Clean-up of contaminated soil and property shall be in accordance with state, federal or local regulations as follows: l 1" Clean-up Criteria. Soils sampled during site assessments that fail California Assessment Manual (CAM) criteria for hazardous waste will be excavated and disposed of at a proper disposal site. Laboratory tests used in this detennination are pH (EPA-9045), CAM Metals (total), and Volatile Chlorinated and Aromatic Hydrocarbons (EPA-8240) as described on Page 4 - Site Assessment and Laboratory Specifications. 2. 2°d Clean-up Criteria. Comparison of the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon(TPH) concentration in soils sampled during the site assessment shall be made with the screening criteria in Table 1. If the sample results meet the Table 1 criteria, no further testing or remediation work shall be required. If the TPH exceeds the screening criteria, the laboratory will perfonn the additional analyses specified (EPA-8020, EPA-8270). Further delineation of the contaminated soil through use of additional borings, additional trenches or by excavation and stockpiling must be performed to detennine the lateral and vertical li ia,42 Ordinance No.3786 extent of soil exceeding Table 1 criteria. Samples obtained during this delineation will be analyzed for screening criteria listed in Table 1 (EPA-418.1 and EPA-8015). if sample results exceed the screening criteria in Table 1, the laboratory shall be instructed to run the analyses specified in Table 2 (EPA-8020, EPA-8270)unless the applicant chooses to excavate the contaminated soil to meet criteria in Table I without proceeding to further analyses specified in Table 2. Soils which contain less than the screening levels specified in Table 2 shall not be required to undergo soil remediation provided that EPA 418.1 and EPA 8015M Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon concentrations are less than 100% excess of Table I screening criteria levels. Table 1 Screen in Level for Hydrocarbon Clean-up Land Use TPH (418.1) TPH (8015N1) Residential and Recreational <500 ppm <500 ppm Commercial and Industrial <1,000 ppm <1,000 ppm Roadway 0'—4' Below Road Surface N/A <1,000 ppm Total; <100 ppm of the<C14 component >4' Below Road Surface <1,000 ppm <1,000 ppm Table 2 Sc eening Level for Hydrocarbon Cl an-up Land Use BTX & >E (8021) PNA (8270)' Residential and Recreational B< 1.0 PPM Each CAPNA <0.5 ppm T, X & E< 10.0 ppm individually Total CAPNA's<3.0 ppm Commercial and Industrial B< 1.0 PPM Each CAPNA <1.0 ppm T, X & E< 10.0 ppm individually Total CAPNA's <6.0 ppm Roadwav 0' —4' Below Road Surface B<1.0 ppm Each CAPNA<1.0 ppm T,X & E<I0.0 ppm individually Total CAPNA's<6.0 ppm >4' Below Road Surface B<1.0 ppm Each CAPNA <1.0 ppm T, X & E<10.0 ppm individually Total CAPNA's <6.0 ppm Based on CAPNA's found in Proposition 65 list in addition to benzo(g,hj)perylene. 3. Depth of contaminated soil removal. Soil contamination in excess of the Tables l and 2 criteria extending deeper than 20 feet below ultimate finished grade or within five (5) feet of the groundwater table, whichever is shallower; and not exhibiting characteristics of material considered hazardous for disposal purposes, may be considered for non-remediation. Approval 18 14�4-' Ordinance No.3786 for non-remediation shall be by certification of the Fire Department and shall be issued with appropriate findings. The lateral and vertical extent of this contaminated material left in place shall be determined using Table I criteria. This extent shall be reported to the City and disclosed to subsequent property owners in a format approved by the Fire Department. Surface structures within 100 feet of the lateral extent of the contaminated soil shall be built with vapor barriers in accordance with applicable City Specifications. 4. Disposition of stockpiled soil. Soil that is stockpiled on-site as a result of criteria applied above can be evaluated for reuse on-site. The reuse options may include,but are not limited to, on-site remediation and re-sampling to meet the criteria in Table 1 and/or 2, or reuse of the soil as road subgrade where applicable. Specifications for reuse of crude oil contaminated soil as road subgrade are identified on Page 5. Sol] that is planned for reuse on-site should be sampled at a frequency sufficient to adequately characterize the degree and composition of the contamination. A sampling plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department for approval prior to reuse. 