What’s Being Protected? A little more about the Santa Ana River and Brine
Line Storm Response
Pre-Planning – Emergency Response Plans, Training
The Event Storm Impacts and Follow-On Actions – repairs,
lessons learned
“Tee” Levees in Orange County
Major Dischargers 6 Brackish Groundwater Desalters (50 MGD of potable
water) 3 Power Plants (2000 MW; ~1.5 M Homes) 2 State Prisons (10,000 inmates) Various Industries Hauled Brine Wastewater (4 stations, 60 trucks/day)
Economy of Inland Empire - over $1B, 4,000 jobs
Water Quality of Santa Ana River, OC Beaches
OCSD Treatment Plants
Pre-Planning Emergency Response Plan – OCSD, SAWPA,
Corps Annual plan update, meeting, training in fall “Just-in Time” Training
The Event Lots of rain in short period of time resulting
in high river flow and volume Twice daily coordination: Corps, OCSD,
SAWPA, OCWD, OC PW, RCFC

SAR is operated as an integrated system Team approach to response – lots of coordination Existing relationships key to success Ongoing joint activities, projects
Emergency Response Plan Good overall plan. Some fine tuning required. “Just-in-time” training for key participants was invaluable.
Prado Dam Water Surface at Record Elevation (529.4 ft) Water-tightness of the pipe, MASs confirmed. Seals at several MASs to be evaluated for improvement
especially at the higher water surface elevation.
Brine Line in Orange County Coordination team established: Corps, OCPW, OCSD,
OCWD, RCFCD, SAWPA created Effectively communicated issues and identified solutions. Result: reduction in dam outflow from 5,000 cfs to 2,500
cfs for 4 days and a reduction to 100 cfs to facilitate inspection/repair.
Group should be formalized in the agencies’ emergency response documents.
Areas of erosion over pipe, around MAS Traditional trouble spots remain. New locations identified. Erosion locations need to be evaluated for protection
measures to prevent or reduce future erosion.
