111. Reasons for Recommendations and Backeroundr
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 &' 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 the County, each of the nineteen(19) cities, and the Flood
Control&Water Conservation District. An important;requirement of the Joint Municipal NPDES Permit is
to develop and implement a monitoring program plan designed to characterize stormwater discharges,assess
the adverse effects of stormwater discharges, and identify potential sources of pollutants found in
stormwater.The proposed Rapid Bioassessment Study is an integral component ofthe Program's monitoring
program plan, which will help reach these objectives and maintain Permit compliance.
IV. Consequences of Negative'Action:
If the consulting services agreement with Scott Cressey and Associates 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..
