City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: November 16, 2022
FROM: Armine Chaparyan, City Manager ,Jrv
PREPARED BY: Sheila Pautsch, Community Services Director ITEM NO. 20
SUBJECT: Approval of a Discretionary Funds Request from Councilmember Jack Donovan in the amount of $300 for the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Float
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Find that the requested allocation of Discretionary Funds to support the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses (SPTOR) float is consistent with the findings required pursuant to the Guidelines for the Application of City Council Discretionary Budget Accounts adopted by Resolution No.7174; and

2. Approve the requested allocation in the amount of $300 by Councilmember Donovan to support the SPTOR float.

Background
In September 2004, the City Council approved the creation of discretionary spending budgets that allow each Councilmember the opportunity to fund projects or purchases that might not otherwise be funded in the approved budget. Discretionary funds must be used for a public purpose benefiting the City. On August 17, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution No. 7174, establishing guidelines for the application of City Council discretionary budget accounts. It requires that use of such funds may be used if findings can be made by the City Council. Resolution No. 7174 states that all funds not expended during the fiscal year shall be carried over to subsequent fiscal years, up to a maximum carryover amount of $10,000 per Councilmember account. The allocated funds need not be encumbered by a purchase order to be carried over to the following fiscal year. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20, the Budget included $20,000 of Discretionary Funds, which amounts to $4,000 per Councilmember which was a decrease from $25,000 in prior years. Each Fiscal Year since, the budget has remained at $20,000 for Discretionary Funds.

Analysis
The City Council receives an annual discretionary fund and shall make the following specific findings before recommending the use of any funds in a discretionary account for City-related projects or purchases: a) The expenditure has a public purpose benefitting the City; b) The expenditure is free of any conflicts of interest that may arise 20 - 1

from the use of City funds; and c) The expenditure is not a gift to any individual, corporation, or municipality, but is only used to benefit the general public of the City.

The following table displays the current discretionary fund balances:

Carry Over Funds FY 21/22
On November 2, 2022, Councilmember Donovan requested approval and received a second from Councilmember Mahmud to use Discretionary Funds in the amount of $300 to assist with the SPTOR float. This request supports a public purpose benefitting the City in the promotion of the City before an international audience; There are no known or anticipated conflicts of interest that may arise from the use of City funds, and this request is not a gift but is to benefit the general public of the City.

Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funds are available in the FY 2022-23 City Council Discretionary Budget Account No. 101-1010-1011-8021.

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Hold a Public Hearing to hear any objections of an ordinance adopting by reference and amending the 2022 California Fire Code (CFC);

2. Read by title only and waive further reading of an ordinance adopting by reference, make those certain express findings in Exhibit A to the proposed ordinance (Attachment 1 ), supporting amendments to the CFC as a local ordinance; and

3. Adopt an ordinance repealing the current South Pasadena Fire Code and South Pasadena Municipal Code (SPMC) Chapter 14, and replace it with a new Fire Code that adopts the CFC by reference with amendments that serve the specific needs of the City of South Pasadena (City).

Background
On November 2, 2022, the City Council conducted a first reading and introduction of the ordinance to adopt by reference and amend the 2022 California Fire Code (CFC) (Attachment 1 ).

First Floor, South Pasadena, CA 91030. The document may also be viewed at the following link: https://www.dgs.ca.gov/BSC/Codes
As of January 1, 2023, the CFC 2022 edition, will be the standard adopted by the State of California and applicable throughout the State. This Code meets the needs of the City, except in the areas where the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code and the SPMC are required to make the laws more stringent and better serve our community based on the City’s climate, geographical, and topographical needs. A city and/or county may establish more restrictive building standards reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Findings of the local condition(s) and the adopted local buildings standard(s) must be filed with the California Building Standards Commission to become effective, and may not be effective sooner than the effective date of this edition of CBSC. Local building standards that were adopted and applicable to previous editions of the CBSC do not apply to this edition without appropriate adoption and required filing. Findings supporting the amendments to the CBSC due to the climatic/geographic/topographic conditions in South Pasadena are included as Exhibit A to Attachment 1.

The CBSC is published in its entirety every three years by order of the California Legislature, with supplements published in intervening years. The California Legislature delegated authority to various state agencies, boards, commissions and departments to create buildings regulations to implement the state’s statues. These building regulations or standards, have the same force of law, and take effect 180 days after their publication unless otherwise stipulated. The CBSC applies to occupancies in the State of California as annotated.

Fiscal Impact
Fiscal impacts associated with the adoption of the CFC, 2022 edition are limited to the allocation of South Pasadena Fire Department assigned staff to the adoption process and the purchase of the CFC, 2022 edition.

Public Noticing
A Public Hearing Notice was Published November 3 and November 10, 2022 in the Pasadena Star-News.

THE CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE BY MODIFYING
CHAPTER 14 (FIRE PREVENTION) THEREOF ADOPTING BY
REFERENCE THE 2022 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE WITH CERTAIN

AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS THERETO
WHEREAS, the 2022 California Fire Code, has been published by the International Code Council (2021 International Fire Code), and the California Building Standards Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City may amend the provisions of the California Code of Regulations Title 24 provided express findings for each amendment, addition or Deletion is made based upon climatic, topographical, or geological conditions; and WHEREAS, the City shall file the amendments, additions, or deletions with California Building Standards Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City is located in the County of Los Angeles, and is subject to long periods of dry, hot, and windy climates, which increase the chance of a fire occurring and predispose the City to large destructive fires. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in moderate density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels for fire prevention and protection; and
WHEREAS, the City's close proximity to major fault lines; there is a significant possibility for multiple fires spreading out of control due to ruptured gas lines and multiple structural collapses. Because of the major earthquake hazard, and due to some older nonconforming buildings, it is necessary during new construction or building renovation to use the City ordinance to control and minimize conditions hazardous to life and property, which may result from fire, hazardous materials or an explosion; and WHEREAS, the water supply (domestic and fire flow) system within the City Is directly affected by the topographical layout of City. The distribution system consists of high-low pressure and gravity systems zones, which carry the water from various reservoirs and storage tanks to different zones via water pipes. These street mains consist of high-pressure lines and low-pressure lines where the pressure and flows are adequate in most of the areas of the City. This variation of pressure causes major problems to development, as well as fire suppression operations. The southwest quadrant of South Pasadena has been designated as a High Fire Hazard Area as provided by state law; and WHEREAS, the geographic layout and contours of the City create barriers for accessibility for fire suppression forces; and

City Council
Agenda Report

ITEM NO. ____
DATE: November 2, 2022
FROM: Arminé Chaparyan, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Paul Riddle, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: First Reading and Introduction of an Ordinance Adopting by Reference the 2022 California Fire Code with Certain
Amendments, Additions, and Deletions thereto Amending
Chapter 14 of the South Pasadena Municipal Code
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Introduce for first reading by title only and waive further reading of an ordinance adopting by reference and amending the 2022 California Fire Code;

2. Repeal the current South Pasadena Fire Code and South Pasadena Municipal Code (SPMC) Chapter 14 and replace it with a new Fire Code that adopts the California Fire Code (CFC) 2022 edition, by reference with amendments that serve the specific needs of the City of South Pasadena (City); and

3. Schedule a Public Hearing on November 16, 2022 to consider adoption and second reading of the same ordinance.

Background
Every three years, the State adopts new codes (known collectively as the California Building Standards Code or “Title 24”) to establish uniform standards for the construction and maintenance of buildings, electrical systems, plumbing systems, mechanical systems, and fire and life safety systems. While State law requires local governments to enforce California Title 24, the law allows local governments to enact additional local amendments, but only where the City Council can make a finding that these amendments are based on local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.

These findings are identified in the attached ordinance and include such conditions as the City’s close proximity to major fault lines, the fact that the City is subject to long periods of dry, hot, and windy conditions and the fact that the City’s water system is directly affected by the topographical layout of the City.

In order to support these findings, the layout of the South Pasadena Municipal Code (SPMC) Chapter 14 has been changed to provide a clearer and better structured look for applicants when searching for information. Article 14.1 defines the high fire risk area within the City and special provisions related to roof types. Historically, the area defined 21 - 23
California Fire Code, 2022 Edition
November 2, 2022

Page 2 of 3 ends

as high risk area within the City was already considered and treated as high risk area but was not codified in the SPMC. The high fire risk area is defined as those properties located south of Monterey Road and West of Meridian Avenue. Additional amendments include, but are not limited to, more restrictive requirements for sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, and chimney spark arrestors.

The City is a densely populated municipality located in the County of Los Angeles. It is subject to long periods of hot, dry, and windy conditions. These conditions increase the chance of a fire occurring and predispose the City to large destructive fires. These climatic conditions and winds can also contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in moderate density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire prevention and protection.

The City is also in close proximity to major fault lines and there is a significant possibility for multiple fires spreading out of control due to ruptured gas lines and multiple structural collapses. Because of the major earthquake hazard, and due to some older nonconforming buildings, it is necessary during new construction or building renovation to use the City ordinance to control and minimize conditions hazardous to life and property, which may result from fire, hazardous materials or an explosion.

In addition, the geographic layout and contours of the City create barriers for accessibility for fire suppression forces. These unique topographical layout also directly affect the City’s water distribution system. The distribution system consists of high-low pressure and gravity systems zones, which carry the water from various reservoirs and storage tanks to different zones via water pipes. These street mains consist of highpressure lines and low-pressure lines where the pressure and flows are adequate in most of the areas of the City. This variation of pressure can cause major problems to development, as well as fire suppression operations.

Analysis
The 2022 CFC is Part 9 of the official triennial compilation and publication of the adoptions, amendments and repeal of administrative regulations to California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, also referred to as California Building Standards Code (CBSC). This Part is known as the CFC and incorporates, by adoption, the 2021 edition of the International Fire Code (IFC) of the International Code Council (ICC) with the California Amendments. As of January 1, 2023, the CFC, 2022 edition, will be the standard adopted by the State of California. This code book meets the needs of the City except in the areas where the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code Book, and the SPMC are required to make the laws more stringent and better serve our community based on the City’s climate, geographical, and topographical needs.

A City, and/or County may establish more restrictive building standards reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Findings of the local condition(s) and the adopted local buildings standard(s) must be filed with the California Building Standards Commission to become effective and may not be effective 21 - 24
California Fire Code, 2022 Edition
November 2, 2022

Page 3 of 3 ends

sooner than the effective date of this edition of CBSC. Local building standards that were adopted and applicable to previous editions of the CBSC do not apply to this edition without appropriate adoption and required filing.

Fiscal Impact
Fiscal impacts associated with the adoption of the CFC, 2022 edition are limited to the allocation of SPFD assigned staff to the adoption process and the purchase of the CFC, 2022 edition.

ITEM NO. 22
SUBJECT: Award of a Two-Year Contract with Flock Group, Inc. for Flock Camera Automated License Plate Reader Technology Services in an Amount not to Exceed $69,550
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Award a two-year contract with Flock Group, Inc. (Flock) for Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology services in an amount not to exceed $69,550;

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and future amendments to the contract, including exercise of the contract extension options; and

3. Approve an appropriation of $9,550 from Fiscal Year 2022-23 General Fund reserves to Contract Services Account Number 101-4010-4011-8180 for the twoyear contract.

Background
Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras, which may be mobile or stationary, are positioned to capture objective data available through still images of the front and/or rear of vehicles and their license plates as they pass within close proximity of the cameras. The images are converted into alphanumeric characters and then compared against databases that contain identifying vehicle information associated with criminal investigations.

Flock Safety was founded in 2017, and specializes in ALPR technology for law enforcement agencies and neighborhood associations. The Flock camera system (Flock System) does not capture data or images of the vehicle's occupants, nor does it capture streaming video or audio clips. Given the parameters of the image collection, some communities have sought these types of systems to reduce the potential for negative interactions between motorists and law enforcement as the information and the means obtained is not considered intrusive or biased. The use of this technology is consistent with President Obama's Task Force on 21st Century Policing, Pillar Three - Technology and Social Media: The use of technology can improve policing practices and build community trust and legitimacy, but its implementation must be built on a defined policy framework with purposes and goals clearly delineated.

Award of a Contract regarding Flock Camera Automated License Plate Readers November 16, 2022

Page 2 of 4 ends

The South Pasadena Police Department (Police Department) has been deploying mobile ALPR technology since 2013. The item was originally brought before City Council at the February 20, 2013 City Council Regular Meeting and approved for purchase and implementation.

As required by California Civil Code section 1798.90.51, public agencies using ALPR technology must adopt a usage and privacy policy to ensure that the collection, use, maintenance, sharing, and dissemination of ALPR information is consistent with respect for individuals’ privacy, security, and civil liberties. Civil Code Section 1798.90.55 also requires that the public agency provide an opportunity for the public to review and comment on this policy at a City Council meeting. The existing policy governing the use of ALPRs is pursuant to Police Department Duty Manual Section 430, which establishes the usage, storage, dissemination, and retention of ALPR data. The Police Department trains its personnel in the proper usage of the ALPR system and secure storage of all data associated with the system.

In 2021, the City Council directed the Public Safety Commission (PSC) to investigate the potential use of unarmed traffic enforcement. In the report provided at the PSC September 13, 2021 Regular Meeting, the PSC opined unarmed traffic enforcement was not possible given current laws. However, the PSC highlighted the benefits of technology use as an option to reduce potentially negative law enforcement contacts.

Analysis
The Flock System entails deploying purposefully placed cameras throughout the City to provide increased coverage and detailed information to law enforcement as both a crime deterrent and investigative tool.

ALPR cameras can assist law enforcement by capturing and comparing license plate data to criminal justice databases in order to detect stolen vehicles, identify wanted persons, collect evidence for criminal prosecution, and monitor Amber or Silver Alerts.

When a wanted vehicle is identified, an alert is sent to the communication center and patrol officers in the field for an immediate response. Flock’s integrated technology will also allow for searchable descriptors to be queried, such as the vehicle type, make, color, license plate (partial, missing, or covered plates), temporary plates, and license plate state.

To provide such service effectively, staff recommends that the service contract include deploying thirteen (13) stationary cameras to be positioned within the City at ingress and egress locations. Police Department staff have identified these locations as major thoroughfares and intersections while providing optimum effectiveness in capturing ALPR data from the public right of way. Locations were also determined from public discussions and consideration of neighboring cities and the placement of their Flock systems, in order to reduce redundancies. Flock cameras can capture up to two lanes of traffic heading in a single direction. The proposed locations are as listed as follows:

Flock ALPR cameras have been implemented across the nation and within local regions in more than 270 cities, including San Marino, Alhambra, Glendale, San Gabriel, Arcadia, and throughout Los Angeles County. These entities have reported significant crime reductions and performance satisfaction using Flock ALPRs. The San Marino Police Department reported a 70% reduction in larceny crimes within the first year of use. In 2021, the Huntington Beach Police Department reported 291 hits that resulted in 51 arrests. Other cities have reported an 80% reduction in burglaries or other crimes.

Several local cities have agreements to share information via the Flock System.

Information sharing enhances service, reduces costs, and creates a force multiplier by utilizing hundreds of cameras instead of only the thirteen staff recommends.

At Flock’s default setting, all data is permanently deleted after 30 days. It is recommended for all public agencies and staff concurs that data should be stored for up to one year. One year of storage comes at an additional price of $300 per camera annually. All data obtained is owned by the City of South Pasadena (City). Flock would not have access to view or monitor footage without the explicit permission of the City.

However, Flock does have the ability to measure camera performance and imagecapture quality. This is used preemptively to diagnose issues and schedule maintenance service calls.

Flock ALPR footage, data, and metadata are encrypted throughout its entire lifecycle and are therefore secure from the initial image capture point to its transfer to the cloud.

The encryption, AES256-bit encryption, is the same encryption algorithm used by the National Security Agency for top-secret information and is Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant.

The agreement with Flock is a subscription-based model which includes footage hosting, camera leasing, cellular service, maintenance, and software updates. The cost for the service is calculated per camera at $2,500 for equipment use and $300 for extended data storage of one year. A one-time $350 installation cost per camera is also 22 - 3

required. The Police Department can terminate the agreement prior to the completion of the initial term but is subject to a $500 per camera removal fee.

Staff evaluated other options and found the closest alternative was Vigilant Systems (Vigilant), which is owned by Motorola Solutions, Inc. While some cities in Southern California are also using Vigilant, none of them are adjacent to South Pasadena.

