7. Reports:

A. Trash Update (Beth Baldwin) 1. Receiving Water Monitoring Plan for Trash: Baldwin informed the Committee that

Program consultant’s ADH has completed many of their wet-season site assessments. They will continue to do more dry season site visits to monitor and visually assess trash. Baldwin recommended that Permittees continue with their annual spring cleanups in their municipalities and choose a trash hot spot for ADH to monitor.

2. Mapping Private Drainage Areas that Drain to MS4: Baldwin stated that Program consultant’s PSOMAS provided a demonstration, at the March Program trash meeting, of an application to map private drainage areas larger than 10,000 square feet. She reviewed the criteria of what qualifies as a private land with Committee. She plans to have the tool available in April for Permittees to use to map the lands in their upcoming annual reports.

3. San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board’s 70% Trash Capture Enforcement Meeting on March 14, 2018: Baldwin gave a summary of the March 14 meeting that was held by Water Board staff. She stated that most permittees in the region were found to be in compliance or close to meeting the 70% trash reduction goal. Some cities that hadn’t met the goal discussed plans to become compliant. Baldwin stated that many local municipal representatives attended and some provided testimony at the meeting. The organizations Baykeeper and Save the Bay testified that visual assessments aren’t the best way to measure the volume of trash in the bay area. Staff from Caltrans discussed work that they are doing to meet their trash mandates in the permit. Baldwin stated that Caltrans is still offering to work with Permittees on mutually beneficial trash reduction projects and to contact her if anyone is interested or would like a copy of Caltrans’s drainage map.

4. B. Status Update on the Contra Costa Watersheds Stormwater Resource Plan (SWRP)

and Additional Program Support for Municipal Green Infrastructure Planning Processes: Kraai informed the Committee that the deadline for Permittees to turn in their prioritized SWRP project concepts has been extended to April 30. She’s working with Program consultants Dan Cloak and Lisa Austin to have a workshop where they’ll discuss the relationship between the SWRP, GI plan and the reasonable assurance analyses (RAA). Meanwhile, she suggested that Permittees contact her if they have any questions and that staff from Geosyntec are available to answer database questions. Kraai gave Committee members an update on the work that the Development

Page 6 of 7

Committee is doing to assist with providing a standardized document for Permittees to use to create their GI plans. A small group of Development Committee members is currently reviewing the GI plans that were produced for Santa Clara County. If the Development Committee approves of the plans, they will look to buy into the document and have it reconfigured for Permittees to use. Kraai gave Committee members an update on the meeting Program staff had with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). Program staff is working with their consultants to test the MTC’s Urban Sim software that will assist municipalities with their RAA development projections for 2020, 2030, and 2040.

C. Personnel Update: Riddle informed the Committee that interviews for the replacement analyst position will occur on April 10. Meanwhile, she will manage the PIP Committee and review the work that O’Dell began on revising the Program’s website.

round of self-introductions. Shen then proceeded to the agenda.

2. Permitting Mobile Food Truck Vendors in Contra Costa County: Martin Sum, Registered Environmental Health Specialist with Contra Costa Environmental Services, gave a PowerPoint presentation on permitting of mobile food truck vendors in Contra Costa County. He explained this permitting applies to commissaries (facilities that service mobile food facilities, mobile support units, or vending machines) and mobile food facilities including ice cream trucks, hot dog cards, sandwich trucks, etc. He briefly reviewed Chapter 10 of Health and Safety Code on Mobile Food Facilities and discussed permitting process for mobile business and covered topics of fees, inspections, application, and facility requirements such as minimum volume for wastewater tanks. Once permitted, each vehicle gets an annual sticker with their mobile permit number and if a vendor is caught operating a facility without a sticker; it can be cited by the Health Department. The presentation included photographs of many different types of vendor food trucks and food carts and their equipment including wastewater tanks, sinks, and other accessories. It also included photographs of violations of food safety and stormwater including out-of-temperature products, blocked hand wash sinks, and discharge of wastewater to MS4.

Questions were asked and answered. Permittees were informed that they should submit an application for temporary food events especially if mobile food vendors would be servicing the event. Committee members asked about obtaining a list of food trucks that are permitted in their jurisdiction and CCCWP staff agreed to obtain and distribute the list to each respective Permittees. Questions were also asked about discharging of wastewater and Sum explained that information is provided in the application including tank size and where the wastewater is discharged. Sum asked Committee members, however, who his agency should contact if they observe discharge of water or wastewater from a food truck to a storm drain inlet. Committee members responded his agency should contact that municipality’s respective Code Enforcement office or Stormwater Coordinator. Sum asked if Committee members could provide him with the correct contact information for each municipality for reporting of these prohibited discharges. CCCWP staff stated she will send Sum a contact list.

