Vukojevic, P.E., Director of Public Works /City Engineer SUBJECT: OCTOBER 17, 2004 -100 -YEAR STORM UPDATE - RECEIVE AND FILE SUMMARY OF REOUEST: Receive and file BACKGROUND: On October 17, 2004, the City experienced intense rainfall during the early morning hours. Several areas of the City experienced flooded streets and properties in the Old Town, Bridgeport, Cove and College Park East neighborhood also experienced flooding. Public Works and Police Personnel responded to the flooding issues as discussed in the attached memo to City Council dated October 19, 2004. Within that memo, information from the County was obtained indicating that the amount of water received within the short time frame was in excess of a 100 - year storm. By definition, a 100 -year storm, which is measured in terms of rainfall, is the amount of rain that has a 1 -in -100 (1 %) chance of falling at a certain place each year. Weather forecasts in the Orange County Register indicated that only a "drizzle" or "chance of showers" was forecasted. Orange County Sanitation District also stated that it was an "...unseasonable storm'. A Town Hall meeting was hosted by Mayor Paul Yost and Mayor Pro -Tem Charles Antos on October 21, 2004 to discuss the storm event and associated flooding. Over 100 people attended and the Public Works Department, Police Department and the County of Orange presented information regarding the storm event. The Assistant City Manager provided information for flood assistance and requested that persons who experienced flood damage, fill out a damage assessment card. Although, not complete or verified, the preliminary damage assessment is estimated at over $1,000,000. This infonmation was complied and sent to the County for further processing with FEMA. In an effort to reach out to the public, Public Works Staff contacted all of the persons who filled out a damage assessment card and those who filled out the sign -in sheet for the Town Hall meeting. Public Works offered to answer questions, provide additional information and asked that people talk to neighbors about filling out the damage assessment cards. 1 Agenda Item The City Manager's Office provided local residents and businesses with disaster assistance resources, including contact information for American Red Cross, Salvation Army, FEMA and Small Business Administration, claims procedures and other disaster preparation information. In terms of assistance to private citizens and local businesses, typical first resource is personal, property, renter, auto or flood insurance. If the State declares the area as a disaster, FEMA would work in conjunction with the County to establish local assistance offices. Uninsured individuals may be able to qualify for low interest FEMA loans. The Small Business Administration may also provide low interest loans to businesses. The American Red Cross and the Salvation Army are two non - profit agencies that can assist people who become homeless during a disaster. The American Red Cross in particular provides shelter assistance in the form of vouchers or running local shelter operations. Following the flooding, a local private daycare was in need of temporary housing. The Recreation Department coordinated assistance by relocating the daycare operation into the Senior Center for approximately a week while rearranging classes and programs with minimal disruption. In addition, staff has collected damage assessment information that has been forwarded to the County of Orange for inclusion in its regional report to the Governor's Office. This is vital information in helping establish whether the local flooding disaster will qualify for state and federal aid. Based on the State's Office of Emergency Services' threshold of qualifications, OES makes the determination whether or not a local disaster qualifies for state aid. State aid assists City's in recouping costs for emergency services and for assistance in repairing or fixing public facilities. It also triggers an ability to receive funding support through FEMA. This process does not provide immediate aid and is not a decision made on the local level. The City Manager's Office has also explored the possibility of other financial aid resources including the County of Orange and other non -profit organizations. However, at this time, staff has yet to identify any additional resources. Under a separate report to City Council, the City Manager's office is also requesting Council approval for a Street, Storm Drain, and Facility Improvement Committee which will give public input and information on funding mechanisms for Street, Storm Drain and Facility Improvements. City Staff has conducted an emergency preparedness meeting outlining further emergency details. The Public Works Department ordered additional street sweeping, cleaned debris from roadways and