Section II Project Description
II.1 Project Description
Description of Proposed Project
Development Category
(Verbatim from WQMP):
All significant redevelopment projects, where significant redevelopment is defined as projects that include the addition or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of impervious surface on a developed site. Redevelopment does not include routine maintenance activities that are conducted to maintain original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, original purpose of the facility, or emergency redevelopment activity required to protect public health and safety.
If the redevelopment results in the addition or replacement of less than 50 percent of the impervious area on-site and the existing development was not subject to WQMP requirement, the numeric sizing criteria discussed in Section
7.II-2.0 only applies to the addition or the replacement area. If the addition or replacement accounts for 50 percent or more of the impervious area, the Project WQMP requirements apply to the entire development.
Project Area (ft2):
115320.155 sft
Number of Dwelling Units: 62 SIC Code: n/a
Narrative Project
Description:
The total project area consists of approximately 2.65 acres and is located at 19081 Yorba Linda Blvd in the city of Yorba Linda, California. The existing site consists of two (2) single family homes with sheds dispersed throughout the site.
The existing impervious cover is approximately 18764.83 sft and the remainder of the site is undeveloped and covered in soil, trees, and shrubs. The existing buildings and pavement will be demolished by City Ventures Homebuilding as part of this development.
The site is surrounded by chain link fence and vinyl fencing along with a short 1- foot to 2-foot low block wall on the northern portion of the site. There is one existing concrete driveway entrance along Yorba Linda Blvd provided primary access to the site. The elevation of the site ranges from 439 to 455 feet above sea level.
The project proposes the construction of sixty-two (62) multi‐family condominium units within twelve (12) buildings with open space areas that will incorporate landscaping to the maximum extent feasible. The project proposes onsite private drive aisles, parking areas, hardscaping, and landscaping, which can be accessed from the main entrance from the public right-of-way of Yorba Linda Blvd. Drive aisles and parking areas will be asphalt concrete pavement, and sidewalk areas will be Portland concrete

Drainage
Patterns/Connections
Stormwater runoff generally sheet flows overland in the southwesterly direction until it enters the right-of-way at Yorba Linda Blvd via the driveway.
Once runoff enters Yorba Linda Blvd, it is conveyed via curb and gutter west to a catch basin at the intersection of Yorba Linda Blvd and Ohio Street, approximately 120 feet west of the project.
The site experiences offsite runon along the northern property lines. There is an equestrian trail that runs along the northern property line that drains to the site’s northwest corner. The residential lots north of the equestrian trail and a portion of Lynn Lane drains to the northwest corner of the site as well.
Runoff from the site discharges into the Santa Ana River, ultimately discharging into the Pacific Ocean. The site is located within the Santa Ana River Watershed per the Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) Drainage System Map No. 08
All existing onsite storm drain connections, piping and inlets will be demolished and capped at the right-of-way as part of this development’s construction.
In the proposed condition, site runoff will be captured by two (2) proposed sump curb inlet Modular Wetland (MWS) Units and two (2) proposed grate

inlets. The MWS units will treat the required water quality treatment volume.
When the water quality treatment flow rate is exceeded, runoff will internally bypass in the MWS units and be directed through the proposed underground storm drain system and into underground detention pipes. Runoff will be directed from the detention pipes into a proposed sump pump located at the project entrance which will discharge runoff through a proposed parkway drain into Yorba Linda Blvd at pre development flow rates. During larger storm events, runoff will pond at the proposed catch basins near the entry driveway and discharge into the public right-of-way of Yorba Linda Blvd.
Upon entering surrounding streets, site stormwater runoff will follow the historic drainage path to the Santa Ana River and ultimately the Pacific Ocean.
The Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) devices will be located onsite upstream of the proposed storm drain overflow pipes to mitigate the required full trash captures requirements.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), FIRM rate map Number 06059C0068J, revised December 3, 2009, the site is located within the flood zone as follows: Zone X – “Area of Minimal Flood Hazard.” Refer to the Preliminary WQMP Exhibit in Attachment B of this report for the Modular Wetland System locations.

II.4 Post Development Drainage Characteristics
Post–development drainage will be consistent with a proposed attached Multi-Family Residential project.
The tributary areas and direction stormwater runoff for the proposed site are delineated within the Preliminary WQMP Exhibit based on the preliminary grading and drainage design. Refer to the Preliminary WQMP Exhibit in Attachment B of this report.
Currently, the site drains overland from the northeast corner to the southwest corner of the site and overflows over the existing driveway into the public right-of-way of Yorba Linda Blvd.
In the proposed condition, site runoff will be captured by two (2) proposed sump curb inlet Modular Weltand (MWS) units and two (2) proposed grate inlets. The MWS units will treat the runoff according to water quality requirements. When the water quality treatment flow rate is exceeded, runoff will be directed through the proposed underground storm drain system. The MWS units have an internal bypass system so when the water quality design flow rate is exceeded runoff will be directed over the internal weir and into underground storm drain facilities. All runoff will be directed into a proposed underground detention system which will feed a storm drain sump pump located at the project entrance which will discharge runoff through a proposed parkway drain into Yorba Linda Blvd at pre developed flow rates. During larger storm events, runoff will pond at the proposed catch basins near the entry driveway and discharge into the public right-of-way of Yorba Linda Blvd. Upon entering surrounding streets, site stormwater runoff will follow the historic drainage path to the Santa Ana River/ Pacific Ocean.
II.5 Property Ownership/Management
The property is currently owned by City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC. The Owner will be responsible for the long-term maintenance of the project’s storm water facilities (MWS Facilities, Stormwater Sump Pump, Parkway Drain) and conformance to this WQMP after construction is complete.

Soil Type, Geology, and
Infiltration Properties
Per the Geotechnical Engineering Investigation prepared by Alta California Geotechnical Inc., dated January 2025, the site’s geotechnical properties are described as the following:
“Based on Alta’s review of geologic literature and our subsurface investigation the project site is underlain by Pleistocene age very old alluvial fan deposits (Dibblee, 2001). The following is a brief description of this geologic unit encountered during this investigation. Very Old Alluvial Fan Deposits (Map symbol Qvof)”
“The very old alluvial fan deposits within the site consists primarily of inter-lensed silty sand, clayey sand, sand and gravelly sand that is slightly moist to moist and dense to very dense below. This unit was encountered up to 51 feet below ground surface (bgs).”
“From a geotechnical perspective, allowing storm water to infiltrate the onsite soil in concentrated areas increases the potential for settlement, liquefaction, and water-related damage to structures/improvements, such as wet slabs or pumping subgrade, and should be avoided where possible. If infiltration systems are required on this site, care should be taken in designing systems that control the storm water as much as possible.
Preliminary infiltration testing was as part of Alta’s geotechnical investigation. “

Project Performance Criteria (continued)
If HCOC exists, list
applicable
hydromodification
control performance
criteria (Section 7.II2.4.2.2 in MWQMP)
Per 7.II-2.4.2.2 of the MWQMP, HCOC exists for when the post-construction time of concentration decreases beyond 5% of a 2-year storm event and volume of storm water increases beyond 5% of a 2-year storm event thus potentially increasing the downstream erosion and adversely impacts on physical structure, aquatic, and riparian habitat. However, a site that infiltrates at least the runoff from a two-year storm event does not have an HCOC
If the excess volume cannot feasibly be retained, then retain the excess volume from the two-year runoff event to the maximum extent possible and implement on-site hydromodification controls such that post development runoff two-year peak flow rate is not greater than 110 percent of the predevelopment runoff two-year peak flow rate.
List applicable LID
performance criteria
(Section 7.II-2.4.3
from MWQMP)
According to Section 7.II-2.4.3 of the MWQMP, the available LID Treatment BMPs to be utilized in reducing the post-development impacts include infiltration, harvest, and use, evapotranspiration, or biotreat/biofilter, the 85th percentile of a 24-hour storm event.
This project proposes to utilize Biotreatment BMPs to treat the required stormwater runoff
List applicable
treatment control
BMP performance
criteria (Section 7.II3.2.2 from
MWQMP)
If it is not feasible to meet LID performance criteria through retention and/or biotreatment provided on-site or at a sub-regional/regional scale, then treatment control BMPs shall be provided on-site or off-site prior to discharge to waters of the US. Since the project proposes to satisfy LID performance criteria, therefore treatment control performance criteria are also fully satisfied. Sizing of treatment control BMPs (Biofiltration Systems) shall be based flow-based for the area being redeveloped to medium and high effectiveness for reducing the primary pollutants of concern, which will be considered in compliance.
This project proposes to utilize Biotreatment BMPs to treat the required storm water runoff. Refer to Attachment C for manufacturer’s specifications for the proposed Biofiltration BMP. Refer to Section IV.3.4, Biotreatment BMPs for additional information regarding BMP selection.

IV.2. SITE DESIGN AND DRAINAGE PLAN
The site proposes two (2) Drainage Management Areas (DMAs) as indicated on the WQMP Exhibit. The DMAs are based on the Grading and Drainage design. Each DMA will have an area drain system to collect and convey runoff from landscape, surface, and roof drainage to the proposed treatment devices. Pervious coverages located throughout the site will promote impervious area dispersion from roof and sidewalk runoff.
Street surface runoff will be collected and conveyed through curb inlet catch Modular Wetland (MWS) units or grated inlet catch basins. The MWS units are Biofiltration vaults for water quality treatment. During larger storm events when the proposed biofiltration BMPs are at capacity, stormwater will bypass within the units and be directed into underground storm drain detention system that feeds a stormwater sump pump.
The sump pump will discharge runoff through a proposed parkway drain at pre-development flow rates.
When the detention system and sump pump are at capacity, runoff will pond at the proposed catch basin near the project entry and flow over the proposed driveway and into the public right of way of Yorba Linda Blvd. The proposed sump pump will also consist of an overflow pipe that runoff will enter and be discharged through the proposed parkway drain into the public right of way of Yorba Linda Blvd.
The Modular Wetland System (MWS) Biofiltration vaults are designed to provide a 3-phase treatment train.
Initially, when the stormwater enters the system, a trash rack, filter media and settling chamber will capture large trash/ debris and sediment in the stormwater before entering the planting media. This system is designed to treat stormwater flow horizontally. Before the stormwater enters the planting or “wetland” chamber, the runoff flows through the 2nd phase, a pre-filter cartridge which captures fines TSS, metals, nutrients, and bacteria. The pre-filter chamber eliminates additional maintenance of the planting area. The wetland chamber is the 3rd phase of the system which provides final treatment through a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes. Refer to Section IV.3.4 of this report for sizing information of the Biofiltration Vaults.
Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) devices will be located onsite upstream of the proposed storm drain overflow pipes to mitigate the required full trash captures requirements.

