Volunteers were provided an hour-long instruction lesson from an SSP Construction Coordinator each day on safety and proper techniques. Preparation included cleaning the Fire Station 34 and removing all of the dirt, grime, and old, loose paint from the building's facade and repairing and sealing any cracks, holes, or gaps. SSP Volunteers provided reusable painting supplies. The Fire Department had previously budgeted for Fire Station 34 to be painted. Project Lead: Brian Krepps, Fire Dept. EMERGENCY SHELTER PREPARATION @ MLK JR. COMMUNITY CENTER Six (6) SSP volunteers spent six hours at the MLK Jr. Community Center working alongside City staff to prepare for the next emergency. (Part I) Volunteers transferred recreation supplies held at the Center to the new centralized location, allowing for additional space for emergency supplies. (Part II) Volunteers cleaned the emergency shelter staging area, counted emergency supplies, and prepared emergency kits. Project Leads: Walter Amedee, Fire Dept., Joanne McGhee, Community Services, and Chris Garcia, Engineering & Public Works RECREATION SUPPLY CENTRALIZATION "NEW CENTRALIZED RECREATION SUPPLY CENTER" for Community Services was created in the basement of the City-owned facility located at 200 E 12 Street. (Also reference companion item: Project Refresh @ ARTS Center Basement.) SSP volunteers, over the course of four (4) days, transported truckloads of items from MLK Community Center, Casa de Salud Recreation Center, and Camacho Recreation Center to the basement of the ARTS Center. Volunteers also built industrial shelving to organize the recreation supplies and holiday decorations. The creation of the Centralized Recreation Supply Center fulfills: 1. Community Service's need for additional storage space; 2. Allows the City’s Emergency Shelter additional space at the MLK Center, 3. Allows more staff time to be spent on programming rather than transporting supplies from multiple centers to the City's primary event location, Kimball Park, and 4. Centralizing supplies will enable greater operational efficiency, accountability, and security, and will streamline resource management through a documented check-out process. The draft Centralized Recreation Supply Center Plan also includes a future rental equipment program that could be developed to subsidize Community Service programming, benefiting the National City community, and alleviating the General Fund. Project Leads: Joanne McGhee, Community Services, and Angelita Palma, Housing Authority PROJECT REFRESH @ ARTS CENTER BASEMENT In the basement of the City-owned facility at 200 E 12 Street, commonly known as the ARTS Center (also reference companion item: Recreation Supply Centralization Project), SSP volunteers relocated and organized existing supplies and equipment into a single room, thoroughly cleaned the facility, making it available for the storage of Community Service recreation supplies and City holiday decorations. Before this action, a draft Centralized Recreation Supply Center Plan was in place, City departments had been consulted with, and approval had been obtained from the Interim City Manager via the City's Standard Agreement for services.

Page 11 of 821 AGENDA REPORT Department: Community Development Prepared by: Martin Reeder, AICP – Acting Director of Community Development Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 Approved by: Scott W. Huth, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Technical Assistance Panel Report for the Green Corridors Project RECOMMENDATION: File the Report BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: Not Applicable EXPLANATION: The San Diego State University (SDSU) Brownfields Project partnered with the San Diego-Tijuana Chapter of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) to conduct a Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) for the National City Green Corridor Project. In 2023, ULI San Diego-Tijuana created another TAP report to reimagine four other National City sites that were identified within the SDSU Brownfields Project work. That report and this one were funded through a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control for the SDSU Brownfields Project. For this second TAP report, ULI studied two sites that make up the Green Corridor Project*: Joe’s Pocket Farm, an unused parcel of land owned by National City that Mundo Gardens had transformed into a community garden. The city subsequently closed down the garden due to soil contamination concerns. Mat Mata’yuum (indigenous Kumeyaay word for ‘bringing people together’), a parcel of land under Interstate 805 at the northeast corner of Palm Avenue and Division Street that is vacant, except for a temporary construction staging site operated by Caltrans. This TAP is aimed at identifying placemaking, mobility, and development strategies that have been implemented in comparable areas of study that will help advance the overall vision for the Green Corridor project. ULI TAP panelists, composed of planning, architecture, community, and economic development experts, convened for two days (March 20-21, 2025) to meet with project stakeholders and develop a set of best practices relevant to ongoing community efforts associated with the Green Corridor Project. TAP members considered the following principles in their analysis and recommendations: Page 12 of 821 Promoting sustainable growth and mitigating the impacts of gentrification and displacement. Addressing the influence of climate change and its environmental events. Prioritizing broader community opportunities that could increase the impact of the Green Corridor Project. Recommendations from this TAP aim to support longstanding and ongoing community-based efforts at the project site in concert with other local efforts.

In 2020, the population was 56,173. National City encompasses a total of 9.2 square miles. It is San Diego’s second-oldest city and was incorporated in 1887. To the west of the city is San Diego Bay. To the north and northeast is San Diego. National City shares its southeast border with Bonita, and the City of Chula Vista lies to the south, across the Sweetwater River. The city is served by the San Diego trolley’s blue line, with stations at 8th Street and 24th Street. The diverse city includes those of Hispanic or Latino, Asian, Native American, White, African American, and other heritage. This 140-year-old city on San Diego Bay embodies a proud and rich tradition of commerce, urban agriculture, production, and transportation. National City is emerging regionally as a vibrant urban, cosmopolitan experience for residents and businesses. The expansion of Southwestern College, Brick Row and Kimball Park, as well the new library, expansion, The National City Aquatic Center, and many new development projects underway, or on the boards, are a clear sign that National City has entered a “new era.” Special thanks to our client representatives for this project: Jessica Barlow, PhD Professor of Sustainability, Executive Director of Center for Regional Sustainability SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY Madison Swayne, PhD Assistant Professor of City Planning, Associate Director of Center for Regional Sustainability SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY Carlos Aguirre Housing & Community Development Director CITY OF NATIONAL CITY Page 19 of 821 GREEN CORRIDOR PROJECT | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT | 7 INTRODUCTION CONTEXT PANEL FINDINGS The San Diego State University (SDSU) Brownfields Project is partnering with the San Diego-Tijuana Chapter of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) to conduct a Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) for the National City Green Corridor Project. In 2023, ULI San Diego-Tijuana created another TAP report to reimagine four other National City sites that were identified within the SDSU Brownfields Project work. That report and this one were funded through a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control for the SDSU Brownfields Project. For this second TAP report, ULI studied two sites that make up the Green Corridor Project*: Joe’s Pocket Farm, an unused parcel of land owned by National City that Mundo Gardens had transformed into a community garden. The city subsequently closed down the garden due to soil contamination concerns. Mat Mata’yuum (indigenous Kumeyaay word for ‘bringing people together’), a parcel of land under Interstate 805 at the northeast corner of Palm Avenue and Division Street that is vacant, except for a temporary construction staging site operated by CalTrans. This TAP is aimed at identifying placemaking, mobility, and development strategies that have been implemented in comparable areas of study that will help advance the overall vision for the Green Corridor project. ULI TAP panelists, composed of planning, architecture, community, and economic development experts, convened for two days (March 20-21, 2025) to meet with project stakeholders and develop a set of best practices relevant to ongoing community efforts associated with the Green Corridor Project. TAP members considered the following principles in their analysis and recommendations: Promoting sustainable growth and mitigating the impacts of gentrification and displacement. Addressing the influence of climate change and its environmental events. Prioritizing broader community opportunities that could increase the impact of the Green Corridor Project. Recommendations from this TAP aim to support longstanding and ongoing community-based efforts at the project site in concert with other local efforts. *Green Corridor Project is the name assigned by community stakeholder Mundo Gardens. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Parcel of land under Interstate 805 at the northeast corner of Palm Avenue and Division Street. The Assignment Page 20 of 821 GREEN CORRIDOR PROJECT | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT | 8 INTRODUCTION CONTEXT PANEL FINDINGS CONTEXT A mural adorns the fencing of a temporary CalTrans vehicle storage space. have long separated National City and limited mobility, access, and economic opportunity. This community was systematically carved up by Interstate 5 (I-5), Interstate 805 (I-805), Interstate 15 (I-15), and State Route 54 (SR-54). In the 1970’s and 1980’s the community organized to reject the development of State Route 252 (SR-252), which was proposed to run between I-805 and I-15. Two hundred and eighty homes were already seized and demolished to make way for the highway by the time the community was successful in its efforts to shut down the SR 252 project. The Green Corridor is already utilizing culturally inclusive art, identity strategies, and hosting informal community events, including: Murals & Public Art: Commissioning murals that reflect the diverse cultural identities that align with the Chicano Park concept while incorporating a broader cultural narrative. Indigenous Partnerships: Engaging with Indigenous leaders to honor their connection to the land. Partnerships with Schools & Community Groups: Engaging with the Fleet Science Center to integrate STEM educational activities. Gatherings & Events: Events including music, dancing, and food, working with an array of community leaders and organizations. Why This TAP? This study is part of a greater effort to address the historical harm caused by transportation barriers that A ramp that would have been the eastern end of SR 252.

The ramps, which extend west from I-805 at this site, are operational today as ramps to and from I-805. However, they are vestigial pieces of what was meant to be SR-252. The ULI TAP participants identified strategies for creating a green corridor (using this site and the Joe’s Pocket Farm site around the corner on the east side of I-805) that connects community members by restoring opportunities that were discouraged or lost because of divisive transportation infrastructure, redlining, and other historical harms. Map source: SANDAG Page 22 of 821 GREEN CORRIDOR PROJECT | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT | 10 INTRODUCTION CONTEXT PANEL FINDINGS Corridor Timeline California Highway Commission (CHC) adopted 1.8-mile freeway alignment for State Route 252, connecting I-805 and SR-15 through San Diego’s Southcrest neighborhood to the north end of National City. National City entered into agreement with state for construction. San Diego City Council unanimously approved support. 208 homes seized and demolished, 66 acres cleared in preparation for SR-252 construction. Black Federation founded, SR-252 opposition a priority campaign. San Diego City Council voted 6-3 to continue support of SR-252; Caltrans constructed 805/252 connectors at 43rd Street (now Exit 11A: 805/43rd St. off and on ramps. Operation Samahan and Southeast San Diego community leaders advocated for land use: Southcrest area redevelopment project infills vacant 66 acres. CA SR-252 legislatively deleted from State Highway System. CA Senate Bill 160 (Ducheny 1999) authorized Caltrans to low-cost lease the parcel under I-805/43rd connector at Palm Ave. and Division St. to City of National City for community benefit. National City Resident Leadership Academy identified 805/Palm/Division parcel as priority, presented to National City Council. Southeastern San Diego Community Plan published, including conceptual land use and zoning like Alpha St. realignment, medium density, population-based park space, and I-805 ramp redesign. Mundo Gardens contacted Caltrans regarding Palm/ Division site under I-805/43rd for potential park space, worked with Circulate San Diego for community charettes of park space. Mundo Gardens’ partnership includes UCSD Growth Initiative, SDSU/EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant Program; campaign for park named “Mat Mata’yuum.” Coalition formed around I-805 corridor with National City, Mundo Gardens, Urban Collaborative Project CDC, SANDAG, City of San Diego, and Groundworks San Diego. Caltrans selected the “Reconnecting Southeast San Diego/National City” Coalition as one of three statewide awards for the “Reconnecting Communities H2B Pilot Grant Program.” 1970s 2010s 1960s 1990s 2020s Page 23 of 821 GREEN CORRIDOR PROJECT | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT | 11 INTRODUCTION CONTEXT PANEL FINDINGS Major Conclusions The two sites studied, Joe’s Pocket Farm (and the nearby pedestrian trail) and the vacant parcel of land under I-805 at the northeast corner of Palm Avenue and Division Street, present excellent opportunities to reconnect historic divisions created in the neighborhood by transportation infrastructure. Enthusiasm from the community provides a strong case for restoring the community garden in some form at Joe’s Pocket Farm after soil remediation is performed and risk of other possible air particulate contamination is established. The ULI TAP panelists also brainstormed interim uses, including using raised beds with barrier material and new soil, offering a seedling nursery, and conducting gardening workshops. The nearby pedestrian path can be formalized and made safer to provide connections between the two sites studied and into the surrounding neighborhoods. Lighting that won’t disturb nearby neighbors and community- sourced art to mark and beautify the path would greatly improve the pedestrian experience. The undeveloped parcel under the freeway ramps is an ideal place for a community park. Ambient noise from the freeway could provide an opportunity for loud park uses, including ball courts, skate parks, and more. Developing a full park will be recommended, although many park activities can be organized on an interim basis. Within the first five years, landscaping, lighting, murals and other public art, simple site improvements, and adjacent traffic calming measures could be implemented. Pop-up markets and cultural events are also recommended. Funding is available for these projects through the grant programs mentioned above, but some additional funding should come from the city. Other funding sources may include state and/or federal grants, public-private partnerships, nonprofit partnerships (to pursue grants), and corporate sponsors. National City has a commendable history of community activism, and careful attention should be paid throughout this revitalization process to respect and recognize the history of the land, of National City, and of its residents. Artists and other makers should be paid for their contributions and community outreach should remain a strong priority.

Food farming may be an option after soil remediation, though ongoing particulate matter spread from the overhead freeway should be considered. Fruit with a peel may be safer to plant and eat. Site operator could also use protective tree species to catch the pollutants, including moringa and eucalyptus trees. The further the fruit trees are planted from the freeway, the better. Consider testing nearby fruit trees in neighboring home gardens for contaminant levels to inform the strategy. Soil remediation and grading can happen simultaneously. The site can be activated more immediately by incorporating other uses (detailed in the matrix below). Note, however, that the soil contamination is a concern for any return to using the property, even without food production. Additional study to determine the level of freeway pollutants is also recommended. Creative idea: Flower garden Plant flowers at Joe’s Pocket Farm and sell them wholesale to the nearby mobile flower vendor. Create an Instagram-able floral photo space at the garden – also great for engagement and quinceañera photos! Page 29 of 821 GREEN CORRIDOR PROJECT | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT | 17 INTRODUCTION CONTEXT PANEL FINDINGS Path alongside Joe’s Pocket Farm The pedestrian path that runs up to and beyond the garden should also be improved to address blight, safety, and flooding concerns. The path needs to be graded. Low-intensity, ground-level lighting should be installed. Border fences and walls should be activated/ beautified with public art (with owners’ permission where appropriate). Trash should be cleared (after adequate notice for it to be claimed and moved). Many of the panel’s recommendations for Mat Mata’yuum are applicable strategies for this pedestrian path, too. Page 30 of 821 GREEN CORRIDOR PROJECT | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT | 18 INTRODUCTION CONTEXT PANEL FINDINGS Educational Green Spaces: Develop an interactive community garden with raised beds (to address soil contamination concerns) and incorporate signage with information on urban gardening, environmental justice, and local ecology. Incubator for at-home gardening: Work with a partner organization to run a seedling nursery, gardening workshops, and composting workshops/pick-up for residents' at- home gardening. Sustainable Landscaping: Implement native and drought-resistant plants, urban forests, and flowering plants to beautify the area while addressing flooding and air quality concerns. Soil Remediation: Identify funding to remediate soil and grade the land to allow for proper drainage and meet environmental safety requirements. County Voluntary Assistance Program: Finalize County Department of Environmental Health cleanup case and obtain no further action letter. Management, Programming, Maintenance: Partner with an organization to manage, program, and maintain the site. (Competitive process may be employed). Community Healing and Climate Resilience: Start with short-term installations (e.g., pop-up gardens, art pieces) leading to long-term infrastructure (e.g., permanent green spaces, educational hubs). Grant Research: Research applicable grants (e.g. EPA Brownfields grants, State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control, CDBG for remediation). P3s: Identify opportunities for public- private (non-profit/community organizations) partnerships. Non-Profits: Partner with non-profits to apply for grants. Funding Study: Conduct a study to identify potential funding opportunities within the city budget to improve the site.

Landscaping will require water. While this utility is not available on site currently, the hillsides beneath the freeway (owned by CalTrans) are irrigated. The community spaces within the park should be programmed based upon community outreach to establish preferences. Examples in the matrix below focus on commonly popular amenities that produce a lot of noise and therefore may be appropriate for a site already experiencing noise. Improving Walkability & Accessibility: Introduce shaded pathways, clear signage, and ADA-compliant features to ensure equitable access. Sustainable Landscaping: Implement native and drought-resistant plants, urban forests, and flowering plants to beautify the area while addressing flooding and air quality concerns. Community Spaces: Provide a space for community and recreation (e.g., skate parks, ball courts, outdoor workout equipment, amphitheater, restrooms, flower fields/native garden, picnic or party pavilions). Traffic Studies and Road Improvements: Conduct traffic study to determine appropriate road infrastructure improvements and traffic calming measures (e.g., road diet, bulb-outs, on-street parking, etc.). Bike Facilities and Connectivity: Upgrade existing bike facilities and explore connection from Mat Mata’yuum to Joe's Pocket Farm. Grant Funding Utilization: Utilize grant funding to implement placemaking and mobility/ infrastructure goals. Corporate Sponsorships: Identify opportunities for corporate sponsorships for existing elements (e.g., benches, pathways, events). Reliable corporate sponsors/partners include sports organizations (e.g., U.S. Soccer Foundation), and familiar businesses (e.g., Northgate Market). City Funding: Based on the funding opportunities study, designate specific City funding to the site.

The panel recommends creating a board to manage the site and to coordinate with the City for ongoing maintenance. For the 43rd Street ramps, the panel workshopped two scenarios: A: Close and repurpose the ramps. B: Close and demolish the ramps, thereby freeing up land that could be used. If option A: Use the ramps to strengthen connections to different neighborhoods and take advantage of dramatic views. Let nature reclaim the ramps with plantings/cutouts/etc. If option B: Since development opportunities will open up, consider creating a community land trust to ensure the space remains the domain of the community and to discourage gentrification that could displace current residents. According to Investopedia, a community land trust is a nonprofit organization that: • Owns land on behalf of a community. • Promotes housing affordability and sustainable development. • Mitigates historical inequities in homeownership and wealth building. • Provides affordable homes, community gardens, civic buildings, and other community assets.

All appointments and interviews before the City Council will be scheduled as needed to fill unexpected vacancies, with every effort to be made before an individual's term expires. Interviews may take place at one meeting, with appointments made at a subsequent meeting. 9. Vacancies for City Council Appointed Positions. If the vacancy is for a City Council appointed position, and there is more than one (1) applicant for a given position, the voting process will proceed as follows: Once the interviews are complete, each Councilmember votes for their choice via a written ballot provided by the City Clerk. Each Councilmember shall print and sign their name on the ballot. All ballots shall be considered a public record and be open to inspection by the public. The ballots are passed to the City Clerk who announces the number of votes for each candidate. If the appointment process is conducted via a virtual meeting the process is the same except the ballot/vote process. The City Clerk’s Office will provide a Vote Sheet (a piece of paper electronically) with the name of each applicant to be considered. Councilmembers will mark their paper, fold it and hand to the City Clerk as they are collected. If a member is virtual, they will announce their vote verbally first before any other votes are read into the record. The City Clerk will tally the votes and will then confirm the votes with a verbal roll call. The applicant with the most votes is appointed. In the event of a tie, each Councilmember votes again until one (1) candidate has the majority vote and is declared to be the newly–appointed member of the Board, Commission, or Committee. 10. Re-appointment beyond two terms. Anyone wishing to be re-appointed to any Board, Commission, or Committee and has served two or more full terms already must be approved by a four-fifths vote of the City Council.

Report to Council: All applications received for vacancies, whether Mayoral Appointment or City Council Appointment, will be attached to the staff report to Council. All applications will have private personal information redacted (name, street numbers and name of street address, and phone number). This redacted information is in alignment with Government Code Section 6255(a) because the public interest served by not disclosing the applicant’s personal, private information and protection of the Page 72 of 821 CITY COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDED: October 15, 2024 ADOPTED: June 17, 1986 POLICY # 107 TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees applicant’s right to privacy outweighs the public interest served by disclosing that information. 12. An automatic vacancy upon becoming a Non-Resident. An unscheduled vacancy automatically occurs when a resident holding an appointment position on a City Board, Committee, or Commission becomes a non-resident by moving out of National City limits. When an unscheduled vacancy occurs due to a resident becoming a non-resident, the unscheduled vacancy may be filled as follows: a. A special vacancy notice shall be posted in the Office of the City Clerk, and in other places as directed by the City Council, not earlier than 20 days before or not later than 20 days after the vacancy occurs. Final Appointment at a City Council Meeting shall not be made by the Appointing Authority for at least 10 working days after the posting of the notice in the City Clerk’s Office. b. The Appointing Authority may appoint the former resident to a Non- Residential position if a Non-Residential position is vacant. However, the Appointing Authority may, if it finds that an emergency exists, fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately. A person appointed to fill the vacancy shall serve only on an acting basis until the final appointment is made pursuant to this section. 13.

Page 73 of 821 CITY COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDED: October 15, 2024 ADOPTED: June 17, 1986 POLICY # 107 TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees Attendance: Regular attendance at meetings is critical to be effective operation of City Boards, Commissions, and Committees. The City Council relies on the advice of the City’s Boards, Commissions, and Committees, which is the result of discussions among appointed members. The City Council anticipates that members of Boards, Committees, and Commissions shall make every reasonable effort to attend all regular and special meetings of their respective Boards, Commissions, and Committees, and to be prepared to discuss matters on their respective agendas. A Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission shall be considered removed from any advisory board under the following conditions: 1. A Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission with unexcused absences from three consecutive regularly scheduled meetings. 2. A Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission misses more than 25% of the advisory body’s meetings in a calendar year. 3. A Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission must be present at least one hour, or 50% of the entire meeting, whichever is less, to be counted as present for purposes of attendance. Excused Absences: An “excused absence” is only granted when absolutely necessary and pre- approved if at all possible. The City Council encourages Boards, Commissions, and Committees to refrain from scheduling meetings on cultural and religious holidays in order to encourage full participation by all Commissioners, Board Members, and the public. The pre-approval of excused absences will be by the body as a whole and documented in the meeting minutes. Excused absences are listed as follows: 1. Illness of the Commissioner or Member of the Board, Committee, or Commission, their family member, or their personal friend; 2. Business commitment of the Commissioner or Member of the Board, Committee, or Commission that interferes with the attendance at a meeting; 3. Attendance of the Commissioner or Member of the Board, Committee, or Commission at a funeral, religious service or ceremony, wedding, or other similarly-significant event; or Page 74 of 821 CITY COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDED: October 15, 2024 ADOPTED: June 17, 1986 POLICY # 107 TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees 4. Other reason for which the Commissioner or Member of the Board, Committee, or Commission has given notice to the Chairperson or Secretary of their unavailability fifteen (15) days in advance, as long as the unavailability is not expected to last longer than 30 days. Removal: The Secretary or Lead of each Board, Commission, or Committee will report the attendance to the Office of the City Clerk on a monthly basis. If the attendance or absences fall within these guidelines, the Office of the City Clerk will prepare a report to City Council for review and possible removal of the Commissioner, Member, or Alternate sitting on the Board, Committee, or Commission. Any Commissioner, Member, or Alternate sitting on a Board, Committee, or Commission may be removed from office at any time by a simple majority vote of the City Council at a regularly scheduled Council meeting with or without cause. Mandatory Training and Filing Requirements: Commissioners and Members of Board, Committee, or Commission, as appointed by the legislative body, are entrusted with certain responsibilities and concomitant training and reporting.

An unscheduled vacancy shall be filled according to Government Code Section 54974, which generally provides as follows: Whenever an unscheduled vacancy occurs, whether due to resignation, death, termination, or other causes, a special vacancy notice shall be posted in the Office of the City Clerk, the City website, outside City Hall on the Bulletin Board, and on City social media platforms not earlier than twenty (20) days before or not later than twenty (20) days after the vacancy occurs. The City Council shall not make a final appointment for at least ten (10) working days after posting the notice in designated locations. The notice’s posting and application period shall be thirty (30) calendar days. However, if it finds that an emergency exists, the City Council may, fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately. According to this section, a person appointed to fill the vacancy shall serve only on an interim basis until the final appointment. The end of term for the members of Boards, Commissions, and Committees generally occurs in an annual rotation during the months of March and September. Appointments will be considered at those times unless a vacancy resulting from a resignation results in the lack of a Quorum on the Board, Commission, or Committee, in which case the appointment could occur at the time of the unscheduled vacancy in accordance with the procedure set out above. 3. Government Code Section 40605, and National City Municipal Code Title 16, grants the Mayor, with the City Council’s approvals, the authority to make all appointments unless otherwise explicitly provided by statute. The exceptions are: 1. Civil Service Commission 2. Planning Commission 3. Housing Advisory Committee including Ex-Officio Members 4. Port Commission The City Council fills vacancies on these bodies. D. Implementation. Implementation of Council policy for appointment to Boards, Commissions, and Committees requires the following: 1.

The City Clerk will prepare the list of all regular and ongoing Boards, Commissions, and Committees appointed by the Mayor or the City Council.

During the one-year retention period of the application, an applicant shall be considered for other vacancies on Boards, Commissions, and Committees. The City Clerk’s Office will notify the applicant being considered for an appointment to confirm that they are still interested in volunteering. 5. A member may only serve on one (1) Board, Commission, or Committee at a time. If an applicant applies for another position on a different Board, Commission, or Committee, that applicant will forfeit the prior seat and a vacancy will occur per policy. 6. Residency requirement: If a position on the Board, Commission or Committee is for a resident, the applicant must be a resident at the time of submitting the application. The address must be an identifiable National City address, with verification by the City Clerk’s Office. If an applicant is found to be a non-resident, they will not be considered. They will be encouraged to apply for a non-resident seat when available. 7. Interviews: a. Mayor Appointments: Interviews for Mayoral appointments will be conducted by the Mayor outside of the public meeting and scheduled by the Mayor’s Office. b. City Council Appointments: Interviews for the four (4) Civil Service Commission, Planning Commission, Housing Advisory Committee, and Page 120 of 821 CITY COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDED: October 15, 2024 ADOPTED: June 17, 1986 POLICY # 107 TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees Port Commission who serve at the City Council’s pleasure and are appointed by the City Council as a body will be interviewed in the public forum at a City Council Meeting as described below. c. The City Clerk’s Office makes attempts to inform applicants of the date and time of the City Council Meeting scheduled for interviews and appointments. Allowing the applicant the opportunity to attend in person or via Zoom for interviews and questions. Attempts are made via emails, and telephone calls prior to the meeting. 8. Mayoral Appointments: The Mayor will make the motion to appoint (naming the appointee) and Councilmembers may second the motion. The City Clerk will then take a roll call vote of the City Council. A majority vote of the City Council will be required for the appointment. If the majority of the City Council choose to deny the proposed appointment, the Mayor shall either propose an alternative candidate from the current application pool or choose to reopen the application period and return to the City Council at a future City Council Meeting with a different applicant for consideration. If a Mayoral Appointment is not approved by the majority of the City Council by confirmation, that applicant is removed from the pool for that seat. The Mayor will return to a future meeting with a substitute Mayoral appointment. 9. For City Council Appointments, the Interview Process is as follows: a. The City Clerk will provide an overview of the Board, Commission, or Committee(s) with current vacancy (ies). The Mayor will introduce the applicant and two (2) questions will be asked of each applicant on behalf of the City Council. b. Each applicant is given two (2) minutes to make a brief introduction of themselves and their qualifications to the City Council. c. Mayor and City Councilmembers will ask questions of each applicant. All applicants must be asked the same questions. d. Total time per applicant is five (5) timed minutes with time allowed for clarification at the discretion of the City Council, not to exceed ten (10) minutes total per applicant. Page 121 of 821 CITY COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDED: October 15, 2024 ADOPTED: June 17, 1986 POLICY # 107 TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees e. All appointments and interviews before the City Council will be scheduled as needed to fill unexpected vacancies, with every effort to be made before an individual's term expires. Interviews may take place at one meeting, with appointments made at a subsequent meeting. 9. Vacancies for City Council Appointed Positions. If the vacancy is for a City Council appointed position, and there is more than one (1) applicant for a given position, the voting process will proceed as follows: Once the interviews are complete, each Councilmember votes for their choice via a written ballot provided by the City Clerk. Each Councilmember shall print and sign their name on the ballot. All ballots shall be considered a public record and be open to inspection by the public. The ballots are passed to the City Clerk who announces the number of votes for each candidate. If the appointment process is conducted via a virtual meeting the process is the same except the ballot/vote process. The City Clerk’s Office will provide a Vote Sheet (a piece of paper electronically) with the name of each applicant to be considered. Councilmembers will mark their paper, fold it and hand to the City Clerk as they are collected. If a member is virtual, they will announce their vote verbally first before any other votes are read into the record. The City Clerk will tally the votes and will then confirm the votes with a verbal roll call. The applicant with the most votes is appointed. In the event of a tie, each Councilmember votes again until one (1) candidate has the majority vote and is declared to be the newly–appointed member of the Board, Commission, or Committee. 10. Re-appointment beyond two terms. Anyone wishing to be re-appointed to any Board, Commission, or Committee and has served two or more full terms already must be approved by a four-fifths vote of the City Council. If all five members of the City Council are not present, or if one member abstains or recuses their vote, the four- fifths requirement shall be changed to require only a simple majority. 11. Report to Council: All applications received for vacancies, whether Mayoral Appointment or City Council Appointment, will be attached to the staff report to Council. All applications will have private personal information redacted (name, street numbers and name of street address, and phone number). This redacted information is in alignment with Government Code Section 6255(a) because the public interest served by not disclosing the applicant’s personal, private information and protection of the Page 122 of 821 CITY COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDED: October 15, 2024 ADOPTED: June 17, 1986 POLICY # 107 TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees applicant’s right to privacy outweighs the public interest served by disclosing that information. 12. An automatic vacancy upon becoming a Non-Resident. An unscheduled vacancy automatically occurs when a resident holding an appointment position on a City Board, Committee, or Commission becomes a non-resident by moving out of National City limits. When an unscheduled vacancy occurs due to a resident becoming a non-resident, the unscheduled vacancy may be filled as follows: a. A special vacancy notice shall be posted in the Office of the City Clerk, and in other places as directed by the City Council, not earlier than 20 days before or not later than 20 days after the vacancy occurs. Final Appointment at a City Council Meeting shall not be made by the Appointing Authority for at least 10 working days after the posting of the notice in the City Clerk’s Office. b. The Appointing Authority may appoint the former resident to a Non- Residential position if a Non-Residential position is vacant. However, the Appointing Authority may, if it finds that an emergency exists, fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately. A person appointed to fill the vacancy shall serve only on an acting basis until the final appointment is made pursuant to this section. 13. Only City Residents may be elected to Chair and Vice-Chair positions. To be eligible to be elected as the Chairperson of a City Board, Committee, or Commission, the member must be a resident of the City. 14. Resignations, Attendance, Training, and Removals Resignation: If a Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission is unable to continue serving because of health, business requirements, or personal reasons, a letter of resignation shall be submitted to the City Clerk, who will present to the City Council. Page 123 of 821 CITY COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDED: October 15, 2024 ADOPTED: June 17, 1986 POLICY # 107 TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees Attendance: Regular attendance at meetings is critical to be effective operation of City Boards, Commissions, and Committees. The City Council relies on the advice of the City’s Boards, Commissions, and Committees, which is the result of discussions among appointed members. The City Council anticipates that members of Boards, Committees, and Commissions shall make every reasonable effort to attend all regular and special meetings of their respective Boards, Commissions, and Committees, and to be prepared to discuss matters on their respective agendas. A Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission shall be considered removed from any advisory board under the following conditions: 1. A Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission with unexcused absences from three consecutive regularly scheduled meetings. 2. A Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission misses more than 25% of the advisory body’s meetings in a calendar year. 3. A Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission must be present at least one hour, or 50% of the entire meeting, whichever is less, to be counted as present for purposes of attendance. Excused Absences: An “excused absence” is only granted when absolutely necessary and pre- approved if at all possible. The City Council encourages Boards, Commissions, and Committees to refrain from scheduling meetings on cultural and religious holidays in order to encourage full participation by all Commissioners, Board Members, and the public. The pre-approval of excused absences will be by the body as a whole and documented in the meeting minutes. Excused absences are listed as follows: 1. Illness of the Commissioner or Member of the Board, Committee, or Commission, their family member, or their personal friend; 2. Business commitment of the Commissioner or Member of the Board, Committee, or Commission that interferes with the attendance at a meeting; 3. Attendance of the Commissioner or Member of the Board, Committee, or Commission at a funeral, religious service or ceremony, wedding, or other similarly-significant event; or Page 124 of 821 CITY COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDED: October 15, 2024 ADOPTED: June 17, 1986 POLICY # 107 TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees 4. Other reason for which the Commissioner or Member of the Board, Committee, or Commission has given notice to the Chairperson or Secretary of their unavailability fifteen (15) days in advance, as long as the unavailability is not expected to last longer than 30 days. Removal: The Secretary or Lead of each Board, Commission, or Committee will report the attendance to the Office of the City Clerk on a monthly basis. If the attendance or absences fall within these guidelines, the Office of the City Clerk will prepare a report to City Council for review and possible removal of the Commissioner, Member, or Alternate sitting on the Board, Committee, or Commission. Any Commissioner, Member, or Alternate sitting on a Board, Committee, or Commission may be removed from office at any time by a simple majority vote of the City Council at a regularly scheduled Council meeting with or without cause. Mandatory Training and Filing Requirements: Commissioners and Members of Board, Committee, or Commission, as appointed by the legislative body, are entrusted with certain responsibilities and concomitant training and reporting.