3. Provision C.10 – Final Guidance If Your Municipality Has Not Met the 70% Reduction Milestone:

CCCWP staff reminded Permittees who will not meet the 70% reduction in trash loads to meet with San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) staff and that when annual reports are submitted, those Permittees must also include a plan on how the 70% reduction will be achieved and that plan should include approach, budget, and timeline. Permittees also should report on their noncompliance to Water Board within 10 days of being aware of not achieving milestone.

4. Provision C.10 – Receiving Water Monitoring for Trash

a. Water Board Comments Letter and Response to Comments Table: CCCWP staff reviewed Water Board comments on the Receiving Water Monitoring Program Plan and the Response to Comment table that had been prepared by the consultant. CCCWP staff took notes of propose revisions and will compile those comments and submit to project consultant by close of business today.

b. Program Implementation – Next Steps: CCCWP staff discussed the substantial work that

will be required to obtain permissions for accessing the 30 probabilistic sites. She explained that many of the sites consist of multiple APNs and that the Program most likely will need to send 500 to 600 letters to obtain permissions to access these sites. CCCWP is working on a factsheet and permission letter and hopes to start sending the letters next week. Committee members offered to provide assistance if access is needed for properties within their jurisdiction. CCCWP staff also shared that Program will be meeting with ADH Environmental and monitoring contractors assisting other stormwater programs to do a trial run of applying the visual assessment protocol in the field. Program staff explained that a workshop will be held in the winter or early spring to train Permittees on how to conduct visual assessments of trash conditions on receiving waters. Finally, the Program will be working with ADH to draft a progress report on the Plan as required by MRP 2.0. This progress report will be submitted with the Program’s annual report. Committee members briefly discussed implementation of the Plan. Program staff responded that the adopted budget for this task for this fiscal year is for $150,000.

limited and a new contract will be executed. This new contract will be used to correct errorsand make improvements to the AGOL. Some examples of corrections and improvements tothe AGOL were given.

b. Improvements – Wish List: Program staff discussed the possibility of adding certainfunctionalities such as color coding of trash capture devices so Permittees could see whichdevices still need inspected or which don’t. She shared some of the work that the City ofWalnut Creek has performing with AGOL and how that work is greatly assisting itsmaintenance staff. It would also be useful if a report could be generated on trash capturedevices that listed devices, number of inspections, and provided other Collector attributeinformation. She suggested that the Program should invite Walnut Creek staff to give apresentation on how they are using AGOL. Other issues were discussed including how trashcapture drain areas are being drawn, slivers, and the problem with parcels that borderneighboring cities such as the issues the City of El Cerrito had when it was revising its trashgeneration rate of some border parcels. It was recommended that Committee membersprovide Program staff with their wish list items and any corrections that need to be made.

Another question was asked on how the Program will be assisting Permittees on addressingidentification of private lands draining more than 10,000 square feet requirement. Programstaff stated that their graduate student intern was working on possible approaches.

3. BASMAA’s Health Buildings Pilot Project - IPM Focus on Multi-Unit Housing: Contra Costa Clean

Water Program (CCCWP) staff BASMAA’s IPM Focus for Multi-Unit Housing project. The California Department of Pesticide Regulations funded this project which was designed to address stormwater pollution prevention challenges by combining water quality messages associated with outdoor use of pesticides with public health messages associated with indoor pest control methods.

After explaining the nature of the project, CCCWP staff introduced Mr. Luis Agurto. Jr, President of Pestec, the company that provided IPM services to the buildings that participated in this project. Mr. Agurto gave an overview of the project and included a summary of findings. He noted that the City of San Francisco has done a similar project with low-income multi-unit housing. He shared that 11 buildings located throughout the Bay Area participated in the 2-year project. The municipalities where the buildings were located also were involved with each city holding a kickoff meeting at the participating sites. Kickoff events included IPM educational materials in multiple languages, HEPA vacuum cleaners, and cleaning supplies. The IPM materials included pest cards which explained how to manage various pests including fleas, ants, cockroaches, and rodents. Bed bugs were not

1

included in this project due to potential costs issues but guidance was provided to property managers on treatment. Property owners and/or managers had to agree to use Pestec for pest control services (provided for free) and not use their own pest service providers and refrain from conducting their own pest spraying or applications during the project period. In addition to participating in the workgroup overseeing the study, Pestec’s work consisted of inspection of designated units in the participating buildings followed by cleaning, trapping, and treatment of pests based on IPM methods and then monthly monitoring. Cleaning approaches included removing of cockroach droppings that may aggravate asthma. Pestec’s IPM work included pest exclusion tactics such as sealing cracks and installing foam gaskets behind base plates and using reduced-risk chemical treatments like gel baits and setting stick traps. Mr. Agurto noted that one of the most helpful actions aimed at reducing pests was a spring cleaning event the City of San Jose sponsored for its residents participating in the project. The cleanup allowed residents to discard not only trash but lots of materials that would have provided habitat for pests and/or prevent effective cleaning. Other aspects of the project included follow up with local health clinics to help clients understand the connection between pests and their health and development of a Continuing Education Units called IPM in Multi-Unit Housing.

