Wastewater Master Plan Update
1
Purpose
The primary goal of a Wastewater Master Plan is to determine whether the system has the
capacity to handle flows from ultimate build-out of the service area. The plan compares the
capacity of the sewer mains to the ultimate flow generated from complete build-out of the land
uses inside the jurisdictional boundaries of the agency. In the case of the Costa Mesa Sanitary
District, this means providing sewer capacity for the land uses adopted by the City of Costa
Mesa, the City of Newport Beach, and the County of Orange. When the wastewater system was
originally designed in the early 1950s, the development densities and anticipated ultimate flows
were very low when compared to today’s calculated maximums. Additionally, stormwater
runoff is making its way into the system through infiltration and inflow. These additional flows
require wastewater lines to be larger to accommodate the added flows during periods of heavy
rain.
Background
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (“CMSD” or “DISTRICT”) was formed in 1944 under the
State of California Health and Safety code. The District is an independent special district,
meaning the District is funded through user fees and charges. A dependent special district, such
as a cemetery district, depends on funding from the County.
The boundaries of the District include all of the City of Costa Mesa, and portions of the City of
Newport Beach and the unincorporated Territory of the County of Orange. CMSD serves a
residential population of approximately 116,700 plus various public, commercial, industrial and
retail land uses. CMSD’s facilities include 219.4 miles of gravity mainline, 4.8 miles of
pressurize mainline, 24,955 service lateral connections, 4,707 manholes and 20 pumping
stations. The 109.3 miles of private property sewer lateral pipelines within the district are
privately maintained. Because the Board of Directors is focused solely on sewer service and
trash collection, the sewer system is in excellent condition and has been kept in top shape
through regular monitoring, maintenance, cleaning, and repairs.
Total Flow From the District
As owner of the treatment plants and disposal facilities, the Orange County Sanitation District
(OCSD) has developed flow coefficients for forecasting total daily dry weather (without storm
water inflow or infiltration) flow from a tributary area.
OCSD has converted total flows from residential and other land uses into a flow coefficient
related directly to population. The flow rate per capita has been dropping steadily over the years.
OCSD estimated a measured flow rate of 100 gallons per capita per day in 2005 dropping to 75
gallons per capita per day in 2015, with projected flows to be 70 gallons per capita per day by
2022. A flow coefficient of 71.5 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) will be used for the purposes
of this report. Using a District population of approximately 117,000, the estimated daily flow
from the District is:
CMSD total daily dry weather flow = 71.5 gpcd x 117,000 population

= 8.4 mgd (million gallons per day)
Overview of Sewer System and Maintenance Program
CMSD’s facilities include 219.4 miles of gravity mainline, 4.8 miles of pressurize mainline,
24,955 service lateral connections, 4,707 manholes and 20 pumping stations. A detailed list of
the sizes and lengths of pipes are shown on the Fixed Asset Schedule in Appendix A.
The gravity portion of the sewer system is in excellent condition and the District has adopted the
industry standard of cleaning the system. Trouble spots identified within the district system are
cleaned more frequently. Maintenance is performed in one specific area of the District at a time.
Each public sewer line in this area is first cleaned and then televised to see the structural
condition of the sewer main. This maintenance is performed in compliance with the Costa Mesa
Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). This routine maintenance allows the
District staff to identify potential defects in the sewer system that have the potential to cause a
stoppage or failure. Once identified, corrective repairs are performed. The District hires
contractors to repair or rehabilitate these sewer lines or facilities. The Costa Mesa Sanitary
District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) is included in Appendix B.
Pump Stations & Force Mains
Because of high flows in the pump stations and force mains that could result in large sewer
spills, pumping stations and force mains are a high priority and regularly discussed during
District’s quarterly pump station meetings attended by the General Manager, District Engineer,
Sewer Maintenance Superintendent, and Pump Station Crew. When the pump station
maintenance crew finds deficiencies, the repair is completed as soon as possible.
A map of the service areas for each of the pump stations is included in Appendix C.
Rehabilitation and reconstruction of force mains has been the top priority with the District since
2009. More recently, the installation of redundant force mains has been incorporated into force
main upgrade projects to allow the pump stations to remain in use in the event of a force main
break, without the delays caused by implementing by-pass operations.
Tables 1A below lists the most recent status of work on the force main projects.

Prior Master Plan Update
The District’s prior master plan was prepared in 2005 and identified 7 gravity sewer segments
that would eventually need additional capacity. These segments are listed in Table 3 below.
Table 3: 2005 Master Plan Update Identified Potential Under Capacity Segments
No. Description
1 8” Sewer on Bristol Street West of Irvine Avenue/Campus Drive.
15” Replacement pipe constructed in 2012 as Project #129.
7 8” & 12” Sewer on Hamilton West of Harbor. Although calculations showed a parallel sewer was required, the existing
flows have not reached a point where additional capacity is required.
9 8” & 10” Sewer on Wilson West of Placentia. Although calculations showed a parallel sewer was required, the existing
flows have not reached a point where additional capacity is required.
9 10” & 12” Sewer on Wilson East of Canyon Pump Station.
Although calculations showed a parallel sewer was required, the existing
flows have not reached a point where additional capacity is required.
10 8” Sewer on Country Club South of Gisler.
Although calculations showed a parallel sewer was required, the existing flows have not reached a point where additional capacity is required.
11 18” Sewer on Harbor South of Baker.
Although calculations showed a parallel sewer was required, the existing flows have not reached a point where additional capacity is required.
With the exception of the sewer on Bristol Street, which was replaced in 2012, flow monitoring
done as part of this Master Plan Update indicates that current flows in the sewer segments listed
above are still below the pipe capacity.
Currently Budgeted Wastewater Capital Improvement Projects
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District Adopted Budget FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 include the
following Capital Improvement Projects.
Project #309 City Project Manhole Program
This is an annual project that adjusts existing manholes to grade as part of City Street
Improvement projects. CMSD reimburses the City for the work involved in adjusting the
manholes to grade after resurfacing of the streets. The budgeted amount is $70,000 for both FY
2021-22 and FY 2022-23.
Project #311 CMSD Manhole Surface Repairs
This is an annual project that identifies surface defects in the existing sewer manholes. Once
identified, the District hires a contractor to remove the existing frames and covers and replace
Costa Mesa Sanitary District

them with composite frames and covers. The budgeted amount is $72,000 for both FY 2021-22
and FY 2022-23.
Project #324 Brick Manhole Rehabilitation Phase 2
In 1953 when the first District manholes were installed, contractors had an option to construct
brick manholes or pre-cast manholes similar to today’s pre-cast manholes. Because no steel mesh
or rebar was installed in the brick manholes they are very susceptible to damage during seismic
events. The District will structurally reinforce brick manholes by using a one piece structural
cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) liner. The budgeted amount is $130,000 for both FY 2020-21 and FY
2022-23.
Project #327 Calcium Removal
The District is fortunate not to have sustained any calcium-caused sanitary sewer overflows
(SSOs) from calcium build-up in the sewer mains. Calcium buildup is an emerging concern
across the United States and there are limited tools available for calcium removal and the tools
and removal techniques are expensive. Most of the District’s calcium buildup occurs in the Santa
Rosa Avenue – San Marino Circle area in north Costa Mesa where it is suspected that high
groundwater laden with minerals causes calcium deposits in the mains. As part of the Sewer
Master Plan Update, a complete analysis and mitigation program for sewer mains with calcium is
being established. The budgeted amount is $75,000 for FY 2021-22 to test the effectiveness and
cost of various calcium removal techniques. The budgeted amount is $400,000 for FY 2022-23.
Project #328 Ductile Iron Pipe Rehabilitation
Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) is stronger and more flexible than Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) and was
used in many locations throughout the District. However, it is subject to corrosion both on the
inside and outside of the pipe that can degrade the walls of ductile iron pipe. The rehabilitation
method consists of chain flailing the interior then installing a liner. The first phases of the project
were previously budgeted. The budget for fiscal years 2021-22 is $400,000.
Project #329 Aviemore Force Main Replacement
Aviemore Pump Station and Force Main serve the smallest tributary area of a CMSD pump
station, only 26 residences. Nevertheless, the force main is 130 linear feet of 4-inch cast iron
pipe built in 1959 and has reached its life expectancy. The project will include construction of a
dual PVC force main to replace the existing one. The budgeted amount is $230,000 for FY 2021-
22.
Project #330 Westbluff Pump Station Rehabilitation
The Westbluff force main was replaced and realigned in 2006 by a private residential land
developer so the force main is relatively young. The proposed work is normal replacement of
pumps, valves, and piping that have reached their life expectancy. The budgeted amount is
$175,000 for FY 2021-22.

Project #334 Gisler Pump Station Force Main Replacement
The Gilser Pump Station and force main were constructed in 1960. The station was remodeled in
1985 and 2007, however the force main has not been replaced. The force main is a 1,160 foot
long 6” C.I.P. The project will include construction of a dual 6” PVC force main to replace the
existing force main. The budgeted amount is $520,000 for FY 2021-22.
Project #335 Sewer Siphon Rehabilitation
Project #331 completed in 2021, evaluated the condition of the 8 sewer siphons located in the
District. The current project will install C.I.P.P. liners in the siphons, extending their life
expectancy of the siphons. The budgeted amount is $250,000 for FY 2021-22 and $300,000 in
FY 2022-23.
Project #336 Grade 4 Sewer Repairs
The project will install C.I.P.P. liners or construct spot repairs of the Grade 4 sewer main defects
identified during routine maintenance. The budgeted amount is $120,000 for FY 2021-22 and
$170,000 in FY 2022-23.
Project #337 Sewer Force Main Air Release Valve Removals/Improvements.
There are 8 air release valves on force mains in the District. Malfunctioning air release valves
have been responsible for a number of sewer spills over the years. The project will remove air
release valves that are not necessary on the force mains and construct drain line improvements
on the valves that cannot be removed. The budgeted amount is $165.000 in FY 2021-22 and
$260,000 in FY 2022-23.
Project #338 Elden Pump Station Force Main Valve Replacement
Elden Pump Station is the largest in the District. The 18” D.I.P. force main was installed in 1990,
1994 and 1995. This project is the first stage in constructing a secondary force main to serve the
pump station. There are three valves on Newport Boulevard near Mesa Drive that connect the
newer force amin to the old force main. This project will replace those 30 years old valves. The
budgeted amount is $260,000 in FY 2022-23.
Project #339 21st Street Pump Station Force Main Rehabilitation
The 21st Street Pump Station Force Main is a 10” D.I.P. installed in 1991. The force main spans
the 55 Freeway in a utility overpass. This project will install a C.I.P.P. liner in the existing pipe.
The budgeted amount is $200,000 in FY 2022-23.
Sewer Flow Coefficients
In prior Master Plan Updates, Flow Coefficients were developed for Commercial, Industrial, Public/Institutional/School, Parks/Golf Courses, High Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Low Density Residential Uses. In those earlier Master Plan Updates, the flow coefficients were applied to the gross areas of the land uses, including streets and drainage channel

easements. After reviewing flow coefficients from other districts, Land Use Population statistics for the City of Costa Mesa, Zoning and Development Codes for the Cities of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, and the County of Orange, it was decided to use the flow coefficients from the
prior Master Plan but apply them to the net areas of the parcels. This change reduces the total
expected flow from the land uses by between 20 and 25 percent, which is in general agreement with the reduced flows per capita measured by OCSD over the last few decades. The flow coefficients are shown below in Table 4.

