Facility location. Identify options to prohibit new facilities involved in the production, use, storage, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials in quantities that would place them in the State’s Toxic Release Inventory or Small Quantity Generator databases in the 100-year flood zone unless all standards of elevation, anchoring, and flood proofing have been implemented to the satisfaction of the City’s Planning and Building Agency and the Orange County Fire Authority. |

Lead contamination. Work with state, local and regional partners, such as the Department of Toxic Substances Control, South Coast Air Quality District, Orange County Environmental Justice, Orange County Health Care Agency, and University of California at Irvine Public Health, to understand the prevalence, sources, and implications of lead contamination of soil across Santa Ana. Collaborate with such state agencies, local, and regional partners and environmental justice stakeholders in proposing, selecting, and implementing measures to mitigate (i.e., remove, cover, and remediate) hazardous lead-contaminated soils in the city in a manner that includes key benchmarks and routine monitoring of soil lead levels to measure and track effectiveness of selected approach. |
