AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 19, 2002 400-45 ~
TO:
WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM:
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE CATCH BASIN INSERT PROJECT
(PROJECT NO. 402-6222)
SUMMARY
Under the provisions of the Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, the City is required to demonstrate
progress in the removal of debris and other pollutants prior to entering the storm drain system.
The Catch Basin Insert Project (402-6222) will help the City comply with this aspect of the NPDES
permit.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 02-23, approving the plans and
specifications for the Catch Basin Insert Project (402-6222), and authorizing and directing the City
Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2001-2002 Public Works Department/Engineering Division Operating Budget provides for
the funding of activities required to comply with the Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa
Ana Region NPDES permit. The engineer's estimate for the Catch Basin Insert Project (402-
6222) is $60,000. Grant funds from the County of Orange Urban Runoff Matching Grant Program
will reduce overall project costs by approximately $30,000. The City's Public Works
Department/Engineering Division Operating Budget includes sufficient funding to cover all costs
associated with the installation of the catch basin insert project (402-6222).
BACKGROUND
The City currently owns and maintains nearly 700 catch basins, which serve as inlets into the storm
drain system. The Regional Water Quality Control Board has mandated protection of the inlets
through implementation of structural and non-structural best management practices (BMPs). The
implementation of structural BMPs to mitigate urban water runoff pollution is a means to comply
with the new requirements of the Santa Ana Region NPDES permit. The City currently employs
non-structural BMPs including street sweeping and regular cleaning of the catch basins. In an
effort to begin implementation of structural BMPs at the inlets, the City evaluated its inventory of
catch basins and selected 103 locations that would provide water quality benefits through the
installation of catch basin inserts. The catch basin inserts are an economical and effective means
to remove trash, organic material, debris, and other pollutants prior to their entry into the storm
drain system. The inserts may be installed easily and quickly in standard catch basins without
requiring structural modifications.

The inserts will be cleaned regularly as a routine maintenance activity. The City's Field Services
Division staff will assist in monitoring their performance. A program will be developed and
implemented to categorize the trapped waste in order to determine the effectiveness of the filters.
The information obtained from these analyses will be a beneficial tool that can be used to identify
sources of pollutants.
The tentative schedule for the project is as follows:
