Thank you, Lea -----Original Message ----- From: Kappeler, John [mailto:3Kappeler@city.newport-beach.ca.us7 Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 4:43 PM To: Lea Umnas Cc: Ruby Maldonado Subject: RE: WQMPs Hi Lea, A few general comments, but pretty significant. 1. The WQMP errors by stating the discharge does not make it into an ASBS, when in fact it does. Morning Canyon drains into the Newport Beach Marine Life Refuge. Technically, per the State Water Board all dry -weather flows must be eliminated and stormwater flows must not contain any waste. The WQMP applicant will need to address the ASBS issue. 2. The WQMP proposes a stormscreen not a stormfilter. A stormscreen does not adequately address the pollutants of concern as listed in the WQMP. 3. The City of Newport Beach has standard residential french drain designs the applicant will want to look at and evaluate for his particular site.

Since, as your report has revealed, location of all area drains are unknown, the approval of this WQMP is conditioned upon resubmitting for approval a revised WQMP that will address the issue of area drains. 2) Page 12. Treatment BMPs. On page 2, your report proposed a treatment BMP, mechanical treatment BMP or equivalent. Your report will provide details of the proprietary system or custom design details as part of this WQMP. Manufacture's proprietary product specification and literature shall include design parameters and sizing to treat the drainage site Q for a reasonable storm event ( Q100, Q50, Q25, Q10). The 8x16 precast stormscreen data block, and details as submitted do not demonstrate its capacity to treat any Q, peak flow, etc; details as submitted did not specify pipe size, number of filter cartridges, cartridge flow rate, filter media type, etc. Clarify. 3) Page 12. Treatment BMPs. The WQMP shall discuss the feasibility of using vegetative swale/strips to treat "flrst flush" pollutant from roof and site drainage. There is no justification for report's conclusion that area constraints makes vegetative swale/strip infeasible. Also, the WQMP shall discuss drainage from roof -gutter and how and where this drainage is treated prior to entering into County 'storm drain system. A clever landscape plans can be designed with sufficient flexibility to accommodate the need for treating roof drainage. Call out TC-30,31 and give numerical dimensions. 4) Exhibit K, SWPPP. Your drainage design proposed a direct drainage connection which conveys drainage from a site area drain located adjacent to the swimming pool to a storm drain pipe located on the back -slope. Hence, your proposed drainage design bypassed the mechanical treatment BMP. Explain and clarify your design and intent. 7/26/2005 "/-I- GA Lj S 7t) l k' WQ 05-00bo, Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) For: "PELICAN HILL" TRACT NO. 15346 LOTS 12 AND 13 LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF THE PELICANS DRIVE 1-S AND AVALON VISTA INTERSECTION COUNTY OF ORANGE, CALIFORNIA Prepared for: Tushar Patel 620 Newport Center Drive Newport Beach, CA 92440 (949)610-8000 Prepared by: Hunsaker & Associates Irvine, Inc. 3 Hughes Irvine, CA 92618 Contact Person: Tommy Hsu (949)583-1010 Date Prepared: 3une 30, 2005 W.O.2671-12 `-7 Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) PELICAN HILL LOTS 12 AND 13 OF TRACT NO.15346 LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF PELICANS DRIVE AND AVALON VISTA INTERSECTION COUNTY OF ORANGE, CA OWNER'S CERTIFICATION WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN LOTS 12 AND 13 OF TRACT NO.15346 This Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) has been prepared for Tushar Patel by Hunsaker & Associates Irvine, Inc.

At current e �s t+ site address is not known. The total project area is approximately 1.29 acres. The proposed land use is consistent wit a ex g site zoning, 1B Suburban Residential. The site is located within the Newport Coast Planned Community. There is no development name for the project as it is a private residence. The project location is shown on the vicinity map of Exhibit A. The site is bounded to the northeast and southeast by vacant residential lots (Lots 11 and 14 of Tract 15346, respectively), on the east by Avalon Vista and on the northwest and southwest by an approximately 5- to 10-foot manufactured slope that is located above a natural slope that is In excess of 120 feet in height and descends at slope ratios that are predominantly 3:1 to 2:1, but are locally as steep as 1.5:1. More generally, Newport Coast Drive lies just south and east of the project site and PP11 n Hill Road is located north and west of the site, with the Pelican Hill Golf Course beyond ppendixJ refers . Wvwt l5 A-k-s'-? alai- 1roW-A- .N- ------------- Historicaliy, the site has been used for open space and ranchland. The original topography of the site was slightly rolling hills and has since been graded into the configuration of the project site by the Master Developer, Irvine Community Development Company. The site currently consists of two previously graded building pads that slope gently at a sheet flow gradient of approximately 2 percent toward the northwest. Ground surface elevation across the pads ranges from approximately 500 to 508 feet above mean sea level, creating a maximum vertical relief of approximately 8 feet. Drainage across the lot is by sheet flow at gradients varying from 1 to 2 percent toward existing storm drain inlets located at the back of the lot. At the time of the project's soils investigation in early 2005,2the slopes descending beyond the northwesterly side of the lots were covered by a moderate growth of landscape vegetation including groundcover, shrubs and occasional small trees. The building pads were vegetated with scattered weeds and grasses. The most recent grading for the site was performed in October of 1998 to January of 1999 and consisted of remedial removals and construction of placement keys within the interior of the tract, the construction of a side hill key along the western perimeter of the tract, and the construction of several Loffel walls. Lots 12 and 13 are cut/fill transition lot, with the majority of the lot underlain directly by bedrock. The rear portions of the lots are underlain by up to approximately 18 feet of fill and then bedrock. The upper portions of the descending slopes around the subject lots are also underlain by compacted fill. The slopes are supported by an approximately 20- to 25-foot-wide by 10-foot-deep side hill shear key. The compacted fill is supported at depth by native bedrock materials of the Monterey Formation. The bedrock materials were reported to consist of interbedded siliceous and non -siliceous siltstone and clayey siltstone with interbeds of clayey diatomaceous siltstone and fine sandstone. The soil investigation did not reveal the existence of any toxic material known to have been treated, stored, disposed, spilled, or leaked on the site. 1 Petra Geotechnical, Inc. March 22, 2005.

Anyway, to address your below email: - Thanks for the clarification on the stormfilter -vs- the stormscreen. I'm almost certain your earlier WQMP submittal listed a stormscreen as a treatment control bmp. The stormfilter is a better choice to address your pollutants of concern. - If a geotechnical engineer doesn't recommend percolation, then I'll certainly defer to their expertise. 12/07/2005 Message Page 2 of 3 - BMP's like prohibiting car washing, building washdowns, etc...) are fine, but in all honesty impossible to enforce. To clarify my earlier point, The City of Newport Beach received a letter from the State Water Resources Control Board telling us "dry and wet weather runoff into the Newport Beach Marine Life Refuge Area of Special Biological Significance is subject to the prohibition against waste discharges to an ASBS." (per the Ocean Plan). Furthermore, the letter tells us "you are required to cease discharging". The State Board is telling us not to discharge. - So you guys need to look at every bmp possible to mitigate runoff leaving this site. For example, how about replacing the turf with California natives? And as you know there are other things like pervious pavement, vegetated swales, high tech. Irrigation (as you mention above), directing roof runoff to landscape areas, etc... I hope this helps. I get daily expediting calls from your office, so again I apologize for the delayed response. Thanks, John Kappeler City of Newport Beach -----Original Message ----- From: Tommy Hsu [mailto:thsu@hunsaker.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 8:45 AM To: Kappeler, John Cc: Mary Harwood; Lea Umnas; Dan Gerken Subject: Patel Residence Tract 15346 Lots 12, 13 Hi John, Per Lea Umnas from the County of Orange's email, it is understood that the City of Newport does not allow dry weather flows to discharge from the site. However, based on our site conditions and the soils engineer recommendations, we are unable to percolate dry weather flows (other than irrigation water) into the site. Is the requirement on zero discharge applicable to hillside developments within Newport Beach as well? We can understand how they would appropriately apply to the beach areas, where percolation is not an issue. However, what would be the resolution based on our site constraints? We propose mandating best management practices onsite, such as prohibiting car washing from areas that will discharge to area drains and thus, to the storm drain system (we can allow for areas that discharge to sanitary sewer with the proper authorization); prohibiting wash down of any building areas -and hardscape, allowing for only vacuum sweeping of these areas; and stringent use of programmable water sensors, drip irrigation system, etc. to ensure that the landscape areas are properly irrigated, with minimal (targeted zero) runoff. The propose StormFilter units do contain a pre-treatment chamber, which would hold any nuisance flows. In the event that the measures proposed above would not suffice, we can remove the dry weather flows from the pretreatment chamber (based on the practices above, this level should be minimal if not zero volume) and discharge to the sanitary sewer (with proper authorization). Also, Lea brought to our attention that Craig from StormFilter did contact her and she had forwarded the materials to you in regards to the efficacy of the proposed mechanical units. Please advise on this matter, and the matter previously addressed. Please let us know if you have any questions in regards to the proposed BMP measures, as well as any design questions. 12/07/2005 Message Page 3 of 3 Thanks, Tommy From: Lea Umnas[maiito:Lea.Umnas@rdmd.ocgov.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 5:23 PM To: Tommy Hsu Subject: RE: Patel Residence Tommy, We had a chance to review the letter from the soils engineer and we agree that soils engineer's justifications for not using percolation BMP are acceptable due to the expansive soil and slope stability. Be sure to include the specifics on the StormFilter System that will be implemented on the Patel Projects. Below are some comments from John Kappeler from the City of Newport Beach that he would like addressed. In regards to the soils letter he stated that that's fine and that percolation is just one of many suggested BMP's the consultant can look at. If a geotech engineer does not recommend percolation, then he'll defer to his expertise. However, John restates his earlier comments: The WQMP errors by stating the discharge does not make it into an ASBS, when in fact it does. Morning Canyon drains into the Newport Beach Marine Life Refuge. Technically, per the State Water Board all dry -weather flows must be eliminated and stormwater flows must not contain any waste. The WQMP applicant will need to address the ASBS issue. The consultant will likely have to propose some kind of treatment train to address the mandate from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) relative to the ASBS issue. I would suggest you work with John Kappeler with the City Newport Beach to discuss the BMPs. He may be reached at (949)-644-3218 and -via email JKappeler@citv.newport-beach.ca.us.

The development consists of a two-story private residence and related improvements. The approximately 1.29-acre lot includes land for the development of landscape areas (incorporating efficient irrigation designs), a swimming pool, an underground parking area, a private driveway and motor court, a recreation facility, a tennis court, water features and fountains, walkways, wet and dry utilities, storm drain lines and precise grading. Tushar Patel is the owner and developer for the proposed site improvements and will be responsible for all site improvements. The site is located within the Pelican Hill development and lies southwest of the intersection of Pelican Drive and Avalon Vista (Exhibit B refers). Currently, the site is bounded to the northeast and southeast by vacant residential lots (Lots 11 and 14 of Tract 15346, respectively), on the east by Avalon Vista and on the northwest and southwest by an approximately 5- to 10-foot manufactured slope that is located above a natural slope that is in excess of 120 feet in height and descends at slope ratios that are predominantly 3:1 to 2:1, but are locally as steep as 1.5:1. Current designs for the residence include 9,567.5 square feet of living area in the first floor of the residence. The second floor of the residence will consist of 8,252.5 square feet of living area. The basement level will include 2,804.5 square feet. Total square footage for the residence is 20,624.5 square feet. The recreation center will also be 2 stories and consist of 4,778 square feet in the first level and 6,444 square feet in the basement level, which will include the parking garage. Total square footage for the parking area is 11,222 square feet. At current, architectural details of the proposed housing structure are not known. Once the architecture of the housing structure is completed (at/near completion of Precise Grading Plans), information regarding bedroom size and the number of rooms shall be included in the Final WQMP. The pavilion and connecting trellis logia area will consist of 980.5 square feet. Total square footage of living area is 32,827 square feet. The project also proposes a 0.018 acre swimming pool located at the northwest portion of the project. Pool maintenance activities are discussed in Section IV of this WQMP. Paved project areas include walkways, driveways, planters, structure foundation and parking areas. The project proposes parking spaces in the subterranean parking garage located underneath the residential structure. The garage shall provide 12 parking spaces, including 1 handicap parking. Parking within the motor court (approximately 0.08 acres) located centrally in Lot 12 is also provided. Drainage from the subterranean parking area will be connected to the project's proposed treatment BMP. Entrance to the site will be provided via a shared access driveway located in Lot "I", just southeast of the project. Lot I shall be owned and maintained by the homeowner's association for the Pelican Hill community. The proposed driveway surface will consist of an Old World European cobble set on a sand base to allow onsite retention of all project dry weather/nuisance runoff flows. Walkway connections and patio edges .

Although the project's soils engineer advised against infiltration of runoff, the minimal levels involved with dry weather/nuisance flows anticipated for this site are considered acceptable' and would not pose a threat to the proposed project's foundations nor soil stability (See Attachment E for additional details). Open areas shall be located in the slopes northwest of the site. Landscape areas shall be located in various portions throughout the site and include lawns (southwestern portion of the Lot 13) and designated planters located throughout the site. All project landscaped areas are shown in Exhibit A. Total landscape area for the site is approximately 0.118 acres, or approximately 10% of the project area. All landscape areas will be equipped with state of the art landscape irrigation systems, which are further discussed in Section IV of this WQMP. Outdoor activities for the project include common residential activities such as commuting, jogging, walking, barbecuing, picnicking, swimming, sunbathing, entertaining and reading. The project site has a runoff coefficient of approximately 0.85 in a 100-year storm frequency and approximately 0% impervious area and 100% pervious area in its undeveloped state. Fully developed, the site has approximately 90% impervious area and 10% pervious area, with a runoff coefficient of approximately 0.93 in a 100-year storm frequency. Runoff from the site will be directed to the proposed onsite area drains. Currently, the locations of the proposed area drains are not known. Once the project approaches final, the locations of the area drains shall be provided and included in approved WQMP as an addendum. All site runoff will be conveyed to a Stormfilterp mechanical treatment BMP prior to discharging from site. The treatment device will be connected to the existing storm drain line previously constructed by the Master Developer and located at the northwestern corner of Lot 13. The flows will then be directed southwesterly off the lot behind adjacent Lots 12 and 13 and discharge northwesterly and westerly to the existing storm drain system at Pelican Hill Road, located northwest and downhill from the site. The storm drain system at Pelican Hill Road was constructed by the Master Developer, Irvine Community Development Company and is connected to the main County storm drain facility located within Newport Coast Drive. There is no HOA proposed for the project as it is a private residence. All project paved areas, area drains and BMPs, including landscaped areas, shall be owned and maintained by the property owner, Tushar Patel. Sewer and water lines outside of the property shall be owned and maintained by the Irvine Ranch Water District.

Therefore, there will not be any common area trash enclosures proposed for the project. The anticipated storm water or urban runoff pollutants reasonably expected to be associated with this project are: 1. Sediment. Driveways and roof --tops are expected to be common sources of sediment due to wear. 2. Nutrents Nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorous, and other compounds can be anticipated to be generated by or founding organic litter, fertilizers, food waste, sewage and sediment. 3. Bacteria and viruses, Anticipated sources include animal excrement (found in areas where pets are often walked), sanitary sewer overflow, and trash container handling areas. 4. Oi/and Grease. Potential sources of oil and grease include motor vehicles. S. Oxygen -Demanding Substances. Potential sources include biodegradable organic materials and various household chemicals, which deplete dissolved oxygen levels in water courses. 6. Pesticides Sources of pesticides include household bug -spray, weed killers and other household sources. . 7. Trash and Debris These sources include common litter, biodegradable organic matter such as leaves, grass cuttings and food wastes from landscaped areas and homeowners. This project is classified as a Priority Project, Category 5 per the Countywide Orange County Storm Water Program. Therefore, treatment control BMPs are required to remove pollutants typically associated with urban runoff. • Tushar Patel section II (f\c\wgmp\2671\12 D04•th.dx) October 28, 2005 Page 6 n PreliminaryWater Quality ManagementP/an (WQMP) PELICAN HILL LOTS 12 AND 13 OF TRACT NO. 15346 LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF PELICANS DRIVE AND AVALON VISTA INTERSECTION COUNTY OF ORANGE, CA Section III Site Description The project consists of Lots 12 and 13 of Tract 15346, located in the County of Orange, southwest of the intersection of Pelicans Drive and Avalon Vista, in the residential community of Pelican Hill. The address of the site is 15 Avalon Vista, Newport Coast planning area, County of Orange. The total project area is approximately 1.29 acres. The proposed land use is consistent with the existing site zoning, 1B Suburban Residential. The site is located within the Newport Coast Planned Community. There is no development name for the project as it is a private residence. The project location is shown on the vicinity map of Exhibit A. The site is bounded to the northeast and southeast by vacant residential lots (Lots 11 and 14 of Tract 15346, respectively), on the east by Avalon Vista and on the northwest and southwest by an approximately 5- to 10-foot manufactured slope that is located above a natural slope that is in excess of 120 feet in height and descends at slope ratios that are predominantly 3:1 to 2:1, but are locally as steep as 1.5:1. More generally, Newport Coast Drive lies just south and east of the project site and Pelican Hill Road is located north and west of the site, with the Pelican Hill Golf Course beyond (Exhibit B refers). Historically, the site has been used for open space and ranchland. The original topography of the site was slightly rolling hills and has since been graded into the configuration of the project site by the Master Developer, Irvine Community Development Company. The site currently consists of two .previously graded building pads that slope gently at a sheet flow gradient of approximately 2 percent toward the northwest. Ground surface elevation across the pads ranges from approximately 500 to 508 feet above mean sea level, creating a maximum vertical relief of approximately 8 feet. Drainage across the lot is by sheet flow at gradients varying from 1 to 2 percent toward existing storm drain inlets located at the back of the lot. At the time of the project's soils investigation in early 20052, the slopes descending beyond the northwesterly side of the lots were covered by a moderate growth of landscape vegetation including groundcover, shrubs and occasional small trees. The building pads were vegetated with scattered weeds and grasses. The most recent grading for the site was performed in October of 1998 to January of 1999 and consisted of remedial removals and construction of placement keys within the interior of the tract, the construction of a side hill key along the western perimeter of the tract, and the construction of several Loffel walls. Lots 12 and 13 are cut/rill transition lot, with the majority of the lot underlain directly by bedrock. The rear portions of the lots are underlain by up to approximately 18 feet of fill and then bedrock. The upper portions of the descending slopes around the subject lots are also underlain by compacted fill. The slopes are supported by an approximately 20- to 25-foot-wide by 10-foot-deep side hill shear key. The compacted fill is supported at depth by native bedrock materials of the Monterey Formation. The bedrock materials were reported to consist of interbedded siliceous and non -siliceous siitstone and clayey siltstone with interbeds of clayey diatomaceous siltstone and fine sandstone. The soil investigation did not reveal the existence of any toxic material known to have been treated, stored, disposed, spilled, or leaked on the site. 2 Petra Geotechnical, Inc. March 22, 2005.

Pre -construction, the site has a runoff coefficient of approximately 0.85 in a 100 year storm frequency and approximately 0% impervious area. Fully developed, the site has approximately 90% impervious area and 10% pervious area, with a runoff coefficient of approximately 0.93 in a 100-year storm frequency. Pre -project storm runoff flows in a northwesterly direction via sheet flow, prior to entering the existing drain constructed by the master developer located at the northwestern portion of the lot. Runoff is then conveyed northwesterly by an existing storm drain line to the existing storm drain facility located at Pelican Hill Road, located northwest and downhill from the site. In the developed condition, all of the site's storm water runoff will be conveyed to a proposed Stormfilter0 treatment BMP (or equivalent) located at the northwestern portion of the project site. The treatment system will be connected to the existing storm drain line located at the northwestern portion of the project. Project flows will be conveyed northwesterly to the existing storm drain system at Pelican Hill Road prior to discharging to the main County storm drain facility located along Newport Coast Drive. The County storm drain at Newport Coast Drive was designed by RBF Engineering and was originally identified as drawing "DR 15-15562 Pelican Hills Road", now known as County Facility No HOOP05. The storm drain system runs several thousand feet offsite to the southwest to Pacific Coast Highway prior to discharging to Morning Canyon. Project flows ultimately outfall to the Pacific Ocean. There are no pre- existing water quality problems within the proposed site. This project is located within the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). There are no known pre-existing water quality problems within the proposed site, nor does the proposed site contain any onsite "environmentally sensitive areas (ESA)" or areas of special biological significance (ASBS). However, runoff from the site does eventually discharge to Morning Canyon. Morning Canyon Creek has not been identified as an impaired water body for criteria pollutants of concern under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. There are currently no Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements established for Morning Canyon Creek within Orange County. However, Morning Canyon is considered an ASBS and ESA, as defined by the County of Orange Drainage Area Management Plan (2003). Based on the discharge requirements set forth in Section HI.E.1 of The Ocean Plan, no waste is to be discharged to areas designated as being of special biological significance. Additionally, all dry weather flows/nuisance flows have been prohibited from discharging to all ASBS within Newport Beach (See Attachment F). The project proposes to retain all dry weather flows onsite. The project proposes to retain all dry weather/nuisance flows onsite via the proposed structural BMPS, which include porous pavement, state of the art irrigation systems and programmable water sensors. These BMPs are further discussed in Section IV of this WQMP. Other biological environmental concerns for the site as well as downstream impacts of the entire Pelican Hill community were previously addressed in the EIR prepared for Tentative Tract Map No. 143673. • a Project Is covered under Final EIR No. 528, certified by the County of Orange on 10/28/91.

Site Design and Landscape Planning (SD-10) As a part of the design of all project landscape areas, similar planting materials with similar water requirements will be used in order to reduce excess irrigation runoff and promote surface filtration. Such areas will be maintained by Tushar Patel post -construction (Table 2, Figure A). 2. Roof Runoff Controls (SD-11) Each down drain carrying roof runoff will be conveyed to a box that will be designed to accommodate any nuisance flows. Any flows greater than nuisance flows will be allowed to bypass the box(s) to the proposed Stormfilter. For design purposes, nuisance flows will be based on 0.2 GPM/acre (footnote 1 on page 5 refers). These devices will be designed based on final architect plans that define the roof drain locations and roof areas. The locations and details of the roof runoff controls shall be provided in the project's Precise Grading Plans (yet to be completed) and the Final WQMP. 3. Landscape Area Efficient Irrigation (SD-12) As a part of the design of all landscape irrigation, implementation of the Orange County Water Conservation Resolution (Ord. No. 3802) including, but not limited to, such provisions as water sensors, programmable irrigation times (for short cycles), etc., will be used. Such areas will be . maintained by owner (Table 2, Figure A). More specifically, the site's landscape irrigation system will incorporate the use of automatic rain shut off valves, soil tensiometers to measure soil moisture level and water management, Irrigation controllers which allow multiple levels of separation of lawn versus ground cover and sun versus shade systems, and multiple short duration waterings to increase percolation and discourage runoff. Additionally, irrigation components such as low volume rotary stream spray heads and drip irrigation systems will be used to increase the duration of water application (decreases overall volume and allows time for percolation and evaporation) and thereby, controlling nuisance runoff. Spray irrigation systems will involve "trimming" of spray pattern layout to avoid wasteful overspray onto hardscape areas. Irrigation schedule will be limited to early morning and late evening to take advantage of low wind and cool temperatures to keep evapotranspiration to a minimum and conserve water. At current, the project is in the process of obtaining the rough grading permit. Therefore, the details of the project's irrigation designs are not known. These details shall be included in the project's Precise Grading Plans and in the Final WQMP. 4.