Maps of the Pump Station Service Areas are included in Appendix C. Maps of the Gravity Sewer
Service Areas are included in Appendix E. Flow coefficients for the various land uses were assigned to each of the expected land uses and the area of each type of land use within each of the service area boundaries was determined. The
resulting sums were the anticipated average daily flows for the sewer mains. The district’s peaking
factor was applied to the average flow to determine the expected ultimate peak flow. The ultimate peak flow also includes an expected 800 gallons per day per acre inflow from storm runoff. The storm inflow rate is applied to all land uses within the District boundaries except parks,
golf courses and open space as these areas do not normally have sewer mains in them, eliminating
the chance of inflow or infiltration.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Density Increase
The City of Costa Mesa’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance took effect on January 1, 2020. The City of Newport Beach’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance took effect April 20, 2020. Both are based on the requirements of SB 1069. Of note in the ordinance is:
• Both ordinances allow for the construction of an accessory dwelling unit of up to 1200
square feet on existing single-family residential lots, even if the additional unit exceeded the zoning density for the lot.
• Both ordinances allow for the construction of a junior accessory dwelling unit within the existing dwelling on single family lots. There are several restrictions on these types of units
that will probably limit their construction.
• Both ordinances allow for A.D.U. construction of at least one and up to 25% of the existing dwelling units on multi-family residential lots within the existing non-habitable building spaces.
This increase in density could account for a significant increase in dwelling units served by the
District’s sewers if every property owner availed themselves of the chance to build A.D.U.’s. The pace of construction of ADU’s within the District for the last year has not indicated a significant increase in density. The district is going to monitor the pace of construction of the ADU’s over the next few years to determine if there is going to be a significant impact.

Inflow & Infiltration (I/I)
The District's sewer system, just as virtually every agency's sewer system, experiences greater
flows during the winter months. During the rainy season, intersections become flooded and water
enters the sewer system through the pick holes in the manhole covers. In addition, illegal storm
drain connections contribute water to the system. Property owners who experience surface
drainage problems sometimes relieve the ponding by illegally connecting a drainage system to
the sewer system. These two sources of Inflow to the system have been measured and are
sufficient enough to be incorporated into the design and analysis of the sewer system. In this
sewer Master Plan Update, the District's historical coefficient for Inflow of 800 gpd/acre is used.
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) has found their daily flow to the treatment plants
nearly doubles during large storms. With respect to Inflow, the Sanitary District has used two
options to reduce Inflow through manhole covers. Either the manhole covers are replaced with
watertight covers or the holes in the covers are plugged. The District has taken measures such as
smoke testing and dye tests to identify and eliminate illicit connections that allow stormwater
runoff to be drained into the sewer system. Common sources of these illicit connections can be
sewer cleanouts in yards that are missing covers or drain grates that are illegally connected to the
sewer pipes.
Infiltration as a source of water in the system is caused by underground water entering the sewer
system through pipe joints, manholes, and cracked or broken pipe sections. The District's
comprehensive sewer line video program beginning in 1989 has allowed the District to identify
significant sources of Infiltration and apply corrective measures. The pipe system is sound, and
for the most part located above the water table, and there are very few known instances of
saturated soil near the system.
Master Plan Flow Calculations
The following steps were required to evaluate the sewer system’s ability to handle the expected
ultimate flows: 1. Compiling a GIS database of the District's facilities and projected land use. The sewer main and structure information, sizes, slopes, and materials were obtained from the CMSD Atlas and as-built plans and added to the database.
2. Parcel lines and areas for the land served by the district were obtained from the County of
Orange and added to the digital database to ensure accuracy. Flow area boundaries were then developed for the different segments of pipe and pump stations to be evaluated in the district. 3. The latest General Plan Land Uses were obtained from the City of Costa Mesa, City of Newport Beach and the County of Orange and assigned to the parcels in the digital
database. 4. Flow coefficients for the various land uses were assigned to each of the expected land uses and the area of each type of land use within the flow area boundaries was determined. In prior Master Plans, the flow coefficients were applied to the gross areas of the land uses, including streets and drainage channel easements. The ultimate peak flow also includes an
expected 800 gallons per day per acre inflow from storm runoff.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District
Wastewater Master Plan Update

5. The expected ultimate flows for the sewer system were calculated for the different segments of the sewer system and compared to the design capacity of the sewer mains and pump stations. The segments of sewer pipe that are expected to be surcharged in the
ultimate build-out were identified and the severity of the expected capacity deficiency
classified as flowing more than half full, more than ¾ full or more than completely full. 6. The sewer mains that were identified as being under sized based on the expected future flows were then visually inspected at peak flow times to determine if they were flowing at or near half full now. The mains that appeared to be flowing nearly half full had flow meters
installed and the flows monitored for two weeks.
The results of the flow calculations for the pump stations are included in Appendix D. The results of the flow calculations for the gravity sewers are included in Appendix F.
Future Sewer Main Improvements Required to Meet Ultimate Demand
The District has adopted the industry standard of designing new sewer lines up to 18 inches in diameter to be flowing no more than half full at peak wet weather flow and 21 inch or larger sewers to be flowing no more than three quarters full at wet weather peak flow. However, when analyses of existing conditions are completed for the purposes of determining when additional capacity is
required, flows above these limits are acceptable. However, at no time are sewers allowed to flow in a surcharged or pressure conditions because gravity sewers are not designed to flow under pressure. For the purposes of this study, pipes that will be flowing above three quarters full at ultimate build-out will be considered over capacity.
The following sewer mains and pump stations listed in Table 6 below, will be flowing above
three quarters depth at ultimate build-out, and should be considered for replacement. The mains should be flow monitored every two to five years and when the measured peak flow depths approach or exceed 75 percent of the pipe diameter, the construction projects should be implemented.

Developer's Responsibility to Provide Additional Sewer Capacity
In the interest of fairness, the District is committed to providing sewer capacity to the level
identified in the Cities’ and County’s General Plan but any additional capacity needed as a result
of a developer proposing an even more intense land use would be the responsibility of the
developer. This policy relieves the District and the rate payers of the burden of funding sewer
improvements made necessary by the scenario of increasing project densities.
The District's policy is to require the developer to make a cash deposit to the District to fund a
sewer analysis of the system where the new development is proposed. The analysis checks the
capacity of the system assuming the proposed development is the only project that exceeds the
General Plan density, but also checks line capacities assuming redevelopment of neighboring
parcels also occurs to levels beyond the General Plan. An appropriate participation level is then
determined for the developers.
Calcium Build-up on Sewer Pipe Walls
The District completed its first District-wide CCTV program over a four-year period from 1989-
1992. Little did the District know, the small white colored and black colored circles on the pipe
wall were the beginning stages of calcium build-up.
When the District embarked on its second District-wide CCTV program in a three-year period
from 2006-2009, the District found the small circles and chalky film had grown into a full-
diameter layer of extremely hard calcium. Carbide cutting tools and chain flail heads were
unsuccessful in removing the deposits.
After working with other local agencies and the National Clay Pipe Institute (NCPI), the
emerging calcium problem was found to be nation-wide and was affecting other pipe materials
besides vitrified clay pipe (VCP), NCPI took the lead and found the calcium (also referred to as
“mineral deposits”) could be dissolved using a high concentration mixture of hydrochloric acid

and citric acid. However, due to extensive federal and state regulations, chemical removal
cannot be accomplished, and the removal of the calcium build-up must be completed through
mechanical means. In 2017, technology advanced to the point where a cleaning hose nozzle
could deliver water at over 29,000 pounds per square inch (psi), well above the threshold to
break calcium and even concrete. A few municipalities have rented the service and found the
removal of calcium to be successful, but slow.
One definite cause of calcium build-up is calcium laden ground water that infiltrates into
openings in pipe joints or manholes. The areas of the District located north of the 405 Freeway
has been identified as having potentially high ground water levels. Most of the sewer segments
experiencing calcium buildup are in this region. However, sewer laterals and mains inside the
Costa Mesa Sanitary District where there is no near surface groundwater have also been subject
to calcium build-up, possibly indicating the build-up can be due to other causes. Some possible
causes are household products such as detergents, water softener regeneration or backflushing of
pool filters.
As part of this wastewater master plan update, the number of sewer segments and lengths of
main with calcium have been categorized and are shown in below in Table 7. The program
would include video inspections after the major cleaning effort to ascertain any damage to the
pipes. A CIPP Liner will be installed in each segment after cleaning to eliminate ground water
intrusion through the pipe joints. The initial phase of the project would be to conduct several
small scale projects to ascertain the best and most cost effective method to do the removal.

Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP)
The District’s regulations require that gravity sewer pipes are constructed of vitrified clay pipe.
Because VCP is a rigid pipe, it will crack rather than deflect when subjected to excessive
loading. To prevent cracking, sewer system designers substituted ductile iron pipe (DIP) for
shallow sewers or where excessive loading might occur due to situations where large utility
conduits crossed in close vertical proximity to the sewer main. DIP was also extensively used to
satisfy health code requirements for vertical and horizontal separation of sewer and water mains.
Unfortunately, DIP corrodes both from the inside due to the wastewater environment and from
the outside due to acidic soils. Ductile Iron Pipes typically have interior and exterior coatings
applied to inhibit corrosion. Over time, these coatings become compromised, and corrosion
occurs. If allowed, corrosion will continue to weaken the pipe until it fails. Today’s sewer
system operators try and avoid using ductile iron pipe due to its susceptibility to corrosion.
The District has identified eighteen full length (manhole to manhole) sewer segments of DIP and
eighty-six other sewer segments with shorter sections of DIP in its sewer system. One of the
recommendations of this wastewater master plan is to remove the corrosion from ductile iron
pipe segments and then install cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) liners to extend the life expectancy. A
listing of the pipe segments and approximate cost for corrosion removal and lining is in
Appendix G.
The current District budget for Wastewater Capital Improvements includes Project #328 Ductile
Iron Pipe Rehabilitation.
Developer's Responsibility to Provide Additional Sewer Capacity
In the interest of fairness, the District committed to providing sewer capacity to the level
identified in the Master Plan but any additional capacity needed as a result of a developer
proposing an even more intense land use would be the responsibility of the developer. This
policy relieves the District and the rate payers of the burden of funding sewer improvements
made necessary by the scenario of increasing project densities.
The District's policy is to require the developer to make a cash deposit to the District to fund a
sewer analysis of the system where the new development is proposed. The analysis checks the
capacity of the system assuming the proposed development is the only project that exceeds the
General Plan density, but also checks line capacities assuming redevelopment of neighboring
parcels also occurs to levels beyond the General Plan. An appropriate participation level is then
determined for the developers.
This method can be applied to property owners who desire to construct accessory dwelling units
that would increase the density of development, dwelling units per acre, above the General Plan
density for their lot. The property owners could be assessed a fair share portion of the total cost
of sewer system improvements necessary to provide the additional capacity for the A.D.U.’s.

