INTRODUCTION This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) has two main objectives: To identify sources of pollutants associated with development that may affect the quality of storm water discharges, and To identify site specific best management practices to reduce or prevent pollutants in storm water discharges As part of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board's Order 2001-01, a SWMP is required on all existing and proposed "Priority Development Projects" as defined by F. I .b(2)(a) of that report. This project, Seabreeze Vacation Hotel, is identified as a priority project in Table I of the Standard Urban Storm Water Management Program because it consists ofoverlO attached residential units. B. SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION This site exists at the west end of Ocean Blvd. specifically at 3150 Ocean Street. it is bordered by Carlsbad Village Drive to the north, Coast Highway to the east and a public parking lot with beach access to the Pacific Ocean on the west. The 15,874 S.F. (0.36 acre) site consists of an existing three story vacation rental building including a 17 space parking lot. This surrounding area is completely developed with units similar to the proposed project. This facility was originally constructed in 1981 by Mr. Robert Miller and partners. Site visits were made on November 18 and December 6th, 2002. The facility was observed to be without debris or dirt. All parking areas appeared to have been recently swept. Landscaping was mature and no runoff water from sprinklers was observed. The site generally drains to the west. Drainage of the site is accomplished via overland sheet flow in a concrete ribbon gutter to the south of the site where it is collected in one 6"X 12" inlet, and to the north via PVC pipe. Approximate drainage calculations are available in Attachment A of this report for the existing site. Drainage facilities are shown on the Site Plan located in Attachment A. C. SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project consists only of remodeling the existing building. The 8 apartment units will be modified to 12 motel rooms. Because this is an existing project with little site construction, we will attempt to work with the existing facility to minimize storm water pollutants. IDENTIFIED POLLUTANTS AND SOURCES During the construction phase of the project, which is taking place within the envelope of the building, pollutants of concern may include: - Asphaltic emulsions associated with asphalt-concrete paving operations - Cement materials associated with PCC concrete paving operations, drainage structures - Joint and curing compounds - Paints - Solvents, thinners - Wood products - Drywall - Metal and plated products Pollutants of concern generated by the attached residential site are mainly concentrated around trash disposal and potential leakage from automobiles. In terms of a Post-construction phase, pollutants of concern may include: - General site litter - Fertilizer and Pesticides - Wash down water from Asphalt A further description of Pollutants and Sources of these polluants including there affects on the environment is included in Attachment "D" - General Catagories for Water Pollution. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES - CONSTRUCTION PHASE Best Management Practices (BMPs) are intended to provide measures which minimize or eliminate the introduction of pollutants into the storm water system. Because the construction in this project is concentrated inside the builiding BMPs in the construction phase of this project shall consist of education and good housekeeping practices as follows: Outdoor Storage - All construction materials shall be contained in a storage container or 40 covered to prevent pollutants from being washed into the storm drain system. 2 Trash - All wastes from the construction process shall be disposed of in the trash . recepticals. Regular trash pick-ups will be scheduled and dumpster areas will remain free of debris. Education - Owners will provide information from this document and available from other Agencies to educate contractor employees of good housekeeping practices that contribute to the protection of storm water quality. This education will address, but is not limited to the use and storage construction materials, BMPs regarding site cleanup, litter control and trash collection. (See all Attachments.) F. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES - POST-CONSTRUCTION PHASE Post Construction BMPs will be investigated in the following areas: Site Design BMPs Source Control BMPs Treatment Control BMP SITE DESIGN BMPs Site Design BMPs are design features that can reduce the creation or severity of potential pollutants and are provided for as the project is in the design phase. This project is existing and therefore would not be subject to site design criteria. However, the site was designed with some features that provide for limiting storm water pollutants, as follows: Trash Enclosure: The trash enclosure is walled-off and will not allow pollutants to be washed in the storm drain. Drainage is diverted away from the area. Landscaping: Landscaping around the building provides for infiltration of storm water and therefore lessening the runoff. All exists landscape will be preserved. SOURCE CONTROL