3.3.1 Basin Characteristics
The OC Basin underlies the northerly half of Orange County beneath broad lowlands. The OC Basin is
not an adjudicated basin and is managed by OCWD. It covers an area of approximately 350 square
miles, bordered by the Coyote and Chino Hills to the north,the Santa Ana Mountains to the northeast,
and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. The OC Basin boundary extends to the Orange County-Los
Angeles Line to the northwest, where groundwater flows across the county line into the Central
Groundwater Basin of Los Angeles County. The total thickness of sedimentary rocks in the OC Basin is
over 20,000 feet, with only the upper 2,000 to 4,000 feet containing fresh water. The Pleistocene or
younger aquifers comprising this Basin are over 2,000 feet deep and form a complex series of
interconnected sand and gravel deposits. The OC Basin's full volume is approximately 66 MAF.
3.3.3 Groundwater Recharge Facilities
Recharging water into the OC Basin through natural and artificial means is essential to support pumping
from the OC Basin. Active recharge of groundwater began in 1949, in response to increasing drawdown
of the OC Basin and consequently the threat of seawater intrusion. The OC Basin's primary source of
recharge is flow from the Santa Ana River, which is diverted into recharge basins and its main Orange
County tributary, Santiago Creek. Other sources of recharge water include natural infiltration and recycled
water.Today OCWD owns and operates a network of recharge facilities that cover 1,067 acres.An
increase in recharge capacity of greater than 10,000 AFY occurred with the addition of the La Jolla
Recharge Basin which came online in 2008. The La Jolla Recharge Basin is a 6-acre recharge basin.
One of OCWD's primary efforts has been the control of seawater intrusion into the OC Basin, especially
via the Talbert and Alamitos seawater intrusion barriers. The Talbert and Alamitos seawater intrusion
barriers are shown on Figure 3-3. Some of the injection wells from the Talbert intrusion barrier are located
within the City's service area, however,the Alamitos barrier is outside of the City's service area.
5.2.4 City of Huntington Beach
As defined in Chapter 14.18 of the City's Municipal Water Code, a water shortage is declared based on
one or more of the following conditions:
• A general water supply shortage due to increased demand or limited supplies
• A major failure of the supply, storage, and distribution facilities of Metropolitan or of the City
• A local or regional disaster,which limits the water supply
The City's Water Management Program is defined in Chapter 14.18 of the Huntington Beach Municipal
Code. This program establishes a staged water conservation program that will encourage reduced water
consumption within the City through conservation, enable effective water supply planning, assure
reasonable and beneficial use of water, prevent waste of water, and maximize the efficient use of water
within the City. Along with permanent water conservation requirements,the City's Water Conservation
Program consists of three stages to respond to a reduction in potable water available to the City for
distribution to its customers. For the first two stages,the City Council determines, in its sole discretion,
that due to drought or other water supply conditions, a water supply shortage or threatened shortage
exists and a consumer demand reduction is necessary to make more efficient use of water and
appropriately respond to existing water conditions.The third stage is declared by the City Council as a
water shortage emergency and residents and businesses are notified that a significant reduction in
consumer demand is necessary to maintain sufficient water suppliers for public health and safety. A
summary of the stages of water shortage is displayed in Table 5-1 (Huntington Beach, Chapter 14.18
Municipal Code).
Conditions prevailing in the City area require that available water resources be put to maximum beneficial
use to the extent possible. The waste, unreasonable use, or unreasonable method of use of water should
be prevented and water conservation and water use efficiency should be encouraged with a view toward
maximizing reasonable and beneficial use in the interests of the people of the City and for the public
welfare. Preservation of health and safety is a top priority for the City.

6.2 Wastewater Description and Disposal
The City operates and maintains the local sewer collection pipes that feed into the OCSD's trunk sewer
system to convey wastewater to OCSD's Plant No. 2. OCSD is responsible for the treatment and disposal
of all the City's wastewater. The City's sewer system includes 360 miles of sewer lines ranging from 6
inches to 30 inches in diameter, 10,000 manholes and 27 lift stations. OCSD has an extensive system of
gravity flow sewers, pump stations, and pressurized sewers. OCSD Plant No. 2 has a capacity of 312
MGD with a 120-inch diameter ocean outfall that extends 4 miles off the coast of the City. There is also a
78-inch diameter emergency outfall that extends 1.3 miles off the coast.
Residential homes northwest of Sunset Beach, in the area known as Surfside, have sewer flow that goes
to the Sunset Beach Sanitary District, which eventually connects into the City's sewer collection system.
The Sunset Aquatic Marina also sends its sewer flow to the City's sewer collection system. Lastly, a
property at the northeast comer of Beach Boulevard and Edinger Avenue is within the City of
Westminster, but their sewage also goes to the City.
Table 6-1 summarizes the wastewater collected by the City and transported to OCSD's Plant No. 2 in
2015.

(GWRS)is used for the Talbert Barrier injection to prevent seawater intrusion (OCWD 2015 Groundwater Management Plan).We assumed 22 percent of the
injected water is through injection wells located within the City of Huntington Beach boundary(8 of 36 injections wells lie within Huntington Beach). In 2025
GWRS Phase III expansion is projected to add 33,600 AFy(OCWD 2015 Groundwater Management Plan).Since 35 percent of GWRS water is currently used
for seawater intrusion,the same percentage is assumed for Phase III.Talbert Barrier represents 39 percent of all seawater intrusion barrier water(OCWD
2015 Groundwater Management Plan).
Assumes amount used in 2020 equals 2015(prior to Phase III expansion in 2025).Assumes amount used in 2025 will equal 2030,2035,and 2040 per Phase III

The 2015 Urban Water Management Plan is submitted to the State Department of Water Resources
(DWR) every five years pursuant to the Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983. The Plan is a
general information document and complements the Municipal Water District of Orange County and the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California plan. The purpose of the Urban Water Management
Plan is to provide a local perspective and analysis of the current and projected future water supplies and
demands and water conservation activities of the City. Minor revisions were requested by DWR to be
included in the Plan, and those changes are summarized in the Amendments to 2015 Urban Water
Management(Amendments).
The Amendments for the Plan will be made available for public review at the Office of the City Clerk and
on the City's website at Huntingtonbeechca.gov/hbwater 2015-UWMP-Amendments.pdf. All
interested persons are invited to attend the hearing on the Amendments, to express their opinions for,
or against, with written or oral comments. Written communications to the City Council may also be
