child with MS who is confined to a wheelchair. Their spot was taken away. Yet another has a child who is blind and lame; also in a wheelchair. Theri spot was taken away as well, with no plan to replace it.

Yet another has multiple children with various levels of autism whose blue spot was taken away as well.

Lastly, the way the parking is set up, they would need to cross over the bike path, potentially go over a curb, and potentially even go into the path of oncoming traffic in order to put their children into the car! How safe is that? How inclusive!
And finally the biggest lie of all:

Everyone wants it.

I have spoken to every neighbor I know. Not one wants it. Not one wants to lose their parking spot - hard to get as it is. Not one wants the dangers mentioned in this article.

I dare the city to give us a deadline and a number of signatures - based on households - and we will show them how much people hate their project!
Better yet, let them release the number of people who called them about the project, and how many of them called to complain vs. how many called in support!
Let the city release the concerns which were raised, and how they are being addressed! Ain’t going to happen. It would show how much dislike there is for this project! As a matter of fact, there has been very little signage about the different construction which is being done.

One resident asked the workers why this was, and they responded “the city told us that many people are upset about this, so just try to do it without riling them up any more than they are already”.

If this is not gas-lighting, then what is?
Move it to 16th st.
16th street is not as busy. Parking is not as “precious”. It is much safer for the bikers. Nonetheless, the city told one resident “We would need to put in another light by Wilshire. We don’t want to do that”. So instead we get all of these problems because you don't want to put in a light?! ITEM 1.

Another caller was informed that the reason this project is being jammed down the throats of the residents without proper public input and consideration, was because there were federal funds to be used, and they needed to meet a deadline! This funding was secured by Ted Lieu to the best of my knowledge. Remember that in a year or two when he is on the ballot again. He is also the one behind the homeless shelter in the center of our downtown commercial district! Clearly not the brightest bulb in the box Lighting
Once you are ruining our lives, maybe put up lights for the sidewalk as well?! Not just for the bike lanes. Is walking not green?
In conclusion, we need to stop the insanity now! Let the residents have a say in how our city is run. Unless our city council thinks that we live in “Soviet Monica” perhaps? ITEM 1.

Elites Vs. peasants.

Initially, this project was supposed to run from Montana and 17th, to Pico. Suddenly it started at Wilshire.

What happened? Apparently the city was threatened with a lawsuit from those with deeper pockets, if they dared to ruin their streets and take away loads of their parking.

So for the peasants in the city center and south, we need to suffer and deal with the virtue signaling efforts of the city.

Less parking

Attachment: Written Comments [Revision 1] (5796 : Written Comments) 2 The city estimated that they will be removing approximately 100 parking spaces. Many people living on the 17th st corridor do not have garages, and rely heavily on street parking. By taking away parking, it causes people to drive around the block another three times, and burn more gas, thus contributing to the pollution.

It also causes more traffic to occur at the intersections, and thus raises the possibilities of accidents.

When a spot is found, the person getting into the spot MUST block traffic in order to “back up” into the spot.

It also leads us to another issue
No proper visibility.

As a driver and a biker, I have nearly been hit by cars, or nearly hit a biker, despite my best efforts. I have heard the same from many other residents both drivers and bikers in the area.

Another issue is the flawed planning of these designs.

Since the train came to town, 17th st has been a traffic nightmare as it was, when the train causes traffic to back up for blocks. These lanes will only exacerbate the situation and cause more delays for those who need the help most.

Yet another has multiple children with various levels of autism whose blue spot was taken away as well.

Everyone wants it.

I have spoken to every neighbor I know. Not one wants it. Not one wants to lose their parking spot - hard to get as it is. Not one wants the dangers mentioned in this article.

If this is not gas-lighting, then what is?
Move it to 16th st.

Nonetheless, the city told one resident “We would need to put in another light by Wilshire. We don’t want to do that”. So instead we get all of these problems because you don't want to put in a light?! Disgusting!

Please Support These Items Below:
"Courts Advisory Committee": Support the recommendation from the Santa Monica Parks and Recreation Commission to implement a Courts Advisory Committee. This committee would come up with strategies and solutions to support tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball. Sports that utilize a court essentially.

Accurate/Viable Santa Monica Resident Pickleball Player Data: Pickleball participant data has still not been accurately vetted and processed by and through the city. The Santa Monica Pickleball Club, a private entity, has voiced their number of Santa Monica resident pickleball participation (*470 est.) to the Parks and Recreation Commision at a meeting (3/16/23). But the city needs to secure accurate participant data through the city's vetting and screening process (Ex: ID verification, utility bill, etc.). This should be done the same way other other sports in the city have had participant data collected. So basically we still do not know the actual number of Santa Monica residents who enroll and consistently play pickleball in the city. This is important for many reasons. One being, why jump through all of these hoops for pickleball if the Santa Monica resident participation numbers do not justify pickleball's expansion demands? - This is not listed under the recommendations by the Parks and Recreation Commission, but is a very important piece that is missing in this whole pickleball process. Definitely worth commenting on because it makes logical sense.

City Controlled Pickleball: We support pickleball players in trying to find reasonable outlets and venues for the activity. The Parks and Recreation Commission has recommended that the city reinstates its control of city run pickleball programs. This will help clear up a lot of inequalities, confusion, and facilitate structure. "Open play" pickleball on a public space for example should be run by the city and not by a private entity, which is the current status. The private pickleball entity of course will most likely be pushing back on the idea of city run pickleball programs. I think everyone can fill in the blanks as to why that is.

Recommendations from the Santa Monica Parks and Recreation Commission (3/16/23 Meeting) to City Council:
"Commissioner Desai Wagabaza motions to Write a letter to City Council to provide perspective on permitted and open recreational use of the tennis / pickleball courts at Memorial Park, asking they consider the following recommendations:
• Approve reinstating a modified and revenue-supported City-run pickleball program that is staffed with City staff, gives priority access to residents, and charges nominal fees for high-demand open-play session time. - YES: Supporting the city run program.
• Direct staff to add clarifying signage to Memorial Park and JAMS and consider digital advertising kiosks to include location-specific schedules.

• Open courts an hour earlier at 7am.
- YES: This will create more hours of play.
• Keep the current configuration of four hybrid courts until the to-be established court advisory committee and/or to-be-appointed city coordinator can reevaluate." - YES: Support the Court Advisory Committee.

My comments for this evening:
1) The City should not sign any contract with DTSM, Inc. for use of Ambassadors in City Parks. Reasons are 1) a competitive bid process should occur, 2) the DTSM, Inc. organization and its revenues will shrink substantially by year's end due to a large group of Stakeholders withdrawing from the organization and, 3) the Ambassadors are doing an awful job. Data from the FBI and Santa Monica Police Department show a dramatic increase in crime, drug use, fires, assaults, overdoses and deaths in each of the City Parks. The Ambassadors have no clear definition of their role, except to "clean and watch the restrooms." All around the Ambassadors all hell breaks loose. We have the photos and videos to prove such, and will release them if this item is passed tonight. 2) It is illegal for the City to use any State or Federal Covid money or grants to pay down the City pension debt. 3) Also buried in the Budget is the City moving some of its Maintenance Staff from the Promenade and Downtown, to the Santa Monica Airport. Now we know why DTSM, Inc. CEO Andrew Thomas and Board Member/Deputy City Manager Anuj Gupta are planning to propose an increase in assessments on business owners who are seeing retailers flee the Promenade and Downtown and suffer huge financial loss.

I ask and urge you to look into and anticipate what items your City Staff are working on and planning to present to each of you in the form of a "meeting agenda" just days before each Council Meeting.

City Staff members are setting the short and long term goals for the City, not you. This is not what we elected you for. And those of you councilmembers who complain about time constraints and day jobs and lack of sufficient pay, should step aside and allow other conscientious citizens to serve. Each of you councilmembers knew what you were signing up for when you campaigned for the job. And please, all of you, show up on time for the meetings. You are disrespecting the City and its residents otherwise.

Sincerely,
John Alle

I know it’s been a few very hard years and your intent is to support affordable housing and the school funding the voters approved in the city.

Agenda Item: 5.A
1 of 5
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Fleet Services Subject: Authorization to Issue Purchase Orders to AAA Oil, Inc., for the Purchase and Delivery of Renewable Diesel Fuel
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines

2. Authorize the Procurement Manager to issue purchase orders with AAA Oil, Inc., dba California Fuels and Lubricants, for the purchase and delivery of renewable diesel fuel for the Public Works Department and Fire Department. This recommended award is made as an exception to the competitive bidding process pursuant to Section 2.24.250 (c) and is for a total amount not to exceed $2,024,418 (including a 15% contingency) with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.

Summary
The City of Santa Monica’s Fleet Management Division purchases renewable diesel fuel for certain heavy-duty vehicles and equipment to support the City’s Sustainable City Plan goals of reduced emissions. AAA Oil, Inc. is the current renewable diesel provider for the State of California in the Los Angeles County area. Staff recommends the issuance of purchase orders that utilize the State of California Contract No. 1-23-91- 31C, for the purchase of renewable diesel fuel for the Fleet Management Division and Fire Department for a total amount not to exceed $2,024,418 (including a 15% contingency for fluctuations in fuel pricing) for a three-year period, through May 1, 2026, with the option for two one-year extensions, for a total contract term of five years through May 1, 2028, if extensions are exercised by the City.

Discussion
The City’s vehicles and equipment run on a wide variety of fuel types, including renewable natural gas (RNG), electricity, propane, unleaded, and diesel fuels. Public Works staff, in coordination with the Sustainable Fleet Team, are actively working toward reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to meet the goals of the Sustainable City Plan and the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan, which aims for 80 percent reductions below 1990 levels by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050 or sooner (Attachment A).

Renewable diesel fuel sold in California is derived from waste animal fat from the food processing industry and from waste fat from the fish processing industry. Renewable diesel fuel generates fewer carbon and greenhouse gas emissions and is used by the City for certain heavy-duty vehicles and equipment when other alternative fuel equipment options are not available.

In February 2023, the State of California solicited bids for the purchase and delivery of renewable diesel fuel, which included a stipulation that the contract would be available for use by participating local agencies. The State of California’s three-year contract expires on May 2, 2026, with the option for two one-year extensions, which could extend the contract through May 1, 2028. The State of California’s procurement process allows for other local municipalities to use contract No. 1-23-91-31C for the purchase of renewable diesel fuel.

The City has used renewable diesel fuel since May 2017. A total of 100 City vehicles and pieces of equipment (67 in Public Works and 33 in the Fire Department) are powered with renewable diesel fuel. This includes heavy-duty Fire apparatus, mediumduty Fire Station Utility and command vehicles, crane trucks, backhoe loaders, tractors, and asphalt rollers. It is the City’s goal to reduce the number of diesel-powered equipment as new technologies become available. Since the last contract for renewable diesel fuel in 2019, the City has reduced its diesel-powered equipment by 10% and continues to explore alternatively fueled heavy-duty equipment when replacing old equipment as they become readily available.

Particulate Matter (PM) emissions: -28%
Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions: -28%
Total Hydrocarbon emissions: -48%
With respect to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), calculates the carbon intensity of renewable diesel to be on average 60% percent lower than that of conventional diesel. The diesel delivered through the State’s bid is a combination of 95% renewable diesel and 5% biodiesel which provides a carbon intensity of 40, as opposed to 90 of conventional diesel.

Exception to Competitive Bidding
Staff recommends AAA Oil, Inc. to furnish and deliver Renewable Diesel Fuel as an exception to competitive bidding per Muni Code 2.24.250 (c). This purchase meets the City’s exception to competitive bidding criteria, as competitive procedures were followed by the State of California and the goods or services are supplied to the City at the same or better price. Due to economies of scale, the State of California is able to secure a better price for renewable diesel fuel, purchasing throughout the state, and in conjunction with other government entities, versus Santa Monica going out to bid on our own for the approximately 51,000 gallons used last year. c. competitive procedures were followed by a governmental agency, federal, state, county, city, joint powers agency, special district, or cooperative purchasing agency and the goods or services are supplied to the City at the same or better price; Environmental Review
The purchase order for renewable fuel is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15301 exempts Class 1 (Existing Facilities) projects from CEQA, which include the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The purchase order for renewable fuel would not result in any modifications to existing fueling facilities and would not expand or materially change existing fueling operations or increase the fleet of vehicles or equipment using renewable fuel.

Therefore, the project is categorically exempt as set forth in Section 15301 of the CEQA State Guidelines.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
Staff seeks authority to approve funding from the Vehicle Management Fund and General Fund to award purchase orders with AAA Oil, Inc. for the purchase and delivery of renewable diesel fuel. Funds are included in the FY 2023-25 Proposed Biennial Budget.

Future year funding is contingent upon Council budget approval.

Sustainable City Plan
Adopted September 20, 1994
Updated February 11, 2003
Revised October 24, 2006
Updated January 14, 2014
Using the power of community to enhance our resources,
prevent harm to the natural environment and human health, and benefit the social and economic well-being of the
community for the sake of current and future generations.

Packet Pg. 52
Attachment: Sustainable City Plan (5520 : Purchase and Delivery of Renewable Diesel Fuel) 2 Introduction
We live in a time in which increased population growth, high levels of consumption and the desire to feed growing economies have created escalating demands on our
resources - natural, human and social - on a local, regional, and global scale.

We live in a time in which increased population
growth, high levels of consumption and the
desire to feed growing economies have created
escalating demands on our resources - natural,
human and social - on a local, regional, and
global scale. These demands negatively impact
the natural environment, our communities and
the quality of our lives. In the face of these
challenges, people worldwide have developed a
growing concern for the environment and a desire
to live sustainably.

In 1994, the Santa Monica City Council took steps
to address these pressures locally by adopting
the Santa Monica Sustainable City Program. The
Sustainable City Program was initially proposed in
1992 by the City’s Task Force on the Environment
to ensure that Santa Monica can continue to meet
its current needs – environmental, economic and
social - without compromising the ability of future
generations to do the same. It is designed to
help us as a community begin to think, plan and
act more sustainably – to help us address the root
causes of problems rather than the symptoms
of those problems, and to provide criteria for
evaluating the long-term rather than the shortterm impacts of our decisions – in short, to help us think about the future when we are making
decisions about the present.

The program includes goals and strategies,
for the City government and all sectors of the
community, to conserve and enhance our local
resources, safeguard human health and the
environment, maintain a healthy and diverse
economy, and improve the livability and quality of
life for all community members in Santa Monica.

To check our progress toward meeting these
goals, numerical indicators were developed and
specific targets were set for the city to achieve
by the year 2000 in four goal areas – 1) Resource
Conservation, 2) Transportation, 3) Pollution
Prevention and Public Health Protection, and 4)
Community and Economic Development.

In reviewing the progress made since the 1994
adoption of the program, the Task Force on the
Environment recognized the need to update
and expand the Sustainable City goals and
indicators to provide a more complete picture of
community sustainability, and to develop new
indicator targets for 2010. The Task Force felt
that a comprehensive update would allow Santa
Monica to build on its initial success and to better
address the challenges to sustainability that
remain.

5.A.a
Packet Pg. 53
Attachment: Sustainable City Plan (5520 : Purchase and Delivery of Renewable Diesel Fuel) 3 The update process began in July 2001 with
the formation of the Sustainable City Working
Group - a large group of community stakeholders
that included elected and appointed officials,
city staff, and representatives of neighborhood
organizations, schools, the business community
and other community groups. The Working Group
met numerous times over the course of 15 months
to discuss the myriad issues related to the
sustainability of the community. They evaluated
the long-term sustainability of Santa Monica
using a framework comprised of three forms of
community capital, that need to be managed
with care, in order to ensure that the community
does not deteriorate. These include natural
capital – the natural environment and natural
resources of the community; human and social
capital – the connectedness among people in the
community and the education, skills and health
of the population; and financial and built capital
– manufactured goods, buildings, infrastructure,
information resources, credit and debt.

The group proposed significant changes to
the initial Sustainable City Program goals and
indicators, and assisted with the creation of new
indicator targets. Early drafts of the proposed
update were revised based on a large amount of
public input received during the summer of 2002.

The result of this process was the updated,
Santa Monica Sustainable City Plan, which
represents the community’s vision of Santa
Monica as a sustainable city. The change
in name from Sustainable City Program to
Sustainable City Plan was made to better
reflect the long-term comprehensive nature
of Santa Monica’s vision and the community’s
efforts to become a sustainable city.

Since its inception, the Santa Monica
Sustainable City Program has achieved much
success. Many of the initial targets have been
met or exceeded and Santa Monica is now
recognized worldwide as a role model for
sustainability. However, we are not “there”
yet. While we have made progress in the
right direction, Santa Monica’s economy and
the activities of its residents, businesses,
institutions and visitors continue to negatively
impact human health and the environment.

And our community does not yet provide for
the basic needs of all its members. Many
challenges remain before Santa Monica
can truly call itself a Sustainable City. The
Sustainable City Program is a call to action for
all of us to work together as a community and
create change that will realize a Sustainable
Santa Monica.
“I think any goal this community sets
for itself, and is willing to work to
accomplish, will be accomplished...
whether in my time or another time.

That’s the beauty of this city.”
Ken Edwards, 1941-1985
City Council Member and Mayor

5.A.a
Packet Pg. 54
Attachment: Sustainable City Plan (5520 : Purchase and Delivery of Renewable Diesel Fuel) 4 The City’s Task Force on the Environment (ETF)
assumed the initial leadership role on behalf of the
community for the Sustainable City Plan (SCP).

With the update and expansion of the SCP
into new and more diverse goal areas, the ETF
recommended the creation of a Sustainable
City Task Force (SCTF) that includes broad
representation from community stakeholders with
expertise in all of the SCP goal areas The SCTF
was created in 2003 to provide leadership and
guidance for implementation of the SCP. In 2009,
the SCTF sunset and this role was again assumed
by the ETF.

At the city staff level, an interdepartmental
Sustainability Advisory Team (SAT) was created
to coordinate existing city activities so they are
consistent with the Sustainable City goals and
facilitate the future implementation of innovative
programs and policies to achieve the goals.

Members of this group serve as Sustainable City
liaisons to their respective departments.

Together, these groups are responsible for
developing a comprehensive implementation
plan, both interdepartmentally, and between the
City and community stakeholder groups.

Leadership, Guidance and Implementation
of the Sustainable City Plan
Reporting
The city developed two reporting tools. The tools are intended to provide useful information to City Council, City staff, and community members on progress being made toward meeting goals and targets of the Plan, and will provide a basis for decision-making about policies and actions that influence the City’s ability to meet the goals and targets. The first tool is the Sustainable City Progress Report. The second tool is the Sustainable City Report Card.
• The Sustainable City Progress Report is a web based tool that provides current, detailed analysis of the data for each indicator in the Santa Monica Sustainable City Plan. Visit www.sustainablesm.org/scpr • The Sustainable City Report Card is a summary document that provides an overview of our progress toward, and challenges to, becoming a sustainable community. The Report Card presents goal area summaries and grades based on the specific indicator data.

Together, these two tools are the definitive resource for community decision makers.

In order to become a sustainable community all community members must be educated and empowered to achieve our sustainability goals.