High Volume Water Users
The District experienced a major change in sewer discharge when various properties in the
Airway Ave./Red Hill Avenue area were inhabited by high volume water users. Manufacturers
of computer components and food processors have discharge volumes significantly above the
values used in planning the sewer lines in the area. For instance, historical industrial uses within
the Sanitary District discharge no more than 3,500 gallons per day per acre of development. One
user was discharging 55,000 gallons per day per acre and was single-handedly responsible for
overloading the sewer line. Just prior to planning for a new sewer, this particular user vacated the
location. However, other high-volume water users are located in the area and a continuous
monitoring program has been implemented.
Users who generate flows that exceed the Master Plan flow coefficients should provide for
additional sewer capacity in the same manner as developers proposing increased density
developments. The District should continue to monitor existing potential high-volume water
users. The industrial users are identified during the Development Review process at the City. As
part of the process the District will require them to provide estimated flows and, if necessary,
sewer capacity studies. If they discharge more than the master planned flows for their parcels,
they would be required to contribute to the construction of the necessary improvements to carry
the excess capacity.
Long Term Sewer Replacement Fund
The District’s gravity sewer system is predominantly constructed using vitrified clay pipe (VCP)
which is a combination of clay and shale subjected to high temperatures to produce vitrification.
The resultant pipe is inert, meaning it will not chemically decompose when subjected to acids or
other chemicals. A 50-year old pipe will have the virtually same strength characteristics as a new
pipe. This property coupled with being naturally abrasion resistant gives VCP a life expectancy
that makes it the material of choice for use in sewer systems. The major causes of failure in VCP
sewers are from outside forces. Earthquake damage, construction over the top or near the sewer
main, and root intrusion are the main factors that compromise VCP sewers. Absent damage
caused by these outside forces; a vitrified clay pipe can last well over 100 years. The District has
been proactive in regularly cleaning and videoing the sewer system on a regular basis. Corrective
maintenance is performed to repair defects found throughout the sewer system that have the
potential to cause a stoppage or failure.
A survey of sewer agencies throughout the United States disclosed two distinct philosophies of
long-term sewer replacement. Some agency boards and managers believe it is their duty to
establish a reserve that provides readily available substantial funds when the sewer system
reaches its life expectancy. Other agencies choose to wait until the substantial repair time has
arrived, then incur debt in the form of bonds or COPs to fund the improvements. Their
philosophy is driven by the lack of a dedicated sewer fee plus the idea that current residents have
already paid for their sewer system and that future owners should pay for a new one by paying
off the debt.

The Board of Directors and Staff of the District believe it is prudent to fund a replacement
program rather than pass on an unfunded liability to the property owners. Consequently, the
District completed a study in December 1998 and established a sinking fund. The study is
included herein for reference as Appendix H.
As described in the project report, Staff continues to monitor the advances in pipeline
rehabilitation without excavation. Because repair and reconstruction of sewer lines in busy
intersections and other hard to access areas is expensive, various no-dig methods were developed
to provide repair or replacement of sewer lines without excavation. Methods include pipe
bursting, directional drilling, and installing C.I.P.P. liners. The technology of no-dig is constantly
improving, and it is anticipated that in the future, no-dig methods will be able to handle all pipe
rehabilitation needs. The District has used all of these methods on various repair and
improvement projects.
When the District initiated its Long-Term Sewer Replacement Fund, costs for traditional sewer
construction were easy to calculate but it is uncertain what methods and costs will be associated
with no-dig methods 30 years from now when a large portion of the system will approach the
100 year mark.
Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR)
The Santa Ana Region of the State Water Quality Control Board oversees the water quality in the
local waters of the State, particularly the Pacific Ocean and the Newport Beach Upper and Lower
Bay. The beaches along the coast have been closed numerous times due to contaminated surface
water runoff and sewer spills and the closures have impacted the economy associated with
summer beach activity.
In response to the beach closures, the Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted new storm
drain and sewer regulations. The sewer regulations, termed the Waste Discharge Requirements
(WDR), were adopted on April 26, 2002, and applied to all the sewer system owners in Orange
County whose lines are tributary to the Orange County Sanitation District treatment plants.
Therefore, these regulations applied directly to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District. Subsequent to
the regional order, on May 2, 2006 a statewide WDR was adopted and the local order was
rescinded.
One of the requirements of the WDR is the preparation and implementation of a comprehensive
Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). By preparing and practicing the procedures in the
plan, the occurrence of sewer spills should decrease. The SSMP is continually updated and every
two years it is audited by an outside consulting firm to evaluate the effectiveness of the
document and determine the District’s compliance with the WDR. The SSMP is recertified by
the Board of Directors every five years. The last recertification was approved on January 25,
2021.
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District recognizes the importance of protecting ocean water quality by
preventing sewer spills and has historically taken a proactive approach to comprehensive sewer

system management. The Costa Mesa Sanitary District's Sewer System Management Plan
(SSMP) is included herein as Appendix B.
Low Flow Diversion of Storm Water into Sewer System
In an effort to assist the coastal cities in decreasing ocean pollution from contaminated surface
water runoff, OCFCD has expressed interest in Low Flow Diversion Programs where low
volume runoff flows are diverted from natural drainage channels to a nearby sewer system. The
water is then treated with regular sewer flows. The Costa Mesa Sanitary District has been
generally supportive of the idea as long as it doesn’t adversely impact peak flows in the sewer
system. To date, there are no active Low Flow Diversion Projects in the District.

I. GOAL
A. INTRODUCTION
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (CMSD) is an independent special district governed
by an independent five-member Board of Directors elected at large by the residents.
CMSD was formed in 1944, nine years before the City of Costa Mesa was
incorporated and provides wastewater service and solid waste collection. The
boundaries of CMSD include the entire City of Costa Mesa and portions of the City of
Newport Beach and the unincorporated territory of the County of Orange.
CMSD serves a residential population of approximately 116,700 plus various public,
commercial, industrial and retail land uses. CMSD’s facilities include 219.4 miles of
gravity mainline, 4.8 miles of pressurize mainline, 109.3 miles of private property
sewer lateral pipelines, 24,955 service lateral connections, 4,707 manholes and 20
pumping stations. A detailed list of the sizes and lengths of CMSD owned sewer lines
can be found in the Costa Mesa Sanitary District’s Sewer Master Plan.
CMSD’s headquarters is located at 290 Paularino Avenue, Costa Mesa and CMSD’s
Yard is located at 174 W. Wilson Street, Costa Mesa. CMSD moved into the new
headquarter building on November 11, 2016. The yard facility became operational
in October 2010 and in February 2011, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)
certified the Yard as Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) for demonstrating the building uses of sustainability practices and
environmental protection. Platinum LEED is the highest certification awarded by
USGBC.
In 2012 and 2015, the Costa Mesa Sanitary District was named Collection System of
the Year by the Santa Ana River Basin Section (SARBS) of the California Water
Environment Association (CWEA). SARBS, which boundaries include Orange,
Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, is one of 17 geographical local sections of
CWEA that trains and certifies wastewater professionals and promotes sound
policies to benefit society through protection and enhancement of statewide water
environment. In 2012, CMSD won the award again from CWEA. The designation of
‘Collection System of the Year’ is one of the most prestigious SARBS/CWEA awards
which recognizes an agency’s significant accomplishments, safety record, training
program, regulatory compliance, maintenance program along with documented
administrative and emergency procedures. In 2019, CMSD won SARBS Community
Engagement & Outreach award for educating the public about wastewater
collections and preventing sanitary sewer overflows.
The Santa Ana Region of the State Water Quality Control Board oversees the water
quality in the local waters of the State, particularly the Pacific Ocean and the
Newport Beach Upper and Lower Bay. The beaches along the coast have been closed
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
4
numerous times due to contaminated surface water runoff and sewer spills and the closures have impacted the economy associated with summer beach activity.
In response to the beach closures, the Regional Water Quality Control Board
adopted new storm drain and sewer regulations. The sewer regulations, termed the
Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR), were adopted on April 26, 2002, and applied
to all the sewer system owners in Orange County whose lines are tributary to the
Orange County Sanitation District treatment plants. Therefore, these regulations
applied directly to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District. Subsequent to the regional
order, on May 2, 2006 a statewide WDR was adopted and the local order was
rescinded.
One of the requirements of the WDR is the preparation and implementation of a
comprehensive Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). By preparing and
practicing the procedures in the plan, the occurrence of sewer spills should
decrease. The SSMP is continually updated and every two years it is audited by an
outside consulting firm to evaluate the effectiveness of the document and determine
the District’s compliance with the WDR. The SSMP is recertified by the Board of
Directors every five years. The last recertification was approved on December 17,
2015 with the next recertification adopted on January 25, 2021.
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District recognizes the importance of protecting ocean
water quality by preventing sewer spills and has historically taken a proactive
approach to comprehensive sewer system management.
B. REGULATORY BACKGROUND
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District lies in Region 8 of the State Water Resources
Control Board. The Region 8 WDR adopted in 2002 was partially in response to the
Orange County Grand Jury report that analyzed ocean water pollution and identified
grease in sewer lines as a substantial cause of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).
Along with the WDR, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) also
adopted Monitoring and Reporting Requirements in order to insure consistent and
accurate sewer spill reporting.
After the State Water Resources Control Board viewed the success of the regional
WDR, a statewide order was adopted and the local order rescinded. The statewide
order is nearly identical to the regional order and covers all sewer system owners in
the State of California who own one mile or more of sewer lines. The statewide
order is Order No. R3-2006-0003-DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge
Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Overflows, (SSOs) and was adopted on May 2,
2006. The Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) is
tailored to meet this order.
The SWRCB developed the WDR to promote uniformity in the management of
California’s wastewater collection systems and reduce SSOs. The SWRCB found that
cities and districts that have implemented SSMPs similar to this have been effective
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
5
not only in improving spill reporting, but also in mitigating SSO impacts. Data also
supported the conclusion that better collection system management will benefit
water quality and prolong the life of sanitary sewer systems.
The SWRCB may regulate sanitary sewer overflows based on authority in the
Federal Clean Water Act (EPA 2002) and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control
Act, Section 13263 (California Water Code of Regulation 2006).
C. PURPOSE AND GOALS OF THE SSMP
This document has been developed to comply with WDR R3-2006-003-DWQ and
sets specific wastewater collection system requirements and upholds State water
quality standards. The WDR requires permittees to prepare and implement a SSMP
in order to:
• Protect public health and the environment,
• Provide a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and
maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system in order to provide
reliable service in the future,
• Prevent or minimize the frequency of SSOs,
• Ensure corrective action is taken in a timely manner, and.
• Maintain and improve the condition and performance of the District’s
wastewater collection system.
Sanitary sewer overflows are overflows from sanitary sewer systems of domestic,
industrial, and/or commercial wastewater. SSOs may cause a public nuisance,
particularly when untreated wastewater is discharged to waters designated for
contact recreation. CMSD will proactively manage the operations of its sewage
system in a way that prevents SSOs.