IV.4 ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE PLAN (IF APPLICABLE)
IV.4.1 Water Quality Credits
Description of Proposed Project
Project Types that Qualify for Water Quality Credits (Select all that apply):
Redevelopment
projects that reduce
the overall
impervious footprint
of the project site.
Brownfield redevelopment, meaning
redevelopment, expansion, or reuse of
real property which may be
complicated by the presence or
potential presence of hazardous
substances, pollutants, or
contaminants, and which have the
potential to contribute to adverse
ground or surface WQ if not
redeveloped.
Higher density development projects
which include two distinct categories
(credits can only be taken for one
category): those with more than seven
units per acre of development (lower
credit allowance); vertical density
developments, for example, those with a
Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) of 2 or those
having more than 18 units per acre
(greater credit allowance).
Mixed use development, such as a
combination of residential,
commercial, industrial, office,
institutional, or other land uses which
incorporate design principles that can
demonstrate environmental benefits
that would not be realized through
single use projects (e.g. reduced
vehicle trip traffic with the potential to
reduce sources of water or air
pollution).
Transit-oriented developments, such
as a mixed use residential or commercial
area designed to maximize access to
public transportation; similar to above
criterion, but where the development
center is within one half mile of a mass
transit center (e.g. bus, rail, light rail, or
commuter train station). Such projects
would not be able to take credit for both
categories, but may have greater credit
assigned
Redevelopment
projects in an
established historic
district, historic
preservation area, or
similar significant
city area including
core City Center
areas (to be defined
through mapping).
Developments
with dedication of
undeveloped
portions to parks,
preservation areas
and other pervious
uses.
Developments
in a city center
area.
Developmen
ts in historic
districts or
historic
preservation
areas.
Live-work
developments, a variety
of developments designed
to support residential and
vocational needs together
– similar to criteria to
mixed use development;
would not be able to take
credit for both categories.
In-fill projects, the
conversion of empty
lots and other
underused spaces
into more
beneficially used
spaces, such as
residential or
commercial areas.

Section [________]
Stormwater Connector Pipe Screen
PART 1 – GENERAL
01.01.00 Purpose
The purpose of this specification is to establish generally acceptable criteria for Connector Pipe Screens used for collecting trash and debris inside catch basins. It is intended to serve as a guide to producers, distributors, architects, engineers, contractors, plumbers, installers, inspectors, agencies and users; to promote understanding regarding materials, manufacture and installation; and to provide for identification of devices complying with this specification.
01.02.00 Description
Stormwater Connector Pipe Screens (CPS) are used to prevent trash and debris from entering the stormwater system during dry weather and moderate storm flows by keeping the trash inside the catch basin. The CPS is a screen placed permanently or temporarily in a catch basin at the location of the outlet pipe. The screen separates trash and debris from stormwater treatment flows. Flows that exceed the treatment flow rate bypass over the top of the screen. When the outlet pipe is located below a curb opening the CPS features a lid to prevent debris from passing behind the screen and flowing directly to the outlet pipe. The CPS shall be designed to retain all trash larger than 5 mm (0.197 inches) in the catch basin.
01.03.00 Manufacturer
The manufacturer of the CPS shall be one that is regularly engaged in the engineering, design and production of systems developed for the treatment of stormwater runoff for at least (10) years, and which has a history of successful production, acceptable to the engineer of work. In accordance with the drawings, the CPS(s) shall be a screen device manufactured/distributed by Bio Clean Environmental Services, Inc., or assigned distributors or licensees. Bio Clean Environmental Services, Inc. can be reached at:
5796 Armada Drive, Suite 250
Carlsbad, CA 92008
Phone: (760) 433-7640
Fax: (760) 433-3176
www.biocleanenvironmental.net
01.04.00 Submittals
01.04.01 Submittal drawings will be provided with each order to the contractor and engineer of work.

Stormwater Connector Pipe Screen Page 2 of 4
• Screen
• Mounting hardware
• Bypass lid with supports (when required)
PART 2 – COMPONENTS
02.01.01 The CPS shall have a sufficient structural integrity to withstand a lateral force of standing water within the catch basin area when the screen becomes 100% clogged. The CPS unit shall be bolted to the catch basin walls.
02.01.02 The CPS shall be configured with deflector plates or screens preventing trash from falling between the screen and connector pipe. The deflector plate shall be designed to withstand a vertical load.
02.01.03 The gap at the bottom, sides, and joints of the CPS unit shall not exceed 5 mm (0.197 inches).
02.01.04 The CPS shall include vertical structural stiffeners extending the full length of the screen in the form as bends in the screen itself, a bolting surface to fasten the CPS to the wall of the catch basin, and support for the upper portion of the CPS unit referred to as the “bypass.”
02.01.05 All parts/components of the CPS unit must be sized to fit through the catch basin’s manhole opening.
02.01.06 The CPS frame shall be fabricated from 304 stainless steel.
02.01.07 The CPS screen shall be fabricated from perforated 304 stainless steel. The screen shall have a minimum thickness of 16 gauge. The geometrical opening shape shall have a diameter of 5 mm (0.197 inches).

02.01.10 The assembly bolts, screws, nuts, and washers shall be fabricated entirely from 316 stainless steel. The concrete anchor bolts shall use a wedge anchor, with Type 316 stainless steel threaded rods, nuts, and washers.
PART 3 – PERFORMANCE
03.01.00 General
03.01.01 Function - The CPS has no moving internal components and functions based on gravity flow, unless otherwise specified. Stormwater runoff enters the catch basin through a curb opening and flows toward the connector pipe. The CPS is placed to intercept flows prior to exiting the catch basin through the connector pipe. The CPS must be able to be removed through the catch basin opening. Stormwater flow up to the peak treatment rate is processed through the screen. Flows in excess of the peak treatment rate will overtop the screen in a bypass. The lid (when required) shall be place high enough above the screen to allow for full bypass flow.
03.01.02 Pollutants - The CPS will remove and retain trash and debris larger than 5 mm in diameter entering the catch basin during frequent storm events and specified flow rates.
03.01.03 Treatment Flow Rate - The CPS operates through gravity flow. The CPS is to be sized so the screen is capable of passing the calculated project specific water quality flow rate per local standards. All treatment flow rates must include a 50% screen clogging factor.
Stormwater Connector Pipe Screen Page 3 of 4
03.01.04 Bypass Flow Rate – The CPS is designed to fit within the catch basin in a way not to affect the existing hydraulics and treat or bypass all flows. The bypass must be sized with a surface area greater than the outlet pipe size, thus the CPS shall not be a critical point of flow restriction.
PART 4 - EXECUTION
04.01.00 General
The installation and use of the CPS shall conform to all applicable national, state, municipal and local specifications.
04.02.00 Installation

Street Sweeping and Vacuuming SE-7
January 2011 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 2
Construction
www.casqa.org
Description and Purpose
Street sweeping and vacuuming includes use of self-propelled and walk-behind equipment to remove sediment from streets and roadways, and to clean paved surfaces in preparation for final paving. Sweeping and vacuuming prevents sediment from the project site from entering storm drains or receiving waters.
Suitable Applications
Sweeping and vacuuming are suitable anywhere sediment is tracked from the project site onto public or private paved streets and roads, typically at points of egress. Sweeping and vacuuming are also applicable during preparation of paved surfaces for final paving.
Limitations
Sweeping and vacuuming may not be effective when sediment is wet or when tracked soil is caked (caked soil may need to be scraped loose).
Implementation
Controlling the number of points where vehicles can leave the site will allow sweeping and vacuuming efforts to be focused, and perhaps save money.
Inspect potential sediment tracking locations daily.
Visible sediment tracking should be swept or vacuumed on a daily basis.

Do not use kick brooms or sweeper attachments. These tend to spread the dirt rather than remove it.
If not mixed with debris or trash, consider incorporating the removed sediment back into the project
Costs
Rental rates for self-propelled sweepers vary depending on hopper size and duration of rental.
Expect rental rates from $58/hour (3 yd3 hopper) to $88/hour (9 yd3 hopper), plus operator costs. Hourly production rates vary with the amount of area to be swept and amount of sediment. Match the hopper size to the area and expect sediment load to minimize time spent dumping.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect BMPs in accordance with General Permit requirements for the associated project type and risk level. It is recommended that at a minimum, BMPs be inspected weekly, prior to forecasted rain events, daily during extended rain events, and after the conclusion of rain events.
When actively in use, points of ingress and egress must be inspected daily. When tracked or spilled sediment is observed outside the construction limits, it must be removed at least daily. More frequent removal, even continuous removal, may be required in some jurisdictions.
Be careful not to sweep up any unknown substance or any object that may be potentially hazardous.
Adjust brooms frequently; maximize efficiency of sweeping operations. After sweeping is finished, properly dispose of sweeper wastes at an approved dumpsite.

Modular Wetland System - Linear
Inspection Summary
o Inspect Pre-Treatment, Biofiltration and Discharge Chambers – average inspection interval is 6 to 12 months.
(15 minute average inspection time).
o NOTE: Pollutant loading varies greatly from site to site and no two sites are the same. Therefore, the first year requires inspection monthly during the wet season and every other month during the dry season in order to observe and record the amount of pollutant loading the system is receiving.

