SUBJECT: PREPARATION OF GRANT APPLICATION, ASBS COMPLIANCE -
MONITORING AND RELATED TASK — AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WESTON
SOLUTIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with Weston
Solutions (Weston) of Carlsbad, California to: 1) prepare a Proposition 84 grant
application request for $2.5 million for ASBS protection measures 2) perform ASBS
Compliance Monitoring, 3) develop a community monitoring program for the Newport
Coast Watershed, and 4) perform a high tide inundation survey in the harbor and along
the open coast on Balboa Peninsula at a not to exceed price of $201,369 and authorize
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
In response to the State Water Resources Control Board's (SWRCB) warning in 2004
that it would become more aggressive in enforcing the California Ocean Plan's
prohibition of pollutant discharges into sensitive marine life areas, referred tows 'Areas
of Special Biological Significance' (ASBS), the City has initiated a program to:
A. Control direct discharges from Shore Cliffs and Cameo Shores to the ocean via
storm drains, v- ditches, and small conduits.
B. Investigate if there are real impacts to the ASBS along Newport Coast due to
contaminants from the canyons discharging the ASBSs, contaminants
transported downcoast from Newport Bay or public use activities (trampling,
scavenging, and fishing).
C. Encourage interested community members to assist the City in monitoring the
health of coastal watershed resources.
Under this new amendment, Weston Solutions will perform the following three
additional tasks to move the City's ASBS protection program forward. Additionally,
Weston is also involved with preparing the Harbor Area Management Plan. Part of this
plan involves an assessment of flood risk in the Harbor in high tide events. An

additional task is proposed under this contract to perform high tide measurements to
validate predictions by the numerical model (Task 4).
Task 1) Prepare a Grant Application for $2.5 million under Proposition 84 ASBS Funds
The City is seeking to obtain $2.5 million dollars available under Proposition 84 to fund
the Buck Gully Erosion Control & Low -Flow Treatment Wetland project, perform
additional monitoring in the ASBS and in the coastal canyons, and other ASBS related
tasks. Under this task, Weston's Scope of Work includes-
1 . Preparing and submitting all required documentation to SWRCB and other
granting agency.
2. Soliciting and collating letters of support from interested parties.
3. Outlining tasks for each of the proposed projects.
4. Preparing budgets for each of the proposed projects.
5. Communicating with City staff and consultants, granting agency, and
stakeholders.
6. Providing bi- weekly status updates.
The City's match commitment to the 2.5 million grant request is $1.49 million (General
Fund). These matching funds are already in place within the CIP FY08 /09 budget and
include $1.2 for the Buck Gully Erosion Control Project, $140,000 for ASBS monitoring
tasks and $150,000 for irrigation runoff reduction measures. The State should make its
funding determination in early 2009. The cost of this task is $30,000.
Task 2) ASBS Compliance Monitoring
Before developing discharge regulations for direct discharges to the ASBS, the SWRCB
is working with local agencies adjacent to ASBSs to develop a collaborative monitoring
plan to characterize the health of each ASBS and assess if human impacts are
degrading the ASBS. This monitoring program is being developed under the BIGHT08
marine studies program that occurs every five years and is facilitated by Southern
California Coastal Water Research Project. The collaboration among SWRCB and local
ASBS responsible agencies is a precedent setting event and represents an important
recognition by Sacramento that successful protection of the ASBS requires local
agency cooperation.
SWRCB, City and other local agencies have had a productive series of meetings to
define a monitoring program that will develop the data upon which responsible
decisions can be made to protect the ASBS. Weston has attended these meetings on
its own time and has played an unusual role in helping City staff negotiate with the
SWRCB on the character and extent of the monitoring program. This is extremely
important as the results of the monitoring program are likely to form the basis for
discharge conditions the SWRCB may impose on the City and can help define future
management actions the City may wish to pursue in order to protect the ASBS Weston
efforts resulted in a significant reduction in the total cost of the monitoring program: the
cost of the monitoring program as first presented by the SWRCB would have been over
$250,000, but now looks to be around $170,000. Under this amendment, Weston will
be paid $151,369 for the tasks outlined in Attachment A. (Another consultant will be
hired under a separate contract (less than $20,000) to perform sub -tidal monitoring.)