Vigilant also requires a significant up-front cost to purchase and install the hardware, in addition to a power supply source. The Flock subscription-based service model better suits the Police Department’s needs at this time and was selected for recommendation on that basis.

Fiscal Impact
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes an appropriation of $30,000 for implementing a stationary ALPR system from the Police Department’s Contract Services Account No. 101-4010-4011-8180. With the approval of a two-year contract with Flock Group, Inc., staff would anticipate another $30,000 budget allocation for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 adopted budget. If approved, this project will require the appropriation of an additional $9,550 from the Fiscal Year 2022-23 General Fund Reserves to the Contract Services Account Number 101-4010-4011-8180.

The Flock System is the only Law Enforcement-grade ALPR system which allows direct integration with AxonEvidence.com, a system the Police Department is currently using.

Additionally, the Flock System is the only option on the market that would allow the Police Department to share ALPR data and information with neighboring agencies, including Alhambra Police Department, San Marino Police Department, Arcadia Police Department, and Glendale Police Department. The ability to share this data with neighboring agencies is invaluable, as many crimes are shared among the region. Flock is also the only ALPR vendor to offer a large variety of features, including: cloud storage, web-based footage retrieval, solar-powered cameras which eliminate infrastructure requirements, multi-lane capture abilities, active performance monitoring to determine image quality, and more.

Commission Review and Recommendation
On October 17, 2022, the Public Safety Commission reviewed this item. With four Commissioners present, and Vice Chair Watson and Commissioner Gee absent, the Commission voted 4-0 in favor of recommending the approval of the Flock Camera System to the City Council.

Flock will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Agency or any Authorized End User may incur as a result of a Service Interruption. To the extent that the Service Interruption is not caused by Agency’s direct actions or by the actions of parties associated with the Agency, the expiration of the Term will be tolled by the duration of the Service Interruption (for any continuous suspension lasting at least one full day) prorated for the proportion of cameras on the Agency’s account that have been impacted. For example, in the event of a Service Interruption lasting five (5) continuous days, Agency will receive a credit for five (5) free days at the end of the Term.

2.8 Installation Services.

2.8.1 Designated Locations. For installation of Flock Hardware, excluding Falcon Flex products, prior to performing the physical installation of the Flock Hardware, Flock shall advise Agency on the location and positioning of the Flock Hardware for optimal license plate image capture, as conditions and location allow. Flock may consider input from Agency regarding location, position and angle of the Flock Hardware (“Designated Location”) and collaborate with Agency to design the Deployment Plan confirming the Designated Locations. Flock shall have final discretion on location of Flock Hardware. Flock shall have no liability to Agency resulting from any poor performance, functionality or Footage resulting from or otherwise relating to the Designated Locations or delay in installation due to Agency’s delay in confirming Designated Locations, in ordering and/or having the Designated Location ready for installation including having all electrical work preinstalled and permits ready, if necessary. After installation, any subsequent changes to the Deployment Plan (“Reinstalls”) will incur a charge for Flock’s thencurrent list price for Reinstalls, as listed in the then-current Reinstall policy (available at https:// www.flocksafety.com/reinstall-fee-schedule) and any equipment fees. For clarity, Agency will receive prior notice and provide approval for any such fees. These changes include but are not limited to re-positioning, adjusting of the mounting, re-angling, removing foliage, replacement, changes to heights of poles, regardless of whether the need for Reinstalls related to vandalism, weather, theft, lack of criminal activity in view, and the like. Flock shall have full discretion on decision to reinstall Flock Hardware.

2.8.2 Agency Installation Obligations. Agency agrees to allow Flock and its agents reasonable access in and near the Designated Locations at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice for the purpose of performing the installation work. Although Flock Hardware is designed to utilize solar power, certain Designated Locations may require a reliable source of 120V or 240V AC power. In the event adequate solar power is not available, Agency is solely responsible for costs associated with providing a reliable source of 120V or 240V AC power to Flock Hardware. Flock will provide solar options to supply power at each Designated Location. If Agency refuses recommended solar options, Agency waives any reimbursement, tolling, or credit for any suspension period of Flock Services due to low solar power. Additionally, Agency is solely responsible for (i) any permits or associated costs, and managing the permitting process of installation of cameras or AC power; (ii) any federal, state, or local taxes including property, license, privilege, sales, use, excise, gross receipts, or other similar taxes which may now or 22 - 14
hereafter become applicable to, measured by or imposed upon or with respect to the installation of the Flock Hardware, its use (excluding tax exempt entities), or (iii) any other supplementary cost for services performed in connection with installation of the Flock Hardware, including but not limited to contractor licensing, engineered drawings, rental of specialized equipment, or vehicles, third-party personnel (i.e. Traffic Control Officers, Electricians, State DOT-approved poles, etc., if necessary), such costs to be approved by the Agency (“Agency Installation Obligations”). In the event that a Designated Location for Flock Hardware requires permits, Flock may provide the Agency with a temporary alternate location for installation pending the permitting process. Once the required permits are obtained, Flock will relocate the Flock Hardware from the temporary alternate location to the permitted location at no additional cost. Without being obligated or taking any responsibility for the foregoing, Flock may pay and invoice related costs to Agency if Agency did not address them prior to the execution of this Agreement or a third party requires Flock to pay. Agency represents and warrants that it has, or shall lawfully obtain, all necessary right title and authority and hereby authorizes Flock to install the Flock Hardware at the Designated Locations and to make any necessary inspections or tests in connection with such installation.

2.8.3 Flock’s Obligations. Installation of Flock Hardware shall be installed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with Flock’s standard installation procedures, and the installation will be completed within a reasonable time from the time that the Designated Locations are confirmed. Upon removal of Flock Hardware, Flock shall restore the location to its original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Following the initial installation of the Flock Hardware and any subsequent Reinstalls or maintenance operations, Flock’s obligation to perform installation work shall cease; however, for the sole purpose of validating installation, Flock will continue to monitor the performance of Flock Hardware for the length of the Term and will receive access to the Footage for a period of seven (7) business days after the initial installation for quality control and provide any necessary maintenance. Labor may be provided by Flock or a third-party. Flock is not obligated to install, reinstall, or provide physical maintenance to Agency Hardware. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Agency understands that Flock will not provide installation services for Falcon Flex products.

2.8.4 Ownership of Hardware. Flock Hardware shall remain the personal property of Flock and will be removed upon the natural expiration of this Agreement at no additional cost to Agency. Agency shall not perform any acts which would interfere with the retention of title of the Flock Hardware by Flock. Should Agency default on any payment of the Flock Services, Flock may remove Flock Hardware at Flock’s discretion. Such removal, if made by Flock, shall not be deemed a waiver of Flock’s rights to any damages Flock may sustain as a result of Agency’s default and Flock shall have the right to enforce any other legal remedy or right.

2.9 Hazardous Conditions. Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, Flock’s price for its services under this Agreement does not contemplate work in any areas that contain hazardous materials, or other hazardous conditions, including, without limit, asbestos, lead, toxic or flammable substances. In the event any such hazardous materials are discovered in the designated locations in which Flock is to perform services under this Agreement, Flock shall have the right to cease work immediately in the area affected until such materials are removed or rendered harmless.

2.10 Support Services. Subject to the payment of fees, Flock shall monitor the performance and functionality of Flock Services and may, from time to time, advise Agency on changes to the Flock Services, Installation Services, or 22 - 15
the Designated Locations which may improve the performance or functionality of the Services or may improve the quality of the Footage. The work, its timing, and the fees payable relating to such work shall be agreed by the Parties prior to any alterations to or changes of the Services or the Designated Locations (“Monitoring Services”). Flock will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to requests for support. Flock will provide Agency with reasonable technical and on-site support and maintenance services (“On-Site Services”) in-person or by email at [email protected], at no additional cost. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Agency is solely responsible for installation of Falcon Flex products. Agency further understands and agrees that Flock will not provide monitoring services or on-site services for Falcon Flex.

2.11 Special Terms. From time to time, Flock may offer certain special terms related to guarantees, service and support which are indicated in the proposal and on the Order Form and will become part of this Agreement, upon Agency’s prior written consent (“Special Terms”). To the extent that any terms of this Agreement are inconsistent or conflict with the Special Terms, the Special Terms shall control.

2.12 Upgrades to Platform. Flock may, in its sole discretion, make any upgrades to system or platform that it deems necessary or useful to (i) maintain or enhance (a) the quality or delivery of Flock’s products or services to its agencies, (b) the competitive strength of, or market for, Flock’s products or services, (c) such platform or system’s cost efficiency or performance, or (ii) to comply with applicable law. Parties understand that such upgrades are necessary from time to time and will not materially change any terms or conditions within this Agreement.

3. RESTRICTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 Agency Obligations. Flock will assist Agency Authorized End Users in the creation of a User ID. Agency agrees to provide Flock with accurate, complete, and updated registration information. Agency may not select as its User ID a name that Agency does not have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to impersonate that person.

430.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance for the capture, storage and use of digital data obtained through the use of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology. 430.2 ADMINISTRATION
The ALPR technology, also known as License Plate Recognition (LPR), allows for the automated detection of license plates. It is used by the South Pasadena Police Department to convert data associated with vehicle license plates for official law enforcement purposes, including identifying stolen or wanted vehicles, stolen license plates and missing persons. It may also be used to gather information related to active warrants, homeland security, electronic surveillance, suspect interdiction and stolen property recovery.

All installation and maintenance of ALPR equipment, as well as ALPR data retention and access, shall be managed by the Support Services Division Commander. The Support Services Division Commander will assign members under his/her command to administer the day-to-day operation of the ALPR equipment and data.
430.2.1 ALPRADMINISTRATOR
The Support Services Division Commander shall be responsible for developing guidelines and procedures to comply with the requirements of Civil Code § 1798.90.5 et seq. This includes, but is not limited to (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53):

(b) An ALPR may be used in conjunction with any routine patrol operation or criminal investigation. Reasonable suspicion or probable cause is not required before using an ALPR.
(c) While an ALPR may be used to canvass license plates around any crime scene, particular consideration should be given to using ALPR-equipped cars to canvass areas around homicides, shootings and other major incidents. Partial license plates reported during major crimes should be entered into the ALPR system in an attempt to identify suspect vehicles.
(d) No member of this department shall operate ALPR equipment or access ALPR data without first completing department-approved training.
(e) No ALPR operator may access department, state or federal data unless otherwise authorized to do so.
(f) If practicable, the officer should verify an ALPR response through the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) before taking enforcement action that is based solely on an ALPR alert.
430.4 DATA COLLECTION AND RETENTION
The Support Services Division Commander is responsible for ensuring systems and processes are in place for the proper collection and retention of ALPR data. Data will be transferred from vehicles to the designated storage in accordance with department procedures.

All ALPR data downloaded to the server should be stored for a minimum of one year (Government Code § 34090.6) and in accordance with the established records retention schedule. Thereafter, ALPR data should be purged unless it has become, or it is reasonable to believe it will become, evidence in a criminal or civil action or is subject to a discovery request or other lawful action to produce records. In those circumstances the applicable data should be downloaded from the server onto portable media and booked into evidence. 430.5 ACCOUNTABILITY
All data will be closely safeguarded and protected by both procedural and technological means.

The South Pasadena Police Department will observe the following safeguards regarding access to and use of stored data (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53):
(a) All ALPR data downloaded to the mobile workstation and in storage shall be accessible only through a login/password-protected system capable of documenting all access of information by name, date and time (Civil Code § 1798.90.52). (b) Members approved to access ALPR data under these guidelines are permitted to access the data for legitimate law enforcement purposes only, such as when the data relate to a specific criminal investigation or department-related civil or administrative action.

City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: November 16, 2022
FROM: Armine Chaparyan, City Manager �
PREPARED BY: H. Ted Gerber, Director of Public Works
ITEM NO. 23
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a 2022 Sewer System Management Plan
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the 2022 Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP).

Background
The City of South Pasadena operates existing utility sewer collection services. The sewer collection system consists of approximately 58 miles of sewer pipelines and two sewer lift stations. The SSMP provides a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the City's sanitary sewer system - preventing potential sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), or mitigating the impact of SSOs that occur.

Analysis
The SSMP is a California State Water Resources Control Board required document, which the City must update every five (5) years. The City has not submitted a SSMP to the State since 2009. This project is overseen by the Director of Public Works. The current Director has made this project a priority since taking the position earlier this year. The SSMP serves as an operational document that defines how the City achieves SSO compliance through the organization of staff, an operations and maintenance program, design and performance provisions, overflow emergency response, capacity assurance, monitoring and audit provisions, as well as fats, oils, and grease (FOG) control. A draft resolution adopting the SSMP is included as Attachment 1. The draft SSMP is included as Attachment 2.

Next Steps
In addition to the general requirement to implement a SSMP, the City has specific requirements related to sewer maintenance and operations that must be completed under a 2011 Consent Judgement (Attachment 3). These requirements include:
• Sewer repair work at specific locations
• Submittal of quarterly reports
• Implementation of an asset management software program 23 - 1
Adoption of the Sewer System Management Plan
November 16, 2022

Page 2 of 3 ends

• A flow and capacity study
• Video analysis of the sewer system and related quarterly reports • FOG Control Program
• Frequent inspection of locations with historic performance issues (hot spots) • Staff Training
The City undertook a comprehensive sewer infrastructure improvement program to implement the requirements of the Consent Judgement. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Enforcement Unit has made inquiries to the City on the status of the work related to the Consent Judgment. Specifically, the RWQCB is requesting additional information to:
• Resolve discrepancies between the competed sewer rehabilitation work and the requirements of the Consent Judgment.
• Resolve discrepancies between the competed video inspection work and the requirements of the Consent Judgment.
• Resolve discrepancies between staff inspections and staff training per the requirements of the Consent Judgment.
• Resolve the lack of submission of quarterly required reports since 2017. • Submission of a Final Report that supplements the Project Completion Report that was submitted to the RWQCB in 2019, where the 2019 report did not provide a list or description of all the projects listed in the Consent Judgment that have been completed.

Compliance with the Consent Judgement is overseen by the Director of Public Works.

The current Director has made this project a priority since taking the position earlier this year. However, staffing levels has not allowed for this to be accomplished with the current personnel. Staff is seeking assistance from a professional consultant to develop a final report that details the City’s actions related to the Consent Judgement requirements, and will return to the City Council to request budget appropriation and contract approval for this task.

Fiscal Impact
There is no additional fiscal impact resulting from the implementation of the SSMP beyond what is requested the annual operating budget.

Commission Review and Recommendation
City Council’s adoption of the SSMP was recommended by the Public Works Commission on February 24, 2022.

Environmental Analysis
This is an adoption of a State mandated management plan for the City’s existing sanitary sewer system. Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15308, Class 8, “Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of 23 - 2
Adoption of the Sewer System Management Plan
November 16, 2022

Page 3 of 3 ends

the Environment,” this action is exempt from further review under CEQA. The development and implement of the plan is a requirement of the California State Water Resources Control Board, and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) because it is an action pursuant to a regulatory requirement to assure the protection of the environment, and involves procedures for protection of the environment. Furthermore, the plan applies to the City’s existing sanitary sewer collection system, where there is no expansion of use, and is therefore exempt from the CEQA analysis based on State CEQA Guidelines Section requirements under Section 21084 of the Public Resources Code, in accordance with Article 19, Section 15301, Class (1) "existing facilities."

CHAPTER 1 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 1-1
Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents an overview of the need for this Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP).

The City of South Pasadena’s (City) previous SSMP was adopted in June 2008. This SSMP is an update to the City’s existing SSMP.

1.1 Purpose
This SSMP has been prepared by Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Carollo) as part of the City’s One Water 2050 Plan in order to comply with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order No. 2006-0003 (Order No. 2006-0003), as well as SWRCB Order No. WQ 2013-0058-EXEC (Order No. WQ 2013-0058-EXEC). Copies of Order No. 2006 0003 and Order No. WQ 2013-0058-EXEC are included in Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively.

The purpose of this SSMP is to provide a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the City’s sanitary sewer system. This will help reduce and prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) to the extent possible, as well as mitigate any SSOs that do occur.