catch basins, coordinated with Consolidated to do additional trash pickups in the areas of flood damage, posted flood warning signs, and positioned barricades and cones for closing of roadways should it be necessary. Sand and sand bags have been positioned at 5 locations for residential use. Debris from the West End Pump Station debris grates were cleaned and removed. In the aftermath of the storm, Station 35 the City's sewer pump station located at Seal Beach Blvd. and Electric Avenue, next to the County's stormwater pump station did receive additional sewer greases and debris in its wet well. Although area residents were inferring that the pumps did not work and the staff was repairing them, the storm debris required additional storm debris cleaning and maintenance at the station. The Police Department and West -Comm have continued to refine the utilization of the Reverse 911 System. Enhancements have included verification that certain numbers are in fact on the call list for the Reverse 911 system, modifications in the outgoing messages, and implementation Agenda Item of a system that establishes a priority call list to make first calls to residents who have actually suffered flood damage or live in the flood plain, and then other residents who live in less vulnerable areas. The Police Department and West -Comm has also investigated costs associated with upgrading to additional phone lines, beyond the currently available eight lines. This improvement would enhance the timeframe for notifications made through the Reverse 911 system. Preliminary upgrade costs are estimated at a one -time upgrade of $7,000 to $10,000 and additional monthly fees are still being investigated. The City's West -Comm representative would need to approach the Agency regarding the additional expenditure of funds. In addition, the Police Department has contacted other agencies and vendors regarding siren - warning systems. Preliminary information indicates that a siren system including a studies by an acoustics engineer may range between $30,000 to $50,000 per location:,.-.and up to three locations may be recommended.

As a result of the intense rainfall, several different areas of the City experienced flooding. The flooding occured throughout the City, with the hardest hit areas being Old Town and College Park East. Specific areas where flooding was reported included Marina, PCH, Seal Beach Blvd, 300 Block of 15', Ironwood from Candleberry to Heather, Lampson, Old Ranch Road, Beryl Cove, 121f' Street, and Electric Avenue. The Director of Public Works, the City Manager, and six Public Works Personnel were called out. Staff began responding within minutes after the first alarms went off. The four Seal Beach Police units on duty were quickly overwhelmed with flood related problems. Additional part time staff were on site to assist with clean -up efforts after 6:30 am. The Police Department issued a sigalert traffic bulletin at 2:40 am advising that Pacific Coast Highway between Seal Beach Blvd. and 151 St. was flooded. This sigalert was cancelled at 4:16 am. Between the hours of 12:00 am and 8:00 am, West -Comm received a total of 322 telephone calls to their business lines and 31 calls on the emergency 911 lines. Approximately 100 of these calls were from Seal Beach. Seal Beach Public Works was first paged at 1:58 am for a high water alarm at the West End Pump Station adjacent to the Seal Beach Trailer Park. Between 12:00 am and 8:00 am Public Works was called by West -Comm 28 times over the Public Works radio frequency. Public Works employees responded to the West End Pump Station to find the pump station operating at full capacity with water levels continuing to rise. All pump stations have automatic turn -on features. After 4:00 am, one of the engines had high heat levels requiring it to shut down for a 30 minute cooling period. Water levels in the wet well were being maintained by the one pump at that time. Staff also received high water alarms at Station 35 sewer pump station and Adolfo Lopez sewer pump station. Staff responded immediately to Station 35, which is I of 3 adjacent to the County stormwater pump station. Staff noted that all three of the County pumps were operating at that time, approximately 2:45 am. Sewer Station 35 also received large amounts of sewage flow caused by rainwater infiltration and inflow into the system. All three sewer pumps were operating to keep up with the sewage flow. An unknown number of residents in the area of Seal Beach Blvd and Electric Ave, including 16`h St. and 17th Street were flooded in their homes. Residents on -site expressed concerns to City Staff, that the County pumps were not operational or were not turned on until Public Works Staff arrived on -site. (However, there appears to be some confusion in the community because residents assimilated