5. On-site remediation. Soil can be remediated on-site as long as it does not exhibit any characteristics of material considered hazardous for disposal purposes. On-site remediation must comply with all applicable State, County, Federal and City regulations. Remediation activities shall be perfonned within a designated area. A remediation plan shall be approved by the Fire Department. After soil is remediated and reused, the surface of the designated remediation area shall be tested in accordance with provisions identified herein above. A testing plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department for approval as well as a final report, which shall summarize the remediation efforts and post remediation test results. 6. Site assessment and laboratory specifications. Analyses performed during site assessments of oil fields (other industrial or agricultural uses may require additional analysis) should include pH (EPA-9045), CAM Metals (total only, soluble if total exceeds 10 times STLC), Volatile Hydrocarbons (EPA-8240), Total Recoverable Hydrocarbons (EPA-418.1), Total Fuel Hydrocarbons (EPA-8015), Semi-Volatile Organics (EPA-8270) and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (EPA-8080). Vertical limits of hydrocarbon contamination shall be assessed. Sampling shall extend to a depth sufficient to identify at least five (5) feet of uncontaminated soil or to a depth not greater than five (5) feet above the water table in cases where regional groundwater will be impacted by sampling operations. If the landowner chooses to clean-up the site using screening criteria specified in Table 2, the laboratory analytical work may specify the re-analyses of samples exceeding screening criteria specified in Table 1. The shelf life for the samples must not be exceeded when the re-analyses are run. 19 ia:a: Ordinance No. 3786 The laboratory contract shall specify use of EPA Method 3630 as a clean-up procedure prior to soil analysis for CAPNA's using EPA-8270 if the 418.1 results show greater than 1,000 ppm. Samples representative of a specific site should be obtained consistent with a Phase I historical review of the site. The sampling frequency will vary depending on potential for on-site contamination. Sampling should be targeted at identified or suspected contaminated locations on the site. Sampling of areas not suspected to be contaminated shall be done on a random basis according to a Sampling Plan, which shall be approved by the Fire Department. The Sampling Protocol, both in terins of site-specific targets and other random sampling, should be formulated in cooperation with the Fire Department. The burden of demonstrating soil clean- up to established limits of contamination shall be the responsibility of the land owner. The Fire Department's approval of a Sampling Protocol shall be required. A Site Auditor shall be a requirement placed on all significantly large oil field properties and on smaller properties where a reasonable large number of contamination sources are deemed to remain unsampled following completion of the approved Sampling Protocol. The requirement for a Site Auditor shall be at the discretion of the Fire Department. Soil sampling shall be carried out using protocols approved by the California Leaking Underground Fuel Tank Manual and/or the Orange County Health Department. Analytical results, which may be inconsistent or anomalous when compared to other sample data taken as part of the site assessment shall be made a part of the record although the landowner shall have the option of providing additional samples to clarify inconsistencies. The number and location of these samples shall be determined by the landowner. 7. Specifications for Reuse of Crude Oil Contaminated Soils as Road Subgrade. Soils must meet criteria listed in Table 1 and 2. Reused soils must meet compaction requirements. Reused soils shall be placed directly beneath the asphalt cap and underlying aggregate to a maximum depth of four(4) feet below the road surface. Fills deeper than four (4) feet must be approved by the Fire Department based on sufficient findings. Potable drinking water lines must be surrounded by clean sand or gavel and approved and inspected by the appropriate City departments before burial in the roadway. A detailed set of drawings must be submitted to the City showing the plan view of reused soils, a cross section of the road base, locations of utility lines and thickness of clean sand and gravel pack placed around these lines. Soil analysis data for the road fill must also be submitted which shall verify compliance with the standards listed in Table 1 and/or Table 2. 20 14'42 Ordinance No.3786 8.

