TRACT NO. 7850 - REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD PERMITS
The Director of Public Works requested Council direction relative to the hearing which
will be held before the Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding permits for Tract
No. 7850. Mr. Wheeler explained why his department and the Harbors and Beaches Depart-
ment believe that the street drainage in Tract No. 7850 should be handled in the same
manner as street drainage throughout the other portions of Huntington Harbour. He in-
formed Council that there are citizens who will be appearing before the Regional Water
Quality Control Board to ask that the Board require that the storm drainage be collected
and pumped into a neighboring flood control channel. He explained that his recom-
mendation on this matter was based on the fact that the tract accounts to less than 1%
of the drainage area tributary to the Huntington Harbour area; that this was a major
area -wide problem and could not be solved by imposing the perennial cost on these home-
owners. He requested Council authorization to formally take this position before the
Regional Water Quality Control Board hearing.
Mr. John Nichol, representing Moffatt and Nichol Engineers, addressed Council and in-
formed them of the requirements which the Regional Board sets in regard to special catch
basins and corrected the Director of Public Works in that the tract is less than one
tenth of one percent of the total drainage area tributary to Huntington Harbour.
Councilman Shipley left the meeting at 8:50 P.M.
Considerable discussion was held between the Director of Public Works and Council on
the matter.
A motion was made by Councilman Matney to authorize the Director of Public Works to take
the position which he has recommended to Council before the Regional Water Quality Con-

PREPARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS

Environmental Impact Reports whereby the City would employ the environmental consultant
rather than the developers, thereby insuring that the city receives objective reports.
Considerable discussion was held between the Council and staff regarding the procedure
presently being followed by the City. The City Attorney commented on the public's input
relative to Environmental Impact Reports, and stated that the environmental impact
report ordinance does provide that the City may charge the developer the administrative
expenses of preparation of Environmental Impact Reports which would include the hiring
of consultants.