Design Objectives: The proposed development has incorporated by design, a shared access driveway (Lot "I') for Lots 11, 12, 13 and 14, located southeast of the project, to reduce the amount of paved area required for the project. As stated in Section II, This area shall be the responsibility of the HOA for the Pelican Hill community. Additionally, project structures have been designed to be multi -level, with below grade parking area to reduce the amount of impervious area. The project will also incorporate approximately 10% landscape area to minimize the amount and size of contiguous impervious area and to reduce runoff flow rates. The project site will be designed to retain all dry weather nuisance runoff onsite. Runoff from the project's hardscape and landscape areas will be allowed to percolate into the existing landscape areas and project soils via the use of pervious pavement. All roof down drains shall be connected to a conveyance system incorporating infiltration boxes, which allow all dry weather and low flow runoff to percolate into the underlying soils. The design and locations of these boxes and the proposed roof drains will be provided once the project approaches final. All information regarding this system will be included in the Final WQMP for this project. With proper non-structural BMP management, the amount of dry weather flow is anticipated to be minimal (IRWD studies have estimated dry weather flows for similar residential developments to be approximately 0.2 gpm/acre). Based on the soils engineer's recommendation, dry weather flows can be allowed to infiltrate into the project site. However, using infiltration for first flush storm flows is not recommended based on the project's location (hillside) and the potential for saturation of the project's foundation.

The proposed treatment BMP will be effective in treating the majority of the project's anticipated pollutants of concern. The pollutant that will not be treated is Bacteria and Viruses. At current, no mechanical device is capable of targeting this pollutant. Based on size and soil constraints, the project is not capable employing BMPs such as infiltration or sand filters, which can treat this pollutant. For treatment of bacteria and viruses as well as other anticipated pollutants (which must be sediment bound for treatment by the proposed unit), routine structural and non-structural BMPs, such as Good Housekeeping Practices and frequent inspections and cleanings, will be employed. Any anticipated pollutant from contained in nuisance water, irrigation water and other dry weather flows will be detained onsite and allowed to percolate or evaporate. • Tushar Patel Section IV (1\clwgmp\2671\12 DM-th.dm) October 28, 2005 Page 17 Pre/lminatyWater Quality ManagementP/an (WQMP) PELICAN HILL • LOTS 12 AND 13 OF TRACT NO.15346 LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF PELICANS DRIVE AND AVALON VISTA INTERSECTION COUNTY OF ORANGE, CA Additional BMPs Pool and Fountain Cleaning (DAMP IC-16) Regular cleaning of the pool and adequate chlorine to control algae shall be required.

Updated April 30, 2002 • 12021-8 NE Airport Way, Portland OR, 97220 0 800.548.4667 © 800.561.1271 Q stortnwaterinc.com Operation Description The Stormwater Management StormFilter® (StormFilter) is a passive, flow -through, stormwater filtration system that is installed inline with storm drains. The system is comprised of one or more vaults that house rechargeable, media -filled, filter cartridges. The StormFilter works by passing stormwater through the media -filled cartridges, which trap particulates and adsorb materials such as dissolved metals and hydrocarbons. Once filtered through the media, the treated stormwater is directed to a collection pipe or discharged into an open channel drainage way. The StormFilter is offered in four different configurations: cast -in -place, precast, linear, and catch basin. The precast, linear, and catch basin models utilize pre -manufactured units to ease the design and installation processes. The cast -in -place units are customized for larger flows and may be either covered or uncovered underground units. Purpose The StormFilter is a passive, flow -through, stormwater filtration system designed to improve the quality of stormwater runoff from the urban environment before it enters receiving waterways. It is intended to function as a Best'Management Practice (BMP) to meet federal, state, and local requirements for treating runoff in compliance with the Clean Water Act. Through independent third party studies, it has been demonstrated that the StormFilter is highly effective for treatment of first flush flows and for treatment of flow -paced flows during the latter part of • a storm. In general, the StormFilter's efficiency is highest when pollutant concentrations are highest. The primary non -point source pollutants targeted for removal by the StormFilter are: sediments (TSS), oil and grease, soluble metals, nutrients, organics, and trash and debris. • Sizing The StormFilter is sized to treat the peak flow of a water quality design storm. The peak flow is determined from calculations based on the contributing watershed hydrology and from a design storm magnitude set by the local stormwater management agency. The particular size of a StormFilter unit is determined by the number of filter cartridges (see Figure 1) required to treat this peak flow. The flow rate through each filter cartridge is adjustable, allowing control over the amount of contact time between the influent and the filter media. The maximum flow rate through each cartridge can be adjusted to between 5 and 15 gpm using a calibrated restrictor disc at the base of each filter cartridge. Adjustments to the cartridge flow rate will affect the number of cartridges required to treat the peak flow. Basic Function The StormFilter is designed to siphon stormwater runoff through a filter cartridge containing media. A variety of filter media is available and can be customized for each site to target and remove the desired levels of sediments, dissolved phosphorus, dissolved metals, organics, and oil and grease. In many cases, a combination of media is recommended to maximize the effectiveness of the stormwater pollutant removal.

The StormFilter Cartridge • Priming System Function • 6PR6ME3EtONGWV MM M A INNERMEGN VAULTRWR When stormwater in the StormFilter unit enters a StormFilter cartridge, it percolates horizontally through the cartridge's filter media and collects in the center tube of the cartridge, where the float in the cartridge is in a closed (downward) position. Water continues to pass through the filter media and into the cartridge's center tube. The air in the cartridge is displaced by the water and purged from beneath the filter hood through the one-way check valve located in the cap. Once the center tube is filled with water (approximately 18 inches deep), there is enough buoyant force on the float to open the float valve and allow the treated water in the center tube to flow into the under -drain manifold. This causes the check valve to close, initiating a siphon that draws polluted water throughout the full surface area and volume of the filter. Thus, the entire filter cartridge is used to filter water throughout the duration of the storm, regardless of the water surface elevation in the unit. This siphon continues until the water surface elevation drops to the elevation of the hood's scrubbing regulators. The cartridges are connected to the under -drain manifold with a plastic connector. Since some media used is potentially buoyant, a threaded connector affixed to the under -drain manifold (with glue or other adhesive) is necessary to ensure that the cartridge isn't lifted out of place. For the heavier compost media, a slip connector is used. The StormFilter is also equipped with flow spreaders that trap floating debris and surface films, even during overflow conditions. Depending on individual site characteristics, some systems are equipped with high and/or base flow bypasses. High flow bypasses are installed when the calculated peak storm event generates a flow that overcomes the overflow capacity of the system. This is especially T 800.548.4667 F 800.561.1271 W www.stormwaterinc.com 2 • • important for precast systems. Base flow bypasses are sometimes installed to bypass continuous inflows caused by ground water seepage, which usually do not require treatment. All StormFilter units are designed with an overflow. The overflow operates when the inflow rate is greater than the treatment capacity of the filter cartridges. Maintenance Overview The primary purpose of the StormFilter is to filter out and prevent pollutants from entering our waterways. Like any effective filtration system, periodically these pollutants must be removed to restore the StormFilter to its full efficiency and effectiveness. Maintenance requirements and frequency are dependent on the pollutant load. characteristics of each site. To assist the owner with maintenance issues, Stormwater Management Inc. will provide detailed Maintenance Guidelines upon request. Maintenance services can be provided completely, or in part, by Stormwater Management Inc. Available services include tracking of installed systems, advising the system's owner of maintenance needs, conducting complete system maintenance, and notifying the regulatory agency once the system has been maintained. Maintenance activities may be required in the event of a chemical spill or due to excessive sediment loading from site erosion or extreme storms. It is also good practice to inspect the system after severe storm events. T 800.548.4667 F 800.561.1271 W www,stormwaterinc.com LAMaintenance Types of Maintenance Presently, procedures have been developed for two levels of maintenance: inspection/minor maintenance and major maintenance. Inspection/minor maintenance activities are combined since minor maintenance does not require special equipment and typically little or no materials are in need of disposal. Inspection/minor maintenance typically involves inspection of the vault itself and removal of vegetation and debris. Major maintenance typically includes cartridge recharging. Major maintenance may involve disposal of materials that require consideration of regulatory guidelines. Depending on the particular unit configuration and equipment used, major maintenance may require an understanding of OSHA rules. Table 1 summarizes the primary activities associated with StormFilter maintenance. Table 1.

Refreshed cartridges are able to effectively treat stormwater. Two scheduled inspections/maintenance activities should take place during the year. First, an inspection/minor maintenance activity should be done. During the minor maintenance activity (routine inspection, debris removal), the need for major maintenance should be determined and, if disposal during major maintenance will be required, samples of the sediments and media should be obtained. Second, if required, a major maintenance activity (replacement of the filter cartridges and associated sediment removal) should be performed. In addition to these two scheduled activities, it is important to check the condition of the StormFilter unit after major storms for damage caused by high flows and for high sediment accumulation that may be caused by localized erosion in the drainage area. It may be necessary to adjust the maintenance activity schedule depending on the actual operating conditions encountered by the system. In general, minor maintenance activities will occur late in the rainy season, and major maintenance will occur in late summer to early fall when flows into the system are not likely to be present. The months indicated in Table 2 below show the recommended times of year for maintenance activities to occur in the Pacific Northwest. T 800.548.4667 F 800.561,1271 W www.stormwaterinc.com 4 Table 2. Recommended maintenance timesforthe Pacific Northwest WET I DRY i WET Month I JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN I JUL AUG SEP I OCT NOV DEC X X X I XX XX xX X = Schedule minor maintenance inspection and media sampling during one of these months XX = Schedule major maintenance during one of these months Maintenance Activity Frequency The primary factor controlling timing of maintenance for the StormFilter is sedimentation. A properly functioning system will remove solids from water by trapping particulates in the porous structure of the filter media. The flow through the system will' naturally decrease as more and more solids are trapped. Eventually the flow through the system will be low enough to require replacement of the cartridges. It may be possible to extend the usable span of the cartridges by removing sediment from upstream trapping devices on an as -needed basis in order to prevent material from being re- suspended and discharged to the system. Site conditions greatly influence maintenance requirements. StormFilter units located in areas with erosion or active construction should be inspected and maintained more often than those in fully stabilized areas. The maintenance frequency may be adjusted as additional monitoring information becomes available during the inspection program. Areas that develop known problems should be • inspected more frequently than areas that demonstrate no problems, particularly after large storms. Ultimately, inspection and maintenance activities should be scheduled based on the historic records and characteristics of an individual StormFilter system. It is recommended that the maintenance agency develop a database to properly manage StormFilter maintenance programs. Prior to the development of the maintenance database, the following maintenance frequencies should be followed: Inspection/minor maintenance Major maintenance (times/year) (timeslyear) 1 (and after major storms) 1 (except in case of a spill) Frequencies should be updated as required. The recommended initial frequency for inspection/minor maintenance is two times per year for the precast unit. StormFilter units should be inspected after all major storms. Sediment removal and cartridge replacement on an annual basis is recommended until further knowledge is gained about a particular system. .0 T 800.548.4667 F 800,561.1271 W www.stormwaterinc.com 5 • Maintenance Crew Requirements CJ Table 3 lists the anticipated crew requirements for maintenance operations. Removal of water and sediments during major maintenance activities can be accomplished using either a pump and water truck or a vacuum truck.

T 800.548.4667 F 800.561.1271 W www.stormwaterinc.com 6 • Maintenance Methods Inspection/Minor Maintenance (Once a year) The primary goal of a maintenance inspection is to assess the condition of the cartridges relative to the level of sediment loading. It may be desirable to conduct this inspection during a storm to observe the relative flow through the filter cartridges. If the submerged cartridges are severely plugged, large amounts of sediments will be present and very little flow will be discharged from the drainage pipes. If this is the case, it is likely that the cartridges need to be replaced. Warning: In the case of a spill, the worker should abort maintenance activities until the proper guidance is obtained. Notify the local hazard control agency and Stormwater Management Inc. immediately. To conduct an inspection and/or minor maintenance: Important: Maintenance must be performed by a utility worker familiar with StormFilter units. 1. If applicable, set up safety equipment to protect pedestrians from fall hazards due to open vault doors or when work is being done near walkways or roadways. 2. Visually inspect the external condition of the unit and take notes concerning defects/problems. . 3. Open the doors to the vault and allow the system to air out for 5-10 minutes. 4. Without entering the vault, inspect the inside of the unit, including components. • 6. Take notes about the external and internal condition of the vault. Be sure to record the level of sediment build-up on the floor of the vault, in the forebay, and on top of the cartridges. If flow is occurring, note the level of water and estimate the flow rate per drainage pipe. Record all observations. 6. Remove large loose debris and trash using a pole with a grapple or net on the end. 7. Close and fasten the door. 8. Remove safety equipment. 9. Make notes about the local drainage area relative to ongoing construction, erosion problems, or high loading of other materials to the system. 10. Finally, review the condition reports from the previous minor and major maintenance visits, and schedule cartridge replacement if needed. T 800.548.4667 F 800.561.1271 W www.stormwaterinc.com Major Maintenance: Sediment Removal/Cartridge Replacement Depending on the configuration of the particular system, a worker may be required to enter the vault to perform some tasks. If vault entry is required, OSHA rules for confined space entry must be followed. Filter cartridge replacement should occur during dry weather, and it may be necessary to plug the filter inlet pipe if base flows exist. Standing water present in the vault should be regarded as polluted and should be contained during this operation by temporarily capping the manifold connectors. Replacement cartridges will be delivered to the site by two utility workers. Information concerning how to obtain the replacement cartridges is available from Stormwater Management Inc. Warning: In the case of a spill, the worker should abort maintenance activities until the proper guidance is obtained. Notify the local hazard control agency and Stormwater Management Inc. immediately. To conduct cartridge'replacement and sediment removal maintenance: 1. If applicable, set up safety equipment to protect pedestrians from fall hazards due to open vault doors or when work is being done near walkways or roadways. 2. Visually inspect the external condition of the unit and take notes concerning defects/problems. 3. Open the doors to the vault and allow the system to air out for 5-10 minutes. 4. Without entering the vault, give the inside of the unit, including components, a general condition • inspection. r� U 5. Make notes about the external and internal condition of the vault. Give particular attention to recording the level of sediment build-up on the floor of the vault, in the forebay, and on top of the internal components. 6. Remove large loose debris and trash using a pole with a grapple or net on the end. 7. Using a boom, crane, or other device (dolly and ramp), offload the replacement cartridges (150 lbs. each) and set aside. 8. Using an appropriate sling, attach the cable from the boom, crane, or tripod to the cartridge being removed. Contact SMI for specifications on appropriate attachment devices. This activity will require that workers enter the vault to remove the cartridges from the drainage system and place them under the vault opening for lifting. Important: Note that cartridges containing media other than the leaf media require unscrewing from their threaded connectors. Take care not to damage the manifold connectors. This connector should remain installed in the manifold and capped if necessary (see Figure 1 for cartridge diagram). T 800.548.4667 F 800.561.1271 W www.stormwaterinc.com `. 9. Remove the used cartridges (250 lbs. each) from the vault. Care must be used to avoid damaging the cartridges during removal and installation. The cost of repairing components damaged during maintenance will be the responsibility of the owner unless Stormwater Management performs the maintenance activities and damage is not related to discharges to the system. 10. Set the used cartridge aside or load onto the hauling truck. 11. Continue steps 8 through 10 until all cartridges have been removed. 12. Remove deposited sediment from the floor of the vault and, if large amounts are present, from the forebay. This can usually be accomplished by shoveling the sediment into containers, which, once full, are lifted mechanically from the vault and placed onto the hauling truck. In some cases of extreme sediment loading, especially if the sediment is saturated, a vector truck may be required. 13.Once the sediments are removed, assess the condition of the vault and the condition of the manifold and connectors. The connectors are short sections of 2-inch schedule 40 PVC, or threaded schedule 80 PVC that should protrude above the floor of the vault. a. If required, apply a light coating of FDA approved silicon grease to the outside of the exposed portion of the connectors. This ensures a watertight connection between the cartridge and the drainage pipe. b. Replace any damaged connectors. 14. Using the boom, crane, or tripod, lower and install the new cartridges. Once again, take care not to damage connections. 15. Close and fasten the door. 16. Remove safety equipment. 17. Make notes about the local drainage area relative to ongoing construction, erosion problems, or high loadings of other materials to the system. 18. Finally, dispose of the residual materials in accordance with applicable regulations. Make arrangements to return the used cartridges to Stormwater Management Inc. T 800.548.4667 F 800.561.1271 W www.stormwaterinc.com • Related Maintenance Activities (Performed on an as -needed basis) StormFilter units are often just one of many components in a more comprehensive stormwater drainage and treatment system. The entire system may include catch basins, detention vaults, sedimentation vaults and manholes, detention/retention- ponds, swales, artificial wetlands, and other miscellaneous components. in order for maintenance of the StormFilter to be successful, it is imperative that all other components be properly maintained. The maintenance/repair of upstream facilities should be carried out prior to StormFilter maintenance activities. In addition to considering upstream facilities, it is also important to correct any problems identified in the drainage area. Drainage area concerns may include: erosion problems, heavy oil and grease loading, and discharges of inappropriate materials. Typical Equipment Required for Maintenance Activities Typical equipment required for conducting maintenance is shown in Table 4. Some of the materials listed are suggestions rather than requirements. It should be noted that there is more than one way to accomplish some tasks. Owners with available labor and equipment resources may desire to use alternative methods. However, it is advisable that guidance from Stormwater Management Inc. be obtained prior to using alternative techniques. Table 4.

T 800,548.4667 F 800.561.1271 W www.stormwaterinc.com 10 • Material Disposal r� U The accumulated sediment found in stormwater treatment and conveyance systems must be handled and disposed of in a manner that will not allow the material to affect surface or ground water. It is possible for sediments to contain measurable concentrations of heavy metals and organic chemicals (such as pesticides and petroleum products). Areas with the greatest potential for high pollutant loading include industrial areas and heavily traveled roads. Sediments and water must be disposed of in accordance with all applicable waste disposal regulations. It is not appropriate to discharge untreated materials back to the stormwater drainage system. Part of arranging for maintenance to occur should include coordination of disposal of solids (landfill coordination) and liquids (municipal vacuum truck decant facility, local wastewater treatment plant, on -site treatment and discharge). Owners should contact the local public works department and inquire about how the department disposes of their street waste residuals. Stormwater Management Inc will determine disposal methods or reuse of the media contained in the cartridges. If the material has been contaminated with any unusual substance, the cost of special handling and disposal will be the responsibility of the owner.

In fact the largest source of water pollution comes from city streets, neighborhoods, construction sites, and parking lots. This type of pollution is sometimes called "non -point source" pollution. ■ There are two types of non -point source pollution: stormwater and'urban runoff pollution. ■ Stormwater runoff refers to runoff resulting from rainfall. It is very noticeable during heavy rainstorms when large volumes Where Does It Go? MAnything we use outside homes, vehicles and businesses — like motor oil, paint, pesticides, fertilizers, and cleaners — can be blown or washed into the storm drains. MA little water from a garden hose or rain can also send materials into the storm drains. ■ Storm drains are separate from our sanitary sewer systems; unlike water in sanitary sewers (from sinks or toilets) water in the storm drains is not treated before entering our waterways. Sources of Non Point Source Pollution MAutomotive leaks and spills. ■Improper disposal of used oil and other engine fluids, ■ Metals found in vehicle exhaust, weathered paint, rust, metal plating, and tires. ■Pesticides and fertilizers from lawns, gardens and farms. The Effect on the Ocean Non -point source pollution can have a serious impact on water quality in Orange County. Pollutants from the storm drain system can harm marine life as well as coastal and wedand habitats. They can also degrade recreation areas such as beaches, harbors and bays. Stormwater quality management programs have been developed by the Orange County Stormwater Program under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. The program educates and encourages the public to protect water quality, monitor runoff in the storm drain system, manage NPDES permit process for municipalities, investigate illegal disposals, and maintain storm drains. The support of Orange County residents, businesses and industries is needed to improve water quality and reduce the threat of stormwater and urban runoff pollution. Proper use and disposal of materials we use everyday will help stop this form of pollution before it reaches the storm drain and the ocean. 0 • Follow dux simple amps to help reduce water pollution; Household Activilies MDo not class spills with water.

Ten ways that will save the most: 1. Water your lawn only when it needs it. Step on your grass. If it springs back, when you lift your foot, it doesn't need water. So set your sprinklers for more days in between watering. Saves 750-1,500 gallons per month. Better yet, especially in times of drought, water with a hose. 2. Fix leaky faucets and plumbing joints. Saves 20 gallons per day for every leak stopped. 3. Don't run the hose while washing your car. Use a bucket of water and a quick hose rinse at the end. Saves 150 gallons each time. For a two -car family that's up to 1,200 gallons a month. 4. Install water -saving shower heads or flow restrictors. Saves 500 to 800 gallons 5. Run only full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher. Saves 300 to 800 gallons per month. 6. Shorten your showers. Even a one or two minute reduction can save up to 700 gallons per month. 7. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks. Saves 150 gallons or more each time. At once a week, that's more than 600 gallons a month. 8. Don't use your toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket. Saves 400 to 600 gallons per month. 9. Capture tap water. While you wait for hot water to come down the pipes, catch the flow in a watering can to use later on house plants or your garden. Saves 200 to 300 gallons per month. 10. Don't water the sidewalks, driveway or gutter. Adjust your sprinklers so that water lands on your lawn or garden where it belongs -- and only there. Saves 500 gallons per month. In the bathroom: 1. Put a plastic bottle or a plastic bag weighted with pebbles and filled with water in your toilet tank. Displacing -water in this manner allows you to use less water with each flush. Saves 5 to 10 gallons a day. That's up to 300 gallons a month, even more for large families. Better yet, for even greater savings, replace your water -guzzling five to seven gallon a flush toilet with a three and a half gallon, low flush, or one and a half gallon, ultra -low flush model. 2. If you're taking a shower, don't waste cold water while waiting for hot water to reach the shower head. Catch that water in a container to use on your outside plants or to flush your toilet. Saves 200 to 300 gallons a month. 3. Check toilet for leaks. Put dye tablets or food coloring into the tank. If color appears in the bowl without flushing, there's a leak that should be repaired. Saves 400 gallons a month. 4. Turn off the water while brushing your teeth. Saves three gallons each day. 5. Turn off the water while shaving. Fill the bottom of the sink with a few inches of water to rinse your razor. Saves three gallons each day. In the kitchen and laundry: 1. If you wash dishes by hand --and that's the best way --don't leave the water running for rinsing. If you have two sinks, fill one with rinse water. If you only have one sink, use a spray device or short blasts instead of letting the water run. Saves 200 to 500 gallons a month. 2. When washing dishes by hand, use the least amount of detergent possible. This minimizes rinse water needed. Saves 50 to 150 gallons a month. 3. Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator. This beats the wasteful habit A running tap water to cool it for drinking. Saves 200 to 300 gallons a month. 4. Don't defrost frozen foods with running water. Either plan ahead by placing frozen items in the refrigerator overnight or defrost them in the microwave. Saves 50 to 150 gallons a month. 5. Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables. Rinse them in a filled sink or pan. Saves 150 to 250 gallons a month. 6. Use the garbage disposal less and the garbage more (even better --compost!). Saves 50 to 150 gallons a month. , Outside: 1. Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants. Chunks of bark, peat moss or gravel slows down evaporation. Saves 750 to 1,500 gallons a month. 2. If you have a pool, use a pool cover to cut down on evaporation. It will also keep your pool cleaner and reduce the need to add chemicals. Saves 1,000 gallons a month. 3. Water during the cool parts of the day. Early morning is better than dusk since it helps prevent the growth of fungus. Saves 300 gallons. 4. Don't water the lawn on windy days. There's too much evaporation. Can waste up to 300 gallons in one watering. 5. Cut down watering on cool and overcast days and don't water in the rain. Adjust or deactivate automatic sprinklers. Can save up to 300 gallons each time. 6. Set lawn mower blades one notch higher. Longer grass means less evaporation. Saves 500 to 1,500 gallons each month. 7. Have an evaporative air conditioner? Direct the water drain line to a flower bed, tree base, or lawn. 8. Drive your car onto a lawn to wash it. Rinse water can help water the grass. 9. Tell your children not to play with the garden hose. Saves 10 gallons a minute. 10. If you allow your children to play in the sprinklers, make sure its only when you're watering the yard --if it's not too cool at that time of day. 11. Xeriscape--replace your lawn and high -water -using trees and plants with less thirsty ones. But do this only in wet years. Even drought resistant plantings take extra water to get them going. That'll save 750 to 1,500 gallons a month. 12. When taking your car to a car wash --a good idea for saving water --be sure its one of the many that recycles its wash water. 13. Dispose of hazardous materials properly! One quart of oil can contaminate 250,000 gallons of water, effectively eliminating that much water from our water supply. Contact your city or county for proper waste disposal options. 40,' 0 & While Shopping Water is an essential ingredient in most manufacturing operations. Especially for those 1 billion of us in the high -consumption class, cutting down on our purchases of material things --from clothes and shoes to paper and appliances --conserves and protects water supplies as effectively as installing a low -flush toilet does. As with so many natural resources, as long as prices in the marketplace fail to reflect full social and ecological costs, voluntary changes in consumption.patterns will play an important role in the quest for sustainability. • A kilogram (2.21bs) of hamburger or steak produced by atypical California beef cattle operation, for instance, uses some 20,500 liters (5,400 gal.) of water. • We rarely think about water when we see an automobile, for example, but producing a typical U.S. car requires more than 50 times its weight in water! • Producing 1 serving (4.3 oz.) of tomatoes requires 8 gallons of water. • Producing 1 serving (4.6 oz.) of oranges requires 14 gallons of water. • Producing 1 serving (2 oz.) of pasta requires 36 gallons of water. • Producing 1 serving (8 fl. oz.) of milk requires 48 gallons of water. • Producing 1 serving (8 oz.) of chicken requires 330 gallons of water. • 3.