Mr. Agurto ended his presentation noting that while there was some reduction in outside use of pesticides, the project had more of a focus on indoor pesticide use especially because of its nexus to public health. He stated that if the focus is to look at pesticide use and water quality of storm water, it might be more useful to target higher income multi-unit housing.

4. C.4 Commercial and Industrial a. Annual C.4 Workshop: Location and Topics: CCCWP staff began by stating that it is the

Program’s intent to rotate the location of annual C.4 workshop and that this year, according to the rotation schedule, the workshop should be held in one of the West County municipalities. Joanne Le with the City of Richmond offered up a site in Richmond and Program staff will work with her on securing a facility for the workshop and where to hold a mock inspection.

CCCWP staff asked about topics for the workshop. Topics discussed included when to elevate Notices of Violations (NOV) to the next level of enforcement and how to obtain structural improvements at a facility prior to involving City or District Attorney. In presenting topics, Committee members responded to actions they have taken to achieve compliance including revoking a business’ use permit or publishing its name in the newspaper although that action was specific to wastewater violations. CCCWP staff asked Committee members if they were aware of their municipalities ever issuing fines for stormwater violations.

b. Subscription to CASQA’s Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbook Portal: CASQA’s Industrial and Commercial BMP Handbook is now available to Permittees. Each municipality is entitled to one user and the Program is considering providing the three wastewater treatment plants access to the handbook since they perform stormwater inspections of commercial and industrial facilities on behalf of 16 municipalities. Since Committee members were not clear who is the designated CASQA member for each municipality, they requested that Program staff ascertain that information at the next Management Committee meeting. They also asked Program staff to look into copyright issues should one user want to share a BMP recommendation from that handbook.

2

c. Ad Hoc Stormwater Inspector Workgroup: Program staff reported that the Ad Hoc Stormwater Inspector workgroup met on October 19. The workgroup consists of one representative from each of the three wastewater treatment districts, one representative from Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS), Hazardous Materials Programs and Environmental Health who conducts inspections on behalf of the County, municipal staff from Richmond and Brentwood since they conduct stormwater inspections and County Watershed Program since they oversee the inspections from CCHS. The workgroup briefly discussed the final guidance for inspecting NOI facilities and how to refer facilities, whose SIC Code requires them to obtain coverage under the Industrial General Permit, to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board). The workgroup reviewed Water Board’s Identifying PCBs in Industrial Setting flyer and the screening checklist for PCBs developed by the Program. They also talked about outreach to mobile businesses and Program staff reinforced the need to provide her with any enforcement actions taken against mobile businesses.

d. CAL EPA Complaint Management System Notices: Program staff shared that they receive emails from Cal EPA Complaint system and the importance to ensure that Permittees address these complaints immediately. Program staff will follow up with the respective municipality when they receive these notifications but they may not receive all such complaints. If a Permittees does receive a complaint, the Program is more than happy to assist the person with responding and how to navigate the system.

5. Provision C.10 – Trash Load Reduction:

a. Water Board’s Request for Visual Assessment Documentation: After review of Permittee’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2016/17 Annual Report, Water Board had contacted a number of municipalities throughout the Bay Area to provide additional information on visual assessments. In particular, Water Board wants documentation of the assessment including date, observed trash rate, and photographs. Water Board also contacted two Contra Costa Permittees on changes to trash generation rate baseline maps even though the changes were made prior to the FY 2016/17 Annual Report.

In response to Water Board’s request, Program staff held a special MOC Trash meeting to discuss how to respond and review possible approaches. She shared that Permittees from other counties had also received similar requests from Water Board and that she discussed with other stormwater program staff how they were responding and this topic was also discussed at the November BASMAA Trash meeting. CCCWP Permittees need to provide a response by December 18th and Program staff is working with PSOMAS to create a hyperlink to the Program’s ArcGIS Online (AGOL) so Water Board staff can view the assessments and photographs but only for those Permittees who were contacted. Committee members suggested that the Program should consider providing a hyperlink to AGOL to view Permittees visual assessments and potentially other trash-related data.

b. Developing Process for Identifying Privately Owned Lands Greater than 10,000 Square Feet

that Drain to MS4: Committee members discussed this requirement at length. Program staff acknowledged that while the graduate student intern had made some progress, it was not sufficient to really assist Permittees. This requirement had also been discussed at the

3

November BASMAA trash meeting. Most stormwater programs are using GIS target eligible lands but Permittees will need to finalize the list of eligible lands via field reconnaissance. Committee members asked if lands were defined as individual parcels and if it applied to private properties. Program staff reported that it is not parcel-based but rather contiguous properties that make up the 10,000 square feet and private properties are included but non-jurisdictional lands are not. Committee members also asked about properties owned by Caltrans and railroads and how Water Board is addressing trash on their lands especially since trash on their lands usually ends up within jurisdictional boundary of the municipality. Program staff stated that if a Permittee has a particular issue with Caltrans, we can contact that agency and look to address the issue together. She also shared that BASMAA Trash Committee is trying to get a representative from the BNSF Railroad to present at the Committee’s January meeting. And finally Committee members asked if guidance would be forthcoming on the approach Permittees would be using to meet the 10,000 square foot requirement. Program staff responded that a memo is being drafted and will be reviewed by BASMAA Trash Committee and, if approved, would be shared with Water Board.