Inspection Overview
As with all stormwater BMPs inspection and maintenance on the MWS Linear is necessary.
Stormwater regulations require that all BMPs be inspected and maintained to ensure they are operating as designed to allow for effective pollutant removal and provide protection to receiving water bodies. It is recommended that inspections be performed multiple times during the first year to assess the site specific loading conditions. This is recommended because pollutant loading and pollutant characteristics can vary greatly from site to site. Variables such as nearby soil erosion or construction sites, winter sanding on roads, amount of daily traffic and land use can increase pollutant loading on the system. The first year of inspections can be used to set inspection and maintenance intervals for subsequent years to ensure appropriate maintenance is provided. Without appropriate maintenance a BMP will exceed its storage capacity which can negatively affect its continued performance in removing and retaining captured pollutants.
Inspection Equipment
Following is a list of equipment to allow for simple and effective inspection of the MWS Linear:
Modular Wetland Inspection Form
Flashlight
Manhole hook or appropriate tools to remove access hatches and covers Appropriate traffic control signage and procedures
Measuring pole and/or tape measure.
Protective clothing and eye protection.
7/16” open or closed ended wrench.
Large permanent black marker (initial inspections only – first year) Note: entering a confined space requires appropriate safety and certification. It is generally not required for routine inspections of the system.
www.modularwetlands.com
Inspection Steps
The core to any successful stormwater BMP maintenance program is routine inspections. The inspection steps required on the MWS Linear are quick and easy. As mentioned above the first year should be seen as the maintenance interval establishment phase. During the first year more frequent inspections should occur in order to gather loading data and maintenance requirements for that specific site. This information can be used to establish a base for long term inspection and maintenance interval requirements.
The MWS Linear can be inspected though visual observation without entry into the system. All necessary pre-inspection steps must be carried out before inspection occurs, especially traffic control and other safety measures to protect the inspector and near-by pedestrians from any dangers associated with an open access hatch or manhole. Once these access covers have been safely opened the inspection process can proceed:
Prepare the inspection form by writing in the necessary information including project name, location, date & time, unit number and other info (see inspection form). Observe the inside of the system through the access hatches. If minimal light is available and vision into the unit is impaired utilize a flashlight to see inside the system and all of its chambers.
Look for any out of the ordinary obstructions in the inflow pipe, pre-treatment chamber, biofiltration chamber, discharge chamber or outflow pipe. Write down any observations on the inspection form.
Through observation and/or digital photographs estimate the amount of trash, debris and sediment accumulated in the pre-treatment chamber. Utilizing a tape measure or measuring stick estimate the amount of trash, debris and sediment in this chamber. Record this depth on the inspection form.
www.modularwetlands.com
Through visual observation inspect the condition of the pre-filter cartridges. Look for excessive build-up of sediments on the cartridges, any build-up on the top of the cartridges, or clogging of the holes. Record this information on the inspection form. The pre-filter cartridges can further be inspected by removing the cartridge tops and assessing the color of the BioMediaGREEN filter cubes (requires entry into pre-treatment chamber – see notes above regarding confined space entry). Record the color of the material. New material is a light green in color. As the media becomes clogged it will turn darker in color, eventually becoming dark brown or black. Using the below color indicator record the percentage of media exhausted. The biofiltration chamber is generally maintenance free due to the system’s advanced pretreatment chamber. For units which have open planters with vegetation it is recommended that the vegetation be inspected. Look for any plants that are dead or showing signs of disease or other negative stressors. Record the general health of the plants on the inspection and indicate through visual observation or digital photographs if trimming of the vegetation is needed.
The discharge chamber houses the orifice control structure, drain down filter and is connected to the outflow pipe. It is important to check to ensure the orifice is in proper operating conditions and free of any obstructions. It is also important to assess the condition of the drain down filter media which utilizes a block form of the BioMediaGREEN. Assess in the same manner as the cubes in the Pre-Filter Cartridge as mentioned above. Generally, the discharge chamber will be clean and free of debris. Inspect the water marks on the side walls. If possible, inspect the discharge chamber during a rain event to assess the amount of flow leaving the system while it is at 100% capacity (pre-treatment chamber water level at peak HGL). The water level of the flowing water should be compared to the watermark level on the side walls which is an indicator of the highest discharge rate the system achieved when initially installed.
Record on the form is there is any difference in level from watermark in inches. 0% -- Percent Clogged -- 100%

NOTE: During the first few storms the water level in the outflow chamber should be observed and a 6” long horizontal watermark line drawn (using a large permanent marker) at the water level in the discharge chamber while the system is operating at 100% capacity. The diagram below illustrates where a line should be drawn. This line is a reference point for future inspections of the system:
Water level in the discharge chamber is a function of flow rate and pipe size. Observation of water level during the first few months of operation can be used as a benchmark level for future inspections. The initial mark and all future observations shall be made when system is at 100% capacity (water level at maximum level in pre-treatment chamber). If future water levels are below this mark when system is at 100% capacity this is an indicator that maintenance to the pre-filter cartridges may be needed. Finalize inspection report for analysis by the maintenance manager to determine if maintenance is required.

Maintenance Overview
The time has come to maintain your Modular Wetland System Linear (MWS Linear). To ensure successful and efficient maintenance on the system we recommend the following. The MWS Linear can be maintained by removing the access hatches over the systems various chambers. All necessary pre-maintenance steps must be carried out before maintenance occurs, especially traffic control and other safety measures to protect the inspector and near-by pedestrians from any dangers associated with an open access hatch or manhole. Once traffic control has been set up per local and state regulations and access covers have been safely opened the maintenance process can begin. It should be noted that some maintenance activities require confined space entry. All confined space requirements must be strictly followed before entry into the system. In addition the following is recommended:
Prepare the maintenance form by writing in the necessary information including project name, location, date & time, unit number and other info (see maintenance form). Set up all appropriate safety and cleaning equipment. Ensure traffic control is set up and properly positioned. Prepare a pre-checks (OSHA, safety, confined space entry) are performed.

Procedure 1
Clean Inlet Filter
(does not apply to vault type)
Modular Wetland Systems, Inc. recommends the catch basin filter be inspected and cleaned a minimum of once every six months and replacement of hydrocarbon booms once a year. The procedure is easily done with the use of any standard vacuum truck. Before doing maintenance please use proper safety and traffic control. 1) Remove grate or manhole, remove the deflector shield (grate type only). Note: entry into an underground stormwater vault such as an inlet vault requires certification in confined space training. 2) Remove all trash, debris, organics, and sediments collected by the inlet filter insert either manually or with the use of a vactor truck.
3) Evaluate hydrocarbon boom. If the boom is filled with hydrocarbons and oils it should be replaced. Attach new boom to basket with plastic ties through pre-drilled holes in basket. Place the deflector shield (grate type only) back into the filter.
Hydrocarbon boom should be replaced annually. (The hydrocarbon boom may be classified as hazardous material and will have to be picked up and disposed of as hazardous waste). 10 Minutes
Procedure 2
Vacuum Catch Basin
Modular Wetland Systems, Inc. recommends the separation chamber be inspected and cleaned a minimum of once a year. The procedure is easily done with the use of any standard vacuum truck. Before doing maintenance please use proper safety and traffic control.
1) Remove grate or manhole.
2) Remove catch basin filter.
3) Spray down pollutants accumulated on cartridge filters and catch basin walls. 4) Vacuum out sediments and debris accumulated on catch basin floor. 5) Replace catch basin filter, and replace grate or manhole cover. 25 Minutes
Procedure 3
Replace BioMedia
Green Media Filter
Modular Wetland Systems, Inc. recommends the BioMediaGREEN Cartridge Filters be inspected and cleaned a minimum of once a year. The procedure will require prior maintenance of catch basin. Before doing maintenance please use proper safety and traffic control.
1) Remove grate, remove catch basin filter.
2) Perform maintenance activities on catch basin.
3) Enter separation chamber, unscrew the two bolts holding the lid on the cartridge filter. This will expose the 14 pieces of BioMediaGREEN in each cartridge. 4) Evaluate media condition, replace if necessary. If the spaces between the media are filled with sediment and the surface of the media is dark brown or black the media should be replaced. The old media can be removed by hand by pulling the media pieces up out of the cartridge and taking them out of the catch basin. 5) Once all old media is removed, spray down the interior of the cartridge and vacuum out accumulated debris.
6) Use new pieces of BioMediaGREEN and slide down over the perforated PVC risers. The media will only go in one way for easy installation. Replace media over all risers.
5) Replace cartridge filter lid, replace catch basin filter, and replace grate or manhole cover.
Modular Wetland Systems, Inc. recommends the drain down filter be inspected and maintained a minimum of once a year.
1) Open hatch of discharge chamber, enter chamber.
2) Unlatch fiberglass cover, remove media block, replace with new block, replace and latch cover.
3) Exit chamber, close and lock down the hatch.
45 Minutes
Procedure 4
Replace Wetland
Media
Modular Wetland Systems, Inc. recommends the wetland media be evaluated every 3 to 5 years to test flow rate. The media life is approximately 15 to 20 years. The wetland media is an expanded shale that can be ordered from the manufacturer or independent supplier. If the flow through the wetland filter is decreasing the internal inflow and outflow pipes leading to and from the wetland chamber can be jetted. If the flow through the wetland is still minimal then the media may need to be replaced. To replace the media the following steps are required. Before doing maintenance please use proper safety and traffic control.
1) Remove plants and dispose. Have new plants standing ready to plant. 2) Use a larger vacuum truck to remove the media from the wetland chamber. 3) Spray down the chamber walls and remove all sediment and water. 4) Replace with new wetland media and plant plants.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
CPS devices should be maintained by individuals who are trained in proper disposal procedures, confined space entry and traffic safety regulations. When servicing a Bio Clean CPS device be sure to follow all safety and traffic control protocols as well as wearing all proper personal protection equipment such as gloves, safety glasses, hard-hat, safety vest and work boots.
Visual Inspection
1. Begin by inspecting the inflow of the catch basin where the Bio Clean CPS device is located.
Check for any obstructions to inflow of the CB unit. If any large obstructions are found, have them removed. Once the inflow inspection is completed, remove the man-hole cover for further inspection. (Note: Confined Space Entry Procedures may apply if trained personnel intend to enter the interior space of any Catch Basin. Please follow all applicable confined space entry procedures)
2. Remove the manhole cover and visually estimate the amount and types of debris found in the CB unit. Look for any visual signs of damage that may compromise the CB unit to function properly.
Inspect for any standing water in the CB unit as well as for large amounts of sediment and debris surrounding the CPS device. If standing water and high sediment volume is found, remove water, sediment and debris by vacuum truck or by other debris removal methods.
2 | Page
Cleaning Procedures and Frequencies
1. Like all other storm water BMP’s, Bio Clean CPS devices require periodic maintenance.
Routine inspection and maintenance intervals for all CPS devices are typically twice per year for inspections and once per year for maintenance service. Bio Clean CPS devices may require more frequent maintenance service if the device is located in a high debris loading drainage area, such as certain downtown areas, retail/restaurant, or residential areas where a significant amount of vegetation/foliage is located. In such cases, Bio Clean CPS devices may require more frequent inspection and maintenance service, which could range from twice per year to monthly inspection and maintenance service, depending on pollutant load conditions.
2. To begin Bio Clean CPS cleaning procedures, conduct a visual inspection of the CPS device and the surrounding area to ensure a safe working environment. Setup appropriate barriers and signage as necessary to establish a work zone surrounding the catch basin. Once the work zone has been established, remove the manhole cover from the catch basin.
3. Once the manhole cover is removed from the basin the Bio Clean CPS is ready for servicing. All debris can be removed by either a vacuum truck or manually removing sediment and debris by hand.
4. Bio Clean CPS devices shall be cleaned using a pressure washer as may be necessary if any materials are found to cause occlusion or clogging of the screen.
Disposal
1. All trash and debris removed from the Bio Clean CPS unit shall be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulation.
2. Solid waste disposal can be coordinated with local landfills. Liquids may need to be disposed of by wastewater treatment plant, municipal vacuum truck decant facility or approved facility.

