Storm water Trash Order Jurisdictional Map and Full Capture Systems Analysis
Section B Project Understanding and Approach
Project Understanding
On June 1, 2017, the Colorado River Basin Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board) issued a Water Code
Section 13383 Order requiring Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) co-permittees with regulatory
authority over Priority Land Uses to select a method of compliance with the trash prohibition: Track 1 or Track 2. La
Quinta notified the Board it will comply with the Order by implementing Track 1, which requires co-permittees to
install, operate, and maintain a combination of full capture systems that remove trash from stormwater runoff from
Priority Land Uses.
The Project Manager, Todd Pitner, PE, will be the primary point of contact and will handle the day-to-day activities for
compliance with the Water Code Section 13383 Order. Mr. Pitner understands that this is partnership with the City of
La Quinta with the mutual goal of compliance in the most efficient, cost effective manner while taking into
consideration the capital costs and long-term maintenance costs of the proposed treatment devices. Equally as
important is the technical evaluation of each proposed treatment device to ensure, upon installation, the device
functions as intended and does not cause adverse conditions (i.e., flooding, vector concerns, compromise water
quality objectives or public safety.)
Technical Approach
Michael Baker takes a comprehensive approach to compliance with this Order to improve efficiency, accuracy and
control costs. The comprehensive approach, as discussed in detail in Section C, begins with a kick-off meeting
introduce the Michael Baker Team to City staff and to fully understand and document the City's goals, objectives and
preferences. Michael Baker's intention is to form a partnership with the City of La Quinta and expand upon the efforts
performed to date. Michael Baker believes in open and on -going communication with the City staff throughout the
project execution process.
Experience has proven that implementing adequate due -diligence is the key element to a successful project. The
detailed review of available records, files and documents is crucial, as all future analysis will build on this foundation.
Michael Baker offers a robust group of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) professionals to lead the data
management and mapping efforts, which are critical components of compliance reporting and progress tracking. Our
team will work with the City to obtain land use information and staff knowledge and work with City identified Priority
Land Use (PLU) areas (i.e., those land uses that studies have shown generate significant sources of trash). Our
water quality experts will work with the City to gather information about existing Institutional Controls (Street
sweeping, signage, etc.) and the City storm drain system.
Michael Baker understands that the City of La Quinta may request or Michael Baker may request that the Regional
Board approve an equivalent alternative land use to replace an MS4 that is difficult to treat. An equivalent land use is
an area that generates trash at rates that are equivalent to or greater than one or more of the priority land uses listed.
This alternative option would help the City of La Quinta and the Regional Board focus on controlling trash in areas
with the highest trash generating areas; thus, allocating trash -control resources to the developed areas that generate
the highest sources of trash.
Michael Baker realizes the fiscal burden placed on the City of La Quinta to achieve compliance. Costs may include,
but not be limited to, consultant fees, cost to purchase, install and maintain each proposed treatment device. Michael

Baker has extensive experience with a majority of manufacturers and products on the Water Board's certified full
capture system list. Michael Baker is confident that our evaluation of each system and site -specific recommendations
will provide value to the City of La Quinta from a cost and technical feasibility perspective. Michael Baker will prepare
a detailed cost analysis to serve as the basis for budgeting of capital and on -going maintenance costs.
Michael Baker is excited to implement our strategic comprehensive evaluation to ensure compliance with the Water
Code Section 13383 Order. As stated above, Michael Baker and the City of La Quinta will form a partnership to
ensure full compliance in the most cost-effective manner. Michael Baker's Project Team has extensive experience
and is committed to exceeding the expectations of the City of La Quinta and providing the highest quality of service.

