Conditions of Approval
or Issuance applied to
this project.
(Please list verbatim.)
Per the Soil Percolation Report provided by Hushmand
Associates, Inc. The infiltration rate in the first test location is 0.10,
and the infiltration rate in the second test location is 0.28. These
values are too low for infiltration to be feasible, therefore,
infiltration will not be considered for this site.
Harvest and re-use will not be feasible according to Worksheet J,
where it was determined that the proposed project irrigated area
is less than the minimum irrigation area required based on
conservation landscape design. According to this table, partial
capture is not feasible and harvest and use will not be
incorporated into the site design.
All drainage will be routed to one of the five proposed
bioretention flow-through planter areas for treatment prior to
discharge. Roof runoff will be captured via roof drains and routed
into adjacent bioretention planter areas. Landscape and hardscape
as well as the parking lots will also be routed to the flow-through
planters via overland flow.

Narrative Project
Description:
(Use as much space as
necessary.)
The project site will include the design of a proposed approximately
26,222 square foot, single story Multi-Purpose Rehabilitation Center
(MRC) within the Orange County Juvenile Hall Campus. The MRC will
include a visitation center, kitchen, gymnasium, multipurpose rooms,
treatment rooms, support facilities, and adjacent site work. The
proposed site of approximately 51,787 square feet is currently used as an
athletic field for the campus. The proposed site is located in the eastern
portion of the existing Orange County Juvenile Hall campus. The
overall site is relatively flat and seismically independent of any existing
structures. The project site condition is undeveloped and bound by the
Sidwell Way and Interstate 5 to the East and Justice Center Way to the
South.

Based on the Orange County Susceptibility Map, the project site is not located in a potential area of
erosion, habitat, and physical structure susceptibility. A portion of the Santa Ana River channel that
is downstream of the project site is classified as a stabilized earth channel. Therefore, the steams
located downstream of the project site are not susceptible to hydromodification impacts.
II.4 Post Development Drainage Characteristics
The proposed site will drain to several bio-retention flow-through planters via roof drains and
discharged via underdrain pipes. An existing storm drain system serves the neighboring sites. All
of the collected on-site storm water will be routed to the existing storm drain system via pipe and
gutter flow.

GEOTECHNICAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROPOSED MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING SITE FOR
JUVENILE HALL, CITY OF ORANGE, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description and Background
The proposed project consists of constructing a 25,000 square feet (SF) Multi-Purpose Building (MRC) within the Orange County Juvenile Hall Campus (Figure 1). The MRC includes a visitation center, gymnasium, multipurpose rooms, treatment rooms, and support facilities. Two (2) locations within the existing campus are being considered as for the proposed building site. The preferred location is on an existing baseball field (preferred site) in close proximity to the Santa Ana River. The alternate location is on the Northwest corner of the campus (alternate site) on land that is currently occupied by four (4) existing housing units (Buildings R, S, O, M, and classrooms 19 and 20). The preferred location will occupy a footprint of between 41,232 SF and 60,000 SF, while the alternate location will occupy a footprint of 80,500 SF. Both preferred and alternate locations are shown in Figure 2. Based on the information provided by VA Consulting, the project design firm, proposed building will be constructed of steel frames or steel columns supporting trusses which in turn support the roof with infill walls of concrete masonry units (CMU) or tilt-up panels. Walls of the building will be supported by continuous spread footings. Grading plan was not available at the time of preparation of this report. We have assumed that maximum thickness of design fill would be less than two (2) feet.
1.2 Purpose and Scope of Services
The purpose of this investigation is to explore the subsurface conditions of both preferred and alternate sites, assess geological and engineering characteristics of both sites to determine the feasibility of constructing the MRC building and to provide design recommendations for the selected site. Our scope of services included the following:
Project coordination and review of existing information related to the project.
Site reconnaissance to document the existing condition of the site, and to select and mark the proposed boring and cone penetration test (CPT) locations.
Coordinate with Underground Service Alert for marking underground utility locations prior to drilling.
Geophysical survey to identify the underground utilities in the project sites.
Drilling and sampling of four (4) soil borings to characterize the subsurface soils at the site.
Additional subsurface exploration by performing eight (8) cone penetration tests (CPTs).

Testing of soil samples as described in Section 2.2 of this report.
Engineering analyses to evaluate site subsurface soil and groundwater conditions, geologic and seismic hazards, and to provide design recommendations for earthwork, temporary excavations, and foundations and slab recommendations.
Preparation of this report presenting a description of our observations, laboratory testing and analyses, findings and conclusions, and recommendations for the design and construction of the proposed project.
2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
2.1 FIELD EXPLORATIONS
Prior to the field exploration, a site reconnaissance was performed by our staff to mark boring and CPT locations and to evaluate these locations with respect to utility lines and other subsurface structures. Underground Service Alert was then notified of the proposed boring and CPT locations. 2.1.1 Geophysical Testing
Since the boring and CPT locations were inside the existing Juvenile Hall Campus, utility maps developed by Engineering Division, Public Works Department, County of Orange were provided to identify the utilities at the boring and CPT locations. However, since there may be unidentified underground utilities at the boring location, an underground utility locator (Terra Physics) was retained by HAI to verify suspected underground utilities using geophysical methods at all locations. A geophysical survey was conducted on May 20, 2015 to ensure that boring and CPT locations were clear from the underground utilities. Locations that conflicted with the utilities were moved to new nearby locations. 2.1.2 Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Soundings
Eight (8) CPTs, CPT-1 through CPT-8 were performed on May 22, 2015 to obtain detailed subsurface information for liquefaction hazard evaluation of the site. CPTs were performed using a 30-ton Vertek rig with 15 square cm piezocones. Kehoe Testing and Engineering, Inc. (KTE) of Huntington Beach was subcontracted to perform the CPTs. The report prepared by KTE including the field logs is attached in Appendix A. The CPT soundings were performed in accordance with ASTM D3441 method. The maximum depths reached by the CPT soundings are provided in Table 1. The approximate locations of the CPTs are shown in Figure 3.

Hollow Stem Auger Drilling was performed on May 27 and 28, 2015. Soil borings were advanced using a 8-inch diameter hollow-stem auger (HSA) with a truck-mounted drill rig. The drilling firm, Jet Drilling, Inc. of Signal Hill, California, was subcontracted to drill the exploratory borings. Bulk, disturbed and relatively undisturbed drive samples were recovered from the test borings at the direction of the HAI Geologist and field engineer. Sampling interval and maximum drilling depths are shown in Table 2. Sampling was conducted using a Modified California (MC) ring sampler and a Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampler without a liner. Relatively undisturbed samples of the subsurface materials were obtained using the Modified California sampler. The Modified California sampler has a 2.42-inch inside diameter and a 3.0-inch outside diameter. The SPT sampler has a 1.4-inch inside diameter and a 2.0-inch outside diameter. Both samplers were driven 18 inches into the bottom of the boring as they were advanced using a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches, with blow counts recorded for successive 6-inch penetration intervals, blow counts for the bottom one foot are shown on boring logs. After the samplers were withdrawn from the test borings, soil samples were carefully removed, visually inspected and classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), sealed to reduce moisture loss, and delivered to the laboratory in foam boxes for further inspection, soil classification and testing. The borings were backfilled with soil cuttings and compacted. Approximate locations of the exploratory borings are shown on Figure 3 and the boring logs are shown in Appendix B.

2.2 LABORATORY TESTING
Soil samples collected during field investigation were examined in our laboratory and selected soil samples were tested in HAI and Schiff Associates laboratories to evaluate their physical characteristics, index properties and classification, and insitu and engineering properties. Laboratory tests performed included:
In-place dry density in accordance with ASTM D2937;
In-place moisture content in accordance with ASTM D2216;
Particle size analysis in accordance with ASTM D422;
Modified Proctor Test in accordance with ASTM D1557;
Expansion Index Test in accordance with ASTM D4829;
Direct shear in accordance with ASTM D3080;
Consolidation Test in accordance with ASTM 2435; and
Corrosion potential (including pH, minimum resistivity, soluble sulfates and soluble chlorides tests, in accordance with Cal DOT Standard Test Nos. 643, 417-B and 422).
Classifications made in the field were modified as appropriate based on the laboratory test results. These modifications and the type of tests performed on the selected soil samples are reflected in boring logs in Appendix B. Laboratory test results are summarized in Appendix C.
3.0 GEOLOGY AND SITE CONDITIONS
3.1 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The subject site lies within the southern block of the Los Angeles basin. The Los Angeles Basin is a depositional structure measuring approximately sixty by thirty miles and predominantly containing about 20,000 feet of Quaternary and Tertiary Age rock units. Tectonic activity, mainly during the Miocene age, created the central embayment for deposition of materials eroded from the uplifting highlands adjacent to the basin. Eventually the basin filled with sediments forming the land mass approximately as it exists today. Fluctuations in sea level during the Pleistocene, along with uplift and erosion have modified the landmass to its present form. The Los Angeles basin is bounded by the Santa Monica Mountains to the northwest, the Whittier fault to the northeast, by the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone to the southwest and the Santa Ana Mountains and the San Joaquin Hills to the south (Figure 4).
3.2 LOCAL GEOLOGY
As discussed, the site is underlain by deep alluvial deposits that have in-filled the Los Angeles basin. The near-surface soils in the area consist of young Quaternary alluvial fan deposits that represent deposition predominantly by the Santa Ana River. The current Santa Ana River channel is less than 500 feet from eastern boundary of the site, and has meandered significantly in its history. The alluvial deposits encountered consisted of alternating layers of clay, silt, fine-to-coarse grained sand and occasional gravel. Descriptions of these near surface alluvial deposits
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall
Page 5 VAC-15-001
are presented on the boring logs (Appendix B) and in the following section. Based on the borings excavated, layering is inconsistent. Direct correlations of the various deposits were difficult to conduct between borings and/or across either site. This is consistent with the migrating or wandering depositional environment related to the Santa Ana River. Minor artificial fills were encountered in the borings that were likely related to construction of the current facility. These deposits consisted of sand to sandy silt and were generally less than a few feet thick.
3.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface conditions encountered in our borings and CPTs at the site generally consist of a few feet of artificial fill underlain by young alluvium. A discussion of the subsurface materials encountered is presented in the following sections and is separated by the preferred site and the alternate site. Detailed descriptions of the deposits are provided in our logs of borings and CPTs presented in Appendices A and B. The sampling indicated significant changes in material types over a few feet. It is likely that most of the individual layers are only a few inches to a few feet in thickness and laterally discontinuous over a few tens of feet. The thicker zones may be continuous over greater distances. In addition due to the depositional environment typically clay deposits are more continuous than sand rich deposits. For the preferred site borings B-1 and B-2, and CPT’s 1 through 4 were excavated to determine the subsurface conditions. The alluvial deposits encountered consisted of gravelly sands to fat clays. The majority of the deposits however, were silty to lean clays, with lesser silty sands and clayey sands. As discussed above the layering should be considered highly variable and inconsistent laterally due to their depositional environment (meandering stream deposit). Clay rich deposits were the most common and encountered in all of the excavations at various depths. While these clay rich zones were often in each of the excavations, it is difficult to determine how laterally continuous they are. It is likely that a few of the clay rich zones are continuous throughout the Preferred Site Area. Specifically, it appears that there were relatively consistent clay rich deposits encountered in most/all of the borings at depths of approximately 8 to 12 feet, 18 to 22 feet, 26 to 30 feet, 34 to 37 feet, and below 45 feet in depth. In all of the excavations there were also Sand rich deposit encountered around 38 feet in depth. There was a lesser defined silty sand to sandy silt zone encountered in all the borings from approximately 22 to 26 feet in depth. A third sand rich zone was encountered in two of the excavations at depths ranging from 13 to 16 feet (CPT-1 and B-1), and to a much lesser extent in B-2. It should be emphasized that although these deposits appear to be continuous, actual conditions may be less continuous. For the alternate site, borings B-3, B-4, and CPT’s 5 through 8 were excavated and used to model subsurface conditions. The alternate site has more sand rich deposits beneath it than the preferred site. However, it is difficult to model the continuity of the sands, since they were not consistently encountered in all the borings. In general the upper deposits to a depth of approximately 26 feet consisted primarily of silty sand to sand. In addition, sand rich zones were often encountered at depths of 24 feet, 38 feet, and 44 to 46 feet in depth. Clay rich deposits were encountered in all/most of the excavations with slightly varying thicknesses at depths of approximately 17 to 18 feet, 26 to 28 feet, and 46 to 48 feet.
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall
Page 6 VAC-15-001
The only sand rich zone that was consistent across both the Preferred and Alternate sites was encountered at a depth of approximately 38 feet below the ground surface. Continuous clay rich zones were encountered across both sites at depths of approximately 18 feet, 28 feet and below a depth of approximately 45 feet. A graphical summary of exploratory borings and CPT field data (i.e. soil penetration resistance) and laboratory test data (i.e. soil classification and index properties) of selected soil specimens versus depth is provided in Figures 5a and 5b for preferred site and alternate site, respectively. The soil profile specifically includes side by side plots of the following data versus depth:
Soil penetration resistance (Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and equivalent SPT N-values calculated from Modified California blow counts and CPT);
In situ dry density and moisture content;
Degree of saturation; and
Fines content (percent of soil passing No. 200 sieve). The moisture contents range between 12 and 26 percent and dry densities vary from 87 to 105 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) in preferred site. In alternate site, moisture contents range between 3 and 20 percent and the measured dry densities vary from 93 to 114 pcf.
3.4 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was not encountered in the soil borings and CPTs performed for this investigation. Figure 6 is a plot of groundwater depth information provided by the Orange County Water District that indicates that in 2012 the depth to groundwater was approximately 103 feet below the ground surface (approximate elevation 133 above mean sea level) in both preferred and alternate locations. Based on the report prepared by Department of Mines and Geology (CDMG, 1997) for Anaheim Quadrangle, the historic high groundwater level is at a depth of 25 feet and 35 feet bgs at preferred site and alternate site, respectively (Figure 7), which were considered for liquefaction analyses.
4.0 SEISMICITY AND SEISMIC HAZARDS EVALUATION
4.1 REGIONAL FAULTS
The project site is in seismically active southern California, which contains a complex network of active and potentially active faults. The site is not located within a currently designated Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zone (Hart and Bryant, 1999). Figure 8 presents regional fault map. The major active and potentially active faults that could produce significant ground shaking at the site are summarized in Table 3 and discussed below.