1.2 Service Area
The City encompasses a 3.44 square mile area in Los Angeles County, located approximately 6 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles and approximately 2.5 miles south of the center of the City of Pasadena. As shown on Figure 1.1 the City is bordered on the north by the City of Pasadena, on the east by the City of San Marino, on the southeast by the City of Alhambra, on the west and southwest by the City of Los Angeles.

This report serves as a comprehensive SSMP and covers the City’s entire collection system.

1.3 Background
Nationally, SSOs have been in the regulatory spotlight since 1995. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Report to Congress (August 2004) identified the number and frequency of SSOs as a public health and water quality issue.

On May 2, 2006, the California SWRCB adopted Order No. 2006-0003, which focused on the reduction of SSOs. Order No. 2006-0003 requires that all collection systems with more than one mile of sewer pipe apply for coverage under the order by November 2, 2006.

The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) has existing requirements for collection systems and SSOs. Order No. 2006-0003 supplements the existing RWQCB requirements with the intent to gradually make requirements consistent statewide. 23 - 18
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 1 1-2 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
The requirements for SSMPs are closely related to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Capacity, Management, Operation, and Maintenance (CMOM) rule (published in the Federal Register in January 2001) and they constitute a best management practices (BMPs) approach to the regulation of collection systems. The SSMP elements are:
• Goals.
• Organization Structure.
• Overflow Emergency Response Plan.
• Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Control Program.
• Legal Authority.
• Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Program.
• Design and Performance Provisions.
• System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan.
• Monitoring, Measurement, and Program Modifications.
• SSMP Audits.
• Communication Plan.

1.4 Acknowledgements
Carollo wishes to acknowledge and thank the following staff from the City for their cooperation and courtesy in obtaining a variety of necessary information required to produce this SSMP:

CHAPTER 2 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSMP) | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 2-1
Chapter 2
GOALS
This chapter discusses the goals of the City's SSMP. The SSMP goals pertain to the operation and management of the City’s wastewater collection system with respect to SSOs.

2.1 Regulatory Requirements
Order No. 2006-0003 establishes the goal of the SSMP as follows:
“The purpose of this SSMP is to provide a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system. This will help reduce and prevent SSOs, as well as mitigate any SSOs that do occur.”

2.2 SSMP Goals
This SSMP has been prepared in order to achieve the following goals:
• Properly manage, operate, and maintain all aspects and components of the City’s wastewater collection system.
• Provide the wastewater collection system with adequate capacity to convey peak wastewater flows.
• Minimize the occurrence of SSOs to the extent possible. • Mitigate the impacts that are associated with any SSO that may occur. • Meet all regulatory requirements related to the SSMP and SSO reporting system.

2.3 Definitions
An SSO is defined as any overflow, release, discharge, or diversion of untreated or partially treated wastewater from a sanitary sewer system. There are three categories of SSOs as established by Order No. 2006-0003:
• Category 1: This category includes all discharges of sewage resulting from a failure in the City’s sanitary sewer system that:
- Equal or exceed 1,000 gallons, or
- Result in a discharge to a drainage channel and/or surface water; or - Discharge to a storm drainpipe that was not fully captured and returned to the sanitary sewer system.
• Category 2: This category includes all other discharges of sewage resulting from a failure in the City’s sanitary sewer system.
• Private Lateral Sewage Discharges: Sewage discharges that are caused by blockages or other problems within a privately owned lateral.
23 - 24
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 2 2-2 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
As part of Order No. 2006-0003, all agencies that own or operate sanitary systems greater than one mile in length that collect and/or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility are required to report Category 1 and Category 2 SSOs. The reporting of Private Lateral Sewage Discharges is optional.

SSOs include:
• Overflows or releases of untreated or partially treated wastewater that reach the waters of the United States.
• Overflows or releases of untreated or partially treated wastewater that do not reach the water of the United States.
• Wastewater backups into buildings and on private property that are caused by blockages or flow conditions within the publicly owned portion of a sanitary sewer system.

2.4 Prohibition
Order No. 2006-0003 prohibits any SSO that results in a discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater to waters of the United States or that causes a “nuisance,” as defined in California Water Code Section 13050(m). There is no “affirmative defense” for unforeseen or unavoidable SSOs. Instead, Section D.6 of Order No. 2006-0003 includes the concept of “enforcement discretion,” and identifies seven specific factors that must be considered in an enforcement action, such as the extent to which the discharger has complied with the provisions of the WDRs. In the event of an SSO, all feasible steps should be taken to limit the released volume and prevent untreated water from entering storm drains, creeks, etc. All SSOs must be reported through a statewide online reporting system, the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/ciwqs/.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
This chapter identifies the responsible representative from the City for the implementation of this SSMP. It also includes an organizational chart and a chain of communication for reporting SSOs.

3.1 Regulatory Requirement
Order No. 2006-0003 specifies that the SSMP must identify the following:
• The name of the responsible or authorized representative for the implementation of the SSMP.
• The names and telephone numbers for management, administrative, and maintenance positions responsible for implementing specific measures of the SSMP program. The SSMP must identify lines of authority through an organizational chart or similar document with a narrative explanation.
• The chain of communication for reporting SSOs, from receipt of a complaint and other information, including the person responsible for reporting SSOs to the State and Regional Water Board and other agencies if applicable (such as County Health Officer, County Environmental Health Agency, Regional Water Board, and/or State Office of Emergency Services (OES)).

3.2 Authorized Representative
The City has authorized four staff members to serve as authorized representatives. These individuals are the Director of Public Works (Ted Gerber), the Deputy Director of Public Works (Anteneh Tesfaye), the Public Works Operations Manager (Catrina Peguero), and the Street and Sewer Supervisor (Eddie Munoz).

These employees are responsible for entering spill data on CIWQS at https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/ciwqs/.

3.3 Organizational Hierarchy
The organizational hierarchy and contact information for the implementation of the measures specified in this SSMP are shown on Figure 3.1. A general description of those positions, as supplied by City staff, is provided in this section.
• Director of Public Works (Ted Gerber, 626-403-7240). The Director of Public Works, plans, manages, oversees, and directs the general organization, supervision, financial management, and efficient operation of the Public Works Department, which includes Streets, Parks, Facilities, Engineering, Water, Stormwater, Sewer, and Sustainability programs; coordinates activities with other City officials, departments, outside agencies, contractors, organizations and the public; provides responsible and complex staff support to the City Manager and City Council.

3.4 Chain of Communication for Reporting SSOs
The City has developed procedures for responding to SSOs as discussed in Chapter 7 of the SSMP. The City’s Sewage Spill Response Procedures (SSRP), shown in Appendix D, contains the procedures utilized by the City to notify the primary SSO response crews.

3.4.1 SWRCB Category 1 SSO Reporting Procedure
Order No. 2006-0003 specifies certain requirements for the reporting of SSOs. The City intends to comply with these requirements. Upon notification that a SSO has occurred, an initial report will be prepared and submitted through CIWQS. This initial report will be submitted as soon as is practicable, but no later than three business days after the City has been made aware of the SSO.

The initial report is then expanded and updated if new information on the overflow is made available. Upon review of the updated report by the City’s authorized representative, it is finalized and certified on CIWQS. This final certification will be completed as soon as possible, but no later than 15 calendar days of the conclusion of SSO response and remediation.

The above reporting requirements do not preclude other emergency notification requirements and timeframes mandated by other regulatory agencies (local County Health Officers, local Director of Environmental Health, Regional Water Boards, or OES or State Law).

3.4.2 SWRCB Category 2 SSO Reporting Procedure
The requirements for the reporting of Category 2 spills by the SWRCB are far less stringent than the Category 1 requirements. Upon notification that a Category 2 spill has occurred, all information relating to that spill is gathered. Once all the data on the spill is available, a spill report is completed through CIWQS. The report is then reviewed by the City’s authorized representative and submitted on CIWQS. This report will be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the end of the calendar month in which the SSO occurs.

3.4.3 Private Lateral SSO Reporting Procedure
If there is a private lateral SSO it may be reported at the discretion of the Public Works Director.

If the private lateral SSO is reported in the SSO Database, the City must identify sewage 3-4 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
23 - 29
CHAPTER 3 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 3-5
discharge as occurring and caused by a private lateral and a responsible party (not the City) should be identified.

3.4.4 Monthly SSO Reporting Procedure
If there are no SSOs during the calendar month, the City will provide, within 30 days after the end of each calendar month, a statement through the Online SSO Database certifying that there were no SSOs for the month. If the SSO Online Database is not available, the City must fax all required information to the appropriate Regional Water Board office. Once the Online SSO Database is back online, the City must enter all required information as soon as practical. 23 - 30

CHAPTER 5 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 5-5

5.3 Wastewater Collection System Overview
This section provides a brief overview of the City’s wastewater collection system facilities shown on Figure 5.1. A detailed description of these facilities can be found in the One Water 2050 Plan. • Water Treatment Plants
- Most of the wastewater flows from the City’s wastewater collection system are routed to LACSD’s Whitter Narrows WRP but can be bypassed by Whittier Narrows and sent to the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant or sent to the Los Coyotes Water Reclamation Plant. These flows are conveyed to Hyperion Water Treatment Plant (HTP) via a 42-inch interceptor which runs through the center and east border of South Pasadena. Some flows on the southwest end of the City are routed to HTP in the City of Los Angeles. The City doesn’t own or operate a water treatment plant. • Gravity Mains
- The existing wastewater collection system consists of approximately 56 miles of sanitary sewer pipelines ranging in diameter from 6 inches to 18 inches which discharge into the LACSD’s owned sewer interceptors.
• Lift Station and Force Mains
- The City has one lift station located in Arroyo Park with one force main to pump the wastewater back to the gravity main along Arroyo Drive.

5.4 City Preventative Maintenance Program
The following subsections summarize the City’s existing maintenance activities with respect to the requirements of Order No. 2006-0003.

5.4.1 Sanitary Sewer Main Line Cleaning
The City has developed a preventative maintenance program in order to manage and operate its wastewater collection facilities more efficiently. This program consists of an annual cleaning of the City’s wastewater collection system using hydro jetting. Each month the City’s Streets Supervisor develops a sewer cleaning map to track and plan the cleaning of the City’s wastewater collection system. An example of the annual cleaning map for 2021 is presented in Appendix F.

5.4.2 CCTV Program
The City contracts closed circuit television (CCTV) inspections approximately generally every 5 to 10 years to analyze the sewer collection system which helps determine locations in need of maintenance.

5.4.3 Lift Station Maintenance Program
The City inspects its only sanitary sewer lift station on a monthly basis. Any issues uncovered during these inspections are addressed as soon as possible to ensure that the City’s lift station is operating correctly.

5.5 Rehabilitation and Replacement Plan
Replacement and rehabilitation of deteriorated and capacity limited facilities is coordinated through the City’s CIP.

In 2020 and 2021, the City had CCTV performed for their entire sanitary sewer system. The CCTV program had structural rating score assigned to each pipe based on the National Association of 23 - 42
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 5 5-6 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP). In the NASSCO PACP system, there are 5 levels of deficiencies, with Level 5 being the worst condition.

The structural sewer pipe ratings were broken into 5 categories:
• Very Poor: Very poor pipes had two level 5 deficiencies or 20 level 4 deficiencies. • Poor: Poor pipes had six level 4 deficiencies.
• Mediocre: Mediocre pipes had a rating of two level 4 deficiencies or 20 level 3 deficiencies.
• Average: Average pipes had two level 3 deficiencies or 20 level 2 deficiencies. • Good: Good pipes had a one level 3 deficiency or less than 20 level 2 deficiencies.

The CCTV structural score ratings are summarized in Table 8.5 of the One Water 2050 Plan. The structural ratings for each pipe segment are presented on Figure 8.7 of the One Water 2050 Plan.

The Poor, Very Poor, and Mediocre pipes were reviewed, and the following existing and future system improvements were recommended:

Existing System:
• There were 18 projects recommended for sewer pipes with Poor and Very Poor pipeline PACP structural scores.
• 8,900 feet of pipeline with Mediocre PACP scores are estimated to need replacement or rehabilitation.

Future System:
• Consider existing costs of rehabilitation and replacement carry into the future to budget for remediation of aging pipelines.

As part of the One Water 2050 Plan, a CIP and schedule were developed with a planning horizon of 2050. Table 9.2 lists the CIP and schedule for improvements that were included in the One Water 2050 Plan. As shown in Table 9.2, the total wastewater collection systems CIP is estimated to be approximately 14.6 million dollars. More details on the wastewater collection systems CIP can be found in the One Water 2050 Plan. A summary of the City’s wastewater CIP is presented on Figure 5.2 and a list of CIP projects is presented in Table 5.1. 23 - 43

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 5 5-8 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
The City will repair immediate problems in their wastewater collection system; however, they do not directly install, rehabilitate, or replace their wastewater system. Instead, the City bids out sewer projects to outside party(s) who are managed by City staff.

5.6 Staff Training
The City trains its maintenance workers through a combination of formal and informal training through workshops. Maintenance workers receive a minimum of two workshops per year. These workshops are taught through vendors and professional organizations.

Additionally, the higher-level maintenance workers are responsible for training the lower level maintenance workers on work practices and procedures. Lower level maintenance workers thereby gain valuable experience by working under and learning from the more experienced workers.

All new staff are trained on City standard operating procedures for equipment use and tasks upon hire. Specialty training on specific safety programs is provided annually.

5.7 Equipment and Replacement Part Inventories
As the City doesn’t directly install, rehabilitate, or replace their wastewater system, the City does not keep spare parts in their inventories.

Chapter 6

DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE PROVISIONS
This chapter presents a summary of the City's design and construction standards, as well as its standards for the inspection and testing of new sewers, pumps, and other appurtenances and for rehabilitation projects.

6.1 Regulatory Requirement
Order No. 2006-0003 specifies that a SSMP must include the following:
• Design and construction standards and specifications for the installation of new sanitary sewer systems, pump stations, and other appurtenances; and for the rehabilitation and repair of existing sanitary sewer systems.
• Procedures and standards for inspecting and testing the installation of new sewers, pumps, and other appurtenances and for rehabilitation and repair projects.

6.2 Design Standards and Specifications
The City currently doesn’t have a set of Standard Specifications and Drawings; however, the City is in the process of creating these drawings. The drawings will contain the City’s requirements for the design and construction of sanitary sewer facilities. Design criteria for wastewater facilities is included as part of the One Water 2050 Plan.

6.2.1 Design Requirements
This section summarizes the City’s sewer design requirements as presented in the One Water 2050 Plan. For a more detailed account of the City’s design requirements, refer to Chapter 4 of the City’s One Water 2050 Plan.

6.2.1.1 Mainline Size
The minimum pipe diameter for public collection sewers in the City is 8 inches, unless a smaller pipeline size is authorized by the City When sizing new sewer pipelines, it is common practice to adopt variable flow depth criteria for various pipe sizes. Design depth of flow to pipe diameter ratio (d/D) ratios typically range from 0.5 to 0.92, with the lower values typically used for smaller pipes, which may experience flow peaks greater than design flow or blockages from debris, paper, or rags. For pipelines 8-inches in diameter and smaller, the maximum d/D value is 0.67 or 67 percent of the pipeline depth. For pipelines 12-inches and larger, the maximum d/D is 0.75.

6.2.1.2 Manning’s Coefficient
The Manning coefficient ‘n’ is a friction coefficient and varies with respect to pipe material, size of pipe, depth of flow, smoothness of joints, root intrusion, and other factors. The assumptions in the One Water 2050 Plan specify that a Manning’s roughness coefficient (n) of 0.013 be used for the design of sewer facilities in the City.
23 - 48
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 6 6-2 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT

6.2.1.3 Design Velocities and Minimum Slope
To minimize the settlement of sewage solids, it is standard practice in the design of gravity sewers to specify that a minimum velocity of 2 feet per second (fps) be maintained when the pipeline is half-full. At this velocity, the sewer flow will typically provide self-cleaning for the pipe. Due to hydraulics of a circular conduit, velocity of half-full flow in pipes approaches the velocity of nearly full flow in pipes. Table 6.1 lists the recommended minimum slopes and their corresponding maximum flows for maintaining self-cleaning velocities (equal to or greater than 2 fps) when the pipe is flowing at its maximum depth (d/D ratio).

6.2.1.4 Minimum Cover
The minimum cover for sewer pipes is seven feet. City approval must be obtained if a shallower depth is needed. Additionally, the City may require greater cover depths, if necessary, to extend the sewer to other areas.

