Hopefully you can make it to the 3/10 ccm to lobby. t. ------ Dear CityCouncil, Dear Doug Krauss' i was surprised that the 2/3 CCM patio encroachment staff report (URL below) seemed to be biased towards costs to the city in terms of lost revenue andNOT cost to the impacted businesses, namely Mickey's and the Green Store. So let me provide the info the staff report failed to provide the options. GREEN STORE ANNUAL COST (312sqft): @ $2.50 sqft = $9,360 (today) @ $2.00 sqft = $7,488 @ $1.50 sqft = $5,615 @ $1.00 sqft = $3,744 MICKEY's ANNUAL COST (384 sqft): @ $2.50sqft = $11,520(today) @ $2.00 sqft = $9,217@ $1.50 sqft = $6,912 @ $1.00 sqft = $4,608 Here is the thing that bugs me. I understand why the staff report provides fiscal impact in terms of list city revenue but i dont understand whythe staff report would not provide the above costs to inform the Council's decisions. And i certainly don't understand why the staff report, intentionally or not, did not provide the dataabove but rather provided the encroachment fee for a PARKING SPACE instead; when neither store takes up a parking space nor are their patios a candidates for parking spaces. Thisjust obfuscated the high cost that Mickey's and the Green Store are actually paying. Hopefully the staff report can be improved before the next hearing. It seems as if the city staff istrying to the scale by omitting this data.

Based on the materials provided, the eventis anticipated to bring approximately 12,000 runners and up to 1,000 spectators through our City on a Saturday evening in October. While the event could provide regional visibilityand activity, the race starts and finishes in Redondo Beach, meaning our City would primarily serve as a pass through segment of the course. Even as a pass through city, our residentsand businesses will still experience the operational impacts associated with the event, including traffic circulation changes, parking constraints, and street closures during peakafternoon and evening business hours. Because of these impacts, it is important that if the event is approved, our local businesses and residents see clear and meaningful benefits inreturn. There is also an important scheduling consideration. The currently proposed weekend of October 17–18 already includes the Skechers Friendship Walk and AAU VolleyballLeague Matches, and approval of the Nike race that same weekend would require an exception to the City’s policy limiting the number of large events on a given day. Bycomparison, the following weekend, October 24–25, may work better for our City, given the IBVL Tournament and Beach Tennis Matches, which are generally more beach based andmay create fewer overlapping impacts on parking, traffic, and business access. Our City has hosted major events in the past, including the Teen ChoiceAwards, which broughtnational exposure but also showed the importance of integrating local businesses early in the planning process. When business participation is not built in from the outset, theeconomic benefits can be uneven while the disruption remains very real for residents, restaurants, retailers, and service businesses. That lesson is especially relevant here. Nike’s own2025 After Dark Los Angeles event was clearly designed as more than just a race. Nike described it as a race weekend that included a post-race concert, “music, style andconnections,” and broader activations around the event. Nike also promoted a larger training and community model that included training plans, local run club meetups, communityevents, and post-race recovery zones. At the same time, public reporting on the 2025 Los Angeles event showed that participants experienced long waits and logistical issues, eventhough many still found the race atmosphere empowering and memorable. That suggests two clear takeaways for our City: First, if Nike is going to bring amajor branded eventthrough our city, Hermosa should benefit from the same kinds of activations and community building opportunities Nike promoted elsewhere, not simply absorb closures and disruptionwhile the main start, finish, and highest value activity centers remain in Redondo Beach. Second, the City should ensure strong local planning, communication, and follow through soour residents and businesses are not left dealing with avoidable access, circulation, or event management problems. Our City should benefit through: • A guaranteed spectator andactivation zone at Pier Plaza during the race, so the city has a clear gathering place that supports local foot traffic. • Daytime activation of Pier Plaza with booths, sponsorprogramming, community tables, and promotional partnerships so residents and businesses benefit throughout the day, not just during the run. • Structured opportunities for Hermosabusinesses to participate through cheer zones, local promotions, vendor opportunities, and marketing tie-ins. • Expanded VIP and participant hotel room blocks across Hermosa hotels,rather than limiting that benefit to only one or two rooms. • A post event economic impact assessment that includes business feedback, actual visitor spending patterns, and lessonslearned for future event approvals. If approved, this event should not simply pass through our City. It should provide meaningful value to the people and businesses who will be mostdirectly affected by it. Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate the City’s efforts to bring high quality events to our City, and I hope these suggestions help ensure thatany event approved is structured to support both our local economy and our community experience.

The Chamber has not been contacted by Nike or event organizers to discuss how local businesses might be includedthrough activations,partnerships, or other opportunities that could help offset this disruption.If the City is considering approval of this event, we respectfully request that Nike and the event organizers engage directly with the Chamber prior tofinal approval to explore ways tointegrate Hermosas business community. In particular, we encourage consideration of: a spectator and activation zone at Pier Plaza with programming that directs visitors into thedowntown district; daytime activations and partnerships with local businesses; opportunities for Hermosa businesses to participate through cheer zones or vendor activations;expanded hotel room blocks across Hermosa hotels; and a post-event economic impact assessment including merchant feedback.We also note that the currently proposed date of October 17 & 18 already includes two large regional events - the Skechers Friendship Walk and AAU Volleyball League matches -which would require the City to make an exception to its policy limiting the number of major events per day. The following weekend, October 24 & 25, may provide a more balancedoperational fit given the existing schedule of the IBVL Tournament and Beach Tennis Matches.Thank you for your consideration.Michelle CrispinPresident & CEOHermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors BureauNo PositionPage 30 of 1021 City Council Regular Meeting - March 10, 2026Ecomment ReportAPPROVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL 84 DISABILITY ACCESS: CONSTRUCTION-RELATED ACCESSIBILITY CLAIMS: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT - 26-CMO-010Michelle CrispinDear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff - On behalf of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce, we appreciate the Citys leadership in considering accessibility reform legislation and understand that the Council isevaluating a letter of support for SB 84.Our Chamber strongly supports accessibility and the principle that businesses should provide safe and inclusive access for residents and visitors of all abilities. At the same time, manysmall businesses are facing increasing challenges navigating complex accessibility compliance requirements while also managing the risk of costly litigation over technical violations.For this reason, the Chamber believes SB 84 represents a constructive step forward.

This fix-it-first model prioritizes correcting barriers quickly while still preserving strong accessibilityprotections.However, we respectfully note that SB 84 does not address an emerging area of concern for many small businesses: website accessibility complaints. Small businesses are increasinglyreceiving legal demand letters related to website accessibility, even when those businesses rely on third party platforms or are unaware of technical deficiencies.Without addressing these digital accessibility concerns, there is a risk that litigation pressure may simply shift from physical accessibility claims to website related claims.For this reason, the Chamber respectfully encourages the City to consider supporting SB 84 while also advocating for future amendments or companion legislation that addresswebsite accessibility for small businesses, including:A notice and cure process for website accessibility issues similar to the framework proposed for construction-related claimsClear technical standards that small businesses can reasonably followEducational and technical assistance resources to help businesses improve website accessibility proactivelyThese recommendations are not intended to weaken accessibility protections.

In thiscontext, I envision 4 categories, from most to least valuable:1) Pier Plaza - most valuable space with highest foot traffic2) Parking/On Street space - big spaces otherwise available for parking3) Sidewalk space - tables, chairs, & other merchandise displays that don't fully block the sidewalk for pedestrians4) Other spaces - nooks & crannies out of the way of pedestrians & cars, e.g Mickey's patioAccordingly, the merchant costs for each category should be lower for less valuable categories. Modulating the costs based on whether the merchant serves alcohol or not, or on theclosing time of the encroachment, or both. By my own calculations/estimates, the following fee levels would result in similar revenue to today while also reducing overall cost for some of the smallest businesses:Pier Plaza = $5 if serve alcohol / $3 no alcohol serviceOn-street = $4 / $2Sidewalk = $2 / $1Other = $2 / $1ForAPPROVAL OF IMPACT LEVEL III NEW SPECIAL EVENT AFTER DARK TOUR LA 2026 - 26-PR-004Todd TullisAttachment 3 shows significant evolution since this was brought to the Parks & Recreation Commission on Feb 10.

These spaces have helped activate our streets, create a moreengaging pedestrian experience, and support local businesses. We also appreciate the City revisiting the fee structure and considering adjustments for different types of businesses.However, we are hearing from many retailers that encroachment fees remain challenging. Many of these businesses use relatively small areas for modest product displays or a coupleof tables -spaces that are less about expanding revenue and more about visibility and creating an inviting street presence.In todays retail environment, small independent businesses are navigating significant economic pressures. For many retailers, these outdoor spaces are not primarily revenuegenerators, but an important way to attract foot traffic and contribute to the character of our commercial districts.While a fee structure around $1.00 per square foot has been discussed, we are hearing from some retailers that even that level can still be challenging depending on the size of theencroachment area and the nature of their business.When businesses are able to activate their storefronts, it makes our commercial corridors more welcoming and walkable. These small outdoor spaces encourage people to spendmore time in our business districts and support local economic activity.Most importantly, the small retailers, surf shops, neighborhood markets, and family-run establishments that use these spaces are part of what makes Hermosa truly Hermosa.The Chamber respectfully encourages the City Council to consider a fee structure that supports these businesses while continuing to foster active and welcoming commercial streets.Thank you for your consideration.No PositionPUBLIC COMMENTAnastasia BrienI register my and my family's support to host the Nike After Dark Tour to take place in October.

First and foremost the devil is always in the details and when Nike pitched this event to the Parks commission they could not answer any questions meaningfully about the followingpotential impacts:- 500 parking spaces on Hermosa Ave lost almost certainly leading to major parking problems for west side residents. Nike says additional parking willbe provided but hasnt fefined aplan. Not only will the Hermosa Ave parking spots on both sides of Hermosa Ave Northbound be lost almost the entire length of the city and overflow into westside residentialneighborhoods but many people who normally park on the south side of Hermosa ave will move their cars into these same residential neighborhoods. - Grandstands, DJs, platforms, amplified sound, port o potties, temporary lighting, tents, and vehicle bollards in westside residential neighborhoods AND approving this event withoutunderstanding the neighborhood by neighborhood a clear understanding of specifics is a dis-service to impacted residents. - Resident access to the beach and the Strand impacting the entire length of the city. What are the details. Exactly how will beach access and a walkway onthe eastside of thestrand be provided as Nike claims? Close Beach Drive?-A potential 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. event tear down in our neighborhoods.This is also possibly a bad fit because of our relationship with Sketchers and the fact that it may occur on the same weekend as the Sketchers Pier to Pier Charity Walk just adds injury toinsult. This is a slippery slope where the city starts making a habbit of selling resident quality of life to the highest bidder and westside residents pay the price. i would support this event if Nike would make a substantial contribution on say 1 million dollars to a reputable charity like Breast Cancer Research.

Sincerely, Michelle Crispin President/CEO Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau Page 39 of 1021 Dear City Council, Dear CM Napolitano The city reduced the speed limit from 25 to 20mph in the downtown business district citing pedestrian safety issues and the need to improve the quality of the downtown dining experience. It's time to do the same on busy RESIDENTIAL collector roads for the reasons and address our safety and quality of life issues. In the attached speeding ticket analysis on busy residential collector roads i started with the premise that HBPD enforcement on roads like Prospect, Ardmore, Valley and Manhattan Ave was lacking and that lidar/radar enforcement on these streets was non-existent. What i found was not a single speeding ticket had been issued on busy residential collector roads like Prospect, Ardmore, Valley Drive Manhattan Ave or 27th street in two years. Monterey had one speeding ticket in two years. Total Speeding Tickets per Year: * 2024: ~46 citations * 2025: ~115 citations URL: https://cityofhermosabeach-ca.nextrequest.com/documents/60343238? token=0e3da57ef23c77b8fd8c317ee9c04ae5 That is about one speeding ticket in Hermosa per week in 2024 and two per week in 2025. Another way if looking at it is in 2024 there was about one speeding ticket per 16 (twelve-hour) shifts and in 2025 speeding enforcement increased by a factor of ~2.5 to one speeding every 6 shifts. But no matter how you look at it, not a single speeding ticket was issued on Prospect, Ardmore, Manhattan Ave, Gould adjacent to Valley Park, or 27th Street in 1,460 consecutive 12 hour shifts. I hope you seriously consider whether increased enforcement is justiﬁed. Page 40 of 1021 But please allow me to segue to the underlying reasons for this speeding analysis. First, there a reasonable case to be made that reducing the speed limit from 25 to 20mph on the busy residential road segments that connect Gould to the downtown area via 27th st then Hermosa Ave is justiﬁed under AB43/AB1014 How 27th St scores against AB 43/AB 1014 criteria High Pedestrian/Bicyclist Areas — this is the strongest ﬁt: •Busy park with primary access via the 27th/Morningside crosswalk ✓ •School-safe crosswalk designation implies concentration of children ✓ •Class 3 bike route ✓ •Dense residential = high pedestrian generation close to roadway ✓ •High Concentration of Children and Seniors at Valley Park access points ✓ 27th and Gould adjacent to Valley Park appears to check multiple boxes under this law and the need for a 20mph speed limit is ampliﬁed by the degraded and obstructed and non-ADA compliant sidewalks on the westbound side of the street where several locations provide less than 20 inches of clearance while several hundred heavy trucks run up/down steep hills within a couple feet of the curb. The park access point alone, combined with the bike route designation and school crosswalk, seems to squarely meet the intent of the "high pedestrian/bicyclist areas" language. Safety Corridors & Vulnerable Areas (AB 43 / AB 1014) Local jurisdictions and Caltrans now have more ﬂexibility to reduce limits based on safety data rather than just trafﬁc ﬂow. • Safety Corridors: Limits can be reduced by 5 mph on streets with high concentrations of fatal or serious injury crashes. High Pedestrian/Bicyclist Areas: Reductions are permitted near transit hubs, parks, or areas with high concentrations of seniors, children, or unhoused individuals. Page 41 of 1021 Note Parks and high concentration of seniors and children. 27th is also a class 3 bike route • Highway Reductions: Assembly Bill 1014 (effective 2026) allows the Department of Transportation to reduce highway speed limits by 5 mphin safety-sensitive areas Is targeted enforcement justiﬁed? By almost any trafﬁc safety standard, yes. The conditions you're describing — narrow lanes, heavy trucks, degraded infrastructure, dense residential setbacks, a school-safe crosswalk, 7,500-10,000 daily vehicles, documented resident speed complaints, and late-night bar trafﬁc — represent a textbook case for targeted enforcement. The fact that zero speed citations appear in two years of HBPD records for this corridor is the core ﬁnding. It's not that speeding isn't happening; it's that enforcement hasn't been deployed there. I also hope the council asks the police chief if lidar/radar enforcement being used and if it being used at all on busy residential collector roads. Finally, I'm not suggesting there weren't high priority hbpd enforcement/ safety actions happening on residential collector roads throughout our community. That is certainly a possibility. Thank you for your Consideration, tonyhiggins ADDITIONAL DETAILS Total Speeding Tickets per Year: * 2024: ~46 citations Page 42 of 1021 * 2025: ~115 citations The data tells a very clear geographic story: 1. PCH & Artesia Blvd — by far the dominant hotspot, accounting for roughly 70–75 citations, the majority concentrated in 2025. This intersection straddles the Hermosa/Manhattan Beach border, and many citations list a Manhattan Beach address, suggesting enforcement activity at or just north of the city line. 2. 2800 Block PCH — about 10–12 citations, mostly in early-to-mid 2024. This stretch is near the northern city limit. 3. PCH & Longfellow Ave — cluster of ~6 citations, mostly January 2025. 4. PCH & Gould Ave — cluster of ~6–7 citations, Jan–Apr 2025 5. S. Sepulveda & Tennyson — 3–4 citations in a tight cluster (August 2024). 6. El Oeste & Gould Ave — 3 citations on a single day (October 8, 2024). Time Patterns * Most citations are issued during daytime hours (7am–noon), particularly at the PCH/Artesia corridor — consistent with commuter enforcement. * A notable minority are late night/early morning (midnight–2am range), scattered across various Hermosa Ave and PCH locations — likely DUI patrol or bar-close enforcement. Regarding a seperate Public Records Request I made seeking Lidar/Radar enforced speeding tickets over the past two years and for which I was told there were no records found; Chief Phillips said: "We do not have a report which speciﬁes which speeding tickets were issued with the assistance of Radar or Lidar.... Page 43 of 1021 He went on to say "The fact that we do not have the speciﬁc record that you requested, does not mean that we have not issued speeding citations in the last two years."

Determine the resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; and 2. Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) to approve the preparation of a report for the annual levy of assessments within the Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District during Fiscal Year 2026–2027. Executive Summary: The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District (District) collects funds for the maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within street medians and parkways. The District must be renewed annually through a three-step process. Staff recommends initiation of the renewal process for Fiscal Year 2026–2027. Background: The District was created in Fiscal Year (FY) 1989–1990, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Sections 22500 –22679). The District assessment funds the maintenance and operation of streetlights, traffic signals, and landscaping located within parkways and medians citywide. The assessment rate has remained unchanged since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and is set at $41.45 per dwelling unit. The City Council must approve the annual enrollment of assessments within the District through a three-step process. First, City Council directs the Director of Public Works to prepare an Engineer’s Report, which includes the list of parcels within the District, the method of apportioning the assessment across these parcels, and the estimated cost of maintaining and operating the District. Second, staff presents the Engineer’s Report to Page 72 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3 City Council for approval and requests to set a date for a public hearing declaring the City Council’s intention to order certain improvements and to levy and collect assessments within the district for the new fiscal year. The third and final step is to hold a public hearing to gather public input on the proposed assessment and to determine whether there is a majority protest to the annual levy of assessments for FY 2026–2027. Analysis The City complies with Proposition 218 and can continue to levy assessments without requiring a ballot, provided the assessments are not increased. The assessment rate per dwelling unit has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and will continue at the rate of $41.45 per dwelling unit in FY 2026–2027. By approving the attached resolution, City Council authorizes initiation of the annual renewal process by authorizing the preparation of an Engineer’s Report, which would contain maps, methodology, costs, and estimated assessments for the District. The Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 requires the following action items in order to levy and collect assessments for the District for FY 2026–2027: 1. The Director of Public Works files the Engineer’s Report consisting of, among other things, the map and the assessments with the City Clerk; 2. The City Council adopts a resolution approving the report as prepared under the direction of the Director of Public Works; 3. The City Council adopts a resolution setting the date, time, and place for a Public Hearing in order to accept input on the report for the District for FY 2026–2027. 4. The City Council holds a Public Hearing and, if no majority protest is heard, adopts a resolution confirming the map and assessment for the District for FY 2026–2027 and levies the assessment rate for the fiscal year commencing on July 1, 2026, and ending on June 30, 2027; and 5. The City Council adopts the FY 2026–2027 estimated revenue for secured collections for the district. The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District only partially funds the maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within street medians and parkways. The estimated total cost to maintain the District was budgeted this current Fiscal Year 2025-26 to be $858,542 plus net administration costs of $9,872. However, the anticipated assessment to be collected is only $468,079. At its June 24, 2025 meeting to adopt the FY 2025-26 Budget, City Council approved a transfer of $400,335 from the General Fund to cover this deficit. Page 73 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3 Environmental Analysis: The proposed project is categorically exempt from CEQA. Under Section 15378 of CEQA, adoption of this Resolution is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 because it constitutes an administrative and fiscal action directing preparation of an Engineer’s Report, and initiating annual assessment proceedings does not authorize or approve any specific physical change to the environment. In addition, the action is exempt from CEQA even if this action were deemed a “project” pursuant to Section 15301 , Class 1 – Existing Facilities, because it involves the continued maintenance, operation, and servicing of existing public landscaping, lighting, traffic signals, and related improvements with no expansion of existing use. Furthermore, the action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), Common Sense Exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of this Resolution may have a significant effect on the environment. Lastly, none of the exceptions set forth in Section 15300.2 apply. Fiscal Impact: The City continues to run a deficit between what is collected through the assessment and what is needed to operate and maintain the district. During the FY 2025–26 budget adoption process, City Council approved a transfer of $400,335 from the General Fund to the City’s Lighting & Landscaping Fund to cover the deficit. It is anticipated that a similar transfer would be needed to cover the expected deficit for the upcoming FY 2026– 2027 budget. The review of the district’s rates and consideration of the creation of a new supplemental district would require further evaluation and is pending staff availability. To effectuate any proposed rate increase, it must be placed on the ballot in an upcoming general election in compliance with Proposition 218.

Page 75 of 1021 Page 2 of 3 RES-26-XXXX SECTION 3. California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The City Council finds the following pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines: a. Section 15378. Adoption of this Resolution is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 because it constitutes an administrative and fiscal action directing preparation of an Engineer’s Report, and initiating annual assessment proceedings does not authorize or approve any specific physical change to the environment. b. Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities).

Section 15300.2. None of the exceptions set forth in Section 15300.2 apply. SECTION 4. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications; and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable. SECTION 5. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution; cause the same to be entered among the original resolutions of the City; and make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the Council in the minutes of the meeting at which time same is passed and adopted.

(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Determine the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5). 2. Approve the proposed amendment to the agreement with Ron’s Maintenance, Inc. for On-call Storm Drain Catch Basin Maintenance Services, extending the contract term through June 30, 2027, and increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $173,351 to $218,632 (Attachment 2); 3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to increase the annual project contingency from $10,000 to $15,000 per year for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27; and 4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed amendment, approve minor non-substantive modifications if necessary, and execute all related documents, with the City Clerk attesting the agreement subject to approval by the City Attorney. Executive Summary: At its May 10, 2022, meeting, City Council awarded a maintenance services agreement to Ron’s Maintenance, Inc. to provide on-call storm drain catch basin maintenance services. The term for this agreement is currently set to expire on June 30, 2026. Staff requests approval of the proposed amendment to extend the term of the agreement by one year to June 30, 2027, and increase the not-to-exceed contract amount from $173,351 to $218,632. Staff also requests an increase in the annual project contingency from $10,000 to $15,000 to better address unforeseen maintenance needs associated with regulatory compliance and system conditions. Background: The Public Works Department relies on specialized contractors to perform on-call storm drain catch basin maintenance in support of the City’s stormwater infrastructure and regulatory obligations. The City’s stormwater system includes 130 City catch basins, 194 Page 78 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3 County-owned catch basins, 53 City-owned infiltration boxes, and 2 Filterra biofiltration units. Maintenance services include cleaning and inspection of catch basins and filters, transportation and disposal of non -hazardous and hazardous materials, and laboratory analysis as required. The frequency of cleaning and documentation of debris removal are mandated under the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Annual reporting is required by the State Water Resources Control Board. On March 24, 2022, the City conducted a competitive solicitation process for these services for FY 22-23 through FY 25-26, with an optional one-year extension. Ron’s Maintenance, Inc. was determined to be most qualified and cost-effective bidder. Past Council Action Meeting Date Description May 10, 2022 Council awarded contract to Ron’s Maintenance, Inc. for Storm Drain Catch Basin Maintenance Services. Discussion: The current agreement will expire on June 30, 2026, and the contract is approaching its authorized spending limit due to ongoing routine and regulatory-driven maintenance needs. Continued services are necessary to maintain compliance with NPDES permit requirements, prevent debris, sediment, and pollutants from entering receiving waters, protect public infrastructure and water quality, and address emergency and high -priority maintenance needs during storm events. The prior solicitation only included pricing through FY 25-26. Staff contacted Ron’s Maintenance to request the rates for an additional one-year term covering FY 26-27 and Ron’s Maintenance offered to complete them at the same cost with no increase. Staff has evaluated contractor performance and finds Ron’s Maintenance, Inc. to be responsive and reliable in providing ongoing services and the proposal to extend to term of the agreement at no increase in cost provides an excellent value for the City. Extending the contract ensures service continuity and avoids disruption to required maintenance schedules. Staff intends to release a new Request for Proposals (RFP) during FY 26 -27 to cover services starting in FY 27-28. Environmental Analysis: The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5), as it consists of administrative activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The amendment pertains to ongoing storm drain maintenance services within existing infrastructure Fiscal Impact: The proposed FY 26-27 one-year extension maintains the current FY 25-26 established annual service cost of $45,281. Staff also recommends increasing the annual contingency Page 79 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3 from $10,000 to $15,000 for the upcoming FY 26-27 to better address as-needed and unforeseen maintenance needs. The total additional authority including the contingency requested for the FY 26-27 extension year is $60,281, resulting in a not-to-exceed amount of $233,632. Staff intends to budget the one-year extension in expected available Storm Drain Funds as part of the upcoming FY 2026-27 budget cycle.

Page 112 of 1021 Page 5 of 18 7.1.3. Automobile Liability Coverage.

This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company. 7.2.4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents. 7.2.5.

Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement. 7.5. Failure to Procure Insurance. Failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2 above. 7.6. Nonpayment of Deductible. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONTRACTOR as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR or deductible on CONTRACTOR’S behalf upon the CONTRACTOR’S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured Page 114 of 1021 Page 7 of 18 under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONTRACTOR for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by City due to the breach. 8.

Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the CITY and subcontractor nor shall it create any obligation on the part of the CITY to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to any such subcontractor other than as otherwise is required by law. 9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, CODES, ORDINANCES, AND REGULATIONS. The CONTRACTOR shall use the standard of care in its profession to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations. 9.1. Taxes. The CONTRACTOR agrees to pay all required taxes on amounts paid to the CONTRACTOR under this Agreement, and to indemnify and hold the CITY harmless from any and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against the CITY by reason of the independent contractor relationship created by this Agreement.

Addenda to modify the federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be issued to holders. Future effective general prevailing wage rates which have been predetermined and are on file with the California Department of Industrial Relations are referenced but not printed in the general prevailing wage rates.

Determine that CIP 630, Community Center Gas Line Repairs is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); 2. Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the increase in project contingency by $42,000 from $46,600 to $88,600 for CIP 630 Community Center Gas Line Repairs project for a total authorized amount of $321,600; and 3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to approve contract change orders up to the approved project contingency amount. Executive Summary: On September 9, 2025, City Council awarded a construction contract to New Power Contracting for Building Mechanicals in the amount of $233,000, with a 20% project contingency of $46,600, for a total authorized amount of $279,600. Construction activities have revealed unforeseen site conditions that have required significant use of the approved contingency. Approximately 80% of the contingency has been expended to address these conditions. The remaini ng Council approved contingency is expected to be insufficient to address any additional unforeseen issues or potential change orders necessary to complete the project. Staff is requesting City Council authorize the Director of Public Works to increase the total project contingency amount by $42,000 from $46,600 to $88,600 and to approve contract change orders up to the amount of the approved project contingency. Sufficient funds are available within the existing project budget to accommodate the contingency increase, and no additional appropriation is required. Page 212 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4 CIP 630 Community Center Gas Repairs includes, but is not limited to, abandoning and replacing portions of the existing gas piping system to restore gas service at the City of Hermosa Beach Community Center located at 710 Pier Avenue. Background: On March 23, 2024, Public Works staff responded to a strong odor complaint in the south wing of the Community Center and detected natural gas. Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) confirmed a gas leak, and the main gas line was shut off as a safety precaution. However, SoCalGas was unable to pinpoint the exact location of the leak, as it appeared to be underground. Subsequent efforts by Public Works staff, a plumbing contractor, and a specialized leak detection firm were unsuccessful due to the gas line running beneath the building and being largely encased in concrete. As a result, staff determined the most prudent and cost-effective solution was to abandon the existing gas line and install new gas lines routed from the roof to improve accessibility and facilitate future maintenance. On September 9, 2025, City Council awarded a construction contract to New Power Contracting for Building Mechanicals in the amount of $233,000, with a project contingency of $46,600, to repair the gas lines in the Community Center (Attachment 2). The project’s plans and specifications included the following approved scope of work:  Abandoning existing gas lines;  Replacing an existing 4-inch gas main line and extending the new main line inside an existing building chase and roof;  Running new gas lines along the building’s roof;  Extending the new gas lines through the roof and into various areas of the building to reconnect appliances and equipment;  Installing new valves;  Properly patching and sealing all roof penetrations;  Painting new piping to match adjacent wall finishes; and  Patching, finishing, and replacing ceiling tiles and paint to match existing ceiling. Construction began in October 2025 and has progressed in accordance with approved plans and specifications. However, unforeseen site condition s have required substantial use of the contingency. During core drilling operations at the south building (gymnasium, classrooms, and Emergency Operations Center), it was discovered that the concrete roof thickness exceeded what was indicated in available records. As a result, the original plan to extend new gas lines through the roof was not feasible. Instead, the new gas lines were re-routed through attic spaces connecting the classrooms, surface-mounted along the gymnasium ceiling, and extended to the EOC utilizing attic access. Additionally, during construction, asbestos-containing plaster ceiling material was discovered between the drop ceiling system (T-bar and ceiling tiles) and the roof in Page 213 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4 portions of the south building. Asbestos-containing debris was also identified in attic spaces of the north building. As a result, these materials required removal by a certified hazardous abatement contractor prior to continuation of work. The remaining Council - approved contingency is anticipated to be insufficient to address any further unforeseen conditions while completing the project. The proposed improvements are necessary to fully restore gas service throughout the Community Center for heating and operation of various building systems and appliances. Past Council Action Meeting Date Description September 9, 2025 Award of Construction for CIP 630 Community Center Gas Repairs Discussion: Staff recommends City Council approve the increase in the contract contingency by $42,000, which will bring the total project contingency to $88,600. The additional contingency will provide flexibility to address any remaining unforeseen conditions and allow the project to proceed without delay. Given the age of the facility and the complexity of routing utilities through existing structures, maintaining adequate contingency is prudent to ensure successful project completion. Staff has reviewed the proposed change orders received to date and finds the proposed costs are consistent with expectations and is a good value. As New Power Contracting for Building Mechanicals is currently working in the facility, which has no reliable heat source beyond space heaters, and their ability to self-perform the task (i.e., no sub-contractors) and avoid additional mobilization on the project site, further competitive bidding would not produce any competitive advantage to the City, and likely miss the opportunity to complete much of the work in an expedited manner so that heat can be fully restored to the building. Environmental Analysis: The Project is exempt under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). The proposed work is a minor alteration of existing public structures or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing use. No exceptions to the CEQA exemption apply. Fiscal Impact: The requested increase of the project contingency totals $42,000. Approval of the proposed increase will revise the total contract spending authority to $321,600, including a contingency of $88,600. City Council previously approved $279,600 in spending authority for the construction of the project, including $233,000 for New Power Contracting for Building Mechanicals and a $46,600 project contingency. Page 214 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4 CIP 630 Community Center Gas Repairs is included in the current Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget and funded through the Capital Improvement Fund (301) with a total project budget of $350,000. Sufficient funds are available within the existing project budget to accommodate the contingency increase. No additional appropriation is required.

The amendment pertains to ongoing custodial services within existing facilities. (Public Works Director Joe SanClemente) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Determine that the Second Amendment to the Janitorial Servies Contract with Xanadu System Services is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(5) (administrative activities); 2. Approve the second amendment to the agreement with Xanadu Service Systems for janitorial services, adding additional services for the remainder of Fiscal Year (FY) 25-26, extending the contract term through June 30, 2027, and increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $651,696 to $895,313; (Attachment 1); 3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to increase the established project contingency per year from $10,000 to $15,000 per year starting in FY 26-27; and 4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed amendment, approve minor non-substantive modifications if necessary, and execute all related documents, with the City Clerk attesting the agreement subject to approval by the City Attorney. Executive Summary: At its May 24, 2022 meeting, City Council awarded a maintenance services agreement to Xanadu Service Systems (formerly Valley Maintenance Services, Inc.) for janitorial services at all City facilities for a period of four years starting on June 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2026, with an option to extend the contract term by one additional year (Attachment 2). Staff is seeking Council approval to amend the agreement to incorporate routine cleaning of the Parking Structure C elevator into the scope of work; increase daily porter coverage by three (3) additional hours; and extend the agreement term for one (1) additional year at updated rates with an added contingency to cover as-needed janitorial needs. Background: Page 284 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4 Xanadu Service Systems (formerly Valley Maintenance Services, Inc., see Attachment 3) has provided janitorial services for all City facilities since June 1, 2022. Following a competitive solicitation process that was publicly advertised on April 21, 2022, Xanadu was awarded a contract by City Council at the May 24, 2022, meeting for a four-year period, starting on June 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2026, with an option to extend the contract term by one additional year. The contract was amended in May 2022, to incorporate the cleaning of two classrooms at the South Park Building at 1645 Valley Drive into the scope of work (Attachment 4). During the contract period, staff has identified additional service needs, requiring minor modification to the current contract scope, including adjustments to the Parking Structure C elevator cleaning and the City’s daily porter services. The proposed second amendment modifies the agreement to incorporate these expanded services during FY 25-26 and extends the contract term to June 30, 2027 with updated contract rates for FY 26-27. Past Council Action Meeting Date Description May 24, 2022 Award contract for Janitorial Services Discussion: The proposed contract amendment adds more structured and enhanced cleaning of the Parking Structure C elevator. The cleaning of the elevator is currently provided by Athen’s Services. The elevator generally experiences a high level of public use, and service requests, which has impacted the City’s maintenance and operations team responding to requests. The elevator is being completely refurbished as part of Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project 699 and staff is recommending transferring the responsibility of elevator cleaning to the City’s janitorial services contractor to better align cleaning expertise with the required cleaning needs for the new elevator once it is re -opened, which is anticipated in late March 2026. The new scope of work would include regular disinfection of high tough areas (e.g., buttons, rails), floors, doors, tracks, sills, walls, and general surfaces, quarterly deep cleaning, and sweeping of the adjacent walkway near the elevator entrance. Cleaning will be completed using non-abrasive cleaners, microfiber clothes and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered vacuums with special care for electronics and finishes to prevent damage to the newly renovated elevator. Establishing a defined service schedule enhances sanitation, improves the overall public presentation of the facility, and supports long-term preservation within a highly visible and heavily utilized City asset. If approved by Council, services would begin as soon as the elevator is re-opened for services upon completion of CIP 699, anticipated in late March 2026. The cost for these services will be prorated for the month based on the start date. The proposed contract amendment also increases daily porter service coverage by three (3) additional hours to better align custodial operations with current facility usage levels. The existing contract with Xanadu has a provision to provide a “day person” from 8 AM – Page 285 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4 2 PM, Monday through Sunday, for “porter services” that are intended for as -needed services during normal operating hours as well as ensuring high-traffic areas are well maintained. Staff has experienced a gap in service from 2 PM until the evening service begins, typically at 7 PM, particularly at the Community Center, which is experiencing a high volume of visitors and programmed events. These additional services are being offered at a rate of $35 per hour, which will increase the monthly cost by $3,150. Expanded porter coverage will improve responsiveness during peak activity periods, particularly at the Community Center, and allow for more frequent restroom monitoring and restocking, and ensure timely attention to spills or sanitation concerns ; these improvements will also reduce requests to the City’s Public Works Operations and Maintenance team that are currently responding to issues. Maintaining adequate custodial presence throughout operating hours is critical to preserving public health standards and ensuring that City facilities remain clean, safe, and welcoming for residents and visitors. These expanded services will be implemented immediately upon City Council approval and execution of the amendment to reduce service gaps and provide an enhanced level of service to meet current demand. The cost for these services will be prorated for the month based on the start date. The current agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2026. The amendment extends the Agreement for one (1) additional year with updated rates to reflect current market conditions for labor costs to provide services. Staff solicited updated rates from Xanadu Service Systems for the new fiscal year and negotiated a price increase capped at 3.5%, for the current scope of work, which is consistent with the consumer price index (CPI). The rates for the extended porter service and Parking Structure C will remain unchanged from March 2026 through the end of the agreement on June 30, 2027. Xanadu Service Systems has demonstrated satisfactory performance under the existing agreement and staff recommends Council approve extending the term one additional year. Extending the term provides service continuity, avoids potential disruption associated with rebidding, and allows the City to maintain established custodial standards while continuing to evaluate long-term service delivery strategies. The amendment also includes a contingency increase to $15,000 to provide the City flexibility to address unforeseen or supplemental custodial service needs that may arise during the extended term without requiring additional Council action. Staff intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for janitorial services in the new fiscal year covering services starting in FY 27-28. Environmental Analysis: The proposed action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5), as it consists of administrative activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The amendment pertains to ongoing custodial services within existing facilities. Fiscal Impact: Page 286 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4 For the current FY 2025-26, the second amendment increases the annual contract amount by $15,520 to account for the addition of parking structure elevator cleaning services and the three-hour increase in daily porter coverage which is anticipated to begin this March 2026 month. The amended monthly service cost with the additional service would be $18,497 per month. Staff will transfer $15,520 from available budgeted prospective expenditures to the Building Maintenance budget for the additional services. The second amendment also extends the service contract one more year for Fiscal Year 2026-27. Starting in July 2026, the cost of services will increase from $18,497 per month to $19,009 per month for a total contract cost of $228,103. In addition, staff is seeking Council approval of a $15,000 contingency to cover as needed emergency cleaning services for a total of $243,103. Staff will budget the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026-27 extension year service cost as part of the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.

This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company. 7.2.4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents. 7.2.5.

Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement. 7.5. Failure to Procure Insurance. Failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2 above. 7.6. Nonpayment of Deductible. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONTRACTOR as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR or deductible on CONTRACTOR’S behalf upon the CONTRACTOR’S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured Page 394 of 1021 Page 7 of 18 under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONTRACTOR for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by City due to the breach. 8.

The CONTRACTOR shall not subcontract any portion of the work to be performed under this Agreement without the written authorization of the CITY. If the CITY consents to such subcontract, the CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to the CITY for all acts or omissions of the subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the CITY and subcontractor nor shall it create any obligation on the part of the CITY to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to any such subcontractor other than as otherwise is required by law. 9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, CODES, ORDINANCES, AND REGULATIONS. The CONTRACTOR shall use the standard of care in its profession to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations. 9.1. Taxes. The CONTRACTOR agrees to pay all required taxes on amounts paid to the CONTRACTOR under this Agreement, and to indemnify and hold the CITY harmless from any and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against the CITY by reason of the independent contractor relationship created by this Agreement. In the event that the CITY is audited by any Federal or State agency regarding the independent contractor status of the CONTRACTOR and the audit in any way fails to sustain the validity of a wholly independent contractor relationship between the CITY and the CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR agrees to reimburse the CITY for all costs, including accounting and attorneys’ fees, arising out of such audit and any appeals relating thereto. 9.2. Workers’ Compensation Law. The CONTRACTOR shall fully comply with the workers’ compensation law regarding the CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR’s employees.

Page 430 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 2 Meeting Date: March 10, 2026 Staff Report No. 26-PR-005 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH THE ARC SOUTH BAY FOR USE OF COMMUNITY CENTER ROOMS 15 AND 17 (Parks and Recreation Director Lisa Nichols) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Consider approval of a lease agreement (Attachment 1) with The Arc South Bay for use of the Community Center rooms 15 and 17 beginning April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 with the option, at staff’s discretion, to extend for two additional one-year terms; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute and the City Clerk to attest, subject to approval by the City Attorney. Executive Summary: For more than 30 years, The Arc South Bay (Arc) has leased space within the Community Center to provide programs and services that promote and protect the human rights of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Arc’s current lease agreement for Rooms 15 and 17 is set to expire on March 31, 2026. Arc has requested renewal of the agreement to continue its longstanding partnership with the City and maintain uninterrupted services to its program participants. Background: Historically, staff has administratively processed lease renewals for Arc’s use of Rooms 15 and 17 at the Community Center. In an effort to align with the City’s current practice for renewing facility use agreements with other organizations, staff is bringing this renewal forward for City Council review and consideration. Council approval of the agreement will ensure consistency in process and transparency in the renewal of long-term facility use agreements. Discussion: Staff worked with the organization to develop mutually agreeable terms for a new one- year agreement, with the option to renew for two additional one -year terms, beginning April 1, 2026. The proposed new agreement maintains the terms of the prior agreement Page 431 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 2 with minor formatting and language updates, which do not impact the management or operation of the league. Fiscal Impact: If the proposed lease agreement is approved, Arc will be responsible for paying $2 ,116.80 monthly, in accordance with the City’s annual Master Fee Schedule subject to applicable annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments. The City is expected to earn approximately $25,402 in lease revenue annually from the duration of the agreement.

Executive Summary: The City of Hermosa Beach regularly expresses its support or opposition regarding legislative matters that would have an impact on the City. As requested by the City Council at its January 27, 2026 meeting, staff presents the following item for considerati on to provide a letter for support for Senate Bill 84 Disability Access: Construction -Related Accessibility Claims: Notice of Violation and Opportunity to Correct. Background: Senate Bill 84 (SB-84), was introduced on January 17, 2025, by Senator Niello, and aims to strike a balance of preserving the rights of individuals with disabilities while offering small businesses a fair opportunity to address violations before facing lawsuits. This bill would prohibit a construction-related accessibility claim for statutory damages from being initiated in a legal proceeding against a defendant who employs 50 or fewer individuals, unless the defendant has been served with a letter specifying each alleged violation, and the alleged violations have not been corrected within 120 days of service of the letter. The bill would provide that a defendant is not liable for statutory damages, plaintiff’s attorneys fees, or costs for an alleged violation that is corrected within 120 days of service of a letter alleging the violation. The bill would also prohibit a plaintiff from avoiding the notice and opportunity to correct provisions and the liability limitations by claiming they are seeking general discrimination damages based on a violation of th e Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 if the underlying claim is based on a defendant’s failure to comply with physical accessibility standards under California law. Page 444 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 2 Past Council Action Meeting Date Description January 27, 2026 Mayor Rob Saemann requested, and Councilmembers Francois and Keegan supported a future agenda item to provide a letter of support for Senate Bill 84. Analysis: SB-84 seeks to amend Section 55.56 of the California Civil Code, which governs statutory damages in accessibility claims. The bill introduces a procedural safeguard for businesses employing 50 or fewer individuals: a mandatory notice -and-cure period. Under the proposed law: 1. Notice Requirement: A plaintiff cannot initiate a legal proceeding for statutory damages of a construction related accessibility claim unless they first serve t he defendant with a letter detailing each alleged violation. 2. 120-Day Cure Period: The defendant then has 120 days from the date of service to correct the violations. If the issues are resolved within this timeframe, the defendant avoids liability for statutory damages, attorney’s fees, and costs. 3. Scope Limitation: This protection applies only to businesses with 50 or fewer employees, either at the time the letter is received or during the prior three years. Additionally, SB-84 closes a potential loophole whereby a potential plaintiff tries to sidestep the notice requirement by framing their claims as general discrimination violations under the ADA rather than construction-related accessibility claims. The bill explicitly prohibits this tactic if the underlying issue stems from noncompliance with California’s physical accessibility standards. The bill is currently in the 2nd House awaiting to be heard. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Attachment: Letter of Support for Senate Bill 84 Respectfully Submitted by: Sara Russo, Senior Management Analyst Approved: Steve Napolitano, City Manager Page 445 of 1021 City Council 1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 | hermosabeach.gov | HermosaBchCity HermosaBeachCity March 10, 2026 The Honorable Roger Niello California State Senate 1021 O Street, Room 7110 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Support for SB 84 (Niello)-Disability Access: Construction-Related Accessibility Claims: Notice of Violation and Opportunity to Correct Senator Niello: On behalf of the City of Hermosa Beach, the City supports SB 84, which will encourage small businesses to fully address construction-related accessibility claims with 120 days of being notified of alleged violations. SB 84 would prohibit a construction-related accessibility claim for statutory damages from being initiated in a legal proceeding against a defendant who employs 50 or fewer individuals, as specified, unless the defendant has been served with a letter specifying each alleged violation, and the alleged violations have not been corrected within 120 days of service of the letter. Granting small businesses, the “right to cure” allows them to use their limited time and resources to focus n fixing alleged violations, instead of complicated legal proceedings. When small businesses are forced to close to pay legal fees and settlements, everybody loses. Prioritizing compliance in a timely and effective manner balances the City’s goals to expand accessibility and ensure small businesses can thrive. Unfortunately, many small businesses are targeted by attorneys who prioritize large settlements over ensuring accessibility. If the violations outlined in the letter to the businesses are not addressed appropriately with 120 days, a plaintiff would still have the right to pursue legal action and advocate for their rights as guaranteed under the Americans with Disabilities Act. For these reasons, the City supports SB 84. Sincerely, Michael Detoy Mayor cc: Senator Ben Allen, Senate District 24 Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, Assembly District 66 Page 446 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 4 Meeting Date: March 10, 2026 Staff Report No. 26-CMO-002 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council APPROVE A CONTRACT TO GEOSYNTEC FOR PROFESSIONAL STORMWATER CONSULTING SERVICES (Environmental Programs Manager Doug Krauss) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Geosyntec Consultants to develop a feasibility study for a dry well project at a not to exceed amount of $65,000 for a term of two years ending January 13, 2028, with an option to extend one year (Attachment 1); and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed agreements, and approve minor modifications if necessary, with the City Clerk attesting the proposed agreements and subject to approval by the City Attorney. Executive Summary: This agreement with Geosyntec Consultants would provide for the development of a feasibility study and application for Safe Clean Water (SCW) funding for a project to reduce storm water discharge in the Herondo Watershed area of Hermosa Beach. The project, CIP 438 Stormwater Dry Wells, is required per the City’s Watershed Management Plan (WMP), approved by the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board). Failure to complete the project would likely result in significant fines and increased regulatory oversight. Staff recommends approval of an agreement with Geosyntec as they are uniquely qualified for and familiar with the project and are concurrently working with Redondo Beach on a similar project with which Hermosa Beach can join to improve financi al viability. The agreement amount of $65,000 includes development of the feasibility study and other necessary application materials for SCW funding and will be funded from allocated storm drain funds (Attachment 1). Background: The cities of Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District formed the Beach Cities Group to develop a Watershed Management Plan (WMP) to comply with the Water Board’s 2012 MS4 Permit. Page 447 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4 The Beach Cities Group entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cost share the development of the WMP and a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan (CIMP) in 2013 which was updates in 2023 (Attachment 2). The Beach Cities WMP was submitted to the Water Board and was approved by the Executive Officer of the Water Board via a letter dated April 18, 2016 (Attachment 3). The Beach Cities Group was directed by the Executive Officer of the Regional Board to begin implementation of the WMP immediately, including construction of identified capital projects. At its October 27, 2020 meeting, City Council approved a MOU between the Beach Cities Watershed group to update the WMP, for which the City of Redondo Beach served as lead. The MOU included the City’s cost towards its share of the EW MP update, as well as the City’s contribution to help fund feasibility studies after the cancellation of the Greenbelt Infiltration project in 2019. The Greenbelt Project was designed to accomplish pollutant reduction targets that would have helped all aff ected agencies meet their respective requirements but was cancelled by City Council due to objections by community members living in the vicinity of the proposed project. In addition to its many other components, the WMP update identifies regional stormwater projects to ensure the group meets the pollutant reduction goals outlined in the existing WMP. The City of Hermosa Beach and its Beach Cities Group partners have identified alternate projects to achieve stormwater diversion and pollution reductions equivalent to what would have been achieved by the cancelled Hermosa Greenbelt Infiltration Project. The search for alternative projects involved reanalyzing existing concepts and researching new projects throughout the area with the goal of combining multiple smaller projects to achieve compliance goals. The updated WMP identified the installation of dry wells in the southern part of the City to capture sufficient storm water volumes. Additionally, a formal request for a time extension on pollutant reduction goals has been submitted by the Beach Cities Group to the Water Board which, if approved, would extend the City’s compliance deadline to 2028. Should this extension be approved, the agencies would be required to expedite completion of their respective identified projects or face significant penalties by the Water Board and possible lawsuits by third parties.

Dry wells are more cost effective and logistically manageable than a large regional infiltration project and allow much greater flexibility for siting. For comparison, the capital projects identified in the City’s original EMWP had a total estimated cost range of $12.5 - 27 million (Greenbelt Infiltration Project and distributed green streets) while this EWMP update estimates $6.5 – 8 million in capital project costs (for the proposed dry wells and Hermosa Avenue Green Streets projects). Dry wells proposed for this project could potentially provide the storm water capture necessary (in conjunction with projects in our partner cities) to meet the mandates of the MS4 permit. Geosyntec has completed a pre-feasibility study for the dry well project and identified potential locations east of Pacific Coast Highway (Attachment 4). Staff is assessing alternate locations near Bicentennial Park and South Park that may reduce the total number of dry wells and consequently the estimated project cost. The City of Redondo Beach has a similarly-scoped dry well project identified to help it meet its storm water pollutant reduction mandates. Staff from both cities have been in discussion on possible partnership for project design and SCW funding application to be submitted in Spring 2026. Partnering with Redondo Beach would improve cost effectiveness and make the grant application more viable and attractive. Should the City be unsuccessful in securing grant funds, staff is considering a project of reduced scope that will achieve partial pollutant reduction goals and demonstrate a good faith effort towards eventual compliance. Staff is recommending this agreement as a “sole-source” exception under Section 3.12.070 of the Municipal Code due to Geosyntec’s familiarity with the project and the City’s compliance needs. Additionally, Geosyntec has prepared the pre-feasibility study for the project and is currently working with Redondo Beach on design of their similar dry well project, in anticipation of a partnership with Hermosa Beach. Staff is comfortab le that Geosyntec’s cost proposal is fair and reasonable. Staff will work with Geosyntec to host informative presentations for the community and commissions to educate and raise Page 449 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4 awareness of the project and its importance. Geosyntec’s cost proposal reflects additional capacity for such outreach efforts. Geosyntec is well-regarded in the storm water field and also performs mandated storm water monitoring for the Beach Cities Group. Fiscal Impact: The total cost for the dry well feasibility study is not-to-exceed $65,000. Staff will use budgeted CIP 438 Stormwater Dry Wells Assessment funds for the study. This contract will position the City to be able to apply for grant funds for the eventual project construction which is currently estimated to be between $4-8 million.