Little Corona Offshore Study — Amendment Number 2 to Professional Services Agreement with Weston Solutions
November 25, 2008
Page 3
Under this task, Weston will collect water samples of storm water from 18 -inch culverts
that discharge directly to the beach and analyze the samples for specific constituents
and pollutants. The samples will also be analyzed for toxicity. Weston will prepare a
report with the results. The City will submit the report to the SWRCB. The State will
review this material in context with other agency reports and then prepare
recommendations for allowable discharges for drains directly discharging to the ASBS.
Task 3) Community Monitoring
To fulfill one of the Proposition 13 Newport Coast Watershed grant tasks, a monitoring
program will be developed to allow interested community members to participate in
monitoring the health of the Newport Coast watershed. Activities could include
mapping invasive species, evaluating the safety of trails, and performing routine water
quality sampling. The cost of this task is $6,000 and is funded under the Proposition 13
Newport Coast Watershed Grant.
Task 4) High Tide Inundation Survey
Weston is currently performing analysis and computer modeling to investigate what
measures might be taken to reduce flood hazards around the bay. Under this contract
amendment, a high tide inundation survey would be conducted on December 12, 2008,
when an extreme tide estimated at 7.3 feet is predicted for the Newport Harbor area,
the largest astronomical tide for the next 20 years. This survey would validate the
flooding hazards predicted by the computer modeling by measuring current velocities
and mapping horizontal and vertical extent of flood water inundation. The cost of this
task is $14,000.
Environmental Review:
All tasks fall under the Information Gathering class of projects and are therefore
categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, Section 15306.
Public Notice:
None required.

TASK 2. ASBS COMPLIANCE MONITORING
The ASBS Compliance Monitoring program is designed to be in line with regional coastal
monitoring efforts (i.e., the Bight 08 program) and meet the requirements of the California
Ocean Plan Storm Water Discharge Exemption Process in the Newport Coast Watershed. The
primary focus of this study is to support the Bight08 study program for Areas of Special
Biological Significance (ASBS).
Since 1983, the California Ocean Plan has prohibited the discharge of waste into ASBS along the
California Coast, unless the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) grants an exception
to dischargers. As part of the exception process, the SWRCB has produced a guidance document
for monitoring discharges to ASBS entitled Special Protections for Selected Storm Water and
Nonpoint Source Discharges into Areas of Special Biological Significance (Draft - March,
2008). The Draft Special Protections document is intended to define the terms and conditions
that limit storm water discharge to the 34 ASBS along the California Coast. The City of
Newport Beach (City) is listed as the responsible entity for discharges into ASBS Number 32,
the Robert E. Badham Marine Conservation Area, and they have applied for an exception with
the SWRCB to the ASBS discharge requirements.
As part of the exception process, the City has participated in the Bight '08 ASBS Planning
Committee with the SWRCB, the Southern California Coastal Wafer Research Project
(SCCWRP), and other ASBS dischargers in southern California. Together, the Committee has
developed a Regional ASBS Work Plan as part of the Southern California Bight 2008 Regional
Monitoring Survey. The Regional Work Plan is based on the Draft Special Protections
document and is intended to provide compliance guidance for the majority of ASBS dischargers
in southern California that wish to be part of a regional monitoring effort.
The Scope of Work described in this document is designed to be in compliance with the
Committee's Regional Work Plan with additional monitoring and assessment activities specific
to the needs of the City of Newport Beach and furthering understanding of watershed influences
on ASBS 32.
The tasks outlined below are based on the parameters set forth in the Committee's Regional
Work Plan and will be carried out during the 2008 -2009 storm season.
Sub -Task I. Project Management
Weston's management team will perform the following functions as part of project management:
• Administration and daily management of the contract for this project
• Coordination and communication with City staff
• Progress reporting and project invoicing on a monthly basis
• Kick -off Meeting with Weston staff
• Project conclusion presentation at meeting with City staff
Bob Stein, City of Newport Beach
Newport Coast Regional ASBS n Monitoring — Scope of Work Page 5
Weston estimates the cost to perform this sub -task will be $14,125.
Sub -Task 2. Storm Water Monitorm
The overall goal of the storm water monitoring discussed in this Scope of work is to assess how
storm water discharges affect water quality in the ASBS ocean receiving waters. There are two
areas in the northern extent of ASBS 32 that are of particular interest in addressing this goal:
Buck Gully and Stonm Drain NEW018 (defined by the SWRCB). Buck Gully represents the
largest sub - drainage in the Newport Coast Watershed that discharges to ASBS 32. It discharges
directly to the beach near the end of Poppy Street in Corona Del Mar. Because Buck Gully is a
natural drainage, it is not required to be monitored according to the Draft Special Protections
document, which targets storm drain discharges. Storm Drain NEW018 is an 18 inch culvert that
discharges to the beach approximately 150 in south of the Buck Gully discharge. It has been
targeted as part of the Regional ASBS Work Plan for monitoring because of its size and direct
discharge to ASBS 32.