5.A.a
Packet Pg. 55
Attachment: Sustainable City Plan (5520 : Purchase and Delivery of Renewable Diesel Fuel) 5 GOALS:

Within each Goal Area are specific goals which
comprise the core of the community vision and
represent what Santa Monica must achieve in
order become a sustainable city.

INDICATORS:

For each goal area specific indicators have
been developed to measure progress toward
meeting the goals. Indicators are tools that help
to determine the condition of a system, or the
impact of a program, policy or action. When
tracked over time indicators tell us if we are
moving toward sustainability and provide us
with useful information to assist with decisionmaking. Two types of indicators are tracked as part of the Sustainable City Plan: 1) System
level indicators measure the state, condition or
pressures on a community-wide basis for each
respective goal area. 2) Program level indicators
measure the performance or effectiveness of
specific programs, policies or actions taken by
the city government or other stakeholders in the
community.

Specific Targets have been created for many of
the indicators. The targets represent aggressive
yet achievable milestones for the community.

Unless otherwise noted, the targets are for the
year 2020 using 2010 as a baseline. For some
indicators no specific numerical targets have
been assigned. This was done where development of a numerical target was determined to be not feasible or where limits on data type and
availability made it difficult to set a numerical
target. In many of these cases a trend direction
was substituted for a numerical target.

Terms throughout this document that may be
unfamiliar to the general reader are defined in the
Glossary.

Attachment: Sustainable City Plan (5520 : Purchase and Delivery of Renewable Diesel Fuel) 6 Guiding Principles
The Concept of Sustainability Guides City Policy
Santa Monica is committed to meeting its existing needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The long-term impacts of policy choices will be considered to ensure a sustainable legacy.

Protection, Preservation, and Restoration of the Natural Environment is a High Priority of the City Santa Monica is committed to protecting, preserving and restoring the natural environment. City decisionmaking will be guided by a mandate to maximize environmental benefits and reduce or eliminate negative environmental impacts. The City will lead by example and encourage other community stakeholders to make a similar commitment to the environment.

Environmental Quality, Economic Health and Social Equity are Mutually Dependent Sustainability requires that our collective decisions as a city allow our economy and community members to continue to thrive without destroying the natural environment upon which we all depend. A healthy environment is integral to the city’s long-term economic and societal interests. In achieving a healthy environment, we must ensure that inequitable burdens are not placed on any one geographic or socioeconomic sector of the population and that the benefits of a sustainable community are accessible to all members of the community.

All Decisions Have Implications to the Long-term Sustainability of Santa Monica The City will ensure that each of its policy decisions and programs are interconnected through the common bond of sustainability as expressed in these guiding principles. The policy and decisionmaking processes of the City will reflect our sustainability objectives. The City will lead by example and encourage other community stakeholders to use sustainability principles to guide their decisions and actions.

Community Awareness, Responsibility, Participation and Education are Key Elements of a Sustainable Community
All community members, including individual citizens, community-based groups, businesses, schools and other institutions must be aware of their impacts on the environmental, economic and social health of Santa Monica, must take responsibility for reducing or eliminating those impacts, and must take an active part in community efforts to address sustainability concerns. The City will therefore be a leader in the creation and sponsorship of education opportunities to support community awareness, responsibility and participation in cooperation with schools, colleges and other organizations in the community. 1 2

5 The Santa Monica Sustainable City Plan is founded on eleven Guiding Principles that provide the basis from which effective and sustainable decisions can be made. These Guiding Principles have been revised and updated from the versions initially adopted in 1994.

5.A.a
Packet Pg. 57
Attachment: Sustainable City Plan (5520 : Purchase and Delivery of Renewable Diesel Fuel) 7 Santa Monica Recognizes Its Linkage with the Regional, National, and Global Community Local environmental, economic and social issues cannot be separated from their broader context.

This relationship between local issues and regional, national and global issues will be recognized and acted upon in the City’s programs and policies. The City’s programs and policies should therefore be developed as models that can be emulated by other communities. The City will also act as a strong advocate for the development and implementation of model programs and innovative approaches by regional, state and federal government that embody the goals of sustainability.

Those Sustainability Issues Most Important to the Community Will be Addressed First, and the Most Cost-Effective Programs and Policies Will be Selected The financial and human resources which are available to the City are limited. The City and the community will reevaluate its priorities and its programs and policies annually to ensure that the best possible investments in the future are being made. The evaluation of a program’s cost-effectiveness will be based on a complete analysis of the associated costs and benefits, including environmental and social costs and benefits.

The City is Committed to Procurement Decisions which Minimize Negative Environmental and Social Impacts
The procurement of products and services by the City, and Santa Monica residents, businesses and institutions results in environmental, social and economic impacts both in this country and in other areas of the world. The City will develop and abide by an environmentally and socially responsible procurement policy that emphasizes long-term values and will become a model for other public as well as private organizations. The City will advocate for and assist other local agencies, businesses and residents in adopting sustainable purchasing practices.

Cross-sector Partnerships Are Necessary to Achieve Sustainable Goals Threats to the long-term sustainability of Santa Monica are multi-sector in their causes and require multi-sector solutions. Partnerships among the City government, businesses, residents and all community stakeholders are necessary to achieve a sustainable community.

The Precautionary Principle Provides a Complimentary Framework to Help Guide City Decision-Makers in the Pursuit of Sustainability
The precautionary principle requires a thorough exploration and careful analysis of a wide range of alternatives, and a full cost accounting beyond short-term and monetary transaction costs. Based on the best available science, the precautionary principle requires the selection of alternatives that present the least potential threat to human health and the City’s natural systems. Where threats of serious or irreversible damage to people or nature exist, lack of full scientific certainty about cause and effect shall not be viewed as sufficient reason for the City to not adopt mitigating measures to prevent the degradation of the environment or protect the health of its citizens. Public participation and an open and transparent decision making process are critical to finding and selecting alternatives.

Santa Monica is Committed to Sustainable Rights for its Residents, Natural Communities and Ecosystems
The Sustainability Bill of Rights codifies the commitments made in the Sustainable City Plan and asserts the fundamental rights of all Santa Monica residents regarding sustainability. It establishes the rights of natural communities and ecosystems to exist and flourish in Santa Monica and asserts the rights of residents to enforce those rights on behalf of the environment. 7 8

including sports and other activities that typically
require playing fields, facilities or equipment.
affordable housing: any housing that is deed
restricted for, and occupied by, households earning
less than 120% of the Los Angeles County median
family income.
alternative fuel vehicles: vehicles that operate
on fuels other than gasoline or diesel in order to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.

Alternative fuel vehicles include those that operate
using compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid natural
gas (LNG), propane, electricity, hybrid of gasoline
and electricity, and hydrogen.
alternative (and/or sustainable) modes of
transportation: transportation by public transit
(bus or rail), bicycle or walking.
average vehicle ridership (AVR): a measurement of
vehicle occupancy indicating the average number of
persons traveling in a measured number of
vehicles. AVR is an indicator of the effectiveness of
and participation in ridesharing programs.
bike lane/path/route/sharrow: As defined in the
City’s Bike Action Plan, a bike lane is a signed and
striped lane along a roadway for use by bicycles.

Other types of bicycle ways in the city are bike
paths and bike routes. A bike path is a dedicated
bicycle way that completely separates bicycles from
motor vehicles. Bike routes are signed routes which
bicyclists share with motor vehicles. Bike routes
differ from bike lanes in that routes do not include
any striping on the roadway - they are only designated by signage. Sharrows are a pavement marking consisting of a directional arrow or “chevron,” and a bicycle symbol similar to those
seen in bicycle lanes. Sharrows demonstrate that
bicyclists should “take the lane” by directing them
into safe, shared-lane positioning.

Sustainable City Plan
Glossary business greening: program that involves consultation and implementation of measures to reduce energy and water use and waste, purchase environmentally preferable products, and educate staff and customers.
community: for the purpose of this document,
whenever the term community is used it is meant
to include the following groups: individuals of all
ages, races and abilities; organizations;
government agencies; businesses; employers;
employees; residents; property owners; renters;
visitors; schools; students; public and private
service agencies; faith communities; and local
media.
clean distributed generation: distributed
generation refers to generation of electricity at
or near the location where that electricity will be
used. This differs from traditional electricity generation, which occurs at centralized power plants and is distributed over hundreds of miles to millions of
customers through the electricity “grid”. For the
purpose of this document, clean distributed generation (in order of preferred technology type) refers to: 1) renewable distributed generation, including
electricity generated by solar photovoltaic systems,
fuel cells (powered by hydrogen generated from
solar, wind, or other non-fossil fuel, renewable
energy technologies), and small wind generators;
2) electricity generated by high efficiency (i.e.,
meeting or exceeding efficiency of large natural
gas power plants) natural gas generators and fuel
cells using hydrogen generated through a natural
gas catalyst; and 3) medium scale, high-efficiency
co-generation systems (powered by natural gas)
serving many properties located within close
proximity of each other. Clean distributed
generation does not include electricity generated
by gasoline or diesel powered generators.
diversion: in reference to solid waste, diversion
refers to all waste that is kept out of a landfill
through recycling, beneficial reuse, composting, or
other means.

5.A.a
Packet Pg. 75
Attachment: Sustainable City Plan (5520 : Purchase and Delivery of Renewable Diesel Fuel) 25 ecological footprint: The ecological footprint is
a tool to help measure human impacts on local
and global ecosystems. The ecological footprint
of a given population (household, community,
country) is the total area of ecologically productive land and water used exclusively to produce all the resources (including food, fuel, and fiber)
consumed and to assimilate all the wastes generated by that population. Since we use resources from all over the world and affect faraway places with our wastes, the footprint is a sum of
these ecological areas — wherever that land and
water may be on the planet. Thus the ecological
foot¬print of Santa Monica is that area of productive land inside and outside its borders that is appropriated for its resource consumption or
waste assimilation. There is a finite area of ecologically productive land and water on the Earth, which must be shared among 7 billion people
as well as all of the planet’s other species. The
amount of ecologically productive land available
globally at today’s current population is approximately 5 acres per person. The ecological footprint of the average American is approximately 25 acres, far exceeding the “fair earthshare”.

The ecological footprint is an excellent tool for
illustrating the magnitude of the change necessary for our world to become sustainable. It is also useful for evaluating and comparing the
total environmental impact of specific activities
and in this way, helpful for decision-making.
environmentally preferable: a product, service,
activity or process that has a lesser or reduced
effect on human health and the environment
when compared to other products, services,
activities or processes that serve the same
purpose.
extended producer responsibility: responsibility
of producers or manufacturers across the entire
life cycle of their products, particularly to the
post-consumer stage (after products are discarded and become waste). Typically once a product is sold to a consumer, the responsibility of
disposing of that product becomes the responsibility of the consumer. Extended producer responsibility requires that the producer of the
product maintain responsibility for recycling or
proper disposal of the product once it has
surpassed its useful life.
green: for the purpose of this document, green is
used as shorthand to refer to any environmentally
preferable product, activity, service or process.
(certified) green business: Santa Monica
businesses that have met a higher standard
of environmental performance, verified by
SustainableWorks and the City of Santa Monica.

Businesses must complete mandatory and
additional measures in areas concerning staff
education, waste reduction, energy efficiency,
water efficiency, pollution prevention, sustainable
procurement and transportation.
green housing: housing that meets or exceeds
the requirements of the City’s Green Building
Standards Code.
greenhouse gas (GHG): greenhouse gases are
natural and man-made gases in the earth’s
atmosphere that allow incoming solar radiation
to pass through the atmosphere and warm the
earth but trap radiant heat given off by the earth.

The radiant heat absorbed by these gases heats
the atmosphere. This is a natural process known
as the “greenhouse effect” that keeps the earth
habitable. The four primary greenhouse gases
are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous
oxide (N2O) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Since
the industrial period, human activities have led to
sharp increases in the levels of GHGs in the
atmosphere, enhancing the greenhouse effect and
contributing to rising global temperatures.
hazardous material: a material that, because
of its quantity, concentration, or physical or
chemical characteristics, poses a significant
present or potential hazard to human health and
safety or to the environment if released into the
workplace or the environment.
hazardous waste: a waste or combination of
wastes which, because of its quantity,
concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious
characteristics, may cause or significantly
contribute to an increase in serious, irreversible, or
incapacitating reversible illness or pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health, safety, welfare or to the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, used or disposed of, or otherwise managed.

Typical household hazardous wastes include
spent batteries, cleaning products, pesticides,
paints and solvents.

HHW programs: refers to City operated
programs to reduce use of hazardous
materials and safely collect and dispose of
community-generated HHW. These programs
include the HHW Center, which was
permanently closed in 2013, home collection
services, used oil collection, pharmaceutical
disposal, sharps collection and establishment
of local drop-off sites.
income levels: With respect to the indicators
of housing affordability the following are
definitions of the income levels mentioned in
this document:

Very low income: annual earnings between 0
and 50% of the Los Angeles County Median
Family income (MFI)
Low income: annual earnings between 51 and
80% MFI
Moderate income: annual earnings between
81 and 120% MFI
Upper income: annual earnings above 120%
MFI
LEEDTM certification (Leadership in Energy
& Environmental Design): A rating
system developed by the United States
Green Building Council (USGBC) that sets
definitive standards for what constitutes
a green or environmentally preferable
building. The certification system is selfassessing and is designed for rating new and existing commercial, institutional, and
high-rise residential buildings. It evaluates
environmental performance of the entire
building over the building’s life cycle. LEED
certifications are awarded at various levels
(certified, silver, gold, and platinum) according
to a point-based scoring system.
livable housing: housing that is within close
proximity to neighborhood serving commercial
areas, transit stops and community resources such
as parks and open space.
local: the term local has different
definitions depending upon the context
in which it is used in this document.

These are described below:
1) Where local is used in reference to the economy
(“local economy” or “local businesses”) it refers
to Santa Monica’s economy or businesses located
within Santa Monica.
2) Local government agencies refer to any agencies
or departments of the Santa Monica city
government.
3) Where local refers to food production (“locally
produced”) it refers to food grown in the southern
half of the state of California.
4) Where local refers to resources, it refers to
resources obtained or impacted within a 500-mile
radius of Santa Monica.
mixed-use projects: developments which
incorporate both residential and commercial uses.

gardens, and other publicly accessible land.
passive recreation: recreational opportunities that occur in a natural setting which require minimal development or facilities, and
the importance of the environment or setting
for the activities is greater than in developed
or active recreation settings.

PBTs (persistent bioaccumulative toxics):
chemicals that are toxic, persist in the
environment and bioaccumulate in food
chains and, thus, pose risks to human health
and the environment. The term PBT is used
primarily by the US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), as part of its preparation of a
list of such chemicals that will receive special
regulatory emphasis in the United States.

POPs (persistent organic pollutants):

Organic chemical substances that persist in
the environment and bioaccumulate in food
chains and pose a risk of causing adverse
effects to human health and the
environment. The term POPs is commonly
used in the context of the United Nations
Environment Program (UNEP) and are subject
to international negotiations aiming toward
their global elimination.

Note: The primary difference between PBTs and POPs
is that the list of PBTs includes non-organic toxins
that are not included on the list of POPs.

exterior walls have been removed or relocated for any
duration of time.
renewable limits: harvesting resources within renewable limits refers to harvesting a renewable resource at a rate that is lower than the rate the resource can
replace itself (e.g. catching fish at a rate that will
allow the fish population to be maintained over time.

If too many fish are caught, exceeding renewable limits, the fish population will decline). The terms renewable limits and sustainable limits are synonymous. renewable resources: natural resources that have an
unlimited supply (such as solar radiation) or that can
be renewed indefinitely if ecosystem health is maintained (e.g. fisheries or forests). rent-burdened: households that spend more than 30
percent of gross income on rent.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Engineering and Street Services
Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works Department Subject: Award RFP to Kennedy Jenks Consultants, Inc. for Groundwater Wells Engineering Design Services
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

3. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Consulting, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $2,646,847 (including $240,622 contingency).

Summary
The Groundwater Wells Project (Project) would provide design services for one new drinking water production well to replace an existing well, four new monitoring wells and two new groundwater injection wells that would recharge the groundwater aquifer. The recharge wells would be used to inject advanced treated recycled water from the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) and Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURRF) into the Olympic Well Field. The monitoring wells are a regulatory requirement for injection wells. Injecting the advanced treated recycled water

from SWIP would help maintain the sustainable groundwater production in the Olympic Well Field and through transmission mains it would be conveyed to Arcadia Treatment Plant for treatment and distribution as drinking water. This Project, identified in the updated Sustainable Water Master Plan, is part of a long-term series of projects to become water self-sufficient, reduce our water supply energy footprint, and stabilize water rates long term. Staff recommends Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, Inc., to provide engineering design services, develop construction documents, obtain permits for the new wells and provide engineering support during the construction phase of the project for an amount not to exceed $2,646,847 including a 10% contingency.

Discussion
The City of Santa Monica recently completed the SWIP that adds a sustainable and drought-resilient water supply to diversify the City’s water supply portfolio and reduces the City’s reliance on imported water supplies. The SWIP is a key project in the City’s 2018 Sustainable Water Master Plan Update to provide a sustainable and drought resilient water supply for the community and reduces the City’s reliance on imported water supplies (Attachment A). The SWIP leverages stormwater, dry weather urban runoff, and municipal wastewater that is treated through a multi-barrier treatment process to produce purified water that exceeds drinking water standards and is used for non-potable uses (e.g., irrigation and dual-plumbed buildings) and groundwater recharge. The implementation of two additional groundwater recharge wells (SM-11i and SM-12i), and associated monitoring wells, would aim to maximize advanced treated recycled water produced at the SWIP to recharge local groundwater supplies in the Olympic Sub-basin. Each groundwater recharge well requires a monitoring well network to monitor travel time and water quality to comply with State of California’s groundwater recharge regulations.

5.B
Packet Pg. 85
3 of 6
In addition to the two groundwater recharge wells, a groundwater production well SM-4 would be replaced to maintain groundwater production in the Olympic Well Field. The existing groundwater production well (SM-4) has been in operation for over 30 years, has exceeded its useful life, and is limited to operate at 25-30% of its original production capacity. Replacing the existing aging SM-4 groundwater production well with a new well would enable the City to maintain local groundwater production in the Olympic Subbasin. Potential locations for the injection wells SM-11i, SM-12i and the existing well SM-4 are shown in the figure below, the replacement well SM-4 would be located approximately 50 feet to the east.

Environmental Review
The potential environmental effects of the groundwater recharge wells were previously analyzed in the Olympic Arcadia Treatment Plant Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) (State Clearinghouse No. 2020070129), adopted on November 24, 2020. As determined in the previously adopted IS/MND, impacts would be less than significant with the implementation of adopted mitigation measures.

The proposed four monitoring wells in the Santa Monica Basin are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), Section 15304 (Class 4 – Minor Alterations to Land), and Section 15306 (information Collection) of the CEQA Guidelines.