c. Receiving Water Monitoring Program Plan (Plan): A brief update on the Plan and its

implementation was given. In November, a revised Plan was submitted to Water Board who is now reviewing the changes. It is anticipated that it will be approved since these change were agreed to by Water Board staff prior to Plan submittal. The only substantial changes to the Plan is the inclusion of boom monitoring and greater commitment to regional and statewide efforts to develop methodologies for trash monitoring in receiving waters. With respect to implementation, the Program has sent permission requests to approximately 500 property owners in order to access the 30 probabilistic sites and approximately half dozen sites had been monitored so far by ADH Environmental.

d. Proposed 1-Year Extension for EOA, Inc. Contract: CCCWP staff reported that EOA’s contract expires Dec 31, 2017 and that approximately $40,000 remains in that contact. Program staff is recommending extending that contract for one more year in case guidance or GIS assistance is needed to meet Provision C.10 Trash Load Reduction requirements. This contact extension request will be reviewed by Administrative Committee tomorrow.

6. BASMAA Trash Meeting a. November 28 Meeting Summary: Committee members discussed with Water Board staff the

request for visual assessment data, that status of Plan approval, and the approach being considered by Permittees to meet the private lands greater than 10,000 square feet that drain to MS4 requirement. Committee members also discussed with Water Board on reporting status of Permittees in meeting the 70% reduction. Water Board responded that they have met with most Permittees who did not achieve the 70% reduction and most likely NOVs will be issued and may include a fine and time schedule order.

b. Regional Project for FY 2018/19: Committee members reviewed a project concept that had

been drafted by Program staff to address the required submittal of a Preliminary Report on the Plan and its implementation for FY 2018/19, noting that a Final Report is also required in FY 2019/20. The project concept was drafted by the Program staff since she serves as the BASMAA Trash Chair and the concept recommends that the requirement be addressed as a regional project that BASMAA would oversee. The project would include data analyses at both the county and regional level and updating of California Environmental Data Exchange Network to

4

accept trash monitoring data. The project concept included an cost estimate of $40,000 to $50,000 and CCCWP would pay approximately 20% of that cost.

7. Old/New Business:

Joanne Le asks about training on landscaping for bioretention and Program staff responded they will look into that but also recommended that it be brought to the attention of the Development Committee. Program staff asked Committee members about canceling or rescheduling the January MOC meeting since it falls on a holiday. Committee members recommended canceling the January meeting.

8. Information Items: Information items shared with Committee members.

• Rescape California Training Opportunities • UC Statewide IPM Online Training

the meeting at 9:37 am. After self-introductions, she proceeded to the agenda.

2) Clean Water Program Budget: A. Review Draft FY 2018/19 Program Budget and Provide Input and Direction:

Adêle Ho provided handouts of the draft budget, policy issues and reserve summaries. She suggested that, since this year’s unspent monies are for tasks that are not completed and are continuing into the next fiscal year, instead of moving unspent monies into reserves that monies are carried over into next fiscal year’s budget. The Committee agreed to the change. Steve Spedowfski suggested removing the SUA Operating Fund Balance row from the reserve summary and placing it below, so that it does not appear to be money readily available for spending. Spedowfski pointed out that reserves are expected to run out in the next few years. Ho asked about increasing the Program’s contributions to the Operating Fund. No decision was made as to increasing the Operating Fund at this time. Amanda Booth asked if the Green Business Program’s work is possibly being duplicated by another consultant or outreach effort. She stated that items with potential overlap in terms of Permit compliance should be

monitored and could potentially be eliminated to reduce Program costs. Ho stated she would review the various programs and look for overlap. Ho reviewed the budget line items for Program Administration. She indicated that she added three rows that are dependent upon the outcome of the Staffing Plan that is currently being developed. The first row is for an additional staff person, the second row is for a GIS specialist, and the third row is a placeholder with a 5% increase in staffing costs in case Program staff positions are reclassified and/or a salary survey indicates that salaries should be increased. She requested feedback on raising the 5% to 10%. Billilee Saengchalern felt that 10% was too high. Rachel Kraai stated that the line item is currently just a placeholder because the Program still needs to have a study conducted by the County’s Human Resources Department to determine whether salary increases or reclassifications are warranted. Ho stated she would keep it at 5% for now as it will likely take 6 months - 1 year for completion of a reclassification analysis and salary survey.