BMPs Source control BMPs are designed to limit the quantity of storm water and poiluntants that exits a project site. Source Control BMPs include: Owner Education -The Owner will educate employees of general good housekeeping practices that contribute to the protection of storm water quality by providing information on Best Management Practices. (See All Attachments) Activity Restrictions - All activities will comply with Carlsbad Municipal Code. Specific 40 restrictions of the site will include, but are not limited to, the following: No Hosing of Paved Area - Parking are surfaces and driveways will not be cleaned by "hosing down", but will instead be swept clean or vacuumed, with collected waste disposed of in a covered container. Oil stains will not be cleaned via an acid wash of the driveway. Instead, oil stains and leaks will cleaned using rags or absorbents, then swept using granular solvent material, and finally mopped. Mop water shall be disposed of into a sanitary sewer facility. Trash - No rubbish, trash, garbage or other waste material shall be kept on-site or on any public street abutting the properties, except in sanitary container located in appropriate areas (trash containers). Drainage - There shall be no interference with or alteration of the established drainage pattern on the site unless an adequate alternative provision is made for proper drainage with the prior written approval of the City. Outside Storage - Storage of materials will not be allowed outside the main buildings unless authorized by the governing agencies. A revised SWMP will be issued in this event detailing the BMPs associated with outdoor storage. BMP Maintenance - Owner shall assign a person who will be responsible for implementation of each non-structural BMP and scheduled cleaning of all structural BMP facilities. (See Section V.) Permit Compliance - Owner will be responsible for relaying SWMP requirements to any future owner. Spill Contingency Plan - Owners shall provide and implement a spill contingency plan if Hazardous Wastes are known to be stored on property. Common Area Litter Control - Owners and Tenants shall implement a trash management and litter control program for the reduction of off site migration of trash. Owners and Tenants will be responsible for having the site inspected twice a week and cleaned as necessary. is Employee Training - Owners will periodically provide information from this document and 4 available from other Agencies to educate employees of good housekeeping practices that contribute to the protection of storm water quality. This education will address, but is not limited to the use and storage of chemicals, pesticides, BMPs regarding site cleanup, litter control and trash collection. (See all Attachments.) Common Area Catch Basin & Drainage Inspection - Owners will inspect and clean catch basins on a regular basis. All filters will be replaced per guidelines established by the manufacturer. (See Attachment Parking Lot Sweeping - Owners will ensure that the parking lot is swept as necessary, and not less than twice per year. The lot shall be swept prior to Storm Season, and no later than the 1St of October. Vehicle Washing - No Vehicles will be washed on site. 3) TREATMENT CONTROL BMPs Treatment Control BMPs are engineered systems designed to remove pollutants from urban runoff. The following Treatment Control BMPs will be implemented: Common Area Efficient Irrigation - Irrigation shall be implemented as indicated on the City approved Landscape Plans and be consistent with City water conservation resolution. This shall include programmable irrigation and run-off minimizing landscaping. Outdoor Storage - There will be no outdoor storage on this site. Catch Basin Stenciling - Phrase "No Dumping - Drains to Ocean" to be stenciled on catch basin and curb inlet to alert the public to the destination of pollutants discharged into storm water. For specification, consult City of Carlsbad, Streets Department. Water Quality Inlets - Special Fossil Filter (FLO-GARD PLUS by Kristar) - Surface runoff shall be directed to the existing structure with fossil filter wherever practicable. The fossil filter is designed to capture contaminate that normally enter inlets during low to medium flow and does not inhibit flow during high flow storm water runoff events. The specified inlet shall be installed to factory specification and maintained by the owners. The specified inlet is appropriate for removing all pollutants of concern. (See Attachment "B") 5 0 G. MONITORING, INSPECTION AND REPORTING The Owner or assigned person will inspect the site prior to a forecast storm and after a rain event that causes runoff form the site, or in dry weather intervals, monthly. The results of all inspections and assessments will be documented and copies of the complete inspection checklists will be maintained with the SWMP. Site inspections conducted for monitoring purposes will be performed using the inspection checklist shown in Attachment H. All BMPs will be followed and monitored. The owner will be in responsible charge for monitoring and maintaining the BMPs described in this document. A Tenant/Contractor Education Log is included as Attachment G to document all BMP education. 0 ATTACHMENT A VICINITY MAP LOCATION MAP SITE PLAN VIGIQ:IT-Y MA V •V• V VV V I) . V .