Scope of Work
City of La Quinta
Stormwater Trash Order Jurisdictional Map and Full Capture Systems Analysis
Section C Scope of Work
Comprehensive Approach to Conducting Full Capture Systems Analysis and Preparation of Final
Jurisdictional Map
A Full Capture Systems Analysis will be conducted within the limits of the City of La Quinta to establish the level of
effort, locations of full capture systems (currently in place and proposed), types (alternatives) of proposed full capture
systems, and associated capital costs and long-term maintenance costs for compliance with the trash prohibition,
Track 1. Equivalent Alternative Land Use Areas will be identified, particularly for catch basins on private property
where it may not be feasible to install full capture systems. Michael Baker's comprehensive approach to include the
following tasks:
1) As required under the Trash Order, Michael Baker will identify and focus the analysis on all Priority Land
Uses within the City of La Quinta. Michael Baker will conduct a thorough review of all provided records and
information, including GIS files for zoning, storm drain pipes, bus stop locations, catch basins, etc. A list of
questions and comments and/or request for additional information (e.g., as -built drawings) will be provided
to the City, as necessary.
2) Michael Baker will conduct a thorough review of storm drain alignments and catch basin locations tributary
and down -gradient of each Priority Land Use. The intent of this review is to determine flow patterns for the
purpose of identifying locations and types of full capture systems.
Google Earth with street view is a valuable tool that will be used to better understand the City of La Quinta's
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System without the need for field visit. When necessary, field visits will be
conducted when information is not available from performing a comprehensive review of City -provided
records, information and utilization of on-line resources.
3) Michael Baker will evaluate whether the designation of equivalent alternative land uses will benefit the City's
compliance effort. This measure is applicable when Priority Land Uses or portion thereof, have limitations
and/or constraints for implementation of Full Capture Systems. The intent of this prioritization of land uses
also allows MS4s to allocate trash -control resources to the developed areas that generate the highest
sources of trash. Michael Baker will complete a thorough review of the City's land use and preliminary
jurisdictional maps to assess the need for equivalent alternative land uses.
If equivalent alternative land uses are deemed necessary, Michael Baker shall use the equivalent alternative
land use delineation methodology presented in CASQA's On -Land Visual Trash Assessment trainings,
which were held in Spring 2018 and attended by Michael Baker staff. The State Water Resources Control
Board has also made the CASQA methodology and related training materials available on its Trash
Implementation Program webpage. Using the CASQA methodology will ensure the City's equivalent
alternative land use calculations are mathematically defensible, and help to streamline their approval by the
Colorado River Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board). Any proposed equivalent
alternative land uses shall be submitted to the Regional Water Board for approval in a timely manner to
receive approval prior to the submittal of the final jurisdictional map.
At this stage, the Michael Baker Team will have an accurate assessment of the level of effort for
compliance. Concerns from the Permittees were discussed during the review period regarding the ability to
switch Track designations throughout the course of implementation due to feasibility concerns, budget
INTERNATIONAL Page 13
r �

constraints or economic considerations. The Water Board is appreciative of this concern. The ability to
change Tracks would be possible at the discretion of the permitting authority after the effective date of the
first implementing permit. If a permittee changes Tracks, then permitting authority would likely need to
modify the permit requirements to follow the implementation provisions in the Trash Amendments.
4) Upon completion of the comprehensive analysis and field investigations, Michael Baker will incorporate all
pertinent information into a Geographic Information System (GIS). GIS files shall include, but not limited to,
boundary limits of all Priority Land Uses, type of Priority Land Use (i.e. high density residential, industrial,
commercial, mixed urban, public transportation, etc.), MS4 network including all catch basins, type and
width of catch basins installed, tributary areas up -gradient of catch basins, and proposed locations of all Full
Capture Systems for compliance with Trash Amendment Order, Track 1. (See below, titled, "Base Map Data
Gathering and Generation".)
The task of inputting GIS data will likely begin at an earlier stage, as the information becomes available. A
meeting with the City will be scheduled prior to beginning this work to discuss the needs and wants in
regards to layers and information management to support the compliance program.
5) Once each tributary drainage area is delineated and characterized, Michael Baker will determine which Full
Capture System is most appropriate for each location. To assist with this process, Michael Baker will create
a City -specific certified and approved Full Capture System selection flowchart that considers costs,
feasibility of installation, effectiveness, and long-term maintenance requirements. In some cases, based on
the outcome of these analyses, it may be more cost effective to install a regional Full Capture System as
opposed to retrofitting numerous catch basins upstream.
Recommendations for Full Capture System installations, including a cost analysis to install, operate, and
maintain each system, will be provided to the City staff for review. Upon concurrence from the City staff, the
type of Full Capture System selected for each location will be entered GIS. (See below, titled,
"Analysis/Evaluation of Trash Treatment Control Devices".)
6) Michael Baker shall prepare the Final Jurisdictional Map to comply with Track 1 requirements per the Water
Code Section 13383 Order. The Final Jurisdictional Map shall identify:
• Priority Land Use areas discharging to the storm drain network;
• The corresponding storm drain network and associated drainage areas;
• Proposed locations for certified Full Capture Systems, and;
• Proposed equivalent alternative land uses, documentation demonstrating that the substitution of
equivalent alternative land uses has been approved by the appropriate Regional Water Board
Executive Officer, and corresponding storm drainage network, if applicable.
It is important to note that Michael Baker will establish a partnership with the City of La Quinta during this entire
process. All evaluations, considerations and recommendations will be shared and discussed with City staff at each
stage to ensure the proposed compliance efforts are in agreement with the City's objective and long-term
maintenance plan.