3) Review of Management Committee Representation Discussion: Ho gave a brief overview of the discussion from January’s Administrative Committee meeting. A Permittee had asked for the option of having 5 duly authorized representatives on the Management Committee, but the Program Agreement only allows for two per municipality. The Program template letter for authorization of representatives allows for up to three. She stated that most Permittees have three duly authorized representatives and some have four. At the last meeting, some Committee members requested the ability to send any city staff person to attend and vote at Management Committee meetings but only allow duly authorized representatives to vote on items submitted to the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board). The Committee discussed the Program Agreement and the language that allows for substitutes to represent and vote, provided that they are designated in advance of the meeting. It was suggested that the “duly authorized” letter be revised to include duly authorized representatives as well as eligible substitutes, and then the duly authorized individual(s) could simply let Program staff know by e-mail in advance of a meeting if one of the substitutes will be attending to represent and vote for the Permittee. Cece Sellgren suggested reminding each municipality who their duly authorized representatives are at the March Management Committee meeting as an information item. It was recommended that Program Staff send out an updated “duly authorized” letter to all Permittees prior to next fiscal year. The Committee agreed to that suggestion.

4) Municipal Regional Permit Amendment Update: Ho is finalizing the draft email to Water Board staff that will address key issues and concerns that might come from the permit amendment. She will provide the draft email to Program staff and Region 5 Permittees to review prior to sending it to the Water Board.

2

5) Steering Committee Update: Mitch Avalon gave an overview of the formation of the Steering Committee and how Program staff has been participating in a staffing plan exercise. The staffing plan lists tasks, as well as both constrained and unconstrained hours spent on the tasks for the remainder of the permit term. He provided handouts with examples of the spreadsheets, as well as a list of Program staffing assumptions. He indicated that after staff fills out the spreadsheets and the hours are tallied, he will take the data and provide a staffing plan proposal at the next Steering Committee meeting on February 12.

6) Approve February 21, 2018 Management Committee Draft Agenda: A draft copy of the Management Committee agenda was provided to Committee members. Courtney Riddle discussed changing the approval of the upcoming C.3 and C.6 workshop from an action item to a report. She stated that because the budgets for the workshops were already approved with the Group Program Budget the previous March, the Management Committee should not have to approve them a second time. Committee members agreed. Moved/Seconded (Booth/Provost) to approve the draft agenda. Motion carried.

7) Old/New Business: Mike Carlson indicated that the consultant 2nd Nature had contacted him to discuss their reporting tools. Carlson stated he will look into the option of having the consultant do a brown bag luncheon presentation before an upcoming Management Committee meeting.

8) Adjournment: Vice Chair Mike Carlson adjourned the meeting at 11:52 a.m. Next Meeting: Tuesday, March 6, 2018, 9:30 am – 12 noon, 220 A Glacier Drive, Martinez, CA AH:RK:CR:elc G:\NPDES\Admin Committee\Minutes&Attend\17 18\AC Minutes 2018-02.docx

Date: April 18, 2018

To: Management Committee From: Lucile Paquette, Watershed Management Planning Specialist Subject: Action Item A- Approve the Formation of an Ad-Hoc Subcommittee for the Marsh

Creek Stressor Source Identification Study

Recommendation: Direct staff to form an Ad-Hoc Subcommittee to manage communications related to the Marsh Creek Stressor Source Identification (SSID) Study.

Executive Summary Clear lines of communication promote efficiency and help prevent misunderstandings. The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP) Monitoring Committee is overseeing an investigation of the sources and causes of nine fish kills that have been documented in Marsh Creek over the past twelve years. A subcommittee to facilitate communication among stakeholders will establish clear lines of communication among the numerous institutions (Figure 1) that have an interest in the Marsh Creek SSID study. CCCWP staff and Permittees who discharge stormwater runoff, dry weather flows, or treated wastewater to Marsh Creek are the proposed subcommittee members. The City of Brentwood (Brentwood), as a Permittee, and the CCCWP, as a representative of Permittees, are the only two institutions in Figure 1 that currently have direct legal responsibility to investigate the fish kills in Marsh Creek and report findings to the Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Unincorporated Contra Costa County (County) and the Contra Costa Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) have direct connections to Marsh Creek that potentially expose them to similar potential regulatory actions related to fish kills. The direct regulatory nexus to Marsh Creek establishes the basis for an Ad-Hoc Subcommittee (Subcommittee) membership. All CCWP Permittees have a collective regulatory requirement to perform a SSID study, prioritizing the most significant water quality impairments. CCCWP develops and implements SSID study work plans on behalf of all Permittees. In addition to Subcommittee members and other CCCWP Permittees, there are numerous stakeholders (Stakeholders) representing regulatory agencies and community institutions who may have an interest in the progress and findings of this SSID study. Focused communication maintains organization and efficiency in a complex, multi-party process. CCCWP staff would request that Subcommittee members respect three simple communication protocols:

2

Maintain a single, responsive point of contact between CCCWP and institutional Subcommittee members and Stakeholders.

Transmit new information from Subcommittee members to CCCWP and Subcommittee members only, rather than copying all Stakeholders.