Failure by City to deduct any sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City’s right to such sums. The City may keep any moneys which would otherwise be payable at any time hereunder and apply the same, or so much as may be necessary therefor, to the payment of any expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City for which Designer is liable under the Agreement or state law. Payments to the Designer for compensation and reimbursable expenses due shall not be contingent on the construction, completion or ultimate success of the Project. Payment to the Designer shall not be withheld, postponed, or made contingent upon receipt by the City of offsetting reimbursement or credit from parties not within the Designer’s reasonable control. 3.10.6 Prevailing Wages. Designer is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on certain “public works” and “maintenance” projects.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above. CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH APPROVED BY: Steve Napolitano City Manager Attested By: [_______] Interim City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Jason Baltimore Interim City Attorney GEOSYNTEC CONSULTANTS, INC. Chris Wessel Vice President Page 475 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach EXHIBIT “A” DESIGNER’S SCOPE OF SERVICES January 6, 2025 Mr. Douglas Krauss, Environmental Programs Manager City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Dr. Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 5901 West Century Blvd. Ste 1450 Los Angeles, 90045 PH 310.957.6100 www.geosyntec.com Subject: Proposal to Provide a Joint Feasibility Study for a Safe Clean Water Joint Green Streets Project Dear Mr. Krauss: At the request of the City of Hermosa Beach, Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare a joint Feasibility Study under the Safe Clean Water Regional Program for a joint Herondo Green Streets project (Project) with the City of Redondo Beach. Project Understanding As part of the updated 2021 Beach Cities Watershed Management Program (WMP), drywell projects were recommended to meet compliance for the cities within the Herondo Drain Subwatershed. These drywell projects were identified as being a necessary component in meeting the target load reductions for bacteria in the Santa Monica Bay Watershed Area. Following completion of the WMP in 2023, Geosyntec conducted additional screening for each of the identified drywell projects included in the WMP. The work completed includes a desktop environmental, geotechnical, utility screening and preliminarily identified a number of optimal locations where drywells could be placed to ensure meeting the water quality targets described in the WMP. The Project will incorporate all of the drywell locations identified in the Herondo Drain Subwatershed which includes locations in both the Cities of Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach (collectively the “Cities”). Due to the close vicinity of the locations, drainage area to the same outfall (Herondo), and consistency in scope, hydraulic modeling, design, construction, and outreach efforts needed for the Project, it is in the best interest of the Cities to pool resources and prepare a joint feasibility study together, splitting the costs evenly at this preliminary design stage. Completing the hydrology analysis on a larger subwatershed area also increases efficiency and ensures maximum water quality benefits will be attained. Utilizing the screening analysis completed, Geosyntec proposes to prepare a joint Page 476 of 1021 Mr. Doug Krauss November 6, 2025 Page 2 Feasibility Study for the City to include in their joint application to the Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP) to secure funding to complete the design phase of the Project. SCOPE OF WORK The Geosyntec Team will prepare a joint Feasibility Study for the Project to be submitted to the SCW Regional Program. The Study will include necessary components to meet the criteria outlined by the SCW Program, with input from the Cities, the Cities’ MS4 Consultant(s), and other shareholders identified through this project phase. It is assumed that the Feasibility Study will be submitted in July 2025. Task 1 – Project Management and Outreach Geosyntec will provide the following project management and coordination services for the duration of the Project: One (1) one-hour virtual kickoff meeting with the Cities Four (4) one-hour virtual check-in meetings with the Cities Routine coordination and communication with the Project team, including the Cities Management of schedule and budget Development and submission of invoices Geosyntec will also attend up to five (5) meetings in support of outreach with the City of Hermosa Beach. Meetings attendance will include presentation material, as requested by the City. Task 2 – Background Research, Surveying, and Field Verification Geosyntec will review available record drawings, previous reports and studies, and other information available from the Cities immediately following the Project kick-off. The following research and investigations will be performed: One site visit with Cities representatives; Conduct utility search - collect and review available record drawings of underground utilities for additional Project locations that are not covered in the previous studies. Review the following documents and utilize the standards as applicable for this project: o City Standard Plans o County of Los Angeles Hydrology Manual 2006 o Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, “Green Book” o Additions and Amendments to the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, “Brown Book” Page 477 of 1021 Mr. Doug Krauss November 6, 2025 Page 3 Provide a Summary of Site Conditions and Constraints, summarizing the findings from the background research. Task 3 – Hydrology and Hydraulics Study Geosyntec will perform hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) calculations and modeling to support Project design and justify the water quality and water supply benefits. The study will summarize the approach and results of the following: Drainage area delineations Peak flow and run-off volume calculations for the Design Storm and 85th Percentile, 24-hour Storm, using HydroCalc Long-term Pollutant load reduction calculations, using WMMS and SCWP Project Module SCWP Water Quality and Water Supply Scoring Analyses One draft and one final H&H study technical memorandum will be submitted to the Cities. Task 4 – Feasibility Study Report Geosyntec will prepare a draft and final Feasibility Study that meets the requirements set forth in the latest SCWP Feasibility Study Guidelines. A preliminary design effort will be taken and incorporated into the final Feasibility Study. Additional documentation and evaluation will be developed for the preferred alternative and attached to the Feasibility Study, including: Identification and conceptualization of additional green infrastructure features to supplement the drywells 10% design set (Site plan and BMP details) Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) Project Description CEQA Screening Checklist Develop a community outreach and engagement plan, which identifies key stakeholders and agencies. Subtask will include a digital copy of the draft Feasibility Study to be submitted for one round of comments, and a digital copy of the final Feasibility Study with documented responses to comments. Up to two meetings will be held to review the Feasibility Study findings and feedback from the Cities. Page 478 of 1021 Mr. Doug Krauss November 6, 2025 Page 4 Task 5 – SCWP Module Submission and Meeting Support Geosyntec will generate a Project fact sheet in accordance with the SCWP template and complete the SCW Module for the Project based on the final Feasibility Study. Completion of the module will include filling required entries and uploading supporting documentation. A draft module output will be provided to the Cities 20 days prior to the SCWP application deadline (July 31st, 2025). Geosyntec will address changes to the module and produce a final module output for client approval 5 days prior to the SCWP application deadline. Once approval is received, Geosyntec will submit the SCWP application. Geosyntec will assist in modifying the application entries and supporting documents should comments be received from the SCWP. Geosyntec will support the Cities and participate in up to two (2) virtual and two (2) in-person calls and meetings, including the Scoring Committee and South Santa Monica Bay Watershed Area Steering Committee meetings. Geosyntec will prepare one PowerPoint presentation based on the SWCP template. CLOSURE We are looking forward to working with the City on this important Project.

Assumption and Exclusions The following assumptions and exclusions apply to the Project as scoped: Geosyntec anticipates that Los Angeles County will revise the SCWP application guideline, which will separate the current application process into two: A design funding- only application process and a construction funding application process. Since the County has not published the revised application guideline. The scope of work reflects our anticipated requirement for the design funding-only Page 481 of 1021 application. We will discuss with the Cities if the revised application guideline requires additional elements that are not covered in the scope work provided herein. It is assumed that the Cities will coordinate with the shareholders and agencies directly to obtain letters of support, if such items are required for a design funding only SCWP Application. Geosyntec will rely on the work completed to-date for the Project, including the initial Project screening, desktop environmental and geotechnical study that Geosyntec completed in 2023. Unless otherwise specified, all deliverables will be provided electronically. Unless otherwise specified, meetings will occur virtually Page 482 of 1021 Page 483 of 1021 2kPage 484 of 1021 Page 485 of 1021 Page 486 of 1021 Page 487 of 1021 Page 488 of 1021 Page 489 of 1021 Page 490 of 1021 Page 491 of 1021 Page 492 of 1021 Page 493 of 1021 Page 494 of 1021 Page 495 of 1021 Page 496 of 1021 Page 497 of 1021 Page 498 of 1021 Page 499 of 1021 Page 500 of 1021 Page 501 of 1021 ENHANCED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (EWMP) for the Beach Cities Watershed Management Area (Santa Monica Bay and Dominguez Channel Watersheds) Submitted to: Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board Submitted by: Beach Cities EWMP Group March 2018 Page 502 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Table of Contents i | Page 2018 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary .......................................................................................................................................................

The Machado Lake Watershed is being addressed separately by the City of Torrance, and is not addressed in this EWMP. This EWMP is intended to facilitate effective, watershed-specific Permit implementation strategies in accordance with Permit Part VI.C. Watershed Management Program. This EWMP: • Summarizes watershed-specific water quality priorities identified by the Beach Cities WMG; • Outlines the program plan, including specific strategies, control measures and best management practices (BMPs)2 , necessary to achieve water quality targets (Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations [WQBELs] and Receiving Water Limitations [RWLs]); and • Describes the quantitative analyses completed to support target achievement and Permit compliance. In compliance with Section VI.C.4.b of the Permit, the Beach Cities WMG submitted to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) a Notice of Intent (NOI) (Appendix A) to develop an EWMP on June 28, 2013, with a revised NOI submitted December 17, 2013 in response to comments received from LARWQCB staff. On March 27, 2014, the Beach Cities WMG received a letter from the Executive Officer of the LARWQCB approving the revised NOI submittal. In compliance with Section VI.C.4.c.iv of the Permit, the Beach Cities WMG then submitted a draft EWMP Work Plan to the LARWQCB on June 26, 2014. LARWQCB comments were not received on the EWMP Work Plan; therefore work proceeded on EWMP development consistent with the approach outlined in the EWMP Work Plan. The Beach Cities WMG was required by Section VI.C.4.c.iv of the Permit to submit a draft EWMP no later than June 30, 2015. This document has been developed to serve as the Beach Cities Draft EWMP and is consistent with the Work Plan previously submitted to the LARWQCB. Watershed Management Programs (WMPs) are a voluntary opportunity afforded by Section VI.C.1 of the Permit for Permittees to collaboratively or individually develop comprehensive watershed- 1 Order No. R4-2012-0175 NPDES Permit No. CAS004001 Waste Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4. 2 For simplification, the term “BMP” will be used to collectively refer to strategies, control measures, and/or best management practices. The Permit also refers to these measures as Watershed Control Measures. Page 514 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-2 | Page 2018 specific control plans and are intended to facilitate Permit compliance and water quality target achievement. Enhanced WMPs (EWMPS) are WMPs which comprehensively evaluate opportunities for collaboration on multi-benefit regional projects that retain all non-stormwater runoff and runoff from the 85th percentile, 24 hour storm event while also achieving benefits associated with issues such as flood control and water supply. Where it is not feasible for regional projects to retain the 85th percentile 24 hour storm, the EWMP must demonstrate through a Reasonable Assurance Analysis, that applicable water quality targets should be achieved. Permittees within the Beach Cities Watershed Management Area (WMA) have elected to prepare an EWMP. The EWMP allows Permittees to collaboratively or individually develop comprehensive watershed-specific control plans which a) prioritize water quality issues, b) identify and implement focused strategies, control measures and BMPs, c) execute an integrated monitoring and assessment program, and d) allow for modification over time. In general, WMPs and EWMPs are intended to facilitate Permit compliance and water quality target achievement and goals that: 1) discharges from covered MS4s achieve applicable WQBELs and RWLs and do not include prohibited non-stormwater discharges; and 2) control measures are implemented to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). Per Permit Section VI.C.1.e, WMPs and EWMPs are to be developed based on the LARWQCB’s WMAs or subwatersheds thereof. Consistent with Permit requirements, this EWMP is written to: 1. Be consistent with Permit provisions for EWMPs in Part VI.C.1.a.-f and Part VI.C.5-C.8; 2. Incorporate applicable State agency input on priority setting and other key implementation issues; 3. Provide for meeting water quality standards and other Clean Water Act obligations; 4. Include multi-benefit regional projects which retain stormwater from the 85th percentile 24 hour storm where feasible; 5. Include watershed control measures which achieve compliance with all interim and final WQBELs in drainage areas where retention of the 85th percentile 24 hour storm is infeasible with reasonable assurance; 6. Maximize the effectiveness of funding; 7. Incorporate effective innovative technologies; 8. Ensure existing requirements to comply with technology based effluent limitations and core requirements are not delayed; and 9. Ensure a financial strategy is in place. This EWMP is applicable to the Beach Cities WMG EWMP Area, which consists of all of the incorporated MS4 areas of the cities of Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Torrance (excluding the Machado Lake Watershed) and includes the infrastructure of the LACFCD within those jurisdictions (Figure ES-1). This area includes portions of two distinct HUC-12 Page 515 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-3 | Page 2018 watersheds 3, Santa Monica Bay Watershed and Dominguez Channel Watershed, as summarized in Table ES-1. The Wylie Sump, Bishop Montgomery Basin, and Ocean Basin are all retention basins with no outlet. Therefore, their drainage areas have been excluded from the EWMP Reasonable Assurance Analysis (RAA). The Del Amo Retention Basin also has no outlet, and is sized to capture runoff from at least the 85th percentile, 24 hour storm event. Because the Del Amo Retention Basin is within the Machado Lake Watershed, this drainage area is excluded from the EWMP. • The western portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area consists of approximately 7,840 acres of land that drains to Santa Monica Bay (SMB). This accounts for 52% of the total Beach Cities WMG area, and includes portions of the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance, and the entirety of the City of Hermosa Beach. This portion of the study area is hereinafter referred to as the “SMB Watershed”. • The northeastern portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area is tributary to Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Carson Channel) and is comprised of approximately 7,380 acres of land. This watershed accounts for 48% of the total Beach Cities EWMP Area, and includes portions of the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. Storm drains from the Cities of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach drain through the City of Lawndale before discharging to Dominguez Channel. The City of Torrance’s MS4 discharges directly to Dominguez Channel and Torrance Carson Channel (Torrance Lateral). Collectively, this portion of the study area is hereinafter referred to as the “Dominguez Channel Watershed”. Table ES-1.

The individual water quality targets, BMPs, Reasonable Assurance Analyses, schedules, and costs for each of the watersheds are summarized in watershed-specific sections that follow. 3 A HUC-12 watershed is defined by a 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) delineation, which identifies the watershed area based on six levels of classification: regional, sub-region, hydrologic basin, hydrologic sub-basin, watershed, and subwatershed. Page 516 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-4 | Page 2018 SANTA MONICA BAY WATERSHED Receiving waters for stormwater runoff from the Beach Cities EWMP Area were screened for water quality priorities by reviewing Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), the State’s 303(d) list, and additional water quality data. Each identified water quality priority for a given receiving water body was categorized as a water body-pollutant combination. Water body-pollutant combinations were classified into one of three categories, in accordance with Section VI.C.5(a).ii of the Permit. Table ES-2 presents the prioritized water body-pollutant combinations within the SMB Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area. Water body-pollutant combinations categorized below are subject to change based on future data collected as part of the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) or other monitoring program.

Bacteria targets are summarized in Table ES-3. Trash was not modeled as part of the Reasonable Assurance Analysis; instead, the Reasonable Assurance Analysis describes how the Beach Cities WMG Agencies will comply with the TMDL through their Trash Monitoring and Reporting Programs which are aimed at meeting the zero trash discharge definition in the TMDL (see Section 2.2.2 herein). The MS4 compliance targets for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes (DDTs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) established in the Santa Monica Bay DDT & PCB TMDL were based on the assumption that the existing stormwater pollutant loads for DDT and PCBs were equal to or lower than what was needed to protect the Santa Monica Bay from these legacy pollutants (i.e., based on data used in the TMDL, no MS4 pollutant load reduction is expected to be required to demonstrate compliance with the TMDL). Therefore, it is assumed that no reductions in DDT and PCB loading from the Beach Cities WMG MS4s are required to meet the TMDL and reasonable assurance of compliance is assumed to be demonstrated without modeling. Monitoring of these pollutants will occur under the Beach Cities CIMP. Once three years of water quality data are collected, further source assessment will be considered and the categorization and prioritization of PCBs and DDT as MS4-related pollutants of concern will be reevaluated. If the CIMP monitoring data show that Beach Cities discharges are not in compliance with the TMDL, an RAA will be conducted for these pollutants and the EWMP will be revised accordingly.

The baseline load for “BCSump” analysis region was combined with the baseline load of the “SMB-6-01” analysis region to equal the total baseline load contributing to the SMB-6-01 CML (“SMB-6-01+BCSump”). 4 The drainage area to Outfall SMB-O-07 is encompassed by analysis region SMB-6-02; therefore SMB-O-07 was analyzed as part of analysis region SMB-6-02. 5 The average pollutant concentration is estimated as the total pollutant load divided by total runoff volume. 6 RAA demonstration is made based on the achievement of the TLR values in terms of absolute load removed by the proposed suite of BMPs in each analysis region. The allowed conditions in terms of runoff volume and concentration are shown for informational purposes only. Page 524 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-12 | Page 2018 Nine CMLs were assigned zero TLRs to reflect their historic good water quality (consistent with anti-degradation-based wet weather allowable exceedance days). Although the SMBBB TMDL requires only the maintaining of beach water quality at anti-degradation compliance locations, the Beach Cities EWMP will seek to implement nonstructural and Low Impact Development (LID)-based BMPs within the SMB portion of their EWMP area; this will further protect and potentially improve water quality at these beaches and is consistent with the Jurisdictional Group 5 and 6 (J5&6) Implementation Plan (Geosyntec Consultants, 2011). BMPs – Santa Monica Bay EWMPs offer Permittees the opportunity to identify and implement focused strategies, control measures and BMPs to achieve applicable water quality targets (WQBELs and RWLs) and to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. In order to demonstrate reasonable assurance, BMPs were identified and prioritized. Prioritization was based on cost (low cost BMPs were prioritized); BMP effectiveness for the pollutants of concern (BMPs that had greater treatment efficiency for the specific pollutants of concern were prioritized); and implementation feasibility as determined by the Beach Cities agencies. In general, nonstructural (e.g., programmatic) BMPs were prioritized over structural BMPs due to their lower relative cost. The following is an overview of the types of BMPs contemplated in this EWMP within the Santa Monica Bay Watershed. Programmatic BMPs: These source controls include a combination of BMPs such as new or enhanced pet waste controls (ordinance, signage, education/outreach, mutt mitts, etc.), Clean Bay Restaurant Program, human waste source tracking and remediation (e.g., leaking sewer investigations including implementation of each agency’s Sanitary Sewer Management Plan consistent with Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements [WDRs], etc.), enhanced street sweeping (e.g., 100% vacuum sweepers, increased frequency, posting of ‘No Parking’ signs for street sweeping, etc.), increased catch basin and storm drain cleaning, and other new or enhanced nonstructural BMPs that target the pollutants addressed in this EWMP. Public Retrofit Incentives: These BMPs include programs directed at incentivizing the public to decrease the amount of stormwater runoff from their property, specifically via downspout disconnection programs that redirect roof runoff to vegetated or otherwise pervious areas. Redevelopment: Beginning in 2001, redevelopment projects were required by the Permit (via the Standard Urban Stormwater Management Program [SUSMP]) to incorporate stormwater treatment BMPs into their projects if their project size exceeded specified thresholds. The 2001 MS4 Permit SUSMP redevelopment requirements were applied between 2003 (the point at which the Bacteria TMDL was implemented) and 2015 for the SMB EWMP area. Additionally, the 2012 MS4 Permit established new criteria for redevelopment projects, requiring certain sized projects to capture, retain, or infiltrate the 85th percentile design storm or the 0.75-inch design storm, whichever is greater, via the implementation of LID BMPs. These were taken into account as well. Non-MS4 Permitted Parcels or Areas: In general, this BMP assumes that regulated parcels/areas would be in compliance with the NPDES Statewide Storm Water Permit Waste Discharge Page 525 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-13 | Page 2018 Requirements (WDRs) from State of California Department of Transportation (Order No. 2012-0011-DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000003) and the California NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities (Industrial General Permit [IGP], Order 2014-0057-DWQ). Structural BMPs: Both existing and proposed regional and distributed structural BMPs are included in this EWMP to address water quality targets in the SMB Watershed. Because bacteria were identified as the controlling pollutant of concern, infiltration BMPs were prioritized as they are most effective for addressing bacteria. General design criteria for proposed structural BMPs are summarized in Table ES-5. Table ES-5. Proposed Structural BMPs in the Santa Monica Bay Watershed Analysis Region Project Name1 Description Design Storage Volume (cu-ft) Tributary Area (acres) SMB-5-02 Manhattan Beach Infiltration Trench3 Located along the coast of Manhattan Beach, the sub-surface trench has a potential surface area of 2.2 ac, an average depth of 2.1 ft with a diversion rate of 160 cfs and an infiltration rate under the trench of 13 in/hr. 198,000 1,4752 SMB-5-02 Distributed Green Streets The distributed green streets, proposed to address runoff from 5% of single family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial land uses, are assumed to have 6 in of ponding, 1.5 ft of amended soil, 3 in of mulch, and an infiltration rate of 0.15 in/hr. 205,500 66 SMB-6-01 Hermosa Beach Infiltration Trench Located along the coast of Hermosa Beach, the sub-surface trench has a potential surface area of 0.2 ac, an average depth of 1.7 ft, a diversion flowrate of 25 cfs, and an infiltration rate of 12.5 in/hr. 13,300 2,0002 SMB-6-01 Hermosa Beach Greenbelt Infiltration3 Located in Hermosa Beach, between Valley Dr. and Ardmore Ave., the sub-surface trench has a potential surface area of 1.5 ac, an average depth of 5 ft, a diversion flowrate of 48 cfs, and an assumed infiltration rate of 12 in/hr. 319,000 1,8002 SMB-6-01 Park #3 Located northwest of Blossom Lane and 190th street, the sub-surface infiltration basin has a potential surface area of 0.4 ac, an average depth of 5ft , a diversion flowrate of 13 cfs, and an infiltration rate of 1 in/hr. 87,100 1,4302 SMB-6-01 Distributed Green Streets The distributed green streets, proposed to address runoff from 25% of single family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial land uses, are assumed to have 6 in of ponding, 1.5 ft of amended soil, 3 in of mulch, and an infiltration rate of 0.15 in/hr. 605,200 190 1 All projects listed in this table were modeled in the RAA and sized to collectively comply with the WQBELs and RWLs in combination with other existing and proposed structural and non-structural BMPs 2 This includes upstream BMPs and associated tributary drainage areas 3 Alternative project locations have also been identified Page 526 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-14 | Page 2018 Distributed green streets BMPs are proposed and were modeled as part of the Reasonable Assurance Analysis within select analysis regions, at analysis region-specific implementation levels (e.g., runoff from 14% of single family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial land uses would be treated by green streets BMPs). It should be noted that if at any time in the future, specific distributed green streets or regional/centralized BMPs are found to be infeasible for implementation, alternative BMPs or operational changes will be planned within the same subwatershed and within the same timeline, to meet an equivalent subwatershed load reduction. In addition, if monitoring data indicate that more easily implementable, alternative BMPs can provide equivalent (or superior) load reductions, these alternative BMPs may be implemented at the discretion of the WMG Agencies. The Beach Cities WMG will provide timely notification and project details to the Regional Board in the case of any project substitutions. Demonstration of Compliance – Santa Monica Bay To demonstrate wet weather compliance, a Reasonable Assurance Analysis was conducted in which the following steps were taken: 1. For each analysis region, develop TLRs for 90th percentile year based on Permit requirements and LARWQCB guidance; 2. Identify structural and non-structural BMPs that were either implemented after applicable TMDL effective dates or are planned for implementation in the future: a. Assume a load reduction for non-modeled non-structural (or programmatic) BMPs (five percent of baseline pollutant load); b. Calculate load reductions for public incentives for retrofits on private property (e.g., downspout disconnects) and redevelopment (e.g., low impact development requirements); c. Calculate load reductions attributable to anticipated new permit compliance activities of non-MS4 Permittees (e.g., Industrial General Permit holders and California Department of Transportation [Caltrans]); and d. Calculate load reductions for proposed regional BMPs that were identified in existing plans; 3. Compare total estimated load reduction for each analysis region with the TLRs; and 4. Meet the TLRs by backfilling the remaining load reduction with new regional or distributed green streets BMPs, and with green streets that address a certain percentage of specific developed land uses. Results of the Reasonable Assurance Analysis for each analysis region in the SMB watershed are presented in Table ES-6 below. The values provided correspond to the load reductions attributable to the BMP types following the applicable final and interim compliance deadlines. As shown, the final TLR is met in all SMB watershed analysis regions with varying applications of non-structural and regional BMPs. The interim 50% TLR is met through a combination of nonstructural and existing regional BMPs. Page 527 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-15 | Page 2018 For dry weather bacteria compliance, a qualitative analysis was conducted to show compliance at each of the CMLs. Many CMLs have an effective diversion such that they are consistently operational, well maintained, and sized to effectively eliminate discharges to the surf zone during year-round dry weather days. For the remaining smaller outfalls a systematic screening conducted in 2002 demonstrated that there was no discharge to the wave wash during summer dry weather from these storm drains. Rescreening of outfalls will be conducted as part of the Non-Stormwater Screening and Monitoring in the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program and will include both summer dry weather and winter dry weather screening. For the CMLs in the SMB Watershed that have anti-degradation based allowed exceedance days for both winter-dry and summer-dry weather, reasonable assurance is assumed to be demonstrated through the basis that the TMDL established their allowed exceedance days based on historic conditions (i.e., no water quality improvements were necessary).

For the purposes of the dry weather Reasonable Assurance Analysis for which bacteria are the only water body-pollutant combination, the EWMP area draining to Dominguez Channel was combined into the same single analysis region. The Dominguez Channel watershed analysis regions are shown in Figure ES-4. The wet weather Reasonable Assurance Analysis was performed on copper, lead, zinc, and bacteria (fecal coliform) within the Dominguez Channel Watershed. Water quality targets were identified for Dominguez Channel Watershed in the same manner as in SMB Watershed. According to the Dominguez Channel WMA EWMP (DC WMG, 2015), relationships between TSS and historical organics were evaluated to determine if TSS could be used as a surrogate for historical organics. As there were significant non-detects in the available water quality data, a relationship between historic organics and TSS could not be established in the available Dominguez Channel monitoring data. Other studies have shown that relationship between TSS and historical organics can exist; however, the water quality depends on the storm event, soil disturbance, and other factors. It was assumed that if water column pollutant targets were met in Dominguez Channel, the targets would also be met downstream in the Dominguez Channel Estuary, which is the receiving water to Dominguez Channel. Sediment-borne pollutants would also be reduced by the same BMPs that are being used to address the water column pollutants. For these reasons, it was not necessary to perform a separate Reasonable Assurance Analysis for the Dominguez Channel Estuary. If monitoring data show that Dominguez Channel discharges are not meeting sediment objectives, a Reasonable Assurance Analysis will be conducted for sediment and the EWMP will be revised accordingly. For metals, the waste load allocation (WLA) assigned to MS4 discharges, as shown in Table ES-8, is a mass-based allocation based on the freshwater targets for Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral (using ambient hardness at the time of sampling) multiplied by the daily volume and is shared amongst all MS4 Permittees that discharge to the freshwater portion of Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral. The water quality targets for prioritized water body-pollutant combinations are summarized in Table ES-8. Table ES-8. Water Quality Targets for the Dominguez Channel Watershed Water Body Pollutant RWL/WQBEL from the Permit or Assumed Based on Other Similar Los Angeles Region TMDLs1 Approach for Applying the Critical Period Dominguez Channel Fecal Coliform 19% allowed exceedance of the REC-1 water quality objective, (400 MPN/100mL) on non-high flow suspension days 90th percentile year (based on wet days) was used as the critical condition. Allowable number of wet weather exceedance days for the critical year was set to 19% of non-high flow suspension wet days, rounding down. Page 532 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-20 | Page 2018 Water Body Pollutant RWL/WQBEL from the Permit or Assumed Based on Other Similar Los Angeles Region TMDLs1 Approach for Applying the Critical Period Total Copper WQBEL=9.7 ug/L Waste load allocation (WLA)= Concentration*Daily Volume 90th percentile daily load during wet weather was used as the critical condition. This calendar day was identified for each metal by ranking daily loads for metal wet days between 2003 and 2012. Total Lead WQBEL=42.7 ug/L WLA= Concentration*Daily Volume Total Zinc WQBEL=69.7 ug/L WLA= Concentration*Daily Volume 1 MS4 Permittees may demonstrate compliance with the freshwater metals allocations for Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral via any one of three different means: a. Final allocations are met. b. CTR total metals criteria are met instream. c. CTR total metals criteria are met in the discharge. Although toxicity was identified as a Category 1 water body-pollutant combination, it was not modeled for Dominguez Channel and the Torrance Lateral since it is not a wet weather parameter that can be modeled using currently available Reasonable Assurance Analysis tools for the Los Angeles Region. Instead, the Reasonable Assurance Analysis qualitatively describes how the Beach Cities WMG Agencies will comply with the TMDL WQBELs. Toxicity will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. Although ammonia was identified as a Category 2 water body-pollutant combination (Table ES-7), monitoring data since 2003 show that all water quality samples at monitoring locations S28 and TS19 meet the freshwater Basin Plan Objective for ammonia, and as a result, ammonia was not modeled as part of the Beach Cities’ Reasonable Assurance Analysis. Similarly, the Category 3 water body-pollutant combinations cyanide, pH, selenium, mercury, and cadmium, all within the Torrance Lateral, were not modeled either due to a lack of demonstrated MS4 linkage or due to data limitations. These Category 2 and 3 parameters will also be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP and if future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to exceedances of these pollutants in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised to address these pollutants. Dominguez Channel is also 303(d)-listed for diazinon, although data are not available on the SWRCB’s website since this listing was made prior to 2006. However, as the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL staff report states, the USEPA banned diazinon on December 31, 2005. The Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL staff report (Section 2.6.1) states, "Whereas elevated diazinon levels had been observed concurrently with toxicity in 2002-2005 wet weather samples and therefore diazinon was presumed to be contributing to adverse toxicity results; post-2005 results show no diazinon concentrations above the freshwater guideline. Therefore, it is appropriate to develop freshwater metals and toxicity TMDLs for wet weather; however, the more recent toxicity results are not attributable to diazinon and therefore no diazinon TMDLs have been developed for Dominguez Channel." Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral data from 2006-2013, which includes 85 total samples between the two monitoring sites, show no exceedances of the chronic diazinon criteria established by the California Department of Fish and Game (0.10 ug/L). Due to the fact that monitoring data since 2006 show that all samples at S28 and TS19 meet the applicable water quality criteria for diazinon, diazinon could reasonably be removed from the State’s 303(d) Page 533 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-21 | Page 2018 list for Dominguez Channel and therefore is not included as a Category 2 pollutant for Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral). Figure ES-4. Analysis Regions within the Dominguez Channel Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area Page 534 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-22 | Page 2018 Targets – Dominguez Channel As discussed previously, TLRs represent a numerical expression of the Permit compliance metrics (e.g., allowed mass per day for metals for wet weather and allowable exceedance days per year for bacteria) that can be modeled and can serve as a basis for confirming, with reasonable assurance, that implementation of the proposed BMPs will result in attainment of the applicable TMDL-based WQBELs and RWLs in the Permit for Category 1 pollutants, or the Water Quality Objectives for Category 2 and Category 3 pollutants. TLRs were developed for the single combined analysis region (Table ES-9). Page 535 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-23 | Page 2018 Table ES-9.

Hence the interim target load reduction is not applicable since this date has passed. 2 Proposed, non-TMDL compliance schedule. 3 Fecal coliform concentrations are estimated as the total annual load divided by the total annual runoff volume. The pollutant concentrations presented for the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL are a direct output from the LSPC model used for the RAA. 4 RAA demonstration is made based on the achievement of the TLR values in terms of absolute load removed by the proposed suite of BMPs in each analysis region. The allowed conditions in terms of runoff volume and concentration are shown for informational purposes only. Page 536 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-24 | Page 2018 BMPs – Dominguez Channel Both existing and proposed regional and distributed BMPs are included in this EWMP to address water quality targets in the Dominguez Channel Watershed. Distributed green streets BMPs are proposed and were modeled as part of the Reasonable Assurance Analysis within the DC-RB/MB analysis region, at an implementation level of 14% (i.e., runoff from 14% of single family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial land uses would be treated by green streets BMPs). General design criteria for proposed structural BMPs are summarized in Table ES-10. Table ES-10. Proposed Structural BMPs in the Dominguez Channel Watershed Analysis Region Project Name1 Description Design Storage Volume (cu-ft) Tributary Area (acres) DC – MB/RB Powerline Easement Infiltration* Located along powerline easements and/or adjacent to Marine Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard, the sub-surface biofilter has a potential surface area of 7.2 ac, an average depth of 5 ft, a diversion flowrate of 132 cfs, and a negligible infiltration rate. N/A (Flow-through BMP) 1,500 DC – MB/RB Artesia Blvd. and Hawthorne Blvd. Filtration Located near the intersection of Artesia Blvd. and Hawthorne Blvd., the sub-surface biofilter has a potential surface area of 1 ac, an average depth of 5 ft, a diversion flowrate of 13.6 cfs, and a negligible infiltration rate. N/A (Flow-through BMP) 130 DC- MB/RB Distributed Green Streets BMPs The distributed green streets (to address runoff from 14% of single family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial land uses) are assumed to have 6 in of ponding, 1.5 ft of amended soil, 3 in of mulch, and an infiltration rate of 0.15 in/hr. 636,300 200 DC-Torrance Catch Basin Inlet Filters The City of Torrance plans to retrofit catch basins with inlet filters. N/A 5,760 1 All projects listed in this table (except for the catch basin inlet filters in DC-Torrance) were modeled in the RAA and sized to collectively comply with the WQBELs and RWLs in combination with other existing and proposed structural and non-structural BMPs. Within the DC-Torrance analysis region, catch basin inlet filters are assumed to achieve WQBEL/RWL compliance based on a review of literature/studies on their performance. The total load reduction from inlet filters will be evaluated in the future through CIMP monitoring, as part of the EWMP adaptive management process. At that time, the catch basin BMPs will be modified, with additional filters installed as necessary and additional structural/non-structural BMPs proposed as needed to meet the TLRs required to achieve water quality objectives by the compliance deadlines. *Alternative project location has also been identified It should be noted that if at any time specific distributed green streets or regional/centralized BMPs are found to be infeasible for implementation, or new innovative BMPs are developed, alternative BMPs or operational changes will be planned within the same analysis region and within the same timeline, to meet an equivalent analysis region load reduction. The performance of the proposed catch basin inlet filters within the City of Torrance will also be evaluated as potential alternatives to the proposed structural BMPs within the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach. The Page 537 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-25 | Page 2018 Beach Cities WMG will provide timely notification and project details to the Regional Board in the case of any project substitutions. Demonstration of Compliance – Dominguez Channel To demonstrate wet weather compliance, the Reasonable Assurance Analysis was performed according to the following steps: 1. For each analysis region, develop TLRs for the critical condition (90th percentile year for bacteria and 90th percentile load day for metals) based on Permit requirements and LARWQCB guidance; 2. Identify structural and non-structural BMPs that were either implemented after applicable TMDL effective dates or are planned for implementation in the future: a. Assume a load reduction for non-modeled non-structural (or programmatic) BMPs (five percent of baseline pollutant load); b. Calculate load reductions for public incentives for private retrofit (e.g., downspout disconnects) and redevelopment; c. Calculate load reductions attributable to anticipated new permit compliance activities of non-MS4 entities (e.g., Industrial General Permit holders and Caltrans); and d. Calculate load reductions for proposed regional BMPs that were identified in existing plans; 3. Compare total estimated load reduction for each analysis region with the TLRs; and 4. Meet the TLRs by backfilling the remaining load reduction with new regional or distributed green streets BMPs, with green streets modeled by assuming treatment of runoff from a percentage of specific developed land uses. Within the DC-Torrance analysis region, an estimated load reduction attributable to distributed catch basin inlet filters was derived from a review of literature/studies on their performance (Appendix B). If the estimated performance is supported by future monitoring data, these filters may be used as alternative BMPs in other portions of the Dominguez Channel Watershed. Results of the wet weather Reasonable Assurance Analysis for each analysis region are presented in Table ES-11 below. The values provided correspond to the load reductions attributable to the BMP types following the applicable compliance deadline. As shown, the TLRs are predicted to be met in the DC-RB/MB analysis region for metals and fecal coliforms with varying applications of non-structural and regional BMPs as described previously. Within the DC-Torrance analysis region, the TLRs will be met through implementation of catch basin inlet filters as needed. Monitoring and subsequent adaptive management will be employed to evaluate the achieved load reductions prior to each of the compliance deadlines, installing additional filters as needed until compliance is achieved for every applicable WQBEL or RWL. Page 538 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-26 | Page 2018 For dry weather, bacteria is the only applicable pollutant in the Dominguez Channel Watershed, and it is a Category 2 water body-pollutant combination (i.e., 303(d)-listed but not currently subject to a TMDL). The City of Torrance’s dry weather load reduction strategy will focus on non-structural source control and pollution prevention measures that are designed to reduce the amount of pollutants and understand the effect of pollutants entering runoff though education, enforcement and behavioral modification programs. Within the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach, the implementation of the two regional BMPs at both outlets from the DC-RB/MB analysis region to address wet weather pollutants will control dry weather flows by capturing the small flows in the pre-treatment volume and either retaining them or treating them in the media filter. In addition, each of the EWMP WMG cities has water conservation regulations which will reduce dry weather runoff at its source. Collectively, by controlling dry weather MS4 flows prior to entering Dominguez Channel using the proposed suite of BMPs, bacteria will be addressed. If necessary, the EWMP Group agencies retain the option of installing low flow diversions sized to effectively eliminate discharges to the receiving water year-round dry weather days. Therefore, reasonable assurance of meeting the applicable RWLs was demonstrated in this EWMP through a qualitative assessment of the proposed BMPs and their overall approach of eliminating or substantially reducing MS4 discharges during dry weather.

The individual load reduction for each inlet filter’s drainage area is shown under the “Distributed BMPs” column. Initially, 200 of 643 catch basins are planned to be retrofitted in high priority catchments. The total load reduction from inlet filters will be evaluated in the future through CIMP monitoring, as part of the EWMP adaptive management process. At that time, the catch basin BMPs will be modified, with additional filters installed as necessary and additional structural/non-structural BMPs proposed as needed to meet the TLRs required to achieve water quality objectives by the compliance deadlines.

As required by the Permit, monitoring for these pollutants will occur under the CIMP. If monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities Agencies’ MS4s may cause or contribute to exceedances of these pollutants in the receiving water,10 these contributions will be addressed through modifications to the EWMP as a part of the adaptive management process, as described in Permit section VI.C.2.a.iii. 1 Toxicity, copper, lead, and zinc are listed as Category 1 wet weather pollutants in Dominguez Channel. 2 Copper, lead, zinc, and cadmium are listed as Category 1 pollutants in Dominguez Channel Estuary with annual average WQBELs that apply to both wet and dry weather. 3 Dominguez Channel Estuary WQBELs for total copper, lead, zinc, and cadmium are addressed by the implementation actions taken for Dominguez Channel wet weather WQBELs. 4 According to monitoring data at Dominguez Channel Mass Emission Station S28, the copper, lead, and zinc exceedance rates of the interim WQBELs are 9%, 3% 10% respectively, based on qualified sampling events between 2002 and 2013. At the Torrance Lateral Mass Emission Station TS19, the copper, lead, and zinc exceedance rates of the interim WQBELs are 5%, 0%, and 8% respectively. These monitoring locations receive flow contributions from the Beach Cities WMG, as well as other WMGs. CIMP monitoring and subsequent adaptive management will evaluate if the Beach Cities WMG are exceeding the interim Category 1 WQBELs and evaluate compliance with the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL. 5 The proposed compliance schedule for dry weather bacteria is the minimum time expected to be necessary for the agencies to plan, design, permit, construct, monitor, and adaptively manage the proposed dry weather BMPs, and is also consistent with the 10-year MS4 compliance schedule for dry weather from the TMDL for indicator bacteria in the San Gabriel River, Estuary and Tributaries, adopted by the LARWQCB in 2015 (Water Quality Control Plan, Attachment A to Resolution No. R15-005, adopted by the RWQCB in 2015). 6 Proposed milestones for MCM enhancement implementation are detailed in Table 2-8. 7 If regional BMPs are deemed necessary for dry weather compliance, their construction dates will be moved up to meet the dry weather deadlines. 8 The proposed compliance schedule for wet weather bacteria and all Category 3 pollutants was selected to be consistent with the Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters Toxic Pollutants TMDL (Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL) (RWQCB, 2011). This compliance schedule is the minimum time expected to be necessary for the agencies to plan, design, permit, construct, monitor, and adaptively manage the proposed wet weather BMPs. 9 Cyanide, pH, selenium, mercury, and cadmium are Category 3 pollutants in Dominguez Channel. Arsenic, chromium, silver, nickel, mercury, and thallium are Category 3 pollutants in Dominguez Channel Estuary. 10 This will be assumed to be the case if monitoring data show that outfall concentrations and receiving water concentrations are in excess of the applicable water quality criteria for the same monitoring event. Page 546 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-34 | Page 2018 PLANNING LEVEL COST OPINION Planning-level cost opinions associated with implementation of the proposed structural best management practices within the Beach Cities WMG area are provided based on results from the Reasonable Assurance Analysis for the Beach Cities EWMP. Cost opinions are presented as an aid for decision makers, and contain considerable uncertainties. Given the iterative and adaptive nature of the EWMP and the many variables associated with the projects, the budget forecasts are order-of magnitude opinions, and are subject to change based on site-specific BMP feasibility assessment findings, preliminary and final BMP designs and landscaping, BMP effectiveness assessments, results of outfall and receiving water monitoring, and special studies such as those that might result in site specific objectives which could modify water quality objectives or TMDL Waste Load Allocations for a specific water body-pollutant combination. EWMP planning-level cost opinions were developed for the proposed structural BMPs in addition to programmatic costs. Costs approximated for structural BMPs include “hard” costs for tangible assets and “soft” costs, which include considerations such as design and permitting. Table ES-13 summarizes the total 20-year life-cycle costs for each proposed structural BMP, which are composed of the cost to construct or implement each structural BMP plus the associated annual O&M costs over 20 years. In order to account for possible variations in BMP design, BMP configurations, and site-specific constraints, as well as for uncertainties in available BMP unit costs from literature or estimated BMP unit costs, a range of costs is presented. These cost opinions are provided for information only, and it is recognized that should monitoring information demonstrate that alternative, less-expensive BMPs are equally (or superior) to those described herein, that these alternative BMPs may be implemented at the discretion of the WMG agencies. Not included in these costs are the annual monitoring costs for implementing the CIMP or the costs associated with implementing baseline and enhanced MCMs. Page 547 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-35 | Page 2018 Table ES-13.