Ron Morrison, Mayor ATTEST: Shelley Chapel, MMC, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Barry J. Schultz, City Attorney Page 186 of 821 AGENDA REPORT Department: Engineering and Public Works Prepared by: Ricardo Rodriguez, Assistant Engineer-Civil Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 Approved by: Scott W. Huth, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: August 2025 Update of Sewer System Management Plan RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Accepting the Updated Sewer System Management Plan.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: Not Applicable. EXPLANATION: The City of National City owns, operates and maintains a sanitary sewer collection system that conveys wastewater from all properties within the City to the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant. Like all other participating agencies that operate their own sanitary sewer collection systems, the City of National City is required to take a variety of steps to prevent overflows from their sanitary sewer collection system. The actions taken to prevent and respond to sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) are detailed in the Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) which is a document required by the State of California. The State regulations that require the development and implementation of an SSMP include State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ, San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Order No. R9- 2013-0001, as amended by order numbers R9-2015-0001 and R9-2015-0100, and SWRCB Order WQ 2013-0058-EXEC. National City’s current SSMP was adopted by the City Council on June 4, 2024, per Resolution No. 2024-56, following updates due to the issuance of an updated permit from the SWRCB, Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ. The City also received an audit of its wastewater program by the Regional Water Quality Control Board in June 2024. Following the audit, minor revisions were made to the SSMP to reflect commitments made by the City, clarify spill response and reporting requirements, and to update contact information for City staff. Notable changes include: 1. The return to a primarily in-person approach to Food Service Establishment (FSE) inspections for adherence to the City’s Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Ordinance and updates to FOG BMPs and educational materials to align with the FOG Ordinance. 2. Minor revisions to the Spill Emergency Response Plan to update contact information and process steps. 3. Inclusion of the City’s plan to address training requirements related to sewer spill prevention, response, and reporting for development projects. Page 187 of 821 Additionally, in July of 2025 the City completed a Climate Change Asset Vulnerability Assessment to meet the State Permit’s requirement to “Identify system assets vulnerable to direct and indirect impacts of climate change, including but not limited to: sea level rise; flooding and/or erosion due to increased storm volumes, frequency, and/or intensity; wildfires; and increased power disruptions.” The assessment considers potential future impacts of climate change and included several components, summarized below. The City’s existing program addresses near term concerns, and the results of the assessments related to longer-term concerns will be considered and addressed in wastewater capital project planning. 1. Evaluated the potential effects of future sea level rise for near term and longer-term scenarios using USGS Coastal Storm Modeling System for Southern California data. 2. Utilized CalFire’s most recent Fire Hazard Severity Zone map to evaluate whether any wastewater assets are in areas with high fire risk. 3. Identified locations where City wastewater pipes cross or run next to creeks, rivers, or other open drainage conveyance channels. Evaluated potential for erosion that could occur as a result of more intense storms in the future to expose the pipelines to damage. 4. Evaluated potential for increased ambient temperatures due to climate change to impact wastewater treatment process temperatures. 5. Documented that backup generators are installed at the City’s pump stations to ensure continued operation during power disruptions. The assessment report has been added to Appendix G of the SSMP, and the body of the SSMP was updated to include a reference to the document. Staff recommends adoption of the Sewer System Management Plan updated in August of 2025, as presented. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Current operation of the municipal sewer system is consistent with the previously adopted plan. Changes in costs have been approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget in accordance with the staffing levels of the Engineering & Public Works Department’s Street & Wastewater Division. The cost of FSE inspections for compliance with the City’s FOG Ordinance are fully recoverable per the City’s Master Fee Schedule, adopted on June 3, 2025.

The order requires all federal and state agencies, municipalities, counties, districts, cities, and other public entities that own or operate a sanitary sewer system greater than one mile in length to comply with the requirements of the SSSWDR and to develop and implement a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). While SWRCB Order WQ 2022-0103 DWQ is the primary regulatory mechanism for sanitary sewer systems statewide, it allows each regional board to issue more stringent or prescriptive waste discharge requirements for sanitary sewer systems within their respective jurisdictions. Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Order R9-2007- 0005 applies to collection agencies in the San Diego Region, including the City of National City (City), and requires the reporting of all Private Lateral Sewage Discharges (PLSD). The order acknowledges that the City is not responsible for the cause, cleanup or repair of PLSDs but is responsible for PLSD notification and reporting to regulatory agencies following a specific timeline. This SSMP has been prepared in accordance with the following regulations, included in Appendix A: • SWRCB Order WQ 2022-0103 DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems • RWQCB Order R9-2007-0005, Waste Discharge Requirements for Sewage Collection Agencies in the San Diego Region The SSSWDR include directives for the management, operation, and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system as well as proper control, containment, and cleanup of any spills that occur. They also require that spills be reported to the SWRCB using the online California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS). This ensures a uniform approach for reporting and tracking spills. Each agency that is responsible for the operation of the sanitary sewer system must develop and implement a SSMP that details the procedures and activities that City staff follow in order to comply with applicable SSSWDR elements. This SSMP is designed to protect the health and safety of the public and the environment and to provide the best management practices (BMPs) for the operation and maintenance of the collection system while in compliance with the orders issued by the SWRCB and the San Diego RWQCB. The organization of this SSMP is consistent with the SWRCB guidelines and includes the following eleven SSSWDR elements: 1. Goals 2. Organization Page 195 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 2 3. Legal Authority 4. Operation and Maintenance Program 5. Design and Performance Provisions 6. Spill Emergency Response Plan 7. Fats, Oil, and Grease Control Program 8. System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan 9. Monitoring, Measurement and Plan Modifications 10. SSMP Program Audits 11. Communication Program Throughout this document, the Required Elements for the SSMP as quoted from the SSSWDR Attachment D is denoted by Italic and underlined font, followed by descriptions of how the City meets the required element. Supporting information is provided in referenced appendices. Page 196 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 3 Chapter 1: Sewer System Management Plan Goal and Introduction The City’s Goals address the SSMP provision outlined in the SSSWDR Attachment D, Section 1. The goal of the Sewer System Management Plan is to provide a plan and schedule to: (1) properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the Enrollee’s sanitary sewer system(s), (2) reduce and prevent spills, and (3) contain and mitigate spills that do occur. The Plan must include a narrative Introduction section that discusses the following items: 1.1 Regulatory Context The Plan Introduction section must provide a general description of the local sewer system management program and discuss Plan implementation and updates. The City of National City strives to provide safe and efficient operation of the sanitary sewer system through the following goals: 1. Proper management, operation, and maintenance of all parts of the City’s system, including adequate training for system operators and accurate record-keeping of cleaning and maintenance activities. 2. Maintenance and improvement of the condition of the collection system infrastructure to ensure reliable service and to prevent spills. 3. Assurance of adequate capacity to convey peak wastewater flows as detailed in a long-range planning and improvement plan. This includes implementation of a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as scheduled as well as an annual review of the priority projects to address the most critical maintenance needs. 4. Effective elimination, reduction and prevention of spills through the implementation of a Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Inspection Program designed to reduce the volume of FOG entering the system as well as through regular, proactive maintenance of the system to remove FOG in areas prone to blockages. 5. Effective containment and mitigation of spills that ensures the protection of the public’s health and safety and the environment. This includes the implementation of an effective Spill Emergency Response Plan (SERP) that all staff are properly trained on. 6. Full compliance with all regulatory requirements, including standard operating Page 197 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 4 procedures to meet all applicable spill notification and reporting requirements. 7. Maintain a living document that is updated at least every six years, or as needed in response to program changes or recommendations made as a result of internal audits, conducted at least every three years. 1.2 Sewer System Management Plan Update Schedule The Plan Introduction section must include a schedule for the Enrollee to update the Plan, including the schedule for conducting internal audits. The schedule must include milestones for incorporation of activities addressing prevention of sewer spills. The City conducts and documents an internal audit of their SSMP at least every t hree (3) years as required by SSSWDR Section 5.4, and updates the SSMP at minimum every six (6) years as required by SSSWDR Section 5.5. Additionally, the Spill Review Committee (composed of the Assistant Director of Engineering and Public Works, Street Maintenance and Wastewater Superintendent, Public Works Crew Supervisor, and wastewater staff) meets to discuss each spill and how to prevent a reoccurrence or to better respond in the future. Actions taken to prevent future spills are documented on the Spill Reporting Form. Spill trends are also annually evaluated as part of the performance parameters previously discussed. Because the Assistant Director of Engineering and Public Works is responsible for ensuring that the wastewater system is managed in accordance with this SSMP, any necessary improvements or modifications to the SSMP activities as noted by the Assistant Director of Engineering and Public Works will be implemented as soon as practical. 1.3 Sewer System Asset Overview The Plan Introduction section must provide a description of the Enrollee -owned assets and service area, including but not limited to: Required element City-Specific Details • Location, including county(ies); City of National City; located within San Diego County • Service area boundary; City jurisdictional boundary • Population and community served; 58,967 • System size, including total length in miles, length of gravity mainlines, length of pressurized (force) mains, and number of pump stations and siphons; 105 miles of gravity sewers 0.25 miles of forced mains and other pressure systems 2 pump stations • Structures diverting stormwater to the sewer system; None known or permitted. Any such structure would be required to be eliminated if found.

Manhole identifications shown on the maps are catalogued in the Sewer Manhole Index. This index lists all City- owned manholes, along with their invert elevations and an associated direction identified (i.e. N, S, E and/or W). A pdf map of applicable storm water conveyance facilities is maintained by the Storm Water Division of the Engineering and Public Works Divisions. 4.2 Preventive Operation and Maintenance Activities (2) A scheduling system and a data collection system for preventive operation and maintenance activities conducted by staff and contractors. The scheduling system must include: • Inspection and maintenance activities; • higher-frequency inspections and maintenance of known problem areas, including areas with tree root problems; and • regular visual and closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections of manholes and sewer pipes. (3) The data collection system must document data from system inspection and maintenance activities, including system areas/components prone to root-intrusion potentially resulting in system backup and/or failure. The City is committed to a regular sanitary sewer maintenance program in order to reduce and prevent spills and to extend the useful life of the system. This includes routine maintenance and cleaning of wastewater facilities and pipelines. These procedures are documented in the Sewer Operations, Maintenance, and Repair Program SOP (Appendix Page 205 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 12 D). The City has divided its sewerage system into 11 sections for routine maintenance and cleaning. Approximately one section is cleaned each month, which ensures that all gravity mains in the City are cleaned at least once per year. Sections of the sewer system that require more frequent cleaning are identified on the high frequency maintenance list. The list includes fats, oils, and grease (FOG) problem areas that require at least monthly cleaning and maintenance. These hotspots are presented in the sewer cleaning frequency map (Appendix D). City staff also conducts visual inspections of the manholes and pipes as part of the cleaning protocol. Closed circuit televising (CCTV) of manholes and sewer pipes are done based on these observations. Known problem areas and complaint issues are prioritized for video inspection. Additionally, the City inspects and maintains two force mains. The force main at 14th Street and Tidelands Avenue is a very short segment and can be easily accessed via manhole inspection. The force main at 24th Street (Bay Marina Drive) and Tidelands Avenue is inspected at least twice per year. It should be noted that this force main is not always used on daily basis. The City’s two pump stations at these locations are inspected every business day. A pump station operation and maintenance SOP was developed in August 2016 for each pump station location and is included in Appendix D. An Emergency Response Plan specific to these pump stations was also developed in December 2023 and is included in Appendix D. A hard copy of the pump station SOP and appendices is kept in the Public Works office. The City documents the Preventative Maintenance (PM) program of scheduled and conducted activities in several ways. A typical monthly schedule for maintenance and cleaning of wastewater facilities and pipes is provided in the City’s Wastewater Division Basic Work Schedule packet (Appendix D). This packet includes the forms used to document manhole inspections and sewer cleaning. The Sanitary Sewer Manhole Inspection Form and the Sewer Cleaning Log Form are completed by sewer staff following cleaning activities. Additionally, the sewer staff records activities in daily log books. Sewer related complaints are tracked using the Work Request Form. Finally, CCTV printouts with photos are generated following each video inspection. Cleaning and maintenance schedules are reviewed and adjusted as necessary upon completion of sewer televising and after spills. Sites are added to the High Frequency Maintenance List as necessary. The current list of sewer hotspots has been digitized and is updated as needed to help aid in program planning. Additionally, the FOG inspection program results are tracked in an electronic database, and may be used to compare to the list of priority cleaning locations. Page 206 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 13 4.3 Training (4) In-house and external training provided on a regular basis for sanitary sewer system operations and maintenance staff and contractors. The training must cover: • the requirements of this General Order; • the Enrollee’s Spill Emergency Response Plan procedures and practice drills; • skilled estimation of spill volume for filed operators; and • electronic CIWQS reporting procedures for staff submitting data. The City recognizes the importance of consistent staff training and documentation of training sessions. The City’s wastewater staff is trained on wastewater operations and maintenance policies, procedures, safety policies, and equipment. The Public Works Crew Supervisor is responsible for documenting the details of each training event including dates, content, and participating employees. A sample training log template is provided in Appendix D. A training binder is kept in the Public Works office. Training components include the following: • The SSMP is accessible to all staff for review; a hard copy is kept in the Public Works office. • New wastewater hires or staff transferred from another group in Engineering/Public Works are trained on the SSMP. This awareness training discusses the specifics of the Plan and the responsibilities of each employee. • An all staff training on the SSMP, including the Operations and Maintenance procedures, is conducted at least annually and reinforced during biweekly staff meetings. • Initial and recurrent training on the Operations and Maintenance component of the SSMP is provided as necessary to outside contractors. • Equipment training is primarily “on-the-job” training that is supplemented during safety and operations meetings. • In-house training sessions on technical skills or other job-related skills are provided as necessary at the discretion of the Assistant Director of Engineering and Public Works. • Individual employee trainings and competencies are annually tracked. Additional training requirements on the City’s Spill Emergency Response Plan (SERP) are described in Section 5 “Training” of the SERP (see Appendix E). Page 207 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 14 4.4 Equipment Inventory (5) An inventory of sewer system equipment, including the identification of critical replacement and spare parts. The City has developed equipment and replacement part inventories and an inventory of chemicals maintained by the sewer staff. These are listed in the Sewer Operations, Maintenance, and Repair Program and Pump Station SOPs included in Appendix D. Inventory maintenance is ongoing; materials are replaced as-needed. All materials listed on the equipment and replacement part inventories are considered critical. Page 208 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 15 Chapter 5: Design and Performance Provisions The City’s Design and Performance Provisions include the mandatory SSMP items outlined in the SSSWDR Attachment D, Section 5. 5.1 Updated Design Criteria and Construction Standards and Specifications (1) Updated design criteria, and construction standards and specifications, for the construction, installation, repair, and rehabilitation of existing and proposed system infrastructure components, including but not limited to pipelines, pump stations, and other system appurtenances. If existing design criteria and construction standards are deficient to address the necessary component-specific hydraulic capacity as specified in section 8 (System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance and Capital Improvements) of this Attachment, the procedures must include component-specific evaluation of the design criteria. In June 1992, the City adopted Ordinance No. 92-2033 (Standards for Public Right-of- Way and Public Improvements - see Appendix C), which requires that all new sanitary sewer systems, as well as the rehabilitation and repair of existing sewer facilities, be designed and constructed in accordance with the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook), published by Public Works Standards, Inc.

Procedures and standards for inspecting and testing the installation of new sewers and other appurtenances, and for rehabilitation and repair projects, are outlined in the 2021 Greenbook as described above and authorized by National City Municipal Code Sections 14.06.130 and 14.06.140. It should be noted that although these code sections reference the Uniform Plumbing Code, the City has adopted the 2022 California Plumbing Code (see Section 15.20). Code excerpts are provided in Appendix C. Page 210 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 17 Chapter 6: Spill Emergency Response Plan The City has developed and implemented a Spill Emergency Response Plan (SERP) that identifies measures to protect public health and the environment, as required by SSSWDR Attachment D, Section 6. The City’s SERP is provided as Appendix E, along with supporting attachments. It should be noted that the SERP also incorporates the monitoring and reporting requirements in RWQCB Order R9-2007-0005, although they are not directly addressed in the list below. The Plan must include an up to date Spill Emergency Response Plan to ensure prompt detection and response to spills to reduce spill volumes and collect information for prevention of future spills. The Spill Emergency Response Plan must include procedures to: (1) Notify primary responders, appropriate local officials, and appropriate regulatory agencies of a spill in a timely manner; (2) Notify other potentially affected entities (for example, health agencies, water suppliers, etc.) of spills that potentially affect public health or reach waters of the State ; (3) Comply with the notification, monitoring and reporting requirements of this General Order, State law and regulations, and applicable Regional Water Board Orders; Detailed spill response procedures as well as notification and reporting guidelines are provided in Sections 3 and 4, respectively, of the SERP. A Spill Reporting Flowchart is included as Attachment 5. (4) Ensure that appropriate staff and contractors implement the Spill Emergency Response Plan and are appropriately trained; Training activities are discussed in Section 5 of the SERP. (5) Address emergency system operations, traffic control and other necessary response activities; Spill response procedures are discussed in Section 3 of the SERP. (6) Contain a spill and prevent/minimize discharge to waters of the State or any drainage conveyance system; (7) Minimize and remediate public health impacts and adverse impacts on beneficial uses of waters of the State; Spill response procedures are discussed in Section 3 of the SERP.

(11) Implement pre-planned coordination and collaboration with storm drain agencies and other utility agencies/departments prior, during, and after a spill event; Spill notification and reporting procedures are discussed in Section 4 of the SERP and outline coordination. A spill Reporting Flowchart is included as Attachment 5. (12) Conduct post-spill assessments of spill response activities; Spill post-spill assessments are addressed in Section 5 of the SERP. A Spill Reporting Form is included as Attachment 5 and documents actions taken to prevent future spills. (13) Document and report spill events as required in this General Order; and Spill notification and reporting procedures are discussed in Section 4 of the SERP including all documentation and reporting requirements. (14) Annually, review and assess effectiveness of the Spill Emergency Response Plan, and update the Plan as needed. Spill reviews are addressed in Section 5 of the SERP. Updates to the Plan are made as necessary. The SERP is also reviewed and updated as needed during audits of the SSMP. The SERP also complies with the additional notification requirements outlined in RWQCB Order R9-2007-0005, Waste Discharge Requirements for Sewage Collection Agencies in the San Diego Region. These include: (1) For Category 1 SSOs, the Sewage Collection Agency shall provide notification of the spill to the Regional Board by phone, email, or fax within 24 hours after the City becomes aware of the spill, notification is possible, and notification can be provided without substantially impeding cleanup or other emergency measures. The information reported to the Regional Board shall include the name and phone number of the person reporting the spill, the responsible sewage collection agency, the estimated total sewer overflow volume, the location of the spill, the receiving water (if any), the start date/time of the spill (or whether or not the sewer overflow is still occurring at the time of the report), and confirmation that the local health services agency was or will be notified as required under the reporting requirements of the local health services agency. Page 212 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 19 (2) The Sewage Collection Agency shall provide notification of all Private Lateral Sewage Discharges (as defined in the State Board Order), for which they become aware of, that equal or exceed 1,000 gallons; result in a discharge to a drainage channel and/or surface water; and/or discharge to a storm drainpipe that was not fully captured and returned to the sanitary sewer system, to the Regional Board by phone or fax within 24 hours after the City becomes aware of the Private Lateral Sewage Discharge, notification is possible, and notification can be provided without substantially impeding cleanup or other emergency measures. The information reported to the Regional Board shall include the following information, if known: the name and phone number of the person reporting the Private Lateral Sewage Discharge, the service area where the Private Lateral Sewage Discharge occurred, the responsible party (other than the Sewage Collection Agency, if known), the estimated Private Lateral Sewage Discharge volume, the location of the Private Lateral Sewage Discharge, the receiving water (if any), the start date/time of the Private Lateral Sewage Discharge (or whether or not the sewer overflow is still occurring at the time of the report), and confirmation that the local health services agency was or will be notified as required under the reporting requirements of the local health services agency. (3) The following requirement supersedes the Private Lateral Sewage Discharge Reporting Timeframe for Private Lateral Sewage Discharge in the State Board Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 2022-0103-DWQ: For Private Lateral Sewage Discharges that occur within a Sewage Collection Agency’s service area and that a Sewage Collection Agency becomes aware of, the Sewage Collection Agency shall report the Private Lateral Sewage Discharge to the State Board Online spill Database within 30 days after the end of the calendar month in which the Private Lateral Sewage Discharge occurs. The Sewage Collection Agency must identify the sewage discharge as occurring and caused by a private lateral, and responsible party (other than the Sewage Collection Agency) should be identified, if known. The City will not be responsible for the cause, cleanup, or repair of Private Lateral Sewage Discharges, but only the reporting of those within their jurisdiction and for which they become aware of. Page 213 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 20 Chapter 7: Sewer Pipe Blockage Control Program The Sewer System Management Plan must include procedures for the evaluation of the Enrollee’s service area to determine whether a sewer pipe blockage control program is needed to control fats, oils, grease, rags and debris. If the Enrollee determines that a program is not needed, the Enrollee shall provide justification in its Plan for why a program is not needed. The City’s Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Control Program addresses the mandatory SSMP provisions outlined in the SSSWDR Attachment D, Section 7. The City’s FOG Control Program helps reduce the amount of pipe-blocking substances discharged to the sanitary sewer system as described below. The procedures must include, at minimum: (1) An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of pipe-blocking substances; The City is committed to reducing the amount of pipe-blocking substances discharged to the sanitary sewer system through the implementation of an effective public outreach program to food service and manufacturing establishments (FSEs) and to residents. The City’s Engineering Division annually updates new food service locations within the City’s service area based on business license registration. FOG compliance inspections are conducted at selected FSEs as part of the City’s FOG Inspection Program. High priority facilities are routinely selected for inspection. These include FOG-producing facilities that are in close proximity to known FOG hotspots and sites that failed to comply during the last inspection. Additional FSEs are selected for inspection each year based on time elapsed since their most recent inspection, historical inspection results, FOG generation potential, or other factors pertinent to the City’s sewer system management program implementation. The City may also utilize a FOG BMP Operation and Maintenance Self- Verification process where deemed appropriate and effective; a copy of the FOG BMP Operation and Maintenance Self-Verification Form is provided in Appendix F. FOG inspections include an assessment of the grease control device (GCD) condition where applicable and appropriate, food and grease waste disposal practices, drain screen presence and condition, spill preparedness, and employee training. Businesses also report on GCD maintenance and sewer lateral maintenance. FOG inspection forms are completed digitally via web-based software which produces a report that is emailed to the Responsible Party. During the inspections, business owners are educated on the City’s FOG Control Program and the BMPs required for proper FOG disposal to prevent spills. The required minimum Page 214 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 21 FOG BMPs for FSEs, as well as a FOG fact sheet and employee training template are accessible on the City’s website: (https://www.nationalcityca.gov/government/engineering-public-works/engineering- division/fats-oils-and-grease-fog-control-program) and attached in Appendix F. Businesses receive a list of corrective actions following the inspection, and inspectors work with business owners until compliance is achieved. Enforcement actions are taken as necessary. The public are reminded of proper residential FOG disposal on the City’s website (https://www.nationalcityca.gov/government/engineering-public-works/engineering- division/fats-oils-and-grease-fog-control-program). Residential FOG BMPs are presented on the website and in Appendix F. Both residents and FSEs are reminded of the importance of private sewer lateral maintenance on the City’s website and in the Sewer Lateral Handout in Appendix F. The City encourages residents to report any potential sewer spill to the City’s Storm Water Hotline at (619) 336-4389. Lastly, the City began adding residential FOG control messages to its environmental educational calendar in 2015 to help educate residents about how they can reduce FOG discharges to the City’s sanitary sewer system. The calendar is produced every year and distribute to the public. FOG-related messages include methods and resources for proper disposal of grease and common “Do’s” and “Don’ts” for residential grease control. (2) A plan and schedule for the disposal of pipe-blocking substances generated within the sanitary sewer system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal facilities and/or additional facilities needed to adequately dispose of substances generated within a sanitary sewer system service area; Residents can store their cooled used cooking oil and grease in a leak -proof container and drop it off at one of EDCO’s 6 buyback locations. Directions and hours can be found on EDCO’s website (www.edco.com). Residential used cooking oil and grease is also accepted at the South Bay Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. The City’s Minimum FOG BMPs for FSEs require that waste cooking grease/oil and FOG from GCD maintenance must be hauled away by an authorized grease hauler and properly disposed of or recycled, and prohibits disposal to the sanitary sewer or storm drain system. (3) The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent spills and blockages caused by FOG; The City possesses the legal authority to prohibit discharges to the sewer system and to identify measures to prevent spills and blockages caused by FOG through the National Page 215 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 22 City Municipal Code, Sections 14.06.180, 14.06.190, 14.16.020, 14.16.080, and 14.24. Excerpts are provided in Appendix C. (4) Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors), design standards for the removal devices, maintenance requirements, best management practices requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements; The City’s minimum FOG BMPs (see Appendix F) require that all FSEs within the City have a grease control device (GCD) in the private sanitary sewer system downstream of the kitchen or FOG-generating work area. GCD options include gravity grease interceptors or hydromechanical grease interceptors. City of National City Fats, Oils and Grease Discharge Control Ordinance No. 2024-2531 addresses the installation of grease removal devices (see Appendix C) at new and existing facilities. Design and sizing standards are per 2022 California Plumbing Code, Chapter 10 standards. All FSEs shall be required, at a minimum, to comply with the following grease control maintenance requirements, when applicable: • GCDs shall be maintained in efficient operating condition by periodic removal of the full content of the GCD, which includes wastewater, accumulated FOG, floating materials, sludge and solids. • No FOG that has accumulated in a GCD shall be allowed to pass into any sewer lateral, sewer system, storm drain, or public right-of-way during maintenance activities. • GCDs shall be fully pumped out and cleaned at a frequency such that the combined FOG and solids accumulation at no time exceeds 25% of the total design hydraulic depth of the GCD. This is to ensure that the minimum hydraulic retention time and required available hydraulic volume is maintained to effectively intercept and retain FOG discharge to the sewer system. • If a GCD, at any time, contains FOG and solids accumulation that does not meet the requirements described in the previous paragraph, the FSE shall be required to have the GCD serviced immediately such that all fats, oils, grease, sludge, and other materials are completely removed from the GCD. If deemed necessary, the City may also require an increase in the maintenance frequency of the GCD from the current frequency. • Wastewater, accumulated FOG, floating materials, sludge/solids, and other materials removed from the GCD shall be disposed off-site properly by waste haulers in accordance with federal, state and/or local laws. Page 216 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 23 Pre-treatment grease control best management practices (source control BMPs) and maintenance requirements are reviewed with business owners of FSEs during FOG compliance inspections (see Appendix F). Source control BMPs are especially important in limiting the amount of FOG that reaches a GCD. Proper implementation of these ensures that the GCD is functioning effectively and reduces the frequency of GCD maintenance. GCDs are required to have a total grease and solids accumulation of less than 25% by volume in order to be in compliance. Records of GCD cleaning and maintenance, sewer lateral maintenance, as well as documentation of waste hauling from GCDs and/or grease bins and employee training are required to be kept by FSEs for a minimum of two years as applicable. Requirements for record keeping are discussed during FOG inspections and contact information to report a spill is provided. See Appendix F for details. (5) Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and whether the Enrollee has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the fats, oils, and grease ordinance; The City has the authority to inspect grease producing facilities through the National City Municipal Code Section 14.16.080 and 14.24, and enforces any violation of its sewer ordinances per Municipal Code Chapters 1.44 and 1.48. Municipal code excerpts are in Appendix C. Routine and follow up FSE inspections are conducted by trained City or contract staff. Escalated enforcement action (e.g. administrative citation) is done by the City’s Code Enforcement. (6) An identification of sanitary sewer system sections subject to fats, oils, and grease blockages and establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section; and The City has identified sections of their sanitary sewer system subject to high levels of FOG. These are shown on the sewer cleaning frequency map (Appendix D). The City has established cleaning and maintenance schedules for these problem sections as noted on the High Frequency Maintenance List are provided in Appendix D. The list of sewer cleaning hotspots has been digitized and is used to help in FOG program planning. Additionally, FOG inspection program results are tracked in an electronic database and may be compared to the list of priority cleaning locations. (7) Implementation of source control measures for all sources of fats, oils, and grease discharged to the sanitary sewer system for each section identified above. Source control best management practices (BMPs) remove a significant portion of FOG before the effluent reaches the sanitary sewer system. For FSEs, this helps GCDs perform Page 217 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 24 more effectively and also reduces the maintenance frequency for GCDs. As previously discussed, the City conducts FOG inspections at selected FSEs each year, and may also utilize a FOG BMP Self-Verification program where appropriate. All FSEs shall be required, at a minimum, to comply with the following FOG BMPs, when applicable: • Installation of Drain Screens. Drain screens shall be installed on all drainage pipes in food preparation and utensil cleaning areas. • Segregation and Collection of Waste Cooking Oil. All waste cooking oil shall be collected and stored properly in recycling receptacles such as barrels or drums. Such recycling receptacles shall be maintained properly to ensure that they do not leak. Licensed waste haulers or an approved recycling facility must be used to dispose of waste cooking oil. Maintenance logs showing waste hauling -pumping frequency or receipts, or legible copies of receipts from an authorized waste hauler must be kept on site at all times and be accessible for inspection at request of authorized inspector. • Disposal of Food Waste. All food waste shall be disposed of directly into the trash or garbage, and not in sinks. Double-bagging food wastes that have the potential to leak in trash bins is highly recommended. • Employee Training. Employees of the FSE shall be trained by ownership/management periodically. Training shall be documented and employee signatures retained indicating each employee’s attendance and understanding of the practices reviewed. Training records shall be available for review at any reasonable time by an inspector or city representative. Training shall include the following subjects: o Proper implementation of FOG minimum BMPs that employees will be responsible for implementing o How to “dry wipe” pots, pans, dishware and work areas before washing to remove grease. o How to properly dispose of food waste and solids in enclosed plastic bags prior to disposal in trash bins or containers to prevent leaking and odors. o The location and use of absorption products to clean under fryer baskets and other locations where grease may be spilled or dripped. Page 218 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 25 o How to properly dispose of grease or oils from cooking equipment into a grease receptacle such as a barrel or drum without spilling. • Maintenance of Kitchen Exhaust Filters. Filters shall be cleaned as frequently as necessary to be maintained in good operating condition. The wastewater generated from cleaning the exhaust filter shall be disposed properly. • Kitchen Signage. Best management and waste minimization practices shall be posted conspicuously in the food preparation and dishwashing areas at all times. The City’s residential BMPs (Appendix F) highlight the source control BMPs that residents should use to minimize FOG. These include: place cooled oil and grease into trash bins or leak-proof containers for disposal, scrape food scraps from dishes into the trash, and use a strainer in the sink to collect excess food particles, among others. Page 219 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 26 Chapter 8: System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance, and Capital Improvements The City’s System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan includes the mandatory procedures and activities, as outlined in the SSSWDR Attachment D, Section 8. The Plan must include procedures and activities for: (1) Routine evaluation and assessment of system conditions; (2) Capacity assessment and design criteria; (3) Prioritization of corrective actions; and (4) A capital improvement plan. These requirements are addressed in the following sections. 8.1 System Evaluation and Condition Assessment The Plan must include procedures to: (1) Evaluate the sanitary sewer system assets utilizing the best practices and technologies available; (2) Identify and justify the amount (percentage) of its system for its condition to be assessed each year; (3) Prioritize the condition assessment of system areas that: o Hold a high level of environmental consequences if vulnerable to collapse, failure, blockage, capacity issues, or other system deficiencies; o Are located in or within the vicinity of surface waters, steep terrain, high groundwater elevations, and environmentally sensitive areas; o Are within the vicinity of a receiving water with a bacterial-related impairment on the most current Clean Water Act section 303(d) List; (4) Assess the system conditions using visual observations, video surveillance and/or other comparable system inspection methods; (5) Utilize observations/evidence of system conditions that may contribute to exiting of sewage from the system which can reasonably be expected to discharge into a water of the State; (6) Maintain documents and recordkeeping of system evaluation and condition assessment inspections and activities; and The City’s 2008 Sewer System Hydraulic Analysis, 2011 Sewer System Master Plan, and Page 220 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 27 2019 Sewer Master Plan Review and CIP Update (all in Appendix G) summarize the City’s approach to the evaluation and condition assessment of its sanitary sewer system. The latter incorporates the critical findings of the 2018 Manhole Condition Assessments conducted by NV5 and the 2009 Sewer Closed-Circuit Television and Condition Assessment Report by others. The CCTV inspection program serves to regularly document the defects in the collection system and is based on NASSCO PACP standards. The City has CCTV equipment that is regularly used to inspect the collection system. The noted defects are assigned a severity rating and based on the quantity of defects and the noted severity of the defects along a pipe segment, the rehabilitation / replacement method is identified and subsequently prioritized. The findings of the condition assessment program are evaluated against the capacity related projects to avoid potential conflict of the type of improvements needed. In addition, the City maintains a prioritized list of sewer problem areas. Sections of the sewer system that require more frequent cleaning are identified on High Frequency Maintenance list (Appendix D). City staff also conduct visual inspections of the manholes and pipes as part of the cleaning protocol. Televising of manholes and sewer pipes are done based on these observations, and known problem areas and complaint issues are prioritized for video inspection. Footage taken by City crews is reviewed b y sewer staff after collection, and maintenance is done as necessary based on the CCTV footage. (7) Identify system assets vulnerable to direct and indirect impacts of climate change, including but not limited to: sea level rise; flooding and/or erosion due to increased storm volumes, frequency, and/or intensity; wildfires; and increased power disruptions. The City has completed a climate change asset vulnerability assessment to determine potential impacts of sea level rise, wildfire, increased storm volume, frequency, or intensity leading to higher flows, and higher temperatures. A summary of assessment findings has been included in Appendix G. Additionally, the City has ensured backup generators and bypass procedures are in place for the City’s two pump stations to ensure continued operation in the event of power disruptions or capacity exceedances due to storm or tidal influence. The City has recently inspected most of its sewer pipes with CCTV and visited its sewer manholes to collect updated elevation data, which it is using to update hydraulic modeling and condition assessments. This information will be used to prepare an updated list of proposed capital improvements, which will likely also help address future impacts of climate change. The City is also currently evaluating increasing capacity at the two points where its system connects into the downstream City of San Diego South Metro Interceptor, which takes wastewater to the City of San Diego’s treatment plant. Page 221 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 28 8.2 Capacity Assessment and Design Criteria The Plan must include procedures to identify system components that are experiencing or contributing to spills caused by hydraulic deficiency and/or limited capacity, including procedures to identify the appropriate hydraulic capacity of key system element s for: (1) Dry-weather peak flow conditions that cause or contributes to spill events; (2) The appropriate design storm(s) or wet weather events that causes or contributes to spill events; (3) The capacity of key system components; and (4) Identify the major sources that contribute to the peak flows associated with sewer spills. The capacity assessment must consider: (1) Data from existing system condition assessments, system inspections, system audits, spill history, and other available information; (2) Capacity of flood-prone systems subject to increased infiltration and inflow, under normal local and regional storm conditions; (3) Capacity of systems subject to increased infiltration and inflow due to larger and/or higher-intensity storm events as a result of climate change; (4) Increases of erosive forces in canyons and streams near underground and aboveground system components due to larger and/or higher-intensity storm events; (5) Capacity of major system elements to accommodate dry weather peak flow conditions, and updated design storm and wet weather events; and (6) Necessary redundancy in pumping and storage capacities. The City’s 2008 Sewer System Hydraulic Analysis, 2011 Sewer System Master Plan, and 2019 Sewer Master Plan Review and CIP Update (all in Appendix G) summarize the City’s design criteria to ensure sufficient capacity and preserve the estimated lifetime of wastewater infrastructure. The 2019 Sewer Master Plan Review and CIP Update indicates 155 gravity mains recommended for upsizing by 2038. Replacement diameters for all gravity mains are identified to satisfy the City’s design criteria and accommodate peak flows through 2027. Page 222 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 29 8.3 Prioritization of Corrective Action The findings of the condition assessments and capacity assessments must be used to prioritize corrective actions. Prioritization must consider the severity of the consequences of potential spills. Overall, the City’s approach to project prioritization is to distinguish between high priority improvements, such as choke points identified in the system that may have an elevated risk, and other, more moderate priority system upgrades. The timing of moderate priority projects may be driven by opportunities to combine these projects with other street improvement projects for cost efficiency. On the other hand, high priority projects are undertaken directly, even when there are not opportunities to combin e them with other projects, due to their higher level of importance. It should be noted that Engineering and sewer staff work cooperatively when prioritizing sewer projects and consider capacity data, as well as recent CCTV inspection data, and input from field staff on known problem areas. The City’s Engineering Division in coordination with sewer staff reviews the CIP on an annual basis to ensure the most critical needs are addressed. In addition to the list of pipes recommended for upsizing based on the hydraulic analysis, the City maintains a prioritized list of sewer problem areas. Sections of the sewer system that require more frequent cleaning are identified on High Frequency Maintenance list (Appendix D). City staff also conduct visual inspections of the manholes and pipes as part of the cleaning protocol. Televising of manholes and sewer pipes are done based on these observations, and known problem areas and complaint issues are prioritized for video inspection. The City has CCTV equipment that is regularly used to inspect the collection system. Footage taken by City crews is reviewed by sewer staff after collection, and maintenance is done as necessary based on the CCTV footage. Again, problem areas identified in the CCTV footage are communicated to the Engineering staff for consideration in the prioritization of sewer system capital improvement projects. The City’s Engineering Division in coordination with sewer staff reviews the CIP on an annual basis to ensure the most critical needs are addressed. The City contracted a consultant to conduct a hydraulic analysis in 2018 -19 of the current wastewater infrastructure. A phased and prioritized Capital Improvement Program was developed based on the results, including recommended immediate projects, short-term projects, 2012 projects, 2017 projects, and 2027 projects. The report also includes recommendations for monitoring and CCTVing to help prioritize projects. 8.4 Capital Improvement Plan The capital improvement plan must include the following items: 1) Project schedules including completion dates for all portions of the capital improvement program; Page 223 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 30 The City’s CIP is presented in the 2011 Sewer System Master Plan and 2019 Sewer Master Plan Review and CIP Update (Appendix G) as previously described. Based on the hydraulic model results presented in the 2019 update, gravity mains were prioritized in a specific year by their inability to satisfy criteria for peak dry weather conditions, and then by their inability to satisfy criteria in peak wet weather conditions. NV5 utilized the NASSCO Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) structural observations to further prioritize projects within time-increments. Each phase corresponds to one year with an annual budget of approximately $1.4 Million in construction costs. Phases 1 through 3 are grouped by location and ordered from downstream to upstream. Phases 4 and onward are prioritized based on the estimated depth-to-Diameter. It recommends that future Phases be re-evaluated to determine if conditions have changed that could require re - prioritization of the proposed improvements. (2) Internal and external project funding sources for each project; and Funding for these projects is through the Sewer Service Fund. The City allocates funds as needed each year for rehabilitation and replacement of their sewer system. The City’s Engineering Division in coordination with sewer staff reviews the CIP on an an nual basis to ensure the most critical needs are addressed. (3) Joint coordination between operation and maintenance staff, and engineering staff/consultants during planning, design, and construction of capital improvement projects; and Interagency coordination with other impacted utility agencies. The Engineering Division in coordination with sewer staff reviews the CIP schedule on an annual basis and adjusts if necessary to address the most critical issues. Details on the current CIP phases through 2024 are presented in the supporting map in Appen dix H. The City of National City maintains an open line of communication with other adjacent agencies. These include the County of San Diego, City of Chula Vista, City of San Diego, Port of San Diego, and Naval Base San Diego. Appendix E includes the contact information for these jurisdictions.

