This perspective will ensure that program deficiencies are identified from a regulator's point of view, while providing sensible recommendations that don't unnecessarily burden the technological and human resources of the District. History with_theCosta Mesa Sanitary District and the Orange County Region EEC is a local firm with a demonstrated understanding of the SSO WDR,from its inception in 2002 to its current form in 2017. EEC has worked with the District since 2003 and conducted the agency's internal SSMP audit in 2011 and in 2013; as a result, EEC has in-depth knowledge of the District's SSMP and associated programs and development history. This unique combination of experience and knowledge will ensure the most efficient utilization of District technological and human resources in the audit process. EEC's existing relationships with key District staff will also contribute to efficient exchange of information and result in more candid program discussions and comments. National Perspective The District will benefit from EEC's national experience with development and implementation of critical SSO reduction programs drawing upon the best practices and concepts employed by programs outside of Orange County. Data Management and GIS EEC recognizes the critical role that data management and GIS play in efficient management and monitoring of the District's SSMP program.This knowledge and experience will continue to be leveraged by the District to ensure effective and efficient tools are in place for ongoing performance monitoring and measurement tasks.
