SUBJECT:
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CONTRACT PERFORMANCE REPORT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the Capital Improvement Program Contract Performance Report for the period
ending March 31, 2020.
BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Program involves awarding and managing many construction and
consulting contracts. In 2008, the Orange County Sanitation District Board of Directors began
awarding contingencies along with construction and consulting contracts and amendments for
consulting contracts up to the amount of the approved contingency. This practice reduces
administrative costs, expedites resolution of project issues that arise, helps avoid Contractor delay
claims, and facilitates efficient management of many contracts.
The Capital Improvement Program Contract Performance Report summarizes construction and
consulting contract performance and activities for the quarter ending March 31, 2020. This report is
updated quarterly.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure the public's money is wisely spent

Contract Performance Report
9ojEcrTN6 THE EN�\Ppa��� For the period ending March 31, 2020
When the Sanitation District Board awards a construction contract, they also approve a
contingency which allows the General Manager to approve contract change orders up to
the amount of the contingency. One purpose of this report is to document how much of
the contingency is utilized. A contract's change order rate is only meaningful when the
work is completed. As such, the change order performance charts in this report are based
only on contracts closed since the Board began approving contingencies in 2008. The
following chart shows how cumulative change order rates have changed for plant,
collections, and all contracts since the contingency system was implemented.

ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Capital Improvement Program
Contract Performance Report
9ojEcrTN6 THE EN�\Ppa��� For the period ending March 31, 2020
PART 2 — ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENTS
The Sanitation District engages engineering consultants through Professional Service
Agreements (PSAs), Professional Design Services Agreements (PDSAs), Professional
Construction Services Agreements (PCSAs), and Master Professional Services
Agreements (Master Agreements). PDSAs are used to obtain design engineering
services, and PCSAs are a subsequent agreement with the design consultant to provide
support services during construction. PSAs are used for planning studies and other
consultant assignments.
Master Agreements are issued to a pool of pre-qualified consultants for smaller projects.
On those smaller projects, the Sanitation District solicits task order proposals from three
or four of the firms and awards a task order to the most qualified consultant. There are
currently six sets of Master Agreements.
• 2012 Master Design Agreements (expired)
• 2015 Master Design Agreements (expired)
• 2018 Master Design Agreements
• 2017 Master Agreements for CEQA Studies
• 2017 Master Agreements for Collection Planning Studies
• 2017 Master Agreements for Wastewater Treatment Planning Studies
The two Master Design Agreements from 2012, and 2015 have expired, meaning no new
task orders can be issued under them, but previously-issued task orders remain active
until completed. Task Orders are limited by Sanitation District Ordinance No. OCSD-52
$300,000 per task order.
A status table for all Active Engineering Services Agreements (PDSAs and PCSAs) is
attached under Table 3, and a status table for all Active Task Orders by Master
Agreement is attached under Table 4 (Master Agreements).

PART 4 — SUPPLEMENTAL ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT
In May 2016, the Sanitation District Board of Directors approved a $41 million
professional services agreement with Jacobs Project Management Co. to provide
supplemental engineering and support staff services for a four-year term with the option
of three one-year renewals. The benefits of using a supplemental engineering services
contract, as opposed to hiring full-time staff or limited-term employees, include rapid
mobilization of highly skilled/technical staff, flexibility to change the mix of staff positions
on an immediate and as-needed basis, the ability to reduce staff as workloads decrease,
access to technical experts to support special tasks, and access to staff with wastewater
project experience.
A status table for the supplemental engineering services contract summary is attached
under Table 10, and the supplemental engineering services labor summary can be
found under Table 11 .

SUBJECT:
TOSHIBA 12KV CIRCUIT BREAKER PURCHASE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Award a Purchase Order Contract to Superior Electric Motor Services for the purchase of eight
Toshiba HVK 12kV circuit breakers for Plant No. 1 Electrical Distribution System, per
Specification No. E-2020-116213D, for a total amount not to exceed $195,072, including sales
tax and freight; and
B. Approve a contingency of $9,754 (5%).
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Plant No. 1 Power Building 5 12 kV circuit
breakers are over 20 years old and have reached the end of their useful life. The Toshiba VK type 1
circuit breakers currently in service are obsolete and no longer supported nor repairable by Toshiba's
field service repair shop. Replacement parts are also not available. Toshiba redesigned the circuit
breakers and changed their designation to HVK. The Toshiba HVK circuit breakers are the only
circuit breakers compatible with 12 kV switchgear in Power Building 5.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
• Sustain 1, 5, 20-year planning horizons
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
PROBLEM
Toshiba model VK circuit breakers have reached the end of their useful life. Preventive maintenance
performed identified contact wear at their maximum allowable limit. Toshiba no longer supports
repair services because parts are unavailable for these circuit breakers.

TIMING CONCERNS
The replacement of 12 kV circuit breakers are required for reliably switching power to the Plant No. 1
Digester Facilities. A delay in procurement may impact the ability to switch power from multiple
sources due to risk of a circuit breaker failure which impacts reliability for processing solids.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Failure to act increases the risk of circuit breaker failure resulting in a disruption of power distribution
throughout Plant No. 1, impacting process and our ability to treat wastewater.

right to approve or reject such coverage in its own discretion. If written on a claims-
made basis, the CONTRACTOR warrants that any retroactive date applicable to

B. Substitution of Securities:
CONTRACTOR may, at its sole expense, substitute securities as provided in
General Conditions—"Retained Funds; Substitution of Securities." Payment of
Escrow Agent:
In lieu of substitution of securities as provided above, the CONTRACTOR may
request and OCSD shall make payment of retention earned directly to the
escrow agent at the expense of the CONTRACTOR. At the expense of the
CONTRACTOR, the CONTRACTOR may direct the investment of the
payments into securities consistent with Government Code §16430 and the
CONTRACTOR shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the
same terms provided for in this article for securities deposited by the
CONTRACTOR. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, the
CONTRACTOR shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest and
payments received by the escrow agent from OCSD, pursuant to the terms of
this article. The CONTRACTOR shall pay to each Subcontractor, not later than
twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the payment, the respective amount
of interest earned, net of costs attributed to retention withheld from each
Subcontractor, on the amount of retention withheld to ensure the performance
of the Subcontractor. The escrow agreement used by the escrow agent
pursuant to this article shall be substantially similar to the form set forth in
§22300 of the California Public Contract Code.
C. Release of Retention:
Upon Final Acceptance of the Work, the CONTRACTOR shall submit an
invoice for release of retention in accordance with the terms of the Contract.
D. Additional Deductibles:
In addition to the retentions described above, OCSD may deduct from each
progress payment any or all of the following:
1. Liquidated Damages that have occurred as of the date of the application for
progress payment;
2. Deductions from previous progress payments already paid, due to OCSD's
discovery of deficiencies in the Work or non-compliance with the
Specifications or any other requirement of the Contract;
3. Sums expended by OCSD in performing any of the CONTRACTOR'S
obligations under the Contract that the CONTRACTOR has failed to
perform, and;
4. Other sums that OCSD is entitled to recover from the CONTRACTOR
under the terms of the Contract, including without limitation insurance
deductibles and assessments.

The failure of OCSD to deduct any of the above-identified sums from a
progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of OCSD's right to such sums or
to deduct them from a later progress payment.
EXA-4 STOP PAYMENT NOTICE
In addition to other amounts properly withheld under this article or under other
provisions of the Contract, OCSD shall retain from progress payments
otherwise due the CONTRACTOR an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the amount claimed under any stop payment notice under
Civil Code §9350 et. seq. or other lien filed against the CONTRACTOR for
labor, materials, supplies, equipment, and any other thing of value claimed to
have been furnished to and/or incorporated into the Work; or for any other
alleged contribution thereto. In addition to the foregoing and in accordance with
Civil Code §9358 OCSD may also satisfy its duty to withhold funds for stop
payment notices by refusing to release funds held in escrow pursuant to public
receipt of a release of stop payment notice executed by a stop payment notice
claimant, a stop payment notice release bond, an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction, or other evidence satisfactory to OCSD that the CONTRACTOR
has resolved such claim by settlement.
EXA-5 PAYMENT TO SUBCONTRACTORS

effective releases or waivers of liens and stop payment notices satisfactory
to OCSD, arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. Prior progress
payments shall be subject to correction in OCSD's review of the application
for Final Payment. Claims filed with the application for Final Payment must
be otherwise timely under the Contract and applicable law.
3. Within a reasonable time, OCSD will review the CONTRACTOR'S
application for Final Payment. Any recommended changes or corrections
will then be forwarded to the CONTRACTOR. Within ten (10) calendar days

settled Claims.
5. The release from the CONTRACTOR shall be from any and all Claims
arising under the Contract, except for Claims that with the concurrence of
OCSD are specifically reserved, and shall release and waive all unreserved
Claims against OCSD and its officers, directors, employees and authorized
representatives. The release shall be accompanied by a certification by the
CONTRACTOR that:
a. It has resolved all Subcontractors, Suppliers and other Claims that are
related to the settled Claims included in the Final Payment;
b. It has no reason to believe that any party has a valid claim against the
CONTRACTOR or OCSD which has not been communicated in writing
by the CONTRACTOR to OCSD as of the date of the certificate;
c. All warranties are in full force and effect, and;
d. The releases and the warranties shall survive Final Payment.
6. If any claims remain open, OCSD may make Final Payment subject to
resolution of those claims. OCSD may withhold from the Final Payment an
amount not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the sum of the
amounts of the open claims, and one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the amounts of open stop payment notices referred to in article entitled
stop payment notices herein.
7. The CONTRACTOR shall provide an unconditional waiver and release on
final payment from each Subcontractor and Supplier providing Work under
the Contract (per Civil Code Section 8138) and an unconditional waiver and
release on final payment on behalf of the CONTRACTOR (per Civil Code
Section 8138) within thirty (30) days of receipt of Final Payment.

(State Clearinghouse No. 2015101042) that evaluated the total buildout of the Specific Plan
area with a goal of revitalizing the existing light industrial use;
B. Consider, receive, and file the Initial Study/Addendum for the Administrative Headquarters
Building, Project for P1-128, dated December 2019 to the City of Fountain Valley's Program

BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) is replacing the existing Administration
Building and other buildings at Plant No. 1 with a new Headquarters complex north of Ellis Avenue
across from Plant No. 1.

File #: 2020-1107 Agenda Date: 6/24/2020 Agenda Item No: 8.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Comply with California Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, award a construction contract
to lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
PROBLEM
Existing buildings on the site north of Ellis Avenue need to be demolished for construction of the
Headquarters Complex. The main construction project will take longer to complete if these buildings
are not demolished in advance.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award a separate demolition contract in advance of the main construction contract for the
Headquarters Complex. This contract will demolish four of the five buildings on the site. The fifth
building is currently occupied by a tenant and does not need to be demolished until near the end of
the main construction project.
TIMING CONCERNS
Delaying the demolition of these buildings might delay construction of the Headquarters Complex.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If the demolition is not completed in advance under a separate contract, the overall completion of
the Headquarters Complex will be delayed by requiring the future Headquarters Complex
construction contractor to perform the demolition.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District advertised Project No. P1-128C for bids on January 30, 2020 and six sealed
bids were received on March 10, 2020. A summary of the bid opening follows:
Engineer's Estimate $ 2,475,000
Bidder Amount of Bid
Interior Demolition, Inc. $ 800,000
AMPCO North, Inc. $ 1,094,000
Resource Environmental, Inc. $ 1,555,000
GGG Demolition, Inc. $ 1,725,000
American Wrecking, Inc. $ 1,727,000

File #: 2020-1107 Agenda Date: 6/24/2020 Agenda Item No: 8.
Consistent with the requirements of Public Contract Code Section 5100 et seq., the apparent low
Bidder, Interior Demolition, Inc. (Interior Demolition), informed Sanitation District staff that it had
discovered a mathematical clerical error in its bid, that the error affected its final bid price, that it
could not absorb the cost of the error, and that it wished to withdraw its bid. Staff recommends
accepting Interior Demolition's bid withdrawal request.
Sanitation District staff evaluated the second low Bidder, AMPCO North, Inc. (AMPCO), and
determined that its accident frequency factor was above the Sanitation District's required limit of
1.25 or below. Sanitation District staff informed AMPCO of its findings through the clarification
process and set the deadline for its response. AMPCO did not respond by the deadline. Therefore,
staff recommends rejecting AMPCO's bid as non-responsive.
Staff evaluated the third low bidder, Resource Environmental, Inc., and determined the bid to be
responsive and responsible. Staff reviewed the Engineer's Estimate to determine the discrepancy
with the low bid. It was determined that the Engineer's Estimate included conservative assumptions
regarding the removal of waste materials. As the contract requires a 75% recycling of waste
generated, this cost can vary greatly depending on the current market and the capability of the
Contractor to resell their waste materials. Considering that there are several bids within the same
range of the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, staff believes that the bid is valid.
The bids were evaluated in accordance with the Sanitation District's policies and procedures. A
notice was sent to all bidders on May 5, 2020 informing them of the intent of Sanitation District staff
to recommend award of the Demolition Contract to Resource Environmental, Inc.
Staff recommends awarding a Demolition Contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder,
Resource Environmental, Inc., for a total amount not to exceed $1,555,000.
CEQA
On January 23, 2018, the City of Fountain Valley certified the Program Environmental Impact Report
for the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse No. 2015101042) that
evaluated the total buildout of the Specific Plan area with a goal of revitalizing the existing light
industrial use.
Following that, the Sanitation District prepared an Initial Study/Addendum for the Administrative
Headquarters Building, Project No. P1-128, dated December 2019, to the City's Program
Environmental Impact Report. The addendum concluded that no further environmental review was
required. (Public Resources Code Section 21166; CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.)
A Notice of Determination will be filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder after the Sanitation
District Board approval of the construction contract for the Headquarters Complex Site Preparation,
Project No. P1-128C.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. This
item has been budgeted (FY 2019-20 Budget Update, Appendix A, Page A-8, Headquarters

DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) provides wastewater collection and treatment for
2.5 million residents in Orange County, California.The administrative, engineering, and laboratory
functions for OCSD are located at OCSD's Reclamation Plant No. 1 (Plant No. 1) in the City of
Fountain Valley(City). In addition,there is staff housed in aging office trailers throughout Plant
No. 1.
In 2013, OCSD commissioned an Administrative Facilities Master Plan to provide management and
the OCSD Board of Directors with the necessary information to make policy decisions regarding the
administrative infrastructure facilities at Plant No. 1. OCSD later prepared an Administrative
Facilities Implementation Plan (AFIP) to describe an organized program to replace the aging on-site
buildings. Following preparation of the AFIP, OCSD prepared an Alternate Site Evaluation and
developed four alternate site plan options showing building footprints, parking, and access, etc.,for
the administration building and laboratory. Based on the evaluation, OCSD selected the Southwest
Plant Alternative as the preferred alternative for evaluation under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA).
Around the time the CEQA evaluation was to begin, OCSD also began to evaluate the possibility of
locating the administrative and laboratory facilities at an off-site location. Several locations were
evaluated but were found to be infeasible, or OCSD was unable to acquire the property in question.
From 2017 to 2018, OCSD acquired approximately 5.2 acres north of Plant No. 1 on Ellis Avenue
between Pacific Street and Bandilier Circle and re-initiated the CEQA process to evaluate the
potential effects of the Administrative Headquarters Building Project, known as Project No. P1-128
(Project).The approximately 5.2-acre site north of Plant No. 1 on Ellis Avenue is herein referred to as
the Project site. Due to the size of the Project site, the proposed Project only includes construction
and operation of an administration building and surface parking lot. No laboratory building is
proposed.
On January 23, 2018,the City of Fountain Valley adopted a Specific Plan for the Fountain Valley
Crossings, a 162-acre office and industrial center located within the City.The purpose of the Specific
Plan is to provide a policy and zoning framework to allow for additional land uses in the Specific Plan
area.The Project site is located within the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan (Specific Plan)
area.This Initial Study/Addendum has been prepared to analyze the environmental effects, if any, of
implementing the proposed Project within the Specific Plan area.
In accordance with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15051(a), OCSD is the appropriate Lead Agency
for this Project as it is the public agency that will be directly implementing the Project (developing
plans, paying construction, and acquiring property, etc.), even though the Project will be located
within the jurisdiction of another agency(the City of Fountain Valley).

PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
1.2 PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
The City circulated an Initial Study/Notice of Preparation for preparation of a Program
Environmental Impact Report (EIR)for the Specific Plan on October 15, 2015,for a 30-day public
comment period.The City held a public Scoping Hearing on October 28, 2015, and public comments
were received until November 16, 2015.
The Draft EIR for the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse No. 2015101042)
was circulated for an extended 47-day public review period from January 6, 2017,to February 22,
2017.The City held a Public Hearing for the Draft EIR on January 25, 2017,to provide the public with
an opportunity to provide comments on the Specific Plan and the Draft EIR.
Following release of the Draft EIR and closure of the public review period in February 2017,the City
prepared and released for public review the pre-recirculation Final EIR on April 27, 2017.The City
Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 10, 2017,to provide Specific Plan adoption
recommendations to the City Council. The City scheduled a City Council public hearing for the
Specific Plan and the Draft EIR on June 20, 2017; however,following receipt of public comments and
staff's recommendations,the City directed staff to recirculate the Draft EIR to address public
comments and make other clarifying revisions.The Partial Recirculated Draft EIR consisted of only
the portions of the EIR that were modified. Specifically, Partial Recirculated Draft EIR sections that
were revised include the cumulative impact analysis, the revised Transportation Impact Analysis,
and a new section to address Tribal Cultural Resources, as well as sections that were revised to
provide clarity.
The Partial Recirculated Draft EIR was circulated to the public for a 45-day public review and
comment period pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(c)from October 6, 2017,to
November 20, 2017.The Specific Plan and Revised Final EIR were adopted by the City Council on
January 23, 2018.
For purposes of this Initial Study/Addendum, the Initial Study, Draft EIR, Final EIR, Recirculated Draft
EIR, and Revised Final EIR for the Specific Plan are referred to as the Specific Plan EIR.The Final
Specific Plan EIR (January 2018) is herein incorporated by reference.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE ADDENDUM TO THE SPECIFIC PLAN EIR
This Initial Study/Addendum provides the basis for preparing an Addendum to the Specific Plan EIR
for the Fountain Valley Crossings Final EIR and serves as the CEQA documentation for the following:
• Demolition of the five existing industrial warehouse buildings;
• Construction and operation of an approximately 109,914 square-foot(sf)three-story
administration building;
• Construction and operation of a surface parking lot with 262 spaces;

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
• Construction and operation of an approximately 128-foot (ft) -long pedestrian bridge connecting
the Project site to the existing Plant No. 1 site; and
• Installation of landscaping, signage, and security lighting.
This Initial Study/Addendum has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of CEQA (Public
Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines.
1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES
A Program EIR is prepared for a project consisting of a series of actions that can be characterized as
one large project and that are related either geographically; as logical parts in the chain of
contemplated actions; in connection with the general criteria to govern the conduct of a continuing
program; or as individual activities carried out under the same authorizing statutory or regulatory
authority and having generally similar environmental effects which can be mitigated in similar ways
(State CEQA Guidelines Section 15168). Once a Program EIR has been prepared, subsequent
activities within the program are evaluated to determine whether additional CEQA analysis is
needed.These subsequent activities could be found to be within the Program EIR scope, and
additional environmental documents may not be required if the Program EIR adequately addressed
impacts of the subsequent activity(State CEQA Guidelines Section 15168[c]). When a Program EIR is
relied upon for a subsequent activity, the Lead Agency incorporates applicable mitigation measures
and alternatives developed in the Program EIR into the subsequent activities (State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15168 [c] [3]). If a subsequent activity would have effects that are not identified in the
Program EIR, the Lead Agency would prepare additional environmental review documentation, as
applicable.
The Specific Plan EIR is a Program EIR that addresses the total build out of the Specific Plan area with
a goal of revitalizing the existing light industrial uses.The environmental analysis provided in the
Specific Plan EIR provides sufficient analysis in compliance with the requirements of CEQA to enable
decision-makers to approve subsequent projects proposed in the Specific Plan area,that are
consistent with the Specific Plan,without subsequent environmental review. However, if any
substantial changes to the development parameters (e.g., building envelope, height, or use, etc.)
analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR are later revised, subsequent environmental review would be
required prior to approval.
Pursuant to CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the local CEQA guidelines,this Initial Study/
Addendum focuses on demolition of the five existing industrial warehouse buildings and the
construction and operation of the new Administration Headquarters building on the Project site,
and whether the proposed Project would result in new significant impacts or a substantial increase
in previously identified significant impacts.
Pursuant to Sections 15162 and 15168(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines, when an EIR has been
certified for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for the Project unless the lead agency
determines, on the basis of substantial evidence, that one or more of the following conditions are
met:
1-3
P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx a12/20/19»
ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the Project that will require major revisions of the previous
EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is
undertaken that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance,which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as
complete, suggests any of the following:
a) The Project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.
b) Significant effects previously examined would be substantially more severe than identified
in the previous EIR.
c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but
the Project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
d) Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in
the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the Project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or
alternatives.
Section 15164(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines provides that an Addendum to an EIR shall be
prepared "if some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions described in
Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred."This Initial Study/
Addendum reviews the proposed Project and any changes to the existing conditions that have
occurred since the Specific Plan EIR was certified by the City of Fountain Valley. It also reviews any
new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known
with exercise of reasonable diligence at the time that the Specific Plan EIR was certified. It further
examines whether, as a result of any changes or any new information, a subsequent or
supplemental EIR may be required.This examination includes an analysis of the provisions of Section
21166 of the Public Resources Code and Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines and their
applicability to the proposed Project.This Initial Study/Addendum relies on the Analysis of
Environmental Impacts (Section 4), which addresses environmental checklist issues on a section-by-
section basis.
The Environmental Checklist Form has been prepared pursuant to Section 15168(c)(4) of CEQA,
which states that"where the subsequent activities involve site specific operations,the agency
should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the

activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were covered in the
program EIR."
The proposed Project is within the scope of the Specific Plan EIR. The Project site is designated
Industrial (Commercial Manufacturing) in the City's General Plan and is zoned as Specific Plan (SP)—
Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan (FVCSP) Mixed Industry District.The proposed administrative
uses are consistent with the commercial manufacturing designation, which allows for office
(administrative, business, and professional) uses. (State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168(c)(2).) The
Specific Plan anticipated, and the Specific Plan EIR evaluated, the potential net increase of 811,408
sf for the office uses within the Specific Plan area.The proposed Project, at 109,914 sf, is thus
consistent with the build out of new office uses projected in the Specific Plan. Build out of the
Specific Plan would result in an increase in population associated with approximately 2,063 new
employees, 1,444 new residents, and customers of commercial and retail businesses. Build out of
the Specific Plan would increase the density of commercial uses and introduce new residential uses,
thereby increasing the total population of the Specific Plan area. Implementation of the proposed
Project would not result in an increase in OCSD employees because the Project is characterized as a
relocation, rather than an expansion, of existing operations.Thus, the Project would be consistent
with population growth projected in the Specific Plan. (Id.) In addition,the proposed Project site is
within the geographic area analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR. (Id.)As a result,the proposed Project is
within the scope of the Specific Plan EIR. As evidenced in this document,the Orange County
Sanitation District (OCSD), the Lead Agency, determined that an Addendum to the previously
approved Specific Plan EIR is appropriate.
1.5 CONCLUSIONS
This Initial Study/Addendum addresses the environmental effects associated with the demolition of
the existing industrial warehouse buildings and construction and operation of the new
Administration Headquarters building that has been proposed within the Specific Plan area.The
proposed Project would not create new significant impacts related to any of the environmental
topics discussed below or a substantial increase in the severity of significant effects previously
studied and disclosed in the Specific Plan EIR.The conclusions of the analysis in this Initial Study/
Addendum are not substantially different from those identified in the Specific Plan EIR. In addition,
no new mitigation measures that would reduce impacts have been found to be feasible, and
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would remain infeasible.
Appendix B provides a summary of mitigation measures from the Specific Plan EIR that are
applicable and included in this Initial Study/Addendum.

DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) Reclamation Plant No. 1 (Plant No. 1) is a 114-acre facility
that treats approximately 130 million gallons of wastewater per day. OCSD's administrative,
engineering, and laboratory facilities are located primarily at Plant No. 1. In addition,there is staff
housed in aging office trailers throughout Plant No. 1. OCSD has decided the most cost-effective
solution is to construct new buildings to serve administrative and engineering functions.As such,the
proposed Administrative Headquarters Building Project, Project No. P1-128 (Project) would
construct a new headquarters building on an approximately 5.2-acre site north of Ellis Avenue
(Project site).
2.2 PROJECT LOCATION
2.2.1 Regional Setting
The Project site is located in Fountain Valley in the northwestern portion of Orange County (refer to
Figure 1, Project Location). Fountain Valley encompasses approximately nine square miles and is
bounded by Westminster and Garden Grove to the north, Santa Ana to the northeast, Costa Mesa to
the southeast, and Huntington Beach to the southwest. As shown on Figure 1, Interstate 405 (1-405)
provides regional access to the Project site.
The approximately 5.2-acre Project site is located north of OCSD's Plant No. 1 on Assessor's Parcel
Numbers (APNs) 156-163-06, -08, -09, -10, and -11.
2.2.2 Surrounding Land Uses
The Project site is bordered by industrial uses to the north, Pacific Street to the east, industrial uses
and Bandilier Circle to the west, and Ellis Avenue and OCSD's Plant No. 1 to the south.
The Project site and the adjacent properties are characterized by 1970s concrete tilt-up buildings
that are occupied by a variety of light industrial (e.g., warehousing), retail, and office uses. Many of
these buildings were constructed pursuant to Fountain Valley's former Industrial Redevelopment
Plan Area. 1-405 is 414 ft north of the Project site.The Santa Ana River Trail and Channel are located
approximately 0.2 mile east of the Project site.
2.2.3 Existing Site Conditions and Land Use Designations
The Project site is flat and is currently developed with five industrial warehouse buildings (totaling
approximately 114,744 square feet [sf]) and associated surface parking lots (refer to Figure 2,
Project Site). Landscaping on the Project site is comprised of several mature trees, shrubs, and small
grassy areas around the perimeter of the site.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT <
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
The Project site is in the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan area, which the City of Fountain
Valley adopted on January 23, 2018.The Project site is designated Industrial (Commercial
Manufacturing) in the City's General Plan and is zoned as Specific Plan (SP)— FVCSP Mixed Industry
District.The proposed administrative uses are consistent with the commercial manufacturing
designation, which allows for office (administrative, business, and professional) uses. Additionally,
the Project would be consistent with the zoning because it would be consistent with development
standards required by the Specific Plan.
2.3 PROPOSED PROJECT
2.3.1 Project Characteristics
The proposed Project is a plan to construct a new administration building on the Project site north
of Ellis Avenue and to relocate the existing administrative uses from Plant No. 1 to the Project site.
The Project includes demolition of five industrial warehouse buildings on the Project site. As shown
on Figure 3, Conceptual Site Plan, the following facilities would be constructed on the Project site:
• An approximately 109,914 sf three-story administration building;
• A surface parking lot with 262 spaces;
• An approximately 128 ft long pedestrian bridge constructed across Ellis Avenue to connect Plant
No. 1 with the new Administration Headquarters complex on the Project site; and
• Landscaping, signage, and security lighting.
Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in an increase in OCSD employees because
the Project is characterized as a relocation, rather than an expansion, of existing operations. In
addition, other than the relocation of staff/uses from the existing administration building, no
changes to operations are proposed at Plant No. 1.
2.3.2 Administrative Building
The proposed three-story administration building would be approximately 109,914 sf and would
include a lobby, a boardroom/multipurpose room, a public exhibit displaying the history and values
of OCSD for use during public tours and events, and administrative offices for OCSD staff.The
administration building would operate during OCSD's normal business hours, which are Monday
through Friday from 8 a.m.to 6 p.m. Limited monthly events would occur on some evenings,
including meetings of OCSD's Board of Directors.
The new building would provide modern, state-of-the-art space that would consolidate OCSD
business operations, providing a collaborative, sustainable, and flexible work environment.The new
building would replace a combination of outdated, non-compliant buildings and trailers located at
Plant No. 1.The building will be designed to achieve United States Green Building Council
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum Certification.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
The Project would also include a public entrance plaza, an exhibit plaza, and a private landscaped
employee courtyard.
2.3.3 Pedestrian Bridge
An approximately 128 ft long pedestrian bridge would be constructed across Ellis Avenue to connect
Plant No. 1 with the new Administration Headquarters complex on the Project site.The pedestrian
bridge is designed to reflect the character of the new administration building.The bridge would
consist of two painted exposed Warren steel trusses spanning Ellis Avenue with a concrete metal
deck floor and a metal roof.The bridge would be unconditioned and open to the air, as well as
enclosed with stainless steel cable mesh for protection from any potential falls.
The tallest point of the bridge structure would be a maximum of 30 ft above grade.The lowest point
of the bridge structure would be a minimum of 19 ft above grade in accordance with the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) standards requiring a minimum
of 18.5 ft between pedestrian bridges and the roadway.The bridge would be supported by
reinforced concrete columns located outside of the public right-of-way on each side of Ellis Avenue.
The bridge would connect to the second-floor level of the new administration building on the north
side of Ellis Avenue and then connect to an elevator tower inside the secure perimeter of Plant
No. 1. Security lighting would be included within the bridge enclosure.
2.3.4 Parking
The proposed Project would include 262 parking spaces within the surface parking lot. While a
majority of parking spaces would be uncovered, some would be covered with overhead canopies
featuring photovoltaic panels.Table A shows the type and number of parking spaces proposed by
the Project.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
The development standards outlined in the Specific Plan require 3.5 parking spaces per 1,000 sf of
building area. As such, the proposed 262 parking spaces are non-compliant with the 365 parking
spaces required by the Specific Plan, and a variance will be requested to account for the reduction in
parking. The Project would also provide 3 motorcycle spaces (1 uncovered and 2 covered) and 13
bicycle parking spaces (all uncovered).
2.3.5 Landscaping
A total of 60,120 sf of landscaping is proposed throughout the Project site.Approximately 187 trees
would be planted as part of Project implementation.Trees would be comprised of a variety of 24-,
36-, 48-, and 72-inch box sizes and would include lemon scented gum (Eucalypts citriodora),African
sumac (Laurus nobilis and Rhus lancea), blue palo Verde (Parkinsonia x, Desert Museum),Torrey pine
(Pinus torreyona), and Southern live oak(Quercus virginiana). A variety of shrubs, vines, and
groundcover would also be planted throughout the Project site.
2.3.6 Construction Schedule
Construction is anticipated to begin in January 2021 and be completed in May 2023.
2.4 PERMITS AND APPROVALS

4.0 ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
This following environmental analysis evaluates the proposed Administrative Headquarters Building
Project, Project No. P1-128 (Project) as compared to the analysis of environmental impacts in the
certified Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan EIR (Specific Plan EIR).The Checklist takes into
consideration the preparation of the previous environmental document and the changes in
circumstances that have occurred subsequent to adoption of the Specific Plan EIR, pursuant to
Public Resources Code Section 21166, and Sections 15162 and 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
The comparative analysis for each of the environmental issues listed in the Checklist provides OCSD
decision-makers with a factual basis for determining whether the proposed Project, changes in
circumstances, or new information since the adoption of the Specific Plan EIR require the
preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR, or other additional environmental review.The
basis for each finding, and the supporting substantial evidence, is explained in the analysis in this
section.

4.1 AESTHETICS
New Significant More Severe No Substantial Change
Impact Impact from Previous Analysis
Would the Project:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ❑ ❑ ❑
b. Substantially damage scenic resources,including,but not
limited to,trees,rock outcroppings,and historic buildings ❑ ❑
within a State Scenic highway?
c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality
of the site and its surroundings?(This may include loss of
major onsite landscape features,or degradation by change ❑ ❑
of character when placed in the context of the existing
surroundings.)
d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which ❑ ❑
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
4.1.1 Existing Setting
The City of Fountain Valley (City) is an urbanized community located within north-central Orange
County.There are no General Plan-designated scenic views or vistas within the City.According to
the Specific Plan EIR,there are no unique or unusual features in the Specific Plan area that comprise
a dominant portion of a viewshed.The Santa Ana and San Gabriel Mountains lie approximately
17 miles and 35 miles north of the Specific Plan area, respectively. However,views to these scenic
resources are substantially limited due to intervening structures and vegetation.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the visual character of the Specific Plan area is dominated by light
industrial uses, with one-to two-story structures setback from wide surface streets and surface
parking lots.The Specific Plan area is relatively flat and gently slopes to the southwest. Individual
parcels typically support established landscaping including shade trees, hedges, grassy lawns, and
other small landscaped areas along the perimeter of properties and throughout surface parking lots.
Some public roadways in the Specific Plan area are developed with sidewalks and street trees.
Mature trees in the Specific Plan area are comprised of street trees in public rights-of-way and those
on private property. Shade and shadow effects are minimal due to the low profile of most
structures. However, even with larger structures, shade and shadow effects are negligible due to the
distance of separation between taller structures from adjacent buildings. Street lighting and
vehicular traffic lights are the predominant source of nighttime light and glare.
Public views within the Specific Plan area are characterized by existing structures, surface parking
lots, and street trees.There are no State-designated scenic highways or eligible scenic highways
within the City or in its immediate vicinity.'

4.1.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Aesthetics impacts on pages 3.1-1
through 3.1-22.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that there are no roadways or areas designated as scenic routes or
vistas within the Specific Plan area.Additionally,there are no designated historic structures within
the Specific Plan area.Views within the Specific Plan area are typical of urbanized light industrial
areas, and there are no unobstructed distant views of scenic natural features.The topography of the
area is relatively flat and does not contain any unique topographic features that would offer a scenic
view.Therefore, no impact would occur to the aesthetics associated with a scenic vista or scenic
highway.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that development of the Specific Plan area could result in the
removal of mature trees due to redevelopment.Typically, redevelopment of parking lots and
buildings would primarily result in removal of trees within each property.As such, street trees are
expected to be minimally impacted.The Specific Plan encourages the preservation of mature trees
and encourages new development to incorporate trees within landscape areas. In addition, Chapter
12.04.040 in the City's Municipal Code contains regulations regarding cutting,trimming, planting,
pruning, removing, injuring, or interfering with trees, shrubs, or plants on streets, parkways, or
public places. Adherence to the City's Municipal Code would assist in limiting the impacts of tree
removal over the long term.Therefore,these impacts would be reduced to a less than significant
level.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Specific Plan would change the existing
visual character of the area because it would facilitate a new four-story development. In existing
conditions,the Specific Plan (SP)—FVCSP Mixed Industry District zone allows for four-story
structures. Future development within the Specific Plan area is subject to a formal development
review process, which requires adherence to development standards provided in the Specific Plan
and operating under the City's General Plan,which would include maintaining and enhancing high-
quality mixed-use development, retaining interesting architectural design elements, and installing
new sidewalks and natural landscaping features.These regulations would ensure that the design of
proposed buildings would enhance the character and quality of the Specific Plan area and contribute
to a high quality urban environment.Thus, with implementation of existing and proposed design
standards from the Specific Plan, the Specific Plan's impacts to visual character would be less than
significant.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Specific Plan could increase the
amount of light and glare in the area because it proposes to increase land use intensity and building
heights and may result in the use of reflective building materials. Development projects under the
Specific Plan would adhere to the Municipal Code Chapter 21.18.060, which implements restrictions
on exterior lighting. In addition,the Specific Plan outlines development standards and design
requirements to reduce potential glare and light spillover from future development projects. As
such, lighting as a result of Specific Plan implementation is anticipated to be compatible with other
uses in the vicinity of the area and would not introduce a substantial new source of nighttime light

pollution.Therefore, impacts related to light and glare from development of the Specific Plan area
were determined to be less than significant.
4.1.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
The Project site is located in a fully developed area in the southeastern portion of Fountain
Valley in Orange County. The Project site is approximately 0.2 mile west of the Santa Ana River
and 5 miles north of the Pacific Ocean, although neither the river nor ocean can be seen from
the Project site due to intervening land uses. In addition, the City's General Plan (adopted March
1995, revised November 2017) does not designate any scenic vistas or resources in Fountain
Valley. As a result,the Project site does not have views of any scenic vistas.Therefore,the
proposed Project would not result in adverse impacts on scenic vistas.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no impacts to scenic vistas would occur.The proposed
Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
b. Would the Project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to,trees,
rock outcroppings,and historic buildings within a State Scenic highway?
The Project site is currently occupied by five industrial warehouse buildings and does not
contain any scenic resources or historic structures. In addition,the Project site does not provide
scenic views from adjacent land uses or public roads or sidewalks. According to the California
Scenic Highway Mapping System,there are no State-designated scenic highways or eligible
scenic highways within the City or in the immediate vicinity. Although the Project may require
removal of trees located on the property,the Project would adhere to Chapter 12.04.040 in the
City's Municipal Code and intends to comply with design standards in the Specific Plan.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in adverse impacts on scenic resources.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that impacts to scenic resources would be less than
significant. Specifically,the removal of mature trees that would occur as a result of
implementation of the Specific Plan would be less than significant with compliance with design
standards in the Specific Plan and adherence to Chapter 12.04.040 in the City's Municipal Code.
The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area,would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
c. Would the Project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and
its surroundings? (This may include loss of major onsite landscape features, or degradation by
change of character when placed in the context of the existing surroundings.)
The vicinity of the Project site is characterized by a mix of industrial and residential land uses.
The Project site is currently developed with one-and two-story industrial warehouse buildings

and surface parking lots.The Project would include demolition of the five existing on-site
industrial warehouse buildings and construction and operation of a new three-story
administration building and surface parking lot on the Project site. In addition, a pedestrian
bridge would extend from the Project site to OCSD's Plant No. 1, directly south of the Project
site.The bridge would consist of two painted exposed Warren steel trusses spanning Ellis
Avenue with a concrete metal deck floor and a metal roof.The bridge would be unconditioned
and open to the air, as well as enclosed with stainless steel cable mesh for protection from any
potential falls.The tallest point of the bridge structure would be a maximum of 30 ft above
grade, and the lowest point of the structure would be a minimum of 19 ft above grade.The
bridge would be supported by reinforced concrete columns located outside of the public right-
of-way on each side of Ellis Avenue. The bridge would connect to the second-floor level of the
new administration building on the north side of Ellis Avenue and then connect to an elevator
tower inside the secure perimeter of Plant No. 1. Security lighting would be included within the
bridge enclosure.The pedestrian bridge would be designed architecturally similarly to the
administration building. As such, the visual character of the site and views of the Project site
from off-site areas would substantially change with implementation of the proposed Project.
However,the Project would enhance the character and quality of the Project site and
surrounding area by introducing updated buildings in place of the dated structures. In addition,
the Project would comply with many development standards outlined in Section 2.1.5 of the
Specific Plan, which includes regulations pertaining to building scale, mass, placement, and
architectural guidelines. At three stories in height, the Project would be consistent with
development standards outlined in the Specific Plan, which allows up to four stories in height.
The proposed Project would require the following variances and deviations: variances for
frontage coverage along Pacific Street and Bandilier Circle; a variance for build-to-corner
requirements at the corner of Ellis Avenue and Bandilier Circle; a variance for parking count
requirements; a variance for curb cuts and driveways along Pacific Street; a 5.5 percent
deviation due to the proposed 18.9 percent street fa4ade opening along Pacific Street(which is
below the minimum 20 percent street fagade opening); a variance for bottom-floor street
fagade requirements along Pacific Street; and a 2.1 percent deviation due to the proposed
building length of approximately 204 ft (which exceeds the maximum building length of 200 ft.
The proposed Project would comply with all other development standards outlined in 2.1.5 of
the Specific Plan.Therefore, with the approval of the above variances and deviations,the
proposed Project would result in less than significant impacts related to the visual character of
the site and views of the site.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that impacts to visual character would be less than
significant because development standards outlined in the Specific Plan would enhance the
character and quality of the Specific Plan area.The proposed Project, which is located within the
Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
d. Would the Project create anew source of substantial light or glare which would adversely
affect day or nighttime views in the area?

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
Light and glare levels surrounding the Project site are typical for industrial park and residential
uses. However, the Project would include the installation of new lighting, including lighting
associated with signage and security lighting on the Project site. It is not anticipated that the
new pedestrian bridge would be lighted since there is sufficient existing street lighting along Ellis
Avenue.The Project intends to comply with requirements outlined in the Specific Plan, as well
as Section 21.18.060 of the City's Municipal Code,which include regulations pertaining to
exterior lighting and glare.Therefore, new sources of light and glare associated with the
proposed Project would have less than significant impacts to views in the Project area.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that impacts as a result of light and glare would be less than
significant because future development would be in compliance with design standards in the
Specific Plan and adherence to Chapter 12.18.060 in the City's Municipal Code.The proposed
Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
4.1.3.1 Mitigation Measures
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to Aesthetics. No mitigation would be
required for the proposed Project.
4.1.4 Findings Related to Aesthetics
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Aesthetics, and there is no substantial increase in the severity of impacts described in the
Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Aesthetics that would require major changes to the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Aesthetics requiring major revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Aesthetics. CEQA
does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration of additional
mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or reduce related
to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

4.2 AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY
In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, Lead Agencies
may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the
California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and
farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland,are significant
environmental effects, Lead Agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the State's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range
Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project;and forest carbon measurement methodology
provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not result in impacts
to agricultural and forestry resources because these uses do not currently exist within Specific Plan
area.The developed nature of the Specific Plan area, including the Project site and Project vicinity,
does not make the area suitable for existing or future agricultural or forest land uses.
4.2.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland,or Farmland of Statewide
Importance(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping
and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,to non-agricultural use?
The Project site, like most of Orange County, is in an area that has been designated as Urban
and Built-Up Land by the DOC(2016).The Project site is not currently designated as Prime
Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. As a result,the proposed
Project would not impact designated farmlands.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no impacts to designated farmlands would occur. The
proposed Project,which is located within the Specific Plan area,would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
b. Would the Project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use,or a Williamson Act
contract?
Within the Specific Plan area,the Project site is designated Mixed Industry District.The Project
site is designated Industrial (Commercial Manufacturing) in the City's General Plan and is zoned
as Specific Plan (SP)—FVCSP Mixed Industry District.The Project site is not zoned or currently
used for agricultural purposes, and no Williamson Act contracts are in effect for the Project site.
As a result, the proposed Project would not conflict with existing zoning or Williamson Act
contracts.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no conflicts with existing zoning or Williamson Act
contracts would occur.The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area,
would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new
mitigation measures are required.
c. Would the Project conflict with existing zoning for,or cause rezoning of,forest land (as
defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)),timberland (as defined by Public
Resources Code section 4526),or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by
Government Code section 51104(g))?
Within the Specific Plan area,the Project site is designated Mixed Industry District.The Project
site is designated Industrial (Commercial Manufacturing) in the City's General Plan and is zoned
as Specific Plan (SP)—FVCSP Mixed Industry District.The Project site and the surrounding area

are not zoned as forest land,timberland, or timberland production, and consequently, no
significant impacts would occur.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no conflicts with existing zoning of forestland,
timberland, or timberland production would occur.The proposed Project, which is located
within the Specific Plan area,would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified
in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
d. Would the Project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest
use?
The Project site is located in a high-density urban setting. No forest or timberland exists at the
Project site or in the surrounding area.The Project would not result in the loss of forest land or
the conversion of forest land to non-forest use.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to
non-forest use would occur.The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan
area,would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new
mitigation measures are required.
e. Would the Project involve other changes in the existing environment,which,due to their
location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forestland to non-forest use?
The Project site is developed with five industrial warehouse buildings.The Project site is not
currently used for agricultural purposes and is adjacent to non-agricultural, manufacturing uses.
The Project would not result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use because there
are no agricultural uses on or in the immediate vicinity of the Project site. As a result, the Project
would not result in impacts related to the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural
uses.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use would
not occur because there are no agricultural uses on or in the immediate vicinity of the Specific
Plan area.The proposed Project,which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result
in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
4.2.3.1 Mitigation Measures
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to agricultural and forestry resources. No
mitigation would be required for the proposed Project.

4.2.4 Findings Related to Agricultural and Forestry Resources
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Agricultural and Forestry Resources, and there is no increase in the severity of impacts
described in the Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Agricultural and Forestry Resources that would require major changes
to the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Agricultural and Forestry Resources requiring major revisions
to the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Agriculture and
Forestry. CEQA does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration of
additional mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or
reduce related to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

Would the Project:
a. Conflict or obstruct implementation of the applicable air ❑ ❑

b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially ❑ ❑
to an existing or projected air quality violation?

air quality standard?This includes releasing emissions
which exceed quantitative standards for ozone precursors.

4.3.1 Existing Setting
The proposed Project is located within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin).The South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) is the regional government agency that monitors and regulates air
pollution within the Basin.The Federal Clean Air Act and the California Clean Air Act mandate the
control and reduction of specific air pollutants. Under these Acts, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) have established ambient air quality
standards for specific "criteria" pollutants, designed to protect public health and welfare. Primary
criteria pollutants include carbon monoxide (CO), reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrogen oxides
(NOx), particulate matter(PM1o), sulfur dioxide (S02), and lead (Pb). Secondary criteria pollutants
include ozone (03), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5).These ambient air quality standards are
levels of contaminants that avoid specific adverse health effects associated with each criteria
pollutant.
Based on the SCAQMD attainment status and ambient air quality monitoring data, ambient air
quality in the vicinity of the Project site has basically remained unchanged since approval of the
Specific Plan EIR.The SCAQMD is in nonattainment for the federal and State standards for 03 and
PM2.5. In addition,the Basin is in nonattainment for the PM10 standard and in attainment/
maintenance for the federal PM1o, CO, and NO2 standards.
To meet these standards, the SCAQMD has established project-level thresholds for volatile organic
compounds (VOC), NOx, and PM2.5.The SCAQMD has established thresholds of significance for
criteria pollutant emissions generated during both construction and operation of projects as shown
in Table C below.
Projects in the Basin with construction-related emissions that exceed any of the emission thresholds
above are considered potentially significant by the SCAQMD.

4.3.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Air Quality impacts on pages 3.2-1
through 3.2-31.
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated the potential impacts of the Specific Plan on air quality in the Specific
Plan area and the Basin.The Specific Plan EIR determined that all construction occurring under the
Specific Plan would occur in accordance with applicable regulations and plans to reduce emissions
from construction activities, including SCAQMD Rule 403, SCAQMD Rule 1113, and SCAQMD Rule
1186.The Specific Plan EIR also quantified construction emissions associated with the Specific Plan
using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) and determined that overall
construction emissions would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for VOC, NOx, CO, S02, PM10, or PM2.5•
The Specific Plan EIR also evaluated daily operational emissions associated with the Specific Plan
using CaIEEMod.The CaIEEMod analysis included the existing development as part of the baseline,
and evaluated the potential operational impacts of proposed land use changes within the Specific
Plan area.The Specific Plan's net emissions were compared to the SCAQMD thresholds, and impacts
were determined to be below the thresholds.Therefore,the Specific Plan EIR determined
operational air quality impacts would be less than significant.
In addition, the Specific Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Specific Plan would not
conflict with or obstruct implementation of the SCAQMD's adopted 2016 Air Quality Management
Plan (AQMP).The Specific Plan EIR also determined that construction and operation of the Specific
Plan would result in a less than significant cumulative impact.
The Specific Plan EIR found that the Specific Plan has the potential to expose sensitive land uses
(e.g., residential units) to substantial pollutant concentrations.Therefore,the Specific Plan EIR
identified Mitigation Measures MM AQ-5a, MM AQ-5b, and MM AQ-5d through MM AQ-5f to
reduce adverse effects for sensitive receptors within 500 ft of the I-405 freeway and/or for sensitive
receptors near the potential development of a distribution center, rail yard, refinery, chrome plater,
dry cleaning operation, or gas station.The Specific Plan EIR determined that these mitigation
measures would ensure the potential for exposure of hazardous air emissions to sensitive receptors
would be reviewed and project designs revised if necessary to address air quality issues. Further,
MM AQ-5c, which is applicable to all projects in the Specific Plan area, would reduce air quality

impacts resulting from the placement of the air system intake. Therefore, after implementation of
mitigation, it was determined that impacts related to the exposure of sensitive land uses to
substantial pollution concentrations would be less than significant.
In addition, the Specific Plan EIR determined that impacts associated with construction-and
operation-generated odors would be less than significant.
4.3.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project conflict or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
An AQMP describes air pollution control strategies to be undertaken by a city, county, or air
quality management district in a region classified as a nonattainment area to meet the
requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act.The main purpose of an AQMP is to bring an area into
compliance with the requirements of federal and State ambient air quality standards (AAQSs).
The applicable air quality plan is the SCAQMD's adopted 2016 AQMP. For a project to be
consistent with the 2016 AQMP,the pollutants emitted from project operation should not
exceed the SCAQMD daily threshold or cause a significant impact on air quality, or the project
must already have been included in the AQMP projection. Because the AQMP is based on local
General Plans, projects that are deemed consistent with a specific General Plan are usually
found to be consistent with the AQMP.
The proposed Project would construct a new administration building and associated parking.
The Project site is in the Specific Plan area and is designated Commercial Manufacturing in the
City's General Plan and is zoned as Specific Plan (SP)— FVCSP Mixed Industry District.As
discussed in Section 3.11, Land Use and Planning,the proposed Project land use is consistent
with the City's General Plan designation for the Project site. In addition, as discussed below,
construction of the proposed Project would not result in the generation of criteria air pollutants
that would exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance. Operational emissions associated with
the proposed Project would not exceed SCAQMD established significance thresholds for VOC,
NOx, CO, S02, PM1o, or PM2.5 emissions. Therefore, the proposed Project would not conflict with
or obstruct implementation of the 2016 AQMP.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no impacts would occur related to conflicts with or
obstruction to implementation of the 2016 AQMP. Similarly,the proposed Project, which is
located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
b. Would the Project violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation?
The following sections describe the proposed Project's construction-and operation-related air
quality impacts.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
Construction Emissions. Construction activities such as earthmoving and construction vehicle
traffic would generate exhaust emissions and fugitive particulate matter emissions that affect
local and regional air quality. Construction activities are also a source of organic gas emissions.
Solvents in adhesives, non-water-based paints,thinners, some insulating materials, and caulking
materials would evaporate into the atmosphere and would participate in the photochemical
reaction that creates urban ozone.Asphalt used in paving is also a source of organic gases for a
short time after its application. Construction dust could affect local air quality at various times
during construction of the Project.The dry, windy climate of the area during the summer
months creates a high potential for dust generation when, and if, underlying materials are
exposed to the atmosphere.The effects of construction activities would be increased dustfall
and locally elevated levels of particulate matter downwind of construction activity.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that construction emissions associated with construction of
the Specific Plan would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for VOC, NOx, CO, S02, PM1o, or PM2.5. In
addition, the Specific Plan EIR determined that all construction occurring under the Specific Plan
would occur in accordance with applicable regulations and plans to reduce emissions from
construction activities, including SCAQMD Rule 403, SCAQMD Rule 1113, and SCAQMD Rule
1186.
As previously stated, based on the SCAQMD attainment status and ambient air quality
monitoring data, ambient air quality in the vicinity of the Project site has basically remained
unchanged since approval of the Specific Plan EIR. Construction emissions were estimated for
the proposed Project using CaIEEMod. Specific construction details are not yet known;
therefore, default assumptions (e.g., construction fleet activities)from CalEEMod were used.
Construction of the proposed Project is anticipated to begin in January 2021 and be completed
in May 2023. In addition, construction of the proposed Project would include the demolition of
five industrial warehouse buildings on site,totaling approximately 113,748 sf, which was
included in CaIEEMod. Construction of the proposed Project would be required to comply with
SCAQMD Rule 403, Fugitive Dust; therefore,fugitive dust control measures were also included in
CaIEEMod. Peak daily construction-related emissions are presented in Table D, below. CalEEMod
output sheets are provided in Appendix A.
As shown in Table D, construction emissions associated with the proposed Project would be less
than significant for VOC, NOx, CO, S02, PM2.5,and PM10 emissions. In addition, the proposed
Project would also be required to comply with the applicable regulations and plans to reduce
emissions from construction activities, including SCAQMD Rule 403, SCAQMD Rule 1113, and
SCAQMD Rule 1186.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that construction emissions associated with construction of
the Specific Plan would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for VOC, NOx, CO, S02, PM1o, or PM2.5.
In addition, the Specific Plan EIR determined that all construction occurring under the Specific
Plan would occur in accordance with applicable regulations and plans to reduce emissions
from construction activities, including SCAQMD Rule 403, SCAQMD Rule 1113, and SCAQMD
Rule 1186. Development of the proposed Project would result in similar, but fewer,
construction-related, short-term air quality impacts to those identified in the Specific Plan EIR.