Weston will monitor water quality over the course of three storms in 2008 -2009 wet weather
season at both Buck Gully and Storm Drain NEW01 8. In addition to addressing the goal of
assessing how stone water discharges affect water quality in the ASBS, the project will
distinguish the relative impacts on the ocean receiving waters from the two discharges.
Samples will be collected over the course of three storms from two locations at each site
1. Storm water effluent from each of the two discharges;
2. Ocean receiving water directly in front of each of the two discharges.
During each storm event, grab samples will be collected four times over the course of the storm:
1. Beginning of the storm when flow is initiated;
2. Beginning of the storm prior to the peak of the hydrograph;
3. At the peak of the hydrograph; and
4. During the descending limb of the hydrograph.
Each sample will be analyzed for the following constituents:
• salinity,
• total suspended solids (TSS),
• dissolved organic carbon,
• total and dissolved trace metals,
• nutrients (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus),
• polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PARs), and
• chlorinated and organophosphorus pesticides.

The complete analyte list and performance criteria are presented in Appendix A.
Weston estimates the cost to perform this sub -task will be $99,225.
Sub -Task 3. Post Storm Toxicity
Within 24 hours of the end of each of the three storms, samples will be collected from the ocean
receiving waters at two locations:
L Directly in front of Storm Drain NEW018
2. Directly in front of El Mono Creek (reference site)
Each of the six samples will be delivered by courier to the Weston Bioassessment Laboratory in
Carlsbad, California, following standard chain of custody procedures. Samples will be analyzed
for short -term chronic toxicity using the sea urchin fertilization test.
Weston estimates the cost to perform this sub -task will be $11,850.
Sub -Task 4. Data Analysis and Reportiue
Weston's team will review and analyze the data compiled under the tasks conducted in the Scope
of Work. Weston will prepare a Draft report for review by City staff. After the draft report is
accepted, a Final Report will be prepared and issued to the City. The Draft and Final Reports
will include the following elements:
Executive Summary, which will summarize the salient procedures and findings of each of
the report sections;
Introduction, which will introduce the historical background of the area, the history of
regulatory issues surround the ASBS, and identify the key questions to be answered by
the monitoring program;
Materials and Methods, which will detail the procedures and materials used to conduct
the sampling, as well as analytical and statistical approaches used in the assessment of
data;
Results, which will describe in detail the outcome of the monitoring program;
Discussion, which will elaborate on the findings relative to local and regional ASBS
monitoring, regulatory implications, and sampling concerns;
Recommendations, which will use the results of the study to determine future monitoring
activities, data gaps, and any concerns relative to the monitoring program.

TASK 3. HIGH TIDE INUNDATION SURVEY
A high tide inundation survey is proposed for December 12, 2008, when an extreme tide
estimated at 7.3 feet is predicted for the Newport Harbor area. This represents the largest
astronomical tide for the next 20 years, and monitoring is proposed to record patterns of
inundation for model validation purposes. The ability of the model to accurately depict the
December 12 flooding will build confidence in its ability to predict flooding from even larger
tides that could occur in the near future if a storm condition were to impact the coastline at the
same time as a high tide.
The proposed study involves the following three sub - tasks:
Sub -Task 1. Tide Monitoring in Newport Harbor
Monitoring the tide in Newport harbor will be conducted using an lnterocean Science s4 Tide
and Current meter. This will deployed for a period of at least several days around the high tide.
Weston estimates the cost to perform this sub -task at $4,300.
Sub -Task 2. Ground -based Observations of Flooding
Ground -based observations of flooding will be conducted throughout the study period. We will
mark areas of inundation that result from the high tide and seepage or over- topping of bulk
heads. Markings will be made along the bay -side of the Harbor, as well as along the open coast
where waves cause runup to even higher levels.
Weston estimates the cost to perform this sub -task at $8,500.
Sub -Task 3. Mapping
A post -event survey to map the horizontal and vertical extent of flood water will be constructed
from the results of the study.
Weston estimates the cost to perform this sub -task at $1,200.
The Tasks associated with Task 3 are summarized in "Table 3 below.