A clean ocean and healthy creeks, ricers, bays and beaches are important to Orange County. However, many common household activities can lead to water pollution if you're not careful, Litter, oil, chemicals and other substances that are left on your yard or driveway can be blown or washed into storm drains that flow to the ocean. Over -watering your lawn and washing your car can also flush materials into the storm drains. Unlike water in sanitary -sewers (from sinks and toilets), water in storm drains is not treated.

Blueprint for a Clean Ocean Blueprint for a Clean Ocean Best Management Practices to Prevent Stormwater Pollution from Construction -Related Activities 0 Introduction Stormwater pollution is rapidly growing in importance as a national environmental issue. In California, stormwater pollution is a major source of water pollution. To help combat the problems of stormwater pollution, federal and state governments have developed a program for monitoring and permitting discharges to municipal storm drain systems, creeks, and water bodies such as the Pacific Ocean. Municipalities in the Orange County Area are -required by the Clean Water Act to develop stormwater management programs that include requirements for construction activities. Your construction project will need to comply with local municipal requirements. If your construction activity will disturb five acres or more, you must also obtain coverage under the General Construction Activity Permit (see Requirements for Dischargers). Blueprint for a Clean Ocean is an introductory guide to stormwater quality control on construction sites. It contains several principles and techniques that you can use to help prevent stormwater. pollution. This booklet has been developed as a resource for all general contractors, home builders, and subcontractors working on construction sites. Blueprint for a Clean Ocean is not a design manual or a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWTPP) (see Requirements for Dischargers). For more information on the General Permit, designing stormwater quality controls, or producing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, please refer to the California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbook for Construction Activity, or consult your local program or the SWRCB (see below). Please note that this booklet is concerned only with the management of construction sites and activities during construction. Stormwater Pollution Storm Drain System Stormwater or runoff from sources like sprinklers and hoses flows over the ground into the storm drain system. In the Orange County Area, storm drain systems consist of gutters, storm drains; underground pipes, open channels, culverts, and creeks. Storm drain systems are designed to drain directly to the Pacific Ocean with no treatment. Pollution From Construction Sites Stormwater runoff is part of a. natural hydrologic process. However, land development and construction activities can significantly alter natural drainage patterns and pollute stormwater runoff. Runoff picks up pollutants as it flows over the ground or paved areas and carries these pollutants into the storm drain system. Common sources of pollutants from construction sites include: sediments from soil erosion; construction materials and waste (e.g., paint, solvents, concrete, drywall); landscaping runoff containing fertilizers and pesticides; and spilled oil, fuel, and other fluids from construction vehicles and heavy equipment. Adverse Effects from Stormwater Pollution Stormwater pollution is a major source of water pollution in California. It can cause declines in fisheries, disrupt habitats, and limit water recreation activities. Even more importantly, stormwater pollution poses a serious threat to the overall health of the ecosystem. Porxhote infofn Control Boards • Requirements for Dischargers Municipal Stormwater Program Municipalities in the Los Angeles Area are required by federal regulations -to develop programs to control the discharge of pollutants to the storm drain system, including the discharge of pollutants from construction sites and areas of new development or significant redevelopment. As a result, your development and construction projects may be subject to new requirements designed to improve stormwater quality such as, expanded plan check and review, new contract specifications, and increased site inspection. For more information on municipal requirements, please contact the municipal representative listed on the back cover of this booklet. Projects Equal To Or Greater Than 5 Acres If your construction activity will disturb five acres or more, you must obtain coverage under the General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit (General Construction Permit) issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for stormwater discharges associated with construction activity. To obtain coverage under the General Permit, a Notice of Intent (NOI) must be filed with the SWRCB. The General Construction Permit requires you to prepare and carry out a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan" or SWPPP Your SWPPP must identify appropriate stormwater pollution prevention measures or best management practices (BMPs), like the ones described in this booklet, to reduce pollutants in stormwater discharges from the construction site both during and after construction is completed. A best management practice or BMP is defined as any program, technology, process, practice, operating method, measure, or device which controls, prevents, removes, or reduces pollution. .� Projects Less Than 5 Acres If your project is less than five acres, you may still need to use BMPs to comply with local municipal requirements. Check with the local planning or engineering department for details, Best Management Practices General Practices The following are some general principles that can significantly reduce pollution from construction activity and help make compliance with stormwater regulations easy: • Identify.all storm drains, drainage swales and creeks located near the construction site and make sure all subcontractors are aware of their locations to prevent pollutants from entering them. • Clean up leaks, drips, and other spills immediately so they do not contact stormwater. • Refuel vehicles and heavy equipment in one designated location on the site and take care•to clean up spills immediately. • Wash vehicles at an appropriate off -site facility. If equipment must be washed on -site, do not use soaps, solvents, degreasers, or steam cleaning equipment, and prevent wash, water from entering the storm drain. If possible, direct wash water to a low point where it can evaporate and/or infiltrate. • Never wash down pavement or surfaces where materials have spilled. Use dry cleanup methods whenever possible. • Avoid contaminating clean runoff from areas adjacent to your site by using berms and/or temporary or permanent drainage ditches to divert water flow around the site. Reduce stormwater runoff velocities by constructing temporary check dams and/or berms where appropriate. • Protect all storm drain inlets using filter fabric cloth or other best management practices to prevent sediments from entering the storm drainage system during construction activities. • Keep materials out of the rain - prevent runoff pollution at the source. Schedule clearing or heavy earth moving activities for periods of dry weather. Cover exposed piles of soil, construction materials and wastes with plastic sheeting or temporary roofs. Before it rains, sweep and remove materials from surfaces that drain to storm drains, creeks, or channels. • Keep pollutants off exposed surfaces. Place trash cans around the site to reduce litter. Dispose of non -hazardous construction wastes in covered dumpsters or recycling receptacles. • Practice source reduction - reduce waste by ordering only the amount you need to finish the job. • Do not over -apply pesticides or fertilizers and follow manufacturers instructions for mixing and applying materials. . Recycle leftover materials whenever possible. Materials such as concrete, asphalt, scrap metal, solvents, degreasers, cleared vegetation, paper, rock, and vehicle maintenance materials such as used oil, antifreeze, batteries, and tires are recyclable. • Dispose of all wastes properly. Materials that cannot be reused or recycled must be taken to an appropriate landfill or disposed of as hazardous waste. Never throw debris into channels, creeks or into wetland areas. Never store or leave debris in the street or near a creek where it may contact runoff. • Illegal dumping is a violation subject to a fine and/or time in jail. Be sure that trailers carrying your materials are covered during transit. If not, the hauler may be cited and fined. • Train your employees and inform subcontractors about the stormwater requirements and their own responsibilities. Specific Practices • Following is a summary of specific best management practices for erosion and sediment control and contractor activities. For more information on erosion and sediment control BMPs and their design, please refer to the California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbook for Construction Activity (March 1993). Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control Prevent erosion Soil erosion is the process by which soil particles are removed from the land surface, by wind, water and/or gravity. Soil particles removed by stormwater runoff are pollutants that when deposited in local creeks, lakes, and the Pacific Ocean, can have negative impacts on aquatic habitat. Exposed soil.after clearing, grading, or excavation is easily eroded by wind or water. The following practices will help prevent erosion from occurring on the construction site: • Plan the development to fit the topography, soils, drainage pattern, and natural vegetation of the site. • Delineate clearing limits, easements, setbacks, sensitive or critical areas, trees, drainage courses, and buffer zones to prevent excessive or unnecessary disturbances and exposure. • Phase grading operations to reduce disturbed areas and time of exposure. • Avoid excavation and grading during wet weather. • Limit on -site construction routes and stabilize construction entrance(s). 40 0 Remove existing vegetation only when absolutely necessary. • Construct diversion dikes and drainage swales to channel,runoff around the site. • Use berms and drainage ditches to divert runoff around exposed areas. Place diversion ditches across the top of cut slopes • Plant vegetation on exposed slopes. Where replanting is not feasible, use erosion control blankets (e.g., jute or straw matting, glass fiber or excelsior matting; mulch netting). • Consider slope terracing with cross drains to increase soil stability. • Cover stockpiled soil and landscaping materials with secured plastic sheeting and divert runoff around them. • As a back-up measure, protect drainage courses, creeks, or catch basins with straw bales, silt fences and/or temporary drainage swales. •. Once grading is completed, stabilize the disturbed areas using permanent vegetation as soon as possible. • Conduct routine inspections of erosion control measures especially before and immediately after rainstorms, and repair if necessary. Control sediment Sedimentation is defined as the process of depositing sediments picked up by runoff. Sediments consist of soil particles, clays, sands, and other minerals. The purpose of sediment control practices is to remove sediments from stormwater before they are transported off -site or reach a storm drain inlet or nearby creek. 'Me most effective sediment control practices reduce runoff velocity and trap or detain runoff allowing sediments to settle out. • Use terracing, rip rap, sand bags, rocks, straw bales, and/or temporary vegetation on slopes to reduce runoff velocity and trap sediments. Do not use asphalt rubble or other demolition debris for this purpose. • Use check dams in temporary drains and swales to reduce runoff velocity and promote sedimentation. • Protect storm drain inlets from sediment -laden runoff. Storm drain inlet protection devices include sand bag barriers, filter fabric fences, block and gravel filters, and excavated drop inlet sediment traps. • Collect.and detain sediment -laden runoff in sediment traps (an excavated or bermed area or constructed device) to allow sediments to settle out prior to discharge. • Use sediment controls and filtration to remove sediments from water generated by dewatering. • Prevent construction vehicle tires from tracking soil onto adjacent streets by constructing a temporary stone pad with a filter fabric underliner near the site exit where dirt and mud can be removed. • When cleaning sediments from streets, driveways and paved areas on construction sites, use dry sweeping methods where possible. If water must be used to flush pavement, collect runoff to settle out sediments and protect storm drain inlets. • Note: Performance of erosion and sediment controls is dependent on proper installation, routine Inspections and maintenance of the controls. Most of the BMPs described above are temporary • and if left alone can quickly fall into disrepair and/or become ineffective. Routine inspections and maintenance, particularly before and after a storm event, must be Part of erosion and sediment control plan. The California Storm -Water Best Management Practices Handbook for Construction Activity provides specific details and design criteria for erosion and sediment control plans. Drainage swales channel runoff around a construction site. Planting temporary vegetation on freshly graded areas, and trenching and staking straw bales and/or silt fences downslope are common techniques for preventing erosion and controlling sediment. Make sure equipment repair area is bermed or well away from creeks and stone drains. General Site Maintenance .• Prevent spills and leaks Poorly maintained vehicles and heavy equipment leaking fuel, oil, antifreeze, or other fluids on the construction site are common sources of stormwater pollution and soil contamination. Construction material spills can also cause serious problems. Careful site planning, preventive maintenance, and good materials handling practices can eliminate most spills and leaks. • Maintain all vehicles and heavy equipment. Inspect frequently for and repair leaks. • Designate specific areas of the construction site, well away from creeks or storm drain inlets, auto and equipment parking and routine vehicle and equipment maintenance. • Perform major maintenance, repair jobs and vehicle and equipment washing off -site when feasible, or in designated and controlled areas on -site. • If you must drain and replace "motor oil, radiator coolant, or other fluids on -site, use drip pans or drop cloths to catch drips and spills. Collect all spent fluids, store in labeled separate containers, and recycle whenever possible. Note that in order to be recyclable, such liquids must not be mixed with other fluids. Non -recycled fluids generally must be disposed of as hazardous wastes. Clean up spills immediately after they happen When vehicle fluids or materials such as paints or solvents are spilled, cleanup should be immediate, automatic, and routine. • Sweep up spilled dry materials (e.g., cement, mortar, or fertilizer) immediately. Never attempt to "wash them away" with water, or bury them. Use only minimal water for dust control. • • Clean up liquid spills on paved or impermeable surfaces using "dry" cleanup methods (e.g.,absorbent materials like cat litter, sand or rags). e Clean up spills on dirt areas by digging up and properly disposing of the contaminated soil. • Report significant spills to the appropriate spill response agencies immediately (See reference list on the back cover of this booklet for more information). Clean up spills on dirt areas by removing contaminated soil. Note. Used cleanup rags that have absorbed hazardous materials must either be sent to a • certified industrial laundry or dry cleaner, or disposed of through a licensed hazardous waste disposal company. • Store materials under cover Wet and dry building materials with the potential to pollute runoff should be stored under cover and/or surrounded by berms when rain is forecast or during wet -weather. • Store stockpiled materials and wastes under a temporaryroof or secured plastic sheeting or tarp. • Berm around storage areas to prevent contact with runoff. • Plaster or other powders can create large quantities of suspended solids in runoff, which may be toxic to aquatic life and cause serious environmental.harm even if the materials are inert. Store all such potentially polluting dry materials -especially open bags- under a temporary roof or inside a building, or cover securely with an impermeable tarp. By storing dry materials under a roof, you may also help protect air quality, as well as water quality. • Store containers of paints, chemicals, solvents, and other hazardous materials in accordance with secondary containment regulations and under cover during rainy periods. Cover and maintain dumpsters Open or leaking dumpsters can be a source of stormwater pollution. • Cover open dumpsters with plastic sheeting or a tarp during rainy weather. Secure the sheeting or tarp around the outside of the dumpster. If your dumpster has a cover, close it. • • If a dumpster is leaking, contain and collect leaking material. Return the dumpster to the leasing company for repair/exchange. • Do not clean dumpsters on -site. Return to leasing company for periodic cleaning, if necessary. 0 CJ Store building materials undercover, Make sure dumpsters are properly covered to keep out rain. Collect and properly dispose of paint removal wastes Paint removal wastes include chemical paint stripping residues, paint chips and dust, sand blasting material and wash water. These wastes contain chemicals that are' harmful to the wildlife in our creeks and the water bodies they flow to. Keep all paint wastes away from the gutter, street, and storm drains. • Non -hazardous paint chips and dust from dry stripping and sand blasting may be swept up or collected in plastic drop cloths and disposed of as trash. Chemical paint stripping residue and chips and dust from marine paints or,paints containing lead or tributyl tin must be disposed of as abazardous waste. When stripping or cleaning building exteriors with high-pressure water, cover or berm storm drain inlets. If possible (and allowed by your local wastewater treatment plant), collect (mop or vacuum) building cleaning water and discharge to the sanitary sewer. Alternatively, discharge non -contaminated wash water onto a dirt area and spade into the soil. Be sure to shovel or sweep up any debris that remains in the gutter and dispose of as garbage. Clean up paints, solvents, adhesives, and cleaning solutions properly Although many paint materials can and should be recycled, liquid residues from paints, thinners, solvents, glues, and cleaning fluids are hazardous wastes. When they are thoroughly dry, empty paint cans, used brushes, rags, absorbent materials, and drop cloths are no longer hazardous and maybe disposed of as garbage. • 0 Never clean brushes or rinse paint containers into a street, gutter, storm drain, or creek. • For water -based paints, paint out brushes to the extent possible and rinse to a drain leading to the sanitary sewer (i.e., indoor plumbing). • For oil -based paints, paint out brushes to the extent possible, and filter and reuse thinners and solvents. Dispose of unusable thinners and residue as hazardous waste. • Recycle, return to supplier or donate unwanted water -based (latex) paint. You may be able to recycle clean empty dry paint cans as metal. • Dried latex paint may be disposed of in the garbage. • Unwanted paint (that is not recycled), thinners, and sludges must be disposed of as hazardous waste. • More and more paint companies are recycling excess latex paint (See separate list of "Recyclers and Disposal Services" for morq information). Keep fresh concrete and cement mortars out of gutters, storm drains, and creeks Concrete and cement -related mortars that wash into gutters and storm drains are toxic to fish and the aquatic environment. • Avoid mixing excess amounts of fresh concrete or cement mortar on -site. • Store dry and wet materials under cover, protected from rainfall and runoff. • Wash out concrete transit mixers only in designated wash -out areas where the water will flow into settling ponds or onto dirt or stockpiles of aggregate base or sand. Pump water from settling ponds to the sanitary sewer, where allowed. Whenever possible, recycle washout by pumping back into mixers for reuse. Never dispose of washout into the street, storm drains, drainage ditches, or creeks. • Whenever possible, return contents of,mixer barrel to the yard for recycling. Dispose of small amounts of excess concrete, grout, and mortar in the trash. Service and maintain portable toilets Leaking portable toilets are a potential health and environmental hazard. • Inspect portable toilets for leaks. • Be sure the leasing company adequately maintains, promptly repairs, and replaces units as needed. • The leasing company must have a permit to dispose of waste to the sanitary sewer. Dispose of cleared vegetation properly Cleared vegetation, tree trimmings, and other plant material can cause environmental damage if it gets into creeks. Such "organic" material requires large quantities of oxygen to decompose, which reduces the oxygen available to fishes and other aquatic life. • Do not dispose of plant material in a creek or drainage facility or leave it in a roadway where it can clog "storm drain inlets. • • Avoid disposal of plant material in trash dumpsters or mixing it with other wastes. Compost plant material or take it to a landfill or other facility that composts yard waste. Recycle yard waste and tree prunings at a landfill that chips and composts plant material. Demolition Waste Management Make sure all demolition waste is properly disposed of • Demolition debris that is left in the street or pushed over a bank into a creek bed or drainage facility causes serious problems for flood control, storm drain maintenance, and the health of our environment. Different types of materials have different disposal requirements or recycling options. • • Materials that can be recycled from demolition projects include: metal framing, wood, concrete, asphalt, and plate glass. • Materials that can be salvaged for reuse from old structures include: doors, banisters, floorboards, windows, 2x4s, and other old, dense lumber. • Unusable, unrecycleable debris should be confined to dumpsters, covered at night and during wet weather, and taken to a landfill for disposal. • Hazardous debris such as asbestos must be handled in accordance with specific laws and regulations and disposed of as a hazardous waste, For more information of asbestos handling and disposal regulations, contact the South Coast Air Quality Management District. • Arrange for an adequate debris disposal schedule to insure that dumpsters do not overflow. Roadwork and Pavement Construction Plan roadwork and pavement construction to avoid stormwater pollution Road paving, surfacing, and asphalt removal happen right in the street, with numerous opportunities for stormwater pollution from the asphalt mix, saw -cut slurry, or excavated material. Properly proportioned asphalt mix and well -compacted pavement avoid a host of water pollution problems. • Apply concrete, asphalt, and seal coat during dry weather to prevent contaminants from • contacting stormwater runoff. • • Cover storm drain inlets and manholes when paving or applying seal coat, slurry seal, fog seal, etc. • Always park paving machines over drip pans or absorbent materials, since they tend to drip continuously. • 0 • When making saw -cuts in pavement, use as little water as possible. Cover each catch basin completely with filter fabric during the sawing operation and contain the slurry by placing straw bales, sand bags, or gravel dams around the catch basin. After the liquid, drains or evaporates, shovel or vacuum the slurry residue from the pavement or gutter and remove from site. • Wash down exposed aggregate concrete only when the wash water can: (1) flow onto a dirt area; (2) drain onto a bermed surface from which it can be pumped and disposed of properly; or (3) be vacuumed from a catchment created by blocking a storm drain inlet: if hecessary, place straw bales downslope, or divert runoff with temporary berms. Make sure runoff does not reach gutters or storm drains. • Allow aggregate rinse to settle, and pump the water to the sanitary sewer if allowed by your local wastewater authority. • Never wash sweepings from exposed aggregate concrete into a street or storm drain. Collect and return to aggregate base stockpile, or dispose with trash. • Recycle broken concrete and asphalt. Contaminated Ponded Stormwater, Groundwater, and Soil Guidance Look for ponded stormwater, groundwater, and/or soil contamination Ponded stormwater, groundwater and soil may become contaminated if exposed to hazardous materials. If any of the following conditions apply, contaminated ponded stormwater, groundwater, and/or soil may be present and pose a potential health and environmental hazard: • The project site is in an area of previous commercial/industrial activity; • There is a history of illegal dumping on the site or adjacent properties; • The construction site is subject to a Superfund, state, or local cleanup order; • Ponded stormwater, groundwater and/or water generated by dewatering exhibits an oily - sheen and/or smells of petroleum; • Soil appears discolored, smells of petroleum and/or exhibits other unusual properties; • Abandoned underground storage tanks, drums, or other buried debris are encountered during construction activities; or • Spills have occurred'on-the site or adjacent properties involving pesticides and herbicides; fertilizers; detergents; plaster and other products; petroleum products such as fuel, oil, and grease; or other hazardous chemicals such as acids, lime, glues, paints, solvents, and curing compounds. Take appropriate action Ponded stormwater, groundwater, or water generated by dewatering that is contaminated cannot be discharged to a street, gutter, or storm drain. if contamination is suspected, the water should be contained and held for testing.