Respect CCCWP Staff as the Single Point of Communication for distribution of Status Reports, Interim Data Reports, and the Final SSID Study Report.

CCCWP would ask that Subcommittee members and Stakeholders grant CCCWP staff the trust to gather, assimilate, analyze and interpret data, have findings peer-reviewed, and transparently share the peer-reviewed findings and recommendations with Subcommittee members. After review and approval by Subcommittee members and the CCCWP Monitoring Committee, status reports, interim reports, and the final report will be transmitted to the CCCWP Management Committee and Stakeholders. Respecting these protocols will make CCCWP staff’s work more efficient, and help to avoid premature speculation about sources, causes, and potential solutions to this complex problem. Background: The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP) Monitoring Committee is overseeing an investigation of the sources and causes of nine fish kills that have been documented in Marsh Creek over the past twelve years. In February 2018, the Monitoring Committee directed staff to proceed with the development of a stressor source identification (SSID) study work plan; this direction was subsequently approved by the Management Committee. The work plan is expected to be completed for Monitoring Committee consideration in July, 2018. Work plan development involves gathering information from key stakeholders. The work plan will include a detailed conceptual model that summarizes available information related to potential causes of fish kills, identifies management hypotheses and data gaps, and proposes monitoring tools to address data gaps and test management hypotheses. Distribution of the conceptual model to key stakeholders will inform them of progress and elicit feedback from them as interested parties who may have unique knowledge and perspectives to contribute. A subcommittee to facilitate this two-way communication will establish clear lines of communication among the numerous institutions (Figure 1) that have an interest in the Marsh Creek SSID study. The proposed Ad-Hoc Subcommittee does not create new work for CCCWP staff; rather, it organizes necessary communication for the SSID study to help staff operate more efficiently. Discussion: The regulatory framework establishes the lines of communication. The City of Brentwood (Brentwood), as a Permittee, and the CCCWP, as a representative of Permittees, are the only two institutions in Figure 1 that have currently direct legal responsibility to investigate the fish kills in Marsh Creek and report findings to the Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Brentwood has this responsibility as a result of a November 2017 order issued by the Central

3

Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) under the authority of California Water Code §13267. The order requires development and implementation of a monitoring plan to investigate the causes of Marsh Creek fish kills. Unincorporated Contra Costa County (County) and the Contra Costa Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) have direct connections to Marsh Creek that potentially expose them to similar potential regulatory actions related to fish kills. The CCCWP has a broader requirement established under Provision C.8.e of the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (MRP 2.0) to develop and implement SSID studies addressing water quality impairments detected through creek status monitoring. This requirement is established in MRP 2.0 issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFRWQCB), but also in the East County Municipal Stormwater Permit issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board to the cities of Brentwood, Antioch and Oakley, as well as unincorporated County and the Flood Control District. In 2018, East County Permittees intend to seek coverage under MRP 2.0 through the SFRWQCB. The CVRWQCB will continue to maintain compliance authority for issues outside the scope of MRP 2.0. Brentwood will continue to communicate directly with the CVRWQCB until the 13267 order requirements are fulfilled. The CCCWP will continue to communicate directly with both the CVRWQCB and the SFRWQCB throughout development and implementation of the SSID Study work plan. After East County permittees switch over to coverage under MRP 2.0, CCCWP staff will continue to inform CVRWQCB staff about progress and findings of the SSID study, out of respect for their ongoing compliance and enforcement authority in East County. If CVRWQCB staff seek additional information beyond the scope of the 13267 order and Brentwood’s response, CCCWP would recommend to both parties that the SSID study is the most effective process for investigation of the fish kills. Thus, over time the lines of communication can be simplified, allowing CCCWP staff to do their assigned job of informing staff of both regional water boards (Central Valley and San Francisco Bay) about progress and findings of the SSID study. Brentwood has already assigned staff to coordinate with the SSID study; that staff would be the Subcommittee representative for Brentwood. Among regulatory stakeholders, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) presently has the greatest direct interest in the SSID study. CDFW wardens perform inspections and assessments following fish kill events, and after the July 2016 event also performed tissue analysis of dead fish for pesticides. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has had minimal presence or interactions in relation to fish kills at Marsh Creek; this may be because there are no documented federally listed fish species in Marsh Creek. USFWS should be notified of their role as Stakeholders as a courtesy and invited to name a representative to receive updates and information. The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) have received information occasionally and informally (e.g., they were copied, along with numerous other parties, on the 2016 CDFW report on fish tissue concentrations of pesticides). The CDPR and CDFA involvement as Stakeholders would include seeking their review and comment on pesticide and toxicity assessments, inquiring about current and potential future pesticide usage and regulations, and informing them if study results lead to specific linkages between fish kills and pesticides. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) may be interested in knowing how monitoring results feed into the

