6 1. Project Purpose and Scope City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report The Los Amigos Park Water Harvesting and Direct Use Demonstration Project (Project) is undertaken by the City of Santa Monica (City) to demonstrate the effectiveness of harvesting urban runoff for beneficial uses. The harvested urban runoff will replace indoor flushing and a portion of the irrigation demands, which were previously satisfied by potable water supplies. The direct harvest of wet- and dry-weather urban runoff will also aide in the restoration and protection of Santa Monica Bay through the removal of potential pollutants that may be present in runoff. The Project is expected to treat up to 100,000 gallons of stormwater and dry-weather runoff annually. The demonstration project will provide insight into the feasibility of using runoff for non-potable purposes and will provide results on design, installation, water quality improvements, and operation which will be relevant and transferable to other Southern California projects. Benefit-cost analysis and technical knowledge will be obtained to help decision-makers in future water harvesting and water quality projects. Data on water quality will be generated through monitoring of the influent and effluent, which can be used to help water management professionals meet the water quality requirements and TMDLs of downstream water bodies. Results can also be used by public health, building, and safety officials to help implement standards and codes that enhance the implementation of future projects. Upon completion, the Project will provide an innovative water resource which will break down barriers to local water resource development. Los Amigos Park, a combined use public community park and athletic field for the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD), is located in the south-western quadrant of the City. The northwest portion of the park, adjacent to Hollister Avenue, is planned to house the majority of the Project. A Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) storm drain runs west, adjacent to the park under 5 th Street. The storm drain receives runoff from a 50-acre densely urbanized watershed. Stormwater and dry-weather discharges will be diverted from the storm drain into a pre-treatment system before entering an underground cistern for storage. After passing through a multi-stage treatment, water will be delivered into the adjacent park restrooms for indoor flushing, as well as the park irrigation system

7 2. Existing Conditions City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Los Amigos Park is surrounded by urban development including high- and medium-density housing, educational facilities, and park open spaces. Located in the City of Santa Monica, the park is in close proximity to the City of Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice, as well as the Pacific Ocean. Los Amigos Park is adjacent to John Muir Elementary and Santa Monica Alternative School House (SMASH), and is associated with the address 500 Hollister Avenue, Santa Monica, California. The County Assessor s Parcel Number for the property is , of which the park occupies the northwest portion, with John Muir Elementary and SMASH occupying the rest of the parcel. The parcel is bound by Hollister Avenue to the north, 6 th Street to the east, Ocean Park Boulevard to the south, and 5 th Street to the west. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the project site. 2.1 Topography Figure 2-1 Location Map Los Amigos Park is approximately 4 acres, not including John Muir Elementary School, and is fully developed as a recreational field and athletic facility. The park contains a multi-use athletic field, baseball field, tennis courts, basketball court, and handball court. As such, the topography of the Project site is nearly flat, with a very mild slope in the southwest direction. The slope of the site is not continuous with the surrounding area; the northeast edge of the park is below street level, while the southwest edge is offset approximately 2 feet above curb level. The elevation within the park is approximately 70 feet - 7 -

8 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report above mean sea level (MSL). Figure 2-2 illustrates 20-foot contours as identified by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps (USGS, 2014). 2.2 On-Site Drainage Figure 2-2 Topographic Map Stormwater runoff from Los Amigos Park sheet flows into the unpaved athletic field. The athletic field has several french drains which convey runoff onto 5 th Street on the southwest edge of the park. A curb inlet on the corner of 5 th Street and Hollister Avenue collects runoff from the park and conveys it to Project No Project No. 578 is a 45-inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) adjacent to the park and a 48-inch RCP downstream of the manhole on 5 th Street and Hollister Avenue. Figure 2-3 illustrates the Project's on-site drainage patterns

9 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report 2.3 TMDLs and 303(d) Listings Figure 2-3 On-Site Drainage Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires the establishment of a list of impaired and threatened waters also known as the 303(d) List. The 303(d) List identifies water bodies where required pollution controls are not sufficient to attain or maintain applicable water quality standards and establishes priorities for development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) based on the severity of the pollution and the sensitivity of the beneficial uses (USEPA, 2012). A TMDL is the maximum amount of specific pollutant that a water body can receive from all sources in addition to a margin of safety while still meeting water quality standards. The Project involves the diversion and use of urban runoff (wetand dry-weather) that would normally discharge into the Santa Monica Bay, therefore the 303(d) listed water bodies of Santa Monica Beach and Santa Monica Bay are applicable to this project. The Basin Plan for the Coastal Watershed of Los Angeles and Ventura (Basin Plan) defines the water bodies in the Los Angeles and Ventura region and designates beneficial uses for each of the water bodies which impact the development of TMDLs (LARWQCB, 1994). Santa Monica Bay and Beach are designated Recreation 1 (REC-1) and Recreation 2 (REC-2) beneficial uses, meaning that recreational activities occur with and without contact with the water. Additionally, navigation (NAV), commercial and sport fishing (COMM), marine habitat (MAR), wildlife habitat (WILD), migration of aquatic organisms (MIGR), spawning, reproduction, and/or early development (SPWN), and shellfish harvesting (SHELL) beneficial uses are also identified in the Basin Plan