• Section 15303 exempts the construction of new small facilities or structures, including utility structures and extensions.
• Section 15304 exempts minor alterations to land, which do not involve removal of mature or scenic trees. Activities include minor grading, trenching, and backfilling.
• Section 15306 exempts the basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

The groundwater monitoring wells will be drilled up to depths between 400 to 800 feet below the surface with minimal ground surface area disturbed. Upon completion, the appearance of the monitoring wells will be largely confined to a small area with each well covered by a concrete pad not larger than 4 by 4 feet. The monitoring wells will provide information and data necessary to implement long-term sustainable groundwater planning and management for the Basin. Therefore, the installation of the monitoring wells qualifies for CEQA exemption pursuant to Sections 15303, 15304, and 15306 as they consist of the new construction of small structures, involve minor alterations to land, and information collection activities. In addition, none of the exceptions specified in Section 15300.2 of CEQA Guidelines would apply that would preclude the use of the CEQA exemptions:
• The project site is not located in a sensitive environment • The project will not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances
• The project would not damage scenic resources
• The project would not be located on a hazardous waste site based on a review of relevant databases
• The project would not cause a change to a historical resource as there are no historic resources identified within the identified site locations Replacement of the groundwater production well at the Olympic Well Field is exempt from CEQA as set forth in Section 15302 (Replacement and Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15302 exempts replacement or reconstruction of existing

structures and facilities where the new structure will be located in the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced because this project would replace existing groundwater productions wells that are beyond its asset life.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Susan Cline, Director, Public Works, Water Resources Subject: Sustainable Water Master Plan Update and Pathway to Water SelfSufficiency Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Provide staff with direction to proceed with water self-sufficiency components.

2. Provide staff with direction regarding funding recommendations to achieve water self-sufficiency.

3. Authorize budget changes as outlined in the Financial Impacts and Budget Actions section of this report.

4. Direct staff to return for a public hearing on January 8, 2019, to consider implementation of 9% water rate increase previously approved by Council on February 24, 2015 to go into effect on March 1, 2019.

Executive Summary
The City of Santa Monica (City) has historically provided water service to residential and business customers allowing for bold efforts in securing resiliency and self-sufficiency for the community. Given the statewide challenges surrounding a safe and reliable water supply in recent years, Council directed staff to develop a water self-sufficiency plan with the goal of meeting 100% of Santa Monica’s water demand using local water sources by 2020. On October 28, 2014, Council adopted the Sustainable Water Master Plan (SWMP), which outlines a strategy to achieve the City’s water self-sufficiency goal (Attachment A). Staff initiated a comprehensive update of the SWMP in 2017 to incorporate new information regarding local groundwater resources and to integrate new water conservation programs and alternative water supply opportunities. On January 9, 2018, staff reported to Council that further analysis was needed to assess whether the City could meet its water self-sufficiency goal by 2020 (Attachment B). The further analyses have been completed and confirm that achieving water self-sufficiency that can be maintained into the future is practical and cost effective, but the projected

date of reaching that goal would be 2023. The delay from the original date is due to new state drinking water requirements implemented in 2018, permitting requirements for alternative water supply projects, and results of recently completed feasibility studies which resulted in longer timelines for project completion relative to previous estimates.

The benefits of becoming water self-sufficient when compared to the alternative of continuing to meet a portion of local water demand using imported water include: longterm cost benefits for water ratepayers, establishment of a diverse, sustainable and drought resilient local water supply, and reduction of the City’s water supply energy footprint. It should be noted that in the updated plan proposed by staff, water selfsufficiency equates to approximately 99% locally sourced water, with 1% of the City’s water supply still being purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) to maintain the imported water connection for emergency purposes.

The updated proposal to meet water self-sufficiency presented in this staff report includes an optimized water conservation program together with local water supply projects, an updated implementation timeline, and recommended funding toward achieving water self-sufficiency for the City. Following Council direction and approval, the final components will be included in an updated SWMP that will guide City efforts toward achieving the goal through 2023. To achieve self-sufficiency by 2023, staff is proposing to replace imported water purchases with a comprehensive plan consisting of:
 Component 1 - continuing and increasing water conservation efforts to permanently reduce water demand,
 Component 2 - developing sustainable and drought resilient alternative water supplies, and
 Component 3 - expanding local groundwater production within sustainable yield limits.

The anticipated cost to implement the components required to meet the self-sufficiency goal is approximately $38 million to increase local water supplies, which includes capacity expansion of the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant (WTP), implementation of

5.B.a
Packet Pg. 91

production efficiency enhancements, as well as acquiring an additional groundwater well to enhance resiliency. The $38 million would be funded primarily through the issuance of a water revenue bond and a contribution from the Wastewater Fund ($3.25 million) to the Water Fund to fund the various projects outlined in this staff report, with the debt service on the bonds incorporated into water rates in an upcoming rate study.

An additional $64 million from existing water-contamination settlement funds would be used for restoring the Olympic Sub-basin, which would allow additional water production from that sub-basin to support achievement of water self-sufficiency. The proposed water self-sufficiency plan and staff recommendations are based on recently completed studies (e.g., confirmation of sustainable yield analysis, evaluation of new drinking water regulations on the Olympic Sub-basin restoration, and feasibility studies to assess new technologies that increase production efficiency at the Arcadia WTP) in which multiple scenarios were evaluated for cost, benefits and effectiveness.

Lastly, staff will return to Council on January 8, 2019, for a public hearing and to recommend a full implementation of the 9% water rate adjustment (within the previously adopted Council authorization) for calendar year 2019 and effective on water bills issued on or about March 1, 2019. The recommended water rate adjustment would ensure a fiscally sustainable comprehensive program for safe, clean, reliable water supply to our community. It would also help offset increased construction costs to keep up with the City’s 100-year water main replacement program and fund preliminary design efforts on the various components required to achieve water self-sufficiency as contemplated in the 2014 rate study.

Background
On January 25, 2011, City Council directed staff to develop a water self-sufficiency plan with the goal of meeting 100% of Santa Monica’s water demand using local water sources by 2020. On October 28, 2014, Council adopted the SWMP which outlines a comprehensive plan to achieve water self-sufficiency. The SWMP involves a combination of water demand reduction strategies through various water conservation and efficiency programs designed to permanently reduce residential and commercial

5.B.a
Packet Pg. 92

water use, along with increased water supply from 1) alternative water sources such as captured rainwater and treated wastewater; 2) increased efficiency of the City’s water treatment systems; and 3) additional pumping from existing groundwater wells and new wells in the local groundwater basin. Implementation of the SWMP has been proceeding since 2014, with updates provided during Council’s annual consideration of water rate adjustments. The most recent update was provided on January 9, 2018.

Between 2014 and 2018, other elements of the SWMP progressed, including completion of a preliminary Sustainable Yield Analysis (SYA) of the Santa Monica groundwater basin and finalizing plans for the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) to support further analysis and refinement of alternatives to reduce reliance on imported water supply and meet the City’s self-sufficiency goal. Staff initiated a comprehensive update of the SWMP in 2017 to incorporate new information regarding local groundwater resources, regulatory updates, and to integrate new water conservation programs and alternate water supply opportunities.

On January 9, 2018, staff reported to Council that further analysis was needed to assess whether the City could meet its water self-sufficiency goal by 2020. Additional work completed since January 2018 included analysis to validate preliminary SYA estimates of the local groundwater basin, drilling of exploratory water wells in the Coastal sub-basin to evaluate potential new local water production, technical studies to evaluate the cost and viability of increasing the production efficiency of the City’s Arcadia WTP, evaluating the impact of new drinking water regulations (e.g., maximum contaminant level [MCL] for 1,2,3 TCP) on groundwater extraction from the Olympic Sub-basin, and evaluating the cost and viability of additional water conservation programs as requested by the Task Force on the Environment. A timeline summarizing key events related to the development of the SWMP from 2011 is provided in Figure 1.

Staff currently anticipates that the City would achieve water self-sufficiency in 2023 based on the plan outlined in this report. In addition to the proposed plan to achieve water self-sufficiency, a Five-Year Rate Study (2020-2024) is also currently underway and will consider potential rate impacts of water self-sufficiency projects. Results of the Five Year Rate Study will be presented to Council in the first half of 2019.

Discussion
Goals and Benefits of Water Self-Sufficiency
The proposed plan to meet the City’s self-sufficiency goal involves a combination of demand reduction through various water conservation and efficiency programs and the addition of local water supplies which will also provide the following benefits:
 Long-term cost benefits to ratepayers by maximizing local water resources  Provide a more sustainable and drought-resilient water supply through a diversified water supply portfolio
 Reduce the City’s water supply energy footprint through conservation and locally sourced water supplies
With imported water purchase costs from MWD expected to increase annually from 3 to 7 percent over the next 10 years, the primary focus of the updated SWMP was to develop water self-sufficiency scenarios that are both sustainable and economical compared to the continued purchase of imported water from MWD. Development of

5.B.a
Packet Pg. 94

cost-effective local, sustainable, and drought resilient water supplies will provide Santa Monica water ratepayers with cost benefits over the long-term and provide the City with greater cost certainty on water rates compared to the continued purchase of imported water from MWD.

Providing a sustainable and drought-resilient water supply through a diversified water supply portfolio eliminates the City’s reliance on the purchase of imported water from MWD and maintains reliable production during routine maintenance and unforeseen downtimes of treatment equipment.

Lastly, maximizing local water resources instead of purchasing imported water from MWD also has long-term environmental benefits for the community in terms of reduced energy use and the associated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, which support Council’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 or sooner. The addition of alternative water supplies, expansion of local groundwater supplies, and increased conservation will result in a 25-30% reduction of total energy footprint from the City’s water supply compared to continued purchase of imported water from MWD.

Marching Toward Water Self-Sufficiency
The City’s water supply portfolio has progressively transformed since 2011, with the community making significant strides toward water self-sufficiency and reduced reliance on the purchase of imported water to supplement local water resources as indicated in Figure 2. In 2011, after completion of the Charnock Wellfield Restoration Project, the City was able to meet approximately 51 percent (~6,700 acre-feet per year [AFY]) of its water supply demand through local groundwater resources and reduce the purchase of water from MWD, which is imported from Northern California and the Colorado River, to approximately 48% (~6,400 AFY).

Figure 2: Overview of City’s Water Supply Portfolio from 2011 through 2017 In 2015, the City and its residents responded to severe drought conditions throughout California with conservation efforts that resulted in a decrease in the City’s total water demand of 14,300 AFY in 2014 by about 17% (-2,500 AFY) to approximately 11,800 AFY by 2017. Santa Monica’s population grew by about 1.6% from 92,321 to 93,834 over the same period. Conservation efforts resulted in a decrease in average annual water consumption, measured in gallons per capita per day (GPCD), from 140 GPCD to approximately 110 GPCD as indicated in Figure 3 and continues today even after the governor declared an end to the drought.

Figure 3: Historical Population Growth versus Per Capita Water Consumption From 2015 through 2017, the City was meeting approximately 50-56% of its water supply demand through local water sources (7,400-8,200 AFY) and 26-29% through water conservation (approximately 2,500 AFY), with the amount of imported water purchased from MWD dropping to approximately 26-29% (3,700-4,100 AFY). In 2017, local groundwater supply temporarily decreased due to an extended shutdown (approximately six months) of one well in the Charnock sub-basin for maintenance and repair. The loss of a single well from the Charnock Sub-basin over the six-month period and loss of approximately 800 AFY of groundwater production highlighted the need to increase resiliency of the local water supply to maintain reliable production as the City continues its march toward water self-sufficiency.

Refined SWMP Pathway to Achieve Water Self-Sufficiency
Additional analyses of various elements of the SWMP, as outlined at the January 9, 2018 City Council meeting, have been completed, and based on those analyses staff now estimates that water self-sufficiency can be achieved by 2023. To achieve selfsufficiency by 2023, staff is proposing to replace the purchase of imported water from MWD (approximately 50% of the total water supply demand when self-sufficiency efforts were initiated in 2011) with a comprehensive plan consisting of: 1) Component 1 - continuing and increasing water conservation efforts to permanently reduce water demand, 2) Component 2 - developing sustainable and drought resilient alternative

water supplies, and 3) Component 3 - expanding local groundwater production within sustainable yield limits.

The delay in achieving the City’s self-sufficiency goal from 2020 to 2023 is due to several factors, including new regulations established by the State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water (DDW) that required further analysis to determine the level of treatment required for the Olympic Sub-basin, the project timeline and permitting schedule for the SWIP project to recharge local groundwater aquifers with purified water, and the need to confirm and refine preliminary SYA estimates with additional data to establish an accurate estimate of the sustainable yield for the Santa Monica Groundwater Basin.

The remainder of this staff report is organized as follows to provide detailed descriptions of each component of the updated SWMP and its contribution/benefits toward the City’s self-sufficiency goal:
 Proposed Plan to Achieve Water Self-Sufficiency
 SWMP Project Cost and Implementation Schedule
 Funding Recommendations
Proposed Plan to Achieve Water Self-Sufficiency
A comprehensive plan was developed through the SWMP and comprises three components that provide a path for the City to achieve water self-sufficiency by 2023.

The contribution of each proposed component to eliminate reliance on imported water supply by 2023 is summarized in Figure 4 along with the percent contribution toward replacing imported water purchases. In total, the three components: 1) conservation, 2) alternative water supplies - production efficiency, recycled water, and purified water for recharge, and 3) new local groundwater will contribute approximately 8,057 AFY toward the City’s total water supply and reduce imported water purchase to only 170 AFY. A brief description of each of the recommended components is provided below.

Figure 4: Summary of Proposed Components to Replace Imported Water Supply by 2023 Component 1 - Conservation (38% Reduction in Imported Water Purchases) In 2014, Council authorized the significant expansion of staffing and funding to augment the City’s water conservation efforts to address the state-wide drought and help the City meet its self-sufficiency goal. This contributed to a water demand reduction of approximately 20% over the past three years (2015-2017), which equates to saving approximately 2,500 AFY. Continued implementation of the existing conservation programs with the addition of supplemental conservation efforts is expected to continue this trend of water demand reduction through 2040, with the staff recommended Optimal conservation plan which is described below. Continuation of existing, and implementation of proposed, conservation programs are essential for the City to eliminate reliance on imported water from MWD. The recommended Optimal conservation plan will contribute approximately 3,100 AFY to the City’s water supply portfolio in 2023 and reduce imported water purchases by roughly 38%.

Staff modeled three conservation plans (Optimal, Enhanced, and 90 GPCD), which are presented in gallons per capita per day by 2025 and abbreviated as GPCD. The Optimal Conservation Plan can be completed using existing budgeted resources and would reduce the City’s total water demand by approximately 20%, even after factoring in demand increases associated with expected population growth through 2025.

Packet Pg. 99
Attachment: Nov 27 2018 Staff Report (5559 : Award RFP #2678 to Kennedy Jenks for Design Injection well SM-11i & SM-12i) 11 of 40
Increasing conservation efforts from the Optimal to the Enhanced Plan would cost an additional $7.2 million in total program cost, on top of the budget already allocated for the Optimal Conservation Plan, but with a marginal increase in water conserved (approximately 2% additional reduction in GPCD with the Enhanced Plan). The enhanced conservation plan would still require approximately 3,500 to 3,700 AFY of water that would need to be met through the purchase of imported water or from the development of additional local water resources. With marginal gains from increased conservation efforts compared to the additional implementation cost required, staff is recommending continuing with the optimal conservation plan, which costs approximately $708/AF of water saved.

A third, aggressive conservation plan was also studied following a request by the Task Force on the Environment to evaluate the cost and feasibility of reducing city-wide water demand to 90 GPCD by 2025. The assessment of the 90 GPCD Plan conducted by staff concluded that reducing overall water demand to 90 GPCD would be extremely costly and may not be feasible for implementation. The overall cost to implement this plan would exceed $56.6 million, with $40 million of the cost incurred over the first five years. In addition to the significant cost premium, this scenario would likely require additional staffing and would be very challenging to achieve by 2025.

Staff met with industry experts to review and receive input on the City staff modeling of proposed conservation programs. A panel of outside experts supported both the optimal and enhanced conservation plans and the proposed programs that comprise them. A summary of the conservation scenarios evaluated is provided in Table 1.

1GPCD based on water conservation efforts achieved as of 2025 2Excluding ongoing conservation staffing cost.

Due to conservation efforts since 2015, the City’s current water demand measured in gallons per capita per day (GPCD) is approximately 110 GPCD. Staff also conducted a theoretical exercise to determine what would be required for the City to become water self-sufficient solely through conservation efforts (assuming no imported water and no additional local water production). Results of that exercise indicated that the total per capita water demand would need to be reduced to 64 GPCD. Staff consulted water conservation experts, analyzed conservation efforts in other cities and evaluated various local conservation scenarios and determined that attempting to achieve the selfsufficiency goal through conservation alone (i.e. achieving 64 GPCD in Santa Monica) is neither financially feasible nor realistic within the time horizon.

However, the community should be commended on the conservation efforts already taken to reduce water demand and decrease imported water purchased from MWD.

Santa Monica is - and can be - a model for a new ethic of resource self-sufficiency and environmental sustainability. The Council’s recent adoption of the 100% renewable default rate for community electric supply represents this ethos of “living within our means.” Conservation will continue to play a critical role in the City’s march toward water self-sufficiency by continuing to reduce overall water demand in the face of continued population growth from new housing and demand from the commercial and institutional sectors of our local economy.

Based on the modeling described above, staff recommends pursuing the Optimal conservation plan, which continues the successful conservation programs initiated over the past three years and increases water conservation in untapped areas such as:
 Funding of retrofits in Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District facilities and landscapes
 Commercial sector fixture retrofits and enhanced rebates  Coin-operated laundry machine retrofits
 Increase in Water Neutrality offsets and direct installs  Rebates for new technologies including gray and black water systems  Enhanced water conservation education and enforcement  Additional sustainable landscape conversions
 Outreach to assist customers on how to properly adjust their irrigation timers  New marketing and outreach campaign focusing on instilling permanent conservation behaviors consistent with the state’s forthcoming framework for “Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life”
 Incorporating limited-term employees as part of the permanent water conservation team to ensure new state requirements and regulations are met, as well as maintaining programs at an effective level
In developing the water conservation plan to reach and maintain self-sufficiency, the City evaluated the potential for further water efficiency and conservation in all customer sectors. This included an assessment of the current level of water fixtures in the city, as well as identifying where the greatest opportunity for reducing water consumption existed. Based on this analysis, a program plan was developed to reach the City’s longterm objectives via existing and new conservation programs.

Table 2 shows the projects planned over the next five years including the number of activities for each program such as number of rebates, consultations and direct installation of water efficient fixtures to replace inefficient fixtures in existing buildings

throughout the city. The projected number of activities is based on historical participation, available market of opportunity, and strategic community engagement campaigns to increase programs over multi-year periods.

Modeling of the water conservation plan was purposefully conservative and only includes expected water demand reductions directly related to City efforts. Therefore, the projected demand reductions do not include the potential savings from efficiency improvements in California State Plumbing Codes known as “passive conservation.” Passive water conservation is achievable through non-City sponsored programs, such as maximizing current plumbing code enforcement, landscape ordinances, natural fixture replacement rates, as well as future local and state regulations and codes. This includes the impact and enforcement of the legislation, California SB 407, requiring noncompliant plumbing fixtures in any single-family residential and multi-family residential, and commercial properties to be replaced by the property owner with waterconserving plumbing fixtures.