More efficient water use by you and your community has many other benefits. Fewer Pollutants Using less water reduces the amount of waste -water discharged into our lakes, streams, rivers, and marine waters. •The amount of pollutants wastewater carries can also be reduced, as treatment efficiency improves. Recycled process water can reduce pollutants from industry. More efficient irrigation can minimise runoff of agricultural pollutants and reduce the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Protection of Aquatic Habitats • Building fewer and smaller new water projects can help preserve wetlands, which naturally treat pollutants. • Diverting less water preserves more stream flow to maintain a healthy aquatic environment. Protection of Drinking Water Sources • Less pumping of groundwater lowers the chance that pollutants will be drawn into a water supply well. • With -less water use, septic system performance can improve, reducing the risk of groundwater contamination. • Highest quality water sources are preserved for drinking water by using treated wastewater for other uses. Energy Conservation • Efficient water use means less power needed to pump and treat water and wastewater. • Less water use reduces the amount of energy required for heating hot water. • Less energy demand results in fewer harmful by-products from power plants. Other Reasons to Use Water Wisely Preventing pollution is only one reason why using water efficiently makes sense. Here are a few more: Money Saved • Less water use results in fewer pumping and treatment costs. • Saving money on water and wastewater operations frees money for meeting water quality, public health and water treatment goals. • Water saved is also energy, and money,.saved for you and your community. Improved Reliability • Water conservation provides a hedge against drought impacts. • Improving water efficiency maybe quicker and cheaper than developing anew supply. 0 • Reduced water use may extend the life of your water or wastewater facility. or • Reduced water use may increase the efficiency of wastewater treatment, and reduce overflows during storms. • Communities which use water efficiently are better prepared -to cope with effects of possible future climate change. What Individuals Can Do More efficient water use begins with individuals, in the home and place of work. Taking these and other steps, and encouraging others to do so, makes good economic as- well as environmental sense. In: The Home Install a toilet dam or plastic bottle in your toilet tank. • Install a water -efficient showerhead (2.5 gallons or less per minute). When you buy anew toilet, purchase a low flow model (1.6 gallons or less per flush). Outdoors • Water in the morning or evening to minimize evaporation. • Install a drip -irrigation watering system for valuable plants. • Use drought -tolerant plants and grasses for landscaping, and reduce grass -covered areas. At Work or School • Adopt the same water -saving habits that are effective at home. • Ask about installing water -efficient equipment and reducing -outdoor water use. • Encourage employers to explore the use of recycled "gray -water" or reclaimed wastewater. What Communities Can Do A water supplier or wastewater system operator (public or private) has cost-effective options to process and deliver water more efficiently. A community can do the same, and can foster ways to use water wisely. Not all of these steps are expensive. The best choices vary by region and by community, start by asking if these are appropriate where you live and work. A Water Supplier or Wastewater Processor Can: • Identify who uses water, and reduce unaccounted for water use. • Find and repair leaking pipes. • Consider anew pricing scheme which encourages conservation. • Reduce excess pressure in water lines. • Explore the reuse of treated wastewater for uses other than drinking water. Charge hookup fees which encourage more efficient water use in new buildings. . • Build water efficiency into future demand projections, facility planning, and. drought planning. A Community Can: • Adopt plumbing and building codes that require water -efficient -equipment and practices. • Adopt a water -efficient landscaping ordinance to reduce the water used for golf courses and commercial landscapes. • Retrofit older buildings with water -efficient equipment, starting with public buildings. • Reduce municipal water use for landscaping and other uses. i 8.

You would never dump pool chemicals into the ocean, so don't let it enter the storm drains. Follow these easy tips to help prevent water pollution. E Help Prevent Occan Pollution: Tips for Pool Maintenance Many pools are plumbed to allow the pool to drain directly to the sanitary sewer. If yours is not, follow these instructions for disposing of pool and spa water. Acceptable and Preferred Method of Disposal When you cannot dispose of pool water in the sanitary sewer, the release of dechlorinated swimming pool water is allowed if all of these tips are followed: ■The residual chlorine does not exceed 0.1 mg/1 (parts per million). ■The pH is between 6.5 and 8.5. ■ The water is free of any unusual coloration, dirt or algae. ■There is no discharge of filter media. ■There is no discharge of acid cleaning wastes. ■ Some cities may have ordinances that do not allow pool water to be disposed into a storm drain. Check with your city. How to Know if You're Following the Standards You can find out how much chlorine is in your water by using a pool testing kit. Excess chlorine can be removed by discontinuing the use of chlorine for a few days prior to discharge or by purchasing dechlorinating chemicals from a local pool supply company. Always make sure to follow the instructions that come with any products you use. Doing Your Part By complying with these guidelines, you will make a significant contribution toward keeping pollutants out of Orange County's creeks, streams, rivers, bays and the ocean. This helps to protect organisms that are sensitive to pool chemicals, and helps to maintain the health of our environment. anommommom� • It o j i c 1' V RIVRM Vie" 't 10.

Water Quality Guidelines for Landscaping and Gardening Clean beaches ry and healthy creeks, rivers, bays, and ocean are important to Orange County. However, many common activities can lead to water pollution if you're not careful. Fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals that are left on yards or driveways can be blown or washed into the storm drains that flow to the ocean. Overwatering lawns can also send materials into the storm drains. Unlike water in sanitary sewers (from sinks and toilets), water in storm drains is not treated before entering our waterways. You would never pour gardening products into the ocean, so don't let them enter the storm drains. Follow these easy tips to help prevent water pollution. Help Prevent Occati Pollution: Tips for Landscape Gardening Never allow gardening products or polluted water to enter the street or storm drain. General Landscaping Tips ■ Protect stockpiles and materials from wind and rain by storing them under tarps or secured plastic sheeting. ■ Prevent erosion of slopes by planting fast growing, dense ground covering plants. These will shield and bind the soil. ■ Plant native vegetation to reduce the amount of water, fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides needed. ■ Never apply pesticides or fertilizers when rain is predicted within the next 48 hours. Garden & Lawn Maintenance ■ Do not over -water. Use irrigation practices such as drip irrigation, soaker hoses or micro spray systems. Periodically inspect and fix leaks and misdirected sprinklers. ■ Do not rake or blow leaves, clippings or pruning waste into the street, gutter or storm drains. Instead dispose of waste by composting, hauling it to a permitted landfill, or as green waste through your city's recycling program. ■ Use slow -release fertilizers to minimize leaching and use organic fertilizers. ■ Read labels and use only as directed. Do not over -apply pesticides or fertilizers. Apply to spots as needed, rather than blanketing an entire area. ■ Store pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals in a dry covered area to prevent exposure that may result in the deterioration of containers and packaging. ■ Rinse empty pesticide containers and re -use rinse water as you would use the product. Do not dump rinse water down storm drains. Dispose of empty containers in the trash. ■ When available, use non -toxic alternatives to traditional pesticides and use pesticides specifically designed to control the pest you are targeting. For more information, check www.ipm.ucdavis.edu. ■ If fertilizer is spilled, sweep up the spill before applying irrigation water. If the spill is liquid, apply an absorbent material like cat litter and then sweep and dispose in the trash. ■ Take unwanted pesticides to a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center to be recycled.

EPA regulates the use of pesticides under the authority of two laws —the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Most all pesticides may legally be sold in the United States if they have been "registered" by EPA and if they bear an EPA registration number. Federal pesticide registration, however, is only the first step in preventing pesticide risks. Just as important are the steps that consumers take to control pests and use pesticides safely. EPA hopes that this booklet will help you control pests safely. • • Foreword • Introduction *SOONER OR LATER, we're all pestered by pests. Whether it's ants in the kitchen or weeds in the vegetable garden, pests can be annoying and bothersome. At the same time, many of us are concerned that the pesticides we use to control pests can cause problems too. How can pests be controlled safely? When and how should pesticides be used? This booklet is intended to help answer these questions. The questions have no single right answer, but Citizen's Guide to Pest Control and Pesticide Safety gives the information you need to make informed decisions. You should be able to control pests without risking your family's health and without harming the environment. The major goals of this booklet are to help you understand— ♦ What steps to take to control pests in and around your home. ♦ What alternatives to chemical pesticides are available, including pest prevention and non -chemical pest controls. ♦ How to choose pesticides and how to use, store, and dispose of them safely. ♦ How to reduce your exposure when others use pesticides. ♦ How to choose a pest control company. ♦ What to do if someone is poisoned by a pesticide. fwv dua,.n Pests, Pest Control, and Pesticides ta 4 1 LANTS, insects, mold, mildew, rodents, bacteria, and other organisms are a natural part of the environment. They can benefit people in many ways. But they can also be pests. Apartments and houses are often hosts to common pests such as cockroaches, fleas, termites, ants, mice, rats, mold, or mildew. Weeds, hornworms, aphids, and grubs can be a nuisance outdoors when they get into your lawn, flowers, yard, vegetable garden, or fruit and shade trees. Pests can also be a health hazard to you, your family, and your pets. It's easy to understand why you may need and want to control them. Nowadays, you can choose from many different methods as you plan your strategy for controlling pests. Sometimes a non -chemical method of control is as effective and convenient as a chemical alternative. For many pests, total elimination is almost impossible, but it is possible to control them. Knowing your options is the key to pest control. Methods available to you include pest prevention, • non -chemical pest controls, and chemical pesticides. Each of these methods will be described in more detail in the next three sections of this booklet (starting on pages 6,11, and 13). Pest Management The most effective strategy for control may be to combine methods in an app known as integrated pest managemen (IPM) that emphasizes preventing pest damage. In IPM, information about pests and available pest control methods is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. An example of using the IPM approach for lawn care is presented in the next section of this booklet titled "Preventing Pests." • Some signs of pest infestation are unmistakable. Pests, Pest Control, and Pesticides E • • Knowing a range of pest control methods gives you the ability to choose among them for an effective treatment. Knowing the options also gives you the choice of limiting your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. No matter what option you choose, you should follow these steps to control your pest problem: First Steps in Pest Management 1 Identify the pest problem. This is the first and most important step in pest control —figuring out exactly what you're up against. Some'pests (or signs of them) are unmistakable —most people recognize a cockroach or a mouse. Other signs that make you think "pest" can be misleading. For example, what may look like a plant "disease" may be, in'fact, a sign of poor soil or lack of water. Use free sources to help identify your pest and to learn the most effective methods to control it. These sources include library reference books (such as insect field guides or gardening books) and pest specialists at your County Cooperative Extension Service or local plant nurseries. These resources are usually listed in the telephone book. 2 Decide how much pest control is necessary. Pest control is not the same as,pest elimination. Insisting on getting rid of all pests inside and outside your home will'lead you to make more extensive, repeated, and possibly hazardous chemical treatments than are necessary. Be reasonable. Ask yourself these questions: ♦ Does your lawn really need to be totally weed free? ♦ Recognizing that some insects are beneficial to your lawn, do you need to get rid of all of them? ♦ Do you need every type of fruit, vegetable, or flower you grow, or could you replace ones that are sensitive to pests with hardier substitutes? ♦ Can you tolerate some blemished fruits and vegetables from your garden? ♦ Is anyone in your home known to be particularly sensitive to chemicals? Pests, Pest Control, and Pestiddes • Choose an effective option. Use the information,gathered in Step 1, your answers to the questions in Step 2, and guidance in the sections titled "Preventing Pests," 'Using Non -Chemical Pest Controls," and "Using Chemical Pest Controls" to determine which option you want to choose. If you're still uncertain, get further advice,from the free sources listed in Step 1. 4 Evaluate the results. Once a pest control method has been chosen and implemented, always allow time for it to work and then evaluate its effectiveness by taking the following steps: ♦ Compare pre-treatment and post -treatment -conditions. Is there evidence of a clear reduction in the number of pests? Weigh the benefits of short-term chemical pesticide control against the benefits of long-term contr^� rreina a variety of other treatments, including chemical methods. IYs easier to prevent pests than to control them You may not need to worry about the four pest control steps just mentioned IF you make the effort to prevent pests in the first place. • • The first step In pest control Is to Identify the pest. Pests, Pest Control, and.Peselddes n LJ F • Pests need water to survive. Fix leaky pipes. Preventing Pests PESTS SEEK PLACES TO LIVE that satisfy basic needs for air, moisture, food, and shelter. The best way to control pests is to try to prevent them from entering your home or garden in the first place. You can do this by removing the elements that they need to survive. Take the following preventive actions: Indoor Prevention Retnnve water. All living things, including pests, deed water for aky plumbing, and do not let water accumulate around your home. For example, do not leave iys under your houseplants, under your in buckets overnight. Remove or dry out water - vet materials. Even dampness or high humidity S. ♦ Remove food. Store your food in sealed glass or plastic containers, and keep your kitchen clean and free from cooking grease and oil. Do not leave food in pet bowls on the counter or floor for long periods of time. Put food scraps or refuse in tightly covered,. animal -proof garbage cans, and empty your garbage frequently. ♦ Remove or block off indoor pest hiding places. Caulk cracks and crevices to control pest access. Bathe pets regularly and wash any mats or surfaces they lie on to control fleas. Avoid storing newspapers, paper bags, and boxes for long.. ytyT� periods of time. Also, check for pests in packages or boxes before carrying them into your home. ♦ Block pest entryways. Install screens on all floor drains, windows, and doors to discourage ,• -, i crawling and flying pests from ' entering your home. Make sure any passageways :. • .. through the floor are blocked.' FI ouY ; •` „dil . v Place weatherstripping y ar on doors and windows. Caulk and seal openings Y. in walls. Keep doors shut when not in use. t — Store food In sealed containers. Preventing Pests • Outdoor Prevention ♦ Remove or destroy outdoor pest hiding places. Remove piles of wood from under or around your home to avoid attracting termites and carpenter ants. Destroy diseased plants, tree prunings, and fallen fruit that may harbor pests. Rake fallen S leaves. Keep vegetation, shrubs, and wood mulch at least IS inches away from your house. ♦ Remove breeding sites. Clean up pet droppings from your yard; they attract flies that can spread bacteria.

Make sure drain pipes and other water sources drain away from your house. y ♦ Take proper care of all outdoor plants. These include flowers, fruit and shade trees, vegetable and other plants, and your lawn. Good plant health care reduces pest control needs — healthy plants resist pests better than do weak plants. Plant at • the best time of year to promote healthy growth. Use mulch to reduce weeds and maintain even soil temperature and moisture. Water adequately. Native flowers, shrubs, and trees often are good choices because they adapt well to local. conditions and require minimal care. Gardening ♦ Select healthy seeds and seedlings that are known to resist diseases and are suited to the climate where you live. Strong seeds are likely to produce mature plants with little need for pesticides. ♦ If your garden is large, alternate rows of different kinds of plants. Pests that prefer one type of vegetable (carrots, for example) may not spread to every one of your carrot plants if other vegetables (not on the pests' diet) are planted in the neighboring rows. ♦ Don't plant the same crop in the same spot year after year. That way your plants are not as vulnerable to pests that survive the winter. ♦ Make sure your garden plot has good drainage. Raised beds will improve drainage, especially of clay soils. If a heavy clay • soil becomes compacted, it does not allow air and water to get to the roots easily, and plants struggle to grow. To loosen Remove breeding sites. Clean up litter or garbage.

Before planting, add organic matter to enrich the soil mixture in your garden plot. LJ Lawn Care Tending a garden may not be your hobby; but if you rent or own a home, you might need to care for the lawn. You don't have to be an expert to grow a healthy lawn —the key is to work with nature. You need to create the right conditions for your grass to grow strong and stay healthy. A healthy lawn can resist damage from weeds, disease, and insect pests. Set realistic weed and pest control goals for yourlawn. Think of lawn care as a preventive health care program, like one you would follow to stay healthy yourself. The goal is to prevent problems from ever occurring. Pesticides can be effective, but should not be relied on as the quick -fix solution to any lawn problem. Serious, ongoing pest problems are often a sign that your lawn is not getting what it needs to stay healthy. Pests may be a symptom of an underlying problem. You need to correct the underlying problem to reduce the chances of pests reappearing. Preventing Pests • • Make these six steps part of a preventive health care program for your lawn: 1Develop healthy soil that has the right pH balance, key ' nutrients, and good texture. You can buy easy -to -use soil analysis kits at hardware stores or contact your local County Cooperative Extension Service for a soil analysis. 2 Choose a type of grass that grows well in your climate. For instance, if your area gets very little rain, don't plant a type of grass that needs a lot of water. Your local County Cooperative Extension Service can advise you on which grasses grow best in your area. Mow high, mow often, and make sure the lawn mower blades are sharp. Grass that is slightly long makes a strong, healthy lawn with few pest problems. Weeds have a hard time taking root and growing when grass is fairly long (around 2'/a to 3�/a inches for most types of grass). A foot -high meadow isn't necessary; just adding an inch to the length of your grass will give most lawns a real boost. 4 Water deeply but not too often. The best rule is to water only when the lawn begins to wilt from dryness —when the color dulls and footprints stay in the grass for more than a few seconds. Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day because the water will evaporate too quick' Correct thatch buildup. Thatch is a layer i material between the grass blades and the thatch gets too thick (deeper than %a of an water and nutrients from getting into the! the roots of the grass. Overusing synthetic create a heavy layer of thatch, and some k prone to thatch buildup. Get rid of excess thatch by raking the lawn or using a dethatching rake. Preventing Pests 0 M hi a healthy lawn, earthworms, spiders, millipedes, and a variety of microorganisms help keep the thatch layer in balance by breaking it up and using it for food, which releases nutrients into the soil. You can get rid of excess thatch by raking the lawn using a dethatching rake or by using a machine that pulls plugs out of the grass and thatch layer to break it up. Sprinkle a thin layer of topsoil or compost over the lawn after dethatching or aerating it to speed up the process of decomposition. 6 Set realistic weed and pest control goals. It is almost impossible to get rid of all weeds and pests. However, even a lawn that is 15 percent weeds can look almost weed -free to the casual observer. A healthy lawn will probably always have some weeds and some insect pests. But a healthy lawn will also have beneficial insects and other organisms like earthworms that keep pests under control. Improper use of pesticides can kill these beneficial -organisms. By following this preventive health care program for your lawn, you should be able to rely very little, if at all, on chemical pesticides for weed and insect pest control.

LJ • YOU'VE GOT PESTS, and you want to control them with a dependable pest control method that does not contain chemical pesticides. Non -chemical pest control methods really work, and they have many advantages. Compared to chemical treatments, non -chemical methods are generally effective for longer periods of time. They are less likely to create hardy pest populations that develop the ability to resist pesticides. And many non -chemical pest controls can be used with fewer safeguards, because they are generally thought to pose virtually no hazards to human health or the environment. Two examples of non -chemical pest control methods are biological and manual treatments. Biological Controls Did you know that pests themselves maybe eaten or otherwise controlled by birds, insects, or other living organisms? You can use a pest's natural enemies (predators) to your advantage. These "biological controls;" as they are called, take many forms: ♦ Beneficial predators such as purple martins and other birds eat insects; bats can eat thousands of insects in one night; lady beetles (ladybugs) and their larvae eat aphids, mealybugs; whiteflies, and mites. Other beneficial bugs include spiders, centipedes, ground beetles, lacewings, dragonflies, big -eyed bugs, and ants. You can install a purple martin house in your yard. You can also buy and release predatory insects. They are available from sources such as gardening catalogs and magazines. Contact your County Cooperative Extension Service, a nursery, or a garden association for information on how to attract and protect beneficial predators. ♦ Parasitoids such as miniature wasps lay their eggs inside the eggs or bodies of insect pests such as tomato hornworms. Once the eggs hatch, the offspring kill their insect hosts, making• parasitoids highly effective pest controllers. Beneficial Predators PURPLE MARTIN _ LADYBUG CENTIPEDE Using Non -Chemical Pest Controls I 1 Pheromone traps lure pests. • • 12 Using Non•Chemkol Pest Controls ♦ Microscopic pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses control pests. An example is milky spore disease, which attacks Japanese beetles. A number of these biological pesticides are available commercially at hardware and garden stores. (See page 43 in the Reference Section for more information.) ♦ Biochemical pesticides include pheromones and juvenile insect hormones. Pheromones are chemical substances released by various organisms (including insects) as means of communicating with others of the same species, usually as an aid to mating. Pheromones lure pests inside a trap. Juvenile insect hormones interfere with an insect's normal growth and reproductive functions by mimicking the effects of compounds that occur naturally in the pest. Kanual Methods ♦ Spading and hoeing to cut up weeds. ♦ Hand-picking weeds from your lawn, and pests from your plants, indoors or out. ♦ Using a flyswatter. ♦ Setting traps to control rats; mice, and some insects. ♦ Mulching to reduce weed growth. One or a combination of several non -chemical treatments may be just what you need for your pest problem. You must be patient because results may not be immediate. And, you must work to prevent pests from entering your home or garden in the first place. 11 Using Chemical Pest Controls kIF YOU DECIDE that the best solution to your pest problem is chemical —by itself or, preferably, combined with non -chemical treatments —be aware that one of the greatest causes of pesticide exposure to humans is the use of pesticides in and around the home. Anyone can buy. a wide variety of 'off the shelf" pesticide products to control weeds, unwanted insects, and other pests. No special training is required to use these pesticides. Yet many of the products can be hazardous to people, especially when stored, handled, applied, or disposed of improperly. The results achieved by using chemical pesticides are generally temporary, and repeated treatments may be required. Over time, some pests become pesticide -resistant, meaning they adapt to the chemical and are no longer harmed by it. This forces you to choose another product or method. If used incorrectly, home -use pesticide products can -be poisonous to humans. As a result, it is extremely important for you to take responsibility for making sure that these pS'C CON7R01 products are used properly. The basic steps in reducing pesticide risks are— ♦ Choosing the right pesticide product. ♦ Reading the product label. ♦ Determining the right amount to purchase and use. ♦ Using the product safely and correctly. ♦ Storing and disposing of pesticides properly. Each of these steps is described in more detail in the sections that follow. Choosing the right product is a basic step In reducing pesticide risks. Using Chemical Post Controls 13 1. L Read the label before you buy or use a pesticide product. 14 Using Oemkol Pest Controls Choosing the Right Pesticide Product Once you decide to use chemical pesticides, you must decide whether to do the job yourself or hire a professional pest control service. If you are interested in hiring professionals, see pages 36-38 for advice. If you choose to tackle the job yourself, the next question is the most important. Which pesticide product is the best one for your situation? Home -use pesticides come in many forms —including solutions, aerosols, dusts, granule's, baits, and wettable powders. As the name implies, wettable powders are usually mixed with water and/or other liquids and then applied. Pesticide solutions are often diluted with water. Certain formulations work better for some pests and/or some target areas than others. Many pesticides also come in ready - to -use forms, such as aerosols and spray bottles, which are often more practical and easy to use because they don't require measuring or mixing. Before you buy a product, read the label! Compare product labels, and learn as much as you can about the pesticide. Contact your County Cooperative Extension Service (listed in the telephone book), local pesticide dealers, the National Pesticide Telecommunications Network (NPTN) at 1-800-858-7378, or your state pesticide agency for assistance. (See pages 45-48 in the Reference Section for s.) • • When you are ready to buy a pesticide product, follow these recommendations: ♦ First, be certain that you have identified the problem correctly. Then, choose the least toxic pesticide that will achieve the results you want and be the least toxic to you and the environment. ♦ When the words "broad-spectrum" appear on the label, Us means the product is effective against a broad range of pests. if the label says "selective," the product is effective against one or a few pests. ♦ Find the signal word —either Danger -Poison, Danger, ` Warning, or Caution on the pesticide label. The signal word tells you how poisonous the product is to humans. (See page 16.) Pesticide products labeled Danger Poison are "Restricted Use" and are mainly used under the supervision of a certified applicator. For the most part, these products should not be available for sale to the consumer. ♦ Choose the form of pesticide (aerosol, dust, bait, or other) best suited to your target site and the pest you want to control. PANGBR-POISON means highly,polsohous, DANGBR,means poisonous or cokroslve. WARNING means mbdeeitely,hazardous. CAUTION means IeasChazardous. choose the ferm'.oLpesticide lbast suited ,to youx target site and the pest you Want to oontrol. Using Chemical Pest Controls Is • Reading the Pesticide Label The pesticide label is your best guide to using pesticides safely and effectively. The directions on the label are there primarily to help you achieve "maximum" benefits —the pest control that you desire — with "minimum" risk. Both depend on following label directions and correctly using the pesticide. Read the label. Read the label before buying the pesticide. Read the label before mixing or using the pesticide each time, and read the label before storing or disposing of the pesticide. Do not trust your memory. You may have forgotten part of the label instructions or they may have changed. Use of any pesticide m any way that is not consistent with label directions and precautions is illegal. It may also be ineffective and, even worse, dangerous. The main sections of a pesticide label are described below: 1 EPA Registration Number. This number tells you that EPA has reviewed the product and determined that it can be used with minimal or low risk if you follow the directions on the label properly. The number is not a stamp of approval or guarantee .N. of effectiveness. It' at n Ingredients Statement or Active Ingredients.