10 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report The following impairments, through TMDLs and 303(d) Listings have been identified for the Santa Monica Beaches and/or Bay: TMDLs Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL Santa Monica Bay Nearshore and Offshore Debris TMDL Santa Monica Bay TMDL for DDTs and PCBs 303(d) Listings Santa Monica Bay Nearshore and Offshore Fish Consumption Advisory Santa Monica Bay Nearshore and Offshore Sediment Toxicity The Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL became effective July 15, 2003 and was reconsidered and modified. The modifications became effective on July 2, This TMDL protects the beaches from high indicator bacterial counts during both dry- and wet-weather. The Santa Monica Bay Nearshore and Offshore Debris TMDL became effective March 20, 2012 and requires zero trash discharge by May The Santa Monica Bay TMDL for DDTs and PCBs was established in 2012 by the USEPA and is associated with fish consumption advisories, setting compliance limits for fish tissue. 2.4 Geotechnical Findings The J. Byer Group, Inc. performed geotechnical engineering exploration for Los Amigos Park on June 25 and 27, The resulting report, Geotechnical Engineering Exploration, Santa Monica Parks Building Replacement Project Phase I, exhibits geotechnical considerations relevant to the Project. Seven hand auger borings were performed to a maximum depth of 10 feet, with samples obtained throughout the borings. Five borings were performed near the northeast edge of the park, where the restroom, concession stand, and baseball field are located, and the other two borings were performed near the southwest corner of the park. Groundwater was not encountered during any of the seven borings. Earth materials discovered in the borings consisted mainly of fill and disturbed alluvium, consisting of silty sand and light gray to brown sand of high moisture content and medium density. Natural alluvium was found underlying the park, with layers of sand, clayey sand, sandy clay, and clay. The clays encountered were found to be gray to dark gray, moist to very moist, and firm to stiff. Geotechnologies Inc. performed a geotechnical investigation along Ocean Park Boulevard, that included Los Amigos Park, in September 2009 and June 2010, for which the findings were summarized in a geotechnical report (2010). The investigation included two borings within the southern area of the park which encountered fill deposits underlain by alluvium and shallow marine sediments. Groundwater was not encountered during the exploration within the park, but the investigation included a review of the applicable Seismic Hazard Evaluation Report, Plate 1.2, Historically Highest Groundwater Contours which indicated the highest groundwater levels along Ocean Park Boulevard being forty feet below grade. Percolation tests were performed during the geotechnical investigation and found a percolation rate of ½ inch per hour in the underlying native soils Additional soil borings will be required prior to the final design of the Project. The boring(s) must be performed to a depth greater than the proposed system invert, which is dependent on the chosen alternative discussed in Section Utilities A review of the utilities in and around Los Amigos Park shows minimal intrusion within the park. The City maintains nine street light fixtures within the park, with connections maintained along 6 th Street near Hollister Avenue and a pad mounted cabinet and pull box nearby. Irrigation piping, sourced from water

11 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report mains along 5 th Street, 6 th Street, and Hollister Avenue, are dispersed throughout the park, with additional piping from 6 th Street servicing the park s restroom and other facilities. On the streets adjacent to the park, several utility lines exist which are owned by the City and private utility companies. Active water mains run through 5 th Street, 6 th Street, Hollister Avenue, and Ocean Park Boulevard. Sewer mains can be found along 6 th Street, 5 th Street, and Hollister Avenue. The sewer and water facilities owned and operated by the City, along with the storm drain facilities owned by the LACFCD are illustrated in Figure 2-4. Figure 2-4 Sewer, Water, and Storm Drain Utilities Regarding privately owned and operated utilities; the Southern California Gas Company maintains natural gas pipelines which run on both 5 th and 6 th Street on the side of the street furthest from the park, with supply lines servicing the adjacent educational facilities. Within the park, various utilities exist including sewer, irrigation, and power lines. 2.6 Historical Land Use Section 10 of the Phase I Environmental Assessment Los Amigos Park, prepared by SCS Engineers for the City of Santa Monica (2014), describes the history of the land that the park currently occupies. According to the assessment, two small residential structures were built on the otherwise undeveloped land prior to Nearby land use was, and remains, mainly residential and educational. The property continues to be primarily undeveloped until a 1947 photograph, which depicts the property fully populated with small

12 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report structures that appear to be barracks. By 1952, the buildings on the property are razed and it appears to revert to vacant land. The property begins its current use with a lease to the Santa Monica-Malibu School District in 1954 for use as a park. By 1966, the property is known as Los Amigos Park and includes a few small structures on the north and south boundaries. A baseball diamond on the northeast end of the park can be identified by 1966, with an associated structure on the eastern side of the park. Currently, the park remains largely unchanged in layout, with major changes being the 1995 removal of an underground storage tank, a 1999 electrical permit being issued to the park, and the 2001 construction of 4 new buildings on the eastern edge of the park

13 3. Hydrology and Hydraulics City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report The hydrology and hydraulics relevant to the watershed area were conducted. Hydrologic studies within Los Angeles County are required to use the modified rational method (MODRAT) developed by LACFCD. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) developed a Hydrology Manual (2006) which outlines the methodology used for conducting a hydrologic analysis. The hydraulic analysis used project as-builts for the general geometry of the storm drain and computed the hydraulic grade line (HGL) and energy grade line (EGL) using the computer program F0515P, developed and accepted by LACFCD and titled Water Surface Pressure Gradient (WSPG). Input parameters of hydrologic discharge and water surface elevations (WSEs) for the tributary watershed were received from the LACDPW Design Division. 3.1 Study Area The catchment area tributary to the Project site is within the Santa Monica Bay Watershed and the Kenter Canyon Subwatershed in the County of Los Angeles. The Kenter Canyon Subwatershed, shown in Figure 3-1, discharges runoff from an area over 4,000 acres where Pico Boulevard reaches the Santa Monica Bay. The Project catchment area is approximately 50 acres and drainage is conveyed directly by LACFCD Bond Issue Project No. 578 into MTD No. 1729, a 96-inch RCP, which outlets into Santa Monica Bay adjacent to the Pico Kenter Canyon Storm Drain (LACDPW, 2005). The Project will divert runoff from a manhole on 5 th Street and Hollister Avenue that receives runoff from a 45-inch RCP, which transitions to a 48-inch RCP at this manhole

14 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Hydrologic Soil Type Figure 3-1 Los Amigos Park Study Area Consistent with the methodology described in the LACDPW Hydrology Manual (2006), the hydrologic soil type defined in the Hydrology Manual was used for analyzing the hydrology. Figure 3-2 demonstrates the soil types within the Los Amigos Park catchment area, where both soil type 013 (Ramona Loam) and 014 (Ramona Sandy Loam) dominate. For hydrologic calculations soil type 014 was assumed for the entire catchment because it is slightly more dominant and the runoff coefficient curve is more conservative

15 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Figure 3-2 Hydrologic Soil Type Land Use The Project catchment area is made up of mostly residential land uses including high-density residential areas comprised of low rise apartments, townhomes, and condominiums, and mixed residential areas based on the LACDPW land use Geographical Information System (GIS) data. This data identifies the average impervious area associated with each land use type which was used for the hydrologic analysis. Table 3-1 summarizes the land uses within the Project catchment area and identifies the imperviousness of the catchment based on the weighted average. The land use delineation is provided in Figure 3-3. Table 3-1 Land Use Summary Land Use Category % Impervious Area (acres) % of Catchment Local Parks and Recreation Government Offices Low-Rise Apartment, etc Mixed Residential %

16 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Watershed Delineation Figure 3-3 Land Use The catchment tributary to the Project site was delineated based on the Kenter Canyon subwatershed boundaries. Existing storm drain plans were reviewed to better understand the drainage conveyed through subsurface infrastructure and the topography was reviewed to determine street drainage. Generally speaking, the catchment drains from east to west. The methodology identified in the LACDPW Hydrology Manual (2006) requires the longest flow path and corresponding slope to be identified for the catchment. The longest flow path was determined based on the materials reviewed and field verified. The slope was estimated based on topographic data identified in Section 2.1. Figure 3-4 identifies the longest flow path and slope used for hydrologic calculations