12 0.0024
15 0.0017
18 0.0014
21 0.0011
24 0.0010

6.2.1.5 Manhole Requirements
The following summarizes the City’s requirements for the installation of sanitary sewer manholes:
• Manholes must be installed at all changes in pipe slope, diameter, alignment, and all intersections of main sewers.
• The maximum manhole spacing is 400 feet. For curved sewers, the maximum spacing is 300 feet.
• The minimum drop across a manhole for pipes with less than a 7.5 percent slope is

0.10 feet. For pipe slopes greater than 7.5 percent, the following equation is used:

𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 𝐷𝐷 = (𝑆𝑆1 + 𝑆𝑆2)(𝐷𝐷1 + 𝐷𝐷2)
Where:

S1 = Invert slope entering manhole, feet/feet
S2 = Invert slope leaving manhole, feet/feet
D1 = Diameter of inlet pipe
D2 = Diameter of outlet pipe
• When a smaller sewer joins a larger one, the crown elevations should be matched. • The City must approve drop manholes for pipe sizes over 15 inches. • The minimum inside diameter of a manhole is 48 inches (4 feet). 23 - 49
CHAPTER 6 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 6-3
• Five-foot diameter manholes are required when sewer depths are greater than 12 feet, when more than two sewer mains or laterals are connected to the manhole, and for pipe sizes greater than 18 inches.
• Manholes connected to steeply sloped pipes shall be polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-lined and provided with a sealed lid.
• Manholes in non-paved areas must have a 10-foot by 10-foot paved area surrounding them.

6.2.1.6 Other Miscellaneous Considerations
The City’s design standards identify other requirements for the design of sanitary sewer facilities. These include requirements for the horizontal alignment of sewers, the requirements for curved sewers, service laterals, inverted siphons, easements, and CCTV inspection. Final inspection of all sewer lines is performed using CCTV. The contractor shall repair, at its own expense, any defects, should they be observed, to the satisfaction of the City.

6.2.2 Inspection Requirements
The City requires new sewer connections to obtain a permit from Public Works and undergo an inspection by City sewer staff prior to completion of the installation.

6.2.3 Standard Drawings
The City currently doesn’t have a set of Standard Specifications and Drawings; however, the City is in the process of creating these drawings. The City’s sewer standard drawings will be included in the next update to this SSMP.

CHAPTER 7 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSMP) | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 7-1
Chapter 7

OVERFLOW EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
This chapter contains a description of the City’s overflow emergency response plan that serves to provide measures to protect the public health and the environment in the event of an overflow.

7.1 Regulatory Requirements
Order No. 2006-0003 specifies that a SSMP must include an Overflow Emergency Response Program that includes, at a minimum, the following:
• Proper notification procedures so that the primary responders and regulatory agencies are informed of all SSOs in a timely manner.
• A program to ensure an appropriate response to all overflows. • 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 reporting program (MRP), the California Water Code, other State Law, and other applicable Regional Water Board waste discharge requirements (WDRs) or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Program (NPDES) permit requirements. The SSMP should identify the officials who will receive immediate notification.
• Procedures to ensure that appropriate staff and contractor personnel are aware of and follow the Emergency Response Plan and are appropriately trained. • Procedures to address emergency operations, such as traffic and crowd control and other necessary response activities.
• A program to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to contain and prevent discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater to waters of the United States and to minimize or correct any adverse impact of 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.

7.2 Sewer Spill Response Plan
The City has prepared a SSRP, which provides information on procedures to be followed by City staff in the event of a SSO (Appendix D).

7.3 Primary Notification Procedures
Section 3 of the City’s SSRP contains the procedures that the City follows in the event of a SSO.

This includes the procedures utilized during normal working hours, as well as weekends, holidays, and after hours. These procedures are included in Appendix D and are summarized in Section 3.4 of this SSMP.
23 - 52
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 7

7.4 SSO Response Plan
The City’s SSRP contains procedures that are used to promote an appropriate response to SSOs that occur within the City’s service boundary. Figure 7.1 is a flow chart that response crews follow while responding to a SSO. This flow chart is provided in the SSRP and provides a general response procedure for SSO response teams. In general, the field responder’s duties are grouped into the following categories:
• First Responder Responsibilities.
• Identify and Relieve the Cause of the Spill.
• Spill Containment and Recovery.
• Cleanup and Disinfection.
• Spill Documentation.

A detailed description of individual tasks to be performed by the response crew is included in Appendix D.

7.5 Notification of Regulatory Agencies
If a SSO has occurred, the Maintenance Superintendent starts to notify the appropriate regulatory agencies and other impacted agencies in accordance with the City’s SSRP (Appendix D).

Notification of the SWRCB is performed through the CIWQS. On CIWQS, the SSO reporting procedure is dependent upon the type and volume of spill that has occurred. The City is required to use this reporting system to submit SSO spill reports, should they occur, or no spill certification reports. A description of the Category 1 and Category 2 SSO reporting procedure is provided in Appendix D and is summarized in the flow chart on Figures 7.2a and 7.2b.

7.6 Emergency Response Plan Awareness and Training
Section 7 of the City’s SSRP stipulates that appropriate City personnel, including management, collection systems, wastewater treatment, engineering, and public information personnel, receive a copy of the SSRP and be informed and trained on its provisions.

Appendix D of the City’s SSRP identifies steps to be taken by the City’s SSO response crew. The first responder to a SSO should take steps to establish an appropriate perimeter around the spill site. This will prevent disruption of the response crew by vehicle traffic, pedestrians, and other factors that may interrupt the crew’s ability to effectively respond to a SSO.

7.7 SSO Surface Water Impact Mitigation Program
Should a SSO result in a discharge to the waters of the United States, the City should take all feasible steps to avoid the degradation of this body of water. These steps will vary on a case-by-case basis.

FOGCONTROL PROGRAM
This chapter discusses the need for a FOG control program. The purpose of such a program is to limit the amount of fats, oils, and greases that enter the collection system to the extent feasible.

8.1 Regulatory Requirements
Order No 2006-0003 specifies that each SSMP must include an evaluation of the service area of the City to determine whether a FOG control program is needed. If no FOG program is needed, justification for why it is not needed must be provided. If FOG is considered to be a problem, a FOG source control program must be prepared and implemented, including the following as appropriate:
• An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that promotes the proper disposal of FOG.
• A plan and schedule for the disposal of FOG generated within the sanitary sewer system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal facilities and/or additional facilities needed to adequately dispose of FOG generated within a sanitary sewer system service area.
• The legal authority to prohibit discharges into the system and identify measures to prevent SSOs and blockages caused by FOG.
• 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.
• Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and whether the Enrollee has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the FOG ordinance. • An identification of sanitary sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages and establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section. • Development and implementation of source control measures for all sources of FOG discharged into the sanitary sewer system.

8.2 FOG Control Plan
Based on discussions with City staff familiar with the operation and management of the City’s wastewater collection systems, it has been determined that FOG is not a major maintenance issue for the City. The City has not identified any specific areas in the system that are routinely affected by FOG, and in areas where FOG is encountered, it is usually due to another problem, such as root intrusion. For this reason, it is concluded that a formal FOG Control Plan is not necessary. The City, however, has already implemented several FOG control measures, which are discussed in the following section.
23 - 58
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 8 8-2 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
Should the City identify FOG as a major maintenance issue in the future, steps would be taken to study the effects of FOG in the City more thoroughly and prepare and develop a formal FOG Control Plan. Such a program would likely consist of source control measures, inspection of FOG producing facilities, requiring grease interceptor maintenance records be submitted to the City, FOG outreach programs, and BMP requirements.

8.3 Existing FOG Control Measures
The City’s existing FOG control provisions are presented in Section 30 Article II of the City’s Municipal Code (Appendix E). This article establishes a FOG Control Program for the City.

Section 30 Article II includes Sections 30.20 through 30.37 which state:
"ARTICLE II. FOG CONTROL PROGRAM

30.20 FOG discharge requirement.

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 8 8-6 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT

30.30 Best management practices required.

All FSEs shall implement best management practices in its operation to minimize the discharge of FOG to the sewer system.
(a) Installation of Drain Screens. Drain screens shall be installed on all draining pipes in food preparation areas. Clean drain screens frequently by placing the collected material in the garbage.
(b) Disposal of Food Waste. All food waste shall be disposed of directly into the trash or garbage and not in sinks.
(c) Segregation and Collection of Waste Cooking Oil. Licensed waste haulers or an approved recycling facility must be used to dispose of waste cooking oil. (d) Maintenance of Kitchen Exhaust Filters. Filters shall be cleaned as frequently as necessary to be maintained in good operating condition. The wastewater generated from cleaning the exhaust filters shall be disposed properly. (e) Kitchen Signage. Best management and waste minimization practices shall be posted conspicuously in the food preparation and dishwashing areas at all times. (f) Employee Training. Employees of the food service establishment shall be trained by ownership within one hundred eighty days of notification, and twice each calendar year thereafter, on the following subjects:
(1) How to “dry wipe” pots, pans, dishware, and work area before washing to remove grease.
(2) How to properly dispose of food waste and solids in enclosed plastic bags prior to disposal in trash bins or containers to prevent leaking and odors. (3) The location and use of absorption products to clean under fryer baskets and other locations where grease may be spilled or dripped.
(4) How to properly dispose of grease or oils from cooking equipment into a grease receptacle such as a barrel or drum without spilling.

23 - 63
CHAPTER 8 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSMP) | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 8-7

30.32 FOG pretreatment required for new construction of food service establishments.

All new construction of food service establishments and those undergoing a significant remodel shall install a grease interceptor prior to commencing discharge of wastewater to sewer system. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

30.33 Variance and waiver of grease interceptor requirement. (a) Variance from Grease Interceptor Requirements. A variance or a conditional waiver from the grease interceptor requirements on such terms and conditions as may be established by the director, consistent with the requirements of the sewer WDRs, the city’s FOG control program, and best construction, engineering, environmental and health and safety practices, to: (1) allow alternative pretreatment technology that is, at least, equally effective in controlling the FOG discharge in lieu of a grease interceptor, may be granted by the director to FSEs demonstrating to the director’s satisfaction that it is impossible to install, operate or maintain a grease interceptor. or (2) where the FSE demonstrates to the director’s satisfaction that any FOG discharge from the FSE is negligible and will have an insignificant impact to the sewer system. (b) Waiver from Grease Interceptor Installation with a Grease Disposal Mitigation Fee.

For FSEs where the installation of grease interceptor is not feasible and no equivalent alternative pretreatment can be installed, a waiver from the grease interceptor requirement may be granted with the imposition of a grease disposal mitigation fee as described in section 30.34. The director’s determination to grant the waiver with a grease disposal mitigation fee will be based upon such considerations that the director determines to be appropriate and consistent with the sewer WDRs, the city’s FOG control program, and best construction, engineering, environmental and health and safety practices. Provided, however, that a grease interceptor will be installed when the FSE undergoes a significant remodel. No discretionary permit, including but not limited to a conditional use permit, shall be issued to a FSE unless the applicant can demonstrate that a grease interceptor has been or will be installed at the FSE. (c) Application for Waiver or Variance of Requirement for Grease Interceptor. A FSE may submit an application for waiver or variance from the grease interceptor requirement to the director. Terms and conditions for issuance of a variance to a FSE shall be set forth in the permit. A waiver or variance may be revoked at any time when any of the terms and conditions for its issuance is not satisfied or if the conditions upon which the waiver was based change so that the justification for the waiver no longer exists. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

30.34 Grease disposal mitigation fee.
(a) FSEs that operate without a grease control interceptor may be required to pay an annual grease disposal mitigation fee to equitably cover the costs of increased maintenance and administration of the sewer system as a result of the FSEs’ inability to adequately remove FOG from its wastewater discharge. This section shall not be interpreted to allow a new FSE, or existing FSEs undergoing remodeling or change in operations, to operate without an approved grease interceptor unless the director has 23 - 64
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 8 8-8 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
determined that it is impossible to install or operate a grease control interceptor for the FSE under the provisions of this chapter.
(b) The grease disposal mitigation fee shall be established by resolution of the city council, and shall be based on the estimated annual increased cost of maintaining the sewer system for inspection and removal of FOG and other viscous or solidifying agents attributable to the FSE resulting from the lack of a grease interceptor or grease control device and such other costs that the city council considers appropriate. (c) The grease disposal mitigation fee may not be waived or reduced when the FSE does not comply with the minimum requirements of this chapter. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

30.35 Grease interceptor maintenance requirements.
(a) Grease interceptors shall be maintained in efficient operating condition by periodic removal of the full content of the interceptor which includes wastewater, accumulated FOG, floating materials, sludge and solids.
(b) Wastewater, accumulated FOG, floating material, sludge/solids, and other materials removed from the grease interceptor shall be disposed off site properly by waste haulers in accordance with federal, state and/or local laws. (c) Grease interceptors shall be fully pumped out and cleaned on a quarterly basis. The agency may change the maintenance frequency at any time to reflect changes in actual operating conditions in accordance with the FOG control program. Based on the actual generation of FOG from the food service establishment, the maintenance frequency may increase or decrease.
(d) The permittee shall be required to keep all documents identified by the director relating to its compliance with this chapter, including manifests, receipts and invoices of all cleaning, maintenance, grease removal of/from the grease control device, disposal carrier and disposal site location for no less than two years. The permittee shall, upon request, make the manifests, receipts and invoices available to any city representative, or inspector.
(e) If the grease interceptor, at any time, contains excess FOG and solids accumulation the FSE shall be required to have the grease interceptor serviced immediately such that all fats, oils, grease, sludge, and other materials are completely removed from the grease interceptor. If deemed necessary, the director may also increase the maintenance frequency of the grease interceptor from the current frequency. (Ord.

No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

30.36 FOG inspections.

The director, or representative, shall be authorized at any reasonable time to enter the premises of any discharger to determine compliance with the provisions of this chapter.

Such inspection may include but not be limited to: inspection, sampling, monitoring, review, photograph, videotape and copy of any records, reports, test results or other data, wastes, chemicals, storage areas, storage containers, waste generating processes, treatment facilities and discharge locations. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.) 23 - 65
CHAPTER 8 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSMP) | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 8-9

30.37 FOG inspections fees.

The amount of FOG inspections fee shall be established by resolution of the city council as amended from time to time in accordance with provisions of this chapter. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)"

SYSTEM EVALUATION AND

CAPACITY ASSURANCE PLAN
This chapter provides an evaluation of the City's sanitary sewer system facilities, identifies and proposes improvements for deficiencies, identifies design criteria, and provides a CIP and schedule for improvements.

9.1 Regulatory Requirement
Order No. 2006-0003 requires that the City prepare and implement a CIP that will provide hydraulic capacity for peak dry weather flows as well as the appropriate design storm or wet weather event. According to Order No. 2006-0003, the SSMP must address, at a minimum, the following:
• Evaluation. Actions needed to evaluate those portions of sanitary sewer system that are experiencing or contributing to a 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.
• Design Criteria. Where design criteria do not exist or are deficient, undertake the evaluation identified above to establish appropriate design criteria. • Capacity Enhancement Measures. The steps needed to establish a short- and long-term 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.
• Schedule. The Enrollee shall develop a schedule of completion dates for all portions of the CIP developed above. The schedule shall be reviewed and updated consistent with the SSMP review and update requirements as described in Section D.14 (of Order 2006-0003).

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 9

9.2 System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan
The City contracted Carollo to complete a One Water 2050 Plan, which included update of this SSMP. The City’s One Water 2050 Plan contains the following elements pertinent to the City’s wastewater collection system:
• Chapter 1 - Introduction.
• Chapter 2 - Study Area Land Use, and Population.
• Chapter 3 – Water Demands and Wastewater Flow Forecasts. • Chapter 4 – System Evaluation Criteria.
• Chapter 8 – Wastewater Collection System Analysis.
• Chapter 10 – Capital Improvement Plan.

The elements of the One Water 2050 Plan that are required through Order No. 2006-0003 have been summarized in the following subsections.

9.2.1 Analysis Method
The City’s wastewater collection systems were analyzed as part of the One Water 2050 Plan with the aid of computer hydraulic modeling software. There is an abundance of sewer analysis software in the marketplace today, with a variety of features and capabilities. The selection of a particular model generally depends on user preferences, software costs, and the complexity of the sewer system. It was agreed that InfoSWMM, would be used to assemble the City’s hydraulic model. InfoSWMM is a fully dynamic, wastewater and stormwater modeling software application. This program includes seamless integration with the City’s GIS data.