C. CHAIN OF COMMUNICATION FOR REPORTING SSOS
The SSO reporting chain of communication is illustrated in Figure 6-1, Chapter VI,
Overflow Emergency Response Plan, which details the procedures and
responsibilities during an SSO event. The process is briefly described below.
After receiving a complaint or report of a potential SSO, the Wastewater
Maintenance Superintendent and the District Engineer are notified. In the case of a
power failure or other emergency within a pumping station, an alarm auto-dialer
system will call to inform all wastewater maintenance employees, District Engineer
and the General Manager. The first responder will report an overflow or hazard
immediately to the Wastewater Maintenance Superintendent and/or the District
Engineer and then to the General Manager. The General Manager is responsible for
reporting the overflow, via telephone, to the appropriate regulatory agencies. The
response process for SSOs is described in Chapter VI in more detail.
The District’s Engineer is the Legally Responsible Official (LRO) and is responsible
for overseeing the reporting process. The District Engineer receives the spill report
from the Wastewater Maintenance Superintendent and drafts up the required
report with consideration given to volume calculations, vacuum and wash down
operations, cause of spill, timeliness of response, etc. After discussions are
complete, the report is finalized, reviewed by the Wastewater Maintenance
Superintendent and then transmitted to the appropriate authorities by the District
Engineer. CMSD reports all spills except private property spills where the spill is
contained on-site.
As a first priority during a sewer spill, CMSD staff and field crews notify the
appropriate personnel by phone that a spill has occurred instead of depending on
the report as a means of notification.
If the spill is significant or the result of a major emergency involving CMSD sewer
lines or pumping stations, CMSD follows a pre-described procedure. In order to
properly respond to a sewer system emergency that requires reconstruction of
CMSD sewer facilities, CMSD maintains a list of high quality contractors for
emergency services. The list contains contractors who have demonstrated
expertise in pumping station construction, pipeline construction, televising, and
pipeline rehabilitation utilizing trenchless technology. These contractors are
staffed with well-experienced workers who are able to handle the scope of
emergencies related to sanitary sewer systems.

III. LEGAL AUTHORITY
The District must demonstrate, through sanitary sewer system use ordinances,
service agreements, or other legally binding procedures, that it possesses the
necessary legal authority to:
(A) Prevent illicit discharges into its sanitary sewer system.
(B) Require that sewers and connections be properly designed and
constructed.
(C) Ensure access for maintenance, inspection, or repairs for portions of
the lateral owned or maintained by CMSD.
(D) Limit the discharge of fats, oils, and grease and other debris that may
cause blockages, and
(E) Enforce any violation of its sewer ordinances.
A. PREVENT ILLICIT DISCHARGES INTO ITS SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
The Sanitary District has the power to install sewers and enact regulations related
thereto, including the prohibition of private sewer systems and requiring all
inhabited property to be connected to CMSD sewers (Health and Safety Code
Section 6400 et seq.) Once exercised, a sanitary district’s power is controlling over
any general law city or county regulation pertaining to the same subject (Home
Gardens Sanitary District v. City of Corona (2002) 116 Cal.Rptr.2d 638.)
A permit from CMSD is required to connect to, use, or maintain a connection to the
CMSD’s facilities (District Operations Code Section 6.04.060 (a)). Any person, firm
or corporation that connects or discharges to CMSD’s wastewater system without a
valid permit is guilty of a misdemeanor (CMSD Operations Code Section 6.04.060
(f)).
In the Costa Mesa Sanitary District, illegal connections are usually connections to
the sewer system by property owners who have drainage problems due to flat
areas and low spots and who solve those problems by draining those areas to an
inlet that is connected to the sewer system. When instances of these illegal
connections are found, the property owner is required to immediately remove the
connection.
B. REQUIRE THAT SEWERS AND CONNECTIONS BE PROPERLY
DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED
Results of CMSD-wide video inspection show that vitrified clay pipe will remain in
excellent condition if proper construction practices are followed. Providing continuous
inspection during the installation procedure insures the proper construction practices
are followed. Continuous inspection of other utilities being installed in the vicinity of
the sewer lines insures proper protection methods are provided for the sewer lines and
lengthens the life expectancy of the lines.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
13
Title 6 of the Operations Code regulates sewer construction. All sewer construction
must be in accordance with CMSD standards (Section 6.01.010). The type of
materials and inspection requirements by CMSD staff are provided in Chapter 6.01.
The Sanitary District has its Standard Plans and Specifications for the Construction
of Sanitary Sewers that ensures the sewer lines and connections are properly
designed and constructed. CMSD’s specifications by reference incorporate the
Standard Plans and Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book),
which assists in insuring proper design and construction of sewer facilities.
C. MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION, OR REPAIRS OF SEWER LATERALS
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District does not own or maintain the sewer laterals
within CMSD boundary. By ordinance, the sewer laterals, even when located within
public streets remain private and are owned and maintained by the property
owner (CMSD Operations Code Chapter 6.02.020).
CMSD does require CCTV inspection and repairs of private sewer laterals under
certain conditions that will assist in preventing sewer spills (CMSD Operations
Code Chapter 6.03).
D. LIMIT THE DISCHARGE OF FATS, OILS, AND GREASE AND OTHER
DEBRIS THAT MAY CAUSE BLOCKAGES
Every owner, tenant and persons using property shall have a duty not to cause, permit
or allow the accumulation of grease in CMSD's sewer line so that sewage spills may
occur. Such persons shall use reasonable methods to reduce grease accumulation in
the CMSD's sewer lines including but not limited to reducing or eliminating the grease
that is deposited in the sewer and utilizing enzymes and similar products that prevent
grease build-up. No person shall discharge grease into the sewer system so as to cause
an accumulation in the CMSD's lines so as to substantially contribute to the possibility
of a sewage overflow (CMSD Operations Code Section 6.07.040).
On November 21, 2011, CMSD implemented a convenient program for residents to
dispose of unwanted cooking grease. In a partnership with the Orange Coast College
(OCC), residents can bring any type of grease filled jugs, bottles and/or containers to
the OCC Recycling Center located on Adams Street between Harbor Blvd and Fairview
Road in Costa Mesa. The grease is poured into one of the two 50 gallon vats that are
stored in front of the recycling center. When the vats are full, a contractor will arrive to
pump out the grease and then transport the material to a rendering facility where the
grease is recycled into useable products such as candles, soap, pet food and biofuel for
automobiles. If the Recycling Center is closed during the holiday months (November &
December), a temporary cooking grease drop-off site will be established at CMSD HQ.
No Food Service Establishment shall discharge into the CMSD’s system without
obtaining a permit from CMSD and shall implement Best Management Practices in their
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
14
business operations to minimize discharge of any FOG to the sewer system in
accordance with this chapter (CMSD Operations Code Section 6.07.050).
CMSD has adopted Operations Code Chapter 6.07, which control fats, oils, and
greases (FOG). Grease has been identified as the number one cause of sewer line
stoppages and spills by the Sanitary District and by the Orange County Grand Jury
who conducted a countywide study. Because of this finding, FOG has been
identified as the most important first step in improving sewer system reliability.
As stated earlier, CMSD has the legal authority to control discharges to the sewer
system for all sewer facilities located on private property that are outside any
structures located on the property. This authority allows CMSD to require grease
interceptors, as by Code the interceptor is located outside the building.
The legal authority for plumbing fixtures inside a building rests with the local
agency building department. CMSD controls the discharge of other debris into the
sewer system through its ordinances and through the ordinances of the Orange
County Sanitation District, whose regulations prohibit unapproved debris from
being discharged into the system (CMSD Operations Code Chapter 6.09). Both the
Costa Mesa Sanitary District and the Orange County Sanitation District only allow
discharges from permanently install plumbing fixtures unless authorized by special
discharge permit.
E. ENFORCEMENT OF VIOLATIONS OF CMSD SEWER ORDINANCES
CMSD has enacted an Operations Code by ordinance. Any person, firm, or
corporation violating the penal provisions of this ordinance shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of up to one thousand dollars per day
and/or up to six months in jail (Section 1.02.010).
Violations of the connection permit provisions of the Operations Code are also
subject to administrative citations (Section 1.06.010(d).
Violations of the Operations Code may result in termination of service in
accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 6523.2.
CMSD is also authorized to abate conditions on property and to collect the costs on
the assessment roll or as a lien (CMSD Operations Code Chapter 6.10).

IV. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
A. THE CMSD SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM MAP
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District uses Geographic Information System (GIS)
technology to create, maintain, and manage maps and data sets associated with its
wastewater collection system. The wastewater system GIS mapping is maintained
by EEC Environmental, a private contractor under contract with CMSD. Pipe
inventory data includes ownership, installation year, diameter, length, material,
slope, status, record drawing reference and other information. Manhole inventory
data includes ownership, installation year, shaft diameter, depth, invert elevation,
rim elevation, record drawing reference and other information.
In FY 2014-15, CMSD installed wireless tablets in its wastewater fleet that enables
staff to gain access to GIS maps and Computerized Maintenance Management
System (CMMS) work orders. Field staff no longer need to thumb through large
sewer and storm drain atlas maps or carry large binders of work orders. With the
tablets and access to CMSD’s Cityworks asset management system, powered by
Esri’s ArcGIS, all the information they need is at their fingertips. In 2016, CMSD
added features to the GIS/CMMS by allowing staff to view CCTV from the tablets.
The crew cleans 150 miles of pipeline a year, so access to CMSD’s asset
management system gives them important information such as last cleaning date,
notes about obstructions (if any), pipeline length and material, pipeline and
manhole conditions, and CCTV observations. Cityworks, empowers the crews to
access work orders and maintenance history. With a click of a button staff can
query specific data in the field such as pipeline condition, maintenance history,
photos, lift station run times, and asset lifecycles. The tablets can be removed from
inside vehicle cabs and used in the field to take pictures, open and close work
orders, take notes, send emails, search for reports, or log inspections among other
things. Hard copy Atlas maps are also available and maintained in CMSD’s fleet
and in the vehicles of its after-hours emergency responder, C&R Drains. CMSD’s
new GIS atlas maps are reprinted whenever significant updates are made.
The locations of all the storm water conveyance facilities are shown on separate
maps prepared by the agencies owning the storm drains and copies of these plans
in reduced size format have been distributed to the District Engineer, Engineering
Technician/Construction Inspector, Field Crews, Administrative Office, and to
CMSD’s after-hour emergency responder, C&R Drains. CMSD recognizes the link
between a sewer spill and its travel in a storm drain facility to the receiving waters.
CMSD has educated its staff and C&R Drains to understand the storm drain network
and utilize it to capture a spill if it has entered the storm drain system.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
17
CMSD understands the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
regulations for storm drain system owners contain requirements prohibiting sewer
system spills into the storm drains. The NPDES requires the storm drain system
owners to adopt measures that will decrease the possibility of sewer spills reaching
the waters of the state.
B. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PLAN
1. Proactive Wastewater System Cleaning
The District owns two combination sewer cleaning units that are
operated by two, two person crews. The goal is to clean the entire
system within eighteen months. When a unit is down for a long period of
time for repairs, the District will hire a private contractor to assist with
the cleaning and/or rent a combination sewer cleaning unit from a
private company that is operated by District staff to ensure the cleaning
goal is met. The District will continue reevaluating the system-wide
cleaning frequency to identify enhancements that will assist achieving
the objective of cleaning the entire system within eighteen months.
Enhancements will include, but not limited to:
• Increase contractor cleaning use
• Hire additional wastewater maintenance staff
• Purchase additional maintenance equipment
• Reduce the cleaning frequency for segments that do not require
eighteen month cleaning frequency.
Appendix 1 provides a map of CMSD’s sewer system that includes pump
stations, pressurized mains, gravity mains, and inverted siphons.
2. Enhance Maintenance Areas
Areas needing more frequent cleaning – known as enhanced
maintenance areas – are cleaned as frequently as necessary due to root
intrusion, grease accumulation, or structural defects. These include the
inverted siphons that run under flood control channels or commercial
areas with multiple restaurants. Cleaning frequencies for hot spots
range from twice a year to four times a year.
In 2011, a Hot Spot Committee, consisting of CMSD management and
field crew, was created to reduce the number of hot spot locations. CMSD
has successfully reduced the number of hot spot locations from 95 to 18.
On January 14, 2020, staff gave a report to the Board of Directors
indicating the number of hot spot locations could be as low as fourteen
within a few years. Reducing the number of hotspots from 97 to 14 saves
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
18
approximately 72 hours and 45 minutes of labor per year. The hours
saved is transferred to the annual cleaning cycle program.
The fourteen locations will remain on a permanent hot spot list because
it is more cost effective to clean these locations at a high frequency
rather than performing repairs and/or rehabilitation work. Because the
Hot Spot Committee has achieved its objective, the General Manager has
decided to disband the Committee. The Hot Spot Committee is no longer
meeting on a quarterly basis and will only meet when necessary.
3. Pump Station Operation and Maintenance
CMSD currently owns, operates and maintains 20 wastewater pump
stations. The District has one two-person crew that is responsible for
performing daily inspections and annual preventative maintenance on
the stations. Each of the lift stations are equipped with supervisory
control and data acquisition (SCADA) and monitored daily by CMSD’s
SCADA Technician/Industrial Electrician. The SCADA
Technician/Industrial Electrician can monitor lift station SCADA data
from the office or remotely on his cellular phone or from his wireless
tablet. CMSD addresses SCADA alarms on a daily basis.
The District has in its fleet a Ford F-750 Super Cab XLT utility truck with
a mounted outrigger crane. The crane can lift up to 11,000 pounds and
the truck came with special accessories such as welding equipment,
generator, 2” trailer hitch, air compressor and pressure washer. The
pump station maintenance crew uses the Ford F-750 to perform annual
preventative maintenance at lift stations. The crew performs the
following PM functions:
• Remove the motors to examine the impellers for wear and
torque;
• Change the oil;
• Check the motor windings for resistance;
• Test and check the general condition of the pumps;
• Re-install the pumps and test the system.
Replacement parts are inventoried at the District Yard, located at 174 West
Wilson Street, and replaced at pump stations in accordance with
manufacturer operations and maintenance manual.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021

