Yard & Landscape Drainage questions from De Luz customers
- Why would a San Diego water board have anything to do with our property in Riverside County?
- Because the watershed, not the county line, sets the regulator. Riverside County's watershed protection program states that the Santa Margarita River watershed covers the southwest portion of Riverside County, including unincorporated areas and all of Temecula, and that it falls under the San Diego Region 9 board through a Regional MS4 Permit and a Water Quality Improvement Plan.
- Is grove irrigation runoff treated the same as rain when it crosses the yard?
- No. The County's Santa Margarita Region program describes an ordinance prohibiting the disposal of pollutants onto public or private land and prohibiting illegal discharges into the storm drain system. That framing separates clean rainfall from irrigation and other flows, so yard drainage on an irrigated parcel is designed around two different categories of water, not one.
- We want to reshape ground around the grove to stop ponding. Does that need paperwork?
- Often yes. Riverside County's grading ordinance exempts agricultural grading and clearing only while all excavated material stays on site, and requires an Agricultural Grading or Clearing Certificate to be filed first. Where the work involves a slope angle of 10 percent or greater, an erosion control plan approved by the Natural Resources Conservation Service or a licensed soil engineer is required.
- Our ground drops away toward the river canyon. Does that affect how a yard is drained?
- It affects where the water is allowed to go. San Diego State University's field station describes the Santa Margarita gorge with a canyon floor roughly 15 to 50 meters wide, walls commonly inclined 45 degrees or more, and tributaries hanging 50 to 90 meters above it. The County's grading rules separately bar obstructing or diverting natural drainage, watercourses or blue line streams.
