District Conditions of Approval
Page 24 of 33
General Conditions
95. Storm Flows. The 10 year storm flow shall be contained within the curb
and the 100 year storm flow shall be contained within the street right of
way. When either of these criteria is exceeded, additional drainage
facilities shall be installed. The property shall be graded to drain to the
adjacent street or an adequate outlet.
96. Drainage Facilities. Drainage facilities out letting sump conditions shall

a manner that perpetuates the existing natural drainage patterns with
respect to tributary drainage area, outlet points and outlet conditions;
otherwise, a drainage easement shall be obtained from the affected
property owners for the release of concentrated or diverted storm flows. A

for review.
98. Coordinate Drainage. Development of this property shall be coordinated
with development of adjacent properties to ensure that watercourses
remain unobstructed and stormwaters are not diverted from one watershed
to another. This may require the construction of temporary drainage
facilities or offsite construction and grading. A drainage easement shall be
obtained from the affected property owners for the release of concentrated
or diverted storm flows. A copy of the recorded drainage easement shall
be submitted to the District for review.
99. WQMP. In compliance with Santa Ana Region and San Diego Region
Regional Water Quality Control Board Orders, and Beginning January 1,
2005, projects submitted within the western region of the unincorporated
area of Riverside County for discretionary approval will be required to
comply with the Water Quality Management Plan for Urban Runoff
(WQMP). The WQMP addresses post -development water quality impacts
from new development and redevelopment projects. The WQMP
requirements will vary depending on the project's geographic location
(Santa Ana, Santa Margarita or Whitewater River watersheds). The
WQMP provides detailed guidelines and templates to assist the developer
in completing the necessary studies. These documents are available on-
line at: www.floodcontrol.co.riverside.ca.us under Programs and Services,
Stormwater Quality.
To comply with the WQMP a developer must submit a "Project Specific"
WQMP. This report is intended to a) identify potential post -project
pollutants and hydrologic impacts associated with the development; b)
identify proposed mitigation measures (BMPs) for identified impacts
including site design, source control and treatment control post -
development BMPs; and c) identify sustainable funding and maintenance
mechanisms for the aforementioned BMPs. A template for this report is
Page 25 of 33
included as 'exhibit A' in the WQMP. A final Project Specific WQMP must
be approved by the District prior to issuance of building or grading permits.
Projects requiring Project Specific WQMPs are required to submit a
PRELIMINARY Project Specific WQMP along with the land -use application
package. The format of the PRELIMINARY report shall mimic the
format/template of the final report but can be less detailed. For example,
points a, b & c above must be covered, rough calculations supporting
sizing must be included, and footprint/locations for the BMPs must be
identified on the tentative exhibit. Detailed drawings will not be required.
This preliminary project specific WQMP must be approved by the District
prior to issuance of recommended conditions of approval.
The developer has submitted a report that minimally meets the criteria for
a preliminary project specific WQMP. The report will need significant
revisions to meet the requirements of a final project specific WQMP. Also,
it should be noted that if 401 certification is necessary for the project, the
Water Quality Control Board may require additional water quality
measures.
100. BMP Maintenance. This project proposes BMP facilities that will require
maintenance by public agency or commercial property owner association.
To ensure that the public is not unduly burdened with future costs, prior to
final approval or recordation of this case, the District will require an
acceptable financial mechanism be implemented to provide for
maintenance of treatment control BMPs in perpetuity. This may consist of
a mechanism to assess individual benefiting property owners, or other
means approved by the District. The site's treatment control BMPs must
be shown on the project's improvement plans - either the street plans,
grading plans, or landscaping plans. The type of improvement plans that
will show the BMPs will depend on the selected maintenance entity.
Prior to Issuance of Grading Permit
101.Improvement Plans. A copy of the improvement plans, grading plans,
BMP improvement plans and any other necessary documentation along