San Joaquin Hills: The San Joaquin Hills blind-thrust fault is a buried thrust fault underlying the San Joaquin Hills, located in coastal Orange County. These hills are the surface expression of an anticline generated by uplift due to movement on the San Joaquin Hills blind-thrust fault. Measurements of uplifted ancient marsh deposits and a shoreline suggest that the last large earthquake (Mw >7) on this fault was less than 400 years ago (Grant et al., 2002). Estimated slip rates are between 0.4 and 0.7 mm/yr (Grant et al., 1999). This fault is considered a Class B fault by USGS (Petersen et al., 2008). Puente Hills (Coyote Hills): Movement on the Puente Hills blind-thrust fault (PHT) caused the 1987 magnitude 6.0 Whittier Narrows earthquake. The hypocenter of the 1987 event was at depth of approximately 13 km (8 miles) below the San Gabriel Valley. From the hypocentral region, the fault shallows southward towards the surface. The PHT has a subsurface extent of 44 km (27 miles), from west of downtown Los Angeles to near Brea, California. This fault does not reach the surface but instead a fold is formed above the fault ramp and is expressed as a fold-scarp at or just below the surface (Shaw and Shearer, 1999; Pratt et al., 2001; Christofferson et al., 2002). To the north of the 1987 hypocenter, the fault flattens and continues beneath the San Gabriel mountains and merges with the Sierra Madre-Cucamonga fault system (Fuis et al., 2001). Buried fold scarps along the Santa Fe Springs segment reveal evidence for 4 major earthquakes (Mw > 7.0) generated by the PHT in the past 11,000 years (Dolan et al., 2003). Late Quaternary slip rates range from 0.3 to 1.1 mm/yr, however, minimum Holocene slip rates range from 1.1 to 1.6 mm/yr (Dolan et al, 2003; Frankel et al., 2002). The estimated maximum earthquake on this fault is Mw 6.9. The PHT is considered a Class B fault (Frankel et al., 2002). The closest segment of PHT is located north of the site. Newport-Inglewood (South Los Angeles Basin Section-Southern): The LA Basin or Onshore Segment of the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone is approximately 64 km (40 miles) long,

Page 8 VAC-15-001
extending southeastward from the Santa Monica fault to Newport Beach where it transitions to the Offshore Segment. The Onshore Segment is a discontinuous zone that is poorly exposed at the surface. The right-lateral, strike-slip fault zone is represented by a series of left-stepping en-echelon anticlines. This segment is located east of the project site. The estimated slip rate for this segment of the fault is 1.0±0.5 mm/yr (Freeman et al., 1992; WGCEP, 1995). The maximum moment magnitude earthquake along this segment of the fault has been estimated to be Mw 7.1 (Cao et al., 2003). This segment of the fault is considered a Type B fault by CDMG/USGS (Frankel et al., 2002; Petersen, et al., 2008). Peralta Hills: The Peralta Hills fault is an east-west trending, north-dipping reverse fault located on the south side of the Peralta Hills, 6.9 km (4.3 mile) from the project site. Mapping by Schoellhamer et al. (1981) and Morton et al. (1976) describe this fault as placing Miocene Puente Formation over Quaternary alluvial deposits (Wills, 1988). The fault has been investigated by various consultants; however, sufficient evidence for movement in the last 11,000 years has not yet been found (Wills, 1988). The Peralta Hills fault is not considered an active fault and is classified as potentially active by the California State Geological Survey (Wills, 1988). El Modeno Fault: The El Modeno fault is a northeast trending, southwest dipping normal fault mapped for 10 to 18 km (6.2 to 11 miles) from Peter’s Canyon Wash to Burrel Ridge. The El Modeno fault is poorly defined, as it is covered by Quaternary alluvium for much of its length. Significant evidence for Holocene activity has not yet been found for this fault which is generally considered as a potentially active fault at this time. It is unclear to what extent the Peralta Hills and the El Modeno faults interact near Burrul Ridge. Elsinore (Whittier Section): The Whittier fault is the northwestward extension of the Elsinore fault, a 250-km (155 miles) long fault that is traced from Los Angeles to northern Baja California in Mexico. The Whittier segment is approximately 40 km (25 miles) long, and extends from the Whittier Narrows section of the San Gabriel River southeastward to the Santa Ana River. Although no major historical earthquakes have been attributed to the Whittier fault, studies done by several investigators, most of which included trenching, have documented movement on this fault in the last 11,000 years (Hannan et at., 1979; Leighton 1987; Rockwell et al., 1988; Gath et al., 1992; Patterson and Rockwell, 1993). Slip rates on this fault range from 2.5 to 3 mm/yr (Rockwell et al., 1990; Gath et al., 1992). The estimated maximum earthquake to occur along the Whittier fault segment is Mw 7.0 (Petersen et al., 2008). The fault is classified as a Class A fault by the California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG, Frankel et al., 2002) and United States Geological Survey (USGS, Petersen et al., 2008). The Whittier fault is located northeast of the site. San Andreas Fault: The San Andreas fault has been mapped from Cape Mendocino in northern California to an area near the Mexican border, a distance of over 1,000 km (about 625 miles). Its activity is known from historic earthquakes, most notable are the 1857 and 1906 magnitude 8 earthquakes, and from many fault studies, which have shown that the San Andreas offsets, or displaces, recently deposited sediments. The closest segments of the San Andreas fault to the project site are the San Bernardino and Southern segments, which ares located to the east-northeast of the project site. These segments are capable of producing an estimated maximum

Page 9 VAC-15-001
moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.2 to 7.3 (Frankel et al., 2002; Petersen et al., 2008). Average slip rates along the San Bernardino and Southern segments are between 18 and 30 mm/yr (WGCEP, 1995; Salyards et al., 1992; Sieh, 1984). This fault is considered a Class A fault by the CDMG/USGS (Frankel et al., 2002; Petersen, et al., 2008).
4.2 SEISMIC HAZARDS AND DESIGN PARAMETERS CONSIDERATION
4.2.1 Fault Related Ground Rupture
The site is located within the seismically active area of southern California, but outside a Fault Hazard Zone defined by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Hazards Act (APEHA) of 1972 (Hart and Bryant, 1999). The proposed improvements should expect to experience at least one strong to severe seismic event during its anticipated lifetime. In general terms, an earthquake is caused when strain energy in rocks is suddenly released by movement along a plane of weakness. In some cases, fault movement propagates upward through the subsurface materials and causes displacement at the ground surface. Surface rupture usually occurs along traces of known or potentially active faults, although many historic events have occurred on faults not previously known to be active. Seismicity within this region is a result of the dominantly reverse-slip regime of the Transverse Ranges. Ground rupture caused by movement along a fault could likely result in catastrophic structural damage to buildings constructed along the fault trace. Consequently, the State of California via the APEHA prohibits the construction of occupied structures within the designated fault zones and requires demonstrating that the structure does not encroach upon a 50-foot setback from the fault trace. Local government agencies may identify additional faults, in addition to those faults mandated by the State, for which minimum construction setback requirements must be maintained. The proposed project site is not located inside a Fault Hazard Zone as delineated by the California Geological Survey. Fault related ground rupture is typically related to previous fault ground rupture from previous earthquakes. Therefore, the potential for ground rupture at the site related to an earthquake event is considered to be negligible. 4.2.2 Ground Shaking
The energy released during an earthquake propagates from its rupture surface in the form of seismic waves. The resulting strong ground motion from the seismic wave propagation can cause significant damage to structures. At any location, the intensity of the ground motion is a function of the distance to the fault rupture, the local soil/bedrock conditions, and the earthquake magnitude. Intensity is usually greater in areas underlain by unconsolidated material than in areas underlain by more competent rock. Earthquakes are characterized by a moment magnitude, which is a quantitative measure of the strength of the earthquake based on strain energy released during the event. The magnitude is independent of the site, but is dependent on several factors including the type of fault, rock type,

Page 10 VAC-15-001
and stored energy. Moderate to severe ground shaking will be experienced in the project area if a large magnitude earthquake occurs on one of the nearby late Quaternary faults and may cause structural damage to the on-site improvements. This is common to virtually all developments in southern California. The following sections summarize potential ground shaking hazards at the site. 4.2.3 Seismic Design Considerations
The seismic design coefficients are provided below based on Chapter 16 of the 2013 CBC using the information in Table 4, below.