the receding flood water with the fact that Public Works staff was on -site. Rain had nearly ceased at the same time.) Residents claimed that Public Works staff turned on pumps and that is when the water levels came down. With staff on -site, and the sewer pumps turning on, it is likely that the public perceived that staff turned on the storm pumps. However, this was not the case. Attachment "A" has been provided by the County of Orange detailing the rain and pumping events from the County stormwater pump station. All rainfall data indicates that the City received rainfall in excess of a 100 -year storm. By definition, a 100 -year storm, which is measured in terms of rainfall, is the amount of rain that has a 1 -in -100 (1 %) chance of falling at a certain place each year. The County pump station was upgraded in 1996 to provide a 25 -year peak flow pumping capacity. Questions have been asked if the pumps can operate during high tides. The County has indicated that the pumps were on at the appropriate times and high tides do not prohibit the discharge of pumped waters. Residents have also expressed concerns that temporary pumps could have been used to reduce the water flows. However, the temporary pump is rated at 2,000 to 3,000 gallons per minute would not likely help the situation. The West End Pump Station, which currently provides less than. a 5 -year peak flow pump capacity is currently being upgraded to a 25 -year peak flow pumping capacity. To ensure reliability, the Public Works Department has rehabilitated both engines and one of the pumps at the station. The Coastal Commission Permit and Army Corp permits are currently being pursued. It should be noted that both engines at that station were received from the County pump station and refurbished by the City. Several other areas in Seal Beach also experienced flooding, including: portions of Electric Avenue, Pacific Coast Highway, Marina Drive, First Street, Basswood, and Lampson Avenue. Public Works and Police Department staff responded to these locations as soon as possible to close roadways, post flooded signs, and remove debris entering and /or blocking storm drain catch basins. As part of the water quality practices on construction projects and as required by the storm drain system permit from the State Water Resources Control Board, the contractor on Marina Drive did have sandbags and fabric surrounding catch basins along Marina Drive. In addition, catch basin screens were also in -place at these locations. Public Works Staff removed these items during the coarse of the storm. However, these existing drainage facilities were not designed to provide 100 -year peak flow rates and resulting flooding did occur. In September and in early October, the Public Works Department removed catch basin screens, cleaned catch basins, and cleaned catch basin filters. Crews clean the catch basins between 2 to 4 times per year. Information from the catch basin filter 2of3 manufacturer indicates that in the event of very heavy flows, which exceed the design capacity of catch basin filters, excess water will flow over the inside edge of the filter rail into the overflow bypass area, and into the drainage system thereby bypassing the filters and maintaining heavy flows. The Reverse 911 system was activated on October 17, 2004, at 8:30 am. The decision to activate the system was based on information of a pending second storm off the coast. The Reverse 911 system was programmed to make telephonic notifications to all listed numbers in Old Town, the Hill, and College Park East. At approximately 12:30 pm, after making 1,016 calls, the system was deactivated, because the flood threat had subsided. Leisure World also suffered storm damage in the main flood control channel which runs in between Golden Rain Drive. Several areas of the channel experienced several large displacements, subsidence, and erosion beneath the walls of the channel. The City and County of Orange responded. The County of Orange is making temporary repairs today to prevent further erosion. They will schedule more permanent repairs this spring. In the interim, the lanes adjacent to the channel on Golden Rain Drive have been closed. In preparation for additional rain storm events, City Staff has conducted an emergency preparedness meeting outlining further emergency details. The Public Works Department has ordered additional street sweeping, cleaned debris from roadways and catch basins, coordinated with Consolidated to do additional trash pickups in the areas of flood damage, posted flood warning signs, and positioned barricades and cones for closing of roadways should it be necessary. The Police Department has also activated the Reverse 911 system alerting residents that further rain is expected and that sand and sand bags are available at 5 locations in the City.

