r% Dept.ID FD13 009 Pagel of 2 Meeting Date: 10/7/2013 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Q3; g REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL. ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/7/2013 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Patrick McIntosh, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 3991 amending Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code by adopting the California Fire Code, 2013 Edition; and, schedule a Public Hearing for November 4, 2013 Statement of Issue: The City Council is requested to adopt an ordinance amending Municipal Code, Chapter 17.56 adopting the California Fire Code, 2013 edition. Financial Impact: Not applicable. Recommended Action: A) Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 3991, "An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Adopting the California Fire Code;" and, B) Schedule a Public Hearing for November 4, 2013. Alternative Action(s): Do not introduce the Ordinance. Analysis: The Fire Code is revised every three years to keep pace with current technologies and hazardous processes. The City of Huntington Beach, upon review and evaluation, traditionally adopts the revised edition. The 2013 California Fire Code is the latest model code revision published by the California Building Standards Commission in conjunction with the International Code Council. State law mandates that this Code be enforced by all California jurisdictions, effective January 1, 2014. In order to amend this Code to meet local conditions and special hazards that do not exist in all jurisdictions, the City needs to officially adopt the code by ordinance (Attachment 1), effective January 1, 2014. Therefore, it is important that any revisions be made at the time of this ordinance introduction. If the Code is not adopted as such, it will become law by default without amendments. Adopting the 2013 California Fire Code would coincide with the adoption of the 2013 California Building and Residential Code by the Department of Planning and Building, scheduled to also take effect January 1, 2014. The 2013 California Building Code is also published by the California Building Standards Commission. It is a sister publication of the 2013 California Fire Code, which coordinates code references between the two publications to prevent conflicting code sections. It is important to adopt these two publications simultaneously. Item 9. - I xB -286- Dept.ID FD13 009 Page 2 of 2 Meeting Date: 10/7/2013 Analysis (continued): The City of Huntington Beach amendments to the California Fire Code appear in the Legislative Draft of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC), Chapter 17.56 (Attachment 2). The California Building Standards Commission requires that local amendments to the California Fire Code be supported by express findings of fact, which are included as part of the ordinance. They correlate the proposed revisions to the Fire Code to the local conditions that necessitate the changes. A summary of proposed local amendments for the 2013 Edition of the California Fire Code is included as Attachment 3. In addition, City Specification 431-92, shown as Attachment 4, will be amended to ensure it accurately identifies currently referenced standards and soil testing protocols that represent industry standards and best management practices. This update was one of the goals of the City's 10-point plan for 2013. If the ordinance is introduced at this meeting, a public hearing would be scheduled for the City Council meeting on November 4, 2013, at which time adoption could also take place. If adopted, the ordinance would then become effective January 1, 2014. The accompanying PowerPoint presentation is shown as Attachment 5. Environmental Status: None. Strategic Plan Goal: Enhance and maintain public safety. Attachment(s): 1.

PowerPoint Presentation HB -287- Item 9. - 2 ATlAt; NMENII 4" 1 ORDINANCE NO. 3991 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH AMENDING CHAPTER 17.56 OF THE HUNTINGTON BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE ADOPTING THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE WHEREAS, Section 17958.5 of the California Health and Safety Code permits the City to make changes or modifications to the California Fire Code as such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geographic or topographical conditions; and The Fire Chief of the City of Huntington Beach has recommended that the California Fire Code be adopted by the City with certain changes or modifications which are necessary to meet local climatic, geographical or topographical conditions. The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. The following findings are hereby adopted in support of Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and the amendments thereto. The findings shall not be codified. FINDINGS The City of Huntington Beach is aware that due to climatic, geological and topographical conditions, there is potential for disasters and maj or fires within the City. The applicable finding for each amendment, addition, or deletion from the California Fire Code (CFC) is listed in Section 2 of this ordinance. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS 1. Hot, dry, high velocity winds (called Santa Ana winds) are common in the area. These winds reduce the relative humidity causing severe drying of the vegetation and common building materials. These dry conditions predispose the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). 2. The local climate is currently in a drought condition. Dry climatic conditions can create the potential for the rapid spread of fire in both vegetation and structures. The addition of fire protection systems will supplement the Fire Department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing or controlling the spread of fire. Fire sprinkler systems also provide an efficient use of water for the control and containment of fires. 3. The southern boundary of the City is along the Pacific Ocean. Winter storms and tropical storms come into the City from the ocean. These storms can create high winds and large ocean waves, which can cause flooding in large areas of the city. Along part of the eastern boundary of the City is the Santa Ana River. This river originates in the San Bernardino 13-3921/101438 1 Ordinance No. 3991 Mountains and flows through many communities until it tenninates in the ocean at the Huntington Beach/Newport Beach border. The river is contained in a man-made channel. Heavy rainfall and urban runoff has potential to cause flooding in the flood plain due to the river and/or its tributaries. GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS 4. The City of Huntington Beach is located in an area of high seismic activity. The Newport- Inglewood Fault runs through the City, which is the largest of several faults. Studies reveal that this fault has the probability of generating a 6.6 magnitude earthquake. Because of the population density and the number of structures in the City, the risk of life loss and property damage due to earthquake activity is considerable. 