Therefore,the proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result
in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new
mitigation measures are required.
Operational Emissions.The proposed Project would include construction and operation of a
new administration building and surface parking lot and would relocate the existing
administrative uses from Plant No. 1 to the Project site north of Ellis Avenue. Implementation of
the proposed Project would not result in an increase in OCSD employees because the Project is
characterized as a relocation, rather than an expansion, of existing operations. As a result,the
Project would not increase existing vehicle trips.The new land uses would result area source air
impacts such as emissions generated from the use of landscaping equipment and water heating.
Emission estimates for operation of the proposed Project were calculated using CaIEEMod,
consistent with SCAQMD recommendations.The proposed Project would be designed to
achieve United States Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) Platinum Certification, which was reflected in CalEEMod inputs. Model results are shown
in Table E. CaIEEMod output sheets are provided in Appendix A.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
The primary emissions associated with the Project are regional in nature, meaning that air
pollutants are rapidly dispersed on release.The daily emissions associated with Project
operational trip generation, energy, and area sources are identified in Table E for VOC, NOx, CO,
S02, PM1o, and PM2.5. Further, MM AQ-5c, which is applicable to all projects in the Specific Plan
area,would reduce operational air quality impacts resulting from the placement of the air
system intake.Therefore, with implementation of MM AQ-5c, operational impacts would be less
than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that operational emissions associated with the Specific Plan
would not exceed the SCAQMD significance thresholds and, therefore, would result in a less
than significant impact. In addition, the Specific Plan EIR analysis assumed that the Specific Plan
area was emitting operational air pollutant emissions from its existing land uses and evaluated
existing development as part of the baseline.The Specific Plan EIR focused operational impacts
to proposed land use changes that alter build out, and therefore, determined that
implementation of the Specific Plan would result in a net decrease in VOC, NOx, CO, and S02
emissions. For a worst-case analysis, existing on-site industrial warehouse buildings were
evaluated as vacant as part of the baseline. However, as shown in Table E above,the proposed
Project would not exceed the significance criteria for daily VOC, NOx, CO, S02, PM1o, or PM2.5
emissions;therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond
those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
c. Would the Project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase to any criteria pollutant
for which the Project region is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient
air quality standard?This includes releasing emissions which exceed quantitative standards
for ozone precursors.
As indicated in Table E above, the proposed Project individually would not result in significant
regional emissions for criteria pollutants.A project that would result in less than significant
emissions at the individual project level would also result in less than significant cumulative
emissions. As noted above,the proposed Project would also be consistent with the region's
2016 AQM P.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Specific Plan would not result in a
cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is
nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard (including
releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors). Similarly, the
proposed Project would not result in emissions that are cumulatively significant and,therefore,
would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new
mitigation measures are required.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT 4 i2
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
d. Would the Project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
As discussed in the Specific Plan EIR,the CARB guidebook,Air Quality and Land Use Handbook:A
Community Health Perspective,' recommends avoiding siting sensitive uses (e.g., residences,
schools, day care centers, playgrounds, and hospitals)within 500 ft of a freeway or urban roads
carrying 100,000 vehicles per day, or within 1,000 ft of a distribution center(warehouse)that
accommodates more than 100 trucks or more than 90 refrigerator trucks per day. In addition,
the Specific Plan EIR identified Mitigation Measures MM AQ-5a, MM AQ-5b, and MM AQ-5d
through MM AQ-5f to reduce adverse effects for sensitive receptors within 500 ft of the I-405
freeway and/or for sensitive receptors near the potential development of a distribution center,
rail yard, refinery, chrome plater, dry cleaning operation, or gas station.The Specific Plan EIR
determined that after mitigation, residual impacts related to the exposure of sensitive land uses
to substantial pollution concentrations would be less than significant.
The closest sensitive receptors to the Project site include the single-family residences located
approximately 1,350 ft southeast of the Project site along Alabama Circle. Construction activities
associated with the Project would generate airborne particles and fugitive dust, as well as a
small quantity of pollutants associated with the use of construction equipment (e.g., diesel-
fueled vehicles and equipment) on a short-term basis.As shown in Table D, construction would
generate emissions that are well below the SCAQMD significance criteria. In addition, due to the
distance of the nearest receptors from the Project construction area, Project construction
emissions would not impact sensitive receptors.
The proposed Project would include a new administration building and associated parking, and,
therefore,the proposed Project would not include new sensitive receptors. Once the proposed
Project is constructed,the Project would not be a source of substantial toxic air contaminant
(TAC) emissions. In addition, the nearest sensitive receptors are located approximately 1,350 ft
from the Project site, and, therefore, sensitive receptors would not be exposed to substantial
pollutant concentrations that would cause harmful effects. Because no sensitive receptors
would be impacted by TACs associated with the proposed Project, Mitigation Measures MM AQ-
5a, MM AQ-5b, and MM AQ-5d through MM AQ-5f would not be applicable to the proposed
Project.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that after mitigation, residual impacts related to the exposure
of sensitive land uses to substantial pollution concentrations would be less than significant.
However,the proposed Project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations that would cause harmful effects.Therefore,the proposed Project would not
result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation
measures are required.

e. Would the Project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
During construction,the various diesel-powered vehicles and equipment in use on site would
create localized odors.These odors would be temporary and are not likely to be noticeable for
extended periods of time beyond the Project site.The potential for diesel odor impacts is,
therefore, considered less than significant.Additionally,the proposed uses that would be
developed within the Project site are not expected to produce any offensive odors that would
result in frequent odor complaints.The proposed Project would not include sensitive receptors;
therefore, odor impacts on the Project would not occur and do not require further evaluation.
Therefore,this impact would be less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR also determined that impacts associated with construction-and operation-
generated odors would be less than significant. The proposed Project, which is located within the
Specific Plan area and does not propose uses that would produce offensive odors, would not
result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
4.3.3.1 Mitigation Measures
Based on the analysis and information above, Mitigation Measures MM AQ-5a, MM AQ-5b, and MM
AQ-5d through MM AQ-5f, included in the Specific Plan EIR, would not be applicable to the
proposed Project because the proposed Project would not include new sensitive receptors within
500 ft of the 1-405 freeway, would not include any distribution center, rail yard, refinery, chrome
plater, dry cleaning operation, or gas station uses, and would not impact any existing off-site
sensitive receptors to TACs associated with the proposed Project.
Based on the analysis contained in the Initial Study/Addendum, Mitigation Measure MM AQ-5c,
included in the Specific Plan EIR,would be applicable to the proposed Project. No additional
mitigation measures related to air quality beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR are
required.
MM AQ-5c Placement of Air System Intake. When considering placement and direction of air
intakes,the direction of prevailing winds shall be considered and the most logical
decision shall be made. Design of the proposed development shall face air systems
intakes appropriately, so as to reduce highly concentrated air pollution intake,
considering placement on the opposite side of the building from the pollutant
source. Development and HVAC system design shall be reviewed and approved by
the City Planning and Building Department prior to issuance of a building permit.
Monitoring and maintenance of HVAC systems and air intakes shall be conducted by
the Applicant on a semiannual basis to ensure efficiency of the systems for
development permits involving land uses that include or potentially affect sensitive
populations.

4.3.4 Findings Related to Air Quality
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Air Quality, and there is no substantial increase in the severity of impacts described in the
Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Air Quality that would require major changes to the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Air Quality requiring major revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. This
Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information and has determined that there is no new
information of substantial importance that was unknown and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Specific Plan EIR was certified indicating that: (1)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible,
and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the Project
proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or (2) mitigation measures or
alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Project proponent
declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
As discussed above,the proposed Project would result in a potentially significant impact related to
Air Quality. Mitigation was included in the Specific Plan EIR and adopted at the time the EIR was
certified.The mitigation measure that is applicable to the proposed Project is listed in Section
4.3.3.1. Potential Project impacts related to Air Quality would be reduced below a level of
significance with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, none of which the Project
proponent is declining to adopt.

and immediate vicinity. No native habitats or open space areas occur within the Specific Plan area.
Although the Santa Ana River's west bank is adjacent to the Specific Plan area, this portion of the
river is extensively channelized with concrete embankments, and it functions for both flood control
and waste drainage purposes.The Santa Ana River drains to the Pacific Ocean in the City of Newport
Beach. Similarly, the Fountain Valley Channel (Channel), which runs through the west portion of the
Specific Plan area, contains concrete embankments and is not associated with any riparian habitat
areas.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the Specific Plan area supports a number of healthy, mature
trees,which provide some habitat for both resident and migratory native and non-native bird
species as well as small mammals. Chapter 12.04.040 of the City's Municipal Code contains
regulations regarding cutting,trimming, planting, pruning, removing, injuring, or interfering with
trees, shrubs, or plants on streets, parkways, or public places. Established landscapes in this urban
setting consist predominantly of non-native plant and tree species, which provide habitat for some

species, primarily birds. However,the Specific Plan area does not support any designated or
recognized sensitive habitats or mapped critical habitat for any species identified as a candidate,
sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS).The Specific Plan area, including the Project site, is not known to support endangered
species, nor does it contain sensitive habitat area that would support those species.
4.4.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
Biological Resources are included within Section 4.3, Effects Found Not to be Significant, on pages 4-
5 through 4-6 of the Specific Plan EIR;this topic was also discussed on pages 24 through 27 of the
Initial Study and was scoped out.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would result in less than
significant impacts to biological resources because the Specific Plan area is fully urbanized and does
not contain potential natural habitats for sensitive species and other natural communities. Further,
implementation of the Specific Plan would incorporate and be consistent with existing policies
regarding the protection of biological resources, and therefore, would not significantly impact
biological resources.
4.4.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications,on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive,or special status species in
local or regional plans, policies,or regulations,or by the California Department of Fish and
Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
The Project site is in an urbanized area surrounded by existing urban and suburban land uses. In
addition, the improvements associated with the Project would not have the capacity to
significantly affect sensitive biological resources given the amount of previous development that
has occurred in the vicinity and on the Project site. Project construction and operation would
have no impacts either directly or through habitat modification to any species identified as a
candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations,
or by the CDFW or the USFWS. No impacts to these resources are anticipated as a result of the
Project.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no impacts to any species identified as a candidate,
sensitive, or special-status species would occur because the Specific Plan area is fully urbanized
and does not contain potential natural habitats for sensitive species.The Project site is located
within the Specific Plan area and would likewise not impact sensitive species or habitats.The
proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.

PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
b. Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive
natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
The Project site does not support any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities
identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the CDFW or the USFWS. No
impacts to these resources are anticipated as a result of the Project.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the Specific Plan area is fully urbanized and does not
include any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities.The proposed Project,which
is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
c. Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(including, but not limited to, marsh,vernal
pool,coastal, etc.)through direct removal,filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
No federally protected wetlands would be affected by the proposed Project.Therefore, no
impacts to these resources are anticipated as a result of the Project. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the Specific Plan area is fully urbanized and does not
contain any federally protected wetlands. Intensification of use as a result of implementation of
the Specific Plan could potentially increase the amount of pollutants, such as leaked oil,that
could enter stormwater runoff, impacting the quality of water that flows from the Specific Plan
area and ultimately to the Pacific Ocean. However, implementation of the Specific Plan would
result in less than significant impacts to biological resources as a result of impacts to water
quality because the Specific Plan would comply with existing federal, state, and local water
quality regulations.The proposed Project,which is located within the Specific Plan area,would
not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new
mitigation measures are required.
d. Would the Project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or
migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
The proposed Project site is not located in a migratory wildlife corridor or native wildlife nursery
site.The existing trees on the Project site may, however, provide suitable habitat for nesting
migratory birds.The removal of trees on the Project site has the potential to impact active bird
nests if vegetation and trees are removed during the nesting season. Nesting birds are protected
under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act(MBTA) (Title 33, United States Code [USC], Section
703 et seq.; see also Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations [CFR], Part 10) and Section 3503 of the
California Fish and Game Code.Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would be
subject to the provisions of the MBTA, which prohibits disturbing or destroying active nests. In
4-22
P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx(12/20/19)
INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
order to comply with the META, Project implementation must be accomplished in a manner that
avoids impacts to active nests during the breeding season. If Project construction occurs
between February 1 and September 15, a qualified biologist would conduct a nesting bird survey
prior to ground-and/or vegetation-disturbing activities to confirm the absence of nesting birds.
Compliance with the MBTA is required for Project implementation, and therefore, does not
constitute mitigation. With compliance with the MBTA, impacts to nesting birds would be less
than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not
interfere with migratory fish or birds. No fish species are known to occur in the portion of the
Channel that is located in Specific Plan area.Although street trees may serve as wildlife
corridors,the distance between major open space areas limit the use of the area as a wildlife
corridor for most species other than birds. In addition,the Specific Plan would protect and
maintain street trees where possible. The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific
Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific
Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and
no new mitigation measures are required.
e. Would the Project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological
resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
Chapter 12.04.040 of the City's Municipal Code requires that no person or development shall
engage in the planting, trimming, cutting, or removal of any vegetation along any streets,
parkways, or public spaces without prior approval from the City's Public Works Department. The
proposed Project would comply with all City policies and regulations protecting biological
resources.Therefore,the proposed Project would not conflict with any plan, policy, or
ordinance relating to the protection of biological resources, and the impact would be less than
significant.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not conflict
with any plan, policy, or ordinance relating to the protection of biological resources. Further, the
Specific Plan would incorporate and be consistent with existing policies regarding the protection
of biological resources.The proposed Project,which is located within the Specific Plan area,
would also incorporate and be consistent with existing policies regarding the protection of
biological resources and would,therefore, not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR. No new mitigation measures are required.
f. Would the Project conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,
Natural Community Conservation Plan,or other approved local, regional,or state habitat
conservation plan?
The County of Orange has approved a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and a Natural
Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), but the City has not enrolled in such plans and is not
included in the planning area covered by these plans. Consequently,the Project will not conflict
with any such plans. While no designated HCP or NCCP exists in the Project area,the Project

P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx a12/20/19»
ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
would comply with all City policies and regulations protecting biological resources.Therefore,
the proposed Project would not conflict with any HCP or NCCP or other local, regional, or State
HCPs.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that the Specific plan area does not include any habitat
areas that are protected by an approved local, regional, or state HCP or NCCP.The proposed
Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
4.4.3.1 Mitigation Measures
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to Biological Resources. No mitigation
would be required for the proposed Project.
4.4.4 Findings Related to Biological Resources
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Biological Resources, and there is no increase in the severity of impacts described in the
Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Biological Resources that would require major changes to the Specific
Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Biological Resources requiring major revisions to the Specific
Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Biological
Resources. CEQA does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration of
additional mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or
reduce related to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

archaeological resource pursuant to§15064.5?
c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological ❑ ❑
resource or site or unique geologic feature?
d. Disturb any human remains,including those interred ❑ ❑
outside of formal cemeteries?
4.5.1 Existing Setting
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the City is located in the Santa Ana Valley-Capistrano Valley
Province, which is a lowland strip separating the coastal hills from the Santa Ana Mountains.This
province includes the flood plain of the northern segment of the Santa Ana River where it flows
through the City.The geology in this area does not contain abundant paleontological resources.
Fossils primarily consist of non-marine species from the Pleistocene and Holocene ages, including
mammoth, bison, horse, camel, sloth, and a variety of birds.
The Specific Plan area was largely developed in the 1970s and primarily consists of industrial uses.
The City's General Plan does not contain a Historic Preservation Element, and no historic or older
structures are known to be located within the Specific Plan area. Although the area has been heavily
developed, subsurface archaeological or paleontological resources that have not been previously
evaluated could potentially exist within the Specific Plan area, including the Project site.
4.5.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
Cultural Resources are included within Section 4.3, Effects Found Not to be Significant, on pages 4-6
through 4-7 of the Specific Plan EIR; this topic was also discussed on pages 27 through 29 of the
Initial Study and was scoped out.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that redevelopment activities associated with implementation of
the Specific Plan would occur in previously disturbed areas, so it is unlikely that cultural resources
would be encountered. However, the potential remains that previously undiscovered resources
could be exposed during construction activities.The Specific Plan EIR concluded that inclusion of
standard conditions during discretionary project review and approval, including compliance with the
State CEQA Guidelines relating to protocols for discovery of important historic and pre-historic
resources, would ensure that potential impacts to such resources would be reduced to a less than
significant level.Therefore, based on the limited potential for undiscovered cultural resources to
exist within the Specific Plan area and existing procedure requirements regulating the discovery of
buried resources, impacts on cultural resources would be less than significant.

PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
4.5.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical
resource as defined in §15064.5?
CEQA defines a "historical resource" as a resource that meets one or more of the following
criteria: (1) listed in, or determined eligible for listing in,the California Register of Historical
Resources; (2) listed in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources
Code (PRC) Section 5020.1(k); (3) identified as significant in a historical resource survey meeting
the requirements of PRC Section 5024.1(g); or(4) determined to be a historical resource by a
project's Lead Agency (PRC Section 21084.1 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5[a]).
In its existing condition, the Project site includes five one-and two-story industrial warehouse
buildings that were constructed in 1971.The Project would include the demolition of the five
existing industrial warehouse buildings on the Project site.The City's General Plan does not
contain a Historic Preservation Element and does not provide criteria for identification of
potential historic resources. Based on the analysis contained in the Specific Plan EIR,there are
no historic structures located within the Specific Plan area. A Historic Resources Assessment
(ESA 2018) was prepared for OCSD's Plant No. 1 and included a records search at the California
Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) South Central Coastal Information Center
(SCCIC), conducted on August 23, 2017.According to the Historic Resources Assessment, Plant
No. 1 and adjacent properties, which include the Project site, are not eligible for inclusion in the
National Register of Historic Places (National Register),the California Register of Historical
Resources (California Register), or the Statewide Historical Resources Inventory(HRI) database
maintained by the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). As a result, the Project will
not cause a substantial change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section
15064.5.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the Specific Plan area does not include any historic or older
structures.The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result
in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
b. Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological
resource pursuant to§15064.5?
According to the Specific Plan EIR, soils within the Specific Plan area consist of approximately 80
percent Hueneme fine sandy loam, drained, and 20 percent Metz loamy sand, moderately fine
substratum. In its existing state, the Project site is developed with industrial uses and associated
paved surface parking lots.The Project site has been previously disturbed and significantly
altered as a result of past construction activities on the site.
The proposed Project would include the demolition of five existing industrial warehouse
buildings on the Project site. Soils on the Project site have been disturbed previously from
development of the existing warehouse buildings, and any unknown archaeological resources

ItA
INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT 4 i2
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
would have likely been unearthed at the time of previous activities on the Project site. New
ground-disturbing activities associated with Project construction activities are unlikely to disturb
any previously unknown archaeological resources. In the unlikely event that previously
undiscovered archaeological resources are found, implementation of standard conditions
required by the City of Fountain Valley, including compliance with State CEQA Guidelines Section
15064.5(f) relating to provisions for the accidental discovery of important historic or unique
archaeological resources, would ensure that potential impacts to previously undiscovered
archaeological resources would be less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the presence of cultural resources in the Specific Plan area
is unlikely due to the developed nature of the area. Additionally, the Specific Plan EIR
determined that adherence to City of Fountain Valley standard conditions related to the
unanticipated discovery of archaeological resources would ensure that impacts to cultural
resources would be less than significant should any be recovered within the Specific Plan area.
The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area,would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
c. Would the Project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or
unique geologic feature?
Similar to Response 4.5.3 (b), the Project site has been previously disturbed and significantly
altered as a result of past construction activities on the site. Due to the developed nature of the
site and surrounding area, it is likely that any unknown paleontological resources would have
been unearthed at the time of previous activities on the Project site.
The Project would include the demolition of five existing industrial warehouse buildings on the
Project site. Soils on the Project site have been disturbed previously from development of the
existing industrial warehouse buildings, and any unknown paleontological resources would have
likely been unearthed at the time of previous activities on the site. New ground-disturbing
activities associated with Project construction activities are unlikely to disturb any previously
unknown paleontological resources. In the unlikely event paleontological resources are
encountered during project excavation, compliance with standard conditions required by the
City of Fountain Valley for protection of such resources would ensure that impacts to unknown
paleontological resources would be less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the Specific Plan area does not contain abundant
paleontological resources.Additionally,the Specific Plan EIR determined that adherence to City
of Fountain Valley standard conditions related to the unanticipated discovery of paleontological
resources would ensure that impacts to paleontological resources would be less than significant
should any be recovered within the Specific Plan area.The proposed Project, which is located
within the Specific Plan area,would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified
in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.

d. Would the Project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal
cemeteries?
No known human remains are interred on the Project site. Due to the level of past disturbance
on the Project site, it is not anticipated that human remains, including those interred outside of
formal cemeteries, would be encountered during earth removal or disturbance activities. In the
unlikely event that human remains are encountered during Project grading,the proper
authorities would be notified and standard procedures for the respectful handling of human
remains during the earthmoving activities would be adhered to in compliance with State Health
and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and PRC Section 5097.98. Following compliance with existing
State regulations, impacts to unknown human remains would be considered less than
significant.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the Specific Plan area does not likely contain any
undiscovered human remains. Additionally, the Specific Plan EIR determined that compliance
with State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and PRC Section 5097.98 would ensure that
impacts to human remains would be less than significant should any be recovered within the
Specific Plan area.The proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond
those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.

Would the Project:
a. Use large amounts of fuel or energy in an unnecessary, ❑ ❑
wasteful,or inefficient manner.
b. Constrain local or regional energy supplies,affect peak and
base periods of electrical demand,require or result in the
construction of new electrical generation and/or ❑ ❑

existing facilities,the construction of which could cause
significant environmental effects.
c. Conflict with existing energy standards,including standards ❑ ❑
for energy conservation.
4.6.1 Existing Setting
This section evaluates the potential for energy-related impacts associated with the Project and ways
in which the Project would reduce unnecessary energy consumption, consistent with the
suggestions contained in Appendix F of the State CEQA Guidelines. Energy service providers to the
site include Southern California Edison (SCE)for electrical service and Southern California Gas
Company(SCG)for natural gas.
4.6.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Energy Conservation impacts on pages
3.13-1 through 3.13-12.
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated issues related to energy conservation associated with
implementation of the Specific Plan.The Specific Plan EIR found that the Specific Plan would
increase energy demand, but would not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption
of energy.The Specific Plan EIR also determined that implementation of standard regulations, as
well as conformance with the City-adopted 2013 California Energy Code,the California Green
Building Standards Code, and policies of the City General Plan would reduce potential impacts.This
impact was considered to be less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR also determined that implementation of the Specific Plan would not constrain
local or regional energy supplies, necessitating the construction of new or expansion of existing
electrical generation of transmission facilities, resulting in a less than significant impact.
In addition, the Specific Plan EIR found that implementation of the Specific Plan would require new
development within the Specific Plan area to comply with federal, State, and local regulations
governing the use and conservation of energy resources. It was also determined that much of the
redevelopment associated with the Specific Plan would increase energy efficiency and conservation
throughout the Specific Plan area, resulting in a beneficial impact.

4.6.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project use large amounts of fuel or energy in an unnecessary,wasteful, or
inefficient manner.
Similar to build out of the Specific Plan,the proposed Project would increase the demand for
electricity and natural gas within the Project area, due to the construction and operation of an
approximately 109,914 sf administration building.Table F, below, shows the estimated potential
increased electricity demand associated with the proposed Project, and Table G, below, shows
the estimated potential increase in natural gas demand associated with the proposed Project.
As shown in Table F,the estimated potential increased electricity demand associated with the
proposed Project is 1.8 gigawatt hour(GWh) per year, while the Specific Plan EIR determined
that build out of the Specific Plan would increase electricity demand by 10.9 GWh per year.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not increase electricity demand beyond the demand
identified in the Specific Plan EIR. In addition, as shown in Table G,the estimated potential
natural gas demand associated with the proposed Project is 19,785 therms (thm) per year, while
the Specific Plan EIR determined that build out of the Specific Plan would increase natural gas
demand by 333,871.9 thm per year.Therefore,the proposed Project would also not increase
natural gas demand beyond demand identified in the Specific Plan EIR.

PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
In addition, as discussed in the Specific Plan EIR,this estimated energy demand is highly
conservative as the demand factors do not account for the most current efficiency standards of
the Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (California Green Building Standards Code
[CALGreen]). Implementation of the proposed Project would be required to comply with
applicable federal, State, and local rules and regulations governing the use and conservation of
California's energy resources. Development under the proposed Project would be required to
comply with the regulations of the current California Energy Code, which was adopted by the
City as the Energy Code under Chapter 18.22 of the Fountain Valley Municipal Code, as well as
the City-adopted CALGreen. In addition,the new building would be designed to achieve LEED
Platinum Certification. Therefore,the proposed Project would be consistent with adopted codes
and regulations, and would not contribute to the wasteful or inefficient consumption of energy
resources.
While the Project would result in an increase in electricity and natural gas consumption, the
proposed Project would be consistent with federal, State, and locally established goals, policies,
and regulation governing energy conservation and fostering sustainable development,the
proposed Project is not expected to result in the substantially wasteful or inefficient use of
California's energy resources.Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project is considered
to have a less than significant impact on the consumption and use of energy resources.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that the Specific Plan would not result in the wasteful or
inefficient use of California's energy resources.The proposed Project would not increase
electricity or natural gas demand beyond the demand identified in the Specific Plan EIR.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
b. Would the Project constrain local or regional energy supplies,affect peak and base periods of
electrical demand, require or result in the construction of new electrical generation and/or
transmission facilities, or necessitate the expansion of existing facilities,the construction of
which could cause significant environmental effects.
The proposed Project is located in the City of Fountain Valley,which is within the County of
Orange (County).The Specific Plan EIR determined that at the time the Specific Plan EIR was
prepared, the Specific Plan area contributed to approximately 36.16 GWh per year of energy
demand, which is approximately 0.17 percent of the County's total energy demand.As discussed
above,the Specific Plan EIR also determined that build out of the Specific Plan would result in an
increase in electricity demand of approximately 10.9 GWh per year, which would result in an
incremental increase in County energy demand for SCE services by approximately 0.0005
percent. As discussed above,the proposed Project would increase energy demand by
approximately 1.8 GWh per year, which would be less than the electricity demand evaluated in
the Specific Plan EIR. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would negligibly affect
local or regional energy supplies.

The Specific Plan EIR determined that the Specific Plan would result in an incremental increase
in County energy demand for SCE services that would be less than significant.The electricity
demand for the proposed Project would be less than the electricity demand evaluated in the
Specific Plan EIR.Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts
beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
c. Would the Project conflict with existing energy standards, including standards for energy
conservation.
The proposed Project would be required to comply with City-adopted codes and regulations
governing energy-efficient design and sustainable development. In addition,the proposed
Project would be designed to achieve LEED Platinum Certification, which would increase energy
efficiency and conservation, and reduce wasteful use of energy resources.Therefore, similar to
implementation of the Specific Plan, it is anticipated that the proposed Project would increase
energy efficiency and conservation.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that the Project would increase energy efficiency and
conservation throughout the Specific Plan area, resulting in a beneficial impact. Similarly,the
proposed Project would implement an energy-efficient design and sustainable development,
and would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new
mitigation measures are required.
4.6.3.1 Mitigation Measures
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to energy conservation. No mitigation
would be required for the proposed Project.
4.6.4 Findings Related to Energy Conservation
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Energy Conservation, and there is no substantial increase in the severity of impacts
described in the Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Energy Conservation that would require major changes to the Specific
Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the

information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Energy Conservation requiring major revisions to the Specific
Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Energy
Conservation. CEQA does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration of
additional mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or
reduce related to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

4.7.1 Existing Setting
The Project area is located within the seismically active region of southern California. However,
according to the State of California Department of Conservation Earthquake Zones of Required
Investigation for the Newport Beach Quadrangle,the Project site is not in an identified Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zone.The nearest identified Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone is approximately
4 miles southwest of the Project site.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service's
Web Soil Survey,the soils on the Project site are comprised entirely of Hueneme fine sandy loam,
drained.The shrink-swell potential for Hueneme fine sandy loam, drained, is slight.
According to the City's Public Safety Element of the General Plan,the area along the Santa Ana River
and south of the 1-405,which includes the Project area, has a high potential for liquefaction. In
addition, the City of Fountain Valley, including the Project site, is located within an area of known
subsidence.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
As detailed in the Specific Plan EIR, new land uses anticipated to occur under within the Specific Plan
area would potentially be exposed to moderate to strong seismic ground shaking in the event of an
earthquake on a nearby fault (i.e.,the Newport-Inglewood Fault or the San Andreas Fault). All new
structures constructed in the Specific Plan area would be required to adhere to the most current
building standards of the Fountain Valley Municipal Code and the Fountain Valley Building Code,
which adopt California Building Code (CBC) standards by reference with local amendments.
Compliance with the CBC includes seismic design and construction parameters to ensure the
protection of structures and occupants from seismic hazards during an earthquake. In addition,
applicants of new projects would be required to prepare and submit a site-specific geotechnical
report for review and approval by the City's Building and Safety Division prior to the issuance of a
grading or a building permit. Design of future projects would be required to incorporate the design
requirements for structures and foundations to maintain structural integrity during an earthquake
that are identified in the geotechnical report. In addition, no known faults traverse the Specific Plan
area, and the Specific Plan area is not located in an Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone.Therefore,the Specific
Plan EIR concluded that there is no reasonably foreseeable hazard of fault rupture in the Specific
Plan area, and impacts would be less than significant.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the City has a very high potential for liquefaction, due to the high
groundwater level (within 10 ft of the surface) throughout the City.The entire City is mapped within
an area potentially susceptible to liquefaction according to the Newport Beach Quadrangle Seismic
Hazard Zone map. Further,the City of Fountain Valley is located within an area of known subsidence
associated with drainage of organic and peat soils.All new structures constructed in the Specific
Plan area would be required to adhere to the most current building standards of the Fountain Valley
Municipal Code,the Fountain Valley Building Code, and the CBC. Adherence to the applicable
building codes, specifically to the soil stability construction parameters, would ensure the maximum
practicable protection available for all structures constructed within the Specific Plan area and their
occupants and visitors. Compliance with the CBC includes procedures to ensure the protection of
structures and occupants from liquefaction and subsidence hazards.As a result, impacts related to
soil instability would be less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that, because there are no soils in the Specific Plan area that have a
high expansion potential,the potential for expansive soils to create substantial risks to life or
property would be less than significant.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the Specific Plan area is developed with most of the land surface
covered by impervious materials such as buildings and paved parking areas. Due to the very small
quantity of soil currently exposed at the surface, and the relatively level topography of the Specific
Plan area,the Specific Plan EIR concluded that the potential for erosion hazards is low.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that no impacts related to alternative wastewater disposal systems
would occur because the Specific Plan area does not involve use or development of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems as sewers are available for the disposal of wastewater.

4.7.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects,
including the risk of loss, injury,or death involving:
i. Would the Project expose people or structures to a rupture of a known earthquake fault,
as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by
the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault?
The Project site is located in southern California,which is a seismically active region.
However,the Project site is not in an identified Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not expose people or structures to substantial
adverse effects involving the rupture of a known earthquake fault as delineated on the most
recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map, and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that there is no reasonably foreseeable hazard or fault
rupture in the Specific Plan area and that such impacts would be less than significant.The
proposed Project,which is located in the Specific Plan area, would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures
are required.
ii. Would the Project expose people or structures to a strong seismic ground shaking?
The Project site is located in southern California, a known seismically active region.Active
and potentially active faults in southern California are capable of producing seismic shaking
on the Project site.Thus, it is likely the proposed Project site would periodically experience
ground acceleration as a result of exposure to moderate-to-large magnitude earthquakes,
and seismic ground shaking on one of the nearby regional faults may cause damage to
development.Therefore,the Project has the potential to expose people and structures to
substantial adverse effects related to the site and regional geology, including those
associated with strong seismic ground shaking.
Project design would comply with the seismic design standards and construction parameters
of the CBC,the Fountain Valley Municipal Code, and the Fountain Valley Building Code. In
addition, as part of the discretionary project review process, a Project-specific geotechnical
report would be prepared for the Project,which would identify design requirements for
structures and foundations to maintain structural integrity during an earthquake.The
geotechnical report recommendations would be incorporated into the design of the
proposed Project. Compliance with the design requirements of the CBC and implementation
of the recommendations of the geotechnical report would ensure that impacts related to
strong seismic ground shaking would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to strong seismic shaking would be less
than significant with compliance with the CBC and Project-specific geotechnical report
recommendations.The proposed Project would also comply with the CBC and the Project-

specific geotechnical report recommendations and would, therefore, not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are
required.
iii. Would the Project expose people or structures to a seismic-related ground failure,
including liquefaction?
The Project has the potential to expose people and structures to substantial adverse effects
related to the site and regional geology, including those associated with liquefaction.As
stated above, the Project site is mapped within an area with a high potential for
liquefaction. According to the City's Municipal Code, Section 21.14.050,the Project site is in
the Seismic Hazard (SH) overlay zoning district.This section states that development in the
SH overlay zone may be subject to specific design requirements and preparation of a site-
specific soils report due to the high potential for liquefaction to take place. A site-specific
geotechnical report will be prepared for the Project and will include recommendations to
address effects related to or resulting from geologic conditions. In addition,the Project
design will comply with the design requirements of the CBC to address any potential for
seismic-related ground failure that is identified in the geotechnical report. Compliance with
the design requirements of the CBC and implementation of the recommendations of the
geotechnical report would ensure that impacts related to seismic-related ground failure
would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to seismic-related ground failure would
be less than significant with compliance with the CBC and Project-specific geotechnical
report recommendations.The proposed Project would also comply with the CBC and
Project-specific geotechnical report recommendations and would, therefore, not result in
new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation
measures are required.
iv. Would the Project expose people or structures to landslides?
The Project site is relatively flat, and no substantial hillsides or unstable slopes are
immediately adjacent to the site boundary. As a result,there is no potential for landslide
hazards, and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the risk of landslide and slope instability is minimal as a
result of the relatively level topography of the City.The proposed Project, which is located
within the Specific Plan area,would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT 4 i2
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
b. Would the Project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
As discussed in Section 4.10, Hydrology and Water Quality, construction activities would disturb
and expose topsoil and increase the potential for erosion. However, Project construction would
comply with the requirements of the Construction General Permit, including preparation of a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and implementation of Construction Best
Management Practices (BMPs). Construction BMPs would include, but not be limited to, Erosion
Control and Sediment Control BMPs designed to minimize erosion and retain sediment on site.
Compliance with the Construction General Permit would ensure that impacts related to erosion
would be low.
In the proposed condition, a portion of the Project site would be impervious surface area and
not prone to on-site erosion because no soil would be included in these areas.The remaining
portion of the site would consist of pervious area, which would contain landscaping that would
minimize on-site erosion by stabilizing the soil and allowing for infiltration.Therefore, impacts
related to erosion would be low and less than significant. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that, due to the very small quantity of soil currently exposed at
the surface, and the relatively level topography of the Specific Plan area,the potential for
erosion hazards is low. Similarly,the proposed Project is located within the Specific Plan area
and proposes development of a majority of the site with impervious structures with little soil
exposed at the surface.Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
c. Would the Project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become
unstable as a result of the Project,and potentially result in on-or off-site landslide, lateral
spreading,subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse?
Refer to Responses 4.6 (a) (iii) and (iv), above,for discussion on the potential impacts associated
with liquefaction and landslides, respectively.There are no substantial hillsides or unstable
slopes on the Project site;therefore,there is no potential for landslide hazards. However,the
Project is located in the City of Fountain Valley, which is mapped as susceptible to subsidence
and liquefaction. A site-specific geotechnical report will be prepared for the Project site to
identify any geologic conditions that could affect the Project.The geotechnical report will
include recommendations to address effects related to or resulting from any identified geologic
conditions. In addition, the Project design will comply with the design requirements of the CBC
to address any potential for unstable geologic units or unstable soils that are identified in the
geotechnical report. Compliance with the design requirements of the CBC and implementation
of the recommendations of the geotechnical report would ensure that impacts related to
unstable geologic units or soils would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to unstable geologic units or soils would be
less than significant with compliance with the CBC and Project-specific geotechnical report
recommendations.The proposed Project would comply with the CBC requirements and

recommendations of the geotechnical report and would,therefore, not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are required.
d. Would the Project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform
Building Code(1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
As discussed previously, the soils on the Project site are comprised entirely of Hueneme fine
sandy loam, drained, which has a slight shrink-swell potential.Therefore,the on-site soils do not
have a high expansion potential.The potential of the Project being located on expansive soils
thereby creating substantial risks to life or property would be less than significant. No mitigation
is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that, because there are no soils in the Project site that have a
high expansion potential,the potential for expansive soils to create substantial risks to life or
property would be less than significant. The proposed Project, which is located within the
Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
e. Would the Project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of
waste water?
The proposed Project would not include the use of septic tanks or alternative methods for
disposal of wastewater into subsurface soils. No on-site sewage disposal systems (e.g., septic
tanks) are planned. The proposed Project would connect to existing public wastewater
infrastructure.Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in any impacts related to septic
tanks or alternative wastewater disposal methods. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that no impacts related to alternative wastewater disposal
systems would occur because sewers are available for the disposal of wastewater.The proposed
Project, which would also connect to sewers for wastewater, would not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
4.7.3.1 Mitigation Measures
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to Geology and Soils. No additional
mitigation measures would be required for the proposed Project.
4.7.4 Findings Related to Geology and Soils
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts

in the Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Geology and Soils that would require major changes to the Specific Plan

Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Geology and Soils requiring major revisions to the Specific
Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Geology and Soils.
CEQA does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration of additional
mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or reduce related
to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

Would the Project:

indirectly,that may have a significant impact on the ❑ ❑ ❑
environment?
b. Conflict with an applicable plan,policy or regulation
adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of ❑ ❑
greenhouse gases?
4.8.1 Existing Setting
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are present in the atmosphere naturally, are released by natural sources,
or are formed from secondary reactions taking place in the atmosphere. However, over the last 200
years, human activities have caused substantial quantities of GHGs to be released into the atmos-
phere.These extra emissions are increasing GHG concentrations in the atmosphere, and enhancing
the natural greenhouse effect,which is believed to be causing global climate change. The gases that
are widely seen as the principal contributors to human-induced global climate change are:
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Methane (CH4)
• Nitrous oxide (N20)
• Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
• Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
• Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6)
While GHGs produced by human activities include naturally-occurring GHGs such as CO2, CH4, and
N20, some gases, like HFCs, PFCs, and SF6 are completely new to the atmosphere. Certain other
gases, such as water vapor, are short-lived in the atmosphere compared to those GHGs that remain
in the atmosphere for significant periods of time, contributing to climate change in the long term.
Water vapor is generally excluded from the list of GHGs because it is short-lived in the atmosphere
and its atmospheric concentrations are largely determined by natural processes, such as oceanic
evaporation. For the purposes of this analysis,the term "GHGs" will refer collectively to the six gases
identified in the bulleted list provided above.
Section 15064.4 of the State CEQA Guidelines states that: "A lead agency should make a good-faith
effort, based to the extent possible on scientific and factual data,to describe, calculate, or estimate
the amount of GHG emissions resulting from a project." In performing that analysis,the lead agency
has discretion to determine whether to use a model or methodology to quantify GHG emissions, or
to rely on a qualitative analysis or performance-based standards. In making a determination as to
the significance of potential impacts,the lead agency then considers the extent to which the Project
may increase or reduce GHG emissions as compared to the existing environmental setting, whether
the Project emissions exceed a threshold of significance that the lead agency determines applies to
the Project, and the extent to which the Project complies with regulations or requirements adopted
to implement a Statewide, regional, or local plan for the reduction or mitigation of GHG emissions.

Currently,there is no Statewide GHG emissions threshold that has been used to determine the
potential GHG emissions impacts of a project.Thresholds and threshold methodology and are still
being developed and revised by air quality districts in the State.Therefore,this environmental issue
remains unsettled and must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis until such time as South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) adopts significance thresholds and GHG emissions impact
methodology. In addition, the City of Fountain Valley currently has no polices, plans, regulations,
and thresholds of significance, or other municipal laws that directly address climate change.
Therefore, in the absence of a climate action plan for the City, SCAQMD thresholds, when adopted,
would apply to future development in the City.
To provide guidance to local lead agencies on determining significance for GHG emissions in their
CEQA documents, SCAQMD convened a GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Stakeholder Working
Group (Working Group).' Based on the September 2010 Working Group meeting (Meeting No. 15),
SCAQMD suggested a "bright-line" screening-level threshold of 3,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide
equivalent (CO2e) annually for office land use types, which is applicable to the proposed Project and
is used in this analysis.
4.8.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential GHG impacts on pages 3.4-1 through 3.4-
20.
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan impacts related to GHGs based on the SCAQMD's
"bright-line" screening-level threshold of 3,000 metric tons of CO2e.The Specific Plan EIR
determined that implementation of the Specific Plan would generate GHG emissions both from
mobile and operational sources, as well as short-term GHG emissions from construction. GHG
emissions associated with construction and operation of the Specific Plan were quantified using
California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). As identified in the Specific Plan EIR, short-term
construction GHG emissions were considered to be approximately 2,415.2 metric tons per year for
build out of the Specific Plan. When amortized over the 30-year life of the Specific Plan, annual
emissions would be 1,027.4 metric tons of CO2e. In addition, the Specific Plan EIR determined that
build out of the Specific Plan would result in approximately 2,472.4 metric tons of CO2e per year. As
such,the results of CaIEEMod analysis determined that impacts related to GHG emissions would be
less than significant.
In addition, the Specific Plan EIR determined that the Specific Plan would not conflict with any
applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of GHGs as Specific Plan-related GHG emissions would be below adopted regional 2035
GHG reduction goals. In addition, consistent with Southern California Association of Governments'
(SCAG) 2016-2040 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy(RTP/SCS)
alignment of transportation, land use, and housing strategies,the Specific Plan EIR determined that

the Specific Plan area is an infill location and would provide residential and commercial uses in
walking distance to proposed recreational uses, entertainment, and commercial retail, which would
result in reduced vehicle miles traveled (VMT), as compared to a project of similar size and land uses
at a more suburban location.
4.8.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly,that may
have a significant impact on the environment?
The following section describes the proposed Project's construction-and operational-related
GHG emissions and contribution to global climate change.
Construction Emissions. Construction activities associated with the proposed Project would
produce combustion emissions from various sources. During construction, GHGs would be
emitted through the operation of construction equipment and from worker and builder supply
vendor vehicles, each of which typically use fossil-based fuels to operate.The combustion of
fossil-based fuels creates GHGs such as CO2, CH4i and N20. Furthermore, CH4 is emitted during
the fueling of heavy equipment. Exhaust emissions from on-site construction activities would
vary daily as construction activity levels change.
The SCAQMD does not have an adopted threshold of significance for construction-related GHG
emissions. However, lead agencies are required to quantify and disclose GHG emissions.The
SCAQMD requires the construction GHG emissions to be amortized over the life of the Project,
defined as 30 years, added to the operational emissions, and compared to the applicable interim
GHG threshold tier. Using CalEEMod, it is estimated that the proposed Project would generate
approximately 1,083.7 metric tons of CO2e during construction of the Project (compared to
2,415.2 metric tons per year identified for build out of the Specific Plan). When amortized over
the 30-year life of the proposed Project, annual emissions would be 36.1 metric tons of CO2e
(compared to 1,027.4 metric tons per year identified for build out of the Specific Plan).
The Specific Plan EIR analysis determined that impacts related to GHG emissions would be less
than significant. Annual emissions amortized over the 30-year life of the proposed Project would
be substantially below the estimates for the Specific Plan.Therefore, construction of the
proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
Operational Emissions. Development of the proposed Project would contribute to the
significant GHG impacts identified in the Specific Plan EIR. As with the Specific Plan, long-term
operation of the proposed Project would generate GHG emissions from area sources and
indirect emissions from sources associated with energy consumption. Area-source emissions
would be associated with activities such as landscaping and maintenance on the Project site,
and other sources.This analysis assumes that the proposed Project would not increase vehicle
trips as the proposed Project would construct new administration buildings and relocate these
uses from Plant No. 1 to the Project site north of Ellis Avenue.

Following guidance from the SCAQMD, GHG emissions were estimated for the proposed Project
using CalEEMod.Table H shows the calculated GHG emissions for the proposed Project.
CaIEEMod output sheets are provided in Appendix A.
As discussed above, according to SCAQMD, a project would have less than significant GHG
emissions if it would result in operational-related GHG emissions of less than 3,000 metric tons
Of CO2e per year. Based on the analysis results,the proposed Project would result in
approximately 725.6 metric tons of CO2e per year and,therefore, would not exceed the
SCAQMD's numeric threshold of 3,000 metric tons of CO2e per year.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that build out of the Specific Plan would result in
approximately 2,472.4 metric tons of CO2e per year, with an overall net decrease of 997.8
metric tons of CO2e per year compared to the existing land uses, and would not exceed the
SCAQMD threshold of 3,000 metric tons of CO2e per year.Therefore,the proposed Project
emissions, which are also below the SCAQMD threshold of 3,000 metric tons of CO2e per year,
would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new
mitigation measures are required.
b. Would the Project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the
purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
As indicated above,the City does not currently have an applicable plan, policy, or regulation
adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. In addition, the proposed Project would be
designed to achieve LEED Platinum Certification, which would reduce energy and water

consumption and reduce area emissions.As with implementation of the Specific Plan,the
Project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by Assembly Bill (AB) 32
and Senate Bill (SB) 375. In addition, as discussed in the Specific Plan EIR, the Specific Plan would
not conflict with the 2016-2040 SCAG RTP/SCS alignment of transportation, land use, and
housing strategies.The 2016-2040 SCAG RTP/SCS focuses on an integrated land use and
transportation strategy to reduce GHG emissions.The purpose of the SCAG RTP/SCS is to
achieve the regional per capita GHG reduction targets for the passenger vehicle and light-duty
truck sector established by CARB pursuant to SB 375.The proposed Project would involve
construction and operation of a new administration building and a surface parking lot and would
relocate the existing administrative uses from Plant No. 1 to the Project site north of Ellis
Avenue. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in an increase in OCSD
employees because the Project is characterized as a relocation, rather than an expansion, of
existing operations.As a result, the Project would not increase existing vehicle trips. In addition,
as discussed in the Specific Plan EIR,the Specific Plan area is an infill location and would provide
residential and commercial uses in walking distance to proposed recreational uses,
entertainment, and commercial retail, which would result in reduced VMT, as compared to a
project of similar size and land uses at a more suburban location. As such,the proposed Project
would not conflict with the goals of the SCAG RTP/SCS. Therefore, the proposed Project would
not conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation pertaining to GHGs, and the impact
would remain less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that build out of the Specific Plan would not conflict with any
applicable plan, policy, or regulation pertaining to GHGs. Similarly, the proposed Project, which
is designed to achieve LEED Platinum Certification and would not conflict with any applicable
plan, policy, or regulation pertaining to GHGs, would not result in new significant impacts
beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are required.
4.8.3.1 Mitigation Measures
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to GHG emissions. No mitigation would be
required for the proposed Project.
4.8.4 Findings Related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and there is no substantial increase in the severity of impacts
described in the Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Greenhouse Gas Emissions that would require major changes to the
Specific Plan EIR.

No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions requiring major revisions to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Greenhouse Gas
Emissions. CEQA does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration of
additional mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or
reduce related to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

4.9.1 Existing Setting
The five existing industrial warehouse buildings on the Project site were constructed in 1971 and
would be demolished upon Project implementation. Based on the ages of these buildings,there is a
potential for building materials to contain asbestos or lead-based paint (LBP).A potential release of
hazardous materials could occur when asbestos-containing materials (ACM) or LBPs are disturbed
during renovation or demolition activities.This disturbance could be harmful to human health. As
part of the Property Conditions Summary(Jacobs 2016) prepared for the Project, a hazardous
building materials (HBM) survey was conducted, which confirmed that materials containing ACMs
and LBPs are present in the existing industrial warehouse buildings on the Project site.
Standard equipment suspected of potentially containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) includes
industrial-capacity transformers, fluorescent light ballasts, and oil-cooled machinery.The visual
inspection of the Project site conducted as part of the Property Conditions Summary identified 461

fluorescent light bulbs on the Project site; however,the labeling on the ballasts did not indicate the
presence of PCBs.
Other hazardous materials such as refrigerant (in heating,ventilation, and air conditioning [HVAC]
units), transformers, batteries, and numerous chemicals (e.g., spray paints, solvents, and cleaning
chemicals) were observed on the Project site during the visual inspection.
No existing or proposed schools are located within a 0.25-mile-radius of the Project site.The nearest
schools are Gisler Elementary School and Cox Elementary School, approximately 0.5 mile to the
southwest and 0.8 mile to the northwest, respectively, of the Project site.
The Project site is approximately 6 miles west of John Wayne Airport in the City of Santa Ana.
According to the Airport Land Use Commission,the Project site does not fall within the John Wayne
Airport Planning Area.There are no private airstrips in the vicinity of the Project site.
The Fountain Valley Fire Department (FVFD) is responsible for providing emergency response,fire
prevention, education, and emergency medical services to citizens and visitors to Fountain Valley.
Roads used as response corridors/evacuation routes usually follow the most direct path to or from
various parts of a community. For the Project site, and the surrounding areas,the main corridors
anticipated to be used by emergency services providers are Brookhurst Street, Ellis Avenue, 1-405,
and other arterials and freeways in this part of Fountain Valley. In addition, the City of Huntington
Beach has designated Brookhurst Street as a tsunami evacuation path.
The Project site and the surrounding areas are developed with urban and suburban uses and do not
include brush-and grass-covered areas typically found in areas susceptible to wildfires.
4.9.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Hazards and Hazardous Materials impacts
on pages 3.5-1 through 3.5-18.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the majority of existing buildings in the Specific Plan area were
constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. Based on their age,these structures may have been
constructed with hazardous building materials such as LBPs and ACMs. In addition,fluorescent light
tubes containing mercury vapors,fluorescent light ballasts containing PCBs, and PCB-containing
electrical equipment may be present in the buildings. Demolition and excavation activities could
result in the accidental release and expose of construction workers and the public to hazardous
materials.
Any renovation or demolition would be required by law to follow South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) and California Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(Cal/OSHA) regulations regarding abatement of ACMs and the Cal/OSHA Lead in Construction
Standard for the abatement of LBPs.Together, these regulations require sampling, safe work
practices, and appropriate disposal that would protect workers from harmful exposures to these
substances during construction activities and prevent contamination of surrounding soil or water.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to the release of hazardous building materials
would be less than significant with compliance with existing laws and regulations.
According to the Specific Plan EIR, existing businesses within the Specific Plan area may use and
store hazardous materials such as solvents, chemicals, or other hazardous materials to support
normal business operations that could expose workers and occupants to hazardous materials or
waste or result in the event of an accidental release.The Specific Plan concluded that this would be
a significant impact prior to mitigation. As such, the Specific Plan EIR included Mitigation Measure
MM HAZ-1, which requires each development and redevelopment project to prepare a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) and/or additional technical investigations prior to
demolition activities. Prior to demolition, hazardous materials or waste stored at these locations
would be removed and the hazardous materials and waste facilities in these buildings would be
closed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations designed to address hazardous materials
or waste and protect human health and the environment. Compliance with these regulatory
requirements, including preparation of a Phase I ESA and/or additional technical investigations
would ensure that impacts related to exposure to hazardous materials or waste stored or used in
the existing buildings would be less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measure MM
HAZ-1.
A database search of regulatory records was conducted for the Specific Plan EIR. All sites identified
within the Specific Plan area are either cleanup sites under a tiered permit, non-operating permitted
sites, or underground fuel tanks with cleanup completed. Nonetheless,the Specific Plan EIR
concluded that land use changes could potentially occur on hazardous materials sites and could
result in potential hazards risk to the environment and public health, resulting in a potentially
significant impact. Individual development projects engaging in activities involving the handling of
hazardous substances or waste would be required to receive all necessary permits and authorization
by the appropriate governing agencies.The Specific Plan EIR concluded that, with compliance with
the regulatory codes,the potential for projects to result in substantial adverse impacts related to
redevelopment of an existing known hazardous waste site would be low.The Specific Plan EIR also
included MM HAZ-1, which requires individual development projects within the Specific Plan area to
prepare a Phase 1 ESA prior to commencement of demolition or excavation.The Specific Plan EIR
concluded that implementation of MM HAZ-1 would ensure that impacts from hazardous waste
sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 would be less than significant with
mitigation.
There are no existing or proposed schools within 0.25 mile of the Specific Plan area.Therefore,the
Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts from emissions or handling of hazardous materials within
the vicinity of a school would be less than significant.
The Specific Plan area lies 3.7 miles northwest of John Wayne Airport, and is located just outside of
the Airport's Influence Area.Therefore,the Specific Plan EIR determined that it is not subject to any
development restrictions from the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP).Therefore,the Specific
Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to airport land use plans would be less than significant.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
The Specific Plan area does not contain and is not proximate to a private airstrip;therefore,the
Specific Plan EIR concluded that no impacts related to hazards from a private airstrip would occur.
Growth anticipated from development within the Specific Plan area would increase demand for
emergency response capabilities in the immediate vicinity. However,the Specific Plan EIR found that
this intensification of land uses would be consistent with general development in the region and
would not result in a substantial increase in emergency response requirements beyond the capacity
of existing services. Further, projects within the Specific Plan area would be built in compliance with
the City of Fountain Valley General Plan Public Safety Element and the 2004 Huntington Beach/
Fountain Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan including all applicable building, fire, and emergency
response plans. Individual development projects would require approval of the City and payment of
fees to support any required increases and services that would potentially occur.Therefore, impacts
related to impairment of implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan would be less than significant.
The Specific Plan area is fully urbanized and is not directly adjacent to hillsides or other wildland
areas.Therefore, the Specific Plan EIR concluded that no risk of loss, injury, or death involving
wildland fires would occur from build out of the Specific Plan.
4.9.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the
routine transport, use,or disposal of hazardous materials?
Construction activities associated with the proposed Project would use a limited amount of
hazardous and flammable substances/oils during heavy equipment operation for site
excavation, grading, and construction.The amount of hazardous chemicals present during
construction is limited and would be used in compliance with existing government regulations.
The potential for the release of hazardous materials during Project construction is low, and even
if a release would occur, it would not result in a significant hazard to the public, surrounding
land uses, or environment due to the small quantities of these materials associated with
construction vehicles.
The Project proposes to construct a new administration building.The proposed use typically
does not present a hazard associated with the accidental release of hazardous substances into
the environment because employees are not anticipated to use, store, dispose, or transport
large volumes of hazardous materials. Hazardous substances associated with the office uses are
typically limited in both amount and use such that they can be contained without impacting the
environment. Project operation would involve the use of potentially hazardous materials (e.g.,
solvents, cleaning agents, paints,fertilizers, and pesticides)typical of office uses that, when used
correctly and in compliance with existing laws and regulations, would not result in a significant
hazard to residents or workers in the vicinity of the proposed Project. Operational impacts are
considered less than significant, and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to the routine transport, use, or disposal of
hazardous materials would be less than significant with compliance with existing government

regulations. The proposed Project would also comply with existing regulations governing the
transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials.Therefore,the proposed Project would not
result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts because the proposed Project
would not require the transport, use, or disposal of substantial amounts of hazardous materials.
No mitigation measures are required.
b. Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
The following Phase I ESAs were prepared for the proposed Project: Hazardous Building
Materials Survey for 18475 Pacific Street& 18484 Bandilier Circle(Arcadis 2016), Phase 1 ESA for
18429 Pacific Street(Arcadis 2018a), Phase 1 ESA for 18368-18384 Bandilier Circle (Arcadis
2018b), and Phase 1 ESA for 18410-18436 Bandilier Circle (Arcadis 2018c). The Phase I ESAs did
not identify any recognized environmental conditions (RECs), controlled recognized
environmental conditions (CRECs), or historical recognized environmental conditions (HRECs) in
connection with the Project site, and no further investigation was recommended. However, out
of an abundance of caution due to the Project site's previous use for agricultural activities, a
Phase II Soil Sampling Report (Arcadis 2018d) was prepared for four properties.The Phase II
Report evaluated the potential for residual pesticides to be present in near surface soil to
determine if soil contains concentrated amounts of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). In in the
soil samples analyzed,the Phase II did not detect OCPs at concentrations exceeding the EPA's
regulatory screening criteria.The Phase II determined that no additional assessment,
remediation, or removal is necessary.
The proposed Project would include demolition of the existing on-site industrial warehouse
buildings, which as discussed previously, contain ACMs and LBPs. Any renovation or demolition
would be required by law to follow SCAQMD and Cal/OSHA regulations regarding abatement of
ACMs and the Cal/OSHA Lead in Construction Standard for the abatement of LBPs.Together,
these regulations require sampling, safe work practices, and appropriate disposal that would
protect workers from harmful exposures to these substances during construction activities and
prevent contamination of surrounding soil or water. Demolition activities would also comply
with the recommendations of the Property Conditions Summary, and the Phase I ESAs,which
include recommendations to ensure compliance with existing regulations. In addition, MM HAZ-
1, which requires individual development projects within the Specific Plan area to prepare a
Phase 1 ESA prior to commencement of demolition or excavation, states that project Applicants
shall follow all applicable local, State, and federal codes and regulations, as well as applicable
best management practices, related to the treatment, handling, and disposal of ACMs, LBPs, and
PCBs to ensure public safety.
As stated previously, hazardous materials such as solvents, chemicals, or other hazardous
materials are currently stored and used on the Project site.The public could be exposed to
hazardous materials or waste in the event of an accidental release. Mitigation measure
MM HAZ-1 from the Specific Plan EIR would be applicable to the proposed Project,which