Burke of Eagle Engineering of Sacramento to demonstrate the actual hydraulic capacity of operating filters. The tests were conducted as a follow-on to the test program of the City of Sacramento entitled "Sacramento Stormwater Monitoring Program; NDMP Stormwater Control Measure Study". The tests - were conducted on two Fossil Filter drop-in units in the paved yard of Tenco Tractor in West Sacramento. Site 41:A square (24" x 24") drop inlet with a square welded steel grate mounting a square Fossil FilterTM (Model FF2424H) with a net length of the filter elements of 76" (6.3'). The manufacturer rates the capacity of Fossil FilterSTm as 12 GPM per linear foot of filter element. The manufacturer's rated capacity of the FF2424H filter is given by the formula 12 GPM x 6.3 LF = 76 GPM. Site #2: A round drop inlet (24" diameter) with a circular cast iron grate and mounts a round Fossil Filter TM (Model RF24) with a net length of filter element of 47" (3.9'). The manufacturer's rated capacity of the RF24 filter is given by the formula 12 GPM x 3.9 LF = 47 GPM. . TEST METHODOLOGY: Water from a fire hydrant was metered and fed to the sites through a 1 2 fire hose. A flow rate equivalent to the rated capacity of the filters was established and the performance of the filters observed. The flow rate was then increased to the maximum flow of the hydrant and the performance of the filters observed. OBSERVATIONS: At the manufacturer's rated capacity of 12 GPM/LF of filter, both filters flowed freely without backup or overflow; however, at the round inlet (Site #2), some water flowed along the bars of the grate into the inlet center and bypassed the filter. At the maximum available flow (approximately 100 GPM), the square filter flowed freely without backup; however, the velocity of the water as it struck the grate caused some splashing with localized overflow of the filter's inner baffle. The round filter also flowed freely without backup; however, an estimated 15% of the water flowed along the bars of the grate to the center and bypassed the filter. With the grate removed and the entire flow entering the filter, the flow exceeded the filter's capacity and the water overflowed the inner baffle. To recap, both Fossil FiltersTm performed satisfactorily at their rated capacity of 12 GPM/LF without backup or overflow. At maximum available flow (125% of rated capacity), the square unit was still operating well below ultimate capacity. The round unit, at a flow rate of 100 GPM (208% of capacity), was overwhelmed and the water overflowed the inner baffle. CONCLUSIONS: The tests demonstrated that Fossil FiltersTM can accommodate flows claimed by the manufacturer. With proper design and . installation of the inlet structure, the filters will accommodate flows well in excess of the manufacturer's rating. http://www.kristar.com/1eve12/info/infoA2.htm1 5/21/02 SPECIFIER CHART Model No. Catch Basin Size Grate Dimension Storage Capacity Clean Flow Rate (ID) (OD) (CU.

Back to Top of Page http://www.kristar.com/1eve12/productsIflogardp1us.htm1 5/15/02 7: Fossil FiIter' Maintenance a FOSSIL FILTER TM MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES THE NEED FOR AN EFFECTIVE POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM When installed in a drainage inlet catch basin or tank, Fossil FilterTM is an effective tool in the effort to reduce pollution of lakes, rivers, streams and oceans caused by pollutants borne in urban water runoff. Within the United States, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) .. has, via the Clean Water Act (CWA), mandated that states and cities implement Storm Water Pollution Prevention Programs (SWPPP) to curtail pollution from water runoff. The EPA cites Best Available Technology (BAT) criteria for states and cities to use. Fossil Filter TM meets the BAT criteria. Once installed, the Fossil Filter TM becomes subject to the provisions of the CWA's Best Management Practices (BMP) dictates. According to the EPA, BMP's include the development of a plan to prevent pollution from urban water runoff. Responsibility for developing the plan ultimately rests with the landowner. A natural component of any plan is the establishment of an overall maintenance program. Note: Without an established maintenance program, Kri Star Enterprises cannot warrant the effectiveness of the Fossil Filter. An effective maintenance program should include the following key components: 1. REGULAR SWEEPING AND REMOVAL OF DEBRIS: Vehicle parking lots, corporation yards, and so forth should be swept on a regular basis. Sediment and debris (litter, leaves, papers and cans, etc.) within the area, especially around the drainage inlet, should be collected and removed. The frequency of sweeping should be based on the amount of sediment and debris generated. 