Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit an application for funding
consideration under the Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program to the Orange County
Transportation Authority.
DISCUSSION
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has issued a call for projects under the
Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program (ECP). The ECP funding allocations are for FY
12/13 through FY 14/15 and fall under the Tier 2 Grant Program. The program provides up to
$5 million per project phase, including engineering and construction.
A total of $13.3 million is available under this first call for projects. Priority is given to projects which
help protect Orange County beaches and waterways from transportation-generated pollution (urban
runoff) and improve overall water quality. On September 4, 2012, an application was submitted to
OCTA for the Santa Ana Delhi Channel Diversion Project, requesting $4,288,125 in grant funding,
and included a draft resolution to meet the application cutoff date.
The Santa Ana Delhi Channel Diversion Project is intended to capture and divert urban discharge
low-flow into the sanitary sewer system to address urban surface water quality in accordance with
the Orange County MS4 permit. The treatment device will capture sediment, trash, and debris prior
to discharging the flows into an underground storage vault, where it will eventually be pumped into
the OCSD sanitary sewer line or harvested for irrigation use at the Newport Beach Golf Course.
The proposed project is a joint venture between the cities of Santa Ana, Newport Beach, and Costa
Mesa. The cities are also developing a cost-sharing agreement for this project. The City of Santa
Ana will utilize the Federal Clean Water Protection Enterprise for its portion of the required matching
funds.
Due to the environmental regulations requiring improvement to the overall water quality of the
nation's waterways from urban-generated pollution, staff recommends that City Council adopt a