Stormwater Trash Order Jurisdictional Map and Full Capture Systems Analysis
Base Map Data Gathering and Generation
The first activities for this task will be focused around obtaining and mapping base information. This is a crucial step
as all future analysis will build on this foundation. Michael Baker offers a robust group of Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) professionals to lead these efforts. Our team will work with the City to obtain land use information and
staff knowledge and work with City identified Priority Land Use (PLU) areas. Our water quality experts will work with
the City to gather information about the City storm drain system.
In our experience, trash amendment compliance is best demonstrated through GIS. Using GIS software, we can
effectively store, display, query, and analyze geographic data which can be used as the foundation for streamlining
compliance reporting and measuring progress. Data related to land use, jurisdictional boundaries, and transportation
can be accessed through county, state, and federal agencies. Other data and map layers can also be created as the
need arises. Attributes specific to features within Full Capture Systems can be edited, added, and deleted, and can
be created in a way that shows current and previous conditions. These features can be also exported and shared in
GIS or CAD formats.
GIS also provides cost saving and compliance benefits with field applications. GIS features are compatible with
ArcGIS Online which allows the user to edit and view in real-time while in the field. Monitoring and documentation of
field practices will allow the user to modify the inspection frequency, as necessary, and allocate resources to the
locations with the greatest benefits. Proper documentation of field conditions is beneficial in monitoring
"effectiveness" of various full capture systems and allows the user to adjust accordingly for future installations.
Analysis/Evaluation of Trash Treatment Control Devices
Certified Trash Full Capture Systems
In accordance with the Trash Amendments, all trash treatment control devices installed after December 2, 2015 shall
meet the Full Capture System definition and be certified by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water
Board) Executive Director, or designee, prior to installation. Upon installation, trash treatment control devices shall:
be appropriately sized to treat not less than the peak flow rate resulting from a 1-year, 1-hour storm event
(design storm) or at least the same peak flows from the corresponding storm drain;
2. not bypass trash below the design storm under maximum operational loading conditions;
3. trap all particles that are 5 mm or greater up to the design flow or at least the same peak flows from the
corresponding storm drain; and
4. not have a diversion structure present upstream such that a portion of the peak flow is not treated to trap all
particles 5 mm or greater.
The State Water Board Executive Director, in accordance with the Trash Amendments, maintains a list of State
Water Board's Certified Trash Full Capture Systems. Each device undergoes a strict review process which requires
the manufacturer to submit an application with detailed description, drawings, diagrams, etc. with supporting
hydraulic calculations to confirm compliance.
Michael Baker will assess the trash capture devices already accepted by State and Regional Boards in California
(e.g. Los Angeles and San Francisco). This will include factors such as capital cost, ease of maintenance, life span,
Page IS
INTERNATIONAL