2. REGULAR INSPECTIONS: The Fossil Filter TM installation should be inspected on a regular basis. The frequency of inspection should be based on pollutant loading, amount of debris, leaves, etc., and amount of runoff. Manufacturer recommendations include no less than three inspections per year. Manufacturer guidelines for timing of inspections are: For areas with a definite rainy season: Prior to and during the rainy season. For areas subject to year-round rainfall: On a recurring (preferably scheduled) basis. For areas with winter snow and summer rain: Prior to and just after the snow season and during the summer rain season. For filters not subject to the elements (washracks, parking garages, etc.), inspections should be on a regular basis. 3. CONDUCT OF THE VISUAL INSPECTION: a. After broom sweeping and removing debris from around the inlet, the catch basin grate should be removed and the condition of the screens checked. b. The installed adsorbent should be inspected. For Hydrocarbon (Drop-In) units with screens covering the adsorbent, the screen's condition should be http://www.kristar.coin/levei2/.;ervice/serviceA.htmi 5/15/02 ird the dd§af6ent Visually inspected through the screen. If excessive silt covers the top of the adsorbent or if the adsorbent granules are more than one-half coated with a dark gray or black substance, the adsorbent should be replaced (see 4 below). . c. For Flo-Gard units with adsorbent pouches, the condition of the pouches should be checked and a visual inspection made of the enclosed adsorbent. As above, if the granules are covered, the pouches should be replaced. A For the FloGard filters, which have a fabric filter body, the serviceability of the fabric should be determined and, if called for, replaced with a new one. e. The filter components should be replaced in the inlet and the grate replaced. 4. REPLACEMENT OF THE EXPOSED ADSORBENT FILTER MEDIUM: To avoid spilling the exposed (and clean) adsorbent filter medium into or onto the surrounding surface, the person replacing the adsorbent should move away from the inlet and work over a large work cloth. All exposed adsorbent and collected debris must be dumped into a DOT- approved container for later disposal. The method of replacing the adsorbent depends on the type of filter: For filters with removable filter cartridges, the cartridges need to be removed from the filter, the end caps removed and the exposed material poured out. For filters with one-piece top screens, the entire filter needs to be removed to the work area, the top screen removed and the exposed material poured out. For filters with adsorbent pouches, the pouches need to be removed and disposed of. For 1) and 2) above, new adsorbent will be poured into the adsorbent containment area to a level about 1 1/2 inches from the top screen when the filter cartridge or filter is level. Note: Overfilling will result in decreased filtering efficiency. For 3) above, new adsorbent pouches are snapped into place. . 5. DISPOSAL OF THE EXPOSED ADSORBENT: The exposed adsorbent is non-biodegradable, non-leaching and non- carcinogenic so, with proper handling and documentation, it can usually be disposed of at a landfill. However, because disposal regulations vary by area, it is recommended that the persons disposing of the material contact their local regulatory agency and landfill to ensure compliance with local and state environmental regulations. Note: As the generator, the landowner is ultimately responsible for the proper disposal. 6. REPLENISHMENT OF ADSORBENT MATERIAL SUPPLY: Persons responsible for maintaining Fossil Filters" should keep a sufficient amount of Fossil Rock TM adsorbent on hand to replace the installed adsorbent plus an additional amount to be used in case of dry land oil spills. To reorder Fossil Rock, see below. Note: Fossil Rock adsorbent is the only tested and approved material for use in Fossil FilterTm products. KriS far Enterprises, the manufacturer of Fossil Filter, cannot guarantee a similar level of filter efficiency with the use of other materials. If you have questions about the Fossil Filter TM products or Fossil Rock TM adsorbent, please call KriStar Enterprises at (800) 579-8819. .Back tQ Too cfPg.e -.- http://www.kristar.com/leve12/service/serviceA.htm1 5/15/02 stormwater runon PRODUCT DESCRIPTION APPLICATION 1L1xFloGJ±Phjs A multipurpose For areas with low to higher than catch basin insert normal sediment, trash, debris designed to and moderately high levels of capture sediment, petroleum hydrocarbons such as debris, trash & parking lots as well as public and oils/grease from private streets. low (first flush) flows.

