Pollutants are regulated by the State Water Quality Control Board using TMDLs to <br />measure metals, bacteria, toxics, trash, and nutrients. The facility will be located in the <br />downstream portion of the Santa Ana Delhi Channel near the intersection of Mesa Drive and <br />Irvine Avenue adjacent to the Newport Beach Golf Course (Exhibit 1). The proposed project <br />would remove all pollutant loads transported by non-stormwater discharges in the Delhi and <br />Santa Ana Gardens channels. The diversion would remove solids and trash, and then it will divert <br />the flow to the sanitary sewer system for further treatment. As an alternative, the flow may be <br />diverted to the adjacent golf course reservoir for irrigation or redirected into the channel. The <br />project is under construction. <br />On December 16, 2014, the City entered into a two-year agreement with URS Corporation, to <br />provide design, environmental work, permitting, and construction support for an amount not to <br />exceed $471,679. URS Corporation was subsequently acquired by AECOM Technology <br />Corporation. The original agreement was extended for an additional two-year period, through <br />December 16, 2018, by letter extension as permitted by the terms of the agreement. However, <br />the total compensation amount remained unchanged and is nearly expended. <br />25G-1 <br />