5. Major earthquakes are always accompanied by the disruption of traffic flow. Fires caused by damaged flammable gas piping, ruptured fuel storage tanks and electrical arcing are probable. The Fire Department response to fires and other emergencies may be compromised. The presence of built-in fire protection systems and regulation of tank installations provide an added degree of protection for the community. 6. The City is located in a low to moderate tsunami area. These seismic sea waves have the ability to flood large sections of the low-lying areas. These flood conditions also impact the response and activity level of the Fire Department. 7. Much of the City is deemed to be a methane district due to the natural detritus of organic matter in the Huntington Beach Oil Field, which was first discovered in 1920 and from which there was approximately 2 million barrels of oil and approximately 745 million cubic feet of gas produced in 2012. This hazard presents a unique threat to the City and has the potential to cause fire, or environmental emergencies. TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS 8. The City has a population of approximately 192,000 people in 27 square miles. The daytime population increases significantly in the summer due to beach related activities. 9. Heavy traffic is common on the City streets and roadways. There are two state highways (Beach Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway) and a major freeway(1-405) routed through the City. 10. There are also numerous narrow alleys and cul-de-sacs present. The ability for fire apparatus access is critical for timely emergency response. The regulation of these access routes is necessary to help provide reasonable response times. 11. The southeast border of the city is the Pacific Ocean, which prevents mutual aid responses from 1/3 of the perimeter of the City. 13-3921/101438 2 Ordinance No. 3991 Section Justification Added Deleted Amended 202-Containment Vessel 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 202-High Rise Building 4, 5, 10, 11 X 319 7, 8 X 320 8 X 503.1.1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 503.2.1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 X 503.2.3 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 503.2.4 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 503.2.5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 503.6 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 505.1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 506.1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 507.1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 507.5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 507.5.7 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 510.6.1 4, 5, 8, 10 X 606.10.1.2 4, 5, 8, 9 X 901.6 4, 5, 7, 8 X 901.6.2.3 2, 4, 5, 6, 9 X 903.2 2, 4, 5, 6, 9 X 903.2.1.6 2, 4, 5, 6, 9 X 903.2.4 2, 4, 5, 6, 9 X 903.2.11.3 2, 4, 5, 6, 9 X 903.3.1.1.1 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 903.3.5.2 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 903.3.5.3 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 903.4 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 907.1 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 907.2.13 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 914.2.1 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 X 914.3 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 X 914.3.1 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 914.6.1 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X 1103.5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 1103.5.3 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 1103.7 1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 13-3921/101438 3 Ordinance No. 3991 Section Justification Added Deleted Amended 1103.7.10 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 2306.2.3 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 X 2306.2.4.1 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 X 2306.2.4.2 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 X 2306.2.6 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 X 2703.4 8 X 2809.1 1, 2, 7, 10, 11 X 3103.4 8, 9, 10 X 3310.1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 X 3312.1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 X 3313.1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 X 3314.1.1 1, 5, 8, 9, 11 X 3318 1, 5, 8,9, 11 X 5001.5.1 3, 4, 6 X 5001.5.2 3, 4, 6 X 5003.3.1.4 3, 4, 6 X 5003.4 6, 11 X 5404.1.1 4, 5, 8 X 5609 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11 X 5 610 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11 X 5704.2.9.6.1 4, 5, 6, 8 X 5704.2.11.2 4, 5, 6, 8 X 5704.2.13.1.4 3, 6, 7 X 5705.3.3 1, 2, 8 X 5705.3.7.5.1 1, 2, 3 X 5706.2.4.4 4,.5, 6, 8 X 5706.3 7, 8, 9 X 6003.1.4.1 4, 5 X 6204.1.3 4, 5, 6 X 6304.1.5 4, 5, 8 X 6404.1.1 4, 5, 8 X 6604.1.3 4, 5, 6 X 6704.1.2 4, 5, 6 X 6.8.3 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 X 8.17.1.1.1 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 8.17.2.4.6 1, 2, 8, 9, 10 X 22.1.3 (43) 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 X 13-3921/101438 4 Ordinance No. 3991 Section Justification Added Deleted Amended 4.1.5 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 X 7.1.2 1, 2, 4, 5 X 7.3 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 X 7.3.1 8 X 7.6 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 6.16.1 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 6.4.5.4.1 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 5.9.1.3 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 5.9.1.3.1 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 6.2.1.1 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 6.2.11 (5) 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 6.2.11 (6) 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 6.2.11 (7) 8, 9, 10 X 6.3.3 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 10.1.6.3 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 X 10.3.6'.2 4, 7 X 10.3.6.3 4, 7 X 10.6.3.1 4, 7 X 10.6.4 4, 7 X 14.2.2.2.3 1, 2, 4, 5, 6;8, 9, 10, 11 X 14.6.2.1 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 14.6.2.1.1 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 X 23.8.2.2 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 X 23.8.2.3 8, 10 X 26.2.7.1 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 X Appendix B -B 105.1 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 X SECTION 2.