This section tells you if the prods can cause environmental damage --if it's harmful to wildlif fish, endangered plants or animals, wetlands, or water. no Directions for Use. Make sure that the product is labeled for use against the pest(s) that you are trying to control. (For example, products labeled only for termites should not be used to control fleas.) Use only the amounts recommended, and follow the directions exactly. 7 First Aid Instructions. The label tells you what to do if someone is accidentally poisoned by the pesticide. Look for this information in the Statement of Practical Treatment section. The instructions are only first aid. ALWAYS call a doctor or your local poison control center. You may have to take the person to a hospital right away after givingfirst aid. Remember to take the pesticide label or container with you. 8 Storage and Disposal. Read carefully and follow all directions for safe storage and disposal of pesticide products. Always keep products in the original container and out of reach of children, in a locked cabinet or locked garden shed. Some pesticides have small foldout booklets containing the label Information.

Using Chemical Pest Controls 17 `J When using pesticides that must be mixed, determine the correct amount for your Immediate use. • 18 Using Chemical Pest Controls Determining the Correct Amount To Use Many products can be bought in a convenient ready -to -use form, such as in spray cans or spray bottles, that won't require any mixing. However, if you buy a product that has to be measured out or mixed with water, prepare only the amount of pesticide that you need for the area where you plan to use the pesticide (target area). The label on a pesticide product contains much useful information, but there isn't always room to include examples of different dilutions for every home use. Thus, it is important to know how to measure volume and figure out the exact size of the area where you want to apply the pesticide. Determining the correct amount for your immediate use requires some careful calculations. Use the following example as an illustration of how to prepare only the amount of pesticide needed for your immediate pest control problem. An example: The product label says, "For the control of aphids on tomatoes, mix 8 fluid ounces of pesticide into gallon of water and spray until foliage is wet." You have. my 6 tomato plants. From experience, you know that gallon is too much, and that you really need only 1 quart f water to wet the leaves on these 6 plants. A quart is only '/a of a. gallon. Because you want to use less water than the label says, you need less pesticide. You need only t/a of the pesticide amount listed on the label —only 2 fluid ounces. This makes the same strength spray recommended by the label, and is the appropriate amount for the 6 tomato plants. In short, all you need to do is figure the amount of pesticide you need for the size of your target area, using good measurements and careful arithmetic. For help in making these calculations, see pages 39-41 in the Reference Section. .Caution:,When youuse cups; teaspoon$,,oz aabTespoons:., to measure,pestieicl'es„use only,, level-measnresiox level . spoontuls: NBVEIt u' a the same tools -that you rise for measuring;pesticides-spoons,'cnps, bottles=to,pxepare, food,.even,if you've washed them. ,.. Using Pesticides Safely and Correctly Once you have read the pesticide label and are familiar with all precautions, including first aid instructions, follow these recommendations to reduce your risks: . n LJ • Before Using a Pesticide ♦ Wear the items of protective clothing the label requires: for example, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, overalls, non - absorbent gloves (not leather or fabric), rubber footwear (not canvas or leather), a'hat, goggles, or a dust -mist filter. If no specific clothing is listed, gloves, long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and dosed shoes are recommended. You can buy protective clothing and equipment at hardware stores or building supply stores. When Mixing or Applying a Pesticide ♦ Never smoke or eat while mixing or applying pesticides. You could easily carry traces of the pesticide from your hands to your mouth. Also, some pesticide products are flammable. ♦ Follow the use directions on the label carefully. Use only for the purpose listed. Use only the amount directed, at the time and under the conditions specified. Don't change the recommended amount. Don't think that twice the amount will do twice the job. It won't. You could harm yourself, others, or whatever you are trying to protect. ♦ 'If the directions on the label tell you to mix or dilute the pesticide, do so outdoors or in a well -ventilated area. Use the amount listed on the label and measure the pesticide carefully. (Never use the same measuring cups or spoons that you use in the latchen.) Mix only the amount that you need for each application. Do not prepare larger amounts to store for possible future use.

When using traps, make sure the animal inside is dead before you touch or open the trap. IndoorApplicadons ♦ Use pesticides indoors only when absolutely necessary, and use only very'limited amounts. ♦ Provide adequate ventilation. If the label directions permit, leave all windows open and fans operating after the application is completed. If the pesticide product is only effective in an unventilated (sealed) room or house, do not stay there. Put all pets outdoors, and take yourself and your family away from treated areas for at least the length of time prescribed on the label. ♦ Apply most surface sprays only to limited areas such as cracks; don't treat entire floors, walls, or -ceilings. ♦ Remove food, pots and pans, and dishes before treating kitchen cabinets. Don't let pesticides get on any surfaces that are used for food preparation. Wait until shelves dry before refilling them. Wash any surfaces that may have pesticide residues before placing food on them. . OutdoorApplicatlons ♦ Never apply pesticides outdoors on a windy day (winds higher than 10 mph). Position yourself so that a light breeze does not blow pesticide spray or dust into your face. ♦ Before spraying, close the doors and windows of your home. ♦ Use coarse droplet nozzles on your sprayer to reduce misting, and spray as close to the target as possible. ♦ Keep pesticides away from plants and wildlife you do not want to treat. Do not apply any pesticide to blooming plants, especially if you see honeybees or other pollinating insects around them. Do not spray bird nests when treating trees. 1• Follow label directions carefully to ensure that you don't apply too much pesticide to your lawn, shrubs, or garden. Never water your lawn after applying pesticides. Before using a pesticide outdoors, check the label or contact your EPA Regional Office or County Cooperative Extension Service to find out whether the pesticide is known or suspected to run off or seep into ground water. Ground water is the underground reservoir that supplies water to wells, springs, creeks, and the like. Excessive application of pesticides could cause the pesticide to run off or seep into water supplies and'contaminate them. Excess spray may also leave harmful residues on your home- grown fruit and vegetables, and could affect other plants, wildlife, and, fish. ♦ Never mix or apply a pesticide near a wellhead. ♦ If you have a well, be sure it extends downward to water sources that are below, and isolated from, surface water sources. Be sure the well shaft is tightly sealed. For further information, see EPA's brochure Pesticides in Drinking Water Wells. (See page 42 for information on how to order a copy from SPKs Public Information Center.) 11 When using total release loggers to control pests, the important precautions you can take are to use no more than the amount needed and to keep foggers away from ignition sources (ovens, stoves, air conditioners, space heaters, and water heaters, for example). Foggers should not be used in small, enclosed places such as closets and cabinets or under tables and counters. Keep children and pets away trdm areas where you apply pesticides. Using Pesticides Sarely and Correctly 21 After Applying a Pesticide, Indoors or Outdoors ♦ To remove pesticide residues, use a bucket to rinse tools or equipment three times, including any containers or utensils that you used when mixing the pesticide. Then pour the rinsewater into the pesticide sprayer and reuse the solution by applying it according to the pesticide product label directions. (See pages 2425 for safe disposal guidelines.) ♦ Always wash your hands after applying any pesticide. Wash any other parts of your body that may have come in contact with the pesticide. To prevent tracking.pesticides inside, remove or rinse your boots or shoes before entering your home. Wash any clothes that have been exposed to a lot of pesticide separately from your regular wash. Evaluate the results of your pesticide use. Consider using a different chemical, a non -chemical method, or a.combination of non -chemical and chemical methods if the chemical treatment didn't work: Again, do not assume that using more pesticide than the label recommends ,1 will do a better job. It won't. Watch for negative effects on wildlife (birds, butterflies, and bees) in and near treated areas. If you see any unusual behavior, stop using that pesticide, and contact EPA's Pesticide Incident Response Officer (see page 35). Wash clothing wom when using pesticides separately from other laundry. • Storing and Disposing of Pesticides Properly Improper pesticide storage and disposal can be hazardous to human health and the environment. Follow these safety recommendations: Safe Storage of Pesticides ♦ Don't stockpile. Reduce storage needs by buying only the amount of pesticide that you will need in the near future or during the current season when the pest is active. ♦ Follow all storage instructions on the pesticide label.- x ♦ Store pesticides high enough so that they are out of reach .e t of children and pets. Keep all pesticides in a locked cabinet in a well -ventilated utility area or garden shed. - ♦ Store flammable liquids outside your living area and far away from an ignition source such as a furnace, a car, an outdoor grill, or a power lawn mower. ♦ Never store pesticides in cabinets with or near food, animal feed, or medical supplies. ♦ Always store pesticides in their original containers, complete with labels that list ingredients, directions for use, and first aid • steps in case of accidental poisoning. ♦ Never transfer pesticides to soft drink bottles or other containers. Children or others may mistake them for something to eat or drink. ♦ Use child -resistant packaging correctly —close the container lightly after using the product. Child resistant does not mean child proof, so you still must be extra careful to store properly — out of children's reach —those products that are sold in child - resistant packaging. ♦ Do not store pesticides in places where flooding is possible or in places where they might spill or leak into wells, drains, ground water, or surface water. ♦ If you can't identify the contents of the container, or if you can't tell how old the contents are, follow the advice on safe disposal in the next section. • Storing and Disposing of Pesticides Properly 23 ,• Safe Disposal of Pesticides ♦ The best way to dispose of small amounts of excess pesticides is to use them —apply them —according to the directions on the label. If you cannot use them, ask your neighbors whether they have a similar pest control problem and can use them. ♦ If all of the remaining pesticide cannot be properly used, check with your local solid waste management authority, environmental agency, or health department to find out whether your community has a household hazardous waste collection program or a similar program for getting rid of unwanted, leftover pesticides. These authorities can also inform you of any local requirements for pesticide waste disposal. ♦ State and local laws regarding pesticide disposal may be stricter than the ltederal requirements on the label. Be sure to check with your state or local agencies before disposing of your pesticide containers. ♦ If no community program or guidance exists, follow the label directions for disposal. In general, to dispose Do not pour leftover�pe,sticides of less than a full container of a liquid pesticide, leave down the sink. into the toilet, or it in the original container with the cap tightly in place down a sewer or street drain: t t ills or leaks Wra the container in o prev en sp p several layers of newspaper and tie it securely. Put the package in a covered trash can for routine collection with. municipal trash. If you do not have a regular trash collection service, take the package to a permitted landfill (unless your town has other requirements). Note: No more than 1 gallon of liquid pesticide at a time should be thrown out with the regular trash in this manner. ♦ Wrap individual packages of dry pesticides in several layers of newspaper (or place the pesticides in a tight carton or bag), and tape or tie the package closed.'Put the package in a covered trash can for routine collection. Note: No more than 5 pounds of dry pesticide at a time should be thrown out with the regular trash in this manner. • 24 Storing and Disposing of Pesticides Property • ♦ Do not pour leftover pesticides down the sink, into the toilet, or down a sewer or street drain. Pesticides may interfere with the operation of wastewater treatment systems or pollute waterways. Many municipal systems are not equipped to remove all pesticide residues. If pesticides reach waterways, they may harm fish, plants, and other living things. ♦ An empty pesticide container can be as hazardous as a full one because of residues left inside. Never reuse such a container. When empty, a pesticide container should be rinsed carefully three times and the rinsewater thoroughly drained back into the sprayer or the container previously used to mix the pesticide. Use the rinsewater as a pesticide, following label directions. Replace the cap or closure securely. Dispose of the cohtainer according to label instructions. Do not puncture or burn a pressurized container like an aerosol —it could explode. Do cut or puncture other empty pesticide containers made of metal or plastic to prevent someone from reusing them. Wrap the empty container and put it in the trash after you have rinsed it. ♦ Many communities have programs to recycle household waste such as empty bottles and cans. Do not recycle any pesticide containers, however, unless the label specifically states that the empty container may be recycled after cleaning. A Follow the label directions for disposal. Storing and Disposing of Pesticides Property 25 to Reducing. Your Exposure . When Others Use Pesticides *EVEN IF YOU NEVER USE PESTICIDES YOURSELF, you can still be exposed to them —at home, school, work, or play —by, being in treated areas, as a consumer of commodities that others have treated with pesticides, or through food, water, and air that may have beencontaminated with pesticides. This section describes sources of exposure other than your own use of pesticides. It also suggests ways to reduce your overall exposure. If you know or suspect that you, or others close to you; are sensitive to chemicals, consult an expert who can help you develop a strategy for handling your potential exposure problems. Exposure Through Food Commercial Food To ensure a safe food supply, EPA regulates the safety of food by • setting safety standards to limit the amount of pesticide residues that legally may remain in or on food or animal feed that Is sold in the United States. Both domestic and imported foods are monitored by the Food and -Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to ensure compliance with these safety standards. Because most crops are treated with pesticides at least some of the time, foods you buy at the grocery store may contain small traces of pesticide residues. Pesticide levels tend to deciine over time because the residues break down and because crops, are usually washed and processed before reaching the marketplace. So, while we all consume small amounts of pesticides regularly, levels In our food generally are well below legal limits by the time the food reaches the grocery shelves. Although EPA sets safety standards for the amount of pesticide residues allowed both In and on foods, you can take extra pre- cautions to reduce the traces of pesticide residues you and your family consume -in the food you buy. Follow these suggestions: ♦ Trim the fat from meat and poultry because residues of some pesticides concentrate in fat. Remove the skin from fish. • ♦ Discard the fats and oils in broths and pan drippings. 26 Reducing Your Exposure When Others Use Pesticides ♦ Rinse fruits and vegetables thoroughly with water. Scrub them with a brush and peel them, if possible. Taking these safety steps will remove most of the existing surface residues, along with any.remaining dirt. Note that surface cleaning (rinsing and scrubbing) will not remove pesticide residues that are ~` absorbed into the growing fruit or vegetable before harvest. r� ♦ Cook or bake foods to reduce residues of y some pesticides even further. P ?All, Home -Grown Food i Growing your own food can be an enjoyable activity. it is also a way to reduce your exposure to pesticide residues in food —especially if you decide not to use chemical pesticides on your produce and C7 07 you choose a garden site where drift or runoff from a neighbor's use of pesticides will not result himintended residues on your food. Ifgour house is regularly treated for pest prevention, don't plant your garden where the treatments are applied. . Food from the Wild While It may seem that hunting your own game, catching your own fish, or gathering wild plant foods would reduce your overall exposure to pesticides, that isn't necessarily true. If you eat wild animals or plants from areas where pesticides are frequently used, this food may contain pesticide residues. In addition, birds such as ducks and geese may absorb pesticide residues if they have stopped to eat treated crops anywhere along their flight path. If you eat food from the wild, you may want to take the following steps to reduce your exposure to pesticides: ♦ Do not fish in water bodies where contamination has occurred. Pay attention to posted signs that warn of contamination. ♦ Consult with fish and game officials or other appropriate official, where you plan to hunt or fish to determine whether there are any chemical problems associated with the area. ♦ Do not pick wild plants that are growing right next to a road, utility right-of-way, or hedgerow between farm fields. These areas may have been treated with pesticides. ♦ When preparing wild foods, trim fat from the meat. Discard the . skin from fish. /2, /i i; " A Rinse fruits and vegetables with water. Scrub them with a brush and peel them, If possible. Reducing Your Exposure When Others Use Pesticides 27 Do not fish in water bodies where contamination has occurred. • EPA sets standards for chemicals that may be found In drinking water. 0 Exposure Through Water When pesticides are applied to land, a certain amount may run off into streams and rivers. This runoff, together with industrial waste, may result in low-level contamination of surface water. In certain settings —for example, when sandy soil lies over a ground -water source that Is near the surface —pesticides can seep down through the soil to the ground water. To ensure a safe supply of drinking water, EPAs Office of Water sets standards for pesticides and other chemicals that may be found in drinking water. Municipal water systems test their water periodically and provide treatment or alternate supply sources If residue problems occur. Generally, private wells are not tested unless the well owner requests an analysis. If you get your drinking water from a private well — Contact your state or local health department If you have any questions about pesticide or other chemical residues in your well water. ♦ If your well water is analyzed and found to contain pesticide residue levels above established or recommended health standards, use an alternate water source such as bottled water for drinking and cooking. The safest choice Is distilled spring water in glass bottles. If you buy water from a local bottler, ask for the results of any recent pesticide analysis dhe bottled water. Exposure Through Air Outdoors Air currents may carrvesticides that were applied on properties nearby. Toucan reduce your exposure outdoors to airborne pesticide residues, or drift, by following these recommendations: ♦ If a close neighbor or someone else is applying pesticides outdoors near your home, you may want to stay indoors with your children and pets. Keep windows and exterior doors closed. ♦ If you live near fields, parks, or other areas that receive regular pesticide treatment, consider planting a group of hardy, thick -branched trees or shrubs to help serve as a buffer zone and windbreak. 28 Reducing Your Exposure When Others Use Pesticides A ♦ Careless application can lead to drift or direct spraying of non - target sites. If your property is accidentally sprayed*during an aerial pesticide application, you should call your local, state, or regional pesticide office. (See pages 44-48 in the Reference Section for phone numbers.) If you or someone in your family accidentally sprayed, wash pesticide off immediately and than; Into clean clothes. Then call your local poison control center. Some local governments require public notidmfore area -wide or broad -scale pesticide spraying activities take place. Affected residents are notified through newspaper announcements, fliers. letters, or signs posted in areas to be treated. Some communities have also enacted "right -to -know" ordinances that require public notice (usually through posting) of lawn treatments and other small-scale outdoor pesticide uses. Indoors The air you breathe may contain low levels of pesticide residues long after a pesticide has been applied to objects inside a building or to indoor surfaces and crawl spaces, or after it has been tracked In from outside, pesticides break down and disappear more slowly Indoors than outdoors. In addition, many homes have built-in energy efficiency features that reduce the exchange of indoor and • outdoor air and thus -aggravate the problem. To limit your exposure to indoor pesticide residues — Air out the building adequately after•a pesticide Is applied indoors. Open doors and windows, and run overhead, whole -house, or window fans to exchange indoor air for outdoor air rapidly and completely. ♦ If you suspect that the air in your building Is contaminated, �* consult knowledgeable professionals in your local or state health department or EPAs pesticide hotline (1-800-858-7378), 6:30 a.m.— 4:30 p.m. Pacific time (9:30 a.m.-7:30 P.M.

Reducing Your Exposure When otters Use Pesticides 29 Poisoned by Pesticides: Don't Let This Happen to Your Child! A 5-year-old boy drinks from a bottle of bleach that he found under the bathroom slnk. A 3-year-old girl tries to spray her hair the way mommy does, but sprays an aerosol disinfectant in her eyes instead. A baby who has just begun to crawl eats green pebbles from behind the sofa. They look like candy, but are really rat poison. Where'do you store your pesticides? A 1.992 nationwide stud.-, conducted by tPA revealed that almost hall (approximately 97,percent) of'surveyed' households with children under the age of 5 had at least one pesticide stored witlitri their•reach. These accidents could happen to your children or to children visiting your home if you don't store pesticides out of their reach or if you don't read the label carefully before using the pesticide product. The dangers are real: In 1993 alone, an estimated s0,000 children were exposed to or poisoned by a household pesticide product that was used or stored Incorrectly. Whether or not you have young children in your home, take the following precautions to protecbll children from unintentional pesticide poisonings or exposures: ♦ Always store pesticides out of children's reach, in locked cabinet or garden shed. Installing child -proof safety latches or padlocks on cupboards and cabinets is a good Idea. Safety latches are available at your local hardware store or bdilding supply warehouse. ♦ Before applying pesticides —indoors or outdoors —remove children and their toys, along with any pets and their toys. from the area. Keep them away from the area that has been treated until the pesticide has dried and for at least the length of time recommended on the pesticide label. ♦ If you are interrupted while applying a pesticide —by a phone call, for example —be sure to close the pesticide container properly and put it out of reach of any child who may come into the area while you are gone. • 30 Poisoned by Pesticides: Don't Let 77ds Happen to Your Childl • ♦ Never remove labels from containers, and never transfer pesticides to other containers. Children may mistake them for food or drink. ♦ Never put rodent or insect baits where small children can find them, pick them up, and put them in their mouths. . ♦ Make sure you close any container marked "child resistant" v, tightly after you use the product. Check periodically to make sure the product is securely closed. Child resistant does not mean child proof, so you should still be careful with products that are sold in child -resistant packaging. ♦ Make sure others —especially babysitters, grandparents, and other caregivers —know about the potential hazards of pesticides. ♦ Teach children that'pestiddes are poisons" —something they should never touch or eat. ♦ Keep the telephone number of younearest poison control center near each phone. Havi the pesticide container handy when you call ♦ Always keep Syrup of Ipecac on hand (in yoi . medicine cabinet) to use to induce vomiting, (Be sure the date is current.) But do not give it to your child until a physician or poison control center advises you to do so. The pesticide label may not recommend using Syrup of Ipecac.

If the person is unconscious, having trouble breathing, or having convulsions, ACT FAST! Speed is crucial. Give needed first aid immediately. Call 911 or your local emergency service. If possible, have someone else call for emergency help while you give first aid. If the person is awake or conscious, not having trouble breathing, and not having convulsions, read the label for first aid instructions. Call a doctor, a poison•control center, a local emergency service (911), or the National Pesticide Tele- communications Network (toll free at 1-800-858-,7378). Give first aid. Read the Statement of Practical Reatment section on the product label. The appropriate first aid treatment. depends on the kind of poisoning that has occurred. Follow these general guidelines: ♦ Swallowed poison. A conscious victim should drink a small amount of water to dilute the pesticide. Always keep Syrup of Ipecac on hand (in your medicine cabinet) to use to induce vomiting. Be sure the date on the bottle is current. Induce vomiting only if a poison control center or physician advises • you to do so, or if instructions on the pesticide label say so. If there is no label available to guide you, do not induce vomiting. Never induce vomiting if the victim is unconscious or is having convulsions. Poison on skin. Drench skin with 15 minutes. Remove contaminated skin and hair thoroughly with soaF Dry victim and wrap in blanket. L, discard contaminated clothing or thoroughly wash it separately from other laundry. ♦ Chemical burn on skin. Drench skin with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Cover burned area immediately with loose, clean, soft cloth. Do not apply ointments, greases, powders, or other drugs. Later, discard contaminated clothing or thoroughly wash it separately from other laundry. • If a poisoning has occurred, call for help, and be ready to read Information from the pesticide label. Handling a Pestkfde Emergency 33 • • National Pesticlde ♦ Poison in eye. Hold eyelid open and wash eye quickly and gently with clean cool running water from the tap or a hose for 15 minutes or more. Use only water; do not use eye drops, chemicals, or drugs in the eye. 'Eye membranes absorb pesticides faster than any other external part of the body, and eye damage can occur in a few minutes with some types of pesticides. ♦ Inhaled poison. If the victim is outside, move or carry the victim away from the area where pesticides were recently applied. If the victim is inside, carry or move the victim to fresh air immediately. If you think you need protection like a respirator before helping the victim, call the Fire Department and wait for emergency equipment before entering the area. Loosen the victims tight clothing. If the victim's skin is blue or the victim has stopped breathing, give artificial respiration (if you know how) and call 911 for help. Open doors and windows so no one else will be poisoned by fumes. What To Do After First Aid ♦ First aid may precede but should not replace professional medical treatment. After giving first. aid, call 911 or your local emergency service immediately. Have the pesticide label at hand when you call. ♦ Take the pesticide product container with its label to the doctor's office or emergency room where the victim will be treated. Carry the container in your trunk or flatbed away from the passengers in your vehicle. The doctor needs to know what active ingredient is in the pesticide before prescribing treatment. This information is on the label, which sometimes also includes a telephone number to call for additional treatment information.

