Natural Resources Elements Goal 2.0 Protect air, water, and energy resources from pollution
and overuse.
Policy 2.13: Control surface runoff water discharges into the storm water conveyance system to

Municipal Permit and other regional permits issued by the Santa Ana Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
Policy 2.16: Protect in- stream habitat and natural stream and channel features.
7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Renewed Measure M (M2) approved by the voters in 2006 is a 30 -year, multi - billion dollar
program extension of the original Measure M (approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned
projects and programs. These include improvements to the county freeway system, streets and
roads networks, expansion of the Metrolink system, more transit services for seniors and the
disabled, as well as funding for the cleanup of roadway storm water runoff.
Orange County Local Transportation Ordinance No.3, dated July 24, 2006, known and cited as
the Renewed Measure M Transportation Ordinance and Investment Plan, makes funds available
through the Environmental Cleanup Program to help protect Orange County beaches and
waterways from transportation generated pollution, urban runoff, and improve overall water
quality.
The Public Works Department has identified one location on west Orangewood Avenue, a 78
inch storm drain line just west of the outlet to the Bitterbush Channel, as a good location for the
installation of the BioClean Hydrodynamic Separator. This storm drain line collects runoff from
commercial shops, restaurants, and industrial areas and is experiencing a heavy volume of trash
and debris. Installing a BioClean Unit will effectively capture trash and debris that may adversely
impact receiving waters and impair beneficial uses such as recreation, swimming, and fishing. In
addition, ten connector pipe screens will be installed inside catch basins on Katella Avenue to
capture trash and debris. The Tier 1 Grant we are seeking is $300,000 with a 20% match required
from the City. The cost of the project is approximately $375,000.
Because the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program is structured to be competitive
with all of the agencies in the County of Orange, it is not known at this time, if our project will
be approved.