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
requires each development and redevelopment project to prepare a Phase I ESA and/or
additional technical investigations prior to demolition activities. Prior to demolition, hazardous
materials or waste stored at these locations would be removed and the hazardous materials and
waste facilities in the existing industrial warehouse buildings would be closed in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations designed to address hazardous materials or waste and protect
human health and the environment. Compliance with these regulatory requirements, including
preparation of a Phase I ESA and/or additional technical investigations would ensure that
impacts related to exposure to hazardous materials or waste stored or used in the existing
industrial warehouse buildings would be less than significant with implementation of Mitigation
Measure MM HAZ-1. Compliance with existing regulations and MM HAZ-1 would ensure that
impacts related to the upset of hazardous materials would be less than significant.
Hazardous substances associated with the proposed office uses would be limited in both
amount and use such that they can be contained without impacting the environment. Project
operation would involve the use of potentially hazardous materials (e.g., solvents, cleaning
agents, paints, fertilizers, and pesticides)typical of office uses that, when used correctly and in
compliance with existing laws and regulations, would not result in a significant hazard to
residents or workers in the vicinity of the Project site. Operation of the proposed Project would
not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonable foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the
environment.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to the accidental release of hazardous
materials would be less than significant with implementation of MM HAZ-1, which requires
preparation of a Phase 1 ESA. MM HAZ-1 is also applicable to the proposed Project, and Phase I
ESAs have been prepared and any recommendations related to hazardous materials present in
the existing industrial warehouse buildings will be implemented.Therefore, the proposed
Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan
EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no
new mitigation measures are required.
c. Would the Project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous
materials,substances,or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
As discussed above, no existing or proposed schools are located within a 0.25-mile-radius of the
Project site.Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in impacts related to hazardous
materials and proximity to schools, and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to emissions or handling of hazardous
materials within the vicinity of a school would be less than significant because no schools are
located within 0.25 mile of the Specific Plan area.Therefore,the proposed Project, which is
located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts because no schools are located in the vicinity of the Project site. No new
mitigation measures are required.

d. Would the Project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites
compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and,as a result,would it create a
significant hazard to the public or the environment?
Refer to Response 4.8 (a), above. A records search was conducted as part of the Specific Plan
EIR.The Project site was not identified as a Permitted or Cleanup Site. In addition, of the 10
listed Permitted or Cleanup Sites, none were listed as open cases and none indicated that
further action is required. Specifically, six sites have completed cleanup and the cases are
closed; two sites do not require cleanup; one site is historically permitted; one site had its
closure certification finalized in 2016; and one site requires no further action. Regardless, MM
HAZ-1 in the Specific Plan EIR, which is applicable to the proposed Project, requires preparation
of a Phase I ESA, which would include a government record search.The government records
search will determine if the Project site could pose a potential environmental concern to the
surrounding area, identify any environmental violations associated with activities conducted at
the Project site, and identify if there are any nearby hazardous waste sites that could pose a
hazard to the Project site.The Phase I ESAs did not identify any RECs, CRECs, or HRECs in
connection with the Project site, and no further investigation was recommended. With
preparation of Phase 1 ESAs and implementation of the recommendations contained in the
Phase I ESAs, as required by MM HAZ-1, impacts related to hazards associated with hazardous
materials sites would be reduced to a less than significant level.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to hazardous material sites would be less
than significant with implementation of MM HAZ-1, which requires preparation of a Phase 1
ESA. MM HAZ-1 is also applicable to the proposed Project, and Phase I ESAs have been prepared
and any recommendations related to hazardous waste sites will be implemented.Therefore,the
proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or,where such a plan has not been
adopted,within two miles of a public airport or public use airport,would the Project result in
a safety hazard for people residing or working in the Project area?
As discussed above,the Project site does not fall within the John Wayne Airport Planning Area.
Further,the proposed Project would not result in safety hazards for people living or working in
the area different than would occur under existing conditions. In total, 327 OCSD employees
would move to a new site across Ellis Avenue from Plant No. 1. As a result, the Project would not
increase the number of OCSD employees in the area. Consequently,the risk of safety hazards
associated with John Wayne Airport would not be substantively different in this area of Fountain
Valley with or without the Project.Therefore, no impacts would result, and no mitigation is
required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to airport land use plans would be less than
significant because the Specific Plan area is not located within an airport land use plan area.
Therefore,the proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result

DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip,would the Project result in a safety hazard
for people residing or working in the Project area?
No private airports or airstrips are located in the vicinity of the Project site.As a result,the
proposed Project will not affect or be affected by aviation activities associated with private
airports or airstrips. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that no impacts related to hazards from a private airstrip would
occur because no private airstrips are located within or in the vicinity of the Specific Plan area.
Therefore,the proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result
in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
g. Would the Project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
The Project would involve construction and operation of a new administration building across
the street from Plant No. 1, where the current administrative uses are presently housed. Existing
employees would be relocated across Ellis Avenue from Plant No. 1 to the new administration
building. As stated in Section 4.14, Population and Housing, the proposed Project would not
represent a net increase in employees because the administrative use would provide work space
for existing OCSD personnel currently located at OCSD's Plant No. 1. As a result, no increase
demand for emergency response capabilities in the immediate vicinity of the Project site would
occur.Additionally,the Project would be built in compliance with the City of Fountain Valley
General Plan Public Safety Element and the 2004 Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley Hazard
Mitigation Plan including all applicable building,fire, and emergency response plans.Therefore,
impacts related to impairing the implementation of or physically interfering with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan would be less than significant. No
mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that impacts related to an emergency plan would be less
than significant because projects would not result in a substantial increase in emergency
response requirements beyond the capacity of existing services and the Project would be built in
compliance with existing City regulations. Similarly, the proposed Project would not increase
demand for emergency services and would also be built in compliance with City requirements.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.

h. Would the Project expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury,or death
involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where
residences are intermixed with wildlands?
Wildland fires occur in geographic areas that contain the types and conditions of vegetation,
topography, weather, and structure density susceptible to risks associated with uncontrolled
fires that can be started by lightning, improperly managed camp fires, cigarettes, sparks from
automobiles, and other ignition sources.The Project site and the surrounding areas are
developed with urban and suburban uses and do not include brush-and grass-covered areas
typically found in areas susceptible to wildfires. As a result,the proposed Project would not
expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death associated with wildland
fires. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires
would occur because the Specific Plan area is urban and not susceptible to wildfires.Therefore,
the proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
4.9.3.1 Mitigation Measure
Based on the analysis and information above, Mitigation Measure MM HAZ-1 included in the
Specific Plan EIR, would be applicable to the proposed Project. No additional mitigation measures
related to hazards and hazardous materials beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR are
required.
MM HAZ-1 Phase I ESA. Prior to demolition of a building or structure and/or excavation of
subsurface improvements, project applicants of site specific development projects
in the Project area shall prepare a Phase I ESA. Consistent with local, state, and
federal regulations, the Phase I ESA shall be subject to City review and address the
following:
• ACM, LBP, and PCBs. Prior to the issuance of any demolition or excavation
permit,the Applicant shall conduct a comprehensive survey of ACM, LBP, and
PCBs. If such hazardous materials are found to be present,the Applicant shall
follow all applicable local, state, and federal codes and regulations, as well as
applicable best management practices, related to the treatment, handling, and
disposal of ACM, LBP, and PCBs to ensure public safety.
• Potential On-Site Hazardous Materials or Conditions.A visual survey and
reconnaissance-level investigation of the existing site shall be conducted to
determine if there are any structures or features within or near the buildings
that are used to store, contain, or dispose of hazardous materials or waste. For
any development within the Project area that has not been subject to a Phase I
ESA or successful remediation efforts in the past, a Phase I ESA shall be

performed to determine the likelihood of contaminants in areas beyond what
has already been assessed in accordance with USEPA ASTM Practice E 1527-05
as may be amended. If the Phase I ESA finds that contaminated soil or other
hazardous materials or waste are suspected to be present within the area, the
Applicant shall follow all applicable local, state and federal codes and
regulations, as well as applicable best management practices, related to the
treatment, handling, and disposal of each hazardous material or waste.
4.9.4 Findings Related to Hazards and Hazardous Materials
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and there is substantial increase in the severity of
impacts described in the Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Hazards and Hazardous Materials that would require major changes to
the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Hazards and Hazardous Materials requiring major revisions to
the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. This
Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information and has determined that there is no new
information of substantial importance that was unknown and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Specific Plan EIR was certified indicating that: (1)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible,
and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the Project
proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or(2) mitigation measures or
alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Project proponent
declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
As discussed above,the proposed Project would result in a potentially significant impact related to
Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Mitigation was included in the Specific Plan EIR and adopted at
the time the EIR was certified.The mitigation measure that is applicable to the proposed Project is
listed in Section 4.9.3.1. Potential Project impacts related to Hazards and Hazardous Materials
would be reduced below a level of significance with implementation of the applicable mitigation
measures, none of which the Project proponent is declining to adopt.

4.10.1 Existing Setting
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the Project site is located within the approximately 210-square-
mile Santa Ana River watershed.The Santa Ana River originates approximately 75 miles northeast of
the Project site in the San Bernardino Mountains, crosses through San Bernardino County and
central Orange County, where it is channelized at the Prado Dam before it flows through Orange
County and empties into the Pacific Ocean.The Santa Ana River is located approximately 0.25 mile
to the east of the Project site.
The Project site is underlain by the approximately 350-square-mile Coastal Plain of the Orange
County Groundwater Basin, which is managed by the OCWD. The Orange County Groundwater Basin
is bound by the Puente and Chino Hills on the north,the Santa Ana Mountains on the east, and the
4-58

San Joaquin Hills on the south.The Orange County Groundwater Basin is bound by the Pacific Ocean
on the southwest and by a low topographic divide approximated by the Orange County- Los Angeles
County line on the northwest (DWR 2004).
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Map
No. 06059CO254J (December 2, 2009), the Project site is in an area designated as Zone X: Other
Flood Areas. Zone X: Other Flood Areas identifies areas of 0.2 percent annual chance flood (500-year
flood), areas of 1 percent annual chance flood (100-year flood)with average depths of less than 1
foot or with drainage areas less than 1 square mile, and areas protected by levees from a 1 percent
annual chance flood. Specifically, according to the FIRM Map,the Project site is in an area protected
by a levee and the 100-year flood is contained in the Santa Ana Channel. In addition, according to
the Safety Element of the County of Orange General Plan (2005, amended in 2012),the Project site
is in the Prado Dam Inundation Area.
The Pacific Ocean is approximately 5.5 miles from Plant No. 1 and the Project site and, according to
the Tsunami Inundation Map for the Newport Beach Quadrangle, Plant No. 1 and the Project site do
not fall within the tsunami inundation zone.
4.10.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Hydrology and Water Quality impacts on
pages 3.6-1 through 3.6-14.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that construction of projects within the Specific Plan area would
increase soil erosion and sediment transport that would have the potential to impact downstream
receiving waters. However, each individual project would be required to comply with the
requirements of the General Construction Permit, prepare and implement a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, and implement and inspect stormwater pollution prevention measures and control
practices.The Specific Plan EIR also determined that additional development and redevelopment
within the Specific Plan area would not substantially increase the amount of impermeable surfaces
and associated runoff. Rather, redevelopment would have a slightly beneficial impact on urban
runoff and water quality because each project would require more open space, landscaping, and
permeable areas compared to existing conditions. Additionally,future projects would be required to
comply with the County Municipal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Stormwater Permit, which requires that new development and redevelopment projects incorporate
Low Impact Development (LID) measures to reduce pollutants washing off site and to maintain pre-
development runoff rates. Stormwater runoff from new impervious surface areas would be
infiltrated through bioretention areas where possible. With adherence to existing water quality
regulations governing development and redevelopment, the Specific Plan EIR concluded that
impacts associated with water quality standards and waste discharge requirements during
construction and operation would be less than significant, and no mitigation was required.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that, given the relatively shallow depth of groundwater at the
Project area, it is possible that subsurface excavation during construction could intercept shallow
groundwater tables and that groundwater dewatering may be required. However, groundwater
dewatering activities would be temporary and unlikely to be extensive and would,therefore, not

P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx a12/20/19»
ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
substantially affect groundwater levels. Build out of the Specific Plan area would result in
redevelopment and a net increase in approximately 258,011 sf of developed areas and impervious
surfaces.The Specific Plan area is primarily built out and impervious, a condition which does not
support groundwater recharge.The Specific Plan requires a minimum of 3 acres of public space to
be added to the Specific Plan area, which would increase the overall permeable surfaces within the
Specific Plan area. In addition,the Specific Plan requires the installation of landscaped areas or other
pervious surfaces to minimize runoff and provide additional opportunities for groundwater
recharge. Furthermore,the Specific Plan would require development and redevelopment projects to
implement LID and stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)to improve water quality and
reduce runoff. Overall, build out of the Specific Plan would reduce runoff and increase opportunities
for permeable area and groundwater recharge.Therefore,the Specific Plan EIR concluded that
impacts to groundwater supply and aquifer levels would be less than significant, and no mitigation
was required.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that build out of the Specific Plan would not alter natural streams,
creeks, lakes, or other water bodies because none are present within the Specific Plan area. The
Specific Plan area is served by an existing municipal stormwater drainage system. Construction
activities could slightly alter on-site drainage patterns; however, any alteration in flows would be
temporary and would continue to be directed into the existing storm drain system. Given that
impermeable surfaces currently cover almost all of the Specific Plan area, implementation of the
Specific Plan would not substantially increase the amount of impermeable surfaces and associated
urban runoff.
The Specific Plan would provide for increased permeable area through development standards that
require new open space, landscaping, and planted areas.As a result,the amount of urban runoff
would decrease as compared to existing conditions. In addition, each development and
redevelopment project would be subject to City review to ensure inclusion of design features that
would continue to convey stormwater runoff to the existing municipal storm drain system.
Therefore,the Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to alteration of existing drainage
patterns of the area such that substantial erosion, siltation, or flooding would occur would be less
than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that while minor flooding may be experienced within the Specific
Plan area, because the Specific Plan area is not subject to the 100-year flooding, people or
structures would not be exposed to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving flooding.
In addition, the Specific Plan area is located adjacent to the Santa Ana River and is likely subject to
inundation in the event of failure or collapse the Prado Dam. However, due to the distance from
Prado Dam and current emergency procedures that address dam failure or flooding, the likelihood
of dam failure is low, and impacts related to flooding would be less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that no impacts related to inundation by tsunami would occur
because the Specific Plan area is not located within a tsunami inundation zone.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
4.10.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
The proposed Project would result in changes to existing conditions, including the demolition of
the five existing industrial warehouse buildings and construction and operation of a new
administration building and surface parking lot on the Project site.
Construction and operation of the proposed Project has the potential to introduce additional
pollutants into the storm drain system. During construction activities, excavated soil would be
exposed, and there would be an increased potential for soil erosion and sedimentation
compared to existing conditions. In addition, chemicals, liquid products, petroleum products
(e.g., paints, solvents, and fuels), and concrete-related waste may be spilled or leaked and have
the potential to be transported via storm runoff into receiving waters.
During construction,the total disturbed soil area would be approximately 5.2 acres. Projects
that disturb greater than 1 acre of soil are required to obtain coverage under the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Construction General Permit. Project construction would
comply with the requirements of the Construction General Permit, including preparation of a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and implementation of Construction BMPs.
Construction BMPs would include, but not be limited to, Erosion Control and Sediment Control
BMPs designed to minimize erosion and retain sediment on site; and Good Housekeeping BMPs
to prevent spills, leaks, and discharge of construction debris and waste into receiving waters.
During operation, the proposed Project would change the operational pollutants, such as
suspended solids/sediments, nutrients, heavy metals, pathogens (bacteria/viruses), pesticides,
oil and grease,toxic organic compounds, and trash and debris,that are introduced into
stormwater runoff. However,the proposed Project would reduce impervious surface area and
would include BMPs, which combined would reduce the volume of and pollutants in stormwater
runoff from the Project site compared to existing conditions. In its existing condition,the
Project site has an impervious surface area of approximately 205,920 sf, or 91 percent. In the
proposed condition, approximately 166,684 sf, or 73.5 percent, of the Project site would be
comprised of impervious surface area. As such, implementation of the proposed Project would
result in a decrease of impervious surface area on the Project site (from 91 percent to 73.5
percent).
The Project would comply with the requirements of the County Municipal NPDES Stormwater
Permit. In accordance with the County of Orange Model Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP)template and the Technical Guidance Document for the County of Orange and the City,
a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is required to be prepared for the Project, which
details the Low Impact Development features and treatment control BMPs to be included in the
Project to reduce pollutants of concern in stormwater runoff. According to the Conceptual
Water Quality Management Plan (September 2019) prepared for the Project,the proposed
BMPs are bioretention basins. Four locations for bioretention basins have been identified: (1) on
the southeast corner of the site, (2) at the east limit of the parking lot, (3) at the west limit of
the parking lot, and (4) a smaller area within the employee courtyard. After being treated within

P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx a12/20/19»
ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
the bioretention basins, stormwater runoff would discharge to the City of Fountain Valley
stormdrain system located within Ellis Avenue. Because stormwater runoff from the Project site
is not currently treated, implementation of BMPs would reduce pollutants of concern in
stormwater runoff and improve water quality of stormwater discharge from the Project site
compared to existing conditions.
With adherence to existing water quality regulations, including the Construction General Permit
and County Municipal NPDES Stormwater Permit, impacts associated with water quality
standards and waste discharge requirements during construction and operation would be less
than significant, and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to water quality standards and waste
discharge requirements would be less than significant with compliance with existing regulations.
Similarly,the proposed Project would comply with existing regulations and would not result in
new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are
required.
b. Would the Project substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering
of the local groundwater table level (e.g.,the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells
would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which
permits have been granted)?
The potential for groundwater dewatering during construction cannot be ruled out at this time.
As such, it is possible that that subsurface excavation during construction could intercept
shallow groundwater tables and that groundwater dewatering may be required. However,
groundwater dewatering activities would be temporary and unlikely to be extensive and would,
therefore, not substantially affect groundwater levels.
In the existing condition, the Project site consists of primarily impervious surface areas, which
do not promote infiltration.The Project would reduce the impervious surface area of the site,
which can provide more opportunities for infiltration. However, because the infiltration
potential of on-site soils is low, any increase in infiltration would be minimal. As such, the
proposed Project would not substantially change on-site infiltration or alter groundwater
infiltration or recharge.Therefore, Project impacts to groundwater supply and aquifer levels
would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that build out of the Specific Plan would reduce runoff and
increase opportunities for permeable area and groundwater recharge;therefore, impacts to
groundwater supply and aquifer levels would be less than significant, and no mitigation was
required.Any change in infiltration resulting from the proposed Project would be anticipated to
be minimal. Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond
those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.

DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
c. Would the Project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would
result in substantial erosion or siltation on-or off-site?
The Project would not alter the course of a stream or river. Construction activities would slightly
alter on-site drainage patterns and increase the potential for erosion and siltation due to
ground-disturbing activities that would expose the top soil. However, Project construction
would comply with the requirements of the Construction General Permit, including preparation
of a SWPPP and implementation of Construction BMPs. Construction BMPs would include, but
not be limited to, Erosion Control and Sediment Control BMPs designed to minimize erosion and
retain sediment on site.
The Project would not permanently alter drainage patterns of the Project site, which is already
developed. In the proposed condition, a portion of the Project site would consist of impervious
surface area and not prone to on-site erosion or siltation because no soil would be included in
these areas.The remaining portion of the site would consist of pervious area, which would
contain landscaping that would minimize on-site erosion and siltation by stabilizing the soil.The
Project would decrease on-site impervious surface areas, which would decrease stormwater
runoff and decrease the potential for downstream erosion and siltation. In addition, the County
MS4 Permit requires implementation of LID and stormwater BMPs to minimize runoff.The
proposed Project includes bioretention basins in compliance with this requirement. Because the
Project would decrease stormwater runoff from the project site by reducing impervious surface
area and including BMPs, impacts related to alteration of existing drainage patterns in a manner
that could result in on-or off-site erosion or siltation would be less than significant, and no
mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to alteration of existing drainage patterns
of the area such that substantial erosion or siltation would occur and impacts would be less than
significant. The proposed Project would reduce impervious surface area and would comply with
the County MS4 Permit, which requires implementation of LID and stormwater BMPs to
minimize runoff. Because the Project would decrease stormwater runoff from the project site by
reducing impervious surface area and including BMPs, the proposed Project would not result in
new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
d. Would the Project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase
the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on-or off-
site?
Construction activities would slightly alter on-site drainage patterns; however, any alteration in
flows would be temporary and would continue to be directed into the existing storm drain
system.The proposed Project would include on-site drainage features that would accommodate
and convey on-site stormwater runoff such that on-site flooding would not occur.These

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
drainage features would convey stormwater runoff to the existing municipal storm drain
system.The proposed Project would reduce impervious surface area and would include
implementation of LID and stormwater BMPs to reduce stormwater runoff discharged from the
Project site. Because the Project would decrease stormwater runoff from the Project site, the
Project would not increase the potential downstream flooding. Implementation of drainage
features and BMPs would ensure that Project impacts related to alteration of existing drainage
patterns of the area such that substantial flooding would occur would be less than significant,
and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that, because each project would include design features that
would convey stormwater runoff to the existing municipal storm drain system, impacts related
to the alteration of existing drainage patterns of the area such that flooding would occur and
impacts would be less than significant.The proposed Project requires implementation of
drainage features and BMPs to minimize runoff and flooding and would,therefore, not result in
new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are
required.
e. Would the Project create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of
existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff?
Refer to Responses 4.9 (a) and 4.9 (d). The proposed Project would decrease impervious surface
area on the Project site, which would decrease runoff and pollutant loading from the Project
site. Additionally, the Project would include drainage features that would continue to convey
stormwater runoff to the existing municipal storm drain system. In addition, the County MS4
Permit requires the installation of landscaped areas or other pervious surfaces and
implementation of LID and stormwater BMPs to minimize and treat stormwater runoff.The
proposed Project would include bioretention basins in compliance with this requirement to
reduce both volume of and pollutants in stormwater runoff compared to existing conditions.
Therefore, impacts related to exceedance of the capacity of stormwater drainage systems or
provision of polluted runoff would be less than significant.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to the exceedance of the capacity of
stormwater drainage systems or the provision of polluted runoff would be less than significant.
The proposed Project requires implementation of drainage features and BMPs to minimize
runoff and flooding and would, therefore, not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are required.
f. Would the Project otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
Refer to Response 4.9 (a), above. With adherence to existing water quality regulations, including
the Construction General Permit and County Municipal NPDES Stormwater Permit, which
includes implementation of construction and operational BMPs, impacts associated with

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
degradation of water quality during construction and operation would be less than significant,
and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to degradation of water quality would be
less than significant with compliance with existing regulations. Similarly,the proposed Project
would comply with existing water quality regulations and would not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are required.
g. Would the Project place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal
Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?
The proposed Project does not include a housing component. Therefore,the Project would not
place housing in a 100-year flood hazard area. No impacts would occur related to placement of
housing in a 100-year flood hazard area, and no mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to flooding would be less than significant.
Similarly,the proposed Project would not place housing in a 100-year flood hazard area and
would, therefore, not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific
Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No
new mitigation measures are required.
h. Would the Project place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede
or redirect flood flows?
As discussed above,the Project site is not located in a 100-year flood hazard area. Because the
Project site is not located in a 100-year flood hazard area,the proposed Project would not place
structures in a 100-year flood hazard area or impede or redirect flood flows, and no mitigation is
required.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to flooding would be less than significant.
The proposed Project is not located in a 100-year flood hazard area and would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are
required.
i. Would the Project expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
The Project site is located in an area protected from inundation by levees (the Santa Ana River
levee system) and within in the Prado Dam Inundation Area.
Prado Dam was designed in the 1930s, but increased its functioning capability due to Seven
Oaks Dam, which was completed in November 1999, and is approximately 40 miles upstream on
the Santa Ana River. During a flood, Seven Oaks Dam stores water destined for Prado Dam for as
long as the reservoir pool at Prado Dam is rising. When the flood threat at Prado Dam has

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
passed, Seven Oaks Dam begins to release its stored flood water at a rate that does not exceed
the downstream channel capacity. Working in tandem,the Prado and Seven Oaks Dams provide
increased flood protection to Orange County.
Prado Dam is maintained and inspected to ensure its integrity and to ensure that risks are
minimized. In addition, construction of the Santa Ana River Mainstem Project was initiated in
1989, and is scheduled for completion in 2020.The Santa Ana River Mainstem Project will
increase levels of flood protection to more than 3.35 million people in Orange, San Bernardino,
and Riverside Counties. Improvements to 23 miles of the Lower Santa Ana River channel,from
Prado Dam to the Pacific Ocean, are 95 percent complete, with the remaining bank protection
improvements in Yorba Linda currently under construction. Improvements to the Santa Ana
River channel include construction of new levees and dikes. In addition,the Santa Ana River
Mainstem Project includes improvements to Prado Dam that are currently underway and are
estimated to be completed in 2021.The Prado Dam embankment has been raised and the outlet
works have been reconstructed to convey additional discharges. Remaining improvements to
Prado Dam include acquisition of additional land for the expansion of the Prado Reservoir,
construction of protective dikes, and raising of the spillway(Orange County Flood Division
2018).
Although the Project would construct a new structure in an inundation zone,the proposed
Project would not increase the chance of inundation from failure of Prado Dam. In addition, due
to the distance from Prado Dam and current emergency procedures that address dam failure or
flooding,the likelihood of dam failure is low, and impacts related to flooding as a result of dam
or levee failure would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that impacts related to flooding as a result of failure of a
dam or levee would be less than significant. Similarly, the proposed Project would not increase
the chance of inundation from failure of Prado Dam and would,therefore, not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are
required.
j. Would the Project have inundation by seiche,tsunami,or mudflow?
No large standing bodies of water are located in the immediate vicinity of the Project site that
could cause flooding due to seiches.The Pacific Ocean is approximately 5.5 miles from the
Project site and is not located within the tsunami inundation zone. The Project site is essentially
flat and there are no substantial slopes on or in the vicinity of the Project site. As a result, there
is no risk of mudflow at the Project site. No impacts associated with possible seiche,tsunami,
and mudflow would occur, and no mitigation is necessary.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no impacts related to inundation by seiche,tsunami, or
mudflow would occur.The proposed Project is located within the Specific Plan area and would,
therefore, not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR

or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new
mitigation measures are required.

The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to Hydrology and Water Quality. No
additional mitigation measures would be required for the proposed Project.
4.10.4 Findings Related to Hydrology and Water Quality
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the

No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Hydrology and Water Quality requiring major revisions to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Hydrology and
Water Quality. CEQA does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration
of additional mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or
reduce related to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

4.11.1 Existing Setting
According to the Specific Plan EIR, the Specific Plan area includes approximately 35 acres in the
eastern portion of the City of Fountain Valley along I-405 and the Santa Ana River, which serves as
the eastern border for the City.The Specific Plan area currently consists of various light industrial,
retail, and office land uses and supports a variety of commercial businesses including various
clothing outlets,furniture and hardware stores, auto body shops, industrial manufacturing sites,
music stores, and restaurants. While many of the existing structures within the Specific Plan area are
large warehouse-type buildings used by single businesses, there are also multiple smaller
commercial structures that are split between multiple businesses.There are no residential uses
within the Specific Plan area.The Specific Plan area is fully developed with no notable vacant areas.
Land uses surrounding the Specific Plan area include CICSD Treatment Plant No. 1 to the south; light
industrial and commercial uses to the east across the Santa Ana River; an agricultural parcel to the
north; and low-and medium-density residential uses to the north and west. However,the Specific
Plan area is generally separated from and lacks connectivity with these neighborhoods by major
existing roadways.Talbert Avenue, a primary arterial, separates the Specific Plan area from the
residential neighborhood and agricultural parcel to the north. Ward Street, a secondary arterial,
separates the Specific Plan area from the single-family residential neighborhood and the medium-
density apartment development to the west. While several streets provide roadway connectivity
through the Specific Plan area, the area's major high-speed roads, large blocks, and distances to
destinations discourage pedestrian traffic and limit neighborhood connectivity.
Land use and development in the Specific Plan area is primarily governed by the City's General Plan
and Municipal Code.The Project site is designated Industrial (Commercial Manufacturing) in the
City's General Plan and is zoned as Specific Plan (SP)— FVCSP Mixed Industry District.The zoning is
consistent with the General Plan land use designations. Permitted uses in the SP zone are detailed in
the Specific Plan.
While the Specific Plan area lies approximately 4 miles from John Wayne Airport, it remains just
outside of the Airport's Influence Area.Therefore,the Specific Plan area is not subject to any
development restrictions from the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP).

4.11.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Land Use and Planning impacts on pages
3.7-1 through 3.7-34.
The Specific Plan area is fully developed with no notable vacant areas, and there are no residential
uses within the Specific Plan area. Access between the northern and southern portions of the
Specific Plan area is currently inhibited by the 1-405, and connectivity between land uses is limited to
Euclid Street and Ward Street. The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the Specific
Plan would not result in new development that would affect travel to and from Districts within the
area. Further, streetscape improvements, district design, and land use plans proposed under the
Specific Plan are intended to enhance connectivity within each of these areas, as well as improve
pedestrian access to and from the commercial and employment centers of the Specific Plan area
from outlying uses and adjacent communities, such as residential uses located to the north and
northwest. Development under the Specific Plan would conform to existing infrastructure
configuration; no road closures or other physical barriers would be installed, and no new large-scale
infrastructure improvements would take place. On the contrary,the current street system, including
pedestrian and bike facilities, would be improved over time with implementation of the Specific
Plan.Therefore,the implementation of the Specific Plan would not physically divide existing
communities, but instead is expected to improve land use connectivity north and south of the 1-405.
Impacts are considered to be less than significant.
The Specific Plan was developed by the City and is designed to be consistent with City's goals to
encourage the development of a place of gathering and activity center within the City and the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) planning region.The primary components of
the Specific Plan that would guide future development include updated zoning standards for form-
based development and design standards for new development to address site design, building
facade, size, bulk, and scale, as well as open space and walkability, and to promote and improve
compatibility with existing residential, commercial, manufacturing, and industrial development
surrounding the Specific Plan area.The Specific Plan is designed to comply with City's General Plan
policies and SCAG planning goals and principles.Therefore,the Specific Plan would be consistent
with applicable plans and policies.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the Specific Plan is required to comply with the planning
principles and goals established by SCAG and relating to the provision of residential opportunities
near transit corridors, encouragement of active multi-modal uses, creation of workplace-oriented
spaces, and encouragement of profitable business uses, and balanced industry and housing
opportunities.The primary components of the Specific Plan that would guide future development
include updated zoning standards for form-based development, and design standards for new
development to address site design, building fagade, size, bulk, and scale, as well as open space and
walkability, and to promote and improve compatibility with existing residential, commercial,
manufacturing, and industrial development surrounding the Specific Plan area.The Specific Plan is
designed to comply with City General Plan policies and SCAG planning goals and principles, and
overall,the Specific Plan would be consistent with applicable plans and policies. In addition to land
use planning policies and regulations,the City and SCAG establish goals and policies oriented

towards reducing impacts to the human and natural environment that may result from increases in
development, increases in transportation-related emissions, and effects to local and regional
transportation systems. Implementation of the Specific Plan would result in the emissions of
additional air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) pollutants, noise impacts, and transportation
impacts. Mitigation measures designed to reduce potential impacts to air quality, noise, and
transportation would ensure that impacts associated with the Specific Plan build out are mitigated
to a less than significant level.Therefore, with implementation of mitigation measures,the Specific
Plan is consistent with goals and policies established by SCAG.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that there are no adopted Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) or
Natural Community Conservation Plans (NCCPs) in the Specific Plan area vicinity.The Specific Plan
area does not include any habitat areas that are protected through an approved local, regional, or
State HCP or NCCP.The County has approved an NCCP and an HCP, but the City has not enrolled in
such plans, and is not included in the associated planning area.
4.11.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project physically divide an established community?
The Project site is currently developed with five existing industrial warehouse buildings.The
proposed Project includes demolition of the five existing industrial warehouse buildings and
construction and operation of a new three-story administration building and surface parking lot
in a fully developed area. In addition, a pedestrian bridge would extend from the Project site to
OCSD's Plant No. 1, directly south of Ellis Avenue.The pedestrian bridge would connect the
proposed Project with the existing OCSD site and would not impact transportation facilities on
Ellis Avenue. Land uses in the vicinity of the Project site include 1-405 to the north, industrial
uses to the north and west, residential uses and the OCWD to the west,the Santa Ana River and
associated trail to the east, and OCSD to the south.The Project would include access to/from
the Project site via driveways, as well as pedestrian and bicycle access to/from the Project site
via sidewalks along the site's eastern, western, and southern boundaries, which are already
developed. As a result, the Project would not result in physical divisions in any established
community.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not divide
an established community because it would conform to the existing infrastructure configuration.
In addition, land use plans proposed under the Specific Plan are intended to enhance
connectivity through pedestrian improvements, provision of public gathering places, and
creation of pedestrian and bike friendly streetscapes.The proposed Project, which is located
within the Specific Plan area and would not divide an established community, would not result
in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
b. Would the Project conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy,or regulation of an agency
with jurisdiction over the Project(including, but not limited to the general plan,specific plan,

local coastal program, or zoning ordinance)adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating
an environmental effect?
Locally adopted land use plans, policies, or regulations that would be applicable to the proposed
Project include the Specific Plan, General Plan, and Zoning Code.The Specific Plan designates
the Project site as Mixed Industry District.The Project site is designated Industrial (Commercial
Manufacturing) in the City's General Plan and is zoned as Specific Plan (SP)— FVCSP Mixed
Industry District.The proposed administrative uses are consistent with the commercial
manufacturing designation, which allows for office (administrative, business, and professional)
uses. The Specific Plan anticipated, and the Specific Plan EIR evaluated, a potential net increase
of 811,408 sf for the office uses within the Specific Plan area.The proposed Project, at 109,914
sf, is thus consistent with the build out of new office uses projected in the Specific Plan EIR.
Build out of the Specific Plan would result in an increase in population associated with
approximately 2,063 new employees, 1,444 new residents, and customers of commercial and
retail businesses. Build out of the Specific Plan would increase the density of commercial uses
and introduce new residential uses, thereby increasing the total population of the Specific Plan
area. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in an increase in OCSD
employees because the Project is characterized as a relocation, rather than an expansion, of
existing operations.Thus, the Project would be consistent with population growth projected in
the Specific Plan.
The proposed Project would be consistent with all locally adopted land use plans, policies, and
regulations, including most development standards outlined in the Specific Plan.The proposed
Project would require the following variances and deviations: variances for frontage coverage
along Pacific Street and Bandilier Circle; a variance for build-to-corner requirements at the
corner of Ellis Avenue and Bandilier Circle; a variance for parking count requirements; a variance
for curb cuts and driveways along Pacific Street; a 5.5 percent deviation due to the proposed
18.9 percent street fagade opening along Pacific Street (which is below the minimum 20 percent
street fagade opening); a variance for bottom-floor street fagade requirements along Pacific
Street; and a 2.1 percent deviation due to the proposed building length of approximately 204 ft
(which exceeds the maximum building length of 200 ft.The proposed Project would comply with
all other development standards outlined in 2.1.5 of the Specific Plan.Therefore, with the
approval of the above variances and deviations,the proposed Project would be consistent with
development standards outlined in the Specific Plan.
The Project would be subject to existing local and regional land use plans and policies
established by the City and SCAG. The Project would be designed to comply with City General
Plan policies and SCAG planning goals and principles, and overall,the Project intends to be
consistent with applicable plans and policies. In addition to land use planning policies and
regulations,the City and SCAG establish goals and policies oriented towards reducing impacts
related to noise and transportation.The Project would be in compliance with SCAG policies
following the incorporation of mitigation measures related to noise and transportation,which
would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. With implementation of the mitigation
measures,the Project would be consistent with the applicable goals and policies of SCAG and
the City's General Plan, and impacts would, therefore, be less than significant.

The Specific Plan EIR concluded the Specific Plan was created by the City, and therefore, would
be consistent with applicable land use plans, policies, and regulations.The proposed Project,
which is located within the Specific Plan area, would be consistent with the Specific Plan,the
General Plan, and the Zoning Code.Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
c. Would the Project conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural
community conservation plan?
As discussed in Response 4.4.3 (f), the Project site and the surrounding areas are not subject to
any HCP or NCCP.Therefore,the proposed Project would not conflict with any HCP or NCCP
relating to the protection of biological resources.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that the Specific Plan area and vicinity are not subject to
any HCP or NCCP. Similarly,the proposed Project is located within the Specific Plan area and
would not conflict with any HCP or NCCP.Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in
new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are
required.

Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR.This
Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information and has determined that there is no new
information of substantial importance that was unknown and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Specific Plan EIR was certified indicating that: (1)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible,
and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the Project
proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or (2) mitigation measures or
alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Project proponent
declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
As discussed above,the proposed Project would result in a potentially significant impact related to
Land Use and Planning. Mitigation was included in the Specific Plan EIR and adopted at the time the
EIR was certified.The mitigation measures that are applicable to the proposed Project are listed in
Sections 4.13.3.1 and 3.17.3.1. Potential Project impacts related to Land Use and Planning would be
reduced below a level of significance with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures,
none of which the Project proponent is declining to adopt.

4.12.1 Existing Setting
There are no known mineral resources within the Specific Plan area, including the Project site, and
there are no operational mineral recovery sites within the Specific Plan area or in the nearby Project
vicinity.'
4.12.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
Mineral Resources are included within Section 4.3, Effects Found Not to be Significant, on pages 4-5
through 4-6 of the Specific Plan EIR; this topic was also discussed in page 44 of the Initial Study and
was scoped out.The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not
result in impacts to mineral resources because there are no known mineral resources within the
Specific Plan area.
4.12.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be
of value to the region and the residents of the state?
In 1975,the California Legislature enacted the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act, which,
among other things, provided guidelines for the classification and designation of mineral lands.
Areas are classified on the basis of geologic factors without regard to existing land use and land
ownership.The areas are categorized into four Mineral Resource Zones (MRZs):
• MRZ-1:An area where adequate information indicates that no significant mineral deposits
are present, or where it is judged that little likelihood exists for their presence.
• MRZ-2:An area where adequate information indicates that significant mineral deposits are
present, or where it is judged that a high likelihood exists for their presence.
• MRZ-3:An area containing mineral deposits,the significance of which cannot be evaluated.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
• MRZ-4:An area where available information is inadequate for assignment to any other MRZ
zone.
Of the four categories, lands classified as MRZ-2 are of the greatest importance. Such areas are
underlain by demonstrated mineral resources or are located where geologic data indicate that
significant measured or indicated resources are present. MRZ-2 areas are designated by the
State of California Mining and Geology Board as being"regionally significant." Such designations
require that a Lead Agency's land use decisions involving designated areas are to be made in
accordance with its mineral resource management policies, and that it consider the importance
of the mineral resource to the region or the State as a whole, not just to the Lead Agency's
jurisdiction.
The Project site has been classified by the California Department of Mines and Geology as
MRZ-3, indicating it is located in an area containing mineral deposits for which the significance
cannot be determined using available data.'Though the Project site is in MRZ-3, no known
mineral resources are located on the Project site, and the Project site is not designated or zoned
for the extraction of mineral deposits.
The proposed Project would not result in the loss of a known commercially valuable mineral
resource. No impacts to known mineral resources would occur as a result of the proposed
Project.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no impacts to known mineral resources would occur.
Similarly,the proposed Project is located within the Specific Plan area and would not result in
new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are
required.
b. Would the Project result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource
recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan?
Refer to Response 4.11.3 (a), above.The proposed Project would not result in the loss of a
known locally important mineral resource. No impacts to known mineral resources would occur
as a result of the proposed Project.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that no impacts to locally important mineral resource
recovery sites would occur. Similarly,the proposed Project is located within the Specific Plan
area and would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan
EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new
mitigation measures are required.

f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip,would
the Project expose people residing or working in the Project ❑ ❑
area to excessive noise levels?
4.13.1 Existing Setting
The Specific Plan EIR identified the primary source of ambient noise in the Specific Plan area as being
associated with roadway traffic noise, which has not changed substantially since preparation of the
Specific Plan EIR. As such, the noise measurements completed for the Specific Plan EIR are
applicable to the proposed Project. Table 3.8-4 of the Specific Plan EIR shows the results of short-
term ambient noise monitoring that was gathered from the Hyundai Motor America North American
Corporate Campus Hyundai Project. Monitoring was conducted at four unique locations around that
project site, which coincides with the northwestern most corner of the Specific Plan area.The noise
monitoring results indicate that existing daytime ambient noise levels in the area range from 53.9 A-
weighted decibels (dBA) to 70.8 dBA equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) (refer to page 3.8-3 in
the Specific Plan EIR for a definition of all acoustical terms used in this section).Traffic on
surrounding roadways is the primary noise source affecting the existing ambient noise levels in the
Project vicinity. Other noise in the Project vicinity includes various stationary sources, especially
urban-related activities (e.g., mechanical equipment, parking areas, and conversations, etc.)that
may represent a single event or a continuous occurrence. Regulatory requirements and standards
that govern the generation of and exposure to noise within the community have not changed since
the preparation of the Specific Plan EIR. Potential impacts of the proposed Project as compared to
the Specific Plan with respect to noise are discussed below.

4.13.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Noise impacts on pages 3.8-1 through
3.8-26.
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated the potential noise and vibration impacts that could result from the
Specific Plan.The Specific Plan EIR determined that construction of the Specific Plan could result in
significant temporary noise impacts to nearby noise-sensitive receptors.'Therefore,the Specific
Plan EIR identified Mitigation Measure MM N-1 to reduce the noise levels resulting from
construction of the Specific Plan for off-site noise-sensitive uses to a less than significant level.
The Specific Plan EIR also evaluated ground-borne vibration and ground-borne noise levels
associated with construction of the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan EIR determined that ground-
borne vibration from construction activities would not exceed thresholds, and impacts would be less
than significant.
In addition, the Specific Plan EIR evaluated the potential increase in ambient noise levels due to
increased traffic and associated noise.The Specific Plan EIR determined that the maximum noise
level increase would be less than 1 decibel (dB) in any location, and were considered to be less than
significant.
The Specific Plan EIR also evaluated potential impacts from the exposure of persons to excessive
ground-borne vibration or noise levels, including truck deliveries and trash hauling, mechanical
equipment, and parking areas.The Specific Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Specific
Plan would result in less than significant impacts associated with these noise sources.
4.13.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project increase exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of
standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance,or applicable standards of
other agencies?
Construction-and operation-period noise impacts of the proposed Project as compared to the
impacts identified in the Specific Plan EIR are discussed below.
Construction Impacts. Noise generated by the construction period for the proposed Project
would temporarily increase noise levels in the vicinity of the Project site. Each stage of
construction would involve a different mix of operating equipment, and noise levels would vary
based on the amount and types of equipment in operation as well as the location of the activity.
These activities would be similar for the proposed Project as compared to the Specific Plan.
The Specific Plan EIR identified that the closest sensitive receptors to construction associated
with the Specific Plan would be located approximately 75 ft from construction activities and
' Table 3.8-11 of the Specific Plan EIR indicates the anticipated noise levels of construction equipment noise
levels.

would be subject to a maximum noise level reaching approximately 94.5 dBA Leo.The closest
sensitive receptors to the proposed Project would be located approximately 1,350 ft from the
Project site.Therefore, attenuated for distance, these receptors would be subject to a noise
level of approximately 69.4 dBA Leo. As identified in the Specific Plan EIR, the City's Municipal
Code Section 6.28.050 states that exterior noise standards for residential zones can reach up to
75 dBA from 7:00 a.m.to 10:00 p.m. and up to 70 dBA from 10:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m. for any
period of time. In addition, pursuant to the City's Municipal Code Section 6.28.070 (Special
Provisions), noise due to construction activities would be exempt from the Noise Ordinance
between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on
Saturdays, with no construction activities permitted on Sundays or legal holidays.The Specific
Plan EIR requires the implementation of Mitigation Measure MM N-1 to further reduce noise
levels by requiring mobile equipment to be muffled and requiring best management practices
for hauling activities. In order to reduce construction noise to the maximum extent feasible,
Mitigation Measure MM N-1 would also be applicable to the proposed Project.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that construction of the Specific Plan could result in significant
temporary noise impacts to nearby noise-sensitive receptors. However,the proposed Project
site is located further from sensitive receptors than those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and
would not be subject to construction noise exceeding exterior noise standards for residential
zones.Therefore, construction of the proposed Project would not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
Operation-Period Impacts.The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation
of a new administration building and surface parking lot and would relocate the existing
administrative uses from Plant No. 1 to the Project site north of Ellis Avenue. Implementation of
the proposed Project would not result in an increase in OCSD employees because the Project is
characterized as a relocation, rather than an expansion, of existing operations. As a result,the
Project would not increase existing vehicle trips. However,the proposed Project would
redistribute traffic from Plant No.1 to the Project site north of Ellis Avenue, which would result
in an increase of traffic noise in the vicinity of the Project.The proposed Project would also
generate stationary noise during operation that could result in a permanent increase in the
ambient noise environment. Potential impacts associated with these noise sources are discussed
below.
Traffic Noise. As identified in the Specific Plan EIR, traffic is a major source of noise in the Project
vicinity.The amount of noise varies according to many factors, such as volume of traffic,vehicle
mix (percentage of cars and trucks), average traffic speed, and distance from the receiver.A
characteristic of sound is that a doubling of a noise source is required in order to result in a
perceptible (3 dBA or greater) increase in the resulting noise level.
As identified in the Specific Plan EIR (Table 3.8-14), the 1-405 southbound ramps/Ellis Avenue/
Euclid Street intersection (the closest intersection to the Project site) carries approximately
3,492 AM peak hour trips or approximately 34,920 average daily trips.The proposed Project
would only result in a redistribution of vehicular traffic and would not add any new trips to the
4-79

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
surrounding circulation system.Therefore, the proposed Project daily trips would not result in a
doubling of traffic volumes on nearby roadways and would not result in a perceptible increase in
traffic noise levels at sensitive receptors in the Project vicinity, which are located approximately
1,350 ft southeast of the site. While traffic noise may increase on other roadway segments
within the immediate vicinity of the site, land uses in this area consist of a variety of light
industrial (e.g.,warehousing), retail, and office uses, which would not be sensitive to increased
traffic noise levels.Therefore, Project-related vehicle noise would be considered less than
significant.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that the maximum noise level increase would be less than 1 dB
in any location, and impacts were considered to be less than significant. Similar to the Specific
Plan,the proposed Project would not result in a doubling of traffic volumes on nearby roadways
and would not result in a perceptible increase in traffic noise levels at sensitive receptors in the
Project vicinity.Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts
beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
Stationary Source Noise. Operation of the proposed Project would contribute new noise sources
that would incrementally increase noise levels.The noise sources that may be present during
operation of the Project include delivery and trash trucks, mechanical equipment, and typical
parking lot activities.
The closest sensitive receptors to the proposed Project include the single-family residences
located approximately 1,350 ft southeast of the Project site along Alabama Circle.These
sensitive receptors are located further than those identified in the Specific Plan EIR (nearest
residences include the Adobe River Avenue Neighborhood, located approximately 75 ft west of
the Specific Plan area). As such, due to noise attenuation based on the increased distance from
the nearest sensitive receptors, noise levels from Project-related stationary noise sources would
remain a less than significant impact on off-site sensitive receptors.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Specific Plan would result in less
than significant impacts associated with stationary noise sources. Similarly, noise levels from the
proposed Project stationary noise sources would be a less than significant impact on off-site
sensitive receptors, due to their greater distance from the proposed Project site.Therefore, the
proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
b. Would the Project increase exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground-borne
vibration or ground-borne noise levels?
Construction of the proposed Project would occur in phases that would include demolition, site
preparation, grading, building construction, and architectural coating. During construction,
ground-borne vibration would be generated from various types of construction equipment such
as loaded trucks,jack hammers, and bulldozers.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
The Specific Plan EIR determined that there are no fragile historic structures in the Specific Plan
area that could be affected by construction vibration. In addition, the Specific Plan EIR identified
that ground-borne vibration from construction activities could potentially be felt by surrounding
sensitive uses; however, vibration levels at the closest sensitive receptors would not exceed the
threshold of 0.1 inches per second. The closest sensitive receptors to the proposed Project are
located further than those identified in the Specific Plan EIR (nearest residences include the
Adobe River Avenue Neighborhood, located approximately 75 ft west of the Specific Plan area).
As such, due to noise attenuation based on the increased distance from the nearest sensitive
receptors, ground-borne vibration impacts would remain less than significant for the proposed
Project.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that vibration levels at the closest sensitive receptors would
not exceed the threshold of 0.1 inches per second.The proposed Project would not result in
new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR as the closest sensitive
receptors to the proposed Project are located further than those identified in the Specific Plan
EIR. No new mitigation measures are required.
c. Would the Project result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the
Project vicinity above levels existing without the Project?
Please refer to Response 4.13 (a), above.Audible increases in noise levels generally refer to a
change of 3 dB or more, as this level has been found to be barely perceptible to the human ear
in outdoor environments. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in
substantial increases in traffic noise levels on local roadways in the Project vicinity or
operational noise at sensitive receptor locations.Therefore, Project-related noise increases and
impacts associated with permanent increases in noise levels would be a less than significant
impact.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that impacts associated with permanent increases in noise
levels would be less than significant. Similarly,the proposed Project, which would not result in
substantial increases in traffic noise levels or operational noise, would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
d. Would the Project result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise
levels in the Project vicinity above levels existing without the Project?
Refer to Response 4.13 (a), above. Project-related construction activities could result in high
intermittent noise levels but would be reduced to a less than significant level with
implementation of Mitigation Measure MM N-1, which requires mobile equipment to be
muffled and the use of BMPs for hauling activities. In order to reduce construction noise to the
maximum extent feasible, Mitigation Measure MM N-1 would also be applicable to the
proposed Project.

PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
The Specific Plan EIR determined that construction of the Specific Plan could result in a
temporary increase in noise levels during construction. Similarly, construction of the proposed
Project could result in a temporary increase in noise levels during construction. However, the
proposed Project would not subject sensitive receptors to construction noise exceeding exterior
noise standards for residential zones.Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or,where such a plan has not been
adopted,within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport,would the Project expose
people residing or working in the Project area to excessive noise levels?
The Project site is approximately 6 miles west of John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana.According to
the Airport Land Use Commission,the Project site does not fall within the John Wayne Airport
Planning Area.The Project would not expose employees or visitors of the proposed office uses
to aviation-related noise levels different than that which would occur under existing conditions.
Further,the Project site is not in the 2016 Annual 60 to 75 Community Noise Equivalent Level
Noise Contours area for John Wayne Airport.Therefore, no aviation-related noise impacts
would occur.
The Specific Plan project area is not located within an airport land use plan or within 2 miles of a
public airport and would not expose residents or employees to excessive aviation-related noise
levels.The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in
new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip,would the Project expose people residing
or working in the Project area to excessive noise levels?
No private airfields are located in the vicinity of the Project site.Therefore,the proposed Project
would not result in noise impacts associated with a private airfield.
The Specific Plan project area is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip and would not
expose residents or employees to excessive aviation-related noise levels.The proposed Project,
which is located within the Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts
beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation measures are required.
4.13.3.1 Mitigation Measures
Based on the analysis and information above, Mitigation Measure MM N-1 included in the Specific
Plan EIR would be applicable to the proposed Project.
MM N-1 Construction Noise Management Plan.A Construction Noise Management Plan
shall be prepared by the Applicant and approved by the City prior to Grading Permit
issuance.The Plan would address noise and vibration impacts and outline measures

that would be used to reduce impacts. Measures would include but not be limited
to:
• To the extent that they exceed the applicable construction noise limits,
excavation, foundation-laying, and conditioning activities shall be restricted to
between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00
a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Saturdays, in accordance with Section 6.28.070 of the
Fountain Valley Municipal Code.
• The Applicant's construction contracts shall require implementation of the
following construction best management practices (BMPs) by all construction

manufacturer's specifications or as required by the City's Building and
Safety Division,whichever is the more stringent.
o The Applicant and its contractors and subcontractors shall place noise-
generating construction equipment and locate construction staging areas
away from sensitive uses, where feasible, to the satisfaction of the Building
and Safety Division.
o The Applicant and its contractors and subcontractors shall implement noise
attenuation measures which may include, but are not limited to, noise
barriers or noise blankets to the satisfaction of the City's Building and Safety
Division.
• The Applicant's contracts with its construction contractors and subcontractors
shall include the requirement that construction staging areas, construction
worker parking, and the operation of earthmoving equipment within the Project
area, are located as far away from vibration-and noise-sensitive sites as
possible. Contract provisions incorporating the above requirements shall be
included as part of the Project's construction documents, which shall be
reviewed and approved by the City.
• The Applicant shall require by contract specifications that heavily loaded trucks
used during construction shall be routed away from residential streets to the
extent possible. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed

least 15 days prior to commencement of construction of each phase, regarding
the construction schedule of the Project.A sign, legible at a distance of 50 feet,
shall be posted at the construction site.All notices and signs shall be reviewed
and approved by the City prior to mailing or posting and shall indicate the dates
and duration of construction activities, as well as provide a contact name and a
telephone number where residents can inquire about the construction process
and register complaints.
4.13.4 Findings Related to Noise
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Noise, and there is no substantial increase in the severity of impacts described in the
Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Noise that would require major changes to the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Noise requiring major revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR.This
Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information and has determined that there is no new
information of substantial importance that was unknown and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Specific Plan EIR was certified indicating that: (1)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible,
and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the Project
proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or(2) mitigation measures or
alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Project proponent
declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
As discussed above,the proposed Project would result in a potentially significant impact related to
Noise. Mitigation was included in the Specific Plan EIR and adopted at the time the EIR was certified.
The mitigation measure that is applicable to the proposed Project is listed in Section 4.13.3.1.
Potential Project impacts related to Noise would be reduced below a level of significance with
implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, none of which the Project proponent is
declining to adopt.

