Subject:Execute a Contract Amendment with Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
District (District), hereinafter referred to as "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 discharged under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit Program. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) published final
stormwater rules implementing the 1987 CWA amendments in November 1990. The rules mandate Permittees to
reduce or prohibit the discharge of pollutants into, and from, the municipal storm drain system. 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 CCCWP and Permittees are outlined in the Program
Agreement, which was last updated and adopted by all Permittees in June 2010. The CCCWP is made up of
representatives of each of the 19 cities/towns, the County, and the 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 by 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 CCCWP since FY 2010-11, and has contributed to keeping the
CCCWP in compliance with permit requirements. In addition to current contract tasks, Mr. Cloak has been asked to
take on additional key responsibilities during the temporary leave of one CCCWP staff member. In order to help the
CCCWP continue to maintain permit compliance, Program staff, on behalf of the cities/towns, the County, and the
District, respectfully requests approval of this contract amendment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Contract amendment 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.