Section 7 of this EWMP provides an overview of potentially available funding sources to pay for programs proposed in the EWMP. Examples show that a multi-pronged funding strategy using multiple sources rather than rely on a single storm drain fee may be the most prudent approach. A list of potential fees and charges has been developed, which will be further considered and explored by the Beach Cities WMG in the future: • Vehicle license and vehicle rental fees • Solid waste management surcharge • Water service surcharge (under AB850) • Property assessment • Fines (not a stable source, it is an exemption under Proposition 26) • Financial subsidy to encourage private sector participation to develop local and district projects • One time capital recovery fee • Dedicated storm drain fee • Taxes (e.g. fuel taxes) • A TMDL fee / tax could be developed based on the pollutant contribution from polluters / activities In addition, Public Private Partnerships and alternative delivery and financing methods may facilitate and streamline implementation, and could result in program cost reductions. From the analysis of potential costs in this section as summarized in Table ES-13, it is clear that projected costs of implementing the EWMP are substantial and orders of magnitude higher than have previously been expended by the agencies under the previous MS4 Permit. Thus availability of funds will be critical for the implementation of the EWMP. Currently, the Beach Cities do not have sufficient funds or dedicated funding streams to construct and maintain the projects proposed in this EWMP. The Beach Cities agencies are working with the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities and the California Contract Cities Association to partner with other affected agencies to collectively influence State policies, pursue changes in legislation and lobby high level officials for additional stormwater funding. Working together with the other cities will increase effectiveness, communication, collaboration, and reduce redundant efforts. The LACFCD will also work with the Beach Cities in their efforts to address source controls; assess, develop, and pursue funding for structural BMPs, and promote the use of water reuse and infiltration. As regional project scopes are further refined, the LACFCD will determine on a case-by-case basis their contribution to the projects. Page 549 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section ES | Executive Summary ES-37 | Page 2018 In addition to working with other affected cities on a regional level, the Beach Cities WMG individually and collaboratively are committed to pursue funding sources at a local level including but not limited to: • Grants - Collaboration and coordination between the Beach Cities will be important to increase accessible grant funding opportunities for stormwater projects, however alternative funding sources will also be needed to provide stable O&M revenues since grants typically do not provide for O&M. • Interagency Partnerships – Interagency partnerships, like the Beach Cities WMG, can allow agencies to leverage local funding resources to make cost intensive projects possible. • Local Bond Issuance - Two types of local bonds can be utilized. General Obligation (GO) bonds are issued by local governments and repaid through a property tax surcharge. Revenue bonds are tax-exempt securitized bonds repaid through utility rate increases charged directly to customers. • Local Stormwater Assessments - Stormwater charges are potentially the most critical local funding source to finance stormwater programs. These charges include stormwater fees and taxes. • Direct Subsidies - Direct financial subsidies to local projects do not contribute to cash revenue generation. However, subsidies can create a financial incentive to encourage local participation without providing the full cost for project implementation. Such an approach can increase financial efficiency by leveraging financial input from communities. These potential sources of funding are discussed in greater detail in Section 7. Page 550 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-1 | Page 2018 1 INTRODUCTION Following adoption of the 2012 Los Angeles Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit4 (Permit), the Cities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance, together with the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD), collectively referred to as the Beach Cities Watershed Management Group (Beach Cities WMG) agreed to collaborate on the development of an Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP) for the Santa Monica Bay (SMB) and Dominguez Channel areas within their jurisdictions (referred to herein as the Beach Cities EWMP Area). This EWMP is intended to facilitate effective, watershed-specific Permit implementation strategies in accordance with Permit Part VI.C. and summarizes the SMB and Dominguez Channel-specific water quality priorities identified jointly by the Beach Cities WMG, outlines the program plan, including specific strategies, control measures and best management practices (BMPs)5, necessary to achieve water quality targets (Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations [WQBELs] and Receiving Water Limitations [RWLs]), and describes the quantitative analyses completed to support target achievement and Permit compliance. In compliance with Section VI.C.4.b of the Permit, the Beach Cities WMG submitted to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) a Notice of Intent (NOI) to develop an EWMP on June 28, 2013 with a revised NOI submitted December 17, 2013. On March 27, 2014, the Beach Cities WMG received a letter from the Executive Officer of the LARWQCB approving the revised NOI submittal. In compliance with Section VI.C.4.c.iv of the Permit, the Beach Cities WMG then submitted a draft EWMP Work Plan to the LARWQCB on June 26, 2014. Comments were not received. As the next step in EWMP development, the Beach Cities WMG was required by Section VI.C.4.c.iv of the Permit to submit a draft EWMP no later than June 30, 2015. This document has been developed to serve as the Beach Cities Draft EWMP and is consistent with the Work Plan previously submitted to the LARWQCB. 1.1 PURPOSE AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Watershed Management Programs (WMPs) are a voluntary opportunity afforded by Section VI.C.1 of the Permit for Permittees to collaboratively or individually develop comprehensive watershed-specific control plans and are intended to facilitate Permit compliance and water quality target achievement. Enhanced WMPs (EWMPS) are WMPs which comprehensively evaluate opportunities for collaboration on multi-benefit regional projects that retain all non-stormwater runoff and runoff from the 85th percentile, 24 hour storm event while also achieving benefits associated with issues such as flood control and water supply. Additional details on the regulatory background for NPDES 4 Order No. R4-2012-0175 NPDES Permit No. CAS004001 Waste Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4. 5 For simplification, the term “BMP” will be used to collectively refer to strategies, control measures, and/or best management practices. The Permit also refers to these measures as Watershed Control Measures. Page 551 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-2 | Page 2018 Permit and Water Quality Standards and the Permit specifics of WMPs and EWMPs are provided below. 1.1.1 NPDES PERMIT The 1972 Clean Water Act (CWA) established the NPDES Program to regulate the discharge of pollutants from point sources to waters of the United States. In 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) developed Phase I of the NPDES Stormwater Permitting Program, which established a framework for regulating municipal and industrial discharges of stormwater and non-stormwater that had the greatest potential to negatively impact water quality within waters of the United States. In particular, under Phase I, USEPA required NPDES Permit coverage for discharges from medium and large MS4 servicing populations greater than 100,000 persons. Operators of MS4s regulated under the Phase I NPDES Stormwater Program were required to obtain permit coverage for municipal discharges of stormwater and non-stormwater to waters of the United States. The LARWQCB designated the MS4s owned and/or operated by the incorporated cities and Los Angeles County unincorporated areas within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County as a large MS4 due to the total population of Los Angeles County. All MS4s within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County except for the City of Long Beach MS4 are subject to the waste discharge requirements set forth in Order No. R4-2012-0175 Permit No. CAS004001. General permit requirements, which are relevant to and must be ensured by WMPs, include (i) a requirement to effectively prohibit non-stormwater discharges through the MS4, (ii) requirements to implement controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable, and (iii) other provisions the LARWQCB has determined appropriate for the control of such pollutants. 1.1.2 WATER QUALITY STANDARDS AND TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADS (TMDLS) The CWA also required that the RWQCB establish water quality standards for each water body in its region. Water quality standards include beneficial uses, water quality objectives and criteria that are established at levels sufficient to protect those beneficial uses, and an anti-degradation policy to prevent degrading waters. The LARWQCB adopted a Water Quality Control Plan - Los Angeles Region (hereinafter Basin Plan) on June 13, 1994 addressing this portion of the CWA which designates beneficial uses, establishes water quality objectives, and contains implementation programs and policies to achieve those objectives for all waters in the Los Angeles Region. Pursuant to California Water Code section 13263(a), the requirements of the Permit implement the Basin Plan. The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) adopted the Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters in California, California Ocean Plan (hereinafter Ocean Plan) in 1972 and adopted the most recent amended Ocean Plan on September 15, 2009. The Ocean Plan also establishes water quality objectives and a program of implementation to protect beneficial uses at all MS4 discharge points within Los Angeles County coastal watersheds with the exception of Long Beach. Page 552 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-3 | Page 2018 CWA Section 303(d)(1) requires each state to identify the waters within its boundaries that do not meet water quality standards. Water bodies that do not meet water quality standards are considered impaired and are placed on the state’s “CWA Section 303(d) List”. For each listed water body, the state is required to establish a TMDL for each pollutant impairing the water quality standards in that water body. TMDLs establish the allowable pollutant loadings for a water body and provide the basis upon which to establish water quality-based controls (required by NPDES Permits). The 2010 CWA Integrated Report and updated 303(d) list were approved by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) on August 4, 2010 and by the USEPA on October 11, 2011. Provisions regarding TMDLs are included in NPDES Permits once they have been developed and adopted. Specific TMDLs applicable to the Beach Cities EWMP Area are discussed in more detail in Sections 2 and 3. 1.1.3 WMPS AND ENHANCED WMPS The voluntary WMPs and EWMPs allow Permittees to collaboratively or individually develop comprehensive watershed-specific control plans which a) prioritize water quality issues, b) identify and implement focused strategies, control measures and BMPs, c) execute an integrated monitoring and assessment program, and d) allow for modification over time. In general, WMPs and EWMPs are intended to facilitate Permit compliance and water quality target achievement with the goals that: 1) discharges from covered MS4s achieve applicable WQBELs and RWLs and do not include prohibited non-stormwater discharges; and 2) control measures are implemented to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). Per Permit Section VI.C.1.e, WMPs and EWMPs are to be developed based on the LARWQCB’s Watershed Management Areas (WMAs) or subwatersheds thereof. Permittees within a WMA may elect to prepare an EWMP, which is defined in the Permit as a WMP that comprehensively evaluates opportunities for collaboration amongst Permittees and other partners on multi-benefit regional projects that, wherever feasible, retain, 1) all non-stormwater runoff, and 2) all stormwater runoff from the 85th percentile 24 hour storm event while also achieving benefits associated with issues such as flood control and water supply. Where regional projects cannot achieve these standards, the EWMP must demonstrate through a Reasonable Assurance Analysis (RAA), that applicable water quality targets are achieved. The Permit specifies that an EWMP shall: 1. Be consistent with Permit provisions in Part VI.C.1.a.-f and Part VI.C.5-C.8, 2. Incorporate applicable State agency input on priorities and key implementation factors, 3. Provide for meeting water quality standards and other CWA obligations, 4. Include multi-benefit6 regional projects which retain stormwater from the 85th percentile 24 hour storm 6 Potential multiple benefits include neighborhood greening, water conservation and/or supply, groundwater recharge, public education and/or awareness, etc. Page 553 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-4 | Page 2018 5. Include watershed control measures which achieve compliance with all interim and final WQBELs in drainage areas where retention of the 85th percentile 24 hour storm is infeasible with reasonable assurance, 6. Maximize the effectiveness of funding, 7. Incorporate effective innovative technologies, 8. Ensure existing requirements to comply with technology based effluent limitations and core requirements are not delayed, and 9. Ensure a financial strategy is in place. 1.2 APPLICABILITY OF EWMP The agencies of the Beach Cities WMG have been working together since 2004 to implement the previously developed Jurisdictional Groups 5 and 6 Implementation Plan for the Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria (SMBBB) TMDLs, including a BMP Siting Study (Geosyntec, 2011a) and Dry Weather Source Characterization and Control Study (Geosyntec, 2011b) for two high priority subwatersheds, along with joint implementation of programmatic solutions. Since 2004, the Beach Cities have also been jointly funding receiving water monitoring consistent with the Coordinated Shoreline Monitoring Plan for the SMBBB TMDLs along the shoreline of the Beach Cities WMG EWMP Area. These ongoing efforts by the Beach Cities WMG to comply with the SMBBB TMDLs have been an effective facilitator for the development of the EWMP. This EWMP is applicable to the Beach Cities EWMP Area, which consists of all of the incorporated MS4 areas of the cities of Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Torrance and includes the infrastructure of the LACFCD within those jurisdictions (Figure 1-1), with the exception of the Machado Lake Watershed which is being addressed separately by the City of Torrance, and is not addressed in this EWMP. A small portion of the City of Redondo Beach is located within the Machado Lake Watershed boundary but has requested to be removed from the Machado Lake Implementation Plan and other compliance requirements pertaining to the Machado Lake Watershed. Further details are described in Section 1.2.1. The beach areas within the geographic area of the Beach Cities WMG do not have any storm drain infrastructure that collect and discharges beach runoff directly to the receiving water and are therefore considered non-point sources and not subject to the MS4 Permit or EWMP requirements. Similarly, the Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach piers are not part of the MS4; they are non-point sources excluded from the MS4 Permit scope and therefore the EWMP. The Redondo Beach Pier including the King Harbor Marina are included in the geographic scope of the Beach Cities WMG EWMP as these areas are equipped with MS4 infrastructure. The Wylie Sump, Bishop Montgomery Basin, and Ocean Basin are all retention basins with no outlet. Therefore, their drainage areas have been excluded from the EWMP, with no analyses required. The Del Amo Retention Basin also has not outlet, and is sized to capture runoff from at least the 85th percentile, 24 hour storm event. Because the Del Amo Retention Basin is within the Machado Lake Watershed, this drainage area is excluded from the EWMP. Page 554 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-5 | Page 2018 Figure 1-1. Beach Cities EWMP Area Page 555 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-6 | Page 2018 1.2.1 CITY OF REDONDO BEACH CONTRIBUTION AND COMPLIANCE STRATEGY IN THE MACHADO LAKE WATERSHED Machado Lake is a 40 acre lake located in the Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park and is managed by the City of Los Angeles, Department of Recreation and Parks. The Machado Lake watershed includes portions of Lomita, Torrance, Carson, City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates and California Department of Transportation. Machado Lake is listed on the 1998, 2002, and 2006, and 2010 Clean Water Act Section 303(d) lists of impaired water bodies due to eutrophic conditions, algae and odors (Nutrients); chlordane, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), dieldrin, Chem A, and PCBs in tissue; and impaired sediment due to chlordane, DDT, and PCBs (Toxics). The listed impairments are caused by the overloading of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, resulting in excessive algal growth which leads to increased turbidity, decreased levels of oxygen, and odor problems. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) established TMDLs for Machado Lake for algae, ammonia and odors (Nutrients) on May 1, 2008, and for Pesticides and PCBs (Toxics) on September 2, 2010. In addition, on June 7, 2007, the RWQCB adopted an amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for the Los Angeles Region (Basin Plan) incorporating a TMDL for Trash in Machado Lake (March 6, 2008 was the effective date of the Machado Lake Trash TMDL). The Machado Lake TMDL describes the watershed as: “Machado Lake is a receiving body of urban and storm water runoff from the storm drain system covering an approximately 20-square mile watershed. The Wilmington Drain collects runoff from the surrounding cities of Lomita, Torrance, Carson, and Los Angeles, and then discharges over 50 percent of the watershed into Machado Lake at the northeast corner. The rest of the waters enter the lake through other storm drains including the Project No. 77 channel, the Harbor City Relief Drain located at the west end of the lake, the City of Los Angeles drains for runoff from streets, and the Harbor Park Municipal Golf Course. The Wilmington Drain Project 77 and the Harbor City Relief Drain collect storm water from the communities of Harbor City, Lomita, Carson, Torrance, and Wilmington, and from the Walteria Lake drainage area. In addition, two project 643 outlets discharge to the wetlands area. During the dry season, Machado Lake is replenished via a City of Los Angeles Department of Water And Power potable water pipeline and dry weather runoff.” The City of Redondo Beach is situated in the western portion of the Machado Lake subwatershed and makes up 0.018% (approximately 0.94 acres) of the total watershed area. This has been reduced from previously reported percentages based on a staff field visit the week of January 4, 2016 during a heavy rain event when stormwater runoff from a small area was observed to drain to the Santa Monica Bay, not Machado Lake, as previously assumed. The City of Redondo Beach has no direct discharges into Machado Lake and has 0 (zero) point source area miles, which results in a calculated waste load allocation of zero for the City’s drainage area. The City’s contributory drainage area consists of no catch basins or storm drains. Page 556 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-7 | Page 2018 Two corrected watershed maps identifying the drainage area are attached as Appendices C and D in this EWMP. The drainage from the City’s area to Machado Lake has been determined to be “de minimus” and poses an insignificant threat to Machado Lake water quality and pollutant loading. The City of Redondo Beach will manage and included this described area as part of the City’s Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria (SMBBB) TMDL and overall MS4 NPDES program, including the implementation of all minimum control measures and oversight. The City of Redondo Beach sent a letter to the State Water Resources Control Board dated October 31, 2007 (Appendix E) requesting to be exempted from the Machado Lake Trash TMDL and sent another letter to the RWQCB on December 18, 2008 (Appendix F) requesting the City be removed as a responsible agency under the Machado Lake TMDL requirements. The Watershed agencies agreed to this; therefore, they did not included the City of Redondo Beach in the Machado Lake Trash TMDL Monitoring and Reporting Plan. Based on these items, the City of Redondo Beach has requested to be deemed “in-compliance” with their Machado Lake Watershed drainage area and be removed from the Machado Lake Watershed Implementation Plan for the following reasons: • The City of Redondo Beach’s drainage area is only 0.018% (approximately 0.94 acres) of the total Machado Lake Watershed area. This area has been determined to be “de minimus” and post an insignificant threat to Machado Lake Watershed water quality and pollutant loading. The portion of the City’s contributory drainage area consists of no catch basins or storm drains. • The City of Redondo Beach proposes that it would be more reasonable for the City to focus its resources to implement the SMBBB TMDL and other relevant TMDLs. The majority of the City land area discharges into the Santa Monica Bay, which would make it more feasible and effective to use resources on projects and programs that will have the most impact on water quality improvements. The insignificant area draining into Machado Lake would be subject to the same control measures of the implementation plan developed for the SMBBB TMDL and all other MS4 NPDES measures. As a result, this area would benefit from the appropriate BMPs designed for the entire City. 1.3 EWMP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Section VI.C.1.f.v of the Permit requires a stakeholder process for collaboration on EWMP development. The development process must: • Provide appropriate opportunity for stakeholder input; • Include participation in the Permit-wide Technical Advisory Committee (TAC); and • Incorporate applicable State agency input on priority setting and other key implementation issues. The Beach Cities WMG has conducted public outreach to engage the public, LARWQCB staff, and other interested parties to support EWMP development. Input has been incorporated as appropriate. These efforts are described in more detail below. Page 557 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-8 | Page 2018 Public Workshops. Public workshops were held on May 21, 2014 at the Joslyn Center in Manhattan Beach and on May 27, 2015 at the Redondo Beach Public Library. An informational presentation was provided followed by a question and answer period to encourage stakeholder input. Concerns were noted and considered during EWMP development by the Beach Cities WMG. Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The Beach Cities WMG has, and will continue to, actively participate in the Los Angeles region TAC and applicable subcommittees throughout the EWMP process. LARWQCB Presentations. The Beach Cities WMG presented the proposed RAA approach to LARWQCB staff on April 9 and June 6, 2014. LARWQCB staff provided feedback during these meetings and in general they were supportive of the proposed approach. One additional meeting was held on July 31, 2014 to discuss Torrance-specific matters. The EWMP also addressed other State agency priorities, including the following: California Water Action Plan (2014). The California Water Action Plan proposes several statewide actions that are well aligned with the expected benefits of the proposed projects in this EWMP, including: • Expand Water Storage Capacity and Improve Groundwater Management (infiltration BMPs): This action aims to address the need to expand the state’s storage capacity, whether in surface or groundwater to provide widespread public and environmental benefits. The California Water Action Plan states that “state agencies will work with tribes and federal, regional and local agencies on other actions related to promoting groundwater recharge and increasing storage, including improving interagency coordination, aligning land use planning with groundwater recharge...” The regional and distributed BMP projects proposed in the Beach Cities EWMP may contribute to groundwater recharge and expanding storage capacity throughout the Beach Cities WMG. • Increase Operational and Regulatory Efficiency: Monitoring data collected under the CIMP to measure progress toward achieving RWLs and WQBELs and to determine if modifications to the Beach Cities EWMP are necessary may provide the benefit of increased operational and regulatory efficiency. Improving data availability may also improve coordination of operations of all major water supply, flood control, hatchery facilities, and habitat restoration projects. 2014 Greater Los Angeles County Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (GLAC IRWM Plan). The goal of the GLACR IRWM Plan is to achieve sustainable management of water resources in the Greater Los Angeles County. The plan lists several regional objectives to achieve this goal. The Beach Cities EWMP contributes to some of the objectives outlined in the plan, including the following: Page 558 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-9 | Page 2018 • Water Quality: This objective aims to comply with water quality regulations by improving the quality of urban runoff, stormwater, and wastewater. The Beach Cities EWMP contributes to this objective by proposing new distributed and regional stormwater capture opportunities in areas prioritized by statewide and regional regulations and water quality conditions. • Open Space and Recreation: This objective aims to protect, restore, and enhance natural process and habitats. Several of the regional EWMP projects (i.e. Park #3 BMP and the Powerline Easement in Analysis Region SMB-6-01) provide opportunity for expanded habitat and increased green space. STORMS Storm Water Strategy (California Water Boards, 2015). The Storm Water Strategy assists in achieving the actions identified in the California Water Action Plan, including the aforementioned action of expanding water storage capacity and improving groundwater management. The Storm Water Strategy supports efforts to improve interagency coordination and identify needs for groundwater recharge opportunity. The Storm Water Strategy also lists six overarching objectives. The Beach Cities EWMP contributes to some of these objectives, including the following: • Increase Stakeholder Collaboration on a Watershed Scale: the Beach Cities WMG agreed to collaborate on the development of this EWMP for the Santa Monica Bay and Dominguez Channel Watershed areas within their jurisdictions to facilitate effective, watershed-specific Permit implementation strategies in accordance with Permit Part VI.C. • Establish Financially Sustainable Storm Water Programs: This EWMP provides an overview of potentially available funding sources for programs proposed in the EWMP. The funding sources identified for consideration are grants, interagency partnerships, bonds, State Revolving Funds, local funding opportunities, and public private partnerships. • Increase Source Control and Pollution Prevention: This EWMP identifies the cumulative benefits from non-modeled programmatic source control BMPs that target the pollutants addressed in this EWMP. Final Storm Water Resource Plan Guidelines (Guidelines) (December 2015). The Guidelines establish guidance for public agencies to develop Storm Water Resource Plans (Plans) consistent with Water Code sections 10561 through 10565. The Water Code states that a Plan is required as a condition to receive funding for stormwater and dry weather runoff capture projects from any bond approved by voters after January 2014, which also applies to Proposition 1 funding. The Guidelines provide guidance such as clarification on the applicability of the Guidelines, appropriate geographic scale of watersheds for stormwater resource planning, guidance on agencies and organizations to be consulted during Plan development, methods for identifying and prioritizing stormwater and runoff capture projects, project scheduling and implementation strategies, and so forth. Page 559 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 1 | Introduction 1-10 | Page 2018 A Self-Certified Checklist provided in the Guidelines includes a complete list of the elements of a Stormwater Resource Plan that are considered mandatory per the California Water Code. Fulfilling the mandatory requirements would make the Beach Cities WMG eligible for Proposition 1 Stormwater Grant funding which would be applied toward the proposed Beach Cities EWMP projects. The mandatory required elements highlighted in the Checklist and Self-Certification are either entirely fulfilled by the Beach Cities EWMP (including appended documents) or will be fulfilled on a project-specific basis. For example, maximizing flood control will be part of detailed design at the project level. 1.4 REPORT ORGANIZATION This Beach Cities EWMP addresses the required EWMP elements from Section VI.C. of the Permit for both the SMB and Dominguez Channel Watersheds. Because the SMB and Dominguez Channel Watersheds have their own unique water quality conditions, their technical evaluations were performed independently and are documented in separate sections in this EWMP. This includes the water quality prioritization, RAA, and BMP identification. Section 2 summarizes the technical aspects of the EWMP for Santa Monica Bay watershed while Section 3 covers the same technical elements for Dominguez Channel Watershed. Section 4 presents individual EMWP implementation schedules for both watersheds. In Section 5, the adaptive management process proposed by the Beach Cities WMG is described, and in Section 6, the cost opinions associated with EWMP implementation are summarized. Section 7 describes potential funding sources and financial strategies. Sections 8 and 9 include the legal authority and references, respectively. 1.5 TERMS OF REFERENCE This work was conducted by Geosyntec Consultants for the Beach Cities WMG with the purpose of developing a comprehensive control plan to facilitate Permit compliance and achievement of water quality standards and serves as the deliverable for Task 4.5 of the Beach Cities WMP contract.

Page 560 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-1 | Page 2018 2 SANTA MONICA B AY WATERSHED 2.1 BACKGROUND 2.1.1 GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT The western portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area consists of approximately 7,840 acres of land that drains to SMB. This accounts for 52% of the total Beach Cities WMG area, and includes portions of the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance, and the entirety of the City of Hermosa Beach (Figure 2-1). This portion of the study area is hereinafter referred to as the SMB Watershed. The majority of the SMB Watershed consists of residential land uses (Figure 2-2). The LACFCD is not responsible for land within the Beach Cities EWMP Area, but does own and maintain infrastructure within all three watersheds. Background information on the LACFCD is provided in Appendix G. Table 2-1 provides a breakdown of the Beach Cities EWMP Area by agency and watershed. This section of the EWMP focuses on the SMB Watershed only. Table 2-1.

To accomplish this per Permit Section VI.C.5.a, the Beach Cities WMG conducted the following for the Santa Monica Bay watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area: 1. Characterize the water quality of stormwater and non-stormwater discharges from the MS4 as well as receiving water bodies; 2. Prioritize water body-pollutant combinations (WBPCs); and 3. Assess sources for high priority water body. A summary of results is provided below. 2.2.1 WATER QUALITY CHARACTERIZATION Beneficial Uses The Basin Plan (LARWQCB, 1995, updated 2011) identifies receiving waters within the Los Angeles region and sets regulatory objectives for these receiving waters. Within the SMB Watershed, identified receiving water bodies include SMB itself as well as coastal beaches within the Beach Cities WMG Area. Regulations set forth in the California Ocean Plan (SWRCB, 2012) are therefore also applicable to the SMB Watershed. Both the Basin Plan and Ocean Plan regulate waste discharges to protect the quality of surface waters for use and enjoyment by the general public. Regulations set forth in the Basin Plan are based on assigned beneficial uses for each receiving water body. Beneficial use designations for receiving waters within the Beach Cities WMG Area include: • Municipal and Domestic Supply (MUN): Uses of water for community, military, or individual water supply systems including, but not limited to, drinking water supply. • Industrial Service Supply (IND): Uses of water for industrial activities that do not depend primarily on water quality including, but not limited to, mining, cooling water supply, hydraulic conveyance, gravel washing, fire protection, or oil well re-pressurization. • Navigation (NAV): Uses of water for shipping, travel, or other transportation by private, military, or commercial vessels. • Water Contact Recreation (REC-1): Uses of water for recreational activities involving body contact with water, where ingestion of water is reasonably possible. These include, but are not limited to, swimming, wading, water-skiing, skin and scuba diving, surfing, what water activities, fishing, or use of natural hot springs. • Non-Contact Water Recreation (REC-2): Uses of water for recreational activities involving proximity to water, but not normally involving body contact with water, where ingestion of water is reasonably possible. These uses include, but are not limited to, picnicking, sunbathing, hiking, beachcombing, camping, boating, tide pool and marine life study, hunting, sightseeing, or aesthetic enjoyment in conjunction with the above activities. Page 564 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-5 | Page 2018 • High Flow Suspension (HFS): Applies to water contact recreational activities associated with the swimmable goal regulated under the REC-1 use, non-contact water recreation involving incidental water contact regulated under the REC-2 use, and the associated bacteriological objectives set to protect those activities. • Commercial and Sport Fishing (COMM): Uses of water for commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or other organisms including, but not limited to, uses involving organisms intended for human consumption or bait purposes. • Warm Freshwater Habitat (WARM): Uses of water that support warm water ecosystems including, but not limited to, preservation or enhancement of aquatic habitats, vegetation, fish, or wildlife, including invertebrates. • Marine Habitat (MAR): Uses of water that support marine ecosystems including, but not limited to, preservation or enhancement of marine habitats, vegetation such as kelp, fish, shellfish, or wildlife (e.g., marine mammals, shorebirds). • Wildlife Habitat (WILD): Uses of water that support terrestrial ecosystems including, but not limited to, preservation and enhancement of terrestrial habitats, vegetation, wildlife (e.g., mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates), or wildlife water and food sources. • Rare, Threatened, or Endangered Species (RARE): Uses of water that support habitats necessary, at least in part, for the survival and successful maintenance of plant or animal species established under state or federal law as rare, threatened, or endangered. • Migration of Aquatic Organisms (MIGR): Uses of water that support habitats necessary for migration, acclimatization between fresh and salt water, or other temporary activities by aquatic organisms, such as anadromous fish. • Spawning, Reproduction, and/or Early Development (SPWN): Uses of water that support high quality aquatic habitats suitable for reproduction and early development of fish. • Shellfish Harvesting (SHELL): Uses of water that support habitats suitable for the collection of filter-feeding shellfish (e.g., clams, oysters, and mussels) for human consumption, commercial, or sports purposes. • Wetland Habitat (WET): Uses of water that support wetland ecosystems, including, but not limited to, preservation or enhancement of wetland habitats, vegetation, fish, shellfish, or wildlife, and other unique wetland functions which enhance water quality, such as providing flood and erosion control, stream bank stabilization, and filtration and purification of naturally occurring contaminants. According to the Ocean Plan (SWRCB, 2012), “The beneficial uses of the ocean waters of the State that shall be protected include industrial water supply (IND); water contact recreation (REC-1) and non-contact recreation (REC-2), including aesthetic enjoyment; navigation (NAV); commercial and sport fishing (COMM); mariculture; preservation and enhancement of designated Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS); rare and endangered species (RARE); marine habitat (MAR); fish migration (MIGR); fish spawning (SPWN) and shellfish* harvesting (SHELL).” Additional beneficial uses are defined as follows: Page 565 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-6 | Page 2018 • Mariculture: The culture of plants and animals in marine waters independent of any pollution source. • ASBS: Those areas designated by the State Water Board as ocean areas requiring protection of species or biological communities to the extent that maintenance of natural water quality is assured. ASBS are also referred to as State Water Quality Protection Areas – Areas of Special Biological Significance (SWQPA-ASBS). Table 2-2 summarizes the existing beneficial uses for the Santa Monica Bay water bodies in the Beach Cities WMG Area, as designated in the Basin Plan. Table 2-2.

Any regulatory action would require a detailed analysis of the area. 3 Most frequently used grunion spawning beaches. Other beaches may be used as well. SMB Watershed Data Analysis An evaluation of existing water quality conditions, including characterization of stormwater discharges from the MS4 as well as receiving water quality was carried out as part of this EWMP to support identification and prioritization/sequencing of management actions, to the extent possible based on available data. To evaluate water-quality conditions within the SMB Watershed, a review of previous studies was conducted to characterize receiving water bodies within the Beach Cities WMG Area. Monitoring data analyzed were limited to bacteria data collected as part of the SMB Beaches Bacteria TMDL CSMP and limited PCB and DDT data collected as part of the 2008 Bight Regional Monitoring Program. A summary of this analysis is provided below. Additional details can be found in the Beach Cities EWMP Work Plan. 2.2.2 WATER BODY-POLLUTANT CLASSIFICATION Receiving waters for stormwater runoff from the Santa Monica Bay Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area were screened for water quality priorities by reviewing TMDLs, the State’s Page 566 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-7 | Page 2018 303(d) list, and additional water quality data. Each identified water quality priority for a given receiving water body was categorized as a WBPC. WBPCs were classified into one of three categories, in accordance with Section VI.C.5(a).ii of the Permit. No 303(d) listings exist beyond the TMDL WBPCs, and no other recent monitoring data are available beyond the SMBBB TMDL Coordinated Shoreline Monitoring Plan (CSMP) data; therefore, no Category 2 or 3 WBPCs have been identified for the Beach Cities portion of SMB at this time. Category 1 – Highest Priority WBPCs under Category 1 (highest priority) are defined in the Permit as “water body-pollutant combinations for which WQBELs and/or RWLs are established in Part VI.E and Attachments L through R of [the Permit].” These WBPCs include: • SMB beaches for bacteria (wet and dry weather): These are considered Category 1 due to the SMBBB TMDL. • SMB offshore/nearshore for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes (DDTs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)7: These are considered Category 1 due to the USEPA TMDL for DDT and PCBs for SMB Offshore/Nearshore. However, the TMDL relies on a limited dataset to establish stormwater load allocations, relying on a single study (Curren et al., 2011) from a single creek (Ballona Creek, which is outside the Beach Cities watershed area) to establish MS4 WLAs throughout the entire SMB Watershed. It does not present sufficient data to assign MS4 contributions to the DDT and PCB concentrations observed in SMB; therefore, standard RAA modeling for these pollutants cannot reasonably be conducted at this time. Despite the lack of data for RAA modeling purposes, the load-based WQBELs for DDT and PCBs established by the TMDL were set to be the existing stormwater loads (i.e., based on data used in the TMDL, no MS4 load reduction is expected to be required to achieve TMDL compliance)8. Therefore, it is assumed that no reductions in DDT and PCB loading from the Beach Cities WMG MS4s are required to meet the TMDL and reasonable assurance of compliance is assumed to be demonstrated without modeling. Monitoring of these pollutants will occur under the Beach Cities CIMP. 7 SMB Offshore/Nearshore is 303(d)-listed for fish consumption advisory due to DDT and PCBs. Therefore, the fish consumption advisory will be assumed to be addressed by the DDT and PCB categorization. SMB Offshore/Nearshore is also 303(d) listed for toxicity. USEPA's data evaluation showed only 3 out of 116 samples exhibited toxicity (USEPA, 2012). USEPA made a finding in the TMDL that, following the California listing policy, Santa Monica Bay is meeting the toxicity objective and there is sufficient evidence to de-list sediment toxicity. EPA therefore concluded in the TMDL that there is no significant toxicity in Santa Monica Bay and recommended that Santa Monica Bay not be identified as impaired by toxicity in the California's next 303(d) list. 8 The TMDL states, “Because existing stormwater loads from the watersheds are lower than the calculated total allowable loads to achieve sediment targets, the waste load allocations for stormwater in this TMDL are based on existing load estimates of 28 g/yr for DDT and 145 g/yr for PCBs.” These WLAs are further divided among Los Angeles County MS4, CalTrans, the Construction General Permit, and the Industrial General Permit. The assigned WLAs for the entire LA County MS4 within the Santa Monica Bay Watershed is 27.08 g/yr for DDT and 140.25 g/yr for PCBs, which are equivalent to the TMDL-estimated existing MS4 stormwater loads. Page 567 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-8 | Page 2018 • SMB offshore/nearshore for debris: This is considered Category 1 due to the TMDL for Debris for SMB Offshore/Nearshore. Section VI.E.5.b(i) of the Permit states, “Pursuant to California Water Code section 13360(a), Permittees may comply with the trash [debris] effluent limitations using any lawful means. Such compliance options are broadly classified as full capture, partial capture, institutional controls, or minimum frequency of assessment and collection… and any combination of these may be employed to achieve compliance.” While trash was not modeled as part of the RAA, the RAA qualitatively described how the Beach Cities WMG Agencies will comply with the SMB Debris TMDL WQBELs by stating the following: “Compliance with the Debris TMDL will be met through a phased retrofit of all catch basins throughout the SMB EWMP area to meet each interim compliance deadline (20% load reduction per year between 2016 and 2019) as well as the final compliance deadline (100% load reduction) in 2020. Consistent with the Trash Monitoring and Reporting Plans (TMRP) from each of the Beach Cities agencies (Beach Cities WMP, 2014), “vertical insert[s] with 5-mm openings and flow activated opening screen covers are the best suited for implementation within the City to achieve compliance with Trash TMDLs.” To date, data for trash discharges from the MS4 are unavailable for the SMB Watershed. The SMB Debris TMDL can be satisfied through the submittal of the TMRP and the Plastic Pellet Monitoring and Reporting Program (PMRP) or via the CIMP. Trash Monitoring and Reporting Plans (TMRPs) were submitted to the Regional Board by each Beach Cities WMG Agency before the TMDL-specified deadline of September 20, 2012. Additionally, each Beach Cities WMG Agency submitted a request to the Regional Board by September 20, 2013 to be exempt from the TMDL requirement to conduct monitoring for plastic pellets based on absence of industrial activities related to the manufacturing, handling, or transportation of plastic pellets within their jurisdictions in the SMB watershed. A review letter on the draft CIMP, dated May 22, 2015, approved the TMRP and PMRP exemption requests from the City of Hermosa Beach, the PMRP exemption request from the City of Torrance, the PMRP exemption request from the City of Manhattan Beach, and the three year extension of the final TMRP compliance date for the City of Manhattan Beach (LARWQCB, 2015). The Board approved the TMRP for the City of Redondo Beach on May 22, 2015. The City of Redondo Beach request for exemption from the PMRP was approved by the Board on November 12, 2015 [LARWQCB, 2015c]. Monitoring for trash in the City of Redondo Beach, City of Manhattan Beach, City of Hermosa Beach, and City of Torrance will begin in the SMB Watershed in accordance with each Agency’s respective TMRP. Exemption of the Beach City WMG Agencies from the PMRP means that monitoring for plastic pellets within the SMB Watershed will not be conducted by the Beach Cities. “Highest Priority” WBPCs have been assigned based strictly on the Permit definition. Not all of these pollutants (e.g., DDT and PCBs) have been definitively linked to MS4 sources. As a result, this categorization and prioritization will be reevaluated based on results from the future water quality monitoring efforts conducted under the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP). Category 2 – High Priority WBPCs under Category 2 (high priority) are defined in the Permit as, “Pollutants for which data indicate water quality impairment in the receiving water according to the State’s Water Quality Page 568 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-9 | Page 2018 Control Policy for Developing California’s Clean Water Act Section 303(d) List (State Listing Policy) (SWRCB, 2004) and for which MS4 discharges may be causing or contributing to the impairment.” There are no Category 2 WBPCs in the SMB Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area. Category 3 – Medium Priority WBPCs under Category 3 (medium priority) are defined in the Permit as, ”Pollutants for which there are insufficient data to indicate water quality impairment in the receiving water according to the State’s Listing Policy, but which exceed applicable RWLs contained in this Order and for which MS4 discharges may be causing or contributing to the exceedance.” There are no Category 3 WBPCs in the SMB Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area. The Beach Cities WMG agencies understand that data collected as part of their approved CIMP may result in future Category 3 designations in instances when RWLs are exceeded and MS4 discharges are identified as contributing to such exceedances. Under these conditions, the Beach Cities WMG agencies will adhere to Section VI.C.2.a.iii of the Permit and the EWMP will be updated. Figure 2-3 provides a brief conceptual overview of the process used to identify and categorize the WBPCs within the Beach Cities EWMP Area. Page 569 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-10 | Page 2018 Figure 2-3. Process for Categorizing Water Body-Pollutant Combinations Table 2-3 presents the prioritized WBPCs within the SMB Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area. WBPCs categorized below are subject to change based on future data collected as part of the CIMP or other monitoring program. Grouped RWLs for the SMB Beaches Bacteria TMDL are also expressed in the Permit in terms of allowable exceedance days (AEDs), which vary by season and by Coordinated Shoreline Monitoring Plan (CSMP) monitoring station. These AEDs, as revised per the Reconsideration of the SMB Beaches Bacteria TMDL (LARWQCB, 2012b), are summarized in Table 2-4. The final grouped RWLs are effective for dry weather and will be effective July 15, 2021 for wet weather. The CSMP monitoring stations are shown in Figure 2-5.

Page 572 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-13 | Page 2018 Sections VI.C.2 and VI.C.3 of the Permit describes how compliance with RWLs/WQBELs is attained for the prioritized WBPCs identified. Appendix H sets forth the EWMP framework for evaluating and addressing receiving water exceedances and a brief summary is included below. Different actions are required to demonstrate compliance for different types of WBPCs. Specifically; the following classifications are addressed by the Permit: • WBPCs addressed by a TMDL. • 303(d)-listed WBPCs: Pollutants in the same class as those identified in a TMDL and for which the water body is 303(d)-listed (Section VI.C.2.a.i), and pollutants not in the same class as those identified in a TMDL, but for which the water body is 303(d)-listed (Section VI.C.2.a.ii). • Non 303(d)-listed WBPCs: Pollutants for which there are exceedances of RWLs, but for which the water body is not 303(d)-listed (Section VI.C.2.a.iii). For Category 1 WBPCs, adherence to all implementation actions and compliance dates identified in the approved EWMP will constitute compliance with applicable TMDL-based interim water quality based effluent limits and interim receiving water limits. For any Category 2 and 3 WBPCs that are identified in the future through the adaptive management process, adherence to all implementation actions, milestones, and compliance schedules identified in the updated EWMP will constitute compliance with applicable receiving water limits. This approach is outlined in Appendix H. Page 573 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-14 | Page 2018 2.2.3 SOURCE ASSESSMENT The following data sources were reviewed as part of the source assessment for the WBPCs listed previously: • Findings from the Permittees’ Illicit Connections and Illicit Discharge Elimination Programs (IC/ID); • Findings from the Permittees’ Industrial/Commercial Facilities Programs; • Findings from the Permittees’ Development Construction Programs; • Findings from the Permittees’ Public Agency Activities Programs; • TMDL source investigations; • Watershed model results; • Findings from the Permittees’ monitoring programs, including but not limited to TMDL compliance monitoring and receiving water monitoring; and • Any other pertinent data, information, or studies related to pollutant sources and conditions that contribute to the highest water quality priorities. The following source assessment is broken down by pollutants applicable to the SMB Watershed. Indicator Bacteria The SMBBB TMDLs for dry and wet weather were the first bacteria TMDLs adopted by the LARWQCB. The SMBBB TMDLs were recently opened for reconsideration, although the source assessment was not part of this update. As a result, the general findings from the original source assessment remain unchanged. These findings are summarized in the 2012 Basin Plan Amendment for the reopened SMBBB TMDL (Attachment A to Resolution No. R12-007): “With the exception of isolated sewage spills, dry weather urban runoff and stormwater runoff conveyed by storm drains and creeks is the primary source of elevated bacterial indicator densities to SMB beaches. Limited natural runoff and groundwater may also potentially contribute to elevated bacterial indicator densities during winter dry weather” (LARWQCB, 2012b). The SMBBB TMDL source assessment (LARWQCB, 2002) maintained that dry weather urban runoff and stormwater runoff were the primary sources of elevated bacteria concentrations at SMB beaches at the time of the TMDL. Although definitive information regarding the specific sources of bacteria within the watershed was not presented, speculation provided in the dry weather staff report provided some insight into possible sources at the time: “Urban runoff from the storm drain system may have elevated levels of bacterial indicators due to sanitary sewer leaks and spills, illicit connections of sanitary lines to the storm drain system, runoff from homeless encampments, illegal discharges from recreational vehicle holding tanks, and malfunctioning septic tanks among other things. Swimmers can also be a direct source of bacteria to recreational waters. The bacteria indicators used to assess water quality are not specific to human sewage; therefore, fecal matter from animals and birds can also be a source Page 574 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-15 | Page 2018 of elevated levels of bacteria, and vegetation and food waste can be a source of elevated levels of total coliform bacteria, specifically” (LARWQCB, 2002). Information on non-MS4 sources of surf zone bacteria along specific SMB beaches was provided by the City of Malibu in its comment letter on the SMBBB TMDL reconsideration, based on a comprehensive review of local and Southern California source identification studies (City of Malibu, 2012): “A number of recent Santa Monica Bay studies have further identified and confirmed natural (non-anthropogenic) sources of fecal indicator bacteria including plants, algae, decaying organic matter, beach wrack and bird feces – implicating these as potentially significant contributors to exceedances (Imamura et al 2011, Izbicki 2012b). Beach sands, sediments and beach wrack have been shown to be capable of serving as reservoirs of bacteria, possibly by providing shelter from UV inactivation and predation by allowing for regrowth (Imamura et al 2011, Izbicki et al 2012b, Lee et al 2006, Ferguson et al 2005, Grant et al 2001, Griffith 2012, Litton et al 2010, Phillips et al 2011, Jiang et al 2004, Sabino et al 2011, and Weston Solutions 2010). In fact, enterococci include non-fecal or “natural” strains that live and grow in water, soil, plants and insects (Griffith, 2012). Thus, elevated levels of enterococci in water could be related to input from natural sources. The phenomenon of regrowth of bacteria from either anthropogenic or natural sources has been suggested by several studies as a possible source of beach bacteria exceedances (Griffith 2012, Litton et al 2010, Weston Solutions 2010, Izbicki et al 2012b, Weisberg et al 2009).” In 2009, a dry weather bacterial source identification study was undertaken at the Redondo Beach Pier (Los Angeles County Sanitation District [LACSD], 2009). This study implemented a multi-tiered toolbox approach to investigate sources of dry weather fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) exceedances near Redondo Beach Pier (CSMP monitoring location SMB 6-02).). Utilizing microbial source tracking, the sampling focused on the shoreline near the pier, a storm drain under the pier, and ponded water near the storm drain. Investigators found a lack of human fecal markers within the surf zone: “Lack of detectable human viruses and the de minimus quantities detection of human-associated Bacteroidales in the ocean water strongly implied that a human source was not present. Other sources of FIB may include bacterial persistence in the sand and sea wrack, as well as endogenous sea life and birds. Tide, wave action, wind, and other natural fluctuations may be affecting FIB levels at the shoreline monitoring locations next to the pier.” However, the study also indicated that, “…the storm drain under the pier and the pond that forms at the storm drain outlet are probably impacted by human fecal pollution but are not contributing to microbial contamination of the ocean water during the dry season. This conclusion is most strongly supported by the differences between the FIB concentrations and Bacteroidales populations at the shoreline sites compared to the pond and storm drain samples, particularly with respect to human-associated Bacteroidales.” Page 575 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-16 | Page 2018 Another dry weather MS4 microbial source tracking study was conducted in 2010, focusing on two high priority analysis regions (SMB-5-02 and 6-01) within the Beach Cities EWMP Area (Geosyntec Consultants, 2010). Although both of these shoreline monitoring locations are served by low flow diversions, the purpose of the study was to investigate FIB sources to inform identification of new source control measures. Observational results indicated that non-human sources include pet waste, irrigation runoff, and in-drain sources (i.e., re-growth, sediment, etc.). Similar to the Redondo Beach pier study, human Bacteroidales marker (HBM) was also identified in some MS4 dry weather samples, suggesting that human fecal sources may also be present. Although specific sources of human waste were not definitively identified in the study, “sources were surmised to include direct contamination (i.e., illicit connections, RV discharges, homeless deposits), and indirect contamination (i.e., sewer exfiltration).”9 To address the identification of dry weather bacteria sources within or to the MS4s, the Beach Cities WMG agencies have implemented measures to divert dry weather flows from all storm drains discharging at point zero shoreline monitoring locations. A total of seven low flow diversions are operational within the Beach Cities EWMP area. No wet weather bacteria source identification studies have been conducted in the Beach Cities EWMP area to date. Wet weather bacteria sources are believed to be derived from the entire watershed, and potentially include a mixture of human sources, non-human anthropogenic sources (e.g., pet waste), and non-anthropogenic sources (e.g., birds and other urban wildlife, storm drain biofilms/regrowth, beach sands and wrack). A wet weather stormwater monitoring study by the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) investigated bacteria concentrations in stormwater runoff from various land uses in the Los Angeles region (Stein et al, 2007). Results showed that wet weather runoff event mean concentrations (EMCs) for fecal coliform bacteria were highest for agricultural land uses, followed by commercial and educational, single family residential, multi-family residential, open space, industrial, and transportation. In this study, results showed that bacteria concentrations in stormwater are highly variable, with concentrations often varying by one to two orders of magnitude during a single storm, and by up to five orders of magnitude on seasonal and inter-annual scales. Additional local monitoring data will be needed to quantify the contribution of MS4 discharges – particularly relative to the many other identified sources that have been documented along SMB beaches – to the elevated bacteria concentrations measured at Beach Cities WMG compliance monitoring locations during dry and wet weather. Additional data are also needed to identify the sources of bacteria within MS4 discharges as well as their potential to contribute to recreational illness risks; such source tracking data have the potential to affect the TMDL waste load allocations (WLAs) through a future reopener10. And the combination of MS4 outfall monitoring (through the 9 The LACSD and Geosyntec microbial source tracking studies predate the 2013 California Source Identification Pilot Project, which identifies and recommends new, more definitive microbial source tracking markers for multiple source types, including human waste. Therefore new analytical methods may need to be applied to these previously studied areas to verify or update prior findings. 10 For example, if human fecal sources are found to be undetected in MS4 discharges to SMB beaches using a rigorous sampling design, the latest analytical markers, and a credible laboratory, then TMDL revisions may be proposed. Page 576 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-17 | Page 2018 CIMP) and source identification (through special studies) could support future BMP planning and EWMP updates. DDT and PCBs As stated previously, limited data are available characterizing DDT and PCBs within Santa Monica Bay, particularly since direct discharges of these pollutants from publically owned treatment works (POTWs) have ceased. The largest concentration of DDT and PCBs within SMB is contained within the Palos Verdes shelf, which is being addressed by the USEPA as a Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) site. Loadings from the shelf to the bay are large and have been well characterized (USEPA, 2012). With respect to stormwater, the TMDL does not specifically characterize MS4 loadings, though it does recognize that “DDT and PCBs are no longer detected in routine stormwater sampling from Ballona Creek or Malibu Creek.” However, the TMDL also states that current detection limits used to analyze DDT and PCB concentrations are too high to appropriately assess the water quality. Despite a lack of supporting data, however, EPA assumed that stormwater inputs of DDT and PCBs come from urban areas (USEPA, 2012). No other data or source information are available at this time. Once three years of water quality data are collected under the CIMP and evaluated consistent with the recommendations by USEPA in the TMDL to utilize a three-year averaging period, then further source assessment will be considered and the categorization and prioritization of PCB and DDTs as MS4-related pollutants of concern will be reevaluated. Trash Source information for trash within SMB is provided by the SMB Nearshore Debris TMDL. A detailed source breakdown is not provided, but other debris TMDLs attribute trash to general areas such as “litter from adjacent land areas, roadways, and direct dumping and deposition” (LARWQCB, 2008) while also attributing trash inputs to point sources such as storm drains. The plastic pellet portion of the SMB Debris TMDL is not applicable to the Beach Cities WMG, as the respective Agencies have applied and have gained approval to be exempt from this portion of the TMDL. 2.2.4 PRIORITIZATION Based on the water quality characterization above, the WBPCs have been classified into one of three categories, in accordance with Section IV.C.5(a)ii of the Permit: highest priority, high priority, and medium priority (Table 2-3). This categorization is intended to prioritize WBPCs in order to guide the implementation of structural and institutional BMPs. An RAA was performed on the WBPCs in Categories 1, as there are no Category 2 or 3 pollutants in the SMB Watershed within the Beach Cities WMG. WBPCs will be further prioritized based on the applicable compliance schedules, as discussed in Section 4. Page 577 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-18 | Page 2018 2.3 SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES 2.3.1 OBJECTIVES The Permit requires the Beach Cities WMG to identify strategies, control measures, and BMPs to implement within their EWMP AREA. Specifically, the Permit specifies that BMPs are expected to be implemented so that MS4 discharges meet effluent limits as established in the Permit and to reduce impacts to receiving waters from stormwater and non-stormwater runoff. This expectation assumes the implementation of both types of BMPs – non-structural and structural – by the Beach Cities WMG. The objectives of selecting and incorporating BMPs into the Beach Cities EWMP include: 1. Preventing and/or eliminating non-stormwater discharges to the MS4 that are a source of pollutants from the MS4 to receiving waters; 2. Achieving all applicable interim and final WQBELs and/or RWLs pursuant to corresponding compliance schedules; and 3. Ensuring that discharges form the MS4 do not cause or contribute to exceedances of RWLs. 2.3.2 DEFINITION OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES The Permit defines BMPs as “practices or physical devices or systems designed to prevent or reduce pollutant loading from stormwater or non-stormwater discharges to receiving waters, or designed to reduce the volume of stormwater or non-stormwater discharged to the receiving water.” These BMPs may include: 1. Structural and/or non-structural BMPs and operation and maintenance procedures that are designed to achieve applicable WQBELs and/or RWLs; 2. Retrofitting areas of existing development known or suspected to contribute to the highest water quality priorities with regional or sub-regional BMPs; 3. Stream and/or habitat rehabilitation or restoration projects where stream and/or habitat rehabilitation or restoration are necessary for, or will contribute to demonstrable improvements in the physical, chemical, or biological receiving water conditions and restoration and/or protection of water quality standards in receiving waters. Structural BMPs involve the construction of a physical control measure to alter the hydrology or water quality of incoming stormwater or non-stormwater. There are two categories of structural BMPs, defined by the runoff area treated by the BMP: regional BMPs 11 and distributed BMPs. Regional BMPs are designed to treat runoff from a large drainage area expected to include multiple parcels and various land uses. These may include infiltration basins, treatment plants, and subsurface flow wetlands, among others. Distributed BMPs are designed to treat runoff from 11 The term “regional BMP” does not necessarily indicate that the project can capture and retain the 85th percentile storm, as described in the Permit. The term “regional EWMP project” is therefore used for those regional BMPs that are expected to be able to capture and retain the 85th percentile storm. Page 578 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-19 | Page 2018 smaller drainage areas and are normally installed to collect runoff close to the source from a limited number of parcels. Distributed BMPs typically include swales, bioretention facilities, biofiltration facilities, and cisterns, among others. Relevant regional and distributed structural BMPs are described below. Non-structural BMPs prevent or reduce the release of pollutants or transport of pollutants within the MS4 area but do not involve construction of physical facilities. Non-structural BMPs are often implemented as programs or strategies which seek to reduce runoff and/or pollution close to the source. Examples include but are not limited to: street sweeping, downspout disconnect programs, pet waste cleanup stations, irrigation ordinances, or illicit discharge elimination. Minimum control measures (MCMs) as set forth in the Permit are a subset of non-structural BMPs even though some MCMs include measures that require the implementation of structural BMPs by private parties. 2.3.3 INCORPORATED PROVISIONS Permit Section VI.C.5.b.iv sets forth the provisions regarding the types of BMPs that must be considered in development of the EWMP. These provisions are described in more detail below. Minimum Control Measures The Beach Cities WMG has assessed the MCMs defined in the Permit to identify opportunities for focusing resources on the high priority issues in each watershed. The Permit requires the permittees to implement prescribed MCMs in each of six categories/programs: Public Information & Participation Program (PIPP), Industrial/Commercial Facilities, Planning & Land Development, Development Construction, Public Agency Activities, and Illicit Connection & Illicit Discharges Elimination. These measures include procedures such as outreach programs, inspections, and reporting requirements designed to reduce runoff-related pollution within each permittees’ MS4 area. MCMs in each of these categories are already being implemented by the Beach Cities WMG as prescribed under the previous MS4 Permit (Order 01-182), and in some cases MCM program enhancements have been implemented to address watershed priorities for TMDL implementation. Details on the selected MCMs, including proposed modifications to any programs, are provided in Section 2.6.2 (Santa Monica Bay Watershed) and Section 3.6.2 (Dominguez Channel Watershed). Non-Stormwater Discharge Measures The Permit requires Permittees to identify non-stormwater discharges that cause or contribute to exceedances of RWLs, and to then identify and implement BMPs to effectively eliminate the source of pollutants. These BMPs may include measures to prohibit non-stormwater discharge to the MS4, additional structural BMPs to reduce pollutants in the non-stormwater discharge, diversion to a sanitary sewer for treatment, or strategies to require the non-stormwater discharge to be separately regulated under a general NPDES permit. As previously stated, the Beach Cities WMG agencies currently operate seven low flow diversions along the Santa Monica Bay to eliminate non-stormwater discharges. The non-stormwater screening process consists of the steps shown in Figure 2-4. Further details on the Beach Cities WMGs approach to meet this requirement are provided in the CIMP for the Beach Cities Watershed Management Group (Beach Cities Watershed Management Group, 2014). Page 579 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-20 | Page 2018 The watershed control measures proposed for non-stormwater discharges meet the requirements as set forth in Parts III.A and VI.D .4.d and VI.D.10 of the LA County MS4 Permit. The following schedule is proposed to eliminate unauthorized non-stormwater discharges that are either causing or contributing to receiving water exceedances in Santa Monica Bay watershed: • December 28, 2016—Source investigation will be completed on 50% of the major outfalls with significant non-stormwater discharges in the Beach Cities EWMP Area (including outfall SMB-O-7). • March 28, 2017— Outfall monitoring will be initiated as required for the investigated outfalls, based on results of source investigation in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Beach Cities CIMP, to determine compliance with applicable non-stormwater WQBELs derived from TMDL WLAs. • June 26, 2017—Elimination of all significant, unauthorized non-stormwater contributions will be completed for the investigated outfalls. • December 28, 2017—Source investigations will be completed on the remaining 50% of the major outfalls with significant non-stormwater discharges in the Beach Cities EWMP area, (source investigation will be 100% complete by this date). • March 28, 2018—Outfall monitoring will be initiated as required for the remaining 50% of investigated outfalls, based on results of source identification in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Beach Cities CIMP, to determine compliance with applicable non-stormwater WQBELs derived from TMDL WLAs. • June 26, 2018—Elimination of all significant, unauthorized non-stormwater contributions will be completed for 100% of the major outfalls in the Beach Cities EWMP Area. Source investigations will take place in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Beach Cities CIMP. Non-stormwater discharge elimination will be prioritized in Santa Monica Bay due to the fact that the dry weather final compliance date for the Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL has passed. TMDL-Specific Control Measures The Beach Cities WMG has evaluated BMPs that have been previously identified in TMDLs and corresponding implementation plans. Those BMPs that have been constructed are discussed in Section 2.6.4 (Santa Monica Bay Watershed) and Section 3.6.4 (Dominguez Channel Watershed). Other measures identified in TMDLs and TMDL implementation plans were evaluated as part of the RAA process in order to determine what combination of measures would achieve compliance with Permit-specified WQBELs and/or RWLs. Additional BMPs In addition to the MCMs, non-stormwater discharge measures, and TMDL control measures, the Beach Cities WMG has identified additional BMPs to achieve compliance with Permit-specified WQBELs and/or RWLs. These BMPs are discussed in more detail in Section 2.6 (Monica Bay Watershed) and Section 3.6 (Dominguez Channel Watershed) below. Page 580 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-21 | Page 2018 Demonstration of BMP Performance – Introduction to the Reasonable Assurance Analysis The EWMP is a planning document intended to lay out a framework of activities that will comply with water quality requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to demonstrate that selected BMPs are reasonably expected to meet defined goals and objectives. This demonstration of performance is described through a technically robust and rigorous RAA. Through this analysis the Beach Cities WMG identified and evaluated BMP implementation scenarios within the Beach Cities EWMP Area for each WBPC identified in Section 2.2. The RAA process demonstrates that implementation of EWMP-defined activities should result in the attainment of applicable Permit-specified WQBELs, and will also prevent discharges from causing or contributing to exceedances of applicable RWLs. Since the modeling conducted as part of the RAA serves as the basis not only for BMP evaluation but also BMP identification, Section 2.4 is devoted to providing details on the RAA process. Results from the RAA are presented in Section 2.7. Legal Authority The Permit-required legal authority that the Beach Cities WMG has to implement the BMPs identified in the EWMP is discussed in Section 8. Page 581 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-22 | Page 2018 Figure 2-4. Non-Stormwater Outfall Screening Program Page 582 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-23 | Page 2018 2.4 REASONABLE ASSURANCE ANALYSIS APPROACH The following subsections provide a summary of the modeling tools and approach, modeling data, calibration, and validation. 2.4.1 DESCRIPTION OF RAA TOOLS AND APPROACH The approaches for performing the RAA in both dry and wet weather are described below. Dry Weather Demonstrating “reasonable assurance” of compliance with dry weather limits for the SMBBB TMDL requires a methodology that accounts for many factors which cannot be accurately modeled based on urban runoff processes alone (Thoe et al, 2014), despite the extensive summer-dry and winter-dry weather beach-specific monitoring datasets that are available. Therefore, to perform the RAA for dry weather for the Beach Cities WMG area, a semi-quantitative methodology has been developed to follow a permit compliance structure, as independent lines of evidence for demonstrating that MS4 discharges could not be causing or contributing to receiving water exceedances at the beaches. Because FIB are considered the “controlling” pollutants of concern during dry weather in the Beach Cities WMG area (i.e., if MS4 discharges are compliant for bacteria during dry weather, they will be compliant for all TMDL and 303(d) pollutants during dry weather), the methodology was developed to focus on bacteria (Beach Cities WMG, 2014). The following criteria form the proposed dry weather RAA methodology. This methodology was presented to LARWQCB staff on April 9, 2014, and verbal feedback received at the time was supportive. If one criterion is met for CSMP compliance monitoring location (CML), then “reasonable assurance” is considered to be demonstrated. 1. A dry weather low flow diversion, disinfection system, or infiltration system is located at the CML. To meet this criterion, any such system should have records to show that it is consistently operational, well maintained, and sized to effectively eliminate freshwater surface discharges to the surf zone during year-round dry weather days. 2. There are no MS4 outfalls owned by the Beach Cities WMG Agencies within the CML’s drainage area, and therefore MS4 discharges could not be contributing to pollutant concentrations at the CML. 3. Non-stormwater MS4 outfall discharges do not reach the wave wash and thus are effectively eliminated within the CML’s drainage area. For this criterion to be met, supporting records from the non-stormwater outfall screening program should be supplied. Wet Weather The wet-weather RAA process consists generally of the following steps: • Identify WBPCs for which the RAA will be performed; • Identify the MS4 service area (exclude lands of agencies not party to this EWMP such as separately-permitted lands, Federal land, State land, etc.); Page 583 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-24 | Page 2018 • For each analysis region (Figure 2-5), develop target load reductions (TLRs) for 90th percentile year for bacteria in SMB watershed based on LARWQCB RAA Guidelines, limit expressions in the Permit, and critical periods identified in the TMDLs; • Identify structural and non-structural BMPs that were either implemented after applicable TMDL effective dates or are planned for implementation in the future; • Evaluate the performance of these BMPs in terms of annual pollutant load reductions; • Compare these estimates with the TLRs; and • Revise the BMP implementation scenario until TLRs are met. TLRs, as discussed previously, represent a numerical expression of the Permit compliance metrics (e.g., bacteria allowable exceedance days [AEDs] per year for wet weather) that can be modeled and can serve as a basis for confirming, with reasonable assurance, that implementation of the proposed BMPs will result in attainment of the applicable TMDL-based WQBELs and RWLs in the Permit for Category 1 pollutants, or the Water Quality Objectives for Category 2 and Category 3 pollutants.

