(Stormwater Utility Fee Assessments) Project No.: 0929-6X7056 DATE: September 18, 2001 PAGE: 2 II. Financial Impact: The cost is estimated to be $300,000; and, shall be funded by stormwater utility fee assessments collected by the cities and county proportioned to their respective populations. III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Regulations for stormwater discharges on November 16, 1990 requiring Contra Costa County, nineteen (19) of its incorporated cities and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to implement their Joint Municipal NPDES permits for stormwater discharges issued by the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The Permits seek to significantly reduce or eliminate all pollutants from entering the waters of the San Francisco Bay/San Joaquin Delta Region. The Contra Costa Clean Water Program is made up of representatives of each of the nineteen (19)cities, the County, and the Flood Control District. One of the most important requirements of the Joint Municipal NPDES permit is to implement an effective Public Education and Industrial Outreach Program. The education program is a long-term commitment to modify social behavior to reduce pollution to the San Francisco Bay/San Joaquin Delta. The Contra Costa Clean Water Program went through an extensive selection process culminating in the recommendation that PANAGRAPH be hired forthe 2000/2001 fiscal year; and, based on satisfactory performance be retained for the 2001/2002 fiscal year to provide such services. The unanimous recommendation of the Contra Costa Clean Water Program is to contract with Panagraph for the 2001/2002 fiscal year. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: If the consulting services agreement with PANAGRAPH 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 $10 per gallon of stormwater discharge for all affected entities could be imposed.