Depth of contaminated soil removal. Soil contamination in excess of the Tables 1 and 2 criteria extending deeper than 20 feet below ultimate finished grade or within five (5) feet of the groundwater table, whichever is shallower, and not exhibiting characteristics of material considered hazardous for disposal purposes, may be considered for non-remediation. Approval for non-remediation shall be by certification of the Fire Department and shall be issued with appropriate findings. The lateral and vertical extent of this contaminated material left in place shall be determined using Table 1 criteria. This extent shall be reported to the City and disclosed to subsequent property owners in a forinat approved by the Fire Department. Surface structures within 100 feet of the lateral extent of the contaminated soil shall be built with vapor barriers in accordance with applicable City Specifications. 4. Disposition of stockpiled soil. Soil that is stockpiled on-site as a result of criteria applied above can be evaluated for reuse on-site. The reuse options may include,but are not limited to, on-site remediation and re-sampling to meet the criteria in Table 1 and/or 2, or reuse of the soil as road subgrade where applicable. Specifications for reuse of crude oil contaminated soil as road subgrade are identified on Page 5. Soil that is planned for reuse on-site should be sampled at a frequency sufficient to adequately characterize the degree and composition of the contamination. A sampling plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department for approval prior to reuse. 5. On-site remediation. Soil can be remediated on-site as long as it does not exhibit any characteristics of material considered hazardous for disposal purposes. On-site remediation must comply with all applicable State, County, Federal and City regulations. Remediation activities shall be performed within a designated area. A remediation plan shall be approved by the Fire Department. After soil is remediated and reused, the surface of the designated remediation area shall be tested in accordance with provisions identified herein above. A testing plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department for approval as well as a final report, which shall summarize the remediation efforts and post remediation test results. 6. Site assessment and laboratory specifications. Analyses performed during site assessments of oil fields (other industrial or agricultural uses may require additional analysis) should include pH (EPA-9045), CAM Metals (total only, soluble if total exceeds 10 times STLC), Volatile Hydrocarbons (EPA-8240), Total Recoverable Hydrocarbons (EPA-418.1), Total Fuel Hydrocarbons (EPA-8015), Semi-Volatile Organics (EPA-8270) and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (EPA-8080). Vertical limits of hydrocarbon contamination shall be assessed. Sampling shall extend to a depth sufficient to identify at least five (5) feet of uncontaminated soil or to a depth not greater than five (5) feet above the water table in cases where regional groundwater will be impacted by sampling operations. 16 14343 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT If the landowner chooses to clean-up the site using screening criteria specified in Table 2, the laboratory analytical work may specify the re-analyses of samples exceeding screening criteria specified in Table 1. The shelf life for the samples must not be exceeded when the re-analyses are run. The laboratory contract shall specify use of EPA Method 3630 as a clean-up procedure prior to soil analysis for CAPNA's using EPA-8270 if the 418.1 results show greater than 1,000 ppm. Samples representative of a specific site should be obtained consistent with a Phase I historical review of the site. The sampling frequency will vary depending on potential for on-site contamination. Sampling should be targeted at identified or suspected contaminated locations on the site. Sampling of areas not suspected to be contaminated shall be done on a random basis according to a Sampling Plan, which shall be approved by the Fire Department. The Sampling Protocol, both in terms of site-specific targets and other random sampling, should be formulated in cooperation with the Fire Department. The burden of demonstrating soil clean- up to established limits of contamination shall be the responsibility of the land owner. The Fire Department's approval of a Sampling Protocol shall be required.