Analysis Regions and Monitoring Locations within the SMB Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area Page 585 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-26 | Page 2018 Structural BMP Prioritization and Analysis Tool (SBPAT) Model The recommended RAA approach leverages the strengths of the publicly available, Permit-approved, Geographical Information System (GIS)-based model that has already been developed for the region and previously utilized in Jurisdictional Group 5 and 6 (J5&6): the Structural BMP Prioritization and Analysis Tool (SBPAT)12. SBPAT is a public domain, “open source,” GIS-based water quality analysis tool intended to: 1) facilitate the prioritization and selection of BMP project opportunities and technologies in urbanized watersheds; and 2) quantify benefits, costs, variability, and potential compliance risk associated with stormwater quality projects. The decision to use SBPAT for the SMB EWMP RAA in the manner described below is based on the model capabilities and the unique characteristics of the SMB, specifically: 1. Modeling of SMB hydrologic and watershed processes – SBPAT utilizes EPA’s Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) as the hydrologic engine, and SBPAT has been calibrated to local rainfall and Santa Monica Bay (SMB) stream flow gauges, consistent with requirements of the RAA Guidelines; 2. SMB pollutants of concern and their compliance metric expression – SBPAT has been utilized for planning applications related to Bacteria TMDL compliance (and specifically exceedance-day predictions, based on SMB criteria), including a demonstrated linkage of modeled bacteria loads to measured exceedance days; 3. Availability of new open space water quality loading data – Recently developed EMC data are consistent with SBPAT and were also updated to reflect new data developed in SMB as part of this RAA-development effort; 4. Capability to conduct opportunity and constraints screening – SBPAT was designed to support structural BMP placement, prioritization, and cost-benefit quantification, and was previously successfully used for such purposes in the SMB EWMP Group area and other nearby SMB subwatersheds; 5. Characterization of water quality variability – SBPAT is capable of quantifying model output variability and confidence levels, which is a requirement of the LARWQCB’s RAA Guidance; and 6. Supports quantification of both structural and non-structural BMPs, and demonstrating compliance at both interim and final compliance dates – SBPAT’s modeling framework is easily compatible with methods for addressing non-structural BMPs and provides quantitative results for multiple BMP phasing milestones, as required by the Permit. 12 SBPAT is specifically referenced in the MS4 Permit Part VI.C.5.b.iv and was presented at the first two Permit Group TAC RAA Subcommittee meetings. Furthermore, SBPAT has been used for reasonable assurance analysis purposes in the Los Angeles region for four TMDL Implementation Plans, two WMPs, four EWMPs, and, in the San Diego region, for two Combined Load Reduction Plans and two Water Quality Improvement Plans. Page 586 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-27 | Page 2018 The quantification analysis component of SBPAT includes a number of features. The model: • Calculates and tracks inflows to BMPs, treated discharge, bypassed flows, evaporation, and infiltration at each 10 minute time step; • Distinguishes between individual runoff events by defining six-hour minimum inter-event time in the rainfall record (in order to track rain events), while also tracking inter-event antecedent conditions; • Tracks volume captured by and bypassing BMPs, and summarizes and records these volumes by storm event; and • Produces a table of each BMP’s hydrologic performance, including concentrations and loads by storm event, and consolidates these outputs on an annual basis. 2.4.2 MODELING DATA Data used for the quantification/analysis module include both fixed and stochastic parameters. The model utilizes Los Angeles region land use EMCs, USEPA SWMM, USEPA/American Society of Civil Engineers/Water Environment Research Foundation (USEPA/ASCE/WERF) International BMP Database (IBD) BMP effluent concentrations, watershed/GIS data, and a Monte Carlo approach (relying on repeated random sampling) to quantify water quality benefits and uncertainties. Model data flow is provided below in Figure 2-6. Figure 2-6. SBPAT Model Data Flow Each model simulation integrates Monte Carlo methods that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. Model simulations are run 20,000 to 50,000 times to calculate a distribution of outcomes that can support the definition of confidence levels and quantify variability. Consistent with the SBPAT usage, Monte Carlo methods are used in physical and mathematical problems when it is difficult to obtain a closed-form expression or when a Page 587 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-28 | Page 2018 deterministic algorithm is not desired. A schematic of SBPAT’s Monte Carlo process is provided in Figure 2-7. Model documentation, as well as links to related technical articles and presentations, is provided at www.sbpat.net. Figure 2-7. SBPAT Monte Carlo Method Components The spatial domain of the RAA includes the land within the Beach Cities EWMP area tributary to SMB and Dominguez Channel. Adjustments were made to account for contributions from agencies not party to this EWMP (e.g., State/Federal, California Department of Transportation [Caltrans], Industrial General Permit holders, etc.) and are described in more detail later in this document. GIS layers used in SBPAT included, but were not limited to, the following: • Storm drains; • Soils; • Rain gauge polygons; • Parcels; • Land use; and • Catchments. Page 588 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-29 | Page 2018 SBPAT utilizes a customized version of SWMM for continuously simulating study area hydrology and BMP hydraulics. Long-term, hourly rainfall data and average monthly evapotranspiration values are used along with land use-linked catchment imperviousness and soil properties to estimate runoff volumes. Revised and recalibrated SBPAT database values and EWMP-defined BMP information are used to estimate the volume of runoff generated from watershed areas and captured by BMPs. Storm events are individually tracked for the entire simulation so that the volumes of runoff infiltrated, evapotranspired, captured, and released (if applicable) by BMPs are estimated for every storm event. Hourly rainfall data from LAX (NCDC ID45114) were used in the portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area draining to Santa Monica Bay. Hourly rainfall data from a Los Angeles County rainfall gauge at Manhattan Beach (Station ID 1070) was used for the portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area draining to Dominguez Channel. Rain gauges are shown in Figure 2-8. Figure 2-8. SBPAT Rain and Stream Gauges Critical Condition Definition Consistent with the SMBBB TMDL and the LARWQCB RAA Guidance Document, the RAA was performed on the 90th percentile critical year. This year was determined by evaluation of local rainfall records for all four EWMP Groups located along Santa Monica Bay over the 1989 to 2011 period of record, evaluating “TMDL years” as defined by the SMBBB TMDL (i.e., November 1 – Page 589 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-30 | Page 2018 October 31). Of the local rain gauges evaluated, the Manhattan Beach gauge (Station ID 1070) (Figure 2-8), was determined to be the most representative of the Beach Cities WMG area. The rainfall record was analyzed to determine the 90th percentile year based on both the number of wet days (days with >=0.10-inch for rainfall and the three days following, per the SMBBB TMDL) as well as total annual rainfall. Table 2-5 below presents these results. The 90th percentile year was determined to be either 1995 or 2005 based on wet days (73 total). TMDL year 1995 was selected to be the most conservative of these two years because while it is the 90th percentile year based on number of wet days, 1995 also had slightly more total rainfall than 2005. Therefore, the RAA was performed on TMDL year 1995. Although detailed results are only provided for the Beach Cities WMG, the 90th percentile year was determined to be 1995 across all four SMB EWMP Groups (Santa Monica Bay, North Santa Monica Bay Coastal Watersheds, Beach Cities, and Peninsula). A summary of annual rainfall data for the gauge above is provided in Appendix Q. Table 2-5. Rainfall Summary at Manhattan Beach Precipitation Gauge (Station ID 1070) 90th Percentile TMDL Year (Type) TMDL Year Wet Days* Total Rainfall (in) Number of Wet Days 1995 73 22.0 Total Annual Rainfall 2005 73 21.9 *Compliance with the wet weather SMBBB TMDL is based on the number of allowable exceedance days. The priority WBPCs for the Beach Cities EWMP area, combined with data availability, establishes the specific WBPCs addressed by the RAA. As previously described, SBPAT links the long-term hydrologic output from SWMM to a stochastic Monte Carlo water quality model to develop statistical descriptions of stormwater quantity and quality. Through this approach, the predicted runoff volumes for each storm are randomly sampled from the long-term storm event runoff volume record produced by SWMM. Land use-based wet weather pollutant EMC values (see Appendix I) and BMP effluent concentrations (see Appendix J) for each storm are then randomly sampled from their lognormal statistical distributions. The runoff volumes (including volumes treated and bypassed by BMPs), land use EMCs, and BMP effluent concentrations are combined to determine the total pollutant loads and load reductions (i.e., difference between existing and post-BMP load estimates) for each sampled storm event. This procedure is then repeated thousands of times, each time recording the volume, pollutant concentrations, loads, and load reductions for each selected storm event. The statistics of these recorded results are then used to characterize the average daily values as well as the average (mean) values for the annual volume, pollutant loads, and pollutant concentrations in stormwater runoff from the modeled area, with and without BMPs implemented. The IBD is a comprehensive source of BMP performance information (www.bmpdatabase.org), comprised of data from a peer-reviewed collection of studies that have monitored the effectiveness of a variety of BMPs in treating water quality pollutants for a variety of land use types. Water quality performance data from the IBD were used to develop effluent concentrations (averages and standard deviations) for the BMPs and constituents in Table 2-6. As with land use EMCs, the effluent quality of BMPs is highly variable. To account for this variability in SBPAT, effluent quality data were analyzed and descriptive statistics were generated for use in the Monte Carlo statistical sampling technique. Appendix J contains detailed information on the BMP effluent statistics. Page 590 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-31 | Page 2018 Table 2-6.

Water that bypasses or otherwise discharges from the BMP is assumed to receive no treatment. 3 Dissolved phosphorus and orthophosphate datasets were combined to provide a larger dataset and because the majority of orthophosphate is typically dissolved and many datasets either report dissolved phosphorus or orthophosphate, but not both. 2.4.3 CALIBRATION Hydrology The hydrology component of SBPAT was calibrated for the only location in the entire greater SMB watershed where all data requirements (daily flow, hourly precipitation, and daily beach bacteria concentrations) were met - the Topanga Creek subwatershed. No other SMB areas have sufficient data available. The Topanga Creek subwatershed is located north of the Beach Cities WMG area. Since primary output for SBPAT’s prediction of the SMB watershed are annual volumes and pollutant loads, the calibration focused on accurate prediction of annual discharge volumes from the Topanga Creek subwatershed outlet, with estimated baseflow removed. Hourly rainfall data were used for the nearby Lechuza Patrol Station #72 gauge (gauge reference ID 352b, see Figure 2-8, in Malibu, with these data adjusted upward based on an annual rain depth ratio between the higher elevation Topanga Fire Station #69 gauge (gauge reference ID 6) and the coastal Lechuza gauge. Los Angeles County’s Topanga Creek streamflow gauge (gauge reference ID F54C-R) was used to estimate measured annual discharge volumes for comparison with modeled volumes. The effective impervious percentage for the open space land use category and the saturated hydraulic conductivity of all mapped soil types served as calibration parameters. Page 591 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-32 | Page 2018 Previous hydrologic calibration reported in the Beach Cities EWMP Work Plan (Beach Cities WMG, 2014) was refined to include additional precipitation and streamflow data. The refined calibration used a vacant undifferentiated land use effective imperviousness value of 1 percent. The refined calibration required the evaluation of various saturated hydraulic conductivity multipliers that would result in increased model runoff (i.e., each soil type’s original hydraulic saturated conductivity was multiplied by the same value). The calibration was performed iteratively with multipliers ranging from 0.1 to 2.0 until the average annual modeled volume produced an acceptable error value when compared to the average annual observed volumes. A multiplier of 0.20 was selected as most appropriate. Figure 2-9 is a depiction of the refined hydrologic calibration results, including the 0.20 saturated hydraulic conductivity multiplier. The emphasis of the calibration effort focused on accurate, unbiased prediction of “non-extreme” annual conditions (annual volumes exceeding a 25-year frequency, 4 percent probability, were excluded from the calibration effort). Based on available data, the period of calibration was 12 years, between 2001 and 2012, with water years 2005 and 2008 excluded due to outlying streamflow measurement results13. These calibrated input parameter values were used throughout the SMB watersheds in the wet weather RAAs. Figure 2-10 presents these same results in a flow duration curve format, which compares the distribution of annual discharge volume magnitudes throughout the period analyzed between the modeled and observed data. Figure 2-9. Annual Runoff Volumes for Topanga Creek Subwatershed: Modeled vs. Observed. 13 The stream gauge annual volume measurement in 2008 was unexplainably high (corresponding to a runoff coefficient greater than one), and the 2005 year included a 15-day period of near-record rainfall levels that were anomalously high (where the mean annual rainfall depth fell between December 27 and January 10, and major landslides were reported in coastal Ventura County). 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000Annual Modeled Flows After Calibration (acre-ft)Topanga Annual Observed Flows (no baseflow) (acre-ft) Page 592 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-33 | Page 2018 Figure 2-10. Annual Runoff Volumes for Topanga Creek Subwatershed: Modeled vs. Observed (Flow Duration Curve Format). Following calibration, average relative prediction error (or the percent differences between the average annual observed and modeled annual runoff volume) was calculated to be -0.24%. According to the LARWQCB’s RAA Guidance Document, which is based on Donigian, 2000, SBPAT model performance with respect to hydrology as a result of this calibration is in the “very good” category. Water Quality The RAA Guidelines require water quality calibration based on available monitoring data from each analysis region over the most recent 10 years. However, in the SMB EWMP analysis regions, freshwater (i.e., mass emission type) monitoring stations with fecal coliform data 14 are not available from a recent 10 year period. Therefore, calibration that meets the guidelines is not possible at this time. After several years of CIMP monitoring data have been collected, this may be reevaluated as part of the EWMP adaptive management process. Also, since a conventional water quality calibration was not possible at this time, a validation of baseline exceedance day output was performed for the Leo Carrillo reference watershed using recent beach bacteria monitoring results, as described below. The reference watershed was used for this validation because it is the basis of the TMDL Waste Load Allocations, which the RAA TLRs are intended to represent. 14 Fecal coliform data and objectives were used to represent all fecal indicator bacteria because fecal coliform has the most robust land use and BMP effluent EMC datasets. 01,0002,0003,0004,0005,0006,000 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100Annual Runoff Volume (ac-ft)Percent of Results Below Y-Axis Value (%) Measured Data (No Baseflow) - LACDPW Gauge ID F54C-R Modeling Output Page 593 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-34 | Page 2018 2.4.4 VALIDATION A validation step was performed to demonstrate that modeled annual fecal coliform loads are indeed predictive of the compliance metric, or annual exceedance days for fecal indicator bacteria. For bacteria modeling, verifying the linkage between modeled fecal coliform loads (i.e., discharged from the watershed outlets) and total observed wet weather exceedance days (in the receiving water, based on REC1 daily maximum water quality objectives) was critical to establish reasonable assurance that CMLs would be in compliance with the Permit limits. To establish this linkage, an analysis was conducted using shoreline monitoring data at Topanga Canyon15 (SMB-1-18) between 2005 and 2013. Figure 2-11 illustrates that decreasing fecal coliform loads should result in measurable reductions in exceedance days, and that there is a reasonable correlation between total annual modeled fecal coliform loads and total annual observed wet weather exceedance days. Each point shown represents one TMDL year. Figure 2-11. Correlation between Modeled Fecal Coliform Loads and Observed Exceedance Days (each point represents one TMDL year, 2005-2013) 2.5 BASELINE LOADS AND TARGET LOAD REDUCTIONS The process for establishing TLRs for the modeled WBPC (bacteria in Santa Monica Bay) is described in the following section. For analysis regions with SMBBB TMDL CMLs that have anti-degradation-based allowable exceedance days for wet weather, a target load reduction of zero was 15 This subwatershed is 88 percent open space and was selected for water quality validation due to it being the hydrologic calibration subwatershed as well as because it had daily shoreline monitoring data, which was necessary in order to have a sufficiently robust dataset of annual wet weather exceedance days. Page 594 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-35 | Page 2018 assumed consistent with the TMDL’s approach which acknowledges that historic bacteria exceedance rates for each of these analysis regions are lower than that of the reference beach, on average. This assumption of zero target load reduction applies for seven of the 11 total SMBBB TMDL CMLs in this Beach Cities watershed – i.e., SMB-5-1, SMB-5-3, SMB-5-4, SMB-5-5, SMB-6-2, SMB-6-5, and SMB-6-6. Historic wet weather monitoring data (2005 – 2013) at these sampling locations confirm this understanding, as the long-term exceedance rate at all seven sites varies between 6.4 and 22%, below the long-term wet weather exceedance rate at the reference beach (26%). Bacteria reductions were still modeled using SBPAT in these analysis regions, but BMP modeling results were not compared with a target load reduction; i.e., quantification only serves to express the additional water quality benefits of existing and proposed BMPs in these analysis regions. 2.5.1 BACTERIA In order to establish a TLR for each modeled Santa Monica Bay analysis region, a modeling methodology was developed and tested to relate the annual number of modeled calendar days with rainfall-generated runoff (or “discharge days”) to the expected annual bacteria exceedance days, which is the Permit’s WQBEL expression for the SMBBB TMDL. To be consistent with the SMBBB TMDL for wet weather, which established the allowed exceedance day Waste Load Allocations based on monitoring results from the Leo Carrillo reference beach, this modeling methodology was first tested on Leo Carrillo and its Arroyo Sequit subwatershed for the same critical year as the TMDL (TMDL year 1993). The goal of this analysis was to validate the modeling methodology by comparing its predicted exceedance days for Leo Carrillo with the 17 exceedance days from the TMDL, for TMDL year 1993. This analysis occurred in three steps: 1. The calibrated SBPAT model, using the nearby Lechuza Patrol Station gauge for TMDL year 1993 (consistent with the TMDL), resulted in 59 discharge days for Arroyo Sequit. 2. Based on 2003 to 2013 Leo Carrillo monitoring data, 27% of wet weather samples exceeded the single sample recreational Water Quality Objectives on days with rainfall greater than 0.10-in. In other words, 27% of wet weather days when runoff discharges might be expected (i.e., days with rainfall), FIB concentrations at the beach exceeded the objectives. 3. Multiplying 59 discharge days by the 27% exceedance percentage results in 16 predicted wet weather exceedance days for Leo Carrillo for TMDL Year 1993. This result is within 6% of the 17 exceedance days that were determined through the original analysis in the SMBBB wet weather TMDL, thereby validating the proposed exceedance day calculation methodology. After validation of the modeling methodology using the reference watershed, it was applied to all SMB analysis regions to predict baseline exceedance days for the 90th percentile year, or TMDL year 1995. Once baseline exceedance days were estimated for every analysis region, the exceedance day count was compared with allowed exceedance days from the TMDL (i.e., 17 for all non-anti-degradation compliance monitoring beaches). To determine the TLR necessary for each analysis region to meet the allowed exceedance days, a virtual retention BMP was modeled at the outlet of Page 595 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-36 | Page 2018 each analysis region. This approach was presented to LARWQCB staff on June 6, 2014 and verbal feedback received during the meeting was supportive. Each virtual retention BMP included a diversion with a virtual hydraulic capacity that results in in a model-derived bypass frequency (or number of discharge days), during TMDL year 1995 that meets the allowable exceedance day criteria. Each diversion is modeled as a full capture system. The net load reduction resulting from this BMP scenario (i.e., baseline analysis region load minus analysis region load with the diversion system and retention BMP in place) for the 90th percentile year (1995) becomes the TLR for each analysis region. For the RAA, reasonable assurance of compliance is established when load reductions associated with proposed BMPs equal the TLR for each analysis region. In summary, the following approach was implemented to calculate a TLR for each modeled analysis region (see Appendix K for example calculation): 1. Each analysis region was modeled in SBPAT for the 90th percentile year (TMDL 1995). 2. The existing, baseline condition (i.e., without any outlet retention BMP) was modeled for each analysis region, resulting in a mean baseline fecal coliform (FC) load for the 90th percentile year (baseline load). 3. The exceedance percentage of samples collected during days with precipitation greater than 0.1 inches was determined for each analysis region. 4. The allowable number of discharge days for each analysis region was calculated by dividing 17 TMDL allowable exceedance days by the exceedance percentage calculated in Step 3. 5. An instream diversion to a large virtual retention BMP at the outlet of each analysis region was iteratively sized so that it only bypasses during the number of allowable discharge days determined in Step 4. 6. Each diversion and virtual retention BMP was then modeled in SBPAT to produce a mean FC load for the 90th percentile year (allowed load). 7. For each analysis region , the difference between the baseline load (step 2) and the allowed load (step 6) resulted in a TLR for the 90th percentile year, which was the target load reduction required to meet the 17 allowable TMDL exceedance days for wet weather. By implementing the steps described above, TLRs were developed for all analysis regions within the MS4, including both open beach and point zero CMLs. These TLRs are presented in Table 2-7 for both the interim and final compliance deadlines. TLRs for the interim compliance deadlines are assumed to be 50% of the final TLR. TLRs for analysis regions located between two point zero CMLs, but not representing an open beach site, were assigned the TLR of the geographically smaller of the two adjacent CML analysis regions. It should be noted that a zero percent TLR was calculated in the analysis region draining to CML SMB-6-03. This analysis region and CML had a lower average wet weather exceedance rate than the reference watershed based on a recent nine year period (2005-2013), produced relatively few modeled stormwater discharge days, and had few years with measured wet weather exceedance Page 596 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-37 | Page 2018 days greater than allowable exceedance days (i.e., only three of the recent nine years exceeded the allowed days, and each year by just one exceedance day). Similarly, a zero percent TLR was also calculated in the analysis region draining to CML SMB-6-04. The frequency of exceedance at SMB-6-04 (27.6%) was lower than that of the surrounding anti-degradation sites SMB-6-02 (33.3%) and SMB-6-05 (31.0%) and also lower than the exceedance rate of SMB-6-03 (37.9%), which was calculated to have a TLR of zero. Further, SMB-6-04 is an open beach CML with no major MS4 outfall at the sampling location. As stated earlier, nine CMLs with anti-degradation-based wet weather allowable exceedance days were assigned zero TLRs to reflect their historic good water quality. Although the SMBBB TMDL requires only that beach water quality at anti-degradation compliance locations be maintained, the Beach Cities EWMP will seek to implement nonstructural and Low Impact Development (LID)-based BMPs within the SMB portion of their EWMP area which will protect and potentially improve water quality at these beaches and is consistent with the J5&6 Implementation Plan (Geosyntec Consultants, 2011) for the SMBBB TMDL. These measures, though not required for RAA demonstration, are quantified in Section 2.6.3 below.

The baseline load for “BCSump” analysis region was combined with the baseline load of the “SMB-6-01” analysis region to equal the total baseline load contributing to the SMB-6-01 CML (“SMB-6-01+BCSump”). 4 The drainage area to Outfall SMB-O-07 is encompassed by analysis region SMB-6-02; therefore SMB-O-07 was analyzed as part of analysis region SMB-6-02. 5 Average pollutant concentrations are estimated as the total annual load divided by the total annual runoff volume. 6 RAA demonstration is made based on the achievement of the TLR values in terms of absolute load removed by the proposed suite of BMPs in each analysis region. The target load reductions in terms of runoff volume and concentration are shown for informational purposes only. Page 598 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-39 | Page 2018 2.6 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES 2.6.1 METHODS TO SELECT AND PRIORITIZE BMPS In order to demonstrate reasonable assurance, BMPs were identified in a prioritized manner. Prioritization was based on cost (low cost BMPs were prioritized first); BMP effectiveness for the pollutants of concern (BMPs that had greater treatment efficiency for the pollutant of concern in a particular analysis region were prioritized over other BMPs); and implementation feasibility as determined by the Beach Cities WMG. In general, nonstructural BMPs were prioritized over structural BMPs due to their lower relative cost, and then structural BMPs were identified that would likely result in the greatest load reduction per dollar. The RAA was performed according to the following steps: 1. Calculate load reductions associated with existing structural BMPs; 2. Assume a load reduction for non-modeled non-structural BMPs (five percent of baseline pollutant load); 3. Calculate load reductions for public retrofit incentives (e.g., downspout disconnects) and redevelopment; 4. Calculate load reductions attributable to anticipated new permit compliance activities of non-MS4 entities (e.g., Industrial General Permit holders and Caltrans); 5. Calculate load reductions for proposed regional BMPs that were identified in existing plans; and 6. Meet the TLR by backfilling the remaining load reduction with new regional or distributed green streets BMPs, with green streets modeled by assuming treatment of runoff from a percentage of specific developed land uses. The following schedule assumptions were made: • Only BMPs implemented after the TMDL effective date (2003) were included; • Redevelopment BMPs were assumed to use different sizing criteria before and after 2015 (EWMP submittal date), consistent with the Permit’s post-construction requirements; and • Modeled load reduction output are reported for both the interim (2018) and final (2021) TMDL compliance dates. 2.6.2 RECOMMENDED MCMS AND NONSTRUCTURAL BMPS The Permit allows permittees developing an EWMP the opportunity to customize the MCMs specified in the Permit to focus resources on high priority issues within their watersheds. Modifications to the MCMs must be appropriately justified and still be consistent with 40 CFR § 122.26(d)(2)(iv)(A)-(D). A control measure may only be eliminated based on the justification that it is not applicable to a particular permittee (per Section IV.C.5.b.iv.1(c). Customized measures, once approved as part of the EWMP, will replace in part or in whole the prescribed MCMs in the Permit. The Planning & Land Development Program is not eligible for customization in that it may be no Page 599 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-40 | Page 2018 less stringent than the baseline requirements in the Permit. However, it can be enhanced over the baseline permit requirements if desired. The Permit-specified MCMs (baseline MCMs) build upon the MCMs in the previous MS4 Permit (Order 01-182). Although similar in many ways to the previously required MCMs, in most cases the baseline MCMs contain more prescriptive record-keeping and/or implementation requirements. Summary assessments of each MCM contained in the Permit are provided in Table 2-8, as well as a determination as to whether the Beach Cities WMG will implement the MCM provisions as defined in the Permit, or whether modifications will be made. Additional modifications may also be made through the Adaptive Management Process, outlined in Section 5. General Framework for MCM Customization An approach for evaluating existing institutional MCMs was developed as part of the Beach Cities EWMP Work Plan and was used to evaluate existing MCMs and develop the customized MCMs. The following steps provide a general framework for MCM customization: 1. Identify MCMs for potential customization. This may include identifying: a. MCM requirements prescribed by the Permit which are not already being implemented by the permittee; b. Currently implemented MCMs which have been enhanced over the previous Permit as part of TMDL implementation, e.g., Clean Bay Restaurant Program; c. Programmatic solutions/non-structural controls identified in TMDL implementation plans which may not yet have been implemented; and d. MCMs which are currently being implemented but which may be excessive in scope. For example, commercial inspections being conducted of retail gasoline facilities which are already heavily regulated through other environmental programs in areas that have no receiving water impairments for the pollutants of concern may be carried out less frequently, or discontinued indefinitely. 2. Identify MCMs which are not applicable. A control measure may be eliminated based on the justification that it is not applicable to a particular permittee. For example if it is the policy of a permittee not to use pesticides in public agency activities, then there is no need for tracking of pesticide use and this MCM may be proposed for elimination. 3. Assess the effectiveness of the incremental baseline MCM requirements with respect to water quality priorities. The data necessary to quantify this will vary greatly by MCM, but may include information such as: receiving water quality, inspection and reporting records, number of qualifying projects (e.g., number of construction projects greater than 1 acre), number of pet station bags used, amount of material picked up by street sweeping activities, number of employees trained, and maintenance records. Additionally, the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) provides a tool to estimate the effectiveness of stormwater management programs (CASQA, 2015). The tool recommends possible assessment metrics that can be used for various stormwater programs. Page 600 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-41 | Page 2018 4. Quantify the additional resources required to implement the incremental baseline MCMs. This may include estimating additional staff resources in terms of full-time employees, consulting resources, and contracted services. 5. Assess the effectiveness and resources required to implement the customized MCM. The process to quantify these will be the same as the process used to quantify the baseline effectiveness of the existing MCM. 6. Compare the assessed effectiveness and resources required to implement the incremental baseline MCMs and the customized MCMs. Customization can be justified in several ways: a. If the customized MCM effectiveness is equal to or greater than the baseline MCM, customization can be justified. b. If an MCM requirement is not applicable, then elimination is justified. c. If the incremental MCM requires additional resources that are disproportionate to the increased effectiveness achieved, then retention of the existing MCM may be justified. 7. Document the customized MCM justification. MCMs were evaluated based on their effectiveness in addressing the WBPCs specific to the Beach Cities EWMP Area and based on the Beach Cities WMGs knowledge and experience with existing MCMs. In many ways, the Group’s practical experience with MCM implementation over time provides the best insight as to what MCM modifications/ enhancements will be most helpful to target the WBPCs of concern in the Beach Cities EWMP Area. Table 2-8 summarizes the proposed MCM modifications common to the Beach Cities EWMP WMG, which include promotion of Ocean Friendly Landscaping Workshops as part of the residential outreach permit requirement, distribution of a Clean Bay Restaurant Program brochure to promote public education, establishment of a stormwater website for J5&6, implementation of the Clean Bay Restaurant Program as an assistance program for small businesses, and annual restaurant inspection as commercial pollutant sources. The LACFCD will implement the MCMs identified in VI.D.44 of the MS4 Permit with no additional modifications. In addition to the MCM modifications being implemented by the WMG as a group, the Beach Cities WMG has identified additional individual city-specific MCM enhancements, which include organization of educational and cleanup-oriented events, installation of pet waste collection stations as a part of the residential outreach requirement, a ban on plastic bags in Manhattan Beach and polystyrene food containers in Hermosa Beach, and development of environmentally oriented city websites. City-specific MCMs enhanced beyond the 2012 Permit requirements are specified in Table 2-8. Details and descriptions of these enhancements are provided in Appendix L. The MCM enhancements shown in Table 2-8 and Appendix L are examples and are not comprehensive. The Beach Cities WMG agencies’ LID Ordinances and Green Street Policies are included as Appendix M and Appendix N, respectively.

Specific model inputs are summarized in tabular format below. Non-Modeled Programmatic BMPs These source controls include a combination of BMPs such as new or enhanced pet waste controls (ordinance, signage, education/outreach, mutt mitts, etc.), Clean Bay Restaurant Program, human waste source tracking and remediation (e.g., leaking sewer investigations including implementation of each agency’s Sanitary Sewer Management Plan consistent with Statewide WDRs, etc.), enhanced street sweeping (e.g., 100% vacuum sweepers, increased frequency, posting of ‘No Parking’ signs for street sweeping, etc.), increased catch basin and storm drain cleaning, and other new or enhanced nonstructural BMPs that target the pollutants addressed in this EWMP. A combined credit of 2.5 – 7.5% load reduction (average of 5%) was applied for all pollutants to represent the cumulative benefit from these BMPs. Modeled Redevelopment Beginning in 2001, redevelopment projects were required by the Permit (via the Standard Urban Stormwater Management Program [SUSMP]) to incorporate stormwater treatment BMPs into their projects if their project size exceeded specified thresholds. The 2001 MS4 Permit SUSMP redevelopment requirements were applied between 2003 (the point at which the Bacteria TMDL was implemented) and 2015 for the SMB EWMP area. Redevelopment in this period was modeled as flow-through media filters at a 0.2 in/hr design event. The 2012 MS4 Permit established new criteria for redevelopment projects, requiring certain sized projects to capture, retain, or infiltrate the 85th percentile design storm or the 0.75-inch design storm, whichever is greater, via the implementation of LID BMPs. To account for these redevelopment requirements, BMPs were modeled in SBPAT assuming land use-specific annual redevelopment rates for projects that triggered former SUSMP requirements or will trigger the Permit’s LID BMP requirements (Table 2-9). Table 2-9. Estimated Annual Redevelopment Rates Land Use Annual Redevelopment Rate (% of total land use area) Cities of Redondo Beach and Torrance1 City of Hermosa Beach City of Manhattan Beach Residential 0.18 0.31 0.10 Commercial 0.15 0.79 0.38 Industrial 0.34 0.79 0.38 Education 0.16 0.16 0.16 Transportation 2.7 2.7 2.7 1 Regionally developed redevelopment rates were applied to the City of Torrance and Redondo Beach (City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation, 2012). Redondo Beach and Torrance areas used regionally developed redevelopment rates. For Hermosa Beach, the recent 4-year rate for redevelopment of residential areas was used based on city-specific Page 608 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-49 | Page 2018 LID implementation tracking data. The rate of redevelopment in all commercial land use categories tracked by SUSMP was combined to give an overall rate for both commercial and industrial (as that City has very few light industrial parcels), for historical as well as future redevelopment. For Manhattan Beach, a City-specific redevelopment rate of 3.8 percent for commercial redevelopment was provided based on historical SUSMP data over the past ten years. This value was also assumed for historical industrial redevelopment as well as future commercial and limited industrial redevelopment. For the residential land use, because there are insufficient data to project LID rates, a nominal 0.10 percent was assumed. BMPs were assumed to be implemented and to continue to be implemented in the future, at these rates across two distinct time periods: • 2003 (SMBBB TMDL Effective Date) - 2015: The SUSMP requirements, based on the 2001 MS4 Permit, were assumed to be implemented over this period as flow-through media filters at a 0.2 in/hr design intensity (Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, 2002). • 2015 – 2021 (SMBBB TMDL Final Compliance Deadline): The 2012 MS4 Permit post-construction requirements were assumed to be implemented over this period as 50% biofiltration and 50% bioretention. Biofiltration (bioretention with underdrains) were modeled using bioswale BMP types with effluent EMCs set to bioretention and sized to retain 150 percent of the 1-year, 1-hour design storm (approximately 0.3 in/hr)16 because they do not retain all the design storm volume on site (they are flow-through systems), while bioretention units were sized to retain 100 percent of the 85th percentile, 24-hour design storm depth, calculated as the mean for each analysis region. 2015 is used as a transition date since the LID post-construction requirements from the 2012 MS4 Permit are required to be in full effect via local LID ordinances by this time. In order to estimate load reductions associated with these redevelopment BMPs, the land use percentages shown in Table 2-1 were multiplied by the respective land use areas in each analysis region, resulting in an assumed area treated by LID BMPs each year. This area was multiplied by the applicable number of years, since new BMPs are assumed to be implemented each year. The total land use area assumed to be redeveloped for each analysis region was then modeled as being treated by the BMPs described below (Table 2-10) and the total load reduction was quantified. The default design parameter assumptions for the biofiltration redevelopment projects were that the longitudinal slopes were 0.03 ft/ft, Manning’s n was 0.25, hydraulic residence time was 10 min, and water quality flow depth was 4 inches. 16 150% of the 1-year, 1-hour design storm was used per Section VI.D.7.c.iii of the Permit. Page 609 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-50 | Page 2018 Modeled Public Retrofit Incentives These BMPs include programs directed at incentivizing the public to decrease the amount of stormwater runoff from their property, specifically via downspout disconnects. Public incentives for retrofitting existing development were modeled in SBPAT between 2015, when the EWMP will begin to be implemented, and the respective TMDL final compliance date. Public retrofit incentives were assumed to be a downspout disconnection program, modeled as bioswales sized to a design storm intensity of 0.2 in/hr (Table 2-10). The default design parameter assumptions for the biofiltration redevelopment projects were that longitudinal slopes were 0.03 ft/ft, Manning’s n was 0.25, hydraulic residence time was 10 min, and water quality flow depth was 4 in. It was assumed that 10 percent of single family residential areas would be converted to disconnected downspout systems over 2015 to 2021, and that, based on GIS analysis, 38 percent of the single family residential area consists of rooftops that can be effectively disconnected. Therefore, 3.8 percent of single family residential neighborhoods were modeled as treated by bioswales in order to account for public retrofit incentives.

A load reduction was obtained from these areas by simulating treatment plants sized to treat the IGP’s design storm requirement, the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event (0.2 in/hr), with an effluent concentration set equal to the water quality standard (Table 2-11). For fecal coliform, 400 MPN/100mL was used. Table 2-11.

The following sections outline the structural BMPs that were modeled as well as their drainage areas, design details in SBPAT, and any relevant assumptions. Modeled regional BMPs are depicted in Figure 2-13. Modeled distributed BMPs are depicted in Figure 2-14.

The Project, completed in February 2013, utilizes the linear greenbelt parkland that runs through the City to intercept and infiltrate dry weather and wet weather low flows from existing storm drains that intersect the parkway. The Project was designed to reduce the downstream peak flow and runoff volume from the 55.2 acres of contributing developed residential land use while also increasing groundwater recharge and subsequently increasing the effective permeability of the developed area. The 55.2 acre drainage area is part of the 161 acre tributary area that drains to the 1st Street outfall and Santa Monica Bay , which is part of the approximately 205 acres of drainage influencing the SMB-5-04 open beach monitoring site under the CSMP (2004). Analysis Region SMB-5-05 The Pier Avenue Improvement Project captures and treats stormwater/urban runoff from residential areas on surrounding streets and commercial development in the downtown corridor along Pier Avenue (36-acre drainage area). The Project includes drainage improvements for treatment and infiltration of dry and wet-weather flows up to the design storm to reduce pollutant loading at the beach and to reduce flooding. The Hermosa Strand Infiltration Trench project receives runoff from a 76.2-acre, intensely developed mixed commercial and residential coastal subdrainage area conveyed via the Pier Avenue storm drain. The Pier Avenue storm drain was retrofit with a diversion structure and tide gate to direct dry-weather flows and wet weather low flows from the storm drain into a pump well, through a baffle-box pretreatment unit, then into the subsurface infiltration trench 1,000 feet long constructed on the beach adjacent to the Strand. The diversion pump was designed to divert up to 250 gallons per minute (GPM), which is significantly greater than would be required solely to divert dry weather runoff from the drainage area, thereby allowing for diversion of some wet weather flows. Analysis Region SMB-6-01 Three existing regional BMPs were modeled within analysis region SMB-6-01. These include Amie Basin, Entradero Basin, and Henrietta Basin in their post-enhancement state. Since the basins were in existence prior to the 2003 TMDL effective date, pollutant removal credit was not assigned to the basins for their pre-2003 function, rather only the basin improvement design parameters that 1) improved water quality and 2) were implemented post-2003 were modeled. Infiltration rate, depth, volume, and discharge rate of the basins and their extended storage were extracted from Page 616 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-57 | Page 2018 analysis of the stage-discharge curves provided in the Stormwater Basin Enhancement Project Design Memorandum (CWE Corp., 2012). Amie Basin, post-enhancements. Amie Detention Basin is an existing BMP that captures runoff from 409 acres of upstream land in analysis region BCSump, which drains to SMB-6-01. Based on boring test results, the average on-site infiltration rate is reported as 0.0082 in/hr. Due to its limited infiltration capacity, Amie Detention Basin is not designed for the purpose of on-site infiltration. Instead, its primary purpose is to discharge runoff slowly to the downstream Henrietta Detention Basin. The basin enhancements, completed in August 2015 (City of Torrance, 2014), increased the extended retention volume by reducing the permanent pool volume by 25% by creating additional flow paths within the basin. Due to the nature of the basin enhancements, Amie Detention Basin was modeled as a wet pond with extended detention capacity. Entradero Basin, post-enhancements. Entradero Detention Basin is an existing BMP that treats runoff from 436 acres of upstream land in analysis region SMB-6-01 and is sized to capture the 0.75 inch storm. Based on boring test results, the average on-site infiltration rate is 1.28 in/hr. To increase the infiltration capacity, the post-enhancement design project, which was completed in August 2015 (City of Torrance, 2014), significantly increased the infiltration surface area from 0.03 acres to 1.44 acres. Entradero Detention Basin was modeled as an infiltration basin. The basin includes a small permanent pool (1500 cubic feet), the volume of which was excluded from the calculation of total storage capacity. Henrietta Basin, post-enhancements. Henrietta Detention Basin is an existing BMP that treats runoff from Amie Detention Basin as well as an additional 153 acres of upstream land in analysis region BCSump for up to 0.75 inches storm. Based on boring test results, the average on-site infiltration rate is 2.1 in/hr. To further increase the infiltration capacity, recent design enhancements (completed in August 2015 (City of Torrance, 2014)) increased the maximum basin depth from 23 feet to 30 feet, and created additional flow path within the basin. In SBPAT, the Henrietta basin is modeled as an infiltration basin. The basin included a small permanent pool (6900 cubic feet), the volume of which was excluded from the total storage capacity. Page 617 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-58 | Page 2018 Analysis Region SMB-6-02 The Alta Vista Park Diversion and Re-Use Project is located in Redondo Beach and is designed to divert wet weather flows up to a rainfall event of 0.3 inches in 24 hours, collected from its 101-acre watershed. HDPE pipes comprise the approximately 100,000 gallons of underground storage. Excess overflows from the tank go into a 4,200 square feet infiltration bed located under the tank. The Project diversion facilities include structures that divert up to 4.5 cfs of the storm flow through a gross pollutant removal device. Analysis Region SMB-6-03 The Sapphire Street Infiltration BMP consists of a low flow diversion and infiltration bed. The low flow diversion is intended to divert all dry weather flow and wet weather runoff from a storm up to 0.1 inches in 24 hours. The diversion facilities include a structure that will divert up to 11 cfs of the storm flow through a CDS unit. A smaller amount, up to 160 gpm, are diverted to a pump station that pumps the water to two stormwater bioretention filtration units, where it is then conveyed to the infiltration bed. Summary of Existing Regional BMPs The existing regional BMPs, including their location, analysis region, model inputs, and expected performance, are summarized in Table 2-12 and Table 2-13. Wylie Sump and its tributary area were excluded from the RAA analysis because it is an 85th percentile capture project and also does not produce outflow and would therefore have no impact on the TLR or contribute any loads. The Wylie Sump receives runoff from 38 acres of the City of Manhattan Beach, 20 acres of Hermosa Beach, and 73 acres of Redondo Beach. There are no other 85th percentile capture projects in the Santa Monica Bay Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area.

The Manhattan Beach Infiltration Trench site is proposed along a public beach adjacent to a walking/bike path and consists of recreational open space. The project has an approximate infiltration footprint of 2.2 acres and drainage area of 1,600 acres. The storage volume of the project was estimated as 4.6 acre-feet, with an estimated drawdown time of 72 hours. Additional benefits achieved by this project include infiltration to help prevent intrusion of shallow saline groundwater associated with sea level rise in order to protect subsurface infrastructure from corrosion, as well as potential dune habitat restoration. This BMP can also increase public awareness through educational signage. An alternative design (Alternative 2) is for a beach infiltration trench at 80% of Alternative 1 in combination with an infiltration-based BMP at Polliwog Park, which would achieve approximately 10% of the target load reduction needed for analysis region SMB-5-02 and could potentially offset 20% of the required storage capacity of the Manhattan Beach Infiltration Project (Figure 2-15). In other words, the load reduction of Polliwog Park infiltration is equivalent to that of Manhattan Beach Infiltration Trench at 20% of its full Alternative 1 treatment volume. The addition of the Polliwog Park BMP would result in the additional benefits of neighborhood greening, mitigating issues such as the urban heat island effect, and also raising public education/awareness. The construction of a wetland would provide the additional benefit of expanding riparian habitat, and also help mitigate downstream flood control issues.

Proposed Regional Projects, Analysis Region SMB-5-02 Page 622 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-63 | Page 2018 Analysis Region SMB-6-01 Regional BMP Parameters and Criteria Three regional BMPs (and one potential alternative) are proposed within Analysis Region SMB-6-01, as described below, and depicted in Figure 2-16. Park #3. The Park #3 Project was identified as a potentially suitable site for several different BMP types, including infiltration, wetlands, or a detention basin. Park #3 is located northwest of Blossom Ln. and 190th St, and has an approximately footprint of 0.4 acres and drainage area of 1,430 acres. The storage volume of the project was estimated as 87,100 cubic feet. Diversion flowrate was assumed to be 0.015% of the volume for preliminary planning purposes. This BMP would provide the additional benefits of neighborhood greening, mitigating issues such as the urban heat island effect and also raising public education/awareness. The construction of a wetland would provide the additional benefit of expanding riparian habitat, and also help mitigate downstream flood control issues. Hermosa Beach Greenbelt Project. The Greenbelt site in Hermosa Beach was identified as a potentially suitable site for several different BMP types, including infiltration, wetlands, or a detention basin. The Greenbelt is situated between Valley Dr. and Ardmore Ave. and has a potential footprint of 1.5 ac and an approximate tributary area of 1,800 acres. The project storage volume is a function of its footprint. The diversion flowrate was assumed to be 0.015% of the volume for preliminary planning purposes. Powerline Easement. A potential alternative location to the Hermosa Beach Greenbelt Project facility is located south of Herondo Street between N. Francisca Ave. and N. Catalina Ave., within a powerline easement.17 Both potential locations for the greenbelt project would provide the additional benefits of neighborhood greening, mitigating issues such as the urban heat island effect and also raising public education/awareness. The construction of a wetland would provide the additional benefit of expanding riparian habitat, and also help mitigate downstream flood control issues. 17 If this proposed design is to be developed within the powerline easements, certain considerations should be made. To alleviate concerns of saturating soils around powerline footings, and to allow for powerline maintenance activities to occur, stormwater facilities should be installed at least 100 feet from any tower and 10 feet from any pole. Special consideration and increased distances may be necessary when working around “dead-end” towers, or towers where transmission lines change direction. Access road clearance should also be maintained and basin depth must be considered for safety and illegal dumping purposes. Page 623 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-64 | Page 2018 Hermosa Beach Infiltration Trench. The Hermosa Beach Infiltration Trench project has a tributary area of 2000 acres. The project may be designed to reduce downstream water volumes and facilitate compliance with the dry-and wet-weather WLAs allotted in the SMBBB TMDL at the SMB-6-01 CML. If upstream projects (e.g., LID projects) and other City activities are implemented, TMDL compliance may be able to be achieved under reduced design requirements. Additional benefits achieved by this project include infiltration to help prevent intrusion of shallow saline groundwater associated with sea level rise in order to protect subsurface infrastructure from corrosion, as well as potential dune habitat restoration. This BMP can also increase public awareness through educational signage. Figure 2-16. Proposed Regional Projects, Analysis Region SMB-6-01 Summary of Proposed Regional BMPs Four regional BMPs are proposed in the Santa Monica Bay Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area. None of these projects could be feasibly sized to meet the 85th percentile design criteria. However, the BMPs were sized to collectively meet the target load reductions necessary to achieve compliance with the WQBELs and RWLs, in combination with other existing and proposed structural and non-structural BMPs. Proposed regional BMPs, including their location, analysis region, project name, model inputs, and expected performance, are summarized in Table 2-14.

Page 625 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-66 | Page 2018 Existing Distributed BMPs In 2008-09, the City of Hermosa Beach retrofitted the east side of Hermosa Avenue between 27th and 35th Streets with a series of seven filter/infiltration boxes to intercept, filter, and infiltrate low flows conveyed down side streets from the areas east of Hermosa Avenue prior to entry into catch basin inlets on Hermosa Avenue. The infiltration boxes were modeled in the RAA analysis as two bioretention systems due to their infiltration capabilities and combined into two systems (System A and System B) — one system per analysis region SMB-5-04 and SMB-5-03/SMB-5-04, respectively. The City of Manhattan Beach also replaced several downtown asphalt parking lots with pervious concrete. See Table 2-15 and Figure 2-14 for design assumptions and BMP locations. Proposed Distributed BMPs Proposed distributed BMPs, including green streets, were modeled by assuming that stormwater runoff from high priority land use areas can be treated in the right-of-way, and 50%-50% use of biofilters and bioretention. Biofilters (also known as bioretention with underdrains) were sized to 150% of the 85th percentile, 24-hour design storm (0.3 in/hr) because they do not retain on site (they are flow-through systems), while bioretention units were sized to 100% of the 85th percentile, 24-hour design storm depth, calculated as the mean for each analysis region. Biofilters were modeled using bioswale volume reduction and bioretention effluent EMCs. Default modeling assumptions included longitudinal slopes of 0.03 ft/ft, Manning’s n of 0.25, hydraulic residence time of 10 min, and water quality flow depth of 4 in. Distributed green streets were implemented at similar rates (as a percentage of land use area) in residential and commercial land uses. Distributed BMPs were applied at levels unique to each analysis region, iteratively determined based on compliance with TLRs, after accounting for load reductions attributable to nonstructural and regional BMPs. They were applied by assuming treatment of stormwater from analysis region-specified percentages of single family, multi-family, and commercial land use areas, until TLRs are met. These land use and BMP type combinations were chosen based on their ability to result in maximum bacteria load reduction. In order to minimize redundancy of BMP coverage and avoid double-counting BMP benefits, distributed BMPs were not applied in the drainage area footprints of existing regional BMPs. However, they were modeled in the drainage area of proposed BMPs, as long as both were included in the same model run to avoid double counting. Performance of existing and proposed distributed BMPs are shown in Table 2-16. Page 626 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-67 | Page 2018 Table 2-15.