ABOUT URBAN AND STORM WATER RUNOFF... Urban and storm water runoff is a serious concern, in both dry and rainy season. It is contaminated with pesticides, fertilizers, animal droppings, trash, food wastes, automotive byproducts and other toxic substances that are part of our urban environment. Waters that flow over streets, parking lots, construction sites and industrial facilities carry these pollutants through a 5,000-mile storm drain network directly to the lakes, streams and beaches of Southern California. Urban runoff is the largest source of unregulated pollution to the waterways and coastal areas of the United States. Locally, we see the impacts in increased health risks to swimmers near storm drains, high concentrations of toxic metals in harbor and ocean sediments, and toxicity to aquatic life. These impacts translate into losses to the County's $2 billion a year tourism economy, loss of recreational resource, dramatic cost increases for cleaning up contaminated sediments and impaired function and vitality of our natural resources. HISTORY The Clean Water Act of 1987 established requirements for storm water discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NPDES) program. In response to those requirements, the State of California issued a five-year permit for municipal storm water discharges to Los Angeles County in June 1990. The 1990 permit was very general in nature, resulting in storm water programs that varied widely from city to city. The 1996 permit, a reissuance of the 1990 permit, therefore seeks to provide better direction by specifying actions needed to comply with permit requirements. This permit is the result of one and a half years of discussions between representatives of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board), Los Angeles County, the City of Los Angeles, three smaller cities, and the environmental community. It also incorporates extensive comments received from all interested parties on two earlier drafts. GOALS OF THE MUNICIPAL STORM WATER PERMIT . To attain and protect the beneficial uses of water bodies in Los Angeles County; . To reduce pollutants in stormwater to the maximum extent practicable; and http://www.1astormwater.org/pages/npdes1it.htm 5/13/02 L.A L..... To evaluate e0mp11enee with the objective and requirements contained in the permit. REQUIREMENTS OF THE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM In general, the permit requires implementation of both the Storm Water Management Program contained in the permit, the elements of the Countywide Stormwater Management Plan (CSWMP) or Watershed Management Area Plans (WMAP) that will be developed pursuant to the permit. The Countywide Storm Water Management Plan and Water Management Area Plans Much of the permit details the Storm Water Management Program elements and "what' should be induded in the CSWMP. Developing the specified program elements will require that Permittees determine 'how" actions will be implemented. Program elements, once developed, will then be compiled into the unified implementation plan known as the CSWMP. The Watershed Management Area Plans are to be devdoped later in the permit cycle. They are based on the requirements of the permit and the SWMP, but will also indude actions that address water quality problems concerns that are unique to the six watershed areas of Los Angeles ounty. Once developed and approved, the WMAP superceded the CSWMP. The storm water management program is comprised of seven elements, the objectives of which are to: Effectively manage and coordinate implementation of the storm water program; Identify and eliminate illicit connections and illicit discharges to the storm drain system; Reduce storm water impacts associated with development and redevelopment projects; Reduce storm water quality impacts associated with public agency activities; Increase public knowledge about the impacts of storm water pollution and about actions that can be taken to prevent pollution. Increase knowledge and understanding about the quality, quantity, sources, and impacts of urban runoff; and Evaluate the effectiveness of implementing storm water management programs. http://www.1astormwater.org/pages/npdes1ithtm 5/13/02 ATTACHMENT "D" GENERAL CATAGORIES FOR WATER POLLUTION Urban runoff from a developed site has the potential to contribute pollutants, including oil and grease, suspended solids, metals, gasoline, pesticides, and pathogens to the storm water conveyance system and receiving waters. For the purposes of identifying pollutants of concern and associated storm water BMPs, pollutants are grouped in nine general categories as follows: Sediments -Sediments are soils or other surficial materials eroded and then transported or deposited by the action of wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediments can increase turbidity, clog fish gills, reduce spawning habitat, lower young aquatic organisms survival rates, smother bottom dwelling organisms, and suppress aquatic vegetation growth. Nutrients- Nutrients are inorganic substances, such as nitrogen and phosphorus. They commonly exist in the form of mineral salts that are either dissolved or suspended in water. Primary sources of nutrients in urban runoff are fertilizers and eroded soils. Excessive discharge of nutrients to water bodies and streams can cause excessive aquatic algae and plant growth. Such excessive production, referred to as cultural eutrophication, may lead to excessive decay of organic matter in the water body, loss of oxygen in the water, release of toxins in sediment, and the eventual death of aquatic organisms. Metals -Metals are raw material components in non-metal products such as fuels, adhesives, paints, and other coatings. Primary source of metal pollution in storm water are typically commercially available metals and metal products. Metals of concern include cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and zinc. Lead and chromium have been used as corrosion inhibitors in primer coatings and cooling tower systems. At low concentrations naturally occurring in soil, metals are not toxic. However, at