The peak ground acceleration adjusted for site effects (PGAM) was calculated to be 0.531g, as defined by ASCE7-10 Chapter 11. Details of seismic analyses are included in the Appendix D. 4.2.4 Liquefaction Potential
Soil liquefaction results from loss of strength during cyclic loading, such as imposed by earthquakes. Soils most susceptible to liquefaction are loose to moderately dense, cohesionless saturated granular soils, such as silty sands or sands. When earthquake ground shaking occurs, the cohesionless soil is subjected to cyclic shear stresses that can cause increased pore water pressure that induces liquefaction. The pore water pressure increases and eventually liquefaction can cause softening of the soils due to shear
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall
Page 11 VAC-15-001
strength loss, and results in large cyclic deformations. Softening accompanied by a loss of shear strength may lead to large shear deformations or even flow failure under moderate to high shear stresses, such as beneath a foundation or sloping ground (NCEER/NSF, 1998). Loose granular soil can also settle (compact) during liquefaction as pore pressures dissipate following an earthquake. Very limited field data is available on this subject; however, in some cases, settlement on the order of 2 to 3 percent of the thickness of the liquefied zone has been measured. According to the State of California Geological Survey (CGS) Official Seismic Hazard Map for Anaheim quadrangle dated April 15, 1998, the proposed sites (both preferred and alternate) are located in a liquefaction-prone area (Figure 9). Groundwater was not encountered in the soil borings drilled to a maximum depth of approximately 51.5 feet. However, based on the report prepared by Department of Mines and Geology (CDMG, 1997) for Anaheim Quadrangle, the historic high groundwater level is at a depth of about 28 feet and 35 feet bgs, at preferred and alternate sites, respectively. Therefore, a detailed liquefaction study was performed as part of this investigation. CLiq software (ver 1.7.6.49) developed by GeoLogismik, was used for analyzing the CPT data using a method proposed by Boulanger and Idriss (2014). Details of liquefaction analyses are included in the Appendix E. 4.2.5 Earthquake Induced Lateral Spreading and Flow Failure
Lateral spreading typically occurs as a form of lateral displacement along liquefiable soils toward a free face such as river bank or slope face. As cracks develop within the weakened material, blocks of soil displace laterally. Cracking and lateral movement may gradually propagate away from the face as blocks continue to break free. Generally, failure in this mode is analytically unpredictable. However, due to the flat nature of site terrain, the potential for lateral spreading at the site is considered to be lower at the alternate site, as compared with the preferred site which is adjacent to a free face (Santa Ana River). For a site adjacent to a free face, lateral displacement may be ignored when liquefiable soils are present below a depth of two times height of free face (Idriss and Boulanger, 2008). At the preferred site, liquefiable layers are below the two times height of the slope of the channel (height of the slope is around 10 feet). Accordingly, the lateral spreading may be ignored. 4.2.6 Earthquake-Induced Settlement
Granular soils tend to densify when subjected to shear strains induced by ground shaking during earthquakes. Method proposed by Boulanger and Idriss (2014) was used to calculate the earthquake-induced settlement using CPT data in CLiq software. Settlement of loose and medium-dense sands could result from a strong earthquake for layers above the groundwater table. A detailed liquefaction study was performed as part of this investigation. Using the CPT data and the historically high groundwater table, the site soils were found to be potentially liquefiable below 30 feet and 38 feet bgs at preferred and alternate site, respectively. More accurate estimation of seismic settlement can be performed utilizing the CPT data, which provides a
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall
Page 12 VAC-15-001
continuous profile of subsurface soils, as compared with SPT data, which are obtained at the point of sampling. Eight (8) cone penetration tests (CPTs), CPT-1 through CPT-4 in preferred site and CPT-5 through CPT-8 in alternate site were performed to obtain more detailed and continuous subsurface conditions of the site. Based on the CPT data, the potential ground settlement due to soil liquefaction was calculated to be on the order of 1.3 to 2.0 inches at the preferred site and 0.5 to 1.2 inches at the alternate site. The liquefaction analyses and earthquake-induced settlements are presented in Appendix E. Based on the settlement calculation and considering the distance between the CPT locations, maximum differential settlement may be expected approximately 0.89 in per 100 ft and 0.25 in per 100 ft across the preferred and alternate sites, respectively. 4.2.7 Landslides
According to CGS (1998), the proposed site is not in a potential Earthquake-Induced Landslides zone. Due to the relatively low relief of the project site, the potential for landslide is considered to be low. 4.2.8 Ground Lurching
Lurching is the relative displacement of adjacent land surfaces during an earthquake. As the seismic motion encounters a cliff or bluff, a stream bank, or even a fill slope at the nearly right angles it may cause displacement of the material in the unsupported direction (Richter, 1958). Lurching may also be caused by liquefaction of a zone beneath the otherwise intact surface. Visible evidence of lurching includes ground cracking and fissuring generally in a relatively parallel fashion to a stream bank or slope face. Ground cracking caused by lurching is not related to the fault rupture. The potential for lurch cracking and lateral spreading is highest in areas where there is a high groundwater table, relatively soft and recent alluvium deposits, and where creek banks are relatively high. 4.2.9 Flooding Tsunamis and Seiches
Tsunamis, or seismic sea waves, are large oceanic waves generated by earthquakes, submarine volcanic eruptions or large submarine landslides. They are capable of traveling long distances across ocean basins, and can force large quantities of water up onto shore at high velocities. Seiches are waves with similar behavior, however, they are generally considered to be smaller, with low-energy waves that form in smaller bodies of water such as bays, rivers and lakes. The forces involved with tsunamis are of such large magnitude that the only positive means of protection is to avoid areas subject to tsunamis. The largest tsunami reported in California followed the 1812 earthquake, in which sea waves as high as 30 to 35 feet reached Santa Barbara. Due to the project’s location and elevation, flooding is not expected from intensive rainfall, tsunami or seiche, or dam or levee breaks.

5.0 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
5.1 GENERAL
The discussions and recommendations presented in the following sections are based on our understanding of the proposed project requirements, the results of our geotechnical investigation, and our professional judgment. Both preferred and alternate sites are not located in an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone but located in a liquefaction hazard zone. There are no known geologic hazards that would preclude the project as planned. It is our opinion that based on the above-cited geotechnical findings, both sites are suitable for the proposed improvements. Specific recommendations are provided for the preferred site in this report. Design and construction of the proposed project, should be performed based on the following recommendations.
5.2 EFFECT OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES
It is our professional opinion that the proposed development will not adversely affect, nor be adversely affected by adjoining properties, with due precautions taken, and if our recommendations are implemented.
5.3 PRIMARY GEOTECHNICAL CONCERNS
Primary geotechnical concerns are the presence of unsuitable near surface soils and seismic settlement that may be mitigated based on the recommendations provided in this report.
5.4 SOIL EXPANSION POTENTIAL
According to the 2013 California Building Code (2013 CBC), soils meeting the following four requirements are considered expansive. The first three items shall not be required if the test prescribed in the last item is conducted:
Plasticity index (PI) greater than 15 (ASTM D4318), More than 10 percent of the soil particles pass a No. 200 sieve (ASTM D422), More than 10 percent of the soil particles are less than 5 micrometers in size (ASTM
D422), and Expansion index greater than 20, determined in accordance with ASTM D4829.
Expansion Index (EI) test conducted on the near-surface (0 to 5 feet) material for the preferred site at Boring B-2 yielded an EI of 17 as shown in Appendix C. Based on the result of our test, the shallow soils at Boring B-2 are considered non-expansive.

6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 EARTHWORK
6.1.1 Clearing and Site Preparation
Prior to construction, the site should be cleared of all above-ground obstacles and structures. Existing utility and irrigation lines should be protected in-place, rerouted, or removed if they interfere with the proposed construction. The resulting cavities from removal of utility lines should be properly backfilled and compacted under the supervision of the project geotechnical engineer. Vegetation, debris, and organic matter should not be incorporated into the structural fill. 6.1.2 Over-excavation and Foundation Preparation
As stated before, near surface soils are not considered suitable for the support of the proposed development. Accordingly; existing onsite soils should be removed to a depth of 6.5 feet below existing ground surface or 4.5 feet below the bottom of the footings (whichever is deeper) and replaced as compacted fills. Actual depth of removal should be evaluated during observation and testing of grading by the geotechnical consultant. Lateral extent of remedial remval should be based on the recommendations provided subsequently for placement of geogrids reinforced subgrade used to partially mitigate liquefaction effects (see section 6.3). All fill should be placed and compacted in accordance with the recommendations for fill presented in the “Compaction” subsection. 6.1.3 Abandoned Utilities
Abandon utilities (if any) excavated during the remedial grading should be removed entirely and the end segments beyond the excavation zone should be plugged by concrete. 6.1.4 Subgrade Preparation
After the site has been properly cleared, stripped, and required overexcavations have been made, removal bottom areas receiving fill should be scarified in-place to a depth of 8 inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted in accordance with the recommendations for fill presented in the “Compaction” subsection. The finished compacted subgrade should be firm and non-yielding under the weight of compaction equipment. 6.1.5 Materials for Engineered Fill
The onsite soil, free of organic material, debris and oversize materials (greater than six inches in largest dimension) is suitable to be used in general fills. If import soil is considered as an alternative, the import soil should not exhibit an Expansion Index (EI) greater than 40 and contain more than 35 percent fines. The proposed import source should be screened by the geotechnical engineer for the following tests:
Gradation (ASTM D 422) Atterberg Limits (ASTM D 4318) Expansion Index (ASTM D 4829)
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall
Page 15 VAC-15-001
Soluble Sulfate, Soluble Chloride, and pH and Soil Resistivity (CT 417, CT 422, and CT 643) Additional tests may be required if the proposed import source passes the initial screening. 6.1.6 Fill Placement and Compaction
All fill, as well as scarified surface soils in those areas to receive fill, slabs-on-grade, or concrete flat works, should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction as determined by ASTM Test Designation D1557, latest edition. Fill should be placed in lifts no greater than 8 inches in uncompacted thickness at moisture content near the laboratory optimum. Each successive lift should be firm and non-yielding under the weight of construction equipment. As stated subsequently, in order to minimize the differential settlement, placement of three (3) layers of geogrids within the compacted subgrade fills is recommended. 6.1.7 Temporary Excavation
All temporary excavations, including utility trenches, retaining wall excavations, and other excavations should be performed in accordance with project plans, specifications and all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. The onsite soils generally conform to OSHA soil Type B. OSHA regulations are applicable in areas with no restriction of surrounding ground deformations. The soil type should be verified or revised based on geotechnical observation and testing during construction, as soil classifications may vary over short horizontal distances. In general, temporary excavation slopes should be no steeper than 1:1 (horizontal to vertical, [H: V]). These temporary excavation slopes recommendations are applicable to excavations less than 10 feet during normal construction periods, provided the slopes are maintained. If such slopes are constructed, we recommend that surface drainage be directed away from the top of the excavation, and that no construction equipment is operated and/or parked, or material is stockpiled within 10 feet from the top of the slope. It should be the Contractor’s responsibility to monitor the slopes and provide adequate and safe support for the excavation, as well as nearby structures. 6.1.8 Wet Weather Conditions
Earthwork contractors should be made aware of the moisture sensitivity of fine grain soils and potential compaction difficulties if encountered. If construction is undertaken during wet weather conditions, some of the surficial soils may become saturated, soft and unworkable.
6.2 POST-GRADING CONSIDERATIONS
6.2.1 Surface Drainage
Positive surface water drainage gradients (2% minimum) should be provided adjacent to the structures to direct surface water away from foundations and slabs towards suitable discharge facilities. Ponding of surface water should not be allowed on or adjacent to structures or pavements.
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall
Page 16 VAC-15-001
6.2.2 Utility Trench Backfill
The utility trench subgrade should be firm and unyielding and should be observed and tested by the geotechnical consultant prior to placing pipe bedding materials. The bedding materials should be composed of free draining sand, gravel, or crushed rock. If sand is used, the sand should have a Sand Equivalent (SE) greater than 30. Pipe bedding should extend below the pipe to a depth in accordance with the pipe manufacturer's specifications. The pipe bedding materials should extend to at least 12 inches over the top of pipe. Trench excavation above the pipe bedding may be backfilled with suitable onsite soils under the observation and testing of the geotechnical consultant. All fill soils should be placed in loose lifts, moisture-conditioned to two to three percent above optimum moisture content, and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction as determined by ASTM Method D 1557. Lift thickness should follow the thickness specified in the latest edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC). The fill soils should extend to the bottom of the pavement structural section. Base material should be moisture-conditioned to between optimum and two percent above optimum moisture and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction as determined by ASTM Method D 1557.
6.3 FOUNDATIONS
To reduce the impact of liquefaction and to provide adequate support for the proposed facility, using a combination of ground improvement and a spread footing connected with reinforced concrete tie beams/continuous footings may be considered for the project. In order to minimize the seismic-induce differential settlements, the use of 3 layers of geogrid within the compacted fill below foundation is recommended. The geogrids create a stiffened subgrade that spans underneath the proposed structure and thus, reduces the differential static and seismic settlements. Recommendations for the spread/continuous foundations are provided assuming ground improvement with geogrid layers in combination with spread footings connected with tie beam/continuous footings are considered to reduce the adverse impact of liquefaction-induced settlements. 6.3.1 Geogrid Reinforced Fills
The use of geogrids has proven to cost-effectively improve the bearing capacity and settlement performance of structures. Geogrids are one of the commonly used forms of reinforcement, which are polymeric grids formed by a regular network of integrally connected multi-directional tensile elements of appropriate orientation, size and shape with apertures of appropriate size and shape to allow interlocking with surrounding soil, rock, or earth to function primarily as reinforcement. For a geogrid reinforced subgrade, more than one layer of geogrid reinforcement is placed within layers of engineered fill material to create a composite material with improved performance characteristics. Some possible advantages of using the geogrids as reinforcement are as follows:
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall
Page 17 VAC-15-001
Spreading differential displacements and also reducing angular distortions relative to a distinct offset in an underlying normal or reverse bedrock fault (Bray et al., 1993 and Bray, 2001).
Reduce total and differential settlements by forming a stiffened mat beneath concrete footings.
Improve the margin of safety against unforeseen soil conditions. Increase the effective bearing capacity of the soils, thus reduce size of the footing.
Based on the information provided by the specialty subconsultant (Tensar Corporation, LLC) presented in Appendix F, the following steps may be implemented for placement of geogrids (see figure in Appendix F):
Excavation and Compaction: Remedial removals depth should be performed based on the recommendations provided before. Lateral extent of remedial removals should be extended horizontally a minimum of 10 feet beyond the footprint of improvements.
Placement of Geogrid: Place the first layer of Geogrid TriAx TX7 or similar alternate geogrid materials (specifications provided in Appendix F) in position over the prepared removal bottom and anchor it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The other two geogrid layers shall be placed in 2.0 feet intervals. Geogrid may be temporarily secured in place with staples, pins, sand bags or backfill as required by fill properties, fill placement procedures or weather conditions.
Overlaps: Overlap the geogrid a minimum of one foot or as recommended by the manufacturer. Care shall be taken to ensure that structural geogrid sections do not separate at overlaps during construction. To prevent separation, simple joining methods may be utilized, such as wire ties, plastic ties, hog rings, staples or hooks. Maximum joint spacing of 20 to 30 feet is normally adequate to prevent grid separation at overlaps.
Placement of Engineering Fill: Place the layer(s) of engineered fill per Section 6.1.5, “Material for Fill”, specification and compact the soils using appropriate compaction equipment per Section 6.1.6, “Compaction”, to the specified relative density in position over the previous prepared layer of geogid/compacted fill.
Placement of Layers of Geogrid and Fill: Place the layers of geogrid and fill materials as explained above. The structural geogrid shall be oriented such that the roll direction runs perpendicular to the roll direction of the previous layer of geogrid. After placement of the third geogrid layer, place additional layers of engineered fill to reach the design elevation. A minimum of 6 inches of compacted engineering fill is required to cover the last layer of geogrid before placing the footing on the geogrid reinforced subgrade.
Placement of the Footing: Place the footing on the geogrid reinforced subgrade per recommendations in the next section.
Fill material shall be placed, spread and compacted in such a manner that minimizes the development of wrinkles in the geogrid and/or movement of the geogrid. A minimum loose fill thickness of 6 inches is required prior to operation of tracked vehicles over the geogrid. Turning of tracked vehicles should be kept to a minimum to prevent tracks from displacing the fill and damaging the geogrid. Sudden braking and sharp turning movements shall be avoided.