The infiltration boxes were modeled as two bioretention systems due to their infiltration capabilities and combined into two systems (System A and System B) — one system per defined subcatchment. 2Modeled as a bioswale using bioretention EMCs.

Average BMP load reduction results for each analysis region are presented in Table 2-17 below. Detailed results for all BMPs in terms of volume, concentration, and load for each WBPC and analysis region can be found in the electronic data files submitted along with the Beach Cities EWMP. An example illustrating the modeling results of applicable pollutant concentrations at the downstream outlet of the watershed system is included in Appendix K. The values provided correspond to the fecal coliform load reductions attributable to the BMP types at both the interim (2018) and final (2021) TMDL compliance deadlines. As shown, the TLRs were met in all analysis regions as a result of varying levels of implementation of non-structural and regional BMPs as described previously. The interim 50% TLR is met through a combination of nonstructural and existing regional BMPs. It should be noted that if at any time specific distributed green streets or regional/centralized BMPs are found to be infeasible for implementation, alternative BMPs or operational changes will be planned within the same subwatershed and within the same timeline, to meet an equivalent subwatershed load reduction, unless the TLRs or compliance schedules are modified. Because USEPA’s Santa Monica Bay DDT and PCBs TMDL effectively implements an anti-degradation approach to set MS4 WLAs to maintain and protect the receiving waters and meet water quality standards, the existing MS4 PCB and DDT loads from the Beach Cities EWMP Area are reasonably assumed to be in compliance with the applicable WLAs. Therefore, a target load reduction of zero has been set for PCBs and DDT. In spite of the zero required load reduction for PCBs and DDT in Santa Monica Bay for the Beach Cities EWMP Group, the BMPs proposed in this EWMP are expected to reduce sediment and sediment-associated pollutants such as DDTs and PCBs, so the non-quantified but greater-than-zero anticipated BMP load reductions for DDTs and PCBs will exceed the TMDL WLA. Therefore, compliance with the TMDL-based permit limits for DDTs and PCBs has been demonstrated through this narrative RAA evaluation.

The TLR is met through a combination of nonstructural and existing regional BMPs.

Table 2-18 outlines the results of this analysis. Many CMLs have an effective diversion18 such that they are consistently operational, well maintained, and sized to effectively eliminate discharges to the surf zone during year-round dry weather days. For the remaining smaller outfalls a systematic screening conducted in 2002 demonstrated that there was no discharge to the wave wash during summer dry weather from these storm drains. Rescreening of outfalls will be conducted as part of the Non-Stormwater Screening and Monitoring in the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program and will include both summer dry weather and winter dry weather screening. For the CMLs in the SMB Watershed that have anti-degradation based allowed exceedance days for both winter-dry and summer-dry weather, reasonable assurance is assumed to be demonstrated through the basis that the TMDL established their allowed exceedance days based on historic conditions (i.e., no water quality improvements were necessary). If following dry weather outfall re-screening, dry weather reasonable assurance has not been demonstrated by the evaluation criteria shown in Table 2-18, the Beach Cities EWMP Group’s compliance approach is consistent with the Permit requirement to eliminate 100 percent of non-exempt dry weather MS4 discharges. The Group’s implementation approach for achieving this is to use a suite of non-structural source controls (e.g., water conservation incentives, enhanced illicit discharge detection and elimination [IDDE] efforts, and enhanced education/outreach and inspection/enforcement to prevent non-exempt sources of stormwater flow) and source investigations. By eliminating flows, this is equivalent to 100 percent load reduction for all pollutants, thereby demonstrating reasonable assurance of meeting all applicable TMDL limits and water quality objectives in the Permit during dry weather. Elimination of discharges is a pathway for compliance with RWLs and WQBELs in the MS4 Permit (per Section VI.E.2.e.i.(3)); without discharges there can be no “cause or contribute” to receiving water issues. Since the dry weather compliance deadlines for the SMBBB TMDL have passed, this analysis is provided for informational purposes only, and is not intended to support or justify a new 18 The seven existing low flow diversions include Polliwog Park, SMB 5-2 (28th Street), SMB 5-3 (Manhattan Beach Boulevard), SMB 5-5 (south of Pier Avenue), SMB 6-1 (Herondo Street), SMB 6-3 (Sapphire Street), and SMB 6-5 (Avenue I).

Such benefits are described per individual project in Section 2.6.4 and described in general below. 2.8.1 NEIGHBORHOOD GREENING Increased green space can positively impact the aesthetics, and even the property value, of highly urbanized areas. Property value tends to increase when an urban neighborhood has green space or trees in sight (Center for Neighborhood Technology [CNT], 2010). Green infrastructure and green space can also alleviate urban heat-island effects by reducing temperatures by about 5oF through shade and evaporation (CNT, 2010). Urban heat-island effects describe the process by which urbanized regions become warmer than their rural surroundings due to an increase in black top and hardscape surfaces, an increase in vehicular and industrial emissions, and a reduction in shade and green space. Reduced temperatures will in turn reduce both energy consumption needs and the heat and pollution-related risks to human health (CNT, 2010). 2.8.2 WATER CONSERVATION/SUPPLY Stormwater retained in the regional structural BMPs can be reused for irrigation and other on-site, non-potable uses, thus promoting water conservation and offsetting reliance on the potable water supply. Page 631 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-72 | Page 2018 2.8.3 GROUNDWATER RECHARGE Stormwater capture may increase groundwater supplies in cases where BMPs are designed for water supply augmentation and captured stormwater is recharged to groundwater basins that are used as drinking water sources. Green infrastructure allows captured runoff to infiltrate to useable groundwater basin storage. Due to the proximity to coastal aquifers, there may be limited groundwater recharge benefit in the proposed BMPs. However, this design option and potential benefit can be further explored as more site information is collected during the feasibility assessment and design phase for each BMP. 2.8.4 PUBLIC EDUCATION/AWARENESS Public education and outreach engages the public’s interest in preventing stormwater pollution and is achieved most effectively through an understanding of the varying levels of public background knowledge about stormwater management and pollution prevention (USEPA, 2014). Public outreach is a major facet of the public retrofit incentives element of the RAA approach, which is directed at incentivizing the public to decrease the amount of stormwater runoff from their property, specifically via downspout disconnects. Outreach for this incentive may occur in the form of direct conversations, a variety of media, and/or short training courses, for example. Structural BMPs proposed in the EWMP will also serve as public education opportunities in the form of on-site educational materials, such as signage posted at construction and completed sites. 2.8.5 FLOOD CONTROL Flood control benefits can exist in the context of: • Localized flooding, caused by runoff before it enters a drain, causing property damage or traffic hazards. Regional BMPs can have significant impact on mitigating risk to localized flooding issues. • Riverine flooding, occurring when flow exceeds the carrying capacity of the river, resulting in risk of overbank flow. Large regional BMPs will reduce pressure on the flood control capacity of streams. • Coastal Flooding, occurring when local drainage infrastructure is overwhelmed during coast storm surges. Regional BMPs can significantly reduce pressure on local drainage, reducing risk of flooding to low lying coastal neighborhoods during coastal storm surges. Depending on the type, size and location of the BMP, multiple benefits for one or more of the flood control scenarios may be provided. Cities and towns are beginning to recognize that green infrastructure practices provide a feasible and cost-effective alternative that manages precipitation on-site and reduces loads in local storm sewers and waterways. These solutions can not only reduce localized flooding, but can also significantly reduce negative downstream impacts in a way that traditional grey infrastructure solutions are less able to do (American Rivers, et al., 2012). Page 632 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 2 | Santa Monica Bay Watershed 2-73 | Page 2018 2.9 PARALLEL COMPLIANCE EFFORTS During the remaining compliance period, the Beach Cities WMG may also elect to perform special studies to evaluate the SMBBB dry and wet weather WLAs. Various pathways are available to reopen the TMDL and modify the WLAs, including use of microbial source tracking to support a natural source exclusion, and quantitative microbial risk assessment to develop site specific objectives as allowed by the recent USEPA recreational criteria update. Furthermore, TMDL WLA changes are anticipated if the pending statewide bacteria objectives are adopted. The proposed changes for marine water include removal of the total coliform, fecal coliform, and fecal-to-total coliform ratio objectives, changing the enterococcus single sample maximum of 104 MPN/100ML to a statistical threshold value (10% allowed exceedances in a 30 day period) of 110 MPN/100mL, and other clarification and implementation guidance. Through the adaptive management process, the RAA may be reevaluated after any changes to the statewide objectives, TMDL WLAs, and/or Permit limits.

This watershed accounts for 48% of the total Beach Cities EWMP Area, and includes portions of the Cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. Storm drains from the Cities of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach drain through the City of Lawndale before discharging to Dominguez Channel. The City of Torrance’s MS4 discharges directly to Dominguez Channel and Torrance Carson Channel (Torrance Lateral). Collectively, this portion of the study area is hereinafter referred to as the Dominguez Channel Watershed. LACFCD is not responsible for land within the Beach Cities EWMP Area, but does own and maintain infrastructure within all three watersheds. Background information on the LACFCD is provided in Appendix G. Table 3-1 provides a breakdown of the Beach Cities EWMP Area by city and tributary watershed. This section of the EWMP focuses on the Dominguez Channel Watershed only. Table 3-1.

To accomplish this per Permit Section VI.C.5.a, the Beach Cities WMG conducted the following for the Dominguez Channel Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area: 1. Characterize the water quality of stormwater and non-stormwater discharges from the MS4 as well as receiving water bodies; 2. Prioritize WBPCs; and 3. Assess sources for high priority water body. A summary of results is provided below. 3.2.1 WATER QUALITY CHARACTERIZATION Beneficial Uses As discussed in Section 2.2.1, the Basin Plan (LARWQCB, 1995, updated 2011) identifies receiving waters within the Los Angeles region and sets regulatory objectives for these receiving waters. The Basin Plan regulates waste discharges to protect the quality of surface waters for use and enjoyment by the general public. Regulations set forth in the Basin Plan are based on assigned beneficial uses for each receiving water body. Beneficial use designations for receiving waters within the Beach Cities WMG Area are defined in Section 2.2.1 and summarized in Table 3-2 below. Table 3-2. Beach Cities EWMP Area – Dominguez Channel Watershed Water Bodies and Beneficial Uses Water Body MUN IND NAV REC1 REC2 HFS COMM WARM MAR WILD RARE MIGR SPWN SHELL WET3 Dominguez Channel P1 P E E P P E Torrance Lateral2 P1 P E E P P E E = Existing beneficial use P = Potential beneficial use 1 Designated under SB 88-63 and RB 89-03. Some designations may be considered for exemption at a later date. 2 Listed in Basin Plan Table 1 as a “major surface water,” tributary to Dominguez Channel Estuary. 3 Water bodies designated as WET may have wetlands habitat associated with only a portion of the water body. Any regulatory action would require a detailed analysis of the area. The high flow suspension beneficial use, which was approved by the USEPA as a Basin Plan Amendment in 2004, applies to Dominguez Channel and its tributaries. During days on which this beneficial use suspension is in effect, bacteriological objectives applicable to Dominguez Channel and its tributaries are suspended. The high flow suspension applies on days with rainfall greater than or equal to ½ inch and the 24 hours following the end of such an event. Page 637 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-5 | Page 2018 Dominguez Channel Watershed Data Analysis An evaluation of existing water quality conditions, including characterization of stormwater and non-stormwater discharges from the MS4 as well as water quality of the receiving water bodies within the Beach Cities WMG Area, was carried out as part of this EWMP to support identification and prioritization/sequencing of management actions, to the extent possible based on available data. Analyzed raw monitoring data were limited to data collected as part of the Mass Emission Station monitoring program established by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW). No other data within Dominguez Channel were known to exist. Data were analyzed from two relevant monitoring stations: the Dominguez Channel Mass Emission Station (Station S28), located in Dominguez Channel at Artesia Blvd on the Torrance city boundary; and Tributary Station “Project No. 1232” (Station TS19), located in Torrance Carson Channel (Torrance Lateral) within the City of Carson. The ten most recent years of data (2003 to 2013) from Mass Emission Station S28 were used; all available data (2008 to 2011) from Station TS19 were used. 3.2.2 WATER BODY-POLLUTANT CLASSIFICATION Receiving waters for stormwater runoff from the Dominguez Channel Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area were screened for water quality priorities by reviewing TMDLs, the State’s 303(d) list, and recent available water quality data. Each identified water quality priority for a given receiving water body was categorized as a WBPC. WBPCs were classified into one of three categories, in accordance with Section VI.C.5(a).ii of the Permit, and further detailed in Section 2.2.2 herein. Figure 2-3 in Section 2.2.2 provides a conceptual overview of the process used to identify and categorize the WBPCs within the Beach Cities EWMP Area. In order to categorize and prioritize the WBPCs within the Dominguez Channel Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area, relevant TMDLs, 303(d) listings, recent available monitoring data, and water quality objectives from the Basin Plan were considered. Category 1 – Highest Priority WBPCs under Category 1 (highest priority) are defined in the Permit as “water body-pollutant combinations for which WQBELs and/or RWLs are established in Part VI.E and Attachments L through R of [the Permit].” These WBPCs include: • Dominguez Channel for copper, lead, and zinc in wet weather: These WBPCs are considered Category 1 due to the Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters Toxics and Metals TMDL (Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL) (LARWQCB, 2011). • Dominguez Channel for toxicity: This is considered Category 1 due to the Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters Toxics and Metals TMDL. Toxicity was not modeled for Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of toxicity. Toxicity will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. • Dominguez Channel Estuary for copper, lead, zinc, cadmium, DDT, PAHs, and PCBs: These WBPCs are considered Category 1 due to the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL (LARWQCB, Page 638 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-6 | Page 2018 2011). According to the Dominguez Channel WMA EWMP (DC WMG, 2015), relationships between TSS and historical organics were evaluated to determine if TSS could be used as a surrogate for historical organics. As there were significant non-detects in the available water quality data, a relationship between historic organics and TSS could not be established in the available Dominguez Channel monitoring data. Other studies have shown that relationship between TSS and historical organics can exist; however, the water quality depends on the storm event, soil disturbance, and other factors. It was assumed that if water column pollutant targets were met in Dominguez Channel, the targets would also be met downstream in the Dominguez Channel Estuary, which is the receiving water to Dominguez Channel. Sediment-borne pollutants would also be reduced by the same BMPs that are being used to address the water column pollutants. For these reasons, it was not necessary to perform a separate Reasonable Assurance Analysis for the Dominguez Channel Estuary. If monitoring data show that Dominguez Channel discharges are not meeting sediment objectives, a Reasonable Assurance Analysis will be conducted for sediment and the EWMP will be revised accordingly. Category 2 – High Priority Category 2 (high priority) WBPCs are defined as “pollutants for which data indicate water quality impairment in the receiving water according to the State’s Water Quality Control Policy for Developing California’s Clean Water Act Section 303(d) List (State Listing Policy) (SWRCB, 2004) and for which MS4 discharges may be causing or contributing to the impairment.” Aside from those WBPCs already identified as Category 1, the remaining WBPC list can be condensed by excluding pollutants which are not stormwater related (i.e., MS4 discharges are unlikely to cause or contribute to the impairment) as well as pollutants which are already being addressed (directly or indirectly) by one of the TMDLs. Therefore, the Category 2 WBPCs are limited to the following: • Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral) for indicator bacteria. This qualifies as a Category 2 WBPC based on the 303(d) listing for indicator bacteria. • Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral) for ammonia. In conformance with Permit requirements, this qualifies as a Category 2 WBPC based on the 303(d) listing for ammonia. However, monitoring data since 2003 show that all water quality samples at S28 and TS19 meet the freshwater Basin Plan Objective for ammonia. As a result, ammonia will not be modeled as part of the Beach Cities’ RAA. Monitoring for ammonia will occur under the CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to ammonia exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral) for diazinon. Dominguez Channel is also 303(d)-listed for diazinon, although data are not available on the SWRCB’s website since this listing was made prior to 2006. However, as the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL staff report states, the USEPA banned diazinon on December 31, 2005. The Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL staff report (Section 2.6.1) states, "Whereas elevated diazinon levels had been observed concurrently with toxicity in 2002-2005 wet weather samples and therefore diazinon was presumed to be contributing to adverse toxicity results; post-2005 results show no diazinon concentrations above the freshwater guideline. Therefore, it is appropriate to develop freshwater metals and toxicity TMDLs for wet weather; however, the more recent toxicity Page 639 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-7 | Page 2018 results are not attributable to diazinon and therefore no diazinon TMDLs have been developed for Dominguez Channel." Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral data from 2006-2013, which includes 85 total samples between the two monitoring sites, show no exceedances of the chronic diazinon criteria established by the California Department of Fish and Game (0.10 ug/L). Due to the fact that monitoring data since 2006 show that all samples at S28 and TS19 meet the applicable water quality criteria for diazinon, diazinon could reasonably be removed from the State’s 303(d) list for Dominguez Channel and therefore is not included as a Category 2 pollutant for Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral). • Dominguez Channel Estuary for indicator bacteria. This qualifies as a Category 2 WBPC based on the 303(d) listing for indicator bacteria. • Dominguez Channel Estuary for ammonia. In conformance with Permit requirements, this qualifies as a Category 2 WBPC based on the 303(d) listing for ammonia. However, monitoring data since 2003 show that all water quality samples at S28 and TS19 meet the freshwater Basin Plan Objective for ammonia (Appendix R). As a result, ammonia was not modeled as part of the Beach Cities’ RAA. Monitoring for ammonia will occur under the CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to ammonia exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. Category 3 – Medium Priority Category 3 (Medium Priority) designations are applied to WBPCs which are not 303(d)-listed but which exceed applicable RWLs contained in the Permit and for which MS4 discharges may be causing or contributing to the exceedance. The annual monitoring reports published by LACDPW list exceedances of each sampled constituent relative to various water quality criteria, including Basin Plan Objectives (BPOs) and California Toxics Rule (CTR) criteria.20 Raw data from S28 and TS19 have been reevaluated. Aside from the constituents described previously, measured exceedances at S28 and TS19 are summarized in Table 3-3. A single exceedance of the Department of Fish and Game’s chronic criterion for chlorpyrifos (0.05 mg/L) occurred in October 2005 at S28. This exceedance occurred prior to EPA’s December 31, 2005 chlorpyrifos ban. Since this time, 85 total samples from S28 and TS19 have been analyzed for chlorpyrifos and no exceedances have been recorded. 20 Because of some additional water quality criteria used to evaluate exceedances in the County’s annual monitoring reports (e.g., applying Ocean Plan Objectives to freshwater bodies; applying MUN-specific BPOs to potential-MUN-designated water bodies), exceedances were over-reported. As a result, pollutants evaluated as part of this appendix were limited to those pollutants which had at least one reported exceedance since 2003. For pollutants with a reported exceedance since 2003, all historic water quality data from that time forward was evaluated against appropriate water quality criteria. For pollutants with no reported exceedances, it was assumed that LACDPW’s exceedance analyses were accurate.

Details are found in the Dominguez Channel EWMP (DC WMG, 2015). Although data are not currently available to evaluate a linkage between Beach Cities WMG MS4 discharges and these receiving water exceedances, the following WBPCs are considered Category 3 based on the receiving water exceedances described above: • Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral) for cyanide, due to exceedances of the CTR continuous concentration criterion for cyanide summarized in Table 3-3. Cyanide was not modeled for Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of cyanide. Cyanide will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. • Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral) for pH, due to exceedances of the Basin Plan Objective for pH summarized in Table 3-3. However, due to the fact that there is currently no evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of the pH criteria, pH was not modeled as part of the Beach Cities’ RAA. Monitoring for pH will occur under the CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to pH exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral) for selenium, due to exceedances of the CTR continuous concentration criterion for selenium summarized in Table 3-3. However, due to the Page 641 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-9 | Page 2018 fact that there is currently no evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of selenium21, selenium was not addressed in the Beach Cities’ RAA. Monitoring for selenium will occur under the CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to selenium exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral) for mercury, due to exceedances of the CTR human health criterion for mercury summarized in Table 3-3. Mercury was not modeled for Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of mercury. Mercury will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to mercury exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel (including Torrance Lateral) for cadmium, due to exceedances of the CTR continuous concentration criterion for cadmium summarized in Table 3-3. Cadmium was not modeled for Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of cadmium. Cadmium will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to cadmium exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel Estuary for arsenic, due to exceedances of the proposed Effect Range Low (ERL) sediment quality guideline for arsenic. Arsenic was not modeled for Dominguez Channel Estuary as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of arsenic. Arsenic will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to arsenic exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel Estuary for chromium, due to exceedances of the proposed ERL sediment quality guideline for chromium. Chromium was not modeled for Dominguez Channel Estuary as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of chromium. Chromium will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to chromium exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel Estuary for silver, due to exceedances of the CTR continuous saltwater concentration criterion for silver. Silver was not modeled for Dominguez Channel Estuary as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of silver. Silver will continue to be monitored under 21 Water quality results from urban runoff throughout Southern California show average selenium concentrations to be well below the referenced CTR criterion of 5 ug/L. A 2003 study by SCCWRP examined selenium concentrations in runoff from five different developed land uses types. Findings showed that even 90th percentile concentrations for each land use were all below the 5 ug/L threshold, with the largest 90th percentile concentration being 2.9 ug/L from agricultural land (Ackerman and Schiff, 2003).

If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to silver exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel Estuary for nickel, due to exceedances of the CTR continuous and maximum saltwater concentration criteria for nickel. Nickel was not modeled for Dominguez Channel Estuary as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of nickel. Nickel will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to nickel exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel Estuary for mercury, due to exceedances of the proposed ERL sediment quality guideline and the CTR human health criterion for mercury. Mercury was not modeled for Dominguez Channel Estuary as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of mercury. Mercury will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to mercury exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly. • Dominguez Channel Estuary for thallium, due to exceedances of the CTR human health criterion for thallium. Thallium was not modeled for Dominguez Channel Estuary as part of the RAA due to the fact that there is currently a lack of evidence supporting a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of thallium. Thallium will continue to be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP. If future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to thallium exceedances in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised accordingly.

Page 648 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-16 | Page 2018 The Beach Cities WMG agencies understand that data collected as part of their approved CIMP may result in future Category 3 designations in instances when RWLs are exceeded and MS4 discharges are identified as contributing to such exceedances. Under these conditions, the Beach Cities WMG agencies will adhere to Section VI.C.2.a.iii of the Permit. Sections VI.C.2 and VI.C.3 of the Permit describe how compliance with RWLs and WQBELs is attained for the prioritized WBPCs identified. Appendix H sets forth the EWMP framework for evaluating and addressing receiving water exceedances and a brief summary is included below. Different actions are required to demonstrate compliance for different types of WBPCs. Specifically; the following classifications are addressed by the Permit: • WBPCs Addressed by a TMDL; • 303(d)-listed WBPCs: Pollutants in the same class as those identified in a TMDL and for which the water body is 303(d)-listed (Section VI.C.2.a.i), and pollutants not in the same class as those identified in a TMDL, but for which the water body is 303(d)-listed (Section VI.C.2.a.ii); and • Non 303(d)-listed WBPCs: Pollutants for which there are exceedances of RWLs, but for which the water body is not 303(d)-listed (Section VI.C.2.a.iii). For WBPCs already addressed by a TMDL, adherence to all requirements and compliance dates as set forth in the approved EWMP will constitute compliance with applicable interim TMDL-based water quality based effluent limits and interim receiving water limits. 303(d)-listed WBPCs are equivalent to the identified Category 2 combinations. For any Category 2 and 3 WBPCs that are identified in the future through the adaptive management process, adherence to all implementation actions, milestones, and compliance schedules identified in the updated EWMP will constitute compliance with applicable receiving water limits. This approach is outlined in Appendix H. Category 2 and 3 parameters will also be monitored under the Beach Cities’ CIMP and if future monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities’ MS4s may cause or contribute to exceedances of these pollutants in the receiving water, the EWMP will be revised to address these pollutants. 3.2.3 SOURCE ASSESSMENT The following data sources have been reviewed as part of the source assessment for the WBPCs listed previously: • Findings from the Permittees’ IC/ID Programs; • Findings from the Permittees’ Industrial/Commercial Facilities Programs; • Findings from the Permittees’ Development Construction Programs; • Findings from the Permittees’ Public Agency Activities Programs; • TMDL source investigations; • Watershed model results; • Findings from the Permittees’ monitoring programs, including but not limited to TMDL compliance monitoring and receiving water monitoring; and Page 649 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-17 | Page 2018 • Any other pertinent data, information, or studies related to pollutant sources and conditions that contribute to the highest water quality priorities. Since sources of pollutants for the various water bodies within the Beach Cities WMG Area are essentially identical based on similarity of land uses (e.g., sources of trash within SMB Watershed and Dominguez Channel Watershed are believed to be the same), the following source assessment is broken down by pollutants applicable to the Dominguez Channel Watershed. Copper, Lead, and Zinc The Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL (which applies to wet weather only) provides general information on sources of metals within the Dominguez Channel Watershed, but does not provide a detailed source assessment. The TMDL states that “the major pollutant sources of metals into Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral freshwaters are stormwater and urban runoff discharges. Nonpoint sources include atmospheric deposition” (LARWQCB and USEPA, 2011). SCCWRP conducted a detailed study of various wet weather pollutants throughout the Los Angeles region, including Dominguez Channel (Stein et al., 2007). They found that industrial land use sites contributed a substantially higher flux of copper and zinc compared to other land uses evaluated, followed by agriculture, recreational, transportation (for copper), and high density residential (for zinc). Wet weather EMCs for copper and zinc, based on the Los Angeles County land use EMC dataset (Geosyntec Consultants, 2012) were similar to SCCWRP’s findings, showing that the highest runoff concentrations are expected from industrial, transportation, and commercial land uses, excluding agriculture. With respect to copper, research has shown that brake pads are a significant source of copper in urban stormwater (TDC Environmental, 2013). Copper and other pollutants are deposited on roads and other impervious surfaces and then transported to aquatic habitats via stormwater runoff. Pollutant loads of copper from urban land uses is expected to decrease due to Senate Bill (SB) 346 which was signed into law on September 25, 2010. This legislation phases out copper in vehicle brake pads over a period of years; milestones include the following dates: • January 1, 2021: Limits the use of copper in motor vehicle brake pads to no more than five percent by weight; and • January 1, 2025: Limits the use of copper in motor vehicle brake pads to no more than 0.5 percent by weight. A separate study focusing on zinc showed that the major sources of zinc in urban runoff are outdoor zinc surfaces (including galvanized surfaces) and tire wear debris (TDC Environmental, 2013). For lead, SCCWRP found that the greatest land use contributors were agricultural (minimal in Dominguez Channel Watershed), high density residential, and recreational (horse) land uses (Stein et al., 2007). Based on the Los Angeles County land use EMC dataset (Geosyntec Consultants, 2012), the highest lead contributing land uses are agriculture, industrial, commercial, and single family residential. Lead was also formerly used as an additive in gasoline and is still used in general aviation gasoline (Avgas) for small piston-engine aircraft. According to Federal Aviation Page 650 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-18 | Page 2018 Administration (FAA), Avgas emissions are the largest contribution to relatively low levels of lead emission in the U.S. (FAA, 2015). This has contributed to the contamination of some soils near highways and streets and in drainage ways in urban areas. Exhaust particulates, fluid losses, drips, spills, and mechanical wear products continue to contribute lead to street dust. For both copper and lead, the SCCWRP and Los Angeles County datasets indicate that average EMCs exceed applicable CTR continuous concentration criteria for each land use sampled. For zinc, some land uses (single family residential, education, and vacant) have average EMCs below the CTR continuous concentration criterion, while others (commercial, industrial, transportation, multi-family residential, and agriculture) exceed this criterion. These land use EMC datasets were used to support BMP placement as part of the RAA. Toxicity As is the case with metals, the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL does not provide a detailed source assessment for toxicity within the Dominguez Channel Watershed, nor is a linkage provided to other specific surrogate pollutants, such as total suspended solids or dissolved metals. The source assessment simply states that “the major sources of organo-chlorine pesticides [and] PCBs…into Dominguez Channel are stormwater and urban runoff discharges. Nonpoint sources include atmospheric deposition and fluxes from contaminated sediments into the overlying water” (LARWQCB and USEPA, 2011). Pesticides are used in urban settings for structural pest control, landscape maintenance (parks, golf courses, cemeteries, and right-of-ways), vector control, and public health pest control. Two specific pesticides, diazinon and chlorpyrifos, were banned by the USEPA on December 31, 2005. As a result, mass emission monitoring at S28 has resulted in no measured exceedance of the 1 toxicity unit criteria for chlorpyrifos or diazinon in Dominguez Channel since 2006. Similarly, both DDT and PCBs were banned from general production and use in the 1970s, resulting in the elimination of direct discharges of these chemicals to Dominguez Channel, SMB, and other local surface water bodies, except from legacy sources. Additional sources of toxicity within the Dominguez Channel Watershed are unknown at this time. Therefore, toxicity monitoring will be conducted under the Beach Cities CIMP to help assess if MS4 discharges are causing or contributing toxicity exceedances in Dominguez Channel. In addition, a toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) will be performed as necessary to identify the compound(s) responsible for any observed toxicity. Indicator Bacteria Although the Dominguez Channel is 303(d) listed for indicator bacteria, a bacteria TMDL has not yet been developed for the watershed. The source assessment for indicator bacteria within the Santa Monica Bay watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area is provided in Section 2.2.3, and many of these urban anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic sources apply to the Dominguez Channel portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area as well. Page 651 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-19 | Page 2018 Additional local monitoring data will be needed to quantify the contribution of MS4 discharges – particularly relative to the many other identified non-anthropogenic sources that have been documented. Additional data are also needed to identify the sources of bacteria within MS4 discharges as well as their potential to contribute to recreational illness risks; such source tracking data have the potential to affect the TMDL WLAs through a future reopener. For example, if human fecal sources are found to be undetected in MS4 discharges to Dominguez Channel using a rigorous sampling design, the latest analytical markers, and a credible laboratory, then TMDL revisions may be proposed. And the combination of MS4 outfall monitoring (through the CIMP) and source identification (through special studies) will be essential to support future BMP planning and EWMP updates. Ammonia Monitoring data since 2003 show that all water quality samples at S28 and TS19 meet the freshwater Basin Plan Objective for ammonia. Because ammonia does not exceed water quality standards, a source assessment has not been completed at this time. Generally, ammonia enters urban creeks via anthropogenic sources or discharges such as municipal effluent discharges, agricultural runoff, and natural sources such as nitrogen fixation, the excretion of nitrogenous wastes from animals, and runoff from agricultural lands (USEPA, 2013a). Diazinon Dominguez Channel and Torrance Lateral data from 2006-2013, which includes 85 total samples between the two monitoring sites, show no exceedances of the chronic diazinon criteria established by the California Department of Fish and Game (0.10 ug/L). No diazinon TMDLs have been developed at this time. Due to the fact that monitoring data since 2006 show that all samples at S28 and TS19 meet the applicable water quality criteria for diazinon, a source assessment has not been completed at this time. Generally, diazinon in urban creeks may be attributed to urban runoff that contains pesticides as a result of such activities as application by businesses and individuals who apply them for structural pest control, landscape maintenance, agricultural, and other pest management purposes (Werner, et al., 2002). 3.2.4 PRIORITIZATION Based on the water quality characterization above, the WBPCs have been classified into one of three categories, in accordance with Section IV.C.5(a)ii of the Permit: highest priority, high priority, and medium priority (Table 3-4). This categorization is intended to prioritize WBPCs in order to guide the implementation of structural and institutional BMPs. An RAA was performed on the WBPCs in Categories 1 and 2. WBPCs will be further prioritized based on the applicable compliance schedules, as discussed in Section 4. Page 652 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-20 | Page 2018 3.3 SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES 3.3.1 OBJECTIVES The Permit requires the Beach Cities WMG to identify strategies, control measures, and BMPs to implement within their EWMP area. Specifically, the Permit specifies that BMPs are expected to be implemented so that MS4 discharges meet effluent limits as established in the Permit and to reduce impacts to receiving waters from stormwater and non-stormwater runoff. This expectation assumes the implementation of both types of BMPs – non-structural and structural – by the Beach Cities WMG. The objectives of selecting and incorporating BMPs into the Beach Cities EWMP include: 1. Preventing and/or eliminating non-stormwater discharges to the MS4 that are a source of pollutants from the MS4 to receiving waters; 2. Achieving all applicable interim and final WQBELs and/or RWLs pursuant to corresponding compliance schedules; and 3. Ensuring that discharges form the MS4 do not cause or contribute to exceedances of RWLs. 3.3.2 DEFINITION OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES See Section 2.3.2. 3.3.3 INCORPORATED PROVISIONS Minimum Control Measures See Section 2.3.3. Non-Stormwater Discharge Measures The Permit requires Permittees to identify non-stormwater discharges that cause or contribute to exceedances of RWLs, and to then identify and implement BMPs to effectively eliminate the source of pollutants. These BMPs may include measures to prohibit non-stormwater discharge to the MS4, additional structural BMPs to reduce pollutants in the non-stormwater discharge, diversion to a sanitary sewer for treatment, or strategies to require the non-stormwater discharge to be separately regulated under a general NPDES permit. In contrast to Santa Monica Bay, Dominguez Channel Watershed does not have low flow diversions; however, within the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach, the implementation of two regional BMPs at both outlets from the EWMP area (see Section 3.6.4) will control dry weather flows by capturing the small flows in the pre-treatment volume and either retaining them or treating them in the media filter. In addition, the cities each have water conservation ordinances which include elimination of irrigation overspray. The non-stormwater screening process consists of the steps shown in Figure 2-4. Further details on the Beach Cities WMGs’ approach to meet this requirement are provided in the CIMP for the Beach Cities Watershed Management Group (Beach Cities Watershed Management Group, 2014). The watershed control measures proposed within Dominguez Channel that are expected to Page 653 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-21 | Page 2018 eliminate non-stormwater discharges meet the requirements as set forth in Parts III.A and VI.D.4.d and VI.D.10 of the LA County MS4 Permit. The following schedule is proposed to eliminate unauthorized non-stormwater discharges that are either causing or contributing to receiving water exceedances in Dominguez Channel Watershed: • December 2023: 50% volume reduction of significant non-stormwater discharges. • December 2025: 100% elimination of all significant non-stormwater contributions. Since there is no bacteria TMDL for Dominguez Channel, the final compliance date for dry weather bacteria was selected to be consistent with the draft TMDL for indicator bacteria in the San Gabriel River, Estuary and Tributaries, adopted by the LARWQCB in 2015, which requires that compliance is achieved with applicable MS4 WLAs 10 years after the effective date of the TMDL (Water Quality Control Plan, Attachment A to Resolution No. R15-0xx, adopted by the RWQCB in 2015). TMDL-Specific Control Measures See Section 2.3.3. Additional BMPs See Section 2.3.3. Demonstration of BMP Performance – Introduction to the Reasonable Assurance Analysis See Section 2.3.3. Legal Authority The Permit-required legal authority that the Beach Cities WMG has to implement the BMPs identified in the EWMP is discussed in Section 8. 3.4 REASONABLE ASSURANCE ANALYSIS APPROACH The general approach used for Dominguez Channel is described below with references to relevant portions of Section 2 where the approaches or data used in the Santa Monica Bay Watershed are similar (e.g., for calculating bacteria TLRs). 3.4.1 DESCRIPTION OF RAA TOOLS AND APPROACH The approaches for performing the RAA in both dry and wet weather are described below. Dry Weather For the purposes of the dry weather RAA, the EWMP area draining to Dominguez Channel was combined into a single analysis region, for which bacteria was the only applicable dry weather WBPC specific to both Dominguez Channel and Dominguez Channel Estuary and total lead, copper, and zinc were dry weather WBPCs specific to Dominguez Channel Estuary. Page 654 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-22 | Page 2018 The Beach Cities WMG dry weather compliance approach for Dominguez Channel and subsequently Dominguez Channel Estuary is to eliminate non-exempt dry weather MS4 discharges using a suite of non-structural source controls (e.g., water conservation incentives, enhanced IDDE efforts, and enhanced education/outreach and inspection/enforcement to prevent sources of non-stormwater flow), source investigations following dry weather outfall screening, and structural BMPs that are primarily designed to support wet weather reasonable assurance demonstration. If monitoring shows that this combination of nonstructural and structural BMPs does not eliminate non-exempt dry weather flows, additional measures such as low flow diversion to sanitary sewers will be constructed as necessary so that dry weather flows are eliminated. By eliminating dry weather flows, this is equivalent to 100% load reduction for all pollutants, thereby demonstrating reasonable assurance of meeting all applicable Permit limitations during dry weather. Elimination of discharges is a pathway for compliance with RWLs and WQBELs in the MS4 permit (per section VI.E.2.e.i.(3)); without discharges there can be no “cause or contribute” to receiving water issues. Wet Weather The modeled wet-weather RAA applied in the Dominguez Channel watershed consists generally of the following steps: • Identify WBPCs for which the RAA will be performed; • Identify the MS4 service area (exclude lands of agencies not party to this EWMP such as Federal land, State land, etc.); • For each analysis region, develop TLRs for the critical condition; • Identify structural and non-structural BMPs that were either implemented after applicable TMDL effective dates or are planned for implementation in the future; • Evaluate the performance of these BMPs in terms of annual pollutant load reductions; • Compare these estimates with the TLRs; and • Revise the BMP implementation scenario until TLRs are met. For the purposes of the wet weather RAA, the EWMP area draining to Dominguez Channel was combined into a single analysis region to establish TLRs and into two analysis regions, one including the portion of the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach (Dominguez Channel – Redondo Beach/Manhattan Beach [DC-RB/MB]) and one including the portion of the City of Torrance (DC – Torrance), to evaluate the performance of BMPs. The Dominguez Channel Watershed analysis regions are shown in Figure 3-3. Page 655 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-23 | Page 2018 Figure 3-3. Analysis Regions within the Dominguez Channel Watershed portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area Page 656 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-24 | Page 2018 In general, the approach, including model selection, data inputs, critical condition selection (90th percentile year for bacteria and 90th percentile load day for metals), calibration performance criteria, and output types have been selected for consistency with the LARWQCB RAA Guidance Document (LARWQCB, 2014) and to leverage previous efforts where relevant models have already been developed. Previous efforts include the development of a Loading Simulation Program C++ (LSPC) model for the LACFCD in connection with Watershed Management Modeling System (WMMS). LSPC is a publically available watershed model that was developed for the LACFCD in connection with WMMS. This model uses Hydrologic Simulation Program Fortran (HSPF) algorithms to simulate hydrology, sediment transport, water quality on land, and fate and transport within streams. GIS is used for the spatial component of the analysis in addition to visualization. The LSPC model used for the RAA was recently calibrated by CWE to stream gauge S28 which receives runoff from almost all of the Dominguez Channel Watershed. To leverage these previous calibration efforts, the portion of the LSPC model within the Dominguez Channel Watershed EWMP Area was used to calibrate SBPAT’s hydrology. SBPAT was used to establish all TLRs in the Dominguez Channel Watershed. SBPAT was also used to perform the RAA for the portion of the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach within the Dominguez Channel Watershed. The RAA for the portion of the City of Torrance within the Dominguez Channel Watershed was performed using SWMM to determine baseline loading and static spreadsheet-based calculations based on a literature review to estimate load reductions from the proposed BMPs. The SWMM model used for baseline loading was calibrated using the recently calibrated LSPC model. Table 3-5 below summarizes the TLR and RAA models used across the Dominguez Channel Watershed for this EWMP. These models are discussed in more detail below. Table 3-5.

In instances where critical conditions were not explicitly defined in the Permit (e.g., a critical condition of “wet weather” without an associated rainfall or flow-based criterion), steps were taken to establish a link between the expressed Permit limit and the modeled pollutant concentrations and loads (i.e., rainfall, runoff, and pollutant concentrations in the runoff). Table 3-6 summarizes these steps for the modeled WBPC in the Dominguez Channel Watershed with a Permit-established limit. According to the Dominguez Channel WMA EWMP (DC WMG, 2015), Page 657 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-25 | Page 2018 relationships between TSS and historical organics were evaluated to determine if TSS could be used as a surrogate for historical organics. As there were significant non-detects in the available water quality data, a relationship between historic organics and TSS could not be established in the available Dominguez Channel monitoring data. Other studies have shown that relationship between TSS and historical organics can exist; however, the water quality depends on the storm event, soil disturbance, and other factors. It was assumed that if water column pollutant targets were met in Dominguez Channel, the targets would also be met downstream in the Dominguez Channel Estuary, which is the receiving water to Dominguez Channel. Sediment-borne pollutants would also be reduced by the same BMPs that are being used to address the water column pollutants. For these reasons, it was not necessary to perform a separate Reasonable Assurance Analysis for the Dominguez Channel Estuary. If monitoring data show that Dominguez Channel discharges are not meeting sediment objectives, a Reasonable Assurance Analysis will be conducted for sediment and the EWMP will be revised accordingly. Because no evidence currently exists to support a linkage between ongoing MS4 discharges and exceedances of toxicity, mercury, cadmium, cyanide, selenium, or pH in Dominguez Channel, these pollutants were not modeled as part of this analysis. Table 3-6. Wet Weather Permit Limits (Final Compliance Limits for Modeled Pollutants) Pollutant RWL/WQBEL from the Permit or Assumed Based on Other Similar Los Angeles Region TMDLs Approach for Applying the Critical Period Fecal Coliform 19% allowed exceedance of the REC-1 water quality objective, (400 MPN/100mL) on non-high flow suspension days2. 90th percentile year (based on wet days1) was used as the critical condition. Allowable number of wet weather exceedance days for the critical year was set to % of non-high flow suspension wet days, rounding down. Total Copper WQBEL= 9.7 ug/L *Daily Volume3 90th percentile daily load during wet weather was used as the critical condition. This calendar day was identified for each metal by ranking daily metal loads for wet days1 between 2003 and 2012. Total Lead WQBEL= 42.7 ug/L *Daily Volume3 Total Zinc WQBEL= 69.7 ug/L *Daily Volume3 1 For bacteria, wet days were defined as days with 0.1” or greater of rainfall plus the next three days. For metals, the TMDL defines wet weather as days in which the maximum daily flow at the S-28 gauge on Dominguez Channel is 63 cfs or greater; for the purpose of this RAA, this was assumed to equate to days in which the SBPAT model (which responds to rainfall events greater than 0.1”, had a non-zero flow). 2 High Flow Suspension days are defined based on the criteria used in bacteria TMDLs in the region in which days in which 0.5” or greater of rainfall occurs, and the day following such an event, are both high flow suspension days. 3 The MS4 permit provides both the concentration-based effluent limitations above as well as load based limitations on page N-6 which come from the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL. The load-based limitations are based on multiplying the metal concentration-based limitations by the runoff volume on the 90th percentile day. However, the TMDL does not provide quantitative load-based effluent limitations, but instead states that the WLAs are the water quality effluent target multiplied by the daily flow volume. The MS4 permit states that the load-based limitations can be recalculated based on the flow volume at the time of sampling. Therefore, the load-based effluent limitations will change based on the daily flow volume, so the WQBEL is written to account for flow variability. Page 658 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-26 | Page 2018 Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach (DC-RB/MB Analysis Region). SBPAT was used for the portion of the Dominguez Channel Watershed within the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach to evaluate BMP scenarios and demonstrate reasonable assurance of achieving applicable Permit limits. SBPAT was used in the same capacity for the Santa Monica Bay watershed and is described in detail in Section 2.4.1 above. City of Torrance (DC-Torrance Analysis Region). In general, the RAA approach used within the City of Torrance portion of the Dominguez Channel Watershed was conducted using static spreadsheet calculations coupled with a literature review on the performance of catch basin inlet filters to determine reasonable removal percentages for metals and bacteria. 3.4.2 MODELING DATA The critical condition definition and a summary of data associated with the models used in the RAA are described below. Critical Condition Definition Bacteria. Consistent with all existing Los Angeles region bacteria TMDLs for freshwater bodies, as well as the LARWQCB RAA Guidance (LARWQCB, 2014), the RAA for bacteria was performed on the 90th percentile critical wet year in the Dominguez Channel Watershed. This was determined in the same manner as the Santa Monica Bay portion of the EWMP area as described in Section 2.4.2 using the same rain gauge and the same period of record. The 90th percentile TMDL year (Nov 1-Oct 31), based on the number of wet days based on gage D1070 was determined to be 1995 (see Appendix Q). Metals. The critical condition for metals is based on the 90th percentile metal load day on wet days (see Appendix Q). Wet days in the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL are defined as days where the maximum daily flow at the S-28 stream gauge in lower Dominguez Channel is 62.7 cfs or greater. Consistent with RAA Guidelines, the most recent 10 year period with available rainfall data was selected; this period was 2003 to 2012 (Nov 1, 2002-Oct 31, 2012). The stream gauge data at this S-28 prior to October 2011 are segmented and do not cover the entire period. This could result in actual wet days that do not get classified as wet days if stream gage data are missing from that day, and could bias the TLR calculations and RAA analysis. Therefore, wet days for this analysis were based on days where the calibrated SBPAT model (which models only wet weather, i.e., no dry weather runoff or baseflows are modeled) predicted non-zero flow. This was compared to the bacteria wet day definition in which days with 0.1” or greater rainfall plus the next three days were counted as wet days. Storms that were greater than 0.1” produced runoff in SBPAT throughout the modeled period, thereby confirming that predicted flow in SBPAT was a reasonable representation of wet days. The calibrated SBPAT model (discussed below) was used to determine the daily metal load on wet days. These days were ranked by their daily metals load for each metal to determine the 90th percentile load day for TLR calculation. The 90th percentile load days were found to be Nov 30, 2007, February 5, 2010, and February 26, 2006 for copper, lead, and zinc, respectively. Other data related to the SBPAT model are discussed in detail in Section 2.4.2. Page 659 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-27 | Page 2018 3.4.3 CALIBRATION Hydrology No stream gauge exists that measures flow from only the Dominguez Channel portion of the EWMP area. However, a stream gauge does exist on lower Dominguez Channel above the Torrance Lateral. This gauge captures flow from 24,275 acres. Approximately 3,687 acres of the EWMP area drain to this gauge. The rest of the EWMP area drains to the Torrance Lateral and is therefore downstream of this gauge. The EWMP area upstream of this gauge constitutes only 15% of the total area draining to the gauge. Therefore, in lieu of local measured stream flow data from within the EWMP area, a Los Angeles County LSPC model of the Dominguez Channel Watershed which had previously been calibrated to the S28 stream gauge on Dominguez Channel was used as a stream flow calibration comparison dataset for SBPAT. As future monitoring data become available, this calibration may be reassessed as part of the EWMP adaptive management process. The Los Angeles County LSPC model was previously calibrated by CWE to gauge S28 for the Dominguez Channel watershed using the calibration parameters in Table 3.0 of the RAA Guidelines. A ten-year calibration period was used (2003-2012). The percent difference for both daily and monthly runoff volumes between the LSPC model and the stream gauge was less than 10%, which is in the ‘very good’ category in the RAA guidelines (CWE, 2015). The mean annual runoff volume in the LSPC model (7,210 acre-ft) was within 12% of the stream gauge volume (8,210 acre-ft) which is in the ‘good’ range in the RAA Guidelines. For modeling the portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area which drains to Dominguez Channel, the calibrated LSPC model was clipped to the Dominguez Channel analysis region (including Torrance, see Figure 1), while keeping all other model parameters unchanged. Because SBPAT only includes storm generated runoff and LSPC includes dry weather flows (irrigation was turned off for the purposes of this analysis), any dry weather flows were first removed from the LSPC annual volumes using the Web-based Hydrograph Analysis Tool (WHAT) for porous aquifers with ephemeral streams; this tool was developed by Purdue University to separate base flows and runoff. Because dry weather flows are minimal in Dominguez Channel Watershed in the LSPC model, this resulted in a decrease in volume of only 6%. The SBPAT calibration of the Dominguez Channel analysis region focused on accurate prediction of annual discharge volumes predicted by the LSPC model for TMDL years 1989-2011. The dominant rain gauge used by LSPC (Manhattan Beach Station ID 1070) was also used by SBPAT. This gage had less than 2% difference in total rainfall volume than the aggregate of the surrounding rain gauges making it a good representative gauge for the EWMP area. The calibration parameters were the soil saturated hydraulic conductivities and the land use imperviousness, which were changed by a uniform multiplier for all soil and land use types in all subcatchments to match the LSPC predictions. Table 3-7 shows the mean annual volume predicted by the calibrated SBPAT model versus the mean annual volume predicted by the calibrated LSPC model for the Dominguez Channel portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area. Figure 3-4 compares the annual volumes predicted by SBPAT to the annual volumes predicted by LSPC for all years between 1989 and 2011. Figure 3-5 presents these same results in a flow duration curve format. The difference in mean annual volume between LSPC Page 660 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-28 | Page 2018 and the calibrated SBPAT model was 2%, and the difference for the 90th percentile year was 1%, both of which are in the “very good” category for calibration in the RAA Guidelines. Table 3-7.

Annual Runoff Volumes Predicted by LSPC and SBPAT Water Quality The RAA Guidelines require water quality calibration based on available monitoring data from the most recent 10 years. However, in the portion of the Beach Cities EWMP draining to Dominguez Channel, recent water quality monitoring data are not available for the applicable pollutants for a nearby receiving water monitoring station (the Dominguez Channel mass emission station S28 (Figure 3-2) is located downstream of a portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area, but upstream of the rest and includes large areas outside the EWMP area), so a conventional water quality calibration was not feasible. In the future as new local monitoring data become available, SBPAT’s water quality input parameters may be calibrated as part of the EWMP adaptive management process. In the meantime, to meet current model verification needs for the RAA, SBPAT’s log-normal land use EMC statistics were compared with the original land use monitoring datasets upon which were based. This land use based comparison is consistent with the calibration method applied for the original county-wide LSPC model (Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, 2010). The land use EMCs used in SBPAT were calculated from data collected by Los Angeles County between 1996 to 2000 (County of Los Angeles, 2000) for metals, and land use-specific data collected by SCCWRP (SCCWRP, 2007) between 2000 to 2005 for fecal coliform.

An additional example of the zinc distribution for high density residential land use from Los Angeles County results and the distributions used in SBPAT is shown in Figure 3-7. As shown by the percentiles, the pollutant EMC distribution is well representative of measured data. The example is provided for high density residential land use since this is the dominant developed land use in the Dominguez portion of the Beach Cities WMG area. Modeled EMC values are consistent with the recommended values for land use-specific loading in Table 3.3 of the RAA Guidelines. Figure 3-6.