higher concentrations, certain metals can be toxic to aquatidlife. Humans can be impacted from contaminated groundwater resources, and bioaccumulation of metals in fish and shellfish. Environmental concerns, regarding the potential for release of metals to the environment, have already led to restricted metal usage in certain applications. Organic Compounds -Organic compounds are carbon-based. Commercially available or naturally occurring organic compounds are found in pesticides, solvents, and hydrocarbons. Organic compounds can, at certain concentrations, indirectly or directly constitute a hazard to life or health. When rinsing off objects, toxic levels of solvents and cleaning compounds can be discharged to storm drains. Dirt, grease, and grime retained in the cleaning fluid or rinse water may also adsorb levels of organic compounds that are harmful or hazardous to aquatic life. Trash & Debris -Trash (such as paper, plastic, polystyrene packing foam, and aluminum materials) and biodegradable organic matter (such as leaves, grass cuttings, and food waste) are general waste products on the landscape. The presence of trash & debris may have a significant Pointer No. 2 EPA84 1-F-96-004B Opportunities for Public Involvement in Nonpoint Source Control S / Over the last 25 years, communities have played an important role in ; addressing nonpoint source (NPS) pollution, the Nation's leading source of water quality problems. When coordinated with federal, state, and local environmental programs and initiatives, community-based NPS control efforts can be highly successful. To learn about and help control NPS pollution, contact the community-based organizations and environmental agencies in your area. These groups often have information about how citizens can get involved in the following types of NPS control activities. v•'-'------ -- - Volunteer Monitoring • Local groups organize volunteers of all skill levels to gather water quality data. This information can help government agencies understand the magnitude of NPS pollution. More than 500 active volunteer monitoring groups currently operate throughout the United States. Did you know Monitoring groups may also have information about other NPS that volunteers pollution projects, such as beach cleanups, stream walks, and often collect restoration activities. information on the Ecological Restoration health of water- ways and the Ecological restoration provides opportunities for the public to help out extent of NPS with a wide variety of projects, such as tree planting and bank pollution? stabilization in both urban and rural areas. Restoration efforts focus on degraded waters or habitats that have significant economic or ecological value. Educational Activities NPS pollution occurs when I Teachers can integrate NPS pollution curricula into their classroom water runs over land or throu gh activities. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), federal the ground, picks up pollutants, and state agencies, private groups, and nonprofit organizations offer and deposits them in surface waters or introduces them into teachers a wide variety of materials. Students can start on an NPS groundwater. control project in the primary grades and carry their work through to the intermediate and secondary levels. Water Conservation Using technologies that limit water use in the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, lawn, driveway, and . garden can reduce the demand on existing water supplies and limit the amount of water runoff. More than 40 states now have some type of water conservation program to help citizens and businesses implement conservation practices. Government agencies, utilities, and hardware stores have information about different products that help households conserve water. http://www.epa.gov/OWOW/NPS/facts/point2.htm 9/27/01 Household Management Learning to limit NPS pollution at the household level can reduce the overall impacts of NPS pollution on water quality. Households, for example, can irrigate during cooler hours of the day, limit fertilizer applications to lawns and gardens, and properly store chemicals to reduce runoff and keep runoff clean. Chemicals and oil should not be poured into sewers, where they can result in major water quality problems. Pet wastes, a significant source of nutrient contamination, should be disposed of properly. Households can also replace impervious surfaces with more porous materials. Public Meetings and Hearings Decisions made during public hearings on stormwater permitting and town planning can determine a community's capability to manage NPS pollution over the long term. Laws or regulations may require federal, state, or local agencies to hold public hearings when permits are issued or when town plans are formed. Notices about hearings often appear in the newspaper or in government office buildings. Community Organizations Many communities have formed groups to protect local natural resources. These community-based groups provide citizens with information about upcoming environmental events in their watershed, such as ecological restoration, volunteer monitoring, and public meetings. Watershed-level associations are particularly effective at addressing a wide range of NPS pollution problems. 0 Environmental Information on the Internet Citizens can obtain a tremendous amount of environmental data and educational material with a computer linked to the World Wide Web. EPA's site (http://www.epa.gov) on the World Wide Web provides up-to-date information on Agency activities and enables citizens to find out about air and water quality data in specific communities. EPA supports NPSINFO, a forum for discussion of NPS issues, including NPS education. Citizens with access to e-mail can subscribe to NPSINFO free of charge by sending an e-mail message to: listserverunixmaiLrtpnc.epa.gov and include in the body of the message: subscribe NPSINFO (your first name) (your last name) Other federal, state, tribal, and local agencies, as well as businesses and nonprofit groups, also provide environmental information on the World Wide Web.

