II. Financial Impact:
The cost is estimated to be $278,000; and, shall be funded by city and county 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 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 along-term commitment to modify social behavior
to reduce pollution to the San Francisco Bay/San Joaquin Delta. The recommendation of the
Contra Costa Clean Water Program is to contract with Panagraph for the 2004/2005 fiscal year.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the consulting services agreement with Panagraph isnot 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.