Exact Location of Storm and Flooding An intense major Storm event occurred in the City of Seal Beach, south of Pacific Coast Highway in the vicinity of Electric and Ocean Avenues and flooded dwellings in the area. The flooded area included mostly two story multi -unit dwellings. II. Rainfall Data Rain gauges at the Seal Beach Pump Station located south of Pacific Coast Highway in the vicinity of Electric and Ocean Avenue and at the corner of Boise Chica Road /Rancho Road, adjacent to Anaheim City Barber Channel recorded the following peak rainfall data in inches: The most intense rainfall occurred between 12:25 a.m. and 1:40 a.m. on Sunday, October 17, 2004. Rain Gauge Data (inches) III. Level of Storm Event Preliminary analysis of the rainfall data indicates from rain gauges in the area, the storm exceeded the 100 -year level storm event. One of the rain gauges is located at the.Seal Beach Pump Station which is the pump station that drains the area of the flooding. The pump station and accompanying storm drain system is designed for a 25 -year level storm event. The area is mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to be in a floodplain zone indicating the area is susceptible to flooding and having less than a 100 -year level of flood protection. IV. Pump Station Data The three pumps at the Seal Beach Pump Station are each capable of discharging 55,000 gallons per minute for a total of 165,000 gallons per minute. The Pump Station data indicates the first pump at the Seal Beach facility began operating at 12:29 a.m., the second at 12:34 a.m. and the third at 12:59 a.m. The three pumps at the pump station operated at maximum capacity from 12:59 a.m. to 3:31 a.m. All three pumps at Station Duration Seal Beach Anaheim Barber 5 -min 0.56 0.40 30 -min 1.60 1.20 1 -hr 2.56 2.20 3 -hr 308 2.72 6 -hr 3.20 3.24 III. Level of Storm Event Preliminary analysis of the rainfall data indicates from rain gauges in the area, the storm exceeded the 100 -year level storm event. One of the rain gauges is located at the.Seal Beach Pump Station which is the pump station that drains the area of the flooding. The pump station and accompanying storm drain system is designed for a 25 -year level storm event. The area is mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to be in a floodplain zone indicating the area is susceptible to flooding and having less than a 100 -year level of flood protection. IV. Pump Station Data The three pumps at the Seal Beach Pump Station are each capable of discharging 55,000 gallons per minute for a total of 165,000 gallons per minute. The Pump Station data indicates the first pump at the Seal Beach facility began operating at 12:29 a.m., the second at 12:34 a.m. and the third at 12:59 a.m. The three pumps at the pump station operated at maximum capacity from 12:59 a.m. to 3:31 a.m. All three pumps at the facility were in operation during the critical time frame from 12:59 a.m. until after 3:31 a.m. V. Summary of Storm Event This major storm event occurred over a 6 -hour period with the highest intensity occurring -early Sunday morning for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, between 12:25 a.m. and 1:40 a.m. A review of the pump station operating records confirm the pumps at the pump station operated properly in response to incoming storm flows. The rainfall analysis indicates that the storm exceeded the 100 -year level storm event overwhelming the 25 -year designed storm drain and pump system thereby resulting in flooding of dwellings in the area. Attachment B Frequently Asked Questions October 17, 2004 Storm • There are two pump houses located at Seal Beach Blvd. and Electric Avenue. What are they? The pump station to the north is a County storm water pump station which pumps storm water. The pump station to the south is a City sewer pump station which pumps sewage. • How many pumps and what is the capacity of the County pump station? The County has 3 storm water pumps, each rated at 55,000 gallons per minute, 165,000 gallons per minute total. (For comparison purposes, this is equivalent to the pumping power to drain 8 large residential swimming pools per minute.) • What improvements have been done at the County pump station recently? In 1996 the County upgraded the pump station to handle a 25 -year peak storm flow which has a 1 in 25 (4 %) chance of rain falling at a certain place each year. 250 acres drain to the County pump station. • Were both pump stations turned on? How do the pumps at the station turn on? Both