Chapter 1.44 - ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS Sections: 1.44.010 - Applicability. This chapter provides for administrative citations which are in addition to all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which may be pursued by the city to address any violation of this code and bring about compliance. The administrative citations process set forth in this chapter may be utilized for compliance efforts to correct noncontinuing or continuing violations of this code, such as those that pertain to licensing, animal control, minor building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, fire, grading or zoning violations, subject to the provisions of Section 1.44.030D. Use of this chapter or determination of what constitutes a minor violation shall be at the sole discretion of the city official charged with responsibility for enforcement of the particular code. (Ord. 2242 § 4 (part), 2004; Ord. 2140 § 3 (part), 1998: Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.020 - Enforcement officer defined. For purposes of this chapter, "enforcement officer" means any public officer, city employee or agent of the city with the authority by statute, ordinance or regulation to enforce any provision of this code. (Ord. 2140 § 3 (part), 1998: Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.030 - Administrative citation. Whenever an enforcement officer determines that a violation has occurred, the enforcement officer shall have the authority to issue an administrative citation to any person responsible for the violation. An administrative citation should provide the following information whenever possible: The date of the violation; The identity of the responsible person (owner, tenant, etc.), if available; The address or a definite description of the location where the violation occurred; The section of this code violated and a description of the violation; The amount of the fine for the code violation; A description of the fine payment process, including a description of the time within which and the place to which the fine shall be paid; An order prohibiting the continuation or repeated occurrence of the code violation described in the administrative citation; Page 246 of 821 9. 10. C. D. 1. 2. 3. 4. E. A. A description of the administrative citation review process, including the time within which the administrative citation may be contested and directions on how to contest the administrative citation may be obtained; A statement that the property will be reinspected for compliance, and reinspection fees charged for each reinspection thereafter; and The name and signature of the citing enforcement officer. The signature of the responsible party may be requested but is not necessary. If refused, the issuing officer may note this fact. The administrative citation may, but need not, be signed by the person responsible for the violation. The following procedures will apply in issuing administrative citations for minor code violations of a continuing nature, such as building, plumbing, mechanical, grading, zoning, fire or electrical code: First, a notice of violation shall be issued allowing a minimum period for voluntary compliance and reinspection at no charge for particular violation(s). Except for building code violations or conditions affecting immediate fire and life safety, the correction period should not be less than ten days nor exceed thirty days. Building code violations shall allow for a thirty-day correction period. If conditions affecting immediate fire or life safety concerns require an immediate shutdown of the premises, or any affected portion if feasible, until correction is made, the citation shall establish a defined period for compliance and reinspection not to exceed thirty days. However, under this circumstance, a separate order to stop work or vacate the premises may be required. If, upon reinspection, voluntary compliance is not obtained and the condition(s) not satisfactorily corrected, an administrative citation may then be issued which addresses all remaining violations collectively, imposes a fine and establishes a further date for compliance and reinspection. A maximum of fifteen days may be allowed. Reinspection fees are chargeable at this point. A second or subsequent administrative citation may be issued and a further fine and reinspection fee be imposed if, upon subsequent reinspection, compliance has not been obtained for the particular violation(s) cited under a preceding administrative citation. If compliance is obtained after an administrative citation is issued and the same or similar violation occurs again, an administrative citation and assessment of the penalty applicable to a second violation may be issued instead. An administrative citation may be used for code violations that are not of a continuing nature but may be characterized as a single event or occurrence, such as animal control violations, dumping, pollution or littering, without prior issuance of a notice of violation where the issuing officer concluded that enforcement action, rather than a verbal warning, is warranted. (Ord. 2242 § 4 (part), 2004; Ord. 2140 § 3 (part), 1998: Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.040 - Method of service.

C. A. B. C. A. B. C. A. Personal service; or Certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Simultaneously, the same notice may be signed and sent by regular mail. If a notice that is sent by certified mail is returned unsigned, then service shall be deemed effective pursuant to regular mail, provided the notice that was sent by regular mail is not returned; or Posting the notice conspicuously on or in front of the property, and mailing a copy to the property owner or other responsible party. Service by certified and regular mail in the manner described above shall be effective on the date of mailing. Service by mail shall be to the responsible person's address as indicated on the current assessment roll of the San Diego County assessor. Failure of a responsible party to actually receive notice regularly made in conformity with this Section 1.44.040 shall not affect the validity of the notice or the proceedings. (Ord. 2242 § 4 (part), 2004; Ord. 2140 § 3 (part), 1998: Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.050 - Amount of fines. The following fines shall be imposed for each separate violation of the same code section: One hundred dollars for a first violation; Two hundred dollars for a second violation within the same year; and Five hundred dollars for each additional violation in the same year. (Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.060 - Payment of the fine. The fine shall be paid to the city within thirty days from the date of administrative citation. Any administrative citation fine paid pursuant to subsection A of this section shall be refunded in accordance with Section 1.44.100 if it is determined, after a hearing, that the person charged in the administrative citation was not responsible for the violation or that there was no violation as charged in the administrative citation. Payment of a fine under this chapter shall not excuse or discharge any continuation or repeated occurrence of the code violation that is the subject of the administrative citation. (Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.070 - Hearing request. Any recipient of an administrative citation may contest that there was not a violation of the code or that he or she is not the responsible person by requesting a hearing with the city department specified on the administrative citation within thirty days from the date of the administrative citation, together with Page 248 of 821 B. C. D. A. B. C. D. E. an advance deposit of the fine. The request for hearing may be made via the administrative citation form in the space provided for such action. The person requesting the hearing shall be notified by the department of the time and place set for the hearing at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing. If the enforcement officer submits an additional written report concerning the administrative citation to the hearing officer for consideration at the hearing, then a copy of this report also shall be served on the person requesting the hearing at least five days prior to the date of the hearing. (Ord. 2242 § 4 (part), 2004; Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.080 - Hearing officer. Upon the filing of a request for a hearing of an administrative citation, a hearing officer shall be chosen by the parties, who shall be neutral and unbiased as to the matter in contention. Experience in the subject area is preferred but not a prerequisite. The city shall maintain a panel of candidates available to serve as hearing officers for the administrative citation hearings. The enforcement officer or other designated city representative and the aggrieved party shall select a hearing officer from the list by alternatively striking names from the panel list, beginning with the aggrieved party. The city and the aggrieved party may share the cost of the hearing officer, or if the aggrieved party chooses, the city will pay the full cost of the hearing officer, if requested by the aggrieved party in writing prior to the hearing. The hearing should occur not later than sixty days from the time of the request for administrative hearing filed by the aggrieved party, unless waived by the city and the aggrieved party. (Ord. 2277 § 2, 2005: Ord. 2242 § 4 (part), 2004; Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.090 - Hearing procedure. Before a hearing to contest an administrative citation is held, the fine must be deposited in advance in accordance with Section 1.44.060. A hearing before the hearing officer shall be set for a date that is not less than fifteen days and not more than forty-five days from the date that the request for hearing is filed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. At the hearing, the party contesting the administrative citation shall be given the opportunity to testify and to present evidence concerning the administrative citation. The failure of any recipient of an administrative citation to appear at the administrative citation hearing shall constitute a forfeiture of the fine and the exhaustion of his/her administrative remedies. The administrative citation and any additional report submitted by the enforcement officer shall constitute prima facie evidence of the respective facts contained in those documents. Page 249 of 821 F. A. B. C. D. E. The hearing officer may continue the hearing and request additional information from the enforcement officer or the recipient of the administrative citation prior to issuing a written decision. (Ord. 2140 § 3 (part), 1998: Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.100 - Hearing officer's decision. After considering all of the testimony and evidence submitted at the hearing, the hearing officer shall issue a written decision to uphold or cancel the administrative citation and shall list in the decision the reasons for that decision. The decision of the hearing officer shall be administratively final and constitutes the exhaustion of administrative remedy. Unless appealed to the superior court as provided by statute (see Section 1.44.120), the fine and any reinspection fee imposed by the administrative citation is final. If the hearing officer determines that the administrative citation should be upheld, then the fine amount on deposit with the city shall be retained by the city. If the hearing officer determines that the administrative citation should be canceled, then the city shall promptly refund the amount of the deposited fine, together with interest at the average rate earned on the city's portfolio for the period of time that the fine amount was held by the city. The recipient of the administrative citation shall be served with a copy of the hearing officer's written decision. The employment, performance evaluation, compensation and benefits of the hearing officer shall not be directly or indirectly conditioned upon the amount of administrative citation fines upheld by the hearing officer. (Ord. 2242 § 4 (part), 2004; Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.110 - Recovery of administrative citation fines and costs. Any past due administrative citation fine or late payment charge may be collected by any available legal means. The finance director is primarily responsible for collecting fines and reinspection fees. The city attorney is authorized to file civil process before the superior court to enforce collection. (Ord. 2242 § 4 (part), 2004; Ord. 2121 (part), 1996) 1.44.120 - Right to judicial review. Any person aggrieved by an administrative decision of a hearing officer on an administrative citation may obtain review of the administrative decision by filing an appeal to be heard with the San Diego County superior court within twenty days upon payment of the filing fee in accordance with the timelines and provisions as set forth in California Government Code Section 53069.4. Unless appealed within that time, the fine is final. Page 250 of 821 A. B. A. B. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

This chapter provides for administrative remedies, which are in addition to all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which may be pursued by the city to address any violation of this code. Use of this chapter shall be at the sole discretion of the city. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.020 - Director and authority—Defined. For purposes of this chapter, "director" means the head of any city department or his/her designee, who is charged with responsibility for enforcement of any provision of this code. A director has the authority to record notices of violation against real property on which violations are determined to exist. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998: Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.030 - Compliance order. Whenever the director determines that a violation of any provision of this code within the director's responsibility is occurring or exists, the director may issue a written compliance order to any person responsible for the violation. A compliance order issued pursuant to this chapter shall contain the following information: The date and location of the violation; The identity of the responsible party, if known or available; The section of this code violated and a description of the violation; The actions required to correct the violation; That a notice of violation may be recorded in the real property records of the county of San Diego if compliance with the order is not achieved; The time period after which administrative penalties will begin to accrue if compliance with the order has not been achieved; A statement that the failure to appeal or request a hearing within the times prescribed constitutes a waiver of the right to a hearing and renders the notice of compliance a final order; Either a copy of this chapter or an explanation of the consequences of noncompliance with this chapter and a description of the hearing procedure and appeal process. Page 251 of 821 C. A. 1. 2. 3. B. C. A. The compliance order need not be signed by the person responsible for the violation. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998: Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.040 - Method of service. The compliance order and all notices required to be given under this chapter shall be served by any of the following methods: Personal service; or Certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Simultaneously, the same notice may be signed and sent by regular mail. If a notice sent by certified mail is returned unsigned, then service shall be deemed effective pursuant to regular mail, provided the notice that was sent by regular mail is not returned; or Posting the notice conspicuously on or in front of the property. Service by certified and regular mail in the manner described above shall be effective on the date of mailing if directed to the responsible person's address as indicated on the current assessment roll of the San Diego County assessor. Failure of a responsible party to actually receive notice made in conformity with this Section 1.48.040 shall not affect the validity of the notice or proceedings. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998: Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.050 - Hearing—Review board—Planning commission or advisory and appeals board. In any case where a compliance order is issued by the planning director, and a hearing is to be held on such compliance order, the hearing shall be held and a decision rendered by the planning commission; in any case where a compliance order is issued by the fire chief, the director of building and safety, the city engineer or the director of public works, and a hearing is to be held on such compliance order, the hearing shall be held and a decision rendered by the advisory and appeals board. For the purposes of this chapter, the term "review board" refers to either the planning commission or the advisory and appeals board, as appropriate. In any case where a hearing is held before the review board pursuant to this chapter, the director of the city department which issues the compliance order shall serve as the secretary of the review board. If the review board cannot meet within the prescribed time, then the city council shall act as the review board, in which case the decision shall be final and constitute the exhaustion of administrative remedy. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998: Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.060 - Hearing. If the director determines that all violations have been corrected within the time specified in the compliance order, no further action shall be taken. Page 252 of 821 B. A. B. C. D. A. B. A. B. 1. 2. If full compliance is not achieved within the time specified in the compliance order, the director shall advise the secretary to the review board to set a hearing before the board. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.070 - Hearing—Notice—Scheduling—Purpose.

Every notice of hearing on a compliance order shall contain the date, time and place at which the hearing shall be conducted by the review board. Each hearing shall be set for a date not less than fifteen days nor more than forty-five days from the date of service of the notice of hearing unless the director determines that the matter is urgent or that good cause exists for an extension of time. The purpose of the hearing is to provide the full opportunity for a person subject to a compliance order to object to the determination that a violation has occurred and/or that the violation has continued to exist, or that the person served with the compliance order is the person responsible for the violation. The failure of any person subject to a compliance order, pursuant to this chapter, to appear at the hearing shall constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.080 - Hearing—Procedures. At the place and time set forth in the notice of hearing, the review board shall conduct a hearing on the compliance order issued pursuant to Section 1.48.030. At said hearing, after the director and any representatives of the city have presented evidence pertaining to the compliance order, the person responsible for the violation, the property owner, and any interested person may present evidence on the issue. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.090 - Administrative order. Within a reasonable time after all evidence is received and the hearing is concluded, the review board shall render a decision, which shall be set forth in a written administrative order. The administrative order shall contain findings on the following issues with respect to each violation: The existence of the violation; The failure of the person responsible for the violation to take corrective action within the required time period set forth in the compliance order. Page 253 of 821 C. D. E. 1. 2. 3. F. A. B. 1. 2. 3. C. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The finding of the review board shall be supported by evidence received at the hearing. If the review board finds that no violation has occurred or that the violation was corrected within the time period specified in the compliance order, the administrative order shall contain a finding of those facts. If the review board finds that a violation has occurred, that the violation was not corrected within the time period specified in the compliance order, and that the person responsible for the violation was named in the compliance order, the administrative order shall contain a finding of those facts, and shall impose any or all of the following: An order to correct and to record notice of violation with the county recorder, if appropriate, including a schedule for correction where appropriate; Administrative penalties as provided in Section 1.48.100; Administrative costs as provided in Section 1.48.110. The administrative order shall be served upon the person responsible for the violation pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1.48.040. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998; Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.100 - Administrative penalties. In any case where violation of this code would otherwise constitute a misdemeanor, the review board may impose administrative penalties for such violation in an amount not to exceed a maximum of one thousand dollars per day for each ongoing violation, except that the total administrative penalty shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars exclusive of administrative costs, interest and restitution for compliance reinspections, for any related series of violations. In any case where violation of this code would otherwise constitute an infraction, the review board may impose administrative penalties for such violation as follows: One hundred dollars for a first violation; Two hundred dollars for a second violation within the same year; and Five hundred dollars for each additional violation in the same year. In determining the amount of the administrative penalty, the board may take any or all of the following factors into consideration: The duration of the violation; The frequency, recurrence and number of violations, related or unrelated, by the same violator; The seriousness of the violation; The good faith efforts of the violator to come into compliance; The economic impact of the penalty on the violator; The impact of the violation on the community; Such other factors as justice may require. Page 254 of 821 D. E. 1. 2. 3. F. G. H. I. J. A. B. Administrative penalties imposed by the appeals board shall accrue from the date specified in the compliance order and shall cease to accrue on the date the violation is corrected as determined by the Director or the review board. The review board, in its discretion, may suspend the imposition of applicable penalties for any period of time during which: The violator has filed for necessary permits; and Such permits are required to achieve compliance; and Such permit applications are actively pending before the city, state or other appropriate governmental agency. Administrative penalties assessed by the review board are due by the date specified in the administrative order. Administrative penalties assessed by the review board are a debt owed to the city and, in addition to all other means of enforcement, if the violation is located on real property, may be enforced by means of a lien against the real property on which the violation occurred. If the violation is not corrected as specified in the review board's order to correct, administrative penalties shall continue to accrue on a daily basis until the violation is corrected, subject to the maximum amount set forth in subsections A and B of this section. If the violator gives written notice to the director that the violation has been corrected and if the director finds that compliance has been achieved, the director shall deem the date the written notice was postmarked or personally delivered to the director or the date of the final inspection, whichever first occurred, to be the date the violation was corrected. If no written notice is provided to the director, the violation will be deemed corrected on the date of the final inspection. The director will record a notice of correction with the county recorder when the violation has been corrected, and will record a release of lien when satisfied. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998: Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.110 - Administrative costs. The review board shall assess administrative costs against the violator when it finds that a violation has occurred and that compliance has not been achieved within the time specified in the compliance order. The administrative costs may include any and all costs incurred by the city in connection with the matter before the review board including but not limited to, costs of investigation, staffing costs incurred in preparation for the hearing and for the hearing itself, and costs for all reinspections necessary to enforce the compliance order. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.120 - Failure to comply with administrative order. Page 255 of 821 A. B. A. B. C. Failure to pay the assessed administrative penalties and administrative costs specified in the Administrative order of the review board may be enforced as: A personal obligation of the violator; and/or If the violation is in connection with real property, a lien upon the real property. The lien shall remain in effect until all of the administrative penalties, interest and administrative costs are paid in full. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.130 - Right of judicial review. The administrative order is final, unless appealed. Any person aggrieved by an administrative order of the review board may obtain judicial review of the administrative order by filing an appeal within the timelines and provisions set forth in California Government Code Section 53069.4. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998: Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.140 - Recovery of administrative civil penalties. The city may collect the assessed administrative civil penalties and administrative costs by use of all available legal means, including recordation of a lien pursuant to Section 1.48.170. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.150 - Report of compliance after administrative order. If the director determines that compliance has been achieved after a compliance order has been sustained by the review board, the director shall file a report indicating that compliance has been achieved, and shall record a notice of compliance in the real property records if the notice of violation was recorded. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998: Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.160 - Compliance dispute. If the director does not or refuses to file a report pursuant to Section 1.48.150 above, a violator who believes that compliance has been achieved may request a compliance hearing with the secretary to the board. The hearing shall be noticed and conducted in the same manner as a hearing on a compliance order provided in Section 1.48.050 through 1.48.090 of this chapter, except that no fees shall be required. The review board shall determine if compliance has been achieved and, if so, when it was achieved. (Ord. 2140 § 4 (part), 1998: Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) Page 256 of 821 A. B. C. D. E. F. A. B. C. 1.48.170 - Lien procedure. Whenever the amount of any administrative penalty and/or administrative cost imposed by the review board pursuant to this chapter in connection with real property has not been satisfied in full within ninety days of service of the administrative order, and/or has not been successfully challenged by a timely appeal to the municipal court, this obligation may constitute a lien against the real property on which the violation occurred. The lien provided herein shall have no force and effect until recorded with the county recorder. Once recorded, the administrative order shall have the force and effect and priority of a judgment lien governed by the provisions of Section 697.340 of the Code of Civil Procedure and may be extended as provided in Sections 683.110 to 683.220, inclusive, of the Code of Civil Procedure. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the judgment remaining unsatisfied pursuant to law. Prior to recording any such lien, the director of finance shall prepare and file with the city clerk a report stating the amounts due and owing. The city clerk shall fix a time, date and place for hearing such report and any protests or objections thereto by city council. The director of finance shall cause written notice to be served on the property owner not less than ten days prior to the time set for the hearing.

Any person whose real property is subject to a lien pursuant to Section 1.48.170 may file a written protest with the city clerk and/or may protest orally at the city council meeting. Each written protest or objection must contain a description of the property in which the protesting party is interested and the grounds of such protest or objection. The city council, after the hearing, shall adopt a resolution confirming, discharging or modifying the amount of the lien. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.190 - Recording of lien. Thirty days following the adoption of a resolution by the city council imposing a lien, the city clerk shall file the same as a judgment lien in the office of the county recorder of San Diego County. The lien may carry such additional administrative charges as set forth by resolution of the city council. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 1.48.200 - Satisfaction of lien. Page 257 of 821 A. Once payment in full is received by the city for outstanding penalties and costs, the director of finance shall either record a notice of satisfaction or provide the property owner or financial institution with a notice of satisfaction so they may record this notice with the office of the county recorder. Such notice of satisfaction shall cancel the city's lien. (Ord. 2122 (part), 1996) 14.06.080 - Connections—Approval and inspection required. The size and number of service laterals serving any property shall be determined by the city engineer and such laterals shall be connected only upon the order of the city engineer after the appropriate fees contained in Sections 14.06.050 and 14.06.060 have been paid. The building sewer shall be inspected and approved prior to connections to the service lateral. (Ord. 2052 § 3, 1993: Ord. 1489 § 11, 1975) 14.06.090 - Connections—Permit required—Issuance restrictions. No connection to the public sewers shall be made, or any work done thereon, either in the public streets or alleys, or within property lines, until a permit for such construction and work has been issued therefor by the city. Permits for sewer connection shall be issued only to persons who have plumbing already installed in their premises, or have taken out permits therefor under the provisions of city ordinances. Applications for permits required by the provisions of this chapter shall be made to the director of building and housing. (Ord. 1489 § 21, 1975) 14.16.020 - Objectionable sewage prohibited. It is unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to cause to enter or permit to enter the public sewerage system any substance, liquid, gas or solid which would cause a public nuisance or hazard to life, or would be deleterious to the plumbing system, public sewerage system or to the waters receiving the discharge of the public sewerage system. (Ord. 1289 § 2, 1971) 14.16.080 - Tests—Inspection.