4.14 POPULATION AND HOUSING
New Significant More Severe No Substantial Change
Impact Impact from Previous Analysis
Would the Project:
a. Induce substantial population growth in an area,either
directly(for example,by proposing new homes and ❑ ❑
businesses)or indirectly(for example,through extension of
roads or other infrastructure)?
b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing,
necessitating the construction of replacement housing ❑ ❑
elsewhere?
c. Displace substantial numbers of people,necessitating the ❑ ❑
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
4.14.1 Existing Setting
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the City's population in 2010 totaled 55,313 people, while Orange
County had a population of 3,010,232. In 2010,the City's unemployment rate equaled 8 percent.
Jobs and housing are considered to be balanced when there are an equal number of employed
residents and jobs within a given area, with a ratio of approximately 1.0. The City has approximately
1.5 jobs for every employed resident, which is comparable to the ratio for Orange County and
suggests that the City is a net importer of labor. An estimated 18.0 percent and 84.1 percent of the
City's employed residents work within the City and County, respectively.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the City currently has a housing stock of 19,167 units. Between
1990 and 1999,the City's housing stock increased 4.8 percent. Between 2000 and 2010,the City's
housing stock grew approximately 3.7 percent,which is lower than that experienced County-wide
(8.2 percent).To address the need for additional housing in the community,the City has adopted a
Housing Plan as part of the 2014 Housing Element for its General Plan, which establishes goals,
policies, and programs to facilitate development of more housing within the City.Although the
Specific Plan area does not currently support a residential population or residential uses, residential
neighborhoods are located to the north and west of the Specific Plan area.
4.14.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Population and Housing impacts on pages
3.9-1 through 3.9-18.
The Specific Plan is intended to guide future land use changes occurring within the Specific Plan area
through adoption of development standards and policies, including provisions for new housing and
employment opportunities.The Specific Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Specific
Plan would facilitate approximately 258,010 sf of net new development and 491 new housing units
within the Specific Plan area.
Consistent with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan and the adopted Housing Element,
projected housing development within the Specific Plan area would involve creating more housing
opportunities and minimizing impacts to existing neighborhoods. In addition, the Specific Plan
4-85
P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx a12/20/19»
ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
contains objectives to support the City's commitment to providing adequate housing for families
and individuals of all economic levels.Although the estimated increase in housing would be
insignificant relative to the existing number of housing units in the City,the Specific Plan would
adhere to City policies to provide adequate housing. Therefore, housing impacts are considered less
than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that the addition of 491 housing units would result in a net
population increase of approximately 1,444 residents. However, population growth associated with
implementation of the Specific Plan is considered incremental relative to the existing population in
the Specific Plan area. In addition, implementation of the Specific Plan would result in the creation
of approximately 2,063 jobs. Similar to population growth, employment growth associated with
implementation of the Specific Plan is considered incremental relative to the existing jobs in the
Specific Plan area. Employment growth would be consistent with the Specific Plan's goals to create a
sustainable economy through development of a broad mix of retail, entertainment, office, and light
industrial uses in the Specific Plan area.Therefore, potential impacts related to population and
employment growth are considered less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that land use changes occurring in the Specific Plan area would have
no impact on existing housing or people.The Specific Plan area is fully developed and the proposed
land use changes would be integrated within the existing industrial uses.The Specific Plan area does
not currently support residential uses, and no demolition of residential uses is anticipated upon
implementation of the Specific Plan. Conversely, the overall housing stock of the City would increase
with implementation of the Specific Plan.The Specific Plan does not identify land uses changes in
residential areas or the conversion of residential neighborhoods to non-residential uses, and
therefore, it is not anticipated that housing or people would be displaced. Impacts related to the
displacement of housing or people would be less than significant.
4.14.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly(for
example, by proposing new homes and businesses)or indirectly(for example,through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
The proposed Project would not provide new housing opportunities or extend roads or other
infrastructure to areas not previously served.The Project would include demolition of the five
existing industrial warehouse buildings and construction and operation of a new three-story
administration building and surface parking lot on the Project site. OCSD's existing
administrative functions and personnel will be shifted from Plant No. 1 to the new headquarters
facility. In addition, a pedestrian bridge would connect the Project site to OCSD's Plant No. 1 site
south of Ellis Avenue.Thus,the Project would not represent a net increase in businesses or jobs
because the administrative use would provide work space for existing OCSD personnel.
Therefore, impacts to population growth would be less than significant as it is unlikely the
Project would create new jobs in the area.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not induce
substantial population growth in the area because increases in the number of housing units,

P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx(12/20/19)
INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
population, and jobs in the Specific Plan area would be considered incremental relative to
existing levels.The proposed Project would similarly not increase population or job growth as it
will serve the existing employees from the established Plant No. 1 facility. Therefore,the
proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
b. Would the Project displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
The proposed Project would not displace any existing housing, and there are no existing or
proposed residential uses on the Project site.Therefore,there would be no impacts related to
the displacement of substantial numbers of housing.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not displace
substantial numbers of existing housing because the Specific Plan area does not currently
contain and is not planned for residential uses. Similarly, the proposed Project would not
displace any existing housing and would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are required.
c. Would the Project displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
There are no existing or proposed residential uses on the Project site.The proposed Project
would not displace housing and would not, therefore, displace a substantial number of people,
necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.Therefore,there would be no
impacts related to the displacement of substantial numbers of people.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not displace
a substantial number of people because the Specific Plan area does not support residential
populations and is not planned for residential uses. Similarly,the proposed Project,which is
located within the Specific Plan area, would not displace housing or result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures are required.
4.14.3.1 Mitigation Measures
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to population and housing. No additional
mitigation measures would be required for the proposed Project.
4.14.4 Findings Related to Population and Housing
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts

related to Population and Housing, and there is no substantial increase in the severity of impacts
described in the Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Population and Housing that would require major changes to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Population and Housing requiring major revisions to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Population and
Housing. CEQA does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration of
additional mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or
reduce related to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

4.15 PUBLIC SERVICES
New Significant More Severe No Substantial Change
Impact Impact from Previous Analysis
Would the Project:
a. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated
with the provision of new or physically altered
governmental facilities,need for new or physically altered
governmental facilities,the construction of which could
cause significant environmental impacts,in order to
maintain acceptable service ratios,response times or other
performance objectives for any of the public services:
I. Fire protection? ❑ ❑
ii. Police protection? ❑ ❑
iii. Schools? ❑ ❑
iv. Other public facilities? ❑ ❑
4.15.1 Existing Setting
The City provides public services that serve the Specific Plan area. The City has two fire stations,
both located approximately 1.0 mile from the Specific Plan area,that provide the community with
emergency response services. Neither of these stations is located within the Specific Plan area.The
Fountain Valley Police Department (FVPD) operates out of a central location at City Hall and
provides police protection to the community.The Fountain Valley School District(FVSD) includes
seven elementary schools, and three middle schools. Fountain Valley High School, located within the
City, is part of the Huntington Beach Union High School District (HBUHSD).The City's Recreation and
Community Services Division operates a total of 20 parks within the City.The City includes additional
public services, such as the library and recreational facilities. However,these services are located
outside of the Specific Plan area.
4.15.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Public Services impacts on pages 3.10-1
through 3.10-16.
Implementation of the Specific Plan would result in a net increase of approximately 258,010 sf of
new development and construction of approximately 491 new residential units. As described in
Section 4.14, Population and Housing, build out of the Specific Plan would result in an increase in
service demands from an estimated 2,063 new employees, 1,444 new residents, and customers of
commercial and retail businesses. In addition,the Specific Plan EIR determined the associated
increase in demand for fire protection and emergency services within the Specific Plan area could
potentially impact operational services of fire protection and emergency medical providers.
Although the Specific Plan does not contain any specific development standards that address fire
protection services,the City's General Plan (1995) contains fire protection goals and associated
policies (Goal PS-6.4, Policy PS-6.4.1, and Policy PS-6.4.2)to ensure that equipment and facilities are
provided and maintained to meet reasonable standards of safety, dependability, and efficiency.
Pursuant to the City's Fire Code, all new structures built within the Specific Plan area would be

P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx a12/20/19»
ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
required to meet standard fire code requirements and be subject to review by the City Fire Marshal,
ensuring that the Project would provide adequate infrastructure for firefighting services. Therefore,
compliance with the City's General Plan and Fire Code would ensure less than significant impacts to
fire and emergency medical services.
Similar to fire services,the increase in population from new employees, residents, and customers in
the Specific Plan area could generate an increased need for police services and additional patrol.
Although the Specific Plan does not contain specific development standards addressing police
protection, Section 2.0.3.E states that all developments shall comply with applicable regulations,
including the City's Municipal Code and development review procedures.As part of the City's
development review and approval process,the City of Fountain Valley Planning and Building
Department would review proposed developments in the Specific Plan area and provide specific
recommendations related to security features and opportunities to reduce crime. Further,the City's
General Plan contains police service and law enforcement goals and associated policies (Goal PS-6.6,
Policy PS-6.6.1, and Policy PS-6.6.3) to ensure that the City provides effective and rapid response to
all emergencies.The Specific Plan EIR concluded that an increase in the number of residents and
employees generated by Specific Plan build out would not be expected to significantly decrease
adequate service levels or response times. Based on City growth projections,the FVPD does not
currently anticipate the need for additional resources, and therefore, potential impacts to police
services are considered less than significant.
Similar to fire and police services, the increase in population from new employees and residents in
the Specific Plan area could generate increased enrollment at schools in the FVSD and HBUHSD.To
account for these increases in demand for public school services, FVSD and HBUHSD require the
payment of development fees for both residential, and non-residential development within the City.
These fees are calculated on a per-square-foot basis on new development and would be collected
for the 491 housing units and commercial development projects based on their square footage.As a
result of payment of these required fees, potential impacts to schools resulting from development
under the Specific Plan are considered less than significant.
Similarly to other public services discussed above,the increase in population from new employees
and residents in the Specific Plan area could incrementally increase the demand for other public
facilities, including libraries.Although there are no library facilities located within the Specific Plan
area, increased demand would not exceed existing service capabilities of the nearby Fountain Valley
Library or other nearby libraries.The Orange County Public Libraries (OCPL) System allows access to
materials from all branches.Therefore, the incremental increase in demand for library services
would not result in the need for new or physically altered facilities or additional staff, and potential
impacts to library services are considered less than significant.
4.15.3 Analysis of Project Impacts

environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or
other performance objectives for fire protection?
The proposed Project would result in the demolition of the five existing industrial warehouse
buildings on the Project site, and construction and operation of a new three-story
administration building and surface parking lot on the Project site. In addition, a pedestrian
bridge would connect the Project site to OCSD's Plant No. 1 south of Ellis Avenue.The
proposed Project would relocate the existing administrative uses from Plant No. 1 to the
Project site north of Ellis Avenue. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in
an increase in OCSD employees because the Project is characterized as a relocation, rather
than an expansion, of existing operations. As such,the Project would not result in an increase
in jobs or employment beyond what currently exists at Plant No. 1.
The FVFD is responsible for providing emergency response,fire prevention, education, and
emergency medical services to citizens and visitors to the City of Fountain Valley.The Project
may result in limited effects on fire services during the construction period (such as any
potential calls for service FVFD may receive regarding conditions at the Project site), but these
effects would be temporary in nature and would cease following completion.As stated in
Section 4.14, Population and Housing, new development proposed as part of the Project
would not represent a net increase in businesses or jobs because the administrative use would
provide work space for existing OCSD personnel currently located at OCSD's Plant No. 1.
Consequently, operation of the administration building would not result in increased demand
for fire services in the Project vicinity compared to existing conditions. Further, the Project
intends to comply with policies related to fire and emergency medical services in the City's
General Plan and Fire Code, ensuring minimal impacts to public services.Therefore,the
Project would not result in adverse impacts to fire services.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not result
in adverse impacts related to provision of fire services because development under the
Specific Plan would comply with the General Plan and the Fire Code. Similarly,the proposed
Project intends to comply with the General Plan and the Fire Code,thereby reducing impacts
to fire services.Therefore,the proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area,
would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or
a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new
mitigation measures are required.

characterized as a relocation, rather than an expansion, of existing operations. As such,the
Project would not result in an increase in jobs or employment beyond what currently exists at
Plant No. 1.
The FVPD is responsible for the prevention, detection, and investigation of crime in the City.
Similar to Response 4.14 (a), construction and operation of the proposed Project may result in
increased demand for police protection services.Although the Project site would be fenced
during construction, construction activities may result in temporary effects on police services,
including any potential calls for service FVPD may receive regarding conditions at the Project
site.As stated in Section 4.14, Population and Housing, new development proposed as part of
the Project would not represent a net increase in businesses or jobs because the
administrative use would provide work space for existing OCSD personnel currently working
on the OCSD Plant No. 1 site. Consequently, operation of the administration building would
not result in increased demand for police services in the Project vicinity compared to existing
conditions. Further,the Project intends to comply with policies related to police services in the
City's General Plan and Municipal Code, ensuring minimal impacts to public services.
Therefore,the Project would not result in adverse impacts to police services.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not result
in adverse impacts related to provision of police services because development under the
Specific Plan would comply with the General Plan and the Fire Code. Similarly,the proposed
Project intends to comply with the General Plan and Municipal Code,thereby reducing
impacts to police services.Therefore,the proposed Project,which is located within the
Specific Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
a. iii. Would the Project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically
altered governmental facilities,the construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or
other performance objectives for schools?
The proposed Project does not include any residential uses and, as such, would not induce
population growth that would generate an increased demand for schools.The schools nearest
to the Project site are Gisler Elementary School and Cox Elementary School, approximately 0.5
mile to the southwest and 0.8 mile to the north, respectively.The relocation of OCSD
employees and functions from the existing Plant No. 1 to the Project site is not expected to
result in substantial population growth because the Project would not increase the number of
staff employed by the OCSD.Therefore,the proposed Project would have a less than
significant impact on school services and facilities.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not result
in adverse impacts related to schools because residential and commercial development would
be required to pay development fees to FVSD and HBUHSD.The proposed Project does not

involve residential or commercial development and, therefore, would not be subject to such
development fees. Further,the Project would not impact school enrollment because it would
not result in a substantial increase in population.Therefore, the proposed Project would not
result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new
mitigation measures are required.
a. iv. Would the Project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically
altered governmental facilities,the construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or
other performance objectives for other public facilities?
As stated previously,the proposed Project would relocate the existing administrative uses
from Plant No. 1 to the Project site north of Ellis Avenue. Implementation of the proposed
Project would not result in an increase in OCSD employees because the Project is
characterized as a relocation, rather than an expansion, of existing operations. As such,the
Project would not require an increase in jobs or employment beyond what currently exists at
Plant No. 1. Refer to Section 4.16, Recreation, for the discussion on Project impacts related to
parks.
The proposed Project does not include any residential uses and, as such, would not induce
substantial population growth that would generate an increased demand for public facilities
(e.g., libraries). In addition,the Project would not increase the number of OCSD employees.
While it is possible employees may use libraries or other public facilities in Fountain Valley
during lunch breaks or after-work hours,the Project would not increase the number of
employees and would not,therefore, increase the existing use of libraries or other public
facilities or contribute to substantial physical deterioration of those facilities.Therefore,the
proposed Project would not impact other public facilities in Fountain Valley.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not result
in adverse impacts related to libraries or other public facilities because the incremental
increase in demand for library services would not result in the need for new or physically
altered facilities or additional staff. Similarly, the proposed Project would not impact libraries
because it would not result in a substantial increase in population.Therefore,the proposed
Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan
EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no
new mitigation measures are required.

No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR.The
proposed Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to Public Services.
CEQA does not require consideration of alternatives to the Project or consideration of additional
mitigation measures because there would not be any significant impacts to avoid or reduce related
to this topic, and no mitigation is required.

b. Include recreational facilities or require the construction or
expansion of recreational facilities which might have an ❑ ❑
adverse physical effect on the environment?
4.16.1 Existing Setting
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the City's Recreation and Community Services Division operates a
total of 20 parks within the City.There are no parks or recreational facilities within the Specific Plan
area.The nearest parks are Los Alamos Park, located at 17901 Los Alamos Street(approximately
0.25 mile northwest of the Specific Plan area) and Ellis Park, located at 10301 Ellis Avenue
(approximately 0.25 mile west of the Specific Plan area). Mile Square Park, located at 16801 Euclid
Street, is the largest park within the City at one square mile in size. It contains golf courses and other
recreational and athletic facilities, as well as two lakes and a 20-acre urban nature area planted with
California native plants. The City's Recreation Center and Sports Park, located at 16400 Brookhurst
Street, is a multi-purpose recreational facility featuring a gym, a playground, and multiple sports
fields and courts. While the Specific Plan area itself does not contain any parks, it provides access to
an unimproved segment of the Santa Ana River Trail, which contains recreational opportunities for
hikers, bicyclists, and equestrians.
4.16.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
Recreation impacts were discussed on pages 50 through 51 of the Initial Study and the topic was
scoped out. However,the Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Public Services
impacts, including impacts to Recreation, on pages 3.10-1 through 3.10-16.
The Specific Plan does not include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities. Implementation of the Specific Plan would result in a net increase of
approximately 258,010 sf of new development and construction of approximately 491 new
residential units. As described in Section 4.14, Population and Housing, build out of the Specific Plan
would result in an increase in population associated with approximately 2,063 new employees,
1,444 new residents, and customers of commercial and retail businesses. Build out of the Specific
Plan would increase the density of commercial uses and introduce new residential uses, thereby
increasing the total population of the Specific Plan area.The Specific Plan EIR determined that the
addition of new employees and residents in the Specific Plan area could increase demands on area
parks and recreational facilities; however,while there are no parks within the Specific Plan area,
there are multiple parks and recreational opportunities within the City that could accommodate the
increase in population.Therefore, impacts to recreational opportunities would be less than
significant.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
The Specific Plan EIR found that the City currently surpasses the National Recreation and Park
Association's recommended parkland-to-resident ratio of 4 to 6 acres of parkland per 1,000
residents. In addition,the Specific Plan includes open space requirements and bicycle network
improvements to satisfy increased demand and to allow better connectivity to recreational facilities
and adjacent land uses. Pursuant to the Quimby Act and the City's Municipal Code Chapter
21.78.070, development of the 491 residential units proposed under the Specific Plan would
contribute to the park dedication fee of 5 acres of park for every 1,000 new residents.This fee
would contribute to development of park areas within the City, thereby further reducing potential
impacts from the Specific Plan on parks and recreation facilities in the City. Although build out of the
Specific Plan would incrementally increase demand for parks and recreational facilities, new or
physically altered facilities would not be necessary because the Specific Plan includes open space
requirements. In addition, the payment of a park dedication fee would address impacts on existing
parkland. As a result, potential impacts from the Specific Plan on local and regional parks would be
less than significant.
4.16.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or
be accelerated?
No existing parks or other recreation uses are located adjacent to the Project site.The nearest
parks are Moon Park, approximately 0.2 mile east of the Project site on the opposite side of the
Santa Ana River, and Ellis Park, approximately 0.3 mile west of the Project site.The Project does
not propose any residential uses and, therefore, would not increase the population near those
parks.As discussed in Section 4.14, Population and Housing, the Project is not anticipated to
result in the creation of new jobs and employees in the area. Although it is possible employees
might use Moon Park, Ellis Park, or other parks in Fountain Valley during lunch breaks or after-
work hours,the proposed Project would not increase the number of employees in the
immediate area and would not, therefore, increase the use of those parks or contribute to
substantial physical deterioration of those facilities. Further, the proposed Project intends to
comply with development standards outlined in the Specific Plan, which require the provision of
100 sf of public open space per 1,000 sf building area.Therefore,the Project would not impact
existing neighborhood and regional parks and recreational facilities.
The Specific Plan EIR also concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not result in
adverse impacts related to parks and recreational facilities because the incremental increase in
demand for parks can be accommodated by existing City facilities. Similarly, the proposed
Project would not impact parks and recreational facilities because it would not result in an
increase in population. In addition,the Project intends to provide open space as part of the
development standards outlined in the Specific Plan. Therefore, the proposed Project would not
result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new mitigation
measures are required.

Refer to Response 4.16.3 (a), above.The proposed Project would not include recreational
facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities.
The Specific Plan does not include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion
of recreational facilities.The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the Specific
Plan would not result in adverse impacts related to recreational facilities because the
incremental increase in demand for parks can be accommodated by existing City facilities.
Similarly,the proposed Project would not include recreational facilities or require the

4.17.1 Existing Setting
The Project site for the new Administration Headquarters complex is located in Fountain Valley,
California.The proposed Project site is bordered by industrial uses to the north, Pacific Street to the
east, industrial uses and Bandilier Circle to the west, and Ellis Avenue and OCSD's Plant No. 1 site to
the south.As mentioned in the Project Description,the Project site is in the Fountain Valley
Crossings Specific Plan area, which the City of Fountain Valley adopted on January 23, 2018.The
Project site is designated Industrial (Commercial Manufacturing) in the City's General Plan and is
zoned as Specific Plan (SP)—FVCSP Mixed Industry District.
4.17.1.1 Existing Roadways
Access to OCSD Plant No. 1 is currently provided as the south leg of the 1-405/Ellis Avenue-Euclid
Avenue intersection.Access to the Project site is currently available from either Bandilier Circle or
Pacific Street. Regional access to the site is primarily provided via 1-405 and local traffic uses Ellis
Avenue to reach the Project site.
• Ellis Avenue: Ellis Avenue is a four-lane arterial divided by a striped median with dedicated left-
turn lanes for local streets. Ellis Avenue is located directly adjacent to the Project site. According
to the City's Circulation Plan, Ellis Avenue is designated as a Secondary Arterial.The posted
speed limit is 45 miles per hour. On-street parking is prohibited, and no bicycle facilities are

provided. Sidewalks are provided on both sides of the roadway. Ellis Avenue is serviced by
Orange County Transportation Authority Bus Route 37, which provides service between La
Habra and Fountain Valley via Euclid Avenue.
• Bandilier Circle: Bandilier Circle is a two-lane undivided local street that provides access to
warehouse, office, and retail uses, including direct access to the Project site. On-street parking is
permitted. No bicycle or pedestrian facilities are provided on this roadway.
• Pacific Street: Similar to Bandilier Circle, Pacific Street is a two-lane undivided local street that
provides access to warehouse, office, and retail uses, including direct access to the Project site.
On-street parking is permitted. No bicycle or pedestrian facilities are provided on this roadway.
4.17.1.2 Existing Intersections
The upstream and downstream signalized intersections adjacent to the Project site on Ellis Avenue
(i.e., Ward Street/Ellis Avenue and 1-405 southbound ramps/Ellis Avenue-Euclid Street) were
recently evaluated in the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan Transportation Impact Analysis
(TIA) (Fehr& Peers,August 2017). According to the existing intersection level of service (LOS)
analysis,Ward Street/Ellis Avenue operates at LOS C in the a.m. peak hour and LOS B in the p.m.
peak hour, while 1-405 southbound ramps/Ellis Avenue-Euclid Street operates at LOS C in the a.m.
peak hour and at unsatisfactory LOS F during the p.m. peak hour.
4.17.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan TIA evaluated the effects of the proposed land use plan
on the surrounding circulation system, including intersections and freeway segments, in accordance
with the Orange County Congestion Management Plan guidelines and the Fountain Valley General
Plan.According to the Specific Plan EIR,the following impacts from implementation of the Specific
Plan related to Transportation/Traffic were identified in Table 3.11-8 and in Table 3.11-10.
Construction activities anticipated to occur under the proposed Fountain Valley Crossings Specific
Plan would potentially create short-term traffic impacts due to congestion from construction
vehicles (e.g., construction trucks, construction worker vehicles, and equipment, etc.), traffic lane
and sidewalk closures, and loss of on-street parking. With implementation of a Construction Impact
Mitigation Plan (identified as Mitigation Measure MM T-1 in the Specific Plan EIR), construction
impacts would be less than significant with mitigation.
Under existing with Project conditions, increased traffic generated by build out of the Specific Plan
would increase congestion at 3 of the 20 study intersections. While implementation of the Specific
Plan would include transit, pedestrian, and bike improvements and a Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) Program to minimize new vehicle trips, potential peak-period congestion would
still exceed existing City and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) LOS thresholds.
Intersection impacts to Euclid Street and Newhope Street/Northbound 1-405 Ramps (Intersection
No. 15) and Ellis Avenue/Euclid Street and Southbound 1-405 Ramps (Intersection No. 19)would be
temporarily significant and unavoidable. With implementation of intersection improvements,

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
intersection impacts to all other impacted intersections would be less than significant with
implementation of mitigation.
Increased traffic generated by build out of the proposed Fountain Valley Specific Plan under existing
conditions would increase congestion at 11 freeway facilities, resulting in significant and
unavoidable impacts.
Increases in traffic would incrementally increase delays at the intersections of residential roads with
local arterials in the Specific Plan area, degrading the effectiveness and performance of the
circulation system. However, such increases in delays at residential side streets would be
incremental and would not exceed established thresholds under existing conditions.Therefore,
impacts would be adverse but less than significant.
Implementation of the Specific Plan would not substantially disrupt alternative transportation, and
impacts would be less than significant without mitigation.
Buildout of the Specific Plan area would contribute towards potential cumulative short-term traffic
impacts due to congestion from construction vehicles (e.g., construction trucks, construction worker
vehicles, and equipment, etc.),traffic lane and sidewalk closures, and loss of on-street parking. With
implementation of a Construction Impact Mitigation Plan, construction impacts would be less then
significant with mitigation.
Under Future Year(2035) cumulative conditions, increased traffic would contribute considerably to
increased congestion at 4 of the 20 study intersections. While multiple improvements to
transportation facilities, including transit, pedestrian, and bike facilities are assumed to be
completed by 2035, potential peak-period congestion would still exceed City and Caltrans LOS
thresholds. Intersection impacts to MacArthur Boulevard and Harbor Boulevard (Intersection No.
13)would be significant and unavoidable. Impacts at Euclid Street and Newhope Street/Northbound
1-405 Ramps (Intersection No. 15) would be temporarily significant and unavoidable before
implementation of planned roadway improvements. Impacts at Intersection No. 15 would be
reduced to less than significant once planned improvements by other agencies have been
implemented. With implementation of additional intersection improvements, all other impacted
intersections would be improved to less than significant with mitigation.
Under cumulative conditions, traffic from build out of the Specific Plan would cumulatively
contribute to congestion at seven freeway facilities. Operational conditions at freeway facilities in
the Specific Plan area and surrounding vicinity would be depleted beyond thresholds.Therefore,
impacts to freeway facilities would be a significant and unavoidable impact.
4.17.3 Analysis of Project Impacts

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT 4 i2
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
The proposed Project includes moving the existing operations of an administrative office
building across Ellis Avenue to the proposed Project site.There will not be an increase in the
number of employees and the existing administrative building will not be reoccupied.Therefore,
this Project will only result in a redistribution of vehicular traffic; no new trips will be added to
the surrounding circulation system.The proposed Project would be consistent with the findings
from the Specific Plan, and the project would not result in any new or more severe impacts that
were not previously identified in the Specific Plan.
As such,the results of the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan TIA are still considered valid
and can be maintained for the majority of the study area intersections and all freeway
segments. One difference from the approved TIA would be the redistribution of peak-hour
volumes at 1-405 southbound ramps/Ellis Avenue-Euclid Street, in which the south leg is the
OCSD main driveway serving the existing administrative building. Operationally, the
redistribution of project trips (southbound through to southbound right-turn, northbound
through to eastbound left-turn, northbound right-turn to eastbound through, and the removal
of northbound left-turns) may improve the operation of this intersection. It should be noted
that this intersection is subject to Caltrans'jurisdiction and has been identified by Orange
County Transportation Authority(OCTA) as one of the improvements for the 1-405 Improvement
project.
The Project includes improvements to pedestrian circulation with the construction of a 128 ft
long pedestrian bridge across Ellis Avenue to connect Plant No. 1 with the new Administration
Headquarters complex on the Project site.The Project will not modify the roadway to affect
existing bicycle,transit, or vehicular travel.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts to any applicable plans, ordinances, or policies
establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system as a result
of traffic would be significant and unavoidable. The proposed Project, which is located within
the Specific Plan TIA study area, would not add additional traffic trips to the circulation system,
and would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR,
and no new mitigation measures are required. Mitigation Measure T-1,from the Specific Plan
EIR is applicable to the proposed Project and is described below. However, Mitigation Measures
T-2a,T-2b, and T-7, from the Specific Plan EIR are not applicable to the proposed Project, as no
new additional trips are generated. Mitigation measures T-2a,T-2b, and T-7 identified in the
Specific Plan EIR are not applicable to the proposed Project. As previously mentioned, the
proposed Project would not add additional traffic trips to the circulation system, and would not
result in any new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR. As such,
the proposed Project would not be subject to mitigation measures associated with fair-share
payments of improvements located within the Specific Plan study area.
b. Would the Project conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but
not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards
established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways?

As described in Response 4.17 (a),the proposed Project will not add any new trips to the
surrounding circulation system.Therefore, the proposed Project is not expected to conflict with
the applicable CMP, and there is no substantial change from the conclusions in the Specific Plan
EIR.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that conflict with an applicable CMP established by the County
CMA for the 1-405 freeway segments as a result of traffic would be significant and unavoidable.
The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific Plan TIA study area and would not add
additional traffic trips to the circulation system, would not result in new significant impacts
beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation measures are required.
No feasible mitigation was identified in the Specific Plan EIR.
c. Would the Project result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in
traffic levels or a change in location which results in substantial safety risks?
The proposed Project would not interfere with air traffic patterns, nor would it increase traffic
levels.There would be no impacts related to air traffic.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the build out of the Specific Plan would have no impact on
air traffic patterns because there are no airport facilities in the Specific Plan area and
implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would not substantially impacts surrounding
airports (e.g.,John Wayne Airport).The proposed Project, which is located within the Specific
Plan area, would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific
Plan EIR, and no new mitigation measures are required.
d. Would the Project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses(e.g.,farm equipment)?
The proposed Project will consolidate the six existing driveways on the project frontage of
Bandilier Circle into one driveway(providing access to employee and public parking) and
consolidate the five existing driveways on Pacific Street into two driveways (one for bus and
large vehicle access and one for employee and public parking). Consolidation of the driveways
along both streets will remove turning-movement conflicts as a result of driveways currently
being spaced too closely.The proposed Project will not make any further physical changes to
the surrounding circulation system.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT 4 i2
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that the implementation of the Specific Plan would have a less
than significant impact on the increase of hazards due to design features or incompatible uses.
The proposed Project would remove the existing turning-movement conflicts and would not
include design features that would increase hazards.Therefore,the proposed Project would not
result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new
mitigation measures are required.
e. Would the Project result in inadequate emergency access?
The Construction Impact Mitigation Plan (Mitigation Measure MM T-1 of the EIR) shall ensure
adequate emergency access is maintained throughout the duration of all construction activities.
Direct access for emergency vehicles would be provided via all three project driveways on
Pacific Street and Bandilier Circle.The proposed Project would not alter the existing roadway
network and would provide one vehicular access driveway on Bandilier Circle and two vehicular
access driveways on Pacific Street.The proposed Project would comply with all applicable codes
and ordinances for emergency vehicle access.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would have a less than
significant impact on emergency access. Because the proposed Project would comply with
applicable codes and ordinances for emergency vehicle access, it would not result in new
significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation
measures are required.
f. Would the Project substantially disrupt alternative transportation, including pedestrian,
bicycle,and transit facilities?
Pedestrian access to the Project site will be possible by existing sidewalks on Ellis Avenue.The
Project will provide direct pedestrian access between the existing OCSD Plant No. 1 and the
Project site by constructing an approximately 128 ft long pedestrian bridge over Ellis Avenue.
There are no designated bicycle routes in the City's Bicycle Master Plan adjacent to the Project
site; however, bicyclists may share the roadway with vehicles on Ellis Avenue in order to reach
the Class II Bike Path network via Ward Street and Ellis Avenue west of Ward Street. In addition,
bicyclists may share the roadway with vehicles up to MacArthur Boulevard to reach the Class I
Santa Ana River Trail.The proposed Project does not alter the existing roadways and would not
conflict with this planned project.
OCTA operates Bus Line 37 with stops along Ellis Avenue in the Project vicinity. Employees are
able to utilize the Bus Line 37 service to access the existing OCSD Plant No. 1 site and the
proposed Project site. As the proposed Project would not increase the number of employees, no
new transit trips are anticipated to be generated.
Because the Project is consistent with existing and planned pedestrian, bicycle, and transit
facilities, implementation of the proposed Project would not conflict with any adopted policies,
plans, or programs regarding bicycle or pedestrian facilities.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would not substantially
disrupt alternative transportation, and impacts would be less than significant.The proposed
Project, which is located within the Specific Plan area and is consistent with existing and planned
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities, would, therefore, not result in new significant impacts
beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR. No new mitigation measures are required.
4.17.3.1 Mitigation Measures
The TIA outlined improvement measures for all impacted intersections to bring project operations
back to acceptable or pre-project conditions. All intersections were able to be mitigated back to a
less than significant level with the exception of Harbor Boulevard/MacArthur Boulevard at which the
impact is considered significant and unavoidable due to the fact that the intersection is shared with
the Cities of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana and the City of Fountain Valley cannot guarantee the
implementation of mitigation measures.The TIA explains in detail why improvements to freeway
segments are not considered feasible at this time; therefore, all identified impacts to the freeway
system are considered significant and unavoidable.
Based on the analysis and information above,the one mitigation measure (MM T-1) listed below
from the Specific Plan EIR would be applicable to the proposed Project. No additional mitigation
measures related to transportation/traffic beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR are
required.
MM T-1 Construction Impact Mitigation Plan. Future development occurring under the
proposed Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan shall be required to prepare a
Construction Impact Mitigation Plan for review and approval prior to issuance of a
grading or building permit to address and manage traffic during construction and
shall be designed to:
• Prevent traffic impacts on the surrounding roadway network;
• Minimize parking impacts both to public parking and access to private parking to
the greatest extent practicable;
• Ensure safety for both those constructing the project and the surrounding
community; and
• Prevent substantial truck traffic through residential neighborhoods.
The Construction Impact Mitigation Plan shall be subject to review and approval by
the following City departments: Planning& Building, Public Works, and Police to
ensure that the Construction Impact Mitigation Plan has been designed in
accordance with this mitigation measure.Additionally,the plan shall be prepared
and implemented in coordination with any affected agencies such as OCTA and
Caltrans.The review of the plan shall occur prior to issuance of grading or building
permits. It shall, at a minimum, include the following:

4.17.4 Findings Related to Transportation/Traffic
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Transportation/Traffic, and there is not substantial increase in the severity of impacts
described in the Specific Plan EIR.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Transportation/Traffic that would require major changes to the Specific
Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant impact not reported in that document might occur. Based on the

information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Transportation/Traffic requiring major revisions to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR.This
Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information and has determined that there is no new
information of substantial importance that was unknown and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan EIR was
certified indicating that: (1) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the
Project but the Project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or(2)
mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the
previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the
project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
As discussed above,the proposed Project would result in a potentially significant impact related to
Transportation/Traffic. Mitigation was included in the Specific Plan EIR and adopted at the time the
EIR was certified.The mitigation measure that is applicable to the proposed Project is listed in
Section 4.17.3.1. The potential Project impact related to Transportation/Traffic would be reduced
below a level of significance with implementation of applicable the mitigation measure from the
Specific Plan EIR.The proposed Project would not contribute to the significant unavoidable impacts
identified in the Specific Plan EIR.

landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size
and scope of the landscape,sacred place,or object with
cultural value to a California Native American tribe,and that
is:
i. Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of
Historical Resources,or in a local register of historical
resources as defined in Public Resources Code section
5020.1(k).
ii. A resource determined by the lead agency,in its
discretion and supported by substantial evidence,to be
significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision
(c)of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1.In applying ❑
the criteria set forth in subdivision(c)of Public
Resource Code Section 5024.1,the lead agency shall
consider the significance of the resource to a California
Native American tribe.
4.18.1 Existing Setting
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the City is located in the Santa Ana Valley-Capistrano Valley
Province, which is a lowland strip separating the coastal hills from the Santa Ana Mountains.This
province dominates the inner portion of Orange County and includes the flood plain in the Santa
Ana River in the northern segment near the City. The moderate climate, fertile soils, and abundant
natural resources made southern California, including Orange County and the Fountain Valley area,
ideal for human habitation, which may have begun in the area as much as 11,000 years ago. During
the late prehistoric period,the Gabrieleno and the Juaneno groups occupied Orange County. The
Gabrieleno inhabited a large area of the Los Angeles Basin including the watersheds of Los Angeles,
San Gabriel, and Santa Ana Rivers, several streams in the Santa Monica and Santa Ana Mountains,
the coast from Aliso Creek to Topanga Creek, and the islands of San Clemente, San Nicholas, and
Santa Catalina.The Juaneno territory extended from Northern San Diego County to the San Joaquin
Hills along Orange County's central coast, and inland from the Pacific Ocean into the Santa Ana
Mountains. Both groups lived in residential villages along the County's rivers and traveled to
seasonal camps for hunting,fishing, shellfish collecting, and hard seed processing. Initial Spanish
settlement in the Orange County region came in the late 1500s, and the Mission San Juan Capistrano
was established in Orange County in 1775. Prior to Spanish migration,the native population had
been decimated by diseases, likely spread via coastal stopovers by early Spanish maritime explorers.
Additionally, multiple epidemics took a great toll on Native American populations between
approximately 1800 and the early 1860s, along with the cultural and political upheavals that came
with European, Mexican, and American settlement.The mission period was followed by the Mexican
period as colonists moved into California and occupied land granted to them by the Mexican

government. By the end of the Mexican period and as California moved towards statehood in 1850,
the populations of Native Americans in California as a whole declined.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the Fountain Valley area was inundated by large areas of
wetlands from the 1880s to the early 1900s. Early settlers constructed drainage canals to drain the
land and make it usable for agriculture and other development.Agriculture dominated the area in
the early 1900s.The City was incorporated in 1957.The large population growth that the City
experienced in the 1960s took place within the framework of a Master Plan adopted before any
developments had begun.The Project area was developed primarily in the 1970s with a range of
public and private structures and industrial areas.
No known archaeological resources are within the boundaries of the Specific Plan area. However,
the Specific Plan area has some potential for undiscovered Native American archaeological
resources, as well as other known regional resources, to occur.There are four recorded
archaeological sites within the vicinity of the Specific Plan area.The potential for such subsurface
resources, which may not have been evaluated during original development of the Specific Plan
area, may exist.
4.18.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Tribal Cultural Resources impacts on
pages 3.14-1 through 3.14-8.
The Specific Plan EIR explained that seven unique groups and/or individuals were contacted under
Senate Bill (SB) 18 and Assembly Bill (AB) 52 (including one tribe that was included on both AB 52
and SB 18 notification lists), and only one response was received. Mr.Andrew Salas of the
Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation responded via email on October 25, 2015. Mr. Salas
did not request consultation with the City, or identify any tribal cultural resources in the Specific
Plan area, but did request that a tribal monitor from the Gabrielei)o Band of Mission Indians-Kizh
Nation be present during ground-disturbing construction work.This request was considered, and
protocols for inadvertent discovery, including the retention of a qualified Native American Monitor,
were incorporated into Mitigation Measure MM TRC-1b. In addition to Native American
consultation, the City submitted a request for review of the Native American Heritage Commission
(NAHC) Sacred Lands Inventory File on November 12, 2015.The NAHC responded to the City's
request on December 8, 2015, and identified four recorded archaeological sites within the United
States Geological Survey(USGS) quadrangle in which the Specific Plan area is located. Review of
these sites was conducted, and it was concluded that all known sites are located outside the City
and,thus, are also outside of the Specific Plan area.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that there have been no previously identified tribal cultural
resources within the boundaries of the Specific Plan area or in the immediate vicinity.Additionally,
given the developed nature of the site and that development activities associated with the Specific
Plan would occur in previously disturbed areas, it is unlikely that tribal cultural resources would be
encountered within the Specific Plan area.Additionally, none of the Native American tribes
contacted through the SB 18 and AB 52 processes described above identified any tribal cultural
resources in the Specific Plan area. However,the Specific Plan area vicinity was a favorable

environment for Native American settlement.The Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation
noted in a response to the City's consultation process that the area is considered sensitive.
Therefore, it is possible that the Specific Plan area contains buried tribal cultural resources, which
could be preserved beneath the existing industrial warehouse buildings and paved surfaces. Effects
on tribal cultural resources are highly dependent on the individual project site conditions and the
characteristics of future projects that may be proposed with the Specific Plan area. If such resources
were discovered, any activity that would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
tribal cultural resource would be a significant impact. However, with the implementation of
Mitigation Measures MM TCR-1a, MM TCR-1b, and MM TCR-1c, which require procedures to be
taken in the event unknown cultural resources are discovered during construction, impacts to tribal
cultural resources would be less than significant. The mitigation measures are outlined in further
detail at the end of Section 4.18.3, below.
4.18.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. i. Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural
resource,defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site,feature, place,
cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the
landscape,sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe,
and that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in
a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k).
Chapter 532, Statutes of 2014 (i.e.,AB 52), requires that lead agencies evaluate a project's
potential to impact "tribal cultural resources." Such resources include sites,features, places,
cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native
American tribe that are eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources
or included in a local register of historical resources (PRC, Section 21074). AB 52 also gives
lead agencies the discretion to determine, supported by substantial evidence, whether a
resource falling outside of the definition stated above nonetheless qualifies as a "tribal
cultural resource."
Also per AB 52 (specifically PRC Section 21080.3.1), OCSD must consult with California Native
American tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the
proposed Project and have previously requested that OCSD provide the tribe with notice of
such projects.
In compliance with AB 52, letters were distributed on September 28, 2017,to local Native
American tribes who have previously requested to be notified of future projects proposed by
OCSD.The letters notified each tribe of the opportunity to consult with OCSD regarding the
proposed Project, which included the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians— Kizh Nation, the
Juaneno Band of Mission Indians/Acjachemen Nation, and the San Gabriel Band of Mission
Indians. In compliance with AB 52,tribes have 30 days from the date of receipt of notification
to request consultation on the proposed Project. No responses or requests for consultation
were received from the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians/Acjachemen Nation or the San
Gabriel Band of Mission Indians during the 30-day period. On October 5, 2017, Andrew Salas,
4-110
P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx(12/20/19)
INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
Chairman of the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians—Kizh Nation, sent a letter to OCSD
stating that the proposed Project lies within a sensitive area for tribal cultural resources. He
requested to be consulted on the Project. OCSD responded to the request via email on
October 5, 2017, and October 24, 2017,to arrange a meeting with the Gabrieleno Band of
Mission Indians—Kizh Nation,to which Mr. Salas has not responded. Due to the length of time
since receiving any additional response from the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians— Kizh
Nation,the AB 52 consultation process is considered closed.
The Project site is fully developed with five one-to two-story industrial warehouse buildings
and surface parking lots. It is possible that the Project site contains unknown buried tribal
cultural resources, which could be preserved beneath the existing buildings and paved
surfaces.The proposed Project would involve the demolition of five existing on-site industrial
warehouse buildings and the construction and operation of a new three-story administration
building, surface parking lot, and pedestrian bridge connecting the Project site to the OCSD
Plant No. 1 site south of Ellis Avenue. If such resources were discovered during construction
activities, any activity that would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
tribal cultural resource would be considered a significant impact. However, with the
implementation of Mitigation Measures MM TCR-1a, MM TCR-1b, and MM TCR-1c, which
were included in the Specific Plan EIR, impacts to tribal cultural resources would be reduced to
a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure MM TCR-1a would require pre-construction
training prior to any grading or other development activities associated with Project
implementation. In the event of inadvertent discovery of tribal cultural resources during
Project construction, Mitigation Measure MM TCR-1b would require retention of a qualified
registered professional archaeologist(RPA) and a qualified Native American Monitor to
evaluate the significance of the discovery pursuant to the Cultural Resources Treatment Plan
procedures, which are outlined in Mitigation Measure MM TCR-1c. Therefore,
implementation of Mitigation Measures MM TCR-1a, MM TCR-1b, and MM TCR-1c would
require procedures to be taken in the event unknown tribal cultural resources are discovered
during Project construction, and impacts to tribal cultural resources would be reduced to a
less than significant level.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to tribal cultural resources would be less
than significant with mitigation. Similarly,the Project is located within the Specific Plan area
and would incorporate the same mitigation to reduce impacts to tribal cultural resources.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant impacts, and no additional mitigation measures are required.Applicable
mitigation measures are outlined at the end of Section 4.18.3, below.
a. ii. Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural
resource,defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site,feature, place,
cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the

and that is a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by
substantial evidence,to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c)of

Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of
Public Resource Code Section 5024.1,the lead agency shall consider the significance of the
resource to a California Native American tribe.
See Response 4.18.3 (a) (i), above. With the implementation of Mitigation Measures MM TCR-
1a, MM TCR-1b, and MM TCR-1c, included in the Specific Plan EIR, impacts to tribal cultural
resources would be reduced to a less than significant level.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to tribal cultural resources would be less
than significant with mitigation. Similarly, the Project is located within the Specific Plan area
and would incorporate mitigation to reduce impacts to tribal cultural resources.Therefore,
the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in
the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no additional mitigation measures are required. Applicable mitigation measures
are outlined below.
4.18.3.1 Mitigation Measures
Based on the analysis and information above, Mitigation Measures MM TCR-1a, MM TCR-1b, and
MM TCR-1c, included in the Specific Plan EIR, would be applicable to the proposed Project.
MM TRC-1a Pre-Construction Training: For individual discretionary development projects, pre-
construction training for construction personnel shall be conducted prior to
commencement of any grading or other development activities. A qualified
archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications
Standards for archaeology(2008) and approved by the City, shall conduct tribal
cultural resources identification and protocol training prior to site disturbance
activities. Construction personnel shall be informed of the types of archaeological or
tribal cultural resources that may be encountered, and of the proper protocols for
agency notification. Construction personnel shall attend the training and shall retain
documentation demonstrating attendance.
MM TRC-1b Inadvertent Discovery: In the event of any inadvertent discovery of archaeological
or tribal cultural resources during construction, ground-disturbing activities shall be
suspended until an evaluation is performed.The Applicant shall retain a qualified
registered professional archaeologist (RPA) and a qualified Native American Monitor
selected by the City.The City's selection of a Native American Monitor will be based
on cultural affiliation with the Project area,which may include consultation with the
NAHC. In the event of discovery, construction personnel shall notify the City,the
RPA, and Native American Monitor.The RPA and Native American Monitor shall
evaluate the significance of the discovery pursuant to the Treatment Plan
procedures outlined in MM TCR-1c, below. Work shall not resume until
authorization is received from the City. If human remains are found, in compliance
with California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, all ground disturbances must
cease and the County Coroner must be contacted to determine the nature of the
remains. In the event the remains are determined to be Native American in origin by

the Coroner,the Coroner is required to contact the NAHC within 24 hours to
relinquish jurisdiction.
MM TCR-1c Archaeological Data Recovery: If cultural resources are encountered during
development activities,the City shall implement a Cultural Resources Treatment
Plan to address resource identification, significance evaluation, and any necessary
mitigation.The Treatment Plan shall be prepared by a City-approved RPA and a City-
approved Native American Monitor, and at a minimum shall include:
• A review of historic maps, photographs, and other pertinent documents to
predict the locations of former buildings, structures, and other historical
features and sensitive locations within and adjacent to the specific development
area;
• A context for evaluating resources that may be encountered during
construction;
• A research design outlining important prehistoric and historic-period themes
and research questions relevant to the known or anticipated sites in the study
area;
• Specific and well-defined criteria for evaluating the significance of discovered
remains; and
• Data requirements and the appropriate field and laboratory methods and
procedures to be used to treat the effects of the Project on significant
resources.
The City, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, may also
determine that resource is significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c)
of PRC Section 5024.1. If the RPA determines that the find may qualify for listing in
the California Register,the site shall be avoided or the resource preserved in place,
or if avoidance or preservation in place is not determined feasible, a data recovery
plan shall be developed.The preferred mitigation shall be to avoid the resource or
preserve in place.Any required testing or data recovery shall be directed by a
qualified RPA and Native American Monitor prior to construction being resumed in

PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Tribal Cultural Resources that would require major changes to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Tribal Cultural Resources requiring major revisions to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR.This
Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information and has determined that there is no new
information of substantial importance that was unknown and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Specific Plan EIR was certified indicating that: (1)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible,
and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the Project
proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or(2) mitigation measures or
alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Project proponent
declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
As discussed above,the proposed Project would result in a potentially significant impact related to
Tribal Cultural Resources. Mitigation was included in the Specific Plan EIR and adopted at the time
the EIR was certified.The mitigation measures that are applicable to the proposed Project are listed
in Section 4.18.3.1. Potential Project impacts related to Tribal Cultural Resources would be reduced
below a level of significance with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, none of
which the Project proponent is declining to adopt.