pump station (City and County) turned on automatically and operated at capacity. As the rain starts, water levels rise in the wet well. Floats in the wet well rise and turn pumps on one by one. As the level rises, the pumps turn as fast as possible, producing the maximum discharge rate. • How much rain did the City receive? Rain fall levels exceeded the 100 -year storm levels with over 2- inches in one hour with a total of 3.2 inches. By definition, a 100 -year storm which is measured in terms of rainfall is the amount of rain that has a 1 -in -100 (1 %) chance of falling at a certain place each year. • What were the Police and Public Works Departments doing during the rain? Police and Pubic Works personnel responded to calls for flooding in Old Town and College Park East and to high water alarms at the West End Pump Station and Station 35 sewer pump station. Staff inspected stations to confirm that all stations were operating at capacity, assisted stranded motorists, closed flooded roadways and cleared debris from catch basins. Were the catch basins cleaned before the storm? Were the catch basin screens removed? Do the catch basin filters stop water from entering the storm drains? Catch basins throughout the City were cleaned between September and early October 2004. Screens were also removed at that time. In the event of very heavy flows, which exceed the design capacity of catch basin filters, excess water will flow over the inside edge of the filter rail into the overflow bypass area and into the drainage system, thereby bypassing the filters and maintaining heavy flows. Were sandbags and filter fabric surrounding the catch basins on Marina Drive? Yes, as part of the construction project on Marina Drive, the contractor had water quality features including sandbags and fabric surrounding the catch basins as required of the water quality practices on construction projects and as required by the storm drain system permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. City crews removed these features as soon as possible. However, these drainage facilities were not designed to provide 100 -year peak flow rates and' flooding did occur. Was the West End Pump Station working? What is its pump rate and are there plans to improve it? The West End Pump Station which contains two 25,000 gallon per minute pumps, were in full operation during the storm. It currently provides less than a 5 -year peak flow pump capacity. There are plans to upgrade the system to a 25- year peak flow pumping capacity. To ensure reliability, the Public Works Department has rehabilitated both engines and one of the pumps at the station. The Coastal Commission Permit and Army Corp permits are currently being pursued. The drainage area which flows to that area is 150- acres. Did any drains plug up? It is assumed that several of the storm drains and inlets had partial blockages during the storm because of the large amounts of debris that was being washed down by the rainwaters. One drain on First Street behind the Exxon property did have a blockage. The Public Works Department called in a contractor to remove the blockage and the pipe is back in operation. What is the City -doing now to assist residents? City staff is available to answer any questions the public and media may have. The City has ordered additional street sweeping, residential trash pickup, cleaning of catch basins inlet debris, placement of sand and sandbags at 5 locations, activated the Reverse 911 system, pre - positioned barricades, signs, and delineators at areas which typically experience flooding, pre - positioned additional water pumps including a 1000 gallon per minute pump near Seal Beach Blvd. and Electric Ave., met with residents, and set up a town -hall meeting for Thursday evening at 7pm. Where are sand and sandbags available? Residents are encouraged to use moderation for the sandbags and commercial businesses are encouraged to provide their own bags. Sand and sandbags are available free of charge to residents at the following locations: Lifeguard Headquarters, 8`" Street Parking Lot Fire Station 44, 81" and Central Fire Station 48, Beverly Manor Road City Yard, Adolfo Lopez Drive Seal Beach Blvd at Landing Ave (next to the Navy gate) Attachment C t Mrne. q;30 am i ida- w F- boding in Sea!-Bs2c -h � ire: � To` and Colle�ee PaNc East Or Sunday morning at appra >Cmateiy 2:03 am the City o€ Seatt?�eac; , :,egar, to ex,erie � era g. rr °�': -^i'O '1703+^ 1 s$ §8'E $eVESBi 'StreE:S SLY tie ��'3 �^iY: cress akl:f.