Comparison of Total Zinc Multi Family Residential EMC Values between Los Angeles County Measurements (n=4) and Multi-Family Residential EMC distribution in SBPAT 23 3.4.4 VALIDATION A validation step was performed to demonstrate that modeled annual fecal coliform loads are indeed predictive of the compliance metric, or annual exceedance days for fecal indicator bacteria. For bacteria modeling, verifying the linkage between modeled fecal coliform loads (i.e., discharged from the watershed outlets) and total observed wet weather exceedance days (in the receiving water, based on REC1 daily maximum water quality objectives) was critical to establish reasonable assurance that CMLs would be in compliance with the Permit limits. To establish this linkage, an analysis was conducted using shoreline monitoring data at Topanga Canyon24 (SMB-1-18) between 2005 and 2013. As presented in Section 2.4.4, Figure 2-11 in Section 2.4.4 illustrates that decreasing fecal coliform loads should result in measurable reductions in exceedance days, and that there is a reasonable correlation between total annual modeled fecal coliform loads and total annual observed wet weather exceedance days. Each point shown represents one TMDL year. 23 A full log distribution is used by the model, but non-parametric summary statistics are shown for comparison. 24 Fecal coliform data and objectives were used to represent all fecal indicator bacteria because fecal coliform has the most robust land use and BMP effluent EMC datasets. Page 664 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-32 | Page 2018 3.5 BASELINE LOADS AND TARGET LOAD REDUCTIONS Baseline loads for the critical period for bacteria and metals from the entire EWMP area draining to Dominguez Channel were computed using SBPAT. For bacteria, the critical period was the 90th percentile wet TMDL year, which was computed to be 1995 as discussed in Section 3.4.2. For metals, the critical condition is the 90th percentile metal load day between 2003 and 2012. These dates were found to be November 30, 2007, February 5, 2010, and February 26, 2006 for copper, lead, and zinc, respectively, as discussed in Section 3.4.2. The computed baseline conditions for runoff volume, pollutant concentration, and pollutant loading based on 90th percentile critical condition are shown in Table 3-8 below. Table 3-8. Baseline Runoff, Concentration, and Load for Pollutants in the Dominguez Channel Watershed for the Critical Condition Pollutant 90th Percentile Critical Condition Baseline Runoff Average Baseline Concentration 1 Baseline Load Copper 11/30/2007 301 ac-ft/day 25.8 µg/L 21 lb/day Lead 2/5/2010 275 ac-ft/day 11.6 µg /L 8.7 lb/day Zinc 2/26/2006 291 ac-ft/day 290.2 µg /L 230 lb/day Bacteria 11/1/1994-10/31/1995 6,048 ac-ft/yr 20,080 MPN/100 mL 1,498*1012 MPN/yr 1 Average pollutant concentrations are estimated as the total annual load divided by the total annual runoff volume. The process for establishing TLRs for the modeled WBPCs (copper, lead, zinc, and bacteria in Dominguez Channel) is described in the following section. TLRs were set for the entire Dominguez Channel analysis region, including the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. Because no evidence currently exists to support a linkage between MS4 discharges and exceedances of toxicity, mercury, cadmium, cyanide, selenium, or pH in Dominguez Channel, these pollutants were not modeled as part of this analysis. This potential linkage will be re-evaluated based on results of future monitoring efforts. 3.5.1 METALS For the Dominguez Channel and Greater LA Harbor Toxics and Metals TMDL, the final WQBELs in the Permit are expressed as allowed daily loading of total copper, total lead, and total zinc during wet weather. The WQBEL loads were calculated as the CTR freshwater chronic criteria-based numeric target concentrations (9.7, 42.7, 62.7 ug/L for total copper, total lead, and total zinc, respectively) multiplied by the daily flow volume at the time of sampling. The following approach was implemented to calculate a wet weather TLR for each metal in the Dominguez Channel portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area: Page 665 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-33 | Page 2018 1. The analysis region was modeled in SBPAT for TMDL years 2003 to 2012. 2. Including only wet 25 days, the day with the 90th percentile metal load (the critical daily load) was determined (see Appendix Q). 3. The target load was calculated by multiplying the allowed concentration by the runoff volume on that day which is the WQBEL expressed in the permit. 4. The difference between the baseline load (step 2) and the target load (step 3) resulted in a TLR for the 90th percentile load day, which was the load reduction required to meet the allowable TMDL concentration. Appendix K provides an example calculation for this TLR process. Zinc was found to require the greatest TLR and was also found to be the controlling pollutant for BMP implementation, meaning that meeting the zinc requirement required the most stringent BMP implementation, which will likely produce load reductions for the other pollutants greater than the TLR. The TLR for lead was found to be zero because the baseline concentration on the 90th percentile critical day was found to be less than the allowed concentration. TLRs for each of the metals are shown in Table 3-9. 3.5.2 FECAL COLIFORM BACTERIA Since no TMDL exists for this WBPC, an approach was developed to compute a wet weather bacteria TLR consistent with freshwater bacteria TMDLs in the region, which use allowable exceedance days (per year) and the 90th percentile critical year as the basis for their WLAs. The TLR calculation for bacteria for Dominguez Channel EWMP area was similar to the method used in the SMB portion. The method relates the annual number of modeled calendar days with rainfall-generated runoff (or “discharge days”) to the expected annual bacteria exceedance days. The validation of this methodology on the Arroyo Sequit reference watershed is described in Section 2.5.1. The TLR-development methodology was applied to the EWMP area to predict the number of baseline exceedance days for the 90th percentile year, or TMDL year 1995. Once the number of baseline discharge days were estimated, the number of allowed discharge days was established. Consistent with other Los Angeles region freshwater bacteria TMDLs, it was assumed that 19% of non-high flow suspension days were allowed to exceed the REC1 single sample limit, or 400 MPN/100mL for fecal coliforms 26.The D1070 rain gauge, which was used to determine the 90th percentile year and used to model both the Dominguez Channel and Santa Monica Bay portions of the EWMP area, was used to determine the number of wet days and high flow suspension days in TMDL year 1995. Wet day definition and high flow suspension day definition were based on other 25 Wet days defined as days in which gauge S28 has flows equal than or greater than 62.7 cfs. Due to insufficient continuous flow data at this gauge, wet days were estimated as days in which flows in SBPAT were non-zero excluding days with less than 0.1 inch of rainfall. This is discussed in more detail in Section 3.4.2. 26 Fecal coliform, and its previous freshwater Basin Plan objective value (400 mpn/100mL), is used as the modeled surrogate for E. coli due to its more robust available modeling datasets. Page 666 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-34 | Page 2018 bacteria TMDLs in the region, where wet days are days in which 0.1” or greater of rainfall occur, plus the following 3 days, and high flow suspension days are days in which 0.5” or greater of rainfall occur plus the following day. In TMDL year, 1995, a total of 73 wet days (19 of which were high flow suspension days) occurred using this methodology. Because the REC1 single sample limits are suspended on high flow suspension days, the total number of applicable wet days is 54. Using the 19% allowable exceedance rate, the number of allowable exceedance days was set to 10 (19% x 54 wet days). Thus, 10 wet days (that are not high flow suspension days) were allowed to exceed 400 MPN/100mL. Any remaining exceedance days must be removed using BMPs. To determine the TLR necessary to meet the allowed discharge days, a virtual retention BMP was modeled in SBPAT at the outlet of the EWMP area. This approach was presented to LARWQCB staff on June 6, 2014 and verbal feedback received during the meeting was supportive. For the outlet virtual retention BMP included a diversion with a virtual hydraulic capacity that results in a model-derived bypass frequency (or number of discharge days), during TMDL year 1995 that meets the allowable exceedance day criteria. The diversion is modeled as a full capture system. High flow suspension days were not included in the number of exceedance days, and the concentration on each discharge day was confirmed to be greater than 400 MPN/100mL to ensure it was actually an exceedance day. The diversion is modeled as a full capture system. The load reduction resulting from this BMP scenario (i.e., baseline analysis region load minus analysis region load with the diversion system and retention BMP in place) became the TLR. “Reasonable assurance” of compliance with the allowed discharge days was then considered to have been met when actual and proposed BMPs combined to achieve the TLR for each analysis region. The calculated TLR for bacteria is shown in Table 3-9. In summary, the following approach was implemented to calculate a wet weather bacteria TLR in the Dominguez Channel analysis region: 1. The analysis region is modeled in SBPAT for the 90th percentile year (TMDL year 1995) (see Appendix Q). 2. The existing, baseline condition (i.e., without any outlet retention BMP) is modeled for the analysis region, resulting in a mean baseline fecal coliform (FC) load for the 90th percentile year (baseline load). 3. The allowable number of non-high flow suspension discharge days is calculated to be 10 (19% of 54 non-high flow suspension wet weather days in TMDL year 1995). 4. An in-stream diversion to a large, virtual retention BMP at the outlet of the analysis region is iteratively sized so that the number of non-high flow suspension discharges meets the criteria established in Step 3. 5. The diversion and retention BMP is then modeled in SBPAT to produce a mean FC load for the 90th percentile year (allowed load). 6. The difference between the baseline load (step 2) and the allowed load (step 5) results in a TLR for the 90th percentile year, which is the load reduction required to meet the 10 allowable exceedance days for wet weather. Page 667 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-35 | Page 2018 7. In order to meet the allowable exceedance days of 10, the TLR (as a percentage of the baseline 90th percentile year load) is 33%. Table 3-9.

The pollutant concentrations presented for the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL are a direct output from the LSPC model used for the RAA. 2 RAA demonstration is made based on the achievement of the TLR values in terms of absolute load removed by the proposed suite of BMPs in each analysis region. The allowed conditions in terms of runoff volume and concentration are shown for informational purposes only. 3.6 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES 3.6.1 METHODS TO SELECT AND PRIORITIZE BMPS In order to demonstrate reasonable assurance, BMPs were identified in a prioritized manner. Prioritization was based on cost (low cost BMPs were prioritized); BMP effectiveness for the pollutants of concern (BMPs that had greater treatment efficiency for the pollutant of concern in a particular analysis region were prioritized over other BMPs); and implementation feasibility as determined by the Beach Cities agencies. In general, nonstructural BMPs were prioritized over structural BMPs due to their lower relative cost, and then structural BMPs were identified that would likely result in the greatest load reduction per dollar. The RAA was performed according to the following steps: 1. Calculate load reductions associated with existing structural BMPs; 2. Assume a load reduction for non-modeled non-structural BMPs(five percent of baseline pollutant load); Page 668 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-36 | Page 2018 3. Calculate load reductions for public retrofit incentives (e.g., downspout disconnects) and redevelopment; 4. Calculate load reductions attributable to anticipated new permit compliance activities of non-MS4 entities (e.g., Industrial General Permit holders and Caltrans); 5. Calculate load reductions for proposed regional BMPs that were identified in existing plans; and 6. Meet the TLR by backfilling the remaining load reduction with new regional or distributed green streets BMPs, with green streets modeled by assuming treatment of runoff from a percentage of specific developed land uses. The following schedule assumptions were made: • Only BMPs implemented after the TMDL effective date (2012) were included; • Redevelopment BMPs were assumed to use different sizing criteria before and after 2015 (EWMP submittal date), consistent with the Permit’s post-construction requirements; and • Modeled load reduction outputs are reported for the proposed interim bacteria (2018, 2023, and 2027) and final proposed bacteria/toxics TMDL (2032) compliance dates. 3.6.2 RECOMMENDED MCMS AND NONSTRUCTURAL BMPS See Section 2.6.2. All information provided in Table 2-8, excluding the City of Hermosa Beach (which is not in the Dominguez Channel Watershed), also pertains to the Dominguez Channel Watershed. 3.6.3 QUANTIFIED NON-STRUCTURAL BMPS Non-structural BMPs have been categorized as follows. Specific model inputs are summarized below. No modeling of non-structural BMPs was conducted in the City of Torrance, as all load reductions were quantified based on literature references. Non-Modeled Programmatic BMPs These source controls include a combination of BMPs such as new or enhanced pet waste controls (ordinance, signage, education/outreach, mutt mitts, etc.), Clean Bay Restaurant Program, human waste source tracking and remediation (e.g., leaking sewer investigations, etc.), enhanced street sweeping (e.g., 100% vacuum sweepers, increased frequency, posting of ‘No Parking’ signs for street sweeping, etc.), increased catch basin and storm drain cleaning, and other new or enhanced nonstructural BMPs that target the pollutants addressed in this EWMP. The City of Torrance, for instance, has committed to such BMPs as smart gardening program enhancements, TMDL-specific stormwater training, enhancement of commercial and industrial facility inspections, enhancement escalation procedures, improved street sweeping technology, and reduction of irrigation return flow. A combined credit of 5% load reduction was applied for all pollutants to represent the cumulative benefit from non-modeled programmatic BMPs. Page 669 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-37 | Page 2018 In addition, a separate load reduction is assumed for copper due to the elimination of copper in brake pads. In 2010, California Senate Bill 346 (SB 346) was enacted to eliminate nearly all use of copper in brake pad manufacturing. In 2013, TDC Environmental prepared a draft detailed study for the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) describing the expected percent reduction for copper as a result of the passage of SB 346 (TDC Environmental, 2013). The TDC study identifies three possible implementation scenarios, the least aggressive of which estimates that a 55% load reduction in copper will be achieved by 2032 due to the brake pad phase out. Therefore, a 55% load reduction was assumed for copper in the Greater LA Harbor analysis region; however, to avoid double counting load reductions, this reduction was applied to the copper load after accounting for all future nonstructural and structural BMP load reductions. Modeled Redevelopment Beginning in 2001, redevelopment projects were required by the Permit (via the SUSMP) to incorporate stormwater treatment BMPs into their projects if their project size exceeded specified thresholds. The 2001 MS4 Permit SUSMP redevelopment requirements were applied between 2012 (the point at which the Metals TMDL was implemented) and 2015 for the Dominguez Channel EWMP area. Redevelopment in this period was modeled as flow-through media filters at a 0.2 in/hr design event. The 2012 MS4 Permit established new criteria for redevelopment projects, requiring certain sized projects to capture, retain, or infiltrate the 85th percentile design storm or the 0.75-inch design storm, whichever is greater, via the implementation of LID BMPs. To account for these redevelopment requirements in the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach, BMPs were modeled in SBPAT assuming land use-specific annual redevelopment rates for projects that triggered former SUSMP requirements or will trigger the Permit’s LID BMP requirements (Table 3-10). No load reduction from this non-structural BMP was quantified for the City of Torrance. Table 3-10. Estimated Annual Redevelopment Rates Land Use Annual Redevelopment Rate (% of total land use area) Cities of Redondo Beach and Torrance1 City of Manhattan Beach Residential 0.18 0.10 Commercial 0.15 0.38 Industrial 0.34 0.38 Education 0.16 0.16 Transportation 2.7 2.7 1Regionally developed redevelopment rates were applied to the City of Torrance and Redondo Beach (City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation, 2012). A City-specific redevelopment rate of 3.8 percent for commercial redevelopment in Manhattan Beach was provided based on historical SUSMP data over the past ten years. This value was also assumed for historical industrial redevelopment and both commercial and industrial redevelopment moving forward. For residential land use, because there are insufficient data to Page 670 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-38 | Page 2018 project LID rates, a nominal 0.10 percent was assumed and is subject to change based on the model outcomes and discussions with City staff as the LID ordinance is finalized. BMPs were assumed to be implemented and to continue be implemented in the future, at these rates across five distinct time periods in the Dominguez Channel watershed: • 2012 (Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL Effective Date) – 2015: The SUSMP requirements, based on the 2001 MS4 Permit, were assumed to be implemented over this period as flow-through media filters at a 0.2 in/hr design intensity (Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, 2002). • 2015 - 2032 (Final Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL Compliance Deadline and Proposed Final Bacteria Compliance Deadline): The 2012 MS4 Permit post-construction requirements were assumed to be implemented over this period as 50% biofiltration and 50% bioretention. Biofiltration (bioretention with underdrains) were modeled using bioswale BMP types with effluent EMCs set to bioretention and sized to retain 150 percent of the 1-year, 1-hour design storm (approximately 0.3 in/hr) because they do not retain all the design storm volume on site (they are flow-through systems), while bioretention units were sized to retain 100 percent of the 85th percentile, 24-hour design storm depth, calculated as the mean for each analysis region. 2015 is used as a transition date since the LID post-construction requirements from the 2012 MS4 Permit are required to be in full effect via local LID ordinances by this time. In order to estimate load reductions associated with these redevelopment BMPs, the land use percentages shown in Table 3-10 were multiplied by the respective land use areas in each analysis region, resulting in an assumed area treated by LID BMPs each year. This area was multiplied by the applicable number of years, since new BMPs are assumed to be implemented each year. The total land use area assumed to be redeveloped for each analysis region was then modeled as being treated and the total load reduction was quantified. The default design parameter assumptions for the biofiltration redevelopment projects were that the longitudinal slopes were 0.03 ft/ft, Manning’s n was 0.25, hydraulic residence time was 10 min, and water quality flow depth was 4 in. Modeled Public Retrofit Incentives These BMPs include programs directed at incentivizing the public to decrease the amount of stormwater runoff from their property, specifically via downspout disconnects. Public incentives for retrofitting existing development were modeled in SBPAT between 2015, when the EWMP will begin to be implemented, and the respective TMDL final compliance date. No quantification of these load reductions was done for the City of Torrance, although they may be taken into account in future iterations. Public retrofit incentives were assumed to be a downspout disconnection program, modeled as bioswales sized to a design storm intensity of 0.2 in/hr (see Table 2-10). The default design parameter assumptions for the biofiltration redevelopment projects were that longitudinal slopes were 0.03 ft/ft, Manning’s n was 0.25, hydraulic residence time was 10 min, and water quality flow depth was 4 in. Assumptions included that 10 percent of single family residential areas would be converted to disconnected downspout systems over 2015 to 2021, and that, based on GIS analysis, 38 percent of Page 671 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-39 | Page 2018 the single family residential area consists of rooftops that can be effectively disconnected. Therefore, 3.8 percent of single family residential neighborhoods were modeled as treated by bioswales in order to account for public retrofit incentives. Modeled Non-MS4 Permitted Parcels or Areas SBPAT was used to quantify the load reduction assuming that regulated parcels/areas would be in compliance with the NPDES Statewide Storm Water Permit Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) from State of California Department of Transportation (Order No. 2012-0011-DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000003) and the California NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities (Industrial General Permit [IGP], Order 2014-0057-DWQ) (Figure 3-8). The load reduction from these areas was quantified in analysis region DC-RB/MB. This load reduction was obtained from these areas by simulating treatment plants sized to treat the IGP’s design storm requirement, the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event, with an effluent concentration set equal to the water quality standard (see Section 2.6.3). For fecal coliform, 400 MPN/100mL was used. In the Dominguez portion of the Beach Cities EWMP, these constituted only a small fraction of the total area. 3.6.4 STRUCTURAL BMPS Structural BMPs have been categorized as follows. Proposed distributed BMPs in the Dominguez Channel Watershed area of the Beach Cities EWMP are shown in Figure 3-9, and existing and proposed regional BMPs are shown in Figure 3-10. Page 672 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-40 | Page 2018 Figure 3-8. IGP and Caltrans Area within the Dominguez Channel portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area Page 673 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-41 | Page 2018 Figure 3-9. Proposed Distributed BMPs within the Dominguez Channel Watershed Page 674 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-42 | Page 2018 Figure 3-10. Proposed Regional BMPs within the Dominguez Channel Watershed Page 675 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-43 | Page 2018 Existing Regional BMPs There are no existing regional BMPs in either Dominguez Channel analysis region; as such, none were modeled in SBPAT. Proposed Regional BMPs Two regional BMPs are being proposed in the Dominguez Channel Watershed, both within the City of Redondo Beach in Analysis Region DC-RB/MB. Analysis Region DC – RB/MB Two proposed regional BMPs in the DC-RB/MB analysis region were modeled in SBPAT based on conceptual design information and discussions with the Beach Cities WMG (Figure 3-11). While the BMPs are conceptual at this point, they will include media filtration such as proprietary media filters or bioretention. Infiltration is not feasible due to the low saturated flow rates in the areas where regional BMPs could be constructed (0.3-0.4 in/hr). Powerline Easement Filtration. This regional BMP would include a filtration system (i.e., media filter, biofilter, or bioretention with underdrains) or systems along the powerline easement. This BMP could be constructed to capture runoff from the EWMP areas draining towards the intersection of Manhattan Beach Blvd and Inglewood Ave. In order to determine a conservative estimate of the footprint available for this BMP, an analysis was conducted along the powerline easement and along Manhattan Beach Blvd that included the following criteria: • 100 ft away from large utility poles; and • 25 ft away from roads, railroads, and buildings. These criteria aim to address some of the concerns with BMP construction within a powerline easement, as was previously described. The resulting approximate footprint shown in Figure 3-11 should be considered approximate and large enough to allow for construction in the roadway right-of-way or easement or both. It is noted that this is meant to be a conservative estimate given the above criteria and would be sited to capture runoff from the drainage area shown in Figure 3-11. The total footprint area calculated for this BMP was 313,500 square feet. It was assumed that approximately 15% of this area would be used for pretreatment (10%) and side slopes (5%) so only 85% of the area was used as the footprint available for filtration. The BMP was modeled as a flow through BMP, with the only storage available being the pretreatment. A media filter was chosen to represent this BMP. The treatment rate was set to 10 inches per hour multiplied by the available footprint. This constitutes a design flow of approximately 48% of the 0.2 in/hr 85th percentile design intensity in the Permit. The BMP was assumed to be 5 feet deep, and the diversion flow rate was estimated based on the flow rate from 0.2 in/hr on the drainage area using the rational method. Modeling criteria are shown in Table 3-11. Page 676 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-44 | Page 2018 A potential alternative location to the Powerline Easement Filtration facility is the green space adjacent to Manhattan Beach Blvd and Marine Avenue. Due to limited spatial availability, high-capacity filter media would be required for the alternative location in order to achieve the same reduction objective as the Powerline Easement Filtration facility. Both potential locations for this BMP would provide the additional benefits of neighborhood greening, potentially mitigating issues such as the urban heat island effect and also raising public education/awareness. Artesia Blvd and Hawthorne Blvd Filtration. This regional BMP would include a filtration system or systems near the intersection of Artesia Blvd and Hawthorne Blvd. It was assumed that this BMP could be constructed to capture runoff from the EWMP areas draining towards this intersection. A conceptual footprint was developed based on the space available in medians, park strips, and areas that could be converted for subsurface filtration systems. The approximate footprint is shown in Figure 3-11. The total footprint area calculated for this BMP was 43,700 square feet. It was assumed based on other similar BMPs in the Los Angeles region that approximately 15% of this area would be used for pretreatment (10%) and side slopes (5%), so only 85% of the area was used as the footprint available for filtration. The BMP was modeled as a flow-through BMP, with the only storage available being the pretreatment. A treatment plant type BMP was chosen for the modeling, and the EMCs from distributed media filters were assigned to the treatment plant to simulate a regional media filter. The treatment rate was set to 10 inches per hour multiplied by the available footprint. This constitutes a design flow of approximately 63% of the 0.2 in/hr intensity in the Permit. The BMP was assumed to be 5 feet deep, and the diversion flow rate was estimated based on the flow rate from 0.2 in/hr on the drainage area using the rational method. Modeling criteria are shown in Table 3-11. This BMP would provide the additional benefit of neighborhood greening, potentially mitigating issues such as the urban heat island effect and also raising public education/awareness. Analysis Region Dominguez Channel – Torrance (DC-Torrance) No regional BMPs are proposed in the DC-Torrance analysis region. Summary of Proposed Regional BMPs Two regional BMPs are proposed in the Dominguez Channel portion of the Beach Cities EWMP Area. None of these projects could be feasibly sized to meet the 85th percentile design criteria. However, the BMPs were sized to collectively meet the target load reductions necessary to achieve compliance with the WQBELs and RWLs, in combination with other existing and proposed structural and non-structural BMPs. Proposed regional BMPs, including their location, analysis region, project name, model inputs, and expected performance, are summarized in Table 3-11.

Page 679 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-47 | Page 2018 Existing Distributed BMPs No existing distributed BMPs were accounted for or modeled in the Dominguez Channel portion of the Beach Cities EWMP area. Proposed Distributed BMPs Proposed distributed BMPs are depicted in Figure 3-9. Distributed green streets BMPs are proposed and were modeled as part of the RAA within the DC-RB/MB analysis region, at an implementation level of 14% (i.e., runoff from 14% of single family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial land uses would be treated by green streets BMPs designed as described in Section 2.6.4). Approximately 200 catch basin inlet filters (media filtration devices with a variety of media types and configurations such as cartridge filters, vertical bed filters, etc.) are proposed within the DC-Torrance analysis region. Infiltration of runoff is not feasible in the DC-Torrance analysis region due to the prevalence of Montezuma Clay Adobe soils. Roads represent a potentially significant source of pollutant loads, and therefore treating road runoff is considered a key strategy for multi-pollutant TMDL implementation. Implementing catch basin inlet filters throughout the DC-Torrance Watershed is highly applicable because of the high density of catch basins. The predicted load reduction attributable to catch basin inlet filters was estimated on a percent load removal basis, extracted from a review of relevant literature. Fact sheets and literature available on commercially available catch basin inlet filters suggest that catch basin inlet filters are effective at capturing and removing pollutants from stormwater runoff including sediments, heavy metals, and bacteria. A study titled, Optimization of Stormwater Filtration at the Urban/Watershed Interface by the University of California, Irvine, Department of Environmental Health (2005), estimated a 99% removal efficiency of lead concentrations by a grate inlet skimmer box/round curb inlet basket. Another study conducted by the City of El Monte at Longo Toyota in 2002 concluded that the grate inlet skimmer box/round curb inlet baskets were effective in removing 95% of zinc and copper concentrations and 87% of lead concentrations. A more recent independent test conducted in 2013-2014 by the City of Lake Forest showed that the tested catch basin inlet filters achieve 75% removal of heavy metals. The product tested was the Ultra Filter Sock Heavy Metal Drain Filter. For bacteria, the 2005 UC Irvine study found a fecal coliform removal efficiency of 33% by the grate inlet skimmer box/round curb inlet basket. In addition, the City of Torrance is in the process of developing the Green Street Program and the ordinances to implement green street design features as part of street redevelopment. While implementing redevelopment of arterial streets, the City of Torrance would assess opportunities for Green Street design features to facilitate treatment through filtration or infiltration. Green street elements may include infiltration trench that provides water quality treatment, reduction in peak flow discharges, and potential groundwater recharge. Other green street elements that may be considered include bioretention/biofiltration practices to achieve water quality treatment through Page 680 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-48 | Page 2018 filtration by vegetation and soils to remove pollutants with perforated underdrain to convey the treated runoff. The City of Torrance is committed to developing the Green Street Policy by July 2015, as required by the MS4 Permit. 3.7 REASONABLE ASSURANCE ANALYSIS RESULTS 3.7.1 DISCUSSION OF LIMITING POLLUTANTS Zinc was determined to be the controlling pollutant, therefore the cumulative BMP load reductions for copper, lead, and bacteria are each greater than their respective TLRs. Ammonia, cyanide, pH, selenium, mercury, and cadmium were not modeled as part of the Beach Cities’ RAA; however, the implementation of the proposed BMPs is expected to achieve similarly substantive load reductions for these pollutants as for zinc. Meeting the zinc requirement required the most stringent BMP implementation, which is expected to also address all Category 1, 2 and 3 pollutants in Dominguez Channel. 3.7.2 WET WEATHER For all pollutants in the DC-RB/MB analysis region, cumulative load reductions are predicted to meet the interim and final TLRs. The non-structural BMPs achieve a relatively minor load reduction for zinc compared to the regional BMPs and the distributed green streets. After accounting for the load reductions attributed to non-modeled programmatic, public incentives and redevelopment, non-MS4 compliance, and regional BMPs, the implementation of distributed green street BMPs to treat stormwater from 14% of residential, commercial, and industrial land uses within Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach was required to meet the zinc TLR (the limiting pollutant). Table 3-12 below summarizes the estimated load reductions achieved by the proposed BMPs for both the interim and final compliance deadlines. Within the DC-Torrance analysis region, cumulative load reductions are dependent on the level of implementation of the planned catch basin inlet filters. At this time, inlet filters are planned for 200 of 643 catch basins in the analysis region, targeting high priority areas. Since the estimated load reduction is applicable per filter, and not to the entire analysis region, monitoring and subsequent adaptive management will be employed through CIMP monitoring to evaluate the achieved load reductions prior to each of the compliance deadlines, installing additional filters as needed or proposing additional structural/non-structural BMPs until compliance is achieved for every applicable WQBEL or RWL. At this time, the City of Torrance is not committing to any regional or distributed BMPs, aside from catch basin inlet filters and a review of green streets opportunities. It should be noted that if at any time specific distributed green streets or regional/centralized BMPs are found to be infeasible for implementation, alternative BMPs or operational changes will be planned within the same analysis region and within the same timeline, to meet an equivalent load reduction. The performance of the proposed catch basin inlet filters within the City of Torrance will also be evaluated as potential alternatives to the proposed structural BMPs within the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach. Page 681 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-49 | Page 2018 Zinc The zinc load reductions were quantified on the 90th percentile wet load day which was determined during TLR calculations (Table 3-12). Load reductions vary by day due to storm timing and size and due to some variability in the randomly generated pollutant concentrations in the model. To ensure that the load reductions estimated on the 90th percentile load day are not significantly greater than typical daily load reductions, and to get an idea of the variability, the average of the daily load reductions during the 10 year modeling period were also calculated. The predicted zinc load reduction achieved on the 90th percentile load day in the DC-RB/MB analysis region is estimated to be 79%, which is greater than the TLR of 76%. Most of the zinc reduction comes from the proposed regional infiltration BMPs. For comparison, the average daily load reduction was 98%. Because the 90th percentile day has more flow than an average day, the capture rate of the BMPs would be expected to be lower on this day than for smaller storms, thereby justifying the decreased load removal on the 90th percentile day. The estimated zinc load reduction in analysis region DC-Torrance is 85%, including both non-structural and distributed (catch basin inlet filters) BMPs, which is greater than the TLR of 76%. As noted above, the estimated load reduction cannot be applied to the entire analysis region. Therefore, adaptive management will be strongly employed to evaluate the achieved load reductions prior to each of the compliance deadlines, installing additional filters as needed. Copper The copper load reductions were quantified on the 90th percentile wet load day which was determined during TLR calculations (Table 3-12). Similar to zinc, the average of the daily load reductions during the 10 year modeling period are also shown to account for variability. The load reduction achieved on the 90th percentile load day in the DC-RB/MB analysis region is predicted to be 85%, which is greater than the TLR of 62%. The estimated copper load reduction in the DC-Torrance analysis region is predicted to be 89%, which also exceeds the copper TLR of 62%. As noted above, the estimated load reduction cannot be applied to the entire analysis region. Therefore, adaptive management will be strongly employed to evaluate the achieved load reductions prior to each of the compliance deadlines, installing additional filters as needed. Fecal Coliform The average bacteria load reduction for TMDL year 1995 was quantified and compared to the TLR calculated for the 90th percentile critical year (1995) (Table 3-12). The predicted load reduction of 74% within the DC-RB/MB analysis region is greater than the TLR of 33%. Most of the reduction comes from the regional BMP filtration systems. In the City of Torrance, the estimated bacteria load reduction is 38%, which is greater than the TLR of 33%. As noted above, the estimated load reduction cannot be applied to the entire analysis region. Therefore, adaptive management will be strongly employed to evaluate the achieved load reductions prior to each of the compliance deadlines, installing additional filters as needed. Page 682 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-50 | Page 2018 Lead Although the load reductions for lead were not quantified because no load reductions were required to meet the TMDL WQBEL, the implementation of the proposed BMPs will result in similarly substantive load reductions for lead as for other metals. FAA and USEPA efforts to phase out lead from Avgas will further reduce lead in stormwater runoff in the future. Time Series Output Electronic input and output SWMM files and Excel summary spreadsheets will be provided to the LARWQCB upon submittal of this Draft EWMP.

The individual load reduction for each inlet filter’s drainage area is shown under the “Distributed BMPs” column. Initially, 200 of 643 catch basins are planned to be retrofitted in high priority catchments. The total load reduction from inlet filters will be evaluated in the future through CIMP monitoring, as part of the EWMP adaptive management process. At that time, the catch basin BMPs will be modified, with additional filters installed as necessary and additional structural/non-structural BMPs proposed as needed to meet the TLRs required to achieve water quality objectives by the compliance deadlines. Page 684 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-52 | Page 2018 3.7.3 DRY WEATHER For dry weather, the applicable pollutants in the Dominguez Channel Estuary are total copper, total lead, and total zinc as Category 1 WBPCs (i.e. WQBELs and/or RWLs are established in Part VI.E and Attachments L through R of [the Permit]) and the applicable pollutant in both the Dominguez Channel and Dominguez Channel Estuary is bacteria as a Category 2 WBPC (i.e., 303(d)-listed but not currently subject to a TMDL). The City of Torrance’s dry weather load reduction strategy will focus on non-structural source control and pollution prevention measures that are designed to reduce the amount of pollutants and understand the effect of pollutants entering runoff though education, enforcement and behavioral modification programs. Within the Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach, the implementation of the two regional BMPs at both outlets from the DC-RB/MB analysis region to address wet weather pollutants will control dry weather flows by capturing the small flows in the pre-treatment volume and either retaining them or treating them in the media filter. In addition, each of the EWMP Group cities has water conservation regulations which will reduce dry weather runoff at its source. Collectively, by controlling dry weather MS4 flows prior to entering Dominguez Channel using the proposed suite of BMPs, bacteria will be addressed. If necessary, the EWMP Group agencies retain the option of installing low flow diversions sized to effectively eliminate discharges to the receiving water year-round dry weather days. Therefore, reasonable assurance of meeting the applicable RWLs was demonstrated in this EWMP through a qualitative assessment of the proposed BMPs and their overall approach of eliminating or substantially reducing MS4 discharges during dry weather. 3.8 MULTIPLE BENEFITS The proposed projects in the Dominguez Channel Watershed not only demonstrate reasonable assurance for the water quality objectives, but also provide multiple benefits beyond pollutant load reduction. Multiple benefits provided by the projects proposed in the Santa Monica Bay watershed are also applicable to those proposed in the Dominguez Channel Watershed, including neighborhood greening, water conservation/supply, and public education and awareness (see Section 2.8 for more detail). However, infiltration in Dominguez Channel Watershed is infeasible due to low saturated flowrates of the soil at the potential structural BMP locations; therefore, groundwater recharge is not considered an added benefit to the proposed structural BMPs in the Dominguez Channel Watershed. 3.9 PARALLEL COMPLIANCE EFFORTS During the remaining compliance period, the Beach Cities WMG may also elect to perform special studies to evaluate the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL WLAs and/or REC-1 indicator bacteria RWLs. For example, a reevaluation of the site-specific Water Effects Ratio (WER) used to calculate the targets for copper and zinc may result in modifications to the target load and TLR. Another example might include the application of a non-structural pollutant load reduction credit in the case Page 685 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 3 | Dominguez Channel Watershed 3-53 | Page 2018 that state legislation restricting zinc in manufactured rubber tires is passed. Through the adaptive management process, the RAA may be reevaluated after any changes to bacteria statewide objectives, TMDL WLAs, and/or Permit limits. Page 686 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 4 | Implementation Schedule 4-1 | Page 2018 4 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE 4.1 COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE The following sections present the proposed compliance schedules and project sequencing necessary to meet the interim and final compliance deadlines for the Beach Cities EWMP WPBCs. 4.1.1 SANTA MONICA BAY WATERSHED Bacteria, debris, and PCBs and DDTs have been identified as Category 1 WBPCs in the Santa Monica Bay Watershed. No Category 2 or 3 WBPCs are specified in this watershed. The interim and final compliance deadlines in the Santa Monica Bay watershed are summarized in Table 4-1. Table 4-1. Compliance Deadlines associated with Santa Monica Bay Watershed WBPCs Category Pollutant(s) Date Action 1: Highest Priority Dry Weather Bacteria July 2006 Final: Summer-dry single sample Allowable Exceedance Days (AED) met; compliance is currently in effect and attained through diversions and non-structural BMPs.

DDTs N/A Since the TMDL effectively implements an anti-degradation approach (i.e., historic low MS4 concentrations or loads must be kept the same or lower), and the Beach Cities EWMP Agencies are currently presumed to be achieving the WLAs (thus negating the need for RAA), no compliance schedule is proposed. PCBs N/A 2: High Priority N/A N/A N/A 3: Medium Priority N/A N/A N/A The final wet weather compliance deadline for the SMBBB TMDL is proposed to be met through a combination of non-structural, distributed green streets BMPs, and existing, planned, and proposed regional BMPs. The interim compliance deadline for the SMBBB TMDL requires a 50 percent reduction in exceedance days by July 2018; this will be met by achieving 50 percent of the final bacteria TLR (13.2%) on a watershed-wide basis, through a combination of non-structural BMPs including redevelopment, public retrofit incentives, non-MS4 parcels/areas NPDES Permit compliance, and programmatic BMPs, as well as and existing regional BMPs. Neither the load reductions from distributed green streets BMPs, nor planned/proposed regional BMPs, are necessary to meet the interim TLR. Table 2-17 previously summarized the breakdown of estimated load reductions at the interim and final compliance deadlines. At the time of the interim compliance deadline, 2018, a 14.4% load reduction is estimated based on a combination of existing regional BMPs and existing and proposed non-structural BMPs, which is greater than the interim TLR of 13.2%. Compliance with the Debris TMDL will be met through a phased retrofit of all catch basins throughout the Beach Cities EWMP Area to meet each interim and final compliance deadline. 4.1.2 DOMINGUEZ CHANNEL WATERSHED Toxicity, copper, lead, and zinc have been identified as Category 1 WBPCs in the Dominguez Channel Watershed. Additionally, indicator bacteria and ammonia have been identified as a Category 2 WPBC, and cyanide, pH, selenium, mercury, and cadmium have been identified as Category 3 WBPCs. The compliance schedules associated with each WBPC are summarized in Table 4-2. The compliance schedule for Category 1 WBPCs is consistent with the associated TMDL. The compliance schedule for the Category 2 WBPC has been selected to achieve the proposed wet and dry weather bacteria milestones, with implementation actions not exceeding one year, in accordance with the Permit (Section ii(5)9B). As described in Table 4-2, the compliance schedule for the Category 3 WBPCs will be dependent on the results of the CIMP.

As required by the Permit, monitoring for these pollutants will occur under the CIMP. If monitoring data suggest that the Beach Cities Agencies’ MS4s may cause or contribute to exceedances of these pollutants in the receiving water10, these contributions will be addressed through modifications to the EWMP as a part of the adaptive management process, as described in Permit section VI.C.2.a.iii. Page 691 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 4 | Implementation Schedule 4-6 | Page 2018 1 Toxicity, copper, lead, and zinc are listed as Category 1 wet weather pollutants in Dominguez Channel. 2 Copper, lead, zinc, and cadmium are listed as Category 1 pollutants in Dominguez Channel Estuary with annual average WQBELs that apply to both wet and dry weather. 3 Dominguez Channel Estuary WQBELs for total copper, lead, zinc, and cadmium are addressed by the implementation actions taken for Dominguez Channel wet weather WQBELs. 4 According to monitoring data at Dominguez Channel Mass Emission Station S28, the copper, lead, and zinc exceedance rates of the interim WQBELs are 9%, 3% 10% respectively, based on qualified sampling events between 2002 and 2013. At the Torrance Lateral Mass Emission Station TS19, the copper, lead, and zinc exceedance rates of the interim WQBELs are 5%, 0%, and 8% respectively. These monitoring locations receive flow contributions from the Beach Cities WMG, as well as other WMGs. CIMP monitoring and subsequent adaptive management will evaluate if the Beach Cities WMG are exceeding the interim Category 1 WQBELs and evaluate compliance with the Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL. 5 The proposed compliance schedule for dry weather bacteria is the minimum time expected to be necessary for the agencies to plan, design, permit, construct, monitor, and adaptively manage the proposed dry weather BMPs, and is also consistent with the 10-year MS4 compliance schedule for dry weather from the TMDL for indicator bacteria in the San Gabriel River, Estuary and Tributaries, adopted by the LARWQCB in 2015 (Water Quality Control Plan, Attachment A to Resolution No. R15-005, adopted by the RWQCB in 2015). 6 Proposed milestones for MCM enhancement implementation are detailed in Table 2-8. 7 If regional BMPs are deemed necessary for dry weather compliance, their construction dates will be moved up to meet the dry weather deadlines. 8 The proposed compliance schedule for wet weather bacteria and all Category 3 pollutants was selected to be consistent with the Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters Toxic Pollutants TMDL (Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL) (RWQCB, 2011). This compliance schedule is the minimum time expected to be necessary for the agencies to plan, design, permit, construct, monitor, and adaptively manage the proposed wet weather BMPs. 9 Cyanide, pH, selenium, mercury, and cadmium are Category 3 pollutants in Dominguez Channel. Arsenic, chromium, silver, nickel, mercury, and thallium are Category 3 pollutants in Dominguez Channel Estuary. 10 This will be assumed to be the case if monitoring data show that outfall concentrations and receiving water concentrations are in excess of the applicable water quality criteria for the same monitoring event. Page 692 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 4 | Implementation Schedule 4-7 | Page 2018 Table 3-12 previously summarized the load reductions achieved for the quantified WBPCs for the interim and final compliance deadlines. Zinc has been identified as the controlling pollutant for BMP implementation, as it would likely produce load reductions for the other pollutants greater than their individual TLRs. Therefore, it is assumed that the nonstructural and structural BMPs proposed to meet the zinc final TLR by 2032 would also achieve compliance with the other metals TLRs. Therefore, distributed green streets BMPs at a final implementation level of 14%27 and all regional BMPs are planned to be implemented no later than 2032 (with the exception of the Powerline Easement Project, as discussed below). At the time of the proposed final compliance deadline (2032), the proposed projects result in a 79% (DC-RB/MB analysis region) to 80% (DC-Torrance analysis region) load reduction, both of which are greater than the TLR of 76%. Copper TLRs are also proposed to be met in both analysis regions, in combination with the adaptive management approach discussed previously. For bacteria, within the DC-RB/MB analysis region, the proposed final wet weather compliance deadline of March 2032 is proposed to be met through the suite of non-structural and structural BMPs, including distributed green streets BMPs at a 14% implementation level 28. At the time of the proposed final compliance deadline (2032), this implementation plan results in a load reduction of 74% in analysis region DC-RB/MB, which is greater than the TLR of 33%. A 38% bacteria load reduction is estimated in the DC-Torrance analysis region. As shown in Table 3-12, the interim deadlines for bacteria are also proposed to be met through a combination of non-structural and distributed green streets BMPs, phased in over the compliance period. It should be noted that although the inlet filters proposed in the DC-Torrance analysis region are not planned for 100% of catch basins (200 of 643 are currently planned in high priority drainage areas), the achieved load reduction will be evaluated through adaptive management, with additional filters to be installed as necessary to meet the TLRs by the specified compliance deadlines. 4.2 PROJECT SEQUENCING In order to meet the compliance deadlines for the WBPCs discussed above based on load reduction projections in the RAA, the proposed structural BMPs within the Santa Monica Bay and Dominguez Channel Watersheds would be implemented per the timeline provided in Figure 4-1. 27 An “implementation level” of 14% is defined here to mean that runoff from 14% of land use areas (commercial, single family residential, multi-family residential, and industrial land uses) would be treated by green street BMPs (bioretention and biofiltration systems) designed as described in Section 2.6.3. 28 An “implementation level” of 7% is defined here to mean that runoff from 7% of land use areas (commercial, single family residential, multi-family residential, and industrial land uses) would be treated by green street BMPs (bioretention and biofiltration systems) designed as described in Section 2.6.3.

If compliance is met through other means, regional BMP scheduling in Dominguez Channel may be pushed back so that regional projects are instead complete by March 2032. Page 694 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 5 | Assessment and Adaptive Management Framework 5-1 | Page 2018 5 ASSESSMENT AND ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Adaptive management is a critical component of the EWMP implementation process, and EWMP updates are required at two-year cycles by the Permit. The CIMP will gather additional data on receiving water conditions and stormwater/non-stormwater quality. These data will support adaptive management at multiple levels, including: (1) tracking improvements in water quality over the course of EWMP implementation and (2) generating data not previously available to support model updates. Furthermore, over time, the experience gained through intensive BMP implementation will provide lessons learned to support modifications to the control measures identified in the EWMP. The adaptive management process also includes a schedule for developing and reporting on the EWMP updates, the approach to conducting the updates, and the process for implementing any modifications to the RAA and EWMP to reflect the updates. The adaptive management approach for the Beach Cities EWMP area is designed to address the EWMP planning process and the relationship between monitoring, scheduling, and BMP planning. The adaptive management process outlines how the EWMP will be modified in response to monitoring results, updated modeling results, and lessons learned from BMP implementation. It is designed to accomplish three goals: 1. Clarify the short-term and long-term commitments of the Beach Cities WMG within the EWMP. 2. Provide a structured decision-making process for modifications to the EWMP based on the results of monitoring data. 3. Propose a structure for evaluating compliance with water-quality based permit requirements within an adaptive structure. As outlined in Section 4, the schedule and milestones for the EWMP have been designed around meeting the interim and final TMDL requirements for bacteria and metals. While the EWMP identifies actions that will lead to compliance with the final TMDL limitations, the specific actions taken will be informed by monitoring data collected under the CIMP, special studies that may be conducted during implementation, and any applicable regulatory changes that could influence the remaining interim and final milestones and schedule. For example, the Statewide Bacteria Amendments have the potential to modify water quality objectives in the Ocean Plan and Basin Plan, as well as the TMDL WLAs and their WQBEL and/or RWL expressions in the Permit. These changes could affect the required load reductions for bacteria as well as the watershed control measures identified herein. Monitoring data will be utilized to measure progress towards achieving RWLs and WQBELs. An evaluation of monitoring data will be carried out on a biennial basis in accordance with Figure 5-1 to determine if modifications to the EWMP are necessary. Modifications that are warranted because final milestones are achieved more quickly than anticipated can be made at any time (i.e. no more actions are needed if fewer control measures result in meeting RWLs and/or WQBELs). Page 695 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 5 | Assessment and Adaptive Management Framework 5-2 | Page 2018 Modifications that are warranted because insufficient progress is being made will be noted every two years in the annual report and a schedule for implementation will be provided. A full update to the EWMP and the RAA is not anticipated as the schedule for bacteria compliance is only six years long. Updating the EWMP and RAA is a significant and costly undertaking that is not necessary unless conditions change significantly and additional modeling is needed to inform implementation decisions. However, at any point, the Beach Cities Agencies could choose to update the EWMP and the associated RAA, particularly if deemed appropriate based on monitoring data. If at any point during the implementation period any of the permit conditions are modified in response to a regulatory action, TMDL modification, or local studies, the receiving water and outfall monitoring data will be compared to the new RWLs and WQBELs. The same procedure will be followed for evaluating the data and adapting the EWMP, but the new RWLs and WQBELs will be used for the analysis. The process outlined in Figure 5-1 applies during the implementation period for the EWMP. At the end of the implementation period for the TMDLs, if the final RWL and/or WQBELs are not being met, either the TMDL must be modified to adjust the schedule or the permittees will need to apply for a Time Schedule Order or other mechanism to get an extension of the compliance deadlines. Page 696 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 5 | Assessment and Adaptive Management Framework 5-3 | Page 2018 Figure 5-1. Adaptive Management Approach Page 697 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 6 | Financial Analysis 6-4 | Page 2018 6 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS In June of 2014, the Beach Cities WMG submitted the Beach Cities EWMP Work Plan to the LARWQCB (Beach Cities WMG, 2014). The EWMP Work Plan described the approach to cost estimation and scheduling for the EWMP, which is addressed in this section. This section provides an order-of-magnitude estimate of the financial resources that may be required to attain compliance with the 2012 MS4 Permit’s RWLs and WQBELs, as well as a recommended project scheduling in order to meet TMDL compliance deadlines and interim deadlines. Planning-level cost opinions associated with implementation of the proposed structural BMPs within the Beach Cities WMG area are provided based on RAA results. Prior to and separate from the EWMP, BMP cost effectiveness (i.e., pollutant load removed per dollar cost) were developed and evaluated by Geosyntec using SBPAT for a variety of BMP implementation scenarios. For example, it was found that regional infiltration BMPs, followed by regional flow-through treatment BMPs, followed by distributed green streets provide the greatest cost effectiveness, in part due to the economies of scale that benefit regional BMPs. Within those categories, greater BMP cost effectiveness is achieved for a given pollutant in order of the tributary land uses' EMC and runoff coefficient product (for example, for bacteria, commercial land use has a very high EMC and runoff coefficient; therefore, a given BMP type is most cost effective when placed downstream of a commercial area). This relative cost effectiveness understanding was applied by Geosyntec in identifying and prioritizing BMP implementation scenarios for agency consideration in this WMG. The most cost effective yet implementable BMPs were then sequentially incorporated into the EWMP (i.e., with the most cost effective BMPs added first) until reasonable assurance of compliance was demonstrated. Cost opinions are presented as an aid for decision makers, and contain considerable uncertainties. Given the iterative and adaptive nature of the EWMP and the many variables associated with the projects, the budget forecasts are order-of magnitude opinions, and are subject to change based on site-specific BMP feasibility assessment findings, preliminary and final BMP designs and landscaping, BMP effectiveness assessments, results of outfall and receiving water monitoring, and special studies such as those that might result in site specific objectives which could modify water quality objectives or TMDL Waste Load Allocations for a specific WBPC. A financial strategy and details regarding potential funding sources and programs to support the financial resources required for the structural BMPs being proposed in the EWMP are also provided herein. These funding sources and programs may be utilized depending on applicability and feasibility. 6.1 BMP COST METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS 6.1.1 HARD COST ASSUMPTIONS Costs estimated for structural BMPs include “hard” costs for tangible assets and are determined using a line item unit cost approach, which separately accounts for each material cost element required for the installation of a given BMP. Quantities for each line item were calculated based on Page 698 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 6 | Financial Analysis 6-5 | Page 2018 BMP storage/treatment volumes and typical design configurations. A safety factor was applied to the BMP footprints for calculation of design parameters, for both the low and high cost estimates. Unit costs were taken from RS Means 29 , past projects based in Southern California, recent construction cost/bid information, and vendors. Line item unit costs of the proposed structural BMPs are included in Appendix O. Since the majority of proposed BMPs were located on publicly owned land to reduce land acquisition costs to the extent possible, land acquisition costs were not considered as part of this analysis. 6.1.2 SOFT COST ASSUMPTIONS Structural BMP cost opinions also include “soft” costs, which include considerations such as design and permitting. Soft costs are project costs that cannot be calculated on a unit cost basis. For conceptual cost estimating, these costs are generally calculated as a percentage of total capital costs. The soft costs considered for each BMP were: • Utility Realignment— Costs associated with the relocation of utilities that are located within the proposed BMP footprint or inhibit construction activities. • Mobilization and Demobilization – The costs associated with activation/deactivation of equipment and manpower resources for transfer to/from a construction site until completion of the contract. • Planning, Permitting, Bond, and Insurance Costs – Cost, including planning and permit fees and personnel hours, of obtaining required permits for BMP installation. Examples of permits needed may include erosion and sediment control, stormwater, construction, and public space permits. Potential bond and insurance costs are also included. • Engineering and Planning – Costs associated with BMP and site design, as well as access for maintenance, environmental mitigation, buried objects, safety/security, traffic control, limited space, and site restoration. • Construction Management – The costs associated with management and oversight of the construction of the BMP, from project initiation until completion of the contract. Estimated soft costs as percent of total project capital costs are presented in Table 6-1. These percentages were based on literature, best professional judgment, and data from past projects (Brown and Schueler, 1997; International Cost Engineering Council, 2014). 29 RS Means is a unit cost database that is updated annually (http://www.rsmeansonline.com/). When costs from literature are not available project’s design criteria and unit costs from the database were used to estimate the project’s cost. Page 699 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 6 | Financial Analysis 6-6 | Page 2018 Table 6-1. Range of Soft Costs for Proposed Structural BMP Projects as a Percent of Capital Cost Item Cost Range Low High Utility Realignment 0% 3% Mobilization/Demobilization1 3% 10% Planning, permitting, bond, and insurance costs 5% 10% Engineering and Planning 20% 40% Construction Management 8% 15% 1 $2,000 minimum fee 6.1.3 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE Annual Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs were assumed to be two percent of the capital cost for subsurface infiltration basins, two percent of the capital cost for sub-surface biofilters, five percent of the capital cost for subsurface infiltration trenches, and six percent of the capital cost for green streets (USEPA, 2005; Weiss et al., 2007). O&M opinions for underground infiltration basins include cleaning and removal of debris after major storm events, mowing and maintenance of surface vegetated areas, and sediment cleanout. O&M necessary for maintaining sub-surface biofilters includes landscape maintenance, media and gravel replacement once clogged when surface scarification is no longer effective, pest control, sediment and pre-treatment cleanout. O&M for underground infiltration trenches includes cleaning and removal of debris, repairs to inlet/control structures, and pre-treatment cleanup. O&M for green streets includes repairs to eroded areas, incremental landscape maintenance, media and gravel replacement once clogged and surface scarification is no longer effective, removal of trash and debris, and removal of aged mulch with installation of a new layer. O&M costs have been summarized as 20-year lifecycle costs, with no discounting applied, also including post-construction monitoring. Additional maintenance will be necessary after the 20-year lifecycle. Extended maintenance for subsurface infiltration includes excavation and washing of all drain rock on a 25-year cycle and is estimated to be approximately 60 percent of capital costs. All drainage elements should be replaced on a 50-year cycle, at approximately 125 percent of capital costs. Cisterns should be replaced after a useful life of approximately 50 years, at 125 percent of the capital cost. Green streets should be excavated, disposing of existing soil media, and backfilled with new soil media every 25 to 50 years at approximately 90 percent of capital costs. Typical maintenance for trash exclusion devices includes removal of trash and sediment, and catch basins should be cleaned at a minimum of once or twice per year. Trash exclusion devices can be plugged if they are overloaded with sediment or debris, greatly reducing their efficiency. Inspection and cleanout is recommended after major storm events, or storms with a rainfall intensity of greater than one inch in 12 hours. Page 700 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 6 | Financial Analysis 6-7 | Page 2018 6.1.4 ADDITIONAL DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS Additional design details were assumed for the purpose of the cost estimation presented herein, including, but not limited to: • The percentage of excavated material requiring hauling; • The type and length of BMP inflow and outflow conveyance structures; • The type and quantity of vegetation required for the post-BMP condition; • The percentage of the parcel area requiring hydroseeding for the post-BMP condition; • The type of pre-treatment used for each BMP. 6.2 PROPOSED STRUCTURAL BMPS As previously described, regional and distributed structural BMP options are proposed to achieve compliance with the RWLs and WQBELs. Table 6-2 summarizes the basic, concept-level design assumptions for each of the proposed structural BMPs which formed the basis for the conceptual cost opinions.