4.19.1 Existing Setting
The Specific Plan area is served by a network of utility lines, including sewer lines, water mains, and
storm drains that were generally constructed during the 1970s and 1980s; this infrastructure was
sized and installed to accommodate development anticipated at that time.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the City receives its water from three main sources: (1)the Lower
Santa Ana River Groundwater Basin (Orange County Groundwater Basin), which is managed by the
Orange County Water District(OCWD); (2) imported Colorado River and State Water Project(SWP)
water delivered by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD)through the
Municipal Water District of Orange County(MWDOC); and (3) recycled water from the OCWD's
Green Acres Project(GAP). MWDOC is Orange County's wholesale supplier and is a member agency
of the MWD.The City's water supply is comprised of 60 percent groundwater, 24 percent imported
water, and 14 percent recycled water. Water distribution service within the Project area is provided
by the Fountain Valley Water Utility,which operates as a division of the City Public Works
Department.
Wastewater collection and treatment service in the Specific Plan area is provided by the OCSD.
OCSD currently operates two wastewater treatment facilities that accommodate wastewater from
residential, commercial, and industrial sources.The City owns, operates, and maintains the sewer
collection system within the City limits and its sphere of influence. The sewer system comprises

PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
approximately 133 miles of collection and transmission pipe that sends City effluent to the OCSD for
treatment and disposal. Wastewater generated within the Specific Plan area is conveyed to Plant
No. 1, located directly south of the Specific Plan area south of Ellis Avenue. Existing wastewater
facilities servicing the Specific Plan area were constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. No
known deficiencies exist with the system, and the existing wastewater collection system adequately
services the Specific Plan area.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the City contracts Rainbow Environmental Services to collect solid
waste generated throughout the City, including the Specific Plan area. Rainbow Environmental
Services provides waste collection, recycling, and disposal services for residential customers with
trash can service. Rainbow Environmental Services provides a Materials Recovery Facility(MRF)to
ensure compliance with State laws regarding waste stream diversion and ensuring that a minimum
of 75 percent of solid waste is diverted from landfills into reuse and recycling under AB 341. Solid
waste generated from the City is transported to a MRF within the City of Huntington Beach
approximately 3 miles northwest of the Specific Plan area,where solid waste is manually and
mechanically separated into recyclable and non-recyclable materials. Non-recyclable materials and
solid waste are then transported to Frank R. Bowerman Landfill, a 725-acre, non-hazardous,
municipal solid waste landfill located within the City of Irvine, approximately 13.5 miles east of the
Specific Plan area.The Frank R. Bowerman Landfill is permitted to receive 11,500 tons per day (tpd)
of solid waste and receives a daily average of approximately 6,800 tpd;this landfill is scheduled to
close in the year 2053. It is subject to regular inspection by State regulatory agencies such as the
California Department of Resource Recycling and Recovery(CalRecycle),the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD) to ensure compliance with applicable plans, policies, and regulations.
4.19.2 Impacts Identified in the Specific Plan EIR
The Specific Plan EIR analyzed the Specific Plan's potential Utilities impacts on pages 3.12-1 through
3.12-29.
According to the Specific Plan EIR,the RWQCB, in connection with the implementation of the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, has imposed requirements on
the treatment of wastewater and its discharge into local water bodies, including the Santa Ana
River.Wastewater produced by new land uses and development in the Specific Plan area would
meet these requirements through treatment at the OCSD Plant No. 1. In addition,the
implementation of wastewater low impact development (LID) designs and best management
practices (BMPs) required by the Specific Plan would also help meet wastewater quality treatment
standards.Therefore, RWQCB wastewater treatment requirements would not be exceeded, and
potential impacts are considered less than significant.
The Specific Plan area is currently fully developed and existing wastewater flows are treated within
the capacity of OCSD.The Specific Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Specific Plan
would result in an increase in current wastewater flows by approximately 0.13 percent, and
increases in wastewater flows would be fully treatable by existing facilities.The OCSD Reclamation
Plant No. 1 would have sufficient capacity to serve the Specific Plan area demand in addition to the
4-116

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT 4 i2 ItA
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
provider's existing commitments.Therefore, impacts in regard to wastewater generation are
considered less than significant.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that wastewater collection and conveyance systems within the
Specific Plan area are currently sufficient in terms of size and age to service existing Specific Plan
area development. Due to existing available capacity to treat wastewater existing and future
wastewater in the City, construction or expansion of wastewater treatment facilities would not be
required. However, it is possible that new development within the Specific Plan area would require
on-site upgrades to serve the proposed new uses. For future development, individual development
projects occurring under the Specific Plan would be reviewed to determine whether site-specific
infrastructure improvements would be required as part of Specific Plan approval. Further,
implementation of the Specific Plan would generate increased sewage flows within the existing
sewer system. Development of land uses under the Specific Plan would incrementally trigger the
need for expansion or replacement of individual sewer line segments, resulting in potentially
significant impacts. Implementation of MM UT-3 and compliance with existing local regulations
would ensure the funding of necessary improvements to the wastewater system to serve future
land uses anticipated to occur under the Specific Plan. With assurance of adequate funds to finance
the capital improvements necessary as provided for in MM UT-3, impacts would be reduced to less
than significant levels with mitigation.Therefore, potential impacts to wastewater infrastructure
would be reduced to less than significant with mitigation.
According to the Specific Plan EIR, additional commercial, industrial, office, retail, and residential
uses to be developed under the Specific Plan would increase water demand. Based on water
demand factors for the City and other service areas within the County, water demand resulting from
implementation of the Specific Plan is expected to increase by approximately 499,855 gallons per
day (gpd) (560.3 acre-feet per year [acre-ft/yr]).The increased demand for water would have the
potential to result in the need for additional water supply infrastructure. Currently,the Specific Plan
area is largely developed and is served by an existing water supply system which provides sufficient
service. Development under the Specific Plan would occur within the existing developed spaces of
the Specific Plan area and is not expected to require substantial alterations to the existing water
system given the incremental and limited increase in water demand from the Specific Plan.
However, new land uses anticipated to occur under the Specific Plan could nonetheless result in the
need for construction of new water facilities or expansion of existing infrastructure such as upsizing
of certain pipeline segments. However, the individual development projects would be reviewed to
determine any necessary alterations to existing infrastructure to serve the development site. As part
of development review of individual projects, additional CEQA review may be required that would
analyze potential effects including the alteration of existing systems or construction of additional
infrastructure.The construction or implementation of necessary on-site infrastructure
improvements would occur in conformance with applicable State and City development codes and
regulations. Due to the limited increase in water demand associated with the Specific Plan, as well
as conformance to mandated water supply infrastructure regulations and standards, and with
assurance of adequate funds to finance the capital improvements necessary for the Specific Plan as
described in MM UT-3, impacts to the environment due to potential construction or expansion of
water supply facilities are considered less than significant with mitigation.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
Implementation of the Specific Plan would result in partial redevelopment of the Specific Plan area
for increased retail, commercial, industrial, warehouse, office, and residential uses.As the Specific
Plan area is largely developed with impermeable surfaces, redevelopment under the Specific Plan
would primarily involve replacement rather than expansion of impermeable surfaces. Any potential
increased development of impermeable surfaces and building square footage may result in
increased stormwater and urban runoff that enters the City's storm drainage system. Storm drain
infrastructure within the Specific Plan area presently accommodates and conveys stormwater flows
adequately, and additional development under the Specific Plan is not expected to impede
stormwater conveyance. However, it is possible that new development within the Specific Plan area
would require on-site upgrades to serve the proposed new uses. Necessary improvements to site
hydrology may be required to accommodate redevelopment and would be identified as part of
review of proposed projects. While the location and extent of stormwater system improvements
necessary to service individual development projects is presently undetermined, specific
information regarding the improvement or construction of these facilities would be determined
prior to approval of a proposed project. Any construction of necessary facilities would be subject to
applicable State and City development codes and regulations.As part of the development review of
individual projects, additional CEQA review may be required, which would analyze potential effects
including the potential alteration of the existing system.The Specific Plan EIR concluded that build
out of the Specific Plan would not have significant adverse effects to the environment resulting from
the construction of additional storm drain infrastructure, and impacts are considered less than
significant.
Commercial, industrial, and residential uses anticipated to occur under Specific Plan implementation
would incrementally increase water demand throughout the development of the Specific Plan area.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that the increased demand for water in the Specific Plan area
would have the potential to result in the need for new or expanded water infrastructure and/or
water supplies. While redevelopment of the Specific Plan area would result in a projected net
increase in water demand by approximately 560.3 acre-ft/yr,the MWDOC and the City currently
project an estimated 11,800 acre-ft/yr of potable water will be available at the time of build out of
the Specific Plan, approximately 1,025 acre-feet more than current demands. Individual
developments within the Specific Plan area would be required to obtain a Will Serve letter from the
district prior to planning approval.As such,the MWD, MWDOC, and the City anticipate their ability
to meet full-service demands through 2040 during both normal, dry, and multiple dry years. Further,
increasing reliance on recycled water, City-mandated water efficiency requirements, water
conservation measures, and implementation of higher efficiency systems would contribute to
decreased water demands within the Specific Plan area.Therefore, while implementation of the
Specific Plan would result in an increase in water demand, impacts to existing and projected City
water supply are considered less than significant.
Under implementation of the Specific Plan, redevelopment of the Specific Plan area is expected to
result in a net increase of approximately 258,010 sf of retail, industrial, commercial, warehouse, and
office development and 491 residential units.This would result in an increase in solid waste
generation and a subsequent need for waste disposal.According to the Specific Plan, the estimated
potential net increase in solid waste generation in the Specific Plan area is 4,828.76 pounds (Ibs) of
solid waste per day, equating to 2.41 tpd.Assuming the required diversion rate of 75 percent is

P:\ORC1601\Environmental\Addendum\Revised Addendum 12-2019.docx(12/20/19)
INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT
DECEMBER 2019 PROJECT No. P1-128
applied,this would result in up to an additional 1.81 tpd of non-recyclable waste that would need to
be disposed in a landfill. It is not anticipated that an additional net 258,010 sf of development would
substantially strain Rainbow Environmental Services' ability to service the Specific Plan area. In
addition, the MRF has available capacity to receive and process an additional 1,000 tpd of solid
waste under their existing permit.As such,the MRF possesses adequate capacity to receive an
estimated 2.41 tpd of additional waste, or approximately 0.006 percent of the facility's permitted
daily capacity. Furthermore, disposal of approximately 1.81 tpd of non-recyclable solid waste at the
Frank R. Bowerman Landfill would incrementally contribute to the facility's typical daily intake and
would not result in exceedance of the facility's total daily capacity.Therefore, impacts resulting from
additional solid waste generation under the Specific Plan are considered less than significant.
California State law AB 341 requires that at least 75 percent of solid waste be diverted from landfills.
As previously discussed, solid waste generated by the Specific Plan area would be transported to an
MRF that separates and sorts solid waste to ensure a minimum of 75 percent is diverted for
recycling and reuse before being transported to the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill. In addition,
development under the Specific Plan would be required to comply with all applicable City solid
waste regulations, permitting processes, and policies in effect at the time of operation, including the
policies and regulations described under the City's Municipal Code Chapter 6.08, Solid Waste.
According to the Specific Plan EIR, as the City is in compliance with applicable State, federal, and
local regulations and implementation of the Specific Plan would not conflict with regulations related
to solid waste, no impact would occur.
4.19.3 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Would the Project exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional
Water Quality Control Board?
OCSD would be the wastewater treatment provider for the proposed Project.The proposed
Project would involve the operation of a new administration building, and as such, would result
in the generation of wastewater. However, as discussed in Section 4.14.3,the Project would not
represent a net increase in population or employees within the Specific Plan area. Because the
number of employees would not increase,there would be no net difference in wastewater
generation within the Specific Plan area compared to existing conditions. Wastewater produced
by the Project would meet NPDES requirements through treatment at the OCSD Plant No. 1 site.
In addition, the implementation of wastewater LID designs and BMPs required by the Specific
Plan would help meet wastewater quality treatment standards.Therefore, RWQCB wastewater
treatment requirements would not be exceeded, and potential impacts related to the proposed
Project are considered less than significant.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to exceedance of RWQCB wastewater
treatment requirements would be less than significant. Similarly,the Project is located within
the Specific Plan area and would not exceed RWQCB wastewater treatment requirements.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.

b. Would the Project require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment
facilities or expansion of existing facilities,the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects?
The proposed Project would involve the operation of a new administration building, and as such,
would result in the generation of wastewater. However, as discussed in Section 4.14.3,the
Project would not represent a net increase in population or employees within the Specific Plan
area because the administrative use would relocate existing OCSD personnel from MD Plant
No. 1 to the Project site. Because the number of employees would not increase, there would be
no net difference in wastewater generation within the Specific Plan area compared to existing
conditions.The Specific Plan EIR determined that build out of the Specific Plan, including the
Project site, would result in an increase in current wastewater flows by approximately 0.13
percent, and increases in wastewater flows would be fully treatable by existing facilities.
Because the Project would not increase regional wastewater flows and OCSD Reclamation Plant
No. 1 would have sufficient capacity to serve the Specific Plan area and Project demand in
addition to the provider's existing commitments,the Project would not require expansion of
existing wastewater treatment facilities or construction of new facilities.
Although the project would not increase the total wastewater generated in the Specific Plan
area,the relocation of existing MD personnel from Plant No. 1 to the Project site would have a
potential to increase wastewater generated on the Project site.Therefore, implementation of
the Project could generate increased sewage flows within the existing sewer system on and
adjacent to the Project site. Further, development of land uses under the Specific Plan could
incrementally trigger the need for expansion or replacement of individual sewer line segments,
resulting in potentially significant impacts. Implementation of MM UT-3 and compliance with
existing local regulations would ensure the funding of necessary improvements to the
wastewater system to serve future land uses anticipated to occur under the Specific Plan. With
assurance of adequate funds to finance the capital improvements necessary as provided for in
MM U-3, impacts would be reduced to less than significant with mitigation.Therefore, while
implementation of the Project would result in an increase in wastewater generation,the Project
would not necessitate new wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities,
and impacts are considered less than significant with mitigation.
The proposed Project would involve the operation of a new administration building, and as such,
would require water use. However, as discussed in Section 4.14.3,the Project would not
represent a net increase in population or employees within the Specific Plan area because the
administrative use would relocate existing OCSD personnel from MD Plant No. 1 to the Project
site. Because the number of employees would not increase,there would be no net difference in
water use within the Specific Plan area compared to existing conditions.
Although the Project would not increase the total water demand in the Specific Plan area,the
relocation of existing OCSD personnel from Plant No. 1 to the Project site would have a potential
to increase water demand on the Project site as compared to the existing on-site uses. The new
administration building proposed as part of the Project would have the potential to increase
water demand as compared to warehouse uses due to the greater number of people working at

the Project site, as well as the general increase in land use intensity that would occur. The
increased demand for water would have the potential to result in the need for additional water
supply infrastructure on and adjacent to the Project site.The Project could result in the need for
construction of new water facilities or the expansion of existing infrastructure such as upsizing
of certain pipeline segments. Due to the limited increase in water demand associated with the
Project, as well as conformance to mandated water supply infrastructure regulations and
standards, and with assurance of adequate funds to finance the capital improvements necessary
for the Project as described in MM UT-3, impacts to the environment due to potential
construction or expansion of water supply facilities are considered less than significant with
mitigation.Therefore, while implementation of the Project would result in an increase in water
demand, the Project would not necessitate new water treatment facilities or expansion of
existing facilities, and impacts are considered less than significant with mitigation.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to construction of new water or wastewater
treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities would be less than significant with
mitigation. Similarly,the Project is located within the Specific Plan area and would not require
construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities,
but would nonetheless incorporate the same Specific Plan mitigation to reduce impacts.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts, and no additional mitigation measures are required.Applicable mitigation
measures are outlined at the end of Section 4.19.3, below.
c. Would the Project require or result in the construction of new stormwater drainage facilities
or expansion of existing facilities,the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects?
The proposed Project would decrease impervious surface area on the Project site,which can
provide more opportunities for infiltration on the Project site. However, because the infiltration
potential of on-site soils is low, any increase in infiltration would be minimal. Additionally, the
Project would include drainage features that would continue to convey stormwater runoff to
the existing municipal storm drain system. In addition,the County MS4 Permit requires the
installation of landscaped areas or other pervious surfaces and implementation of LID and
stormwater BMPs to minimize and treat stormwater runoff.The proposed Project includes
bioretention basins in compliance with this requirement. Therefore, because the Project would
decrease stormwater runoff from the project site by reducing impervious surface area and
including BMPs,the Project would not necessitate new stormwater drainage facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, and impacts are considered less than significant.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to exceedance of the capacity of stormwater
drainage facilities would be less than significant. Similarly,the Project is located within the
Specific Plan area and would not exceed the capacity of stormwater drainage facilities.The
proposed Project requires implementation of drainage features and BMPs to minimize runoff
and flooding and would,therefore, not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified

in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts. No new mitigation measures are required.
d. Would the Project reduce sufficient water supplies available to serve the Project from existing
entitlements and resources,or require new or expanded entitlements?
Refer to Response 4.19.3 (b), above.The proposed Project would require water use related to
the operation of a new administration building. As discussed previously, new development
proposed as part of the Project would not represent a net increase in population because the
administrative use would provide work space for existing OCSD personnel. Consequently,the
Project would not increase water demand in the Specific Plan area compared to existing
conditions.Therefore,the Project would not result in the need for expanded or new water
supplies. As discussed in the Specific Plan EIR,the MWD, the MWDOC, and the City anticipate
their abilities to meet full-service demands through 2040 during both normal, dry, and multiple
dry years. Further, increasing reliance on recycled water, City-mandated water efficiency
requirements, water conservation measures, and implementation of higher efficiency systems
would contribute to decreased water demands within the Specific Plan area. In addition, the
Project would be required to obtain a Will Serve letter from OCWD prior to planning approval.
Therefore,while the Project would result in an increase in water demand, impacts to existing
and projected City water supply are considered less than significant.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to water supply would be less than significant.
Similarly,the Project is located within the Specific Plan area and sufficient water supplies are
available to serve the Project from existing entitlements and resources.Therefore,the proposed
Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan
EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no
new mitigation measures are required.
e. Would the Project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which
serves or may serve the Project that it has adequate capacity to serve the Project's projected
demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
Refer to Response 4.19.3 (b), above. OCSD Reclamation Plant No. 1 would have sufficient
capacity to serve the Specific Plan area and Project demand in addition to the provider's existing
commitments. As discussed previously, new development proposed as part of the Project would
not represent a net increase in population because the administrative use would provide work
space for existing OCSD personnel. Because the number of employees would not increase,there
would be no net difference in wastewater generation within the Specific Plan area compared to
existing conditions.Therefore, because implementation of the Project would not result in an
increase in wastewater generation,the Project would not exceed the capacity of wastewater
treatment facilities, and impacts are considered less than significant.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to wastewater treatment providers would be
less than significant with mitigation.The Project is located within the Specific Plan area, and
wastewater flows from the Project site can be accommodated by the existing wastewater plant.

Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts, and no additional mitigation measures are required.Applicable mitigation
measures are outlined in at the end of Section 4.19.3, below.
f. Would the Project be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate
the Project's solid waste disposal needs?
Refer to Response 4.19.3 (a), above.The operation of a new administration building as part of
the proposed Project would result in the generation of solid waste. During construction, waste
generation would increase as a result of the Project. As discussed previously, new development
proposed as part of the Project would not represent a net increase in population because the
administrative use would provide work space for existing OCSD personnel. Consequently, during
operation, waste generation would not be anticipated to increase compared to existing
conditions.Although construction of the Project would result in an increase in solid waste
generation and a subsequent need for waste disposal,the Specific Plan EIR concluded that
Rainbow Environmental Services would be able to adequately serve the Specific Plan area's
waste disposal needs.Thus, it is not anticipated that waste disposal required for the
administration building, one development within the Specific Plan area, would substantially
strain Rainbow Environmental Services' ability to service the Project.Therefore, impacts
resulting from additional solid waste generation under the Project are considered less than
significant.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to landfills would be less than significant.
Similarly,the Project is located within the Specific Plan area and would be served by a landfill
with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the Project's solid waste disposal needs.
Therefore,the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those
identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.
g. Would the Project conflict with federal,state,and local statutes and regulations related to
solid waste?
Refer to Response 4.19.3 (a), above.The operation of a new administration building as part of
the proposed Project would result in the generation of solid waste.The Project would comply
with all applicable City solid waste regulations, permitting processes, and policies in effect at the
time of operation, including the policies and regulations described under the City's Municipal
Code Chapter 6.08, Solid Waste. According to the Specific Plan EIR, as the City is in compliance
with applicable State,federal, and local regulations. Therefore,the Project would not conflict
with regulations related to solid waste, and no impact would occur.
The Specific Plan concluded that impacts related to solid waste would be less than significant.
Similarly,the Project is located within the Specific Plan area and would not conflict with federal,
State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste.Therefore, the proposed Project
would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a

substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and no new
mitigation measures are required.
4.19.3.1 Mitigation Measures
Based on the analysis and information above, Mitigation Measure MM UT-3, included in the Specific
Plan EIR, would be applicable to the proposed Project.
MM UT-3 FVCSP Utility Infrastructure Financing Program:The City shall ensure adequate
financing for funding of infrastructure improvements to serve the FVCSP through
implementation of the FVCSP Utility Infrastructure Financing Program, including
preparation of an AB 1600 fee justification study,for the FVCSP area.The Financing
Program shall be developed prior to the approval of the first entitlements for a
development within the Project area,following adoption of the Project. All new
development within the FVCSP shall be conditioned to be subject to payment of its
fair share of any impact fees identified under this program.The City shall determine
the costs of and establish a funding program for the following capital improvements
to upgrade water and wastewater delivery as needed to serve the demands of new
land uses anticipated to occur under the FVCSP.
The Program shall also:
a. Identify the cost of improvements to or replacement of undersized water and
wastewater lines within the FVCSP area needed to serve the Project.
b. Clearly apportion existing and projected demand on these facilities and costs
between existing users,the City, and proposed future development.
c. Identify potential funding mechanisms for sewer and water line construction,
including the equitable sharing of costs between new development, the City and
existing users, including development impact fees, grants, assessments, etc.
d. Identify development impact fees for all residential and non-residential
development to ensure that development pays its fair share of public
infrastructure costs.
e. Include a regular fee update schedule, consistent with the City's Capital
Improvement Program.
4.19.4 Findings Related to Utilities and Service Systems
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the
foregoing analysis and information,there is no evidence that the proposed Project requires a major
change to the Specific Plan EIR.The Project will not result in new significant environmental impacts
related to Utilities and Service Systems, and there is no substantial increase in the severity of
impacts described in the Specific Plan EIR.

No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR.There is no
information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial changes in
circumstances pertaining to Utilities and Service Systems that would require major changes to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than the Specific Plan EIR.This Initial
Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there is new
information that was not available at the time the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, which would
indicate that a new significant effect not reported in that document might occur. Based on the
information and analyses above,there is no substantial new information indicating that there would
be a new significant impact related to Utilities and Service Systems requiring major revisions to the
Specific Plan EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Specific Plan EIR. This
Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information and has determined that there is no new
information of substantial importance that was unknown and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Specific Plan EIR was certified indicating that: (1)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible,
and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the Project
proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or(2) mitigation measures or
alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Project proponent
declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
As discussed above,the proposed Project would result in a potentially significant impact related to
Utilities and Service Systems. Mitigation was included in the Specific Plan EIR and adopted at the
time the EIR was certified. The mitigation measure that is applicable to the proposed Project is listed
in Section 4.19.3.1. Potential Project impacts related to Utilities and Service Systems would be
reduced below a level of significance with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures,
none of which the Project proponent is declining to adopt.

a. Does the Project have the potential to degrade the quality
of the environment,substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species,cause a fish or wildlife population to
drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a ❑ ❑
plant or animal community,substantially reduce the
number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant
or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b. Does the Project have impacts that are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable?("Cumulatively
considerable"means that the incremental effects of a ❑ ❑
project are considerable when viewed in connection with
the effects of past projects,the effects of other current
projects,and the effects of probable future projects)?
c. Does the Project have environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,either ❑ ❑
directly or indirectly?
4.20.1 Analysis of Project Impacts
a. Does the Project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop
below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,substantially
reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory?
As discussed in Section 4.4 Biological Resources, of this Initial Study/Addendum,the Project site
is partially developed and is located in an urban area.The Project site does not contain an open
body of water that could serve as natural habitat in which fish could exist.The Project site does
not support any special-status wildlife or plant species or their habitats because the site is
currently developed and lacks natural habitat.The existing landscaping trees on the Project site
may, however, provide suitable habitat for nesting migratory birds.The removal of trees on the
Project site has the potential to impact active bird nests if vegetation and trees are removed
during the nesting season. However, Project construction would comply with the requirements
of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (META)to avoid impacts to active nests during the breeding
season. With compliance with the META, impacts to nesting birds would be less than significant.
For these reasons,the Project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, or substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan would result in less
than significant impacts to biological resources because the Specific Plan area is fully urbanized
and does not contain potential natural habitats for sensitive species and other natural

communities. Similarly,the Project would result in less than significant impacts to biological
resources because the Project site is located within the Specific Plan area and is fully urbanized
and developed. Neither the Specific Plan nor the proposed Project has the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, or substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal.As such,the proposed Project would not result in new significant
impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation is required.
As discussed in Section 4.5, Cultural Resources, of this Initial Study/Addendum, the Project site
has been previously disturbed and significantly altered as a result of past construction activities
on the site. Due to the developed nature of the site and surrounding area, it is likely that any
unknown archaeological or paleontological resources would have been unearthed at the time of
previous activities on the Project site. However, in the event that previously unknown cultural
resources are encountered, Project construction would comply with standard conditions
required by the City of Fountain Valley, detailed in Section 4.5, to ensure proper handling and
recovery of these resources.With compliance with standard conditions regulating the handling
and treatment of cultural resources,the Project would not have the potential to eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that, based on the limited potential for undiscovered cultural
resources to exist within the Specific Plan area and existing procedures and requirements
regulating the discovery of buried resources, impacts on cultural resources would be less than
significant. The Project site is located within the Specific Plan area and has limited potential for
cultural resources to exist on-site. In the event that unknown resources are discovered, Project
construction would comply with standard conditions required by the City of Fountain Valley
regulating the discovery of buried resources that would ensure impacts would be less than
significant. Neither the Specific Plan nor the proposed Project has the potential to eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. As such, the
proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts, and no new mitigation is required.
b. Does the Project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,the effects of other current
projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
The proposed Project would redevelop the Project site to replace the five existing industrial
warehouse buildings with an administration building and associated parking. Based on the
Project Description and the preceding responses, impacts related to the proposed Project are
less than significant or can be reduced to less than significant levels with incorporation of
mitigation measures.The proposed Project's contribution to any significant cumulative impacts
would be less than cumulatively considerable.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
PROJECT No. P1-128 DECEMBER 2019
Cumulative impacts for Agricultural and Forestry Resources, Biological Resources, Cultural
Resources, or Mineral Resources were not specifically discussed in the Specific Plan EIR because
implementation of the Specific Plan would have no impact or a less than significant impact on
these resources. However, because there would be no impact or impacts would be less than
significant for these resources,the Specific Plan would not result in significant cumulative
impacts related to these environmental topics.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that Cumulative Impacts would be less than significant for
Aesthetics, Air Quality, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous
Waste, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use, Operational Noise, Population and Housing,
Public Services, Utilities and Service Systems, Energy Conservation, and Tribal Cultural
Resources.
The Specific Plan EIR concluded that cumulative construction noise impacts and cumulative
construction traffic impacts would be less than significant with implementation of Mitigation
Measures MM N-1 and MM T-1, respectively.
Implementation of the Specific Plan EIR would result in significant and unavoidable impacts at
MacArthur Boulevard and Harbor Boulevard because the required improvements to mitigate
this impact would be infeasible due to the location within another jurisdiction. Cumulatively
considerable impacts to the intersection of Euclid Street and Newhope Street/Northbound 1-405
Ramps could be addressed through implementation of standard Caltrans' intersection
monitoring and periodic signal timing updates and would reduce impacts to this intersection to
less than significant levels once implemented. However, because the City has no control over
the timing and implementation of such improvements,the Specific Plan EIR concluded that
impacts to this intersection would be cumulatively considered temporarily significant and
unavoidable. Traffic impacts at all other intersections were concluded to be less than significant
or would be reduced to less than significant with mitigation.
As stated above, impacts related to the proposed Project are less than significant or can be
reduced to less than significant levels with incorporation of mitigation measures, and the Project
contribution to any significant cumulative impacts would be less than cumulatively considerable.
As detailed in the preceding sections, the proposed Project would not increase the severity of
impacts or result in new impacts beyond those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR.Therefore, the
proposed Project would not result in new significant cumulative impacts beyond those identified
in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts. No new mitigation is required.
c. Does the Project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
The Project site is currently developed and is located in an urban area.The proposed Project
would redevelop the Project site to replace the five existing industrial warehouse buildings with
an administration building and associated parking.The design of the proposed Project would be
consistent with the existing City zoning and General Plan designations for the site and the

development standards of the Specific Plan. Based on the Project Description and the preceding
responses, development of the proposed Project would not cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, hazardous materials, and noise,
because all potentially significant impacts of the Revised Project can be mitigated to a less than
significant level.Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in new significant impacts
beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation is required.
4.20.1.1 Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is required beyond those specified in Sections 4.1 through 4.19.
4.20.2 Findings Related to Mandatory Findings of Significance
No New Significant Effects Requiring Major Revisions to the Specific Plan EIR. Based on the

AESTHETICS
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to aesthetics. No mitigation would be
required for the proposed Project.
AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to agricultural and forestry resources. No
mitigation would be required for the proposed Project.
AIR QUALITY
Based on the analysis and information contained in the Initial Study/Addendum, Mitigation
Measures MM AQ-5a, MM AQ-5b, and MM AQ-5d through MM AQ-5f included in the Specific Plan
EIR would not be applicable to the proposed Project because the proposed Project would not
include new sensitive receptors within 500 ft of the 1-405 freeway,would not include any
distribution center, rail yard, refinery, chrome plater, dry cleaning operation, or gas station uses,
and would not impact any existing off-site sensitive receptors to TACs associated with the proposed
Project.
Based on the analysis contained in the Initial Study/Addendum, Mitigation Measure MM AQ-5c,
included in the Specific Plan EIR,would be applicable to the proposed Project. No additional
mitigation measures related to air quality beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR are
required.
MM AQ-Sc Placement of Air System Intake. When considering placement and direction of air
intakes,the direction of prevailing winds shall be considered and the most logical
decision shall be made. Design of the proposed development shall face air systems
intakes appropriately, so as to reduce highly concentrated air pollution intake,
considering placement on the opposite side of the building from the pollutant
source. Development and HVAC system design shall be reviewed and approved by
the City Planning and Building Department prior to issuance of a building permit.
Monitoring and maintenance of HVAC systems and air intakes shall be conducted by
the Applicant on a semiannual basis to ensure efficiency of the systems for
development permits involving land uses that include or potentially affect sensitive
populations.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to biological resources. No mitigation
would be required for the proposed Project.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to cultural resources. No mitigation would

ENERGY CONSERVATION
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to energy conservation. No mitigation
would be required for the proposed Project.
GEOLOGY AND SOILS
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to geology and soils. No mitigation would
be required for the proposed Project.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
The Specific Plan EIR does not include mitigation related to GHG emissions. No mitigation would be

HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Based on the analysis contained in the Initial Study/Addendum, Mitigation Measure MM HAZ-1
included in the Specific Plan EIR,would be applicable to the proposed Project. No additional
mitigation measures related to hazards and hazardous materials beyond those identified in the
Specific Plan EIR are required.
MM HAZ-1 Phase I ESA. Prior to demolition of a building or structure and/or excavation of
subsurface improvements, project applicants of site specific development projects
in the Project area shall prepare a Phase I ESA. Consistent with local, state and
federal regulations, the Phase I ESA shall be subject to City review and address the
following:
• ACM, LBP, and PCBs. Prior to the issuance of any demolition or excavation
permit,the Applicant shall conduct a comprehensive survey of ACM, LBP, and
PCBs. If such hazardous materials are found to be present,the Applicant shall
follow all applicable local, state, and federal codes and regulations, as well as
applicable best management practices, related to the treatment, handling, and
disposal of ACM, LBP, and PCBs to ensure public safety.
• Potential On-Site Hazardous Materials or Conditions.A visual survey and
reconnaissance-level investigation of the existing site shall be conducted to
determine if there are any structures or features within or near the buildings
that are used to store, contain, or dispose of hazardous materials or waste. For
any development within the Project area that has not been subject to a Phase I
ESA or successful remediation efforts in the past, a Phase I ESA shall be
performed to determine the likelihood of contaminants in areas beyond what
has already been assessed in accordance with USEPA ASTM Practice E 1527-05

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT:
HEADQUARTERS COMPLEX SITE PREPARATION, PROJECT NO. P1-128C
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve a Professional Construction Services Agreement with HDR, Inc. to provide
construction support services for Headquarters Complex Site Preparation, Project No. P1-
128C, for a total amount not to exceed $178,000; and
B. Approve a contingency of $17,800 (10%).
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) is replacing the existing Administration
Building and other buildings at Plant No. 1 with a new Headquarters Building north of Ellis Avenue
across from Plant No. 1.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure the public's money is wisely spent
• Comply with California Government Code Section 4526 to engage the best qualified firm "on
the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications" and negotiate fair and reasonable
fees"
PROBLEM
Existing buildings on the site north of Ellis Avenue need to be demolished for construction of the
Headquarters Complex. The main construction project will take longer to complete if these buildings
are not demolished in advance.
This project requires the design consultant to provide as-needed services during construction
including submittal review, responding to Contractor's requests for information, reviewing
construction change orders, participating in meetings, site visits, and preparing record drawings.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award a Professional Construction Services Agreement for Headquarters Complex Site Preparation,
Project No. P1-128C, with the design consultant HDR, Inc.
TIMING CONCERNS
Engineering support services will be required at the start of construction. Construction is anticipated
to start in July 2020.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The engineering support services needed to facilitate and review construction activities would not be
available by the Engineer of Record, which may negatively impact the contract execution.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
June 2016 - Approved a Professional Design Services Agreement with HDR, Inc. to provide
engineering design services for the architectural and engineering design services for the
Headquarters Complex, Site and Security, and Entrance Realignment Program, Project No. P1-128,
for an amount not to exceed $11,785,709, and approved a contingency of $1,178,571 (10%).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
HDR, Inc. has successfully furnished engineering services for the design of this project and their
support services during construction will provide continuity through the completion of the project.
Staff negotiated with HDR, Inc. for these support services in accordance with the Sanitation District's
adopted policies and procedures. A review of the proposed price was conducted using estimated
quantities of requests for information, submittals, meetings, site visits, change order review, and
design revisions, as well as the level of effort for preparing record drawings. Based on this review,
staff determined the negotiated fee to be fair and reasonable for these services.
CEQA
On January 23, 2018, the City of Fountain Valley certified the Program Environmental Impact Report
for the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse No. 2015101042) that
evaluated the total buildout of the Specific Plan area with a goal of revitalizing the existing light
industrial use.
Following that, the Sanitation District prepared an Initial Study/Addendum for the Administrative
Headquarters Building, Project No. P1-128, dated December 2019, to the City's Program
Environmental Impact Report. The addendum concluded that no further environmental review was
required. (Public Resources Code Section 21166; CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.)
A Notice of Determination will be filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder after the Sanitation
District Board approval of the construction contract for the Headquarters Complex Site Preparation,
Project No. P1-128C.

Revised 072619 HEADQUARTERS COMPLEX SITE PREPARATION

22. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend (at
CONSULTANT's sole cost and expense and with legal counsel approved by the
SANITATION DISTRICT, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), protect
and hold harmless the SANITATION DISTRICT and all of SANITATION DISTRICT's
officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (collectively the "Indemnified
Parties"), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, causes of action,
suits, arbitration awards, losses,judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses
including without limitation, attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs, and all other
professional, expert or consultants fees and costs and the SANITATION DISTRICT's
general and administrative expenses (individually, a "Claim", or collectively, "Claims")
which may arise from or are in any manner related, directly or indirectly, to any work
performed, or any operations, activities, or services provided by CONSULTANT in
carrying out its obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the negligent,
recklessness and/or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents,
employees, CONSULTANT's suppliers, consultants, subconsultants, subcontractors,
and/or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them, regardless of any
contributing negligence or strict liability of an Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require CONSULTANT to indemnify the
Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from:
(A) the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or
(B) a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or
(C) the independent action of a third party who is neither one of the Indemnified Parties
nor the CONSULTANT, nor its principal, officer, agent, employee, nor
CONSULTANT's supplier, consultant, subconsultant, subcontractor, nor anyone
employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
Exceptions (A) through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from Claims arising from
more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would otherwise result in the
obligation to indemnify hereunder.
CONSULTANT's liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any liability
CONSULTANT may have to the SANITATION DISTRICT for a breach by
CONSULTANT of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Under no circumstances
shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to
limit CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation or other liability hereunder.
The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the
parties hereto. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without
limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed
against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
PCSA CONTRACT NO. P1-128C
Revised 072619 HEADQUARTERS COMPLEX SITE PREPARATION
Page 16 of 19
23. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code Section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
24. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE
The CONSULTANT's performance shall be evaluated by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The
evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by the SANITATION
DISTRICT and may be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes.
25. COMPLIANCE WITH SANITATION DISTRICT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
CONSULTANT shall comply with all SANITATION DISTRICT policies and procedures
including the OCSD Safety Standards, as applicable, all of which may be amended from
time to time.
26. CLOSEOUT
When the SANITATION DISTRICT determines that all Work authorized under the
Agreement is fully complete and that the SANITATION DISTRICT requires no further
work from CONSULTANT, or the Agreement is otherwise terminated or expires in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the SANITATION DISTRICT shall give the
Consultant written notice that the Agreement will be closed out. CONSULTANT shall
submit all outstanding billings, work submittals, deliverables, reports or similarly related
documents as required under the Agreement within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of
Agreement closeout.
Upon receipt of CONSULTANT's submittals, the SANITATION DISTRICT shall
commence a closeout audit of the Agreement and will either:
PCSA CONTRACT NO. P1-128C
Revised 072619 HEADQUARTERS COMPLEX SITE PREPARATION
Page 17 of 19
i. Give the CONSULTANT a final Agreement Acceptance: or
ii. Advise the CONSULTANT in writing of any outstanding item or items which must be
furnished, completed, or corrected at the CONSULTANT's cost.
CONSULTANT shall be required to provide adequate resources to fully support any
administrative closeout efforts identified in this Agreement. Such support must be
provided within the timeframe requested by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
Notwithstanding the final Agreement Acceptance the CONSULTANT will not be relieved
of its obligations hereunder, nor will the CONSULTANT be relieved of its obligations to
complete any portions of the work, the non-completion of which were not disclosed to
the SANITATION DISTRICT (regardless of whether such nondisclosures were
fraudulent, negligent, or otherwise); and the CONSULTANT shall remain obligated under
all those provisions of the Agreement which expressly or by their nature extend beyond
and survive final Agreement Acceptance.
Any failure by the SANITATION DISTRICT to reject the work or to reject the
CONSULTANT's request for final Agreement Acceptance as set forth above shall not be
deemed to be acceptance of the work by the SANITATION DISTRICT for any purpose
nor imply acceptance of, or agreement with, the CONSULTANT's request for final
Agreement Acceptance.
27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the
Parties and supersedes all previous negotiations between them pertaining to the subject
matter thereof.

BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) is subject to environmental regulatory
oversight by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Regional Water Quality Control Board
(Santa Ana Region), California Air Resources Board, and South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD). These regulatory bodies require routine reporting, which is prepared by the
Sanitation District's Environmental Services Department. These reports include:
1. Annual Biosolids Report (40 CFR Part 503) required by the Sanitation District's NPDES permit
for ocean discharge. Due February 19th of every year.
2. Annual and Semi-Annual Pretreatment Program Reports required by the Sanitation District's
NDPES permit. Due October 31 st and March 31 st, respectively, of every year.
3. Annual Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions required by CARB. This report
uses an online portal for report preparation and submission. Due April 10th of every year.
4. Annual Emission Report required by SCAQMD. Due early-mid March of every year.
5. Annual Marine Monitoring Report required by the Sanitation District's NPDES ocean discharge
permit. Due March 15th of every year.
RELEVANT STANDARDS

• Safe, beneficial reuse of biosolids
• Comply with transparency and communication requirements, including the Brown Act
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Environmental regulatory reporting is required by local, state, and federal regulatory bodies to ensure
protection of water, air, and land resources. Some of the routine reporting is completed using online
reporting portals, which may perform calculations based on user input of operational data. The
following key regulatory reports were filed recently.
The Biosolids Annual Report contains details about the management of the Sanitation District's
biosolids, including volume, quality, and locations. In 2019, the Sanitation District produced
approximately 632 tons of biosolids per day, including digester cleanings. The biosolids are
anaerobically digested and dried to about 24-25% solids. The biosolids are managed via composting
and land application. The Biosolids Annual Report was submitted electronically as required by EPA's
Electronic Reporting Rule.
Under its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, the Sanitation District is required to
establish and implement an approved pretreatment program to control the level of pollutants
discharged into the sewer system. The Sanitation District is also required to submit Pretreatment
Program Annual and Semi-Annual Reports detailing the status of the approved program. The reports
identified herein contain information about all industrial dischargers permitted by both the Sanitation
District and the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA). The Annual and Semi-Annual
reports were successfully completed and submitted prior to the October 31, 2019 and March 31,
2020 deadlines, respectively.
The SCAQMD's Annual Emissions Report (AER) represents a facility's annual inventory of criteria
pollutants (VOC, NOx, SOx, CO, PM) and toxic air emissions. The emissions are calculated based
on throughput volume and emissions measured at applicable process areas and emission units. The
report assesses fees based on a facility's emissions of air contaminants for the reportable year, as
specified in SCAQMD Rule 301. The AER reports for Plants Nos.1 and 2 are prepared and
submitted using SCAQMD's web-based emission reporting tool. For calendar year 2019, Plant No. 1
emitted approximately 27.0 tons of criteria pollutants and the Sanitation District paid total fees in the
amount of$12,786.93. For the same reporting period, Plant No. 2 emitted approximately 27.4 tons of
criteria pollutants and the Sanitation District paid total fees in the amount of $12,511.17. The reports
were completed and submitted prior to the March 17 deadline.
In accordance with the California Global Warming Solutions Act (Assembly Bill 32, 2006), the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires all major sources that directly emit Greenhouse
Gases (GHG) to report their GHG emissions resulting from their combustion of fuel and importation
of electrical power for each calendar year. The GHG inventory report focuses primarily on the
emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N20). Similar to SCAQMD's
AER reporting portal, the GHG report is electronically submitted via CARB's Cal e-GGRT reporting
system. For calendar year 2019, Plant No. 1 reported roughly 23,359 metric tons of CO2 emissions,
while Plant No. 2 reported approximately 34,920 metric tons of CO2 emissions. The reports were
electronically submitted on April 10, 2020.

The Sanitation District has completed its annual report for the marine monitoring program as required
by its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit which evaluates and measures
potential impacts to water quality, sediment chemistry, fish and invertebrate community, fish health,
and sediment toxicity. The Sanitation District's ocean monitoring program has three required
components: Core Monitoring, Regional Monitoring, and Strategic Process Studies, and this
comprehensive program is implemented through rigorous monitoring of benthic sediments for
chemical deposition, changes in biological communities, and the health of fish living near the
Sanitation District's ocean outfall. Additionally, the program is tasked with profiling plume dynamics
from the effluent discharge and with monitoring water chemistry, oxygen availability, and physical
conditions throughout the water column to ensure regulatory compliance. This report summarizes
data collected from July 2018 through June 2019 and was electronically submitted by the March 15,
2020 deadline.
As the Sanitation District continues to make advancements to the wastewater treatment processes,
our marine monitoring program continues to show improvement of environmental health around the
outfall and outer monitoring area. Water quality measurements demonstrate no negative
environmental impacts from the Sanitation District's effluent and brine discharge. Sediment
concentrations of metals and organic contaminants were well below the protective thresholds.
Marine invertebrates and fish have shown comparable abundances near the outfall and non-outfall
stations alike. Concentrations of trace metals and chlorinated pesticides in fish tissue (muscle and/or
liver) were well below federal and state human consumption thresholds and comparable across
outfall and non-outfall stations.

PERMITS AND CERTIFICATIONS
1.0 PERMITS AND CERTIFICATION
1.1 Introduction
Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) industrial wastewater discharge permits and certifications
provide the means to limit the discharge of specific pollutants from industrial facilities and to establish a
pollutant inventory from industrial dischargers. The following sections describe the types and quantities
of OCSD permits issued and deactivated for the period July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
There are seven permit & certification classifications for users that are administrated by OCSD's
Pretreatment Program: Class I Permits, Class II Permits, Wastehauler Discharge Permits, Special
Purpose Discharge Permits, Dry Weather Urban Runoff Discharge Permits, Fats/Oil/Grease (FOG)
Permits, and Discharge Certifications.
1.2 Class I Permits
During this reporting period, six (6) new permits were issued, and seven (7) permits were deactivated for
those users who:
a. are subject to Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards; or
b. average 25,000 gallons per day or more of regulated process wastewater; or
c. have been determined by the General Manager to have a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting OCSD's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard, local limit, or discharge
requirement; or
d. may cause, as determined by the General Manager, pass-through or interference with OCSD
sewerage facilities.
1.3 Class II Permits
During this reporting period, no new permits were issued, and no permits deactivated for those users
who:
a. have a charge for use greater than the ad valorem tax basic levy allocated to OCSD, and
b. discharge waste other than sanitary, and
c. are not otherwise required to obtain a Class I Permit.
1.4 Wastehauler Permits
During this reporting period, four (4) new permits were issued for those users who are engaged in
vehicular transport and disposal of acceptable domestic waste into OCSD's wastehauler station.
1.5 Special Purpose Discharge Permits
During this reporting period, six (6) new permits were issued and eight (8) permits were deactivated for
those users who discharge groundwater, subsurface drainage, unpolluted water, or other wastewater to
OCSD's system. This permit is granted when no alternative method of disposal is reasonably available or
to mitigate an environmental risk or a health hazard.
1-1
1.6 Urban Runoff Permits
OCSD accepts the diversion of urban runoff to the sewer for treatment to remediate various public health
and environmental problems which are infeasible to economically or practically control through traditional
stormwater best management practices. Originally established to protect and improve the recreational
waters along Orange County's coastal shoreline from bacterial pollution, the role of the Dry Weather
Urban Runoff Program has expanded to include the mediation of selenium-laden waters reaching the
Upper Newport Bay.
The Resource Protection Division administers the Urban Runoff Diversion Program through the issuance
of a discharge permit for each of the diversion structures. The permit establishes discharge limits,
constituent monitoring, and flow metering requirements, as well as provides guidelines that specifically
prohibit storm runoff and authorizes discharge only during periods of dry weather. OCSD also conducts
quarterly sampling and analysis of the urban runoff discharges to ensure discharge limit compliance with
the various regulated constituents.
There are currently twenty-one (21) active Urban Runoff diversions under permit; three (3) owned and
operated by the County of Orange, eleven (11) owned and operated by the City of Huntington Beach,
three (3) owned and operated by the Irvine Ranch Water District, three (3) owned and operated by the
City of Newport Beach, and one (1) owned and operated by PH Finance (present owner of the Pelican
Hill Resort). There were no new diversions added to the Urban Runoff Diversion Program during this
reporting period.
1.7 FOG (Fats, Oil, and Grease) Permits
OCSD's Resource Protection Division facilitated the effort to develop a regional FOG Control Program to
regulate the quantity and quality of FOG-laden wastewater that is discharged into the sewerage system
from food service establishments (FSEs). OCSD currently manages the FOG control program for 38
FSEs that discharge directly into OCSD owned trunklines in the City of Orange.
During this reporting period, OCSD renewed eight (8) FOG permits to existing permittees, and one (1)
FOG permittee was deactivated. No new FSEs were identified in OCSD's direct service area.
1.8 Discharge Certifications
During this reporting period, no new Discharge Certifications were issued, and none were deactivated.
One (1) new Zero Discharge Certification was issued, and one (1) deactivated for those industries that
have operations subject to a federal category regulated by the EPA, but do not discharge industrial
wastewater generated from these operations to the sewer.
1.9 Summary of Permits and Certifications in Effect
A summary of permit and certification activity during the July 1 through December 31, 2019 period, is
shown in Table 1.1.

ENFORCEMENT
2.0 ENFORCEMENT
2.1 Introduction
The goal of the Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD) industrial wastewater enforcement program is to
bring its permitted industrial users into compliance with OCSD's Wastewater Discharge Regulations
(Ordinance) terms, conditions, and limits, and to control and reduce industrial pollutants. In addition to
assessing noncompliance fees, issuing Notices of Violation, and sending compliance letters, other types of
enforcement actions are conducted for industrial violators when appropriate. These actions include
compliance requirements, compliance inspections, compliance meetings, Probation Orders, Enforcement
Compliance Schedule Agreements (ECSAs), Regulatory Compliance Schedule Agreements (RCSAs),
Administrative Penalties, Permit Suspension, Permit Revocation, and Emergency Suspension Orders.
This report describes the enforcement actions that OCSD initiated or continued against noncompliant
permittees for the semi-annual reporting period of July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
Appendix 1 of this report, entitled Monitoring and Compliance Status Report, contains information regarding
the number of industrial inspections and the number of OCSD and self-monitoring samples taken for each
Class I permittee for the first and second quarters of Fiscal Year 2019/20. Each permittee's name, permit
number, and address are given in the first three columns. Additional columns present the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS)code, applicable pretreatment regulation, the number of performed
inspections, the number of completed samples, the pollutant(s) in discharge violations, and other applicable
comments, including name changes and permit issuances/deactivations.
2.2 Compliance Inspections
When a permittee is determined to be violating discharge limits, an engineer and an inspector conduct special
inspections to identify and assess the noncompliance issues, require corrective actions, and monitor the
progress of those permittees operating under the terms and conditions of ECSAs/RCSAs.
Thirty-seven (37) compliance inspections were conducted during the first and second quarters.
2.3 Compliance Meetings
Compliance meetings are called because of a permittee's failure to achieve compliance with permit and/or
Ordinance discharge, record-keeping, or other requirements. The meetings are held with OCSD staff to
discuss issues and proposed solutions.
Fifteen (15) compliance meetings were conducted during the first and second quarters.
2.4 Compliance Requirement Letters
Compliance requirement letters are issued to require a permittee to comply with a specific condition of the
permit and/or Ordinance, or to notify the permittee of an enforcement in accordance with the Enforcement
Response Plan, such as a compliance meeting.
Twenty-Six (26) compliance requirement letters were issued during the first and second quarters.
2.5 Order to Cease/Terminate Non-Compliance/Discharge
Orders are issued where a permittee is continually non-compliant or has committed one or more significant
violations of the permit and/or Ordinance. The Order requires a permittee to comply with a specific condition
2-1
of the permit and/or Ordinance and may notify the permittee of escalated enforcement in accordance with the
Enforcement Response Plan, such as a compliance meeting.
Nine (9) orders to cease/terminate non-compliance/discharge were issued during the first and second
quarters.
2.6 Notices of Violation
A Notice of Violation (NOV) is a written notification from OCSD that references findings from recent sampling
programs and indicates that specific violations of the permittees' discharge limits have occurred. The NOV
is usually accompanied by non-compliance sampling and/or processing fees. The NOV instructs the
permittee to take immediate action to correct the problem.
Sixty (60) Notices of Violation were issued in the first and second quarters.
2.7 Probation Orders
Pursuant to Section 603.1 of OCSD's Ordinance, a Probation Order may be issued if a permittee has violated
any terms, conditions, or limits of its discharge permit or OCSD's Ordinance, or has not paid all amounts
owed to OCSD. The term of the Probation Order may not exceed 90 days and the permittee is required to

A& R Powder Coating, Inc. (Permit No. 1-021088)
A& R Powder Coating, Inc. (A & R) performs powder coating and painting. Cold rolled steel and aluminum
parts are brought in by outside customers. The parts are processed through an iron phosphate conversion
coating line and then heated briefly in an oven to dry off residual moisture prior to spray painting or powder
coating per customer requirements. A & R employs a batch holding tank to store wastewater from the iron
phosphate wash line. The batch is reportedly allowed to sit overnight and checked for zinc concentration with
a Hach field test kit periodically, with the results entered onto a logbook. After testing and inspection, the
tank is drained the next morning into a small three-stage clarifier. The holding tank is opaque and has a
conical bottom for ease of inspection and solids removal, and a cartridge filter system is installed on the inlet
plumbing line to remove solids during transfer of the rinse water from the wash line.
In June 2019, A& R Powder Coating (A& R) had a molybdenum violation.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On August 8,2019,OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the previous month's molybdenum noncompliance.
On September 4, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and resampling. The iron phosphate
solution used at A & R had previously been identified to be the source of violation as it contained sodium
molybdate. During the inspection, A & R mentioned that in mid-August, shortly after receiving the Notice of
Violation, A & R pumped out the tanks and clarifier and replaced the iron phosphate solution with a non-
molybdate chemical to prevent future violations. The resampling results showed compliance.
A& R had no further violations during this reporting period. OCSD will continue to monitor A& R's discharge
and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Accurate Circuit Engineering (Permit No. 1-011138)
Accurate Circuit Engineering (Accurate)is a printed circuit board (PCB)manufacturer with an in-house design
and engineering team,as well as large scale manufacturing operations. Accurate manufactures various types
of PCBs, including rigid single sided, rigid double-sided, and rigid multilayer. Wastewater is primarily
generated by the photo developing operations, etching, scrubbing via hyoki, alkaline cleaning, Cobra bond
micro-etch, black oxide line, electroless copper and electrolytic copper plating, screen wash booths, cross-
sectional grinding and associated rinses. Pretreatment consists of continuous ion exchange and hydroxide
precipitation.
In April 2019, Accurate had silver daily and monthly average discharge limit violations, as well as a copper
monthly average discharge limit violation. In May 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the silver daily
limit violation. OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which it was determined that the silver
recovery unit was not operating properly and Accurate was not verifying silver compliance before discharging
to the sewer. Accurate opted to wastehaul all developer wastewater to avoid future silver violations.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 1, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the April 2019 copper and silver monthly limit
violations. Accurate had no further violations during this reporting period. OCSD will continue to monitor
Accurate's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Active Plating, Inc. (Permit No. 1-011115)
Active Plating, Inc. (Active Plating) is a job shop metal finishing facility. Active Plating performs zinc plating
with clear and gold chromate conversion coating on steel, and chemfilm operations on aluminum parts. Parts
are generally used in electronics or computer applications. Wastewater is segregated between hexavalent
chrome bearing operations and other metal-bearing/alkaline wastestreams. Pretreatment consists of
2-6
chromium reduction, hydroxide precipitation, with settling and flocculation in two parallel clarification tanks.
Active Plating has pH and ORP probes connected to an advanced programmable logic controller which
automates the treatment system.
In April 2018, Active Plating had a zinc violation, and was issued a Notice of Violation. In May 2018, OCSD
conducted a Compliance Inspection during which the pH and ORP probes were found not operating properly.
OCSD also noted that Active Plating periodically takes one of the clarification tanks off-line for batch treatment
or solids removal. When this occurs, floc carry-over into the sample point becomes an issue due to reduced
treatment capacity. In June 2018, OCSD held a Compliance Meeting with Active Plating during which the
company was required to come up with a long-term solution for implementing effective process controls and
treatment when one clarification tank is offline. The company was also required to submit detailed
pretreatment system drawings and an updated facility plot plan.
In October 2018, Active Plating had another zinc violation, and was issued another Notice of Violation. In
December 2018, OCSD conducted a follow-up Compliance Inspection during which treatment concerns
involving hydraulic capacity of the system were identified. Hence, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements
Letter to Active Plating to address the noted deficiency.
In January 2019, OCSD held a Compliance Meeting with Active Plating to discuss corrective actions. In April
2019,OCSD issued a Probation Order providing deadlines for corrective actions. In June 2019, OCSD issued
another Compliance Requirement Letter extending Probation Order deadlines.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On September 4, 2019, OCSD observed a flexible hose discharging city water into Active Plating's sample
point while Active Plating was conducting self-monitoring. Thus, on September 24, 2019, OCSD issued an
Order to Cease Noncompliant Discharges requiring the company to take immediate corrective actions to
prevent dilution sources. Additionally, on September 24, 2019, OCSD issued a follow-up Compliance
Requirements Letter to address Active Plating's failure to submit documents required in the Probation Order
and attend a Compliance Meeting. On October 29, 2019, OCSD held the Compliance Meeting with Active
Plating, during which OCSD informed Active Plating of its intention to issue an Administrative Complaint.
Active Plating expressed interest in settling the matters with OCSD. An Administrative Complaint Settlement
Agreement will be issued during the next reporting period.
Advance Tech Plating, Inc. (Permit No. 1-021389)
Advance Tech Plating, Inc. (ATP) is a job shop metal finishing facility. The facility performs anodizing and
passivation on steel and aluminum parts and some copper/brass parts. Operations at ATP start with
precleaning and etching, then deoxidizing with muriatic acid and anodizing with sulfuric acid, followed by
chem filming and dye coloring per customer specification. To protect the dyed surface, the parts are dipped
in a clear anoseal followed by final rinsing and drying. Majority of the wastewater is generated from the
rinsing operations. ATP operates a continuous and a batch pretreatment system which consists of chrome
reduction, pH adjustment, flocculation, metal precipitation and clarification. ATP utilizes a filter press for
sludge dewatering.
In May 2019, ATP had pH violations and major zinc, copper, and nickel daily and monthly average discharge
limit violations. OCSD issued ATP Notices of Violation along with an Order to Cease Noncompliant
Discharges due to the severity of the violations. OCSD also conducted a Compliance Inspection during which
ATP was directed to stop noncompliant discharges and determine the cause of the violations. ATP submitted
a response letter indicating that a clogged discharge tube on the sodium hydroxide metering pump led to a
low pH and, hence, incomplete treatment of metals. ATP's corrective actions included installation of a low
pH alarm and a recirculation line, which would allow ATP to recirculate noncompliant wastewater back into
the treatment tanks.
2-7
In June 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirement Letter directing ATP to attend a Compliance Meeting
to discuss the violations. During the Compliance Meeting, ATP was directed to take the following additional
corrective measures: automating the low pH recirculation line with, having a qualified operator present during
all discharge hours, maintaining the pretreatment tanks, good housekeeping, and performing a hydraulic
evaluation of the pretreatment system.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 9,2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter requiring ATP to have a qualified operator
present during all discharge hours, maintain the pretreatment tanks, have good housekeeping, and perform
a hydraulic evaluation of the pretreatment system by the end of August 2019. On August 6,2019, ATP had
multiple major zinc violations. On August 8 and August 21, 2019, Notices of Violation were issued to ATP
to address the May 2019 monthly limit violations and the most recent zinc violations, respectively. On
September 9, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which ATP attributed the violation to
malfunctioning pH and ORP controllers. The malfunction was due to an issue with the grounding of the
controller which was immediately fixed upon discovery. OCSD once more emphasized the importance of
installation of pH alarm and automatic controller to prevent future violations and required ATP to record and
maintain a batch treatment log on site. ATP also mentioned that due to lack of a qualified operator on the
second shift,the facility plans to operate the continuous pretreatment system only during the first shift. During
the second shift, all generated industrial wastewater is to be routed to the batch treatment tank. The operator
then treats the batch the following day and will gradually bleed the partially treated wastewater to the
continuous system.
The installation of a low/high pH alarm and automatic controller was completed and confirmed on October
7, 2019. At OCSD's direction, ATP conducted multi-day sampling starting October 7, 2019 until October
12, 2019 to verify compliance after the installation. The multi-day sampling results showed compliance. On
November 4, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the August 2019 zinc monthly limit violation.
Furthermore, OCSD increased the frequency of ATP's heavy metals self-monitoring requirements from
monthly to weekly effective December 1, 2019.
OCSD will continue to monitor ATP's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Alliance Medical Products, Inc. (Permit No. 1-541182)
Alliance Medical Products, Inc. (Alliance) is a manufacturer of medical surgical devices along with aqueous
and injectable drugs which are produced under aseptic conditions. Medical devices include corneal storage
media, ocular implants and other clinical products. Other manufactured items include medical delivery
devices, sterile ointments and gels, as well as several clinical products that are considered combination
products by the FDA. Wastewater is generated from the aseptic sterile filling process, cleaning of glassware
in the labs, production of steam for the autoclaves, rinsing and cleaning of manufacturing equipment and
tooling, and surplus injection water not utilized during a production run. The wastewater is discharged to the
sewer without any form of pretreatment.
In June 2019, Alliance had a pH violation.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 9, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the previous month's pH violation. On August 2,
2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which Alliance indicated that the source of the
violation is the Clean in Place (CIP) process. The current process at Alliance uses a Jensen CIP system,
which operates on a selector switch scheme. Alliance determined that an operator selected the wrong
position on the drain switch and incorrectly diverted low pH rinse water to the drain. On August 7, 2019,
Alliance submitted a corrective action letter, which included implementation of a new batch process where all
CIP wastewater will be discharged to a waste drum. This wastewater will be analyzed for pH and will be
discharged to the drain only if the wastewater is within an allowable pH range.
2-8
During the investigation of the probable source of the pH violation, OCSD instructed Alliance to prepare a
plumbing plan of the facility to determine all the wastewater discharge points. As a result of this study, it was
determined that Alliance's sample point is not representative of the discharge at the facility. OCSD will issue
a Compliance Requirements Letter during the next reporting period to address the sample point issue.
Aluminum Precision Products, Inc. -Susan (Permit No. 1-011100)
Aluminum Precision Products, Inc. — Susan (Aluminum Precision) manufactures parts for the aerospace,
automotive, commercial, military/defense, recreational, and transportation industries utilizing hot press
forging techniques. Support services include assembly, CNC machining,engineering, mold making, painting,
and plating. Some metal finishing and painting operations are performed offsite by outside vendors. The
company performs cleaning/chemical etching on forged parts using acidic and caustic solutions, however,
these finishing operations default to forming regulations. Wastewater is generated by multiple stage
countercurrent rinses following the etch ing/deoxidation operations,the spray rinse following the dye penetrant
testing/inspection,and the spent solutions from the vibratory deburring operations. Pretreatment at Aluminum
Precision consists of a continuous hydroxide precipitation system.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On November 5, 2019, Aluminum Precision had a zinc violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued
on November 26, 2019. On December 17, 2019, Aluminum Precision submitted a written description of the
cause of the violation and the corrective actions taken by the company. Aluminum Precision attributed the
violation to a faulty pH probe in the receiving/pH adjustment tank. The pH probe had since been replaced
and an additional probe was installed in the discharge tank as well. Aluminum Precision also purchased two
hand-held pH meters and stopped using pH strips for compliance confirmation in the receiving and discharge
tanks. Additional corrective actions included setting an alarm in the discharge tank when the pH drops below
9.0 or raises above 10.0, and training operators to ensure they understand the changes made and the steps
to follow when the pH alarms are triggered. Aluminum Precision also conducted multi-day sampling, the
results of which all showed compliance.
Aluminum Precision had no further violations during this reporting period. OCSD will continue to monitor
Aluminum Precision's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.

a Compliance Inspection during which Anchen indicated that the company has not been able to determine
the exact cause or source of the exceedance, although it can most likely be attributed to Anchen staff's failure
to follow proper equipment cleaning procedures. In April 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the
January 2019 acetone monthly limit violation. OCSD also issued a Compliance Requirement Letter and held
a Compliance Meeting with Anchen during which Anchen indicated that they have reminded their staff to
follow proper waste handling procedures. Anchen also reminded their Technical Services and QC Laboratory
group leaders that discharge of chemicals into any building's floor drains, sinks, and fume hood cup sinks is
prohibited. OCSD advised Anchen that the company may be required to install pretreatment equipment if
the facility continues to be noncompliant. In May 2019, Anchen notified OCSD via an email that the main
product line at the Goodyear facility has been transferred to Anchen's Fairbanks facility. OCSD issued
another Compliance Requirements Letter directing Anchen to increase the frequency of acetone self-
monitoring from semi-annual to quarterly, effective June 2019. OCSD revised Anchen's permit to reflect this
increased self-monitoring frequency for acetone.