This schedule provides guidance for employees for daily responsibilities and duties. Provided there are no complaints, emergencies, or contrary direction from management, employees should follow the following outline for monthly cleaning/inspection of the 11 areas of National City. Refer to equipment user guides for instructions on equipment. Performed EVERY Working Day Performed 12 Days a Month (3 X per week) Performed 8 Days a Month (2 X per week) Performed 4 Days a Month (1 X per week) The following responsibilities should be completed on an as-needed basis: • Repair Mains ❖ Check Pumps ❖ Mark-out Utilities ❖ Inspect Equipment ❖ Flush Mains ❖ Clean Manholes ❖ Clean Storm Catch Basins ❖ Rod Mains ❖ TV Mains ❖ Inspect Manholes ❖ Inspect open Channels ❖ Perform Pump Page 290 of 821 7 • TV/Repair/Install/Clean Laterals • Sidewalk Repair • Raise Manholes • Clean Open Channels • Courtesy Response • Assist Other Departments • Assist Storm Water Inspector 3.4 Additional Monthly & Quarterly Flushing & Rodding In addition to the routine maintenance schedule described in Section 3.2, the City has identified certain sections of sanitary sewer for more frequent maintenance. This includes areas that have been identified as high priority FOG problem areas, which require monthly maintenance. Sewer crews should have the High Frequency (Monthly) Maintenance List, Quarterly Flushing List, and Quarterly Rodding List, found in Appendix E, on hand, and update them when maintenance is completed. These lists are reviewed and updated periodically with any additional FOG hotspots found during routine and preventative maintenance, as well as complaint issues. The Sewer Cleaning Frequency map below can be used as a visual reference for monthly cleaning activities. Page 291 of 821 8 Page 292 of 821 9 3.5 Procedures for Cleaning/Flushing Mains and Manholes Routine flushing maintenance is used to clean the main sewer lines of any grease, roots, and other debris that may build-up and contribute to spills. A step-by-step guide to performing flushing maintenance, including equipment needs, crew member responsibilities, and required PPE can be found in Appendix C. 3.6 Sanitary Sewer Manhole Inspection Forms and Sewer Cleaning Logs After any cleaning or inspection, staff is required to fill out the Sanitary Sewer Manhole Inspection Form, and the Sewer Cleaning Log for submission to the Wastewater Division. These forms can be found in Appendix D. The Sanitary Sewer Manhole Inspection Form reflects the results from a visual assessment of all manhole structures and performance including: Initial Inspection Structural Inspection Hydraulic Inspection A. Location B. Manhole Cover C. Rings & Frame D. Manhole Material E. Size of Cover A. Steps B. Cone C. Riser D. Shelf E. Channel A. Inflow Indications B. Surcharge Indications C. Clarity of Flow D. Flow E. Flow Depth in Pipe F. Pipe Size Observation summaries, comments, and recommendations are located on the bottom of the form. Depending on observation results, manholes or pipes may be recommended for closed circuit televising (CCTV). The Sewer Cleaning Log should be submitted any time sewer pipes are cleaned. The log reflects the results of cleaning including: • Segment # / Location Description • Estimated length of pipe cleaned (ft.) • Debris that was found in the pipe – Grease, Rocks, Sand, Roots, Etc. • Estimation of the amount of debris – Some, Normal, A lot, Stoppage. Page 293 of 821 10 ▪ A stoppage would be build up of debris which stops the flow of wastewater and allows water to back up behind the stoppage. • Quantity of Debris Removed (lbs.) • Additional notes 3.7 Closed Circuit Televising (CCTV) After manhole and sewer pipe inspections, CCTV is performed based on crew observations. Known problem areas, FOG hotspots, and complaint issues are prioritized for video inspection. CCTV printouts with photos should be generated following each video inspection and turned in to your supervisor. Cleaning and maintenance schedules will be reviewed and adjusted based on sewer televising. Refer to equipment user guide for instruction on operating the TV truck. During CCTV inspections look for the following sewer line conditions: • Root intrusions • Grease build-up • Leaking or disconnected joints • Sediment accumulation • Cracks and holes in pipe structure 4 Reporting & Documentation 4.1 Logging & Reporting Maintenance Activities The following procedures should be used every day to record daily activities: • Daily logs are required to be filled out by sewer staff each day in CityWorks. Log any activities that were completed during the day including: • Date and location of activity. • Lines cleaned/maintained/inspected. • Equipment used. • Sewer crew initials • Issues identified or follow up action necessary. • Update monthly schedule to determine inspections and cleaning that still needs to be completed.

The recommendations are based on industry standard guidelines and include manufacturer specific recommendations for operation and maintenance. Manual will include procedural recommendations for proper operation and maintenance of all equipment including HVAC, mechanical, sensors, electrical equipment and SCADA. Identification of critical deficiencies with general recommendations on how to address them will be provided under separate cover. It is anticipated that three (3) copies of the draft report, plus pdf copy, will be submitted for City review and comment. A brief bullet-format assessment and recommendations memo will accompany the draft submittal with appendices that will include checklists, photographs, and recommendations pertinent to O&M. Recommendations are to be relevant to electrical and SCADA equipment and settings at each site, with applicable calculations, sketches, and annotated photographs as may be required to communicate assessment and procedural recommendations for proper operation and routine maintenance. Calculations and recommendations for revising pumping operational parameters are included in the scope of services. 1.2 Work Completed to Date Data was gathered, reviewed, and compiled in APPENDIX A through H for use in the O&M Manual preparation. 1.2.1 Needed Items: The following items are needed to be gathered or to be developed in order to complete detailed recommendations. 1. Hydro Ranger Program including Set Points. 2. VFD (variable frequency drive) Program and Set Points. 3. Micro PLC program 1.2.2 Overview of the 14th Street SPS and Pipeline A summary overview of the site follows: 1. Location: The 14th Street SPS is located at 1400 Tidelands Avenue. Access to the facility is through the Port of San Diego’s General Services and Procurement Department located at 1400 Tidelands Avenue. The SPS consists of a below-grade wet well and an above- grade single story dry room that houses the electrical equipment. Influent to the pump station consists of discharges from commercial and government tenants, including a dog kennel operator and maritime operations. Maritime operations include buildings and ships at port. The pump station discharges to a manhole located approximately 10 feet north from the SPS. The pump station was upgraded in 2007. Page 323 of 821 August 2016 1-2 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 14th Street SPS O&M Manual 2. Regulatory Deficiencies: The building is deemed by NFPA to be a Hazardous Classified Class 1 facility because it encloses the space above the wet well. Access is not being restricted for confined space per OSHA requirements. The building should be more thoroughly checked for compliance with Division 1 or Division 2 ventilation requirements, and for or electrical conformance NFPA 820 and 70 regulations. 3. The SCADA or remote monitoring equipment was installed but not operational. There is no communication line connection and the system is not powered. 4. Per design and installed, is a control cabinet which house the level controllers (Hydro Ranger) and mini-plc relays etc. It appears that the mini-plc is not working. Work completed and documented in the technical memoranda are the basis of recommendations.

Page 326 of 821 August 2016 3-1 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 14th Street SPS O&M Manual 3 SECTION 3 PUMP ROOM AND MOTOR/CONTROL ROOM This section describes equipment, with a discussion of operation and maintenance procedures. 3.1 Introduction and Summary The site visits conducted at the 14th Street SPS on December 7, 2015 confirmed the pump station layouts, the mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, instrumentation, and pump controls. 3.2 Pump Station Site The pump station site should be kept in a neat and orderly appearance. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Lights working? 2. Noticeable sewage odor? 3. Inspect pump station for any vandalism or damage Monthly 1. Clean up any trash or debris found on the site. Annually 1. Building interior/exterior needs painting? 2. Existing walls/fences need repair? 3. Reroofing required? 3.3 Components, Operations and Controls 3.3.1 Wet Well The 14th Street SPS has a 6-ft diameter wet well and is approximately 22 feet deep. The wet well was lined with Ameron Arrow-Lock PVC in 2007 as part of the pump replacement project. The wet well lining is good condition. See Appendix AppF15 for information on Arrow-Lock. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Check wet well level. Corresponds to the depth of the ultrasonic? Monthly 1. Remove oil and grease from wet well walls. 2. Remove any grit deposits and rags that may accumulate at the bottom of the wet well. This may require drawing down the wet well and vacuuming it out. The periodic removal of rags may reduce the frequency of removing them from the pump impeller. Page 327 of 821 August 2016 3-2 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 14th Street SPS O&M Manual Annually: 1. Inspect wet well for any signs for lining damage or concrete pitting/rebar exposure. At the first signs of lining damage or concrete deterioration, implement plans to repair damage. 2. Inspect all brackets, ladders and pump rails should be inspected for corrosion or damage. Repair as necessary. 3. Do hatches open and close smoothly? Repair if necessary. 3.3.2 Isolation Valves The 14th Street SPS uses Dezurik plug valves to isolate equipment throughout the SPS. Catalog cuts are included in Appendices AppF07 to AppF09. The valves appear to be in good condition and are operated with conventional right-hand-rule of closing when the operator is turned in the clockwise direction. All valves are equipped with handwheel or lever operators. Valves should be operated slowly to minimize the water hammer (surge) effect in the pipeline and other equipment. Operation and Maintenance Annually 1. Valves should be exercised to ensure that they will open/close when required. 2. Check valve seat for wear and replace if necessary. 3. Check valve for leakage. Replace packing if necessary. 4. Touch-up paint where necessary. 5. No lubrication is necessary unless the valve is disassembled. 3.3.3 Flow Control Valves 14th Street SPS uses swing check valves with outside lever and spring for flow control. The check valves are manufactured by M&H. Catalog cuts are included in Appendices AppF10 and AppF11. The check valves are located downstream of the pumps and prevent flow from entering the wet well via the pumps. The valves open automatically when the pumps run and close slowly based on the weight/spring on the lever arm. The speed in which the valves close can be adjusted by the placement of the weight/spring on the lever arm. As with all valves, the valve closing speed should be slow to avoid water hammer occurrences. Valve wear usually occurs primarily to the clapper hinge-and-shaft assemblies and should be checked for looseness. Valves should be chatter-free, not leaking, and seating properly. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Observe check valve when pump is running to ensure valve is operational. Page 328 of 821 August 2016 3-3 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 14th Street SPS O&M Manual Annually 1. Inspect and replace disc if necessary. 2. Check valve seat and bearing surfaces and replace packing boxes if necessary. 3. Check bolt tightness and hinge pin for wear, replace if necessary. 4. Touchup paint where necessary. 5. No lubrication required unless valve is disassembled. 3.3.4 Level and Pressure Control Equipment 3.3.4.1 Level Control Equipment The level control equipment/control panel is designed to control the pump motors in response to the level of the wet well. The main level sensing equipment consists of two ultrasonic level detection/measuring equipment. The ultrasonic level sensors are Siemens Hydroranger 200. The manual of the Siemens Hydroranger 200 is attached in Appendix AppG01. The ultrasonic level measuring system is composed of an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver placed on top of the wet well and control panel. The depth is measured by the amount of time the sound is emitted then received. The two Siemens Hydroranger 200 are arranged such that one is the lead the other as back-up. The Hydroranger has four relay outputs and one analog output. Relay one is to call the lead pump and relay 2 is to call the lag pump. Relay 3 is not used. Relay 4 is for “ECHO LOSS” meaning failure. Relay 1 is set to start and stop the lead pump at programed levels. If for some reason the level still continue to rise at a certain level, relay 2 is set to start and stop the lag pump. In addition the level sensors are programmed such that the lead and lag pumps alternate at each cycle. Upon failure of the lead level sensor the backup will take over. The existing program and setting of the sensors is shown in Appendix AppG02. The analog outputs of the level sensors are fed to an Allen Bradley MicroPLC Model 1100 and the outputs are fed to two VFDs. In addition the programmable logic controller (PLC) monitors the condition of the lead level sensor. The operation and maintenance manual of the PLC is attached in Appendix AppG03. In addition to the ultrasonic level sensors, two float switches are installed to indicate very low level and very high level of the wet well. The float switches contacts are fed into an intrinsically safe relays and the output of the intrinsically safe relays are fed into the control system. These float switches serves as alarm points. The intrinsically safe relays are Safepak® by Gems Sensor and controls. The operation and maintenance manual of the Safepak is shown in Appendix AppG11. Additional controls: The SPS has a three phase power failure monitor. The power failure monitor detects under voltage and phase loss. A good power output (normally close) is use to activate a power failure relay. In normal power this relay is energized thus a loss of power or of any phase, this relay will de-energize. The manual of the power fail monitor is shown on Appendix AppG12. In the event of this system abnormality, control power to the controller will be disconnected and pump motors cannot operate. In addition, an alarm light will light up indicating loss of power or loss of any phase. Page 329 of 821 August 2016 3-4 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 14th Street SPS O&M Manual Since the pump motor and pump for this location are submersible, there is a seal fail detector. The detector checks if moisture has infiltrated the motor which is primarily caused by the failure of the seal between the pump and motor. The seal fail detector has no trademark but a picture is show under pictures. The seal fail will stop any pumping in addition to low level detected by the low level float switch. Summary of inputs and outputs Inputs: 1. High Level Float 2. Low Level Float Outputs: 1. VFD1 Call 2. VFD2 Call 3. P1 Low Level 4. P2 Low level 5. P1 Hi Speed 6. P2 High Speed 7. High Level Alarm Operation and Maintenance Ultrasonic Level Sensor Daily 1. Observe ultrasonic leveler readings while pumps are operational. 2. Confirm level readings are within range. Monthly 1. Adjust level settings if necessary Annually 1. On ultrasonic transducer, update software if necessary. Float Switches Daily 1. Inspect to ensure no debris hinder float movement. Monthly 1. Test if float switches sends alarms. Annually Page 330 of 821 August 2016 3-5 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 14th Street SPS O&M Manual 1. Empty and fill wet well level to trigger alarms. Test to confirm floats are set at the correct level and are operational 3.3.4.2 Pressure Control Equipment There does not appear to be pressure switches on the discharge line of the pumps at this station. The purpose of the pressure switch is to disengage the pumps if the check valve doesn’t open or there is a valve closed in the line. The pressure switch is generally set 5 psi higher than the highest pressure in the VFD envelope. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Inspect pressure gage while pumps are running to determine if pressure gage is working. 3.3.5 Pumping System The 14th Street SPS has two submersible non-clog pumps. Based on the as-built design drawings, the pumps are Yeomans Model 4103S. This model is part of the Yeomans 9100 series of pumps. Pump information is provided in Appendices AppF12 and AppF13. The catalog information is presented below. Pump Yeomans 4103S, non-clog submersible, 3-inch max sphere size Design 425 gpm @ 35 feet TDH (from specifications) HP 7.5 Motor 3-phase, 60 Hz, 1750 rpm, 230V, Class F insulation, oil-filled, NEMA B,180 frame, Seal Mechanical seal – John Crane Type 21 BF1C1 Pump Weight 465 lbs Discharge pipe 4-inch The staff has not performed any repairs on these pumps since the pump station upgrade in 2007. If complex pump repair is necessary, Barrett Engineered Pumps is the manufacturer’s representative in San Diego and is knowledgeable about the pump and can performs pump repair. Barrett Engineered Pumps may be reached at (619) 232-7867 and at barrett@barrettpump.com. Operation and Maintenance Monthly 1. Test moisture sensor circuit Annually 1. Pull pump and inspect for and leakage. Replace packing/stuffing box if necessary. 2. Check motor leads for frayed chords. Replace if necessary. 3. Touch up paint if necessary Page 331 of 821 August 2016 3-6 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 14th Street SPS O&M Manual 3.3.6 Pump Control Panel/Variable Frequency Drives The pump control panel consists mainly of a VFD and motor starter. The pump motors are intended to run on VFD but can be switch to motor starter (BY-PASS) via selector switch. The operation of the pump motor controller is dictated by the level control equipment/control panel. The Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) used at both sites are Mitsubishi Model F700 VFD’s. The manual of the VFD can be found in Appendix AppG04. To keep track of the operating hours of the pump/pump motor, a elapse timer is used. The manual of the elapse time is shown in Appendix AppG16. The updated control diagram of the controller is shown in Appendix AppA05. The control diagram provided by the City shown in Appendix AppA02 is incomplete. The inputs to the pump control panel are: 1. Low Level – stop pumping operation 2. VFD Call – Start and Stop pumping 3. High Speed – causes the VFD to run a preset speed. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Record each pump operational hours. 2. Operate pumps separately as duty/standby to see if both are operational. 3. Check if alternative pump setting is on. 4. Check if any circuit breakers were tripped. Determine cause and repair. Monthly 1. For VFDs - Test audio and visual alarms for PS failure 3.4 Safety Procedures and Precautions Any time pumps, isolation valves, check valves, or any control panels require work, the appropriate circuit breakers should be disengaged. A lock-out/tag or other lock-out device should be attached to the circuit breaker to alert staff. The tag should remain on the circuit breaker or until all repairs have been completed and pumping station returned to service. The lock-out/tag notification serves to inform all staff that the pump station is non-operational. A sewer by-pass may be required if the repair time is lengthy. The lock-out/tag for any type of valve repair/maintenance may seem unwarranted, but it will serve to prevent any spills if the pumps are activated for any reason. Any work on live electrical equipment shall be conducted in accordance with National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 70E standards.

It is defined as a space that 1. Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; 2. Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and 3. Is not designed for continuous human occupancy. A permitted confined space means a confined space that either 1. Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere, 2. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant, 3. Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section; or 4. Contains any other serious safety or health hazard. All confined spaces should have posted placards identifying the confined space and if it is a permitted confined space. The placards should be placed outside of the designated space. As defined by OSHA, the wet wells are considered permitted confined space. All entrants into the wet well should be trained in permitted confined space entry. Confined space training may be obtained from OSHA through their website: http://www.oshatraining.com/Online-Confined-Spaces-in-Construction-Training-Course.php 6.2 Operator Training The wastewater pump station operators should have training in gravity sewer and sewer pump station operation and maintenance.

Page 372 of 821 August 2016 3-1 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 Bay Marina Drive SPS O&M Manual 3 SECTION 3 PUMP ROOM AND MOTOR/CONTROL ROOM This section describes equipment, with a discussion of operation and maintenance procedures. 3.1 Introduction and Summary The site visits conducted at the Bay Marina Drive SPS on December 7, 2015 confirmed the pump station layouts, the mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, instrumentation, and pump controls. 3.2 Pump Station Site The pump station site should be kept in a neat and orderly appearance. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Lights working? 2. Noticeable sewage odor? 3. Inspect pump station for any vandalism or damage Monthly 1. Clean up any trash or debris found on the site. Annually 1. Building interior/exterior needs painting? 2. Existing walls/fences need repair? 3. Reroofing required? 3.3 Components, Operations and Controls 3.3.1 Wet Well The Bay Marina SPS has circular two wet wells connected with a 12-inch ductile iron pipe (DIP) at the inverts. The smaller wet well is 6-feet diameter and the larger wet well is 8-feet diameter. The wet wells do not appear to be lined. The smaller wet well was not replaced in 2007 and is discolored and shows some pitting of the concrete. The galvanized ladder shows signs corrosion pitting and does not extend to the top of the wet well access. The larger wet well appears to be in better condition with discoloration on the wet well walls. The stainless steel brackets holding the ultrasonic transducers and the pump rails appear to be in good condition. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Check wet well level. Corresponds to the depth of the ultrasonic? Page 373 of 821 August 2016 3-2 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 Bay Marina Drive SPS O&M Manual Monthly 1. Remove oil and grease from wet well walls. 2. Remove any grit deposits and rags that may accumulate at the bottom of the wet well. This may require drawing down the wet well and vacuuming it out. The periodic removal of rags may reduce the frequency of removing them from the pump impeller. Annually: 1. Inspect wet well any signs for concrete pitting and rebar exposure. At the first signs of concrete deterioration, implement plans to repair damage. 2. Inspect all brackets, ladders and pump rails should be inspected for corrosion or damage. Repair as necessary. 3. Do hatches open and close smoothly? Repair if necessary. 3.3.2 Isolation Valves The Bay Marina Drive SPS uses Dezurik plug valves to isolate equipment throughout the SPS. Catalog cuts are included in Appendices AppF07 to AppF09. The valves appear to be in good condition and are operated with conventional right-hand-rule of closing when the operator is turned in the clockwise direction. All valves are equipped with handwheel or lever operators. Valves should be operated slowly to minimize the water hammer (surge) effect in the pipeline and other equipment. Operation and Maintenance Annually 1. Valves should be exercised to ensure that they will open/close when required. 2. Check valve seat for wear and replace if necessary. 3. Check valve for leakage. Replace packing if necessary. 4. Touch-up paint where necessary. 5. No lubrication is necessary unless the valve is disassembled. 3.3.3 Flow Control Valves The Bay Marina Drive SPS uses swing check valves with outside lever and spring. The Bay Marina Drive SPS check valves are manufactured by Milikin. Catalog cuts are included in Appendices AppF03 to AppF06. The check valves are located downstream of the pumps and prevent flow from entering the wet well via the pumps. The valves open automatically when the pumps run and close slowly based on the weight/spring on the lever arm. The speed in which the valves close can be adjusted by the placement of the weight/spring on the lever arm. As with all valves, the valve closing speed should be slow to avoid water hammer occurrences. Valve wear usually occurs primarily to the clapper hinge-and-shaft assemblies and should be checked for looseness. Valves should be chatter-free, not leaking, and seating properly. Page 374 of 821 August 2016 3-3 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 Bay Marina Drive SPS O&M Manual Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Observe check valve when pump is running to ensure valve is operational. Annually 1. Inspect and replace disc if necessary. 2. Check valve seat and bearing surfaces and replace packing boxes if necessary. 3. Check bolt tightness and hinge pin for wear, replace if necessary. 4. Touchup paint where necessary. 5. No lubrication required unless valve is disassembled. 3.3.4 Level and Pressure Control Equipment 3.3.4.1 Level Control Equipment The level control equipment/control panel is designed to control the pump motors in response to the level of the wet well. The main level sensing equipment consists of two ultrasonic level detection/measuring equipment. The ultrasonic level sensors are Siemens Hydroranger 200. The manual of the Siemens Hydroranger 200 is attached in Appendix AppG01. The ultrasonic level measuring system is composed of an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver placed on top of the wet well and control panel. The depth is measured by the amount of time the sound is emitted then received. The two Siemens Hydroranger 200 are arranged such that one is the lead the other as back-up. The Hydroranger has four relay outputs and one analog output. Relay one is to call the lead pump and relay 2 is to call the lag pump. Relay 3 is not used. Relay 4 is for “ECHO LOSS” meaning failure. Relay 1 is set to start and stop the lead pump at programed levels. If for some reason the level still continue to rise at a certain level, relay 2 is set to start and stop the lag pump. In addition the level sensors are programmed such that the lead and lag pumps alternate at each cycle. Upon failure of the lead level sensor the backup will take over. The existing program and setting of the sensors is shown in Appendix AppG02. The analog outputs of the level sensors are fed to an Allen Bradley MicroPLC Model 1100 and the outputs are fed to two VFDs. In addition the programmable logic controller (PLC) monitors the condition of the lead level sensor. The operation and maintenance manual of the PLC is attached in Appendix AppG03. In addition to the ultrasonic level sensors, two float switches are installed to indicate very low level and very high level of the wet well. The float switches contacts are fed into an intrinsically safe relays and the output of the intrinsically safe relays are fed into the control system. These float switches serves as alarm points. The intrinsically safe relays are Safepak® by Gems Sensor and controls. The operation and maintenance manual of the Safepak is shown in Appendix AppG11. Additional controls: The SPS has a three phase power failure monitor. The power failure monitor detects under voltage and phase loss. A good power output (normally close) is use to activate a power failure Page 375 of 821 August 2016 3-4 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 Bay Marina Drive SPS O&M Manual relay. In normal power this relay is energized thus a loss of power or of any phase, this relay will de-energize. The manual of the power fail monitor is shown on Appendix AppG12. In the event of this system abnormality, control power to the controller will be disconnected and pump motors cannot operate. In addition, an alarm light will light up indicating loss of power or loss of any phase. The flow is detected by the operation of a check valve in the discharge. A limit switch is incorporated to detect operation of the flow switch. The contact is wired to a time delay relay. If after a period of time the check valve fails to open pump motor will stop in addition to low level detected by the low level float switch. Summary of inputs and outputs Inputs: 1. High Level Float 2. Low Level Float Outputs: 1. VFD1 Call 2. VFD2 Call 3. P1 Low Level 4. P2 Low level 5. P1 Hi Speed 6. P2 High Speed 7. High Level Alarm Operation and Maintenance Ultrasonic Level Sensor Daily 1. Observe ultrasonic leveler readings while pumps are operational. 2. Confirm level readings are within range. Monthly 1. Adjust level settings if necessary Annually 1. On ultrasonic transducer, update software if necessary. Float Switches Daily 1. Inspect to ensure no debris hinder float movement. Page 376 of 821 August 2016 3-5 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 Bay Marina Drive SPS O&M Manual Monthly 1. Test if float switches sends alarms. Annually 1. Empty and fill wet well level to trigger alarms. Test to confirm floats are set at the correct level and are operational 3.3.4.2 Pressure Control Equipment There does not appear to be pressure switches on the discharge line of the pumps at this SPS. The purpose of the pressure switch is to disengage the pumps if the check valve doesn’t open or there is a valve closed in the line. The pressure switch is generally set 5 psi higher than the highest pressure in the VFD envelope. There are no pressure gauges on the discharge line. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Inspect pressure gage while pumps are running to determine if pressure gage is working. 3.3.5 Pumping System The pumps at the Bay Marina Drive SPS are Hydromatic self-priming sewage and trash pumps Model 60RDP. Pump and motor information is presented in Appendices AppF01 and AppF02. The pump and motor nameplate information are presented below. Pump Hydromatic, Self-Priming Sewage and Trash, Model 60RDP , Serial Number PO8329, Install date 01-06, S/N X0713 Design 600 gpm @39 ft TDH (from specifications) HP 15 Motor Baldor Super, 3 Phase, 60 Hz, 1760 rpm, 230/460V, Class F insulation, Service Factor 1.15, oil-filled motor, NEMA B, Nominal Efficiency 92.4%, 224T frame Seal Mechanical seal – John Crane Type 21 BF1C1 Impeller Diameter 12 7/8-inch Suction/Discharge Pipe 6-inch Note that although the pump nameplate indicates 230/460V, according to the wiring diagram shown in Appendix AppA04, the power is 230V. The staff routinely disassembles impeller casing to remove rags. For more complex pump repair, Barrett Engineered Pumps is the manufacturer’s representative in San Diego and is knowledgeable about the pump and can perform pump repair. Barrett Engineered Pumps may be reached at (619) 232-7867 and at barrett@barrettpump.com. Page 377 of 821 August 2016 3-6 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 Bay Marina Drive SPS O&M Manual Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Listen for any abnormal pumping sounds. 2. Is there excessive vibration? Monthly 1. Monthly test moisture sensor circuit. 2. Check for any leakage. Replace mechanical sealsl, packing, or gaskets as necessary. 3. Check amperage on each pump motor. Annually 1. Lubricate bearings as necessary. 2. Inspect and replace impeller if needed. 3. Touch-up paint where necessary. 3.3.6 Pump Control Panel/Variable Frequency Drives The pump control panel consists mainly of a VFD and motor starter. The pump motors are intended to run on VFD but can be switch to motor starter (BY-PASS) via selector switch. The operation of the pump motor controller is dictated by the level control equipment/control panel. The Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) used at both sites are Mitsubishi Model F700 VFD’s. The manual of the VFD can be found in Appendix AppG04. To keep track of the operating hours of the pump/pump motor, a elapse timer is used. The manual of the elapse time is shown in Appendix AppG16. The updated control diagram of the controller is shown in Appendix AppA05. The control diagram provided by the City shown in Appendix AppA02 is incomplete. The inputs to the pump control panel are: 1. Low Level – stop pumping operation 2. VFD Call – Start and Stop pumping 3. High Speed – causes the VFD to run a preset speed. Operation and Maintenance Daily 1. Record each pump operational hours. 2. Operate pumps separately as duty/standby to see if both are operational. 3. Check if alternative pump setting is on. 4. Check if any circuit breakers were tripped. Determine cause and repair. Page 378 of 821 August 2016 3-7 City of National City H&A: 140.192.02 Bay Marina Drive SPS O&M Manual Monthly 1. For VFDs - Test audio and visual alarms for PS failure 3.4 Safety Procedures and Precautions Any time pumps, isolation valves, check valves, or any control panels require work, the appropriate circuit breakers should be disengaged. A lock-out/tag or other lock-out device should be attached to the circuit breaker to alert staff. The tag should remain on the circuit breaker or until all repairs have been completed and pumping station returned to service. The lock-out/tag notification serves to inform all staff that the pump station is non-operational. A sewer by-pass may be required if the repair time is lengthy. The lock-out/tag for any type of valve repair/maintenance may seem unwarranted, but it will serve to prevent any spills if the pumps are activated for any reason. Any work on live electrical equipment shall be conducted in accordance with National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 70E standards.

It is defined as a space that 1. Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; 2. Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and 3. Is not designed for continuous human occupancy. A permitted confined space means a confined space that either 1. Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere, 2. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant, 3. Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section; or 4. Contains any other serious safety or health hazard. All confined spaces should have posted placards identifying the confined space and if it is a permitted confined space. The placards should be placed outside of the designated space. As defined by OSHA, the wet wells are considered permitted confined space. All entrants into the wet well should be trained in permitted confined space entry. Confined space training may be obtained from OSHA through their website: http://www.oshatraining.com/Online-Confined-Spaces-in-Construction-Training-Course.php 6.2 Operator Training The wastewater pump station operators should have training in gravity sewer and sewer pump station operation and maintenance.

