Subject:Execute a Contract Amendment with Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
District (District), hereinafter referred to as "Co-permittees". The CCCWP was established in 1991 through a
"Program Agreement" in response to the 1987 amendments to the federal Clean Water Act (CWA), which
established a framework for regulating municipal stormwater discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program. The United State Environment Protection Agency (USEPA)
published final stormwater rules implementing the 1987 CWA amendments in November 1990. The rules
mandate Co-permittees to reduce or prohibit the discharge of pollutants into, and from, the municipal storm drain
system. Co-permittees conduct many of these mandated stormwater pollution prevention and control activities
collectively (also referred to as "Group Activities"). The roles and responsibilities of the Program and
Co-permittees are outlined in the Program Agreement, which was last updated and adopted by all Co-permittees
in June 2010. The Program is made up of representatives of each of the 19 cities/towns, the County, and the Flood
Control District. Each city/town/County/District manager designates one representative to participate on the
Management Committee, which is the CCCWP's decision-making body.
Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting is recognized regionwide as a leader in the field of Low Impact
Development (LID). The Management Committee has directed that important requirements of the Joint Municipal
NPDES Permits, such as LID, be performed by the CCCWP. Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting has performed
well in providing technical and project management services to the Program during Fiscal Year 2011/12, and has
contributed to keeping the Program in compliance with permit requirements. In order to help the Program
continue to maintain compliance, Program staff, on behalf of the cities/towns, the County, and the District,
respectfully requests approval of this contract extension.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Contract Extension with Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting is not approved, the CCCWP would not be
able to fulfill the permit mandates, and municipalities could be found in non-compliance with the NPDES permits
issued by the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Fines totaling
$10,000 per day and $10 per gallon of stormwater discharge could potentially be imposed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