Alternative Action(s).: 1 Continue action on the proposed adoption of the 2007 Edition of the CFC to obtain additional information. 2. Deny the adoption of the 2007 Edition of the CFC. REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/19/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 07-013 Analysis: This is the Public Hearing and the second reading of the accompanying ordinance (Attachment 1). The first reading was on October 15, 2007. 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 2007 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 starting January 1, 2008. In order to amend this Code to meet our local conditions and special hazards that do not exist in all jurisdictions, the City needs to officially adopt it by ordinance prior to January 1, 2008. The ordinance will then be known as the Huntington Beach Fire Code. If the Code is not adopted as such, it will become law by default without amendments. Furthermore, adopting the 2007 California Fire Code would coincide with the adoption of the 2007 California Building Code by the Building and Safety Department, scheduled for November 19, 2007. The 2007 California Building Code is published by the California Building Standards Commission. It is a sister publication of the 2007 California Fire Code, which coordinates code references between the two publications to prevent conflicting code sections. It is important to adopt these two publications hand-in-hand. The City of Huntington Beach amendments to the California Fire Code appear in the Legislative Draft of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) 17.56 (Attachment 2). The California Building Standards Commission requires that amendments to the California Building Code Standards be supported by findings of fact. These findings of fact are also contained in the proposed ordinance. A summary of the changes to the 2007 edition of the California Fire Code is included as Attachment 3. If the ordinance is adopted at this meeting, it would become effective 30 days after its adoption. In accordance with State law, actual CFC implementation would occur on January 1, 2008. Strategic Plan Goal: C-2 Provide quality public service with the highest professional standards to meet community expectations and needs.

Findings. The following findings are hereby adopted in support of Chapter 17.56 and the amendments thereto. The findings shall not be codified. FINDINGS The City of Huntington Beach is aware that due to the following climatic, geological and topographical conditions there is potential for disasters and major fires. Climatic Conditions The City of Huntington Beach is located in a semi-arid coastal plain. It experiences periods of moderate temperatures with little or no precipitation and periods of stone activity with associated rainfall. 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). 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. 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 Mountains and flows through many communities until it terminates in the ocean at the Huntington Beach/Newport 1 Ordinance No. 3786 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 The City of Huntington Beach is located in an area of high seismic activity. The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs through the City, which fault 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. Major earthquakes are always accompanied by the disruption of traffic flow. Fires caused by damaged flammable gas piping, ruptured fuel storage tanks and electrical arching are probable. The Fire Department responses 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. The City is located in a low to moderate tsunamis 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. Topographical Conditions The City has a population of 200,000 people in 29 square miles. The daytime population increases significantly in the summer due to beach related activities. 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. There are also narrow alleys and numerous 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. The following modifications to the Huntington Beach Fire Code, specifically affect the California Fire Code and are required due to local climatic, geological and topographical conditions within the City of Huntington Beach: A. Section 17.56.310 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code: l. The City is in a high seismic hazard zone subject to earthquakes of a significant magnitude to produce major damage. 2. This amendment would require an increased level of fire and life safety systems in buildings meeting the definition. An earthquake has the potential to impact fire department response time. The increased level of built in protection may reduce the impact of increased response times on life safety. B. Sections 17.56.180-17.56.410 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code: ia,a_ Ordinance No. 3786 l. The City is in a high seismic hazard zone. 2. Much of the City is in a historical flood plain. 3. Any of the above conditions can effect fire department response times. The increased sprinkler and fire protection system requirements are to increase the level of life safety in these buildings. 4. The findings contained in Ordinance No. 3769, adopted on June 18, 2007, are incorporated by this reference as though fully set herein. C. Sections 17.56.460-17.56.480 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code: l. Much of the City is located in a historical flood plain. 2. The City is in a high seismic area. 3. Many areas of the City contain soils that are corrosive. 4. Many areas of the City contain soils that are expansive when subjected to excessive moisture. 5. Providing proper size, installation, separation and protection of tanks and associated components will minimize the risks of deterioration and damage to the storage tanks and associated piping, valves, fittings and wiring. 6. Pacific storms that create flooding will have a major adverse effect on both aboveground and belowground tanks. SECTION 2.