17 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report 3.2 Rainfall - Runoff Relationship Figure 3-4 Longest Flow Path In urban areas, the design rainfall is the 25-year rainfall event, except where there is a sump which requires drainage. Drains that remove water from sumps must carry runoff from the 50-year rainfall event. All other drains must carry at least the 10-year, with streets carrying the remainder of flow. If flow depths exceed the property line or street capacity, the drain size must be increased until the requirements are met. For water quality considerations, the 85 th percentile rainfall depth must be treated. Full treatment of the 85 th percentile, 24-hour storm event is not anticipated under this project scope, but is provided for future project phases. The 85 th percentile, 24-hour storm event depth and the 10-year storm depth based on the LACDPW 85 th Percentile 24-hour Rainfall Depth Analysis (2004) and Hydrology Manual (2006) are identified in Table 3-2. All volume calculations use the 24-hour unit hyetograph with the design rainfall depth to generate runoff hydrographs. Table 3-2 Summary of Rainfall-Runoff Relationships Storm Event Frequency Storm Depth (inches) 85 th Percentile year

18 3.3 Catchment Runoff Flow Rate and Volume City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report The LACDPW time of concentration (T c ) volume calculator was used to determine the time of concentration for the catchment tributary to the Project site. The T c calculator performs calculations consistent with MODRAT and approved by Los Angeles County. The T c calculator output is summarized in Table 3-3. The undeveloped runoff coefficient (C u ) is determined based on the soil within the catchment area and the developed runoff coefficient (C d ) is determined based on C u and the percent of impervious area. The T c calculator input and output is provided in Appendix A. Table 3-3 Summary of Hydrologic Calculations for the 85 th Percentil Rain Event Storm Event Peak Flow Rate Runoff Volume C Frequency u C d T c (min) (cubic ft/second) (acre-feet) 85 th Percentile The 10-year return frequency event peak discharge was calculated by LACFCD using the rational method in use at the time of Project 578 design and construction (May 22, 1962). These values were received from the LACDPW Design Division archive records and are summarized in Table 3-4 and included in Appendix B. Table 3-4 Summary of Hydrologic Calculations for the 10-year Rain Event Storm Event Peak Flow Rate C Frequency d T c (min) (cubic ft/second) 10-year Hydraulic Analysis Hydraulic analysis conducted for the Project used as-builts for the general geometry of the existing storm drain and computed the HGL and EGL using the computer program WSPG, developed and accepted by LACFCD. For this study, the 10-year return frequency storm event was analyzed for 1,000-feet downstream and 1,500-feet upstream of the proposed diversion manhole. The design flow rate and the WSEs upstream and downstream were obtained from the LACDPW Design Division archive records for the 10-year event Computer Model The computer model WSPG is a Fortran based program developed by the LACFCD Design Systems and Standards Group of the Design Division. It has been licensed to different software developers to produce pre- and post-processing add-ons to promote ease of use through a graphic interface. WSPG computes and plots uniform and non-uniform steady flow, water surface profiles in open channels or closed conduits with irregular and regular sections. The computational procedure is based on solving Bernoulli's equation for the total energy at each section and uses Manning's formula for friction loss between sections in a reach. The program uses basic mathematical and hydraulic principles to calculate cross sectional flow area, wetted perimeter, normal depth, critical depth, pressure, and momentum. The pre-processing unit of the program translates input into an ASCII text file that is read by the Fortran computational engine which in-turn produces an output file in text format which can be translated by word processing software. For this study, the output files provide the water depth, WSE, and EGL throughout the system and are provided in Appendix C

19 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Manning's n-values Project 578, Line "J" was constructed entirely of RCP which has a recommended unitless value in "Good" condition of The recommended Manning's n-values were used in the WSPG model Existing Conditions Model Results The as-builts for Project 578, Line "J", show the diversion manhole at the northwest corner of 5 th Street and Hollister Avenue at Station At this manhole, the main line cross-section transitions from a 45-inch RCP to a 48-inch RCP with a lateral connection consisting of an 18-inch RCP. Table 3-5 tabulates the results of the WSPG output files at the manhole and the full model output is provided in Appendix C. Table 3-5 Existing Conditions Summary of Hydraulic Calculations Storm Event Frequency Q p (cfs) Diversion Manhole Station Invert Elevation (ft) Normal depth (ft) WSE (ft) Velocity (ft/sec) EGL Elev (ft) 10-year The WSPG model results were compared to the existing ground surface elevation to determine the depth to water surface in the manhole. The manhole cover is at an elevation of feet with the depth to water surface equal to 4.66 feet for the 10-year event. The EGL determines the amount of energy head available to drive water into the Project. The values noted for the manhole above include computed head losses for friction, entrance and exit conditions, and losses through the devices. The EGL corresponds with the maximum elevation the proposed storage units and gross pollutant pre-treatment devices can be. The proposed conditions will be calculated during design phase as the layout and sizing is finalized

20 4. Proposed Conditions City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report The goal of the Project is to address water quality issues related to Santa Monica Bay TMDLs and to eventually meet MS4 Permit EWMP project requirements by retaining the 85 th percentile, 24-hour storm event. The Project will be sized for two phases: 1) to maximize currently available funds, and 2) future phases of the project will provide the remaining capacity for retention to be considered an EWMP project. This section describes the design concept that will be utilized for the Project and the associated cost. 4.1 Water Quality Improvement Alternative #1 The Project will harvest and use urban runoff for irrigation and toilet flushing, as infiltration is not preferred within educational facilities and Los Amigos Park is constructed within John Muir Elementary school. A schematic drawing of improvement alternative #1 is provided in Figure 4-1, including the anticipated limits of excavation assuming a 1:1 slope to the invert with a four foot vertical drop. The excavation required to avoid shoring requirements will result in stockpiles during the storage system installation phase of construction. The stockpile configuration will depend on the contractor's preferences and construction methods, but will remain within the baseball field. The Project will divert flows from Project No. 578 at the existing manhole near the 5 th Street and Hollister Avenue intersection. The storm drain diversion line will be sized to convey the 85 th percentile, 24-hour storm event peak flow (8.19 cubic feet per second). Figure 4-1 Schematic Layout of Project Alternative #1-20 -

