Section 1City of Huntington BeachCitywide Urban Runoff Management PlanDrainage Area Management PlanSection 1Executive Summary1.1BackgroundThe City of Huntington Beach (City) is approximately 28.2 square miles of land and islocated adjacent to the Pacific Ocean within a heavily urbanized region of OrangeCounty, California. Bordering cities include Seal Beach, Westminster, Fountain Valley,Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and a portion of unincorporated Orange County. Froma water quality planning context, the northern portion of the county and the entireCity reside within what is broadly referred to as the Lower Santa Ana River Basinunder the Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) adopted by the California RegionalWater Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region (SARWQCB). The drainage areawithin the Lower Santa Ana River Basin and Orange County contains approximately2.9 million residents, occupying an area of approximately 789 square miles (includingunincorporated areas and the limits of 34 cities, 26 of which are within theSARWQCB’s jurisdiction). Section 2 of the Basin Plan presents a brief backgroundsummary of urban runoff characteristics, the existing drainage system and watershedsetting.Storm water discharges from the urbanized areas in Orange County consist mainly ofsurface runoff from residential, commercial, and industrial developments. In addition,there are storm water discharges from agricultural land uses, including farming andanimal operations. Discharges from various areas within the City drain directly orindirectly into urban streams, lakes, bays, wetlands, estuaries, Huntington Harbour,and the Pacific Ocean. The City owns, operates, and maintains a storm drainagesystem for the purpose of conveying storm runoff so as to reduce or eliminateflooding under peak storm flow conditions. The storm drainage system begins withthe streets and roads, and includes inlets, storm drains, open channels, pump stations,detention basins, and other appurtenances. The system carries both dry and wetweather urban runoff and the pollutants associated with runoff from urban land useand activities.Several major channels owned and maintained by Orange County are also locatedwithin the City. These channels receive runoff from areas within the City as well assubstantial drainage areas in other upstream jurisdictions. It is estimated that runofffrom the City makes up about 35-40 percent of the total dry and wet weather flows inthe channels.1-1

Section 1City of Huntington BeachCitywide Urban Runoff Management PlanAs urban runoff (both dry and wet weather) discharges into the urban waterways,lakes, bays, Huntington Harbour, and the Pacific Ocean, it can be a source ofpollution. Extensive studies have indicated that sources such as possible exfiltrationfrom sewers are not a contributor to high bacterial counts in coastal waters.Additional studies conducted by the City and others are continuing to identifysources and work toward the specific objective of minimizing posting and closure ofcoastal waters.Over the past few years, the general public, the City Council, and staff have becomeincreasingly aware of environmental concerns and the importance of water qualityand the potential impacts from urban runoff within the City. Because clean water isessential to support human and aquatic life, and recreation and tourism are majorelements of the fabric and economy of the City, impairments to the local coastalwaters have a major detrimental impact on the City. At the same time, regulatoryrequirements are increasingly focusing on non-point source pollution impacts from awide variety of pollutants, particularly in urban runoff from developed areasdischarged from municipal storm drainage systems and industrial and constructionsites.The Citywide Urban Runoff Management Plan (CURMP) provides a broadframework for managing the quantity and quality of all urban runoff 1 that reachesreceiving waters from the land surfaces and through the storm drain system withinthe City. The Water Quality Element of the CURMP focuses primarily on managingrunoff quality, while the Drainage Element addresses flood hazards andinconveniences. The CURMP identifies potential common solutions that can addressboth water quality and quantity concerns.This update provides a detailed discussion of runoff quantity and quality for theWater Quality Element (Section 3) designed to meet or exceed the followingrequirements of the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES)Permit for the Water Quality Element of the CURMP: Regulatory environmental updates. Revisions to citywide source control programs.1The term urban runoff as used in this Plan is defined as all flows in the storm drain system under bothdry and wet weather conditions. In this context, the drainage system includes yard drains, swales,streets, curbs and gutters, storm drain inlets, catch basins, underground pipes, pump stations, openchannels, lakes, detention basins, storm drain outfalls, and other designated water quality features suchas vegetated swales, ravines, vegetated filter areas and wetlands.1-2

Section 1City of Huntington BeachCitywide Urban Runoff Management Plan Revisions for major projects, and applicable NPDES requirements for thosedevelopments. Revisions to phasing/program implementation/monitoring of programelements as necessary. Revisions to funding opportunities.No updates to the CURMP beyond Section 3 and associated cost estimates for waterquality projects have been completed at this time.A summary of the hydrologic modeling and a detailed description of the drainagesystem capacity analysis and system improvement plan are found in the DrainageElement in Section 4.1.2Plan Development and ObjectivesRecognizing the importance of managing both the quantity and quality of runoffconveyed by the storm drain system, the City adopted an integrated CURMP in 2005.The CURMP contains the Water Quality Element and Drainage Element to takeadvantage of information developed under both efforts and identifies integratedsolutions that address both water quality and flood hazard protection goals. Figure 11 illustrates how the CURMP includes both the Water Quality Element and DrainageElement. Section 1.3 provides a summary of the Water Quality Element, while Section1.4 summarizes the Drainage Element.1-3

Section 1City of Huntington BeachCitywide Urban Runoff Management PlanFigure 1-1Citywide Urban Runoff Management PlanThe 2005 CURMP was developed through the cooperative efforts of City Staff, led bythe Public Works Department, a consultant team, and a Focus Group that consisted ofrepresentatives from the City Council, City Staff, community and business leaders,and environmental interest groups. The Focus Group members included:City CouncilRalph Bauer (former)Debbie Cook (former)Shirley Dettloff (former)Cathy Green (former)Dave Sullivan (former)1-4
