REVIEWED BY:
The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), through its Executive Officer, has
specified a wet weather storm water monitoring program to be implemented by the San Diego
County Municipal Storm Water Discharge Co-Permittees during the FY 1994-95 storm season.
The sampling and testing requirements of the monitoring program are detailed in the RWQCB,
San Diego Region document entitled "Monitoring and Reporting Program Order No. 90-42"
dated June 30, 1994 (copy enclosed).
It is proposed that the San Diego County Co-Permittees agree to participate, for the second
year, in a cooperative program to accomplish the required wet weather monitoring and to share
the costs of the monitoring. It is necessary to retain a consultant to conduct this required wet
weather monitoring in compliance with RWQCB Order No. 90-42 (US. Environmental
Protection Agency Permit No. CAOI08758). The City of San Diego, as principal permittee and
leader in the implementation of Order No. 90-42, will retain that consultant and administer a
contract with said consultant on behalf of the San Diego County co-permittees.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the agreement and authorize the City
Engineer to execute on behalf of City.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On July 20, 1990 the RWQCB issued an "early" NPDES permit (RWQCB Order No. 90-42),
a waste discharge permit regulating discharges from municipal storm water conveyance systems
in San Diego County, for the San Diego Region. The permit covers all of the eighteen
incorporated cities, the County of San Diego, and the San Diego Unified Port District One
task requires the development and implementation of a wet weather monitoring program.
On June 30, 1994, the Executive Officer of the RWQCB, San Diego Region, administratively
issued "Monitoring and Reporting Program Order No. 90-42". This program consists, in
general, of obtaining grab and/or flow-composited storm water and sediment samples and
9,/

performing chemical and physical analyses on said samples. The co-permittees do not have
the staff expertise to perform the required sampling and testing. Therefore, it is necessary to
retain a consultant to conduct the monitoring program in compliance with RWQCB Order No.
90-42 (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Permit No. CAOI08758).
This is the second year that the San Diego County Co-Permittees will have agreed to
participate in a cooperative program to accomplish the wet weather monitoring required by
RWQCB Order No. 90-42 and to share the costs of said monitoring. As in FY 1993-94, the
agreement will bind the City of San Diego, which is the principal permittee and leader in the
implementation of Order No. 90-42 , with the responsibility of retaining a consultant, with the
advice and consent of the San Diego County co-permittees. Further, the City of San Diego
will administer a contract with said consultant on behalf of the co-permittees. The agreement
specifies that costs to the City of San Diego for the administration of the consultant contract
will be borne solely by the City of San Diego. The agreement further specifies that each
agency's share of the FY 1994-95 wet weather monitoring program costs shall be based upon
a formula in which one-half of the program costs are divided evenly among the co-permittees
and one-half of the program costs are divided based upon urbanized population in accordance
with the Co-permittee Implementation Agreement, adopted by City Council Resolution Number
16072. All of the San Diego County co-permittees have received the agreement and their staffs
are currently seeking their respective agencies' authorizations to participate in said agreement.
Chula Vista's share of the co-permittee wet weather monitoring program was $9,772.73 in FY
1993-94 out of a total program cost of approximately $185,000. Because this amount was
under $10,000, Chula Vista's participation was approved administratively, in accordance with
City procurement policy, and did not require City Council authorization. Chula Vista's share
in FY 1994-95 will not exceed $28,018.12, based upon a projected total program cost of
approximately $500,000. RWQCB conditionally approved the first year's program (1993-94)
with the indication that the same program would not be approved by 1994-95. For the 1994-95
program, the RWQCB mandated more stream monitoring stations and the addition of
construction site monitoring. Thus, the cost of the wet weather monitoring program is
increasing from $185,000 in 1993-94 to approximately $500,000 for 1994-95. The agreement
provides for fifty percent of Chula Vista's maximum share ($14,014.06) to be paid to the City
of San Diego by January 1, 1995. At the conclusion of the wet weather season, and after all
consultant billings have been received, the City of San Diego will invoice the co-permittees
for the balance due in accordance with the cost-sharing formula specified above.
If the City does not participate in the FY 1994-95 San Diego County Co-Permittee Joint Wet
Weather Monitoring Agreement, RWQCB staff has indicated that the RWQCB will order
Chula Vista to individually develop and implement a total wet weather monitoring program.
Staff estimates the cost to the City for such a program to be from $150,000 to $200,000 per
year, based upon overall consultant costs to the co-permittees for the performance of wet
weather monitoring in FY 1993-94. The RWQCB has indicated that they would prefer to deal
1':2.

with all the agencies on the cooperative permit, but that if any Cities do not wish to be a part
of that permit, those cities would be required to set up a full, but scaled down program. The
full program includes setting up monitoring sites for commercial, residential and industrial uses,
construction sites, and sediment monitoring in San Diego Bay. Because there would be many
more monitoring sites in Chula Vista and other elements such as the sediment monitoring
would be duplicative of the regional effort, the costs for a separate program are considerably
higher. These costs also include consultant sampling and laboratory testing three times per
year at each of four to six storm water conveyance system outfall locations within the City of
Chula Vista, whereas the approved cooperative program includes only two sites in Chula Vista.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not-to-exceed $28,018.12 in FY 1994-95. It is proposed that the cost
of consultant services be funded using unencumbered funds from the Storm Drain Revenue
Fund (Fund Number 227), which was established in July 1990 for the purpose of funding the
implementation of the NPDES program. Funds in the amount of $95,000 to cover Chula
Vista's share of wet weather monitoring consultant costs have been programmed as part of the
approved FY 1994-95 NPDES Program budget. This difference in budgeted versus actual costs
is due to the fact that the co-permittees were uncertain as to what the final requirements for
the FY 1994-95 wet weather monitoring program would be.