21 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report The storm drain diversion line will deliver runoff to a pre-treatment screening/separation device such as a continuous deflection separation (CDS) unit. The pre-treatment device will be sized for the full 85 th percentile, 24-hour storm event. It will screen, separate, and trap gross solids to remove floatables and neutrally buoyant materials. Runoff will be stored in underground chambers following pre-treatment. A stub out from the storage system will be included in the Project so that an additional storage system can be added to satisfy EWMP project requirements. Runoff will be conveyed through a second treatment system which will utilize ultra violet technology before it is pumped for non-potable water uses. Water quality data was at the proposed diversion manhole to help determine the size and type of screening that will be required as part of the ultra violet treatment system. The results represent the worst case scenario because once the complete system is installed the flows will receive pre-treatment where larger particles will be trapped and smaller particles that bypass will be settled out in the storage area. This laboratory results can be found in Appendix D. The storage system, non-potable water lines, and irrigation system will be sized based on the total construction cost, demand, and make-up water needs. The water demand associated with toilet flushing is approximately 100,000 gallons per year based on last year's water use. The system will also supplement park irrigation for a portion of the park. The irrigation system was sized assuming a fixed construction cost of $1.1 million (construction plus contingency). For alternative #1, the system will supplement irrigation to 24 percent of the park based on the 2013 irrigation schedule and water demand. The future phases of the project will be sized to satisfy EWMP project criteria. The piping system constructed during this Project will be sized to the 85 th percentile, 24-hour storm event or opportunities to expand will be integrated Cost Estimate The Class D cost estimate presented in Table 4-1 was developed using various sources of information as well as the cost estimator s best judgment.

22 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report 4.2 Water Quality Improvement Alternative #2 Alternative #2 for the project involves the use of WaterSilos. WaterSilos are vertical hollow shafts designed to receive and store runoff in the form of vertical cisterns. A schematic drawing of the Project is provided in Figure 4-2. The Project will divert flows from Project No. 578 at the existing manhole near the 5 th Street and Hollister intersection. As with the previous alternative, the diversion line will be sized to convey the 85 th percentile, 24-hour storm peak flow. Figure 4-2 Schematic Layout of Project Alternative #2 The system, similar to Alternative #1, will utilize a pre-treatment device, provide storage, and include a ultra-violet treatment system. Following secondary treatment, the water will be used for non-potable uses, including toilet flushing in the park restrooms and park irrigation. The system for this alternative was evaluated in the same manner as the previous alternative, with a fixed construction cost of $1.1 million (construction plus contingency). For alternative #2, the system will supplement irrigation to 21 percent of the park based on the 2013 irrigation schedule and water demand. The future phases of the project will be sized to satisfy EWMP project criteria. The piping system constructed during this Project will be sized to the 85 th percentile, 24-hour storm event or opportunities to expand will be integrated

23 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Cost Estimate The Class D cost estimate presented in Table 4-2 was developed using various sources of information as well as the cost estimator s best judgment.

Effectively managing risk will allow the project to be completed on time and within the budget. There is risk associated with both of the alternatives presented above in the form of general risks, which apply to both concepts, and concept specific risks. Table 4-3 highlights the general and concept specific risks. Table 4-3 Project Risk Assessment Summary Risk Scenario General Risks Minimal rain may occur Alternative #1 Risks Large volumes of soil to stockpile Storage system is very deep Alternative #2 Risks New project concept Assessment Drought conditions may continue and minimal water will be collected for reuse Residents may complain about aesthetics Increased exposure to weather thereby increasing potential turbidity Confined space entry required for maintenance purposes Unknown construction complications Unknown maintenance cost

24 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Table 4-3 Project Risk Assessment Summary Storage system is very deep 4.4 Alternative Comparison Higher costs for confined space entry required for depths of possibly up to 70 feet Will not be easy to identify when system needs maintenance due to fine sediment deposition The two alternatives discussed in this section each utilize a different type of proprietary BMP component and would be used in the same way, to harvest, store, treat, and use dry- and wet-weather runoff from the Kenter Canyon subwatershed. Table 4-4 identifies the pros and cons associated with each of the concepts to aid in comparison.

Three community stakeholder events will be conducted prior to construction and outreach will be incorporated into the parent teacher student association (PTSA) and pony league meetings. The goal of the outreach is to get the community to "buy-in" on the project and avoid potential detractors. The stakeholder events will be used to articulate the technical and policy aspects of the installation. The community-wide public education and outreach events will be developed, promoted, and hosted near the Project site. The Queue Theory provides the background on the outreach strategy that will be implemented. This theory states that satisfaction equals perception minus expectation. If a person expects a certain level of service and perceive the service reached to be higher, then they are satisfied. If a person perceives the same level of service, but had higher expectations then the person is disappointed and dissatisfied. Both perception and expectation are psychological phenomena that can be managed through an effective and thoughtful outreach strategy. The goal of the proposed outreach is to increase the perception that this project is preceding along well and manage expectations around what the project will really take

25 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report The outreach information will be tailored to the audience by avoiding the use of jargon and describing how the project will affect the residents and their families while maintaining pride in the park. During outreach, feedback and comments will be solicited and it will be made clear what will be done in regards to their feedback so that thoughts are clear. The audience targeted during outreach includes the following: Faculty, students, and parents of John Muir Elementary School; Faculty, students, and parents of SMASH; SMMUSD staff; Surrounding community and residents; and Various organizations and entities (Pony League, etc.). To communicate effectively, mostly the logistics of the project (the "how") will be outlined and less focus will be given on the objectives (the "what"). The tone used will be helpful, accessible (avoid jargon), transparent, and progressive. Two primary user experiences have been identified and will be used to communicate with the target audience. These two primary user experiences are as follows: 1. Utilitarian (how will this affect my school, my neighborhood, my commute?) Most audiences will be mostly interested in the details of dates and closures so they will not be inconvenienced. For the potential detractors, it is recommended that clear expectations are set about what will change during construction. This should be done conservatively so that their perception and reality is consistent and not as inconvenient as they expected. 2. Identify (pride of place, Santa Monicans as environmental champions) Many Santa Monicans have a strong sense of pride living in a progressive city. The communication strategy being used will frame the project as another feat that environmental champion Santa Monica has managed and enforce the idea that the city is leading the way in building sustainable communities. This strategy will help establish a social norm around supporting this project for its environmental benefits despite some personal inconveniences it may involve, as in "it is for the greater good and a matter of the city's and residents' pride." The main message to be conveyed through the outreach is that this project will help create a better and more sustainable Santa Monica. The project will be summed up as a project that involves intercepting stormwater going through a pipe under the park and treating it so the water can be recycled for park use (irrigation and toilet flushing). The outreach will emphasize that the project will reduce the amount of polluted stormwater going into the ocean, reduce potable water use through recycling, and protect the city's water supply amid a historic drought by using alternative sources (i.e., treating up to 100,000 gallons of stormwater). The outreach program will provide the logistics of the project, including design and construction schedule and dates. Additionally, frequently asked questions regarding the logistics will be addressed, such as will the park be closed and for how long and how will this affect the schools and residents nearby concerning dust, noise, safety, road blocks, etc. Once the Project is constructed, public outreach and education will be provided through the use of educational signage within the park. The signage will depict unique project features and convey messages about water quality and water conservation to school children, parents, teachers, and park users. In addition to the public outreach discussed above, outreach will be conducted with the City and SMMUSD maintenance staff using similar techniques. During this outreach, feedback will be solicited from the City and SMMUSD staff to identify preferred and feasible operations and maintenance practices

