ATTESTED: July 13, 2010 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: EMY L. SHARP, Deputy cc: C. 22 To:Board of Supervisors From:Julia R. Bueren, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:July 13, 2010 Contra Costa County Subject:Approve Resolution Designating Contra Costa Clean Water Program as Lead Agency on Used Oil Payment Program Grant BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) pollutants from entering the municipal storm drain system. On June 26, 2007 Resolution 2007/34 was passed by the Board of Supervisors authorizing the submittal of regional applications on behalf of specified municipalities for five fiscal years under the California Integrated Waste Management Authority's Used Oil Block Grant UOBG). Effective July 1, 2010, the UOBG grant program was renamed the Used Oil Payment Program (OPP) and moved to CalRecycle for its administration. The OPP allows municipalities to designate a lead agency to administer grant funds in perpetuity on their behalf, provided municipalities re-designate the lead agency with each fiscal year grant application. A new resolution is required to continue the grant funding which promotes the recycling of used motor oil, a significant pollutant in stormwater. This program is a long-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 approve the resolution authorizing submittal of a regional application for specified municipalities (see attached OPP Resolution and municipal co-permittee's designation letters).
