(Stormwater Utility Fee Assessments) (All Districts) Project No. 0929 6x7038 DATE: April 15, 2003 PAGE: 2 II. Financial Impact: The cost is estimated to be $75,000 and shall be funded by stormwater utility fee assessments collected by the cities and county, apportioned to their respective populations. III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Regulation for municipal 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 obtain a Joint Municipal NPDES permit from the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The Permits require municipalities to eliminate all pollutants from entering the municipal storm drain system. The Contra Costa Clean Water Program 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 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 Rapid Bioassessment Study undertaken by Scott Cressey is an integral component of the Program's monitoring program plan,which will help reach these objectives and maintain Permit compliance. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: If the contract extension with Scott Cressey and Associates is not approved, the study may not be completed and all municipalities could be found in non-compliance with the Joint Municipal NPDES permits. Potentially, fines totaling $10,000 per day and $10 per gallon of stormwater discharge for all affected entities could be imposed. t CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT 1. Special Conditions.

Attachments:Appendix A,Appendix B Form approved by County Counsel(11/00) G:\GrpData\NPDES\BO—Res—Contracts-Agmt\Scoft Cressey&Associates12003 CSA.doc APPENDIX "A" 2003 RAPID BIOASSESSMENT PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK The consultant's scope of work for the CCMAP's 2003 Rapid Bioassessment Project (Project) includes the following responsibilities: • Select and mark the benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) sampling stations on new streams; • Locate previously established BMI sampling stations on designated streams sampled in 2002 and refresh markers as needed; • Select and mark a repeatable photo point at each BMI sampling station and take one digital photograph per station at the time of the BMI sampling; • Sample macroinvertebrates at 28-33 designated stations following CSBP protocols; • Process 10 randomly chosen samples with additional BMI for methods comparison; • Supervise citizen volunteers in sampling four stations on Alhambra Creek; • Record ambient water chemistry and Physical Habitat Assessment data at each macroinvertebrate station following the CSBP; • Measure and record stream flow at each BMI sampling station during the macroinvertebrate samplings; • Arrange and contract for laboratory processing and analysis of all macroinvertebrate samples, plus QA/QC samples; • Prepare and submit a First Draft, Second Draft, and Final Report describing the methods and results of the 2003 sampling effort; • Attend up to three meetings at the Program's office in Martinez; and • Participate in the citizen volunteer training session in March, 2004. STUDY AREA Consultant responsibilities during the past two years of the CCMAP's Rapid Bioassessment Projects have included sampling 10 stations in the Alhambra Creek drainage. In 2003 this procedure will be modified as follows: four stations in this drainage will be sampled by citizen volunteers under the Consultant's supervision. In addition to supervising and assisting citizen volunteers in the Alhambra Creek drainage, the Consultant will be responsible for sampling the following drainages: • Pinole Creek (2002 BMI stations PNL-1 through PNL-10 plus SI-1); • Upper Marsh Creek (2002 BMI stations CUR-1,UMR-1, UMR-2, and UMR-3); • Mallory Creek(2002 BMI stations MAL-1 and MAL-2); and • Las Trampas Creek (10-12 new BMI stations). SAMPLING METHODS Methods for BMI community sampling, photographing sites, establishing coordinates, recording water quality characteristics, and characterizing the physical habitat of each BMI sampling reach • s will follow the protocols used during the Program's 2002 field effort. "Pebble counts," a quantitative substrate measurement technique used in the 2002 effort, will not be employed during the 2003 study. The protocols for these methodologies are described in detail in the report entitled, "2002 Rapid Bioassessment Project"by Cressey & Associates and EOA, Inc. on file with the Contra Costa Clean Water Program. SAMPLE PROCESSING Sample processing and BMI identification will be conducted by qualified subconsultants. The BMI identification will be contracted to a specialist who participates in the California Bioassessment Laboratories Network (CA.MLnet) and is approved for CSBP sample analysis by the Water Pollution Control Laboratory, California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). All BMI samples will be processed following CSBP protocols. In particular, organisms will be randomly selected from a grid until 300 macroinvertebrates have been removed. These organisms will be identified by a qualified entomologist using the Level I Standard Taxonomic Effort as described in the CSBP. The 2003 Project will differ from the 2002 effort in that a methods comparison will be incorporated into the sample processing. One randomly chosen sample from each of 10 stations sampled in 2003 will have an additional 200 macroinvertebrates removed for identification and enumeration following the standard procedure of removing 300 macro invertebrates. This will allow a comparison of the results of working with 300 macroinvertebrates per sample versus 500 per sample. Quality control and assurance (QA/QC) of laboratory identifications will be conducted by randomly selecting 10% of the samples collected and re-identifying the organisms contained within the voucher samples. QA/QC analysis will be conducted by a CDFG approved laboratory. SCHEDULE The 2003 BMI sampling will begin in late March or early April as dictated by flow conditions in the streams to be sampled. It is anticipated that sampling Alhambra Creek with the citizen volunteers will occur on weekends to accommodate their schedule. Unless unusual weather conditions occur, sampling will be completed by the end of April or shortly thereafter. The first draft Report will be submitted to the Contra Costa Clean Water Program for technical review by November 30, 2003. A second draft will be submitted within 15 calendar days of receiving comments on the first draft. A final report will be submitted no later than January 31, 2004. Participation in the citizen volunteer training session is anticipated to occur in March 2004. PROJECT DELIVERABLES The products submitted to the Program will consist of two draft versions and a final version of the report. The draft reports will be submitted to the Contra Costa Clean Water Program as one unbound copy of each. The Final Report will be submitted the Program as five bound copies and one unbound reproducible copy. a < V APPENDIX"B" Cressey&Associates Cost Estimate 2003 Rapid Bioassessment Study LABOR Person-Hours by Task Tasks S.
