-Peters. Canyon· Study
March 30, l979
Enclosed is our report of the Peters Canyon Study, which has been prepared in accor-
dance with our proposal dafed November 6, 1979·., The land~~se plans and other
information used in projecting sewage flows wer~ obtained from The Irvine Compa~y,
. .
The primary obfective of this study was fo identify those portions of the district's trunk
sewer· system that indicate surplus capacity based on present district service commit-!
menfs and then develop, on a conceptual basis, the additional trunk sewer facilities
req"1ired to extend the district's servfce area to include the Peters Cc:iyon study area.
We should caution that while tne in.formation presented in this report rel.ative to the
additi.onaf .. (aciliti8$ required can be used as a guideline in the development of the
district•·s strategy,. further study wiff be required for final facility design. Also,
since fhe st~dy plans are conceptual and have not been approved· by any regulatory
agency, it is probabl.e that final pf ans for development of the study area will differ
· somewhat from the conceptual" plans. Unless the differences are. great, the impact
OB t~e findings of this cep·ort should not be too significant.
Should the Board of Directors or any of the staff wish to.review this report in detail
with os, we ofe available at your convenience. ·

I INTRODUCTION
The IrVine Company is considering development of the Peters Canyon
area. consisting of the area north of the· Santa Ana Freeway between
Browning Avenue and Myford Road and extending up through Peters
Canyon to the area north and northea.st of Peters Canyon Reservoir.
Also, they are considering further development of the Tustin Indus-
trial Complex to the east betw.een the Santa Ana Freeway and Moulton
Parkway. The Irvine Company staff has made inquiries to County
Sanitation District (CSD) staff on the possibility of sewering all or part
of the proposed developments through the CSD No. 7 system •
. Approximately 4-, 100 acres are involved ~n planning studies for the . .
proposed developments which are delineated on various planning study
m_aps prepared by The Irvine Company. Ab~ut 700 acres north of
Peters Canyon Reservior are already within the district's Master Plan
service ·area. However. The Irvine Company is proposing some land-..
use changes within this a~ea to those shown in the Master Plan. The
. ..
study area and properties involved are shown in Figure 1 at the back
, of this report.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this study is (a) to analyze the proposed Irvine develop-
ments for wastewater flow and determine what, if any,, accommodations
can be made for sewering through the existing CSD No. 7 system; and
(b) to develop a preliminary layout and prepare construction cost esti-
mates for Peters Canyon Trunk and alternative connecting trunks to
the existing system. Areas currently within and adjacent to the dis-
trict which drain by gravity into Peters Canyon are also included in the
study.
The following items are included in the study:
2.
Review of the Sunflower Avenue,, Gisler Avenue,, Red Hill A venue,,
Tustin-Orange, North and Lemon Heights trunk systems to deter-
mine excess capacity. Excess capacity is defined as that amount
of conveyance capability in any of the trunk systems flowing at a
depth-to-diameter ratio of 0 .92 (maximum capacity} after all
service commitments presently included within the district Master
Plan have been exercised or reserved •
Calculation and tabulation of flows for proposed Irvine Company
developments as shown on Peters Canyon schematic land-use
plan and for the East Tustin Industrial Complex as shown on the
Village Ten Study -Conceptual Plan A,, which have been furnished
to the district., Land use for property north of Santa Ana Freeway
up to Irvine Boulevard was furnished by The Irvine Company and
the city of Tustin. Tabling includes distinctions between Peters
Canyon and Handy Creek drainage basins. Also,, comparisons are
made between·Master Plan land uses and proposed land use nows •

area which drains into Peters Canyon Wash and Santiago Creek
is the determining factor of the easterly boundary, while the
natural topographic area which drains into Handy Creek and San-
tiago Creek is the determining factor of the northerly boundary.
Analysis· of the existing ~SD No. 7 trunk syste·m to receive
projected flows from the study areas •
Layout of Peters Canyon Trunk and investigation of alternative
connecting trunks to the existing system. Connecting alterna-
tives ·considered included trunks along Irvine Boulevard, Santa

III SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The following is a summary of significant conclusions and facilities pro-
posed in the study:
The total additional projected flow from all new development areas
in Peters Canyon and below Irvine Boulevard, and from those areas
currently served by pumping· stations, is 8. 6 cfs (5. 6 mgd). Total
study area is approximately 4, 100 acres. The flow consists of
1. 5 cfs (1. 0 mgd) from the upper Peters Canyon development area
(520 additional acres) which drains north into Handy Creek, and
7 .1 cfs (4.6 mgd) generated from the southerly draining lower
Peters Canyon development area, which consists of 1,400 acres
below Peters Canyon Reservoir, 575 acres on the backside of
Lemon Heights and Cowan Heights currently served by pumping
stations and septic tanks, additional development of 890 acres south
of Irvine Boulevard, and the proposed elimination of the Navy Way
a~d Dow Avenue pumping stations.
2. The projected flow from the upper Peters Canyon development area
which would flow north and enter the Tustin-Orange Trunk by way
of Handy Creek can be handled by the existing trunk system with the
addition of a 1, 100-foot length of 12-inch-diameter parallel trunk
along Orange Park Boulevard (Reach 18) of the Tustin-Orange
Trunk. This trunk would provide additional capacity along the only
reach of the existing trunk system which does not have sufficient
available excess capacity to handle the flow.
3. There is !!2!_ sufficient excess capacity in the existing trunk system
for the combined flow from both the northerly draining upper Peters
III-1
...
Canyon area and southerly draining areas of the study. The pro-
posed Peters Canyon Trunk-would convey flows from the southerly
draining lowe~ Peters Ca(lyon.area and areas south of Irvine
. -·
Boulevard •
In addition to the parallel trunk described in Item 2 above for th~
upper Peters Canyon flow, the following facilities are required to
provide additional capacity along those r~aches of the existing sys-
tem that do not have sufficient available excess capacity to handle
the combined flow:
4,200 feet·of 33-inch pipe along Red Hill Avenue which will
parallel the existing Red Hill Avenue Trunk-f~om Reynolds
Avenue to Main Street.
7 ,300 feet·of 39-inch pipe along. Sunflower Avenue ~hich will
parallel the existing Sunflower Avenue Trunk from Main
Street to Bear Street.
Lift station at Raitt Street and Alton Avenue to divert flow
from the Raitt Street Trunk into the Santa Ana Trunk
(CSD No. 1). This would create sufficient capac~ty in the
downstream reach of the Sunflower Avenue Trunk where there
is presently not sufficient excess capacity. The lift station
would divert an average flow of 5 .6· cfs through a lift of
7 to 8 feet. .·
4. The proposed route of the Peters Canyon Trunk follows Peters
Canyon south to Irvine Boulevard, then follows Myford Road
through the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) (Helicopter) -Tustin
via the proposed Jamboree Road/Myford Road extension to McGaw
Avenue. The trunk extends west along McGaw Avenue and connects
III-2
. ..,
. .,.,
1
t ....
to the larger 54-inch Red Hill Trunk to avoid pumping of any of the
fiows by the proposed Master Planned South Irvine Lift Station.
Total length of the Peters Canyon Trunk is 52, 000 feet or about
9. 9 miles. The trunk size varies from 8-to 3 6-inch-diameter pipe •
5. Construction cost for the Peters Canyon Trunk is estimated to be
$3, 498, 000. Construction cost for elimination of existing p~mping
stations is $542, 000. Construction cost for the parallel trunks and
lift station to provide necessary additional capacity in the existing
trunk system is $1, 549, 000. The total estimated cost, including an
allowance of 25 percent for engineering, surveying, inspection,
legal, administrative, and contingencies, of all the proposed
facilities, is $6,986,000.