Sampling shall extend to a depth sufficient to identify at least five (5) feet of uncontaminated soil or to a depth not greater than five (5) feet above the water table in cases where regional groundwater will be impacted by sampling operations. If the landowner chooses to clean-up the site using screening criteria specified in Table 2, the laboratory analytical work may specify the re-analyses of samples exceeding screening criteria specified in Table 1. The shelf life for the samples must not be exceeded when the re-analyses are run. 19 W 4_1 Ordinance No.3786 The laboratory contract shall specify use of EPA Method 3630 as a clean-up procedure prior to soil analysis for CAPNA's using EPA-8270 if the 418.1 results show greater than 1,000 ppm. Samples representative of a specific site should be obtained consistent with a Phase l historical review of the site. The sampling frequency will vary depending on potential for on-site contamination. Sampling should be targeted at identified or suspected contaminated locations on the site. Sampling of areas not suspected to be contaminated shall be done on a random basis according to a Sampling Plan, which shall be approved by the Fire Department. The Sampling Protocol, both in teens of site-specific targets and other random sampling, should be formulated in cooperation with the Fire Department. The burden of demonstrating soil clean- up to established limits of contamination shall be the responsibility of the land owner. The Fire Department's approval of a Sampling Protocol shall be required. A Site Auditor shall be a requirement placed on all significantly large oil field properties and on smaller properties where a reasonable large number of contamination sources are deemed to remain unsampled following completion of the approved Sampling Protocol. The requirement for a Site Auditor shall be at the discretion of the Fire Department. Soil sampling shall be carried out using protocols approved by the California Leaking Underground Fuel Tank Manual and/or the Orange County Health Department. Analytical results, which may be inconsistent or anomalous when compared to other sample data taken as part of the site assessment shall be made a part of the record although the landowner shall have the option of providing additional samples to clarify inconsistencies. The number and location of these samples shall be determined by the landowner. 7. Specifications for Reuse of Crude Oil Contaminated Soils as Road Subgrade. Soils must meet criteria listed in Table 1 and 2. Reused soils must meet compaction requirements. Reused soils shall be placed directly beneath the asphalt cap and underlying aggregate to a maximum depth of four(4) feet below the road surface. Fills deeper than four(4) feet must be approved by the Fire Department based on sufficient findings. Potable drinking water lines must be surrounded by clean sand or gravel and approved and inspected by the appropriate City departments before burial in the roadway. A detailed set of drawings must be submitted to the City showing the plan view of reused soils, a cross section of the road base. locations of utility lines and thickness of clean sand and gravel pack placed around these lines_ Soil analysis data for the road fill must also be submitted which shall verify compliance with the standards listed in Table 1 and/or Table 2. 20 Ordinance No. 3786 8.

Soft spongy soils that become evident as heavy equipment travels over it. b. Hydrocarbon odors emanating from the soil. c. A reading of greater than 20 ppm on a hand-held organic vapor monitor(OVM)held three(3) inches from suspected contaminated soils. The meter shall be calibrated at least twice per day. d. A small vial of solvent can be used to extract a small amount of soil. If the solvent becomes discolored, petroleum may be present. If any of the indicators above are found, the Auditor shall devise a sampling program capable of ascertaining whether or not the waste is classified as hazardous. All sampling procedures shall be in accordance with the protocols established by LUFT and/or the Orange County Health Department. The contamination citing shall be made a part of the record and the Fire Department shall be immediately notified. Sufficient samples shall be analyzed to characterize the vertical and horizontal extent of the potential contaminant. If samples exceed the screening criteria in Table 1, the soil must either be removed or reanalyzed and compared to criteria in Table 2. If the soil is determined to meet the Table 2 criteria, the soil can be incorporated into the fill. If it does not, the soil can be stockpiled for remediation and reuse or removed from the site.

