of Santa Ana Section 6: <br />none Plan <br />3) The City's Sewage Spill Procedures outlines the procedures which ensure prompt notification to <br />appropriate regulatory agencies and other potentially affected entities of all SSOs that potentially affect <br />public health or reach the waters of the State in accordance with the Monitoring and Reporting Program <br />(MRP). In addition, agencies to be notified include the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA), <br />and the California State Office of Emergency Services (OES), if necessary. These procedures also identify <br />the officials who will receive immediate notification; <br />4) The City conducts internal training sessions to ensure familiarity with these procedures and prepare <br />staff for an SSO event, from initial notification to SSO report documentation, including any necessary <br />emergency activities, such as traffic control. In addition, City staff attend the OCSD SSO simulation <br />training seminars whenever they are conducted by OCSD; <br />5) City of Santa Ana sewer maintenance staff is trained in the placement of traffic control and can respond <br />to all but the most extreme emergencies. If a spill necessitates extensive traffic and or crowd control, <br />the City's Police Department is contacted. Officers are trained in traffic and crowd control during <br />emergency situations. These procedures are also addressed in the City's Sewage Spill Procedures; and <br />6) The City's Sewage Spill Procedures ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to contain and prevent <br />the discharge of untreated and partially treated wastewater to waters of the United States and to <br />minimize or correct any adverse impact on the environment resulting from the SSOs. <br />The City relies on the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) for monitoring water quality and <br />posting beach closures. All spills are reported immediately to the OCHCA office. <br />The City also has procedures for conducting water quality sampling and preparing an SSO Technical <br />Report for any Category 1 SSO in which 50,000 gallons or greater are spill to surface waters. <br />6.3 Supporting Documents <br />The following documents allow the City to comply with the overflow and emergency response plan <br />requirements of the WDR, and are attached as appendices. <br />• Sewage Spill Procedures, City of Santa Ana, Water Resources Division, Appendix C. <br />April 2020 6-2 <br />19F-27 <br />