Page 18 VAC-15-001
Until now, a simple technique to analyze and design geogrid reinforced soil mats for mitigation of seismically-induced settlements has not been developed. Based on the engineering judgment, the geogrid reinforced soil mats are designed to reduce the amount of seismically induced differential settlements. Similar ground improvement and spread footings with connected beams/ continuous footing system have been used at other liquefiable sites in southern California in the recent years to lower the impact of liquefaction-induced settlements on the facilities. To reduce potential damage to the new piping system, all piping system should be equipped with flexible joints. 6.3.2 Spread Footings/ Continuous Footings
Based on the results of analyses and anticipated near surface and subgrade conditions of finished grade soils, an allowable net static bearing capacity of 2,000 pounds per square foot may be used for design of a two-foot wide spread footing embedded a minimum of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent grade. This value includes a bearing capacity safety factor greater than 3, and may be increased by 400 psf for every additional foot of depth and 200 psf for every additional foot of width to a maximum of 4,000 psf. Minimum widths of 2 feet and 1.5 feet are recommended for spread and continuous footings, respectively. A minimum depth of embedment of 18 and 12 inches is recommended for exterior and interior footings, respectively. The allowable bearing pressure may be increased by one-third for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces only when using the alternative basic load combinations and following all conditions described in Section 1605.3.2 (Alternative Basic Load Combinations) of the 2013 CBC. A lateral passive soil resistance on footing walls embedded in certified engineered fill of 250 psf per foot of depth below the lowest adjacent finished grade, to a maximum of 2,500 psf, may be used for design. This lateral resistance may be combined with a lateral sliding based on a coefficient of friction of 0.30 to be multiplied by the dead load. We estimate that combined (static and seismic) total settlement for the footing will be less than approximately 2.5 inches. Differential settlement is anticipated to be less than one inch over a distance of 40 feet. Utility conduits should be kept beyond a 1H: 1V projection from the bottom of foundations. Effects of adjacent foundations closer than three times the smallest foundation width should be evaluated by the Geotechnical Engineer of Record on a case by case basis. These recommendations shall be used in conjunction with the minimum specified thickness of geogrid reinforced subgrade below the bottom of the foundation as indicated in Section 6.3.1, “Geogrid Reinforced Fills”, to reduce the effects of earthquake-induced total and differential settlements on the proposed improvements. 6.3.3 Slab-on-Grade
A subgrade coefficient of 120 pounds per cubic inch (pci) may be used for structural design of interior slab-on-grade should follow Section 1808A.6.2 of the latest California Building Code for
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall

expansive soil. Slab-on-grade should be at least 4 inches thick and be reinforced with No. 4 reinforcing bars (placed at the middle of slab) spaced at 15 inches on center, both ways. Frequent control joints should be provided for both interior and exterior slab-on-grade to minimize unsightly and damaging cracking. As a minimum, a moisture retarder consisting of a 15-mil visqueen (or equivalent) should be placed below interior slabs. The adjoining vapor retarder should be overlapped at least four inches and properly secured (e.g, taping using a polythene sheets or polypropylene type). In addition, penetrations through the Visqueen should be sealed with overlaping visqueen. The moisture retarder should be underlain by a minimum of two inches of sand. Gravel or other protruding objects that could puncture the moisture retarder should be removed from the subgrade prior to placing the sand. To protect the moistuer retarder from damage due to construction activities, an additional two inches of sand should be placed atop the moisture retarder. We recommend that a qualified person, such as the flooring subcontractor, be consulted with to evaluate the general and specific moisture vapor transmission paths and any impact on the proposed construction. That person should provide recommendations for mitigation of potential adverse impact of moisture vapor transmission on various components of the structures as deemed appropriate.
6.4 SOLUBLE SULFATE AND GENERAL CORROSIVITY
One (1) sample was submitted to an analytical laboratory for pH, soluble sulfate and chloride content testing. The results of the tests are summarized in Table 5. Based on the sulfate content of onsite soils, Type II cement may be used in concrete in contact with onsite soils and no specific water/cement ratio is required from a geotechnical standpoint. A minimum compressive strength of 2,500 psf is recommended for concrete.

Notes: 1. mg/kg = milligrams per kilogram (parts per million) of dry soil. 2. The approximate relationship between soil resistivity and soil corrosivity was developed based on the findings of studies
presented in ASTM STP 1013 titled “Effects of Soil Characteristics on Corrosion” (February, 1989). 3. The approximate relationship between water-soluble sulfate (SO4) in soil (percent by weight) and soil corrosivity was
developed based on the 2013 California Building Code (CBC), referring to ACI 318-11.

The above tests were performed for screening purposes only. Our firm does not practice corrosion engineering; therefore, we recommend that a corrosion engineer be retained to evaluate the corrosion potential of the onsite soils and any impact on the proposed project sewer line and structures.
6.5 DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED SOIL
If contaminated soils are encountered during excavation, they should be disposed properly. Disposal of any contaminated soil or water should be in accordance with the local and county guidelines and jurisdictions.
7.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES
7.1 REVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Subsurface conditions may vary from those predicted by relatively small diameter and widely spaced exploration borings performed during this investigation. Should conditions that are different from those described herein be observed during construction, supplemental investigation would be warranted. In addition, we recommend that the grading and foundation plans and specifications be reviewed by the geotechnical consultant. Technical specifications should include provisions for conformance testing consistent with the recommendations made in this report.
7.2 GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATION AND TESTING
We recommend that observation and testing be performed by the geotechnical consultant during the following stages of construction:
Grading operations, including excavations and placement of compacted fill and geogrids, Foundation excavations and installation, Removal or installation of support of buried utilities or structures, and When any unusual subsurface conditions are encountered.
8.0 LIMITATIONS
This report has been prepared for the sole use of VA Consulting, specifically for design of the Multi-Purpose Building Facility in Orange, California. The opinions presented in this report have been formulated in accordance with existing accepted geotechnical engineering practices in the southern California at the time this report was written. No other warranty, express or implied, is made or should be inferred. The opinions, conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based upon the information obtained from our investigation, which includes data from widely separated discrete sampling locations, visual observations from our site reconnaissance, and review of other geotechnical data provided to us, along with local experience and engineering judgment. The recommendations presented in this report are based on the assumption that soil and geologic conditions at or between borings do not deviate substantially from those encountered or
VA Consulting Geotechnical Professional Services Proposed Multipurpose Building Site for Juvenile Hall
Page 21 VAC-15-001
extrapolated from the information collected during our investigation. We are not responsible for the data presented by others. We should be retained to review the geotechnical aspects of the final plans and specifications for conformance with our recommendations. The recommendations provided in this report are based on the assumption that HAI will be retained to provide observation and testing services during construction to confirm that conditions are similar to that assumed for design and to form an opinion as to whether the work has been performed in accordance with the project plans and specifications. If we are not retained for these services, HAI cannot assume any responsibility for any potential claims that may arise during or after construction as a result of misuse or misinterpretation of HAI’s report by others. Furthermore, HAI will cease to be the Geotechnical-Engineer-of-Record if we are not retained for these services and/or at the time another consultant is retained for follow up service to this report. The opinions presented in this report are valid as of the present date for the property evaluated. Changes in the condition of the property will likely occur with the passage of time due to natural processes and/or the works of man. In addition, changes in applicable standards of practice can occur as a result of legislation and/or the broadening of knowledge. Furthermore, geotechnical issues may arise that were not apparent at the time of our investigation. Accordingly, the opinions presented in this report may be invalidated, wholly or partially, by changes outside of our control. Therefore, this report is subject to review and should not be relied upon after a period of three years, nor should it be used, or is it applicable, for any other property.

PROPOSED MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING SITE FOR JUVENILE HALL CITY OF ORANGE, CALIFORNIA HAI PROJECT NO. VAC-15-001
Dear Mr. Broz: Per your request, Hushmand Associates, Inc. (HAI) has completed two percolation tests at the project site for the proposed Multipurpose Building site for Juvenile Hall, located in the City of Orange, California. This report has been prepared in accordance with the scope of work outlined in HAI’s Proposal No. P16-0115 dated January 15, 2016. Project Description and Background
The project consists of constructing a 25,000 square feet (SF) Multi-Purpose Building (MRC) within the Orange County Juvenile Hall Campus (Figure 1). The MRC includes a visitation center, gymnasium, multipurpose rooms, treatment rooms, and support facilities. Two locations within the existing campus were considered for the proposed building site. The preferred location is on an existing baseball field (Preferred Site) in close proximity to the Santa Ana River. The alternate location is on the northwest corner of the campus (Alternate Site) on land that is currently occupied by four existing housing units (Buildings R, S, O, M, and Class Rooms 19 and 20). The Preferred Site will have a footprint of between 41,232 SF and 60,000 SF, while the Alternate Site will have a footprint of 80,500 SF. The purpose of this investigation is to measure the infiltration rates of subsoils in the Preferred Site location of the proposed Multipurpose Building. The locations of the percolation tests are shown in Figure 2. Subsurface Conditions
A soil boring was drilled at two locations on February 16, 2016 to evaluate the subsurface soil conditions within the planned depth. Based on the soil cuttings retreated from the soil borings, the subsurface soils at the test locations P-1 and P-2 consist of silt/sandy silt, silty sand and sandy to silty clays. Groundwater was not encountered during drilling. The boring logs are presented in Appendix A. Laboratory test results are included in Appendix B.

