The facility will be located in the downstream portion <br />of the Santa Ana Delhi Channel near the intersection of Mesa Drive and Irvine Avenue adjacent to <br />the Newport Beach Golf Course (Exhibit 1). The proposed project would remove all pollutant loads <br />transported by non- stormwater discharges in the Delhi and Santa Ana Gardens channels. The <br />diversion would remove solids and trash, and then divert the flow to the sanitary sewer system for <br />further treatment. As an alternative, the flow may be diverted to the adjacent golf course reservoir <br />for irrigation or redirected into the channel. <br />The design, construction, and maintenance costs for the diversion project are estimated at $7.4 <br />million. The financial responsibility will be shared among the regional stakeholders as follows; <br />$2.57 million in OCTA grant funds; $1.73 million from the City of Santa Ana; $1.6 million from the <br />County of Orange; and $1.5 million from the City of Newport Beach. <br />25F -1 <br />
