Pre-Planning Emergency Response Plan – OCSD, SAWPA, Corps Annual plan update, meeting, training in fall “Just-in Time” Training The Event Lots of rain in short period of time resulting in high river flow and volume Twice daily coordination: Corps, OCSD, SAWPA, OCWD, OC PW, RCFC

SAR is operated as an integrated system Team approach to response – lots of coordination Existing relationships key to success Ongoing joint activities, projects Emergency Response Plan Good overall plan. Some fine tuning required. “Just-in-time” training for key participants was invaluable. Prado Dam Water Surface at Record Elevation (529.4 ft) Water-tightness of the pipe, MASs confirmed. Seals at several MASs to be evaluated for improvement especially at the higher water surface elevation.
22
Brine Line in Orange County Coordination team established: Corps, OCPW, OCSD, OCWD, RCFCD, SAWPA created Effectively communicated issues and identified solutions. Result: reduction in dam outflow from 5,000 cfs to 2,500 cfs for 4 days and a reduction to 100 cfs to facilitate inspection/repair. Group should be formalized in the agencies’ emergency response documents. Areas of erosion over pipe, around MAS Traditional trouble spots remain. New locations identified. Erosion locations need to be evaluated for protection measures to prevent or reduce future erosion.