IV EXISTING TRUNK SYSTEM--DETERMINATION OF EXCESS
CAPACITY
The district's existing sewage collection system naturally flows south-
erly and westerly toward the joint districts' existing treatment plant
No. 1, located at the intersection of Ellis Avenue and Buclid Street.
Certain sections of Cowan Heights and Lemon Heights are located along
the backside of the district and. drain easterly into Peters Canyon.
These areas are currently served by nine small pumping stations.
The existing trunk system is shown in Figure 1, at the back of this
report.
All major trunks· within the district's system were analyzed for excess
capacity. Excess capacity is defined as that amount of conveyance
capability in any trunk system flowing at a depth-to-diameter ratio of
0.92 (maximum hydraulic capacity) after all service commitments
presently included within the Master Plan have been exercised or
reserved~
Master Plan flows are those flows considered to be the projected flows
from the various drainage areas as outlined in the district Master Plan
fo~ Trunk Sewer Facilities, May, 1969. Since the Master Plan was
written, several of the flows have been updated ~o reflect new revised
land uses. The latest flows were considered in this study.
In determining excess capacity along a r.each of sewer trunk, both
average flow and peak flow must be consi.dered. The relationship be-
tween average flow and peak flow for distri~t flows was developed in
the Master Plan and is as follows:
0.92
Q peak = 1.84 (Q ave~age)
IV-1
, ....
....
: 'Cltf
:\:cl
.....
The excess capacity of a given reach of trunk must actually be deter-
mined in terms of average fiow. This is because the peak flow is the
peak of the combined average nows after they reach the trunk.
This is illustrated as follows:
L Q 1 (average) L Q2 (average)
Qcap (peak) Qexcess
= peak capacity of sewer trunk
= average Master Plan incoming nows
Qexcess = excess average fiow capacity' in sewer trunk
Setting the peak capacity of the trunk equal to the peak of the combined
average flows or Qcap = 1.84 (Q 1 + Q 2 + Qexcess>0 •92
. . (Qcap) 1.09 Rearranging. Ql + Q2 + Qexcess = -
. 1.84
(
Qcap) 1.09 Where is actually the average capacity of the trunk or
1.84
Qaverage cap.
Then Ql + Q2 + Qexcess = Qaverage cap
Or Qexcess = Qaverage cap. -Ql -Q2•
Thus. the exc.tess capacity of the trunk. Qexcess• must be expressed
in terms of average flows.
Knowing the Master Plan flows and the hydraulic capacity of the sewer
trunk. the excess flow capacity of each major trunk in the district
IV-2
system was determined by reaches •. Manning's equation using.an "n"
value of 0 .013; flowing at a depth-to-diameter ratio of 0 .92, was used -
to determine hydraulic capacity.
Sewer pipe is built in 3-inch incremental pipe diameters. As the pipe
dian}.eter increases and as the slope (grade) of the pipe increases, the·
hydraulic capacity of the pipe increases, and thus the potential for
excess capacity in the pipe increases. Ar:, shown earlie.r, the excess
capacity in a sewer trunk depends on the hydraulic capacity of the
pipe and the incoming Master Plan wastewater flows.
The excess capacity for each trunk analyzed varies along the trunk as
the hydraulic capacity and the Master Plan flows vary along the trunk.
In determining excess capacity for a singl~ trunk, the reach with the
minimum excess capacity and of substantial trunk len~h (usually at
least 1, 000 feet) was used as a measure of the excess capacity of the
entire trunk.
IV-3
. .
-
The analysis for excess capacity shows that the Tustin-Orange Trunk
has about 1.2-cfs (0.8-mgd) excess capacity.along the entire trunk.
No excess capacity exists in the North Trunk and Lemon Heights
Trunk. The combined Red Hill Avenue Trunks have excess capacity
along the the entire trunk length varying from 1. 0 to 14 .1 cfs
(0 .6 to 6 .6 mgd). The Sunflower Avenue Trunk has an excess capacity
. .
of 2. 5 cfs ( 1 • 6 mgd) in the downstream reach, and a deficiency of
2. 3 cfs ( 1. 5 mgd) in the upstream reach. This deficiency is due pri-
marily to the addition of the area tributary to the Dow Street pumping
station to the district's system subsequent to the Master Plan and con-
struction of this reach. The Gisler Avenue Trunk has about 3. 5-cfs
(2. 3-mgd) ·excess capacity in the upstream reach only. It· was also
necessary to analyze the Santa Ana Trunk; located i~ District No. 1,.
. .
for excess capacity. This trunk has excess capacity varying from
4.3 to 9.0 cfs (2.8 to 5.8 mgd) in the downstream reach·and very little.
or no excess capacity in the upstream reach. Determination of excess
capacity in this trunk is b'ased on flows developed for the CSD No. 1
Master Plan, 1965. The Santa Ana Trunk will b~ discussed further
in following sections.

v PROJECTED FLOWS FROM PETERS CANYON DEVELOPMENT
AREAS AND OTHER AREAS SOUTH OF IRVINE BOULEY ARD
The overall study area from which additional future wastewater nows
are projected is shown in Figure 1. This consists of the Peters Can-
yon area extending from north of Peters Canyon Reservoir south to
Irvine Boulevard; the proposed residential area between Santa Ana
Freeway and Irvine Boulevard; the East Tustin Industrial Complex be-
tween Moulton Parkway and Santa Ana Freeway; and the backside areas .
of Lemon Heights and Cowan Heights which drain easterly into Peters
Canyon.
To determine wastewater flows. flow coefficients developed for the
district in the Master Plan (1969) are used. These coefficients were
based upon field investigations and flow monitoring and are summarized
in Table V-1.
A. Peters Canyon Study Area
The Irvine Company has developed land-use plans for the Peters
Canyon area. This development area extends from above Peters
Canyon Reservoir. south to Irvine Boulevard. and from the exist-
ing district boundary on the west to approximately a northerly
extension of Myford Road on the east. The total area comprises
about 2. 600 acres. This area is divided into the upper area gen-
erally north of Peters Canyon Reservoir which drains northerly to.
Handy Creek. and the lower area south of Peters Canyon Reservoir
which drains south into Peters Canyon. as shown in Figure 1 •

Table V-2 lists the nows for the upper Peters Canyon area
which drains north to Handy Creek, determined from The Irvine
Company's proposed land-use plan. Total acreage for this area
is about 1, 232 acres. About 700 acres of this area is within the
district planning area boundaries and is included in the Master
Plan (Drainage Area S-5) • Table V-2 shows the comparison
between The Irvine Company and Master Plan projected flows.
A total flow of 3. 7 cfs (2 .4 mgd) is projected from The Irvine
Company's proposed land use while the Master Plan projects a
flow of 2 • 2 cfs ( 1 • 4 mgd) , resulting in an additional flow of
1.5 cfs (1.0 mgd) to the district's system •

