(c) Develop a rehabilitation and replacement plan to identify and prioritize system deficiencies and implement short-term and long-term rehabilitation actions to address each deficiency. The program should include regular visual and TV inspections of manholes and sewer pipes, and a system for ranking the condition of sewer pipes and scheduling rehabilitation. Rehabilitation and replacement should focus on sewer pipes that are at risk of collapse or prone to more frequent blockages due to pipe defects. Finally, the rehabilitation and replacement plan should include a capital improvement plan that addresses proper management and protection of the infrastructure assets. The plan shall include a time schedule for implementing the short- and long-term plans plus a schedule for developing the funds needed for the capital improvement plan; The City of Santa Ana has prepared a Sewer System Infrastructure Maintenance System (SSIMS) as required by the previous Region 8 WDR (Order No. R8-2002-0014). This system is currently being revised and a new system will be included in the Operation and Maintenance Program task element due on November 2, 2008. (d) Provide training on a regular basis for staff in sanitary sewer system operations and maintenance, and require contractors to be appropriately trained; and The City of Santa Ana has purchased two vacuum trucks so that City workers can respond directly to spills without calling a contractor. This has helped expedite the response to spills and insure that spills are contained and cleaned up in the shortest time possible. City sewer maintenance staff are trained in-house to properly clean and maintain the sewer collection system, as well as respond to spill emergencies. Water production staff are trained to operate and maintain all city pumping facilities and related equipment, including the two sewer lift stations. 10 75A-12
