TO: Members of the Newport Beach City Council
FROM: Dave Kiff, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Amendment for FY 2001 -02 NPDES Program
RECOMMENDED Approve Budget Amendment #_ increasing the City's contribution to the
ACTION: County of Orange's NPDES administration by $16,291.14 from $20,000 to
$36,291.14.
BRIEF SUMMARY: Cities are directed to control nmoff entering storm drain systems (called
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems or "MS4s ") so that the nmoff does not
hurt water quality at the end of the systems. Newport Beach has more than 104
miles of MS4s that enter Newport Bay or the Pacific Ocean at about 212 locations.
A 5 -year permit (Municipal Permit) issued by the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region (Regional Board) regulates the discharge
of runoff out of a city's storm drain system. On December 19, 2001, the Regional
Board will likely adopt a new 5 -year permit (through 2006) for the City, the
County, and 24 other co- permittee cities. The permit tells us how to limit urban
runoff, enforce and report violations, educate residents and businesses, and to
stay in compliance with the Permit.
The County of Orange is the lead permittee for the Permit. The City, as a co-
permittee, contracts with the County to administer the regional aspects of the
NPDES program, including report compilation, administration, training, and
education. Even though the new permit has not yet been adopted, we know that
it will be more expensive to administer than the current permit. As such, the
City's allocation of $20,000 for FY 2001 -02 is too small. Our share of the County's
lead permittee expenses (driven by a watershed acreage -based formula) will be
$16,291.14 more (for a total of $36,291.14).
This agenda item asks that the Council approve the Budget Amendment (see
Appendix A) appropriating another $16,291.14 to the City's Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 2001 -02 NPDES program administration.
For more information about the proposed Permit, please see the November 13,
2001 Agenda Item on New Stormwater Regulations or the November 27, 2001
Study Session Item of the same name.
