May 7, 2003
Mr. Edwards provided a briefing on the preliminary findings of their Stormwater Program
Dry Weather Diversion Study. He indicated that they continue to validate the findings
and explained the objectives. He located the existing and proposed diversions and
described the various types of diversions and the estimated cost comparisons. He then
described the County's decision making process for evaluating and constructing
diversions, which include POTW considerations. The report should be complete by
June 30, 2003 and collaborative discussions will begin thereafter on future direction.
Ms. Renescu made a presentation on the findings of the OCSD program and
expectations for the next three years. Phase 11 will provide for the development of the
long-term urban runoff program. The actions before the Committee are to approve the
continuation of the Urban Runoff Program; approval to accept flow above 4 MGD and up
to 10 MGD; provide direction on developing urban runoff user charges; and fund
Phase II development and implementation including the use of consultant services.
A discussion on Prop 218 restrictions followed. If passed by the legislature and signed
into law by the governor, ACA 10 will place before the voters a constitutional amendment
to allow municipalities to raise fees for storm water and urban runoff management. The
District would not be allowed to directly seek support of the proposal and will have to rely
on others to promote the merits of exempting urban runoff fees from Prop 218
requirements. There is a need to educate the city council members and the public on
the program and funding mechanisms.
Norris Brandt described how the San Joaquin Marsh Wetlands natural treatment process
worked and explained some of the costs.
The Committee members discussed a wide range of issues including regulatory
mandates, mission of the ad hoc committee, time frame, constraints, presentations to
city councils, roles of impacted agencies, inland city participation, legal opinion on 218
restrictions, funding mechanisms, objectives, how to do the program most efficiently,
impacts if we don't manage the resource, and a discussion on how we are going to
implement the program and how to pay for it.
Director Roy Moore left the meeting at 4:45 p.m.
After discussion, it was moved, seconded and duly carried to:
1. Continue the Urban Runoff Program to accept additional urban runoff
discharges above 4 MGD and up to 10 MGD for the next three years
(2003-2006) and move to Phase il.
2. Seek direction of the Ad Hoc Committee to develop a policy regarding
user charges when urban runoff flows accepted by the District exceed the
4 MGD fee threshold.
3. Contract for the services of a consultant to evaluate the technical,
institutional and cost issues associated with continuing the District's
Urban Runoff Program and expanding it beyond the 10 MGD cap to meet
anticipated needs.

Originator: Mahin Talebi, Manager, Source Control Division

Division
SUBJECT: Urban Runoff Program Development and Implementation —Phase II
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
The Orange County stormwater management program is defined within a policy and
regulatory framework established by the Orange County Municipal Stormwater NPDES
Permit and Drainage Area Management Plan. The purpose of this meeting is to gain a
better understanding of that policy framework as a foundation for considering the future
direction of the District's program.
SUMMARY
On May 7, 2003 the Ad Hoc Committee recommended for approval 1) continuation
of the District's urban runoff program, 2) implementation of the next phase of the
program (Phase II), and 3) $350,000 for implementation of Phase II over the next
three years. Committee members raised several issues that are crucial to the
development and implementation of an effective urban runoff program in Orange
County:
➢ Urban runoff is a regional issue and requires regional decision making.
➢ All entities in Orange County are stakeholders; both coastal and inland
cities share responsibility.
➢ Diversions are one element in the County's overall approach to controlling
urban runoff. Other structural (e.g., natural treatment systems) and non-
structural best management practices must also be considered.
➢ As Principal Permittee, the County of Orange is the lead agency for
complying with the municipal stormwater NPDES permit in Orange
County. As Permittees, each city in the county is responsible for
controlling runoff within its jurisdiction.
➢ Local government must work through the issues associated with
Proposition 218 in order to mount an effective program. ACA 10 is an
option that would allow local governments to raise money to pay for the
program.
➢ Public education and outreach to local elected officials and other
stakeholders on the funding issue is critically important to the success of
the storm water and urban runoff management program.
The District's level of involvement in the stormwater/urban runoff program up to now
can best be described as cooperative to meet the needs of its member agencies.
The Ad Hoc Committee was created several years ago to help guide District policy
for accepting urban runoff and allocating the costs associated with providing this
service to the community. As a follow-up to the discussion that was held at the May
7 Ad Hoc committee meeting it was suggested the May 21 meeting focus on gaining
a better understanding of the District's role in the overall county program.
A representative of the Orange County Stormwater Management Program will
participate in the meeting and provide the committee with an overview of the
County's program.

Talking Points for Director Don Bankhead
12.d. Verbal report by Chair of Urban Runoff Ad Hoc Committee re May 7 and May 21, 2003
meetings.
• The urban runoff committee met twice this month: May 7 and May 21 and recommended several
actions that will come before the board for approval in the coming months.
• The committee reviewed the past three years of operating experience and recommended
continuation of the District's urban runoff diversion program.
• Presently, the district accepts about 2 million gallons per day of dry weather runoff.
• The committee directed staff to continue to work with the County of Orange to expand the District's
program and accept additional flows up to a maximum of 10 million gallons per day.
= The County is completing work on a project to identify the highest priority diversion projects.
• Currently the District receives urban runoff from 16 diversion points throughout the County.
Another 14 systems are proposed for diversion to the sewer system within the District's service
area.
- • The additional flows from these proposed sites will begin to approach 10 mgd over the next several
years.
• The committee recommended a three-year budget of $350,000 to hire a consultant to help staff
evaluate the impact of these higher flows on the District's facilities.
Presently, the District absorbs about $225,000 annually to treat 2 mgd of dry weather flows. The
district's current policy requires local governments to pay the cost of treatment when flows exceed 4
mgd. The committee will be considering a range of options for financing the program when flows
exceed that 4 mgd threshold.
• The biggest issue facing local government is finding a way to pay for urban runoff and storm water
programs. Right now, municipalities must work within the requirements of Proposition 218 in order
to mount an effective program. The district is sponsoring legislation--ACA 10--that would allow local
governments to raise money to pay for these programs.
• Finally, the committee directed staff to evaluate the cost and feasibility of other treatment options —
such as natural treatment systems and filter devices —the District could implement.
