(Cities and County Stormwater Utility Fee Assessment Funds) (All Districts) Project No. 7519 6x7173 DATE: June 20, 2006 PAGE: 2 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT: The cost is estimated to be$25,000;and,shall be funded by stormwater utility fee assessments collected by the cities and county proportioned to their respective populations. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND: The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)Regulations 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 Urban Creeks Council provides a technical contact point for landowners who want to correctly mitigate and improve the quality of their creeks. The municipalities refer residents calling with problems. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Urban Creeks Council provides a clearing house of focusedinformation for landowners in all municipalities. The loss of this resource to municipal landowners would be a substantial loss for all. CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT 1. Special Conditions.

Clearing House and Referral System a. The Urban Creeks Council (UCC) will respond on behalf of the Contra Costa Clean Water Program (Program)to telephone requests for assistance in mitigating creek problems and flood damage in Contra Costa County. From information gathered during telephone conversations, UCC will provide one or more of the following responses as deemed appropriate by UCC: 1. Site visit; 2. A detailed letter, listing observed problems with recommended actions for resolution; 3. A list of Bay Area consultants and resources available for advancing recommended in-the-ground stream restoration projects and bank stabilization techniques; 4. A list of appropriate riparian plants native to the Bay Area; 5. Detailed information on soil bioengineering techniques from the Urban Creeks Council library of materials based on the SMPL user's needs. b. UCC will log incoming SMPL related calls into UCC's SMPL spreadsheet using UCC's in-take form. All site visits will be conducted within 30 days of the caller's initial request, with a letter of observations/recommendations mailed within 21 days of the visit. c. The Program will receive upon request: 1. Electronic copy of each mailed consultation letter to landowners in the Contra Costa County; 2. Fliers to be used to promote SMPL in the county; 3. A list of SMPL call-ins in spreadsheet or database format in the County; 4. Copies of any materials distributed to SMPL users from UCC's resource library. 2. Concentrated Assistance a. Upon identifying areas of stream-related problems shared by multiple properties, UCC will organize community workshops, where community agrees, to address systematic problems rather than focusing on each property's problems. These interactive workshops will be tailored to each individual watershed and creek. Workshop attendees will receive a stream restoration manual created for SMPL, so they can review information in common and hopefully initiate successful restoration projects in a collaborative manner. Fundamental elements for SMPL workshops will include: 1. An overview of creek and watershed functions, processes, and dynamics (including the importance of riparian plants); 2. Likely causes of common creek-related problems; 3. Easily implemented stream management measures addressing erosion, flooding, and pollution prevention; and, 4. Soil bioengineering techniques (whenever possible, a hands-on bioengineering demonstration will be incorporated). b. UCC will provide continuing support for streamside communities through SMPL, including serving as a liaison between neighborhood groups and public agencies, organizing workshops & community meetings, assisting in the development of conceptual restoration strategies, and assisting in the navigation of regulatory permit processes. Through SMPL, UCC will also provide grant writing assistance as appropriate to support sustained community-based activities aimed at resolving shared stream-related problems. 3. Follow-Up and Evaluation a. UCC will follow-up with SMPL users about their creek-related problems within one year of the initial phone call. SMPL user feedback surveys will also be conducted annually. To gage how often SMPL recommendations are implemented (or if not, why?), UCC will enter follow-up responses into its tracking system. The review of this data will help UCC evaluate SMPL and develop strategies for more effective future implementation. 4. Program Administration a. UCC will submit SMPL quarterly progress reports to the Clean Water Program by November 1, 2006, February 1, 2007, May 1, 2007 and August 1, 2007. Each quarterly report will include an invoice of costs generated that quarter. The quarterly reports will summarize program accomplishments for the quarter, outlining how the activities conducted met the objectives of the program. b. UCC will also submit a detailed end-of-year report by September 1, 2007 covering all program activities during the previous twelve (12) month period. c. All reports will include 1) a financial summary detailing SMPL expenditures, 2) a table of clearinghouse calls and site visits conducted, and 3) a summary of where and when workshops were held, with a copy of the participant sign-in sheet. d. In addition to reporting, SMPL administrative tasks will include program planning, outreach materials development, database development& upgrade, and other activities to promote and improve the program. 1 b.