26 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Educational materials will also be distributed during this outreach and questions will be addressed. Two maintenance stakeholder meetings will be held during the design phase and will be in a similar format as the public outreach events except they will put more of an emphasis on the maintenance surrounding the project rather than the public perception

27 City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report 5. Approvals and Anticipated Requirements Coordination with various agencies will be required throughout the Project's design phase to ensure all proper permits are obtained and all requirements are satisfied. Collaboration will be required with Division of State Architects (DSA), California Coastal Commission, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH), LACFCD, SMMUSD, and City of Santa Monica. This section discusses the requirements and approvals associated with the project and each of the collaborating agencies. A list of important contacts and their roles in the project is provided in Appendix E. 5.1 Division of State Architects Los Amigos Park is part of John Muir Elementary School; therefore the project will require approval by the DSA. DSA reviews construction projects under its jurisdiction, which includes K-12 public schools and community colleges, for Title 24 compliance. Plan reviews and construction oversight by DSA mostly concern structural safety governed by the Field Act contained in the California Education Code section for K-12 public schools. Various plans associated with DSA approval are provided in Appendix F. The Project will require an access, fire safety, and structural review. DSA approval process requires the following items to be submitted: Required forms/documents; Plan review fees; Construction plans and specifications; Structural calculations; Geotechnical investigations; and Energy compliance documentation. In addition to approval prior to construction, a DSA-certified inspector must also oversee construction. The inspector must be at the job site full time and an on-site office must be provided by the contractor. It is anticipated that DSA approval process will take the longest, as the water quality improvement system for this project is not usually incorporated within schools. The approval process includes an approximate plan review time of at least 90 days and the response preparation time varies based on the project schedule, while back check submittals generally take two days. Submittals must be in accordance with all requirements identified on their checklist and provided in Appendix F so that the approval process is completed in a timely manner. A meeting was conducted with DSA on October 13, 2014 to make sure all involved parties were thinking the same way and to ensure the expectations concerning DSA approval process were accurate. The meeting summary can be found in Appendix G. 5.2 California Coastal Commission The California Coastal Commission was established by voter initiative in 1972 (Proposition 20) and was later made permanent by the Legislature through adoption of the California Coastal Act of The Coastal Commission partners with local coastal cities and counties to plan and regulate the use of land and water in the coastal zone. Development activities, which are broadly defined by the Coastal Act require a coastal permit from either the Coastal Commission or the local government acting on behalf of the Coastal Commission. Development within the coastal zone may not commence until a coastal development permit has been issued by either the Coastal Commission or a local government that has a Commission-certified local coastal program (LCP). After certification of LCP, which include land use plans (LUPs), coastal development permit authority is delegated to the appropriate local government, but the Coastal Commission retains original permit jurisdiction over certain specified lands (such as tidelands and public trust lands) (State of California, 2012). The permit application and fee schedule are provided in Appendix H. A meeting was conducted with the California Coastal Commission on October 6, 2014 and it was determined that a de minimus coastal commission permit would be required for the project

28 5.3 Los Angeles County Health Department City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report The project will collect urban runoff and flows produced by rain events for reuse within the park irrigation system and for toilet flushing. LACDPH has developed guidelines for safe reuse of non-potable water supplies for irrigation uses to ensure the public health is not at risk Irrigation Reuse Based on the Guidelines for Harvesting Rainwater, Stormwater, & Urban Runoff for Outdoor Non-Potable Uses (2011), the project would be classified as a Tier III project. Tier III projects involve "on-site or offsite collection of rainwater, stormwater, and urban runoff in cisterns for on-site or off-site uses". The following preliminary requirements are identified in the Guidelines for Pipeline Construction and Installation - for the Safe Use of Recycled/Reclaimed Wastewater (LACDPH, 2009a): Plans and specifications must be reviewed and approved prior to construction; LACDPH must inspect the proposed system prior to commencing construction; Plan check and preliminary inspection must be conducted prior to pipe installation; No excavation or open trench may be backfilled without first securing approval; and Final cross-connection testing must be conducted. Plans will be checked to confirm an approved disinfection method is being used, proper pipe materials and identification is included, proper signs are called for, and cross-connections are not occurring. The requirements associated with reusing stormwater and urban runoff for irrigation are provided in Appendix I Toilet Flushing Reuse LACDPH has not yet published requirements associated with the reuse of stormwater and urban runoff for toilet flushing, but approval from both LACDPH and City of Santa Monica Planning & Community Development Department Building and Safety Division is required prior to construction. Chapter 16 of the 2013 California Plumbing Code includes a section pertaining to "On-Site Treated Nonpotable Gray Water Systems" (Section 1604). This section outlines the treatment, connection, signage, and inspection/testing requirements associated with the reuse of stormwater and urban runoff for toilet flushing. Based on communications with LACDPH, Title 22 water quality standards are applicable to this type of reuse. Coordination with LACDPH and the City of Santa Monica Planning & Community Department Building and Safety Division will be required throughout the design process to ensure all requirements are met. Prior to construction, plans will need to be reviewed and approved. Additionally, inspections and testing will need to be conducted. 5.4 Los Angeles County Flood Control District The Project will divert flows from LACFCD Bond Issue Project No. 578 to the harvest and reuse system within Los Amigos Park. A connection permit will be required prior to construction that will allow the City to connect to the existing LACFCD facilities. The following items must be submitted prior to receiving the connection permit: Permit application; Plan checking and inspection fees; Four copies of the LACFCD as-built plans with the sketch of the connection location for the proposed connection; Two copies of the LACFCD right-of-way map; Four copies of final construction plans;

