Backqround As part of the Federal Clean Water Act, public agencies are required to obtain an urban stormwater discharge permit referred to as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) to regulate the discharges to the agencies' stormwater systems when conducting construction activities. The City has long been a co-permittee with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), the County of Riverside, the Coachella Valley Water District, the City of Banning, and eight other Coachella Valley cities and shares the same NPDES MS4. Under the NPDES MS4 permit, municipalities are required to enter into an Implementation Agreement (Agreement) with the agencies that manage the regional and local stormwater facilities. The Agreement between the aforementioned co-permittees establishes the responsibilities of each party concerning compliance with the NPDES MS4 permit. On June 27, 2013, the City Council approved an amendment to the Implementation Agreement for City Council approval. This Agreement served as an interim agreement until the new NPDES MS4 permit was adopted. Contract No. C33550 Staff Report Authorize the Mayor to Execute the Municipal Stormwater Implementation Agreement Page 2 of 2 May 8, 2014 The current NPDES MS4 permit was adopted on June 20, 2013. The permit does not go into effect until June 20, 2014 when the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) is approved by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The attached Implementation Agreement replaces the interim agreement and will be in effect until 2018. Fiscal Analvsis The cost for the stormwater programs administered by the District for the Whitewater River Region NPDES is estimated to be $869,680. Based on population, the City's share is approximately $59,939.33. When the Fiscal Year 2014-15 budget was prepared staff included an estimate of $60,000. Because the District's estimate is not final, staff will address any additional funding needed at mid-year. Please note that the costs for the mandatory programs and services would be considerably higher if the City were to elect not to share costs with other agencies.