1.3 Report Limitations
The conclusions and recommendations in this report are based on the information generated during this investigation and our review of the referenced reports. The materials adjacent to or beneath those observed may have different characteristics than those observed, and no representations are made as to the quality or extent of the materials not observed.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Site Location and Existing Conditions
The rectangular shaped ±3.9-acre site is relatively flat and consists of singlefamily residences. The site is bounded to the north by a residential property, to the west by a residential property and synagogue, to the east by a park, and to the south by Yorba Linda Boulevard.
Historic aerial images of the site are available as far back as 1946 and indicate the site and surrounding area was comprised of citrus groves. By 1963 the single-family residences were built. The site has remained largely unchanged since, with the exception of removal of some of the trees.
Our literature review indicates that the site is underlain by mid to early Pleistocene age very old alluvial fan deposits. No known active faults have been mapped at the site or in the immediate site vicinity.
2.2 Proposed Development
Alta anticipates that the site will be developed to accommodate a multi-family residential development. Alta anticipates that conventional cut-and-fill grading techniques will be used to develop the site for the support of wood-frame construction with shallow foundations and reinforced concrete slabs-on-grade, and associated improvements.

3.0 SITE INVESTIGATION
3.1 Current Subsurface Investigation
Alta conducted a subsurface investigation on December 9, 2024, consisting of the drilling, logging, and select sampling of five (5) hollow-stem auger borings up to a maximum depth of 51 feet below the ground surface (bgs). In addition, two (2) shallow borings (5 and 10 feet deep) were advanced to conduct preliminary infiltration testing. The locations of exploratory borings are shown on Plate 1 and the logs are presented in Appendix B.
Laboratory testing was performed on ring and bulk samples obtained during the field investigation. A brief description of the laboratory test procedures and the test results are presented in Appendix C.
3.2 Infiltration Testing
Infiltration testing was performed by Alta on December 10, 2024, utilizing percolation methods in accordance with County of Orange Storm Water Standards. Percolation rates were converted to infiltration rates utilizing the Porchet method. The resulting field infiltration rates, with no factor of safety, are presented below in Table 3-1. Recommendations for infiltration BMP design are presented in Section 6.3.

4.0 GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
4.1 Geologic and Geomorphic Setting
Regionally, the site is located in the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province, which characterizes the southwest portion of Southern California. The Peninsular Ranges province is composed of Mesozoic age plutonic and metamorphic rock, lesser amounts of Tertiary age volcanic and sedimentary rock, and Quaternary age drainage in-fills and minor sediment veneers. The Peninsular Ranges are divisible into northwest-trending sub-blocks that extend south into Baja California and terminate to the north against the Transverse Ranges province.
4.2 Stratigraphy
Based on Alta’s review of geologic literature and our subsurface investigation the project site is underlain by Pleistocene age very old alluvial fan deposits (Dibblee, 2001). The following is a brief description of this geologic unit encountered during this investigation.
4.2.1 Very Old Alluvial Fan Deposits (Map symbol Qvof)
The very old alluvial fan deposits within the site consists primarily of inter-lensed silty sand, clayey sand, sand and gravelly sand that is slightly moist to moist and dense to very dense below. This unit was encountered up to 51 feet below ground surface (bgs).
4.3 Geologic Structure
4.3.1 Tectonic Framework
Jennings (1985) defined eight structural provinces within California that have been classified by predominant regional fault trends and similar fold structure. Within this framework, the subject site is located within the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province, controlled by the dominant northwest trend of the San Andreas Fault and the subparallel San Jacinto
Project Number 1-0568 Page 5
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Fault, Whittier/Elsinore Fault, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault, all exhibit right lateral strike-slip movement. The closest of these major faults to the site is the Whittier-Elsinore Fault, located 2.1 kilometers from the site. These fault systems have been studied extensively and in a large part control the geologic structure of the region.
4.3.2 Regionally Mapped Active Faults
Active faults in the region, including the Puente Hills Fault (6.8 kilometers from the site, which is a thrust fault, and the Whittier-Elsinore Fault (2.1 kilometers from the site), which is a strike slip fault.
4.3.3 Geologic Structures
Based upon our site investigation and literature review, the onsite subsurface is essentially flat lying sediments that do not appear to be faulted or folded.
4.4 Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in any borings during Alta’s recent investigation, to a depth of roughly 51 feet bgs. No nearby groundwater well data is available.
4.5 Earthquake Hazards
The subject site is located in southern California, which is a tectonically active region. The type and magnitude of seismic hazards affecting a site are dependent on the distance to the causative fault and the intensity and magnitude of the seismic event. The seismic hazard may be primary, such as surface rupture and/or ground shaking, or secondary, such as liquefaction and/or ground lurching.
Project Number 1-0568 Page 6
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
4.5.1 Local and Regional Faulting
The closest known active fault to the site is the Whittier-Elsinore Fault located 2.1 kilometers from the site. No known active faults exist below the site or in the immediate site vicinity.
4.5.2 Seismicity
Ground shaking hazards caused by earthquakes along other active regional faults exist. The 2022 California Building Code requires usemodified spectral accelerations and velocities for most structural designs.
Seismic design parameters using soil profile types identified in the 2022 California Building Code are presented in Section 7.3.
4.5.3 Surface Rupture
Active faults are not known to exist within the project and a review of Special Publication 42 indicates the site is not within a California State designated earthquake fault zone. Accordingly, the potential for fault surface rupture on the subject site is low.
4.5.4 Liquefaction
Seismic agitation of relatively loose saturated sands, silty sands, and some silts can result in a buildup of pore pressure. If the pore pressure exceeds the overburden stresses, a temporary quick condition known as liquefaction can occur. Liquefaction effects can manifest in several ways including: 1) loss of bearing; 2) lateral spread; 3) dynamic settlement; and 4) flow failure. Lateral spreading has typically been the most damaging mode of failure.
In general, the more recent that a sediment has been deposited, the more likely it will be susceptible to liquefaction. Other factors that must be considered are groundwater, confining stresses, relative density, and the intensity and duration of seismically induced ground shaking.
Project Number 1-0568 Page 7
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Based on the fact that groundwater was not encountered in the borings during our investigation, plus the dense nature of the very old alluvial fan deposits with the removal and re-compaction recommended in this report, the potential for dynamic settlement due to liquefaction is considered to be remote.
4.5.5 Dry Sand Settlement
Dry sand settlement is the process of non-uniform settlement of the ground surface during a seismic event. Based on our subsurface investigation and our removal/recompaction recommendations, the potential for onsite dry sand settlement is anticipated to be nil.
4.6 Regional Subsidence
The site is not located in an area designated as susceptible to subsidence. Upon implementation of the remedial grading recommendations presented herein, the effects of subsidence on the development are considered to be negligible. If subsidence due to groundwater extraction were to occur, it would likely affect the entire region and not result in differential settlement across the site.
5.0 ENGINEERING PROPERTIES AND ANALYSIS
5.1 Materials Properties
Presented herein is a general discussion of the engineering properties of the onsite materials that will be encountered during construction of the proposed project. Descriptions of the soil (Unified Soil Classification System) are presented on the boring logs in Appendix B.
5.1.1 Excavation Characteristics
Based on the data provided from the subsurface investigation, it is our opinion that excavation characteristics across the site are favorable, such that conventional equipment can be utilized.
Project Number 1-0568 Page 8
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
5.1.2 Compressibility
The upper portions of the very old alluvial fan deposits are considered compressible and unsuitable to support the proposed improvements.
Recommended removal depths are presented in Section 6.1.2.
5.1.3 Moisture
The moisture content of the very old alluvial fan deposits that will require removal and recompaction as discussed in Section 6.1.2 are typically over-optimum.
5.1.4 Hydro-Consolidation
Hydro-consolidation is the effect of introducing water into soil that is prone to collapse. Upon loading and initial wetting, the soil structure and apparent strength are altered resulting in almost immediate settlement.
That settlement can have adverse impacts on engineered structures, particularly in areas where it is manifested differentially. Differential settlements are typically associated with differential wetting, irregularities in the subsurface soil conditions, or irregular loading patterns.
Based on laboratory testing results presented in Appendix C, there is minimal potential for hydro-collapse in the very old alluvial fan deposits bulks when saturated and under loading.
5.1.5 Expansion Potential
Based on expansion index testing performed during our subsurface investigation (Appendix C), the majority of soils onsite are “very low” to “low” in expansion potential (0≤EI≤50, Appendix C) when tested per ASTM D: 4829.
Project Number 1-0568 Page 9
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
5.1.6 Earthwork Adjustments
The values presented in Table 5-1 are deemed appropriate for estimating purposes and may be used to balance earthwork quantities. As is the case with every project, contingencies should be made to adjust the earthwork balance when grading is in-progress and actual conditions are better defined.
TABLE 5-1
Earthwork Adjustment Factors
Geologic Unit Adjustment Factor Range Average
Very old alluvial fan deposits
(within the upper 3 feet) Shrink 6% to 10% 8%
Very old alluvial fan deposits (below
3 feet) Shrink 0% to 4% 2%
5.1.7 Chemical Analyses
Chemical testing was performed on samples of material underlying the proposed site during our subsurface investigation. Soluble sulfate test results indicate that the soluble sulfate concentrations of the soils tested are classified as negligible (Category S0) per ACI 318-14.
Negligible chloride levels were detected in the soils onsite. Based on laboratory results of soluble sulfate, chloride, and pH testing as presented in Appendix C, the onsite soils are classified as “non-corrosive” (Caltrans, 2022). Additional discussions on corrosion are presented in Section 7.9.
5.2 Engineering Analysis
Presented below is a general discussion of the engineering analysis methods that were utilized to develop the conclusions and recommendations presented in this report.
Project Number 1-0568 Page 10
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
5.2.1 Bearing Capacity and Lateral Earth Pressures
Ultimate bearing capacity values were obtained using the graphs and formula presented in NAVFAC DM-7.1. Allowable bearing was determined by applying a factor of safety of at least 3 to the ultimate bearing capacity. Static lateral earth pressures were calculated using Rankine methods for active and passive cases. If it is desired to use Coulomb forces, a separate analysis specific to the application can be conducted.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on Alta’s findings during our subsurface investigation, the laboratory test results, and our staff’s previous experience in the area, it is Alta’s opinion that the development of the site is feasible from a geotechnical perspective. Presented below are recommendations that should be incorporated into site development and construction plans.
6.1.1 Site Preparation
Vegetation, construction debris, and other deleterious materials are unsuitable as structural fill material and should be disposed of offsite prior to commencing grading/construction. Any septic tanks, seepage pits or wells should be abandoned as per the County of Orange Department of Health Services.
6.1.2 Unsuitable Soil Removals
The upper portions of the very old alluvial fan deposits are compressible and as such, are not suitable to support the proposed structures.
Therefore, it is anticipated that, on average, the upper three (3) to five (5) feet of existing soils will require removal and recompaction, extending a minimum of five (5) feet horizontally outside of the structures. This recommended removal combined with the foundation recommendations
Project Number 1-0568 Page 11
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
presented in Section 7.1 should provide suitable support for the proposed structures.
Footings for structures should be underlain by a minimum of two (2) feet of compacted fill. As such, for building pads where unsuitable soil removals do not provide the minimum depth of compacted fill, or where design grades and/or remedial grading activities create cut/fill transitions, the cut and shallow fill portions of the building pads should be over-excavated during grading and replaced with compacted fill.
The Project Geotechnical Consultant should observe the removal bottom prior to placing fill. If unsuitable soils such as undocumented artificial fill is exposed upon the completion of the removals recommended above, additional removals may be required.
For fill areas in parking lots/drive aisles, in general, a minimum removal and recompaction of the upper two (2) feet is recommended, however all undocumented artificial fill shall be removed and recompacted. For cuts greater than two (2) feet in street areas, removals are not required. For cuts less than two (2) feet, the two (2) foot removal and recompaction applies.
Material removed as part of the unsuitable soil removals can be used as artificial fill, provided it is free of deleterious materials.
6.2 General Earthwork Recommendations
6.2.1 Compaction Standards
All fill and processed natural ground shall be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent, as determined by ASTM Test Method:
D-1557. Fill material should be moisture conditioned to optimum moisture or above, and as generally discussed in Alta’s Earthwork
Project Number 1-0568 Page 12
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Specification Section presented in Appendix E. Compaction shall be achieved with the use of sheepsfoot rollers or similar kneading type equipment. Mixing and moisture conditioning will be required in order to achieve the recommended moisture conditions.
6.2.2 Groundwater/Seepage
No groundwater was encountered during our subsurface investigation.
Perched water conditions could be encountered depending on the time of year construction occurs.
6.2.3 Documentation of Removals
All removal/over-excavation bottoms should be observed and approved by the project Geotechnical Consultant prior to fill placement.
Consideration should be given to surveying the removal bottoms and undercuts after approval by the geotechnical consultant and prior to the placement of fill. Staking should be provided to verify undercut locations and depths.
6.2.4 Treatment of Removal Bottoms
At the completion of removals/over-excavation, the exposed removal bottom should be ripped to a minimum depth of eight (8) inches, moisture-conditioned to above optimum moisture content and compacted in-place to the project standards.
6.2.5 Fill Placement
After removals are completed and scarification and compaction of the removal bottom is performed, additional fill may be placed. Fill should be placed in eight-inch bulk maximum lifts, moisture conditioned to optimum moisture content or above, compacted and tested as grading/construction progresses until final grades are attained.
Project Number 1-0568 Page 13
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
6.2.6 Moisture Content
The moisture content of the upper in-situ soils varies, as shown in the boring logs presented in Appendix B. The majority of the upper several feet of onsite soils are dry to slightly moist and will require moisture conditioning prior to placement as compacted fill.
6.2.7 Mixing
Mixing of materials may be necessary to prevent layering of different soil types and/or different moisture contents. The mixing should be accomplished prior to and as part of compaction of each fill lift.
6.2.8 Import Soils
Imported soils, if necessary, should consist of clean, structural quality, low expansive, compactable materials similar to the on-site soils and should be free of trash, debris or other objectionable materials. The project Geotechnical Consultant should be notified not less than 72 hours in advance of the locations of any soils proposed for import. Import sources should be sampled, tested, and approved by the project Geotechnical Consultant at the source prior to the importation of the soils to the site. The project Civil Engineer should include these requirements on plans and specifications for the project.
6.2.9 Utility Trenches
6.2.9.1 Excavation
Utility trenches should be supported, either by laying back excavations or shoring, in accordance with applicable OSHA standards. The existing site soils are classified as Soil Type "B" per OSHA standards. Upon completion of the
recommended removals and recompaction, the artificial fill will be classified as Soil Type “B”. The Project Geotechnical
Project Number 1-0568 Page 14
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Consulting should be consulted if geologic conditions vary from what is presented in this report.
6.2.9.2 Backfill
Utility trench backfill within the City of Fullerton backfill shall conform to the City Standard of utilizing Class II aggregate base compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry
density as determined by ASTM D-1557.
From a geotechnical perspective, private utility trenches may utilize onsite soils as backfill, based on approval by the governing agencies. Onsite soils will not be suitable for use as bedding material but will be suitable for use in backfill provided oversized materials are removed. No surcharge
loads should be imposed above excavations. This includes spoil piles, lumber, concrete trucks, or other construction materials and equipment. Drainage above excavations
should be directed away from the banks. Care should be
taken to avoid saturation of the soils. Compaction should be accomplished by mechanical means. Jetting of native soils will not be acceptable.
Under-slab trenches should also be compacted to project specifications. If select granular backfill (SE > 30) is used, compaction by flooding may be acceptable.
Project Number 1-0568 Page 15
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
6.2.10 Backcut Stability
Temporary backcuts, if required during unsuitable soil removals, should be made no steeper than 1:1 without review and approval of the geotechnical consultant. Flatter backcuts may be necessary where geologic conditions dictate and where minimum width dimensions are to be maintained.
Care should be taken during remedial grading operations in order to minimize risk of failure. Should failure occur, complete removal of the disturbed material will be required.
In consideration of the inherent instability created by temporary construction backcuts for removals, it is imperative that grading schedules are coordinated to minimize the unsupported exposure time of these excavations. Once started, these excavations and subsequent fill operations should be maintained to completion without intervening delays imposed by avoidable circumstances. In cases where five-day workweeks comprise a normal schedule, grading should be planned to avoid exposing at-grade or near-grade excavations through a non-work weekend. Where improvements may be affected by temporary instability, either on or offsite, further restrictions such as slot cutting, extending work days, implementing weekend schedules, and/or other requirements considered critical to serving specific circumstances may be imposed.
6.3 Storm Water Infiltration Systems
From a geotechnical perspective, allowing storm water to infiltrate the onsite soil in concentrated areas increases the potential for settlement, liquefaction, and water-related damage to structures/improvements, such as wet slabs or pumping subgrade, and should be avoided where possible. If infiltration systems
Project Number 1-0568 Page 16
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
are required on this site, care should be taken in designing systems that control the storm water as much as possible.
Preliminary infiltration testing was as part of Alta’s geotechnical investigation.
The resulting infiltration rates for P-1 and P-2 were 0.8 and 0.1-inches per hour, respectively. The results do not include a factor of safety.
The Project Geotechnical Consultant should review the final WQMP design prior to construction.
6.4 Boundary Conditions
Construction of retaining/screen walls along the site boundaries may require additional geotechnical recommendations concerning unsuitable soil removals and foundation design parameters. Boundary conditions for the project should be reviewed by the Project Geotechnical Consultant as the design progresses.
7.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
7.1 Structural Design
It is anticipated that multi-story wood-framed residential structures with slab ongrade and shallow foundations will be constructed. Upon the completion of rough grading, finish grade samples should be collected and tested in order to provide specific recommendations as they relate to the individual building pads.
These test results and corresponding design recommendations should be presented in a final rough grading report. Final slab and foundation design recommendations should be made based upon specific structure sitings, loading conditions, and as-graded soil conditions.
It is anticipated that the majority of onsite soils will possess “very low” to “low” expansion potential when tested in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D: 4829. For budgeting purposes, the following foundation design requirements for a range of potential expansion characteristics are presented.