9.2.2 Planning and Design Criteria
The One Water 2050 Plan established several criteria to model and evaluate the City’s wastewater collection systems. This section summarizes the most important planning criteria that were used in the One Water 2050 Plan.

9.2.2.1 Flow Assumptions
Chapter 3 of the One Water 2050 Plan provides the following wastewater flow summary:
• Current indoor residential water use is approximately 60 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) and all of this indoor water use is eventually converted into wastewater flows. • 80 percent of commercial water use is carried through to the wastewater collection system.
• Park irrigation accounts for approximately 67 percent of government water use.

Applying the 60 gpcd indoor water use factor to the existing population of 26,297 results in a total residential wastewater flow of 1.58 million gallons per day (mgd). Applying the 80 percent indoor water use factor to the current commercial water demand of 377 acre-feet per year (afy) yields a total commercial wastewater flow of 0.27 mgd. Currently government demand is 73 afy.

Assuming 67 percent of this water is used for parks, applying the 80 percent indoor water use factor to the remaining demand yields a total government wastewater flow of 0.02 mgd. The combined estimated average dry weather flow (ADWF) is 1.86 mgd. 9-2 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
23 - 69
CHAPTER 9 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSMP) | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 9-3
The peak wet weather flow (PWWF) is the highest hourly flow that occurs during the wet weather season. The PWWF is typically used for designing the capacity of the sewer system.

Without the ability to calculate PWWF from flow data, a wet weather peaking factor of 2.5 is recommended based on other wastewater systems in Southern California. Thus, the combined estimated PWWF is 4.66 mgd.

9.2.2.2 Gravity Sewers
The City’s gravity sewers were analyzed in accordance with the criteria established in the following subsections.

9.2.2.1.1 Pipe Capacities
Pipe capacities for gravity sewers were determined through the use of the Continuity Equation and Manning’s Equation for steady-state flow. The Continuity and Manning’s Equation are presented as follows:

Continuity Equation:

Q = VA
Where:

Q = peak flow, cfs
V = velocity, fps
A = cross sectional area of pipe, sq. ft.

Manning’s Equation:
n
.1 486 SR V 2
1 3
2 =
Where:

V = velocity, fps
n = Manning’s coefficient of friction
R = hydraulic radius (area divided by wetted perimeter), ft S = slope of pipe, feet per foot

9.2.2.1.2 Manning Coefficient (n)
The Manning coefficient ‘n’ is a friction coefficient and varies with respect to pipe material, size of pipe, depth of flow, smoothness of joints, root intrusion, and other factors. A value of 0.013 was used for gravity sewers in the master planning effort.

9.2.2.1.3 Flow Depth Criteria (d/D)
When designing sewer pipelines, it is common practice to adopt variable flow depth criteria for various pipe sizes. This criterion is expressed as a maximum depth of flow to pipe diameter ratio (d/D). Design d/D ratios typically range from 0.5 to 0.92, with the lower values typically used for smaller pipes, which may experience peak flows greater than the design flow or blockages from debris, paper, or rags. Table 9.1 summarizes the d/D ratios used for planning future trunk sizes.

According to Table 9.1, all new sewer trunks greater than 12 inches in diameter should be sized to carry the design flow at a maximum d/D ratio of 2/3. However, utilizing a d/D ratio of 2/3 for analyzing the existing wastewater collection system may lead to premature or unnecessary 23 - 70
/ /
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 9 9-4 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
replacement of existing pipelines. Therefore, a d/D ratio of 0.92 (pipe flowing full) was utilized to evaluate the City’s existing sewer system.

Table 9.1 Master Plan Maximum d/D Ratio
Pipe Diameter
(inches)
Maximum d/D Ratio
(during peak flows)
12 and smaller (New Sewers) 1/2
Larger than 12 (New Sewers) 2/3
All Diameters (Existing Pipes) 0.92

9.2.2.1.4 Changes in Pipe Size
For the master planning effort, and in the absence of field data, sewer crowns were matched at the manholes when a smaller sewer joined a larger sewer.

9.2.2.1.5 Design Velocities and Minimum Slopes
According to the City’s design requirements in the One Water 2050 Plan, sewers must be designed and constructed such that the mean velocity during design peak flow conditions is greater than 2 fps. The maximum allowable velocity for gravity sewers is 10 fps.

Table 9.2 lists the minimum slopes that were used for planning future improvements. These values are based on the City’s One Water 2050 Plan.

Table 9.2 Minimum Slopes for New Circular Pipes

12 0.0024
15 0.0017
18 0.0014
21 0.0011
24 0.0010

9.2.2.3 Lift Stations and Force Mains
As part of the master planning effort, the City’s lift stations were evaluated and sized for peak flow with the largest pump serving as standby. For the sizing of force mains, the minimum and maximum recommended velocities are 2.0 and 6.5 fps, respectively. The Hazen-Williams formula is commonly used for the sizing of force mains. The Velocity Equation is:

V = 1.32 C R0.63 S0.54
Where:

V = mean velocity, fps
C = roughness coefficient
R = hydraulic radius, ft
S = slope of the energy grade line, ft/ft
23 - 71
CHAPTER 9 | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSMP) | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | 9-5
The value of the Hazen-Williams ‘C’ varies with the type of pipe material. This value is influenced by the type of construction and age of the pipe. A ‘C’ value of 130 was used as part of the master planning effort.

9.2.3 Capacity Evaluation
To identify existing and future system deficiencies, the City’s hydraulic model was developed using InfoSWMM. In order to accomplish this, the City’s GIS data was imported into InfoSWMM.

Wastewater flow projections were then developed based on the water demand data available from the One Water 2050 Plan in five-year increments through the year 2050. Wastewater loads were then applied to the appropriate City manholes.

The existing wastewater collection systems were evaluated according to the planning and design criteria summarized in this chapter. No deficient facilities were identified, and therefore, there are no recommendations associated with capacity deficiencies. 23 - 72

Chapter 10

MONITORING, MEASUREMENT, AND

PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS
This chapter presents a summary of the steps to be taken by the City to evaluate the effectiveness of this SSMP and update it should improvements be necessary or desirable.

10.1 Regulatory Requirement
Order No. 2006-0003 specifies that the City shall:
• Maintain relevant information that can be used to establish and prioritize appropriate SSMP activities.
• Monitor the implementation and, where appropriate, measure the effectiveness of each element of the SSMP.
• Assess the success of the preventative maintenance program. • Update program elements, as appropriate, based on monitoring or performance evaluations.
• Identify and illustrate SSO trends, including frequency, location, and volume.

10.2 SSMP Information Maintenance Program
The City should maintain information that is appropriate to the SSMP in a way that is convenient and easily accessible to those individuals involved with the SSMP. This information should be recorded or stored in the appropriate format so that conclusions and trends related to SSOs and the performance of the SSMP can be easily tracked.

It is recommended that the City develop a database to store and analyze information related to the SSMP, which can be accomplished through simple Microsoft® Excel based spreadsheets, GIS techniques, or other means.

The recommended SSMP database would track a few key performance indicators that could be used to measure the progress of the SSMP implementation and the performance of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system. Some key performance indicators that should be considered for tracking by the City are:
• Number of service calls, blockages, and SSOs over a one-year period. • SSO events by cause.
• SSO events by category (i.e., Category 1, Category 2, or Private Lateral Sewage Discharge).
• Volume of SSOs and volume contained.
• Volume of sewage that reached surface waters.
• SSO events by location within the City.
23 - 74
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CHAPTER 10

10.3 SSMP Implementation Monitoring
To accurately gauge the progress of the SSMP and its successes or failures in preventing SSOs, this plan recommends that the City monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the SSMP elements. The City should maintain all records related to SSMP programs in a common location that is known to all City staff members that are involved in these programs. This should include all records related to the maintenance of the system, SSO field reports, CIWQS reports, and other relevant information.

This plan recommends that the City assign a key staff member, or a group of staff members, to perform interim evaluations of the effectiveness of the SSMP based on the key performance indicators established in Section 10.2 of this report. This evaluation should occur at some predetermined interval, such as bi-annually or annually, and more often as necessary. The purpose of these interim evaluations is to establish the overall trend of the key performance indicators. The conclusions of these evaluations should be kept on record and used for program updates and audits.

10.4 Preventative Maintenance Program Evaluation
This plan recommends that the City assess the success of the PM program periodically similar to the procedure outlined in Section 10.3 of this report. Appropriate staff members should be designated to perform an evaluation of the City’s PM program at some predetermined interval.

The City’s designees should evaluate where the City’s PM program can be improved in order to maximize the efficiency of the system. The conclusions of these evaluations should be kept on record and used for program updates and audits.

10.5 SSMP Program Update
Updates to the City’s SSMP programs should be performed based on the results of the interim evaluations on these programs, as well as the two-year program audits discussed in Chapter 11 of this report. All program updates and modifications should be approved by the City’s Authorized Representatives and incorporated into the SSMP report, when necessary. If there are major changes to the SSMP, it needs to be re-certified by City’s Authorized Representative on CIWQS. At a minimum, the City shall update and re-certify the SSMP once every five years.

10.6 SSO Trends
To optimize the performance of the City’s wastewater collection systems, it is necessary to identify any SSO trends that may exist. Through the identification of such trends, the City may find capacity deficiencies, areas of the system in need of increased maintenance, or SSO or FOG “Hot Spots.” The City currently has mapped historical SSOs. This map should be expanded upon whenever a new spill occurs and used to identify SSO trends.

In addition, this plan recommends that the City keep copies of the CIWQS SSO reports on file for use by the City in the identification of SSO trends, as these reports contain very detailed information on specific spills that is not practical to maintain on other databases. 10-2 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT

STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
ORDER NO. 2006-0003-DWQ

STATEWIDE GENERAL WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS FOR SANITARY

SEWER SYSTEMS
The State Water Resources Control Board, hereinafter referred to as “State Water Board”, finds that:

1. All federal and state agencies, municipalities, counties, districts, and other public entities that own or operate sanitary sewer systems greater than one mile in length that collect and/or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility in the State of California are required to comply with the terms of this Order. Such entities are hereinafter referred to as “Enrollees”.

2. Sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) are overflows from sanitary sewer systems of domestic wastewater, as well as industrial and commercial wastewater, depending on the pattern of land uses in the area served by the sanitary sewer system. SSOs often contain high levels of suspended solids, pathogenic organisms, toxic pollutants, nutrients, oxygen-demanding organic compounds, oil and grease and other pollutants.

SSOs may cause a public nuisance, particularly when raw untreated wastewater is discharged to areas with high public exposure, such as streets or surface waters used for drinking, fishing, or body contact recreation. SSOs may pollute surface or ground waters, threaten public health, adversely affect aquatic life, and impair the recreational use and aesthetic enjoyment of surface waters.

3. Sanitary sewer systems experience periodic failures resulting in discharges that may affect waters of the state. There are many factors (including factors related to geology, design, construction methods and materials, age of the system, population growth, and system operation and maintenance), which affect the likelihood of an SSO. A proactive approach that requires Enrollees to ensure a system-wide operation, maintenance, and management plan is in place will reduce the number and frequency of SSOs within the state. This approach will in turn decrease the risk to human health and the environment caused by SSOs.

4. Major causes of SSOs include: grease blockages, root blockages, sewer line flood damage, manhole structure failures, vandalism, pump station mechanical failures, power outages, excessive storm or ground water inflow/infiltration, debris blockages, sanitary sewer system age and construction material failures, lack of proper operation and maintenance, insufficient capacity and contractor- caused damages. Many SSOs are preventable with adequate and appropriate facilities, source control measures and operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system. 23 - 86

SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLANS

5. To facilitate proper funding and management of sanitary sewer systems, each Enrollee must develop and implement a system-specific Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). To be effective, SSMPs must include provisions to provide proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance of sanitary sewer systems, while taking into consideration risk management and cost benefit analysis. Additionally, an SSMP must contain a spill response plan that establishes standard procedures for immediate response to an SSO in a manner designed to minimize water quality impacts and potential nuisance conditions.

6. Many local public agencies in California have already developed SSMPs and implemented measures to reduce SSOs. These entities can build upon their existing efforts to establish a comprehensive SSMP consistent with this Order.

Others, however, still require technical assistance and, in some cases, funding to improve sanitary sewer system operation and maintenance in order to reduce SSOs.

7. SSMP certification by technically qualified and experienced persons can provide a useful and cost-effective means for ensuring that SSMPs are developed and implemented appropriately.

8. It is the State Water Board’s intent to gather additional information on the causes and sources of SSOs to augment existing information and to determine the full extent of SSOs and consequent public health and/or environmental impacts occurring in the State.

9. Both uniform SSO reporting and a centralized statewide electronic database are needed to collect information to allow the State Water Board and Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water Boards) to effectively analyze the extent of SSOs statewide and their potential impacts on beneficial uses and public health.

The monitoring and reporting program required by this Order and the attached Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 2006-0003-DWQ, are necessary to assure compliance with these waste discharge requirements (WDRs).

10. Information regarding SSOs must be provided to Regional Water Boards and other regulatory agencies in a timely manner and be made available to the public in a complete, concise, and timely fashion.

11. Some Regional Water Boards have issued WDRs or WDRs that serve as National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits to sanitary sewer system owners/operators within their jurisdictions. This Order establishes minimum requirements to prevent SSOs. Although it is the State Water Board’s intent that this Order be the primary regulatory mechanism for sanitary sewer systems statewide, Regional Water Boards may issue more stringent or more prescriptive WDRs for sanitary sewer systems. Upon issuance or reissuance of a Regional Water Board’s WDRs for a system subject to this Order, the Regional 23 - 87
Water Board shall coordinate its requirements with stated requirements within this Order, to identify requirements that are more stringent, to remove requirements that are less stringent than this Order, and to provide consistency in reporting.

REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

12. California Water Code section 13263 provides that the State Water Board may prescribe general WDRs for a category of discharges if the State Water Board finds or determines that:
· The discharges are produced by the same or similaroperations; · The discharges involve the same or similar types ofwaste; · The discharges require the same or similar treatment standards; and · The discharges are more appropriately regulated under general discharge requirements than individual dischargerequirements.

This Order establishes requirements for a class of operations, facilities, and discharges that are similar throughout the state.

13. The issuance of general WDRs to the Enrollees will:
a) Reduce the administrative burden of issuing individual WDRs to each Enrollee;
b) Provide for a unified statewide approach for the reporting and database tracking of SSOs;
c) Establish consistent and uniform requirements for SSMP development and implementation;
d) Provide statewide consistency in reporting; and
e) Facilitate consistent enforcement for violations.

14. The beneficial uses of surface waters that can be impaired by SSOs include, but are not limited to, aquatic life, drinking water supply, body contact and noncontact recreation, and aesthetics. The beneficial uses of ground water that can be impaired include, but are not limited to, drinking water and agricultural supply.

Surface and ground waters throughout the state support these uses to varying degrees.

15. The implementation of requirements set forth in this Order will ensure the reasonable protection of past, present, and probable future beneficial uses of water and the prevention of nuisance. The requirements implement the water quality control plans (Basin Plans) for each region and take into account the environmental characteristics of hydrographic units within the state. Additionally, the State Water Board has considered water quality conditions that could reasonably be achieved through the coordinated control of all factors that affect water quality in the area, costs associated with compliance with these 23 - 88
requirements, the need for developing housing within California, and the need to develop and use recycled water.

16. The Federal Clean Water Act largely prohibits any discharge of pollutants from a point source to waters of the United States except as authorized under an NPDES permit. In general, any point source discharge of sewage effluent to waters of the United States must comply with technology-based, secondary treatment standards, at a minimum, and any more stringent requirements necessary to meet applicable water quality standards and other requirements. Hence, the unpermitted discharge of wastewater from a sanitary sewer system to waters of the United States is illegal under the Clean Water Act. In addition, many Basin Plans adopted by the Regional Water Boards contain discharge prohibitions that apply to the discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater. Finally, the California Water Code generally prohibits the discharge of waste to land prior to the filing of any required report of waste discharge and the subsequent issuance of either WDRs or a waiver of WDRs.