VAC-15-001
Percolation Test
Percolation test was performed at test locations P-1 and P-2 (see Figure 2) in accordance with Section VII.3: Methods for Establishing Design Infiltration Rate of the Technical Guidance Document Appendix VII for the Preparation of Conceptual/Preliminary and/or Project Water Quality Management Plans (WQMPs). The Percolation Test Procedure, as detailed in Section VII.3.8 of Appendix VII was used to determine the soil infiltration rate. After drilling, the boreholes were converted to percolation test wells. The hole was presoaked overnight with standing water on February 16, 2016. On the next day, the borehole was presoaked again, and after presoaking, soil infiltration rates were measured in general conformance with the County guidelines. During the test, the drops in water level in the well was measured at regular time intervals. Based on the in-situ measurement, the calculated infiltration rates (inch per hour) of the subsoils within the test zone at each location are summarized in Table 1. Appendix C provides the percolation test readings and calculation tables presented in accordance with the County requirements.
Table 1: Summary of Percolation Test Results The above values do not have a safety factor. Based on the Orange County Public Works Drainage Area Management Plan Technical Guidance Document, the factor of safety used to compute the design infiltration rate shall not be less than 2.0. The actual factor of safety should be determined as per Worksheet H: Factor of Safety and Design Infiltration Rate. The Suitability Assessment Safety Factor, SA, has been determined and included in Appendix C. HAI appreciates the opportunity of being of service to Stantec Consulting Services Inc., Should you need additional information or any clarifications please call the undersigned. Sincerely yours, HUSHMAND ASSOCIATES, INC.

*If two consecutive measurements show that six inches of water seeps away in less than 25 minutes, the test shall be run for an additional hour with measurements taken every 10 minutes. Otherwise, testing may commence after all of the water has percolated through the test hole or after 15 hours have elapsed since initiating the pre‐soak. However, to assure saturated conditions, testing must commence no later than 26 hours after all pre‐soak water has percolated through the test hole. Refill the hole and obtain measurements with a precision of at least 0.25" every 30 minutes for at least six hours refilling after every measurement.

Help Prevent Ocean Pollution:
Preventing waterpollution at yourcommercial/industrial site
Clean beaches and healthy creeks, rivers, bays and ocean are important to Orange County. However, many landscape and building maintenance activities can lead to water pollution if you’re not careful. Paint, chemicals, plant clippings and other materials can be blown or washed into storm drains that flow to the ocean. Unlike water in sanitary sewers (from sinks and toilets), water in storm drains is not treated before entering our waterways.
You would never pour soap or fertilizers into the ocean, so why would you let them enter the storm drains? Follow these easy tips to help prevent water pollution.
Some types of industrial facilities are required to obtain coverage under the State General Industrial Permit. For more information visit: www.swrcb.ca.gov/stormwater/industrial.html
Printed on Recycled Paper
Tips for Pool Maintenance Call your trash hauler to replace leaking
dumpsters.
Do not dump any toxic substance or liquid waste on the pavement, the ground, or near a storm drain. Even materials that seem harmless such as latex paint or biodegradable cleaners can damage the environment.
Recycle paints, solvents and other materials. For more information about recycling and collection centers, visit www.oclandfills.com.
Store materials indoors or under cover and away from storm drains.
Use a construction and demolition recycling company to recycle lumber, paper, cardboard, metals, masonry, carpet, plastic, pipes, drywall, rocks, dirt, and green waste. For a listing of construction and demolition recycling locations in your area, visit
www.ciwmb.ca.gov/recycle.
Properly label materials. Familiarize employees with Material Safety Data Sheets.
Landscape Maintenance
Compost grass clippings, leaves, sticks and other vegetation, or dispose of it at a permitted landfill or in green waste containers. Do not dispose of these materials in the street, gutter or storm drain.
Irrigate slowly and inspect the system for leaks, overspraying and runoff. Adjust automatic timers to avoid overwatering.
Follow label directions for the use and disposal of fertilizers and pesticides.
Do not apply pesticides or fertilizers if rain is expected within 48 hours or if wind speeds are above 5 mph.
Do not spray pesticides within 100 feet of waterways.
Fertilizers should be worked into the soil rather than dumped onto the surface.
If fertilizer is spilled on the pavement or sidewalk, sweep it up immediately and place it back in the container.
Building Maintenance
Never allow washwater, sweepings or sediment to enter the storm drain.
Sweep up dry spills and use cat litter, towels or similar materials to absorb wet spills. Dispose of it in the trash.
If you wash your building, sidewalk or parking lot, you must contain the water. Use a shop vac to collect the water and contact your city or sanitation agency for proper disposal information. Do not let water enter the street, gutter or storm drain.
Use drop cloths underneath outdoor painting, scraping, and sandblasting work, and properly dispose of materials in the trash.
Use a ground cloth or oversized tub for mixing paint and cleaning tools.
Use a damp mop or broom to clean floors.
Cover dumpsters to keep insects, animals, rainwater and sand from entering. Keep the area around the dumpster clear of trash and debris. Do not overfill the dumpster.

Proper Maintenance Practices for your Business
Never Dispose of Anything in the Storm
Drain.
Clean beaches and healthy 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.

Responsible Pest Control
Printed on Recycled Paper
Key Steps to Follow:Step 1: Correctly identify the pest (insect, weed, rodent, or disease) and verify that it is actually causing the problem.
This is important because beneficial insects are often mistaken for pests and sprayed with pesticides needlessly.
Consult with a Certified Nursery
Professional at a local nursery or garden center or send a sample of the pest to the Orange County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office.
Determine if the pest is still present – even though you see damage, the pest may have left.
Step 2: Determine how many pests are present and causing damage.
Small pest populations may be controlled more safely using non-pesticide techniques. These include removing food sources, washing off leaves with a strong stream of water, blocking entry into the home using caulking and replacing problem plants with ones less susceptible to pests.
Step 3: If a pesticide must be used, choose the least toxic chemical.
Obtain information on the least toxic pesticides that are effective at controlling the target pest from the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program’s Web site at www.ipm.ucdavis.edu.
Seek out the assistance of a Certified Nursery Professional at a local nursery or garden center when selecting a pesticide. Purchase the smallest amount of pesticide available.
Apply the pesticide to the pest during its most vulnerable life stage. This information can be found on the pesticide label.
Step 4: Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Follow pesticide labels regarding specific types of protective equipment you should wear. Protective clothing should always be washed separately from other clothing.
Step 5: Continuously monitor external conditions when applying pesticides such as weather, irrigation, and the presence of children and animals.
Never apply pesticides when rain is predicted within the next 48 hours. Also, do not water after applying pesticides unless the directions say it is necessary.
Apply pesticides when the air is still; breezy conditions may cause the spray or dust to drift away from your targeted area.
In case of an emergency call 911 and/or the regional poison control number at (714) 634-5988 or (800) 544-4404 (CA only).
For general questions you may also visit www.calpoison.org. Step 6: In the event of accidental spills, sweep up or use an absorbent agent to remove any excess pesticides. Avoid the use of water.
Be prepared. Have a broom, dust pan, or dry absorbent material, such as cat litter, newspapers or paper towels, ready to assist in cleaning up spills.
Contain and clean up the spill right away. Place contaminated materials in a doubled plastic bag. All materials used to clean up the spill should be properly disposed of according to your local Household Hazardous Waste Disposal site.
Step 7: Properly store and dispose of unused pesticides.
Purchase Ready-To-Use (RTU) products to avoid storing large concentrated quantities of pesticides.
Store unused chemicals in a locked cabinet.
Unused pesticide chemicals may be disposed of at a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center.
Empty pesticide containers should be triple rinsed prior to disposing of them in the trash.

Tips for Using Concrete
and MortarC lean beaches
and healthy creeks, rivers, bays,
and ocean are important to Orange County. However, many common activities can lead to water pollution if you’re not careful. Materials and excess concrete or mortar can be blown or washed into the storm drains that flow to the ocean.

Never allow materials or washwater to enter the street or storm drain.
Before the Project
•Schedule projects for dry weather.
•Store materials under cover, with temporary roofs or plastic sheets, to eliminate or reduce the possibility that the materials can be carried from the project site to streets, storm drains or adjacent properties via rainfall, runoff or wind.
•Minimize waste by ordering only the amount of materials needed to complete the job.
•Take measures to block nearby storm drain inlets.
During the Project
•Set up and operate small mixers on tarps or heavy drop cloths.
•Do not mix more fresh concrete or cement than is needed for the job.
•When breaking up pavement, pick up all chunks and pieces and recycle them at a local construction and demolition recycling company. (See information to the right)
•When making saw cuts in pavement, protect nearby storm drain inlets during the saw-cutting operation and contain the slurry. Collect the slurry residue from the pavement or gutter and remove from the site.
Clean-Up
•Dispose of small amounts of dry concrete, grout or mortar in the trash.
•Never hose materials from exposed aggregate concrete, asphalt or similar treatments into a street, gutter, parking lot, or storm drain.
•Wash concrete mixers and equipment in designated washout areas where the water can flow into a containment area or onto dirt. Small amounts of dried material can be disposed of in the trash. Large amounts
should be recycled at a local construction and demolition recycling company. (See information below)
•Recycle cement wash water by pumping it back into cement mixers for reuse.
Spills
•Never hose down pavement or impermeable surfaces where fluids have spilled. Use an absorbent material such as cat litter to soak up a spill, then sweep and dispose in the trash.
•Clean spills on dirt areas by digging up and properly disposing of contaminated dry soil in trash.
•Immediately report significant spills to the County’s 24-Hour Water Pollution Problem Reporting Hotline at
714-567-6363 or log onto the County’s website at www.ocwatersheds.com and fill out an incident reporting form.