29 LACFCD existing hydrology and hydraulic data for the facility; Two sets of signed and stamped hydrology calculations; and Two sets of signed and stamped hydraulic calculations. City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Water Harvest and Direct Use Project Study Report Documents outlining the guidelines associated with obtaining the LACFCD connection permit are provided in Appendix J. 5.5 Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District As previously discussed, the Project is located within John Muir Elementary School, thus communication and coordination with the SMMUSD is required and essential to completing the project on time. It is anticipated that coordination with the SMMUSD administrators, through the City, will be required to gain access to the site for preliminary engineering work, including geotechnical and site assessments. It is also preferred that construction activities occur when the school is on summer break to minimize disruptions and nuisances. SMMUSD, per the lease agreement, requires that all equipment be removed 50 years after construction. 5.6 Additional Requirements In addition to the permits and approvals discussed above, the Project must be covered under applicable City of Santa Monica permits. A Building and Construction Permit and an Excavation Permit will be required prior to constructing the Project. A Building and Construction Permit must be obtained if a project includes construction improvement, repair, alterations, construction, or demolition, while an Excavation Permit is required if project includes the installation, repair, or removal of any facility in the public right-of-way. The Project involves construction and alterations, and will also be altering utilities within the public right-of-way, thus making these permits a requirement. Documents pertaining to these permits are provided in Appendix K

53 CWE 1561 E. ORANGETHORPE AVENUE SUITE 240 FULLERTON, CA (714) PHONE (714) FAX October 22, 2014 Rick Valte, PE Watershed Program Manager Civil Engineering Division th Street, Suite 300 Santa Monica, CA th Street Storm Drain Quantification Analysis Dear Mr. Valte, As requested, CWE has calculated the dry-weather runoff at the intersection of 5 th Street and Hollister Avenue within the City of Santa Monica and has collected two water quality grab samples from the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) storm drain, Project 578, built in the public Right-of-Way under 5 th Street and connecting to the Pico-Kentor storm drain in Pico Boulevard. CWE installed a weir at the manhole location in the intersection described above in the 48-inch section of the main line. The weir was not attached to the storm drain pipe but was fixed in position by sandbags to restrict dry-weather flows that would go through a notch in the weir plate. Due to the nature of the flow in the pipe, the water levels did not reach the notch level and no valid measurements were taken. In a calibration effort, the flows were calculated using depth measurements when the pipe was free flowing and using the Manning's equation for flow in a closed conduit. The results of the Manning's flow calculations based on depth of flow in the pipe were between 1 to 3.5 gpm or approximately 0.02 to 0.07 gpm/acre for the 50.4 acre watershed tributary to the manhole as delineated by the LACFCD and verified by reviewing maps and field investigation. Two water quality grab samples were taken after the weir was installed and time lapsed to impound enough water to take samples. A dip pole was used to take samples without contaminating the environment in the storm drain. The results of the samples are provided in Table 1.

117 Appendix G October 13, 2014 Meeting Summary

118 Los Amigos Park Regulatory Agency Meeting October 13, Introductions a. Attendees: Rick Valte, Allan Sheth (City of Santa Monica) Terry Kamibayashi, Sam Stuart (Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District [SMMUSD]) Carlos Araujo, Jay Chen (Department of State Architects [DSA]) Vik Bapna, Bill Young, Katie Harrel (CWE) 2. Project Background a. DSA wants to ensure that the project will not impact the structural stability of the street, therefore recommends all structures are placed at a great enough distance from the right of way including the area for shoring. 3. DSA a. Point of Contact i. Carlos Araujo will the point of contact b. Review Process i. Plans may undergo structural, accessibility, and fire reviews depending on the specifics of the final design. ii. Reviews will only be done at 100 percent plans. iii. An access review will be applicable if there are above ground structures or features underground that require access. Interpretive signs and/or dugout fence replacement may warrant an access review. It is recommended that an architect is involved in the access plan submittal. iv. DPH are solely responsible for reviewing the toilet flushing and irrigation plans. v. The number of plan sets depends on the reviews applicable listed in item "i" above. Submittals must also include DSA 3 form (checklist), DSA 103 Form (testing and inspection), the plan check fee, and any other requirements identified in the checklist. vi. Plans should include dimensions to specific features so that it is easy to determine what type of reviews would be applicable. vii. Certification numbers from previously approved plans should be identified and referenced on the new plans for parking, restrooms, etc. c. Structural Safety i. Structural review will include the review of shoring. ii. Structural should meet CBC 2013 requirements. d. Timeframes i. An intake meeting is recommended when plans are at 100 percent to help speed up the review process. ii. Submittals will take approximately 3-4 months. Once plans are submitted, six weeks are required for plan dispersal to the appropriate reviewers and an additional three to four weeks will be necessary to conduct the review. Comments will be sent back and plans must be resubmitted. e. Construction Monitoring i. DSA inspector(s) for continuous inspection will be required, most likely a class 2. The inspector requires an on-site office with internet access, which should be included in budget. ii. A full time on-site inspector (described above) will be employed by the developer on behalf of DSA and a field engineer (Jay Chan) will also be involved. iii. Construction Oversight Process will be per PR Department of Public Health (DPH) - items skipped because DPH representative was not present at the meeting. a. Point of Contact b. Review Process c. Timeframes Page 1

119 Los Amigos Park Regulatory Agency Meeting October 13, 2014 d. Construction Inspection e. Monitoring Requirements 5. SMMUSD a. Agreement i. Soil export is not reviewed by the school district, only soil import. ii. Requirements will be further discussed in the future. iii. There are specific wordings that must be included in the specs. Those will be provided once the specs are drafted so that the district can easily identify what sections would be applicable. The specs should also include information about the monitoring process. iv. The district would like to see the plans throughout the design process. b. Public Outreach i. The outreach should include frequently asked questions (FAQ) before the parent teacher student association (PTSA) involvement. ii. Dr. Greg from Parsons is the districts environmental consultant and should be contacted regarding the FAQ portion regarding student health. 6. Other Items a. The City of Santa Monica may be responsible for reviewing plans on behalf of DPH based on the plumbing code depending on how the agency delegates responsibility. b. To ease DSA access reviews, the path of travel from the last project should be referenced and checked to see if it still satisfies requirements. c. Codes specific to interpretive signage need to be referenced. d. It may be beneficial to move the storage system into the baseball diamond to avoid fences and other triggers for DSA access review. e. Tapping of the eyewash water line will be under a different project and not part of this project. The eyewash tapping will have an agreement between the City and SMMUSD under maintenance and will not require DSA access review. f. Chris Comacho from the City Public Landscape Division should be contacted regarding the irrigation controller. g. There needs to be thought into where contractors will park during construction. They may want to park by the beach and carpool to the site. h. Metropolitan Water District (MWD) grant funds need to be spent by April 2016 ($400,000) and require a 50 percent match. It is anticipated that the bid and award would take three months so the schedule must be considered to accommodate DSA approval time. Further discussion with MWD will be required to determine if an extension is possible. Constructing the diversion and work outside the school property as a separate project on a faster timeline may be one way of using the funds without requiring DSA involvement. i. If construction is done during the end of November until February 17 th, 2016, SM Pony League will be displaced from November 27 th to February 17 th and their start of the season will be impacted. The opening day for 2015 is set for February 28 th and it can be assumed it will be around the same time in Next Meeting a. A meeting will be held next with DPH and will not include DSA. Page 2

