III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Regulations for stormwater discharges on November 16, 1990. These regulations
required Contra Costa County, its incorporated cities and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District to obtain NPDES.Permits for municipal stormwater discharges. The
Permits seek to significantly reduce or eliminate all pollutants from entering the waters of the San
Francisco Bay - Delta Region.
The Joint Municipal NPDES Permits were granted on September 15, 1993 by the San Francisco Bay
Regional Water Quality Control Board and January 29, 1994 by the Central Valley Regional Water
Quality Control Board covering all of the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Contra Costa
County (except the City of Brentwood).
Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Inc. has provided technical services to the Program since its inception.
This contract allows Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Inc. to continue to provide the necessary technical
services for the 1996-97 Fiscal Year. The Management Committee composed of the nineteen (19)
municipal representatives unanimously recommends approval of this agreement. The technical
services provided by Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Inc. are specialized and critical to the success of
the overall Program.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the consulting services agreement with Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Inc., is not approved, then
all municipalities will be in non-compliance with the Joint Municipal NPDES permits issued by the San
Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Potentially, fines totaling
$10,000 per day and $20.00 per gallon of stormwater discharge for all affected entities could be
imposed.
