5.4 Hydrology and Water Quality
5.4 Hydrology and Water Quality City of Lake Forest Portola Center Project Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 5.4 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section analyzes potential project impacts on existing drainage patterns, surface hydrology, and flood control facilities and water quality conditions in the project area. Mitigation measures are recommended to avoid potential impacts or reduce them to a less than significant level. The discussion in this section is based on information and conclusions contained in the following studies: . Hydrology Study for TTM 15353 & 17300 (Hydrology Study), prepared by Hunsaker & Associates Irvine, Inc., dated February 19, 2013; refer to Appendix 11.4, Hydrology and Water Quality Assessment.

3.4 Biological Resources
3.4 Biological Resources 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4.1 Introduction This section evaluates the potential for implementation of the Proposed Project to have impacts on biological resources, including sensitive plants, animals, and habitats. The Notice of Preparation (NOP) (Appendix A) identified the potential for impacts associated to candidate, sensitive, or special status species (as defined in Section 3.4.6 below), sensitive natural communities, jurisdictional waters of the United States, wildlife corridors or other significant migratory pathway, and a potential to conflict with local policies and ordinances protecting biological resources. Data used to prepare this section were taken from the Orange County General Plan, the City of Lake Forest General Plan, Lake Forest Municipal Code, field observations, and other sources, referenced within this section, for background information. Full bibliographic references are noted in Section 3.4.12 (References). No comments with respect to biological resources were received during the NOP comment period. The Proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and zone change for development of Sites 1 to 6 and creation of public facilities overlay on Site 7. 3.4.2 Environmental Setting Regional Characteristics The City of Lake Forest, with a population of approximately 77,700 as of January 2004, is an area of 16.6 square miles located in the heart of South Orange County and Saddleback Valley, between the coastal floodplain and the Santa Ana Mountains (see Figure 2-1, Regional Location). The western portion of the City is near sea level, while the northeastern portion reaches elevations of up to 1,500 feet.

Hydric Soils. One of the three wetland identification parameters, according to the Federal definition of a wetland, hydric soils have characteristics that indicate they were developed in conditions where soil oxygen is limited by the presence of saturated soil for long periods during the growing season. There are approximately 2,000 named soils in the United States that may occur in wetlands. Hydrophytic Vegetation. Plant types that typically occur in wetland areas. CONSERVATION / 9-1 6 3 MARKET DEMAND Nearly 5,000 plant types in the United States may occur in wetlands. Plants are listed in regional publications of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and include such species as cattails, bulrushes, cordgrass, sphagnum moss, bald cypress, willows, mangroves, sedges, rushes, arrowheads, and water plantains.

Part III: Projects
PART III: PROJECTS Coordinated studies, plans, projects, partnerships, programs and policies are all required to successfully manage water resources over the long term. This phase of the IRCWMP has focused primarily on planning and projects. The outcomes are a planning methodology to identify and integrate projects and a list of prioritized projects. The planning framework and methodology were presented in Parts I and II of this Plan. Part III focuses on projects and the state strategies they implement. Chapter 10: Local Level Planning and Integration presents local objectives, project integration designs, and the list of projects that support both local and regional objectives. Chapter 11: Regional Prioritization presents a simple scoring system based on a project’s multiple benefits and an integration concept that is based on state priorities. Once the body of Regional Performance Objectives is sufficiently robust and detailed, the scoring system can be adapted in a more sophisticated manner to reward projects that accomplish specific regional objectives. Additionally, the scoring system can be easily modified to accommodate changes in local and state priorities. Chapter 12: Next Steps for Plan Implementation summarizes the studies, programs, policies, plans and partnerships that will be needed in subsequent phases of this IRCWMP process 208 Central Orange County Integrated Regional and Coastal Water Management Plan 10 • local level plannIng & INTEGRATION key concept of this Plan is that project-level planning 1) Northern Foothills A and design should be infused with ideas that promote 2) Southern Foothills rebalancing of the hydrologic system, in order to establish a healthy 3) Central Plain and stable ecosystem.

Proposed Basin Plan Amendments (Underline/Strike-Out Version)
Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. ATTACHMENT 2 Proposed Basin Plan Amendments (underline/strike-out version) [NOTE: The proposed amendments consist of the following: Revise Compliance Schedule for Fecal Coliform TMDL for Shellfish Harvesting (SHEL) in Newport Bay; Add Certain Waters to Table 3-1 and Designate Beneficial uses for those Waters; Revise SHEL Beneficial Use Definition; Revise Table 4-1 to include Added Waters; Add Antidegradation Targets for REC2 Only Waters; Add Introductory Narrative for Chapter 6 Total Maximum Daily Loads; Add Fecal Indicator Bacteria Footnote to Chapters 4 and 5. These amendments are proposed to be incorporated in the Basin Plan in Chapter 3, Beneficial Uses, Chapter 4, Water Quality Objectives, Chapter 5 Implementation, and new Chapter 6 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). If the Basin Plan amendments are approved, corresponding changes will be made as necessary to the Table of Contents, the List of Tables, page numbers, and page headers in the Plan. Formatting changes, including page numbers, page headers and table and figure identifiers may be modified for the purposes of possible re-publication of the Basin Plan. However, no substantive changes to the text, tables or figures would occur absent a Basin Plan amendment]. In the text and tables that follow, added language is underlined; deleted language is shown in strikeout type.

4.6 Hydrology and Water Quality
4.6 Hydrology and Water Quality 4.6 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This EIR section examines whether implementation of the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would alter the existing drainage patterns in the project area, increase the rate or amount of polluted urban runoff, exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm drainage systems, or otherwise adversely impact hydrology or water quality. Data used to prepare this section was taken from the City of Santa Ana‘s (City) General Plan. Two comment letters associated with hydrology and water quality were received in response to the IS/NOP for the proposed project. 4.6.1 Environmental Setting Regional Hydrology The City of Santa Ana (City) is located within the Santa Ana River Basin (SARB), a 2,800-square-mile area located roughly between Los Angeles and San Diego. The SARB is a group of connected inland basins and open coastal basins drained by surface streams flowing generally southwestward to the Pacific Ocean. The SARB can be divided into an upper basin and a lower basin by the Prado flood control dam, which is located at the upper end of the Lower Santa Ana River Canyon. The dam is located on the Santa Ana River in Riverside County, approximately 2 miles west of the City of Corona. The lower Santa Ana River has been channelized and modified so that in most years flows do not reach the Pacific Ocean but are used to recharge groundwater. The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is located within the San Diego Creek Watershed, which covers 112.2 square miles in central Orange County.