Permits shall not be issued without full payment for all applicable fees. If overpayment of a fee occurs, a refund will be issued. Fees are assessed at the time of application, based on the project as proposed initially. If the size or scope of a proposed development is amended during the application review process, the fee may be changed. If a permit application is withdrawn, a refund will be due only if no significant staff review time has been expended (e.g., the staff report has not yet been prepared). Denial of a permit application by the Commission is not grounds for a refund. If different types of development are included on one site under one application, the fee is based on the sum of each fee that would apply if each development were applied for separately, not to exceed $109,600 for residential development and $274,000 for all other types of development. Fees for after-the-fact (ATF) permit applications shall be five times the regular permit application fee unless the Executive Director reduces the fee to no less than two times the regular permit application fee. The Executive Director may reduce the fee if it is determined that either: (1) the ATF application can be processed by staff without significant additional review time (as compared to the time required for the processing of a regular permit,) or (2) the owner did not undertake the development for which the owner is seeking the ATF permit. In addition to the above fees, the Commission may require the applicant to reimburse it for any additional reasonable expenses incurred in its consideration of the permit application, including the costs of providing public notice. The Executive Director shall waive the application fee where requested by resolution of the Commission.

BROWN, JR., GOVERNOR W6f DATE June 27, 2014 TO: FROM: Coastal Commission and Other Interested Persons Charles Lester, Executive Director Susan Hansch, Chief Deputy Director SUBJECT: Filing Fee Increase Effective July 1, 2014 Information Item/No Commission Action Required The Commission s Application filing fees are governed by the Coastal Act and implementing regulations. (See Pub. Res. Code 30620(c); 14 Cal Code Reg ) Under the Commission s regulations, the filing fees are adjusted annually to account for inflation. The change from 2013 is 1.9 percent. The cumulative increase from 2008 to 2014 is 9.6 percent. Specifically, the Commission s regulations provide: The fees established shall be increased annually by an amount calculated on the basis of the percentage change from the year in which this provision becomes effective in the California Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers as determined by the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section The increased fee amounts shall become effective on July 1 of each year. The new fee amounts shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, 13055(c).) This requirement to adjust annually for inflation became effective in March The fees generated are deposited into the Coastal Act Services Fund. Upon appropriation by the Legislature, the Commission may expend the money for implementation of the Coastal Act. Each year, $500,000 (adjusted annually for inflation) is transferred to the State Coastal Conservancy s Coastal Access Account. (See Pub. Res. Code and ) Based on the Department of Industrial Relations CPI Index Calculator, the California Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers between April 2008 thru April 2014 increased by 9.6%. ( The schedule of filing fees will be adjusted for inflation effective July 1, The new fee schedule will be posted on the Commission s website and is attached, hereto. (See Exhibit 1.)

162 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Cross Connection & Water Pollution Control Program 5050 Commerce Drive, Baldwin Park, CA Tel (626) FAX (626) REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION FOR SAFE REUSE OF RAINFALL / RUN-OFF, NON-POTABLE CISTERN WATER AND URBAN RUN-OFF WATER (Rev ) Rain barrels and cisterns are methods of storing rainfall and run-off on-site for landscape irrigation purposes. In semi-arid Los Angeles County, rainfall, run-off and the reuse of captured rainfall could greatly reduce the amount of water that must be imported. For this reason, there should be no reasonable impediment to storing and reusing rainfall and run-off, provided it can be done safely while protecting the health of the public. As a result of increased interest and initiative to use untreated rainfall/non-potable cistern water and urban run-off water for onsite landscape irrigation purposes, the Department of Public Health (the Department) has found it necessary to develop the following requirements for water pipeline construction, installation and safe re-use of non-potable water supplies. The purpose of these requirements is to provide the necessary procedures for obtaining approval for the installation of pipeline which will convey untreated rainfall, non-potable cistern water and /or urban run-off water for irrigation purposes. Moreover, it is intended to establish requirements for the protection of the potable domestic water supply as well as public health. PLEASE NOTE: Presently within the County of Los Angeles there are no regulatory definitions of rainfall, nonpotable cistern water or urban run-off that would categorize them as either recycled / reclaimed water or other regulated water source. These types of non-potable water sources are categorized within the scope of alternate non-potable water supply. Therefore rainfall/run-off, non-potable cistern and urban run-off water, for the purposes of these requirements shall be recognized by the Department (pending adoption of proposed regulation) as alternate nonpotable water supply sources and regulations pertaining to the protection of the domestic water supply in relation to an alternate non-potable water supply sources shall apply. The following requirements are intended to focus on projects which integrate below grade pipelines, pumps and large capacity holding tanks. They are not intended for application to rain barrels that collect rainfall / run-off water from residential rooftops, gravity fed or hand-held hoses. For the residential types of projects which do not incorporate below grade plumbing, pumps and large capacity tanks, please contact your local City Building & Safety Department. Treatment systems for rain, gray and urban run-off water for reuse in toilet flushing have been proposed but are not covered within these requirements. Please contact the Department at (626) for information regarding treatment strategies and reuse. These requirements apply to collection and reuse for on-site purposes only. Distribution of collected rainfall/non-potable cistern and urban run-off to off-site properties shall be evaluated by State Department of Public Health ( CADPH) in conjunction with State Regional Water Control Board (RWQCB).