CMSD acquired emergency equipment to ensure the stations that require
back up power had back up power in the event of a CMSD wide or regional
wide power outage. Table 4-1 below describes the emergency equipment
assigned to each station.

21st Street 114 21st Street Lift station has two-way manhole, which drains to the Elden Lift Station. No backup power is necessary.
Every quarter (once every three months), the Pump Station Committee, which
consist of CMSD management and the pump station crew, meet to discuss
pump station operations and needed repairs. The pump station crew will
report what they are observing on a weekly basis and share with the group
the pump run times according data collected from SCADA. Needed repairs are
scheduled accordingly.
In an effort to help prevent private SSOs, CMSD staff came up with an
innovative program to help diagnose the operational condition of private
sewer pump stations. This service is free to any of the twenty-six existing
private pump station owners that are currently located within CMSD service
area. Upon request and after receiving permission to enter their property,
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
21
staff will inspect the pumps and make recommendations for improvements.
Staff will perform the following inspections:
• Observe station in normal working condition
• Check valves
• Exercise plug valves
• Check electrical wiring and components
• Check motor starters, breakers and fuses
• Check motor chords and check resistance
• Check motor windings
• Take amperage reading for the motors
At the conclusion of the inspection a list of recommended repairs will be given to
the property owner/manager and it will be up to the owner/manager to perform
those repairs. A list of qualified contractors will be provided to the
owner/manager, but staff will not recommend a specific contractor.
In order to prevent private property sanitary sewer overflows from residential
properties, the Board of Directors replaced Sewer Lateral Assistance Program with
the Sewer Inspection Rebate Program (SIRP).The SIRP allows resident to receive
$200 to $250 rebate for televising and videoing the condition of their sewer lateral.
Residents can also receive $500 rebate for installing a ground level cleanout. The
program was developed to encourage homeowners to take a proactive approach to
sewer lateral maintenance.
4. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
Included in the District’s fleet is a CCTV trailer. The CCTV trailer is greatly
enhancing operations because when the cleaning crew finds obstructions in the
pipeline, CMSD can immediately analyze the problem by using the CCTV trailer and
then quickly implement mitigation efforts. The trailer is used for inspecting
locations that have roots, FOG and/or structural defects. CMSD staff is trained on
reviewing wastewater videos and how to identify pipe conditions by using National
Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment and
Certification Program (PACP).
C. REHABILITATION AND REPLACEMENT PLAN
Approximately 73% of CMSD’s wastewater system was constructed prior to 1965.
See Figure 4-1 below. The vast majority of the system constructed before 1965 is
made of vitrified clay pipe (VCP). Of the 27% of pipeline constructed after 1965,
93% is VCP. Other materials used for wastewater pipeline include ductile iron pipe
(DIP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and cast iron pipe (CIP). See Figure 4-2 below
regarding pipe material for the entire wastewater system.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
22
Figure 4-1: CMSD Wastewater System Age
Figure 4-2: Pipe Material
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
23
The oldest VCP pipe is 63 years with the average pipe age being 50 years old.
Vitrified Clay Pipe is the most sustainable pipe available for wastewater systems.
According to National Clay Pipe Institute (NCPI), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
assumes a one hundred year service life for VCP and the Canadian National
Research Council/Institute for Construction Research estimates the service life of
VCP at 132 years (source: http://www.ncpi.org/GreenStandards.asp). The
following describes how CMSD performs inspection and condition assessment for
its wastewater manholes and pipelines.
Manholes
CMSD has 4,707 wastewater manholes. 71% of CMSD manholes were constructed
prior to 1967 and made of brick. The remaining 29% of manholes are made of
concrete. Every year, when the wastewater maintenance crew is cleaning the
system, they open the manholes to access the mainline. When the manholes are
open, the crew will observe the condition of the manhole interior, specifically
where corrosion has deteriorated the brick walls, concrete walls, steps or manhole
bases. CMSD uses the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO)
Manhole Assessment Certification Program (MACP) format for documenting
manhole conditions. The MACP method is similar to NASSCO’s Pipeline Assessment
Condition Program (PACP) system. The MACP process provides a system for
identifying and documenting specific defects within the manhole. Furthermore, the
MACP documentation includes taking note of physical features of the manhole
which is valuable information for updating CMSD’s asset management program and
can provide useful information for determining rehabilitation options. The
documentation of physical features are logged into GIS and CMSD’s asset
management program. Other manholes are evaluated based on their years of
service described in the asset management plan. CMSD’s standard form of
rehabilitation for manholes is applying a polyurethane coating. From 2013 through
2021, the District has rehabilitated 276 manhole covers, rings and surface area, and
lined 22 brick manholes.
Pipelines
a. Gravity Main: From 2016 through 2018, the District televised the entire
wastewater system. By viewing the videos from 2016-18District staff was
able to assess the condition of gravity pipeline using NASSCO PACP
standardized ratings. NASSCO has developed this standardized system in
order to provide a consistent assessment of sanitary sewer conditions, as
well as to provide the capability of benchmarking wastewater conditions in
order to track deterioration over time. Two key concepts in collection
system asset management are criticality and condition severity.
Critical wastewater can be classified as wastewater where costs associated
with the failure are likely to be high. These are generally strategically
important wastewater systems where costs of failure are driven by high
construction costs associated with repairs, costly traffic delays and impacts
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
24
on property owners and stakeholders. In addition, proximity to waterways,
flows, and potential impacts to public health and the environment should
also be considered when classifying wastewater as critical.
Ratings of condition severity are provided by the PACP process and assist
the owner in prioritizing the pipeline to be considered for renovation. The
PACP process identifies the major deterioration factors and assigns a grade
that is related to the likelihood of failure or collapse. Deterioration factors
include surrounding soil condition, position of groundwater table, frequency
of wastewater surcharging, above ground traffic loading, methods and
materials used in construction, third party damages and defects such as
roots, grease and debris causing more frequent cleaning. Deterioration
factors are classified into categories of structural defects. PACP defects are
assigned a grade of 1 to 5 in order of increasing severity, as described in
Table 4-2
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
25
Table 4-2: NASSCO PACP Grades
Grade Importance Likelihood of Failure Structural Grade Example

Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
26
Using the table above CMSD has repaired 311 Grade 5 pipeline segments
from 20172019 at a cost of $515,000. There are approximately 493 Grade
4 line segments. These line segments will be periodically evaluated and
planed for rehabilitation in the near future.
b. Force Main: Force mains are considered critical pipeline in CMSD’s
wastewater system because of the velocity and volume of wastewater
flowing through the system. For instance, the Elden Pump Station pumps
3,750 gallons per minute and has an 18” force main pipeline that is
approximately 3,290 feet long making this station the largest of CMSD’s
assets. CMSD has four miles of force mains. Force mains near waterways
such as the Santa Ana Delhi Channel and Santa Isabela Channel, both
channels are tributary to Upper Newport Bay, and the Santa Ana River are
considered critical assets. Force mains near Orange County Flood Control
Channel are also considered critical to CMSD’s wastewater system.
67% of force mains are made of cast iron pipe (CIP) or ductile iron pipe
(DIP). 21% of force mains are made of other materials while 12% of force
mains are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Because CIP and DIP are
susceptible to corrosion CMSD is proactive to replacing force mains before
they fail.
CMSD staff prioritizes the replacement or rehabilitation of force mains by taking
into consideration the pipeline age, flow and proximity to waterways. From 2017
through 2020 the District has replaced and/or rehabilitated the following force
mains:
South Coast Plaza Construction Cost: 413,000
Victoria Construction Cost: $267,000
Canyon Construction Cost: $793,000
President Construction Cost: $674,000
A long-term action plan for rehabilitating and/or replacing force mains is
described in more details in CMSD’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District Wastewater Master Plan is in the process of being
updated to reflect subsequent growth and wastewater improvements. Adoption of
the Sewer Master Plan is anticipated in 2020.
Table 8-1 and 8-2 is a list of short and long term capital improvement projects that
focuses on rehabilitating and/or replacing force mains and pump stations, ductile
iron pipeline, calcium removal, sewer siphons, and rehabilitating brick manholes.

D. EDUCATION AND TRAINING
CMSD provides training on a regular basis to all employees performing operations
and maintenance activities on the wastewater system assets. CMSD also requires
contractors working on the wastewater system to be appropriately trained.
CMSD uses a combination of on-the-job training, conferences, seminars, and other
training opportunities to provide technical training for its wastewater collection
system staff. Vendors provide training for new equipment. Examples of technical
training and training material CMSD’s wastewater collection staff might take
advantage of are listed below in Table 4-3.

