DISCIISSION The California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) adopted Order No. 2006-0003 on May 2, 2006. The order requires proper operation and maintenance of the City's sewer collection system and regulates sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) from the system. Waste discharge requirements are established that are intended to protect the beneficial uses of surface waters and beaches in Orange County. Order No. 2006-0003 requires the City to prepare and implement a comprehensive Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). The main goal of this plan is to prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's) and to provide a plan and schedule for measures to be implemented to prevent future SSO's. The City prepared a SSMP in September, 2005. This document contains most of the provisions required under Order No. 2006-0003. City staff will be providing updates and revisions to the SSMP as required in Order No. 2006-003. While the City's current SSMP meets the major goals of Order No. 2006- 0003, the Order requires Council adoption of a Development Plan and Schedule to revise the SSMP. The proposed Sewer System Management Plan Development Plan and Schedule will meet this requirement. All of the SSMP revisions required in Order No. 2006-0003 must be completed by May 2, 2009. Once the SSMP revisions are complete, another public hearing will be held for Council adoption of the final SSMP. 75A-1