Through the currently established programs, proposed new programs, and passive conservation, it is estimated that the City can reach 99 GPCD by 2025 and 96 GPCD by 2030. These efforts would result in an estimated additional annual savings between 680 acre-feet (AF) per year by 2025 and as much as 1,000 AF per year in 2030. The City allocates funding for conservation within the water fund annual operating budget; no additional funding would be required to implement the Optimal Conservation Plan. Staff will return during the Five-Year Rate Study to present long-term staffing options for the recommended Optimal Conservation Program.

Component 2 - Alternative Water Supplies (35% Reduction in Imported Water Purchases)
To further diversify the City’s water supply portfolio and increase overall resilience, three alternative water supply projects are proposed and collectively offset imported water purchases from MWD by 35 percent (see Figure 4). These projects include:
 Increase recycled water production through the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP), upgrading the existing Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling

5.B.a
Packet Pg. 104 Attachment: Nov 27 2018 Staff Report (5559 : Award RFP #2678 to Kennedy Jenks for Design Injection well SM-11i & SM-12i) 16 of 40
Facility (SMURRF) and constructing a new Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) that provides a drought resilient, local water supply. The increase in recycled water production from SMURRF would offset imported water purchases from MWD by approximately 4% (approximately 560 AFY).
 Recharge local groundwater aquifers in the Olympic Sub-basin to maintain sustainable yield pumping levels with purified water from the SWIP’s AWPF. The purified water from the AWPF would offset imported water purchases from MWD by approximately 7% (approximately 1,100 AFY).
 Upgrade the City’s Arcadia Water Treatment Plant (WTP) with new technology to increase overall production. Closed Circuit Reverse Osmosis (CCRO) would be added to the Arcadia WTP to treat the Reverse Osmosis concentrate waste stream, which is currently discharged to the sewer system, and increase the overall treatment efficiency at the Arcadia WTP to approximately 90 percent, or greater. The addition of CCRO at the Arcadia WTP would offset imported water purchases from MWD by approximately 8% (approximately 1,200 AFY).

The SWIP project is a major component of the alternative water supply for the City as it will provide a sustainable and drought resilient water supply by providing purified water to recharge local groundwater aquifers. In return, the aquifer recharge that will be provided by the SWIP will allow the City to maximize groundwater pumping, within sustainable yield limits, from the Olympic Sub-basin.

Component 3 - New Local Groundwater Production (25% Reduction in Imported Water Purchases)
To offset the remaining imported water purchased from MWD, local groundwater production would need to be increased to reduce imported water purchases from MWD by 25% and resiliency measures implemented to maintain reliable production.

Staff developed and analyzed seven scenarios to expand the City’s groundwater production and carefully vetted each scenario internally and with outside industry experts. The seven scenarios were compared based on project feasibility, capital, and operation cost, and are summarized in Attachment C. All scenarios evaluated assume

Packet Pg. 105 Attachment: Nov 27 2018 Staff Report (5559 : Award RFP #2678 to Kennedy Jenks for Design Injection well SM-11i & SM-12i) 17 of 40
that the Optimal Conservation Plan is implemented. Of the seven scenarios evaluated, Scenario 1 - Expansion of Arcadia WTP with Closed Circuit Reverse Osmosis (CCRO) combined with a Separate Olympic Sub-basin Pipeline and Treatment at the Arcadia WTP site is recommended. Scenario 1 combined with the Optimal Conservation Plan is the most cost-effective solution to achieve self-sufficiency and maximize local water resources. Scenario 1 includes the following elements:
 Expansion of the Arcadia WTP, including CCRO technology (as discussed under component 2 - alternative water supplies), to increase treatment capacity and accommodate future 2040 water demands.
 Acquisition of a new groundwater well to enhance resiliency.  Olympic Sub-basin Restoration:
o A new pipeline separating Olympic Sub-basin water, conveying it independently to the Arcadia WTP, thus requiring a smaller treatment facility at the Arcadia WTP to remove contaminants in the Olympic Sub-basin.
o Separate contamination treatment facility at the Arcadia WTP for the Olympic basin.

Expansion at Arcadia WTP
To support development of alternative water supplies and restoration of the Olympic Sub-basin, treatment capacity expansion and plant upgrades are required at the Arcadia WTP to support an overall increase in water production and enhance resiliency to achieve water self-sufficiency. The Arcadia WTP is currently capable of treating up to approximately 11,300 AFY (10 million gallons per day [mgd]) and produce 9,900 AFY (8.9 mgd) of treated water (approximately 82% recovery or efficiency). The proposed expansion and addition of new technologies to increase production efficiency at the Arcadia WTP will increase its treatment capacity to approximately 14,700 AFY (13 mgd) and produce 13,400 AFY (12 mgd) of treated water (approximately 92% recovery or efficiency). The proposed improvements for expanding production capacity at the Arcadia WTP and enhancing water supply resiliency include:

5.B.a
Packet Pg. 106 Attachment: Nov 27 2018 Staff Report (5559 : Award RFP #2678 to Kennedy Jenks for Design Injection well SM-11i & SM-12i) 18 of 40
 Acquire an additional groundwater well to enhance resiliency and maintain production during routine maintenance or unforeseen downtimes of groundwater wells, while aggressively pumping within the sustainable yield.  Install new CCRO to increase overall plant efficiency to 90 percent or greater (as discussed previously under component 2 - alternative water supplies).  Expand capacity (e.g., pumps, blowers, cartridge filters, etc.) of the Arcadia WTP to accommodate increased groundwater production and new technologies (e.g., CCRO described in Component 2).

Olympic Sub-basin Restoration
The Olympic Sub-basin plays a key role in achieving the City’s water self-sufficiency goal as it could provide up to 3,200 AFY of groundwater and is also the location where purified water from the SWIP will be recharged to sustain this pumping rate. However, the Olympic Sub-basin contains several contaminants that would require additional treatment to meet drinking water standards. The key contaminants in the Olympic Subbasin include: 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP), 1,4-Dioxane, trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). Drinking water regulations, or maximum contaminant levels (MCL), have been in place for TCE and PCE prior to January 2018, and regulations for 1,2,3- TCP were established after January 2018 which required further treatment analysis. 1,4-Dioxane is currently on the State of California’s drinking water Notification Level (NL) list, which is a health-based advisory level and not an MCL. It is anticipated that the NL of 1 microgram per liter (g/L) or part per billion (ppb) for 1,4-Dioxane will likely become an MCL in the near future (within next 5 years).

Further analysis of treatment options for the Olympic Sub-basin was required due to a recently established drinking water regulation that established a MCL for 1,2,3 TCP at 5 parts per trillion (ppt), and additional data on 1,4 Dioxane was available to refine the treatment analysis to determine if the current 1 ppb NL (anticipated future MCL) could be met once full production of the Olympic Sub-basin is restored. The Olympic Subbasin treatment analysis was performed by an outside consultant, Black & Veatch. Key findings of the treatment analysis are listed below:

5.B.a
Packet Pg. 107 Attachment: Nov 27 2018 Staff Report (5559 : Award RFP #2678 to Kennedy Jenks for Design Injection well SM-11i & SM-12i) 19 of 40
 1,2,3-TCP was only detected at one well, SM-4, and the MCL of 5 ppt could be met through blending with other wells at full production capacity.  1,4-Dioxane is present in all three wells (two existing and one future) and could limit groundwater production from the Olympic Sub-basin to 845 AFY or approximately 25% of the basin’s total sustainable yield.
 Other contaminants, TCE and PCE, do not impact groundwater production from the Olympic Sub-basin as they would be removed through existing treatment processes at the Arcadia WTP.

To maximize groundwater production from the Olympic Sub-basin and comply with regulation on the key contaminants of concern, the following improvements are recommended:
 Increase groundwater pumping from existing wells (SM-3 and SM-4), complete equipping and permitting of one recently installed new well (SM-8) and install a replacement well (SM-9) to increase local production from this sub-basin to ~3,200 AFY within sustainable yield levels. Please note that purified water from the SWIP will be used to recharge the Olympic Sub-basin that helps maintain the sustainable yield levels by supplementing naturally available groundwater within the sub-basin.

Design and procurement efforts are currently underway, and the well projects were previously approved by Council in the FY 19-20 Capital Improvement Budget.  Construct a new pipeline to separate Olympic Sub-basin groundwater from Charnock wellfield groundwater for separate treatment at the Arcadia WTP, primarily to target removal of 1,4 Dioxane. This reduces the amount of water needing treatment since only the Olympic Sub-basin flows (3,200 AFY) contain 1,4 Dioxane.

If the flows are not separated, 14,700 AFY (Olympic + Charnock) would need to be treated.
 Construct a new contamination treatment facility for only the Olympic Sub-basin flows to remove 1,4 Dioxane, 1,2,3-TCP, TCE, and PCE at the Arcadia WTP site.

The proposed treatment train consists of the ultraviolet light advanced oxidation

process and granular activated carbon. With the new contamination treatment facility and increased production efficiency (90-92% recovery) at the Arcadia WTP, approximately 2,900 AFY of treated water will be produced from the 3,200 AFY extracted from the Olympic Sub-basin. The new contamination treatment facility will provide high-quality drinking water that meets current and future regulatory standards.

Sustainable Yield Update
The sustainable yield from the Santa Monica Groundwater Basin is a critical component to ensure overall groundwater production is within sustainable limits of the basin and could support the proposed projects described above on an ongoing basis. A preliminary Sustainable Yield Analysis, (SYA), prepared by Richard C. Slade & Associates (Slade) in 2017, was presented to Council in January 2018. Since then, additional work was performed to refine and update the SYA. Additional work included the Coastal Sub-basin Exploratory Boring Program and a digital elevation mapping study that analyzed the potential recharge from the nearby mountain front. The updated report contains findings from this recently completed work as well as 2017 data regarding rainfall, geology, static water levels in key wells, and groundwater withdrawals from active City wells and other known private well owners (Attachment D). The updated SYA estimate from Slade’s analysis for the Santa Monica Basin is between 11,800 and 14,725 AFY.

To substantiate the assessment conducted by Slade, City staff contracted with consultants from ICF to perform a separate estimate of the sustainable yield using a water-balance approach. This method compares the amount of water that recharges into a basin (inflow) from a wide range of sources (natural and anthropogenic), with the amount of water leaving the basin (outflow) from losses caused by pumping, evapotranspiration, basin outflow, etc. ICF’s assessment also considered findings from both the digital elevation mapping and Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Study (DInSAR) studies, presented to Council in January 2018. Based on ICF’s water-balance approach, average sustainable yield was estimated to be between

5.B.a
Packet Pg. 109 Attachment: Nov 27 2018 Staff Report (5559 : Award RFP #2678 to Kennedy Jenks for Design Injection well SM-11i & SM-12i) 21 of 40
11,416 AFY to 13,722 AFY. The similarity of the sustainable yield estimates developed by Slade and ICF using different modeling methods provide a strong level of confidence that the City can use local groundwater resources in an ongoing manner into the future without negatively impacting the basin or creating overdraft conditions.

It should be noted that the estimates developed by Slade and ICF are conservative and do not include a sustainable yield estimate for the Crestal Sub-basin. In addition, all estimates of sustainable yield are transitory due to myriad associated climatic and hydrogeologic factors that are constantly in flux. The State legislature enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (Water Code sections 10720 et seq.)("SGMA"), which became effective on January 1, 2015. A portion of the 50-square mile Santa Monica Basin that underlies Santa Monica has been designated by the Department of Water Resources as a "medium-priority" groundwater basin. Any groundwater basin designated as medium-priority must be managed under a groundwater sustainability plan (“GSP”) adopted by a local groundwater sustainability agency and approved by the Department, by January 31, 2022. In light of SGMA, further analysis will be required to determine if future demand will exceed what could be sustainably pumped from the basin. If it is determined that the City’s plans to extract more groundwater is not supported in the approved draft of the GSP, then the City may be precluded from withdrawing groundwater in excess of the then-projected sustainable yield and the City would need to continue purchasing imported water from MWD to meet its potable water demand. The potential limitations on future groundwater withdrawals from the City’s active sub-basins indicate that the City’s approach of pursuing nonconventional resources, indirect potable reuse via aquifer recharge, additional water supply wells in the Coastal sub-basin, replacement of underperforming wells, increasing treatment efficiency at the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant, and continuing conservation efforts are necessary for the City to achieve and sustain its long-term objective of independence from imported water. Future updates of the SYA and numerical models will further refine the sustainable yield for the basin. Going forward, the City is planning to update the SYA approximately every two to three years. Future updates will include additional findings from work being conducted jointly with the US Geological Survey (USGS) and an ongoing climate stress test evaluation by the Rand Corporation. The

City plans to produce groundwater within the upper limit of the estimated sustainable yield, while taking into consideration two irrigation pumpers in the Arcadia Sub-basin and one in the Crestal in addition to one diminutive residential irrigation well.

Summary of Proposed Plan to Achieve Water Self-Sufficiency The three components proposed in the SWMP will help the City achieve water selfsufficiency by 2023 and eliminate the City’s reliance on imported water purchases from the MWD. The projected makeup of the City’s water supply portfolio is summarized in Figure 5, and contribution from each component to the City’s total water supply is provided in Table 4. The location for each of the three components is provided in Figure 6, and the synergy and inter-relationship between each component is illustrated in Figure 7. Achieving water self-sufficiency through a diversified water supply portfolio also provides the City with greater cost control over water rates as compared to the continued purchase of imported water from the MWD. As noted previously, approximately 1 percent of the water supply would continue to be made up of imported water purchased from the MWD as periodic circulation is required to maintain the supply line as an emergency backup for the City.

Figure 7: Synergy between Proposed Water Supply Components to Achieve Self-Sufficiency SWMP Cost Summary and Implementation Schedule
A cost summary for the proposed SWMP components to achieve self-sufficiency by 2023 is provided in Table 5. The funding required to complete the capital projects increasing local water supplies and enhance water supply resiliency is $38 million. A Five-Year Rate Study (2020-2024) is currently underway and will present funding solutions to cover these costs. It is projected that the components of the proposed SWMP may be funded primarily through the issuance of water revenue bonds (approximately $34.75 million), with the debt service on the bonds incorporated into water rates, and from a contribution from the Wastewater Fund (approximately $3.25 million). Staff will return to Council in spring 2019 for a rate study session. An additional $64 million from existing water-contamination settlement funds would be used for restoring the Olympic Sub-basin, which would allow additional water production from

that sub-basin to support water self-sufficiency. The Olympic Sub-basin restoration cost includes an approximate, one-time $20 million capital expenditure for treatment systems and 30 years of ongoing operation and maintenance for an additional $20 million. Based on current modeling projections by ICF, over 80% of the Olympic Sub-basin will be remediated within the first 30 years; however, the Sub-basin may not be completely restored. Thus, the remaining balance in the settlement fund ($24 million) should be reserved to address any contamination that may still be present after 30 years or any new regulations that may impact use of the Olympic Sub-basin. A more detailed discussion on recommended budget appropriations is provided below.

Implementing the SWMP and reaching water self-sufficiency by 2023 entails numerous capital projects that are interrelated. An overview of the proposed implementation schedule is provided in Figure 8. Several well projects (SM-8, SM-9 and injection well) were approved by Council on July 11, 2017 and on June 12, 2018 and are on track to be completed by 2021 (Attachments E and F, respectively). A portion of the projects are in the City of Los Angeles and require installation of pipelines. Construction and permitting of pipelines in the City of Los Angeles will take time and was considered in the schedule. The design, construction, and permitting of improvements at the Arcadia WTP, including efficiency upgrades, are expected to be completed in 2023 if procurement starts in December 2018. A schedule contingency of approximately six months has been included to account for unforeseen conditions or new regulations that could impact the plan implementation.

Figure 8: Proposed Implementation Schedule to Achieve Self-Sufficiency by 2023 Alternatives to Water Self-Sufficiency
The proposed SWMP components summarized above are a considerable investment towards the City’s future resiliency and achieving water self-sufficiency by 2023. In consideration of the capital investment and impacts to water rates, staff has also evaluated potential alternatives to reduce capital expenditures to potentially provide relief to potential water rate increases (to be confirmed in the Five-Year Rate Study for 2020-2024). A summary of potential alternatives that may reduce upfront capital investment compared to the proposed water self-sufficiency plan is provided in Table 6.

The capital cost summarized in Table 6 for each alternative is the capital cost that needs to be funded and does not include the $64 million in settlement funds that will be used for the Olympic Sub-basin restoration. For all alternatives, it is assumed that the Olympic Sub-basin restoration will be implemented. A brief description on which component is implemented and its associated capital cost to be funded is provided.

Staff also considered delaying self-sufficiency goal to beyond 2023 and delaying capital expenditures to ease rate increase over the next five years. However, delaying implementation may result in increasing overall project cost due to inflation and negate

any potential up front capital savings. The alternatives summarized in Table 6 only consider reduction in upfront capital cost and do not include projected increase of imported water purchase from MWD (estimated to be at 5% annual increase), which will ultimately be more expensive than locally produced water.

The alternatives evaluated by staff are simply presented as scenarios to reduce capital expenditures over the next five years but does not provide a complete solution to achieve the City’s water self-sufficiency goal.

Funding Recommendations to Achieve Water Self-Sufficiency A financial analysis for the plan outlined in this report to achieve water self-sufficiency was conducted by staff. The financial analysis includes comparing the future cost of imported water to the projected cost of locally produced water over a 30-year period.

This analysis excluded the Olympic Sub-basin restoration costs, as the recommended funding source would be from groundwater settlement funds received by the City from outside sources to cover the costs for remediating the contaminants in that sub-basin. In summary, locally produced water from the recommended SWMP components outlined in this report is projected to cost between $400/AFY to $1,100/AFY, which is less than the expected cost to purchase imported water from the MWD at $1248/AFY in 2023.

Please refer to Table 5, presented previously, for a detailed breakdown on the cost per acre-foot for each local water supply component. A comparison of the projected cost differential between the purchase of imported water from the MWD and production of locally produced water is provided in Table 7. With locally produced water cheaper than imported water costs, the components outlined in the SWMP to achieve water selfsufficiency by 2023 are a positive investment toward the future of the City. Ratepayers will benefit from the implementation of these projects, thus keeping local water costs low compared to the ongoing cost increases for imported water. Not only does the proposed SWMP provide a sustainable and drought resilient water supply for the City, it would also benefit the ratepayers with greater control over future water rates compared with

imported water rates that are projected to increase at a higher rate and are outside the City’s control.

Table 7: Future Estimated Imported Water Cost (increased at 5%) Compared to Projected Locally Produced Water Cost. Assuming Efficiency (CCRO) technology is installed and 2,800AFY is produced.

As noted previously, staff recommends a combination of bonding and use of settlement funds to fund the capital projects supporting water self-sufficiency and the Olympic Subbasin restoration.