163 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION FOR SAFE RAINFALL/RUN-OFF, NON-POTABLE CISTERN WATER AND URBAN RUN-OFF REUSE Page 2 DEFINITIONS: Alternate non-potable water supply is a non-potable source of water which includes gray water, rainfall/run-off non-potable cistern water, urban run-off, on site treated water and recycled/reclaimed water. Cistern (non-potable) refers to a receptacle or rainwater catchment system for storing water, usually underground, which captures non-potable water run-off for the purposes of reusing the water for irrigation purposes. Non-potable cisterns are distinct from potable cisterns that are installed and managed as potable water reservoirs/storage. Gray water refers to untreated waste water which has not come into contact with toilet waste. Gray water includes used water from bathtubs, showers, bathroom wash basins, clothes washing machines and laundry. It does not include waste water from kitchen sinks, photo lab sinks, dishwashers or laundry water from soiled diapers. Non-Potable Water refers to water which is not intended for human consumption. Two distinct variations are inclusive in this definition: Non-potable water from a potable source, via a dedicated backflow prevention device vs. untreated non-potable water from collection methods that never originated from a potable source. The term non-potable water is all-inclusive with respect to the various non-potable water supplies mentioned within these requirements. Onsite Water Supervisor refers to that person appointed, as provided for under Title 17, Section 7586, California Code of Regulations who is responsible for the protection of the potable water system from cross connections. This person is responsible for installation, operation, maintenance of the rain-fall / non-potable cistern water and potable water systems, prevention of potential hazards, implementation of these requirements, and coordination the Department. Potable Water refers to water which is fit for consumption by humans and other animals. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies contaminants that may adversely affect public health that occur in drinking water with a frequency and at levels that pose a threat to public health. The EPA establishes maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) (both biological and chemical) permissible in drinking water. These MCLs become enforceable standards. Rainfall/ Non-potable Cistern Water refers to the harvested rainwater/storm water collected within a cistern from a rain event and/or urban run-off. Cisterns in Los Angeles County may serve as a secondary source of water for applications that do not require potable water, such as landscape irrigation, which can dramatically lower the potable water demand and reducing off-site rainfall run-off. Recycled / Reclaimed Water refers to tertiary-treated water produced from the three-stage treatment of municipal wastewater. Recycled / reclaimed water is allowable for full-body human contact but not for direct human consumption. Purple pipe is the designated pipeline material specifically allowed to convey tertiary treated recycled / reclaimed water. Other non-potable water sources as mentioned in these requirements shall not use purple pipe. Untreated stored rainfall/run-off should not be confused with tertiary treated wastewater, defined in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. 2

164 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION FOR SAFE RAINFALL/RUN-OFF, NON-POTABLE CISTERN WATER AND URBAN RUN-OFF REUSE Page 3 Urban run-off refers to non-potable water from a dry weather run-off catchment system used for the collection of water run-off which does not necessarily come from a rain event. PROCEDURES: PLAN REVIEW AND SUBMISSION 1. Plans and specifications for the rainfall/non-potable cistern water capture, distribution, use and operational practices shall be submitted for review and approval to the Department prior to implementation. The applicable Building & Safety Departments having jurisdiction shall also be notified for approval. 2. County of Los Angeles will review and approve the plans to ensure safe re-use practices, correct labeling of pipelines and appropriate separation from potable water supplies and sanitary sewer lines. 3. Prior to commencing new or retrofit construction the contractor or installer shall contact the Department to arrange for inspection of all on-site rainfall/non-potable cistern water and potable water work. No excavation or open trench may be backfilled without first securing the Department approval. If any piping, rainfall/non-potable cistern water or potable water is installed prior to plan check approval and/or inspection, all or any portion of the system may be required to be exposed and corrected as necessary. 4. The rainfall/cistern water system shall be constructed in conformance with potable water system construction standards and in accordance with all other governing codes, rules and regulations. 5. Unused or abandoned potable water lines are to be severed as close to water mains as practical, capped and a four-foot section of abandoned line removed and the cap cemented under the Department s supervision. REQUIRED SEPARATION OF LINES In order to minimize construction accidents resulting in pipeline breaks, which may pollute the domestic water supply or accidental cross-connections between rainfall/non- potable cistern water and potable water systems, maximum attainable separation of non- potable cistern water lines and potable water lines is required. Parallel Construction: There shall be at least a four foot (4 ) separation for all pressure mains, all distances measured from pipeline outside diameter. In restricted areas where 4 foot separations cannot be met, the use of sleeved pipe is required. Cross-Over Construction: Perpendicular pipeline installation is set at a one foot (1 ) separation, with potable above rainfall/non-potable cistern water, and one full pipe length centered over crossing. Alternative Cross-Over construction (distance not maintained): Either the rainfall/non-potable cistern water may be sleeved with the same class piping (usually schedule 40 PVC) for one full pipe length (minimum four feet) centered over the cross-over. 3

Any pipeline other than potable water that is installed within a structure shall conform to all building code standards and shall be barber shop wrapped with the respective continuous identification tape and without any interconnections with the potable water system. 3. Gray water systems, rain-fall/runoff non-potable cistern systems and recycled water systems are not to be interconnected. Each shall be installed as stand alone systems completely separate from one another. Gray water systems are directly connected to the sewage system. Rain-fall/non-potable cisterns are not to be directly connected to a sewer system. For gray water installation requirements refer to California Plumbing Code 2007, Chapter 16/Appendix G (DWR). 4. Cisterns/storage vessels shall be adequately covered to prevent mosquito breeding. 5. Contact with untreated rainfall/non-potable cistern should be kept to a minimum. 6. Deteriorated or inadequately protected water well casings shall be protected against contamination by untreated rainfall/non-potable cistern water by correcting these physical deficiencies. Surface infiltration of untreated rainfall/run-off is allowed provided it occurs at least 10 feet from an unprotected foundation structure, there is a least 10 feet of clearance to the seasonal high ground water table, and it occurs at least 100 feet from a water supply well. 7. An On-Site Water Supervisor shall be appointed as provided for under Title 17, Section 7586, California Code of Regulations. Authorizations for any piping changes or additions to either the potable or recycled wastewater systems shall be subject to review and approval by the water supervisor. The name and position of this individual shall be reported to the water purveyor and to the Department. 8. As-built plans shall be prepared and updated as necessary by the user showing the location of rainfall /non-potable cistern water and potable water system piping. 9. To prevent secondary exposure to rainfall/non-potable cistern water, hose bibbs and quick couplers shall not be permitted in order to prevent both the unauthorized use of said water supply and secondary exposure of untreated non-potable water supply. Quick-couplers are presently not allowed on non-potable cistern systems. 10. A potable water source may be connected via an approved backflow prevention device to provide a back up water source to a non-potable water cistern. A non-potable water backup supply line from a potable source via an approved backflow prevention device can be directly connected to the rain-fall/non-potable cistern discharge line to the irrigation system. Gray water systems cannot be directly connected to a potable supply with or without a backflow prevention device, (air gaps are excluded) (2007 California Plumbing Code, Section ). Air gaps are the only method as a potable water make-up to a gray water system. 11. A pressure test/cross-connection test shall be performed to confirm the physical separation of the storm water/cistern water and potable water systems. Said testing shall be performed in conjunction with the Water Purveyor and this Department and conducted before the introduction of rainfall/non-potable cistern water. 5