Arconic Global Fasteners & Rings, Inc. (Permit No. 1-021081)
Arconic Global Fasteners & Rings, Inc. (Arconic) manufactures aluminum, titanium, and steel fasteners.
Wastewater-generating processes include cadmium, copper, silver, nickel and zinc plating, potassium
permanganate treatment, cyanide stripping, glycol lubricant coating, acid stripping, chromate conversion
coating, deburring, quenching, miscellaneous cleaning (mop water), acid/alkaline cleaning, and air scrubbing.
Arconic's continuous pretreatment system consists of pH adjustment, cyanide destruction, chromium
reduction, clarification, and sludge dewatering using a filter press. Separate, dedicated pretreatment systems
are used including electrowinning (for silver plating) and oil/water separation.
In September 2017, Arconic had a cyanide (amenable) violation. In December 2017, OCSD conducted a
compliance inspection and routine sampling during which the sampling method/location for cyanide sampling
was discussed and the cyanide treatment system was found to be adequately working. The sampling results
showed compliance. In February 2018, Arconic sent OCSD a letter contesting the cyanide violation. After a
comprehensive review, OCSD concluded that the sample result was valid, and therefore the violation was
upheld.
In February 2019, Arconic had cadmium and molybdenum violations. In June 2019, OCSD conducted a
Compliance Inspection and resampling,during which Arconic identified a lubricant product in use at the facility
as the likely source of the molybdenum violation. The resampling results showed compliance. However,
routine sampling conducted later that month showed another molybdenum violation. Arconic also exceeded
its cyanide (amenable) monthly average discharge limit in June 2019.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On August 12, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the June 2019 molybdenum noncompliance. On
August 29, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which Arconic detailed another
operation that is a possible source of molybdenum, which was the cleaning of dip baskets with dry-film
lubricant (containing molybdenum) in one of the rinses. Arconic has trained its staff to clean the baskets in
the molten salt bath specifically designed for that purpose.
On September 3, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the June 2019 cyanide (amenable) monthly
limit violation. On September 18, 2019, Arconic forwarded a corrective action report, which stated that the
company had re-evaluated the cyanide treatment equipment and replaced the ORP and pH measurement
equipment to improve performance.
Arconic performed voluntary self-monitoring for three days from September 17-19, 2019. The sampling
showed molybdenum violations on the 171" and 191", for which a Notice of Violation was issued on October
3,2019. On November 7,2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter requiring Arconic to attend
a Compliance Meeting on December 3, 2019. During the meeting, Arconic detailed efforts taken to date
intended to improve compliance including: employee training, replaced control and treatment equipment
(ORP, pH and new microfiltration media), substitution of cooling tower additive to a non-molybdenum
chemical, and the implementation of on-site laboratory molybdenum testing of the suspect solutions prior to
discharge. On December 12, 2019, Arconic submitted a letter summarizing the afore-mentioned corrective
actions. On October 21, 2019 Arconic was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019
reporting period due to chronic and acute molybdenum discharge violations that occurred on February 20,
2019 and June 19, 2019.
OCSD will also continue to monitor Arconic's discharge and compliance status in the upcoming year to
determine if additional enforcement is necessary.

delinquency in making timely payments for user charges, in January 2016, the OCSD Board of Directors
approved a 12-month payment agreement with Aseptic in the amount of$199,228.03. Aseptic made timely
payments in accordance with the agreement and completed the 12-month schedule as of January 2017.
However,Aseptic Technology failed to make payments against quarterly invoices after January 2017;thereby
necessitating a second payment agreement request in July 2017 for delinquent amounts totaling
$451,161.54. The second payment agreement also required Aseptic to remit timely payments against new
obligations occurring during the term of the agreement.
In January 2018, Aseptic requested a third payment agreement for delinquencies owed in the amount of
$252,315.72. This payment agreement request was authorized, and it required a letter of credit and a
stipulation that current invoices were to be paid in a timely manner. As a result of the payment agreement, a
typical two-year Class 1 permit was not issued to Aseptic, and the permit was renewed for only three months-
at-a-time.
Due to Aseptic's repeated failure to make timely payments pursuant to the third payment agreement, OCSD
did not renew the permit which was expiring end of March 2019. In April and May 2019, OCSD conducted
Compliance Inspections during which OCSD noted that Aseptic continued to discharge industrial wastewater
to the sewer. In April 2019, OCSD issued Aseptic an Order to Cease Discharge Without a Valid Permit.
When a payment was finally received in May 2019,the then expired permit was renewed with a new expiration
date set for the end of that month. This permit was not renewed again due to the facility's non-payment of
user charges. In June 2019, OCSD issued another Order to Cease Discharge Without a Valid Permit and
held a Compliance Meeting during which Aseptic agreed to settle the violations associated with discharging
without a valid permit.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 11, 2019, OCSD issued another Order to Cease Discharge Without a Valid Permit due to Aseptic's
failure to make full payment of past due amounts. On August 29, 2019, OCSD issued a Settlement
Agreement to Aseptic for a settlement of$185,000.00 for discharging without a valid permit between April 1
and June 17, 2019. Aseptic has been making monthly payment towards these negotiated penalties, however,
Aseptic has not paid the overdue user charges; hence, on September 9, 2019, OCSD issued another Order
to Cease/Terminate Discharge Without a Valid Permit. Aseptic continued to discharge without a valid permit
through the end of the reporting period,and therefore, OCSD will escalate enforcement during the next period.
Auto-Chlor System of Washington, Inc. (Permit No. 1-511384)
Auto-Chlor System of Washington, Inc. manufactures soaps and detergents through chemical blending
operations, and conducts packaging and distribution operations from bulk quantities to smaller containers. In
addition, the company provides commercial dishwashing and laundering services. Auto-Chlor operates a
batch pretreatment system.
In June 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and observed a hard-plumbed city water connection
into Auto-Chlor's batch treatment tank. Auto-Chlor stated that city water was being added to the batch tank
during treatment of wastewater generated onsite to make the water level high enough for treatment.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On September 24, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter requiring Auto-Chlor to take
corrective actions to change the treatment operations and procedures, and prevent any dilution sources from
affecting the quality of industrial wastewater discharged into the sewer. Auto-Chlor was required to submit a
corrective action report by October 15, 2019.
2-12
OCSD will follow up on Auto-Chlor's corrective action in the next reporting period.
B. Braun Medical, Inc. (West/Lake) (Permit No. 1-541183)
B. Braun Medical, Inc. (West/Lake) (B. Braun West) manufactures pharmaceutical intravenous fluid and the
packaging for the fluid. The manufacturing process includes mixing, filling, sterilization, and packaging of
aqueous injectable and parenteral pharmaceutical products. The packages are sprayed and bath-sterilized
before they are placed on pallets and collected for shipment. Waste from the sterilization process consists
of condensate that accumulates on the packages during the cooling process, and the water drained weekly
from the heat exchangers.
In October 2018, B. Braun West had a pH violation, and was issued a Notice of Violation. In December 2018,
OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which B. Braun West indicated that multiple sources could
have contributed to the pH violation, including the shredding facility and the internal IV bag process. B. Braun
West submitted a letter describing corrective actions, which included installation of a new pH adjustment
system.
OCSD directed B. Braun West to complete installation of the pH adjustment system by end of January 2019,
which B. Braun West failed to comply with. In April 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirement Letter
directing B. Braun to submit an interim compliance proposal by the end of the month and to install a temporary
pH adjustment system by the end of May 2019, both of which B. Braun completed.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
OCSD directed B. Braun to submit the proposal for the permanent pretreatment system by the end of June
2019, and to complete installation by end of November 2019, both of which B. Braun completed. During
previous compliance inspections at B. Braun, OCSD observed discharge of stormwater into the sewer
system, which is prohibited by OCSD's Ordinance. On July 24, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance
Requirement Letter directing B. Braun West to propose a stormwater mitigation plan to prevent further
discharge of stormwater to the sewer system. B. Braun was required to submit the proposal by August 31,
2019 and install the proposed solution by October 15, 2019. B. Braun proposed to install a diverter valve
that will be actuated prior to a rain event and will divert stormwater to an above ground holding tank. The
contents of the tank will either be waste-hauled or discharged to the sewer system after receiving
authorization from OCSD. B. Braun completed these requirements by the specified due dates. On
December 3, 2019, OCSD conducted a follow-up Compliance Inspection and confirmed that the stormwater
mitigation system and the new permanent pretreatment system were operational and appeared to be properly
maintained.
OCSD will continue to monitor B. Braun West's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Beo-Mag Plating (Permit No. 1-511370)
Beo-Mag Plating (Beo-Mag) performs surface finishing on customer supplied parts made from aluminum,
mild steel, and die-cast zinc. Beo-mag is a metal finishing job shop specializing in decorative chrome and
gold plating. The restoration of motorcycle and classic automobile parts accounts for approximately 80% of
their business, and the remaining percentage consists of small volume commercial work such as bathroom
fixtures and other assorted parts. The processing of a steel or die-cast zinc part includes polishing,
electrocleaning, cyanide copper strike, acid copper plating, manual buffing, alkaline cleaning to remove the
buffing residue, nickel plating, and finally chrome plating. The chrome plating of a typical aluminum part
proceeds by polishing, alkaline cleaning, Aluma acid etch, deoxidation, zincate, copper plating, buffing,
alkaline cleaning to remove the buffing residue, nickel plating, and finally chrome plating. All wet operations
are conducted manually using typical rack and wire plating techniques. The effluent discharge at Beo-Mag
is generated by aqueous fume scrubbing, various spent process solutions, and the associated rinse
wastestreams.
2-13
In January 2019, Beo-Mag had cyanide (total) daily and monthly average discharge limit violations and was
issued Notices of Violation accordingly. In March 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and noted
that corrective actions had been implemented by the facility to address the cyanide issue.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
Beo-Mag submitted its permit renewal application on November 6, 2019, which was six days past the
extended due date of October 31, 2 019. Hence, on November 18, 2019, OCSD issued a letter informing
Beo-Mag that a $500 fee will be assessed for late submittal of the permit application, in accordance with
OCSD's Ordinance No. 51.
Beo-Mag had no further discharge violations during this reporting period. OCSD will continue to monitor Beo-
Mag's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Bodycote Thermal Processing (permit No. 1-031120)
Bodycote Thermal Processing (Bodycote) performs oven and furnace operation, metal brazing, quenching,
freezing, and metal heat treating. The parts are either placed in the ovens to be aged, or treated with sodium
nitrate, glycol and hot/cold water. After these first main steps, parts are either placed in the freezer (for
customer pickup), or straightened/molded in the shop area. Wastewater is generated from the treatment
rinse tank line, or the quench tank overflow. Bodycote has large quench tanks or sumps where the parts are
submerged to be quenched. Any overflow from these quench tanks is routed to the water/glycol separation
tanks where glycol is separated from water to be recycled back into the tanks. After the separation process,
wastewater is routed through a settling box to remove solids before being discharged to the sewer.
June 1 — December 31, 2019
On October 30, 2019, Bodycote had a molybdenum violation for which a Notice of Violation was issued on
November 22, 2019. A Compliance Inspection was conducted on December 10, 2019. During the
inspection, Bodycote indicated that no source for the violation was identified. Bodycote was directed to
conduct informational sampling from their rinses and quench tanks to investigate the cause of violation. The
results showed only low concentrations of molybdenum in the tanks. The cause of violation seems to be
excessive solid settlement in the settling box which lead to carry over into the sample box. Bodycote had
performed voluntary sampling in December 2019,and OCSD performed a resampling on December 19, 2019
with compliant results. In the next reporting period, OCSD will amend Bodycote's permit to add molybdenum
self-monitoring requirements, and a requirement to clean out both settling and sample boxes on a weekly
basis.
OCSD will continue to monitor Bodycote's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Brea Power II, LLC (Permit No. 1-521837)
Brea Power II, LLC (Brea Power) produces electricity from landfill gas extracted from the adjacent landfill,
firing the gas in boilers to produce steam for use in turbines and the production of electricity. Wastewater is
generated from a combination of cooling tower blow down, boiler blow down, and landfill gas condensate
(LFG). Pretreatment on site includes a caustic dosage to the LFG to raise the pH within the range of 6.0-
12.0. Hydrogen Peroxide is also injected downstream at the oily water separator on-site to minimize sulfide
generation. A chemical mix is also injected downstream of the sample point to control hydrogen sulfide
generation in OCSD's sewer system.
2-14
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 31, 2019, Brea Power had a pH violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on August 12,
2019. On August 27, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which Brea Power indicated
that the source of the pH violation was due to a pH electrode failure. On August 28, 2019, Brea Power
submitted a corrective action report stating that the pH electrode had been replaced. The resampling result
showed compliance.
OCSD will continue to monitor Brea Power's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Bristol Industries (Permit No. 1-021226)
Bristol Industries (Bristol) manufactures military specification fasteners, including nuts, bolts, washers, and
rivets, as well as airplane window channels. Wastewater is generated from the metal finishing and aluminum
forming operations, which include acid/alkaline cleaning, plating (silver, copper, nickel, chromium, and
cadmium), anodizing, deburring, and associated rinses. Bristol operates a batch and a continuous
pretreatment system. The continuous pretreatment system consists of an equalization tank, chrome
reduction, cyanide destruction, hydroxide precipitation, pH adjustment, an effluent pH controller and recorder,
final polishing filter, filter press, Lamella clarifier, and an electrowinning system. The batch treatment system
is used to treat spent process solutions.
In 2017, Bristol completed construction of a new building to house new process and rinse tanks that would
eventually replace all their aging tanks. Bristol also completed installation of a new state-of-the-art
pretreatment system which was intended to replace their existing one. The new system consists of a
continuous ion exchange (IX) system for heavy metals removal, and batch treatment for IX regeneration
waste, chrome reduction, and cyanide destruction. The new IX system allows Bristol to recycle most of their
rinses and thus save water.
In June and July 2017, Bristol had cyanide (amenable) violations. In August 2017, Bristol had a cadmium
violation. Bristol submitted a root cause analysis and corrective action report for the cyanide violations. The
report attributed the violations to inadequate retention time due to high production and high flow rate during
those two days, aggravated by low oxidation reduction potential (ORP) in stage 1 and high ORP in stage 2,
thus causing incomplete destruction of cyanide. Bristol's corrective actions consisted of adjusting the ORP
and pH in both stage 1 and stage 2 during heavy production days to ensure complete treatment of cyanide.
Bristol conducted multi-day sampling to confirm the efficiency of their modifications / corrective actions and
the test results all showed compliance.
In September 2017, OCSD conducted a compliance inspection and resampling, during which Bristol indicated
that the pretreatment system operators had been trained on the proper pH and ORP settings for treatment of
the cyanide-bearing wastestreams. However, the resampling results detected a nickel violation. Bristol
submitted another root cause analysis and corrective action report to address the August 2017 cadmium
violation. During the investigation, Bristol staff discovered that the blade in the batch treatment tank was not
connected to the mixer shaft, and therefore no mixing was occurring in the batch tank. The mixer blade
detached due to loosened fasteners. Bristol immediately fixed the problem and conducted resampling for
cadmium. The resampling results showed compliance.
In October 2017, OCSD conducted resampling for nickel and the results showed compliance. Bristol
submitted a third root cause analysis and corrective action report to address the nickel violation. The report
cited inadequate pH and ORP setpoints as the cause of the violation. Corrective actions consisted of
increasing the pH, reducing the ORP, and conducting in-house testing of each treated batch for compliance
before discharging the effluent to the sewer.
In April 2018, Bristol had another cyanide (amenable) violation. In June 2018, OCSD conducted another
compliance inspection, during which Bristol submitted another root cause analysis and corrective action
report to address the violation. The report identified the source of the cyanide amenable violation to several
2-15
operational issues and issues with ORP probes. Corrective actions consisted of weekly calibration of the
ORP probes, maintenance of calibration record logs, updating of treatment unit operating instructions to
include calibration frequency, additional operator training, and additional team leader verification for probe
check and record-keeping.
In September 2018, Bristol had another cyanide violation. In October 2018, OCSD issued an Order to Cease
Noncompliant Discharges and held a Compliance Meeting with Bristol, during which the company attributed
the source of the cyanide violation to an overflow situation at the cyanide treatment unit. In November 2018,
OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter directing Bristol to submit a pretreatment system evaluation
and proposal for improvements. Bristol's proposed improvements included installation of an equalization tank
in the cyanide treatment unit to provide adequate treatment capacity.
In December 2018, Bristol had another cadmium daily discharge limit violation and a monthly cadmium mass
limit violation, as well as another cyanide violation. Bristol submitted a root cause analysis and corrective
action report to address the violations. The report identified the resin beds in the metal scavenger resin
system for the cyanide treatment as the source of the cadmium violation. Bristol indicated that the resin beds
were found to be fouling with a precipitant,which caused channeling in the resin beds allowing treated cyanide
wastewater to travel through the beds with little to no contact with the resins for metal removal. Corrective
actions consist of resin bed rotation and changes based on the analysis of effluent from cyanide and the
metal scavenger system sample point.
In January 2019, Bristol had cadmium, cyanide (amenable and total), and silver daily and monthly average
discharge limit violations. In February 2019, Bristol had further cadmium, silver, and pH violations. In March
2019, Bristol had further cadmium daily and monthly average discharge limit violations.
OCSD issued several Notices of Violation for the aforementioned violations between February and April 2019.
In March 2019, OCSD also issued a Second Order to Cease Noncompliant Discharges in response to the
recurring violations and repeated pretreatment system failure on site. In April 2019, OCSD held a second
Compliance Meeting during which OCSD informed Bristol of the agency's determination that the recent
compliance issues were caused by inadequate hydraulic capacity of Bristol's existing pretreatment system,
lack of process control of the pretreatment equipment, disconnect between the upstream production
processes and the pretreatment system processes, and the lack of a complete facility wastewater process
review to correct the earlier violations. OCSD also informed Bristol of its intention to issue an Administrative
Complaint and provided Bristol the option to enter into a Settlement Agreement and an Enforcement and
Compliance Schedule Agreement with OCSD, in lieu of an Administrative Complaint, to settle the violations
that occurred from June 2017 through March 2019.
In June 2019, Bristol had further cyanide (total), cadmium, silver, and pH violations. That month, OCSD
issued a Notice of Violation for the March 2019 cadmium and silver monthly mass limit violations.
In general, OCSD has conducted multiple inspections at the facility during previous reporting periods and
found that Bristol continues to experience pretreatment system failure and operational control issues onsite.
Additionally, OCSD found that Bristol continued to make several process modifications onsite without prior
notification to OCSD.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 1, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the April 2019 silver monthly mass limit violation. On
July 11, 2019, Bristol had further cadmium, nickel and silver violations. On July 17, 2019, OCSD issued a
Third Order to Cease Noncompliant Discharges in response to the continued pretreatment system failure,
operational issues, and recurring violations. On August 12, 2019, OCSD issued Notices of Violation for the
June 2019 cyanide, cadmium, pH, and silver violations, as well as for the July 2019 cadmium, nickel and
silver violations.
On August 13, 2019, OCSD held a third Compliance Meeting during which OCSD instructed Bristol to
conduct a complete process study to evaluate the adequacy of the existing pretreatment system and then
2-16
develop a plan to ensure compliance with the permit limits. OCSD informed Bristol that the company has
repeatedly approached corrective actions in a piece-meal fashion which has caused additional permit
violations and equipment issues. OCSD reiterated that a comprehensive evaluation of the facility is required
to prevent continued non-compliance.
The Settlement Agreement was issued on May 29, 2019 and became effective on August 8, 2019. On
September 12, 2019, OCSD issued the Enforcement and Compliance Schedule Agreement (ECSA) to
Bristol. As required in the Settlement Agreement, Bristol continued to complete the ECSA requirements in a
timely manner. Where more time was needed to complete further analysis, OCSD provided extensions to
the schedule. However,during this ECSA period, Bristol continued to experience violations of mass emission
rate limits. On September 6, 2019, Bristol had a silver mass violation. On October 29, 2019, Bristol had
cyanide (amenable and total) mass limit violations. The Notices of Violation for these two mass violations
will be issued in the next reporting period. On November 14, 2019, and November 20, 2019, Bristol had
cadmium mass violations.
On November 27, 2019, Bristol had a cadmium violation.
On November 30, 2019, Bristol submitted their pretreatment system modification proposal. OCSD had
concerns with the proposal pertaining to the volume of wastewater discharged to the cyanide system,
segregation of the cyanide-related backwashes, and failure mode analysis of the new system.
On December 4, 2019, Bristol had another cadmium violation. On December 12, 2019, Bristol had further
cadmium violation plus a cyanide (amenable)violation. On December 27, 2019, Bristol had a cyanide (total)
violation.
On December 30,2019,OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the November 2019 cadmium mass violations.
The Notices of Violation for the other exceedances will be issued in the next reporting period.
On October 21, 2019 Bristol was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019 reporting period
due to acute Cadmium discharge violations on December 6, 2018, January 8, 2019, February 5, 2019, and
March 26, 2019, as well as an acute CN discharge violation on August 3, 2018.
OCSD will hold another Compliance Meeting with Bristol in the next reporting period to discuss OCSD's
concerns with the company's pretreatment system modification proposal and their recent and ongoing
violations.
Brothers International Desserts (North) (Permit No. 1-600583)
Brothers International Desserts (Brothers North) is an ice-cream and frozen novelty manufacturer. Most of
the wastewater is generated by the cleaning and sanitizing of equipment used for the manufacturing
processes.
July 1 - December 31, 2019
On September 9, 2019, Brothers North had a pH violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on
October 14, 2019. Prior to this violation, Brothers North had already informed OCSD of their intention to
install a new pH adjustment system on-site due to another pH violation for their other clarifier (issued under
separate Permit No. 1-600582 for Brothers North).
OCSD will conduct a follow-up Compliance Inspection during the next reporting period to determine Brothers
North's progress and compliance status.
2-17
Brothers International Desserts (West) (Permit No. 1-600582)
Brothers International Desserts (Brothers West) is an ice-cream and frozen novelty manufacturer. Most of
the wastewater is generated by the cleaning and sanitizing of equipment used for the manufacturing
processes.
In June 2019, Brothers had pH violations.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 10, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the previous month's pH violations. On August 5,
2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which Brothers West indicated that the clarifier was
not pumped out according to the company's agreed schedule, and the long retention and ensuing
fermentation of accumulated solids in the clarifier caused the pH violations. OCSD reminded Brothers West
that the company may be required to install pre-treatment equipment if their facility discharges continue to be
non-compliant. On August 13, 2019, Brothers West submitted their corrective action to address the pH
violation. Corrective actions included maintaining the clarifier frequently and the installation of a pH
adjustment system on-site.
OCSD will conduct a follow-up Compliance Inspection during the next reporting period to determine Brothers
West's progress and compliance status.
Cadillac Platinq, Inc. (Permit No. 1-021062)
Cadillac Plating, Inc. (Cadillac)is a job shop metal finishing facility. Wastewater-generating processes include
alkaline and acid chloride zinc plating, bright tin plating, bright nickel plating, sulfuric anodizing, alkaline
cleaning, acid activation, chromate conversion coating, chemfilm, and associated rinses. The facility engages
in rack plating only. The facility operates a continuous hydroxide pretreatment system that consists of pH
adjustment, chrome reduction, flocculent addition, clarification, and sludge dewatering with a filter press.
Spent solutions are treated in a batch pretreatment system, with the effluent routed through the continuous
pretreatment system for further treatment.
In January 2017, OCSD conducted a compliance inspection during which numerous pretreatment system
deficiencies and violations were found. OCSD issued an Order to Cease Noncompliant Discharges to
Cadillac followed by a compliance meeting and issuance of a Probation Order in February 2017. In March
2017, OCSD conducted a joint probation search with representatives from the Orange County District
Attorney's office, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), and Orange County Health Care
Agency(OCHCA). As a result of numerous safety violations, OSHA issued an Order Prohibiting Use (OPU).
Through 2017 and 208, OCSD conducted inspections to confirm the completion of the requirements from the
Probation Order. The continuous pretreatment system was found to be operating in a safe and controlled
manner with no indication of overflow, short-circuiting, or slug loading. The batch treatment system was
operational as well and appeared to be properly maintained. Log sheets for the batch treatment system were
being kept on site and were up to date.
In October 2018, Cadillac had a zinc violation. In December 2018,OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection
during which multiple deficiencies were noted including missing or illegible process tank labels, a lack of
pretreatment system vessel structural integrity that could lead to treatment bypass, and unidentified
noncompliant wastewater. OCSD also noted that that one of the pretreatment operators failed to obtain
qualified treatment operator certification as required by the Probation Order. Additionally, Cadillac had failed
to provide a wastewater characterization for the processing lines prior to using them.
In April 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter to address the deficiencies noted during the
last reporting period. Shortly thereafter, OCSD conducted a follow-up Compliance Inspection and observed
further noncompliance issues including pH probes out of calibration; lack of an automated pH adjustment
system and final pH chart recorder; prohibited use of flexible hosing; and process line modifications
2-18
implemented without written notification to OCSD. In mid-April 2019, OCSD issued an Order to Cease
Noncompliant Discharges directing Cadillac to attend a Compliance Meeting later that month. In May 2019,
OCSD issued a second Compliance Requirements Letter requiring Cadillac to correct the noncompliance
issues and deficiencies by the end of the month, as discussed during the compliance meeting. In early June
2019, OCSD conducted another Compliance Inspection and found remaining deficiencies. During a follow-
up inspection later that month, OCSD confirmed that Cadillac had finally completed all requirements.
However, OCSD routine sampling in June 2019 detected a nickel violation.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On August 12, 2019, a Notice of Violation was issued for the nickel exceedance that occurred the previous
month. On August 29, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which multiple deficiencies
were noted including an uncalibrated pH meter, unqualified operators operating the pretreatment system,
process changes without written notification to OCSD, and a loss of process control due to pretreatment
system capacity issues. As a result of these pretreatment deficiencies, on September 24, 2019, OCSD
issued a letter directing Cadillac to attend a Compliance Meeting on October 15, 2019. On October 18,
2019, as a follow-up to the compliance meeting, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter requiring
Cadillac to maintain a certified wastewater treatment operator at all times during wastewater discharge,
conduct testing on all treated batches of wastewater and maintain a log of those batches, maintain the pH
chart recorder, and record maintenance activities related to the excessive build-up of flocculant in
pretreatment system lines. On November 21,2019, OCSD conducted another Compliance Inspection during
which OCSD confirmed completion of the compliance requirements.
OCSD will continue to monitor Cadillac's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Cargill, Inc. (Permit No.1-031060)
Cargill, Inc. (Cargill) is a bulk loading station with facilities for storage and packaging of vegetable and
animal oils. Wastewater is generated by steam cleaning of packaging equipment and washdown of
loading, processing and packaging areas (with some boiler blowdown). Pretreatment at the facility consists
of a skim basin followed by clarification for the removal of oil and fat.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On September 24, 2019, OCSD issued an Order to Cease Noncompliant Discharges to Cargill for
discharging wastewater which caused blockages downstream of the facility in the City of Fullerton. The Order
required Cargill to attend a Compliance Meeting to resolve the matter on October 24, 2019. During the
meeting the excessive discharge of oil and grease(total)(O&G-T)was discussed along with sewer discharge
of surface runoff,which is also prohibited. On October 31, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements
Letter requiring Cargill to conduct monthly self-monitoring for total oil & grease, re-evaluate the pretreatment
system at the facility, propose improvements to ensure adequate oil & grease removal, and develop a
stormwater mitigation plan to divert stormwater from sewer discharge.
OCSD will follow up on Cargill's compliance progress and deliverables during the next reporting period.
Catalina Cylinders (Permit No. 1-031021)
Catalina Cylinders, a Div. of APP (Catalina Cylinders) manufactures high pressure gas cylinders from 6061
aluminum alloy material. The cylinders are produced in various sizes for the beverage, medical, and
SCUBA diving industries. Wastewater is generated from the alkaline cleaning, hydrostatic pressure testing,
and the iron phosphate conversion coating operations. Pretreatment at Catalina Cylinders is limited to a
three-stage underground clarifier.
2-19
In January 2019 Catalina Cylinders had an oil &grease of mineral or petroleum origin mass violation, for
which a Notice of Violation was issued in March 2019. In March 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance
Inspection during which OCSD explained to Catalina Cylinders that based on the manufacturing operations
conducted onsite, the company's wastewater discharge is subject to the Aluminum Forming federal
categorical pretreatment standards and, as a result, the oil &grease mass limits are production-based.
OCSD explained further that to comply with the stringent production-based mass limits, the oil & grease
concentration must be kept below approximately 15 mg/L during an average day's flow, which would likely
require pretreatment beyond the clarifier they presently operate.
In April 2019, Catalina Cylinders had another oil &grease mass violation. In May 2019, OCSD issued a
Notice of Violation and conducted another Compliance Inspection to reiterate concerns about Catalina
Cylinders' noncompliance with the oil & grease mass emission limits.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On October 10, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Summary Letter requiring Catalina Cylinders to conduct
multi-day self-monitoring in October 2019. The multi-day self-monitoring was performed on October 22-24,
2019 and the results showed in compliance with their oil &grease mass emission limits.
On October 21, 2019 Catalina Cylinders was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019
reporting period due to acute oil &grease of mineral or petroleum origin discharge violations on January 4,
2019 and April 1, 2019.
OCSD will continue to monitor Catalina Cylinders discharge and compliance status in the upcoming year to
determine if additional enforcement is necessary.
City of Huntington Beach Fire Department(Permit No. 1-111015)
City of Huntington Beach Fire Department(HB Fire)operates three oil extraction wells. The extracted crude
oil and groundwater mixture is routed to an oil/water separation tank. Crude oil is shipped offsite while the
separated wastewater is routed through an aboveground clarifier prior to discharge to the sewer.
In April 2019, HB Fire had an oil &grease of mineral or petroleum origin violation and was issued a Notice of
Violation. In May 2019, HB Fire reported that the violation was due to a build-up of oil and grease in the
sample port and failure of the operator to flush the port prior to sampling. In June 2019, HB Fire informed
OCSD through an email that they had installed a third stage for the clarifier and a separate sample box as a
corrective measure.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 1, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection to confirm completion of corrective actions as a
result of the violation that occurred in the prior quarter. HB Fire had no further violations during this reporting
period.
OCSD will continue to monitor HB Fire's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
City of Newport Beach, General Services
The City of Newport Beach operates a general services yard, which houses several areas for various
municipal operations and vehicle maintenance. This yard also serves as a location where vacuum-truck
vehicles can unload decant wastewater generated during the cleaning of both city sewer and stormwater
piping.
2-20
During an inspection in February 2017, OCSD discovered that several areas within the yard which receive
stormwater flow had a direct connection to OCSD's Sewer Trunkline. Therefore, OCSD issued a
Compliance Requirements Letter directing the City of Newport Beach to divert stormwater away from
OCSD's sewerage facilities. Following a series of correspondence and inspections, the City of Newport
Beach plugged and rerouted several areas to prevent stormwater from entering the sewer
system. Additionally, the City of Newport Beach installed a rainwater diversion valve to divert stormwater
from the upper areas, and a Fresno Sluice Gate in the sewer/stormwater decanting area so it will remain
closed during the winter months.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On November 27, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during a storm event and observed
that the rainwater diversion switch that redirects stormwater from the upper yard was not set properly; it did
not remain in the"ON" mode after the rain subsided which allowed for additional sheet flow to discharge to
the sewer. In addition, OCSD observed City yard workers opening the sluice gate in the decanting area,
allowing the collected stormwater and vacuum truck water to be released to the sewer during the storm
event.
OCSD will issue a Compliance Requirements Letter during the next quarter to address the observed
stormwater issues.
Coast to Coast Circuits, Inc. (Permit No. 1-111129)
Coast to Coast Circuits, Inc. (Coast) is a medium size facility that specializes in quick-turn and semi-
production orders for aerospace,commercial, medical, military/defense, and telecommunication applications.
The circuit manufacturing processes include cutting the copper clad or unclad materials, photoresist
application, inner-layer circuit imaging, resist developing, ammonium etching, and alkaline resist stripping.
For multilayer boards, this is followed by brown oxide or plasma surface preparation, lamination, drilling, and
plasma or high-pressure de-smear.
The pretreatment system consists of a general heavy metals ion exchange system, a tin lead ion exchange
system, an evaporator with pH adjustment, and a clarifier with pH adjustment. Dilute tin lead rinse waters
are treated and recycled in the tin lead ion exchange system. All other dilute metal bearing rinse waters are
treated and recycled in the general heavy metals ion exchange system. Concentrated acidic and alkaline
waste waters are pH adjusted and sent to the evaporator. Condensate from the evaporator is recycled back
to the general heavy metals ion exchange system and concentrated liquor from the evaporator is waste
hauled. Nonmetal-bearing wastewaters are routed to the three stage above ground clarifier for pH adjustment
and discharge to the sewer.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On October 2, 2019, Coast had a pH violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on October 21,
2019. In a previous inspection, OCSD noted additional compliance issues including incomplete facility
drawings, missing or illegible labels, failure to separate cyanide bearing waste streams from non-cyanide
bearing waste streams, ineffective pH adjustment system, and the use of non-regulated waste streams as
dilution flows. On October 28, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter requiring Coast to
address the compliance deficiencies by November 30, 2019. On November 12, 2019, OCSD conducted a
Compliance Inspection to verify the status of compliance requirements. Unaware of the letter, Coast
requested and was granted an extension to complete the compliance requirements during the next quarter.
OCSD will continue to monitor Coast's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
2-21
Corru-Kraft Buena Park (Permit No. 1-600806)
Corru-Kraft Buena Park (Corru-Kraft) manufactures corrugated sheets by combining paper using starch-
based adhesive, steam, and hydraulic pressure. The starch adhesive is prepared onsite and pumped to the
processing equipment. Wastewater is generated from the washing of the starch mixing tank and several
corrugating equipment lines following production. Wastewater passes through a four-stage underground
clarifier prior to discharge to the sewer system.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On September 12, 2019, Corru-Kraft had a pH violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on
October 28, 2019. On November 14, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and resampling,
during which OCSD identified that pH treatment may be required to ensure consistent compliance. It was
determined that the wastewater enters the clarifier with a pH of approximately 11.5 at a high temperature,
which creates a reaction resulting in solids formation in the first two stages of the clarifier, and a significant
drop in pH by the final stage of the clarifier. As a corrective action measure, Corru-Kraft plans to determine
if more frequent clarifier cleaning will maintain pH compliance or if a pretreatment system will be required.
OCSD will continue its enforcement response during the next reporting period.
CP-Carrillo, Inc. (Armstrong) (Permit No. 1-600920)
CP-Carrillo, Inc. (Armstrong) (CP Armstrong) manufactures aluminum pistons for the automotive industry,
conducting mainly aluminum anodizing and graphite skirt coating. CP Armstrong anodizes the ring groove
on aluminum pistons into aluminum oxide using an electrolysis process with sulfuric acid. Additionally, there
is a post anodizing washing machine which washes out the residual acid left in the ring groove of the piston.
There are two additional washing machines that activate the aluminum material through mechanical
impingement and heat into a porous finish with an alkaline wash and soap. Currently, the wastewater
generated on site is collected in a 500-gallon batch tank.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On October 25, 2019, CP Armstrong had a pH violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on
December 10, 2019. OCSD will conduct a Compliance Inspection during the next reporting period.
Darling International, Inc (Permit No. 1-511378)
Darling International, Inc. (Darling)collects and treats waste from interceptors, clarifiers, and grease traps of
food service establishments within the Southern California Region. Hauled waste is transported to the facility
yard, unloaded to a large underground sump, then pumped to aboveground batch treatment tanks where it
is treated with lime and polymer to enhance separation of solids and liquids. The sludge is dewatered and
allowed to air dry in large rectangular vessels. The treated wastewater is collected and discharged to the
sewer. The wastewater discharge permit authorizes Darling to discharge wastewater from the treatment of
grease trap waste from restaurants, cafeterias, or other similar facilities, but not yellow grease or cooking oil.
In addition, processing of grease from industrial kitchens, car washing facilities, metal recycling yards, or
other sources of industrial or hazardous wastes is prohibited. Any generator sources outside of OCSD's
service area must have a profile submitted in advance to OCSD for review and acceptance.
In August 2018, Darling had a pH violation. In November 2018, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection
during which Darling stated that pH monitoring is achieved through the use of pH strips at various points in
the process including the wastewater collection sump. However, no pH logs were kept. OCSD attributed the
pH violation to the inconsistent and unreliable manual pH adjustment process and inadequate monitoring
utilizing pH strips. In addition, some pH fluctuation is attributable to the organic nature of the waste. OCSD
required installation of a pH meter and a pH recorder, as well as operator training.
2-22
In June 2019, Darling had another pH violation.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 9, 2019, a Notice of Violation was issued for the previous month's pH noncompliance. On July 18,
2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection to follow up on the ongoing pH violations. As a result of
the recurring noncompliance with pH limits due to the lack of an effective pH adjustment and control system
at Darling's facility, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter on August 12, 2019, requiring the
submittal of a waste management proposal by September 15, 2019, and after acceptance by OCSD, for
Darling to complete installation of the proposed pretreatment system by October 31, 2019. On September
13, 2019, Darling submitted a proposal to install a pH adjustment system in an existing tank upstream of the
clarifying tanks. On October 2, 2019, OCSD accepted the proposal with revisions, which included the
installation of a pH adjustment system, pH monitoring system, and a rain diversion sensor to prevent the
discharge of storm water into the sewer. Darling completed installation of the pH adjustment system on
October 30, 2019.
OCSD will continue to monitor Darling's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Data Aire, Inc. #2 (Permit No. 1-021379)
Data Aire, Inc.#2 (Data Aire)receives cold rolled steel and manufactures frames to house cooling equipment.
Steel is sheared, bent, punched, welded, and assembled into frames. An iron phosphate conversion coating
is applied to the frame prior to powdercoating and baking. Some parts may alternately undergo painting in a
spray booth. The components for the cooling systems, which include electrical equipment and heat
exchanging coils, are purchased from other companies and not manufactured on site. Approximately 300-
400 parts are cleaned per day. The heat exchange coils are made of copper tubing and aluminum fins and
undergo hydrostatic leak testing as part of the production process. Wastewater is generated from the rinsing
of frames during the application of iron phosphate conversion coating. The wastewater is pH adjusted based
on the iron phosphate conversion floating flow rate and then discharged through a clarifier to the sewer.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 25 and 26, 2019, Data-Aire had pH violations for which a Notice of Violation was issued on August
8, 2019. On September 9, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection to investigate the violations. In
previous inspections, OCSD noted that the treatment system lacked pH monitoring and only relied on a
controller that doses caustic to the wastewater based on the flow of iron phosphate (ratio control). OCSD
reminded Data Aire of its responsibility to maintain compliance at all times of wastewater discharge, indicating
that pH must be monitored continuously. On September 29, 2019, Data Aire submitted a proposal to install
a pH monitoring system with high and low alarms and digital data logging. OCSD accepted the proposal with
an expected work completion date of October 31,2019. On November 18,2019, OCSD conducted a follow-
up inspection and verified installation of the pH monitoring system.
OCSD will continue to monitor Data-Aire's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
DCOR, LLC (Permit No. 1-111013)
DCOR, LLC (DCOR) is a facility that receives and separates crude oil and water from offshore drilling
platforms. Crude oil is stored and shipped to other facilities while the separated water is discharged to the
sewer.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On November 6, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection to determine if stormwater was being
discharged to the sewer from the DCOR facility. During the inspection, the site contact stated that any ground
2-23
water(including stormwater) is collected, treated, and discharged to the sewer. OCSD informed DCOR that
stormwater is prohibited from being discharged to the sewer in accordance with OCSD's Ordinance. On
December 30,2019,OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter requiring DCOR to develop a proposal
to cease the discharge of any stormwater, surface runoff, or subsurface drainage to the sewer, submit the
proposal to OCSD and after acceptance, complete implementation of the accepted proposal by next quarter.
OCSD will evaluate DCOR's proposal and compliance status during the next reporting period.
Dr. Smoothie Enterprises -DBA Bevolution Group (Permit No. 1-600131)
Dr. Smoothie Enterprises— DBA Bevolution Group (Dr. Smoothie) processes, packages and distributes fruit
beverage concentrates. The operations performed include mixing of concentrates manufactured offsite,
packaging, and distribution.
In November 2018, Dr. Smoothie had a minor pH violation. In December 2018, OCSD conducted a
Compliance Inspection and resampling during which OCSD indicated that pH treatment may be necessary
to ensure consistent compliance, particularly since the pH levels of some of the fruit concentrate products
they process are below the local limit of 6.0. The resampling result showed another pH violation.
In March 2019, OCSD held a Compliance Meeting with Dr. Smoothie during which the company reported that
they have implemented manual pH adjustment on all wastestreams that are found to be acidic, with future
plans to install a large(500 gallon)collection tank where the acidic wastestreams can be collected and treated
with an automated pH adjust system.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On August 21, 2019, Dr. Smoothie had another pH violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on
September 12, 2019. On October 7, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter to Dr.
Smoothie requiring them to attend a Compliance Meeting on October 30, 2019. During the meeting, Dr.
Smoothie indicated that they are continuing manual pH adjustment. With the ongoing pH violations, Dr.
Smoothie proposed installation of an automated pretreatment system similar to equipment utilized at another
company facility.
OCSD will continue to monitor Dr. Smoothie's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis and
conduct a Compliance Inspection in the upcoming quarter to verify progress of the pH adjustment system
installation.
Electrolurgy, Inc. (Permit No. 1-071162)
Electrolurgy, Inc. (Electrolurgy) is a large job shop specializing in metal finishing services for aerospace,
electronics, industrial, medical, and military/defense applications. The wet processing of a typical aluminum
part begins with alkaline cleaning/etching followed by deoxidation and anodizing, or by activation (zincate,
copper strike, or nickel strike)and the specified surface finish (electroless nickel, cadmium, or tin plate). The
processing of a typical steel part proceeds by alkaline cleaning, hydrochloric activation/descale followed by
the specified surface finish (bright nickel,cadmium,copper,electroless nickel). Stainless steel parts generally
receive alkaline cleaning followed by passivation or electropolishing. The processing of a typical copper part
begins with alkaline and ultrasonic cleaning followed by sulfuric activation, copper strike, and nickel plate. All
wet operations are conducted manually using basket, barrel, rack, or wire process techniques. Wastewater
is generated from the various spent process solutions and associated rinses.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On August 28,2019, Electrolurgy had a silver violation. This daily limit exceedance also resulted in a monthly
average discharge limit violation for silver for the month of August 2019. On October 9, 2019, OCSD
2-24
conducted a Compliance Inspection during which OCSD informed Electrolurgy of the silver violation that was
being processed by OCSD for issuance. On October 14, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the
August 2019 silver daily limit violation. October 17, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter
requiring Electrolurgy to implement corrective solutions to address the observed non-compliance issues at
the facility by November 30,2019. On November 7, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the August
2019 silver monthly limit violation. On November 14, 2019, OCSD received Electrolurgy' s response to the
silver violation, which failed to identify the source of the non-compliance. On December 2, 2019, OCSD
received Electrolurgy' s response to OCSD's October 2019 Compliance Requirements Letter, which also
failed to satisfy OCSD's requirements.
OCSD will pursue escalated enforcement action during the next reporting period.
Gemini Industries, Inc. (Permit No. 1-071172)
Gemini Industries, Inc. (Gemini) provides precious metals recovery and refining services for the
petrochemical and petroleum refining industries. The facility is a large wet processing operation that
specializes in the recovery of platinum, palladium, rhenium, germanium, and gold from spent chemical
catalysts. Gemini's wet processes yield purified precious metals, refinable metal residue, and aluminum
sulfate solution, sold as alum for municipal water and wastewater treatment.
The recovery of precious metals at Gemini begins with spent catalyst from various customers which arrive in
55-gallon steel drums or flow bins. The catalyst is fed to a sampling system to determine specific constituent
concentrations as well as the potential precious metals yield. Processing the spent catalyst begins with
sulfuric acid digestion, generating a hot slurry which is pumped to mixing and settling tanks. The liquid decant
is filtered through various filtration devices while the solids are wasted, dewatered, and dried. Pure palladium
or other precious metals are recovered from the solids while the liquid undergoes further precious metals
recovery. Spent rhenium catalyst processing follows a similar procedure aimed at the recovery of rhenium
as ammonium perrhenate salts. The effluent discharge at Gemini is generated by decant liquids from the
final metal precipitation and recovery process.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On November 6, 2019, Gemini had a Molybdenum violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on
December 12, 2019. OCSD will conduct a Compliance Inspection during the next quarter.
Hanson-Loran (Permit No. 1-0311071
Hanson-Loran manufactures water-based floor finishers and specialty cleaners for distribution and sales by
various independent contractors. The processes include dry blending (from which there is no wastewater
discharge)and wet blending. The dry blending process is located inside the building,where dry powders are
blended to produce Hanson-Loran's industrial cleaners. Wet blending is accomplished in four mixing tanks
at the rear of the building. Products include floor cleaners,waxes, strippers, cleaners, degreasers,sanitizers,
disinfectants, and soaps. Hanson-Loran's treatment system consists of an underground three-stage clarifier
with manual pH adjustment using pH strips and addition of granulated citric acid.
In October 2017, Hanson-Loran had pH violations. In November 2017, OCSD conducted a compliance
inspection and resampling, during which OCSD noted that the treatment system lacked adequate control.
Hence, OCSD advised Hanson-Loran to take corrective measures to prevent further pH noncompliance.
Hanson-Loran installed an automated pH control system to prevent further pH violations. The resampling
result showed compliance. In 2018, Hanson-Loran installed a second probe to verify the pH following
adjustment in the clarifier.
In March 2019, Hanson-Loran had another pH violation. In April 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance
Inspection during which it was determined that the pH adjustment system's set points were not adequately
2-25
set; therefore, the system was over-dosing caustic to the clarifier. The pretreatment system operators were
also manually adding citric acid to the final stage of the clarifier prior to the sample point in an attempt to
reduce the pH. However, due to lack of proper mixing of the chemical, a layer of citric acid had developed
at the bottom of the clarifier.
In April and May 2019, Hanson-Loran had additional pH violations. In June 2019, OCSD issued a letter
requiring Hanson-Loran to attend a Compliance Meeting.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 3, 2019, OCSD held a Compliance Meeting with Hanson-Loran during which the company re-
iterated that improper set points of the clarifier pH adjustment system led to operators manually adding citric
acid to the final stage of the clarifier in order to reduce the pH. This caused a layer of citric acid to develop
in the clarifier, which in turn caused the pH violation.
On July 22, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter requiring Hanson-Loran to propose
and install an automatic batch pH adjustment system outside of the clarifier with an automatic chemical
feed, a mixer, an automatic shutoff valve, and a 24-hour continuous pH chart recorder. Hanson Loran was
also required to determine the dimensions and volume/capacity of the clarifier to ensure the sample point
was adequately representative, and sampled wastewater was not retained past the sample date.
On November 13, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection to review the progress of the
installation and to review a proposed amendment to the previously accepted plan. The plan included
routing all wastewater to the first stage of the clarifier and then to the automatic pH adjustment batch tank to
avoid re-plumbing costs and also reduce pump demand. OCSD accepted the amendment on December 5,
2019.
OCSD will verify the completed installation of the automatic batch pH adjustment system in the next
reporting period and continue to monitor Hanson-Loran's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly
basis.
Harbor Truck Bodies, Inc. (Permit No. 1-021286)
Harbor Truck Bodies, Inc. (Harbor Truck)manufactures utility bodies, platform beds,toolboxes, and rear step-
bumpers. The effluent discharge at Harbor Truck is generated from the soap cleaning and phosphate
washing processes as well as rinsing in the spray booth. Wash water is collected in a large trench and a
sump system installed in the wash chamber floor. From the sump, the wash water is pumped by liquid level
control to a three stage pretreatment system on the west side of the facility, where pH is adjusted in the first
stage using caustic, followed by polymer/floc addition for solids precipitation in the second stage, and then
overflow into a collection/solids settling tank. Wastewater is discharged by gravity out of the building to a
three stage underground clarifier. Harbor Truck uses a filter press for dewatering of solids from the settling
tank.
In April 2019, Harbor Truck had a zinc monthly average discharge limit violation. In June 2019, OCSD
conducted a pre-permit inspection during which OCSD informed Harbor Truck of the zinc monthly limit
violation. During the inspection, Harbor Truck stated that the root cause of the zinc exceedance was a lack
of regular maintenance of the clarifier.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 1,2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the April 2019 zinc monthly limit violation. On August
2, 2019, Harbor Truck submitted a corrective action report indicating that the clarifier will be maintained on a
quarterly basis. This corrective action was also added as a requirement on Harbor's permit as a special
condition.
2-26
OCSD will continue to monitor Harbor Truck's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Hi Tech Solder(Permit No. 1-521790)
Hi Tech Solder is a specialty processing shop performing hot air solder leveling of printed circuit boards.
Wastewater is generated from the pre-cleaning and micro-etching processes and their associated rinses. Hi
Tech Solder utilizes a continuous hydroxide precipitation pretreatment system.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
In October 2019, Hi Tech Solder had a copper monthly average discharge limit violation. OCSD will issue a
Notice of Violation for this limit exceedance during the next reporting period.
Hightower Plating & Manufacturing Co. (Permit No. 1-021185)
Hightower Plating & Manufacturing Co. (Hightower) manufactures aerospace-quality washers by stamping
steel, stainless steel, and aluminum coils. The parts are deburred and then processed through a variety of
metal finishing steps depending on the material, to achieve the desired finish. Hightower's metal finishing
operations include alkaline cleaning, acid activation, chromic and sulfuric anodizing, cadmium plating, acid
zinc plating, nickel plating, caustic etching, deoxidation, chem film, dichromate sealing, and passivation.
Low concentration waste streams are treated using two ion exchange systems - one for cyanide bearing
waste streams and one for non-cyanide bearing waste streams. The treated water is returned to the process
tanks for reuse. The regenerant wastes from both ion exchange systems are processed through an
evaporator. Concentrated wastes (including but not limited to chromic acid from the anodizing tanks) are
wastehauled off-site. A small number of waste streams from the sulfuric anodize and chem film lines are sent
to a chromium collection tank and then treated using the chromium reduction system.
In May 2019, Hightower had cadmium concentration and mass violations. In a response letter submitted in
June 2019, Hightower stated that its investigation failed to identify a root cause, as no changes to its
wastewater generating and treatment activities have occurred, and confirmation sampling conducted by
Hightower in May and June 2019 showed compliance with the cadmium limits. Hightower had their split
sample analyzed and it yielded a lower result but still in exceedance of the cadmium limit.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 11, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection to investigate the cadmium violations that
occurred in May 2019. Hightower has been in the process of transitioning from using cyanide destruct and
chromium reductions systems to treating ion exchange regenerant with an evaporator. During this transition,
some of the cadmium bearing regenerant may have been treated unsuccessfully using the cyanide destruct
system.
In a follow-up letter submitted in July 2019, Hightower stated that the site would be sending cadmium ion
exchange regenerant to the wastewater evaporator under normal conditions in an effort to eliminate the
reoccurrence of a cadmium violation.
OCSD required Hightower to develop and submit updated site drawings and reminded Hightower that the
permittee is required to provide advance written notification to OCSD of any changes to the manufacturing
process or pretreatment system that affects the quantity or quality of the wastewater discharged to the sewer.
Hightower submitted updated facility drawings on October 1, 2019.
OCSD will continue to monitor Hightower's discharge and compliance status during the next reporting period.
2-27
Hixson Metal Finishing (Permit No. 1-061115)
Hixson Metal Finishing (Hixson) is a large metal finishing job shop. Various metallic parts from the aviation,
automotive, and electronics industries are received for surface finishing through aluminum chemfilm and
dyeing, cadmium, copper, and nickel electroplating, stainless-steel passivation, as well as a multitude of
chemical precleaning and surface activation processes. Wastewater is generated from the rinses used in the
various surface finish processes and fume hood wash water. Pretreatment consists of cyanide destruction
and chrome reduction followed by heavy metals precipitation using caustic soda for pH adjustment,coagulant
injection, polymer/flocculation and solids settling in a lamella clarifier, and removal to a sludge thickening
tank. Overflow from the clarifier is discharged to the sample box. The sludge from the clarifier is dewatered
with a filter press. Filtrate from the filter press is plumbed to the heavy metals precipitation module for further
treatment.
In October, November, and December 2017, Hixson had cadmium and nickel violations. In December 2017,
OCSD held a compliance meeting with Hixson during which OCSD pointed out that increasing levels of water
usage, as well as wastewater generation and discharge,were noted at the facility. Hixson acknowledged the
situation and stated they were working on a solution. In February 2018, OCSD issued an Order to Cease
Noncompliant Discharges due to the numerous violations of cadmium,copper,chromium, and nickel detected
during downstream monitoring of Hixon's discharge. In March 2018, OCSD held another compliance meeting
with Hixson,where Hixson agreed to a Settlement Agreement to settle their continued noncompliance. OCSD
conducted another compliance inspection during which pretreatment deficiencies were identified including
lack of operating procedures and lack of pretreatment system control and maintenance. These deficiencies
were addressed in a Settlement Agreement executed in September 2018 and effective in October 2018. In
October 2018, Hixson had chromium and silver violations coinciding with a slug discharge from a broken
flange gasket, for which a Notice of Violation was issued the same month. OCSD conducted a Compliance
Inspection and resampling during which it was noted that the piping conduit between secondary containment
and the pretreatment area contributing to the leak had been capped. The resampling results showed
compliance.
In November 2018, as required in the Settlement Agreement, Hixson submitted a Waste Management Plan,
an Industrial Waste Characterization, an Operation and Maintenance Manual, and a proposal to install an Ion
Exchange System. In addition, installation of an ion exchange system was necessary as a result Hixon's
limits changing from Pretreatment Standards of Existing Sources (PSES) designation to Pretreatment
Standards of New Sources (PSNS).
In March 2019, Hixson's new permit limits under the Pretreatment Standards for New Sources (PSNS)
became effective. In May and June 2019, Hixon had cadmium daily and monthly average discharge limit
violations.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 8 and 22, 2019, Notices of Violation were issued for the cadmium daily limit violations that occurred
in May and June 2019, respectively. On July 31, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and
resampling during which Hixson mentioned that the company was still fine-tuning various components of a
new closed-loop ion-exchange (IX) system. The Hixson representative believed that production employees
were generating carry-over from cadmium process tanks to rinse tanks not piped through the IX system, and
therefore discharging to the continuous treatment system. Hixson informed OCSD that they would alert and
train production staff on proper BMP's as they pertain to cadmium plated parts, allowing for proper rinsing in
the closed-loop IX system before moving to a different rinse tank. The resampling results showed
compliance.
On August 23, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the June 2019 cadmium daily limit violation. On
August 30, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the May 2019 cadmium monthly limit violation.
Hixson noted that the company was unable to determine the source of the violation, and it was noted that
most sampling results prior had been well below monthly average limits and daily average limits, as were the
following samples.
2-28
On November 19, 2019, Hixson had another cadmium violation. On November 26, 2019, OCSD issued a
Notice of Violation for the June 2019 cadmium monthly limit violation. On December 30,2019, OCSD issued
a Notice of Violation for the November 2019 cadmium violation.
OCSD will conduct a Compliance Inspection during the next quarter and will continue to monitor Hixson's
discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Independent Forge Company (Permit No. 1-021401)
Independent Forge Company (Independent Forge) forges parts for commercial aviation, military specific
applications, and other market sectors including bicycles, archery,jet ski, and motorcycle parts. Wastewater
is generated from the deburring, caustic etching, acid cleaning, and dye penetrant testing operations and
associated rinses. Independent Forge uses a batch treatment system to treat the waste streams from the
caustic etching and acid cleaning operations.
In February 2019, Independent Forge had zinc daily and monthly average discharge limit violations.
Independent Forge claimed that the root cause of the violation was the filter press, citing the age of the mesh
material on the plates caused a loss of removal efficiency. However, Independent Forge was unable to
explain the increase of zinc from 12.4 mg/L to 36.6 mg/L between the two sample dates, despite Independent
Forge's claim that it was the same batch of treated wastewater. In April 2019,OCSD conducted a Compliance
Inspection during which several deficiencies were noted including the lack of a functioning pH meter in the
batch treatment system, excessive accumulation of metal-bearing solids in the batch treatment tank, the use
of the batch treatment tank as the final holding tank prior to discharge, and the lack of an effective batch
treatment procedure.
In May 2019, Independent Forge had another zinc monthly average discharge limit violation. OCSD issued
a Compliance Requirements Letter directing Independent Forge to attend a Compliance Meeting later that
month to discuss multiple noncompliance issues. In June 2019, OCSD issued a Probation Order requiring
Independent Forge to rectify the compliance issues noted above.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On August 15, 2019, Independent Forge submitted a wastewater characterization and waste management
plan; however, the waste management plan was incomplete and missing the proposal for batch treatment
system modifications. After hiring a third-party consultant, Independent Forge re-submitted the waste
management plan with a proposal for batch treatment system modifications. The proposal was not accepted
since the planned modifications would not provide Independent Forge the means to maintain long term
compliance. On August 29, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the May 2019 zinc monthly limit
violation. In September 2019, Independent Forge indicated they would no longer renew their Class I
Wastewater Discharge Permit, which was about to expire end of that month, as they intend to pursue a Zero
Discharge Certification instead. On September 18, 2019, OCSD issued an Order to Cease Discharge,
directing Independent Forge to cease all industrial wastewater discharge on September 30, 2019, as a result
of permit expiration. On October 23, 2019, Independent Forge submitted their application for a Zero
Discharge Certification. On December 12, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and verified
that all sewer connections had been sealed to prevent further industrial wastewater discharge.
On October 21, 2019 Independent Forge was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019
reporting period due to acute zinc discharge violations on February 7, 2019 and February 27, 2019.
OCSD will continue to monitor Independent Forge's discharge and compliance status during the next
reporting period.