Water Revenue Bond: A rate study is currently being conducted through October 2019 to set water and wastewater rates for calendar years 2020 to 2024. The rate study will address options to support the costs of this plan. A possible funding solution, to be confirmed in the rate study, is the issuing of a 30-year water revenue bond totaling approximately $34.75 million to increase local water supplies and enhance resiliency as outlined in the SWMP. The remaining $3.25 million would be contributed from the Wastewater Fund due to joint property use. The $34.75 million in bonds would cover new well acquisition, treatment capacity expansion and implementation of new

technologies to enhance production efficiency at the Arcadia WTP, and other supporting infrastructure upgrades. The Water Fund would need to cover an annual payment of approximately $2.2 million over the next 30 years to fund the projects outlined in the SWMP. Assuming a bond is issued, Figure 9 illustrates projected annual savings from avoiding imported water purchases and estimated annual bond repayments. In year 2036, where the two lines cross, the City will start saving money for rate payers on an annual basis. This analysis assumes imported water cost from MWD will increase at an annual rate of 5%. The total money borrowed is estimated to be offset by cumulative savings in the year 2048.

available in the Water Fund as authorized by Council on January 9, 2018 and $53.0 million in the General Fund. Staff recommends transferring $53.0 million from the General Fund to the Water Fund to be used to restore the Olympic Sub-basin.

Additionally, to satisfy the settlement agreement, Boeing still owes the City three payments totaling $11.0 million. Staff recommends depositing these funds directly into the Water Fund.

Approximately $20 million would be used to construct a new treatment facility to remove the contaminants currently present in the sub-basin and $20 million would be reserved for operation and maintenance costs of the treatment facility related to restoration of the Olympic Sub-basin over a 30-year period. Due to uncertainty with the Olympic Subbasin restoration after 30 years, staff recommends setting aside the remaining $24 million of Gillette/Boeing funds as a reliability reserve. The remaining $11.0 million that has been previously transferred to the Water Fund, is currently being used for groundwater modeling, monitoring, and reporting in support of Olympic Sub-basin remediation.

With the proposed injection of advanced purified water from the SWIP into the Olympic Sub-basin, staff will revisit this timeframe and report back to Council in the future once recharge operation begins.

Grants - Staff will identify and apply for state and/or federal grants to help offset the $38 million capital investment and return to Council in early 2019 with resolutions required for grant applications if available for the proposed projects. Staff has engaged a grant consultant to assist in the process. Grants being considered are:
 MWD, Local Resources Program
 California Department of Water Resources, Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 (Proposition 1).

Previously Authorized Water Rate Increase

Packet Pg. 122 Attachment: Nov 27 2018 Staff Report (5559 : Award RFP #2678 to Kennedy Jenks for Design Injection well SM-11i & SM-12i) 34 of 40
On February 24, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 10867 (CCS) to authorize water rate increases over a five-year period, beginning March 1, 2015.

The five-year water increase schedule was adopted after Council’s consideration of a rate study conducted by Kennedy Jenks Consultants. Resolution Number 10867 (CCS) also contained a provision, giving Council flexibility to approve a suspension of each annual increase, in whole or part, beginning with the 9% scheduled increase for January 1, 2016. This resolution was adopted without a majority protest, following a noticed public hearing in accordance with Proposition 218. Since adoption of this resolution, Council has partially suspended the full increases authorized for 2016-2018, and instead approved 5% increases for each of those years due to:
 Actual water sales revenues exceeded expectations during 2015 to 2017.  Actual operating and capital expenditures lower than expected. Resulting savings were applied to conservation programs, water main replacements and partially suspending planned 9% annual rate increases to more modest 5% increases.

State of the Water Fund and Forthcoming 2019 Rate Adjustment Justification Staff will return to Council on January 8, 2019 for a public hearing and to obtain authorization for the full 9% water rate increase previously approved by Council on February 24, 2015 for calendar year 2019. If approved this would result in a monthly increase of $4.33 to average single-family customer. This is the final year of a five-year rate adjustment cycle approved via resolution as mentioned above.

A summary of rate increases from 2015 is provided in Table 8.

The full implementation of the 9% previously authorized adjustment would be sufficient to allow the City to:

A) Deliver potable water to Santa Monica customers reliably, safely and sustainably in compliance with federal and state regulations.

B) Fund operating and capital budgets that are necessary to implement the City's self-sufficiency goals to encourage water conservation and sustainability, as contemplated in the City's 2014 water rate analysis.

C) Continue to implement infrastructure improvements associated with replacing aging existing infrastructure facilities comprised of water mainlines that are approaching the end of their useful lives.

The 9% rate increase would provide sufficient funding to complete the following capital projects as contemplated in the City's 2014 water rate analysis and to continue progress toward the City’s water self-sufficiency goal:

1. Additional capacity improvements, which include Preliminary Design for the Arcadia Treatment Capacity Expansion and Enhancement Project - $3.18 million in FY 2018-19. As noted in the prior section, the design would upgrade pumps, blowers, cartridge filters, and other equipment at the treatment plant to accommodate increased groundwater production and new technologies. The design would also incorporate a new process (CCRO) to increase overall plant efficiency to 90% or greater (as discussed previously under component 2 - alternative water supplies.

2. New Groundwater Resiliency Well - $6,825,000 in FY 2018-19 for acquisition of a new groundwater well to enhance resiliency. Also limit future exposure to imported water.

3. Water Main Replacement Cost Escalation - an increase of $2,000,000 starting in FY 19-20. The rate increase is necessary to fund the sharp increase observed in

5.B.a
Packet Pg. 124 Attachment: Nov 27 2018 Staff Report (5559 : Award RFP #2678 to Kennedy Jenks for Design Injection well SM-11i & SM-12i) 36 of 40
water main replacement construction costs. Water main contract awards in 2017 and 2018 have returned bids of $600 to $700 per linear foot in the current highcost construction environment. These costs have increased from a prior $400 per linear foot estimate. The budget was established at $4 million per year. However, staff is now estimating a need of $6 million per year to implement the recommended 100-year water main replacement cycle (2 miles replaced per year for the City’s 205-mile water main system. Maintaining a $4 million per year budget would only yield replacement of 1.1 to 1.25 miles of pipeline per year, thus increasing the replacement cycle from 100 years to approximately 160 to 190 years. Staff recommends staying on a 100-year replacement cycle to maintain operational reliably.
 Council approval of the full 9% rate increase would also help fund the following ongoing operational expenditures:
1) Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California - $5 million per year from FY 2020-21 to FY 2022-23 (additional $8.7 million) to ensure sufficient funding for imported water deliveries prior to achieving water self-sufficiency. 2) City Yards Master Plan - Required contribution from the Water Fund for upgrades to City Yards - $4 million modeled, actual costs to be determined.

As noted above, staff will return to Council on January 8, 2019 with a recommendation that Council adopt the full 9% rate increase for calendar year 2019 as previously authorized in 2015. The staff report will include a detailed justification for the 9% rate increase as well as a 10-year fund forecast, cost comparison with other water agencies and an analysis of impacts to ratepayers.

Funding Summary
Table 9 provides a summary of funding recommendations to implement the SWMP. As noted above, staff also recommends that Council approve funding for three Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, which would commence in FY 2018-19:

Agenda Item: 5.C
1 of 3
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Water Resources Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the City's Sewer System Management Plan Update
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

2. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15308 (Actions for Protection of the Environment), of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Summary
The City of Santa Monica’s Water Resources Division within the Public Works Department operates and maintains the City’s sanitary sewer system, which consists of approximately 150 miles of sewer main, a sanitary sewer lift station (Moss Avenue Pump Station), and 2,800 maintenance utility holes. The City is required to update its Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) periodically to comply with statewide Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) administered by the California State Water Resources Control Board. The WDR permit requires the City to operate and maintain sanitary sewer systems to prevent spills and to eliminate discharge of sewage into waters of the State through effective implementation of the SSMP, among other requirements. The Water Resources Division recently updated the City’s SSMP, which requires recertification by City Council prior to submittal to the California State Water Resources Control Board. Staff recommends that City Council recertify the City’s revised SSMP. By

5.C
Packet Pg. 137

recertifying the SSMP, the City would reinforce its commitment to managing the sanitary sewer system in a manner that protects public health and natural resources.

Discussion
On May 2, 2006, the California State Water Resources Control Board announced requirements for a statewide waste discharge requirements permit (Order NO. 2006- 0003-DWQ) to regulate sanitary sewer systems. The California State Water Resources Control Board requires public entities that own and/or operate one or more sanitary sewer systems greater than one (1) mile in length to obtain a WDR permit for sanitary sewer systems. The City currently holds a WDR permit for its sanitary sewer system and the first SSMP was approved by City Council on September 8, 2009. The City’s recently completed Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) is regulated under its own WDR permit (Order No. R4-2021-0044) to produce advanced treated recycled water for non-potable uses (e.g., irrigation and dual-plumbed buildings) and groundwater recharge. Thus, discussion of the SWIP is not included in the SSMP.

The purpose of the SSMP is to identify necessary administrative elements to properly schedule, manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the City’s sanitary sewer system, to reduce and prevent sanitary sewer overflows, and to mitigate any overflow events that do occur. In October 2022, The Water Resources Division commenced efforts to update the City’s Sanitary Sewer Master Plan and key proposed updates include a chain of communications for reporting sanitary sewer overflows, addition of pertinent sections of the City’s Municipal Code (SMCC 5.20, 7.04, 7.68) to establish legal authority for WDR compliance, response actions to overflow events, routine maintenance activities performed by the City, and updated historical information on overflow events in the City.

The updated SSMP must be recertified by City Council prior to it being submitted to the California State Water Resources Control Board in May 2023.

Environmental Review
Updating the City’s Sewer System Management Plan is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15308 (Class 8 - Actions for Protection of the Environment) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15308 exempts actions taken by regulatory agencies for protection of the environment. The SSMP establishes the administrative elements and guidelines to prevent and mitigate sewer overflow events in an effort to protect the environment.

Introduction
The California State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) promulgated a waste discharge requirement (“WDR”) permit on May 2, 2006 to regulate sanitary sewer systems. This permit is known as SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems. On July 30, 2013, Attachment A to the Order was promulgated and became effective on September 9, 2013 and is known as Attachment A, SWRCB Order No. WQO 2013-0058-EXEC, amending the Monitoring and Reporting Program for Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems (together these documents constitute the “SSS WDR”). Recently, a reissuance of the General Order occurred to update the 16-year-old Order. Order 2022-0103-DWQ will be in effect as of June 5, 2023. This Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) is intended to update the City’s existing SSMP, in continued compliance with the WDR.

System Overview
The City of Santa Monica, Department of Public Works – Water Resources Division (WRD) provides wastewater collection services over 8.25 square miles in area and servces a resident population of approximately 91,105 (2021). In addition to collecting sewage from parcels within its corporate boundaries, the WRD also collects pass-through flow from the City of Los Angeles, via the Coastal Interceptor System (CIS) and unmetered locations, and conveys (via pumps and/or gravity collection) the sewage to the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant for treatment and disposal.

The WRD is responsible for wastewater collection and pumping in the City, which consists of approximately 154 miles of sewer pipe ranging in diameter from 6-inches to 72-inches, over 2,800 maintenance manholes, two flow-monitoring and sampling stations, and the Moss Avenue Pumping Station (MAPS) that has a pump capacity of 26- million gallons per day (mgd). Sewage also enters Santa Monica from the City of Los Angeles through one metered location and from three unmetered locations and leaves Santa Monica for treatment at the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant through one metered and six unmetered locations. The City of Santa Monica’s 72-inch CIS connection to the City of Los Angeles was designed for the development sunset year of 2090 and has a capacity of approximately 52 mgd. The CIS is owned and maintained by the City of Los Angeles. Presently, the maximum peak instantaneous flow approaches 32.67 mgd and the annual daily averages flow is approximately 14.54 mgd. This flow rate includes all dry weather runoff diversions into the sanitary sewer systems. Long-term build out (e.g., 2020 Regional Housing Needs Assessment) and populaion density increases is evaluated through the City’s WAter and Wastewater Master Plans that is updated every four to five years. Asthe City recognizes the importance of planning for all aspects of future development, water and sewer capacity and demand forecasts are reviewed regularly and updated as needed to keep abreast of changing conditions.

The WRD is also responsible for all water-related assets that support the safe treatment and distribution of potable and recycle water within the City, as well as the collection and conveyance of all sanitary and

3.2 Agreement with Satellite Agency
The City of Santa Monica does not have a large enough treatment plant to treat all of the wastewater generated in the city. For this reason, there is an agreement with the City of Los Angeles to accept wastewater from Santa Monica. The City of Los Angeles charges Santa Monica based on the amount and strength of flow that is sent to the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant for final treatment and disposal. These measurements are taken at two outfalls just at the entrance of Santa Monica city limits and right before flow leaves the city.

The City of Los Angeles has tributary areas that combine with sewage from the City of Santa Monica.

These tributaries feed into six different locations around Santa Monica that eventually pass through back into the LA sewer system. The largest amount of pass through comes via the Coastal Interceptor System (CIS) which transports flow from areas upstream of Santa Monica’s service area.

WRD SSMP Operations and Maintenance Program Element 4 Page 4-1 ELEMENT 4 - OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (O & M) PROGRAM
SWRCB Requirement:

The SSMP must include those elements listed below that are appropriate and applicable to the Enrollee’s system:
a. Maintain an up-to-date map of the sanitary sewer system, showing all gravity line segments and manholes, pumping facilities, pressure pipes and valves, and applicable storm water conveyance facilities;
b. Describe routine preventive operation and maintenance activities by staff and contractors; including a system for scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning of the sanitary sewer system with more frequent cleaning and maintenance targeted at known problem areas. The Preventative Maintenance (PM) program should have a system to document scheduled and conducted activities, such as work orders;
c. Develop rehabilitation and replacement plan to identify and prioritize system deficiencies and implement short-term and long-term rehabilitation actions to address each deficiency. The program should include regular visual and TV inspections of manholes and sewer pipes, and a system for ranking the condition of sewer pipes and scheduling rehabilitation. Rehabilitation and replacement should focus on sewer pipes that are at risk of collapse or prone to more frequent blockages due to pipe defects. Finally, the rehabilitation and replacement plan should include a capital improvement plan that addresses proper management and protection of the infrastructure assets. The plan shall include a time schedule for implementing the short- and long-term plans plus a schedule for developing the funds needed for the capital improvement plan;
d. Provide training on a regular basis for staff in sanitary sewer system operations, maintenance, and require contractors to be appropriately trained; and e. Provide equipment and replacement part inventories, including identification of critical replacement parts.

4.1 Collection System Maps
The WRD ESRI-GIS database was initially based upon as-built record drawings and was limited to horizontal data. As time progressed, more field information (e.g., elevation and pipe slope) is added to the GIS database. Linear assets older than 75 years usually have limited construction data and the record as-built drawings associated with the assets provide the best engineering data. As the WRD’s asset management plan grows, more information is incorporated including vertical pipe invert and soffit elevations, manhole rim elevations and pipe segment slopes. The database is continuously growing and is also tied to the WRD’s maintenance management system.

5.C.c
Packet Pg. 187 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan) SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN 2023
WRD SSMP Operations and Maintenance Program Element 4 Page 4-2 The City also has limited copies of its older (1960) sewer atlas, which provides some additional data, and can be used to find appropriate as-built drawings. The last update of the sewer atlas occurred in 2000, at which time the City switched to the current GIS system.

As-built drawings are on file at the City’s Department of Public Works – Engineering Division. The Engineering Division is also responsible for the construction of the collection system assets. The City is in the process of incorporating these drawings into the GIS format as funding and resources allows.

Collections system maps are revised as necessary when discrepancies are discovered in the field.

Wastewater crew relay the changes to the supervisor who then passes the information to the Engineering division for revision in the GIS system. Field crews are equipped with hard copies of the maps, tablets for digital access, and access to the Hansen database for work order observations.

4.2 Preventative Maintenance
The elements of the City’s sewer system operation and maintenance (O&M) program include:
x Preventative and corrective maintenance;
x Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) inspections in order to evaluate the condition of the gravity sewers;
x Routine sewer jetting to maintain gravity flow and minimize SSOs; x Replacement and repair of sewers that are in poor condition.

4.2.1 Computer Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
To plan and track O&M activities, the City utilizes a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). The CMMS (Hansen) is capable of tracking equipment and staff by work orders, assisting in the planning and prioritizing of O &M work based on past activity, and maintaining accurate work order and other maintenance documentation used in collection system analysis and reporting. The CMMS is also GIS compatible. The CMMS is the central location for asset history, work orders, and labor hours. The WRD is currently replacing the Hansen CMMS system with a new, modern system provided by MentorAPM that would increase functionality, including tracking vertical assets, asset age, performance, and criticality impacts.

4.2.2 Gravity Sewers
The Wastewater team clean all City-owned sewer pipes between 4-72 inches in diameter. The schedule of cleaning can be every 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, yearly, and every 3-5 years, depending on the condition of the line, operating history, and service area characteristics. The priority is to clean those lines that have a history of blockage or SSOs. Portions of the collection system with repeated SSOs are evaluated for immediate replacement or prioritization as part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), depending on the specific conditions present in the line.

Packet Pg. 188 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan) SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN 2023
WRD SSMP Operations and Maintenance Program Element 4 Page 4-3 The Wastewater team utilizes a hydro jetting truck and combo unit trucks to flush and jet sewer lines.

One complete video-capable truck is available for immediate deployment 24 hours per day, and routine main jetting is conducted 5 days a week.

High frequency cleaning occurs in those areas that are known to have many food service establishments (FSEs) that generate FOG and those areas that are known to suffer from persistent root intrusion. These areas are maintained every 2-4 months. Lines that are larger than 15 inches are scheduled to be cleaned at least biennially.

Historical line cleaning results are provided in Table 4-1. Line connections and manholes are inspected at the time of cleaning. Any issues noted during the inspection are scheduled for repair. Either the City or a hired contractor conducts any repairs.

4.2.3 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Inspections
The City conducts system-wide routine preventative maintenance activities, including closed circuit television (CCTV) reconnaissance of its collection system, utilizing experienced dedicated O &M staff to ensure efficient and reliable operation of the various components of the sewer system.

One complete video-capable truck is available for immediate deployment 24 hours per day, and routine main jetting is conducted 5 days a week. The priority is to clean those lines that have a history of blockage or SSOs. Portions of the collection system with repeated SSOs are evaluated for immediate replacement or prioritization as part of the City’s CIP, depending on the specific conditions present.

Presently, Granite Net will be the new provider for the City’s CCTV program. The City anticipates being able to CCTV every line in the service area within 3-5 years.

4.3 Rehabilitation and Replacement Program
The City has a long-term program to rehabilitate and replace lines in the system that may be deficient.

The program has prioritized portions of the sewer system that have persistent issues, older line segments, and upsizing lines that are 6 inches. This work is included in the City’s CIP process. CIPs are approved biannually. On average, the City replaces 1-2 miles of sewer pipes each year.

4.4 Training
The City encourages, and requires staff, to obtain professional certifications or licenses (e.g., California Water Environment Association). WRD staff receives training on a regular basis in sewer system O&M developments and techniques, and in work safety topics. In addition, many WRD staff maintains various professional certifications through related continuing education or professional participation credits.

Confined space training

4.5 Equipment and Replacement Parts
Critical equipment and replacement part inventories are maintained at the City Maintenance Yard (Yards) Complex, located at 2500 Michigan Avenue in Santa Monica. Mechanical equipment and WRD trucks and support vehicles are fueled, serviced and repaired at the Yards, and many of the administrative functions related to the collection system are also housed in this central location.

Specifically, PVC SDR-26 is the type called out for usage in the City. For any pipe lining, cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) is required.