This SERP is written in accordance with the following regulations: • State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems (General Order) • Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Order R9 -2007-0005, Waste Discharge Requirements for Sewage Collection Agencies in the San Diego Region The City takes all feasible steps to prevent spills from its collection system. However, if a spill does occur the City makes every effort to contain the spill and mitigate the impacts of it. The City strives to prevent any wastewater from ultimately discharging to a receiving water body. This SERP provides City staff with the necessary direction and guidance to ensure a prompt and effective spill response in a timely manner that minimizes water quality impacts and nuisance by: • Immediately stopping the spill and preventing/minimizing a discharge to waters of the State; • Intercepting sewage flows to prevent/minimize spill volume discharged into waters of the State; • Thoroughly recovering, cleaning up and disposing of sewage and wash down water; and • Cleaning publicly accessible areas while preventing toxic discharges to waters of the State. SECTION 2: BACKGROUND The General Order defines a spill to include a discharge of sewage from any portion of a sanitary sewer system due to a sanitary sewer system overflow, operational failure, and/or infrastructure failure. Exfiltration of sewage is not considered to be a spill under the General Order if the exfiltrated sewage remains in the subsurface and does not reach a surface water of the State. The General Order and RWQCB Order R9-2007-0005 define spill categories as follows: Page 413 of 821 2 SPILL CATEGORIES CATEGORY 1 A Category 1 spill is a spill of any volume of sewage from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that results in a discharge to: • A surface water, including a surface water body that contains no flow or volume of water; or • A drainage conveyance system that discharges to surface waters when the sewage is not fully captured and returned to the sanitary sewer system or disposed of properly. Any spill volume not recovered from a drainage conveyance system is considered a discharge to surface water, unless the drainage conveyance system discharges to a dedicated stormwater infiltration basin or facility. A spill from an Enrollee-owned and/or operated lateral that discharges to a surface water is a Category 1 spill. CATEGORY 2 A Category 2 spill is a spill of 1,000 gallons or greater, from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface water. A spill of 1,000 gallons or greater that spills out of a lateral and is caused by a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system, is a Category 2 spill. CATEGORY 3 A Category 3 spill is a spill of equal to or greater than 50 gallons and less than 1,000 gallons, from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface water. A spill of equal to or greater than 50 gallons and less than 1,000 gallons, that spills out of a lateral and is caused by a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system is a Category 3 spill. CATEGORY 4 A Category 4 spill is a spill of less than 50 gallons, from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface water. A spill of less than 50 gallons that spills out of a lateral and is caused by a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system is a Category 4 spill. Private Lateral Sewage Discharge (PLSDs) Discharges of untreated or partially treated wastewater resulting from blockages or other problems within a privately owned sewer lateral connected to the enrollee’s sanitary sewer system or from other private sewer assets. All Spills (Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4, and PLSDs) are reported to the SWRCB using the online California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS). However, regulatory notification and reporting requirements vary based on the type of spill. See Section 4 “spill Notification and Reporting Procedures” for more details. Page 414 of 821 3 SECTION 3: SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES This section includes the following procedures as required by the General Order, to: • Notify primary responders, appropriate local officials, and appropriate regulatory agencies of a spill in a timely manner; • Notify other potentially affected entities (for example, health agencies, water suppliers, etc.) of spills that potentially affect public health or reach waters of the State; • Comply with the notification, monitoring and reporting requirements of the General Order, State law and regulations, and applicable Regional Water Board Orders; • Ensure that appropriate staff and contractors implement the Spill Emergency Response Plan and are appropriately trained • Address emergency system operations, traffic control and other necessary response activities; • Contain a spill and prevent/minimize discharge to waters of the State or any drainage conveyance system; • Minimize and remediate public health impacts and adverse impacts on beneficial uses of waters of the State; • Remove sewage from the drainage conveyance system; • Clean the spill area and drainage conveyance system in a manner that does not inadvertently impact beneficial uses in the receiving waters; • Implement technologies, practices, equipment, and interagency coordination to expedite spill containment and recovery; • Implement pre-planned coordination and collaboration with storm drain agencies and other utility agencies/departments prior, during, and after a spill event; • Conduct post-spill assessments of spill response activities; • Document and report spill events as required in this General Order; and • Annually, review and assess effectiveness of the Spill Emergency Response Plan, and update the Plan as needed. Residents or City staff may report a spill to Public Works. A Work Request is generated in CityWorks based on the report by administrative staff or the spill response crew (if after hours). All calls or emails to Public Works that indicate a potential sewer discharge or potential storm water discharge are immediately called in to the Public Works Crew Supervisor and wastewater crew. Additionally, email communication of reported discharge issues is sent to all applicable Public Works staff. These procedures prevent any potential delays in initial spill response. Contact information for applicable personnel is listed below. It should also be noted that the City recently merged the Public Works and Engineering Departments. Therefore, all references are to the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works in this SERP. • ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS Martha Juarez; mjuarez@nationalcityca.gov OFFICE (619) 336-4380 DESK (619) 336-4312 • STREET MAINTENANCE AND WASTEWATER SUPERINTENDENT Arturo Gonzalez OFFICE (619) 336-4586 CELL (619) 538-1299 Page 415 of 821 4 • PUBLIC WORKS CREW SUPERVISOR Faavaeilealofa Fiatoa Jr. (619) 327-6797 • OPERATIONS MANAGER Tirza Gonzales (619) 336-4380 publicworks@nationalcityca.gov • POLICE DEPARTMENT DISPATCHER (619) 336-4411 SEWER PAGER (619) 896-2671 STREET PAGER (619) 896-2766 An overview of the City’s spill response protocol is provided as Attachment 1. It is the responsibility of sewer staff to follow these standard response procedures: A. GENERAL 1. Assess the situation upon arrival and confirm that a spill has occurred. Contact the reporting party indicated on the Work Request if necessary for more information. 2. Follow the City’s Spill Response Flowchart (Attachment 1) 3. Estimate the Spill flow rate and volume using the City’s Methods for Estimating Spill Volume (Attachment 2) 4. Notify the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works of all confirmed spills, both public spills and PLSDs, while onsite. 5. Take immediate steps to contain, mitigate, and cleanup the spill using standard procedures and best practices. See sections below for procedural details. 6. Complete the City’s Spill Reporting Form (Attachment 3) 7. Follow the City’s Spill Reporting Flowchart (Attachment 4), which may require notification of other agencies. Regulatory Agency and Adjacent Jurisdiction Contact Information is included in Attachment 5. Should online reporting channels be disabled for any reason, reports may be submitted to the RWQCB using a fax reporting form (Attachment 6). B. SPILL CONTAINMENT The primary objective of the spill response is to protect public health and safety and the environment. Every effort must be made to contain the spill and prevent wastewater from contaminating storm drains, drainage channels, or surface waters. This requires staff to complete the following measures during spill containment. These tasks are accomplished through a division of labor and many occur simultaneously. 1. Assess the cause and extent of spill upon arrival. 2. If applicable, evacuate anyone in the path of the flow. 3. Determine the immediate destination of the overflow (e.g. building, street, unpaved surface, storm drain, water body). 4. If suspicious substances or odors are present and may be hazardous, staff should call the Fire Department (Dial 911). Staff should await the direction of the Fire Department before continuing the spill response if containment cannot be continued without harmful exposure or contact. Page 416 of 821 5 5. Immediately contain the flow: • Use sand bags and other accessible BMPs to stop the flow and protect storm drains. • Direct the overflow to a low point if possible. • Recover the ponded material using the Vactor truck. Additional details on spill cleanup are in Section E. 6. Determine if the spill is public (caused by a failure in the City’s line) or private (caused by conditions in a privately owned lateral). Refer to Section C “spill Cause” for details. 7. Identify and request any additional City staff, contractors, or equipment necessary to stop the flow and contain it. Organize and put into action upon arrival. 8. Control perimeter of overflow site with appropriate barricades, cones, or vehicles to restrict access. 9. Establish traffic control around the spill area and work zone. Contact the National City Police Department for assistance if the spill is in a high traffic area. • Dispatcher (619) 336-4411 • Sewer Pager (619) 896-2671 • Street Pager (619) 896-2766 10. Estimate spill volume (see Attachment 2 “Methods for Estimating Spill Volume”) to include on Spill Reporting Form (Attachment 3). See Section F “Spill Documentation” for details. 11. Take pictures to document the spill. See Section F “Spill Documentation” for details. C. SPILL CAUSE Spills may be caused by problems in the City’s line (public) or by conditions in a privately owned lateral (private). Public Spills result from sewer main blockages or sewer main pipe failures. They may also be caused by pump station failures. Private Spills result from private lateral blockages or private lateral pipe failures or grease control device overflows. The City is entirely responsible for the containment and recovery of Spills caused by issues with public sewer mains or pump stations. The City responds to and notifies the appropriate regulatory agencies of PLSDs (see Section 4), but it is the responsibility of the property owner to mitigate or repair any damages from a private spill. The City will contain the spill if it reaches the public right-of-way and contact a plumbing company if the property owner or manager cannot be reached. The owner will be billed for the cost of the plumber and the City’s operational costs in spill containment. D. CORRECTION OF SPILL CAUSE Corrections of spills that result from issues with a public mainline, private lateral, force main leak, or pump station are discussed below. Proper spill containment (as previously described in Section B) applies to all spills. PUBLIC MAINLINE • Inspect the flow conditions in the upstream and downstream manholes to determine the location of the blockage. • Relieve blockage by flushing and rodding. Page 417 of 821 6 • Divert pipe flows as necessary to allow for inspection by closed circuit television (CCTV). • Bypass the affected manholes for prolonged blockages or pipe collapses. Bypassing can be done by high lining or by the use of temporary pipeline around the affected area to transport water to a parallel main. • Complete proper spill cleanup (Section E) and spill documentation (Section F). PRIVATE LATERAL • Notify property owner or manager of a spill caused by the private lateral. Inform them that they are responsible for corrective actions and must call a licensed contractor immediately. • If the property owner or manager cannot be reached, the City will contain the spill and attempt to relieve the stoppage following this SERP and then contact a plumbing company if necessary. The owner will be billed for the cost of the plumber and the City’s operational costs in spill containment and correction. • Complete proper spill documentation (Section F). FORCE MAIN LEAK • When a force main leak causes a spill, it will be bypassed while emergency repairs are made to the pipeline. Bypassing can be done by high lining or by the use of temporary pipeline around the affected area to transport water to a parallel main. • Repairs may be done by City staff or by a private contractor depending on the damage to the pipeline, location of leak, volume of overflow and the depth of the pipe. • Complete proper spill cleanup (Section E) and spill documentation (Section F). PUMP STATION FAILURE • Each pump station is fitted with an alarm system that alerts the National City dispatchers in the event of: o Power failure, o High water level in the wet well, and/or o Low water level in the wet well, o Pump failure, o Either of the pumps not operational. • City staff or after hours stand-by crews will respond immediately after notification is received. The Public Works staff member or the designated backup will proceed to the lift station to assess the situation and resolve the problem. • If the First Responder requires assistance, he/she will request the appropriate personnel for assistance. • In the event an emergency bypass procedure is required to prevent a potential spill occurrence at a lift station, City staff will implement the bypass procedure developed specifically for the lift station and described in the City’s Emergency Response Plan specific to the City’s Lift Stations. Page 418 of 821 7 • If a spill occurred, complete proper spill cleanup (Section E) and spill documentation (Section F). In the event of a power failure, all sewer staff will report to Public Works for assigned tasks. There are two (2) pump stations on the west side within the City’s sewerage system. The northern station is located at 14th Street and Tidelands Avenue. The southern station is located at 24th Street (Bay Marina Drive) and Tidelands Avenue. Pump stations will be regularly inspected to note the level of wastewater within the wet wells. (It should be noted that the wells have sufficient storage capacity for several days without power.) Additionally, manholes at sea level or below that could fill during a power outage will be periodically checked. If pumping is necessary, the City maintains a generator at the Public Works yard that can be transported to the stations, along with pumping connections. Note that detailed Operation and Maintenance manuals were prepared for both pump stations in August 2016, and an Emergency Response Plan specific to the City’s Lift Stations was prepared in December 2023. E. SPILL CLEANUP Spill sites are thoroughly cleaned as soon as possible. It is important that no residue remain from the spill that could be transported by future rains or could result in human contact. Site restoration is accomplished through the following steps: 1. If spill containment led to spill ponding, vacuum the ponded wastewater and return it to the wastewater system. 2. Wash down all spill areas. Recover the wash water and return it to the wastewater system. 3. Flush, rake, or pick up solids and debris with the Vactor truck and haul away for proper disposal. 4. Disinfect the spill site with disinfectant. Recover the wash water and return it to the wastewater system. 5. Take pictures to document the restoration efforts. F. SPILL DOCUMENTATION Applicable records shall be maintained by the City for a minimum of five (5) years and shall be made available for review by the Water Boards during an onsite inspection or through an information request. These include work request forms, spill reporting forms, and any other compliance documentation. Work Request A Work Request is generated in CityWorks when a spill is reported to Public Works. A description of the problem and the actions taken by Public Works is completed following the Public Works response. This ensures that sewer incidents are appropriately categorized and directs spill documentation and reporting as necessary. If a sanitary sewer leak, spill or overflow occurred, staff confirm that the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works has been notified and are instructed to complete the Spill Reporting Form. Work Requests are kept on file at the City for at least five (5) years. Spill Reporting Form Page 419 of 821 8 The Spill Reporting Form (Attachment 3) follows the outline of incident information as presented in the CIWQS online reporting form. It is organized into sections for background information, spill location, initial observations, spill details, spill response, and notification. Page one is generally complete by the Spill Response field crew, while the second page is completed by supervisory staff and the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works. This organization ensures that all information required by CIWQS is recorded in a way that facilitates data entry. Applicable sections of the spill Reporting Form are completed onsite, including an estimate of the spill volume (see Attachment 2 “Methods for Estimating Spill Volume”). spill reporting forms are submitted to the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works immediately following a spill. The reporting form is reviewed and finalized by the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works. Spill Reporting Forms are kept on file at the City for at least five (5) years. Photographs Photos shall be taken of spills during spill containment procedures and following spill cleanup. Photos are archived by the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works. California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) Details on the requirements for spill entry into CIWQS is provided in Section 4 “Spill Notification and Reporting Procedures”. It should be noted that if CIWQS becomes unavailable for any reason, reporting timelines must still be met and information should be faxed or emailed to the San Diego RWQCB. Attachment 6 (RWQCB Fax Reporting Form) may be used. The City would then enter the data into CIWQS as soon as possible. G. POSTING When public health may be at risk, it becomes necessary to post signs warning of contamination in appropriate locations. The San Diego County Department of Environmental Health and Quality (SDCDEHQ) will direct the closure of beach areas and the posting of warning signs. The City will provide assistance to the SDCDEHQ as requested and the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works will keep in contact with the SDCDEHQ until warning signs are removed. The Spill Reporting Form (Attachment 3) includes a question to address posting of health warnings. H. WATER QUALITY MONITORING As identified on the City’s Spill Response Flowchart (Attachment 1) and on the Spill Reporting Form (Attachment 3) and Flowchart (Attachment 4), sewage spills in which an estimated 50,000 gallons or greater are discharged into a surface water, the Enrollee shall conduct the following water quality sampling no later than 18 hours after the City’s knowledge of a potential discharge to a surface water: • Collect one water sample, each day of the duration of the spill, at: o A point in a drainage conveyance system before the drainage conveyance system flow discharges into a receiving water, if sewage discharges to a surface water via a drainage conveyance system; and/or o Each of the three receiving water sampling locations: • A point in the receiving water where sewage initially enters the receiving water. Page 420 of 821 9 • A point in the receiving water, upstream of the point of sewage discharge, to capture ambient conditions absent of sewage discharge impacts. • A point in the receiving water, downstream of the point of sewage discharge, where the spill material is fully mixed with the receiving water. • If the receiving water has no flow during the duration of the spill, the City must report “No Sampling Due To No Flow” for its receiving water sampling locations. D-MAX Engineering, Inc. sampling staff are available on-call to respond to spills when requested by the City, in accordance with the procedures on the response flowchart and reporting form. For spills that reach surface waters, monitoring and testing activities will include the following steps: 1. Trained staff will gather representative samples upstream and downstream of any location where spill reached a receiving water body, as well as at the location where the spill entered the water. Sampling will consider spill travel time in the surface water and areas where monitoring may not be possible. 2. Trained staff will collect all samples using proper sampling procedures. This includes documentation of proper maintenance and calibration of monitoring instruments and devices. 3. Log the sample location, time, and water temperature on the chain of custody form. 4. An accredited or certified laboratory will analyze the samples for selected constituents, which may include: • Ammonia; • Bacterial Indicators (Total and Fecal Coliform, Enterococcus, and E. coli); • Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD); • Dissolved Oxygen (DO); and • Total Suspended Solids (TSS) 5. Conduct additional sampling requirements as imposed by the SDCDEH and/or the RWQCB. Water quality results are required to be uploaded into CIWQS for Category 1 spills in which 50,000 gallons or greater are spilled to surface waters. Water sampling results may be sent to the SDCDEH and the San Diego RWQCB as well as to other regulatory agencies as directed. Page 421 of 821 10 SECTION 4: SPILL NOTIFICATION AND REPORTING PROCEDURES The City has a responsibility to report and monitor all spills in accordance with the regulatory requirements. The chain of communication for reporting spills is generally summarized below. All spills (Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4, and PLSDs) are reported to the SWRCB using the online CIWQS. However, regulatory notification and reporting requirements vary based on the type of spill. Additional details are provided in the response and reporting flowcharts in Attachments 1 and 4. 1. Reports of spills are received by the Public Works front desk. A work order is generated using CityWorks and appropriate sewer personnel are dispatched to the site. 2. Sewer staff respond to the spill. Staff notify the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works of all confirmed spills, both public spills and PLSDs, while onsite. 3. The sewer crew lead records spill-related information (e.g. spill volume, GPS coordinates, photographs) while onsite and completes the Spill Reporting Form (Attachment 3). 4. The Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works reports the spill per methods and timelines outlined on the Spill Reporting Flowchart (Attachment 4) and reviews the spill Reporting Form. 5. Regulatory reporting requirements based on the type of discharge are outlined below, as presented in the Spill Reporting Flowchart (Attachment 4). Page 422 of 821 11 SPILL NOTIFICATION, MONITORING, AND REPORTING PROCEDURES The following outlines the City’s spill notification, monitoring, and reporting requirements.

SECTION 5: TRAINING The City recognizes the importance of consistent staff training and documentation of training sessions. The City’s wastewater staff is trained on emergency response plan procedures, safety policies, and equipment. The Sewer Crew Chief is responsible for documenting the details of each training event including dates, content, and participating employees. A sample training template is provided as Attachment 7. Training components include the following: Page 426 of 821 15 • New wastewater hires or staff transferred from another group in Public Works will be trained on the City’s SERP. A quick reference guide on how to use the SERP is included as Attachment 8. • All wastewater and standby staff review the City’s SERP at least semiannually and as necessary following a spill event. • Training on the SERP includes at least one scenario-based spill emergency response simulation to ensure staff are properly trained and prepared in the event of a spill. This training includes practical exercises in estimating spill start times and calculating spill volume spill and recovered (see Attachment 2). • Annual training to assess after hours procedure and spill response. • Initial and recurrent training on the SERP is provided as necessary to outside contractors. This includes spill response training during pre-construction meetings on all projects that may impact the sewer system as well as routine spill response training of Construction Managers. • Following each spill event, the City of National City Spill Review Committee composed of the Assistant Director of Engineering & Public Works , Sewer Crew Chief, and applicable sewer staff will meet to discuss the cause of the spill, procedural response of the sewer staff, regulatory and compliance documentation and to determine whether additional issues and/or resources need to be addressed to prevent the reoccurrence of the spill or to better respond to the spill in the future. Actions taken to prevent future spills are documented on the Spill Reporting Form (Attachment 3).

The three methods that will most likely be used by the City of National City are presented below. The method most appropriate to the sewer overflow in question should be used by the person who is making the estimate. Every effort should be made to make the best possible estimate of the spill volume. Method 1 --- Eyeball Estimate The volume of small spills can be estimated using an “eyeball estimate.” To use this method imagine the amount of water that would spill from a bucket or a barrel. A bucket contains 5 gallons and a barrel contains 50 gallons. If the spill is larger than 50 gallons, try to break the standing water into barrels and then multiply by 50 gallons. This method is useful for contained spills up to 100 gallons. Method 2 --- Measured Volume The volume of most contained spills can be estimated using this method. The shape, dimensions, and the depth of the spilled wastewater are needed. Shape and dimensions are used to calculate the area of the spill and the depth is used to calculate the volume. Step 1. Sketch the shape(rectangle, circle, triangle) of the contained sewage. Step 2. Measure or pace off the dimensions (length, width, diameter, etc). Step 3. Measure the depth at several locations and calculate an average (i.e. total of all depths measured divided by number of measurements taken). Step 4. Convert the dimensions, including depth, to feet. Step 5. Calculate the area using the following formulas: Rectangle Area = length (feet) x width (feet) Circle Area = 0.785 x diameter (feet) x diameter (feet) Triangle Area = 0.5 x base (feet) x height (feet) Step 6. Multiply the area (square feet) times the depth (in feet) to get volume (in cubic feet). Step 7. Multiply the volume (cubic feet) by 7.5 to convert it to gallons. Method 3 --- Duration and Flow Rate Some spills do not pond at the site, but instead may flow into the storm drain system and receiving waterways. For such spills, you need to establish the time duration of the spill and the flow rate. The methods of estimating duration and flow rate are: Duration: The duration is the amount of time elapsed from the time the spill started to the time the spill stopped. Start time is sometimes difficult to establish. Here are some approaches: Local residents can be used to establish start time. Inquire as to their observations. Spills that occur in rights-of-way are usually observed and reported quickly. Spills that Page 429 of 821 2 occur out of the public view can go on longer. Sometimes observations like odors or sounds (e.g. water running in a normally dry creek bed) can be used to estimate the start time. Changes in flow on a downstream flowmeter can be used to establish the start time. Typically the daily flow peaks are “cut off” or flattened by the loss of flow. This can be identified by comparing hourly flow data, when available. Conditions at the spill site change with time. Initially there will be limited deposits of grease and toilet paper. After a few days to a week, the grease forms a light colored residue. After a few weeks to a month the grease turns dark. In both cases the quantity of toilet paper and other materials of sewage origin increase in amount. These changes with time can be used to estimate the start time in the absence of other information. End time is usually much easier to establish. Field crews on-site observe the “blow down” that occurs when the blockage has been removed. The “blow down” can also be observed in downstream flowmeters. Flow Rate: The flow rate is the average flow that left the sewer system during the time of the spill. There are three ways to estimate the flow rate: San Diego Manhole Flow Rate Chart: This chart shows the sewage flowing from a manhole cover for a variety of flow rates. The observations of the field crew are used to select the approximate flow rate from the chart. Flowmeter: Changes in flows in the downstream flowmeters can be used to estimate the flow rate during the spill. Estimate based on up-stream connections: Once the location of the spill is known, the number of upstream connections can be determined from the City sewer maps. Multiply the number of connection by 200 to 250 gallons per day per connection or 8-10 gallons per hour per connection. Once duration and flow rate have been estimated, the volume of the spill is the product of the duration in hours or days times the flow rate in gallons per hour or gallons per day. That is, Volume of spill = duration (in hours or days) x flow rate (in gallons/hour or gallons/day) Additional Information The methods presented here have been adapted from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) San Francisco Bay Region requirements for reporting Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO) as shown at http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/sanfranciscobay/publications forms/documents/sso%20reporting%20requireme nts%20nov%2011%202004.pdf and the City of San Diego Sewer System Management Plan at https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/dam/sdc/dpw/WASTEWATER/SDCSD Sewer System Management Pla n 2020.pdf.

NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA 91950 PREPARED BY: Page 442 of 821 Page 443 of 821 Emergency Response Plan Lift Stations The information provided within this document is for the sole purpose of responding to potential or actual lift station failures and implementing protocols to mitigate sanitary sewer overflows. This document includes a summary of the standard operating procedures to respond to a potential or actual sewer overflow at either of the City of National City’s Lift Stations and the equipment selection for by-passing each individual or multiple lift stations. This document serves as a supplement to the City’s Sanitary Sewer Overflow Emergency Response Plan included in the Sewer System Management Plan; it is not all inclusive and must be updated on a regular basis. Training shall be conducted on an on-going basis; observations will be noted and critiqued with those participating in the training exercise. Documentation of the trainings shall be in compliance with the Sanitary Sewer Overflow Emergency Response Plan. Page 444 of 821 The City of National City (City) prepared a Sanitary Sewer Overflow Emergency Response Plan (SSOERP), which is included in the City’s Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) and serves to establish the formal procedures for City staff to contain, correct, and clean up SSOs. The SSOERP is intended to provide the City with a comprehensive document that includes components necessary for minimizing the effects of SSOs on the environment while protecting the public’s health and safety. Detailed SSO response procedures and notifications and reporting guidelines are included in the City’s SSOERP. Purpose The City of National City (City) recognizes the importance of preventing sewage spills not only to safeguard public health and safety, but to protect of our surrounding waters and the overall environment. The purpose of these procedures is to standardize the method used by Public Works staff when responding to a potential or actual sewer overflow at a City lift station. It is intended to: a) ensure all safety precautions and industry practices are consistently followed, b) ensure operation, maintenance, and data collection is accomplished in a consistent and efficient manner, and c) minimize the impact of a sewage spill to public health, worker safety, and the environment. Public Works staff is primarily responsible for responding to potential or actual SSOs. In the event of an SSO, the City’s Public Works staff must respond and be prepared to: • Contain the SSO; • Mitigate the overflow; • Clean up the contaminated area; and • Document required information for reporting purpose. This document presents the strategy for the City’s Public Works staff to mobilize labor, materials, tools, and equipment to contain, mitigate, and clean-up residuals from a sewer overflow and correct or repair any condition which may cause or contribute to a sewage discharge at either of its lift stations. Safety Nothing in these procedures supersedes, or in any other way, relaxes the City of National City’s Safety Procedures regarding Traffic Safety, Electrical Safety, Lockout/Tagout, Confined Space, Infectious Disease, or Illness and Injury Prevention. Discussion of Sanitary Sewer Overflow Emergency Response Plan The emergency response procedures included in this document reflects the strategy for the Public Works Department to mobilize labor, material, tools, and equipment in response to an actual or potential SSO and correct or repair any condition which may cause or contribute to an SSO and either of the two (2) lift stations. This document should be used in conjunction with the detailed SSO response procedures and notifications and reporting guidelines included in the City’s current SSOERP. Page 445 of 821 SSO Notification Procedures The City’s SSOERP includes procedures for proper notification of the appropriate staff in a timely manner. City Public Works staff are notified of possible or actual SSOs by the Public Works front desk personnel. A work order is generated and appropriate personnel are dispatched to the site. The On-Call staff member will respond to the notification or secure the appropriate back-up for response. SSO Response The City’s SSOERP includes response priorities, safety, and overflow containment, correction, and clean-up measures for potential or actual SSOs of various types. Specific actions to be performed by Public Works staff and additional crews are outlined and described in further detail. First Responder Responsibilities Based on the information provided during the notification of a possible or actual SSO, the Public Works staff member or the designated backup shall proceed to the lift station to assess the cause and extent of the SSO. The City staff person to arrive first at the location is considered the First Responder. The First Responder will determine whether to request additional maintenance staff or other City personnel be dispatched to the lift station if the SSO cannot be fully contained or recovered or if it has reached public waters. The information obtained during the initial notification of a possible SSO may warrant the First Responder, in his/her best professional judgment, to request that additional maintenance staff other City personnel be dispatched, or issue a request for contractor services before proceeding to the reported lift station. It is the responsibility of the First Responder to protect the health and safety of the public by mitigating the impacts of the SSO to the maximum extent possible. Areas where public contact with sewage is possible shall be isolated using barricades, signs, or other effective means. The First Responder will perform the following: • Implement processes and procedures as described in the City’s SSOERP to stop or contain the overflow, • Perform documentation as described in the City’s SSOERP, • Ensure that the provisions of this SSOERP and other directives are met. If the First Responder cannot locate the SSO or the reported problem, he or she shall attempt to obtain additional information from the incident reporter or Police Dispatch Operator to clarify reported data and to locate the problem. If the SSO or reported problem still cannot be located, the First Responder shall check the system for normal operation, advise the dispatch personnel or Police Dispatch Operator of the non-condition, remain at the location for a reasonable period of time, and prepare the final field report. SSO Documentation Documenting SSOs and their causes provides information for: • Management for performance measurement and decision-making, • Regulators to meet established reporting requirements, • Planning future maintenance and repair activities, • Engineering determinations regarding capacity, rehabilitation, or replacement, and • Reference for historical performance or claims. Page 446 of 821 The First Responder shall ensure that the SSO is properly investigated and documented. Information compiled during the investigation of the SSO shall be recorded on the Sanitary Sewer Overflow Report included in Attachment A. Copies of supporting information shall be compiled. The minimum information required from the investigation is: • Cause of SSO, • Volume of SSO including volume released and volume recovered, • Location of point of discharge, including Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates, • Ultimate destination of the SSO, • Impact and extent of impact, • Estimated start time of SSO, • Time City received notification of SSO, • Arrival time of crew(s) and time to correct the SSO, • End time of SSO, • Water body impacted and results of bacteriological monitoring, if applicable, • Actions taken to mitigate the SSO. Lift Station Alarm Notifications of Possible SSOs The City’s sewer lift stations are equipped with alarm systems. Each lift station transmits an alarm signal due to any of the following conditions: • Power failure, • High water level in the wet well, and/or • Low water level in the wet well, • Pump failure, • Either of the pumps not operational. Upon receipt of an alarm signal, City dispatch personnel contacts the on-duty Public Works staff member and will dispatch available crews. The Public Works staff member or the designated backup will proceed to the lift station to assess the situation and resolve the problem. If the First Responder requires assistance, he/she will request the appropriate personnel for assistance. In the event an emergency bypass procedure is required to prevent a potential SSO occurrence at a lift station, City staff will implement the bypass procedure developed specifically for the lift station and described in detail below. Training The City recognizes the importance of consistent staff training and documentation of training sessions. Appropriate staff participate in regularly scheduled training sessions to assist response crews in awareness of their responsibilities while executing their duties. Training sessions also include hands-on field demonstrations to ensure the preparedness of all response personnel to all anticipated situations. The training log template included in the SSOERP, and is provided in this document as Attachment B. The responding crew should be fully capable and trained in the proper function of each of these systems present. Trouble shooting these controls is specific to the unit. Consequently, the O&M manual for the level sensor system and pump controls should be consulted during a failure.

