Proposal I ?i,,:;;. Commercial/Industrial Inspection and Database Management Consultant Services 6.3.3 Statewide Trash Provisions Wood can continue to provide cost-effective solutions and assist the City with understanding the compliance pathways for the trash provisions. Wood's staff has led many of Orange County's subcommittee meetings, Ad Hoc Meetings, and Technical Advisory Committee meetings. We have presented at several workshops. We understand the potential resource challenges that the Trash Provisions are creating for City resources and can offer our services to the City to identify and realize potential cost-effective pathways to compliance. Our extensive experience working in the City means we are familiar with the landscape and understand the existing trash controls and how to translate these existing resources into a cost-effective compliance pathway. 6.3.4 TMDL Compliance Wood is routinely involved with several stakeholder -led groups to further the science of TMDL development in southern California receiving waters. We have worked on TMDLs for a variety of pollutants including metals, bacteria, nutrients, salts, sediment, dissolved oxygen, pesticides, and pathogens. Our experience encompasses numerous aspects of TMDL implementation including watershed planning, special studies, and coordination with stakeholders involved in third -party TMDL development. We have experience with a variety of TMDL approaches including development of water effect ratios (WER) and load modeling for metals TMDL; source assessment studies, and land use runoff monitoring projects to support long-term modeling of pollutant loading. Under the last contract period, Wood developed recommendations on strategies for the City to implement for the Newport Bay TMDL program. With the work performed and expertise on the TMDL compliance issues, Wood provides extensive resources available to the City to meet the City's long-term goals of having more control over the programmatic direction of the TMDL programs. 6.3.5 Water Quality Complaints We understand that this project may also involve responding to and investigating water quality complaints and reports related to the City's ID/IC program. Our project team has performed thousands of water quality investigations for the cities of Anaheim, Costa Mesa, and Santa Ana. We have worked closely with various city departments during many of these investigations. We understand the importance of having personnel readily available to respond to water quality complaints within one hour or less and have set up a redundant system with multiple authorized inspectors to provide the City support when needed. Each of our inspection staff members is equipped with cell phones to allow for prompt responses to emails and telephone calls from the City. We anticipate that our authorized inspectors will have open lines of communication with the City during the investigations. Following each ID/IC investigation, we will provide a detailed email summary with photographs and recommendations to the City within one business day of the incident. a 0 • wood.