Minimum Footing Reinforcement No. 4 rebar, one (1) on top, one (1) on bottom Minimum Slab Thickness 4 inches (actual)
Minimum Slab Reinforcement No. 3 rebar spaced 18 inches on center, each way Under-Slab Requirement See Section 7.2
Slab Subgrade Moisture Minimum of 110 percent of optimum moisture to a depth of 12 inches prior to placing concrete.
Footing Embedment Adjacent to
Swales and Slopes
If exterior footings adjacent to drainage swales are to exist within five (5) feet horizontally of the swale, the footing should be embedded sufficiently to assure embedment below the swale bottom is maintained. Footings adjacent to slopes should be embedded such that at least five- (5) feet is provided horizontally from edge of the footing to the face of the slope.
Garages
A grade beam reinforced continuously with the garage footings shall be constructed across the garage entrance, tying together the ends of the perimeter footings and between individual spread footings. This grade beam should be embedded at the same depth as the adjacent perimeter footings. A thickened slab, separated by a cold joint from the garage beam, should be provided at the garage entrance. Minimum dimensions of the thickened edge shall be six (6) inches deep. Footing depth, width and reinforcement should be the same as the structure. Slab thickness, reinforcement and under-slab treatment should be the same as the structure.
7.1.2 Post-Tensioned Slabs/Foundation Design Recommendations Post-tensioned slabs for the project may be designed utilizing the parameters presented in Tables 7-1 and 7-3. The parameters presented herein are based on methodology provided in the Design of PostTensioned Slabs-On-Ground, Third Edition, by the Post-Tensioning Institute, in accordance with the 2022 CBC.

The minimum footing embedments presented herein are based on expansion indexes. The structural engineer should determine minimum embedments based on the number of floors supported by the footings, the structural loading, and the requirements of the latest California Building Code. If mat slabs are utilized, alternate embedment depths can be provided.
Moisture Barrier
A moisture barrier should be provided in accordance with the recommendations presented in Section 7.2 The parameters presented herein are based on procedures presented in the Design of Post-Tensioned Slabs-OnGround, Third Edition. No corrections for vertical barriers at the edge of the slab, or for adjacent vegetation have been assumed. The design parameters are based on a Constant Suction Value of 3.9 pF.
7.2 Moisture Barrier
A moisture and vapor retarding system should be placed below the slabs-ongrade in portions of the structure considered to be moisture sensitive and should be capable of effectively preventing the migration of water and reducing the transmission of water vapor to acceptable levels. Historically, a 10-mil plastic membrane, such as Visqueen, placed between two to four inches of clean sand, has been used for this purpose. The use of this system or other systems can be considered, at the discretion of the designer, provided the system reduces the vapor transmission rates to acceptable levels.

The site classes were determined based on the referenced reports and published geologic maps in the area in general conformance with Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-16.
Based on the density of the underlying soils, a Site Class of C (shear wave velocity of 259 m/s) was selected. The seismic design parameters were calculated using a program based on the USGS website and ASCE 7-16 procedures. The resulting values are presented in Table 7-4.

7.4 Block Walls
Block walls, if used, should be embedded a minimum of 2 feet below the lowest adjacent grade. Construction joints (not more than 20 feet apart) should be included in the block wall construction. Side yard walls should be structurally separated from the rear yard wall.
7.5 Footing Excavations
Soils from the footing excavations should not be placed in slab-on-grade areas unless properly compacted and tested. The excavations should be cleaned of all loose/sloughed materials and be neatly trimmed at the time of concrete placement.
7.6 Retaining Wall Design
Retaining walls should be founded on compacted fill and should be backfilled with granular soils that allow for drainage behind the wall. Foundations may be designed in accordance with the recommendations presented in Table 7-1, above. Unrestrained walls, free to rotate at least 0.001 radians, may be designed to resist lateral pressures imposed by a fluid with a unit weight determined in accordance with Table 7-5 below. The table also presents design parameters for restrained retaining walls. These parameters may be used to design retaining walls that may be considered as restrained due to the method of construction or location (corner sections of unrestrained retaining walls).