In addition to technical training provided by outside resources, CMSD provides in-
house technical training to equipment and collection system operations and
maintenance. The focus on in-house training is hands-on training at a work site. All
employees receive thorough training on the District’s SSMP, their roles and the
roles of others. The District conducts table top exercises to reinforce this training.
All employees are required to keep relevant portions of the SSMP with them at all
appropriate times.
The District Engineer is a member of the Orange County WDR General Group that
recommends or identifies training opportunities for wastewater professionals.
Some additional training opportunities that will be made available to District staff
will include, but not limited to:
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
28
• Cleaning procedures, including sewer combination units
• Use of the District’s Computerized Maintenance Management System
(CMMS)
• Emergency response procedures to pump stations
• SSO volume estimation
• Conduct emergency bypass training at high risk pump stations
• Conduct periodic SSO simulation training at District Yard
Every CMSD employee in the wastewater maintenance division must obtain CWEA
Collection System Maintenance Grade 1 certification within one year of
employment. CMSD offers pay incentives, up to 1.5%, for each grade certification
obtained. CMSD’s Wastewater Maintenance Superintendent has successfully obtain
Grade 4 certification, which is the highest grade for collection system maintenance.
Several District Wastewater Maintenance Workers have earned Grade 2
Certification or higher.
CMSD documents all training activities using a Training Sign-In Sheet with
signatures of attendees along with training agendas. These documents are
managed and stored by the Wastewater Maintenance Superintendent.
Contractors responsible for being first responders to SSOs receive refresher
training annually regarding CMSD’s standard operating procedures for responding
to SSOs. This training is documented using a Training Sign-In Sheet with signatures
of attendees along with training agendas. All contractors are required to keep
relevant portions of the District’s SSMP with them at all appropriate times. In
addition, CMSD requires contractors who work on CMSD wastewater projects to be
qualified with wastewater collection system experience. Each contractor must
provide CMSD with three references to demonstrate they are qualified to perform
the work and CMSD performs reference checks to verify contractor qualifications.
Also, during the process of selecting contractors for specific project, CMSD requires
each contractor to submit a list of three local comparable projects performed using
the equipment and techniques specified. These references are checked during the
selection process for a specific project. If confined space entry is required
contractors must provide evidence their staff are trained and certified to perform
this task.
E. EQUIPMENT AND REPLACEMENT PARTS INVENTORY
For the Sanitary District, keeping critical replacement parts available encompasses
stocking spare pumps that can be used as replacements while pumps are serviced
or replaced. CMSD attempts to use the same model pumps in as many stations as
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
29
possible to simplify maintenance and replacement. CMSD also attempts to use the
identical equipment in each of the pumping stations, including electrical panels,
liquid level sensors, back up sensors, valves, by-pass connection, etc.
CMSD has in its inventory emergency equipment for pump stations, such as
portable and standby generators, pipes, pumps, electrical panels, etc. In addition,
the District has composite manhole covers in its inventory for replacing dilapidated
manhole covers, and acquired new equipment to improve operations and
maintenance
All equipment is maintained in accordance with owner’s manual and the
maintenance is performed by licensed and experienced contractors. Maintenance
records are maintained by the Wastewater Maintenance Superintendent.
CMSD has identified pump stations pumps and motors as critical spare parts. CMSD
owns spare pumps and motors for all pump stations. In addition, CMSD owns spare
level transducers enabling quick replacement when needed. CMSD has designed
backup pumps and backup power providing redundancy at each lift station. The
Wastewater Maintenance Superintendent is responsible for maintaining and
updating the inventory of critical parts and equipment on hand.
All parts are stored at CMSD’s Yard and all potential responders have been given
appropriate keys and access codes so that such parts may be accessed in an
emergency.

V. DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE PROVISIONS
A. STANDARDS FOR INSTALLATION, REHABILIATION AND REPAIR
CMSD requires all new or rehabilitated sewer installations be tested and inspected
pursuant to the provisions of Title 6 of CMSD Operations Code and a permit is
required for such connections. The primary design and performance standards the
District uses in design and installations of new sewer systems are:
• Chapter 6.01 of the District Operations Code
• The Costa Mesa Sanitary District Standard Plans and Specifications for
the Construction of Sanitary Sewers
• Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction ("Green Book").
• American Public Works Association Standard Plans for Public Works
Construction
The standards listed above outline construction specifications for installing new
wastewater systems, pump stations, and other appurtenances, and for
rehabilitation and repair of existing wastewater systems. Design criteria include
specifications for items such as pipe materials, minimum sizes, minimum cover,
strength, minimum slope, trenching and backfill, structure standards, and other
related provisions. All new construction, rehabilitation, or repair of the sanitary
sewer system adheres to these standards.
Additionally, CMSD has standardized its use of equipment in the pumping stations
for ease of maintenance and replacement. This includes the pumps, liquid level
indicators, electrical components, valves, piping and telemetry. CMSD is
implementing no-dig pipeline rehabilitation as one of the methods for replacement.
The Sanitary District considers no-dig technology to be the future answer to
pipeline rehabilitation as systems reach their life expectancy. Parts of the Sanitary
District’s system will be 100 years old in 2050 and although vitrified clay pipe may
have a life expectancy far greater than 100 years, CMSD believes no-dig
rehabilitation methods will be the standard rehabilitation practice. In FY 16 CMSD
adopted the Greenbook (Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction,
latest edition) as the authoritative standard for new technology. In addition, CMSD
will use additional written specifications of the particular construction method
being used.
B. STANDARDS FOR INSPECTION AND TESTING OF NEW AND
REHABILITATED FACILITIES
CMSD’s standard public works contract provides the work is not placed into service
and accepted by the Board of Directors until inspection and testing is completed.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
31
Additionally, no dedication will be accepted and no tie into CMSD facilities will be
allowed where the District Engineer has not approved the plans and drawings and
has not inspected the project during its course of construction (CMSD Operations
Code Section 6.01.070).
CMSD provides continuous inspection during the construction of sewer facilities
and believes that proper installation is the key element to insure proper operation
and maximum life expectancy. Inspection and testing of new or rehabilitated
facilities ensures that the established standards are being implemented in the field.
Acceptance testing for gravity sewers can include low pressure air test or water
test to identify leakage, mandrel test to identify deflection of flexible pipe, and
television inspection to identify grade variations or other construction defects.
CMSD adheres to these standards for inspection and testing of new or rehabilitated
facilities that are outlined in the above listed standards.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
32
VI. OVERFLOW EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
The Overflow Emergency Response Plan (OERP) is developed as part of the CMSD
Sewer System Management Plan. The purpose of the plan is to establish guidelines
and measures to protect public health and the environment in case of an accidental
overflow.
In the case of an overflow, CMSD shall dispatch the appropriate crews to
investigate, identify the cause, and provide appropriate action to minimize the
effects of the overflow on public health and quality of surface waters. The OERP
further specifies the required notification and reporting that is necessary for local
and state agencies.
Appropriate CMSD personnel will be required to read the OERP and familiarize
themselves with the procedures. The OERP should be kept in an easily available
location for all utility personnel and public access reference.
A. SSO NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
Normal Work Hours
The normal working hours for CMSD office staff for answering emergency calls is
from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Thursday and 7:30 am to 3:30 pm every
other Friday. When a report of an SSO is made, the front office staff takes the
information from the caller and communicates this information to the Wastewater
Maintenance Superintendent or to the person in charge of the Wastewater
Maintenance Department when the superintendent is on leave. The Wastewater
Maintenance Superintendent or the person in charge will report to the site to
assess the situation and take appropriate action.
After Hours
Outside of regular business hours, CMSD’s general phone number (949) 645-8400
has information on who to call for after-hours emergencies, and the Costa Mesa
Police Department Dispatch follows CMSD procedures for SSO’s. Also, the City of
Newport Beach Utilities Department and the County of Orange Public Works
Department has emergency contact information for CMSD. Because the majority of
after-hours emergency calls for gravity sewer SSOs pertain to private small size
sewers, the first responder is C&R Drains, a local plumber. C&R Drains is under
contract to CMSD to provide first responder service and has the ability to unclog
any private sewer backup. They are trained how to read sewer and storm drain
atlas maps and their first responder must have maps, CMSD’s Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP) reports, tarps, sandbags and SSO warning signs in his/her vehicle
at all times. In addition, C&R Drains first responder must bring a high pressure
jetter equipment to all after hour calls.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
33
If upon arrival at the SSO C&R Drains finds the backup to be in a CMSD sewer main,
C&R Drains will call the CMSD’s on-call personnel who will respond to investigate
and take appropriate action.
If there is a sewer alarm from one of the sewer pumping stations, all CMSD’s
Wastewater Maintenance Department staff, including the District Engineer and
General Manager will receive the alarm via cellular phone text and email.
All CMSD staff and field crews have preprogrammed cellular phones to facilitate
instant communications. In addition, back-up phone numbers or contact
information shall be available for all critical personnel and listed in the chart of
contact persons. Should cellular phone communications be down during the
emergency, CMSD has low band two-way radios for use to communicate between
District staff, field crews and the Water Emergency Response Organization of
Orange County (WEROC) if need be.
B. APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO ALL OVERFLOWS
CMSD policy is to respond to all spills within the CMSD service area – and even
provide mutual aid outside CMSD – whether on public or private property and to
take all steps possible to prevent the spills from reaching the storm drains, flood
control channels, or waters of the State, all in accordance with the waste discharge
requirements.
Organization of this document details the lines of authority and responsibilities of
CMSD personnel during an emergency. Because CMSD provides only wastewater
and trash collection services, CMSD has equipment and manpower dedicated solely
to wastewater system maintenance, operation, and emergency response.
C. REGULATORY NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
If an SSO occurs, it is required that certain regulatory agencies be contacted. The
following reporting criteria explain when notifications should be sent and the
various forms that are required. Regulatory notification procedures are
administered by the District’s Engineer.
1) Oral Notification
As a first priority during a Category 1 sewer spill, the General Manager will
immediately notify the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal-OES) (not later
than two hours after becoming aware of the discharge) by phone that a spill has
occurred. The General Manager will then notify Orange County Health Care Agency
(OCHCA), Orange County Public Works and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board, if necessary. CMSD notifies OCHCA by phone on all private
property spills that are not fully recoverable immediately upon discovery.
Category 1 sewer spills are spills from CMSD sanitary sewer system of any volume that:
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
34
a. Reach surface water and/or reach a drainage channel tributary to a
surface water; or
b. Reach a Municipal Separate Storm Water System (MS4) and is not fully
captured and returned to the sanitary sewer system or not otherwise
captured and disposed of properly. (Any volume of wastewater not
recovered from the municipal separate storm water system is
considered to have reached surface water unless the storm drain system
discharges to a dedicated storm water or ground water infiltration basin
(e.g. infiltration, pit, percolation pond).)
Notify OES and obtain a notification control number is SSO is greater than or equal
to 1,000 gallons.
Notify OCHCA as soon as practical for SSO volume is less than 1,000 gallons.
Cal-OES (800) 852-7550 (within two hours after being notified of the
spill)
OCHCA (714) 433-6419 Control 1: (714) 628-7008 After Hours
RWCQB (951) 782-4130 Santa Ana Region: (951) 782-4130
OCPW (877) 897-7455 Control 1: (714) 628-7008 After Hours
Category 2 spills are discharges of untreated or partially treated wastewater of
equal or greater than 1,000 gallons that did not reach surface water, a drainage
channel, or a MS4 unless the entire SSO discharged to the storm drain system is
fully recovered and disposed of properly.
Category 3 spills are all other discharges of sewage that result from a failure in the
Agency’s sanitary sewer system.
2) Written Report
For Category 1 spills, CMSD will adhere to the following written procedures:
• Within 24 hours of notification of a Category 1 spill, CMSD will certify to the
appropriate RWQCB, by phone or with a follow up email, that Cal-OES and
OCHCA were notified.
• Within 3 business days of being notified of the spill event, CMSD will certify
the initial report using the CIWQS online SSO Reporting System
• Within 15 calendar days of the conclusion of the SSO response and
remediation, CMSD will certify the final report using the CIWQS online SSO
Reporting System.
• CMSD will update CIWQS and re-certify the SSO report as new or changed
information becomes available. The updates will be submitted as soon as
new information is verified. All updated reports will be certified.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
35
For Category 2 spills, CMSD will adhere to the following written procedures:
• Within 3 business days of being notified of the spill event, CMSD will certify
the initial report using the CIWQS online SSO Reporting System.
• Within 15 calendar days of the conclusion of the SSO response and
remediation, CMSD will certify the final report using the CIWQS online SSO
Reporting System.
• CMSD will update CIWQS and re-certify the SSO report as new or changed
information becomes available. The updates will be submitted as soon as
new information is verified. All updated reports will be certified.
For Category 3 spills, CMSD will adhere to the following written procedures:
• Within 30 calendar days after the end of the calendar month in which the
SSO occurred, CMSD will submit a certified report using the Online SSO
Reporting System. The report will include the information to meet the
GWDR requirements.
The District’s Engineer is responsible for overseeing the reporting process. The
District Engineer receives the spill report from the Wastewater Maintenance
Superintendent and drafts up the required report with the consideration given to
volume calculations, vacuum and wash down operations, cause of spill, timeliness
of response, etc. The reports are located in CMSD’s Standard Operating Procedures
for responding to SSOs. After discussions are complete, the report is finalized and
submitted to the Wastewater Maintenance Superintendent for review. After the
Wastewater Maintenance Superintendent has submitted his comments, the District
Engineer transmits the spill report to the appropriate authorities.
As required in the Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, CMSD also completes
the annual questionnaire by the end of December each year.
D. WATER QUALITY SAMPLING
The District relies on the Orange County Heath Care Agency (OCHCA) for monitoring
water quality and posting beach closures. The District also has procedures for conducting water quality sampling and preparing a SSO Technical Report for any Category 1 SSO in which 50,000 gallons or greater are spill to surface waters. The procedures are described in the District’s Standard Operating Procedures for SSO.
E. TRAINING PROCEDURES
All Wastewater Maintenance Department personnel, including the District
Engineer, Engineering Technician/Construction Inspector, General Manager and
C&R Drains, who have a role in responding to, reporting, and/or mitigating a
wastewater collection system overflow receive annual training on the contents of
this OERP. The training includes emergency operations, such as traffic and crowd
control, procedures for volume estimation and SSO start time determinations.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
36
Periodic field drills and exercises are conducted to assure the Wastewater Division
personnel practice under actual conditions.
CMSD maintains records for all OERP training provided in support of this plan. The
records for all scheduled training courses and for each overflow emergency
response training include date, time, place, content, name of trainer(s) and names
of attendees.