This chapter shall be known as "City of National City Fats, Oils and Grease Discharge Control Ordinance" and shall be so cited. 14.24.020 - Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to provide for the protection and maximum beneficial public use of the City’s sewer system while preventing blockages of the sewer resulting from discharges of Fats, Oils, and Grease (“FOG”) to sewer facilities, and to specify appropriate FOG discharge requirements for food service establishments (“FSEs”). 14.24.030 - Definitions. For the purposes of this chapter certain terms are defined as follows: A. “Best management practices” means schedules of activities, prohibitions, practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the introduction of FOG to the sewer facilities. B. “Discharger” means any person who discharges or causes a discharge of wastewater directly or indirectly into a public sewer. C. ”Fats, oils, and grease” (FOG) means any substance such as a vegetable or animal product that is used in, or is a by-product of, the cooking or food preparation process, and that turns or may turn viscous or solidify with a change in temperature or other conditions. D. “FOG control program” means the FOG control program required by and developed pursuant to State Water Resources Control Board Order No. 2006-0003. E. “Food grinder” means any device installed in the plumbing or sewage system for the purpose of grinding food waste or food preparation by-products prior to discharge in the sewer system. Page 478 of 821 F. “Food service establishment” (FSE) means establishments of any size operating in a permanently constructed structure, such as a room, building, or place, or portion thereof, maintained, used, or operated for the purpose of preparing, serving, manufacturing, packaging, or otherwise handling food, or for consumption by the public, its members, or employees, and which has any process or device that uses or produces FOG. A limited food preparation establishment is not considered a FSE when engaged only in reheating, hot holding, or assembly of ready to eat food products without soiling non-disposable cookware, serving ware, dishes, or utensils, and as a result, there is no wastewater discharge containing a significant amount of FOG. A limited food preparation establishment does not include any operation that changes the form, flavor, or consistency of food. G. “Grease” means any material which is extractable from an acidified sample of a waste by hexane or other designated solvent and as determined by the appropriate procedure in standard methods. “Grease” includes fats and oils. H. “Grease control device” means any grease interceptor, grease trap or other mechanism, device, or process, which attaches to, or is applied to, wastewater plumbing fixtures and lines, the purpose of which is to trap, collect, or treat FOG prior to it being discharged into the sewer system. “Grease control device” may also include any other proven method to reduce FOG subject to the approval of the City. I. “Grease interceptor” means a multi-compartment device that is constructed in different sizes and, according to the current edition of the California Plumbing Code, is generally required to be located underground between a FSE and the connection to the City’s sewer system. These devices primarily use gravity to separate FOG from the wastewater as it moves from one compartment to the next. These devices must be cleaned, maintained, and have the FOG removed and disposed of in a proper manner on regular intervals to be effective. J. “Grease trap” means a grease control device that is used to serve individual or multiple fixtures and have limited effect and should only be used in those cases where the use of a grease interceptor or other grease control device is determined to be impossible or impracticable. Page 479 of 821 K. “Hot spots” means areas in sewer lines that have experienced sanitary sewer overflows or that must be cleaned or maintained frequently to avoid blockages of the sewer system. L. “Private Lateral Sewage Discharge” (PLSD)” means sewage discharges that are caused by blockages or other problems within privately owned laterals or collection systems which are tributary to the sanitary sewer system. This type of sewage discharge is the responsibility of the private lateral or collection system owner. M. “Remodeling” means a physical change or operational change causing increased FOG generation that exceeds the current amount of FOG discharge to the sewer system by the FSE in an amount that alone or collectively causes or creates a potential for SSOs to occur; or any remodeling of a food service establishment that requires a building permit. 1. “Sanitary sewer overflow” (SSO) means and includes any overflow, spill, release, discharge or diversion of untreated or partially treated wastewater from a sanitary sewer system. SSOs include: Overflows or releases of untreated or partially treated wastewater that reach waters of the United States; 2. Overflows or releases of untreated or partially treated wastewater that do not reach waters of the United States; and 3. Wastewater backups into buildings and on private property that are caused by blockages or flow conditions within the publicly owned portion of a sanitary sewer system. N. “Sewage” means the waterborne wastes derived from ordinary human living processes and of such character as to permit satisfactory disposal, without special treatment, into the public sewer, a private sewer, or by means of household septic tank systems and individual household aerobic units. O. Sewer, Public. See definition in Chapter 14.06.010 of the municipal code. P. “Wastewater” means any liquid waste of any kind, whether treated or not, and whether animal, mineral or vegetable including sewage, agricultural, industrial and thermal wastes, which are discharged into or permitted to enter a public sewer. 14.24.040 - FOG discharge requirement. Page 480 of 821 No food service establishment (FSE) shall discharge or cause to be discharged into the sewer system any FOG in concentrations that may result in separation from effluent and adherence to sewer structures and appurtenances, accumulate, and/or cause or contribute to blockages in the sewer system or at the sewer system lateral which connects the FSE to the sewer system. The following requirements shall apply to all FSEs: A. Grease control device. FSEs are required to install, operate and maintain a grease control device of an approved type and adequate size in accordance with the current edition of the California Plumbing Code, see Chapter 15.20 (adopted Ordinance No. 2019-2474, §§ 1—3, 12-3-2019) to maintain compliance with the objectives of this chapter, subject to the variance and waiver provisions of Section 14.24.060. The grease control device shall be adequate to separate and remove FOG contained in wastewater discharges from FSEs prior to discharge to the sewer system. Fixtures, equipment, and drain lines located in the food preparation and clean up areas of FSEs that are sources of FOG discharges shall be connected to the grease control device. The grease control device shall be installed at a location approved by the County of San Diego or at the discretion of the City Engineer, where it shall be at all times easily accessible for inspection, cleaning, and removal of accumulated grease. Compliance shall be established as follows: a. Newly constructed FSEs, and FSEs that open a new business within an existing building, shall install grease control devices prior to commencing discharges of wastewater to the sewer system. This includes FSEs that are remodeling the site as well as those that are not remodeling the site. b. Existing FSEs shall be required to install and operate a grease control device within 6 months of notification by the City, or at the discretion of the City Engineer, if in the determination of the FOG program manager any of the following apply: i. The existing FSE has caused or contributed to the buildup of FOG, or a FOG-related blockage, in the sewer system including private laterals, and has reasonable potential to adversely impact the sewer system. Page 481 of 821 ii. The existing FSE has a sewer lateral connected to a hot spot, and has reasonable potential to adversely impact the sewer system. iii. The existing FSE has made any change in food preparation or business operations that is different than the original business application and those changes will lead to an increase in grease disposal which have reasonable potential to adversely impact the sewer system. iv. The existing FSE undergoes remodeling, as defined in Section 14.24.040.A.a. v. The existing FSE undergoes a change in ownership. vi. The existing FSE has reasonable potential to adversely impact the sewer system. B. Private lateral maintenance. All FSEs are required to clean the sewer lateral from the facility to the sewer main at least annually, or more often as needed to ensure proper flow within the sewer lateral. C. Maintenance Records. A record of sewer lateral cleaning must be maintained and kept on file for review at the food service facility. FSEs with a grease control device shall keep records of cleaning, maintenance and grease removal. All such records must be retained on site by the facility for a minimum of two years. A separate maintenance log shall be maintained for each grease control device. D. Inspection. Each FSE shall allow authorized City officials or enforcement officers, or an authorized representative, access to the premises during normal business hours and at reasonable times, for purposes of sampling, inspections and review of records relating to grease disposal. a. When offered by the City, inspections may be completed through a self- verification process. Failure to respond to a self-verification request or provide the necessary documentation will result in an onsite inspection by authorized City officials or enforcement officers, or an authorized representative. 14.24.050 - FOG prohibitions. Page 482 of 821 The following prohibitions shall apply to all FSEs: A. Installation of food grinders in the plumbing system of new construction or remodeling of FSEs shall be prohibited. B. Introduction of any additives into a FSE’s wastewater system for the purpose of emulsifying FOG or biologically/chemically treating FOG for grease remediation or as a supplement to grease control device maintenance is prohibited, unless a specific written authorization from the City of National City and the City of San Diego is obtained. C. Disposal of waste cooking oil into drainage pipes is prohibited. All waste cooking oils shall be collected and stored properly in receptacles such as barrels or drums for recycling or other acceptable methods of disposal. D. Discharge of wastewater from dishwashers to any grease control device is prohibited. E. Discharge of wastewater with temperatures in excess of 140 degrees Fahrenheit to any grease control device, including grease traps and grease interceptors, is prohibited. F. Discharge of any waste, including FOG and solid materials removed from the grease control device to the sewer system, is prohibited. 14.24.060 - Variance and waiver of grease control device requirement. A. Variance from Grease Interceptor Requirements. An existing FSE may obtain a variance from the grease interceptor requirement to allow alternative pretreatment technology that is, at least, equally effective in controlling the FOG discharge in lieu of a grease interceptor, if the FSE demonstrates that it is impossible or impracticable to install, operate or maintain a grease interceptor. The City’s determination to grant a variance will be based upon, but not limited to, evaluation of the following conditions: a. There is no adequate space for installation and/or maintenance of a grease interceptor. b. There is no adequate slope for gravity flow between the kitchen plumbing fixtures and the grease interceptor and/or between the grease interceptor and the private collection lines or the public sewer. Page 483 of 821 c. The FSE can justify that the alternative pretreatment technology is equivalent or better than a grease interceptor in controlling its FOG discharge. In addition, the FSE must be able to demonstrate, after installation of the proposed alternative pretreatment, its effectiveness to control FOG discharge through downstream visual monitoring of the sewer system, for at least three months, at its own expense. A variance may be granted if the results show no visible accumulation of FOG in its lateral and/or tributary downstream sewer lines. B. Conditional Waiver from Installation of Grease Interceptor. An existing FSE may obtain a conditional waiver from installation of a grease interceptor, if the FSE demonstrates that it has negligible FOG discharge and insignificant impact to the sewer system. Although a waiver from installation of a grease interceptor may be granted, the FSE may be required to provide space and plumbing segregation for future installation of a grease interceptor. The City’s determination to grant or revoke a conditional waiver shall be based upon, but not limited to, evaluation of the following conditions: a. Quantity of FOG discharge as measure or as indicated by the size of FSE based on seating capacity, number of meals served, menu, water usage, amount of on- site consumption of prepared food, and other conditions that may reasonably be shown to contribute to FOG discharges. b. Adequacy of implementation of best management practices and compliance history. c. Sewer size, grade, condition based on visual information, FOG disposition in the sewer by the FSE, and history of maintenance and sewer spills in the receiving sewer system. d. Changes in operations that significantly affect FOG discharge. e. Any other condition deemed reasonably related to the generation of FOG discharges by the City. C. Waiver from Grease Interceptor Installation with a Grease Disposal Mitigation Fee. For FSEs where the installation of a grease interceptor is not feasible and no equivalent alternative pretreatment can be installed, a waiver from the grease interceptor requirement may be granted with the imposition of a grease disposal mitigation fee. Page 484 of 821 Additional requirements may be imposed to mitigate the discharge of FOG into the sewer system. D. Any FSE may request a conditional waiver or variance from the FOG program manager, in order to avoid compliance with the grease control device installation requirement. The FSE bears the burden of demonstrating, to the program manager’s satisfaction, that the installation of a grease control device is either not feasible or not applicable. If a grease control device is determined to not be feasible, the applicant must demonstrate how acceptable alternatives will be sufficient to prevent FOG discharges to the sewer system from the FSE. If a grease control device is not necessary, the applicant must demonstrate that it has negligible FOG discharge and insignificant impact to the sewer system. The FSE will be given notice in writing that a conditional waiver or variance from the grease control device requirement has been approved. E. Terms and Conditions. The program manager may impose terms and conditions on the issuance of a waiver and may impose conditions on the FSE’s business license in accordance with an approved waiver. A conditional waiver may be suspended or revoked at any time when any of the terms and conditions for its issuance is not satisfied or if the conditions upon which the conditional waiver was based change so that the justification for the exception no longer exists. The conditional waiver shall be valid only so long as the FSE remains in compliance with all requirements. 14.24.070 - Commercial properties. Property owners of commercial properties or their official designee(s) shall be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the grease control device serving multiple FSEs that are located on a single parcel. Property owners of commercial properties or their official designee(s) shall be responsible for the maintenance of the sewer lateral serving multiple FSEs that are located on a single parcel. 14.24.080 - Sewer System Overflows, Abatement Orders and Cleanup Costs. Page 485 of 821 Private sewer lateral failures and SSOs caused by FSEs, alone or collectively, are the responsibility of the private property owner and FSE. If, either at the request of a FSE or to abate an immediate threat to the public health, safety, welfare, or property, the City acts to contain and/or clean up an SSO or the blockage of a sewer lateral or the sewer system caused by a FSE, the City’s costs for such abatement shall be entirely borne by the property owner of the FSE, or the discharger, and shall constitute a debt to the City and become due and payable upon the City’s request for reimbursement of such costs. Any person who discharges any waste and/or wastewater which causes or contributes to any sewer blockage, SSO, obstruction, interference, damage, or any other impairment to the City's sewer facilities or to the operation of those facilities shall be liable for all costs incurred to clean or repair the facilities together with expenses incurred by the City to resume normal operations. Any person who discharges waste and/or wastewater to the sewer system which causes or contributes to the City violating discharge requirements established by any Regulatory Agency shall be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by the City as a result, including but not limited to regulatory fines, penalties, and assessments made by other agencies or a court. 14.24.090 - Requirements for best management practices. All FSEs shall implement best management practices in accordance with the requirements and guidelines established by the City under its Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). 14.24.100 - Grease control device maintenance requirements. All FSEs shall implement grease control device maintenance in accordance with the requirements and guidelines established by the City under its Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). 14.24.110 – Enforcement Page 486 of 821 A.

What is It? Private sewer lateral lines are the privately-owned sewer lines that connect a property to the City-owned sewer line. Sewer laterals transport wastewater from all of the drains in your building to the public sewer main. Sewer lateral maintenance includes annual hydro jetting to keep pipes clean and free of any blockages. National City municipal code 14.06 states that property owners are responsible for maintenance on sewer lateral lines. Why is it Important? Maintaining and keeping our private sewer lateral drains clean is important, because… Fats, oils, grease, and other waste that private residences or businesses dispose of in their sinks and toilets can cause blockages and sanitary sewer backups into within your building and within the City’s sewer system. Residences Keep fats, oils, and grease out of your kitchen drains. See the City’s Residential FOG handout for more information. Do not dispose of wipes, disposal diapers, or feminine hygiene materials in the toilet or sink. These can cause blockages in your sewer line. Hire a plumber to clean your sewer lateral at least once annually to keep sewer lines clean and free of built up waste. Food Service Establishments Follow the City’s minimum FOG best management practices for food service establishments (FSEs) to minimize food waste disposal. All food service establishments in National City are required to perform sewer lateral maintenance at least once annually. Records of sewer lateral maintenance are required to be presented during Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) inspections. Everything we put down our private drains reaches the City sewer!

Garbage disposals only shred leftover fats into smaller pieces; they do not get rid of the fats that create grease. Hot water & dish detergents can unblock my pipe! Soaps may initially break up grease, but as it travels downstream, the soap loses its effectiveness and allows grease to solidify on walls and in pipes.

As summarized in Table 4, the Existing average dry weather flow of 4.22 mgd, with treatment costs attributed to the City, is anticipated to increase by 56%, reaching 6.57 mgd in the 20-Year time-increment, which includes the proposed Downtown Specific Plan development. Average Dry Weather Wastewater Flow (ADWF) Average Dry Weather Wastewater Flow (ADWF), or base flow, is domestic (or sanitary) wastewater flow from residential, commercial, and institutional (schools, churches, hospitals, etc.) sources, plus industrial wastewater. The wastewater flow is affected by population and land uses in an area. Wastewater flow varies throughout the day in response to personal habits and business operation. In this case these flows were estimated by multiplying water demands by Return-To-Sewer (RTS) ratios based on land use and basin. To calculate the City’s ADWF, 2007 average daily water demands, as supplied by Sweetwater Authority, were allocated to individual parcels in the City’s service area. 2007 water billing records were analyzed, and a list of the Major Water Users, with average daily water demands greater than 10,000 gpd, was compiled. As presented in Table 1, there are 80 Major Users accounting for 1.9 mgd of the City’s total water demand. These Major Users are illustrated in Figure 1. Each parcel’s average daily water demand was then multiplied by a corresponding RTS ratio, based on land use and sewer basin, with data presented in Table 2. For residential parcels, Multiple (R-4) had the highest RTS ratio of 0.80, followed by Restricted Multiple (R-3) with 0.75, Minor Multiple (R-2) with 0.71, and finally Single Family Residential (R-1) with a RTS of 0.66. Industrial (M zone) received a RTS of 0.90, Special and/or Misc. used 0.71, and Unzoned was 0.64. Commercial areas used a RTS of 0.73 or 0.60 corresponding to Restricted Commercial, with the exception of the Plaza Bonita Commercial area that utilized a RTS of 0.56 due to large scale landscaping. Several flow monitor areas utilized different RTS ratios or were calculated separately based on special cases within the zone. NC2 and NC3B ratios were derived from the above ratios using a factor of 0.743 and 0.851 respectively in order to account for higher landscaping demands in these areas. NC5 ratios were higher due to a combination of ADS flow monitor data and an assumed base flow throughout the zone. ADWF for the parcels tributary to flow monitors NC13 and NC16 were calculated based on acreage and land use and presented in Table 3. Within zone NC13, Commercial areas received 3194 gpd/ac, while Single Family and Unzoned were assigned 1198 gpd/ac. For NC16 wastewater was assigned as follows: Commercial – 1267 gpd/ac, Industrial – 1742 gpd/ac, Minor Multiple (R-2) and Restricted Residential (R-3) – 634 gpd/ac, Multiple Residential (R-4) – 792 gpd/ac and finally Single Family and Unzoned – 475 gpd/ac. Once wastewater flow was determined for each flow monitor area, the estimated flow was then compared to the ADS Flow Monitor readings to ensure calibration of the hydraulic model.

In an effort to provide reliable gravity sewer service while minimizing excessive wear or energy usage through force mains and lift stations, sanitary sewers shall be designed according to the following criteria: Gravity Mains • Pipes less than 12-inches in diameter: ½ full at peak wet weather flow • Pipes 12-inches in diameter and larger: ¾ full at peak wet weather flow • Minimum velocity: 2 feet per second • Maximum velocity: 10 feet per second • Manning’s n: .013 • Minimum slope requirements for pipes 0.1% (0.001 ft/ft) • Minimum pipe diameter for new construction: 8 in In the event that a gravity main satisfies these criteria, but the pipeline immediately upstream requires upsizing, one additional design stipulation may be applicable. The purpose of this design stipulation is to insure that pipe-reaches increase in diameter as they progress downstream, and prevent, wherever possible, pipe-reaches from fluctuating up and down in diameter. If a gravity main requires upsizing to a diameter larger than the diameter of the gravity main(s) immediately downstream in the same pipe-reach, and the downstream pipe(s) are less than 750 ft in length before conveying flow to a gravity main of equal or larger diameter than the diameter recommended for the deficient upstream gravity main, then the downstream gravity main(s) of less than 750 ft shall be upsized to the same diameter of the upstream pipe. Force Mains • Minimum velocity 3 feet per second • Maximum velocity 5 feet per second • Maximum Allowable Headloss 10 ft/1,000 ft of pipeline • Maximum Desired Headloss 5 ft/ 1,000 ft of pipeline Lift Station Requirements Lift Stations should be sized for peak wet weather flow with manufacturer’s recommended cycling times for pumping equipment and should be sized based upon the following criteria: Page 529 of 821 National City Sewer System Management Plan Technical Memorandum No. 9 July 21, 2009 Page 23 of 56 • Lift stations should be capable of meeting the criteria with the largest capacity pump serving as standby. • 65 percent pump efficiency should be assumed, except where other information is available. • 95 percent motor efficiency should be assumed, except where other information is available. • Wet well should be sized for a minimum of two hours of peak wet weather flow. • Lift Stations should have emergency stand-by power. HYDRAULIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT IEC utilized MWH Soft, Inc.’s H20Map Sewer GIS 9.0, SP 1, Update #1 software to create a wastewater collection system model for the City. The model was used to evaluate existing City owned wastewater facilities and provide recommendations for upsizing. The main components involved in developing the City’s sewer hydraulic model are assigning attribute data to emulate the City’s physical facilities and loading existing and projected wastewater flows. The City’s most current GIS data, originally developed by PBS&J as part of their previous master planning effort (ssewerpipe2.shp and ssmh2.shp), was utilized as the basis for the model infrastructure. All City owned wastewater facilities, excluding laterals, were then input into the hydraulic model from the City’s GIS data. This included invert elevations, length, location and diameters for approximately 2,100 gravity mains, as well as two (2) lift stations. Three (3) steady-state scenarios were created in the hydraulic model for each time-increment: average dry weather flow (ADWF), peak dry weather flow (PDWF) and peak wet weather flow (PWWF). These scenarios were then loaded with the wastewater flows developed as previously described. HYDRAULIC MODEL CALIBRATION When calibrating a hydraulic model, the best available metered data is utilized to either confirm or correct the results predicted by the model. The City provided ADS flow meter data for the NC2, NC3A, NC3B, NC4M, NC5, NC6, NC7M, NC8M, NC9M, NC10, NC11, NC12, NC13, NC15 and NC16 meter sites. Since data was recorded hourly for a full year, an average flow taken from a dry span of 28 days to ascertain an average dry weather flow which was then compared to the model during the ADWF scenario to ensure the model was producing the correct flow for each area. Flows occurring in the model during the PDWF scenario were compared to peak flows during the 28 day span to make certain that each area was peaking correctly in accordance with the ADS flow meter data. Table 6 presents the comparison between the results generated with the H20Map steady state scenarios and the recorded ADS flow meter data. Page 530 of 821 Page 531 of 821 National City Sewer System Management Plan Technical Memorandum No. 9 July 21, 2009 Page 25 of 56 Downtown Specific Plan being implemented and any upsizing needed in that area. Under the 20 year projected flows, 119 pipes were unable to satisfy during the PDWF with an additional 37 pipes failing during a wet weather event, totaling 156 unable to meet criteria in the 20 year PWWF scenario. For the gravity mains recommended for upsizing, average dry weather flow (ADWF), peak dry weather flow with peaking factor and subsequent depth-to-Diameter ratio (d/D), peak wet weather flow (PWWF) with the corresponding peaking factor, and resulting depth-to-Diameter ratios were projected for each pipeline in the 20 year time increment. Comprising a total of 42,864 linear feet, the 156 pipelines that require upsizing, recommended replacement diameters and their corresponding new depth-to-Diameter ratios, were calculated to satisfy the design criteria. Tables 7-10 present a summary of the 190 gravity mains comprising a total of 50,598 linear feet, with detailed hydraulic modeling results for all pipelines in the Existing, 5-Year, 10-Year and 20-Year time increment.

These estimates are based on the best available data at the time of this report; however, since prices of materials and labor fluctuate with time, new estimates should be obtained during pre-design for proposed facilities to confirm budget amounts. Recent market trends have indicated substantial volatility in the price of construction materials such as steel and concrete. These factors, coupled with the high level of similar work currently being performed, have on occasion resulted in a generally unpredictable bidding environment. The ENR-CCI is an inflation index used to adjust prices from one time period to another. The cost estimates presented in this report are based upon an ENR-CCI cost index of 8,293 for July 2008. Costs estimated herein for recommended facilities should be adjusted in the future either by making new estimates or by comparing the future ENR-CCI index to 8,293. A factor of 20 percent of total construction cost has been used for engineering and administration, which includes, but is not limited to the following: • Planning and design reports • Design • CEQA compliance • Permits • Surveying • Service during construction (submittals, as-builts) • Inspection A factor of 30 percent has been added for contingencies. These engineering, administration and contingency factors have been incorporated into all unit costs.

The City of National City has prepared the following climate change asset vulnerability assessment to address this requirement. Sea level rise Effects of future sea level rise were evaluated for near term and longer-term scenarios using USGS Coastal Storm Modeling System for Southern California (CoSMoS) 3.0 data.1 The near-term scenario was based on 0.25 m (0.8 ft) of sea level rise, which roughly corresponds to the intermediate-high scenario predicted 2040 sea level rise for San Diego Bay of 0.7 ft.2 The longer-term scenario was based on 1.5 m (4.9 ft) of sea level rise, which corresponds to the intermediate-high scenario predicted 2100 sea level rise for San Diego Bay of 4.9 ft.3 Figures 1 and 2 were generated for the two scenarios described above using the “Our Coast, Our Future” website4 to visualize CoSMoS results. Figure 1 shows that no areas other than water bodies are expected to be flooded in the 2040 (0.8 ft) scenario. A few small areas west of Paradise Marsh and north of Pepper Park are identified as flood-prone low-lying areas. Figure 2 shows flooding is predicted to occur in much of the western - most portion of the City, close to San Diego Bay, for the 2100 (4.9 ft) scenario. The CoSMoS 2100 sea level rise 100-year flood scenario was compared to National City sewer manhole locations. Based on this analysis, 68 sewer manholes were identified as being located within the inundation extent for this scenario (Figure 3). Note that the northern portion of this area is in Naval Base San Diego, outside the City’s jurisdiction , which is why no City manholes are shown in that region. Future capital projects in the western portion of the City shown as inundated in the 2100 scenario will be designed to address the future effects of sea level rise as shown on the maps, as well as the combined effects of sea level rise and king tides that may produce 1 Barnard, P.L., Erikson, L.H., Foxgrover, A.C., Limber, P.W., O'Neill, A.C., and Vitousek, S., 2018, Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) for Southern California, v3.0, Phase 2 (ver. 1g, May 2018): U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F7T151Q4. 2 California Sea Level Rise Guidance: 2024 Science and Policy Update. 2024.

For example, manhole inserts that seal the manhole opening may be considered. These types of inserts would also help prevent I&I from stormwater entering the sewer system through manhole openings if larger storm flows increase water depths in streets such that the water depth in the street is higher than the manhole rim elevations. Pipe lining, pipe upgrades to materials more resistant to infiltration (e.g., PVC), and similar pipe improvements will also be considered in lower lying areas of the City subject to sea level rise effects. Lift stations To address near-term sea level rise impacts, the City has ensured backup generators and bypass procedures are in place for the City’s two pump stations. These measures are intended to ensure continued operation in the event of power disruptions or capacity exceedances due to storm or tidal influence. As shown in Figure 3, both of the City’s lift stations are in areas expected to be inundated by 100-year flooding in the 2100 sea level rise scenario. Longer-range planning for improvements to these pump statio ns will consider measures to protect these lift stations against the impacts of sea level rise predicted to occur by around 2100.

National City Sewer Manholes within the 2100 Sea Level Rise Scenario 100-Year Flood Inundation Area Page 569 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN ADDENDUM PAGE 6 Wildfire No part of the City of National City has a wildfire risk of moderate or higher in Cal Fire’s most recent Fire Hazard Severity Zone map (https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/what-we- do/community-wildfire-preparedness-and-mitigation/fire-hazard-severity-zones). The City of National City is fully urbanized and does not have open space canyons or similar areas that would be expected to have a higher fire risk in the future. The City’s above ground wastewater assets are limited to pump stations that are unlikely to be affected by wildfires. Both are located at the west side of the City, close to San Diego Bay where temperatures are moderated due to the influence of the Bay. The pump stations are also in urbanized areas with little to no vegetation in their vicinities. The City has identified a small number of pipelines near the ends of the County’s system in Lincoln Acres that are close to vegetated slopes. While these slopes are not noted in the Cal Fire fire hazard severity map, these slopes may have a somewhat higher fire risk than other areas in the City. However, these City pipelines are in flat developed areas. Thus even if fires were to remove the vegetation on the slopes, there are no pipelines in the slopes themselves, and the pipes should not be at risk of damage due to any future slope erosion that could occur post-fire. At this time the City has not identified any portions of its wastewater collection system likely to be impacted by increased wildfire risk associated with climate change. Larger storm flows The City’s system is not designed to allow storm flows to enter the wastewater collection system, and the City is not currently aware of locations where storm flows are entering the City’s system. The City of National City is participating in a regional I&I study being completed by the Metro JPA, which includes all agencies that are tributary to the City of San Diego’s Point Loma treatment Plant. The I&I study will identify locations where storm flows may enter National City’s wastewater system. Once results of that study are available, the City of National City will update its CIP to address portions of its system that are anticipated to have significant I&I issues, as applicable. The City is also currently evaluating increasing capacity at the two points where its system connects into the downstream City of San Diego South Metro Interceptor, which takes wastewater to the City of San Diego’s treatment plant. This is the most downstream end of the City of National City’s system. Increasing capacity in this area will also help address potential impacts of larger storm flows should some storm flow enter the City of National City’s collection system. Sewer crossing evaluation In the future, peak storm flows may be larger and more erosive and therefore could pose a higher risk to sewer pipes that run along or under drainage channels. To further evaluate this potential risk, the City reviewed each of its main creeks, rivers, and drainage channels Page 570 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN ADDENDUM PAGE 7 and identified locations where sewer lines cross or run next to these conveyances. Assessments of these locations are provided below. Relatively few sewer crossings of earthen channels exist in National City, and none were identified as being at high risk of erosion due to larger future storm flows. Paleta Creek (7th Street Channel) Paleta Creek drains the northern part of National City. Much of the creek itself is in the City of San Diego, and the most downstream portion of the creek is on US Navy property. There are no open channel segments of Paleta Creek, also known as 7th Street Channel, in the City of National City. Based on existing City GIS data, all segments within the City are concrete pipes or culverts. Paradise Creek – Eastern Paradise Creek has two main segments that are generally hydrologically separate. They only connect during very large (e.g., 100-year) storms. The eastern portion of the creek, begins in the Paradise Hills community of the City of San Diego and flows to the west to National City. It flows from east to west along Paradise Valley Road and then Plaza Boulevard to I-805. Just west of I-805, the creek is directed south into a large culvert. This culvert outlets to an earthen channel in National City golf course. That earthen channel flows south through the golf course and then to the Sweetwater River. Upstream of National City golf course, all locations where sewer pipes cross or are near the creek are in pipes or concrete-lined channel segments. These locations are not deemed to be at risk of erosion from future higher flow events. Within the golf course, sewer lines cross the earthen channel in two places. At each crossing there is around 2-3 feet of cover, and the sewer lines are encased in concrete to protect them from potential damage due to erosion . Based on City of National City and County of San Diego GIS data, these sewer line segments are owned and maintained by the County. Note that because there are several locations where City and County sewer lines connect into each other along the border between the City of National City and the County of San Diego, mainly around Lincoln Acres, the City and the County are currently working together to confirm and document ownership, maintenance responsibilities, and interconnection agreements. If this process results in any change to the ownership or maintenance responsibility for sewer lines within the golf course, National City’s SSMP will be updated accordingly. Paradise Creek – Western The western portion of Paradise Creek begins with an open channel just west of Highland Avenue, close to Walmart. It flows west through Kimball Park, then to the southwest to Paradise Marsh, and from there to the Sweetwater River. Page 571 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN ADDENDUM PAGE 8 There is a sewer crossing in the channel segment by Walmart, between Highland Avenue and Kimball Way. This pipe has about 2 feet of cover but is encased in concrete. The City also recently completed a capital improvement project in this channel to improve resistance to erosion. There is another sewer crossing in Kimball Park, just upstream of the entrance to a long box culvert that conveys water to the west under National City Boulevard. There is approximately 4 feet of cover at this location. Velocity in this segment of the creek is controlled by the downstream box culvert, which is undersized relative to the upstream channel. This area also experiences tidal backwater, which further redu ces velocity. The earthen channel was widened in a recent CIP and also has dense vegetative cover. Erosion risk at this location is considered low. City staff also frequently are in the park for maintenance and would be able to identify signs of increased erosion in this area if it began occurring. The last sewer crossing of the western portion of Paradise Creek is at approximately 22 nd Street and Wilson Avenue. This area has about 10 feet of cover and is tidally influenced, so the risk of pipe exposure and damage due to erosion is low. Sweetwater River The Sweetwater River flows east to west in the southern portion of the City. Sewer lines that cross the river or flow next to the river are owned and maintained by the County of San Diego. The exception to this is the South Metro Interceptor, owned and maintained by the City of San Diego, that crosses the Sweetwater River east of the railroad bridge that is east of I-5. The City of National City does not own or maintain any sewer lines along the Sweetwater River. Other Drainage Channels A channel in eastern National City, roughly between Rachael Avenue and Harbison Avenue, begins around Cumberland Street in the north and then drains south to SR -54. Portions of this channel are in National City and portions are in the City of San Diego. Th e sewer line that roughly follows this channel is part of the Paradise Hills trunk sewer, which is owned and maintained by the City of San Diego. A sewer line crosses a minor tributary to the Sweetwater River in the area bounded by SR- 54, Sweetwater Road, Plaza Bonita Road, and the levee on the north bank of the Sweetwater River. This pipe has about 5-7 feet of cover. Velocity in this area is not expected to be particularly high for large storms because a small culvert through the levee controls the flow rate and causes significant backup upstream. Flow in this area also spreads out over a wide area (100-200 feet). Page 572 of 821 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN ADDENDUM PAGE 9 Higher process temperatures To the extent that climate change may increase overall environmental temperatures, and that may in turn increase the temperature of wastewater in the City’s collection system, projected temperature increases of several degrees Celsius or so are not expected to have an adverse impact on the City’s collection system assets. The City of National City is located close to the coast, and temperature increases of several degrees Celsius would still mean peak summer temperatures in the City of National City will generally be less than current peak summer temperatures in more inland San Diego County cities. Pipes and other materials used in wastewater collection systems throughout the County retain functionality at the peak summer temperatures that currently occur farther inland in San Diego County, so the City does not anticipate that the level of temperature increase that may be observed in National City will have any negative impacts on the City’s wastewater collection system. The City of National City does not operate a wastewater treatment plant, so higher process temperatures that could in theory affect effectiveness of treatment processes will not affect the City’s assets. As noted above, projected temperature increases will still leave the temperature in National City lower than current peak summer temperatures in other cities that are farther east and also drain to the City of San Diego’s treatment plant. Should the City of San Diego identify process temperature concerns as part of its climate change assessment, the City of National City will work with the City of San Diego and the other Metro JPA members as needed to address those concerns at a regional level, as applicable.

Schultz, City Attorney Page 611 of 821 AGENDA REPORT Department: Engineering & Public Works Prepared by: Luca Zappiello, Principal Civil Engineer Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 Approved by: Scott W. Huth, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Installation of Red Curb “No Parking” at the Intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 7th Street to Improve Visibility for Vehicles Exiting E. 7th Street onto Harbison Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Authorizing the Installation of Red Curb “No Parking” at the Intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 7th Street to Improve Visibility.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: At their meeting on August 13, 2025, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved the installation of Red Curb “No Parking” at the intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 7th Street to enhance visibility for vehicles exiting E. 7th Street onto Harbison Avenue. EXPLANATION: Mr. James Nethers, a local resident, has requested the installation of red curb "No Parking" at the intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 7th Street to improve visibility for vehicles exiting E. 7th Street onto Harbison Avenue. Mr. Nethers stated that parked vehicles on the west side of Harbison Avenue, near the intersection with E. 7th Street, create visibility issues, making it difficult for vehicles exiting E. 7th Street to safely enter Harbison Avenue. He also provided a petition signed by 62 residents acknowledging the visibility constraints for vehicles exiting E. 7th Street to enter Harbison Avenue. A copy of the petition is included in the Traffic Safety Committee report. Staff performed a site evaluation. E. 7th Street and Harbison Avenue are currently 2-lane roadways with parking available on both sides of the streets. The intersection is currently Stop controlled for eastbound traffic on E. 7th Street. The posted speed limit on Harbison Avenue is 30 mph. Staff confirmed that there is no red curb on Harbison Avenue at the intersection. Staff evaluated line of site for vehicles attempting to exit E. 7th Street onto Harbison Avenue and confirmed that it can be difficult for drivers to see oncoming traffic when vehicles are parked too close to the intersection. Additionally, there can be visibility issues for eastbound traffic exiting E. 7th Street onto Harbison Avenue due to the electrical power poles located on the northwest and southwest corner of the intersection. Staff also reviewed the traffic collision history for this location, which confirmed there were no “reported” traffic collisions within the past four years. To improve visibility at the intersection, staff recommends the following improvements: Install 40 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the west side of Harbison Avenue, north of E. 7th Street. Page 612 of 821 Install 60 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the west side of Harbison Avenue, sout h of E. 7th Street. This will extend the existing red curb, which currently reaches the intersection of Harbison Avenue and 8th Street. This item was presented to the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) on August 13, 2025. Staff sent a notice to the applicant and nearby residents, inviting them to the TSC Meeting and encouraging them to contact staff with any questions. Mr. James Nethers and other area residents attended the meeting to support this item. Staff presented the results of the site evaluation to the Traffic Safety Committee and after discussion, the Traffic Safety Committee voted to approve staff’s recommendations. If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The estimated cost to install the red curb “No Parking” is approximately $300. Funding is available within the Engineering & Public Works’ Streets Division maintenance and operations budget.

