ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City of Carlsbad is required under federal and state law to have a permit reg
drainage system discharges (both storm water and non-stormwater). To me
requirement, the City has been a co-permittee of the San Diego Region’s National PC
Discharge Elimination System Permit since July 16, 1990. This permit is expiring i
region is in the process of developing a new permit.
In May, 1995, the Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a draft permit.
receiving comments, they decided to revise the permit. As of January 30, 19!
revised draft permit has not been issued, but is expected shortly. It is currently antic
that a final permit will be considered by the Board in May or June, 1996.
The new permit will be more specific in its requirements and as a result, citize
businesses in Carlsbad may need to implement a number of programs to minim
pollution of storm water and eliminate the discharge of substances other than storr
into the City’s drainage system. A Comprehensive Storm Water and Urban
Management Program is being considered which will include the following compc

written and the latest draft is attached for your information. It should be noted
draft ordinance will be updated based on the requirements of the new per
comments from other interested parties. Once this information is integrated into 1
ordinance, it will be brought forward for formal City Council consideration.
The new permit will also require the City to implement a Best Management F
Program, Under this program, municipal, construction, commercial and industria
will manage their operations in a way which minimizes the pollution of water entc

These options will require further study and consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council accept and file the Storm Water
Management Program Status Report. It is further recommended that the City (
adopt the attached Resolution to appropriate $25,000 from the General Fund bala
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans for City-owned facilities and authorize staff tc
a Request for Proposal.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans for City-owned facilities will
a $25,000 appropriation from the General Fund Balance.
Initial start-up costs for the NPDES program currently under consideration are est
at $229,000. Ongoing costs could range from $227,000 to $492,000 per year. Th
total cost for the first year of the program could be between $456,000 and $721 ,OOC
program costs over five years are estimated between $1,364,000 and $2,689,00(
wide range is due to the fact that the permit is open to interpretation by the Regiona
in terms of required levels of street sweeping and storm drain cleaning. Actual cc
vary depending upon the ultimate levels of service required.
Funding sources which may be considered include the General Fund, fees charged
water hill, and community service districts.

CITY OF CARLSBAD
Storm Water Quality Management Program
Status Report
A. Background
Pollutants in storm water discharges are largely uncontrolled not only in the City of Carlsba
but in most cities in the United States. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency h
determined that pollutants in runoff from urban areas and from construction sites are a leadii
cause of water quality impairment. In recognition of this problem, Federal Legislation w
enacted which now requires that the City of Carlsbad establish a Storm Water Quali
Management Program.
The new regulations are called the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES
They were established under the 1972 Clean Water Act which was reauthorized as the Wat
Quality Act of 1987. These regulations require the Environmental Protection Agency @PA)
establish permit application requirements for:
1) Storm water discharges associated with large municipal jurisdictions being served 1
separate storm drain systems; and,
Storm water discharges from any jurisdiction whose storm water discharged in
receiving waters found to be in violation of established water quality objectives. 2)
The task of administering the Water Quality Act in California was delegated by the EPA to t
Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQC
for the San Diego Region issued Order No. 90-42 on July 16, 1990, naming the City
Carlsbad as a co-permittee on a Regionwide NPDES permit. This permit is expiring and t
RWQCB is expected to issue a new five year permit in May or June, 1996.
Jurisdictions which do not comply with the provisions of the NPDES program can face penalti
of up to $25 ,OOO per day.

Congress is currently considering the reauthorization of the Clean Water Act. TI-
reauthorization could reduce the impact of NPDES on cities. Locally, San Marcos and tl
County of San Diego have expressed concern that "DES is an unfunded mandate. Howeve
both entities have subsequently elected to comply with the regulations and the terms of tht
existing permits.
The San Diego Region NPDES Permit issued in 1990 is expiring and the local jurisdictions ha
been meeting with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to develop a new permit. In Ma,
1995, the Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a draft permit. After receivir comments, they decided to revise the permit. As of J~uary 30, 1996, the revised draft pern
has not been issued, but is expected shortly. It is currently anticipated that a final permit w
be considered by the Board in May or June, 1996.
C. Pedt Requirements
Although a final permit has not yet been adopted, following are the elements included in t
most recent draft permit. It is anticipated that most of these requirements, in some form, w
be included in the final permit.
1. Discharge Specifications
In general, the City is required to prohibit any discharge other than storm water to j
drainage system. However, if the City can implement and monitor a best manageme
practices program to the satisfaction of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Contr
Board Executive Officer, the following classes of non-stormwater discharges may 1
allowed.
m Water line flushing
0 Landscape irrigation
e Diverted stream flows
Rising ground waters
Uncontaminated ground water infiltration to stormwater conveyance systems
e Uncontaminated pumped ground water
Discharges from potable water sources
m Foundation drains
0 Air conditioning condensation
e Irrigation water springs

2. Comprehensive Storm Water and Urban Runoff Management Program
The new storm water permit will require the City to implement a comprehensive stor
water and urban runoff management program over the next five years. This progra
will have impacts on City operations, construction practices, and commercial ar
industrial business operations. The required components are listed below ar
subsequently described in more detail.

3. Legal Authority
The City is required to obtain the legal authority needed to implement the provisions (
the permit. This means that the City must enact an Ordinance making it illegal to spil
dump, or dispose of materials other than stormwater into the storm drain system. TI
intent of the ordinance is to protect and enhance the water quality of the City
watercourses, water bodies and wetlands in a manner pursuant to and consistent with tl
Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
City employees will be trained on the requirements, how to recognize violations, ar
how to report a violation. When violations are observed, an investigation will 1
conducted, violators will be held accountable for compliance with the code, and,
appropriate, civil or criminal legal proceedings initiated. An ordinance will be present6
to the City Council for consideration after the permit is finalized (draft copy attached
4.
The purpose of the Illicit Connection and Illegal Discharge (IC/ID) Detection Progra
is to detect and eliminate illicit connections and illegal discharges to the storm watt
conveyance system. The program will consist of detection of IC/IDs, follow u
investigation, and elimination of each IC/ID. Following are two examples of situatior
that would be addressed under this program.

