7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Order No. R8- 2002 -0014 adopted by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board on
April 26, 2002 required cities in Orange County that own their own sewer collection systems to
adopt a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) for the management of their sewer collection
systems. On October 11, 2005 the City Council adopted the required SSMP. On May 2, 2006
the State Water Resources Control Board adopted Order No. 2006 - 0003 -DWQ regulating
sanitary sewer collection systems statewide. This Order superseded waste discharge requirement
Order R8- 2002 -0014 from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and required a
new SSMP. On July 14, 2009 the City Council adopted an updated and revised SSMP consistent
with the new statewide Order.
Order 2006 - 0003 -DWQ contains a provision that requires permittees to update and recertify their
SSMP every five (5) years. Consistent with this requirement, the City's SSMP has been updated
to reflect changes incorporated into management of the sewer system. The updated SSMP
includes the latest sanitary sewer and storm drain maps, ordinances, new Sewer Master Plan and
revised organization charts. The SSMP also includes minor text changes in the body of the
SSMP and the Overflow Emergency Response Plan as well as a new Fats, Oils and Grease
(FOG) program referenced in the SSMP. A copy of the SSMP and Appendices is available for
review at the City Clerk's office.