Backside Areas of Lemon Heights and Cowan Heights
Also dr~ining into Peters Canyon are approximately 574 acres of
low-density hillside residential area lying along the backside of
the Lemon Heights and Cowan Heights areas. which naturally drain
east into Pet~rs Canyon. Approximately 201 acres presently in the
district are served by nine small pumping stations which pump
wastewater back over into the district trunk sy~tem. and 374 acres
are either undeveloped or are on individual septic ta:nk systems.
The economical feasibility of connecting these areas to the pro-. .
posed Peters Canyon Trunk is discussed in Section VII~ Total
average flow from these areas is determined to be 0. 57 cfs and
is listed ip Table V -4 •

c. Possible Inclusion in Study Area of Area East of Irvine Company
Developments and West of Santiago County Water District
An investigation was made as to the possible inclusion in the study
area of the area east of the proposed Irvine Company developments
(original study area) and west of the Santiago County Water District
boundaries. The natural topographic ridge which separates drain-
age into Peters Canyon and Santiago Creek is to be the eastern
boundary of such an area.
The eastern boundary of The Irvine Company development area
coincides with the western boundary of the Santiago County ·water
District, which is also the topographic ridge line. Thus, the
area west of the Santiago County Water District is already in-
cluded within the original study area.
D • Other Areas South of Irvine Boulevard
Another area included· in the study is the area south of Irvine
Boulevard and north of the Santa Ana Freeway, and between
Browning Avenue and Myford Road. The city of Tustin land-use
plan has designated this area as Planned Commuriity-Single
Family Residential (7, 200 square feet). The Irvine Company staff
has indicated that a mix of single and multiple family residential
with a certain amount of commercial; institutional, parks, etc ••
would be more appropriate for the area. The Irvine Company has
not done any definitive studies as yet, but stated a mix as shown
in Table V-5 would probably be proposed when the area is to be
developed. Since this approach would genera~e larger wastewater
flows and our approach in this study is to be conservative, we
have tabled flows accordingly. This area comprises about

575 acres. Flows for this area are listed in Table V-5 with a
total average flow of 3. 3 cfs projected.

The area south of the Santa Ana Freeway, north .of Moulton
Parkway,. and bounded by Browning Ave~ue and Myford Road is
known as the East Tustin Industrial Complex. .It is proposed
that the industrial and institutional land use in this area be ex-
panded as shown in the ·Village .Ten Study -Concept Plan A. The
expansion involves an additional 311 acres, and an additional
average flow of 1. 9 cfs is projected. Flows for this area are
shown in Table V-6 below. The Irvine Company is not certain
whether this additional 311 acres will be developed as industrial
land use or as residential land use •. If it is developed as indus-
trial, The Irvine Company would prefer that_ flow generated go to
V-8
-
the CSD' s treatment plant rather than to their .Michelson water
reclamation plant. However, if it is developed as residential
land use, they purpose to sewer the flow to the Michelson water
reclamation plant.

wastewater collected from the Browning Avenue subtrunk west
into the Lemon-Heights Trunk. The Dow Street pumping station,
which pumps into the Navy Way pumping station, presently pumps
wastewater from existing industrial sources in the East Tustin
Industrial Complex, between Moulton Parkway and Santa Ana

VI. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING TRUNK SYSTEM TO RECEIVE FLOWS
FROM PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AREAS AND LAYOUT OF
PETERS CANYON TRUNK
A. Upper Peters Canyon -Handy Creek Flow
The projected additional flow from the upper Peters Canyon de-
velopment area which drains northerly to Handy Creek is 1 • 5 cfs
(1.0 mgd). This flow would enter the upper end of the Tustin-
Orange Trunk along Handy Creek. There is sufficient excess
capacity along most of the Tustin-Orange Trunk to handle this
flow. The Tustin-Orange Trunk has an available excess capacity
of approximately 1.2 cfs, with a-minimum excess cap8:city of
0.9 cfs (0.6 mgd), for about 1,000 feet of reach, and maximum
excess capacity of up to 9. 6 cfs ( 6. 2 mgd) in some reaches.
To fully handle the 1.5-cfs flow from the upper Peters Canyon
area, a parallel 12-inch-diameter trunk is required to add ad-
ditional capacity along the reach of minimum excess capacity
9f 0. 9 cfs. This trunk would parallel the existing 21-inch-
diameter trunk along Orange Park Boulevard from Santiago
Canyon Road to Clark Street. Length of the parallel trunk is
approximately 1 , 100 feet. Location of the trunk is shown in
Figure 1. In addition, a 27-inch trunk, 7, 300 feet in length,
paralleling the Sunflower Avenue Trunk between Bear Street
and Main Street would be required to provide an additional
peak capacity of 6.3 cfs (4.1 mgd) to handle the existing
deficiency plus new flow.
Within the accuracy of this study, there is sufficient excess ca-
pacity in the remaining reaches of the Tustin-Orange Trunk to
VI-1
-
...
-.
..i..
adequately handle the projected upper. Peters Canyon flow.
There is also sufficient excess capacity in the remaining
downstream Red Hill Avenue and Sunflower Avenue Trunks,
with a minimum excess capacity of 1.0 cfs in one downstream
reach of the Red Hill Avenue Trunk. This is not considering
• additional flows from the Peters Canyon Trunk, but only those
from the upper Peters Canyon northerly draining area. As will
be. discussed in following sections' there does not aepear to b~
sufficient excess capacity along all downstream trunks to accept
flows from both the northerly draining area and Peters Canyon
Trunk.
B. Layout of Peters Canyon Trunk and Connection to Existing Trunk
System
The Peters Canyon Trunk would start just south of Peters Canyon
Reservoir and follow Peters Canyon southerly to Irvine Boulevard.
This· reach would pick up flow from the backside areas of Lemon
Heights and Cowan Heights through approximately seven subtrunks
from the various areas, as shown in Figure 1 • It would then run
east 1, 300 feet in Irvine Boulevard, and then south in Myford
. Road to Moulton Parkway. There are several alternatives at this
point by which the Peters Canyon Tru~k could connect to the
existing trunk uystem. These include a connection trunk along
Moulton Parkway, Barranca Road, M~Gaw Avenue·, or Main
Street. Also, connecting trunks along Irvine Boulevard and Santa
Ana Freeway, both above Moulton Parkway, were investigated.
These trunks would convey a portion of the Peters Canyon Trunk
flow and make use of any available excess capacity in this part of
the trunk system. These various alternatives are discussed in
Section C.
VI-2
The recommended alternative is to extend the Peters Canyon
Trunk south along Jamboree Road to McGaw Avenue and west along
McGaw Avenue. This recommendation is based upon both engi-
neering and economic factors. The economic analysis is discussed
in Section VII.
The layout of the Peters Canyon Trunk is shown in Figure 1 •
The pipe size would vary from 8-inch-diameter pipe at the begin-
ning below Peters Canyon Reservoir and increase to 36-inch-
diameter pipe along the last reach in McGaw Avenue. The pipe
sizes by reach are also shown in Figure 1.
C. Irvine Boulevard Trunk
D.
A connecting trunk westerly on Irvine Boulevard a:nd connecting
to the Lemon Heights Trunk. which would convey all or a portion
of the flow from the Peters Canyon Trunk to the existing system
at this point, was investigated. This plan, however, is not feasi-
ble since there is no available excess capacity in the Lemon
Heights Trunk (see ~ection IV), according to Master Plan pro-
. jected nows_.
Santa Ana Freeway Trunk
A connecting trunk which would follow the Santa Ana Freeway
westerly and then go south for approximately 1 , 00 O feet and con-
nect to the Red Hill Trunks at Mitchell Avenue was investigated.
This is not feasible since the Red Hill Trunk invert elevation at
Mitchell Ave1:1ue (81 feet) is greater than the ground elevation at
Myford Road and Santa Ana Freeway (78 feet).
VI-3
....
·-
E. Moulton Parkway Trunk
A conne~ting trunk westerly along Moulton Parkway connecting
with the Redh.ill Trunks at Edinger Avenue was investigated.
This alternative is also not feasible since the Red Hill Avenue
Trunk invert.elevation at Edinger Avenue (72 feet) is greater
than the ground elevation at Moulton Parkway and Jamboree·
Road/Myford Road (54 feet).
F. Barranca Road Trunk
In this alternative, the Peters Canyon Trunk would continue south .
on Myford ~oad to Walnut Avenue, and the.n continue south along
the proposed Jamboree Road/Myford Road extension through the
MCAS, th~n along the existing Jamboree Road to Barranca Road,
and finally west along Barranca Road and connect to the existing
Red Hill Avenue Trunks. Due to the existing elevation of the Red
Hill·Avenue Trunks and the ground elevation at Barranca and
Jamboree Roads, only about 2.4 feet of cover is .available at
Barranca and Jamboree Roads for a 36-inch connecting trunk
along Barranca Road. To provide more cover at this upstream·
end, the trunk would.have to be routed diagonally through the •
southeastern corner of the MCAS. Because of the minimum
available cover, and the unlikelih9od of securing an easement
across the MCAS, this trunk alternative is not recommended.
Another consideration regarding this alternative is the insuffi-
cient excess capacity in all reaches of the combined Red Hill
Avenue Trunks below Barranca Road for the projected additional
Peters Canyon Trunk flow (7 .1 ~fs or 4 .6 .mgd). After including
VI-4

1w=i
the projected additional now from the northerly draining upper
Peters Canyon area ( 1 • 5 cfs or 1 • 0 mgd) • an additional trunk
paralleling the Red Hill Avenue Trunks from Barranca Road to
McGaw Avenue would be required. Available excess capacity
along this reach is presently only about 0. 7 cfs after including
the upper Peters Canyon flow.
Also. additional parallel trunks along Red Hill Avenue from
Reynolds Avenue to Main Street, and along Sunflower Avenue,
would be required. These are discussed in the following section
on the IVIcGaw Avenue Trunk alternative.
The Santa Ana Trunk. owned by CSD No. 1. was analyzed to de-
termine if additional excess capacity in the Red Hill Avenue
Trunks could be created by diverting ~dditional flows into the
Santa Ana Trunk upstream at Bell Avenue. However. this is not
feasible, since there is no excess capacity in the upstream reach
of the Santa Ana Trunk above Raitt Street.
G. McGaw Avenue Trunk
In this alternative. Peters Canyon Trunk would continue south
from Barranca Road along Jamboree Road to McGaw Avenue.
then west along McGaw Avenue, and connect to the Red Hill Avenue
Trunks. This connecting trunk alternative is feasible. since the
ground elevation at McGaw Avenue and Jamboree Road is suffi-
ciently higher than the Red Hill Avenue Trunk elevation at McGaw
Avenue and adequately provides approximately 7 feet of cover at
McGaw Avenue and Jamboree Road for a 36-inch trunk along
McGaw Avenue. This is valid only if the Peters Canyon Trunk
Vl-5
. '-'
follows the alignment along the proposed Myford Road/ Jamboree
Road shown in Figure 1.
A trunk alignment further east would reduce pipe cover because
of decreasing ground elevation and may make this alternative
. unfeasible.
Sufficient excess capacitY exists in the· Red Hill Avenue Trunks
below McGaw Avenue to the connection with the Sunflower Avenue
and Gisler Avenue Trunks. if both Red Hill Avenue Trunks are
considered. The Master Planned South Irvine Lift Station will,
when constructed. divert and pump flow from the smaller 27-inch
Red Hill Avenue Trunk into the larger 68-inch Red Hill Avenue
Trunk at the downstream end near Main Street~ Presently. the
smaller Red Hill Trunk goes into the Gisler Avenue, Trunk. which
was determined to have no excess capacity in its downstream
reach.
Sinc·e costs for pumping wastewater are high due to energy and
maintenance. and energy costs will no doubt significantly increase
in the future. pumping of any portion of the new additional flows
should be avoided except where absolutely necess~ry.
To avoid pumping. all of the new flow from the Peters Canyon
Trut?-k should be routed into the larger. Red Hill Avenue Trunk at
McGaw Avenue (54-inches) and no portion routed into the smaller
27-inch Red Hill Avenue Trunk. The upper Peters Canyon flow
coming down the Tustin-Orange Trunk would automatically enter
the larger trunk at McGaw Avenue since a cross connection at this
point diverts all upstream flow. into the larger trunk from the

smaller trunk. There .is not. however. sufficient excess capacity
available along the larger Red Hill Avenue Trunk. in the reach
from Reynolds Avenue to Main Street (approximately 4. 200 feet).
to handle the combined total additional now of 8 • 6 cfs ( 5 • 6 mgd)
from both the upper Peters Canyon fiow ( 1. 5 cfs) and the Peters
Canyon Trunk (7.1 cfs). While about 14.1-cfs (9.1-mgd) excess
capacity exists in the combined Red Hill Avenue Trunks. only
about 1. 2-cfs (0. 8-mgd) excess capacity exists in the larger
trunk.
As pointed out under the discussion of the Barranca Road Trunk
alternative. the possibility was investigated of routing upstream
nows into the Santa Ana Trunk to create more excess capacity
in the Red Hill A venue Trunks • However. this is not feasible.
as no excess capacity is available in upstream reaches of the
Santa Ana Trunk.
Another possibility investigated would be to put tl~e Peters
Canyon Trunk fiow into both Red Hill Avenue Trunks at McGaw
Avenue and utilize excess capacity in the. smaller trunk _from
Reynolds Avenue to Main Street. then construct a connecting
trunk from the smaller 27-inch trunk to the 63-inch trunk along
Main Street. It is doubtful that this is feasible. however. since
the top of pipe elevations of the 27 -inch and 6 3-inch trunks are
ihe same (23 feet). requiring a connection trunk which would flow
surcharged at the downstream end. Further detailed engineering
analysis beyond the scope of this study may show this alternative
is feasible.
Vl-7

-
A 33-inch-diameter trunk paralleling the larger Red Hill Avenue
Trunk for 4, 200 feet, from Reynolds Avenue t~ Main Street, is
proposed to provide an additional 7 .4-cfs (4 .8-mgd) average flow
capacity. This additional capacity, combined with the 1.2-cfs
(0 .8-mgd) ex.cess capacity in the existing Red Hill Avenue 63-inch
trunk would provide an additional capacity of 8. 6 cfs (5 .6 mgd) from
M<;:Gaw Avenue to the connection with the Sunflower Avenue Trunk.
.. Sufficient excess capacity exists in the remaining reaches of the
R~d Hill Avenue Trunk below McGaw Avenue_, varying from 14.1 to
20.7 cfs (9.1to13.4 mgd).
-
H. Main Street Trunk
This plan. would extend Pet~rs Canyon Trunk south along Jamboree
Road to Main Street and then west along Main Street, cross over
the existing 30-inch-diameter trunk, and connect to the 66-inch
trunk at Red Hill Avenue.
The trunk size would be 30 inch diameter·along Jamboree Road,
from McGaw Avenue to Main Street, and 36 inch diameter along
Main Street.
Summa_rizing, two alternatives are f~asible for connecting the
Peters Canyon Trunk to the existing district trunk system.
One alternative is a connection trunk along McGaw Avenue with a
parallel trunk along a 4, 200-foot reach of Red Hill Avenue, the
other is a connection trunk along Main Street. Since there are no
additional flows within the scope of this report below McGa w
Avenue which would be intercepted by the Main Street alternative.
the choice between the two alt~rnatives is largely based on cost.
VI-8

