Synopsis:  In May 2021, new standard plans that are specifically geared toward stormwater quality basin design were officially approved by the Orange County Board of Supervisors. It was the culmination of a two-year process during a public-private collaborative group worked together to develop a set of standard plans and specifications for stormwater quality mitigation basin design. Before the development of the standard plans, the County would often encounter atypical designs resulting in multiple delays with acceptance of facilities and increased staff time for plan check comments, field inspections and follow up negotiations on requested changes. In an effort to streamline the review and transfer of the basin operation and maintenance responsibility to the County, a public-private work group was formed to develop a set of standards for stormwater quality basins. The work group included public and private environmental professionals and civil engineers, representatives from a major private land developer and OCPW staff from multiple service areas. Tracy Ingebrigtsen and Robert Mclean from OCPW, and Jose Cruz and Ron Rovansek from PACE, were all highly involved in the preparation of the basin standards. During the technical presentation, they will provide an overview of the development process, describe the purpose for the standard plans, and highlight design details that can help in understanding the significance and use for the basin standards.
