II. Fiscal Impact:
The cost is estimated to be no more than$240,000; and, shall be funded by stormwater utility fee
assessments collected on behalf of the cities, towns and county, proportioned based on their
respective populations. The stormwater utility fees assessments are dedicated for activities
undertaken, or to be undertaken, in connection with the NPDES program.'
IIL Reasons for Recommendations and Backaround:
The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (Program) is composed of Contra Costa County, all
nineteen(19)of its incorporated cities/towns and the Contra Costa County Flood Control&Water
Conservation District.The Program was established in 1991 in response to the 1987 amendments to
the Federal Clean Water Act, and the resulting stormwater regulations promulgated by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency on November 16, 1990.These federal regulations prohibit
the discharge of pollutants from municipal separate storm sewer systems;(MS4s) to navigatable
waters of the U.S.,unless the discharge is in compliance with an NPDES Permit.In California,the
federal stormwater regulations are administered and enforced by the State Water Resources Control
Board and its nine(9)Regional Water Quality Control Boards.The state Porter-Cologne Act(Water
Code 130000,et seq)is the principal legislation for controlling stormwater pollutants in California.
Municipal NPDES Permits'issued in California include more specific state requirements designed to
reduce or eliminate pollutant discharges from MS4s to waters of the state.'
Municipal NPDES Permits are issued for a five-year period. The Program:is currently in its fifth
year of its second five-year Joint Municipal NPDES Permit issued by the San Francisco Bay
Regional Water Quality Control Board.The current permit was amended,however,on February 19,
2003. The amendment added Provision C.3, which requires the Program and its co-permittees to
implement significant additional measures to control stormwater discharges from areas of new
development and redevelopment. These new measures require changes to the way co-permittees
plan,design,review,approve and monitor public and private development projects.The Program's
most significant challenge over the next several years will be to comply with the Provision C.3'
requirements.Administrative and technical support services are required if the Program and its co-
permittees are to comply with the Provision C.3 mandates.
SUBJECT: APPROVE contract with Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting in the amount of$240,000
for the period November 1, 2003 through June 30, 2005, Countywide. (Cities, Towns and
County Stormwater Utility Fee Assessments) (All Districts) Project No. 0929 6x7102

The Program's Management Committee directs program activities and resources.The Management
Committee consists of one representative from each of the twenty-one(21)'co-permittees.To direct
and coordinate implementation activities in compliance with the Provision C.3 mandates, the
Management Committee established a C.3 Oversight Committee and three Work Groups.To assist
and support the Work Groups, the Management Committee also approved up to $550,000 for
administrative and technical consultant services.
IV. Consequences of Negative Attion:
If the consulting services agreement with Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting is not approved,
then the Program and co-permittees will lack the support they need to be in compliance with our
Joint Municipal NPDES Permit, or more specifically, the Provision C.3 mandates. The Regional
Water Quality Control Board may impose fines totaling $10,000 per day and $10 per gallon of
discharge in non-compliance with the Joint Municipal NPDES Permit.