At that time, the catch basin BMPs will be modified, with additional filters installed as necessary and additional structural/non-structural BMPs proposed as needed to meet the TLRs required to achieve water quality objectives by the compliance deadlines. 2 This includes upstream BMPs and associated tributary drainage areas 3 Alternative project locations have also been identified Page 703 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 6 | Financial Analysis 6-10 | Page 2018 6.2.1 COST OPINION - SMB WATERSHED - ANALYSIS REGION SMB-5-02 For the SMB subwatershed tributary to compliance monitoring location SMB-5-02, two implementation alternatives were identified in the RAA. Alternative 1 includes the Manhattan Beach Infiltration Trench and distributed green streets at a 5% application rate 30. Alternative 2 includes a reduced volume of the Manhattan Beach Infiltration Trench (i.e., reducing the volume by approximately 20%), the Polliwog Park Infiltration Gallery project, and distributed green street BMPs at a 5% application rate. Table 6-3 outlines the costs associated with Alternative 1 and Table 6-4 outlines the costs associated with Alternative 2. Based on projected cost alone, Alternative 1 (larger beach infiltration trench, without Polliwog Park project) is the preferred option, however a preliminary engineering study is needed to verify the feasibility of Alternative 1 so Alternative 2 is included to demonstrate an alternate approach to reasonable assurance. Trash exclusion devices will also be implemented in the SMB 5-02 analysis region. These costs were determined for each city (Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa Beach) and are presented in Section 6.2.5. Further cost opinion details are provided in Appendix O. 30 An “application rate” of 5% is defined here to mean that 5% of RAA-specified land use areas (commercial, single family residential, and multi-family residential land uses) would be treated by green street BMPs (bioretention and biofiltration systems) designed as described in Section 2.6.3.

The City of Redondo Beach plans to retrofit 1,085 catch basins (634 of which are County-owned), the City of Hermosa Beach will retrofit 151 catch basins (79 of which are County-owned), and the City of Manhattan Beach plans to retrofit 640 catch basins (200 of which are County-owned) catch basins. These catch basin retrofits will be located in SMB-5-02, SMB-6-01, as well as in the other analysis regions in SMB; these catch basin retrofits will work in combination with other regionally sited BMPs. The City of Torrance has substantially completed retrofit of its Santa Monica Bay watershed area through several recent grant funded projects so costs for City of Torrance trash exclusion devices are not included. Not included in these costs are the retrofits of catch basins in high priority areas of Dominguez Channel to meet the MCMs in the MS4 Permit for areas without trash TMDLs. Table 6-8 outlines the costs associated with these retrofits, as approximated by each city. Annual O&M costs for trash exclusion devices reflect additional costs for cleaning the inserts/screens only. An estimate of current costs spent to clean non-retrofitted catch basins was subtracted from the annual O&M estimate, resulting in annual O&M required for the addition of the inserts/screens only. Further cost estimate details are provided in Appendix O. Page 711 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 6 | Financial Analysis 6-18 | Page 2018 Table 6-8.

In order to account for possible variations in BMP design, BMP configurations, and site-specific constraints, as well as for uncertainties in available BMP unit costs from literature or estimated BMP unit costs, a range of costs is presented. Table 6-9 includes combined costs for proposed structural BMPs by analysis region and by watershed. Not included in these costs are the annual monitoring costs for implementing the CIMP or the costs associated with implementing baseline and enhanced MCMs. From the analysis of potential costs in this section as summarized in Table 6-9, it is clear that projected costs of implementing the EWMP are substantial and orders of magnitude higher than have previously been expended by the agencies under the previous MS4 Permit. Thus availability of funds will be critical for the implementation of the EWMP. Currently, the Beach Cities do not have sufficient funds or dedicated funding streams to construct and maintain the projects proposed in this EWMP. The Beach Cities agencies are working with the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities and the California Contract Cities Association to partner with other affected agencies to collectively influence State policies, pursue changes in legislation and lobby high level officials for additional stormwater funding. Working together with the other cities will increase effectiveness, communication, collaboration, and reduce redundant efforts. The LACFCD will also work with the Beach Cities WMG in their efforts to address source controls; assess, develop, and pursue funding for structural BMPs, and promote the use of water reuse and infiltration. As regional project scopes are further refined, the LACFCD will determine on a case-by-case basis their contribution to the projects. In addition to working with other affected cities on a regional level, the Beach Cities WMG individually and collaboratively are committed to pursue funding sources at a local level including but not limited to: • Grants - Collaboration and coordination between the Beach Cities will be important to increase accessible grant funding opportunities for stormwater projects, however alternative funding sources will also be needed to provide stable O&M revenues since grants typically do not provide for O&M. • Interagency Partnerships – Interagency partnerships, like the Beach Cities WMG, can allow agencies to leverage local funding resources to make cost intensive projects possible. • Local Bond Issuance - Two types of local bonds can be utilized. General Obligation (GO) bonds are issued by local governments and repaid through a property tax surcharge. Revenue bonds are tax-exempt securitized bonds repaid through utility rate increases charged directly to customers. • Local Stormwater Assessments - Stormwater charges are potentially the most critical local funding source to finance stormwater programs. These charges include stormwater fees and taxes. Page 713 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 6 | Financial Analysis 6-20 | Page 2018 • Direct Subsidies - Direct financial subsidies to local projects do not contribute to cash revenue generation. However, subsidies can create a financial incentive to encourage local participation without providing the full cost for project implementation. Such an approach can increase financial efficiency by leveraging financial input from communities. These potential sources of funding are discussed in greater detail in Section 7. 6.2.7 CLOSING DISCUSSION In concluding its review of the LA MS4 Permit in response to petitions on the order, the SWRCB acknowledges that: “Addressing the water quality impacts of municipal storm water is a complex and difficult undertaking, requiring innovative approaches and significant investment of resources. We recognize and appreciate the commendable effort of the Los Angeles Water Board to come up with a workable and collaborative solution to the difficult technical, policy, and legal issues, as well as the demonstrated commitment of many of the area’s MS4 dischargers and of the environmental community to work with the Los Angeles Water Board in the development and implementation of the proposed solution. We also recognize the extensive work that interested persons from across the state, including CASQA, have invested in assisting us in understanding how the watershed-based alternative compliance approach developed by the Los Angeles Water Board may inform statewide approaches to addressing achievement of water quality requirements. While storm water poses an immediate water quality problem, we believe that a rigorous and transparent watershed-based approach that emphasizes low impact development, green infrastructure, multi-benefit projects, and capture, infiltration, and reuse of storm water is a promising long-term approach to addressing the complex issues involved. We must balance requirements for and enforcement of immediate, but often incomplete, solutions with allowing enough time and leeway for dischargers to invest in infrastructure that will provide for a more reliable trajectory away from storm water-caused pollution and degradation. We believe that the Los Angeles MS4 Order, with the revisions we have made, strikes that balance at this stage in our storm water programs, but expect that we will continue to revisit the question of the appropriate balance as the water boards’ experience in implementing watershed-based solutions to storm water grows.” [Revised draft Order, April 24, 2015, p.86-87 conclusion]35 35 Revised Draft April 24, 2015. State of California State Water Resources Control Board Order WQ 2015-XX In the Matter of Review of Order No. R4-2012-0175, NPDES Permit No. CAS004001 Waste Discharge Requirements for the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4. Issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region. SWRCB/OCC Files A-2236(a)-(kk). Page 714 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 6 | Financial Analysis 6-21 | Page 2018 The SWRCB also states that: “The WMP/EWMP provisions constitute an effort to set ambitious, yet achievable, targets for Permittees; receiving water limitations, on the other hand, while the ultimate goal of MS4 permitting, may not in all cases be achievable within the five-year permit cycle. Generally, permits are best structured so that enforcement actions are employed when a discharger shows some shortcoming in achieving a realistic, even if ambitious, permit condition and not under circumstances where even the most diligent and good faith effort will fail to achieve the required condition.” [Revised draft Order, April 24, 2015, p.35]36 Additionally, SWRCB in discussing compliance with receiving water limitations provisions stated: “Yet, we are sympathetic to the assertions made by MS4 dischargers that the receiving water limitations provisions mandated by our Order WQ 99-05 may result in many years of permit noncompliance, because it may take years of technical efforts to achieve compliance with the receiving water limitations, especially for wet weather discharges. Accordingly, we believe that the MS4 permits should incorporate a well-defined, transparent, and finite alternative path to permit compliance that allows MS4 dischargers that are willing to pursue significant undertakings beyond the iterative process to be deemed in compliance with the receiving water limitations.” [Revised draft Order, April 24, 2015, p. 17]37 The Beach Cities WMG agencies appreciate the SWRCB acknowledgement of the challenges that lie ahead, the understanding of the need for adaptive management in this complex and difficult undertaking, and the significant commitment of resources that must be secured to carry out this ambitious plan to address the water quality impacts of municipal stormwater. 36 Revised Draft April 24, 2015.

This section provides an overview of potentially available funding sources for programs proposed in the EWMP. The funding sources included in this section for consideration are grants, interagency partnerships, bonds, State Revolving Funds, local funding opportunities, and public private partnerships. The Beach Cities will establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for implementation of the EWMP. Development of the MOU will be initiated in March 2016 with the goal of completing the MOU by December 2016. At minimum, the scope of the MOU will address how the group will investigate and pursue funding for regional structural BMP projects described in the EWMP, and will include such details as delineation of responsibility, funding milestones, methods to secure funding, and others. The scope of the MOU may also include but is not limited to other joint EWMP implementation activities such as public information and participation programs. In addition, each City in the Beach Cities WMG is also committed to pursuit of funding for individual EWMP implementation projects and programs related to water quality improvement within their respective cities, as demonstrated by the following examples: • The City of Hermosa Beach has committed financial support for continuing work under the Stormwater Funding Options study (Farfsing and Watson, 2014 which will assist the City in identifying and implementing strategies for the establishment of sustainable revenue sources to manage stormwater programs and implement water quality improvement projects. In June 2015, the City passed a sanitary sewer fee for residents and commercial property owners to fund maintenance and rehabilitation of its aging sewer infrastructure that had previously been funded from the City’s general fund. This dedicated fee for sanitary sewers will allow the City to redirect part of those general fund dollars, for capital improvements and maintenance of the City’s storm drain system, including green street projects. The City won multiple awards for its Pier Avenue green street project and the City Council has recently committed to funding green alleyways between Beach Drive and Hermosa Avenue in an effort to improve water quality and flood impacts near the beach. • The City of Manhattan Beach, like the City of Hermosa Beach, has committed financial support for continuation of the Stormwater Funding Options study. The City is also committed to implementing its Green Street Policy for capital improvement projects in the public right-of-way, has established a minimum runoff capture design goal for such projects, and will also use the EWMP to identify opportunities for green street BMP retrofits in the high priority area. City staff has an excellent track record and enjoys the support of its Council in the pursuit of funding for and implementation of green infrastructure as evidenced by two previous example projects: a 130,000 square feet porous concrete paving project on seven municipal parking lots, and the Greenbelt Infiltration Project installed within the linear greenbelt parkland. • The City of Redondo Beach’s green streets policy requires green street BMPs to be integrated with capital improvement projects (CIPs), thereby ensuring that BMPs be funded as part of ongoing and future CIPs. An example of this policy is the recent addition of catch basin trash screening devices into the Esplanade Street Resurfacing Project. In addition, the City has a Page 717 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 7 | Potential Funding Sources and Financial Strategy 7-2 | Page 2018 successful track record of pursuing and implementing water quality improvements grant funding such as the Alta Vista Diversion and Re-use Project and the Sapphire Stormdrain Diversion and Infiltration Project. • The City of Torrance has appropriated funding for their catch basin inlet filters in the Dominguez Channel Watershed and has appropriated funding to complete their TMRP implementation by the end of 2016 (four years ahead of the TMDL compliance deadline). In addition, the City’s green streets policy requires green street BMPs to be integrated with CIPs. The City of Torrance has an established record for pursuing grant funds for Storm Water Quality Projects. Completed projects include Bioswales for City Yard ($150,000 State grant funds), Machado Lake Trash TMDL Project ($1,000,000 State grant funds), and the Stormwater Basin Enhancement Project ($3,300,000 State grant funds and $300,000 Federal grant funds). The foregoing examples illustrate the willingness of Beach Cities’ staff and elected officials to pursue funding for EWMP implementation projects. Additional sources of funding will also be investigated, as described below. 7.1 GRANT OPPORTUNITIES Grants have historically been a backbone for financing stormwater projects. The majority of the water-related grants are designated for flood control, drinking water, and watershed protection; very few grants are made available for the sole purpose of stormwater permit compliance. For example, the State of California has planned to spend $7.5 billion under the Water Quality, Supply and Infrastructure Improvement Act (2014), but only $200 million have been designated for stormwater capture projects statewide to enhance regional water reliability. In order to increase the likelihood of getting grant funding, a stormwater project might need to be added to a larger project or program that serves different proposes and has different objectives rather than just for stormwater management. Thus, collaboration and coordination between stormwater agencies and other public agencies would be important to increase accessible grant funding opportunities for stormwater projects. It is noted that many grant funds do not cover 100% of the project costs, but instead, cost sharing from local governments (as much as 50%) is required under grant provisions. Furthermore, grants typically cover only project capital costs, but do not provide funding to cover ongoing operations and maintenance, and replacement costs of the infrastructure. Thus, alternative funding sources would be needed to provide stable O&M revenues as well as costs for replacement for any funded projects. Table 7-1 presents the potential grant opportunities available that the Beach Cities can apply to fund the EWMP projects. The Beach Cities WMG intends to pursue the following grant opportunities: The Beach Cities WMG has expressed commitment to pursue grant opportunities. The first joint effort will be for Prop 1 Coastal Conservancy in March 2016 for design of two priority regional projects – the Manhattan Beach Infiltration Trench Project and the Hermosa Beach Greenbelt Infiltration Project. Initiation of this pursuit has already begun, with the grant application expected to be submitted by the March 2016 deadline. The Beach Cities WMG intends to submit the Beach Cities EWMP for incorporation into the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan. Page 718 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 7 | Potential Funding Sources and Financial Strategy 7-3 | Page 2018 Since SB-985-Stormwater Resource Planning became effective in 2014, local governments have been required to have a stormwater resource plan and be in compliance with provisions of SB-985 in order to receive grants for stormwater and dry-weather runoff capture projects from a bond act approved by the voters after January 1, 2014. The EWMP could potentially be utilized as a functionally equivalent plan but further clarification will need to be provided in the guidance document which is anticipated to be established by the State Water Resource Control Board by July 1, 2016. Agencies and the LARWQCB staff should review and comment on the guidance document to ensure that these plans can be utilized.

Page 722 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 7 | Potential Funding Sources and Financial Strategy 7-7 | Page 2018 7.2 PROJECT-SPECIFIC INTERAGENCY PARTNERSHIPS Stormwater management projects often overlap with the jurisdiction of other public agencies, including water agencies, as well as parks and schools. Interagency partnerships would not only allow agencies involved to leverage one other’s available funding resources to make cost intensive projects possible, but would also improve local government funding efficiency. These types of interagency partnership projects could also optimize the potential social, environmental, and economic benefits provided to the community. An interagency partnership also provides an alternative avenue for stormwater agencies to access to grant funding that would otherwise not be available to them. In addition to the above benefits, a partnership with public utility agencies, such as water and refuse collection services, might also provide a mechanism for cost transfer from stormwater agencies to these agencies. For example, the use of stormwater for non-potable water may conserve drinking water. The cost for providing the infrastructure and the ongoing O&M could be partly funded through fees charged by water agencies as part of their cost for water conservation. Table 7-2 provides a list of potentially viable partnerships and the benefits derived from management of stormwater runoff. Table 7-2. Added Benefits of Interagency Partnership for Stormwater Management Potential Partners Benefits Derived from Stormwater Management Flood control district • Flood protection • Climate change mitigation Water agencies • Potable water conservation through stormwater use for non-potable water purposes • Surface water pollution prevention • Increase non-potable water storage through installation of underground cisterns Parks, Coastal Commission • Terrestrial and marine habitat protection by reducing trash from entering the ocean and other terrestrial habitats • Water pollution prevention • Erosion reduction 7.3 LOCAL BOND ISSUANCE Bonds have been utilized by local governments to provide funding for stormwater projects. There are two types of bonds that can be utilized. One of them is GO bonds. GO bonds are issued by local governments, which are repaid through a tax surcharge (e.g. property). The City of Los Angeles, for example, has used GO bonds to fund their stormwater projects. The City sold $440 million GO bonds under Proposition O Clean Water Bonds. The bond proceeds were used for implementation of 39 projects but could not be used for ongoing maintenance, operations and replacement of these facilities (Farfsing and Watson, 2014). The challenge of utilizing GO bonds is that GO bond issuance and the amount to be issued must be approved by two-third of the voters. The main drawback of election approval requirement is that the cost of holding an election can be high and the chance of success is often unpredictable. Another type of bonds that can be used at the local level is revenue bonds. Revenue bonds are tax-exempt securitized bonds that are issued by utility agencies, such as water agencies. These bonds Page 723 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 7 | Potential Funding Sources and Financial Strategy 7-8 | Page 2018 are repaid through utility rate increases charged directly to customers. Recent enactment of AB-850-Public Capital Facilities: Water Quality allows local publically owned water agencies to finance water quality and water conservation related projects by issuance of revenue bonds through a Joint Powers Authority (JPA). Under the provisions of AB-850, water agencies are allowed to use the bond proceeds to pay for construction, repair, maintenance, and operations of eligible projects. Both stormwater capture and water quality compliance projects are considered as eligible projects that can be financed through bond issuance under the AB-850 mechanism. Additionally, AB-850 authorizes water agencies to repay these bonds through water utility rate increases – the same way as other revenue bonds not issued under the SB-850 mechanism by water agencies. Such rate increases are also subject to Proposition 218 approval under the exempt category (i.e. only a public hearing is required). Since the enactment of AB-850, a JPA, called Southern California Public Water Authority (SCPWA), has been established by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Burbank Water and Power (LADWP, 2015). The first two members of the SCPWA are the City of Los Angeles and the City of Burbank. The Beach Cities can consider becoming members of the SCPWA. However, details on how bond proceeds can be directed to pay for eligible stormwater projects identified in the EWMP will need to be further evaluated. It is expected that high level of collaboration and coordination between stormwater and water agencies would be required. SB-628–Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD) will allow issuance of general obligation bonds within the EIFD inside a city or a county. The Bill authorizes a legislative body to establish an enhanced infrastructure financing district, adopt an infrastructure financing plan, and issue bonds upon approval by 55% of the voters to finance public capital facilities such as collection and treatment of water for urban uses and flood control projects. Under the provisions of SB-628, a City or a County can establish an EIFD of any size. If a defined EIFD has fewer than 12 registered voters, only a protest hearing is required to be conducted for landowners. The number of votes that each landowner gets will depend on the size of the land they own. The ballot will specify a vote per acre or a portion of an acre. The bonds issued under this bill will be repaid through property tax increase (i.e. tax increment financing). The district will cease to exist in no more than 45 years from the date on which bond issuance is approved. 7.4 STATE REVOLVING FUNDS Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Program, which is managed by the State Water Resource Control Board and funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency, is an alternative funding source for development of new infrastructure projects that will benefit water quality. The CWSRF finances water quality projects similar to those proposed in the EWMP, including nonpoint source, watershed protection or restoration, estuary management projects (USEPA, 2014). The main advantage of CWSRF is that their interest rates are typically much lower than market rates (e.g. 3% for a 20-year loan instead of 6%). The loans are project-specific and can serve as a good financial resource for funding project design and construction. The cost-saving achieved from utilizing the CWSRF can vary between 17% and 25% of the total project costs compared to conventional loans (USEPA, 2014; SWRCB, 2014). The maximum repayment term is 20 years. The CWSRF also has an Expanded Use program that provides funding for stormwater treatment and Page 724 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 7 | Potential Funding Sources and Financial Strategy 7-9 | Page 2018 diversion, sediment and erosion control as well as stream restoration projects (CFCC, 2015). This special program offers interest rate at one-half of the general obligation bond rate with a repayment period of up to 30 years. There is no limit in terms of the amount an agency can borrow under this program. The main limitation of the CWSRF is that it cannot be used for project operation and maintenance (O&M) purposes (USEPA, 2013b). The Infrastructure State Revolving Fund Program managed by the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank provides financing for public infrastructure projects for environmental mitigation purposes (CFCC, 2015). The loan can be used for construction or modification of public infrastructure, including educational, cultural, and social facilities, purchase and installation of pollution control equipment, and parks and recreation facilities. The loan size can range between $50,000 and $25 million with a maximum repayment period of 30 years. The interest rate is based on market rate but may be adjusted based on the social and economic status of the area where the project will be implemented. Access to the State Revolving Funds is limited by the agencies’ ability to borrow due to repayment of other debt obligations (e.g. lease burden). It has been reported that a typical median net lease burden for a California county is 1.7% of general fund revenues while the total burden of lease and General Fund obligations is 1.9% (Moody, 2012). Loan repayment will require alternative funding sources if reliance on general fund resources is not an option. 7.5 LOCAL PUBLIC FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND APPROVAL PROCEDURES Stormwater charges are potentially the most critical local funding source to finance stormwater programs in California. These charges include stormwater fees and taxes, as well as other funds generated through general obligation and revenue bond issuance. Table 7-3 provides an overview of potential local funding sources that may be utilized to provide funds to finance stormwater programs. An important factor to consider when utilizing these funding mechanisms is the respective approval mechanisms as discussed below. Page 725 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 7 | Potential Funding Sources and Financial Strategy 7-10 | Page 2018 Table 7-3. Local Funding Opportunities Fees Taxes Bonds • Fixed and volumetric service fees • Property assessments or fees • Developer fees or connection fees (a one-time fee) • Permitting fees General taxes • Property, sales, and other activities Special taxes • Parcel taxes to pay for flood protection, stormwater management, watershed protection • Sales tax add-ons • Transient Occupancy Tax to pay for creeks restoration and water quality improvement projects General bonds • Repaid through a property tax surcharge Revenue bonds • Issued by local utilities (e.g. water) • Repaid by service fees, developer fees, plus occasional special taxes Local funding opportunities presented in Table 7-3 are subject to approval mechanisms that can vary from holding a simple written protest hearing to an election, depending on the type of funding sought after (Table 7-4). The types of charges that are deemed to be most suitable for stormwater-related services are property-related fees. For a property-based flood control-related stormwater management fees, an election is required to be conducted under the provisions of Proposition 218. However, there are two categories under Proposition 218 that are exempt from the election approval requirements. They are water-related and refuse collection services. The recent approval of AB2403 has extended the definition of water in Proposition 218 to include stormwater capture projects for infiltration and direct non-potable uses, which means that these projects are also exempt from the election requirement under Proposition 218. Even with the extended definition of water in the California Constitution, the existing form of Proposition 218 still requires voter approval for stormwater fees which has limited stormwater agencies’ ability to generate sufficient revenue to support stormwater projects related to permit compliance. An amendment to Proposition 218 that will allow stormwater fees to be treated like water, sewer, and refuse fees, is being discussed and considered (CSQA, 2015). A new AB-1362, which is designed to include the definition of “stormwater” into the California Constitution’s Article XIII C and Article XIII D, was introduced to the State Assembly on February 27, 2015. The introduction of this Bill marks the first step toward such an amendment of Proposition 218. Given the existing unique regulatory framework and limitation of Proposition 218, some local governments have broken down the stormwater revenue requirements by functions instead of a single property-related fee. Some of them have utilized the exempt category under Proposition 218 to fund stormwater projects with success. The Cities of Signal Hill, Poway, and Solana Beach, for example, have utilized a surcharge on trash collection fees to cover the some of the cost for stormwater-related trash collection and management. A surcharge on water utility fees has also been used by the Cities of Del Mar, Oceanside, and Solana Beach to provide funding to fund stormwater operation as part of the drinking water pollution prevention effort (Farfsing and Watson, 2014). Page 726 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 7 | Potential Funding Sources and Financial Strategy 7-11 | Page 2018 Pollution prevention is an important component in stormwater management. Given that majority of the pollutants in stormwater runoff originate from vehicles, some local governments have used other non-property-related surcharges to provide funding for stormwater programs. For example, the Orange County Transportation Authority has used the County’s sales tax to provide some funding for a water quality improvement and environmental cleanup program. The San Mateo County has also added a surcharge on the vehicle license fee to provide funding for their stormwater pollution management program. It is also foreseeable that pollutant specific, such as a TMDL-related fee could be established to provide funding for TMDL compliance related programs in the future. In addition to fees that provide steady revenue, another possible revenue source would be to charge fines to property owners that violate discharge limits (volumetric- or TMDL-based). Fines are not considered as a stable financial income, however it discourages behavior or practices that will lead to non-compliance. Furthermore, fines are exempt from election requirements under Proposition 26 and have been commonly used by water agencies to discourage excessive water consumption behavior. The use of fines under Proposition 26 as a financial instrument to management stormwater discharge in urban areas is still uncommon but might worth exploring. Table 7-4.

Page 727 of 1021 Beach Cities EWMP | Section 7 | Potential Funding Sources and Financial Strategy 7-12 | Page 2018 7.6 PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Public private partnerships (P3) can be achieved through two approaches. The conventional approach will involve having the private partner to undertake design and construction, and sometimes even operation and maintenance of the facilities. The private partner will recover the cost plus their return-on-investment through a guaranteed revenue stream (e.g. a user fee) over a long period (e.g. 30- 40 years). The main advantage of such an approach is that the upfront financing costs are provided through the private partner while the project performance is guaranteed by the private partner. Also, P3 can be utilized when agencies have restrictions on the amount of debt that they can carry (e.g. agencies want to maintain low lease burden or have high lease burden). Potential cost saving can be achieved through higher financial efficiency during project implementation phase. P3 can also expedite project implementation by simplifying administrative procedures for financing as well as eliminating the need for tendering. The main challenge for implementation of P3 is to get voters to approve a longer revenue stream to repay the private partner. The amendment of Proposition 218 is expected to lower such hurdle for providing such a revenue stream. The second P3 approach is through direct financial subsidies to local projects that do not contribute to cash revenue generation. However, subsidies can create a financial incentive to encourage local participation without providing the full cost for project implementation. Such an approach can increase financial efficiency by leveraging financial input from communities. A list of cities that utilize financial subsidies to maximize their local stormwater capture capacity is provided in Table 7-5. Based on these examples presented in Table 7-5, subsidies can be given out in forms of 1) rebates per project with caps for stormwater runoff reduction projects, 2) rebate per rain barrel or cistern, 3) rebate per parcel, 4) stormwater fee reduction, and 5) cost sharing. Among all the runoff capture subsidy programs listed in Table 7-5, the approach adopted by the City and County of San Francisco is considered as the most progressive. The City and County adopted the onsite Water Reuse for Commercial, Multi-family, and Mixed Use Development Ordinance which amended the San Francisco Health Code to allow for the collection, treatment, and use of alternative water sources (including stormwater runoff) for non-potable applications. The City and County has since developed a Non-potable Water Program that allows commercial, mixed use, and multifamily residential property owners to collect, treat and reuse water from various sources onsite, including stormwater runoff. The Program also allows the property owners to act as local non-potable water suppliers to provide non-potable water to buildings in the vicinity. Property owners or developers are required to comply with stringent monitoring and reporting requirements for 10 years in order to maintain such privilege. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has created a grant assistant program that provides up to $250,000 for single building projects and up to $500,000 for district-scale projects meeting specific eligibility criteria to encourage participation.

Such a strategy could potentially reduce the risk of insufficient support by voters or property owners. Based on the above discussions, a summary of potential financial approaches is provided in Table 7-6.

INTRODUCTION Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec) was retained by the City of Hermosa Beach to perform a desktop review for potential drywell locations east of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) between 1st Street and 10th Street in Hermosa Beach, California (the “Site”). The City of Hermosa Beach is planning to implement a series of drywells at the Site to capture stormwater and dry weather flows within 118 acres of the Herondo Drain watershed. This desktop review documents the review of publicly available records and regulatory files to assess potential environmental conditions associated with the Site. 2. SITE DESCRIPTION The Site is located east of PCH between 1st Street and 10th Street in Hermosa Beach, California and is surrounded by a mix of commercial and residential properties. The location of the Site and the proposed drywell locations are shown on Figure 1. 3. PHYSICAL SETTING - HYDROLOGY In general, groundwater flow direction may vary depending on area groundwater pumping, surface water bodies, land use and development, localized topography, and other macro and micro features. The Site is located within the Coastal Plain of Los Angeles County Groundwater Basin, West Coast Subbasin. Water bearing deposits within the Basin include unconsolidated and semi- consolidated marine and alluvium sediments. Injection wells in the West Coast Basin Barrier create a north-south trending groundwater mound and influences the groundwater levels and flow direction in the local area (CA DWR, 2004). Groundwater is projected to flow to the west towards the Pacific Ocean, located approximately 0.6-miles west of the Site. Based on groundwater measurements from a Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LADPW)1 groundwater observation well located approximately 650 feet east-southeast of the Site (Well Number 714Q), depth to groundwater was reported at 156.5 feet below ground surface (bgs) in 2008. 4. RECORDS REVIEW Geosyntec searched the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) GeoTracker online database 2 and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) EnviroStor3 online database for information relevant to the environmental condition of the Site and vicinity properties located within 1/3 mile from the Site. Properties greater than 1/3 mile from the Site were not evaluated because they are not anticipated to adversely affect the Site based on their location and proximity. 1 https://dpw.lacounty.gov/general/wells/# 2 https://geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/ 3 https://www.envirostor.dtsc.ca.gov/public/ Page 740 of 1021 CWR0645/05 Hermosa Beach Drywells, Herondo 2 Mar-23 Sites considered to be potential environmental concerns: • Desert Petroleum is located within the northeast portion of the Site at 890 PCH and listed as a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) cleanup case (T0603701296). A LUST case was opened in 1996 for a release of gasoline affecting groundwater. The case is listed as completed and closed in 1999, however, records were not available for review online. Due to the lack of additional information, this facility is considered a potential environmental concern. Sites not considered to be potential environmental concerns: • Vasek Polak Porsche-Audo located approximately 40 feet west (hydraulically downgradient) at 199 PCH was listed as a LUST cleanup case (T0603705055). A release of gasoline impacting soil was discovered during tank closure activities in 1996 and the case was issued closure in 1997. No records were available for review online, however, based on the lack of groundwater impact and downgradient location, this facility is not considered a potential environmental concern. • Mobil #11-E3F located approximately 40 feet west (hydraulically downgradient) at 931 PCH was listed as a LUST cleanup case (T0603704808). The facility is an active Mobile gasoline service station. In 2001, soil contamination was discovered during dispenser upgrade activities. In 2007, soil samples collected during a subsurface investigation reported low to non-detect concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons constituents. Groundwater was not encountered to a total depth of 45 feet (Exxon Mobil, 2007). The case was issued closure by the LADPW in 2010. Based on the lack of groundwater impact, downgradient location and regulatory closure status, this facility is not considered a potential environmental concern. • GTE Redondo Beach Central located approximately 70 feet south (hydraulically cross- gradient) at 102 PCH was listed as a LUST cleanup case (T0603701295). Diesel contamination affecting groundwater was discovered in 1987. The RWQCB issued a NFA letter confirming completion of site investigation and remedial action in 1996. No additional records regarding investigation activities was available for review online. Based on the time elapsed since the release and the closure status of the case, this facility is not considered a potential environmental concern. Page 741 of 1021 CWR0645/05 Hermosa Beach Drywells, Herondo 3 Mar-23 • Jeep Eagle Dealership located approximately 180 feet southeast (hydraulically cross- gradient) at 125 PCH was listed a LUST cleanup case (T0603705276). A release of aviation fuel to soil was reported in 1991 and the case was issued closure in 1991. No records were available for review online. Based on the lack of groundwater impact and distance from the Site, this facility is not considered a potential environmental concern. 5. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Geosyntec has conducted a desktop review of the Site located east of PCH between 1st Street and 10th Street in Hermosa Beach, California. In 1996, a LUST case was investigated at the Site (Desert Petroleum, 890 PCH) involving a release of gasoline to groundwater. The facility received regulatory closure, however, records were not available for review online. Therefore, the Site likely has a high environmental risk potential in terms of hazardous substances and/or petroleum products in the soil, soil vapor, and groundwater from the adjoining historical Desert Petroleum property. However, this case is at least 250-ft from any proposed drywell. Furthermore, no exclusions for drywell suitability, as defined in the California Drywell Guidance Research and Recommendations Report (Geosyntec, 2020), are present at the proposed drywell sites. Exclusions include less than a 10-ft separation between the base of the drywell to the seasonally high groundwater table, sites within contaminated soils or contaminate groundwater plumes, sites with risk of septic effluent mobilization, sites within 150 feet of a drinking water well, sites within 250- ft of sources of surface water and groundwater contamination 4, and sites with slopes greater than 15% without a geotechnical review. Also consistent with the guidance, given that the contributing drainage areas do not include industrial facilities, the risk of the proposed drywells introducing additional contaminants into the groundwater basin is low to medium; pretreatment appropriate to the level of risk will be implemented as recommended. 6. LIMITATIONS This desktop review is limited in scope and summarizes the findings from online research and documentation available at the time of the Review. No in-person file review or Site reconnaissance were performed. Attachments: Figure 1: Site Layout Map 4 Sources of surface water and groundwater contamination include auto shops, gas stations, dry cleaners, hazardous materials sites, contaminated soils, contaminated groundwater plumes, etc. Page 742 of 1021 CWR0645/05 Hermosa Beach Drywells, Herondo 4 Mar-23 7.

Approve the inclusion of the After Dark Tour LA 2026 on the 2026 Special Events Calendar on Saturday, October 17 to Sunday, October 18 ; 2. Approve the inclusion of the After Dark Tour LA 2026 on the 2026 Special Events Calendar on Saturday, October 24 to Sunday, October 25; 3. Deny the inclusion of the After Dark Tour LA 2026 on the 2026 Special Events Calendar, regardless of dates; or 4. Approve the inclusion of the After Dark Tour LA 2026 on the 2026 Special Events Calendar contingent on additional negotiations or event elements, as directed by City Council, between staff and Nike, the event producer. Executive Summary: The Parks and Recreation Department is tasked with overseeing special events on public property. Staff has recently engaged in discussions with Nike regarding the potential to host a 13.1 mile women’s race that would begin in Redondo Beach, pass through Hermosa Beach and possible other South Bay cities to be determined, and conclude in Redondo Beach. As a result of these discussions, the City received a formal special event application from Nike on January 8, 2026 proposing the After Dark Tour LA 2026 in the month of October 2026. At its February 10, 2026 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (Commission) held a public hearing and recommended City Council hold a public hearing to consider including Impact Level III new special event, After Dark Tour LA 2026, on the 2026 Special Events Calendar. Page 746 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5 Background: The City’s Special Events Policy Guide, available on the City website, provides event producers with detailed information regarding application requirements, review and approval procedures, applicable fees, relevant policies, and Hermosa Beach Municipal Code provisions related to special events. Events are evaluated using the Impact Characteristics Matrix and classified as Impact Level I, II, or III. The assigned impact level determines application deadlines and the level of review and approval required. Based on the proposed event logistics, and anticipated impacts, the After Dark Tour LA 2026 qualifies as an Impact Level III event, which requires review by the Commission and City Council approval through a formal public hearing. Past Commission Action Meeting Date Description February 10, 2026 The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission recommended City Council hold a public hearing to consider including Impact Level III new special event, After Dark Tour LA 2026, on the 2026 Special Events Calendar. Discussion: Commission Review At its February 10, 2026 meeting, the Commission reviewed the proposed After Dark Tour LA 2026 event through a public hearing and expressed concern that residents and businesses did not have adequate time or sufficient information to provide meaningful input regarding potential impacts from the event as the event proposes use of various City streets and the Strand. As a result, the Commission suggested Nike distribute physical public notices to residents and businesses in advance of the March 10, 2026 City Council meeting to increase public participation and feedback. Nike subsequently mailed a postcard (Attachment 1) during the week of March 1, 2026 to all residents and businesses in the City notifying them of the City Council’s March 10, 2026 consideration of the event through a public hearing. In addition to concerns regarding public outreach, the Commission shared concern over potential impacts associated with the proposed event, including visitor and resident parking availability and residential access, particularly along Herm osa Avenue and adjacent streets; potential conflicts with other permitted events occurring the same weekend, including Volley4Sound, scheduled for Saturday, October 17 on the beach volleyball courts north of the Pier, and Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship W alk, scheduled for Sunday, October 18 on The Strand and Pier Plaza; and impacts to businesses within the event footprint due to street closures, restricted access, and changes in traffic circulation. Page 747 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5 Post-Commission Review Event Format Changes Following the Commission’s February 10, 2026 meeting, Nike submitted modifications to the original route along Hermosa Avenue in an effort to minimize community impacts and incorporate feedback from the Commission and City staff. The modifications, reflected in Table 1 below, reduce the overall length of the route on Hermosa Avenue and limit use to the west (southbound) lane only, thereby maintaining two -way traffic flow in the east (northbound) lane. The course map is provided with the After Dark Tour LA 2026 Event Overview (Attachment 2). The revised footprint along the southbound lane would affect approximately 31% of curb parking. Nike has indicated that additional off -site parking areas and shuttle services within Hermosa Beach would be provided to mitigate parking impacts. Nike further indicated that shifting the course from the northbound lanes to the southbound lanes of Hermosa Avenue would reduce overall impacts and allow for smoother two-way traffic operations. Event Details Nike’s After Dark Tour LA 2026 would be a 13.1 mile women’s race titled “After Dark Tour LA 2026” that begins in Redondo Beach, passes through Hermosa Beach, and may include other South Bay cities (to be determined), and concludes in Redondo Beach. The race would take place on various City streets and The Strand, as indicated in Table 1 below, with estimated closure times for each location. The proposed event date is Saturday, October 17, 2026, with teardown scheduled for Sunday, October 18, 2026, by 7:00 a.m. Table 1: Race Route and Times of Street/Strand Closure STREET START FINISH LANE CLOSED OPEN Herondo St. N.

Nike is also considering the inclusion of on-course activations, including music such as DJ(s) or local youth band(s), lighting of the course for event participant safety, and branding elements such as temporary signage along the route. Staff would work with Nike to ensure such on-course activations would be least impactful to surrounding residences and businesses. Page 748 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5 Nike would be providing a community impact donation , valued at approximately $50,000, consisting of sporting apparel, equipment, and service sponsorship to local Hermosa Beach youth sports organizations; 30 complimentary entries each to Mira Costa High School and Redondo Union High School track teams; and 100 complimentary entries for Hermosa Beach residents. Nike anticipates a positive economic impact for the City from event staff, participants and spectators of up to $1.68 million through dining, retail, services, and entertainment. This is further detailed in Nike’s After Dark Tour LA 2026 presentation (Attachment 3). The estimated number of participants is approximately 12,000. Nike plans to provide multiple designated spectator areas in locations to be determined and approved by staff that would allow for up to 250 spectators at each location, approximately 1,000 spectators in total, divided along the race route. Nike would be committed to timely load-out procedures to avoid interference with other scheduled events and to restore normal traffic patterns as quickly as possible. Should City Council have concerns with Nike’s first event date request of Saturday, October 17, with teardown on Sunday, October 18, due to potential conflicts with Volley4Sound (Saturday, October 17) and Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk (Sunday, October 18), Nike has proposed an alternate event date of Saturday, October 24, with teardown Sunday, October 25. There are other permitted events occurring during that weekend include the IBVL Tournament Series on Saturday, October 24 and Beach Tennis Tournament on Saturday, October 24 to Sunday, October 25. Nike has also committed to implementing a comprehensive business and resident notification plan to ensure that the community is adequately informed of the event and its impacts. Additional details are provided in the After Dark Tour LA 2026 Event Overview (Attachment 2), and Nike’s After Dark Tour LA 2026 presentation (Attachment 3) and the requested dates are included on the 2026 Special Events Calendar (Attachment 4). Special Event Policy Guide Exceptions Per the Special Events Policy Guide, only two events on any given day are permitted in the City. Nike’s first event date request of October 17, with teardown on Sunday, October 18, would result in three events on Sunday, October 18, including the Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk and AAU High School Beach Volleyball League Matches. Appro val of this first date request would therefore require an exception to the Special Events Policy Guide to allow for activity related to more than two events on that day. Similarly, Nike’s second event date request of Saturday, October 24, with teardown Sun day, October 25, would require the same exception for Saturday, October 24 due to the IBVL Tournament Series and Beach Tennis Tournament scheduled that day. Page 749 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5 Lastly, if the event is approved by City Council, Nike would continue working with the City’s Special Event Team, which includes representatives from all applicable City departments, the Hermosa Beach Police Department, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department, throughout the planning and permitting process. Coordination will focus on ensuring all public safety requirements are met, including overnight security for event equipment, crowd management, emergency access lanes, accessible seating areas, and compliance with all permit conditions. Staff would also work with the event producers to develop a targeted marketing strategy consistent with City standards. Fiscal Impact: If approved, the event is anticipated to generate approximately $30,000 in revenue to the General Fund. The $30,000 would consist of location fees for the street closures, the Strand, Pier Plaza, and the teardown day. Since the event is planned for October 2026, it would be budgeted for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026-27. Direct costs for staff and services would be determined later, if approved. All costs would be the responsibility of the event producer. Attachments: 1. After Dark Tour LA 2026 Postcard 2. After Dark Tour LA 2026 Event Overview 3.

More information on how to view and provide public comment on the matter can be found at the City of Hermosa Beach website, www.hermosabeach.gov. To host this event safely, the following temporary road closures and trafﬁc adjustments would be in place: The southbound lane of Hermosa Ave between Herondo Street and 25th Street would be closed from 4:30 PM–9:30 PM. During this time, trafﬁc would either be diverted or managed as twoway trafﬁc in the northbound lane. During this closure, designated time windows would allow vehicles to cross the race course to reach open roads. Additional parking options would also be provided to offset the temporary loss of onstreet parking on Hermosa Ave. To maintain access to Pier Plaza and the nearby parking garages, the race route would brieﬂy divert onto Beach Drive between 10th Street and 15th Street. Access to Pier Plaza would be maintained via Pier Avenue. The Strand would be partially closed to pedestrian trafﬁc between 5:00 PM–10:00 PM for the race route. A dedicated pedestrian walkway would remain open on the east side of the Strand to ensure access for residents. Intermittent crossing points and a pedestrian bridge at Pier Plaza would also remain available to maintain convenient east–west access. THE NIKE AFTER DARK TOUR IS A WOMEN LED 13.1MILEHALF MARATHON.

Executive Summary: Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”) 3.32.030 is inconsistent with state law regarding the imposition and collection of Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) from hotels as defined in HBMC 3.32.020. Currently, HBMC only imposes the collection of TOT on certain occupancies, including “permitted short-term rental as defined” which is not defined under HBMC 3.32.020. Similarly, voter approved increases in the TOT have not defined what type of occupancy the increase applied to, and state law allows the imposition of TOT on the occupancy, regardless of the type or whether the type is permitted or not. Therefore, Staff is recommending that Council adopt the code changes discussed below to be consistent with state law. Additionally, HBMC 3.32.100 states that appeals regarding the imposition of TOT and any interest or penalties may be heard by the Council, which is burdensome, inefficient, and could create claims of actual or perceived bias. Therefore, Staff recommends that Council revise HBMC 3.32.100 so that any appeal is heard by the City Manager or their designee, so that appeals can be heard by a third-party administrative hearing officer. Background: HBMC 3.32.020 provides the following definitions, in relevant part:  Hotel means any structure, which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes, and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house, rooming house, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof. Page 821 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5  Occupancy means the use or possession, or the right to the use or possession of any room or room or portion thereof, in any hotel for dwellin g, lodging or sleeping purposes.  Operator means the person who is the proprietor of the hotel, hostel, or any other permitted short-term rental, whether in the capacity of owner, lessee, sublessee, mortgagee in possession, licensee, and includes companies that arrange for reservations online. Though the operator performs his functions through a managing agent of any type or character other than an employee, the managing agent shall also be determined an operator for the purposes of this chapter and shall have the same duties and liabilities as his principal. Compliance with the provisions of this chapter by either the principal or the managing agent shall, however, be considered to be compliance by both.  Transient means: o Any person as defined in this section who exercises, for any period of time, occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement; or o Any individual who personally exercises occupancy or is enti tled to occupancy by reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement, for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less. HBMC 3.32.030 states:  For occupancy of any hotel, motel, hostel, hospital or permitted short-term rental as defined, each transient is subject to and shall pay a tax in the amount of fourteen (14) percent of the rent or bill charged by the operator. Said tax constitutes a debt owed by the transient to the city which is extinguished only by payment to the operator of the hotel, motel, hostel, hospital, or other permitted short-term accommodation at the time the rent or bill is paid. If the rent or bill is paid in installments, a proportionate share of the tax shall be paid with each installment. The unpaid tax shall be due upon the transient’s ceasing to occupy space in the hotel, motel, hostel, hospital or other permitted short-term accommodation. If for any reason the tax due is not paid to the operator, the tax administrator may require that such tax shall be paid directly to the tax administrator. (Emphasis added.) Regarding TOT appeals, HBMC 3.32.100 allows any operator of a hotel who is aggrieved by the imposition of TOT may file an appeal to the Council through the City Manager’s office within a certain time period for an appeal hearing.