4

CVRWQCB’s regular assessment of impaired waterbodies for updating the state’s 303-d list (the list of impaired waterbodies). Among community stakeholders Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed (FOMCW) and American Rivers are anticipated to be the most engaged Stakeholders. For the past two decades, FOMCW has conducted volunteer fish, bioassessment, and water quality monitoring. CCCWP is gathering and compiling their historic data as part of work plan development. American Rivers is the lead on many stream and habitat restoration projects in the watershed, including the Three Creeks Parkway Project. CCCWP has recently reviewed the monitoring and adaptive management plan for that project and made suggestions to American Rivers as to how their planned volunteer-led habitat and water quality monitoring conducted by FOMCW could include some monitoring that benefits the SSID study. FOMCW will continue to be an important resource for observing creek conditions and reporting fish kill events. This illustrates the type of important two-way communication between CCCWP and community Stakeholders that will continue through the subcommittee process. Engagement with East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) would likely entail informing the naturalist at Big Break Regional Park of the SSID study goals, schedule, and providing reports and information as they become publicly available. CCCWP regularly applies to EBRPD for permits to conduct monitoring, and has executed an encroachment permit for this SSID study. Identifying a single point of contact from EBRPD for Stakeholder communications is an efficient way to keep them informed. Participation from local agricultural stakeholders is important for discussions related to pesticides and dry weather flows. The Contra Costa County Agricultural Commission (Commission), like the CDPR and the CDFA, would be informed of investigations of pesticides and updated on progress and findings. As a local agricultural Stakeholder, the Commission is also an important source of information on local pesticide usage rates. Information obtained from the Commission was helpful in the completion of the pesticide toxicity SSID project implemented during MRP 1.0. The East Contra Costa County Irrigation District (ECCID) will be an important first point of contact for inquiries about dry weather flows related to agriculture. They have recently been informally copied by the District on various communications related to dry weather flows. Golf courses, homeowners associations, and other potential private property sources of dry weather flow are not proposed as Stakeholders at present. If, during the course of the SSID study, information is needed about irrigation practices from these community members, Brentwood is the appropriate first point of contact. Provision C.15 of MRP 2.0 allows discharge of non-stormwater flows from such irrigation activities, conditioned on municipal permittees (i.e. Brentwood) encouraging such private stakeholders implement water conservation practices and other Best Management Practices to avoid impairment of beneficial uses or creation of nuisance conditions. Polite requests for information from Brentwood would be an appropriate first step towards encouragement, if such action is needed.

5

Communication Protocols Focused communication maintains organization and efficiency in a complex, multi-party process. CCCWP staff would request that subcommittee members respect simple communication protocols:

Maintain a single, responsive point of contact between CCCWP and institutional Subcommittee members and Stakeholders.

Transmit new information from Subcommittee members to CCCWP and subcommittee members only, rather than copying all Stakeholders.

Respect CCCWP Staff as the Single Point of Communication for Status Reports, Interim Data Reports, and the Final SSID Study Report.

The execution of the SSID study is a defined regulatory requirement of CCCWP. Respecting these protocols will make CCCWP staff’s work more efficient, and help to avoid premature speculation about sources, causes, and potential solutions to this complex problem. Next Steps: The anticipated schedule of CCCWP Monitoring Committee and SSID Subcommittee activities through June 30, 2019 is shown in Table 1 below. Should the SSID study continue beyond June 2019, the annual cycle of reporting show for Fiscal Years 2018 – 2019 would repeat.

Date: April 18, 2018

To: Management Committee

From: Rachel Kraai, Program Staff

Subject: Staff Report A – Process for Selection of Management Committee

Chair and Vice Chair, and for Consideration of Municipal Subcommittee Representation for Fiscal Year 2018/19

Recommendations: 1. Receive report outlining the process for nominating and electing the

Management Committee Chair and Vice Chair, and for considering subcommittee voting membership for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018/19.

2. Complete and return the attached “Subcommittee Voting Membership Form”

to Erica Lashley-Cornell no later than Wednesday, May 2 indicating your municipality’s desired voting membership on subcommittees for FY 2018/19.

Background: Management Committee Chair and Vice Chair The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP) Program Agreement (2010-2025) stipulates the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Management Committee shall be chosen in May of each year to serve the following fiscal year. At the May 16, 2018 Management Committee meeting, the current Chair, Chris McCann, will accept nominations and conduct two elections. The first election will be to choose the Management/Administrative Committee Chair, and the second will be to choose the Management Committee Vice-Chair, both of which will be effective July 1, 2018. (Note: The Management Committee Chair is automatically the Administrative Committee Chair. A separate selection process is conducted by the Administrative Committee for electing its Vice-Chair at its July meeting.)