Clean-up of contaminated soil and property shall be in accordance with state, federal or local regulations as follows: 1. 1" Clean-up Criteria. Soils sampled during site assessments that fail California Assessment Manual (CAM) criteria for hazardous waste will be excavated and disposed of at a proper disposal site. Laboratory tests used in this determination are pH (EPA-9045), CAM Metals (total), and Volatile Chlorinated and Aromatic Hydrocarbons (EPA-8240) as described on Page 4 - Site Assessment and Laboratory Specifications. 2 2nd Clean-up Criteria. Comparison of the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration in soils sampled during the site assessment shall be made with the screening criteria in Table 1. If the sample results meet the Table 1 criteria, no further testing or remediation work shall be required. 14 14343 LEGISLATIVE ®RAFT If the TPH exceeds the screening criteria, the laboratory will perform the additional analyses specified (EPA-8020, EPA-8270). Further delineation of the contaminated soil through use of additional borings, additional trenches or by excavation and stockpiling must be performed to determine the lateral and vertical extent of soil exceeding Table 1 criteria. Samples obtained during this delineation will be analyzed for screening criteria listed in Table 1 (EPA-418.1 and EPA-8015). If sample results exceed the screening criteria in Table 1, the laboratory shall be instructed to run the analyses specified in Table 2 (EPA-8020, EPA-8270)unless the applicant chooses to excavate the contaminated soil to meet criteria in Table I without proceeding to further analyses specified in Table 2. Soils which contain less than the screening levels specified in Table 2 shall not be required to undergo soil remediation provided that EPA 418.1 and EPA 8015M Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon concentrations are less than 100% excess of Table l screening criteria levels.

Depth of contaminated soil removal. Soil contamination in excess of the Tables 1 and 2 criteria extending deeper than 20 feet below ultimate finished grade or within five (5) feet of the groundwater table, whichever is shallower, and not exhibiting characteristics of material considered hazardous for disposal purposes,may be considered for non-remediation. Approval for non-remediation shall be by certification of the Fire Department and shall be issued with appropriate findings. The lateral and vertical extent of this contaminated material left in place shall be detennined using Table I criteria. This extent shall be reported to the City and disclosed to subsequent property owners in a format approved by the Fire Department. Surface structures within 100 feet of the lateral extent of the contaminated soil shall be built with vapor barriers in accordance with applicable City Specifications. 4. Disposition of stockpiled soil. Soil that is stockpiled on-site as a result of criteria applied above can be evaluated for reuse on-site. The reuse options may include,but are not limited to, on-site remediation and re-sampling to meet the criteria in Table 1 and/or 2, or reuse of the soil as road subgrade where applicable. Specifications for reuse of crude oil contaminated soil as road subgrade are identified on Page 5. Soil that is planned for reuse on-site should be sampled at a frequency sufficient to adequately characterize the degree and composition of the contamination. A sampling plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department for approval prior to reuse. 5. On-site remediation. Soil can be remediated on-site as long as it does not exhibit any characteristics of material considered hazardous for disposal purposes. On-site remediation must comply with all applicable State, County, Federal and City regulations. Remediation activities shall be perfonned within a designated area. A remediation plan shall be approved by the Fire Department. After soil is remediated and reused, the surface of the designated remediation area shall be tested in accordance with provisions identified herein above. A testing plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department for approval as well as a final report, which shall summarize the remediation efforts and post remediation test results. 6. Site assessment and laboratory specifications. Analyses performed during site assessments of oil fields (other industrial or agricultural uses may require additional analysis) should include pH (EPA-9045), CAM Metals (total only, soluble if total exceeds 10 times STLC), Volatile Hydrocarbons (EPA-8240), Total Recoverable Hydrocarbons (EPA-418.1), Total Fuel Hydrocarbons (EPA-8015), Semi-Volatile Organics (EPA-8270) and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (EPA-8080). Vertical limits of hydrocarbon contamination shall be assessed. Sampling shall extend to a depth sufficient to identify at least five (5) feet of uncontaminated soil or to a depth not greater than five (5) feet above the water table in cases where regional groundwater will be impacted by sampling operations. 