Subject:Approve a Contract Amendment with EOA, Inc., for Additional Trash Plan Assistance
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Permit Program. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the
“USEPA”) published final rules implementing the 1987 CWA amendments in November 1990. The rules mandate
that Permittees obtain and implement stormwater permits designed to reduce and eliminate the discharge of pollutants
into and from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems they own and operate. Through the CCCWP, Permittees
conduct many of the mandated activities collectively, such as water quality monitoring, special studies, and public
education. 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 Management Committee has directed that certain requirements of the Municipal NPDES Permits, such as
development and implementation of Long-Term Trash Load Reduction Plans, be planned and coordinated as a Group
Activity. EOA, Inc., has been providing necessary technical services to help Permittees comply with the Trash Load
Reduction requirements in the Permits. To ensure compliance with the requirements, Permittees require additional
assistance from EOA, Inc.
CCCWP staff, on behalf of the Permittees, respectfully request approval of this contract amendment with EOA, Inc.,
for the remainder of the contract term (through October 31, 2016).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Contract Amendment with EOA, Inc. is not approved, the CCCWP Permittees may not be able to fulfill the
permit mandates, and could be found in non-compliance with the NPDES permits issued by the Water Boards. Fines
totaling $10,000 per day and $10 per gallon of stormwater discharge could potentially be imposed.