November 21, 2019 Certification of 2019 elections and Ordinance No. 19-1401 approved. Analysis: Definitions – HBMC 3.32.020 Under the definition of “Operator”, using the word “permitted” in describing any type of lodging is inconsistent with state law as discussed below, and should be removed. “Short- term” rental, as it appears in HBMC 3.32.020 under the definition of “Operator” is one of several examples of lodging that falls under the broad definition of “Hotel.” Tax Imposed – HBMC 3.32.030 There are several reasons to remove the language referring to “permitted short term rental as defined” and “other permitted short -term accommodation”—this language is inconsistent with state law, it is inconsistent the definitions and application of HBMC 3.32 generally, and it is inconsistent with voter approved ballot measures regarding the imposition of TOT. State Law State law governs many of the functions of municipali ties including taxation authority. Specifically, California Revenue and Taxation Code 7280(a) states, in relevant part:  The legislative body of any city, county, or city and county may levy a tax on the privilege of occupying a room or rooms, or other living space, in a hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, or other lodging unless the occupancy is for a period of more than 30 days. The state’s definition of lodging regarding TOT is consistent with HBMC 3.32.020, but inconsistent with the language of HBMC 3.32.030. California Rev & Tax Code 7280(a) does not limit TOT to permitted or unpermitted uses, neither does it distinguish its application to short term rentals, which already fall under the broad definition of lodging therein. Removing “permitted short term rental” and “other permitted short-term accommodation” is consistent with the breadth of authority provided by state law. HBMC and TOT Ballot Language HBMC 3.32.030 refers to “permitted short term rental as defined ,” however, no further definition is provided under HBMC 3.32. Rather, the definitions related to TOT are found under HBMC 3.32.020 as described above, which do not include any reference to “short term rentals” permitted or otherwise, as a separate type of lodging. Instead, HBMC 3.32.020 includes a broad definition of hotel which, similar to CA Rev & Tax Code 7280(a), Page 823 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5 covers what is commonly understood to be a short-term rental—a stay in any structure or portion thereof, intended or designed for occupancy by a transient. Similarly, the anomalous language, “permitted short term rental,” is inconsistent with the TOT approved by city voters in 2015 and 2019. The plain language of both ballot measures asked voters to vote for or against an increase in the TOT. In 2015, the voters overwhelmingly approved a TOT increase from 10% to 12%, and then overwhelmingly approved a TOT increase from 12% to 14% in 2019 (Attachment 1 & Attachment 2). Neither ballot measure included any stipulation on what type of occupancy th ey applied to, nor did either limit the imposition of TOT to permitted or unpermitted occupancies. In adopting the results of each election, Council at the time decided to artificially narrow the application of each by ordinance only after the ballot mea sures were approved, resulting in the “permitted short term rental” language in HBMC 3.32.030 (Attachment 3 & Attachment 4). Again, this language is not found in the ballot language approved by the voters, and neither is it found in any other section of the HBMC related to TOT, nor is it defined therein. Removing the aforementioned language will make HBMC 3.32.030 consistent with state law, consistent with the definitions of HBMC 3.32.020, and consistent with the ballot measures approved by the voters of Hermosa Beach. This is also consistent with court cases that have held that TOT is a tax on the occupant for the privilege of occupying a room or space in a hotel for less than 30 days, and it applies regardless of whether a hotel is properly permitted or in compliance with zoning codes. It is important to note that this recommendation does not change the calculation of the TOT, nor is it expanding its application as it has always applied to what was approved by the voters—the imposition of the City’s TOT on the occupancy of transients at a hotel as defined by HBMC 3.32.020. TOT Appeals – 3.32.100 As noted above, HBMC 3.32.100 currently requires that all appeals related to the imposition of the TOT be heard by the City Council. Most administrative violatio ns of the HBMC are heard by an independent, third-party administrative hearing officer which offers a better alternative to an appeal before the Council for several reasons:  Efficient Scheduling—it can be difficult to coordinate a meeting among all five councilmembers and staff to hear an appeal; using a single administrative hearing officer will be easier to schedule.  Legal Knowledge—most administrative hearing officers are attorneys with an understanding of the law and how it can apply to the facts of eac h case.  Fairness—potential appellants may know some or all Councilmembers while others may not; using an independent, third-party administrative hearing officer will Page 824 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5 help protect the City from any accusations of real or perceived bias regarding the appeal process or outcomes. For these reasons, staff recommends that the Council approve changing the language of HBMC 3.32.100 to remove the Council as the appeals hearing body and allow that all appeals of the TOT be heard by the City Manager or their designee, so that appeals can be heard by an independent, third-party administrative hearing officer. Options: Option 1:  Introduce by title only and waive first re ading of an ordinance updating Hermosa Beach Municipal Code 3.32.020 Definitions; 3.32.030 Tax Imposed; and 3.32.100 Appeal.  At a future meeting, adopt by title only and waive second reading of an ordinance updating Hermosa Beach Municipal Code 3.32.020 Definitions; 3.32.030 Tax Imposed; and 3.32.100 Appeal.  Following adoption of ordinance, direct the City Clerk to print and publish the summary ordinances in a newspaper of general circulation within 15 days following adoption and post it on the City’s bulletin for 30 days. Option 2:  Do not approve Staff’s recommended changes to the Transient Occupancy Tax code, and/or provide further direction to Staff as determined by Council. Fiscal Impact: There is no direct fiscal impact to updating HBMC sections 3.32.020 Definitions, 3.32.030 Tax Imposed or HBMC 3.32.100 Appeal. Attachments: 1.

Title. (See above) SECTION 2. Findings and Declarations. The people of Hermosa Beach find and declare all of the following: a) The City of Hermosa Beach has overdue facility and infrastructure improvement needs that require more than the City's available or projected revenues. b) Our City has not increased the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) rate (Hotel Bed Tax) since 1990, and in that time this rate has dropped below the average rate of taxation compared to neighboring municipalities. c) The Hotel Bed Tax is a valuable source of revenue for our City's General Fund. d) The proposed increase of two (2) percent is estimated by City Staff to generate an estimated additional $440,000 in revenue per year from the currently permitted short-term occupancy operators (hotels, motels, and hostels). e) The additional two (2) percent Tax on those who stay overnight in our City is commensurate with the average Tax of neighboring cities and those in Southern California, and is not an undue or unfair burden to visitors to Hermosa Beach as this Tax is an expected expense that we all are accustomed to paying when traveling anywhere, but especially to desirable, unique, and beautiful locales. f) A Hotel Bed Tax is not a new burden on the hotel or other permitted short-term accommodation operators as City code currently requires them to collect a bed tax from their guests. g) The proposed Tax increase does not put the hotel or other permitted short-term accommodation operators at a competitive disadvantage since twelve (12) percent is the average Page 1 of 3 15-1358 Page 835 of 1021 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Hotel Bed Tax by neighboring cities that do not provide the unique, wonderful ocean/beachfront access, small town atmosphere, and clean, sparkling waters to enjoy while they are visiting. h) The overwhelming majority of those staying overnight in Hermosa Beach are tourists. Therefore, the majority of the Hotel Bed Tax will be paid by non-residents. i) Our current occupancy rate of 81 % is comprised mainly of pleasure and recreational travelers who do not decide where they are traveling based on the Hotel Bed Tax. SECTION 3. Purpose and Intent. The people of the City of Hermosa Beach hereby declare their purpose and intent in enacting this ordinance to be as follows: a) To protect our City infrastructure by enhancing and increasing a stable, reliable, and adequate funding source for it. b) To generate incremental Hotel Bed Tax revenue to the City by adjusting the Tax on hotel operators and other short-term accommodations that may be permitted in the future. SECTION 4. Section 3.32.020 of Title 5, Chapter 3.32.020 is amended as follows: Operator" means the person who is the proprietor of the hotel, motel, hostel, or any other permitted short-term rental, whether in the capacity of owner, lessee, sublessee, mortgagee in possession, licensee, and includes companies that arrange for reservations online. Though the operator performs his functions through a managing agent of any type or character other than an employee, the managing agent shall also be determined an operator for the purposes of this chapter and shall have the same duties and liabilities as his principal. Compliance with the provisions of this chapter by either the principal or the managing agent shall, however, be considered to be compliance by both. SECTION 5. Section 3.32.030 of Title 5, Chapter 3.32.030 is amended as follows: For the occupancy of any hotel, motel, hostel, hospital, or permitted short term rental as defined, each transient is subject to and shall pay a tax in the amount of 12% of the rent of bill charged by the operator. Said tax constitutes a debt owed by the transient to the City which is extinguished only bypU anent to the operator of the hotel hospital, or other permitted short term accommodation at the time the rent or bill is 12aid. If the rent or bill is paid in installments, a proportionate share of the tax shall be paid with each installment. The unpaid tax shall be due upon the transient's ceasing to occupy space in the hotel, hospital, or other permitted short term Page 2 of 3 15-1358 Page 836 of 1021 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 to 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 accommodation. If for any reason the tax due is not paid to the operator, the tax administrator may require that such tax shall be paid directly to the tax administrator. SECTION 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective upon approval by the electorate in the manner provided by law on January 1, 2016. SECTION 7. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, part or portion of this ordinance is for any reason upheld to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. SECTION 8. Amendment or Repeal. The provisions of this Act may be renumbered as to Group, but otherwise may not be amended or repealed by the City Council without a vote of the people. SECTION 9. Clarification. The modifications to Section 3.32.02 set forth in Paragraph 4 of this ordinance are declarative of existing law and merely clarifying the existing code. ORDINANCE NO. 15-1358 - PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED BY THE ELECTORATE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH AT THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 3, 2015, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: ATTEST: City Clerk AYES - 3,026 NOES — 537 of the City Council and MAYOR of the City of Hermosa Beach, California Page 3 of 3 15-1358 Page 837 of 1021 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ORDINANCE NO. 19-1401 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, INCREASING THE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX (HOTEL TAX) BY 2% FROM 12% TO 14% AND AMENDING CHAPTER 3.32 OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE The People of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, do hereby ordain as follows: Section 1. Recitals. A. The purpose of this Ordinance is to increase the rate of the transient occupancy tax paid by hotel/motel and other short-term guests from its current rate of 12% to 14%. B. The transient occupancy tax ("TOT/hotel tax") is paid only by guests who stay in local hotels and other lodgings and ensures that out-of-town visitors pay their fair share of their use of City roads, parks, the beach, public safety and other City services. C. The revenues from the TOT/hotel tax remain entirely in the City, are controlled by the City, and are used for unrestricted general municipal purposes such as public safety, infrastructure, street repair and park improvements, and cannot be taken by the County or the State. D. An increase of 2% in the transient occupancy tax is estimated to raise approximately $550,000, which would be used by the City to protect the residents' quality of life and property values and continue to provide excellent quality services. By keeping the city safe, clean and well -maintained, updating the hotel tax protects the quality of life and property values for local residents while keeping Hermosa Beach a special place to live, work and play. E. The City's excellent public safety services continue to contribute to the quality of life residents have come to expect and deserve in Hermosa Beach. Public safety has consistently been a top priority for the City and residents. Updating the hotel tax helps maintain local public safety services such as 911 response, police, fire and paramedic services.

For occupancy of any hotel, motel, hostel, hospital or permitted short term rental as defined, each transient is subject to and shall pay a tax in the amount of fourteen percent of the rent or bill charged by the operator. Said tax constitutes a debt owed by the transient to the City which is extinguished only by payment to the operator of the hotel, motel, hostel, hospital, or other permitted short term accommodation at the time the rent or bill is paid. If the rent or bill is paid in installments, a proportionate share of the tax shall be paid with each installment. The unpaid tax shall be due upon the transient's ceasing to occupy space in the hotel, motel, hostel, hospital or other permitted short term accommodation.

Page 847 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 6 Meeting Date: March 10, 2026 Staff Report No. 26-CDD-025 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 17.21 OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS CEQA: Determine the action to be Statutorily Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code § 21080.17. (Community Development Director Alison Becker) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Determine the action to be Statutorily Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code § 21080.17; 2. Conduct a public hearing to consider repealing and replacing Chap ter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code relating to Accessory (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU); and 3. Introduce by title only and waive first reading of an ordinance (Attachment 1) approving Zone Text Amendment (TA 26-01) repealing and replacing Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. Executive Summary: The proposed ordinance would repeal and replace Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to comply with recent changes to state law that impose new limits on local authority to regulate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs). Except as otherwise noted, these new laws took effect on January 1, 2026. The Planning Commission voted unanimously during their January 20, 2026 meeting to adopt a resolution advising City Council to adopt the proposed ordinance , and to find the action statutorily exempt from CEQA. Background: In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs. In late 2025, four new bills were enacted that further amend state ADU law. Additionally, on December 29, 2025 the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) sent the City of Hermosa Beach a letter indicating that the City’s ADU ordinance failed to comply with state ADU laws in various ways. Page 848 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 6 (Attachment 2). The proposed ordinance would resolve the issues identified by HCD and bring the City’s ADU policies in compliance with state law as described below. At its January 20, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission, which serves as the advisor to the City Council on all land-use matters, reviewed the related Zone Text Amendment and unanimously recommended City Council’s approval amending Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code related to Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units in line with the staff recommendation, and in the interest of compliance with State law. Past Commission Action Meeting Date Description January 20, 2026 Planning Commission holds a public hearing and unanimously votes to approve a resolution to recommend that the City Council repeal and replace Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code relating to Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. Assembly Bill (AB) 462 – Coastal Development Permits; Disaster-Affected Areas Existing law requires most ADUs proposed in the Coastal Zone to obtain a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) in addition to other local ADU permit requirements. Historically, the CDP for an ADU was not subject to the state ADU law’s 60-day shot clock to approve or deny a complete ADU application. Additionally, local permitting decisions on a CDP for an ADU could be appealed to the California Coastal Commission if the underlying property was subject to the Coastal Commission’s appeals jurisdiction (as set forth in Public Resources Code 30603). AB 462 alters the status quo on numerous fronts. Most notably, local agencies with a certified local coastal program (LCP) must now approve or deny a CDP application for an ADU within 60 days of receiving a complete application. The local agency’s review of the CDP application must also take place “concurrently with the process to approve or deny” any other permit required to approve the ADU (i.e., an ADU permit and building permit). (Gov. Code, § 66329(a).) AB 462 also eliminates the ability to appeal a CDP for an ADU to the Coastal Commission. If a local agency does not have a certified LCP, then it now must “immediately notify” the Coastal Commission when an ADU application is submitted. Subject to limited exceptions, the Coastal Commission’s review of the CDP application is subject to the same 60-day shot clock that applies to local agencies with a certified LCP. (Id., at (b)(1)–(5).) The City does not have a fully certified LCP, so City staff now immediately notifies the Coastal Commission when an ADU application is submitted. Beyond changes to CDP processing, AB 462 modifies the rules governing the issuance of a certificate of occupancy (CofO) for an ADU. Historically, state law has prohibited a local agency from issuing a CofO for an ADU before one is issued for the primary dwelling (i.e., the primary dwelling must have a CofO before the ADU.) Page 849 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 6 AB 462 creates a narrow exception to this prohibition for detached ADUs when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the Governor has declared a state of emergency for the county on or after February 1, 2025; (2) the primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the sta te of emergency proclamation; and (3) the ADU has been issued construction permits and passed all required inspections. (Gov. Code, § 66328(b).) If these conditions are satisfied, the detached ADU can receive a CofO before the primary dwelling. In all othe r scenarios, the primary dwelling still needs a CofO before one can be issued for an ADU. AB 462 was enacted as an urgency measure that took effect immediately when signed by the Governor (on October 10, 2025). The following three bills were enacted as non-urgency measures and took effect on January 1, 2026. AB 1154 – JADU Owner-Occupancy; Short-Term Rental When a JADU is developed, existing state law requires a property owner to reside in the JADU or remaining portion of the single-family dwelling. AB 1154 narrows this requirement to now only apply when a JADU shares sanitation facilities (bathroom) with the single-family dwelling. If the JADU has its own bathroom, then the property owner does not have to reside on the property at all. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66333(b).) AB 1154 also expressly prohibits JADUs from being used as short -term rentals (i.e., rented for a term shorter than 30 days). (See amended Gov. Code, § 66333(g).) The City’s ADU ordinance already included this prohibition, but it is now required by state law. SB 9; SB 543 – ADU Ordinance Submittal to HCD; Approval Under existing law, local agencies are required to submit a copy of their ADU ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) within 60 days of adoption. Last year’s SB 91 and SB 543 created a penalty for failing to do so by rendering null and void any local ordinance that is not submitted to HCD within 60 days of adoption. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66326(d); new Gov. Code, § 66333.5(d).) The bills further specify that a local ADU ordinance is null and void if HCD issues findings that the ordinance does not comply with state law and the local agency fails to respond to HCD within 30 days. (Id.) SB 543 – ADU Size; Number of ADUs; Impact Fees; Application Timeline SB 543 makes numerous changes and clarifications to state ADU law, most notably as it pertains to how ADU and JADU size allowances are calculated. Page 850 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 6 ADU & JADU Size Existing state law as well as the current Hermosa Beach ADU ordinance establishes that the maximum size of a JADU may not exceed 500 square feet. It also prohibits enforcement of certain development standards that would have the effect of preventing the development of an ADU that is at least 800 square feet pursuant to Government Code section 66314 through 66322. SB 543 amends state ADU law to specify that the allowable square footage of an ADU or JADU refers to “interior livable space” whereas previously the basis of measurement was left undefined and subject to local interpretation. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66313(d), 66321(b)(2).) Impact Fees Existing law exempts ADUS that are 750 square feet or smaller from development impacts fees (DIFs). SB 543 clarifies that DIFs may not be imposed on an ADU that has 750 or fewer square feet of interior livable space or on a JADU with 500 or fewer square feet of interior livable space. The bill also exempts an ADU or JADU with fewer than 500 square feet of interior livable space from school impact fees. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66311.5.) Quantity of ADUs Created Under Government Code Section 66323 Existing state law creates four categories of ADUs that must be approved if they comply with the limited standards provided in Government Code section 66323(a)(1)–(4). These are: 1. a converted ADU and JADU created on a lot with a proposed or existing single - family dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(1)); 2. a detached ADU created on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(2)); 3. converted ADUs created in an existing multifamily dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(3)); and 4. detached ADUs created on a lot with a proposed or existing multifamily dwelling. For some time, there has been uncertainty as to whether ADUs created under Government Code section 66323 could be combined. While the City’s municipal code allows combinations, HCD initially took the position in its 2020 ADU Handbook that state law does not require local agencies to allow combinations. But for the last few years, HCD has taken the opposite position: that yes, combinations are permitted. (See HCD January 2025 ADU Handbook, at p.19 [“[Pursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), local governments must allow units created pursuant to subparagraph s (1) and (2) together or (3) and (4) together”].) Page 851 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 6 SB 543 codifies HCD’s most recent interpretation by amending Government Code section 66323 to specifically allow combinations. Thus, state law now requires local agencies to permit a lot with a multifamily dwelling to have a converted ADU or ADUs created under section 66323(a)(3) and detached ADUs created under section 66323(a)(4), and lot with a single family dwelling to have a converted ADU and a JADU created under section 66323(a)(1) and a detached ADU created under section 66323(a)(2). ADU Permitting Process Existing law has long required local agencies to approve or deny an ADU application within 60 days of receiving a complete application. However, state law was silent with respect to incompleteness determinations, subsequent resubmittals, and appealing local decisions on ADU applications. SB 543 requires local agencies to now: 1. determine whether an ADU application is complete within 15 business days of submittal; 2. if the application is incomplete, within the same 15 days provide the applicant with a list of incomplete items and how to address them; 3. review a resubmitted application for completeness within 15 business days; 4. provide the applicant with a written appeal process for any incompleteness determination or denial (to the Planning Commission or City Council, or both); and 5. provide a final written determination on the appeal within 60 business days of receiving the appeal). (See amended Gov. Code, §§ 66317 [ADUs], 66335 [JADUs].) Discussion & Recommendation: AB 462 took effect immediately when signed, but it technically does not require any change to a local ADU ordinance; the City just needs to follow the new rules for CDP processing and issuance of a CofO, if applicable. The remaining bills took effect on January 1, 2026, and for the City’s ADU ordinance to remain valid and enforceable, it must comply with the new changes in state law. Adopting the proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) ensures that the City’s ADU ordinance would remain in compliance with state law in the manner identified by the letter from the California Department of Housing and Community Development dated December 29, 2025 (Attachment 2). For these reasons, staff, in line with the Planning Commission’s recommendation, recommend that City Council conduct a public hearing to approve an ordinance (Attachment 1) repealing and replacing Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code relating to Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. Environmental Determination: Under California Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Chapter 13 Page 852 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 6 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is California’s ADU law. Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA because it implements state ADU law.

No discretion or hearing. Ministerial permits for an ADU or JADU are considered and approved without discretionary review or a hearing. 3. Deadline to approve or deny ministerial approvals. The city must approve or deny an application to create an ADU or JADU within 60 days from the date that the city receives a complete application. If the city has not approved or denied the complete application within 60 days, the application is deemed approved unless either: a) The applicant requests a delay, in which case the 60-day time period is tolled for the period of the requested delay, or b) When an application to create an ADU or JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot, the city may delay acting on the permit application for the ADU or JADU until the city acts on the permit application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling, but the application to create the ADU or JADU will still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing. 4.

Concurrent review of demolition. A demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU is reviewed with the application for the ADU and issued at the same time. 17.21.050 Classes of ADUs and JADUs. A. Class 1: Statutorily Regulated. Class 1 ADUs and JADUs are approved under Government Code section 66323. If an ADU or JADU complies with each of the general requirements in section 17.21.060 below, it is allowed in each of the scenarios provided in this subsection (A). An ADU and JADU approved under subsection (A)(1) may be combined with an ADU approved under subsection (A)(2), and ADUs approved under subsection (A)(3) may be combined with ADUs approved under subsection (A)(4). 1. Converted on Lot with Single-Family: One ADU as described in this subsection (A)(1) and one JADU on a lot with a proposed or existing single- family dwelling on it, where the ADU or JADU: a) Is either: within the space of a proposed single-family dwelling; within the existing space of an existing single-family dwelling; or (in the case of an ADU only) within the existing space of an accessor y structure, plus up to 150 additional square feet if the expansion is limited to accommodating ingress and egress; and Page 861 of 1021 Page 9 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX b) Has exterior access that is independent of that for the single-family dwelling; and c) Has side and rear setbacks sufficient for fire and safety, as dictated by applicable building and fire codes. d) The JADU complies with the requirements of Government Code sections 66333 through 66339. 2.

Except for Class 1 ADUs approved under subsection (A) above, all ADUs are subject to the standards set forth in sections 17.21.060 and 17.21.070 below. Page 862 of 1021 Page 10 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX 17.21.060 General ADU and JADU Requirements and Development Standards. The following requirements apply to all Class 1 and Class 2 ADUs and JADUs: A. Zoning. 1. A Class 1 ADU approved under subsection 17.21.050(A) above may be created on a lot in a residential or mixed-use zone. 2. A Class 2 ADU approved under subsection 17.21.050(B) above may be created on a lot that is zoned to allow single-family dwelling residential use or multifamily dwelling residential use. 3. In accordance with Government Code section 66333(a), a JADU may only be created on a lot zoned for single-family residences. B. Height. 1. Except as otherwise provided by subsections (B)(2) and (B)(3) below, a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit may not exceed 16 feet in height. 2. A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or high quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit. 3. A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height. 4. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection (B)(4) may not exceed two stories. 5. For purposes of this subsection (B), height is measured from existing legal grade or the level of the lowest floor, whichever is lower, to the peak of the structure. Page 863 of 1021 Page 11 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX C. Fire Sprinklers. 1. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU or JADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence. 2. The construction of an ADU or JADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling. D. Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created. E. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwellin g (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot). F. Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite wastewater-treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years. G. Owner Occupancy. 1. ADUs. ADUs are not subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. 2. JADUs. a) Generally. As required by state law, JADUs are generally subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. b) Exceptions. The owner-occupancy requirement in this subsection (G)(2) does not apply in either of the following situations: (I) The JADU has separate sanitation facilities (i.e., does not share sanitation facilities with the existing primary dwelling unit structure). (II) The property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization. H. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for an JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the community development director. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that: Page 864 of 1021 Page 12 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX 1. The JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. 2. The JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section. 3. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners. 4. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code. 5. The deed restriction is enforceable by the director or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit. I. Building & Safety. 1. Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection (I)(2) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements. 2. No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the Building Official makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this section prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section. J. Certificate of Occupancy Timing. 1. Generally. No certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU may be issued before the certificate of occupancy is issued for the primary dwelling unit. 2. Limited Exception for State-declared Emergencies. Notwithstanding subsection (J)(1) above, a certificate of occupancy for an ADU may be issued Page 865 of 1021 Page 13 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX before a certificate of occupancy for the primary dwelling if each of the following requirements are met: a) The county is subject to a proclamation of a state of emergency made by the California Governor on or after February 1, 2025. b) The primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the Governor’s state of emergency proclamation. c) The ADU has been issued construction permits and has passed all required inspections. d) The ADU is not attached to the primary dwelling. 17.21.070 Specific ADU Requirements. The following requirements apply only to Class 2 ADUs approved under subsection 17.21.050(B) above. This section does not apply to Class 1 ADUs or JADUs approved under subsection 17.21.050(A) above. A. Maximum Size. 1. The maximum size of a detached or attached ADU subject to this section is 850 square feet of interior livable space for a studio or one-bedroom unit and 1,000 square feet of interior livable space for a unit with two or more bedrooms. 2. An attached ADU that is created on a lot with an existing primary dwelling is further limited to 50 percent of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling. 3. Application of other development standards in this section 17.21.070, such as FAR, minimum lot size, or lot coverage, might further limit the size of the ADU, but no application of the percent -based size limit in subsection (A)(2) above or of an FAR, front setback, minimum lot size, lot coverage limit, or open-space requirement may require the ADU have less than 800 square feet of interior livable space. B. Floor Area Ratio (FAR). No ADU subject to this section may cause the total FAR of the lot to exceed 50 percent, subject to subsection (A)(3) above. C. Setbacks. 1. ADUs that are subject to this section must conform to 4-foot side and rear setbacks. ADUs that are subject to this section must conform to 25-foot front setbacks, subject to subsection (A)(3) above. 2. No setback is required for an ADU that is subject to this section if the ADU is constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure. Page 866 of 1021 Page 14 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX D. Lot Coverage. No ADU subject to this section may cause the total lot coverage of the lot to exceed whatever applicable standard exists based on the zone in which it is was located subject to subsection (A)(3) above. E. Minimum Open Space. Unless restricted pursuant to other state or local law, the property in which the ADU is located upon shall comply with the open space requirements of the base zone in which it is located subject to subsection (A)(3) above. F. Passageway. No passageway, as defined by section 17.21.030 above, is required for an ADU. G. Parking. 1. Generally. One off-street parking space is required for each ADU or bedroom, whichever is less. The parking space may be provided in setback areas or as tandem parking, as defined by section 17.21.030 above. 2. Exceptions. No parking under subsection (G)(1) is required in the following situations: a) The ADU is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit, as defined in section 17.21.030 above. b) The ADU is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district. c) The ADU is part of the proposed or existing primary residence or an accessory structure. d) When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the ADU. e) When there is an established car share vehicle stop located within one block of the ADU. f) When the permit application to create an ADU is submitted with an application to create a new single-family or new multifamily dwelling on the same lot, provided that the ADU or the lot satisfies any other criteria listed in subsections (G)(2)(c) through (e) above. 3. No Replacement. When a garage, carport, covered parking structure, or uncovered parking space is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or converted to an ADU, those off-street parking spaces are not required to be replaced. Page 867 of 1021 Page 15 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX H. Architectural Requirements. 1. The materials and colors of the exterior walls, roof, and windows and doors must be the same as those of the primary dwelling. 2. The roof slope must match that of the dominant roof slope of the primary dwelling. The dominant roof slope is the slope shared by the largest portion of the roof. 3. The exterior lighting must be limited to down-lights or as otherwise required by the building or fire code. 4. The ADU must have an independent exterior entrance, apart from that of the primary dwelling. 5. The interior horizontal dimensions of an ADU must be at least 10 feet wide in every direction, with a minimum interior wall height of seven feet. 6. No window or door of the ADU may have a direct line of sight to an adjoining residential property. Each window and door must either be located where there is no direct line of sight or screened using fencing, landscaping, or privacy glass to prevent a direct line of sight. 7. All windows and doors in an ADU less than 30 feet from a property line that is not a public right-of-way line must either be (for windows) clerestory with the bottom of the glass at least six feet above the finished floor, or (for windows and for doors) utilize frosted or obscure glass. 8. Architectural requirements defined in this subsection shall not preclude any unit subject to Government Code section 66323. I. Landscape Requirements. Evergreen landscape screening must be planted and maintained between the ADU and adjacent parcels as follows: 1. At least one 15-gallon size plant must be provided for every five linear feet of exterior ADU wall. Alternatively, at least one 24” box size plant must be provided for every ten linear feet of exterior ADU wall. 2. Plant specimens must be at least six feet tall when installed. As an alternative, a solid fence of at least six feet in height may be installed. 3. All landscaping must be drought-tolerant. 4. All landscaping must be from the city’s approved plant list. 5. Landscape requirements defined in this subsection shall not preclude any unit subject to Government Code section 66323. Page 868 of 1021 Page 16 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX J. Historical Protections. An ADU that is on or within 600 feet of real property that is listed in the California Register of Historic Resources must be located so as to not be visible from any public right-of-way. K. Allowed Stories. No ADU subject to this section may have more than one story, except that an ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may have the stories allowed under subsection 17.21.060(B) of this section. 17.21.080 Fees. The following requirements apply to all Class 1 ADUs and JADUs and Class 2 ADUs that are approved under section 17.21.060 above. A. Impact Fees. 1. No impact fee is required for a JADU or for an ADU that has less than 750 square feet of interior livable space. For purposes of this section, “impact fee” means a “fee” under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code § 66000(b)) and a fee under the Quimby Act (Gov. Code § 66477). “Impact fee” here does not include any connection fee or capacity charge for water or sewer service. 2. A JADU or ADU with less than 500 square feet of interior livable space does not increase assessable space by 500 square feet for purposes of Education Code section 17620(a)(1)(C), and is therefore not subject to school fees under Education Code section 17620. 3. Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that has 750 square feet or more of interior livable space must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the floor area of the ADU, divided by the floor area of the primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.) B. Utility Fees. 1. If an ADU or JADU is constructed with a new single-family home, a separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility and payment of the normal connection fee and capacity charge for a new dwelling are required. 2. Except as described in subsection (B)(1), JADUs and converted ADUs on a single-family lot that are created under subsection 17.21.050(A)(1) above are not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the JADU or ADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required. Notwithstanding the rest of this paragraph, a direct utility connection is required for separate conveyance of an ADU when separate conveyance is allowed under this code. Page 869 of 1021 Page 17 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX 3. Except as described in subsection (B)(1), all ADUs that are not covered by subsection (B)(2) require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility for any utility that is provided by the city. All utilities that are not provided by the city are subject to the connection and fee requirements of the utility provider. a) The connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU based on either the floor area or the number of drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system. b) The portion of the fee or charge that is charged by the city may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. 17.21.090 Nonconforming Zoning Code Conditions, Building Code Violations, and Unpermitted Structures. A. Generally. The city will not deny an ADU or JADU application due to a nonconforming zoning condition, building code violation, or unpermitted structure on the lot that does not present a threat to the public health and safety and that is not affected by the construction of the ADU or JADU. B. Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs constructed before 2020. 1. Permit to Legalize. As required by state law, the city may not deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, if denial is based on either of the following grounds: a) The ADU or JADU violates applicable building standards, or b) The ADU or JADU does not comply with state ADU or JADU law or this ADU ordinance, Chapter 17.21. 2. Exceptions: a) Notwithstanding subsection (B)(1) above, the city may deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, if the city makes a finding that correcting a violation is necessary to comply with the standards specified in California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3. b) Subsection (B)(2)(a) above does not apply to a building that is deemed to be substandard in accordance with California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3. 17.21.100 Nonconforming ADUs and Discretionary Approval. Page 870 of 1021 Page 18 of 18 ORD NO. 26-XXXX Any proposed ADU or JADU that would otherwise be allowed under this Chapter but that does not conform to the objective design or development standards set forth in sections 17.21.010 through 17.21.090 of this section may be allowed by the city with a conditional use permit, in accordance with the other provisions of this title.

HCD finds that the Ordinance fails to comply with State ADU Laws in the manner noted below. Pursuant to Government Code section 66326, subdivision (b)(1), the City has up to 30 days to respond to these findings. Accordingly, the City must provide a written response to these findings no later than January 30, 2026 with a plan to either amend the current ordinance or adopt a resolution with findings.1 Responses should be submitted formally on agency letterhead. The Ordinance addresses many statutory requirements; however, HCD finds that the Ordinance does not comply with State ADU Law as follows: 1.Please note, there is recent legislation that amended State ADU Law. Language relevant to these changes should be incorporated into the Ordinance as it is updated. The bills referenced below are relevant to State ADU Law: •Assembly Bill (AB) 130 – Effective June 30, 2025 •AB 462 – Effective October 10, 2025 •AB 1154 – Effective January 1, 2026 •Senate Bill (SB) 9 – Effective January 1, 2026 •SB 543 – Effective January 1, 2026 1 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (b)(2)(B). Page 872 of 1021 Alexis Oropeza, Planning Manager Page 2 2. Section 17.21.030 (A)(1) – Unit Allowances – The Ordinance allows “One ADU as described in this subsection (A) (1) and one JADU (or a second ADU in lieu of the JADU) on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling on it, where the ADU or JADU (or a second ADU in lieu of the JADU)…” Thus, the City limits ADU and JADU development to no more than two units on a lot with a single-family primary dwelling. However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), states, “Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322, inclusive, a local agency shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create any of the following: (1) One accessory dwelling unit and one junior accessory dwelling unit per lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling…(A) The accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit is within the proposed space of a single-family dwelling or existing space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure.” Paragraph (2) permits “[o]ne detached, new construction, accessory dwelling unit that does not exceed four-foot side and rear yard setbacks.” The use of the term “any combination” followed by an enumeration of ADU types permitted under Government Code section 66323 means that any of these ADU types can be combined on a lot zoned for single-family dwellings. This permits a homeowner, who meets specified requirements, to create one converted ADU; one detached, new construction ADU; and one junior accessory dwelling (JADU). Thus, if the local agency approves an ADU that is created from existing (or proposed) space, and the owner subsequently applies for a detached ADU (or vice versa) that meets the size and setbacks pursuant to the subdivision, the local agency cannot deny the application, nor deny a permit for a JADU under this section. Additionally, these allowances reflect only the units and formats described in Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a). Units created subject to Government Code section 66314 must also be reflected in the Ordinance to enable maximum unit allowances. In summary, the City must amend the Ordinance to specifically include units subject to Government Code section 66314 as well as all combinations required by section 66323. 3. Section 17.21.030 (F)(2) – JADU Owner Occupancy – The Ordinance states, “As required by state law, all JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person's legal domicile and permanent residence.” However, Government Code section 66333, subdivision (b) was changed as of January 1, 2026 to require owner occupancy only “…If the junior accessory dwelling unit has shared sanitation facilities with the existing structure.” The City must amend the Ordinance to match current State JADU Law. Page 873 of 1021 Alexis Oropeza, Planning Manager Page 3 4. Section 17.21.030 (G) – Deed Restriction – The Ordinance requires a deed restriction for ADUs. However, a deed restriction cannot be imposed on an ADU. Government Code section 66315 states, “No additional standards, other than those provided in Section 66314, shall be used or imposed, including an owner occupant requirement, except that a local agency may require that the property may be used for rentals of terms 30 days or longer.” Although deed restrictions are required for JADUs, they are prohibited for ADUs2. The City must amend the Ordinance to remove the deed requirement for an ADU. 5. Section 17.21.050 (A)(3) – Size Exceptions – The Ordinance states, “Application of other development standards in this section or any other section, might further limit the size of the ADU, but no application of the percent-based size limit in this section or other section or front setback, lot coverage limit, or open-space requirement may require the ADU to be less than 800 square feet.” This is an incomplete recreation of the exceptions required in Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(3); the City must add floor area ratio and minimum lot size as two other conditions that may not restrict a unit to be below 800 square feet to come into consistency with State ADU Law. 6. Section 17.21.050 (G) – Architectural Requirements – The Ordinance lists several architectural requirements to apply to ADUs; however, such requirements may not preclude any unit subject to Government Code section 66323. The City must note the exception. The City has two options in response to this letter.3 The City can either 1) amend the Ordinance to comply with State ADU Law4 or 2) adopt the Ordinance without changes and include findings in its resolution accompanying the Ordinance that explain the reasons the City believes that the Ordinance complies with State ADU Law despite HCD’s findings.5 If the City fails to take either course of action, or if HCD finds that the newly adopted Ordinance remains out of compliance with State ADU Law despite the City ‘s findings and explanations, HCD must notify the City and may notify the California Office of the Attorney General that the City is in violation of State ADU Law.6 2 Local jurisdictions should eliminate all ADU and JADU deed restrictions unless expressly authorized by statute. Deed restrictions unnecessarily “lock in” current state and local requirements, even as the Legislature continues to update ADU and JADU statutes. 3 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (c)(1). 4 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (b)(2)(A). 5 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (b)(2)(B). 6 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (c)(1).

CEQA: Determine the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. (Community Development Director Alison Becker) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Determine the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines; 2. Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving and authorizing the execution of the Joint Powers Authority Agreement joining the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT); 3. Authorize the Mayor to execute the SBRHT Joint Powers Authority Agreement (JPA) (Attachment 2); and 4. Appoint a City Council member to represent the City on the South Bay Regional Housing Trust Board. Executive Summary: The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) aims to create a South Bay Regional Housing Trust (“Trust”). The purpose of the Trust is to finance the creation of affordable housing and assist unhoused individuals. Establishing the Housing Trust would allow the SBCCOG to more effectively manage and disburse funding, primarily through lending power, in addition to allowing the issuance of housing-related bonds, which are powers that SBCCOG does not possess. The City’s continued participation in the South Bay Housing Trust Fund is contemplated in our certified 6th Cycle Housing Element. Staff recommend the City Council approve participation in the Trust and authorize the Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement. Background: In September 2022, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1444, allowing Los Angeles County and cities within the South Bay Cities Council of Governments’ jurisdiction to form the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT) and enter into a Joint Powers Agreement to fund affordable housing and assist unhoused individuals. Page 892 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5 As part of the Regional Early Action Planning Grants (REAP) 2.0, funded by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) has been working to develop the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT). The purpose of the trust is to fund the development and construction of affordable housing units in cities that are members of the trust and supported by the city in which they are proposed. Although th e SBCCOG is leading the early feasibility work, the SBRHT would be a separate joint powers authority with its own Board of Directors. At least four member cities would have to approve the JPA for the SBRHT to form . The City Council voted on August 8, 2023, in favor of adopting revisions to the City’s Housing Element. Included in these revisions was Program 8, where the City made a commitment to “investigate opportunities to either establish a new housing trust fund or participate in existing trust fund programs in order to expand the availability of financial assistance for affordable housing.” The metric established by the City Council for measuring progress in this program is the City’s contribution to the development of five affordable housing units in the region, with a focus on housing intended for special needs populations. Past Commission and Council Actions Meeting Date Description November 16, 2021 Planning Commission votes in favor of adopting language endorsing Land Value Recapture and Housing Trust participation in the City’s Housing Element. December 21, 2021 City Council adopted a comprehensive amendment to the Housing Element for the 2021–2029 period. August 8, 2023 City Council adopted revisions to the Housing Element for the 2021–2029 Housing Element which includes revisions to Program 8 pertaining to the Housing Trust Fund. February 25, 2025 City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-7475 approving participation in the Urban Permanent Local Housing Allocation Form and designating funding to the Housing Trust if approved. At its February 25, 2025 meeting, City Council approved the City’s participation in the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA) and, in anticipation of the formation of the Trust, designated those grant funds towards the Housing Trust (Attachment 3). The SBCCOG’s consultant, CivicHome, has prepared a SBRHT strategic plan, joint powers agreement, staffing plan, budget, and programs for the SBRHT Board to consider adopting when formed. A strategic plan advisory committee consisting of SBCCOG Board members, city staff, and housing experts/affordable housing developers provided input over a series of four meetings throughout the process. The consultant presented an update on the status of the Trust’s development to the SBCCOG Board in October 2025. Page 893 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5 The same presentation was then given to the South Bay City Managers’ group on November 19, 2025 (Attachment 4 and 5). At its meeting on November 20, 2025, the SBCCOG Board of Directors voted to recommend that member agencies move forward with the formation of the SBRHT. A minimum of four member cities would have to approve the JPA for the SBRHT to form. At the time this report was written, nine cities had already voted to participate: El Segundo, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lomita, Manhattan Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. The following four cities, Carson, Gardena, Palos Verdes Estates, and Rolling Hills, elected not to join the Trust at this time. The decision of two cities, Rolling Hills Estates and Hermosa Beach, is still pending. The first SBRHT meeting is expected to take place on Thursday, April 23, 2026. Discussion: Due to the influx of funds from Los Angeles County Measure A, the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) will be giving the SBCCOG approximately $7.3 million per year in the interest of furthering affordable housing development in the South Bay through the “Production, Preservation, and Ownership” (PPO) program. LACAHSA also has agency matching funds available to it, meaning the potential revenue for affordable housing to SBCCOG could amount to $14 million annually. However, while SBCCOG staff were pursuing avenues to utilize this funding, a function roadblock was discovered. Specifically, SBCCOG is not allowed to originate loans, so all allocations of PPO funds would have to take the form of either grants or subsidies, meaning that those funds would never return for additional use. The SBRHT, in contrast, will possess lending authority, and be capable of granting soft development loans, construction and pre-development loans, preservation and acquisition stakes, and master leasing, in addition to direct service/homebuyer assistance programs. Rather than only giving funds away, the SBRHT will be able to generate additional revenue with these funds, thereby increasing their usefulness to our community. For example, the San Gabriel Valley’s regional housing trust, which was formed several years ago, currently takes in $230,000 annually in interest and loan fee revenue. While administrative costs may be significant, the impact will be offset by additional LACAHSA grants designated to cover such fees. One example is the need for consultants that will arise to evaluate housing developments seeking funding. The first year of SBRHT operations will carry no membership fees. After that period, the SBRHT Board will establish annual fees for administrative costs and future increases will be adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index. Page 894 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5 Policy Considerations: The proposed project has been reviewed for consistency with the City’s General Plan, Plan which includes the certified Housing Element. Approving the creation of a South Bay Regional Housing Trust is consistent with the following programs of the Housing Element: o Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing – As a SCAG-funded project, the Trust must Affirmatively Further Fair Housing in order to receive funds. This aligns with the goals set forth in Program 13 of our Housing Element Policy Plan. o Funding Local Housing Projects – In Table 11-2 of the Housing Element Policy Plan, the City committed to pursuing funding available for affordable housing development. Funds from the SBCCOG relating to housing would not be made available to non-member cities once the Trust is established. o Establishing a Housing Trust Fund – In Program 8 of the Housing Element Policy Plan, the City committed to “continue participation in the South Bay Housing Trust Fund.” Participation in the Housing Trust is consistent with the City's certified Housing Element. The Element includes an established metric for progress made on the implementation of Program 8; the City must contribute to the development of five affordable housing units in the region. Options for Council Consideration: The following actions are available to City Council: (1) Approve staff’s recommended action and direct the Mayor to execute all necessary agreements for Hermosa to join the Trust, or (2) Do not approve the staff’s recommended action and decline f or Hermosa’s participation in the Trust. Legal Review: The City Attorney has reviewed the Trust agreement and did not request modifications. Environmental Determination: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity contemplated by this action may have a significant effect on the environment. Fiscal Impact: There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with approving the creati on of the South Bay Regional Housing Trust Joint Powers Agreement. No fees will be assessed during the initial year of operations. After that, the SBRHT board will establish annual fees for Page 895 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5 administrative expenses and future increases would be tied to the Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles County.

A Regional Housing Trust creates shared capacity, expertise, and funding leverage to benefit cities. Identifies and applies for multiple funding opportunities for the benefit of the region Organizes developments so that projects are not competing with each other Cities acting independently increases cost, duplication, and administrative burden. One set of housing program guidelines, loan documents, legal and staff expertise, and compliance instead of many. Centralized income verification and compliance, tracking system and process. Shared legal, underwriting, and reporting expertise specializing in affordable housing and complex loan negotiations and closings.

Page 972 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 4 Meeting Date: March 10, 2026 Staff Report No. 26-CMO-012 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council ADJUSTMENT OF FEES FOR COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT AREAS. (Environmental Programs Manager Douglas Krauss) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council consider adjusting certain commercial encroachment fees. Executive Summary: At its January 13, 2026 meeting, Council requested staff bring back an item to consider adjusting fees for certain commercial encroachment areas. Background: The City has long supported and encouraged outdoor dining on private and public property to activate place-making strategies and supplement indoor operations. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and related health orders, businesse s were limited to conducting business outdoors. Recognizing this hardship, City Council approved a program to allow expanded outdoor dining and other commercial activity. The City also suspended zoning and parking requirements to allow outdoor dining on pr ivate property and established a temporary encroachment permit program to allow encroachments into sidewalks and public streets. The City further allowed existing permanent encroachments, such as those on Pier Plaza, to temporarily expand their encroachmen t areas. The City has issued over 60 temporary outdoor dining permits in a variety of commercial locations. Though mostly on and around Pier Plaza, encroachments are spread throughout the City’s main commercial areas (Attachment 1). Initially, City Council allowed these uses without consideration of any encroachment area rents or reimbursement of lost parking meter revenue. At its January 25, 2022 meeting, Council discussed implementing new fees for the temporary outdoor dining encroachments and approved a fee of $1.50 per square foot per month. At its November 3, 2022 meeting, Council extended the temporary program with direction to staff to return with an item to consider a permanent version of the temporary outdoor dining program for Council’s consideration, including an updated encroachment fee schedule. Page 973 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4 On June 13, 2023, Council approved Resolution 23-7379 (Attachment 2), which established encroachment fees for the 2023-24 fiscal year through the current 2025-26 fiscal year. Fees for fiscal year 2025 -26 went into effect July 1, 2025 and remain in place. There are no additional rate increases scheduled for the encroachment areas beyond these approved by Council in 2023: Encroachment Area Category Approved Fee per square foot, per month for FY 23-24 Approved Fee per square foot, per month for FY 24-25 Approved Fee per square foot, per month for FY 25-26 Pier Plaza, closes encroachment at 12:30am $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 Pier Plaza, closes encroachment at 11pm $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 Pier Plaza, closes encroachment before 11pm; off-Pier Plaza; on- street; sidewalk; retail $1.00 $2.00 $2.50 Past Council Actions Meeting Date Description October 28, 2025 Councilmember Keegan and Mayor Saemann requested an information item concerning commercial encroachment fees January 13, 2026 Councilmember Keegan, Mayor Saemann, and Councilmember Francois requested an action item to consider adjusting certain encroachment fees Discussion: In 2023, City Council considered various factors to help inform these fees. These included location (with Pier Plaza being most desirable), amount of staff resources needed to administer (enforcement, inspection, maintenance, etc.) and complexity of the encroachment areas (e.g., constructed on-street dining deck versus sidewalk tables and chairs that are movable). Overall, the number of encroachment permittees has remained essentially the same during this time, although a few on-street dining areas (dining decks) have been removed. Staff has not received notable amounts of comments or complaints about the current encroachment fees. The current fees are applied equally to each permittee and is not based on the revenue levels of the various business types us ing these encroachments. On January 13, 2026, Council suggested creating a new category for commercial dining establishments outside of Pier Plaza that do not offer table service nor alcohol use in the encroachment areas. Council suggested the encroachment fee for these businesses be reduced from $2.50 to $2 per square foot. Per the current encroachment fee list, this Page 974 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4 revised fee would apply to Mickey’s Deli and the Green Store as well as a number of other dining establishments off Pier Plaza such as: Brother’s Burritos, Java Man, Proudly Serving, and Tacos El Goloso. These six businesses occupy 1412 square feet of public right of way, cumulatively (Attachment 3). Additionally, Staff is investigating at least two businesses, Gitana and Granny’s Grocery, that are encroaching on public right-of-way but are not included in the encroachment permit process. Staff will work with these businesses to incorporate them into the program as appropriate. Council also briefly discussed how the encroachment fees affe ct retail establishments. Currently there are only six non-food, retail businesses using public encroachments. Four are located on Pier Plaza and two use sidewalk areas on Pier Avenue. Per the abovementioned fee schedule, these businesses also pay encroach ment fees of $2.50 per square foot. Staff has received some community input suggesting a fee of $1 per square foot for retail encroachment permits. These retail businesses are listed in the table below: Business Square Footage Current Quarterly Encroachment Fee Fundamental Coast 15 $112.50 Heavenly Couture 150 $1,125.00 Pier Surf 180 $1,350.00 Spyder 200 $1,500.00 Treasure Chest 156 $1,170.00 Waves 247 $1,852.50 For comparison, the City of Manhattan Beach charges $4 .00 per square foot for all commercial encroachments. The City of Redondo Beach charges $2 .00 for encroachments that serve alcohol and $1.00 for those that do not. Fiscal Impact: The City collects approximately $200,000 per quarter (approximately $800,000 annually) in commercial encroachment fees. A number of fee adjustment options are listed below along with a table illustrating approximate fiscal impacts: Option 1: Approve a new category of encroachment permit for off Pier Plaza businesses conducting retail food sales without table service and without alcohol service with an encroachment fee of $2 per square foot. This includes six businesses at a total of 1412 square feet. Option 2: Approve a new category of encroachment permit for off Pier Plaza businesses conducting retail food sales without table service and without alcohol service with an encroachment fee of $1 per square foot. This includes six businesses at a total of 1412 square feet. Page 975 of 1021 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4 Option 3: Approve a new category of encroachment permit for all businesses conducting retail food sales without table service and without alcohol service with an encroachment fee of $2 per square foot. This includes nine businesses at a total of 2201 square feet. Option 4: Approve a new category of encroachment permit for all businesses conducting retail food sales without table service and without alcohol service with an encroachment fee of $1 per square foot. This includes nine businesses at a total of 2201 square feet. Option 5: Maintain the current category of encroachment: “Pier Plaza, closes encroachment before 11pm; off-Pier Plaza; on-street; sidewalk; retail,” and reduce the encroachment fee for all businesses in this category to $2 per square foot. This includes thirty-five businesses at a total of 12,680 square feet. Option 6: Maintain the current category of encroachment: “Pier Plaza, closes encroachment before 11pm; off-Pier Plaza; on-street; sidewalk; retail,” and reduce the encroachment fee for all businesses in this category to $1 per square foot. This includes thirty-five businesses at a total of 12,680 square feet. Option # Current Annual Fee Revenue at $2.50 / sq. ft.

The tentative future agenda provides a preliminary preview of topics planned for discussion at upcoming City Council meetings over a specified period, typically the next three months. The items listed in this document are "tentatively" scheduled, meaning they are subject to change and should not be considered final until the official agenda for each meeting is posted. This document is a work in progress and offers a glimpse into the City's priorities and planned discussions, allowing stakeholders to anticipate and prepare for potential topics of interest. Key Features of a Tentative Future Agenda Document: 1. Tentative Schedule: Each agenda item is assigned a tentative date, indicating when it is expected to be discussed. These dates are provisional and may be adjusted based on various factors. 2. Work in Progress: The document is continuously updated as new items emerge, priorities shift, or additional information becomes available. This flexibility ensures City Council can address the most pressing issues in a timely manner. 3. Transparency and Communication: By publishing a tentative future agenda, the City aims to maintain transparency with residents, businesses, and other stakeholders. It helps the community stay informed about potential topics of discussion and provides an opportunity for public engagement and preparation. 4. Fluid Scheduling: The scheduling of agenda items is fluid until the official agenda for a specific City Council meeting is posted. Changes can occur due to various reasons, such as new developments, additional preparatory work required, or changes in workload or priority.