5.1.4 Private Sewer Systems and Laterals
All private sewer systems and private sewer laterals are required to be design, installed, inspected and accepted per the Green Book and the City Adaptations to the Green Book. Private sewer laterals must also conform to the requirements of the California Plumbing Code.

5.2 Inspection and Testing Criteria
Wastewater construction inspection and testing criteria is based on the Green Book. Standards and specifications are reviewed before any job is put out to bid. Any additional technical requirements will be called out and added to any specific construction project. This criteria applies to new and rehabilitated gravity sewers and new and rehabilitated manholes.

These standards, which are based on Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, are updated as required by CSMWRD staff and are made available to the public by the Civil Engineering Division upon request so that all engineering contractors and civil engineers are aware of the CSMWRD’s standards for wastewater construction. Presently, City wastewater projects are designed by the Civil Engineering Division within the City, and each project’s contract documents contain all wastewater specification standards, construction notes and details for the project. They are modified to be site-specific on a project-by-project basis. Contract documents are prepared in-house using consultant civil engineers for the plans and technical specifications.

Typically, because of historic development within the City, there are unique construction challenges presented by interfering utilities and confined rights-of-way, which require site or project specific modifications to existing standards. In those cases, the City usually depends upon construction applicants’ private engineers to modify or design a new standard and will review and approve it for site-specific construction.

CSMWRD SSMP Overflow Emergency Response Plan Element 6 Page 6-1 Element 6 Spill Emergency Response Plan
SWRCB Requirements:
a. Each Enrollee shall develop and implement an Spill Emergency Response Plan (SERP) that identifies measures to protect public health and the environment. At a minimum, this plan must include the following:
b. Proper notification procedures so that the primary responders and regulatory agencies are informed of all SSOs in a timely manner;
c. A program to ensure an appropriate response to all overflows; d. Procedures to ensure prompt notification to appropriate regulatory agencies and other potentially affected entities (e.g., health agencies, Regional Water Boards, water suppliers, etc.) of all SSOs that potentially affect public health or reach the waters of the State in accordance with the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP). All SSOs shall be reported in accordance with this MRP, the California Water Code, other State Law, and other applicable Regional Water Board WDRs or NPDES permit requirements. The SSMP should identify the officials who will receive immediate notification;
e. Procedures to ensure that appropriate staff and contractor personnel are aware of and follow the Emergency Response Plan and are appropriately trained;
f. Procedures to address emergency operations, such as traffic and crowd control and other necessary response activities; and
g. A program to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to contain and prevent the discharge of untreated and partially treated wastewater to waters of the United States and to minimize or correct any adverse impact on the environment resulting from the SSOs, including such accelerated or additional monitoring as may be necessary to determine the nature and impact of the discharge.

6.1 Purpose
The City’s SERP serves as a guide for efficiently and appropriately responding to sewer spills. The SERP has directions for staff to follow regarding response, cleanup, and reporting of any sewer spills in the City’s service area.

6.2 Sanitary Sewer Overflow Emergency Response Plan
An SSO is any overflow, spill, release, discharge, or uncontrolled diversion of untreated or partially treated wastewater from a sanitary sewer. SSOs may contain high levels of suspended solids, pathogenic organisms, toxic pollutants, nutrients and oil and grease and can adversely impact human health and the environment. In order to minimize the potential for health and environmental impacts, the City has developed the following plan and standard operation procedure (SOP) for responding to all SSOs.

CSMWRD SSMP Overflow Emergency Response Plan Element 6 Page 6-2 SSO Emergency Response Plan:

City water resources and inspection staff have been trained to respond promptly upon receiving notification of an uncontrolled sewage discharge. An SSO can originate from residential structures, commercial facilities, or City related devices, (e.g., broken sewer lines, and/ or manhole covers). Time is of the essence in responding to SSO incidents to control and reduce the potential for impact to the storm drain system and waters of the State.

The SSO plan involves two basic steps.

Step# 1- Upon notification, City Wastewater staff (both Operations and Water Resources Protection Program (WRPP) inspector) responds and identifies the location of the overflow and its characteristics (i.e., apparent source, volume released, extent, and whether it is on private property etc.). They also determine the potential cause of the SSO and the responsible party. This information is recorded on the SSO Response Form. To ensure containment, CSM Wastewater Staff locate the nearest down gradient (down slope) storm drain and determine if the release has, or will, reach this drain. Based on site conditions, the onsite incident manager decides if immediate action or additional staff or equipment is needed to prevent the release from reaching this drain. If the SSO occurred because of a blockage at a main City sewer line, the onsite incident manager will direct CSM Wastewater Staff to immediately contain the discharge by completely berming the storm drain inlet and to clear the blockage. Once the nature and extent of the discharge are known, staff will begin immediate cleanup of discharges caused by a city-owned pipeline; typically by vacuuming the discharge for lawful disposal.

Staff also ensures the release area (all public areas) are cleaned and disinfected after the normal sewer flow is restored and the blockage relieved. If the release has reached the storm drain system, staff will routinely check a couple of storm drain catch basins downstream from the contaminated catch basin to verify how far the release has traveled down the storm drain line.

Depending on the severity of the release, samples may be required to be taken from those catch basins and analyzed for pathogenic organisms. Sampling, if any, conforms to steps taken in the City’s Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP).

If a release from a City-owned main has visibly impacted private property, the onsite staff will photo document all such impacts identified at the time of the release response. Staff also documents the contact information of the property owner and any notes regarding the potential impact in their field notebook. Questions regarding repair costs are directed to the CSM Office of Risk Management at (310) 458-8910.

CSMWRD SSMP Overflow Emergency Response Plan Element 6 Page 6-3 them to immediately contact a private plumber to relieve the sewer blockage. In instances where there is no effective response from the property owner or manager to abate the SSO within a reasonable time frame (less than an hour), or at the discretion of the onsite incident manger or the WRPP Inspector, the water service may be temporarily turned off at the subject property after proper notifications are made by calling the CSM Water Division staff and requesting a temporary water service disruption.

Before attempting to turn off the water service, CSM Wastewater Staff will try to contact the property owner or manager. Wastewater Operations Staff will make notification if a WRPP Inspector is unavailable (i.e., after hours, weekends). Notification is made verbally and by posting a large placard in a common area and a door hanger on each unit or residence/ business. Each placard and door hanger has contact information for the CSM and the Los Angeles County DHS Public Health. If possible, door hanger notifications are placed on each tenant’s door depending on access.

Note: The duration, and therefore volume, of the SSO discharge is estimated from when the SSO is first reported to the City, NOT when staff arrives to the site. Staff are required to accurately estimate the volume of the discharge and note how the estimate was derived in their field book.

Photographs of the SSO site are also included in the incident file when damage to private property is known to have occurred.

Other agency contact/reporting include:
- Office of Emergency Services (OES) at (800) 852-7550 to obtain an OES Control#. After business hours including weekends, CSM Wastewater staff makes the notification to OES and provides WRPP inspection staff with the OES Control #.

For logistics planning, staff has determined it typically takes 45-60 minutes for a private plumber to arrive and/ or relieve the sewer blockage on private property. Prior to the arrival of the plumber if the water is not shut down, City staff ensure that the property owner makes all efforts to contain sewer discharges on their property and not allow any discharges onto the public right-of-way.

Any discharge that reaches the public right-of-way will be contained by City staff.

Wastewater Staff monitor the SSO site continuously to make sure the plumbing problem is corrected and sewage at the site has been cleaned up and the release area is disinfected.

Wastewater Operations Staff will disinfect the impacted street and sidewalk (public areas) immediately in contact with the release using chlorine/water solution. Large discharges from private property requiring clean-up will be billed to the property owner for cost recovery of labor and equipment use. Once the sewer blockage is cleared, and the contaminated area cleaned and disinfected, the property owner/manager may call and request the Water Division to turn the water service back on, if needed.

If there is an extensive damage to privately owned properties because of an overflow and release of sewage due to a SSO, depending on the cause, staff will call or advise the property owner to

Packet Pg. 195 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan) SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN 2023
CSMWRD SSMP Overflow Emergency Response Plan Element 6 Page 6-4 directly contact LA County Dept. of Health Services (DHS) at 310-665-8484 to evaluate the health hazard and recommend detailed procedures for proper clean-up. Staff will also contact the CSM Office of Risk Management to evaluate any damages if the SSO is caused by blockages or flow conditions within the publicly owned portion of a sanitary sewer system.

It is important to remember that spills into the City storm drain system from SSO’s typically are captured by one of the City diversion BMP projects such as SMURFF, Wilshire Blvd., Montana Ave., Rose Ave., Ashland Ave., Sunset-Canyon and Centinela-Pearl projects and therefore normally do not reach Santa Monica Bay as long as those diversion projects are operational at the time of the incident. Staff will confirm the operational status of the subject BMP project as part of the SSO response procedures.

Once the SSO response incident is concluded, WRPP Inspection Staff forward the required data to the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) by visiting the agency database at:
http://ciwqs.waterboards.ca.gov and entering on-line the requested information about the SSO.

WRPP Inspection Staff also retain a copy of all completed reports about an SSO incident in a folder designated for SSO records.

SSO Equipment and Training
Typical equipment required for response to an SSO, depending on location and size of the release, includes, but is not limited to, personal protective gear, reporting forms, traffic control devices such as cones or barricades, absorbent materials, sampling equipment, disinfectant solutions, pipe snake, vacuum trucks, backhoe, replacement pipe, and street sweepers.

The City conducts regular training to familiarize staff with health and safety issues, standard response procedures, and regulatory and technological developments. The City also encourages staff to recommend more efficient ways of completing work tasks based on staff field experience.

Moss Avenue Pump Station (MAPS) Emergency Response
CSM staff monitors MAPS through SCADA alarm system during and after hours. Upon discovery or notification of an SSO at the facility, staff would respond to the MAPS to make necessary SSO assessment.

Staff would check the generator, wet well operation, pumps, and force mains. For SSOs that occur because of MAPS or force mains, notifications to proper regulatory agencies and response procedures apply that are discussed as part of this SOP.

Specific procedures include:

Wet Well
x Observe SCADA screen and PLC panel to confirm proper wet well level x If SCADA and PLC not operational, emergency notification to Plant Operator, Supervisor and Senior WRD staff and SCADA technician.
x Call emergency pump contractor for emergency pump/bypass equipment set-up at facility.

7.3 FOG Control Program
The City has determined that a FOG control program is necessary per SSMP requirements. There are approximately 474 food service facilities located within City limits and discharge to City sewers.

Operations and maintenance staff have also noted the tendency for grease buildup in specific sewer lines due to proximity to sources or hydraulic conditions. This section discusses measures the City takes to control FOG.

The City’s FOG control program consists of focused cleaning and maintenance as well as source control.

The following subsections discuss identification and cleaning of grease-prone areas, legal authority to prohibit grease discharge or require a grease removal device, facility inspection, and public outreach.

Water Resources Protection Program and Source Control
The City of Santa Monica Water Resources Protection Program (WRPP) facilitates the FOG Source Control Program and ensures compliance with federal, state, and local regulations for wastewater pretreatment standards prior to discharge into the City’s wastewater collection system. WRPP Staff oversees all industrial and business customers that have the potential to adversely affect the CSM wastewater system by the issuance of Industrial Wastewater permits every year, inspections, and applicable unannounced sampling events for approximately 870 businesses requiring pre-treatment and/or regular monitoring for toxic substances, such as inorganic toxic substances, such as acids &

5.C.c

WRD SSMP Fats, Oils, And Grease (FOG) Control Program Element 7 Page 7-3 metals, fats from grease and oil producing food-related operations, and other oil and grease producing operations, such as automotive uses, prior to connection and discharge to the wastewater system. For FOG control, there are 474 permittees subject to inspection. For instances of non-compliance with sewer limitations and prohibited discharge standards as specified in the Santa Monica Municipal Code, the WRPP relies on various escalating enforcement actions such as the issuance of Notices of Correction (NOC), Notices of Violation (NOV), administrative citations, and referral to the City Attorney’s office for prosecution. Every permittee inspection is stored in a Hansen 8 computer database as well as a hard copy file. WRPP is also in constant contact with CSM Wastewater staff about any significant findings in the collections system. The WRPP also advises residential customers through outreach information and in tandem with the City’s Household Hazardous Waste Program, the proper disposal methods for toxic materials (such as mercury), waste cooking oil, and other household hazardous waste. In addition, the WRPP has distributed education material on the importance of preventing FOG from entering the sanitary sewer system and brochures on roots and how they adversely affect the wastewater system to the residents of Santa Monica. This information is also distributed to residents at the City of Santa Monica Festival, which is held yearly.

The City also requires the installation of pretreatment devices such as clarifier and grease interceptors for new and remodeled facilities and requires pretreatment devices to be installed in other older facilities that have caused SSOs.

The City also has an annual inspection and random sampling program and keeps records of all permits with proof of regular maintenance of all pretreatment devices by the permit holder.

Wastewater Operations Program
The Wastewater Operations Staff is responsible for the cleaning, monitoring and maintenance of the City’s wastewater collection system. Maintenance consists of four (4) full-time crews, five to six days a week jetting and cleaning the local collection system and the CIS. Wastewater Operations also maintains the City’s Moss Avenue Pumping Station (MAPS), end of line diversions into the sewer system.

The City completed replacing and/or lining 80% of its sewer mains and manholes in 2002. Areas of concern based previous experience are tracked on the City GIS system and are cleaned more frequently.

Together with the CSM Civil Engineering & Architecture Division problem-prone pipelines having both structural and flow capacity issues are prioritized for replacement to minimize the potential for serious SSO incidents.

7.4 GWRD Requirements Response
Requirement (a): An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of FOG.

Response: The City regulates FOG through WRPP’s Source Control Program and with regular, proactive sewer cleaning. Areas that have a high density of FSEs tend to have higher cleaning frequencies. FSEs are also inspected routinely by WRPP. Finally, public outreach regarding FOG issues is provided for businesses as well as the general public.

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.

Response: There are grease disposal sites available in Los Angeles County that accept spent grease from nearby commercial disposal companies. The City provides FSEs with a vendor list of California Registered Inedible Kitchen Grease Commercial Transporters. No vendor is recommended or preferred by the City.

Requirement (c):The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent SSOs and blockages caused by FOG
Response: Santa Monica Municipal Code provides the legal basis for the City’s Source and FOG control program. This is noted in Element 3. More specifically, SMMC 5.20.110 provides requirements for grease disposal and FSE BMPs. SMMC 5.20.080 provides requirements for grease interceptor installation.

Requirement (d): Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors), design standards for the removal devices, maintenance requirements, BMP requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements.

Response: The City’s WRPP team meets this requirement as described in Requirement (c). Also, WRPP observes FSE BMPs and record keeping during routine inspections.

Requirement (e): Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and whether the Enrollee has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the FOG ordinance.

Response: WRPP conducts regular inspections of FSEs and is granted authority to inspect and enforce via SMMC 5.20.

Requirement (f): An identification of sanitary sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages and establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section Response: The City’s Wastewater team prioritizes areas of high FSE concentration and areas where there may be high FOG discharger for more frequent cleaning of connected sewer lines. Wastewater is flexible and will tend to any area that may have become problematic.

Requirement (g): Development and implementation of source control measures for all sources of FOG discharged to the sanitary sewer system for each section identified in (f) above.

Response: Similar to the response to (f), WRPP supports the Wastewater team and follows up on those FSEs that are discharging significant amount of FOG.

Element 8 –Capacity Assurance Plan
SWRCB Requirements:

The Enrollee shall prepare and implement a capital improvement plan (CIP) that will provide hydraulic capacity of key sanitary sewer system elements for dry weather peak flow conditions, as well as the appropriate design storm or wet weather event. At a minimum, the plan must include:
a) Evaluation: Actions needed to evaluate those portions of the sanitary sewer system that are experiencing or contributing to an SSO discharge caused by hydraulic deficiency. The evaluation must provide estimates of peak flows (including flows from SSOs that escape from the system) associated with conditions similar to those causing overflow events, estimates of the capacity of key system components, hydraulic deficiencies (including components of the system with limiting capacity) and the major sources that contribute to the peak flows associated with overflow events;
b) Design Criteria: Where design criteria do not exist or are deficient, undertake the evaluation identified in “a” above to establish appropriate design criteria; and c) Capacity Enhancement Measures: The steps needed to establish a short- and long-term capital improvement plan (CIP) to address identified hydraulic deficiencies including prioritization, alternatives analysis, and schedules. The CIP may include increases in pipe size, I/I reduction programs, increases and redundancy in pumping capacity, and storage facilities. The CIP shall include an implementation schedule and shall identify sources of funding. d) Schedule: The Enrollee shall develop a schedule of completion dates for all portions of the capital improvement program developed in (a-c) above. This schedule shall be reviewed and updated consistent with the SSMP review and update requirements as described in Section D.

14. 8.1.1 System Capacity Evaluation
Evaluation of a sanitary sewer collection system during dry and wet weather conditions involves evaluation of both capacity and general operational issues. The capacity of the system is primarily controlled by population and significant commercial/industrial dischargers. Operational issues that may lead to inadequate level of service system performance include roots, fats, oils and grease. The hydraulic model is an important utility management tool to assist in identifying locations of capacity constraints or velocity concerns that may exist in the existing system or are projected to arise under future dry or weather flows.

Depth of flow in relation to pipe diameter, or depth-to-diameter (d/D) ratio is an element of the City’s existing design criteria and is used herein to identify potential capacity problems within the system, which may result in sewer overflows. A wet weather assessment of the sanitary sewer system is focused on the elimination of wet weather overflows for a particular design storm event. Design storms are primarily defined by their duration and the return period. Duration is the amount of time over which a rain event occurs, where the return period is a measurement of the likelihood a particular event will

Packet Pg. 204 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan) SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN 2023
WRD SSMP Capacity Assurance Plan Element 8 Page 8-2
occur. For example, a 5-year storm will theoretically occur once every 5 years. Since the selection of the design storm can have a significant impact on determining the adequacy of system capacity, this design criteria driven level of service element of the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan had careful consideration in this planning effort. Based on discussions with City staff, the design storm selected to be incorporated in the hydraulic model simulation is a 10-year 24-hour event. This design criterion is also used by City of Los Angeles, the regional wastewater conveyance and treatment provider, in the assessment of its sewer system hydraulic capacity analysis programs to contain peak wet weather flows in the sewer design to avoid SSOs.

8.1.2 Existing Conditions Collection System Evaluation
The purpose of a sanitary sewer system is to collect sewer flow from various origins in the City and convey these flows to a designated point of discharge. The maximum and minimum flow rates in any given day can vary, but generally follow some typical daily diurnal patterns for residential and nonresidential customers. The sanitary sewer system should be designed to carry the maximum rate within an acceptable range of velocity without the sewer system backing up during these peak daily flows. In contrast, the sewer system should also have adequate flows and velocity to convey the minimum flow without deposition of suspended solids during the minimum daily time periods, which is typically in the middle of the night. The City’s hydraulic model was developed to effectively simulate the system’s hydraulic behavior at specific time period and analyze its performance under various flow conditions.