How To Recognize Pesticide Poisoning External irritants that contact skin may cause skin damage such as redness, itching, or pimples. External irritants may also cause an allergic skin reaction that produces redness, swelling, or blistering. The mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, mouth,.and throat are also quite sensitive to chemicals. Pesticide exposure may cause stinging and swelling in these membranes. Internal injuries also may occur if a pesticide is swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Symptoms vary from organ to organ. Lung injury may result in shortness of breath, drooling (heavy salivation), or rapid breathing. Direct injury to the stomach and intestines may produce nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea. Injury to the nervous system may cause excessive fatigue, sleepiness, headache, muscle twitching, and numbness. In general, different types of pesticides produce different sets of symptoms. If someone develops symptoms after working with pesticides, seek medical help immediately'to determine if the symptoms are pesticide related. in certain cases, blood or urine should be collected for analysis, or other specific exposure tests can be made. It is better to be too cautious than too late. . Avoid potential health problems by minimizing your exposure to pesticides.

How can you be sure that the pest control company you hire will do a good job? Before you choose a company, get answers to these questions: 1 Is the company licensed? ' Most state or local agencies issue state pest control licenses. Make sure the pest control operator's licence is current if one is required in your state. Also, ask if the company's employees are bonded, meaning that the company reimburses you for any loss or damage caused by the employee. You may want to contact your state pesticide agency to find out about its pesticide certification and training programs and to ask whether periodic recertification is required for pest control operators. (See pages 45-48 for addresses and phone numbers.) In addition, possession of a city license —where they are issued —is one more assurance that the company you are dealing with is reputable and responsible. 2 Is the company willing and able to discuss the treatment proposed for your home? Selecting a pest control service is just as important as selecting other professional services. Look for the same high degree of competence you would expect from a doctor or lawyer. Any company, including those advertising themselves as "green," should inspect your premises and outline a recommended control program, including the — Pests to be controlled. ♦ Extent of the problem. ♦ Active ingredient(s) in the pesticide chosen. ♦ Potential adverse health effects and typical symptoms of poisoning associated with the active ingredient. ♦ Form of the pesticide and application techniques. ♦ Non -chemical alternatives available. I� • • ♦ Special instructions to reduce your exposure to the pesticide (such as vacating the house, emptying the cupboards, and removing pets). ♦ Steps to take to minimize your pest problems in the future. Does the company have a good track record? Don't rely on the company salesperson to answer this question. Research the answer yourself. Ask neighbors and friends if they have ever dealt with the company. Were they satisfied with the service they received? Call the Better Business Bureau or local consumer office and ,find out if they have received complaints about the company. 4 Does the company have appropriate insurance? Can the salesperson show proof on paper that the company is insured? Most contractors carry general liability insurance, including insurance for sudden and accidental pollution. Their insurance gives you a certain degree of protection should an accident occur while pesticides are being applied in your home. Contractors may also carry workmen's compensation insurance, which can help protect you should one of their employees be injured while working in or around your �- 11 apartment or house. Although most states do, I L L L L ! •- not require pest control companies to buy insurance, you should think twice before hiring a company that is not insured. 5 Does the company guaranteelts work? You should be skeptical about a company that does not guarantee its work. In addition, be sure to find out what you must do to keep your part of the bargain. For example, in the case of termite control treatments, the company's guarantee may become invalid if you make structural alterations to your home without giving prior notice to the pest control company. 6 Is the company affiliated with a professional pest control association? professional associations —national, state, or local keep members informed of new developments in pest control methods, safety, training, research, and regulations. Members agree to honor a code of ethics. The fact that a company, small or large, chooses to join a professional association signals its concern for quality. L L L L URIC LLLiLL77t L L. dW"sn a, ^Y a% h,&,,-0reta gDOC e7 dfo,ya �enf htib�e8°adroF'yp I Ask questions before choosing a pesticide company. Choosing a Pest Control Company 37 You and the company of your choice should develop the contract together. Your safety concerns should be noted and reflected in the choice bf pesticides to be used. These concerns may include allergies, sensitivities, age of occupants (infants or elderly), resident pets, and treatment near wildlife and fish. Wise consumers get bids from two or three companies and look at value more than price. What appears to be a bargain may warrant a second look. If you hire a pest control firm to do the job, ask the company to use the least toxic chemical method available that will do the job. Ask to see the label or Material Safety Data Sheet, which will show precautionary warnings. Hiring a company to take care of your pest problem does not mean your job is over. You must evaluate the results. If you believe something has gone wrong with the pesticide application, contact the company and/or your state pesticide agency. Be a responsible, wise consumer and keep asking questions until your pests are under control. • • 38 Choosing a Pest •Control Company Reference Section Calculating the Correct Amount of Pesticide To Use for Your Target Area 7o determine the size of your target area outdoors (usually a square or rectangular part of your lawn or garden), measure each side and multiply the length times the width. For example, if you want to apply a pesticide in an area that is 15 feet long and 15 feet wide, multiply 15 x 15 to get a total of 225 square feet. When you read the label for pesticides commonly applied outdoors, you will see measurements in square feet or in square yards. A section of lawn that is 1 yard long x 1 yard wide has an area of 1 square yard. Because 1 yard = 3 feet, another way to calculate the same area is this: 3 feet long x 3 feet wide = 9 square feet = 1 square yard. To know the size of your target area indoors, you may need to determine the volume of a room. You must calculate the volume of a room, for instance, before using a bug bomb • (aerosol release) to control cockroaches or fleas. In a case like this, measure and multiply the room's length times width times height. For example, if the kitchen in your apartment is 6 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 8 feet high, its volume is 240 cubic feet (6 x 5 = 30 x 8 = 240). Tables 1 to 3 (on pages 40-41) give examples for changing measurements you find on the pesticide label to match your specific target area and pest problem. • Reference Section 39 ,• Li Not all amounts are included in the tables. For amounts not included, use the following notes as a guide: ♦ To figure the,amount of a ready -to -use pesticide (not to be diluted with water), you must change the quantity of pesticide in the same way that you change the area/volume/number of items treated to keep the correct proportion. For example— t/zlb. of pesticide _ %41b. of pesticide per 1,000 sq.ft. — per 500 sq.ft. ♦ To figure the amount of a pesticide that is to be diluted with water, you must change the quantity of pesticide and the quantity of water in the same way that you change the area/ volume/number of items treated to keep the correct proportion. For example- 1 lb, of pesticide in 2 gals. of water per 2,000 sq.ft. �t/2lb. of pesticide in 1 gal. of water per 1,000 sq.ft.

Used Oil Collection Centers — Central Orange County r Did you know that just one quart of oil can pollute 250,000 gallons o f water? A clean ocean and healthy creeks, rivers, bays and beaches are important to Orange County. However, not properly disposing of used oil can lead to water pollution. If you pour or drain oil onto driveways, sidewalks or streets, it can be washed into the storm drain. Unlike water in sanitary sewers (from sinks and toilets), water in storm drains is not treated before entering the ocean. Help prevent water pollution by taking your used oil to a usedoilcollection center. Included in this brochure is a list of locations that will accept up to five gallons of used motor oil at no cost. Many also accept used oil filters. Please contact the facility before delivering your used oil. This listing of companies is for your reference and does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the company. Please note that used oil filters may not be disposed of with regular household trash. They must be taken to a household hazardous waste collection or recycling center in Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Irvine or San Juan Capistrano. For information about these centers, visit www.oclandfflls.com. Please do not mix your oil with other substances! For more information, please call the Orange County Stormwater Program at (714) 567-6363 or visit www.watersheds.com. For information about the proper disposal of household hazardous waste, call the Household Waste Hotline at (714) 834-6752 or visit www.oclandfifls.com. RECYCLE USED OIL For additional information about the nearest oil recycling center, call the Usi Oil Program at 1-800-CLEANUP or visit www.cleanup.org. ,MNwn„de,,w W P -J E-C. i fiawp, Jlny Wbe lM1 Nw.

Storm Drain Pipe or channel structure designed to convey only stormwater runoff for purposes of flood protection. Federal regulations use the term "storm sewer." Use of -the word "sewer" for a stormwater conveyance structure should be discouraged, since the word "sewer" also includes sanitary sewers and combined sewers which carry human waste. Toxicity Classification The California Department of Food and Agriculture groups pesticides into three categories according to their toxicity or potential to cause injury to people. Category 1 pesticides are the most hazardous and their use is normally restricted, while Category 3 pesticides are the least toxic to people and are generally less hazardous. • • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY is • This document was prepared to establish guidelines for the management of fertilizers and pesticides. The main objective of these guidelines is to safeguard to "the maximum extent practicable"* against unnecessary discharges of fertilizers and pesticides into surface and groundwater systems and to establish safe and reasonable standards for handling those materials. The guidelines are based on state and federal laws, environmental policies and "best management practices" established by various public and private agencies. Through this document, it is envisaged that these practices will establish a set of uniform standards and procedures. F-vi • 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Status of Fertilizer and Pesticide Use Fertilizers and pesticides are a primary tool of vegetation management. Used properly, fertilizers provide important nutrient supplies for vegetation and agriculture, and pesticides help to protect those resources from potential harm. Used improperly, fertilizers and pesticides can become an impairment to surface and groundwater supplies. Careless application, mixing, transportation, storage and disposal allow chemicals to enter surface and groundwater through runoff and infiltration; the same handling problems endanger human health through exposure to toxic chemicals; soil degradation often results from overuse and misuse of pesticides and fertilizers. Even under ideal conditions, there is still a high level of risk, and consequently, there is a need for considerable professional planning and management. 1.2 Management Options Because of the risk involved in using fertilizers and pesticides, the development of management guidelines for use of fertilizers and pesticides is an essential element of the DAMP. These guidelines are designed not only to comply with the NPDES Stormwater Program, but also to minimize any threat to human health and environmental resources from improper use of fertilizers and pesticides. It is envisaged that consideration of these guidelines by the permittees will cause public agencies to re-evaluate their approach to using fertilizers and pesticides and move toward reducing dependence on them. The guidelines that follow are intended for the use of the Permittees, although they may ultimately be used on a broader scale. They are based on the laws, management guidelines and "best management practices" established by other federal, state and local agencies. They recognize that the safe management of fertilizers and pesticides is a shared responsibility between the field worker and management. These guidelines address the concern for fertilizer and pesticide use at a basic level, and if followed, they should reasonably prevent environmental damage to the highest degree possible. 1.3 Definitions For the purpose of these guidelines, fertilizers may be referred to as "nutrients" or "soil nutrients," and the term "pesticides" will encompass all herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and rodenticides. The California Food and Agricultural Code and the California Code of Regulations, Title 3 (3 CCR)*, constitute the laws and regulations referenced in this plan. They are referenced often and usually referred to as the "State Code."* Also, Permittees will be referred to as "public agencies," and employees working for these public agencies who handle fertilizers & pesticides will be referred to as "workers" or "public employees." F-1 2.0 FERTILIZER MANAGEMENT 2.1 Definition and Scope of Guidelines Fertilizers are nutrients applied to soil to provide a better growing environment for plants. The fertilizers most commonly in use in Southern California today are nitrogen- and phosphorus -based. Both leach into soils, easily in the presence of water and have become a water quality concern, causing algal blooms and eutrophication* and; in some cases, causing levels to exceed federal drinking water standards. However, fertilizers also play the important'role of promoting vegetation growth that protects soil from erosion and enhances landscape aesthetics. Because there is a necessity for soil nutrients and because there is a potential for adverse effects on local waterways due to the loss of these nutrients through runoff and infiltration, management guidelines are necessary as a means of reducing the loss of fertilizers into water supplies. 2.2 General Considerations 2.2.1 State and Federal Law Because most fertilizers are not as toxic as pesticides, state and federal lawmakers have not developed regulations for their use. Fertilizers are not usually considered an • immediate danger to public health or safety. However, the California Fertilizer Association (CFA)*, a Sacramento -based organization, has developed complete management guidelines for fertilizer use and the State Department of Food and Agriculture has recommendations for use of nitrate -based fertilizers, both of which are available for consultation. • 2.2.2 General Recommendations 1. Public agencies should periodically have soils tested before applying fertilizers to be certain that application is appropriate for and compatible with soil conditions. The samples should be analyzed by a qualified specialist for fertilizer applications*, and workers should follow the recommendations. 2. Public agencies should choose to use organic fertilizers such as compost, peat and mulch wherever possible to increase soil porosity and water retention. 3. Workers should apply only the minimum amount of fertilizer needed and incorporate it directly into the soil around the plant, where possible, to minimize potential surface runoff. 4. Workers should not apply fertilizers in the rain or on the same day that rain is expected. 5. Workers should immediately cleanup any spill of fertilizers. F-2 6. Storage facilities should be covered and have impermeable foundations so that potential spills don't have the opportunity to runoff into surface water or leach into groundwater systems. 7. Fertilizers that may be carried by the wind should be stored in areas away from open loading spaces and entrances of storage warehouses. 8. Fertilizers should be securely covered in the vehicle before being taken to application sites so that none can spill or fly out during transport. 9. Use slow release fertilizers -- such as water soluble nitrogen fertilizers, coated fertilizers and fertilizers of limited solubility -- whenever possible to minimize the possibility of leaching. 2.3 Planning for Use of Fertilizers 2.3.1 Soil Testine Most fertilizers travel quickly through water. Therefore, fertilizers will leach through soil and potentially contaminate groundwater more quickly after excess watering or irrigation, after heavy rains and where the water table is high. For this reason, soil testing is an important management technique to determine the safest fertilizer application rate. • The California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) has a complete list of organizations in Southern California that offer soil testing and analyzing for fertilizer use. To get a copy of that list, CLCA can be contacted at (916) 448-2522. If a reliable soil analyst is not already known, it is advisable for public agencies to consult CLCA and research a specialist who can make recommendations for fertilizer use. U 2.3.2 Application Rates The amount of fertilizer needed for different applications depends on a number of factors. For specific recommendations, a qualified specialist should be consulted. The following are some factors to be considered: • The vegetation's ability to use fertilizer; • The amount of nutrients already in the soil, including fertilizer that may still be present from a previous application; • The amount of soil nutrients that will or can be obtained from natural processes; • The expected loss of nutrients from the soil; and • The temperature at the time of application. F-3 2.3.3 Timing For vegetation with different growth patterns, fertilizers should be applied at different times and in different quantities. The vegetation being managed should be researched and fertilizers applied only according to the amounts and at the time intervals recommended by a qualified specialist for fertilizer applications. This should minimize the waste of fertilizer and reduce any risk of water contamination. 2.4 Application Methods of Fertilizers This section details the most common methods for application of fertilizers. These are not the only acceptable methods of fertilizer application. Every application has its own circumstances and variables to consider. A qualified fertilizer specialist should be consulted to recommend the most appropriate application method. 2.4.1 Banding of Fertilizer Probably the most common and safest application method, this involves physically working small amounts of fertilizer into the soil in a band beneath and around the sides of a seed. It allows new roots to efficiently use the nutrients and minimizes potential nutrient loss to surface runoff. However, given the labor involved, banding may not be practical for most public agency fertilizer applications. • 2.4.2 Foliar Fertilization is This is fertilizer applied in solution form that is absorbed through ]eaves and stems. The method can reduce nutrient leaching into the soil when applied correctly and can be performed at the same time as pesticides application to avoid spraying twice. In this case, the guidelines for pesticide applications must also apply. 2.4.3 . Broadcast Application By this method, dry or liquid fertilizer is uniformly spread over the soil surface. This is often done mechanically, an example being the "drop spreader" which is usually an inverted triangle hopper. The simplest of mechanical applicators, the drop spreader is commonly mounted on wheels and pushed by hand or pulled by vehicle to drop fertilizer out of the bottom of the triangle. Other types of broadcast applicators include spray booms for liquid fertilization or "spinning disks" mounted on a moving vehicle that throw dry fertilizer into the air. It should be noted that these latter methods do not offer much contrb] over fertilizer drift in adverse weather conditions. F-4 i• 2.4.4 Fertigation Although not likely to be used by public agencies for fertilizer applications, this method is common among Californian farmers who incorporate fertilizers into irrigation water. The potential for nutrient leaching using this method, though, appears to be high. 2.5 Storage and Handling of Fertilizers 2.5.1 General Description When stored and handled properly, fertilizers present no hazard to the users' health. Public employees responsible for the storage and handling of fertilizers should be aware that some fertilizers have properties that can result in dangerous chemical reactions if, mixed with other substances or underunusual circumstances. For example, ammonium nitrate may become explosive if it becomes mixed in diesel fuel; a dehumidifier may be necessary for storage areas where sensitive fertilizers are stored. Also, because most fertilizers tend to be corrosive, concrete structures are preferred for fertilizer storage facilities. 2.5.2 Dry Fertilizer In most cases, dry fertilizers are safe to store, transport and handle. However, because • some fertilizers have unique, potentially dangerous properties, it is advisable for public agencies to consult a qualified fertilizer specialist for the safest storage and handling procedures for specific fertilizers. 2.5.3 Liquid Fertilizer 11 Fertilizers in liquid form are potentially more hazardous than dry fertilizer. Public employees responsible for storage and handling need to be aware of the specific properties of each liquid fertilizer in use, including corrosivity and tolerable temperature and pressure ranges. Protective equipment may be necessary for workers handling fertilizers such as sulfuric or phosphoric acid. A qualified fertilizer specialist should be consulted for recommending the safest handling and storage procedures for specific liquid fertilizers. F-5 0 3.0 PESTICIDE MANAGEMENT 3.1 Definition and Scope of Guidelines Pesticides are designed to kill or restrict the growth of plants and organisms, and thus, are potentially dangerous chemicals. Increasing scientific concern for their safe use and heightened public awareness of health concerns has led to more and more regulations in the United States at both the state and federal level. Pesticide use by public agencies often involves applications to keep flood control channels and roadways clear or to minimize health and safety -hazards of disease -bearing rodents and insects. Any of these applications can drain into stormwater basins if not controlled properly. Although safety concerns and the cost of complying with new regulations have encouraged some public agencies to cut back on the use of pesticides, use is still common, and their management is therefore essential. 3.2 General Considerations 3.2.1 State and Federal Law The California Department of Food and Agriculture and the federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) have set forth extensive rules and regulations that must be met by all public agencies. At an absolute minimum, public agencies must comply with these laws • or be subject to the penalties described in the statutes. 3 2 2 Chemical Labels and Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) • 1. Without exception, chemical labels* provided by the manufacturer of each pesticide are the first source of recommendations and instructions for chemical use. Whenever a chemical is to be used by a worker or a contractor of a public agency, the user needs to be intimately familiar with the label instructions and requirements. As described in the State Code (Ch. 2, Subch. 1, Art. 10), the label must appear on the immediate container of the chemical and include, in prominent, bold type, the appropriate warning or caution statement according to its toxicity classification*. If a chemical is transferred to another container, a copy of the label should be transferred with it. Workers should never handle a container that doesn't have a warning label attached, and the supervisor in charge should be immediately advised of the situation. If a label is badly damaged, the supervisor should replace it. F-6 • 2. Workers using pesticides should have readily available the Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)* for each chemical they are using. Although the MSDS is a form that may vary in appearance for different chemicals, the information is the same, as required by law. Similar to the chemical labels, these sheets contain information necessary to handle each chemical safely, and all workers should be familiar with the information. MSDS sheets include chemical identifications, hazardous ingredients, physical data, fire and explosion data, health hazards, reactivity data, spill or leak cleanup procedures, special protection an&special precautions. 3.2.3 General Recommendations 1. Public agencies should maintain a complete list of all chemicals and their -uses. 2. Public agencies should thoroughly investigate and consider all alternatives to pesticide use. 3. Workers should use pesticides only according to label instructions. 4. Work crews should bring to the work site only the amount of chemical to be used during the application and use only the minimum amount the chemical necessary. • 5. Workers should consider weather conditions that could affect application (for example, they shouldn't spray when winds are exceeding 5 mph, when raining or when rain is likely). 6. Workers should consider area drainage patterns (for example, they shouldn't apply near wetlands, streams and lakes or ponds unless it is for an approved maintenance activity). 7. Workers should consider soil conditions before applying pesticides (for example, they shouldn't apply to bare or eroded ground). 8. Workers should triple -rinse empty pesticide containers before disposal and use the leftover wash as spray. 9. Workers should never clean or rinse pesticide equipment and containers in the vicinity of storm drains*. 10. Pesticides should only be stored in areas with cement floors and in areas insulated from temperature extremes. 11. Workers should secure chemicals and equipment during transportation to prevent tipping or excess jarring in apart of the vehicle completely isolated from people, food and clothing. • F-7 • 12. Workers or their supervisors should inspect pesticide equipment, storage containers and transportation vehicles daily. 13. Public agencies should adopt a plan for dealing with potential accidents before they happen. 14. Workers should immediately clean up any chemical spill according to label instructions and notify the appropriate supervisors and agencies. 3.3 Planning for Use of Pesticides 3 3 1 Selection of Appropriate Pesticides 1. Pesticides are to be used only after recommendation from a state -licensed or certified pest control advisor. 2. Public agencies should also seek advice for appropriate pesticide use from the Orange County Agricultural Commission, from other professional pesticide handlers and/or through professional publications. The County Agricultural Commission can be contacted at (714) 447-7100. 3. A special effort should be made to limit use of restricted pesticides and all other • Category One pesticides. 3 3 2 Certification Licensing and Permittine • 1. Pesticides are only to be applied by or under the direct supervision of an individual with a qualified applicators license (QAL)* for pesticide applications or by workers with equivalent training*. 2. Chemicals listed as "restricted" in the State of California may be used only under a restricted materials permit* (StateCode Ch. 2, Subch. 4) to be issued by the Orange County Agricultural Commission. The permit must be renewed annually for continued use. For more information, contact the Commission at (714) 447-7100. 3. All other guidelines concerning permits, licensing and certification requirements to be followed before pesticide application are detailed in the State Code, Chapter 3, Subchapter 1. F-8 • 3 3.3 Employee Trainine Public agency employees must know the information on the chemical label and its MSDS before using pesticides in any capacity. In addition, they should (a) know the immediate and long-term health hazards posed by chemicals to be used, the common symptoms of chemical poisoning and the ways poisoning could occur, and (b) know the safe work practices to be followed, including the appropriate protective clothing, equipment, mixing, transportation, storage, disposal and spill cleanup procedures that 'apply to the specific chemicals being used. 2. In addition to the training and annual continuing education required for licensing and certification (3 CCR, Ch. 3, Subch.3, Art. 2), public employees are encouraged to participate in continuing pesticide education programs whenever the programs are available. . 3.3.4 Accident Miti ag tion Public agencies using pesticides should have plans for dealing with potential accidents before they happen. These plans should consider: 1. Labels and MSDS Sheets -- All workers handling pesticides must be familiar with these instructions. The steps for accident mitigation are spelled out on chemical labels • and MSDS sheets. 2. Spill Cleanup Kits -- Any time pesticides are being handled, there should be a cleanup kit on hand in case of an accident. This means there should always be a cleanup kit located in pesticide storage areas, on vehicles used to transport pesticides and on location where the chemicals are being applied. Although these kits may vary in what they contain depending on the chemical type and the situation, at a minimum they should include: • • spill -control procedures • a five gallon drum with sealable lid • a dust pan and broom • a squeegee • a shovel • protective goggles, gloves, boots, coveralls • a tarp (for covering dry spills) • detergent and water (check label or MSDS for proper use) • barricade tape, florescent traffic safety cones or string to cordon off an area • large sponges, containment booms or some other absorbent material F-9 •3. Cleanup Procedures -- Spilled pesticides must be prevented from entering the local surface and/or groundwater supplies. Specific recommendations for spill cleanup should be available on each chemical label or MSDS. Specific recommendations for the sequence of procedures may also vary depending on the situation. However, generally, in case of a spill, the responsible worker(s) should: • EVALUATE the accident and quickly determine the most immediate concerns (medical and/o`r environmental). CONTAIN OR CONTROL the spill. NOTIFY the supervisor in charge who should, in turn, notify the proper authorities. If contact cannot be made, dial 911. ISOLATE the area with fluorescent traffic safety cones, ropes or some other cordoning device to be sure that no one walks, wanders or drives through the spill area. CLEAN UP the spill as best as possible following label instructions and using the appropriate spill cleanup kit. EVALUATE any damage that may have occurred resulting from the spill (property damage, health damage, equipment damage, etc.) and make notes on all relevant details and circumstances before leaving the scene. PREPARE A COMPLETE REPORT detailing the incident immediately after leaving the scene upon returning to the work place and submit it to the immediate supervisor. 3.3.5 Emeraencv Medical Care Accident situations requiring emergency medical care are likely to involve acute exposure to potentially toxic chemicals. Instructions for handling these exposures appear on the chemical label. Workers should: 1. Be aware of the symptoms of acute exposures for each chemical being used. 2. Have -a predetermined strategy for dealing with exposure scenarios, including knowing (a) the label recommendations for dealing with acute exposures and (b) the nearest medical facility where emergency care is available. F-10 0 3 3 6 Equipment and Equipment Maintenance All equipment for the handling of pesticides should be inspected and cleaned by workers before each use to ensure that there are no problems that could lead to chemical leaks, spills or accidents during the day's work (State Code Ch. 3, Subch. 3, Art. 2). 3.3.7 Groundwater and Surface Water Protection Similar to the discussion of leaching in fertilizer management, the main factors determining the rate at which pesticides enter groundwater and surface water systems are chemical mobility, solubility and persistence and the soil type. For example, potentially dangerous chemicals are likely to have a high solubility and an extremely long half-life, and they are not likely to be easily absorbed into the soil. Therefore, chemicals that decompose rapidly may be preferred. However, note that to choose a chemical that may need to be applied two or three times as often may not make sense from a transportation and application risk standpoint. Because of these factors, regardless of the category of chemicals being used, pesticide advisors should always test the soil for compatibility with specific chemicals before recommending pesticides for a specific area. Furthermore, because the effect of these uses is not always immediately apparent, public agencies should periodically test areas that could be particularly vulnerable to contamination or deterioration. The results of these tests should be kept on public record. 3.4 Application of Pesticides 3.4.1 Supervision 1. In cases where supervision of pesticide applications is required by the State Code, supervision must be handled by a state -licensed or certified pesticide applicator. For all other pesticide applications, supervision may be handled by workers with equivalent training. 2. Public agencies that contract pesticide applications should periodically inspect contracted work crews to be certain that contractors are following proper management guidelines. Public agencies handling their own applications should likewise inspect their work crews on a regular basis to ensure that safety standards are being met. F-11 I• 3 4 2 Proper Techniques Read the label carefully and follow application instructions exactly. Be absolutely certain that the right chemical is being used for the right job before applying. 2. To prevent potentially harmful runoff, only the absolute minimum amount of pesticides should be used to ensure vegetation safety. 3. Recommendations for best weather conditions to prevent pesticide spray drift are outlined in State Code Chapter 2, Subchapter 4, Article 2. 3 4 3 User Safes and Protection 1. Public agencies should have on hand equipment for application of pesticides should include eye protection, gloves, respiratory -gear and impervious full -body, chemical resistant clothing when called for by the chemical label. 2. Even when wearing respiratory gear or masks, when dealing with spray applications of pesticides, workers should avoid directly inhaling in the spray mist. 3. Workers should avoid working alone, especially at night. 4. Workers should clean equipment, clothing and self thoroughly after each application. 5. State laws regarding re-entry into fields that have recently been treated with pesticides should be followed (State Code Chapter 3, Subchapter 3, Article 3). 6. Public agencies are responsible for knowing and informing workers about the specific pesticides being used including how they are properly handled, the dangers involved and the proper training and safety procedures. 7. Public agencies are responsible for keeping updated records and a complete list of the pesticides being used in their jurisdiction. This should include the chemicals, amount in storage, amount of applications, dates and location of applications and pests controlled with each application. 8. Public agencies should keep all relevant label and MSDS information for each chemical updated and readily available at all times to workers handling the materials. F-12 • 3.5 Storage, Disposal and Transportation 3.5.1 Proper Storage 1. Storage areas should be away from, living areas and in a covered area that is well -insulated from temperature extremes; they should have a cement floor and good ventilation. Also, storage -areas should be clearly marked according to state standards and be securely locked at all times when not in use. 2. Public agencies should ensure that chemical labels on pesticides being stored or used are kept in good condition and attached to all containers holding pesticides (State Code Ch. 3, Subch. 2, Art. 4). 3. Workers should ensure that storage equipment and containers are inspected daily for leaks or defects before being taken on the job. • Containers should also be inspected and before storing at the end of the day. 3.5.2 Proper Disposal 1. Workers should make certain that chemical containers are triple -rinsed before disposal (State Code Ch. 3, Subch. 2) • 2. It is recommended that cleaned containers be sent back to the manufacturer for recycling whenever possible. However, once triple -rinsed, most haulers will take them to most landfills. U 3. Workers should use left over rinse water as spray. 4. Public agencies should ensure that surplus or out-of-date chemicals are given to a licensed hazardous waste hauler for disposal. 3 5 3Safe Transportation Methods 1. Workers should ensure that all pesticides containers are tightly sealed and secured from tipping or excess jarring (State Code Ch. 3, Subch. 2, Art. 4). 2. Transportation compartments on vehicles should be isolated from the compartment carrying people, food and clothing and should be securely locked (State Code Ch. 3, Subch. 2, Art. 4). 3. Workers should transport only the amount of pesticide needed for the day to the site. 4. Workers should be certain that the appropriate chemical labels and MSDS sheets, a spill cleanup kit, the location of emergency medical care and a first aid kit are always brought along when transporting pesticides. F-13 • 5. Public agencies should encourage all vehicles used for pesticide transportation to include radio communications for contacting help in case of a spill or some other emergency. 4.0 INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT* 4.1 Background on Pesticide Use For most of the last 50 years, the trend in vegetation management has been toward a greater reliance on pesticides. The result has been not only a.tremendous increase in the use of many dangerous chemicals, but also an enormous increase in the number of pests that are resistant to the pesticides being produced. In essence, as more pesticides have been produced, more resistant strains of pests have evolved. Worse, recent studies have shown that the end result of this global trend has been no net gain in vegetation survival rates. With these realizations becoming well known, vegetation managers are now moving away from their reliance on pesticides and toward an integrated approach that combines limited pesticides use with more environmentally -friendly pest control techniques. 4.2 Scope of Guidelines • For public agencies in Orange County, IPM practices should be preferred to the sole use of pesticides as the primary means of vegetation management. These techniques are designed to prevent overuse and to reduce reliance on them. IPM should be considered by all public agencies or their contractors before intensive use of pesticides. The goal of IPM is not to eliminate all pests, but.to keep their populations at a manageable number. Pesticides are part of IPM techniques, but they are used in small quantities and only after all other alternatives have been reviewed. • 4.3 Alternatives to Pesticides Some of the alternatives to pesticides that may be considered as part of an IPM program include: 1. Introduction of natural predators such as ladybugs, lacewings, garter snakes and toads. Also, some bacteria, viruses and insect parasites may be preferable to pesticides. 2. Selected removal or rotation of vegetation habitat to eliminate the breeding places of specific pests. 3. Weeding, hoeing and trapping manually. Pruning and thinning of trees is also an effective means of preventing epidemic tree insects and diseases. F44 • Also, at certain times of the year and under certain environmental conditions, certain pests can be expected. Therefore, timely planting or well-timed use of small quantities of pesticides may avoid the need for some chemical use. 11 • F-15 REFERENCES California Department of Food and Agriculture, Nitrate Working Group.