17. California Water Code section 13263 requires a water board to, after any necessary hearing, prescribe requirements as to the nature of any proposed discharge, existing discharge, or material change in an existing discharge. The requirements shall, among other things, take into consideration the need to prevent nuisance.

18. California Water Code section 13050, subdivision (m), defines nuisance as anything which meets all of the following requirements:
a. Is injurious to health, or is indecent or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property.
b. Affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal.
c. Occurs during, or as a result of, the treatment or disposal of wastes.

19. This Order is consistent with State Water Board Resolution No. 68-16 (Statement of Policy with Respect to Maintaining High Quality of Waters in California) in that the Order imposes conditions to prevent impacts to water quality, does not allow the degradation of water quality, will not unreasonably affect beneficial uses of water, and will not result in water quality less than prescribed in State Water Board or Regional Water Board plans and policies.

20. The action to adopt this General Order is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §21000 et seq.) because it is an action taken by a regulatory agency to assure the protection of the environment and the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §15308). In addition, the action to adopt this Order is 23 - 89
exempt from CEQA pursuant to Cal.Code Regs., title 14, §15301 to the extent that it applies to existing sanitary sewer collection systems that constitute “existing facilities” as that term is used in Section 15301, and §15302, to the extent that it results in the repair or replacement of existing systems involving negligible or no expansion of capacity.

21. The Fact Sheet, which is incorporated by reference in the Order, contains supplemental information that was also considered in establishing these requirements.

22. The State Water Board has notified all affected public agencies and all known interested persons of the intent to prescribe general WDRs that require Enrollees to develop SSMPs and to report all SSOs.

23. The State Water Board conducted a public hearing on February 8, 2006, to receive oral and written comments on the draft order. The State Water Board received and considered, at its May 2, 2006, meeting, additional public comments on substantial changes made to the proposed general WDRs following the February 8, 2006, public hearing. The State Water Board has considered all comments pertaining to the proposed general WDRs.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that pursuant to California Water Code section 13263, the Enrollees, their agents, successors, and assigns, in order to meet the provisions contained in Division 7 of the California Water Code and regulations adopted hereunder, shall comply with the following:

A. DEFINITIONS

1. Sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) - Any overflow, spill, release, discharge or diversion of untreated or partially treated wastewater from a sanitary sewer system. SSOs include:
(i) Overflows or releases of untreated or partially treated wastewater that reach waters of the United States;
(ii) Overflows or releases of untreated or partially treated wastewater that do not reach waters of the United States; and
(iii) Wastewater backups into buildings and on private property that are caused by blockages or flow conditions within the publicly owned portion of a sanitary sewer system.

2. Sanitary sewer system – Any system of pipes, pump stations, sewer lines, or other conveyances, upstream of a wastewater treatment plant headworks used to collect and convey wastewater to the publicly owned treatment facility. Temporary storage and conveyance facilities (such as vaults, temporary piping, construction trenches, wet wells, impoundments, tanks, etc.) are considered to be part of the sanitary sewer system, and discharges into these temporary storage facilities are not considered to beSSOs.
23 - 90

3. Enrollee - A federal or state agency, municipality, county, district, and other public entity that owns or operates a sanitary sewer system, as defined in the general WDRs, and that has submitted a complete and approved application for coverage under this Order.

4. SSO Reporting System – Online spill reporting system that is hosted, controlled, and maintained by the State Water Board. The web address for this site is http://ciwqs.waterboards.ca.gov. This online database is maintained on a secure site and is controlled by unique usernames and passwords.

5. Untreated or partially treated wastewater – Any volume of waste discharged from the sanitary sewer system upstream of a wastewater treatment plant headworks.

6. Satellite collection system – The portion, if any, of a sanitary sewer system owned or operated by a different public agency than the agency that owns and operates the wastewater treatment facility to which the sanitary sewer system is tributary.

7. Nuisance - California Water Code section 13050, subdivision (m), defines nuisance as anything which meets all of the following requirements:
a. Is injurious to health, or is indecent or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property.
b. Affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal.
c. Occurs during, or as a result of, the treatment or disposal of wastes.

B. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Deadlines for Application – All public agencies that currently own or operate sanitary sewer systems within the State of California must apply for coverage under the general WDRs within six (6) months of the date of adoption of the general WDRs. Additionally, public agencies that acquire or assume responsibility for operating sanitary sewer systems after the date of adoption of this Order must apply for coverage under the general WDRs at least three (3) months prior to operation of those facilities.

2. Applications under the general WDRs – In order to apply for coverage pursuant to the general WDRs, a legally authorized representative for each agency must submit a complete application package. Within sixty (60) days of adoption of the 23 - 91
general WDRs, State Water Board staff will send specific instructions on how to apply for coverage under the general WDRs to all known public agencies that own sanitary sewer systems. Agencies that do not receive notice may obtain applications and instructions online on the Water Board’s website.

3. Coverage under the general WDRs – Permit coverage will be in effect once a complete application package has been submitted and approved by the State Water Board’s Division of Water Quality.

C. PROHIBITIONS

1. Any SSO that results in a discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater to waters of the United States is prohibited.

2. Any SSO that results in a discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater that creates a nuisance as defined in California Water Code Section 13050(m) is prohibited.

D. PROVISIONS

1. The Enrollee must comply with all conditions of this Order. Any noncompliance with this Order constitutes a violation of the California Water Code and is grounds for enforcement action.

2. It is the intent of the State Water Board that sanitary sewer systems be regulated in a manner consistent with the general WDRs. Nothing in the general WDRs shall be:
(i) Interpreted or applied in a manner inconsistent with the Federal Clean Water Act, or supersede a more specific or more stringent state or federal requirement in an existing permit, regulation, or administrative/judicial order or Consent Decree;
(ii) Interpreted or applied to authorize an SSO that is illegal under either the Clean Water Act, an applicable Basin Plan prohibition or water quality standard, or the California Water Code;
(iii) Interpreted or applied to prohibit a Regional Water Board from issuing an individual NPDES permit or WDR, superseding this general WDR, for a sanitary sewer system, authorized under the Clean Water Act or California Water Code; or
(iv)Interpreted or applied to supersede any more specific or more stringent WDRs or enforcement order issued by a Regional Water Board.

3. The Enrollee shall take all feasible steps to eliminate SSOs. In the event that an SSO does occur, the Enrollee shall take all feasible steps to contain and mitigate the impacts of an SSO.
23 - 92

4. In the event of an SSO, the Enrollee shall take all feasible steps to prevent untreated or partially treated wastewater from discharging from storm drains into flood control channels or waters of the United States by blocking the storm drainage system and by removing the wastewater from the storm drains.

5. All SSOs must be reported in accordance with Section G of the general WDRs.

6. In any enforcement action, the State and/or Regional Water Boards will consider the appropriate factors under the duly adopted State Water Board Enforcement Policy. And, consistent with the Enforcement Policy, the State and/or Regional Water Boards must consider the Enrollee’s efforts to contain, control, and mitigate SSOs when considering the California Water Code Section 13327 factors. In assessing these factors, the State and/or Regional Water Boards will also consider whether:
(i) The Enrollee has complied with the requirements of this Order, including requirements for reporting and developing and implementing a SSMP; (ii) The Enrollee can identify the cause or likely cause of the discharge event; (iii) There were no feasible alternatives to the discharge, such as temporary storage or retention of untreated wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate backup equipment, collecting and hauling of untreated wastewater to a treatment facility, or an increase in the capacity of the system as necessary to contain the design storm event identified in the SSMP. It is inappropriate to consider the lack of feasible alternatives, if the Enrollee does not implement a periodic or continuing process to identify and correct problems.
(iv) The discharge was exceptional, unintentional, temporary, and caused by factors beyond the reasonable control of the Enrollee;
(v) The discharge could have been prevented by the exercise of reasonable control described in a certified SSMP for:
· Proper management, operation and maintenance;
· Adequate treatment facilities, sanitary sewer system facilities, and/or components with an appropriate design capacity, to reasonably prevent SSOs (e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection facilities to accommodate growth, infiltration and inflow (I/I), etc.);
· Preventive maintenance (including cleaning and fats, oils,and grease (FOG) control);
· Installation of adequate backup equipment;and
· Inflow and infiltration prevention and control to theextent practicable.
(vi) The sanitary sewer system design capacity is appropriate to reasonably prevent SSOs.
23 - 93
(vii) The Enrollee took all reasonable steps to stop and mitigate the impact of the discharge as soon as possible.

7. When a sanitary sewer overflow occurs, the Enrollee shall take all feasible steps and necessary remedial actions to 1) control or limit the volume of untreated or partially treated wastewater discharged, 2) terminate the discharge, and 3) recover as much of the wastewater discharged as possible for proper disposal, including any wash down water.

The Enrollee shall implement all remedial actions to the extent they may be applicable to the discharge and not inconsistent with an emergency response plan, including the following:
(i) Interception and rerouting of untreated or partially treated wastewater flows around the wastewater line failure;
(ii) Vacuum truck recovery of sanitary sewer overflows and wash down water; (iii) Cleanup of debris at the overflow site;
(iv)System modifications to prevent another SSO at the same location; (v) Adequate sampling to determine the nature and impact of the release; and (vi)Adequate public notification to protect the public from exposure to the SSO.

8. The Enrollee shall properly, manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system owned or operated by the Enrollee, and shall ensure that the system operators (including employees, contractors, or other agents) are adequately trained and possess adequate knowledge, skills, and abilities.

9. The Enrollee shall allocate adequate resources for the operation, maintenance, and repair of its sanitary sewer system, by establishing a proper rate structure, accounting mechanisms, and auditing procedures to ensure an adequate measure of revenues and expenditures. These procedures must be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and comply with generally acceptable accounting practices.

10. The Enrollee shall provide adequate capacity to convey base flows and peak flows, including flows related to wet weather events. Capacity shall meet or exceed the design criteria as defined in the Enrollee’s System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan for all parts of the sanitary sewer system owned or operated by the Enrollee.

11. The Enrollee shall develop and implement a written Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) and make it available to the State and/or Regional Water Board upon request. A copy of this document must be publicly available at the Enrollee’s office and/or available on the Internet. This SSMP must be approved by the Enrollee’s governing board at a public meeting.
23 - 94

12. In accordance with the California Business and Professions Code sections 6735, 7835, and 7835.1, all engineering and geologic evaluations and judgments shall be performed by or under the direction of registered professionals competent and proficient in the fields pertinent to the required activities. Specific elements of the SSMP that require professional evaluation and judgments shall be prepared by or under the direction of appropriately qualified professionals, and shall bear the professional(s)’ signature and stamp.

13. The mandatory elements of the SSMP are specified below. However, if the Enrollee believes that any element of this section is not appropriate or applicable to the Enrollee’s sanitary sewer system, the SSMP program does not need to address that element. The Enrollee must justify why that element is not applicable.

The SSMP must be approved by the deadlines listed in the SSMP Time Schedule below.

Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)
(i)Goal: The goal of the SSMP is to provide a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system. This will help reduce and prevent SSOs, as well as mitigate any SSOs that do occur.
(ii)Organization: The SSMP must identify:
(a) The name of the responsible or authorized representative as described in Section J of this Order.
(b) The names and telephone numbers for management,
administrative, and maintenance positions responsible for implementing specific measures in the SSMP program. The SSMP must identify lines of authority through an organization chart or similar document with a narrative explanation; and
(c) The chain of communication for reporting SSOs, from receipt of a complaint or other information, including the person responsible for reporting SSOs to the State and Regional Water Board and other agencies if applicable (such as County Health Officer, County Environmental Health Agency, Regional Water Board, and/or State Office of Emergency Services (OES)).
(iii)Legal Authority: Each Enrollee must demonstrate, through sanitary sewer system use ordinances, service agreements, or other legally binding procedures, that it possesses the necessary legal authority to:
(a) Prevent illicit discharges into its sanitary sewer system (examples may include I/I, stormwater, chemical dumping, unauthorized debris and cut roots, etc.);
(b) Require that sewers and connections be properly designed and 23 - 95
constructed;
(c) Ensure access for maintenance, inspection, or repairs for portions of the lateral owned or maintained by the Public Agency; (d) Limit the discharge of fats, oils, and grease and other debris that may cause blockages, and
(e) Enforce any violation of its sewer ordinances.
(iv)Operation and Maintenance Program. 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 stormwater 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 a rehabilitation and replacement plan to identify and prioritize system deficiencies and implement short-term and longterm 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 and maintenance, and require contractors to be appropriately trained; and
(e) Provide equipment and replacement part inventories, including identification of critical replacement parts.
23 - 96
(v)Design and Performance Provisions:
(a) Design and construction standards and specifications for the installation of new sanitary sewer systems, pump stations and other appurtenances; and for the rehabilitation and repair of existing sanitary sewer systems; and
(b) Procedures and standards for inspecting and testing the installation of new sewers, pumps, and other appurtenances and for
rehabilitation and repair projects.
(vi)Overflow Emergency Response Plan - Each Enrollee shall develop and implement an overflow emergency response plan that identifies measures to protect public health and the environment. At a minimum, this plan must include the following:
(a) Proper notification procedures so that the primary responders and regulatory agencies are informed of all SSOs in a timely manner; (b) A program to ensure an appropriate response to all overflows; (c) 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 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;
(d) Procedures to ensure that appropriate staff and contractor personnel are aware of and follow the Emergency Response Plan and are appropriately trained;
(e) Procedures to address emergency operations, such as traffic and crowd control and other necessary response activities; and (f) 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. 23 - 97
(vii)FOG Control Program: Each Enrollee shall evaluate its service area to determine whether a FOG control program is needed. If an Enrollee determines that a FOG program is not needed, the Enrollee must provide justification for why it is not needed. If FOG is found to be a problem, the Enrollee must prepare and implement a FOG source control program to reduce the amount of these substances discharged to the sanitary sewer system. This plan shall include the following as appropriate:
(a) An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of FOG;
(b) A plan and schedule for the disposal of FOG generated within the sanitary sewer system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal facilities and/or additional facilities needed to adequately dispose of FOG generated within a sanitary sewer system service area;
(c) The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent SSOs and blockages caused by FOG;
(d) Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors), design standards for the removal devices, maintenance requirements, BMP requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements;
(e) Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and whether the Enrollee has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the FOG ordinance;
(f) An identification of sanitary sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages and establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section; and
(g) Development and implementation of source control measures for all sources of FOG discharged to the sanitary sewer system for each section identified in (f) above.
(viii)System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan: 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; 23 - 98
(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 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.
(ix)Monitoring, Measurement, and Program Modifications: 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 preventative maintenance
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.
(x)SSMP Program Audits - 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. 23 - 99
(xi)Communication Program – 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.

14. Both the SSMP and the Enrollee’s program to implement the SSMP must be certified by the Enrollee to be in compliance with the requirements set forth above and must be presented to the Enrollee’s governing board for approval at a public meeting. The Enrollee shall certify that the SSMP, and subparts thereof, are in compliance with the general WDRs within the time frames identified in the time schedule provided in subsection D.15, below.

In order to complete this certification, the Enrollee’s authorized representative must complete the certification portion in the Online SSO Database Questionnaire by checking the appropriate milestone box, printing and signing the automated form, and sending the form to:

ORDER NO. WQ 2013-0058-EXEC

AMENDING MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
FOR

STATEWIDE GENERAL WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS FOR

SANITARY SEWER SYSTEMS
The State of California, Water Resources Control Board (hereafter State Water Board) finds:

1. The State Water Board is authorized to prescribe statewide general Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for categories of discharges that involve the same or similar operations and the same or similar types of waste pursuant to Water Code section 13263(i).

2. Water Code section 13193 et seq. requires the Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water Boards) and the State Water Board (collectively, the Water Boards) to gather Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) information and make this information available to the public, including but not limited to, SSO cause, estimated volume, location, date, time, duration, whether or not the SSO reached or may have reached waters of the state, response and corrective action taken, and an enrollee's contact information for each SSO event. An enrollee is defined as the public entity having legal authority over the operation and maintenance of, or capital improvements to, a sanitary sewer system greater than one mile in length.

3. Water Code section 13271, et seq. requires notification to the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), formerly the California Emergency Management Agency, for certain unauthorized discharges, including SSOs.