The InfoSewer model uses steady-state simulations in its hydraulic analysis calculations for the analysis of utility sewer systems. For a steady-state analysis, all flows are assumed to accumulate in the system and discharge only at the outlets. This means that even if a pipe has a flow beyond its maximum capacity, the flow is still carried downstream including through pumps and force mains so that full/maximum flow conditions are carried through to all affected downstream facilities. The transition between gravity flow and pressurized flow is also ensured by assuming that all flows are transported through each force main, subject to the upstream hydraulic control. The hydraulic evaluation of the City’s existing collection system was performed using the collection system model developed as described earlier and is explained in this section.

The existing system evaluation applies current sewage flows to applicable spatial locations in the system and incorporates current infrastructure configurations and applicable operational strategies, typically associated with pump stations, force mains and diversion structures. A sanitary sewer collection system has basically two main functions: to convey the designed peak discharge and to transport solids so that deposits are kept to a minimum. It is imperative; therefore, that the sanitary sewer has adequate capacity for the peak flow and that it functions at minimum flows without excessive maintenance and odor generation. The existing system scenario takes into consideration the current flows in the existing infrastructure, both under dry and wet weather conditions. The existing scenario incorporates all facilities in the existing sanitary sewer system including gravity mains 10-inch in diameter and greater (and all 8-inch mains directly upstream from 10-inch mains), maintenance holes, lift stations, pumps, force mains, and the outfall station located at SM-1. For the dry weather scenario, sewer flows are loaded to each node in the system based on the summation of account-level tributary sewer flows, as

5.C.c
Packet Pg. 205 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan) SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN 2023
WRD SSMP Capacity Assurance Plan Element 8 Page 8-3
derived from water consumption data. To simulate wet weather conditions stemming from infiltration and inflow, a peaking factor (PF) was applied to the dry weather loads at all nodes in the sewer system network. This wet weather PF is calculated as the ratio between the average day flows and the flows that occur on the day out of the year when the highest flows are recorded during a particular wet weather event.

An understanding of the hydraulic condition of the existing system is essential to identify existing system related capacity limitations and to help prioritize recommended system improvements resulting from the ultimate system capacity analysis. The InfoSewer hydraulic model developed as a part of the Sewer Master Plan was used to perform the capacity analysis of the existing collection system. The capacity analysis was performed for various existing flow scenarios including existing average, peak dry weather, and peak wet weather flow scenarios. Improvements are identified based on the evaluation of the existing system during the peak hours of wet weather conditions. The capacity analysis performed herein is consistent with generally accepted methods and is based on the consideration of the depth of flow with respect to the diameter of the pipe. A capacity limited section along a pipeline is identified as a potential capacity related improvement project if the depth to diameter (d/D) ratio exceeds the criteria established to define system performance during the designated wet weather flow scenario conditions. The hydraulic model constructed for this study was used to evaluate performance of the collection system using the criteria for d/D ratio and velocity for gravity pipes, and surcharge depth for maintenance holes. Under existing dry and wet weather flow conditions, a large majority of the City’s sewer collection system pipelines have excess or reserve capacity. The existing hydraulic modeling simulation identified approximately 1 percent of the total sanitary sewer pipeline system had d/D ratios greater than the 0.75 criteria. This finding indicates the City’s sewer system has available capacity in much of the local sewer system.

8.1.3 Background of InfoSewer Software Modeling
The City’s sanitary sewer collection system was modeled using the InfoSewer Version 7.6 software by Innovyze. The InfoSewer software can simulate all aspects of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system through a hydraulic model network. A hydraulic model network is a mathematical representation of the collection system represented by a series of nodes and links. Nodes represent maintenance holes, storage basins, wet wells, junction boxes, and outfalls. Links, as the name implies, represent any hydraulic structure connecting two nodes. Sanitary sewer pipelines, force mains, lift stations, weirs, and gates are all represented by links in this model. During the conduct of hydraulic simulations, the model considers the available storage at these hydraulic elements (through filling and draining) and can simulate unsteady state flow conditions under both open channel and surcharged conditions for varying time periods. Additionally, this model allows simulation of single path and multiple path flow networks, backwater curves, flow reversals, pumps, weirs, siphons, gates, orifices, parallel pipes, and other diversion structures necessary to simulate a sanitary sewer system, such as the City's.

8.2 Design Criteria
The City’s wastewater construction standards are maintained by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. These standards are updated as required by City staff and are made available to the public by the Civil Engineering Division upon request so that all engineering contractors and civil engineers are aware of the City’s standards for wastewater construction. Presently, public wastewater projects are designed by the Civil Engineering Division and each project’s contract documents contain all wastewater specification standards, construction notes and details for the project. They are modified to be site-specific on a project-by-project basis. Contract documents are prepared in-house using consultant civil engineers for the plans and technical specifications. Specifications are Construction Standards Institute (CSI) based and are modified as applicable by the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (GREENBOOK), latest edition, which is jointly produced by representatives of the American Public Works Association (APWA), the Associated General Contractors of California, the Engineering Contractors Association, the Southern California Contractors Association and BNi Publications, Inc.

8.3 Capital Improvement Goals and Schedules
As part of the City’s collection system CIP, land use and flow modeling are utilized to develop and prioritize five-year and 30-year CIP goals and schedules for consideration and approval by the City Council. The approved CIP projects are implemented as funds become available through a combination of Counciladopted incremental development financing (for increases in land use), Council-approved rate increases (for rate payers), and/or Council-approved increased Wastewater Capital Facility Fees.

The City of Santa Monica pays the City of Los Angeles an Amalgamated Sewerage System Facilities Charge (ASSFC) for upward changes in land use by building permit. Until July 2008, Santa Monica paid Los Angeles by utilizing the Santa Monica Wastewater Capital Facilities Fee collected at the time of permit issuance.

This has left Santa Monica’s CIP program at the same monetary level and funded through a combination of rates collected from rate payers and wastewater capital facility fee at building permit issuance or change of land use.

Currently, the City is on a 100-year sewer line replacement schedule and presently replaces 1 to 2 miles of sewer per year.

8.3.1 CIP Prioritization Criteria
In addition to the individual prioritization of capacity-related projects, other key factors have been integrated in the overall prioritization process. While some of these factors may be somewhat external to the performance of the City’s Wastewater Enterprise, they will influence the timing and potential cost aspects of the program’s implementation and have an influence on the level of community disruption and overall quality of life in Santa Monica. These implementation elements include spatial demand triggers that link to CIP requirements and associated development projects, inclusion of a broader infrastructure management perspective by coordinating the CIP with other projects (e. g., underground utility and paving projects) to minimize community disruption, consideration for cost segregation so that growth pays an

WRD SSMP Monitoring, Measurement, and Program Modifications Element 9 Page 9-1 Element 9 – Monitoring, Measurement, and Program Modifications SWRCB Waste Discharge Requirement:

The Enrollee shall:
a. Maintain relevant information that can be used to establish and prioritize appropriate SSMP activities;
b. Monitor the implementation and, where appropriate, measure the effectiveness of each element of the SSMP;
c. Assess the success of the PM program;
d. Update program elements, as appropriate, based on monitoring or performance evaluations; and
e. Identify and illustrate SSO trends, including: frequency, location, and volume.

9.1 Performance Measures
Annual performance indicators that the City will use to measure the health of the wastewater collection system and the effectiveness of the SSMP are:
x SSOs: Total number, SSO rate, and number for each cause (e.g., roots, grease or FOG-related blockage, debris, line failure, capacity deficiency, storm flow exceeding design, lift station failure, or other);
x Total volume of SSOs and volume contained and returned to the system; x Total volume and percentage of SSO volume that reached surface water; and x Footage of main lines and percentage of system cleaned annually.

9.2 Monitoring and Measurement
Over the past three years the City’s commitment to asset management and preventative O & M activities has resulted in fewer FOG related SSO incidents. The City regularly tracks and monitors the general effectiveness of preventative maintenance measures through work orders/service requests, number and location of reportable SSO reports, and required annual regulatory reports. Information collected includes cause and location of stoppages; number, cause, location, and volume of SSOs; stoppage response time; number and reason for customer complaints; and type of debris found. The City has selected these certain, specific parameters because they can be documented and compared on an annual basis in a simple format. In addition, experience has shown that these parameters are straightforward, quantitative, and are focused on results.

In addition to the City tracking and monitoring measures, all documented SSO events are reported through the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) database within the required timeframe.

Element 10 – SSMP Program Audit
SWRCB Waste Discharge Requirement:

As part of the SSMP, the Enrollee shall conduct periodic internal audits, appropriate to the size of the system and the number of SSOs. At a minimum, these audits must occur every two years and a report must be prepared and kept on file. This audit shall focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the SSMP and the Enrollee’s compliance with the SSMP requirements identified in this subsection (D.13), including identification of any deficiencies in the SSMP and steps to correct them.

10.1 SSMP Audits
Internal audits will be conducted by Wastewater Division staff with assistance from WRPP on a biannual (every 2 years) basis to determine the relevance and effectiveness of each element of the SSMP. In addition to reviewing each element of the SSMP, the audits will also include a review of schedule progress for measures implemented to correct any identified deficiencies from the prior version. Based on the findings of the audit process, the SSMP will be updated or modified accordingly. A copy of the audit report checklist and findings report will be retained in the file. The audit checklist was based on the City’s knowledge and size of its system, and the number of FOG related SSO’s. The Audit also incorporates the elements from example self-audits provided by the State Water Resources Control Boards Enforcement Division.

Element 11 – Communication Program
SWRCB Waste Discharge Requirement:

The Enrollee shall communicate on a regular basis with the public on the development, implementation, and performance of its SSMP. The communication system shall provide the public the opportunity to provide input to the Enrollee as the program is developed and implemented.

The Enrollee shall also create a plan of communication with systems that are tributary and/or satellite to the Enrollee’s sanitary sewer system.

11.1 Communication Program Discussion
The CSM maintains active public outreach and communication efforts with all its customers, the publicat-large and surrounding agencies to provide timely information on City projects, improvements, and emergency situations.

Communication outlets range from public meetings and hearings, representation at community groups, to time-critical posting of signage in emergency situations and updates, posting to the CSM public website (https://www.santamonica.gov/) and 24-hour telephone reporting systems. Also, part of the CSM website are links to agenda and minutes from City Council meetings. Additionally, newsletters and brochures are developed and distributed community-wide and staff regularly meets with other area agencies. Informational flyers are often included with customer bills to update the rate payers on system operations, proposed City projects and programs, and the City has public information staff and inter-governmental management staff to maintain routine contact with news and media outlets in a timely manner.

11.2 Communication with Satellite Wastewater Collection Systems The City of Santa Monica communicates regularly with the City of Los Angeles which accepts and treats flow from the City. The City of Santa Monica and other satellite agencies that have their flow treated by Los Angeles attend quarterly contract Cities meetings at which treatment plant, collections system and pretreatment issues are discussed and coordinated.

PROCEDURES
The section of the SSMP provides an overview and summary of the City’s emergency response documents and procedures for sewer overflows.

6.1 Overflow Emergency Response Plan Elements
Pursuant to current regulations, the City has developed and implemented a sanitary sewer overflow emergency response plan (SSO Plan). The SSO Plan identifies measures to protect public health and the environment in the event of an overflow and includes the following elements:
x Proper notification procedures so that the primary responders and regulatory agencies are informed of all SSOs in a timely manner;

Standard Operating Procedures
2 environment. In order to minimize the potential for health and environmental impacts, the City has developed the following plan and standard operation procedure (SOP) for responding to all SSOs.

SSO Emergency Response Plan:

City water resources and inspection staff have been trained to respond promptly upon receiving notification of an uncontrolled sewage discharge. An SSO can originate from residential structures, commercial facilities or City related devices, (e.g. broken sewer lines, and/ or manhole covers). Time is of the essence in responding to SSO incidents in order to control and reduce the potential for impact to the storm drain system and waters of the State.

The City SOP for responding to typical SSOs is available in hardcopy by request. The SSO plan involves two basic steps.

Step# 1- Upon notification, City Wastewater staff (both Operations and Water Resources Protection Program (WRPP) inspector) responds and identifies the location of the overflow and its characteristics (i.e. apparent source, volume released, extent, and whether or not it is on private property etc.). They also determine the potential cause of the SSO and the responsible party. This information is recorded on the SSO Response Form. To ensure containment, CSM Wastewater Staff locate the nearest down gradient (down slope) storm drain and determine if the release has, or will, reach this drain. Based on site conditions, the onsite incident manager decides if immediate action or additional staff or equipment is needed to prevent the release from reaching this drain. If the SSO occurred because of a blockage at a main City sewer line, the onsite incident manager will direct CSM Wastewater Staff to immediately contain the discharge by completely berming the storm drain inlet and to clear the blockage. Once the nature and extent of the discharge are known, staff will begin immediate cleanup of discharges caused by a City-owned pipeline; typically by vacuuming the discharge for lawful disposal.

The information collected on the SSO response form along with any other relevant information is reported by Wastewater Staff to all required outside agencies such as the Office of Emergency Services, LA County Dept. of Health Services, LA Regional Water Quality Control Board, and if applicable, LA Co. Flood Control and City of Los Angeles (see below for more detail).

Depending on the severity of the release, samples may be required to be taken from those catch basins and analyzed for pathogenic organisms. Sampling, if any, is implemented at the discretion

Public Works Department – Water Resources Division
Standard Operating Procedures
3 of the Water Resources Protection Program (WRPP) Inspector on site, and is based on site specific observations. If there is a question about the necessity for sampling, onsite staff confers with the WRPP supervisor on duty. All WRPP Inspector staff have basic sampling equipment available as part of their standard response equipment.

Step # 2- If the SSO occurred because of a blockage or other problems within a privately owned lateral line resulting in a discharge to the ground surface and /or into the public right-of-way such as City streets, alleys or side-walks, CSM Wastewater staff will contain and prevent further discharges into the Public Right- of- Way as described in Step #1, above. This is typically done by using a City vacuum truck. CSM staff then contact the subject property owner/manager and direct them to immediately contact a private plumber to relieve the sewer blockage. In instances where there is no effective response from the property owner or manager to abate the SSO within a reasonable time frame (less than an hour), or at the discretion of the onsite incident manger or the WRPP Inspector, the water service may be temporarily turned off at the subject property after proper notifications are made by calling the CSM Water Division staff and requesting a temporary water service disruption.

Before attempting to turn off the water service, CSM Wastewater Staff will try to contact the property owner or manager. Wastewater Operations Staff will make notification if a WRPP Inspector is unavailable (i.e. after hours, weekends). Notification is made verbally and by posting a large placard in a common area and a door hanger on each unit or residence/ business. Each placard and door hanger has contact information for the CSM and the Los Angeles County DHS Public Health. If possible, door hanger notifications are placed on each tenant’s door depending on access.

Photographs of the SSO site are also included in the incident file when damage to private property is known to have occurred.

Other agency contact/reporting contacts include:

4 - Office of Emergency Services (OES) at (800) 852-7550 to obtain an OES Control#. After business hours including weekends, CSM Wastewater staff makes the notification to OES and provides WRPP inspection staff with the OES Control #.
- LA County Dept. of Health Services at (213) 974-1234 and obtain a ticket #. After business hours including weekends, CSM Wastewater staff contact the agency and provide WRPP inspection staff with the incident ticket#.
- Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) “Public Health” at 310-665-8484 (8:00am-5:00pm) to respond if sewage has been released at private properties. After business hours including weekends Wastewater Staff call the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services at (213) 974-1234. Los Angeles County DHS will direct clean-up of private property outside surfaces i.e. grass, sidewalk, and patio areas. Wastewater staff does not perform clean up services on private property and therefore the clean-up is the responsibility of the property owner.
- LA Regional Water Quality Control Board at (213) 576-6657. The Contact is Augustine Anijielo who may also be e-mailed at [email protected]. After hours including weekends, Wastewater Staff will notify the agency.
-For sewer discharges into the County of Los Angles Flood Control storm drain system, call 24/7 dispatch – 1-800-675-4357. For Sewer discharges into the City of Los Angeles storm drain system, call 1-800-974-9794. WRPP inspection staff calls in incidents during regular work hours.

Wastewater Staff makes this call during after hours, including weekends. -For a significant spill (i.e. a spill that would bypass treatment and/or enter Santa Monica Bay) the Recreational Waters Program at (626) 430-5360 is also contacted. -For a significant spill into Ashland or Rose Diversions the contact is:
x Jared Deck at (562) 861-0316
x Mike Stephenson: (323) 776-7610
During weekends and after hours: Dispatch: (800) 675-4357 For logistics planning, staff has determined it typically takes 45-60 minutes for a private plumber to arrive and/ or relieve the sewer blockage on private property. Prior to the arrival of the plumber if the water is not shut down, City staff ensure that the property owner makes all efforts to contain sewer discharges on their property and not allow any discharges onto the

5 Public Right-of- Way. Any discharge that reaches the public right-of-way will be contained by City staff.

Wastewater Staff monitor the SSO site continuously to make sure the plumbing problem is corrected and sewage at the site has been cleaned up and the release area is disinfected.

Wastewater Operations Staff will disinfect the affected City street and sidewalk (public areas) immediately in contact with the release using chlorine/water solution. Large discharges from private property requiring clean-up will be billed to the property owner for cost recovery of labor and equipment use. Once the sewer blockage is cleared, and the contaminated area cleaned and disinfected, the property owner/manager may call and request the Water Division to turn the water service back on, if needed.

If there is an extensive damage to privately owned properties because of an overflow and release of sewage due to a SSO, depending on the cause, staff will call or advise the property owner to contact directly LA County Dept. of Health Services (DHS) at 310-665-8484 to evaluate the health hazard and recommend detailed procedures for proper clean-up. Staff will also contact the CSM Office of Risk Management to evaluate any damages if the SSO is caused by blockages or flow conditions within the publicly owned portion of a sanitary sewer system.

It is important to remember that discharges into the City storm drain system from SSO’s typically are captured by one of the City diversion BMP projects such as SMURFF, Wilshire Blvd., Montana Ave., Rose Ave., Ashland Ave., Sunset-Canyon and Centinela-Pearl projects and therefore normally do not reach Santa Monica Bay as long as those diversion projects are operational at the time of the incident. Staff will confirm the operational status of the subject BMP project as part of the SSO response procedures.

WRPP Inspection Staff also retain a copy of all completed reports about an SSO incident in a folder designated for SSO records.

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN
CSMWRD WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN Page 1
SECTION 1.0: GENERAL SAMPLING PROCEDURES
This section provides basic procedures for wastewater sampling used for assessing inspection, compliance, and for monitoring the quality of sewage flows in City sewer main lines or accidental discharges to the ocean or other surface water (i.e. SSOs) with a volume of 50,000 gallons or more. The procedures outlined here are based on the U.S. EPA sampling procedures titled: Operating Procedure Number SESDPROC-306-R2. It is important to remember that the monitoring at the City’s outfalls ONLY needs to be implemented if the City’s diversions are not working AND the discharge (single event) exceeds 50,000 gallons. If the diversions are working, all discharges will either be diverted to the Hyperion Treatment Plant or to the City’s SMURRF treatment plant. In these cases, there would be NO discharge to surface waters or the ocean. All water quality sampling will be conducted by Water Resources Protection Programs (WRPP) staff unless after hours or in the event of a City-wide emergency.