Purpose The State Legislature has found: • that the limited supply of state waters are subject to ever increasing demands; • that California's economic prosperity depends on adequate supplies of water, • that state policy promotes conservation and efficient use of water, • that landscapes provide recreation areas, clean the air and water, prevent erosion, offer fire protection, and replace ecosystems displaced by development; and • that landscape design, installation, and maintenance can and should be water efficient. Consistent with the legislative findings, the purpose of this model ordinance is to: • promote the values and benefits of landscapes while recognizing the need to invest water and other resources as efficiently as possible; • establish a structure for designing, installing, and maintaining water efficient landscapes in new projects; and • establish provisions for water management practices and water waste prevention for established • landscapes. Authority cited: Sections 65591.5, 65594, Gov. Code. Reference: Sections 65591, 65591.5, 65597, Gov. Code. Model Landscape Ordinance Section 491. Definitions The words used in this ordinance have the meaning set forth below: "anti -drain valve" or "check valve" means a valve located under a sprinkler head to hold water in the system so it minimizes drainage from the lower elevation sprinkler heads. "application rate" means the depth of water applied to a given area, usually measured in inches per hour. "applied water" means the portion of water supplied by the irrigation system to the landscape. "automatic controller" means a mechanical or solid state timer, capable of operating valve stations to set the days and length of time of a water application. "backflow prevention device" means a safety device used to prevent pollution or contamination of the water supply due to the reverse flow of water from the irrigation system. "conversion factor (0.62)" means a number that converts the maximum applied water allowance from acre inches per acre per year to gallons per square foot per year. The conversion factor is calculated as follows: • (325,851 gallons/ 43,560 square feet)/12 inches = (0.62) • 325,851 gallons = one acre foot • • 43,560 square feet = one acre • 12 inches = one foot • To convert gallons per year to 100-cubic-feet per year, another common billing unit -for water, divide gallons per year by 748. (748 gallons =100 cubic feet.) "ecological restoration project" means a project where the site is intentionally altered to establish a defined, indigenous, historic ecosystem. "effective precipitation" or "usable rainfall" means the portion of total precipitation that Is used by the plants. Precipitation is not a reliable source of water, but can contribute to some degree toward the water needs of the landscape. "emitter" means drip irrigation fittings that deliver water slowly from the system to the soil. "established landscape" means the point at which plants in the landscape have developed roots into the soil adjacent to the root ball. "establishment period" means the first year after installing the plant in the landscape. Estimated Applied Water Use" means the portion of the Estimated Total Water Use that is derived from applied water. The Estimated Applied Water Use shall not exceed the Maximum Applied Water Allowance. The Estimated Applied Water Use may be the sum of the water recommended through the irrigation schedule, as referenced in Section 492 (c) (3). - "Estimated Total Water Use" means the annual total amount of water estimated to be needed to keep the plants In the landscaped area healthy. It is based upon such factors as the local evapotranspiration rate, the size of the landscaped area, the types of plants, and the efficiency of the irrigation system, as described in Section 492 (c) (4). "ET adjustment factor" means a factor of 0.8, that, when applied to reference evapotranspiration, adjusts for plant factors and Irrigation efficiency, two major influences upon the amount of water that needs to be applied to the landscape. A combined plant mix with a site -wide average of 0.5 is the basis of the plant factor portion of this calculation. The irrigation efficiency for purposes of the ET Adjustment Factor is 0.625. • Therefore, the ET Adjustment Factor (0.8) = (0.5/0.625). "evapotranspiration" means the quantity of water evaporated from adjacent soil surfaces and transpired by plants during a specific time. "flow rate" means the rate at which water flows through pipes and valves (gallons per minute or cubic feet per second). "hydrozone" means a portion of the landscaped area having plants with similar water needs that are served by a valve or set of valves with the same schedule. A hydrozone may be irrigated or non -Irrigated. For example, a naturalized area planted with native vegetation that will not need supplemental irrigation once established is a non - irrigated hydrozone. "Infiltration rate" means the rate of water entry into the soil expressed as a depth of water per unit of time (inches per hour). "Irrigation efficiency" means the measurement of the amount of water beneficially used divided by the amount of water applied. Irrigation efficiency is derived from measurements and estimates of irrigation system characteristics and management practices. The minimum irrigation efficiency for purposes of this ordinance is 0.625. Greater irrigation efficiency can be expected from well designed and maintained systems. "landscape irrigation audit". means a process to perform site inspections, evaluate Irrigation systems, and develop efficient irrigation schedules. "landscaped area" means the entire parcel less the building footprint, driveways, non -irrigated portions of parking lots, hardscapes- such as decks and patios, and other non -porous areas. Water features are included in the calculation of the landscaped area. Areas dedicated to edible plants, such as orchards or vegetable gardens are not included. "lateral line" means the water delivery pipeline that supplies water to the emitters or sprinklers from the valve. 0 "main line" means the pressurized pipeline that delivers water from the water source to the valve or outlet. . "Maximum Applied Water Allowance" means, for design purposes, the upper limit of annual applied water for the established landscaped area as specified in Section 492 (c) (2). It is based upon the area's reference evapotranspiration, the ET Adjustment Factor, and the size of the landscaped area. The Estimated Applied Water Use shall not exceed the Maximum Applied Water Allowance. "mined -land reclamation projects" means any surface mining operation with a reclamation plan approved in accordance with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975. "munch" means any material such as leaves, bark, straw or other materials left loose and applied to the soil surface for the beneficial purpose of reducing evaporation . "operating pressure" means the pressure at which a system of sprinklers is designed to operate, usually indicated at the base of a sprinkler. "overhead sprinkler Irrigation systems" means those with high flow rates (pop -ups, impulse sprinklers, rotors, etc.) "overspray" means the water which is delivered beyond the landscaped area, wetting pavements, walks, structures, or other non -landscaped areas. "plant factor" means a factor that when multiplied by reference evapotranspiration, estimates the amount of water used by plants. For purposes of this ordinance, the average plant factor of low water using plants ranges from 0 to 0.3, for average water using plants the range is 0.4 to 0.6, and for high water using plants the range is 0.7 to 1.0. "rain sensing device" means a system which automatically shuts off the irrigation system when it rains. "record drawing" or "as-builts" means a set of reproducible drawings which show significant changes In the work made during construction and which are usually based on drawings marked up in the field and other data furnished by the contractor. "recreational area" means areas of active play or recreation such as sports fields, school yards, picnic grounds, or other areas with intense foot traffic. • "recycled water," "reclaimed water," or "treated sewage effluent water" means treated or recycled waste water of a quality suitable for nonpotable uses such as landscape irrigation; not intended for human consumption. "reference evapotranspiration" or "ETo" means a standard measuremenfof environmental parameters which,affect the water use of plants. ETo is given in inches per day, month, or year as represented in Section 495, and is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a large field of four- to seven-inch tall, cool -season grass that is well watered. Reference evapotranspiration is used as the basis of determining the -Maximum Applied Water Allowances so that regional differences in climate can be accommodated. "rehabilitated landscape" means any relandscaping project that requires a permit. "run off' means water which is not absorbed by the soil or landscape to which it is applied and flows from the area. For example, run off may result from water that is applied at too great a rate (application rate exceeds infiltration rate) or when there is a severe slope. "soil moisture sensing device" means a device that measures the amount of water in the soil. "soil texture" means the classification of soil based on the percentage of sand, silt, and clay in the soil. "sprinkler head" means a device which sprays water through a nozzle. "static water pressure" means the pipeline or municipal water supply pressure when water is not flowing. "station" means an area served by one valve or by a set of valves that operate simultaneously. "turf' means a surface layer of earth containing mowed grass with its roots. Annual bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass,. Perennial ryegrass, Red fescue, and Tall fescue are cool -season grasses. Bermudagrass, Kikuyugrass, Seashore paspalum, St. Auguslinegrass, Zoysiagrass, and Buffalo grass are warm -season grasses.

Each new and existing Food Facility with a grease control device shall have an approved maintenance plan which specify the minimum maintenance frequency for, removal of all accumulated FO&G from the grease control device, which shall be determined as follows: 1. For new Food Facilities, the minimum maintenance frequency for interceptors shall be as follows: TABLE INSET: Type of Establishment Minimum Maintenance Frequency Take out only Every 45 days With wok stoves, deep fryers or more than one griddle Every 20 days Take out & sealing Every 60 days With wok stoves, deep fryers or more than one griddle Every 30 days Seating only Every 90 days dh wok stoves, deep fryers or more than one griddle very 60 days 2. For existing Food Facilities with a Grease Interceptor, the maintenance plan shall be determined in one of the following methods: I. In the same manner as for new Food Facilities under paragraph 1 above; or ii. The owner/operator of a Food, Facility in existence on the effective date of this Ordinance, may submit an application to the Director requesting that a maintenance plan other than that identified in subsection 1 above, be imposed on that Food Facility, due to the fact that the Food Facility has been following a regular maintenance cycle in the past, and based on the particular Food Facility operation,- the current regular maintenance plan is adequate to guard against FO&G passing into the sanitary sewer system. Upon a determination by the Director that an acceptable Grease Control Device maintenance plan is being followed that meets the minimum requirements set forth in the Uniform Plumbing Code, then it may be used as the approved maintenance plan for that particular Food Facility. iii. In the event it is determined that a Food Facility, as a result of a change in operations, is using a Grease Interceptor that is smaller in capacity than would be required for that Food Facility under this Ordinance, the Director may' allow said Food Facility to continue to operate with the smaller Grease Interceptor, provided the Food Facility prepares a maintenance plan acceptable to the Director that requires more frequent servicing then would otherwise be required if the proper sized Grease Interceptor was installed. C. Notwithstanding "B." above, if any Grease Interceptor at any time contains floating oil/grease in the final chamber, or sludge in any chamber that is within two (2) inches of the discharge elbow, the owner and/or operator of the Food Facility shall have the Grease Interceptor serviced such that all fats, oils, grease, sludge, and other materials are completely removed from the Grease Interceptor after which the Interceptor shall be refilled with cold water.

DEVIATIONS FROM STANDARDS OF DESIGN: The subdivider may request deviations from County -approved standard design criteria in accordance with Section 7-9-291 of the Orange County Subdivision Code. In the absence of any approved deviation request or if there is a conflict between the tentative map and the County -approved standard design criteria, the county -approved standard design criteria will prevail. Deviations Requested The subdivider is requesting the following deviations to the Orange County Subdivision Code: 1. Section 7-9-217 (street widths) to allow the width and design of the * internal private streets to be as shown on the map instead of as required per Standard Plan(s). Requests: (a) rolled curbs and gutters. (Approved.) 2. Section 7-9-273 (local street grades) to allow the grades for the subject * drives to be constructed as listed instead of the required 10t. (Approved.) Street Grades (t) A 11.0 3. Section 7-9-274 (curved local street radii) to allow the radii of curves * for the subject drives to be constructed instead of 'the required 250 feet. (Approved.) Streets Radius A 225' B 240' C 230' G 190, I 175' P 235' T 171' 0 TT 14367 (Vesting) Page 6 of 16 - * Justification: The rolled curb section is consistent with existing sections throughout the Newport Coast Development, and the deviations are requested as a result of the constraints inherent in hillside design as well as being sensitive to the Local Coastal Plan policies relative to minimal grading. * Traffic Enoineerina Comments: The applicant requests the following deviations from EMA Standard Plans and sections from the Subdivision codes: A) The applicant proposed to narrow the width of the rolled curb from 3 to 2 feet and reduce the curb height from 6" to 4-3/8". Traffic Engineering has no comment on the proposed deviation as it is found within other developments in the Newport Coast area. B) the applicant requests curve radius shorter than 250' for Street "A", "B", ,C", "G", "I", "P", and "T" respectively proposed at 2251, 2401, 2301, 190', 175', 235' and 1711. traffic Engineering does not oppose this deviation. C) The applicant requests grades steeper than 10% for "A" Street respectively proposed at 11t. Traffic Engineering does not oppose ._ this deviation. D) The applicant requests sight distance deviations from Standard Plan 1117 to allow for 175' sight distance. We recommend adherence to the 'standard plan for the intersection of "K" Street and "A" Street and the intersection of "S" Street and "A" Street due to the fact that the street geometries do not support the design speed. REQUESTED: The subdivider requests a modification pursuant to Section 7-9-533 of the Local Park Code to permit the Local Park Code requirement of 1.96 acres of park lands for the 245 dwelling units (245 du x 0.008 ac/du) be met by an allocation of 1.96 acres of park lands credit from Park Modification PM 89-03, the park implementation plan for the Irvine Coast P.C.