4. On May 2, 2006, the State Water Board adopted Order 2006-0003-DWQ, "Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems"1
(hereafter SSS WDRs) to comply
with Water Code section 13193 and to establish the framework for the statewide SSO Reduction Program.

5. Subsection G.2 of the SSS WDRs and the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) provide that the Executive Director may modify the terms of the MRP at any time.

6. On February 20, 2008, the State Water Board Executive Director adopted a revised MRP for the SSS WDRs to rectify early notification deficiencies and ensure that first responders are notified in a timely manner of SSOs discharged into waters of the state.

7. When notified of an SSO that reaches a drainage channel or surface water of the state, Cal OES, pursuant to Water Code section 13271(a)(3), forwards the SSO notification information2
to local government agencies and first responders including local public health officials and the applicable Regional Water Board. Receipt of notifications for a single SSO event from both the SSO reporter and Cal OES is duplicative. To address this, the SSO notification requirements added by the February 20, 2008 MRP revision are being removed in this MRP revision.

23 - 108

8. In the February 28, 2008 Memorandum of Agreement between the State Water Board and the California Water and Environment Association (CWEA), the State Water Board committed to re- designing the CIWQS3 Online SSO Database to allow "event" based SSO reporting versus the original "location" based reporting. Revisions to this MRP and accompanying changes to the CIWQS Online SSO Database will implement this change by allowing for multiple SSO appearance points to be associated with each SSO event caused by a single asset failure.

9. Based on stakeholder input and Water Board staff experience implementing the SSO Reduction Program, SSO categories have been revised in this MRP. Inthe prior version of the MRP, SSOs have been categorized as Category 1 or Category 2. This MRP implements changes to SSO categories by adding a Category 3 SSO type. This change will improve data management to further assist Water Board staff with evaluation of high threat and low threat SSOs by placing them in unique categories (i.e., Category 1 and Category 3, respectively). This change will also assist enrollees in identifying SSOs that require Cal OES notification.

10. Based on over six years of implementation of the SSS WDRs, the State Water Board concludes that the February 20, 2008 MRP must be updated to better advance the SSO Reduction Program4 objectives, assess compliance, and enforce the requirements of the SSS WDRs.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

Pursuant to the authority delegated by Water Code section 13267(f), Resolution 2002-0104, and Order 2006-0003-DWQ, the MRP for the SSS WDRs (Order 2006-0003-DWQ) is hereby amended as shown in Attachment A and shall be effective on September 9, 2013.

B. NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Although Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water Boards) and the State Water Board (collectively, the Water Boards) staff do not have duties as first responders, this MRP is an appropriate mechanism to ensure that the agencies that have first responder duties are notified in a timely manner in order to protect public health and beneficial uses.

1. For any Category 1 SSO greater than or equal to 1,000 gallons that results in a discharge to a surface water or spilled in a location where it probably will be discharged to surface water, either directly or by way of a drainage channel or MS4, the enrollee shall, as soon as possible, but not later than two (2) hours after (A) the enrollee has knowledge of the discharge, (B) notification is possible, and (C) notification can be provided without substantially impeding cleanup or other emergency measures, notify the Cal OES and obtain a notification control number.

2. To satisfy notification requirements for each applicable SSO, the enrollee shall provide the information requested by Cal OES before receiving a control number. Spill information requested by Cal OES may include:
i. Name of person notifying Cal OES and direct return phone number. ii. Estimated SSO volume discharged (gallons).
iii. If ongoing, estimated SSO discharge rate (gallons per minute). iv. SSO Incident Description:
a. Brief narrative.
b. On-scene point of contact for additional information (name and cell phone number). c. Date and time enrollee became aware of the SSO.
d. Name of sanitary sewer system agency causing the SSO. e. SSO cause (if known).
v. Indication of whether the SSO has been contained.
vi. Indication of whether surface water is impacted.
vii. Name of surface water impacted by the SSO, if applicable. viii. Indication of whether a drinking water supply is or may be impacted by the SSO. ix. Any other known SSO impacts.
x. SSO incident location (address, city, state, and zip code).

3. Following the initial notification to Cal OES and until such time that an enrollee certifies the SSO report in the CIWQS Online SSO Database, the enrollee shall provide updates to Cal OES regarding substantial changes to the estimated volume of untreated or partially treated sewage discharged and any substantial change(s) to known impact(s). 23 - 113

4. PLSDs: The enrollee is strongly encouraged to notify Cal OES of discharges greater than or equal to 1,000 gallons of untreated or partially treated wastewater that result or may result in a discharge to surface water resulting from failures or flow conditions within a privately owned sewer lateral or from other private sewer asset(s) if the enrollee becomes aware of the PLSD.

C. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

1. CIWQS Online SSO Database Account: All enrollees shall obtain a CIWQS Online SSO Database account and receive a “Username” and “Password” by registering through CIWQS.

These accounts allow controlled and secure entry into the CIWQS Online SSO Database.

2. SSO Mandatory Reporting Information: For reporting purposes, if one SSO event results in multiple appearance points in a sewer system asset, the enrollee shall complete one SSO report in the CIWQS Online SSO Database which includes the GPS coordinates for the location of the SSO appearance point closest to the failure point, blockage or location of the flow condition that caused the SSO, and provide descriptions of the locations of all other discharge points associated with the SSO event.

3. SSO Categories
i. Category 1 – Discharges of untreated or partially treated wastewater of any volume resulting from an enrollee’s sanitary sewer system failure or flow condition that:
a. Reach surface water and/or reach a drainage channel tributary to a surface water; or b. Reach a MS4 and are not fully captured and returned to the sanitary sewer system or not otherwise captured and disposed of properly.

SEWAGE SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES
D.1 General Response Procedures
The four fundamental phases of all responses to a sanitary sewer spill are: CONTAIN, REPORT, CONTROL, and CLEANUP.

The first personnel on scene are to contain the spill to keep it from entering the storm drainage system or other receiving waters. This may be done in any number of ways including the use of sand or soil dikes, sandbags, or by plugging the outlet pipe of a catch basin.

After the spill is contained or if the spill enters the storm drainage system or receiving waters, appropriate regulatory agencies must be notified as soon as possible but not delay the containment.

Once the spill is contained and the appropriate agencies have been notified, it needs to be brought under control. That is, the impacted line must be relieved (the blockage removed) or bypassed (pumped to the next flowing manhole) if the line has failed.

The fourth and final step of the response is the cleanup. All surfaces touched by the spill must be washed down, disinfected, and the runoff contained and removed for proper disposal.

Spill Response forms and procedure flow charts are located at the end of this appendix.

D.2 Dispatch Procedures

1. During business hours: All calls from the public or from internal departments shall be routed to the Public Works Dispatcher at (626) 403-7370. The Public Works Dispatcher shall then call the Sewer Supervisor by radio or at (626) 372-3374 and/or the Sewer Crew by radio at (626) 419-6701 to immediately respond to the incident.

2. After business hours: All calls from the public or from internal departments are routed to Police Dispatch at (626) 403-7297. The Police Dispatcher shall then call the Sewer Crew at (626) 419-6701 to immediately respond to the incident.

D.3 Initial Spill Response Procedures

1. The Maintenance Superintendent or designee thereof shall be immediately dispatched to the site to take control of the scene as the Incident Commander. Desired response time is 45 minutes or less. Field crews will be immediately prepared to respond with all available equipment including diking materials, vacuum truck, and traffic control equipment.

2. The Incident Commander (the most high-ranking, appropriate, City employee or designee) shall assess the magnitude of the spill by estimating the gallons per minute of the flow or by the accumulation of spillage AND whether the spill has been contained or not.
23 - 124
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | APPENDIX D For any sewage spill that results in a discharge into a drainage channel or a surface water, the discharger shall, as soon as possible but not later than two hours after becoming aware of the discharge, notify the State Office of Emergency Services (OES), the local health officer or directors of environmental health with jurisdiction over affected water bodies, and the appropriate Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).

3. Based on his/her assessment of the situation, the Incident Commander shall declare the spill either a Category I or Category II spill in accordance with the following parameters:
a. Category I - Blockage or restriction causing an overflow of 1,000 gallons or more, OR entering an environmentally sensitive area, OR entering the storm drain system and not captured.
i. Notification Requirements:
1) OES - (800) 852-7550 (Call Immediately).
2) Los Angeles County Health Department - (213) 974-1234 (24 hours) (Call within 15 minutes of spill).
3) Los Angeles County Public Works - (888) 253-2652.
4) RWQCB - (213) 576-6657 or (213) 305-2253 (Call within 2 hours of spill). 5) State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)
(https://ciwqs.waterboards.ca.gov/).
b. Category II - Blockage or restrictions causing a flow which is contained prior to entering the storm drain system AND has a cumulative overflow of less than 1,000 gallons.
i. Notification Requirements:
1) Los Angeles County Health Departmental - (213) 974-1234.

There is a potential Private Lateral Sewage Discharge scenario, which would be the result of an overflow on private property NOT caused by a blockage in the public sewer system. In this event, it is the property owner/operator’s responsibility to mitigate the spill; however, City crews may wish to consider assisting the property owner/operator within the bounds of resource availability and public service limitations. In this event, the Health Department should be notified, and the SWRCB may be notified at the option of the City.

D.4 Category I Spill Response Procedures

1. Berm the sewage flow, block all drainage inlets, and set up to start pumping to the closest clear manhole as soon as possible.

2. Request assistance of other agencies and/or contract firms for additional pumps to stabilize the situation.

3. Make all notifications as specified (within two hours of the spill). a. OES.
b. Los Angeles County Health Department.
c. Los Angeles County Public Works (Flood Control).
d. RWQCB.

4. Determine the generation point of the spill (City line, County Sanitation Trunk line, or private property). If City generated, clear the restriction and proceed to Step 7. If County generated, contact County Sanitation Districts at (562) 437-6520 and proceed to Step 5.

If generated from private property, contact the property’s occupant of their responsibility to control the discharge and proceed to Step 6. If the occupant refuses to DI.2 | OCTOBER 2022 | DRAFT
23 - 125
APPENDIX D | SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN | CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA DRAFT | OCTOBER 2022 | D-3
comply, contact Code Enforcement at (626) 403-7360 and the County Health Department at (213) 974-1234.

5. Sanitation District Spills - City staff should continue to maintain containment of the spill until County crews arrive. Once County crews are on scene, the County is responsible for clearing the blockage and for cleanup, but the Incident Commander maintains responsibility for ensuring that the area is returned to its natural state. At the discretion of the City’s Incident Commander, City crews may be required to assist in these operations. Proceed to Step 7.

6. Private Property Spills - City staff should continue to monitor the spill, how the spill is contained, and how materials are disposed of. Ensure proper containment and cleanup.

At the discretion of the Incident Commander, City crews may be required to assist in containment and cleanup of a spill on private property, with all costs being back-charged to the responsible party(ies). If the spill should reach the public right-of-way, it is then the City’s responsibility to ensure that the spill is contained, and that proper cleanup measures are completed. Proceed to Step 7.

7. Take photographs of the spill and include them for review by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Program (NPDES) Coordinator and Department Head. If the spill did not generate from private property but has entered private property, a copy of the report and photos must be forwarded to Risk Management. Request permission of the occupant of the private property before taking any pictures on private property. Confine pictures to only the areas affected by the spill.

8. Determine the cause of the spill. Describe what caused the problem and what actions were taken to correct the situation. This information is required for Department records.

If the spill occurs in a business area, or if it is suspected to have been the result of a commercial or business activity, request that the Department Head contact the City’s Storm Water consultant at (562) 802-7880 to assist with the investigation.

9. Clean up the spill area and remove containment. Leave the area as clean as practicable.

Emphasis should be placed on removing all materials that are in or around the contaminated area. Wash down, disinfect, and remove all runoff from all surfaces that were in contact with the spill.

Under no circumstance is disinfectant-contaminated water allowed to enter a catch basin. All such water must be removed from the site (i.e., vacuumed up) and properly disposed of. It is acceptable procedure to rinse a spill as long as a vacuum truck is downstream to collect all wastewater. Be extremely cautious with the use of chlorine, as any residual chlorine on surfaces could be washed by landscape or other water sources into receiving waters long after the cleanup effort has concluded.

10. Check and clear downstream manholes. It is possible that debris may accumulate at the next downstream manhole following a backup. Always check the lower manhole to ensure that the line is flowing properly.

11. The Incident Commander must fill out a Sewer Spill Report form (located at end of this appendix).

12. Contact Police Dispatch at (626) 403-7297 and request assistance with traffic control, if needed.
23 - 126

Exceptions to the installation of a grease and oil interceptor shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by the director. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

30.32 FOG pretreatment required for new construction of food service establishments.

30.33 Variance and waiver of grease interceptor requirement. (a) Variance from Grease Interceptor Requirements. A variance or a conditional waiver from the grease interceptor requirements on such terms and conditions as may be established by the director, consistent with the requirements of the sewer WDRs, the city’s FOG control program, and best construction, engineering, environmental and health and safety practices, to: (1) allow alternative pretreatment technology that is, at least, equally effective in controlling the FOG discharge in lieu of a grease interceptor, may be granted by the director to FSEs demonstrating to the director’s satisfaction that it is impossible to install, operate or maintain a grease interceptor; or (2) where the FSE demonstrates to the director’s satisfaction that any FOG discharge from the FSE is negligible and will have an insignificant impact to the sewer system.
(b) Waiver from Grease Interceptor Installation with a Grease Disposal Mitigation Fee. For FSEs where the installation of grease interceptor is not The South Pasadena City Code is current through Ordinance No. 2353, passed April 7, 2021.

South Pasadena City Code CHAPTER 30 SEWERS* Page 14 of 35 23 - 149
feasible and no equivalent alternative pretreatment can be installed, a waiver from the grease interceptor requirement may be granted with the imposition of a grease disposal mitigation fee as described in section 30.34. The director’s determination to grant the waiver with a grease disposal mitigation fee will be based upon such considerations that the director determines to be appropriate and consistent with the sewer WDRs, the city’s FOG control program, and best construction, engineering, environmental and health and safety practices.

Provided, however, that a grease interceptor will be installed when the FSE undergoes a significant remodel. No discretionary permit, including but not limited to a conditional use permit, shall be issued to a FSE unless the applicant can demonstrate that a grease interceptor has been or will be installed at the FSE.
(c) Application for Waiver or Variance of Requirement for Grease Interceptor. A FSE may submit an application for waiver or variance from the grease interceptor requirement to the director. Terms and conditions for issuance of a variance to a FSE shall be set forth in the permit. A waiver or variance may be revoked at any time when any of the terms and conditions for its issuance is not satisfied or if the conditions upon which the waiver was based change so that the justification for the waiver no longer exists. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

30.34 Grease disposal mitigation fee.
(a) FSEs that operate without a grease control interceptor may be required to pay an annual grease disposal mitigation fee to equitably cover the costs of increased maintenance and administration of the sewer system as a result of the FSEs’ inability to adequately remove FOG from its wastewater discharge. This section shall not be interpreted to allow a new FSE, or existing FSEs undergoing remodeling or change in operations, to operate without an approved grease interceptor unless the director has determined that it is impossible to install or operate a grease control interceptor for the FSE under the provisions of this chapter.
(b) The grease disposal mitigation fee shall be established by resolution of the city council, and shall be based on the estimated annual increased cost of maintaining the sewer system for inspection and removal of FOG and other viscous or solidifying agents attributable to the FSE resulting from the lack of a grease interceptor or grease control device and such other costs that the city council considers appropriate.
(c) The grease disposal mitigation fee may not be waived or reduced when the FSE does not comply with the minimum requirements of this chapter. (Ord. No.