Project Number 1-0568 Page 22
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Per the requirements of the CBC, the seismic force acting on the retaining walls with backfill exceeding 6-feet in height may be resolved utilizing the formula
19.5H2 lb/lineal ft (H=height of the wall). This force acts at approximately 0.6H above the base of the wall (inverted triangle). The seismic value can be converted as required by the retaining wall engineer. Retaining walls should be designed in general accordance with Section 1807A.2 of the 2022 CBC. Restrained retaining walls should be designed for “at-rest” conditions, utilizing at-rest pressure.
The design loads presented in the above table are to be applied on the retaining wall in a horizontal fashion and as such friction between wall and retained soils should not be allowed in the retaining wall analyses. Additional allowances should be made in the retaining wall design to account for the influence of construction loads, temporary loads, and possible nearby structural footing loads.
Select backfill should be granular, structural quality backfill with a Sand Equivalent of 20 or better and an ASCE Expansion Index of 20 or less. The backfill must encompass the full active wedge area. The upper one foot of backfill should be comprised of native on-site soils (see Plate A). The wall design should include waterproofing (where appropriate) and backdrains or weep holes for relieving possible hydrostatic pressures. The backdrain should be comprised of a 4-inch perforated PVC pipe in a 1 ft. by 1 ft., ¾-inch gravel matrix, wrapped with a geofabric. The backdrain should be installed with a minimum gradient of 2 percent and should be outletted to an appropriate location.
No backfill should be placed against concrete until minimum design strengths are achieved.
It should be noted that the allowable bearing and lateral bearing values presented in Table 7-1 are based on level conditions at the toe. Modified design parameters can be presented for retaining walls with sloping condition at the toe.
Other conditions should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

7.7 Exterior Slabs and Walkways
Exterior concrete slabs and walkways should be designed and constructed in consideration of the following recommendations.
7.7.1 Subgrade Compaction
The subgrade below exterior concrete slabs should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction as determined by ASTM Test Method: D 1557.
7.7.2 Subgrade Moisture
The subgrade below concrete slabs should be moisture conditioned to a minimum of 110 percent of optimum moisture prior to concrete placement.
7.7.3 Concrete Slab Thickness
Concrete flatwork and driveways should be designed utilizing four-inch minimum thickness.
7.7.4 Concrete Slab Reinforcement
Utilization of reinforcement for flatwork and driveways is subject to a cost/benefit analysis for the developer. Reinforcement will decrease the amount of cracking that may occur in flatwork, however, planning for occasional repairs may be more cost effective. Utilizing closely spaced control joints is likely more cost-effective than utilizing reinforcement.
The majority of the soils onsite are classified as medium to high in expansion potential. Consideration should be given to reinforcing flatwork with irregular (non-square/rectangular) shapes. Reinforcement may consist of 6x6 W.14/W1.4 welded wire mesh or an equivalent section of rebar.
Project Number 1-0568 Page 24
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
7.7.5 Control Joints
Weakened plane joints should be installed on walkways at intervals of approximately eight feet. Exterior slabs should be designed to withstand shrinkage of the concrete.
7.8 Concrete Design
As stated in Section 5.1.6, negligible concentrations of sulfates were detected in the onsite soils. Therefore, the use of sulfate resistant concrete is not required per ACI 318-14 at this time. Post-grading conditions should be evaluated, and final recommendations made at that time.
7.9 Corrosion
Based on preliminary testing from our investigation and the previous investigation, the onsite soils are classified as “non-corrosive” (Caltrans, 2022).
Consideration should be given to protecting buried metals from corrosion.
Typical measures may include using non-corrosive backfill, protective coatings, wrapping, plastic pipes, or a combination of these methods. A corrosion engineer should be consulted if specific design recommendations are required by the improvement designer.
Per ACI 318-14, an exposure class of C1 would be applicable to metals encased in concrete (rebar in footings) due to being exposed to moisture from surrounding soils. Per Table 19.3.2.1 of ACI 318-14, the requirements for concrete with an exposure class of C1 are a minimum compressive strength of 2500 psi and a maximum water-soluble chloride ion content in concrete of 0.30 (percent by weight of cement).

Construction of the streets should be accomplished in accordance with the current criteria of the City of Yorba Linda. Prior to the placement of base material, the subgrade should be suitably moisture conditioned, processed and compacted to a minimum 95 percent of the laboratory maximum density (ASTM:
D 1557) to at least twelve (12) inches below subgrade. After subgrade compaction, the exposed grade should then be "proof"-rolled with heavy equipment to ensure the grade does not "pump" and is verified as non-yielding.
Aggregate base material should be placed on the compacted subgrade and compacted in-place to a minimum 95 percent of the laboratory standard obtained per ASTM: D 1557.

7.11 Site Drainage
Positive drainage away from the proposed structures should be provided and maintained. Roof, pad, and lot drainage should be collected and directed away from the structures toward approved disposal areas through drainage terraces, gutters, down drains, and other devices. Design fine grade elevations should be maintained through the life of the structure or if design fine grade elevations are altered, adequate area drains should be installed in order to provide rapid discharge of water, away from structures.
8.0 LOT MAINTENANCE
Ongoing maintenance of the improvements is essential to the long-term performance of structures and slopes. As such, the owners must implement certain maintenance procedures. The attached "Maintenance and Improvement Considerations" presented in Appendix D should be reviewed for issues related to drainage, slopes, maintenance, backyard improvements, etc. The following recommendations should also be implemented.
8.1 Lot Drainage
Roof, pad and lot drainage should be collected and directed away from structures and slopes and toward approved disposal areas. Design fine grade elevations should be maintained throughout the life of the structure or if design fine grade elevations are altered, adequate area drains should be installed in order to provide rapid discharge of water, away from structures and slopes.
Residents should be made aware that they are responsible for maintenance and cleaning of all drainage terraces, down drains, and other devices that have been installed to promote structure and slope stability.

LABORATORY TESTING
The following laboratory tests were performed on representative samples in accordance with the applicable latest standards or methods from the ASTM, California Building Code (CBC) and California Department of Transportation.
Classification
Soils were classified with respect to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) in accordance with ASTM D-2487 and D-2488.
Particle Size Analysis
Modified hydrometer testing was conducted to aid in classification of the soil. The results of the particle size analysis are presented in Table 7-1 and Table C.
Maximum Density/Optimum Moisture
The maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of one (1) representative bulk sample was evaluated in accordance with ASTM D-1557. The results are summarized in Table C.
Expansion Index Tests
One (1) expansion index test was performed to evaluate the expansion potential of typical onsite soil. Testing was carried out in general conformance with ASTM Test Method D-4829. The results are presented in Table C.
Consolidation Tests
Consolidation testing was performed on two (2) relatively “undisturbed” soil sample at their natural moisture content in accordance with procedures outlined in ASTM D-2435. The samples were placed in a consolidometer and loads were applied incrementally in geometric progression. The samples (2.42-inches in diameter and 1-inch in height) were permitted to consolidate under each load increment until the slope of the characteristic linear secondary compression portion of the thickness versus log of time plot was apparent. The percent consolidation for each load cycle was recorded as the ratio of the amount of vertical

Maintenance and Improvement Considerations
Project Number 1-0568 Page D-1
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
General
Owners purchasing property must assume a certain degree of responsibility for improvements and for maintaining conditions around their home. Of primary importance from a geotechnical standpoint are maintaining drainage patterns and minimizing the soil moisture variation below all improvements. Such design, construction and owner maintenance provisions may include:
Employing contractors for improvements who design and build in recognition of local building codes and specific site soils conditions.
Establishing and maintaining positive drainage away from all foundations, walkways, driveways, patios, and other improvements.
Avoiding the construction of planters adjacent to structural improvements.
Alternatively, planter sides/bottoms can be sealed with an impermeable membrane and drained away from the improvements via subdrains into approved disposal areas. Sealing and maintaining construction/control joints within concrete slabs and walkways to reduce the potential for moisture infiltration into the subgrade soils. Utilizing landscaping schemes with vegetation that requires minimal watering. Watering should be done in a uniform manner, as equally as possible on all sides of the foundation, keeping the soil "moist" but not allowing the soil to become saturated. Maintaining positive drainage away from structures and providing roof gutters on all structures with downspouts that are designed to carry roof runoff directly into area drains or discharged well away from the foundation areas. Avoiding the placement of trees closer to the proposed structures than a distance of one-half the mature height of the tree.
Observation of the soil conditions around the perimeter of the structure during extremely hot/dry or unusually wet weather conditions so that modifications can be made in irrigation programs to maintain relatively uniform moisture conditions.
Sulfates
Owners should be cautioned against the import and use of certain inorganic fertilizers, soil amendments, and/or other soils from offsite sources in the absence of specific information relating to their chemical composition. Some fertilizers have been known to leach sulfate compounds into soils and increase the sulfate concentrations to potentially detrimental levels.
Project Number 1-0568 Page D-2
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Site Drainage
The owners should be made aware of the potential problems that may develop when drainage is altered through construction of hardscape improvements. Ponded water, drainage over the slope face, leaking irrigation systems, overwatering, or other conditions which could lead to ground saturation must be avoided. No water should be allowed to flow over the slopes. No alteration of pad gradients should be allowed that would prevent pad and roof runoff from being directed to approved disposal areas.
Drainage patterns have been established at the time of the fine grading should be maintained throughout the life of the structure. No alterations to these drainage patterns should be made unless designed by qualified professionals in compliance with local code requirements and site-specific soils conditions.
Slope Drainage
Residents should be made aware of the importance of maintaining and cleaning all interceptor ditches, drainage terraces, down drains, and any other drainage devices, which have been installed to promote slope stability.
Subsurface drainage pipe outlets may protrude through slope surfaces and/or wall faces. These pipes, in conjunction with the graded features, are essential to slope and wall stability and must be protected in-place. They should not be altered or damaged in any way.
Planting and Irrigation of Slopes
Seeding and planting of the slopes should be planned to achieve, as rapidly as possible, a well-established and deep-rooted vegetal cover requiring minimal watering. It is the responsibility of the landscape architect to provide such plants initially and of the residents to maintain such planting. Alteration of such a planting scheme is at the resident's risk.
The resident is responsible for proper irrigation and for maintenance and repair of properly installed irrigation systems. Leaks should be fixed immediately. Sprinklers should be adjusted to provide maximum uniform coverage with a minimum of water usage and overlap. Overwatering with consequent wasteful runoff and serious ground saturation must be avoided.
If automatic sprinkler systems are installed, their use must be adjusted to account for seasonal and natural rainfall conditions.
Project Number 1-0568 Page D-3
DRAFT
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Burrowing Animals
Residents must undertake a program to eliminate burrowing animals. This must be an ongoing program in order to promote slope stability.
Owner Improvement
Owner improvements (pools, spas, patio slabs, retaining walls, planters, etc.) should be designed to account for the terrain of the project, as well as expansive soil conditions and chemical characteristics. Design considerations on any given lot may need to include provisions for differential bearing materials, ascending/descending slope conditions, bedrock structure, perched (irrigation) water, special geologic surcharge loading conditions, expansive soil stresses, and long-term creep/settlement.
All owner improvements should be designed and constructed by qualified professionals utilizing appropriate design methodologies, which account for the on-site soils and geologic conditions.
Each lot and proposed improvement should be evaluated on an individual basis.
Setback Zones
Manufactured slopes may be subject to long-term settlement and creep that can manifest itself in the form of both horizontal and vertical movement. These movements typically are produced as a result of weathering, erosion, gravity forces, and other natural phenomenon. A setback adjacent to slopes is required by most building codes, including the California Building Code. This zone is intended to locate and support the residential structures away from these slopes and onto soils that are not subject to the potential adverse effects of these natural phenomena.
The owner may wish to construct patios, walls, walkways, planters, swimming pools, spas, etc. within this zone. Such facilities may be sensitive to settlement and creep and should not be constructed within the setback zone unless properly engineered. It is suggested that plans for such improvements be designed by a professional engineer who is familiar with grading ordinances and design and construction requirements. In addition, we recommend that the