Since 1990, recipients of 319 grants have directed approximately 40 percent of awarded funds toward controlling NPS pollution from agricultural lands. In addition, nearly one-quarter of the money was used for general assistance purposes, including funding for outreach and technical assistance. Efforts to control runoff from urban sources, septic systems, and construction also received significant funding under section 319, as NPS pollution occurs when did projects to manage wetlands and NPS pollution from forestry, water runs over land or through habitat degradation, and changes to stream channels. the ground, picks up pollutants, and deposits them in surface In 1991, EPA established the National Monitoring Program to evaluate groundwater, the effectiveness of NPS pollution control projects. Fourteen state- proposed projects will be evaluated over a 6- to 10-year period. The findings from this effort will help states, territories, and tribes develop more successful NPS pollution controls in other watersheds. As of 1995, EPA had awarded states, territories, and tribes $370 million under section 319 to implement NPS pollution control. Section 319 Success Stories provides examples of how states, territories, and tribes chose to use section 319 funds. 0 How Section 319 Works Assessment Reports http://www.epa.gov/OWOW/NPS/facts/point4.htm 9/27/01 All states, territories, and some tribes have met two basic requirements to be eligible for a section 319 .grant, the first of which is to develop and gain EPA approval of a NPS pollution assessment report. In the assessment report, the state, territory, or tribe identifies waters impacted or threatened by NPS pollution. The state, territory, or tribe also describes the categories of NPS pollution, such as agriculture, urban runoff, or forestry, that are causing water quality. Management Programs To meet the second requirement a state, territory, or tribe must develop and obtain EPA approval of a NPS pollution management program. This program becomes the framework for controlling NPS pollution, given the existing and potential water quality problems described in the NPS pollution assessment report. A well-developed management program supports activities with the greatest potential to produce early, demonstrable water quality results; assists in the building of long-term institutional capacity to address NPS pollution problems; and encourages strong interagency coordination and ample opportunity for public involvement in the decision-making process. How to Get Involved The addresses and telephone numbers of state and territory nonpoint source officials are listed in the Nonpoint Source Water Quality Contacts Directory. These individuals can inform citizens about section 319 program activities in their home state or territory. They can also let citizens know how to become involved in the periodic updates of section 319 NPS assessments and NPS management programs.

The coastal nonpoint program strengthens the links between federal and state/territory coastal zone management and water quality programs in order to enhance efforts to manage land management activities that degrade coastal waters and coastal habitats. State and territorial coastal zone agenci e s and water quality agencies have coequal roles, as do the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the federal level. Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Programs In 1995, coastal states and territories submitted their coastal nonpoint programs to EPA and NOA A http://www.epa.gov/OWOW/NPS/facts/point5.htm 9/27/01 }'Wttlll tU .kPllH 8: • for review and approval. States and territories are scheduled to implement the first phase of their approved program by 2004 and, if necessary, the second phase by 2009. Approved programs inclu d e several key elements, described below. Boundary. The boundary defines the region where land and water uses have a significant impact on a states or territorys coastal waters. It also includes areas where future land uses reasonably can be expected to impair coastal waters. To define the boundary, a state or territory may choose a region suggested by NOAA or may propose its own boundary based on geologic, hydrologic, and other scientific data. Management Measures. The state or territory coastal nonpoint program describes how a state or territory plans to control NPS pollution within the boundary. To help states and territories identify appropriate technologies and tools, EPA issued Guidance Specifying Management Measures for Sources of Nonpoint Pollution in Coastal Waters. This technical guidance describes the best availa b l e , economically achievable approaches used to control NPS pollution from the major categories of l a n d management activities that can degrade coastal water quality. States or territories may elect to implement alternative measurement measures as long as the alternative measures will achieve the sa m e environmental results as those described in the guidance. Enforceable Policies and Mechanisms. States and territories need to ensure the implementation of the management measures. Mechanisms may include, for example, permit programs, zoning, bad actor laws, enforceable water quality standards, and general environmental laws and prohibitions. State s a n d territories may also use voluntary approaches like economic incentives if they are backed by appropriate regulations. Final Approval and Conditional Approval In certain circumstances, NOAA and EPA may grant a program conditional approval for up to 5 years. Conditional approval provides a state or territory additional time to fully develop its management program while it begins initial program implementation. Conditional approval would include benchmarks for progress toward eventual full program development and approval.