6, Wet and Dry Weather Monitoring Programs
A major task necessary to establish a comprehensive Storm Water Quality Manageme
Program is implementation of a program for the testing and monitoring of storm watc
flows. Testing and monitoring is necessary to determine the type, quantity ar
characteristic of the pollutants within the various conveyance systems and within tl
receiving waters in the City. Testing is conducted on dry weather flows to detect illeg
dumping or connection of non-storm water into the conveyance system. Wet weathc
testing is done during storm events to determine the residual pollutant loads from all no]
point sources within the drainage basin.
As required under the current permit, Carlsbad has been an active participant in
regionwide wet weather testing program through a contract with the City of San Diegc
The current program tests storm runoff at 15 locations of representative watershec
throughout the county and documents the pollutant loadings from a minimum of tu
storm events. Two of these stations are within the City of Carlsbad.
Dry weather testing is used primarily to detect illicit connections. The RWQCB h(
indicated a willingness to consider a graduated testing program which begins at tl
receiving water and progresses up stream until there are no further water quali
violations.

The new permit will require the City to submit a report describing estimated reductio1
in storm water pollutant loads expected as a result of the implementation of tl

8. Fiscal Analysis
The new permit will require each jurisdiction to establish a dedicated funding source 1
ensure that all required programs can be implemented. Options include the Gener
Fund, fees, community service districts, and other mechanisms which provide ongoir
revenues.
9. Memorandum of Understanding
In order to remain as a co-permittee with the other jurisdictions in the San Diego regioi
the City must enter into a memorandum of understanding. This agreement indicates th
the City of San Diego will act as lead agency and outlines the cost sharing formula th
activities of the co-permittees with the Regional Board, submitting all documents requiri
by the permit, providing information to the co-permittees regarding State and FedeI,
regulations, and submitting proposed wet weather monitoring plan modifications to tf.
Regional Board. Copermittees retain the responsibility for funding and implementir
stormwater programs within their own jurisdictions. A copy of the draft agreement
attached. It is anticipated that this agreement will be submitted for City Counc
consideration shortly after the new permit is adopted.
10. Reporting Requirements
Carlsbad will be required to provide an annual report to the Regional Water Quali
Control Board on all of its activities regarding NPDES. In addition, various othr
compliance reports will be required.

D. Existing and Proposed Programs
The City has been complying with the existing provisions of Order 90-42 through a number t
different efforts. Operationally, crews are available to respond to minor incidents of impropl
discharge to storm drains. Staff has also provided oversight to volunteers who have stencilc
public information logos on storm drain inlets. The City implemented a dry weather testir
program in 1993, 1994, and 1995 and also participates in the regionwide wet weather testin
program. From an administrative standpoint, the City has met all of the reporting requiremen
of Order 90-42 and has also adopted a Storm Water Quality Management Plan as part of tf.
Drainage Master Plan. For public education purposes, an article appeared in a recent Parks an
Recreation summer schedule publication sent to all residences in Carlsbad. The article include
a phone number to call to report illegal dumping incidents.

It is currently unknown the extent to which increased storm drain maintenance and increasec
street sweeping will be required. Significant increases could be quite costly. The annual COI
to increase the frequency of street sweeping from monthly to twice a month is approximate1
$86,000. Less precise estimates are available for additional storm drain cleaning, but those cost!
could range from $50,000 to $200,000 per year. The permit as currently structured is open t(
interpretation by the Regional Board which would be in a position to define the levels of servict
in these potentially costly areas.
E. Implementation Alternatives
After the permit is adopted, Carlsbad will have options regarding its implementation. Onr
possibility is to hire additional staff and conduct the stormwater program in-house. Anothe
option would be to contract with another agency to provide this service such as the Encirx Wastewater Authority. These options require further study and consideration.

F. Program Funding
This section was prepared under the assumption that the NPDES program will be performed ii
house. After the permit is adopted, the work program will be refined and more detailed cos
and options will be provided. The following is a preliminary estimate.
Initial start-up costs for the NPDES program currently under consideration are estimated I
$229,000. Ongoing costs could range from $227,000 to $492,000 per year. Thus, the total co
for the first year of the program could be anywhere between $456,000 and $721,000. Tot
program costs over five years are estimated between $1,364,000 and $2,689,000. This wic
range is due to the fact that the permit is open to interpretation by the Regional Board in term
of required levels of street sweeping and storm drain cleaning. Actual costs will vary dependin
upon the ultimate levels of service required.
There are several alternative funding sources that could be used including the General Fund, fec
charged on the water bill, and community service districts. These options need to be studie
further to determine which one will be most effective in the City of Carlsbad.

ORDIIIANCE ru'O.'S 202 AND 205
Attached you will find information with regard to the aforemention ordinances of the Olivenhain Municipal Water District establishing
revised rates, fees and charges.
The District has implemented a six tiered fee schedule that
increases in cost in accordance with the amount of water used. This schedule is a cost savings to those who continue to conserve
water at a rate of 20% or more.
The District's capacity fees were increased only by an amount tc
correspond with the construction cost index as reflected in the
Engineering News Record (ENR).
Meter installation fees were not sufficient to meet the District's costs and were revised appropriately.
The increase in service charge was based on the capacity available €or the voiume of water of each size meter.
If YOU should have any question please feel free to contact the
District. Thank you.