Motorized parade floats shall be provided with an engine exhaust system that is capable of carrying the exhaust product away from any enclosed spaces to the open air. This addition to an existing amendment would address past incidents of engine exhaust termination adjacent to the float drivers. This amendment would ensure greater driver safety. Parade floats are often operated and decorated by non professionals. Chapter 5 — Fire Service Features • Section 510.6.1, #5 -Testing_ and proof of compliance. This amendment would ensure that structures installed with first responder coverage equipment would have a copy of the report verifying equipment testing to be posted, adjacent to the Fire Alarm Control Panel. Posting of the test results will make it easier for property managers so they don't have to retrieve this information from business office files during fire inspections. Chapter 9 — Fire Protection Systems 901.6 Inspection, testing and maintenance. This amendment would address the need to require the maintenance of methane mitigation systems which are common in Huntington Beach. Current code language does not address the requirement. Maintenance is needed to prevent the potential accumulation of methane within a structure and the resulting explosion hazard. 0 903.3.5.3 Hydraulic calculations margin, Added. Fire protection system hydraulic calculations shall include a 10% safety margin between the available water supply and the required system supply. This update is in support of one of the goals of the City's 10-point plan for working with other Orange County fire agencies to develop consistent county-wide amendments in 2013. This amendment would codify a common industry standard of providing a 10% safety factor to address fluctuations in water supply and reduced water availability from seismic or other water line failure events. 1 HB -365- Item 9. - 80 Chapter 23 — Motor Fuel-Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages • Clarification of existing amendment Chapter 31 — Tents and Other Membrane Structures • 3103.4 Perrhits.

Chapter 50 — Hazardous Materials — General Provisions • 5003.3.1.4 Responsibility for cleanup. Clean-up will be in compliance with City Specification #431-92 dated January 2014. This is a clarification of an existing amendment which would provide an update to the City Specification to ensure it accurately identifies current referenced standards and soil testing protocols that represent industry standards and best management practices. Additionally, this update was one of the goals of the City's 10-paint plan for 2013. This update also provides a step-by-step process to assist developers with gaining compliance. The clarifications have not strengthened nor reduced the existing City Specification, thereby maintaining the same safeguards to the community the previous City Specification afforded. Chapter 56 — Explosives and Fireworks • 5609.1 "Safe and sane" or dangerous fireworks prohibited. Although this returns the same amendment in place prior to the 2-year fireworks trial, it contains a provision to allow for safe and sane fireworks if a subsequent ordinance or charter amendment is approved. 2 Item 9. - 81 xB -366- ATTACHMENT #4 City Specification No. 431 =92 Huntington Beach Fire Department ® . . INTRODUCTION In an attempt to restore hydrocarbon contaminated soil to a clean condition meeting the environmental requirements listed within this City Specification, and to protect the health and safety of the community, the City of Huntington Beach maintains standards for soil quality. The Huntington Beach Fire Department (HBFD) has the responsibility under the California Fire Code (CFC) and the Huntington Beach Municipal Code(HBMC), Chapter 17.56, to require the implementation of the procedures necessary to evaluate the condition of soil and to confirm the soil conforms to the conditions identified in this City Specification. This City Specification does not supersede or replace other regulatory agency requirements that may be enforceable for site-specific conditions. For the purposes of this soil quality standard, "soil' is defined as geologic(i.e., earthen) material at the site from ground surface to 5 feet above mean depth to first encountered groundwater, or geologic (i.e., earthen) materials imported to the site as part of the planned site activities. The purpose of this City Specification (soil quality standard) is to provide guidance to project proponents in assessing site soils for the presence of chemical contaminants and to inform decision-making with regard to required actions in the event that contamination is identified. APPLICABILITY OF THIS CITY SPECIFICATION • This City Specification is applicable to all types of petroleum contaminated sites and soil media. • This City Specification may be applicable to sites with mixtures of petroleum and other hazardous substances (e.g., petroleum and chlorinated solvents or metals). The procedures described here do not take into account the added complexity of establishing clean-up standards and remediating these mixtures. For such sites, the user should contact HBFD staff to discuss the applicability of this guidance and what other additional factors may need to be considered as part of the remediation of these sites. • This City Specification is generally not applicable to sites contaminated only with hazardous substances other than petroleum related chemicals associated with crude oil production, processing, and handling. Depending on the substances involved, other agencies may be appropriate to manage these substances (e.g., DTSC, RWQCB, OCHCA, CalRecycle, AQMD). See glossary on page (10) for agency definitions. Site assessment and remediation (e.g., removal alternatives, natural and accelerated attenuation, vapor intrusion mitigation) are not discussed in detail in this City Specification.