Description Many activities that occur at an industrial or commercial site have the potential to cause accidental or illegal spills. Preparation for accidental or illegal spills, with proper training and reporting systems implemented, can minimize the discharge of pollutants to the environment.
Spills and leaks are one of the largest contributors of stormwater pollutants. Spill prevention and control plans are applicable to any site at which hazardous materials are stored or used. An effective plan should have spill prevention and response procedures that identify potential spill areas, specify material handling procedures, describe spill response procedures, and provide spill clean-up equipment. The plan should take steps to identify and characterize potential spills, eliminate and reduce spill potential, respond to spills when they occur in an effort to prevent pollutants from entering the stormwater drainage system, and train personnel to prevent and control future spills.
Approach Pollution Prevention
Develop procedures to prevent/mitigate spills to storm drain systems. Develop and standardize reporting procedures, containment, storage, and disposal activities, documentation, and follow-up procedures.
Develop a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. The plan should include:
Sediment Nutrients Trash Metals Bacteria Oil and Grease Organics

January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 9
SC-11 Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup
- Description of the facility, owner and address, activities and chemicals present
- Facility map
- Notification and evacuation procedures
- Cleanup instructions
- Identification of responsible departments
- Identify key spill response personnel
Recycle, reclaim, or reuse materials whenever possible. This will reduce the amount of process materials that are brought into the facility.
Suggested Protocols (including equipment needs) Spill Prevention
Develop procedures to prevent/mitigate spills to storm drain systems. Develop and standardize reporting procedures, containment, storage, and disposal activities, documentation, and follow-up procedures.
If consistent illegal dumping is observed at the facility:
- Post “No Dumping” signs with a phone number for reporting illegal dumping and disposal. Signs should also indicate fines and penalties applicable for illegal dumping.
- Landscaping and beautification efforts may also discourage illegal dumping.
- Bright lighting and/or entrance barriers may also be needed to discourage illegal dumping.
Store and contain liquid materials in such a manner that if the tank is ruptured, the contents will not discharge, flow, or be washed into the storm drainage system, surface waters, or groundwater.
If the liquid is oil, gas, or other material that separates from and floats on water, install a spill control device (such as a tee section) in the catch basins that collects runoff from the storage tank area.
Routine maintenance:
- Place drip pans or absorbent materials beneath all mounted taps, and at all potential drip and spill locations during filling and unloading of tanks. Any collected liquids or soiled absorbent materials must be reused/recycled or properly disposed.
- Store and maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location known to all near the tank storage area; and ensure that employees are familiar with the site’s spill control plan and/or proper spill cleanup procedures.
- Sweep and clean the storage area monthly if it is paved, do not hose down the area to a storm drain.
2 of 9 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 Industrial and Commercial Errata 4-06
www.cabmphandbooks.com
Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11
- Check tanks (and any containment sumps) daily for leaks and spills. Replace tanks that are leaking, corroded, or otherwise deteriorating with tanks in good condition. Collect all spilled liquids and properly dispose of them.
Label all containers according to their contents (e.g., solvent, gasoline).
Label hazardous substances regarding the potential hazard (corrosive, radioactive, flammable, explosive, poisonous).
Prominently display required labels on transported hazardous and toxic materials (per US DOT regulations).
Identify key spill response personnel.
Spill Control and Cleanup Activities Follow the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan.
Clean up leaks and spills immediately.
Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible (e.g., near storage and maintenance areas).
On paved surfaces, clean up spills with as little water as possible. Use a rag for small spills, a damp mop for general cleanup, and absorbent material for larger spills. If the spilled material is hazardous, then the used cleanup materials are also hazardous and must be sent to a certified laundry (rags) or disposed of as hazardous waste. Physical methods for the cleanup of dry chemicals include the use of brooms, shovels, sweepers, or plows.
Never hose down or bury dry material spills. Sweep up the material and dispose of properly.
Chemical cleanups of material can be achieved with the use of adsorbents, gels, and foams. Use adsorbent materials on small spills rather than hosing down the spill. Remove the adsorbent materials promptly and dispose of properly.
For larger spills, a private spill cleanup company or Hazmat team may be necessary.
Reporting Report spills that pose an immediate threat to human health or the environment to the
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Federal regulations require that any oil spill into a water body or onto an adjoining shoreline be reported to the National Response Center (NRC) at 800-424-8802 (24 hour).
Report spills to local agencies, such as the fire department; they can assist in cleanup.
Establish a system for tracking incidents. The system should be designed to identify the following:
- Types and quantities (in some cases) of wastes
- Patterns in time of occurrence (time of day/night, month, or year)
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 9 Errata 4-06 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-11 Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup
- Mode of dumping (abandoned containers, “midnight dumping” from moving vehicles, direct dumping of materials, accidents/spills)
- Responsible parties
Training Educate employees about spill prevention and cleanup.
Well-trained employees can reduce human errors that lead to accidental releases or spills:
- The employee should have the tools and knowledge to immediately begin cleaning up a spill should one occur.
- Employees should be familiar with the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan.
Employees should be educated about aboveground storage tank requirements. Employees responsible for aboveground storage tanks and liquid transfers should be thoroughly familiar with the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan and the plan should be readily available.
Train employees to recognize and report illegal dumping incidents.
Other Considerations (Limitations and Regulations) A Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) is required for facilities that are
subject to the oil pollution regulations specified in Part 112 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations or if they have a storage capacity of 10,000 gallons or more of petroleum. (Health and Safety Code 6.67)
State regulations also exist for storage of hazardous materials (Health & Safety Code Chapter 6.95), including the preparation of area and business plans for emergency response to the releases or threatened releases.
Consider requiring smaller secondary containment areas (less than 200 sq. ft.) to be connected to the sanitary sewer, prohibiting any hard connections to the storm drain.
Requirements Costs (including capital and operation & maintenance)
Will vary depending on the size of the facility and the necessary controls.
Prevention of leaks and spills is inexpensive. Treatment and/or disposal of contaminated soil or water can be quite expensive.
Maintenance (including administrative and staffing) This BMP has no major administrative or staffing requirements. However, extra time is
needed to properly handle and dispose of spills, which results in increased labor costs.

Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11
Supplemental Information Further Detail of the BMP Reporting Record keeping and internal reporting represent good operating practices because they can increase the efficiency of the facility and the effectiveness of BMPs. A good record keeping system helps the facility minimize incident recurrence, correctly respond with appropriate cleanup activities, and comply with legal requirements. A record keeping and reporting system should be set up for documenting spills, leaks, and other discharges, including discharges of hazardous substances in reportable quantities. Incident records describe the quality and quantity of non-stormwater discharges to the storm sewer. These records should contain the following information:
Date and time of the incident
Weather conditions
Duration of the spill/leak/discharge
Cause of the spill/leak/discharge
Response procedures implemented
Persons notified
Environmental problems associated with the spill/leak/discharge
Separate record keeping systems should be established to document housekeeping and preventive maintenance inspections, and training activities. All housekeeping and preventive maintenance inspections should be documented. Inspection documentation should contain the following information:
The date and time the inspection was performed
Name of the inspector
Items inspected
Problems noted
Corrective action required
Date corrective action was taken
Other means to document and record inspection results are field notes, timed and dated photographs, videotapes, and drawings and maps.
Aboveground Tank Leak and Spill Control Accidental releases of materials from aboveground liquid storage tanks present the potential for contaminating stormwater with many different pollutants. Materials spilled, leaked, or lost from
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 9 Errata 4-06 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-11 Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup
tanks may accumulate in soils or on impervious surfaces and be carried away by stormwater runoff.
The most common causes of unintentional releases are:
Installation problems
Failure of piping systems (pipes, pumps, flanges, couplings, hoses, and valves)
External corrosion and structural failure
Spills and overfills due to operator error
Leaks during pumping of liquids or gases from truck or rail car to a storage tank or vice versa
Storage of reactive, ignitable, or flammable liquids should comply with the Uniform Fire Code and the National Electric Code. Practices listed below should be employed to enhance the code requirements:
Tanks should be placed in a designated area.
Tanks located in areas where firearms are discharged should be encapsulated in concrete or the equivalent.
Designated areas should be impervious and paved with Portland cement concrete, free of cracks and gaps, in order to contain leaks and spills.
Liquid materials should be stored in UL approved double walled tanks or surrounded by a curb or dike to provide the volume to contain 10 percent of the volume of all of the containers or 110 percent of the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. The area inside the curb should slope to a drain.
For used oil or dangerous waste, a dead-end sump should be installed in the drain.
All other liquids should be drained to the sanitary sewer if available. The drain must have a positive control such as a lock, valve, or plug to prevent release of contaminated liquids.
Accumulated stormwater in petroleum storage areas should be passed through an oil/water separator.
Maintenance is critical to preventing leaks and spills. Conduct routine inspections and:
Check for external corrosion and structural failure.
Check for spills and overfills due to operator error.
Check for failure of piping system (pipes, pumps, flanger, coupling, hoses, and valves).
Check for leaks or spills during pumping of liquids or gases from truck or rail car to a storage facility or vice versa.
6 of 9 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 Industrial and Commercial Errata 4-06
www.cabmphandbooks.com
Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11
Visually inspect new tank or container installation for loose fittings, poor welding, and improper or poorly fitted gaskets.
Inspect tank foundations, connections, coatings, and tank walls and piping system. Look for corrosion, leaks, cracks, scratches, and other physical damage that may weaken the tank or container system.
Frequently relocate accumulated stormwater during the wet season.
Periodically conduct integrity testing by a qualified professional.
Vehicle Leak and Spill Control Major spills on roadways and other public areas are generally handled by highly trained Hazmat teams from local fire departments or environmental health departments. The measures listed below pertain to leaks and smaller spills at vehicle maintenance shops.
In addition to implementing the spill prevention, control, and clean up practices above, use the following measures related to specific activities:
Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Perform all vehicle fluid removal or changing inside or under cover to prevent the run-on of
stormwater and the runoff of spills.
Regularly inspect vehicles and equipment for leaks, and repair immediately.
Check incoming vehicles and equipment (including delivery trucks, and employee and subcontractor vehicles) for leaking oil and fluids. Do not allow leaking vehicles or equipment onsite.
Always use secondary containment, such as a drain pan or drop cloth, to catch spills or leaks when removing or changing fluids.
Immediately drain all fluids from wrecked vehicles.
Store wrecked vehicles or damaged equipment under cover.
Place drip pans or absorbent materials under heavy equipment when not in use.
Use adsorbent materials on small spills rather than hosing down the spill.
Remove the adsorbent materials promptly and dispose of properly.
Promptly transfer used fluids to the proper waste or recycling drums. Don’t leave full drip pans or other open containers lying around.
Oil filters disposed of in trashcans or dumpsters can leak oil and contaminate stormwater. Place the oil filter in a funnel over a waste oil recycling drum to drain excess oil before disposal. Oil filters can also be recycled. Ask your oil supplier or recycler about recycling oil filters.
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 7 of 9 Errata 4-06 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-11 Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup
Store cracked batteries in a non-leaking secondary container. Do this with all cracked batteries, even if you think all the acid has drained out. If you drop a battery, treat it as if it is cracked. Put it into the containment area until you are sure it is not leaking.
Vehicle and Equipment Fueling Design the fueling area to prevent the run-on of stormwater and the runoff of spills:
- Cover fueling area if possible.
- Use a perimeter drain or slope pavement inward with drainage to a sump.
- Pave fueling area with concrete rather than asphalt.
If dead-end sump is not used to collect spills, install an oil/water separator.
Install vapor recovery nozzles to help control drips as well as air pollution.
Discourage “topping-off’ of fuel tanks.
Use secondary containment when transferring fuel from the tank truck to the fuel tank.
Use adsorbent materials on small spills and general cleaning rather than hosing down the area. Remove the adsorbent materials promptly.
Carry out all Federal and State requirements regarding underground storage tanks, or install above ground tanks.
Do not use mobile fueling of mobile industrial equipment around the facility; rather, transport the equipment to designated fueling areas.
Keep your Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan up-to-date.
Train employees in proper fueling and cleanup procedures.
Industrial Spill Prevention Response For the purposes of developing a spill prevention and response program to meet the stormwater regulations, facility managers should use information provided in this fact sheet and the spill prevention/response portions of the fact sheets in this handbook, for specific activities. The program should:
Integrate with existing emergency response/hazardous materials programs (e.g., Fire Department)
Develop procedures to prevent/mitigate spills to storm drain systems
Identify responsible departments
Develop and standardize reporting procedures, containment, storage, and disposal activities, documentation, and follow-up procedures
Address spills at municipal facilities, as well as public areas