1

Subcommittee Voting Membership The CCCWP Program Agreement also requires Management Committee consideration of subcommittee voting membership for the coming fiscal year at its May meeting. The Management Committee Chair is responsible for recommending, after consultation with all Permittees, membership on the subcommittees effective July 1st. “Exhibit A” in the Program Agreement contains a five-year rotation guideline for voting participation on the Administrative Committee. For FY 2018/19, the cities of Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, Moraga, Brentwood, and Richmond, and Contra Costa County, and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District are scheduled to be voting members on the Administrative Committee. If the Management Committee elects a Chair from a municipality other than those mentioned above, then modifications to voting membership on the Administrative Committee for FY 2018/19 will be necessary. Subcommittee voting membership requirements and guidelines outlined in the Program Agreement (2010-2025) are as follows: • Administrative Committee:

a. Minimum number of voting members is seven (7). b. The Management Committee Chair shall serve as Chair of the

Administrative Committee. c. Contra Costa County and the Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water

Date: April 18, 2018

To: Management Committee From: Rachel Kraai, Senior Watershed Management Planning Specialist Subject: Staff Report B – Status Update on the Contra Costa Watersheds Stormwater

Resource Plan

Recommendation Receive a status update on the Contra Costa Watersheds Stormwater Resource Plan. Background In July 2016, the CCCWP was selected to receive a Storm Water Grant Program Proposition 1 Planning Grant for the development of the Contra Costa Watersheds Stormwater Resource Plan (SWRP). The grant agreement was executed in May 2017. The awarded grant amount is $499,420 with a match amount of $500,540. The SWRP uses a watershed-based planning approach to develop stormwater management project concepts which, if implemented, will help meet water quality requirements and provide additional benefits such as flood control, habitat restoration, community enhancement, and groundwater recharge where possible. A SWRP is now required in order to receive stormwater management funding from many different State grant sources. The SWRP will also help Contra Costa municipalities meet the green infrastructure plan requirements of their NPDES stormwater management permits. This includes MRP 2.0 Provision C.3.j.i.(2). MRP 2.0 Provision C.3.j.i.(2) requires that each Permittee prepare a Green Infrastructure Plan that contains, “A mechanism… to prioritize and map areas for potential and planned projects, both public and private, on a drainage area-specific basis, for implementation over the following time schedules, which are consistent with the timeframes for assessing load reductions specified in Provisions C.11. and C.12: (i) By 2020; (ii) By 2030; and (iii) By 2040. The mechanism shall include criteria for prioritization (e.g., specific logistical constraints, water quality drivers (e.g., TMDLs), opportunities to treat runoff from private parcels in retrofitted street right-of-way) and outputs (e.g., maps, project lists) that can be incorporated into the Permittee’s long-term planning and capital improvement processes.” In November 2017, the SWRP project team finalized the planning scale project identification, scoring, and prioritization methodology that was used to identify and preliminarily score green infrastructure projects for the SWRP, and which can be used by Permittees to partially meet the requirements of C.3.j.i.(2). In January 2018, the project team sent the resulting project opportunity lists to Permittees for review, vetting, and further prioritization by April 11th, 2018.

2

In response to Permittee requests, the deadline for review, vetting, and further prioritization of project opportunities was revised from April 11th to April 30th, 2018. In February 2018, the project team requested priority GI project concepts from Permittees and developed an initial recommended list of 10 project concepts to move forward for BMP conceptual design through the SWRP process. The initial recommended project list for BMP conceptual design and the approach for project selection was reviewed and discussed with the Management Committee at the February Management Committee Meeting. A revised final project list for BMP conceptual design was distributed to the Management Committee in early April. The project team is currently in process of developing conceptual designs for the projects included in the revised list. Discussion Program Staff will discuss the SWRP project prioritization process and answer questions as feasible within the time allotted. Program staff will also discuss the status of other SWRP deliverables as well as review upcoming deadlines relevant to Permittees.

Date: April 18, 2018

To: Management Committee From: Rachel Kraai, Program Staff Subject: Staff Report C - Reasonable Assurance Analyses Update Recommendation Receive an update on the development of the countywide Reasonable Assurance Analyses. Background Reasonable Assurance Analyses (RAA) are required by the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP), Order No. R2-2015-0049, Provisions C.3, C.11, and C.12. The permit mandated RAA should be a demonstration that the control measures proposed in Bay Area City and County Green Infrastructure Plans and PCBs and Mercury Control Measure Implementation Plans will meet the PCBs and mercury TMDL wasteload allocations for urban stormwater runoff over the defined period of time. The RAA should provide a method for evaluating the type, size, number, location, and phasing of green infrastructure measures needed to comply with the green infrastructure load reduction goals (i.e., 10 kilograms per year [kg/yr] mercury load reductions and 3 kg/yr PCBs load reductions by 2040) stated in MRP Provisions C.11/C.12.c. The MRP requires that both the green infrastructure RAA (C.11.c/C.12.c) and the wasteload allocation attainment RAA (C.11.d/C.12.d) be documented in the 2020 Annual Report.

Discussion Program staff will provide an update on the development of the RAA. Staff will discuss progress on the following:

• Reasonable Assurance Analysis Green Infrastructure Modeling Methodology Memorandum

• Collaboration with BASMAA agencies on RAA development • Communications with the Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding the modeling

methodology
