REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 7/16/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: 07-042
Analysis: In 2002, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) issued
Order No. R8-2002-0014 which required the City to develop several programs to prevent
sanitary sewer overflows. The final deliverable to meet this Order was the development of a
Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (SSMP) which was completed on September 30, 2005.
An intermediate deliverable, the SSMP "Development Plan and Schedule," which described
how the City would meet the various other deliverables and their associated due dates, was
also prepared and submitted to the RWQCB on September 30, 2002.
In 2006, the State Water Resources Control Board issued Order No. 2006-0003, which is
substantially verbatim to the RWQCB Order, to cover the entire state. By virtue of the City's
compliance with the RWQCB Order, only minimal effort is required to meet the requirements
as stipulated in the State's Order. The State Order requires that the SSMP Development
Plan and Schedule be approved by the local governing board, while the RWQCB Order did
not. Therefore, the previously prepared Development Plan and Schedule is being submitted
for approval to meet this requirement.
Strategic Plan Goal:
(1-1) Improve the City's plan for funding and completing infrastructure needs, and develop
strategies for resolving crucial infrastructure problems to preserve the physical foundation of
the community and enable the community's value to grow.
Public Works Commission Action: No action necessary.
Environmental Status: Not applicable

(ii) There were no feasible alternatives to the
discharge,such as retention of untreated

reduced inflow and infiltration.This
provision is also not satisfied if the agency
does not undergo a periodic or continuing