Sediment Nutrients Trash Metals Bacteria Oil and Grease Organics
Description Improper storage and handling of solid wastes can allow toxic compounds, oils and greases, heavy metals, nutrients, suspended solids, and other pollutants to enter stormwater runoff. The discharge of pollutants to stormwater from waste handling and disposal can be prevented and reduced by tracking waste generation, storage, and disposal; reducing waste generation and disposal through source reduction, reuse, and recycling; and preventing run-on and runoff.
Approach Pollution Prevention Accomplish reduction in the amount of waste generated
using the following source controls:
- Production planning and sequencing
- Process or equipment modification
- Raw material substitution or elimination
- Loss prevention and housekeeping
- Waste segregation and separation
- Close loop recycling
Establish a material tracking system to increase awareness about material usage. This may reduce spills and minimize contamination, thus reducing the amount of waste produced.
Recycle materials whenever possible.
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-34 Waste Handling & Disposal
Suggested Protocols General Cover storage containers with leak proof lids or some other means. If waste is not in
containers, cover all waste piles (plastic tarps are acceptable coverage) and prevent stormwater run-on and runoff with a berm. The waste containers or piles must be covered except when in use.
Use drip pans or absorbent materials whenever grease containers are emptied by vacuum trucks or other means. Grease cannot be left on the ground. Collected grease must be properly disposed of as garbage.
Check storage containers weekly for leaks and to ensure that lids are on tightly. Replace any that are leaking, corroded, or otherwise deteriorating.
Sweep and clean the storage area regularly. If it is paved, do not hose down the area to a storm drain.
Dispose of rinse and wash water from cleaning waste containers into a sanitary sewer if allowed by the local sewer authority. Do not discharge wash water to the street or storm drain.
Transfer waste from damaged containers into safe containers.
Take special care when loading or unloading wastes to minimize losses. Loading systems can be used to minimize spills and fugitive emission losses such as dust or mist. Vacuum transfer systems can minimize waste loss.
Controlling Litter Post “No Littering” signs and enforce anti-litter laws.
Provide a sufficient number of litter receptacles for the facility.
Clean out and cover litter receptacles frequently to prevent spillage.
Waste Collection Keep waste collection areas clean.
Inspect solid waste containers for structural damage regularly. Repair or replace damaged containers as necessary.
Secure solid waste containers; containers must be closed tightly when not in use.
Do not fill waste containers with washout water or any other liquid.
Ensure that only appropriate solid wastes are added to the solid waste container. Certain wastes such as hazardous wastes, appliances, fluorescent lamps, pesticides, etc., may not be disposed of in solid waste containers (see chemical/ hazardous waste collection section below).
2 of 5 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
Waste Handling & Disposal SC-34
Do not mix wastes; this can cause chemical reactions, make recycling impossible, and complicate disposal.
Good Housekeeping Use all of the product before disposing of the container.
Keep the waste management area clean at all times by sweeping and cleaning up spills immediately.
Use dry methods when possible (e.g., sweeping, use of absorbents) when cleaning around restaurant/food handling dumpster areas. If water must be used after sweeping/using absorbents, collect water and discharge through grease interceptor to the sewer.
Chemical/Hazardous Wastes Select designated hazardous waste collection areas on-site.
Store hazardous materials and wastes in covered containers and protect them from vandalism.
Place hazardous waste containers in secondary containment.
Make sure that hazardous waste is collected, removed, and disposed of only at authorized disposal areas.
Stencil or demarcate storm drains on the facility’s property with prohibitive message regarding waste disposal.
Run-on/Runoff Prevention Prevent stormwater run-on from entering the waste management area by enclosing the area
or building a berm around the area.
Prevent waste materials from directly contacting rain.
Cover waste piles with temporary covering material such as reinforced tarpaulin, polyethylene, polyurethane, polypropyleneor hypalon.
Cover the area with a permanent roof if feasible.
Cover dumpsters to prevent rain from washing waste out of holes or cracks in the bottom of the dumpster.
Move the activity indoor after ensuring all safety concerns such as fire hazard and ventilation are addressed.
Inspection Inspect and replace faulty pumps or hoses regularly to minimize the potential of releases and
spills.
Check waste management areas for leaking containers or spills.
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-34 Waste Handling & Disposal
Repair leaking equipment including valves, lines, seals, or pumps promptly.
Training Train staff in pollution prevention measures and proper disposal methods.
Train employees and contractors in proper spill containment and cleanup. The employee should have the tools and knowledge to immediately begin cleaning up a spill should one occur.
Train employees and subcontractors in proper hazardous waste management.
Spill Response and Prevention Keep your Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan up-to-date.
Have an emergency plan, equipment and trained personnel ready at all times to deal immediately with major spills
Collect all spilled liquids and properly dispose of them.
Store and maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location known to all near the designated wash area.
Ensure that vehicles transporting waste have spill prevention equipment that can prevent spills during transport. Spill prevention equipment includes:
- Vehicles equipped with baffles for liquid waste
- Trucks with sealed gates and spill guards for solid waste
Other Considerations (Limitations and Regulations) Hazardous waste cannot be reused or recycled; it must be disposed of by a licensed hazardous waste hauler.
Requirements Costs Capital and O&M costs for these programs will vary substantially depending on the size of the facility and the types of waste handled. Costs should be low if there is an inventory program in place.
Maintenance None except for maintaining equipment for material tracking program.
Supplemental Information Further Detail of the BMP Land Treatment System Minimize runoff of polluted stormwater from land application by:
Choosing a site where slopes are under 6%, the soil is permeable, there is a low water table, it is located away from wetlands or marshes, and there is a closed drainage system

Waste Handling & Disposal SC-34
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
Avoiding application of waste to the site when it is raining or when the ground is saturated with water
Growing vegetation on land disposal areas to stabilize soils and reduce the volume of surface water runoff from the site
Maintaining adequate barriers between the land application site and the receiving waters (planted strips are particularly good)
Using erosion control techniques such as mulching and matting, filter fences, straw bales, diversion terracing, and sediment basins
Performing routine maintenance to ensure the erosion control or site stabilization measures are working
Examples The port of Long Beach has a state-of-the-art database for identifying potential pollutant sources, documenting facility management practices, and tracking pollutants.

Description Stormwater runoff from building and grounds maintenance activities can be contaminated with toxic hydrocarbons in solvents, fertilizers and pesticides, suspended solids, heavy metals, abnormal pH, and oils and greases. Utilizing the protocols in this fact sheet will prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater from building and grounds maintenance activities by washing and cleaning up with as little water as possible, following good landscape management practices, preventing and cleaning up spills immediately, keeping debris from entering the storm drains, and maintaining the stormwater collection system.
Approach Reduce potential for pollutant discharge through source control pollution prevention and BMP implementation. Successful implementation depends on effective training of employees on applicable BMPs and general pollution prevention strategies and objectives.
Pollution Prevention Switch to non-toxic chemicals for maintenance when
possible.
Choose cleaning agents that can be recycled.
Encourage proper lawn management and landscaping, including use of native vegetation.
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-41 Building & Grounds Maintenance
Encourage use of Integrated Pest Management techniques for pest control.
Encourage proper onsite recycling of yard trimmings.
Recycle residual paints, solvents, lumber, and other material as much as possible.
Suggested Protocols Pressure Washing of Buildings, Rooftops, and Other Large Objects In situations where soaps or detergents are used and the surrounding area is paved, pressure
washers must use a water collection device that enables collection of wash water and associated solids. A sump pump, wet vacuum or similarly effective device must be used to collect the runoff and loose materials. The collected runoff and solids must be disposed of properly.
If soaps or detergents are not used, and the surrounding area is paved, wash runoff does not have to be collected but must be screened. Pressure washers must use filter fabric or some other type of screen on the ground and/or in the catch basin to trap the particles in wash water runoff.
If you are pressure washing on a grassed area (with or without soap), runoff must be dispersed as sheet flow as much as possible, rather than as a concentrated stream. The wash runoff must remain on the grass and not drain to pavement.
Landscaping Activities Dispose of grass clippings, leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation as garbage, or by
composting. Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or storm drainage systems.
Use mulch or other erosion control measures on exposed soils.
Building Repair, Remodeling, and Construction Do not dump any toxic substance or liquid waste on the pavement, the ground, or toward a
storm drain.
Use ground or drop cloths underneath outdoor painting, scraping, and sandblasting work, and properly dispose of collected material daily.
Use a ground cloth or oversized tub for activities such as paint mixing and tool cleaning.
Clean paintbrushes and tools covered with water-based paints in sinks connected to sanitary sewers or in portable containers that can be dumped into a sanitary sewer drain. Brushes and tools covered with non-water-based paints, finishes, or other materials must be cleaned in a manner that enables collection of used solvents (e.g., paint thinner, turpentine, etc.) for recycling or proper disposal.
Use a storm drain cover, filter fabric, or similarly effective runoff control mechanism if dust, grit, wash water, or other pollutants may escape the work area and enter a catch basin. This is particularly necessary on rainy days. The containment device(s) must be in place at the beginning of the work day, and accumulated dirty runoff and solids must be collected and disposed of before removing the containment device(s) at the end of the work day.

Building & Grounds Maintenance SC-41
If you need to de-water an excavation site, you may need to filter the water before discharging to a catch basin or off-site. If directed off-site, you should direct the water through hay bales and filter fabric or use other sediment filters or traps.
Store toxic material under cover during precipitation events and when not in use. A cover would include tarps or other temporary cover material.
Mowing, Trimming, and Planting Dispose of leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation as garbage, by composting or at a
permitted landfill. Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or storm drainage systems.
Use mulch or other erosion control measures when soils are exposed.
Place temporarily stockpiled material away from watercourses and drain inlets, and berm or cover stockpiles to prevent material releases to the storm drain system.
Consider an alternative approach when bailing out muddy water: do not put it in the storm drain; pour over landscaped areas.
Use hand weeding where practical.
Fertilizer and Pesticide Management Follow all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, and
disposal of fertilizers and pesticides and training of applicators and pest control advisors.
Use less toxic pesticides that will do the job when applicable. Avoid use of copper-based pesticides if possible.
Do not use pesticides if rain is expected.
Do not mix or prepare pesticides for application near storm drains.
Use the minimum amount needed for the job.
Calibrate fertilizer distributors to avoid excessive application.
Employ techniques to minimize off-target application (e.g., spray drift) of pesticides, including consideration of alternative application techniques.
Apply pesticides only when wind speeds are low.
Fertilizers should be worked into the soil rather than dumped or broadcast onto the surface.
Irrigate slowly to prevent runoff and then only as much as is needed.
Clean pavement and sidewalk if fertilizer is spilled on these surfaces before applying irrigation water.
Dispose of empty pesticide containers according to the instructions on the container label.
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-41 Building & Grounds Maintenance
Use up the pesticides. Rinse containers, and use rinse water as product. Dispose of unused pesticide as hazardous waste.
Implement storage requirements for pesticide products with guidance from the local fire department and County Agricultural Commissioner. Provide secondary containment for pesticides.
Inspection Inspect irrigation system periodically to ensure that the right amount of water is being
applied and that excessive runoff is not occurring. Minimize excess watering and repair leaks in the irrigation system as soon as they are observed.
Training Educate and train employees on pesticide use and in pesticide application techniques to
prevent pollution.
Train employees and contractors in proper techniques for spill containment and cleanup.
Be sure the frequency of training takes into account the complexity of the operations and the nature of the staff.
Spill Response and Prevention Keep your Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan up-to-date.
Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials, such as brooms, dustpans, and vacuum sweepers (if desired) near the storage area where it will be readily accessible.
Have employees trained in spill containment and cleanup present during the loading/unloading of dangerous wastes, liquid chemicals, or other materials.
Familiarize employees with the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan.
Clean up spills immediately.
Other Considerations Alternative pest/weed controls may not be available, suitable, or effective in many cases.
Requirements Costs Cost will vary depending on the type and size of facility.
Overall costs should be low in comparison to other BMPs.
Maintenance Sweep paved areas regularly to collect loose particles. Wipe up spills with rags and other absorbent material immediately, do not hose down the area to a storm drain.

Supplemental Information Further Detail of the BMP Fire Sprinkler Line Flushing Building fire sprinkler line flushing may be a source of non-stormwater runoff pollution. The water entering the system is usually potable water, though in some areas it may be non-potable reclaimed wastewater. There are subsequent factors that may drastically reduce the quality of the water in such systems. Black iron pipe is usually used since it is cheaper than potable piping, but it is subject to rusting and results in lower quality water. Initially, the black iron pipe has an oil coating to protect it from rusting between manufacture and installation; this will contaminate the water from the first flush but not from subsequent flushes. Nitrates, poly-phosphates and other corrosion inhibitors, as well as fire suppressants and antifreeze may be added to the sprinkler water system. Water generally remains in the sprinkler system a long time (typically a year) and between flushes may accumulate iron, manganese, lead, copper, nickel, and zinc. The water generally becomes anoxic and contains living and dead bacteria and breakdown products from chlorination. This may result in a significant BOD problem and the water often smells. Consequently dispose fire sprinkler line flush water into the sanitary sewer. Do not allow discharge to storm drain or infiltration due to potential high levels of pollutants in fire sprinkler line water.