16 14343 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT If the landowner chooses to clean-up the site using screening criteria specified in Table 2, the laboratory analytical work may specify the re-analyses of samples exceeding screening criteria. specified in Table 1. The shelf life for the samples must not be exceeded when the re-analyses are run. The laboratory contract shall specify use of EPA Method 3630 as a clean-up procedure prior to soil analysis for CAPNA's using EPA-8270 if the 418.1 results show greater than 1,000 ppm. Samples representative of a specific site should be obtained consistent with a Phase 1 historical review of the site. The sampling frequency will vary depending on potential for on-site contamination. Sampling should be targeted at identified or suspected contaminated locations on the site. Sampling of areas not suspected to be contaminated shall be done on a random basis according to a Sampling Plan,which shall be approved by the Fire Department. The Sampling Protocol,both in terms of site-specific targets and other random sampling, should be formulated in cooperation with the Fire Department. The burden of demonstrating soil clean- up to established limits of contamination shall be the responsibility of the land owner. The Fire Department's approval of a Sampling Protocol shall be required. A Site Auditor shall be a requirement placed on all significantly large oil field properties and on smaller properties where a reasonable large number of contamination sources are deemed to remain unsampled following completion of the approved Sampling Protocol. The requirement for a Site Auditor shall be at the discretion of the Fire Department. Soil sampling shall be carried out using protocols approved by the California Leaking Underground Fuel Tank Manual and/or the Orange County Health Department. Analytical results,which may be inconsistent or anomalous when compared to other sample data taken as part of the site assessment shall be made a part of the record although the landowner shall have the option of providing additional samples to clarify inconsistencies. The number and location of these samples shall be determined by the landowner. 7. Specifications for Reuse of Crude Oil Contaminated Soils as Road Subgrade. Soils must meet criteria listed in Table I and 2. Reused soils must meet compaction requirements. Reused soils shall be placed directly beneath the asphalt cap and underlying aggregate to a maximum depth of four (4) feet below the road surface. Fills deeper than four(4) feet must be approved by the Fire Department based on sufficient findings. Potable drinking water lines must be surrounded by clean sand or gravel and approved and inspected by the appropriate City departments before burial in the roadway. 17 14343 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT A detailed set of drawings must be submitted to the City showing the plan view of reused soils, a cross section of the road base, locations of utility lines and thickness of clean sand and gravel pack placed around these lines. Soil analysis data for the road fill must also be submitted which shall verify compliance with the standards listed in Table I and/or Table 2. 8.

The Auditor shall be licensed by the State of California as a Registered Environmental Assessor. Auditors will monitor grading activities for indicators that petroleum hydrocarbons may have contaminated the soils and shall be aware of the situations and procedures: a. Soft spongy soils that become evident as heavy equipment travels over it. b. Hydrocarbon odors emanating from the soil. c. A reading of greater than 20 ppm on a hand-held organic vapor monitor(OVM)held three (3) inches from suspected contaminated soils. The meter shall be calibrated at least twice per day. d. A small vial of solvent can be used to extract a small amount of soil. If the solvent becomes discolored, petroleum may be present. If any of the indicators above are found; the Auditor shall devise a sampling program capable of ascertaining whether or not the waste is classified as hazardous. All sampling procedures shall be in accordance with the protocols established by LUFT and/or the Orange County Health Department. The contamination citing shall be made a part of the record and the Fire Department shall be immediately notified. Sufficient samples shall be analyzed to characterize the vertical and horizontal extent of the potential contaminant. If samples exceed the screening criteria in Table 1, the soil must either be removed or reanalyzed and compared to criteria in Table 2. If the soil is determined to meet the Table 2 criteria, the soil can be incorporated into the fill. if it does not, the soil can be stockpiled for remediation and reuse or removed from the site.