The project proposed by the application conforms with the Irvine Coast Development Agreement (DA 87-16) as approved by the Orange County Planning Commission in Resolution No. 88-24 dated March 29, 1988, and EMA Report dated March 11, 1992 on the Project CD 9007030002P, and as demonstrated in the following findings. l7 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 4 2. Based on the information and analysis contained in Addendum/Initial Study No. IS 940172 and EIR 528, the project will have no new significant adverse environmental effects'beyond those identified, mitigated, or for which overriding considerations were adopted in connection with previous environmental documentation prepared for the Irvine Coast LCP, the Irvine Coast Master Coastal Development Permit, and the Irvine Coast Development Agreement. The findings approving the LCP and contained in Board of Supervisors' Resolution 87-1327 and the findings certifying EIRs 4850 486, 511 and 528 contained in Resolution Nos. 88-24, 88-45, 89-38, 92-07 are incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth. 3. All development projects within the Irvine Coast Planned Community are subject to approval of a coastal development permit in compliance with Chapter 10 of the Irvine Coast LCP and the County's ."Coastal Development" District Regulations, Orange County Zoning Code Section 7-9-118. 4. This coastal development permit is for development proposals in Recreation Planning Area 11B and High Density Residential Planning Area 1C-2. 5. No 'additional refinements- to the planning area boundary between Residential Planning Area IC-2 and Private Planning Area 11B are proposed from the previously approved CD 9007030002P which are fully consistent with LCP Section I-3-M which states: "Edge conditions throughout the Irvine Coast vary greatly and the lines shown on the Land Use Map show approximate development/open space boundaries which will be more precisely located with subdivision map submittals." 6. The refinement to the planning area boundaries between Planning Areas 1C-2 and 11B previously approved as part of CD 9007030002P are consistent with LCP Section II-11-C (Planned Community Statistical Table) in that refinements to the individual planning area acreages are allowable under the certified LCP up to a maximum 10 percent, provided such refinements do not change any of the land use categories or the maximum number if dwelling units for any Planning Area or the planned community in total. 7. Development within Planning Area 11B will have only limited facilities for recreational use (i.e., trails, look out points, gazebos, etc.) (LCP I -A (page I-1.4]). PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 5 a. Development within Planning Area 11B, related both to recreational facilities and to drainage, infrastructure, and fuel modification serving permitted residential development in Planning Area 1C-2 will modify category "D" ESHA's in Planning Area 11B. No other category of ESHA will be affected, and the development within Planning Area 11B complies with LCP ESHA policies in that development is permitted to modify or eliminate vegetation and drainage courses in category "D" ESHAs, which have little or no riparian habitat value; and all development impacts will be mitigated by the Open Space Dedication and Riparian Habitat Creation Programs (LCP I-2-A-2a [page I-2.4]). 9. Development within Planning Area 1C-2 and 11B complies with LCP Visual Quality polices which protect views of major landforms in a comprehensive manner as depicted in LCP Exhibit C. Neither PA 1C-2 nor 11B is depicted on Exhibit C as containing visually significant lands. Preservation and planting enhancement of PA 11B as private open space visually softens and visually screens adjacent residential development in PA 1C-2. 10. Development within Planning Area 1C-2 and 11B complies With LCP Appendix Item 6, "Visual Analysis; The Irvine Coast Proposed Land. Use Element" in that residential development has been pulled back from Pacific Coast Highway and clustered on the ridgetops and gentle slopes of Pelican Hill so the golf course can function as a greenbelt along Pacific Coast Highway and the amount of area devoted to development on the visually prominent foreslopes is dramatically reduced. Development within Planning Area 1C-2 and 11B is consistent with LCP Tourist Commercial policies for the protection of inland views which shifted residential areas off the Pelican Hill foreslopes onto the Pelican Hill ridgetop (LCP I-2-B-Sd [page I- 2.14 and I-2.15]). 11. Development within Planning Area IC-2 is consistent with LCP Special Use Open Space policies in that an offer of dedication for Planning Area 11A has been made to the County of Orange in a form approved by the Manager, EMA-Harbors, Beaches and Parks/Program Planning Division (LCP I-3-A-2b [page 1-3.5]). 12. Planning Area 11B is proposed for limited development for passive recreational use including fuel modification areas; drainage control facilities, underground water/sewer facilities and utilities; and access and maintenance roads, and are consistent with the Principal Permitted Uses specified in LCP Section II-7-B-7 (page II-7.3 and II-7.4). r , U PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 6 13. The proposed improvements in Planning Area 11B are consistent with the applicable LCP Recreation/open Space Management Policies (LCP I-2-C-2a [page I-3.18]) based on the following: a. Recreation lands, will be owned and maintained by homeowner associations, adjoining property owners, and/or special assessment districts. b. For the purpose of establishing common (HOA) lots for fuel modification and similar purposes, residential lot lines from adjoining properties in PA 1C-2 will extend into PA 11B consistent with the LCP Recreation/Open Space Management Policies. c. Natural landforms are retained by the design of recreational facilities to minimize impact to natural stream courses and riparian vegetation. d. Less than 2% of the land within PA 11B will be developed with impervious surfaces (i.e., trails, roads, recreation facilities, etc.) e. All recreational facilities are sited on slopes generally less than 30%. f. Vehicular access is restricted to emergency and maintenance vehicles. g. No archaeological and paleontological sites will be disturbed except where necessary to provide public safety and/or utilities facilities. 14. The proposed improvements in Planning Area 11B are consistent with the applicable LCP site development standard provisions (LCP II-7-F [page II-7.5 and II-7.6]) based on the following: a. Less than 1% of the land within PA 11B will be covered by buildings. b. No building will be higher than eighteen (18) feet. c. Walls and fences will be set back a minimum of twenty (20) feet from the ultimate right-of-way line of any street. W. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 7 d. Parking areas adjacent to public/private streets will be generally screened from view by earthen berms and/or landscaping. 15. Planning Area 1C-2 is proposed for development as a single-family residential housing project, with a total of 245 dwelling units on approximately 172 acres with an overall density of 1.4 dwelling units per acre. 16. This CDP sets forth certain elements of planning approval and is processed as a large-scale plan that implements The Irvine Coast LCP Chapter II-10, Discretionary Permits and Procedures; Section II-10-A-2 and -3, Coastal Development Permits and Applications. 17. The Planning Area IC-2 portion of this CDP is divided into five (5) Development Areas establishing the following land uses, acreages, and density of dwelling units as shown below: DA IC-2a/Single-Family Detached DA IC-2b/Single-Family Detached DA 1C-2c/Single-Family Detached DA 1C-2d/Single-Family Detached DA 1C-2e/Buck Gully View Park 53.1 Acres (gross) 61 DU at•-1.1 DU/AC. 51.9 Acres (gross) 99 DU at••1.9 DU/Ac. 32.3 Acres (gross) 44 DU at••1.4 DU/AC. 21.2 Acres (gross) 41 DU at 1.9 DU/Ac. 14.0 Acres (gross) 0 DU at 0 DU/Ac. 18. The portion of the CDP encompassing the proposed residential housing project within Planning Area 1C-2 is consistent with the applicable LCP Site Development Standard provisions (LCP II-4-C-6) based on the following: a. Under the LCP, the site is designated for High Density Residential development, which permits a maximum density of IS dwelling units per gross acre. In conjunction with all developments within PA 1C-2, the overall density for PA IC-2 will be 1.4 units per acre. b. No building site area will be less than 2,500 square feet for detached/attached single-family, or non- residential development. c. Regardless of the slope of the land, the gross land • area per dwelling unit is above the 1,000 square feet minimum. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 8 d. Building height will be consistent with the maximum 35 feet standard. However, consistent with the definition for "Building Height" contained in LCP Chapter II-12 (page II-12.2): 1) where finished grades in portions of Planning Area 1C-2 are lot or greater, the maximum height above grade will not exceed 45 feet (i.e., "as specified in the development standards plus ten (10) feet"); and 2) Elevators, mechanical space, chimneys and architectural treatments may exceed the applicable 35 foot (or 45 foot) height restriction by an additional 12 feet. e. Two or more car garages will be provided for all units. f. Community recreation facilities will include pools, spas, clubhouses, and a 14.0-acre Buck Gully View Park. g. Street lights will be designed and located so that rays are aimed at the site. h. Areas of disturbed soil will be hydro -seeded to control erosion. i. Manufactured slopes along development edges will incorporate contour -grading techniques. j. The principle project collector road will maintain 36 feet of paving with 54 inch sidewalks on one side of the street. The double loaded cul-de-sacs serving the residential neighborhoods will maintain 42 feet of pavement with 54 inch sidewalks on both sides of the street, while the single -loaded cul-de-sacs provide 36 feet of pavement with 54 .inch sidewalks on one side of the street only and 6 foot parkways one both sides. Lighting along the streets will be limited to intersections and cul- de -sacs. 19. The proposed residential housing project and recreational improvements are consistent with the LCP Archeological policies in that: a. The MCDP 89-26P conditions of approval require that a County -certified archeologist complete a literature and records search and a field survey. The search PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 9 and survey for PA 1C-2 and 11B has been completed. One archeological site has-been identified for these Planning Areas. b. The MCDP 89-26P conditions of approval require that a County -certified archeologist conduct subsurface tests prior to grading and determine site disposition. Subsurface excavations have been completed and analyzed, and -reports are being prepared. Resource surveillance will be provided during grading operations. 20. The proposed residential housing project and recreational improvements are consistent with the LCP Paleontological policies in that: a. The MCDP 89-26P conditions of approval require that a County -certified paleontologist complete a literature and records search and a field survey. This search and survey had been completed. No paleontological resources were identified. b. The MCDP 89-26P conditions of approval required that a County -certified paleontologist conduct pregrading salvage and resource surveillance if necessary. Since no resources were identified, no pregrading activities are required. During grading, resource surveillance will be conducted. 21. The proposed project complies with the LCP Erosion, Sediment, Grading and Runoff policies in that the project will be developed in accordance with the Refined Master Drainage and Runoff Management Plan (MDRMP) prepared by Rivertech Inc. Storm runoff from Residential Planning Area IC-2 will be collected in streets and carried to drainage pipes, through Recreation Planning Area 11B and under Pelican Hill Road, to be released through energy dissipators located in Planning Areas 11A and Golf Course Planning Area 30A. The MDRMP was approved by the County in connection with approval of the MCDP 88-11P. The MDRMP addresses, in a comprehensive manner, the policies contained in Sections I-3-E,-I,-J,-K and -L of the LCP. It provides data on existing water quality and quantity, and an assessment of project impacts on water resources, existing and proposed riparian habitats, and off -shore marine life. Mitigation measures, long- term maintenance, and a monitoring program are described. This report demonstrates compliance with the applicable LCP policies, and its findings demonstrating such compliance are incorporated herein by reference. Specifically: 0 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 10 a. The areas to be developed are used for grazing and have a high erosion rate. After development, erosion rates will be significantly lower than existing rates and will approximate natural conditions. (LCP I-3-I-1 [page I-3, 30]) b. Plans for sedimentation and erosion control will respond to requirements for reseeding and planting disturbed soil. (LCP I-3-I-2 [page I-3.29]) c. Erosion control devices will be installed. Additional preventive erosion control measures described in the orange County Grading Manual, and the City of Irvine's Sedimentation and Erosion Control Manual will be integrated into each Development Area site plan, as appropriate. (LCP I-3-I-3,-4, and -5 [page I-3.30]) d. The MDRMP recommends that detention basins be converted to desilting basins during construction. During the design stage and prior to the initial grading operations, configurations and structural details of these desilting basins will be prepared as part of the submitted design. The erosion control design plans for each development cluster will identify additional desilting basins in accordance with OCEMA's Grading Manual. (LCP I-3-J-1 [page I- 3.30]) e. Vegetative cover and temporary mechanical means of controlling sedimentation will be established and conducted as described in the MDRMP and in accordance with Orange County's Grading Manual. (LCP I-3-J-2 and-3 [pages I-3.30 and I-3.31)) f. In order to maintain channel stability, Rivertech has identified a number of locations where detention basins may be constructed. No detention basins will be located on this site. Chapter VII of the MDRMP includes a detailed study of the mechanics of Buck Gully downstream from Newport Coast Drive. That chapter identifies and describes size and configuration of the facility required to maintain the stability of the downstream reach of Buck Gully. The sediment yield to the beach is expected to be less than existing and will approximate natural conditions. (LCP I-3-J-5 [page I-3.31]) PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 11 g. Except during the construction, Rivertech foresees no long term need for sediment catch basins. (LCP I-3-J-5 [page I-3.31]) h. Planning Areas IC-2 and 11B drain into Buck Gully, Los Trancos Canyon and the Newport Coast Golf Course. Most drainage goes into the Golf Course where all the detention basins described in CD 89-27P were sized to take IC-2 and 11B drainage flows. Also drainage into Los Trancos goes through the Newport Coast Drive drainage system and into a Golf Course detention facility approved under Master CD 88-11P and Master CD 89-26P, and project CD 89-27P for the Golf Course. These facilities were sized to take this drainage flow. The small amount of drainage that flows to Buck Gully goes through the Pelican Hill Road drainage system as approved under Master CD 88-IIP and Master CD 89-26P, and as identified for Development Area 2A-1 in CD 89-30P. i. Hydrologic computations performed by The . -Keith Companies revealed that peak discharges from the study area at Pacific Coast Highway after development would not exceed the existing peak discharges by more than 10 percent in the major canyons. The Keith Companies utilized a number of swales in the golf course and Wishbone Hill as detention basins to achieve further reduction to less than existing within Pelican Hill and Wishbone Hill watersheds: Subsequent to The Keith Company's hydrology computations, Rivertech has identified a number of additional potential locations for detention basins. These detention basins are proposed to achieve channel stability. (LCP I-3-K-1 [page I-3.31]) j. Drainage facilities will be designed and submitted with the project grading plans. (LCP I-3-K-2 and -3 [page I-3.32]) k. No retention basins will be required on -site. (LCP I-3-K-4 [page I-3.32]) 1. Impact type energy dissipaters with riprap are proposed to reduce the flow velocity and shear stress to non -eroding values at the outlet of storm drains. (LCP I-3-K-5 [page i-3.32]) • PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 12 m. Based on analysis performed by The Keith Companies, all structures draining into the study area across Newport Coast Drive have adequate capacity to convey the design discharges. Runoff from the proposed development will be released to the natural water courses. The exact terminus location of each storm drain will be determined during the design stage, based on geotechnical, hydraulics, and stream mechanics analyses. (LCP I-3-K-6 [page I-3.32]) n. Soils and engineering studies have been submitted to the County. (LCP 1-3-L-1 [page I-3.32]) o. The MDRMP addresses grading from October 15 through April 15, and identifies those measures, necessary for adequate erosion control. (LCP I-3-L-2 [page I- 3.33]) p. Project plans call for appropriate permanent and temporary stabilization techniques as identified in the soil and geotechnical reports for PA 1C-2. (LCP I-3-L-3,-5, and -6 [pages I-3.33 and I-3.34]) • q. Stockpile locations for topsoil will be identified in the final landscape plans. r. Grading for 11B is limited to the removal of vegetation in identified graded areas, (i.e., for development, public/private roads, utilities, storm drains, and other infrastructure), trails, and access/haul roads, and for areas of fuel modification. Similarly, construction equipment will be limited to these areas. (LCP I-3-L-7 [page I- 3.34]) s. The grading for PA IC-2 will be terraced to conform to the general topography. Terraces will have variable heights to avoid uniformity. Through the use of a meandering interior roadway, a stair -stepped appearance will be avoided. Perimeter edges will be treated with daylight cuts and fills following the existing topography where possible. Slopes will be varied from 2:1 and flatter, and contoured into the existing topography. Slopes will be terraced along the project interface with Newport Coast Drive and Pelican Hill Road, integrating the slopes created by roadway construction with grading for residential projects. Thus, the graded slopes will appear natural, blending into the existing environment and J PLANNING PA 940172 Page 13 RESOLUTION 95-01 mitigating the potential visual effects of grading. (LCP I-3-L-8 [page I-3.34]) 22. The LCP Development/open Space Edge policies apply to the interface between Planning Area 1C-2 and 11A and, although not specifically called for in the LCP for these planning areas, will also be applied to the interface between Planning Area 1C-2 and 11B, in that: a. The use of trees along Pelican Hill Road South will help screen the edge of development from views along Pelican Hill Road South, PCH and Crystal Cove State Park. b. The fuel modification program approved in Master CD 89-26P allows three methods of fuel modification - expanded wet zones, expanded wet zone with thinning, and wet zones at roadways. In expanded wet zone areas, fuel modification will include shrubs, meadows, and groundcover. This variation in methods has been developed to avoid the visual impacts often associated with fuel modification. All of the fuel modification will occur within Planning Areas IC-2 and 11B. The depth of fuel modification will meander depending upon topography. Conceptual Fuel Modification Plans for the project site have been approved by the County Fire Department and EMA Planning. Emergency access points to the fuel modification edges have been identified and annual maintenance will be the Homeowners Association responsibility (LCP I-3-M-4 through -10 (pages I-3.36 through I-3.40)) 23. The proposed project complies with the LCP Circulation policies (LCP I-4-E (pages I-4.19 through I-4.34)) in that: a. Roads are designed to meet County safety standards; b. Roads will be landscaped; c. All internal roadways are curvilinear and all slopes contoured into the existing topography; d. Residential areas are served by private streets and/or driveways; e. All modifications to existing roadway standards have been carefully considered and justified by safety and circulation conditions. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 14 f. Roadway grading has been blended into existing topography by contour grading, where feasible. Retaining walls and other structures have been used to minimize grading impacts. g. Traffic Management Program measures have been incorporated into the project where appropriate. h. Road design and sections for entry roads, collector roads, residential streets, and private driveways have been designed to be consistent with LCP Exhibit R, Residential Entry Road & Residential Streets -- Typical Sections. i. All roadway improvements established in LCP Exhibit Q, Irvine Coast Arterial Roadway Phasing Summary, will be installed on or before the triggering mechanisms called for in the Exhibit Q. 24. The proposed project complies with the LCP Public Works/Infrastructure policies in that. it includes necessary sewer improvements and drainage improvements. All public works/infrastructure are provided in the major public roadways approved under Master CD 89-26P and the Pelican Hill Road CDP -(for Newport Coast Drive), and the roadways proposed in this project. (LCP I-4-F-1 through -7 (pages I-4.19 through I-4.34) 25. The proposed project complies with the LCP ESHA policies in that development in PA 1C-2 is permitted to modify or eliminate vegetation and drainage courses. The Irvine Coast Open Space Dedication Program and Riparian Habitat Creation mitigate habitat lost as a result of development. (I-3-F (pages I-3.24 and I-3.25)) 26. Residential uses approved as part of the LCP were found consistent with the requirement of Coastal Act Section 30250 in that development within the Irvine Coast has been clustered near existing residential areas and existing employment centers. Clustering of residential units preserves open space, reduces grading impacts, and enhances the compatibility of private development with public open space. By clustering residential uses on the ridges away from sensitive habitat areas in the canyon bottoms the LCP complies with Coastal Act Section 30240. Approval of this CDP carries out these policies. 0 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 95-01 PA 940172 Page 15 27. In accordance with Section 30007.5 of the Coastal Act, the LCP open Space Dedication Program protects certain specified coastal resources and offsets adverse environmental impacts in residential development and recreation areas which are otherwise not mitigated. Permanent protection and preservation of major canyon watersheds, visually significant ridgelines, stream courses, archeological and paleontological sites, riparian vegetation, coastal chaparral and wildlife habitat is provided by dedication to a public agency. Large-scale master planning and dedication programming for The Irvine Coast enables the permanent protection of large, contiguous open space areas rather than the protection of smaller, discontinuous habitat areas that might result from a project -by -project site mitigation approach. A much greater degree of habitat and open space protection can be achieved by dedication programs that assemble large blocks of habitat area contiguous to Crystal Cove State Park than would be possible with project -by -project mitigation measures. The Irvine Coast Dedication Program will result in approximately 7,234 acres devoted to open space and recreation use which includes 2,807 acres in Crystal Cove State Park, 2,666 acres in Wilderness open Space, 1,161 acres in Special Use open Space Dedications, and over 600 acres in the Golf Course and other non -dedicated recreation areas. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Final EIR 528 and Addendum/Initial study No. IS 940172 were considered prior to approval of the project and determined to adequately address all potential adverse environmental impacts of the proposed project and meet all the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Orange County Planning Commission hereby approves Coastal Development Permit PA 94-0172 for Planning Areas IC-1 and 11B of the Irvine Coast Planned Community/Local Coastal Program subject to the Findings as set forth and the Conditions of Approval as shown in Attachment A-1 to this resolution.

Irrigation components such as low volume rotary stream spray heads and drip irrigation will be used to increase the time of water application therefore reducing runoff. Design of spray irrigation systems will involve "trimming" of spray pattern layout to avoid wasteful overspray onto hardscape areas. Continual maintenance will be incorporated to adjust the spray heads for maximum efficiency as well as adjustment of valve cycle timing to avoid overwatering. Timing schedule of irrigation will be limited to early morning and late evening to take advantage of low wind and cool temperatures to keep evapotranspiration to a minimum and conserve water. The landscape and hardscape design of the project is sensitive to percolation in that the large area required for driveway surface is an Old World European cobble set on a sand base to allow water penetration and avoid runoff. Walkway connections and patio edges have been designed as "stepping stones" with planted strips between which allow percolation.

References: 1) Geotechnical Review of Rough Grading Plan, Lots 11, 12 and 13 of Tract 15346, Avalon Vista, Newport Coast, County of Orange, Califomia; report by Petra Geotechnieal, Inc., dated March 22, 2005. 2) Response to Geotechnical Report Review Sheet by the County of Orange Planning and Development Services Department for Lots 12 and 13, Tract 15346, Avalon Vista, Pelican Crest, Newport Coast, County of Orange, California; report by Petra Geotechnical, Inc., dated July 5, 2005. Dear Mr. Patel: It is our understanding -that in order to satisfy the requirements of the Water Quality Control Board, the Orange County Planning and Development Services Department (OCPDSD) is requiring that the onsite drainage system within the subject site be provided with a filter system so that pollutants within the storm water will not be transmitted to any offsite storm drain systems. In addition, the OCPDSD is requiring that the onsite drainage system be designed such that as much water as possible is allowed to percolate into the subsurface soils within the site rather than being discharged into an offsite storm drain system in the form ofBW,s such as french drains or percolation fields. The subject site is underlain by moderately expansive fill and bedrock materials and is also bordered by relatively high slopes that are locally oversteepened. Based on existing geologic PETRA GEOTECHNICAL. INC. SEP 26 2005 5:16PM PETRR#GEOTECHNICAL TARSADIA HOTELS 7145481239 P.3 September 26, 2005 J.N. 771-04 Page 2 conditions, the percolation of collected surface water into the subsurface using a BMP is not recommended within the subject site due to the potential for adverse heave of the existing expansive fill and bedrock materials and adverse settlement of the existing fill materials. This adverse heave and settlement could lead to future distress of proposed improvements. In addition, percolation of the water into the subsurface soils would Iikely lead to future oversaturation of the soil and bedrock materials beneath the site. This oversaturated zone would likely migrate laterally and cause future oversaturation of the fill and bedrock materials underlying the adjacent slopes which could lead to future slope instabilityin the form ofslumps or shallow slope failures. These slumps and'slope failures could also cause future distress to proposed improvements within the site and also adversely effect structures and roadways located below the slopes. Therefore, for the subject site it is recommended that the onsite drainage system be provided with a filter system; however, onsite percolation ofwater into the subsurface soils using aBW is not recommended and should be prevented. We hope this letter serves your needs at this time. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call. Respectfully submitted, PETRR GEOTECHIVICAL, INC.

ASBS ?se defined as "those areas designated by the State Board requiring protection of species or biological communities to the extent that alteration of natural water quality is undesirable." The Ocean Plan, Section III.E.1., requires that: "Waste* shall not be discharged to areas designated as being of special biological significance. Discharges shall be located a sufficient distance from such designated areas to assure maintenance of natural water quality conditions in these areas." "Waste" is defined as the "total discharge, of whatever origin." Your discharge of storm water (dry and wet weather runoff) into the Newport Beach Marine Life Refuge Area of Special Biological Significance is subject to the prohibition against waste discharges to an ASBS. The Ocean Plan, Section III.I.1, allows the State Board to grant exceptions to this prohibition, provided that the exception will not compromise protection of ocean waters for beneficial uses, and, [t]he public interest will be served." Prior to granting an exception, the State Board must hold a public hearing, and there must be compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The U.S. EPA must also concur. Information regarding the Ocean Plan, ASBS, or existing exceptions to the Ocean Plan may be found at httii://www.swrcb-ca.gov/pinsi)ols/o]21ans/l*ndex.html . • California Environmental Protection Agency lkf�cfed Paper .0 Mr. Stephen Badum -2- OCT 18 2004 Because you do not already have an exception issued by the State Board for discharges to the ASBS, you are required to cease discharging. You may, however, request an exception to the prohibition if you believe your discharge will not compromise protection of ocean waters for beneficial uses, and the public interest will be served. Please notify the State Board prior to January 1, 2005 whether you intend to cease discharging to the specified ASBS or whether you will seek an exception. We will discuss further steps with you subsequently. Your response should be sent to Dominic Gregorio of the Division of Water Quality, Ocean Standards Unit, with a copy sent to the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board. The State Board staff will hold a workshop, at a date and location as yet to be determined, for those parties interested in pursing an exception. The purpose of this workshop will be to provide information on the procedures for applying for an exception and possible funding sources that may be available to address discharges into ASBS. You will receive an invitation to this workshop in the near future.