What to Do After a Flood or Flash Flood • Seek necessary medical care at the nearest hospital or clinic. Contaminated floodwater: lead to a greater possibility of infection. Severe injuries will require medical attention. • Help a neighbor who may require special assistance — infants, elderly people, and people with disabilities. Elderly people and people with disabilities may require additional http: / /NN,�vw.redcross.orQ /services/ disaster /0,1082,0_570_,00.htinl 10/18 /2004 American Red Cross Page 3 of 4 assistance. People who care for them or who have large families may need additional assistance in emergency situations. • Avoid disaster areas. Your presence might hamper rescue and other emergency operation: and put you at further risk from the residual effects of floods, such as contaminated waters, crumbled roads, landslides, mudflows, and other hazards. • Continue to listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or local radio or television stations and return home only when authorities indicate it is safe to do so. Flood dangers do not end when the water begins to recede; there may be flood - related hazards within your community, which you could hear about from local broadcasts. • Stay out of any building if flood waters remain around the building. Flood waters often undermine foundations, causing sinking, floors can crack or break and buildings can collapse • Avoid entering ANY building (home, business, or other) before local officials have saic it is safe to do so. Buildings may have hidden damage that makes them unsafe. Gas leaks or electric or waterline damage can create additional problems. • Report broken utility lines to the appropriate authorities. Reporting potential hazards will get the utilities turned off as quickly as possible, preventing further hazard and injury. Check with your utility company now about where broken lines should be reported. • Avoid smoking inside buildings. Smoking in confined areas can cause fires. • When entering buildings, use extreme caution. Building damage may have occurred where you least expect it. Watch carefully every step you take. • Wear sturdy shoes. The most common injury following a disaster is cut feet. • Use battery- powered lanterns or flashlights when examining buildings. Battery- powered lighting is the safest and easiest, preventing fire hazard for the user, occupants, and building. • Examine walls, floors, doors, staircases, and windows to make sure that the building is not in danger of collapsing. • Inspect foundations for cracks or other damage. Cracks and damage to a foundation can render a building uninhabitable. • Look for fire hazards. There may be broken or leaking gas lines, flooded electrical circuits, or submerged furnaces or electrical appliances. Flammable or explosive materials may travel from upstream. Fire is the most frequent hazard following floods o Check for gas leaks. If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window and quickly leave the building. Turn off the gas at the outside main valve if ye can and call the gas company from a neighbor's home. If you turn off the gas for any reason, it must be turned back on by a professional. o Look for electrical system damage. If you see sparks or broken or frayed wires, or you smell burning insulation, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. If you have to step in water to get to the fuse box or circuit breaker, call an electrician first for advice. Electrical equipment should be checked and dried before being returned to service. o Check for sewage and waterline damage. If you suspect sewage lines are damaged, avoid using the toilets and call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, contact the water company and avoid using water from the tap You can obtain safe water from undamaged water heaters or by melting ice cubes. littp: / /t',,%N ,\N,.redcross.or,,/ services /disaster /0,1082,0_5 70_M.html 10/18/2004 American Red Cross Page 4 of 4 o Watch out for animals, especially poisonous snakes, that may have come into buildings with the flood waters. Use a stick to poke through debris. Flood water: flush snakes and many animals out of their homes. o Watch for loose plaster, drywall, and ceilings that could fall. o Take pictures of the damage, both of the building and its contents, for insuranc claims. • After returning home: o Throw away food that has come in contact with flood waters. Some canned food may be salvageable. If the cans are dented or damaged, throw them away. Food contaminated by flood waters can cause severe infections. o If water is of questionable purity, boil or add bleach, and distill drinking water before using. (See information on water treatment under the "Disaster Supplies Kit' section ) Wells inundated by flood waters should be pumped out and the water tested for purity before drinking. If in doubt, call your local public health authority. III health effects often occur when people drink water contaminated with bacteria and germs. o Pump out flooded basements gradually (about one -third of the water per day) tr avoid structural damage. If the water is pumped completely in a short period of time pressure from water - saturated soil on the outside could cause basement walls to collapse. o Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are health hazards.
