X <br />d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk <br />release of pollutants due to project inundation? X <br />e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a <br />water quality control plan or sustainable <br />groundwater management plan? X <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />a) The proposed Project is not expected to significantly violate water quality standards, waste discharge <br />requirements, or surface and groundwater quality. Construction activities will comply with <br />regulations set forth by the Federal Clean Water Act, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control <br />Board (SARWQCB), Orange County, the City of Santa Ana, and other relevant water quality control <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 15 – 80 12/2/2025