J&J Marine Acquisitions, LLC (Permit No. 1-551152)
J&J Marine Acquisitions, LLC (J&J Marine) performs boat maintenance and repair work, including hull
repairs and recoating, plus interior remodeling. Wastewater is generated from the boat washing and
cleaning process. Pretreatment consists of bag filtration followed by electrocoagulation and final pH
adjustment. J&J Marine also has the capability to collect, treat, store and reuse stormwater as industrial
process water in the boat washing and cleaning process throughout the facility(rather than discharging to
the Newport Beach Harbor).
In April 2019, J&J Marine had a copper violation. J&J Marine filed an appeal against the Notice of Violation
based on the analytical result of their split sample, which yielded a significantly lower result than OCSD's,
below the copper discharge limit.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 22, 2019, OCSD conducted a compliance inspection during which J&J Marine reported that while
cleaning one of the holding tanks for the treated effluent, a piece of copper scrap metal was found inside,
which was most likely the cause of the April 2019 copper violation. OCSD intended to conduct resampling
but no wastewater was available to collect a sample. During the inspection, J&J Marine noted that the
company was discharging treated stormwater during storm events if the stormwater volume exceeded the
facility's containment volume. OCSD reminded J&J Marine that discharge of stormwater to OCSD's
sewerage facilities is prohibited.
On July 23, 2019, OCSD issued a letter to J&J Marine stating that the result of OCSD's split sample
analysis confirmed exceedance of the copper discharge limit; therefore, J&J's appeal of the Notice of
Violation was denied.
On August 12, 2019, OCSD issued a letter arranging a compliance meeting at the request of J&J Marine
and their environmental consultant to discuss J&J Marine's permissible discharges as it pertains to sanitary
and industrial wastewater. On August 27, 2019, OCSD held a Compliance Meeting with J&J Marine during
which J&J Marine confirmed the practice of discharging treated stormwater and runoff to OCSD's sewer
when the volume exceeds the facility's storage capacity. OCSD reiterated the prohibition on stormwater
discharges to OCSD's sewerage facilities.
On November 21, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter directing J&J Marine to submit a
proposal to mitigate the discharge of stormwater and runoff to the sewer. On November 26, 2019, J&J
Marine submitted the required proposal.
OCSD will review J&J Marine's stormwater mitigation proposal during the next reporting period, and will
continue to monitor J&J Marine's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Kenlen Specialties, Inc. (Permit No. 1-021171)
Kenlen Specialties, Inc. (Kenlen) is job shop powdercoater. The company works on aluminum and steel
parts, which undergo a washing step prior to painting or powder coating. Washing is done through a three-
stage conveyorized automated washing machine with iron phosphate solution to remove any oil or other
contaminants on the parts, followed by a dragout rinse and final rinsing with deionized water. The rinsewater
is discharged directly from the machine to the sewer through the above ground sample box.
On October 2, 2018, Kenlen had molybdenum and zinc violations, for which a Notice of Violation was issued
on October 11, 2018. On October 30, 2018, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which it was
determined that the iron phosphate solution used by Kenlen contained molybdenum and that the violations
were a result of dragout entering the rinsewater. Kenlen stated they would instruct their employees to use
the dragout to replenish the process bath instead of emptying collected dragout into the rinse tank. OCSD
2-30
directed Kenlen to not dispose of remaining molybdenum-based solution to the sewer without treatment.
Kenlen is considering replacing their existing iron phosphate solution with a non-molybdate formulation.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On October 21,2019 Kenlen was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019 reporting period
due to an acute molybdenum discharge violation on October 2, 2018.
OCSD will continue to monitor Kenlen's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Linco Industries
Linco Industries, Inc. (Linco)is a small metal parts stripping and cleaning facility. Parts are mostly automotive
and motorcycle wheel rims and other accessories. Paint and other non-metallic coatings are stripped in a
high temperature (550°F) salt bath (blend of sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate), or in cold (160°F) strip
tanks (blend of ethanolamine, n-methlpyrrolidone and dibasic ester). Parts from the salt stripping process
are rinsed in low volume overflow rinse, controlled and treated with a pH monitor and sulfuric acid solution to
reduce the pH down to the 9.0 — 10.0 range, then pumped to an aboveground clarifier. Parts from the cold
stripping process are rinsed by a manual high-pressure spray and wastewater from the wash pad area is
collected and pumped into a tank for minimal solids settling and oil separation before pumping to the
aboveground clarifier. The first stage of the clarifier is used for final pH adjustment with sulfuric acid and
caustic. Water from the final stage of clarifier flows over a weir and into a drum where sampling is conducted.
Absorbent pads are used in the drum to remove any excess oil.
In January 2019, Linco had an oil & grease violation. In March 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance
Inspection during which Linco attributed the cause of the violation to insufficient changing of the oil &grease
absorbent pads that are placed on top of the tanks. OCSD directed Linco to maintain a log sheet to record
the frequency of replacing the absorbent pads. Linco indicated the possibility of installing an oil skimmer in
the future if necessary.
June 1 — December 31, 2019
On October 15, 2019, Linco had a zinc violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on November
26, 2019. On November 19,2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which Linco attributed
the violation to operator error. Linco explained that one of their operators opened a wrong valve by mistake,
which allowed unfiltered wastewater to bypass part of treatment and be discharged directly to the sewer.
Linco reported that the company had made modifications to the pretreatment system in response to previous
oil and grease violations. These modifications included installation of two new tanks for pH adjustment and
solid settling and an oil skimmer. OCSD directed Linco to disconnect the identified bypass piping immediately
and reviewed the new arrangement. On December 12,2019, Linco submitted a corrective action letter which
indicated that the bypass had been removed.
OCSD will continue to monitor Linco's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Logi Graphics, Inc. (Permit No. 1-031049)
Logi Graphics, Inc. (Logi)produces circuit boards to customer specifications and specializes in prototype and
small volume orders. The manufacturing typically begins with cutting the copper clad materials, drilling,
photoresist application, inner-layer circuit imaging, resist developing, sulfuric peroxide etching, and alkaline
resist stripping. This is followed by brown oxide surface preparation and lamination. The holes are Be-
smeared with sulfuric acid and made conductive through electroless copper plating. Outer-layer circuit
development is conducted by either panel plate or pattern plate processes. Panel plate proceeds with copper
plating followed by photoresist application, circuit imaging, resist developing, tin/lead (resist) plating, sulfuric
2-31
peroxide etching, and tin/lead stripping. Solder mask application and final surface finishing, such as hot air
solder leveling and/or electrolytic nickel/gold plating, complete the wet processing.
In June 2019, Logi had a copper monthly average discharge limit violation.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On September 3, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the June 2019 copper monthly limit violation.
Logi was unable to identify a root cause for the violation and determined that it was not a recurring event as
multiple samples in subsequent months showed copper concentrations below the monthly limit.
OCSD will continue to monitor Logi's discharge and compliance status during the next report period.
Maruchan, Inc.— Laguna Cyn (Permit No. 1-141015)
Maruchan, Inc.—Laguna Cyn (Maruchan Laguna)manufactures dried Japanese ramen noodle food products
and packages them into plastic wrapping or polystyrene foam cups. Wastewater is generated by the drained
condensation of the dried steamed noodles, and the cleaning of the equipment used in the production
operation. Cleaning occurs at least once a day and includes the food processing equipment as well as the
surrounding areas. Wastewater is discharged through collection components along the production lines,
which are also cleaned on a daily basis.
The pretreatment system at Maruchan Laguna consists of a clarifier, in the basement of a wastewater
collection building located to the northwest of the manufacturing facility. The clarifier is equipped with a
surface skimmer and collector to remove separated oil. A pH adjustment system continuously controls the
acidity of wastewater discharge via an automated caustic chemical feed pump. A 10,000-gallon underground
grease interceptor captures grease waste not removed in the clarification process, to prevent fats, oils, and
grease buildup in the sanitary sewer system. The interceptor is regularly cleaned at least every two-weeks.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 24, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter to Maruchan Laguna to address the
compliance issues relating to stormwater management and pH adjustment system. The proposal for pH
adjustment system was due by September 15, 2019 and the installation for stormwater solution was due by
October 31, 2019. Maruchan Laguna implemented both solutions on time and no other non-compliance
issues have been observed at the facility.
OCSD will continue to monitor Maruchan Laguna's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Meggitt, Inc. (Permit No. 1-600006)
Meggitt, Inc. (Meggitt) produces sensing and monitoring systems that measure physical parameters in the
extreme environments of aircraft, space vehicles, power generators, nuclear, oil and gas installations, and
test laboratories. Processes used in manufacturing operations include, but are not limited to, machining,
sawing, coating, sandblasting, welding, brazing, and metal finishing. Parts worked on are made of Inconel,
stainless steel and tungsten. Wastewater-generating processes include electro-polishing, passivation,
etching, filament cleaning, ceramic dicing, ceramic dimensional polishing, ceramic tumbling, nickel bath
plating, parts washing, and emergency only discharge of non-contact cooling water from the annealing
furnace operations. Wastewater generated from the ceramic dimensional polishing operation, as well as the
spent silver nitrate solution from the ceramic tumbling are wastehauled offsite. Rinses from these and the
other wastewater generating operations discharge to a three-stage polypropylene aboveground tank, in which
sodium hydroxide is added in the first and third compartments for pH adjustment,as most of the wastestreams
are acidic in nature. pH-adjusted effluent is collected in a 750-gallon holding tank to facilitate batch discharge
sampling.
2-32
In March 2019, Meggitt had lead and silver monthly average discharge limit violations. In June 2019, Meggitt
had another lead monthly average discharge limit violation. OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection
during which Meggitt specified that the only two possible sources for the exceedances are the rinse
associated with the silver plating and ceramic dicing machine. OCSD directed Meggitt to implement an
additional pre-cleaning step at the rinse associated with silver and the ceramic dicing machine. The permittee
is currently in the process of buying a filtration system for the dicing machine to further reduce the lead
concentration in the wastewater.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On August 2, 2019, Meggitt had another lead violation,for which a Notice of Violation was issued on August
20, 2019. This daily limit exceedance also resulted in a monthly average discharge limit violation for lead for
the month of August 2019. The cause of these violations is attributable to the dicing saw and lapping
processes. On August 30, 2019, Meggitt submitted a corrective action report indicating that the filtration
system for the dicing saw was already added. OCSD directed Meggitt to conduct pilot testing before
discharging the waste stream directly to the sample point to ensure the filtration system will adequately
remove lead from the waste stream. On September 3, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the June
2019 lead monthly limit violation. On September 11, 2019, Meggitt updated the corrective action report
indicating that the company will add a mixed bed resin system in addition to the filtration system to further
remove lead from the wastewater. During routine inspection visits, OCSD has confirmed that the
pretreatment system is operational and stable. Meggitt had no further violations after the installation of the
system. On November 7, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the August 2019 lead monthly limit
violation.
OCSD will continue to monitor Meggitt's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
National Construction Rentals (Permit No. 1-600652)
National Construction Rentals (National) is a supplier of temporary fencing, barricades, portable toilets,
restroom trailers, mobile storage containers, and temporary power poles. Wastewater is generated from
the washing and cleaning of portable toilets and restroom trailers. The wastewater is routed to a three-
stage underground clarifier before discharge to the sewer.
In February and March 2019, National had pH violations, and was issued Notices of Violation. In May 2019,
OCSD issued a Compliance Requirement Letter directing National to attend a Compliance Meeting to discuss
the non-compliant pH discharges, as well as National's failure to submit several proposals and deliverables
between December 2018 and February 2019. In June 2019, OCSD held the Compliance Meeting with
National during which the company indicated that the source of the pH violations was a chemical containing
hydrochloric acid used in the portable toilet washing process. National had since discontinued the use of the
chemical from the washing process. Following the Compliance Meeting, OCSD issued a second Compliance
Requirements Letter directing National to install an automated pH adjustment system, propose a stormwater
mitigation plan to prevent stormwater from entering the three-stage clarifier as prohibited by OCSD's
Ordinance, and submit a Slug Discharge Control Plan.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 24, 2019, OCSD issued another Compliance Letter for National's failure to submit information
required in the previous Compliance Requirements Letter with the exception of the Slug Discharge Control
Plan draft submittal.
On September 18, 2019, since no proposals or plans had still been received, OCSD issued an Order to
Cease Non-Compliance. In this letter, National was directed to attend a Compliance Meeting.
2-33
On October 2, 2019, OCSD held the Compliance Meeting during which National stated there was a
disconnect between staff and their two consultants as to who was responsible for various submittals.
OCSD reiterated the need for a stormwater mitigation plan but understood that since National was no
longer using acidic products to clean the portable toilets, only a pH monitoring system would be required,
not an automatic pH adjustment system as previously required. During the Compliance Meeting, OCSD
informed National of its intent to issue an Administrative Complaint but gave National the option to enter
into a Settlement Agreement to settle the administrative fines related to the non-compliances. National
agreed to settle the matter with OCSD.
On November 4 and 5, 2019, National had two additional pH violations, for which a Notice of Violation was
issued on November 14, 2019. On November 18, 2019, an Order to Cease Non-Compliant Discharges
was issued along with a requirement to attend another Compliance Meeting.
On November 25, 2019, OCSD held the Compliance Meeting with National to discuss the two most recent
pH violations (one of which had a pH below the State hazardous limit of 2.0 S.U.). Although National had
previously informed OCSD that they would no longer use chemicals that caused the pH to fall below 6.0, it
was determined that an employee used one of these chemicals during toilet cleaning operations. National
mentioned that the employee attempted to manually raise the pH by adding chemicals directly to the
clarifier, however added a chemical called "pH Down"which caused the pH to fall below hazardous waste
levels. OCSD explained that since National's cleaning operations are not adequately controlled to achieve
compliance with discharge limits, an automatic pH adjustment system would be required. OCSD and
National negotiated a revised settlement in the amount of$22,000.00.
On December 26, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter directing National to install an
automatic pH adjustment system.
OCSD will issue National a Settlement Agreement in the next reporting period for all related non-
compliances and will continue to monitor National's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Patio and Door Outlet, Inc. (Permit No. 1-521783)
Patio and Door Outlet, Inc. (Patio) manufactures and sells high-end patio furniture. Aluminum tubing and
sheeting are cut, bent, formed and welded in the manufacture of the framing for chairs and tables. After
assembly, frames are washed, iron-phosphated, sealed, and powder-coated in various colors and textures.
Patio also manufactures padding and furniture coverings from foam sheets and fabric covers. Wastewater
from the iron-phosphate rinse is routed through a three-stage clarifier where it is pH adjusted prior to
discharge to the sewer.
In February 2019, Patio had a molybdenum violation. In April 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance
Inspection during which Patio reported that their investigation found the iron-phosphate solution, which is
used to prepare metal products for powder-coating, to contain molybdenum. Patio purchased a new non-
molybdate metal preparation solution and waste-hauled the molybdenum-bearing wastewater prior to
restarting the powder coating preparation system.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On October 21, 2019 Patio was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019 reporting period
due to an acute molybdenum discharge violation on February 21, 2019.
Patio had no further violations during this reporting period. OCSD will continue to monitor Patio's discharge
and compliance status during the next report period.
2-34
Pioneer Circuits, Inc. (Permit No. 1-011262)
Pioneer Circuits, Inc. (Pioneer) is a manufacturer of multilayer rigid, rigid-flex, and flexible printed circuit
boards and assemblies. The manufacturing of a multilayer board generally proceeds by cutting the copper
clad materials, photoresist application, inner-layer circuit imaging, resist developing, cupric chloride etching,
and alkaline resist stripping. This is followed by surface prep (Cobra Bond), lamination, and drilling. The
holes are cleaned by either permanganate or plasma etching and made conductive through electroless
copper plating. Outer-layer circuit development is conducted by pattern plate process steps including
photoresist application, circuit imaging, resist developing, copper plating, tin/lead resist plating, ammonium
etching, and solder stripping. Solder mask application and surface finishing such as hot air levelling or
fuse-oil reflow complete Pioneers' wet process operations. Nickel/gold plating, if required, is outsourced.
The effluent discharge at Pioneer is generated by aqueous fume scrubbing, boiler blowdown, reverse
osmosis brine, various spent process solutions, and the associated rinses.
In June 2019, Pioneer had a copper violation.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 9, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the previous month's copper violation. On July 31,
2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and resampling, during which Pioneer attributed the
violation to operator error. Pioneer explained that on the day the violation occurred, a batch of Cobra Bond,
which is typically treated on its own, was combined with additional wastestreams resulting in improper batch
treatment. Pioneer stated that measures have been taken to ensure that all Cobra Bond batches are
treated separately from all other wastestreams. The resampling results showed compliance.
OCSD will continue to monitor Pioneer's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Primatex Industries, Inc. (Permit No. 1-031036)
Primatex Industries, Inc. (Primatex) performs rotary screen printing of fabrics. Water-based inks are applied
to fabric by means of perforated print design screens using one of two rotary printers. The facility also has
two Sanforizing machines (a method of stretching, shrinking, and fixing the woven cloth in both length and
width, before cutting to reduce the shrinkage which would otherwise occur after washing), two drying
machines to dry printed cloth, a sanding machine, a crinkling machine, and two industrial washing and drying
machines. Wastewater is generated by the washing of the printers and the washing of cloth in the industrial
washing machines. Wastewater is collected in an outside sump from where it is pumped through a lint
removal unit then to the inside of a rotating drum filter constructed of screen material. The lint is trapped on
the inside, while wastewater passes through the screen and is discharged to a three-stage underground
clarifier with sample box. A timed spray rinse above the drum cleans the outside of debris, which falls to a
screen located directly below the drum.
On July 3, 2018, Primatex had a zinc violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on July 12, 2018.
An appeal to the Notice of Violation was received by OCSD on July 27, 2018, but it was denied on August 9,
2018 since OCSD's archive sample test result was consistent with the original test result. On August 6, 2018,
OCSD conducted resampling followed by a Compliance Inspection on August 14, 2018. During both the
compliance inspection and resampling, OCSD reviewed all available material safety data sheets but could
not identify the source of the zinc violation. It was later discovered that a discharge agent called Parolite
(used in the production of bright prints on dark fabrics, the main ingredient being Zinc formaldehyde
sulfoxylate), which had not been used in over two years, may have been added to the production process by
mistake. The remaining Parolite was returned to Primatex's chemical supplier.
2-35
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On October 21, 2019 Primatex was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019 reporting
period due to an acute zinc discharge violation on July 3, 2018.
Primatex had no further violations during this reporting period. OCSD will continue to monitor Primatex's
discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.
Prudential Overall Supply (Permit No. 1-071235)
Prudential Overall Supply (Prudential) is in the business of garment rental and cleaning and operates a
number of facilities throughout the United States. The facility in Irvine is equipped with automated laundering
machinery and specializes in cleaning and redistribution of uniforms, mats, napkins,and aprons at an average
rate of 24,800 pounds of laundry per day. Prudential does not operate a pretreatment system, but instead
utilizes a collection basin used for suspended solids separation and a multi-stage underground clarifier.
Wastewater from the facility is discharged into the open-topped-below-grade basin from which it is pumped
through a screen shaker to remove lint and larger solids. After passing through the shaker, wastewater is
discharged back into the basin where it flows by gravity through a multi-stage underground clarifier before
discharging to the sewer system. The sample point is the final stage of the clarifier.
July 1, 2019— December 31, 2019
On July 24, 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter to address Prudential's compliance
issues pertaining to stormwater management and potential discharge of solids to the sewer from the shaker
screen system by October 15, 2019. Prudential requested an extension of the due date to determine the
most appropriate path forward.
OCSD will conduct a Compliance Inspection during the next reporting period to confirm installation of the
proposed solution.

Republic Waste Services (Permit No. 1-521827)
Republic Waste Services (Republic)washes the inside and outside of trash bins in a contained and partially
covered area in the facility. Washwater is routed through a three-stage clarifier before discharge to the sewer.
Clarifier maintenance includes regular skimming and annual pump out of the sludge buildup.
In October 2018, Republic had cadmium, copper, lead and zinc violations. In November 2018, OCSD
conducted a Compliance Inspection and resampling during which Republic indicated that no operational
changes had been made onsite and, therefore, they were not able to identify any internal source for the
violations. The company indicated that the only possible source would be from illicit materials disposed of in
trash bins prior to washout, such as sand blasting dust or batteries. Republic pumped out the clarifier as part
of their corrective action. The resampling results showed compliance.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 18, 2019, Republic had chromium, copper, lead, nickel and zinc violations again, for which a Notice
of Violation was issued on August 20, 2019. On August 28, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance
Inspection during which Republic attributed the violations to excessive solids buildup in the clarifier and carry
over of the solids to the sample point. As a corrective action, Republic increased frequency of their clarifier
pump-out from quarterly to monthly. OCSD increased frequency of Republic's heavy metals self-monitoring
to monthly effective December 1, 2019.
On October 21, 2019 Republic was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019 reporting
period due to acute cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc discharge violations on October 3, 2018.
On November 7, 2019, Republic had another copper violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on
December 3, 2019. On December 16, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection during which
Republic attributed the violation to degradation of copper tubing attached to the heated pressure washer used
in washing the trash bins. Republic had since replaced the deteriorated tubing. On December 30, 2019,
OCSD issued an Order to Cease Non-Compliant Discharges and directed Republic to attend a Compliance
Meeting scheduled for the following month to discuss Republic's recurring violations.
OCSD will continue to monitor Republic's discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.

Star Manufacturinq LLC, dba Commercial Metal Forminq (Permit No. 1-600653)
Star Manufacturing LLC, dba Commercial Metal Forming (Star) is a metal forming shop that specializes in
stamping and forming metal tank heads on mechanical and hydraulic presses for use in the manufacture of
vessels. Star's ancillary operations include plasma cutting metal blanks, plasma and oxyacetylene trimming,
metal heat treating, pressure washing finished tank heads, welding, steam cleaning, and part washing.
Wastewater is generated from the steam cleaning and washing of production pieces, which are typically
coated with lubricant. Wastewater is collected in an underground sump and then pumped to an equalization
tank from which the wastewater is gravity-fed through bag filters before discharge to the sewer.
In February and March 2019,Star had oil&grease violations. In March 2019,OCSD conducted a Compliance
Inspection to determine if Star had made any improvements to its existing treatment system. Star personnel
stated that they were continuing to research various technologies to ensure long term compliance with their
permit limits and requirements. Star was aware that the use of bag filters is inadequate as primary treatment
to remove oil and grease. In April 2019, OCSD issued a Compliance Requirements Letter requiring the
submittal of a waste management proposal by May 2019, and installation of the proposed pretreatment
system by June 2019 after acceptance by OCSD. While Star met the deadline for submitting the proposal,
they installed the system without prior acceptance from OCSD. Star installed a zeolite multimedia filter tank
equipped with a control valve that accommodates a backwash cycle to remove accumulated contaminants
from the zeolite. However, the effectiveness of the backwash cycle using untreated gravity-fed water is
unclear.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 10,2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and resampling during which OCSD noted that
Star had not made any further improvements to the treatment system using the zeolite filter media and lacked
understanding of an appropriate preventative maintenance schedule to maintain compliance. The resampling
detected an oil &grease violation.
On August 12, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the oil &grease noncompliance detected in the
previous month's resample. OCSD also issued a Compliance Requirements Letter directing Star to attend a
Compliance Meeting to discuss implementation of corrective actions to develop and maintain an effective
treatment system. The Compliance Meeting was held on August 21, 2019. On September 24, 2019,
following the Compliance Meeting, OCSD issued another Compliance Requirements Letter requiring Star to
complete the installation of the proposed treatment system by October 30, 2019. Star had since completed
installation of the treatment system, improved the operation of the zeolite filter tanks, and added a treated
wastewater holding tank.
On October 21, 2019 Star was published as significantly non-compliant for the 2018-2019 reporting period
due to chronic and acute oil &grease of mineral or petroleum discharge violations on February 15, 2019 and
March 21, 2019.

a reverse osmosis system that also contribute to the wastewater discharge. The wastewater passes through
one or two four-stage underground clarifiers (depending on the location in the plant) prior to the sample point.
2-38
Additional wastewater is generated downstream of the clarifiers from washing the inside of tanker trucks after
unloading bulk liquid ingredients and products. The wash pad is located outside in a bermed and roofed
area. Other sources of wastewater that discharge through the sample point include boiler blowdown, cooling
tower bleed-off, and water softener regeneration waste. The total flow from all industrial wastewater is
captured by the open channel meter outside the facility gate.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
Due to a pH issue in OCSD's sewer system in the area of Stremick's facility, OCSD conducted 24-hour
monitoring of Stremick's discharge from November 18 to November 19, 2019. The pH results indicated that
the pH fell below 6.0 and above 12.0 on numerous occasions. On November 20, 2019, Stremick's had an
additional pH violation, for which a Notice of Violation was issued on December 30, 2019.
OCSD will conduct a Compliance Inspection during the next quarter and continue to monitor Stremick's
discharge and compliance status on a quarterly basis.

precipitation, clarification, coagulation, filter press and final effluent filtration. The non-metal bearing
wastestreams undergo pH adjustment only.
From January 2019 through February 2019, OCSD conducted covert downstream monitoring of Superior's
discharge during which cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc and pH violations were detected. In March 2019,
OCSD issued an Order to Cease Noncompliant Discharges informing Superior of OCSD's intention to initiate
administrative proceedings against Superior based on the discharge violations detected during the
downstream monitoring. In April 2019, OCSD held a Compliance Meeting with Superior during which the
company chose to enter into a Settlement Agreement with OCSD to settle the violations and avoid
administrative proceedings. The Settlement Agreement was issued in May 2019 and included a negotiated
$50,000 administrative penalty.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 1, 2019, OCSD issued a Probation Order requiring Superior to conduct a proper evaluation of its
pretreatment system and to make any necessary improvements to achieve consistent compliance. The final
compliance date for the Probation Order schedule was September 15, 2019. On August 15, 2019, OCSD
conducted a Compliance Inspection and found that Superior, with the aid of their consultant, had made
adequate progress in complying with their Probation Order requirements. The company also submitted all
required self-monitoring & biweekly reports in a timely manner.
On August 14, 2019, Superior had a cyanide (total) violation, for which issued a Notice of Violation was
issued on September 12, 2019. This daily limit exceedance also resulted in a monthly average discharge
limit violation for cyanide (total) for the month of August 2019. On September 23, 2019, OCSD conducted
another Compliance Inspection to verify compliance with Probation Order and inquire about the cause of the
recent cyanide violation. Superior's efforts to improve compliance included: installation of new measurement
equipment(ORP&pH measurement, new pumps&piping),training for treatment operators in the use of new
2-39
bench test kits for metals&improved control equipment, and an updated pretreatment system schematic and
an updated Operations & Maintenance manual. On October 3, 2019, OCSD conducted a follow-up
inspection and resampling and found that Superior's consultant had evaluated the cyanide destruct system
and concluded that the control equipment (pH & ORP) was faulty and needed replacement. The pH and
ORP controller had already been completed by the time of the inspection. The resampling results showed
compliance.
On November 7, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the August 2019 cyanide (total) monthly limit
violation. OCSD will continue to monitor Superior's discharge and compliance status during the next reporting
period to determine if additional enforcement is necessary.
Superior Processing (1-021403)
Superior Processing is a metal plating job shop specializing in electroless nickel/immersion gold, electrolytic
nickel/gold, electrolytic and immersion silver, and immersion tin plating on customer supplied printed circuit
boards. Wastewater is generated from these wet operations and the associated rinses. Wastewater is
segregated into two wastestreams. The metal-bearing waste is routed to continuous ion exchange system
and the cyanide-bearing waste is routed to the batch cyanide destruct system.
July 1 — December 31, 2019
On July 30, 2019, Superior Processing had a nickel concentration violation and a nickel mass violation, for
which a Notice of Violation was issued on August 21, 2019. This daily limit exceedance also resulted in a
monthly average discharge limit violation for nickel for the month of July 2019. On October 3, 2019, OCSD
conducted a Compliance Inspection and resampling during which OCSD learned that the effluent from the
cyanide destruct system is discharged directly to the sewer without going through the ion exchange system
to remove any nickel that might be present in the cyanide-bearing wastestreams. OCSD believes that
Superior Processing has not had nickel violations in the past because previous OCSD sampling had been
conducted when there was no simultaneous discharge from the cyanide destruct system. Thus, OCSD
suspects that the nickel violations came from the cyanide destruct system effluent, as there was simultaneous
discharge from that system at the time of sampling. Hence, OCSD directed Superior Processing to plumb
the cyanide treatment effluent to the ion exchange system for metals removal prior to discharge to the sewer.
The resampling results showed compliance.
On October 14, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the July 2019 nickel monthly limit violation.
Though Superior Processing had already replumbed the cyanide treatment system effluent through the ion
exchange system, on December 3, 2019, Superior Processing had another nickel concentration violation
and another nickel mass violation. OCSD will issue a Notice of Violation and conduct a follow-up Compliance
Inspection for these recent violations during the next reporting period.

On July 9, 2019, OCSD issued a Notice of Violation for the previous month's oil & grease violation. On
August 12, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection, during which Thompson Energy indicated that
the source of the violation was failure of LMI chemical pumps on site. During the site inspection, Thompson
Energy provided a corrective action report indicating that the dosing pumps and associated piping have been
replaced. On August 28, 2019, Thompson Energy had another oil & grease violation, for which a Notice of
Violation was issued on October 28, 2019.
On November 12, 2019, OCSD conducted a Compliance Inspection and resampling during which OCSD
determined that Thompson Energy's ongoing oil&grease violations are being caused by insufficient retention
time due to one of the two clarification tanks being out of service, along with other multiple operational issues.
During the next reporting period, OCSD will pursue escalated enforcement action as a result of the continued
noncompliance.

SANTA ANA WATERSHED PROJECT AUTHORITY (SAWPA)
SAWPA Semi-Annual Report July 2019- December 2019
3.0 Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority(SAWPA)
SAWPA was formed in 1968 to develop a long-range plan for managing, preserving,and protecting
the quality of water supplies in the Santa Ana Basin. SAWPA is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA)
consisting of five member agencies: Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), Inland Empire
Utilities Agency (IEUA), Orange County Water District (OCWD), San Bernardino Valley Municipal
Water District(Valley District), and Western Municipal Water District(WMWD).SAWPA's program
in water quality management is integrated with those of other local, state, and federal agencies.
The Inland Empire Brine Line(Brine Line) is a pipeline designed to carry saline wastewater from the
Upper Basin to the Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)for disposal, after treatment, into the
Pacific Ocean. This wastewater consists of a mixture of desalter brine and saline wastewater from
Industrial Users(IUs), but also some temporary domestic discharges. The wastewater is treated by
OCSD to comply with environmental standards before discharge to the ocean outfall. The capacity
of the Brine Line available to SAWPA is 30 MG per day (MGD). The average daily discharge was
10.88 MGD for this reporting period.
3.1 Brine Line System Pretreatment Program Overview
SAWPA has a wastewater discharge ordinance applicable to the Brine Line. It is essentially, with
some appropriate modifications,substantially similar to OCSD's Wastewater Discharge Regulations
Ordinance. In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding is in place to delineate pretreatment
permitting, monitoring, enforcement, and reporting responsibilities between SAWPA and OCSD.
SAWPA has entered into a Multijurisdictional Pretreatment Agreement (Agreement) with the City
of Beaumont (Beaumont), Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), Inland Empire Utilities
Agency (IEUA), Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD), San Bernardino Municipal Water
Department (SBMWD), San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (Valley District), Western
Municipal Water District (WMWD), and Yucaipa Valley Water District (YVWD). This Agreement
delineates the pretreatment responsibilities between SAWPA and the agencies to carry out and
enforce a pretreatment program to control discharges from IUs located in their service areas.
SAWPA owns and operates the Brine Line above the Orange County line and has purchased 17
MGD of treatment and disposal capacity rights at OCSD's treatment facilities. As of December 31,
2019, there are forty-two (42) direct connections including twelve (12) emergency connections
discharging to the Brine Line. Twenty(20) indirect discharge Permittees located within the SAWPA
service area discharge to the four (4) Brine Line Collection Stations (Collection Stations). The
Collection Stations are located in, and operated by, the following agencies: EMWD, IEUA, San
Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD) on behalf of Valley District, and the City of
Corona on behalf of WMWD.
SAWPA has the permitting responsibilities for all Liquid Waste Haulers (LWH) that use the
Collection Stations. As of December 31, 2019,there are ten (10) LWH permitted by SAWPA to use
the Collection Stations. The SAWPA LWH permits assign a primary collection station and alternate
collection station should the primary collection station become unavailable due to repairs or
closure.
3-1
During the reporting period (July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019) SAWPA continued
implementation of numerous program documents and worked to improve the operation and
implementation of the Pretreatment Program. A multijurisdictional pretreatment agreement
between SAWPA and the member/contract agencies defines the roles and responsibilities of
SAWPA and the Agencies. SAWPA and the member and contract agencies use a procedures
document for uniform and consistent implementation of the Pretreatment Program. Orange
County Sanitation District (OCSD) has completed the process of updating and revising their Sewer
User Ordinance, Ordinance OCSD-53. As Delegated Control Authority to OCSD SAWPA is required
to update their Ordinance to include relevant OCSD revisions. SAWPA has developed draft
Ordinance No. 9 which has been revised to incorporate the updates within the new OCSD
Ordinance. SAWPA submitted the draft Ordinance to OCSD for their review and concurrence on
October 17, 2019. It is anticipated SAWPA will receive comments from OCSD regarding the draft
Ordinance in early 2020.
Reporting below is individually presented for each SAWPA Pretreatment Program
member/contract agency.
3.2 SAWPA Pretreatment Program
3.2.1 The City of Beaumont (Beaumont)
Description of Beaumont
Beaumont is the owner and operator of the City of Beaumont wastewater treatment plant
and will be responsible for the implementation of certain pretreatment program activities
for the industries connected to the Brine Line within its service area upon its connection
to the Brine Line in 2020. Beaumont is being required by the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control Board to proactively manage salinity in the two underlying groundwater
basins, the Beaumont and San Timoteo Groundwater Management Zones. As a result,
Beaumont has elected to install Reverse Osmosis (RO) treatment of the tertiary treated
wastewater treatment plant effluent. The RO concentrate will be discharged to the Brine
Line. The Beaumont wastewater treatment plant discharges to Cooper's Creek, tributary
to San Timoteo Creek, which is tributary to the Santa Ana River. By discharging the bine
concentrate to the Brine Line, discharge of a minimum 685 tons of salt to the Santa Ana
River are avoided, benefiting the downstream groundwater basins. The RO facility is
expected to be completed,tested and on-line and connection to the Brine Line completed
in mid-2020. Currently there are no permitted users within the Beaumont Service Area.
3.2.2 Eastern Municipal Water District(EMWD)
Description of EMWD
EMWD is a Municipal Water District responsible for the implementation of certain
pretreatment activities for the indirect and direct industries that discharge to EMWD's
Non-Reclaimable Waste Line, which discharges to the Brine Line at Reach V. In the face of
declining groundwater levels and continuing droughts, EMWD was formed in 1950 to
secure additional water for a lightly populated area of western Riverside County. EMWD
joined the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California a year later to augment its
local supplies with recently available imported water. EMWD also provides sewer service
throughout its area. The EMWD headquarters are located in Perris, California and serves
3-2
the eastern portion of the watershed in Riverside County, as well as portions of the Santa

Enforcement Action
• Infineon Technologies Americas Corporation (Permit No. 11039-3)
A Notice of Violation and Order for Corrective Action (NOV/OCA) was issued to Infineon
Technologies Americas Corporation (Infineon) on November 20, 2019 for a pollutant
limitation violation. On November 11, 2019 EMWD received a low pH alarm at its
Integrated Operations Center from an inline pH meter at the EMWD Collection Station.
The pH was at 5.7 S.U. a violation of the Daily Minimum Discharge Limitation of 6.0 S.U. as
stated in Permit No. 11039-3. The NOV/OCA required the permittee to submit a written
report detailing the cause, and corrective taken to prevent the recurrence of the violation
by no later than December 4, 2019. Infineon responded on November 27, 2019 and
attributed the cause of the violation to a fouled pH sensor which caused the system to
under correct for chemical addition. Immediately upon discovery of the pH violation
Infineon cleaned and re-calibrated the pH meter. Infineon made a decision to clean the
pH sensor twice a day to prevent any re-occurrence, and in addition the truckers who haul
are now required to take the pH with a handheld pH meter for confirmation of the pH with
the inline pH meter. Implementation of the corrective actions identified above,and follow-
up sampling indicated compliance; subsequently, the enforcement action was closed.
EMWD shall continue to conduct unannounced inspections and wastewater monitoring at
Infineon to ensure consistent compliance with permit requirements and SAWPA Ordinance

Enforcement Action
• Eastside Water Treatment Facility(Permit No. 11024-2.1)
A Notice of Violation and Order for Corrective Action (NOV/OCA) was issued to Eastside
Water Treatment Facility (Eastside) on June 26, 2019 for a pollutant limitation violation.
On June 4, 2019, IEUA collected a wastewater sample from Monitoring Point 002. The pH
field analysis indicated the pH was 5.3 SU which exceeded the Local Daily Minimum
Discharge Limitation of 6.0 SU as stated by Permit. The NOV/OCA required Eastside to
submit a written report detailing the cause of the violation and corrective actions on or
before July 10, 2019. Furthermore, the permittee is required to test the pH of every
wastewater load to ensure compliance prior to transporting them to the collection station.
Eastside responded on July 9, 2019 and attributed the cause of the violation to low quality
salt that was delivered to its facility and used in the ion exchange process. Eastside stated
its employees will inspect all loads of salt to verify the quality prior to accepting them.
Eastside also stated their hauler took a wastewater load prior to operating hours without
confirming pH was between 6.0 S.U. and 12.0 S.U. Treatment Plant operators received
training and reviewed SOP procedures to ensure pH is checked on each load prior to hauler
leaving its facility. Eastside also notified their hauling company was also notified
wastewater shall not be removed from the site until a City employee checks the pH.
Implementation of the corrective actions identified above, and follow-up sampling
indicated compliance; subsequently, the enforcement action was closed. IEUA shall
continue to conduct unannounced inspections and wastewater monitoring at Eastside to
ensure consistent compliance with permit requirements and SAWPA Ordinance No. 8.
• OLS Energy—Chino(Permit No. D1059-3)
A Notice of Violation and Order for Corrective Action (NOV/OCA)was issued to OLS Energy
—Chino (OLS) on October 2, 2019 for a pollutant limitation violation and hazardous waste
discharge. On September 22, 2019, OLS discharged 59 gallons of low pH wastewater(1.5
SU) to the Brine Line. This low pH discharge is a prohibited waste as stated in SAWPA
Ordinance No. 8 and IEUA Ordinance No. 106. Furthermore, OLS failed to immediately
notify the Control Authorities as required by permit. The NOV/OCA required OLS to cease
and desist discharging low pH wastewater, continue to implement the corrective actions
stated in its written response submitted on September 23, 2019, and update its current
SOP for its pH neutralization process. The response indicated the violation may have been
caused by stratification in neutralization tank (D203). OLS stated it is implementing
safeguards to prevent recurrence. The facility has two neutralization tanks, D203 and
D204. Only D203 has a source of low pH wastewater. OLS will perform the mixing in
Neutralization Tank D203 and then transfer it into tank D204 for additional mixing to
ensure pH stability prior to discharging it to the Brine Line. On October 16, 2019, OLS
submitted an updated SOP for neutralization process. On November 11, 2019, as required
by permit,the Permittee reported to the EPA Regional Waste Management Division that it
discharged 59 gallons of hazardous waste to the Brine Line. Implementation of the
corrective actions identified above, and follow-up sampling indicated compliance;
subsequently, the enforcement action was closed. IEUA shall continue to conduct
unannounced inspections and wastewater monitoring at OLS to ensure consistent
compliance with permit requirements and SAWPA Ordinance No. 8.

Enforcement Action
• Del Real, LLC(Permit No. D1021-3)
A Notice of Violation and Order for Corrective Action (NOV/OCA) was issued to Del Real,
LLC (Del Real) by JCSD on February 1, 2019 for pollutant limitation and temperature
exceedance violations. On January 27, 2019 Del Real LLC submitted pH and temperature
data records from the pH meter Monitoring Point 001,the permitted monitoring point,via
email as requested by JCSD staff. The pH of the industrial effluent discharged exceeded
the Local Daily Minimum Discharge Limitation of 6.0 S.U. as defined by Permit on January
3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 20, 25, and 26, 2019. Additionally,the temperature data submitted
with the pH data records indicated several temperatures as high as 186 degrees
Fahrenheit, exceeding the limit of 140 degrees Fahrenheit as stated in SAWPA Ordinance
8 Article 2 Section 201.0J. The NOV/OCA required Del Real to submit a written report by
February 18, 2019 stating the cause of the pH and temperature violations and planned
corrective actions to ensure that future pH and temperature discharges will be within the
Local Non-Domestic Wastewater Limitations Concentration Values. Permittee responded
on February 18, 2019 and attributed the pH exceedances to erroneous readings of an
unsecured probe in the Monitoring Point 001 Manhole. Del Real replaced the probe and
secured it in place in Monitoring Point 001.Additional corrective actions taken by Del Real
were to change the Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) set point from 6.5 to 8 S.U., installation
of a thermostatic mixing valve to maintain boiler blowdown temperatures within the
compliance range, and a pH dosing connection from the current DAF Caustic tank to the
DAF effluent sample box at the exit of the DAF to immediately correct pH. A compliance
inspection on August 15, 2019 confirmed installation of AF-3 automated chemical control
system which manages chemical dosing at pH tank and emergency caustic pump at the
DAF sample box. Implementation of the corrective actions identified above,follow-up site
visits, and pH compliance monitoring indicated compliance; subsequently, the
enforcement action was closed. JCSD shall continue to conduct unannounced inspections
and wastewater monitoring at Del Real to ensure consistent compliance with permit
requirements and SAWPA Ordinance No. 8.

A Notice of Violation and Order for Corrective Action and Notice of Significant
Noncompliance (NOV/OCA) was issued to Del Real, LLC (Del Real) by SAWPA on May 15,
2019 for a pollutant limitation and failure to report said violation within 24 hours of
becoming aware of the violation. Furthermore, Del Real failed to report said violation
within 45 days of the required report due date placing the facility in Significant
Noncompliance for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 2018-2019 fiscal year. On August 10,
2018 Del Real collected a wastewater sample from Monitoring Point 001. The field pH
result obtained August 10, 2018 indicated a pH result of 5.4 S.U., a violation of the pH
minimum discharge limitation of 6.0 S.U. as stated in the wastewater discharge permit.
Furthermore, this violation was not communicated to JCSD until submittal of the Self-
Monitoring Report in January 2019. The NOV/OCA required submittal of a written report
detailing why the pH violation was not reported as required and what corrective action
would be taken to ensure future violations of this nature do not occur again by May 29,
2019. The permittee responded requesting an extension of the deadline until June 3,2019,
which was granted. The permittee provided the report on June 3, 2019. The report
identified the cause of the reporting violation as a failure of staff to properly identify the
violation and therefore reporting was not made as required. The permittee will ensure
proper personnel are present during laboratory field analyses and the contract laboratory
will be directly notifying personnel should any further violations be identified so that
notification can be made as required. Implementation of the corrective actions identified
above, and follow-up sampling indicated compliance; subsequently, the enforcement
action was closed. JCSD shall continue to conduct unannounced inspections and

3.2.10 Yucaipa Valley Water District (YVWD)
Description of YVWD
YVWD is a Water District responsible for the implementation of certain pretreatment
program activities for the industries connected to the Brine Line within its service area.
YVWD was formed on September 14, 1971, when the Secretary of State of the State of
California certified and declared formation of the District. The District operates under the
County Water District Law, being Division 12 of the State of California Water Code.
Although the immediate function of the District at the time was to provide water service,
the YVWD currently provides a variety of services to residential, commercial and industrial
customers. The YVWD provides sewer collection and sewer treatment services. Sewer
treatment takes place at the highly advanced Wochholz Regional Water Recycling Facility
that provides advanced treatment, including the capability to demineralize the recycled
water. In 2012, the YVWD completed an extension of the Inland Empire Brine Line
operated by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority. The brine disposal facility is
critical to ensure the YVWD meets the stringent water quality objectives set by the
Regional Water Quality Control Board for the Yucaipa Management Zone, Beaumont
Management Zone and the San Timoteo Management Zone.
Although YVWD currently has no permitted industries discharging to the Brine Line they
have participated in Brine Line activities, including training conducted by SAWPA
personnel, since 2013. They conduct the industrial user survey upstream of the Henry
Wochholz Regional Water Recycling Facility that began discharge to the Brine Line in July
of 2016, in accordance with SAWPA policies and procedures. The Henry Wochholz
Regional Water Recycling Facility service area includes three industrial permittees:
Enforcement Action
There was no enforcement action during this reporting period.
3.3 Permittees in Significant Noncompliance (SNC)
At the end of each quarter, EPA requires the evaluation of each IU's compliance status using a six-
month period. Each IU is evaluated for SNC four times during the year, and the total evaluation
period covers 15 months (beginning with the last quarter of the previous pretreatment year
through the end of the current year).
As of December 31, 2019, of the active seventy-two (72) Permittees, there were no permittees
classified as SNC. An industry was determined to be in SNC if it incurred a violation that met one
or more of the criteria listed below as provided in 40 CFR, Part 403.
• Chronic violations of wastewater discharge limits are defined as those in which 66% or
more of all measurements for the same pollutant taken during a consecutive six-month
period exceed (by any magnitude) a numeric pretreatment standard or requirement
including instantaneous limits as defined by 40 CFR 403.3(I).
3-10
• Technical review criteria (TRC) violation are defined as those in which 33% or more of all
measurements taken for the same pollutant during a consecutive six-month period equal
or exceeds the product of the numeric pretreatment standard or requirement including
instantaneous limits, as defined by 40 CFR 403.3(I) multiplied by the applicable TRC
(TRC=1.4 for BOD,TSS, fats, oil and grease, and 1.2 for all other pollutants except pH).
• Any other violation of a pretreatment standard or requirement (daily maximum or long
term average, instantaneous limit or narrative standard) that has caused, alone or in
combination with other discharges, interference or pass through (including endangering
the health of POTW or SAWPA personnel or the general public).
• Any discharge of a pollutant that has caused imminent endangerment to human health,
welfare,or the environment; or has resulted in POTW's or SAWPA's exercise of emergency
authority to halt or prevent such a discharger.
• Failure to meet within 90 days after the scheduled date, a compliance schedule milestone
contained in a local control mechanism or enforcement order, for starting construction,
completing construction, or for attaining final compliance.
• Failure to provide, within 45 days of the due date, any required reports such a baseline
monitoring reports, 90-day compliance reports, periodic self-monitoring reports, and
reports with compliance schedules.
• Failure to pay, within 30 days, all applicable user application, permit and enforcement
penalty fees.
• Failure to accurately report noncompliance.
• Any other violation or group of violations, which may include a violation of Best
Management Practices, which the POTW or SAWPA believes will adversely affect the
operation or implementation of the SAWPA's pretreatment program, or the Brine Line or
tributaries thereto.
A summary of Permittees in SNC is presented in Table 3.1.

