III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Regulations for stormwater discharges on
November 16, 1990 requiring Contra Costa County, nineteen (19) of its incorporated
cities and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to
implement their Joint Municipal NPDES permit for stormwater discharges issued by the
San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The
Permits seek to significantly reduce or eliminate all pollutants from entering the waters of
the San Francisco Bay- Delta Region.
The Contra Costa Clean Water Program Management Committee manages the Clean
Water Program. The Committee is made up of representatives of each of the nineteen
(19) cities, the County, and the Flood Control District. An important requirement of the
Joint Municipal NPDES permit is to provide outreach and educate the general public on
Best Management Practices (BMPs) related to stormwater pollution prevention. In fiscal
year 2000/2001, the Stream Management Program for Private Landowners (SMPPL)
was administered through the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District (CCCFCWCD). Due to the success of SMPPL, the Flood Control
District requested that SMPPL be administered countywide through the Contra Costa
Clean Water Program. After consideration, the Contra Costa Clean Water Program has
agreed to expand and finance this program.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the consulting services agreement with the Urban Creeks Council of California is not
approved, then all municipalities will be in non-compliance with their Joint Municipal
NPDES permits issued by the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water
Quality Control Boards. Potentially, fines totaling $10,000 per day and $10 per gallon of
stormwater discharge for all affected entities could be imposed.