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Authorizing the Installation of Red Curb “No Parking” at the Intersection of Palm Avenue and E. 11th Street to Improve Visibility.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: At their meeting on August 13, 2025, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved staff’s recommendation for the installation of red curb “No Parking” at the intersection of Palm Avenue and E 11th Street. EXPLANATION: Mrs. Stella Rodriguez, resident of 1640 E 11th Street, has requested a red curb “No Parking” at the northeast corner of the intersection of Palm Avenue and E 11th Street. Mrs. Rodriguez stated that visibility is impacted when vehicles are parked along the east side of Palm Avenue, making the intersection dangerous. Staff visited the site and observed that Palm Avenue is a two-way collector road with parking on both sides and a posted speed limit of 30 mph, and E 11th Street is a residential street with parking on both sides and a speed limit of 25 mph. During the site evaluation, staff confirmed the presence of red curb “No Parking” on the southeast corner of the intersection along Palm Avenue. Staff was also able to confirm the visibility issue for vehicles turning left from E 11th Street on to Palm Ave. This item was presented to the Traffic Safety Committee on August 13, 2025. Staff sent notices to the residents inviting them to the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting and/or to contact staff with any questions. No individuals were in attendance to speak on this item.

To obtain a copy of our current disclosures, you may contact your client service representative by calling the number on the front of this statement or you may visit our website at www.chandlerasset.com. Information contained in this monthly statement is confidential and is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as specific investment or legal advice. The information contained herein was obtained from sources believed to be reliable as of the date of this statement, but may become outdated or superseded at any time without notice. Custody: Your qualified custodian bank maintains control of all assets reflected in this statement and we urge you to compare this statement to the one you receive from your qualified custodian. Chandler does not have any authority to withdraw or deposit funds from/to the custodian account. Valuation: Prices are provided by IDC, an independent pricing source. In the event IDC does not provide a price or if the price provided is not reflective of fair market value, Chandler will obtain pricing from an alternative approved third party pricing source in accordance with our written valuation policy and procedures. Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A. Performance: Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss.

Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Ratings: Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy. Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest and carries a high rating by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch respectively.

Page 666 of 821 AGENDA REPORT Department: City Manager's Office Prepared by: Pedro Garcia, Economic Development Manager Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 Approved by: Scott W. Huth, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Agreement with Terra Realty Advisors to Include Phase II Scope of Services for Digital Billboard Consulting and Increasing the Not-to-Exceed Amount by $27,000. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a First Amendment to the Agreement with Terra Realty Advisors, Inc. to Modify the Scope of Services and Increase the Not-to-Exceed Amount by $27,000.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: Not Applicable. EXPLANATION: On January 21, 2025, the City Council approved an Agreement with Terra Realty Advisors to evaluate potential sites for digital billboards (Phase I). The assessment reviewed freeway corridors and surface streets, concluding that I-805 and SR-54 were not viable due to terrain and visibility constraints. The review identified five potential sites along I-5, most on City-owned property, and confirmed that the City’s ordinance allows up to five digital billboards. With three already operating, two additional billboards are legally permissible. Phase I ranked the following sites as the City’s best opportunities for expansion: Site #4 (24th St. Off-Ramp Wayfinding Signs - City Parcel) – Located at the northeast corner of the site with excellent visibility from both northbound and southbound I-5. Identified as the top priority site for development. Site #2 (Public Works Material Storage Area – Civic Center Dr.) – Located below the elevated section of I-5 with strong visibility potential if elevated signage is constructed. Ranked as the second priority site for development. Together, these two sites represent the City’s best chance to maximize freeway visibility, create branding opportunities, and significantly increase billboard-related revenues. Phase II services will: Advance Sites #4 and #2 through entitlement and permitting processes. Update the City’s Sign Ordinance as necessary to accommodate digital billboards. Develop and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to attract qualified digital billboard companies. Negotiate Development or Lease Agreements that maximize long-term City revenues. Page 667 of 821 Explore conversion of Clear Channel static poster signs on surface streets to digital displays, each with potential to generate approximately $10,000 annually per face. This work will position the City to enter into development agreements with outdoor advertising companies and increase advertising-based revenues beyond the approximately $500,000 currently generated annually by the City’s existing billboards. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost of Phase II services is $24,500 plus $2,500 in reimbursable expenses, for a total not-to- exceed amount of $27,000. Funding will be drawn from account 100-10-13-13100-7213, Professional Services – CMO.

In 2011, the City of National City made a loan for $717,500 from the HOME Investment Partnerships (“HOME”) Program, restricting the eight units to between 30-60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The funds were used to assist in the substantial rehabilitation of the Property. Payments have been made through residual receipts. A Deed of Trust (“City Deed of Trust”) secures the City’s HOME loan on the Property. The City Deed of Trust is currently subordinated to the Property’s existing first mortgage with California Bank and Trust. The California Bank and Trust loan of approximately $403,700 is set to mature in October 2025. Borrower desires to refinance the existing loan and enter into a new loan with Neighborhood National Bank (“Lender”) for a not-to-exceed principal amount of $417,000. With the funds, the Borrower will pay off the maturing California Bank and Trust loan and cover closing costs. In order to provide the new loan, the Lender requires the subordination of the City Deed of Trust to the Lender’s Deed of Trust. The terms of the City’s HOME loan will not be altered.

Schultz, City Attorney Page 684 of 821 AGENDA REPORT Department: City Manager's Office Prepared by: Pedro Garcia, Economic Development Manager Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 Approved by: Scott Huth, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Support for the State’s proposed Utility Affordability & Accountability Legislative Package RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Supporting the State’s Utility Affordability and Accountability Legislative Package for the 2025-2026 California Legislature Regular Session.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: Not Applicable. EXPLANATION: This item was introduced as a City Council Policy 105 request by Vice-Mayor Bush at the August 19, 2025 City Council Meeting. At that time, the Council reached a consensus to bring the item back at a future meeting for formal presentation of the Resolution for Approval. Across California, rising utility rates continue to increase the cost of living for millions of residents. Since 2013, bundled residential average rates have increased faster than the rate of inflation— up to 12% for PG&E, and 7% for SCE and SDG&E. As of November 2024, San Diego had the highest electricity prices in the country, averaging 42 cents per kilowatt-hour. According to a 2023 California State Audit, SDG&E had the highest electricity rates of all large investor-owned utilities in California, and more than 25% of SDG&E customers were more than 30 days behind on their utility bills. National City residents’ electricity is purchased through San Diego Community Power (SDCP), the regional community choice energy joint powers authority. SDG&E, however, continues to own and operate the transmission and distribution grid, and its delivery charges and infrastructure costs—regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission—remain a significant component of local utility bills. As a result, statewide affordability and accountability reforms would benefit SDCP customers and all ratepayers in SDG&E’s service territory. The 2025 Utility Affordability and Accountability Legislative Package (Package) consists of Senate and Assembly bills designed to lower utility costs, ensure fair electricity pricing, and advance equitable, affordable energy for residents. Collectively, these bills propose reforms such as: Capping rate increases to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Prohibiting misuse of ratepayer dollars for lobbying, advertising, or political influence. Increasing transparency for energy data and reporting of taxpayer funding. Page 685 of 821 Providing hardship deferments and relief programs for residents impacted by natural disasters, job loss, or family hardship. Shifting wildfire mitigation costs away from ratepayers. Authorizing more affordable financing for transmission infrastructure. The Package includes the following bills: Assembly Bills: AB 825 (Petrie-Norris), AB 1020 (Schiavo), AB 1167 (Berman & Addis), AB 1017 (Boerner). Senate Bills: SB 24 (McNerney), SB 254 (Becker), SB 330 (Padilla), SB 332 (Wahab), SB 500 (Stern), SB 636 (Menjivar). By adopting the attached Resolution, National City will join the County of San Diego and the City of San Diego in urging the State Legislature to pass these reforms to provide relief for residents and hold utilities accountable. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Huth, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Public Hearing – Re-Introduction of an Amendment of NCMC 9.38 Establishing a Tobacco Retail License Program RECOMMENDATION: Re-Introduce the Ordinance Entitled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Amending Title 9 of the National City Municipal Code by Amending Chapter 9.38 Pertaining to Tobacco Retailer Licensing and Restricting the Sale, Display and Promotion of Tobacco to Youth.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: The City Council held a public hearing at their meeting of August 19, 2025 and introduced the Ordinance with the addition of language amendments capping the number of tobacco retail licenses at 54 and adding language to the compliance check (“decoy check”) section (9.38.140 C) as follows: C. The city shall conduct up to two compliance checks per 12-month period that involves the participation of persons between the ages of 18 and 20 to enter licensed premises to attempt to purchase tobacco products, with additional compliance checks as required. The City Council held a subsequent public hearing at their meeting of September 2, 2025 to adopt the Ordinance. Discussion led to a motion of adoption with further modification to section 9.38.140 C as follows: C. The city shall conduct one compliance check per two-year period that involves the participation of persons between the ages of 18 and 20 to enter licensed premises to attempt to purchase tobacco products, with additional compliance checks as required. Due to this further modification being considered a “substantive change”, it was deemed necessary to re-introduce the Ordinance. EXPLANATION: At the meeting of January 21, 2025, the City Council directed staff per a Policy 105 request to consider development of an Ordinance amending Chapter 9.38 to include a Tobacco Retail License program. Staff returned with a staff report on March 4, 2025 and was directed to bring back an Ordinance amending the chapter and creating a Tobacco Retail License Program. Chapter 9.38 of the Municipal Code – Restricting the sale, display, and promotion of tobacco products or cigarettes to minors – was adopted in 2000 and amended in 2003 (Exhibit A). This Page 712 of 821 chapter contains regulations related to product placement within retail locations located within a thousand feet of any school, playground, recreation center or facility, childcare center, or library. Advertisement of tobacco products within one thousand feet of the same is prohibited. Signage is also required stating that the sale of tobacco products and cigarettes to persons under twenty - one years of age is prohibited by law and subject to penalties. In addition to the regulations contained in Chapter 9.38, Title 18 (Zoning) also contains regulations pertaining to tobacco specialty businesses, defined as a business with more than forty percent of the floor area devoted to the use, display, and/or sales of tobacco products and/or paraphernalia. Chapter 18.30.230 requires a Conditional Use Permit for such a use. In 2018 the City Council adopted amendments to Chapters 9.37 (Prohibition of Smoking in Open Air Dining Areas), 9.38, and Chapter 10.52 (Regulations for the use of municipal parks, playgrounds and golf courses). These amendments generally amended definitions of tobacco products to include electronic cigarettes. In California, it is illegal for retailers and clerks to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21. This law applies to the sale of traditional tobacco products like cigarettes as well as to the sale of electronic smoking devices like e-cigarettes and tobacco product paraphernalia. There is also a requirement for all retailers that sell electronic smoking devices in California to apply to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) for a license. However, this is for taxation purposes. California law also now prohibits the sale of most flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes. This law went into effect on December 21, 2022. This Code Amendment request was made via a Policy 105 action that was initiated based on communication with National City For Better Health, in collaboration with SAY San Diego, administrators of the San Diego Smoke-Free Project, which encouraged adoption of a Tobacco Retail License (TRL) policy. The TRL program is aimed at ensuring local and state tobacco laws are being followed. The program, while containing rules already encompassed at the state level, would place the administrative and enforcement burden for compliance with the City. The intention of the program is for it to be supported through license fees. The main components of a TRL include: No new license within a thousand feet of youth-oriented facilities No new license within a thousand feet of another tobacco retailer No new license within a thousand feet of a cannabis retailer Total number of retail licenses limited to one per 2,500 residents No sales of flavored tobacco products Packaging, labeling, and pricing consistent with manufacturer’s specifications and applicable federal requirements Annual renewable permit No transfer of license between location or person Compliance monitoring All other components of the existing Municipal Code sections are maintained in some form in suggested language provided by SAY San Diego and incorporated in the attached Draft Ordinance (Exhibit B), with the license cap of 54 and additional compliance check language, as mentioned above. The license fees were recommended as per staff’s suggestion ($700). FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The proposed license fee of $700 is intended to pay for staff time associated with business inspections. Based on the 54 existing retail outlets selling tobacco, the total annual fee collected Page 713 of 821 would amount to approximately $37,800, which may cover some or all of the cost of 54 annual business inspections and allow for a decoy compliance check program to augment staff inspections. This amount of revenue is not enough revenue to start up the program and to accomplish the full administration of the program on an annual basis. It is anticipated that program proponents will fulfill their promise to help the city to acquire grant and other funding to support the program. The City is intending to fund this program through the general fund and seek to cover expenses through fees, fines and grant funds.

INTRODUCED this 16th day of September, 2025. PASSED and ADOPTED this ____ day of ________, 2025. __________________________ Ron Morrison, Mayor ATTEST: _____________________________ Shelley Chapel, MMC, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: _____________________________ Barry J. Schultz, City Attorney Page 730 of 821 AGENDA REPORT Department: Planning Prepared by: Sophia Depew, Assistant Planner Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 Approved by: Scott W. Huth, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Table 18.24.040 A and Table 18.24.040 D of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code Related to Maximum Height and Number of Stories in the MXC-1 and MXD-1 Zones. RECOMMENDATION: Hold the Public Hearing and Introduce the Ordinance Entitled: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Amending Table 18.24.040A and Table 18.24.040D of Title 18 (Zoning) of the National City Municipal Code Related to Maximum Height and Number of Stories in the MXC-1 and MXD-1 Zones.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: On August 18, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of the Ordinance by a unanimous vote of those present. EXPLANATION: Background Table 18.24.040 A and Table 18.24.040 D in the Land Use Code (Zoning Ordinance) regulate building form and placement (development standards) within the MXC-1 (Minor Mixed-Use Corridor) and MXD-1 (Minor Mixed-Use District) zones, respectively. The tables include minimum and maximum standards for development, such as: setbacks, stepbacks, height, lot size, floor area ratio, and density. The maximum height listed in the tables is 50 feet and 3 stories. While all zones within the National City Land Use Code measure maximum height in feet and number of stories, the difference in height (in feet) and number of stories in the MXC-1 and MXD-1 zones is inconsistent with the City’s other zones. For example, the Mixed-Use Transition (MXT) zone, which was added to the Land Use Code as part of the Focused General Plan Update in 2024, has a height limit of 45 feet and 4 stories. The maximum story height in the California Building Code (CBC) is 14 feet (ceiling to ceiling). Therefore, the usable square footage of a three-story building would never exceed a height of 42 feet. The CBC also has a minimum ceiling height of seven feet-six inches, meaning a building under 50 feet in height could potentially include five or six stories depending on how the structure was designed. Generally, height is defined in the Land Use Code (LUC) as “the vertical distance from the highest point of any structure to the ground level directly below, except as otherwise provided in this section. On sloped lots, the height shall be measured from the average grade to the tallest point of the structure”. However, story is defined by the Uniform Building Code as “the Page 731 of 821 vertical distance from top to top of two successive tiers of beams or finished floor surfaces and, for the topmost story, from the top of the floor finish to the top of the ceiling joists or, where there is not a ceiling, to the top of the roof rafters”. In 2023, height measured on sloped lots was amended to an “average grade” measurement, reducing the need for discretionary approvals (var iances) and overall building costs while improving consistency with State law and the Focused General Plan Update. Increasing the number of permitted stories would be complimentary to this previous code update on height measurement and provide additional r elief for lots with topographical challenges. Projects could be designed so portions of a building could accommodate a higher number of stories than other portions of the same structure (i.e. sloped lots). Additionally, there are other development standar ds in place that limit the size and bulk of buildings in the MXC-1 and MXD-1 zones: the maximum height of a building is 50 feet, the minimum third-story stepback is eight feet, the maximum floor area ratio is 1.0 for single -use projects and 2.0 for mixed-use projects, and the maximum density is 48 dwelling units per acre. These standards already restrict the scale of new projects within the zones. Proposal The applicant, under National City Municipal Code Section 18.12.140, has proposed to increase the maximum number of stories permitted in the MXC-1 zone from three stories to four stories. Staff has also recommended that there be an increase of the maximum number of stories permitted in the MXD-1 zone to four stories. There are no proposed changes to maximum height (in feet), floor area ratio (FAR), or density. The applicant’s request is based on a proposed 120-unit 4-story multifamily housing development within the MXC-1 zone. The project is meeting the maximum height (in feet) and maximum FAR with a four-story design. The three-story maximum is limiting the project’s ability to provide the desired density allowed by right in the zone. The pertinent portions of Table 18.24.040A and Table 18.24.040D currently read as follows: Development Standard Minimum Maximum Height None 50’ and 3 stories Staff is suggesting the following changes (shown as underlined): Development Standard Minimum Maximum Height None 50’ and 4 stories Analysis The intent of the standards in the MXC-1 and MXD-1 zones are to ensure excellence in site planning and building design in order to create a vibrant and well-defined public realm that is pedestrian- friendly and supportive of a sustainable way-of-life. Increasing the number of permitted stories from three to four is in line with the intent of the zones by providing greater site design flexibility. It gives projects the opportunity to build up, instead of out, creating new space that can be utilized for the benefit of the residents like green space, common open space, and parking. The current height requirement in the City’s MXC-1 and MXD-1 zones provides for a maximum height that would never be achieved by a conventional building design. The large gap between height (in feet) and number of stories is an unnecessary burden to new developments that could otherwise Page 732 of 821 construct usable square footage in an efficient and practical manner. Onerous requirements on the number of stories a project may incorporate can also take away from flexible site design and deter projects on smaller or sloped lots, which conflicts with the General Plan policies related to infill development. It should also be noted that the MXT zone, which was intended to be a transition to lower density residential zones, allows for up to four stories even though it has a lesser maximum height of 45 feet. With an additional five feet of height limit, it is not expected that allowing four stories in the MXC-1 and MXD-1 zones will be any more impactful. With no changes to maximum height (in feet), floor area, or density, there will be no increase to the amount of building area granted. All projects will be required to meet the development standards in the zone that contribute to the MXC-1 and MXD-1 zones character. Findings There are two findings required for approval of a Code Amendment: (1) – consistency with the General Plan: and (2) compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (1) General Plan Consistency The proposal to amend Table 18.24.040A and Table 18.24.040D is consistent with General Plan Policy LU-5.4 and Policy H 2.1 due to increasing the likelihood of development of in-fill lots and promoting development of underutilized land by providing greater design flexibility for small lots and lots with topographic challenges. Policy H 2.1: Promote residential development on underutilized land and remove barriers to infill development. Policy LU-5.4: Encourage and incentivize strategic adaptive reuse and infill development of vacant land in commercial and mixed-use areas. (2) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) The ordinance being proposed is considered exempt from CEQA because it is not a project as defined in Section 15378. No increase in density, height (in feet), or additional permissions will be granted and there would therefore be no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Summary Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval to amend the code sections related to maximum height and number of stories in the MXC-1 and MXD-1 zones to allow four stories. The amendment provides greater design flexibility for properties to be developed to their maximum potential, conforming with General Plan Policies. The change also improves consistency with other zones throughout the City. The recommendation of the Planning Commission has been provided above. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: An application fee of $5,500 was paid with the submittal of the subject Code Amendment. Fees are anticipated to cover the cost of staff review time and processing of the permit. RELATED CITY COUNCIL 2020-2025 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: Housing and Community Development ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This is not a project under CEQA, and is therefore, not subject to environmental review.

PASSED and ADOPTED this ____ day of ________, 2025. __________________________ Ron Morrison, Mayor ATTEST: _____________________________ Shelley Chapel, MMC, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: _____________________________ Barry J. Schultz, City Attorney Page 739 of 821 AGENDA REPORT Department: Planning Prepared by: David Welch, Associate Planner Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 Approved by: Scott W. Huth, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consideration of Certification of a Negative Declaration for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change from Small Lot Residential (RS-2) to Minor Mixed-Use Corridor (MXC-1) for Properties Located at 3040, 3042-3046, 3102-3104, & 3106-3108 E RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Entitled: “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Certifying a Negative Declaration, Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), by Making a Finding of No Significant Environmental Effect and Approving a General Plan Amendment to Change the General Plan Land Use Designation from Low-Medium Density Residential to Low Mixed-Use for Properties Located at 3040, 3042-3046, 3102-3104, & 3106- 3108 East 16th Street and 1540 South Harbison Avenue.” and Introduce the Ordinance Entitled: “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Approving a Zone Change for Properties Located at 3040, 3042-3046, & 3106-3108 East 16th street and 1540 South Harbison Avenue Changing the Zone from Small Lot Residential (RS-2) to Minor Mixed-Use Corridor (MXC-1).” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: On August 18, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted a Resolution recommending approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and Zone Variance, subject to the Conditions in the Draft Resolution by a vote of 5-1. One Planning Commission seat is currently vacant. Ayes: Armenta, Castle, Miller, Sanchez, Valenzuela Nays: Quinones EXPLANATION: Executive Summary The applicant is proposing to develop a property at 3040 East 16th Street with a five-unit multi-family residential building. The proposed development requires the existing single-family zoning to be changed to a zone that permits multi-family dwellings and a variance to allow for a reduced street wall to accommodate a two-way driveway on the property. The variance was approved by Planning Commission and will be forwarded to the City Council separately as a Notice of Decision. For Page 740 of 821 consistency with the existing development pattern and zoning in the area, the applicant has included neighboring properties with the request. This type of change requires a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zone Change (ZC). The developer has applied for and has requested the changes. The Planning Commission recommended approval by Resolution of both requests at the August 18, 2025 meeting. The applicant’s property is currently vacant and suitable for infill development. While the property could potentially be subdivided under the current zoning designation, the requested General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would allow for a multi-unit residential development on the property that is consistent with General Plan policies related to infill development and expanding housing opportunities. While the surrounding area is predominantly low density, single-family residential in character, the properties in close proximity to the applicant’s property are consistent with the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone district. The inclusion of the four neighboring properties with this request expands this district in a logical manner and provides for corridor development in close proximity to an existing transit route. This report serves as background for all components of the request. Site Characteristics The applicant intends to develop a 0.45-acre property located in the Small Lot Residential (RS-2) zone at 3040 East 16th Street. The block of East 16th Street, between South Lanoitan Avenue and Rachael Avenue, is unique in that it is bounded to the south by an undeveloped or “paper” street – East 17th Street. The applicant’s property is 66 feet wide and 295 feet deep, but has no useable right- of-way access at the rear. Most of the properties with frontage along East 17th Street have not made the necessary dedications for the right-of-way to be improved making it infeasible to utilize this frontage. In addition, the applicant’s property and the surrounding area generally slopes up to the east and down toward East 17th Street. The front of the applicant’s property is also a few feet higher than East 16th Street. In addition to the applicant’s property, four neighboring properties in the RS-2 zone are included in the request for the ZC. All four additional property owners provided support for the request. The purpose for the inclusion is for consistency with the requested zone, Minor, Mixed-Use Corridor (MXC-1), and the creation of a cohesive district. All properties are also in close proximity to MTS bus stops at East 16th and South Harbison Avenue, which contribute to potential corridor development. Each property is currently occupied by a use that would currently be considered non-conforming in the RS-2 zone. These four additional properties were zoned Limited Commercial and RS-3 under the previous code. The additional properties are as follows: 3042-3046 East 16th Street 3102-3104 East 16th Street 3106-3108 East 16th Street 1540 South Harbison Avenue 3042-3046 East 16th Street and the adjacent 3102-3104 East 16th Street are currently occupied by multi-family residential buildings, which are not permitted within the RS-2 zone. The structures are considered legal, non-conforming. The applicant’s property is adjacent to 3042-3046 East 16th Street and is proposed to have a similar development. 3102-3104 East 16th Street is also occupied by a legal, non-conforming multi-family residential use, which takes up the majority of the lot; 3106-3108 East 16th Street is a mixed-use property with a legal, non-conforming liquor store and Page 741 of 821 attached housing unit; 1540 South Harbison Avenue is across East 16th Street from the other properties and is occupied by a legal, non-conforming preschool. The applicant’s proposal for a zone change would expand an existing MXC-1 district to the south of the aforementioned properties across the undeveloped East 17th Street right-of-way. The current boundaries of this district are East 17th Street to the north, Rachael Avenue to the east, East 19th Street to the south, and Interstate 805 to the west. Proposed Use The applicant intends to construct a five-unit, multi-family dwelling on the property located at 3040 East 16th Street. Multi-unit dwellings are not permitted in the RS-2 zone and the applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment to the Medium, Mixed-Use designation and a Zone Change to the MXC-1 zone, which would permit the use. Should the property be re-zoned, the development would need to conform to all applicable standards of the zone as well as other applicable codes. The applicant is also requesting a variance for less than the required street wall to accommodate a two-way driveway along East 16th Street, which will be forwarded to the City Council as a Notice of Decision at an upcoming meeting. Also of note, the Fire Department has identified requirements related to fire access that would restrict the location and height of proposed structure on the site. The applicant is only proposing a two-story building with five units to comply with comments provided by the Fire Department. No additional development is proposed for the other four properties in this request. However, the change in zoning could potentially allow for additional land uses or future development proposals in conformance with the standards of the proposed zone. Analysis When considering a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, the City Council must take into account the surrounding land uses and neighborhood makeup, as well as consistency with the General Plan and other governing documents. To describe the neighborhood makeup, it would be helpful to look at the densities of the properties within their existing use categories starting with the predominant land use: single-family residential. Staff examined several blocks including and adjacent to the project area and had the following findings: The south side of East 16th Street, between South Lanoitan Avenue and Rachael Avenue, has an average lot size of 14,003 square feet resulting in a density of 3.1 dwelling units per acre. The block face is currently zoned RS-2. The north side of East 18th Street, between South Lanoitan Avenue and Rachael Avenue, has an average lot size of 13,607 square feet resulting in a density of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. The block face is currently zoned MXC-1. The north side of East 16th Street, between South Lanoitan Avenue and Rachael Avenue, has an average lot size of 8,471 square feet resulting in a density of 5.3 dwelling units per acre. The block comprised of the east side of Earle Drive and the west side of Harbison Avenue has an average lot size of 8,921 square feet resulting in a density of 5 dwelling units per acre. Page 742 of 821 The east side of Harbison Avenue, between East Plaza Boulevard and East 16th Street has an average lot size of 17,368 square feet resulting in a density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre. The land use designation Low-Medium Density Residential allows for residential development of up to nine dwelling units per acre. The current development pattern in the area, excluding multi- family and commercial uses, conforms with, and is below the prescribed density of this General Plan designation as well as the standards of the RS-2 zone. The RS-2 zone generally allows one single-family residence per lot, although State law provides for opportunities to add up to three additional units. There are relatively few properties occupied by commercial uses within the area. These include the liquor store and preschool within the area proposed for the Zone Change, a small office property located at the corner of East 16th Street and Rachael Avenue, and another liquor store and SDG&E substation located on South Lanoitan Avenue, between East 17th Street and East 18th Street. Most commercial land uses in the area are located half a mile to the north along East Plaza Boulevard. It is notable that the applicant’s proposal would incorporate two of the three commercial properties within the RS-2 zone within the proposed Zone Change. Should this area be rezoned, they would also comply with the maximum floor area ratio requirement. Finally, the area also has a few properties that are currently occupied by m ulti-unit residential properties. The only existing multi-family properties in the RS-2 zone with three or more units are included in the proposed area for the Zone Change. Approximately seven properties along East 18th Street in the MXC-1 zone have at least three units. The General Plan land use designation for this area, Medium-Mixed Use, as well as the zone district allow for up to 48 dwelling units per acre. The site with the most units and the highest density in the area is located at 3103-3107 East 18th Street with 24 units and a density of 29 dwelling units per acre. This development is within the existing MXC-1 zone and below the permitted density. The two multi-family properties proposed within the zone change area have six and seven units and range from 14 to 15 dwelling units per acre. The applicant’s proposed project would have a density of approximately 11 dwelling units per acre. While the existing density of the surrounding blocks is much lower than most of National City, the applicant’s proposal is unique in that it intends to incorporate properties that are inconsistent with their current zone district, the RS-2 zone. The City has already, through the General Plan and Zoning Map, established a Minor, Mixed-Use Corridor district in the area that is heavily under- utilized from a development perspective. By adding five properties to this zone, there will be relatively little change to the overall character and makeup of the neighborhood. General Plan There are several General Plan Policies within the Housing and Land Use Elements that are pertinent to this proposal, specifically: Policy H-1.1: Provide an adequate supply of land zoned for residential development to meet the projected housing need. Page 743 of 821 Policy H-2.1: Promote residential development on underutilized land and remove barriers to infill development. Policy LU-2.1: Facilitate the development of a variety of housing types to meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocations while enhancing the City’s community character. Policy LU-3.1: Support the creation and expansion of mixed-use, commercial, and higher density residential development in transit priority areas and along mixed-use corridors. The applicant’s property is currently vacant and lacks the street frontage that would be required for a subdivision consisting of multiple lots. The proposed Zone Change would allow for a medium density infill project on a property that would otherwise be undeveloped or underutilized and increase the amount of land in the City zoned for this type of housing. The area already has some diversity with regard to residential housing types as well as commercial buildings – there are apartment buildings, businesses, and single-family residences that comprise the area in which the project is located. Adjacent to the site to the east and south are medium density apartments. The proposed expansion of the MXC-1 district will help promote the viability of this district as well as allow for more development in close proximity to public transit. Land Use Code The conceptual site plan provided by the applicant lacks the information needed to review for conformance with all aspects of Land Use Code. However, the proposed project does conform with most of the development standards related to a multi-unit development within the MXC-1 zone. The one exception to this is the street wall requirement for new development, which is 75%. The applicant would not be able to meet this requirement while providing access to the property with a two-way driveway and requested a Zone Variance to accommodate a driveway for the proposed development, which will be forwarded to the City Council as a Notice of Decision. Mailing All property owners and occupants within a distance of 300 feet of the property are required to be notified of a public hearing for GPAs and ZCs. Notice of this public hearing was sent to 145 occupants and owners. Notices for the GPA and ZC were sent in advance of the notice for the ZV to accommodate a required 20-day noticing period for zone changes. As of the writing of this staff report, no public comments have been received. Three public comments were provided at the Planning Commission hearing, which are attached as Exhibit H. Finding for Approval The following finding is recommended for the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change: 1. The proposal is consistent with General Plan Policies H-1.1, H-2.1, LU-2.1 and LU-3.1 because the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would allow for an undeveloped and underutilized site to be developed with a residential infill project. The change would also promote the viability of the expanded MXC-1 zoning district. Finding for Denial The following finding is recommended by staff should the City Council deny the application: Page 744 of 821 1. The proposed development is not consistent with the General Plan, because the proposed use and expansion of the MXC-1 zone would be out of character with that of the surrounding area. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Considerations related to conversion of single-family residential to mixed-use zoning as well as infill development of vacant lots include potential impacts to the natural environment and the existing surrounding urban development. In order to analyze any potential impacts resulting from the Zone Change and proposed development, a CEQA checklist (Initial Study) was prepared. Of note, the checklist addressed air quality and GHG from the potential for new development, possible impacts to biological resources, noise, and traffic. Findings of no impact for these areas of concern were largely due to the lack of any natural habitat within the subject properties and the limits on new development in the area. The only vacant property in the area is constrained by access issues and can only support five new units. Thus, additional air quality, noise, and traffic issues are not anticipated. Based on the analyses presented in the attached CEQA checklist, it is concluded that the project: (a) would not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, impact the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause fish or wildlife population to drop below self -sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory; (b) would not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable; and, (c) would not have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. No significant impacts to the environment have been identified as a result of this project. Approval of the project is not expected to have any significant impacts, either long-term or short-term, nor will it cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. As such, it is expected that project implementation would have no impact with respect to these mandatory findings of significance. Because no mitigation is required, the CEQA document converts to a Negative Declaration (ND). The City established a 20-day public review and comment period from May 16, 2025 to June 15, 2025. During this period, the CEQA checklist (Initial Study or “IS”) was available for review. A Notice of Intent (NOI) for the ND was posted at City Hall. Negative Declaration Analysis In the CEQA checklist, there are four possible impacts: “Potentially Significant Impact”, “Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation”, “Less Than Significant Impact”, and “No Impact.” Almost all sections on the checklist had checkmarks for “No Impact.” The remaining two sections were related to general earthquake hazards in the City and had a checkmark for “Less Than Significant Impact.” The following are recommended findings for the certification of the Negative Declaration: 1. That the project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife Page 745 of 821 population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of Californ ia history or prehistory, because the properties are mostly developed and/or disturbed and there is no sensitive habitat on site. The vacant lot is currently devoid of permanent vegetation, save for a handful of mature invasive pepper trees. 2. That the project does not have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable, because the project includes both existing development that would have been evaluated for impacts at the time of development and an infill development site on a historically disturbed property. The area is surrounded by urban development. The existing improvements and development pattern can accommodate the project without causing any impacts to the environment or to existing services. 3. That the project does not have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, because the project includes both existing development and a proposed medium-density residential development comprised of only five units. Should the subject properties be fully redeveloped, the properties would generate less traffic than what exists currently. Therefore, there would be no impact on air quality either short- or long-term. 4. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA for which a Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared. The ND has determined that, the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment and that no mitigation is required. Comments The project was routed to the Engineering and Fire Departments at the time of the submittal for the initiation of the GPA and ZC requests. Comments were provided by the Fire Department. The applicant revised plans for the proposed multi-family development in accordance with the Fire comments. These comments were included as conditions of approval for the ZV, which willbe forwarded to the City Council as a Notice of Decision. Conditions of Approval Standard conditions of approval for development projects and Fire Department comments were included in the draft approval resolution for the ZV, which will be forwarded to the City Council as a Notice of Decision. GPA and ZC requests are generally passed by resolution without conditions. Summary The applicant’s property is currently vacant and suitable for infill development. While the property could potentially be subdivided under the current zoning designation, the requested General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would allow for a multi-unit residential development on the property that is consistent with General Plan policies related to infill development and expanding housing opportunities. While the surrounding area is predominantly low density, single-family residential in character, the properties in close proximity to the applicant’s property are consistent with the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone district. The inclusion of the four neighboring properties with this request expands this district in a logical manner and provides for corridor development in close proximity to an existing transit route.