DescriptionAs a consequence of its function, the stormwater conveyancesystem collects and transports urban runoff and stormwater thatmay contain certain pollutants. The protocols in this fact sheetare intended to reduce pollutants reaching receiving watersthrough proper conveyance system operation and maintenance.
ApproachPollution PreventionMaintain catch basins, stormwater inlets, and other stormwaterconveyance structures on a regular basis to remove pollutants,reduce high pollutant concentrations during the first flush ofstorms, prevent clogging of the downstream conveyance system,restore catch basins’ sediment trapping capacity, and ensure thesystem functions properly hydraulically to avoid flooding.
Suggested ProtocolsCatch Basins/Inlet Structures
Staff should regularly inspect facilities to ensure compliancewith the following:
- Immediate repair of any deterioration threateningstructural integrity.
- Cleaning before the sump is 40% full. Catch basinsshould be cleaned as frequently as needed to meet thisstandard.
- Stenciling of catch basins and inlets (see SC34 WasteHandling and Disposal).
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-44 Drainage System Maintenance
Clean catch basins, storm drain inlets, and other conveyance structures before the wetseason to remove sediments and debris accumulated during the summer.
Conduct inspections more frequently during the wet season for problem areas wheresediment or trash accumulates more often. Clean and repair as needed.
Keep accurate logs of the number of catch basins cleaned.
Store wastes collected from cleaning activities of the drainage system in appropriatecontainers or temporary storage sites in a manner that prevents discharge to the stormdrain.
Dewater the wastes if necessary with outflow into the sanitary sewer if permitted. Watershould be treated with an appropriate filtering device prior to discharge to the sanitarysewer. If discharge to the sanitary sewer is not allowed, water should be pumped orvacuumed to a tank and properly disposed. Do not dewater near a storm drain or stream.
Storm Drain Conveyance SystemLocate reaches of storm drain with deposit problems and develop a flushing schedule thatkeeps the pipe clear of excessive buildup.
Collect and pump flushed effluent to the sanitary sewer for treatment whenever possible.
Pump StationsClean all storm drain pump stations prior to the wet season to remove silt and trash.
Do not allow discharge to reach the storm drain system when cleaning a storm drain pumpstation or other facility.
Conduct routine maintenance at each pump station.
Inspect, clean, and repair as necessary all outlet structures prior to the wet season.
Open ChannelModify storm channel characteristics to improve channel hydraulics, increase pollutantremovals, and enhance channel/creek aesthetic and habitat value.
Conduct channel modification/improvement in accordance with existing laws. Any person,government agency, or public utility proposing an activity that will change the natural(emphasis added) state of any river, stream, or lake in California, must enter into a Steam orLake Alteration Agreement with the Department of Fish and Game. The developer-applicantshould also contact local governments (city, county, special districts), other state agencies(SWRCB, RWQCB, Department of Forestry, Department of Water Resources), and FederalCorps of Engineers and USFWS.
Illicit Connections and DischargesLook for evidence of illegal discharges or illicit connections during routine maintenance ofconveyance system and drainage structures:
- Is there evidence of spills such as paints, discoloring, etc?
2 of 6 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
Drainage System Maintenance SC-44
- Are there any odors associated with the drainage system?
- Record locations of apparent illegal discharges/illicit connections?
- Track flows back to potential dischargers and conduct aboveground inspections. Thiscan be done through visual inspection of upgradient manholes or alternate techniquesincluding zinc chloride smoke testing, fluorometric dye testing, physical inspectiontesting, or television camera inspection.
- Eliminate the discharge once the origin of flow is established.
Stencil or demarcate storm drains, where applicable, to prevent illegal disposal of pollutants.Storm drain inlets should have messages such as “Dump No Waste Drains to Stream”stenciled next to them to warn against ignorant or intentional dumping of pollutants into thestorm drainage system.
Refer to fact sheet SC-10 Non-Stormwater Discharges.
Illegal DumpingInspect and clean up hot spots and other storm drainage areas regularly where illegaldumping and disposal occurs.
Establish a system for tracking incidents. The system should be designed to identify thefollowing:
- Illegal dumping hot spots
- Types and quantities (in some cases) of wastes
- Patterns in time of occurrence (time of day/night, month, or year)
- Mode of dumping (abandoned containers, “midnight dumping” from moving vehicles,direct dumping of materials, accidents/spills)
- Responsible parties
Post “No Dumping” signs in problem areas with a phone number for reporting dumping anddisposal. Signs should also indicate fines and penalties for illegal dumping.
Refer to fact sheet SC-10 Non-Stormwater Discharges.
TrainingTrain crews in proper maintenance activities, including record keeping and disposal.
Allow only properly trained individuals to handle hazardous materials/wastes.
Have staff involved in detection and removal of illicit connections trained in the following:
- OSHA-required Health and Safety Training (29 CFR 1910.120) plus annual refreshertraining (as needed).
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.cabmphandbooks.com
SC-44 Drainage System Maintenance
- OSHA Confined Space Entry training (Cal-OSHA Confined Space, Title 8 and FederalOSHA 29 CFR 1910.146).
- Procedural training (field screening, sampling, smoke/dye testing, TV inspection).
Spill Response and PreventionInvestigate all reports of spills, leaks, and/or illegal dumping promptly.
Clean up all spills and leaks using “dry” methods (with absorbent materials and/or rags) ordig up, remove, and properly dispose of contaminated soil.
Refer to fact sheet SC-11 Spill Prevention, Control, and Cleanup.
Other Considerations (Limitations and Regulations)Clean-up activities may create a slight disturbance for local aquatic species. Access to itemsand material on private property may be limited. Trade-offs may exist between channelhydraulics and water quality/riparian habitat. If storm channels or basins are recognized aswetlands, many activities, including maintenance, may be subject to regulation andpermitting.
Storm drain flushing is most effective in small diameter pipes (36-inch diameter pipe or less,depending on water supply and sediment collection capacity). Other considerationsassociated with storm drain flushing may include the availability of a water source, finding adownstream area to collect sediments, liquid/sediment disposal, and prohibition againstdisposal of flushed effluent to sanitary sewer in some areas.
Regulations may include adoption of substantial penalties for illegal dumping and disposal.
Local municipal codes may include sections prohibiting discharge of soil, debris, refuse,hazardous wastes, and other pollutants into the storm drain system.
RequirementsCosts
An aggressive catch basin cleaning program could require a significant capital and O&Mbudget.
The elimination of illegal dumping is dependent on the availability, convenience, and cost ofalternative means of disposal. The primary cost is for staff time. Cost depends on howaggressively a program is implemented. Other cost considerations for an illegal dumpingprogram include:
- Purchase and installation of signs.
- Rental of vehicle(s) to haul illegally-disposed items and material to landfills.
- Rental of heavy equipment to remove larger items (e.g., car bodies) from channels.
- Purchase of landfill space to dispose of illegally-dumped items and material.

Drainage System Maintenance SC-44
Methods used for illicit connection detection (smoke testing, dye testing, visual inspection,and flow monitoring) can be costly and time-consuming. Site-specific factors, such as thelevel of impervious area, the density and ages of buildings, and type of land use willdetermine the level of investigation necessary.
MaintenanceTwo-person teams may be required to clean catch basins with vactor trucks.
Teams of at least two people plus administrative personnel are required to identify illicitdischarges, depending on the complexity of the storm sewer system.
Arrangements must be made for proper disposal of collected wastes.
Technical staff are required to detect and investigate illegal dumping violations.
Supplemental InformationFurther Detail of the BMPStorm Drain FlushingFlushing is a common maintenance activity used to improve pipe hydraulics and to removepollutants in storm drainage systems. Flushing may be designed to hydraulically conveyaccumulated material to strategic locations, such as an open channel, another point whereflushing will be initiated, or the sanitary sewer and the treatment facilities, thus preventingresuspension and overflow of a portion of the solids during storm events. Flushing prevents“plug flow” discharges of concentrated pollutant loadings and sediments. Deposits can hinderthe designed conveyance capacity of the storm drain system and potentially cause backwaterconditions in severe cases of clogging.
Storm drain flushing usually takes place along segments of pipe with grades that are too flat tomaintain adequate velocity to keep particles in suspension. An upstream manhole is selected toplace an inflatable device that temporarily plugs the pipe. Further upstream, water is pumpedinto the line to create a flushing wave. When the upstream reach of pipe is sufficiently full tocause a flushing wave, the inflated device is rapidly deflated with the assistance of a vacuumpump, thereby releasing the backed up water and resulting in the cleaning of the storm drainsegment.
To further reduce impacts of stormwater pollution, a second inflatable device placed welldownstream may be used to recollect the water after the force of the flushing wave hasdissipated. A pump may then be used to transfer the water and accumulated material to thesanitary sewer for treatment. In some cases, an interceptor structure may be more practical orrequired to recollect the flushed waters.
It has been found that cleansing efficiency of periodic flush waves is dependent upon flushvolume, flush discharge rate, sewer slope, sewer length, sewer flow rate, sewer diameter, andpopulation density. As a rule of thumb, the length of line to be flushed should not exceed 700feet. At this maximum recommended length, the percent removal efficiency ranges between 65-75% for organics and 55-65% for dry weather grit/inorganic material. The percent removalefficiency drops rapidly beyond that. Water is commonly supplied by a water truck, but firehydrants can also supply water. To make the best use of water, it is recommended thatreclaimed water be used or that fire hydrant line flushing coincide with storm sewer flushing.

Efficient Irrigation SD-12
January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 2 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com
Description Irrigation water provided to landscaped areas may result in excess irrigation water being conveyed into stormwater drainage systems.
Approach Project plan designs for development and redevelopment should include application methods of irrigation water that minimize runoff of excess irrigation water into the stormwater conveyance system.
Suitable Applications Appropriate applications include residential, commercial and industrial areas planned for development or redevelopment. (Detached residential single-family homes are typically excluded from this requirement.)
Design Considerations Designing New Installations The following methods to reduce excessive irrigation runoff should be considered, and incorporated and implemented where determined applicable and feasible by the Permittee:
Employ rain-triggered shutoff devices to prevent irrigation after precipitation.
Design irrigation systems to each landscape area’s specific water requirements.
Include design featuring flow reducers or shutoff valves triggered by a pressure drop to control water loss in the event of broken sprinkler heads or lines.
Implement landscape plans consistent with County or City water conservation resolutions, which may include provision of water sensors, programmable irrigation times (for short cycles), etc.
Design Objectives
Maximize Infiltration
Provide Retention
Slow Runoff
Minimize Impervious Land Coverage
Prohibit Dumping of Improper Materials

SD-12 Efficient Irrigation
2 of 2 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com
Design timing and application methods of irrigation water to minimize the runoff of excess irrigation water into the storm water drainage system.
Group plants with similar water requirements in order to reduce excess irrigation runoff and promote surface filtration. Choose plants with low irrigation requirements (for example, native or drought tolerant species). Consider design features such as:
- Using mulches (such as wood chips or bar) in planter areas without ground cover to minimize sediment in runoff
- Installing appropriate plant materials for the location, in accordance with amount of sunlight and climate, and use native plant materials where possible and/or as recommended by the landscape architect
- Leaving a vegetative barrier along the property boundary and interior watercourses, to act as a pollutant filter, where appropriate and feasible
- Choosing plants that minimize or eliminate the use of fertilizer or pesticides to sustain growth
Employ other comparable, equally effective methods to reduce irrigation water runoff.
Redeveloping Existing Installations Various jurisdictional stormwater management and mitigation plans (SUSMP, WQMP, etc.) define “redevelopment” in terms of amounts of additional impervious area, increases in gross floor area and/or exterior construction, and land disturbing activities with structural or impervious surfaces. The definition of “ redevelopment” must be consulted to determine whether or not the requirements for new development apply to areas intended for redevelopment. If the definition applies, the steps outlined under “designing new installations” above should be followed.
