The County maintains year-round responsibility for investigating and addressing pollution incidents—including illegal discharges, accidental spills, and abandoned materials—across all areas under its jurisdiction. This coverage extends to unincorporated communities, County roadways, facilities, harbors, parks, beaches, and Orange County Flood Control District channels. Thirty-one Orange County cities have executed agreements with the County to provide pollution response support when additional technical expertise or resources are needed. The contracted provider must deliver both emergency and non-emergency environmental cleanup services under County direction. Emergency responses require rapid confirmation of resource availability within 10 minutes, deployment of a field supervisor within 30 minutes, and full mobilization within 90 minutes unless otherwise agreed. Typical responsibilities include containment, removal, high‑pressure cleaning, confined‑space entry, hazardous materials handling, waste recovery, trauma scene remediation, incident command support, and compliance with all safety and environmental regulations. The Contractor must ensure proper communication, avoid unauthorized actions, and participate in post‑incident reviews. For non-emergency work, schedules are coordinated with County staff. All waste materials must be evaluated for cost-effective recycling, treatment, or disposal, with the Contractor providing estimates and the County determining final disposal actions.
