WHEREAS, on February 21, 2001, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional
Board) adopted the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Permit, Order No. 2001-01 (Municipal Permit); and
WHEREAS, the Municipal Permit requires that all municipalities of San Diego County
(including Chula Vista) as well as the San Diego Unified Port District and the County of San
Diego, collectively referred to as the Co-permittees, prepare and submit a model Standard Urban
Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and individual local SUSMP's to the Regional Board for
review and approval; and
WHEREAS, the SUSMP's set out standards for permanent structural Best Management
Practices (BMP's) on high priority development and redevelopment projects in order to ensure
that such projects will not adversely impact the quality of receiving waters and sensitive areas
during the post-construction phase of the project; and
WHEREAS, the model SUSMP was developed by the Co-permittees and approved by
the Regional Board on June 12, 2002; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista's local SUSMP is based on the approved model
SUSMP and sets out standard procedures for new development and redevelopment, that fall
within the priority development project categories, to identify potential short term and long term
pollutants from their projects, identify pollutants of concern in the receiving waters, and develop
BMP's to prevent impairment of beneficial uses of the receiving waters; and
WHEREAS, a manual was also developed to guide the developers and construction
permit applicants through the process of determining if they are required to comply with the
SUSMP requirements, and provide guidelines for selecting the most suitable permanent BMP's
and determine the size of the BMP's for the site conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that
there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment;
therefore, pursuant to Section 150610o)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not
subject to CEQA, thus, no environmental review is necessary.