1.
. ·'-'
The cost comparison between the two alternative routes is found
in the next section.
As shown in Section VII. construction costs of the two alternatives
are essentially the same. Based upon engineering factors, the
McGaw Street connection trunk is recommended.
Additional Facilities and Trunk Reguired Along Sunflower Avenue
The analysis of excess capacity in the Sunflower Avenue and Gis-
ler Avenue Trunks, downstream of the Red Hill Avenue Trunk.
shows there is not sufficient excess capacity in both trunks along
their entire length, from the treatment plant to Main Street, to
handle the additional projected flows. The total projected addi-
tional flow is 8 .6-cfs average flow (5.6 mgd) which consists
of 1. 5 cfs ( 1. 0 mgd) from the upper Peters Canyon area via the
Tustin-Orange Trunk, and 7 .1 cfs (4. 6 mgd) fro~ the Peters
Canyon Trunk entering the system at McGaw Avenue.
In the upstream reach of the Sunflower Avenue Trunk, from Bear
Street to Main Street, a deficiency of 2 • 3 cf s ( 1 • 5 mgd) exists •
In the downstream reach from the treatment plant to approxi-
mately Bear Street, about 2 .5-cfs (1.6-mgd) excess capacity
exists.
Analysis of the Gisler Avenue Trunk shows that it cannot handle
additional flows since there is no excess capacity in the down-
stream reach, below Bear Street. Also, Gisler Avenue Trunk
flows require pumping at the College Avenue pumping station,
which should be avoided because of energy costs •
Vl-9
t I
....
-
An analysis of the Santa Ana Trunk (CSD No. 1) shows no availa•
ble excess capacity in the· upstream reach ·above Raitt Street and
about 5. 6-cfs (3. 6-mgd) excess capacity in the downstream reach
from the treatment plant to Raitt Street •
Since a defici,..ency of 2. 3 cfs ( 1 • 5 mgd) exists along the upstream
reach of the Sunflower Avenue Trunk from Bear Street to Main
Street, an additional 11.0-cfs (7 .1-mgd) average flow capacity or
16. 7-cfs (10 .8-mgd) peak flow capacity is needed.
. .
To provide sufficient capacity along this reach, an additional
. . .
39-inch parallel trunk along Sunflower Avenue from Be.ar Street
to Main Street is required. This would provide an additional
17 .8-cfs (11.5-mgd) peak capacity. Length of the trunk is ap-
proximately 7, 300 feet.
In the downstream reach of the Sunflower Avenue Trunk from the
treatment plant to the intersection with the Raitt Street Trunk,
west of Bear Street, only 2 .5-cfs (1.6-mgd) excess capacity is
available, and an additional 6.3-cfs (4.1-mgd) average flow
· capacity is needed.
In. this reach, advantage can be taken of the approximately 5. 6-cfs
(3 • 6-mgd) excess capacity which exists in the dOWI)Stream reach
of the Santa Ana Trunk, below Raitt Street. By diverting 5 .6 cfs
of the 6.5-cfs (4.2-mgd) Master Plan flow, which presently flows
down the Raitt Street Trunk and into the Sunflower Trunk, into
the Santa Ana Trunk, an additional 5.6-cfs (3.6-mgd) excess ca-
paci ty can be obtained in the downstr.eam r·each of the Sunflower
VI-10
!' r
·'WI
Avenue Trunk. To divert this flow, a small lift station is re-
quired at Raitt Street and Alton Avenue since the Raitt Street
Trunk passes under the Santa Ana Trunk. A total lift of 7 to
8 feet is required.
The addition of this lift station would give a total available excess
capacity in the downstream reach of the Sunflower Avenue Trunk
of only 8 .1 cfs (5 .2 mgd) to handle the total projected additional
flow of 8. 6 cfs (5. 6 mgd). Although there is still a deficiency
in capacity of 0 .5-cfs average now., the amount is small in rela-
tion to the capacity of the existing Sunflower Avenue Trunk in
this reach (132-cfs capacity). Within the accuracy of this study,
it can be assumed that this amount is insignificant and that there
is sufficient capacity to handle the total projected additional now
with this fl<?w plan. This plan would also eliminate the need to
construct a costly parallel trunk along the reach of the Sunflower
. Avenue Trunk from the treatment plant to Bear Street.

CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATES -
To accommodate the upper Peters Canyon area flow, an additional
12-inch parallel tr"unk is required along an upper reach of the Tustin-
Orange Trunk along Orange Park Boulevard, as discussed in Sec-
tion V. Length of4f:he trunk is approximately 1, 100 feet. The con-
struction cost for this trunk is estimated at $36 per foot, or an esti-
mated total of $39, 600, not including engineering, legal, administra-
· tive, and other miscellaneous costs and contingencies. This cost is
shown in Table VII-3, which shows the total cost, .including fees, for
all proposed trunks and facilities.
A comparison of construction cost estimates for a McGaw Avenue
connection trunk alternative and a Main Street connection trunk al-
ternative, for the last reach of the Peters Canyon Trunk, is shown in
Table VII:-1 • Within the accuracy of this report, the two alternatives
can be considered to have the same construction cost. Since Main
Street has considerably heavier traffic than McGaw Avenue and also
has a large number of existing utilities in it, the McGaw Avenue Trunk
alternative is recommended, although a parallel trunk.along Red Hill
is required.
The construction cost for eliminating the nine existing pumping sta-
tions in the Lemon and Cowan Heights areas, as well as the Navy \Vay
and Dow Avenue pumping stations, and connecting to the Peters
Canyon. Trunk is estimated to be $542, 040, as shown in Table VII-2.
In analyzing the situations for eliminating the Covey Lane, Racquet
Hill, and Red Hill Ridge pumping stations .• it was concluded the most
cost-effective solutions would be to connect to gravity sewer systems·
VII-1
in future adjacent developments. Constructing connecting lines to the
Peters Canyon Trunk would require pipelines over 3, 000 feet in length
in each case. Pipe costs shown in Table VII-2 for these three pumping
stations are figured on this basis.
T~e estimated construction cost for the Peters Canyon Trunk only is
$3, 497, 800 and is shown in Table VII-3. The total cost of the Peters
Canyon Trunk, including elimination and connection of the existing
pumping stations; construction of additional parallel trunks and lift
station for additional capacity in the existing trunk system; and fees,
including preliminary engineering, design surveying, design engi-
neering, construction staking, construction inspection, administra-
tion, legal, and miscellaneous, is $6, 893, 500 arid is shown in Table
VII-3.
The unit pipe costs shown include appurtenances, a construction con-
tingency of 10 percent, and take into account construction along heavily
traveled streets (Main Street, Red Hill Avenue, and Sunflower Avenue).
Engineering, surveying, legal, administrative, and inspection costs
were estimated at 25 percent of construction cost. Right-of-way costs
are not included, since proposed alignments currently outside of public
right-of-way are either in Irvine Company property or within the pro-
posed extension of Jamboree Road through the MCAS. It is assumed
there would not be any charges for right-of-way through these
properties.

VIII CONSTRUCTION PHASING OF PETERS CANYON
TRUNK AND FACILITIES
Significant points regarding phasing of construction of the proposed
facilities are the flow from the northerly draining upper Peters Can-
yon development area and excess capacity in the existing trunk system.
Additional average flow from this upper Peters Canyon area is pro-
jected to be 1.5 cfs (1.0 mgd). This flow would run north into the
northern end of the Tustin-Orange Trunk and then into the Red Hill
Avenue and Sunflower Avenue Trunks. Presently, there is sufficient
available excess capacity in the existing trunk system, with the excep-
tion of an 1, 100-foot reach in the upper reach of the Tustin-Orange
Trunk, and a 7, 300-foot reach of the Sunflower Avenue Trunk to re-
ceive this additional flow, not including the Peters Canyon Trunk flow.
Therefore, this upper area can be sewered with two additional trunks
to the existing trunk system, consisting of a 1, 100-foot, 12-inch-
diameter and a 7, 300-foot, minimum 27-inch-diameter parallel
trunk as described in Section VI. The 2 7 inch is indicated as a mini-
mum size since it will handle only the additional flow of the upper
Peters Canyon area, and a 39-inch relief trunk is required to include
the additional Peters Canyon Trunk flow. This assumes that the un-
completed section of Reach 18 of the Tustin-Orange Trunk along
Orange Park Boulevard will be constructed. Presently, flow is routed
along a 12-inch trunk owned by the city of Orange.
Another significant point affecting construction phasing is the devel-
opment of flows from the MCAS. A total average flow of 9.3 cfs
(6 .o mgd) is projected in the Master Plan for the area presently con-
taining the MCAS, between Barranca Road and Navy Way. This Master
VIII-1
-
·~
Plan flow assumes the MCAS will eventually be phased out and the
area developed as an industrial/ commercial ax_:ea. Current flows from
the MCAS are estimated at about 0. 56 cfs (4, 0.00 personnel at 90 gpcd).
Thus, there is an extra allowance of excess capacity in the existing
· system of about 8. 7 cfs (13 .5 mgd) for the eventual development of this
area. If the proposed industrial/ commercial area does not develop,
the excess capacity from this extra allowance· is sufficient for all of
the projected flows from the upper Peters Canyon area and from
Peters Canyon Trunk to be handled by the existing trunk system. with
only the construction of the 12-inch-diameter parallel trunk along the
Tustin-Orange Trunk.
Therefore, the proposed additional parallel trunk alon·g Red Hill Ave-
nue and the lift station at the Raitt Street Trunk would not be necessary
until the flows actually develop from the conversion of ihe'MCAS area
to industrial/ commercial use. Construction of these additional facili-
ties can be delayed until t~is occurs.