F. EMERGENCY RESPONSE OPERATIONS
The Wastewater Division personnel adheres to the response procedures described
in Chapter 3 of CMSD’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Sanitary Sewer
Overflows. Every wastewater maintenance employee has a copy of the SOP and the
document is stored in CMSD’s fleet. In addition, C&R Drains have copies of the SOP
in their vehicles and the General Manager and District Engineer have copies as well.
The response procedures described in Chapter 3 are as follows:
The first responder’s priorities are:
To follow safe work practices.
To respond promptly with the appropriate equipment.
To evaluate the cause of spill and determine responsibility.
To stop the spill and restore the flow as soon as possible.
To contain the spill.
To minimize public access to and/or contact with the spilled sewage.
To promptly notify the General Manager, District Engineer and/or
appropriate CMSD personnel in the event of a major SSO.
To return the spilled sewage to the sewer system.
To restore the area to its original condition (or as close as possible).
The first responder is responsible for following safety procedures at all times.
Special safety precautions must be observed when performing sewer work. Special
consideration should be given to following all local traffic, confined space, and
safety procedures.
All wastewater system calls require a response to the reported location of the event
in an attempt to minimize or eliminate an overflow. During normal working hours,
staff must respond to the site immediately and initiate response activities. After
normal working hours the first responder must respond to the site of the problem
and initiate response activities within 60 minutes after initial reporting of the spill
to the District. C&R Drains must respond to the scene with their high pressure
jetter trailer unit. If the responder cannot be at the spill location within 60 minutes
after the spill, then the late response shall be reported per the requirements in
Chapter 6 of the SOP.
The first responder should determine appropriate response measures based on the
circumstances and information provided by the caller (e.g. weather and traffic
conditions, small backup vs. sewage flowing on the ground, etc.). If additional help
is needed, contact other employees, contractors, agencies and/or equipment
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
39
suppliers. Based on available information, the first responder should determine if a
combination sewer cleaning truck and/or a spill response vehicle is needed.
Upon arrival at the site, the first responder should:
Note arrival time at spill site (include in Sanitary Sewer Overflow Field
Report Form).
Verify the existence of a sewer system spill or backup.
Field verify the address and nearest Cross street, making sure it’s part of the
District’s sewer/conveyance system.
Identify and clearly assess the affected area and extent of spill.
Comply with all safety precautions (traffic, confined space, etc.)
Contact caller, if time permits.
Take pictures of the impacted area.
Always notify the District Engineer and/or the General Manager,
particularly if:
• The spill appears to be large, in surface water or drainage channel
tributary to a surface water, or there is doubt regarding the extent,
impact, or how to proceed; or
• Additional help is needed for line cleaning or repair, containment,
recovery, lab analysis, and/or site cleanup.
• Make sure persons required to report the spill to other agencies are
notified and have all needed information.
Upon arrival at the location of a spill into a house or a building, the first responder
should evaluate and determine if the spill was caused by a blockage in the lateral or
in CMSD’s owned sewer main, caused either by a backup in the sewer main line or
nearby O&M activities.
If a blockage is found in a property owner’s lateral, it should be clearly
communicated that it is not CMSD’s responsibility to work on a private
lateral. Block the spill if wastewater is entering or will enter storm drain
system. Inform property owner that he/she has thirty minutes to restore
flow or CMSD will use C&R Drains and the property owner will be billed for
the services, including staff’s time. Take pictures.
If a backup in the main line is found to have caused the SSO in a house or
building, relieve the blockage in the main line.
The first responder should attempt to remove the blockage from the system and
restore flow to the area. Using the appropriate cleaning tools, the field Crew should
set up downstream of the blockage and hydro-clean upstream from a clear
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
40
manhole. The flows should be observed to ensure that the blockage does not recur
downstream.
If the blockage cannot be cleared within a reasonable time, or system requires
construction repairs to restore flow, then initiate containment and/or bypass
pumping. If assistance is required, immediately contact other employees,
contractors, agencies and equipment suppliers.
The first responder to a potential pump station or force main failure should:
Determine whether flow can be restored within a reasonable time.
If it appears that flow cannot be restored within a reasonable time or if the
conveyance system facility requires construction and/or repairs, then
employ CMSD’s Overflow Emergency Response Plan for pumping stations.
If assistance is required, immediately contact other employees, contractors,
agencies and equipment suppliers as required.
The first responder should attempt to contain as much of the spilled sewage as
possible using the following steps:
Determine the immediate destination of the overflowing sewage.
Plug storm drains using available equipment and materials to contain the
spill, whenever appropriate. If spilled sewage has made contact with the
storm drainage system, attempt to contain the spilled sewage by plugging
downstream storm drainage facilities.
Contain/direct the spilled sewage using dike/dam or sandbags.
Pump around the blockage/pipe failure/pump station or vacuum flow from
upstream of the blockage and dispose of downstream of the blockage to
prevent further overflow.
Take pictures of the containment area.
When an SSO occurs inside of a house or building, the first responder should
provide a copy of the residential sewage contamination flyer in Appendix 3
of the SOP and the property owner should be instructed to follow these
guidelines:
• Keep all family members and pets away from the affected area.
• Place towels, rags, blankets, etc between areas that have been affected
and areas that have not been affected.
• Do not remove any contaminated items
• Turn off the HVAC system
• Move any uncontaminated property away from the overflow area.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
41
Barriers shall be installed to prevent the public from having contact with the
sewage if possible. Signs should be posted to keep pedestrians away from contact
with spilled sewage. Do not remove the signs until directed by the District
Engineer.
SSO Field Reports are located in the SOP document and consistent with the
September 2015 Guide for Development and Updating SSMPs that was developed
by a consortium of sewer collection system agencies and environmental
professionals throughout the State of California.
In addition, CMSD has also developed an Emergency Response Plan for the majority
of the sewer pumping stations within the District. The District is currently in the
process of completing an Emergency Response Plan for four remaining pump
stations. These stations were originally planned for abandonment, but the project
was cancelled due to Orange County Sanitation District decision to withdraw from
this project due to sharply increasing project costs and because the abandonment
project will divert wastewater away from Reclamation Plant #1 in Fountain Valley
where wastewater recycling occurs. The Emergency Response Plans contain the
procedures to be implemented to prevent an SSO should the pump station become
inoperable or a major emergency, such as a downed bridge that contains a force
main, occurs. The plans include calculations of the number of pumper trucks
required, two different pre-determined driving routes to two disposal points while
avoiding potential high traffic or disaster points such as bridges, emergency contact
list, etc. A copy is present in all the field vehicles, in the Wastewater Maintenance
Superintendent, General Manager and District Engineer’s offices.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
42
VII. FOG CONTROL PROGRAM
Studies have shown that FOG is one of the leading causes for SSOs, so it’s important to
implement a FOG Control Program because of 730 food service establishments (FSE)
within CMSD service area. In recent years CMSD has also put an emphasis on
preventing residential FOG from entering the wastewater system. CMSD has retained
the firm of EEC Environmental to manage its FOG program at a yearly cost of $110,475.
Approximately five staff members from EEC perform functions in the FOG program
including engineers, administrators, and inspectors.
In addition to EEC, CMSD works with Orange County Sanitation District to coordinate
FOG Best Management Practices (BMPs) inspections from the Orange County Health
Care Agency (OCHCA). These inspections complement the EEC inspections giving CMSD
a two-pronged approach for insuring the FSEs follow the prescribed practices in the
FOG notebook developed for each FSE.
A. PUBLIC EDUCATION OUTREACH PROGRAM
CMSD’s contractor EEC has prepared and distributed a FOG notebook to each FSE
inside CMSD service area. The notebook includes log sheets for interceptor
cleaning, employee education, BMPs, guidelines, and posters.
Additionally, CMSD has made available, on its website, educational materials
regarding Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) and the sewer system. The site contains the
following educational materials that can be downloaded by the public:
• Fight the FOG - Keep Fats, Oils, & Grease Out of Your Drain brochure
(English & Spanish version)
• Homeowner’s Guide to Sewer Lateral Maintenance.
• FOG Control Program Manual
• Kitchen Best Management Practices for FOG
• Permit Conditions
• FAQs about FOG
• Grease Interceptor Diagram
The District also issues a quarterly newsletter with information regarding keeping
Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) out of the sewer system.
In 2011, the District implemented its residential FOG Recycling Program to
coincide with traditional holidays (e.g. Thanksgiving, Passover, Christmas, etc.)
where residents will be able to properly dispose their grease. Residents can deliver
their jug filled grease to the Orange Coast College (OCC) Recycling Center, which is
open to the public seven days a week. A contractor will periodically arrive at OCC
to remove the grease and transport it to a recycling facility where it will be recycled
for reusable products such as bio-fuel, candles, soap, etc. If the Recycling Center is
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
43
closed during the holiday months (November & December), a temporary drop-off
site for cooking grease will be available at District HQ.
B. FOG DISPOSAL PLAN
The District requires all new commercial construction and existing commercial
properties that have been found responsible for previous SSOs to install
appropriate grease-reducing devices, including grease interceptors. The
interceptors are required to be inspected and pumped out by a licensed company
on a regular basis, normally on a quarterly basis.

