Re: 402 38th Street
Escrow# 056634-MM
Dear Freedom Escrow,
The above dock was inspected by The Harbor Resources Division of the City of Newport Beach
at the property mentioned above.
We cannot transfer the pier permit until the following deficiencies have been corrected and the
property has been re-inspected:
1. It needs a new testable Backflow Prevention Device installed (please see diagram).
The Newport Beach City Municipal Code 17.60.030 states:
C.4. Prior to the transfer of an annual pier permit, all harbor structures shall be
inspected for compliance with the City’s minimum plumbing, electrical and structural
requirements, and the conditions of the existing permit. All structural deficiencies must
be corrected prior to the transfer of the permit. A fee will be charged for this inspection,
established by Resolution of the City Council.
Please call 949-644-3323 to request a reinspection. Once the property has passed reinspection
and we have the signed application, the pier will be transferred.
Sincerely,
Jake Marshall

In accordance with Title 17 of the California Administrative Code, all piers and docks must have
an approved backflow prevention device installed on the water supply line serving that pier or
dock. The purpose of the device is to protect the domestic water system from being
contaminated by seawater or by “used” water from boat holding tanks. It is also required that
this device be tested annually.
You are therefore, required to install an approved Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Device
downstream of the water meter, landward of the bulkhead or hide tide line. The size of the
device should match the size of the supply line, typically ¾” or 1” but sometimes larger.
As soon as the installation has been completed, please contact the Harbor Resources Division at
949-644-3044 for reinspection.