avoidance of confined space entry, accessibility during storm events, flood risk, etc. It is worth noting that there are
many types of structures that have met Board certification as "full capture", however other concerns such as vector
breeding need to be factored. To efficiently evaluate a full range of options, Michael Baker staff will categorize and
develop a preliminary short list of approved structures based upon shared physical characteristics and/or collectively
similar functionality (i.e. evaluate catch basin inserts collectively and compare against curb inlet screens, high flow
capacity devices.) Based upon this initial screening, a final list of recommended specific proprietary structure(s) will
be identified for subsequent cost estimating.
Various types of State Water Board's Certified Trash Full Capture Systems (Devices) are available. However, not all
Devices are equally effective for all applications. Devices can also vary significantly in capital and maintenance
costs. When selecting a Device, one must take into consideration the characteristics of the tributary area, estimated
trash volume, and configuration of the existing catch basin to be retrofitted, if applicable. Although the device has
been certified, it is the Permittees responsibility to ensure proper installation, and full compliance. A site -specific
evaluation of each location must be performed to ensure the Device will function as intended. In addition, the ability
to allow bypass flow must be evaluated with the assumption that 100 percent of the screens are clogged. This quality
control/quality assurance is critical to ensure the newly installed Device does not contribute to additional flooding.
Cost Analysis — Installation. Maintenance and Operation
To adequately fund the trash amendment compliance efforts, cost analysis will be conducted on all State Water
Board's Certified Trash Full Capture Systems which are considered feasible for installation. This analysis will be
provided to the City staff to help make an informed decision of the full capture device best suited at each location.
The analysis will include:
• Cost of product (Bulk discounts will be discussed/negotiated with manufacturer)
• Installation cost (Bulk discounts will be discussed/negotiated with manufacturer)
• Inspection procedures and estimated time to conduct an inspection
• Recommended frequency of maintenance (To be adjusted based on actual field conditions)
• Maintenance procedures, including a description of necessary equipment and materials and an estimated
time to perform the maintenance
Project Schedule to Achieve Full Compliance
Upon award of this contract, Michael Baker will begin the Full Capture System Analysis. The analysis must be
complete with the final jurisdictional map uploaded to SMARTS by December 1, 2018. Permittees requesting to
substitute "Equivalent Alternate Land Uses" for Priority Land Uses must obtain Regional Board approval prior to
SMARTS submittal.
Upon reissuance or amendment of the State and Regional Water Board MS4 Permits, trash control implementation
requirements and compliance milestones will be included to demonstrate progress towards 100 percent compliance
with the Trash Amendments. It is anticipated that Permittees shall meet full compliance ten years after the effective
date of the first implementing permit, but in no case, later than December 2, 2030.

Using previous GIS screening prepared by the County, Michael Baker identified the location, extent, and land use
makeup of the "priority land use" areas. A literature review was conducted focused on trash generation rates
documented in Los Angeles County (2004 Study for Ballona Creek watershed), the Bay Area (BASMAA Baseline
Trash Generation Rate Project), Caltrans and other relevant studies from within California, as well as nationally. The
results of the GIS analysis previously conducted by County staff were used to identify priority land use areas within
the County. A determination was made that the trash generation rate was well represented with values obtained from
the literature, but that a supplemental monitoring study would better identify trash generation rates in County -specific
land uses that were not well represented in the existing studies. As a result, the County pursued a monitoring
program to more accurately determine trash generation rates based on physical data.

evidence of the City's compliance with NPDES Permit. Using the tracking
methodology developed, and the baseline Trash Generation Rates from the
City's NPDES permit, Michael Baker quantified the reduction of trash within
each subwatershed in the City within the last year to comply with the City's
NPDES Permit. The results then determined the effectiveness of the City's

reduce flooding in a residential neighborhood. Prepared final street plans, specifications, and estimates for this street
rehabilitation project to improve Elm Avenue, Pine Avenue, Walnut Avenue, and 19th Street. The scope of work for
the detention basin consisted of a hydraulic analysis of the existing storm drain system and a hydrology analysis of
the watershed to determine the level of protection currently provided. It was determined that additional storm water
storage was necessary due to the inadequacy of the existing storm drain system to convey flow in excess of the 10
year storm. To eliminate flooding of residential units during greater intensity storm events, additional volume was
provided with the use of an underground detention system, which provides flood protection of the residential units for
storm events up to the 50 year storm.