Lanoitan Ave. and E. 18 th St. (MXC-1) Page 766 of 821 Staff Analysis – Surrounding Land Uses There are a few existing multi-unit residential properties. The only properties in the RS-2 zone in the vicinity with three or more units are included in the Zone Change request. The MXC-1 zone along E. 18th Street has several properties with three or more units. The General Plan land use designation of Medium, Mixed-Use allows up to 48 dwelling units per acre. The largest and most dense multi-family property in the vicinity has 24 units and a density of 29 dwelling units per acre. The two multi-family properties in the rezone have densities of 14 and 15 dwelling units per acre and would become conforming. The applicant’s request incorporates properties that are inconsistent with their current zone, RS-2. There would be minimal change to the area with the rezone. Page 767 of 821 Staff Analysis – General Plan Several General Plan policies are related to this request including: Policy H 1.1: Provide an adequate supply of land zoned for residential development to meet the projected housing need. Policy H 2.1: Promote residential development on underutilized land and remove barriers to infill development. Policy LU 2.1: Facilitate the development of a variety of housing types to meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocations while enhancing the City’s community character. Policy LU 3.1: Support the creation and expansion of mixed-use, commercial, and higher density residential development in transit priority areas and along mixed-use corridors The applicant’s property is currently vacant and lacks the necessary street frontage to develop lots. Property would otherwise go undeveloped or underutilized. Proposal promotes the viability of the MXC-1 district in the area by allowing for development near public transit. Page 768 of 821 Staff Analysis – Land Use Code The proposal by the applicant is conceptual at this stage. Conforms with most development standards related to a multi-unit project within the MXC-1 zone. 75% street wall requirement is not met. Applicant opted to request a Zone Variance to allow the property to be served by a two-way driveway. Page 769 of 821 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) An Initial Study (IS) checklist was prepared for the General Plan and Zone Change amendments Staff is recommending certification of a Negative Declaration based on the results of the IS The requested Zone Variance was not included in the IS. Staff is recommending a categorical exemption (Class 32, In-Fill Development). Items are being considered under separate resolution. GPA, ZC, and ND ZV and determination of a categorical exemption Page 770 of 821 Summary Applicant’s property is currently vacant and suitable for infill development While the current RS-2 zone would allow a subdivision, it may be impractical and the requested General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would allow a multi-unit residential development consistent with General Plan policies. The surrounding area is vastly comprised of low density, single-family housing, but the properties is close proximity to this request are consistent with the requested Minor, Mixed-Use Corridor zone. The inclusion of the neighboring properties with the request would expand the district in a logical manner and provide for development in close proximity to existing public transit.

PROJECT PROPONENT:Sushmitha Kudari ZONING DESIGNATION: Small Lot Residential (RS-2) PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is proposing to develop the property at 3040 East 16th Street with a five-unit multi-family residential building. The proposed development requires the existing single-family zoning to be changed to a zone that permits multi-family dwellings. This requires a General Plan land use designation change from Low Density Residential to Low Mixed-Use and a zone change from RS-2 (Small Lot Residential) to MXC-1 (Minor Mixed Use Corridor). Medium consistency with the existing development pattern and zoning in the area, the applicant has included five neighboring properties with this request. While not affecting the content of this Initial Study, the applicant is also applying for a Zone Variance for less than required street frontage. The MXC-1 zone requires a minimum of 75 percent of the building frontage be constructed within 10 feet of the front property line. However, due to the narrow width of the property (66 feet) and the requirement for a 20-foot driveway width, this would not be possible; therefore the applicant is requesting the variance. The current residential density in the area proposed to be rezoned is six units per acre. There are 14 existing units on the subject properties where 21 would be allowed under the current RS-2 zoning (not including additional or bonus units permitted by state code). With the expected additional five units, the expected short term residential density would be eight units per acre, which is still less than what the area is currently zoned for. All of the subject properties were previously zoned Limited Commercial (CL). This zoning allowed up to 22.7 units per acre, but was supplanted by the RS-2 zone in 2011 as part of a General Plan and Land Use Code update at that time. The southern half of the East 16th Street properties are adjacent to East 17th Street, which is a paper street and EXHIBIT G Page 784 of 821 Initial Study - Page 2 of 19 not improved (it appears as a dirt road). Therefore, no emergency access is available from East 17th Street. As a result, any development on the 16th Street properties located more than 150 feet from the street would require a Fire Department turnaround. This necessitates a minimum lot width of 70 feet, where all the lots on 16th Street are no wider than 66 feet. As such, only the front 150 feet of each property is developable without combining lots and redeveloping existing structures, effectively halving the allowable density of the lots. Due to topography, cost, and intervening structures, the likelihood of East 17th Street being improved is next to zero. The only caveat would be as part of a community or specific plan being created that would allow for reconfiguration of the properties abutting East 17th Street and a wholistic development plan being implemented . This Initial Study is related to the General Plan Land Use designation and Zone change portion of the project only. 7. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND SETTING: The project site is mostly surrounded by low-medium density residential uses at approximately half the allowable density in the RS-2 zone (9 units per acre). There are a handful of properties occupied by commercial uses within the area, including a liquor store, a preschool, a small office building, and a utility substation. Three of the noted commercial properties are in the RS-2 zone and are considered legal nonconforming. If the zone is changed, these properties would be considered conforming and would also comply with the maximum floor area ratio requirement of the MXC-1 zone. 8. OTHER AGENCIES WHOSE APPROVAL MAY BE REQUIRED (AND PERMITS NEEDED): N/A ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact” or is “Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated,” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. Aesthetics Agriculture and Forestry Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology / Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards & Hazardous Materials Hydrology / Water Quality Land Use / Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population / Housing Public Services Recreation Transportation / Traffic Utilities / Service Systems Mandatory Findings of Significance Page 785 of 821 Initial Study - Page 3 of 19 DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this Initial Evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a “potentially significant impact” or is “potentially significant unless mitigated.” An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effect that remains to be addressed. Signature Date May 15, 2025 Printed Name: Martin Reeder, AICP Title: Asst. Director of Community Development ~ Page 786 of 821 Initial Study - Page 4 of 19 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to the project. A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved. Answers should address off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence than an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. “Negative Declaration: Less than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated” applied where the incorporation of a mitigation measure has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to “Less then Significant Impact”. The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. 5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). References to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8. This in only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project’s environmental effects in whichever format is selected. 9. The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

(Sources: 1, 2, 3) x d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime Views in the area? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The project area is comprised of six properties, four of which are developed. The six properties are surrounded by other existing urban development. There are no scenic vistas or resources in the area that would be affected by the project. The vacant property has a handful of mature invasive pepper trees, which are required to be preserved and, if removed, replaced by equal size and quality trees; therefore, no impact. II – AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation & Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non- agricultural use? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x Page 788 of 821 Initial Study - Page 6 of 19 b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The City of National City does not contain farmland or agricultural resources, forest land, nor any land zoned for agricultural use. As such, approval of this project will have no impact on such lands or resources. III – AIR QUALITY Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? (Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4) x d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The City does not have any applicable air quality plan or standards that would apply in this case. Air quality is under the purview of the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District. The County of San Diego and National City are in attainment for all California Clean Air Act (CCAA) pollutants with the exception of ozone. Approval of this project will not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the San Diego County Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) to manage air quality in our region. The prescribed density of the project area (all six parcels) would allow up to 112 residential units if completely redeveloped. The two Page 789 of 821 Initial Study - Page 7 of 19 vacant parcels total approximately 0.7 acres, which would allow up to 32 units. With the development limitations on the properties, only five units are expected to be constructed in the short term, which would not trigger any threshold for a focused traffic study or traffic impact analysis. Additionally, the potential traffic generated by the maximum residential development on these six properties (112) would generate less traffic than what is on the properties currently; therefore no impact. IV – BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? (Sources: 5) x b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? (Sources: 6) x c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? (Sources: 5, 6) x d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? (Sources: 5) x e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? (Sources: 1) x f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? (Sources: 1) x Four of the six properties are developed and disturbed residential or commercial properties, which do not have habitat of any kind. The vacant lot (3040 East 16th Street) is currently devoid of permanent vegetation, save for a handful of mature invasive pepper trees, which will be preserved or replaced by equal quality specimens. There are no adopted habitat conservation plans within the City of National City and no riparian or wetland habitats identified; therefore, no impact. Page 790 of 821 Initial Study - Page 8 of 19 V – CULTURAL RESOURCES Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? (Sources: 3, 7) x b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to 15064.5? (Sources: 3, 7) x c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? (Sources: 3) x d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? (Sources: 3) x No historical or archaeological resources as defined in Section 15064.5 are known to exist on the proposed project site. However, there is one previously recorded cultural resource within a half-mile radius of the project area and two previously recorded historical structures within a half-mile radius of the project area. Even with the number of cultural resources recorded within a half-mile radius of the project area, there is a very low likelihood of encountering unrecorded cultural resources within the project area at such time as any construction takes place. Four of the six properties are developed and disturbed residential or commercial properties. The vacant lot (3040 East 16th Street) was previously developed with a single-family residence, which was demolished in 1977; therefore, no impact. VI – GEOLOGY AND SOILS Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. (Sources: 8) x ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? (Sources: 8) x iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? (Sources: 8) x iv) Landslides? (Sources: 8) x b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? (Sources: 2, 8) x c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? (Sources: 8) x Page 791 of 821 Initial Study - Page 9 of 19 d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? (Sources: 8) x e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? (Sources: 8) x California Geological Survey information indicates that, while within a half-mile of a quaternary fault (part of La Nacion Fault Zone), the site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone, and there are no known active or potentially active faults that intercept the project site; therefore, the potential for ground rupture at this site is considered low. The nearest active fault to the site is the La Nacion Fault, located approximately a mile to the northeast. Accordingly, the site is not considered to possess a significantly greater seismic risk than that of the surrounding area in general. The site is not within an area susceptible to landslides and not within a fault zone, slide prone area or an area susceptible to liquefaction; therefore there is no impact or increased exposure to landslides due to the proposed project. It should be recognized that Southern California is an area that is subject to some degree of seismic risk and that it is generally not considered economically feasible nor technologically practical to build structures that are totally resistant to earthquake-related hazards. Construction in accordance with the minimum requirements of the Uniform Building Code should minimize damage due to seismic events. Due to the number and nature of the active and non-active fault lines within the southern California region, it cannot be known when earthquakes will occur; therefore, there is a less than significant impact. Any future design and construction would require conformance with City’s stormwater ordinance and grading regulations. Therefore, there is no impact or increased substantial erosion due to the proposed project. The existing developed parcels are connected to traditional sewer laterals, which connect with the existing sewer system that serves the City. Any future design and construction would connect to the same system. There would be no use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems; therefore, no impact. VII – GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? (Sources: 1, 9, 10) x b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? (Sources: 1,9, 10) x GHG emissions contribute, on a cumulative basis, to the significant adverse environmental impacts of global climate change. No single project could generate enough GHG emissions to noticeably change the global average temperature. The combination of GHG emissions from past, present, and future projects contributes substantially to the phenomenon of global climate change and its associated environmental impacts and as such is addressed only as a cumulative impact. With the development limitations on the properties, only five units are expected to be constructed in the short term; therefore no impact. However, any future construction of the density likely in a currently developed area, and with six individually small properties, would occur over a short construction duration and would consist primarily of emissions from equipment exhaust. There would also be long-term regional emissions associated with project-related new vehicular trips and indirect source emissions, such as energy usage. Page 792 of 821 Initial Study - Page 10 of 19 The construction of five units in the short term would not create noticeable GHG emissions (30 ADT increase). Additionally, the potential traffic generated by the maximum residential development on these six properties (112) would generate less traffic than what is on the properties currently; therefore no impact. California has adopted several policies and regulations for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. On December 11, 2008, CARB adopted the AB 32 Scoping Plan to achieve the goals of AB 32 that establishes an overall framework for the measures that will be adopted to reduce California’s GHG emissions. The proposed project is subject to compliance with AB 32, which is designed to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. In April 2015, Executive Order B-30-15 was signed, which established a new GHG emissions reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. In addition, in 2024 the City of National City adopted its Climate Action Plan and associated targets to reduce GHG emissions by 40 percent below 2018 levels by 2030 and 80 percent of 2018 levels by 2050. Some of the primary provisions of the Climate Action Plan are to promote greater density and infill development, water conservation, energy efficiency, and waste reduction strategies. The proposed project would not conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHG emissions, as contained in the Climate Action Plan. Based on the above, therefore no impact. VIII – HAZARDS & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? (Sources: 1) x b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? (Sources: 1) x c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? (Sources: 1) x d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? (Sources: 1) x e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (Sources: 1) x f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (Sources: 1) x g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (Sources: 1) x h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? (Sources: 1) x Page 793 of 821 Initial Study - Page 11 of 19 The existing project area is developed with 14 residential units on six properties, as well as a liquor store and a preschool. No transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials is expected, due to no additional construction at this time other than five residential units on a currently vacant property. At such time as the vacant lot is developed, the five additional residences would still be consistent with the currently prescribed density of the RS-2 zone, although more density would be permitted through changing to the MXC-1 zone. However, with the limitations on density due to Fire Department access, no additional units are realistically expected. Therefore, there will not be any reasonably foreseeable upset or accident condition involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. The project is not expected to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste in general, and is not within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The site is already mostly developed and future development would be residential in nature. The site is not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. As a result the project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. Therefore, there would be no impact. There is no adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan in the City, although there are local considerations that are included as appendices to the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization approved Annex Q of the Operational Area Emergency Plan. The project does not conflict with any of the considerations or plans in the Area Emergency Plan, thus no conflict. The site is not on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5; There are no airports or airstrips in the vicinity; the project would not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan; and the project is not adjacent to any wildlands or land subject to wildland fires; therefore there would not be any significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildfires. Therefore, there is no impact. IX – HYDROLOGY / WATER QUALITY Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? (Sources: 1) x b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? (Sources: 1) x c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? (Sources: 1, 3, 6, 7) x d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? (Sources: 1, 3) x e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? (Sources: 1) x f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? (Sources: 1) Page 794 of 821 Initial Study - Page 12 of 19 x g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? (Sources: 1) x h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? (Sources: 1) x i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? (Sources: 1) x j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? (Sources: 1) x The project area is comprised of six properties, four of which are developed, and one previously disturbed/developed. At such time as the five-unit apartment project is proposed, the project will be subject to water quality and discharge requirements through the City’s Jurisdictional Runoff Management Plan (JRMP). Future design of the potential five-unit apartment project, and any other future development, will require compliance with all storm water handling, storage, drainage, and hydromodification regulations. The property is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area or an area influenced by any levee or dam failure, seiche, tsunami, or mudflow; therefore, no impact. X – LAND USE AND PLANNING Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Physically divide an established community? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? (Sources: 1, 2, 6) x c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? (Sources: 1, 2) x The site is surrounded by existing mixed density residential development, including apartment buildings as dense or denser than what would be permitted by any potential rezoning. The existing density already allows for up to 21 units and only five would be constructed under potential short term future conditions. This is less than what the area is currently zoned for. In the event that the properties to be rezoned are all developed at their maximum allowable density, this would result in 112 units (98 new units). Given that the back halves of the 16th Street properties (five of the six properties) are practically undevelopable, the expected maximum density would be in the neighborhood of 30 units, which is less than the average density of the area (there are six apartment buildings located to the south and east of the project area. Because of the mixed and multi- family nature of the area, there would be no impact to an established community. There are no applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plans in the City, therefore no impact. Page 795 of 821 Initial Study - Page 13 of 19 XI – MINERAL RESOURCES Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? (Sources: 1) x b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? (Sources: 1) x The project site is located completely within an urbanized area and surrounded by development. The site contains no known mineral resources on the proposed project site or delineated on a local plan for the site; therefore, there is no impact to mineral resources. XII – NOISE Would the project result in: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? (Sources: 1) x d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The proposed project area is in an urbanized area and is a residential use in an area of mostly residential development. No construction is proposed at this time, although rezoning of the property will likely lead to the construction of five new residentials in the near future. Any new units themselves are not expected to generate any additional ambient noise in this area. Furthermore, any development is subject to the limitations contained in the City’s Noise Ordinance; therefore, no impacts are expected. Any associated construction in the future on the project site would create temporary noise impacts. Modern construction equipment, properly used and maintained, should not exceed the noise limits contained in the City’s Noise Ordinance. All noise generated by the project would be required to comply with the City’s Noise Page 796 of 821 Initial Study - Page 14 of 19 Ordinance and be limited to specific hours of operation. No significant impact from the project would occur. The proposed project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public use airport or private airstrip; therefore, there is no impact to those people working on the project site. XIII – POPULATION AND HOUSING Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? (Sources: 1, 2, 3, 14) x b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The property is currently zoned for a residential density of nine units per acre. The current actual residential density is six units per acre. There are 14 existing units on the subject properties where 21 would be allowed (not including additional or bonus units permitted by state code). With the expected additional five units, the expected short term residential density would be eight units per acre, which is still less than what the area is currently zoned for. Because the southern half of the East 16th Street properties are not developable without providing Fire Department turnaround (which is not feasible under the current scenario) or improving East 17th Street (which is also unlikely due to the reasons outlined in the project description), the maximum density would not result in substantial population growth. In the event that the properties to be rezoned are all developed at their maximum allowable density, which would result in 112 units (98 new units), this would not be considered to be substantial population growth, in that the average people per household in the City is 3.122, more than County average of 2.74. Extrapolated to account for up to 98 additional units, this would be a potential total of 306 additional residents (assuming these would be new residents moving in to the City), an increase of a half percent of today’s current population of approximately 55, 236; therefore no impact. In the unlikely event that all residential properties rezoned are converted to purely commercial land use, the total number of units removed would be 14. This would equate to a potential displacement of 44 residents, which would not be considered a substantial number (0.8% of the current population); therefore no impact. XIV – PUBLIC SERVICES Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance Page 797 of 821 Initial Study - Page 15 of 19 objectives for any of the public services: Fire protection? (Sources: 1, 3) x Police protection? (Sources: 1, 3) x Schools? (Sources: 1, 3) x Parks? (Sources: 1, 3) x Other public facilities? (Sources: 1, 3) x The proposed project would not result in any impacts to public services, as no construction is proposed beyond the existing City limits and within an established neighborhood. Additionally, only two lots are vacant, with one being currently developable. Any redevelopment would replace existing uses and not have a significant effect on existing volumes of calls for service. The project site is currently and will continue to be served by the National City Fire and Police Departments. The closest Fire Station is approximately one-and-a- half miles away on East 4th Street, and the Police Station at 12th Street and National City Boulevard is approximately two miles away. Typical response time for this area would not be adversely impacted, as plans do not involve changes to public streets adjacent to the site. Any potential development of new residential or commercial uses will generate impact fees specifically slated for public services that will supplement any additional requirements brought about by said development; therefore, there is no impact. Park and school fees will also be paid as part of potential development to offset any increase in need generated by the project, thus no impact. XV – RECREATION Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x There are two parks (El Toyon and Las Palmas) within a mile of the project, which are currently underutilized and able to accommodate potential use by the potential addition of five new families that could be expected in the near term. Any future development would be subject to park fees to offset any increase in need generated by the project. Therefore, there would be no impact. Page 798 of 821 Initial Study - Page 16 of 19 XVI – TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? (Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 15) x b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? (Sources: 1, 2, 3, 15) x d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x e) Result in inadequate emergency access? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x There are no plans, ordinances, or policies that measure circulation system current effectiveness or performance, thus no impact. There is also no congestion management program that the project would conflict with. This segment of East 16th Street (Euclid Avenue to Harbison Avenue) has a project 2030 ADT (Average Daily Trip) rate of 8,300 and a capacity of 10,000 ADT. In 2030, the segment is expected to operate at a Level of Service (LOS) of D. According to trip generation rates published by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), five new units could be expected to generate another 30 vehicle trips per day, which would not exceed the proposed (2030) maximum capacity; therefore, no impact. No change in road design is proposed which would cause a safety risk or hinder emergency access. Potential development would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities, as there are no such activities existing or planned in this area; therefore, no impact. With regard to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), the project would screen out of VMT analysis related to CEQA, as the potential traffic generated by the maximum residential development on these six properties (112) would generate less traffic than what is on the properties currently. This is due to a preschool/childcare and liquor store on two of the properties. The liquor store (neighborhood market) in particular generates a Page 799 of 821 Initial Study - Page 17 of 19 significant amount of traffic. Redevelopment to a mixed use style of development would also screen out, as the minimum project size would need to be five acres, where the total of all six properties in this case is 2.3 acres. XVII – UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? (Sources: 1, 11) x b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? (Sources: 1, 12) x c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? (Sources: 1, 12) x d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? (Sources: 1, 12) x e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? (Sources: 1, 12) x f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs? (Sources: 1, 12) x g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? (Sources: 1, 12) x Any potential project would be designed and constructed using Best Management Practices (BMPs) to appropriately handle wastewater and not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board; therefore, there is no impact. The existing property is located within an urbanized area and served by existing water facilities. There is an existing 16-inch PVC water main in the East 16th Street right-of-way that services the property. Also, all necessary improvements would be included with potential development and project approval and construction would be undertaken in accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations; therefore, there would be no impact. The existing area is served by EDCO, the local waste collection and recycle company. EDCO has a contract with the City to handle City residents’ waste disposal and recycling needs. According to EDCO staff, the company utilizes several landfill sites for the disposal of waste collected in National City, with the most common being Otay Mesa, Sycamore, and Miramar Landfills, with an additional 12, 26 and 9 years of capacity remaining respectively; therefore, there is a less than significant impact. There are two other landfill sites in San Diego County – the Ramona landfill, which is full, and Borrego Springs landfill, which has an additional 30 years capacity remaining. In addition, potential development be required to comply with all Page 800 of 821 Initial Study - Page 18 of 19 federal, state, and local statues and regulations related to solid waste. XVIII – MANDATORY FINDINGS of SIGNIFICANCE Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? (Sources: 1) x b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? (Sources: 1) x c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? (Sources: 1) x Discussion: No significant impacts to the environment as a result of this project have been identified. Approval of the project is not expected to have any significant impacts, either long-term or short-term, nor will it cause substantial adverse effect on human beings, either directly or indirectly.

The applicant is proposing to develop the property at 3040 East 16th Street with a five-unit multi-family residential building. The proposed development requires the existing single-family zoning to be changed to a zone that permits multi-family dwellings. For consistency with the existing development pattern and zoning in the area, the applicant has included five neighboring properties with this request. This type of change also requires a General Plan Amendment to change the Land Use from Low-Medium Density Residential to Medium Mixed-Use. The City conducted an Environmental Initial Study that determined the proposed project would not have a potentially significant environmental impact and qualifies for a Negative Declaration per Section 15071 of the CEQA Guidelines. Information is available for review at the City’s Planning Division, City Hall, 1243 National City Blvd., during normal business hours. Anyone interested in this matter may appear at the above time and place and be heard. The City Council will also accept written public comments regarding this matter. Written comments or testimony from the public must be submitted via e-mail to publiccomment@nationalcityca.gov by 2:00 P.M. on the day of the City Council Meeting. For information on registering to provide public comment via Zoom please visit the City Clerk’s webpage at https://www.nationalcityca.gov/government/city- clerk/public-comments If you challenge the nature of the proposed action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the Public Hearing described in this notice via e-mail, or through written correspondence delivered to the undersigned prior to the Public Hearing. Shelley Chapel, MMC, City Clerk Published in the Star News: Friday, August 22, 2025 EXHIBIT H Page 803 of 821 From:Ema Letuli To:Planning Commission Subject:Public Hearing for 3040 East 16th St building Date:Monday, June 30, 2025 3:06:15 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To Whom it May Concern: I live at 2945 E. 16th St and we already have an issue with parking. A lot of times people from the condos or the apartments park on Earle Dr or here on 16th St. With 5 units going in, that will possibility require at least 10 parking spots, 2 per unit. I hope that will be provided on their property. If these are 2 story units, the neighbor stands to lose all of their privacy. Thanks, Ema Letuli Item 3. Public Comment EXHIBIT I Page 804 of 821 From:Beverly C Bingham To:Planning Commission Subject:public hearing 8/18/2025 3040 E 16th Street National City, CA Date:Monday, August 18, 2025 7:25:43 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Rezoning this property to allow multiple units is not in the best interest of the neighborhood. When you look at housing in this area of National City you will see that for blocks along E 16th St west to Euclid, So Harbison E 16th Street north to Plaza Blvd and Earle Dr. E 16th St north to Harbison it consists primarily of single family homes. By adding additional units at this location it will cause more traffic in an already congested area. It is also likely to add additional vehicles parking on the streets. That is already a challenge given the excess of cars from the apartment building and the condominium units just east of this location. On any given day cars are left for days without being moved causing issues for the local homeowners. Lastly if this project is approved and rezoning takes place I would hope that genuine consideration be given to the fact that any structure above a single level will result in the complete loss of my privacy on the east side of my home. Thank you Beverly C Bingham Item 3.

Public Comment RECIEVED AFTER DEADLINE (AMENDED) Page 806 of 821 2025.08.18 Planning Commission – Item 3 Good Evening Commissioners, Values are very important to the Public, it can be easy to overlook the fundamental fact that the Public expects and deserves its public servants to serve the public’s interest – not private or political interests. Val ues are very important to the Public. As public officials you have to sort through competing considerations and determine “the right thing to do?” I would like to oppose the zone change on the grounds of negative impact and that it is non consistent and is out of character with the surrounding area. Being someone who resides in a residential community knows first hand what happens when there is mixed use spot zoning in a residential community. I have enclosed photos that show how spot zoning with mixed use will negatively impact a residential community. High density traffic Noise pollution Healthy & Safety risks Disturbing the peace requires extra law enforcement resources Please see attached photos Item 3.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for the rezoning of properties located at 3040, 3042-3046, 3102- 3104, & 3106-3108 East 16th Street and 1540 South Harbison Avenue from Small Lot Residential (RS-2) to Minor Mixed-Use Corridor (MXC-1), which included changing the General Plan Land Use Designation from Low-Medium Density Residential to Low Mixed-Use, at a duly advertised public hearing held on September 16, 2025, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report contained in Case File No. 2025-02 GPA, ZC, IS maintained by the City and incorporated herein by reference along with evidence and testimony at said hearing; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City initiated said applications at a duly advertised public hearing held on November 18, 2024, at which time the Commission considered oral and documentary evidence; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered the proposed Negative Declaration No. 2025-02 IS, together with any comments received during the public review process, and f ound on the basis of the whole record (including the Initial Study and any comments received) that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered said applications at a duly advertised public hearing held on August 18, 2025, at which time the Commission recommended approval of the General Plan Amendement and Zone Change; and WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State law and City law; and WHEREAS, the action hereby taken is found to be essential for the preservation of the public health, safety and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: That the evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing held on September 16, 2025, support the following findings: FINDINGS FOR CERTIFICATION OF THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION Page 813 of 821 1. That the project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory, because the properties are mostly developed and/or disturbed and there is no sensitive habitat on site. The vacant lot is currently devoid of permanent vegetation, save for a handful of mature invasive pepper trees. 2. That the project does not have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable, because the project includes both existing development that would have been evaluated for impacts at the time of development and an infill development site on a historically disturbed property. The area is surrounded by urban development. The existing improvements and development pattern can accommodate the project without causing any impacts to the environment or to existing services. 3. That the project does not have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, because the project includes both existing development and a proposed medium-density residential development comprised of only five units. Should the subject properties be fully redeveloped, the properties would generate less traffic than what exists currently. Therefore, there would be no impact on air quality either short- or long-term. 4. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA for which a Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared. The ND has determined that, the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment and that no mitigation is required. FINDING FOR APPROVAL OF THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 1. That the proposal is consistent with General Plan Policies H-1.1, H-2.1, LU-2.1 and LU- 3.1 because the proposed General Plan Amendment and associated Zone Change would allow for an undeveloped and underutilized site to be developed with a residential infill project. The change would also promote the viability of the expanded MXC-1 zoning district. Section 2: That the application for a General Plan Amendment of the aforementioned properties from Small Lot Residential (RS-2) to Minor Mixed-Use Corridor (MXC-1), subject to the following conditions: General 1. Within four (4) days of approval of this General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, pursuant to Fish and Game Code 711.4 and the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 753.5, the applicant shall pay all necessary environmental filing fees for the San Diego County Clerk. Checks shall be made payable to the County Clerk and submitted to the National City Planning Department. Indemnification Agreement Page 814 of 821 The Applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its agents, officers, and employees from any and all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, judgments, or costs, including attorney's fees, against the City or its agents, officers, or employees, relating to the issuance of this permit including, but not limited to, any action to attack, set aside, void, challenge, or annul this development approval and any environmental document or decision. The City will promptly notify the Applicant of any claim, action, or proceeding. The City may elect to conduct its own defense, participate in its own defense, or obtain independent legal counsel in defense of any claim related to this indemnification. In the event of such election, the Applicant shall pay all of the costs related thereto, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event of a disagreement between the City and Applicant regarding litigation issues, the City shall have the authority to control the litigation and make litigation related decisions, including, but not limited to, settlement or other disposition of the matter. However, the Applicant shall not be required to pay or perform any settlement unless such settlement is approved by the Applicant. Section 3: That the City Council hereby certifies the Negative Declaration and approves the General Plan Amendment for the properties located at 3040, 3042-3046, 3102- 3104, & 3106-3108 East 16th Street and 1540 South Harbison Avenue from small lot residential (RS-2) to minor mixed-use corridor (MXC-1), supported by the findings identified above. Section 4: The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of orginal Resolutions.
