Santiago GHAD Next Steps and Assessment Survey

In September 2024, the GHAD Board of Directors requested that the GHAD Manager prepare a survey for property owners within the GHAD regarding opinions on another potential GHAD assessment.

The survey comprised 19 yes-no questions related to general information about the GHAD assessment, the recent grant funding application for which the GHAD applied, the most recently approved Engineer’s Report, and opinions on a potential future GHAD assessment.

Please feel free to contact the GHAD Board of Directors or the GHAD Manager (ENGEO) with any questions and ideas.

Subapplication and Supporting Documentation

Army Corps of Engineers Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study Information

We have been notified that the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) at Formerly Used Defense Site Former (FUDS) project at Irvine Park – Army Camp (MRS01 – Range Complex), FUDS Project # J09CA712901 which includes some parcels within the Santiago Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD).  The US Army Corps of Engineers completed a Site Inspection (SI) in 2011 and as a result it was decided to perform further site investigation under Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS).  In order for the US Army Corps of Engineers to perform proper RI/FS in the area, they may seek permission to enter private property.  If the USACE decides to conduct any investigation on parcels after obtaining the property owner’s permission, some soil samples (small amount) will be taken from undeveloped/un-landscaped area in their property. As indicated, the sampling will not be very intrusive. Below is more information regarding the US Army Corps of Engineers’ work in this area. The Santiago GHAD is providing this notification for information only and is not involved in any of the investigation activities.

Board of Directors

During the 2022 election cycle, three Board of Director positions were eligible for election. Only one Director submitted candidacy for reelection and one property owner within the GHAD submitted candidacy for one of the positions, leaving one position vacant. The property owner rescinded candidacy, therefore, two positions were vacant leading up to the 2022 election. Since the number of candidates who applied was less than the number of eligible positions, only one director was appointed, and two positions remained vacant. Furthermore, since one candidate submitted and then rescinded candidacy, that position can only be filled by election in 2024, while the other position that did not receive any candidates can be appointed by the Orange County Board of Supervisors.

A board vacancy occurred on September 19, 2024, and can be filled by appointment by the GHAD Board of Directors within 60 days. Candidates interested in applying to the most recent vacancy can fill out an application included in the link below. The application deadline is October 30, 2024.