Alternative Action(s): Do not introduce the Ordinance. REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/15/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 07-011 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 2007 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 starting January 1, 2008. In order to amend this Code to meet our local conditions and special hazards that do not exist in all jurisdictions, the City needs to officially adopt this code by ordinance (Attachment 1) prior to January 1, 2008; therefore, it is important that any revisions be made at the time of introduction. The ordinance will then be known as the Huntington Beach Fire Code. If this Code is not adopted as such it will become law by default without amendments. Furthermore, adopting the 2007 California Fire Code would coincide with the adoption of the 2007 California Building Code by the Building and Safety Department, scheduled for November 19, 2007. The 2007 California Building Code is published by the California Building Standards Commission. It is a sister publication of the 2007 California Fire Code, which coordinates code references between the two publications to prevent conflicting code sections. It is important to adopt these two publications hand-in-hand. The City of Huntington Beach amendments to the California Fire Code appear in the Legislative Draft of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) 17.56 (Attachment 2). The California Building Standards Commission requires that amendments to the California Building Code Standards be supported by findings of fact. These findings of fact are also contained in the proposed ordinance shown as Attachment 1. A summary of the changes to the 2007 edition of the California Fire Code is included as Attachment 3. If the ordinance is introduced at this meeting, a public hearing would be scheduled for the City Council meeting of November 19, 2007, at which time adoption could also take place. The ordinance would become effective 30 days after its adoption. Strategic Plan Goal: C-2 City Services: Provide quality public service with the highest professional standards to meet community expectations and needs, assuring that the city is sufficiently staffed and equipped overall. Environmental Status: None. -2- 9/27/2007 7:27 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/15/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 07-011 Attachment(s): 1.

Findings. The following findings are hereby adopted in support of Chapter 17.56 and the amendments thereto. The findings shall not be codified. FINDINGS The City of Huntington Beach is aware.that due to the following climatic, geological and topographical conditions there is potential for disasters and major fires. Climatic Conditions The City of Huntington Beach is located in a semi-arid coastal plain. It experiences periods of moderate temperatures with little or no precipitation and periods of stone activity with associated rainfall. 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). 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. The southern boundary of the City is along the Pacific Ocean. Winter storms and tropical stonns 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 Mountains and flows through many communities until it terminates in the ocean at the Huntington Beach/Newport 1 Ordinance No.3786 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 The City of Huntington Beach is located in an area of high seismic activity. The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs through the City, which fault 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. Major earthquakes are always accompanied by the disruption of traffic flow. Fires caused by damaged flammable gas piping, ruptured fuel storage tanks and electrical arching are probable. The Fire Department responses 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. The City is located in a low to moderate tsunamis 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. Topographical Conditions The City has a population of 200,000 people in 29 square miles. The daytime population increases significantly in the summer due to beach related activities. 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. There are also narrow alleys and numerous 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. The following modifications to the Huntington Beach Fire Code, specifically affect the California Fire Code and are required due to local climatic, geological and topographical conditions within the City of Huntington Beach: A. Section 17.56.310 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code: 1. The City is in a high seismic hazard zone subject to earthquakes of a significant magnitude to produce major damage. 2. This amendment would require an increased level of fire and life safety systems in buildings meeting the definition. An earthquake has the potential to impact fire department response time. The increased level of built in protection may reduce the impact of increased response times on life safety. B. Sections l 7.56.180-17.56.410 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code: 14�4_ Ordinance No.3786 1. The City is in a high seismic hazard zone. 2. Much of the City is in a historical flood plain. 3. Any of the above conditions can effect fire department response times. The increased sprinkler and fire protection system requirements are to increase the level of life safety in these buildings. 4. The findings contained in Ordinance No. 3769, adopted on June 18, 2007, are incorporated by this reference as though fully set herein. C. Sections 17.56.460-17.56.480 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code: 1. Much of the City is located in a historical flood plain. 2. The City is in a high seismic area. 3. Many areas of the City contain soils that are corrosive. 4. Many areas of the City contain soils that are expansive when subjected to excessive moisture. 5. Providing proper size, installation, separation and protection of tanks and associated components will minimize the risks of deterioration and damage to the storage tanks and associated piping, valves, fittings and wiring. 6. Pacific stonns that create flooding will have a major adverse effect on both aboveground and belowground tanks. SECTION 2.