30.35 Grease interceptor maintenance requirements.
(a) Grease interceptors shall be maintained in efficient operating condition by periodic removal of the full content of the interceptor which includes wastewater, accumulated FOG, floating materials, sludge and solids. (b) Wastewater, accumulated FOG, floating material, sludge/solids, and other materials removed from the grease interceptor shall be disposed off site properly by waste haulers in accordance with federal, state and/or local laws. (c) Grease interceptors shall be fully pumped out and cleaned on a quarterly basis. The agency may change the maintenance frequency at any time to reflect changes in actual operating conditions in accordance with the FOG control program. Based on the actual generation of FOG from the food service establishment, the maintenance frequency may increase or decrease. (d) The permittee shall be required to keep all documents identified by the director relating to its compliance with this chapter, including manifests, receipts and invoices of all cleaning, maintenance, grease removal of/from the grease control device, disposal carrier and disposal site location for no less than two years. The permittee shall, upon request, make the manifests, receipts and invoices available to any city representative, or inspector. (e) If the grease interceptor, at any time, contains excess FOG and solids accumulation the FSE shall be required to have the grease interceptor serviced immediately such that all fats, oils, grease, sludge, and other materials are completely removed from the grease interceptor. If deemed necessary, the director may also increase the maintenance frequency of the grease interceptor from the current frequency. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

30.36 FOG inspections.

The director, or representative, shall be authorized at any reasonable time to enter the premises of any discharger to determine compliance with the provisions of this chapter; such inspection may include but not be limited to:
inspection, sampling, monitoring, review, photograph, videotape and copy of any records, reports, test results or other data, wastes, chemicals, storage areas, storage containers, waste generating processes, treatment facilities and discharge locations. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

South Pasadena City Code CHAPTER 30 SEWERS* Page 30 of 35 23 - 165
will have an insignificant impact to the sewer system.
(b) Waiver from Grease Interceptor Installation with a Grease Disposal Mitigation Fee. For FSEs where the installation of grease interceptor is not feasible and no equivalent alternative pretreatment can be installed, a waiver from the grease interceptor requirement may be granted with the imposition of a grease disposal mitigation fee as described in section 30.34. The director’s determination to grant the waiver with a grease disposal mitigation fee will be based upon such considerations that the director determines to be appropriate and consistent with the sewer WDRs, the city’s FOG control program, and best construction, engineering, environmental and health and safety practices.

30.34 Grease disposal mitigation fee.
(a) FSEs that operate without a grease control interceptor may be required to pay an annual grease disposal mitigation fee to equitably cover the costs of increased maintenance and administration of the sewer system as a result of the FSEs’ inability to adequately remove FOG from its wastewater discharge. This section shall not be interpreted to allow a new FSE, or existing FSEs undergoing remodeling or change in operations, to operate without an approved grease interceptor unless the director has determined that it is impossible to install or operate a grease control interceptor for the FSE under the provisions of this chapter.
(b) The grease disposal mitigation fee shall be established by resolution of the city council, and shall be based on the estimated annual increased cost of maintaining the sewer system for inspection and removal of FOG and other viscous or solidifying agents attributable to the FSE resulting from the lack of a grease interceptor or grease control device and such other costs that the city The South Pasadena City Code is current through Ordinance No. 2353, passed April 7, 2021.

South Pasadena City Code CHAPTER 30 SEWERS* Page 31 of 35 23 - 166
council considers appropriate.

(c) Grease interceptors shall be fully pumped out and cleaned on a quarterly basis. The agency may change the maintenance frequency at any time to reflect changes in actual operating conditions in accordance with the FOG control program. Based on the actual generation of FOG from the food service establishment, the maintenance frequency may increase or decrease. (d) The permittee shall be required to keep all documents identified by the director relating to its compliance with this chapter, including manifests, receipts and invoices of all cleaning, maintenance, grease removal of/from the grease control device, disposal carrier and disposal site location for no less than two years. The permittee shall, upon request, make the manifests, receipts and invoices available to any city representative, or inspector. (e) If the grease interceptor, at any time, contains excess FOG and solids accumulation the FSE shall be required to have the grease interceptor serviced immediately such that all fats, oils, grease, sludge, and other materials are completely removed from the grease interceptor. If deemed necessary, the director may also increase the maintenance frequency of the grease interceptor from the current frequency. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

INTRODUCTION
As part of the City's effort to identify Citywide sewer .. system structural defficiencies, Phase I sewer video lnspection of a 4 year inspection assessment and repair program . has been completed. This report summarizes the results of the review and analysis of the video inspection, as well as the estimated cost of improvements for sewer lines that require attention. Based on the results of the Phases 1 assessment, an estimate of the repair cost is projected for the city's entire system.

RANKING CONSIDERATIONS
The sewer lines that were video inspected have been categorized into four groups of "A", "B", "C", & "D" depending on th~ condition of the lines within each' reach. · Group "A''. represents a no deficiency condition and Groyp "D" represents a high priority repair condition. Factors that were considered in rating a reach included root intrusion, ,joint separation, cracks and sags, along with the frequency of occurrence and their severity.

Local problems that require spot repair have been evaluated under a separate grouping.

In cases where there is a local condition that is· significantly different that the condition of the main, the reach has been rated without taking. the local problem into account.

Local problems have been evaluated as a separate category, and prioritized according to the urgency of the required repair (see Table 2).

SEWER MAIN RANKING CLASSIFICATIONS
Group "A" represents sewer mains in optimal pipe condition that did not reflect an issue needing action.

Group "B" represents sewer mains that do not have a structural deficiency. The mains in this group do not require immediate attention, nor is it anticipated that they would need to be repaired within the next 15 years.

Group "C" represents sewer mains that display minor structural deficiencies such as minor cracks, and require attention within the next 1 O years.· Group "D" represents sewer mains that exhibit more· serious· structural deficiencies such as multiple cracks and fractures, and in general need to be repaired within the first 5 years of the program.

SPOT REPAIR RANKING CLASSIFICATIONS
Spot repairs have been categorized as Group I, 11, Ill & IV depending on the severity of the required repair. Group I represents the most severe conditions, and Group IV the least. Spot repair conditions have been classified as follows: · GROUP
II
Ill
IV

DEFICIENCY
Fractures, holes, missing pipe
Joint displacement, multiple cracks, sags
Hair line cracks
Root intrusion at lateral

RECOMMENDED REPAIR AND RECONNAISSANCE PROGRAM
The program is recommended to have 2 distinct components of repair and reconnaissance. A 20 year period is envisioned to complete the. first cycle of the program, with major repairs completed in the first 10 years, minor repairs between 11 th and 15th year, and re~inspection of mains that are not currently subject to any repair wo_rk due to their good condition in the last 5 years.

Considering that Group "D" of the sewer mains and Group "I" of the sewer spot repairs represent the worst conditions in the system, they have been classified as priority 1 in the program,
Sewer mains with Group "C" classification that exhibited minor structural defficiencies, and Group II of the spot repair have been classified as priority 2 in the program.

Group Ill of the Sewer priority spot repair that deals with less serious and non structural defficiencies has been classified as priority 3.

Video inspection and analysis of sewer mains with conditions "A" & "B", along with the · Group IV of the spot repairs have been classified as priority 4.

INFORMATION TABLES
Table "A" shows the condition of the mains sorted alphabetically. Table "B" shows the · condition of the spot repair~ sorted alphabetically. Table "C" ranks the condition of the mains from worst to best, and Table "D" ranks the condition of the spot repairs from worst to best.
2 23 - 205
Table "E" identifies the _DVD number, location, manhole #s, lengths of repair, number of laterals, condition assessment and implementation phasing order, as well as estimated repair costs. ·
ESTIMATED PHASE 1 REPAIR COST
The following table reflects the summary of the review of Phases 1 & 2 Sewer Video Inspection, with repair description and respective priority and estimated cost. The repair cost has been estimated based on unit prices of ·$180/LF for removal and ·replacement of mains, and $4,000 per each lateral repair. 1 2

ESTIMATED REPAIR COSTS FOR THE ENTIRE SEWER SYSTEM
Phase 1 encompasses roughly 25% of the entire City's s~wer system.

Assuming that Phase 1 deficiencies and costs are representative of the entire system, a 20 year repair program would require the repair cost as shown below 3 23 - 206

INTRODUCTION
As part of the City's effort to identify Citywide sewer system structural defficienc!es, Phase 2 sewer video inspection of a 4 year inspection assessment and repair program has been completed. This report summarizes the results of the review and analysis of the video inspection, as well as the estimated cost of improvements for sewer lines that require attention. Moreover, based on the results of the Phases 1 & 2 assessments, an updated estimate of the repair cost is projected for the city's entire system.

RANKING CONSIDERATIONS
The sewer lines that were video in_spected have been categorized into four groups of "A", "B", "C'', & "D" depending on the condition of the lines within each reach.

Group «A" represents a no deficiency condition and Group "D" represents a high priority repair condition. Factors that were considered in rating a reach included root intrusion, Joint separation, cra<:::ks and sags, along with the frequency of occurrence and their ·severity.

Local problems that require spot repair have been evaluated under a separate grouping.

CONDITION ASSESSMENT
The rating of the condition of the sewer mains are tabulated in Table 1. The reaches are identified as referenced in the sewer video inspection from manhole to manhole and in the same sequence. · ·
In cases where there is a local condition that is significantly different that the condition of the main, the, reach has been rated without taking the local problem into account.

Local problems have been evaluated as a separate category, and prioritized according to the urgency of the required repair (see Table 2).

SEWER MAIN RANKING CLASSIFICATIONS
. Group "A" represents sewer mains in optimal pipe condition that did not reflect an issue needing action.

Group "C" represents sewer mains that display minor structural deficiencies such as minor cracks, and require attention wit~in the next 10 years.

Group "D" represents sewer mains that exhibit more serious structural deficiencies such as multiple cracks and fractures, and in general need to be repaired within the · _first 5 years of the program ..
1 23 - 228

SPOT REPAIR RANKING CLASSIFICATIONS
Spot repairs have been categorized as Group I, II, Ill & IV depending on the severity of the required repair. Group I represents the most severe conditions, and Group 1V the least. Spot repair conditions have been classified as follows:

GROUP
II
f II
IV
. DEFICIENCY
Fractures, holes, missing pipe
Joint displacement, multipl,e cracks, sags ·
Hair line cracks
Root intrusion at lateral

RECOMMENDED REPAIR AND RECONNAISSANCE PROGRAM
The program is recommended · to have 2 distinct components of repair and reconnaissance. A 20 year period is envisioned to complete the first cycle of the program, with major repairs completed in the first 1 O years, minor repairs between 11 th and 15th year, and re-inspection of mains that are not currently subject to any repair work due to their good condition in the last 5 years.

Considering that Group "D" of the sewer mains and Group "[" of the sewer spot repairs represent the worst conditions in the system, they have been classified as priority 1 in the program,
Sewer mains with Group "C" classification that exhibited minor structural defficiencies, _and Group ll of the spot repair have been classified as priority 2 in the program.

Group III of the Sewer priority spot repair that deals with less serious and non structural defficiencies has been classified as priority. 3.

Video inspection and analysis of sewer mains with conditions "A'' & "B", along with the Group IV of the spot repairs have been· classified as priority 4.

INFORMATION TABLES
Table "A" shows the condition of the mains sorted alphabetically. Table "B" shows thi:} condition of the spot repairs sorted alphabetically. Table "C" ranks the condition of the mains from worst to best, and Table "D" ranks the condition of the spot repairs from worst to best.
2 23 - 229
Table "E" identifies the DVD number, location, manhole #s, lengths of repair, number of laterals, condition assessment and implementation phasing order, as well as estimated repair costs.

ESTIMATED PHASE 2 REPAIR COST
The following table reflects the summary of the review of Phases 1 & 2 Sewer Video Inspection, with repair description and respective priority and estimated cost. The repair cost has been estimated based on unit prices of $1°80/LF for removal and replacement of mains, and $4,000 per each lateral repair. 1 1-5 Group "D" mains, $ 989,000

TOTAL $ 2,389,000.00 $ 3,099,000.00 $ 5,488,000.00

ESTIMATED REPAIR COSTS FOR THE ENTIRE SEWER SYSTEM
Phases 1 & 2. video inspection i.ncludes approximately half of the entire City's sewer · system.

Assuming that phases 1 & 2 deficiencies and costs are representative of the entire . system, a 20 year repair program would require the repair cost as shown below 1 1-5 Group "D" mains, $3,238,000
and Group I of

(b) Waiver from Grease Interceptor Installation with a Grease Disposal Mitigation Fee. For FSEs where the installation of grease interceptor is not feasible and no equivalent alternative pretreatment can be installed, a waiver from the grease interceptor requirement may be granted with the imposition of a grease disposal mitigation fee as described in section 30.34. The director's detennination to grant the waiver with a grease disposal mitigation fee will be based upon such considerations that the director determines to be appropriate and consistent with the sewer WDRs, the city's FOG control program, and best construction, engineering, environmental and health and safety practices. Provided, however, that a grease interceptor will be installed when the FSE undergoes a significant remodel.

30.34_ Grease disposal mitigation fee,
(a) · FSEs that operate without a grease control interceptor may be required to pay an annual grease disposal mitigation fee to equitably cover the costs of increased maintenance and administration of the sewer system as a result of the FSEs' inability tb adequately remove FOG from its wastewater discharge. This section shall not be interpreted to allow a new FSE, or existing FSEs undergoing remodeling or change in operations, to operate without an approved grease interceptor unless the director has detennined that it is impossible to install or operate a grease control interceptor for the FSE under the provisions of this chapter. (b) The grease disposai mitigation fee shall be established by resolution ofthe city council, and shall be based on the estimated annual increased cost of maintaining the sewer system for inspection and removal of FOG and other viscous or solidifying agents attributable to the FSE resulting from the lack of a grease interceptor or grease control device and such other costs that the city council consid_ers appropriate. ( c) The grease disposal mitigation fee may not be waived or reduce.d when the FSE does not comply. with the minimum requirements of this chapter. (Ord. No. 2186, § 2, 2009.)

ITEM NO. 24
Presentation of a Citywide Operational Status Update
It is recommended that the City Council receive a monthly Citywide operational status update.

Background
City staff has presented two previous operational status updates to the City Council and community. The first operational status was presented on September 21, 2022 and the most recent update was presented on October 19, 2022. Both reports included information and graph representations regarding the City's operations, staffing updates, department assessment updates, and updates regarding major projects throughout every City department.

The City's Finance Ad Hoc Committee, was formed in September 2020 to review the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget, the Annual Comprehensive Finance Report (ACFR) for Fiscal Year 2018-2019, and the address concerns of oversight and management of the City's budget process under the purview of previous administration at City Hall. The Ad Hoc Committee submitted a report of their findings at the June 15, 2022 City Council Meeting, and further discussed at the August 17, 2022 City Council Meeting. One of the recommendations was to provide quarterly updates to the Finance Commission and City Council. The City has committed to quarterly updates and looks to implement monthly updates in early 2023.

The City Manager's Office has committed to presenting monthly reports as a part of addressing concerns of oversight and management.

All operational updates within the staff report regarding recruitments, department assessment updates, projects, and happenings are derived from the City's Strategic Plan for 2021-2026 that was adopted by City Council on December 15, 2021. 24 - 1
-I
The City’s Strategic Plan for 2021-2026 highlight was adopted by City Council on December 15, 2021. The overarching goals within the Strategic Plan include:

1. Develop and Implement Strong Fiscal Policies to Ensure a Resilient Financial Future;

2. Create a Strong Economic Development Strategy to Strengthen Local Business;

3. Develop a Comprehensive Emergency Preparedness Plan to Ensure Public Safety through Active Response and Recovery Efforts;

4. Enhance Community Sustainability through Investment in Infrastructure and Environmental Management Programs;

5. Plan for Affordable Housing to Comply with State Mandates and Respond to Community Needs; and

6. Enhance Customer Service through Innovation to More Effectively Respond to Community Priorities.

In conjunction with the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, the City Council adopted the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year Budget, which focuses on improved policies and procedures, re-establishing the City’s Capital Improvement Program, re-sizing the organization in regard to recruitments, and continuous improvements in providing City services to the community.

Included in the Adopted Budget are Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for each department that will quantify the City’s accomplishments as a part of the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year.

The Strategic Plan, Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget, and Key Performance Indicators are the guiding documents to identify and prioritize City goals, projects, and dedicate resources to them.

Analysis
The City has completed approximately 50% of the Strategic Plan, and 50% is in progress.

There are currently 28 total recruitments citywide, with 24 of them being active recruitments. Of the 24 active recruitments, 3 are in the background process and 5 offers have been extended to candidates that have not started yet. In addition, 4 recruitments are on hold. A pie chart with the data on all recruitments could be found toward the end of the report.

In regard to overall updates, the City’s Finance Department and City Manager’s Office has created a proposed timeline for the Fiscal Year 2023 and 2024 Budget. The City will engage in Community Outreach starting early 2023 to ensure residents are informed, and have ample opportunity to provide input. Below is graph of the proposed timeline. 24 - 2