3.4 Future Projects that will Affect Quantity of Discharge to the Brine Line System
California Institution for Women (CIW) which is primarily domestic (reclaimable)
wastewater will be diverted to the Pine Avenue Sewer,away from the Brine Line. Diversion
of the CIW wastewater to the Pine Avenue Sewer away from the Brine Line is anticipated
3-11
for Fiscal Year 2020/2021.
City of Beaumont is actively exploring alternatives and developing plans to upgrade the
City's existing wastewater treatment plant. These plans include a salinity management
strategy to comply with basin plan objectives set by the Regional Water Quality Control
Board for the Beaumont and San Timoteo Groundwater Management Zones. These
proposed improvements are contingent on the ability to tie the discharge from the
proposed treatment plant upgrade to the Brine Line for brine conveyance. The City of
Beaumont is not within the Brine Line Service Area, so therefore requires authorization
from OCSD General Manager prior to discharge. The City of Beaumont submitted an
official request to discharge to the Brine Line in late 2016. SAWPA requested additional
information before submitting to OCSD a request for authorization for the discharge from
the City of Beaumont to the Brine Line from OCSD in early 2017. Following resolution of
requirements given to SAWPA and the City of Beaumont by OCSD authorization for
connection to the Brine Line is anticipated for early January 2020.
Rialto Bioenergy is a food waste-to-energy facility in Rialto, California, which has
submitted a wastewater discharge permit application to SAWPA and Valley District. The
facility is expected to come online and begin discharge to the Brine Line in mid-2020
following issuance of a wastewater discharge permit.
3.5 SAWPA Special Projects
SAWPA conducted the following Special Project efforts during the reporting period:
1. Right of way (ROW) maintenance including road grading and vegetation
removal for Reach 4A Lower and Reach 4B Lower.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT:
COMPLETE FIELD INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION SOLUTION
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Award a Professional Services Agreement to Beamex, Inc. to provide Instrumentation Data
Management Services, Specification No. CS-2020-1102, for a total amount not to exceed
$257,714;
B. Award a sole source purchase order for the purchase of instrumentation hardware in an
amount not to exceed $259,124; and
C. Approve a contingency in the amount of$77,525 (15%) for both procurements.
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) uses electronic field instruments to
measure flow, level, temperature, pressure, and other analytical data (pH, turbidity, conductivity,
nitrate, etc.) throughout different process areas. These instruments must be regularly inspected,
calibrated, and maintained to ensure accurate monitoring of our operations. Staff is recommending
implementation of a complete solution for the collection and reporting of instrumentation data for
calibration, maintenance, and inspection activities performed on treatment plant equipment, in
accordance with regulatory and reliability requirements. The Software and Professional Services
contract was competitively bid and Beamex, Inc. was the only responsive and responsible bidder to
respond.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure the public's money is wisely spent
• Maintain a culture of improving efficiency to reduce the cost to provide the current service level
or standard
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Maintain a proactive asset management program

File #: 2020-1117 Agenda Date: 6/24/2020 Agenda Item No: 11.
PROBLEM
The current instrument calibration process is manual with significant areas of inefficiencies.
Sanitation District process and field tools do not efficiently utilize the technicians "wrench-time." Each
field tool serves a single purpose of measurement. These measured readings are hand transcribed
on paper and later manually uploaded to the Computer Maintenance Management System. Data
extrapolation for preventive maintenance optimization and root cause analysis absorb multiple
resources to effect improvement towards asset management. In addition, beneficial occupancy for
projects are time consuming by not having an efficient process to compile project instrumentation
data.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Purchase software and hardware to automate the calibration process workflow from data collection to
analysis and establish a standard methodology for calibration across both Plants.
TIMING CONCERNS
N/A
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
A decision not to purchase the Beamex instrument calibration solution and related professional
services would result in the continued use of manual unverified calibration strategies.

11. Indemnification and Hold Harmless Provision Consultant shall assume responsibility for
damages to property and/or injuries to persons, including accidental death, regardless of
whether such damage or injury shall accrue or be discovered before or after the termination
of the Agreement, but only to the extent such damage, injury or death is caused by
Consultant's (or by Consultant's subconsultant(s)or by anyone directly or indirectly employed
by Consultant)willful misconduct or negligence in the performance of the Agreement. Except
as to the negligence of or willful misconduct of OCSD, Consultant shall indemnify, protect,
defend and hold harmless OCSD, its elected and appointed officials, officers, agents and
employees, from and against any and all liabilities, damages or expenses of any nature,
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from claims presented or brought against
OCSD: (a) for injury to or death of any person or damage to property or interference with the
use of property, but only to the extent caused by Consultant's willful misconduct or negligence
in the performance of this Agreement, and/or (b) on account of claims that Consultant's
deliverables to OCSD violate third party intellectual property rights. Unless otherwise provided
herein, this indemnification provision shall apply to any acts or omissions, willful misconduct,
or negligent misconduct, whether active or passive, on the part of Consultant or anyone
employed by or working under Consultant. To the maximum extent permitted by law,
Consultant's duty to defend shall apply whether or not such claims, allegations, lawsuits, or
proceedings have merit or are meritless, or which involve claims or allegations that any of the
parties to be defended were actively, passively, or concurrently negligent, or which otherwise
assert that the parties to be defended are responsible, in whole or in part, for any loss,
damage, or injury. Consultant agrees to provide this defense immediately upon written notice
from OCSD, and with well qualified, adequately insured, and experienced legal counsel
acceptable to OCSD. This section shall survive the expiration or early termination of the
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 18 (Infringement) of this Agreement relates
to third party intellectual property infringement claims only.
12. Force Maieure Neither party shall be liable for delays caused by accident, flood, acts of
God, fire, labor trouble, war, acts of government or any other cause beyond its control, but
said party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the extent of the delay. Work affected by
a Force Majeure condition may be rescheduled by mutual consent or may be eliminated from
the Agreement.
13. Insurance Consultant and all subconsultant(s) shall purchase and maintain, throughout the
life of this Agreement and any periods of warranty or extensions, insurance in amounts equal
to the requirements set forth in Exhibit "C" Acknowledgement of Insurance Requirements.
Consultant shall not commence work under this Agreement until all required insurance is
obtained in a form acceptable to OCSD, nor shall Consultant allow any subconsultant to
Orange County Sanitation District 5 of 13 Specification No. CS-2020-1102
080919
commence service pursuant to a subcontract until all insurance required of the subconsultant
has been obtained. Failure to maintain required insurance coverage shall result in termination
of this Agreement.
14. Key Personnel Personnel, as provided in Exhibit "B", are considered "key" to the work under
this Agreement and will be available for the term of the Agreement. No person designated as
key under this Agreement shall be removed or replaced without prior written consent of
OCSD. If OCSD asks Consultant to remove a person designated as key under this
Agreement, Consultant agrees to do so immediately regardless of the reason, or the lack of
reason, for OCSD's request. Consultant shall assign only competent personnel to perform
services pursuant to this Agreement.
15. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
15.1 Consultant acknowledges that in performing the Services hereunder, OCSD may have to
disclose to Consultant orally and in writing certain confidential information that OCSD

• To restrict access to the confidential information to its subconsultant(s) or personnel of
subconsultant(s) who (1) have a need to have such access and (2) have been advised
of and have agreed in writing to treat such information in accordance with the terms of

provided herein or agreed between the Parties. OCSD is granted a non-exclusive license to
use Consultants intellectual property rights in its internal operations, to the extent they are
embedded or incorporated in the Services, software or other materials or deliverables

property ownership rights of the software shall remain the property of Consultant or the
applicable third party owner and OCSD receives a license to use the software in accordance

Notwithstanding the foregoing, intellectual property rights relating to new deliverables or
materials created by Consultant solely to OCSD's specifications (hereinafter referred to as
"New Developments") shall belong exclusively and transfer to OCSD upon payment. For the
avoidance of doubt, (1) products, software or other deliverables, which Consultant has

request, Consultant agrees to assist OCSD, at OCSD's expense, to obtain patents or
copyrights for such New Developments, including the disclosure of all pertinent information

and all other instruments and papers which OCSD shall deem necessary to apply for and to
assign or convey to OCSD, its successors and assigns, the sole and exclusive right, title and
interest in such New Developments. Consultant agrees to obtain or has obtained written
assurances from its employees and contract personnel of their agreement to the terms hereof
with regard to New Developments and confidential information.
17.3 Consultant warrants that Consultant has good title to any New Developments, and the right
to assign New Developments to OCSD free of any proprietary rights of any other party or any
other encumbrance whatever.

photographs, videotapes, data, computer files, and other documents prepared or caused to
be prepared by Consultant or its subconsultants in connection with these Services shall be
delivered to and shall become the exclusive property of OCSD. OCSD may utilize these
documents for OCSD applications on other projects or extensions of this project, at its own
risk.
18. Infringement Claims If an infringement claim occurs, Consultant has thirty (30) days after
the receipt of OCSD's written notice of the claim or the date on which Consultant first becomes
aware of the claim, whichever is sooner, to either: (a) procure for OCSD the right to continue
using the affected product, service, subsystem, component or interface and deliver or provide
the product, service, subsystem, component, or interface to OCSD; or (b) repair or replace
the infringing product, service, subsystem, component, or interface so that it becomes non-
infringing, provided the performance of the system or any subsystems, components, or
interfaces is not adversely affected by the replacement or modification. In the event
Consultant is unable to comply with either subsection (a) or (b) of this paragraph within thirty
Orange County Sanitation District 7 of 13 Specification No. CS-2020-1102
080919
(30) days, OCSD may terminate this Agreement without any further obligation to Consultant.

Consultant will refund OCSD within ten (10) days of OCSD's notice of termination, the license
fees OCSD paid to Consultant for the product, service, subsystem, component or interface. If
the inability to comply with either subsection (a) or (b) of this paragraph causes the system to
fail to meet the functional, performance and reliability specifications and requirements or to
otherwise become ineffective, Consultant will refund OCSD all fees paid to Consultant under
this Agreement.
19. No Solicitation of Employees or Subcontractors
19.1 Consultant agrees that it shall not, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one
(1)year immediately following termination of this Agreement, or any extension hereof, call on,

for any claims, losses, costs, fees, liabilities, damages or penalties suffered by OCSD arising
out of Consultant's breach of this provision.
20.6 Consultant shall not be eligible to join or participate in any benefit plans offered to those

SUBJECT:
GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020-21
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 20-02, entitled: "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange
County Sanitation District Establishing the Annual Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2020-21 for the
District in accordance with the Provisions of Division 9 of Title 1 of the California Government Code".
BACKGROUND
This routine annual action adopts a resolution establishing the spending limit for "proceeds of taxes"
in accordance with Article XIII B of the Constitution of the State of California (Section 7910 of the
Government Code). The Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) annual
appropriations are well below the limit.
In 1979, Proposition 4 (the Gann Initiative) was approved adding Article XIII B to the State
Constitution. The provisions of this article place limits on the amount of revenue that can be
appropriated by all entities of government. This initiative was designed to constrain government
expenditures by placing an annual limit on jurisdictions' revenue and appropriation growth. The
Appropriation Limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-1979 fiscal year, as increased
each year using specified population and inflationary growth factors. This annual allowance growth is
linked to changes in population and cost of living. The passage of Proposition 111 in June 1990
amended Article XIIIB, making changes in the base year upon which the appropriations limit is based,
establishing new cost of living factors and new population factors for use by local governments, and
increasing appropriations not subject to the limit (primarily qualified capital outlay projects). The
financial constraints of Article XIII B apply to the State, all cities, counties, special districts, and all
other political subdivisions.

THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR
2020-21 FOR THE DISTRICT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF DIVISION 9 OF TITLE 1 OF THE
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE
WHEREAS, Article XIII B of the Constitution of the State of California as
proposed by the Initiative Measure approved by the people at the special statewide
election held on November 6, 1979, provides that the total annual appropriations limit of
each local government agency shall not exceed the appropriations limit of such entity for
the prior year, adjusted for changes in the cost of living and population, except as
otherwise specifically provided for in said Article; and,
WHEREAS, the State Legislature added Division 9 (commencing with Section
7900) to Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California to implement Article
XIII B of the California Constitution; and,
WHEREAS, Section 7910 of the Government Code provides that each year the
governing body of each local jurisdiction shall, by resolution, establish its appropriations
limit for the following fiscal year pursuant to Article XIII B at a regularly-scheduled meeting
or a noticed special meeting and that fifteen (15) days prior to such meeting,
documentation used in the determination of the appropriations limit shall be available to
the public; and,
WHEREAS, Section 7902 (a) of the Government Code sets forth the method for
determining the appropriations limit for each local jurisdiction for the 2020-21 fiscal year;
and,
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors wishes to establish the appropriations limit
for fiscal year 2020-21 for the District.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation
District DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER:
Section 1: That it is hereby found and determined that the documentation used
in the determination of the appropriations limit for the Orange County Sanitation District,
for fiscal year 2020-21, was available to the public in the Finance Department of said
District at least fifteen (15) days prior to this date.
OCSD 20-02-1
Section 2: That the appropriations limit for fiscal year 2020-21 for the Orange
County Sanitation District, as established in accordance with Section 7902(b) of the
California Government Code is $118,695,799 which sum is within the maximum
authorized spending limitation for fiscal year 2020-21.
Section 3: That the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District,
has determined that the percent change in California per capita personal income from the
preceding year would be the cost of living factor to be used and the weighted average
population change of the cities within the District would be the population factor to be
used in calculating the Orange County Sanitation District's appropriations limit for the
Fiscal Year 2020-21.
Section 4: The determination of the appropriation limit is based upon the best
and most complete information available at this time. The District reserves the right to
review and re-establish a new and different limit in the event that it subsequently
determines that a modification of the limitation amount is appropriate.

FY 2020-21 USE CHARGES FOR SANTA ANA WATERSHED PROJECT AUTHORITY
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 20-03, entitled: "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange
County Sanitation District Establishing Use Charges for the 2020-21 Fiscal Year Pursuant to the
Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Agreement with the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority
("SAWPA")".
BACKGROUND
Currently, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) invoices Santa Ana Watershed
Project Authority (SAWPA) on a quarterly basis for the wastewater discharge received from the SARI
line. Annually, the rates for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and total suspended solids
(TSS) are calculated based upon the fiscal year budget for treatment and disposal costs and the
1996 Wastewater Treatment and Disposal agreement. The rates calculated for each constituent for
FY 2020-21 for wastewater discharge are:
FLOW $213.30
BOD $304.47
TSS $449.36
The FY 2020-21 rates result in approximately a 3.5% decrease in the Flow rate, a 4.7% decrease in
the BOD rate, and a 4.7% decrease in the TSS rate. Using the 2017 Rate Study, the Sanitation
District determined discharge rates for SAWPA. Changes to the allocation parameters between
discharge constituents and the change in equivalent usage per EDU for each constituent resulted in
rate increases that were larger than SAWPA anticipated or budgeted. SAWPA requested that the
Sanitation District spread their rate increases over a two-year period to minimize the impact to their
budget. SAWPA rates have now caught up with the original rate model. As a result, the FY 2020-21
rates decrease approximately 3.5% for the Flow rate, 4.7% for the BOD rate, and 4.7% for the TSS
rate. These rates are separate from the rates charged for additional capacity purchases by SAWPA.

TRIPLE QUADRUPOLE MASS SPECTROMETER (TAMS)
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a purchase order to VWR for a Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (TAMS) System in
the amount of $277,228.34 (including the TQMS system, freight, sales tax, and two (2) year extended
warranty) in accordance with Ordinance No. OCSD-52, Section 2.03(B): Cooperative Procurement;
(NASPO Value Point Master Agreement No. MA16000234-2 created by the State of Idaho which
California (CA) agencies may utilize (CA Participating Addendum No. 7-16-99-26-01)).
BACKGROUND
The Triple Quadrupole Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (TAMS) system is needed to
analyze fish tissue and sediment samples for the ocean monitoring program as required by the
Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) Ocean Discharge Permit, Southern California
Bight Regional Monitoring Survey, and various special projects. This purchase request is to replace
a Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer system that has exceeded its service life.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure the public's money is wisely spent
• Comply with environmental permit requirements
• Maintain a culture of improving efficiency to reduce the cost to provide the current service level
or standard
• Cultivate a highly qualified, well-trained, and diverse workforce
PROBLEM
This request is to replace an 11-year old analytical instrument that has exceeded the manufacturer-
recommended serviceable life of 7-10 years. Instrument breakdown has increased due to age and
sample turnaround time has consequently increased due to the need to repeat analysis. In
combination, these occurrences have increased the Sanitation District's expenditure on staff time,
replacements parts, and repair services. Purchasing the updated TAMS system will equip the

Sanitation District with a more reliable system that uses current technology and provides enhanced
instrument capabilities to better support regulatory compliance.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award a purchase order to VWR for the Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (TAMS) System in the
amount of $277,228.34 to replace the current system.
TIMING CONCERNS
Potential cost and down time may increase if the current system is not replaced in a timely manner.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Loss of compliance for the analysis of PCBs/pesticides in support of the core monitoring samples as
required by the NPDES permit.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The National Association of State Procurement Officers (NASPO, formerly WSCA-NASPO)
agreements are available to all State of California governmental entities (e.g. state agencies, cities,
counties, special districts, school districts, universities) that expend public funds for the acquisition of
both goods and services.
The State of California purchases a wide variety of goods and services ranging from pencils to
temporary labor under these agreements. Annual purchases total nearly $10 billion. The
Procurement Division is the central purchasing authority for all State departments and local
government agencies. With a massive marketplace and billions of dollars in purchasing power they
can offer a lower procurement cost to California's state, county, city, special districts, education and
other government entities through their Leveraged Procurement Agreements. Leveraged
Procurement Agreements allow entities/agencies to buy directly from suppliers through existing
contracts and agreements. One of these that the state offers to California governmental agencies is
the National Association of State Procurement Officers for Commodities, IT Goods & Services, and
Telecommunication Goods and Services.

2020-21 PROPERTY - LIABILITY INSURANCE RENEWALS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Orange County Sanitation District FY 2020-21 Property-Liability Insurance Renewals for
the not-to-exceed amounts specified below:
Property and Boiler & Machinery - Not to Exceed $ 1,151,935
Excess General Liability Insurance - Not to Exceed $ 745,336
Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance - Not to Exceed $ 207,000
Earthquake Insurance - Not to Exceed $ 100,000
TOTAL $ 2,204,271
BACKGROUND
Financial Management staff and the Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District)
operational insurance broker, Alliant, began the renewal process in January and received final quotes
in June. After negotiating with the insurance carriers, Alliant was able to secure competitive rates for
the Sanitation District without compromising the quality of coverage provided. The insurance market
has been in a state of flux due to COVID-19 and events around the world and in the state of
California. There is a lot of uncertainty in the market and insurers have taken losses for previous
years and, as a result, insurance costs will increase to absorb the losses.
There are key differences over expiring coverages - the historic $1 billion All Risk Limit and extensive
flood limits previously provided are not sustainable. Such flood limits are worth millions of dollars in
the market currently, as flood is viewed as a catastrophic exposure, in the same vein that the
earthquake peril is viewed. The coverage can be bought, but the costs are extremely high, as
available capacity in the market is going to the highest bidder, especially with what is expected to be
an above average hurricane season for 2020.
The extreme uncertainty in the market is due mainly to COVID-19 and its impacts. As such, the
Sanitation District cannot realistically obtain the same coverage limits, especially on flood, and if
attempting to obtain comparable, it would be a 500% increase. The extreme degree of uncertainty
Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 4 Printed on 6/17/2020

File #: 2020-1121 Agenda Date: 6/24/2020 Agenda Item No: 15.
that COVID-19 introduced in the insurance industry, means extreme rate hikes, at least in the short
term until the numbers play out for the insurance industry over the next few years.
The cost of insurance coverage for Fiscal Year is $2,204,271, an increase of$579,209 (36%).
The Sanitation District's budget provides funds for the renewal of the following four (4) major
insurances for Sanitation District operations:
1) All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance (Includes Boiler & Machinery)
The All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance Program (Property Insurance) provides
comprehensive coverage for much of the Sanitation District's real and personal property and
business interruption from all perils not excluded, including fire and flood. The most significant
peril excluded is earthquake, as is the peril of pandemic.
To obtain property insurance, the Sanitation District participates in the Alliant Public Entity
Property Insurance Program, a group purchase insurance program with thousands of public
entity participants. In operation since the `90s, the program provides extreme buying power
for public agencies with a breadth of coverage not found in the open commercial insurance
market. For OCSD, current Property Insurance limits are $1 billion dollars for most perils other
than flood, and a $150MM flood limit for buildings located in Zones A&V and $300 million
dollars for buildings in all other flood zones. Generous sub-limits for various situations are
provided for as standard offerings. Earthquake coverage is purchased separately for specific
buildings.
In order to provide a complete set of coverage with a maximum of $1 billion dollars in limits,
the Program utilizes the global insurance marketplace with 20 different insurers taking a
different degree of risk in a layered and quota-share structure. See list of current carriers
attached. The SIR is $500,000 per occurrence for most types of losses. Given the overall
extreme tightening in the insurance market, it is believed that in order to keep the price of
coverage somewhat comparable to the expiring at the same retention that the final limit of
coverage for the Program will drop from $1 Billion to $500 Million. Given the value,
construction type, and spread of the facilities relative to the expected cost to keep the limit at
$1 Billion, it is believed that the $500 million limit would be sufficient for a worst case scenario
for coverages provided in the program, primarily, fire.
The Boiler & Machinery Insurance Program, part of the property insurance, provides
comprehensive coverage for loss caused by machinery breakdown and explosion of steam
boilers or other covered process equipment, including damage to the equipment itself and
damage to other property caused by covered accidents. The current Boiler & Machinery
Insurance Program provides coverage of $100 million dollars per occurrence with deductibles
ranging from $25,000 to $350,000 for losses caused by covered machinery breakdown (e.g.,
motors, steam turbines, digesters, co-gen engines). Damages to the equipment, as well as
damages to other property and improvements caused by the machinery breakdown, are
covered by the Boiler & Machinery Insurance. This program augments the Sanitation District's
All-Risk Property Insurance that covers perils such as fire and flood.
The estimated increase cost for All-Risk Property and Flood is $1,151,935, an increase of
$346,591 (43%).

2) Excess General Liability Insurance
The Sanitation District's Excess General Liability Insurance Program is currently provided
through the Alliant National Municipal Liability Program (ANML) . The Sanitation District has
participated in the ANML, and its predecessor namesake, the California Municipal Excess
Liability Program (CAMEL), since FY 1996-97.
This program currently provides the Sanitation District with a $40 million dollar limit of
comprehensive coverage for municipal liability, bodily injury and property damage, and
personal injury. The program was structured to also include Employment Practices and Public
Officials Errors & Omissions coverage. The $40 million dollar coverage has a self-insured
deductible of $500,000. Since 1997, the Employment Practices portion of coverage has been
enhanced from a $2 million dollar sub-limit to the full policy limit of $40 million dollars.
The limits are provided by three carriers in a layered structure, Security National, Berkley
National and Great American. See the attached Insurance Summary May 2020 list of carriers
that our broker is currently engaged with in the renewal marketing process.
The estimated cost for Excess General Liability is $745,356, an increase of $229,965 (45%).
3) Excess Workers' Compensation
The Excess Workers' Compensation insurance coverage is with the California State
Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC EIA). The Sanitation District has
participated in this program or its predecessor since 2003. The Excess Workers'
Compensation program currently provides "Statutory" (unlimited) coverage with a self-insured
retention (SIR), or deductible, of $1 million. The use of Excess Workers' Compensation
Insurance dates back to the late 1980's.
The estimated cost for Excess Workers' Compensation is $207,000, a decrease of $10,762
(5%).
4) Earthquake Insurance
The Sanitation District purchases a separate earthquake policy with limits of $25MM on
specific buildings valued at -r$160MM deemed to be important to the operations of the District.
The goal of the purchase is to provide limited cover for the peril of earthquake in a manner that
is relatively inexpensive so as to not put an excessive burden on the budget. From time to
time, usually annually, OCSD considers adding structures to the earthquake insurance
schedule.
The estimated cost Earthquake insurance is $100,000, an increase of $13,415 (15%).

SUBJECT: FY 2020-21 Property — Liability Insurance Program
At the March Administration Committee and April Board meeting, staff and the Sanitation
District's operational insurance broker presented information on OCSD's insurance
program. The Committee requested that additional information, specifically regarding
retention, and the CSRMA and PRISM (EIA) programs and how they might be appropriate
for OCSD. Staff and our broker, Alliant, will provide a comprehensive presentation at the
June Administration Committee meeting.
Retention
Retention refers to the amount of money an insured person or business is initially
responsible for in the event of a claim. Also called a "Self-Insured Retention", or "SIR", it is
akin to a deductible and premium tends to go down, as retentions go up.
Annually, as part of the renewal process, our insurance broker advises staff on various
options regarding retention levels. Last year, we did receive an alternative option at
$1 million retention for Property insurance (see table below). However, it was determined
that the current structure (carriers/layout) of the program was most competitive based on
what has historically been important to the District. The premium savings that would be
achieved by doubling the retention to $1 million level was deemed not material relative to
the increase in risk. Our broker has stated that an increase to $1 million would likely yield
similar results in 2020.

2020 Property - Options at Varying Retentions
After a review of the Program and its limits, we have determined that the historic $1 billion
All Risk (AR) Limit is no longer sustainable. Flood is now viewed as a catastrophic
exposure, in the same vein that the earthquake peril is viewed. The extensive flood limits
previously provided are not sustainable. Although such limits can still be obtained as shown
in Option 1, maintaining these limits would increase current premiums fivefold.

California Sanitation Risk Management Authority (CSRMA)
The California Sanitation Risk Management Authority (CSRMA) provides broad coverage
and risk management services to its members. Functioning as a Joint Powers Authority,
CSRMA provides various services, including Pooled Liability, Primary Insurance, Property
Insurance, Workers' Compensation, and Ancillary Coverages.
FY 2020-21 Property— Liability Insurance Program
May 20, 2020
Page 3
Based on these broad services, the Administration Committee requested staff research
CSRMA's program to understanding the application process and to determine if they would
be a cost-effective option for the Sanitation District.
CSRMA does not have written criteria for acceptance of new members, but rather is "open"
and wants to be welcoming to all special districts that have wastewater operations in the
State. Instead, their process is to have a Committee review application and determine
eligibility based on loss history and whether they would be a net positive or net negative to
the group based on that history.
There is an application fee to cover the initial cost of underwriting a new member, however,
it would be waived for OCSD. There is a member application. This has been completed by
staff and Alliant based on information on file.
To provide more detail on what CSRMA programs may be of assistance to OCSD, they have
three main insurance programs, Property, Liability and Workers' Comp:
A. Property— CSRMA participates in the same Property Insurance Program that OCSD
does, Alliant's Public Entity Program (APIP). We have a higher retention at $500K
than the average CSRMA member, and although we are checking, it is unlikely that
OCSD would see a benefit by participating in APIP through CSRMA when it currently
participates directly.
B. Workers' Compensation — The CSRMA Workers' Compensation program is a
primary program, meaning members have no deductible. As such, it is not a good fit
for OCSD as it carries $1 million retention. Premium in CSRMA's program therefore
would be much higher, and the process involving administering claims would be
much different, likely in a way that would be unacceptable to OCSD. (Claims control).
C. Liability — We are pursuing an option here whereby OCSD could join CSRMA's
"Pooled Liability Program". The mechanics of this likely would need to be different
than for the average CSRMA member, as OCSD is significantly larger, and both
parties would likely be better off not sharing losses with one another in the typical
formula that governs the member cost relationship. Rather, it was believed that an
arrangement where the parties group purchases excess insurance could provide a
benefit to both, so this was pursued.
There may be opportunities where both CSRMA and OCSD would benefit in a closer
relationship in the area of Safety and Loss Control. Both entities have highly developed
safety and loss control programs, so a closer relationship in this area would likely sharpen
both programs.
Attached is the response from CSRMA regarding OCSD's inquiry regarding membership
and rates. Based on staff research and the attached response from CSRMA, it does not
appear that CSRMA is a good option for OCSD for any lines of coverage at this point in time,
FY 2020-21 Property— Liability Insurance Program
May 20, 2020
Page 4
although it may behoove us to keep lines of communication open with CSRMA for possible
future opportunities.
Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM)
Additionally, the Administration Committee, requested that staff research Public Risk
Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM) (formerly known as (CSAC EIA). PRISM
is a member directed risk sharing pool.
In 1979, 29 California counties formed CSAC Excess Insurance Authority, a Joint Powers
Authority, pursuant to Article 1, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1, of the California Government
Code (Section 6500 et seq.). The sole purpose of this new JPA was to find cost-effective
insurance solutions and risk management services for members.
In 2020, the EIA became Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management. PRISM's
successful approach to insurance has been noticed across the state of California.
Membership has expanded to include 95% of counties, 70% of cities, as well as educational
organizations, special districts, housing authorities, fire districts, and 27 other Joint Powers
Authorities. In 2019, the Board of Directors approved expanding outside of California.
OCSD has long participated in its Excess Workers' Compensation Program. Staff has
received feedback from PRISM regarding OCSD's potential participation in their Property
and Excess Liability Programs (see the attached letter).
Based on OCSD's size, staff research and the attached letter from PRISM, it appears
OCSD's inclusion into PRISM at this time does not work financially, and again, it may
behoove us to keep lines of communication open with PRISM for possible future
opportunities.
Status/Description of OCSD Current Program
The Sanitation District's budget provides funds for the renewal of the following four(4) major
insurances for Sanitation District operations:
1) Excess General Liability Insurance
The Sanitation District's Excess General Liability Insurance Program is currently
provided through the Alliant National Municipal Liability Program (ANML). The
Sanitation District has participated in the ANML, and its predecessor namesake, the
California Municipal Excess Liability Program (CAMEL), since FY 1996-97.
This program currently provides the Sanitation District with a $40 million limit of
comprehensive coverage for municipal liability, bodily injury and property damage,
and personal injury. The program was structured to also include Employment
Practices and Public Officials Errors & Omissions coverage. The $40 million
coverage has a self-insured deductible of $500,000. Since 1997, the Employment
FY 2020-21 Property— Liability Insurance Program

Practices portion of coverage has been enhanced from a $2 million sub-limit to the
full policy limit of$40 million.
The limits are provided by three carriers in a layered structure, Security National,
Berkley National and Great American. See attached list of carriers that our broker is
currently engaged with in the renewal marketing process.
2) Excess Workers' Compensation
The Excess Workers' Compensation insurance coverage is with the California
State Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC EIA). The
Sanitation District has participated in this program or its predecessor since
2003. The Excess Workers' Compensation program currently provides
"Statutory" (unlimited) coverage with a self-insured retention (SIR), or
deductible, of $1 million. The use of Excess Workers' Compensation
Insurance dates back to the late 1980's.
3) All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance (Includes Boiler & Machinery
Insurance)
The All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance Program (Property Insurance)
provides comprehensive coverage for much of the Sanitation District's real
and personal property and business interruption from all perils not excluded,
including fire and flood. The most significant peril excluded is earthquake, as
is the peril of pandemic.
To obtain property insurance, the District participates in the Alliant Public
Entity Property Insurance Program, a group purchase insurance program with
thousands of public entity participants. In operation since the `90s, the
program provides extreme buying power for public agencies with a breadth of
coverage not found in the open commercial insurance market.
For OCSD, current Property Insurance limits are $1 billion for most perils other
than flood, and a $150 million flood limit for buildings located in Zones A&V
and $300 million for buildings in all other flood zones. Generous sub-limits for
various situations are provided for as standard offerings. Earthquake
coverage is purchased separately for specific buildings.
In order to provide a complete set of coverage with a maximum of$1 billion in
limits, the Program utilizes the global insurance marketplace with 20 different
insurers taking a different degree of risk in a layered and quota-share
structure. See list of current carriers attached. The SIR is $500,000 per
occurrence for most types of losses. Given the overall extreme tightening in
the insurance market, it is believed that in order to keep the price of coverage
somewhat comparable to the expiring at the same retention that the final limit
of coverage for the Program will drop from $1 billion to $500 million. Given
the value, construction type, and spread of the facilities relative to the
expected cost to keep the limit at $1 billion, it is believed that the $500 million
FY 2020-21 Property— Liability Insurance Program

limit would be sufficient for a worst case scenario for coverages provided in
the program, primarily, fire.
The Boiler & Machinery Insurance Program, part of the property insurance,
provides comprehensive coverage for loss caused by machinery breakdown
and explosion of steam boilers or other covered process equipment, including
damage to the equipment itself and damage to other property caused by
covered accidents. The current Boiler & Machinery Insurance Program
provides coverage of $100 million per occurrence with deductibles ranging
from $25,000 to $350,000 for losses caused by covered machinery breakdown
(e.g., motors, steam turbines, digesters, co-gen engines). Damages to the
equipment, as well as damages to other property and improvements caused
by the machinery breakdown, are covered by the Boiler & Machinery
Insurance. This program augments the Sanitation District's All-Risk Property
Insurance that covers perils such as fire and flood.
4) Earthquake Insurance
The District purchases a separate earthquake policy with limits of $25 million
on specific buildings valued at approximately $160 million deemed to be
important to the operations of the District. The goal of the purchase is to
provide limited cover for the peril of earthquake in a manner that is relatively
inexpensive and does not place an excessive burden on the budget. From
time to time, usually annually, the District considers adding structures to the
earthquake insurance schedule.

Participation in CSRMA Programs
Dear John:
We are pleased to learn of the District's interest in CSRMA coverage programs and appreciate your
providing us with enough information about the District to make informed sense about potential
participation. CSRMA, a joint powers authority (JPA), was formed in the late 1980's to use risk
pooling and group purchase strategies to serve the insurance and risk management needs of the
California sanitation industry. Over the years, we have developed coverage offerings that have
worked very well for our 58 member agencies. We are dedicated to our members, and are
effectively owned collectively by them. Accordingly, we welcome the participation of eligible
agencies in the JPA,which of course, OCSD has always been one.
A review of the material supplied reveals that OCSD is quite a bit larger than our average member,
and almost double the size of our single largest member, using our standard metrics. This size
disparity presents unique issues for participation in CSRMA programs based both on whether cover
can be offered at price points that are attractive relative to what the District currently obtains in the
commercial market, and whether the risk sharing formulas in CSRMA's pooling programs would
remain equitable to OCSD and the rest of the membership given the size disparity. The impact of
these topics will become evident as we work through our cost estimates for participation in each of
CSRMA's three key programs, below.
Workers Compensation
CSRMA's workers' compensation program is structured without a deductible (retention) for the
members. This allows members to transfer 100% of their workers' compensation risk to the pool
and obtain uniform, high quality claims administration service that is attuned to the needs of the
membership. It is designed to be a "plug and play" system for the members, as much as that is
possible in the complex workers' compensation environment. Notably, OCSD currently carries a
million dollar retention on its workers' compensation program which is obviously a significant
difference to our offering.

In practice, this means that the District's premium (deposits into the risk sharing pool) to CSRMA
would be several magnitudes higher in dollars than the premium the District currently pays to its
excess insurer. While this is "neither good nor bad", as one expects premium to rise as risk is
reduced, the standard way to measure this tradeoff is with the "total cost of risk" concept. Using
the District's most recently available actuarial study and its current excess insurance cost relative to
CSRMA's expected 2020-21 cost reveals a meaningful cost differential in the total cost of risk:
OCSD 2019-2020 CSRMA Program
Workers Comp Cost Item Program Cost 2020-21 Cost
Estimate Estimate
Retained Layer Funding * 1,456,560 N/A
Pool Deposit N/A 1,826,929
Excess Insurance 217,762 Included
Total Cost 1,674,322 1,826,929
* From BRS Actuarial 6/1/18 -Ultimate, Discounted, 80% CL, adjusted for
general inflation at 2%
Therefore unless the District expects a significant change in the cost of its 2020-21 program, on a
pure ultimate cost basis, the District would likely be better off in its existing structure rather than
with the CSRMA Program. Beyond cost, CSRMA's program would require District claims to be
handled by CSRMA's third party claims administration (TPA) firm, and we imagine that OCSD is
likely comfortable in its current relationship. For these reasons, we don't see our workers'
compensation program being a good fit for the District right now. If the District is interested in
pursuing a quote for the 2021 starting fiscal year, we would recommend face to face discussions to
be sure that the District would be happy for the long run inside CSRMA's workers' compensation
program, as due to the risk sharing formulas, participation works best on a multi-year basis.
Property Program
We have reviewed the District's property insurance specifications and note that the District
participates in the same insurance program that CSRMA does, that is to say, the Alliant Property
Insurance Program (APIP, f.k.a. PEPIP). We have reached out to the APIP underwriters, most
notably those at the Lexington Insurance Company (AIG) about participation. They report that
while they have no objection to the District accessing APIP coverage through CSRMA, because it
is the "same risk" that they underwrite currently, there would be no discernable difference in cost
as the District's premium would just be added to CSRMA's premium and then allocated back
through CSRMA to the District. This aside, and all things equal, APIP through CSRMA would
actually cost a bit more for the District, as the JPA would need to allocate a portion of its overhead
charge associated with its program to the District.
Page 3
Mr. John Preston
May 11, 2020
More notable however than any nominal cost change, is that in reviewing the District's current
coverage in APIP, we have learned that the District has more extensive flood coverage than is
currently provided to CSRMA members, and in the current environment, we would not be able to
guarantee that OCSD would be able to keep what looks to be very favorable terms for flood coverage
inside CSRMA's program. For this reason,we do not believe that under the current circumstances,
CSRMA's property program is a better fit for the District rather than accessing APIP directly.
Simply put, we would hate to see the District pay more, and jeopardize the flood cover that it has.
Public Entity Liability
Larger members in CSRMA obtain general liability coverage in our Pooled Liability Program
(PLP). Coverage in the PLP is granted by a Memorandum of Coverage (policy) that is largely
similar in scope to a standard public entity general liability offering from an insurer. Members
share risk with one another between the amounts of their own deductible and where the pool's
reinsurance, attaches. The Program's reinsurance attaches at $500,000 which coincidentally is the
current level of the District's retention in its own liability program. Limits of $25,500,000 are
provided largely by our reinsurance partner,MunichRe. CSRMA's program runs on a calendar year
basis rather than fiscal, so there are timing issues that would need to be resolved,but a best estimate
of a cost comparison at this point in time would be as follows:
OCSD 2019 CSRMA
Excess Liability Cost - 500k Ret. - 2020 - Est.
$40MM $500k Ret.
Limit $25M Limit
Funding for Retained Layer* 571,589 571,589
Pool Deposits/Overhead N/A 75,000
Excess his. Expense** 515,371 710,215
Total: 1,086,960 1,356,804
*From BRS Actuarial Study—Discounted, at 80% Confidence Level
**Excess Ins. Expense at 2019 for OCSD, projected 2020 for CSRMA
Therefore, again, unless the District is expecting a significant increase in the cost of its excess
insurance,there does not appear to be a cost advantage to the District by participating in the CSRMA
pool. It is also important to note that that the current District program provides $15MM more in
limits than does the CSRMA program, which would need to be resolved to arrive at a true "apples
to apples"comparison. Beyond pricing or coverage comparisons between the pool and the District's
current program, there are structural considerations to take note of when wishing to participate in
the pool. Most notably, because members of the pool share risk according to a formula, uniform
claim handling standards are required. Members in the program must engage assigned personnel
of the pool's claims administration firm, Carl Warren and Company. Further, the Program has a
few critical policies and procedures that all members must adhere to. Most notably, as respects
legal defense,barring specific circumstances, defense counsel may only be selected from the pool's
Page 4

May 11, 2020
approved panel of attorneys. While this and other operational procedures work well for current
members,assuring professional,uniform and cost-effective claim handling, an organization the size
of OCSD may not desire such uniformity of process.
Conclusion
We are acutely aware that insurance market has been in an extreme state of flux over the past year,
and even more so over the past few months due to the COVID-19 issue. Our expectation is that this
will continue be the case for the foreseeable future. Rightly,people are vigorously investigating all
coverage options available to them. Unfortunately it does not appear that that CSRMA programs,
as currently structured would necessarily be attractive to the District relative to its current program.
As strong proponent of CSRMA this is not a"happy" conclusion for me to reach,but from working
though the material, it is clear to me that the Programs that CSRMA has built and implemented are
quite simply not designed for organizations with the size of the District.
CSRMA does however see advantages to a closer working relationship with the District and I would
like to offer up the possibility of meeting with you to discuss the broader nature of an OCSD
CSRMA relationship at a point in time that is mutually convenient. There may very well come a
time where the numbers shift, and the math could work out much differently, such that we would
do well to have discussed the many operational issues in inherent participating in a risk sharing JPA
beforehand. To this end, I am attaching a copy of our JPA Agreement that all members are
signatories on, as well as copies of our Pool Programs, and Property Program Participation
Agreements.
We are always willing to discuss topics of mutual interest with those operating within the industry,
be they insurance, risk management or "other". I would hope that you would not hesitate to
contact me with any questions you may have about the contents of this letter, or any other matters
of concern.
Sincerely,

2020 Quotations for Coverage
Property and Excess Liability
Public Risk Insurance Solutions and Management (PRISM)
Dear John:
We have completed our discussions with PRISM (formerly known as CSAC-EIA) concerning
coverage for OCSD in its Property and Excess Liability Programs. As you know, OCSD has long
been a member of this Joint Powers Authority,securing excess workers compensation coverage from
it for many years.While PRISM would look very favorably upon OCSD participating in its programs
beyond excess workers' compensation, for the reasons outlined below, it does not appear that either
the Property or Excess Liability programs of PRISM would make much sense for OCSD in the
current environment.
Excess Liability
PRISM has reviewed OCSD's application material submitted in order to provide an indication of
the cost of coverage in its GLI Program, the most appropriate program for an entity such as OCSD.
Although terms and conditions of coverage are not identical to OCSD's current program (likely all
things equal, besides limits of cover, the GLI Program would likely be broader) they are similar
enough in intended scope,providing general, automobile,professional and public official's liability
coverage on an occurrence basis, to be comparable. A comparison of the total cost of risk for
participation in GLIat OCSD's current retention would be as follows:
OCSD 2019 - PRISM - 2020 Est.
Excess Liability Cost 500k Ret. - $500k Ret. $25M
$40MM Limit
Limit
Est. Funding for Retained Layer* 571,589 571,589

Note, that in comparison to its expiring program, GL1 would be significantly more expensive
providing less total limits of coverage. While on its face, the difference is dramatic, it is important
to note that the excess liability insurance market is hardening almost daily, and we are expecting a
significant increase in the cost of the District's expiring 2019 program shown above. Therefore,
unless renewal costs of the existing program significantly exceed our current estimates, we don't
believe participation in GL1 is an attractive option for the District at this time.
Property Program
PRISM reviewed the District's property insurance specifications and a summary of the current
coverages. PRISM lead underwriters at Lexington Insurance Company (AIG) report that they
currently insure the District through Alliant's Property Insurance Program (APIP) and for this
reason,would be "competing with themselves" if they offer a quotation. While they would have no
objection to the District accessing Lexington through the PRISM Property program rather than
through APIP, because it is the "same risk" underwritten currently, there would be no discernable
difference in cost to the District.
This said, in reviewing the District's current coverage in APIP, it was noted that the District has
significantly higher limits of flood coverage than is currently available in the PRISM program. From
Lexington's vantage,these have been"grandfathered in"from a time when the property market was
viewing flood risk much more favorably than it does today. PRISM would not be able to offer such
flood limits. As a side note on this topic, I would point out that although we have not yet received
renewal terms for the District from APIP, there may be some difficulty at keeping the current flood
limits intact this year. Further,the PRISM Property Program runs on a coverage term of March 31 st
to March 31 st so if the District would prefer to participate in the PRISM Property program a
reconciliation to the Districts' current fiscal year coverage dates would need to occur, along with
some discussion regarding required policies and procedures of participation.
John, from time to time in previous years, OCSD would meet with representatives from PRISM to
discuss their JPA and its coverage offerings. If you would like me to schedule such a meeting in the
future, I would be very happy to do so.

File #: 2020-1122 Agenda Date: 6/24/2020 Agenda Item No: 17.
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 Proposed
Budget is enclosed for the Board's consideration. The Budget has been presented to the Operations
and Administration Committees at their regular June meetings in order to allow each Committee an
opportunity to review the proposal prior to the June Board meeting.
Although each Committee had an opportunity to review the proposal, it remains the responsibility of
the Administration Committee to recommend approval.
The Administration Committee recommended approval of the budget with no user fee increase for FY
2020-21, eliminating the 1.2% user fee increase included in the original budget proposal.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Produce Operating and CIP budgets every two years, with annual update
PROBLEM
The Sanitation District cannot maintain and monitor its financial condition, operations, and future
capital improvements without examination and transparency into its resources, revenues, reserves,
and outlays.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Providing the Board of Directors with an understanding of the Sanitation District's resources will
assist in the approval of the proposed two-year budget.
TIMING CONCERNS
The proposed two-year budget, effective July 1 of this year, has been finalized and is presented to
the Board for adoption.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The Sanitation District will not be able to carry out its financial fiduciary duties beyond June 30, 2020.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The second year of the two-year budget is being proposed at $591 million, or approximately $190
million more than the first-year proposed amount of $401 million. This increase is primarily due to
potentially paying off $102 million in callable debt and the 2020-21 and 2021-22 cashflow
requirements of the Sanitation District's Capital Improvement Program, $148 million and $241 million,
respectively.
The Administration Committee recommended approval of the budget with no user fee increase for FY
2020-21, eliminating the 1.2% user fee increase included in the original budget proposal. Foregoing

the FY 2020-21 user fee increase and resuming annual 1% rate adjustments in 2021-22 will result in
a $71 million loss in revenue to the Sanitation District over the next ten years.
Staff has determined that the most effective means of mitigating this revenue loss without impacting
existing capital or operating programs is through adjustments in the Sanitation District's Debt
Program. Therefore, staff recommends addressing this revenue loss by removing the planned early
debt repayment from the budget and continuing regularly scheduled payments. As the debt issuance
has a relatively low interest rate (3.5%), the savings associated with an early repayment would have
been minimal. Additionally, the debt issuance could be refunded or rolled into another debt issuance
in the future, generating similar savings.

Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT:
FY 2020-21 USER FEE RATE ADJUSTMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Information Item.
BACKGROUND
In 2018, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) approved a five-year rate schedule
which included annual user fee rate increases of approximately 1% or $4 per year for the base single
-family residential rate. However, due to the impacts of COVID-19, local economies and constituents
face increased financial pressure. As a result, the Board Chair has requested that staff research and
report back the impact of postponing the fiscal year 2020-21 rate adjustment one year, implementing
the change in fiscal year 2021-22.
Foregoing the 2020-21 rate adjustment and resuming annual 1% rate adjustments in 2021-22 would
result in a $71 million loss in revenue to the Sanitation District. Staff has determined that the most
effective means of mitigating this revenue loss without impacting existing capital or operating
programs is through adjustments in the Sanitation District's Debt Program.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The 2019-20 and subsequent 2020-21 budgets were balanced assuming rate adjustments of 1% in
each year. However, the 2019-20 capital and operating expenditures were less than anticipated,
resulting in additional available funds. When developing the 2020-21 budget, staff incorporated an
advanced repayment of an existing $71 million debt issuance as part of an overall strategy to reduce
the Sanitation District's total debt, saving the expense of future interest payments.
At the May 27 Steering Committee meeting, recognizing the economic impacts of COVID-19, the
Steering Committee directed staff to determine the financial impact of a foregoing the scheduled
2020-21 rate adjustment and resuming the annual 1% annual rate adjustments in fiscal year 2021-
22.

File #: 2020-1093 Agenda Date: 6/10/2020 Agenda Item No: 9.
Should the Board determine that it is in the best interest to forego the scheduled 2020-21 rate
increase, the most direct impact would be that the Sanitation District would lose approximately $71
million in revenue.
Opportunities to increase revenue in other areas are limited. Addressing the revenue loss by
reducing expenditures would potentially impact capital and/or operating programs. Therefore, staff
believes that the least impactful means of addressing this revenue loss would be to remove the early
debt issuance repayment from the budget and continue its regularly scheduled payments. As the
debt issuance has a relatively low interest rate (3.5%), the savings associated with an early
repayment would have been minimal. Additionally, the debt issuance could be refunded or rolled into
another debt issuance in the future, generating similar savings.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY—FISCAL YEARS 2020-21 and 2021-2022 IV
MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
June 1,2020
Honorable Chair and Board of Directors:
I am pleased to submit the Orange County Sanitation District's(OCSD)Proposed Budget for fiscal years 2020-
2021 and 2021-2022.This document lays out the framework of OCSD's activities during the next two years
and serves as a source of information for OCSD's Board of Directors,our ratepayers,and our employees.This
budget includes the operational,capital and debt service expenditures necessary to cost-effectively support our
mission and execute the Strategic Plan adopted by our Board of Directors in November 2019.
This budget is being submitted at a challenging time for our community,the state,and our nation amid the
COVID-19 pandemic.There are unknowns and uncertainties regarding the duration,the immediate and long-
term impacts,and what the new"normal"will look like.During the budget preparation and presentation,our
staff has been aware of,and has considered this extraordinary situation.Fortunately,under the guidance and
policies set by the Board of Directors,the proposed budget reflects a financially sound and stable organization
capable of weathering this storm.
I would like to highlight some of the areas of focus for the coming years:
• Operational Readiness—OCSD has always been a forward-looking agency,whether it is for operational
reliability,future infrastructure needs,emergency events such as spills and storms,or unknown situations
such as pandemics.We have Business Continuity Plans in place,and we conduct regular tabletop exercises for
various scenarios to allow us to respond quickly and effectively without compromising our mission or levels
of service.As we move forward,our efforts will continue to focus on planning,preparation and integration so
that regardless of what future situations we face,OCSD will be ready.
• Expanded Recycling Efforts
o Groundwater Replenishment System Final Expansion—In partnership with the Orange County Water
District(OCWD),our agency recycles enough water to supply the needs of 850,000 people through the
Groundwater Replenishment System(GWRS).Earlier this year,construction began on the Final Expansion
phase of this internationally recognized project.Changes and additions
to infrastructure will allow for the treated water from Plant No.2 that is currently underutilized,
to be processed at the GWRS facility in Fountain Valley.With this final phase,the GWRS
will provide a reliable water source for over one million people in central and northern
Orange County.
o Food Waste Treatment Facility—A project created for cities in our service area to satisfy the requirements
of California State Assembly Bill 1826 and Senate Bill 1383 which require that organic wastes be diverted
away from landfills.This regulatory shift has created an opportunity in the wastewater sector to provide
a cost effective and environmentally friendly service to help manage organics using OCSD's existing
anaerobic digesters,which in turn will produce renewable energy to power our treatment plants.
• Headquarters Complex—In our ongoing effort to streamline our operations and planning,we have acquired
7.5 acres across Ellis Avenue from Reclamation Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley.The buildings on those
properties will be demolished to make room for a consolidated headquarters building to house the staff
that are currently located in various buildings and trailers spread out on the existing 100-acre wastewater
treatment facility.Adding a headquarters complex will free up needed space for future wastewater treatment
infrastructure and will centralize our administrative functions.Today,we are 95 percent complete in design
and expect to enter construction in 2021 and be move-in ready by the end of 2023.
• Capital Improvement Program—OCSD's Capital Improvement Program(CIP)has evolved over time.It
began by focusing on creating the initial infrastructure of the collections and treatment system,shifted to
expanding capacity,and now our focus is on aging infrastructure,incorporating climate resiliency,seismic
risk,and maximizing resource recovery.During the evolution of this program,one thing has remained;OCSD
facilities must operate reliably with sound financial management.While the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted
A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY—FISCAL YEARS 2020-21 and 2021-2022
FISCAL YEARS 2020-21 AND 2021-22 BUDGET
in operational modifications,our CIP has not been significantly impacted.OCSD will continue to construct
essential wastewater infrastructure,investing$500 million in wastewater infrastructure in the next year and a
half,issuing construction contracts for 37 projects and helping keep the economic engine running in Orange
County.
• Infrastructure Reliability and Asset Management-OCSD's infrastructure must operate continuously day
and night.Reliability must be built into all that we do and that includes managing the condition of our$11
billion in assets to ensure they are running effectively.Over the past two years,we made a concerted effort
to establish an updated and more robust understanding of the condition and performance of all critical
and major assets and our ability to meet established levels of service.As we embark on another year of this
renewed asset management program,we have updated our Asset Management Plan to develop a tactical
approach for addressing asset condition and performance issues.The plan lays out how we will operate and
maintain those assets to deliver the required level of service at the lowest lifecycle cost with an acceptable
level of risk.OCSD will be investing an additional$4 million in repairs and maintenance this next year.
• Safety and Security-Capital projects,maintenance activities,drafting of an implementation plan for a
Voluntary Protection Program Certification,and training to address safety in our workplace are all included
in this budget,as are enhancements to our physical,electronic,and cyber security infrastructure.
• Staffing Cost Containment-While continuing to implement programs to enhance our resiliency,reliability
and resource recovery,this budget displays our commitment to efficiency as it includes a small reduction in
staffing.
OCSD has worked very hard to create an integrated planning environment which begins with the strategic and
policy expectations of the Board of Directors and flows down to the work product of each employee.We have
worked to ensure communication and transparency among our staff members so that they are aligned and
working together in support of the plan.
OCSD will continue to provide wastewater collection,treatment,recycling,facilities maintenance,ocean
monitoring,and many other services while keeping rates among the lowest in California.This budget fully
supports the goals and levels of service included in the Orange County Sanitation District's Strategic Plan and
positions us well to proactively manage in the coming years.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS—A secondary biological wastewater treatment process where bacteria reproduce at a high
rate with the introduction of excess air or oxygen and consume dissolved nutrients in the wastewater.
BENTHOS —The community of organisms, such as sea stars, worms, and shrimp, which live on, in, or near the seabed, also
known as the benthic zone.
BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD) — The amount of oxygen used when organic matter undergoes decomposition by
microorganisms.Testing for BOD is done to assess the amount of organic matter in water.
BIOGAS—A gas that is produced by the action of anaerobic bacteria on organic waste matter in a digester tank that can be used
as a fuel.
BIOSOLIDS—Biosolids are nutrient rich organic and highly treated solid materials produced by the wastewater treatment process.
This high-quality product can be recycled as a soil amendment on farmland or further processed as an earth-like product for
commercial and home gardens to improve and maintain fertile soil and stimulate plant growth.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) — Projects for repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of assets. Also includes
treatment improvements, additional capacity, and projects for the support facilities.
COLIFORM BACTERIA—A group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals, but also occasionally found
elsewhere, used as indicators of sewage pollution. E. coli are the most common bacteria in wastewater.
COLLECTIONS SYSTEM — In wastewater, it is the system of typically underground pipes that receive and convey sanitary
wastewater or storm water.
CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION (COP)—A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the lease revenues of
a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues.
CONTAMINANTS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN (CPC) — Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater
contaminants.
DILUTION TO THRESHOLD (D/T) —The dilution at which the majority of people detect the odor becomes the D/T for that air
sample.
GREENHOUSE GASES (GHG) — In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and
ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming ("greenhouse effect").
GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM(GWRS)—Ajoint water reclamation project that proactively responds to Southern
California's current and future water needs. This joint project between the Orange County Water District and OCSD provides 70
million gallons per day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS)—Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance.
N-NITROSODIMETHYLAMINE (NDMA) — A N-nitrosamine suspected cancer-causing agent. It has been found in the GWRS
process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide with extra ultra-violet treatment.
