SUBJECT: REQUEST THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER
CONSERVATION DISTRICT TO ADOPT THE STORMWATER UTILITY ASSESSMENT

)EST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)& BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1.
Recommended Action:
,REQUEST the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to adopt the
stormwater utility assessment levies for Stormwater Utility Area 17 (unincorporated County) for FY
1994-95 at an Equivalent Runoff Unit (ERU) rate of $16.20.
[I. Financial Impa
The 1994-1995 rate per ERU is the same as that setforfiscal year 1993-1994. Therefore, there will
be no change in rate for unincorporated County property owners. The unincorporated area of Contra
Costa County will produce approximately$1,489,900 which will be used to pay the costs associated
with implementing Contra Costa County's Stormwater Management Plan,
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Under the Federal Pollution Control Act, prescribed discharges of stormwater require a permit from
the appropriate California regional water quality control board underthe National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Program. The County applied for and received an NPDES Permit
which requires the implementation of selected best management practices to minimize or eliminate
pollutants from entering stormwaters.

Adopt the Stormwater Utility Assessment Levies for Stormwater Utility Area 17
(Unincorporated County) for Fiscal Year 1994-95
April 26, 1994
Page 2
111. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (Continued)
The County intends to utilize funds received from the stormwater utility area for implementation
of the NPDES Programand drainage maintenance activities. The stormwater utility area was
formed in 1993, and included the adoption of Stormwater Utility Assessment Drainage Ordinance
No. 93-47 which set the rates for fiscal year 1993-1994. The Stormwater Utility Area and
Program Group Costs Payment Agreement between Contra Costa County and the Contra Costa
County Flood Control and Water Conservation District requires that the County annually, by
May 1, determine the rate to be assigned to a single ERU for the forthcoming fiscal year.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the rate per ERU is not set for the coming fiscal year, funds will not be available for the
implementation of the County Stormwater Management Plan. 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.
