HomeMy WebLinkAbout08 - Cooperative Agreement to Implement Total Maximum Daily Load Programs for Nutrients, Fecal Coliform Bacteria and Toxics in the Newport Bay WatershedCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: PHONE: April 25, 2023 Agenda Item No. 8 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL David A. Webb, Public Works Director - 949-644-3311, dawebb@newportbeachca.gov John Kappeler, Senior Engineer jappeler@newportbeachca.gov 949-644-3218 TITLE: Cooperative Agreement Programs for Nutrients, Newport Bay Watershed ABSTRACT: to Implement Total Maximum Daily Load Fecal Coliform Bacteria and Toxics in the The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board has adopted numerous resolutions to address Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) in the Newport Bay Watershed, the earliest in 1998. The County of Orange, City of Newport Beach (City) and upstream cities established a Cooperative Agreement in 2003 to provide funding for the necessary studies and implementation of improvements related to the Newport Bay TMDLs. Staff recommends that the City Council approve renewing the Cooperative Agreement with the County of Orange and upstream cities to implement water quality improvement programs within the Newport Bay Watershed as mandated by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board. RECOMMENDATIONS: a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and the activity is not a project as defined in Section15378; and b) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Cooperative Agreement MA-080-23010376 with the County of Orange and other upstream agencies to implement these water quality improvements, studies, monitoring, shared funding and compliance programs. DISCUSSION: The Newport Bay Watershed encompasses a 152-square-mile area comprised of a tributary of streets, land masses, creeks, and flood control channels. Water quality impairments are caused by nutrient, fecal coliform bacteria, and toxic constituents where impairment is defined by Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (Note there is also impairment for sediment which is covered under a separate cooperative agreement). RX Cooperative Agreement to Implement Total Maximum Daily Load Programs for Nutrients, Fecal Coliform Bacteria and Toxics in the Newport Bay Watershed April 25, 2023 Page 2 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State Water Resources Control Board via the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board have incorporated requirements to prepare clean-up plans based on TMDLs for the watershed. TMDL programs require the reduction of pollutant loads within a prescribed schedule. The requirements of the TMDLs are incorporated into the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit. For the City's watershed (San Diego Creek/Newport Bay), the listed entities responsible for implementing these TMDLs are the County of Orange, Orange County Flood Control District, Irvine Ranch Water District, Irvine Company, and the Cities of Costa Mesa, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Lake Forest, Newport Beach, Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin. Each of the listed parties cooperates via a Cooperative Agreement (formally executed in September 2003 and amended in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2015 and 2018) to implement and administer the obligations of the TMDLs. The current agreement terminates on June 30, 2023. Under the Cooperative Agreement, planning, monitoring and reporting are implemented to maintain compliance with TMDL requirements. The Agreement includes a funding formula developed by the partners to implement the TMDL programs. The City's share is currently 9% and will increase to 9.5% in FY2023-24. The increase is due to a request from the Irvine Company (and subsequent approval from the funding partners) to have its cost share percentage reduced as its land holdings in the watershed have diminished over time. FISCAL IMPACT: The TMDL budget for FY 2022-23 is $1,376,529 of which the City's share is $123,888. The City's adopted budget for FY 2022-23 includes sufficient funding for the TMDL program. The City's share will be expensed to the TMDL Administration Account 0108011-811011 (General Fund). Beyond costs associated with the Cooperative Agreement, the City is responsible for funding water quality improvement projects in the City through the City's Capital Improvement Program. =1ki1V1:7e7kiIJil=I'klhrim:7ANIAvivi Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations — Title 14.

For the initial year of the Agreement, the County shall invoice each Party for its deposit either at the beginning of the fiscal year or thirty (30) days after approval of the Agreement, whichever is later. In following years, the County shall invoice each Party for its annual deposit at the beginning of each fiscal year. Each Party shall pay the deposit within 45 calendar days of the date of the invoice. Each Party's deposit shall be based on its prorated share of the approved annual budget, reduced by the sum of (a) its prorated share of any surplus identified in the prior fiscal year end accounting, and (b) its prorated share of any funding provided for programs in the approved budget from entities not party to this Agreement. Interest earned on the Parties' deposits will not be paid to the Parties, but will be credited against the Parties' share of the program costs. The County shall notify each of the Parties if it appears that costs may exceed the budget approved by the Parties in any fiscal year. The County shall prepare a fiscal year end accounting within 60 calendar days of the end of the fiscal year.

If the fiscal year end accounting results in the sum of the deposits exceeding costs (net of interest earnings), the excess deposits will carry forward to reduce the billings for the following year. The fiscal year end accounting results and associated invoices for each Party will take into consideration any outside funding provided for programs in the approved budget from entities not party to this Agreement. Upon termination of the program, a final accounting shall be performed by the County. If costs from approved budgets remaining after the deduction of interest costs exceed the sum of the deposits, the County shall invoice each Party for its prorated share of the deficit. Each Party shall pay the invoice within 45 calendar days of the date of the invoice. If the sum of the deposits, including interest, exceeds Page 5 of 23 Final for Approval 8-7 Agreement No. MA-080-23010376 the costs from approved budgets, the County shall reimburse to each Party its prorated share of the excess, within 45 calendar days of the final accounting.