In addition, population and development trends indicate that by 2010 more than half of the Nation will live in coastal towns and cities. Runoff from these rapidly growing urban areas will continue to -s-' degrade coastal waters.

Water remains above the surface, accumulates, and runs off in large amounts.

In turn, this groundwater. will result in lower water depths during non-storm periods, higher than 4 normal water levels during wet weather periods, increased sediment loads, and higher water temperatures. Native fish and other aquatic life cannot survive in urban streams severely impacted by urban runoff. Increased Pollutant Loads. Urbanization also increases the variety and amount of pollutants transported to receiving waters. Sediment from development and new construction; oil, grease, and toxic chemicals from automobiles; nutrients and pesticides from turf management and gardening; viruses and bacteria from failing septic systems; road salts; and heavy metals are examples of pollutants generated in urban areas. Sediments and solids constitute the largest volume of pollutant loads to receiving waters in urban areas. When runoff enters storm drains, it carries many of these pollutants with it. In older cities, this polluted runoff is often released directly into the water without any treatment. Increased pollutant loads can harm fish and wildlife populations, kill native vegetation, foul drinking water supplies, and make http://www.epa.gov/OWOW/NPS/facts/point7.htm 9/27/01 recreational areas unsafe. 0 Point and Nonpoint Distinctions There are two different types of laws that help control urban runoff: one focusing on urban point sources and the other focusing on urban nonpoint sources. Urban point source pollution is addressed by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit program of the Clean Water Act, which regulates stormwater discharges. Urban nonpoint source pollution is covered by nonpoint source management programs developed by states, territories, and tribes under the Clean Water Act. In states and territories with coastal zones, programs to protect coastal waters from nonpoint source pollution also are required by section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments. Measures to Manage Urban Runoff Plans for New Development New developments should attempt to maintain the volume of runoff at predevelopment levels by using structural controls and pollution prevention strategies. Plans for the management of runoff, sediment, toxics, and nutrients can establish guidelines to help achieve both goals. Management plans are designed to protect sensitive ecological areas, minimize land disturbances, and retain natural drainage and vegetation. Plans for Existing Development Controlling runoff from existing urban areas tends to be relatively expensive compared to managing runoff from new developments. However, existing urban areas can target their urban runoff control projects to make them more economical. Runoff management plans • for existing areas can first identify priority pollutant reduction opportunities, then protect natural areas that help control runoff, and finally begin ecological restoration and retrofit activities to clean up degraded water bodies. Citizens can help prioritize the clean-up strategies, volunteer to become involved with restoration efforts, and help protect ecologically valuable areas. Plans for Onsite Disposal Systems. The control of nutrient and pathogen loadings to surface waters can begin with the proper design, installation, and operation of onsite disposal systems (OSDSs). These septic systems should be situated away from open waters and sensitive resources such as wetlands and floodplains. They should also be inspected, pumped out, and repaired at regular time intervals. Household maintenance of septic systems can play a large role in preventing excessive system discharges. Public Education. Schools can conduct education projects that teach students how to prevent pollution and keep water clean. In addition, educational outreach can target specific enterprises, such as service stations, that have opportunities to control runoff onsite. Many communities have implemented storm drain stenciling programs that discourage people from dumping trash directly into storm sewer systems.