A permit from CMSD is required to connect to, use or maintain a connection to t
CMSD’s facilities (CMSD Operations Code Section 6.04.060 (a)). Any person, firm or
corporation that connects or discharges to CMSD’s sewerage system without a valid
permit is guilty of a misdemeanor (CMSD Operations Code Section 6.04.060 (f)).

CMSD also has the right to terminate a property from CMSD's service (District
Operations Code Section 6.02.080).
Every owner, tenant and persons using property shall have a duty not to cause,
permit or allow the accumulation of grease in CMSD's wastewater line so that
sewage spills may occur. Such persons shall use reasonable methods to reduce
grease accumulation in CMSD's sewer lines including but not limited to reducing or
eliminating the grease that is deposited in the sewer and utilizing enzymes and
similar products that prevent grease build-up. No person shall discharge grease
into the wastewater system so as to cause an accumulation in CMSD's lines so as to
substantially contribute to the possibility of a sewage overflow (CMSD Operations
Code Section 6.07.040).
D. GREASE REMOVAL DEVICE REQUIREMENTS
CMSD’s Operation Code requires that no Food Service Establishment (FSE) shall
discharge into CMSD’s system without obtaining a permit from CMSD describing
the business operations and discharge and any FOG prevention measures being
undertaken or to be undertaken to reduce the discharge of FOG into the District’s
system in accordance with this chapter (Section 6.07.040). In addition, FSE’s are
required to install, operate and maintain approved type and adequate sized grease
interceptors (Section 6.07.070). Furthermore, All new commercial construction of
FDRs shall have a grease interceptor that has been approved by the District unless
the developer demonstrates, to the District’s satisfaction, that such a device is not
necessary based on engineering findings which are set forth in writing (Section
6.07.080) and existing FSEs undergoing remodeling or a change in operations, or
FSEs that change ownership, shall be required to install a grease interceptor
(Section 6.07.090(b)).
In addition, the Orange County Sanitation District, which is the sewer treatment
agency for all the wastewater generated within the CMSD boundaries, has adopted
Ordinance No. OCSD-25 regarding FOG control which requires the installation of
interceptors on all food service establishments, including existing establishments,
to install appropriate grease-reducing devices, including sewer interceptors.
E. INSPECTION OF GREASE PRODUCING FACILITIES
CMSD has adopted four grease control ordinances, Ordinance 41, in 2003,
Ordinance 51, in 2005, Ordinance 81 in 2010, Ordinance 113 in 2016 codified as
Chapter 6.07 of CMSD’s Operations Code, giving CMSD legal authority to implement
a comprehensive grease control program. CMSD retained EEC Environmental (EEC)
to manage CMSD’s FOG Control Program. EEC performs several types of FSE
inspections to ensure FSEs comply with FOG regulations and FOG Control Program
requirements. The types of inspections performed by EEC are identified below.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
46
Permitting Inspections
EEC physically inspects and educates FSEs within CMSD that are new to the FOG
Program. These FSEs include new FSEs and existing FSEs that have a change in
ownership or name change requiring re- permitting.
For those FSE that have been identified in the vicinity of hot spots or identified as
FOG sources, EEC meets and discusses, with the FSE management, the enforcement
options that are available to CMSD and the steps that the FSE can take to avoid
additional enforcement.
Grease Removal Equipment (GRE) Inspections
EEC physically conducts GRE inspections for FSEs with a grease interceptor or
grease trap to evaluate compliance with the FSEs grease removal equipment
requirements.
Kitchen Best Management Practice (BMP) Inspections
EEC conducts kitchen BMP inspections for FSEs without GREs and evaluates
compliance with the FSEs BMP requirements.
Combined Kitchen BMP and GRE Inspections
EEC conducts combined kitchen BMP and GRE inspections for FSEs
Compliance Inspections
EEC conducts compliance inspections where it is determined by CMSD that a
follow-up inspection is required for a non-compliance issue that has been identified
in previous BMP, GRE or FOG source wastewater pipe inspections. This may
include the issuance of written warnings or notice of violations (NOVs) to FSEs that
are found to be in non - compliance of the FOG control ordinance or permit.
CCTV Source Inspections
EEC assesses hot spots to identify FSEs that are discharging FOG in CMSD’s
wastewater collection system.
Enforcement Inspections
These inspections are conducted when elevated enforcement of the permit
requirements are required or when the revocation of the FSEs grease interceptor
installation Conditional Waiver, Waiver or Variance is required. Due to the serious
nature of these inspections, EEC attempts to meet with the FSE manager or
property owner to discuss the enforcement and the FSE's plans to achieve
compliance.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
47
F. FOG PROGRAM STAFFING
FOG Control Program staffing consists of a combination of CMSD staff and
contractor staff. EEC provides one full time equivalent (1 FTE) staff person
dedicated to CMSD’s FOG Control Program. EEC staff person is responsible for the
following activities:
• FOG Control Management, including database and GIS management.
• FSE inspections
• FSE compliance follow-up
• FOG Control Program enforcement
• FOG Control Program education, outreach and customer support
• CCTV coordination and source inspection
In addition to EEC staff, the District Engineer provides staffing (0.25 FTE) for
CMSD’s FOG Control Program. The District Engineer is responsible for the
following activities:
• Grease removal device plan review and processing
• FOG Control Program variance and waiver evaluation and processing.
G. CLEANING SCHEDULE FOR SEWER SYSTEM SECTIONS SUBJECT TO
FOG BLOCKAGES
CMSD has identified a number of problem areas that are more prone to blockages
and SSOs. These areas are typically inverted sewer siphons and areas with excess
grease build-up. These enhanced cleaning areas, or ‘hot spots’, are shown on the
GIS map prepared by EEC.
In addition, CMSD employs preventive maintenance as a means to address areas
prone to FOG accumulation in the system. CMSD has identified areas in the
wastewater system with FOG issues through a combination of maintenance crew
knowledge, past grease related SSOs, CCTV data and the collaboration of EEC and
District personnel. CMSD addresses these locations through a combination of FOG
source control, wastewater cleaning, and CCTV. CMSD will continue to adjust the
wastewater cleaning frequency of pipes to address the FOG issue while optimizing
the amount of wastewater cleaning performed.
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
48
H. SOURCE CONTROL MEASURES FOR ‘ENHANCED MAINTENANCE
AREAS’
CMSD and Orange County Sanitation District, which is the sewer treatment agency
for all the sewage generated within the CMSD boundaries, have adopted ordinances
requiring installation of appropriate grease-reducing devices, including sewer
interceptors, on all new commercial developments and existing food service
establishments. Furthermore, CMSD has adopted an ordinance allowing CMSD to
require the installation of appropriate grease-reducing devices, including sewer
interceptors, on existing properties that are found to be causing or potentially
causing SSOs.
Additional source control measures for the ‘Enhanced Maintenance Areas’
identified by CMSD consist of a public education and awareness program that
includes distribution of the CMSD’s pamphlets for restaurant and homeowner
grease control, FOG video on the CMSD’s website and a newsletter. CMSD has also
distributed its grease control notebooks to all 730 food service establishments
inside CMSD. The notebook contains a poster, BMP list, and other information
relative to CMSD’s grease control program.

VIII. SYSTEM EVALUATION AND CAPACITY ASSURANCE PLAN
The District has a Sewer Master Plan that assesses the capacity of the sewer
system. The main purpose of a Master Plan is to compare the projected peak flow
from the land uses adopted in the General Land Use Plan with the carrying capacity
of the sewer lines. The Sewer Master Plan was updated in 2020.
A. EVALUATION
CMSD’s Sewer Master Plan incorporates a hydraulic model analysis of the
wastewater mains in the system. The peak flow estimates are estimated using flow
coefficients developed by CMSD based on land usage. The flow coefficients used by
CMSD have been compared to the coefficients used by Orange County Sanitation
District and found to be reasonable. Special cases, such as high-rise office
buildings, hotels and high volume industrial uses are evaluated separately using a
peak flow estimate for the individual parcels.
The capacity of each line is determined and those lines unable to handle future
master planned flows are identified. The current system capacity is able to handle,
without surcharge, the current dry weather flow, which has decreased from 10.1 to
8.9 mgd (million gallons per day) and wet weather peak sewer flows.
B. DESIGN CRITERIA
CMSD has adopted the industry standard of designing new sewer lines up to 18
inches in diameter to be flowing no more than half full at peak wet weather flow.
Lines 21 inches or larger are designed to be flowing no more than three quarters
full at peak wet weather flow. However, when analysis of existing conditions are
completed for the purposes of determining when additional capacity is required,
flows above these limits, but less than completely full are accepted. At no time is
wastewater allowed to flow in a surcharged or pressurized condition.
C. CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT MEASURES
CMSD’s Sewer Master Plan includes the short and long term CIP to address
identified hydraulic deficiencies. Funding for the Capital Improvement Plan is from
fees collected from new construction and from wastewater rates that are assessed
on property tax rolls.
CMSD is also active in reducing Inflow and Infiltration (I/I). CMSD has ruled out
Infiltration as a source of water in the system after televising the entire system
from 2016 through 2018.. CMSD has identified Inflow as a source of water and has
plugged and sealed manhole covers in identified flood zones, low lying areas and
particularly manhole covers located in gutters and alley flow lines. In addition, the
District found two illegal connections from the Orange County Fairgrounds that
was contributing inflow into the Mendoza Tributary Area. The two illegal
Costa Mesa Sanitary District Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) January 25, 2021
50
connections were plugged to prevent further inflow. In 2020, the District smoke
tesedt the entire Fairgrounds property to determine if more illegal connections
exist and need of plugging.
D. CIP SCHEDULE
CMSD’s Sewer Master Plan was updated in 2020. CMSD had identified short and
long term needs for renewal and replacement of existing infrastructure. The
prioritization of these projects is based on the following criteria:
Age or life expectancy
Flow capacity and/or flow rate
Proximity to waterways
Risk to public health and the environment
Table 8-1 identifies CMSD’s short term CIP Schedule while Table 8-2 is CMSD’s long
term CIP Schedule. CIP projects are funded from CMSD’s Asset Management Fund.
The purpose of the Asset Management Fund is to accumulate reserves for capital
improvements. This fund has a reserve requirement of $5,000,000. Annual
Reserve Contributions are made with transfers from the Wastewater Fund
estimated by the Asset Management Program. Transfers back to the Wastewater
Fund are in accordance with CMSD’s capital budget plan and provide funding for
capital projects. Both schedules below may be modified after the completion of the
hydraulic modeling analysis.

Brick Manhole
Rehabilitation Phase 2
In 1953 when the first District
manholes were installed, contractors
had an option to construct brick
manholes or pre-cast manholes similar
to today’s pre-cast manholes,
unfortunately, no steel mesh or rebar
was installed in the brick manholes.
Un-reinforced brick structures are very
susceptible to damage during seismic

Ductile Iron Pipe
Rehabilitation
In yesteryear, engineers believed the
use of ductile iron pipe (DIP) was the
answer to protect shallow sewers
because of the inherent strength in
the pipe walls. However, air in the line
reacts with the dissolved sulfides in
wastewater causing the formation of
sulfuric acid and iron subjected to air
causes corrosion, thereby degrading
the inside walls of ductile iron pipe.
Additionally, acidic soils corrode the
exterior of DIP. The rehabilitation
method consists of chain flailing the
interior then installing a liner.