Follow these simple steps to help reduce water
pollution:
Household Activities
Do not rinse spills with water. Use dry cleanup
methods such as applying cat litter or another
absorbent material, sweep and dispose of in
the trash. Take items such as used or excess
batteries, oven cleaners, automotive fluids,
painting products and cathode ray tubes, like
TVs and computer monitors, to a Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Center (HHWCC).
For a HHWCC near you call (714) 834-6752 or
visit www.oclandfills.com.
Do not hose down your driveway, sidewalk or
patio to the street, gutter or storm drain. Sweep
up debris and dispose of it in the trash.
Automotive
Take your vehicle to a commercial car
wash whenever possible. If you wash your
vehicle at home, choose soaps, cleaners, or
detergents labeled non-toxic, phosphate- free
or biodegradable. Vegetable and citrus-based
products are typically safest for the environment.
Do not allow washwater from vehicle washing
to drain into the street, gutter or storm drain.
Excess washwater should be disposed of in the
sanitary sewer (through a sink or toilet) or onto
an absorbent surface like your lawn.
Monitor your vehicles for leaks and place a pan
under leaks. Keep your vehicles well maintained
to stop and prevent leaks.
Never pour oil or antifreeze in the street, gutter
or storm drain. Recycle these substances at a
service station, a waste oil collection center or
used oil recycling center. For the nearest Used
Oil Collection Center call 1-800-CLEANUP or
visit www.1800cleanup.org.

Trash
Place trash and litter that cannot be recycled in
securely covered trash cans.
Whenever possible, buy recycled products.
Remember: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Pet Care
Always pick up after your pet. Flush waste down
the toilet or dispose of it in the trash. Pet waste,
if left outdoors, can wash into the street, gutter
or storm drain.
If possible, bathe your pets indoors. If you must
bathe your pet outside, wash it on your lawn or
another absorbent/permeable surface to keep
the washwater from entering the street, gutter or
storm drain.
Follow directions for use of pet care products
and dispose of any unused products at a
HHWCC.
Pool Maintenance
Pool and spa water must be dechlorinated and free
of excess acid, alkali or color to be allowed in the
street, gutter or storm drain.
When it is not raining, drain dechlorinated pool and
spa water directly into the
sanitary sewer.
Some cities may have ordinances that do not allow
pool water to be disposed of in the storm drain.
Check with your city.
Landscape and Gardening
Do not over-water. Water your lawn and garden by
hand to control the amount of water you use or set
irrigation systems to reflect seasonal water needs.
If water flows off your yard onto your driveway or
sidewalk, your system is over-watering. Periodically
inspect and fix leaks and misdirected sprinklers.
Do not rake or blow leaves, clippings or pruning
waste into the street, gutter or storm drain. Instead,
dispose of waste by composting, hauling it to a
permitted landfill, or as green waste through your
city’s recycling program.
Follow directions on pesticides and fertilizer,
(measure, do not estimate amounts) and do not use
if rain is predicted within 48 hours.
Take unwanted pesticides to a HHWCC to be
recycled. For locations and hours of HHWCC, call
(714) 834-6752 or visit www.oclandfills.com.
Did You Know?
Most people believe that the largest source
of water pollution in urban areas comes from
specific sources such as factories and sewage
treatment plants. In fact, the largest source
of water pollution comes from city streets,
neighborhoods, construction sites and parking
lots. This type of pollution is sometimes
called “non-point source” pollution.
There are two types of non-point source
pollution: stormwater and urban runoff
pollution.
Stormwater runoff results from rainfall.
When rainstorms cause large volumes
of water to rinse the urban landscape,
picking up pollutants along the way.
Urban runoff can happen any time of
the year when excessive water use from
irrigation, vehicle washing and other
sources carries trash, lawn clippings and
other urban pollutants into storm drains.
Where Does It Go?
Anything we use outside homes, vehicles and
businesses – like motor oil, paint, pesticides,
fertilizers and cleaners – can be blown or washed
into storm drains.
A little water from a garden hose or rain can also
send materials into storm drains.
Storm drains are separate from our sanitary
sewer systems; unlike water in sanitary sewers
(from sinks or toilets), water in storm drains is
not treated before entering our waterways.
Even if you live miles from the Pacific
Ocean, you may be unknowingly
polluting it.
Sources of Non-Point Source Pollution
Automotive leaks and spills.
Improper disposal of used oil and other engine
fluids.
Metals found in vehicle exhaust, weathered paint,
rust, metal plating and tires.
Pesticides and fertilizers from lawns, gardens and
farms.
Improper disposal of cleaners, paint and paint
removers.
Soil erosion and dust debris from landscape and
construction activities.
Litter, lawn clippings, animal waste, and other
organic matter.
Oil stains on parking lots and paved surfaces.
The Effect on the Ocean
Non-point source
pollution can have
a serious impact
on water quality
in Orange County.
Pollutants from the
storm drain system
can harm marine life
as well as coastal and wetland habitats. They can
also degrade recreation areas such as beaches,
harbors and bays.
Stormwater quality management programs have
been developed throughout Orange County to
educate and encourage the public to protect water
quality, monitor runoff in the storm drain system,
investigate illegal dumping and maintain storm
drains.
Support from Orange County residents and
businesses is needed to improve water quality
and reduce urban runoff pollution. Proper use
and disposal of materials will help stop pollution
before it reaches the storm drain and the ocean.
Dumping one quart of motor oil into a
storm drain can contaminate 250,000
gallons of water.

Pet Waste
• Pollution: Pet waste carries bacteria through
our watersheds and eventually will be washed
out to the ocean. This can posea health risk to
swimmers and surfers.
• Solution: Pick up after your pets!
Trash and Debris
• Pollution: Trash and debris
can enter waterways by
wind, littering and careless
maintenance of trash
receptacles. Street sweeping
collects some of this trash;
however, much of what isn’t
captured ends up in our storm
drain system where it flows untreated out to the
ocean.
• Solution: Don’t litter and make sure trash
containers are properly covered. It is far more
expensive to clean up the litter and trash that ends
up in our waterways than it is to prevent it in the
first place. Come out to one of Orange County’s
many locations for Coastal and Inner-Coastal
Cleanup Day, which is held in September.
Motor Oil / Vehicle Fluids
• Pollution: Oil and petroleum products from our
vehicles are toxic to people, wildlife and plants.
• Solution: Fix any leaks
from your vehicle and
keep the maintenance
up on your car. Use
absorbent material such
as cat litter on oil spills,
then sweep it up and
dispose of it in the trash.
Recycle used motor oil
ata local Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Center.
Low Impact Development, Water Conservation

DID YOU KNOW?
Homeowners Guide
for Sustainable Water Use
A TEAM EFFORT
The Orange County Stormwater Program has teamed with the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) and the University of California Cooperative Extension Program (UCCE) to develop this pamphlet.
Low Impact Development (LID) and sustainable water use prevents water pollution and conserves water for drinking and reuse. Reducing your water use and the amount of water flowing from your home protects the environment and saves you money.
Thank you for making water protection
a priority!
For more information,
please visit
www.ocwatersheds.
com/publiced/
www.mwdoc.com
www.uccemg.com
Pesticides and Fertilizer
• Pollution: The same pesticides
that are designed to be toxic to
pests can have an equally lethal
impact on our marine life. The
same fertilizer that promotes plant
growth in lawns and gardens
can also create nuisance algae
blooms, which remove oxygen
from the water and clog waterways
when it decomposes.
• Solution: Never use pesticides or fertilizer within 48 hours of an anticipated rainstorm. Use only as much
as is directed on the label and keep it off driveways and sidewalks.
Dirt and Sediment
• Pollution: Dirt or sediment can impede the flow of the stormwater and negatively impact stream habitat as it
travels through waterways and deposits downstream.
Pollutants can attach to sediment, which can then be
transported through our waterways.
• Solution: Protect dirt stockpiles by covering them with tarps or secure plastic sheets to prevent wind or rain from allowing dirt or sediment to enter the storm drain system.
Metals
• Pollution: Metals and other toxins present in car wash water can harm important plankton, which forms the base of the aquatic food chain.
• Solution: Take your car toa commercial car wash
where the wash water is captured and treated ata local
wastewater treatment plant.
The Pollution Solution
Several residential activities can result in water pollution. Among these activities are car washing and hosing off driveways and sidewalks. Both activities can waste water and result in excess runoff. Water conservation methods described in this pamphlet can prevent considerable amounts of runoff and conserve water. By taking your car toa commercial car wash and by sweeping driveways and sidewalks, you can further prevent the transport of pollutants to Orange County waterways. Here are some of the common pollutants for which you can be part of the solution:

Special Thanks to
The City of Los Angeles Stormwater Program for the use of its artwork The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California for the use of the CaliforniaFriendly Plant and Native Habitat photos Did you know that most of the pollution found in our waterways is not from a single source, but from a “nonpoint” source meaning the accumulation of pollution from residents and businesses throughout the community
Options for Rainwater
Harvesting and Reuse
Rainwater harvesting is a great way to save
money, prevent pollution and reduce potable
water use. To harvest your rainwater, simply
redirect the runoff from roofs and downspouts to rain barrels.
Rain gardens are another option; these reduce runoff as well as encourage infiltration.
Downspout
Disconnection/Redirection
Disconnecting downspouts
from pipes running to the gutter
prevents runoff from transporting
pollutants to the storm drain.
Once disconnected, downspouts
can be redirected to rain gardens
or other vegetated areas, or be
connected to a rain barrel.
Rain Barrels
Rain barrels capture rainwater
flow from roofs for reuse in
landscape irrigation. Capacity
of rain barrels needed for your
home will depend on the amount
of roof area and rainfall received.
When purchasing your rain barrel,
make sure it includes a screen, a
spigot to siphon water for use, an
overflow tube to allow for excess
water to run out and a connector if
you wish to connect multiple barrels to add capacity of water storage.
Mosquito growth prevention is very important when installing a rain barrel.The best way to prevent mosquito breeding is to eliminate entry points by ensuring all openings are sealed tightly. If these methods are unsuccessful, products are available to kill mosquito larvae, but that are harmless to animals and humans. Regular application of these products is essential.Please visit the Orange County Vector Control website for more information at
www.ocvcd.org/mosquitoes3.php.
Rain Gardens
Rain gardens allow runoff to be directed from your roof downspout into a landscaped area. Vegetation and rocks in the garden will slow the flow of water to allow for infiltration into the soil. Plants and soil particles will absorb pollutants from the roof runoff. By utilizing a native plant palate, rain gardens can be maintained all year with minimal additional irrigation.
These plants are adapted to the semi-arid climate of Southern California, require less water and can reduce your water bill.
Before modifying your yard to install a rain
garden, please consult your local building and/or
planning departments to ensure your garden plan
follows pertinent building codes and ordinances.
Besides codes and ordinances, some home
owner associations also have guidelines for yard
modifications. If your property is in hill areas
or includes engineered slopes, please seek
professional advice before proceeding
with changes.

www.larainwaterharvesting.org/
Water runoff from sprinklers left
on too long will carry pollutants
into our waterways.
Permeable pavement allows water runoff to
infiltrate through the soil and prevents most
pollutants from reaching the storm drain system.
What is Low Impact Development (LID)?
Low Impact Development (LID) is a method of development that seeks to maintain the natural hydrologic character of an area. LID provides a more sustainable and pollution-preventative approach to water management.
New water quality regulations require implementation of LID in larger new developments and encourage implementation of LID and other sustainable practices in existing residential areas.
Implementing modifications to your lawn or garden can reduce pollution in our environment, conserve water and reduce your water bill.
Where Does Water Runoff Go?
Stormwater, or water from rainfall events, and runoff from outdoor water use such as sprinklers and hoses flows from homes directly into catch basins and the storm drain system. After entering the storm drain, the water flows untreated into streams, rivers, bays and ultimately the Pacific Ocean. Runoff can come from lawns, gardens, driveways, sidewalks and roofs. As it flows over hard, impervious surfaces, it picks up pollutants.
Some pollutants carried by the water runoff include trash, pet waste, pesticides, fertilizer, motor oil and more.
Water Conservation
Pollution not only impairs the water quality for habitat and recreation, it can also reduce the water available for reuse. Runoff allowed to soak into the ground is cleaned as it percolates through the soil, replenishing depleted groundwater supplies. Groundwater provides at least 50% of the total water for drinking and other indoor household activities in north and central Orange County. When land is covered with roads, parking lots, homes, etc., there is less land to take in the water and more hard surfaces over which the water can flow.
In Orange County, 60-70% of water used by residents and businesses goes to irrigation and other outdoor uses. Reusing rainwater to irrigate our lawn not only reduces the impact of water pollution from runoff, but it also is a great way to conserve our precious water resources and replenish our groundwater basin.
Permeable pavement allows water
runoff to infiltrate through the soil
and prevents most pollutants from
reaching the storm drain system.
Other Water Conservation and
Pollution Prevention Techniques
Native Vegetation and Maintenance
“California Friendly” plants or native vegetation can significantly reduce water use. These plants often require far less fertilizers and pesticides, which are two significant pollutants found in Orange County waterways. Replacing water “thirsty” plants and grass types with water efficient natives is a great way to save water and reduce the need for potentially harmful pesticides and fertilizer.
Please see the California Friendly Garden Guide produced by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and associated Southern California Water Agencies for a catalog of California friendly plants and other garden resources at
www.bewaterwise.com/Gardensoft.
Weed Free Yards
Weeds are water thieves.
They often reproduce quickly
and rob your yard of both
water and nutrients. Weed
your yard by hand if possible.
If you use herbicides to
control the weeds, use only
the amount recommended on
the label and never use it if
rain is forecast within the next
48 hours.
Soil Amendments
Soil amendments such as green waste (e.g. grass clippings, compost, etc.) can be a significant source of nutrients and can help keep the soil near the roots of plants moist. However, they can cause algal booms if they get into our waterways, which reduces the amount of oxygen in the water and impacts most aquatic organisms. It is important to apply soil amendments more than 48 hours prior to predicted rainfall.
IRRIGATE
EFFICIENTLY
Smart Irrigation
Controllers
Smart Irrigation Controllers have
internal clocks as well as sensors
that will turn off the sprinklers
in response to environmental
changes. If it is raining, too windy or too cold, the
smart irrigation control sprinklers will automatically shut off.
Check with your local water agency for available rebates on irrigation controllers and smart timers. • Aim your sprinklers at your lawn, not the sidewalk – By simply adjusting the direction of your sprinklers
you can save water, prevent water pollution from
runoff, keep your lawn healthy and save money.
• Set a timer for your sprinklers – lawns absorb
the water they need to stay healthy within a few
minutes of turning on the sprinklers. Time your
sprinklers; when water begins running off your
lawn, you can turn them off. Your timer can be set
to water your lawn for this duration every time.
• Water at Sunrise – Watering early in the morning
will reduce water loss due to evaporation.
Additionally, winds tend to die down in the early
morning so the water will get to the lawn as
intended.
• Water by hand – Instead of using sprinklers,
consider watering your yard by hand. Handwatering ensures that all plants get the proper amount of water and you will prevent any water
runoff, which wastes water and carries pollutants
into our waterways.
• Fix leaks - Nationwide, households waste one
trillion gallons of water a year to leaks – that is
enough water to serve the entire state of Texas for
a year. If your garden hose is leaking, replace the
nylon or rubber hose washer and ensure a tight
connection. Fix broken sprinklers immediately.
Do your part to prevent water
pollution in our creeks, rivers, bays
and ocean.
Clean beaches and healthy creeks, rivers,
bays, and ocean are important to Orange
County. However, many common household
activities can lead to
water pollution if you’re
not careful.
Litter, oil, chemicals and
other substances that
are left on your yard or
driveway can be blown
or washed into storm
drains that flow to the
ocean. Over-watering
your lawn and washing
your car can also flush
materials into the storm
drains. Unlike water in sanitary sewers
(from sinks and toilets), water in storm
drains is not treated.
You would never pour soap, fertilizers or oil
into the ocean, so don’t let them enter
streets, gutters or storm drains. Follow the
easy tips in this brochure to help prevent
water pollution. GENUINE

Help Prevent Ocean Pollution:
Household Tips
Gardening Activities
� Follow directions on pesticides and
fertilizers, (measure, do not estimate
amounts) and do not use if rain is
predicted within 48 hours.
� Water your lawn and garden by hand to
control the amount of water you use. Set
irrigation systems to reflect seasonal
water needs. If water flows off your yard
and onto your driveway or sidewalk,
your system is over-watering.
� Mulch clippings or leave them on the
lawn. If necessary, dispose in a green
waste container.
� Cultivate your garden often to control
weeds.
Washing and Maintaining Your Car
� Take your car to a commercial car wash
whenever possible.
� Choose soaps, cleaners, or detergents
labeled “non-toxic,” “phosphate free” or
“biodegradable.” Vegetable and citrusbased products are typically safest for the environment, but even these should
not be allowed into the storm drain.
� Shake floor mats into a trash can or
vacuum to clean.
� Do not use acid-based wheel cleaners and
“hose off” engine degreasers at home.
They can be used at a commercial facility,
which can properly process the washwater.
� Do not dump washwater onto your
driveway, sidewalk, street, gutter or
storm drain. Excess washwater should
be disposed of in the sanitary sewers
(through a sink, or toilet) or onto an
absorbent surface like your lawn.
� Use a nozzle to turn off water when not
actively washing down automobile.
� Monitor vehicles for leaks and place
pans under leaks. Keep your car well
maintained to stop and prevent leaks.
� Use cat litter or other absorbents and
sweep to remove any materials deposited
by vehicles. Contain sweepings and
dispose of at a HHWCC.
� Perform automobile repair and
maintenance under a covered area and
use drip pans or plastic sheeting to keep
spills and waste material from reaching
storm drains.
� Never pour oil or antifreeze in the
street, gutter or storm drains.
Recycle these substances at a service
station, HHWCC, or used oil recycling
center. For the nearest Used Oil
Collection Center call 1-800-CLEANUP
or visit www.ciwmb.ca.gov/UsedOil.
Pollution Prevention
Household Activities
� Do not rinse spills with water! Sweep
outdoor spills and dispose of in the trash.
For wet spills like oil, apply cat litter or
another absorbent material, then sweep
and bring to a household hazardous waste
collection center (HHWCC).
� Securely cover trash cans.
� Take household hazardous waste to a household hazardous waste collection center. � Store household hazardous waste in closed,
labeled containers inside or under a cover.
� Do not hose down your driveway, sidewalk or
patio. Sweep up debris and dispose of in trash.
� Always pick up after your pet. Flush waste
down the toilet or dispose of in the trash.
� Bathe pets indoors or have them
professionally groomed.
Household Hazardous Wastes include:
� Batteries
� Paint thinners, paint strippers and removers
� Adhesives
� Drain openers
� Oven cleaners
� Wood and metal cleaners and polishes
� Herbicides and pesticides
� Fungicides/wood preservatives
� Automotive fluids and products

creeks, rivers, bays and
ocean are important
to Orange County. However,
many common activities such as
pest control can lead to water
pollution if you’re not careful.
Pesticide treatments must be
planned and applied properly
to ensure that pesticides do
not enter the street, gutter or
storm drain. Unlike water in
sanitary sewers (from sinks and
toilets), water in storm drains is
not treated before entering our
waterways.
You would never dump pesticides
into the ocean, so don’t let it
enter the storm drains. Pesticides
can cause significant damage
to our environment if used
improperly. If you are thinking
of using a pesticide to control a
pest, there are some important
things to consider.