In the unlikely event that an SSO or sewer break occurs and the release volume to the storm drain is 50,000 gallons or more and none of the City’s diversion structures are operable, grab samples for water quality will be collected at the appropriate storm drain outfall to receiving waters (i.e. the ocean). There are seven drainage areas in the City that have outfalls at the beach, each with their own City or County operated diversion structure. These drainage area outfalls include:
x Montana Outfall
x Wilshire Outfall
x Santa Monica Pier Outfall,
x Pico-Kenter Outfall,
x Ashland Outfall,
x Rose Outfall, and
x Sunset Canyon Outfall
x Westside Water Quality BMP (filters flows).

A figure showing the location of outfalls within City boundaries is provided in the Element 13 Appendix.

Sampling of subject discharges at the Sunset Canyon or Rose Outfalls will be coordinated with LA County.

1.1 – Standard Sampling Equipment
At a minimum, the following list of equipment should be on hand for typical wastewater sampling activities. Because all sampling is site specific, it is important that knowledge of the site or file

5.C.c
Packet Pg. 330 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan)

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN
CSMWRD WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN Page 2
information be utilized to ensure any necessary specialized equipment is also identified and added to this basic list. Typical sampling equipment includes:
x Chain-of-custody (COC) forms
x Gas monitor
x Clean Stainless-Steel Sampling Bailer With Chain
x Clean Teflon Beakerവfor transferring liquid to sample bottles x Cooler with double-bagged ice or “blue ice” വ to maintain sample temperature at approximately 6C
x pH Meter and pH Paper
x Thermometer
x Appropriate Laboratory Cleaned Sample Bottles with applicable preservativesവbe sure to have spares for selected key analytes in case of field breakage. x Distilled Waterവfor small volume field decontamination of sampling equipment or person x Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)വgoggles, gloves, steel toe shoes, safety vest and hard hat x Gallon-size Plastic Bagsവfor sample bottles
x Plastic Garbage Bagsവfor sampling waste-e.g. used PPE, etc. x Traffic Control Equipmentവcones/delineators, caution tape x Sledgehammer and Pickവfor opening manholes
x Digital Camera(charged batteries)
x Cell phone
x Paper Towels

1.2 – Parameters Field Measurements
During sampling, parameters such as temperature, pH, and EC may be measured in the field. Water quality measurements and instrument calibration details will be recorded in field books and in sampling notebooks.

1.2.1 – Field Equipment Calibration
To ensure that data are representative of the actual field conditions, field equipment will be routinely calibrated. For each calibration, the time and date of the procedure, equipment identification number, the calibration procedure and type of standards used will be recorded on field forms and in notebooks accompanying the equipment.

5.C.c
Packet Pg. 331 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan)

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN
CSMWRD WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN Page 3

1.2.2 – Temperature Measurements
Temperature measurements will be made with a mercury-filled thermometer or an electronic thermistor, and all measurements will be recorded in degrees Fahrenheit.

1.2.3 – pH Measurement
The pH measurement will be made as soon as possible after collection of the sample, generally within a few minutes. The pH will be measured by immersing the pH probe into an aliquot of the sample. The pH meter will be calibrated per manufacturer specifications. Two buffer solutions (either pH-4 and pH7, or pH-7 and pH-10, whichever most closely bracket the anticipated range of sample conditions) will be used for instrument calibration.

1.2.4 – Specific Electrical Conductance (EC) Measurement In the event EC parameters are necessary, the EC will be measured by immersing the conductivity probe into an aliquot of the sample. The probes used should automatically compensate for the temperature of the sample. Measurements will be reported in units of micro-Siemens (µS) per square centimeter (equivalent to micromhos or µmhos) at 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit).

The EC meter will be calibrated in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s specifications and as outlined in the instruction manual for the EC meter used. The EC meter will be calibrated with a standard potassium chloride (KCl) solution recommended by the instrument manufacturer.

1.3 – Safety
Proper safety procedures must be observed at all times when collecting wastewater/water samples. It is incumbent on the sampling staff to be aware of potential hazards that may be encountered, and any special safety conditions (e.g. traffic, confined space, etc.) before planning or implementing the field sampling activity. Independent sampling consultants working for the City’s Water Resources Protection Programs (WRPP) must have a site specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) signed by a Certified Industrial Hygienist or other qualified professional. Sampling conducted by WRPP staff shall be pursuant to all relevant, applicable and most current City health and safety plan (HASP) guidelines.

1.4 – General Sampling Precautions
In order to collect representative and defensible data, field sampling must be conducted with a defined goal in mind (e.g. is the data for compliance, scheduled monitoring, or an enforcement action), and be conducted in an organized and repeatable fashion. Some general sampling precautions are:

5.C.c
Packet Pg. 332 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan)

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN
CSMWRD WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN Page 4
x Store samples in a clean secure location in order to avoid contamination. x Do not overflow bottles that contain preservatives while sampling. x Maintain proper custody procedures at all times (i.e. do not leave samples unattended). x Document all field activities in ink in a field notebook. x To the extent possible, sample collection should progress from the least contaminated location to the most contaminated location in order to minimize the potential for significant crosscontamination from sampling equipment. x If possible, segregate suspected high level contamination samples while storing and transporting from those with potentially lower levels of contamination. x Always use a new pair of clean gloves for each sample location. x Always use new laboratory-cleaned sample bottles.
x Always strictly observe laboratory sample preservative requirements and analytical method holding times.

1.5 – General Sampling Considerations
Because field, operational, or sampling conditions usually vary from one site to the next, the complexity of sampling at a particular site can also be markedly different from another. Key to any sample activity considerations are the specific pollutant limitations for the CSM. These can be found in CSM Municipal Code Section 5.20.040. In addition, the most recent bacterial Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Santa Monica Bay (receiving waters for our outfalls) is also relevant and applicable.

1.6 – Water Quality Samples
Grab samples will be collected to assess the water quality. The sampler will wear clean chemically resistant gloves as specified in the HASP while collecting the sample. Samples will be collected directly from the sampling device into laboratory-prepared bottles. Gloves will be changed at each individual sample location.

If known, each sampling episode should generally begin with the location having the lowest concentration of target compounds. Successive samples should generally be sampled in sequence of increasing concentration. Field QA/QC samples including equipment blanks, field blanks, trip blanks, and duplicates will be collected as necessary during each sampling event.

If a bladder pump or electric submersible pump is being used to sample, the flow rate will be adjusted to 1) approximately 100 milliliters per minute (mL/min); 2) a rate specifically selected based on discharge flow rates; or 3) as low as possible. This rate will be maintained until the discharge line has been purged and the sample collected.

5.C.c
Packet Pg. 333 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan)

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN
CSMWRD WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN Page 5
All samples will be sent to a State-certified testing laboratory for analysis. Sample analysis will, at minimum, include the following methodologies:
x All outfall samples will be tested for Fecal Coliform by Method SM 9221B, Total Coliform by Method SM 9221E, Enterococcus and Fecal Streptococcus by Method SM 9230B, and in situ pH and field temperature.
x Additional analytes may be added based on knowledge of the discharge source.

1.7 വ Sample Containers and Preservation
Appropriate pre-cleaned sample containers and preservatives for the analyses to be performed will be obtained from the subcontracted analytical laboratory. Appropriate sample containers, volumes, preservation, and holding time requirements are prioritized on Table 1 located in the Element 13 Appendix.

1.8 വ Sample Labeling
Sample containers will be labeled before or immediately after sampling with self-adhesive tags having the following information written in waterproof ink:
x Project number;
x Sample identification number (unique);
x Date and time sample was collected;
x Initials of sample collector; and
x Preservatives used

1.9 വ Quality Control Samples
To evaluate the precision and accuracy of analytical data, quality control samples, such as duplicates and blanks, will be periodically collected and/or prepared (e.g. one per location). These samples will be analyzed for the same analytes using unique (i.e. blind) sample identification number.

1.10 വ Sample Handling, Storage, and Transportation
Efforts will be made to handle, store, and transport supplies and samples safely. Exposure to dust, direct sunlight, high temperature, adverse weather conditions, and possible contamination will be avoided. Immediately following collection, sample bottles will be sealed within a Ziploc bag and placed in a clean chest that contains ice (if cooling is required), and will be transported to the subcontracted laboratory as soon as practical. Samples may only be held in the dedicated sample refrigerator at the WRPP offices.

2.0 – Field Activity Documentation
The WRPP and Wastewater Division maintain all of its analytical data in an automated data system. In order to maximize the efficiency and accuracy of the data system, all laboratory data is transmitted from the laboratory to the WRRP in an electronic format (WRPP will handle all lab interactions). The responsible party on the COC will receive a copy of the data (including the accompanying COC) in a PDF format. The PDF format provides certainty that the data has not been altered after being generated by the laboratory. Another copy of the data is transmitted directly to the WRPP/Wastewater Division information and technology manager for direct downloading into the data system. It is recommended that if the PDF format is retained, that it be disposed of after three years or pursuant to the most current City document retention guideline. Both the laboratory and the data system will have possession of an approved copy of the data. The current analytical laboratory for the WRRP is the Weck Laboratories Inc., located in the City of Industry, California, 91745, www.wecklabs.com. The laboratory contact is Kim Tu, telephone: (626) 336-2139 and fax: (626) 336-2634, [email protected]. As the contract manager, WRPP is aware of the most current contract laboratory and contact information. If you have any questions, please contact WRPP directly.

Field activities will be documented through field notes, electronic records and/or photographic records.

Field personnel will be responsible for maintaining field logs and more specific records for individual tasks being performed. Information recorded in field logs will include, but may not be limited to, the following:
x Description of field activities;
x Personnel and companies represented at the sample location or source of the discharge; x Field and weather conditions;
x Calibration records;
x Deviations from accepted work or sampling plans, accompanied by a justification for the deviation; and
x Description of equipment problems.

Entries to field logs and task-specific data forms will be made in indelible ink and signed and dated by the personnel making the entry. If changes to entries are necessary, the person making the change will cross out the item to be changed with a single line and initial and date the change. An explanation of the change should be recorded, if necessary.

Photographs of field activities, events of conditions will be supplemented with written records of the subject, date and time of the photographs. All sample location specific information collected electronically by computerized or automated measurement devices will be kept on file at the City’s

5.C.c

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN
CSMWRD WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN Page 7
Water Division. Copies of results and records will remain within the Water Division’s project files for a minimum period of three years.

2.1 – Field Data Sheets
A field record will be kept for each day of fieldwork or sampling. A sampling record will be used for each sample location to record the information collected during water quality sampling.

Water quality sampling forms will record the following information:
x Sample identification;
x Duplicate identification, if applicable;
x Date and time sampled;
x Sample location (i.e. outfall name & GIS coordinates); x Owner’s name of site of discharge source;
x Extraordinary circumstances (if any);
x Results of instrument calibration/standardization and field measurements (temperature, pH, EC) and observed relative turbidity;
x Depth from which sample was obtained (if from a diversion structure); x Number and type of sample container(s); and
x Times and volumes corresponding to water quality measurement.

2.2 – Chain-of-Custody Procedures
The methodology described within this section is in general accordance with the procedures described in ASTM Standard D4840-88 (1993) (Practice for Sampling Chain-of-Custody Procedures) (ASTM, 1993b).

After samples have been collected and labeled, they will be maintained under chain-of-custody (COC) procedures. These procedures document the transfer of custody of samples from the field to the laboratory. Each sample sent to the laboratory for analysis will be recorded on a COC record, which will include instructions to the laboratory for analytical services.

Information contained on the triplicate COC record will include:
x Project number;
x Signature of sampler(s);
x Date and time sampled;
x Sample identification;
x Number of sample containers;
x Sample matrix (water);

5.C.c
Packet Pg. 336 Attachment: Draft Sewer System Management Plan Update 2023 (5683 : Sanitary Sewer Management Plan)

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN
CSMWRD WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN Page 8
x Analyses required;
x Remarks, including preservatives, special conditions, or specific quality control measures; x Turnaround time and person to receive laboratory report; x Method of shipment to the laboratory (i.e. hand delivered, courier, etc.; x Release signature of sampler(s), and signatures of all people assuming custody; and x Condition of samples when received by the laboratory.

Blank spaces on the COC record will be crossed out between the last sample listed and the signatures at the bottom of the sheet.

The field sampler will sign the COC record and will record the time and date at the time of transfer to the laboratory or to an intermediate person. A set of signatures is required for each relinquished/reserved transfer, including transfer within the City Water Division. The original imprint of the COC record will accompany the sample containers. A duplicate copy will be placed in the project file.

If the samples are to be shipped to the laboratory, the original COC record will be sealed inside a plastic Ziploc bag within the ice chest, and the chest will be sealed with custody tape, which has been signed and dated by the last person listed on the chain-of-custody. U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) shipping requirements will be followed and the sample shipping receipt will be retained in the project files as part of the permanent COC document. It is required that the shipping company not sign the COC forms as a receiver; instead the laboratory will sign as a receiver when the samples are delivered at the laboratory.

Note: The standard operating procedure is to hand deliver the samples to the lab, or use a lab provided courier.

3.0 – Equipment Cleaning
Equipment or sampling apparatus that contacts a sample will be decontaminated prior to use unless it is pre-cleaned during manufacture and has remained in its sanitary seal or other original packaging (i.e. disposable equipment). The purpose of decontamination is to minimize the potential for cross contamination during investigation activities.

Bailers, sampling pumps, and other non-dedicated purging or sampling apparatus will be cleaned before and after sampling each location. Factory new and sealed disposable bailers may be used for sampling, but may not be reused. Thermometers, pH electrodes, and EC probes that will be used repeatedly, will be cleaned before and after each sampling and at any time during sampling if the object comes in contact with foreign matter.

Cleaning of reusable equipment (water level probe, submersible pump, etc.) that is not dedicated to a particular sample location will consist of the following:
x Bailers – the inside and outside of bailers will be cleaned in a solution of biodegradable detergent and potable water, followed by a rinse with deionized (DI) water. The bailers may also be steam cleaned, followed by a DI water rinse;
x Pumps – downhole, reusable portions of purge pumps will be steam cleaned on the outside or washed with laboratory-grade detergent followed by a potable water rinse. If the pump does not have a backflow check valve, the inside of the pump and tubing should also be steam cleaned. For a purge pump with a backflow check valve, the interior of the pump and tubing may be cleaned by pumping a laboratory grade detergent and potable water solution through the system followed by a potable water rinse, or by steam cleaning; and x Water Quality Meters – meters will be cleaned by rinsing the portion of the probe that was in contact with the groundwater sample in DI water, and allowing it to air dry.

Sample bottles and bottle caps will be provided by the subcontracted laboratory using standard U.S. EPA approved protocols. Sample bottles and bottle caps will be protected from contact with solvents, dust, or other contamination. Sample bottles will not be reused.

THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR
• Reduction of plumbing repair bills• Prevention of costly property damage, business interruption and/or expensive, unpleasant cleanup due toclogged sewers and overflows • Protection from potential health hazards caused by the accumulation of fats, oils, grease and food particles in yoursewer pipes • Protection for marine life and swimmers from health risks and beach closures due to sewage overflows spilling intoour storm drain system. • Protection for our sanitary sewer system and the
Hyperion Water Treatment Plant.

COMPLIANCE IS MANDATORYAll restaurants, eateries and food preparation facilities musthave a valid Industrial Wastewater Permit.This permit definesdischarge limitations established by the City Ordinance 5.20.40and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under theFederal Clean Water Act.Your permit may also require theinstallation of a pretreatment equipment.We encourage business and property owners to take pro-active steps towards preventing fats, oils, and grease fromentering the sewer system by implementing “ Best ManagementPractices” (BMP’s).We regularly monitor wastewater enteringthe sewer and stormdrain systems from your facilities andalert you to any discharges that exceed the limits specified inyour Industrial Wastewater Permit. Our staff will help youidentify the source of the problem, recommend solutions andgive you time to correct the situation. In the event noncompliance continues without resolution, we may be forcedto deny sewer service to your facility.

If you have questions about thepermitting process, pretreatmentsystems, or testing, please don’t hesitate to call us at 310-458-8235.

For water conservation information, please call
310-458-8972 ext 1.

We are pleased to provide youwith the practical and technicalinformation you need to protectyour business, the public health,and our environment.

Use of an in-ground greaseinterceptor prevents grease,oil and fat from reaching Santa Monica Bay.Constant testing of wastewaterdischarges into the sewer andstormdrains helps to ensurethe health of the public and Santa Monica Bay.

WHY NOT?Clean beaches, storm drains, and sewers are just good business.You do everything you can to keep customers comingback. Obviously, sewer overflows and backups are not conducive to repeat business.Often, cooking by-products containing grease are washed intoyour plumbing system through the sinks and floor drains inyour food preparation areas. Over time, the grease clogs yourpipes, sewer lines become blocked, and you have a costly,inconvenient problem to fix,but your problem can becomeeveryone else’s problem, too.Once sewer lines become blocked, wastewater full of fat, oil andgrease are forced up through manhole (utility) covers onto ourstreets and into our storm drain system.The untreated sewage flows through our storm drains to thebeach(see diagram below). Our beaches get poor grades for cleanlinessand sometimes are closed to the public due to significant health risks.The dangerous pathogens found in waste water are not favorable to marine citizens and businesses.Our Water Pollution Prevention Program is designed to protect public health,our environment and your business.

THE SOLUTION...BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Prevent fats, oils and grease from entering your pipes and thesewer system. These simple “Best Management Practices”will enable your restaurant to operate efficiently, safely and cost effectively.• Install an appropriatelysized greasetrap or interceptor inyour place ofbusiness. • Maintain, clean and service your grease trap or
interceptor regularly.
• Filter screens should not be washed on-site. A filter cleaning service must be used, unless you have a grease interceptor.• Do not use prohibited substances such as chlorine, acids and solvents with your grease trap or interceptor, as they may cause serious damage to your pretreatment system and the environment. • Be cautious of chemicals and additives that claim to
dissolve grease (including soaps and detergents). Often,these substances move the grease down your pipes onlyto clog sewer lines elsewhere. • Collect used grease and oil in a proper container that provides secondary containment and recycle. Do not pourgrease into sink, floor drains, or in dumpsters. • Scrape solids and food scraps from cooking surfaces,
plates and utensils into the trash can. Recycle food scrapswhenever possible.The use of garbage disposals is strictly prohibited. • Wash mats and equipment indoors, near kitchen floor
drain, or in janitor’s sink. Remember, untreated water inour storm drainsflow into the ocean. • In the event of a
grease spill in thealley or parking lot,use dry method forspill cleanup suchas kitty litter. Do not hose down spills. • Sweep up food particles, cigarette butts, dirt, sediment and trash from outside areas before rinsing or steam cleaningsurfaces. Use equipment that minimizes water useage andrunoff. Do not use toxic bleaches or detergents which could run into storm drains.

Mop up excess water
and dispose of in
toilet, sink, or
floor drains
connected to the
sanitary sewer.

Sewer lines take waste water to Hyperion Waste Water Treatment Plant Excessive grease contributes to blocked pipes cause sewer overflows intostorm drains leading into the Santa Monica Bay.

Recycle grease,do not pourdown drain. The storm drains take untreated waste water to the bay.

The above diagram shows how an underground grease interceptor prevents fats, oils, and grease from entering the sanitary sewer system.
