III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background (cont):
The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES)Regulations for Stormwater Discharges on November 16, 1990. These
Regulations require Contra Costa County, its incorporated cities and the Contra Costa County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District to obtain a NPDES Permit for their stormwater discharges.
The Permit seeks to significantly reduce or eliminate all pollutants from entering the waters of the
San Francisco Bay - Delta Region.
An organization was formed called the Contra Costa Cities ♦ County ♦ District Stormwater Pollution
Control Program comprising of nineteen (19)municipalities. Its primary objective has been to obtain
an area-wide Municipal NPDES Stormwater Permit. The first part of the three step process required
municipalities to submit Part I of the NPDES Permit by May 18, 1992, Part II of the NPDES Permit
by May 17, 1993, and, the actual issuance of the NPDES Permit by the San Francisco Bay and
Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB). The San Francisco Bay RWQCB
approved the Joint Municipal NPDES Permit for affected jurisdictions within Contra Costa County on
September 15, 1993. The Central Valley RWQCB is scheduled to approve the Joint Municipal
NPDES Permit for affected jurisdictions on December 3, 1993. The Permit will require all
municipalities within Contra Costa County to implement their own specifically designed Stormwater
Management Plans. The costs for implementing these plans for Fiscal Year 1993-94 totals
approximately $10,000,000. All municipalities opted to implement a stormwater utility fee
assessment for this fiscal year totaling approximately $8,500,000. The City of Richmond has their
own separate distinct assessment to pay for their Stormwater Management Plan costs.
The cost payment agreements stipulate the terms and conditions of receiving or expending revenue
generated by the stormwater utility fee assessments.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the cost payment agreements are not approved, the County and Cities will be unable to implement
their Stormwater Management Plans. The Regional Boards have the authority to issue fines of up
to $10,000 per day and $20.00 per gallon of discharge against those municipalities that fail to
implement their Stormwater Management Plans or fall into non-compliance with the Permit.
