DISCUSSION The City of Santa Ana prepared and approved a Storm Drain Master Plan (SDMP) update in December 2018. The purpose was to evaluate the adequacy of the existing storm drain system, identify drainage deficiencies throughout the city, and recommend plans for solving drainage and flooding problems. The SDMP update provides comprehensive long-range planning for the implementation and development of drainage facility improvements, determines capital improvement costs, identifies grant opportunity programs, and discusses priorities for drainage improvements. The Warner Phase 1 — Main to Oak storm drain project (Exhibit 1) has been identified as a priority project in the Delhi Channel watershed. Upgrading the storm drain facilities in this area will reduce major flooding that could affect critical infrastructure such as fire department structures, hospitals, schools or business districts. The storm drain project is being conducted in coordination with the Warner widening project to be more cost effective and reduce flooding for this corridor. The Federal Clean Water Protection Enterprise budget has unspent funds in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019- 20, which must be allocated to a specific project in the FY 2019-20 CIP by June 30, 2020 to be available for expenditure and included in the carryforward for FY 2020-21. This funding source shall be used only for storm drain systems operation, and maintenance and pollution reduction under the current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the Santa Ana Region of Water Quality Control Board in May 2009.