The requirement for a site Environmental Professional shall be at the discretion of the HBFD. Environmental sampling (which may include soil and soil vapor sampling) shall be carried out using all appropriate and/or relevant protocols in accordance with the environmental professional standard-of-care. Copies of final letters and additional documentation demonstrating compliance with this specification as required by HBFD shall be included as part of the architectural plans submitted for building permit issuance. 1. STEP 'I —SITE BACKGROUND AND OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 The project proponent shall provide documentation of the site background conditions and describe the operational (i.e., use) history, to achieve the intent of this City Specification to assess and restore contaminated soil to a clean condition. The project proponent shall search for, review, and summarize information pertaining to the site's current and historical uses, and review and summarize any and all existing environmental site documentation. The documentation shall, at a minimum, include: • A narrative description of the site background and operational use; • Supporting documentation of the background and operational uses (e.g., aerial photographic history, key individual interview summaries); and • A description or tabulation of potential or recognized environmental conditions (historical and/or current). 1.2 This documentation may be in the form of'Phase I' environmental site assessment. The documentation shall include all appropriate information needed to determine the potential or recognized environmental conditions at the site. 1.3 In the event that the documentation described above does not indicate any potential or recognized environmental conditions, the HBFD may require the project proponent to proceed with Step 2— Soil Testing to confirm this conclusion. Depending on the project proponent's timeline for development and/or alternate use of the site, this documentation may be submitted as part of, or along with, documentation required as part of Step 2—Soil Testing, described below. 2. STEP 2—SOIL TESTING: WORK PLANS, IMPLEMENTATION AND REPORTING 2.1 A site-specific soil testing plan shall be developed by the project proponent and submitted to the HBFD for review and approval. The project proponent shall perform environmental soil testing, to evaluate the environmental soil condition, for all appropriate chemicals or parameters identified in the following Criteria: • 1 st Criteria—Soil testing shall be performed to verify that soils are below Federal and State regulations governing hazardous waste. • 2nd Criteria—Soil testing shall be performed to verify that soils are below applicable Federal, State, or County thresholds, as well as the petroleum JANUARY 2014—REPLACES FEBRUARY 2004 PAGE 3 OF 11 S:\FMT\Fire Prevention ManuaRCity Specs\City Spec 43141 HB - 369- Item 9. - 84 CITY SPECIFICATION NO. 431-92 Soil oualftv $t nd.-ard hydrocarbon thresholds defined in this City Specification. These thresholds will depend on the anticipated end use of the site. 2.2 The site-specific soil testing plan shall be developed by the project proponent based on historical and/or potential recognized environmental conditions; this City Specification provides the above general criteria to guide soil testing. Prior to commencing soil testing intended to support a determination that the soil meets this City Specification, a work plan shall be submitted to the HBFD that defines the rationale and technical approach to collecting the environmental data. If soil testing has been performed for another State or County agency, then reports containing the resulting data should be submitted in support of the evaluation required as part of this City Specification. 2.3 This City Specification also applies to soil planned for import to the site for fill. The soil sampling plan(s) and site history information may be required to be submitted to HBFD for review and approval. _The Environmental Professional for the project shall review the soil data (to the degree they deem necessary) and concur with the conclusions and assertions made by the exporting licensed consultant. Once the Environmental Professional has reviewed and concurred with the analysis of the exporting consultant (clean and compliant with this specification, 431-92), they shall submit a letter to the HBFD for review. The letter shall include the amount of soil imported in cubic yards and project address. It will become part of the permanent record for soil at that site. 2.4 Soil Testing — 1st Soil Quality Standard Criteria ® Soil testing data shall be submitted that confirms site soils are below thresholds defined in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR Title 22, Div. 4.5, Chapter 11 — Identification and Listing of Hazardous Wastes). Laboratory tests used in this determination are pH (EPA-9045D), Title 22 Metals (total using EPA-601013/7471A), and Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs (EPA-826013) as described in Section 2.6 Soil Testing - Site Assessment and Laboratory Specifications. Please note that laboratory methods may be updated periodically; it is the responsibility of the project proponent to analyze for the above constituents according to the appropriate analytical methods. When analyzing for VOCs, samples should be collected to limit volatilization of compounds from the samples (EPA-5035). Soils sampled during site assessments that fail CCR Title 22 criteria for hazardous waste will need to be managed by the appropriate party according to an approved remedial action plan (RAP), as described in Step 3—Soil Remediation. _AMIJARY 2014—REPLACES FEBRUARY 2004 PAGE 4 of 11 Item 9. - 85 AT\Fire Prevention Manual\City Specs\City Spec 431 HB -370- CITY SPECIFICATION NO. 431-92 , 'Sojij 2.5 Soil Testing —2nd Soil Quality Standard Criteria Soil testing data shall also be submitted that evaluates chemicals often associated with petroleum production, storage, refining, retail fuel dispensing and handling operations.

The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. The following findings are hereby adopted in support of Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and the amendments thereto. The findings shall not be codified. F— The City of Huntington Beach is aware that due to climatic, geological and topographical conditions,there is potential for disasters and major fires within the City. The applicable finding for each amendment,addition,or deletion from the California Fire Code(CFC)is listed in Section 2 of this ordinance. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS 1. Hot,dry,high velocity winds(called Santa Ana winds)are common in the area. These winds reduce the relative humidity causing severe drying of the vegetation and common building materials. These dry conditions predispose the area to large destructive fires(conflagration). 2. The local climate is currently in a drought condition. Dry climatic conditions can create the potential for the rapid spread of fire in both vegetation and structures. The addition of fire protection systems will supplement the Fire Department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing or controlling the spread of fine. Fire sprinkler systems also provide an efficient use of water for the control and containment of fires. 3. The southern boundary of the City is along the Pacific Ocean. Winter storms and tropical storms come into the City from the ocean. These storms can create high winds and large ocean waves,which can cause flooding in large areas of the city. Along part of the eastern boundary of the City is the Santa Ana River. This river originates in the San Bernardino 13-3921/101438 1 Ordinance No.3991 Mountains and flows through many communities until it terminates in the ocean at the Huntington Beach/Newport Beach border. The river is contained in a man-made channel. Heavy rainfall and urban runoff has potential to cause flooding in the flood plain due to the river and/or its tributaries. GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS 4. The City of Huntington Beach is located in an area of high seismic activity. The Newport- Inglewood Fault runs through the City,which is the largest of several faults. Studies reveal that this fault has the probability of generating a 6.6 magnitude earthquake. Because of the population density and the number of structures in the City,the risk of life loss and property damage due to earthquake activity is considerable. 5. Major earthquakes are always accompanied by the disruption of traffic flow. Fires caused by damaged flammable gas piping,ruptured fuel storage tanks and electrical arcing are probable. The Fire Department response to fires and other emergencies may be compromised. The presence of built-in fire protection systems and regulation of tank installations provide an added degree of protection for the community. 6. The City is located in a low to moderate tsunami area. These seismic sea waves have the ability to flood large sections of the low-lying areas. These flood conditions also impact the response and activity level of the Fire Department. 7. Much of the City is deemed to be a methane district due to the natural detritus of organic matter in the Huntington Beach Oil Field,which was first discovered in 1920 and from which there was approximately 2 million barrels of oil and approximately 745 million cubic feet of gas produced in 2012. This hazard presents a unique threat to the City and has the potential to cause fire,or environmental emergencies. TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS 8. The City has a population of approximately 192,000 people in 27 square miles. The daytime population increases significantly in the summer due to beach related activities. 9. Heavy traffic is common on the City streets and roadways. There are two state highways (Beach Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway)and a major freeway(I-405)routed through the City. i 10.
